READ DARK ONE FIRST!!!!
Summary; Continuation from The Dark One. Neo and co. are on a mission to save a new crew member's brother, but things go horribly wrong. Leading to a discovery that could destroy the crew.
Trinity felt Neo wrap his arms around her, gosh it felt good. Even thought what they were about to pull could legally be called suicide. They flew up, it was amazing none of Neo's descriptions could compare to the real deal. She upholstered her hand gun and was ready to fire and the world blew apart bullets came flying though the window and just stopped before they hit her. Neo looked down at her and smiled. She opened fire not hitting the Agents, of course unless Neo was in the fight the chance off actually hitting an Agent was obsolete. But it drew them away from Zekk.
They entered the apartment though the blow out window. Neo sped past her toward an Agent he moved fast beyond belief. What surprised her about the Agent he "fought"(Neo was beating the Agent so bad that it wasn't even a fight) was black, and the other new Agent who at the moment was fighting a double attack by Gizmo and Byte. Those two despite everything they made a good team. Morpheus and Teeky were ganging up on Agent Veitch, Teeky was fighting with her brother in her mind, she knew it.
"Trinity get my brother OUT OF HERE!!!" Teeky yelled. Got it. Trinity began running toward the next room. On their flight Neo had told her which room Zekk was in. The room was suddenly lit by a bright light as one of the Agents got deleted.
"Let's go," whispered a soft voice next to her. Neo! Not only was he fast he was quite too! It was pretty creepy sometimes.
They burst in though the door by a well timed kick by Neo. Trinity held her gun ready for to kill. A man sat on the sofa a gun pressed against a very scared looking Zekk's head. The man was handsome with blond hair and brandy colored eyes. But his beauty was ruined by a cruel sneer on his face. A look of shock passed over Neo's face and was quickly replaced by anger.
"Why hello computer geek and goth brood." he sneered,"You want this guy don't you? Alive right?"he threw back his head and laughed, not a nice laugh either."Well we can't have what we want now can we?"
"NO!" She knew what was going to happen and obviously so did Neo he sped forward to try to save Zekk's life.
BANG! A single shot ended Zekk's life. That guy had murded him in cold blood! Zekk slumped back down his eyes rollong back, his blood staining the old tattered green sofa.
"You son of a "Neo began
"Tisk Tisk Tommy." the blond man mocked. Then he opened fire on THEM! Trinity felt the familair flow of adrenalin flow though her veins. But with Neo by her side she would not get hit. He extended his hand to block the five bullets headed toward them. But she still ducked, old fighter instincts, thank God she did.
The bullets began to slow as if in water. Then for no reason the sped forward again, not as fast as before but still fast enough to kill you make no mistake. Neo took in a quick breath and moaned. Then she noticed it. A bloody hole in his hand. He looked down at his hand with a horrified expression on his face.
"Run."he whispred,"run..." They took his advise they ran like all the evils in hell were after them. She heard the man's laughter ringing
"RUN RUN IT MAKES IT INTRUSTING!!" he cackled.
"We're going!"She yelled at the rest of crew. Neo blasted the two remaining agents into a wall, killing their host bodies.
"WHAT ABOUT MY BROTHER?!"Teeky asked hysterically. But she knew it she just needed to hear it. She hoped what she knew would be deemed wrong.
"HE'S DEAD I COULDN'T SAVE HIM ALRIGHT?! AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SAVE OUR OWN FREAKIN SELVES IF WE DON"T GET OUT NOW!!!" Neo screamed, he was scared,angry and in pain.
"No." Teeky whispered.
"Let's GO!"Byte yelled as she smash a window in with her elbow. She jumped out first followed by Gizmo then by Morpheus.
"Trin Go!" he yelled because he didn't know what Teeky was going to do, right now she was sobbing hysterically could she get her head together in time. She didn't argue as she jumped out the window but she hoped Neo would get out off there and Teeky too. She couldn't loose Neo now, not now. The sea air bit at her as she jumped the distance between the buildings. As she landed she heard gun shots from the building she had just left.
"NEO!!!"
"Teeky we got to get out of here! NOW!" Neo yelled.
"My brother, my bro.." she whispered.
"Not now, not now." he hissed under his breath. He was getting ready to grab her and jump out the window. When three shots rang out, all off them missed by a long shot, but it seemed to break Teeky out of her grief long.
"Neo?!"
"GO! GO! GO!"
She ran though the smashed window and jumped. Just then the blond murder gun spit out a few more slugs. Okay so he couldn't stop them, but he could dodge them. Time seemed to slow and he moved fast so he felt sluggish. He successfully dodged all the bullets, all off which would have caught him in the head or chest(where had this guy learned how to shoot?!). He moved to the each side dodging each slug better than any Agent could have.
He stood up right and fire at Patrick who's face was twisted in an angry scowl, but he mimiced Neo's move. It was impossiable! Freakin impossiable!
Patrick threw his head back and laughed. He really should be more observant, becuase on the wall behind him Neo had just turned all the nail that held it up into toothpicks. Neo allowed a smirk to cross his mouth. Patrick realized that something was up but it was too late for he had just nudged wall down on that murder.
He ran and flew out the window he chose not to push his luck with Patrick, not yet anyway.
He landed quietly on the top of a near by building. He was quickly surrounded by his fiend. Trinity ran up to him and for a second or two he just held her.
"I thought you were dead," she whispered
"We almost were."Teeky piped in. Her eyes were red he knew she had been mourning her brother."I'm sorry I nearly got you killed Neo, I wasn't thinking."
"Can we save this for later? I'm too young and too cute to die!" Byte exclaimed
"Morpheus? Please can I shoot her. Puh-leaze?!" Gizmo begged.
"Yeah I agree with Byte." Neo said,"Let's bail."
"Neo,"Byte whispered,"He's like you. He can really hurt you so you can't heal your self. Who is he Neo?"
"A person I would rather forget but I'll tell all of you later."
"We're in deep crap aren't we?"
"A mountain Byte. A freaking mountain."
Neo heard the now familiar whir sound and sat up. His hand hurt like hell. There was a hole in his hand. If not for the blood you would be able to see yeah though that hole. All around him he heard moans and groans as the others came to conscience.
"Nasty." Tank said looking at Neo's hand.
"Check the others first."
"Already did not in much better shape. Teeky's in shock. I feel for her I really do." Tank said remembering Dozer.
"Tank spend some time with her." Morpheus said from behind them,"You know the feeling, and comfort comes best from those who it."
"Yeah." he said and moved off.
"Well need to look at that hand. It's the most serious physical injury." In a way that was a relife. No one else had got shot. He guessed it was alot of broken bones and black eyes.(Byte had a real shiner)
"I think when we get you patched up we shall take a trip to the Oracle. Plus we have three new recruits who might also hold some keys to this new enemy." Trinity must have told him about Patrick. Not yet..Not yet...
Byte was worried that the guy Trinity had described would show. Really worried he was Neo's match. Neo their trump card had a match. But who knows? Maybe this Oracle lady could help out. She was suppose to all know alot. It was worth a shot.
They enerted a old building. Morpheus nodded to a old man with a beard. Was he some kind of gaurd or was Morpheus just being a nice guy. Either seemed quite possable to her.
She elbowed Neo in the side.
"Who's the dude with the beard?" she asked
The taller man looked down at her."I don't know anything bout him." The answers always managed to amaze her.
The stepped into an elevator that she trusted as much as she did an Agent. The rode up in silence. Neo's words echoed in her mind Hey, that lady can be deceptive. Don't trust what she says to closely. Don't under estsimate her.
The exited the elevator and Byte was in surroundings she had only seen in the news. It was were shootings acoured. There goes that famous suburbia open mindedness again. But she did inch her hand near her handgun. The reached a door way and a woman opened it. She reminded her off a nun or something.
"Ah we have been expecting you." she said."Byte follow me." Dude!
"Umm sure, great." Real smooth.
She lead her though a room were there were a bunch a kids. One was bending spoons with his mind, he was a white kid what was he doing in Eastern digs? They all looked at her, but she felt like they were looking though her. It gave her the creeps.
The lady gestured into a kitchen? Okay well now she had seen everything. And the Oracle reminded her of a Grandma instead of whatever she was suppose to be.
"Hello dear.The girl with many names, Renee, Paleshyson, and your name now Byte."
"Dude!"
The lady chuckled softly."Well I needed to gain your trust somehow? Ironic is it not that you would figure you would trust me the most."
"I don't trust alot off people."
"No you don't. You've been hurt before. Since you were a little kid you haven't trusted people. And like them less then you trust them. I don't blame you child, I really don't. But you are loyal to humanity, mostly because of religion."
"Oh wow..."
"Kiddo you're a special. You've know it your entire life just didn't know what. You see when ever the 'One' appears he has a sort of sidekick a person a deacade younger who can predict the future. It's your calling child."
"So I'm a sidekick that's my destiny. Sorry if I don't jump for joy."
The Oracle chuckled."You have many roles in life.We all do. Don't let one dictate the others. You have other roles such as a wife you will eventually become. The captian of a ship. You have a bright future trust in it. Those you trust you defend with your life and eventually many will trust you more than you can imagine."
"Thank you miss Oracle? That's not right is it?"
"A good soul my child a good soul. One that not even the big bad world could corrupt. Goodbye kid."
She smiled and nodded.
"Hey you couldn't tell me who I'm gonna get hitched too?"
More laughter. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Uh-Oh."
She left with one thought on her mind. Not Gizmo puh-leave not Gizmo!
Gizmo leaned against a wall and tapped his. He wanted out these kids were seroiusly freaking him out. Why couldn't he wait with Neo and the others. This was not fair! Well life isn't fair sucker! A phrase that was law at his old high school.
"You didn't kill her did ya?" he hissed at Byte as she left the waiting area.
"Bite me!"
"I'd get sick!" It's shameless the way we flirt.
"Hello Gizmo nice to meet you. Glad you've decided to join me. I do believe it's not how you would expect a lil ol' lady to talk."
"Naw lady it's actually pretty cool."
"I know. You know why you're here so let's not beat around the bush. You're afraid that I'm gonna tell you 'sorry kid you going to die'. You will die everyone does but if truly understand death isn't the end it's the beginning of a brand new adventure, hope by then you'll see it that way. But here I'm gonna tell you a lil' of what's gonna happen. You'll bring hope kid there is something bout you. Wether you believe it or not."she lit a cigarette and continued."Kid I won't lie to you. You are going to get the crap kicked out of you. But you'll have someone, she will give you hope. She'll teach you how to laugh again, and you, teach her how to trust without each other you'll be lost. Also never believe a word that an Agent tells you."
"Thanks I'll keep all that in mind."
"I hope you do and goodluck Rainer."
He took on last look at the lady who scared him more than any Agent. Rainer sacred by a lil ol lady!? Dude you are so pathetic! Well they had never met the Oracle!
Teeky looked at the old lady who was suppose to help her. She reminded her of her aunt.
"Hello Jennie, nice to meet you. Please sit down." the Oracle welcomed her with.
"Uh- Thanks." she perched on the end of the chair. Not knowing what to expect. And she thought she had seen everything since she entered the Real World.
"You are confused, scared and angry, all at the same time. I'm sorry about your brother."
"Did you know it was gonna happen?!" she yelped,"Why didn't you do anything?! he could be alive!"
Suprisingly the older women didn't raise her voice but there was somrething in her eyes."Teeky if I had told you and the rest of the crew. You know what would have happened? Neo,Morpheus,Gizmo and you would have died. But that is not all Byte and Trinity, Tank too would have never been the same. How could I do that? Answer me that."
"I see your point." she mumbled looking down at her feet.
"But you don't understand it."
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PLAY GOD!"
She smiled at her. " Do you think I make these choices by myself?"
"Whoa..."
"I will not go any further. Sorry kid. But you know what? You are gonna be famous. You will never be forgotten. Remember what's right and protect those you care for."
"That's all?"
"Sorry but that's it."
"Bummer. Can you at least tell me who I'm going to marry?"
"Sorry you die a virgin."
Neo tapped his foot he was nervous he hoped the Oracle could give him so answers. On their new enemy. Well maybe new wasn't the word for it.
"The Oracle wants you." Teeky said coming out of the familair hallway. She seemed down about something. Well he had been pretty upset to when he had came out of the Oracle's kitchen with the message he or Morpheus would die.
He stood up and walked down the hall. When he passed the room with the other potetials the spoon kid looked up at him and smile. Strange kid but then again those are the ones who might end up saving you, you never know.
"Have you told them yet?" She asked as he entered the kitchen.
"Ahh No." He admitted.
"Why haven't you? You ashamed?" The Oracle asked.
"It's not something you broadcast."
"You'll probably have to kill him, you know that already don't you?"
"I really don't care, he deserves it. He's a murderer, killed Zekk in cold blood. No creature like that deserves pity."
"So you could kill your own brother?"
"Yeah I could, and will."
