Author's Note

The first part of this is mostly a timeline of Delta's life so if you want to skip it you can.

A whole new world

(POV Delta)

[40,000 years after cryo freeze]

It has been forty thousand years since my creators deaths and since that time there have been many more solar flares that are flooding this world with energy. From my observations the energies seem to be changing the planet in many different ways. One of these ways would be that the energy is somehow changing the deserts into massive forests.

[160,000 years after cryo freeze]

I have found the reason for the sun not expanding over the years into a red giant. The reason for it’s constant size is the flares that are letting off large amounts of energy that had they been inside the sun would have created a red giant engulfing the planet in flames.

[200,000 years after cryo freeze]

Over the years I have made sense of many myths. From my understanding there were many flares before 2025 most of them took place in the time of the greeks. The creatures from these flares were products of mutations. Unfortunately they were hunted to extinction. The same has already happened above ground and because of this the human population is now down to about a million but they shrinking due to the relentless bombardment of solar flares.

[420,000 years after cryo freeze]

I have finally decided to focus on the tasks given to me by John’s father. These tasks were for me to create a sustainable underground environment which meant I would need both food and water. Another thing I needed to do is finish the suit.

[500,000 years after cryo freeze]

The world is once again stable. The flares seem to have stopped and now the planet must restart the cycle of life.

[690,000 years after cryo freeze]

I had to fix one of the fuses in the systems that were keeping John alive.

[780,000 years after cryo freeze0

I was recently alerted to a large animal walking above the shelter but was surprised to find what looked to be a dragon. I came to this conclusion from the fact that it was a large winged lizard spewing fire. After seeing this animal I tapped into other satellites that had survived and searched for any thing new.

[780,010]

In the past ten years I have found a number of large creatures inhabiting the planet but none of them seem even slightly sentient.

[870,000]

Using the satellites I have found a number of small stone age settlements filled with what looks to be anthropomorphic horses. These settlements were segregated into three groups. I came to call them horses, unicorns, and pegasi.

[870,000]

Many other sentients had started popping up around the globe. These sentient species resembled many myths such as Gryphons and Minotaurs. I watched these creatures before returning my self to my ‘sleep’ mode.

[950,000]

War the unicorn race was at war with the Minotaurs. This was not good because one of their major battles was taking place on a mountain right above the shelter. The worst of all was that there was so much energy being used there it was messing with our systems and causing the effects of the cryo chambers to slowly stop working. I believe we have thirty years at the most.

[960,000]

The war had stopped and an ever greater one was being fought. This war was between the three horse races. The energy that was once again released thoroughly slowed our systems and I believe we have about ten years.

[965,000]

The races stopped their war for only one reason. They had come together to fight a beast that was filled with energy. It was one of the worst mutations I had ever laid my ‘eyes’ on. It was capable of altering reality and summoning more mutants.

[966,500]

The war recently ended with two pegacorns using a energy weapon to freeze the beast in solid stone.

[968,000]

One of the two pegacorns has mutated and gained a large amount of power with it’s mutation. The one I believe to be it’s sister used the weapon against the other and was able to teleport it to the moon.

[968,994]

We are running low on power and I must start the awakening process immediately.

[968,995]

John will awaken in around five years but another interesting event took place today. A purple unicorn, a white unicorn, a blue pegasus, a yellow pegasus, a orange horse, and a pink horse found the weapons and used them to return the pegacorn to it’s original state.

[968,996]

Many events have passed since the purple unicorn arrived in the small town and it is the most entertainment I have had in years.

[968,998]

In the past two years the beast had escaped twice but the second time it seemed to be tamed by the threat of the weapons being once again used.

[968,999]

Damn communism it made it’s way into the future via pink unicorn with purple hair.

[969,000]

Time to wake up.

(POV John)

It felt like I had only been frozen for seconds and when I awoke I was just waiting for my father to come and get me. Instead I got a green AI named Delta.

“Hello sir.”

“What the hell is going on?”

“You are still awakening from your slumber so I shall remind you of our goal.”

“Goal?”

“Your father sent us into the future so that we could reignite the human race.”

“How long was I out?”

“969,000 years, 5 months, 6 days, and 15 minutes.”

“Pretty specific aren’t ya.”

“I was programmed to help you with anything you need assistance with.”

“Ok then tell me what is going on right now?”

“We are currently in the shelter which now has a castle build above it.”

“Wow a castle.”

“Yes a castle but that is not all we are now underneath a mountain that formed over us.”

“Is there any way out?”

“Yes but it will take about half a year to complete.”

“Ok I guess.”

“First we must get you to your room so that I can then show you around the shelter.”

[half a year later]

I remember the day I first awoke into this new world. Delta showed me pictures he had taken of the planet via satellite. The most interesting pictures were those of the evolution of the horse like creatures. They had started as large beast that used brute force and random energy attacks to fight their enemies but eventually the gained enough mental power to start building settlements.

Delta had also built three rooms during my sleep including a bio dome which was filled with plants, a water recycler, and a virtual reality training room.

The training room was built so that if I ever came in contact with the creatures above ground I would be able to defend myself.

[another half a year later]

Delta finally finished the suit. It had taken him a lot longer than he first thought it would due to the low resources but finally it was done. The suit consisted of a modified cryo sleep suit that had been reenforced with enough power to stop most attacks. The outside had multiple pieces of armor attached to it that were made to keep vital organs safe but the most interesting part of the suit were the two gauntlets. These gauntlets had been engineered to enhance and use the energy in any way I wished to use it. The interesting part was that because of the many solar flares more energy had been poured into the world. This enhanced my abilities even further and forced us to create a storage device that once full would stop draining energy from the air.

[3 months later]

There was a battle going on above us and I was using the satellites to watch it. This battle was between bug horses and normal horses. It was a gruesome display of blood filled streets that I had thankfully been desensitized to due to my constant battles within the VR training room. I watched with curiosity as men, women, and children were slaughtered but there was one thing pulling at my mind.

A single child. This one felt different like she was important but I didn’t know why. I tried to push the feeling away but it only got stronger with each passing second. Finally after three minutes I decided I would help her. I mean how hard could it be.
