Escape by DreamerMatrix

Disclaimer: IS ON EVERY OTHER PAGE SO FAR! Oh well, OK...

The Matrix trilogy does not belong to me. I wish it did, but it doesn't. It is the property of the Wachowski brothers, Andy and Larry, who shouldn't bother suing me because the amount they gained wouldn't cover the lawyer's fees. 'Program Reality', as far as I know, is still mine.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Anime/manga style (I always forget which is which) fade out/fade in on same scene. The AGENT falls over.

AGENT: I *hate* those transitions. They make my eyes go funny. And it's, like, deja vu, y'know? like when someone changes something in the Matrix?

NEO is looking at the AGENT, evidently trying not to laugh.

NEO: Wrong body, idiot. Why take over Cypher? He sucks.

The AGENT frowns

AGENT: It's my duty to kill you

NEO: Why bother? We'll kill ourselves eventually.

AGENT: You will?

NEO: Yeah, it's in a song and everything.

Speakers appear in each corner of the room, and Papa Roach's 'Blood Brothers' (A/N: which, other than having the album, I do not own) blares through them. NEO suddenly has a guitar, and is playing along. The AGENT claps his hands to the side of his head, then morphs back into CYPHER, who also, inexplicably, has a guitar.

CUT TO

TRINITY, MORPHEUS, LINK and the AUTHOR watching on a hee-uge widescreen TV. TRINITY glares at the AUTHOR.

TRINITY: If either of them goes into 'Wyld Stallion' mode, I am gonna kick your ass.

AUTHOR: Jeez, lighten up. This is a parody.

MORPHEUS and LINK: (under breath) Uh-oh...

AUTHOR and TRINITY: You two shut the hell up

The AUTHOR and TRINITY look at each other. The AUTHOR shrugs, and turns back to the TV.

AUTHOR: OK, enough with the guitars

CUT to

The Construct Dojo

The guitars disappear, but the music continues. NEO grins at CYPHER, and does that 'come get it' whole hand beckon thing. CYPHER snarls and rushes in to attack NEO.

AUTHOR: (VO) Why do people get annoyed by that? And why run and attack the person who did it while you're annoyed? Don't you people *know* that anger doesn't aid a fighter unless it's channeled properly? Didn't you *see* what happened to Smith in the last movie?

NEO: (fighting CYPHER with one arm) Do you mind? Trying to kick the ass of the rat who landed us with Link as an operator!

LINK: (VO) Hey!

AUTHOR: (VO, under breath) Sorry for breathing

TRINITY: (VO) Don't be, you're only human. Plus, I always wanted to know that too.

NEO stops fighting, and holds a hand out to stop CYPHER too.

NEO: Did you just say *only* human, Trin?

TRINITY: (VO) Yeah, what of it?

NEO: Well in the movies, whenever anyone says someone is 'only human' the person who is 'only human' turns out to be a kick-ass hacker with Matrix shaping abilities.

AUTHOR: (VO) Chill out, NEO. You're the One, remember? I'm not. I don't even have plugs.

LINK: (VO) If you're child of Zion human, how come those albino twins were vexed to see *me* here?

AUTHOR: (VO) 'Cos this place is, in essence, a product of my imagination. It requires some part of me to be here in order for it to exist. I can shape things here, but in the Matrix, I'd need Neo to do it.

NEO: Stop me if this sounds stupid but... How can you enter the Matrix if you're human?

AUTHOR: (VO) I send in a programme designed to mimic me in every way. A neutral program, known, funnily enough, as the Author. An all-singing, all dancing self resonating image, apart from the fact that the self doing the resonating uses its hands, not its mind to do so.

LINK: (VO) Does anybody else think this is getting *waaaaaaaaaaay* too scientific for a parody?

AUTHOR: (VO) Now you come to mention it...

NEO takes his hand down, jumps over CYPHER's head, and kicks said rat-man in the small of the back. CYPHER rolls around on the floor, in agony, then gets up *AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED* and goes to hit NEO. NEO takes off, and hovers near the ceiling where CYPHER can't touch him even if he had the talent to in the first place.

NEO: nyah nyah na nyah nyah. YOU SUCK! [beat, beat] YOU SUCK! [beat, beat] YOU SUCK (etc etc until...)

TRINITY jumps in on the Construct Dojo and runs up the wall, flipping off it and hitting NEO upside the head.

NEO: OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

CYPHER: Neo got beat by a girl!

TRINITY proceeds to wipe the floor with CYPHER. When she's done, she looks straight at the camera.

TRINITY: Neo was taking too long. Can we go for a break now?

AUTHOR: (VO) Sure, go for it.

do you ppl want a TBC on this or not? I'm undecided.
