(I dont own Cyborg 009)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He finally awoke from his dream, but found himself secured by the wrists, ankles, & waist to the back wall of a small cell. Even if he had been able to move he wouldn't have had the room to do it because there was only a few inches between him & the in front or to either side of him. The walls of his cell were clear so he could see outside of them. The others had been put on either side of him in cells similar to his but designed especially for their individual sizes & powers.

"Good morning." 009 heard the harsh voice of his other self & soon saw the alternate cyborgs standing in front of them. "How did you sleep?"

"Where is 008!?" asked 009, still furious. "What have you done with him?"

"Don't worry." Nine replied. "He's safe & sound at a special hospital."

"That's all well & good," Said 002. "But what are you going to do with us?"

"We have already taken care of you." 009's double turned to 002. "With you here we can proceed to rebuild your world the way we have rebuilt ours."

"What do you mean 'rebuild'?" Asked 007.

"He means we are going to take control of your world & eliminate crime & war." Replied the cyborg who looked like 005 but with a shaved head. "The same way we eliminated crime & war from our world."

"But don't you see?" Said 003. "The way you 'eliminate' war & crime is wrong! You cannot force peace upon the world!"

"Why not?" Asked Nine. "We never succeeded in bringing peace to the world by fighting futile battles & stopping a few mad scientists. The only way was by force… & it took a very large sacrifice to make me see that…" Nine looked sad for a moment but regained his composure. "But now we have obtained what we have always dreamed of! What you always wanted! World peace!"

"World peace!?" 003 was mad now. "It was your 'peace' that put 008 in the hospital!!"

009's opposite gritted his teeth & shouted, "That was an accident!! We're doing everything we can for him! The last thing I want is to lose another…" Nine didn't finish the sentence; he just looked at 003 with what could possibly have been regret. It looked for a moment like he would cry, but he just turned away 7 said in his harsh voice, "Let's go. I am finished explaining myself to them. They just don't understand." He walked to the door & was followed by the others. "Four, you stay here & guard them."

"Will do." Replied 004's other self as the others left for the room where the dimensional device was held.

"009," 009 heard 001's voice in his mind. His cell lessened his mental powers but he could still communicate with the others. "009, can you hear me?"

"Yeah," 009 replied. "I can hear you. What is up with these guys? Especially the other version of me?"

"It's like he said, they must have experienced some sort of tragedy to make them go over the edge."

"…But… what would make them act like that?"

"One of them must have been killed in battle & judging from how many of them there were & how Nine acted around 003, you can guess who it was."

"You mean…?" 009 looked in 003's direction. "No wonder Nine seemed so cold & harsh, that must be what I would be like if 003 really did…"

"It's more than likely. These cyborgs are our exact doubles, except they have chosen a different path than us. If we do manage to escape… it will be difficult for us to defeat them."

009 heard 001's voice no more. He knew that the young cyborg was resting.

But 009 still wondered if what 001 said was true. If they could escape… how would they fight themselves?
