Animaze Castle
Chapter 5--Consideration
"009!" All of the cyborgs -minus 0014- ran over to the fallen cyborg's side. 003 was sobbing uncontrollably, thinking her crush had perished. While the male cyborgs tried to revive their comrade, the cat cyborg was long forgotten and not missed.

"Um-Hello? Fire's small, timid voice was full of confusion and lost among the commotion caused all because of her. Fire was never very patient.

"HEY!" Dabbing at her eyes with the end of her scarf, 003 looked in Fire's direction, full of anger and hate. Narrowing her eyes into slits, she spoke with malice with near-gritted teeth.

"What do you want? Look what you did to 009!"

"Wha-? I-I didn't know. R-really," 0014 was afraid of the crazed female cyborg before her.

It took 005 *and* 002 to restrain the French girl. She wanted to tear 0014 into little bite size pieces for what Fire had done to the Japanese youth. Blinking several times in shock, 007 thought, '003 can be nice and sweet when calm, but deadly when angered.' He gulped back pure fear.

"003!" The German stepped in, grabbing the hysterical girl's shoulders. "She was being mind controlled! She couldn't control what she was doing. She didn't hurt 009! Black Ghost did!" 003 looked into 004's eyes, wondering if he spoke the truth. He must have believed him; she could now speak with an even tone. "At least she can talk without screaming now," 0014 thought.

Trying to calm her self, 003 took a deep breath and began to explain.

"Basically, Black Ghost was mind controlling you to do his work. Apparently, you are unable to remember what you do during this time," She paused for a second, then continued, slower, "While you were mind controlled last, you attack us. You tried to kill 009. He's unconscious now because of blood lost by your claws.

0014 looked down at her hands, 'I should have known. It happened again.' Her hand flew to her mouth. Slowly removing it, she whispered, barely audible, "I'm so sorry. I couldn't control myself."

004 spoke before Francoise could, "It's okay Fire, 009 is only unconscious. If we get him back to the Dolphin now, he should make a quick recovery."

"Well, could I help? I feel so responsible," 0014 asked.

'Gee, maybe that's because you *are* responsible,' 003 thought, rolling her eyes.

(003: You're making me seem so rude! LRD: Well, I'd be pissed too if someone hurt my 009. 033: *Your* 009 *eyebrow twitch* LRD: Heh heh *sweatdrop* ^-^ Bye! Back to the regularly scheduled fanfic. *runs from the crazed female cyborg who was a chainsaw.*)

"I could get him to this "Dolphin" you speak of much faster any of you could. Just tell me where this place is."

"No." 002 spoke with a tone that no one could question.
