The test:
Climbing up on top the ship, 002 was left alone in his thoughts. His hand still stung like fire from where it hit the wall.
It was still nothing compared to the fire of jelousy that now burned in his heart.
Ever since 009 had joined up with the crew he\'s all she\'s really thought about.
\"Did she ever realize how I felt about her to begin with?\"
002 lay back against the cold steel of the ship, the light of the promising sunrise glinting in the distance.
As the cool morning breeze brushed against his cheeks, he closed his eyes in remberance of years ago.
\"If only I could have told you then, I\'d never be the fool now .......\"

1950 or 60-something
\"Disobedient lil ex- street punk.\" A well dressed man in a black suit poked at him laying on the operating room table.
\"Trying to fly off again and got all busted up.\" The well dressed man laughed before barking orders. \"Take him to the cryogenic freezing room, we\'ll thaw this one out when we have time for em.\"
Being drug off to be frozen until needed again, 002 managed to open his eyes slightly as they placed him in his tube to rest.
He\'d noticed a beautiful figure in the tube next to him. She was like an angel in darkness, but it\'l hel he could think before he was frozen.
Months had passed by, but time means nothing anymore.......

The organization decided to have another weapons test with it\'s new lil \"toys\". This time in the denseness of a thick jungle.
Each cyborg was dropped off at a different location of the forest. There are 2 others, but that was all he was told.
Without any warning the test begun, snipers, bombs endless fields of mines the confusion never stopped.
Would finally giving up mean death and freedom, no they\'d only keep finding ways to bring him back to life with new cybernetic parts.
He was a prisoner for life..forever.
As he was running from the nearest bomb dropped, 002\'s foot hit a tree stump tripping him into the canyon below allowing him to miss that blast the could have got him.
Shortly after the exsplosion, he heard a woman\'s scream from behthe the next bank of trees.
\" It\'s her.\" 002 darted thought the trees with exceleration speed just as another bomb was dropping closer to her.
He took her by the hand and took off with her into the night sky as the ground below them was reduced to nothing.
Once realizing where she was, the mysterious woman kicked and screamed franticly trying to get free.
\"Hey! Stop!\" 002 begged for her to stop. \" I\'m trying to save ----\"
It was then that his rockets cut out on him for the moment and the two of them fell from freedom\'s short lived grace.
Landing in a small creek, 002 held out his hand to help her out of the muddy waters.
She was hesitant to accept at first. It was then when he finally got a good look at her. Delocate and slender, her hair was as blond as gold, eye green like jade.
Why would the kidnap a woman like her ?
She seemed to mutter something in French as she accepted his hand, but it wasn\'t in romance.
Hesitantly she spoke to him as tears began to roll down her cheeks \"Please .. you can kill me now I give up.. I just want this to end\"
002 looked at her a bit confused. \" That\'s no way to thank you\'re rescuer, you\'re known as ....?\"
\"...003, They call me 003\" Suddenly her eyes widened with shock. \"Something else is coming! \"
002 looked even more confused. \"but I don\'t hear ---\"
\" No it\'s coming! \" She scream in protest clutching onto him. \"I don\'t understand how I know but I can see--\"
She was right, another bomb was coming screaming from the sky.
002 held her close to protect her from the blast.
\"Perhaps this is finally the end.\" 002 though.
Luck would serpass as the bomb was suddently detanated by another bomb rocketing in from a distance.
Glancing over, the latest cyborg model was reveiled lurking from the darkness.
\" Just in time.\" The tall man with a gun for a hand jumped down from the cliff he was standing on to see if the two other\'s he\'d saved where ok.
002 looked twards the sky in question. \" How many people are dropping fucking bombs down on us?\"
003 inquired her vison. \" Four choppers, now comming from the east.\"
The tall man with a gun for a hand spoke. \" Shall we take care of them rocket man?\"
\"....I see..\" 002 grinned with an eger smile a he took off with the gunman.
\" Hey wait where are you going!\" A confused 003 screamed on.
As the two darted twards the heavens, the choppers locked on their target instantly. It\'s exsactly what the cyborgs had in mind.
Bullets showers though the night sky in presuit. With all the guns and bombs the new cyborg had and the mock flying skills of 002, the dog fight was almost child\'s play
\"Great shot. \" 002 congraduated him. \" buu hau haven\'t even told us who you are--- hey pal are you ok?\"
His new freind fell to the ground cluching his knees in pain. \"--name\'s 004 and----i\'ll be--fine --\"
The night pressed on but, 004\'s contition only worstned.

Back at the monitoring station, there was a constant state of confusion. The radar was downed keeping track of the cyborgs progress.
The well dressed man slammed his fists on the table \" Find em! ..Find em now! We\'ve got too much money invested in the projec
Fo
For now they where lost, but time was on a count down on how much freedom they would have left.
@};-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All though the night 003 and 002 kept constant watch over 004. Keeping him hidden in a small cave from any farther attacks that may happen, he was able to rest but not in peace.
Sitting back on a rock to rest for the moment 002 watched over 003 tending to 004. She donated part of her scfor for a damp cloth to keep him cool.
Even though she wasn\'t sure of what she could do for him, she was there to confront him though his pain.
002\'s thoughts began to wander.
Not only did she hold beauty, but she was the kindest person he\'d ever seen.In his life before being kidnapped, he hadn\'t known many kind people, let alone many kind women. She was delicate in every move she made even down to the way her fingertips stroked though 004\'s hair to try to calm him from his pain. Her voice was as soothing as a song bird ....
\" 002..?\" She began to question his long stare. \"Are you ok?\"
\"Huh?\" He never realized how long he was daydreaming. \" o.. yeah I\'m fine .. just.. wondering why they stopped bombing us, it\'s too quite.\"
After the chopper incedent everything fell queit , too quiet.
Looking as if she was a lost child, 003 gazed down at the ground. \" You\'re right, only the silence seems to be more scary than the bombs and snipers.\"
002 seemed to gain a lump in the throat at the thought that crossed his mind next, dare he even try to confront her?
It already seemed she was worlds above him. She was a woman of style and class, and himself? He was just a ratty ex street punk.
002 closed his eyes as he got up, within what felt like a dream to him he wrapped his arms around 003 in a caring embrace.
If she rejected him he\'s understand.
\"Don\'t worry.\" He hoped his words would confront her. \"I\'ll protect you if anything else happens.\"
To his suprized she seemed to relax and lay back in his arms.
\"For now let me watch over 004 and ---\" She\'d already fallen asleep .
\"Today was rough on her. \" 004 grind though his pain.
\" Don\'t worry I\'ll look out for you too pal , I\'ll keep watch tonight\" 002 kept his vote of confidance.
Even in an unpredictable war zone, there was still hope.
As night pressed on, 002 watched over his friends. He looked down at the sleepingel gel in his arms. Even in sleep she was more beautiful than ever. His heart grew with desire as he held her. He dared to brush back a few strands of hair from her face.
\" Like golden silk.\" He thought to himself.
A soft sigh escaped her.
\"If only you knew how much I was falling for you.\" 002 sighed to himself.
002 took off his scarf and folded it neatly beside him.
Gently he lay 003 down using his scarf as a megshift pillow.
\"One day I wanna promise you great things, a wonderful life, beaches filled of golden sand. \"002 gently graced a single fingertip across her lips.
003 sighed softly once more, only this time a small smile graced her lips.
002 smiled warmly as he got up. \"Until then I\'ll protect you though all this until we\'ve found a way out.
