Disclaimer: No no, I don't own it, no I don't…haha, too much sugar this morning! [bounces off the walls]
Last time, we introduced the canon Rebels, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus, and there was some pointing and laughing and confusion. But then, a Mary-Sue popped out of nowhere, accompanied by a Disembodied Booming Voice! Using déjà vu, it took over the minds of Smith, the Twins, Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity, forcing them to act as they would in a particularily bad Mary-Sue fanfiction! Smith and the Twins were cured by a smack on the head, but before the Rebels could be saved, everyone except those three vanished in a cloud of pink sparkles! This episode is brought to you by the Train Man: "I am oh so freaky."
I got reviews, and here are my replies:
Dreamstrifer: You're always the first to review a new chapter. Thanks for your many compliments. I hope you did well in your Russian class!
NyanMoon-sama: Thanks Brownie Child! And thanks to Sesshoumaru too.
Bloodredcherry: There you are! I had been wondering where you had gone off to. Nope, never can have too much evil laughter; it's what makes the world go round.
Chapter 7: The Train Station
The scene is the Train Station, where there are already several programs being held. There is the Architect, the Oracle, and an unknown exile who looked like a teenage girl with big floppy rabbit ears. Soon there are more occupants, as in a cloud of pink sparkles, Girl, Clara, Smith, the Twins, Digit, and Raven appear.
Girl: Where the hell are we?!
Clara: Ooh, ooh, I know where we are! We're in the Train Station!
Girl: We got sent to a train station?
Two: Not a train station! The Train Station!
One: It's how programs get from the Matrix to the Machine World.
Clara: Mero is in charge of it.
One: No, the Train Man is in charge of it, and the Merovingian is in charge of the Train Man.
Clara: Oh yeah.
Girl: So how, pray tell, did we get here?
One: We dunno.
Two: Not a clue.
Clara: Don't look at me.
Smith: I feel left out…[looks over at Digit and Raven, who scoot away nervously] I'm so ignored…[is suddenly jumped on from behind by the Rabbit Girl] Ack…what…who…someone help me…
Rabbit Girl (happily): Now you're not ignored! I'm Usagi-chan, and I used to be the program in charge of rabbits, but I got exiled 'cause I was too bouncy and hyper, and I wasn't very inconspicuous like programs are supposed to be. But that's okay, because the rabbits still obey my every command! Soon I will create a rabbit army and use it to take over the world! Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Girl: [looks over to Usagi-chan] I like you. You should let go of Smelrond now, though, before you strangle him…or vice versa…
Raven: Hey, is that the Oracle?
Two: And the Architect?
Oracle and Architect: [glaring at each other]
Architect: [blinks] Dammit…
Oracle: Hah! You blinked! I win!
Digit: The Oracle and the Architect having a staring contest…now that's something you don't see every day…
Girl: Wait, Oracle? COOKIES!!! [runs over to the Oracle] Oracle, Oracle! Do you have any cookies?
Oracle: [gives Girl a strange look] No, child, I don't have any cookies…
Girl: Aaawwww…wait! [turns to Architect] Do you have any fried chicken?
Architect: [gives Girl an even stranger look than the Oracle gave her] Why the hell would I have fried chicken?
Girl: Oh, come on! Everyone knows that you secretly run Kentucky Fried Chicken!
Architect: No I don't, ergo, I don't have any fried chicken with me.
Girl: [starts jumping up and down excitedly] HE SAID 'ERGO'!!! HE SAID 'ERGO'!!!
Architect: [begins slowly backing away] Yeeeessss…I did say that…
Girl: [still jumping up and down] SAY IT AGAIN SAY IT AGAIN!!! NONONO, SAY 'CONCORDANTLY'!!!
Architect: Ummm…concordantly?
Girl: HE SAID IT HE SAID IT HE SAID IT!!!
Oracle: [silently laughing at the Architect's discomfiture]
Everyone else: [walks up]
Clara: While you were over here, Usagi-chan told us why we were here.
Usagi-chan: Well, you guys resisted the Sues, so you're being held prisoner here. Oh, and by the way, the Rabid Fangirls have invaded the Architect's TV room, stuck him in here, and are now in control of the entire Matrix. They're the ones who sent the Sues out to capture all the canon characters and brainwash them into behaving as they would in a Mary-Sue fanfiction. The Oracle resisted too, so that's why she's here.
Two: Why are you here, then.
Usagi-chan: Oh, that would be because of my other purpose.
Smith: You have two purposes? What's the other one?
Usagi-chan: Well, you know how the Architect's purpose is to balance the equation, and the Oracle's purpose is to unbalance it?
Everyone: [nods]
Usagi-chan: Well, my other purpose is to unbalance the equation even more! [steeples fingers evilly] Heeheeheeheeheehee…[unsteeples fingers] Anyway, the Rabid Fangirls found that out rather quickly, and since they didn't want me causing any more trouble for them, they put me in here.
Girl: Okay, so now we know who and most of the why. The rest of the why is this: what the heck is so special about this Train Station anyway?
Two: Well, the Train Man controls everything that happens in here, and if he doesn't want you to get out, you will not get out.
Trainman: Right you are.
Raven: Gwah! Where'd you come from?!
Clara: AAAAAHHHHH!!! NOT THE TRAIN MAN!!! [runs to a corner and curls in fetal position, mumbling to herself] Train Maaan…he's hee-ere…creepy creepy Train Maaan…he's going to eat meee…
Girl: EEK!! [runs and hides behind Smith] Smelrond, you have to protect me from the creepy psycho hobo guy!
Smith: What, me? Why do I have to protect you? Who's going to protect me?
Usagi-chan: [jumps forward, pokes Train Man, then jumps back. Does this several times]
Train Man: [head whips around to look at Usagi-chan. Eyes narrow slightly]
Usagi-chan: Meep! [also runs and hides behind Smith] Protect me too!
One: [steps forward] Let us all out, Train Man. We outrank you on the Merovingian's status ladder.
Two: You're right, us! We do outrank him.
Train Man: Heh, not anymore. Mervy's been demoted, and the Sues have taken over the Chateau. Oh, and I've been promoted; I now outrank you two. So I don't have to do anything you say. See ya later…a lot later. [grins evilly and vanishes into thin air]
Girl: Well…this can't be good.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' (I keep having to change the bloody thing...grrr...)
A/N: The Train Man really, really scares me. And yes, the Architect does in fact secretly own KFC! Oh, and I 3 Digit and Raven! Only Rebel characters I've ever created, and probably the only ones I ever will…that I like, anyway.
