Teen Titans: Matrix Meltdown

Chapter 2: Questions and Answers

The next morning, Z and Sam were repairing the Time Jet since it was out of commission. The two were repairing the wires in the left wing of the plane. Basically, the plane had engine problems when it arrived at the hanger.

"Hold this tight, Sam while I'll cut it," Z said while holding scissors.

"Yes master," Sam said.

Z cuts the yellow wire of the wing. He replaces it with a bland new wire that hold the gasoline and oil of the plane. The two continued to fix the main engine when Geo arrived.

"Hey bro," Z said, "What's up?"

"Good morning, master," Sam said.

"Hello you two," Geo said, "How's it going with the Time Jet?"

"Well, bro. The wires in the plane sort of got cut when we entered the time stream. But we replaced it with some new wires."

"So when will this be finished? I must meet the architect and the others today."

"Really? Why?"

"Well…I…got a feeling…that Smith could be…alive."

"Is that all? Dude, the guy got killed by gunfire. There is no way he could survived that."

"I know. That's what Raven said."

"Awe, the two of you again? Did you guys kiss?"

"Shut up, Z!"

"Sorry."

"I'll be right back. Just finish the job."

"Alright, see ya."

"Good-bye master."

Later, Geo got into the time jet and traveled back to his timeline. He arrived at his home Zion. His first objective was to meet his master, Morpheus. He went to Morpheus' room in Zion in order to have a meeting about the mission. Once Geo reached his room, he knocked on the metal door. Morpheus opens the door to see his student.

"Geo," he said, "What are you doing here?"

"Master," Geo said, "I have a problem and it seems that you are the one that can help me."

"Ok, come on in."

Geo went inside his room. They sat down at the table.

"Now tell me," Morpheus said, "What's your problem?"

"Well master," Geo said, "About the mission that me and the titans had. When we left, I saw all of the Smith Clones and Smith himself get killed. Now today and a past few days ago in the past, I have these nightmares about Smith."

"What are your nightmares trying to tell you?"

"Well…these nightmares I have show that Smith survived. It seems that he is more powerful than ever."

"Uh-huh."

"And…I think that we failed the mission."

"Geo, you didn't fail the mission."

"We didn't?"

"No. Our ground forces searched everywhere for Smith but he was nowhere to be found."

"Then that means…"

"He is dead."

"I'm not sure about it, master. I thought of going into the matrix and ask the oracle and the architect."

"If you want to know, then go ask. I'll take you in."

"Thank you master."

Moments later, Morpheus and Geo entered the matrix. Their first stop was the oracle. Geo went up to the oracle at her usual place which is a park filled with birds. Morpheus remained behind them watching.

"Hello oracle," Geo said.

"Geo," the oracle said, "What a pleasant surprise."

"I want to ask you a few questions."

"Sure. Want some candy?"

"Okay."

Geo takes a piece of chocolate, sits down on the park bench with the oracle and says, "Oracle, I have a problem."

"What is it?"

"Well, it's about…the mission that my friends and I completed."

"You mean Operation Pandora Tomorrow?"

"Yes. You see…I have these nightmares about Smith. These nightmares are trying to tell me that Smith is alive. He lived throughout the gunfight. I was wondering if you could help me out."

"Geo. Smith is dead. It can't be possible that he survived. Besides, I don't know if he is."

"Then you don't know."

"No, silly. If you want to know, ask the architect."

"Okay, thank you."

Geo left the park and met Morpheus.

"Take me to the architect, master," Geo said.

"Of course," Morpheus said.

The two went to an office building in Metro city where architect is located. Morpheus used his key on one of the doors and opens it. Geo and Morpheus were now in the architect's room. The architect was sitting in his chair with his silver pen watching the monitors. He turns to meet Geo and Morpheus.

"Hello Geo," the architect said.

"Hello architect," Geo said.

"What brings you here?"

"Architect, I have a problem and that's…"

"I know. You want to know if Agent Smith is alive."

"Yes, do you know if he is alive?"

"I'll try. Just me concentrate on the program."

The architect closes his eyes and concentrated his energy around the matrix. Geo stood there as he heard him breathing in and out. The whole entire room with monitors started to change colors from red to green to yellow to blue and so on. After a moment, the room stopped glowing and the architect opened his eyes.

"Geo," he said, "I'm afraid I have no choice but to tell you."

"What," Geo said.

"Agent Smith………….is alive!"

Geo looked in shocked.

"No it can't be," he said.

"Yes, it is," the architect said, "He must be somewhere in the matrix. He is looking for you."

"Not if I get out of here first. I'll hunt him down and kill him for good. I'll make sure he doesn't live."
