Prologue

Beck walked through an alleyway in Argon City. He abruptly stopped when he reached the docks. This was where he was supposed to meet up with Tron.

His Renegade disguise glowed its usual brilliant white light. He shrugged. "Guess I'm a little early." He thought. This meet up thing might not matter. But he remembered how urgent Tron sounded. He said something about needing to speak with him about needing to make a decision that could change his future forever. "Okay, so it may be a little important."

He doubted there was anything terribly wrong. "Maybe Tesler is somehow behind whatever it is."

Beck's thoughts are interrupted when he heard someone approaching. He quickly flipped on his mask, just in case it wasn't Tron. But, of course, it was Tron, wearing his almost completly black suit that he wears for field operations, and he had his mask on. Beck let out a little sigh of relief, and started to walk up to greet him, but didn't take off his mask.

Then Tron suddenly held up his hand to stop him. "Look, we need to talk about something." He said.

Beck was a bit surprised and confused at how Tron was acting. "Okay."

Tron took a deep breath and figured out how to word what he'll say. "Beck, I need to temporarily leave Argon and head to Tron City to investigate."

Beck was shocked. "What?! No! This better not be about that whole getting revenge thing on Dyson and CLU."

Tron quickly shook his head. "No, no, nothing like that. It's just the fact that Dyson should have returned to CLU by now to tell him about me, you know, being alive. I'm a little surprised that he hadn't come to Argon yet."

Beck slowly nodded his head, trying to understand. "Yeah that's a little surprising too, but what if he's expecting you to come to him? It could all be a trap."

Tron shook his head. "No. Thinking that I'm still supposedly scarred, he would think I couldn't make the journey. Besides, I'm just investigating. I'm not going to cause any trouble. It'll be like I'm not there at all."

Beck slowly nodded his head, understanding what Tron will do. "So, what do I do on my part?"

Tron didn't hesitate to answer. "You will stay here in Argon and keep doing what you usually do. And for training, well, run the light cycle course outside. You need practice on jumping that gorge. Hand to hand combat training will have to wait."

Beck gasped. "What?! What do you mean I'm not coming? You could use the backup, and what will I do fighting the occupation on my own? With Able gone and all, I'll be on my own."

Tron once again shook his head. "No, you won't"

Beck looked at him. "What?"

Tron said. "You need to make a decision; this is what I originally wanted to talk to you about."

Beck said. "What are you talking about?"

Tron suggested. "You always have your friends."

This was the last thing Beck expected Tron to say.
