Harley P.O.V.

I was in my bedroom on Earth. I was watching one of my favorite science fiction movie: WarGames. For those of you who don't know, WarGames is a 1980's science fiction thriller movie that involves a teenage hacker named David Lightman (played by a then unknown actor named Matthew Broderick) who inadvertently hacks into a military supercomputer named WOPR (War Operation Plan Response) in a NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) facility. The WOPR computer doesn't know the difference between reality and the game world.

I was watching the scene in which David Lightman and his girlfriend Jennifer Mack (played by Ally Sheedy) first discover the WOPR program on David Lightman's IMSAI 8080 computer. It was when the scene progressed further that it hit me like a ton of bricks. I can stop KOMPLEX by hacking into using an old computer like what David Lightman did in WarGames. We could stop KOMPLEX once and for all.

I paused the movie and located the memory stone, which was on my desk. I got up form my bed and went over to my desk and picked up the memory stone. I summoned Jenny. I told her to come inside my room. I told her that I had a paln to stop KOMPLEX. I waited for the female cat to show uo in my room. A few seconds later, Jenny appeared in my room.

"Jenny, I need you to watch some scenes of a movie." I asked her.

"Why? You summoned me here for this?" Jenny said.

"Just shut up and watch the scenes of my movie!" I said to Jenny. Jenny sat down next to me on my bed as I picked scenes from WarGames for her to watch. The first scene we watched was at the beginning of WarGames, the part where the NORAD scientists are being introduced to the WOPR supercomputer. Jenny was starting to get intrigued by WarGames. The next scene I showed Jenny was when David shows Jennifer how the IMSAI 8080 computer works. The scene after that was of David and Jennifer discovering the WOPR interface and trying to figure out what games it includes. The WOPR program included games like Global Thermonuclear War, Backgammon, Chess and strangely enough Tic-Tac-Toe.

Jenny was shocked. She couldn't believe how easily somebody could hack into a military supercomputer like WOPR with little to no effort. I soon got Bucky and the rest of his crew to watch the scenes from the WarGames movie. They seemed intrigued by the fact that a kid like David Lightman could hack into a military supercomputer with ease.

"This could stop KOMPLEX once and for all!" Bucky said after he watched multiple scenes of WarGames.

"First things first, we need to get our hands on a IMSAI 8080 computer or something similar to it if we're going to access KOMPLEX's mainframe." I said to my friends.

"Why can't you just use your computer to hack into KOMPLEX's mainframe? Why use an old, outdated computer that doesn't exist anymore?" Emily asked me.

"What if KOMPLEX finds out what we're doing and gives my computer malicious malware that I can't get rid of?" I said.

"Don't you have antivirus on your computer?" Emily asked me.

"Even with the antivirus, KOMPLEX could still do something with my computer if he finds out we're trying to shut him down." I said. "Our only choice is to get either an IMSAI 8080 microcomputer or an Altair 8800 and find someway to contact and reach KOMPLEX. Unfortunately, the IMSAI 8080 doesn't exist in todays socierty. It only existed in the early 1980's. We have to time travel to the 1980's and see if we can obtain old computers."

"How can we go to the 1980s if time travel doesn't exist in the real world? It's not like you can create a time travelling vehicle like the DeLorean from the Back to the Future movies." Emily said. I pondered her question for a bit. How were we going to travel through time to obtain an ancient computer to shut down a supercomputer like KOMPLEX?

Suddenly, a cassette tape fell to the ground out of nowhere. It hit my bed. The cassette tape read: 80s Pop. You're one way ticket to the 1980s. I grabbed the tape and put in in my Walkman. I pushed play. The opening notes of the song: You Make my Dreams Come True by Hall and Oates started to play. We suddenly found ourselves teleported from my bedroom of my house to the inside of a RadioShack. I looked at the surrounds around us. There were old fashioned TV monitors and old computers that had beige coloring. I saw a sign advertising the Apple Lisa on the window. It meant that we suddenly found ourselves in the 1980s. There was no doubt about it.

We looked at the store clerk. He was Caucasian, like me and my sister. He had a mullet hairstyle that was black. He looked at us in shock. He was just as shocked as we were that we were in a RadioShack in the 1980s.

"Hi. Can you tell me what year this is?" I asked the store clerk.

"It's August 15, 1983." the store clerk said to me and my group of animal friends. I was shocked. I couldn't believe that we were in the 1980s. This was even more exciting than the time we met Captain Marvel in the 1990s a few months ago. We took a moment to soak in the old technology. It was vintage. There was a case full of floppy disks on the counter. Music was playing on the loudspeaker. It was Love Shack by the B-52's, one of my favorite songs. I decided to ask the sotre clerk if they had a IMSAI 8080 or a Altair 8800 computer.

"Do you have an IMSAI 8080 or a Altair 88800 computer?" I asked the store clerk.

"I have an IMSAI 8080, but not enough Altair computers." the store clerk said.

"How much is the IMSAI 8080 computer?" Bucky asked the clerk.

"$2,000." The store clerk said. I pulled out my wallet. $2,000 in cash was in my wallet. How it got into my wallet is a mystery. I paid for the IMSAI 8080 computer. It was in a huge cardboard box. Bruiser used his strenght to carry the box with the computer inside effortlessly. I teleported ourselves back to my house in the present. The reason why we couldn't stay in the 1980s was because 1, we had nowhere to go and two, it would be impossible to me to go to the Righteous Indignation as the photon accelerator was located in my room, which was in the present.

Once we got back inside my bedroom of my house in modern times, we started to open up the box to set up the IMSAI 8080 microcomputer. Setting the old computer up was a tough son a bitch. I had no idea how to set it up. Me, Jenny and Deadeye got to work setting up the IMSAI 8080 microcomputer, while Bucky, Emily, Bruiser and Blinky went back to the Righteous Indignation to see if there was any toad activity afoot. I had to remove pretty much everything off of my desk in order for the computer monitor to fit. I moved my laptop to a separate desk that was near the front door of my bedroom.

Once we were done setting up the computer, I had to figure out how to turn the thing on. I have little to no experience using or operating computers that were manufactured before the mid 2000s. I saw them countless times across various types of media. I only knew that old computers before Windows 95 ran on a program called BASIC. BASIC was the bare minimum of programming for old computers. It was so easy to learn BASIC, even a four old kid could write a program in basic. I looked at the instructions that were included with the IMSAI 8080 computer set. I might as well have been reading Mandarin Chinese. It was overly convoluted. I tried following the instructions as closely as possible on how to turn on the IMSAI 8080 microcomputer.

Through trial and error, I eventually learned how to turn on and operate the IMSAI 8080 computer. I never knew opearting a computer could be so difficult. And I thought an Apple iMac was tough to handle. The IMSAI 8080 made the iMac look like a kids toy made by Fisher Price! Question is, how the hell do I connect to KOMPLEX using an old, outdated computer from the 1980s that ran on BASIC and C++? Will I even be able to reach and hack into KOMPLEX? I was starting to think that maybe trying to replicate what David Lightman did in the movie WarGames maybe wasn't such a good idea.
