Hello everyone! This is my first fanfic so be nice and give me your opinion about it. I have developed most of the story but still have some troubles towards the end and I'll love to have fresher ideas.

So the first two chapters are going to be a little bit slow, but they are necessary to set the mood, so bear with me at least until chapter 3 okay?

Summary: After defeating Black Ghost in the Underground Empire (end of anime) 002 and 009 were saved by their teammates. Although they believed the fight against evil was over, the cyborgs will find themselves protecting the world once more. Meanwhile, 009 will discover some things about his past and his bloodline, and 3 strangers will get involved to help him control his new powers. Is it their destiny to be warriors for as long as they live? Would they be able to live peacefully after everything they had been through? Mainly shounen story with little bit of fluff about love, friendship and bonds between family.

Disclaimer: I don't own Cyborg 009 story or any of its characters. I only own the plot in this story and the made up characters.

On with the story!

"I told you already and will tell you one more time! You always ruin dinner with your long and boring speeches!" Chang scolded Great Britain. "And I told you that we should include a dinner show to the restaurant so it becomes even more popular. I have to practice to perform the perfect show for all the audience we will get from all around the world. We might get people visiting from New York, Sydney, Rome, London, and we might even get some cute girls from Brazil! The show should be perfect and we will need to…" before Great Britain could continue with his idea of a perfect dinner show, one of Chang's frying pans hit him right in the face.

"Stop your blabbering and sit down and eat before it gets cold." Chang said. GB didn't make a move to stop the frying pan from hitting the ground with loud noise since he was wide-eyed in shock from the sudden attack from the Chinese man. He then continued to speak "You really are an ungrateful friend. I'm just planning this to bring more customers to the restaurant. You should listen to me more often and this place will be full all year long" finished GB by crossing his arms in front of his chest and turning his head to his right as if he was offended by Chang's words.

"I believe that you should listen and do as Chang told you before Jet finish all the food" stated calmly Albert as he pointed his thumb to the New Yorker who was sitting to his right and devouring all the food he could reach.

When GB saw what the red-haired cyborg was doing, he didn't spend one more second before he sat down and started to eat his dinner as fast as he could. Everybody laughed at the sight.

It was a normal evening for the uncommon family. Everyone was gathered at Chang's restaurant for dinner to celebrate that Black Ghost had been defeated and that 002 had saved 009 from certain doom. It had being two months since they fought Black Ghost in the Underground Empire, two months for Jet and Joe's injuries to heal up, and two months for all of the team members to relax and truly believe that this time they had defeated Black Ghost for good.

After 002 and 009 plummeted to Earth, the rest of the team got a hold of a Black Ghost's ship and flew towards the coordinates where their two teammates were predicted to fall while 001 used his powers to protect them a bit from the heat of reentering Earth's atmosphere. With 003's powers, they found 002 and 009 bodies just in time for Doctor Gilmore to keep them alive. Then, the team flew to Japan and stayed at Kozumi's house for some time until the injured cyborgs were better.

Tonight they were celebrating that they were all together and that they could move on with their lives.

After dinner, everybody helped to clean up the restaurant. Pyunma and Geronimo Jr. were washing the dishes, Jet and Albert put away the dishes on the shelves, and Joe and Francoise cleaned the table and ordered the chairs. Meanwhile, Chang and GB were still arguing about the dinner show while Kozumi and Gilmore were playing a board game and Ivan was sleeping on his basket besides Gilmore.

Joe stopped what he was doing and admired the view of his odd family. He remembered the way he felt in the orphanage with the rest of the kids; they were kind of a family but just temporarily. He knew that every kid was just waiting for the opportunity to leave with a real family and forget everything about the orphanage.

The feeling he had tonight was different, he felt warm and safe with them, and he knew that even when all of them will go to different countries to start their new lives, they will still be a family. They had been brought together by the strangest circumstances and had overcame really tough times (like fighting Black Ghost over and over again), so the bond they shared is so deep that not even time or distance would severed it. By this time, Joe was smiling contently at this thought.

Everyone finished their chores and head back to Kozumi's house. Some of the cyborgs started to pack everything since they would be returning to their homelands very soon. Jet was pretty excited since he would see Caty and Jimmy again.

Jet was blushing when he remembered the only thing he regretted by the time he was too close to death: not telling Caty how he really felt about her. At that time, he prayed to God or to anyone that was listening to help him get back to her, to see her one more time and tell her how much he loves her. Yes, tonight Jet was happy since he would be heading to New York by the end of the week.

A sudden voice made Jet to look up to the door of his room and see a familiar grin. "So you are really going to settle down and start a family now, huh?" Albert said. "Huh?" the American answered with a puzzled face. "Oh, come on, you always have that stupid face whenever you are thinking about Caty. Am I wrong?"

Albert's grin grew wider when he realized that Jet was blushing even further. "That's none of your business you ass!" Jet answered with an angry voice and then looked down to his suitcase and continued with a lower tone "And what if I want to settle down and be normal huh? I'm just sick and tired of fighting over and over again to save this world. I deserve some peace and happiness you know?"

Jet looked up and saw Albert's eyes wide in surprise. The German thought that Jet was the only member of the team that would have troubles settling down with a peaceful life. It was well known among the team members that Jet had some anger issues and he loved to fight at any chance he got. He was happy that his friend was willing to exchange the warrior life for a normal one.

"Nah, nothing wrong with that. Just remember to keep in touch and come back to Gilmore for routine check-ups." the German said as he turned on his heels to head out of the door, but before he was out of Jet sight, he looked over his right shoulder "I'm really glad that we will only worry about setting a day and place to get together once or twice a year. It's nice to know we will live peacefully now". With that, Albert made his way out of Jet's room and into his own. "Yeah, peacefully" said Jet to himself Caty, Jimmy, I'll be there soon thought Jet and smiled.

The house was quite. Everyone was sleeping now and even Albert was having a good dream remembering the good times he spent with Hilda. He would usually spend the night with close to no sleep at all by worrying that they might be attacked at night.

Also, the nightmares about that day kept him awake, the day he lost the love of his life and was transformed into a cyborg. But even he was at ease now. They all knew they won for good. There's no need to spend the night awake or fearful of something that will not be happening. Not to them, not right now and not ever again. They won; they got the right to sleep peacefully.

Joe's dream was an interesting one. He usually dreamt about the previous fights or about the good times with his fellow cyborgs, but this time it was a dream that seem too familiar.

It was all pitch black, not one dim of light could be seen, but a voice, he could hear a voice. But, what was the voice saying? To whom it belonged to? He vaguely seemed to remember that voice, but when had he heard that? And the voice was repeating something over and over again. What was it?

Joe suddenly started to understand what it was saying.

The power that comes from my ancestors shall be used for good. I don't own this power but was borrowed to me. Until the day I die I shall protect those in need even by giving up my own life. I shall be wise to where I use it and to whom I trust my power to. This is my curse and my blessing for I embed the power of Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi.

This was repeating over and over again. What does it mean?

The voice, he recognized the voice now.

A dim line of light started to appear, as if he was opening his eyes. He then could see everything, it was nighttime and there was snow falling on the street. He could barely distinguish a familiar building, a church, the church he grew up in. What was he doing here?

Then, he felt as if someone was sheltering him from the cold, that person had warm hands and was the owner of the voice. She was carrying him in her arms while walking toward the church.

Joe looked up and saw one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen in his life. Her hair was black and long, she had skin as white as the snow that was falling around them, and her eyes, crimson red as his own. She had a tired look in her face but still looked at him with tender and kind eyes but embed with sorrow, like if she was assuring him that everything would be alright and asking for his forgiveness at the same time.

What was happening? The voice started again

You'll be alright my baby. I'm sorry for the burden you'll have to carry now. I wish that you didn't had to go through this, but there's no choice. Remember, be kind and wise my dear Joe.

So that's Chapter 1. Hope you like it with a little mystery in the end. Please bear with me until Chapter 3! I'm sure you will not regret it! Review please :D Btw, the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi is a real thing, you can google it but still I will explain everything in the story, so there's no need for you to google it. Besides, it would ruin the little mystery I'm setting in this chapter.

On to the next one!
