What is the sense of human's life? Have you ever thought about it? Is it money? Is it fame? Is it wise? Is it...death ? Or maybe it's love? Funny, isn't it...Everything can be the sense of our life. But if it is really love, than why don't everybody have it, why can't everybody feel it? And why the hell there are so many divorces and violence? Is it only chemistry or something more, something deeper? Can you describe it? Can you touch it? Can you feel and remember it forever? Think about it...
This was the end...The end of the war, of hate and fighting. But was it the end of pain? The war was gone, there was peace instead. So how could there be any pain left? No more slavers, only free people. No more killing, no more fear. Zion was happy. Everybody were celebrating. Morpheus stood with pride, holding Niobe in his arms. He looked at all these people. They were the heroes, the survivors. They didn't give up, they didn't loose their faith and now they were free, thanks to...
-„Morpheus..."- said Niobe. She looked in Morpheus's eyes, which were no longer filled with victory or joy, only tears. She knew why he was crying. „Morpheus, they did it for us..."
-„Things will never be the same again, Niobe."- he replied, sanding her a sad smile. „There's something missing..."
-„What ?"- asked Niobe.
-„The true heroes. Zion can't forget about them."- after these words, Morpheus let go Niobe and climbed to the highest spot of Zion. He whispered to himself „Trinity, Neo. I hope you can hear me now. I don't know how did you do that, but it's a miracle. You have done miracle. And I'll make sure Zion will remember it..."-One more time he looked at the people, which now started to stair at him. Using the moment, Morpheus shouted – „Zion ! Listen to my words and never forget them! This war cost us many lives. I know many of you have lost their families and homes. But don't loose your hope! We will rebiuld Zion, and once again, start to live normal, without fear, doubt and terror. One day we will come back on the surface of Earth and rebuild the cities, stone by stone, brick by brick, hand after hand. And let us not forget about the ones that saved us! That saved Zion!...- he stopped for a moment, but then shouted again - Neo ! Trinity ! Two brave soldiers, who sacrificed their lives to save our lives! Let them live forever in our minds! Without them, humanity would be lost! From now on this day will be accepted as a memory of those who were killed, of those who survived, and of those who ended the war! The Miracle Day ! Remember ! THEY ARE STILL HERE ! AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET ABOUT THEM ! NEVER !"
After Morpheus's speach people rose their hands, started to applause, shout and laugh. There was a new spark of hope. Now it was their destiny to heal what machines destroyed and start to live in peace with them. It was hard but not impossible...
Three days after the war ended...
Bodies were found everywhere. Zion was a giant cemetery. Blood was mixed mith metal. Human's bodies were lying beneath destroyed machines. Death was in the air. Every next day ment new funerals, new cries for the dead ones and new hope for the future. Nobody was resting. Work was everybody's duty. Also for the first time machines were helping people. They were removing dead robots, building new walls, fixing the electricity and homes.
Link and Kid were sent in one of the sewers. They were looking for bodies. It was really sad to still find new people, killed, covered with their own blood. It was like a nightmare. There was no end of this valley of death. How many were still under the layer of metal, machines and blocks, nobody knew.
-„God, what a view."-said Link. He was almost crying.
-„Wish I could faint now, but I can't leave you alone"-Kid tried to joke.
-„This is hell, it seems there's no end of these searches ! More than half of Zion is dead ! Fuckin' machines...I just wish Trinity and Neo somehow survived..."
-„I doubt it Link, though I wish I could see them both...I miss them..."
-„They really loved each other. You could easilly see it. Once I told Morpheus, that soon he will become a baby-sitter, because Neo and Trinity haven't came out from their cabin for 24 hours. You should see Trinity's face than. She heard everything..."- he stopped and sighed.
-„Yeah, it's just like when we left them in the elevator..."- he smiled a little and looked down.
-„Kid, don't you mind if...if I hug you?"-said Link. Kid stepped back and started to stair at Link, who was almost in tears, standing in front of him with opened arms."Ow common Kid, stop looking at me like that."
-„Okey, but it's only because I like you and I'm depressed."And they threw into each other's arms.
During their friendly hugging, a pair of lights glew on them. They jumped back, and saw a large machine flying above their heads, holding something in it's metal arms. It was a human's body, another dead, human's body...But it looked kind of familiar.
-„Holly shit ! Did you see that !" – Link shouted, obviously shocked.
-„Aaaaaa, aaaaaa, aaaa, I think I don't know what to think...And how do you think? Did it see us? You know, they are only machines, but...it can tell someone..."
-„Damn !"- he covered his head with his hands- „Somehow I'm scared...Something is going to happen. And I know it ! I can feel it in my bones. Common Kid, we're heading to Zion."
-„I know Link something is going to happen! That THING saw us HUGGING!"
They started to run after the machine. They both knew something wasn't right.
The machine entered gate 3 and landed in the middle of Zion. Everybody could feel that the machine brought a very important message. A large crowd circeles the robot, which started to lower his arms, lying gently a man's body on the cold floor. He was pale and badly injured. Blood was all around him. His mouth was slightly opened, his eyes covered with a peace of material, his clothes thorn. The machine flew in the air and returned to the sewer. For a few seconds nobody stepped closer to the left body. Suddenly Morpheus came out from the crowd. He walked slowly to the lying body, then knelt by it's side. Morpheus put one hand on the man's forehead. A shock went up his spine. „Neo..." he whispered. Link and Kid finally ran to the spot. Niobe was standing next to Zee. Commandor Locke also stepped closer. He was curious of the delivery. The crowd hushed in disbelief. Than women started to pray. Children were crying and wanted to run away from this place. Men tried to hide their sadness. Everybody went silent. They recognized the body.
Morpheus couldn't make any move. Neo was cold and lifeless. It scared him. He just couldn't believe. Finally he gathered his strenght and lowered his hand to Neo's neck. „Please, only a little bit of life..."-Morpheus whispered. He checked his pulse. But he couldn't feel anything, only the coldness of his skin. Morpheus droop his head, still holding the fingers on Neo's neck. A single tear rolled from his eye, landing on The One's still form.
Suddenly Morpheus rose his face and opened eyes widely. „Can't be, can't be..."-we whispered over and over again. Niobe couldn't stand like this anymore. She walked to him and put gently her hand on his sholder.
-„It's alright Morpheus. You can't change it. You can't do anything more. "- she said letting go a quiet sob.
-„No."- he replied – The Oracle was wrong. It's the beginning..."- He looked in Niobe's eyes, than added - „The One is alive..."
Niobe opened her mouth. Morpheus stood up and turned to the crowd. „The One is alive!"- he said out loud."He needs to be taken to the Med Bay ! Hurry ! Now!"
-„I knew something will happen today!"-Link shouted. Than he ran to Morpheus and helped him in picking Neo's body up from the floor. People moved back, a smile showed on their faces.
