The Matrix: Crew Of The Athena
Authors Note: This story has nothing to deal with the adventures of Neo, Trinity, or Morpheus. This has to deal with a group of humans on board the ship Athena. The crew of the Nebuchadnezzar will appear now and then.
For those of you who don't know what the Matrix is, it is our world, so we think. Everything around us is a computer program made to simulate what the real world was once. The Human race created AI machines, not knowing what to think. It was a giant leap into the future we never knew of. The AI's grew a program that made allowed them to create their own kind. The machines needed energy to live. When they attacked, the Humans covered the sky. All seemed won. The machines soon found their new source of energy. Humans. Billions of us were grown because of the electrons in our body. We became their batteries.
Here they created the artificial world known as the Matrix. The only Human city that still stands is Zion. The Humans defend it through the Matrix and through the fierce battles outside their city. They search for the one. The one that will bring down the Matrix and set all the Humans free. If he is found, Zion will be safe and the Humans might be able to live in peace with the Machines. This is what they fight for.
Chapter 1
A ship shut its engines down and landed softly along the pipe way.
"What is it?" asked a blonde haired kid walking into the cockpit. His name was Dial.
"Sentinels."
"Should we have Plug ready the EMP."
"No."
"You sure."
"Dial you've known me a long time. You should know to trust me and my decisions." The ships captain, Ami, was confident in her decision to stay silent. The Sentinels appear on their radar. They checked the area then left. Everyone on the ship could breathe again.
"That was risky."
"Shut up. We're taking the new crew member to the Oracle."
"We are." Ami turned and looked at him.
"Stop questioning my orders. If you weren't my friend I'd have you booted off this ship in a heartbeat. They went to the plug in room. Four people laid in four seats.
"Plug us in." Plug smiled. He plugged each in one by one. They were put into the upload programming. Dial took up two Colt revolvers and a sub machine gun. His friend Viper took a 4mm Uzi and a katana. Ami armed herself with two sub machine guns.
"Let's go." They were uploaded into a small apartment room. It was filthy. The one they had with them was not armed. They were all dressed in black, complete with black trench coats. Everyone but the new crew member put on a pair of sun glasses. The kid was still frightened a little. The crew had named him Trigger do to he went trigger happy in the training simulation. Ami pulled out her phone.
"We're in." She closed it and they walked off. The three accompanied Trigger down the street. Everyone turned to look at them. They stood out among the crowd. They went to a tall apartment building.
"We can only open the door. You yourself must visit her." The four approached a green door. Inside stood a Chinese man in a white shirt.
"You must be here to see the Oracle." Trigger nodded. "I shall take you to her, but first you must forgive me."
"Forgive you for what?"
"For this." Seraph and Trigger began to fight. A series of blows landed on Trigger before the began to fight back. He leapt into the air and landed on Seraph pinning him to the ground. Seraph was stronger than he looked. He threw Trigger off him and stood. Trigger got into fighting stance, ready this time. Seraph put up a hand.
"Good. I had to be sure."
"Be sure of what?"
"That you were strong enough to fight back someone stronger than you."
"Why didn't you just ask?"
"Because you never really know someone until you fight them. Come."
"Yeah right. Your only saying that because I was about to go ballistic on you." Seraph did not turn or say anything. He led Trigger into a kitchen. There sat a woman at a table. She turned to him.
"I've been expecting you."
"You have?" The Oracle laughed.
"I see everything before it happens. That's why the Humans refer to me as the Oracle." Trigger remained silent. "I suppose you're here because they brought you." He nodded. "Well it wasn't them that brought you here, it was you." Trigger seemed confused. How did he bring himself here? He didn't even know about her.
"You see, we control our destinies. You found them. You led yourself here. You freed your own mind. Now all you have to do is complete what you were destined to do."
"What is that?"
"You'll know when the time is right!" Trigger didn't know what that meant. Seraph came and swept him out without a word. He was put back in the hallway. There Ami, Dial and Viper waited for him.
"Let's go," said Ami. They began to walk away when her phone rang. She opened it.
"What is it Plug?"
"Agents and the S.W.A.T. team on their way to your position." She turned to the others, hung up and put her phone away.
"What is it?"
"Agents."
"What?" asked Trigger confused. Before he knew it, one of the three had grabbed him and began dragging him along. Viper pulled out his phone.
"Operator."
"Get me an exit, quick."
"There's one on the top floor in room 387."
"Gotcha." Viper hung up and put away his phone. "Top floor, room 387." Ami nodded. The three dragged Trigger along faster. They heard the storming of feet behind them.
"Keep going and don't look back." Ami tossed a smoke grenade she had snuck with them behind her. That would provide them with some cover. Gunfire went off behind them Trigger saw it passing by in slow motion.
"What the?" The four began their flight up the stairs. There were 6 more floors to cover before they got to the phone. Dial placed a revolver in one of Trigger's hands.
"Don't go trigger happy with this or you'll be dead fast. It only has six bullets in it."
"I know that." The four ran along, passing by doors. Every now and then an agent would pop out and take a shot at them. The agent missed by a few centimeters. Trigger turned and took one shot. The agent sidestepped behind a door and the four kept running. It seemed endless. Only one more floor to go. Ami looked back and saw it was clear. She ran into a door an agent had opened. She fell and the agent looked at her. He aimed at her heart.
Dial lunged and tackled the agent. He struggled to keep the agent pinned.
"GO," he yelled for the others to go. They passed him. Dial punch the agent out and ran behind them. The agents were close now. The other agent had slowed them down. They reached room 387. The phone inside rang. Viper closed and shut the door.
Trigger picked up the phone. It fell as he was sucked back to reality. Ami hung it up. It rang again and she picked it up. She disappeared too. Dial hung it back up. It rang.
"Go Dial. I got the door."
"No you go. I can't watch one of my friends die." Before Viper could protest, Dial pressed the phone against his ear.
"You bast-." Viper was sucked back to reality. Dial hung up the phone. He picked it up and was sucked in as the agents popped in and opened fire. They had just missed their target. They all turned and left.
Dial was unplugged and got up in a flash. He hugged everyone in his joy. He could've died, but he didn't. Viper looked as if he was about to kill him. Dial didn't care, it had seemed like a good idea at the time. Viper eventually laughed and danced a stupid crazy dance Dial had just started doing. The crew laughed. The ship started back up to go find a new place to hide, they couldn't risk being found by the Machines. That would just lead to their deaths.
They found a nice little place far enough from Zion so the Machines wouldn't find it, but close enough so they could retreat to it. It wouldn't be long before they would face trouble. Trouble always popped up in the real world. There the ship laid. The cannons were at ready. So was the EMP. Any Sentinels that came by would have trouble with them.
The crew of the Athena had been specially put together. The ones on board would risk their lives to protect Zion, no matter what the cost. The cannons searched around. The proximity alert was on if any Sentinels tried to pull a sneak attack on them. No way would they get by them. There was only one way into Zion the Gates. The gates had automated weapons, but rumor was that the machines had found a weak point in Zion. The crew of the Athena would not let them get to it. On their lives. Ami called Dial to the bridge. Since she was the captain, he had to abide by the rules set by her. He reported to the bridge. Ami sat and offered him a seat.
"Yes Ami."
"I wanted to apologize for what I said earlier."
"It's okay. You were under a lot of stress, I understand that."
"There's no excuse for what I did. I shouldn't have did it."
