The Matrix: Rebellion

- By K. M. Chambers

Introduction

In the 72 hour count down to war, men and women are called up to protect the reminder the human race, they leave their children in the deepest part of Zion, believed to be safest.

And now, just as the great Morpheus has spoken over the roaring crowd, two more have now got to make this sacrifice.

(Author's notes: okay this is where the story actually starts, but first I just want to make sure that you know that this part happens is just after the scene where Neo talks to Councillor Hamann in Reloaded)

Prologue

Neo walked through the dark corridors of Zion back to his place, after just talking to councillor Hamann in the engineering level. He thought deeply about what the old councillor had said to him. He was also thinking about what the future had in store for him, Trinity, and his son.

'What am I going to do?' Neo thought to himself. 'I mean, here I am not even knowing if I will be left standing after this. Then there's that dream about Trinity, I'm really afraid of losing her. And then there's my son, he's in danger of getting killed by the machines or if they don't reach Zion, he could lose his only parents. What if I do die doing what I have to do, will he have to carry on in my place? It would be like sending him to his own death. No, I can't do that, I won't. What ever it takes, I'll make sure that won't happen to him. I just hope Trinity agrees with me.'

Trinity woke up from her bed because she heard her baby son crying. She looks across the room to find her beloved Neo is nowhere in sight.

'Neo must of had another bad dream again,' She thought to herself as she got up out of bed and put her dressing gown on.

Trinity walks over to her baby's crib, picks him up and starts to rock him as she starts to lightly sing to her child to calm him down.

A few minutes later, Neo enters the room and walks up to Trinity, by this point the baby had stopped crying. Trinity looks up at Neo as the came in, she had stopped sing but she still rocked the child in her arms.

"Where were you?" She asked him.

"I just needed to get out for a while," Neo replied. "You know, just to get some fresh air."

"That dream again?"

"Yeah, something like that." Neo looks down at his son. "We should really think of a name for this little guy."

"Your right, but I have no idea what to call him. How about you, have you thought of a name for him?"

"No, not really."

Trinity looks down at her son and suddenly thinks of something.

"I've got an idea," she said as she looks at Neo.

Neo looks back at her completely surprised, as if he knew what exactly Trinity had in mind.

"Are you serious?" Neo replied.

Trinity nods at him. After a few minutes of thought, Neo agrees with the chosen name.

Trinity sat down on the bed with the child in her arms. Neo goes over, sits down beside her and sighed.

"Trinity" Neo began before she cut him of.

"Neo, I know you are worried about what you have to do on your path, I am to, but what ever happens, I will stand with you, right until the end," Trinity said, while letting Neo hold their baby boy.

"I know, but what will become of our son?"

Trinity tries to hold back her emotions. "The only thing we can do."

--

In the depths of Zion outside one of the orphanages.

"Will he be okay here?" Trinity asked the owner of the orphanage.

"Of course he will, we offer all your son will need," the owner said.

"More importantly," Neo interrupted, "Is it safe down here?"

"Depends really on whether or not the machines break through, we can only hope they don't reach this far down."

"Don't worry, they won't, I guarantee it."

Trinity and Neo bid goodbye to their little boy, full with tears, as they hand over their baby to the owner of the orphanage. After this, Neo and Trinity turned around and start to walk away.

As they walk, Neo puts his arm around Trinity to comfort he, and whispers in her ear, "we've done the right thing."

"Wait," the owner calls out. Trinity and Neo both suddenly look that each other, but then Neo nods at his beloved.

"Neo," they both said.
