A/A: And here is the second chapter! This is from Mainframe's POV, directly after 'game over'. You won't be hearing their direct thoughts, and yeah, it's a different kind of POV for the chapter than the previous one. But I prefer this POV for Mainframe's side than how I'm doing Enzo's and AndrAIa's side. Again, if you haven't seen season 3, don't read this, there will be soilers! I'm connecting the dots for how things got so bad on mainframe's side. It may seem a lot smaller, but keep in mind, things rapidly go downhill for these guys and if I did any more it would be enough for two chapters and then some, since a lot of it will come right after each other. I'll mark which chapter is which POV, maybe call the chapters different names like my last story. Enjoy!

Keep in mind:

Milli-nano = second

Nano = minute

Second = hour

Minute/cycle = day

Hour = year


It was the worse moment of her life. Worse than when she lost Bob. Dot could only scream in denial and cry as the game cube rose up to reveal the deleted sector. Mouse and Phong stood nearby, stocked and uncertain as to how to help the distressed sprite. Dot leaned forward slightly and laid her hands across her eyes as she continued to cry and scream in denial.

It unnerved the binome staff to see Dot break down like that. Though they could understand. Losing Bob took a big chunk of their moral but to lose Enzo, who had so much potential and who had grown on all of the citizens though...

Mouse didn't like to see the last close friend she had break down like Dot was and after a moment of indecision she took Dot to a back room and tried to comfort her. While she couldn't do much she could offer a shoulder for Dot to cry on, comforting pats on the back, and a soothing voice. There wasn't much she could say to comfort Dot so she just kept repeating "It's ok, Sugah. It's ok..."

Dot knew she was upsetting the staff and mouse but she didn't care. Her world was falling apart and now she had no one. She was only vaguely award of her surroundings, and couldn't summon any willpower or emotion aside from despair as she felt herself being moved to a back room. She came to herself slowly as she felt and heard Mouse trying to comfort her. And while Dot knew everything was NOT ok, she appreciated the effort. Especially given that this was from Mouse.


Just before Dot could calm down completely, a zero binome ran into the room. He wore the CPU uniform and gave a sharp salute to the sprites as he all but yelled "Ma'am! Lots of moment in G-Prime!" Mouse gave a small glare at the binome over Dot's shoulder as she took a deep breath to prepare herself for what she was going to have to say next. The binome cringed and shrank into himself a little bit at the glare.

"Sugah, I know this is hard and it's not fair to ask this from you so soon, but we need ya. We need ya to be strong and to defend this system. You are their last hope... I'll be right here with ya, I ain't going anywhere." Mouse said as she placed her hands on Dot's shoulders and pulled away enough to look into her eyes. Mouse didn't want to do this to her friend but she knew how bad things could get in nanos if they weren't careful.

Dot wouldn't Mouse's eyes at first, not wanting to face the world yet but knew that she must. Dot closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she shoved the pain to the back of her mind. She exhaled deeply as she looked Mouse in the eye with a small nod.

As the two sprites stepped back out to the command center and looked over everything from the top platform, they saw a peculiar sight on the vidwindows. It looked like the Tor was on fire and damaged greatly.

They both turned to Specky, a one binome with glasses and white lab coat, and were just about to ask what happened when he answered before they could open their mouths.

"There was suddenly a massive energy build up and the Tor had explosion after explosion rock it's frame. The explosions started in the lower levels of the Tor and worked it's way upwards."

Suddenly, the display of mainframe showed the massive energy source zoom away from the Tor. Through the fuzzy image on the vidwindow, they could barely see that it was Hexadecimal floating near the Tor. The whole room watched in shocked silence as Hexadecimal threw a power sphere at the Tor and it exploded the top half off.

As Hex overloaded the Fire Wall, the binome staff started to panic. Dot could practically feel when the panic started in the staff and snapped out of her funk. It was time to put all emotions behind her and take control of the situation.

"Mouse, try to get the shields back online! Scramble the CPUs! Activate the Inner-System Defense System! Put everything on High Alert! Evacuate the sectors near the fighting and send a system wide alert for everyone to stay indoors and away from the fighting!" Dot said as she pointed to the various staff members to get them to move. Mouse gave a small smile as she jumped down to the lower level terminal and started typing away.

"Have the CPUs ready but do NOT engage in combat. This is most likely a fight between viruses and we shouldn't draw attention to ourselves if we an help it." Dot commanded as she put on her glasses and started to read reports of damages done so far and the Principal Office Forces.

It wasn't even a nano later that Megabyte's forces gathered to fight Hexadecimal and neither side cared about damages to nearby buildings and binomes.

Everyone in the Principal Office could only watch helplessly as the city was slowly destroyed in the viral's fight and they knew it was going to be a long cycle ahead of them.


A/N: And there you have it! The start of a long war in Mainframe. Don't worry, this isn't all that will be shown to have happened in Mainframe. Also, please review or send me a message if I have grammar or spelling errors or if the characters seem OOC. I am trying to keep them as close to what they are like in the show as I can. If anyone is wondering how I'm coming up with this stuff, I actually just watch what would be happening like I was watching the tv show, just all in my mind... yeah, I'm not obsessive... .
