The Matrix: Rebellion
- By K. M. Chambers
Chapter 5: The feeling
Neo immediately woke up back in the real world as the plug at pulled out of the back of his head was pulled out.
As he sat up, Jess and jay hugged him, while Jack and Tank stood beside them and welcomed Neo back.
Suddenly, Roland (the captain of the ship) came up to Neo, just as he was getting out of the chair he sat in.
"I'm glad to see your safe," he said to Neo, "But how did you do that?"
"Do what?" Neo responded in a very confused tone.
"Those things you did while inside the Matrix," Jack confirmed.
"What things!"
"You know very well what we've talking about!" Roland yelled.
"Seriously, I do not know what you're talking about!"
Neo walks out of the room and off the main deck. Tank, Jay and Jack were
about to go after him, but Jess stops them.
"Wait guys, maybe I should just go after him. It would just make it worse if we all go after him," Jess said.
"Okay sis," Jack responded.
"You go girl," Jay replied. "Your the one who has known Neo the longest. So your the one who can talk some sense into him."
"Jay's right," Tank agreed.
With that final word, Jess walked in the direction Neo went.
--
Neo sat in dinning room with his head in between his hands, trying to remember what happened.
Suddenly, Jess entered the room as Neo lifted his head up.
"Neo, I know you can't remember much, and you don't have to tell me it if you don't want to. But just think of what happened before the part you can't remember," Jess said to him in a soft tone.
Neo nodded and thought about it they hard.
"I was running, I turned the corner, one of them was holding a gun at me, and then…"
"You died." Jess interrupted.
"No, I mean I felt like dying, but I wasn't quite died. It was more like I was unconscious. I could of done anything in that time, but it's all just blank for me, I just can't remember."
"Neo it's okay, you don't have to."
"Thanks, but strangely when I regained conscious again, I found that I was standing on the building that I was heading to before this happened. I just wonder what this all means."
"I don't know either Neo, but you know that old saying, that the Matrix can not tell you who you are."
"I know. But the weirdest thing is that as soon as I came out of the Matrix, I some how felt different."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not sure." Neo laughs for a second. "Look at me just talking away with out any explanations in what I'm saying, you must be really bored."
"No! Don't be silly! I love listening to you."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you bet." Jess places her hand on top of his on the table.
Neo looks back at her as she smiles at him.
"Jess…" Neo said before an image of a sentinel suddenly flushes up in his mind.
Neo put one hand other his forehead in shock.
"Neo? What is it?"
"Sentinels, heading this way!"
"What!"
Neo runs out the room, just before the alarm suddenly goes off. Jess exits the room as well and chases after him.
--
Back on the main deck.
All the crew and Neo's class were gathered in around the image of six sentinels.
Neo and Jess enter the room, stood behind every one.
"What are they doing?" One of the crew asked.
"There just out of E.M.P. range," captain Roland replied.
Neo looks very carefully at the image in front of him.
"It's a bomb," Neo responded. "We have to get out of here, now!"
Every one agreed with Neo and escaped of the ship. They all ran as fast as they could as the sentinel's bomb drew closer to abandoned hovercraft.
Suddenly, as the bomb reaches the ship, anyone turns around, as it burst into flames. They all look on in shock, but they kept on moving as the sentinels began to chase after them.
"We won't make it!" Neo said as he runs beside Jack and Jess, looking back every few seconds.
"We have to try!" Jess replied.
Suddenly Jack tripped over something that was in his way, and falls behind. Jess and Neo immediately stop.
"Jack!" Jess yelled.
"Keep going!" Neo commanded Jess before he runs back over to Jack.
But Jess ignores Neo's command and waits for him and her little brother.
Neo helps Jack up, but as Jack runs back over to his sister. Neo just stays where he is and stares at the sentinels coming towards them.
"Neo! Come on!"
Neo looks back at his two friends.
"There's that feeling again. The feeling that something is different," Neo tells them.
"What's different?" Jack asks.
"I can feel them."
Neo turns back around to face the sentinels, as they were not that far away from them now.
Meanwhile Jack tried into drag Jess away, but she would not leave Neo.
Neo just stood there as the sentinels came right at him. But with out even thinking about it (again), Neo stuck his hand out at them.
Suddenly, there was a flash, like lighting, as the sentinels were stopped died in their tracks, and crashed down to the ground. However, as soon as this is done, Neo collapses to the ground as well.
"Neo!" Jess screamed as she ran back over to Neo's body and kneeled beside him.
Everyone rushed back over to see what happened. Tank and Jay where the one the of first to get there.
"What happened?" Tank asked.
"We don't know," Jack replied.
--
About half an hour had past by and there was still no change.
Jess rested the Neo's head on her lap, as he was still unconscious. Jack, Jay and Tank where at sat around his body in a circle.
The rest of the class were sat separate, away from the gang as the teacher walked backwards and forwards worrying about their safety, and waiting for something to rescue them.
While the crew of the destroyed hovercraft were working on something they found in the scraps that would help them make contact with a near by ship. As the crew did this, captain Roland kept looking over at the young Neo.
"You know, that kid reminds me of someone that this has happened to before," He said.
"Yeah, and it's quite a coincidence that he has the same name as him," a crew number responded. "You don't think…"
"No, I've never actually believed in this stuff and I aren't going to start now."
The crew tried as hard as they could to fix their communicator, but they failed and ended up throwing it away. Only to be unaware that it landed near Tank.
As he heard it hit the ground, Tank suddenly got up to go and get it, he then brought it back over to the group.
"Tank, what are you doing?" Jay asked her brother as he sat back down.
"I'm going to see if I can fix this thing," he replied.
"Tank if they couldn't fix it, what makes you think you can do it?"
"Easy," Jack interrupted, "Your dad has been teaching him for years! I'm sure that he will be able to fix a little thing like that."
"What?"
"Jack! I thought I told you not to tell her!" Tank yelled.
"Oh sure, dad can teach it to you but not me! You were always his favourite, and mum's as well," Jay said to her brother.
"No! You know how mum is over protective of us after want happened to our two uncles before we were born."
"Yeah, I guess. But they never just give me a chance!"
At this point Jess was getting a little aggravated.
"Look, you can settle your argument later! Right now we have to focus on getting out of here, for Neo's sake," Jess said as she looked down that him.
They all agreed as Tank started to fix the communicator he had in front of him.
--
Another half hour later…
"Done!" Tank yelled, catching everybody's attention. "Now lets if this thing works."
He switched it on, as it suddenly picked up a signal. It began to ring, and then somebody answered.
"Operator," The guy said at the other end of the line.
Tank knew exactly who it was from the voice.
"Dad? Is that you?" He asked.
"Tank! What are you doing out there!" Link responded.
"Well, to put a long story short. The ship was destroyed and we all stuck out here."
"Okay, we will come and rescue you lot. But are there any casualties?"
"Yes, just one," Tank answered as he looked over at Neo.
"Alright Tank, just let me talk to the captain, if he is still alive."
Tank handed over the communicator to Roland, just as his father commanded.
