"Sir all I'm saying is that this Slither kid is a quick study." Link was talking with Nitro.

"How long did it take him to truly master hand to hand combat?"

"He pasted the full test with the third day." Slither came up and spoke with Nitro.

"I am ready." He was about to learn what he was supposed to do, after weeks of weapon and gun training.

"Come." Slither was now used to becoming "jacked in" to the Matrix. Slither woke wearing his favorite type of clothes. Black pants, with four pockets, one on each hip and one more above each knee. Each one perfect to hold a gun. His shirt was brown with a logo on it, it was simply three triangles stacked up to form a larger one, but he liked it. And last but not least Slither wore a classic open trench coat. He heard Link talk to him.

"Go talk a look in the window on your right." Slither did so and saw Thomas, no wait-- Neo doing unseen acrobatics and tricks while shooting down several guards. Their job was to recuse their captain. Slither's was quite different.

"You need to keep anyone you can off Neo's back. Many people are trying to get to him, stand up at the door, and let Nobody in. Understand? NOBODY!" Slither hung up and walked and stood at the door, casually. Soon several police walked up to the door, finding it locked they turned to him.

"Do you know why this door is locked?"

"I"m sorry sirs, but no one is allowed in right now."

"Son do you know how we are?"

"I said your not allowed in." said Slither, flicking the man off showing he was against the police.

"Arrest him! For open hostility."

"Oh, please." The men came at him with handcuffs. John kicked the first one in the head, then used the man's neck to flip upward and land, punching the chief in the face. Two more police came at Slither from behind, Slither grabbed one's wrist and swung around the man, breaking his arm, then Slither came up and kicked the last one square in the chest. Then he walked back and leaned against the wall. Soon he heard blasts of guns inside. Neo had apparently gotten, "past" the guards.

"Mr. Landman."

"Oh, crap!"

"I didn't think we'd meet so soon again. Though now you know too much, you have to be taken care of." The agent kept moving towards Slither.

"So your here to kill me huh?"

"There's no reason to put it so bluntly." The agent suddenly moved and he was fast. Slither pulled out one of the pistols at his hips and fired at the agent, but he moved, so fast it looked like there were 5 of the agent instead of one. Slither ran forward and kicked out only to have the agent come up and catch his leg to punch his face. Slither landed and pushed himself up.

"Why bother to fight, you can't win you know." Slither ran hard at the agent and moved as though to kick and changed it to a punch at the last second, the agent let the blow land and Slither had to hold his hand because it felt as though he'd punched a brick wall.

"Now you begin to understand, I am stronger faster and tougher then you." An explosion came from the roof and Slither saw a chopper land on the roof and saw bullets fly off and heard a loud yell from Neo.

"Neo!" Slither turned to start kicking to door down only to have to agent kick him in the back. Slither kicked the agent in the face with all his strength, it caused the man to stumble for a bit. Slither kcied him again and smashed to glass on the door apart before jumping into the building. John ran over to the stair and jumped up them fast, he still reached to roof just as Neo was jumping the helicopter.

"Neo! Wait!" Then the chopper took off and Neo began shooting at the men, Slither had to dodge a few rounds because Neo couldn't see too well. The helicopter flew off, those two still had a job to do.

"Mr. Landman."

And so do I. thought Slither. Turning, Slither kicked out high only to find the agent catch the blow with and open handed block. Slither then tried to punch him only to feel a hand moving with invisible speed hit him hard in the gut. Slither kneeled and waited to the killing blow. Nothing happened. Slither coughed up a bit of blood. He looked up into the agent's eyes.

"It's over Mr. Landman." Slither felt rather then saw a sword behind him. Reaching back as fast as he could. Slither moved just fast enough so that the agent couldn't stop him and Slither managed to cut the 'man' across the face. The agent stumbled back and then pulled out his own gun, Slither cut the program's right arm. The program suddenly heard something through his earpiece and he ran off. Slither stood gasping then called his operator.

"Operator."

"Get me out of here NOW!" He was lead to the exit and made it without any real trouble.

"What happened?" asked Nitro.

"I don't know, some agent came at me, he fast as heck too." Nitro missed a beat in his next sentence.

"An agent... your sure?"

"Yes. just like what you told me. Wait-- didn't you see me?"

"We saw you fighting something, we didn't know who it was." Slither was nonplused.

"...Is Neo out?"

"I don't know." That night's meal was the same goop as ever. Slither gulped it down hungrily. Soon Slither heard a call. It had been Roland, he wanted to call a meeting.

End.

Ok for the record, I NEVER saw the first matrix, never once saw it, so this is based off the game "the path of neo" and a bit of who-knows-what from websites, so any bad timeline info is not my fault, but I've watch reloaded and revolutions so it will get better, promise, please R&R. (If you do I may really edit it.)
