The Matrix: Crew Of The Athena
Chapter 5
"How do you plan on doing that?"
"Hopefully it's not suicidal." Ami glared at Viper. The glare was enough to shut him up.
"I don't know yet but I'm going to visit the Oracle if the virus hasn't already infected her. I'm meeting her tonight."
"I'm sorry I couldn't help but hear. You said you're going in alone."
"That's right. I'm not risking my crew's lives. I will do whatever it takes to take to find out the source of the virus. Even if it means risking my life. Now everyone get to your rooms. Except you Plug, I need you here." Everyone knew it was futile to argue. They walked away. Ami turned to Plug.
"Plug me in. If anything happens. Put a blank space on our crew's staff and find a new crewmate."
"Captain, I'll worry about that after your dead." She smiled and lay back in the chair as he plugged her in. She took a silenced handgun and a flashlight. She was uploaded outside the park. It was empty. The sun was beginning to set. She turned her flashlight on and proceeded into the park as the moon came up.
"Here we go." She found the Oracle sitting on a bench. Seraph stood next to it, holding a lantern. Ami approached the Oracle.
"Well hello Ami. It's been a while. It's good to see you again."
"Same here Oracle. You do know why I'm here right?"
"I wouldn't be an Oracle if I didn't." Ami sat next to the Oracle.
"Listen to me hun. Not everything in this world was meant to live forever. Not even me. Soon I will be deleted and a new program will take my place."
"I understand that."
"Also, everything in this world has a positive and negative side. Even you. Everything is based on a system of control."
"Cause and effect."
"Correct. Now sometimes you must take in effect in order for their to be another cause. Like I was made Oracle and by accepting that I created a new cause."
"A cause to help the human race."
"Precisely."
"But also for the negative and positive to co-exist, they must remain separate. If they don't, they will collapse. This would lead to their end. These are my words for now, but I must go now." She got up and was escorted away by Seraph. Ami sat there trying to understand what all that had to do with the Viruses'. Tory got up and was about to pull out her cell phone when she heard a noise.
She pointed the light and the handgun at a bush. A cat jumped out and ran off. Ami jumped and sighed.
"Stupid cat." As she put away her handgun and pulled out her cell phone, a virus leapt and tackled her to the ground. She pointed the flashlight at it and pull the trigger several times. It fell after five bullets. She got up and looked around. From behind her, another virus knocked the light and handgun out her hands. She then felt herself fly a significant distance from the force of a kick. She was disarmed, almost. She couldn't block the several blows that hit her because her eyes had not yet filtered the dark. When they did she took stance and blew away the virus attacking.
Plug's screen snapped back. He sighed. He was about to relax when it went haywire again.
"Damn."
Viruses surrounded Ami. She could tell there were at least ten. She took fighting stance. They charged. She swept one off its feet and let it topple to the ground. It tripped two others. She leapt over the others and pushed one into another one. This wouldn't help at all. She began her furious attack. Virus after virus fell, but more came. She could just couldn't take it anymore. She picked up a thick stick and took them all out. She picked up her ringing cell phone.
"Plug?"
"It's not over yet. There's more around you."
"I don't know if I can stand all this fun."
"You better. I don't need dead commander on any of my resumes." She laughed and hung up her cell phone. From behind her, a virus swung a large stick into her back. Ami fell to her knees. The viruses' took advantage of the situation in order to attack. Ami was conscious long enough to receive several blows before she lost her consciousness. The viruses' picked her up and carried her off. Behind them, her cell phone rang and rang.
Plug through down his headset. He had to wake everyone and tell them what was happening.
