The gunslingers: the fall of the matrix: book 1

Undead

After three and a half hours of fighting and running and more fighting and running and fighting and more running we stop. On the 78th floor. Destroyed steels surround us I walk over to the elevator "next floor?" I ask "Quinn we've been doing this ALL day!" Acey sighs "we're super soldiers you can't be that tired" I try to seem awake when I say this but the fact I'm so tired doesn't help "we are quite close!" Bob says joyfully "what floor is this again?" I ask "78th" bob walks towards the elevator "I'm going with bob" I follow bob but Acey doesn't "no" she shakes her head "we must fix the matrix!" I cry "how!? Where not genius's!" She has a fare point "well I'm going!" Me and bob walk into the elevator "you sure?!" She doesn't answer "fine!" I cry angrily. We go to the next floor without her. The next floor is just a supply closet. We go floor 80. The next few rooms are just computer and or power generation rooms. Then the 100th floor button "This is hard!" I say "how?" Bob turns his head to the side "I'm scared...we don't have Acey" "so?" Bob asks "I'm scared I've lost my best friend, I already had to shoot Joey....I'm scared to push it right now" I sigh "ok I can!" Bob leans over a push's the button. There's a ding and we walk in. A giant computer screen with four sets of keyboards and buttons in-front of it behind the screen is a giant glass column, inside it is a floating red crystal made of 0s and 1s "the matrix grid" I say "it-it's/-it-:-//:itstiti-:::;///-:;WIFI?" Bob falls forward "the gLiTcH IS tO p/-:;-OweRfuLl i CaNT HELp" bobs eyes lose color. And he begins to go dark "ItS NOT SUppOsED to bE R-/-;:;//:::/;:ED!" With that bob powers down. Out of the shadows steps a steel, a steel that shows no sign of glitch's, a more modern design, a new steel? "A gunslinger?" What he says should sound like he's surprised but he sounds calm I shoot him but he catches the bullet "you are you!?" I jump up and put my gun barrel to his forehead the steel doesn't seem worried about the gun to his head "pull the trigger I dare you!" He growls, I put my finger on the trigger. No. That's what he wants me to do! "Who are you!" I growl "haha!" It chuckles. I didn't know steels could laugh "I am Maxwell graves"
