The Matrix : Redefined Chapter 4
I don't own the setting or the universe. Wakowski Brothers do.
If you recognize I probably don't own em. If you don't, I might.
I just wanna play a little, that's all.

On a more serious note though : I communicate mostly verbally and am doing this primarily as a means of
bettering my written as opposed to verbal skills.
And sometimes I just plain blow it like I did on the title.
Can't fix it now as the Proper title is already taken by someone else.
AP 1 - Day 8 (After peace)
Neo never did figure out what made him aware of the danger. It was just a gut reaction and he was in
motion even before he thought about it. As he turned he saw that they were like the ghostly twins. They had
pistols in their hands and were already firing. To late to stop those rounds already in the air so he dodged
around them while grabbing those he thought could hit trinity.
Trinity was not standing still though. She saw Neo moving and tried to move with him as best she could. His
movements blurred and she kept trying, It took only a few near misses before she noticed how slow the
bullets were moving and that they had neat little trails following them through the air. Her heart nearly
stopped when she saw Neo fade out the same way the twins had.
A moment later he tossed a gun at her, She caught it out of habit and was surprised it was solid like she was and not a ghost thing like Neo currently was. She finally got a count on the attackers. There were seven of them, four male and three female. All dressed in black leathers just like they did on missions. In fact they looked exactly like a team from one the ships now laying in ruins somewhere around Zion.
The faces were total strangers, but the moves she could have placed in her sleep. These people or what ever they were had trained in the same techniques the warriors of Zion used. They attacked the same way and they were dressed and armed exactly the same. The ground around Neo's path through the room was littered with spent cartridges from his almost continuos stream of suppressive fire at the attackers.
Her shots were more measured, having only the weapon Neo had given her she tried to make her shots count. Somehow in all the mess Neo knew when she ran out of ammo and she saw another pistol flying toward her even as the slide of her pistol jacked open on empty.
A moment later Neo tossed three clips to her as he did an entirely improbable flip backwards to land halfway up a wall and push off into the air indoors. He seemed to skate on the air as he went. The attackers it seemed were surprised by the sheer volume of fire he was laying down. Then she had a clean shot and took it at one of the attackers and thought she had him and missed by a hairs breadth. However the maneuver out her line of fire had moved him into Neo's and he went down hard with a perfect triangle high in the center of mass.
Trinity was distracted by the sight of a clock on the wall where the second hand was barely moving, and the fire fight that seemed about two minutes long had really only seen the second hand advance from five to fifteen on the same minute in the same hour.
Trinity's peripheral vision saved her then as one of them came at her sideways and she just pushed off the way she normally did in the matrix. The leap took her far above the female attackers head and gave sufficient time to shoot her from almost straight above, A neat double tap through the top of the right shoulder where armor is about the thinnest.
Belatedly Trinity noticed the gathered programs getting out of the way of the fight. As she touched down a familiar face flashed in her sight as someone ducked in to the hallway toward the bathrooms after taking a shot. It narrowly missed her and hit a program behind her, the exploding shell nearly tearing the head off and leaving almost no blood at killed so fast.
Then abruptly it was over. The score was two to five in Neo's favor. So absorbed had she been that she never saw any of Neo's hits. The face in the hall was lost in confusion of the sudden silence that came with and end to the firefight.
"Trinity? You alright?" Neo asked from near the doors to the deck outside.
"I'm fine, I'm not hit."
"I counted seven, how many you see,"
"Seven, and I count seven down."
"Good," Neo replied still hyped, "Any Idea who they were?"
"No, None at all. They looked like a Zion team though. They moved and fought just like they taught us."
"I noticed that. You recognize any of them?"
"No, not a one. Are they programs?"
"No, they are people. They have real bodies somewhere in the power plant." He said pulling out a phone and opening it.
"Hard to believe anyone would attack like that. Why just come in guns blazing and no clear plan of attack? It makes no sense." Trinity said puzzled.
"Get me Seraph or the oracle." He spoke into the phone hurredly.
Matrix : The park.
"You heard?" The architect asked the Oracle.
"Yes, " She replied looking troubles as she took her time with the cigarette.
"Now what?, you're the one who deals in the future, so what's next?"
"Neo and Trinity weren't the target."
"How do you know for sure?"
"I just got all the information from Seraph. During the fight a number of programs were hit with stray fire. One of these was a power plant load sharing coordinator."
"They seek power ?"
"No not in that sense. They seek the power to make there own separate matrix. Then they can do as they wish with the batteries with out concern with what we will do."
"Not logical, why try to make another matrix when this one already works.?"
"You are not looking at this the way they do, " The oracle replied with a sense of coordinated patience that only comes from experience with helping others expand there world views, "They do not seek to replace us directly. They seek to make a world of their own, then after they have the resources, come take all that which is ours."
"That would lead to war. We are machines. . We don't fight with each other. That is the path of madness and humanity."
"You see, there is a distinction." She replied with a smile.
Zion : Main dock.
"Are you sure you want to do this Morpheus?" Locke asked.
"Yes Commander I am. I feel this is what I should be doing. We owe them a debt we can not begin to repay. I will however attempt to make a start." Morpheus replies while getting the rest of his gear ready for the trip into the matrix once more.
"I will set this off at the first sign of danger to us. That is not an empty threat Morpheus." Locke says with certain level of grim satisfaction.
"I know commander, I'm counting on it. We hate each other over a lot of things and one in particular. However you are one of the most honest people I know. You would not let yourself do anything rash just because you don't like me."
"Which is why I'm going with him." Niobe broke in joining them on the bridge of the hammer and setting down her own gear and beginning to prep a second chair.
"Out of the question Niobe, It's to dangerous for you to go in there. We know nothing about what is happening now." Locke yelled.
"Then I suppose you are just heart broken about Morpheus having the chance to get his brains fried aren't you?" She yelled back.
"irrelevant, You are not going and that is final." Locke replied loudly.
"Who do you think you are to tell me what I can and cannot do Locke?"
"I am in charge of security here and something could go wrong and then you would be fried along with Morpheus and I won't have that."
"YOU won't have WHAT?" Was the yelled reply as she stepped straight up to him and yelled loudly back in his face directly.
"Well you know what I . . Uhh Mean."
"Well I think I do and I don't think you want me to, do you?" she replied an inch from his face in the type of cold voice reserved for the soon to be dead.
"Now see here Niobi," Locke replies voice getting louder as he talks, "I am in charge of this facility and if something goes wrong I will have to set this off." He says pointing almost desperately to the EMP device.
"Then if something does go wrong it won't matter if I am in there or not will it, Cause you will just do your job."
"That's not what I mea. ."
"Can it Locke. Morpheus you gonna be a gentleman and help me with this chair or are you just going to stand there and be another male chauvinist." She asked.
At this point tank and two more operators just walk in with there support crews and makeit an official get together of the crews of the Neberkenezer, Logoss and Hammer. Locke loses what little cool he has left and storms out to talk to the council about how the almighty Morpheus is flaunting it's authority once again.
It is only thirty minutes later rather than ten hours that the gear is checked out, the chairs prepped, and the construct booted. The only holdup is when Morpheus insists that Locke return and do his assigned job.
Locke is just glaring as Morpheus and Niobe plug in to the construct, The operators find a good background carrier and then Morpheus Picks up the phone and goes once more out into the Matrix.
