/ Author's Note: This is my first time ever writing fanfiction for Cyborg 009. After re-watching the 2001 series I decided if I don't do this now, I never will.
This story is set between episode 17 The Final Battle and 19 The Hero. Trying to keep in with the show, somewhat. I am incorporating my OC, Cyborg 0014 as a main character. I suppose at this point for OC Cyborgs it should be 002894984373, but heeeeey. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"…" = speech
'….' = thoughts
….. = internal communicator
Enjoy!

"Cyborg 0014, report to the hold and lead our soldiers to capture the 00 Rebels." Black Ghost's hologram shut off without waiting for a response. One does not disobey orders around here after all.
"Aye, aye Captain," 0014 mumbled. Taking a deep breath, and lacing her fingers, she pondered for a moment. All around her in the control room were mechanical soldiers. They are the back up. Black Ghost thought nothing of sending his human soldiers in as gun fodder first. "Flesh soldiers" he sometimes called them. She was kept in case of an emergency while the commander was hunting the 00 Rebels. Though there was commotion earlier, she had not been summoned from the control room.
She had been spending time reading up on the Rebels' abilities and profiles. 001, powers of telepathy…. 006, flamethrower…. 009 super speed and strength…. Black Ghost wanted her to be prepared to take them down. She was prepared to use them to get herself and Professor Ryan out of this base. However, from the reports above, all the Cyborgs had been stunned or possibly killed by the electro-magnetic rays. If they are dead, she will just have to re-plan. If they are injured, she will be able to revive the strongest. 005, 008, and 009 would be her best bet for their strength and background. She needed muscle, tact, and speed to pull off this endeavor.
Pushing away from the desk, and rising to her feet, she moved to the door. Catching a glimpse of herself in the glossy black of a monitor screen, 0014's breath hitched. "This is not me… this plan has to work," she thought to herself. It seemed that a stern frown was her main expression now. Her hair pulled back in a tight bun only made her look more severe. A military uniform of midnight blue with gold buttons and scarf completed her soldier ensemble. She felt she looked nothing like a 21 year old. "Perhaps today will be the last time I have to look like a stranger to myself." She snapped back to reality as the doors beeped and opened.
"I will enter the ship first. Stay down and armed. I will give you the order to attack them if they do not cooperate," 0014 informed the soldiers. 'Perhaps I will spare some of your lives too,' she hoped. 0014 made her way up onto the ship while sensing with her internal communicator. She hoped against hope that they were alive and she could send the message that she was not on Black Ghost's side. Opening her communicator, she received a barrage of voices all at once;
"DON'T MOVE. They will come in any moment!"
"I'm ready! This is it! We are gonna TAKE 'EM DOWN!"
Calm down! Stick to the plan!
I can't do this, we shouldn't have to fight!
Please, this could be our only shot to be free!
Yes! They are alive! 0014 nearly broke out a victory air punch. Gathering herself, she thought as loud as she could in her head. She had to broadcast above them all….
CYBORG 001-009! PLEASE LISTEN! I AM 0014. I HAVE BEEN SENT TO BRING YOU TO BLACK GHOST, BUT I WANT TO GET ALL OF YOU AND MYSELF OUT OF HIS BASE! IF YOU PLAY ALONG WE CAN DESTROY THIS PLACE AND BE FREE!
A moment of silence, and another rush of thoughts as 0014 approached the top hatch of the ship.
Another Cyborg?!
Why should we trust YOU?
Maybe she is a fellow rebel.
We have no proof! Stick to the plan!
0014 braced herself for another plea…
I WILL WALK YOU OUT OF HERE, AVOIDING THE SOLDIERS HERE, AND LEAD YOU STRAIGHT TO THE CONTROL ROOM. I KNOW THE BASE. I HAD A LIFE ONCE. I WANT TO BE OUT OF THIS NIGHTMARE. YOU WILL FIGHT EITHER WAY. I COULD USE YOUR BATTLE WITH THE SOLDIERS AS A DIVERSION TO GET MYSELF AND MY PROFESSOR RYAN OUT, OR WE WORK TOGETHER. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
Silence….
0014 used her laser blaster to open the hatch.
I am coming down. If you are not with me, for the love of kittens, do not attack me. I am on your side, if you believe me or not. Let me take 003 and 001 as hostage. Then we walk out. If not, rush past me. We are being watched by, they have x-ray vision on the inside of your ship.
Still silence…
0014 hoped that this is a good sign. She opened the valve and hopped down into the ship. She walked carefully through the hallway, making sure to keep her hands by her side. Going straight in with a laser gun in hand just wouldn't do. Eventually she reached the control room, where all the 00s and an elderly man were sprawled over chairs. This is a good sign. They would have attacked her or gotten past her by now if they were not in on her plan.
"0014, report. How is it down there?" crackled the commander's voice.
"They appear to be stunned. I will investigate further. Everything is under control."
She had already seen their photographs on their profiles. 0014 felt so excited seeing them in person. They were almost a legend among the rest of Black Ghost's forces. It was easy to find 003, being the only lady down there. She had the baby clutched tightly to her chest. 0014 lightly rubbed her shoulder and spoke over the internal communicator, so that they could all hear.
Please, play along, 003. I need to be dramatic. Last thing I want is more bloodshed.
I understand, 0014. I hope this works.
Suddenly, 0014 yanked 003 up, gripping the back of her neck, and gun under her chin.
"I KNOW YOU ARE ALL PLAYING. GET UP, OR I WILL BLOW HER HEAD OFF!" 0014 shouted, her voice full of authority. The rest of the 00s scrambled up to their feet. A mix of fear and cunning swept over their faces. 003 shivered ever so slightly. 009 took a step forward, mouth opening to say something.
"Take another step without my order and the baby goes too." 0014 hissed. "I want you, in a line, after me. Follow me out of here."
0014 turned slowly, not breaking eye contact, and walked backwards down the hallway, taking 003 and 001. The 00 Cyborgs followed briskly.
OH MY GOSH I AM SO SORRY 003 and 001
It's quite alright.
Bravo! We got another actor here!
I am still not sure about this…
I will tell the soldiers outside to lower their arms. We are about to land at the base. We have a short trip from the docking station down to the control room.
0014 exited first with 003 and 001. "Soldiers, lower your arms. The 00 Rebels have announced their defeat!" Looking down at the faces of the soldiers, 003 saw many relieved faces. They were just normal men, many looked like only teenagers.
0014 motioned for the other 00s to climb out on top of the ship.
"Well done, 0014. We are now landing at Black Ghost's base. Bring the 00 Rebels to room 1F. Black Ghost is wai-" the voice cut out as the aircraft made contact, like a plane's touch down. A moment later, the connecting doors opened up, revealing a huge hallway. Only a handful of guards stood at the opening.
Now is our chance. Their guard is down. We need to go down that hallway, turn left, and then break down the wall with the white panels numbered 18 and 20. That will bring us to the interior leading to the weapon storage and control room. Ready… 1, 2, 3!
0014 released 003 and fired several needle shots to destroy the door alarm and the cameras above it. "Let's go!"
Stunned soldiers attempted to fire at random. 005 picked up Professor Gilmore and 003, still cradling 001. The group raced to the hallway, bullets bouncing off their uniforms. Chaos between the soldiers broke out. Smoke filled the air. The atmosphere was electrifying! 0014 could feel it in every fiber of her being; it is all going to plan!
The group tore down the hall, turning left, and counting; 2, 4, 6… 18 and 20. 005 pulled the panel off and 008 darted inside. "All clear!" and everyone moved inside. "Excellent work,' declared Professor Gilmore. 005 fitted the panel back in, and the sound of soldiers footsteps could be heard stomping past.
007 breathed out a sigh of relief, "That was close! Thanks to 001 we are still alive. And you, 0014, along with a thrilling performance!" He clasped his hands together and brought them up to his face. "Well, at least we all hope it was a performance!"
0014 did a little curtsy. "Absolutely, 007. I pretty much scared myself during that."
004 crossed his arms. "Before we go any further, we need a plan. We also need to some background on you, 0014. So that we know you are what you say you are."
"For sure, 004. Let me try and keep this short and sweet. We gotta move soon."
002 looked at her curiously, "Why do you act as if you know us?"
0014 shot him a cheeky smile, "Oh, I had been studying you all. I'm your biggest fan!"
