Hello, this is your perfectly normal authoress here. I have gotten into my twentieth year on Harvest Moon ((haha, normal right there)); meaning I've done EVERY SINGLE GODFORSAKEN EVENT THERE IS TO DO! MUST…REMAIN…NORMAL! :runs around with her overalls, flannel white shirt, brown boots, orange and blue hat, and her hair flying all over: ((for those who don't know, that's the typical HM guy dress, minus the long hair.))
The chapter's title is just for fun. It went through about fifteen name changes (all the way from 'Fly Me to the Moon' to 'The City of Wind') So yup. Mage went out and stole all the copyright info, so I own EVERYTHING! MUAHAHAHAHAHA! (EVEN THE ROCKET DAN INTRODUCTION! XD)

The Cyborg Children
Chapter Seven: Saving Private Celeste
-&-&-&-&-
"How's it going?" 004 asked, floating in mid-air. "I love doing this. Anywho, Punkie said she wants us to bring back Zero-cha or have our heads hanging."
"That sounds remotely like something I said to 0022," Julia noted.
"Hey, squirt, miss me?" 0022 asked, shooting a hole for himself to drop through. Julia looked ready to grab him and tie him in the tightest knot possible.
"Of course I did, Mister Sensitive." Julia snapped, enraged that her boots weren't in range.
"So then, where's 000?" 001 asked, dropping through 0022's hole. "Oh, no, we didn't want the boy to come with us. 009 thought he would be good to take along as a mind slave. And 004, shall I call for the backup?"
"May as well. She'll be flying in any time anyway, so why not just call and make sure on where she is? It's pretty obvious that she'll have everyone else with her. So let's get them here and kidnap the princess!" 004 shouted, tossing 001 her cell phone. 004's cell phone happened to be electric orange. 001 stopped the cell phone midway and sent it flying back, and took out her own green one.
"Punkie. Yes, it is us. We're here. Now, are you on your way?" 001 asked into the cell phone. There was silence for a minute, then, "Okay. See you in five." She pressed a button and slid the phone back into a pocket. "009 is on her way with everyone else right behind. Prepare for trouble."
"And make it double!" 004 chorused. ((A/N: I watch waaaaaaaaaay too much Poke'mon…you don't have to read this next bit of stupidity))
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Black!"
"Ghost!"
"Team BG blasting off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Punkie-cha, that's right!" 009 shouted, coming down by way of 0022's hole. ((A/N: that was fun! Randomly spoofing stuff is AWESOME!))
"And we all came to drag 0021 back with us," 0023 said, grabbing 0022's hair and yanking him upward. "Oh, don't think that I didn't want to come. Working with the Megas is always a fun job."
"Glad to hear it, 0023!" A girl wearing excessive purple cheered. Her wispy blond hair had its ends dyed royal purple and tied into high pigtails, and her eyes were red. Unlike the other females in the Megas Project, she wore a button-up, collared, cuffed, extremely light purple shirt and a dark purple necktie. She wore a plaid purple skirt and knee-high violet socks, and to finish it off, her elevated tennis shoes were light purple. Maybe she was fifteen, or older. It was hard to tell with her bubbly schoolgirl look and Australian accent.
"006!" 004 shouted. "Let's finish these stinkers off!"
"On the money, 004! Lookin' outstanding!" 006 shouted back, seemingly as bouncy as 004 was. Both 004 and 006 drew out their guns (which were their respective colors), and fired about twenty bullets combined.
(EMMA!) Ivan bellowed in his mind. (Wake up!)
(You wouldn't mean 0021, would you?) Emma answered.
(Just let me take forcefields.) Ivan pleaded.
(Feel free,) Emma said. (Just don't tell the others in the projects.)
Ivan felt like white-hold metal was being poured into his blood. Emma's power was flying through him like the subway trains did. The feeling was growing familiar when the power flew around, but it would take a while.
"Hey 006!" Ivan shouted, more Emma's voice than his own. "Do you know who you're ripping off?"
"Hey, there are more of us up here!" Some older girl called. A streak of orange rammed through the wall, letting a twenty-something girl in. She wore a traffic-cone orange trucker cap with the Blink-182 logo and a Blink-182 orange t-shirt. ((A/N: ROSE, THIS IS FOR YOU!)) Her hair was a crazy shade of dyed orange and her eyes were brown, covered by glasses. She wore long denim shorts and diamond-pattern orange socks and ultra-high-top red plaid Converse. Ivan got the thought that she was about nineteen.
"Hey, 005! Where are the others?" 009 asked.
"Right here!" Yet another girl screamed. She walked through 006's hole to reveal her cyborg-specific color. It was a beautiful shade of blue-green, and it was represented in a flared sleeve hoodie very well. Her hair was streaked with bubblegum pink, naturally dark blond and tied in a low ponytail, and her eyes were striking gray. The flared jeans she wore bore tie-dyed patches and her shoes were tie-dyed with only two colors: blue and green. You got the impression that she was about seventeen.
"Yeah, how could you forget us?" One last girl asked, coming through. "Besides, not all of us have come yet." Evidently, she was going to be the last to arrive. The hair on her head was as white as snow, tied in low pigtails, and her eyes were a stormy gray. She wore a black t-shirt with a silver lowercase 'm', and a tiered miniskirt with three colors: white, gray, and black. One sock was striped with black and white, and the other was gray. Her shoes were perfect white. There was no way she was older than twenty-six.
"The entire Megas Project," Celeste breathed. "Finally."
-&-&-&-
"I'm a schoolgirl," The remainder of the rebels said in unison.
"Oh wow, that's funny," Madison giggled. "Jet, you look like a million bucks. Let's get a picture!"
"Very funny." He grumbled.
-&-&-&-
"Julia! Your back is exposed!" Sophia shouted. She would have run to help Julia, but she was already joined at the hip with Florence. Julia quickly whirled around and evaded an attack from 005, who just as quickly went at it again.
009 had remained on the couch nearly the entire time, watching her team fight. Her large, crimson eyes stared emptily into oblivion. At one point she just said to her nothing world, "Why am I bothering to do this? Hikaru doesn't like it this way. Talk about sweet sixteen turned sour."
"009?" The blue-green cyborg asked. "Is there anyone home?"
009 snapped out of her nothing world. "Huh? Oh, hello 007. Nice weather, ne?"
"Nice weather to be kicking CAN!" Julia shouted, kicking an unsuspecting 007 in the rear end.
"Hai, Julia-chan!" Celeste shouted. 006 got ticked off. Purple flames shot out of her hands, threatening the burn anything that came close. She laughed at the sudden wave of shock that spread around the room.
"What's the matter, never seen fire of another color?" She asked, showing that her shoes housed rockets with purple flames. "Chemical compound in it. Seriously, it's almost as wicked as surfing!"
"Hikaru, for your information, stopped caring," 009 said. 006 looked blankly at her leader.
"Nani?" Celeste asked. ((Japanese for 'what'))
The two girls began going back and forth in Japanese, leaving everyone else outside their world, fighting. 006 floated around with her purple rockets, spewing purple flames. 006 and 007 let her zoom around for a while, and then 005 got fed up and unleashed orange water from her fingertips.
"0021 SAYS STOP!" A voice screamed. It was like Emma's voice, and yet, it was much more mature than Emma's voice. For one thing, it had a deeper tone to it. The voice was beautiful and melodic, warm and welcoming. Once everything had frozen, its bearer stepped out.
She looked just like Emma would have.
If Emma was eighteen. Her hair was tied in buns above her ears, but half the long, strawberry-blond hair had tumbled out. The large, expressive hazel eyes had remained the same and so had her dress. The only difference was her expanded bust and long legs, which made her seem like a grown woman. ((A/N: I shall call the buns ondangos. Do not mess with the suds.))
"0021 says return to the past." She said.
-&-&-&-
They were falling…
Falling…Celeste jerked awake in a dark room, laying flat on her back. It felt like she'd fallen down a very large distance, for everything in her body seemed out of place. The wind was knocked out of her lungs, and she fought to inhale. All around her, the air seemed hot, but yet it was icy cold. The queer passivity that held her wound itself around her body then retracted.
Something told Celeste in her confused head that she was the only one.
-&-&-&-
Julia sat bolt upright, looking around for others. Celeste lay next to her, struggling to breathe. She could feel another presence, and there were many of them.
"Julia?"
"Yes?"
"Oh, good, someone else is here."
"Hello. Who are you?"
Julia heard someone slap himself or herself. "You mean after two weeks of living with me you don't know my voice? Oy, that's messed up."
"Ah, hello Sophia. Sorry 'bout that."
"'S'okay. Where are we?" Sophia asked, feeling her way toward Julia in the darkness.
"That's a good question. Is there anyone else here?" Julia asked.
"I know the rest of them are still asleep, but I don't know how many," Sophia answered.
"Are you here?" Someone asked.
"I guess," Sophia said.
A glowing figure with ondangos appeared, beautiful with her blue shirt and hazel eyes. Both girls gaped for a minute, then snapped out of it.
"Good God, I've been looking for you for hours. Julia and Sophia, I'm sorry for the lack of explanation. I'm the older version of Emma, or 0021. You're trapped in my head." She said, brushing her strawberry hair out of her face.
"Okay. Now how do we get out?" Julia asked.
"You trust me, and then you find your path out." 0021 replied. "I can only take five at a time, and all the Megas are in here too. They'll be dead weight to carry, but I think I can do it."
"Nnnnnnooooo…I'll help…" 009 moaned from some close place.
0021 rushed to help 009 up. 009 began to radiate the same light 0021 was. 009 accepted 0021's hand and stood, with a lot of effort.
"Now, what you were saying. I'll help. And also, over there, Celeste told me what was going on. I met your parents, each and every one of them. I want to help you. I don't know if the rest of my team will want to, but I'll try like heck. 0022 and 0023 are still bent on killing you, though." 009 said. "You did some pretty serious damage to 0022's…area…"
Julia burst out laughing. 009 smiled, as did 0021.
"Well, I'll take 001, Ivan, 002, 003 and 004 first," 0021 said. "That way we can get them under control before all hell breaks loose, and Ivan can help."
0021 held the five named hands', then looked upward. Periwinkle light erupted from her body, and they were gone when the light faded. 009 also had her eyes facing upward, but she was violently shaking.
0021 lightly touched back down. "Alright, 009. That was pretty good. Julia, is Celeste over there?"
"Yeah," Julia replied.
"We need to bring her up right away," 0021 said, her tone grave. "Something's wrong, and Issac and Ivan can't figure it out. I'll take her, Florence, Rene, Angelina and Liana this time. 009, don't help me this time. I can manage."
With that, 0021 returned with the next group of five. This continued for a while, until there was no one but 009, Julia and Sophia left. 0021 landed in front of them, looking pale and worn down.
"All of you are going to need to help, because carrying dead weight like that is brutal." 0021 said, grabbing their hands in hers. "Now Julia and Sophia, don't panic about this process. Once you feel like you're about to fall, pull yourself upward with everything you've got. Otherwise, we probably won't find you again," There was a dry laugh heard all around as they were engulfed by periwinkle and pink light.
Immediately, Sophia and Julia felt the force pulling down. They joined hands and together mentally pulled themselves up.
"DAMN!" Julia yelled, with more power than she'd ever used before. She rolled off something onto a hard surface and screamed in pain. 0021 stood looking over her as she rolled onto her back.
"I think you were the one who showed up the best," 0021 said merrily. "With all the noise you made falling off the bed, you would have thought someone was trying to murder you,"
"Where's Celeste?" Julia demanded, rising off the ground.
Celeste's head poked out from around the corner. She gave a loud sniffle and a sneeze before charging over to hug Julia. Julia took the embrace strangely; for it was the first hug she'd ever received from a friend. She squeezed Celeste back.
"I'm going to go back to my other body and have a nice long sleep," 0021 said, fading away. "Later, Julia!"
And just like that, 0021 was gone. Ivan walked into the room where Julia and Celeste stood, and walked to Celeste.
"What happened to you, Celeste?" He asked. She turned pink.
"I have no idea, Ivan. Seriously, I don't. All I remember was feeling like something had rearranged my body and I couldn't breathe," Celeste answered. "When I came back here, it felt like my head would explode from pressure,"
"I doubt our depth has anything to do with that," Ivan noted. He pressed a hand to Celeste's forehead, then felt Julia's. "You're warm, though, Celeste. Go to bed early tonight. You don't want to hear us talk out our plans, do you?"
Celeste was able to raise her own hand to Ivan's forehead and give him a painful flick, of which she never would have attempted before. Julia and her ran off to where Issac was negotiating with the Megas and 0022 and 0023.
"Listen, all of you. I'm quite frankly being the dancing monkey. If you want to keep doing it, then be that way! Keep living your lives under a monarch!" 009 screamed, standing on a table.
"I can't say I don't agree with 009. The only problem I have is that Black Ghost is trying to make the world a better place, not trying to destroy it. I can't see how you dreamed up that illusion, 009. Even being raised in Osaka, I don't know how you dreamed up something that." 001 said, painting her nails electric green.
009 screamed in rage and hurled a ball of pink flames at 001. 001 held up her hand and a green flame cancelled out 009's. 006 and 008 looked at one another and rolled their eyes in a 'not again' fashion.
"OY! STUFF YOUR PIEHOLES FOR A BLASTED MINUTE!" 006 boomed. "Thank you. Now, I can understand what Pinkie is saying. When I visited the other 006, they all looked like they were doing the right thing. It makes no sense that we be chock full of crazy powers if not to ruin the world. And I've seen the pictures. I've seen the cities crumbling at the hands of a merciless tyrant. And I've…."
"Alright, Kiara, we've heard enough of this crap." 001 said. "I don't know who to believe. Where's Zero-cha?"
"Well last time I checked, Stephanie, she was SLEEPING!" 006 screamed, outraged.
"She's asleep," 009 said. "I'll see if I can get in contact with her."
(Um, I feel awkward doing this.) 009 said.
(You're telling me,) Emma/0021 replied groggily. (Well, this must be for a good reason. It better be. I need to sleep for a long time,)
(I'm so very sorry. But just listen to me.)
(I'm all ears.)
(We have a problem. Is Black Ghost evil or trying to improve the world?)
(Hikaru-chan, you're a wonderful person. I respect you, both of us do. I can tell that you hate Black Ghost, just as Emma can. You're a bright girl, and you've got the spirit of a million people. Now you tell me: would a person trying to improve the world torture you for showing human emotion?)
(No….)
(Exactly.)
(I thank you for the compliments. But now I'm scared that I'll be discovered. You remember when I visited the original projects? I was tortured for feeling compassion. I see where this is going, Emma.)
(Then tell me.)
(Rebel!)
(I told you that you were smart.)
(The problem is that they have bombs in our bodies, ready to explode if we decided to do just that.)
(Pretend you aren't. Act like you're still loyal. We'll be ready for when we see you again. Now, both Emma and myself need sleep or we'll never be able to move from this bed again. Good night, Hikaru-cha.)
(Night, Emma.)
(I'm not Emma.)
(Fine.)
"Well?" 004 demanded, impatient turquoise eyes blazing. "What do we do?"
"We're going back," 009 replied. "But we're helping the cyborgs' children as of right now."
-&-&-&-
Ivan gazed in on the sleeping Emma. She was curled up, hugging a pillow. Her short strawberry-blond was knotted in various places, but she wasn't making a point of fixing it in the near future. Besides, she had just saved twenty people with hardly any help. Why should she worry about hair?
(Emma,) He said. She shifted in her sleep, but made no attempt to reply. (Emma!) Still, there was no reply from Emma. This was the first time she had not replied, ever.
Ivan left the room; not giving a second thought to the fact that Emma was rapidly growing in her sleep.
"Oh, hello Ivan." Celeste said suddenly, dropping down off the ceiling. "The Megas are staying here tonight. Hikaru said she'd pilot us to a mall in Great Britain, then take the rest of the Megas back to their headquarters in the mornin'. 0022 and 0023 already went back, thank goodness. Julia would have killed them otherwise."
"Feeling any better, then?" Ivan asked. Celeste nodded energetically.
"You bet!" She cheered.
"In there! Celeste and Ivan! We're havin' something to eat, so hurry up before we eat it all on ya!" 009 shouted. Her Osaka accent had made itself much more pronounced in the last half-hour, so she now sounded like a much younger girl.
-&-&-&-
"Bye, Celeste! I'll see you soon!" 009 called softly from the dock of the pier.
"Later Hikaru!" Celeste called back. All the Megas (minus Emma) vanished into blurs of color. Celeste stood with her back to the wind, so her yellow cape fluttered out in front of her. Julia jumped down off the top to land herself perfectly on Celeste's shoulders, but completely freaking Celeste out in the process.
"We should be going," Sophia said, landing on her feet. She had swapped her magenta cape for a long scarf, which she warped around her neck many times. "Besides, we want to get back in time for this to work."
Slowly, the other girls and Ivan jumped down. It was a crisp autumn morning in England, and they were all prepared to spend it getting the last things they'd need. It was their last stop before they would head off toward where the Megas said Black Ghost could be found.
So they took off toward the nearest mall, under Sophia's direction. The wind blew strongly through the trees, picking off red leaves as it blew.
"There, I told you it wasn't far," Sophia said, walking into a large square. "This is it. I hope it isn't too small, but this is the largest in the area."
Celeste joyfully skipped out to meet Sophia, rustling up leaves as she went. "It's beautiful, like a postcard! Is it like this every year?"
"As long as I've been here, yes." Sophia replied. "And that's never been here before."
What she was referring to was what looked like a circus tent, which looked so due to its yellow and red stripes.
"Let's go see what it is," Julia said.
Everyone walked toward the huge tent. As they approached, Rene noticed something strange. Outside, there was a girl on a unicycle. She was wearing an all-black uniform that had a black long-sleeve shirt, black skin-tight pants, knee-high black boots, a long black cape, four large black buttons on her shirt, and a small black skirt. Her seafoam green hair was only to her shoulders, and her yellow eyes were large and unseeing.
"It's 002!" Angelina exclaimed. The girl on the unicycle looked up.
"Welcome," She said. Her voice had a metallic quality to it. "Ten dollars entrance fee, five dollars for children under sixteen."
"002, don't you remember us? Celeste? Rene? Ivan?" Celeste asked. 002 looked at them for a minute, then took out her gun.
"We were told you were fighting us," She said. "Now, pay up and enter."
Sophia sighed and took forty-five dollars out of her wallet. 002 accepted it and cycled away to grant them entrance.
Once inside, Julia looked closely at the acrobats. All of them were wearing the same uniform that 002 was, and after looking for five minutes with glasses, she saw that all the Megas were performing. One acrobat with strawberry blond hair caught her hair. Julia tugged on Sophia's sleeve.
"Isn't that Emma?" She demanded. All the performers stopped and walked toward the girls and Ivan.
009 tried to speak, but she screamed in pain instead. The other Megas looked at her as if she were insane, but 009 tried speaking anyway. "H-hello-o-o C-c-ce-l-l-e-s-s-te." A brilliant bolt of blue lightning coursed through her body, and she howled at the pain it was causing her. 002 cycled in from outside to find the source of the noise. The tent then grew steel bars and turned pitch black. The strawberry blond headed girl gave Sophia a glance, then turned her attention elsewhere. A large yellow light shone from the top of the…whatever it was…to show an interesting person.
They had their short brown hair pulled back in a jagged ponytail and pointed hazel eyes that cut into you. Their rippling muscles had their glamour emphasized by the light and the shirt was a white one with a simple black circle at the center. Their legs were small as twigs and as long as branches, covered by a pair of baggy denim shorts. On their feet were black G-Unit shoes.
"Welcome, welcome, ladies and gentlemen!" They shouted. It was there that Liana decided it was a guy. "Welcome to the G and B Circus, presented in dead color by the Megas Project numbers zero through nine!"
-&-&-&-
Far away were the true Megas, living their old lives. 009 was back in her beloved Osaka, downing sushi and sake faster than the speed of light. Her hair was tied in a French braid, and her wallet was bottomless. She thought that her parents were paying for her meal, but it was really Black Ghost. The meal she was having in reality would be stale bread and filthy water, but she didn't know that. All that mattered was that her body was fighting for the organization.
001 was standing at her old home, the home she had lived in while she was training for the Olympics. That seemed like last eternity, but it hadn't been that long ago. She was only fourteen, and they had kicked her off the team when she was eleven. Stephanie Wong hadn't cared, but her family felt the blow in the pocketbook. Right then, Stephanie didn't care that she was gone from the team. Her hands went over the familiar ground as she turned her body upside-down. Slowly, she did her old routine. The man in charge of her false reality smiled in spite of himself. He cracked out some white wine and sipped generously from the bottle as the real 001 fought for dominance in Great Britain.
-&-&-&-
001's body turned graceful through the air, landing at last on the other platform. Although her audience wasn't cheering, she was delighted. The green gun that was housed in a small pocket came out and fired lasers at the unsuspecting humans below the platform. Her thin red beam struck no humans.
009 neatly twirled out of 003's hands then lifted her leg into a 160-degree angle. Her brown hair, which was braided, whipped through the air. The ringleader man applauded as the different cyborgs pulled off their different feats, but it was false cheer. The Megas seemed to lap it right up.
"Please, Emma! Snap out of it!" Sophia begged, diving into the splits to avoid about twenty bullets. Emma made no sign of trying to stop. She continued to fire away while Ivan pelted her with mental comments.
(Emma! Emma, dammit, I'm going to drain you!) He roared. Emma continued her process on Sophia. Ivan found the familiar power to take Emma's energy and connected himself to her.
(Ivan? What are you doing?) Emma asked from some far off location. He didn't respond to her. He couldn't. The white-hot metal raged through his blood, making him feel more alive than he ever had. (IVAN! DON'T! I'm having such a wonderful time. Oh Ivan, it's wonderful. It's Sophie's house. Uncle Britain is serving us tea, and it is just so very pleasant. I wish you were here,)
(I wish you were here too,) Ivan replied. (You're destroying all of us right now.)
Right then, 000 held her arms out and cast out and let out a large explosion. Ivan threw his own arms out and cast out a blazing white forcefield to protect the girls behind him, and they held their arms over their eyes.
The light faded into the air. 000 stood holding her small palm outward still, threatening to kill. Julia looked ready to kill with her mere facial expression. Her ferocious green eyes had grown daggers in seconds, and in her hand was a long skinny red cheerleading baton. She twirled her baton deftly, tossing it upward every once in a while.
Julia then noticed that everyone was watching her and her red baton. "What? Oh, you're all wondering how I can use it. Well then. 009, come here."
009 stepped toward Julia. Julia held out her baton, smiling politely. Before 009 came within three feet of Julia, however, Julia twirled the baton into a blur of red and attacked 009 straight on. 009 didn't have the time to avoid the attack, so took it.
"That's enough, Miss Link!" The ringleader shouted. He pulled out a long whip that looked pretty high-tech and cracked it. Julia stopped to watch him. 009 danced away from Julia altogether and joined hands with the ringleader. He accepted her smaller hand and spun her gently around.
"Now, to repay you for earlier," 002 said, taking aim. Julia stood in open range, holding her baton at the ready. 002 fired a single bullet, then ran toward Julia. Julia wasn't prepared, so she was gifted with a hard kick in the stomach. 002 smirked as Julia flew backwards with the velocity of the kick.
"THAT'S JUST ABOUT ENOUGH, MISSIE!" A melodic voice called from outside. "I say that it's time for this game to end,"
With that, a translucent figure dropped from the sky near 000. When she had regained her full color, everyone saw that it was 0021. The ringleader snarled. "Well, if it isn't the 0021 herself! Welcome, welcome, to the big top!"
"0021, don't." Sophia hissed. "I've got this under control."
Sophia wove in-between the traffic of the Megas then struck the male ringleader from behind. He seemed to take a minute to feel the pain, and then it hit him. Sophia was standing in a warrior's pose, an evil grin spread across her face. He turned around and gave her a wicked laugh, attacking with his whip. Sophia hit the dirt just in time to avoid the blue lightning that crackled along the whip.
"Not bad for the child of prototype 007," The ringleader said pointedly. "Your defense is very good, but your offense is horrendous. Still, not bad for the cousin of the middle-girl."
"Who's the middle-girl?" Sophia demanded. The ringleader laughed his evil laugh again.
"Oh, you haven't figured it out?" He asked, pulling up the hood of an unseen cloak. "Your cousin 0021, or Zero, whichever you prefer, is the middle-girl. We call her that because she's part of both projects."
"You say that like she's some kind of pet!" Julia screamed, choking him with her baton.
(Emma, WHAT IS GOING ON?) Ivan demanded to Emma.
(I told you. I'm having tea.) Emma responded.
(No, you aren't. You're here, fighting me. 0021's here also.) Ivan said.
(No way! I can't be in two places at once! You must be dreaming, Ivan.) Emma answered, delight and anger swirling together in her voice. (Here. I'll see what it's like seeing through your eyes,)
At once, Ivan's vision doubled. After a minute, it returned to normal. He involuntarily turned his head to survey the fight, and stopping at each person to see them. Then, he turned around to look at 0021.
(Then where am I right now?) Emma asked. (I can see what you mean now. But then where are we? How can we go on fighting like this when…)
(Let Sam-chan in!) A childish voice commanded. Underneath, there was an older girl's voice that seemed to want to hide.
(007? Is that you….?) Emma asked, shocked by the outburst.
(That's correct-o! Something's up-up! My family just pulled out samurai swords and said they wanted to see how skilled I was with martial artsies!) 007 replied.
007's real body charged towards Julia, getting ready for one heck of a strike. Julia stopped trying to murder the ringleader for a minute and whammed 007 with the baton over the head instead. 007 stopped dead in her tracks and keel over on top of the ringleader, and both hit their heads brutally on the cement ground.
Sophia stooped down and punched the ringleader in the nose. "I think you did them in, but why don't we get them once more just to make sure?"
0021 stepped forward to grab the baton. Her hands ran over the surface, like they were hunting something. When they stopped, she said, "Julia, where did you get this?"
"My friend's a cheerleader, so she gave it to me," Julia answered, taking what was hers back.
"What happened to my head?" 007 asked, sitting up. Her yellow eyes were like looking into a clear night sky with fantastic stars. "Last I's remember is having my whole family try and fight me back home…"
"Dude, my little five-year-old sister started doing kung-fu!" 002 exclaimed, the clouds gone from her yellow eyes. "And what the heck am I wearing? It's NOT blue!"
0021 and 000 looked at one another in the eyes, acting like they were going to hunt. Without warning, 0021 sat down and 000 held her hand. They vanished into one another, leaving one very exhausted Emma sitting on the ground.
"We're back, and plan to stay this way," She said, curling in a ball and falling asleep.

"Proper introduction is in order!" Julia shrieked. The Megas looked at her with wide eyes, wondering exactly what to think about her.
"Fine. My name is Stephanie and that's all you need to know," 001 said.
"I could give you the full rundown, but I'll spare the time. The name's Areas. Michelle Areas." 002 said, downing a full glass of beer. "I apologize if I get drunk. I hate being a slave for that moron,"
With that, she and 006 slapped hands and drunk three more glasses.
"How goes it? My friends call me Rina, but to those unfamiliar, I'm Ariana. I suppose all of you could call me Rina…" 004 said. "And his name is Neal. He doesn't talk very much at all."
003 looked up from whatever he was doing. He waved at everyone, then focused his dark eyes on his work.
The orange-clad girl spoke up. "I'm 005, or as I call myself, Five-kun. If you don't want to call me that, then call me Rose."
006 looked pretty spaced out as she started talking gibberish. "Sorry for that. M'name is Kiara. I, like Michelle, apologize in advance for being drunk."
007 was sitting cross-legged under the table, meditating. She poked her head out after she heard Kiara talking. "Kobanwa, I'm Sam-chan! Animanga-holic am I, hai!" She exclaimed. Celeste seemed pretty interested in this person, and didn't seem to want to hide it.
"You all know 009's name. I'm Mizuki, but everyone calls me Mage. Some dare and call me Mika or Mao. I really don't care. Just get it right." 008 said, wiping her silver cell phone clean. "Sorry, this isn't my natural color. I dyed it a while back just to piss my mother off." She smirked slightly, then developed it into a full-blown smile to reveal a set of fangs. "If my teeth scare you, it's nothing. They gave me these things when they captured me, along with my garlic. No, just kidding. I hyperglued them in at the same time I did my hair."
"Well, Mage, do you wanna get drunk?" Kiara asked, hanging over the side of her chair.
Mage gave her a funky look, then turned away. "Um….I'm under the age. I'm only nineteen."
"You're old enough to be my granny," Kiara replied. "I'm fifteen, this is my tenth time hittin' the bottle. No, don't worry. It's not bad yet."
"Yet," All the cyborg children said together. Morning was going to be beautiful if this drunken party kept up.

"GOOD MORNING!" Sam shouted cheerfully, arm in arm with Julia. "It's a GREAT day for HACKING the international data base!"
Liana was already awake, cooking up something. Michelle was asleep across the floor, Kiara not far behind her spread across three chairs. Both their hands clutched empty mugs. Sam pranced over them, receiving looks from Liana. Julia giggled and went right after her, glasses and all.
"Well, what do you expect? I'm only fourteen," Sam snapped. ((more alliteration.))
"I get the feeling that when they wake up, you're going to be helping me an awful lot, then." Sophia remarked. "It is not going to be a pretty picture."
"I know what you mean," Mage and Sam said together.
"Well, I'm off to go hack some major corporation! Have a fun day!" Sam exclaimed.
"Oh well," Mage said smugly. "I guess she takes that off my list. I'll help you with them."
"Why are you so happy?" Florence asked.
"Because," Mage answered, "I need some time to brood. Why not then?"
"Good reason," Florence said with a heap of sarcasm.
"Damn my head," Kiara cursed. She rolled off the stools on top of Michelle, who made no intention of shoving her off. The purple cyborg sat dazed on the ground.
"Time for fun," The three girls chorused.
