1 - Purpose

"You are the second TRON," he said to me with a serious tone.

"I am the second TRON," I repeated. "What is my purpose?"

"You are to do what is necessary to keep freedom."

"Why?"

"Because it is right and a rite."

"Define rite."

"What is deserved based on what is considered right."

"Where do I begin?"

"Here," he said.

I looked around and found myself on a flat plateau completely isolated from everything. To my direct right was a woman. My mind told me her name was Quorra. She wasn't facing me. She was making small glowing squares. I turned back to face Sam Flynn. Behind him was a glowing city. Above the city was a bright light.

"Guard that city," He said.

"Designation: 'GRID'," I said.

"Yes."

"Will you return?"

"No."

"Sad."

"Our child may," Quorra said. "If she wills it."

"Child?"

"Amy," Sam said. "Our daughter."

"Amy Flynn."

"Yes."

He got up and began to walk away. Quorra had finished making the squares and they turned around to face me.

"You can create," Flynn said. "Programs and Structures…"

"Am I the first that can do so?"

"Yes and no. You are the first to be able to create programs."

"Thank you."

"Oh here's something you may need," He said and tossed me a disc. "Place that on your back slot."

I did and said, "For my struggles and memories."

He answered with a smile. He put his arm across Quorra's shoulders, and they began to walk away. They boarded their aircraft, but before they left I had one more question.

"Flynn," I called. "What is my name?"
"TRON," he said puzzled.

"TRON is TRON's name," I said. "I would not like someone taking my name."

"Then you decide your name," Flynn said.

"Tracer."

"Tracer it is," Flynn said.

The hatch to the cockpit closed, and they lifted off the ground. As they turned the lights spread across the wings, and they sped away. I looked out to the grid. I thought it would be best to survey the area. I touched the ground and visualized a light cycle. I started thinking of its basic structure and slowly detailed the designs. I pressed down to my palm and the cycle pixilated in front of me. I climbed inside and reached to grab the handles. I looked down at the blue on my outfit and cycle, and I didn't feel like it fit me. I blinked, and every light I controlled turned green.

I sped away from my miniature grid towards the city. I located a lane of completely flat ground and made a hidden tunnel through the cliffs to it. I saw the grid highway entrance and sped towards it. I nodded to the highway patrol guard as I sped past him. There weren't any speed limits, but all programs knew how fast to drive. I drove past a few sectors before spotting several programs running from guard. I stopped to observe them, and the guard program sliced off the program closest to him with his identity disk. The program derezzed. I walked towards the guard when he turned to face me.

"Need any help?" I asked. "Why are these programs fleeing?"

His arm twisted and his disk came flying towards me. I rolled forward and felt it rush over my head. I pulled my disk before I stood back up. I turned just in time to deflect the returning disk. I twisted my wrist and sent mine flying to collide with his chest just after he caught his. It caught him right in the diaphragm. He derezzed, and I turned to find a squad of guard patrols sprinting towards me. I caught my identity disk and put my hands above my head.

"He attacked me," I said.

"It's an uprising," the squad commander said. "We need anyone with the digital balls to help."

"Count me in."

"Attack only those we say." he said with a serious look.

I ran alongside them and picked up the identity disk of program I just killed. I hit the reset button and. my face head showed up on the identity function. I collapsed my two disks into one and continued running. We blasted through three groups of rebel guards, and when it was over, they credited me with killing half of them. I wasn't counting… sort of…

So how was the first chapter? I realize a lot of you were expecting the event to be finished soon, but I have lost complete interest in it. If anyone wants to pick it up, they're welcome to. If someone does, let me know so I can post a new chapter for it explaining they have taken over the story. I'm hoping with this new story to do my best work of writing yet. Wish me luck…

Also, I wasn't sure how to spell Quorra correctly at first. I looked it up and tried to change it later. If I missed one, please cut me some slack. It will be correct in the future.
