CHAPTER TWO

MAINFRAME

Mouse looked at Dot, "Uh.. sugah... did that bald guy just say something??"

Dot looked at the bald man, "Umm.. yes... yes.. we can hear you!!" she called back, "Please!! Our system is CRASHING! Don't delete us!"

Mouse rolled her eyes, "Very good, Dot... like that's gonna stop the user!"

The blond one lifted up his dark sunglasses, and narrowed his eyes inquisitively.

The strange one with the mannequin head stuck his face through the Vid Window, "HI!! My name is AL! This is HEAD!!" he started, sticking Head through the Vid Window as well, "We won't hurt you!!"

The bald man looked at him, and pulled him back, "What the hell are you doing, son?" he replied, annoyance clear in his voice. "You wanna get yourself killed?"

"Uh... hello.. Al..." Dot said to the user in the vid window, ignoring the bald man, "Umm.. my name is Dot. Dot Matrix. This is Mouse.."

"Are you a good user, or a bad user?" Mouse asked dryly.

Al looked at her, "What's a user?? Actually.. wait.. let me come in there.. and we can talk!!"

Al started reaching through the TV again, and the Undertaker grabbed him, "Don't..." was all he said.

"Head says they're nice people!!" Al replied. He quickly pulled away from The Undertaker, and jumped through the television.

"AL!! Damn it!!!" Steve shouted. Al was now standing beside Dot and Mouse.

Edge looked at this with great interest... and followed Al's lead.

"ADAM!" The Undertaker shouted, but Edge was gone before he could grab him. He looked at Steve. "Should we follow?"

"Oh HELL YEAH!!" Austin replied, and went through as well. The Undertaker soon did the same.

Dot looked at the new arrivals, "Oh.... My USER!!" she gasped.

Mouse quickly went up to the blond one, smiling, "ah'm Mouse... what's your name, sugah??" she asked.

"Edge..." he replied as he dusted off his trench coat.

Mouse smiled, "Nice to meet you, Edge! Don't talk much, do you?" she asked. Edge just placed his sunglasses back over his eyes, and didn't reply.

"Where the *BSnP* are we??!" Steve asked.. then seemed confused at his own words, "What the *BSnP* did I just say?!?!"

The Undertaker looked at him, confused as well.

"Censors..." Edge replied. "This show has censors in the USA..." his voice sounded contemptuous, as if these 'censors' were committing blasphemy.

"Censors my *BSnP*!" Austin began, "Ahhh... *BSnP* it!! I have to use cheesy words now... like *BSnP..." he stopped, "You mean, I can't say bbbbbbbbbuuuuuu---, er.. the b-word either?? It's used in cartoons for user's sake!" he didn't seem to notice the word user coming out of his mouth.

"You can say ASCII..." Dot offered helpfully.

"Ascii my ASCII..." Steve was getting frustrated, "CURSORS!" He blinked at that. Cursors??? "Ahhhh... to the 'net with it!!" he snapped angrily, making a fist. "I'm leaving!" he turned back to the Vid Window that he had come through, and reached for it. It quickly closed. "SPAM IT!!" he shouted, still unable to get used to the new words coming out of his mouth.

"Head thinks we're stuck here..." Al offered.

"Oh... yeah.. brilliant observation.." Steve replied sarcastically.

"Umm...my name is Dot Matrix. I'm the command.com of this system. Could you possibly tell us your names??" Dot asked finally.

Steve looked at her, "Stone Cold Steve Austin..."

"The Undertaker," the pale one replied.

Dot remembered the previous introductions as well, "You're Al..?" she said as she looked at Al, "And.. you're Edge??" she asked as she acknowledged the blond. They both nodded.

Mouse took Edge's arm, "Come with me... and let me lead you on a tour of Mainframe, sugah..."

USER WORLD

"Damn it!! Where the hell are Mark, Adam, Steve, and Al?!?!" Vince McMahon shouted to the closest WWF officials, "They have matches coming up in the next hour...!" The owner of the World Wrestling Federation was noticeably distressed.

"We don't know, Mr. McMahon, sir.." one of the officials, Pat Patterson, replied.

"Well find them!! What do I pay you for?!?" Vince snapped.

"Yes sir, Mr. Mac-Mahon, sir..." another official named Gerald Brisco responded. The two officials quickly headed on their way.

Vince sighed, and walked to the lounge. When he saw what was on the television, he froze in his tracks.

"Mouse.. we don't have TIME for a tour right now!! We have to make plans for the rebellion. As long as Megabyte has..." she stopped. She couldn't say the name of her old, dear friend. Not after what had happened to him. She held in a sob, "As long as Megabyte has The Head...we're helpless!"

Al perked up, "The Head?? WHAT?!" he asked. He turned to Head, "There are others??" and waited for an answer, "What do you mean you don't know?!?! You're supposed to know everything!!"

Dot looked at Al, and Steve shook his head, "Don't ask... just don't ask.."

"This.. Megabyte... what is he??" Undertaker asked.

"He's a dominating virus. He's destroying our city," Dot replied. "So is his sister, but she isn't as bad. At least she's not evil. She's just...very confused..."

"Confused. Yes. I know about confused people..." Undertaker replied, and glanced quickly at Al.

"Can we help?!?!" Al asked eagerly.

"Would you?!!" Dot asked hopefully.

"NO!! We are NOT getting involved!" Steve snapped quickly.

The Undertaker looked at him, "You should not presume to speak for the rest of us, Austin!" he replied, then turned to Dot, "Yes... I will help..."

"Head and I will do what we can!!" Al said.

Mouse looked up at Edge, "What about you, sugah?"

Edge thought for a moment, then nodded.

Everyone turned to Steve, waiting for his answer. "What?? Why should I get involved with some war in some place which isn't even supposed to exist anyway?!?!" Steve shouted.

"Austin...If you don't help, you will REST IN PEACE!" The Undertaker threatened.

Austin glared at The Undertaker for a moment, "You don't scare me, dead man. If I do help, it'll be of my own accord!!"

Dot smiled, "Steve... you can stay here if you don't want to fight. That's ok..."

"DON'T WANT TO FIGHT?!!" Steve snapped, annoyed with the command.com's words. "I'm always ready to open up a can of whoop Ascii on ANYONE! Fine then... I'll fight!!"

Dot's smile widened, "THANK YOU!" she said happily.

"I'll help find THE HEAD!!" Al offered.

Dot nodded, "Ok... well.. we'll have to work on a plan to find The Head together... but that is also going to involve Megabyte," Dot sighed, "and then there's Hexadecimal... she doesn't plan attacks. She just strikes without warning."

"I will take care of this Hexadecimal if you lead me to her..." Undertaker said.

Dot looked at The Undertaker. He was offering to go straight into the Lion's Den. But judging by his size and attitude, he did look like he could handle the chaotic virus.

USER WORLD

Vince watched this story play before his very eyes, "NO!" he shouted to the TV set. "Get back here!! You have matches!! AUSTIN!! I'LL FIRE YOU!!" but his words remained unheard by Mainframe's new allies.
