~* A Queen Of Diamonds*~
009 walked quietly threw the lonely halls of the dolphin. He could occasionally hear the sound of thunder pierce through the mighty ships sound proof walls. The boat rocked from side to side as the violent waves beat against the ships side, one occasionally strong enough to completely slam him against a near by wall. The cyborg leader slowly made his way down the endless corridor, until his hand finally clasped against a cold door knob. Slowly and very gently he pushed the door open until it was open enough where he could fully step in the room and close the door silently behind him.
In side the room 003 was sitting on a small cushion next to the wide window. She seemed to be watching the rain pour outside. Joe knew she was deep in thought because she didn't even acknowledge the fact that he was there. Her shoulders tense and her face didn't display the beautiful smile he loved so much. Without further hesitation he slowly walked over to her. His strong hands came to rest gently on her shoulders and he slowly felt her relax.
"What's wrong Françoise?" Joe's deep voice husked as he gently lowered his head so his lips were right next to her ear.
The French cyborg gave a soft sound of pleaser as she felt his hands slowly start to misusage her tense shoulders. "There's nothing wrong." She then shut her eyes in bliss at his tender actions.
"C'mon.don't you trust me Francoise?" Joe grinned playfully at the end of his sentence.
His smile broadened when he heard a soft moan of pleaser escape her now smiling lips.
"I trust you with everything I am Joe." was all she barely breathed out.
A thrill ran down the cyborg soldier's back as the meaning of her words hit him as he continued to lightly misusage her worn shoulders. Her head lolled back onto his chest as she smiled brightly at him. Her eyes were closed in complete bliss so she didn't see the loving smile he wore on his face.
"If you trust me then tell me what's on your mind?" his voice sounded smooth and velvety against her ear. Joe knew he was wearing her down and that she would crack and tell him everything soon.
"I don't want to be a bother to you." the blond cyborg said in one big sigh.
"You could never bother me Francoise." Joe moved his head so that he was looking down at her head on his chest. He saw he eyes open so she could stare up at him. 003's eyes sparkled with some sort of noticeable joy and desire. She gazed deeply into his cinnamon eyes for what seemed like an eternity before she answered his unanswered question.
"Realy? How can I never bother you?" was all her tiny voice was capable of saying at that moment.
His smile softened as he gazed down at his beloved with a burning and desired passion pulsing threw him. Due to these feelings he started to speak without even thinking about what he was saying. "You could never bother me Francoise. You always brighten up my day with your beautiful smile. You alone are the only reason why I continue to fight Black Ghost, and you're the only reason why I haven't given up on everything. So if ever you need someone to talk to or hold you please come to me because I will never ever give up on you.never." 009 moved his hand away from her shoulders and completely infolded her in his arms. It took a few long moments for him to finally realize what he had said, and when the meaning of his words finally came into light he turned so red he could make a tomato look pale.
Francoise smiled a pure and loving smile of joy. It was amazing how Joe alone could always make her feel so warm and think that maybe things weren't so bad after all. She also marveled at how gentle he always was with her. His hands were always so warm and soft it was almost impossible to believe that those same hands could blast threw metal, hold a gun, and even kill. Yet, in all that strength there was this gentle and sensitive side to him, and that was only one reason, on 003's long list of reasons, of why she loved him so much.
Carefully and tenderly the petite French girl slowly lifted her hand so she could softly caress his hot cheek. The redness in his face died down and she felt him lightly press against the palm of her hand. "Thank you." she whispered softly.
"For what?" His voice husked as his hand trailed up her arm and came to rest softly over her hand.
"For always being there for me and making me feel impossibly safe." Her voice was whisper-soft but Joe heard every word. Every gratifying syllable.
A loud crash of thunder boomed in the sky causing 003 to jump off of the cushion fast. So fast in fact she almost tripped until 009s warm and protective arms wrapped protectively and fiercely around her waist, to prevent her from falling any further.
"Oh.I-I'm so sorry Joe it's just the thunder, surprised me that's all." Francoise said suddenly needing to explain.
Joe chuckled slightly at how cute she looked at that moment. Then he turned her so she was completely standing up right and facing him. [A.n. sorry I sorta ruined the mushy moment there ^-^ don't worry it should get all sappy again in the next few paragraphs] Her hands rested softly on the tops of his chest as one of his hands lopped threw her waist and the other draped protectively around her back, pulling her much closer to him. [A.n. if that's possible ^_~]
~*~
Peaking into the room through a small opening in the door was none other than 002, 004, 007 and 006. They were all watching the lovely scene that was unfolding before them.
Suddenly Dr. Gilmore came walking down the hall carrying 001. That's when he noticed all the cyborgs crowded against the door frame.
"What's all the commotion?" the doctor asked curiously.
"Look." 002 said moving aside a little so Dr. Gilmore could see what was happening.
When the doctor finally saw what was happening he immediately opened his mouth to question 002 about all this, but the only thing he got was all four cyborgs covering his mouth and telling him to be quite before he ruined the moment.
~*~
003 found herself so caught in the moment she didn't notice the spies outside the door. 009 was her only focus right than and there. The world could completely melt away, or Black Ghost could launch an attack right at that moment and it wouldn't matter.
009 ran his thumb across the beautiful French girls bottom lip. What he would give to be able to just have a taste of her sweetness. Joe had often had dreams where he would tell Francoise that he loved her then he would kiss her in a long passionate kiss. Of course these were just dreams but every time they always felt so real and wonderful. The urge to kiss her got stronger and stronger as each moment passed by, until finally the urge was just too strong.
Joe's hand slowly moved from her back to neatly cup her chin. The hand that infolded her waist brought her as close as physics would allow. Then without further adieu he lowered his face to hers and completely captured his lips with her sweet ones.
003 was at first surprised by his bold move but then she quickly fell under his spell and responded to his offering of a kiss. An electric thrill ran threw her as she felt him tenderly stroke her cheek.
009 felt an unexplainable joy at that moment. He was sure she would have freaked right about now and pulled back from him, but she didn't. Joe smiled into the kiss and tried to bring her as close as he possibly could, as he felt her hand rank threw his hair.
With lungs burning for air the two cyborgs pulled away from each other. Both were breathing heavy from lack of air. That's when 009 decided that right then was the best time to tell his beloved how he truly felt.
"Francoise I."
His sentence was cut short when the giant ship suddenly fell sharp on its side. 009 held 003 tight as the two fell towards the nearest wall.
The other cyborgs that were standing near the door suddenly fell into the room and landed right near 009 and 003.
"What the hell was that?!" 002 demanded in obvious displeasure.
003 rubbed her head groggily while she spoke. "I have no idea. It might just have been the waves though."
"I doubt it." Dr. Gilmore said in his usual I-Know-Everything voice.
Suddenly the ship completely turned on its other side so it was back to normal, and the cyborgs then fell back to the middle of the room. 009 was still holding onto 003 as tight as ever.
"This is getting realy annoying!" 002 growled dangerously under his breath.
Suddenly 005 and 008 came into the room.
"What's going on? Why are the waves suddenly getting so violent?" 008 asked.
"Because," 005's voice suddenly boomed in, as he walked closer to the nearest window, "we are approaching the island of Bermuda."
There was a silence in the room after 005's proclamation. Until Dr. Gilmore cleared his thought and spoke. "We should get ready to board off the ship soon."
The team nodded then one by one lifted themselves off the ground and prepared to board off the ship.
~*~
The rain was pouring down on the island of Bermuda furiously. The streets were deserted, since no one with any sense would dare come out in a storm like this, with the exception of nine cyborgs.
The whole team stood on one of the islands tallest buildings, observing the land bellow them.
"Everything's so still. Where do we start looking for the black ghost?" 003 asked the tall cyborg leader next to her.
"I honestly don't know." Was 009's reply.
"Let's split into groups. That way we can cover more land." 004 suggested, while he still looked at the forsaken land before him.
"That's a good idea." 009 agreed. "Alright, 002 and 004, go the north side of the island. 007 and 006 go to the east side of the town. 005 and 008, take 001 to the west side of the island. The west side is where all the major buildings are so make sure you cheek everyone of them. Then 003 and I will go too the beach and harbor areas."
The team nodded then they all broke apart and when their separate ways.
~*~
Down on the beach 009 and 003 were walking slowly down the endless path of sand. 003 would occasionally shiver due to the coldness in the air, and every time she did shiver 009 would always loop his hand threw her waist and pull her a bit closer too him. This action mage Francoise feel impossibly safe.
"Joe?" 003's tiny voice rang.
"Hmm?"
"What exactly are we looking for?" her emerald eyes stared up at him expectantly, making the air around him decrees slightly and the heat in his face rise a bit.
"Any thing suspicious I suppose." Was his reply.
Suddenly 003's hand rose and she pointed to something in the sky. "Would you call that suspicious?"
009's jaw dropped when he saw what she was looking at. It was a giant ship, a ship that seemed impossible for man to create. Labeled on the ship were two giant letters, BG.
Joe scowled. That has to be Black Ghost. No one else in this world could ever make a ship that big. The cyborg leader thought to himself.
In one slick move Joe immediately stepped in front of Francoise, signaling that he would protect her till the end, and that's exactly what he would do.
The ship silently landed on a sand bar in the ocean, not too far from the shore where Joe and Francoise stood. As if by reflex Joes hand immediately clamped over the silver gun at his side.
With her excellent hearing Francoise heard the faint creaking sound of the hatch doors opening. Who ever was in there was sure to come out soon. With this thought in mind Francoise stepped unconsciously closer to Joe and grasped the material of his shirt.
As if on cue a person appeared from inside the ship. 009 recognized him immediately as Black Ghost! Joes face was the perfect display of anger and furry at that moment. Suddenly Black Ghost let out a piercing laugh of evil.
"My my.so we met again cyborg soldiers!" Black Ghosts voice sounded in the two cyborgs head, almost giving them headaches from just that one sentence.
"What do you want Black Ghost?!" Joe's powerful voice demanded.
"Touchy today aren't we." Was black ghost's poor attempt at changing the subject?
"Just tell us what you want!" Joe snapped back.
Black Ghost gave a small, evil chuckle of amusement before he answered the cyborg leaders demanding question. "Well.since you must know. I am here to take something that rightfully belongs to me, your ace of hearts short to speak."
"What!" Joe pressed further, not understanding what this meant.
"Yes! Your ace of hearts, also known as that pretty little swan that stands behind you now!" Black Ghost laughed evilly at how fast the cyborg leader's face could change from furry to horror.
Joe immediately turned slightly so he could grab Francoise by the waist and crush her to his chest protectively. Though he did not remove Black Ghosts despicable figure from his line of vision. "If you want her you monster, then you'll have to kill me to get to her, and believe me I wont let that happen!" Joes voice was low and menacing as he addressed the leader of the Black Ghost organization.
Black Ghost shook his head distastefully. "Honestly why don't you just do something the easy way for once? Oh well.either way I will win!" Right after the last word of his sentence a giant wing started up, causing 009's hair to somewhat could his vision, but, much to black ghosts dismay, this just made him hold onto the girl he loved tighter. As if the wind weren't enough some magnetic force started to pull 003 away from 009. She suddenly slipped out of his arms and was dragged down the beach.
Without thinking twice Joe got up off the ground and ran forward, once again putting 003 in his arms. He suddenly twisted around so the wind was breaking against his back rather than hers.
003 grabbed the material of Joe's shirt while the magnetic force tried to pull her the other way. There was no way she was going to let Black Ghost just take her away.
Suddenly the wind stopped and the magnetic force died down, but Joe still held Francoise all the more protectively.
"Fine! You win this time fools! But I can assure you next time you wont!" with one last twirl of his cape the giant ships metal door slammed shut and the ship took off and flew into the sky.
009 sighed in relief, then suddenly dropped to his knees, bringing Francoise down with him. The cyborg leader could fell something wet slowly seep into his shirt. "Shh. Francoise it's ok. He's gone now. We won." Joe whispered soothingly into her ear.
003 silently shook her head. Then raised her head so her eyes met his. It shattered his heart to see her like this. "I-I know we won this time but what about next time! I don't want to go with him Joe!"
Joe understood this. He slowly raised his hand and dried the very last of her tears. "I know Francoise I know. I will never let anything happen to you.ever, and if by some horror Black Ghost gets his dirty hands on you I swear it I will do anything and everything I can to get you back. Even if it mean digging my own grave. So please don't cry, because I'm always here for you."
Francoise completely melted into his sweet words and managed a weak smile. So she quietly tried to stand but she found she couldn't, and it wasn't because Joe was still holding her.
"Francoise what happened to your ankle?!" Joe said worriedly.
"I must have sprained it or something when that magnet thing tried to take me to black ghost." She said matter-of-factly.
"Hmm.will have Dr. Gilmore take a look at it when we get back to the dolphin." Suddenly and without warning 009 lifted 003 off the ground and once again in his arms. One of his arms was under her knee and the other around her back.
"C'mon," then he bent down and left a lingering kiss on her brow, "let's get back to the dolphin."
So that's how this chapter ends. With 009 carrying his precious bundle back to safety and away from the place where he almost lost the love of his life. Though he knew she might not be safe tomorrow, right now she was, and that was all that mattered.

Well anyway.please please please review! I love receiving reviews it makes me put a lot more effort into the chapter. not to mention I update faster too. ^_~
So thank you so much
