The Tearing
I come from the Net. Through systems, people, and cities, to this place - Mainframe. My format, Guardian: To mend and defend. To defend my new found friends, their hopes, and dreams, and 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!
Bob and Brogan are flying through the skies on there hoverboards, high above the city of Mainframe, being chased by Hack and Slash, two dum robots that work for a virus named Megabyte.
"There they are!" Hack and Slash yell at the same time as they dive toward the city.
"Can't they give us a break?" Brogan asks no one in particular.
"Look there getting away," Hack says to Slash,
"ao!" Slash replies.
"Charge!" Hack yells flying toward Bob and Brogan. They get into the city, Bob and Brogan stop on a road.
"Slow clock speed or what?" Bob asks Brogan, Brogan just shrugs in response. Then Hack and Slash line up on either side and charge at them.
"They're confined?"
"They're confined!"
"They're trapped!"
"Yes, they're trapped!" Hack and Slash yell at each other.
"I don't think so," Bob says as the two Fly up just enuff so the two robots crash into each other, their parts flying every ware.
"I hate this!" Hack yells at Slash.
"Where's my arm!" Slash yells as his arm falls right next to his head.
"Sary guys, end program, better luck next cycle," Brogan says with a big grin. Then out of nowhere a vid window appears in front of Bob.
"Bob all I ask is a simple faver and you put us through all this... why?" Megabyte says, he is a big purple like human, but also looks like a robot.
"Because I never do favors for slime? I don't know, it's just a theory," Bob says shrugging his shoulders. Megabyte sighs,
"You're only making things difficult for your friends," he says looking away.
"My friends!? What do they have to do with anything?" Bob asks starting to get concerned.
"Think about it," Megabyte replies making Bob and Brogan mad.
The next cycel in Bob's hotel room
Bob is sleeping in his bed so peacefully when an alarm clock goes off, waking him up. He gets showered and his hair combed automatically. Then (again) out of nowhere a vid window pops up with Enzo, a green-skinned little boy with a red hat that has his icon on it.
"Bob! We need you at Dotts and Rarity's Shop! It's terrible!" Enzo yells pushing his face up against the vid window.
"There's a new one, D and R is down," Bob says as he rides out of the hotel on his hoverboard.
Bob is getting close to D and R shop and dinner when Brogan and Rainbow Dash, both guardians, and with key tools named Glitch. They also both have rainbow hair, the only difference is the length, and there faces.
"Hi Bob, we got a message from Scottalloo that D and R is down," Dash says as they fly toward the shop.
"Ya! and from the way it looks, it's not good," He says as they land in front of the shop/dinner, which looks like it got robbed. Bob tries to step over the dog, which is sleeping in front of the door, the dog growls.
"R-right," Bob says nervously.
"This situation, she is ridiculous! I am a server not a made!" Cecil, the server for the dinner says madly as he moves on his rails. Right when he passes Dot and Rarity, Bob climes throw the broken window.
"You know there's a door darling," Rarity says to Bob, he turns to look at them.
"Have you ever hird of a frisket?" He asks as his hoverboard flyes in all chewed up. Brogan and Dash chuckle as they walk into the dinner.
"Bob!"
"Dash!" yells Enzo and scootaloo respectively as they run and tackle down dash and Bob.
"at least it was dash and not me," Brogan said smiling.
"We tried to quit filed them dud!" Enzo says making big arm gestures.
"But it seriously defaulted, a bunch of goons started to completely offline the place!" scootaloo says shaking dash.
"I mean trash, crash, delete, back slash.." The pare says at the same time getting up and standing on them. Dot walks over to Bob and Enzo.
"Enzo.." She says to her little brother.
"Scottallo.," Brogan says to scootaloo
"What?" The 2 say at the same time.
"I think Bob get's the picture," Dot says looking down at Bob who is flattened to the ground.
"I think Dash get's the pitcher," Brogan says looking down at dash.
"That's for sure," Dash and Bob say at the same time.
"What I want to know is who and why?!" Rarity says helping to put the table back up with dot. Bob and dash get up and walk over to the group with Brogan and scootaloo following.
"It's got to be Megabyte! He did it to get to Bob! But it's our problem, we will handle it," Brogan says looking at Dash and Bob, they both nod.
"If Megabyte want's something from you guy's it's all of our problems," Dot replied looking strict.
"Ya! Bob!" a Binom yells.
"Ya! What's up Bob!" another binom yells.
"We can deal with it," Dash says.
"Ya but I can't deal with the downtime, come on Bob what is it?" Rarity asks.
"Megabyte want's some little fave, but he didn't say what," Bob says sitting down by the table. Then Cecil comes over and pats him on the shoulder.
"Just a little faver hu? Then maybe you should do it if it means we can stay online," He says to Bob.
"No Way! look this isn't the supercomputer, around here we main framers stick together and when it comes to Megabyte the answer is always no!" Dot says shaking her head, Rarity nods her head in agreement.
"Copy and past that!" a binom yells as they other's join in until it dies down.
"Ok, ok no favors for mister mega virus, I am going to file my self right here to make sure he doesn't trash this place again!" Bob says as Dash and Brogan walk to either side of him and pat his shoulder. Then Cecil goes back to cleaning, as all the binoms scream in celebration.
"Can we help you guys! hu! this will be cool! we will show him what you gardeans are made of!" Scootalo yells then turn to Rarity to see a vid window appear. Scootalo run's and hid's behind Dash's back as Megabyte appears on the screen, Enzo completely oblivious.
"We will edit, cancel, backslash his command! I am not afraid of old mega breath," He says confidently turning around to see the vid window. "Bail!" He yells running and hiding behind Dot.
"My, my, what a messy establishment," Megabyte says smiling.
"But we are still in business!" Rarity and Dot say to Megabyte sternly.
"Why don't you place an order... to go!" Dot says, getting all up into the vid window.
"Such hostility, I only want to know if there is anything I can do to help the cleanup efforts?" He replays still smiling.
"You could erase your self, that would help," Scootalo says, poking her head out from behind Dash.
"Charming, you know guardians, all you need to do is input one small faver and I might be able to keep this from happening again," Megabyte says seriously.
"Don't concern your self Megabyte, I may be new here but I am staying right here to make sure nothing happens," Dash says crossing her arms. Then a warning sound's from the sky, they all look outside to see the sky turned pink.
("Now That's my color!"
"Pinky! I told you not to interrupt the story!"
"Ops, sorry mister narrator, carry on.")
now where were we... o ya. Then they saw a big pink block falling from the sky, with a voice saying "Warning in coming game!"
"What a turn of events," Megabyte says leaning back in his chair. "as usual they will all do so badly inside the game, how gratifying, I want 3 legends in the sector to watch for the guardians if they tried to get in,"
"yes master!"
"Yes, your evilness!" Hack and Slash go on for a little bit before stopping.
"Sorry Gardens, you can't play any games till you finish your work for me," He says smiling.
"we got to get into that game," Bob says, as the 3 fly of toward the game cube.
"Dash, Bob, Brogan what!" Rarity and Dot say trying to stop them but it's too late, the left on their hoverboards.
They fly by on the street to the game, when 5 ships appear all have megabits symbol. The 3 get surrounded by them, attempting to stop the trio.
"Hay!" Dash yells as one ram into her. Then Hack and Slash riding on a ship that blocks them. The trio slams into the ship and starts to fall as the hoverboards keep flying. Then out of nowhere, Dot, Enzo, and Scootalo catch the three in a car.
"I had a feeling Megabytes goons world be here," Dot says to the two kids.
"Did we make it?" Brogan asks in a drunken tone. Then, without answering they fly back to the diner, as the game cube lands and the sky goes back to normal.
Back at the dinner
"o..no...no...no.," Brogan says looking at his key tool, which has stats of the games energy level, the higher it is the more likely they are losing. Bob and Dash are also looking at there key tools. Dot, Enzo, and Scootalo get out of the car.
"Can they win without them?" Scootalo asks as they walk over to the guardians.
"I hope," Dot says, but right then the Game cube disappears with the narrator saying,
"Game Over, the user wins," When the game cube is gone they see... nothing, the whole sector nullified.
"The whole sector's nullified! Of line!" Enzo says looking in shock.
"They.. lost!" Dash says as Bob and brogan look down in despair.
"Well it wasn't your guy's fault, there was nothing that you... or we could do," Scootalo says looking at the guardians.
"If we just had done Megabyt's Faver! none of this would have happened!" Brogan yells in anger. Brogan, Bob, and Dash are ready to head to megabyte until Dot stops them.
"Wat! Before you do anything, why don't you talk to Phog and twilight," Dot says to the three, they all nod and fly away on there hoverboards.
They stand in the principle's office, where Bob is playing pong with Phog. The others stand to the side with Twi.
"Tell me again why we had to do this?" Dash ask's Twilight.
"Two reasons, one he likes to challenge people..eh sprite, and two because it's his favorite game," She says plainly. They watch on to see it's 3-3, one more score and they win. Phog has the puck and is bouncing it between his hands.
"Uuu... Begin!" Phog yells as he hit the puck to the wall, it bounces off the wall and Bob hit's it back. Phog can't get to it in time so Bob wins. Phog is a wise little robot that most sprites turn to. "You have won my game and my knowledge.. what did you guys want to know," He says as everyone walks up to him. Brogan is shaking his head.
"Megabyte asked them to do him a "Faver"... remember?" Twilight asks the old sprite.
"A... Megabyte, my advice is to stay away from him, the command com has tried to erase him at every up grade, but failed," he says looking at the guardians. "What is this "Faver" he want's?" Phog asks Bob.
"He won't say," Bob replies shrugging.
"Aa... I see, there is an old readme file that says, keep your friends close and your enemies closer," He says as twilight walks over to his side.
"Megabidrean Idea," Dash says looking away and smiling like a dork.
"o.. but do be careful Dash, I have seen that look on young sprites before," Phog says pointing a finger at Dash, who, in response blushes. Brogan just rolls his eyes,
"Come on let's go talk to the other's," Brogan says as Bob and Dash walk with him.
"We're not going back are we," Dash asks Brogan. Brogan shake's his head,
"We are taking this to Megabyte!" Brogan says determinedly.
The three land in front of Megabyte's tower and knock. Then a vid window of Megabyte appears.
"O my! guardians, do please, come in," he says as the door opens and they walk in.
Back at Dot's and Rarity's shop and Dinner
They just cleaned up everything. Enzo, Dot, Rarity, and Scootalo are standing inside finishing up. They sit down at the bar and call Phog. He answers with the vid window showing his whole face.
"Yes? My child?" Phog asks Rarity.
"Phog... Darling, are the guardians still there?" Rarity asks as both Enzo and Scootalo gag at her wording.
"You mean, they aren't with you?" Phog ask as they shake there heads no. "o dear... Then I am afraid they might be at megabytes!" He answers in distress.
"o..no!" Scootalo yells.
"Back at Megabytes tower"
"I am glad you guys finally came to your senses," Megabyte says as they step onto the platform. It starts moving down.
"oo.. cozy," Bob says sarcastically.
"you have to forgive me and Brogan, we aren't from here. So we don't know the advantages of having a.. friend." Dash says sarcastically of course and also saying that last word with disgust.
"a wise desition Guardians," Megabyte replies as the platform stops in what looks to be an armory.
"Well... that's a big army," Dash whispered to Brogan as the platform moves forward. They eventually stop at a big door, it slowly opens to reveal a Tear.
"a tear, it leads to the supercomputer," says Bob looking at his key tool.
"It's a class 12, normal pulse, above average alterity," Dash says looking at her own key tool which shows the status of the tear.
"You guardians sure know your tears," Megabyte replies.
"That's the Idea," Brogan says looking back at him with disgust.
"It's simple Brogan, all you need to do is stabilize the tear into a portal," He explains to Brogan.
"That's your fave? That's what you need us for?" Dash asks Megabyte.
"Precisely, you know only Guardians and games can only stabilize tears," Megabyte explains like is talking to a child. Which makes Brogan mad.
"and what about the binoms?" Brogan asks pointing to the army of binoms.
"o.umm.. just some colleagues to watch," He replies back.
"Wait, let a virus like you into the supercomputer, I don't think so," Brogan says walking forward to the computer keeping the tear from going crazy.
"O, you know you just making this harder," He says as a vest raps around Brogan and puls him back. Then he comes face to muzzle with Chrysalis.
"Chrysalis! what are you doing here!?" Dash yells at her as she walks to the computer with Brogan in hoove... eh magic?
"I'm just trying to get back to our world by helping Megabyte over here," She says lining Brogan up with the tear and shoots him toward it.
"Glitch! Key!" Brogan yells as Glitch attaches it's self to the tear stabilizing it, he gets shoved throw and is pulled back out. Then Glitch returns to him. "What are you trying to do erase me!" Brogan yells at Megabyte.
"If necessary," He replies back.
"Hi everybody," Sweety bell says being held by Hack wile Scootalo is being held by slash.
"They started a riot,"
"Ya! they started one!" The two robots say.
"Riot? there harmless," Megabyte says looking mad. Then dash walks over and kicks down the computer making the tear unstable. "The tear! lock down the tear!" He says as Brogan is thrown to the side by Chrysalis and Hack and Slash drop sweety and Scootalo. The Binoms start to explode as a warning siren goes off. The giant doors close stabilizing the tear. Then the Guardians, Sweety bell, and Scootalo ride the platform up the tower again.
"That was some plan!" Dash says to Scootalo and Sweety bell.
"What plan? I new if Hack and Slash capture us, they would take us to you guys. We are making up the rest as we go on," Sweety bell explains.
"I think you have been hanging around us too long," Brogan says trying to get the vest off. Then all of a sudden he gets pulled down by Megabyte. Scootalo runs over and pushes the button, releasing Brogan and making Megabyte fall.
"It was that simple?!" Brogan says standing up. The group looks over the edge to see Megabyte scaling the sides like a cat.
"o boy!" Bob says nervously. When they finally stop at the top Megabyte is there. They all scream in surprise and shock.
"Leaving? So soon, How rude!" Megabyte says smiling. Then out of nowhere a game starts to fall on them.
"Warning, incoming game," Says the announcer.
"Well, how convenient? I guess I won't need you guys after all," Megabyte says running off into the shadows as the gang gets engulfed in the game.
In The Game
They are standing on a big launch pad in space.
"A space game? Cool," Brogan says as they line up, along with other Binoms.
"ReBoot!" They all yell as they double tap there Icons over there heart. Then they all turn into astronauts.
"Look out!" Dash says ducking with the others as the user comes by and destroys all but 20 of the ships. They get up and look at the user. "Wow, that was close,"
"ya, no kidding," Brogan replies looking at dash.
"We shouldn't be worried about the user, it should be mega breath," Scootalo says running up to them, with Sweety Bell behind her.
"Ya! were is he," Bob asks as they look around.
up in the air, the user is coming back for a second round when Megabyte climes on to the ship and takes over.
"There! with the user! but what is he doing?" Sweety asks pointing at the user as they fly by.
"Viral take over, he is infecting the user, this is not good, bummer, now we have a Mega user," Brogan explains as The Mega user flies by.
"He's heading for the tear!" Dash yells.
"It will be in the center of the planet," Bob explains.
"Then we got to beat him there," Brogan says as they all climb into the remaining ships and take off towed the planet.
"Alph wing clear of deck, preceding to head 1138, Stay frosty!" Dash says getting a few weird looks. "What! I all was wanted to say that," She says blushing.
"The tear is now a stable portal at the end of the third level, we have to nail Megabyte before he can get to it," Brogan tells they others as they fly toward an asteroid belt.
"asteroids dead ahead!" Scootalo says as they come into view.
"he's trying to lose us, maximum shields, follow my lead," Bob says going into the asteroid belt with the other's following. They get to the halfway point.
"Keep it tight people," Dash says still following Bob. After a little will on of the Binoms crash.
"we lost Alpha 4, 6, and 10!" Bob yells as he heads straight for an asteroid.
"Bob! look out!" Sweety yells at him, he turns to see the asteroid.
"I don't think so," Bob says as he shoots a hole into the asteroid and flies throw with the rest following. "That was easy enough," He says getting a dirty look from Scootalo as they keep going.
"There he is!" Dash yells as they exit the asteroid belt and head to the Planet.
"That's trouble," Brogan says as a giant ship with Megabytes logo on it.
"eras those meddlings fallowing me," Megabyte says to his minions. Then all guns point to the group as they get closer. Megabyte heads toward the planet as they start firing on the group.
"And make that double!" Scootalo says as Sweety just shakes her head.
"Hit the target Icon on the bridge," Bob says to everyone.
"Target in range," Brogan says as the sensor picks up the icon.
"Cover me I think I have a shot," Sweety says as Brogan goes in front of her. "Pull, now!" She yells shooting as Brogan pulls up. The hull thing explodes and withers.
"Nice shooting," Dash says as the group heads into a tunnel.
"wherein the third level now," Brogan says as they keep flying, dodging all the rocks.
"This place is making me dizzy," Scootalo says shaking her head. They keep on flying until Brogan targets Megabyte.
"I think I got him!" Brogan says firing at him but missing. Then behind them, the cave starts to crumble.
"o boy," Dash says as they fly faster. They fly out into a clearing wich holds the portal. Then Megabyte flies behind Bob.
"Time to shut you down Bob," he says.
"He's on your tale!" Brogan yells at Bob.
"Ya right," Bob chuckles as he then slows down and flies behind Megabyte. He then proceeds to shoot him, destroying his ship. Then Megabyte grabs onto Bob's ship ripping the glass protection off.
"you don't have to fight me, Bob, think about it, we could be a great team," Megabyte asks Bob, who is getting mad.
"I would rather be erased," He replies.
"your choice," Megabyte says as he jumps off, cutting off one of Bob's wings sending him spinning. The peace crashes into the others, deleting their ships.
"Glitch! safety harness!" Bob says as glitch makes a rope attaching it's self to the ceiling, saving Bob.
"You had the chance to join me, Bob! but now I am going to infect the supercomputer, and no one can stop me," He says to no one. Then the group falls to the ground, Megabyte catching Dash on accident.
"umm, just dropping in," Dash says before he drops her. Bob grapples to the portal and then yells,
"Glitch! disengage!" He falls into the portal finishing the game and returning them back into Megabytes tower.
"It's unstable again, You want to see how much I hate to lose," He says to the group standing by the tear. He then shows off his claws scaring Scootalo and Sweety out of there minds, but before he can do anything Bob comes back throw the portal.
"Hi, I'm back..." He says as the portal disappears."Did you miss me?" He asks, he gets an answer with Scootalo and Sweety smiling.
"The tear it's gone! but how!?" Megabyte asks them.
"Just a little command I picked up at the armory, like these ones," He says as 5 yellow balls float above them.
"What are they?" he asks.
"you will see, or better yet, not see... by," Bob says as the group disappears.
"It must have been a return command! they went back to the diner!" He says walking away.
"Hiden file command... you got to love these," Brogan explains.
Back at D and R's Dinner and shop
Enzo is tocking to The little group of friends.
"once we convince them that you guys weren't at the dinner, Megabyte split," Enzo says finishing up.
"you know guys, Megabyte will never forgive you for this," Rarity says, Dot agreeing.
"Whatever, I just hope he has it straight when he messes with one of us.." Dash starts.
"He messes with all of us," Brogan says finishing her line.
"Uuu... I don't get paid enough for this! clean up is not my function," Cecil says as we see the Dinner/Shop all broken again.
