CHAPTER 2: TIME GOES BY...
Many things have happened in 25 years...
Peace proved to be fragile, it only lasted for one year… But it was a great year. Everyone was free to leave the Matrix whenever they wanted. Even the free people of Zion were free to get back in if they wanted. The machines changed the Power Plant. Instead of the cocoons, now people would lie on beds and have a helmet on their head, which controlled their brain waves. Getting out was more easy too, they just had to take the red pill and they woke up. Zion became a prosperous city. The Agents were all destroyed, as well as many programs.
Everything was ruined the night when Morpheus got shot by the Phantom. Since Neo and Trinity's death he had been trying hard to recover their bodies from Machine City. He wanted them back to Zion, because they were the heroes of the city. In his actions he did many things that seriously endangered the fragile peace. Yet, one dark night, in a dark alley, he got shot at the back by a man wearing a white mask. Before dying he managed to pull the mask of his face. The shock was great but he didn't get to say anything.
Niobe was devastated by his death. He was pregnant and some months later she gave birth to two twins: Castor and Pollux, two boys that would grow to look exactly like their father.
Morpheus' death meant the end of peace. Zion and the Machines were back at war. No person was allowed to jack out any more. Many people found themselves prisoners back in the artificial world. The citizens of Zion were outcasts again. Getting people out of the Matrix became an ordeal. The agents were brought back, but none of them was such a great menace as the Phantom was. The Phantom, the same man who had shot Morpheus, would kill everyone that tried to get out and everyone that would try to get them out. Many brave soldiers of Zion died in mission, killed by him. He never missed a target. He was Zion's number one enemy.
Castor and Pollux became soldiers, although Niobe disagreed. They had studied every piece of archive that they could find related to their father, to Neo and Trinity…They took charge of the Neb and tried to free many people, like their father did, years ago... And like their father, they had a prophecy to believe in…
In the 25 th year the Oracle made a new prophecy. All those changes did not affect her in any way. She and Seraph never changed, in any way. Now, she predicted that in less the one year's time the war would be over. Castor and Pollux received the mission to continue saving people and find The Chosen One. That was all she said…to look for The One. Not another detail…
