Three: The Rescue and Sentinel Swarms
The twins drove to a highway in a matter of minutes. Trinity, Morpheus, and Ron however were on their tails in the car. "What are we going to do?" Ron was panicking. "Calm down. We'll get your friend back. Neo will be the one to do it, but we can help by keeping the twins occupied." Morpheus said calmly. He took out an MP-5 and was halfway out the window firing at them though he was shooting higher so Hermione wouldn't get hurt.
Hermione was in the back seat on the floor tied up. She knew that Ron and Harry would think of a way to rescue her. Please don't get hurt. She thought sadly. She didn't want the twins to do anything to them...especially Harry. One of the ghost twins turned ethereal and came into the back seat with Ron! Morpheus and him were doing a lot of punching and hitting.
A police car chased after the speeders. Suddenly the policemen turned to men in brown suits with square sunglasses. "We have them." One said. "The wizards are the primary targets." Said the other.
Neo flew with Harry for some time. "Neo! This seems like a longer way we're going!" Harry shouted. "Don't worry Harry! I know what' I'm doing!" Neo said.
Trinity saw in the mirror the agents in the police car. "We've got company!" she said grimly. Morpheus and the twin stopped for a second and looked. One agent leapt out of the car and landed on another completely crushing it. Then he leapt on their car. He ripped off the roof like it was paper. Soon Morpheus and the twin were taking shots at the agent who was dodging them. Ron pulled out his wand "EXPELLIARMUS!" knocking the agent off the car and on the street. Morpheus thrust his katana at the twin. The twin turned ethereal and was on the street. Soon though the SUV came behind and took him back in for unbeknownst to Morpheus the twin took the exit to get his twin while Morpheus fought with him.
"We are getting aggravated," sighed one. "Yes we are." Said the other. Hermione didn't know what to do now. She wondered what was going to happen to her if they took her to where ever it was they intended. The twin in shotgun took out an assault rifle and began shooting at the silver car. "Hold on!" Trinity said as she did her best to out maneuver them. A bullet pierced the tire. They had no choice but to get off the nearest exit. Soon the twins sped up though and passed them. Trinity followed as best she could.
The exit pulled into a residential highway. There was some factory nearby where the twins pulled into the parking lot. They took Hermione with them. Put a key in the lock. Opened the door and shut it quickly. "Crap, they left." Trinity spat. "So? Can't we follow them?" Ron said. Trinity explained to him how the doors in the matrix can be used as back doors to programs with a certain key and they could go anywhere the 'key' lead them. Soon though Neo and Harry arrived. Morpheus told them the story. The five of them sat in the parking lot thinking what to do. "Perhaps I can help." Came a sexy female voice.
There was a beautiful woman with dark hair in light green dress. Harry looked at her and somehow knew she could seduce anyone. "You can get us to where they're going?" Harry asked, "Yes, they work for my husband. I know where they're taking your friend. I can give you what you want but you must give me something I want. I mean you Neo." She said. "What is that?" Neo asked suspiciously. "A kiss." She said calmly like ordering a cup of coffee. Trinity was taken back. "Excuse me?" she said lethally. Harry knew that if anyone upset Trinity she'd be able to castrate them and rip their heads off. He stepped back. "I want you to kiss me as you were kissing her." "Why should we trust you?" Neo snapped. "You love her. She loves you. It's written over you both. Along time ago I knew what that felt like. I just want to sample it. That's all." Trinity pulled out a pistol "Why not sample this instead?" "Trinity" Morpheus said in a fatherly manner.
Harry and Ron found this slightly amusing yet they hoped it'd work so they could get Hermione back. Harry was constantly thinking about her. I'll save you my love; don't worry. Neo agreed. He gave her a rather quick lip kiss. "Terrible. Forget it." She said sounding hurt. Harry tightened his fists. "Wait." Neo said. "Alright." He took off his sunglasses. He and her made a long contact. And not just lips. Tongues must've slithered. It lasted for a while and was so sensual it appeared. Persephone had her eyes closed for a second after the kiss.
She turned to Trinity. "I envy you. But such a thing isn't meant to last." She took out a key. Put it in the lock. When the doors opened it was in the foyer of a manor. A large M on the marble. There were two spiral staircases leading up to a balcony it seemed.
Persephone led them to a sort of dungeon place. She pointed them to a cage. Neo opened the door finding Hermione lying on the floor. They ran up to her. "Hermione!" Harry was shaking her desperately. She finally woke up and smiled. "Harry, Ron, Neo, Morpheus and Trinity thank you." They helped her up. Going back in the foyer. Suddenly the Merovingian appeared with his cronies. "Oh my God! Persephone how could you do this to me you betrayed me!" he then started swearing and cursing in French.
Persephone was smiling. "Cause and effect my love." He looked puzzled "Cause, there is no cause for this what cause?" "Oh no? What about the lipstick you're still wearing?"
"Lipstick? Lipstick? What craziness are you talking about woman there is no...lipstick?"
"She wasn't kissing your face my love."
"Yes, yes. This is nothing...it is a game. It is only a game."
"So is this. Have fun." She just left. The Merovingian glared at them. "Alright. Now what's your move?" Neo looked at them. "Go, I'll handle them. Just get Hermione out." The left. The Merovingian looked amused. "Handle us?" he mocked "You'll handle us?! You know your predecessors showed much more respect." His cronies came forward firing auto rifles at him. Neo just held up his hand and the bullets stopped in mid air. After a while the cronies seemed to realize this. "Okay, you have some skill." Said the Merovingian. "Kill him."
One in a trench coat came at him with a kick. Neo grabbed him threw him at a statue killing him. Another came with a mace. Neo ducked as it flailed to his head. The mace hit another. The ghost twins came at him too. They held knives. He kicked at them knocking them back. Another had a claymore, which Neo flipped over.
Another had flails he was slashing at Neo. Neo backed away. The guy with the claymore came back. Neo blocked it with his hand. The Merovingian raised his eyebrow. Neo kicked him away. Then he realized blood was dripping. "You see he's just a man."
Neo flipped up onto the railing. He summoned sies from either side. The flail guy grabbed a triton instead. Neo parried and knocked them back. An Asian chick with a short sword and round shield came at him. He used the sies to hold her into the wall.
The twins were on either side of him. They threw their knives at him. He ducked. It got them both in their faces...they forgot to ethereal themselves. Neo took a sword to parry with the guy with the claymore. Neo never stopped slashing his sword even when the guy ducked.
The chick got free of the sies. She grabbed a long mace. Neo thrust his sword into a program with a spear. Neo took the spear and fought with that. He was blocking constant moves from the claymore. He then held the claymore down kicked him in the chest. Then he thrust the spear in him. The triton came at him with berserk energy.
Neo though was able to parry it easily and thrust it in his neck. The girl came at him with the mace. Neo ducked. Kicked her. Grabbed the mace. Crushed her. The Merovingian turned away. "Damn it again woman you would be ze end of me!" The Merovingian left rather quickly. Neo caught up with the rest. Dumbledore was waiting with Fawkes. "Hello, I want to thank you for protecting our school from Smith, and for saving Hermione from the Merovingian." Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neo and Trinity looked puzzled at how he knew their names.
"Yes, I know...from someone here who's been a close friend of mine." Then stepped out an elder black woman with a cigarette. "You?" Neo exclaimed. The Oracle smiled. "Yes Neo. Dumbledore and I have been friends for a long time.
Umbridge was at home thinking of ways to get Harry. "That rotten brat has got the best of me. But I'll show him. Harry Potter will meet his doom."
"I know he will." Came a voice. Umbridge looked and saw Smith. "Who are you?" she demanded. "Oh, I'm just someone who knows what it's like to want revenge on your enemies, and you will help me." He then started to copy himself on her. "Oh, God!" she said. "'Smith' will suffice." He said. Then Umbridge turned to Smith. Now a Smith could use magic. The two looked at each other. "Neo will die." "Harry Potter will die!" they laughed.
The rebels had their ships stationed at Hogwarts. The operators still looked on them to watch the sentinels. The sentinels tried to get to Hogwarts, but the magic was too powerful for the machines.
The rebels promised to help in anyway they could. Professor McGonagall was gracious for this and showed them places they could sleep. The room of requirement of course. The students all liked the rebels...except of course Draco who always tried to say something negative. "They just land here and hide from the sentinels. I say Smith has the right idea." The sentinels however were not idle. They used digging machines to go under the spells and get to Hogwarts. And somehow the entire APU corps was summoned as well as the infantry from Zion.
Meanwhile with the heroes Neo was angry at the Oracle for not saying this. "Why didn't you say this before? Afraid it'd upset the prophecy of the One?" Neo said sarcastically. The Oracle sighed. "Neo, I only tell you what you need to here not what you want to here. Now, I know this has been confusing for you all but look on the bright side: all of us are fighting against the machines and Voldemort." Ron flinched. Harry now looked angry. "How did you know about him!? And why didn't you say so in the first place?" the Oracle was loosing patience. "Harry and Neo. Don't you two see it? You two are similar.
That's right. Neo you have a destiny and Harry, you have a destiny. But you both feel like you're part of a controlled system. Albus and I feel that you two should be told mostly what you need rather than want. I'm sorry about that but it's important. Now, can we go back and have that feast?" the oracle said this happily. "Of course my dear." Dumbledore said. They each held onto Fawkes and were back at the castle. Each crew chose what table to sit at. The Nebuchadnezzar sat at Gryffindor. The Logos also at Gryffindor.
Most sat at Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. The Oracle sat with the teachers. Dumbledore stood up before the feast. "Now, I would like to welcome our guests: the Rebels who have helped us get Hermione back, and saved the school from machines and evil renegade programs." Many applauded except of course Slytherin. "Now, let the feast begin.
Neo and Harry talked a lot. Neo told him how Kid was always idolizing him and walking with him. Harry sympathized with him. "Yeah, I'm famous so everyone too is bothering me. Why don't people realize we're normal but just known?" Neo thought of that too. "I know, I mean I have a life too but just want to be left alone."
The oracle was talking to professor McGonagall about seers. "No, child. There's no such thing as a clouded inner eye. You either have the gift of sight or you don't. This Professor Trelawny seems to be a half seer if you ask me." Professor McGonagall smiled at this while Professor Trelawny looked distraught at being insulted like this. Hermione and Trinity were having conversations: "So, you've liked Harry for a long time and you two are officially together?" Hermione said quickly "Yes, absolutely. I was nervous telling him thinking he'd find it weird by I knew that when we kissed it was meant to be." Trinity smiled "That's how I felt when I first saw Neo.
He made my heart beat faster and faster. I knew that he was the One since that's what the Oracle told me: that'd I fall in love with the one. I advise you and your friends to see her too. Maybe Harry like Neo is a prophecy to end a war."
Hermione smiled "I hope so. Harry's powerful but wanted to come here instead of Slytherin. He chose this way instead of power, he's brave like Neo. I believe that there was a reason our worlds collide. It can't be an accident. There are no accidents." Trinity scoffed "Now you sound like Morpheus. He says that a lot." Hermione and Trinity were acting like a bunch of teens on the phone.
The feast was over. Dumbledore stood up. "In the recent events of the wars of Voldemort and machines, I decided that we'll have an all night party as relaxation." All the students cheered. Dumbledore spoke again. "But before we do I believe someone has something to say. Something we all need to here. I give you Morpheus." Many cheered. They all thought he was cool (except Malfoy and his cronies). "Hogwarts! Here me! It's true what most of you have heard: Voldemort and the machines have gathered their armies and as I speak they are nearing our homes.
I stand here before you truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I believe in something you do not? No. I stand here because I remember. I remember because I am here not because of the path that lies before me. But because of the path that lies behind me. I remember that for one hundred years we fought these machines. I remember that for twenty years you fought these death eaters. And after these two wars I remember that which matters most: we are still here! (cheers) tonight! Let us shake this castle. Tonight let us send a message to those armies. Let them remember: this is Hogwarts and Zion and we are not afraid!" everyone was cheering.
There was Zion music playing and some of the Weird Sisters playing. People like McGonagall and captain Soren shook his hand. "I remember" came a voice. It was Niobee. "I remember you used to dance. I remember you were pretty good." Morpheus extended his hand and smiled "There are some things in this world captain Niobee that will never change." The two danced and were in the middle of the floor being cheered by Ron, Dean, Seamus, and others "Go Morpheus! Go Morpheus!" Harry and Hermione were dancing to a slow song later. They held each other (btw, this has a lot of romance, so if you're bored you can skip ahead.)
Harry had his arms around her waist and Hermione with her hands around his shoulders and neck. After the song was over Harry whispered to Hermione, "Let's get out of here and spend time alone." Hermione giggled and the two left.
Neo and Trinity were together. "Trinity, want to go spend some time together?" Trinity smiled "It's about time" the two left for Room of requirements. They heard giggling. "Oh my—Harry! Your tongue was—oh you are such a bad one!" Neo opened the door and found Harry and Hermione embracing each other. The two jumped. "Oh my...N-Neo and Tr-Trinity. We were just...uh..." Neo smiled and held up his hand "It's okay, I understand so I'll tell you what, we'll just go somewhere else." They left. Harry and Hermione laughed embarrassed.
"Hermione, I love you too damn much to ever give up on you." Harry said. Hermione smiled "I know you wouldn't give up on the ones you loved. You're a brave wizard. And I know that you would do anything to help me and I appreciate that."
Meanwhile, back in the Riddle manner there was a meeting. Voldemort was sitting in his chair talking to another in a chair. The other figure was in darkness. "So, sir you want to help me? Why does a muggle have interest in this war?" The figure chuckled. "Well you see Mr. Riddle, there is a certain individual who is helping the wizards...your enemies. And I am not a muggle. I am something more. I am a renegade."
Voldemort smiled. "You said that you had your own army." The man smiled "Yes, in fact, turn on the lights. My army is here." The lights came on and fifty Smiths stood behind Smith in his chair. "I am Smith. No longer an agent of the Matrix system. I am free. I want Neo dead! And you want Harry dead. By helping me you will have your desires. I have talked to the Sentinel machines who will participate."
As if on cue a sentinel appeared near the window. "You see, with your army with the sentinel army your forces will be unstoppable. And my army will be waiting for Neo. My army is going to help me create more so that when the time comes they will crush the rest of our enemies." Voldemort accepted. Smiths left. Smith laughed "The fools: the death eaters and the sentinels. I will have it all soon!"
Back at Hogwarts when the sun rose. Harry woke up earlier than ever. It was dawn. He went downstairs. Neo was there too. "Neo?" Neo looked up "Hey." Neo looked troubled. "Neo...um is something wrong?" Neo sighed "Yes, Harry I'm the one and I don't know what to do. I'm just trying to figure it out. To tell you the truth I have a dream that Trinity jumps out of a building and falls." Harry looked concerned. "Does she die?" Neo shook his head. I don't know what to do." Harry sat down next to him "Neo, I know what it feels like. And I want you to know that I will help you if you want to. I know what it's like to be a hero to everyone and worry about a love." He looked embarrassed after the accident last night.
Neo smiled "Thanks. You helped me there kid. You're a great kid Harry. A piece of advice too: don't lose your friends. Best friends are more precious than gold." Harry liked this "Thanks Neo, I know what you mean. Once Ron and I got in a fight and I was so depressed about it, I felt as if I was robbed." Neo and Harry than found out that breakfast came quickly; soon everyone was down for breakfast. Hermione looked at Harry the two of them smiled and ate their breakfast. Niobee was discussing things with Morpheus. "You know, the Osiris sent me transmissions this morning that the machines made an alliance with this Voldemort. I think the two evil forces are going to siege this school. We should talk to Dumbledore." Morpheus agreed to this.
Later that day Morpheus came to Dumbledore told him what Niobee told him. And Niobee came up with the transmission. It showed the Riddle manor and sentinels swarming around. Smiths were shown leaving it. "What?" Morpheus was shocked. "Smith? Why would he do something like this? Unless he's playing him." Dumbledore thought. "But he can search one's mind. But no doubt Smith wasn't an idiot to be unprepared. He might've been able to hide his plans to Riddle."
They thought and thought. They thought that the APUs could serve as defenses. The infantry would be there also with aurors. It was getting close to Christmas. Harry wanted to get the rebels things too for their help and they were his friends. Harry got Ron a quiditch book tactics to help him with his keeper position. He got Neo a book on famous heroes of history (thought it might help him get through his problem) he got Hermione a charmed necklace; it had a dove on it. It was to help him locate her.
On Christmas morning Harry woke to find lots of presents at his bed. Ron gave him some magic talismans to keep him safe this will be useful in the war against you-know-who. I hope you like them. –Ron. Harry got a gift from Hagrid and it was some kind of egg. There wasn't even a note. He figured Hagrid would explain when he should.
His present from Hermione was what he was looking forward to. Hermione's gift was a ring. A golden ring with a green jewel on it. He found a note with it.
Dear Harry,
I found this nice ring in diagon alley. It's supposed to protect you from any treacherous doings. It's also so we can be in contact with each other...mentally that is. So, see you later.
Love,
Hermione
Harry smiled. He put it on and felt strange. He seemed so aware of everything. Later that day there was the Christmas feast. Everyone was happy even the rebels seemed so happy. Hermione and Harry both talked about how they loved each other's gifts. After dinner Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Neo, and Trinity had a snowball fight with Morpheus, Niobee, Ghost, Neville, Luna and even Dumbledore himself. They all had so much fun. Harry went to sleep with some peace for once in a long time. Neo too was able to sleep well.
Yeah, hope ya liked it! I'm sorry if I was repetitive with the Merovingian but it was fun to right. And I'm sorry about a lot of romance too for those of you who are getting bored. Well, yeah lots of this has quotes from Reloaded, and I'm doing my best so enjoy.
