I don't own Cyborg 009, this is a fanfiction only.

The world that most people live on hides something from the ordinary citizen, most people believe that the world has hundreds of independent and sovereign nations and they are the ones that keep their people safe, in part that is true to some extent I have to admit that.

The part that most people don't know is that when the armies of the world can't take care of something, simply because it's either too big or too tough for them, that is when the hidden governments of the world come and take care of things.

In the world I live in there are five nations and each is ruled by a single man, a man we call a the shadow of our nation. I live in one of the villages in the nation we call the Fire Nation, my village is called the Village Hidden in Edo. As to who I am? My name is Joe Shimimura, and I am a ninja.

I know what you are probably thinking, ninja? In this day and age? I must be out of my mind. Well in truth we actually work in every day jobs, and we earn a living that way, but when the Hokage calls, we ninja of the Fire Nation come together and fight to defend it. It is not easy fighting against an enemy that threatens an entire continent.

My job during as I call, peace time, is being the assistant to a priest who just happens to run an orphanage. I am quite happy taking care of the kids, and the kids love to play the same games I did when I was their age.

The real job was with this games if I found kids that were qualified to become ninja, I would report it, and in a matter of days that kid would be adopted. What is the qualification you ask? We ninja can harness an energy most people consider a fairy tale, but it's real. We can join the spiritual energy that we gain from learning, with the physical one we gain from training to create this energy we call Chakra.

I always found it amazing that a simple ninja, could do the work of dozens of men simply because we had our techniques and we could use this energy. A ninja using this energy could heal the wounded, take down building, control the elements themselves, and even walk on water.

I often hear rumors that in the Wind Nation there is even a ninja that could even fly. The Shimimura Clan was a family of ninjas, and they were often the reason why most people never even met an alien in their lives.

You see when some alien species tries to invade our humble little Earth, the Five Kages send their best ninja to take care of the invasion. Most of the time the poor aliens don't have a clue what is happening.

My clan takes care of things using stealth, strength and brutal precision, which in turn made it into one of the elite clans of the Elemental Nations. Sadly the Shiminura Clan is now reduced to a single member, that is me.

How could an elite force that could fight off alien invasions be reduced to a single person you ask? It is quite simple, our enemy didn't come from outside, it came from within. Specifically it was my own father. He often complained with the Kage about not using the knowledge of our clan to make ourselves wealthy. That we shouldn't have to take jobs so ordinary.

The Kage in his wisdom often told my father that we remain in the shadows, so that the enemies of our nation, and our world would never see us coming. I was going to the orphanage one day and the strangest thing happened. The smell coming from the orphanage was not something I would often smell, it was of smoke and blood.

Knowing that this was not something ordinary I decided to pump chakra through my legs, and run towards the place. It could be a fire, or an explosion. As soon as I got there I was shocked to see the kindly old priest bleeding from a sword inflicted wound.

"Joe you must find and make the person who killed your clan pay for what he did to your clan and to our nation. This place can no longer be your safe haven. I am sorry to send you to fight against him, but as your Kage I give you this my final order."

He handed me a blood soaked scroll and upon it I read the truth that my clan had been poisoned and the only reason I survived was because I simply didn't attend the clan celebration father was planning. The traitor was my own father, and the kindly priest had been the Hokage this entire time and I never even suspected it.

"By your command Hokage, your last order shall be carried out. I have to say it is a real shock to see the skills of our Kage. You had me fooled completely, I thought you were just a priest from the Rock Nation, who knew I was working alongside our Hokage. Rest in peace old man, I shall take care of things."

With a wind technique I put the fires out, and began the painful, and sad task of burying the dead. Dozens of children who I knew and played with, my leader, and a nurse that I actually was working up my courage to ask her to be my girlfriend. You can't imagine the pain I was feeling, and the tears simply would not stop flowing from my eyes.

As I buried the last of the dead I heard several cars stop outside the cemetery plot of the now destroyed orphanage. "Joe Shimimura, you are under arrest for arson and the murder of three dozen children and old father Vincent. How could you do that Joe? How heartless can a man be?"

The police were probably either jumping to conclusion, or the traitor had paid them off to make me a scapegoat. Surrender was not an option, I understood that even if did surrender, the traitor would do everything in his power to make sure I was declared guilty, and that was a death sentence. I was not going to fail the Hokage's final order to my clan.

I began to run away, the idiot police officers had no fault in what they were doing, the one at fault was my own father. I needed to escape, try and track down the traitor. The thing was that the police saw my escape as clear signs of my guilt, and so they sent everything they had against me.

I ran hard and fast through the streets until I was finally cornered to a small cliff that was a popular dating spot, to think I would be trapped in the single spot where I was going to ask Ayami to be my girlfriend. Life sure is ironic sometimes.

"There is no place to run, surrender or we will open fire. This is your last chance Shimimura!"

Failure was not an option, so I did the only thing I could I jumped off the cliff and tried to dive into the ocean, if I could make it to another village in another of the Elemental Nations I could explain to their Kage what had happened. That was the plan, but plans don't often work the way we make them now do they?

'Wake up! You need to wake up!' Who wouldn't wake up after hearing a person shout like that, I slowly got up from what looked to be an operating table. Operating table, wait what am I doing wearing this strange uniform? Where the hell am I?

'There is no time to explain that, you need to jump up, and escape. Your life is in danger.' Why did I keep hearing that voice and where was it coming from, I was alone in this freaking looking room.

"Look I don't even know who you are, why should I trust you? Where are you? Why can I listen to your voice?" That is when I felt something being pumped into the room, it looked like a gray smoke, almost the same that appeared when a shadow clone is made.

'Gas, you need to get out of there! Jump or kiss your life goodbye! Do you want to fail your grandfather's order?' No time to argue and no time to think about what this strange voice in my head was saying I jumped up and somehow jumped hundreds of feet up and through a heavy reinforced observation ceiling.

'What the hell? I didn't even use chakra and I did this?' That is when I saw the three massive robots. "GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM!" one of the robots said to me. It was clearly just repeating the order it was given, but it still upset me to be told that.

As the robot tried to grab me, I took hold of his wrist and it felt like porcelain to me as I crushed it to pieces. 'I was always strong but this?' I quickly turned around and decided to punch my way out of this mess, I quickly destroyed the three robots, which was surprising since I didn't use any chakra at all.

'Look get out that door in front of you, and there should be an air duct on the ceiling in the corridor. You can make your escape if you follow that air duct. I know you are confused but I shall explain things once you are out of danger.'

Might as well listen to this strange voice, I don't know where I am, but he must know if he is giving me directions.

As soon as I walked out I saw an entire platoon of soldiers waiting for me. 'Or this voice is an enemy and I was dumb enough to fall for an obvious ambush.' I fought my way through knocking every one of the idiot soldiers out, I mean if three police robots weren't a challenge for me, these guys were plain stupid to fight me.

I saw the air duct and jumped into it. I followed it almost expecting something wrong to happen, and sure enough I came out to the exhaust port of a furnace it seems. Just as I began to run up the walls a great big gush of heated air pushed me all the way outside.

'Escaped Cyborg, Capture but do not damage commander!' I saw several dozen tanks rolling my way. I couldn't understand why was I hearing this? It was almost like I could listen to the orders the tanks were getting, but that was impossible.

'You are hearing the transmissions from the onboard radio transmitters in those tanks. It's because your ear have not finished calibrating yet, and before you say anything I am not an enemy, and I am talking to you through telepathy.'

'You need to get away from them, or they will kill you. Not being damaged does not mean they will not end your life, trust me, there are fates worse than death.'

I began to run away yet again but then I realized something, might as well as try a fire technique and maybe this will get through whoever is sending these idiots after me. With a single hand sign I took a deep breath and when I exhaled a large stream of fire came out of my mouth, It burned the treads of the tanks to a molten sludge.

Using chakra I decided to rip the top off one of the tanks and looked at the very frightened soldier inside. "You will leave me alone or else!" The idiot pointed a gun at me, guess some people never learn.

That is when I felt something and I saw one of the disabled tanks point at the tank I was standing on. I took the idiot soldier with me as I jumped barely escaping the explosion as the tank exploded, This is nuts, they are willing to kill their own people. I need to get out of here or else this place will end up being a bloodbath.

I used chakra in my legs and I began to follow the strange voice in my head, now that I think of it, I almost sound insane thinking about following a disembodied voice in my own head. I didn't know where I was, so might as well, the voice at least should know where I am.
