Chapter 2: Huh?
Pretending to be tired was one thing, actually being tired was another. Enigma realized as she yawned away her sleep. Bob's place was quite comfortable (except for it's bachelor look), as was his bed. Enigma wasn't as tired as she had led on the other night but the second she laid down she was asleep.
Enigma's green eyes fluttered as they adjusted to the bright sunlight of morning. Enigma stretched extending her burgundy arms above her head until she felt a slight pop in her spine. "Mm, that feels nice." Enigma moaned pulling up her leg to stretch followed by the other.
AndrAIa and Enzo approached a smiling Matrix in front of the Principle Office. "You seem oddly cheerful today Sparky." She said.
"What a guy can't smile?" Matrix asked.
Enzo and AndrAIa looked at each other skeptically. "Usually when you smile you're about to shoot something. What is it?" AndrAIa asked.
"I just remembered something that made me laugh." Matrix said.
"What?" Enzo asked.
"Bob has a roommate." Matrix said.
Enigma quickly showered then dressed herself in the clothes she had worn the day before.
"Enzo should be here soon you should get ready." Someone said.
"I agree. Wha-?" Enigma asked spinning around to see a television staring at her. "Who are you?" She asked eyeing it suspiciously
"I'm Mike and if you act now you can get a mystery box." Mike said in an annoying game-show host type of voice. On his face was a small brown box with question marks printed all over. "What's inside? Dirty socks? A gift certificate at Al's? You won't know unless you call now! The mystery box just ninety-nine ninety-nine ninety-nine!"
Enigma reached down and turned a knob on Mike. "Watch My Virus and Me tomorrow at ten." She turned the knob again. "Show her what she's won Diana." "A Bucket o' nothing!" Enigma turned the knob once more. "It's the Looooove Hospital. 'We have your prescription for love'." Mike sang.
"Aah!" Enigma shouted quickly turning Mike back to his original channel.
"Not a soaps fan? How about a documentary on nulls?" Mike asked showing a picture of a fat null on his screen.
"Is there any way to shut you off?!" Enigma asked ready to tear her hair out.
"Nope. My remote ran away a long time ago." Mike said handing Enigma a note.
'Dear Bob,
I can no longer take his incisive voice any longer. Day in and day out constant useless commercials and pointless shows without a plot. I'm sad to tell you that I am leaving you alone with him.
Good luck
Your remote control.
"Now how about the Nome shopping Network?" Mike asked. "Or maybe the Time Channel, all time all the time."
Enigma growled in her throat. Her scowl slowly lifted into a smile that was frightening in a way. "Oh Mike." She sang slowly walking towards him.
"Matrix I can't believe you forgot to mention Mike!" AndrAIa said as they flew on their zip boards towards Bob's apartment.
"I hope Enigma's okay." Enzo said jumping from his zip board on to the ground.
"AAaahhh!" A high pitched scream alerted the three sprites to someone in peril.
"That must be Enigma!" AndrAIa said as they ran towards the source of the scream.
They all came to a halt as they saw a peculiar sight before them. Mike ran at top speed with his hands flailing above his head screaming like at woman.
"Get back here!" Enigma called running after him with a large monkey wrench in her hand. "I promise it won't hurt a bit. I won't feel a thing!" She yelled.
Mike dodged out of Enigma's way as she swung breaking the sidewalk with the wrench's head. "Stay still will ya?" She said picking up her weapon.
"Matrix!" Mike shouted dodging behind him. "Matrix you've got to save me from her! She's insane!"
Enigma stood before the three pushing her hair from her face as she huffed. "Hi (huff huff) guys."
"It seems you've getting along with Mike." AndrAIa said.
"Is that always like that?" Enigma asked pointing the wrench at Mike.
"Yep. Are you ready?" Enzo asked.
"Yeah, I'll take him apart while he's sleeping tonight." Enigma stated dropping the wrench onto the ground. Mike whimpered at the remark and the loud clang of the wrench hitting the ground.
"Where are you guys heading off to?" AndrAIa asked as Enzo opened two zip boards.
"First we're going to the Principle Office to get Enigma registered." Enzo said.
"Registered?" Matrix asked. "She's staying here?"
"Yep, I decided to stay just so that I could see your lovely face everyday." Enigma smiled falsely. Her attitude changed to a more uplifted tone. "I can't wait to get my own icon with my PID code and everything. And afterwards we're going to Dot's for an energy shake, Enzo promised me one yesterday." Enigma said getting onto the zip board.
"Bye guys!" They both called as they flew away.
"You don't like her do you Matrix?" AndrAIa asked smiling up at Matrix.
"Why should I? She almost deleted us!" Matrix said.
"That's not the only reason is it?" AndrAIa said her smile dropping.
"So I'm not the only one who feels it then?" Matrix asked.
"No, there's something familiar about her. As if I know her." AndrAIa said.
"Yeah I've got the same feeling, only I don't trust her." Matrix said his eyes narrowing on the dots in the distance that were Enzo and Enigma.
"Calm down Sparky she hasn't done anything wrong, and Enzo seems to like her so she can't be all that bad." AndrAIa said.
"I don't know. I just don't trust her." Matrix said turning to walk away.
In the Principle Office Enigma and Enzo walked passed Hack and Slash. As Enigma was about to walk pass they held out their arms holding her back.
"Halt! You are not authorized to go beyond this point." Hack said.
"Yeah what he said. Halt!" Slash went on.
"Don't worry guys she's with me." Enzo said.
"Sorry Enzo but we have specific instructions from that guy with the eye-" Hack stopped to think.
"Matrix." Slash said.
"Yeah Matrix, to not permit anyone we don't know in."
Enigma reached out and touched Slash with the tip of her finger. Slash suddenly fell apart gathering into a heap on the floor. She turned and looked a Hack. "Um...you can pass." He said quickly moving out of the way. Enigma gave Hack a wink as she walked by.
"Oh boy that dame's going to be trouble." He said as he began to piece Slash back together.
Enigma sat on an observation table her legs swinging back and forth. She watched almost hypnotically as Enzo played with his yoyo. Making the round body fall down and jerk up once again. Down and up and down and up and down. At her feet Frisket laid on the floor also watching his head moving up and down in time with the yoyo. And on the table in a cage a green null by the name of nibbles did the same.
"Enzo." Phong called as he too began watching the up and down motions of the yoyo.
"Sorry Phong." Enzo said putting away his toy.
"Now, Enigma before I can designate you an icon we must first scan you." Phong said.
"Scan?" Enigma asked a hint of worry in her voice.
"Yes to make sure any viruses that can spread in the system haven't infected you." Phong said.
"Isn't that what you have Bob and Matrix for?" Enigma asked. Enzo stared at her. "Sorry and Enzo for?"
"Yes, but we still must do this. Just lie back, my child. I promise it won't hurt a bit." Phong said.
Shaking slightly Enigma laid backwards. "Enzo would you please hold my hand? I'm frightened for some reason." Enigma said holding out her hand. Enzo gladly grabbed hold of her hand his green fingers intertwined with her burgundy fingers.
Enigma smiled sweetly as she looked into Enzo's eyes. "Thanks Enzo." She said closing her eyes and lying completely prone. Three glowing rings slowly traveled from her toes to her head then back down to her toes. Once the procedure had ended Enigma pushed herself up onto her elbow with a tired look in her eyes.
"Phong does scanning always leave people tired?" Enzo asked as he helped Enigma to sit up completely.
"No, it was me Enzo; I was so frightened it took a lot out of me to hold still." Enigma said. "An energy shake ought to wake me up." She smiled crossing her legs beneath her.
"Well Enigma, other than the fact you can't remember anything you are perfectly fine." Phong said. "Here's your own icon." Phong said removing a black and white icon from his drawer.
"Yea!" She cheered as she held it in her hand. "But where should I put it?" She asked her face instantly moving from excitement to uncertainty.
"Put it anywhere you please my child." Phong said.
"Yeah, I keep mine here." Enzo said pointing out his icon on his hat.
"Ooh yours is different. It's pretty." Enigma said running her finger over his cap.
"Hexadecimal, a friend of mine, gave it to me before she was fragmentized." Enzo said in a low voice full of sorrow.
"Hexadecimal." Enigma whispered playful air fading into a much more serious tone. She slowly traced her finger over the circle, the rhombus, then the triangle of Enzo's red and black icon.
Enigma marveled over the icon a few nanos more before she pulled away and placed her icon on the dip of her collarbone so that it looked like a pendent of an invisible necklace. "How that?" She asked seeking the approval of everyone else. Phong nodded and Frisket braked in agreement. Enzo grabbed Enigma by the hand to help her from the table. "I like it." Enzo said.
Enigma smiled. "Thanks, now c'mon you promised me an energy shake." Enigma said pulling Enzo to the door. "Thanks Phong, 'bye."
Enzo sat with Enigma at the bar of Dot's Diner. "And did I tell you my dad's a null?" Enzo asked.
"A null? Did he lose a game?" Enigma asked.
"No. My dad's gateway suddenly exploded in Mainframe's Twin City, it created Lost Angles and turned him into a null." Enzo explained.
"Wow! Your dad's a null. That's that's.... What was that word again?" Enigma asked.
"Alphanumeric?" Enzo asked as two energy shakes arrived.
"Yeah that's it. You have an interesting and bizarre life here in Mainframe: the two you. The two Bobs-well now it's one again-game cubes falling unpredictably, nulls, Lost Angles Isle, and etcetera. Mainframe is such an exciting place, I like it here." Enigma said expecting the cup before her.
"It's not as exciting as you think." Enzo said watching Enigma's curiosity of the drink.
"Well we're just going to have to change that won't we?" Enigma asked with a wink.
"Go on and try your shake. The only place that has energy shakes that could come close to Dot's is Al's." Enzo said taking a sip from his straw.
"Oh well bottom's up." Enigma said shrugging her shoulders then took a large inhale from the straw.
"Wait don't drink it quickly!" Enzo tried to warn as Enigma took a great swallow. "You'll get a-"
Enigma's eyes suddenly popped open. She drew away from her drink holding her head in her hands. Enigma opened her mouth and released a great scream. "AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone quickly covered their ears from the high pitched scream coming from the young sprites mouth. The windows of the diner shuddered in their frames; cracking with jagged lines then shattered falling outside onto the sidewalk and onto the pedestrians walking by.
Once the chaos ebbed everyone looked in the general direction of Enigma who was resting her head on the counter top. "Ow. That hurt." She mumbled through her panting breath.
"I was trying to tell you if you drink it too quickly you'd get a brain freeze." Enzo said removing his fingers from his ears.
Enigma's head snapped up and turned towards Enzo with her green eyes narrowed to mere slits and her dark red lips curved downward in a scowl. "You could have tried harder." Enigma said with growl.
"Ahem!" Someone said from behind them. Enzo and Enigma turned to see a very irritated Cecil glaring at them. "And how do you intend to pay for all of this?" He asked waving his hand at all of the broken windows and glasses.
"Um put it on my tab. Let's go Enzo." Enigma said grabbing Enzo by the arm and running out of the diner with Frisket at their heels.
"Wait, but you don't have a tab!" Cecil shouted after them.
Enigma leant against a wall slowly regaining her breath. "Enzo where are we?" She asked looking around.
Enzo took a quick glace at the store before him. "We're still in Baudway, just in the shopping district. You could download some new clothes for yourself on your icon." Enzo said.
"My icon?" Enigma asked running her hand over the smooth surface of her icon.
"Yeah watch." Enzo tapped his icon twice and was standing before Enigma in his guardian uniform.
Enigma clapped. "Impressive young guardian, very impressive. What else do you have?" Enigma asked.
Enzo pressed his icon once more. Enigma's and Frisket's eyes grew large as they looked at each other. A small stifled sound escaped Enigma's lips before she fell over backwards in a laughing fit.
Standing before the laughing Enigma and Frisket was Enzo in a pink bunny costume. Enzo placed his hands on his hips. "Go on laugh it up!" He said.
"Alright we will, bah ha ha ha ha ha!" Enigma laughed with tears flowing from her eyes.
"I thought I got rid of this." Enzo muttered as changed back into his normal clothing.
"I'm sorry Enzo I didn't mean to laugh." Enigma said with sincerity. She reached out and pinched his left cheek. "It's just that you are such a cute bunny!" Enzo swatted away Enigma's hand trying his hardest to hold back the blush creeping onto his face. "Well I guess I could pick up a few new outfits." Enigma said heading towards a store.
"How are you going to pay for it?" Enzo asked trying his hardest to steer Enigma away from shopping.
Enigma looked back and smiled. "Trust me." She said in a voice that made the young sprite and his dog quiver in unease. "Enzo come on, I'm going to need an honest opinion." She called back.
"Okay I'll come with you. But after this we're going circuit racing!" Enzo said running to catch up with Enigma.
After seven nanos Enigma stood before Enzo wearing a red cap sleeve tee with black arms and a black pair of skintight shorts that could be easily mistaken for hot pants. On her legs was a pair of knee-highs stockings with a few thin vertical red strips and on her feet she wore a pair of heavy metal ankle boots.
"So what do you think?" Enigma asked turning around for Enzo to judge.
Enzo stared slacked jawed. "I-I-I...um...I like it." He said.
Enigma giggled as she looked at herself in the mirror. In total she had four different outfits stored in her icon and three different pairs of shoes and two pairs of boots. For the time being she felt rather content with herself.
A zero binome walked over to them. "Miss your credits aren't accepted here." She said.
"They're not?" Enigma asked. She bit onto her bottom lip then looked back down at the woman. "My credits are too acceptable here." She said with a deep glow emitting from her eyes.
Enzo and Frisket watched as the binome's eyes flashed green then she nodded her head. "Here's your receipt. Please come again." She said walking away.
"Thank you. Come along now Enzo. You said we were going circuit racing after this." Enigma said walking out of the store as if nothing had actually happened.
Enzo removed the two zip boards and helped Enigma onto hers. Enzo looked up towards her. "You aren't normal are you?" Enzo asked.
"Neither are you young guardian." She smiled her green eyes flashed. "Don't worry Enzo, I'm not up to anything...yet."
To Matrix it had felt like Enigma had leaved in Mainframe for minutes. It was as if every nano he saw her and Enzo playing around. Either they were circuit racing, playing jet ball, tag on the zip boards, or on boring days sitting in Enzo's room watching 'Dad'.
"Matrix are you still moping around?" Bob asked seated across from Matrix and AndrAIa at Al's.
"I'm not moping. I'm trying to figure out this Enigma girl." Matrix said.
"What is there to find out about her? She has no memory so chances are we know more than about her than she does." Bob said.
"Besides she hasn't done anything wrong as of lately and everyone- minus you Matrix- loves her. I'm glad Enzo has someone to play with now." AndrAIa said. Matrix muttered something under his breath.
"What was that?" AndrAIa asked.
"So am I." Matrix said louder.
A vidwindow popped up before them. "Guys I'm here with Phong at the Principle Office, you've got to come over immediately." Dot said. The three sprites nodded their heads and left the dingy place.
"I wonder what it is." AndrAIa said getting onto her bike. Bob shrugged his shoulders as he got into his car.
"It must be important if Dot stops in the middle of her busy schedule." Matrix said sitting down in the passenger seat of Bob's car.
It wasn't long before everyone stood in Phong's office awaiting the important news. "So what is it Phong?" Bob asked.
"I am afraid a virus is in Mainframe." Phong said.
"A virus?!" Everyone yelled.
"But how did it go undetected?" AndrAIa asked.
"I do not know my child." Phong said dropping his head.
"Do you know what and where it is?" Bob asked.
"We do." Dot said her face primed with worry.
"It's not what and where we need to know but who?" AndrAIa said.
"Enigma." Matrix scowled the young sprite's name.
"It can't be Enigma she was scanned!" AndrAIa said.
"Somehow she bypassed the scan." Phong said.
"Are you sure it is her?" Bob asked.
"Oh yeah she's a virus alright." Someone said from behind them. Everyone looked in the direction of Hack and Slash.
"You knew she was a virus?" Phong asked with surprise.
"Yep!" Hack said. "We've been around viruses most of our lives."
"You kinda pick up a feel for them." Slash said. "We felt it when we first met Enigma."
"Why didn't you tell us!" Dot demanded.
Hack and Slash looked at each other then faced the group. "You didn't ask." They said together.
Everyone groaned as they dropped their heads dismissing the two goons. "I knew I felt something strange about her!" Matrix said slamming his fist to the desk.
"Where is she now?" Bob asked.
"With Enzo." AndrAIa said staring blankly as if in a mild state of shock.
Enzo sat before Dot's with his head in his hands. He with a help of a few binomes had looked everywhere but he couldn't find hid not hair of Enigma.
"Bored guardian?" A voice asked.
Enzo and the binomes looked around and saw no one from which the voice could have came from. "Enigma?" Enzo asked.
A form slowly appeared into sight until Enigma sat beside Enzo leaning back on her elbows and her legs crossed.
"Enigma!" Everyone shouted with joy.
"Where have you been? We've been looking all over for you." Enzo asked standing up.
"Exploring the lower levels. You wouldn't believe how many nulls I saw down there." Enigma said standing up with a little help from Enzo. "So Enzo what shall we do today? Jet ball, steal Matrix's eye?" Enigma asked.
The binomes rushed over to the two sprites. "Do it Enigma!" "Yeah do it!" "Please." They shouted.
Enigma looked into everyone's pleading eyes or eye. She looked over at Enzo.
"C'mon Enigma, we're dying of boredom." Enzo said.
Enigma sighed. "Oh alright. You guys are going to get me caught one day." She said. "You four!" She shouted pointing at four binomes. Her eyes glowed for a brief second as her pointing fingers emitted a red glow. With a push of her will the red glow at her fingers shot out towards the four. The binomes were instantly transformed into colorful costumes and each held a different instrument.
"Play." Enigma said snapping her fingers. The band began to play bringing a cheerful from everyone. Enigma grabbed Enzo and began dancing him around in circles a few feet off the ground. Then she released him so that he spun like a top away from her.
Without warning a shot rang out and Enigma screamed out as she fell face first to the ground. The sudden course of actions did not bring stop to the fun and merriment though.
"Enigma!" Enzo shouted about to run to her aid.
"No Enzo, stay away from her!" AndrAIa said grabbing hold of him.
Matrix slowly approached Enigma as she moaned trying to sit herself up. "I should have known you where a virus." Matrix said aiming his gun at the back of Enigma's head.
"Ow, of all the dirty moves shooting me in the back." Enigma moaned as her body began to fade and reappear.
"Matrix leave her alone she hasn't done anything!" Enzo shouted.
"Matrix he's right! She may be a benign virus." Bob said.
"The only good virus I know is a deleted virus." Matrix said.
Enigma's fading body suddenly began whole. She sprang onto her feet connecting a glowing red fist with Matrix's jaw tossing him through the glass window of Dot's diner. "Virus hater!" She yelled floating two feet off the ground.
"Matrix!" AndrAIa shouted. Hatred and vehemence covered her face as she charged towards Enigma with her triton before her.
"Careful with that." Enigma smiled. She held out her hand bringing the charging AndrAIa to a stop. "You could put someone's eye out." Enigma flicked her outstretched hand at the wrist causing AndrAIa to fly backwards into Bob.
"Enigma!" Enzo shouted getting her attention.
"I'm so sorry our play date had to end like this Enzo." She said with sincerity as she floated higher into the sky. "Bye young guardian...for now anyway." She said raising an eyebrow. Enigma brought her hand to her lips then blew a kiss down towards the chaos. The singing and dancing binomes stopped and began walking as if nothing had happened at all.
AndrAIa, Bob, and Matrix all gathered around Enzo.
"Enzo are you alright?" Bob asked as a Vidwindow popped up before them.
"Enzo are you okay? Did that virus hurt you?" Dot asked.
"I'm fine. Enigma would never do anything like that to me." Enzo said for Enigma's defense.
"You mean you knew?" Matrix asked.
"Yes! She told me herself." Enzo said upset of what had just transpired.
"But why would she tell a guardian?" Dot asked.
"Because she trusted me!" Enzo shouted.
"Enzo calm down." AndrAIa said.
"Calm down? You just chased away my friend. When I'm finally happy you guys have to go ruin things." Enzo said. He pushed his way between Matrix and AndrAIa and began to run with Frisket following after him.
"Enzo wait!" AndrAIa shouted.
"No let him go." Bob said.
"Phong found out why the scanner didn't pick up the fact that Enigma's viral. He said she was holding Enzo's hand during the process and somehow used him and her powers to override the scan." Dot said.
"So Enzo may be infected?" Bob asked.
"That's what Phong theorizes. If you see Enzo again tell him to come to the Principal office, we have to make sure he hasn't been infected." Dot said.
"You got it sis." Matrix said just before the vidwindow vanished.
"So what should we do now?" AndrAIa asked.
"We should look in on my place to see if Enigma went there or left anything." Bob said. Matrix and AndrAIa nodded their heads in agreement.
Enigma floated carelessly through the twisted Gilded Gate Bridge on her way to Lost Angles Island once Mainframe's Twin City. As Enigma got closer and closer to the distorted and warped island she felt herself grow more and more excited, and the powers within her growing like a quickened heartbeat.
She landed on the ground and instantly felt refreshed and comfortable as if she had just returned home after a very long journey. She looked around at the twisted dark buildings. The streets were lined with null trails and deserted expect for an occasional null darting from one secret place into another. A fat purple null made it's way towards Enigma in hopes of eating the energy she possessed.
Enigma held out her hand in a lazy stop motion. "Go away." She commanded. The null quickly changed its course and headed towards the dark shadows of a building.
Enigma made her way to the center of the island taking a look around. "With a few throw rugs her and there and this place will make a suitable home." She laughed out loud to herself.
Enigma felt something rub against her leg. "Huh? Why hello there." Enigma said looking down on the green ball that resembled a cat. "And who might you be?" She asked.
The round cat titled forward so that Enigma was looking down at the dome projector atop it's head. An image of a woman wearing a white mask appeared. "Scuzzy!" She said with joy of seeing the feline ball.
"Scuzzy is it?" Enigma asked. "Maybe you can tell me what happened to Hexadecimal?" Enigma asked. Scuzzy shook side to side. "No?" Enigma asked. Scuzzy spun around like a top then rolled away towards a door. Wham! He ran into the wall. "Ooh that had to hurt." Enigma hissed. Scuzzy backed up a little dazed then wobbled into the dark entrance of the lair.
"Let me think should I follow the kitty into the darkness where who knows what can be in there waiting to attack me or should I turn around and go back to the city where it's safer? Choices choices." Enigma said as she floated above ground with her legs slightly crossed as the ankles. "In I go!" Enigma shouted flying through the door.
"Hey what are you doing here?" Matrix asked surprising Enzo.
Enzo spun around quickly hiding something behind his back. "I was trying to see if Enigma left anything here." Enzo quickly said displaying his nervousness.
"Enzo Phong wants you at the Principal office." Bob said.
"What does Phong need with me?" Enzo asked.
"He wants to make sure you haven't been infected in anyway by Enigma." AndrAIa said. "Dot is very worried about you as well." She added.
"Okay I'm going." Enzo said. He looked up at the guardians. "You guys aren't going to hurt Enigma are you? She hasn't done anything wrong to hurt anyone." Enzo said heading towards the door. As he was almost out something dropped from his shirt. Enzo froze at the sound of something near glass striking the floor.
"What's that Enzo?" Bob asked as Matrix bent door to pick it up.
"I don't believe it!" Matrix said as he looked into the indifferent green eyes of a white porcelain mask.
Inside the dark building Enigma saw a very spacious room with purple walls and a large throne lying on its back on a prominence in the center. Beside the overturned throne was a gold-framed mirror only the reflective glass was broken and was on the floor in shards. Enigma looked around to see that spotlights circled the room, many of which had dead or busted bulbs causing the room to look darker then it should have been. "What happened here?" Enigma asked walking towards the center of the room.
Enigma's booted foot hit something with a small thunk. The silence was broken with the sound of something sliding against the floor. Enigma bent down on one knee and picked up the porcelain mark. The mask was very much like the one she had first waked up with clutched in her hands. The mask and the name of Mainframe was the only thing she had that day she awoke in the ally of harbor like system without a clue to who she was. Yes the mask did look alike only the bright green eyes of this one was red and they smiled at her as the mask gave her a big smile with the red lips opened and lined with sharp fanged teeth.
"Scuzzy did this belong to Hexadecimal?" Enigma asked. Scuzzy shook his head up and down. Enigma continued to stare at the fine spider web thin lines in the face of the mask. She ran her fingers over the lips then the eyes feeling compiled to place it over her face. "Oh well. Scuzzy if this gets stuck on my face I'm counting on you to help me get it off." Enigma said turning it face down then placing it on her face.
Nothing happened. "Oh well that goes to show what happens when you follow your feelings." Enigma laughed as she looked around with the mask on. "Let's start cleaning this place AAaahhh!" A pain like lightening suddenly took over Enigma's body causing her to fall onto her back. She rolled back and forth screaming while she fought to remove the mask from her face. Scuzzy quickly rolled behind the overturned throne peaking out around the corner. Enigma screamed one last time before she fainted curled in fetal position.
In Enigma's mind images began to flash before her closed eyes. Although they came and ended like a snap Enigma caught each one and understood what had happened during that specific flash of images. From the creation of Lost Angles Island to the noble sacrifice of the benign virus by the name of Hexadecimal and even more to all the systems and peoples she saved by infecting. Then the many masks that was the fragmented Hexadecimal all came to one point and fell to the ground gathering into a form, that form then awoke holding one single mask in her hand. 'Mainframe.' She moaned as she sat up. 'Most get to Mainframe.'
"And that's how it all began." A voice said.
Enigma turned to see Hexadecimal standing behind her. She then realized she was still unconscious on the floor and all of this was a sort of dream made up of facts. "A crazy way for things to happen isn't it?" Enigma asked. "So I'm you refragmented?" Enigma asked.
"Yes, you've come along very nicely." Hexadecimal said looking Enigma over.
"Yes but this time I'm younger. And I can move my face." Enigma said giving Hex a fanged smile.
"Very good. And our powers are still the same." Hex said.
"Yes even our sanity!" Enigma laughed so after joined by Hexadecimal.
"Keep this in mind always. Chaos will always triumph over order! It is the way of things." Hexadecimal said as she vanished leaving only the mask behind.
Enigma awoke with the help of Scuzzy nudging her on the shoulder. She groaned as she sat up removing the mask from her face. She petted Scuzzy on the head as she stood onto her feet. "I infect the entire net. I have spread through systems, peoples, and cities. To this place mainframe. My format: Virus...the queen of chaos Hahaha Hahahaha!" Enigma/Hexadecimal laughed.
To be continued...
You know the deal tell me if you like it then I'll add more chapters.
PS I apologize for taking so long. I went through a mild month of sanity and serenity. I am now proud to say that I am again insane and my life is again filled with puzzling chaos.
