Karaa had her back pressed against cold concrete. She was close to the drop off location that EichDee had specified. She moved to take another glance around the corner knowing that it would not change the predicament she found herself in. Bluepills. They were all huddled around a flaming trash can between her and the objective. Karaa couldn’t afford to go near the more populated areas of Richland. If even one of them became suspicious of her she would have a nice face to face with agent Norris again. Though that sounded appealing, Karaa was still not at a 100% and therefore in no way ready to face him again. She took a deep breath and looked down at her clothes. Jeans with holes now peppered in multiple areas, her shirt was tarred up by her shoulder where the agent's bullet went in, her jacket, well it would probably be best to discard it but for now she kept it on. Blood spots could be seen on every part of her. She glanced around the corner again. Homeless most likely, Karaa concluded. She leaned against the wall. I can pull this off she thought, not like I have to add much to this look. She reached up and pulled the chop sticks that held her hair together out and pocketed them. Karaa took her hands and slid them into her hair before she started moving them back and forth in quick motions. Karaa's hair was already a mess so this just served to intensify the effect. Karaa looked at the ground and couldn't believe she was going to do this. She sighed and bent down to dip her fingers in the mud at her feet. She began to rub it on her face and on her hands. After a moment she straightened, took one last deep breath and then rounded the corner.

Location: Unknown, Somewhere in Downtown.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valaro walked into the underground carpark, his purple trench closed over to stop him from getting wet. The light drizzle had now become a heavy rain. It covered the entire city. He unbuttoned it then walked further into the car park. Ahead of him were two doors, black with a chrome strip, above it was a red dimmed light. And all around there were people dressd in latex and bondage outfits. He seemed rather out of place in comparison. A group of people entered through the doors and Valaro stopped to look at the sign.
"Club Hell"
This was a very familiar place, everyone awakened regardless of faction knew what was here. The Merovingians own Nightclub. a disgusting sess pool of drug induced maniacs, girls wearing little or nothing at all. Sex in the middle of dance floors. Slaves. And lots of Alcohol. This was the mervs place alright. He proceeded to the doors and was approached by two men.
" See, your wearing a trench coat. everyone else has crochless undies and latex attire. You stick out like a sore thumb. Plus we know all to well who you are. So tell us whats brought you here? Becasue you know the only way your getting in is over my..."
Valaro pushed him aside enough to take him off balance for a few seconds. quickly drawing his gun he shot the other exile in the leg, taking him to one knee and then turned to point in at the other in time for him to face him.
"Over your? I thought so. I need to speak with him, I have a proposition which will be very suitable to his needs shall we say?"
"Fine, go ahead"
"Oh now come on how many times have I been here before, your coming with me to let your little troupe below know I have safe passage" Valaro waved his gun several times in the direction of the doors, signalling him to go in. The two men took the elevator down to the botom floor, the doors opened out into an old style room with many pillars. ahead of them was a rack with hundred's of guns stored away while the guests party in the main room. They walked ahead and took a sharp left and proceeded down a set of stairs. The room was filled with thousands of people dancing. Loud music was all that could be heard. Valaro hit the Exile on the back of the head knocking him unconsious. Then time seemed to slow down he jumped into the air and onto the upper floor, he landed perfectly and six heavily armed men all took agressive stances at him. Valaro had his arm streched outwards, gun in his hand pointing it at one of the exiles. The Merovingian cried:
"STOP! Quel est le sens de ceci vous est pourquoi ici Valaro?" What is your purpose for being here?"
Valaro had his gun trained on Persephone. The Merovingian looking almost worried told his men to lower there weapons. Valaro lowered his and put it away in the holster on his coat pocket. He took a seat in front of The Merovingian.
"It's simple. You give me the back up I need and some inside information in order to fin..."
"Let me tell you something yes. I am a man of power. I reign over those wo have none. And you think you can walk in here making demands?"
"I'm not making demands. You name your price and we shall make a deal. Sound to be in your interest?"
"Dacorrd, Continuez"
Valaro began naming what he wanted in exchange for what The Merovingian would want in return.....

Karaa walked past the bluepills, keeping her head down. "Hey." One of them called out to her. She tried to keep her hair in her face as he approached. "You're new around here." It was a statement not a question "Yes." Karaa replied. "My names Pat, yours?" Karaa didn't response for a moment trying to think of a decent name to give him. "Emily." "Nice to meet you --" His voice cut off as he saw the blood on Karaa's clothes. "You know theres a free clinic near here..." "I'm fine." "Are you sure? You don't look fine." Great, Karaa thought, she was too disastrous to even fit in here. "Someone else's jacket, I picked it up in the vacant car lot over in Tabor." Pat nodded seemingly accepting my explanation. "Well let me know if you need anything, it can be hard out here." Karaa ventured to look up to see this man. Most kept to themselves in mega city, yet this man offered help, rare indeed. His face was cleaner than hers, mud was too much she mentally noted. Pat seemed to be around her age, early 20s. Karaa smiled, "Thanks, Pat. I have to be somewhere, friends need me." "Ah ok, I'm sure I'll see ya around." Karaa nodded and walked away slowly as he looked after her. She released a breath she didn’t realize she was holding. That was close. She saw the mailbox over on the other side of the street. Karaa looked to make sure no cars were coming before she crossed; she reached her hand inside and felt the top of the mailbox. After a moments search she found what she was looking for. Karaa pulled out a small package and opened it, inside were a handful of purple pills. "Way to go, Ocelet." Karaa said aloud.

((Avoiding doing actual work, so here is my next part lol)
Karaa walked over to an alley way, took out the small packet and slipped one of the small purple pills into the palm of her hand. She stared at it for a moment and then put it in her mouth and swallowed. Karaa didn't feel any different; she pulled out her cell phone and was in the process of putting up to her ear when she felt a shooting pain in her chest that quickly spread to her stomach. Karaa felt her hands smack into the concrete as she fell to her knees. Her cell phone fell, opened a few inches away. Karaa started breathing heavy as the pain shot through her body. She looked up and around as she gasped for air, she couldn’t let anyone see her. She reached for her cell as the pain intensified. What the hell... Karaa put the phone to her ear, "Operator." Her voice shook on a whimper. "Karaa!! I can see you!!! Hold on I’ll emergency jack you out." Ocelet's concern and excitement mixed to turn her voice high-pitched. "No. wait." Karaa wheezed. "Karaa?? Whats going on?" "The pill...it’s painful." Why couldn't anything be easy? Hadn't she endured enough today? “Painful…I – it shouldn’t be.” Karaa took a deep breath, “You can see me?” “Yes. Let me jack you out Karaa.” “No, I have to get-“Karaa gritted her teeth as a wave of pain washed over her. “The others” she continued, “I have to get them out.” There was silence on the other end of the line and some background beeping noise. “Ocelet?” Karaa whispered. “Karaa…Hurry.” Ocelet's own voice matched her own. Karaa immediately turned serious, “What is it?” “Sentinels.”

8 Minutes Earlier in Downtown
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valaro had an uneasy feeling. He sensed that the Zionites he had left behind were planning something. A Final cou? Perhaps they them selves were on there way to The Merovingian, to ask him for his help. It began to feel strange. He shook it off as he stepped into the veichle, and took out his cell phone. He dialled #481, the number every Zionite knows. The phones dial tone was still dead. A smile of relief poured over Valaros face. An Exile got into the driver seat and drove away from club hell. In the back were 3 other Exiles. Lupines, sent by The Merovingian to aid him.
He dialled anothe rnumber into his cell Phone. "Gray? I have it. Indeed. Shes been Jacked in for 13 days. Yes. She will spend a maximum of two weeks at any time inside the matrix, as her ship will need recharged after that. Yes. Uriah. Were on our way, but theres some sort of EPN disturbance happening on the main bridge in richland from downtown. I'm going to have to take the route through Westview. Ill hold up my end of the deal, if you make sure our pressence in Westview goes unnoticed. That sounds good. Any news on the remaning Tiger crew members? What do you mean she escaped? You need to find Eichdee or she will ruin eveything. Look I can beat her, Ive dont it many times. She has potential but shes not strong enou... Find her and kill her, and there wont be any more obstacles. Ok, send me the kill code. A mailbox just before the bridge leading to westview, ill collect it on my way." Valaro closed the slide on his phone, and sat back in the seat. this was the first real rest he had gotten since two days before hand back on the Tiger, he began to nod off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Karaa, you were my best friends girlfriend. About a week before he got killed by that Agent he made me swear to protect you. The only way I see that being possible is if your on my ship."
"Don't give me that oath to an old friend crap Val! I've seen the way you look at me at the temple parties. I dont feel anything towards you and to be honest its kind of creepy to serve on the same ship, with someone who has only one thing in mind!"
"DONT EVER TALK THAT WAY ABOUT DANNY! HE WAS THE CLOSEST THING I HAD TO A BROTHER AND THATS TA....." Valaro looked away, taking a breath to calm himself. "Look , your an attractive woman, but the reason I want you on the Tiger isnt just becasue of Danny, but becasue you have a speed at which Ive never seen a Redpill run at beside maybe Neo. You know of coded messages left, packages dropped. Other factions trying to get important data. Your speed is something the Tiger needs! Were the most loyal of Zion's followers and your one too. Join me!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valaro woke sudddenly to an Exile nudging him on the shoulder.
"Were here."
He stepped out of the car and looked around. It was still dark and quite diffiucult to see anything. Small dots glimmering could be seen in the distance, apartment windows open, with net curtains hanging outside as the residents slept not knowing what was going on. The treachery, the teamwork, the death. A street lamp nearby was flickering on and off, due to faulty wiring. a water main was spruing water all over the sidewalk where kids had been enjoying the fun earlier in the day. There was a silence. Not a breath of wind. Something was off. Val got back into the car.
"We wait. Somethings not right, I want to make sure there will be no mess ups. We wait and go on my order."
The Exiles sat and watched the mailbox and all around the car. Valaro decided he would catch another nap, and closed his eyes.... AUUGGGGHHHH! Valaro woke suddenly, grasping his chest! A massive pain was affecting him. A heart attack? Stroke? No something else? But what......

The black speeding 4x4s finally got in view of the bridge. The night acted both as an advantage and a disadvantage; There were not many civilians on the bridge, so less risk of collateral damage, but that meant they would be noticed easier. But with the three Dodge trucks full of exiles and weapons, it was as if they were begging for a battle. Valaro's explanation better be worth the shot!
The aqueduct separating Mega City in two was actually quite wide; it could take ten minutes at 40mph to get from side to side. Nothing like the highway connecting downtown and the center of town - which could take a good half an hour to cross at 60mph, depending on the traffic, and if you were actually going only that far, and not out of town. That was why crossing bridges were less risky, but they were still a deathtrap.
EichDee slammed the fully-loaded 30 rounds magazine into her M4CQB assault rifle. The exiles had been generous, the Dodge was full of guns of all kinds; rifles, shotguns, handguns, sub machine guns, grenades, even an RPG for those desperate situations. Even though Dee could choose any of those and more when jacking in, she still fell the thrill and excitement in her.
She was sitting in the second truck along with Maria and two more exiles. The checkpoints before the bridge were in sight, and they started slowing down.
- Let's try to see if we can get through without having to shoot someone before making half the city blow up, suggested Dee. - I was about to say the same thing, crawler, hissed Little Maria.
EichDee ignored the remark and kept looking at the first car ahead of them. It eventually stopped at the checkpoint, and the driver began talking to the guard. The old man didn't look hard to convince, and he opened the gate after a few seconds. The 4x4 started moving again, and soon the three trucks had resumed their drive. Well this is going well...
As the Dodge she was in past in front of the checkpoint post, she noticed the old guard was gone. An Agent was now standing in his position, pulling out his FM-1500 from his shoulder holster.
- Oh shit! jumped the exile behind her. - Agent! confirmed Dee. That was quick! - To all vehicules, said Maria to her talkie-walkie. You are weapons free. Sparks, let's blow up some gear-heads!
The three vehicules stepped on the gas, quickly reaching the 65mph mark. The Agent had the time to put a few rounds into the last two cars, but the armored chassis was holding all right. A few seconds on the bridge and already they could hear sirens behind them. Three squad cars had already caught up to them.
- Man those cops are fast! screamed Dee, looking out from the window. - We have other problems, crawler! warned Maria. First car warned me we have machine operatives coming at us from the other end of the bridge! - How can they be so fast?! - Told ya it was a stupid idea! I should have stayed at the Lynch Pin and told you to F off! - Nice! grinned Dee. Always nice to know you've got people watching your back!
EichDee opened the top window of the truck, and got outside to her hips. The two exiles got out from the windows, sitting on the doors, their guns ready to spray death. The 4x4 on the back and on the front had done the same.
She could see the headlights of the cars coming, and the three squad cars behind her. With a smile on her face, EichDee gave a hard pull on the charging handle, cocking the gun.
- Rock and Roll!

Karaa was still holding her cell to her ear. Both her and Ocelet silent. Sentinels... The pain returned as Karaa started breathing again. It flashed behind her eyes and squeezed her lungs. "How much time?" "Not long, they know where we are but they can't see us, not yet. Thank god EichDee fixed that cloaking system." Karaa took an unsteady breath. "Status of the crew?" She was surprised the Ocelet could even understand what she was saying. "Ceege and Angelis have stabilized. Though by looking at Angelis brain waves, he is unconscious. Radomir is fine as well." When Ocelet didn't continue, Karaa asked, "EichDee and Valaro?" "Dee's fine, she’s still on the bridge. Valaro...his heart rate is similar to yours." "What does that mean?" "I don't know but you’re both experiencing the same type of trauma. Valaro's is of a lesser intensity, more localized is my guess. While yours ...." Ocelet trailed off. "Is everywhere." Karaa finished for her. "Karaa, you need to jack out now, or ...this...your heart...your body won't hold up against this." Karaa concentrated on breathing, inhale, exhale. "What about Valaro, will this kill him too?" "I don't believe so; there are key differences in your stats. His is more...I'm not sure how to explain." Ocelet paused for a second before continuing, "Your whole system is starting to crash...his isn't." Karaa pushed herself up using the alley wall for support. Her legs felt like Jell-O. "Keep me updated Ocelet; I'm going to the church." "Karaa didn’t you hear me? You need to jack out now." "I have to get them out, Ocelet. We both know there are no other options." Ocelet sighed. "How long till they find us?" "15 minutes max." "Then I’ll see you soon." "Wait, Karaa..." "Yeah?" "Times like these that I’m glad you transferred to the tiger." "Don't worry, Ocelet, you will see us all soon." And with that, karaa slide her phone closed and put it in her pocket. The tiger...she’s always questioned her decision to transfer. Karaa thought that with time that nagging feeling would go away but it never did. She smirked as she backed off the wall. Maybe it was a sense of self preservation that kept her doubting.

"Ocelot?" came the familiar voice of Radomir through the headset. "Radomir? is that you?" Ocelot looked frantically through the code for the familiar signal after focusing on all the attention Dee was bringing on her and her convoy. "I need an update on Ang and Karaa I'm with Ceege and we're wanting to get into the fight!" "Well maybe you should get in touch with Dee first..." Radomir suddenly interrupted "What Dee is in the Matrix what the hell is going on I feel like I'm running blind!!" Radomir began pacing nervously at the news. "Look she needs your help she has agents and police on her tail she is going to need all the help she can get." "Don't worry Ocelot I let Ang down I'm not gonna let Dee down where can I find her?" Radomir looked at Ceege and gave him the sign to move they had seen two brand new Honda CBR600rr's out the front which looked like the perfect way to get around fast. "That's easy follow every cop in town......and pray for a mirac" Radomir hung up his cell placed it in his leather jacket and moved to the bikes. As they hit the road Radomir was determined nothing would stop him from helping his ship mates. ((Wow first RP....don't judge me ))

The spray of bullets penetrated the Chevelle's fuel reservoir, causing a spark that sent the car burning up in flames. In one tight turn, the three armored trucks dodge the flaming carcass of the sports car. Another mech operative down! grinned EichDee to herself. The small convoy was now surrounded by machine vehicles. Some of the Sparks were shot down and fell from the Dodge. The first 4x4 in the convoy was hit by one of the enemy trucks, which sent the Dodge off balance for a second. It was just enough to make it crash into a lamp post, the driver apparently killed on the spot. - We'll never make it at this rate! declared Dee, starting to lose her optimism. She unloaded another wave of rounds into the squad car on their right, which hit the driver, sending the car off course. She quickly reloaded, and took aim at another machinist car, in time to see that the enemy operative had taken her target. She ducked just in time to dodge the gust of bullets that hit the armored 4x4. Cursing, she took out the RPG, and opened the back left window. The opponent never had the time to see the rocket hit his car, turning it into a big ball of flaming metal. Maria took a quick turn on the right, trying not to get rammed by the big truck that had taken out the first car. - Why the hell didn't you shoot at that guy instead, crawler?! - I didn't think he was still there! - How can you miss a Hummer?! The Hummer slammed the Dodge, and positionned itself right next to it. Dee could see the operative on the passenger side sticking his uzi out of the window, straight that Maria's head. Not loosing a second, she came out from the left back window and grabbed the gear-head's arm, who missed his shot completely. Using a reverse strike, she sent his weapon flying. Dee jumped out of the window and landed on the Hummer, much to the surprise of both Maria and the machine operatives. She crawled to the front of the vehicle, and landed on the hood, where she could see her opponents freak out through the windshield. Taking out her westek, she shot twice. TSIK! TSIK! She jumped back on the black Dodge before the H2 went off course, hitting a civilian car going the opposite way. As she looked at her surroundings, she saw that the two remaining black 4x4s were the only ones left. The other car had probably taken care of the rest. But another one was coming from the rear at an alarming rate. - Oh, crap, cursed EichDee when she saw which car it was. A black Audi sedan, the car Agents used the most. In less than a few seconds, it had caught up to the last exile truck, and she heard the sound of an FM-1500. The driver of the last Dodge was killed, and the truck slowed down, letting the Audi free to catch up with the last one remaining. - We've got Agents on our asses! warned Dee. - I know, hang on! The black armored car had a sudden boost of speed; not having to wait for the last vehicle probably meant Maria wasn't shy to step on the gas anymore. The Audi was still catching up though. Still through the roof window of the Dodge, EichDee took her handgun again and shot five times at the tinted windshield of the Audi, right where the driver was. The window cracked, but no signs of bullet holes. - It's bullet-proof, of course! She got back in the car and looked behind the rear bench. She could hear bullet impacts on the vehicle's chassis. Cursing, she finally found what she was looking for; A Benelli M3 pump-action shotgun. Getting back out again, she took aim once more at the cracks on the windshield. She shot thrice. The third blast blew open a large hole in the window, apparently killing the driver. But as the car was loosing pace, an Agent got out of the passenger side, onto the roof of the Audi, and jumped. - You're shitting me!!! cursed Dee and Maria in one voice. The Agent landed right in front of Dee, who was caught by surprise, bending the chassis of the vehicle when he landed. He sent a quick kick to her face, making her fall back into the car, stunned. Amidst Maria's curses, she could see the roof being teared apart. The Agent had ripped it off from the car, and had now taken his handgun, pointing at the young, stunned operative. Maria, uzi in hand, unloaded at the Agent beside her. Hit several times, he fell from the car onto the street, rolling like a ball until he could not be seen anymore. As EichDee was getting up to thank the exile, her eyes went wide. - Watch out!! she screamed. Having lost focus on the driving, Maria had left the Dodge heading straight into a wall. The crash was immense, sending Dee flying into the dash of the car along with Maria, who both lost consciousness on the second. * * * As she opened her eyes, she could see the carcass of the 4x4 crashed into one of the bridge's pillar walls. How it didn't blew up, she didn't know. She was laying on the ground several meters away from the car. Maria was by her side, her face covered in blood. She was still breathing though. How... did we get here?That's when she noticed the figure above them. The man, who was holding a rifle, had a serious look on his face. His long white jacket was dancing in the soft wind, and he was gazing afar. He turned his head towards Dee, noticing she woke up. It didn't take long for her to remember who it was. - Pylat! she managed to say. - Don't talk too much, you probably have a concussion. Pylat was one of her oldest friends, back in the days she was first freed from the Matrix. He always talked in a professional and serious tone, but she knew him all to well; beneath the appearance of the almost stoic second best member of Pride, Pylat always cared for his subordinates and friends, going to great lengths to help them. In a weird, ironic way, EichDee wasn't surprised to see him standing there. - The Agents will catch up soon, said her old friend, keeping his serious tone. - Yeah, caughed Dee, trying to get up. We're in real trouble now... - That's not all. We have exiles coming from downtown. She felt a chill passing through her spine. She didn't need to hear the rest to know what he was about to say. - Valaro is among them, they said together.

Tyre marks, bullet casings a corpse of what was no doubt either a police officer or someone in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was about a 1/4 of the way up the bridge and still had a little bit to go!
"Help me I'm stuck this car rammed me, there was a woman in a black 4x4 she was mad or maybe one of those gang members she was shooting at this guy is he ok??." Radomir saw this helpless bluepill and wondered just what the hell was going on what should have been a simple mission in and out quicker then the time for a pizza had turned to jelly.
"Are you ok sir?" His voice sounding calmer then he was feeling inside. "I think my legs broken, how about the guy that hit me I think he was shot." "He's doing fine." Radomir lied, as a former Army medic and marksman he knew that sometimes telling someone what they wanted to hear could save their life.
He checked the corpse in the Hummer for a pulse. "Still warm" He muttered to himself he was glad that the dead guy was warm meant they weren't far behind Dee.
"Ceege go on they might need you." Radomir yelled as he pointed further up the road.
Radomir heard the noises of Emergency Vechiles come speeding behind him, he turned around to see an ambulance, as well as a speeding black Audi. Agents!
Radomir felt the sinking feeling in his stomach, as he had when Ang told him to go. Radomir jumped on his motorcycle, fish tailing wide as he raced ahead.
Meanwhile in the real the proximity alert sounded again.
Radomir rode as hard and fast as his bike would take him....

At the other end of the Bridge
Valaro stepped out of the vehicle and looked ahead of him. He saw a small shimmer of light on the bridge and as the wind was blowing towards him he sniffed, and could catch the faint smell of fire smoke... He glanced around at the Exiles.
"Go ahead, kill anyone you see! Thats an order!"
"Roger that!"
The 4 exiles grabbed there sub machines guns, pistols and anything else they could carry and started running at a quick pace towards the events at the centre of the bridge, Valaro took out his phone.
"There here. I have the kill code. Ill take care of the Tiger's Crew an continue as planned. Its only a matter of time before you have what you want."
Valaro then grabbed an NH2000 from the trunk of the car and began walking towards the beaten up crew.
A few minutes had passed before the exiles could be seen heading towards them. Pylat took his gun and turned to Eichdee.
"Ill hold off the machines coming from the South. You got the Exiles?"
"I can hande it dont worry. Aim true!"
Pylat took cover behind the burnt out 4x4, and fired a couple of burst shots. The machines seemed to stop, and wouldnt come any closer. Pylat knew this was going to be a little tougher than he thought, but why did they stop? He moved up to try and get a little closer to keep them off dee. The Exiles however were still coming at full speed, towards her, she fired her Westeks straight at them and took one down with a shot to the jugular vein, also snapping his neck on impact. 3 more! She cartwheeled through the air firing as she went... She got another in the shoulder but it wasnt enough to stop him, he kept running at full pace. They were now right in front of her, two feet away pointing weapons at her. She lay on the ground, guns empty and out of breath...
"....You boys wanna kill me? Then show me your honour!" She stood up dropping her guns at her side. She cracked her kunkles then took a defensive stance, One Exile smirked then lifted his gun, finger on his trigger ready to kill her. BANG! Blood spurting everywhere over his Exile friends and onto the pavement below, he fell dead. Pylat had launched at bullet right at him for 30 metres away, and qucikly turned a 180 degrees to continue holding back the Machines. The other two Exiles threw there weapons down and took there agreesive guerilla stances towards Eichdee.
Eichdee, dropped lower and brought out her right leg as far as it could go then launched up into the air, falling straight at the two surprised Exiles they both moved to jump back, but Eichdee landed grabbing the Exiles head and twisting just enough to break his neck kicking the other in the mid section, causing him to move back. This didnt take him off guard for long though as he answered Dee with a right hook to the cheek. The two exhanged blows, and continuously blocked small attacks, Eichdee managed to take the Exile off balance with a flying kick, and then took the exile off his feet with a sweep delivering a massive blow to the head, causing his central nervous system to shutdown! She had done it, she managed to head off he Exiles. She got up and turned to shout to Pylat, BAM! Eichdee was landed with one punch. She was dazed, and almost out for the count.... It was a punch she had felt before and knew all to well, she glanced back up squinting to see clearly. A shadow was looming over her.
"It's not time yet!" Said the figure.
A man clad in a purple trench coat, with black void shades carrying an NH2000. Valaro!
Pylat looked back quickly to see, dee on the ground with Valaro standing over her, he aimed his rifle towards Valaro, time slowed down, and Valaro drew his revolver twsiting around and firing at Pylat. The bullet rippling the very air it was travelling through was moving so fast! Pylat dropping backwards JUST managing to dodge the bullet. Time reverted back to normal Pylat surprised he was able to dodge the bullet, quickly looked back at Valaro, not anticapating the second bullet which hit him straight in the chest! Pylat pushed back by the force of the bullet entering him fell onto the car. Unable to find the power to get back up and answer Valaros strike!
Valaro lifted his arms towards the now closer Machines, signaling them to remain, and not come any closer. He looked at Eichdee.
"You couldnt stay out could you? You had to get involved to save your beloved Crew mates...."

Karaa landed on a roof near Mara church when she stumbled and fell to her knees. Whats happening to me? She asked herself. Karaa tried to stand up again but the pain shot through her left side, she was on her knee again. She took a deep breath and pushed herself up; I have to get to that church! Karaa moved to the edge of the roof, almost there she smiled. Just then Karaa’s phone went off. She reached into her pocket and put the cell to her ear. “Karaa.” She said weakly. “Karaa, its Ocelet. I got a call from radomir…” Ocelets voice trialed off but Karaa could hear the smile in her voice. “That’s great.” Wait a second she thought. He called ocelet? Then …maybe the pill didn’t work, maybe it was just timing? If the pill didn’t work…then what the hell was wrong with her? “Dee is on the bridge, Pylat is with her, Rad and Ceege are 5 min away.” “So their not in the church…” Karaa asked disappointed. “No, Kar. Get to the nearest hardline and Jackout.” Karaa sighed. “I don’t think it’s the pill, the jamming must have stopped. And if the pill didn’t work, then…whats happening to me? Why is my system crashing?” There was silence for a moment before Ocelet responded. “I don’t know Karaa.” Karaa closed her eyes and breathed deeply. "Valaro?" asked Karaa. "Its not looking good, hes on the bridge now as well and ...the code...hes fighting Dee and Pylat." "What?" Karaa yelled into the receiver. She imediately regretted it, her vision blurred and pain shot up her neck. "Karaa I have no idea whats going on but you wont make it to westview and i need you here." Ocelet's Voice sounded desperate. Karaa sighed. She realized that Ocelet might be right. “Whats the status on the sentinels?” “They’re getting closer, we don’t have much time.” “And everyone is still jacked in…” Karaa mused. “Kar, I need you here." This time Ocelet stressed the words, as if Karaa wasn't getting the bigger picture. "I don’t think the others will get out before they find the ship, I need help.” Karaa was silent for a moment, trying to decide her next course of action. “I’m on my way Ocelet.” “Thanks Karaa.” Ocelet sounded relieved as Karaa slide her phone shut and let it fall into her pocket. She looked in the direction of the nearest hardline. Karaa took one step toward the setting sun as pain shot through her. She grimaced and continued to the other side of the building. The hardline wasn’t far, but it wasn’t close either. Karaa kneeled and laid her head down on the cold surface of the ledge. Just a minute, she told herself. “I only need a minute.” She whispered.

"Ceege go on they might need you".
Ceege pulled down hard on the accelerator of the bike which shot to life, they couldn't be more than 30 seconds away, he loosed his tie and pulled it over his head, watching as he let it fly back in the windy rain. He caught a glimpse of Radomir's bike leaning onto it's back tire as he darted after him.
He tried to piece things together in his jumbled head. "Valaro couldn't be a traitor" Ceege thought out loud, "this had to be part of a plan to get me out of the trouble that was escalating fast. Yes. If the Machines thought I was dead, then no need to bother with me. But how long could the act go on before Valaro is or already has been caught out?" he stopped himself there, he couldn't think it....
That's when he saw it. SCREEECH! He slammed on his brake, sliding in the rain, as Rad shortly judded up next to him. Surrounded by the chaos of burning cars and exile and machine bodies was Valaro, purple trench flapping in the wind and rain. He had a rifle in his hand, and it was aimed right at the back of EichDee's head. Then Ceege's eyes flicked to another Zion operative he recognized. Pylat was lying on the cold puddled floor, seeming lifeless with blood flowing out his chest and running down the street. "It can't be..." Radomir whispered.
BEEEEP. Ceege and Radomir jumped as Ceege's phone rang. He dug into his soaked elite soldier trousers, and immediately opened and placed the phone to his ear. He couldn't speak still in shock. "Ceege...Ceege?" Karaa asked into the other end. The joy of hearing her voice safe snapped him out of his shock. "Karaa...I'm so glad to hear your voice, where are you? Are you safe?" "Well I won't be for long, I'm on the tiger, sentinels are coming. Look there's no time, it seems Valaro has turned to the Machine's and EichDee took command of the Tiger. We can see you all in the code on the bridge. We need to somehow take Valaro out without killing him and get him to a hardline to be jacked out, since it seems our emergency jackout systems are still down, unlike our communications which are back. Do whatever you need to Ceege and I'll explain the rest later".
Ceege slowly put the phone back in his pocket, Radomir's eyes on him. "What now?" he asked, looking back to the carnage ahead, praying Valaro wouldn't pull the trigger. "We save our friends, including Valaro, and find out just what the hell is going on here". Ceege replied, his hands gripped the accelerator again. BRRRRRRR. The bikes once again shot to life as Ceege and Radomir flew forwards.
They approached them in seconds, EichDee seeing them first. Ceege pulled out his FM and squeezed the trigger. BOOM.BOOM.BOOM. The sound echoed in his ears as he sent three bullets heading straight towards Valaro's rifle. It flew from his hands and slid along the wet road as Radomir learned his bike back and drove up the burning 4x4 and over Valaro's head landing right next to Dee's outstretched hand. He grabbed her and flung her on the back of his bike and she let out a cry as her body was still wrapped with pain from the crash she had moments ago. Rad swung the bike round facing Valaro as Ceege pulled his bike to a stop behind Valaro, glancing down to see Pylat's chest, though covered in blood, still moving.
"Valaro!" Ceege shouted, "you were my captain, like a brother. Pride is family!". He fought back a lump in his throat, the rain sliding down his shades, it might as well have been tears. "Please. Tell me why?"....

Valaro, shocked staring Ceege in the face with anger!
"You've ruined everything Ceege! You shouldn't have come here!"
Valaro took off his black void shades finding it difficult to see out of them as the rain had now become trenchal. His purple trench blew at an angle, as did his long purple dyed hair. His NH2000 had flown over behind Ceege during the attack, his hand at his sides he could feel his Revolver still inside his holster. Valaro being the faster Red-pill to ever draw a weapon out did even those from the old west in human mythology. He glanced over at Eichdee.
"She was the deal Ceege. The Merovingian and The Machines want her dead! Hand her over and you will be let live! Or I can take all of you"
Valaro realizing that he needed more time had to try and stall Ceege. Radmoir was standing over Pylat, inspecting his wounds. he knew he would live. He picked up his cell:
"Lion? Emergency Jackout procedure of Pylat immediately!"
Pylat's RSI began to flicker, switching between the physical view and Code that made it up at the central core, surrounding him was several Code file structures and Server commands that linked directly to the source at the Matrix, then he disappeared inside of a flash of green light. The EJP was complete. Radomirs cell rang.
"Go"
"We have no time if Valaro has defected then were not going to be able to stop him, and trust me he can do worse damage out here than he can in there! Ive managed to get the EJP working but as soon as you are all out we have to set off the EMP. And we have to take you out in order, I'm starting with you!"
Radomirs RSI began flickering in the same way that Pylat did just moments before, and suddenly disappeared! Ceege started to flicker in the same way, but Valaro took out his revolver and shot him in the arm, disrupting the process!
"Take out your phone and put it on speaker!"
Ceege wondering what the hell he was talking about did so reluctantly. Valaro took out a bullet that seemed to be made of code. But that wasn't possible everything had a physical structure in the matrix. There was only one thing he could think of.
"Is that a kill code?"
"Indeed. Will destroy the RSI of anything Jacked into the Matrix, all except people with CX1 Encryption or higher. And its meant for one person."
Valaro looked to-wards Eichdee. A bluepill that had crashed nearby was coming to. He stood up and dazed said
"Whats goin... AUGGGHHHHH"
An Agent morphed into his body overwriting his RSI. He took out his FM-1500 and pointed it to-wards Ceege.
"Stop. My deal was that no one gets harmed except by me!"
"Revenge. Yet another one of the many Human emotions, that are nothing more than an artificial delusion Mr Sanderson. But very well. Finish her and we will call off the Sentinel's allowing you to leave unharmed and come to 01."
Valaro inserted the bullet into his revolver, just like a plain one. He looked at Ceege. Ceege stood up and covered Eichdee as a human shield,
"I wont let you Valaro. Kill me instead."
"I don't want you, nor do they Ceege. Here!"
Valaro threw a code fragment at him. When Ceege put his hand out to grab the item it disappeared in his hand. He felt his RSI Jacking out through EJP but it felt different. Ceege's RSI Disappeared. There was now nothing between him and Eichdee. Ceege's phone sat on the ground still on loud speaker, with an active line to the HvCFT Tiger.
"Eichdee were Jacking you out!"Came Ocelets voice.
Valaro pointed his Revolver straight as Eichdees head. Agent Norris came and stood beside Valaro waiting in anticipation for Eichdee Captain of The HvCFT Tiger's last moment inside the Matrix!
"I'm sorry. This is how its meant to be. Your are to be deleted! Never able to return to the Matrix! Goodbye!"
Valro pulled back the hammer on his gun. Time slowed down! Valaro spun around and pointed the gun right at Norris! Pulling the trigger! Time reverted back! Norris shocked stepped back! Looking at Valaro and taking aim! he went to shoot, but screamed in agony!
"0136431- System Command Delete!"
Norris's RSI, began falling apart in code segments, the bullet wound inside his chest started rotting the code as he disappeared piece by piece! Eichdee disappeared! Valaro looked up at the sky! Eichdee awoke outside The Matrix in the real and shouted:
"EJP VALARO NOW!"
Valaro dropped to his knees inside The Matrix. "Its done" he whispered. As his RSI disappeared inside the same flash of green as all of his Zionite friends has before him through the EJP.....
Back in the real all Zionites had been awakened including Angelis. Ocelet fired the EMP taking out all attacking Sentinels! They were safe once more!
Valaro opened his eyes. His crew standing around him...

Karaa Stumbled into the phone, her vision narrowing, she was blacking out. Her hand reached for the phone knocking it off the hook, in hung by her knees. Karaa was leaning heavily on the walls of the phone booth.
“Miss Johnson.”
Karaa was beyond tears at this point. Everything that could have gone wrong today did. She wasn’t surprised to hear agent Norris' voice, she knew the hardlines were being watched.
“Agent Norris.” Whispered Karaa. “Today is a good day indeed, Ms. Prevost will meet her end and you, Ms. Johnson are moments away from death.” Karaa looked down at the phone that was dangling in the air. She was so close. “Do you even want to know what is wrong with you, Ms. Johnson?” Karaa looked up to meet Norris eyes. “I’m listening.” She rasped. “It’s a new code we have been working on. It attacks your system directly, though it is very hard to initiate.” He seemed to think this over before returning his attention to Karaa. “Ms. Prevost, will be dealt with soon and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to end your existence as well.” He raised his FM and pointed it at Karaa. “You have been…an annoyance.” Karaa’s fingers stretch towards the phone. She would have to be fast, if it was anyone else but her…they wouldn’t make but she could, she had the speed. “I could say the same for you.” Karaa voice was low but the ire was there. Agent Norris squeezed the trigger. Karaa, with a flash of movement, reach for the phone, the round went off…breaking the class of the phone booth behind her. “Ms. Johnson!” Her body shook with the pain of the movement, her vision was gone, and the receiver was at her ear.
---------------------------------------------------------------- “Karaa!!!” Ocelet was there behind her taking out the jack. “That was too close, Karaa. Too damn close.” Karaa moved into a sitting position and looked at Ocelet. “We’ll you know me, last minute and all.” They both smiled at the statement. Alarms started to blare damning attention. Ocelet ran over to the computer and started typing. Karaa tried to follow the movement but she stumbled off the chair and had to use the arm to balance herself. Karaa made her way over to the computer and grabbed the headset and push a few keys on the keyboard. “Ceege…Ceege?” “Karaa…I’m so glad to hear your voice. Where are you? Are you safe?” Ceege sounded relieved and Karaa couldn’t help but smile. "Well I won't be for long, I'm on the tiger, and sentinels are coming. Look there's no time, it seems Valaro has turned to the Machine's and EichDee took command of the Tiger. We can see you all in the code on the bridge. We need to somehow take Valaro out without killing him and get him to a hardline to be jacked out, since it seems our emergency jackout systems are still down, unlike our communications which are back. Do whatever you need to Ceege and I'll explain the rest later". She disconnected the line. “Do you know whats going on with Valaro?” asked Ocelet. “Valaro wouldn’t betray Zion. There is a reason for his actions, that’s why we have to get him on this ship.” “How can you be so sure, he shot at Plyat and-“ Karaa cut her off. “Danny believed in him. That’s enough for me.” Her voice held no room for argument. Ocelet looked at karaa for a moment; this was the first time she spoke of him, before Ocelet could think more on it, she was brought back to the now.
“INCOMING!”
The ship shook with the impact. Karaa looked up, out of time she thought.
“Radomir is out!” Shouted Ocelet.
