The Dark One 3
"It isn't so much matter of defeating him as it is, of converting him to our side." Trinity assessed
"Can't and won't happen." Neo corrected, Patrick wasn't interested in what was right only power and money, and he already had them both, and what was right had never meant anything to him.
"How can you be sure?"
"I-uh asked the Oracle" He hated lying but also announcing that their greatest enemy was his brother didn't appeal to him anymore than lying to them. Across the dining area Byte arched her eyebrow. Damn that kid she knew he was lying, but she was smart enough to not say any thing.
"I wouldn't want with us anyway." Teeky spat out bitterly, remembering her own brother. Would she hate him if she found out his brother had killed hers? Then again when he found his brother he would kill him, and not just for Zekk's murder.
"Yeah I agree with Teeky, the guy's scum, doesn't deserve the air he breaths." Gizmo added. Trinity remained silent as if thinking about something that had happened before, something she didn't like, Neo could read the expression on her face, and it worried him, what was she hiding? It couldn't be anything more than he was, everyone needed to keep their own secrets, the truth could kill.
"I still don't get were this guy came from, ya know? He just popped up, I mean is he mentioned in the prophecy?" Gizmo continued.
"Wow, he finally asked a question that stumped me." Byte commented dryly.
"All I know is that I'm the one that's got to stop him."
"You aren't doing it alone." Trinity snapped, and everyone in the room nodded in agreement, even Gizmo.
"Though I recommend we try to come up with a plan, before we take this suicide mission." Tank added. Gizmo though broke out into laughter, "Plan?! We don't need no stinkin plans!" Only Byte began to giggle, everyone else groaned, including Neo. But it didn't look good, but did it ever he though grimly.
Byte paced around the Neb's deck like a caged animal. Twenty million question were spinning around her head, sometimes bumping together making things even more confusing. One of the main one was what was Neo hiding? To some more teenage related problems. She wanted to kick something badly, old soccer player habits, but a good way to get rid of frustrations. She was pacing so fast that she didn't see Gizmo walk right in front of her.
"Hey! Watch where ya going!" She snapped, she was in a mood.
"I wasn't the one looking at my feet."
"So you should have moved!"
"Oh what?! Make way for the Princess?"
"Yeah why not?"
"Why you little.." He never did get to finish his sentence because the Neb hit something or another and sent them flying of their feet. Landing in a tangled mess on the floor. With Byte right on top of Gizmo.
"Blasted ship." She said quickly, though she could feel her cheeks turning red. And to her surprise, he was blushing too. She quickly sat up, in one rushed movement. It was an extremely awkward moment to say the least.
"Uh-yeah." She nodded quickly. Why was her heart beating so fast, it didn't make sense it was Gizmo, annoying Gizmo. But it was Gizmo, why did she though have butterflies in her stomach. It didn't make sense, and then he began leaning in and they kissed. But she liked it , a lot. When they finally stopped,
"I hate you."
"I hate you too."
Then they kissed again.
Neo and Trinity were walking around checking for damage, they had run into some rubble, which had been the remains of Camelot, a ship that had been lost three months earlier. The captain Tech, had been cocky but always cautious, but the sentinels, had some how managed to track them down, they had been hoping that by some miracle they had survived, but it just didn't work out that way.
"Teeky mentioned Tech before, didn't she?"
"Yeah, he was a good person. I worked with him before." Once again she was talking about the past he knew nothing about.
"Yeah-uh-this before thing, could I know something about it or do I have to guess?"
"It was along time ago, and I was a different person then."
"Yeah, but you still know a lot about me, and I know barely anything about you. I mean Trinity I love you but what is it, can't you trust me."
She leaned closed to him and whispered, "It's just that, you love me, and I love you."
"You could never do anything that bad, even if you killed me I'm pretty sure you would have a good reason." His weak joke didn't even manage to make her groan. She just looked at him with her green eyes. " I wish that were true." She obviously didn't believe in unconditional love, he really didn't either but she was the exception. He touched the side of her face, " It is true." He insisted. She closed her eyes, "How can you say that when you don't know all the facts?" "Because I know you."
Over head they heard someone swear, and the sound of foot steps. "Must be trouble." Neo commented, but the real trouble was down here with Trinity. But this was her excuse out of a hard situation, she climbed the ladder to the main deck. This wasn't over not by a long shot. He followed quickly, with a feeling of dread that he had become accustom to.
Gizmo looked like he had seen the dead rising from their graves, and Byte looked worse. "We lost some more people, an entire ship." Teeky said slowly, as in shock, ",it was that monster again."
Morpheus was sitting in a near by chair with his hands folded like he was praying, maybe he was. "We lost Milwaukee's team to him, a member of Chicago's team was with them and escaped with the news. But it will happen again, and again. Neo I hate to ask this of you, and I wish we could gather more information, but the resistance will die if he is not defeated now. So, can you destroy him?"
"Yeah- I mean just another battle, right?"
"He's toast." Byte said reassuringly.
"Just in case, do I get your quarters if you get killed?" Gizmo joked, he then put his arm around Byte's shoulders. When had that happened? Many people on the ship gave them an odd look, except Trinity, would had "I told you so" written on her face.
They stood in a dark room in the city . Neo could sense the people on the street below , some where ready to be unplugged, he only hoped that he could keep people alive to unplug them. It was scary, that this may be his last time, for everything. He was not though going out without a fight, Patrick would, if he survived, never forget this day.
"Kiss her why don't you? It would be SO poetic!!" Byte insisted.
"Yeah- Why don't you?" Trinity asked looking him in the eye. He obliged them and kissed her, with the feel that it could be their last. Byte and Gizmo began making gagging noises. But amongst the giggling, he broke the kiss, it was a bad feeling a really horrible feeling, almost a premonition, that ran along his spine.
"He's coming isn't he?" Trinity asked reading his expression.
"YEAH!! AND WE ONLY HAVE A MINUTE!!!" Byte screeched so loud that Gizmo flinched.
"Everybody leave, you can't stay."
"No way! I'm killing that beast for what he did to my brother! And you can't take that away from me." Teeky growled, she seemed taller that her slightly over five foot frame should allow. Byte looked so nervous that he was sure that she was going to start going gray if they didn't move soon.
"Alright! I've had enough! You are coming now so don't be an idiot!" Byte screeched at Teeky, "Dying doesn't solve anything!! Aren't you smarter than that?! Neo is a big okay, he can handle his self, you can't! So lets move for goodness' sake!!" Teeky stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then allowed herself to be dragged out of the room. He could hear them running down the stairs, and he could sense their emotions: love, hate, fear, and regret. He held a handgun in both hands, like this was going to be some old west shoot out, though he highly doubted that Pat would say "Howdy partner" or "This town ain't big enough for the both of us!"
Just then the wall in front of him, shimmered and disappeared, and Patrick stepped though. He had always had a smirk on his face, and the prospect of a battle hadn't wiped it of his face.
"Well, howdy partner!! But this town ain't big enough for the two of us!" He drawled. So sue me, Neo thought. "Why brother, we look so grim! Being a rebel not all it's cracked up to me?"
Neo smirked willing to do anything to annoy his brother. "Well, it's a helluva lot better than being your brother!" Patrick nodded, "It's mutual."
Patrick smirked, "Ya know, I didn't believe it was you at first. I didn't believe you had the stomach to kill people, or even be able to kill people for that matter. I remember when we were kids you were always getting the crap beat out of you all the time. Pretty ironic."
"Some things change. You being an idiot hasn't." Anything to buy Trinity and the others a little more time. He would even resort to name calling with his brother, like when they were kids. That was lifetimes ago for Neo and the good old days for Pat when he was top dog. Even now, being the Dark One he had yet to make people cower before him. If Pat did defeat him, he would go on without resistance, and would make Hitler look like a joke, and Stalin like a nice guy. Patrick was studying him, and looked like he was thinking, even though he was stupid in a academic sense, he was clever, and that in some cases can be just as dangerous.
"You know it'll be good to get rid of you, but if you think I'm doing this for the jokers in the suits, you got another thing coming to you."
"Pat, You're an idiot, but your not that stupid." Actually this whole thing was stupid, they were adults, yet they were teasing each other like they were eleven years old. Instead of throwing another insult out at him he walked up to him, and they stood face to face.
"That's the problem Tom, or should that be Neo? You know my plans, and worse yet can stop them. And that just doesn't work. Plus I've really never liked you that much." With that Patrick punched him in the stomach, hard. Neo went flying into the back wall. His stomach retracted, while Patrick stood there gloating. His brother moved to attack again, but this time Neo was ready for him, and knocked him across the jaw, visibly splitting Pat's lip.
"That Hurt!"
"Duh."
Then they really got at it. Neither really seemed to gain an advantage, all they managed was to destroy every inch of the room, but soon the battle that seemed slow to the fighters but anyone watching Neo knew it would seem unbelievably fast. His only relief was that the others had to be away by now. Finally the battle left the apartment, and the two for a second hovered in the thin air. Out of the corner of his eye Neo saw people gathering below, the agents were going to have a tough time covering this up. People don't fly everyday. Some were scared out of their wits, while other though it was seriously cool.
"Well it will be nice to have an audience won't it, to see the fall of the One." Instead of lunging at him he took out a handgun, and shot the entire round at him. You would think that the Dark One would be able to shoot better, because he only managed to nick ankle. Now it was Neo's turn, it would have been right that he felt a little bad drawing a gun on his brother, but his brother was a murder. And Trinity, Tank, Byte, Morpheus, Gizmo, and thousands of other people meant more to him than the scum that was his brother.
He let the round fly with better accuracy than Patrick's, but he only managed to nick him three times. Damn. This wasn't good.
"NEO!!!" Someone screamed from the building to his left, "THE AGENTS GOT TRINITY!!!" Byte was standing and from this far away he could tell her left arm was busted. Disbelief washed though him and for a second he didn't react. In that split second he was distracted Patrick got of a shot, and he proved he could shoot. Neo's left shoulder burned, then went numb. He lost his concentration on staying flying. And he fell. But as he fell he saw Patrick taking a person from the Agents who had appeared on the rooftop of another building. And he knew who it was. Trinity. He couldn't concentrate it was all a blur.
"NEO!? NEO?!" Byte's voice shocked him out of the second coma. His brain still wasn't right the bullet hole in his shoulder hurt like hell, he could tell the bullet had gone though solid bone. His subconscious or whatever it was stepped in, and made a spilt second decision. Then for no reason he grew a pair of wings, ripped his shirt and coat to shreds, but the wings slowed him to when he hit the ground his legs wouldn't support him. That was odd... Then he collapsed.
Byte ran fast she had to warn Neo, she was running faster than any Olympic athlete. And her gym teachers had given her a B. She found him quickly, people flying over a city didn't happen everyday. She reached the nearest building and raced past the security guards, who didn't even notice her. Two flying people were way more intrusting than her. She practically flew up the seventy stories. Like she could wait for the elevator! She reached the roof, panting and her broken arm was screaming at her but this was way more important. Then it was like a sledgehammer got taken to her skull. A person falling. That monster pacing around a prisoner. Neo getting shot twice. Her jumping of the building. Teeky screaming. Living shadows. She took a deep breath like she had surfaced from being under water. The visions. But right now Neo was important, she had to tell his about Trinity, the she could analyze the warnings.
"NEO!! THE AGENTS GOT TRINITY!!!" She screamed at him. He looked at her then seemed to freeze but that wasn't right it didn't look right like some one had paused him. But nobody paused Patrick that was sure. And he got of two shot both hit Neo jolting him out of pause mode and then he fell. She saw that he had been shot in the shoulder, and what looked way to close to his hear.
"NEO?!NEO?!" She screamed at him. He was the One, he couldn't die, it couldn't be real.. He fell like a ton of bricks, she looked down. No that is like so impossible, not happening. It was crazy, then again insane people do crazy things. She said a prayer, took a breath, and jumped. Then she saw her chance, a tent or whatever that people put over doorways so they don't get wet in the rain. She landed and ripped though the canvas, and managed to land unharmed. She spun around into the ally in time to see Neo land on the ground, what was really odd was that he had wings, "What the hell?!" She asked herself in disbelief. He crumpled to the ground, the wings disappeared.
She sprinted down the alley and kneeled down beside him. She grab his wrist and tried to take his pulse, but her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't get anything. She slipped out her cell phone, her hands shaking, and she was beginning to cry.
"Operator."
"Tank! Neo's shot, and I-I-I can't get a pulse." She gave into sobs, that racked her body. If Neo died the hope of freeing humankind died along with it.
"I know, they're coming now."
"It may be to late!!" She then grabbed Neo's neck, desperate to find a pulse, and she felt it, slow and getting slower, but it was there.
"BYTE!!" Gizmo yelled coming down the alley followed by Morpheus and Teeky. As he reached her she began to sob again. "He's dying, and they got Trinity."
"How did this happen?" Teeky asked horrified, as Morpheus and Gizmo picked Neo up. He looked like he was dead already. His skin looked waxy and gray. And nobody answered Teeky's question, maybe there wasn't an answer to it, or the crew wasn't willing to face it.
Sorry about another cliffhanger, I'll try to get the next one out as soon as possible. Until then REVIEW THIS ONE!!! Please?! Sorry again for the wait!! Blame school!!
