Yeah, I know... I've updated chapters faster than this one. Sorry about the wait, I was very busy lately. Well, enough about that, here's my latest chapter. Enjoy! :)

Chapter 35

Paige marched down the hallways of the base, heading for the throne room. As the doors slid open, Paige walked inside, noticing that Pavel was in deep conversation with a guard. Paige stood on the sidelines, patiently waiting for Pavel to finish his conversation.

When he was done talking, he turned away and saw Paige in the corner of his eye. He gasped, and he almost fell out of his chair. Paige lifted an eyebrow. "Um… Pavel, are you okay? You seem awfully tense." Pavel quickly recovered and waved away her worries.

"I'm fine! Don't you have the Renegade to chase around or something?" Paige shrugged and walked out of the room. Nothing new had happened that required her attention. She walked down the hallways towards the elevator to her room.

She wanted to unpack her belongings and get back to work. Paige picked up her data pad and checked her messages. She narrowed her eyes, noticing an edited copy of her assignment to watch Beck. She hesitantly opened the message.

It was nothing too important, this one just asked for her to reply back with her results. She shrugged and sat down on her bed, typing in everything that happened. She made sure they had the whole story of what happened and included details.

Paige had wondered from the start of why Beck was so noticeable and important to bring to Clu's personal attention. Whatever it was, it was either really good, maybe Clu wanted to make him a special offer of joining the army. But wait… the message had included that he was a suspect; it didn't say of what, but it was enough to make Clu suspicious.

This couldn't be good. Whatever it was, it was bad. Paige stood up and walked out of her room, she was going downtown. She wasn't sure why Beck was being accused, but whatever it was, she wanted to find out. And Paige didn't want anything to get in her way.

…

Beck could no longer stare at the sight; he had to get to Tron. Tron had told Beck that Clu wouldn't be looking just for Tron. He had told Beck that he was a major suspect of being the Renegade. Clu knows now that there's Tron, and there's a Renegade.

Beck flipped on his mask, and concealed his suit so he didn't have to wear it. As he jumped and rezzed his bike, he caught a glimpse of concern in Able's eyes as he sped past, heading for the outlands. As he walked into the elevator of the hideout, he felt nervousness rising up inside of him.

He knew that he had to be confident but the truth was he felt nothing but negativity. Beck didn't feel like he was ready to face what was coming his way. The doors opened and welcomed Beck into the large room that overlooked the outlands.

Tron stood by the window, he seemed to be deep in thought. As Beck walked up behind him, he turned around, startled to see Beck. But he recovered quickly. "Oh good, there you are. I was starting to worry that Clu had captured you."

Beck kept a straight face with a little concern for Tron. "Don't worry, I'm here now. Oh, and I'm sorry I snuck up on you." Tron gave off a halfhearted laugh. "Yeah… did you the horizon?" Beck nodded. "Oh yeah I did. I'm terrified, I don't feel like I'm ready for this yet."

Tron gripped Beck's shoulder firmly in a comforting manner. "I know how you're feeling, I feel the same way. But it is happening, and we'll need to train harder so neither of us will feel like that." Beck remembered something.

He took out the half disc and handed it back to Tron. "You're completely healed, I figured you might be missing this. I'm not quitting, I just don't need it anymore. I can use my recoder to change my outfit to that black suit that I've worn before. Besides, Clu knows there are two of us now, why should we bother hiding it?"

Tron narrowed his eyes as he took the disk back and held it in his hand for a while. He eventually smiled and nodded. "That sounds like a good plan, tricking the occupation." Beck grinned and stared at the disk. "Go on, you know you want to. Put it on."

Tron raised an eyebrow at Beck, who shrugged. "What? It was originally yours anyways, besides it looks better on you than it does on me." Tron put the suit back on, closing his eyes as his suit gradually turned from black to white.

Beck smiled. "Yeah, it definitely looks better on you." An idea suddenly came to Beck's mind, it was crazy and Tron would most likely say no, but it was an idea. "Hey Tron, if Clu and Dyson and whoever else, knows that you're alive, why don't the citizens know already?"

Tron looked up at Beck, thinking about that. "I don't know. I couldn't reveal myself back when I had the scars because that would only be a danger to you and me. But now that I'm healed… that changes everything." Beck smiled. "Programs all over the grid would fight against Clu if they knew that you were alive."

Tron held up his hand. "Slow down Beck. It's true that more programs would rebel or be more dedicated to the cause, but we'll have to be more careful. Doing something like that could really upset Clu, who isn't easy to upset. If you ever meet him, you may notice that he's usually very calm."

The way that Tron described Clu sent chills down Beck's spine. The more he heard, the less eager he was to meet Clu, which were pretty low standards already. Clu seemed more… creepy instead of evil. Beck shook his head and tried to get back on topic.

"Okay, I know we'll have to put a lot of thought into this plan, but this could be a great advantage for us." Tron nodded. "That does sound like a good plan. We'll do that eventually… but not anytime soon." Tron leveled his eyes with Beck.

"You remember what I said about Clu suspecting you of being a rebel?" Beck nodded. Tron continued. "Well… be careful, because if he does come for you, it would be when you least expected it." Beck nodded. "Er… got it, I'll be careful."

Tron then turned around. "I suggest now that you meet up with your friends before you start to raise more suspicion." Beck turned and ran out of the room. "Darn it! Zed and Mara will be worried sick when they realize that I'm gone!"

Tron looked back out the window and watched as Beck rode his lightcycle through the outlands, heading for the garage. "Be very careful Beck." Tron said under his breath. Clu wasn't the type of program to underestimate, and Tron knew that from experience.

I want some opinions, who wants to see Alpha next chapter? :)
