Prologue
The city of Zion was crowded with freed minds of the Matrix. Within the crowd, two men were carrying their heavy luggage, trying to make way into the dock.
"Yeah, please run into me lady, while I have half of my home on my back." said one of the men. He was a tall structured man, around his early twenties. Broad shoulders and worked out body gave him the look of a superior. Like most residents of Zion, he and his friend wore the basic rugged clothes that contained no fashion or luxury, except to serve the role of covering his body. The frustrated look on his face caused his friend to laugh, for the man had hair dyed the color of indigo. The partner stopped laughing and finally spoke.
"Dauphin, our ships ready to launch, you cant blame the people who- excuse me( A man shoved right into his shoulder )-run into you, that bastard didn't even say "excuse me".
"Glee, look who's talking now Frey," teased Dauphin. Frey fiddled around the strap to his luggage. Like Dauphin, Frey was tall but a few inches shorter than him. Spiked black hair, dark facial hair, and clean shaved face made him look a few years younger than 22, not to mention his long and lanky body. After minutes of struggling with luggage and people, they arrived at the elevator. Through the glass they watched Zion, their subterranean home, the only one that remained. The core of it were the houses, that were as that of capsules, no bigger than a 2 room nook. The bridges, stairways, and caves, busy with thousands of people.
"Sometimes its hard to leave this place, but then again every time we come here, we have to leave." Frey sighed, while Dauphin nodded his head, "Leave rest, safety, Corydon." "Frey, Corydon's fine, she's knows what you do, and you do what you know best. As for rest and safety, we provide that for Zion. For how much longer, no one can say." Dauphin continued to gaze and daydream, until he mumbled, "I hope its soon."
The elevator stopped, and the two got their luggage and made way to the dock. Inside, their ship was the only one in the hangar at the moment. Just near the ship, they found one of their crew members, discussing the ship to newcomer.
"The Archeron is in three sections, the front of which is a huge dome, and the middle is like a rectangle, almost like a giant storage area. And then they have the magnetic force plates which hover around the vehicle at all
times in order to keep it afloat. The back has engines and rockets all over it. There is an area for two mounted turrets and a place for an EMP gun. Cross, you listening?!"
"Frey and Dauphin, I couldn't sleep, I need to start training right now!" said the anxious but new Cross. The woman right next to him stood there with her arms crossed. "Oh never mind Cross, what's going on Frey, Dauphin?", her soft voice made the three guys smiled. Everyone on the Archeron knows the voice of Echo, and its effects. Her fashion in clothes was high class, as far as Zion goes. Though basic, she wore blue jeans and a white tank top. With short blonde hair, blue eyes, and smooth skin, Echo was a charmer.
"Hey Echo, I see Cross is excited to start, well so are we? Is everything set, ready to go?" asked Frey.
"Are you the captain?" Dauphin asked back, "Prepare to launch the Archeron Echo, we got work to do. Cross, prepare for your training."
"Yes sir," the two obeyed, then walked in the ship. No sooner had Frey and Dauphin took two steps into the platform when a short Asian girl the same age as them came walking out to see them.?
"Jord!" the two exclaimed.
"Guys! Where you been?"
"Busy, harassed by people"
"Tired, of carrying this shit"
"Ohhh too bad, well just to let you know, I'm staying here on Zion. Sorry but I'm not tagging along with you guys this time."
"Why?" Frey questioned.
"Because the Council needs someone to represent the Archeron, and since we hardly speak with the council, I figured whatever they tell, I'll let you know."
"Smart Jord, even out of the Matrix your a life saver"
"Thanks Dauphin, by the way, expect a transmission from someone anytime soon. You two take care, and don't killed."
And with that, Jord stepped out and headed towards Zion. With a newcomer to train, and mission to be heard, Frey and Dauphin finally walked into the Archeron, where they did nothing but hope they'd return again.
