"Okay in five minutes we are going to send in a three person recon team to see what the landing site is like. 003, 0021 please go on top of that casino so that you may be our lookouts. The rest of you, be on standby in case things go bad." Major Klitznova was looking in charge, even though Jedi could have pulled rank, he didn't have the experience, and well, he was still a little bewildered.
As he and Francoise got into the elevator to go to the roof of the casino that was called the "Golden Sunrise", Jedi tried to sort through everything that had happened.
It had only been two days. Two days since he had awakened to find himself in the future. A future where he was completely different. He was now a weapon. That was his only function, and had been treated as such. The only person that hadn't treated him that way had been General Redding. What am I supposed to do? Fight? Run? If I fight, I may die. If I don't fight though, millions may die, including those whom I.....
Jedi lashed out and punched the door of the elevator as they reached the top floor, he was crying. He didn't know why, but from deep down inside all the emotions that he should have felt from being shoved around, and having to fight just popped up, and overwhelmed him.
"What's wrong Jedi? If you are thinking about the past fifty years, don't. I've been through the same thing, and if you start down that path you may lose yourself. Please, for me, don't go down that path, believe me, I went through the same thing, except I didn't have to wake up to this."
Jedi looked up, startled. He had forgotten about her standing there. He looked down sheepishly, he had vowed many years ago never to let his anger get the better of him, and he had just forgotten. "I'm sorry, it's just that I haven't really had any time to adjust to being in the future, being a cyborg, and the fact that my home is being threatened to be destroyed by aliens."
"I understand. Here, you go stand on that side and keep a look out, and I will go over here." She motioned to the farside of the building, it was the side that offered the worst view of the landing zone. As Jedi began walking over to the site, he began to feel woozy.
"Ugh. Francoise, help! I don't feel so good." Jedi said as he fell to the ground.
"Jedi! Jedi! 009 can you come up here, Jedi has gone unconscious." ----------------------------------------------------------------------
"0021! 0021! Listen!"
"Huh? Who's there?! Show yourself!" Jedi looked all around him, but all he could see was black.
"0021, you will look at your master when he speaks to you!" Before him materialized a figure clad in black with a cape.
"Ah! Just who are you! And I didn't know that I had girlfriend!"
"You dolt! I should send the signal to destroy you know, but I won't since that would only help those despicable 00 cyborgs out. Now you listen to me, I am Black Ghost."
"Black Ghost!! But Redding said that you were destroyed!"
"Hah! I am never destroyed. Now you listen to me. You are right outside of one of the landing zones for the invasion fleet. Now if you can sabotage the resistance to our invasion, I'll see to it that you are given the North American continent to do with as you please. You can run it just the same as it is now, or you can use it as your personal play toy, your choice."
"What if I refuse? What if I decide to defend my home and not let it be taken?"
"Don't make me laugh. The Dortde have been outfitted with the best of our weaponry. And you aren't even advanced enough to be a bother for them. Do you even know how advanced you are?"
"Yes. They scanned me that I had a lot of abilities." From nowhere he reproduced the plastpaper that had told him what his specialties were. He handed it to Black Ghost.
"They missed one major thing. You are not a cyborg, you are an android. The only thing left to you that is human is your mind, and even then we made enhancements."
"How? When I was told about what happened, it sounded like you barely got anything done before your pilot sent me to the moon."
"Yes, but what you, nor anyone else would know about the little robots that were in your tube. Sure, while you were on Earth, you were given the standard cyborg package, but while on the moon, you were worked on by trillions of nanobots. For fifty years they were able work away at your flesh, turning every cell into a weapon. Sorry to say that you aren't the only person that survived."
"What?"
"Heh, do you remember a certain person that you saved? Well, a few months after you were taken, she tried to comit suicide because the one guy that she wanted to go to prom with her was no longer among us. We intercepted her, and she has been with us ever since. She is your equal now, and has been bent to our side. If you come with us, I will introduce you to her, and you will be able to live with her on your own continent. So what do you say?"
"You never answered my question. What if I refuse?"
"Well, my boy, we won't talk about that, since you wouldn't like the end of your life, now would you?"
"Why you little!" Jedi raised his hand and prepared himself to fire everything at Black Ghost.
Click
"Hah! That won't work here, because you are in your mind. Only weapons that you have in your mind will work here."
"That's it you little bastard! I have had enough of your games, I am going to put an end to you right now!" And with that Jedi looked at his arm and imagined it turning into a powerful cannon, a cannon that would fire the most volatile thing known to man, antimatter.
"Try to stop this!" Jedi said as a giant ball of energy formed, holding back the antimatter. All of a sudden it let loose.
"Yes, that's it, you must harness your power if you are to become evil. Good-bye! 0021, or should I say, Android 001!"
------------------------------------------------------------------
"He's awakening." 003 called out.
"Hmm, his pulse is racing, and he is sweating really bad. I say that he should stay still for a few hours." 009, who had been trained by Gilmore to recognize the cyborg vitals, and how to treat most of the common problems.
"Umm, folks, we really need 003 to be watching over our recon team." Klitznova was standing over them, tapping her foot in impatience.
"I'm okay, I'll help with the recon team also"
"Mon Dieu! You don't even want to look." Francoise looked away in horror and threw up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
