Chapter26: The Perfect Plan

            Trinity was sitting in one of the energized cells, alone. She was shocked, scared, confused and angry. She didn't know what to think. How could Dessloch do this to her? After all they went through, all those nights of talking and encouragements were nothing but lies. He was a spy after all, no matter how much she wanted to deny it he was still a spy. She was right all along but he was not a spy for Xan, he was spying for the United Legions or as she knew it, the League.

            She had no words as thoughts ripped at her mind so fast that she couldn't bulletin them fast enough. All those days when he saved her, all those nights when he encouraged her was nothing more but to gain her trust. But why? Couldn't he have done it earlier? Why do this now, why get to know her first and than break it all away. Was it because he wanted to hurt her? Trinity shook her head in denial but she knew it won't help.

            Trinity looked at her hands as tears went down her cheeks. She didn't force them back; she just let everything out as she cried into her knees, sitting on the floor. Memories flashed by her mind as she cried more and more. The first time she met Dessloch and refused him to be in jail and welcomed him to her team.

            She closed her eyes when she remembered when Dessloch saved her from the Skraaj, killing her slowly. How she was thrown from room to room and there he was, Dessloch with a gun, saving her, caring for her. A picture came into her mind when she has stabbed him, believing he was a spy and he didn't do anything about it but just walk away.

            The talk in the park about not competing in the tournament, how he loved her and cared for her. She started to sob louder, letting out all of her distress and sorrow. She has gone through so much, the loss of her father, the loss of her friend, Zack and finally reunited with him. Then Dessloch, he has hurt her heart the most. She thought she loved him. LOVED him, not liked him. She thought she was in love, a love so pure and sweet. A love she thought she would never have.

            And then there he was, pointing a gun straight at her heart, her heart that has been completely given to him without hesitation or guilt. She has surrendered to him without a doubt; she thought she was happy and that all will be fine.

            But now, she won't even be fighting Xan. Everything was ripped from her at that moment. All her dreams of avenging her father faltered, her love has vanished, and her determination was destroyed. All these years training for a day that she thought would come has been all wasted just to go into prison. What was worse was that the League knew who she was, and now Trinity is no more.

            She still had her suit and mask but why else would they arrest her. Dessloch, also, knew who she was because he found out on the day he saved her from that monster. Trinity has nothing to live for anymore. She just needed one more day and she would face Xan, but she wasn't fast enough. No matter how bad she wanted it, she couldn't freeze time because the time is untouchable.

            Now she wonders what's going on in the tournament. Will Malcolm fight Xan will Malcolm win? Now she couldn't do nothing but pray for Malcolm to win.

            Trinity never saw this coming, she is still shocked that actually Dessloch did this to her. Dessloch, the man she loved with all her heart has betrayed her and she doesn't know if she would be able to forgive him for all the lies she endured from him and the pain he has given her. She felt worse than getting shot by a minigun. Her body didn't hurt, her heart did. Her heart was drowning in its tears, the heart that was destroyed so long ago, and redeemed back to life only to be crushed under its own doubt.

            Trinity was, also, taken back how Zack wasn't there. There to see Dessloch's face and ask what on Earth was he doing. She believed in Zack to always be there for her, but not even Superman is there all the time, and for Trinity, Zack was Superman. She loved him like a brother or a father, like family, and was almost certain that he will be there to save her when she needs him. But she was wrong, Zack wasn't there, Zack probably doesn't even know.

            Trinity didn't know what the future holds but she won't be hoping for anything. She just wants to be left alone forever. She didn't want to see another human being anymore; she just wanted to be left alone. Trinity dug her face into her knees that she was hugging and fell into the abyss of endless nightmares.

            "Xan, we have a situation." Kira said next morning as she came in with file reports in one of her hands as a coffee in her other. "What's the matter, I'm busy. I'm fighting Trinity this morning. Are the traps set?" He asked her as he was checking his suit. "You won't be needing them." She said as she dropped the files onto his desk.

            "I appreciate that you feel so confident in me, but Trinity's suit if far more superior." Kira sat in the chair with a very calm expression as always. "You are not fighting Trinity." She checked out her nails and took out a file from her purse. "What are you talking about, she has won the ladder." "Yes and she, also, got herself arrested." Xan froze and stopped what he was doing. After a minute he shot a look at her. "What do you mean she got herself arrested? The Liandri troops got her?"

            Kira shook her head, as she didn't even look at him. "No, the United Legions arrested her yesterday after the match." "What!? The League?  But that is horrible, I can't do anything to her if she's in their custody, but why did they arrest her?" Kira quit her filing and looked at Xan with a dumb expression. "It was you who told the Liandri to arrest her."

            Xan banged on the table with his fist and it jumped. "I only told the Liandri to arrest her." Kira was very tranquil and didn't much care about Xan's banging. "The League has access to every radio wave signal, they probably caught your order." Xan growled as he turned around in anger. "I should have secured the line." He said quietly and Kira nodded. "Yes, you should have."

            Xan turned around and looked at Kira who was very calm. "Well, for the better, I guess. Call Malcolm; say that he is the runner up winner and that he should be prepared. Postpone the tournament for two hours. Well, I guess this is a goodbye to Trinity. Maybe I'll pay her visit after this is over." Kira smiled at Xan's words. "Well the League has done my dirty work themselves I guess I won't be needing the traps. But just in case, you and Matrix know how to operate this, am I correct?" Kira nodded in response.

            "Thank you, Kira you have been very helpful throughout this year. Well I must be going, wish me luck Kira." Xan walked towards the exit. "You won't be needing luck, Xan. You are the true winner and no one can defeat you." Kira responded and went back to filing her nails and Xan looked back at her. "Thank you, Kira." He said and went away. "You're welcomed." Kira mumbled as her attention concentrated on her nails.

            Trinity was awaked by a guard who called out her name. Trinity looked up towards the guard, as she was partially asleep. "Are you Trinity?" The guard asked her and Trinity nodded, feeling the dried up tears on her cheek. "You have a visitor." Trinity suddenly felt completely awake at the guard's voice and wondered who could it be. She thought it was Zack and she was kind of starting to hope it was Zack.

            Trinity's heart started to burn with anger as she watched the man she loved and now hates come into view. "You." She whispered her word as harshly as she could. She felt like a wolf, ready to strike at him. Dessloch thanked the guard as he opened her cell and Dessloch went in. He waited for the guard to close the door and walk away before he came up to Trinity.

            "Trinity, we need to talk." He said, coming up to her but she was up on her feet and backed away into the back wall. "Stay away from me." She hissed at him as she felt anger was releasing from her and if he would make one step forward, she would rip him to pieces.

            Unfortunately for her he didn't make a step forward so she didn't lunge at him, as she wanted to. "Trinity, I know what you thinking." "No you don't!" She spit back as she was ready to kill him on the spot. "I had faith in you and you have betrayed and lied to me. How could you ever forgive yourself!?" She screamed her words out and Dessloch didn't move as he looked to the floor. "You are right Trinity, I would never forgive myself, that is why I'm hoping you will forgive me yourself someday."

            Trinity nearly shrieked at those words. "Don't even count on it, Dessloch. I will never forgive you so don't you go hoping, because there is no hope or fate!" Dessloch didn't even blink at her as he stood there with no expression and Trinity's blood was boiling as she knotted her fists.

            "Out of all the people in the world, it had to be you. Why? Couldn't you let me run? Couldn't you let me escape?" She whispered her words but remembered that this man was never in love with her. It was all an act, an act to wheel her out, an act to gain her trust. She gritted her teeth at how she has been used. She was broken and this man has stepped over the line.

            "It had to be done, Trinity." He said, calmly, reminding her of how Zack said the same thing to Dessloch at the infirmary. She shrieked and lunged at him. He caught both of her hands before she could blink an eye and started to resist. "Let go of ME!" She screamed as she pulled at different directions, shrieking with agony at how this man still touched her.

            "Trinity, listen to me." She felt his grip tighten and Trinity couldn't believe what was happening. He was hurting her, he has hurt her heart and he came to watch her suffer physically. She wouldn't take this she won't allow this. Trinity shrieked again and pulled back and wounded a knee in his groin. Dessloch let go off her and she swung a punch at his face and he fell against the energized bars. He screamed as the bars burned his back and fell to his knees.

            She felt better when she heard him scream, the man that has hurt her, the man that has killed her spirit will suffer for this. Trinity took his shoulders and tried to hit him with her knee but he caught it and pushed it back. He got up and rushed at her, pinning her against the wall with his strong body. "Trinity, listen to me!" She knew his temper has burst and she didn't care as she tried to resist him but he was too strong.

            She shrieked again and Dessloch covered her mouth with his hand. She was outraged by this and bit his hand, hard, tasting his blood which tasted so sweet. Dessloch took his hand away and pulled back to punch her. Trinity's eyes widened as she watched him swung a punch at her and closed her eyes. But she never felt the hit she didn't feel anything as she dropped to floor.

            She opened her eyes and saw Dessloch standing, looking through the bars. He never hit her, he didn't have it in him and Trinity didn't know what to say. She was expecting him to kill her in here. "I'm sorry, Trish." He said it with his voice very low. He looked at her and she could have sworn that she saw a tear run down his cheek as he watched her. "I shouldn't have come here." He put something on the bed and called for the guard. "I brought you, something. Hope you will change your mind." He said. "I never wanted to hurt you, Trish." He looked at her.

            The guard came in and opened the cell and Dessloch stepped out. "Goodbye, Trish. I'll see you around." He left Trinity, sitting against a wall. Trinity took a look at what he has left and it was a medallion. She crawled towards it and took it with her shaky hands. It was the Blood Reavers medallion she has won for the first place, with her name engraved on the bottom. A tear went down her face as she brought the medallion close to her heart and wept.

            Time past and Trinity didn't know how much. She didn't care since it didn't matter anymore. Malcolm was probably facing Xan. She was speechless. She was drowning in her own pool of doubt. She didn't know what to think. Was Dessloch being sincere, or he just didn't want her to be against him. She didn't know and she doesn't know want to think about it.

            She was so lost and confused that she felt like a child. A child she has been. She felt like a kid she was before, dreaming of the same thing.

            Trinity was in the dark, dimming in the forest as she walked through, feeling lost. "Where am I?" She asked herself as she looked around. "Zack?" She asked as she looked around feeling completely hopeless. And she was hopeless because she never did have hope, to her hope doesn't exist; it is something a man made up to make himself feel better.

            Trinity walked through the woods, following the moon's lit path. Her life was cursed. Trinity was cursed herself and she soon started to believe it. How else would you describe it? Long ago, she would have said this was a coincidence but today she would say that she has been cursed. She can't quite explain it.

            "I have always been alone." She whispered to herself and fell to her knees, tired from walking from such a long way.

            "Tanya, Tanya!" A voice called out and Trinity jumped to her feet. She whipped her head back and forth, trying to look through the wilderness. "Zack?" She asked as she looked around, seeing no one through the mist.

            "Dada?" Trinity looked at the child who was running through the woods as she looked in all directions. "Dada, it's not funny anymore!" The little girl wailed as she called for her father again. Trinity's heart almost died when she watched the little blackhead with bright blue sapphire eyes drop to the floor. The little girl hugged her knees and began to cry.

            Trinity started to walk towards her but noticed someone come up to her and tears dripped down her face to the ground. "Father?" She whispered the word as she watched him look at the girl. "Tanya." He called out to the little girl and the girl jumped into his arms. "Dada!" She screamed in happiness. "Why are you crying?" He asked her as he took her chin. "I thought you left me." The little girl innocently said as she hugged her father.

            "Now why would I do that?" Her father asked the girl as he put her down and wiped her tears away. Trinity closed her eyes. "Because you have a tournament to fight." Trinity simply said. "Look at this, honey. Do you know what this is?" He took out a sapphire and showed it to the little girl. Trinity's hand went up to her neck as she touched the necklace that had her sapphire on it.

            "A diamond?" The girl asked, staring at the beauty of it. Her father chuckled and crouched next to her as Trinity felt her knees go weak. "No, crystal-eyes." Trinity wiped her tears away at his saying. "It's your birthstone, sapphire." The girl was mesmerized as she was given the pretty thing. "What's a birthstone?" She looked up at her father with curious eyes, and Trinity fell to the floor, watching the two.

            "A birthstone is a stone that represents your time of birth." Her father said and picked up the little girl. "Oooohhh." The little girl trailed off as she watched. Trinity noticed how her father was uneasy. He didn't have a happy expression when the little girl didn't look. "Don't go, father." She whispered.

            "Honey, I want you to take this with you." Trinity closed her eyes as the father put the girl down. "Always carry it with you, understand. It will remind you of me." Trinity grabbed her stone and tears went down her face, as she didn't want to hear the rest. "But daddy, I see you everyday. Why do I need such thing?" But the girl's father was gone. Trinity's heart was torn apart, hearing the cries of the girl.

            Trinity looked away and noticed her father walking away. "Don't you run away from me!" Trinity ran towards her father and with a blink of an eye, he was gone. "Father?" She asked as she dropped to her knees. "Father!" She screamed for him and was swallowed by the enigma.  

            Trinity woke up and thought it was just a dream. A dream she still remembered from when her father disappeared from her life forever. "Trinity, it is time." She looked up at a strange man. "Time?" She asked with confusion and the cell was opened as two mercenaries towed her out of the cell.

            "Good morning, Trinity. I am Carlton Gear and I'm in charge of the prisoner system here at the United Legions. You are arrested for some reasons do not get us wrong. So we are here to discuss those reasons and be as flexible as possible. This is not an interrogation more of like a friendly chat of why you have been arrested. If there is any problem you will have time to discuss that as well but we will not waste any time and I will get straight to the point." Trinity listened to Gear as she was seated in front of the desk, opposite of him. The two mercenaries stood behind her and she could feel their presence.

            "The first and main reason you are under arrest is that you are Tanya Menace. You have illegally hacked into the Liandri files and concealed your face when you have joined the Unreal Tournament." Trinity closed her eyes, as she couldn't believe that the League knew it all along. So why didn't they tell Xan? 

            "But due to unsure ness, we have not let this information out and decided to dig in further." Gear opened up a few files which contained the pictures of her home. Trinity saw that he was looking at the picture of the secret room where she found her suit. "All the evidence point to you, and instead of making the Liandri suspicious, knowing they will hold you there for their own will, we decided to make this covert."

            Trinity couldn't believe it. They didn't tell Xan, Xan doesn't have a clue to why she was here. "Another reason you are arrested for is that you are wanted by the Liandri Corp." His voice was even, smooth, and cold as Trinity's heart felt. "You seemed to be guilty of many charges, by breaking the Unreal Tournament laws, visiting the Red Bunker, all that crap they see as crime." He chuckled a little and Trinity's jaw almost dropped but she forced it close.

            "The last reason you are guilty is for the murder of one of the Liandri's soldiers who was involved in a shootout." The man closed the files and folded his hands on top of them. Trinity didn't look at his eyes. She didn't know what to say. "But since you are part of a contract signed by the Liandri leader we can't do anything about it. This contract states that if the leader of a certain group wins the tournament becomes a free individual, free from charge." He took out the papers Trinity recognized. She and Xan signed those papers that say that if she wins the tournament the team will be freed individuals.

            "And since you are part of the 'Blood Reavers' you still have a shot at the tournament and gain your freedom as this contract states." Trinity looked up at him, as she was shocked. She understood what he was saying. But who has given him the contract and the files. "How did you get the files?" She asked, too shocked to say anything else. She watched the man smile and look past her. "A very old friend of the United Legions has paid a visit after your arrest, giving us the proof you need to get out of here."

            A mercenary un-cuffed her and Trinity turned around to see the man that has never let her down before. "Zack!" She said his name with joy as she threw her arms around him. Zack hugged her back and she felt how he kissed her on her forehead. "Now, you two. Get out of here before my boss gets here." The man said and Trinity thought he was an old buddy of Zack. "Thanks, Carl, we will." Zack said and they both went away into the hallways.

            The cars and people zipped by fast as the two sat in the vehicle, Zack driving and concentrating on the road. "Thank you." Trinity said it finally, aware that this is real. She saw Zack smiled but he didn't look at her. His eyes stuck to the terrain, watching every movement. Trinity smiled and sat back in the comfortable seat, wondering does she want to know how all of this happened. Then a silent voice told her that she should ask.

            Trinity sat up and looked at Zack. "Zack? I need to ask you something." Zack nodded to show that he was listening. "How did you know I was arrested?" She leaned on one side but Zack stayed where he was. He sighed and said, "Dessloch called the League to get you, that's how I know. It was part of a plan, Tanya. A plan to make sure you fight a fair match." Trinity felt different emotions as he said his words. She felt a little betrayed and, also, felt happy that she is still fighting Xan.

            "When I came to this tournament." Zack continued as he made a turn on the streets. "The League almost was as happy as Xan. So they have given me an assignment, telling me if I want to free myself from the League and the Liandri that I should do it." Zack paused for Trinity to break everything down and understand it. "The assignment was simple, but I didn't know if I had the guts to do it. I had to seek out someone by the name Dessloch and tell him that if he catches Trinity for them, as an inside job, than he will be bought from the Liandri and freed."

            Trinity stared at him as she heard him say that. "At that time, I didn't know who was Dessloch or Trinity but certainly the League did. They decided they wouldn't tell me, and when I found out about that Dessloch was Luther and you were Tanya, I didn't tell Luther anything. I didn't want anything happening to you because I know what you have gone through.

            "But now, the tournament started and you will fight Xan. As being a member of the Red Team with Kira watching me all the time I've learned that Xan has something up his sleeve. I didn't like what he was planning and I was afraid for you. Dessloch wasn't stupid, either. He's been in this tournament for years, he already had a clue of what's going on, that's why nobody wanted you to go."

            Trinity was confused and lost. So much information that still doesn't make sense and Zack still didn't get to the point. "So, why arrest me?" She asked. This time Zack looked at her but only for a minute. "If you were arrested, Xan would postpone the tournament, and he did. For two hours, I've heard. He will be against Malcolm. He wouldn't be needing setting any traps for Malcolm because Xan is sure he is going to win." Trinity was catching on and she already knew what he is going to say.

            "So what we will do is exchange you with Malcolm at the Lift Hallway and when they call out Malcolm's name you get on the stage. Don't listen to anyone just press the button and fight with him." Trinity smiled and wanted to hug Zack for such a brilliant plan. "But I'll need to make sure Xan's pets didn't turn on the traps again, so I have to go into his office and make sure the traps will be off." Trinity looked at him with surprise. "But couldn't you shut them down when I would be fighting him by default?"

            She watched Zack shake his head. "No, the security would be tight, but now that you would make your performance, the Liandri troops will be rushing at you, so security will be light. You get my drift?" She nodded and sat back as she took a deep breath in. "Why did it have to be Dessloch to this to me?" Zack looked at her. "Because he was given the assignment, not me. My role was to get you out, because I have friends in high places AND because I can get out of the Liandri building."

            "So basically Dessloch is innocent, he's not a spy?" Trinity sounded like a child. She has hurt him pretty bad this morning, accusing him of such terrible things. Will he ever forgive her? "I need to go apologize." Trinity said to Zack and Zack shot a look at her. "What for?" "He visited me today, saying sorry and I didn't accept it." Trinity lowered his head in shame. "Wait a minute." Zack said. "He wasn't supposed to meet you. He can't exit the Liandri building because he is on the Blue Team."

            Trinity was a speechless. Zack was right. "He must have sneaked out like he tried long time ago." Zack nodded in agreement. "Probably but if he was caught, he'll be in a lot of trouble." Trinity wanted to hide. He risked his life, freedom, and rank just to say sorry to here. Trinity felt terrible for pushing him out while he was apologizing. Dessloch didn't apologize a lot.

            Trinity looked at Zack again as a thought shut up in her head. "Hold up a second. If criminals are not allowed to leave, how did you get here?" Zack nodded. "I'm on the Red Team. 'Supposedly' there are no criminals on the Red Team. So I got out. Speaking of criminals, by the way." Zack parked the car in front of the Liandri building. "Since the League knows that you are Tanya Menace, you are not allowed to be the champion of the tournament."

            Trinity looked at him with a shocked expression. "What?" She asked as she refused to hear of what he said earlier. "That's the rule, Tanya, you can't change it. As long as you get a chance to kill Xan, you should be grateful." Zack got of the car but Trinity stayed. She watched Zack come around his vehicle and open her door. "Come on, Tanya." He said, taking her hands and pulling her out of the car. "You have a tournament to fight."

            The two of them rushed to the Lift Hallway as Visor tried to stop them but it was too late. The glass doors were opened automatically and Trinity didn't ask why, she thought it was part of the plan. They ran to the lift and went up to a hallway were Malcolm stood. "About time you showed up." Malcolm said as he came up to the both of them. "Well, sweetie, go kick his ass." Trinity smiled and nodded. "Right."

            "Trinity, I have to go now." Zack said and hugged her. "I need to make sure everything is fine." Before he ran away, Trinity grabbed his hand. "Matrix will be there with Kira, you can't handle them alone." Zack smiled and cupped her face. "Don't worry I made a promise to that old scrap-metal and what about Kira? What she gonna do? Scratch me to death?" Trinity wanted to laugh but she loved him too much to risk his life. She hugged him. "Be careful." She whispered under her breath and Zack nodded. "I will, now go out there and kick some ass."

            Zack went down the lift with Malcolm and Trinity turned to the lift that will take her up to stadium. The announcer has started. "Everyone, welcome to the Unreal Tournament. Today is the day we all been waiting for. Finally the Ladder Champion will fight Xan Kriegor in a bloody battle that will be picked out randomly." She heard people cheer. "Unfortunately, Trinity of the Blood Reavers will not be joining us today or any other day due to many reasons. She is out of the tournament. The next runner up will take her place."

            The crowd booed and she could almost imagine them throwing food at the announcer. She smiled at the thought as she wished it would really happen. "Everyone, please welcome Xan Kriegor." The crowd was dead quiet when she could feel how heavy Xan is, she felt how he walked each step to the center, she heard his metallic screech, he was no longer human as she thought.

            "The runner up is Malcolm!" She heard the crowd cheer and Trinity was scared a little. She started to come up to the lift and it took her up to the stadium. Trinity faced the roaring chamber that soon became quiet. "Why!? Why it's Trinity." The announcer said as she slowly came up to the middle and Xan seemed to stare at her. "You." He said and Trinity nodded. "Yes, me." She said and looked at the crowd. "Who are you?" Xan asked her and Trinity was tired of hiding. She will rip this man apart and she will make sure he would know whom she is.

            "My name is Tanya Menace." Trinity took off her mask and glasses as everyone gasped and the announcer lost conciseness. "You have killed my father and for that, I shall kill you."
