Thank you so much for all the support and taking your time to make a breif review. I really appreciate it! :) Also, I might want to add that I changed the title and book cover again. I decided that I wouldn't cram everything into one book. I'm going to make a sequel to this one! But I'm not finished with this one yet so don't worry! There's more to come... XD
Chapter 34
Alpha walked down the hallways, carrying a musical instrument. It was called a monome player, it was very easy to use and it made the most beautiful music. The patients loved to hear her play; it always cheered them up and distracted them from any sort of pain that they were going through. It even distracted her from some of the painful memories of her past.
Alpha shook her head and walked through the door into the medical facility. Everyone's eyes brightened when they saw what she was holding. She carefully set down the monome. Alpha knew that this instrument was very popular a long time ago; she wouldn't be surprised if other programs still used it.
When she pressed a few buttons, the music practically played itself for her, which gave her the opportunity to check the patients' coding while they enjoyed the music. She walked by the younger soldier, who seemed to have made a full recovery. He was sitting on the bed, closed eyes and soaking in every note the monome played.
His eyes opened the moment Alpha took off his disk to examine his code. "Wow, you've recovered faster than I could've predicted." He smiled. Alpha had to admit to herself, he was cute… but she wasn't looking for any types of relationships. She looked deeper into his coding, searching for any more damage. There was none.
She closed his disk and placed it onto his back. "Well, all the damages were fixed. You're good to go." He placed a hand gently on her shoulder. "Thanks Alpha." She tensed when he called her that. She just wasn't used to being called that name anymore. "Um… no problem. But… come see me if you receive any other bad injuries."
He grinned as he got up and took his hand off her shoulder and walked away. "Okay, I'll see you around." Alpha simply walked down the row again, checking each patient's coding. Most of them had made a 100% recovery and they were authorized to leave the facility and return to their normal duties.
Alpha sighed and sat down in a chair. She was bored. It's been a while since the last time she was on the field. Alpha wasn't used to being cooped up inside the hospital, checking each program's coding every cycle.
She wanted to work on the field, and she hoped it was soon, because she was on the verge of having a spaz; which wouldn't help her at all, she was lucky that she wasn't in a mental hospital due to her condition.
Wait a nanocycle. She was 'The Alpha', all she had to do was ask for information about what was going on right now. She didn't care what was going on outside, just as long as it was on the field.
She got up and walked out of the medical center, leaving the monome player where it was to keep everyone entertained. "If anyone wants to be creative and type in any new patterns, feel free. I'm gonna be gone for a little bit, but I'll be back soon." They looked up and nodded as she exited the room.
Alpha marched down the hallways, heading for Chad's office next. He held all the files of everyone, and everything of what is or was going on. She stopped in front of the door to his office and took a deep breath before taking another step forwards. The sensors picked up her movement and slid open silently, welcoming her inside.
Chad stood in front of a large screen, looking at some files about some things that just came up. Alpha lightly stepped forward, careful to not interrupt him… not yet. She silently kept walking up to him and stopped right behind him.
She smirked mischievously under her mask as she lifted her hands and playfully pushed him forward, making sure to scare him. "Boo!" She shouted.
"Arrrrgh!" Chad screamed like a girl, and jumping so high that it was almost impossible. Alpha fell to the ground, laughing hysterically. "Oh man, you should see the look on your face right now. It's priceless!" XD
Chad just stared at her, not from the shock that she had scared him just a few moments ago, but the fact that something had happened. Alpha caught on and stood up. "Sorry, I had to do that." She tilted her head to the side, looking at the screen. "What's that?"
Chad glanced behind his back nervously, like he was trying to think of a way to word something bad, but important. Alpha lowered her head at him. "Chad…" He hesitantly looked up at her. "Alpha's voice lowered in concern and sympathy. "Please tell me." She spoke no louder than a whisper, though it wasn't necessary.
Chad sighed in defeat, then slowly nodded. "Okay… follow me." Alpha couldn't imagine what could possibly be wrong, she tried to change the subject and cheer him up at the same time, giving her extra time to think about what would've went wrong.
"Hey, I heard earlier this cycle that we managed to reclaim Bismuth. Isn't that great? Bismuth is now pronounced the only free city from Clu's clutches. I don't know about you, but I think we should try to free more Cities on the grid."
Chad nodded. "Yeah, we should spread the rebellion to other cities; free each, one by one." Alpha nodded. "Okay, where should we go next?" Chad abruptly stopped and turned to look at her. "We?" He asked. Alpha tilted her head. "Well… yeah. After all, I still am capable of carrying out field missions, no one said otherwise."
Chad turned around and continued walking, Alpha followed. "Well, if we do relocate to other cites, I recommend that we start with Argon City. But we have to be very careful." Alpha was confused. "But… why?" Chad stopped in front of the holographic screen and turned halfway towards her, while the other half of him was still facing the screen.
He took a deep breath to think about a proper way to answer her without getting her too upset. "Well… Clu sent a giant army to take absolute control of Argon. It would be very dangerous if it was the first City that we relocated to."
Alpha thought for a moment. "Well… it's no biggie, it's the Renegade's home. I'm sure he'd still keep fighting. I say we should relocate there immediately." Chad didn't argue right after her orders.
"Um… I'm aware that you're deciding this for the good of the grid and its citizens, but we really need to think about this." Alpha turned and looked directly at Chad. She remembered that since she was 'The Alpha', she was technically the leader of the Resistance.
"It'll be fine Chad. Everyone that will be relocated can take their time to pack and get ready to leave." Chad shook his head. "That's not what I'm nervous about." She stopped and turned back to face him. "What do you mean?" Chad hung his head.
"Clu is… heading for the City as well." Alpha gasped. "Forget what I said, it's crazy." Chad lifted his head. "Really? Oh good, I was worried that you'd…" Alpha interrupted him. "We can't take our time, we need to relocate to Argon… and I mean right now!"
Okay, so Alpha's relocating the Resistance Movement to Argon due to Clu arriving there as well. What do you think will happen next? Expect some new updates soon! Please take some 20 seconds or less to share your opinion on the book/chapter so far and review! :) And remember... TRON LIVES! XD
