The One She Loved

Chapter 7: Dearest Diana


The bed was so comfortable, satin sheets and a soft comforter. A breeze blew and the white curtain that was around the bed gently touched Sonya's skin. She opened her eyes carefully; when she sat up she looked around the room she was in.

It was big, the walls were light blue and an open window looked out into a mountain valley.

The she noticed that someone had taken off her torn up clothes, and replaced it by a night gown. She looked over at the door as it opened; a woman roughly 30 came in. She looked at Sonya in silence then spook in a quiet voice.

"I see that ya are awake now young miss." Sonya got ready to defend herself, "Don't haste young 'un I ain't goin' to hurt ya. I'm sorry taw say that ya clothes wer quite ruined, so ye be needing to wear dis for a while." The woman put an elegant soft blue dress on the bed, Sonya gasped at its beauty. "I'll be leavin' now." The woman bowed and left Sonya alone again.

She looked at the dress then looked out the window again. "Joe, where am I, where are you." Sonya hugged her knees and rocked back and forth hoping that she was only dreaming. "Help me." she started to cry into her knees.

At the mansion............

"Sonya." Joe moaned, his head tossed side to side. His body hurt, pain was everywhere. "Sonya. Sonya!" his eyes shot open, he was in the medical room. He gasped for his breath.

He looked around for any sign of Sonya, he panicked when he saw Pyunma, Francoise, and Albert on the beds by him. They all looked terrible, worn out and wounded from the last night. Joe just then noticed he was shaking uncontrollably, he laid back down.

Dr. Gilmore and Dr. Koizumi both walked into the room with the remaining cyborgs, Joe tried to sit up. But, he was met by G.B.'s hand, he lightly pushed his friend back down.

"Good morning Joe, how---." Dr. Gilmore was cut off.

"Sonya, where is she?" Joe almost cried out urgently.

"I'm sorry Joe, but Black Ghost took her." Whispered Jet, he straight into Joe's scared eyes.

Joe's heartbeat quickened, his thoughts raced. "We have to go find her, before it's too late." He began to get out of bed. But, Jet caught him when he fell.

"You have to rest, bud" Jet helped his friend, he wanted to fight to go find her, but he gave it up and laid on the bed.

"Don't worry we'll find her." Said G.B. Dr. Gilmore went over to check the other cyborgs, Joe looked away from his friends to hide his salty tears.

Black Ghost's HQ..............

Sonya's hand hesitated over the door handle; she was wearing the dress the maid had given her, and her hair was up in a bun that was held by a white ribbon. Her hand wrapped around the brass knob and turned it. The door seemed to open it's self, when she stepped into the hall she saw that just to the right was a balcony that overlooked the main entrance.

She walked up to the banister and stared down at the main door.

"You can leave now, escape back into freedom." A sly voice came from behind her back.

"You would only chase me again." Sonya shivered as she felt a cold hand touch her bear shoulder. She turned to see a black skull, her expression was emotionless, but she felt so angry. "So, you're Black Ghost, I presume?"

"The one and only, and you are Sonya Himura, daughter of the Kana Himura and San Toko Himura. Also the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." He touched Sonya's cheek but she turned away.

"Don't touch me." Sonya snapped.

"Of course, I expected you were going to be like this." Sonya glared at Black Ghost.

"You're inhuman, how you turn innocent people into............cyborgs!"

Black Ghost laughed, it was such an evil laugh that it sent a shiver up and down Sonya's spine. "To you it maybe inhuman, even to others, but to me...........it's a piece of art. Every single cyborg, each one different it's my life's masterpiece. Am I not right Helen?"

"Yes, master." A young girl appeared around the corner and came to Black Ghost's side. She smiled at Sonya cunningly, "Why aren't you a pretty birdie. Is she yours, master?" Helen wore a smoky white flowing dress, and her blonde hair was up in a high bun.

"I am no one's property." Hissed Sonya, glaring at the young girl.

"For now at least." Helen laughed.

"0020 please get me a tick." Helen bowed and glided away down the stairs. "Come Sonya, I want to show you something." Black Ghost held out his arm, Sonya didn't take it instead she started down the stairs. Black Ghost followed almost smiling.

Dr. Koizumi's mansion.................

Joe crept down the stairs, almost with a limp.

"Where do you think you're going." Asked Albert, leaning against the wall on the landing.

Joe sighed and turned around, "Look I really love Sonya, and I really really love her. And I don't want to sit around and wait. I'm going to find her and no one is going to stop me."

"Well, at least bring us along for the ride." Joe looked behind him and saw all the cyborgs even Francoise and Pyunma. "We're not letting you go alone; you'll just take all the credit." Jet said. Joe smiled, and all the cyborgs went to the dolphin and left.

Black Ghost's HQ..............

Sonya stopped behind Black Ghost when they got to a metal door.

"Come." He said as he took her arm inside was a huge lab. Scientists were busy at work; she looked into tanks that lined the walls. Bubbles were floating up in every one of them.

"What is this place?" gasped Sonya.

"The birth place of many successful cyborg creations." Black Ghost said with the purest pride.

"You're going to make me a cyborg too, aren't you?" Sonya asked nervous as hell.

"Yes, but not yet. I want to wait for some good friends of ours. If you know what I mean." Black Ghost walked out of the lab, leaving Sonya with a hand over her mouth.

20 minutes later................

"There it is!" yelled out Francoise pointing to a mansion in the middle of no where.

"Are you sure that's Black Ghost's Headquarters?" asked GB unsure, as he looked down as the innocent looking mansion.

"Yes, I can here the guard's talkies from here." Francoise assured the others.

"Are they saying anything about Sonya?" asked Joe hyper for answers.

"No, nothing at the moment. They're only talking about how uptight Black Ghost is." Everyone looked at Francoise, "They're saying how he's being ridiculous to let his guard down." Francoise stopped as she used her powers to listen to the conversation, "They say that ever since she came he's been acting very oddly by showing her all of his secrets."

"Sonya." Thought Pyunma out loud, everyone thought the same exact thing.

Jet turned the Dolphin invisible as they went in the borders of Black Ghost. They knew that he sensed them though.

Sonya sat on the chair that was placed in the middle of the room. She was quiet and still as she though of what Black Ghost had told her a minute ago, "Stay here, don't move, don't make a sound. When you friends come don't move or, unless you want to die a fast death Don't speak unless you want me to kill 009." He told her as 0020 put a tick looking device behind her pearl locket that Black Ghost had put on her.

She heard them they landed on the roof, but she didn't look up. She only blinked a few times and her breathing quickened. 'They're so close, yet so far.' Her thoughts cried out. Her legs leaned to the side, and she sat straight up. She was in a white satin dress that had a train. On her hands were white satin gloves. She wore white eye shadow and her lips had a tint of white on it from the lip stick. "You should look nice for your boyfriend." Black Ghost had said almost in a tease.

She could hear their running foot steps in the hall, and then she saw lasers. They were shooting the guards or shocking them. Then there they were all nine, Ivan, Jet, Francoise, Albert, Geronimo, Chang, G.B., Pyunma, and..............Joe. He looked at her she looked back.

"Sonya!" Joe cried out to his girlfriend, his..................love. His heart skipped a beat, 'she's still alive, and she's not a cyborg.'

Sonya opened her mouth to answer him, but then remembered Black Ghost's warning and closed her mouth again and looked down at the marble floor.

"Sonya?" Joe cried, he took a step forward then stopped, hearing someone speak.

"Stay boy." 0020 spook as she came out from behind a pillar. She was wearing black leather pants and a red tank. Her hair was up in a pony tail. "Unless you want you girlfriend blow into millions of bloody pieces."

"What do you mean." Shot Albert, before Joe could say anything.

"See that pretty locket she's wearing." Everyone looked at what was around Sonya's neck. "It has a tick, a manual bomb, connected to it. If you try to touch her, she dies, if she tries to speak to you, she dies, She tries to get up to run, she dies. Get it." 0020 laughed as all the cyborgs but 001 gulped.

"What do you want?" asked Ivan as he telepathically spook to Helen. But, she didn't answer, instead Black Ghost said as he appeared behind Sonya. It sent a shiver up her back feeling him hover over her.

"I want you; I want all of you cyborgs to join me in the destruction of the world."

"Never." Growled Joe.

"She's a pretty girl 009, she reminds me of my dearest Diana. She was also young when she was killed. They had no reason to kill her, they just did. They said because she was in the way." Black Ghost looked at Joe, "She did a good job, Sonya, by getting into the mansion and getting close to you." Joe's eyes widened, "she didn't know she was only part of the plan. Part of all of this, she thought I was after her to turn her into a cyborg. That was only half of it; I really wanted you 009, you and your friends." Black Ghost stroked Sonya's cheek.

"Don't touch her." Joe barked to Black Ghost.

Black Ghost bent down to Sonya's ear and whispered, "don't do anything." He then kissed her cheek, Joe glared at him. Then Black Ghost did the unthinkable he kissed Sonya on the lips. Her own eyes along with everyone else's, even Helen's, went wide.

Sonya wanted him to stop; tears fell from her eyes when she blinked. She didn't dare to return the kiss, but he wouldn't stop he brought her closer to him. But, she still didn't do anything, she was too scared to. Then he pulled away, Sonya took slow heavy breathes and more tears fell down her cheeks each time she blinked.

Joe shook with anger as he looked from Black Ghost's entertained face, then to Sonya as her tears slipped down her cheeks.

"Now what are you going to do, 009? I touched her." Black Ghost laughed.

Joe's knuckles went white as he made fists, "Stay calm Joe, he wants you to attack him." Whispered Jet.

"I know, but he forced himself on her." Joe hissed as he whispered back.

"Just relax; we'll get back at him."

"009," Joe looked up at Black Ghost with a dirty look. "Let's make a deal, you beat 0020 and I'll all of you go."

"And if we lose." Asked Joe carefully.

"If you lose, you and your friends be part of my army, obey me, and I can do whatever I want to Sonya. Even if it means I decide to kill her." Helen started toward the group of cyborgs, getting excited for a fight.

Joe stared at Black Ghost, then to Sonya. "009." 001's voice came to Joe's mind.

"Don't tell me not to fight." Joe thought.

"I'm not going to; I want you to make the decision. But, whatever you do Black Ghost will attempt to kill her, even you know that." 001 told 009.

"Yea, I know.......That's why......." Joe finished the sentence out loud. "I will fight 0020."

"Great." Helen exclaimed going toward Joe.

Hey One more chapter, heh =D
