He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through
Groove Coverage "Moonlight Shadow"
Morpheus silently left the medical bay, where Neo was still lying unconcionessly. It wasn't necessary to be quiet, as nothing could wake up Neo and Trinity, who was still sitting next to him, paid no more attention to the Morpheus than to the wall. Sighing heavily Morpheus headed towards the corridor to meet Niobe and the rest Logos' crew. News he had had for them weren't the most pleasant ones, but he wanted to be the one to tell them. Morpheus came to the ship exit just in time to see almost all Logos crew coming in.
"Morpheus, what had happened?" - Niobe asked seeing his worried face.
But before Morpheus could answer some kind of shadow appeared behind Niobe's back and whirled past him.
"How on earth did she get here Niobe?" - asked Morpheus furiously, as he recognized the person, who was already at the other end of the corridor.
"She can be quite persuasive, you know." - Niobe replied calmly as she followed Morpheus back to the med bay. The rest of the Logos crew was now listening to the captain of Hammer, thi ship that picked up Nebuchadnezzar crew after Sentinels attack.
"Besides, - Niobe continued, - I had forbidden her to go into the Matrix, just like you always did."
"Ship is safer than Zion?" - murmured Morpheus remembering recent discussion. Now it looked like she had a point. He noticed, that med bay door was slightly opened, what meant that Devil was already there. Well, it wasn't like she had other places to go to.
"What happened to him?" - whispered Niobe, looking at unconscious Neo.
"It seems like he had used too many energy, while stopping the Sentinels." - Morpheus replied silently.
"Stopping the Sentinels? Do you mean he was able to fight them in real world?" - Niobe couldn't hide surprise and excitement in her voice.
Morpheus raised his eyebrow, "You mean you didn't know?"
"How could I? - Niobe asked back. - We lost signal from Nebuchadnezzar and contacted Hammer, as it was the only other ship in this area. All their operator told me was that you were here and wanted to see me."
"Sure. It just looks like I can't think properly for some time already." - Morpheus replied, as one thought was circling around his brain: "How did she know then?"
Devil sat near Trinity and embraced her protectively. "It's going to be OK. Everything is going to be OK." - she whispered.
Trinity shook her head, " No, it's not. It was never meant to be OK. Never. And I just can't stand this anymore."
"Of course you can. You cannot give up, - Somewhere far away Morpheus was saying something Sentinels' attack, but it didn't matter now. - Trinity I know, Trinity he knows, he loves is strong. She can't be broken. So you see, you can't give up. You just can't. Because he loves you, Trinity." Devil whispered passionately, not knowing she was almost repeating words Trinity once said to Neo. It was this memory that somehow gave Trinity strength.
"There is still hope," - she said uncertainly.
"There is always hope. - Devil assured her rising up. - I promise." She walked out of med bay accompanied by Morpheus and Niobe and head towards the Core.
"What do you think you are doing?" - Morpheus asked once they got there.
"Going into the Matrix, - Devil replied, preparing the equipment. - There is still hope."
Morpheus looked at her interrogatively, " And what does this hope have to do with and with the Matrix?"
"Oracle." - she said simply, finishing her preparations.
"And why are you so sure, she is going to wait you eager to answer your questions?"
" Because she has to. Remember, you said to me that every new crewmember had to visit the Oracle and to listen to the prophecy? She still owes me one."
Morpheus shook his head in disbelief, "It's not that simple."
"Let's try. - Devil offered looking straight into his eyes, - Let's try. What do we have to loose?"
"Your lives?" - Niobe suggested.
"What if you were right? - Devil continued. - What if everything really happens for a reason? What if I was wrong and you kept me away from the Matrix for a reason? The time had come."
"Fine, - said Morpheus after a small pause. - But I'm going with you and you'll follow all my orders."
Devil nodded and took her sit.
"Load us up, Niobe"- Morpheus ordered as he plugged Devil in.
Morpheus was almost surprised not to see so well known apartment abandoned, like it was when Neo searched for the Oracle. Oracle's apartments looked as always, the only difference was that there were no potentials sitting in common room. Not hesitating Devil walked into the kitchen, where the Oracle was sitting. Morpheus stayed in the corridor, not really sure what's going on.
"Well, well. Come in. - Oracle said looking at the girl, - Devil, if I'm not mistaken?"
"You're not. - Devil replied coldly. - And now I'm supposed to ask where do you know my name from. But you are not going to answer, are you?"
"Smart girl. - Oracle smiled. - No I'm not."
"Fine. - Devil nodded. - I suppose, you do already know why am I here?"
"I do. - Oracle said. - But you are also supposed to know, that tell everyone only his fate, so."
Devil shook her head:" No, you're not. You tell everyone what he wants to know most."
"Are you sure?"- Oracle asked her a little bit ironically.
"Yes, I'm. Morpheus was obsessed with the prophecy, Trinity felt lonely, Neo was told he was the One and I want to know how to wake up Neo. Simple."- Devil stated.
"Simple? And why are you so sure I'm going to tell you the truth, even if I knew it?"- Oracle asked. "Because you are programmed this way."- was the answer.
"Smart girl. - repeated the Oracle. - How did you know?ยป
"It's oblivious. - Devil said. - Everyone says you've been with the Resistance since the very beginning, what makes about the century. Don't you think, you look quite good for your age?"
Oracle laughed, " Very good, indeed. So, about your prophecy. In fact I had quite an interesting one for you. But if you insist on helping Neo."
"I do." - Devil said sharply.
"Then I guess I have no choice. - Oracle continued. - But don't wait me to tell me about your fate sometime after."
"How can I help Neo?" - Devil interrupted her.
" You can't. - said the Oracle flatly. - He has to do this himself. The problem is, that he doesn't want to wake up. The only thing you can do is to make him want to return to the real world. And crying "Agents!" won't help, believe me. He can still hear you, even though he doesn't want to and he somewhat like reads your thoughts. So be careful while lying to him, he will feel it."
"He won't, believe me." - assumed her Devil turning to leave.
"And I really had very unusual prophecy for you." - absent-mindly said Oracle behind her back. On they way back Devil ignored Morpheus curious looks and said nothing. Her talk with the Oracle replayed in her head, while she was trying to think out how to wake Neo up. When the plug was removed from her head and she opened her eyes, plan was ready. The only problem was that she had to believe absolutely in what she was going to do.
"Hello, Neo - Devil said, as she approached the bed, he was lying in. - I've visited the Oracle and she said you can still hear me. So I decided to inform you, in case you are interested. Oracle said we could still win this war, even without your help. She said you had already done more than enough. She said, - Devil gulped, - she said, we could beat the machines if we are ready to sacrifice our lives. So I came to say "goodbye" to you Neo. Goodbye."
She turned away and went towards the door, where Morpheus and Niobe waited. Neo didn't react at her speech, but Devil didn't wait him to.
"Goodbye, Neo." - Trinity said silently, rising up and following Devil. But after two steps Neo gripped her hard holding her." Trinity, no." - he breathed out.
And she couldn't find how to push through
