"By all the -! I forgot, I'm scheduled to pick up Enzo and AndrAIa from school! I can't believe I'm late. I'll see you later Bob!" Dot yelled as she hopped onto her zipboard and flew off towards the school.

"Yeah, good work to you too." Bob said with a sigh as he and the other binomes began to clean up the mess from the battle.

"This is AndrAIa, boy. She's a friend. AndrAIa, this is Frisket, the best dog in all of Mainframe!" Enzo stated as he petted Frisket on the head. He showed AndrAIa how Frisket liked to be petted and soon the three of them were playing and having fun.

As AndrAI and Enzo played with Frisket, AndrAIa kept an ear on the fighting. The fighting was dying down, but a maniacal laughter was taking it's place and building.

Just as AndrAIa got a bad feeling about the laughing, she and Enzo dissolved and reappeared inside a tower. As AndrAIa was recovered from surprise and looked over the new location, Enzo shouted "Hexadecimal!"

A flash and nano later, the slightly insane virus was hovering near the young sprites, laughing as she looked them over, especially looking at AndrAIa.

"My, what chaos you two caused. Lovely Chaos..." Hexadecimal said with a cackle.

"Right... If that's all you wanted, we'll just zip out then." Enzo said as he signaled to AndrAIa to back up with him. Before they took 3 steps Hex popped up behind them, making them jump a little in surprise. Hex put a hand on each of the sprites' shoulder and pushed them forward towards her looking glass.

"Why don't we play a game?" Hexadecimal said as she floated to stand in front of them.

"A game? What kind of game?" Enzo asked as he crossed his arms and looked at her with suspicion. AndrAIa followed Enzo's lead and crossed her arms and watched the virus. AndrAIa was nervous, because she could sense how much power this virus had on her own.

"Why, it's an easy game. My little Scuzzy has planted a Panic Bug somewhere in Mainframe." Hexadecimal said as the looking glass showed Scuzzy running around Mainframe. "You just have to find where it all started and find a way to stop it. Doesn't that sound like fun?" Hex said with her evil smile face.

The two sprites watched in shock as the mirror panned away from Scuzzy to show binomes running around in blind panic.

Hexadecimal laughed as she teleported the sprites to outside of her lair. AndrAIa shook her head as she and Enzo woke from their daze. They looked at each other, nodded in unison and jumped onto their zipboards and flew to Mainframe.

(*Nanos Later*)

As the two young sprites hovered over the city, trying to find the bug, AndrAIa listened intently trying to hear where the buy is spreading out from. They narrowed it down to Kits Sector and were working on what level it started from.

As they flew level by level, trying to locate it, they flew into Bob who was doing the same thing. After a few nanos of Enzo speed talking, Bob was able to get the jest of it.

"Alright you two, while I'm greatful for you help, but you two should head home. It could get dangerous." Bob said as Glitch finally pinpointed the source of the bug.

"Aww, but Bob! Hex wanted us to..." Enzo began when Bob cut him off. "No Enzo. Haven't you noticed the swarms of nulls running around? They're either adding to this panic or effected by it." Bob stated as he waved to the streets below where nulls were going around waves.

Enzo nodded slowly and turned to leave. AndrAIa watched the exchange silently, as she memorized the sounds of panic, nulls stampeding and what the bug sounded like. As Bob flew away and the two younger sprites started to leave the sector, AndrAIa heard Hexadecimal's laughter behind them.

AndrAIa turned around looking for the virus while yelling "Enzo! She's here!". Enzo gave a start and tried to find the virus as well. As they were looking opposite each other, Hexadecimal appeared from no where in between them. She placed her hands on each of the sprites' shoulders as she quietly said, "It was suppose to be a game for just us..." Enzo and AndrAIa gave a start.

"It was, but Bob beat us to it!" Enzo said in their defense as AndrAIa nodded twice.

"Booobbb..." Hexadecimal mused to herself as she circled the young sprites. "I suppose we'll just have to postpone our play time. We could make lovely chaos..." Hex said as she began to float away. Enzo and AndrAIa tried to keep an eye on her, but after a nano there was a flash and she was gone. Enzo heaved a big sigh while AndrAIa relaxed a little now that the virus was gone. They turned to each other and began to laugh as both a stress relief and as to how amazing their day turned out.

"Enzo! AndrAIa! Where in the net have you two been? You were suppose to be waiting for me at school!" Dot said as she flew up next to the sprites. As Dot began to lector them about keeping their promises and how dangerous things could have been, Enzo began to sag and AndrAIa was also downtrodden. Enzo was upset that he was uncool in front of AndrAIa again while AndrAIa was upset that Enzo was upset. AndrAIa put a hand on Enzo's shoulder as they both looked up to Dot and apologized. "We're sorry. We'll make sure to wait for you after school."

Dot sighed. "Yes, after today, I suppose I should pick you guys up from school from now on just to be safe. At least we were able to gather some nulls for an experiment we have been meaning to try..." Dot said as she patted both sprites on their shoulders. "Come on, let's head for the Principal Office." Dot lead the way as she planned out what to try for the experiment.

"What does she mean, experiment? Why would we need nulls?" AndrAIa asked as they flew behind Dot. Enzo merely shrugged, he didn't know either.

Once they got to the Principal Office, they checked in with Bob and Phong. They had nulls in clear containers and were zapping them. AndrAIa once again asked her question and Bob started to answer in technical terms about nulls and the games they lost in.

A/N: At this point, we're at start of the episode Nullzilla. After this will be a big jump as to what happens, since the next 5 or 6 episodes connect with each other closely. I'll have bits of episodes in the next chapter to help show where things stand. Also, please review, I can't tell if anyone likes how I'm writing this if I get no feed back! I tried to stay in character for everyone, hopefully I stayed close to how they are. I think there may be only one more chapter to this story, the rest of the story I'm imagining should be it's own story (I'm thinking of the title 'New Stories from Mainframe'?). Sorry that I'm not regularly updating this story, I have a hard time sitting down and typing it all up.
