Claimer: Trish and Jack belong to me.

(a/n): Okay, Fun, I won't let you wait long. Tell you the truth I am enjoying writing this myself. You really know how to interpret stories don't you. Well, that's good. Just read on and you will see how will it all happen. Okay, enough with my blabbering. 

Chapter9: A Betrayal So Soon

            "Well come on. You better clean up, the last Domination match is coming soon." He said to Trinity and she looked into his yellow eyes and smiled. "Yeah, let's do that." Dessloch nodded slowly and then gave her a sincere smile and started to walk away. Trinity quickly ran up to him and pulled him towards her as she hugged him again. What Dessloch didn't realize was the knife she held as she ran up her hand up to his spine. "Dessloch?" She asked and looked deep into his eyes and he seemed to be totally confused. "Yes?" He asked arcing his right eyebrow. "I want you to promise me something. Promise me you won't tell anyone" He looked at her again and smiled, "I promise." He said and caressed her soft cheek.

She smiled and then harshly pushed him against the nearest wall, surprising him by her action as she put her knife against his throat and looked deep into his eyes with anger. "What…what are you doing?" He said and she shut him up when she pressed harder and blood escaped from his perfect skin, painting her dagger with rich red blood. "You think I'm blind don't you." She whispered carefully and pressed harder. "I'm not stupid. You know how many times I have been betrayed? More than I can count. I know everyway that was used and there is no way of tricking me now. I thought I could trust since the beginning but now, you have lost your loyalty, Dessloch." Dessloch seemed to panic as he looked into her eyes. "Trish, what are you talking about?" She got angrier and hit him in the stomach with her knee, hard. "Never call me, Trish, EVER. Don't play innocent with me. You work for Xan, admit it. It was all a set up! You made a scene in the beginning on purpose. He had an eye on me since the beginning, didn't he? Come on admit it." She chuckled but didn't let her eyes travel off of his.

"It can hardly be a coincidence, can it? I mean, you meeting me there in the front desk when I decided to join. I mean, why would Xan care what I want. Why did he agree with me and decided to give you a room instead of a cage! How did you find me in the maze of the blue bunker, anyway? How did you know that the creature would attack me? I haven't called out you're name, you haven't even heard my voice and yet you came, with a gun." She said in a whisper, pressing the blade harder into his throat and Dessloch kept silence as he watched her in horror. "That was too easy, how you defeated that creature! I don't know one human being that can destroy them like this! And now you promise you won't tell anyone?" She smiled and started to laugh. "Well guess what, Dessloch, I'll make sure you'll keep that last promise of yours."

Dessloch's eyes widened as he screamed his last words, "Trinity, wait, don't, I can—" Dessloch's voice was cut off when she stabbed him in the stomach. Dessloch coughed on his words as he slowly put his hands on the wound and fell on his knees and he looked up at her. "Trinity? Why?" He whispered very lowly and fell to the ground, face down. "I'm sorry." She slowly said. She went out into the bathroom and cleaned her dagger as she slowly looked at it, as it shined off every time light instantly hit it. She gulped and closed her eyes as tears went down.

Dessloch did save her, but only to watch her more. She knew he was a spy; there was no doubt about it. Xan must have not sent that creature. The Hybrid must have come here from anger that he lost. She just realized it was Dominator. That creature that was angry with her because his team has lost for the first time.

Trinity wiped off hands from blood and dried them. She went outside into the living room and picked up her mask and glasses as she looked carefully at Dominator. She closed her eyes and put on her accessories and went into the kitchen to call her team.

            She heard Kyla pick up with her cheery voice. "Hi, Kyla? I have somethi—" Trinity shut her mouth as she felt a cold barrel against her head. "Trinity? Are you there?" Kyla's voice was heard. "Trinity?" "Tell her that you coming to the next match soon." Dessloch's cold voice boomed behind her. Trinity kept silent and she heard Dessloch turn his weapon on. "Now." He said and pushed it harder in her head. "Trinity? Hello?" "Yeah, Kyla, I'm coming. I'll be there soon. Bye." Trinity said with a shaky voice and heard Kyla agree and Dessloch took the phone from her and turned it off.

            "You have a lot of explanation to do, Menace." He said as he took her by her arm and guided her to sit on the couch that was still standing. "Sit there." He said and she sat and looked into his cold, hurt eyes. She looked into his wound and it didn't look good. He was supporting it with his left hand as he pointed the Magnum in her face. "Dessloch, please." She begged as she looked into his angry eyes. "Why?" He asked her. "Why did you do this to me? What did I do wrong?" She didn't say anything. She was afraid to say anything, knowing that whatever she will say will not make him happy. But Trinity cannot take it anymore; she had to fight for herself. "So its true?" She asked him and he looked confused again. "You really are a spy." Dessloch's eyes widened, as he seemed mortally wounded. "I'm a what?" He asked her and looking dead into her eyes. "Is this what's it all about? You really thought I was a spy? No, no. I'm not a spy Trinity—" "A true spy would never say he is a spy." She said, interrupting him and made him shut up for good.

            "Damn it, Trish, what's wrong with you? I thought you believed in me." He said as he looked hurt. "I did, but that's what you wanted to take advantage. You thought I was blind." She said and lowered her head. "Yes you are blind! You are blind to see that I took a liking in you and decided to help you and you take me for a spy! So, what, no one is allowed to help you?" She looked straight into him at his words as he confused her as well. "Trinity, I just wanted to help you. I know what it's like to be against the world but I trusted my team. I trust them with my life! And this is how you trust me?" He exclaimed loudly as his voice broke. "See you in the domination match." He said and dropped the gun to the floor which surprised her. "You can pick up this gun and shoot me in the back, or just let me leave and clean up so I can participate in the match."

            Tears welled up in Trinity's eyes as she watched him walk towards the exit. Trinity looked at the gun, lying on her red carpet that was absorbed in blood and quickly ran for the gun and pointed it at his head. "Don't move Dessloch." She cried out loud and he turned around to look at her. "You know you can't do it, Trish." He said and she started to cry. "I told you not to call me Trish anymore." She started to cry and saw him walk away and she collapsed on the floor and dropped the gun and started to cry so much, for a reason she never ever cried for before. Trinity felt confused and hurt. "Daddy, please, help me and guide me. I don't know what's right anymore."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            The crowds roared through the stadium of fire and lights as the two last teams that are the last winners of all the matches, waited to be called. "Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to the Unreal Tournament Arena! Tonight's match will be the last kind of Domination and the team winner proceeds to the Capture the Flag Tournament! Tonight's almighty teams are the undefeatable Dark Phalanx!" The crowd cheered for the team as they came up and beckoned at the crowds to cheer them on more.

            "Their contestants of course are the Bloody REAVERS!!! The one and only team that won every match and every battle and each of their leaders gone up to the Championship Ladder Arena! Today's new leader is Trinity. Let's hope she will lead a winning strike for her entire team!" The crowds went wild when Trish and her entire team stepped foot on the enormous arena as the crowds chanted, "Reavers, Reavers, Reavers, Reavers!" Her team kept cool and did not beckon or even pay attention to the crowd. They were professionals; they don't need to do it.

            Trinity didn't know what to think about Luther, she feels so lost. She looked over to Luther and he seemed to be staring straight back at her and he didn't look too happy. He must still be angry with her but she doesn't blame him. She did try to kill him when he only tried to help her. But she won't stay blind, she still has a feeling that he is a spy but she has her doubts.

            Ivana, the leader of the Dark Phalanx, came up towards the stand and so did Trinity. They shook hands and Ivana slammed the button, hard. The television screen above them showed a magnificent map of a huge oilrig that stood above the ocean of the oil. "Looks like our teams are heading for Metal Dream! Good luck to them, that is one of the hardest maps to master!"

            Trinity appeared outside of the rig next to the elevator 3 that led up almost 10 stories up to the middle level where almost all the weaponry is. "Boris, cover me. As for everyone else, engage according to operational parameters. Move out." Trinity gave out orders as she ran up the lift and the round coils past by her as she went up. "Got it, blue leader." Boris has said and the rest of the team acknowledged her as well.  

            The elevator stopped and she ran into the control room number 4 and saw the walls moving and realized it was Ivana running straight at her with a sniper rifle and invisibility equipped. Trinity quickly jumped away as she lost sight of Ivana. She jumped onto the higher platform and disappeared through one of the portals as she heard Ivana equipped the most deadly weapon, the Flak Cannon and fired of two shots.

            "Control Point is secured." She heard Kyla say as Trish ran up to the sniper rifle of the rooftop of one of the highest towers and ran back into the portal to destroy Ivana. Trinity jumped out and found Ivana right in her face and fired off her Flak Cannon and made Trish fall into the wall of the control center. Shit. Trinity thought when she just realized she has 6 percent health left. Trinity ran behind the wall and felt a pain in her heart as Farham taunted her, "Burn, baby." Trinity fell on the floor and he ran over her.

            She heard Boris run up to her, "Trinity, are you alright?" He stood up and fired off his enforcer at the two as Trinity respawned in one of the corridors out side where all the control points are. She heard a redeemer blast through the halls and saw a message written in her glasses that Boris was vaporized by Ivana as she killed herself as well.

            Trinity ran to her left and then to her right and picked up the GES bio rifle and heard the commotion somewhere on this level. Why do I always get so many crappy weapons? Trish thought as she ran to her right. The control point near the Crane was controlled by her team so she turned right again and past a very tiny walk way that led to the boxes. A control point stood there and Trinity touched it and said, "Control point is secured." She turned around and saw Boris running up to her with a minigun and he nodded. "Don't worry, I've got you're back." Trish smiled but Boris couldn't see that nice smile of hers.

            Trinity ran past the tiny walkway and the Crane into the helipad next to another lift behind 2 boxes on the left of the helipad as she noticed the helipad was occupied by red. Trinity fired off her bio rifle into Ivana's back and killed her fast as she took her on surprise and touched the symbol. "Control point is secured." She said and translocated onto the left box where the shield belt sat and jumped onto the other box and picked up some ammo for the Flak Cannon and jumped down to pick up the rocket launcher as Boris stood next to the control point, waiting for her to come down.

            Trinity ran up to Boris and a rocket hit her face and she fell down into the oil, taking her life away. Trinity quickly swam towards the platform where the elevator 3 stood. She heard Ivana taunt at Boris as she blew him up with her rocket launcher. "I'm growing tired of her." Trinity mumbled under her breath as she ran up the lift and into the control room again.

            She bumped into Nikita who was picking up the flak cannon and fired of her one rocket. Nikita dodged it and tried to run away from her and Trish fired of another, missing Nikita again. Just when she was about to fire again she realized she was out of ammo. She equipped the bio rifle and was frustrated because she only had five shots left. Just great. She thought and slimed her with the disgusting waist. Trinity switched to her double enforcers but Nikita was dead by then as Boris had finished her off.

            "Thanks Boris." She said and he nodded as he ran for a better weapon and so did Trinity. Nikita respawned in the corner of the control point and she fired off her minigun as Boris took on Gorn that came up from lift 3 and died from his rocket. Trinity was angered and she switched her targets to Gorn and railed him with her bullets and quickly annihilated Nikita as well.

            She ran up to the Grav Boots that just appeared and she was soon surround by a lot of Dark Phalanx members. Trinity thought she was in big trouble but then a thought slipped her mind. She ran fast into the portal and saw the Invisibility standing on the tower. She equipped it and jumped down to the nearest roof. She did not die from the fall but she was badly hurt. Thanks to the Grav boots she was still alive. Trinity limped across the roof and down to where the helipad is and used the boots to quickly get the shield belt.

            She ran across the Crane and saw Ivana quickly dashing and touching the symbol. Trinity fired off without mercy with Boris' Flak Cannon and it took 3 shots to kill her. "Killing Spree!" The announcer said as Trinity picked up her minigun for more ammo and secured the control point. Trinity checked her health and wasn't too happy. Once the shield belt is gone, she's dead meat.

            She ran across the walkway and saw Boris was firing of into the lower windows. She quickly past him and touched the control point next to the boxes and spotted health in the far left corner against the wall, across another lift. Trinity made a running jump and jumped across the lift as she saw it was coming up from the lower level with Ivana in it. Trinity ran for the health as she made a quick turn and switched to her minigun and pressed the trigger as Ivana ran for the control point.

            Ivana made it to the control point and fired of her weapon, which happened to be a minigun as well, and ran to the boxes as she backed up against them. Trish ran around the lift not missing any sight of her as she kept firing off at her and killed her before Trinity even made contact with the control point. "Control point is secured." She said and saw Ivana sit against the boxes, dead.

Trinity looked at the stats and saw the helipad was occupied by red and she ran towards the tiny hallway as she saw something purple. Oh no. Trish thought as she saw Nikita come out with a minigun behind the boxes from the corridor. Her minigun was glowing purple and that could only mean one thing. She had equipped the Damage Amplifier. Nikita boomed through the arena with the loud cutting ear noise as the bullets missed Trish by inches. She strafed from left to right and battered Nikita with her own minigun before she got up to the control point.

Trinity ran across the tiny walkway and by the Crane as she ran for the Helipad, expecting to see Ivana again. When she had made it across the Crane she saw the Boxes were occupied by Red now and Trinity grew tired of this. She ran faster towards the helipad and was surprised to see Gorn. She quickly fragged him before he even got a chance to shoot and said, "Control point is secured." "Control point is secured." She heard Boris say as it was written that he had killed Farham.

"I need some backup." Luther and Boris said it at the same time and Trinity ran fast towards the Boxes as she switched to the Flak Cannon and bumped into Farham who just respawned and was holding the GES bio rifle. She quickly eliminated him as he screamed very loud when she had hit his head off his shoulders. "I just slaughtered that guy!" Trinity said as she ran for the walkway and saw Ivana backpedaling towards the Crane. Trish killed her as well since she was concentrating on someone else. "RAMPAGE!"

That wasn't the last frag she made. Gorn seemed to be shooting through the windows that led to the control center on the walkway as she tear through him faster then scissors cutting paper. She ran towards the control point where the boxes are and waited as she took a breather from the entire running. She heard the lift stop on this level and saw Ivana running out of the lift with a minigun. Trish quickly used the close range advantage and shred her to pieces with one shot.

Trinity switched to her minigun and started to fire at Nikita as she saw her running towards the Crane and Gorn seemed to be taking a ride on the Crane it's self and fired of his plasma gun that pushed her to the most lowest level, killing her.

All the points were occupied by red as she appeared in the corridor next to the bio rifle. She picked it up and ran towards the crane and was killed by Anna's Flak Cannon. I need a better weapon. Trish thought as she appeared in the control center. She picked up the Flak Cannon and ran to her left into another corridor which had a lift. She took the lift up and appeared next to the bio rifle and she ran towards the Crane, killing Anna and heard Kyla behind her. "Occupy this control point as I go after the Boxes." She said to her and ran towards the boxes.

Trinity wasn't stupid, she knew that someone was hiding behind the boxes, waiting for someone to come and try to frag them. Trinity strafed and killed Gorn as he fired of a grenade from his rocket launcher and hit her directly. "Oof." She said as she limbed past the lift and picked up the Health packs. She heard Boris fire of behind her and she turned to see Nikita and Ivana running towards the control point and she killed Ivana as Nikita pushed her off again and she died from the fall…again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Xan watched the long battle between the two and Trinity seemed to play like any other rookie but then at the end of the match when her team had hit above 100 points she was unstoppable. She seemed to improve her team tactics and used the translocator as a survival tool. She translocated to rooftops to make shortcuts and surprise her opponent from the top as she killed them with one hit. She seemed to learn where was each weapon and power up because she was doing an unbelievable job. She ran faster as she had more stamina in her and her team was working with each other more. He noticed Boris pick up Trinity's moves as he too began using her tactics. Every time when she was pushed off the rig she tried to fall into the oil now which helped her survive many times. Trinity's aiming improved as well and he knew she was growing into a true champion and he was getting thoughts that she will have to fight him. She reminds him of someone but he's not sure whom. She has so much power and will in her it is obvious she wants to win for good.

Xan was also getting angry with Dessloch. He noticed how quietly he killed the opponents that were behind Trinity. He quietly helped her and she didn't even know. He can see that he cared for her and he doesn't like that one bit.

"Matrix? Go talk to our friend, Dessloch, after the match. Remind him something." Xan said to his slave robot who nodded and walked away.

(a/n): Whew! That was a long chapter, one of the longest! Anyway, I did my best on it. Metal Dream is a very hard map I'm serious. Try playing it on experience and you will be falling off all the time. I hate that map! You also need 200 points for it!!! Sigh. Well plzz review and tell me what you think.
