The Matrix: Crew Of The Athena
Chapter 8
Evil Dial smiled.
"They're here."
The doors that had been boarded up burst open. The three viruses jumped to their feet and dashed for their guns. As they did that, the three clad in black opened fire. Bullets flew in every direction. The viruses' fell, full of smoking holes.
"Bad security duty. You think for so many, they'd have more."
"Bet they didn't think anyone would find them."
"Let's go." The three began to walk forward when the door ahead burst open. Dial dropped his gatling gun and dived behind the lobby desk. The other two hid behind pillars, reloading their guns.
"Jesus Christ. They have better security than we thought." Dial loaded to 4mm Uzi's. The rain of bullets from the viruses' didn't seem to end.
"Oh for the love of god." Viper armed a flash grenade and threw it.
"BLIND." Everyone covered their eyes like standard procedure until they heard the soft bang. They then popped out and opened fired. The virus group didn't stand a chance. Some managed to hide from the grenade and fired on them. They hid again to reload.
"Hey you guys. I think its time we showed these things who they're messing with."
"Yeah."
"For the human race man." The three charged out. Dodging bullets and firing back at their hunters. The remaining viruses' didn't stand a chance. The kung fu mixed with guns was unbearable for them. They dropped quickly. Dial threw aside his two guns and took up his gatling gun again.
"Let's proceed." They walked through the door.
Evil Dial smiled forcefully.
"They came prepared. They aren't just rushing into things. These people have been through battles before. Get the girl. I want her into a virus before they get here." The virus standing next to the chair nodded and walked off. "It's time we spiced things up a bit."
The third wave of viruses' fell.
"Damn. There's a whole lot of them."
"It seems we might have underestimated their numbers."
"Tell me about it. I don't think I have enough ammo for all of them."
"Don't worry guys. For every problem there is a source. We take out that source and the problem withers away."
"Oh stop showing off and continue. They came to what looked like an empty room where there was a chair with a virus guarding. It went to draw its gun. Viper and Trigger shot it down.
"SHOW YOURSELF YOU SCUM."
"If you wish," said Evil Dial with a smile.
Ami felt the arms grasp her. Her senses had returned to her. She could see the viruses' face. It was accompanied by three guards. She couldn't fight them in such a tight space. They would gun her down fast. She allowed them to lead her to the end of the hallway. They opened a door. Inside was what looked like an electric chair. Connected to the helmet was some sort of box with a slot. On a table laid a variety of silver sphere's. So this was it. They were gonna turn her into a virus.
"Like hell you will," she said softly. She flipped the guard holding her arm and swept two off their feet. The third went for his gun. She slipped behind him and used his arm and gun. She gunned down the scientist virus. The other three got up and drew their guns. They shot their comrade. Ami used the dead body as a shield as she gunned down the last three. She took their weapons and ran down the corridor. She remember the way from hours earlier.
The chair spun around. The guns almost fell out of their hands.
"Who the hell are you?" asked Dial aiming his gatling gun.
"I wouldn't do that. You know that everything in this world has a positive and a negative right?"
"What does that have to do with anything?" Evil Dial got out of his seat and approached them. Dial's grip tightened on the gatling gun.
"Well Dial, here I am. Your negative."
"Go to hell. Your just playing mind games."
"Am I? Are you willing to kill me when I can order your captain to be shot?" Dial froze.
"Exactly. I suggest you put your guns down." Nobody moved. "Or I could snap my fingers and she'll be dead," said Evil Dial stepping directly in front of them. Dial nodded. They were hesitant, but they put down their guns. Evil Dial kicked them away.
"That's what I expect from all you humans. Cooperation." At that moment the doors burst open. Everyone turned to look to see who it was. Ami stepped through. "Hell. I hate it when plans go wrong." With three swift movements he knocked the three to the floor.
"NO!" Ami yelled, aiming her gun. Evil Dial had time to take a handgun from Trigger before running. Ami fired. The bullets whizzed by Evil Dial's head. Ami just couldn't seem to hit him. He seemed to be moving faster than he looked. Her gun clicked in her hand. She dropped it. She failed. She didn't stop the virus. She had failed her crew.
"It's over," said Evil Dial aiming his handgun. Ami closed her eyes and accepted she was about to die. She waited for the gun shot. It never came. She opened her eyes. Dial had his counter part in an arm lock.
"Ami, run."
"What? I'm not leaving you."
"LISTEN! Me and this idiot can't live as long as one is dead. He's not gonna willingly kill himself. His positive plan just met its negative." Ami stood there trying to take in what he said. It took a moment for it to dawn on her.
"No!"
"It's the only way."
"Soldier, I order you not to do it."
"Viper, Trigger, get her out of here." They knew Dial was doing what he though was right. They each took Ami by the arm and began to take her out.
"Let go of me. I order you to let go of me."
"Sorry Ami, but we're gonna let Dial do what he thinks is right." Ami tried to fight.
Dial could here her yell as she was being dragged away.
"Okay you filthy bastard. This is the part where we both go to hell." Dial kneed his evil counterpart in the spine as hard as he could. The Evil Dial dropped in shock. Dial took up the handgun and checked to see how many bullets it had.
"Quite a few. Lucky me." Dial placed the gun to the side of his head. "I've made some bad mistakes in my life. I hope this isn't one of them. 1.2.3." With that Dial pulled the trigger. There was a horrible screech as Evil Dial and Dial were engulfed in a white light. All the viruses' that were still living turned to normal humans again.
Plug looked at Dial's heartbeat as he flatlined. Plug could feel himself holding back his tears. He wouldn't let himself cry. He had seen many deaths in his life. This was different though. This was his friend. Someone who he had seen go through many battles and come out victorious. He exited the others out and pulled out Dial's plug. Ami wept.
"What should we do with his body?"
"We bury an honorable man out in those sewers," said Ami. No one questioned her. She had known Dial longer than any of them had. Even so, they agreed with her decision. The four walked out and buried him. They marked his grave with two pipes tied together to make a cross.
"Good luck Dial, wherever you may be."
