At Black Eden, KAAR had just arrived with the new recruits. Dr. X was there to greet his new comrades.
"Welcome and thank you for accepting my offer to join the Darstar Council. It is here that we will make the Earth greater under our leadership. Some of you are brilliant and unique, but the the rest of the world shuns you for your talents and abilities. One of you was discarded and forgotten by someone you used to trust and the rest of you are brilliantly made machines, but your talents and skills were wasted, but no more! Here you will be treated as equals with the respect you deserve and your talents will be used to their full potential. We are the future of the world and none shall stand in our way." Said Dr. X.
The assembled recruits cheered at this feeling hyped by the speech. The forces of the Darkstar Council had been replenished.
In Samantha's old room Bell was sleeping in the cyborg's old sleep pod with a pillow and blanket. The super powered girl was having a bit of a nightmare. She dreamed that she was back in the government lab, where she and Samantha battled Buttercup and Blossom. Bell stood over the prone form of Samantha, who had a sword stabbed into her chest. Samantha glared up at Bell.
"You...murdered me, you...traitor!" Snarled Samantha as she struggled to get up.
Bell backed away eyes wide with fear as blood and oil began to pour out of the stab wound on Samantha.
"Stay away!" Cried Bell in a panic as she fired an energy blast at Samantha.
The blast missed the cyborg and hit some of the oil that had leaked onto the ground. The oil caught fire and it spread up to Samantha setting her on fire. The cyborg let out an enraged snarl as she began to lumber at Bell, with her body on fire!
Bell screamed and woke up to find herself strapped into the pod by heavy restraints. A drop of liquid hit her forehead and she looked up to see Samantha standing over, her with a sword that dripped red and black liquid. It was the same sword that Bell had stabbed and killed Samantha with. Samantha starred down at Bell with hate filled eyes.
"You stabbed me and killed me! Now it's my turn to do it to you, you brat!" Yelled Samantha as she raised the sword up high to stab Bell!
Bell screamed as the sword raced down towards her and then she woke up in the real world breathing hard and drenched in sweat.
"It seems your conscience is bothering you with nightmares." Said a voice.
Bell swung her head to see Naga leaning against a wall.
"What do...you mean?" Asked Bell.
"You killed someone, who was a step sibling and a comrade of yours and now your conscience is kicking in. Your starting to feel guilty for your actions." Said Naga as he gave Bell a stern look.
"Samantha...and I weren't that close." Said Bell.
"Perhaps no as close as some siblings, but you were close enough that her death, has an impact on your life. Samantha was a part of your life no matter how you look at it and now your haunted by what you did. There's blood on your hands Bell and that's not something your conscience is going to let you forget." Said Naga.
Bell starred at the ground, her hands trembled as the images of her nightmares flashed through her mind. When she looked up Naga was no where to be seen.
"Calm...down. Samantha is gone and she isn't coming back." Said Bell as she took a deep breath.
At the remains of Mandark's lab, Samantha was using a bunch of rocks as target practice. Olga walked into the lab carrying her backpack and a bundle of flowers.
"What's with the flowers?" Asked Samantha as she turned her blasters back into hands.
"Oh...I'm going to visit a friend's grave and put some flowers on it." Said Olga.
Samantha starred at the flowers and began to think of something she hadn't thought of in a long time. Visiting graves of her friends and family. Samantha hadn't visited them in quit some time.
"Hey can I take some of those flowers? There's something I need them for." Said Samantha.
"Sure." Said Olga as she handed Samantha a handful of flowers.
"Thanks." Said Samantha.
"Your welcome." Said Olga as she grabbed a few tools from a work bench and prepared to leave.
"Hey...Olga...I'm sorry about what happened at...the water treatment facility." Said Samantha.
"It's...ok. I don't want us to fight with each and I don't want you to kill anyone, except...maybe Bell." Said Olga.
"I know, but as someone who used to work with villains I know what they're capable of. I've been a hero for a short time and it's got me thinking, how long are the other heroes of the world going to keep playing nice with the villains? They beat the villains, they throw them in jail, and then the villains breakout or something and it starts all over again. It's a cycle that repeats itself and its only a matter of time, until some crazy psycho actually succeeds in their plan and a bunch of innocent people are dead. The heroes could have prevent that from happening by eliminating their enemies in the first place. Are the heroes really solving anything, or are they just simply prolonging the inevitable?" Said Samantha.
"I...honestly don't know. I want to believe the heroes are doing the right thing by not killing their enemies." Said Olga as she headed out.
Samantha grabbed her Scarlet Cat mask placed it over her face and put on a jacket with a big hoodie before leaving the lab herself. The cyborg made her way back towards her old home city using her super speed.
Olga arrived at the Megaville cemetery and made her way to Dee Dee's grave. The girl looked down at the grave sadly and placed the flowers before it.
"I just...want to say I'm sorry for what my brother did to you. Despite our little rivalry back in ballet I respected you and I liked you as a friend. You were a good person Dee and you didn't deserve to die." Said Olga.
It was then that Blossom walked up next to Olga and she placed some flowers before the grave.
"Hey Olga." Said Blossom.
"Hey." Said Olga.
"Dexter told me you plan to go after Bell, because she was the one that convinced your brother to seek revenge on Dexter for what happened to Dee Dee. He also suspects your working with Samantha and you know where she is." Said Blossom.
"I might, but I'm not going to tell you anything." Said Olga sharply.
"Look I know your angry at Bell and you want revenge for what she did, but she's dangerous and killing her isn't the right thing to do. You need to tell me where Samantha is so we can get her some help. She's unstable and dangerous." Said Blossom.
"I'm stronger then you think and what would you have done about Bell? She's as strong as you and your sisters and there's not a prison built that can hold someone with her power. Bell is a monster and she needs to be taken down. As for Samantha, she's a lot more stable then you think. Samantha has been fighting crime and putting bad guys away. She can be a bit extreme and violent, but I'm helping her and making sure she doesn't go over the edge." Said Olga.
"Olga this is serious. Your putting your life in danger. Just please let me and the others help. At least bring Samantha in to us. She might be the key in telling us what's been going on lately." Said Blossom.
"Fine...I'll see if I can convince Samantha to see you and the others. She trust me, so maybe I can get her to trust all of you, but it'll take some time." Said Olga with a sigh.
"Fine, but if anything goes wrong call me." Said Blossom.
"Alright." Said Olga as she turned to walk away.
Samantha arrived at her old home city after a few hours of running and made her way to the cemetery. The city had been repaired after the Kilobot incident and new people were living there now. Samantha entered the cemetery and made her way to the memorial that had all the names of those who had lost. The cemetery was deserted and that was fine by Samantha. The cyborg placed the flowers before the memorial.
"Mom. Dad. Ikki. Erika. Spyke. Solan. It's...me. Samantha...though I guess none of you would recognize me if you saw me now. Sorry I haven't visited you in a while, my...life's been one crazy mess. I don't know what to do. I...miss all of you every day." Said Samantha.
It was then that Nora and Weasel walked into the cemetery and headed towards the memorial and Samantha.
"I knew you come here eventually." Said Nora.
"Oh great it's you." Growled Samantha.
"Samantha, please listen to what I have to say. You are in incredible danger. Brisbaine is working on something dangerous and your somehow a key part to it. Whatever it is could endanger the whole world as we know. We need to take you someplace safe and hide you, until we know exactly what Brisbaine is up to." Said Weasel.
"Let him come, I'll deal with him and all his flunkies. Now if you'll excuse me I have better things to do with my life." Said Samantha as she prepared to storm off.
"You can't just walk away from this. You need to come with us." Said Nora.
Samantha turned to face Nora.
"Your a scientist and a former member of Skyway Patrol right?" Asked Samantha.
"I am." Said Nora.
"Well then tell me, why you didn't or Skyway Patrol see what was going to happen with the Kilobots and prevent it from happening? Why did you show up only, when it was to late to save the millions of people, who died from the incident? Why did you dam me to this wretched lonely existence, when everyone I ever cared about is dead?!" Shouted Samantha as she yanked her mask off and put her hood down to glare at Nora.
Nora starred at Samantha's metal face and saw the hate and sadness in her eyes.
"I didn't mean for any of this to...happen to." Said Nora.
"Well guess what it happened! I got my life taken away from me and I got turned into a murderous machine! You helped do this to me and I will never forgive you! You know what I think the only reason, you bothered to save my life the first time, was an attempt to atone for your failure to save all those people, who got killed by the Kilobots. Saving a child made you look good to the public and helped ease your guilt, but now you got that on your conscience." Said Samantha.
"It...was nothing like that!" Stammered Nora.
"Please! I know your upset, but now is not the time. We need to work together to save the world from whatever Brisbaine has planned." Said Weasel.
"You two can work together, but I'm out. Later losers! I hope you die miserably!" Called Samantha as she put her mask and hood on before she took off running.
Nora and Weasel watched the cyborg disappear not sure what to do next.
To be continued.
