The Power of an Agent
Disclaimer: I do not own The Matrix, blah, blah, blah. Any characters, plots, etc that I create are mine. MINE yea hear!? MINE!
Summary: What if one day, in the Matrix, when a new, super improved form of Agent, is produced by the Mainframe, comes and tries to take over a teen when he encounters some free minds? He'll become a mindless Agent, right? But what if this new form has a weak mind-control? What if he could break free, remaining human-and retaining the powers of the Agent? Takes place between The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded. *******************
Prologue: A Mother's Love
"No!" The Asian woman screamed as she was dragged from her home by two imposing figures into a car, which had been waiting outside the terrace house. Her son who had been separated from his mother began to cry, waking up the entire household from their sleep.
Quickly, the two men opened the car doors and threw her in before going in themselves and driving away. The father and elder sister of the little boy came out from their rooms and saw him bawling on the floor of the living room. When asked what was going on, the boy would only stutter "Mummy, Mummy..."
The father and sister looked at each other knowingly before embracing the boy and all of them wept, for the woman they thought was dead.
Only the boy knew that his mother was still alive, and had just walked in a few minutes ago, only to be torn away from his arms seconds later.
But the boy was only two. How could he tell about that?
How would he even remember that when he grew up?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ -
Mink jerked as she was released from the Matrix. She reached out for the needle, wanting to jack herself in again. Jax pulled it out of her reach.
"Fuck you, assholes! I want MY family back!" Mink screamed desperately as the other two members of the hovercraft Mauboussin, Uther and Elune pulled her into a room and locked her in.
Elune sighed as she saw the locked door get pounded by Mink. Of course, the door remained closed; they could soon only hear her cries inside the hovercraft.
"She can't seem to forget her family this easily, doesn't she?" Uther looked pityingly at her.
"Maybe. But not for a very long time." Jax replied. Everyone there agreed silently. Most of the time, in the Matrix as a free mind, you forget about the ones you left behind and start to care about the ones making an impact currently in your life: Agents.
"Let her cool down for awhile. Maybe that'll work. I hope, at least that she can realize that it was almost impossible to get the rest of her family out as well." Elune said.
The operator of the Mauboussin thought for a few moments then smiled before going to the workshop to work on a project she'd been working on. Drenia had an idea.
------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Six hours later, Drenia opened the room where Mink was locked. She had eventually cried herself to sleep. The face of the poor woman was still streaked with tears, and she had curled into a fetal position.
Surprisingly, even after expending this much energy, Mink was still a light sleeper, and she woke up immediately after Drenia pulled up a chair beside her.
She blinked a few times, then recognised the operator. She opened her mouth to speak, but Drenia held up a hand to silence her. "Don't say anything, Mink. You need to conserve your energy, if not, you'll never get a mission again."
The grief-stricken mother nodded as Drenia continued to speak "You see, Mink, I am a mother as well, and I've gone through the same separation with my family as well. There's nothing much I could have done, and I've felt as angry and sad as you have."
"But," Drenia continued "I decided to do something to at least help my family a little: Fight against the machines. So I became an operator and even picked up engineering plus computer hardware skills, turning me into one of the best technical people in the resistance. Then about a year ago, I managed to design and create a computer chip, that once it is locked inside the head plug of an individual, it would prevent any hostile takeovers."
Mink looked interested. "Like?" She asked.
Drenia smiled "Agent takeover of bodies. You as well as I know that Agents require a seed body to activate properly. So when information is transmitted to the person plugged into the Matrix to become the Agent, a strange electronic pulse would be sent. This chip effectively makes the human's mind more powerful, hence preventing him from getting 'possessed' by an Agent program. What was more was that after that happens, he is no longer registered in the Mainframe or traceable. I tried it on my daughter whose location I had just discovered. It was successful."
She pulled out a small machine resembling a house lizard and said "After we take the DNA samples from your body, I will send this machine out to find your son. It may take weeks, months, or even years to do it, but once this reaches him, rest assured that this machine would embed the chip into his mind. This is to ensure that at least, in the future, you may fight enemies without having to wonder whether that's your son that's trying to kill you."
Mink now had her eyes closed and she was silent.
"I just wanted to help." Drenia trailed off.
Suddenly, Mink enveloped Drenia in a hug and she cried again, this time, tears of gratitude. "Oh thank you so much, Drenia. I just got freed and then you're already helping me so much! Thank you!"
Drenia smiled at the newcomer and then motioned Mink to the door.
"I'm not the only one. Those three did a lot of work helping me construct the little bugger. "
Mink looked up, and saw that Jax, Uther and Elune were all in the doorway, smiling at her with soot-blackened faces. She cried anew and this time, all four of them gathered each other into a warm embrace.
Five Years Later...
The seven-year old Shen Long jumped onto his parents' huge bed along with his thirteen-year old sister, Alexandra. They were going to play a very fun game, which involved intertwining their right arms together and going in circles as fast as they could while singing out "Yaaba da dobedoo, yaaba da dobeda, yaaba da doodoodoo!" repeatedly. The aim of the game was to try to hang on much as possible without losing their balance.
This game often ended in a huge bump and either party injured very slightly.
But they were kids anyway, so why worry?
They soon began. The siblings ran round and round in circles, getting faster and faster, the younger sibling suddenly got closer and closer to the edge of the bed.
It was inevitable. The raven-haired Shen Long stepped into thin air, causing him to lose his balance. Combined with the momentum of the spin, Shen Long flew face-first into the wardrobe nearby.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ---------------
The mechanical lizard dove into the red tank holding the hairless boy, who had been its target for five years. It had finally found him, and it swam through the viscous liquid and bit onto the head plug. Making sure its grip was firm; it began drilling the chip into the socket.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- --
Being only a kid, he burst into tears immediately. His sister quickly came to examine him, and noticed that his nose was flat, but no blood poured from his nose. In fact, what Shen Long seemed to be crying about was the back of his head, as both his little hands had clasped around it.
Then he stopped crying. The pain had stopped.
Alexandra, being worried that she would get into trouble for injuring her brother, quickly made many funny faces, causing the seven-year old to burst into fits of laughter.
----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- --------------------------------
Having completed its mission, the lizard leapt out of the bio-tank, and this time, it began its return to the hovercraft.
Meanwhile, the little microchip waited, for that special pulse that would not come until many years had passed.
