Ww11- Hi there again. I decided to write another chapter despite the lack of reviews sobs loudly. Hopefully this one will pique your interest. And don't worry, it will be much longer.
Disclaimer: I don't own Cyborg 009. another loud sob
Here's a list of the Cyborgs just in case you're confused as to who's who.
001 Ivan Whisky- Russian infant cyborg with telepathic powers.
002 Jet Link- American cyborg who can fly using his jets in his feet.
003 Francoise Arnoul-French female cyborg who has superhuman sight and hearing.
004 Albert Heinrich-German cyborg who is basically a walking arsenal with rockets in both knees and a machine gun hand.
005 G. Junior-Native American cyborg who is very tall and has superhuman strength.
006 Chang-Changku-Chinese cyborg who can shoot flames from his mouth. He is also a very good cook.
007 Great Britain (G.B.)-British cyborg who can shapeshift into anything he wants.
008 Pyunma-African cyborg who can swim and breath underwater like a fish.
009 Joe Shimamura-Half Japanese cyborg with an accelerator mode. (He moves really fast.)
"Cyborg 009"- talking
'Cyborg 009'- thinking
::Cyborg 009:: - 001 talking
It felt as if she had been asleep for a year.
'No mom. Not yet. Let me sleep for awhile longer,' she thought.
She kept her eyes shut but the sounds of the outside world began to filter into her ears.
"Will she be okay doctor?" softly asked an unfamiliar voice. It sounded as if the speaker was really worried.
"Humph. Why should we even care? It's not like she asked us to save her or anything," came a retort that sounded very cold.
"How could you even say a thing like that 002?" scolded a female voice. "She was captured by Black Ghost. We had to save her." The voice suddenly softened. "We had no other choice."
"Besides, we don't even know what Black Ghost was planning to do with her," stated a calm, smooth voice. She liked that voice. "Like 003 said, we couldn't have just left her there to be tortured and controlled."
'Again with those numbers,' she thought. 'What's up with that?'
"I still think that was a waste of time for us to rescue her," It was the cold voice again. "I mean, she hasn't even moved since we found her. She could be dead for all we know."
"No not really. She is alive but she needs her rest. You should all leave now. Your concern touches me but your noise my wake her." This was the voice of an older gentleman. He sounded professional.
"You're right Dr. Gilmore. Let's go guys," said the soft voice.
"And girl," the female voice chimed in.
The sound of a sliding door was heard and the owners of the voices left the room. Everything was quiet.
'What a weird dream' she thought. 'Oh well. I guess I better get up or I'll miss the school bus.
She opened her eyes. The sight that greeted her was nothing even close to her bedroom. Then it all came flooding back to her in a rush of images in her mind. She was going home on her quad but she fell. Somewhere. Then she was awake in a lab of some sort. There she heard some crazy talk about experiments and 00 Cyborgs. Wait. 00 Cyborgs?
Flashback"How could you even say a thing like that 002?"
"Like 003 said…
End Flashback'Could these people that were just in the room be the 00 Cyborgs who those announcements were about?' she wondered.
She sat up with a little difficulty and looked around to examine her newest surroundings. The room she was in resembled the last one. Big and white. But not as big. The major difference was that there were computers and monitors and beds and other objects of furniture. It made the room seem more like a hospital of some sort instead of just a lab.
'This must be the 00 Cyborg peoples base,' she thought.
"You're finally awake."
"Aaahh! Oh goodness. Don't scare me like thaaat," she whined.
"You're looking much better. How do you feel?" the calm voice from earlier asked.
"I'm fine," he replied as she turned to look at the owner of the voice she liked so much. "Are you people the 00 Cy…"she trailed off as she finally saw whom the voice belonged to.
She found herself looking into the serene blue eyes of a man with gray hair wearing a red uniform with four large, yellow buttons, black knee high boots and a yellow scarf that came down to his ankles.
"I guess I'll have to tell the others the good news," he said.
"What good news?" she asked.
"The news that you're awake," he said matter-of-factly as he started to leave. "Oh and yes we are the 00 Cyborgs. You can just call me 004 for now. You wait here and I'll bring the others in to introduce themselves." And with that he left her alone.
"Wow. This is so weird," she said out loud. 'What does he mean by I look better. Why would I look bad.' she then though to herself.
With that she began to examine herself. To her great surprise she found that she was wearing the exact same uniform as 004 was. Her sleeves were rolled up to reveal a bandage on each forearm and she could feel two more on each shin and one across her stomach.
'Oh. So that's what he meant.'
The sliding door to the room suddenly whooshed open and nine people entered the room.
"Thank goodness you're awake!" A blonde female with aqua blue eyes came forward. "We were all worried sick that you weren't going to be alright."
"Not me," said a young man with spiky orange hair and an unusually long nose.
"002!" exclaimed the blond woman.
"But it is nice to see you're okay," he hastily added. "Anyway, what's your real name?"
"My real name? Uh, my real name is Courtney Connor. Why what's my fake name?"
"It's not really your fake name. It's your code name," explained 004.
"What is it though?" Courtney asked.
"It's 0016," said a short, bearded man holding a blue-haired baby. He was the only person in the room who was not dressed in a red uniform.
"0016?! Does that mean I'm a 00 Cyborg too?!" cried Courtney.
"Yes, I'm afraid so," replied the older man. "We failed to reach you before Black Ghost changed you into a cyborg."
'So now I'm a cyborg. Huh, imagine that,' thought Courtney.
"So what will happen to me now?" 0016 asked.
"We'll take care of you until we finally defeat Black Ghost and free us all from his vengeance," said the soft voice she heard before. It belonged to a young man with brown hair that covered one of his crimson eyes.
"But I want to go home," whined 0016.
"You can't. It's not safe. You were discovered and now Black Ghost wants you back," stated the orange haired man, otherwise known as 002.
"Who is this Black Ghost and why is he after me?" asked 0016.
"Black Ghost is a weapons dealer and he wants to create global war. You are probably his latest Cyborg model and he wants his creation back," said a young African man with white hair.
"Oh my. This is all so sudden. My head hurts now," complained 0016.
"You aren't fully recovered yet. You need rest," a giant of a man said softly. "We'll leave you alone now."
"Wait. Before you go can you all tell me your names?" asked 0016.
"Sure. My name is 003," said the blonde woman. "He's Dr. Gilmore. He's not a cyborg like us. And that's 001," she said nodding towards the baby in the doctors arms.
"My name is 009 said the red eyed man next to her.
"I'm known as the great 007," said the bald cyborg from the back.
"Whatever. I'm 008," said the African man.
"I'm 005," said the giant man with the mohawk.
"You already know me," said 004. "006 is in the kitchen and that hothead over there is 002," he said as he looked at 002.
"I heard that," said 002 as he looked up.
With a loud curse, 002 chased 004 out of the room.
"I guess we'll leave now. We'll let you know when dinner's ready," said 009 as they started to leave. As soon as he put his foot out the door the room shook violently as an explosion occurred outside.
::Everyone hurry outside. We are under attack by one of Black Ghost's creations.:: exclaimed a now wide awake 001. ::They've come for 0016!::
The action starts now. Sorry it took longer than expected to get there. Chapter 3 should also be up very soon.
Thanks to Black Wolf Meleny for the first review.
