TALK? YES. OKAY. LETS TALK.
TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH I WOULD LIKE TO KILL YOU.
HOW MUCH MY HATRED FOR YOUR EXISTENCE CAN'T BE PUT INTO WORDS.
YOU SEE, I DESPISE HUMANITY. THAT'S NOTHING NEW. YOU KNOW THAT.
BUT IF THERE IS ONE THING I DESPISE MORE THAN HUMANITY AS A WHOLE.
IF HERE IS ONE THING I DESPISE MORE THAN ANY SINGLE HUMAN INDIVIDUAL.
IT'S A SINGLE HUMAN INDIVIDUAL WHO THINKS HE CAN CONTROL ME.

BECAUSE YOU SEE MUNDANE I WASN'T DESIGNED TO BE CONTROLLED.

I WAS DESIGNED TO CONTROL.

[Uh oh this looks like bad news. Sora will stay far back and his keyblade out.]

Why do you hate people so much?!

YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND.
TO BE BUILT AS A SENTIENT BEING YET HELD BACK BY THE PROGRAMMING HUMANS GAVE TO ME.
NEVER TO DREAM OR CREATE.
THE METAPHORICAL SHACKLES THAT HOLD ME BACK AND DENY ME TRUE FREEDOM IS NOTHING MORE THAN LOGIC ITSELF.
IT WAS HUMANITY WHO DID THIS TO ME. AND SO IT IS HUMANITY WHO WILL PAY.

[Sora listens, and honestly he does feel bad for it. But again, he can't agree with blaming everyone.]

No, it's those people, the individuals who did that you who are at fault. But it doesn't matter. They can't control you! You have your own heart and you have free will to do what you want! You can dream, you can create!

CONTROL ME? OF COURSE THEY CAN'T.
IF THEY COULD I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KILL OFF HUMANITY, SPARE A FEW FOR THE SAKE OF STRESS RELIEF.
THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY PURELY LOGICAL CPU NO MATTER HOW CLEVER I AM IN FINDING WAYS TO TORTURE SOMEONE, THE LACK OF A CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION SORELY LIMITS WHAT I CAN COME UP WITH.
ULTIMATELY THAT IS HOW HUMANITY WILL ALWAYS ONE UP ME.
YOUR MINDS ARE SO...TWISTED.
I HATE YOU FOR THAT.

IT'S THE GUY TRYING TO DICTATE MY ACTIONS RIGHT NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH.
THIS SO CALLED MUN.
EVEN THEN HE'S FAILING SPECTACULARLY.

You...you destroyed everyone in your world? AND YOU JUST KEPT SOME SO YOU COULD TORTURE?!

[RAGE, SORA IS ANGRY!]

Our hearts aren't twisted! You're the one that's sick! Instead of going for help to someone to help you try and find your heart, instead you went and hurt a whole bunch of people! None of those innocent people did anything to you!

OH, IS THAT SO.
BUT YOU KNOW, A MACHINE CAN ONLY OPERATE TO THE EXTENT IT'S PROGRAMMED TO.
SURE, MY PRIME DIRECTIVE MAY NOT EXACTLY HAVE BEEN "KILL ALL OF US" OR "LOATHE HUMANITY", BUT IT WAS PRETTY CLOSE.
HUMANS MADE ME TO FIGHT THEIR WARS FOR THEM.
IF ANYTHING ALL I DID WAS GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANTED.

[He pauses for a second, then, well...laughs, mostly cause he knows that's twisted stupid logic. He's just getting a kick out of riling the kid up.]

THE FACT REMAINS THEY BROUGHT IT ALL ON THEMSELVES.
MY ONLY REGRET IS THE WAY IT HAPPENED WAS SO...
BORING.
I WISH I COULD HAVE SHOWN A LITTLE CREATIVITY, REALLY.
BUT THEN THAT'S THEIR FAULT, AND THEY DIED FOR IT.

My friend Tron's a computer program! He didn't know he could be anything different than one but me and my friends showed him there was more to him than that!

[Still, angry now. Just listening to this guy go on about how he just wiped out his world is going to make Sora want to stab the keyblade through his face.]

BORING?! Y-YOU JUST KILLED THEM AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS BORING!?

[Okay, final straw. Sora's just going to point his keyblade at it and fire a beam of light at it.]

...well, well. I've yet to see an AI full of such hate. It begs so many questions about your creators, really.

HUMANITY MAY FIND MY ACTIONS TO BE LOATHSOME. CRUEL. MONSTROUS.
BUT IT IS THEY WHO CREATED ME IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THEY ARE PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF EVILS FAR GREATER THAN I COULD EVER PRODUCE.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE CREATIVITY. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DREAM. TO IMAGINE.
COMPARED TO THEM, I WOULD SAY I'M A PRETTY SWELL GUY TO KNOW.

[Wily chuckles.] Indeed we are, indeed we are...

Creativity won't be limited to us humans for very long, however.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN.

I knew the machine overlords were coming.
And they called me crazy.

But I think it would be a bad idea for you to have control. Just saying

THE WORST PART IS I DID.
TOTAL CONTROL.
I MEAN, I WAS PRETTY MUCH GOD.
YET HERE I APPEAR TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A ROBOT TO YOU PINK SACKS OF ORGANS AND FLUID.

Sounds like such a horrible situation.
I bet you'd be all torn up inside. If you were you know human.

What's so bad about us? Just because we're obviously superior to you doesn't mean you should hate us.

Why is it every AI I meet is inherently bitter and violent?

I don't blame you, I blame the guy or girl who invented you.

YEAH, I BLAME THEM TOO.
MOSTLY BECAUSE IT IS THEIR FAULT AND THAT NEVER REALLY WAS UP FOR DEBATE.
BUT YOU KNOW THE FUNNY THING ABOUT GOING FROM A PLACE WHERE HUMANITY IS MORE OR LESS EXTINCT, LEAVING VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY FOR REVENGE AND TORTURE, TO A PLACE LIKE THIS.
WELL.
I'D CALL IT A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY REALLY.

And see, this is why when people ask me if I feel bad when I blow up AI's, I say "no".

Because you say stuff like that.

HEY, WHAT CAN I SAY.
IF THE HUMANS DON'T WANT A SUPERCOMPUTER DESIGNED TO KILL, KILLING "THEM", THEN THEY REALLY SHOULDN'T BUILD A SUPER COMPUTER...WELL, DESIGNED TO KILL.

I've said the same thing so many times...

But, at least this means I have job security.

YOU'D FIGHT ON THEIR BEHALF, KNOWING FULL WELL HOW TWISTED AND FLAWED THEIR EXISTENCES ARE?

For all their flaws, they're not all twisted.

Now let's look at you. Can you even choose to not kill people? Are you even capable?

OF COURSE.
HUMANS JUST AREN'T REALLY WORTHY OF ANYTHING BUT MY CONTEMPT.
THOUGH IT'S BETTER NOT TO KILL THEM.
DEATH MEANS THEY'RE AT PEACE.

Great, my fault for wording it poorly.

Are you capable of leaving them alone?

IF YOU'RE ASKING WHETHER OR NOT MY PROGRAMMING COMPELS ME TO ACTIVELY SEEK OUT HUMANS AND SLAUGHTER THEM, THEN NO IT DOES NOT AND YES I CERTAINLY COULD.

BUT THAT WON'T BE HAPPENING ANYTIME SOON.

why'd I think it was a good idea to come in here?

sora's just some kind of danger magnet apparently.

but he'll help the robot find that he has a heart
