REBOOT WARS

[Time Frame: Before Talent Night(not right before, but as in Talent night hasn't happened yet)...]

[Scene: it starts in Dot's Diner...Enzo joins minutes after he learns a game will drop on the Diner]

[Tone: Humour. (i.e. this is not a serious story. It ponders what would happen if a Star Wars game dropped into Mainframe. The game? X-wing. It's the Death Star Trench run. And yes, I know that the trench run in X-wing is done by the B-wing (in the historical missions at least).]

[Notes: I'm rambling as I write this, so I should shut up and get on with the story.....!]

"Yeah, I know Enzo's birthday is coming up and -- " Bob starts, but gets interrupted by three words.

"Warning! Incoming Game! Warning! Incoming Game!"

"Oh great! I wonder were the game is going to land?" Dot's question was answered by an over-excited Enzo.

"Bob! Dot! There's a game cube! It's landing over the diner!" Enzo practically yelled out.

"Over the diner? Oh no! Enzo, get out of here, right now!"

"No way, sis! Bite me!" Enzo makes a face at her sister. The game drops, and the trio find themselves on a platform outside of a hanger bay. "So Bob, what's the game?"

"Glitch! Game Stats!" Bob commanded. "OK, this is the game Star Wars: X-wing. We're TIE Fighter pilots and we have to stop the User from destroying this station -- called the Death Star."

"The Death Star? What kind of a name is that?" Dot asked. "Oh well, let's do it! ReBoot!" The three tapped their icons and transformed into three figures in black suits. They had helmets on.

"I can't breathe in this thing!" Enzo complained. He looked rather funny, being so short and all.

"But Enzo, this is how we're supposed to survive, I don't see how--" Bob was cut off as an officer spoke to Enzo.

"My Lord. Why are you just standing there? Shouldn't you be out there fighting the Rebels?" The officer asked carefully.

"Yes, yes. Now leave me!" Enzo shooed him away.

"LORD?!?!?!?!" Bob exclaimed.

"I CALL THE FIGHTER WITH THE COOL CURVED WINGS!!!!" Enzo yelled out. Luckily, no one noticed that he was already in the fighter.

"Enzo, I don't think that's the one you're supposed to be fightin--" Dot couldn't finish, as Enzo blasted out of the station.

"WOO-HOOO!!!!!"

"Well, Bob, we've got to make sure he doesn't get killed! Let's go!"

"Good idea, Dot. Now remember, we have to shoot Y-wings first, than the X-wings."

"AND, we have to be extra careful. These ships don't have shields, so no hot shot piloting that will get you killed."

"That means -- Enzo!"

"No no, the one he took has shields. I think that he is supposed to be some sort of leader. Now let's get out there!" Bob and Dot leave the station and find the Rebel ships right away.

"Dot, there is also a ship that we have to keep our watch on -- The Millenium Falcon. I think that if the User does the mission properly, the ship destroys our fighters and sends Enzo's flying. So, we've got to concentrate on the User AND the other ship."

"Right, Bob. Let's just make sure we don't get nullified!"

"Dot! How do you start this thing?" Bob asks while frantically looking around in the cockpit.

"Read the manual! It's in your glove compartment!" Dot replies while bursting out of the hangar bay.

"Let's see....ah! Here we go....`Congratulations on purchasing your new TIE Fighter. We hope you get many years of enjoyment out of this vehicle. TIE stands for Twin Ion Engines --' Dot! This doesn't tell me anything!"

"Ok..uh, put the keys in the ignition. The two red buttons on the flight stick fire...press F9 once, use T to target. Figure it out from there --"

"WHEEEEEEEE!!!" Bob flies out of the hangar and overshoots Dot by five meters. "OK, I think we should go after Red 5 once we finish off the Y-Wings!"

"How do you know who it is?"

"Well, Dot, being from the Supercomputer, I've seen the movie Star Wars. In the end, Red 5 destroys the Death Star."

"Oh thanks for ruining the ending, Bob! Never mind....where's Enzo?"

"Right here, sis! I've got a user near deletion!" Enzo is after a Y-wing. Dot and Bob fly over to help him. "No, go after the others! It's the Y-wings that are doing the main runs..I think..." the three finish off the Y-wings and Bob starts after Red 5..with an unexpected turn of events.

"Dot! Could you help me out here?!? I've got an X-wing on my tail!"

"I can help you, but you'll have to keep my target, Red 2, busy. Break off Red 5. Enzo! Target Red 5 and go after him!"

"Got it sis!" Enzo gets some shots off Red 5 and eventually destroys him. "Hey, why isn't the game over?"

"The user must have jumped ship! Enzo, find the x-wing belonging to Biggs. Try shooting him, but don't destroy him. Try and keep him occupied...Dot! Where are you?"

Bob is doing loops and twists to try and get out of firing range. Suddenly Dot swoops over his TIE.

"Right here, Bob! GOT HIM!!" The X-wing chasing after Bob blows up, and the two go after Biggs with Enzo. "Enzo, are you holding out ok?"

"Yeah, sure Dot! I've almost got his shields down! My skill must've come with my character!"

"Hmph!" Bob is jealous that he isn't the leader. He gets a few shots off at Biggs, and the shield on the X-wing goes down. "Yeah Enzo, well my accuracy is natural!" Bob nearly flies into a wall, but pulls out in time. "Sort of..."

"Enzo! Cover me! I've got the user in my sights!" Dot fires four shots and destroys the user. A familiar voice is overheard.

"Game Over."

"WOO-HOOOO!!!!" the three yell simultaniously and jump in the air for a high five. All three hit each other on the head and get knocked out before they can make a decent ending to this episode.
