"Mouse.. we don't have TIME for a tour right now!! We have to make plans for the rebellion. As long as Megabyte has..." she stopped. She couldn't say the name of her old, dear friend. Not after what had happened to him. She held in a sob, "As long as Megabyte has The Head...we're helpless!"
Al perked up, "The Head?? WHAT?!" he asked. He turned to Head, "There are others??" and waited for an answer, "What do you mean you don't know?!?! You're supposed to know everything!!"
Dot looked at Al, and Steve shook his head, "Don't ask... just don't ask.."
"This.. Megabyte... what is he??" Undertaker asked.
"He's a dominating virus. He's destroying our city," Dot replied. "So is his sister, but she isn't as bad. At least she's not evil. She's just...very confused..."
"Confused. Yes. I know about confused people..." Undertaker replied, and glanced quickly at Al.
"Can we help?!?!" Al asked eagerly.
"Would you?!!" Dot asked hopefully.
"NO!! We are NOT getting involved!" Steve snapped quickly.
The Undertaker looked at him, "You should not presume to speak for the rest of us, Austin!" he replied, then turned to Dot, "Yes... I will help..."
"Head and I will do what we can!!" Al said.
Mouse looked up at Edge, "What about you, sugah?"
Edge thought for a moment, then nodded.
Everyone turned to Steve, waiting for his answer. "What?? Why should I get involved with some war in some place which isn't even supposed to exist anyway?!?!" Steve shouted.
"Austin...If you don't help, you will REST IN PEACE!" The Undertaker threatened.
Austin glared at The Undertaker for a moment, "You don't scare me, dead man. If I do help, it'll be of my own accord!!"
Dot smiled, "Steve... you can stay here if you don't want to fight. That's ok..."
"DON'T WANT TO FIGHT?!!" Steve snapped, annoyed with the command.com's words. "I'm always ready to open up a can of whoop Ascii on ANYONE! Fine then... I'll fight!!"
Dot's smile widened, "THANK YOU!" she said happily.
"I'll help find THE HEAD!!" Al offered.
Dot nodded, "Ok... well.. we'll have to work on a plan to find The Head together... but that is also going to involve Megabyte," Dot sighed, "and then there's Hexadecimal... she doesn't plan attacks. She just strikes without warning."
"I will take care of this Hexadecimal if you lead me to her..." Undertaker said.
Dot looked at The Undertaker. He was offering to go straight into the Lion's Den. But judging by his size and attitude, he did look like he could handle the chaotic virus.
