OK, I have decided that my failed attempt at copying and pasting did not do this story any justice. I have decided to fix it up and make it into the glory I intended it to be.
I have to redeem this series after the horrifying Netflix special that aired. We need to give these characters life.
Please review at the end and let me know how I did. This was written MANY YEARS ago.
Chapter One: Shut down
Mainframe
Mainframe was in a state of shut down. There was nothing going on throughout the system as binomes were scared of what was to come. No one could escape Mainframe and it was the same as nearly a megacycle ago. They had all heard that Megabyte had taken control of the Principle Office.
But what was it that he wanted so much? He obviously wanted all those who were at some level, in command of the system.
Seven cycles had passed…and they were all still trapped inside.
Megabyte stood proudly in the war room that had once contained him inside the firewall. It was where Dot Matrix had commanded her forces against him for the entire cycle before he took control.
He was proud, staring at the VidWindow as he showed that the now grown child, AndrAIa and web surfer Ray Tracer were locked away tightly in the cell-block. Her hands were bound by laser cuffs to the wall.
"Ah, the lovely AndrAIa," he spoke and she looked up at him, anger in her luscious blue eyes. "And how are we doing today?"
"Spare me virus," she snapped and kicked the VidWindow away from her. "When I get out of here…"
"You won't," he said, toying with her. "But don't worry. I'm sure that your boyfriend, Matrix will surely be glad to join you soon. Just wait."
His viral troops that were guarding them, slapped the surfboard that was chained to the wall.
Ray Tracer was lying on the floor beside her. As long as they had his surfboard in possession, he wouldn't be going anywhere.
"Leave him alone Megabyte!" AndrAIa shouted. "Stop it!"
They hit him again after he signaled them to do so and stopped as the troopers left the cell-block.
Megabyte shut the window and stared. His drones were still searching the Principle Office for the others, Bob, Mouse, and Enzo and Dot Matrix. They were still loose inside his stronghold.
"You can run, but you cannot hide Guardian," he chuckled. "Where are you hiding?"
Viral troops were searching throughout the Principle Office for the rest of the Mainframers that were loose inside. They checked the hallway that had once been the chapel where Dot Matrix nearly married Megabyte.
One of the soldiers sent his pong drone away to search the rest of the hall.
Hidden up in the pipes of another passageway, Guardian Bob and Matrix were hiding until the drone bounced off all the walls of the passage and continued on into another.
They emerged, crashing to the marble floor.
"We've got to get out of the Principle Office," Bob said. "We have to regroup and get some outside assistance if we are going to get Megabyte."
"No," Matrix demanded. "I'm not leaving until I get AndrAIa out of the cells."
"You don't even know which cell-block to check," Bob said. "I'm sure that Megabyte hasn't harmed her. He wants all of us together first."
"I can't take that risk," Matrix replied. "Who knows who else he has in his collection? Dot? Mouse? Surfer?"
"That is the risk that we are going to have to take in order to get out and defeat Megabyte," he told his friend. "Please."
"You do it your way," Matrix told him, "and Gun and I will do it our way." He took off.
Bob called out to him, but a drone came back in his direction. He immediately dashed into the Read Only room and waited for the drone to pass. He exhaled and slid down to the floor in tired frustration.
"We're never going to make it out of here," he said.
Mouse was still with Dot as they were nearly free from the Principle Office. All they had to do was escape into the narrow hall and out the front door.
"We're almost out of here sugar," Mouse said. "We have to get going."
"But, what about Bob? Matrix? AndrAIa? We can't just leave them here," Dot protested and stopped her second-in-command from jerking her out the door.
"We have to, but we'll get them back honey," Mouse promised. "But we need to get word to the outside that Megabyte is in the Principle Office. Turbo and the Guardians will know what do to then."
"I hope so," she replied.
Just as they were about to round the corner, the outside patrollers were on their way in to report. They marched slowly toward them.
"What do we do now?" Dot asked in panic.
Mouse pulled out her katana blade and gripped it tightly in hand. "Come on!" she shouted and yanked Dot around the corner.
The viral troops opened fire on them with their staffs, but Mouse blocked the shots while still holding onto Dot's wrist. Dot kicked a few of them down and was yanked again as they made one last burst for the door.
The doors were closing slowly, but Mouse howled as she tried to get out.
As they were just reaching the door, Mouse howled at the pain in her side. She had been blasted by one of the troops, but they still sprung off the steps and rolled down the stairs.
Dot got her senses back into focus and saw that Mouse was fading lightly. She was wounded in trying to get her out of the Principle Office. "Mouse," she said and tended to her friend. "Hang on Mouse."
"This is ain't nothing honey," Mouse replied. "Just a scratch compared to what my worst is." She howled as she forced herself to her feet. "At least we're out of there."
"We have to get you to a doctor," Dot told her. "I'll call Turbo in the meantime."
They found a zipboard and used that to fly away from the Principle Office.
Megabyte watched as his prey Dot Matrix and the hacker Mouse glide away from the Principle Office. He was none to happy with his viral troops in letting them escape.
But that still meant that the Guardian and Renegade were still in the Principle Office.
"I had best speed up my pursuit in order and finish this hunt at once," Megabyte planned to himself. "No doubt the lovely Dot Matrix will call for help from the Guardians. But when she does, I will lock the portal that they use to arrive and infect the Supercomputer. Nothing can stop me."
The siren went off and his focused in one the activity on level nine. The renegade Matrix was running through the hallway trying to outrun his troops.
"There you are," he said and walked out of the war room.
