Part Two: Decompression
INT. HOTEL LOBBY
Bob: (Firing at the newly infected user) He's unstoppable! I can't keep up
with his hacking!
Matrix: Bob, he's not after the portal. He's trying to delete the others!
Bob: No! Glitch! Wide field energy beam!
(Megabyte dodges the beam)
Bob: There's no way we can stop him. We must beat him to the portal to end
the game!
AndrAIa: I'll slow him down.
(AndrAIa fires another fingernail into Neo)
AndrAIa: That'll slow him down. He's too strong to become fully paralyzed.
Bob: That's the best we can do for now. Where's the portal located?
Matrix: On the 69th floor of the building across the street. AndrAIa and I
will cross the street. Bob, you follow Megabyte. We don't want him to find
anymore shortcuts.
Bob: Let's do it.
AndrAIa: I hope Dot and the others are doing better than we are.
INT: 54TH FLOOR OF HOTEL
Dot: (Looking at Megabyte through the Vid Window) Why isn't he going after
the tear?
Mouse: I know that virus better than you, Dot. I still can't figure out
what he's doing,
Ray: Simple. The tear's not his target.
Dot: Then what is he after?...
Megabyte: (Walks through the wall beside Dot) You, Miss Matrix!
(Megabyte grabs Dot, then runs off towards the window. Ray, reacting
quickly, runs off directly behind, pulling out a pair of M45s. Megabyte
dives through the glass, beginning to fall, with Ray in close pursuit. The
air is pierced by rounds of bullets being exchanged by Megabyte and Ray,
with Dot attacking Megabyte physically and, at the same time, defending
herself.)
Ray: (Realizing he still has his board) Hang on, Dot!
(Ray's board smashes through the second story window of the hotel,
attaching to Ray's feet. In control, he flies towards Megabyte, and thrusts
Dot out of Megabyte's arms. Stopping in midair, they watch as Megabyte hits
the concrete street below.)
Dot: He's not out of commission, yet.
Ray: Axess! Get me Bob.
(Bob is displayed on the small LCD)
Bob: I just heard a crash. What happened?
Ray: Megabyte did a total wipeout, but he's back up and heading Matrix and
AndrAIa's way!
Bob: With his speed, he'll catch up with them for sure! Then, he'll use the
portal to either trap them in the web, or head for the net!
Dot: And with his new powers, he'll be unstoppable, even possibly to the
guardians.
Bob: Ray, take Dot and Mouse to the 69th floor of the building across the
street. However, stay away from the portal for now. We're not ready to win
the game yet.
Dot: Why?
Bob: We can't afford to end the game not knowing where Megabyte is. If he
gets access to the core, then we could possibly be handling another 403.
Dot: Viral upgrade?
Bob: That's right. With his new abilities, he'll become unstoppable.
Ray: Let's get to it then mate.
INT. 69TH FLOOR SHIN-RA BUILDING
(Ray returns to pick up his lady love, Mouse. Using his gun, he punctures a
hole in the window of the 69th floor. Looking around, they find themselves
in a warehouse-type area, with no rooms, and the portal sitting right in
the centre. The only doorways are the elevator shafts and the stairwell. On
the wall is a templated "69".)
INT. HOTEL 54TH FLOOR
Bob: Glitch! Interactive Vid Window!
(The Vid Window opens. Bob walks through to meet up with Dot and the others
across the street.)
INT. 69TH FLOOR SHIN-RA BUILDING
Bob: I'll analyze the portal.
(Glitch analyzes the portal, showing 3D scans and endless data on the
formation of the portal.)
Bob: It's a class 5. It remains unstable after the game has fallen. This
tear can lead anywhere. With Megabyte's abilities and the viral takeover
combined, he'll be able to stabilize it. We have very little control here.
Ray: Plus, one of us will have to enter the portal in order to end the
game. This portal is too strong to go anywhere. There are two destinations;
the supercomputer, and the web.
Dot: So, in other words, one of us must travel to the supercomputer.
There's just one problem. We can't afford for you or Bob to go because we
need your guardian powers. And we can't have any of the rest of us go,
because it'd be too difficult to leave.
Bob: What about Matrix?
Ray: He couldn't bear to leave AndrAIa back here. If he left to the
supercomputer, he would be sent to the academy. He wouldn't be back for
quite a while.
Dot: I hope those two are holding up.
INT. SHIN-RA BUILDING ELEVATOR
AndrAIa: This is pleasant.
Matrix: It's too quiet. Wait! I hear something down there!
AndrAIa: What's that bag you got there?
Matrix: When the user first walked through the doors, he forgot to pick it
up. Looks like some sort of bomb.
AndrAIa: We can use that! It'll slow Megabyte down.
Matrix: Good idea! I'll set it while you climb up and move one of those
ceiling tiles.
(AndrAIa stands on one of the railings in the elevator, and moves a ceiling
tile to the side. Matrix programs the timer for 1010, and heads for the
ceiling of the elevator. Matrix and AndrAIa crawl on top of the cart.
Matrix grabs AndrAIa, leaps for a ladder located on the wall of the shaft,
and pulls out Gun.)
Matrix: Gun! Targeting!
(Matrix aims for the metal cable carrying the cart, and fires a single
blast to send the cart flying down the shaft towards the first floor. As
the cart reaches the bottom, the bomb countdown reaches zero, causing a
massive explosion to clear out the entire first five floors. Matrix begins
to climb up, with AndrAIa in front of him. As they reach the 69th floor,
they hear a scraping of metal approaching them fast from below. As Matrix
pries the doors open, AndrAIa catches the sight of Neomegabyte climbing up
the shaft like a cheetah.)
AndrAIa: It's Megabyte, Sparky!
Matrix: Nearly there.
(Matrix pries the door open, spotting Bob and the others. Lifting AndrAIa
up first, he pulls out Gun.)
Matrix: Gun! Targeting!
Bob: Don't delete him! The game will crash!
Matrix: (Puts Gun away, leaving a target on his head.) Bob! Is there any
chance that he could be an alias?
Bob: No chance! The accelerated game speed would prevent him from
completing one!
(Matrix leaps up onto the 69th floor room. He then heads towards the group.
Megabyte leaps onto the floor, and appears to be surrounded.)
Bob: It's over Megabyte! You lose!
Megabyte: You like to think that, don't you, guardian! You fail to
recognize some of my newfound abilities, and even some of my old ones!
Bob: What?!
(Behind Bob appear two beings, Phong and Nibbles' robotic suit. Megabyte,
failing to recognize that Nibbles is gone, continues.)
Megabyte: Destroy them!
(Phong attacks Matrix and the suit attacks Dot.)
Bob: Don't hurt him, Matrix! He's just under viral influence!
Dot: Wait a sec! Where's my dad?
Megabyte: I set Nibbles free. What a shame.
Dot: No! Father!
(Dot begins to cry.)
Dot: You evil monster!
Megabyte: (Evilly laughing) It is the end for you all!
Mysterious Voice: Not so fast! You thought you could destroy me! You toyed
with me! Treated me like a pet! Destroyed many loyal Mainframers! This
time, you won't make me a null again!
Dot: Dad.. You've returned!
Wellman: Fully recompiled.
