Trouble Has Come v. 4.1.1
Synopsis: All is well in Mainframe. Megabyte is somewhere in the Web, Silicon Tor has been deleted, Hexadecimal good, etc. Hack and Slash (being the nosy things they are) look around the P. O. at all the buttons. Hack (the red one) finds a button that says, "Portal". They do their usual griping ('You push it!' 'No you push it' Every time I push something something bad happens) until Hack presses it, creating a Portal in the P. O. Unfortunately, Hack and Slash twiddle some dials and end up sucking all the Sprites that were in the P.O. into the Portal. But almost all of the Sprites were in the P.O. anyway. Hex was in Lost Angles, but hears of the news and hurries before it's too late. She goes in, it closes, and then something bad happens...
It was a beautiful day in Floating Point Park. Bob was there with Dot just sitting on a bench, thinking of past times.
"Well, Dot. I have to congratulate you." Bob said.
"On what?" Dot said.
"Being the sucessful business woman you are! I don't think anyone could store all the things you own in their memory!"
Dot blushed. "Thanks. How about we go get an energy shake from the diner?"
"Okay."
Meanwhile, Matrix and AndrAIa were at the diner with little Enzo.
"Man this is so alphanumeric! Megabyte is gone, and Hexadecimal is non-viral!" Enzo said.
"Yeah, but still random." AndrAIa said.
"Some things never change." Matrix said.
Bob and Dot came in. Enzo bowled him over, of course.
Mouse and Ray were just zipping around town just looking.
Meanwhile in the P.O., Phong was looking through the files in the Read-Only Room.
"Hmm. Ah yes. Access Viral History Information." Phong said. The screen showed him the history of Megabyte and Hex. Suddenly Phong gasped. "Oh dear! I must get everyone!"
Phong spread the news to everyone. They quickly sped to the P.O.
"What Phong?" Bob said.
"I have accessed some very important information from the Read-Only Room. Come! I shall show you!" the old sprite said.
Elsewhere in the P.O., Hack and Slash were looking around.
"Wow look at all of these buttons." Slash said.
"Yes! Ooooo, look at this one!" Hack said.
"What does it do? Hey the label says 'Portal'"
"A portal! Wow!"
"Push it to see what happens!"
"No you push it!"
"You!"
"You!"
"Everytime I push something something bad happens!"
"Okay, I'll push it." Hack pushed it, and a Portal appeared in the Read-Only Room, which Phong and the others had not gotten to yet.
"What happened?" Slash said.
"I don't know. Maybe if I turn this..."
"And I push this..."
At that point the Read-Only Room door was pushed open, and almost at once the sprites got sucked in.
In Lost Angles Hexadecimal was on her throne, looking through her looking glass. She saw what was happening at the P.O. and gasped.
"Oh dear! I must save them!" she said. She hurried there, but by now Hack and Slash had gotten the portal right in front of the door to the P.O. Hex was sucked in.
"Should we stop?" Hack said.
"Yes." Slash said.
"Okay! How do we stop?"
"Let me press this 'Close' button." Slash did and the portal closed.
"All done!" But then a tear appeared above the place where the Silicon Tor used to be. It became a Portal, and something came out of it. The portal closed, and the something yelled out some words. He then opened a Vidwindow. It appeared before Hack and Slash.
"Hey who is that?" Hack said.
"I cannot see. He is covered by something." Slash said.
"Thank you Hack and Slash. Now I can control all the Viral binomes again!" thew cloaked figure siad.
"Uh-oh" Hack and Slash said together.
The cloaked figure began to use some magical powers to bring all the turned-non-viral binomes back to viral state. He quickly called them all to G-Prime.
"Now that I have everyone back, and all the sprites gone, I can rule Mainframe!" the cloaked figure said. The viral binomes cheered. But in the shadows a One and a Zero were watching.
"Oh no! Zee viral binomes have come back to life! Hurry! We must go to the lab!" the One said. They pulled out zipboards and hurried to Level 31.
The pair landed in front of a restaurant next to Al's called The Lab. He went in.
"Ah! Professor Einnome! Good to see you!" the waiter said.
"No time! Zee viral binomes have come back to life! We must stop them!" the Professor said. He went through a locked door to his lab. He rummaged through his inventions. "Ah! Here it is!" He ran out of the lab, giving a gun to his assitant, and sped off.
Back at the P.O. Hack and Slash were arguing.
"You shouldn't have pushed it!" Slash said.
"Me? You were the one who said 'Let's go look around'!" Hack said.
"Well you pushed it!"
"So what?"
"Everything!"
"Wait. We ahould stop this person before Mainframe is doomed."
"Doomed? I do not like that word!"
"Forget it."
The two sped off towards the viral binomes arguing all the way.
The first target of the evil binomes was the Diner, which was quickly diminshed, except for one little part, which Cecil was hanging from.
"This is not good for business!" he cried.
The viral binomes split into groups, taking over a little at a time.
Meanwhile the scientist and his assitant sped towards Taskbar Towers, hoping to save the binomes there.
"Hurry Professor! There are the virals!" his assistant said.
The two hurried inside, unnoticed by the other binomes.
"Here zey come!" the Professor said.
Yeah it was short. But good! Next up: 4.1.2: Under Viral Rule.
