The Matrix: Duel Of Gods
Chapter 2
Gabriel Leone walked into the lobby of a Holywood Jewlery store. This was after hours, and the alarms would've gone off. But Gabe had an alter, and more nerdy, ego. He alter ego was named Azrael and he had hacked into the secuirity system and shut down only the front door and the alarm in the particular jewel he was there to steal. If he wouldve shut all of the alarms off, it would've raised a few eyebrows.
Gabe stood at 5'8" and weighed 175 lbs. He had short black hair that spiked up for some reason he never found out. He was muscular for his small size(mostly because of his martial arts, but more on that later!) He was 25 and had quite adventurous life. When he turned 18, he joined the army and was a Ranger for 4 years. Then he left the military and went to Korea to train in the Golden Dragon Dojo. He stayed there for 2 years and learned the way of silence and martial arts. It was only in the past year he had thought of Jewelry theft for a career. His alter ego: Azrael, was created in his training at the Dojo. He chose to refer to himself as that when anything that involved computers or logical thought. Azrael was the voice in his head, he knew one day he would give into it, and become Azrael, and that day was closer than he thought...
He walked over to the jewel case and saw his objective. A giant pink engagement ring. It was on display, because it was chipped and being repaired. It belonged to a big star, the name failed from Gabe's memory. Something-big ass. Thats what he remembered. He easily opened the case and grabbed his objective and chuckled to himself. Then alarms went beserk. His heart raced. He did everything! Someone was here with hiM! He turned and ran out the door. Once he stepped outside to the bright night lights of LA, 3 officers stood with night sticks in hands. Gabe sighed and put the ring in his pocket.
"Listen fellas," He said with a chuckle. "This isn't what this seems!" He moved quick, too quick for the officers to notice. Before they knew it he was beside one. He grabbed the officer's arm and brought it down against his knee. The officer dropped his night stick and Gabe kicked it up with his foot and grabbed it and hit it against the officer's nose. The remaining duo charged after him. His jammed the stick into the first officer's stomach and spun around and hit the other one in the temple. Gabe kept spinning and swept the remaining officer's feet and he went to the ground. Gabe used the nightstick to jam it into his sternam. He wasnt going to get up...
"Good..." A voice said from the shadows. Gabe stood upright and stood in his fighting stance. "I wasn't sure you were the one, but you've proved yourself." A man stepped out of the shaddows. "I am Morpheus, come with me and i will show you a world you never dreamed of."
"You're that mother fucker who set off the alarm aren't you?!" Gabe yelled. Morpheus nodded.
"Gabe, come with me, and money and theft will mean nothing to you..." With that Gabe decided to go with him.
******
Link sighed as he knew the long path that was ahead for Gabe. The same path Neo had took. But speaking of Neo, the superman was back in the Matrix scouting out the tunnel on the highway where the Clockmaker was.
******
Neo flew over the cars as he neared the tunnel. He landed and cars swerved to avoid hitting him. Neo couldn't care less. He was in his world. He felt soooo much power in the Matrix. He walked in the tunnel and saw a door. He walked over to it and opened it. He walked in. The was another door in front of him, different than the one he walked through. It was glass. On the other side he saw a Dojo and an old man with thousands of clocks around him. Neo, without thinking opened the door and stepped through....
******
"Uh...Link did you see that too?" Sparx asked. They had both Operator stations side by side.
"Yeah...he just dissapeared..." Linked replied. "Wait! I found him...he's at Mt. Everest!" They exchanged worried glances. There was a ring in Link's headset. "Operator....no you're at Mt. Everest! The nearest phone is like 500 miles away! I don't know! You're the superman, find a way there!" Link sighed. Neo was going to be in the Matrix a good long while.
******2 days later
Gabe and Morpheous stood in the very same dojo that he and Neo duked it out in.
"First things first Gabe. Your name is a thing of the past. You were sheltered, we've all taken new names. Now you will too." Gabe nodded.
"Azrael" He muttered.
"What was that?" Morpheus asked.
"Azrael's my name. It's been a secret name for quite some time, so I'll go with it." He said with a smirk.
Morpheous nodded. He knew he was going to be trained a lot quicker. He was already trained in martial arts and taken to the focusing easier than Neo. He was stuck on what the Oracle had said about him being the opposite of Neo. He thought it meant that this "The One" was going to be evil, but what turned out was that he was just the opposite in the Matrix. Neo was a paper pusher at work, and Gabe,now Azrael, was a jewel theif.
They sparred for hours when a phone rang and they were brought out. They stood on deck with the whole crew of the logos present.
Ghost, Niobe, Trinity, Sparx, Morpheous, and Azrael stood in a circle around Neo who was still lost in the Matrix. Every phone that rang for him, an agent waited for him and destroyed it in front of him.
"We've gotta go in without him, Morpheous." Niobe said. "We've gotta go find this Clockmaker. We got his last location. He didnt have the key like we do, thats why he's at where he is."
******
Neo flew through the air. 2 days in the Matrix was even exhausting for him. He wanted to get out and see this new guy, and to be with Trinity more than anything. He stopped somewhere, he guessed middle Nebraska and sat against a tree. He knew it was risky to do, but he needed a little sleep....He dozed off with thoughts of Trinity in his head.
******
The whole group stood in the white abyss.
Niobe opened her phone and spoke. "Sparx. Guns." She comanded rows of guns flowed around them.
"Stock up." Trinity said to Azrael. Azrael smiled and did so. Over the past 2 days he had developed a liking for Trinity. He didn't know she was lovers with Neo. He had only heard a little from Morpheous about Neo. He kept comparing him to him. Azrael packed his trenchcoat with 9 mm pistols and strapped an M-16 assault riffle to his back. He was ready.
Morpheous opened his phone now. "Link. Cars. We need something that'll fit all of us." He closed his phone and a tan Cadilac Escalade appeared. Azrael fought the urge to whistle at it. It was a nice piece of machinery.
They all piled into it, and they entered the matrix. They were two blocks from the nearest on ramp onto the highway. Everyone took a deep breath and sighed. Azrael nearly chuckled, they were going onto the highway! Big deal!
*******
"So, Link, you think this new guy is 'The One'?" Sparx asked as they watched the group speed onto the on ramp.
"Honestly? No, but he is a good addition to our group. But I think he has a thing for Trinity...And Neo may not like it!" The chuckled as they looked at the disater that was about to happen right before their eyes.
******
Niobe and Morpheous sat up front and Ghost, Trinity, and Azrael were crammed in the back. Azrael kept squirming in his seat impatiently. He looked out the window and saw something in the distance.
"Hey guys....whos this guy in all white and has dreads?" He asked. Everyone looked at him then looked at the road.
"TWIN!" Everyone yelled.
The twin in the road stood and waited til the vehicle neared. He reached out and made his arm transparent and reached in and yanked Azrael, along with the door off. Azrael hit the ground hard and the Escalade sped off.
"We've got to keep going! We'll come back for him! He'll know to get onto another car or something." Morpheous yelled.
******
Azrael groaned and heard cars zooming around him. Thats when reality hit him. He was in the middle of the highway! He stood up quickly and felt a spaz of dizziness.
The twin swung two punches at him and he dodged them. He spun kick and hit nothing as the twin went transparent again. He sighed.
"What the f-" He was about to say but the twin smacked him with a backhand. He groaned. He got hit three more times and he backed up until he felt the baricade of the median. He then realized why this thing was called a twin. The other twin was coming right at him in an Avalanche truck. Azrael continued fighting the present twin and waited until a split second before the truck would've hit him and backflipped onto the concrete median and balanced as the truck hit the other twin. The truck stopped quickly and Azrael hopped down. He saw both twins in the truck smiling.
"SHIT!" The passenger of the truck pulled out an assault rifle of some kind and began firing random shots at Azrael. Without and dodgeing room, Azrael unshouldered his M-16 and emptied it into the truck.
Shit this isn't going anywhere! He thought. Then he heard a horn of a semi-truck coming. He smiled. The twin kept firing not bothering to move their vehicle. Azrael dropped the gun and bent his knees and back flipped. He focused the most that he ever had. Morpheous taught him to focus to do what seemed impossible feats. Azrael hovered in the air and dropped onto the roof of the semi. The twins just gaped as the truck hit theirs, a huge explosion rocked the road. The truck kept driving.
"Hey" Azrael said to himself. "I'll hitch this ride til i catch up with the others." Little did he know, but he just completed a feat that Morpheous did, and did it with relative ease. Link and Sparx didnt even see what Azrael did. They took him for dead after he was yanked out...but they were wrong. ....
Author's Note: What do you all think? I introduced Azrael. Now see, for once a new character that isnt named after me! He doesnt even resemble me! Well i dont want to give up anything in the story. But after this chapter is posted, the next one will be in the works. So expect updates quick! If i lose reviews then you lose chapters! Now keep in mind, this is going to be long, so dont think this Highway scene is the climax!
