Chapter 8: jumping program/machine attack
Nick and Morpheus soon where above the city. And they zoomed down onto a roof top of a building.
"right we are here, what are you going to show me" Nick said in a ticked off way.
"this is the jumping program" Morpheus said. He was in his cloths that he whore when he first met Nick. Nick was whereing the same stuff he had on when he was last in the matrix.
"The jumping program…" Nick said he smiled; he wanted to know how to do that.
"you need to free your mind, Ze-"
"Nick!" nick said, his eye twitching a little.
Morpheus sighed. "sooner or later, you will have to let go of your blue pill life"
"not my name…not my name…"
"right…its your choice, anyway to the jumping program, this is to set your mind free, and to let you do as we like to call 'hyper jump'"
"Hyper jump eh? Maybe you could show me it again?"
Morpheus nodded and ran to the edge and jumped off, he went up and over and landed on the next building. He turned "your turn" he yelled.
"right…freeing my mind…that will be easy" Nick said.
Link shook his head and sighed. "here we go again"
"right" Nick said and ran and jumped, at first he felt like he was falling, and then he saw he was nearing the next building he was about to land onto it! His feet tuched the rim of it…and he sliped and fell. Morpheus looked as Nick fell, he ran to try to get him. but failed and Nick keep falling.
'so this is how it ends…them cheep bastered' nick thought, and he watched the ground come close. 'at lest it will end fast' it was all going slow. 'Is this what it feels like when you are about to die…everything slows down?'
Nick closed his eye as he got nearer to the ground, but he didn't hit anything hard, instead he hit something soft, and it threw him up, and he fell to the ground. "Ow…damnit" he said. He watched as Morpheus came down from the top of the build and slammed down to the ground.
"That's the first time anyone's got that far on there first try" Morpheus said.
"Ya…I feel great" Nick said and slowly got up, holding his side. "I feel the best ever"
"it will past faster then it would if you where in the real world, and you don't get as tired now that you know it is all fake" and then it went all white and they where back on the Nebuchadnezzar 2. Nick got up. He still felt the pain…

Later that night, as they where eating, which nick did not eat, Link came out from the control room. "we have company" he said. Kid and Morpheus shot up and ran out of the room. Nick looked confused. He just fallowed.
They where at the bridge, Morpheus was already there.
"Have they already detected us yet?" Kid asked.
"I think they have…" Link said as a screen showed a robot thing that had more then 10 tentacles. And a lot of eyes.
"What are they?" Nick asked
"Sentinels" Link said "they are the lower army of the Machines"
"Then lets take them!" Nick said.
"there too strong for us, we barley survived our last attack" Link said
Morpheus pressed a few buttons, "right" he said "lets turn on the EMP" he said.
"yes sir" he said. He opens a box as he watched a map with blinking dots, then all of a sudden the Ship was pushed forward Nick and the rest jerked forward.
"What the hell" Link said as he looked at the map, there was now a huge dot.
"How the HELL did that get there!" Link said as he started to press buttons. "We got to fight them…"
"Wait whoa whoa-"
"Weren't you the one that wanted to fight them" Kid asked with a cocky smile.
"Shut up kid" he said. "I thought we had a truce or something"
"there are a few who don't care about the truce and want the Humans dead…that's where all the hackers are coming from" Morpheus said "there are even humans helping these machines. That's what I was talking about with civil war, machine agenst machine…and we are in-between it…that why we need the One now more then ever."
"Damnit" nick said more things he has to do.
"All right here we g- hey wait what's this…" Link said looking at the map, "h-hey! There some people to help us"
"Who is it" Morpheus asked
"You wont believe this, but it's the Logos" Link said "they got a few machines to help them too."
"Yes!" Cheered Kid.
Nick saw the screen change into another bridge, and Niobe at the controls
"Morpheus, can you hear me?" She asked.
"Load and clear" he said.
"We saw the machines coming at you and decided to come and help."
Soon the Sentinels that where near the Logo's ship shot out to attack the other Sentinels. Then a huge sentinel came into view.
"Holy shit!" Nick said jumping back.
The huge Sentinel raped its tentacles around the ship. But soon there it was fired on and the tentacles broke off it and it backed up and blew up.
The Sentinels where firing at each other, some rapped them self trying to rip the other one apart. Soon there were parts of Sentinels falling to the ground. There where about 3 Sentinels alive, and one flew away as fast as it could.
