This is my first multi-chaptered story & I hope I can update regularly. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do.
(I do not own Cyborg 009.)
Washington D.C., July 4th.
009 & the other cyborgs had tracked down a mad scientist in his well guarded safe-house.
"We'll split up." Said 009, as they came to three different hallways. "005, 007, & 006, go that way. 004 & 008, you go that way. 002 & 003 will come with me."
They all agreed & set out to find their enemy, Dr. Cyclone.
Dr. Cyclone was an ex-colleague of Dr. Gilmore who specialized in the genetic code of humans, more specifically… how to destroy human D.N.A.!
Dr. Gilmore had sent the cyborgs to stop him because he had become a powerful figure in the world & had unleashed a devastating weapon which sent the world into a terrible war.
009 & 002 ran ahead, with 003 close behind.
001was still asleep in 003's arms, resting up after generating a large force-field which protected the cyborgs & Dr. Gilmore from the genetic weapon.
They had almost reached the end of the hallway when they came under attack from ceiling mounted lasers which were disguised as security cameras. 009 accelerated & destroyed the lasers with ease, but when he slowed down again another laser came out of the wall behind him & fired.
The next moment seemed to go by in slow motion, as 003 jumped between 009 & the laser & took the full force of the blow. 002 used his hand-laser to blast the laser on the wall, but it was too late. 009 turned around with a look of disbelief on his face, as 003 fell to the ground.
For a moment 009 could not speak, until he fell to his knees next to 003 & called out to her.
"003! 003! Say something!"
"009… you're alright…" her voice was weak & her breath was shallow. "I'm… so glad. Is… 001 okay?"
009 took a look & turned his face back to 003, trying to fake a smile. "Yeah, he's still asleep."
"That's good… I was afraid one of you might get hurt… I'm glad that you're all safe…" 003 felt a sudden surge of pain which made her grit her teeth.
"Francoise!!" 009 held her head up & held her hand in his. "Please hold on!"
"Joe…" her voice was getting weaker. "I don't have long… I wanted to say… I… I… I love…" she stopped in mid sentence, her eyes closed, & her hand became cold… 009 knew she was gone.
"… Goodbye… Francoise." 009 lightly kissed her & laid her carefully on the ground.
He picked up 001 & handed him to 002, who seemed almost as devastated as he was.
"009," Said 002, as his friend turned away. "Are you alright? 009?" 009 stood silent. "Joe?"
Before he could say anything more, 009 accelerated & was out of 002's sight.
009 ran as fast as he could, he knew what he must do now. He burst into a large office & found Dr. Cyclone trying desperately to pack up & escape.
"Dr. Cyclone!!" 009's voice was loud & harsh.
"So," Dr. Cyclone was trying to keep an arrogant tone in his voice, despite his fear of what this cyborg might do. "Old Gilmore sent a cyborg kid to do his dirty work huh?" he drew a small laser gun. "Well I'm not going without a fight!" 009 just picked up a nearby chair & threw it at Dr. Cyclone, knocking the gun out of his grip & breaking his hand. "You son of a…"
Before he could say another word 009 accelerated & appeared right in front of him. He grabbed the doctor by the collar & lifted him off of the ground.
"Do you realize what you've done!?" 009 was furious. "All the people you've killed, all the lives you've destroyed, why!?"
"It was all in the name of science." Cyclone began to chuckle until 009 tightened his grip.
"Science!?! You killed all those people for Science!?!" 009 threw Cyclone down, & when the doctor got back on his feet 009 said, "You will never harm anyone again!! This is for all the people your weapon killed!" 009 hit him with his left fist right in the face. "& this is for all the people who have been hurt by the war you caused!" He hit him in the jaw with his right fist, knocking him to the ground. 009 took out his hand laser, set it on the highest setting, & pointed it at Cyclone. "& this…" His finger slowly squeezed the trigger. "…Is for…" Dr. Cyclone tried to beg for mercy. "…Francoise!!!"
002 & the others had regrouped & were not far from the office when they heard a laser fire & a scream of pain. They ran into the room & found 009 holding a laser pistol, pointed at the smoking, lifeless body of Dr. Cyclone.
"009, what have you done?" Asked 007.
"Something that needed to be done." 004 said, answering for 009.
009 turned to his friends, a strange, feral look in his eyes.
"This is only the beginning." 009's voice was cold & harsh. "Dr. Cyclone was just one of many madmen who hold positions of power. We have to get serious, we have the power to change the world… it's about time we used it!"
The cyborgs stood silent. They all agreed that this was just the first step. They made a pact that they would no longer hold back, & they would make the world a safer place… at all costs!
& so the eight cyborgs left the battle ground. The burning White House would be a grave for Dr. Cyclone… & for 003 as well.
Well, there it was. I hope I didnt make anyone sad about 003, I promise that the story will get happier in the next chapter. Please review.
p.s. Thanks for reading!
