BlackVelvet - The Beginning

(This story is from the game I play The Matrix Online. Fanfiction for my character on the game, and the Faction she joined, The Royal Guard. Hope you all like.)     (Sorry for all the grammar and spelling errors.  I plan on re-editing this story in the near future.  I was re-reading this and was like "OH MY!"  lol!  -Ali 7-22-2011)

I tried to open my eyes but was unable to, the burning I felt made it impossible. Teary eyed as they were I laid where I was feeling the brilliance shine over me. The warmth from the brightness relaxed my whole being. I felt the whiteness from the source penetrate thru my eyelids. The pain my cornea felt was unbearable but I was trying to handle it as best as I could. I tried to force open my eyelids but felt the swelling of tears pouring out of the corners of my eyes sliding down my face. What had happen to my eyes, why did they hurt so much?

Echoing around me were voices softly verberating all around me, thru me, and inside me. As if more than one person was near me, my senses were heightened and I could smell the sweet aroma of flowers. "Was I dead?" I thought to myself. The voice continued to talk.

“Oui, she is perfect. Ma file précieuse; she is precious.” A male voice said proudly. “She will be my guerrier parfait.” He continued. I tried to speak but words could not form. What did he mean I would be his perfect warrior? I was confused, but at the same time in excruciating pain. The brightness kept getting brighter until my eyes just popped open. As warm salty water continued to roll down my face, everything was still blurry. I tried to make out the fuzzy figure that was in front of me. Once again I tried to talk, but no words formed. “Look at her, she is a beauty, and my petit fleur will make me proud.” The voice continued bragging.

Finally, after struggling with the blurriness my sight was returning to me. The first thing I saw was a rich blue crystal glass vase, in it were a bouquet of beautiful white calla lilies. It was just stunning. It was sitting in front of me on a beautiful circular coffee table. As I started to raise my eyes up from the vase a man sat across from me. He was finely dressed in a suit with a red silk scarf. His brown eyes were expressive. He had a slanted smile as he stared at me. “Good evening my little flower.” “Do I know you?” I said. “Indeed, I am your father.” He said in a most strange accent. I sat there bewildered. I could not remember this man, nor could I remember anything. I felt lost deep in some abyss. “Father…” I said softly and unsure. “What has happened to me?” I asked confused.

“My dear child, you have been in a deep sleep.” He said the words with amusement in his voice. “Sleep, how long…?” my voice trailed off trying to get some recollection of my coma. “A very long time my petit, a very long time. Thanks to me I have awoken you.” He smiled arrogantly.

I tried to get up from the area I was in. “Why can’t I move?” I said calmly like a child. “Well Pettit it’s because your body has been in a stasis state.” As I continued to observe the room I noticed that the room I was in had a high glass ceiling, made sense now where all that light and warmth was coming from. As I continued to move my head around… “Ah getting familiar with your surroundings. Pettit you have the spirit of a warrior in you; my douce BlackVelvet.” He smiled a most sexy smile.

A few hours later I was able to feel parts of my body regain feeling. I was finally able to sit up on the Chasis lounge chair I was in. Covered in a soft velvety blanket I sat up holding it firmly against my nude body.

“Well my sweet flower, it’s been fun watching you but I must get back to business. Your Mother will be in shortly to help you get dressed. We have a long day ahead, no more time for sleep; time to exercise those sleepy sweet limbs of yours.” He got up with such flare one could not notice that he was regal in his gestures. I couldn’t help notice that this man who was calling himself my father was also very handsome.

As he exited the room, I found myself alone in a very pretty room. It was extraordinary aristocratic in its décor. The marble floors, High glass ceiling, I felt like I was in a garden with all the beautiful flowers that were arranged around the room.

Suddenly the door opened up and this beautiful woman strolled in. I never saw an exquisite looking person as herself. She wore a skintight leather dress and very high heels. Her hair was straight and long, her facial features were smooth and young.

“Hello.” I said. “Hello my dear.” She responded. “Are you my mother?” “No I am not and he is not your father.” She said in a matter of factly type of tone. “What? Than who is he and who are you?” “My name does not matter, what matters is that I get you out of here. You are very pretty; I can see what he sees in you.” From behind her entered two men. “Here she is as I promised; now leave with her before he realizes what is happening.” She told the men.


I was still holding onto my blanket, with a little more energy in my self I was able to stand up. I was still a little wobbly in my step, but I was able to balance myself. Still clutching my blanket, the two men grabbed me on either side of my arms. “What the hell is happening here? Who are you two?” I was getting frustrated. “Shhh…we’ve come to rescue you; to tell you the truth of your existence in this world. We have to move fast.” I wasn’t sure what to believe at that moment, but something inside me felt like this was the right thing to do.

“Let me try to dress myself. Please turn around.” I looked at the two tall gentlemen in trench coats. “Oh of course", they both said. With that some clothing were stretched our for me. As they turned around I tried to dress myself. I was recovering quickly. “Ok I’m ready now.” They both turned around and smiled. They both motion to me to follow them. In the mean time the leather clad woman sat down watching us leave. “au revoir.” She said confidently. “Goodbye I said back.”

We continued to go down a long corridor, with many doors. “Who are you both?” I said. “We will tell all once we are safely out of here.” One of the tall handsome men said. We ran in and out of rooms, finally we were outside in the streets. “Quickly!” said the other. The tall light skin man opened up a phone and started to speak into it. While the dark skin guy was just running in and out of streets. They were both handsome looking and well dressed in their trench coats. I was in the middle of them keeping up, well at least trying to.

As we went thru every nook and cranny, dodging groups of people, someone side brushed me. I quickly lost my balance and fell to the ground. With out thought I bounced myself back up, flipping into a protective stance. The man tried to kick me, I grabbed his foot and twisted it, causing him to lose balance and flip over onto the ground.

With a swift kick to his ribs, as I still had his foot in my hand. I twisted his ankle some more almost breaking it, as I let his ankle go I was able to tighten my fist and give him a quick knock to his throat. I got into defensive mode again.

I stood there and quickly scanned my immediate area watching the two men who were with me, they stood there stunned. "What in the world...." the fair skin one said. "Umm...I don't know..." I said a little confused.

"She is a warrior." the other man said as he nodded his head. "My name is Eclipses, and this here is BlackKnight." Blackknight bowed, as Eclipses introduced him. Eclipse and Blackknight finished the guy off, causing him to lie on the ground with out any movement. They were good, they were very good.

They both started to move again. "Hurry...We must keep moving", Eclipses said. Once again we were in motion, with me in the middle. We finally arrived at this park, that had a phone booth in it. From out of no where this other man appeared. I stood there stunned, finding the whole situation to be unbelievable. "Hi guys, I see you got her." the figure said. He slowly approached me looking me over. "She's definitely not what I thought a warrior would look like." "Ok, enough already! Why am I here, who the hell are you, and why does everyone keep calling me a warror?" I was mad. All this running around and no answers. "Sorry, Hello, I am Red Knight. I am the leader of a well know faction named Royal Guard. You were awaken by The Merovingian."
****
I stood there soaking it all in. It was a lot to take in, but slowly but surely I was digesting the information. "I have a question, why is it that I can't remember who I am, I need to know?" They stood there staring at me. Suddenly Red Knight yelled, "We need to move, agents on their way."

Out of thin air, so it seemed, something was materializing. Eclipses grabbed my arm and dragged me. He said; " Move!!! Let’s go, let’s go!!!” Once again we were in motion, running from building to building. “You are not authorized in this Area.” I heard over and over behind us.

We went through a Chinese restaurant which was near by, I was still being dragged as I trailed behind. All I could think of at the moment was that I felt like I was in some type of asylum. What drugs was I on, and if I wasn’t dam, I need to find something to explain this madness.

As we ran thru the kitchen another apparition appeared in front of eclipses. He pushed me into Black Knight. “What the hell…..I feel like a bouncing ball.” Black Knight caught me and dragged me thru another door. There were stairs leading to the roof.

As we got to the top, he held my hand tightly. “We got to jump!” he said quickly. “Sorry BlackVelvet, no time to teach you how to jump.” He held tight onto my wrist. “WHAT?!?……OH MY G……” I screamed loudly as he jumped the roof with me trailing behind him. I flew thru mid air with my heart sticking out of my mouth. As he landed he caught me in his arms and put me down. “Let’s move!” I didn’t know how to react to what just happened. I finally took a breath, put my heart back into place and snapped myself quickly back to my senses. “What about Red and Eclipses?” “Don’t worry about them they’ll be fine. We just have to keep moving.”

As we continued to move we went down the stairs of the other building that we were on. Finally running down the flights of steps we got to the ground floor. A Car pulled up and once again I was pulled in this time by a woman. “Sela get her to the hovercraft. I’ll meet you there, just get her there safely.” He closed the door and ran off.

We sped off in this little car that looked like a roadster. So I thought It was… "dam why am I able to remember the type of car but not who I am." As I thought to myself. I began to observe Sela, she was very pretty. She was blonde with her hair up in a bun, the only thing holding her were a pair of chop sticks; which stuck out. She was wearing a brown denim outfit, and a short skirt. As she weaved in and out of traffic I noticed that her gloves didn’t have fingers. They were cut off to show her long manicured nails. She was indeed a very attractive woman.

She parked the car and told me to follow her. I got out as I silently and observantly followed her. We went into a ware house. “What I’m about to tell you is going to be unbelievable.” “You mean more so than what I’ve been thru. Bring it on, anything you say can’t be more fantastical than the chain of events today” She stood there and looked at me and smiled. “I can understand what you mean, but I have here is to offer you a choice.” “A choice on what exactly?” I was really confused. She pulled something out of her little back pack. Displayed in her hands were two pills. One blue the other Red. "No matter what we all have a choice Velvet. The blue one will make you forgot and the red one will let you see the reality of things.” “Reality of things? Geez I need a heavy dose of reality, because what I’ve seen today hasn’t been too real.”


I than proceeded to grab the red pill and swallowed it. “Glad you chose that one because you can’t turn back anyway.” “Huh?” I said confused. “You were pulled out of your pod.” “Pod? What the hell are you talking about?”

Suddenly things started to get fuzzy again and I went unconscious.

“Tell me who she is? Why is she so important?” a male voice said loudly. “Why doesn’t she have her memory?” A female voice chimed in. I was still feeling groggy from the pill I had taken earlier, I couldn’t move an inch. I felt that I was laying down somewhere soft and slowly my senses were coming back to me. Things were a little groggy, but I expect that would happen from an unknown pill. “See where this reality brings me,” I thought to myself.


“All that will be answered.” I recognized the voice as RedKnight. “Eclipses can you fill the crews in on our mystery guest?”

“My pleasure, the reason she has no memory is because the Merovingian’s altered it. In her blue pill life she was a Special Agent Operative for a secret underground agency. Code name Black Velvet. Her real name is Sarah MonCherie; she was born in the Blue pill world of France.” Eclipses paused a bit.

“Why was she important to Merovingian’s?” Another voice said.

“We’ll this is what were trying to figure out. We’re not sure why he took her out of her pod, and why he would need a super warrior like her. Black knight, do you have any other information that you would like to add to this briefing?” Eclipses said.

“Well I think she is not the only one they are taking out of their pods. From what we have found out there are others they are taking, why the special interest in her, we are still not sure. We know she is extremely proficient in the martial arts, and combat tactics, possible they are trying to build a super army.”

I was very happy to hear their voices. It meant to me that they had escaped those agents. Which was good, didn’t want any bodies on my conscious, but this information on myself was indeed interesting.

“Wow!" I thought to myself that was a lot for me to take in. I, too, was curious why they wanted me. I laid there letting the rest of the feeling in my body come back. I wanted to hear what else there was about me. I Still had no memory and this was one way I was hoping to jog that back.

“We need to get more information, we need to get our crews together and continue to go scouting why The Merovingian’s are interested in these people. Perhaps we can get some answers from Persephone, she helped us get Black Velvet.” Another male voice added.

“Ok, if were done this briefing is adjourned. Our mission is to get more information. We need this info fast and we have to get with the help of our fellow Zionists. Let’s try to use our connections with the other factions. We have allies in there so we can get as much intelligence as possible.” Red Knight mentioned.

I heard people moving around, shuffling along. I felt a strong hand grab my arm, tie something around it and **bleep** it. “She should be up by now; she’s been out for a full day.” The voice said. I began to open my eyes to see who it was. Slowly my vision came back and there he was, this strong looking man with blonde hair. “What was that u injected in me?” I said to him. “Well hello there. It was some shots to get your body immune to the elements here. You’ve been protected in a cocoon pod for almost part of your life.” He smiled a very handsome smile. I thought to myself, “geez it seems like all the people I’ve met are very good looking. This one seemed to peak my interest a little more so than the others.

“My name is Labraid. I’m usually an expert sharpshooter but our medic team had to be somewhere else.” He laughed. “Don’t worry I am also a doctor so I know what I’m doing.” He must have seen the scared expression on my face.

I pushed myself up from the bed. He came over to help me up. “Ahh…Thank you.” “You are quite welcome, it’s my job.” He smiled. What beautiful blue eyes he had. As he moved away slowly I noticed that out in front of me there was another person in the room. It was a tall, pretty blond woman. She was also quite attractive. She stood at the door just staring at me. “Hi” I said. She said, “Hello. How are you feeling today?”
“Well…considering I’ve been pulled out of some pod, and I have been running for my life, I say I’m doing pretty well, otherwise.” They both laughed. “This is DizzyBlonde, she is one of our specialist out in the MXO, and just coming in is Qiu.” Labraid pointed to both of them. “Hello I said.” “Hi they both said back.” “Labraid we have to get a crew together, we just found out the Mervingians are going to be steal something from the machinists. Were not sure yet what it is, but from our spies it’s something big. We need your skills as a fighter to help us. “Is she ready?” Qiu pointed to me. “Well she’s as ready as she is going to be.” Labraid said.
