Trigs
Eponine entered her own apartment a few hours after she found out Ben was dead. She thought that he might be. Lyedecker had been on his tail for a while. He had snapped. When he left, Eponine was slightly happy. He was not the boy she grew up with. He was different, more free willed, more like a normal person. Eponine didn't want normal. Eponine wanted X5-493, her beloved best friend and storyteller. When she was taken to the Nomolies, he had escaped for her, but he had changed to suit the world. Trigs didn't like that.
Eponine wondered how long it would take Krit, Syl, Jondy and Zane to realise she was Trigs. She knew it would be less than a few days, so she was ready to leave. She didn't want to face them. She was afraid she would snap too, and she would go off killed everyone she could. She would end up back and Manticore being reprogrammed along with Max and Zack.
No, she thought to herself, They wouldn't try. They'd just throw me back with all the X2's.
When X5-631 was declared an Anomaly, Trigs was afraid. She was only eleven years old, and was afraid of the monsters in the basement. They had taken her to a room and tried to reprogram her for months. Each day, they took two steps forward, and three steps back. Trigs tried everything to make it stop. She played along, but they saw through it. She acted crazy, but they saw through that too. In the end, they decided to try a more 'unconventional' approach.
They locked her in a room with that X2 for two years. The X2 was the monster that Ben had taught her to fear. It was big, and hairy, and it snarled all the time. Trigs screamed for days, until they took her out and explain that if she didn't accept the conditioning, she would be put back in. Trigs accepted it, but quickly unprogramed herself, and was promptly throw back in with the Nomolie.
She stayed in one corner, cowering in fear at the sight of the great hairy beast. It was all she could do to keep from screaming, which they swore would land her more time in there. All day, she whimpered the names of her siblings. Tinga. Brin. Max. Jondy. Zack. Zane. Ben. Igen. Jace. Jack. Eva. Krit. Syl. They were what kept her going the first few months.
Then the monster spoke. He looked at her with his big yellow eyes, and said.
"X2 o45."
"X5 631."
"358392047659."
"270581092584. Trigs."
"Name?" it asked.
"I have a name. It's Trigs. Zack named me."
"Zack?"
"X5 599."
"X2 045!"
"No. It's not the same! You do, however,need a name."
"Name?"
"A name. You can't want to be called X2 599."
"Nomolie."
"Me too. They can't control me."
"Nomolie," it said, pointing to itself and then to Trigs.
"We're two against the world."
"World?"
"The world outside Manticore."
"Manticore. We... In... Manticore. We are soldiers."
"No. I'm not a soldier. I am a person first."
"Person?"
"You know, a person. I like to have fun, to laugh, to play. I don't like fighting."
"I... Don't... Either Trigs."
"What's happening to you. You're not the same thing I've been trapped in here with for more than a year, and these are the first intelligent words you've uttered."
"Drugs. You've... Been... Feeding me those drugs you won't take. They have let me see clearer."
"Its just Tryptophan. It's to stop my non-existent seizures."
"Its let me see clearly, and speak."
"So you're not a crazy monster."
"Yes. I am... But now I'm a crazy monster that can talk to an intelligent X5."
"This is so... weird."
"You think its weird. Its like I've been in a weird fuzzy dream for four years."
"What year did you go insane?"
"I was fourteen, so four, I think. That would make it twenty oh seven."
"About the time Brin saw the Nomolies with Ben."
"Brin? Ben?"
"Names. My year, we named each other. I am X5-631, but my friends called me Trigs."
"Why?"
"Why are you X2 045?"
"Because its what the leaders called me."
"And my friends called me Trigs."
"This is strange... I'm speaking to another human."
"It's odd. I have the sudden urge to get the hell out of here."
And they did. Trigs and X2-045 got out, and got away. No one knew, no one chased them. They got up, and left before anything could be said. As far Manticore knew, X5-631 was dead, as was the Nomolie X2 599. They really did die.
Only Trigs and Carn made it out of there.

"Hello," said a voice on one end of the phone, far away in Mexico.
"Hello. I'm looking for Jace or Igen."
"Why? Who is this?"
"I can't say. Is Jace or Igen there?"
"Goodbye."
"Wait!" Jondy cried, "Zack and Max were captured."
"Who is this?"
"Who is this?"
"Jace."
"Jondy."
"Jondy, what do you mean Max and Zack were captured."
"Manticore has them. I'm calling to get you and Igen up here."
"Jondy, how did Max get caught?"
"She did something heroicly stupid, and so did Zack."
"Oh god."
"We need you, and we need your help. Ben said something about a little sister making it out. We need to know if shes one of the twelve, or if she was one of the ones left behind?"
"No. No one left behind got out."
"Zane thinks Ben may have found X5-631."
"Trigs? No way. Trigs died seven years ago in a fire. The Nomolie killed her."
"So its not Trigs?"
"No."
"How soon can you be here?"
"I can't. I've got my child. I am not going to fight."
"What about Igen?"
"Igen should be in Oklahoma. He was going up to see Ben."
"Ben's dead. So's Tinga."
"How?"
"Ben snapped. Manticore killed Tinga."
"Damnit."
"We're going to get Max and Zack and Brin."
"I'll see if Igen can get someone. He also mentioned a little brother."
"Who?"
"Didn't say."
"He only had a few little brothers. Any X5's go Awall recently?"
"Creeg. Creeg died in a fire, about three years ago. And Kiri died a few years before. They were all declared Nomolies. "
"Creeg is dead too."
"He and Trigs are watching over us from the good place."

"Eponine?" asked a voice as Trigs stepped out of the shower and began to make herself breakfast the next morning. Trigs turned to see her roomate, Carn, who went by the name Kent. He looked like Zack. He had the same expression, and way about him. Though he was twenty-six, and she was only twenty one, they got along great. He had been her friend, and her companion, bailing each other out of quite a few problems.
"Yeah Kent."
"Those people in the Bar last night?"
"Krit, Syl, Jondy, and Zane."
"What about the others?"
"Tinga, I don't know about. Brin is back at Manticore. Max and Zack are in Manticore too."
"You think Zane and the others will try to get them out."
"I know they will."
"You gonna help?"
"No."
Hey hey! More coming. I'm now writing a piece to along with this that explains what happened to Trigs, and how she got out. I'm writing it seperatly because I like my G rating, and I swear in in.
Read and Review Please. Ideas on what to do would be nice. I like thatg you LIKE trigs, but I need some help.
I doon't own Dark Angel except for Trigs, Igen, Carn, Kiri, and Renz. Don't steal them either, or I'll stop writing... No I won't, but you'll make me CRY!!!
