Sora: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack!
Mika: hey Sora!
Sora: can you make me friends with Zircon?
Mika: no, sadly I can't.
Sora: oh well...
009: Mika doesn't own Cyborg 009 or anything in it
Mika: hey, you did the disclaimer!
009: so? You had a party that you didn't let us come to. I'll see you later! *flies away*
~@~@~@~@~
Black Ghost had decided to pay another visit to Aquamarine. She was so gullible, he thought. Once he had her convinced that 0017 was going to shut her system down, Aquamarine would be like a chess piece. And as an added bonus at no extra cost, he had sixteen others.
And, now that the two 0016's were finished, he had the perfect opportunity to steal back 0017. Black Ghost was definitely ready to see them squirm under his power.
~@~@~@~
"There it is again." Mika said to herself, getting frustrated by the lines of magic. There would be one huge jump, then it would all be calm. It was getting on her nerves. Jumping off her bed and returning volume three of Cyborg 009 to her bookshelf, she wandered out of her bedroom.
Both her sisters were playing their Gameboy Advances. Neither of them saw her walk out the front door. If they had, it wouldn't have made a difference. They would've thought that she was going to sit in the armchair outside on the porch. Once Mika was about three blocks away, she let a pair of wings out of her back. Kicking off the ground, she took to the skies to find Diamond.
~@~@~@~
Diamond had felt a huge wave of magical and electric energy flow through her body. It was too much for her to handle. She tried to steady the magical waves with her own magic, but her magic only covered a small portion of what needed to be done. She couldn't compete. She collapsed.
Zircon, too, felt a disruption. She froze, mid-step. Looking in front of her, she saw a man in a black cape staring back at her. She screamed and tried to move. Aquamarine and Topaz came dashing in with 002 on their heels, thinking it had been Sapphire. Zircon just stood there, letting a bloodcurdling scream out.
[SAPPHIRE!! SAPPHIRE, HELP ME!!] she mentally blared. Her voice was disabled.
[What is it, Zircon? Trying to break the sound barrier?] Sapphire asked, for she too had heard Zircon scream.
[No! I've been immobilized. I can't move a muscle. I feel Black Ghost] she told Sapphire, then passed out.
"RUBY!" Sapphire yelled. Ruby came sprinting out of the kitchen with Garnet and Chang with her. Then, Sapphire felt the presence from earlier. Only this time, it was much, much stronger.
[Having fun?] a voice asked inside her head.
[Get your god damned voice out of Zircon's and my head.] Sapphire barked.
[I can't do that. Then I would have to sacrifice 0017.]
~@~@~@~
Mika nearly screamed herself. The amount of pain she was feeling was off the chart. Magic was no question here. This had obviously been done by tidal waves of magic. She called upon the three magics deep within herself. Sending the magic upon the pain, Mika halted mid-air.
The pain subsided. It was because she had called it off, or that its source had been cut off. Mika kept flying, knowing where that surge had come from.
~@~@~@~
Morgan saw Sapphire standing there, indigo eyes wide. Joe looked too; asking 001 what was going on.
[So Black Ghost is the cause of this?] Joe asked Ivan.
[That's right, 009.]
[But how is he doing it, 001?] Albert asked, coming into the conversation. [This isn't 0016, is it?]
[No, 004, this isn't 0016. Like 003 said, 0016 is coming soon. Black Ghost is seeing to this personally.] Ivan told them.
Peridot walked out of her new bedroom. She bumped into Turquoise, who was quite contentedly listening to a CD. Peridot wondered what all the screams were about. Then she heard a voice, like the rest on board the Dolphin.
[Be prepared, cyborgs. You have yet to see my might. Aquamarine, I can not thank you enough for finding them for me. I shall see you all, especially you, Aquamarine, later.] Peridot broke into a run. How could Aquamarine side with Black Ghost?
Sapphire still stood there, staring out the window. She had been right about the omnipresence. Morgan looked at her, then out the window.
Alex was there, flying through the skies. She seemed to be looking for something.
[Did all of you get that transmission also?] Sapphire asked everyone. All the responses said yes, even Alex. She had been outside throughout the whole episode. [So, they really are after us and Diamond. What do we do?]
[First off,] Joe said, [We need to get all of us in here and talk.]
[Got it.] Sapphire told him, setting off to get all her sisters.
~@~@~@~
"Aquamarine, why did you side with them?" Topaz asked. "I knew that we were playing a game of war, but does it matter that much to you?"
Aquamarine sat there, curled up into a ball. Everyone was looking at her. She felt awful about ever leaving home to find the cyborgs. "I didn't side with them! He tricked me!" she wailed. Britain looked at her. Judging by her look, she wasn't lying.
"You guys, I think she's telling the truth." Alex said. "If she wanted to destroy us, wouldn't she have done it by now?"
"Yeah, I agree with Alex. We would have been toast by now." Peridot told them. Zircon was absent. Peridot wondered where she was.
Aquamarine racked her brain. How was Black Ghost tracking her? But what if...
"I don't think they're tracking me, Topaz. He wants 0017, who I'm guessing is Diamond. When they kidnapped her, they must have put a tracking device on her." Aquamarine told Topaz. Then, she got up to find Diamond, who was absent also.
When she found Diamond, she was unconscious. Looking at Diamond, she Aquamarine tried to find the tracker. Then she saw it on Diamond's left shoulder. There was something else there, too. It was shaped like a red diamond. Aquamarine had no clue what it was*. She pulled off the tracking device and squashed it with her foot. Emerald had come out to investigate what Aquamarine was doing.
"So there you are, Zircon." Emerald said kindly, looking at Zircon. Zircon was out cold on the floor. Emerald closed her eyes to check for a virus in her system.
[Sapphire, I need you NOW.] Emerald said, sounding very alarmed. [Diamond and Zircon are unconscious. It isn't normal. I can't even access their systems to check for viruses.]
[I'll be right in] Sapphire said, starting out to the living room.
Aquamarine's eyes suddenly glazed over. She floated about six inches off the ground. Sapphire walked into the room and hurried over to where Emerald was. She tried mental contact with Aquamarine to see if she would back her up. There wasn't a response.
Sapphire swiveled around and found her sister hovering above the ground. "Emerald, something's gone very, very wrong." Sapphire said, her voice shaking.
~@~@~@~
Inside Aquamarine's head, Black Ghost was having tea with her.
"So, Aquamarine, do you agree to my terms?" he asked.
"No, you asswipe." She barked, clenching her fists. Bindings sprang out of the chair and caught her in them.
"Now, now, that isn't the way we talk." Black Ghost said in a voice coated with sugar. "Just say yes and I'll wake all of you up. If you don't agree, you will remain here until both of my new cyborgs have crushed the prototypes."
"Still no."
"Very well then." He said, his voice returning to normal. "You are going to remain here until the 0016 twins have been defeated, which is never."
~@~@~@~
Zircon, Diamond and Aquamarine had been brought to the infirmary for examination by Gilmore. Sapphire had escaped up onto the top of the Dolphin after she had pushed Aquamarine into the infirmary. Jet tried to get up, but Sapphire had sealed the door with her magic. He cursed at it, then left.
Turquoise had been listening to her CD the whole time. Even through the "meeting", she had had them on. Once it had been dismissed, she had clipped the player to her capri pants and begun to do her combat practice again. It was very interesting to watch.
Ruby had seated herself on the couch in the living room. Creating a barrier of energy around herself, she started to look back. She saw only when Diamond had collapsed due to the overwhelming amount of energy. Then, a very disturbing image entered her view.
It was Black Ghost, torturing the three that were unconscious. She instantly stopped the flow of images and let the barrier down. Spinel came in, not looking very pleased.
"I tried to start a tornado, thunderstorm, hailstorm, and the worst of weather you can think of outside. I don't think I should have done it." She said, sounding glum. As she spoke, Sapphire came flying in. She was soaked and looked like she'd been hit by a tornado.
That had been exactly what had happened. "Spinel, let's go fix it now." Sapphire said, heading back out. "We need to stop it sooner or later."
~@~@~@~
Black Ghost was enjoying himself for the fist time in many, many years. Seeing that he could scare the hell out of the most powerful cyborgs in the world was enough to make anyone smile, at least.
"Sir, we have lost 0017 on radar." A sergeant said to Black Ghost.
"Now, send both copies of 0016 after them. They are approximately ten degrees north of where they where when we last made contact." Black Ghost told him.
"Yes, sir."
~@~@~@~
Mika felt it. But this time, she used the magic to lead her to Diamond.
The time was now. No more stalling. Both of the 0016 twins were out for blood.
~@~@~@~@~
* - [I need to stop the asterisks ^-^;;;] anyway, you haven't been introduced to my fully crazed world. Diamond is the Ace of Diamonds, which is a pretty powerful card going by my stats. Of course, you don't know them yet... *mysterious grin*
Once you learn the four suites by me, you'll see this story in a whole new light.
