*This story is something I have been working on for a while now the main
characters come from my circle of friends, well used to be circle of
friends, but I hope you enjoy I have three chapters finished but unless the
first chapter gets good reviews the other two may not get put up it all
depends on my mood, There are also a lot of things that may not make sense,
but remember, this is before the movies. So Morpheus may not be as wise and
the agents may not be as effective killing machines yet. All constructive
criticism is welcome*
Chapter 1: The trouble begins.
We all know about the Osiris, the Nebuchadnezzer, the Logos, all the famous hoverships, but there is one who's crew was the best of the time. It was the Century, smaller than Niobe's Logos, the crew was only five people. The crew was PD, the ships captain, Killian, the ships second in command, Putz, the ships weapons specialist, Gemini, the ships best hacker next to Killian's skills, and Tom, the ships operator.
"Operator." said PD.
"Operator, how may I direct your call?" said Tom.
"We need an exit." said PD.
"Got it. Fourth and main. An abandoned computer store. The front is boarded up, but the back is open." said Tom.
"Got it, operator" said PD, as he looked at his crew and motioned them forward. Unfortunately four guys in trench coats running in the same direction draw a lot of unwanted attention.
"Halfway home boys." says PD who suddenly stops dead in his tracks.
"Not quite, Mr. Williams." says the head agent Smith.
The four readied themselves for a fight they each drew their weapons. PD was carrying a katana and a pistol for backup. Killian was duel wielding combat shotguns, Putz was using dual Uzi's, and Gemini was dual wielding desert eagles.
Killian fired first. Smith dodged the face full of lead, but his partner happened to catch the hot lead in his face because he wasn't fast enough. Gemini and Putz kept the other agent busy and eventually took him out as PD and Killian were taking on Smith. PD sliced at Smith, who jumped back to avoid the sharp blade edge but, he wasn't expecting the combat shotgun barrel pointed at the back of his head.
"Lets get the fuck out of here before they return!" said Killian with a grimace as he dropped his shotguns and pulled two silenced .45's. He ran down the street killing people as they started changing into agents, he had killed 25 as he reached the computer store, instead of walking around the back. He built up his speed and drop kicked the door, knocking it down.
He turned towards his friends and said "Lets go." As he was watching his friends approach he noticed them stop and get that horrified look on their face, he knew what happened they were beat to the exit and the agents were right behind him, he crossed his arms so that his guns were pointing backwards. He then ducked down as they started firing unloaded his clips at them right through his trench coat dropped the guns dashed towards the front door grabbed the door frame and swung himself up so that his feet were pointing to the sky.
His friends gave him cover fire as he got back down pulled his last spare gun and his cell phone.
"Operator..." said Killian.
"I got a new exit for ya. The diner at the end of the block." said Tom.
"Got it. See you at home, Tom." said Killian.
"You better." said Tom.
"This way guys." said Killian as he started running towards the diner.
All four arrived at the diner just as the phone rang. Killian picked up the receiver and handed it to PD who left first, then Putz left, Gemini, and finally Killian left last just as the Agents burst into the diner.
"Was the mission a success?" asked Tom.
"Yes, the message from the oracle has been sent to Zion, now get us out of broadcast depth before the squiddies spot us." said PD as he rubbed his eyes and leaned back in the chair.
Killian enters the cramped dining area of the Century, Putz is sat at the table eating his meal. Killian grabbed his tin and walked to a dispenser and squirted his meal into it.
"Ick, I don't care if this crap has all the nutrients a body needs, it tastes like freaking soggy cereal." said Killian, as he sat across the table from Putz. They sat there wordless eating as Gemini, and then PD joined them.
As they were just getting comfortable and were going to talk about the mission Tom broke in through the PA system.
"Squiddies are coming, all personnel report to the deck." he said.
All four members rushed to the deck as they felt the ship touch down and the systems started shutting down, Tom was getting the ship ready for stealth mode. PD jumped into the seat next to Tom.
"Get the EMP ready." said PD.
"Already done." said Tom
PD opened the switch cover and was ready to fire it just as the sentinels showed up.
"Wait, look, they are chasing a ship...wait a second, that, that's the Benefactor, their attacking Greg's ship." said Killian.
"Everyone to your stations, Tom get this thing moving and follow them." said PD.
The ship started up and they were soon on the sentinels tail and were drawing their attacks away from the now badly damaged Benefactor.
"Century to Benefactor, set your ship down and ready the EMP. When you see us land, fire that thing." said PD over the distress frequency. "Tom set this fucker down right in front of the Benefactor, I don't care how hard you set down, just set the hell down."
Tom swung the ship around and crash landed within feet of the Benefactor, the Benefactor set of its EMP right as they landed shutting down both ship and destroying the sentinels.
Killian got out of the Century and ran over to the Benefactor and ran up the ramp that they had lowered. Killian ran to the cockpit as fast as he could to make sure everyone was alright.
"Is everybody okay?" Killian said as he entered the cockpit.
"Yeah we are all okay." said Greg, the captain of the ship.
Killian looked at the crew, everyone seemed to be there. Greg the captain, Ducky, Ozzy, and Kasey the operator, but something was amiss.
"Your at least one person short, and why weren't you attacking the sentinels with your turrets." said Killian.
"Larry and Ashley...they, they didn't make it out of the Matrix with their lives, the agents, it was an ambush, we tried...but, they told us to run, they sacrificed their own lives for us." said Ducky who was trying her hardest not to cry. Ozzy wrapped his arms around her and let her cry into his shoulder.
Killian solemnly stared at them as Kasey took the initiative and started pumping the starter so they could get going again. Killian helped them get ready for launch and he went back over to the Century just as the ship was getting ready to start up.
"We are going to escort them to Zion, they lost Larry and Ashley so we need to protect them on the way there." said Killian to PD.
"Ok you heard the man Putz, Gemini get to your gun posts and keep an eye out, Tom get this thing off the ground and follow them, and Killian, you are one of our best gunners, go to the main gun-post, we don't need more squiddies on our ass." said PD.
They got back to Zion safely but to no fanfare at all, when a ship returns home safely normally there is a celebration, but the Century and the Benefactor were not special ships.
Killian walked down the ramp slowly and noticed why there wasn't fanfare, the Nebuchadnezzer was docked across the way, he then noticed the sound of music coming from the direction of the main hall.
"The party has already started, the Nebuchadnezzer is here, whoop-dee-doo." said Killian sarcastically as he walked away from the music and towards the living quarters.
Killian walked into his living quarters, empty like always, because unlike other people, he never found someone to marry. He closed his door, walked to his bed, laid down, and fell asleep to the thumping of the music emanating from the main hall.
*this ends Chapter one officially, hope you enjoyed it, I'll post chapter two soon, once I get it typed that is.*
