Gateway

Ch. 12

Ominous

(Dragon Ball Ominous music)

Narrator: Previously on Gateway, Joey tried to download a body part for BULMA after he found a Gateway disc, but a "personal moment" got in the way of doing so… What is this pink beam? But meanwhile in Virtual World, trouble is brewing…

Computer trill sounds are heard all over

Virus: Sire, we've lost track of the one you want deleted.

The MVP (angry): WHAT?! YOU IMBCILES HAD BETTER FIND HER OR ELSE!

Malware: Sire, we're doing the best we can.

The MVP: Quite frankly, I really don't give a crap.

Sigma: They could be dead for all we know. There hasn't been any activity today from them at all.

The MVP: Or they got smart and are doing their downloads elsewhere.

Sigma: I seriously doubt that. Now computer program is untraceable.

The MVP: Where's the next Gateway Disc located at.

Virus: Well that's the problem.

Malware: This may sound a bit strange, but it's in a harbor somewhere.

The MVP: I hate water!

Virus: That's what we we're trying to tell you earlier!

Sigma: Are you sure it's in water?

Malware: Just what do you mean? All my calculations were on target as usual.

Sigma: But that doesn't mean it's not on dry land.

(low buzz sound)

Noah: Sigma does have a point.

Malware: Commander NOAH, what brings you here?

Noah: You idiots cost us 3 Gateway Discs. If BULMA manages to get her entire body downloaded, she'll be in a full human form and you know what happens when a sprite escapes!?

Malware: A little too well…

Virus: PLEASE SIRE, NOT THE DUCT TAPE AGAIN!

Noah: I'm not going to use the duct tape this time.

Virus: *phew* That's a relief…

Noah: I'M GOING TO GO TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE ALL OVER YOUR ASSES!

(Virus and Malware hold each other and scream in horror)

Sigma: Get a hold of yourselves, you buffoons!

Sigma slaps them both

Sigma: Now you idiots find out where that Gateway Disc is located or else!

(low buzz sound, Sigma and Noah leave)

-Sigma's Chamber-

A pink virual sprite is painting her nails

Sigma: Hyperlink! What the hell are you doing?!

Hyperlink: My, are you in a mood today.

Sigma: You would be too, if 2 idiotic virual sprites lost 3 Gateway Discs!

Hyperlink: So what's the big deal, honey? If she wants to leave the Virtual Realm, she's free to. After all, no gal wants ta be locked up in Gateway Disc for 20 some years.

Sigma: THAT'S THE KIND OF THINKING THAT GETS YOU DELETED!

Hyperlink: It's called compassion, Sigma; which is something you obviously lack.

Sigma snarls

Hyperlink: Tell me hon, do you like my nail polish? You've no idea how good ruby red looks on a gal program like me.

Sigma: I DON'T CARE! JUST HELP ME FIND THE GATEWAY DISCS-

Hyperlink: So what, you can terminate her? *sigh* There's no easy way to say this… We've been together for 10 years, but you changed ever since The MVP came…

(Hyperlink caresses Sigma's cheek)

Hyperlink: I'm breaking up with you… I love you… But we're not meant for each other…

Sigma: You mean-

Hyperlink: I'm sorry… But I must… I just hope in the next life, we can be together again; where sprites and CPUs can live amongst others in harmony…

Hyperlink lip kisses Sigma

Hyperlink: Forgive me…

(low buzz, Hyperlink leaves in a pink beam)

Sigma: She dumped me… THAT'S IT!

Narrator: What is Sigma's intentions? Will he go after The MVP, or will Sigma have his sights set on Joey and BULMA? Find out on the next: GATEWAY!
