- Authorities are appealing for calm

throughout the evacuation process.

- [Disembodied Voice] Ebony.

(wind blowing)

- [Disembodied Voice] Ebony.

- Who's there?

(whooshing noise)

- [Disembodied Voice] Ebony.

I've been waiting for you.

(screaming)

- What is it, what did you see?

- Jay,

hold me.

- It was just a dream, that's all.

- I was so worried about you, did you miss Mommy?

(baby giggling)

What's happening?

- The usual, council of war,

everyone's making big important decisions.

- I know, I wasn't looking for a fight either,

but I don't see we have much choice, not now.

- Feels kind of funny, doesn't it?

- What?

- Just being back here, don't you think?

- It feels good to me,

like the Mall Rats are a real tribe again.

- What good's a tribe without a leader?

Oh come on, Salene?

She goes over to the Chosen

and now she thinks she can run the show.

I don't know what Pride thinks he's doing.

- Can't be easy for you.

I mean, coming back and seeing them together.

- Oh god, I didn't mean that.

Do you think I'm jealous, is that what you think?

- Oh, no, no, of course not.

- Are we gonna go to this meeting or not?

(soft music)

- Even though all their weapons are disabled

this isn't gonna be a walk in the park.

They're on home turf, that means if we let up

on the attack, even for a minute--

- We can't.

Once the attack begins, we can't let them regroup.

It's all or nothing, as long as everyone understands that.

- It could be worse, we've got the element of surprise.

- So you think.

- Lex.

- What if they've got one up on you?

What if they're waiting with their weapons

fully charged, ready to pick you off?

- We've been through this.

- Okay Lex, you've made your point so butt out.

You're not even gonna be there,

so it's not even your fight.

- As long as Siva's going this is my fight.

And just because I'm the only one that can see

you're walking into a trap...

Forget it, if you're so determined to get yourselves killed.

- Mouse?

- We need lookouts to go ahead and give the all clear.

It could be dangerous.

- I'll do it, I mean it doesn't matter

what happens to me, does it?

- Thanks, May, I'm sure you'll be fine.

- Come on guys, let's get something to eat.

We'll need all our strength for tomorrow.

(tense music)

(camera whirring)

- They'll arrive from the west, from sector ten.

- How many?

- [Mega] I'm not sure exactly,

enough to give us a fair fight.

- If it was a fair fight.

- Mall Rats, eh?

I should've seen the threat they posed from the beginning.

A little bit of pest control, that's all that was needed,

but we let our guard down, and almost paid the price.

- Well, we're taking care of it now, it's all that matters.

- What about the stun guns?

- Full power, as we agreed.

Don't worry Ram, it's all set up, nothing can go wrong.

- What's set up?

- What's going on?

- New software, you wouldn't be interested.

- Yes I would, try me.

It's just a game, Tai San.

Just another game, that's all.

(bright music)

- I'm rather fond of her, Tai San.

- I don't trust her,

even if Mega thinks she's been reprogrammed.

- If she hasn't, we'll just have to have her deleted.

- Ram?

- What is it?

- Don't get mad, okay?

- With you, my love, on today of all days?

- That's what worries me.

This battle is going to be your greatest triumph.

- But I'm not going to be here to enjoy the benefits.

Is that what you're saying?

It's not as though I'm leaving you, my Java.

It's just that this program can help me to live,

and live far better than I ever can in this world.

- I know all that.

- Well then?

- Once you're there, in reality space,

hooked up to the machines.

- I'm well aware that my body will be technically alive

but no longer viable to inhabit.

It's a one-way trip, Java, there's no coming back.

- What if you changed your mind?

- I won't, okay, I need you to give me your blessings.

I know that you'll always be there for me.

Oh, how I know that.

My one true love, my wife.

If only I'd have known that the others would betray me.

If only I had known that you would be the one

who would truly love me all along.

- You're missing breakfast.

- I'm not hungry, I can't be brave like you and the others.

- You don't have to be.

There's room for a mouse amongst all the rats.

And besides, I think you are brave, braver than you know.

- Amber, do we have to fight them?

Why can't we just move on?

I mean, we don't have to play the new game, right?

- No, you're right, we don't.

But the thing is, Mouse, that if they don't

get us with this one, then they'll get us with the next,

or the one after that, and we'll never really be free.

Look, try not to worry, we're gonna win this fight.

- Really?

- Of course.

I've got a little mouse of my own waiting for me.

Do you think I'd go into battle

and risk leaving him on his own,

if I wasn't absolutely sure?

- I want you to have this.

- It's lovely.

What is it?

- It's the CPU from the first computer I ever had.

It's my good luck charm, it'll keep you safe.

- Thanks.

- If you two lovebirds are ready, we're moving out.

- [Disembodied Voice] Ebony.

(wind blowing)

(tense music)

- Ebony.

Wow, are you okay, you look like you've seen a ghost.

- Do you have to sneak up like that?

- I wasn't sneaking up, I was looking for you.

- Oh?

- Yeah, I was thinking about what you said,

you know, about Jay?

- What about him?

- I wasn't entirely honest with you.

I guess I do kind of have feelings for him.

- Tell me something I don't know.

- Um, but I just wanted to say that, despite

what you think about me, and despite what you did.

Ebony, are you listening to me at all?

- What?

What are you trying to say?

- I'm trying to say that you've got nothing to fear from me.

I haven't given up on Bray and I don't think I ever will.

Look, I just want you guys to be happy, okay?

- Okay.

Sure.

- Good.

(soft music)

- We'll be back soon, I promise.

- We're as ready as we'll ever be.

- Just like old times, huh?

- We'll attack on my signal.

- Which is what?

- Vex, are you coming with us?

- I've got a feeling I'm gonna regret this,

but someone's gotta look after you.

- Ah, Lex!

- What are you smiling at?

- Okay, time to go.

(slow instrumental)

- Where's Mega?

- He's busy right now.

- Well everyone's busy, what's going on?

- Whoever told you that the technos fooled around

in paradise all day was leading you on.

Some of us actually have to work.

- No, no this is something else.

I'm not blind, Java, the guards are on red alert.

If there's some sort of emergency, I want to play my part.

I'm a techno now, remAmber?

- Maybe, you certainly act the part.

Guess there's no harm in telling you the truth,

you'll find out sooner or later.

- I want two guards outside as usual,

and another two just inside the door.

- No extra security?

- Every available man, but they'll be well hidden.

We don't want to give away the game.

It's gonna seem like just another

sleepy day in technoland, got that?

- Yes, Mega.

- Get on it.

- Let me through, let me through!

- Tai San.

(crying)

- Mega, I just heard you set a trap for the Mall Rats.

- You weren't supposed to know about this.

- You programmed me.

What was I meant to do when they arrived?

Watch them get blasted?

- Blast them yourself, if you were really one of us,

but I guess you failed that test.

Get her out of here.

(intense music)

- Get down.

(engine rumbling)

- Okay, we're in position.

(banging)

- Be careful, mate!

(nervous breathing)

- As much as I hate to agree with Lex--

- What's the problem?

- I don't know exactly, but something's not right.

Okay, we have to go, I'm serious.

- Ebony, this isn't like you.

- Look, I don't care, I mean it.

Jay, I don't like this, come on.

- It's too late to turn back.

Look Ebony, try and relax, okay, this is payback time.

- Yeah, well that's what I'm afraid of.

- What are we waiting for?

- We go in five minutes, Mega was very specific.

- Bet he was.

- Are you in or out, Lex?

- I'm here, aren't I?

- [May] Can you hear me?

- Yes May, I can hear you.

- All clear.

Wait a second.

(shouting)

- Get off me.

- Get those idiots away from her, they'll ruin everything.

- Get your hands off me.

- Leave her alone!

- Let me go!

- Incompetence.

- Ram, put these on.

- What are these?

- It's a new kind of headset I've been working on,

gives you a ringside seat.

You'll get to see all the monitors at once.

- Ringside seat, I like the sound of that.

(eerie music)

- Quick!

- Are you okay?

- What happened?

I thought you were supposed to keep an eye out for me!

- Look, I'm sorry, I screwed up.

- They were gonna arrest me and they

just seemed to change their mind.

- Look, we've got to warn Pride and the others.

- No, we've got to attack now,

before they get a chance to warn the rest of the technos.

- Amber, Pride, we've got to go in now,

repeat, attack the hotel now!

(bell dings)

- Get into position, they're coming.

Eliminate them all, we take no prisoners.

(shouting)

(lasers blasting)

(dramatic music)

- They're all deleted.

- I can't hear anything, do you think maybe--

- No, everything's okay.

The stun guns were disabled, remAmber,

we've just got to wait for the signal.

(beeping)

- Double check all systems, your leader's life

depends on you now.

- You know, I really was looking forward

to the battle, but try as I might

I cannot take pleasure in the demise of the Mall Rats.

(sobbing)

I feel sorry for all of them, the Verts.

- You've earned the right to live in paradise, after all...

you created it.

- [Ram] We'll all live there one day,

promise me, both of you, that once I'm gone

you will not fight, but you will work together.

- I promise.

- Me too.

(machines whirring and beeping)

- No!

(sobbing violently)

- [Ram] With your enemies destroyed,

this world will be yours to command.

Enjoy it, my children; see you in my dreams.

(emotional music)

(beeping)

Java, Mega?

What's going on?

Where are you?

(screams and sobs)

- Java, isn't it?

So how does it feel to be on the receiving end?

Not so nice, huh?

- That's all of them.

- You little weasel.

Hey Lex, how's business?

- Take her away.

- So Trudy was right.

- Tai San, I don't believe it!

- What happened to you, where have you been?

- Prisoner.

- Well, you're free now.

The precious technos are history.

- Why not forgive and forget, hey Lex?

- Why should we?

- Because Mega was the one who disabled all the weapons.

- [Dee] When we all burst in, they all tried to fire at us.

They were so surprised when they couldn't.

(cheering)

We were waiting outside with the second wave of militia.

- At first we didn't know whether

Mega had kept his promise or not.

- Everything's okay, the stun guns were disabled, remAmber,

we just have to wait for the signal.

- But you had nothing to worry about.

He really helped me.

- Tell her the best part.

- Oh yeah, our beloved boss thought

everything was going to plan.

He only saw what I wanted him to see:

the end of the Mall Rats.

What he didn't realize was

they were virtual Mall Rats getting wasted.

- Siva, Jay, Ebony, Pride, Lex, and I had all been scanned.

So Mega took those images and put on a little show for Ram.

- Using his own program.

All it took was a specially adapted headset.

- Ringside seat, I like the sound of that.

- Payback time.

- So, wait a minute, you're saying that

you gave Ram a whole new reality?

- Including a tearful sendoff into paradise.

I worked day and night on that one.

Even Ram couldn't tell it was fake.

- Try as I might, I take no pleasure

in the demise of the Mall Rats.

- But I mean, what happened to him?

Did he end up in paradise or what?

- Not exactly.

- Come on, come on!

(sobs)

(wheels spin)

- Java, Mega!

Where am I?

This isn't reality space!

This is real!

- I'm sorry I doubted you.

Well, it wasn't you so much as Mega.

- Look, I don't blame anyone for doubting him.

Okay, I wasn't absolutely sure, myself,

if you want the truth.

- Well, I'm happy that everything worked out alright.

- We can build a better world, everything I've dreamed of.

- What about the other dream, Jay?

Our dream?

- You mean us running away together?

That was before...

Look, we can still be together if that's what you want.

- But is that what you want?

(wind blowing)

- [Disembodied Voice] Ebony.

- What's the matter?

- [Disembodied Voice] I've been waiting for you.

- Ebony.

- Look, I'm fine, must just be the excitement.

I need a moment, okay?

- I really missed you, Tai San.

- I've missed you too, Lex.

Looks like there've been a few changes

while I've been gone.

- No, I haven't changed.

Have you?

- No, I'm still the same.

Just you wait and see.

(keys clicking)

(ominous music)

- [Disembodied Voice] Ebony.

- Who's there?

- [Disembodied Voice] Ebony.

(whooshing noise)

Ebony.

- I'm not scared of you.

What is this?

- Did you miss me?

- Get away.

- Come closer, let me look at you.

- No.

You're not Zoot.

Zoot's dead, it's impossible.

- All things are possible now that my prophecy's come true.

- Your, your prophecy?

- Don't you see it all around you?

What do you think is happening here, Ebony?

The technos have carried out my bidding

but their work is only half-done.

They gave you power, and now, as I predicted,

now comes the chaos.
