Dark: Hey everyone! If you've read the summary, you know why this was added. But please note, these are a group of one shots. Each can be about anything that happens to the cyborgs. Whether it be a simple subject, or even a cyborg's inner thoughts. But I don't own Cyborg 009. The credit goes to Shotaro Ishinomori and those who worked on the 2001 anime.

I didn't know what to think anymore. After seeing so many deaths, and I couldn't stop them even though I had the power to. I honestly could have saved them... Couldn't I?
It started with the Father. I broke down the door and saw the room in flames. The Father was right in the middle of it all, on the floor. I ran to so I could help, and that's when I saw it. Blood. Everywhere. How could this have happened? The firemen came, and they thought it was me. How could they think that? I had great respect for him... He took care of me, and helped me though the times when I was rejected by adults.
I still wonder if jumping off the cliff was a good idea. But I was innocent! And it was always the truth. I couldn't be taken to the authorities, so I jumped. I hit the water, it was so cold...
And that's when I became a cyborg...
I still remember the battle with 0010+ and 0010-. They were actually brothers but couldn't touch each other. Honestly, I wanted them to see how bad Black Ghost really was, but they wouldn't listen. In the end, they died. I led them to come into contact with each other, and they held on together as they died.
I still remember seeing 0013, the kind boy in Japan, go over that cliff with his robot. I tried to get him to come with us, but he said that robot wasn't to be... He fell, and hit the ocean, like I once did. But an inferno rose, and somehow I knew, he wasn't going to make it. I held on to his hand until the moment of his death, but I couldn't save him.
I still remember those cyborg men in Africa. I wanted to convince them to stop following Black Ghost. 002 said it was a waste of time, and I almost endangered the team. In the end, I killed them.
I still remember the Greek Gods. They weren't bad... But their memories were erased. After the battle on their island, they allowed themselves to die. Apollo was angry over the death of his "sister", Artemis, and that along with other things led to his death too. He thought he was a god, but he was a cyborg. We couldn't tell any of them the truth about anything. About being gods, about wars, about fighting. And convincing never helped in these situations. Each one had their lives taken, and there was nothing we could do...
I look up at the stars at night, wondering about them. Did Apollo see his "family" again? Are the 0010 brothers together for good? Is 0013 in a better place now? Those cyborg men who lost their lives, what happened to them?
I'm sorry. I didn't want other lives to be lost. Maybe Black Ghost for doing this, but no one else. I'm sorry.
It never counts, what we say, but I still want to say I'm sorry.

Dark: I don't know what gave me an idea for it, but I'd figure it wouldn't take up space if I posted my one shots together. Oh, by the way…
To Holli: Thanks! I really appreciate it. *Looks at dvd* Good point about the episode thing… That was really nice of him… Sadly his part on the show isn't all that big compared to others.
To GoldAngel2: I saw that episode before, but I decided not to mention it I this one for some reason. But thanks!
