AN: Sadly my spring break is almost over, so chapters will be coming in slower as school starts up again for me. –sighs heavily-
"I've programmed all of the rebel's images into the database." Dr. Keller explained as he presented his finished machine to Black Ghost. The thing had taken him weeks to produce. He shoved his hands in his lab coat pockets, and gripped a small controller in his right hand. He had produced it in secret in hopes that an opportunity to use his creation for good means would surface. He prayed Black Ghost would never discover it.
"Excellent Keller! If only more scientists could think ahead. Sadly this place is filled with fools and asinine imbeciles!" Keller nodded in false agreement. Black Ghost motioned for him to leave. "Begin the plan immediately. I want them disposed of as soon as physically possible." Keller nodded again and gestured for the machine to follow as he walked towards the door. The newest Cyborg turned its limbs smoothly and pursued its creator obediently.
The Cyborg itself was a slender, sliver, humanoid no bigger than a child. Its tennis ball size eyes, were only a dim white light. Keller did not even look at it as he quickly made his way to his recently acquired laboratory. As soon as he arrived he held the door open for the little device and then hurriedly shut the opening. He collapsed in a chair, shut his eyes, and began to rub his temples. The feeling like something was watching him inched its way into the back of his mind. Keller quickly opened his eyes to see the little Cyborg quietly standing in front of him.
"Oh hello there, I guess I should give you a name." The Cyborg cocked its head to the side, in a silent question and then straightened it again. Keller removed his glasses and began to clean them on his shirt as he thought. "I think I will call you Amy, after my granddaughter." The Cyborg's sockets of light squinted in unspeakable joy. It clearly liked the name. "My, you are much better company than those stuffy assistants Black Ghost provides me with." Amy's eyes closed with delight. She didn't seem to mind or even notice that she couldn't speak for herself. Keller smiled at her and then remembered the dark purpose she was to be used for. He reached into his pocket and handled the remote once more before giving Amy her instructions.
Amy huddled behind a bush outside of the Kazumi beach house. It was mid-afternoon and all seemed quiet. Suddenly a tall red headed person burst out the front door, and another silver haired person followed him.
"Come on Albert let's play some volley ball!" Amy quickly saved the voice patterns and waves into her database.
"Jet we've played volley ball every day this week. What's wrong with just relaxing on the beach?" Amy did the same with Albert's voice. She began to feel curiosity, the only emotion Keller left for her to feel on her own. Whether he meant to leave it there or not, was a mystery. Amy opened her emotion downloads and absorbed what the two were feeling. Frustration, annoyance, and slight amusement were coming from the one called Albert. Happiness and mischievousness were radiating from Jet. Amy didn't move as more humanoids came out of the house. A tall brown haired male came down the stairs with a blonde haired female whose arm was linked with his. Immense love and joy came from them both, but also a sense of power came to Amy as she observed the brown haired one. It wasn't an emotion, but it certainly made Amy more cautious.
"Joe, Françoise! Do you want to play volley ball?" Jet called.
"Sure!" Françoise called back. Joe just nodded and continued to approach the other two. Amy was filled to the bursting point with curiosity. Yet another person came from the house. His skin was dark, and he had a big smile.
"Pyunma!" Jet yelled, rather loudly. "Come here! Help us convince 004 to play!"
'004?' Amy thought. Pyunma laughed as he passed the bush where Amy crouched.
"Sorry guys, but I'm busy helping Chang in the kitchen. He told me to go find stray plates and dishes. I figured the patio table would have some." He looked over at the said place and grinned. "Looks like I was right!" Amy absorbed his voice as well. 'Plates? Dishes? Chang?' Pyunma quickly gathered the dishes and waved to the small group as he went back inside.
"Poor 008 he got stuck in the kitchen with 006," 002 snickered.
"Hey at least it's not me." 009 said. 003 giggled as she remembered when they used to work in Chang's old restaurant.
"Come on guys let's play!" 002 said as he ran to the sandy court. "Albert, please man, make it even?" Albert sighed and rose from where he reclined against a tree in its shade. The small Cyborg couldn't stand it anymore. She had to interact with these other beings. She assumed the form of 'Pyunma' as they called him. She ran out to the others.
"Hey man did 006 let you out of kitchen patrol?" 009 asked as she arrived at the court.
"Hahaha yeah. Luckily there wasn't as many dishes loose as he thought." 009 chuckled and raised the ball to serve. Amy forced herself not to duck out of instinct. The ball sailed over her head, and over the net. 002 countered and hit it back. 003 leaped up and whacked it over once more. '008' quickly caught on as 004 hit it towards him. 008 leaped up and spiked it, beaning 002 in the chest. He fell over, choking and sputtering in surprise.
"Nice one Pyunma!" 003 said as she raised her hand for a high five. Amy was a fast learner and she happily returned the gesture. 002 was bent on revenge.
"Heads up 008!" He yelled, and hit the volley ball over the net with all of his strength. It hit its mark right in the head and 008 collapsed to the ground. Sand went flying, and when it finally cleared, 003 gasped in surprise.
"What is that?" 003 asked. 009 moved to stand in front of her as the tiny robot got to its feet. It began to brush itself off but then froze as it looked at its appearance. It rigidly straightened only to look 009 in the eyes. It began to tremble. "Oh it's scared the poor thing!" 009 knelt in front of the small Cyborg. Its luminous eyes narrowed.
"Who are you?" he asked. The Cyborg only shook its head. 009 reached out his head towards it and it disappeared. He didn't waste a second and switched into acceleration mode, but there was no sign of the tiny creature. He reappeared next to 003 and sighed.
"It's gone. It didn't have an acceleration switch, so I'm at a loss as to where it went and what it used to do so.
"It looked like a child. Do you think Black Ghost has stooped so low as to-"
"I wouldn't be surprised." 009 said as 003 put her head on his shoulder.
"Guys, I don't really feel like playing anymore." 002 said timidly, which he hardly ever was. No one said anything as they made their way back to the beach house.
Keller winced as he thought about what Black Ghost might do if he found out some of the Cyborgs had seen his creation. 'Why did it go down there? Why?' He pounded his fist on the steel lab table and buried his face in his arm. Suddenly he felt a tug on his lab coat. He whirled around and Amy stood there, shaking visibly.
"You should not have done that little one." Keller said sternly. "Now they know what you look like, and will be more suspicious." Amy lowered her head in apology. Keller began to feel sorry for her. "It will be alright. We'll just have to be more careful next time, right?" Amy lifted her head and clapped her metallic hands, which made a light clink sound. Keller smiled and lifted her up and sat her on the table. Amy the Cyborg was the closest thing he had to his human beloved, if not the only thing that was keeping him truly sane.
Thanks GoldAngel2 for reading my story on Fictionpress. I was wondering if you'd beta read for me on that. Problem Is ( if you will) I don't have your email (again).
