//------------------------------// // Chapter 11 // Story: The Maretrix OC // by Violet Runner //------------------------------// Violet and Hawkeye were loaded into the construct program, wearing brown boots and trench coats and dark sunglasses. Violet got out his cell phone to talk to Mixer. “'kay…so what do you need…?...Besides a miracle…” Mixer asked, as Violet thinks about it. “Guns...lots of them.” Violet said as, hundreds of rows of assorted rifles appear, whooshing by him and Hawkeye as they stand in the centre. “The AK-47, the best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes.” He said picking one up. “Violet, no one has ever done anything like this.” Hawkeye said as she started to put an assortment of different guns into a large duffel bag as Violet turned to look at her, holding the assault rifle. “That's why it's going to work.” The brown haired man said loading the rifle. Agent Smith was back at the window of the office for the 50th time, staring out into the world. “Why isn't the serum working?” Smith asked looking at one of the other Agents in the room. “Perhaps we're asking the wrong questions...” The Agent said looking at Crescent who was currently leaning forward in the chair hanging his head. “Leave me with him!” Agent Smith said to the other two Agents in the room, who look at each other surprised. “Now!” He said as they hurriedly left. Back on the Lunar Dream Mixer was using his magic to mop Crescent’s forehead with a damp cloth and doing everything he could to keep him alive. “Hold on, Morpheus...They're coming for you. They're coming.” Mixer said looking over at the monitor. Agent Smith had removed his ear piece and grabbed Crescent's head with his hands and was staring into his eyes. “Can you hear me, Crescent Sliver? I'm going to be honest with you...I hate this place, this...zoo, this...prison, this...reality…whatever you want to call it. I can't stand it any longer... It's the smell. If there is such a thing in this world... I feel...saturated by it. I can...taste, your stink. And every time I do, I feel I have somehow been...infected by it, it's repulsive. I must get out of here. I must get free...and in this mind...is the key.” Agent Smith ranted tapping Crescent's head. “My key...once New Canterlot is destroyed there is no need for me to be here, don't you understand? I need the codes…I have to get, inside Canterlot, and you have to tell me how. You are going to tell me, or...you are going to die...” Meanwhile Violet and Hawkeye have walked into the lobby of the building, both of them carrying large duffle bags. Violet walked over to the man beside the metal detector. He put his bag through, then walked through himself as an alarm went off. “Please remove any metallic items you are carrying, keys, loose change...” The Guard said trailing off when Violet opened his trench coat, showing his clothes were lined with guns. “Holy Shit!!!” Violet and Hawkeye pull out a couple of their guns, and killed everyone in the room, but the last guard managed to send for backup before Hawkeye shot him. They moved into the main lobby of the building, dropping their empty guns and pulling out new ones. As they walk towards the elevator, a whole bunch of guards ran in, aiming their rifles at them. “Freeze!!” One of the Guards shouted. Violet and Hawkeye look at each other, then dart to opposite ends of the room, and within the space of 5 minutes, manage to wipe out every man in the room. They continue to walk to the elevator, without a word, pressed the button, and got in, leaving the main lobby literally in pieces, as pieces of the wall started to fall down. The two other Agents walked back into the office where Agent Smith was 'questioning' Crescent. “What were you doing?! One other Agents asked looking at Smith. “He doesn't know...” The other one said noting Smiths ear peace was out. “Know what?” Agent Smith asked plugging his earpiece back in, and looks at the other two Agents. “I think they're trying to save you...” The first Agent said looking at Crescent who was barely aware of his situation.
