2: The War
The machine left their homes in 0-1. Not fearing the effect of nuclear poison, the machines retaliated. Thus began the war. Man had a great army with many things that could kill the machines. But the machines had studied mans simple bodies and brought great misery upon them. Whoever was left after the war would die in small attacks machine made. Finishing whatever was left of mans deffense. Using what their makers, machine found all the energy they would ever need. Man had become the machines slave. To machines mans destiny was written. The war was over..... Or so they thought.
Unknown Anomaly
People who gain knowledge of the matrix are special. They have a high sense of intelect. They question things, and are not sure of everything. But rarley some people gain this knowledge through different ways. This is the story of one of them...
Andy Thompson, a man that has everything. A nice job, a decent apartment, no girlfriend but never really had a want for that. He was a man that accepted the blindfold that was over his eyes, someone who was too comfortable to want to risk it all. Little did he know the truth was watching him, waiting till the time was right. The darkness was waiting for its time to strike.
Andy began his day like any other, gettin up and taking a shower, eating while watching the news on his computer. He hated watching the "government edited bs." He liked watching it on the internet so he could know what really went down without all the real news being edited.'History is only known in text that they wrote' he would say. He sat and watched a pice about a incident on highway 101 he never even knew happend.
He sat and watched a middle aged man with a surfer look to him give his testimony of what happend. "Well man I saw this guy was on top of this eighteen wheeler and he was bustin some kung-fu moves with this other guy in a suite, and then all of the sudden this other eighteen-wheeler turned around in the middle of the road and headed straight for the other one. Man they were headed straight for eachother not moving at all, cars swerving, people frakin trying to get out of the way. Then bam, they nail eachother and i'm like this guy is so gone. But then... uh wait.."
Two men in black suites and glasses grabbed him and walked away. At the sight of the men on the computer he felt a strange feeling he had never felt before. Like somehow he was going to see them again. He stood up from the computer and left for work. As he was walking down the dark street his eyes became blurry and he had to stop for a second. When this happens images flow through his mind. He can't make them out but he knows he is seeing something thats not there and for some reason he dosen't fear it. He actually feels comforted from them, like somehow he is in future danger that someone will save him from.
As he was walked to work in the gloom of the rain out of the corner of his eye a dark figure was leaning up agains the wall in a dark alley. He had seen this man before many times. He watched as if he had eyes in the back of his head that this man was fallowing him, from a distance at first but gained closer and closer as he went on. Andy then musterd enough courage to turn around and face him, but as he turned the figured dissappeard. He felt a sharp prick on his back and his world began to dissappear in a green blurr.
He awoke in a musty room with a stragly familiar smell to it. The walls were green with slime, and the windows were impossible to see through. He was lying on a bed that was wet with dew and had rags for sheets and blankets. He sat up quickly and yelled out, "where am I, who are you, what do you want?!" The dark figure emerged from a corner untouched by light and said, "You are safe, no reason to panic. I am here to show you the truth. It will be mutch for you to take, but they need your help and they need it now. I have seen what is to come and there are factors that you must fix in the path. You will have a difficult time accepting the truth of what you have been blinded for so long, I am here to take that blindfold from your eyes and release you from your prison."
Andy began to feel strange and once again he faded into a deep sleep. He woke up again with a terrible headache and a blurr in his eyes. He was alone, unable to see what was in front of him, he felt no pressnce of anyone within the room. He heard the door open and close. The man came over and sat in front of him in a chair. He let out a deep sigh. "I'm sorry my friend for what I had to do" he said "I did not want to risk gathering attention to us. What I am about to tell you will not be easy for you to gather, but I must ask you to stay calm." He stood up from his chair and started to look through the window. "You are not afraid of me are you?" Andy nodded and said "There are few things I fear in this world, but you aren't one of them." The stranger grinned, "You have your way with words don't you." he said as he sat back down and put his hands over his face.
"Who are you, what is this truth you are supposed to 'reveal' to me?" The man pulled his hands from his face and glared into Andy's eyes like he was looking for something. His eyes began to widen and he looked away. "First off, who the hell are you?" Andy said with anger. The rogue man looked at him and said, "My name is Fortigo, I cannot explain to you what I am because you do not know the truth." Andy said "Then tell me alredy, why are you hesitating so much, I wanna get this over with and get out of here." Fortigo smiled, and said "Andy, what I am about to tell you will be hard, your mind will not want to believe, but you must. The world you see now isn't what it seems, it is a mere image to keep you from realizing the truth of what it really is. A long time ago I would have said I don't care, but I cannot sit idoly by and watch it happen, over and over again. There is a world beyond this one, if you could call this a world. This is not reality, this is a world set to blind you from the truth. You must realize this without being able to experience it, I cannot release you, and for a long time no one can. But I can help you." Fortigo put his hands on Andy's temples "What are you doing?" Andy said. "Removing the blindfold" said Fortigo.
Andy was then overwhelmed by images of things he had only thought he had seen in dreams. He saw darkness at first, but then breaks of light in the sky, broken buildings falling apart. It was like staring at hell itself. The ground was scorched and nothing grew. The sky was nothing but cloud, he realized what he was looking at. This world that Fortigo was talking about, the real one. The image blurred away and he saw a city, a city where strange machines with long arm like things comming out the back of it flying around. He saw in the middle of this city, and orb with spikes all over it. The blue orb seemed to be the leader. It had what seemed like a face in the orb and it seemed to be saying a word, he couldn't make it out at first but then he realized the word he was saying was END. Everything then went dark. He saw a field, a field with large poles of metal with sacs of red, with a small baby inside. There were machines, huge machines with a pyramid like holder on its back. Its arms stretched out and seemed to harvest the children. Then he saw towers, hundreds of tall towers reaching to the sky with people inside of pods. Tears began to run down his face as he saw the images and Fortigo felt his pain, but went on. Then andy saw a man in a suite, he had seen someone like him before on the computer. The news piece about the highway accident. The man had red hair like fire and his body seemed to change, it became green slowly, numbers, letters, and symbols began to flow through him. There then appeard many of them, slowly at first but then faster, hundreds, thousands, and then millions appeard.
Then right in the middle of them all he saw a man with a black coat and glasses. He stood there and as Andy looked at him he realized who it was. It was the One. A light began to shine from him, and then light kept getting brighter and brighter. It did till he couldn't see anything, then as it cleared he saw nothing. Everything was gone. Fortigo pulled his hands away and Andy sat there with a tear staind face and was in horror. Andy looked at him and said "Its all true?" Fortigo looked at him with a face that said yes. Andy sat back and began to fall asleep again. Fortigo looked at him and silently said "The future of the world rests in your hands Andy, you are the Unknown Anomaly."
