Disclaimer: I do not own the matrix. and the shadow masters belong to A.E.Atkin.

This story is based on after The Matrix Revolutions.

They say Neo never returned into the matrix, some say he did , but the secret is ..... he did! And now he will meet new enemies , allies and AI.

"Ahh my head, where am I?" said neo questionly.

he sat up and looked around, he noticed that he was lying in a see-through pod filled with water.

"I'm back in the...."

There was a big clash of thunder and a senetal flew round to Neo and released all the tubes and wires attached to Neo's body all in one go.

"Not Again! "

Said Neo as he slid down the tube into a pool of even more water. The Hovercraft swooped round and picked neo up with the crane.

"Its Good to have you back Neo " said Morpheus

As he helped neo out of the crane and give him new clean clothes.

"You've been gone for along time and the crew has missed you "

"That's what happens when you sacrifice yourself to save Zion "

"You might notice we have a few new members of our crew. Niobe and Ghost you already know but I like you to meet flint "

"Good to meet you neo, I've heard a lot about you and will be happy serving you on this ship " said Flint still suffering from shock meeting Neo

"Its nice to meet you too, Morpheus I could use some training with weapons and I need to learn martial arts."

"Got it , we need to hook you into the construct , Link find the close combat programme and load it up "

said Morpheus as he helped neo into the seat and plugged the jack-plug into the back of Neo's head

"Load It "

-=[ Close Combat Programme ]=-

"Welcome Neo, time to polish up on the things that has been forgotten "

"Not forgotten, Erased "

Said Neo as he threw several punches at Morpheus. Showing Neo that he is still good, Morpheus Ducks and swings his leg at the back of Neo's legs, Neo Back flips over his leg.

"You've Improved since I last taught you "

"So Have You "

Neo Throws 6 more punches at Morpheus and struggling he blocks 5 and on the 6th one he falls on his back to dodge Neo's last punch.

"You got me "

"Now For the weapons training "

-=[ Weapons Training Programme ]=-

Both Morpheus and Neo were standing in crowds of people walking around , minding their own business.

"So what do I have to do in this game? "said Neo

Morpheus hands Neo a Desert Eagle and says

"Shoot the agents "

"Easy "

"Good Luck "

Morpheus left the matrix and watched Neo on the computer.

(((( BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!! ))))

Neo was shooting his guns in all directions but not one bullet missed an agent. Neo was watching that he didn't shoot one of the civilians and he didn't hit one!

"Nice work Neo."

"Thanks , Did I miss any? "

"No , Link has a report that a group of hackers are going to attempt the steal the Marigna file "

"Marigna File?"

"A file which Zion uses to load and unload all there defence systems "

"And hackers are trying to steal it right from the heart of Zion? They wont stand a chance! "

"not from Zion , from a escort that are taking it to Sabre's Night Club in New York "

"We've got to warn them!"

"We should rest first "
