Teen Titans: Matrix Meltdown
Chapter 11: Smith meets Slade
Slade sat in his hideout. His left arm was bandage and covered stitches because Geo shot him last month. He is still upset that his plans for controlling Jump City were ruined all because of Geo. He can't get his mind off of him at all.
"That damn Geo Anderson." Slade said to himself. "Next time, it will be personal. I'll do whatever it takes to kill him."
Suddenly heard a voice from the darkness, "Then perhaps you need help." Slade looks behind his back to find a man in a dark suit with black glasses. It was…Agent Smith.
"Who the hell are you?" Slade questioned.
"My name is Agent Smith."
"How did you get here and what do you want?"
"Control yourself Mr. Slade. I came here to help with your problem with Geo Anderson."
"How do you know so much about Geo?"
"I am his adversary. His arch-nemesis."
"Wait. Geo said that he came from the future. So how is it that you came here."
"Have you ever heard of the matrix?"
"No."
"The matrix is where I came from. It was a virtual program where Geo and his team log in to do their mission."
"Wait. You're telling me that the matrix is a computer?"
"It's a an artificial reality created by sentient machines in order to pacify and subdue the human population."
"Interesting. Is there more about this matrix."
"Yes. I'm an artificial intelligence manifested in the artificial world - and thus having extraordinary powers to manipulate my surroundings. I have super-human strength and I am able to dodge bullets with something-called bullet time. My job is to keep order within the system by terminating troublesome programs and human avatars, which would otherwise bring instability to the simulated reality."
"So how did you get here?"
"Geo had created a Past Matrix. He used to connect the Future matrix and it created a bad connection."
"He did?"
"Yes. Everyone that was logged into the program is here. A portal has opened to another dimension that leads here to the year 2003. I realized that the Andersons are also here. Or should I say, Geo's parents and his master are here too."
"Hmmm. This is amazing. A family reunion for a freedom fighter."
"Indeed. When I heard that Geo and his friends called the Teen Titans live here, I decided to locate the man who knew the titans and that's you."
"So what is the point Agent Smith."
"How about a partnership. You and I teaming up to take down the Andersons and the Titans."
"A partnership with you?"
"Yes. We could win this war. You can have your revenge on Geo and the titans and I will get my revenge on the Andersons."
"Hmm. That's not such a bad idea."
"So do we have a deal?"
Slade thinks and says, "Of course." He walks to Smith and extends his hand for a handshake. Smith gladly extends his hand and the two shook hands.
"Good." Smith said.
"But we won't be doing this alone."
"What do you mean?"
"We need members. I'm talking about an alliance. We need everyone from Jump City to join us."
"Brilliant idea, Slade. But let me introduce you to my companions that will be our first members of the Slade/Smith Alliance."
Out of the shadows came out three other agents. Smith says, "Allow me to introduce you to Agent Johnson, Agent Brown, and Agent Thompson. Now all we need is more people to join."
"Indeed. Tomorrow at the penitentiary, I will show you the people that would be allowed to join us. And until then, nothing will stop us."
Agent Smith gave an evil Smirk as he agrees with Slade. The Slade/Smith alliance will be unstoppable to the Titans and the Andersons.
