'Wow... I almost forgot how relaxing the woods can actually be.'
Taking in a deep breath of fresh air, Kayla looked around at her surroundings while walking along a path in the woods.
She had just finished her shift of patrol duty in the area a while ago, but figured she would enjoy the scenery while making her way back to Professor Kazumi's mansion, to help her get a better understanding of the land's layout.
"I guess now I understand why 005 likes to mediate out here. It's so calm and peaceful."
The fox cyborg lightly smiled to herself, but suddenly felt her fox ears and tail appear, allowing her to hear noises just behind her, as she slowly lowered her hand near the blaster in the holster of her belt while carefully turning around towards the source of the noise.
"Who's... Who's there? If you don't come out right now... I swear that I'll..."
"Wait, wait, don't shoot. I mean you no harm."
Picking her head up, the Irish girl watched as a man with long black hair tied in a ponytail and dark blue eyes stepped out from the bushes, as her eyes then widen in shock when she noticed him wearing a very familiar attire to her.
"Your... Your a..."

"Hey, has anyone seen 0016?" asked 004 as he entered the living room of the Kazumi mansion, where a few members of cyborg team were relaxing before their turn for shift patrol. "She was suppose to be back from her shift patrol by now."
"Maybe she lost track of time, and is still out and about in the woods." 007 suggested from his desk while working on his novel. "Nature can do wonders to the soul you know."
The arsenal cyborg rolled his eyes from his comrade's statement, but slightly nodded in understanding as he leaned himself against the doorframe of the room while folding his arms in his chest, and staring out at the living room windows.
"I suppose your right. I just hope she doesn't run into any trouble while she's out there."
"Come on 004, it's just the woods." 002 remarked from his seat on the couch, arms crossed behind his head, and feet resting on top of a table. "What's the worse that could happen?"
--------------------------------------------------------
"So your 0014, and have come here to join us?"
"That's right. To make a long story short, I escaped from Black Ghost, and have been traveling miles and miles to find you and the rest of the cyborg team, so that I may ask to join you all and be of an assistance on your mission to stop Black Ghost once and for all."
Kayla nodded in understanding, but couldn't help but stare closely at cyborg she just met. However, she shook it off while beginning to resume the path back to Professor Kazumi's mansion, as she looked over her shoulder at the black haired man.
"Well then, I suppose be better get going, if you want to meet everyone."
"Oh, we don't have to leave. Your friends will be showing up here instead."
"Really? Why's that?" asked the fox cyborg as she stopped in her tracks, and looked over at 0014 with a puzzled look.
Before she could get an answer though, the Irish girl suddenly felt a burning pain through her left shoulder, and fell to her knees while grasping her wound, as she her eyes then widen in shock and fear when she noticed a pair of glowing yellow eyes looking down at her.
