Cybersix

Chapter 2: A New Friend

By: Cyber

Authors Note: In this chapter I introduce my fan character SC-3, hope you like her (She's 15). She's almost the same height as Cybersix with the same build, has green eyes, short black hair, a kind personality/attitude, and a special talent. I'll try to get a picture of her but don't count on it too much, I'd have to draw it (I'm pretty good at art) then find out how to put it in my story (help very much appreciated).

Scene: (Early morning in Jose's office. A Techno has just reported that somebody is stealing Sustenance vials, and it isn't Cybersix)

Jose: (Standing on his desk, and yelling) "What do you mean there's ANOTHER one?"

Techno-1: (He flinches) "There seems to be someone with cyber abilities attacking the Fixed Idea's, and then taking their vials."

Jose: (He growls, frustrated) "Do you know WHO it is? Or WHERE they are?"

Techno-1: (Trembling) "N…no sir, n…not yet."

Jose: (Getting mad) "Then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Go and FIND them, and bring them here."

Techno-1: "yes sir." (Runs out the door)

Jose: (After the Techno leaves, he jumps off his desk. Pulling at his hair) "Imbeciles! They can't do anything right." (He pauses, thinking) "It must be one of father's renegade creations, but where did it come from? And more importantly, which one is it?" (He grins evilly) "Oh well, with my new plan nearly finished, nothing can stop me from destroying Cybersix." (He laughs maniacally, then leaves the room deep in thought)

Scene: (Later that day, you see Adrian talking to Lucas in the café)

Adrian: (Frowning)"You're right Lucas, it's been way to quiet since we've last seen Jose a couple of weeks ago, and it's not like him to just sit around." (He looks out the window)

Lucas: (Concerned) "So, are you going to go looking for him?"

Adrian: (He smiles) "No, but I was going to visit Julian to see how he's doing, and then see what my brother's been up to." (He looks at Lucas) "So what about you?"

Lucas: (A resigned expression on his face, not really looking forward to tonight) "I was going to finish correcting that pop quiz I gave my biology class today, so that I wouldn't have to do it Sunday. You know," (He smiles mischievously) "I can't do it tomorrow, not with the game on."

Adrian: (He smiles) "I really don't get you some times," (Then chuckles) "anyway, I should get going," (getting up, he puts some money on the table for his dinner) "I'll talk to you later." (Puts on his coat and leaves)

Lucas: (Whispering under his breath, with a worried expression, watching Adrian leave the café) "Be careful, Cybersix."

Scene: (Adrian with his hands in his pockets walking down a street)

Adrian: (As he passes a back ally, you hear a girl scream followed by deep grunts. While running down the ally) "That sounded like Fixed Idea's!" (Arriving at the scene, he sees a teenage girl, dressed in ragged black shirt and pants, on the ground surrounded by 4 Fixed Idea's and a Techno.)

Techno-1: (Pointing to the girl) "Hurry up and grab her you idiots, we have to get back to the mansion before someone sees us."

Adrian: (Rushing into the fight) "Leave her alone!" (Punching the nearest one in the face, he than twirls around, elbowing a 2nd in the gut, and manages to high kick the Techno in the side of the head, before they even manage to react. Doing a flip over the 4th, who's started running towards him, he twists in mid-air and kicks it into the 1st. #5 manages to grab him from behind while #2 moves forward with his arm pulled back for a punch. So he flips over #5 to land on it's shoulders, kicking #2 in the chin on his way, and rams his fist into the back of #5's neck, effectively deactivating it) "One down." (By now the techno's back up)

Techno-1: (On his hands and knees, trying to get up, shouting) "What are you waiting for? Get him!" (He points towards Adrian)

Adrian: (Jumping behind the Techno, he puts his elbow hard into it's spine, leaving behind a pile of clothes, He quickly moves to the remaining three that are starting to get up again, and turns them each into a bright flash of green light) "Well, so much for my quiet evening!" (He grins. After picking up the vials, He then turns to the girl, and kneels beside her with a worried expression) "Are you ok?"

Girl: (She tries to get up) "…uh…" (She falls back with a grunt, evidently in a lot of pain)

Adrian: (Seeing cuts and bruises and evidence of broken ribs) "Whoa, easy there, your hurt." (He looks into amazingly green eyes) "I should get you to a hospital."

Girl: (She shuts her eyes against the pain, and gasping for air) "No! No hospital…please, you've got… to help me…Cybersix." (She coughs)

Adrian: (taking a quick breath as he pulls back, wide-eyed with shock) "What are you talking about? Who's Cybersix?"

Girl: (With a smile) "I know your…Cybersix, I can…read minds." (She coughs some more)

Adrian: (Frowning in suspicion) "Who are you? What do you want? And how do I know I can trust you?"

Girl: (Sadness shows on her face) "I'm the last…of a secret series…called the Special Cyber's…I've been…on my own…since Von Reichter…decided to terminate…us." (She coughs, wincing in pain)

Adrian: (His face softens with understanding) "Take it easy, you can tell me later, right now we need to get you taken care of."

Girl: (She smiles)

Adrian: (He picks her up) "Hang on." (And looking around, jumps up onto the nearest roof, and heads for his apartment)

Scene: (Inside Adrian's apartment, Cybersix puts the girl on her bed then goes to take off her disguise and get into something comfortable)

Cybersix: (Coming back into the room with a bunch of bandages and stuff to clean the wounds) "We'll tape your ribs first than check to make sure you don't have any other broken bones, and after that we'll clean those cuts, sound go to you?"

Girl: (She just nods)

Cybersix: (After tapping the girl's ribs, and while wrapping the sprained ankle) "Now you already know my name so, what's yours?" (Cybersix then starts cleaning and bandaging the girls cuts)

Girl: (With a disgusted look) "The designation Von Reichter gave me is: SC-3, it means Special Cyber number 3." (She smiles, then winces as she accidentally moves the wrong way) "But you can call me Amanda." (Gets into some pajamas with Cybersix's help, then sits back down on the bed)

Cybersix: (Looking into her startling green eyes) "Okay, Amanda," (She smiles, standing up) "you'll sleep here tonight and I'll take the couch." (Seeing Amanda was about to object, she frowns) "I'll not have you damage your ribs and that ankle any more by sleeping on the couch, so no arguments." (She smiles again to take away the harshness of her words) "Now, tomorrow we can talk more, but right now you need to sleep. The bathroom's just over there if you need it," (She points in the direction while helping Amanda into bed) "and I'll be over there if you need me," (She points to the couch) "ok? Good! Now, good night." (She closes the door then grabs a blanket and pillow from the closet and lies down on the couch)

Amanda: (She smiles) "Good night."

Scene: (Next day, about 11 o'clock, in Jose's lab, you see him typing out some sort of computer program)

Jose: (He stops typing) "Finished, now I just need one more thing to be able to implement my plan" (He grins evilly, then frowns as you hear a door close) "Report!"

Techno-2: (Trembling) "We found their clothes in a back ally sir, but there wasn't any vials."

Jose: (Pulling at his hair in anger) "ARGH…They must have run into Cybersix or that other one." (Calming down, he turns to the Techno) "Have the Fixed Idea's ready to go by noon, we're going into town."

Techno-2: "Yes sir." (He leaves)

Scene: (Earlier that morning in Cybersix's bedroom, you see Amanda waking up and can hear someone cooking in the kitchen. There's a knock on the door)

Amanda: (Sitting up with some difficulty) "Come in."

Cybersix: (Entering the room with a tray of food and a crutch, smiling) "I thought you'd be hungry when you woke up so I made you breakfast, and I brought you a crutch to use." (She leans the crutch against the bed and the puts the tray on the nightstand) "Here, you eat while I find you something to ware for today, and when you're done you can get changed, and then we can talk." (She leaves)

Amanda: (She takes the plate of food off the tray and starts eating the bacon and eggs, at the same time looking around the room)

Cybersix: (Walks back into the room a few minutes later with some clothes) "Here, they may be too big but they should do for now." (She gives them to Amanda)

Amanda: (Putting the plate back on the tray, she taking the clothes and puts them under her arm) "Thank you." (She then grabs the crutch and goes into the bathroom)

Cybersix: (She takes the tray into the kitchen, then comes back and makes the bed. By the time she' finished, Amanda comes back out in a gray long sleeve shirt, and a pair of black jeans, that are too big) "How do they fit?"

Amanda: (She smiles) "They'll do for now."

Cybersix: (She leads Amanda over to the couch and sits down) "Now you mentioned you're the last of your series and have been on your own for awhile. Do you mind telling me about it?" (She looks questionably at Amanda)

Amanda: (She sits down beside Cybersix) "Most of what I know, I know because I read it from someone's mind or I was told, the rest I had to find out on my own." (She looks away for a second then turns back) "My brothers and sisters and I came out of our tanks at about age five. There was only 500 of us in our series, we were created to be like the Cybers but stronger, faster, and with more agility, but also more obedient, in other words his perfect worriers, so he wouldn't need as many of us to take over the world." (She snorts in disgust) "Something must have gone wrong though, because according to him we were exactly like the Cybers, same strength, speed, and disobedience, with one exception, each one of us had developed a special talent after the first year. SC-1 could go through walls but SC-500 could melt things, I developed the ability to read minds. I was also different in the fact that my eyes, out of all 500 SC's, are the only ones that are green. Anyway, after the second year of our lives, in which we were trained to be solders, I guess Von Reichter didn't think our unexpected talents outweighed the fact that we were weaker and slower then he had designed us to be, and just as disobedient as the Cyber's were. He considered us failures, and gave the order for the complete termination of the series. I'm now the only one left, I don't even have a sibling in another body like you do." (At this she starts to cry)

Cybersix: (She puts her arm around Amanda) "You've got me now." (At Amanda's confused and startled expression) "You said Von Reichter created the SC series after the Cyber design right?" (Amanda nods, still confused) "Then in a way we're cousins and that would make Data 7 a cousin of yours too."

Amanda: (Realization donning) "Oh!"

Cybersix: (Frowning in curiosity) "So how did you manage to escape and survive this long?"

Amanda: "Well, during the two years I was in one of Von Reichter's labs the Techno, T-2301, would spend more time with me then any one of my other 9 brothers and sisters she had to take care of. She would read and talk with me in her spare time, about the world outside and when I developed the ability to read minds, she taught me how to control it. When we found out what Von Reichter was going to do, she made arrangements for me to go live with a nice family, far away from Von Reichter, with a bag of Sustenance vials. I don't know how she covered the fact that I was missing but nobody came after me when my brothers and sisters were terminated." (She pauses) "So I lived with the Montros's for 6 years, until there was a car accident and they were killed on their way to pick me up from school. I was then sent to live in an orphanage and after a few months they found me a new home. Somehow my foster parents accidentally found out I had super human strength, by then I had to go hunting for Sustenance, and when I leant they were planing to put me in the circus as a freak show I ran away. As soon as I could, I grabbed the things I'd most need and got as far away from them as I could. I've been living off the streets since then, moving from place to place, not daring to stay in one place too long. Then a week ago I was passing through a near by town and heard about all the weird things that have been happening here and I knew Von Reichter was involved, and realized that I could stock up on Sustenance here. It wasn't until I got into town that I learnt about a mysterious woman of the night with super human strength and speed, protecting the city. Then last night I ran into that group of Fixed Idea's, I didn't notice the Techno in the background, so it was when I read his thoughts that I got distracted and was overwhelmed. I was able to find out that it was a renegade Cyber protecting the city from Von Reichter's creations, from the Techno when I read his mind, because for a second he thought I was you. You arrived just as they had me down for the count, and it was after you defeated them, that I realized you were this Cyber, the mysterious woman of the night I had heard about and knew you could help me." (She looks at Cybersix with a worried expression) "You should also know, I found out Jose has a new plan to destroy you, and it's going to be soon."
