Here is the next chapter! I kinda wanted to apologize for my odd behavior in the last chapter. I just lose control whenever it comes to... Fay. Ahh, but I'm getting off track. So now, on with the chapter! plus, I'd like to thank Kuramafangirl11, I'm glad to know 004 has so many fans. ALBERT ROCKS!

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

Four opened his eyes slowly, wondering how he could have been so stupid as to fall for that trick. Then again, how was he to know that 009 could do something like that? He sat up & saw his other self pointing his metal fingers at him.

"Stay where you are." Said 004, in a calm voice.

"…You & I both know that you won't shoot me." His double replied.

"& how would you know that?"

"…The same way you know that you won't need to."

"…" 004 lowered his arm, & Four got back on his feet. "So now what?"

"We could talk."

"(Humph!) What could we have to talk about? You & your friends brought us here & ambushed us so you could remodel our world to suit your tastes."

"…If you knew what we went through you wouldn't be so quick to judge. You & I know better than anyone what kind of world we grew up in… a cruel, dark world devoid of love & kindness. That is how this world was before we took control. & how your world is now. But under our rule this world has become a safe place to live, where two people can raise a family together… without fear."

"…"

"Then you see why I have done what I have done. We all had our reasons… but that was mine. I never want what happened to us to happen to anyone ever again."

"I'm still not convinced that you're going about it in the right way."

"Then why don't you see for yourself what we have accomplished." Four tossed 004 a set of keys.

"What are these for?"

"We're going for a drive."

004 was still unsure about what his other self meant, but he decided to go along with it. Even though 007 had been mistaken about his double, 004 felt sure that this alternate cyborg was trustworthy.

Meanwhile, 009 & the others had located the hospital. It was more like a laboratory/prison from the looks of it, but it was here that 008 was being treated. 009 decided that the best way of getting their friend out was by pretending to be their other selves. Because she did not exist in this reality, 003 gave 001 to 002 & stayed behind to keep watch. But she could not help but worry about her friends as they walked into that strange building.

No sooner did they walk in than a man came out & greeted them.

"Ah, welcome Sirs! What a pleasant surprise to see you here! How can I help you?"

"Take us to see the prisoner, the cyborg we brought from another dimension." Said 009, trying to imitate his double's harsh voice.

"Ah, of course. Right this way." The man led them down a hallway. "By the way, may I ask why you are wearing the old uniforms?"

"Uh…" 009 thought for a minute. "We are going to interrogate the prisoner & make him think we are his friends from the other dimension."

"Of course, I should have guessed." 009 sighed in relief that his ruse worked. They soon came to a door. "Here it is…" the man was about to unlock the door when he remembered something. "Oh! I almost forgot your orders. May I have the password please?"

"Password?" 009 whispered, half to himself & half to 001 who began to probe the man's mind for the answer. He found it & gave it to 009.

Gamma.

"Gamma." 009 repeated.

"Yes, that is the password…" The man pushed a button. "But Seven was supposed to say it!" he ran away before the walls opened up & revealed more robots. Many more robots! The robots attacked & the cyborgs defended themselves, but it was inevitable that they would have to flee. 005 broke down the door & found 008 lying unconscious on a small bed. He then picked him up & ran with the others for the exit, with 009 & 002 fighting off the robots to make a path. 003 sensed the trouble & ran at once to help her friends.

Not far away, the two 004 cyborgs were driving through the city. Four sat in the passenger seat while 004 drove. 004 saw that there was indeed no crime or war, but the people still lived in fear… fear of the police robots that their cyborg masters had deployed to "keep the peace".

"Well, what do you think?" Said Four, as he watched what he perceived as perfection. "No muggers, no bank robbers, no car thieves,"

"No freedom." 004 whispered to himself as he watched the sad lives of the people along the street. One man commented on how harsh the laws were while sitting at a café, unaware that a robot was right behind him who heard everything he said & put him in handcuffs to be sent to jail.

"What do you think she would think of this place?" 004 asked, as they passed by this unfortunate scene.

"Who?" Four asked.

"Hilda. How do you think she would like this 'new world'? She would probably be proud of you Albert… especially since she died to get away from this kind of life."

004's alternate self just stared blankly at him for a moment before answering. "Just drive." Four turned back towards the window & didn't say anything else to 004. But now when he looked out the window, he began to see less & less of his "perfection".

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

There you go! I hope my fellow 004 fans liked the way I incorporated Hilda in this chapter. I have always felt so bad about poor Albert losing his love. (sobs) & what sucks is that it might have happened again but I wont know for a while because those morons at Cartoon Network took Cyborg 009 off again! AAAAARRRRRGH!! Stupid stupid Cartoon Network! (hits Cartoon Network over the head with baseball bat) Anywho... See ya next chapter!
