V 1.0: Prologue

My eye! The User cut my eye! It hurts so bad! I.. I can't see out of it. Is this the end? Total Nullification? No. No, I won't let it. My icon…

In order to protect Mainframe, my home, AndrAIa and I had to play the Game Cube. A Game Cube is what a User inputs into our system. Nobody knows why they do it. All we know is if we lose the Game inside the Game Cube, the whole sector that the Game lands on is completely shut down. Offline. Totally Nullified!

My name? I am Enzo Matrix. My format? Guardian: To Mend and Defend. I am the successor to my friend, and idol, Bob. Although, I'm just a little Sprite. Nobody believed I could do it at first, but then once I started beating the User at Games, everybody started to believe-even those who spoke against me. I wasn't so sure myself, to be honest. But Bob believed in me and I promised to do my best!

Bob. That's the third time I mentioned him. Bob was a real Guardian. He protected us from the viruses, Hexadismal and Megabreath. Oh, sorry, I guess I should use their real names. That's Hexadecimal and Megabyte.

Some cycles ago, this Web creature opened a portal to the Web. The Web is like… I don't really know how to explain it but it's sort of like this huge space of information, I guess. A portal is something Guardians use to travel to other systems. Anyway, after the Web creature opened the portal, Bob had to team up with Megabyte and Hexadecimal. He made me a Guardian right before Megabyte betrayed him and sent him into the Web when the portal was nearly closed.

Afterwards, Dot, my sister, gave me Glitch-Bob's key tool. A key tool is what Guardians use to create portals and do other neat things. From that point on, I was the Guardian of Mainframe. I swore to protect the system from any danger. The two main dangers were Games and Viruses.

As I said earlier, I entered the Games to protect the System. However, this one Game I entered, I couldn't win. It was a Game called "Gods, Mortals, and Demons". I told AndrAIa to take Frisket to reboot as one of the characters. I was gonna reboot as the character the User chose to fight.

The User chose his character: Zaytan. I missed my first chance to face the User, but I got to see its moves-especially its finishing move. The next three opponents the User chose, I missed rebooting as. The final one, though, I was right: a yellow ninja.

I fought the User with everything I had and beat it once. In the next round, it fought back and beat me. This was it. The next win won. I fought with everything I had again, but the User fought back just as hard. Eventually, it cut my eye.

I had lost. I lost the game. I let everybody down. I let Dot down. I let Phong, Mouse, AndrAIa, and Frisket down. But, most of all, I let Bob down. I had only one option left.

I looked at AndrAIa and Frisket. AndrAIa seemed to know what I was planning. I switched my icon to Game Sprite mode. AndrAIa did the same to hers and Frisket's icons. This way, we wouldn't be nullified.

The User did its finishing move on me. The Game ended. It left Mainframe and took us with it. What now? Now we find our way back to Mainframe. Now we find our way back home.
