AN: I'm glad you like it GA2 Out of everyone, I'd say you are one of my most faithful readers, and I appreciate that. For those of you who haven't read Reminiscence yet, I suggest you do before you get into this.
Black Ghost looked out the window of a huge obsidian aircraft. They were invisible to the eye (the human eye at least), due to a cloaking device. He turned his head towards a rustling sound behind him. He saw in his peripheral vision a man, bound tightly to a chair. The poor prisoner was just waking up. Black Ghost turned his gaze back to the white clouded view.
"Good afternoon Dr. Keller. I hope you are finding things as comfortable as possible." Dr. Keller shook his head to clear up his blurry vision. His skull filled like it was stuffed with wool.
"Where am I?" he asked groggily.
"You are in Aircraft Unit 1." Keller tried to lift his arm to rub his temples but found, much to his surprise, that both of his limbs were incased in thick chords.
"Who are you?" he exclaimed, regaining much of his composure. Scarl laughed but did not turn around.
"You are very inquisitive aren't you? Well luckily for you, I'm in a relatively good mood." Finally he turned and faced the nervous doctor. "I am Black Ghost, head of the Black Ghost organization."
"I could gather that much from your name." Keller said irritably. Scarl raised an eyebrow and strode towards the tied up scientist.
"Listen to me doctor. There are a few things I will not tolerate. One: sarcasm. Two: defiance. Three: talking back. And Four: Failure." He bit off the last word like it tasted bitter in his mouth. Keller looked Black Ghost straight in the eyes, much to the evil commander's displeasure. He hated it when someone was not as frightened as he would like. "You worked with a man named Isaac Gilmore in the science of Cybernetics did you not?" he asked Keller.
"Yes, he and I studied it heavily."
"Excellent. Now, you are going to build for me a machine that will destroy Gilmore's meddling creations.
"Gilmore's what? But, why?" Black ghost sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Again with all of these questions!" He strolled back to the window and crossed his arms behind his back. "I shall give you diagrams, descriptions of their abilities, and background information of all nine of them. I don't care how, or what you build. But, I want it powerful and capable enough to destroy them."
"Why should I help you?" Keller glared at Scarl's back.
"You mean besides the reason of your own life? Well let me show you." Scarl pressed a button on his left and a thin monitor lowered in front of Keller. It crackled to life and on it was a shocking scene of a little girl lying unconscious on an examining table.
"Amy!" Keller shouted. Black Ghost only chuckled.
"You see? I take everything into consideration." Keller began to weep.
"Please, she's my granddaughter. She's the only family I have left! She's the reason I quit Cybernetics!"
"And she's also the reason you are going to continue." Scarl sneered. He gestured to the screen and Keller looked on. A man dressed in scrubs walked forward extending his hand which grasped a scalpel. Then a woman came up next to him, dragging a cart with parts and tools, all looking sinister.
"If you do not serve my purpose, she will become that which you so passionately thought of."
"NO!" Keller screamed again and again. "LEAVE HER BE! I'LL WORK…I'll work…" his volume decreased to no more than a whisper. Black Ghost laughed.
"That's what I thought. You see doctor; I always get what I want. And what I want right now is those Cyborgs destroyed." Black Ghost swiveled Keller's chair to face the other side of the room. "If you want to know the price of failure, perhaps you should ask Dr. Camelan here." He flicked on a light and Keller gripped the chair so hard, his knuckles were white. Before him on another examining table, lay a charred skeleton. Its spine arched as though the soul that had once existed had been in severe agony. Its jaw still was open wide in a forever silent scream. Keller could not take his eyes away from the sickening display.
"Or should I say, the late Dr. Camelan. I'll leave you two alone for a while." Black Ghost walked to the door and closed it with a soft click.
Ok I will admit I creeped myself out when I wrote this. So either it's a good thing or it's just easy to freak me out. I hope it's the first one lol.
