Unwanted Path

Chapter 21

Finality

Zareth stood on the bow of the Bounty as Borg tower came into view. He could feel Danny almost like she were in the back of his mind, her legs outstretched and she was slumped forward. She felt slightly bored, and she honestly felt like she needed a bath, but she wasn't sure how that was possible. Although sometimes Danny did things outside of her comfort zone she did prefer to keep a schedule. Right now being within Zareth wasn't part of her usual daily schedule, that and she was only supposed to be off till the end of December when all the kids went back to school. But she wouldn't be able to go to school without a body. She knew his plans she was in his head. But for some reason she wasn't to sure what would happen if Borg said no. She hadn't ever met the man, and she had it in her head that rich people were all mean, pompous jerks. Zareth new that to be wrong. He himself had met Borg on several occasions after he fused the first time to have himself checked out.

"Its okay Danny. Borgs a nice man." Zareth said.

'He is the creator of Pixal. If this man created someone as kind, beautiful, caring, inquisitive…'

'Zane your love is showing again.' Danny mumbled. Zane chuckled.

'Apologies. I'm afraid I've allowed for myself to ramble about her.' Zane blushed. Danny was slightly amused. Zareth knew that Danny thought Zane and Pixals relationship was adorable.

Zareth stepped off the Bounty accompanied by Jay and Nya. Borg sat in his wheelchair waiting for Zareths arrival.

"Good afternoon Zareth. It would seem you've become comfortable in this body. Even made some friends?" His eyes fell onto the midnight purple haired woman behind them.

"I have made some friends, but something ha…"

"Oh yes Dr. Spencer has always been a bit...hard to swallow since college. I met her on several occasions as we were studying the same field. Sadly her studies went a bit more sinister after her boyfriend left her for his creation." Borg said steering them into an elevator.

"I'm...afraid she's starting to...drift away." Zareth tried to look for the proper words for it, he hoped that was enough for Borg to work with.

"I see. Whatever you do...don't unfuse. She may disappear entirely." Borg held up his hands as the thought occurred to him. Zareths heart sank.

'I figured, but I didn't want to say anything least it was just a thought.' Zane said.

'We had better stay like this then Zane. I wouldn't want to hurt Danny.'

'And I wouldn't want to make you both stay like this just because of me.' Danny practically yelled. Zareth slumped against the elevator wall.

"Zareth are you alright?" Borg asked. Zareth stayed like that for a moment trying to get his balance back. He felt Borgs hand on his arm trying to get him to focus on something. "Zareth?" He put up his hand and stood up again having just finished listening to Danny apologizing over and over again. He wasn't to sure just how many times she did it before Zane hushed her. She felt like crying but just couldn't because of the obvious. He could tell she hated being in his head.

"How long would it take to make Danny a new body? Do you think she'll...dissolve before that happened? She wasn't designed to last, she had a few...weeks at best in her body, but she's not in her body anymore."

Zareth asked, Borg could see the strain on Zareths face. Nya looked up at Jay who still had a firm hand on Zareths shoulder since he had almost fell forward. Jay shook his head. He wasn't to sure about what was happening either.

"I can't tell till I look at the processor. Hopefully we can transfer her to a new processor like Zane did." Borg said.

'It was a simple process but a lengthy one.' Zane said. 'It took me a few days to finish and create the body. About three days to transfer.' Zareth sighed and nodded his head.

"Zane says it took about three days."

"But it was a rush job. I'll say it'll take about a week to finish the body. We'll call you in, in about three days. But today we'll get the layout of what she wants." Borg said and smiled.

'I can...change my appearance?' Danny asked Zareth laughed despite feeling sick.

"You could, but I really wish you wouldn't. You're beautiful. I love my Dannygirl the way she is." Zareth said he could feel her blush through the connection. He could just see her face break into the reddest red.

"Is she asking if she can change her looks?" Borg asked with a chuckle as Zareth nodded. "Well we could also install a holographic generator like Zane has and she can not only experiment with designs but also with clothing. Zane seems to love his."

'That would be fun.' Danny giggled.

"Oh now your just tempting her." Zareth said looking around the R and D labs. Their was some new things within the room. He stepped on the familiar pink machine.

"After the overlords take over that thing hasn't been right. Pixal unplugged it and I've left it that way." Borg said. Zareths shoulders slumped.

"I wasn't really expecting any results." Zareth shrugged. "Zane and Dareth have their girls I don't expect to. That would be so weird." He said looking out over the lab again before going into a huge white room. Their were three people in there with white scrubs on. One walked over with a clipboard.

"Name." She said. Zareth sat down on a sheeted bed.

"Zareth, no last name."

"Alright...age?"

"Um...well...I don't really have a set age. Im a fusion. Mid 20s…" Zareth said and looked up at the stuff on the ceiling. This place looked so complex.

"What sex do you identify as?" She asked Zareth thought of it and shook his head.

"Dude." Zareth said with a shrug.

After all the questions were out of the way Zareth watched them work around him. Borg was sitting on the table with him. His legs in a crossed fashion looking at the back of his neck. The port area where Dannys processor had been forced in was a little inflamed. He could understand the stress around the skin.

"Your body is extraordinary Zareth. A complete complex engineering feat I can see why Dr. Spencer was fascinated with you. But I at least know to ask before I touch." Borg said. Putting what looked like a blue liquid on the back of Zareths neck. The pain on the spot went away almost instantly. Zareths shoulders slumped into a relaxed posture.

"What is that stuff?" Zareth asked. Borg held it up and smiled.

"A secret remedy." Borg chuckled "Do you have any pictures of Danny?" Borg asked. Nya held up her hand.

"Here! We took this the last time we went on our girls night out." Nya said holding up her cell phone and handed it to Borg. He tapped the phone onto a small black pad and the picture showed up on the screen.

"Whoa! I didn't know it could do that." Jay exclaimed in his usual boustrous tone. Borg chuckled at him. He always loved Jays enthusiasm. Well...sort of. Except the volume.

Zareth walked out of Borg industries with a bit of a spring in his step. Everything was set up to Dannys liking. With some slight changes to her appearance rather then an entire body change...that and Midnight now had a place to be. She decided to take Borg up on his offer of becoming his assistant since Pixal was mostly busy with being Samurai X now. Zareth had found out that Borg had known all along about her being Samurai X and paid her to do so.

He sat around mostly chatting with the other ninja, playing video games, watching bad tv and sleeping an awful not. Their was only one issue and that was with showering and changing clothing. Danny now knew what he looked like naked because of the fact that she can't really close her eyes physically, but he had to shower and change his clothing or he'd be walking around gross, and Zareth couldn't do that. He was Zareth after all. Luckily the embarrassment didn't last to long, and she grew used to seeing him and just expected it a few times a day.

A week passed by really fast. Soon enough Zareth found himself once again inside the R and D lab. Borg had promised that the transfer would take only a few seconds rather then three days. Zareth hopped up onto a table and looked at the form across from him. He smiled seeing that it wasn't much different from Danny before. Still short, still had blond hair. Although at Dannys request there was a silver streak in it.

"Alright Zareth...lets get this taken care of." Borg reached up to pull the processor.

"Hey Danny...I love you baby don't forget that. When this is all over with you and I should really consider adopting each other. I'm your brother now...remember that."

'Always Zareth.'Borg pulled the processor and an unfamiliar black spot was all Zareth felt from where she was. It made him gasp without really intending to. He looked up and shuddered. Borg placed the processor in the side of the new bodys head. He brushed the hair back down and waited.

And waited…

And waited…

A finger moved, then the hand, a foot wiggled, then the eyes shot open and she gasped. Her eyes were a bright bronze color. It was unexpected. He honestly expected blue or green.

"The optic color normally is chosen by the soul of the wearer." Borg told him. Zareth was slightly amazed. Danny slowly sat up and looked around she spotted Zareth and smiled.

"Zareth…" She reached out and Zareth went to her. He felt her...he could really feel her. She was okay, she was alive. Thats all he could have ever asked for. With the thoughts of her dying, or dissolving at the back of his mind now. He was able to finally hold her without fear of hurting her. He could feel a trimmer go through her body. He pulled back cupping her face in his hand.

"You okay?" He asked her. " Are you functioning properly." Danny reached up running her hands over his cheeks. Tears slowly ran down both of their cheeks. Mostly from joy and disbelief. He wasn't to sure which one it was. Danny just nodded her head.

"I'm good...I'm okay. Shhh stop crying your going to make me cry more." She said. She sounded slightly metallic now. Zareth liked it. She still fit under his chin...he liked it that way. She kissed his cheek and tried to stand up.

"Take is slowly Ms. Peirce." Borg told her. Zareth held her up.

"I...think your Zareth Peirce now." Danny winked at him. Zareth laughed.

"Alright then."
