I don't own Cyborg 009, this is a fanfiction only.

I began walking towards our very much captive group of enemies, I could almost hear my godfather laughing, god rest his soul, I decided to take a page from his handbook and do a little role playing.

"Ok, I see you idiots are all tied up like Christmas gifts. The only thing missing is a bow on your heads, but no matter. I want you to tell me where are the scientist that butchered me and my friends, or I am going to be very angry. I might decide to ask a friend to have every one of you for lunch just for the fun of it."

One of the soldiers, clearly an officer just glared at me. "We ain't telling you nothing. We would all be killed if we betray Black Ghost. You didn't even kill us when you had the chance, so you don't have the guts to do it anyways."

I found this to be very annoying but for sheer drama, I began laughing like an absolute maniac, "Kukuku, I didn't kill you cause my friend loves to eat his food alive and kicking. So the little apes want me to bring out my friend, well if you have a death wish who am I to deny it?"

I bite down on my thumb and with my blood on my hands I did a few hand signs and slammed my hands on the ground a few feet from them. "Summoning Jutsu!" From the ground came a giant serpent and boy did this have the intended effect.

"Hello, Manda, sorry to call you without any notice, but I am sort of short on both time and patience. I asked these idiots to tell me some trivial things, and they flat out insulted me. Since they are not that useful I decided to invite you over for lunch. Twenty-six hairless monkeys live and kicking, I know it's your favorite meal."

The smug look on the enemy officer's face was gone, instead, he had a look that told me he wishes he had answered my questions.

"You know me too well Joe, you are just so nice to invite me like this. I guess that is why I often feel proud that you are our summoner. Well since they insulted my favorite summoner, what can I say except lunch is served."

The giant snake slithered to where the enemies were tied up, "Hold it! I will tell you anything you want to know, but please spare me. I got a wife and kid waiting for me at home."

Well, the officer's bravado didn't last much now, did it? "Those freaky doctors are in the air base a few hundred miles south by southwest. It's the old ruins of a military base, you can't miss it. Please for the love of god don't kill me."

I turned around and looked at the others in my little cyborg family. "What do you think we should do? My friend is more than willing to eat them all up, and if we leave them alive they might warn the base making things difficult for us. What should we do with this lot?"

They just finish telling me that they didn't want to kill people needlessly, and I do something that makes me look like the stereotypical villain. I wondered how badly the blonde beauty in our little group must think of me.

I don't know why it should bother me, as a ninja I have killed many times before, but the moment that I think she might hate me for it, it sends a sense of dread and fear through me that I never experienced before.

"Don't worry Joe, I think this bunch has soiled their pants and I might get indigestion if I had these apes, but I got to see you again after so long. It sure is nice to see you my friend, and don't be a stranger. Do me a favor and summon my wife sometimes, she has been worried sick ever since we found out what happened to your clan."

I looked at Manda and smiled, "Sure thing my friend be sure to tell the other members of the clan I am doing fine, unlike the rest of my clan. Don't worry I don't think these little apes will deny any request I make or will you?"

All the enemy soldiers began shaking their heads and I understood they would not dare.

My friend left and the most unexpected person decides to pat me on my back. "You know 009 you should really think about acting as a possible career. You had me completely thinking that you went, psycho." To receive a compliment from the resident shapeshifter in our group was strange, to say the least.

I walked towards the now very comparative enemy officer, "Now I am going to need maps, credentials, and your uniform. The money wouldn't hurt but you can keep that. I will warn you if you tell the base we are coming nothing this supposed Black Ghost will compare to what I will do to you. Trust me there are worse fates than death and I know how to inflict them on you."

The guy quickly began to strip off his uniform, and sure enough, he had quite a few items that would prove useful. The guy was about the same size as 007 and thus the idea I had would work.

"Don't you worry, I will not throw away your merciful decision to let me and my men live, we will just go home and you or the merchant will never see us again. Thank you for letting me go back to my home."

I looked at the others and pretty much gave them the universal sign to beat it. They left running for their lives, and I knew that they would keep their word. I placed a seal on him just in case, but it might be useful later for other more friendly reasons.

"So what happened to your clan? Where did that giant snake come from? How can you make that huge snake appear?"

The one person I didn't want to ask these question, decided to ask them as soon as he was able. Why was Jet in such a hurry for me to spill the beans about my past? Probably thinking that the blonde lady will lose interest in me if he heard me say something extremely shady.

I always followed my teacher's example and lying to what appeared to be my new teammates was not something he would approve.

"My clan is dead, they were poisoned by a traitor in my clan and he took off with all the scrolls we owned and a lot of money in the form of gold bars. I was off at my post as a caregiver in an orphanage my village was in charge off. The leader of our nation, our Hokage, was the man who made the orphanage and he was as close to me as a grandfather."

"Had I not been at my post, I would have been eating the poisoned food the traitor prepared for his daughter's wedding. Now it's just him and me left in the entire clan, and if I can help it. I will not rest until he pays for the murderers he committed that day."

I looked at 007 and saw the sympathetic look I got from the rest of the group. "007 I would very much like you to take the form of that officer, and put up that uniform. We will pretend that you made us all surrender, and we saw the wisdom in turning ourselves in. The plan is simple, once we are inside the base I will use one of my techniques and knock out every enemy in our way."

"Once we find the one in charge we will have them let us take one of their planes and we will make our escape. If we can we will take the scientist, we need to find out what exactly they did to us, and how to do maintenance on ourselves. There is also a possibility that they installed a fail-safe trigger, a suicide switch if you will."

That is when Jet decided to come closer to me, "What do you mean a possible suicide switch? You mean you think they planted something that could kill us with the flip of a switch?"

I guess it's pretty scary once you hear it the first time, but me I had one on me for a few years myself, as an ANBU we had them in case we turn traitor. Funny thing is once we stop being part of that division the mark gets taken off. Which that miserable traitor still had his, would make my life a whole lot easier.

I saw Albert not bothered by this at all, "Wouldn't surprise me, they caught us and modified our bodies to be weapons for them after all. It would not be out of the realm of possibility that they also implanted something to get rid off a weapon that failed to do as commanded."

008 looked at him and nodded his head, "Kind of like putting a guard dog to sleep because he failed at guarding a place. I have to admit I really wish it is not the case, but we can't really rule anything out."

As we got together we made the final run through our plan, and like any good ninja I always prepare just in case things go wrong, because when making a plan with people who are not a ninja, things always go wrong in some manner or form.

I made a few shadow clones change into pieces that the supposed officer would have on him. You know the usual, radio receiver, watch glasses, and a tie with a pin.

If things happened the way I thought these clones will be necessary to shall we say persuade the people in the base that doing what we want them to do is not only a brilliant idea but the only chance they had to keep living. I could call Yorgina, but not even I had the heart to expose my enemy to Manda's wife when she was angry.

The plan worked perfectly till we got separated from 007 still pretending to be the enemy officer, next thing I know I am in a locked meat locker and that is when the lights came one. A see-through floor, and several gentlemen wearing lab coats.

"It was nice of you to humor us, but this insurrection has gone on long enough. It's time for you to be sedated, there is no telling what damage you done to your systems, and all this is wasting time better spent on research."

I never saw the look on 003's face and I know I may not be the emotionally sensitive person in my little group, but even I could tell she was beyond mad as hell. "You kidnap us, operate on us against our will, and modify us to the point we barely seem human anymore, and you think we will just let you keep doing that to us?"

The one with the big nose decided to speak for the group of a scientist it seems, "Stop this at once, you were not given those powers for your benefit. Our research is far more important than the lives of a group of people."

I knew things would go wrong, and I knew 007 would completely forget the signal I told him I would use. I had to flat out make a sign telling him to get his head out of his own ass to get him to understand.

"Well, I think you better let my friends go." 007 held a gun to his nose and smiled. "Or you might be getting a new nostril!"

One of the scientists was shocked to see an officer do something like this, "Are you with the renegade cyborgs?" He quickly changes forms to his normal form. "I am not just with them, you could say I am one of them."

From there they let us out I was expecting a trap, and the whole scene seemed like something straight out of Icha Icha, or at least the same quality. 007 kept a blaster aimed at the big nosed doctor's back and escorted towards a jumbo transport plane.

"Don't move, the cyborgs know the self-destruct codes to the base, and I am the only one that knows the disarm code. You move they will kill me, and then everyone on the base is dead."

As they boarded the plane I began to think about my options, I guess I looked like I hesitated, since I heard 001 try to get my attention. "I know it is difficult, and not something of your choice, we are a chain gang forcefully forged against our own wills. I believe that if we work together and watch out for each other this chain can become a lifeline, so what do you say are you with us?"

I don't know why but the smiling face of the blonde woman carrying him made me decide, I definitely wanted to get to know her better, and if working with this group was the way I might as well get on board the plane.

He smiled as I stepped on the loading ramp and began to walk towards him and the blonde beauty. "Glad to see that you are with us, we are fortunate that you decided to come, I happily welcome you to our group, be most welcomed 009."

I looked at him I think he knew what my name was, "It might not be your birth name, but that is what people will know you from now on."
