The Final Battle

Chapter 21

Hey I'm back sorry it took so long to update. I still love all of you! It's just that my life has been shot to the pits of Hell. (Excuse the language I'm sorry if anyone got offended) My horse just died from going crazy so yeah that was an adventure and a half. But I won't keep you much longer from chapter 21.

Chapter 21

Beck got up from Paige's embrace and started to wonder the room a bit.

"Please Beck be-" Paige's sentence was cut of when Tron opened the medical door.

"Beck. You're needed on the bridge." Tron turned swiftly and without a glance back walked out.

"Careful. I know I know you only tell me a billion times a cycle." Beck had a small smirk playing with his lips as he began to make his way to the door.

Muttering a single 'I will' before turning and following his mentor out the door. Paige busied herself with the straightening of the medical equipment when there was a quiet knock. Looking up Paige was embraced by a slightly taller female.

"Zara? Where have you been? I've been worried, well not just me but everyone else too." Paige stopped and waited for an answer but when she got a sobbing program in her arms she gave in and tightened the grip she had on Zara.

"Hush little one, hush." Was all paige could mutter to try and get the young program to calm down a least a little. Where'd you disappear to? Why did you come to me? Dang it Beck I really need you!

Not to much time had passed when Zara was able to find her voice again. The red head lowered her gaze and looked Paige in the eye out of complete fear.

"Please don't hate me. I'm sorry I ran, I just got so angry and Master isn't helping the case at all." She broke into tears all over again.

"Zara look at me." Paige brought a hand to Zara's face and lifted her head from it's position in the crook of her neck.

"Who's Master?" Paige's soft doe eye's were met with watery blue. Blue? Her eyes are blue now. Last time I saw her they were envy green. This is abnormal even for an ISO.

"M-master told me not to tell you. I'm sorry Nurse Paige." Sobs escaped from Zara's lips again.

"Zara if we're going to have a conversation then you have to stop sobbing after every sentence. But I know you're upset but I can't help you if I don't know what's wrong or who Master is." Paige picked Zara up bridal and put her on the bed.

"I'm sorry for-" She cleared her throat and tried again. "I'm sorry for being not able to help you but I've been sworn to secrecy and if I open my mouth about Master or his plan. He'll.....Derez me." The last part of her sentence was quieter and Paige had strained to listen but got it. Share info and your life comes to an end.

"Okay. I won't talk about Master then. Instead I'll ask why do your eyes change color? You know like from red to green and now blue." Paige rubbed the back of Zara's hand hoping she would give her an answer she could work with. "Please I've worked with your kind before and I know that the eye color changing isn't apart of being an ISO."

"Who did you run into?" Zara's voice was hoarse and raw.

"Quorra and another one of her friends." The answer came out bitterly and cold a little too cold for Zara not to notice the hate relationship.

"How long ago was this?" Zara took her hand out of Paige's grip.

"A very long line of cycles ago." Paige sighed out.

"The answer to your question is I don't know they've always done that ever since I was rezzed on to the Grid." Zara looked down her tear stained cheeks shimmering in the dim light.

"How bout you get some rest while I go after Beck and see if they need my help." Paige got up but was stopped by a single sentence 'please don't tell them I'm here' Paige turned slightly and noticed Zara was out like a light.

"I won't I promise on the name of Tron." Paige moved single strands of hair out of the way of Zara's forehead and gave a butterfly-like kiss then pulled the covers over her body. With a final turn she crept out of the room to an empty hallway.

...Beck's POV...

"Tron you requested me?" Beck was dressed in the white Tron outfit.

"Yes." His answer was almost a little high pitched even for himself.

"You feeling okay? Your voice and body are shaking a little." Beck walked closer and clasped a hand on his shoulder. Causing Tron to turn around and give Beck a dirty look. Tron's eyes were Crimson red and full of hate. What's is going on? Why is he acting so weird?

"Yes just fine." Suddenly Tron had his disk in hand and lunged at Beck.

"Tron! What are you doing? It's me Beck!" Nothing was getting through at the moment all

he could do was dodge his attacks until he found some kind of weakness.

"I'm illuminating a problem from the Grid!" Again and again the duo fought catching the attention of all the nearby programs.

Losing balance Beck fell to the floor with Tron on top of him, disk ready to wipe coding from the weaker program beneath him. Taking the swing to finish the beaten program is stopped when another disk interferes with the fight.

"Tron! Let Beck up! Don't ruin the revolution when it has a chance to start!" The disk went back to it's owner and when they stepped out Tron was distracted giving Beck a chance to fight back. As Tron looked over at Zed, Beck punched him on his left cheek causing him to lose balance and hit the floor. Not giving Tron time to recover, Beck crawled on top of him and held his arms above his head and taking his disk away from him.

With heavy breathing, Beck managed to get out "What is... wrong.... with you?" All Tron could do was lie there and have a pathetic smile on his face. Then brought his lips close to Beck's ear and whispered three single words that through Beck.

"Cyrus is coming." The older program then promptly started laughing. Laughing. Tron never laughs. Well not like this anyway. Beck looked up and found Paige looking horrified.

"Paige would you mind giving me a hand here?" As if snapping out of her trance she obeyed and did the honors of striking Tron in the face getting the laughter to stop.

"Help me take him to the medical room he needs attention." Paige lifted an eyebrow at Beck expecting him to follow her order. Then slipped her shoulder under Tron's arm with Beck doing the same.

Elijah: And that's a wrap! I apologize again for having such a late update but here's a parting question: Who do you think Master is? (No it's not Cyrus.)

Paige; You're so confusing Elijah.

Elijah: I know!

Beck: ANYWAY don't forget to comment

Mara: favorite

Zara: AND LIKE!!

Zed: Aww she stole mine.

Pavel: Pout some more would yea?
