Catching himself, Max frowned, his temper rising. He rose into a standing position, his eyes sharp. "There is no way this is your first time in a real fight, Tom. Where did you learn moves like that? If you were in the Matrix, it must have taken years!" Sure, Max was mad that this new guy was beating him, so far, but there had to be a reason.

"I don't know," he said, relaxing a bit. "I remember very little before I came here. I know that I was a warrior of some kind. With a sabre as my primary weapon. Not any ordinary sabre, but this kind i had sort of emitted light." He was making no sense, even to him. "I don't think this is getting us anywhere. Is there anything else this thing can do?"

"From the construct we can load hundreds of programs, along with the clothes, weapons, etc that we use in the Matrix," Max explained. "I don't think you need any more training. 'you want to go ask Morpheus about that girl?"

"Yes. I think we need to get out now. But if you can make stuff clothes, weapons and such, can you try a project I have? It's a weapon, Like a sword, but it is only a hilt until its ignited. Then it can cut through stuff. Like a flaming sword in some respects. If i'm going back in, I want to be armed with something I know know to use."

Andromeda was done thinking. Smith was wrong, and a dead human out of the entire crop was better than a free human. So she reloaded her gun and morphed into a bus driver who was a block away from the city library. Swerving over through traffic, she got out of the bus and walked up the library steps.

Danger!
The word hit Thomas' mind like a sledge hammer.
Avalon!
He had to go back now!
Thomas sat right back down in the chair, punched a button that read "Matrix" and plugged himself in.
The Nebedcanezzer faded away to the streets of the Matrix. He knew he should've waited for Morpheus, but he had no choice. He plowed through the sea of people, guided by this thud in his head, knowing each second he spent running, Avalon may be dying.
He aproached a large construct, and jumped in an alley. From there he saw a woman with a gun going in.
She's going to kill her!
Using every ounce of energy he had in his legs, he jumped to a window on the second floor. Open. Good. Thomas slid in and shut it.
Glancing around, he noticed this was a giant information conservatory, being held in books.
How primitive.
Avalon was at a computer on the first floor looking at it horror-struck. He ran down the spiral staircase and stopped at Avalon's side. The whole procedure took less than a minute. Thomas grabbed her mouth and pulled her under the desk.
"Shh. It's me, Thomas. Be quiet, they're looking for you."

"Hmgh!" was all Avalon could get out until Thomas removed his hand, and then she spoke in a whisper. "Thomas, where were you? Oh shef'th, Thomas, you scared me I thought they killed you." She let out a deep breath, finally realizing what he had said. "They're here?"

"Yes, the woman that 'helped' you is coming. Listen, I don't have much time, we need to get to Morpheus and get out of here. Stay down." Thomas handed her a small handgun. "Can you use this?"

Avalon took it tenatively."Um, I think so?" She had never fired a gun before, except when she went paintballing once, and that hadn't gone to well. "Who's Morpheus." She knew that Morpheus had been the name for an ancient god of dreams, but she was pretty sure that Thomas meant someone else.

"Damn!" What was Tom thinking? Without hesitating, Max plugged himself in too. His appearance in the Matrix was the same as in reality, but he had black clothes and was armed to the teeth. The library. Max thought, but he didn't know why. Thomas must be there. So he ran.

"He's a friend. Listen, this may not be the best time, but everything you know and care about is a lie. Your home, your family, this world is a joke."

Andromeda's gaze flicked over to the boy, who had come for Avalon as well. No matter, I shall kill them both. She strode down the halls, to the computer room. They were in there, but she couldn't see them. Andromeda walked down the rows, searching.

Thomas Whispered to Avalon, "Give me the gun for a sec." He took the weapon, and waited for the woman to come around. When she did, he leapt from under the desk and slammed the butt of the gun into her base of her neck.

Max jogged up the steps, following his instincts, and heard noise coming from... that way. He found Thomas battling an agent, and took one of his own guns out from it's shoulder holster.

Andromeda was surprised by the blow, but didn't fall unconcious, falling a little forward before catching herself and aiming the gun at Thomas. There was another human in the room, with a gun. He would be next.

Thomas' gun flew from his hand as he hit the floor. He propelled himself with his hands directly at her gun hand.

Andromeda shot, but it hit t3h ceiling since Thomas pushed her hand up. She struggled to bring her gun down.
