*Note- This takes place after the events of Matrix Reloaded

Chapter 1: The 5 Chosen Ones

Intro: After the slaughter of the ships during the surprise attack on the sentinel's one lone survivor was found. He was found out to be a version of Agent Smith. Neo was blacked out as a result of him stopping the sentinels during their escape. Neo later woke up and defeated Agent Smith once and for all in the real world and the matrix. Neo has found out that he can short circuit machines in the real world and the council of machines are getting very worried.

I.

The machines communicated by securing a completely safe connection. The machines who participated in this meeting were part of the machine council who were the creators of the matrix and they are in charge of making sure everything keeps functioning the way it should.

"We must put an end to this version of "the one" stated the first machine named Astor.

"Yes this one is different, he has powers that can be used out of the matrix" replied the second council member Jonty.

"One positive thing about this mishap is that he finally got rid of that rouge program named Smith" said Thane.

"You are correct about that. None of our agents can even scratch him. I think we need to use our system emergency plan" advised Astor.

"Yes that is most wise, lets go over what that plan is again." Started Thane "The system emergency plan was created in the case that the anomaly had gotten out of hand. He had already rejected the offer to rebuild Zion. We threatened that we would shut everyone off the matrix but that was just a bluff. He might of known that we were bluffing or not but the fact of the matter is, is that we thought we could destroy him in the real world but we have now found out that it is no longer possible. He destroys all sentinels that get within a couple miles of Zion. Our agents are no match. We have only one thing that could top his power. We need to unleash the previous "ones". If you all remembered we copied the previous "ones" data in case of an emergency such as this. When the "ones" decided to give in and choose the new people to rebuild Zion they gave in to all of our commands. They knew they had no other options and that they would have to follow all of our orders if they wanted the human race to last. At one point we sent them into the reprint room. There we copied all of their data which enables us to reproduce them 100% accurately. It is like we can bring them back to life.

"Were they as powerful as this current "one"? Asked Astor

"That can not be determined" answered Thane "We assume that they are since all of the "ones" are reincarnations or one another. But only time will tell. Our plan is to bring them back to be under our control and put a stop to this menace. We must get rid of him or we will never be able to destroy Zion. If that city grows for much longer they will be able to destroy us."

"The reprint "ones" can only be used in the matrix though. We will have to find out a way to keep Neo in there so they can fight him without him escaping into the real world where our programs can't get to him." explained Jonty.

"I'll handle that" said Astor with great satisfaction.

II.

The city of Zion was expanding. After Neo found a way to eliminate any machine threats the city had a chance to prosper. New ships were being built. More and more weapons to fight the machines were being created. They were freeing more and more people from the matrix. Things were looking good until some startling news came up.

"Morpheus we have a problem!" said Link

"What is it?" said Morpheus

They were in the nebbacanezer in the main control room. Link was staring at one of the monitors in shock. Lines of code ran down the screen but to Link it was like he was watching a movie.

"People in the matrix are dying at an alarming rate" said Link.

"Why what happened? Is a war going on? Did some bomb go off?" asked Morpheus.

"Neither. There is some man doing it. It's not an agent because he is much more powerful than that. His stats are off the charts!" said Link.

"Do you think that the machines unleashed him? It doesn't seen likely that the machines would send a killing machine out there. They need as many humans as they can get." said Morpheus looking very confused. "We better inform Neo. He should enter the matrix and see what is going on."

Morpheus walked down the long corridor that was the ships main hall. Lights were flickering on and off and there was a very metallic smell in the air. Morpheus checked Neos room but he wasn't in there. He walked down to the dining area and found him eating with Trinity. They both saw him enter and they said "hi".

"I've got some news for both of you" said Morpheus with concern in his voice. "There are some mass killings happening in the matrix and the one who is behind it is some unknown man most likely sent or controlled by the machines. He is immensely strong and I know it sounds shocking but it looks like this guy could actually be a challenge to you Neo."

"Are you sure it's not an agent?" asked Neo

"There is no way an agent could have that much power. This guy looks like he can manipulate fire and explosives." said Morpheus.

"I'll go check it out" said Neo

They walked to the control room where they enter the matrix.

"Neo be careful" said Trinity

"Don't worry I can handle a rouge program. He doesn't know who he's about to deal with. I am the "one". Said Neo with great confidence. "Let's lock and load. Link, send me to a location as close as you can get to this guy."

"You got it Neo" said Link

Neo arrived in a phone booth on the corner of Kings Street. From his location he could hear screaming. Neo ran towards the noise. As he looked down the street he could see it was in complete ruins. People were lying dead in the street, blood was dripping down the walls, and many of the buildings were on fire. In the corner of his eye he could see a man down the street wearing red leather pants, with black charcoaled shoes. He was wearing no shirt. He was immensely muscular and had fire in his eyes. Neo ran towards him with full speed. At that moment the mysterious man took off and started to fly. Neo immediately started to follow him. After following him for 10 minutes they both landed in a steel mill.

"So you're the current one" said the man "I can't believe you reincarnated from me! I'm going to show you that the original is always best."

*****Well that's the end of Chapter One. Hope you like it so far. The intro was made to wrap up the questions from Matrix Reloaded. I quickly glossed over the whole agent Smith thing so I can get on with my story. Of course the next chapter will describe the fight between the two "ones". Who will win? You will have to stay tuned to find out. Please review this saying if you liked it or not and please post any suggestions. *****
