The WWF Visits Mainframe
By:Elektra
CHAPTER FOUR
USER WORLD
McMahon was still ranting and raving about how he was going to give his workers a pay cut. He also threatened to force Al and Edge to job (lose) all their matches for the next month. Unfortunately, the Undertaker and Austin were Main Eventers, and therefore, if they jobbed, it would take away his credibility as a Wrestling promoter (not as if that had ever stopped him before).
Gerald Brisco finally entered the lounge, and saw what Vince and Pat saw... but he was in too much shock to say anything.
As Vince continued to watch, he noticed yet another character. This character was made of a bluish metal, and sat in a dark room on a strange throne. On his chest was an angry face painted in green. This new character seemed to be talking to what Vince now recognized as a 'one' binome. He looked evil. Vince liked him immediately.
Mr. McMahon arched an eyebrow as he watched the evil character plot the demise of the heroes, "Well.. this is interesting..." he said. "Don't you think so, Brisco?"
"Yes sir, Mr. Mac-mahon..." Brisco answered.
Suddenly, a flash of light emerged from the TV set, blinding the promoter and his lackeys briefly. Once their eyes adjusted, they looked back at the television...and saw the tin man staring right at them.

MAINFRAME - PRINCIPLE OFFICE
"Well, Herr Dokter... it seems Mainframe has a few new visitors..." Megabyte said to the one binome in front of him. "Do you have any information for me??"
"They're users, mein commander," Herr Dokter replied.
"I know they're users!!" Megabyte snapped, "but... how did they get here... and how can we use them to our advantage?!"
Suddenly, a vid window appeared in front of Megabyte. He turned to it, wondering who would dare bother him. His eyes went wide when he noticed the three users. One user appeared to have an aura of evil around him, and the other two reminded him of Hack and Slash. The users seemed to be staring right at him.
Megabyte raised an eyebrow, "Well hello... may I inquire as to who you are??" he asked.
The evil one stepped forward, still surprised that this could be real, "My name is Mr. McMahon! I am the owner and operator of the World Wrestling Federation! These are my right hand men -- Pat Patterson, and Gerald Brisco. I believe there has been a strange mix up. You see, my workers somehow managed to get themselves stuck in your world.."
"Yes, yes...I know of the visitors..." Megabyte said. "If you would please get rid of them, it would be much appreciated,"
McMahon slowly went up to the vid window, and touched it. His hand went right through. He pulled back in surprise, "Well... if you will let me come and get them, I will be more then happy to take them off your hands,"
Megabyte nodded, "yes.. come..."
McMahon stepped through the vid window. His lackeys followed. "Well..." McMahon began as he looked around, "Nice place you've got here.."
"Yes, indeed..." Megabyte answered, and stood up, holding out a hand. "My name is Megabyte. I rule this system..."

HEXADECIMAL'S LAIR
The Undertaker and Hexadecimal were enjoying their tea, "We don't exactly know how we came here, but we've decided to help the Mainframers. They were hoping that somehow I could persuade you to stop your chaotic attacks..."
"Oh, I have nothing against the Mainframers. It is my brother that I wish to destroy!" Hexadecimal explained.
The Undertaker nodded, "Yes.. I know what it's like to have an evil brother..." he muttered quietly.
"Oh really??" Hexadecimal replied, interested.
"Yes.. but that's a long story. I'll have to tell you another time.." the Undertaker replied, "So.. if you wish to destroy your brother, is there a way you can keep the Mainframers out of it?"
The chaotic virus sighed, "Well... my anger for my brother is great... but I will try to be a bit more careful when I attack him..." then she smiled, "After all, I'm rather fond of the Guardian of the system, and when he returns I would hate for him to come back to a destroyed city..."
The Undertaker nodded again, "Good. Now that we have that settled, I would much appreciate those biscuits you offered earlier,"
"Oh, of course, love..." Hexadecimal smiled, and reached into thin air. A plate of biscuits appeared in her hands, and she offered it to her guest.

PRINCIPLE OFFICE -'THRONE' ROOM
McMahon looked out a nearby window, an idea forming in his evil little mind. "Interesting city, this Mainframe... perhaps they could use someone like me..!" He looked at Megabyte, "The virus has destroyed this system... if I took over, it wouldn't look like this..." he thought back to the nice, shiny Titan building he owned.
McMahon had a brief image of lovely corporate buildings taking over the system, and decided that Mainframe would indeed make a great corporate city! Now, how to go about dominating it...

PRINCIPLE OFFICE CORRIDORS
"Well.. can you sense anything??" Al said to Head. "What do you mean not yet?!? It's one of your own kind! You should be able to sense him by now!" he walked a bit more, and came upon a large door. "Here??! Are you sure?!" Al waited for a response, "Ok then, let's go..." and quickly shoved the door open. He looked around the room... and saw it! He stared at the being in the glass jar with awe. Al quickly ran up to it, and bowed, "The HEAD!" he gasped, and held up his friend. "We bow in your presence, oh great HEAD!"
"Who are you, my child??" the head-in-a-jar asked.
Al's eyes went wide, "You.. you speak??" he gasped. "Aloud?!"
"Yes, of course I do. But... who are you?"
Al bowed respectfully, "I'm Al Snow.. and this is Head! They led me to you, great one!"
"My name is Phong..." the head-in-a-jar said.
Al furrowed his brow, "Phong?!"
"Yes... I was once the command.com of this system, until that virus Megabyte took over. He removed my body, and is trying to extract the security codes from my brain ..."
Al looked at Phong, "You... had a body?!" then looked at Head, "how come you never had a body??" Al waited for a response, "What do you mean it's because I forgot to get it when I stole you from the dumpster?!?! You mean.. you did have a body at one time??"
Phong looked at Al, "Uh... my child... is there something wrong??"
Al looked at him, "No no.. it's just that they're yelling at me for not getting their body!! THEY'RE ALWAYS YELLING AT ME!!!!!" Al screeched.
Phong would have run away if he could. "Uhh... my child.. would you kindly take me to Dot Matrix?" he asked.
Al quickly composed himself, "Dot? Oh yeah.. that green woman! Yeah... I came here to get you..!!" Al picked up the jar and began to run out of the room.
Someone walked through the door at that moment, blocking the only exit Al had, "Al!! What are you doing here?!!" the shadowy figure asked.
Al looked at the shadowy figure, "Vince!!!" he gasped, "You're here?!"

PRINCIPLE OFFICE - 'THRONE' ROOM
"I demand you release me this instant!!" Megabyte shouted to Brisco and Patterson. He tried to undo the ropes that held his arms behind his back. Laying near by was the unconscious Herr Dokter. As for Megabyte's rebel forces, they were no use to him either! They all cowered in fear at the users. The evil user legend had come to Mainframe long before, and the soldier binomes were too frightened to fight. Instead, they had JOINED the users, and now focused their weapons on their former leader.
"Mr. Mac-mahon says we have to keep you here..." Brisco explained, smiling cruelly, "We do what Mr. Mac-mahon says.."
Suddenly, the doors to the throne room swung open. Mr. McMahon stepped in, with Al Snow following close behind. "Look who I found...!" the boss said.
"Hey.. Vince!! Can I talk to you?!" Al pleaded, holding both Head and Phong. "You know, about my current situation in the WWF... well, I was hoping for a solid contract. I mean, I left ECW because Head thought I could do better coming back to you, but I haven't had a chance to talk to you one on one yet..."
Vince looked at him, "Shut up, Al!!" he snapped.
"WHAT?!" Al sputtered, then he looked at Head, "See.. no respect.. not from Edge, not from Austin, not from Undertaker, not even from Vince. Why do I listen to you anyway?? 'Come back to WWF,' you said. Hmpf! Brilliant idea!" he babbled.
Without warning, the doors to the throne room burst open. Dot, Mouse, Edge, Austin, and the Undertaker (who had finally caught up with his comrades after his visit with Hexadecimal) marched into the room. Dot's rebels followed close behind. "What the *BSnP* is all this?!!" Steve shouted when he saw his boss, and Megabyte's army behind him.
"Well, Austin.. it seems that I have taken over Mainframe!" Vince McMahon said.
Edge, Dot, Mouse, Undertaker, and Steve stared at him in shock. Vince McMahon laughed evilly.
Dot looked at him, "Umm... and exactly what are you planning to do to Mainframe??" she asked Vince.
The evil wrestling promoter finally noticed her after he had stopped laughing, "Well, I was going to take over all the businesses, and make a nice, corporate world," he laughed again, "Mainframe will now be known as McMahonFrame!"
