A/N: Yeah, been forever and a day since I updated this one, I know. Hopefully there are still some interested in it. Kind of short, unfortunately but at least it's something. Hope you enjoy it. Feedback is always welcome.
The Ties That Bind Chapter 8: The Mission
"That viral bitch!" Matrix roared as he watched his sister standing next to Daemon on the platform. Luckily the cheers from the infected guardians below drowned out his angry words. A fury the likes of which he'd never known despite everything he'd been through came over him and his mind echoed the same thought like a mantra: 'Kill Daemon.'
He raised Gun and took aim right at Daemon's head. Without thinking of the outcome, he fired. The bullet shot across the room right on target startling all those present in the room. Just before it reached the super virus, it hit a forcefield. Matrix swore and ducked into the ventilation duct on his right before the guardians came after him. He'd get the virus, he promised silently, both to himself and to Dot.
Chaos ruled over the room as the infected guardians raced to find the assassin. Bob and Mouse ducked into the corridor, racing down the hall and hiding in the nearest empty room. After several tense minutes, all was quiet and they turned to each other.
"Her heir?! What in the Net is goin' on, Bob?" Mouse's eyes were wide with shock as she stared at him.
Bob sighed, trying to calm the fear he felt creeping through him at the sight of 'Valkyrie.' "I'm not sure, Mouse, but from the looks of it, Daemon's managed to convert Dot into a super virus."
"But...I didn't think it was possible to do that. I thought you were compiled a sprite and that was it. End program."
He closed his eyes and unwillingly the image of Dot with purple veins pulsing on her temples clouded his mind. "Neither did I, Mouse. Neither did I..."
After things had calmed down, Daemon retired to her throne room, bringing Valkyrie with her. She was not at all surprised someone tried to delete her. In fact, she'd come to expect that it would happen eventually. There were still fools out there who believed that she should not rule the Net. Ah well, it would all be dealt with in time.
Valkyrie stood before her, awaiting her mistress's orders. Mustn't keep her heir waiting then.
"Valkyrie, I have a task for you." She seated herself on her throne, staring into those cold violet eyes. Looking into them she knew that she had only to ask and whatever she bid, Valkyrie would do.
"Yes, my lady?"
"Find the idiot that tried to delete me. Whomever it is should still be nearby. I'm sure you'll have no trouble locating them. Find them and bring them to me...alive." Daemon was displeased at the 'alive' part, but that just meant she could have more fun later on with her almost-killer. Oh she hoped it was one of the two guardians she was searching for!
Valkyrie bowed low and turned to depart, her cape flowing behind her as she walked. She too disliked the fact that she had to keep whomever it was alive. Surely her mistress would allow her to destory the rogue assassin once she was finished with them? She could only wish that Daemon would be so generous. The one who tried to delete Daemon should not be allowed to continue processing by any means and Valkyrie wanted to be the one to make sure they didn't...
