A/N I had another chapter before this. However, everyone knows what Morpheus says and does in the Construct and how they react. So on with the story!! This is set a month and a half after Pedróvna's unplugging, FYI. Use your imagination for the fight in the Construct. Don't complain about it. Hey, if I can write using Matrix situations, why not Animatrix?
**
Alpha and Pedróvna walked into the Core to find Link at the consoles and Neo and Trinity plugged in.
"What are they doing?" Alpha asked, upset to be left out of any potential missions.
"Just killing time in the Construct." Link replied.
Alpha and Pedróvna walked over to one of the screens to watch. Trinity and Neo were in some sort of Dojo. Sunlight shone through a circular window high up on the southern wall and Zen banners hung from the ceiling, concealing the dark wodden walls. Trinity and Neo were blindfolded in the centre of the Dojo, holding long swords, Trinity in a black robe and Neo in his customary white one.
"Hey, is this the program me and Trinity were fighting in?", Alpha asked.
"Yeah, I made some... minor changes"
Alpha smirked and turned back to the screens. Trinity and Neo were moving apart, slashing the air in front of them, hoping to make contact. He could see how both of them were straining their ears to hear anything that would give away their opponents position. Suddnely, he saw Neo move. He had never seen anyone move that fast before. Neo raised his sword but was blocked by Trinity's. He applied pressure on her sword. They broke apart. She jumped above him, kepping her body straight before landing gracefully with her back to him. She felt something cool slide down her arm. She lowered it and felt her sleeve slip off. She turned quickly to strike but was met by his sword. They struggled for control before breaking away again and assuming defensive positions. She felt the air move above her as Neo jumped over her. She spun around and felt her sword slice through something. She prayed it wasn't flesh. Clearing the thought from her mind, she slashed her sword forward. She threw her upper body back as she felt his sword slice the air directly above her. Neo knelt down and prepared to attack as Trinity moved away. He heard her appraoching from the side and blocked the blow. He raised his sword and felt it make contact with something that was not a sword. He heard her jump back. He raised his swoard in an offensive postion. After circling each other, they moved forward together. She blocked everyone of his blows before ducking when he swiped his sword towards her. Trinity tumbled and faced towards him again. She lunged forward with her sword. Again, her move was blocked.
"Its like they can read each others minds". Pedróvna's voice startled Alpha.
"I know. Kinda scary, isn't it?", he replied.
Pedróvna didn't reply. Once again, she was immersed in the fight. Alpha turned back to the screen. Neo lifted the cream blindfold from his eyes and looked at his opponent. He had somehow cut the top of her robe off, leaving nothing but a black, silken strap across her chest. That was way to much of Trinity for anyone but him to see. He lowered his blindfold again and jumped back a long way as he had seen her preparing to jump foward towards him. When Trinity hit nothing but air, she moved her sword from on hand to the other. Flinging it forward, she ran after it before cartwheeling and doing for consecutive foward flips. While still in the air, she tried to attack him on the left side, but was thrown off balance by his sword. Tumbling to avoid hitting the ground head on, she again assumed a defensive position. Running forward, she attacked him at what she guessed was shoulder height before being blocked and ducking down to avoid being hit. She felt her sword slide against something and moved back. Raising her blindfold she saw that she had successfully removed the top of his robe and one leg of it. Smiling to herself she raised her sword and prepared to attack. Neo felt her sword make contact with his. He applied pressure to her sword and felt it give way an Trinity moved back. He turned around and felt himself somehow end up back-to-back against her. He turned around quickly. He could feel her warm breath close to his as he felt his sword slide down against hers. He lowered his head slowly to meet hers.
"Link, get them out". Alpha and Pedróvna turned around at he sound of Morpheus' voice.
"Why?", Link asked.
"We just recieved a distress call from the Valiant. Their entire crew is surrounded by Agents."
"Jesus". Link typed in a few commands. In the Construct, Neo's mouth was nearing Trinity's. He could feel how close she was. Suddnely he felt everthing disintegrate around him. He remove his blindfold and saw only white. The next thing he saw was Morpheus standing over him.
"Dammit, Morpheus". He had been so close to her.
"Neo, I need you to go into the Matrix"
"Why?"
"There's a crew in there surrounded by Agents. Three of them, along with about five S.W.A.T. teams."
Neo nodded and rested his head against the chair.
"He's not going in alone". Neo raised his head at the sound of Trinity's voice. She still had the data spike insterted into her plug and from the sound of her voice, Neo knew that it wuldn't be removed for a while.
"OK, fine" he said. "But... be careful". His dreams still weighed heavily on his mind.
"Whatever"
Neo smirked and closed his eyes. He felt the familiar rush of being loaded up and then, the Matrix.
***
They heard the crew of the Valiant before they saw them. Gunshots echoed through the night as tehy used their last remaining weapons. Soren watched his crew as he fought. He knew that, unless a miracle occured, this would be their last battle. Over half the S.W.A.T. teams were dead, but they still had three Agents to deal with. He could feel the metallic taste of blood in his mouth and the pain in his arm from the gunshot out got steadily worse as we watched his second-in-comand fall, shot through the throat. As he turned around to look at him, he felt a pressure at the back of his neck. A cool, metallic, gun shaped pressure. He closed his eyes and waited for the shot. It never came. He felt the pressure move from his neck and turned around. The S.W.A.T. man was lying dead on the ground and Trinity, the infamous Trinity, was standing in his place, gun in hand and half a smirk on her face.
"Go!", she said to him. "Get you're crew and get out of here. There's and exit ready at Byrne and Lake. Down the alley. Go!"
Soren barely had time to stutter his thanks to her before he led his team down an alley way. Turning around halfway down the alley, he saw Trinity disposing of the S.W.A.T. guys and Neo fighting the Agents. The sound of gunshots followed him all the way to Byrne and Lake.
Neo made easy work of two of the Agents and turned his attention to the last one. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Trinity fighting the last few S.W.A.T. men. The Agent was almost gone. One well placed strike to the throat and they'd be home free for now. Raised his arm and brought it down forcibly onto the Agents neck. When he collapsed, he searched for the code streams that mmade up the Agent and deleted him. He was turning around to face Trinity when he felt a searing pain. Looking down, he noticed a bullet wound in his thigh. He fell to the ground, clutching his leg. He saw the S.W.A.T. member who had shot him go down as well before he felt Trinity's presence beside him.
"Shit, shit shit", she swore. "Can you walk?"
Neo rose shakily to his feet, leaning heavily on Trinity's slight shoulders. "Yeah, I think so" he said through gritted teeth. "There is no fucking spoon", he added with a mirthless laugh.
"Come on", Trinity said. "The exit is just down the alleyway." Taking out her cell phone with one hand and supporting Neo with the other, she called for an exit.
***
Back in the Nebuchadnezzar's Med. Bay, Neo lay sedated on a bed against the wall, his leg bandaged. Trinity sat on a chair beside him, watching him sleep.
"He'll be OK, Trinity", Link said. "The bullet missed the artery."
"I know, I just want to stay with him", she replied as Morpheus walked in.
"Well, you can't", he said and stood behind her.
"Why not?"
"I want you to go to bed and get some rest. The Oracle wants to see Pedróvna tomorrow and you're taking her".
Trinity rose slowly from her chair and stood up straight.
"Good" Morpheus said. "You, Pedróvna, Alpha and myself will be goig in tomorrow morning"
"What about Neo? Won't he be coming?"
"The sedatives won't wear off until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest"
"OK", Trinity said. After stooping to kiss Neo softly on the forehead, she made her way to her room for the night.
***
A/N Dum, dum, dum. Bet you weren't expecting Neo to get shot, were ye? He can't stop bullets alright, but not from behind. Hee hee. This turned out longer than I expected and took longer too, but that was probably because I kept spelling 'the' and 'teh' or 'te' and 'from' as 'form'. Ah well. I'll post the next chapter when I feel like it. The story will get a small bit exciting, I PROMISE!
