Dials of Time
=============
Speeding down the road, a small cube was riding in his new updated digital car.
"Man that last upgrade was great! I thought I would never get this baby."
Whizzing past Dot's Diner and heading towards the infamous city of Lost Angles, the citizen of
Mainframe had no idea where he was. Then, he saw them. Thousands of nulls swarming all over.
"What in the blue f...", before he could finish, they overtook him and sucked his energy out.
* * *
Meanwhile, in another part of Lost Angles, a masked figure watched the event.
"Hmmm...the nulls have been acting very peculiar lately. That's the 10th one this week."
The masked figure was Hexidecimal, ruler of Lost Angles and "sister" of Megabyte. A feeling of
dread swooped over her as more nulls moved toward her home.
"Why the hell are they doing all this? And HOW are they doing all this? They are just NULLS!"
The nulls moved in closer. Hexidecimal knew that they had a peculiar habit of teaming together to
make odd shapes.
This time, however, they didn't. They seemed to be acting like individuals...As if they each had
a mind of their own...
"But...but that can't be. They are JUST NULLS!"
Closer and closer they came. Hexidecimal knew she couldn't just sit there and let them get her.
She flew out of her home to confront the slug-like nulls.
"YOU LITTLE BASTARDS! COME AND GET SOME!
They attacked. Hexidecimal started flinging them every which way. She used all her powers to try
and stop the little beasts but it was all for naught. They began to overtake her and sap her
powers.
"I...*groan*...I can't believe...I'm beaten by...nulls..." and with that she gave a
shudder and fell silent onto the street of Lost Angles...
* * *
Somewhere in Mainframe...
"Hmm...I wonder how Hexidecimal is doing?" a deep voice boomed. "HACK! SLASH! Come here!"
It was Megabyte.
Two robots appeared. One was blue and the other red.
"Yes boss?" they both asked.
"I want you to activate my feed to Lost Angles. I must see how my...heh heh..."sister" is doing."
"Ok. Boss, sure. No problem"
"Gotcha Boss. It's all under control. Be right back."
Both robots had a bad habit of talking at the same time. Megabyte sighed deeply as the two
sped away fighting over who would activate the feed.
"Damn robots. Why do I count on them so much?"
From some speakers overhead, two voices broke the silence and startled Megabyte out of his daze.
"Feed all ready Boss!"
"It was no problem."
"*sigh* I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING DO THAT!" The evil virus screamed at them. "Fine. Start it up."
"We did Boss. It's all set."
"It's all set. We did Boss."
Four screens appeared in front of Megabyte. His mouth dropped at what he saw. The whole city of
Lost Angles was crawling with nulls.
"What...What the hell?"
Suddenly a null appeared in front of the camera. It reared back and struck. The screen went dead.
"This...this is not happening. HACK! SLASH! Feed me over to Hexidecimal's lair! NOW!"
The third VidWindow switched over to the vicinity of Hex's lair. Megabyte moved the window's
angles until he saw something that caught his eye.
"What in the hell?" He peered closer into the screen. There was a faint color of red on the
ground. He zoomed in and gasped. It was Hexidecimal.
"WHAT HAPPENED THERE?!" Megabyte felt more for his "sister" now than ever. The events of the past
had brought him and her closer together than ever.
Megabyte looked back into his memory banks to when he and Hexidecimal had almost been permanently
deleted after the web creature combined them together into Gigabyte.
"This is not happening. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!?"
Megabyte got into his limousine and headed off towards Lost Angles. He didn't know, however, that
he was being followed...
* * *
In Lost Angles...
The world around her felt missing. She felt only the hard ground. Hexidecimal was coming to.
Her head was spinning and she somehow managed to pull herself up off the ground.
She noticed the discoloration of her body except for her chest. The very center of her chest.
She felt very odd. Like she was far away and her body was detached. She began to move. Looking
down the street she noticed other people moving. The others that were attacked. They all were
heading in the direction of the city of Mainframe...and each one had only a spot of color on the
center of their chest...
