The Power of an Agent
Disclaimer: I do not own the Matrix, blah, blah, blah. Any characters, plots, etc created by me is MINE! You understand? MINE!?!?!
Summary: What if one day, in the Matrix, when a new, super improved version 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 very weak mind-control? What if he could break free, remaining human-yet retaining the powers of the Agent?
Takes place between the Matrix and Matrix Reloaded.

Chapter 1: The Possession...and its Failure.
Shen Long walked grudgingly along the pavement, muttering angrily to himself. It just wasn't fair. After all, when does a teenager ever have a chance to learn from a top hacker infamous for breaking through many of the databases on the net?
He had requested that his father let him stay at home for that Friday. The only problem was that once his dad found him using the computer, his dad blew his top and made him go to school. At 10 am, when his school began at 7! Shen Long shook his head and screamed silently. He remembered how had it had all begun .
A few months ago, a friend introduced him to the many forums hackers frequent. He eventually caught the bug and became interested in this stuff. Especially when he managed to hack into his cousin's computer (which had no firewall) and steal his homework for school. It was cool, especially when he saw the look on his cousin's face through the web camera that he had installed atop his monitor.
Shen Long had hated the way he looked before, but now he had to thank his looks for it. He had the typical 'hacker' look, as his friend put it. He had hair similar to the Beatles if he didn't style it with gel or wax, a skinny build, tall and yet not very imposing. He had a trace resemblance to a certain Japanese actor, but that wasn't much. His large almond-shaped eyes were sepia-coloured, but they were so dark that they appeared black.
That was Shen Long. All he was missing was the huge, black-rimmed glasses that stereotyped nerds always seemed to wear, and he would join their ranks as one of the most socially deprived people on Earth.
Anyhow, a few weeks ago, he discovered something that everyone appeared to be talking about. The Matrix. He didn't really know what it was, but it sounded interesting, so he decided to ask around. After a few humiliating scenarios of getting kicked out of every database he'd tried to hack into, a hacker he had heard about for his famous escapades, approached him personally and even offered to take him under his tutelage.
He was shocked, and then agreed. After all, no one was about to refuse an appointment with Ghost. He was told, that to be a good hacker, one couldn't put their handle as S/L. He had to choose a different name. After a few moments of searching, he got it.
Remembering a certain favorite character from a computer game that he had played a long time ago...Starcraft it was, and he had liked the name of the character's battleship.
It was Hyperion. And so that became his alias from now on.
Smiling to himself for that stroke of genius, he suddenly tripped onto a rock and fell flat on his face. Wincing, he got up slowly while trying to stem the blood from his split lip. That was when he saw them.
'They' were right in front of his school's entrance. About thirty feet away from him, the man and the woman in question was running, or rather sprinting, away. Both of them appeared to have no lack of stamina and they continued running like their lives depended on it.
Shen Long realized that it did, as he saw two men approximately fifty feet behind them, wearing suits and sunglasses chasing after the man and the woman.

It was just then that he suddenly felt a prickle about his body, similar to the manner to how static electricity feels. It suddenly grew into a full- blown electric shock, and he began to shake like a vibrating pager. His mouth suddenly stretched open by itself.
As he tried to make sense of what was happening, seemingly infinite amounts of information began pouring into his head, such as every single fighting technique in the world, the latest strategies and tactics. There was even a picture from the Karma Sutra appearing briefly in his mind. It all seemed to come from his ear, and when he touched it, he felt a plastic hearing piece as well.
As if that wasn't enough, he began losing his mind as well. He was suddenly plagued with thoughts that he was not Shen Long, but a new, improved Hyper Agent of the Mainframe
He was now Agent John, and he now wore a crisp black suit complete with sunglasses. Agent John now had a fairly muscled body, but his powers were almost infinitely beyond that. Shen Long didn't know why he changed his name, but he didn't care anyway. He felt numb all over, and he slowly lost control of his limbs...
An excruciating pain suddenly flashed into the back of his head; he had only felt something like this when he was only seven, and slowly everything came back to him. The numbness evaporated, and he knew that he was not Agent John, and a nanosecond passed before the suit, sunglasses and hearing aid vanished.
Only his changed figure remained, and a sweating Shen Long, stuffed full with information in his head, slowly picked himself off the ground a second time.
Shen Long wasn't just puzzled. He was in turmoil over what had just happened to him, and his eyes grew wide as he saw his new muscled frame.
