Escape by DreamerMatrix
Disclaimer: IS ON EVERY OTHER PAGE SO FAR, DAMMIT! 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.
I'm putting reviewers in my fic! This is the last chapter of Escapes. A sequel is definitely in the offing.
~*~*~*~*~*~
TRINITY was still pointing the gun at the AUTHOR, when the wiggy thing stopped happening.
AUTHOR: Writers block over. I'm back. And working on a self insertion in my next fic which will see to it that the Kid... sorry, George... can't join the Nebuchadnezzar!
TRINITY: (punching the air) YES!
AIR: OW!
There is a pause. Observant fic-readers may have noticed the reappearance of TRINITY'S gun, but *everyone* should notice the tumbleweed blowing across the screen.
TRINITY: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
LINK: So, this plan of yours... what is it?
AUTHOR: Easy. I give Switch, Apoc and Mouse their bodies back... Well, not their actual bodies, cos that's kinda, you, know, gross. But carbon copies of their bodies. Like I did with Cypher.
TRINITY: But that still leaves us one person down.
AUTHOR: Yeah, that's where I come in. With the self insertion. All I need to do is get myself killed, then plugged into the Matrix as myself, healed up, unplugged, and boom, instant second saviour on the Neb. Not that I'll remember this conversation, but you will.
LINK: If it keeps George away from the Neb, I'm all for it. That kid is crazy.
KAT-23 runs past, waving MORPHEUS' sunglasses. She is followed by GOLLUM, MORPHEUS, SONIC and NEO. They all run around in circles. The TWINS fade in some how, shoot the AUTHOR as he stands up, and fade out again. AUTHOR does dramatic fall into the wall and slides down. KAT-23 jumps over AUthor's legs, but MORPHEUS trips, his hand grabbing his glasses as he drops to the floor. GOLLUM and SONIC jump over MORPHEUS, NEO trips. With his dying breath, the AUTHOR re-corporealises SWITCH, APOC and MOUSE.
SWITCH, APOC and MOUSE: Wow, what a trip. Where's that bastard Cypher?
TRINITY: He just dissolved. It took all the Author's energy to re-corporealise you three.
APOC: He sacrificed himself for us? Whoa, dude!
TRINITY hits APOC upside the head
NEO: (standing up) Ermmm... If he's dead, isn't this place due to disappear?
TRINITY and LINK grab MORPHEUS and run for the Nebuchadnezzar as the construct disappears, followed by APOC, MOUSE, NEO and SWITCH. When the Neb sets off, APOC looks at TRINITY, whom everyone knows is more of a leader than MORPHEUS will ever be.
APOC: What now?
TRINITY: We search for him. It's simply a matter of time...
