"I've decided to make a few changes."
Neo "The Matrix"(draft scenario)
Green light filled the world. She was falling somewhere, unable to move, to cry or even to breath. Then, for a moment, light flashed and she saw someone's face. A man was looking at her with disbelief and . recognition?
"I told you." The Oracle's voice was heard somewhere faraway. Then light flashed once more and she felt familiar metal plug in her head. She was back on the Nebuchadnezzar. Devil removed the plug from her head and looked around. She was back and that could mean only one thing: the Architect had lost.
"What the hell is going on here?" Link exclaimed looking at the monitors. It seemed that the Matrix code was going absolutely crazy. Many symbols were spinning around, filling the whole monitor for a second and then disappearing completely only to form another strange shape.
"Believe me, Hell is organized a lot better than this." Devil said approaching Link and taking a look at the monitors. Her whole body ached and she preferred not to think about recent events.
"Should've remembered that there is no word "normal" for Neo." She thought to herself, remembering the way he pulled her out of the Matrix.
"Relax, Link." That was Neo, already standing near the operator, Trinity by his side. In a moment, Morpheus and Niobe joined them and now all six of them were watching the monitors. And only two understood what was really happening.
"Relax?" Link asked sarcastically, "Well, what about a little explanation first?"
"It will stop in a minute or two," Neo continued, "Just needs a little time to update its files."
"To update files?" Morpheus raised his eyebrow.
Neo turned to him, "Well, it looked like seven million people is a little bit too much to free instantly. So the Matrix received some new orders."
"Like what?" Asked Niobe curiously and a bit mistrustfully.
"Like deleting all agents and stopping to send energy to the machines," Neo smiled mischievously, "They can't shut it down and they can't use humans as batteries any more. All we have to do now is to find people that are ready to be freed. It shouldn't be really hard without the agents."
"And what about Sentinels?" Morpheus asked, looking concerned.
"Destroyed," Neo said as if it was the most obvious thing, "Not only the ones attacking Zion, but all of them."
"And they will have a hard enough time trying to build new without the energy." Morpheus nodded.
"It sounds like the end of war." Niobe said doubtfully.
Trinity, who was keeping silence until that moment, sighed heavily, " Unfortunately, it's just a break, Niobe."
Looking at all the surprised faces, Neo turned to explain, "I told you the Matrix could not be destroyed yet. It would mean death of too many people; those who are not ready to accept the truth, those who would not be able to find their place in this world. Many people. But the Architect can't be destroyed unless the Matrix itself is."
"Why?" Morpheus interrupted, "I can imagine the catastrophe that would happen should all people be freed at once, but what does the Architect have to do with the destruction of the Matrix?"
"Actually," Neo paused, "The Architect is the Matrix."
"Umm, Neo? Are you sure this is possible?" Link managed to ask.
"Yeah," Neo answered, "I'm sure he was just the program once, but he had more than enough time to improve himself. He was originally designed to keep all people under control. That's how he invented the Matrix. But it looks like he took his task too seriously. And in any time now, the program named "Architect" and the program named "Matrix" became the one. I'm dead sure that in no more than a year we will hear about the Architect once again."
"But you killed him." Morpheus stated, confused.
Neo smirked, "Have you ever heard of reserve copies? Or backup files?"
"OK," Morpheus said, "But will you mind if I ask you to explain that very unpleasant feeling I had not long before you pulled us out?"
"Pulled us out without the exit." Niobe noticed.
"That was the Architect's way to say 'Hello!' to me," Neo admitted, "It was not so easy to change something done by the Matrix itself, you know. And about the exit. I guess it was the bonus for defeating Architect."
"So no more agents or Sentinels? " Link asked, just to be sure.
Neo smiled. "For the whole year. And, well, I'm not sure about Smith, he was unplugged, but I think he won't be such a problem."
Devil noticed Neo never used "I" or "we" while he talked about the Architect. Apparently he and Trinity weren't eager to tell others about Trinity's role in this whole thing. Well, Devil sure enough wasn't going to be the one to start crying about this. If they wanted to keep that in secret, they had this right. What bothered her the most now though, were the Oracle's words.
"I told you."
Told whom? Told what? Devil was quite sure that man she saw was the Architect. But why would Oracle and Architect talk about her?
"I'm just the usual girl. I've nothing to do with saving the world. Nothing." She told to herself firmly.
Meanwhile Matrix code returned back to normal and Link immediately scanned it to see what programs had survived.
"Merovingian, his lovely wife," He murmured softly, "Smith, damn him, and the Oracle, of course. Wait a minute! It looks you are invited to the party. The Oracle wants to see you. All five of you."
"When?" Morpheus asked.
"Immediately." Link answered.
"Great," Neo said, "I have some questions to ask her also."
"Umm, Neo?" Niobe said hesitating a little bit, "I hope you remember, you are not on Nebuchadnezzar right now. What about telling the captain where we are going?"
"I suppose he has other thing to care about, "Neo answered moving towards his chair, "He knew we were going in. He wouldn't be here if he wasn't interested."
There was a long pause while they prepared for entering the Matrix.
Then all of a sudden Devil asked, " But who created the Architect himself?"
The world flashed and disappeared.
