A new friend
Brandon leaned back in his chair as he watched Tyson and Jill. He then shook his head slightly at Tyson's question.
Brandon: I have no earthly idea..it felt like a virus though.
Jill: A virus in the Matrix?
Brandon: I don't know.it's happened before.but that guy's strength was equal to your own. I am scared of these things. What if they upgrade somehow? Do you realize that they could keep us from ever entering the Matrix again.
Tyson: Can't we just fight them?
Brandon: I don't know if that's a smart idea.they look like they're apart of the Matrix.I don't know.but from now on when you enter the Matrix, look over your shoulder.
Just then the sirens went off, warning of another thing coming close to their ship, the Eden. All three of them ran to the computer screen which showed a shot of the darkened tunnel that they endlessly traveled through. The darkened tunnels where the core of the planet once called Earth. After the humans had invented artificial intelligence, robots soon built robots by themselves and turned on their makers, soon a war broke out, and the never tiring robots soon took over. The robots had used the power of the sun for their energy source so the humans came up with a plan to make an endless cloud that blocked out all sunlight. This did keep the robots from having energy, but then they found that human body's electro-magnetic energy was much more useful. And without the Sun the world turned into a dark and damp place, deprived of life. Only a few handful of men and women survived in small ships, scattered and continually hunted by the robots. They used the Matrix as a sort of tool to try and defeat the machines, and for a way to have a somewhat normal life, and to exchange information. The Eden slowly came to a stop as all lights where directed unto the thing that the computer had picked up, laying there, on the ground on a slab of ship metal, barely alive from the lack of oxygen, was a girl.
Tyson: She's still alive..
Tyson then ran back into the ship's storage compartment and grabbed an oxygen suit, quickly putting it on and opening the door, jumping out and running over to the girl, grabbing her around the waist. He looked around and noticed her ship, a melted hunk of metal and bones now. He shook his head and then hurridly carried her on board. Once they where in he laid her on the ground, he then took off his oxygen suit and looked at her. Jill and Brandon came in from the other room. Soon the girl coughed and started breathing again. She sat up, and started crying, then she looked at Tyson.
Girl: Bathroom!
Tyson pointed in the direction of the bathroom and she ran off, soon a vomiting sound was heard. The girl slowly walked back in, a scared look on her face.
Girl: Please..don't tell me that my ship is destroyed..
Brandon: I'm sorry.
Girl: ..Kevin..
Tyson: I'm sorry.your husband?
Girl: No..my brother..
Tears then welled up in the girls eyes and she started to cry again, Tyson looked at Jill and Brandon, all 3 of them had no idea what to do, so they let her cry.
Tyson: ...what's your name?
Girl: .A..Ali..
Brandon: Well..Ali..you are now on board of the Eden. there is an extra room in the back, compliments of one of our assosciates who passed away. Tyson, would you please show her the way?
Tyson nodded as he looked at Ali, then led her to her room, they both remained silent as they walked. Tyson then motioned as they came to the room.
Tyson: This is the one..look..I'm sorry about your ship..and your brother.I lost family when I was a child too.
Ali: .thank you.
Tyson nodded, then turning around and walking back into the room where Jill and Brandon are, Jill and Brandon where already in a discussion about her.
Brandon: We can't keep her here.we have to let her off at the next dock, she's only extra weight.
Jill: How do you know she can't help us out in the Matrix?
Brandon: She most likely is a lowly janitor or something that was fitted with the jack in spots for security reasons.
Tyson then shook his head as he then walked in.
Tyson: No, she was a Captain of that ship, I saw her name tag.
Jill: Then it's settled.she stays.
Brandon: .bu..
Jill: No buts about it!
Brandon: Fine.
The next day they woke up nice and early and met in the eating quarters. Over a bowl of mush they discussed the days plans.
Brandon: We need to draw that man to us..we need to use you three as bait, then I need you guys to take him out. All 3 of you should have no trouble handling him.
Tyson: Sounds like a plan.
Ali: Wait! Who said I was helping you guys out?
Brandon: Would you rather be outside on the ground?
Ali: ..no.
Brandon: Then it's settled. Let's get to business.
Soon the 3 where jacked in as Brandon sat at the computer screen, looking at them.
Brandon: Have a nice flight.
Brandon then entered the code and they where soon jacked in. At first they where in a white void, there they looked at Ali's leather trench coat and leather pants and sleeveless leather shirt.
Ali: What? Can't a girl have style?
Jill looked down at her own baggy black windsuit pants and black long sleeved shirt. Tyson laughed slightly, he looked at his own, black silk t- shirt and baggy black jeans. He then put on his sunglasses.
Jill: Why do you always do that? The Sun doesn't hurt our eyes in the Matrix.
Tyson: It still makes me look cool.
Jill: Whatever..
Just then little blocks of a San Francisco street came into view, and soon it was all filled in.
Brandon: Okay campers. Just wait there and..wow..he's already coming for you...LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!
Tyson dove to the ground as the man flew right where he was, the man slammed into a car that was crossing the street, the car flying off as the man looked at the three of them. The three ran towards him at once, they all shot out fists and foots towards the man, he seemingly blocked every one of their attempts. He then backhanded Jill, sending her flying, He then punched Ali in the chin, sending her skidding backwards. Tyson then surprised the man with a fist into the man's gut, the man doubled over but then rammed his head upwards into Tyson's chin, Tyson flew backwards, landing on the ground.
Brandon: Something's wrong.he is a lot stronger than last time! That's it! I'm getting you guys an exit!
Just then the phone by Ali rang, Ali quickly got to her feet and answered it, it pulling her back into the real world. Jill then quickly ran over, hanging it up, and then when it re rang she answered it and did the same. The phone dangled there as the man and Tyson both looked at each other, then they both sprinted for it. The man reached the phone first, he then ripped the whole booth up off of the ground and launched it at Tyson. Tyson leaped into the air, running along it as it flew past him, he then landed as he looked around.
Tyson: I need an exit now!
Brandon: Damn! The next one is exactly 2 miles away! You have to take the highway! It's at a truck stop along the highway, 2 miles down!
Tyson closed his eyes, he had to get 2 miles to a phone with a really strong person following right behind him. Tyson then pulled out his gun, and bolted for the highway, the man following behind him, Tyson then fired several rounds at the man, the man seemingly saw them coming and dodged every bullet. Just then the man split into 3 men. Tyson kept on running and shouted over his shoulder.
Tyson: What the hell are you?
The Man: I am Agent Smith.meet my new Agents!
Tyson continued to run, the Agents gaining on him. He then looked and saw that he was nearing the overpass. He ran up unto it and when he was over the highway he looked over the railing. He saw a semi about to pass right under him, suddenly time slowed for Tyson as he concentrated, he leaped and jumped farther than any normal man could, he slowly descended and landed on the roof of the cab of the semi. He then turned around and saw all 3 Agents doing the same thing, but they where still in mid air. Tyson fired several more rounds and hit one of the Agents. The Agent fell and was ran over by a garbage truck. The other 2 Agents landed on the cab as well, they slowly walked towards Tyson, Tyson backed up and looked back and saw that he was at the edge of the truck. Agent Smith smirked as he walked towards Tyson.
Agent Smith: And now you die!
Agent Smith then leaped at Tyson.
Brandon leaned back in his chair as he watched Tyson and Jill. He then shook his head slightly at Tyson's question.
