Sam moved to run but was caught off guard as the floor all around them dropped like descending tiles. A shriek had him looking to the side. It seemed Tori had the same idea of running but did not catch herself as fast as he did.

Careening and arms flailing, Tori panicked as she began leaning too far forward.

"Tori!" Sam shouted with wide eyes as he grabbed one of her arms and pulled her straight into him. Breathing heavily and hearts beating like a champ, they both turned to face the machine and could see a horizontal platform come down to their level.

Two strangely dressed individuals stepped off with staffs in their hands. Each guard grabbed a hold of one of each of Sam and Tori's arms in a tight grip and ripped them apart from each other.

"Hey!" Sam and Tori chorused but were too confused to fight back.

Tori stared into the black visor like helmet that covered the individual that held onto her upper arm. He/she peaked at her back before nodding at the other one.

Blinking, Tori turned to stare at the other guard-like figure as he, sounded like a he anyways, voiced their thoughts.

"These programs don't have disks, two more strays," The figure droned before both guards began pulling the two onto the descended platform.

'programs…PROGRAMS?' Tori thought alarmed as she began struggling sluggishly against her assailant's iron grip.

"No, wait! We're not programs!" Sam tried to reason as he struggled as well.

Tori and Sam were shoved onto the two last vacant spots but before they could try and dash off the tile beneath lit up vibrating. A clamp came down over their feet in a lock.

Sam watched as the two guards stepped onto their own spots and were secured in place by panels.

"Sam, are we where I think we are?" Tori asked as the Recognizer began rising up into the air once again. She could not move any portion of her lower body, it wasn't that she was numb but more like held in place with invisible straps.

Tori followed Sam's gaze down and spotted what looked like a….tank rolling past from beneath them. Everything they were seeing…it was exactly like what Sam would describe in the Tron game. Which mean they were in the only place all of these could exist.

"He actually did it…" Sam whispered, "I'm on the grid…"

A chill went up her spine as Victoria looked around. The wind was whipping her hair everywhere but she couldn't move her arms to push them out of her sight. Then she heard Sam's voice yelling over the wind and into her ear. Ow.

"Does the name Kevin Flynn mean anything to you?" Sam yelled.

Tori peaked at Sam before looking at the man beside her. And boy did he not look happy at all, he glared at them both.

"Be quiet if you want to live," He stated.

Tori's mouth dropped visibly as the man's voice came out…like as it would come out of a computer. Digitalized.

Sam turned to look at the other people beside him as Tori continued gaping at the man.

The program must have felt her stare as he turned his eyes to glare down at her.

Closing her mouth shut, she bit down on her lower lip before turning away quickly. Her face burned in embarrassment.

Closing her eyes for a second, Tori took in a deep breath before looking up at Sam. She caught him turning straight forward with a freaked out look on his face. Curious she looked around him but saw nothing but the other captives.

Before she could ask, Tori's breath caught as she caught sight of the great scenery. They had made their way past the fog and clouds and could now see the grid in all it's glory.

As freaked out as she was, the woman couldn't help but feel grateful that she got to see this.

"Beautiful…" She whispered as they began approaching a large coliseum like structure.

She and Sam remained silent for the rest of the trip down, caught up in the amazement of the situation.

As they landed smoothly onto a long platform, Sam couldn't help but feel his stomach drop the slightest as the stage they were on began lowering onto the ground.

Waiting for them on the ground were three more guard-like persons, dressed almost exactly the same as the two guards that took them in.

A single person stood forward and walked onto the stage.

Tori could not see his face but could tell he was scanning over them. All the captives watched with a bated breath as he made his way toward one end of the stage.

A shuttered scanning sound echoed as the guard's head tilted the slightest.

"Rectify," He rumbled in a deep computerized voice.

This was getting weirder and weirder.

Sam could see the captive's face drop along with his whole figure. He guessed that being rectified wasn't what they wanted. The boy genius glanced at his companion with a slightly worried look. But they weren't programs, so they would be fine.

Right?

"Rectify,"

The guard stepped to the side and faced the next captive, a rather jittery looking one. Even Tori could see from her spot that he was shaking to the core in fear and it only seemed to get worse as the guard let out the verdict.

"Games."

The response was instant.

"No….please!"

But the guard paid no attention as he quickly evaluated the next prisoner, the one right beside Sam.

"Rectify."

Sam instantly began trying to let out an explanation as the guard came to face him.

"Look I know you probably get this a lot, but there has been a big mistake," Sam rattled off with a charming smile. But that was quickly wiped away.

"Games."

Sam quickly looked at Tori but could not catch her eye as she stared intently at the guard in front of her. The guard seemed to take a bit more time scanning her, Sam could not help but feel angry.

"Games," The guard finally got out before moving over.

"Games?" Tori repeated to look at Sam questionably but they were both interrupted as a shout left the jittery man as he was carted off.

"NO!"

"Whoah," Sam was the next to be escorted.

"ERASE ME!"

The two humans watched in horror as the program ran straight off the platform. A glass shattering sound filled the air but that was enough to freak the crap out of Tori.

Not sure what was happening but thoroughly scared for her life, Tori did not even struggle as she was next to be escorted.

"No, wait! Wait!"

Hearing Sam struggle, Tori snapped out of it before struggling as well.

"Let me go you freaks!" Tori tried to dig her feet into the ground but it was as smooth as glass.

Sam and Tori were separated onto two separate panels.

Unable to move once more, Tori instantly looked to the side to find Sam.

"Victoria!"

The last thing she saw was Sam's worried face with his arm stretched out. She was dropping at a fast speed straight down. Her stomach instantly dropped as she tried to close her eyes but was afraid to do so. Lights passed around her in flashes as she continued to descend for a few more seconds before it finally began to slow down.

Her knees buckled the slightest as her platform came to a complete halt in an empty white room.

"Hello?" Tori yelled out as she tried to moved her legs.


Sam had to think quick, he had to somehow escape and find Tori before bailing it out of here.

A quiet hissing caught his attention, halting his thoughts as he tried to look all around him. Figures stepped down onto the floor of the room he was taken to.

Sam's eyebrows shot up instantly as the figures stepped into the light.

Wow.

The sirens approached and halted to stand half a foot away from Sam. All four figures were gorgeous women in tight white body suits. Each with an alluring and powerful look on their face.

"Can someone tell me what the…"

The two sirens in front of him lifted their hands but what had him quiet was the blazing light that shot and lit the tip of their index finger.

They bent down and began slicing through his pants.

All his previous thoughts instantly disappeared.


'Sam would so be enjoying this,' Tori thought bitterly with a hint of jealously as she took in the sight of four women surrounding her. But she couldn't help but not blame him, if she was a man or lesbian she was pretty sure she would be too. Then again she was also pretty sure straight girls would instantly be converted at the sight of them.

"Hey, I'm not a pro-HEY!"

Tori raised her arm to grab onto one of the woman's arms as they began stripping her down. However before she could even touch one, her whole body froze.

"Violence is not permitted, please refrain from struggling. Any further actions will result in an automatic deresolution."

The command echoed throughout the room and bounced off the walls eerily.

The sirens continued on unbothered before stepping away back toward the walls as Tori's outer clothes were being disposed of.

Goosebumps light straight up her skin as a cold crawling jitter crawled up her leg. Shocked, Tori looked down and watched in sure awe and panic as something black began crawling up her body. It stopped below her neck but finished all the way to the tips of her thumb, index and pinky finger; leaving the rest of her fingers unclothed.

Blinking in disbelief, Tori couldn't help but lift her hands to look at the fabric that fitted onto her. Hexagonal patterns covered the surface of the black fabric, it was thin but somehow a good insulator.


"This can't be good," Sam commented grimly as a chest and back plate was placed onto his person. The plates instantly began forming bridges to close the gap between them, almost conforming skin tight against him.

The suit vibrated the slightest as his suit basically lit up, lines went up all around his body.

"Attention program you will receive an identity disk,"

Sam watched as one of the women in front of him moved to his other side as another walked over toward a rising pillar.

"Everything you do or learn will be imprinted on this disk,"

A thick circular disk the size of a frisbee with a hole in the middle was brought towards him.

"If you loose this disk, or fail to follow commands, you will be subject to immediate deresolution."

'That doesn't sound too good,' Sam thought as he watched the brunette hand the 'identity disk' toward a darker skinned woman behind him.


The effect was instant.

Besides the now prominent added weight onto her back, a strange feeling over came her body as the disk was attached on to Tori's back plate.

"Marrying complete, disk activated and synchronized. Proceed to games," The woman to her right spoke much like a recorder. All four women began backing up simultaneously.


"Games?" Sam questioned.

"Where you going?" He watched as each woman began stepping back into a pod one by one before a white-haired siren was last.

"What am I supposed to do?" Sam stared at the woman hoping she would at least answer that question.

"Survive."

The hold on his lower body disappeared as the room dimmed in light the slightest. Sam turned when a sound alerted him to a door behind him. A bright light had him squinting but he moved forward toward it.

Even if he didn't want to, he had to follow the rules.

For now.

He needed to find Tori first. And maybe…maybe answers about his father as well.
