Scene: A portal from the Web opens in the sky above Mainframe and the 'Saucy Mare' emerges to begin sailing around the city, a short distance out to sea; Bob, Matrix, AndrAIa, Frisket, and Capacitor are on deck... completely shocked by what they see.
Capacitor: (low-voiced shock) By the code!
AndrAIa: (low-voiced shock) No!
Matrix: But... Dot!
Bob: Don`t worry... She`s a Matrix! You survived... I...I know she`ll have found a way to do the same!
Capacitor: (still shocked) Every sector has been destroyed!
Matrix: (low-voiced anger) Megabyte will pay for this!
Bob: If he`s still here! It looks pretty quiet. Let`s get a closer look!
AndrAIa: I`m needed below decks... the Mare`s nowhere near battle-ready! And it looks like we may need her!
Matrix: (to Bob) Let`s do it! (they grab zip-boards and fly off towards the city)
AndrAIa: Stay frosty, boys!
Scene: Bob and Matrix fly over the sea-wall near the ruins of Silicon Tor...
Matrix: I don`t understand... we had the viruses contained with a firewall!
Bob: Looks like it was blown apart from the inside!
Matrix: Hex must`ve gotten free! I`ll bet she was pretty mad...!
Flashback Sequence 1: An intact Silicon Tor with the firewall still up, then the lower sections explode, followed by the tower`s explosion. Emerging from the chaos is Hexadecimal, clutching the collar around her neck.
Hexadecimal: (breaks collar in two) Ungh! No longer will I wear your shackles, brother! Now it is my turn to RATTLE YOUR BONES!! (she releases an energy bolt towards the tower, decapitating it, then another up into the firewall... overloading it.) End Flashback Sequence 1.
Matrix: Hex took out the firewall, alright! (kicks a burnt-out sender) Overloaded!
Bob: And it looks like Megabyte fought back! (points to wrecked A.B.C.) Viral scortch-marks!
Matrix: Hey, look at this! Hex brought reinforcements!
Bob: Huh! Nulls! ...and lots of them! (null comes out of hiding, startling them both)
Flashback Sequence 2: A 'sea' of nulls devour anything in their path, while Hexadecimal air-dances above them; Hack and Slash leading four A.B.C.s come into view...
Slash: Uh-oh! Hack! I think she`s seen us!
Hack: (panicked) Oh we`re in trouble BIG trouble!
Hack and Slash: AHHHH!! (Hexadecimal fires a bolt of energy that blows them apart, scattering their pieces)
Hexadecimal: Oh! Ha ha ha! (as A.B.C.s fire upon her, she dodges while laughing; a mound rises up from the nulls and batters an A.B.C. to the ground... then they swarm over it and devour it completely.) End Flashback Sequence 2.
Bob: But the question is...
Matrix: (finishing the question) ...Who won?
Bob: I think the answer might be over there! (points to Princepal Office)
Scene: Interior of Princepal Office, Megabyte`s throne-room.
Viral Spy: Hmmm... he looked a little different, Sir, but I`m sure it was Bob!
Megabyte: So the Guardian survived the Web. Well, his return can mean only one thing... Megaframe is back on the `Net! Herr Doktor!
Herr Doktor: Ja-vohl, Lord Megabyte!
Megabyte: Herr Doktor, I have ruled over this dead city for too long. It is time to leave!
Scene: Bob and Matrix on zip-boards flying through the city`s ruins towards Princepal Office.
Matrix: (seeing that the Princepal Office has been taken over by Megabyte, in low-voiced shock) No! (when a watchtower guard turns a spotlight on them, Matrix cuts loose a bellow of inarticulate rage and attacks!) DRAAAAHHHH!! (shoots out spotlight)
Bob: Matrix! NO!
Tower Guard: Uh-oh! We`re under attack! Scramble the troops!
Scene: A.B.C.s are launched in response and Matrix knocks one from the sky with a single shot, and takes cover behind it when it hits the ground. When he rises up to get a clear shot, his zip-board is blown out from under him... throwing him and his gun to the ground apart from each other. Recovering quickly, he dives and grabs his gun as an A.B.C. takes aim and fires before he can move or defend himself. Just as the energy bolts are about to hit, a glow forms around him and deflects the bolts as Bob has extended an energy shield around him. The A.B.C. then fires on Bob, who moves out of the way and fires an energy bolt of his own that destroys the A.B.C. Then with the same hand, he points to a nearby tear and stabilizes it into a portal - then using the energy shield around Matrix, pushes him through the portal before diving through himself, closing the portal behind him.
Tower Guard: (to himself) Those rebel scum... will they never learn?
Scene: An alley in another part of Mainframe, as a portal opens and Matrix and Bob emerge and fall roughly to the ground.
Bob: Unh! Let`s not try that again!
Matrix: I can`t believe it... Megabyte`s in the Princepal Office!
Bob: He would have needed a new place to set up shop!
Flashback Sequence 3: Outside the Princepal Office, from the direction of G-Prime. Dozens of A.B.C.s line up facing the Princepal Office as Megabyte`s limo pulls up. The window facing G-Prime opens and Megabyte looks towards the ruins of his Tor, as Herr Doktor nonchalantly changes tv channels beside him. The Princepal Office is seen out his window.
Megabyte: Herr Doktor... I need a new place to set up... shop!(looks out other window, chuckles and casually points to Princepal Office) Yes, that will do nicely! (opens vid-window to Binome Commander, as shots come from Princepal Office) Fire when ready! (closes v-w, looks to Herr Doktor and shrugs for his opinion)
Herr Doktor: Oh-0ho very good... ja, ja, ja... okay, mein Grossen-biter (laughs insanely as he moves to window to watch as the A.B.C.s fire on the unshielded Princepal Office) End Flashback Sequence 3.
Bob:Can this get any worse?
Hack: Reach for the sky!
Slash: Yeah! Nobody move! (their commands seem to conflict and they argue briefly, then...)
Hack and Slash: Reach for the sky and then don`t move! Yeah!
Scene: Interior section of Princepal Office; Herr Doktor is working on something and just takes a bite of a sandwitch, when...
Megabyte: Herr Doktor! What progress have you made on my travel arrangements?
Herr Doktor: (trying to swallow quickly) Ah... um... vell, za Princepal Office has all ve need to create suitable tears, mein Grossen-biter, but zey are useless vizout za codes vich turn zem into portals!
Megabyte: Indeed!(pauses, considering) Then let us talk to the head!
Herr Doktor: (uncertainly at first) Ohhh! Oh ho ho ho! Oh ho ho ha ja, ja! Oh, you are such a... ah haha!(trails off with a terrified expression)
Scene: The alley, as Hack and Slash face-off with Bob and Matrix; Matrix pulls his gun and aims at them, frightening them.
Bob: Easy, Matrix! They were never that bad!
Hack: Uhmm... Slash, old buddy?
Slash: Yes, Hack?
Hack: Does that not... look a little bit like... Bob?
Slash: Like Bob? Why, yes it does! Hah ha!
Hack and Slash: BOB!(they rush over to a confused Bob)
Hack: Oh, Bob!
Slash: Bob!
Hack: Oh we have missed you so much, bob! You have no idea!
Slash: Yeah!
Hack: Oh! Oh! I like the new hair! It is very exiting!
Slash: This is a great look for you!
Bob: (overwhelmed) Whoa, whoa, whoa... easy boys!
Slash: Bob... who is that big green fellow?
Bob: That`s... Enzo!
Hack: Oh! Enzo! It is a good thing he`s on our side!
Slash: You bet! (then it hits them...)
Hack and Slash: ENZO!!
Slash: Oh my goodness!
Hack: Oh, boy... wait `till she sees you!
Slash: Oh, yeah!
Hack: She is gonna have a conniption!
Slash: Come on, let`s go see Dot!
Bob and Matrix: (suprised) Dot?
Hack: Yes! We have been taking very good care of Dot!
Slash: Oh, yeah! Very good!
Hack: Very good indeed!
Slash: Just like a baby in our arms!
Hack: Just like! (they begin to lead Bob and Matrix to Dot; then, to Slash...) Goodness! I wonder what happened to his eye?
Slash: Gee, I don`t know, but i wouldn`t want to see the other guy!
Hack: Wouldn`t want to be seen?
Slash: Nah!
Scene: Dot`s rebel headquarters; Dot, Mouse, and various binomes.
Dot: I need those intelligence reports A.S.A.P.!
Nerdy Binome: Yes, sir! Uh... Ma`am!(moves off as Hack and Slash enter room)
Hack: Oh! Oh! Oh! Dot! Look!
Slash: We have brought you a suprise!
Hack: Yes, a very big suprise!
Slash: Huge! (they stand aside, revealing Matrix; Dot looks at him with mild confusion - not recognizing him, until...)
Matrix:(slightly nervous) Uh... hi, sis!
Dot: (low-voiced, incredulous suprise) Enzo? (sobs) Enzo! Oh, Enzo! (runs to Enzo and hugs him, crying) I... I thought you were nullified! I thought I`d lost everything!
Enzo: (quietly to her) I had a promise to keep. I brought Bob home!
Dot: (incredulous) Bob`s here? (Enzo moves aside to reveal Bob... being kissed for all he`s worth by Mouse!)
Bob: (very suprised) Heh, it`s ah... nice to see you too, Mouse! (looks over and sees Dot watching) Dot! (slightly nervous) Heh!
Dot: Bob... g...good to have you home! (an awkward moment ensues as they can`t decide how to greet each other; a confused Bob has to settle for a mere handshake, then...) AndrAIa! Is she with you? What about Frisket... is he okay?
Enzo: They`re both fine! They`re on the 'Saucy Mare', helping the pirates!
Mouse: The pirates? That`s great! You brought the cavalry, sugar! (to Dot) Now your plan can work!
Bob: Where`s Phong? (at this question, Dot and Mouse look at each other... neither really wanting to tell the tale...)
Flashback Sequence 4: Princepal Office War-room as the virals attack. (see Flashback Sequence 3!)
Mouse: (as building shakes from attack) This is not good!
Nerdy Binome: Sir! The inner defences are failing! We can`t hold them off any longer!
Dot: We have to!
Nerdy Binome: (terrified) AH! Viral troops have entered the Princepal Office!
Phong: We must evacuate... now!
Dot: We can`t abandon the Princepal Office!
Phong: Megabyte has won this battle, my child, but you must survive to ensure that he does not win the war!
Dot: (reluctantly) Give the evacuation code signal... nine-seven-one-three! (the signal is sent and a hidden passageway opens in the wall) Phong?
Phong: Go, my child! I will buy you the time you need! Hack! Slash!
Hack and Slash: Yes sir, your Phongship!
Phong: You will be looking after Dot from now on!
Slash: But... Phong?
Phong: No arguements, now! I rebuilt you for a reason... and this is it! Run along. (they pass reverently on either side of him as the doors to the War-room begin to dent from impact on the other side; to Dot...) You must leave!
Dot: But... Phong! (looking sadly at Phong)
Mouse: (grabbing Dot by arm) Come on! (they leave and the passageway closes and blend in with rest of wall; Phong strikes a contemplative pose as Megabyte finally tears through doors, standing back-lit and triumphant, extends claws as...)End Flashback Sequence 4.
Mouse: ...And we don`t know what happened to him!
Bob: I think I have a pretty good idea!
Scene: Interior of Princepal Office, Herr Doktor`s new interrogation lab; Megabyte stands by a console as Herr Doktor enters a sequence causing a large 'bell jar'-like tank to rise, containing Phong`s severed head.
Megabyte: Ah, Phong! And how are we feeling today?
Phong: Spare me your platitudes, virus!
Megabyte: (in a reasonable voice) Very well. You have some information I require!
Phong: I will tell you nothing, Megabyte!
Megabyte: (pleased voice) Excellent! (to Herr Doktor) Prepare the extraction device! I thought I`d ask nicely, but my scientists do so enjoy their work!
Herr Doktor: Zrow ze svitch! (Bunny-slipper, the Franken-binome, does so... causing three electrodes to enter through the sides of the jar; charges are then emitted through Phong`s head, causing him to cry out in agony as the information is forcibly extracted by Herr Doktor`s machine)
Megabyte: (stopping Herr Doktor after two codes have been extracted) Come now, Phong! Spare yourself the pain!
Phong: (weakly whispers...) I... I will fight you to the last, virus!
Megabyte: Fight all you want, you old fool! Heh heh! You`re merely delaying the inevitable! (laughs an evil laugh and gestures to Herr Doktor to continue the extraction)
Scene: Dot`s inner office at rebel headquarters; Dot is alone, at her desk and is upset to the point of tears about something, as Mouse enters the room.
Mouse:Okay, sugar, what do you think you`re doin`?
Dot: (caught off-guard) Oh! Mouse. I... I was just... uh...
Mouse: (interupts) Can the fearless leader routine! I want to know what`s goin` on between you and Bob! If you`re still mad about that little kiss I gave him...?
Dot: ...No! No, it`s not that.
Mouse:Then what in the `net is it?
Dot: I can`t face him! Not after what I did! I gave up hope. I didn`t think he`d ever come back! I... I stopped believing in him!
Mouse: Dot, honey, we`ve all lost hope, and we`ve all changed... exept for one thing - your love for that sprite out there... and his love for you. Go to him.
Dot: You`re right, Mouse. Thank you!
Scene: The Princepal Office, as the last sequence of the first half of the portal code is extracted... causing the sphere above to explode into a tear.
Herr Doktor: Phase vun is complete, Lord Megabyte! (chuckles) Ve haff a tear zat will serve our purpose!(laughs gleefully)
Megabyte: Excellent!
Scene: The 'Saucy Mare'; AndrAIa and Capacitor observe the formation of the tear above the Princepal Office.
AndrAIa: I`ve got a bad feeling about this!
Scene: An alley outside rebel H.Q.; Bob, Mouse, Dot, Enzo, Hack, Slash, and several binomes observe the same formation.
Enzo: (angry) Megabyte.
Mouse: We`re back on the `net! He`s making a bid for freedom!
Bob: Phong`s alive! That`s the only way Megabyte could access the codes! Okay... we don`t have much time... (suddenly Bob begins to vanish, to his suprise)
Dot: Bob?
Scene: Interior of Hexadecimal`s lair, as Bob appears and a spotlight shines down on him.
Hexadecimal: (whispers) Bob!
Bob: Hexadecimal.
Hexadecimal: (flies past him) I`ve been so bored!... but it will be so much more interesting... now that your here! (laughs maniacally, then...) Mmm!
