Hailing From the Supercomputer, Guardian Bob!

(ReBoot Meets Wrestling)

** I used characters from both WWF, and WCW for this story! I figured it would be more fun that way. ^_^**

MAINFRAME

Bob was walking with Dot through Mainframe. It was a great day. Relaxing. Warm. They held hands as they walked... and seemed to be in their own little world -- until three words interrupted their peace, "WARNING.. INCOMING GAME... WARNING... INCOMING GAME.."

Dot looked at Bob, who shrugged. The two headed towards the purple cube landing a few feet away.

***

Matrix and AndrAIa noticed the game cube landing, "Here we go again.." Matrix began.

AndrAIa nodded, and the two headed towards the cube.

***

Mouse and Ray saw Bob, Dot, Matrix, and AndrAIa heading towards the game cube. They looked at each other, "Well, sugah... ya think we should help 'em??"

"I've never been in a game before... it should be an experience..." Ray replied. Mouse smiled. They quickly headed towards the cube as well.

THE GAME

Bob looked around. He noticed he was backstage at an arena of some sort. It was the dressing room area. In front of him were black curtains that lead into the arena. He carefully peeked through.

Bob saw at least 15, 000 people in the crowded stadium, and they were loud.

"What IS this game?!" Dot asked.

Bob shrugged, then looked at the middle of the stadium. "A Wrestling ring??" he said out loud.

Suddenly, someone entered the ring, and took the microphone. It was Mike the TV... wearing a tuxedo. "Ladies and Gentlemen!! Thank you for joining us tonight! It's time to enjoy the best in Sports entertainment!!" Mike the TV looked at Bob, and mouthed the words "ReBoot already!!"

"Huh..?? OH!!" Bob quickly closed the curtain in front of him, and ReBooted into a pair of black and white wrestling tights, black boots, and a black T-shirt that said "nWo" in white. He furrowed his brow, "Null World Order???!"

Dot shrugged, then ReBooted. She was now wearing a black leather dress, and a similar shirt to the one Bob wore.

"Hey guys!!" AndrAIa started as she and Matrix came up behind them, "Great outfits!" She quickly tapped her icon, and ReBooted into a black catsuit. She looked towards Matrix.

He nodded, and ReBooted into a pair of boxing trunks. He looked at himself, "Whaaat?? I thought this was a WRESTLING game..."

Bob looked at him, and shrugged, "Apparently your character thinks he's a boxer..."

Matrix rolled his eyes, "Oh.. great..!" he muttered sarcastically.

Suddenly, music filled the air, and Mike's loud voice could be heard, "This match is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring, accompanied by the lovely Sable, is Marvelous Marc Mero!!"

A game character came up behind Matrix, and gave him a small push towards the curtain. Matrix got the point. He stepped through, and was greeted by a chorus of 'boos' from the audience. "What the heck!!?"

AndrAIa came out behind him, and the audience cheered loudly. She smiled, "Wow.. they like me!"

Matrix fumed quietly. He guessed it was part of his character's personality.

Finally, the two of them entered the ring. Mike smiled at them, and took to the microphone again, "The challenger, coming to the ring now, Rey Mysterio, Jr!"

A masked man came out from the dressing area. He seemed confused as the audience cheered loudly. He entered the ring, and the bell rang. Matrix attacked with rights and lefts, never giving his opponent a moment to pause.

"AHHH!! Mmmmoldddd mit, mate!!! Malm Mown!!!" the opponent shouted.

Matrix stopped for a moment, "What??"

His opponent stepped back, and removed his mask, "I said, 'hold it, mate! Calm down!!"

Matrix's eyes went wide, "SURFER???"

Ray Tracer sighed, "You know, you just can't talk in these things..." he said, and dropped his mask. "It's not you and I that should be fighting! We should be fighting the USER!"

Just as he said that, a blond game sprite ran out from the dressing room, and attacked AndrAIa, "Woah!!!" She shouted, and quickly fought her off.

The game sprite was frightening! She spoke with a harsh voice, and seemed to have gaudy make-up all over her face. She started clawing at AndrAIa as if it was a personal battle. AndrAIa quickly took her out with a few well placed punches... and the crowd cheered. The game sprite disappeared.

Ray and Matrix looked at each other, then looked at AndrAIa. All three walked back to the dressing room.

***

Dot looked at Bob, "Hmmm.. looks like YOU'RE the one who's going to fight the User!"

Bob nodded, "Who will it be?" His question was soon answered as a blond, balding, middle-aged User came up to him. He was wearing the same shirt and colours as Bob.

"Listen, Macho!! I'm gonna kick your butt in the ring tonight! Got it?!" The User threatened.

Bob just looked at the User, "Um.. right.. sure... ok.." The User nodded, and headed back where he came from. Bob looked at Dot, "Macho??"

Dot shrugged, then a thought came to her, "Where'd MOUSE go, by the way??"

"Ah'm right here, sugah..." Mouse said. Dot turned around. Mouse didn't look happy. She was wearing the same shirt as Dot and Bob. She had a baseball cap on, and her hair was now dark black. She was also wearing a leather jacket. "Now, for some reason, that User keeps tellin' me his strategy. Ah don't know WHY! And he keeps callin' me 'Eric'! And asking me about his paycheck!"

Bob smiled, "Well.. that means you're supposed to work with the User! So... what's his strategy??!"

Mouse frowned, "Something about a run-in... whatever THAT is.."

Bob thought for a moment, "A run-in?? That sounds bad!! I'll go around backstage here and see if there's anyone who can cover my back..." and with that, Bob started his search.

***

Bob knocked on the first door, "Umm.. hello..?"

A bald game sprite wearing black wrestling trunks swung the door open, and looked rather annoyed, "What the hell do ya want, son?!"

Bob was taken aback by the game sprite's harsh attitude, "Uh... I was just wondering if you could help me... um.. I need back up at ringside because..."

The game sprite interrupted him, "And you think the world's toughest S.O.B. owes you sumthin', boy?? Hell NO!! Get outta my face!" and the game sprite slammed the door.

Bob just shook his head, and went to the next dressing room. Another bald man wearing black tights opened it, "Whaaa..?? Do all the game sprites look the same in this game?!" he asked himself. Then he took a deep breath, "I was wondering if you could help me at ringside... you see.." The game sprite nodded 'yes' before Bob could finish his explanation, "Oh.. great.. thanks!" And Bob headed off to the next dressing room.

A game sprite wearing all black, with white and black face paint accidentally smashed into him. Bob noticed a scorpion on the sprite's shirt, "HEY!" Bob called out. The sprite just continued walking. He seemed angry at Bob for some reason, "Wow... my character sure has a lot of enemies!"

"Bob??" a voice called out. Bob turned around to see Dot had joined him.

"Hey Dot.. what's up?"

"I found some guys to help you..." she said. She nodded to the game sprites behind her. There were about five of them.

One was a big guy with dark red hair, who wore all black. Bob got a cold chill around him.

Another one was a small guy with frizzy black hair and a beard, wearing a shirt with a large "X" on it. "Hogan SUCKS!" The game sprite said.

Bob nodded, "Ok.. sure... great..." and looked at the rest of the group.

The third guy had blond hair, and was all muscle. He wore black tights, and a shirt that said, "Lex," on it. The fourth guy was the one Bob had talked to earlier, who had nodded in reply. And the fifth one was a very tall man with long hair. He was wearing the same shirt and colours as Bob and Dot. Bob looked at him, surprised, "You know, you're not the ONLY one who wants to stab him in the back, " the game sprite answered.

Bob nodded, "Ok.. so.. are we all set??"

Dot and the game sprites nodded in reply.

***

Mike the TV began his announcing spiel, "Coming to the ring, accompanied by the lovely Miss Elizabeth.. Macho Man, Randy Savage!!"

Bob headed into the arena. He got a mixed reaction from the audience.

"And his opponent, accompanied by Eric Bishoff... Hollywood Hogan!"

The audience boo'd Mouse and the User as they came out. Mouse went up to Dot, "Ya know, ah don't think they like this guy very much..."

Dot nodded, "No kidding!!" she replied.

Mouse and Dot stood at ring side as Bob and the User started to fight.

Bob and the User first had a match of strength. hey locked hands, and tried to push the other to his knees. Bob seemed to be gaining the advantage in that one. He got the user to his knees, and then gave him a kick to the mid-section. The User doubled over. Bob continued hitting him with left and rights, much to the joy of the audience. Then he stopped for a moment to catch his breath.

"No! He'll take advantage of it!! Go after him, Bob!!" Dot shouted.

"Go Bob!" Mouse shouted as well. Dot looked at her. Mouse shrugged, "Even if ah AM supposed to be on the User's side, ah don't wanna be nullified, sugah!"

The User got up, and threw Bob into the ropes. Bob bounced back, and ran right into an arm to the face. It knocked him flat on his back, "Cursors!" Bob muttered.

Now it was the User's turn to pound on Bob a bit. He kicked him in the chest, the leg, and the head.

"BOB!!" Dot cried. She quickly jumped into the ring, and gouged the user in the eyes with her nails. Mouse ran in, and grabbed Dot, pulling her out of the ring. The referee presiding over the event didn't see the little interaction. Dot glared at Mouse, "Why did you pull me out?!!"

"Well, ah'm supposed to be the bad guy.. so ah had to do something bad!" then Mouse smiled, "Besides, sugah, if the ref saw ya, he would've given the match to the user.. then we'd all be nullified!!"

Bob took advantage of the Dot's distraction as the User tried to see straight. He kicked the User in the stomach. The User fell to his knees. Bob then tackled the user, knocking him on his back.

Bob went up to the top rope, and waited for the User to stand up. When he did, Bob jumped off the top rope and hit the User in the head with his elbow. The User was knocked onto his back again. Bob attempted to cover the User.. .when someone grabbed him from behind, pulling him off the User.

Bob turned to face the game sprite that interrupted the match. The sprite was a tall man with a white bandanna on his head, long hair, a beard, and dark sunglasses. He was the wearing the same shirt as Bob and the User. "Wow... popular design!!" Bob thought.

Before the game sprite could attack Bob again, Bob's allies ran into the ring. A few more people, with the same shirts, ran into the ring as well. Bob's allies, and the User's allies, were now fighting. The referee turned to Mike, and said something to him. Mike nodded.

The TV picked up the microphone, and said, "As a result of a disqualification, the winner of this match is Macho Man, Randy Savage!!"

The words, "GAME OVER," echoed in the air, and soon everyone found themselves back in Mainframe.

"Wow..." Bob started, "Talk about a crazy game!! I didn't know who the good guys were and who the bad guys were!!!"

Dot shrugged, and looked at the group, "Let's all go to the dinner for some energy shakes, shall we??"

Everyone nodded in agreement... and Bob had a sudden urge to say, "Ooooh yeah!!" Dot looked at him. He shrugged innocently, "Must've been left over from my game character.." he replied, and smiled.

The group then headed off to Dot's Diner.
