Hi hi. This is my first fic, so it may be kinda crappy and I don't expect
anyone to review. Just read it anywayz. One more thing, you must know that
I'm obsessed with the Matrix, or to be more specific, the Twins. I can also
use pretty bad language at times, but if you're gonna be reading my fics,
ya might as well get used to it.
Disclaimer: Whatever doesn't belong to me, I don't own. I own everything else (which actually isn't much).
PG13- May be some bad words in the later chapters and a limited amount of romance. #_^

The Twins Versus the Duo
* * * * * * * * * * *
The Problem and a Possible Solution
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Neo sat up in the loading chair. Morpheus, Trinity and Link stood around him with a puzzled frown on their faces. "Let's go to my cabin." Morpheus said. Neo heavily heaved himself up from the loading chair and followed everyone else.
~
Trinity: (concerned) What happened in there?
Neo: The Matrix is getting stronger.
Trinity: But then wouldn't you be as well?
Neo: The Architect managed to delete Smith and the copies so that I wouldn't become anymore powerful together with the Matrix, Smith being my link to the inner Matrix system.
Morpheus: Then we got a problem. Big problem. If The One isn't strong enough to deliver us from the Matrix, then the prophecy is inaccurate and there is no more hope for the human race.
Neo: ... ...The Twins and the Merovingian. I never thought that I would ever say this, but...it's impossible.
Trinity: The Merovingian doesn't fight you. Well, not directly anyway.
Neo: He is in charge of the Twins.
Morpheus: Yes, but your current problem is the Twins and whoever else that gets locked in physical combat with you.
Neo: It's mainly the Twins and that thing with their phasing.
Link: Can't you launch a surprise attack and kill them in one shot?
Trinity: And how's he supposed to do that?
Link: Hack off their heads?
Neo: They watch out for each other and when they phase everything can just pass through them, or vice versa.
Morpheus: And even if he succeeded in doing that, the Merovingian can always recreate them.
Trinity: Wait.
She smiled as she put her idea into words.
Trinity: How about fighting fire with fire, or in this case, program with program?
Neo gasped as he realized what she was saying.
Neo: Why didn't I think of it before? Trinity you're a genius. Link, you know what she means right?
Link nodded.
Neo: Hack into the Matrix as far as you can and program the very solution to the defeat of the Twins. Got it?
Link: Yup, but first I would like to say that Trinity is all of beautiful, talented and smart, so it's no wonder that you fell in love with her.
Trinity and Neo: LINK!!!
Link: (sing-song tone) See what I mean? You two even say the same thing at the same time.
Morpheus sighed. What a typical meeting.
Trinity: Link, shut up and go do it.
Link walked off, loudly (and very out of tune) singing a love song from the 1970s.
~Three hours later~
Link: I can't penetrate any deeper Neo.
Neo: Sure?
Link: Uh huh.
Trinity: So what's the best program you can create at this stage?
Link: I figured that the opposite of the Twins would be the best.
Trinity: And that would be?
Link: Two girls-
Neo: GIRLS?!
Link: Uh... yeah... like I said, the opposite of everything the Twins are would be the best.
Trinity: (Mocking look on her face) And us females use our brains as well, not just brute force.
Link: As I was saying, two girls – main color 'theme' is black – as in clothes. You know, the way the Twins are white, except these two will have normal skin.
Morpheus: There's more right?
Link: Lot's more.
Neo buried his head in his hands. This was going to take ages.
Link: And the girls-
Neo: Hang on. Girls? Meaning kids?
Link: Opposite of the Twins.
Neo turned to Trinity.
Neo: What about you? You think it's gonna work this way?
All eyes were focused on Trinity as she made her decision.
Trinity: Everyone stop staring at me! Okay, okay. It may work-
Neo: WHAT?! Are you out of your min-
Trinity: LET ME FINISH!
Neo stopped shouting and stood there with his mouth still open, shocked at this sudden outburst. Trinity took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Trinity: Neo, close your mouth. You look like some kind of flytrap. All right, maybe as children it might and probably will be quite a disaster, while as adults, well I don't fare too well against the Twins, and that way we wouldn't have opposites anymore.
Link: So you're saying that something in between is good?
Trinity rolled her eyes. "Yes Link."
Neo: Fine with me. So now we have female teen-agers dressed in black. Next?
Link: Shades versus no shades.
Morpheus: How's that supposed to help them?
Link: They can probably see clearer.
"But that way they'll ruin our 'basic costume plan'." Neo whined.
Trinity: We aren't concerned with that right now Neo.
Neo started pouting.
Link: Erm... can I continue?
Trinity: Yeah. * sigh * Go ahead Link.
Link: Hairstyle: Twins- long white dreadlocks, these two- short black normal hair.
Neo cheered up when he heard this.
Morpheus: And what are the advantages here?
"Less messy?" Link said uncertainly.
"Whatever."
Trinity: And you managed to get Neo out of his silent kiddy tantrum.
But now Neo was going overboard.
"Are they going to be dressed like Trinity as well?" Neo asked hopefully. "Black, shiny, tight, you know the sort."
Trinity: NEO!!!
"There goes a happy pair..." Link quietly sang.
Morpheus: Powers? Abilities?
Link: This part can't be too opposite, cause if it was, these two instead of healing themselves , like when the Twins phase, they would-
Neo: I get it! I get it! You don't have to explain everything in such nitpicking detail! We weren't born just yesterday you know!
Link: Sorry, but I thought that in case you didn't notice these things, there might be a misunderstanding and then-
Neo: There you go again!
Trinity: Break it up you two. Link, will we be able to recreate them if um...something unfortunate happens?
Link: A very slim chance. The Matrix is rapidly getting stronger and it's very likely that before anything happens to 'our twins'-
Neo: So they are twins. Okay, but aren't they supposed to be the opposite of the Merovingian's Twins?
Link: Like I said, the Matrix is getting stronger and I could only go deep enough to create one basic template and two separate programs.
Morpheus: Excuse me, what about the question I asked earlier?
Link: Hang on. I haven't finished explaining to Neo yet. The Matrix is updating and improving really quick and it's almost a sure bet that before any thing happens to these two, the Matrix would have become immune to our hacking.
Trinity: Bummer. But if it's the best we can do * shrug * it's the best we can do.
Morpheus: Hey! Does anyone here even know of my existence?
Link: Sorry Sir.
Morpheus: Well then, what are their abilities?
Trinity: And their personalities?
Morpheus: Link, my question first. I've waited too long for an answer already.
Link: Yes Sir. They can trans- short for transform –into darkness. As in when they're in the cover of a shadow and trans, they blend in, not camouflage, but become invisible. If they want to, I mean. They won't automatically become invisible.
Morpheus: And when they're not in the shadows?
Link: They sorta become silhouettes of their other beings, but remain three- dimensional. They'll also be like the Merovingian's Twins when it comes down to being like some kind of ghost.
Trinity: Won't they be like the rest of us? I mean, yeah, they can trans and become 'non-touchable', but the Twins can do that too, so it won't help.
Link: No worries. If the Twins phase and these two trans, they'll be able to continue fighting as if they were in their solid state, though no one else will be able to come into 'physical contact' with them. You guys get the drift of it, right?
Neo: More than just the drift.
Morpheus: Health and status restoration percentage?
Link: Hundred percent. They'll be as good as new once they trans, regardless of how bunged up they were previously.
Trinity: What are they skilled in?
Link: Gymnastics, karate, and very skilled in using other weapons, especially things like razors and blades. And I forgot to mention that they can go anywhere shadows fall when they trans, even up to the mountaintops or the bottom of the deep blue sea, if there are shadows there, that is.
Morpheus: Won't they be able to go anywhere unseen when they trans then?
Link: Don't confuse shadows with plain old low light intensity.
Trinity: What are they equipped with?
Link: I can only manage to equip them with a starting out set of one switchblade, a razor, and a pair of those wha'cha might call it, ninja daggers?each.
Trinity: Personalities?
Link: One will be more aggressive while the other not so-
Neo: Didn't you say that you could only manage to create one basic design?
Link: You heard right. I said I could only create one basic design. Their personalities will be like a pair of normal twins: one dominant twin who is probably more mature and stuff like that. Ever heard the Merovingian's Twins quarrel before?
Neo: You have?
Link: It's my favorite pastime. When I have nothing to do I like to sit here in front of the screen and watch them argue. It's quite interesting really.
Neo: Who usually wins?
Link: One.
Neo: I know that. Not both of them can win.
Link: I mean Twin One. That's one of the twin's names.
Neo: Oh yeah. I forgot.
Neo: How do you know who is who?
Link: Two is the crazy and more hyper twin and he usually loses in their brother arguments.
Trinity: Sounds more like you're describing Neo.
Neo: Trinity, you're just full of rubbi-
Trinity: SHUT YOUR BIG STUPID MOUTH!!!
Neo immediately did as he was told. Trinity flashed him a triumphant smile.
Trinity: There you go Link. A perfect example.
Link: Can I create them now?
Morpheus: You haven't told us how they're dressed yet.
Link: Can you all go into the Matrix and see for yourselves once I've created them? I'm getting a severe case of migraine here with all this explaining.
Neo: It's your own fault for being so long-winded.
Link: Sorry. You know, everyone is different, so you can't really blame me for being like this. It's just the way I am. I can't help it if I'm naturally like this. No one is perfect, you know that. And so I end by saying: I am who I am, and that's all that I am.
Trinity: Well that 'all' that you are is quite a lot.
'I think Link just discovered a new, easy and free way of curing migraine,' Neo thought to himself. 'Just give some one else a headache.' He groaned. Why oh why did Morpheus have to choose Link of all the people there were to be their operator?
Link: So can I create them now? Everything's fine, right?
'No. Everything is not fine,' Neo said to himself. 'But the problem is not the program; it's you, Link, you and that motor-mouth of yours.' Of course he didn't dare say that out loud. He knew that if he did, Trinity was sure to murder him, so what he did say (together with Trinity and Morpheus) was "Great, it's perfect."
Link smiled with satisfaction. Finally the long interrogation-like process of answering everyone's multiple questions was over.
Link: So now I create them?
Everyone else: Yes.
Link fiddled around with a few keys and pressed 'enter'.
A masterpiece had been created.
