Cyborg 009: A Painful Past
Fanfiction One: The Sea
By: Sweet Dark Angel 009
Summary: This fic is based on Caroline B. Cooney's Fog. If you've ever read her book, then you know that this fic is going to be filled with angst, suspense, and horror. The only difference is the characters. Francoise will be a mixture of Christina and Anya.
The fic is about Francoise, who is the main character. She receives a poster with a ballerina who looks like her. Slowly, she starts losing her mind. The painful memories from the past comes back to her and she starts to fall in depression. The men do not understand what is happening and soon conclude that Black Ghost is behind it all.
This fic is everything but happy. It's going to be confusing but I'll try to explain everything and I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Cyborg 009 or Caroline B. Cooney's wonderful Losing Christina trilogy. I respect her plot so that means that there will be many changes. The only thing that is going to be the same is that Francoise, like Anya, loses her mind and gets a poster. Everything else ( Besides the 00 Cyborgs) therefore, belong to me.
Author's Note:
Hello everyone! It is I, Sweet Dark Angel 009. This is my second fic based on Cyborg 009. Since I have been reading the Losing Christina trilogy which is Fog, Snow, and Fire, I have become inspired to write a fic based on Fog using the 00 Cyborgs as the characters. This fic is based on the first of the trilogy which is Fog. If you have ever read Fog ( which is a work of art, mind you), then you will understand the whole poster and losing mind thing. Lots of angst and sadness in this fic, which I hope for. I'll try to work on my other fic as well and I hope you all like it.
Enjoy,
SDA 009
P.S Please review to tell me what you think! Thank you for your time!
Chapter One
The Poster
It was a quiet afternoon in the lonely sunny beach. It was a private beach which was owned by Dr. Kazumi, a man who had made a lot of money in his job. He shared his large beach house with ten ordinary people. Well, at least one ordinary person, to be exact.
Dr. Gilmore, was one of them. He also had once worked as a 'scientist' in the same place that Dr. Kazumi had once worked at. He was an old man probably in his fifties. He had large black eyes and a large nose. He had tan skin and light hair. He was quite short, like Dr. Kazumi. He was an intelligent man and he was absolutely brilliant in any kind of science.
001 was another person, or baby, who lived in the house. He was quite small and innocent. He was always sleeping silently in his basket in the living room. His light blue hair covers his eyes and he has pale skin. But this body of an innocent baby was quite deceiving. The young baby, Ivan, was a cyborg. He was an intelligent cyborg with the knowledge of an average adult. Actually, greater then that to be exact. He was a cyborg like every other person living here not including Dr.Kazumi and Dr. Gilmore. Ivan has incredible powers which always come in handy. He was called 001, his code name. He's also Russian.
002 also lived there. He was an average teenage New Yorker living in Japan. His anger always got the best of him at times. He was also a cyborg named Jet Links. He has strange red hair, dark eyes, and pale skin. His nose resembled a hawk or eagle's beak representing his country, USA. He could also fly like an eagle at an incredible speed. His code name is 002 and he was a valued member of the team. He was a big gangster in New York before he was turned into what he was today.
003, Francoise Arnoul, was the only female living in the beach house. She's a young French teenage cyborg who has incredible eyesight and hearing. She's a kind hearted girl and she's perfect in every way. She's a very pretty eighteen year old. She has golden like hair that glistened in the sun, eyes that resembled the tropical ocean before them, and pale skin like any other French girl. Her dream was to become a ballerina and she was very educated. She's very sweet and graceful. Who knew that this gorgeous girl's life would forever change?
004, Albert, was another man living in the house. He was an adult who had lost his precious wife years ago before he became a cyborg. His whole body was a weapon which makes him very valuable to the team. He had light silver hair and amazing blue eyes. His skin was pale, like any other German. He was a very nice man who makes him a good leader and his quick thinking and tactics usually got the 00 Cyborgs out of the dreadful clutches of Black Ghost.
005 was once a peaceful Native American in Arizona. Now that he has been made into a cyborg, he has the strength of a thousand men! He's very tall and powerful. His slightly scary appearance has nothing to do with his gentle, sweet personality. He's very in tune with his spiritual and natural side. He's very tall and has dark eyes and skin. He's another valuable member of the 00 Cyborg team. His name is Geronimo Jr.
006 is a pudgy Chinese cook. His ability to shot fire out of his mouth like a dragon, makes him a great cook. The fire can go through almost everything. He's very short and overweight. He has black hair and he's so overweight, you can hardly see his eyes. He has pale skin. His name is Chang.
007 was once a talented British actor known as Great Britain or G.B for short. His ability is to morph to anything at the push of his bellybutton. This ability always came in handy in battles against Black Ghost. He's a bald man with a good sense of humor. He has dark eyes and pale skin. Even his appearance is quite funny.
008, Pyunma, was a soldier back in a small country in Africa. He's the only one with that kind of training in war which makes him a great member of the team. He can swim in a great speed for long periods of time without air. He has dark skin, dark eyes, and light blond hair. He's always optimistic and nice.
009, Joe Shimamura, was the leader of the team. He's very advanced and has all the abilities the other cyborgs have. He can fight and move at great speeds and has super strength. He's very compassionate and sweet. He has chestnut hair that covers one of his crimson eyes and tan skin. He's tall and quite attractive. He's half Japanese.
All of these strange and different people got along and could live in one household in harmony. They all had the same purpose in life after being changed into a cyborg:
Bring Black Ghost's association down.
Black Ghost was the cause of all of their problems. They were the ones who forever changed their peaceful lives. Black Ghost's association makes ultimate weapons to conquer the world and cause chaos between many countries. Black Ghost himself is evil and has sinister plans to destroy the world.
That's why the 00 Cyborgs, instead of helping Black Ghost and serve their purpose as the ultimate weapons, became the rebellions. Now, they are fighting to protect the world from Black Ghost's evil forces.
But now, they settled in a normal human like life with Dr. Kazumi in his serene beach. It was nice to be living a normal life and not to worry about some crazy villain creating male cyborgs to destroy the world. Including the 00 Cyborgs themselves. But that wouldn't last for long...........
*****
Like before, it was just a quiet afternoon in the serene beach. Baby Ivan was sleeping in the living room. Dr. Kazumi and Dr. Gilmore were both reading and studying. The men, or the male 00 Cyborgs, were all outside playing a good game of volleyball. Chang was just watching, since he wasn't fond of sports.
The men were separated into groups. The first group was Joe, Albert, and Jet. The second group was G.B, Pyunma, and Geronimo Jr. Obviously, with Albert's tactics, the first group was beating the second one badly.
"Give up," Jet said with a goofy smile.
"Oh no my fellow friend," G.B said," why don't we finish what we started?"
Jet sighed and just smiled. He liked challenges. Joe rolled his crimson eyes. It was just a game. G.B didn't even take a battle against Black Ghost this seriously.
On top of a cliff, stood a petite figure. A pretty girl stood there, almost at the edge. She didn't notice this, of course. Francoise was so deep in thought that it was hard to even notice such things. The wind blew her golden like hair and her golden hair danced. Her short pink sleeveless dress with white cherry blossoms on it also danced with the wind. The sunny sun made her golden hair glow. Her eyes matched that of the far tropical ocean. The sea roared.
Birds and such could be heard from every corner along with the crashing waves. Her arms went around her shoulders and she closed her eyes. She also heard a loud discussion between Jet and G.B. She rolled her cute eyes. Her thoughts drifted back to those nice moments back in France. Her heart ached. Oh how she missed Jean Paul!
It just brought bittersweet memories just to think about her handsome older brother. How she loved him so much! It brought tears to her eyes. Her dear brother who had given up most of his life for her and her dancing. He always wanted her to be a ballerina in a nice academy. She was his ballerina. His little sister. Her ocean blue-green eyes filled with sorrowful tears.
How she hated Black Ghost for taking those people she loved the most away!
She didn't know what she would do without her team mates. Those men she lived with had become a sort of family to her. She loved them all as brothers. She blushed suddenly. She didn't know if it was because of the breeze or something else. There was a certain someone she loved more then a team mate and brother. She blushed.
She watched the waves. She loved the ocean. It amazed her. How it had feelings of it's own. It could be furious one minute and then serene the other. The serene sound and the tropical smell in produced. It was just amazing. So nice it was just to stand on top of a high cliff like she was now.
" Fraaannncccooiiiisssseeee," The ocean roared.
She raised an eyebrow.
Am I imagining this? she thought.
" Frrrrraaaannnnccccooooiiisssseee," It repeated.
She gasped. It wasn't her imagination. She heard it so clearly. The ocean was speaking to her. It was beckoning her to join him. She took a step forward, doing anything the ocean wanted her to do. She shook her head.
What am I doing? she thought.
This is silly! The ocean does not speak in words!
" Frrrraaaannnnccccooooiiiiseee," The ocean said. The waves splashed in fury. It wanted her. It wanted her to join it. It wanted to soothe her and keep her secrets.
She took another step forward. Her eyes went wide. She wasn't controlling her actions anymore. The ocean, with all it's might, was controlling her. The sea wanted her. It wanted her as it's mighty treasure. She would be it's treasure. She would grant it's wish. She knew, that if she took two more steps forward, she would fall and be the ocean's treasure. She tried to stop herself.
"What do you want?" She asked the ocean. The sea. She started shaking. She felt the ocean's water spray on her dress and sandals. She felt it's coldness. Harshness.
I won't be the sea's treasure! Francoise thought, determined. But the sea knew her thoughts. And the sea was proud and powerful. Anything it wanted, it got. It wanted Francoise. It wanted her to be it's treasure.
But I'm also strong, Francoise thought, I'm granite.
I'm strong like it. She nodded. She tried to take a step back but her body wouldn't allow her to do so. Her body has given in to the wonderful powerful ocean. But her mind didn't. Her mind had to control everything but yet it didn't. She couldn't even scream. She couldn't call her friends from below to save her from the sea. Her voice even belonged to the ocean.
The sea was jealous. It wouldn't allow her to talk to anyone but him, the sea. The sea didn't want her to think about anything but himself.
" What do you want?" Francoise asked again. She was scared and she knew the sea liked that. It enjoyed it. It enjoyed watching her trying to escape.
It roared, as if it was laughing. Laughing in a loud, harsh, and sinister way. It send shivers down her spine. She tried to look down to her friends so she could at least get their attention. But her gorgeous eyes also belonged to the ocean. It had always belonged to it. Her eyes were that of the ocean. She couldn't even hear the shouts coming from her friends. Even her abilities belonged to the ocean.
" Vous mon cher ," The sea roared, in her own language. He spoke in French, not wanting anyone but terrified Francoise to understand his powerful words. It wanted her. It moved her legs towards him. It brought her close to his power and harshness. She couldn't scream when she was only a step away from the ocean. Below her it laughed and it roared in delight.
The sea wanted Francoise. It wanted her. And it would do anything to have her as it's treasure...........
*****
Joe's crimson eyes searched for the mysterious beauty. They were taking a short break from their game. Joe couldn't find Francoise anywhere. He sat on the sand and he looked everywhere for her until, to his horror, found Francoise on top of a cliff. She was so close to the edge, that she was about to fall.
" My God," He exclaimed, " Francoise! What are you doing?"
The men looked up and their eyes went wide to find the French little girl on top of a cliff and about to fall. They all jumped to their feet.
" Francoise!" They all yelled at the top of their lungs. But she couldn't hear a thing.
" FRANCOISE!" Joe yelled.
She was taking a step forward and just one more step would make her fall. And then she would meet death. Joe was never so scared or horrified.
" STOP IT FRANCOISE! COME TO YOUR SENSES," Joe yelled.
" Don't die on us yet!" G.B yelled.
" Joe, do something!" Chang said, frantically. Joe almost slapped himself. It had just occurred to him that he was no average eighteen year old boy. This attractive half Japanese boy was a cyborg and had what everyone called an Accelerator Mode. If he just clicked his back tooth, the world would go in slow motion and he could avoid a tragedy from happening. He could save his Francoise!
Joe nodded and clicked his back tooth. The world went slow, almost stopped to be exact. He ran and jumped on top of the cliff. He took Francoise in his arms, who was soaking wet. He carried her back down with the rest of the cyborgs to safety. He clicked the back of his tooth again to make everything go back to normal.
Francoise's scared eyes stared up at Joe and she cried on his broad chest. The men were in confusion and didn't know where to begin.
The sea started roaring in anger and loss. Francoise kept on shaking and couldn't control her tears or her shaking. Joe stared at Francoise in compassion and love. He was so terrified. He almost lost her.
" Francoise-" Joe started.
" The sea wants me, Joe," She said, her voice quiet and gentle.
" What?" Jet said, " Francoise? What do you mean?"
" The sea wants me," She repeated.
" Come again?" G.B asked.
" It talked to me. It controlled me. It wants me. It wants me as it's treasure," She said. She was not crying anymore. She was emotionless. Her voice was dull and her gorgeous eyes that were usually so happy and full of life seemed the opposite of that.
" Uh, let's get you inside," Chang said, nervously.
" You need to rest," Pyunma agreed.
" I can't escape the wrath of the sea," She said.
" Francoise," Albert said and shook his head.
They think I'm insane! Francoise thought.
It'll be too late by the time they believe me. I'll belong to the sea and I'll be it's mighty treasure by then...................
*****
Francoise woke up in her soft pink four poster bed. She blinked and stared at her surroundings. She couldn't remember what had happened earlier. She stared at the clock hanging on oak wall. It was late and almost time for dinner. She rubbed her eyes.
What had happened earlier? she thought.
She stared down at her clothes and found that she was wearing her short red silky night dress. She raised an eyebrow.
I could have sworn that I was wearing another dress, she thought. She shrugged and slipped her slippers on. She stretched her arms and covered her mouth with her hand as she yawned.
Why am I so tired? she thought as she walked outside her door. She found the pleasing aroma of roast beef and any other food coming from the dinning room. She smiled but first walked inside the bathroom to wash her face. After that, she walked over to the dinning room. There was silence once she entered the room.
Eyes of concern stared at her. She raised an eyebrow.
" Francoise, dear," Dr. Gilmore said," Are you okay?"
" Of course, " She said, frowning slightly, " Why wouldn't I?"
She sat on her usual chair in between Joe and Jet.. Everyone stared at each other, confused.
I don't get it, Francoise thought.
Which was the same thought everyone else had in mind.
" You mean you don't remember anything?" Pyunma asked.
" What do you mean? Should I remember something? All I remember is that I woke up, ate breakfast, watched T.V with Ivan, put Ivan to sleep and-" She paused. There was a long pause.
" Strange. I don't remember a thing that happened in the afternoon," She said.
" You took a nap?" G.B suggested.
" Yes that's it," She said, smiling.
" So you don't remember what happened with the sea?" Geronimo asked.
" No. But doesn't it look so nice today? The sea is just marvelous! I was thinking of going up that tall cliff to watch it. But I guess I fell asleep," She said. The men turned pale.
" Francoise," Joe said, " That cliff is dangerous. Don't you ever go up there."
" I know it's dangerous but only from there will I be able to watch the sea's beauty and fury," She said, with a twinkle in her eyes.
Oh no, Joe thought, don't go talking about the sea again.
" Anyway, we played a nice game of volleyball today," Jet said.
" You did?" She asked.
" Don't you-" Jet started but from his other side, Albert kicked him. Jet knew what that kick meant.
" Yes," Albert said, " Joe, Jet, and I won."
" That's wonderful," She said with a smile.
The dinner went off nicely with no more talk about the sea. Francoise couldn't believe all she missed during those hours of sleep.
No, she thought, I know I didn't go to sleep that long.
Something happened, I know it did. And I, Francoise Arnoul, will find out..........
*****
"Francoise?" A gentle voice said.
Francoise was headed to her room but then turned around to find Joe.
" Yes Joe?" She replied.
" Are you sure your feeling all right?" He asked.
" Of course," She said, smiling.
" Well," Joe said, " We need groceries and I said I would go tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?"
" Of course I would," Francoise said. She smiled at the attractive boy.
" I'm leaving early," He said.
" It's okay. I want to come with you," She said.
" Good," He said. He planted a tender kiss on her forehead.
" I'm happy your okay," He said. She giggled.
" Goodnight," He said, kissing her tender forehead again.
" Goodnight Joe," She said.
She watched him walk to the room next to hers, which was his. How grand Joe was! He was a hero. Her hero. He was so courageous and strong. He was brave and compassionate. It was like he had come out of a made up book or TV series. He was so amazing and handsome. She blushed and walked to the bathroom to wash her teeth and face.
But the horror seemed to be over but it was only the beginning. The sea was proud and brave. Mighty and strong. Anything it wanted, it got. It wanted Francoise. It was going to have Francoise. Francoise was it's treasure. A hidden treasure that no pirate would ever find. But Francoise was granite, she wouldn't give in to the sea.
But the mighty sea never gave up. It would fight until it claimed it's treasure................
*****
The next morning, it was sunny and bright. The birds sang a sweet melody and the sound of the waves and the sea was so serene. Francoise had changed into a baby blue miniskirt which has white blossoms on the hem. She wore a matching baby blue sleeveless shirt with white blossoms on the hem as well. She put on white and blue platform shoes ( I have these). She wore a couple of blue bracelets and a golden necklace with a white blossom on it. She sprayed some perfume and applied delicate make up.
She applied a perfect amount of lip gloss and brushed her golden like hair and put a baby blue head band. She walked out her room with a baby blue purse. Joe was outside her room and he smiled at the pretty girl.
" You look great," He said smiling, taking her hand in his.
" Why thank you Joe. You don't look so bad yourself," She said, her finger playing with his blue vest. He blushed but smiled kindly at her.
" Thank you, Francoise. Why don't we get going?" He asked her. She smiled and nodded. He led her out of the house and into Dr. Kazumi's car. Joe started the car and it roared to life; like the furious sea. He drove out the private beach and into the small town where the supermarket was at. They parked in the parking lot and turned the car off. They walked out of the car and walked over to the market.
They got a cart and walked through every aisle in search of all the things in the large list Chang had written himself. They filled it with everything they needed and walked over to a free cashier in line number 3. Once they were done, they grabbed the bags and walked outside.
" Phew, that was long," Francoise said.
" I know I-"
"Mon Dieu," An elderly person said. He walked over to Francoise and put a hand on her cheek. Francoise stared at him, strangely.
"Il ne peut pas être," He said. Joe stared strangely at the man who had his old hand on Francoise's rosy cheek.
" Petite fille, vous ressemblez tellement à quelqu'un," He said.
" Je ?" She said.
" Oui," He replied, " have this, my dear."
He handed her a poster. She stared at the man, confused but he just smiled warmly at her.
" L'ont mon cher, " He said, " c'est une affiche du trésor France perdue et veut en arrière de façon ou d'autre. Un trésor que vous ressemblez à aussi."
"Merci," She said, smiling. The man planted a soft kiss on her hand.
" Salut, fille douce," The man said.
" Vous trop monsieur," She replied and the man waved.
" Au revoir," He said.
" Au revoir."
The man disappeared in the crowd and Joe stared at Francoise strangely.
" Why don't we go home?" He said.
" Yes," Francoise said, staring in the distance for the mysterious French man. Joe took her hand and led her back to the car.
A treasure France has lost, she thought, and wants back. What could that be?
But Francoise never thought that she might be that treasure that France wants back. Not only France but the mighty sea........
*****
" So," Jet said, " let me get this straight. A man out of no where gave you a poster? I don't get it."
They were in the dining table eating breakfast and Joe had just finished telling everyone about the strange man and the poster. It was hard to believe of course.
" Yes," Francoise said, cradling Ivan in her arms.
" But what did he tell you?" Albert asked
" He was speaking in French. He said that I look like a treasure France lost and wants back," She said.
" A treasure?" The men all said.
" Yes," She said, " I don't uunderstand it myself."
" Why don't you get the poster?" Pyunma suggested.
" Yes," Geronimo said.
" Then we can see what this old guy meant," G.B said.
" Okay," She said.
She handed Ivan to Joe and walked over to her room and grabbed the poster. She sat back down and the man watch anxiously as she took the rubber band off and unrolled the poster. She gasped as she got a good look of the mysterious poster.
She covered her mouth with her hand and handed the poster to Joe. Joe's eyes widened.
In the poster, it was a dark night and a lone petite figure dressed as a ballerina danced on the top of a tall cliff in back of a silver and yellow thunderbolt. The sea was roaring and it seamed angry. The girl with golden like hair in the poster and pale skin was so close to the edge and couldn't notice this since her eyes were close. The sea was the color of black, white, and dark green. The sky was pitch black except for the yellow and silver thunderbolt in the background. It was the only light and the girl was dancing in a thunderstorm.
When everyone got a good look at it, their eyes went wide. Francoise jumped to her feet and she started to shake, like the day before.
" I'm the treasure France lost and wants back! That's why the sea wants me! It wants to take me home! I'm it's treasure!" Francoise said, in tears.
The men didn't know what to say. They just stared at the poster and at Francoise.
" The sea wants me," Francoise's voice was dull and emotionless like before, " It can have me. I'm it's treasure. I will be it's mighty treasure. I will belong to the sea and to France."
Outside, the sea roared. It roared, as if it was laughing. In a sinister, cruel way. The sea wanted her. It was going to have her. She was the lost treasure and the sea will claim it's lost treasure...............
THE SEA IS GRANITE. IT WILL HAVE FRANCOISE AS IT'S MIGHTY TREASURE....................
TO BE CONTINUED......................

AN:
So what did you think? Did you like it? I love the sea and I describe it in a strange way. Review and tell me what you think! There will be a bit of fluff between Joe and Francoise, of course but this story is not going to be like my other Cyborg 009 fic since that one is more of a romance story. This is more of a horrow/angst story. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter and I will have the next chapter as soon as I can!
Thank you,

Fanfiction One: The Sea
By: Sweet Dark Angel 009
Summary: This fic is based on Caroline B. Cooney's Fog. If you've ever read her book, then you know that this fic is going to be filled with angst, suspense, and horror. The only difference is the characters. Francoise will be a mixture of Christina and Anya.
The fic is about Francoise, who is the main character. She receives a poster with a ballerina who looks like her. Slowly, she starts losing her mind. The painful memories from the past comes back to her and she starts to fall in depression. The men do not understand what is happening and soon conclude that Black Ghost is behind it all.
This fic is everything but happy. It's going to be confusing but I'll try to explain everything and I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Cyborg 009 or Caroline B. Cooney's wonderful Losing Christina trilogy. I respect her plot so that means that there will be many changes. The only thing that is going to be the same is that Francoise, like Anya, loses her mind and gets a poster. Everything else ( Besides the 00 Cyborgs) therefore, belong to me.
Author's Note:
Hello everyone! It is I, Sweet Dark Angel 009. This is my second fic based on Cyborg 009. Since I have been reading the Losing Christina trilogy which is Fog, Snow, and Fire, I have become inspired to write a fic based on Fog using the 00 Cyborgs as the characters. This fic is based on the first of the trilogy which is Fog. If you have ever read Fog ( which is a work of art, mind you), then you will understand the whole poster and losing mind thing. Lots of angst and sadness in this fic, which I hope for. I'll try to work on my other fic as well and I hope you all like it.
Enjoy,
SDA 009
P.S Please review to tell me what you think! Thank you for your time!
Chapter One
The Poster
It was a quiet afternoon in the lonely sunny beach. It was a private beach which was owned by Dr. Kazumi, a man who had made a lot of money in his job. He shared his large beach house with ten ordinary people. Well, at least one ordinary person, to be exact.
Dr. Gilmore, was one of them. He also had once worked as a 'scientist' in the same place that Dr. Kazumi had once worked at. He was an old man probably in his fifties. He had large black eyes and a large nose. He had tan skin and light hair. He was quite short, like Dr. Kazumi. He was an intelligent man and he was absolutely brilliant in any kind of science.
001 was another person, or baby, who lived in the house. He was quite small and innocent. He was always sleeping silently in his basket in the living room. His light blue hair covers his eyes and he has pale skin. But this body of an innocent baby was quite deceiving. The young baby, Ivan, was a cyborg. He was an intelligent cyborg with the knowledge of an average adult. Actually, greater then that to be exact. He was a cyborg like every other person living here not including Dr.Kazumi and Dr. Gilmore. Ivan has incredible powers which always come in handy. He was called 001, his code name. He's also Russian.
002 also lived there. He was an average teenage New Yorker living in Japan. His anger always got the best of him at times. He was also a cyborg named Jet Links. He has strange red hair, dark eyes, and pale skin. His nose resembled a hawk or eagle's beak representing his country, USA. He could also fly like an eagle at an incredible speed. His code name is 002 and he was a valued member of the team. He was a big gangster in New York before he was turned into what he was today.
003, Francoise Arnoul, was the only female living in the beach house. She's a young French teenage cyborg who has incredible eyesight and hearing. She's a kind hearted girl and she's perfect in every way. She's a very pretty eighteen year old. She has golden like hair that glistened in the sun, eyes that resembled the tropical ocean before them, and pale skin like any other French girl. Her dream was to become a ballerina and she was very educated. She's very sweet and graceful. Who knew that this gorgeous girl's life would forever change?
004, Albert, was another man living in the house. He was an adult who had lost his precious wife years ago before he became a cyborg. His whole body was a weapon which makes him very valuable to the team. He had light silver hair and amazing blue eyes. His skin was pale, like any other German. He was a very nice man who makes him a good leader and his quick thinking and tactics usually got the 00 Cyborgs out of the dreadful clutches of Black Ghost.
005 was once a peaceful Native American in Arizona. Now that he has been made into a cyborg, he has the strength of a thousand men! He's very tall and powerful. His slightly scary appearance has nothing to do with his gentle, sweet personality. He's very in tune with his spiritual and natural side. He's very tall and has dark eyes and skin. He's another valuable member of the 00 Cyborg team. His name is Geronimo Jr.
006 is a pudgy Chinese cook. His ability to shot fire out of his mouth like a dragon, makes him a great cook. The fire can go through almost everything. He's very short and overweight. He has black hair and he's so overweight, you can hardly see his eyes. He has pale skin. His name is Chang.
007 was once a talented British actor known as Great Britain or G.B for short. His ability is to morph to anything at the push of his bellybutton. This ability always came in handy in battles against Black Ghost. He's a bald man with a good sense of humor. He has dark eyes and pale skin. Even his appearance is quite funny.
008, Pyunma, was a soldier back in a small country in Africa. He's the only one with that kind of training in war which makes him a great member of the team. He can swim in a great speed for long periods of time without air. He has dark skin, dark eyes, and light blond hair. He's always optimistic and nice.
009, Joe Shimamura, was the leader of the team. He's very advanced and has all the abilities the other cyborgs have. He can fight and move at great speeds and has super strength. He's very compassionate and sweet. He has chestnut hair that covers one of his crimson eyes and tan skin. He's tall and quite attractive. He's half Japanese.
All of these strange and different people got along and could live in one household in harmony. They all had the same purpose in life after being changed into a cyborg:
Bring Black Ghost's association down.
Black Ghost was the cause of all of their problems. They were the ones who forever changed their peaceful lives. Black Ghost's association makes ultimate weapons to conquer the world and cause chaos between many countries. Black Ghost himself is evil and has sinister plans to destroy the world.
That's why the 00 Cyborgs, instead of helping Black Ghost and serve their purpose as the ultimate weapons, became the rebellions. Now, they are fighting to protect the world from Black Ghost's evil forces.
But now, they settled in a normal human like life with Dr. Kazumi in his serene beach. It was nice to be living a normal life and not to worry about some crazy villain creating male cyborgs to destroy the world. Including the 00 Cyborgs themselves. But that wouldn't last for long...........
*****
Like before, it was just a quiet afternoon in the serene beach. Baby Ivan was sleeping in the living room. Dr. Kazumi and Dr. Gilmore were both reading and studying. The men, or the male 00 Cyborgs, were all outside playing a good game of volleyball. Chang was just watching, since he wasn't fond of sports.
The men were separated into groups. The first group was Joe, Albert, and Jet. The second group was G.B, Pyunma, and Geronimo Jr. Obviously, with Albert's tactics, the first group was beating the second one badly.
"Give up," Jet said with a goofy smile.
"Oh no my fellow friend," G.B said," why don't we finish what we started?"
Jet sighed and just smiled. He liked challenges. Joe rolled his crimson eyes. It was just a game. G.B didn't even take a battle against Black Ghost this seriously.
On top of a cliff, stood a petite figure. A pretty girl stood there, almost at the edge. She didn't notice this, of course. Francoise was so deep in thought that it was hard to even notice such things. The wind blew her golden like hair and her golden hair danced. Her short pink sleeveless dress with white cherry blossoms on it also danced with the wind. The sunny sun made her golden hair glow. Her eyes matched that of the far tropical ocean. The sea roared.
Birds and such could be heard from every corner along with the crashing waves. Her arms went around her shoulders and she closed her eyes. She also heard a loud discussion between Jet and G.B. She rolled her cute eyes. Her thoughts drifted back to those nice moments back in France. Her heart ached. Oh how she missed Jean Paul!
It just brought bittersweet memories just to think about her handsome older brother. How she loved him so much! It brought tears to her eyes. Her dear brother who had given up most of his life for her and her dancing. He always wanted her to be a ballerina in a nice academy. She was his ballerina. His little sister. Her ocean blue-green eyes filled with sorrowful tears.
How she hated Black Ghost for taking those people she loved the most away!
She didn't know what she would do without her team mates. Those men she lived with had become a sort of family to her. She loved them all as brothers. She blushed suddenly. She didn't know if it was because of the breeze or something else. There was a certain someone she loved more then a team mate and brother. She blushed.
She watched the waves. She loved the ocean. It amazed her. How it had feelings of it's own. It could be furious one minute and then serene the other. The serene sound and the tropical smell in produced. It was just amazing. So nice it was just to stand on top of a high cliff like she was now.
" Fraaannncccooiiiisssseeee," The ocean roared.
She raised an eyebrow.
Am I imagining this? she thought.
" Frrrrraaaannnnccccooooiiisssseee," It repeated.
She gasped. It wasn't her imagination. She heard it so clearly. The ocean was speaking to her. It was beckoning her to join him. She took a step forward, doing anything the ocean wanted her to do. She shook her head.
What am I doing? she thought.
This is silly! The ocean does not speak in words!
" Frrrraaaannnnccccooooiiiiseee," The ocean said. The waves splashed in fury. It wanted her. It wanted her to join it. It wanted to soothe her and keep her secrets.
She took another step forward. Her eyes went wide. She wasn't controlling her actions anymore. The ocean, with all it's might, was controlling her. The sea wanted her. It wanted her as it's mighty treasure. She would be it's treasure. She would grant it's wish. She knew, that if she took two more steps forward, she would fall and be the ocean's treasure. She tried to stop herself.
"What do you want?" She asked the ocean. The sea. She started shaking. She felt the ocean's water spray on her dress and sandals. She felt it's coldness. Harshness.
I won't be the sea's treasure! Francoise thought, determined. But the sea knew her thoughts. And the sea was proud and powerful. Anything it wanted, it got. It wanted Francoise. It wanted her to be it's treasure.
But I'm also strong, Francoise thought, I'm granite.
I'm strong like it. She nodded. She tried to take a step back but her body wouldn't allow her to do so. Her body has given in to the wonderful powerful ocean. But her mind didn't. Her mind had to control everything but yet it didn't. She couldn't even scream. She couldn't call her friends from below to save her from the sea. Her voice even belonged to the ocean.
The sea was jealous. It wouldn't allow her to talk to anyone but him, the sea. The sea didn't want her to think about anything but himself.
" What do you want?" Francoise asked again. She was scared and she knew the sea liked that. It enjoyed it. It enjoyed watching her trying to escape.
It roared, as if it was laughing. Laughing in a loud, harsh, and sinister way. It send shivers down her spine. She tried to look down to her friends so she could at least get their attention. But her gorgeous eyes also belonged to the ocean. It had always belonged to it. Her eyes were that of the ocean. She couldn't even hear the shouts coming from her friends. Even her abilities belonged to the ocean.
" Vous mon cher ," The sea roared, in her own language. He spoke in French, not wanting anyone but terrified Francoise to understand his powerful words. It wanted her. It moved her legs towards him. It brought her close to his power and harshness. She couldn't scream when she was only a step away from the ocean. Below her it laughed and it roared in delight.
The sea wanted Francoise. It wanted her. And it would do anything to have her as it's treasure...........
*****
Joe's crimson eyes searched for the mysterious beauty. They were taking a short break from their game. Joe couldn't find Francoise anywhere. He sat on the sand and he looked everywhere for her until, to his horror, found Francoise on top of a cliff. She was so close to the edge, that she was about to fall.
" My God," He exclaimed, " Francoise! What are you doing?"
The men looked up and their eyes went wide to find the French little girl on top of a cliff and about to fall. They all jumped to their feet.
" Francoise!" They all yelled at the top of their lungs. But she couldn't hear a thing.
" FRANCOISE!" Joe yelled.
She was taking a step forward and just one more step would make her fall. And then she would meet death. Joe was never so scared or horrified.
" STOP IT FRANCOISE! COME TO YOUR SENSES," Joe yelled.
" Don't die on us yet!" G.B yelled.
" Joe, do something!" Chang said, frantically. Joe almost slapped himself. It had just occurred to him that he was no average eighteen year old boy. This attractive half Japanese boy was a cyborg and had what everyone called an Accelerator Mode. If he just clicked his back tooth, the world would go in slow motion and he could avoid a tragedy from happening. He could save his Francoise!
Joe nodded and clicked his back tooth. The world went slow, almost stopped to be exact. He ran and jumped on top of the cliff. He took Francoise in his arms, who was soaking wet. He carried her back down with the rest of the cyborgs to safety. He clicked the back of his tooth again to make everything go back to normal.
Francoise's scared eyes stared up at Joe and she cried on his broad chest. The men were in confusion and didn't know where to begin.
The sea started roaring in anger and loss. Francoise kept on shaking and couldn't control her tears or her shaking. Joe stared at Francoise in compassion and love. He was so terrified. He almost lost her.
" Francoise-" Joe started.
" The sea wants me, Joe," She said, her voice quiet and gentle.
" What?" Jet said, " Francoise? What do you mean?"
" The sea wants me," She repeated.
" Come again?" G.B asked.
" It talked to me. It controlled me. It wants me. It wants me as it's treasure," She said. She was not crying anymore. She was emotionless. Her voice was dull and her gorgeous eyes that were usually so happy and full of life seemed the opposite of that.
" Uh, let's get you inside," Chang said, nervously.
" You need to rest," Pyunma agreed.
" I can't escape the wrath of the sea," She said.
" Francoise," Albert said and shook his head.
They think I'm insane! Francoise thought.
It'll be too late by the time they believe me. I'll belong to the sea and I'll be it's mighty treasure by then...................
*****
Francoise woke up in her soft pink four poster bed. She blinked and stared at her surroundings. She couldn't remember what had happened earlier. She stared at the clock hanging on oak wall. It was late and almost time for dinner. She rubbed her eyes.
What had happened earlier? she thought.
She stared down at her clothes and found that she was wearing her short red silky night dress. She raised an eyebrow.
I could have sworn that I was wearing another dress, she thought. She shrugged and slipped her slippers on. She stretched her arms and covered her mouth with her hand as she yawned.
Why am I so tired? she thought as she walked outside her door. She found the pleasing aroma of roast beef and any other food coming from the dinning room. She smiled but first walked inside the bathroom to wash her face. After that, she walked over to the dinning room. There was silence once she entered the room.
Eyes of concern stared at her. She raised an eyebrow.
" Francoise, dear," Dr. Gilmore said," Are you okay?"
" Of course, " She said, frowning slightly, " Why wouldn't I?"
She sat on her usual chair in between Joe and Jet.. Everyone stared at each other, confused.
I don't get it, Francoise thought.
Which was the same thought everyone else had in mind.
" You mean you don't remember anything?" Pyunma asked.
" What do you mean? Should I remember something? All I remember is that I woke up, ate breakfast, watched T.V with Ivan, put Ivan to sleep and-" She paused. There was a long pause.
" Strange. I don't remember a thing that happened in the afternoon," She said.
" You took a nap?" G.B suggested.
" Yes that's it," She said, smiling.
" So you don't remember what happened with the sea?" Geronimo asked.
" No. But doesn't it look so nice today? The sea is just marvelous! I was thinking of going up that tall cliff to watch it. But I guess I fell asleep," She said. The men turned pale.
" Francoise," Joe said, " That cliff is dangerous. Don't you ever go up there."
" I know it's dangerous but only from there will I be able to watch the sea's beauty and fury," She said, with a twinkle in her eyes.
Oh no, Joe thought, don't go talking about the sea again.
" Anyway, we played a nice game of volleyball today," Jet said.
" You did?" She asked.
" Don't you-" Jet started but from his other side, Albert kicked him. Jet knew what that kick meant.
" Yes," Albert said, " Joe, Jet, and I won."
" That's wonderful," She said with a smile.
The dinner went off nicely with no more talk about the sea. Francoise couldn't believe all she missed during those hours of sleep.
No, she thought, I know I didn't go to sleep that long.
Something happened, I know it did. And I, Francoise Arnoul, will find out..........
*****
"Francoise?" A gentle voice said.
Francoise was headed to her room but then turned around to find Joe.
" Yes Joe?" She replied.
" Are you sure your feeling all right?" He asked.
" Of course," She said, smiling.
" Well," Joe said, " We need groceries and I said I would go tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?"
" Of course I would," Francoise said. She smiled at the attractive boy.
" I'm leaving early," He said.
" It's okay. I want to come with you," She said.
" Good," He said. He planted a tender kiss on her forehead.
" I'm happy your okay," He said. She giggled.
" Goodnight," He said, kissing her tender forehead again.
" Goodnight Joe," She said.
She watched him walk to the room next to hers, which was his. How grand Joe was! He was a hero. Her hero. He was so courageous and strong. He was brave and compassionate. It was like he had come out of a made up book or TV series. He was so amazing and handsome. She blushed and walked to the bathroom to wash her teeth and face.
But the horror seemed to be over but it was only the beginning. The sea was proud and brave. Mighty and strong. Anything it wanted, it got. It wanted Francoise. It was going to have Francoise. Francoise was it's treasure. A hidden treasure that no pirate would ever find. But Francoise was granite, she wouldn't give in to the sea.
But the mighty sea never gave up. It would fight until it claimed it's treasure................
*****
The next morning, it was sunny and bright. The birds sang a sweet melody and the sound of the waves and the sea was so serene. Francoise had changed into a baby blue miniskirt which has white blossoms on the hem. She wore a matching baby blue sleeveless shirt with white blossoms on the hem as well. She put on white and blue platform shoes ( I have these). She wore a couple of blue bracelets and a golden necklace with a white blossom on it. She sprayed some perfume and applied delicate make up.
She applied a perfect amount of lip gloss and brushed her golden like hair and put a baby blue head band. She walked out her room with a baby blue purse. Joe was outside her room and he smiled at the pretty girl.
" You look great," He said smiling, taking her hand in his.
" Why thank you Joe. You don't look so bad yourself," She said, her finger playing with his blue vest. He blushed but smiled kindly at her.
" Thank you, Francoise. Why don't we get going?" He asked her. She smiled and nodded. He led her out of the house and into Dr. Kazumi's car. Joe started the car and it roared to life; like the furious sea. He drove out the private beach and into the small town where the supermarket was at. They parked in the parking lot and turned the car off. They walked out of the car and walked over to the market.
They got a cart and walked through every aisle in search of all the things in the large list Chang had written himself. They filled it with everything they needed and walked over to a free cashier in line number 3. Once they were done, they grabbed the bags and walked outside.
" Phew, that was long," Francoise said.
" I know I-"
"Mon Dieu," An elderly person said. He walked over to Francoise and put a hand on her cheek. Francoise stared at him, strangely.
"Il ne peut pas être," He said. Joe stared strangely at the man who had his old hand on Francoise's rosy cheek.
" Petite fille, vous ressemblez tellement à quelqu'un," He said.
" Je ?" She said.
" Oui," He replied, " have this, my dear."
He handed her a poster. She stared at the man, confused but he just smiled warmly at her.
" L'ont mon cher, " He said, " c'est une affiche du trésor France perdue et veut en arrière de façon ou d'autre. Un trésor que vous ressemblez à aussi."
"Merci," She said, smiling. The man planted a soft kiss on her hand.
" Salut, fille douce," The man said.
" Vous trop monsieur," She replied and the man waved.
" Au revoir," He said.
" Au revoir."
The man disappeared in the crowd and Joe stared at Francoise strangely.
" Why don't we go home?" He said.
" Yes," Francoise said, staring in the distance for the mysterious French man. Joe took her hand and led her back to the car.
A treasure France has lost, she thought, and wants back. What could that be?
But Francoise never thought that she might be that treasure that France wants back. Not only France but the mighty sea........
*****
" So," Jet said, " let me get this straight. A man out of no where gave you a poster? I don't get it."
They were in the dining table eating breakfast and Joe had just finished telling everyone about the strange man and the poster. It was hard to believe of course.
" Yes," Francoise said, cradling Ivan in her arms.
" But what did he tell you?" Albert asked
" He was speaking in French. He said that I look like a treasure France lost and wants back," She said.
" A treasure?" The men all said.
" Yes," She said, " I don't uunderstand it myself."
" Why don't you get the poster?" Pyunma suggested.
" Yes," Geronimo said.
" Then we can see what this old guy meant," G.B said.
" Okay," She said.
She handed Ivan to Joe and walked over to her room and grabbed the poster. She sat back down and the man watch anxiously as she took the rubber band off and unrolled the poster. She gasped as she got a good look of the mysterious poster.
She covered her mouth with her hand and handed the poster to Joe. Joe's eyes widened.
In the poster, it was a dark night and a lone petite figure dressed as a ballerina danced on the top of a tall cliff in back of a silver and yellow thunderbolt. The sea was roaring and it seamed angry. The girl with golden like hair in the poster and pale skin was so close to the edge and couldn't notice this since her eyes were close. The sea was the color of black, white, and dark green. The sky was pitch black except for the yellow and silver thunderbolt in the background. It was the only light and the girl was dancing in a thunderstorm.
When everyone got a good look at it, their eyes went wide. Francoise jumped to her feet and she started to shake, like the day before.
" I'm the treasure France lost and wants back! That's why the sea wants me! It wants to take me home! I'm it's treasure!" Francoise said, in tears.
The men didn't know what to say. They just stared at the poster and at Francoise.
" The sea wants me," Francoise's voice was dull and emotionless like before, " It can have me. I'm it's treasure. I will be it's mighty treasure. I will belong to the sea and to France."
Outside, the sea roared. It roared, as if it was laughing. In a sinister, cruel way. The sea wanted her. It was going to have her. She was the lost treasure and the sea will claim it's lost treasure...............

AN:
So what did you think? Did you like it? I love the sea and I describe it in a strange way. Review and tell me what you think! There will be a bit of fluff between Joe and Francoise, of course but this story is not going to be like my other Cyborg 009 fic since that one is more of a romance story. This is more of a horrow/angst story. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter and I will have the next chapter as soon as I can!
Thank you,
