[Disclaimer: I'm going to tell you this slowly and not use any big words so you can understand this. I...Do...not...own...Cyborg 009. Now...GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS!! **pant, pant**]

Warning! A small part of this chapter is kind of angsty but don't worry. I'm going to get back to my trademark cheesy humor right after. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

0011: The New Girl In Their Midst

Chapter 8: TRAP!!

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS!!!!!" yelled every cyborg in the room.

"I mean that I've just discovered a way to track her. We'll be able to find Black Ghost's hideout and rescue her if we can get 002 out of his trance long enough to tell him", the doctor said calmly.

"LET'S MOVE IT, PEOPLE!! WHY ARE YOU ALL STILL STANDING AROUND LOOKING LIKE IDIOTS?!?" screamed someone from behind them making them all jump three feet in the air.

They all turned and saw 002 standing there in his uniform. He still looked extremely depressed but there was a glint of raw determination in his eyes that made him look like he could do anything.

"There's one thing" cautioned the doctor, "The device won't be able to tell you if she's alive or not. It hones in on her DNA so...I don't know what you'll...find."

At the end of that statement a cold shiver swept through the cyborgs. They knew what he meant by that. 009 looked at 002. He was the only one with the right o decide if they should go. Jet nodded.

"We'll leave tomorrow morning, team, so get some rest!" said 009.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

They left before the sky had even turned pink with dawn. The Dolphin was fully loaded and they were off with 009 at the helm and 008 as navigator. They had been sailing for a few hours when 003 cried out.

"Bogie! 12o'clock!" she yelled.

Everyone looked at her a little strange. She blushed and sweatdropped.

"Someone's been watching too many old military movies" 009 teased and poked 003.

She giggled. A pang of sorrow attacked 002's heart as he remembered 0011 doing the exact same thing the morning she was taken. Noticing his pal's pained face 004 quickly changed the subject.

"I know I'm pretty new at this but doesn't 'bogie' mean something bad with weapons?" he said interrupting 009 and 003's flirt fest.

"Oh!" yelped 003, "Right. And it's closing in! I think it belongs to Black ghost!"

"Battle-stations!" cried 009.

"008 is Mariah on that ship?" 002 asked 008.

"No. She's in an under water base that that sub is probably protecting" he replied.

"Thanks"

"It's firing on us!" panicked 003.

"Avasive actions!" yelled 009.

"They're heat seekers!" yelled 004.

"I'm on it!" said Mole. He ran outside and blew some fire at the on coming torpedoes. They swerved and 005 shot them with his gun. They exploded a few meters from the ship making it sway violently in the newly formed current.

"Fire torpedoes!" cried 009. The action was immediately fulfilled by the weapons manager, 004.

"Direct hit! She's sunk! That was really quick!" cried 003 happily, hugging 009. Then realizing what they were doing both of them blushed furiously and let go.

"Come on you lovebirds! You can act embarrassed once we get Jet's girl back!" laughed 004, "Then maybe you can double date!"

003 and 009 blushed so much that they actually looked like tomatoes. Jet, however, didn't even get mad.

'Whoa!' thought 004, 'You can tell Jet's down! He didn't try to strangle me!'

"We're coming to the loading pier of the base" said 008, "initiating docking sequence!"

The door opened and they peered into a well-lit and modern base. They decided that Francois should stay with the ship.

"We're in", said 009 softly as he walked inside, "Stay on your guard. They've obviously seen us coming or they wouldn't have sent that sub after us."

"Duh!" said 002.

He was getting irritable. As they ran down the hallway all he could think about was how slow they were going. He needed to get there sooner. She could be in pain or...worse. They suddenly came to a crossroads.

"008, does the device the professor gave us say which room she's in?" he asked to get his mind off the dark thoughts going through his tormented mind.

"No it just says she's somewhere in this base, no details." Replied 008 looking at the apparatus.

"Okay then let's split up! 005, you 007 and 006 go down that corridor. 009, 008, and 004 you go down that one. Okay let's move."

'No fair' thought 009, 'He took my line!' But he did what he was told.

'How strange" thought 002 as he ran down his assigned hallway, 'I haven't seen a single guard in this entire place (A/N: isn't that convenient? **wink**). They must be at some gathering thinking we had been destroyed instead of their sub. Oh, well! This will just help me find Mariah faster!"

With the other cyborgs~&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Though 002 was having an uneventful search, the others were not having as good a time. 009's group had come across a whole fleet of guards patrolling that corridor. The same predicament faced 005's group as well.

"I hope that 002 hasn't met up with these guys," said 009 as he shot down a soldier.

Back to Jet~&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Jet had finally gotten to the end of the hallway. There was a huge door there with 'Top Secret' posted on it and chain on the handles with a large dead bolt and padlock fastening it.

"This looks promising!" he said to himself.

He could feel that his prize and his enemy were just beyond that door, waiting for him. Without hesitation he grabbed his laser, shot the lock from the handles, and walked inside.

Inside there was a huge room. It was filled with surgery tables and equipment. There was a vat of bubbling acid in the middle with something dangling above it. Something wrapped in chains and unconscious. Something with...long brown hair!

"MARIAH!!" he yelled and started to fly up to her.

She stirred and opened her eyes.

"No...Don't!" she cried weakly. He stopped in mid air.

"Are you crazy?" he asked, "You're hanging above a vat of boiling acid. I think rescueing is in order! Maybe you've been here so long its fried your brain!" He began to fly towards her again.

"No! Get out of here!" she said more urgently this time, "It's a trap! They only wanted me to get to you guys!"

"That's right and now I have all of you in my trap!" said an deep voice from the corner of the room.

Jet turned just as Black Ghost stepped from the shadows looking as evil as usual.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

[Perfect ending! Well its perfect for me because I can't think of anything else right now. **sweatdropped** Anyway, please review! ^_____^]
