Chapter 3

Agent Smith

Neo, Twilight and Starlight were flying to Canterlot Castle to tell Princess Celestia and Princess Luna about a danger to Equestria. Their castle had just been attacked by evil S.W.A.T. soldiers and they knew that Equestria was in danger. But Celestia and Luna were being held hostage by S.W.A.T. soldiers working for a man that wanted to kill Neo and his friends. And he was using the 2 princesses to lure Neo into a trap.

When Neo, Twilight and Starlight got to Canterlot Castle, they hid when they saw S.W.A.T. soldiers standing outside the castle. They realized now that the S.W.A.T. soldiers had already taken over the castle and are probably holding the princesses hostage.

Twilight looked inside a window into the throne room and saw the princesses tied up with devices around their horns. Neo looked in and saw them next to 3 S.W.A.T. soldiers and the man they're working for. Neo took a good look at the man and he recognized him right away.

"Agent Smith," said Neo, glaring angrily.

Twilight and Starlight were shocked.

"You know this human?" asked Twilight.

"Unfortunately I do," Neo replied. "He's one of my worst enemies."

"Who is he?" asked Starlight.

His name is Harvey Smith, also known as Harvey Agent Smith," said Neo.

"But what does he want with the princesses?" asked Twilight.

"It's not the princesses he wants, he wants me."

"Why you?" asked Starlight.

"He wants to kill me. He's been trying to kill me for years."

"But why," asked Twilight. "What does he have against you?"

Neo told them all about Agent Smith's former life.

Years ago Harvey Smith was a district attorney who had prosecuted over 60 criminals and felons. At the time, he lived in Neo's homeland known as the Twilight Zone. And during that period, there was an outbreak of mutants being born or mutation transformations around the Twilight Zone. 3 of the mutants were Neo's friends and roommates, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Felix the Cat.

One day, Harvey Smith was prosecuting Neo's former friend Shao Kahn, who was a mutant man and a mutant rights supporter who had a hatred for normal humans.

During a court hearing, Shao Kahn attacked Harvey by injecting a mutant virus into him. The virus transformed Harvey into a violent person and also gave him special abilities. Because of his mutation, Harvey lost his job, his wife, his residence and pretty much everything.

Although Harvey never had a vendetta against Shao Kahn, he blamed Neo's friend Mickey Mouse for what happened to him because Mickey was the first mutant.

One day, Harvey started going by the name Agent Smith and he tried to kill Mickey Mouse, but Neo stopped him.

Because Neo foiled Harvey's plan to kill Mickey, Harvey now had a vendetta against Neo and had been trying to kill him for years, but Neo had always escaped and Harvey either lost or got arrested. And now that Harvey has learned where Neo lives and who he loves, he has come back to try to kill him again.

Twilight and Starlight were mesmerized by Neo's story of Agent Smith's history, but they knew they had to help stop him and rescue the princesses. Neo was very angry, he wasn't about to lose the alicorn princess he loved so much.

He climbed in through a window while Twilight and Starlight flew over the castle to see if they could stop Agent Smith.

Neo tried to get to the throne room without being seen, but a S.W.A.T. soldier saw him and started shooting. Neo shot the soldier, killing him instantly. Then more S.W.A.T. soldiers shot at Neo, but he did his best to avoid getting shot and he took down the soldiers easily.

But then a solider said, "Stop, or I'll kill them."

Neo looked and saw a S.W.A.T. soldier holding Twilight and Starlight. They were tied up with devices around their horns, disabling their magic.

Neo didn't want them to get hurt so he had to do what the soldiers ordered. The S.W.A.T. soldiers took him and the 2 ponies to the throne room to see their boss Agent Smith.

Will Neo still be able to stop Agent Smith? Find out in the next chapter.
