EDIT: Sorry, I was having computer troubles, this should be what I actually typed.

Title: By Myself

Author: Matrix25

Rating: R for language, violence and mild gore.

Disclaimer: Ha, I wish!! None of it's mine.

Summery: A much younger Neo was overcome one of his greatest fears; going into the Matrix alone.

Thanks: A HUGE thanks goes to the fabulous Dark Trin, who was my beta. She rocks, and didn't yell at me about the cliffhanger. If she wasn't the only one I let read this story, believe me, I would have more thanks to give out.

Authors Note: Okay, this story has some gore it in, so if your one of those super squeamish people, I don't want to take responsibility if you puke on your computer. This is your warning. Please give me your thoughts, even if you think I suck. I promise I'll update as soon as I can, but of course, I'm very busy and uninspired. Yes. That's all I have to say.

Chapter 1~ Trinity's Down

***

"Remember," Morpheus said to Trinity, who was already in the Construct, "Make this quick. We don't want to attract many Agents."

"Okay." Trinity responded quietly. She began to hang up her phone when Morpheus' voice stopped her.

"And Trinity? Take care of Neo." With that he hung up. Trinity mumbled something Neo couldn't hear as she put her phone away. Morpheus was substituting for Tank, who was still recovering from the battle with Cypher. He hit the load key, sending them into the Matrix. Trinity picked up her cell phone and informed Morpheus they were in.

"Okay, Morpheus, what have we got?" she asked, unusually edgy.

"Shit. I have five Agents coming your way. You're going to have to cut your mission short. I have an exit for you at Wayne and Cambridge Roads, about seven blocks east."

"Wayne and Cambridge. Got it." She replied and hung up. She then turned to Neo.

"We have some problems and need to get out. You drive a motorcycle?"

"Motorcycle?" He repeated.

"Yeah. Can you drive one?" She gave him a pathetic look. He started to answer but was cut off by a bullet whizzing by his head.

"Jeez. What the hell was that?!" He shouted. Trinity looked around and an Agent's sunglasses soon met her eyes.

"Oh fuck, they found us. Come on." She grabbed his arm and began running at light speed down the street. They ran toward the intersection, coming to a red light. Trinity pulled out her gun and began sneaking around a Ferrari.

"Trinity, what're you doing?" Neo asked.

"I'm car-jacking." She replied, with a wily smile on her face. She thrust open the door and pointed her gun at the driver's head. He swore loudly and when he refused to give up his car, she reached in and threw him out.

"God, did you have to do that?" Neo asked. He turned around and watched the fleeing driver run toward a cop, who morphed into an Agent.

"Whoa shit, whoa shit, whoa shit!!" Neo yelled and quickly dived into the passenger's side of the car. Trinity revved up the engine, the light changed, and they flew, speeding between cars as they went. Neo watched in the mirror as three Agent police cars sped behind them. A bullet entered the rear window, shattering the glass.

Trinity swerved right, jack-knifing the car, smashing into a fire hydrant. Water erupted form it and flooded the streets, causing the Agent's cars to go out of control and smash into each other. One car burst into a show of orange and yellow flames, while another leaked gas. The Agents tried to escape, but they weren't fast enough.

The cars exploded, raining host body parts on the street below. An arm landed on the windshield and for a second, Trinity though Neo was going to throw up. She turned on the wipers, removing the arm, but leaving a blood streak.

"God, how can you stand it?" Neo asked.

"What?"

"The blood."

"It kind of grows on you I guess."

"Yeah and so do warts." He laughed. Trinity smiled slightly and kept her eyes on the road.

When they reached the hardline area they dropped the car and ran out. There it was. A long forgotten telephone booth at the corner of an old, run-down neighborhood. Trinity checked the area before dragging Neo over. He was about to exit when a bullet shot through the Plexiglas. Neo ducked and dropped the phone.

"They found us again?!"

"Yeah, you'll get used to it. Hang up the phone and get yourself out. I'll hold them back." Trinity shouted to him and pulled out her gun. She fired twice but the Agents dodged her bullets. Neo hung up the phone, which immediately began to ring again. For the second time, he was about to exit when he saw it. Trinity was down.
