Cybersix

Chapter 1: 'You're Alive!'

While Lucas turned into an alley between 2 large buildings, all he could think about is Cybersix. Everything happened so fast. His friend, and fellow teacher, Adrian Seidelman, was his love Cybersix. A Cyber clone. A female. He remembered when he and a student, Lori, drove and his motorcycle and saw a laboratory explode before their eyes. Cybersix and Data 7 were still inside.

Looking up from the ground. Lucas saw the apartment were Cybersix/Adrian lived. And, there was something in the window. A light! A light was on. When he saw it, Lucas broke into a run and ran for the elevator.

"Come on, come on!" said Lucas impatiently. He turned and ran up the stairs

He ripped open the door and saw someone on the bed. Data 7.

"What are you doing here?" asked Lucas as he grabbed Data 7's head. "Where—where's Cybersix?"

Data 7 growled softly and leaped off the bed and headed for the window.

"Go wait for on the building directly across from the apartment. I'll be down," instructed Lucas as he left.

As he disappeared, Data 7 walked up to the door. He rose on his hind legs and put one of his black paw on the wall. He flicked his head up and turned the light off. He followed Lucas' instructions. He jumped out the window and onto the building Lucas pointed out. Seconds later, Lucas ran out of the doors. Data 7 jumped from building to building as Lucas ran on foot. Data 7 constantly waited for him to catch up, until Lucas noticed a bike up ahead.

"Here's 20 bucks!" he yelled as he handed 20 dollars to a young boy; who owned the bike.

Lucas leaped on it and continually followed Data 7. After 10 minutes, they reached the same cliff where Lucas and Lori were. Out, Lucas and Data 7 saw a crashed building. Data 7 growled; saying something like 'This is it. She's here'.

"She's there?" questioned Lucas.

Data 7 nodded.

"But, how? How did you get out? It hasn't even been too long. Is she still alive?"

Data 7 blinked.

"Yeah, I know. You can't talk." Once more he looked out. Dusk was appearing. "Let's go".

They turned around and turned when the first one came into sight. They headed down hill for a bit. It was good for Lucas, though; Data 7 struggled to keep up. They rounded a corner, and there it was. Up close. A completely destroyed building. A laboratory.

Lucas dropped the bike and ran towards it. Data 7 followed. The moonlight glistened off his thick glossy black coat. A light wind blew Lucas' hair and data 7's fur. Something about the wind caught Data 7's attention. Like a scent of some sort. He bit on Lucas' jeans and tugged.

"Huh? What is it?"

Data 7 tugged to the right. They walked slowly towards a pile of dirt, metal and rock. A small hole—the size of a 3 month of baby—was also there. Data 7 walked up and laid his body down. He growled softly into the hole. Lucas knelt down to see if it was her. A hand with a black glove on it came out. It was covered in dirt and it had cuts and bruises on it. Data 7 licked it and nuzzled up against it.

"Cybersix!" yelled Lucas in relief.

Data 7 shifted off to the side so Lucas could see her. He grabbed her hand and put it between his.

"C-Cybersix…it's me…Lucas," said Lucas softly.

A soft female voice answered. So soft, like a whisper, and scratchy. "Lucas? Is it really you?"

"Yes, yes. It is".

"I'm so happy you're here."

"I knew you couldn't die. You're to strong for that."

A soft laugh. "José, he's still here."

"If it weren't for him, you…"

"No. he betrayed his father in the end. Everything is different now. He might have…"

"Save your breath. I have to get you out."

Lucas got up off the ground and put his hands on the top of the hole. He started to lift, but the metal and boulder on top of her was too heavy. Data 7 started growling angrily. Lucas put the metal and rock down and spun.

"What is it?" he asked.

Data 7, still growling, stood completely still and faced the dark forest. Out of the darkness, a figure formed, from the shin of the moonlight.

"Who is that! Who's there!" yelled Lucas.

Cybersix squinted her eyes to see who it was. As the moonlight made the figure more visible, she knew who it was.

"I mean you no harm," answered the person. Obviously a female. She looked almost identical to Cybersix. Like Cybersix, she had her hair flipped in front of her face, but she had red highlights in her hair. Though, she did have the same eyes as Cybersix, and the same black leather suit. But her cape was black and blue; unlike Cybersix's which was black and red. Followed behind her was a cat; like Data 7. It was a black panther, but it had midnight blue eyes, thought Data 7 had glowing yellow eyes.

"Who are you?" asked Lucas.

"I am Cyberseven. And this is my brother, Data 6," answered Cyberseven.

"You look just like Cybersix."

"I was also created by Von Reichter. I was created after Cybersix. After she escaped, Von Reichter destroyed all of the cyber clones, I escaped. Cybersix and I have almost the same life history. Data 6 was once human. Though, unlike how Cyber-29turned into Data 7 by falling off a cliff, Data 6 died by falling into a river. And, like Data 7, Von Reichter put his brain into the body of a black panther. And Data 6 was once my enemy. When we realized we were family, it was when I was trying to find Cybersix and Data 7".

"I knew who you were," answered Cybersix. "My sister."

"C-Cybersix! What happened?" yelled Cyberseven as she ran up to the opening.

"A few nights ago, she and Data 7 fought Von Reichter. Then the laboratory exploded," said Lucas. "With Cybersix, Data 7, and Von Reichter inside."

"Good, that he's gone," said Cyberseven.

Data 6 and Data 7 were inspecting each other to make sure they were who they were.

"We need to get you out," said Cyberseven. She looked from Cybersix to Lucas. He nodded.

"Data 7, Data 6. When we lift this up, we need you to help Cybersix out," explained Lucas.

Cyberseven and Lucas lifted the metal and the other materials high enough for Data 7 and Data 6 to slide in and pull Cybersix out. They let the materials go and they crashed. Her outfit was covered in dirt and mud, along with her skin. Data 7 laid down beside her as Lucas ran up. Cyberseven and Data 6 stood behind them.

"Cybersix, Cybersix, are you okay?" asked Lucas and he held her hand with the other on her check.

"Yes, I'm fine…now," answered Cybersix.

She sat up and scratched Data 7's head. She looked up at Lucas and smiled, then hugged him. She squeezed hard, So happy to be with him. Cyberseven smiled.

"Thank you," whispered Cybersix. She let go and stood up.

"You always bounce back fast," smiled Lucas.

"Why do you want me?" asked Cybersix and she looked at Cyberseven.

"I wanted to see you again. The only ones still living are you and I. You are the only one I remember. The others, they're gone," replied Cyberseven.

Cybersix smiled. "Well, I am here. And if you want to get to know me, I have a different life than others. José is still out there. Living by his own rules," she looked at Lucas, "and we have to take care of him."

"You won't have to find me!" yelled a voice from above. José. There he was. On the cliff. With his Frankenstein monsters.

"José!" yelled Cybersix, followed by a roar from Data 7.

"You're in no condition to fight," whispered Lucas.

"Part of why I ever came to Meridana, was to stop José and Von Reichter, and I have one left to go. I came to stop them, no matter what," answered Cybersix, without making eye contact.

The monsters jumped down to the stop where they were. One held José. He bounced off and walked his funny, stupid walk, towards Cybersix.

"Father sure messed you up!" laughed José.

"Your father did nothing but destroy! I did this to myself. To protect others. And I's never regret it," said Cybersix, holding her arm, as it glowed green, and then it faded.

"Well, if you can fight. Bring it!" yelled José.

Lucas, Cybersix, Cyberseven, Data 7, and Data6 all prepared themselves as the monsters ran to them.
