"." ~ The way the 00 Cyborgs talk

[.] ~ Vivianne's mental talk.

...

Alright, enough chattering...

On to the show...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

002 dropped to his knees with a dull thud. "No. No, she can't be gone," he muttered to himself. He kneeled on the floor, clutching his head in desperation. Alex let out a soft gasp while hugging 004 for support. 004 embraced her in his warmth repeating soothing words to her. "Don't worry, Alex. She's gonna be ok. We'll get her back, somehow," he said. "No! She's not gone. She's NOT gone!!" 002 yelled, frantically hoping that his lover did not fly out of existence. 0029's eyes widened with realization at what she had just done. "Oh my god. What have I done?" she whispered to herself, covering her shocked mouth with her trembling hand. She glanced over at 002 who was sobbing uncontrollably. 0029 walked over and put a gentle hand on 002's back. He stiffened. "002, I'm so sorry. I didn't know what else I should do. It seemed like the plan I had got. But, I did manage to place a tracking device on her. 002, 002?" Vivianne's face turned to a look of trouble. Obviously, she noticed how 002 stiffened at her touch. "Get you filthy hands off my body," he said, voice muffled from his arms. 0029 stood up quickly and retreated a few steps. "Um. 002, are you alright?" 0029 asked, carefully.

"Alright?"

002 stood up laughing like a maniac.

"Alright?!"

He wiped away the rest of his tears. "Do you think I'm alright? I've just had the love of my life taken away from me, TWICE! Do YOU think I'm ALRIGHT? WELL, DO YOU?!" 002 shouted at Vivianne, who was on the verge of tears. 002 took a deep breath and calmed down.

"You know what, I shouldn't even be here talking to you. This is your
entire fault, you know. You're the reason why Josephine was short-
circuited and taken away by the 0010 Brothers. Ha! And, you call
yourself her friend. Sometimes, I wonder if Josephine has too soft of
a heart to accept such a person like you."

With that, 002 pivoted his foot and used his jet boots to fly as far away as he could from this place. Within the moment, 0029 broke down with tears streaming like waterfalls. Wanting a safe place to hide, 0029 sunk through the Dolphin, making her disappear from view.

"Vivianne, wait!"

Using his acceleration power, 009 accelerated back into the ship, hoping to find 0029. The rest of the 00 Cyborgs were in total shock. Alex broke the silence. "Let's all go in and clear our minds," she suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Yeah, let's head back," 004 said. Confused beyond belief, the 00 Cyborgs filed out into the ship.

(Jet's p.o.v)

I knew I shouldn't have yelled at her, but I can't believe 0029 would do such a stupid thing. But, maybe I shouldn't have had yelled at her... No, it's too late to change it, now. What's been done has been done. Ugh, I felt so disgusted that I took off, without knowing where I'm going. "Well, anyplace is better than there," I thought quietly. A peaceful looking lake surrounded by forest soon came to appearance. I started to descend, as I knew it was getting dark soon. " * sigh * Well, might as well camp out for the night. There's no way I'm going back to that ship with her on board. Eh, I'll just catch up later when it's morning," I said to myself. As soon as I landed, I went out into the forest, searching for something to build helter with

(Vivianne's p.o.v)

Hearing those hurtful words from 002 really had me crying a waterfall. I immediately ducked through the ship and ran crying into the halls. As I approached 5 rooms, I ran into the first one I saw. I heaved myself onto the closest bed and tried muffling my cries into the pillow. Behind me, I heard quick-paced footsteps, followed by a click of a door. I felt the weight of the person sitting near my feet. Crying heartily, I totally ignored the person who had came in. Suddenly, I felt warmth around my body, like someone was holding me. Then, a soft whisper soothed my every thought.

"It's all just a mistake, Vivianne. 002 didn't really mean what he
said. He was just blowing off steam. Please stop crying,"

At once, I recognized the voice. It belonged to 009. But what confuses me is why he is here. "Does he really care for so much that he can't bare to see me cry?" I asked myself. 009 gently let go of my body. As he was getting up, I sat up, trying to rub the rest of my tears away. My eyes were bloodshot and my nose was as red as a tomato. Just seeing 009 smile made all my worries evaporate. "Are you sure, 009? 002 sounded really serious. And even I thought I did the wrong thing. Are you sure what I did was right?" I asked, hopefully. 009 sat down beside me and wrapped his arms around my body in a tight embrace. "I have complete confidence in you. Now, go wash your face. You have to properly introduce yourself to all of us, you know," 009 said. I nodded as I walked out of his embrace and into the bathroom. After a few minutes, I came out of the bathroom, back to my regular, cheery self, once more. 009 smiled. "Great! Now, let's go meet my friends," 009 said, while guiding me into the meeting room of the Dolphin (living room).

The 00 Cyborgs lifted their heads to look at the new member of the 00 Prototypes. 003 smiled. "Why, hello there, Vivianne. Please sit down. We'd all like to know a bit more about yourself. Will you tell us?" 003 asked politely. 0029 shook her head up and down with eagerness. "I'd love to. But, you'll have to tell me all of your names first," 0029 said. 007 nodded. "Gladly. Good afternoon. My name is Sir 007. But, I'm also known as Great Britain or G.B." 007 said, kissing the Vivianne's right hand. 007 earned a smack on the head by 009. "Keep your hands to yourself," 009 muttered. 007 rubbed his head. "And since when did you get so over- protected about 0029?" 007 wondered. 009 blushed a deep crimson. "Just recently," he whispered quietly. Everyone clapped his or her hands at 009's proclaimance of love (kind of). Vivianne blushed at 009's words. "So, I-is t-this offic-cial," she said, stuttering with embarrassment. 009 nodded sheepishly. "Guess so," he said. 0029 smiled widely and hugged 009.

"That's what I wanted to hear."

"Back to the introductions," 003 said, while clearing her throat. Obviously, she was disappointed that 009 loved Vivianne more than her. But, as long as he was happy, she'll have to be happy, too. 003 smiled.

"Hello. My name's 003. But, I'm also known as Françoise."

"Hi, I'm 004 or Albert."

"Hi, I'm Alex, his girlfriend," Alex said, while smiling a bit.

"I'm 005, aka Geronimo."

"Good day, I'm 006. My nickname's Mole, but you can call me Chang."

"Good to meet you. I'm 008 aka Pyunma."

"It's good to have you with us, 0029. I'm Dr. Gilmore."

009 smiled a bit as he introduced himself. "Of course, I'm 009. But, my real name is Joe Shimamura," he said happily. Vivianne's smile widened. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you. I'm Vivianne Siden. I was recently turned into Prototype 0029. And, I'm a psychic." 001's mental thoughts interrupted her sentence. (in training, that is,) 001 said, quite smugly. 0029 smiled at the prototype baby. "For a baby, you sure have a big pride," Vivianne said, kidding. 001 pouted. (Well, at least I'm not a psychic-in- training. I'm already a psychic.) 001 said, countering back. Vivianne rolled her eyes. "I'm guessing that your 001 then, huh?" she said sarcastically. 001 nodded proudly. (In the flesh,) he said. 004 laughed heartily. "Hey, he's got a point there. You might be able to pick up a few pointers from a person whose a century or so younger than you," 004 said, "But, please, tell us about your past. That is, if it's not too much trouble." 0029 shook her head. "No, not at all," she replied, "You see, when I was 16, I met Josephine at an ambassador program. We were both going to the same country to help make peace around the world. We were assigned to the country of Japan. Unfortunately, when we were staying in a hotel in the same room, we were kidnapped and brought to the nearest Black Ghost lab. Luckily, I was able to escape from the clutches of those evil men. But, Josephine wasn't that successful. After a month or so, they captured me again, and this time, they cryogenically frozen me for a longtime. And.well, that's about it, I suppose. Though, I never really had a family. When I was 6, my mother died of seistancocidis (made up word for very, very, very deadly disease). Then, after a year later, my father left me in the streets. So, ever since then, I had to live on my own. It wasn't too bad though," Vivianne commented. 009 stared at her and thought of how much her past was similar to his. 0029 smiled.

"But, enough about me. I'd like to get to know everyone better. So, fire away."

So, everyone started to talk about their past. They were so busy enjoying themselves that for a moment, they forgot that Josephine was missing, along with 002. But, that didn't last for long. Realization soon crept back to the 00 Cyborgs. Suddenly, all was quiet. 009 broke the nervous stillness. "I wonder where 002 is? It's getting really dark now. Amazing how time flies, huh?" he said. Everyone nodded their heads, notifying that they agree. 004 sighed and stood up, slipping away from Alex's warm embrace.

"What's the matter, Albert?" Alex said, using his proper name. 004 shook his head. "It's nothing. I can't stand the tension, that's all. I'm going out to find 002. You can come if you want to," he said. Alex smiled. "I have to come. You're forgetting that you can't fly. I'm the only one here who can fly at this moment. So, I have to go. Go to save you're butt, you know," Alex said jokingly. 004 rolled his eyes. "Oh, very funny. Ha, ha. Come on, let's go find 002," he said. Alex nodded.

"Right behind you."

The two cyborgs stalked out of the tension-filled room, leaving the remaining cyborgs stunned. Vivianne was the first to recover. She looked around. "Well, what are we waiting for? We can't just let those two lovebirds get all the fun. But, some of us have to stay on the ship, just incase," she said. The 00 Cyborgs recovered from their shock quickly and nodded with agreement.

"001 through 7. You guys.and girl.stay here to protect the Dolphin and Dr. Gilmore. The rest of us will go with 004 and Alex to find 002. Is that alright with you, Vivianne?" 009 asked gently, trying not to disturb 0029 to suddenly. She squirmed a bit with uncomfort. "Um.Alright, I'll go with you," she said, while shyly taking a step forward. 009 smiled widely and put a comforting arm around 0029. "Don't worry. 002 probably already cooled down by now," he said, reassuring her. 003 frowned at the closeness of 009 and 0029. Apparently, she was still jealous. "Why should I feel jealous? Is it because I wanted to be in 009's arms? I should be feeling happy for him. Ugh, I can't be selfish," 003 thought to herself. She smiled and nodded. "Agreed. Oh, and be careful out there. You never know, the 0010 Brothers might come back," 003 stated. 008 nodded. "Affirmative. Don't worry about us, 003. We'll get 002 back before 006 rings the dinner bell," he replied. At that moment, 007's stomach grumbled. "Better make it fast, my stomach's aching from hunger," he said. Everyone fell down animation style.

(Jet's p.o.v)

"God. Since when did it get so cold out? I better put some more firewood in."

Every piece of my body hurt from the cold outside. "I should've brought a jacket or something," I thought to myself. Boy, was I stupid. I took out my prized harmonica and started playing "Home on the Range" with it. I looked up into the heavenly sky. "It's beautiful here. The stars are so bright. Josephine, I hope you're seeing the same thing I am," 002 said quietly to the wind. He played his harmonica again, while a shooting star flashed across the night sky, illuminating the night for a brief moment.

(Josephine's p.o.v)

I woke up feeling bruised and tired. Rubbing the sleep away from my eyes, I managed to see a blurred picture of two white figures. I shook my head, trying to get a better vision. "Well it looks like you're awake, my little prisoner," a voice said. I managed to figure out whom the voice belonged to. "John? Okay, first of all, no one, and I mean NO ONE calls me little. Secondly, I am NOT 'yours'. I'm not a possession to keep. I DO have feelings, you know," I stated. 0010 Plus smirked. "Typical. You've always got that cocky attitude of yours. It's time to face the fact, cyborg. You've got no one to save you, not even your little boyfriend. You're trapped under our commands. So, might as well make yourself useful. For starters, you can get your lazy butt off the cot. You've had plenty of rest. Oh, and there's one major rule. You treat us well, e treat you well, got it?" he said, voice booming. I shook my head. "Nope, sorry. First lesson of combat training, never listen to your enemies. You told me that, or should I just assume you were lying to me, too," I said, my voice starting to rise. 0010 minus starred at me with his cold eyes.

"In case you're not aware, but you're being very rude. And for one
thing, I do not tolerate that kind of behavior under my roof, got it?"

"You and whose army?"

0010 Minus smirked.

"Mine."

Suddenly, I felt a huge electric shock coming from my wrists and ankles. I groaned in pain as I felt every single bolt of electricity run through my veins. As soon as it started, it stopped. I managed to look down at my wrists and ankles. That was the first time I had noticed that there were hydroelectric shock cords bound around my legs and arms. I grumbled with frustration. "Get up!" John barked. Afraid of getting more shocks run through my body, I did as I was told. I glared darkly at those two with my piercing black eyes. "Is I ever get out of this, I swear I'll rip you apart into a million pieces," I said coldly. Jean glared at my shaken figure, and I glared right back.

Yellow met Black. For a moment, I could see pity and sorrow in his eyes. I glared deeper. I hated people who gave me pity. But, just the same, inside, I felt as if John really didn't want to see me in pain. Along with the pity and sorrow, I could see one more emotion in his eyes. it looked like.love. I turned my gaze away from his. John was the one who taught me that a cyborg had no emotions. Yet, he himself had so many to show. Was it normal or was it just for me? I pondered with the question as my stomach growled. I blushed. "I'm hungry," I whispered quietly. The brothers sweat dropped. Jean began to shuffle around the kitchen. I'll make something to eat. Brother, would you mind setting the table?" Jean yelled from the kitchen. I blinked confusingly as the two electric cyborgs bustled around in the kitchen. I sighed.

"Well, they aren't that bad. I might as well get use to the life I'm
in. Jet's probably out searching for me. Oh well."

With my last thought, I decided to help the brothers in the kitchen. "Here, Jean. Let me help you with that. You go tend to the fish. I'll watch the soup for ya," I said helpfully. Jean nodded as he went over to check on the fish. "This isn't that bad," I thought. While stirring the stew, I could see John staring at me in the corner of my eye. He must of saw me looking at him. Because, at that precise moment, a deep shade of pink spread across his cheeks. Jean looked at his brother. "Brother are you feeling alright? You're face looks kind of red. Maybe you should go lie down," he said with concern. I tried holding in my laughter, but it came bursting out. My heart- filled laughter filled the room, as John blushed even more. Jean just looked completely confused. "I'm sorry. But, I fail to catch the joke," Jean said, with confusion in his voice. I smiled widely.

"Oh it's nothing, nothing really. Oh and John, you really do look a
bit red. You should go lie down."

John once again blushed redder (if possible) and quickly retreated out of the room. "I'll be right back," John mumbled. I smiled even wider. I thought to myself, "You know this place might not be too bad after all."
