(I do not own Cyborg 009)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon after the alternate 009 made his appearance, six other men in black & purple uniforms entered the room.
They were this reality's versions of 001, 002, 004, 005, 006, & 008. The only one missing was an alternate 003.
"I'd like to introduce my friends." Said the harsh voiced 009 when he saw his comrades enter. "These are your alternate selves, Cyborgs One, Two, Four, Five, Six, & Eight. You have already met Seven. & you can call me Nine." He held his hand out toward 009. "It's a pleasure to meet me." He smiled, but when 009 didn't return his smile or shake his hand he simply stood silently with an emotionless look on his face.
"What do you want with us?" 009 asked his double, the anger in his voice growing with every word. "Why have you brought us here?!"
"…" Nine paused, as if looking for the right words. "We brought you here because we need to do some work in your world. & you would've just gotten in our way, so we are going to keep you here till we're done."
"Oh no you won't!" Shouted 008 as he pulled out his laser & tried to jump over the robots.
It was a futile attempt because the robots had been programmed to detect their every move & prevent their escape. The nearest robot grabbed 008 by the leg & through him against the wall. It then proceeded to grab him by the throat & squeeze tighter & tighter until it seemed as though 008's neck would break. The cyborgs gasped in horror but were surprised to see their alternate selves just as worried.
"Robot!" Nine shouted quickly. "That's enough, release him!"
The robot did as it was commanded & 008 dropped to the floor unconscious. 004 tried to run & help him but was blocked by the other robots. Instead, the alternate 004 & 005 picked him up carefully & took him away.
"I think we should end this conversation before anything else happens." Said Nine. "One, you know what to do."
"Right." Said the small cyborg in black & purple who was lying in Two's arms. "Nighty-night."
Suddenly, 009 felt a strange exhaustion come over him. He noticed that it had affected the others too. He realized that the alternate 001 had used his mind powers to tranquilize them. He fell to the ground & everything went black. The last thing he heard was his other self saying, "sweet dreams Joe."
