NOTE: There is a bit were Neo, and overwritten Neo talk to each other, so remember: Neo/Smith is Neo overwritten, and //words inside double slashes// represent Neo/Smith thoughts. Trinity will occasionally refer to Neo/Smith as Neo, as she isn't sure who he really is. sorry if it gets a little confusing, ask if you aren't sure who is who! And Enjoy!!!









The Matrix - The Park



Morpheus slowly drew his gun. "Neo, you must remember who you are" Trinity pleaded. She wasn't quite as sure she would be able to kill Neo now the moment had come, but she still had her gun ready.

Neo/Smith sighed. "You humans *really* are dull." he said, and reached for his gun. However it was at that moment, being aimed at him by Trinity, and his spare was also missing.

"Looking for this?" Morpheus muttered, swinging the gun around to face Neo/Smith.

"Yes actually" drawled Neo/Smith, looking unimpressed, and punched Morpheus in the face, knocking him to the floor.

Neo/Smith grabbed for the gun but Morpheus rolled away, pulling it out of reach. Neo/Smith snarled and leapt forward, just missing a shot form Trinity's gun. He span around and to face her, looking mildly surprised.

"You do realise that if you kill me, you are technically killing what *was* Mister Anderson." He said smirking, Neo/Smith knew he had the upper hand here. //He was almost certain Trinity wouldn't be able to kill him, which would make killing her a lot easier.//

"I know. Neo asked me too." She said levelly, and started shooting at him.

Neo/Smith's movements blurred as he avoided the bullets, but now Morpheus had started to fire at him from behind, and he had to flip backwards out of the way.

Morpheus stood up and trained his gun on Neo/Smith, as did Trinity. However, Neo/Smith didn't even attempt to move. He just stood there, smiling smugly.

Trinity frowned, what was he planning? Well if he didn't expect them to shoot to kill, he was wrong. She would still keep her promise to Neo, she wouldn't let him down.

Both Morpheus and Trinity let out a barrage of bullets at their former friend. He didn't even flinch. As the bullets sped towards him, he raised his hands and they stopped in mid-air and fell to the floor. Morpheus gasped.

Neo/Smith looked down at the fallen ammunition. "Interesting." He said thoughtfully "Now it's my turn." In one swift movement, Neo/Smith kicked the gun out of Morpheus' hands and punched Trinity in the jaw. He ducked down, avoiding Morpheus' fist and swept up the gun, and rammed it up against Morpheus' temple. Trinity turned wiping blood from her mouth, and froze. Neo had his gun at Morpheus, point blank.



The Neb

Bane/Smith was savouring the moment. He was about to dispose of Morpheus, someone he despised almost as much as the annoying Mister Anderson. At first he didn't notice Links hand creeping towards the keyboard. But when he did, a none too gentle prod with the gun stopped it. He wasn't going to let anything get in his way. Not this time.



The Matrix - The park



Trinity couldn't believe it, first Neo, now Morpheus. Was she going to lose everyone she cared about? Morpheus had his eyes closed, how could he look so calm? Trinity knew he had faced death before, but he was about to be killed by the closest thing he had to a best friend. Smith, or Neo, or whoever it was at the moment however, looked like he was enjoying every second of prolonging Morpheus' demise.

If only she could somehow reach him, bring him back. But she didn't know how, or if she even could. "Neo," She began carefully. Neo/Smith just pressed the gun a little harder into Morpheus' head, who tried not to wince. //He was about to kill him, then he would kill Trinity and he would have had his revenge.//

"I don't know if you can hear me, but just remember you said you would fight." she said, slowly raising her gun.

//The only thing He was going to fight right now was her, and he knew who would win. Then she would be dead, as soon as he finished with Morpheus// 'No' a small voice in the back of his mind said. Neo/Smith blinked and ignored it. //That wasn't who he was anymore. He didn't care for these people now. He wanted them dead.//

Trinity saw his moment of hesitation and lunged forward pushing him away from Morpheus and onto the floor. Neo/Smith growled and leapt up, searching form his gun. Trinity dealt him a blow to the stomach, making him grunt in pain.

Then she grabbed his hand. Neo/Smith stared down at the small, delicate hand, gripping his own, with confusion "What are you doing?" he said disgusted. Trinity smiled briefly. "I'm not letting go" she said, before grabbing his arm with her other hand and heavily swinging him into a wall.

***

Neo/Smith smacked into the wall and fell into a crumpled heap at the bottom. //He was angry now, he hadn't expected her to be this much trouble, but it didn't matter, he would just have to kill her first. And what on earth did she mean, she wasn't letting go?//

Neo was beginning to gain consciousness again, she wasn't going to give up on him, he had to fight this. //But was she just playing for time? She didn't believe he could come back, she had already tried to kill him.// Yes she had, she had tried to kill him, but only because.. //She would kill him as well, unless he killed her first.// He couldn't kill her, he loved her. //No he didn't. He *had* loved her. Now he was going to kill her//

Trinity looked down hesitantly at Smith, he was flickering, like Neo had earlier before he had changed. Did that mean Neo was coming back? Had he been able to regain control?

Her hopeful thoughts were interrupted as Neo climbed up from the floor. When she looked at him, she felt a sinking feeling in her stomach, as she realised what it would have been like if by some cruel twist of fate, Neo had been an Agent, instead of the One.

Both Morpheus and Trinity watched as Neo straightened his tie. He was wearing a crisp Agent suit, dusted with debris from the wall. Trinity would have thought that it was defiantly Neo, if only his delicate porcelain features hadn't been marred by sinister, steely blue eyes.

"Neo, is it you?" Trinity questioned cautiously

Neo/Smith sneered "You're futile attempts to bring back your friend are beginning to annoy me Trinity. Mister Anderson is gone. As will you, shortly"

Neo/Smith ran towards her, and kicked her, sending her flying into the wall, and then sent a flurry of punches at abdomen, so fast his arms blurred.

Morpheus had only ever seen an Agent use that move. Now he was seeing Neo use it on Trinity. Morpheus started to shoot at him but Neo/Smith span round and launched himself at Morpheus knocking him to the floor, and was scrambling to grab his gun.

Trinity heaved herself up against the wall. She could see Neo fighting Morpheus on the floor with his back to her. Trying to ignore the fact that the person she was shakily aiming at was someone she had loved, that she still loved. Someone she had always tried to protect. She pulled the trigger and closed her eyes.

***

Neo/Smith heard the shot, and tried to swerve away, but he wasn't quite fast enough. The bullet ripped through his suit and hit him in the arm under his left shoulder, a few inches away from his heart. Neo/Smith paused, in shock.

//She had tried to kill him.// She nearly had. if he hadn't moved fast enough he would be dead. She had given up on him. And if Trinity didn't think he could fight this...//..then why should he bother to//

Neo/Smith tore the gun away from Morpheus, and turned to Trinity, eyes narrowed dangerously.

Trinity froze to the spot. Looking into eyes full of determination and menace, she realised that whether this was Smith, or Neo, or both, they weren't going to rest until she was dead. Trinity did something she thought she would never have to do from Neo. She ran like hell.

Time seemed to slow as ducked the first shot, and she saw Morpheus run at Neo and get knocked out cold as the second skimmed past her head.

Trinity didn't see the third shot, but she felt it.
