[A/N: I may be pushing the T rating with the language in this chapter. I have never seen Tron Legacy, but I read up on Clu and have seen him in Dream Drop Distance so hopefully he's in character. This chapter was actually a lot of fun and made me think back to the Grid chapter from Dearly Beloved. Reviews are appreciated. Enjoy the chapter!]

This new world was very strange looking. It was black with shades of blue that illuminated the hanger they were in. She could feel weight on top of her and pushed Akio off her. "Someone changed our clothes." She was wearing a black unitard with glowing blue stripes going up the sides.

Akio was wearing an outfit similar to hers, but where Juliet was wearing blue he was wearing red. He yanked the helmet off that he'd been wearing. "I can never breath with that damn helmet on."

"Well where are we?"

"It's called the Grid."

Juliet stood up looking around the hanger when she saw people dressed in red and black coming towards them. "Who are they?"

Akio went rigid when he saw who was approaching. "Those are guards. Clu's guards actually."

"I see….why are you dressed like them anyway?"

"I used to be one of Clu's guards. Until I met you and then I was supposed to take you to Clu since you're a user, but instead I left with you. And I was never planning on coming back since Clu probably heard about this and I'm sure is very angry with me for not obeying his orders."

"Well it looks like they're getting closer." She summoned her Keyblade, but quickly wished she hadn't when she how many guards there were.

All the guards were wearing helmets which obscured their identities, but the one had the head of the group seemed to recognize Akio. "Well look who decided to come crawling back. Where've you been this whole time Akio? And you brought a user? Good Clu will be glad he's been looking for someone worthwhile to fight Rinzler."

Juliet looked over at Akio. "Who's Rinzler?"

"Rinzler is Clu's pets. He likes to have him fight other programs for fun."

"Sounds like a classy guy."

The guard who'd recognized Akio wasn't pleased with having his leader slandered. He grabbed Juliet by the arm and began leading her away. "Thanks for the user Akio we'll make sure to take good care of her."

"Well I've got some things I'd like to say to Clu and I'm not about to leave Juliet behind."

"When did you become noble? Come with if you want to talk to Clu, but don't expect to leave with your pet user."

As Juliet walked through the hanger she saw more people in blue and black or more of the helmeted guards. These people don't seem too threatening I could probably take these guards down easily. All though I don't think it would be a very good idea. There could be more of them lurking around here. She noticed that Akio was trying to catch her eye and looked over at him. "Well what?"

"I hate to say I told you so about coming here, but I told you so."

"Be quiet you've made your point."

Why are you getting so nasty with him? He's right you know you should have listened to him about not coming here. And now you're stuck here.

If I don't want to hear it from him what makes you think I want to hear it from you?

"You're talking to him aren't you?"

"Yes, I was talking to the parasite."

Must you keep calling me a parasite?

"I didn't notice it until just now, but one of your eyes is still black. I guess that's because you're sharing a heart with him."

"I guess…" Juliet tapped the shoulder of the guard in front of her. "So, we're going to see Clu right?"

"Yes."

"Why can't I just fight Rinzler and be done with it?"

"Oh don't worry about that you'll get your chance."

"I look forward to it."

"You say that, but when you see Rinzler you'll be quaking in your boots."

"I'm sure."

"Are all users smart asses or it only you?"

"Some of us are. Why am I growing on you?"

"Not at all. I don't see why Akio left with you in the first place."

"I don't know why either. I've been nothing short of rotten to him since we've met."

"Well he's going to be in for it as well once Clu gets a hold of him."

"What's going to happen to him? I heard something about getting derezzed."

"I suspect that will happen, yes."

Not if I have anything to say about it. Its one thing for me to abuse him, but I'm not going to give Clu that opportunity. In fact I have some things I'd like to say to Clu if we ever get there.

After a little while of walking they came into an area of some kind. Standing at the top of the area was a man wearing black and yellow. He looked a bit board with the proceedings, but was staring intently at the bottom of the arena. His lip curled into a sneer when he saw Akio. "Well, look who finally showed up."

Akio could feel his knees knock together as he looked up at Clu. "Juliet, you see that guy up there in yellow?"

"Yeah."

"That's Clu."

She frowned. "I'm not impressed. He just looks like a guy."

"Do you see that guy behind him in red with the helmet on?"

"Is that Rinzler?"

"Yep, that's Rinzler."

"Still not impressed."

"You haven't seen him fight. If you saw him fight you'd be saying something different."

"Hopefully I'll get the opportunity."

"Do you have a death wish?"

"No, I just think I can take him on easily."

"Well, you'll get what you want."

Clu had come down from his perch with Rinzler skulking about behind him. He was looking down his nose at Akio. "So you finally decided to come back? And you brought a user with you. You know how I feel about users."

"It's not his fault. I was messing around with a compute and sent us here by accident."

"Was I addressing you, user?"

Juliet felt her blood boil. "Well Clu this may be news to you, but did you ever stop think that maybe Akio doesn't want to be here anymore?"

Clu glanced over at her; there was a faint flicker of irritation on his face. "I still don't recall talking to you so if you don't mind will you shut your mouth."

She was about to interject further when Akio clapped a hand over her mouth.

"Just be quiet. If you piss him off it's just going to be worse."

Juliet pulled his hand away. "You think everyone is scared of you don't you, Clu? Well I'm not scared of you. I'll take anything you can throw at me."

"Anything?" Clu was glancing back at Rinzler. "Well user you've caught my attention. And here I thought all users were dull witless creatures. If you're really as strong as you say you are then you're free to go."

"And I'm taking Akio with me."

"Why? I was always under the impression that users thought they were better than us. Why would you want to take him with you?"

"Maybe I want company."

"Company? Is that all?"

"Yes, that's all. So are we going to do this or not?"

Clu glanced back at Rinzler before crooking his finger to bring him over.

Akio pulled Juliet aside before she could go forward. "You have no idea what you're getting into. Rinzler is going to tear you apart."

"I'm not scared of him. He hasn't even taken his helmet off so maybe he's scared of me."

"I highly doubt that. Clu has him well trained. If you back out now no one will think any less of you."

"And where will that leave you? Do you really want to get derezzed?"

"Not really, but I'm not worried. I got out of here once I'm sure I could do it again."

"So were you going to show off how strong you are or where you going to continue to chit chat?"

"We were just wrapping up. I'm ready when you are." As soon as Juliet said this she was nearly knocked down on her back. It took a minute to get back to her feet since the wind had been knocked out of her. Rinzler isn't so tough, but he is fast I'll give him that.

Go for his head.

Why are you helping me?

Do you know how hard it is to find bodies? If you die I certainly don't want to go into Clu.

Rinzler was circling her looking for an opening when he sprung again.

Juliet jumped out of the way before swiping the Keyblade at his helmet scratching it.

Rinzler paused for a moment bringing his hand up to where the scratch was. He looked up at Clu who looked indifferent.

"You didn't like that did you? What's the matter? Are you going to go cry to your Daddy?" She quickly stepped out of the way when Rinzler through his disk at her. "You're not so tough. You won't even show me your face and I'm just some girl."

The goading only seemed to making Rinzler angrier, but his attacks were starting to become erratic. Even though Rinzler's attacks weren't hitting their marks they were still furious.

"You're losing steam Rinzler. Maybe you should stop now." Juliet swung the Keyblade up at Rinzler's helmet again hitting the scratch again; a dent was starting to form.

Rinzler was now so obviously enraged that he threw his disk aside and pounced knocking her onto her back.

Juliet hadn't expected this and felt a pair of strong hands wrap around her throat. She could feel Rinzler squeezing and momentarily forgot about the Keyblade and began scratching at his hands. I'm not going to let some computer program kill me.

Well then get him off you.

She tried again to pry Rinzler's hands off her neck only to feel his grip tighten.

Obviously you need my help.

Rinzler was digging his fingers when he felt something smack him hard in the chest.

Juliet got to her knees trying to catch her breath when she saw dark vapor recede back into her chest.

You're welcome. Now be a dear and get rid of him.

It will be my pleasure. Taking advantage of Rinzler's temporary weakened state Juliet rammed the Keyblade into the dent on his helmet.

At first it didn't look like it had done any damage, but when Rinzler went to attack again part of the helmet fell away revealing mottled grey skin beneath. He reached up to touch where his shield had come away before staggering backwards.

"Is that it? Are you done?"

Clu looked stunned. No one had ever defeated Rinzler and it looked like his pet had been stunned into submission. "What are you doing? Get back in there and kill her."

Rinzler looked torn between wanting to obey his master and wanting to get as far away from Juliet as possible. He half heartily threw his disk again, but it skidded to the floor.

"See you're not so tough. All I did was make a little crack in your helmet and you're running away with your tail between your legs."

The stunned look on Clu's face turned to rage which was directed at Rinzler. "What are you doing? Don't run away. She's only a little girl."

For all of Clu's shouting it looked like Rinzler was out of steam. Still cradling where his helmet was cracked he turned and made his way out of the arena.

Akio who was standing next to Clu began to back away thinking it wouldn't be too smart to stick around. He quickly made his way down to the arena where Juliet was already walking away. "You're really crazy you know that? I thought Rinzler was going to kill you."

"Well he didn't. Strange though how he got so upset after getting his helmet cracked a little bit."

"You know his name wasn't always Rinzler."

"What was his name?"

"Tron I think. Anyway let's get out of here before Clu comes to his senses."
