Matrix stopped walking after a little bit, putting his hands on his hips and taking a breath. He hated walking long distances so much he couldn't stand it. There had to be an easier way to get around. Omni had said something this Omnilium substance, and that anything he wanted could be his with it. Right now, some sort of transport sounded pretty good, so he closed his eyes and focused, thinking about a simple motorcycle. Although he somehow instinctively understood the summoning process with Omnilium, he still couldn't quite focus on the image of a motorcycle. He kept trying, but all that did was make him visualize his love, AndrAIa. He hated being separated from her, and that was why he had to get back. He knew how much she loved a good bike, so he instead visualized her riding the motorcycle, hoping that was a way to get around the mental block he seemed to be facing.
It took some time, so much that he nearly lost his patience and gave up, but after a little over fifteen minutes he knew the summoning process was over. He opened his eyes, annoyed by how long that had taken. What he saw, however, completely surprised him.
"AndrAIa!?" Matrix shouted in surprise.
AndrAIa stood there, obviously looking completely stunned by this new environment she was in. She looked immediately relieved at the sight of Matrix, however.
"Enzo!" AndrAIa immediately said, stepping in and putting her hand on his chest as he turned and looked out at the white nothingness. "What...what just happened? Where are we?"
"I don't know," Matrix told her, looking at her as he put a hand on her waist. "Some...thing, unlike anything I've ever seen before, brought me here. Told me this place was called the Omniverse and to look for Omnilium."
"Omni...what?" AndrAIa asked skeptically.
"I don't know, but from what I could tell, talking to a few people around here...we're not even in the Net anymore," Matrix continued.
"How is that possible?" AndrAIa looked surprised and completely dumbfounded by the mere thought of exiting the Net.
"I don't know, and I'm sorry. It's my fault you're here," Matrix continued, lowering his head a bit as he spoke.
"What are you talking about?" AndrAIa asked as Matrix let her go, and she stepped back.
"They told me that I'm a Prime, which means Omni summoned me," Matrix explained, looking slightly away as he talked. "But they said they were secondaries, which means a Prime summoned them. I must have summoned you here on accident when I was trying to form some transport."
AndrAIa shook her head. This was way too much to take in at once. In just a nano she had gone from sitting in Mainframe, doing some repairs on the Principle Office and waiting on Matrix to finish the Game he'd entered alone, and planning their night together...and now they were here in some white reality, outside the Net.
"Sorry, AndrAIa," Matrix continued. "I didn't mean to drag you into this with me. I was just trying to get out."
AndrAIa smiled and looked at Matrix. "I'd rather be in hell with you than paradise without you. I told you once, already, that Mainframe is your home, and my home is with you."
Matrix forced up a smile, though he did feel genuinely better. It was relieving that she was on board and alright, but he still hated that he'd dragged her into the unknown.
"It'll be just like the Games, only without Frisket," AndrAIa said with a smile and a wink.
"Yea. Yea, we won't bring him or anyone else unless it's necessary," Matrix said. "We've found our way back before, we'll do it again."
"So, where are we going, then?" AndrAIa asked, putting her hands on her hips and looking around.
"I was heading for that gate over there," Matrix said as he pointed in one direction. "According to the people I talked to, there's a whole new system through it."
AndrAIa squinted, barely able to make out the gate that took the shape of two palm trees leaning into each other.
"I tried summoning a motorcycle to move a little faster, but I couldn't stop thinking about being separated from you," Matrix explained.
"Then it sounds like I was coming here, regardless," AndrAIa laughed. "That's sweet, though. Really."
Matrix rolled his eyes. "Should I try again? It might take some time."
"It's not that far. Let's walk it, and see what's on the other side," AndrAIa decided, and began walking in that direction.
Matrix sighed. He couldn't stand walking, but if she was going to be moving around in those high heels, he couldn't really complain too much. He figured he'd had enough of a break anyway, so he jogged a bit to catch up with her, and the two of them walked side by side towards the nearest gate.
