Tron was on top of his home/tower overlooking Tron City. "Nice view huh, Tron?" asked an all too familiar voice. "Yes it is Flynn" said Tron "but I still think having my own tower is a little much." "Don't be a square Tron it's the least I could do. After all you're the system monitor, you protect the entire Grid." "With help from the system monitor programs you made." Flynn then remembered, "Oh yeah, how have things been going with the team?" Flynn asked. "They've been great; I've become good friends with Dyson." "That's good to hear man; how has CLU been? Still uneasy about the ISOs?" "Of course he is, but then so are many other programs. A lot of the Basics don't really seem to get along with them." "Well you can't blame them, I designed them to be naturally competitive, so they don't really like someone unfamiliar in their territory. That's why I made the ISOs their own section to live in." "And yet there's still unrest" Tron said. Kevin reassured him "But I know you and your team can handle it. Which reminds me I have something for you and your team." Flynn had been holding something behind his back, it was a small box, Flynn showed it to Tron and then opened it, revealing five batons. "Batons?" Tron asked. "Not just any batons" Flynn took one out and snapped it in half to the side so it wouldn't drive off, "let me show you." As the bike materialized into its full form, Tron's eyes widened in surprise. "Is this what I think it is?" asked Tron "I thought you were the only one who rode this kind of lightcycle". Flynn shrugged his shoulders and said "Well I figured if a team of system monitors is going to be lead by Tron, they should ride in style."
Tron made his way to the system monitor headquarters (made up, it's like a sheriff station) with the box of special batons and found his team. "Greetings programs" Tron said, "Flynn has given us all a new gift." Tron held out the box and opened it to show his team the batons. "What's so special about these?" one of the team members asked. Tron took one out, "Let me show you" he said and snapped the baton in half to reveal a custom black ENCOM-786 lightcycle (black version of Flynn's lightcycle). The teams eyes widened in surprise and Dyson stepped forward to inspect the bike. "An ENCOM-786? I thought Flynn had only made three. One in his possession, another placed somewhere only he knew of and I heard that a garage owner had the last (Abel, Renegade pt 1 callback). "Wait" Dyson remembered something, "You said Flynn gave us a new gift." "Well you do see five batons in here don't you?" asked Tron. "As Flynn put it, 'If a team of system monitors is going to be lead by Tron, they should ride in style'. Now how about we take these for a spin?" Almost immediately, each team member grabbed a baton and went off to test out their new bikes. "How about a race old friend?" asked Dyson before taking off. "You're on Dyson" said Tron with a grin as he made a short run to jump in the air and start up his bike.
An hour later, all five black ENCOM-786s arrived at the system monitor headquarters. "I still can't believe it" said one of Tron's team members, "four of us got a head start and Tron still beat us." " Don't forget, I was the best gamer in my original system" said Tron (referring to the grid from the first Tron movie). "Good race friend" said Dyson, "I don't think anyone could beat you. The cycle (day for programs) someone beats Tron, is the cycle when Flynn falls." "Then let's hope I keep winning" said Tron.
An hour later an alarm went off in the headquarters. "Not again, that's the tenth time already" said Dyson as he read the report. "When will these end?' he wondered as he started to make his way to Tron Tower. Tron was overlooking Tron city as he usually did when at his tower. "What is it Dyson?" he asked before Dyson was in his sight. "How do you do that?" asked Dyson. "It's part of the upgrade Flynn gave me when he transferred me over to this system. He calls it "sensing" others around me." "There's a problem in one of the districts where Basics and ISOs live together. A riot between them, started by the Basics." Tron gave a disappointed sigh, "Why can't they get along?" Tron muttered to himself. "It shouldn't be too hard we've dealt with fights before" he told Dyson.
Tron, his team, and another team made their way to the district where the fight had broken out. A crowd of angry Basics had formed opposite of a crowd of angry ISOs. The two system monitor teams drove their bikes in between the crowds to form a barrier and activated their riot armor and started to disperse the crowds. "Move it along programs" "The fight's over" said the system monitors. Some Basics and ISOs didn't want to stop and pushed forward. The system monitors activated their riot shield to hold them back. "We said disperse programs" said Tron. Both sides kept pushing until a figure in the distance put his hands to the floor, causing transparent barriers to form between the programs and system monitors. The programs stopped in confusion while Flynn, accompanied by CLU, made his way to the crowd. CLU reached for his disc but Flynn grabbed his arm saying "Relax man, I can handle it." CLU acknowledged and put his arm down. As Flynn came closer to the crowd, the Basics and ISOs started murmuring "It's Flynn" "the Creator" "he's here" "CLU's with him". "Flynn" Tron said, "When did you arrive?". "Got here ten minutes ago, I guess you were already on your way here." CLU stepped forward and asked in a loud and angry voice "Would someone care to explain what is going on?" A Basic and an ISO came forward "I started the fight sir", said the Basic he kneeled before Flynn and CLU "Please forgive me" "And me as well" said the ISO "I take equal responsibility". "Take them into custody for questioning and put them in containment for 40 cycles" said CLU. "Forty is a little harsh CLU" Flynn said. "It will teach them a lesson" CLU reasoned. "Well, alright" Flynn said with uncertainty, "But that's it, only forty cycles, then release them with a warning" Flynn said with assertiveness. "Of course" CLU said. CLU went up to Tron and said "I think we can handle it from here Tron, you and the others head back to the station."
As the teams arrived at the station, Dyson noticed that Tron had an uncertain look about him. "Is there something wrong Tron?" Dyson asked. "I was just thinking about CLU" Tron said, when I saw him walking towards us, his eyes were looking towards the ISO crowd with a judging look. Like if he thought they were the cause of the fight." "I'm sure Flynn will clear it up" said Dyson, "You worry too much". "Hmm" said Tron, still suspicious.
Well, that's it for this chapter, remember if you want another, this one needs 3 reviews.
End of line.
