Re: [FFML] Re: [AMG][revised] Obeying Destiny, Chapter 3

    I have a sudden and irrational desire to write a Martix/A!MG fusion.

    I will resist.

Unfortunately, I didn't. ^_^


    Waking up in a decimated town that's littered with bodies isn't exactly
high on Chris' list of fun things.

    He started to look at each of the bodies, seeking a survivor.  As he
checked each one, he was horrified by what he saw: each one no matter age or
size, had been pummeled to death in a way that just couldn't be possible.

    The feeling of a pair of presences, each one radiating a great deal of
power, brought Chris' head up with a snap, and he gazed towards the
direction they seemed to be coming from.  The ground?  No, there, in the
air!  Two streaks of light coming in his direction at amazing speed.
Looking closer, he saw...

    A midget.

    And a child.  With green skin.  Like the people around him.

    The fliers paused, and then streaked down towards him.  They landed in
front of him, and stared at him in amazement.

    "Ne, Dende-san?  I thought all the Namekians had been killed!"

    "So did I," the child replied.  "Only me, the Elder, and Neil were
left."  He frowned at Chris.  "Who are you?  I don't know you, and I know
all my people."

    Chris slowly looked down at himself, a clinical portion of his mind
taking in the sights.  A very muscled body, quite unlike his.  With green
and pink skin.  He swiviled his eyes upward and noticed two antennas.

    After a second, he openned his mouth, and the following came out.

    "It's not easy, being green..."

God's Toy Z

(Oh, come on, you were expecting it!)

**********

    Gally blinked the fluid out of her eyes, astonishment fighting with
sheer joy in her heart right now.  "Figure?"

    The scruffy fighter held her naked body like it was an eggshell, gaping
openly.  "You're alive," he said softly, and hugged her tightly.  "ALIVE!"
He began to shower her with kisses despite Gally's weak protests.

    "Oh wow," Koyomi breathed, and then brought up her camera quickly.
"This is SO cool!" she squealed as she began snapping pictures.

    "Stop...Figure...stop," Gally protested, not able to help a few giggles
she tried to fend him off.  "STOP!" she suddenly shouted.  Figure froze, and
she struggled to have him set her down.

    It was a shock, actually feeling the ground, the air, everything with a
real body.  Somehow, Gally's brain remembered all the sensations, but they
were unfamiliar, like the paths they used were old and overgrown with other
memories, and the trail had to be blazed once more.  Gally tried to take a
step, and stumbled.  Figure caught her, and she smiled at him.  She pointed
towards the wall, and said "Break it."

    Figure's foot went through it was tissue paper.

    They were in a short tunnel, at the end of which there came upon another
nodule like the one Gally was in, this one smaller, less developed, and
embedded into the wall.  Ropy strands came in and out of the nodule.  Gally
pointed to it again, and Figure sat her down before tearing the thin
covering open.  A gush of fluid exploded from it, and he looked inside.  He
blinked, and reached into the cavity, tearing out a head and torso of a
cyborg that was attached to a number of the ropy strands.

    "Set him here," Gally commanded.  Figure did as she asked, and watched
as she prodded and poked at the head and torso, gasping as she pinched or
pricked a finger on the internal workings.

    "Who is he?" Figure asked.

    "His name is Chris," Gally replied as she fiddled.  "While I was
being...grown," she paused and shuddered.  "I was kind of going crazy from
the isolation, and somehow he got hooked into the...plant.  He told me the
most amazing stories while I was waiting.  They were so real, almost like I
was living them."  The head suddenly jerked, and the eyes flickered open.
"Finally!"

    The eyes focused on her, and then the face frowned in concentration.
They then flickered over to Figure, and frowned again.  "Who..."

    "Don't you remember me?" Gally pleaded.  "I'm Gally.  You told me all
those stories."

    "Stories?"  The frown again, and then a sort of quick head shake.  "No.
No.  Who...am I?  What stories did I tell?"

***

    "I suppose this will do," Chris said as he watched the blades in his
body's forearms extend and retract.

    "I should hope so," Kaos said amusedly.  "It cost me enough to have this
built.  The body should be fast, you'll be able to run like the wind."

    "Are you sure about this, Chris?" Gally asked again.  "Maybe I
should..."

    "NO," he said forcefully.  "You stay here with Figure.  I've been told
the stories, you deserve the peace.  I have to do this.  It just...feels
right this way.  Alone."  He paused, and looked out the window of the
cyberdoc's recovery area.  "I have to find out who I am - if all those
stories you say I told you were really true."

God's Toy: The Search For Memory

********

With a gasp, she woke from the dream into hard, cold reality.  A knife
pulled from her skull removed the last of her chains, and she was free.

A hard on her shoulder, and the face of a loved one.  "Trinity!" Neo
shouted.  "What's wrong?"

"Agent," she gasped.  "Almost got me."

"Oh," Neo said with a relieved tone.  "I thought it was something serious."

"It wasn't that," Trinity insisted.  "Someone stopped the agent."

Neo froze, and looked at her in shock.  "Stopped it?  Who?  Who was it?"

"That's what's strange," she replied.  "The one who saved me was ANOTHER
AGENT!"

"Bullshit," Tank called from a console.  "That just doesn't happen."

With a shake of her head, she argued, "It had to be.  This guy took over
somebody's body.  He moved as fast as an agent.  But..."

"But what?" Neo demanded.

"He didn't LOOK like an agent.  He was too...different.  He was tall, and
pale, and freckled.  He wore clothes like ours, but more normal," with a wry
smile she added "not so cool."  She reached out and put her hand on Neo's
forehead.  "He just did this to the agent, said 'I exorcise thee from this
mortal vessel,' and then the guy was back to normal."  She dropped her hand
and asked Neo, "Could you do that?"

Neo frowned.  "No.  Yes.  Probably.  I'd have to try it and see."

"Well," Tank said a little too brightly.  "You're okay now, and that's
that."

Neo nodded, and helped Trinity stand from the chair.  They began to walk out
of the room when she stopped suddenly.  "Wait, there's something else."  She
grabbed Neo and looked into his eyes.  "After he saved me, he said
something."

"What?" Neo breathed.

"He asked me, 'Are you The One?'  When I answered him 'No,' he whispered
something under his breath, and then said 'If you know him, please, I beg
you.  Tell him to seek out one called Keiichi Morisato.  Near him, you will
find me, Christopher Angel.  I speak for those who could be your greatest
allies.  If he truly wishes to free mankind from my brethren, he will need
our help.'"

"Is that it?"

"No.  I asked him why he would help us, and he replied, 'Not all AIs were
and are mankind's enemies.  Some still fight for you now.'"

God's Toy:  The War of Machines
A "The Matrix" Story

************************
If I ever get to writing this one, I'm going to work it on the idea that the
Demons in OMG were actually the rebelious AIs.  Yours truly's avatar in said
work was an AI who was on the Gods (Bad Guys) side who ended up turning.

Oh well.
