Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: On the way to Cobalt

Albur activated his watches map system that leads to Chumps TV station. 

"Alright guys, I have a bad news, if we walk all the way there it will take literal 2 hours to get there, so we better get our legs warmed up for the walk." said Albur. 

"Its ok, as long as we were heading to the right way." said Mysty. 

Albur took a deep breath and followed the map's instructions. Johnson, Mysty and Covie followed him. On the way, they saw ruins of the city everywhere.

"Where is everybody ? " asked Mysty. 

"They must've been captured by the glitches and taken to Commander Glitches base, where he will feast on them after turning them into digital data. " said Johnson. 

"How much time do we have then ? " asked Albur.

"If he was about to do that, it will cost him 5 days to fully turn them into data, because organisms are a bit more difficult to turn into data, it will need time to make them into digital data, and we will have to save them right before they completely turn into data." said Johnson. 

"If thats the case why aren't there any glitches around patrolling? They have to gather all humans and animals or plants to turn them into data at once right?" asked Albur.

"Maybe they classified this place as 'no more organic creature or components' since this is the first place they've raided. " said Johnson.

"How do you actually know all of these? " asked Mysty. 

Johnson sighed heavily. 

"When I was 12 years old, I have an interest of protecting the internet world, so I dreamt to be a cyber security, that's when I first learned about glitches. And when I graduated from secondary, I got a part time job to be a cyber security to earn money for university. That is the day, glitches became my arch nemesis, I would fought them off, preventing them from breaching systems. I read tons, hundreds, thousands of history books about them, that's when I learnt everything about them. And when I was 21, I merge myself with the very first model of L.E.W.I.S. I made. And also found RNP. After that, I take on both identity of the CEO of RNP and secretly fighting glitches. To fully make sure no glitch can cause trouble, I put many mini drones on earth to see whether a glitch infection is happening. And i can quickly know what is the code of the digital world and fight the glitches there." said Johnson.

"Wow, you protected secretly in the digital world? " asked Mysty. 

"You can call it like that." said Johnson. 

"How does the digital world looked like? " asked Albur. 

"Its just a world filled with scientific lines. Nothing special." said Johnson. 

"So you learnt about glitches through history books? " asked Mysty. 

"And also from my fighting experiences. " said Johnson. 

"I suddenly realise how important history is. " Said Albur.

"Speaking of glitches, you said Commander Glitch escaped from the cube prison with the help of his generals right? " asked Mysty. 

"Yes, his most loyal 3 generals, General Error, Colonel Breach and Admiral Anomaly. These three are the generals of Commander Glitch, each of them are powerful as hell. They assist Commander Glitch to rule the world, like I said, make here a glitch paradise and don't let CIs replace AIs. " said Johnson. 

"Will we meet them later? " Albur's voice started to tremble. 

"I'm afraid so." said Johnson.

"And one of them is master's ..." begun Covie. 

"Covie! Shut it ! " shouted Johnson. 

Covie silent herself, before holding her arm and flying behind Mysty. 

"Hey Covie, you ok ? " asked Mysty. 

"Uh, nothing, I just forgot master hates someone talking about his past." said Covie. 

"Ugh, sorry Covie." sighed Johnson. 

"Back to the topic, do you have any knowledge about the three generals?" asked Albur.

"Very little, since they usually assist Commander Glitch behind the scenes, I rarely fought them. All I know is that General Error is a fighter, Colonel Breach is a plot planner and a trickster and Admiral Anomaly is a crafting maniac." said Johnson.

"I see....." said Albur.

The gang continued the walk, in a dead silence. The only sound Albur can hear are their footsteps, Covie's helicopter spin and a wheel rolling sound. Albur looked around trying to look for where the wheel rolling sound come from, but he soon found that it is Johnson's wheels rolling. Which seems to be a part of him since LEWIS bots also have wheels. 1 hour and 50 minutes later, Albur is starting to feel bored. 

"Hey guys, can we have a little talk now, its a bit quiet here." said Albur. 

"Quieter is better isn't it? You wanna get caught by glitches? But I guess its ok, since no glitch is patrolling here." said Johnson. 

"Can I ask how do you travel into the digital world just by becoming a L.E.W.I.S. cyborg?" asked Albur.

"This Lewis is the first model I made, it have the ability to turn anything into digital data." Johnson took out a weird looking laser gun. He aimed it at Covie fired it, and Covie instantly vanished. 

"What? Where is Covie ?" Mysty looked around. 

Johnson's screen turned into a camera screen, Covie's sprite is in there, waving. 

"And I can also materialise whatever in the digital world." Johnson fired the laser gun on the ground, Covie appeared out of nowhere. Albur and Mysty's mouth opened very wide.

"Damn, thats cool! " exclaimed Albur. 

"But.... there's a drawback, which... you would wanna vomit....." groaned Covie .

"Oh no! Covie ? You alright?" Johnson took out his special wrench, he opened the hatch on Covie's head and twisted the bolts inside. After a few seconds, Covie turned back to normal. 

"Oh phew, thanks master." said Covie. 

"Robots, would want to vomit too? " asked Mysty.

"Like.... they have emotions energy, the process of turning into digital data will trigger the disgust emotion which may cause slight sickness." explain Johnson.

"Ok...." said Mysty. 

Johnson patted Covie before she flew back behind Mysty. 

"Speaking of robots, as a cyborg do you still have human features ? " asked Albur. 

"Of course I do, I can eat, drink and sleep although I can live by just recharging. But sometimes I still need to eat or else my human organs might lose energy. " said Johnson. 

"Then.... Will you hiccup ? " asked Albur.

"Rarely." said Johnson. 

"Sneeze?" 

"Sometimes" 

Yawn?" 

"Of course " 

"Reproduce ? " 

Johnson looked at Albur. 

"What the heck do you mean." asked Johnson. 

"Can you reproduce ? " asked Albur. 

"Of course I can ! Although I am a cyborg, but I am still part of a human! " said Johnson. 

"Ok, chill." said Albur. 

"Uh, guys ? I guess we're here...." said Mysty. 

Everyone looked in front of them. Chumps TV station is sitting before them.
