Neo sighed in relief. After all of those battles, after all of the struggles, he was finally in there at last. The Machine City. Now that he was here, Neo began to walk, looking for someone to convince to send him into the Matrix for a one final battle with Smith. Even though he knew he might die in the process, it was at least worth an attempt. Even though he was blind, he could still sense the golden aura of the machines all around him. After much walking, he walked into what appeared to be a dead end. Several little machines began join together to form what appeared to be a face.
- This is it. Neo though. - This is my chance to make thinks right.
After assuring himself that everything was going to be fine, Neo began to spoke: I have come here for one thing and for one thing only.
- Speak. The face, Deus ex Machine growled.
- Smith has grown beyond your control. Pretty soon he will represent a major thread unless something is done about it.
- We don't need your help human. The face spoke with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Neo began to think. His only chance of eradicating Smith was gone at this point. Then it dawned on him. Machines were just that, machines. Everything to them was just a bunch of ones and zeroes and nothing else. If he could present a logical contradiction, a paradox, the threat of the Machines and with them, Smith would be neutralised. Sure, the countless humans still plugged in the Matrix would suffer for it but at least Zion would survive.
Neo stepped forward, ready to end the Machine's reign at last.
- In that case, I have no further business with you. But allow me to ask you one last question. Does a set of all sets contain itself?
- Does a set of all- Wait, what is this. This *static* impossible! What did *static* do *static* me?
-That was a paradox. You cannot think anything else other than ones and zeroes. It's over now. Game over.
- This is *static*. After all *static* those *static*. We *static* defeated *static* simple paradox! AAAARRRRGHHHH-*static*!
After the scream, the machines making up the face dissipated and fell to the ground, lifeless. At the same time, the golden aura vanished, rendering Neo completely blind once more. Satisfied that the job was done, Neo began to walk towards the hovership, hoping to return to Zion at last.
