Matrix Fanfic
The Matrix: Crew Of The Athena
Chapter 2
Trigger and Dial were uploaded into the dojo martial arts training center.
"Why we here?" asked Trigger.
"To help hone in on your fighting skills."
"I can fight real good if I need to."
"Really? Show me then." Trigger charged. Dial moved liked Seraph. Dial even wore the same suit as Seraph. With a swift move, Dial evaded Triggers punch. Trigger never saw the punch that landed him on the floor.
"How did you hit me so fast? You had just evaded me."
"In the Matrix there are many rules. Some of these rules can be broken and some can be bent. In order to bend or break these rules you must learn to focus. The Agents will easily kill you if you don't learn to focus."
"So focusing is the key to the rules."
"Exactly." Dial took fighting stance as Trigger got up.
"Ready?"
"No. Not yet."
"Good." Dial used an axe kick to send Trigger to the ground again.
"I said I wasn't ready."
"Your never ready for the one that kills you. That's why you're here to train with me. Now get up. Quickly before I strike." Trigger was on his feet in a heart beat and took fighting stance.
"Good, your learning." Trigger charged. Dial focused and blew Trigger away with another punch.
"No fair. I can't focus yet."
"Then train yourself to focus during a fight. Until you do, we're staying in here." Trigger gritted his teeth. He got up and went into stance. Dial took stance. Dial was fighting exactly like Seraph, every motion overwhelmed Trigger.
"Not easy to take me down is it?" Trigger stood in stance. He was trying to focus for when Dial would attack.
"Focus," he said to himself silently. Dial seemed to move in slow motion. Trigger grinned. Then everything went into normal space.
"What the heck?" Dial caught Trigger off guard in his shock. A punch sent Trigger across the dojo. Trigger got up and wiped the blood from his mouth.
"I did it, but it stopped."
"Then you lost focus. You must maintain focus as you attack. It's complicated to do, but it helps when you master it." Dial charged for Trigger. Trigger leapt high over Dial's head and landed behind him. A leg sweep had Dial off his feet. Trigger punched downwards. Dial rolled and dodged. He kicked Trigger back. Trigger stepped back a few paces as Dial got to his feet.
"Good. You managed to focus while you were angry, allowing you to evade my attack and leap over me. Not only that you almost caught me off guard. That would've been a fatal flaw on my part." Trigger got into stance and charged. Dial would not be taken off guard so easily now. He dived to the side and evaded Triggers oncoming charge. Dial got up and took a katana from a nearby wall.
"Time for you to really focus." Dial slashed at Trigger. Trigger panicked and began to focus. The blade moved in slow motion. Trigger ducked under it and moved around behind Dial. Dial felt the punch drive itself into his back. He fell and got up. A flurry of punches were sent at Dial. He flowed with the movement of the punches, this way he dodged each one as they came at him.
A quick leg sweep landed Trigger on his butt.
"That's all for today."
"What do you mean?"
"I brought you here so you could learn to focus and you have done just that. You evaded my sword, got me to the ground and sent several punches at me within a second. You have done well." The two were jacked out of the program as Ami came.
"We got problems."
"What kind?"
"Sentinels. On the move this way."
"Is the ammo to the guns done being loaded?" She nodded. "Okay Viper lets get on those Sentinels. How many are there?"
"Five."
"Five. That's no problem." The two raced to different cannons as the proximity alert went off.
"Here we go Viper. You ready?"
"As I'll ever be." The Sentinels came into range.
"FIRE." The cannons roared as hot lead shredded through the Sentinels. They had misjudged the human ship and had fallen victim to it. The cannons smoked.
"Are there anymore on radar?"
"No. It's all clear."
"Good. Lets find someplace safe so we can get some sleep." The Athena flew off through the sewers until they found what they thought was a safe spot. Everyone went to their beds. For Dial and Trigger, it had been a long day.
