Animaze Castle
Chapter 4--Is It Over?
"Move damnit! Now before it's too late!" 002 yelled at 003 who was still too frightened to move. 0014 was getting close enough to her now that 003 could see the pale moonlight shimmer off of 0014's metallic claws.

"003!" Joe shouted at the top of his lungs. Right when 003 was less than an inch away from being shish-kabobed, she disappeared. Being so close to impact when the disappearance occurred, 0014 had to keep her self from falling face first into the ground from the momentum.

Furious, 0014 frantically looked from side to side, trying to figure out where the other female had gotten to. Her vision ceased movement on 003 and 007 who was changing back into his human form. The British actor had shape- shifted to a majestic cheetah.

003 had been rammed out of the way just in time by none other than 007. Yes, 007.

(009: Hey! That's my job! I always save her. LRD: That's why I had 007 save her. I thought I'd give you a little break. 009: Whatever.)

'I could have sworn that I saw something on the back of her neck,' 003 mentally noted, 'Something that shouldn't be there.'

Using her enhanced sight, 003 looked through 0014's neck. Her eyes widened as she figured out what it was. It was a small black microchip with a smaller blinking red center. The device didn't attach to 0014's spinal cord, but was still sending messages up to her brain. 003 determined that it could be removed with out permanent damage or too much pain.

"She's being mind controlled!-" 003 exclaimed.

"Ugh, that's just sick! She's fighting against her will. Well, I would guess that she is. I bet she doesn't like this. I know that I would be mad if I were being mind controlled." 007 interrupted

"007?" the hotheaded American asked.

"Yes?"

"SHUT UP!"

"Okay."

"Anyway-Remove the device from the back of her neck!" 003 yelled to the other cyborgs.

"Got it!" 004 spoke loudly (not yelling or normal talking; right in the middle).

As soon as the word 'Remove the device,' left 003's lips, the other cyborgs immediately rushed into action against 0014.

009 clicked his back tooth and ran up to 0014. "You think you can outrun me?" 0014 called over her shoulder to 009. She smirked and disappeared.

"Where'd she go?"

"I'm back here," 0014 whispered into 009's ear. "My acceleration 3 is far more superior to your outdated acceleration 2 model. (I think 009 has two levels of acceleration mode.)

Frantically whipping his head around, 009 come face to face with the part- cat cyborg. Fire instantly raised her left and grabbed 009 around the neck; claws beginning to puncture the skin. Five drops of crystal red blood had already started to leak down into his golden scarf.

"Let him go!"

Glaring over to her right, Fire found the speaker of the voice was the French ex-ballerina.

"Ah, 003. Girlfriend to the rescue?"

"I'll repeat myself one last time. LET 009 GO NOW!"

"If I let your little boyfriend here go, you'll come back with me?" 0014 smirked inwardly. She knew 003 wouldn't allow 009 to be hurt because of her defiance.

"Y-yes. I'll go back with you to Black Ghost. Just promise me you'll let 009 go now." 003's aquamarine eyes had begun to leak at the sides.

As soon as 003's plea entered 0014's head, she released her death grip on the semi-conscious youth. 009 instantly crumpled to the muddy ground in a heap of red, gold, and black.

"Joe!" 003 screamed and bolted over to the injured cyborg's side. "Are you okay?! Huh? What's this?" Her eyes fell upon 009's hand which was clasped over something. Meanwhile, 0014 was looking around thoroughly confused as to how she got there. She also kept looking at the tips of her silver claws which were stained with red.

"I-" the Japanese boy started, "-pulled it off as I fell." Slowly, 009 opened his hand and revealed the black microchip. He quickly lost conscious.
