To my faithful reviewers, and new readers alike, here I is (finally!) the final chapters...

THE END OF AN ERA...

That's when Neo remembered: due to large amount of money he had in his pocket, he could bribe the guards! "Hey Twin...thing." He started "How would you like" he quickly counted out half the money "some money!" He smiled in what he thought was a winning way. "Eh...I would rather KILL YOU!"

"But this is Sixty thousand dollars-think how many machine guns that is!"

"Idiot" said Twin one. "In the Matrix money is immaterial-it doesn't matter. Besides we get these machine guns free if you collect 300000 tops of shampoo.

Neo raised one eyebrow.

"We have long hair, we use a lot!"

Neo reappraised the situation. Running over the facts in his head: .....He had these twin guys... They wanted to kill him... They also had strong, soft, silky, hair... And they were proud of it.

"I challenge you to a duel!" Neo sneered.

"Oh yeah?!"

"Yeah"

Oh yeah!?"

"It's what I said wasn't it?" sighed Neo exasperatedly. "I challenge you that you can't tie your hair together an wrench open the door to my cell."

"Ok" said Twin one.

"Hang on," said the more sceptical on. "If we do that...our hair will get split."

"But if you don't do it your face will." Snarled Neo.

It was over in a matter of seconds. The twins were left tied to the door, wailing in agony. Neo was out laughing all the way to the elevator.

He stuck his hand in the way of a closing door and wrenched it open, to find Trinity and Morpheus calmly descending to the entrance.

"You were gonna leave me?" Neo spluttered.

"Nah, we knew you'd get out. Oracle told us." Said Morpheus.

"She actually told you something? Rather than mysteriously hint?!!" Neo asked them, flabbergasted.

"Eh... I just went for the cookies, mainly." Replied Trinity.

At the next level two people barged there way into the lift, clearly having some sort of argument.

"I'm telling you smithy, always, always kick, cos then it doesn't look so bad, you see, and YOU!" the man had spotted Neo. The man was Benius.

"You stole my money!" shouted Benius.

"Yeah well you stole my dignity!" replied Morpheus.

"Well that wouldn't be hard!" smirked Smith.

Neo thought he better intervene before the situation turned into a tacky soap opera. Mind you they were nearly there already. They had the villain, the stupid one, the hero, and the girlfriend. All they needed now was the tragically depressed one, plus someone with an agonising decision to make and they'd be there.

At that moment the elevator grinded to a halt between floors. The lights flickered and they were plunged into darkness.

"Oh I bet no one saw that coming!" snarled Smith sarcastically in the darkness.

"Actually." Said a voice "I did."

The Oracle.

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HERE?" yelped Benius.

"Cookies."

"For the last time that can't be the answer to everything!" said Morpheus.

"Yes it is, and it can" she said calmly, and then nodded at Morpheus "You will find the one-have a cookie!" She next nodded at Trinity "You will fall in love with the one- have a cookie!" Next, Benius's turn "Your money will get stolen by the one- have a cookie! She turned to Neo now very angry "You are the bloody one –Have a cookie!" - You didn't complain at the time after you stuck f a tray of oatmeal and raisin in your mouth, leaving spoon boy with nothing!"

Nobody knew what to say after that. They sat in the darkness, a good half of them wondering who they should eat first. Popular choice went towards Smith. After a while Neo broke the silence

"You know we could just open the hatch in the roof, and crawl down the elevator shaft."

There was a pause then- "Ha! I thought you were serious there for a moment!" "Good one!" "That's pretty funny" "As if we would!" "I knew you were going to say that!"

"No really we could!" Neo pushed open the hatch and climbed on top.

At that the six inhabitants of the lift gasped a collective gasp.

"Neo" "You" "Just" "Can't" "Think" "Of" "The" "Children!"

"Oh stop being such sissies, I'll, I'll (his voice cracked with emotion)" die to get my friends out I will!"

And with that he jumped.

"AAArrrghhhIFEELSOALIVEBUTI'MACTUALLYFALLINGTOMYDEATH.THAT'SODDISN'TITSURELY ISHOULDBEFEELINGAFRAIDBUTI'MNOTBECAUSEI'MSOBRILI-OOFF" yelled Neo.

For our hero, everything went black, in his heart he could feel the love for his friends, his enemies, and the beauty of the rather sacrifice he made for them- it was the most wonderful thing to have done. He saw a light and knew that now he would be congratulated for his deed.

"Oi Neo" said a voice. It was Morpheus. "Like our program?"

Neo sat up he was in a big white area. The construct. Smith, Benius, and the oracle had gone, and Trinity and Morpheus were eating something.

"You mean I went through all that physiological pain, FOR NOTHING!?"

"Yup" said Trinity."Life sucks, Neo. –Have a cookie."

THE END
