Chapter 8

Flynn

Silence reigned in the room as the two Flynn's watched each other.

Raf's mouth opened and closed multiple times, but he was unable to say the questions he wanted so dearly to ask.

Thankfully, he had his two friends here.

"How are you here after all these years?" Jack asked.

"Time passes differently here than out in the real world," Flynn shrugged, "I've been stuck in here for a long time. Then Sam got stuck in here as well,"

"But…that doesn't make sense," Raf started, "Dad was out a few months ago…I saw him! And Mom!"

"They got out," Flynn muttered, "They made it to the portal and escaped,"

Raf frowned.

"So why didn't you go with them?" he asked softly.

"I wanted to, Raf," Flynn said, kneeling down and putting a gentle hand on Raf's shoulder, "But something came up,"

"What came up?" Miko asked.

"CLU," Flynn growled, "CLU came up,"

"As you've seen," Beck started, "CLU has pretty much taken over. He attacked Flynn and Tron, causing Tron to be severely injured and Flynn to flee to the Outlands,"

"He left me for dead," Tron replied bitterly, "He dragged me onto a slave ship and ordered the pilots to derezz me once we got out to the Outlands. I was smuggled out by a sympathetic Program who later betrayed me…but I won't go into details, seeing as he cannot bother us anymore,"

"After Tron was taken away, CLU started destroying innocent Programs, and the resistance started," Flynn added sadly, "But it was quickly squashed. Some of the Programs escaped, and a friend of mine smuggled Quorra, your mother, Raf, to me. I trained her as my apprentice and she learned much."

Raf cocked his head, confused. What did he mean by that? His mom wasn't a Program…

Was she?

"Cycles later, I found Beck and started training him…but my wounds caught up with me and I nearly died from them," Tron continued, "CLU found me when Beck and I went to get my wounds healed…I was separated from Beck and repurposed. I wasn't Tron anymore, I was Rinzler,"

"Then Sam arrived," Flynn smiled, "Quorra saved him from the Games and brought him to me. We headed towards the portal, which is open for about eight hours outside world time…but CLU was waiting for us there. I had to re-integrate with him and it nearly killed me. The both of us had gotten too powerful to be reunited. Our fields rebounded off one another and threw us both in opposite directions, resulting in a massive explosion that destroyed much of the formations surrounding the portal. Tron found me in the Sea of Simulation and pulled me out,"

"After I got some sense knocked into me," Tron chuckled darkly, "I looked right at you during that dogfight and I shook off CLU's repurposing, attacking CLU and ending up crashing into the Sea,"

"And I found them both staggering around while I was running an errand for work," Beck finished, "Your parents made it out, Raf, but your grandfather was stuck in the Grid again. Sam thought he was dead…and when the three of us saw the Portal open…we knew he was back,"

"Someone had sent out a false message about me being alive," Flynn said, "Tron and Beck both went into the city, they found Sam and Quorra both being taken by Black Guards…Quorra escaped, but Sam is still in CLU's clutches,"

"We've got to save him!" Raf cried, "And we've got to find mom!"

"And we will," Flynn promised, "Trust me, I want my son and daughter-in-law to be safe too, Raf,"

"Hold up," Jack interrupted, "You said that a sympathetic program smuggled Quorra out of the city…right?"

"Right,"

"How did she get into the Grid?" Jack asked.

"Ah," Flynn sighed, "Very observant of you…?"

"Jack,"

"Very observant of you, Jack," Flynn corrected, "Now, to answer your question….Quorra never entered the Grid,"

"What!?" the three kids asked in unison.

"If she never entered the Grid…" Miko started, "Then that means she's not human…"

"If…If Mom isn't human…then what is she?" Raf asked.

"And that's where we get to the interesting part," Flynn said, looking down at his grandson, "She's a program…an Isomorphic Algorithm, better known…"

"As an ISO," Tron finished, "The last of her kind…until now,"

"Me," Raf started, "I'm…an ISO?"

"Half ISO," Tron corrected, "You are still half User,"

"Half-Breed," Defcon's gravelly voice hissed in Raf's head.

And that's what he was.

A Half-Breed.

Half human, like Dusk.

But he wasn't half Cybertronian or half Cybreian…

He was half Program. Half ISO.

"Half-Breed," Raf whispered sadly.

Flynn gently slid Raf's sleeve down a bit, revealing the odd birthmark as it pulsed faintly.

"This marks you as an ISO, Raf," Flynn said quietly, "You are a living, breathing miracle. But also very dangerous,"

"Why?" Raf asked.

"Users…especially a Flynn…have special, unique powers on the Grid," Flynn started, "You being Half ISO…I think that goes up quite a bit,"

"So…what kind of powers we talkin' about?" Miko asked.

"For one, your speed, agility, strength, and durability are increased substantially compared to that of a Program," Flynn said, "A Flynn however, is able to manipulate the Grid itself,"

"How would you do that!?" Miko demanded.

"I made CLU didn't I?" Flynn asked, "I recreated the Grid. Raf…if he puts his mind to it…could do pretty much anything in here,"

Raf's eyes widened behind his visor.

He was that powerful!? Him, the smallest in his school for as far as he could remember...

He could reshape this world?

Flynn suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Oh! I forgot!" he exclaimed, "Come here, Raf,"

Raf stepped towards his grandfather.

"What is it?" Raf asked.

"There's someone I want you to meet," Flynn said, placing a hand on Raf's back.

Raf followed him into a room. And on a simple couch reading, was a black haired, female Program.

As soon as Raf set foot into the room, the Program on the couch looked up. Raf's eyes widened.

She had his face. It was much paler…but it was still his.

"Flynn?" the Program asked, getting up, "What…"

She then noticed Raf.

"Oh my…" she breathed, her ice blue eyes widening, "Raf?"

Raf nodded, tears starting to brim as he ran forwards into her arms.

"Mama," he cried, "You're safe!"

She rocked him back and forth, sobbing as she did.

"I have found you at last," Quorra whispered, burying her head into his hair.

So now the family is starting to get back together piece by piece. Tron and Beck found Quorra wandering around in Argon City near the garage where Beck works, Flynn had asked them to find her after they came back with news that she had escaped. They got Quorra into the house before they rescued the kids.

Now all we have to do is get Sam and then run back to the portal before time runs out.

Anyway, hope you liked it. If you did, please R&R! :)
