Thanks to all reviewers, replies are at the end of the chapter.

P.S. Sorry to whoever if I accidentally rip off your idea. Somehow however i don't think what's below has been done before.

Chapter 2: After the war, things just got weird

After Neo and Trinity made the ultimate sacrifice to save the dishevelled Zion and its people from destruction. The machines buggered off without even offering to help sweep away the bodies.

And so, life went on. Neo and Trinity's bodies were flung through the large hole in the dock's ceiling and their shattered remains were given a simple but dignified funeral. The proverbial silver lining here was that, per his on request, the kid was buried alive several meters about Neo's coffin. No one knew his reasons for doing this and no one wanted to ask.

Relations between the viruses, (humans sorry, humans,) and the machines improved somewhat to the extent where the two species settled their remaining dislike for each other in the yearly two man/machine tandem bicycle race. Everyone turned up for this event, even the democratic order of sewer based weasels.

The course was basically a slippery metal track that spanned from the festering ruins of Blackpool to a seemingly random location which lay three meters above the pacific ocean.

The contestants for this race would compete against each other on the track and the ones who could avoid falling into the sea, (which was a chilly .0000002 degrees Celsius, cold indeed but warm enough to guard against ice, it would in this story anyway), would then have to partake in a crude re-enactment of the battle of Hastings. The most convincing actors from both sides would then have the honour of competing in the race.

The third race of its kind was held between the humanoid machines, B5HT23, (otherwise known as Jim,) and 77771727336282888HYTWH, (otherwise known as Kendra the fourteenth), and the human contestants, Niobe, (who did a fine re-enactment of King Harold getting shot in the eye after she was shot in the eye,) and Link, (there's nothing especially special to say about him but everyone else got their own set of brackets so I guess its only fair.)

The opening ceremony was long and tedious affair which involved the various teams discussing the finer points of their bikes. Whereas the machines bike was shiny, new and interesting, the human's bike was pulled together from the remains of dead sentinels. The wheels were therefore not anything even vaguely resembling perfect circles, the seats were jagged and uncomfortable, and the pedals were as slippery as the track.

To keep themselves amused during the display, the weasels began reflecting light from one of the strobe lights into Ghost's eyes. When he turned to look at them with a contemptuous glare they would hide their shiny metal discs and start whistling innocently.

The crowd breathed a unanimous sigh of relief when the race began, unfortunately, the egad who designed the course only put the spectators seats near the starting point, and there were no cameras, monitors, or even an announcer to inform the audience of the race based happenings.

The machine's bike sped hastily away while the jagged tires of Niobe and Link's bike moved awkwardly on the track at an agonisingly slow pace.

At first it seemed like an easy victory for the machines, but the odds were evened somewhat when a convenient tidal wave sent Jim and Kendra flying backwards over a distance of roughly fifty meters. Thereby allowing Link and Niobe to catch up.

Things were pretty much neck and neck for a long while, until the author realised that the machines superior body weight would slow them down somewhat, thereby giving Link and Niobe the lead.

"Charge!" Screamed Link randomly in the final kilometre. Niobe turned her head to inquire what he was talking about when she realised that he wasn't actually pedalling. A well placed slap to the head soon corrected this problem however.

The machines soon realised that they'd have to something dramatic and amusing if they were to have any chance of victory. Unfortunately for them however, nothing came to mind, and victory went to the humans for the second time in a row. (The first race was called off due to a hurricane and by the time they'd rebuilt the track it was time for the second one anyway.)

The End.

Tune in whenever I upload it for the next story.

Right, now for replies.

Tai Wilson: Glad you liked it. Written has been and written was when written will create an incomprehensible reply with is nothing but gibberish. (Sorry but that's all i can think of to say).

Angel-of-lightness/Naz/One day I'll think of something else to include: Maybe i shouldn't have killed Gymnosperm, he could have gone on to achieve great things. Can you imagine him in an APU? Thanks for reviewing by the way. My life goal shall not e complete here until i upload all eleven stories. Now that you have re-entered the world, did you find that everything changed to the point where it was unrecognisable and disturbing?

Agent Josie: This is a rhetorical and largely pointless question but i'll ask it anyway. You're not a Morpheus fan are you? Link didn't die either now that i think about it, neither did Niobe, Roland, or the kid. THe kid should have died. No one liked him. Gollum should have stabbed him in the neck with a sharpened stick. Thanks for reviewing this and Left Behind.

Alocin: You may be surprised to hear that i actually wrte your review last. I only told you that because i couldn't think of what else to say apart from the conventional 'thanks for reviewing'. Gymnosperm, (i have just decided), shall return in some form or another before this collection of madness is over. Thanks for reviewing.

Lupe-3.14: Urburd is i and my writing, glad you enjoyed and hope you enjoyed this chapter.

thereisnobrain: There's nothing to stop you killing Trinity 20 times in you fic. Thanks for reviewing.
