1. I come from the Net,
Copy !req
2. through systems,
peoples and cities
Copy !req
3. to this place, Mainframe.
Copy !req
4. My format, Guardian.
To mend and defend.
Copy !req
5. To defend my
newfound friends,
Copy !req
6. their hopes and dreams.
Copy !req
7. To defend them
from their enemies.
Copy !req
8. They say the User
lives outside the Net
Copy !req
9. and inputs games
for pleasure.
Copy !req
10. No one knows for sure
Copy !req
11. but I intend to find out.
Copy !req
12. Reboot!
Copy !req
13. There he is!
There he is!
Copy !req
14. Look out!
He's getting away!
Copy !req
15. Charge!
Copy !req
16. Low clockspeed or what?
Copy !req
17. He's enveloped,
he's...
Copy !req
18. He's confined.
Confined.
Copy !req
19. He's trapped!
Trapped!
Copy !req
20. He's trapped! Yeah!
He's trapped.
Copy !req
21. I don't think so.
Copy !req
22. I hate it when this happens.
It's like a reckoning.
I do, too.
Copy !req
23. It's your fault,
and I hate it!
My arm!
Copy !req
24. Where's my arm?
Ouch!
Copy !req
25. Sorry, guys,
end program.
Copy !req
26. Better luck
next cycle.
Copy !req
27. Bob, all I ask
is a simple favor
Copy !req
28. and you put us
through all this.
Copy !req
29. Why?
Copy !req
30. Because I never do
favors for slime?
Copy !req
31. I don't know,
it's just a theory.
Copy !req
32. You're only making things
difficult for your friends.
Copy !req
33. My friends?
What do they have
to do with anything?
Copy !req
34. Think about it.
Copy !req
35. Ah!
Copy !req
36. Bob! We need you
at Dot's! It's terrible!
Copy !req
37. There's a new one.
Dot's is down.
Copy !req
38. Right.
Copy !req
39. This situation,
she is ridiculous!
Copy !req
40. I am a dedicated
server, not a maid!
Copy !req
41. Ever heard
of a door?
Copy !req
42. Ever heard
of a Frisket?
Copy !req
43. Bob!
Copy !req
44. We tried to quit-file
them, dude,
Copy !req
45. but it was
seriously default.
Copy !req
46. A major surge of goons
showed up at the diner
Copy !req
47. and started
to completely
offline the place.
Copy !req
48. I mean jack out, crash,
crunch, backslash,
delete, trash, log off...
Copy !req
49. Enzo!
What?
Copy !req
50. I think Bob
gets the picture.
Copy !req
51. That's for sure.
Copy !req
52. What I want to know
is who and why!
Copy !req
53. It's got to be Megabyte.
He did it to get to me.
Copy !req
54. But I'll take care of it.
It's my problem.
Copy !req
55. If Megabyte wants
something, Bob, it's
everybody's problem.
Copy !req
56. Yeah, what's up?
Copy !req
57. Tell us, Bob!
Yeah,
we'll help.
Copy !req
58. I can deal with it.
Copy !req
59. Yeah, but I can't deal
with the downtime.
Copy !req
60. Come on, Bob.
What is it?
Copy !req
61. Megabyte
wants some little favor.
He didn't say what.
Copy !req
62. Just a little
favor, eh?
Copy !req
63. Maybe you should
do it if it means
we can stay online.
Copy !req
64. No way.
Look, this isn't
the Supercomputer.
Copy !req
65. Around here,
we Mainframers
stick together.
Copy !req
66. And when it comes
to Megabyte, the answer
is always "No."
Copy !req
67. Hear, hear!
Copy-and-paste that!
Copy !req
68. Okay, okay.
No favors for
Mr. Megavirus.
Copy !req
69. I'm going to
file myself right here
Copy !req
70. to make sure
he doesn't trash
this place again.
Copy !req
71. Can I help, Bob? Huh?
This'll be cool!
Copy !req
72. We'll show them what
you Guardians are made of!
Copy !req
73. We'll edit, backslash,
and cancel his command!
Copy !req
74. I'm not afraid
of old Megabreath!
Copy !req
75. Bail!
Copy !req
76. My, my,
what a messy
establishment.
Copy !req
77. But we're still
in business.
Copy !req
78. Why don't you
place an order?
To go!
Copy !req
79. Such hostility!
Copy !req
80. I only want to know
if there is anything
I can do
Copy !req
81. to help the clean-up effort.
Copy !req
82. Hmm?
Copy !req
83. You could
erase yourself,
that'd help!
Copy !req
84. Charming.
Copy !req
85. You know, Bob,
Copy !req
86. all you have to do
is input one small favor
Copy !req
87. and I might be able
to keep this from
happening again.
Copy !req
88. No promises, of course.
Copy !req
89. Don't concern
yourself, Megabyte,
Copy !req
90. I'm staying right here
to make sure
nothing else happens.
Copy !req
91. I may be the new
sprite in town, but...
Copy !req
92. What a fortunate
return of events.
Copy !req
93. Warning.
Incoming game.
Copy !req
94. Warning. Incoming game.
Copy !req
95. As usual, they'll
all do so badly
inside the game.
Copy !req
96. How gratifying.
Copy !req
97. I want three legions
in the sector
to watch for Bob.
Copy !req
98. He'll try and get in.
Copy !req
99. O, your evil eminence!
Yes, sir!
You bet! Yes, sir!
Copy !req
100. Oh, we bow before thee.
Copy !req
101. Beautiful.
We're not worthy.
Copy !req
102. Sorry, Bob,
you can't play
any games
Copy !req
103. until you finish
your work for me.
Copy !req
104. I've got to get
into that game.
Copy !req
105. Bob, wait!
Copy !req
106. Hey!
Copy !req
107. I had a feeling
Megabyte's thugs
would be here.
Copy !req
108. Did I make it?
Copy !req
109. Oh! No, no, no...
Copy !req
110. Can they win
without Bob?
Copy !req
111. I hope...
Game over.
User wins.
Copy !req
112. Game over. User wins.
Copy !req
113. The whole sector's
nullified! Offline!
Copy !req
114. They lost!
Copy !req
115. It wasn't your fault.
Copy !req
116. There was nothing
you or we could do.
Copy !req
117. If I had just done
Megabyte his little favor,
Copy !req
118. none of this
would have happened.
Copy !req
119. Wait. Before
you do anything,
Copy !req
120. why don't you
talk to Phong?
Copy !req
121. All right.
Copy !req
122. You've won,
and proven yourself
worthy of my advice.
Copy !req
123. What did you need?
Copy !req
124. Well, Megabyte
has asked me
to do him a favor.
Copy !req
125. Ah, Megabyte.
Copy !req
126. My advice is to
stay away from him.
Copy !req
127. The Command Comm
has tried to erase him
at every upgrade,
Copy !req
128. but he's a very
clever virus.
Copy !req
129. Yeah, I'm
finding that out.
Copy !req
130. He has bad file servers
in almost every sector.
Copy !req
131. What is this favor
he wants?
Copy !req
132. He won't say.
Copy !req
133. I see. There is an old
Readme file that says,
Copy !req
134. "You should keep
your friends close,
Copy !req
135. "and your enemies
even closer."
Copy !req
136. Megabinary idea.
Copy !req
137. You be careful,
Guardian Bob.
Copy !req
138. I've seen that look
on young sprites before.
Copy !req
139. Don't be rash,
and don't do anything
on your own.
Copy !req
140. Here in Mainframe, we...
Copy !req
141. I know, I've already
heard that speech.
You stick together.
Copy !req
142. Don't worry, I'll go back
and talk to the others.
Copy !req
143. Thanks.
Copy !req
144. Oh, why, Bob!
How nice of you
to drop by.
Copy !req
145. I see now that you're
the big circuit in town.
Copy !req
146. I'll throw my chips in
with you.
Copy !req
147. Please, do come in.
Copy !req
148. Yes, my child?
Copy !req
149. Phong,
is Bob still there?
Copy !req
150. You mean,
he's not with you?
Copy !req
151. Oh, dear. Then I'm afraid
he may be at Megabyte's,
Copy !req
152. alone.
Copy !req
153. Alone?
Copy !req
154. I'm glad you finally
came to your senses, Bob.
Copy !req
155. Not being from Mainframe,
you'll have to forgive me.
Copy !req
156. It's taken me a while
to realize the advantages
of having
Copy !req
157. a friend like you.
Copy !req
158. A wise decision,
Guardian.
Copy !req
159. I won't disappoint you.
Copy !req
160. A Tear. It leads
to the Supercomputer.
Copy !req
161. Class 12. Normal pulse.
Above-average volatility.
Copy !req
162. You Guardians certainly
know your Tears, don't you?
Copy !req
163. That's the idea.
Copy !req
164. It's simple, Bob.
All you need to do
Copy !req
165. is stabilize this Tear
into a portal.
Copy !req
166. That's your favor?
That's what you need me for?
Copy !req
167. Precisely.
Copy !req
168. You know only Guardians
and games dropped by Users
Copy !req
169. are able to stabilize
Tears like these.
Copy !req
170. And I'm so much more
intimate with you now
than any User,
Copy !req
171. aren't I?
Copy !req
172. And these?
Copy !req
173. Oh, just some, uh,
Copy !req
174. colleagues
Copy !req
175. to make my visit,
shall we say,
Copy !req
176. comfortable.
Copy !req
177. Wait. Let a virus like you
and your army
Copy !req
178. visit the Supercomputer
through a stable portal?
I don't think so.
Copy !req
179. What guarantee do I have
that you won't spread
to the Supercomputer
Copy !req
180. and raid the Armory?
Copy !req
181. None, really.
Copy !req
182. We're going
to Plan B.
Copy !req
183. That's right,
take advantage
of Mr. Nice Guy.
Copy !req
184. Dot was right!
I should have...
Copy !req
185. Uh, what's Plan B?
Copy !req
186. Oh, quite
unpleasant, actually.
Copy !req
187. Glitch, key!
Copy !req
188. What are you trying
to do? Erase me?
Copy !req
189. If necessary.
Copy !req
190. Glitch!
Copy !req
191. There. Now let's
see you go through.
Copy !req
192. Now, Bob, must we go through
all these dramatics again?
Copy !req
193. If necessary.
Copy !req
194. Then I'll take you
with me as insurance.
Copy !req
195. How do you know
I'm not willing
to go through a Tear?
Copy !req
196. Psyche!
Copy !req
197. Hi, everybody.
Copy !req
198. She started
a big, uh, melee!
It was a...
Copy !req
199. A large one!
No, it was a ruckus!
Copy !req
200. A ruckus. A riot!
A riot! Outside!
Right outside!
Copy !req
201. That's what she did.
She was awful.
Copy !req
202. Riot?
They're harmless.
Copy !req
203. Don't bother me
with this now.
Copy !req
204. Take her back to the
Tower and file-lock her
in data storage.
Copy !req
205. The Tear!
Lock down the Tear!
Copy !req
206. That was some plan.
Copy !req
207. What plan?
Copy !req
208. I knew if I let Hack
and Slash capture me,
they'd take me to Megabyte,
Copy !req
209. and I figured
you'd be with him.
Copy !req
210. I'm making up the rest
as I go along.
Copy !req
211. You've been
around me too long.
Copy !req
212. Leaving? So soon?
Copy !req
213. How rude.
Copy !req
214. Warning.
Incoming game.
Copy !req
215. Warning. Incoming game.
Copy !req
216. Well! How convenient.
Copy !req
217. It seems I won't
be needing you
after all, Bob.
Copy !req
218. Reboot!
Copy !req
219. Reboot!
Reboot!
Copy !req
220. Reboot!
Copy !req
221. Reboot!
Copy !req
222. Look out!
Copy !req
223. That was close.
Copy !req
224. True,
but it's not the User
I'm worried about.
Copy !req
225. Where's Megabyte?
Copy !req
226. There!
With the User!
Copy !req
227. What's he doing?
Copy !req
228. Viral takeover.
He's infecting the User.
This is not good.
Copy !req
229. Bummer. Now we got
a Mega-User.
Copy !req
230. He's coming
around again.
Copy !req
231. No, he's not.
He'll head for the Tear.
It's a Class 12.
Copy !req
232. He knows the game
will stabilize it
into a portal.
Copy !req
233. Then we've got
to beat him there.
Copy !req
234. Alpha Wing clear of deck.
Copy !req
235. Proceed
heading 1138.
Copy !req
236. Stay frosty.
Copy !req
237. The Tear is now
a stable portal
Copy !req
238. at the end
of the third level.
Copy !req
239. We've got to nail Megabyte
before he can get to it.
Copy !req
240. Roger!
Copy that.
Copy !req
241. Affirmative, Wing Leader.
Copy !req
242. We got asteroids,
dead ahead.
Copy !req
243. He's trying to lose us!
Copy !req
244. Maximum shields!
Follow my lead.
Copy !req
245. Right!
Copy !req
246. Keep it tight, people.
Copy !req
247. We've lost Alpha 4!
Look out!
Copy !req
248. That was easy enough.
Copy !req
249. There he is!
Copy !req
250. Yeah, and it looks
like he has some friends.
Copy !req
251. Erase those meddlers
following me.
Copy !req
252. Hit the target icon
on the bridge.
Copy !req
253. Target in range.
Copy !req
254. Cover me.
I think I've got a shot.
Copy !req
255. Cool shot!
Copy !req
256. There it is. That cave.
That's the entrance
to the third level.
Copy !req
257. This place is
making me dizzy.
Copy !req
258. I'm on it.
Copy !req
259. Time to shut you down, Bob.
Copy !req
260. He's on your tail!
Yeah, right.
Copy !req
261. Too cool!
Copy !req
262. You don't have
to fight me, Bob.
Copy !req
263. Think about it.
Copy !req
264. We could be
a great team.
Copy !req
265. I'd rather be erased.
Copy !req
266. Your choice.
Copy !req
267. Glitch, safety line!
Copy !req
268. You had your chance
to join me, Bob,
Copy !req
269. but now
I'm going to infect
the Supercomputer
Copy !req
270. and return
to crush Mainframe.
Copy !req
271. Whoa!
Copy !req
272. Just thought
I'd drop in.
Copy !req
273. Glitch, disengage!
Copy !req
274. Game over.
Copy !req
275. It's unstable again.
Copy !req
276. You want to see
how much I hate to lose?
Copy !req
277. I'm back!
Copy !req
278. Did you miss me?
Copy !req
279. The Tear! It's gone!
Copy !req
280. But how?
Copy !req
281. Just a little command
I picked up at the Armory.
Copy !req
282. Like these two.
Copy !req
283. What are they?
You'll see.
Copy !req
284. Or maybe
you won't.
Copy !req
285. Adios!
Copy !req
286. It must have been
a return command!
Copy !req
287. They've gone back
to the diner!
Copy !req
288. Hurry!
Copy !req
289. Hidden file commands.
You gotta love 'em.
Copy !req
290. Once they were convinced
that you and Bob weren't
at the diner,
Copy !req
291. Megabyte and his
kludge-boys split.
Copy !req
292. Man, were they steamed!
Copy !req
293. You know, Bob, Megabyte
will never forgive you
for this.
Copy !req
294. Never.
Whatever.
Copy !req
295. I just hope he's got it
straight now.
Copy !req
296. When he messes
with one of us,
Copy !req
297. he messes
with all of us.
Copy !req
298. Sounds like you've been
hanging around me too long.
Copy !req
299. Bob, you gotta tell me.
What's it like
in the Supercomputer?
Copy !req
300. Well, it's got lots of RAM,
incredible capacity,
Copy !req
301. and you can access
almost anything.
Copy !req
302. It was nice to visit,
but it sure is good
to be home.
Copy !req
303. Oh, I don't get paid
enough for this!
Copy !req
304. Clean-up is not
my function!
Copy !req
