Author's Note: This is my first Matrix fic, so if anything is wrong just email me at Kobra1721@aol.com and tell me, or put in a review. I know the characters are a little OOC (out of character), or maybe a lot but I have a hard time grasping Neo and Trinity's and Morpheus's personalities. Thanks, and begin reading!

"Tank, check this out." Trinity said awed.

"What?" Tank asked, half absorbed in a manual of some sort.

"No really Tank, look."

Neo glanced over and his eyes widened. "Yeah, get over here, and bring Morpheus."

"Already here." Morpheus said glancing over Neo's shoulder. His voice held surprise as well. A new person on the Neb, named Sagittarius, watched as well.

Tank grunted, put down his manual and looked over. "Holy shit…..new signs…something new is in the Matrix. Something that hasn't been there before……"



***The Story***

Chapter 1: Rachel

Rachel quickly scanned over her conversation with another hacker, his name Neo. He claimed to live a couple of houses away, bust she had already checked. Little did she know that that was his old house. She had found a lot of information on this Neo, a lot of people called him 'The One'. Rachel Cuatare, the teenager that she was, didn't know what that was, but it sounded cool. However, Neo was serving a much more important part on her side: he was going to meet her with a man she'd been dying to meet when she first starting hacking, when she was nine, a man who could tell her the answer to a question she'd accidentally stumbled up on. First the ever so popular question: What was the Matrix? She wondered, yet never really knew. Only thing she knew was that it was run by computers or machines. And now, the ever important person: Morpheus.

From what she had heard, hacked, and knew, Morpheus was tall, a little lean, and black with, as she had chuckled at somewhere, with very reflective clip-on sunglasses. She glanced at the clock. 6:30. Time to de- hack. She grabbed her disk with all the cool hacking codes and stuff on it, and dropped it on her desk, making sure to hide it under her pencil case, as always.

"RACHEL CUATARAE! IN THE KITCHEN!!"

"COMING MOM!"

Rachel grabbed her book bag and jumped downstairs. There, her mom was making pancakes.

"You're lucky I was up, cause I'm making you pancakes."

"Ahh geez, thanks mom. Love you."

"You too, Rach. Now get to school."

Rachel sighed and wolfed down her pancakes. She grabbed her homework, which she'd do in homeroom, and walked out the door, to get on the school bus. She noticed the two strange guys staring at her while she boarded the bus to hell. She shuddered at their pressed suits and sunglasses. Just the aura they had gave her the chills.

The bus ride was peaceful, but Rachel didn't get the time to enjoy it as she slaved over her math homework. However, the pressed-suit guys watched her the entire time, and this she knew. When she got off, there they were.

"Come with us, Miss Cuatare." The one on the left said. She named them Boo and Hiss. (BOO!! HISS!! AGENTS!!!!)

"Why?" She asked in total and complete bimbo-ism. (AN: sorry to the bimbos!)

"That is not your concern." Boo told her.

"If you're taking me somewhere, then it is my concern.

Hiss looked at Boo. "No, I'm afraid it's not your concern."

"Yes, it is."

"Miss Cuatare, if you continue to be this disagreeable we will have to use force."

Rachel rolled her eyes. "I'm not being disagreeable." She insisted. "I Just want to know something I should know."

Boo mumbled so only Hiss could hear him. "If this is what they believe that the new project should end up as, it's a complete failure."

Hiss nodded in agreement. "Miss Rachel Cuatare, if you would please cooperate with us."

"I'm not going until you tell me where you're taking me." Rachel continued to say.

Boo nodded to Hiss, who cracked his knuckles. Rachel backed away nervously.

"I told you we would use---" His words were cut short when a bullet pierced his head. Boo (the un-hit one) twisted his head around. At that second, Rachel ran inside the school, hoping to take cover.

Neo nodded to Trinity, and they jumped off the building they had been snipering Agents on. Now that Kobra was inside, the Agent would have hard time finding her….they hoped. The two of them ran inside the school.

"I think we the first ones who've ever FOLLOWED an agent." Trinity said to Neo. He smiled.

When Neo went to tell the secretary then needed to pick Kobra up, he was not surprised to see an Agent. Using his One power, he sent the guy slamming into the wall.

"Tank?" Trinity asked after flipping her phone.

"Operator."

"What room's Kobra in?"

"Take a left, then a right, and it's the last classroom on the left."

Trinity closed the phone, and when she turned, a bullet whizzed by her shoulder, and a sophomore crashed into her, sending both of them spiraling to the ground. The Agent rushed in.
