Unforgotten13: Aw! You're so sweet!
Lindzs: Thanx for putting my story on your favourites! This is set after the first film, cos I'd got really far into it when I saw the second one, and. well, you'll find out later.
Im a Brandybuck: Aw! You're sweet also!
Knowinsight: You too!
I hope you appreciate all those callouts cos I had to trawl through my e- mails to make sure that I hadn't missed anyone! I would have just read it on the review list, but it wasn't showing all of them, so I had to check all my reviews.. I have no social life..
Chapter 5 - Awakening
Neo led Asha into the next room. Asha looked around, amazed. There were computer monitors, and a chair next to a mirror.
"You're... you're...." she said, "You're going to unplug me?"
"Its our only chance," said Morpheus, "We must get you out of the Matrix before the agents realize where you are."
"But..." said Asha, "It looks kinda scary. And painful..."
"It is," said Neo, "I'm not going to lie to you. But if the agents find you, we don't know what they'll do."
Asha nodded. She sat down in the chair. She didn't mind leaving the Matrix. Her parents were gone. She could never go home. What was there to stay here for?
"Wait!" she cried, "What about Jon?"
"Who?" said Trinity.
"He's my best friend!"
"We can't do anything about him," said Neo, "I'm sorry, Asha."
"What?" said Asha, "We're just going to leave him plugged in? A slave of the Matrix?"
"There's nothing we can do," said Neo.
Asha couldn't believe her ears. "But.... I can't leave him..."
"You have to," said Morpheus, "Or you, us and Zion will be in danger."
"But..." said Asha.
"Asha," said Trinity, "We can't. Do you understand?"
Asha couldn't speak. She nodded. Trinity glanced at Morpheus, who stepped forward. "Here you are," he said, holding out a red pill, "I'm sure you know what it is."
Asha nodded again. She took it from him, but hesitated for a moment. She glanced around at Neo, Trinity and Morpheus. Suddenly Trinity's cell phone rang.
"Tank?" said Trinity. She was silent for a moment. "Are you sure?" She listened again, then closed her cell phone. She looked from Morpheus to Neo to Asha. "Agents," she said, "On their way."
"How long?" asked Neo.
"Five minutes. Tops."
Neo swore. Morpheus looked at Asha.
"Now do you see?" said Morpheus, "They are looking for you. If they find you here, no-one will ever see you again; and if they do, you will have changed in ways we can't imagine."
Asha nodded again. It was all she seemed to do tonight. She felt like bloody Noddy. But she doubted that the reason he nodded all the time was that he found out that he was the second hope of a bunch of previously thought fictional freedom fighters wearing black leather.
"Just relax," said Neo. Asha lay back and closed her eyes. She could hear Morpheus talking to someone on his cell phone. She just lay there, waiting. When nothing happened, she opened her eyes.
"Do I have to touch the mirror, or something?" said Asha, "Like Neo did?"
"No," said Morpheus, "We're nearly there."
There was suddenly a loud crash outside. The children in the living room screamed. "Agents," said Trinity. Morpheus strode out the door.
"Get the children to the apartment above," she heard him order, "The people there are friends of ours. Trinity, what's happening?"
"We're nearly there," said Trinity.
They heard footsteps running up the stairs. "Trinity, Morpheus, get out!" said Neo, "I'll stay here and hold them off. You've got to go!"
"We're not leaving you!" said Trinity. Neo didn't listen. He dialled his cell phone. "Tank, get us out of here!"
The phone on the table rang. "Trinity, you first," said Neo.
Trinity stood her ground. "We're not leaving you alone!"
"Trinity, go!" Trinity stared at him, then picked up the receiver. She immediately vanished.
"Neo, how are we coming?" asked Morpheus.
"We've nearly got it. I can handle the rest myself! Go!" Footsteps echoed along the corridor outside. Morpheus nodded, and then headed over to the table, and picked up the again ringing phone. He also vanished. Asha glanced at Neo.
"I've got your signal," smiled Neo, "See you in the real world."
Asha nodded again. She suddenly felt a large jolt at the back of her head, and just before everything faded from view, she saw the door break down and police swarm into the apartment, with Agent Smith in the lead, and his look of fury as Asha vanished before his eyes, and Neo turning to face them.
There ya go! Get ready for my feeble attempts at describing stuff! And also, I've started writing a parody of the Matrix called 'The Matrix Madness', so please R+R it if you have a moment!
