Chapter 3

Welcoming Committee

The gummi ship soared through space at high speeds. It ducked, dived, and dodged fire from the enemy gummis as the Highwind flew through all of Small Island. The ship turned around, going for another pass at a giant heartless that made its way around the small rock in space. It resembled an overgrown spider with a giant cannon on top.

"Sora! Watch where you're going!" Donald yelled as he grabbed the controls out of Sora's hands narrowly avoiding a shot from one the giant heartless. Sora quickly grabbed the controls out of the hands of the enraged duck and turned around again as the ship past the giant heartless.

"Donald!" he said, "You're not a backseat driver!" The ship flew under the giant spider who took another shot at the small ship. Sora was less fortunate this time, as the ship rocked back and forth out of control.

"Aah!" he yelled, "Destiny Island is that way!" he pointed to a star in the distance. The ship careened out of control and hurtled towards a world that the three never noticed before. It was completely black on one side as green lines made their way down to the center, while the other resembled a baron wasteland.

"We're going to crash into that dump!" Donald cried as the ship slowly hurtled towards black half. The ship tossed as it slowly entered the world, crashing into pavement and destroying a building with it. Within the gummi ship; Sora, Donald, and Goofy lay on the ground half confused and half awake.

"Gawrsh! We just keep falling today don't we?" Goofy said jokingly. Sora stood up and rubbed his head. Donald still lay unconscious. He patted himself down and stepped out of the gummi ship. The damage was not so bad; the ship still had its wings and engines intact so at least it would get off the ground.

"Sora! Where'd you get the new duds?" Goofy asked as he steeped out of the damaged ship.

"What?" Sora looked down and saw he was no longer in his black clothes. Though they had retained the color black; his coat was now down to his feet, the sleeves to his arms, and lacked a hood. Instead, there was a collar that was flapped up. IN addition, he now had black shades that covered his eyes, and his oversized shoes were exchanged with smaller black shoes. Finally, his shorts had been replaced by pants and his hair had been combed down.

"My clothes!" he said in sock. He turned to look at Goofy who was wearing a similar coat over purple clothes and had glasses that stayed over his eyes. Donald took a step out of the wreckage and roared in anger when he saw his clothes. It was a black suit with a blue tie that was clipped to the under shirt.

"Hey!" he yelled, "why didn't I get a cool outfit!" Donald went into a blind jumping up and down rage and failed to notice three men appear behind dressed the same way he was. They each had shades and neatly combed hair, and eyed the three with semi interest.

"Three new threats," the one in the center said, "should we proceed?"

"They don't have any weapons," the one on the right said, "But they don't look like they're from here."

"Redpills no doubt," the last said, "we have orders to-"

"-eliminate-"

"-redpills."

"Well then," the one in the middle said, "would you kindly show these redpills the way out of the system, Jackson, Thompson."

The two men who flanked the man in the center approached the three. Sora drew his keyblade and Goofy drew his shield. Donald on the other hand had difficulty drawing his staff.

"What the!" he cried in outrage, constantly trying to get his staff to appear. Jackson approached Donald and threw him into a wall. Donald slid down unconscious. Jackson and Thompson then turned on Sora who took a step back.

"Humans are no-"

"-Match for us," then with little effort, Thompson kicked Sora in the face, who fell to the ground. Sora slowly got up but felt the foot of the man on his neck. The foot pressed hard down on Sora, who was forced to lie on the ground with his back up.

"It's a shame."

"We could have used you."

Goofy charged at the man named Thompson but was sent flying into the opposite wall by Jackson. Sora closed his eyes hopelessly and waited for the finishing blow to come, except it never came. Instead, someone flew from nowhere and knocked Thompson off of Sora. Sora looked up and saw a man dressed similarly to him.

"Are you all right?" the man asked turning to face Sora. He kneeled down and extended his hand. Sora grabbed it and was pulled up. The man examined Sora, Donald and Goofy before turning to face the two men who were regrouping behind the middle.

"It's him."

"Do we proceed?" Thompson asked.

"Yes, he's still," Jackson stated.

"Only human," Johnson added. Johnson then lunged at the newcomer who quickly sent him back flying at the other two. The other two fell back as Johnson landed on them. The new man then turned to face Sora.

"Grab your friend and get out of the matrix!" he ordered. Sora looked from Donald to Goofy and asked, "Out of what?"

"Never mind, I'll set up a link for you," he pulled an odd device out of his pocket and opened. He put it to his ear and said, "Operator! I need an exit for three people."

Elsewhere, a man stared at the screen in front of him. With him were two other people; a bald, middle-aged man with dark skin; and a young white woman with dark hair.

"Three?" the man asked.

"Yeah, three," came the voice of Neo, "these boys in front of me."

"I don't know," the man said uneasily, "they aren't reading like us."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, they don't read like humans or agents. Hell, they don't even look like files in the matrix."

"Well then what are they?"

"They're probably viruses."

"Should I destroy them?"

"Don't bother. Those old agents are bigger threats."

"Alright, what should I do?"

"Get them out of there. An enemy of an agent is a friend of ours."

"Alright," Neo said. The man turned to face the black man and white woman.

"Maybe we should hook ourselves back into the matrix?" the man said first.

"Neo can handle himself Morpheus," the woman replied.

"Alright then," the man named Morpheus responded by stepping out of the room. Trinity turned to face a third man, who lay fast asleep in a chair. In the back of the chair was a long cable that extended into a long pillar in the center of the room. The ewoman grabbed his hand and rubbed it gently.

"He'll be fine," she said.
