Everyone has been falling for a few minutes now. All of them have wondered when this free fall ends.
Jake: HHHHHOOOOWWWW LLLLOOOONNNNGGGGG IIIIISSSSS TTTTHHHHIIISSS RRRRIIIIDDDEEEE!?
Natalie: YYYYYYOOOOOUUUUU TTTTTTEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL MMMMMEEEEEE!
Everyone suddenly stops in the middle of the fall, causing the team to land with a thud.
Everyone: OW!
Spike: Who stop the fall?
Specter: What is taking so long? Didn't I programmed you to be a better computer virus?
Grid core: Everyone was going fine until you decided to use a non compatible software.
Specter: IMPOSSIBLE! THERE'S MUST BE SOME WRONG IN YOUR CODE!
Grid core: I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE SUPER SMART MONKEY!
Specter: I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING! DON'T MAKE ME SCRAP YOU!
Kei: This is getting out of hand...
Grid core: FOOL! MY CODE IS ESSENTIAL TO THE VIRUS TECH TOURNAMENT! YOU WOULD BE GIVING THE ENEMY THE ADVANTAGE!
Jimmy: my ears are hurting...
Pipopchi: peepo...
Specter: FINE! IF WILL MAKE YOU SHUT UP, I WILL HAVE MY MINIONS MAKE SOFTWARE THAT US COMPATIBLE!
Shortly after the fall, an message had appeared saying "an error has occurred. please wait."
Yumi: Now what?
Casi: perhaps we should use the time we have to tell the experience we have gone through.
Natalie: Is now really the time?
Helga: what else can we do?
Natalie: well we could do... maybe we should... I got nothing.
Casi: Spike, Helga, what was your marriage like?
Helga: Well it's complicated, but ok. 5 years ago, I heard that my father was in a car accident and was rushed to a hospital. I learned about the medical bills I would need to pay, 999.000$. I was in luck as the high tech tournament was starting, but I only made it to 4th place. I thought dad and I were done for.
Jimmy: What happened after that?
Helga: Spike also entered and won 1st place, winning the money I need. The next day, I invited him over to my house and told him why I needed the money.
"5 years ago"
Spike: Anyone one home?
Helga: Just me.
Spike: Why did you text me?
Helga: I have 2 confessions to make.
My dad is in the hospital and We need the money to pay back the bills, I was wondering if you could give it the to me?
Spike: I am more than happy to help you with your problem, take all the money you need. What is the other confessio-
Helga: I love you.
Spike: Wait, SERIOUSLY?
Helga: Yes.
Spike: Truth be told, I love you too.
(insert making out scene here)
Casi: aww so cute.
Spike/Helga: WE'RE NOT CUTE!
Casi: Don't deny it.
Spike/Helga: SHUT UP!
Casi: Anyways What about you yumi? how did you become a popstar.
Yumi:It's not pretty what I had to go through.
Jimmy: What do you mean?
Yumi: Before the release of happy sensation, I was severely overworked.
Everyone: WAIT, THEY DID WHAT?!
Yumi: That's the tip of the iceberg, I once saw a another girl passed out because they weren't allowed to eat, drink, or sleep.
Kei: I thought a sport teem member was exhausting...
Yumi: The management was basically non existent. There was no one to really alert when things got out of hand, and things were ALWAYS out of hand.
Jimmy: How come I never witnessed or heard anything like that? I work with you Yumi.
Yumi: That's they get you. They promise everything then they give you nothing.
Spike: Why can't you just leave them?
Yumi: They will anyanything and I do mean ANYTHING to make you sure you're not going anywhere. Lawsuits, harassment, threats, nothing crosses the line.
Casi: Why can't the government do something to stop it?
Yumi: With the exception of a few laws, nothing really.
Casi: This horrifies me. But maybe when Specter is defeated, we can set things right.
Yumi: Hopefully.
Jimmy: If I knew what I was getting into, I would never had sign on.
Casi: Kei, what was it like getting in the baseball team?
Kei: Oh that, it took a lot of me trying to get in.
Natalie: How did you make it?
Kei: I had to join a sports university south of Tokyo where I studied baseball for 4 years.
Jake: How well has it been for you?
Kei: It's always 50/50. Sometimes we are unstoppable, and other times the opposing team wipes the floor with us.
One thing for sure, our is a complete and total scumbag.
Spike: What your problem with the guy?
Kei: this guy has just about everything wrong. He underpays us, he verbally abuses us, he even hits us on rare occasions.
Yumi: What makes this situation different from mine?
Kei: What if I were to tell you... that this man is part of the yakuza.
Everyone: WHAT!
Kei: I wish I was kidding about this one.
Jimmy: How do you know this?
Kei: I was in a meeting with the rest of my teammates. I was early and was able to hear a conversation about my manager and an unknown affidavit, saying about arms/drug dealing and money laundering.
Helga: What are we going to do about that?
Kei: I wish a knew.
Casi: This is getting terrifying, Maby Natalie and Jake will lighting things up?
Natalie: Well, I honestly don't know what to say. I could be "Jake and I mange to be the new owners of the lab and we tried very har-
Specter: Alright: I have made a new program that is compatible with your coding, Grid Core.
Grid Core: Took you long enough.
Specter: DON'T MAKE ME SCRAP YOU!
Grid: No more distractions. All of you, PREPARE TO DIE!
Once again the pipit opens up and the group is free falling.
Everyone: NNNNNNNOOOOOOTTTTTTT AAAAAAGGGGGIIIIIAAAAAAANNNNNN!
