Chapter Three
Madness
AN:
GoldAngel2: Wow, that episode really does sound like my fic. How interesting! I'm happy that this story is turning out so mysterious and different! I'm glad you like it!
Serene Faerie: I'm very happy that you think it's mysterious and beautiful. I actually think the same way about my fic since it's just so different. I've never written something quite like it. Except for my poetry of course. Yeah, Francoise really is starting to act like some kind of person with mental problems. Your not the first to say so. *smiles* Yes, my birthday is coming up soon. November 8th, to be exact. How'd you know? Anyway, I'm not even sure what I want for my birthday. My only wish is for you to keep on reading my stories and for new readers. *sighs* That is all really. Thank you! ^_^
MagicianCyborg: Don't say that. I bet your story is great! Thank you for your sweet compliments!
Wolfwood11: *blush* Yeah, I hope that my relationship with him goes good too. Well, the sea in my fic is pretty much a mixture of the book and my own ideas. You'll see what I mean when you read this chapter. I know, the sea is very mysterious and dark in my fic. Thank you for your sweet compliments!
Golden Feather Dragon: *sweat drop* I'll say it again, I do not speak French and now that I realize that I'm making so many stupid mistakes, I won't put anymore French..... I just KNEW I should have made the sea speak in Spanish that way I could have avoided this. But that wouldn't really make sense and then I bet people will notice my lack of spelling. But of course, I do not mind you telling me that. That really shows me to use those cheap translator things. *grins* I have a boyfriend, yes. Yes, I'm twelve BUT I am proud to say that next week I turn thirteen and go from a naive preteen to a naive teen. Really, I really don't like that idea since I love being twelve and getting all the comments I get for my two other fics on how incredible my skills are for my age. But I'm still young anyway. Finally, I will update until this dumb writer's block leaves me alone. Do read Fog, it is a masterpiece. Just reading it gave me fresh new ideas. Yeah I am making people suffer but my style is to let the characters in my fics portray my own character and feelings. Yes, Joe is getting quite annoyed by Francoise's strange fond for the sea. Thank you for the support and compliments.
Thank you all for your sweet compliments! I do not deserve them, really. I thank you for all the compliments and support. Here's the next chapter! Enjoy and review!
Disclaimer:
I do not own Cyborg 009 in any way. You already know that this story is based on Caroline B. Cooney's Fog but much of the plot is changed in my story.
********************************
The warm ray's of the sun shined above her from her window. Her eyes fluttered open at once. She blinked a couple of times to get used to the light and found that Joe was sleeping in the rocking chair she would use to put Ivan to sleep. Ivan was sleeping in his crib silently. Both Joe and Ivan seemed so adorable and innocent in their sleep. She smiled. She stood up and walked over to the bathroom. She noticed that she smelled of sea water and at once, all the things that had occurred the night before came back to her. She shivered.
What is happening to me? she thought.
" Am I going insane?" She said to herself, studying her reflection carefully. She looked normal, except that her eyes seemed to be wider. She was also paler. And as much as she tried to stay warm, she was always so cold.
This, she thought, is what the sea wants.
The sea wants me to go insane.
Until I give in to it's wrath.
But, she thought, the sea forgot that I am granite.
I won't give up.
But her will to be with the sea was stronger then her.
The sea had control over her body but not her mind.
Half of her wanted to be with the sea.
The other half wanted to stay with the ones she loved.
But even they, my so called family, think I'm going insane. They think it's all my imagination. By the time they believe me, it'll be too late. I'll belong to the sea by then.
Her eyes filled with sorrowful tears.
" Even Joe thinks I am going insane," She said.
If only they knew, she thought.
*****
" Insane? You say that the girl is going insane? Heh, how priceless," A deep sinister voice said. A loud sinister laugh followed his statement. He was like any other villain. Black Ghost was like a villain from a comic book. His followers shivered at the sound of his laughter. Black Ghost, or Scarl, sat on a high chair, like some kind of king and below were his followers.
" Yes, sir," said a short man with a squeaky voice.
" How did you find out this amusing information from?" Scarl asked.
" Our scientist have been watching the 00 Cyborgs every move with some kind of machine they have made. They found that the only female, 003, is acting strangely," The follower said. Scarl laughed again.
"Strangely? How strangely?" Scarl asked, rubbing his chin.
" Very strangely sir. She keep on going on top of a cliff and she's always talking about the sea and how it wants her," The follower said. Scarl laughed, once more. The follower was getting annoyed.
" Sir, if I may ask you, what is so funny?" he asked.
" Why, Charles, don't you get it? This is perfect! Don't you know that this was planned? I didn't think it was going to be so easy! Our little new cyborg is doing a great job. The girl fell for our plan! In no time the girl is going to be just a walking corpse!" Scarl said, happily.
" Like some sort of zombie?" Charles asked, shivering.
" Yes, Charles, like a zombie. Now, the cyborgs will find out it was all our little evil scheme," Scarl said.
" Is that good?" Charles asked.
" Good? It's great! We just have to figure out a way to blackmail them. It's either they come and serve their purpose as the ultimate weapons or it's good-bye to their sweet little girl," Scarl said, with a smirk. Charles eyes went wide.
" Now," Scarl said, " the fun can begin. We'll not only destroy the girl but also have the male 00 Cyborgs in our hands."
Scarl laughed his heart out. Or if he even has one. His laugh was loud, cruel, and determined; like the sea's laugh.
*****
" But why?" She asked, in despair.
" Because we have had enough. We don't want you to get hurt, dear. And the best way to do this is to keep you inside," Dr. Gilmore said.
" I'll go insane," Francoise said, staring at the walls with wide eyes of fear.
" Aren't you already insane?" Jet asked. Hearing this, both Albert and Joe stepped on each of Jet's feet, very hard.
" Ouch!" Jet howled.
" Shut up, will you?" Joe said. Francoise's fingers went through her hair. The men stared at her hair, carefully.
" Francoise," Pyunma asked, " did you dye your hair? It looks pale."
" The sea is changing me," Francoise said, in her dreamy mindless voice, " just look at my skin and eyes. My skin is going really pale and my eyes are losing their color. I'm getting weak and I seem to be losing too much weight."
" How can that all happen in two days?" G.B asked, rolling his eyes.
" It's amazing what the sea can do to you," Francoise said.
Dr. Kazumi got up and grabbed Francoise's chin. He studied her face and hair.
" Oh dear, your right. Your hair, like your skin, is going really pale. And somehow, your eyes are losing their color. It's like it's fading or something. And your freezing my dear," Dr. Kazumi said. They were in the living room and Francoise's head fell on Joe's shoulder. She laughed softly. She didn't laugh sweetly, like she used to.
" I know," She said, with a smile. Joe's crimson eyes studied her too.
Somehow, she looked even prettier.
It seemed impossible, but she seemed gorgeous now.
More then before.
" But," Dr. Kazumi said, " it's not the sea's action. You haven't had any sleep. That's why."
" Lie," Francoise said, " I have had sleep. It's the sea."
" Stop blaming it on the dumb sea!" Jet said. He stood up and glared at her.
" Your acting really stupid! Your not some child, Francoise. Your not an average girl anymore. Your a valued member of our team now. Your one heck of a women. Your special to us Francoise and you should give yourself more value. Your valuable to all of us, Francoise. Start acting like the girl we all care about and love," Jet said.
Everyone was stunned, except for Francoise. They couldn't believe it that such beautiful words were coming out of Jet. It was so unlike him to say something like that.
" He's right Francoise," Joe said, " we care about you. We're worried about you."
But Francoise just stared at them with wide eyes. Those eyes that were losing their brilliant color and turning into a dull, lifeless kind of blue. Her eyes didn't have any emotion and she just shook her head, sadly.
" Don't worry," She said, " it's going to be okay. I'll be gone sooner then you know it and you'll adjust perfectly without me."
She stood up and walked out the living room. Jet at once was filled with fury. He punched the wall, angrily. He was shaking from rage.
" How dare she? I didn't say those words for nothing. I thought she would come to her senses! What the hell ( sorry) is wrong with her?" Jet said.
" Calm down," Ivan said, from Dr. Gilmore's arms, " your all right. It's not the sea's actions."
" Well no kidding," G.B said.
" It's all Black Ghost's evil scheme," Ivan said.
They gasped. They stared at the tiny infant, no larger then a loaf of bread.
" You can't be serious!" Chang said, with wide eyes.
" I am," Ivan said.
There was silence and everyone just stared at each other, with big serious eyes.
" What does Scarl want?" Joe asked.
" I'm not so sure. I think he wants this all to happen. He had everything planned. That poster and everything. And those voices Francoise hears are not her imagination; they are real. If I'm not mistaken, Scarl made a new cyborg," Ivan said.
" A- a new c-cyborg?" G.B said. His jaws fell.
" Yes. It really does want Francoise but we can't let it do that. Scarl wants something from her. And maybe us too," Ivan explained.
Poor Francoise, Joe thought, all of us have thought she was going insane but the truth was that Black Ghost wanted us to believe that she was. Joe didn't feel well at all. He didn't know what to say. He felt disgusted that he had said all those things to Francoise.
" Joe, you are the closest to Francoise. Your like her big brother, you know. That is why I think you should be with her at all time. She has a large room so I think we can fit your bed and so in her room," Dr. Kazumi said. Joe blushed.
" It's nothing like that you sick minded boy," Ivan said with a grin, " it's just that we think that you are responsible enough to take care of Francoise and protect her from the new cyborg."
" I wasn't thinking that," Joe said with a blush.
"Sure, Joe," Albert said with a grin.
" I'm serious!" Joe said.
" So," Dr. Gilmore said, " are you willing to take this responsibility? You don't have to if you don't want to."
" Of course I want to, Dr.Gilmore," Joe said.
" Then go," Dr. Kazumi said, nodding. He smiled at him kindly.
Joe nodded and stood. He would protect Francoise from Black Ghost and the sea. Or in other words the new cyborg that wants Francoise for reasons unknown.
*****
Scarl chuckled. He couldn't believe that his sinister plan was actually working. And so quickly too. He chuckled again with a wide smile of victory.
" But sir, they know our plan!" Charles said, with wide eyes.
" They don't know everything, do they Charles?" Scarl asked and Charles shook his head.
Suddenly, the large black door opened furiously. A young nineteen year old boy came in not looking happy at all. His dark violet eyes stared at Scarl angrily. His usual pale skin looked slightly red, in rage. The tall boy with light silver hair that looked almost white crossed his arms over his chest. An angry frown graced his attractive features.
" What is it, 0019 ( I lost count)?" Scarl asked, an eyebrow raised.
" Don't call me that, Scarl," 0019 said, angrily.
" What ever you say, Torri ( that doesn't sound Japanese at all)" Scarl said, shrugging, " what brings you here? You don't seem happy."
" Why should I be happy? You prosmised me, Scarl. You promised that I will have the girl and I haven't even gotten a hold of her. Why aren't you keeping your end of the bargain?" Torri asked, shaking in rage.
" Things aren't as easy as they seem my boy. 009 keeps on interfering with our plans," Scarl said.
" Then can't we do something about it, Scarl? Like destroying him?" Torri asked, annoyed.
" First of all, do not call me Scarl since I am your father. And we can't destroy 009. We need him," Scarl said.
" Why, father?" Torri asked, rolling his eyes, " we don't need him."
" Son, as long as you have the girl, then everything is okay. Don't interfere with my own plans," Scarl said.
Torri scowled at his own father who had turn him into an advanced cyborg like himself. He sighed and walked out the room, his black cape following him. Scarl shook his head.
*****
" What are you drawing?" Joe asked.
Joe had just moved in all his stuff inside her pink room. Francoise was sitting on her desk which was in front of the window. She watched the sea carefully as she drew. Her pale eyes that had once been a brilliant shade of blue and green stared at him, dully. She showed him the picture she was drawing.
" Isn't it marvelous?" She said, in the dreamy voice that made no sense. A dreamy smile graced her pretty features.
It was obviously a picture of the sea. It had much detail and looked so realistic. The sea was furious in the picture and it looked angry. It was colored in many dark colors.
" Yes, Francoise, it is," He lied. Francoise smiled. Not her sweet smile but that dreamy smile of hers.
" I know," She said, in a dreamy voice.
" Francoise, we have to talk," Joe said. He was sitting on his own bed.
She nodded and her pale eyes stared up at him. He took a deep breath.
" The sea," He started, " the voices you hear-"
" Is fake. I know, I know. You tell me that a lot," Francoise said in a sad voice.
" No, no that's not it. The sea and the voices you hear are not your imagination. It's a cyborg," Joe said. Francoise rolled her pale eyes.
" And you think I'm insane," She said.
" No, I'm telling the truth. It's a cyborg," Joe said, " Scarl made a new cyborg! I'm serious."
" How absurd. Stop teasing me," Francoise said. She became upset.
" Francoise, Scarl made some kind of cyborg that can somehow control the sea and make you do, hear, and see things that are not real," Joe said. Francoise sighed.
" It's the sea," She said, " don't blame this one on Scarl, Joe."
Joe groaned in annoyance. Was this so hard to believe? The real Francoise would have believed him. Francoise rolled her eyes and started adding finishing touches to her masterpiece. Joe stood up and put two hands on her shoulders.
" Please," He said," believe me, Francoise."
Francoise sighed and put a hand on top of his own hand. She sighed again.
" I want to believe you," She said, " but I can't."
She stood up and walked over to a larger window. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply. Her hand touched the window, as if longing to go outside.
" Joe," Francoise said," either way, my fate is the same. My fate is to be out there, somewhere off in the distance. Away from you and everyone."
She stared at Joe with tearful eyes.
" I'm just a burden," She said, " your all better off without me. It's better to let the sea wash me away forever."
" No Francoise," Joe said, " that's not true. We need you Francoise. And while I'm here, your not going anywhere."
Joe's arms went around her tiny waist. Francoise cried softly on his broad chest as his finger went through her now pale hair and thoughts bombarded him at once.
How much of this will we be able to take? he thought bitterly.
Outside two dark violets eyes stared at them angrily as the waves roared in red hot fury.
THE SEA IS GRANITE. IT WILL HAVE FRANCOISE AS IT'S MIGHTY TREASURE....................
TO BE CONTINUED......................

AN:
This story isn't as popular as I would have liked it to. Well, I enjoy writing this story anyways since I love how mysterious and different it came out from my other romantic stories. Oh, and to those who read my other Cyborg 009 story, Summer Passion, I've tried writing it out but everytime I almost have half of it typed out, I run out of ideas! Let us just call it a weird case of writer's block. Give me more time, please. I promise to make it long and more romantic. Well, thanks for your patience!
Regards,
SDA 009
IMPORTANT NOTE- Summer Passions:
Opps, sorry forgot to tell you this but I need your advice. I've recently been reading the story over and I've noticed that I left one big detail out of my story- Black Ghost! My God, do not ask how that happened because I really don't know. I can't believe it that I actually left out the most important characters of the story out! I completely went out the whole plot of this story and the plot of the entire series! That is why I need to take a poll:
Question: Do you think that I should only write one more chapter about the All Boy's Dormitory?
A. Yes
B. No
Please, I need your help on this! For those who have read Summer Passions, I would really appreciate it if you answered the poll question. And to those who haven't read Summer Passions, please read it. And if by any chance you actually finish reading it any time soon, answer the poll. Yeah I know you can only review once for this chapter so send your answer to the poll to my E-mail: moondaisygirl07@aol.com mailto:moondaisygirl07@aol.com. Thank you all!
*********************************************
REVIEW! NO FLAMES, PLEASE!
" THE SEA IS GRANITE. IT WILL HAVE FRANCOISE AS IT'S MIGHTY TREASURE......."
NEXT CHAPTER- LET THE FIGHT BEGIN: *sweat drop* Unlike my other story, I will include Black Ghost in the next chapter. The 00 Cyborgs meet 0019 and this leads to violence. What surprises can our heroes meet now?

" Then go," Dr. Kazumi said, nodding. He smiled at him kindly.
Joe nodded and stood. He would protect Francoise from Black Ghost and the sea. Or in other words the new cyborg that wants Francoise for reasons unknown.

Scarl chuckled. He couldn't believe that his sinister plan was actually working. And so quickly too. He chuckled again with a wide smile of victory.

" Why should I be happy? You prosmised me, Scarl. You promised that I will have the girl and I haven't even gotten a hold of her. Why aren't you keeping your end of the bargain?" Torri asked, shaking in rage.
" Things aren't as easy as they seem my boy. 009 keeps on interfering with our plans," Scarl said.
" Then can't we do something about it, Scarl? Like destroying him?" Torri asked, annoyed.
" First of all, do not call me Scarl since I am your father. And we can't destroy 009. We need him," Scarl said.
" Why, father?" Torri asked, rolling his eyes, " we don't need him."
" Son, as long as you have the girl, then everything is okay. Don't interfere with my own plans," Scarl said.
Torri scowled at his own father who had turn him into an advanced cyborg like himself. He sighed and walked out the room, his black cape following him. Scarl shook his head.

" What are you drawing?" Joe asked.
Joe had just moved in all his stuff inside her pink room. Francoise was sitting on her desk which was in front of the window. She watched the sea carefully as she drew. Her pale eyes that had once been a brilliant shade of blue and green stared at him, dully. She showed him the picture she was drawing.
" Isn't it marvelous?" She said, in the dreamy voice that made no sense. A dreamy smile graced her pretty features.
It was obviously a picture of the sea. It had much detail and looked so realistic. The sea was furious in the picture and it looked angry. It was colored in many dark colors.
" Yes, Francoise, it is," He lied. Francoise smiled. Not her sweet smile but that dreamy smile of hers.
" I know," She said, in a dreamy voice.
" Francoise, we have to talk," Joe said. He was sitting on his own bed.
She nodded and her pale eyes stared up at him. He took a deep breath.
" The sea," He started, " the voices you hear-"
" Is fake. I know, I know. You tell me that a lot," Francoise said in a sad voice.
" No, no that's not it. The sea and the voices you hear are not your imagination. It's a cyborg," Joe said. Francoise rolled her pale eyes.
" And you think I'm insane," She said.
" No, I'm telling the truth. It's a cyborg," Joe said, " Scarl made a new cyborg! I'm serious."
" How absurd. Stop teasing me," Francoise said. She became upset.
" Francoise, Scarl made some kind of cyborg that can somehow control the sea and make you do, hear, and see things that are not real," Joe said. Francoise sighed.
" It's the sea," She said, " don't blame this one on Scarl, Joe."
Joe groaned in annoyance. Was this so hard to believe? The real Francoise would have believed him. Francoise rolled her eyes and started adding finishing touches to her masterpiece. Joe stood up and put two hands on her shoulders.
" Please," He said," believe me, Francoise."
Francoise sighed and put a hand on top of his own hand. She sighed again.
" I want to believe you," She said, " but I can't."
She stood up and walked over to a larger window. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply. Her hand touched the window, as if longing to go outside.
" Joe," Francoise said," either way, my fate is the same. My fate is to be out there, somewhere off in the distance. Away from you and everyone."
She stared at Joe with tearful eyes.
" I'm just a burden," She said, " your all better off without me. It's better to let the sea wash me away forever."
" No Francoise," Joe said, " that's not true. We need you Francoise. And while I'm here, your not going anywhere."
Joe's arms went around her tiny waist. Francoise cried softly on his broad chest as his finger went through her now pale hair and thoughts bombarded him at once.
How much of this will we be able to take? he thought bitterly.
Outside two dark violets eyes stared at them angrily as the waves roared in red hot fury.
THE SEA IS GRANITE. IT WILL HAVE FRANCOISE AS IT'S MIGHTY TREASURE....................

AN:
This story isn't as popular as I would have liked it to. Well, I enjoy writing this story anyways since I love how mysterious and different it came out from my other romantic stories. Oh, and to those who read my other Cyborg 009 story, Summer Passion, I've tried writing it out but everytime I almost have half of it typed out, I run out of ideas! Let us just call it a weird case of writer's block. Give me more time, please. I promise to make it long and more romantic. Well, thanks for your patience!
Regards,
SDA 009
IMPORTANT NOTE- Summer Passions:
Opps, sorry forgot to tell you this but I need your advice. I've recently been reading the story over and I've noticed that I left one big detail out of my story- Black Ghost! My God, do not ask how that happened because I really don't know. I can't believe it that I actually left out the most important characters of the story out! I completely went out the whole plot of this story and the plot of the entire series! That is why I need to take a poll:
Question: Do you think that I should only write one more chapter about the All Boy's Dormitory?
A. Yes
B. No
Please, I need your help on this! For those who have read Summer Passions, I would really appreciate it if you answered the poll question. And to those who haven't read Summer Passions, please read it. And if by any chance you actually finish reading it any time soon, answer the poll. Yeah I know you can only review once for this chapter so send your answer to the poll to my E-mail: moondaisygirl07@aol.com mailto:moondaisygirl07@aol.com. Thank you all!

REVIEW! NO FLAMES, PLEASE!
" THE SEA IS GRANITE. IT WILL HAVE FRANCOISE AS IT'S MIGHTY TREASURE......."
NEXT CHAPTER- LET THE FIGHT BEGIN: *sweat drop* Unlike my other story, I will include Black Ghost in the next chapter. The 00 Cyborgs meet 0019 and this leads to violence. What surprises can our heroes meet now?
