"Let me be the one"

end of innocence:
A murky looking scientist spun around in his office chair way from the monitoring equipment towards the well dressed man.
\"all systems back online. Sir. \" He reported. \"We\'re sending out more reinforcements to finish the test. They should track em down in a few min.\"
\"Good...\" The well ded med man loomed. \"The faster we prove this test right, the faster we can start shipping these toys out to well paying countries for war.\"

\"If only this moment could last forever.\" 002 thought.
004 slept on in the soft ferns.
He took her by that hand once more guiding her thought the cool waters, she never strayed far from him the whole time.
Her moves where graceful like a swan. It was as if they where dancing though the water.
002 lifted her up by the waist spinning her around.
Giggling like a schoolgirl, she playfully tried to break from his embrace. \"Stop .. Stop .... You\'re making me dizzy.\"
It was then when they looked into each other\'s eyes again.
He couldn\'t resist the temtation any longer.
Slowly, timidly he brought his lips close to hers but she never protested.
Time seemed like it would never end as their lips touched, it was the sweetest moment.
002 moaned softly against her lips as she kissed him. She was the sweetest thing he\'d ever tasted,
he had to have more.
His tongue traced over lipslips begging for entrance, to his suprize she gasped against his kiss allowing him access.
He brought her closer in his embrace as she wrapped her arms around him.
\" Not now, Not now ... They can\'t be coming.
Her grip on him tightened, but it was too late before she could tell him.
The world grew bright in a blaze of fire before 003 was ripped from his embrace.
The forces had returned with more vengeance than ever, dropping a bombs on the lagoon where they where resting.
003 awoke to a world far from the peaceful lagoon they had stopped at just an hour ago
The land was now an engulffed in flames.
She could feel blood dripping down her arm but not all of it was her\'s.
Crying out for life she screamed \" 002!, Where are you?! 002!!!\"
\"He couldn\'t keep his promise.\" Thoughts of hopelessness filled her mind. She was alone again. \"He couldn\'t keep his promise\"
Where was 002 ? Where was 004?
Slowly she picked her head up from the blood bath she was lying in. She could hear him screaming her name over and over again trying to reach out for her, but as he reached out to grab her hand one of the snipers finally met up with him.
The sniper pinned his hand to the ground with his assult rife cackling with joy.
\"Aww how sweet, cyborgs can feel love too ---\" Shooting a round though 002\'s hand the sniper smiles a sickening smile.

002 jolted awake clutching his hand. \" How could they-----\" He was clutching his fist to his chest when noticed it was bandaged and that it was mid morning.
\"What the --?\"
\" Morning pal\" He was suprized to see 004 sitting next to him. \"Gillmore says we\'re taking off in an hour.\"
004 over the years had become his best friend. Though all the years and sagas they had been though as a team was was always there.
\"You don\'t have to explain why there\'s now a gapping hole in the wall downstairs, I saw this coming sooner or later\" 004 tried to give his friend some insight. \"I know you had a thing for her but love works in odd ways. Prehaps somehow things will work out.\"
002 sighed, for the moment the pep talk wasn\'t really working. \"Yeah but love still hurts like a bitch ....\"

Back below the ships deck 009 awoke lazily with a sigh, as he embraced his beloved she awoke in his arms.
\"Good morning sweetest...\" His lips claimed hers deeply.
He\'d never forget their night together as long as he lived.
The End
