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

Somehow the atmosphere on the plane was simply too relaxed for me, I felt like there was something wrong, and I kept looking at the equipment on board. It had only two fighters on board. I decided to reload the weapon systems just in case.

As I began to reload the missile payload on one I heard a voice as clear as day, "You will never make a good actor with over the top acting like that professor. You definitely would not make it on the East side theater with acting like that."

The old scientist looked embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head, "I don't know, I felt my act was rather memorable." I finished with my work and decided to walk over to 004 and looked at his controls.

"So how long till they intercept?" Albert didn't even seem bothered by my question, but 007 was bothered by it and flat out called me paranoid. "We made a clean get away and you expect they will send fighters after us? I guess some mental evaluation will be needed for you 009."

I looked at him and he stopped from making another joke, "We are some of their current super soldier prototypes, and you expect them to just let us go? Not a chance, they will send unmanned planes after us, the fewer people see that we have escaped the less they have to cover up."

004 looked at the supposed combat professional, "They should be here in less than ten minutes, that should give me and 009 enough time to launch and attack them, or at the very least cause minimal damage to this plane."

"008 take over the controls, 009 follow me we are going to get them before they even know we are ready for them. It was nice of you to reload the missiles and ammo. Nice to see that some of us have a firm grasp on reality."

I boarded the strange looking fighter and we slowly slid out of the cargo bay, the second we were in free-fall the winds extended. "So tell 009 how much do you know about Black Ghost. I can tell you know more than you are letting on. This is your first time flying?"

I immediately looked on my onboard radar and saw that there were not planes but rather robotic drones. As soon as one cluster was within weapons range I fired a missile at it. Four drones were destroyed but more than twenty were still active.

"Yes, it's my first time flying this sort of machine. As for Black Ghost, I know they are a major figure in the criminal underworld, involved in everything from trafficking drugs to even people. Their main activity is selling of weapons, they are death merchants. Why do you ask?"

004 took care of some more drones as I spoke but he decided to use his missiles as last resort, he only used his machine guns it seems.

"Oh, it's not that I don't trust you but you have to be cautious. Your own clan was betrayed by someone and I don't think you even told us who that someone is and why it seems that to be affected you in a rather personal way."

I kept using the missiles to destroy the drones that were beyond machine gun fire range. "It's because it is personal, and if you want to know why it's very simple. The man that betrayed and killed all my clan except me was someone very close to me. He was my father."

There was a long silence as I told him this, I guess he was not expecting to hear that.

"So let me get this straight, you will eventually kill your own father?"

The question was so obvious, that I began to use my machine guns as the plane ran out of missiles. "That must be traumatizing to you. The real question is why do you know so much about Black Ghost?"

I looked at my heads up display and saw that I was quickly running out of ammo. "Not much to tell, dear old backstabbing dad is a member of it. The sick bastard sent to me, and that is why I was late and could not save the Hokage."

"So you really are a ninja? Like that cheesy anime, I heard so much about. I thought people like you didn't exist anymore. You know an old profession that died out."

I finally ran out of ammo, "Well we wouldn't much good to anyone if we couldn't keep a secret. We live in shadows most of our lives, no wonder you never saw one of us, or maybe you did but never knew it. Now don't mind me, I am going to a nearby gun shop to buy some more ammo."

He decided to fly straight through one of the drones cutting it in half. "There is no need, this entire ship is a weapon, just like me. Come on 009 we need to finish these things off before they send our flight path to the enemy."

Seeing that I had no reservations about putting the strange plane to a speed test, I truly felt like I was flying on a flying sword and being good with a sword I made short work of the remaining drones.

We both landed and 004 was laughing as we headed towards the cockpit of the cargo plane. "You got to show me those moves later, by the time I turned the plane around you finished off the remaining drones. That's both amazing and frightening at the same time."

I looked at him and smiled as I walked backward towards the door. "It's just a matter of having practice with a sword. The thing is practically a sword anyways. I grabbed something and it was the door nob to the cockpit. I opened the door only to be pushed from behind.

I, of course, lost my balance and I tripped. Next thing I know my face is being cushioned by something very soft, and plush. I was almost afraid to see if this was what I was thinking. I quickly rose my head and I saw where I had my face planted a few seconds before.

I couldn't believe it, a few seconds ago I had my head resting against the most tender, soft, and shapely breasts I ever even imagined. The blush on 003's face made me realize that I should do something, or forget ever being anything with this lady.

I quickly bowed my head and I did something my mother often told me to do, if you do something wrong to a lady, you admit your mistake and apologize.

"I am sorry, I lost my balance when 004 pushed my back and I ended up like that. I am sorry that I invaded your personal space and I hope you can forgive me."

She laughed and smiled at me, "Don't worry about it Joe, and accident can happen to anyone. I mean this rickety plane is not that stable. I appreciate that you apologized. The only question I have is what do you think of me?"

I tried to look less of a fool, and no thanks to 004 I was failing miserably at it. "What do I think of you? I barely know you, but as far as I can tell you are kind, gentle, sweeter than honey, and have a strong maternal side from the way you were holding 001."

She again laughed at what I said, "And here I was expecting you to say that I was just a hot babe that you would want to take to bed with you. You once again dash my expectations and say something so sweet and endearing. Careful 009 or you might end up making me fall for you."

I looked at the old man, and 008. "So tell me where are we taking this metallic turkey to?" The old man looked at me and also began to laugh.

"My colleagues and I came up with a plan, you see Black Ghost lied to us about what they planned to use our research and we decided to escape, but we could not leave all of you behind. No, in fact, we need your help more than you will ever need ours."

"This plane is headed to an uncharted island that we call Island X. My fellow scientist will be there working on a brand new type of ship. With your help, we will steal this ship and make a get away from Black Ghost. Only on this experimental ship will we be able to escape the clutches of Black Ghost."

I somehow knew that this plan of his would not work the way he expects, plans sound wonderful, always work perfectly when you make then, but then the fate decides to test you by throwing a monkey wrench at it.

I saw why the Island was called X, the entire thing had a rock plateau in the shape of an X. I felt as 008 put the plane into a nose dive and was trying my best to be able to keep my balance.

He maneuvered that plane through cliffs, and rocks but not as well as we would hope. This thing was not meant to do a water landing, and I heard the professor saying to head towards the cave, the plane in his opinion didn't matter. They would abandon it anyways. I couldn't help but to look at the plane and apologize to it.

As I saw the rock formations blocking the way to the cliff get near, the winds of the plane were sheared off by the rocks and we crashed to get to the cave, I must have lost my balance once again and found myself being held by 003.

"You know it's the girl that is supposed to fall for her guy, not the other way around. I guess I shouldn't hold it against you. Why did you look so said a few moments ago 009?"

I looked at her and smiled, "This plane helped us escape, and I felt that we were being ungrateful to it for abandoning it like the old man was saying. I know it's silly but I wanted to thank it for everything it did for us."

That was when something hit me in the back of my head and everything went black. Next thing I know I hear people talking and I felt like I was sleeping on the most comfortable pillow I ever had. I woke up and found I had my head on 003's lap.

"Some guys have all the luck, here I am waiting for dinner and where is 009? Asleep, with his head on her lap. Come on you crazy cook, when is dinner going to be ready I'm starving here."

I looked at her and thanked her for taking such care of me. She blushed and told me it was nothing, it was all the fault of 007 for losing his grip on his canteen, to begin with.

"Alright, due to public demand I guess I should not make that dessert after all. Dinner is now being served, come on it and dig in while it's hot." What I looked at was amazing, what looked to be barbecue chicken wings, and a stew to boot.

I said grace which caught everyone why the surprise. "Hey, my Kage was the head of a Christian orphanage, you think I don't know how to say grace? Everyone in that place did."

I began to eat the food with gusto as our cook friend told me. "Got to tell you, Chang, I am loving these wings, and the stew is something I had not tasted in a long time, Cantonese recipes I forgot all about."

He looked at me and smiled, "Well aren't you full of surprises 009, glad you like these simple dishes. I used plenty of those of the wings, and I guess the others will not want to know where I got the meat for the stew."

I looked at what he was pointing, "So you used bats for the wings, but where did you get the snake meat?" 007 looked at his food and stopped eating. "What do you mean 009?"

"Cantonese cuisine, I guess this really is the fire bat barbecue and snake surprise stew, just like mom used to make. What aren't you eating? You will not be able to get much if you don't dig in."

006 began to laugh as I said that, "Don't you worry there is plenty for everyone. I do appreciate you liking my food 009, at least you aren't ungrateful like someone we both know." He was looking at 007 as he finished saying that, as he returned the wings back to the pot.
