Ww11- I think I better get to the fic before I cry again.
For a list of who's who see chapter 2.
"Cyborg 009"- talking
'Cyborg 009'- thinking
::Cyborg 009::- 001 talking
004 winced as he tried to sit up and see if she was all right. But he knew it was useless. He couldn't feel her body move with any sort of breathing and she felt cold already. He opened his eyes and saw her body was covered in a shiny substance that was probably blood in the reflection of the setting sun. His ears were greeted with the evil laughter of 0015.
'Oh no!' thought 004. 'She's dead and it's all my fault!'
"Foolish Cyborg traitors. I can't believe you thought you could overcome Black Ghost. It is as laughable as that idiotic 0016 trying to save your worthless lives. She ended up killing herself. Hahahahaha! Your efforts make me laugh. Now join your comrade in hell!" 0015 screamed and launched another attack at 004 and 006.
"Who said I was dead," came a raspy response.
With that the body of 0016 began to rise. 004 gasped in amazement at what he saw. 0016's body was completely covered from the tip of her hair to the bottom of her toes in thick metal plates. They were smoothly connected to give them a liquidy look. They did not creak or rattle as she slowly stood to her feet. I seemed as if her skin was replace with this metal armor. The bandages that were previously wrapped around her arms, legs and chest had ripped and fallen to the ground.
With her yellow eyes (which was the only thing not covered in her armor) shining in what appeared to be anger, 0016 bent down to her knee and grasped the spike which had entered above her kneecap and driven itself straight down her calf with both hands. The entire time, the incoming barrage from 0015 was bouncing off of her shining body.
"Utterly astounding," Gilmore managed to say after he picked his jaw up off the floor where it fell in his amazement.
::Yes. 0016's power is quite incredible. She managed to morph before the spike hit her back. It simply bounced off her armor. Unfortunately, she did not transform fast enough. While she was running another spike hit her leg.::
"You're right 001,"said 003. "But she seems to be okay. Her armor just surrounds that injured area."
With a stifled gasp, 0016 ripped the spike from her knee with incredible force. It flew from her hands and landed in the ground behind her. Her knee bled profusely for a moment and like magic the armor sealed up the hole in her leg.
"0016. You're, you're okay!" sighed 002.
"Yeah. I'll be fine. Right after I take care of this piece of crap who attacked us in the first place," 0016 answered back.
With a grimace on her face that told everyone she still felt the damage from the spike she turned around and walked over to the bloody spike she wrenched from her wound. There she hefted the large weapon onto her shoulders and placed her hands around it like she was holding a harpoon.
She looked at 009 and whispered, "On my signal fire your blaster at 0015. I'll take it from there."
009 nodded.
"All right you bastard." She was clearly pissed. "I don't know why Black Ghost wants me back, but I like it here with 002 and 004 and the others. You will not get away with hurting them when all you want is me." She signaled to 009.
009 fired his blaster. 0015 saw his shot and started to spin to block the blast. At that exact moment 0016 jumped and accelerated in the same direction and traveled at the same speed as 0015 spun. She could now aim at a blank spot on 0015 since 0015 was not spinning fast enough to create its shield.
"Enjoy your new life in hell!" and with that she whipped the spike with both hands straight at 0015. It hit perfectly in the middle of 0015 in a blank spot. The projectile shot cleanly through 0015 and came flying out the other side. 0015 screamed as black blood mixed with oil poured out of the two punctures.
0015 screamed once more and cracked from hole to hole and split into two halves and exploded sending shrapnel everywhere. 0016 accelerated and grabbed 002 and laid him down next to 004 and 006. She shielded them all from the burning shards of 0015. Once the fire storm was over, 0016 finally let down her metal armor. She dropped to her knees, completely exhausted from using her newfound power. Her wound started to bleed once again and she smiled grimly.
She looked at 004 and smiled. "Glad to see you're still alive." Then she looked at 009. "See I told you I could take care of myself." And with that she fainted.
002 staggered to his feet and walked to where 0016 lay and picked her up.
"002, I think you should let me carry her," offered 009.
"Nah, I'll be okay," said 002 and he flew off towards the house.
008 finally managed to free himself and immediately went to 005's side to try to bring him around. 009 helped 006 free his foot and picked up 004 and assisted him back to the house.
0016's eyes slowly fluttered open to find the worried gaze of 002 looking down at her. As she tried to sit up he held her down.
"Take it easy there kid," he warned. "You completely exhausted yourself out there. You need rest."
"But I feel fine," she said and managed to sit up finally to feel a throbbing pain flood into her leg. "Ow. Heh. I did feel fine," 0016 commented as she reluctantly let herself be laid back down by 002.
"'Was' being the key word," 002 said.
"Oh but how is 004? He was hurt, is he all right?"
"Yes I'm fine," came the reply as 004 walked into the room with his arm in a sling. "Thanks to you of course. I acted really stupidly out there," he said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck with his left hand. "It's all my fault you got hurt. I'm sorry."
"No stop apologizing. I'll be fine. In fact, I think you helped in a way. I may have never known what my cyborg power was unless I had to really need it, and I did need it," replied 0016.
"Well, get some rest. If you promise to do that for me I think I can convince the good doctor to let you get up and move around tomorrow. Do we have a deal?" 004 asked.
"Sure," said 0016.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then," said 002 with a smile and he shut the door behind him.
0016 then fell into a comfortable dreamless sleep. She felt relieved at the fact that everyone was okay. She knew these people really cared for her. She could feel it in her heart that there was no way any Black Ghost creation could ever defeat them.
Well, that's it for this chapter. I'm thinking about having 0016 have something to do with either 002 or 004. In your review could you vote for one of the two Cyborgs mentioned above as a boyfriend for 0016. (Too bad 009 is taken.) As always suggestions are very welcome. I'm at a stand still now. Darn writer's block. I'll try hard to update quickly.
