I know that the last chapter was a little confusing, but yes it was Neo
(sort of!) and it is explained in this chapter!!!
NOTE: Neo/Smith is Neo overwritten, and //words inside double slashes// represent Neo/Smith thoughts
The Matrix- The park
Neo blinked and looked around, dazed. Where was he?
"Trinity?"
She looked into his eyes in relief, they were no longer harsh and cold, but innocent and confused. Trinity ran and wrapped her arms around him. Neo held her like he would never let go.
Now he remembered. He had done it. He had gotten back in time to stop Trinity from being shot. Shot... by him?
He staggered back from Trinity, and looked at the gun in his hands. He had nearly shot her. Not Smith, Him. Why had that happened? He would never do that! Unless....
Neo's eyes flashed down to his black wristwatch. '01:29' The only reason that he would have tried to shoot Trinity was if Smiths code was still in him, and that meant that he was still going to be overwritten, in less than 60 seconds. That wasn't enough time, even for him, to do anything to stop it.
"Neo what is it? What's wrong?" Trinity questioned, running her fingers through his hair, and giving him a worried, searching look.
Neo stared back up at her, on the brink of tears, unable to get the words out. He didn't want to leave her; he had just found her again. At least he would be able to say goodbye.
"Trinity" he whispered pressing the gun into her hands "I don't have much time left, but I need you to.." he began quietly
"Neo, you're starting to scare me. What's going on? You're safe now, you're back.," she said smiling, slightly confused.
Morpheus walked over "Neo. Are you saying that, that it's too late?" he said frowning.
"Yes" said Neo softly. "Trinity, I tried, but I came back too late, I'm still going to be overwritten into a copy of Smith" Trinity looked shocked but didn't say anything.
Neo looked towards the gun in her hands. "When it happens, I..I want you, I need you to shoot me." Trinity started to retort but Neo motioned for her to let him finish. "If you don't, I will end up killing both you and Morpheus. I can't let that happen."
Trinity frowned. "Neo, you're stronger than this, you can fight it, I know you can!"
Neo cast his eyes down, "No I can't. I nearly shot you back then. I can't control this Trinity"
Trinity glared back at him. "So what? you're just going to give up? With out even fighting it?"
Neo looked insulted "I didn't say I wasn't going to fight Trinity." he said haughtily "I just need to know that you will kill me if I lose"
Trinity closed her eyes. Would she be able to kill him? could she kill Neo if she was forced to? She looked back up into his gentle chocolate-brown eyes.
"Yes" she said with resolution. If Neo couldn't beat Smith, she would shoot Him. It was what he wanted.
Neo broke into a smile. "Thanks." He pulled out another gun and handed it to Morpheus. "Just, you know, in case.." Morpheus nodded in unspoken agreement.
Trinity looked at Neo for possibly the last time. "You had better damn well promise your going to fight Neo. Or I may have to shoot you now" she said laughing, but it didn't hide the tears threatening to fall.
Neo smiled and just tried to take in everything that was Trinity, Her tall slim body, her sapphire eyes, Her tough attitude, and her secret deeply caring and loving side. He took a deep breath.
"Trin, just always remember that I love you, ok?"
Trinity laughed tearfully, "I love you too Neo" and the pair kissed ravenously.
They were torn apart however, as Neo yelled and fell down to the floor.

Trinity jumped back from Neo in shock. Neo felt a stabbing pain in his stomach and doubled over. He screwed up his eyes as the pain spread through his body, in every molecule of his being. He guessed his time was up.
Suddenly it subsided and was replaced by a numb, tingly feeling. Was this his matrix code being overwritten? He felt oddly like falling asleep, just letting go. His consciousness started to slip away.
Then he remembered Trinity's warning, he had to fight it. He gritted his teeth. Every second he tried to hold onto his own code, the searing pain came back
Trinity looked down at Neo in horror. He looked like he was in immense pain, all she wanted to do right now was to hold him, to make it better. But he had to fight this on his own. She couldn't help him.
Neo was trying to hold on, to stay in control, but he wasn't sure how to, or if it was even possible. He could feel his code changing and every time he tried to resist, it felt like it was killing him. If he let go for just a second, he knew that the pain would go away, but he also knew that he would too.
He had to hold on for Trinity. He had too. //He had to kill her// No! he didn't want to do that! //Yes he did. He wanted to kill her, it was what he had to do// 'Oh shit' Neo thought, he couldn't do it, Trinity was going to have to kill him. //Not if he killed her first//
Trinity slowly levelled the gun at Neo. His body was flickering, like a human's before they morphed into an Agent. 'Please Neo' she pleaded silently 'You promised me you would fight'
Neo let out a howl of pain.
He felt much better now. Neo/Smith stood up and straightened his tie, and smiled eerily at Morpheus and Trinity.
Trinity's hands shook slightly as she moved the gun up to Neo/Smith's chest, but her aim remained straight. This looked like Smith, but she knew that it was also Neo. She had to be sure he was completely gone before she even considered shooting him.
"Neo?" Trinity questioned hopefully "Are you still there?"
Neo/Smith raised an eyebrow quizzically, and stated "The human, Mister Anderson has been overwritten. I, am Smith."
