CHAPTER 1

THE THREE CORES

An old legend tells about the three cores.

The first one is the blue core, it contains positive energy. It can heal, save lives and change things for the better. Whoever is the holder of it, has to learn how to use its power correctly.

The second one is the red core, it contains negative energy and is the full opposite of the blue core. It can harm, kill and change things for the worse. The holder of the red core has to learn how to control it because if they're too weak, the red core would take over the holder.

The third one is an unknown core, it contains both positive and negative energy. It can decide if it wants to become a red core or a blue core and is the strongest from those threes. The holder has to be mentally very strong to be able to control and use its power. But what no one knows, is the real power behind that core.

You're able to make more cores because the energy source has no end, just the unknown core doesn't have that possibility. Its energy is unique and there's nothing that can destroy it. If one of the two other cores gets destroyed but the other one is still there, it will come back. The balance of the universe has to stay, no matter what.

In the year 3003 in a floating city called Metro City, in the ministry of science, an old professor named Dr. Elefun presented the blue and the red core to the scientist. The president called Stone and Dr. Tenma, the director of the ministry were also there. Everyone was impressed by the beautiful blue core while the evil president only had eyes for the red core. They planed to use the blue energy for a robot the president wanted, but he took control over the remote to load the red energy. He ignored the scientist's warnings about it and in the end, everything went out of control and it killed someone. That, someone, was a young boy called Toby, he was thirteen years old at the time and was the son of the director of the ministry. The scientist couldn't get over the loss of his son and reactivated a robot that was the perfect copy of him which used to be a project back then. That robot became the holder of the blue core.

The scientist realized that that robot won't be able to replace his son and rejected him, but in the end, he realized that that robot was still his son, no matter what and accepted him for who he was. The robot fought against the red core and sacrificed himself to save the life of the others. But what you give, also comes back and he got revived by a robot friend of his who also had the blue energy.

Since then on, he was known as Metro City's hero "Astro Boy".

The scientists thought that the legend about the unknown core was just a legend and nothing more, but what if they were wrong? And what about the red core?

That's it with the first chapter! :)

I hope you enjoyed it! :D

From now on I will start to always ask you a question down here!
