Nullzilla Returns
Mainframe The Principle's Office
Megabyte was sleeping on his throne when Phong shook him awake.
"Master, Lord and Master, wake up something terrible has happened," said Phong frantically.
Megabyte's infection had not been kind to the old sprite, turning him into a senile fool with hardly any dignity. It made the degrading tasks that Megabyte ordered him to do no fun at all. If it weren't for the codes and secrets that Phong knew Megabyte would have deleted him long ago. The virus woke up cuffing the sprite on the head.
"What is it? Why aren't you cleaning the toilets like I asked" Megabyte said.
" Look to the view screen my liege. IT IS NULLZILLA!!"
Sure enough Nullzilla was lumbering across the bridge. This Nullzilla was different. The monster no longer staggered blindly looking for help. The virus inside knew exactly what she was doing, heading right towards them. Which is more than he could say about his minions as they scattered like nulls from a game cube. So they finally got their act together? Good, at last now the hunt could truly begin.
"Sir what are we going to do?" asked one of his nameless henchmen.
"Send in troops 1 and 3 to the bridge and send the rest of the troops outside the Principle's Office. Phong you have some experience dealing with Nullzilla. Why don't you get out your surprise while I prepare mine," ordered Megabyte.
The virus laughed evilly and his minions quickly followed suit. If they had any idea of what Megabyte had been planning the last thing they would have done is laughed.
Nullzilla walked with surprising grace through Baudway as crowds of people fled in terror. Nulls climbed up and down her as she kept getting closer and closer to the Principle's Office. Soldiers tried shooting at her but the virus simply ignored them not even bothering to swat them aside. The nulls did not.
Obeying their mistress's simple command each and every null attached itself to a citizen or a piece of equipment and injected Hexadecimal's cure. Most of Megabyte's victims were not infected willingly and they either ran away or turned on the ones who had chosen to be infected. The battle was not going well.
"Ohh dear this is not good," said Phong as he watched from the screen. Megabyte's troops were being overwhelmed. "Okay it is time for the giant robot. You five get into those uniforms and meet me in my office.
Corporal Billy's darted wildly about the office as he listened to the old sprite. He didn't like this plan, not at all. The details were way too random even worse than anything Hexadecimal ever dreamed up and to make matters worse Phong had this giant robot built from before the Web Wars. He tugged at his gnat costume as Phong gave his instructions. He screamed as Phong opened a trap door under him and let him slide down a tube to his gnat vehicle.
Nullzilla strangely enough seemed oblivious the havoc she was causing. She was almost within a block of the Principle's Office when Phong's Giant Robot landed right in front of her and took a swing at Hex. The battle was on.
From the bridge Turbo observed the fight going on. He turned to his ragtag band. Dr. s Chandra and Apple had finally purged the toxins from Ray, Mouse, Matrix and AndraIa. The newly cured sprites stood waiting for orders along with Bob, Dot and the crew of the Saucy Mare, about forty people in all.
"Alright people, let's move on out, Hexadecimal has cleared the way for us. It's up to us now let's go in, get Megabyte, rescue Enzo and get out. Any questions?" said Turbo.
The newly cured Matrix raised his hand, " I do. Why do we have to these basic suits?"
They all wore Hexadecimal's old armour as well as a large pulse rifle. The skin-tight suit was a rich burgundy with gold piping but that was not the worst of it. On each of their heads they wore a helmet with five spikes, on their backs they wore a cloak of ribbons and on their feet they each, including the men, wore spike-heeled boots. All in all, it did not give its wearer the impression of mental stability.
"I'll tell you why. These suits can take a pulse canon blast at point blank range, now move out," shouted Turbo.
"Great, just great, " muttered Mouse as they zipped towards the office.
"Well, I don't know love these things are quite comfortable," said Ray admiring himself.
Tears fell from Mouse's eyes upon hearing that statement.
The way was mostly cleared for them thanks to Hex's help. However the Principle's Office was fully shielded and locked up tight.
Turbo turned round to his group, " Okay you all remember the drill, Hex will be busy for awhile so it's up to us - "
At this moment, Hex finished the battle. The robot, although it won a battle with Hex before, was no match for her now. This time she was no longer sick or confused. This time she gave the final blow knocking the robot out. It sank to its knees and then fell the rest of the way down with a gigantic crash, trapping and unfortunate ABC under it.
"Okay people new plan," Turbo ordered Copeland to form a radio. "Hex, Hex can you here me?"
Nullzilla stood up it put a paddle like limb to its vaguely shaped head. A large metal antenna poked out from head.
"Okay, I want you to remove the shields, rip it off, drain it with your nulls, what ever it takes, you got that?" shouted Turbo. In truth the Prime Guardian didn't need to yell. Inside Nullzilla, his radio was working perfectly.
The monster tried to give a thumb up but it had no fingers. It still got the point across however a proceeded to hug the shields draining it of energy. In no time the barrier disappeared and Nullzilla tore off the main door as five newly cured schoolgirls cheered on.
"Right people, let's go on in," ordered Turbo.
They quickly stormed the halls. There was still some opposition as Megabyte kept his most trusted men inside. The band of rescuers easily beat them, partly because their suits were so frightening. Mouse found a computer room. She signalled for them to enter.
"Alright, I can disable all their internal defence systems for here," Mouse paused as she caught a small bug and ate it.
Apparently Mouse's cure was not total. Once again there was an uncomfortable silence. Bob cleared his throat.
Mouse continued, " and with our vid channels kept open we won't be tricked by Megabyte's new shape shifting abilities. I'll need someone to watch my back. Not you Ray. Dot how about you?"
Meanwhile in the battle room Phong and the few remaining soldiers were panicking as the Turbo's band got closer and closer. Megabyte had discretely left a long time ago. Phong's brow sweated as he fired out desperate orders. Suddenly the door blasted open and nulls poured in, attacking the people inside. When the smoke had finally cleared Turbo's people rushed in taking up strategic points.
Bob gently woke up Phong, "Phong, Phong! Where's Megabyte and Enzo?"
"I do not know my child. Enzo has been taken by Megabyte's scientists and Megabyte left several micros ago."
Mainframe The Principle's Office Infirmary
Young Enzo desperately pounded the doors, trying to get out. Giving up for a little while he sat down for a rest beside his father or more correctly Nibbles.
"Dad, I don't know what's going to happen to me not after what Megabyte did to me. You don't know how Matrix and the others are about viruses, I can't let them see me like this but I can't I won't hide forever. Can you help me? Dad are you still in there?"
With Megabyte's infection Welman Matrix had reverted into his Nibbles persona. He squealed and climbed up to the boy's shoulder but gave no indication that he understood anything. Enzo Matrix wept bitter tears.

"FAQ we can let that son of a Bat get away," said Turbo fiercely. "Copeland merge with the main computer and do an advanced viral scan of Mainframe."
Turbo and company watched the information appear on the main screen. Bob's eyes widened at the information shown.
"What there are three viruses?" he exclaimed.
Sure enough there were three viruses and all were inside the building. One of them was obviously Hex. She still kept busy delivering the counter virus to the people in the building but the other two were a mystery.
The first signal the two Guardians, Matrix, AndraIa and Ray tracked down led to a locked door. Behind it, the sprites could hear the muffled sound of crying. Turbo gave the signal and Bob sawed open the door with his key tool. Inside lay what looked like Enzo crying in a corner.
"Go away I don't want you to see me like this," he sobbed.
Then he raised his head and everybody got a good look at his face. His eyes were green with red pupils. His features were warped into a cruel viral parody of a little boy with a sloping forehead and a huge jutting jaw. At the sight of this, Ray was physically sick.
"Now don't worry son, we have a fine pair of doctors waiting in Lost Angles. They'll have you patched up in no time," said Turbo soothingly.
"Sweet User why," gasped Matrix.
The boy wiped his eyes, "Megabyte said he wanted an heir to his empire. Something about failing with Hexadecimal so he'd try with a readymade child. I'm so scared. What if I go all random like Hexadecimal?"
"You're not going to go random. I promise you that!" said Bob fiercely. "Turbo request permission to take Matrix with me and to hunt Megabyte down."
They found Megabyte soon enough trying to escape through one of the access corridors. The virus was surrounded by nulls, which squealed at him. Sensing their presence he turned around. His eyes widened at the pair.
"Is this some crazy fashion statement?" Megabyte asked quietly.
Bob and Matrix looked at each other. They looked absolutely ridiculous. Matrix then turned around and shot Megabyte in the knee. The virus cried out in pain. The nulls fled allowing Matrix to walk in closer to the virus lying on the ground. Matrix aimed his gun again this time at Megabyte's head.
Bob pulled his gun away, "Don't that is far too quick, I have a better idea."
The Guardian then delivered an energy blast to virus, stunning him. Bob then used his key tool to bind and carry the virus back to the others. Their nightmare was finally over and it was almost too easy.
