Chapter 10: Beck
"Tron?" beck asks looking at the older program "hm?" Tron replies flicking through images on his disk "can I take leave from training?" Tron turns around and clamps his disk on his back "sure I know I've kept you from your job plenty of times" Tron says and sierra looks at the two of them "well I can scout the square or something" she says pulling up her helmet and walks onto the balcony looking around a bit and Tron watches her "she reminds me of someone but who?" Tron asks and turns to see beck gone he sighs and starts training on his own. Meanwhile Beck had reached the transport station. He was going to board till he saw two soldiers were checking everyone's disks. He knew he they checked his disk they would discover he's the renegade. "Hey" says a program with silver-red utility lights and he walks up to beck "lemme guess you don't want them poking around in your disk either do you? well follow me and I'll get you on no worries" as the guards argue with a green program beck and the silver-red program sneak aboard and beck sighs with relief as the train safely takes them to argon park as beck leaves the train the program that helped him waves a disk in the air "no! that's my-" beck says and bows his head "great beck you just lost everything" he mutters under his breath and heads to work after his shift is over he races back to Tron tower where Tron gives him a disk "it doesn't work" beck says annoyed "that's because its fake" Tron says
"can't sierra make me a new one?" beck asks "Beck it's the same problem when you asked me to restore Zea to her original programming, it's information that can't be recovered." Sierra answered. "So what's going to happen if I don't get my disk back?" Beck asked. "Everything you know and remember will be forgotten. Your memories will start vanishing." Tron answered. "Wait so I'll forget everything? Even Zea?" Beck exclaimed. "That's why we're going to get your disk back, except you're not going alone." Tron said as he changed his grid suit to the one he uses under the identity of Rinzler except this time the circuitry lights were white instead of red. "sierra" Tron says looking at her "yes?" she says and Tron tosses her a data chip sierra nods and pockets it "come on beck lets go" Tron says and they run outside clambering onto light cycles and they ride to a darker part of the grid "Pergo's the original settlement of Argos before the war this was a boom town" Tron informs beck as they enter the city "Now it's just a garbage heap. We'll search in the pawn shops." Tron finished.
They had already searched three shops and Beck hoped this one would finally lead to answers. Tron kept his helmet on so no one would recognize him. While Beck searched the shop Tron was questioning the pawn shop keeper. "You didn't answer my question." Tron said in a slightly angry voice. "Wait so you're asking me if I have real identity disks?" the pawn shop owner asked in shock "please we've been to three shops already this is very important please if you know anything tell us" beck says to the shop keeper "alright I know when I see a program in trouble lemme ask around" the store keeper says "we'll come with you" Tron says "alone sorry that's the way it's gotta be but there's an energy canteen around the corner I'll meet you there my names cobalt its luck you found me because here in Pergo's you can't trust anybody" while cobalt leaves beck and Tron head over to the 'energy canteen' cobalt spoke of as their walking Tron retracts his helmet "he's lying" he says and beck retorts "who cobalt the only solid lead we've got so far" "can't trust them all Tron replies somewhat quieter "In case we don't find your disk we need to prepare you for your memory loss." Tron explained, "It's a glitch, you'll never know when it's going to happen. One minute you're fine, the next you'll be forgetting your own name. You'll recover after the first few times."
"And after the first few times?" Beck asked, afraid of what the answer is. "Permanent amnesia you won't remember a thing" Tron replies "well it's not going to come to that we're gunna find the program that did this to me and put him outta business" Tron pulls up his helmet and says "beck we're being followed" as programs appear "you mean surrounded" beck says as the programs close in "now we're not here to fight just passing through" Tron says "this is our territory no one comes in without paying first" one of the programs say ignoring Tron and the programs grab their disk and beck an Tron engage in a fight but while Trons fighting a few of them beck freezes "where am I? What's going on?" he says and one of the programs nod "Grab him" it says just as they are about to grab him a white identity disk whirs thru the air derezzing the programs. Beck looks up to see a siren program land in front of him. Quickly she throws down a smoke pellet, allowing smoke to fill the area. Seeing they were blinded by the smoke she grabbed Beck by the arm. "Hurry this way!" she yelled. Tron ran after her when she said this. When the smoke cleared the programs saw Beck, Tron, and the siren were gone. Turns out she led the two onto the roof of one of the buildings "I think I just had my first glitch" beck says thinking out loud "we should keep moving" Tron says behind his helmet "oh but I'm glad you care" beck says as Tron walks over to the siren program "why did you help us?" he asks her "cause you needed it" she says glancing at beck "your welcomed by the way. I'm Lux." "I'm-I'm beck" beck stammers and places a hand on Trons shoulders "and this is my…friend" he says referring to Tron "strays" she says looking at them "I'm not a stray yet" beck says defensively "well it's only a matter of time" lux says ""let's go ill help you I know my way around Pergos" and she leaps off the rooftop onto another "well at least if my memory fades the last thing I'll remember is her" he says a near grin on his face "focus beck" Tron says and they follow lux they head to an energy canteen Once inside Beck spotted a familiar program sitting in the back. It was the very same program that had stolen his disk.
"That program back there, he's the one that stole my disk." Beck said quietly. Lux looked toward the program slightly, trying not to reveal to the program that she was looking at him. "That's Galt. He's a thief like most programs here in Argon city. I have no doubt in my mind that he stole your disk." Lux replied. Beck continues to watch Galt and then he disappears; beck Tron and lux follow him chasing him into a back hall way Galt tries to escape through a door but it was lock "Galt!" beck yells and Galt turns around scared "I never got your name last time we met when you stole my disk!" "I-I don't know what you're talking about. What disk?" Galt stammers as Tron pulls out his disk and holds it to galts throat "looks alot like this one" Tron says and galt raises his chin "ok I took it but I don't have it anymore" "who did you give it to?" Tron asks "you think I'd tell you he's not as polite as you two" galt lets out a small scream and beck, Tron, and lux notice a disk still clamped by a hand that ran through galt middle the disk vanishes and galt derezzes. Quickly Lux, Tron, and Beck Ran outside to pursue the program they pulled out their batons to form their light cycles. They were gaining on the program until beck unfortunately started losing his memory. Because of this he didn't know he was heading for one of the cycles light streams "beck look out!" lux yelled but it was too late beck crashed into the light trail derezzing it. Beck fell on the ground unconscious. "Beck!" Tron yells turning his bike around and getting off turning it back into a baton Lux was trying to revive beck with no luck she looked at Tron when he pulled up. "We need to take him back to my place. He's badly hurt and needs medical attention" Lux says "how far away is it?" Tron asks "not too far we can both carry him and we'll do fine" lux answered. With that Tron nodded and helped lux carry the unconscious program to her apartment. When they get to her apartment Lux heals beck using a tool "without your disk this is the best I can do she says and he looks around scared
"where am I? Who are you people?" then he notices Tron "why are you hiding your face?" beck asks Tron "beck you have to remember me! Don't you remember Sierra or Zea? What about the revolution?" Tron yelled realizing beck may have permanent amnesia but he had to try and make him remember "what revolution? Who's Zea and Sierra" beck asked not remembering "beck Tron started but didn't get to finish because he was knocked out by the program they were chasing earlier the program retracted its helmet to reveal himself as Cobalt. Beck was confused as to what was going on but lux put a hand on his cheek and made him look into her eyes "everything's going to be ok beck" she assured him. Cobalt and lux lead beck and an energy cuffed Tron to the top of the tower the whole way there cobalt fills becks head with lies and false memories making beck think Clu is the good guy and Tron and the revolution are the evil ones. "told you in Pergos you can't trust anyone" cobalt says and encuffs Tron to a rail on the tower and lux tries to remove Trons helmet as cobalt led beck towards a beam of light "his helmet won't come off" lux announce and cobalt turns around "forget it we have bigger things to worry about" he says "see that light?" he asks beck "that's where your friends are gunna meet us we're taking you home" "beck no!" Tron yells having awoken "that's an emergency beacon to summon the army!" "I am part of Tessler's army Cobalt told me so" beck says glancing at Tron "beck! No their lying to you!" Tron says but lux counters him "don't listen to this traitor beck you're an officer in Tessler's army. You just lost your disk if you go back with cobalt you'll get it back" "No she's lying beck they both are!" Tron yells "enough!" cobalt yells and grabs his disk as lux grabs his arm "don't if you derezz him you could lose becks trust" she says "how dare you question me!" cobalt says grabbing lux's wrist and squeezing it causing lux to cry out in pain "watch him until I get back" cobalt says leading beck away closer to the beacon
"lux you have to let me go cobalt's taking beck to be derezzed!" Tron says and lux sighs "no repurposed my job was to follow you until beck completely lost his memory then he'd be easier to take and it worked" "free me your own life is in danger cobalt derezzed galt he almost derezzed me soon it will be your turn!" lux shakes her head "no your wrong cobalt would never hurt me, loves me!" she says walking over to Tron and looking at his helmet "you are you trying to convince?" Tron says and lux grabs her wrist and shakes her head unclamping her disk and cutting loose Trons bonds just as a recognizer appears above them "there they are beck you'll be home soon" combat says "back away from him cobalt" Tron says and cobalt turns around and glares at Tron "is this the disk you're looking for?" cobalt says pulling up his helmet and runs toward Tron a red disk in one hand and a blue disk in the other. Cobalt throws the red disk at Tron and Tron knocks it aside and lunges at cobalt as they continue to fight Lux watches them from above. Tron manages to make cobalt drop both disks and cobalt grabs a light-baton that he hid in his suit, He tries attacking Tron once more but Tron knocks the baton from cobalt's hand and it lands near beck's feet Tron attacks cobalt knocking him to the ground and forcing cobalt's helmet to retract just as Tron is about to derezz cobalt he notices beck behind him holding cobalt's staff.
Tron slowly backs off "derezz him he's the enemy" cobalt shouts beck shakes his head his eyes wide as cobalt shouts "do it I command you!" "I know your still there beck; the memory loss hasn't taken all of you, killing is just not your way" with those words Tron retracts his helmet revealing his true identity and beck backs away scared "Tron" cobalt says in disbelief "he's alive!" lux whispers "this is more than just the uprising beck your my friend, I didn't say it before because I didn't think I could but that was wrong of me we are friends be who you are you don't need your memories for that" Tron collapses from the wounds he got battling cobalt and cobalt stands up visibly angry "what are you doing? You work for Tessler!" "I'm not a killer. I don't derezz programs." "To bad…because I do!" cobalt shouts and picks up the blue disk "I thought I had something with the Renegade, but now I have TRON!" cobalt raises his disk and goes to derezz beck but Tron manages to grab the disk from cobalt "beck your disk!" Tron shouts and throws the disk to beck and beck catches it clamping it back onto his back instantly his memories return "guess what? I'm back" beck knocks cobalt unconscious as the recognizer hovers above the area shining its spotlight on beck and Tron "we got to go!" beck says wrapping an arm around Trons shoulders and tries to help him stand
"we can't leave cobalt he knows your identity" Tron says "then we take him with us" beck replies "bring me where renegade?" cobalt says laughing as beck notices energy cuffs linking him to cobalt a split second later a disk whirs through the air and slashes cobalt in half derezzing him, beck and Tron look at where the disk came from and watches as lux catches it and jumps from her hiding spot landing in front of them she looks at Tron her eyes filled with sadness "you being alive changes everything" she says She picked Cobol's disk and handed it to Beck. "Destroy Cobol's disk. I'll hold the soldiers off." she said. With that she took with her staff to fight the red programs. Beck looked curiously at the disk and felt something else. He slid the disk to the right slightly to discover there was a white disk behind and it wasn't just any disk, it was Lux's. Instantly Beck knew what was going to happen. "No!" he yelled as he tried to run after her. Though Tron quickly held him back and said "She's sacrificing herself so we can escape!" Beck watched Lux defeated as many of the soldiers she could. For a moment instead of seeing Lux he saw Zea with her blue circuitry lights. He knew he was seeing this because Lux was sacrificing herself just like Zea did to insure he would be safe. Finally the fate to fall upon Lux had come; a soldier landed a deadly blow on Lux.
She fell to the ground, pixels falling off her deteriorating body. She closed her eyes and derezzed. Beck had to turn away from what he had seen, that was the second person that gave up something for him, and Zea gave up her free will and Lux, her life. Tron leads beck to a pool of melt-down liquid data; and there Tron holds out lux's disk activating the holo-imager to show lux's head view "she sacrificed herself to save us that's who lux really was a hero" he throws lux's disk into the melted data "she also became a friend" beck added "I remember what you said to me back there, got a little emotional huhn? Well I won't hold it against you" "a long time ago I misjudged someone" "Clu?" "I let friendship cloud my judgment and paid a heavy price but I didn't misjudge you beck; with you I chose well" beck looks at lux's disk smiling as it shatters sending data dust into the sky.
A note from Supertinagirl6: Alright here we go. For everyone that is asking questions here are my answers. I write this small length because I am comfortable with it. Zea's voice is messed up from repurposing because the codes in her disk were deleted and replaced, some of those codes being her voice codes. Sierra's story will be revealed in time.
A note from BeckTheProgram: Hello fellow users! Just a small thing from both I and my co-writer to close this chapter.
