Voices… That's what she heard when she became slightly conscious again.

'What's going on…? And why does it feel like I'm strapped to a…!' she realized she was indeed strapped to a cold lab table when she opened her eyes. She peered around and spotted three men from a distance, obviously not noticing her awakening.

They were speaking in barely audible to the normal human hearing. But she was able to catch a few words traded among the people speaking.

"This…success…" One spoke.

"Couldn't…said…better…" Another one said.

"I certainly hope Black Ghost knows what he's thinking…" The third mumbled.

She mentally frowned. 'Black Ghost…? Where have I heard that? And why is the conversation sounding clearer…?'

"You question Black Ghost's decision?"

"Of course not!" the same one that spoke last time, "It's just that adding more power to the prototype of all of the 00 Cyborgs is risky. You remember when she woke up after she was changed into a Cyborg."

"You mean when she tried to kill one of the scientists that converted her to a Cyborg?" the second one asked.

The first voice scoffed. "I remember. Nearly everyone working under Black Ghost who's still alive during the last 40 years remembers!"

'Forty years…? What-' Then it all came back to the young girl.

*Flashback*

A 3-year-old girl, hair and body messy and dirty and clad in tattered clothes, sat in the alley as snow dropped from the sky. She tried to warm herself with the old blanket she found in the dump while also trying to fall asleep.

Suddenly, shadows loomed over her. She looked up at whoever is looking down at her with unique gold eyes. Two men, dressed in black suits, hats and sunglasses, stared down at her.

"Come with us, little girl," the one nearest to her, "we'll take you to a safe place." The man extended a hand towards her.

Now being a young girl, she has yet to learn about strangers. However, this 'safe place' was probably better than freezing on the streets.

"…OK…" she softly replied before taking the man's hand.

*End Flashback*

'They gave me the name 'Kit' because my eyes reminded them of a cat's, and put me through 15 years of hard training. Whenever I did something right, they gave me one item that I wanted. But whenever I did something wrong, I was punished. After the years of living nightmare, I was Black Ghost's best soldier. It was when I was 18 that they put me to sleep and changed me into a Cyborg. When I woke up and found out, I was furious, and attacked the first scientist I saw. However, this led me to being frozen…until now. But…why?'

A hiss sounded as the door opened. Giving a silent yelp, she closed her eyes and lied back on the table, pretending she was still asleep.

"How is the Cyborg?" A new voice asked the three other.

"Cyborg 000, prototype, AKA Kit, is completed."

"Besides the characteristics of all of the cats of the feline family, we added the Acceleration Mode."

"Perfect," the new voice said, "Black Ghost will surely be proud. I'll take her to him now."

'That's my cue to MOVE IT!!' The girl, now 000, snapped her eyes open. With incredible strength, she freed herself from the straps, but also alarming the four scientists.

"No way am I going to let you just take me to this 'Black Ghost' after what you made me go through!" 000 cried as she jumped and kicked two in the head, knocking them unconscious.

"Oh no!"

"Guards!"

She whipped around when she heard that last one. "Nuh-uh! Not in this lifetime!" She kneed one in the stomach, and then smashed the last one's face onto the ground. "That's for calling the guards on me!"

000 stood up and glared at each of the unconscious body. Then, she noticed something brushing against her leg. She looked down, and let out a tiny gasp. A long, metallic, and not to mention cat-like, tail was moving around as if it had a mind of its own. She followed where it led to, and found that it belonged to her. She also noticed that she was wearing a red suit with yellow buttons and a yellow scarf. Around her waist were a belt and a holster, currently occupied by a gun of some sort.

The Cyborg blinked before holding her hand up to touch her head, only to feel something metal in her dark brown hair.

'Probably cat ears,' she thought before opening her mouth and felt her incisors. They grew a few millimeters longer since the last time she checked. 'Guess that's what they meant by 'characteristics of all cats'.'

"In here, hurry!" a voice called from behind the door as it hissed open. 000 looked up, and gulped. Soldiers stood there, their guns ready to fire if she tried to make a move.

'Oh shoot, what to do, what to do…?' A light bulb suddenly lit up in her head. 'One of the scientists said that they added Acceleration Mode to me… Let's see if I can find where it is.'

A blast, and a yowl of pain.

"Hey, were you listening to what I was saying, Cyborg?!" the head of the soldiers yelled, holding a gun much like her own.

000 let out a hiss (AN: And I mean the cat hiss.) before holding onto her shoulder. 'Damn it!' She clenched her jaws.

Then everything seemed to slow down a lot. 000 blinked, only to chuckle.

"Thank you, sergeant. You helped me figure out how to activate Acceleration Mode." But the prototype knew this was no time to joke around, and charged at the soldiers, jumping up and over them.

"Now I have to pick up a few things before I make my leave…"

"Gee, I would've thought they threw all my stuff away when they froze me," 000 wondered out loud as she looked around her ancient room. Cobwebs and dust covered her whole room. Obviously Black Ghost didn't have anyone clean this room for the last 40 years.

The half cat Cyborg shrugged. "Ah well, better for me." She grabbed a large backpack from the corner of the room, dusted it off, and put it on the bed.

"Now, where did I put everything… Oh yes!"

She looked around the room, and soon found the items that she needed on her escape: a First-Aid kit, a small toolkit, a flashlight, and a blanket. She quickly bandaged her wounded shoulder with the First-Aid kit. 000 also threw in her CD player, a CD holder with her favorite CD's, a sketchbook with a pencil and eraser, and last, but not least, her diary.

"Well, that's done…" 000 swung the backpack over her shoulder. "Now I have to find a way out."

"Any traces of that Cyborg?" a voice shouted from behind the door.

"Not yet, sir!"

"Keep looking! She's got to be around here somewhere!"

'Uh-oh! Time to jet!' she thought as she looked around for an exit. She glanced up, and a ventilation shaft caught her attention. Using a chair to boost herself up, she pried it open and slipped in.

"Find that Cyborg, dead or alive!"

'Geez!' 000 thought as she watched the soldiers running around, trying to find her. 'They don't give up easy! Now, where can I find an exit?' As she crawled more, she found something quite interesting outside one of the shafts leading to a room.

'Hey…' she thought as she saw a small aircraft, 'I remember piloting one of those!' She gazed around the hangar, and muttered silently as she saw the soldiers standing guard. 'Oh man! How am I supposed to get past them?' She rubbed her chin as she thought of her possibilities. 'Not the Acceleration Mode… I doubt I'll be able to fly the aircraft that fast without damaging the aircraft… My cat abilities won't be of much help either… I got it!' She reached down for her gun. 'Let's see what this baby can do…'

000 studied the gun, looking through the different modes it has. 'Needle… Blaster… Sonic Wave!' she pressed that button. 'All right! Time to rumble!'

"Hiiiiyah!" She kicked opening, breaking the metal to break. This caused all the guards to look up in surprise. 000 jumped out from the shaft.

"Eat Sonic Waves!" The Cyborg cried before pulling the trigger. Purple-pink waves came out from the blaster, enveloping the soldiers. All of them moaned in slight pain before falling unconscious. 000 performed a few twirls and somersaults before landing next to the device for opening the hangar. Suppressing the urge to dance, she flipped the switch and ran into the aircraft.

000 buckled herself into the driver's seat. She flipped all the switches to start the engine, and directed the plane to the hangar's exit. The aircraft powered up and charged to the exit.

"Halt!"

'Oh no!'

"C'mon, c'mon!" she urged the aircraft. As if hearing her, it charged fast, and soon she was up in the air, escaping from her nightmare. 000 smiled. Even though it will only be for a while, but now she can say goodbye to those people.

OK, it's official. I SUCK at stories. And I have two others to finish… Well, anyway, please leave a review. Oh, and flames will be used to fry my evil friends.
