I come from the net, through systems, peoples, and cities, to this place.

Mainframe.

My format?

Guardian. To mend and defend.

To defend my newfound friends, their hopes and dreams.

To defend them from their enemies.

They say the user lives outside the net and inputs games for pleasure.

No one knows for sure, but I intend to find out.

Reboot!

The cleanup's going okay.

Uh, apart from a couple of minor setbacks.

Better keep the sector clear until it's safe.

Good news is, Nozilla isn't a problem anymore.

The Nulls have all gone back to wherever they came from.

Okay, let's keep working. I hope Bob's doing better than we are.

Hex is weak, Fong. The nulls drain most of her energy.

But she is going to recover.

Will you need any help in getting her back to lost angles?

No, I'll do it alone. She trusts me.

Just keep the sector clear.

Any sign of what attacked her?

No, my son. Whatever came out of her mirror has either gone or cannot be

detected by my sensors.

Fong, this creature attacked Hexadecimal first.

Maybe it preys on viruses.

Which could mean... Megabyte.

That's right.

I believe it may... No!

Megabyte!

No! No!

Glitch! Wide field energy beam!

I was right. It's got megabyte. He's attacking hexadecimal and trying to

I repeat, trying to merge.

I don't know what he's up to, but we'd better get you out of here. Fast.

Not this time, Megabyte.

You better start talking, Hex. You and Megabyte started to merge back there.

Yes, Bob.

We are from the... Same viral strain.

The same family?

Oh, much worse than that, Guardian.

He is my brother!

But you're always trying to destroy each other.

Oh, that's just sibling rivalry.

What will happen if you join?

The next generation!

Why don't I like the sound of that?

Bob! What is it, Dot?

I tried to hold him, but it was no use.

He's... Here!

Oh, no!

This is it, Dot. It looks like our viruses have just upgraded. I want a

emergency alert. Keep everyone at least one sector away from the new virus.

Doc tells me we have a new virus.

That's right. I'll get you a visual now.

Fong, I'm going to try and talk to him.

Maybe the transformation has created a benign virus.

What? Benign?

Sure. You can tell that just by looking at him.

You can?

Andrea.

Enzo was trying to be funny.

I am Guardian 452. State your name and function.

I am

become Gigabyte, destroyer of systems.

Not this system, Bob.

Glitch! Wide -field energy beam!

Uh -oh.

Fong, the virus is called Gigabyte. He's at least as strong as Megabyte.

but he hasn't used any of Hex's powers yet.

The transformation may have left him weak. If he had access to Hexadecimal's

higher level functions, he would already have opened a portal to the net.

We must stop him before he gains enough power to do that.

You're going to have to power down the entire city.

I'm going to call for help.

Help? From who?

Glitch, net wide alert.

This is Guardian 452 of System Mainframe. We've got a Class 5 virus.

absorbing. We need help.

Dot, no!

Oh, great. A Class 5.

happening? Fong's powering down the city. But our zip cords, we won't be

escape.

I know.

Dot, I want to tell you. I know, Bob. I know.

There is no point in resisting, Guardian. Hand over your key tool. I

its energy.

Two sprites will do just as well.

You called, sugar?

Did you miss me?

Mouse, how did you get here so quickly? I only sent out the call a nano ago.

I was already on my way, darling.

Oh, great.

The last time you were here, you nearly deleted my little brother.

If you like, I can put you back down there with our charming friend.

Dot, Mouse just saved our bitmaps, remember?

Well, I don't care what brings you to Mainframe. We're grateful for your help,

aren't we, Dot?

Well, we are.

Can you take us to the principal office?

Anything for you, honey.

Fong, it's us.

Give us entry clearance.

I'm sorry, I cannot do that. I am not prepared to allow Mouse inside the

principal office.

She just saved Dot and me from Gigabyte. I'll vouch for her.

You'll behave, won't you, Mouse?

I'm in.

What?

She's hacked through the P .O. defenses, Fong. I suppose it's her idea of

behaving.

Well, you might as well come in, then.

Now, we know that the Nulls drain most of Hex's power, and the fight with

Megabyte would have depleted whatever she had left.

Yes, but once Gigabyte has accessed enough energy, he will be able to use

Hexadecimal's power to open a portal.

And he's roaming the city now. Yes, but he's out there looking for energy now.

And we've got to stop him.

And you can wipe that smile off your face.

Let's face it, gang, it doesn't take a genius to work out where he's heading

right now.

But we are safe here. The force field will protect us.

Andrea, the principal office shield is made entirely of energy. If he taps into

it, he will gain untold power.

Oh, great!

How basic can you get? How are we ever going to stop this guy?

Isn't it obvious? Keep him from the energy.

He'll eventually run down, won't he?

I've got a better idea.

Let's give him all the energy he needs.

What?

What's your plan, Bob?

Just back me up on this one, Mouse. We need to give Gigabyte a huge jolt of

energy. We certainly cannot allow him into the core.

That means our only option is... A tear from the energy sea.

That's right.

Now, your ship is the only vehicle that's not been affected by the power

You'll have to fly out and get a tear while I stay here and keep Gigabyte from

the principal office.

All right, but I'll need a second pair of hands to help me.

Lassoing a tear is a tooth -bright job, you know.

Well, what should I do?

If you're not too busy, honey, you could fix me an energy shake.

My body armor took

some big hits out there, Fong. Anything you've got would help.

I have said it before and I will say it again.

This is not the supercomputer.

What the... I may be able to find something for you.

Thanks, Fong.

You and Glitch will be the largest source of energy out there. Please be

careful. I will, old friend.

I'm going to lure Gigabyte to floating point. You know what to do once he's

there.

Glitch, solid state mode.

I hope Bob knows what he's doing.

Sugar, I've known that Guardian a lot longer than you, and I've seen him get

of a lot tougher scrapes than this.

Now make yourself useful, honey, and help me scan for tears.

I haven't got a lot of time.

Glitch! Shield!

You cannot be serious, Guardian.

Do you expect to defeat me with these primitive weapons?

Enough talk. Let's do it.

Did you really think you could stand against me alone?

No!

I think I've got one.

It's about time. What are the coordinates?

I'm loading them into ship now.

That's it. We've got a lot.

We're in floating point, and hack and flash have got them occupied.

It's now or never.

Try and keep her steady while I go out and rope this thing.

Moving into final position, Mouth.

Be quick. There's a massive energy fluctuation. This is the weakest part of

containment field.

Tell me about it.

I thought I was a goner there.

Uh, listen, thank you, Dot. That was some mighty fine flying there.

I guess I owe you one.

No, now we're even.

Now let's get this tear back to mainframe before it's too late.

It's working, Fong. In a few more nanas, he'll be too far from the city to get

back. And there's nowhere for him to get energy from.

Apart from us!

Hack? Oh, Hack, speak to me.

I want to wake up.

Dread my friend of energy.

I...

What? He hurt my friend.

Fong, cancel everything I just said.

Gigabyte's back in town. I'm on my way.

Flash, come here.

Fong, right outside. Get ready.

Hack energy may enable him to... fly.

I have no alternative.

The shield must come down.

You know what to do.

All of this system's power, mine at last!

This is your last line of defense?

Two small sprites?

Two small sprites, that's right!

A girl!

A boy!

And his dog!

Get him, Frisket!

I hope this worked.

Well, it was Bob's idea.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Friskit!

It ends here, Gigabyte.

Oh, Friskit.

Friskit's all right. He's just drained and weak. He'll be fine.

None of you will be fine, Guardian.

Oh, I think we will.

Huh? Now!

You are just delaying the inevitable.

Exactly.

Energy! The power! The power!

Action! This power we can both use!

Glitch! Splitter!

But something worries me. The third portal?

You saw it, too?

Saw what?

Hey, Mouse!

That was some pretty random flying you did there. Couldn't have done it without

you. Actually, Bob, it was Dot flying my ship. She saved all our butts.

What were you saying? About seeing something, Bob?

Uh, yeah. When Glitch split Gigabyte, there were three signals.

Megabyte. hexadecimal, and a third one. I'm not sure why.

That's strange.

Did you track it?

Hey, guys, we did it! Chalk went up for the good guys!

Maybe so.

But I still think there's something rotten at the heart of Mainframe.
