Chapter 1:

"It's… over," Neo's coarse voice stated. Opening his eyes, he saw dark clouds hovering over him, threatening rain. He was lying comfortably on his back, surrounded by flowers. He wasn't sure where he was or how he was still alive and in the matrix, but it didn't matter. The war was finally over.

Closing his eyes again, he inhaled, filling his lungs with nature's air. He allowed his mind to wander trough all different theories and possibilities. What if the Oracle did something? What about Smith? Maybe I'm in heaven. If I'm in heaven, then where's…

"Trinity!" Neo shouted, scrambling to his feet. He looked around himself and only several feet away, Trinity's body lay. Strangely enough, the flowers around them were daffodils, Trinity's favorite.

Taking his step, he tripped, falling onto all fours. The soft ground protected him, only dirt stains as proof that he fell. Crawling to his love, he took her cold hands, muttering desperately to come back to him. He wasn't sure if it was tears or just him, but his vision became blurry, colors around him meshing into one. Wait…Colors? I haven't seen colors since… before I was the One. What does this mean? Why can't I see the code? Neo thought. He closed his eyes tightly for several moments. Opening them again, he saw a quick flash of green numbers and letters make the scenery around him. He blinked again, seeing the bright colored flowers again as any normal human being would. What's… happening? His head started to hurt as the flashes became quicker. Even when he closed his eyes, he felt the pain behind his lids. His breathing became heavy and his head began to swirl. He opened his eyes once more to see Trinity gazing up at him. I thought you were dead… He said to himself before the pain numbed his body and he was launched into unconsciousness.
