Chapter II: Zion
As the team walked through LA in very tattered and burnt clothes, everyone was all questions.
"Where are we even going?" Ahi asked SK as they continued walking down the streets as he stayed silent as they stopped in front of a huge hotel with a bright neon sign which read: Zion.
"A good rule of thumb: the place we are about to enter may seem a little weird but like 90% of the people in here are assassins and the other 10% robots." Kyle said as the team entered the door.
"That's great. Just great." Sam said quietly but Espie heard her.
"It's okay Sam. This isn't our home forever."
As the team entered they saw a receptionist sitting at her desk with a Japanese sword sitting behind her. She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt that showed her tattoos on her arms.
"Welcome to Zion. If you are here to stay in one of our luxury rooms then let me know. If you here to collect a debt, let me know. If you are here to collect a mission, let me know."
"We need a room." Espie said to the receptionist who stared blankly at her then started to talk again.
"Welcome to Zion. If you are here to stay in one of our luxury rooms then let me know. If you here to collect a debt, let me know. If you are here to collect a mission, let me know."
"You stupid machine!" Espie yelled at the receptionist as Kyle put a hand on her shoulder then started to talk.
"We are members of the Skeleton Gang. We would like a place to stay and are also good friends of Neo."
The receptionist smiled. "I must see proof of membership."
Kyle and SK sighed as they rolled up their sleeves to reveal their hexagrams on their arms. The receptionist saw them and smiled
"30 and 47. The Reaper and the Killer. What a pleasure to have you here staying with us. Your rooms are on the top floor. Neo will be waiting for you in the main area. Do have a nice stay."

"Back to more rooms." Ren said with a small laugh as she, Renee,Sam, Skylar, and Espie all were sharing a room.
"At least we have clothing and protection." Skylar said as she was looking through the closet on what to wear. "Argh they only have formal clothing and black clothing what the hell!" She yelled as Renee let out a laugh. Sam was laying on the bed thinking as Espie was changing in the bathroom.
"Espie do you think it was a good idea to let Darcy go? I mean she's one of us like family."
"Look i understand where you come from with all of this but she didn't agree with us so we had to leave it at that." Espie said opening the door. "How do i look?"
The whole room(besides Ren who was trying to meditate) looked amazed at Espie. She had cut her long brown curly hair to her neck area and was wearing a black top and grey jeans and a fedora.
"Look sharp guys we gotta meet this Neo soon."
***
Nico, SK, Kyle, Nate, and Alyssa where all in the same room together doing their own stuff. Nico was on his phone looking at memes, Nate and Alyssa were talking about what's going to happen, and SK and Kyle just relaxed in the chairs.
"Do you think we can trust Neo?" Nate said to Kyle as SK just snorted.
"Hell no you can trust him. But he trusts us so that's all that matters." SK laughed and Kyle nodded.
"信頼はあなたがだます2つの方法(trust is two ways you fool)." Alyssa laughed at SK who looked at Kyle who raised in eyebrow.
"うん。 私と彼(yup. Me and Him.)" SK responded back
Alyssa was shocked but laughed. "You know Japanese?"
"We're soldiers. We know everything." Kyle responded.
"Thats cool and all but how do you know this Neo anyways? Nico said scrolling through his phone.
"He used to be a member of SK's team until well.." Kyle started but SK but his hand up to stop him.
"We better get going." SK said cutting him off. As he got up there was a knock on the door as another android looking like the one from the receptionist area was there.
"Reaper and Killer: Neo is now ready to meet your team. Please come with me."
***
As the team walked through an area that seemed to be a zoo, they reached a set of two giants doors. The androids opened the doors to reveal a huge area with a ton of computers and different androids walking around the area. Erica shivered as one came and sniffed her.
"Austin.... and Kyle.... its been too long." A cold slow voice said. As the team looked up at who was talking both Austin and Kyle bowed.
"Neo." SK says with a smile as Neo walked down the stairs in front of them. Neo was a white haired man in a black robe and glasses. As he got to SK and Kyle he gave them a big hug.
"I've missed you guys! Living among androids and killers kinda gets old." He said with a odd laugh then motioned his head to the rest of the team. "And these are?"
"This is Espie. She and I are co-leaders of this team along with Samantha over there." SK said pointing at Sam as an android inspected her.
"Very interesting indeed." Neo said with a smile.
"Then we have Carter, Camilla, Renee, Skylar Nate, Alyssa, Nico, Ren, Erica, Ahimsa, Aiden, Nico, and Parker. Parker this is my friend who made the matrix codes." SK said.
Parker looked amazed at Neo who just laughed. "That was me in my prime. Now i just make androids and give mercs their bounties. Now what can i do for-"
"Neo you fucking bitch! I'm going to kill you!" A girl yelled as she pushed two androids out the way and stopped when she saw the team. "Oh you have guests."
Another person walked in with the girl and stopped when she saw the team.
"Delphi." Sam yelled starting to move over to her as Kyle stopped her from doing anything.
"We have manors here. The main rule of Zion is no business done on the grounds like the Continental." Kyle growled at Sam who was quiet.
"Korrina please tell me what's going on. Why are you so mad?"
Korrina, who was a short black haired girl with glasses who had a sniper on the back of her, pointed a finger at Delphi. "She ruins everything Neo! She's all like 'oooo look at how lucky i am' as she misses the target and hits a gas tank behind and blew up everyone in the building with collateral damage!"
"I don't see a problem mate." Delphi shrugged as Korrina flipped her off. Neo just sighed.
"I'll deal with you guys in a bit. Now Austin, what brings you here to me?"
"I need your help going after Batman." SK said.
"Hmm i might be able to help you with that one." Neo said as he sat back down with a smile.
