Disclamer: I do not own the Matrix or any of the original characters, I do however own the new characters. Set after Revolutions so spoilers for all you slow coaches who haven't seen it yet! I have my new characters falling in love but there is Link/Zee and Morpheus/Naobi as well in this story. This is my first Matrix fic.

Title: Repair Work

Chapter: One, The Truron

"2.6.LIFT" the group struggled to lift a large piece of the ceiling from where it had fallen. Everyone was cleaning up after the final battle and things were starting to look slightly like they had before. The dead had been placed in the temple awaiting cremation.at least the dead that had been found.
"Ok, theres a dead guy under this thing" one of the workers said.
"ABSOLUTLY OUT OF THE QUESTION!" that caught everyone's attention as three members of the council argued with Naobi, Morpheus and Link.
"Why?" Naobi asked.
"Because it's too dangerous, this peace is too fragile!"
"We only want to retrieve their bodies" Morpheus said. "And we will with or without your permission.
"With what ship? Yours are both out of commission for good!"
"They can take my ship" a new voice entered the conversation.
"Captain Xen (pronounced Zen), your ship doesn't have an EMP"
"Does that matter now?" Captain Xen asked. His hair was braided and he had an ugly cut across his left eye. "Me and my crew will take you" he said to the three.
"Thank you" Morpheus said. The council members said something quietly and then walked off in a very unhappy manner.

///3 Hours Later///

"This is it I'm afraid" Captain Xen said as they entered his ship. "Welcome to the Truron" he said.
"Yo Cap, we may have to delay take-off fore a while" a female voice called from somewhere.
"Why?" Xen asked.
"Blown a fuse on the engine.twice" the voice replied.
"Fix it as fast as you can then" Xen said.
"Already am Cap" the voice said.
"Followed me and we'll drop off your bags" Xen said. "Oh and we lost our gunner so we have a volunteer at the moment, her names Zee I believe you already know her" Xen said leading the way.
"You could say that" Link muttered.

///10 Minutes Later///

"Engines done Cap!" a voice called. "I'll start with the communications now shall I?"
"That'd be great Sparks!" Xen called. "The comm's on the fritz so that's why were shouting" he explained. Then he took the ship up and out of the dock.or what was left of it. A young girl climbed up into the cockpit.
"Cap?" she asked, looking nervous.
"What is it now Pipe?" Xen asked. The girl had blonde hair that was in a rough ponytail and she wore a knitted shirt and dungarees with oil stains all over them.
"Well, we need to take power from the lighting to do some repair work and well." Pipe trailed off. She started fiddling with something on a chair around her neck, it was a crude copy of naval whistle like a bo'sun's call.

"Tell Sparks to go ahead" Xen said.
"And." Pipe stopped as Xen turned to glare at her.
"What?" Xen asked.
"Trix did it again" Pipe said simply.
"Take over Pipe, I'll be back in a minute" Xen said climbing down the ladder.
"Who did what again?" Link asked.
"This boy call Trix sent an electric shock through the panel I was working on" Pipe said, focusing on flying. The lights suddenly went off.
"What's Sparks doing?" a male voice asked as the person climbed up the ladder. They couldn't see what he looked like but he sounded like he was quite young.
"Fixing to Comm" Pipe said. "Oh shit" she muttered, moving the ship just in time to avoid hitting something. "I hate flying these things."
"Your not very good at it" the boy said.
"I'm better'n you!" Pipe snapped.
"Yeah, but only 'cos medic's don't need to know how to fly" the boy said.
"Piss off Doc" Pipe snapped.
"YOU WILL NOT DO THAT EVER AGAIN OR I WILL LOCK YOU IN YOUR ROOM!" Xen's voice was heard by everyone.
"He found Trix then" Doc muttered, sniggering. Just as Pipe was about to reply a high frequency 'scream' was heard by everyone before it cut off sharply.
"SORRY!" Sparks called from wherever she was working. Link slowly went to where the voice had come from and found Zee handing a girl tools. The girl was in a very tatty and dirty shirt with baggy trousers and clumpy boots. "Ranch" she said and Zee handed her a ranch. "This fucking thing is getting on my last nerve" Sparks growled, hitting the thing she was working on. It beeped and sparked. "Well, that idea's gone. I'm putting the light's back on" Sparks said flicking a switch and soon the whole ship was illuminated again.
"That's not gonna help" Zee said.
"So, it makes me feel better" Sparks muttered. "Right, this is my last idea" she muttered as she pulled a panel off. She then found two, obviously live, wires and using nothing by her hands fixed them together. They sparked and a shock went through her briefly but then lights flashed on the console and it slowly became operational. "Now why it couldn't do that with more user friendly methods I'll never know" Sparks muttered.
"Is that it?" Zee asked, unaware of Link leaning on the doorframe.
"Nope" Sparks muttered. She pushed one of the buttons on the screen and the same high pitched 'scream' coursed through the ship. She quickly shut it off. "Now that's its sort of running I need to fix the interference" Sparks said, grabbing a laser and setting to works. She had scars all over her and a bandage around her stomach, stained red in one place.
"It's bleeding again" Zee said to her.
"I'll see Doc later" Sparks muttered.
"I've been told you seeing Doc later means you wont at all" Zee said.

"You got that right" Sparks said as something began flashing.
"Why?" Zee asked.
"Ex-Lovers" Sparks said simply. "Fell out over Trix. Man does he have muscles" Sparks said whistling.
"So your with him now?" Zee asked.
"Same as your with the guy at the door" Sparks said. Zee turned and saw Link and went and hugged him.
"How the.?" Link asked.
"I have eyes in the back of my head. You can go Zee.but if you see Trix send him down" Sparks said as she worked with her back to them.
"Will do" Zee said leaving with Link. "And I'll send Doc too!"
"You'd better not!"

Meanwhile,

Xen climbed back up the ladder with a young man following him. Pipe willingly gave the steering to Xen and descended back down the ladder. Doc had black hair which hung in curtains and was in a blue jumper and black trousers. Trix, who had followed Xen sat opposite him and glared at him. Trix had shoulder length blonde hair and wore a black jumper with green trousers. Zee's head poked up the ladder.
"Trix, Sparks could use your help. Doc, she's bleeding again.plus she electrocuted herself slightly" Zee informed them before disappearing with a giggle and Link laughing. Trix and Doc both got up at the same time. Morpheus and Naobi noticed the friction between the two and moved out of their way. Once they had gone another person poked his head up.
"Cap.do you need me or can me an' Pipe grab summit to eat" the man asked. His hair was brown and cut unevenly and he had dirt streaks across his face.
"Go ahead Slip. But when we get up to the air I need you piloting this thing" Xen said.
"Yeah Cap" Slip said disappearing.
"So, who's in your crew?" Naobi asked.
"Oh, well Slip, who you just saw is our best pilot, at least he is when he's not snogging Pipe. Pipe's really just here to load the guns, that and snog Slip. Doc's our medic. Trix is the engineering assistant and best gunner. Sparks is the best engineer I've ever met and she's not a bad gunner or pilot either. And Zee is our weapons expert. Oh and Doc's in charge of the Matrix link when you hooked up" Xen said as he flew the ship.

"And that's it?" Naobi asked.
"That's it. There was one more but he's kinda mad now" Xen said as he turned a corner.
"Oh" Morpheus muttered. Naobi slipped her hand lightly into his and they sat in silence from then on.
