Mouse: (drawls)I`m on it!
Binome 1: Sir! What`s left of the CPU attack force is requesting landing clearance... uh, there`s only nine ships. The rest didn`t make it.
Dot: Nine? That`s all?? Contact them! I want them to approach from vector 9701 in single file formation. Tell them no matter what happens, DON`T break rank!
Binome 1: But Phong! In single file they`ll be sitting ducks!
Phong: You better do as she says...I think she has a plan!
Vidwindow Opens
Megabyte: Your Precious city is almost a memory, but there is still a way to save yourselves - Surrender the Princepal Office to me, and take your place at my feet!
Enzo: We`ll never surrender to you, Mega-breath!
Megabyte: 'Never' is a long time, boy! You are rats caught in my trap! I await your unconditional surrender.
Phong: He always was the charmer!
Mouse: YES! Shields back to full power!
Dot: Patch me through to the CPUs... let`s get our people back inside!
CPU Leader: Well, ya heard the lil` lady. Single file! Procede heading 1138. Stay frosty!
Mouse: Well Dot, you were right! They split into two ranks.
AndrAIa: Enzo, how did your sister know they were gonna do that?
Dot: Rule 1 - Know more about your enemy than they know about themselves!
Scene: The sky between buildings, heading 1138
C.P.U.2: Here they come! Classic A.B.C. crossfire formation.

Megabyte: Power down, Hexadecimal. They`re defenceless...The city is ours!
Hexadecimal: Oh, but dear brother, the Princepal Office is SCEAMING OUT TO BE DESTROYED!!

Hexadecimal: Oh, dear...Never mind. It will be Glorious! (Fires Weapon at P.O. anyway!)
Scene: War Room
Enzo: We`re still processing!
Phong: Apparently, we have been saved!
Mouse: Ah managed ta hack-in and divert core energy to form a temperary wall. Ah don`t know how long it will hold!
Dot: Now`s the time Bob would say 'this is not good'.
Mouse: You gotta face the facts, sugar. Bob`s not here. We`re down a Guardian and on our own!
Enzo: But we do have a Guardian!
Dot: Uh-uh, Enzo, delete that thought!
Enzo: Dot, Bob made me a Guardian... to mend and defend - that`s my job now!!
Phong: The young one wears the Guardian Protocol, he is compelled to answer it`s call.
Enzo: You treat me like I`m basic! Bob knew I could do it, Bob...
Dot: (interupts)I don`t want to hear about Bob! He`s gone and I...(trails off, sadly)
Enzo: I...I`m sorry, sis.
Mouse: One more hit and she`ll be through. Looks like we`ll have ta take the battle to them...NOW!(twists icon, changes clothing, looks at Dot) You got a better idea?
Dot: No.(twists icon, changes uniform) I`m coming with you!(looks at binome)You! Stay on the shields!
Phong: (to Enzo)Patience, child. Your time will come!
Enzo: (dejected)Thanks, Phong, but she`s right! I`m not a real Guardian like Bob. What good am I in a fight?
Nerdy Binome: Phong! Hexadecimal is ready to fire again!
Phong: Get ready... are the shields in position?
N. Binome: Eh...uh... I`m not sure.
Phong, Enzo, AndrAIa: WHAT??
N. Binome: Well, uh its Mouse`s code! Her algorythms are way beyond anything I`ve seen!
Phong: (shoves N. Binome out of way)EXCUSE ME! Oh, dear...Oh, dear...Oh, DEAR!

Dot: And what am I supposed to be? C`mon, let`s get out of here!(trips and falls because of very tight dress)
Enzo: (looking down at Dot as his right eye falls out and hangs there)Uh-oh!(user starts shooting at things)
Dot: We`re not doing any good pinned down here! How much ammo does the user have left?
Enzo: Lots! and he can pick up more on his way to the cabin!(to Z.-B.`s) You guys run ahead, find the user`s ammo and hide it!
Z.B.#1: Y...your kidding, right? W...we`re not listening to you, you`re a kid!
Z.B.#2: Yes, you`re hardly a Guardian!
Z.B.#3: Well you`re certainly not Bob! Bob was big, Bob was strong, Bob was...well, blue!
Z.B.#1: (as skeletal game sprite pops up under his feet)Uh...guys...Help! What`s going on?
Enzo: Hey, it`s the first wave of the game sprites. All right! that`ll give him something to shoot at! (to Z.B.#1)You! Get down before you`re shot! Now go and find the ammo!
Dot: (Z.B.s look to Dot for direction)Just do it! This is important!
Z.B.#1: Why didn`t you say so!
Z.B.#2: Yes, I mean you don`t have to shout!
Z.B.#3: Bob would`ve known better! He never shouted. He was nice!(they move off)

Dot: OK, Guardian...what do we do now?

'Fargo' Binome: Mhmm...and he`s only a little sprite, he`s not really a Guardian, don`cha know! I mean he`s not even blue y`know! Green`s no color for a defender of the system!(Megabyte closes vid-window)
Megabyte: This gives me an idea...Propaganda! Hah! Used correctly, it can be as devastating as any weapon in my arsenal! Cyrus!...I have a job for you!(Cyrus begins to tremble in background)
Scene: The game!
Dot: (looking at user from behind cover)He`s just standing there shooting at things!
Enzo: I know! and in the next level, sprites are zombies - they`ve got flesh on their bones!
Dot: I don`t even want to think about it! I mean what kind of sick creature gets enjoyment out of playing this sort of game??(both Enzo and Dot GLARE out of screen at viewers)
Scene: Bushes a short distance from cabin
Z.B.#3: Find the ammo, find the ammo! Huh! If Bob was here, we wouldn`t have to find the ammo!

Z.B.#1: You don`t have to tell us twice!(takes off running; Frisket goes to attack the user)
Enzo: Frisket! Nooo!! (user shoots Frisket)...(to Dot) Let me go! I...I gotta help him!
Dot: Listen! Listen. We can only save Frisket by winning the game! The help he needs is in Mainframe! What he needs here... is a Guardian!
Enzo: You`re right, you`re right! Lets barricade the door!...And hide that book! (Enzo and Dot push piano in front of door; Enzo opens floor hatch) We can push him down here! Glitch! cutter! (Glitch sparks and malfunctions) Glitch! stop! stop!!... It`s broken! (chainsaw cuts hole in wall)

Enzo: N...not me, it`s my dog! Help him, please!

Phong: Oh, I could not have done it alone, Mouse! Your codes were magnificent! You are a true artist!
Mouse: Why, Phong! (to Dot)He`ll turn a young sprite`s head with talk like that!
Phong: (blushes, flustered)Uh...ah the young Guardian returns! Oh, I have a message for you! (open vid-window - scene of medical staff fending off a healed and put-upon Frisket)
Nurse: (in vid-window, to Frisket) Back! Back! We have no diskettes! (Phong closes vid-window)
Phong: the doctors say he should be up and chasing nulls in less than a cycle! In fact, they asked if you could go and pick him up immediately!
Enzo: Groovy!
Dot: Uh... that`s great, Phong. Enzo?
Enzo: Yeah, Dot?
Dot: You did a great job in the game, but...
Enzo: Dooot... you still don`t think I can do it?
Dot: I think you earned your chance... but I want you to train. If you ever want to be as good as Bob...(trails off, sadly)
Enzo: Sis, if he`s out there. I`ll find him. I promise! I`ll bring Bob back home!
Mouse: Uh... sorry to break-up this photoshop moment, but AndrAIa and I have a little surprise for ya!
Dot: I... don`t think I can take another surprise!
AndrAIa: We found him at the diner!
Dot: (as he comes in, attached to a zip-board) Cecil! I thought we lost you too!(hugs him)
Cecil: PLEASE! Mademoiselle! Not in front of the customers!
