Cybersix: A New Beginning

Cybersix: A New Beginning
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been several days, between 1 and 2 weeks, as the City of Meridiana, when the massive monster, which was eventually and ironically called by most of the citizens of Meridiana, the Island of Doom or Isle of Doom, as it went through the city and that destroyed some parts of it and the massive explosion that nearly rocked the city as well when it exploded in the forest, hills, and cliff east of Meridiana, was slowly, but surely getting back to normal as the people were slowly starting to almost getting back into their daily routines as to what it was before. As well the Mayor and the City Officials were soon going to be tearing down the buildings that were still standing, but were either too damaged and/or dangerous to be left standing, after whatever that was left inside that was salvageable had been taken out, if there was anything left that was salvageable. After that was done then the Mayor and the other City Officials would soon start rebuilding the city.

The one thing is that the citizens of Meridiana were grateful for was that the monster hadn�t destroyed their famous landmark; the enormous Angel-Like Statue that had almost looked like it emerged and towered over from the center of the city, as long as it was standing the city would be safe and protected or so the people have been told. As the legend goes, as long as their Angel is standing the people would be safe and protected. So to the citizens of Meridiana still have its beckon of hope and that everything would be alright. Because of it, many people had left tokens of thanks at the base of the statue in gratitude as being their protector, not really knowing who�d had really saved them. Most of the people of Meridiana had left mostly flowers or lit candles, large and small candles, although other things were left there as well. Some people were seen praying or giving thanks at the base of statue as well.

The only thing was that was on Lucas Amato�s mind as he was coming back home from his work at school, throughout all this time, besides his work at school, was trying to find someway so that he could get a hold of some �Sustenance� for Cybersix and so far no luck.

When Lucas had eventually found Cybersix on the beach when he started looking for Cybersix the next day after the explosion, only it took quite awhile for Lucas to find her, and that was after he had looked nearly everywhere else using a motorbike and that took the better part of the day to do it. The reason why Lucas had decided to search for Cybersix was that he had seen that Cybersix wasn�t in her apartment when he looked into it, after seeing that there was a light shining on in the apartment through one of the windows.

Although when Lucas looked throughout the apartment, Lucas saw what he thought he would expect to see, the usual things that Lucas would except to see, like several books on poetry and literature, some from some of the great masters, like William Shakespeare, Percy�Bysshe�Shelley, Omar Khayyam, Sir Walter Raleigh, and other such noted writers, but then Lucas knew that Cybersix other identity as Adrian and Lucas knew that Cybersix is a Literature Teacher were the both worked at same school, and as Lucas looked around, he saw other things as well, like a few articles of men�s clothing, a First Aid Kit and some medicine, but then Lucas as looked around again, he was surprised as he looked into one of the closet and what he saw was something that was very interesting and it wasn�t Cybersix�s usual outfit or of her men clothing. The thing was that he didn�t think to take anything, not knowing if anything was needed.

Luckily for Cybersix and Lucas, when he did find her, that Cybersix hadn�t suffered any kinds of burns or broken limbs, but she did suffer from a dislocated right shoulder and had a quite a few cuts, which some of them were deep, although they didn�t needed to be stitch up, and some scratches as well, which most of them were going up from her waist, although the majority of them were on her arms and face, although there were a few on her neck and torso, when Lucas got her, more like, sneaked her into his apartment in the late afternoon.

When Lucas got Cybersix through his apartment door, making sure that nobody saw them, then into his bedroom, and finally on his bed, he went over to the bathroom and then he got 2 basins filled with water, three towels, two wash cloths, a bar of soap, a roll of gauze and a pair of scissors from there and although he didn�t do it all at once and when he finally got back with all the items, he took off her outfit and placed two of the towels over the appropriate places, when Lucas had removed her hat, cape, and tights and then he�d bandaged her up after washing the cuts and scratches and gently drying her off with the third towel. The thing is that Lucas didn�t know what to use to help with the cuts and scratches, so he just washed them with plain soap and water. It took awhile but after a few minutes Lucas then finally got her shoulder back in place; Cybersix was trying to keep herself as quiet as possible as it was painful as Lucas was trying to get Cybersix�s shoulder back in place. Afterwards Lucas began thinking of giving Cybersix some pain killers for her pain, but then Lucas thought against it, as he didn�t know how she would react to them, so the next best thing that he knew that might or would work a whole lot better, was to fill a hot water bottle with hot water and wrapped the hot water bottle in another towel and then Lucas placed it on her shoulder to ease her pain.

It was after Lucas had finished helping Cybersix, with her injuries; Lucas rummaged around in his dresser and looked for one of his pajama tops, and gave it to Cybersix so that the cut and scratches could properly heal. Although when he did find one, he saw that it was a too large and it almost didn�t cover her up entirely, but she didn�t complain, because Cybersix slept most of the time while she was there for better part of that day.

After Lucas had finished with what he was doing, Cybersix said a silent �Thank You� and fell asleep. It was then that Lucas covered Cybersix with the sheets and blankets as she lay there sleeping and then he kissed her lightly on her forehead and left the bedroom.

Lucas knew some things about Cybersix; like that his best friend Adrian and Cybersix were one and the same. This was when Lori had told Lucas about it after Lori, herself found out about it. Looking back how it seemed now that it was so ridiculous that Lucas had gotten a bit jealous over Adrian thinking that Cybersix was his girlfriend. This also explained Adrian�s strange behavior at times, like when Adrian didn�t want to go to the hospital after Adrian got hurt during the School Field Trip some time ago.

But the one thing was that he didn�t know is what she could and couldn�t take medicinally, because of her unique biological background, knowing Cybersix could take �Sustenance� and that has an acid base to it and Cybersix could drink it with no problem at all, although if somebody else were to drink it, that person would not survive. So Lucas had thought that he should play it safe, knowing that if used some sort of healing ointment or any other kinds of medicine, it could hurt Cybersix instead of helping her with her injuries.

The thing was that Lucas tried to get into Adrian�s apartment, about three or four days later, but Lucas found out that it was difficult, as the apartment manager didn�t want anyone coming in, other than the tenants, as few of the units had been robbed and/or vandalized in the apartment complex, as Lucas could see as he saw some graffiti on the wall as he looked in as Lucas left. So Lucas couldn�t get anything from the apartment to help Cybersix with her injuries. Also taking Cybersix to the hospital would be out of the question; because it would cause more trouble then it was worth and questions that couldn�t be properly answered. So Lucas thought it best to take care of Cybersix at his place instead.

It was some time after that Lucas had found Cybersix that Dataseven had made his way to Lucas�s apartment and was by Cybersix�s side the whole time since then except for one day in the afternoon and a late night jaunts each night so that he could get some exercise. When Dataseven thought he knew that almost everyone in Meridiana was asleep. Which also suited Dataseven very well, as his sleek black fur hid Dataseven very well in the night sky, expect when the moon was full and but then Dataseven knew how to hide himself from anyone, so if anyone was up and about, nobody saw Dataseven during his daily late night excursions. The other thing is that, also by the looks of it, on his body, Dataseven had escaped with little or no injuries. Must have been that he�d use up one of his nine lives, being a cat and all, a very large cat, but none the less a cat.

Because the apartment was a fair size, Lucas didn�t mind that neither Cybersix was staying in his bed, nor that Dataseven had his bedside vigil, as Lucas went to sleep on the couch at night. Although a couple of times in the beginning of Cybersix stay and Lucas was very, very tired, he almost fell asleep with Cybersix, but he very quickly recognized what he was about to do, as especially after he had felt Dataseven with his feet and Dataseven had looked up at Lucas and then Lucas went over to sleep on the couch.

He did find a couple of vials during his search for Cybersix and gave one of them to Cybersix, once he got her to his apartment and he hoped that he could analyze the other one and see if he could make more of the �Sustenance�, only to have most of his equipment had gotten destroyed, expect for his desk, as he had accidentally broke the vial and it splash most of the content on them and having lost most of the content of the vial as well. As to why the desk remained unharmed, Lucas had the foresight to put an acid-proof sheet on the desk to protect it, which had absorbed the fluid as it splash and spilled away.

The one thing is that Lucas was somewhat too busy worrying and wondering what to do, since he found Cybersix and that Dataseven had made it to his apartment, was that Lucas and Dataseven didn�t noticed two humanoid figures watching them from time to time, me being the taller of the two, my partner being about half the size of me. If you are wondering who they are, it was us as we�d had been watching Cybersix, Dataseven, and Lucas for some time now and so far everything had been Ok, as none of the Fixed Ideas or Technos hadn�t made an appearance since that explosion.

It was then that Lucas had come back from school and he looked and felt utterly exhausted, physically and to a much lesser degree emotionally. He went over to Cybersix and seeing her in a new sleep wear, which was bought a few days after she started to stay at Lucas�s place. The sleep wear fitted and covered her properly, not too tight or too loose and was at the right length to cover her appropriately, and then, as he went over to a chair and sat on it, then Lucas said, �I have been searching and so far nothing in finding any other �Vials of Sustenance� and I also have been trying to find any Fixed Ideas by looking around everywhere and anywhere and nothing as well. From the looks of it, it looks like that they had vanished from the face of the earth. What we need is help from someone else, but who do I contact.�

Then Cybersix weakly replied, �I think I know someone who might be able to help us. His name is Mr. Yashimoto. He is a Detective, a Private Investigator; Jose tried to use him to capture me. The plan almost succeeded, but Jose plans failed and we got the better of Jose in the end. The thing is that Mr. Yashimoto knows about my secret. So maybe he can help us.�

So Lucas went over to his phone and looked in the phone book and eventually found Mr. Yashimoto phone number, and dialed him up.

Mr. Yashimoto was a bit startled and surprised to hear his phone ringing at this time and then he thought, <�Who would need a Private Investigator at this time?�> As Mr. Yashimoto hadn�t gotten any phone calls before and didn�t expect to get any for some time. So he picked up the phone and then he said, �This is the Yashimoto Detective Agency, Mr. Yashimoto speaking. How can I help you?�

It was then that Lucas asked, �Hello, Mr. Yashimoto. I have something important I want to ask you. What do you know about Cybersix?�

When Mr. Yashimoto heard that, he was even more shocked and surprised at that what person had said on the phone and then he said, �I am sorry, but I can�t help you. Goodbye.�

As Mr. Yashimoto was about to hang up, Lucas almost shouted out, �No, no, no, no, no, no, please don�t hang up on me. My name is Lucas Amato.� And then in a much quieter voice, Lucas said, �I need your help, as well as Cybersix.�

When Mr. Yashimoto heard that, he said, �I apologize for what I had said, but I wanted to keep a promise that I made to myself about of what I know about Cybersix. So what do you know about Cybersix and is there anything that I can do for the both of you?�

So Lucas drew a deep breath in and then told Mr. Yashimoto everything, over the phone, about what he knew about Cybersix, how they first met, how Lucas found out about her secret identity, what has happened, and what was going on. And then after Lucas had told him everything that he knew, Mr. Yashimoto told him that he would help and it was then that Lucas about tell Mr. Yashimoto were he lived and Mr. Yashimoto told him that he already knew where he�d lived. It was then that Mr. Yashimoto told him that he would be there shortly after he found somebody to watch over his sister, Akiko.

After he found somebody to look over for Akiko, Mr. Yashimoto went over to Lucas�s place, using his bike to get there as his motorbike couldn�t get though some parts of the town.

As Lucas waited for a while, it was then that Lucas heard a knocking on his door, he opened it up, saw Mr. Yashimoto, let Mr. Yashimoto in and then Lucas gave a nervous sigh and then Lucas said, �Come on right in. Is there anything I can get you to eat or drink?�

Lucas said, �Sure, I will take you to her.� and he led Mr. Yashimoto to the bedroom.

When he saw Cybersix, she was in a sorry state, with at least a dozen or more cuts that she had, that could be seen on her with the bandages and all, with only a scant few of them had mostly healed up, and her shoulder was still sore and she was still weak.

It was then that Mr. Yashimoto did something and quickly went out of the bedroom and went over to the living room and went over to the window and looked out and about, then Mr. Yashimoto closed the window shutters and curtains and then went to the bedroom window and did the same thing as well, then turned around and looked at Cybersix and Lucas and then he said, �I don�t know if it just my Detective Skills or something else, but I thought that we were being watched.

Luckily for both of us, we got on the top of the roof above Lucas�s apartment just before Mr. Yashimoto had looked out.

Cybersix said as she�d tried to get up, �I want you to find a Fixed Idea.�

Then Lucas and Cybersix both answered, �A Fixed Idea.� Then the both of them went on to describe what a Fixed Idea looked like and why they needed one.

After hearing at what both Cybersix and Lucas had said, Mr. Yashimoto looked at the both of them, did a couple of paces, paused for moment, thought for a moment or two while stroking his chin and then answered, �Yes, yes, I remember them and you want me to find one or two of them. And the reason is that they are the only source of �Sustenance�.�

Both Cybersix and Lucas nodded and then Cybersix said, �Actually, the only recognizable source of �Sustenance�. There are the Technos, but most of them can look like your average citizen and most of them are probably scattered anywhere and everywhere in the city. So it is better to look for a Fixed Idea.�

Mr. Yashimoto answered, �I do my very best to try to find one, but I can�t guarantee you anything, as I have to be discreet about this, so that I don�t cause unwanted attention, if a certain person or persons are still alive.�

Lucas and Cybersix both nodded their heads in agreement as they didn�t know if Jose was still alive, or for that matter if Dr. Von Reichter was alive as well.

So it was then that Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto went over to the living room. It was then that Lucas asked, �So how much is your consulting fee.�

Mr. Yashimoto replied, �Nothing, I mean you don�t have to pay me anything, the reason is that Cybersix has helped me and now I am helping her, it the least that I can do for her, and I am indebted to her as to what she did in helping me and my sister. Also it is an honor to meet you, Mr. Amato, although it could be under better circumstances.�

Lucas chuckled a bit at what Mr. Yashimoto had said and then Lucas said, �That is true and call me Lucas instead, it is better that way.�

It was then that my partner saw something slowly walking behind me, actually, to be more precise, someone slowly walking behind me, Dataseven. Unbeknownst to everyone and including us, Dataseven had somehow slipped out of the Lucas�s apartment as Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto were having their conversation and was now staring at us and giving a low menacing growl at us. The only thing that either of us could do was to run away, after I had thrown something at him in his face, and that was after Dataseven managed to grab onto and rip a portion of my partner�s cape with his teeth, it was then that we got away to escape from him.

Shortly afterwards, Lucas heard something lightly scratching the door and what sounded like a kitten mewing then followed by some sneezing at his door. So Lucas slowly and cautiously opened the door and Lucas was surprised to see Dataseven was there.

Dataseven was snorting, sneezing and pawing as the white powder, which anyone could see against his black fur, went up into his nose as Dataseven was trying to get rid of whatever was in his nose.

It was then that Lucas noticed something in Dataseven mouth, Dataseven let it go and Lucas grabbed it and then looked at it and Lucas then turned around to Mr. Yashimoto and said to him, �I guess it was your Detective Skills after all Mr. Yashimoto and not something else, here take a look.� And Lucas showed him the ripped portion of my partner�s cape and gave it to him.

It was then that Dataseven gave a great big sneeze as more of the powder went up his nose, startling both Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto. So what Lucas did was that he went over to the kitchen and made a wet cloth from a kitchen cloth, came back, and wiped off most of whatever was on Dataseven�s nose and around his mouth and that had made it a bit better, not much, but a bit better and then Dataseven went back to his vigil beside Cybersix, still sneezing, but not as loud as before, as the remaining powder that was left in his nose was working its magic.

Mr. Yashimoto looked at the cloth and saw that it was black on one side and a bright red on the other side, and had the look and feel of like it was made of some sort of leather or something similar, and then he said to Lucas, �Lucas, whoever has been watching you probably doesn�t mean either of you any harm, because if whoever has been watching you could have done it anything at anytime since Cybersix and Dataseven has been here. Look at what whoever had done that to Dataseven just only stopped him from pursuing him or her.�

It was then that Mr. Yashimoto came closer to Lucas and showed a few spots on the cloth on the black side; Lucas looked at it and wondered what it was. It was then that Mr. Yashimoto answered, �That is a water stain and this kind of stain you could only get if one has been sitting in the rain. And since it only rained only once and was two days afterwards, in the evening, after that big explosion this person might have watching you and Cybersix since then.�

Mr. Yashimoto was right, we had been watching them both, some time after Lucas got Cybersix into his apartment, well quite some time after that, and we knew that maybe, just maybe they might or will be needing our help sooner or later.

As we were going to what we had made us a home, the both of us giggled at what I had did.

As Lucas went in to the bedroom, he looked at Cybersix and he said, �Are you going to be able to eat what I have given you for breakfast.�

Cybersix looked and stared at the large amount of food on the tray table and she hesitantly replied, �I think so, although it might take me some time.�

Lucas was thankful that Cybersix appetite was good and that she could eventually eat all of the food that Lucas had prepared or had brought over from either a caf� or restaurant. Lucas was also thankful that Cybersix could eat as well; at least it was helping her keep her health and strength up a bit.

It was then that Lucas said, �Ok so bye, I will see you after I get back from work from school.�

Cybersix knew that Lucas had a big appetite, but she didn�t know how big, as she looked at the big breakfast that he had prepared for her, so Cybersix ate as much as she could and would finish the rest later.

Lucas had told the school that Adrian had came down with something and that Lucas didn�t know when Adrian would be feeling any better, so the school decided to keep Adrian�s teaching position opened until the end of the school year, with pay, until he was able to come back and teach, being such good teacher and all. Although a substitute teacher was filling in until Adrian could come back, which Lucas hoped was going to be soon or so Lucas wished.

Also Lori asked Lucas about Adrian, and that was after the school had re-opened up and classes had started again, and how he was doing, knowing who Adrian really is and Lucas answered that everything was fine for now. Lori felt embarrassed that she was in love with a woman, and that she still had her drawing on one of her books and Lori had showed it to Lucas and it was then that Lucas confessed of the jealous feelings thinking at one point that Cybersix was Adrian�s girlfriend, and then they both laughed at that, although a bit self-consciously. When Lori found out about Cybersix secret identity and she told Lucas that she was sorry for everything that she did and that Lori said that she hoped that Adrian would come back soon. Lucas told Lori that he would relay the message and that he too hoped that Adrian come back soon.

Cybersix was feeling much better, so much so that she decided to go on an early night stroll outside with Dataseven. Only telling Lucas at the last minute what she was going to do and that was only after she had changed into her costume.

When Lucas found out, he said in as quiet a voice as he could managed, although he was still angry, �Are you crazy, going out in your all your injuries and such. What if you were attack? Who would help you?�

Cybersix answered, �I want to get out, and I need to get out. I have been in your apartment since day one after that explosion and the only exercise that I been getting was you helping me walk around your apartment, among other things as well. The night air might do me some good. Besides I got Dataseven with me. Also I am only going for a short stroll, I will be back shortly. Besides Mr. Yashimoto hasn�t found any Fixed Ideas yet, maybe they all got perished in the fire and very soon I will��

Lucas didn�t want to hear that, so he lightly kissed her on the lips, causing his anger to disperse and then he said, �Don�t say that, one way or another we will find a way so that we can make �Sustenance� or make it so that you don�t need it.�

Then Cybersix replied, �But the only one who does know, is gone or so we think and Jose might know, but we don�t know if he is alive or not.�

Lucas replied, �We will find out sooner or later, now go I will wait up for you.�

Cybersix gave Lucas a light kiss on the cheek, smiled a bit, and then she half-jokingly said, �If Dataseven can�t help me, maybe a Guardian Angel will. I will be back in half an hour or so.� And then she took off and was then followed by Dataseven.

Lucas loved Cybersix and Cybersix loved Lucas, but Lucas knew and saw that something else was holding Cybersix back and it wasn�t just her injuries, but something else. Beyond kissing, holding their hands lightly, and hugging, Cybersix couldn�t or wouldn�t do anything else.

It took awhile for Cybersix to admit that she loved Lucas and even after the massive explosion, that nearly took her life, Cybersix was still being reluctant to express her feelings of love or any other feelings. It was only after Lucas had convinced that he was in love with her by giving her a deep long kiss and that Lucas told her that he didn�t care if she was or wasn�t a human being and that he stilled loved her. To Lucas, Cybersix was a human being. It was then that Cybersix broke down and told Lucas that she loved him as well and gave Lucas a passionate kiss and from which Lucas drank from. It was also during that time that Cybersix was crying as the tears flowing down her cheeks. All the pent up emotions were coming out and right there and then that Cybersix knew that she was in love with Lucas.

It was then that we followed Cybersix as well, keeping a fair distance from her, so that she wouldn�t see us, but always keeping her within our sight.

It was just been a just barely a few minutes into Cybersix jaunt when 6 or 8 Fixed Ideas had came up and surrounded Cybersix and as they where about to get her. The reason why Dataseven couldn�t help was that he was the wrong position because if he had tried to help Cybersix, she could have gotten hurt and more likely get some more injuries and the only thing that he could was snarled and growled at the Fixed Ideas and that Dataseven hoped that the Fixed Ideas would move so that he could help. So we�d checked again to make sure how many there were and saw that it was only 6 Fixed Ideas and not 8 of them, which they were going to attack Cybersix. It was then that I was just about to help Cybersix; only my partner touched me lightly on the shoulder, stopping me and told me that she wanted to take them on and to give a message to you know who. Knowing who she was talking about, I gave her the go ahead.

As Cybersix was about to fight as best as she could and Dataseven waited until he could help Cybersix, when a blur came across the back of one of the Fixed Idea and he said after a moment or two, �Uhh. Who touched me?� It was then that just after the Fixed Idea had spoke that he fell flat on his face with a thundering crash on the roof top, because of his dead weight and then the Fixed Idea found out that he was unable to move.

The other Fixed Ideas didn�t know, other than to follow the order that they were given, so they did what they were told to do, so the Fixed Ideas did was to try to get Cybersix again.

It was then another blur went across another Fixed Idea and this one felt him being punched several times in the torso and was sent for a loop as a hard and swift punch hit him in the chin, causing him to stagger for a moment or two. I, on the other hand, was trying not to laugh out too loud or lose my hiding spot as my partner was making swift work on those Fixed Ideas. Hitting them here and punching them there and touching them in certain spots. During the confusion the Fixed Ideas didn�t noticed that Cybersix had slipped away nor that Dataseven was helping her to get away and when my partner once knew that Cybersix was safe. She stopped fighting them and then she herself then had disappeared into the night.

When it was all over, the Fixed Ideas couldn�t find Cybersix or who was attacking them. All they saw of my partner, if they saw anything, was a bunch of blurs, as my partner had used the night, the shadows, and her speed to conceal herself. It was then that two of the six Fixed Ideas couldn�t move and that included the first one that she had touched. So the others Fixed Ideas picked up the other two went back to wherever they came from.

When Cybersix got back, Lucas was surprised at how short her trip was. Because Cybersix said that she would be back in half an hour or so and she came back in just under 10-15 minutes. When she finally got in, she said, �Fixed� Ideas� attacked me. Someone or� something� stopped them. Dataseven� helped� me get back�, don�t� feel to well�, I think� I need� to rest�� As Cybersix was finishing her sentence, the last few words were being slurred.

Lucas looked at Cybersix and said, �Where are they, if they are not to far maybe I could get some �Sustenance� from one of them.� Only Lucas would get no answers from Cybersix as she had collapsed in a fainting spell in front of him. So Lucas grabbed Cybersix as she fell and held her in his arms. The shock of seeing the Fixed Ideas was a bit too much for her. So the only thing that Lucas could do was to take her to his bed and let her sleep.

It was then that he thought, <�If only Cybersix could have told me where those Fixed Ideas were. I wondered who or what saved her and why. I hope to get some answers soon.�>

It was then that Lucas carefully took off Cybersix�s outfit and carefully then put her sleep wear on her. After he was finished and thought for awhile at what had recently happened, after a while, that�s he got ready and went sleep on the couch.

Jose was trying to think up of an idea of getting rid of Cybersix, if and once he knew for sure that she was alive or to take over the City of Meridiana, but after he looked at it and carefully re-examined his latest scheme, only to find something wrong and then screamed his head and pulled at his hair in frustration. It was then that several Fixed Ideas and a few Technos had entered his place.

Jose was surprised to see any Fixed Ideas or Technos, because the only Fixed Ideas or Technos that were remaining, that were anywhere, was in the mansion and the majority of those Fixed Ideas were the female Fixed Ideas, only to be more shocked as the last person had walked in, his Father, Dr. Von Reichter.

Jose was shocked and scared as he saw his Father walking toward him. As Jose looked he saw that Dr. Von Reichter had a mask covering his face and all that you could see was his eyes and nose sticking out and that the nose also was partially covered as well and that he had a limp that affected his left leg and was being aided with a cane and occasionally by a couple odd-looking Technos.

It was then Jose gulped and then he said, �F� F� Fa� Father, you� you had s� s� sur� survived�� Dr. Von Reichter said nothing only continuing to walk towards Jose. It was then that Jose realized what was going on and got out of his chair and stood beside it and got hidden by the desk and when Dr. Von Reichter got there, he sat down on it, more like he collapsed into the chair. Then Dr. Von Reichter said. �I want all, but Jose to leave.�

As everyone was leaving it was then that Dr. Von Reichter motioned to one of the Technos and then Dr. Von Reichter said, �When the Fixed Ideas I have sent to find Cybersix and bring her back, have arrived, notify me and let them in.� The Techno nodded and left the room.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter replied, �Yes, I had survived, but at a terrible price.� It was then that Dr. Von Reichter took off his mask and showed what was beneath it. Jose gasped as he saw his Father�s face. It was then Jose noticed that his Father�s left arm also didn�t move so well either. The thing is that no one else knew what Dr. Von Reichter looked like behind the mask. So Jose was the only one that knew what he looked like behind that mask.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter put back on his mask and then he said, �If you are wondering if Cybersix and Dataseven have survived, well if I had survived that, it is more than likely that she had survived as well. As to what kind of state, as to what kind of injures, Cybersix and Dataseven have, it�s anyone�s guess. That is why I have made some more Fixed Ideas and sent out some of them to search for her and bring her back here. As well, while I was gathering my health and strength during that time, since that explosion, as I also made a few more Technos. As to what I am going to do with you, I am letting you can have the city. You can do anything you want. It is now your playground, as long as you don�t destroy it. You are not the problem; it is Cybersix, she is the problem, although getting rid of her is now secondary, to our main goal, unless she interferes with any plans that we or either of us has made. As to where I am going to build my new lab it will be right here in the basement of this place. All of the things that could be found from my old lab that was salvageable should be arriving sometime either tomorrow afternoon or the next day or two after that.�

It was then that the Techno had come back, looked at Dr. Von Reichter, he gulped and then he said, �Sorry to interrupt you, Master, but the Fixed Ideas that you have sent out have come back, Master.�

When the Fixed Ideas came in, Jose and Dr. Von Reichter saw that two of the Fixed Ideas were being held up by the others as they were sandwiched between the others and being held up by their arms as others held them on their shoulders and that they didn�t have Cybersix with them. It was then that Dr. Von Reichter asked, �What had happened to you.�

One of the six Fixed Ideas said, �Almost had Cybersix, someone, something stopped us, didn�t see it. Maybe only saw some blurs, not sure. These can�t walk, came back here.�

Jose walked towards them, just a bit past the desk, although he didn�t know how to fully understand what they had said, although Jose could understand what they were saying, he couldn�t comprehend as to what they had said, even with their simplistic speaking. If Jose had looked backed at his Father, Dr. Von Reichter, Jose would have seen him shaking his head and then touching his temple as if he was trying to figure out something or dreading as to what had and could happen.

It was then that both Dr. Von Reichter and Jose heard something coming from the other Fixed Ideas. Like a snapping or a popping sound and it sounded like it was coming from their joints, so both Dr. Von Reichter and Jose looked at the Fixed Ideas and it was then that the rest of them had came crashing down in a big pile heap, with a thunderous crash. One of them couldn�t move as the same as the others ones that couldn�t move and the remaining three couldn�t move their legs.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter said, �So they have survived as well. What an interesting way to tell me.�

Jose didn�t understand what his Father was talking about, so Jose turned around and asked, �Father, what are you talking about.�

Dr. Von Reichter stretched a bit as best he could, yawned, and then replied, �I will tell you in the morning, as it is getting late and I need to get some rest.� It was then that Dr. Von Reichter looked at the paralyzed Fixed Ideas and he said, �They should be fine in the morning. Take them to where ever the other Fixed Ideas sleep and if you can, can you make or to get someone to make me some place ready for me to sleep in.�

So Jose got some help and got the Fixed Ideas to their sleeping quarters and got a couple female Fixed Ideas to get a room ready for his Father to sleep in.

As we were already up my partner was doing something as if counting down to something and then I remembered what happened last night and then I started to laugh at what was about to happen.

Only a few of the people in Jose�s mansion were already awake. Jose was standing near his Father as Dr. Von Reichter was finishing sipping his coffee and eating his breakfast with his face turned to the wall, as to that no one could see his face, then it happened. The 6 paralyzed Fixed Ideas screamed out as the very painful effects of what my partner did took effect. If there was anyone asleep before the screams, there sure wasn�t anyone afterwards as the screams were the loudest that a humanoid body could produced. So for the first time those Fixed Ideas had experienced real pain.

Jose was startled as he heard the screams echoing though out the mansion, as did everyone else. It was then that Dr. Von Reichter said, �Alright already, I get the message, I get the message.� Dr. Von Reichter looked at Jose and said, �If you are wondering what I am talking about. It is about these two.� And Dr. Von Reichter got something out of his left shirt pocket and handed Jose a photo.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter told most of everything that he knew about us to Jose even describing what we looked, height, weight and such. Jose was simple shocked, thrilled, and somewhat disgusted at what his Father had told him.

We were at our home, and as I was thinking about some things, mostly about Cybersix, it was then my partner walk up to me and then she said, �If you are thinking about Cybersix and what had happened to her last night, I am guessing that at the top, figuring in what had happened to her during that battle, that she, just maybe, has at least two or three days� no maybe even fours days at best, before she needs more �Sustenance� and then it is a matter of time��

Then I interrupted her and said, �I know, I know, so how about we give Lucas and Cybersix, the things that Cybersix needs.�

I got a fair sized cardboard box with a closable top, while my partner got the other things that we thought that was needed for Cybersix. Then we put in several �Vials of Sustenance�, plus a few other items, making sure that everything was wrapped and packed in properly, so that nothing would get broken, especially the �Vials of Sustenance�. It was then that I wrote a note and placed it on top of everything. I then taped the box shut as the best I could, with the little amount of tape that we had. It was then that we went on our way to Lucas�s apartment from our home and through the labyrinth of sewers tunnels as I carried the box to them.

We just got there as Julian had knocked on the door of Lucas�s apartment. Then Lucas opened the door, he saw Julian and Lucas said, �Hi Julian, come on in. You could only stay for a few minutes; Cybersix had a bit of a setback last night. And if she is asleep, let her sleep.�

Whenever Julian was able and wanted to see Cybersix, he would wait for Lucas to return from his work from school and then when Julian thought he knew that Lucas was in his apartment, Julian would go in. The reason Julian did that is because he could get a free meal after he had finished talking to Cybersix. Although the meal or snack varied, as one day Julian would get a sandwich and milk or juice and the next day or time, Julian would get some cookies and milk, as Lucas didn�t mind, as it was also helping him deal with what was going with Cybersix.

Julian found out about Lucas when Dataseven went on to check on Julian to see if he was Ok. That was during the early in the afternoon the second day after the explosion.

It didn�t take that long for Dataseven to search for Julian as the boat that Julian lived in, was still there and Julian had stayed in it, just in case that either Cybersix and/or Dataseven would come looking for him. Dataseven was glad to see that Julian was uninjured and in good health. When Julian saw Dataseven, Julian was also glad to see him as well, as he saw that Dataseven wasn�t injured in anyway, but was also worried that Cybersix wasn�t there with Dataseven.

When Julian saw that Dataseven was alone and he asked, �Where is Cybersix. Is something wrong with her? Do you know where she is? Can you take me there?�

Dataseven nodded his head and gave a disgruntled growl as he couldn�t tell Julian anything more as to what had happen or what kind of state Cybersix was in. So the only thing that Dataseven could do was to lay on the ground so that he could let Julian on his back and take Julian to Cybersix.

When they got to Lucas�s apartment, Dataseven lightly pawed at the door and waited for Lucas. It was then that Lucas said through the door, �Dataseven, I know that you went out through the window, so why do you want to come in through my apartment door.�

It was then that Lucas grumbled a bit, under his breath, at what Dataseven was doing and had opened the door and that�s when he saw Julian with Dataseven. So Lucas knelt down and looked at Julian and said, �Oh, hi, my name is Lucas Amato. So, what is your name?� Lucas asked that knowing full well who he is, as Cybersix had described Julian to Lucas before, but Julian didn�t know who Lucas was, so Lucas pretended to not to know about Julian as well.

Julian hesitated a bit until Dataseven gave Julian a light nudge in the back in a way telling Julian that Lucas is Ok and Julian answered, �Hi. My name is Julian. Is there anything wrong with Cybersix?�

Lucas sighed and said, �Cybersix got badly hurt. But she is Ok for now. If you want to see her I will take you to her. So try not to touch Cybersix as she is still hurting from her injuries.�

So Lucas to led Julian to his bedroom and let him see Cybersix. It was then that Julian saw Cybersix and then Julian said, �Cybersix, are you alright.�

Cybersix replied, �I am now, now that I am seeing you. I am tired so can you let me rest and I will see you soon.�

Julian replied, �If it is Ok, and if I can make it, can I see you here everyday or almost everyday until you get better.�

Cybersix answered, �Don�t ask me, you have to ask Lucas, although it is Ok with me for you to visit me.� And then Cybersix gave a weak smile as she had fallen asleep.

Lucas saw that Julian wanted to see Cybersix as soon as Julian went out of the bedroom and from what he had heard as well, so Lucas said, �Sure, you can visit here as long as I am here. Although I want you to keep the visit short and if Cybersix is asleep, let her sleep, you can see her after she awakes.�

Julian agreed to what Lucas had said. Then Lucas asked, �Do you like anything before you go. Also do you have a last name?�

Julian replied, �Can I have something to eat and drink, please sir, ah, oh, Mr. Lucas Amato. Sorry I don�t have a last name that I know of, I am an orphan.�

As Lucas was preparing something for Julian, Lucas looked at Julian, smiled at him and then said, �You can call me Lucas, that what Cybersix calls me and besides a friend of Cybersix is a friend of mine.�

It was then that Lucas gave Julian a sandwich and a glass of milk and after he finished his meal and thanked Lucas and then Julian left.

It was after Julian had left that and Cybersix had awakened that she had told Lucas about how she meet Julian, helped Julian and how they had become good friends.

We waited as Julian visited Cybersix and saw how Julian�s presence was helping her get and feel better. Being near her friends was actually making her be in a better mood and that in turn was helping her with her health, only that in few more days that would not have mattered.

After Julian finished visiting and talking to Cybersix and after Julian had seen how bad she looked, Julian asked. �Lucas, Is Cybersix going to be Ok.�

Lucas replied, �Sure she is going Ok. A good friend of Cybersix and I are trying our best, so that Cybersix can get better. So don�t you worry, everything is Ok. Besides I think you know him, it is Mr. Yashimoto. Now I have something for you.� It was then that Lucas gave Julian some soup and a sandwich and Julian quickly ate it up.

Julian got elated when he heard that Mr. Yashimoto was also helping Cybersix and asked if he could help in any other way. Lucas told Julian that coming here was all the help that Cybersix needed. The one thing is that Lucas didn�t have the heart to tell Julian is that Cybersix might die soon because Mr. Yashimoto hadn�t found any Fixed Ideas yet. Also Lucas didn�t tell Julian about that either.

After Julian had left, we put our plan in motion. I handed the box to my partner and she leapt down from the roof to the street below and quickly and quietly went up the stairs, so that nobody saw her as well, jumping from landing to landing as she went up, making sure that the content stayed relatively still, so that nothing inside would break. She put the box down and knocked on the door. And then just she did going up the stairs my partner quickly and quietly went down the stairs. The reason is why my partner used the stairs and not the elevator was, because the elevator would have announced her presence and at that point in time as we didn�t know how they would react, especially the way we�d looked, more so with my partner.

Then Lucas opened the door and said, �What do you want, Julian.� Thinking that Julian had come back, only he didn�t see Julian at the door, but what he did see was the box that my partner had left. Lucas looked at the box and thought, <�Who would leave a box here. I wonder who left it here.�>

So Lucas got the box in, opened it up and saw a �Vial of Sustenance� and several other items. Some of the content did get loose, but luckily none of �Vials of Sustenance� or other containers had gotten broken. It was then that Lucas saw my note.

So Lucas took a Vial of �Sustenance�, the ointment, painkillers and the tonic.

Before he went over to Cybersix, with the vials and containers, he looked to see if there was anything on the containers and saw the painkillers and the ointment had some instructions on them. So Lucas read the instruction on the painkillers and it said, �Take 1 to 2 capsules every 4 to 6 hours, when needed for pain.� While the ointment said, �Apply to cuts and abrasion sparingly.�

So Lucas went over to the kitchen and got a glass of water and then went over to Cybersix.

Lucas answered, �From your mysterious Guardian Angel, remember when you had half-jokingly said that maybe a Guardian Angel would help you, well you got two of them and they left a box fill of stuff. There are a least half a dozen or more �Vials of Sustenance� and that is not all.� It was then that Lucas showed Cybersix the other items that he had. So Cybersix took her nightwear off and properly covered herself over the appropriate place and then Lucas took off the bandages and starting put the ointment on her cuts. Cybersix winched a bit as the healing ointment stung as he put it on. As Lucas was putting the ointment, Cybersix drank the �Vial of Sustenance� and started to feel her strength returning. It was then that after he had finished putting the ointment on her cuts and had put on some new bandages on Cybersix, it was then after that Lucas gave Cybersix the bottle of tonic and she felt more of her strength returning and then finally the painkillers with the glass of water. Finally Cybersix had put her nightwear back on.

It was then that Lucas said �That isn�t the only thing that they left. They also left a note. Here read it.� And then Lucas handed the note to Cybersix. After Cybersix read the note and she said, �I would like to see who they are. Let�s do it Lucas.�

As we watched and waited as we hoped that Lucas would put the �Vial of Sustenance� in the window sill any time soon. It was then that we saw that Lucas was helping get Cybersix walk into the living room and onto the couch and then he had placing the one of �Vials of Sustenance� on the window sill, after he had gotten one of them out of the box. We then jumped over to the ledge, from the building across the street, just behind the shutters and then we looked in. We saw that Dataseven was also there. So we both nodded, possible knowing the risk that we might have deal with Dataseven�s wrath and/or anger and after what we had did to Dataseven, more specifically what I did to Dataseven, so we cautiously entered Lucas�s apartment through the window.

As I entered the apartment, just got in, only a just barely a inch or two from the window, when I was greeted by Dataseven, as he growled at me, so I backed away so far back, that I�d hit my partner as she was entering in the place and causing her to fall out of the window and upsetting the Vial of �Sustenance�, as she was just hanging on to the window ledge, leaving a good impression of her hands on the window ledge, so I grabbed her and the vial and then got her and the vial in the apartment and tossed the vial to Lucas, where he thankfully caught it without dropping or breaking it. It was then that we all gave a sigh of relief, except for Dataseven, at the near tragedy that had happened; it was then that Lucas put the vial in a safer place, the box that it came from. It was then that we were cornered by Dataseven as he continued to growl at us. So I closed my eyes and put my hands up and then my partner did the same thing as well.

As Dataseven was sniffing us, getting bolder as the time went on. I didn�t know what to expect, until I felt my partner starting to laugh. So I opened my eyes and saw that Dataseven was licking my partner in the face. Then Dataseven looked at me, got up on me, and sniffed at me, after my partner got out of the way, especially around my waist, luckily I didn�t have anything on me, like the last time when we first met Dataseven, and then he stood up and did the same thing to me as well. So we had passed a test with Dataseven and we both gave a sigh of relief, although Dataseven kept a wary eye on us during our stay that night.

It was then that I dropped myself onto the chair and my partner sat down besides me on the floor.

My heart was still racing a bit after what Dataseven had did to us. Then I looked down at my partner and saw that she was still a bit startled as well.

I could see that Lucas and Cybersix were staring at us. I also could tell that they were mostly looking my partner as she looked almost like a female Jose, only she�d looked at bit older by about two or three years, and she also a bit taller by a few inches, in between 4 to 8 inches taller or so and her hair was medium brown with a bright red streak in it, going down on her left side of her parting and although it was bit longer then Jose. It was a lot longer than that before, but I tried my best to cut it to its new length, to that it was slightly longer than Cybersix. Also she didn�t wear any eyeglasses, like Jose does, as well. Where is I looked was totally different. I looked like I was around 14 - 16 years old and I had silver hair, also with a bright red streak in the same place as my partners. I had an almost feminine angelic quality to my looks as well, especially with my face.

The outfits that we wore were almost like Cybersix�s only proportionally our capes and our hats were a bit smaller. Although our capes were a quite a bit shorter than Cybersix, the width of our capes was more, so that we could wrap ourselves completely in them, which we did, especially that night it had rained. Also the shoes that we are wearing the heels were not as high as hers. My partner outfit was the same as Cybersix�s in color, being all black, except for the underneath of the cape which is a bright red, were as mine was all white to go along with my hair. Although our outfits were a bit dirty especially from staying on top of the roofs in all sorts of weather and my partner�s still had that missing portion of her cape.

Again I answered, �We don�t have any names. Dr. Von Reichter never gave us one as far as we know.�

Cybersix didn�t believe us so she went over and check our arms and saw that there was nothing on them. Sometimes Dr. Von Reichter puts tattoos on some of his creations, but he didn�t to it to us. It was then that Cybersix ask, �Then why did he decide to create the both of you.�

I answered, �Because when he was trying to make Jose for the first time, instead of getting Jose, he got her. Something went wrong and instead of getting a male he got a female. It was sometime afterwards that he created me, to be like a Sister, guardian or something or other like that. Although when I saw him for the first time, it looked like he was somewhat disappointed when he got me as well, like he was wanted something else, but after a while it didn�t matter.�

It was then that Lucas looked at my partner and he said, �You have been quiet all this time. Are you shy?�

Still looking at my partner, Lucas asked, �So why haven�t you�d talk to us yet.�

I gave a nod and then my partner then opened her mouth to say something, only nothing came out as she tried to talk. It was then that both of them realized that my partner was a mute.

Then I said, �We don�t know if is a byproduct of what went wrong when she was being created or something else, although my partner and I do have another ways of communicating. We have developed a whistle language and there is something else we can do. The both of us can do Sign Language.�

It was then that my partner did something, with her hands; she gave a few gestures in Sign Language. Cybersix and Lucas look at what she had said with her hands and then I said, �What she had said right now was �This how is one of the ways that we can communicate.� Unfortunately at this time I am the only one that can understand what she is saying with both ways of communicating. We had found a book on Sign Language and so far we have covered a good portion of it. Although I think that we are getting some of the signs wrong.�

It was then that they looked at my partner and Lucas said, �If only there was another way for you to communicate to us.�

Our faces lit up and I said, �Well there another way for my partner to talk.�

Then I nodded, giving my partner my approval and then my partner said, [�This is how we usually talk to each other.�]

When Cybersix, Dataseven and Lucas heard my partner talking like that, all of them were shock and surprised.

When it was my turn that I gave them my own surprise and I said, [�But then I could do the same thing as well.�]

I saw the shocked look on their faces and then I said, �Sorry, I didn�t mean to startle you like that.�

It was then that Cybersix asked, �How did you survive. How did you find me? What can the both of you do? Is she like Jose or is she like me or something different entirely.�

I took in a deep breath, let it all out slowly and then answered, �We survived by mostly sheer luck. The explosion had got us free, well it freed us from our prison and then as everything was falling all over the place, all of a sudden the floor collapsed beneath us and then we fell. Just below our prison and the building, as we were falling, we had discovered that there is a vast cavern and using our skills landed safely at the bottom of the cavern floor. So we looked around and eventually found our way out. So we decided to look for you, being a renegade and all, only we didn�t know where to look and it was then that we saw Dataseven and we know that Dataseven is almost always with you so we had followed him to find you. I am like you in strength and such, although in addition I know several different forms of fighting and martial art moves, where my partner is more or less the same, like the both of us, but she doesn�t have the same fighting skills as I do. Also because of her height and small stature, my partner can do something else. Dr. Von Reichter gave her something extra. The other thing is that, like Jose, my partner will not get any older. She will be like this to the day she dies.�

I answered, �We just call ourselves Sis. We couldn�t think of any name to give to ourselves. We haven�t found a book of names yet.�

Cybersix then asked, �You said that your Sis can do something else, so what can she do.�

It was then that my Sis said, [�Help you with your shoulder, if you want me too.�]

It was then that Dataseven intently looked at my Sis as she was about to do something, making sure that she wasn�t going to hurt Cybersix, making my Sis a little nervous.

Then my Sis took in a very deep breath and then my Sis said, [�Ok, here I go.�]

It was then that my Sis touched a few spots on Cybersix�s body. It was then that Cybersix felt nothing happening, until my Sis pinched her hand as my Sis made Cybersix look away. Cybersix could not feel any pain with her right shoulder, arm and hand.

It was then that my Sis put her hands on Cybersix shoulder and after a minute or two of manipulating it around; we all heard a small pop. We then knew that Cybersix�s shoulder was finally put back in its place. It was then that my Sis touched a few spots and then Cybersix could feel pain again with her right shoulder, arm and hand.

Then I said, �Lucas, you didn�t put Cybersix�s shoulder back in place, well actually it wasn�t completely in place, but it wasn�t so completely out of place either, that is why her shoulder was so sore. As to what my Sis can do, is called �Pressure Point Technique�. But on another note, what Mr. Yashimoto had said is true; we could have done it anything at anytime since both of you, Cybersix and Dataseven had been here, especially with my Sis here.�

It was then that Cybersix looked at my Sis and said, �So it was you who�d saved me from those Fixed Ideas.�

My Sis nodded and said, [�Yes, two of the six Fixed Ideas I had more or less immediately paralyzed and the others I gave them a delayed reaction to what I did and possibly and probably within a few minutes of meeting Dr. Von Reichter and maybe Jose as well, one of the remaining four would also be paralyzed, like the first two and other three wouldn�t be able to move their legs. Then I set it so that when the paralysis will wear off with those Fixed Ideas in the morning, because it was in the evening when I had done it. The other thing is that I did was something else, if anyone is asleep in the morning, wherever there home is, when those paralyzed Fixed Ideas wake up or even if those six paralyzed Fixed Ideas are awake, when the paralysis wears off, because nobody else won�t be afterwards. What I did was after the paralysis wears off, I caused every nerve in those six Fixed Ideas will go off at the same time, resulting in a very painful effect and causing them to scream, possible waking everyone who is not awake.�]

Then Cybersix gasp and then said, �So how do you know that� that Dr. Von Reichter is alive.�

Then I answered, �Because until last night there were no Fixed Ideas. Then all of a sudden 6 show up and almost caught you. If it weren�t for my Sis here, you would have or could have been caught. It takes about that long to make that many Fixed Ideas. Although the figure could be at least double for this time period unless Dr. Von Reichter had also made a few Technos as well.�

It was then that told him the reasons that we figured Dr. Von Reichter is alive.

It was shortly afterwards about our conversation about Dr. Von Reichter that Lucas asked, �How did you and your Sis find out that you both could talk to everyone and not just any of Dr. Von Reichter�s creations.�

I answered, �By accident. A person bumped my Sis and she responded, by saying to unknowingly him, [�Watch were you are going.�] and then the person who had bumped my Sis, looked around and he said �Who said that.� And everyone looked at him as though he was crazy. So my Sis did it again to him and again he did the same thing. So we tried it out with a few other people and that�s when we found out that we both can talk to people this way.�

So we talked some more and after we had finished out conversation, Lucas asked, �So when can we see you.�

I answered, �We could meet you at your school, near the lions statues, when you are finished and also if he can come as well, bring Mr. Yashimoto so we can tell him about us.�

It was then that Lucas heard something and looked at Cybersix, only the noise wasn�t coming from her. Then Cybersix and Lucas heard the sound again only now the noise had doubled and then they look at us. Both of our stomachs were growling as we were becoming hungry.

It was then that Lucas said, �Why don�t you stay for a while and I will make you something to eat.�

It was then that Lucas went over to the refrigerator and saw that he had only enough food for him and Cybersix. So then Lucas gave a wry chuckle and said, �Listen I will be gone for a while, I am going to get something for all of us to eat.�

During that time as we all waited for Lucas in an awkward silence, expect for our stomachs, which growled from time to time, also during that time, my Sis went out of the window and went on the roof above Lucas�s apartment. It was then that my Sis looked about for awhile and after a few minutes, she then came back in. I knew what my Sis was doing, looking out for any Fixed Ideas. I knew that everything was going to be Ok, knowing that there were no Fixed Ideas nearby, when my Sis came back in.

It was between half an hour and an hour that Lucas had come back and he had in his hands full with four boxes of the Extra-Large Sized Pizza and fair amount of pasta with a meat sauce. So Lucas opened the boxes and each of them had a different topping. Lucas didn�t knowing what we would like. But because we were so hungry we ate from all four of them, taking a quarter of the pizza from each of the pizza.

After we had finished eating the pizza and also we took some of the pasta as well to our place that we were staying. We started to leave, Lucas said, �Here, it is not much, but it should do you for a while.�

I turned around and saw that Lucas had some money. It was then that I said, �I can�t take your money, besides we can manage on our own.� But Lucas insisted that we take the money, so we did. It was then that I had to figure out where to put the money and in the end, I put the money near the top of my outfit.

After we had left, Lucas said, �Things are really going to get interesting around here.� And Cybersix agreed.

It was then that Lucas phoned Mr. Yashimoto and told him what had happened and that they would like to see Mr. Yashimoto and that they would be meeting him outside the school after work. So Lucas told Mr. Yashimoto where he worked and when and where they would meet.

As we were going back to our home, jumping from roof tops to roof tops, my Sis said, [�You didn�t tell them about it.�]

I answered, [�We don�t know if it will work on us, so I thought it is best to find out if it does works out and then eventually we tell Cybersix, especially after she is feeling better.�]

We both woke up and had our breakfast at our home, a small loaf or big bun lightly covered with butter and jam, a glass of milk and some fruit.

It was then that we went over to the equipment that we have set up from the salvaged parts that we could find from the wreckage and also stuff we found here and in the City of Meridiana. It was then that I said, �Ok, Sis, set me up.�

It was then that my Sis nodded. It was then that I took a �Vial of Sustenance� and drank it. Then my Sis gave me an injection of the �Sustenance� in my arm, using an injection gun. I gasp in pain as the fluid course through my body and then I felt a bit dizzy, but it soon passed as soon as the injection of the fluid was done. Finally before I was fully set up, my Sis paralyzed my voice and then she help me get into a tank. Were I was almost totally naked, except for a couple of things that covered me appropriately and then she put an oxygen mask and turned on the valve to the oxygen tank and put some electrodes on me, mostly on my arms, legs and torso and then closed the lid, making sure that it was completely sealed up. It was then that my Sis then filled it up the tank fully up with �Sustenance�. It was then that my Sis turned the controls on the machine and started up the process. As the treatment went on, I screamed, as the electricity had coursed through my body. I was glad for that my Sis paralyzed my voice, the scream would have been deafening because of the pain that I had to endure.

When it was over and I got out, after I was able to stand, I then drank another �Vial of Sustenance� and my Sis saw something happening to me, laughed a bit, clapped her hands a few times in joy and gleefully said, [�It worked, it worked. You are finally cured. After you have rested for awhile, you can do me.�]

I nodded and after I had rested for a moment or two then I did the same thing to my Sis, being somewhat grateful that my Sis couldn�t talk, as she screamed silently as I did the treatment to her. It was finally over, we had found out a way so that we don�t need �Sustenance� anymore and now we could cure Cybersix of that need as well.

It was then that be both got dressed and did our things so that we didn�t have to wait to see Lucas.

As Jose was waking up, he could hear, off in the distance, the sound of construction being done, mostly in the basement, but some of it was being done in other parts of the mansion as well. So he went over to the basement and saw that the area was starting to look like the old lab. Jose had noticed that the floor of the basement had been lowered to accommodate the tanks and the other things that would soon inhabit this place. It was then that Dr. Von Reichter had noticed that Jose had entered and he said, �Ah, Jose, I see that you are awake. Sleep well. Once I have this place fully converted while I will be staying here. Also there will be cameras placed in certain areas so that I can see what is going on and be able talk to you or anyone anywhere in this place. Don�t worry I won�t be putting some cameras in certain areas, so that you will have some privacy. Also I am adding a few new improvements and additions to this place.�

Jose was somewhat impressed at the speed at which the basement had been converted. It was then that Jose found out that Dr. Von Reichter had set up a shift work so that the basement and the rest of the place could be completed in a day or so using his newly created Fixed Ideas and the other Fixed Ideas as well. The Fixed Ideas worked either a 4 or 6 hour shift with a ratio of 6 Fixed Ideas to 1 Techno, each team of Fixed Ideas doing a specific task at hand and the Techno made sure that everything was going the right way.

As we got dressed for what we were going to do, our day started was more or less like this, after we got up and dressed in something other than our costumes and had breakfast, we went over to one of the condemned buildings and we look to see if there was anything that we could use, books, clothing, etc. Afterwards we would do our own things after we had dropped off the things that we had found to one of three places. If it was a dead body, we took it over to the morgue. The thing is it was hard for us to take the body to the morgue, especially if it was a child. It wasn�t the dead body disturbed us, what disturbed us, was the fact that another life was senselessly taken in order to destroy one person. If it was something valuable, like heirloom jewelry or such, we would leave it at the Police Station and hopefully they find its owner or family relative of that owner. It was something else we would eventually sell it to one of the several Pawn Shops around. So when it was time I went over to see Lucas at his school.

I got there just a few minutes before the last bell was ringing off, so I hid myself until everyone had left and then I waited for Lucas to show up.

I didn�t have to wait too long as I saw Lucas was the last person coming out of the school. The thing was that Lucas didn�t recognize me as he had passed me twice as I stood near one of the Lion Statues. So I said, �Hi, Lucas Amato.� When Lucas heard me, and then looked around for me and then finally saw me, Lucas still didn�t quite recognized me, so I stared right at Lucas in the face and said, [�Maybe this will refresh your memory.�]

Lucas gasped as I talked to him. As he looked at me, he saw that I was wearing a long dress with sandals. He looked at me again trying to figure out what made me look so different, it was then that we heard the bike bell being rung. Lucas and I turned around and we both saw Mr. Yashimoto.

When Mr. Yashimoto looked at me, from the look on his face I probably fitted the description somewhat, to what Lucas had described to him, it was then that Mr. Yashimoto said �So from what you described to me, she does fit the description, but wasn�t it this one suppose to have silver hair.�

Lucas didn�t know what to say, so I said, �Normally I do, but I had found out that I can do something.� It was then that I stood behind one of the Lion Statues and Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto followed me and in a instance my hair color changed from a reddish-brown to a blonde color, similar color to Lucas and then I changed that hair color to black and then back to the reddish-brown color. The only thing that didn�t change was the red streak that I had. It was then that I explained how I found out how I could change my hair color and that was useful as nobody would recognize me if I was wandering the street. So when I found out about it, I decided to let my hair be a reddish-brown color as it somewhat hid my red streak in my hair. I also told them that I could only do it and not my Sis.

It was then Lucas took something and handed to me and he said, �Here is some more money and I insist that you take it. Some of the money is mine and some of it is Adrian�s or should I say Cybersix�s.�

It was then that Mr. Yashimoto, seeing that Lucas was giving some money, looked for what he had and also handed me some money and he too insisted that I take it.

It was then that we all heard a sharp whistle and then a small sack came down. It jingled as it landed in my hands. It was then that we all looked up and saw that my Sis was on top of one of the Lion Statues.

So I looked into the small sack and saw that it had a fair amount of money and put that also in my bag. Then I said �I can see that you had a good day, Sis, besides how long as you been there.�

So my Sis got down from that statue in one leap and she said, [�Yes, I did. A lot longer than you had been, about 15 to 20 minutes before you did. Don�t worry no one saw me while I waited.�]

Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto looked at her and saw that she was wearing boys clothing and an English-style cap which she hid her red streak underneath it and was carrying a paper umbrella and a bag that contained something. It was then that I said, �The reason is that if we are seen together, especially if any Fixed Ideas and/or Technos were around, we don�t look so conspicuous or suspicious. Also that�s when we found out about Cybersix other persona, Adrian, we thought that my Sis would be better if she was dressed like and looked like a boy. Besides it is easier for my Sis to look like a boy then it is for me. The reason is that, as you can see is that, I had an almost feminine angelic quality to me and that was a bit hard for us to disguise. Why don�t you show what you do to get us some money, Sis?�

My Sis nodded. It was then that we found a secluded area and dropped the umbrella and took three balls out of the bag and started to juggle them and then with her foot got two more and also juggled them as well with her hands. Then my Sis took out a larger ball and placed the other balls back properly into the bag and then with the larger ball, kicked it with her knees and her head. After that she had pick up the umbrella and thrown the ball and let it land on the opened umbrella and started to spin the ball on the umbrella. Then she had finished off by throwing the both the ball and umbrella into the air and caught them both. Both Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto clapped their hands at her performance.

It was then that I said, �That what my Sis does to earn some money and that she done that that in the morning after the second day after the explosion when a ball had bounced towards her and that a young girl was trying to catch it when my Sis had caught and played with it for a while, bouncing it off her head, kicking it with his knees and all sorts of other tricks and then handed the ball back. It was that the lady handed her some money and that�s when with the money that she got, we went to buy a ball, the large one that you have seen, and started doing some tricks. Later on some other people had given her some money as others things as well, some smaller balls and that umbrella.�

It was them that Mr. Yashimoto asked, �In the letter that you gave Lucas. How�d did find out what I had said, and since I am guessing, that you had left since Dataseven had chased you away.�

I answered �No Mr. Yashimoto. You are right; we were not in the area when you had said that. But we do have a way of knowing what everyone had said and done and the one thing is that you will never find it.�

Then Mr. Yashimoto asked, �You didn�t tell something about your Sis. It is in particular about her �Pressure Point Technique�. How long can it affect a person?�

I answered, �The �Pressure Point Technique� my Sis can do can shortest time that it can last is between half an hour to an hour and the longest is almost indefinitely or so we have been told. And as you know Lucas my Sis can delay the reaction so that up to after an hour or two before the person is affected and then paralyzed or anything else for that matter. Like not being able to speak or such.�

Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto were both amazed at what I had said. It was then that my Sis nodded her head in agreement. Then Lucas asked, �So if the delayed effect is only up to 2 hours long. That would mean that what affected the Fixed Ideas would have been at least 10 or 12 hours when they woke up that morning. They should have not been affected with what you did.�

Then my Sis answered, [�What I did was a �Cascade Effect�. Since they were already going to be paralyzed or were paralyzed, the effect of the nerves firing off would have not worked not until the paralysis wore off.�]

We looked at their puzzled and confused expression and we both laughed a bit and then she said, [�Actually the City of Meridiana is built right over it. There is a small place with a few rooms hidden quite a distance below the city. We were trying to find a place to stay in the sewer or the subway. When we found something and it led us to this hidden place. After we had checked it out, and saw that we liked it, we decided to make it our home. So that is where we are staying. The clothing and other stuff we have found or bought is there as well. Although we don�t take everything that we find. If it is something really valuable we take it to the Police Station and if it is a� body� we take it to the morgue. That is how we found a book on Sign Language. Anything else that we can�t use we sell it off at a Pawn Shop or my Sis does. We also know that there are a few ways of enter our home, so if one way is blocked we can use another one.�]

It was then that we talked some more about some more stuff and as we were going I asked, �If it is Ok with you, Lucas, how about we help Cybersix in the tomorrow afternoon and for the next few days.�

It was then after Lucas got into his apartment, he started to look for something. As Cybersix was regaining her health and strength, she slowly got out the bed and looked at what Lucas was doing and asked, �Lucas what are you doing.�

Lucas replied, �Not that kind of bug, what I am looking for is a listening device, one of those tiny transmitters so other people can listen into at a distance.�

As Lucas was looking around everywhere, a couple of times he thought that he saw something, only when he looked again he didn�t find it. So after looking for quite some time Lucas give up and said, �Boy, were they right I couldn�t find anything that would give an indication if they were using something to listening to our conversion. Oh, I almost forgot those two are coming over tomorrow to help you.�

When we had found out what Lucas had said, the both of us laughed as to what he had said to Cybersix about not finding what we were using to listen to their conversation.

We had made to Lucas apartment and went though the living room window, so when I opened the bedroom door, we saw that Cybersix was still in bed, although she wasn�t sleeping, she was reading a book.

Cybersix gasped and turned around and I said, Sorry I didn�t mean to scare you. I will knock on the door next time.�

It was then that Cybersix looked at me and saw that I was wearing some dark pants and a white top and I was carrying a fair sized shoulder bag. The one thing that was the same was that my hair color was silver instead of the reddish brown or any other hair colors that I could do when Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto had seen me from yesterday. It was then that my Sis came in and Cybersix saw that my Sis was wearing, she looked like a boy. The one thing is that outfit didn�t make her look like Jose, the reason, I believe, is because of the hat she was wearing, and she hid the red streak in her hair underneath it. The hat that she was wearing was an English-style cap and it suited her beautifully liked it did when Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto saw her as well with it.

It was then that I handed the shoulder bag to my Sis and I looked at Cybersix and then my Sis and said to my Sis, �Why don�t you get a bath ready making sure that the temperature is correct and then we will give Cybersix a proper bath and don�t forget about the bath oil as well.�

My Sis nodded and went over to the bathroom. After I had taken off the bandages and saw that the ointment was doing its job so I carried Cybersix to the tub, the reason I picked up Cybersix was that she was still weak, despite that Cybersix had taken another �Vial of Sustenance� earlier that day. (I saw an empty vial on the floor as I had entered the bedroom.) Cybersix had cringed as I was about to put her in the tub. Only I said, �You don�t need to worry, my Sis has put in oil that is like the ointment and it will not hurt you, but help you with your cuts.�

It was then that that my Sis had shown the small empty vial that she had put the oil in. It was then that I put Cybersix into the tub finding that the temperature was just right and then it was then that my Sis did something, it startled Cybersix for a bit and then she knew what my Sis was doing, washing her hair. As my Sis washed Cybersix hair, after she got the shampoo out of the bag. I could see how Cybersix would look like Adrian, as my Sis washed her hair and the front part of it flopped up, after we had given Cybersix her bath. I first washed her back and then most of everything else after my Sis had finished washing her hair.

During all this time Dataseven watched us from time to time to make sure we were not doing anything to hurt Cybersix. Also Cybersix like how the oil had scented the bath and that was making her relaxed as we had washed her. The think the reason Dataseven was watching over us because my Sis looked somewhat like Jose and still was unsure of what we were going to do.

It was after we had given Cybersix her bath and we have gotten Cybersix back to the bed, after we had got Cybersix dried off, it was then that my Sis touched a few points on her body, put some lotion on her hands and on Cybersix�s body and then she gave Cybersix a full body massage, well almost a full body massage. The lotion was made by me and it had similar properties to the ointment, in that the lotion would help the cuts that Cybersix had, that I had given to her, although it contain some other things in as well making it ideal for a massage, the one thing was that I couldn�t do anything for the smell as one of the ingredients was an extract made from a plant called Wintergreen. But soon the smell went away as the lotion got absorbed into the skin. It took some time for my Sis to take care of Cybersix�s muscle as there were in some places were extremely stiff because as most of the time Cybersix had been asleep and that the only exercise that she got was Lucas walking her around the apartment and giving her a sponge bath as best as Lucas could have given. The one thing is that Cybersix didn�t need was those painkillers that I had made, as the cause of her sore shoulder had been taken of.

As my Sis was giving Cybersix her a massage, I took the bag and went over to the kitchen and first looked in the fridge and got a few things out and got the rest of the food from the bag and started to prepare a meal.

After my Sis had finished her massage, I went over to Cybersix and brought the meal I had cooked and then brought our meal as well.

As we were eating looked at me and Cybersix asked, �You had made all the things that you have given me.�

I answered, �Yes, plus a few other things as well. Although we had escaped, we didn�t escape without any injuries, although not as bad as you, we did receive some minor cuts and scratches. So once we had found our place, I decided to see what could be used so that we could treat those cut and scratches and from there I went on to make many others things.�

It was then that my Sis showed Cybersix some exercises that could be done while either in bed or sitting in order to keep her body from becoming too stiff and most of them were stretching exercises. During that time I told Cybersix that we had found a couple book on the things that my Sis had did or showed to her. Cybersix was impressed at how much my Sis had learned from those books, but then I reminded her that my Sis could have the same or close to the same IQ that Jose has and that Jose is as similar intelligent as his Father. The thing is that I probably have the same intellect as my Sis, as I had figured out things rather quick as well. So we did a few more things until Lucas came back from his job at school.

Jose had entered the new lab and saw it was finished and saw a big monitor on one side, a lot of tanks, which were mostly empty of creatures and/or �Sustenance� and a door that led to somewhere. Later on Jose found out that the door led to Dr. Von Reichter�s living quarters, complete with all the things that were needed. It was then that Jose got a real good look at the two new Technos and saw that they were female, although they somewhat looked like one of the male Technos; Jose only knew that Dr. Von Reichter, his Father, only made most of the Technos male or the only ones that Jose saw. The one thing that was about these Technos that they weren�t beautiful, but in a way they were cute, if they were walking in the streets of Meridiana most of the people wouldn�t has noticed them.

It was then that Jose felt something got jabbed in his arm and then he saw the one of the Techno giving him a needle. The next thing that Jose felt was very sleepy and soon fell into the arms of the other Techno.

The next thing that Jose when he awoke was that he noticed that he was in one of the tanks and that his arms, legs, and body was strapped down, as Jose tried to get out of his restraints, only to have them not loosen, but tighten as he had struggled. Only after a while that he noticed that there was something on his head and that one of the Techno brought what look like a pair of goggles down in front of eyes, actually on top of his eyes.

As Dr. Von Reichter was about to do something one of the Technos lifted the goggles off Jose and put some ointment in Jose�s eyes and put the goggles down again, and made sure that everything was alright and then gave the signal for the go ahead.

It was after the ointment placed on Jose�s eyes that Jose realized why they had placed the ointment in this eyes. Jose couldn�t close his eyes. It was then that the goggles went totally black and Jose couldn�t see anything, Jose could still hear anything, but there wasn�t anything to hear, so the silence was the only thing that greeted him.

After what seemed like a long time, Jose was then surprised at the flashes of images that bombarded his eyes coupled with something entering his mind.

What seemed like forever, it was done and Jose thought that he would be release from whatever had happened. Only to be left strapped in the contraption. It was then that one of the Technos took off the helmet and gave Jose something to drink and wiped his face. It was then that Jose as he looked around, he saw how long what his Father had done to him, and it took 15 minutes long. It was after Jose finished off the drink, that the helmet was placed on again and Jose waited. Jose had to wait for three-quarters of an hour before it happened and that�s what happened for the better of the day.

It was after the third or fourth session that Jose noticed something that his hands and in particular his fingers were doing something. Jose didn�t know what, but he hoped that it would end soon.

Jose was desperate as he tried to find someway out of what had happened to him yesterday, only thing that he could do was to wake up early and leave the mansion and to go the city. Only Dr. Von Reichter had planned for something like that and a Fixed Idea was carrying Jose into the lab and then dropped him on the floor.

It was then that Jose whimpered a bit and said, �No more, please I don�t want to be punished again.� Dr. Von Reichter laughed up roaringly, did something on the computer and then the monitor flashed a picture of the two of us and said, �Jose, my child, I am not punishing you, I am doing something to you. Remember what I told you about these two and in particular this one.� It was then that he pointed to my Sis.

Jose answered, �Yes, you had said that one there can do a �Pressure Point Technique� and can do all sort of things, like paralyze people. So what does that have to do with me?�

Dr. Von Reichter replied, �I am teaching you what she can do, so that you can counteract whatever she does in the future and since I don�t have the luxury of time as I did have with her, I have to speed up the process with you. So that is why I am doing that with you. In a few more days you will know everything that she will know. Also I will be giving you something after your treatments is over.�

Jose reluctantly went over to one of the Technos, because the treatments were rather painful, but before she could Jose an injection, Dr. Von Reichter said, �Oh, one more I have given those two their names.� It was then that Dr. Von Reichter told Jose our names and Jose chuckled at them.

I knocked on the bedroom door to announce that we were there and we had done a few other things to help Cybersix.

It was during our meal that Cybersix had noticed the money that we had and saw how much grocery we had and then Cybersix asked, �How can you get so much food for so little.�

I answered, �I learnt to haggle so that I get the best price for the food. I had to, not knowing how much money we were going to get with my Sis doing tricks with those umbrella and balls and me selling things that we had found time to time.�

It was after we had finished your meal that Cybersix looked at me and said, �You are a good cook, you should make something for Lucas tonight, he would probably like and eat whatever you make.�

Then I interjected, �But I would have to make a fair amount as Lucas does have a big appetite.�

It was as we were leaving that my Sis was on top of the roof looking out and then I greeted and she said, [�So far no Fixed Ideas, so we are safe for now.�]

My Sis had something that she could tell if there were any Fixed Ideas around, even without seeing them and so far nothing, so I said, so to keep our conversion to ourselves [�Maybe the cure that we did, maybe it got rid of that.�]

My Sis nodded and said, [�Then I would have not noticed a Techno a couple days ago as he was walking up the street. I sensed him before I saw him. Luckily I hid before he saw me.�]

So that blew that theory to pieces as to where all the Fixed Ideas were. So something was going on, so all we had to do was to wait and see what was going to happen and after I thought for a moment or two, we left to get to our home.

As Jose got ready as the next treatment was about to happen, just before he had got the treatment one of the Technos put some more ointment in his eyes to moisten them and put the helmet back on again and got the goggles down again. It was then that Dr. Von Reichter said, �This is the last treatment that you are ever going to have. Aren�t so glad that this is over?�

Jose did his best to acknowledge that he was glad it was over as the helmet had restricted his head movement and his hands were tied down.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter what had done before and Jose endured as the treatment went on. The thing is that didn�t know how long he was going through this treatment. As it went on at times Jose would either groan as it went on or he would scream as some points it got very painful as the pictures and the electrical current course through him.

When it was over Jose saw that this treatment was a lot longer and he saw that it this last session took an half an hour to do. When Jose was released from his restraints, Jose slumped down as his feet touched down on the floor. When Jose could finally stand up, Dr. Von Reichter gave a nod and Jose went over to one of the female Technos, did something to around her throat area and then did something to her different points to her body and then went over to the other Techno and touched a few points on her back. The two female Technos wondered what had happened, it was then that the first one that Jose had touched silently screamed as all the nerves in her body went off, the reason is that Jose had paralyzed her voice so that no one would hear her scream as her nerves went off, the other one fell as she found out that she couldn�t move.

Jose giggled as the two female Technos went through what he had done. Dr. Von Reichter and Jose had planned this all along, as those two Technos were almost always by Dr. Von Reichter side. After a few minutes Jose had reversed what he had did, seeing that keeping in the state that they were in for an hour would be too long for them.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter said, �Jose I got something for you.� It was then that Dr. Von Reichter handed Jose something and then Dr. Von Reichter told what it was.

As Jose then went on to plan on something and Jose told the some Fixed Ideas and Technos want to do.

It was a few days since we had helped Cybersix and now Cybersix was healthy enough that for us to tell her something.

It was after a Julian had finished visiting Cybersix that we decided to tell Cybersix about it.

Over that past few days as we�d stayed at Lucas�s apartment when Lucas had came back we stayed for a bit and when Julian came to visit we went on the rooftop until Julian had left and today was no exception, although Julian did noticed at that his stays with Cybersix were getting a bit longer and longer.

As we waited outside and saw how happy Julian was to see that Cybersix was getting better, so Julian asked, �How is it that in the past few days you have been getting better and better.�

Cybersix laughed a bit and said, �I got a 2 Guardian Angels looking over and helping me. So in the next few days or so I will visit you instead. Ok.�

It was after Julian had left that we had came in back through the window, we both chuckled a bit and I said, �Your Guardian Angels have something for you. How would you like to be free of the need of �Sustenance�? We can make it happen.�

When Lucas heard what we had said he almost dropped the plate that he had in his hands.

Cybersix was also astonished at what I had said that she couldn�t say anything for a moment or two. After Cybersix finally understood what I had said, she asked, �Did I hear you say that you can help me be rid of the need of �Sustenance�.�

We both nodded and I said, �Yes, we can help. We have been free of it since the day after we had seen you.�

It was then that Cybersix asked, �How did you figured out how to be free of it.�

I answered, �Mostly by trial and error, but having some of Dr. Von Reichter old notes helped as well. It took some time to figure what to do, but in the end we had figured it out.�

Lucas somewhat figuring out what �Sustenance� is from the note and the formula that I had given him, he asked, �You didn�t do it to yourself in order to cure yourself, did you.�

I answered, �No, we used other things to figure that out, because if we did that we wouldn�t be talking to you. So Cybersix, what do you think about it. Do you want the cure? No strings attached, not like what Dr. Von Reichter had given you.�

When I said that, and Dataseven heard that, he felt a bit uneasy and I could see and feel his tension, so I said, �Listen, the decision is up to you. I am not forcing you into it, but this offer as no time limit so if you want we can do anytime you want.�

Cybersix stilled had the shocked look, but just a moment her expression started to change it went from shock to joy as her face started to lit up and her eyes become softer and then she said, �Yes, Yes, Yes. I would like that.� Cybersix lip trembled a bit and then she said, �How soon can you do it.�

I answered, �As soon as you get there. The place that we are staying is unique. It is right under Meridiana. So it will not be long once we get there. And the sooner we get there the sooner you can get cured.�

I could see that tears were welling up in her eyes for joy and it was then my Sis came in from the roof and said, [�It is all clear, no Fixed Ideas around, we can go.�]

My Sis saw the look on Cybersix face and said [�Sorry, I guess we have to tell a few more things about us.�]

I nodded and then my Sis said, [�I am sorry about that, it seems that I can tell where Fixed Ideas and Technos are, I had this as long as I can remember. It is more that I can sense them before I can see them. But then my Sis can do something else as well, so Sis, why don�t you show Cybersix what you can do.�]

I sighed and then I said, �Lucas and Mr. Yashimoto know about this, so I guess I would have to show you as well.�

Cybersix was surprised at what I had said and asked, �What do you mean about that you have to show me.�

I didn�t say anything, but what I did was to change my hair to my usual hair color from its silver color to blonde and then to black, then to a med brown and then to a reddish-brown and then back to my usual hair color. Then I said, �I had found out that I can change my hair color to any natural hair color that I want. When I am out on the streets of Meridiana, it was then my Sis said, [�I wish that you hair color could be more like my hair, even a Reddish-Brown would be nice.�] It was then that my hair had changed its color, so I experimented around and saw that I could change my hair to any natural hair color I want, but I usually let my hair become a Reddish-Brown, so that no one would be suspicious. As not many people have Silvered colored hair around.�

It was then that Cybersix asked, �Do you have any other secrets that you haven�t told me about.�

Thought for a moment or two and I answered, �Just one or two more, which I can think of right now, but you to know about them you will have to wait until we get to our place.�

So the next thing that we did was to get out of out street clothes and into our costumes. (We changed in the bathroom for some privacy.) We had left our costumes at Lucas�s place as it would seemed unusual with us coming in our costumes and leaving with our street clothes, so we left them there. Lucas tried to get our costumes clean with water and a sponge, it looked pretty good as the water strains was mostly gone, other than a few streak here and there. And my Sis still had a missing part on her cape.

I sighed and then answered, �We got them from Dr. Von Reichter, as to who had made them for us, we don�t know. Although I think Dr. Von Reichter wanted us to replace you, if you didn�t join him.�

After a while Dataseven went in front of us and lightly growled at us, actually more at my Sis then at me. So my Sis went slowly over to him as Dataseven continued to growl and she said, [�I�m so sorry, but listen Dataseven, Once I knew who I�d was going look like, I didn�t want to look like him, but I will always almost look like Jose, but thing is that I am the opposite of what Jose is, personality and physically wise. I am the one who had stopped those Fixed Ideas from getting Cybersix and I was the one who brought in the box of items personally. So as was written in that letter, either of us could have done anything to Cybersix or you, especially me and what I can do. So will you trust me or not.�]

Jose heard something ringing or buzzing, wondered what it was for a moment and then realized what it was, found it and then said, �What. You found them. Where? I am on my way. Don�t lose sight of them, Ok. Good.�

It was then that he called several of the Fixed Ideas and gave them some orders. Jose then picked up his gift from his Father and then went on his way.

We were still waiting for any kind of response, other than the stare that Dataseven was giving my Sis. Then it happened Dataseven came closer to my Sis and then gave a growf and then went back to the staring. The tension in the air was even getting to me and Cybersix as we waited to whatever to happen and then it did happen. Then Dataseven got stood in front to my Sis and then gave the biggest roar that he could give and my Sis did nothing other than panting not knowing what Dataseven was going to do. My Sis did nothing all though this ordeal, so afterwards Dataseven looked at my Sis again went up to her, snuggled up to her and purred. It was then that Dataseven came over to me and also snuggled up to me and purred.

It was after what had happened, Cybersix asked, �So where is this place of yours.�

I answered, �One of the entrances to it is not too far from here. So if we can get going, we will be there shortly.�

As we were going to our home my Sis stopped in front of us and said, [�I can sense that there are many Fixed Ideas, some not to far away. They are moving around too much to find out how many there are, but I know were a few are. I will lead them away from us and meet with you at home.�]

It was shortly afterwards that I too felt something and then I picked up the pace. The thing was that I wasn�t a paying attention to what and where I was going on and when I did, Cybersix, Dataseven and I were surrounded by several Fixed Ideas in a blocked alleyway and although there no sign of Jose or Dr. Von Reichter and I thought it was safe as I saw that the only way out, was up. So I jumped up after Cybersix and Dataseven had jumped. It was then that I saw Jose and Cybersix and Dataseven lying on the roof top, as I was the last to get up to the roof top, because I want to make sure that we were not being followed by those Fixed Ideas. So as I was about to fight one of the several Fixed Ideas on the roof top as one of them tried to hit me, the next thing that I had felt a surge of electrical energy go through me and then everything was starting to go black, as I was slipping into unconscious, I heard Jose say, �Once we get them down from here, load them up in the truck with the other and then we will take them to Father.� After that I had passed out.

Cybersix had awakened in one of the many rooms in the mansion and saw that only one Fixed Idea was guarding her. So she thought that she could easily overpower him and escape, but when she tried to move, Cybersix found out that she couldn�t move. Not know what was going on, Cybersix tried to find out what was going on and then she saw Jose looking at her, then she heard a voice from somewhere and realized that it was from Dr. Von Reichter and that it was coming from a speaker that was just below a camera.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter said through a speaker, �Ah, Cybersix, I see that you are awake. As to why you can�t move, I did something to Jose and now Jose posses the same �Pressure Point Technique� as the smaller one of the two. Now Fixed Idea I just want you rough up Cybersix a bit and then hang up until our guest had made their decision. Oh, Cybersix, I have given those two their names.� It was then that Dr. Von Reichter told our names.

Jose hemmed and hawed for a bit and twiddled his fingers for a moment or two and then answered, �Dataseven had escaped on the way here and we don�t know where he is. It seemed that Dataseven wasn�t much affected as the other had been.�

Dr. Von Reichter groaned and then said, �Dataseven is probably not too far away from here as those two aren�t far from each other. So keep an eye out for him, now Jose let see our other guest.�

So as soon Jose left the room, the Fixed Idea went to Cybersix, lifted her up by her two hands using only one of his hands and then punched her a few time and then kicked her. After he was done he tied up Cybersix hands with a thin rope and then placed a hook in the middle of it and then pulled the chain up and let Cybersix dangle in the middle of the room with her feet a few inches off the floor.

When I awoke I found out that I was in the new lab that had been built and that I was being held in a smaller tank just big enough to hold me and only allowed me to stand up in it. So I looked around and saw that my Sis was also in the same thing as I was in.

So the next thing was about to do was to punch out the glass or whatever it was made of, when my Sis said, [�I wouldn�t do that, I tried to break whatever this thing is made of and so far no luck. Besides one of us isn�t captured, Dataseven is free and is not far from us and I think he will help us when the time is right.�]

So to keep our conversion to ourselves, I said [�At least we have some good news and once all of us are free, we will get back to our place. Once we can figure how to get out of this place.�]

Then my Sis replied, [�Shush. Give me a few minutes and I will know this place inside and out. I just have to find a nearby Fixed Idea or Techno and that shouldn�t take that long.]

That was something that my Sis could also do, was somehow put her mind into the head of a Fixed Idea or a Techno and see and hear what they were doing. The thing is that she was able to do it even when she was in suspended animation, some of the time. Because we are able connect with our minds, my Sis was able to share when she was taking one of these �walk�, as she called it, and we were able to sometimes see beyond the wall of the place that we were in and I knew that sooner or later we would escape from there. Only not the way as we would like it to happened, but none the less we had escaped and then tell Cybersix about my Sis other secret. The one thing that got me especially worried now was what was Dr. Von Reichter was going to carry out to us now as we had been captured.

I was broken out of my reverie when my Sis said, [�Sorry to interrupt you, but someone is coming our way. So we better do what we usually do. Another thing I am sorry I wasn�t able get all of the place figured out I need a few more minutes to get the complete layout of this place.�]

It was then that the door had opened and came in was Jose followed by Dr. Von Reichter and we both noticed that Dr. Von Reichter was having trouble with his left arm and leg and saw that he used a cane to walk and then by a Techno and the both of us recognized immediately that it was a female Techno and by the looks of it, it was a somewhat rush job.

It was then that Jose went over to my Sis and said, �So you are in a way my older sister.�

My Sis responded by trying to hit Jose, but the plate that separated her from Jose interfered and I chuckled a bit at it, knowing if my Sis had really hit him, my Sis would have hit him in the face.

It was then that another female Techno and entered in as well and I realized that more then likely Dr. Von Reichter had made this two more or less at the same time and then I said, �From the looks of it those two are your nurses, because of your injuries.�

Dr. Von Reichter responded, �You always have been very perspective. Haven�t you.�

Jose was surprised at what I said and then I replied, �Well, there is only one of two ways that I know of that could cause the way you are in. And by the looks of it you hadn�t suffered from a stroke. So some how you got injured in your or near your left arm and leg.�

Jose was even more surprised at what I had said and Dr. Von Reichter nodded to Jose and turned towards us and responded, �That is true, I had suffered an injury with my left shoulder and hip. I was a miracle that I had survived, but here I am.� It was then that he went on to explained how he had survived. It was similar to what we went through; only he had fallen in a different part of the cavern, because if had fallen together where we were, the both of us, Dr. Von Reichter and us would have seen each other and that only a couple of Fixed Ideas had survived as well. And it took some time for him to make those two female Technos and then a few more Fixed Ideas and Technos.

It was then that we noticed that Jose was carrying some sort of small rifle or gun. It was then that Dr. Von Reichter said, �I see that you can see that Jose is holding something, I call it an �Impulse Disruption Gun�. Nice little toy to have. This gun sends out an impulse that disrupts the electrical flow within the muscles of anybody and causes them to pass out, although I think that it can be painful when it hits someone.�

The only thing that I gave him was a slight nod, as it was painful when the impulse had hit me.

Then Dr. Von Reichter chucked a bit and said, �Oh if you are wondering I am given you two names. I think that you will like them.�

Dr. Von Reichter walked over to my Sis and said, �Your name is Zyber. It is a variant spelling on Cyber. Since she is like Cyber-series and the traits of the Cyber-series are in her.�

Dr. Von Reichter replied, �No just Zyber. She is going to be the only one and as for you name, it is going to be, �ngel de la Muerte.�

I had a feeling that Dr. Von Reichter knew some languages, German, because of where he came from, Latin, because of his profession and Spanish, because he had named his son with a Spanish-name. The thing is that I didn�t know what my name meant, because I didn�t know that much Spanish.

Dr. Von Reichter saw that I was trying to figure out what my name meant, but the only part that I could figure out was the �ngel part which more than likely meant Angel. So Dr. Von Reichter responded, �The translation of your name is �Angel of Death, but for the time being I am just going to call you Angel.�

Then I responded, �Until you do something to me that would be more appropriate for my name.�

All though this time I have also figured out that there were speakers and a mike in what we were in. So we could hear and be heard in this room.

It was then that I heard a thump and looked over to my Sis, no Zyber, and saw that something was happening to her. The thing is that I thought that the cure that we had given to ourselves had gotten rid of that. I was mistaken.

Then Dr. Von Reichter responded, �I see that the Impulse Disruption Gun has done something to you, Zyber. It must be getting very painful for you.�

Zyber gave no response other than silently crying in pain as a spasm went though her legs.

Dr. Von Reichter responded, �I thought that the two of you might try to escape, so what I did was that I made Zyber deficient with something in her and if she either doesn�t get something like this.� And he showed us a vial of something. And then he said, �Or �Sustenance�, she will go through some painful effects. The First Stage is where she gets small twitches and spasms, mostly in your arms and legs, especially in her hands and feet although they are not very painful, it can cause some pain, the Second Stage, which you are starting to go through, is very painful, as the spasms get stronger and longer, the Third Stage renders you in a semi-unconscious state and you don�t what to go into Stage Four as that very fatal to you.�

I thought that my heart couldn�t sink any further when I learnt what my name had meant, but it went even lower as I heard what Dr. Von Reichter had said.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter said, �So what will it be, join me and I will free the both of you of �Sustenance� and what I did to Zyber and give you something as well, Angel.�

I was sorely tempted to say �or what, we don�t join you.�, but then I heard Zyber give a two tone whistle.

Then Dr. Von Reichter responded, �So I see you have developed a whistle language so that you can communicate to each other. Or at least Zyber can communicate to you.�

Then I heard it again and then I said, �We will do it. What do we have to do?�

Dr. Von Reichter said, �Destroy Cybersix and then I will free you of �Sustenance� and of her need and make some improvements on you.�

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter put the vial into a slot in the pedestal and then it came up on the floor of our prison and then Zyber had drank the contents of the vial and I could see that the effects as her body was starting to have less and less spasms and then Dr. Von Reichter showed us where Cybersix was and what kind of condition she was in.

It was then that we both saw Cybersix and saw that that she was paralyzed and wondered how could that have happen. Then I asked, �Who did that to Cybersix.�

Dr. Von Reichter answered, �Jose did. I had done something to him and now he posses the same �Pressure Point Technique� as Zyber have. Why did I do that, is because he would be able to counteract whatever Zyber will do.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter looked at us and saw how much our outfits were somewhat dirty and mussed up and it was than that he noticed that there was a missing piece on Zyber�s cape and then he said, �This won�t do. Look at the both of you. What a mess you are. So, Zyber, how did you get that part missing from your cape?�

Dr. Von Reichter then remembered that Zyber couldn�t speak, replied, �Never mind, never mind, forget how it got torn, there are many ways that it could have gotten torn since you had been in Meridiana.�

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter turned to Jose and said, �I want you to take them to a room but before that make sure that these things are there.� And then Dr. Von Reichter written something on a piece of paper and then showed Jose a note with the list on it.

Jose replied, �Yes Father, I will make sure that everything is there.� And then Jose had left.

After a quite a while, actually after several minutes had passed, we heard Jose say through a speaker, �Everything is ready, for Angel and Cyber.�

I had giggled a bit as I heard Jose say Zyber name as Cyber. I later found out that he could only say Zyber name as Cyber.

It was then that we were both led to a room with two Fixed Ideas, one in front and one right behind us. They were there to make sure that we would not cause any trouble or escape.

When we entered the room we saw that there were two things in it, an almost large spread of assorted foods on a long moving cart, which was about between 2 and 3 feet wide and about 6 feet long, and replacement outfits for us were lying on the beds.

After Zyber had moved her replacement outfit, she had laid down on the bed on her stomach. So the best thing that I could do was to wait and see. So I sat down on the other bed and waited, as I knew what she was doing, getting into the head of the nearest Fixed Idea or Techno, other then guard that was at our front door as he wasn�t going any where soon.

Dr. Von Reichter watched, in awe and amazement, as he saw as Zyber just lay the on the bed, doing nothing at all, it was then that he thought that Zyber was just resting up, especially after what had happened to her. It was then that Jose had entered and watched as well at what we were doing. The surveillance room is in a different part of the mansion from the lab.

It was during that time that I saw another door that led to somewhere and noticed a camera in one of the corners on the roof in our room, so not wanting to do anything until Zyber had done something else from what she was doing. It was then that Zyber turned around and sat up and started to look around. It was then that we heard something, like something trying to get our attention, and then we realized that the camera had a speaker and more than likely a mike as well.

Dr. Von Reichter replied, �I just want to tell you that you can freshen up in the bathroom that is through that door. It has everything that you might need.�

So I looked at the door and the walked over to it and opened the door and saw all the things inside. So I nodded to Zyber and I went over to the bed and pick up the outfit and Zyber did the same as well and we both entered the bathroom.

Once we had entered, we had noticed that there was no camera in it, although it did have quite a few things in it, an impressive set of different oils, soaps, shampoos and other things. It also had several towels, face cloths, hand towels, and a hair dryer.

It was then that I went to the bathtub and turned the taps and let the tub fill up with water, making sure that the temperature was right. Zyber first got in and she started to wash herself as I washed her hair.

As I was washing Zyber�s hair, Zyber said [�There are cameras almost everywhere in this place. One thing is that Dataseven is nearby and he will help us, when the time is right and our secret weapon is here as well. You are probably wondering why I said do it, it would be a lot easier to get Cybersix out of here, if we had agreed then not to agree. Getting more of that stuff for me is going to be difficult, but not impossible. If everything goes as plan we should be out of here soon and getting me and Cybersix cured as well.�]

It was after I had washed Zyber�s hair and she got out, and drained the tub and then I had refilled the tub and had a bath as well. I loved the warmth of the water as I washed myself, the place were we were staying didn�t have any means of heating water, other then a small stove, so we didn�t bother, so we washed ourselves with the cold water that ran through our home.

As we had exited the bathroom we were both dresses in our new outfits and we had made sure that there wasn�t anything on them to track us and there wasn�t. So I had taken a brush out from the bathroom and started to brush Zyber�s hair. After I had finished brushing Zyber�s hair, I brushed my hair. It was then that I took some of the food from the cart and so did Zyber and then we had eaten our meal.

Jose watched as he saw me brushing Zyber�s hair and saw how quiet we were. Dr. Von Reichter saw what Jose was looking and said �Interesting those two, they would do this for as they are together and not say anything to each other, although Zyber can�t speak anyway, but Angel doesn�t talk to Zyber as long as well.�

As I was brushing Zyber�s hair, I said, [�If I got it right, in a minute or two that camera will go out, because of our secret weapon and then we �walk� with one of the Fixed Idea and then rescue Cybersix and then we all escape, after I get a few things as well.�]

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter saw that the camera in our room had mysteriously cut out, so Dr. Von Reichter sent Jose to see if everything was Ok.

It was then that I knocked on the door and had told the Fixed Idea that we were ready and this was after we had eaten some of the food from the cart as well. So when he came in he noticed that Zyber was rubbing her leg and he went in to look. It was then that Zyber deftly got behind him and pressed a several spot on his body.

It was then that I walked over to him and I said, �What Zyber did to you was, in a way made you paralyzed, and the only way that you can walk is that one of us is to give you a signal as to where you are going to walk and I am going to tell you the signals.�

It was then that I felt a tug and then saw Jose looking at us. Then Jose said �I had a feeling that I couldn�t trust you. So I am now going to reverse what you did Cyber and tell Father what you did. I wonder what kind of punishment he is going to give you.�

As Jose was trying to get to the Fixed Idea, Zyber had again used her speed and in no time Zyber had touched several spots on his body and Jose found out that he couldn�t move and speak.

Then I, half-jokingly, but mostly truthfully, said, �You have to watch your step with Zyber here. She can move very quick as you can see.�

The thing was that we didn�t notice that Jose did something and was able to do something.

As we were walking towards Cybersix, Dr. Von Reichter was wondering what was taking Jose so long and also wanted to see what was wrong with the camera, so he sent a Techno to find out what was the matter.

When the Techno finally got to Jose, he had noticed that Jose was unable to speak or move, but the Techno saw Jose was able to move his hands, more particular his fingers.

As the Techno came closer, he could see that Jose had held his hand in a peculiar fashion, Jose�s left hand, more so with his fingers was pointing towards his throat.

So the Techno started to lift Jose�s left hand, when Jose shook his head and then the Techno said, �You want me to help you with your right hand.�

When the Techno got Jose�s right hand to his throat, Jose touched a few spots and then shouted out, �Stop them. Stop Angel and Cyber. They are planning to escape with Cybersix.�

After Jose was able to speak and was trying to reverse what was done to him with minimal luck, the Techno went over to the camera and went to see what was wrong with the camera. As the Techno looked at the camera, he had noticed that the cable above the ceiling running towards the camera was severed as if something had cut them.

After the camera was repaired, Jose told his Father, Dr. Von Reichter, what had happened and then as we had figured that we were almost a two-thirds way to Cybersix, Dr. Von Reichter said, over the speaker, �Detain Angel and Zyber and make sure that they don�t get anywhere near Cybersix.�

It was then that a few more Fixed Ideas had come up and then I had punched my fist into the wall and a few chunks of the wall came out. It was then that I grabbed a few of them and thrown them at a few of the Fixed Ideas. It was then that I slipped into the shadows.

As a back-up plan, �Plan B�, was that I was to throw something at a few Fixed Ideas and then I would slip away. It was then that Zyber would provide the distraction as I got any and all necessary things that I needed. The thing was that we didn�t know at that time if Dr. Von Reichter was at the lab or not.

Jose had just entered the room, with the help of the Techno and he just saw what I had just done.

Jose was amazed at what I had done and asked, �How is Angel able to do that.�

Dr. Von Reichter answered, �That one of the other things that she can do. Angel is very accurate with throwing things, she could hit the very center of a target, with anything that I had given her to throw, her maximum distance is unknown at this point, although Angel can hit a target over fifty feet away. So I theorize that as long as Angel can see a target, she can hit it� Then Dr. Von Reichter told something else that I can do.

It was then that Dr. Von Reichter noticed that Jose was having some trouble trying to reverse what had happened to him and then Dr. Von Reichter asked, �Did Angel say anything to you before they had left.�

Jose replied, �Yes, Angel said, I have to watch my step with Cyber here. She can move very quick as you can see.�

Dr. Von Reichter then gave a slight groan under his breath and then he said, �Forget it, Jose, forget it�, let what happen to pass, what Zyber did was something we had both developed, it is called a �Step Process�. To counteract it, you have to do what she had done, but in reverse and since you didn�t do that, you have to wait until its effects wear off and I know Zyber and knowing her, you could be like that for who knows how long.� Then Dr. Von Reichter that told Jose what had happened to the Fixed Ideas when they had tried to capture Cybersix was a �Cascade Effect�, where one effect on top of the other and when one was finished, the other would take effect and Zyber can do so far 4 effects one on top of each other. Also Dr. Von Reichter told Jose that why she did it to tell him, that they were both alive. The one thing that Dr. Von Reichter didn�t tell Jose is that there is a slight difference between Jose and Zyber.

After I had thrown the chucks of the wall and hitting all of them, knocking down a few of the Fixed Ideas, Zyber went on to her part of the plan and started to run toward them. One tried to grab her only she had ducked between his legs and then touch him in a few places on his back. Another one tied to grab her and then Zyber had grab the Fixed Idea by his hand and tossed him and he landed on his fallen comrade. Then Zyber did something visibly as if she was daring the Fixed Ideas to catch her. So they gave chase. The one thing that they didn�t noticed is that I had slipped away and on was on my way to the lab. The one I�d had hoped is that Dr. Von Reichter wasn�t there as well.

As Zyber was being chased, she pretended to not know where she was going, but a few times she had almost had been caught, but she had to keep up this fa�ade up as I made my way to the lab.

Dr. Von Reichter and Jose had noticed that a few more of the cameras were also having troubles as well, so he didn�t know what was going on in some parts of the mansion, as to where and what I and Zyber were doing.

It was a few minutes then that I heard Zyber talked to me, [�It is Ok, Dr. Von Reichter isn�t in the lab. He is somewhere else. He has his two nurse maids with him and Jose is also with him. I am resting for a moment in the one of the ventilation shafts. So you can go to the lab and get anything and everything what you need. Oh I almost forgot, the cameras going to the lab have been disabled, so Dr. Von Reichter won�t know until hopefully it is too late. I will keep the others chasing me until you are ready and then we will go get Cybersix.�]

I gave a nod knowing at that moment that we where sharing out thoughts at that moment.

It was then that I proceeded to the lab, Zyber had traveled through the ventilation shafts and then came out and saw a few Fixed Ideas and Technos, then she gave a whistle and the chase was once more on.

It took me a while, but as soon as I found the lab, I entered the lab and so I looked about and around; I eventually saw something of worth, the remaining notes that were missing from us. As we had went down in the cavern a few other things came down as well, some of it was a few pages of Dr. Von Reichter�s old notes and few other things as well. So as I looked around at the tanks, I saw something, that not all of the tanks had something in it, not to many unborns, or �Sustenance�. What is a unborn, that you may ask about, a unborn is a creature that is not fully developed, or is fully developed, but still being submerged and immersed in �Sustenance�, only waiting to be released to follow Dr. Von Reichter�s orders, something that the both of us knew about until recently. The one thing was that I was looking for any more vials of that stuff to help Zyber not have those spasms. Then I found a few of them and then I saw the computer and I quickly and somewhat quietly started typing at the keyboard and found some more stuff that we needed. I made a copy on a CD-Rom and some hardcopies of the files and then saw that I was unable carry all the things carefully. So I looked around and say the perfect thing, took it and put the items inside. It was then that I said to Zyber, [�I think I got everything we needed. So now we should get ourselves and Cybersix out of here.�]

Zyber replied, [�Just give me a moment or two and I will catch up to you. I have several Fixed Ideas chasing me. So I think that I should do something about that. I will meet you up at where Cybersix is.�]

It was then that Zyber stopped, turned around, looked at the Fixed Idea and gave a certain type of smile, Dr. Von Reichter stared at Zyber doing at one of the remaining working cameras and immediately knew what she was going to do and said though the speakers, �Everyone who is near Zyber, get away from her, she is about to do something and there is nothing that you can do.�

It was then that Jose was about to asked, when Dr. Von Reichter responded, �What Zyber is going to do is a very simple, stopped all the Fixed Ideas and then somewhere she is going to meet up with Angel. The reason is that no matter what I put Zyber through, she always had a smile on her face or she would laughed or giggled at something. I know that that she can�t say anything, but you could tell that Zyber was either laughing or giggling at something. The smile that Zyber has most of the time would make most people not get anything but happy with her, although that smile that she has sickens and disgust me. It�s this smile that Zyber has right now is when she is very serious and there is nothing that can be done.� It was then that Dr. Von Reichter figured out what was going on and then said, �Jose I want you to go to this place and have a few things with you.� It was then Dr. Von Reichter told Jose what to do, Jose nodded and a Fixed Idea came over and that they went over to some place.

Dr. Von Reichter was right that Zyber was getting serious and in a short time all the Fixed Ideas that were in the area were all paralyzed and on Zyber was her way to where Cybersix was.

I was about to open the door as Zyber was coming towards me followed by two Fixed Ideas. So I decided to lend a hand, as I still had a few small chunks of the wall with me I threw them towards them as a distraction and then Zyber again paralyzed this set of Fixed Ideas.

It was then that I had opened the door and saw Cybersix and when Cybersix heard the door she gave out a moan and then she saw us and said, �Angel, Zyber want are you going to so to me.�

I gave Cybersix no answer, but the chunk of wall that I had I had thrown it and easily cut the chain that was holding her and Cybersix landed with a thump. It was then that Zyber was about to do something, when we all heard something, Dr. Von Reichter said through the speaker, �I don�t think that you are going anywhere.�

It was then that the floor that was beneath us had opened and we all fell to another room below. The room was one of the larger ones that we had seen, besides the lab and really must have taken some time to make and/or convert. It was then that Dr. Von Reichter said, �Release it.�

As to what he meant by it, we didn�t know, until a we had heard something coming through some doors and what came out was the tallest and largest Fixed Idea that we had every seen. It was then that Cybersix gasped at the Fixed Idea and then Dr. Von Reichter said, �Yes, Cybersix, he had survived as well. As for you two you�d had never seen him before and I will tell you if you can defeat him somehow I will let you out of this building. As you can see that the route to your freedom is right behind him. Oh, Fixed Idea, don�t do anything to Cybersix just yet as she is unable to fight you yet and won�t be able for some time, but you can do anything to Angel and Zyber as you pleased.�

I was able to get the hook off the rope, when this Fixed Idea just kicked me. To him it was probably a light tap, but what he did to me was enough to knock out the wind out of my lungs. Then Zyber tired to stop him only he had thrown her against the wall. As I was catching my breath, I heard Zyber give me a few whistles and then I threw a chunk at one of the two cameras that were in the room. As I was about to take the other one, Zyber gave me another set of whistles, and I had stopped.

Zyber then leapt and tried to hit it, only to have her thrown into a far wall, were several chunks of the wall had broken. So I also tried to fight this monster, only it seemed not noticed the hits.

So Zyber then tried to hit a pressure point on him and still no effect. So she tried something larger, her elbow, and got hardly any effect, besides getting thrown again.

It was then that Zyber got an idea and gave a few whistles to tell me to keep that thing occupied. I nodded.

It was then that Zyber went over and picked up a quite a few pieces of the broken wall.

As the Dr. Von Reichter looked on, they noticed that I was trying to hit somehow hurt this monster and so far so no luck, the thing is that Dr. Von Reichter didn�t noticed that Zyber was hitting this Fixed Idea with the chunks in the same spot for sometime. Then I did something I hit this Fixed Idea in the only spot that might hurt it. In the groin area, I went then kicked right there and he had doubled over and when Dr. Von Reichter saw what I had did, he winched as well. As he was finally able to stand up, Zyber did it and hit him on the spot where she had been hitting him and the Fixed Idea had then gave a large bellow as Zyber hit him. It was then that the Fixed Idea landed with a humongous crash that shook the room a bit, the only thing that Fixed Idea did was lay on the ground and occasionally gave a twitch or two afterwards every few minute or so.

As we were leaving the room to the outside, I picked up Cybersix and carry her. As we just got out, we say that we were surrounded by a few Fixed Ideas and Jose was pointing his gun at us. The Dr. Von Reichter said, �I said that I will let you out of this building not out of this area. So you have to get past them in order to get away.�

It was then that Dataseven had came and stood right next to us and growled at the others. It was then that I put Cybersix down so that I could fight them.

I knew it was too easy for us to escape, but we had thought of something. It was then that with the remaining chunks that I had I had thrown them past Jose, almost nicking him once or twice, who was being held up by a Fixed Idea�s shoulder. Jose looked at where I had thrown the chunks, laughed at me and said, �Ah, you missed me. And here I was told that you were very accurate in throwing things.�

Then I said, �I wasn�t aiming for you.� It was then that I thrown one more chunk of the wall and then Jose and the Fixed Idea that was holding him up, heard a cracking noise from behind them. As they turned around to see what was going on, then it happened, the large tree in which I had embedded quite a few chunks of the wall inside, until I had thrown the last one in, causing it to collapse and landing on Jose and the Fixed Idea. Then Zyber did her work and in a short time Dataseven, Zyber and I made short work of them. It was then that Zyber had taken the gun from Jose and then did some something to him and then we all had left, only to find out that we were being followed.

It was then that Zyber said, [�You go on ahead I will catch up and meet you there, I will get rid of the other.�]

As they were coming into view, they saw Zyber holding the gun towards them and fired a shot or two at the Fixed Ideas and then left. After a while Zyber open the gun and looked at it, did something to it and then left it right there. After a while one of the Technos found Jose�s gun and returned it to him.

As Zyber was getting back to our home something else came up to her cheek and she greeted it and then they went back to home.

When we got there Cybersix could see what our home looked like. It had the remains of a small house were only a few rooms were still intact. The roof of the place was missing, but Zyber and I didn�t mind as the temperature in here was almost always at a comfortable temperature, not to hot nor to cold, just right. You could almost see the two beds in one of the rooms of our place. And to the left of that there was a huge garden growing there. It had all sort of sorts of plant, most of the plants were herbs and such. In another area Cybersix saw that we had a few of tanks that we had made ourselves, although they were a bit smaller then the ones in Dr. Von Reichter�s lab.

Then I saw that Zyber was there as well and Cybersix see that as well and that she saw something snuggling up next to her. Cybersix and Dataseven couldn�t quite make it completely out but it look like it was something like a squirrel.

It was then that it immediately disappear from view as it saw both Cybersix and Dataseven were here with me, then I said, �Come on, Cybersix and Dataseven had somewhat seen you, so come on and greet her and Dataseven.�

It was then that we heard a chitterling sound he came out and showed himself to Cybersix and Dataseven. Both were surprised to see what had come up to them. The creature looked it was part cat and part squirrel. It has the bushy tail of a squirrel and the front portion of its body were that of a squirrel, were its head was mostly cat-like, except for his snout and teeth, as it was more squirrel like. The hind quarters were also cat-like as well. Dataseven looked at it, her didn�t know what to make of this strange creature, until the creature went over to Dataseven and went all over him and then hanged onto his underside for awhile and then got off Dataseven.

It was then that Zyber went over to Cybersix and reversed what Jose had done to her.

As I put down thing things that I had collected, it was then that I said, �Once you had rested up Cybersix, I can give you the cure and figured out how to cure that other problem as well. Oh Zyber, what did you do to Jose.�

Zyber answered, [�I did 3 �Cascades� on him. First I reset the paralysis on Jose, then after that is finished, all his nerves will fire off and then after that Jose won�t be able to walk very well, oh Jose will be able to walk, just not to good and that last step that I did will not go away until morning. So if Jose wants to recover soon, he better go to bed soon.�]

I at first giggled and then somewhat laughed at what Zyber had said, looked at Cybersix confused look, then realized that we hadn�t talk about everything about us and then I said, �What Zyber is talking about is that, Zyber can do two separate things, but unique things with her �Pressure Point Technique�, One, she can do what is called a �Cascade Effect�, when Zyber put one effect on top each other. Like when Zyber was fighting those Fixed Ideas that night they had almost caught you, what she did was a 2 �Cascade Effect�, the first one was to paralyze them first, either immediately or through a delayed reaction and then when the paralysis wore off, the second effect would take place, where those Fixed Ideas either if they were awake or not, even if they were asleep, they wouldn�t be afterwards, as all of their nerves in their body would fire off, causing a very painful effect, but then nobody else would be awake at their home, after they went though with that. So far we have found out that Zyber can do at least 5 �Cascade Effects� so far. The other one is called a �Step Process�, where the �Pressure Point Technique� is done in specific order to done and in order to reverse it, one had to do the exact same thing, but in reverse. So if Zyber does the �Step Process�, like touches somebody starting with their right arm, then the left arm, then the left leg and then finally the right leg, the order to reverse it would be right leg, left leg, left arm and then right arm. The other thing that Zyber can do is get into the mind of any Dr. Von Reichter creations. That is how we were able to find you, as Zyber took a �walk� with a most of the Fixed Ideas and Technos, to find out about the place.�

It was then that Cybersix started to look around and then saw a long rectangular wooden box, as she looked at it and was wanted to see if she could opened it and see what was inside, as she had it partially opened, I quickly went over to it and slammed my hand on the lid of the box, closing it with a bang and then I said, �I am sorry, but nobody is to open this box, it is something from my past and I want it to be kept that way.�

Cybersix wondered what Dr. Von Reichter did to Angel that she would want to keep whatever put away in a box.

It was then that I looked around and eventually I had found a lock and put the lock on the box and locked it. I sighed after I had placed the lock on the box and looked at Cybersix, knowing that Cybersix would not ask anything about it, I could tell just by the look in her eyes.

It was then that Cybersix looked at the small creature and Cybersix asked, �Is that one of Dr. Von Reichter creations.�

Cybersix was astonished at what I had said and asked, �Did you say one of your creations.�

It finally sank in and then Cybersix said, �There are more than one of those, where are the others.�

I took a deep breath in, gave a dejected sighed and then said, �He is that last one, the others that I had made, all died, but not in vain, I had to use the others to find out how to cure us of �Sustenance� and to find out how we would react to the myriad of different types of medicinal plants that are growing here. When I had created him and the others, and so I made them so that they were more or less like us, so we would know how we would react to any of the plants that are found here through them and to also find out how cure ourselves of �Sustenance�. Through some notes that we had found here, I have found out that we would react most of the plants as the humans would, although some of them we would have the opposite or undesirable effect on us, some of them are even toxic to us, but not too many.�

I went on how we had found those notes and had followed that notes of the previous tenant here, finding out that he was a botanist and later a became a physician and studied to see how plants could affect and heal people and that this place was once above ground and that something cause this place to collapse and leaving this place down here, the kind doctor, still continued to do his work and research, as time went on occasionally coming up to the town later known as Meridiana. And that later on he had made this garden that seemed to not need any kind of care, but when we found it this needed a little work. I then went on how I had created several different of my own creations using the Dr. Von Reichter notes that had fallen, although the majority of then were like the one that was playing with Dataseven.

I answered, �I never gave him or the others a designation, like Dr. von Reichter, like what he gave you Cybersix or Dataseven, although he and the other were something like the Data-Series, you know like Dataseven here. The name that we gave him is Sable. Oh and don�t let his size fool you, Sable can fight on his own, very well.�

It was then that Dataseven growled at bit and then shook his head for a bit and then fell onto the floor. Zyber went over to Dataseven and look at him.

As Zyber looked at Dataseven, seeing nothing wrong physically, no injuries or small open wounds or anything similar to that, it was then that Zyber more or less looked into his eyes. As Zyber intently looked into Dataseven, Cybersix was about to do something, only I stopped her and let Zyber do her thing.

After Dataseven had fallen, I immediately to see if anything was wrong with him and see that there were no outside causes for his problem. The best solution to find out what was going on was that I had to get into his head and see what had happened. So I intently looked into Dataseven eyes and I was in, but only at the surface. I knew what was on Dataseven�s mind, but that was it, so I had to get delve deeper into Dataseven�s mind to find out what was wrong with him. During this time I had somewhat saw Angel had stopped Cybersix getting closer to me, because during this critical time, if some had happen either of us could had suffered. So I slowly and cautiously went into Dataseven�s mind, but it was difficult, as whatever was causing his problem and the way he was being held, but slowly, but surely I got in and then I checked his memory to see what had happened and saw that nothing today had happened to cause these symptoms, so I went further back to see as to what his illness and then I saw it and I knew that Dataseven was in dire trouble and if nothing was going to be done Dataseven could die.

After a moment or two, Zyber looked at me and said, [�Oh, no. Oh, no. This is very bad. No. This is serious. This is very serious, Dataseven has a concussion and he had it for some time now. You know what to get and I will help on my end. Because Dataseven was more concerned about you, Dataseven, ignored what was happened to him. If Dataseven had just rested for a few days, he would be ok, but taken those late night jaunts and helping you get away from those Fixed Ideas, hadn�t helped, so I am going to do something, that would help Dataseven and so is Angel.�]

It was then that I got one of the mixtures that I had made and Zyber started to touch a few spots on Dataseven. Then I gave Zyber the mixture. Dataseven had his mouth clenched tight, not wanting anything going down his throat, it was then that Zyber touched a few spots and Dataseven mouth opened, then Zyber poured the mixture slowly down his throat and after all the mixture was finished, then Zyber released the hold on Dataseven jaw and touched a few more spot, then Dataseven fell asleep.

It was then that I gave a sigh of relief and Cybersix asked, �How did you know what had happened to Dataseven.�

Zyber answered, [�During that time that I was looking at him, I was getting into Dataseven�s mind and looking back into his memory and saw that Dataseven did get injured, but not like you, Dataseven gotten hit in the head with some flying debris and Dataseven not knowing about head injures, just went on looking for you. What we did was that Angel gave me a mixture that would cause Dataseven�s muscles to relax and let him fall sleep, while I touched a few point and that will cause him to sleep as well. Dataseven will sleep for the next 48 hours in a very deep sleep and that should help with his concussion. If Dataseven had just rested for a few days or up to a week, Dataseven wouldn�t have this problem, but then he didn�t know what he had a head injury. It was also because of his selflessness that had caused this problem as well, Dataseven didn�t want you to know that he had been injured, so he hid it from you and also hoped that this problem would go away on its on. Cybersix, I want to ask you something. Would you die in order to save someone else�s life, wouldn�t you?�]

Then Zyber continued, [�The reason is because other than the two of you, you and Dataseven, you have no one else to think of. So that is what you would do. I would do everything to protect anyone, except die, because I have Angel here and Angel would do the same thing as well, because she has me. We have each other so that we can fight and live another day. Cybersix, but you think that you are alone having no family or friends. You are wrong. If you want, we can be your family as we were all created by the same person, Dr. Von Reichter and you do have a few friends, they are Lucas Amato, Lori Anderson, Julian and Mr. Yashimoto. So you are not alone, it was because that you had been alone for so long and somewhat alienated yourself, that you didn�t realize that you have friends. So what if we are not human, we do look like them and we still need friends. And maybe in time we will have other friends as well.�]

What Zyber had said rang true for us, I would do almost anything to help anyone and Zyber would do the same. We both shared a special and unique bond that nothing could break. Then I looked at Cybersix and what Zyber had said to her was starting to sink in. Cybersix looked at Zyber, then slumped down on the floor and startled to tremble and then tears started flowing down her cheeks. The one thing that Dr. Von Reichter told to any and all his creations was that emotions were useless or that they didn�t have any, that they were his creations and that they are better than humans and that they were not human, the ones that looked like humans. We both now know that was wrong.

So I went over to Cybersix, got down on the floor, went next to her, gave her a warm hug and said, �Dr. Von Reichter is wrong in what he had told you. We both know that. Take a look at Zyber, she almost always has that smile, when while we in Meridiana, we both had noticed that the smile that Zyber has most of the time would make most people feel happy when they saw her and her smile, although that same smile seems to cause to sickens and disgust Dr. Von Reichter. The only time her smile ever changes is when Zyber gets serious and you better watch out, because when Zyber gets serious, nothing can stop her and both Zyber and I can laugh, be happy, sad, curious, and mad. I remember one time, when we were both at Dr. Von Reichter place, which we both saw Terra being born, and watched in awe as he was being created. Zyber was in the another part of the lab at that time when Terra was being created. I don�t know how to explain it, but we were connected during that time, the other thing is that Zyber was in suspended animation during that time. We both know that you love Lucas and we know the reason why you have been holding back and in time you will have to tell him the reason why, but for now, how about we give you that cure, unless you want to wait for a few minutes.�

Cybersix didn�t give me a reply, only more tears came out and I continued to hold her, until she had stopped crying, well almost stopped crying. It was during that time, while Cybersix was crying, she looked at me and saw that I too was crying, although my tears weren�t flowing as strongly as Cybersix, although for me it was through sympathy then sadness or a final emotional breakthrough.

It took a few more minutes before finally Cybersix stopped crying, she looked at me for a bit longer and I let go and then Cybersix smiled and then said, �Yes, let�s do it.�

It took a while before all of us, except Dataseven, we had regained our composure and it was then that I got a bucket and went over to our water supply and filled the bucket up and then I brought it over and then I got a couple of face cloth and some soap and I washed my face and then I handed Cybersix the other face cloth and she washed her face and shuddered as the cold water hit her face.

I saw the look on Cybersix�s face and I said, �Sorry, the only means of heating the water is over there and it takes a bit too long to heat the water.� And I pointed to an old small gas stove in the building.

Then I said, �I should get it fixed to that it would work properly, but most of the food that we bought, we could readily eat.�

After we had washed the tears off our faces, I nodded to Zyber and she got everything ready for what we were about to do.

Cybersix looked at us as we got ready. The first thing I did was I handed a �Vial of Sustenance� to her and said, �Here, drink this.�

As Cybersix was drinking the vial, Cybersix winced as Zyber injected more of the �Sustenance� into her, I could see that effect of the �Sustenance� as it was starting to flow into her and then I told Cybersix to take almost everything off.

Finally before I got Cybersix was fully set up, Zyber paralyzed her voice and then Zyber help Cybersix get into a tank. Were she was almost totally naked, except for a couple of things that covered her appropriately and then she put an oxygen mask and turned on the valve to the oxygen tank and put some electrodes on her, mostly on her arms, legs and torso and then closed the lid, making sure that it was completely sealed up. It was then that I then filled it up the tank fully up with �Sustenance�. It was then that I turned the controls on the machine and started up the process. As the treatment went on, Cybersix screamed, as the electricity had coursed through her body. I was glad for that Zyber paralyzed her voice, the scream would have been deafening because of the pain that she had to endure.

When it was over and I got Cybersix out, after she was able to stand, I gave her another �Vial of Sustenance� and we saw something happening to Cybersix, we both laughed a bit, clapped our hands a few times in joy and Zyber gleefully said, [�It worked, it worked. You are finally cured. After you have rested for awhile, we can to back to Lucas.�]

It was then that I tried to get Dataseven on my back, but I had some difficulties as I tried to get him on my back, it was then that Zyber helped me and I got Dataseven on my back.

Zyber giggled a bit as she looked at the both of us. As Dataseven�s head was on top of mine, his front legs and paws were draped over my shoulders and I was holding him by his rump and his back legs were somewhat pressed against my back. The only thing that was dangling was Dataseven�s tail. It was then that I said, �I think it would be wise if we take different routes to get to Lucas�s apartment.�

As Zyber and Cybersix were traveling through the sewer system, Zyber saw and felt the concerned look on Cybersix�s face, so she stopped, turned to completely face Cybersix and then she said, [�Sorry it is hard not to read you mind when you have some concerns and don�t worry Angel and I know what route to take to get to Lucas�s place. Besides Dataseven will be fine after he had his nap. Luckily we had caught it in time. It the fact that you love Lucas as well and you want to tell him, but you don�t want to. I know the reason why and so does Angel, but that shouldn�t stop you from loving him and you should. When the time is right for you, you should tell Lucas about it. OK. So how about we get to Lucas�s place. Besides you are not one of Dr. Von Reichter slaves anymore and you not what he had told you, so until we know otherwise we are mostly human, only to be stronger and faster than your average person.�]

Cybersix looked at Zyber and she smiled a bit and then Zyber led the way to Lucas�s apartment.

Lucas was pacing back and forth as he waited for Cybersix and us to return from our trip. As it had been a long time since we had left and he thought that it wouldn�t take that long for us. It was then that Zyber entered through the window, followed by Cybersix and when Cybersix saw Lucas, she went immediately went towards him and gave him a hug, almost crushing his ribs, until Lucas told her to stop, because she was hurting him and Cybersix relaxed a bit.

Cybersix looked into Lucas eyes deeply and gave him a passionate kiss and Lucas drank from that kiss. Cybersix then said, �I love you too, Lucas.� And Cybersix hugged again as tears flowed as all the pent up emotions were coming out and right there Cybersix knew that she was in love with Lucas.

After Lucas had somewhat recovered from what Cybersix had given to him, Lucas asked, �Where is your Sis and Dataseven?�

Zyber answered [�Angel is on her way, with Dataseven. It seems that Dataseven had sustained some injuries. Dataseven had suffered from a concussion from a blow to the head and it was caught in time. So for the next 48 hours Dataseven will be sleeping his injuries off. Angel is carrying him to here.�]

It was then that Lucas heard Zyber give me a name. Then Lucas asked, �So your Sis has a name now, so what is yours and why did Dr. Von Reichter give you those names?�

Zyber answered [�The reason Dr. Von Reichter gave Angel her name is because it is just one part of her full name. Angel�s full name is ��ngel de la Muerte� and possibly you know that is Spanish.�] Lucas nodded and the Zyber continuingly said, [�The translation of it form Spanish is �Angel of Death�. The thing is that if he went through with something, which what Angel name would be, but at this time her name is just going to be Angel. My name is Zyber as I have some of the Cyber-series traits in me. So Dr. Von Reichter gave me a variant spelling of Cyber.�]

As Lucas was emotionally recovering as what Zyber had said, we all heard a knock on the door, somewhat startling Lucas in the process, so Zyber went over to the door and slowly and cautiously opened the door and saw it was us.

Lucas saw how I was carrying Dataseven and then I asked �Can I put Dataseven on the bed so that he can rest until his injuries are healed.�

Lucas did the only thing that he could do and nodded his head in a dumbfounded way.

As I was going to the bedroom, I said silently to Zyber, [�By the look on Lucas�s face, you told him our names. Did you say anything else about us or other things?�]

Zyber replied, [�No, nothing yet. I think we should wait until Lucas has some time to recover to what I had said.�]

It was then that I put Dataseven down on Lucas�s bed and made my way to the living room. When I got there I was surprised to see what was going on, Zyber was half looking and half looking away as Cybersix was kissing Lucas. After Cybersix had finished kissing Lucas, Lucas face was a bit flushed.

So I waited to a moment or two and said, �Lucas, I know that you know our names now and a few other things, but not everything else. So I am going to tell you everything about us.�

It was then that we all heard a chitterling sound and then I said, �But first I would like to who was helping us keep an eye on you while we were away.�

It was then that Sable came up on to my shoulder and I told Lucas about him and what had happened to the other creations that I had made. It was then that we told everything about ourselves, except for one aspect about me and Sable, stopping now and again so that Lucas could fully grasp at what I had said.

It was then that Lucas gasp in awe and finally Lucas said, �I think I understand what you had said and all, but it going to be sometime before I fully understand it, but in the mean time what are you going to do.�

We both looked at each other and didn�t know what to say. It was then that Cybersix said, �Since they are renegade creations from Dr. Von Reichter, maybe they can stay with me, well once I find a new place for us to stay in, but to what we tell other people, I don�t know.�

It was then that I said, �I think I know a way for us to stay with you. We had thought of several ways to stay with you.�

It was then that I told them each of the stories that we had thought of and after a while decided on one of them.

It was then that Cybersix said �Lucas, you better tell the school that I would be to start teaching on Monday.�

Then it dawned on Cybersix and she asked, �We know what we are going to say, but where are they going to stay once they get here. My place is too small for them, not until I find a bigger place for them and how am I going to get back to my apartment, I don�t have any of my street clothes with me. Also what is going to be your other names?�

Lucas then replied, �They could stay with me, until you find a new place. As to getting your other clothes, I�m stumped.�

It was then that I said, �We could get our other clothes. It is not that difficult for us, it was Zyber that brought that box to you and nobody saw her.�

But for a while we where all stumped as to what our other names were going to be, it was then that Lucas thought of something and told them to us and Zyber and I both agreed to it.

So that was what we had agreed upon, so late at night, the two of us went over to Adrian/Cybersix�s apartment and got one of her outfits, as we were looking for her street clothes, we, too, say something else in one of the closet and we both smiled at it.

Jose starting to be glad as he noticed that the paralysis was started to wear off, only to find out that something else had started, all his nerves started to fire off and for about five minutes, Jose screamed as much as his body could, as the effects took him over. After Jose thought that he was over what had happened, he noticed that his legs didn�t work too well, so for the rest of the day and until the next morning Jose had stayed in bed, as his Father, Dr. Von Reichter, watched as Jose had suffered to what Zyber did to him. Thing is that Dr. Von Reichter hadn�t told Jose that he had to destroy the Fixed Idea that Zyber had paralyzed as she had caused irreversible damage to him. For Dr. Von Reichter he didn�t want to do it, but he had to, because that Fixed Idea was of no use to him, destroying a useless creation was easy for him to do, but this was hard. So after he had done it he went to his new living quarters and silently went to sleep, knowing possible that Jose would be better in the morning and that new possibilities were on there way.

Dataseven fully recovered from head injuries after having that 48 hour nap and that Cybersix was back teaching as a literature teacher. It was during one of Adrian�s classes that an announcement over the school speakers asked for Adrian to go to the principal office. It was after Adrian had come back that he will announce what has happened in a few days.

Adrian had gotten in early for his classes and then as the students came in and went to their seats, Adrian said, �As some of you know I was sent over to the principal office to be told something, until recently I thought I was an only child, but has changed as I have found out that I have a older Brother or had a older Brother, he and his wife had perished in a car accident sometime ago. Don�t be sad for me as I don�t know much about them other than that they had two children who were not in that car accident and I want you to meet my Niece and Nephew.�

It was then that Adrian went over to the door, opened it and then had motioned with his hands for us to come and we slowly both entered in the Classroom. It was then that Adrian said, �I would like to introduce my Niece, Zoe, and her Brother, my Nephew, Alex. Until I find a place they will be staying with a friend of my Lucas and maybe Zoe will be attending classes here. I should tell you one thing is that Alex is a mute, so he can�t speak at all, although he does know some sign language. So I want you to warmly greet my new relatives.�

After all the introductions were given, although there was a problem, Lori helped us out to clear that matter; maybe, just maybe we had found an ally to help us out. We went over to a waiting area and waited to the school day to finished, then the day was finished Lucas picked us up and we went over to his place. And later that night we waited for Cybersix so that we all could do this night rounds.

Now Meridiana has three protectors instead of one, five if you include Dataseven and Sable.

The End�
