ReBoot The Upgrade
By Cyberian Renamon
Episode One: Online and Upgraded

I come from the Net through systems, networks, and people to this place, MainFrame. My format, Guardian to mend and defend. ReBoot… Not so fast Bob, I come from the Net infecting systems, networks, and people to this place MainFrame. My format Virus to infect and destroy. My desire… Revenge!

“Let the hunt begin.” Megabyte taunted over the intercom of the Principle’s Office. Dot knew she had to come up with a plan to rescue Enzo and Mainframe from Megabyte. With Hack and Slash, constant babbling in the background it was hard for her to think. She decided to send out a vid-message to Bob asking that he and Matrix meet up with her in the conference room in the west side of the Principle’s Office. Both of them rushed towards Dot’s location hoping that she could find a way to save the system. While they were in route to the rondevu point a loud System Alert, repeated “Warning System Shutdown” echoed throughout Mainframe.  As a shutdown protocol, all Sprites in Mainframe started entering hibernation mode freezing them in their tracks.

“Warning System Shutdown in Progress.” The System Voice repeatedly stated as the city of Mainframe slowly began to go dark. Megabyte felt furious as he to was entered hibernation mode. Unable to know if he would be able to exit from limbo or how long he would be trapped there as the final system went dark and the binomes fell silent the city of Mainframe disappeared from the Net. We move outwards from the city, and though the hard drive. Then through the motherboard, and out through the housing of the computer into the world of the User. The user walks over to the wall, unplugs the computer, and removes it from his desk. He then walks over to a box opens it and pulls out the new computer inside. The user sounds giddy as he exclaims, “Finally the new Mark Z Quad with a 256 MB Hyper Processor, a 60GB Hard Drive 3MB cache, at 1500 RPMs, and with a CD/DVD drive, this baby is going to make gaming so much better.” After the user packed away the old system, he put it away in his Junk room where it remained.

Fifteen years had passed. During that time, the user got older and started family. He settled down and had two children. The youngest was only sixteen-month-old baby girl while the oldest was 13-year-old boy. Though the boy was gamer like his father, he also had an innate curiosity that he inherited from his mother. Though advanced enough in his schoolwork he often had days where he would look for something to do. He had a habit of fixing old computers that his classmates had crashed or wanted to throw out for a new one. He found this to be a good chance to get some extra cash as he made extra money on the side. One day after finishing a quick repair, he heard a loud crash. He ran out his room to see what it was his father covered in old gaming and computer hardware.

The son sighed as he approached his dad, “You need a hand there dad?” the young boy asked as if it was an inconvenience to his daily life. The willing accepted his offer as the boy pulled off the old gaming hardware. The dad slowly looked through the old things as he smiled remembering his youth. The son having no connection to this stuff moved the junk out to shed. It was then he stopped as he saw the old computer tower and started to tear through the junk pilled on top of it. “I don’t believe and old Mark X 1000 computer system these things where top of the line back when you were my age.” The boy excitedly exclaimed as he mocked how old his dad was. “Hey I was only fourteen when I got that and kept it when I upgraded when I got the money for the latest model at nineteen.” The dad said defending himself of his age. “Yeah, upgrade.” The boy started pondering as he took off with the system to his room. “You don’t mind if I have this, thanks dad.” the boy exclaimed shutting the door before his dad could respond.

The next few days the young boy spent hours taking a part the housing and dusting off the old components until they were clean. In the mean time, he waited on the special ordered parts and programs to arrive. During this time, he begins testing out the connectors on the motherboard, and transferring the hard drive’s content into the new 1 TB Hard Drive with 64MB cache, at 5400 RPMs. Soon as the first package arrived, the young boy removed the motherboard and begun to unsolder the out dated compensates, and integrating the new hardware. THe USB ports had updated to the new 3.0 models. He changed out the networking chip and graphics chip to the latest model in high definition gaming.  
As the new housing arrived next he begins installing the motherboard and wiring in the Blue LED lights. He began to test the light as he flipped the power switch on and off in the back. The day of the final packages, he began the long day of installing HDMI connector, Blu-Ray Drive, and a 64GB processor and with the RAM chip of the latest model he attached a retro RAM converter box that locks into the old RAM slots. Now, with it installed the new model RAMS can be accepted on the system’s old motherboard, then he finally he installed the new hard drive with the old system data into housing. After attaching the housing and plugging up the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse. He was ready to give it power. The young boy gulped as he inserted the plug to the wall. As no sparks had jumped out, he pressed the power button. The tower began to glow blue as the fans kicked on and the monitor lit up. When the home screen popped up the boy opened the Blu-Ray drive an inserted the system upgrade disk that he ordered.  Unbeknownst to this also returned Mainframe back to where they left off.

We are than pulled though the monitor into the tower past the fans and glowing lights into the hard drive we see the city of Mainframe as it is lit up. The outer limits of the city had expanded, as it was now blank with no data to expand in it. Further in the city down streets as we pass them by the other binomes started waking up and becoming aware, they once again functioned. As we enter the Command Room, we find Enzo held by his Null Father controlled by Megabyte. Megabyte looks around as then walks towards Enzo. “It seems that the user has brought us back online,” Megabyte taunted as he clenched his fist in front of Enzo’s face. “Now, Enzo, you’re going to help me delete Bob weather you like or not.” Enzo looked defiant as he begins to tell Megabyte off. “I’ll never help you Mega-Breath,” Yelled as he tries to pull lose from his father. “Just wait and see my Sister and Bob will defeat you once and for all.” Megabyte just started laughing as he looked down at Little Enzo. “I’m afraid that Bob will never delete me, and your sister isn’t strong enough to do it on her own.”

Megabyte released his viral tentacles and attached them to Enzo’s body. “I’m going to use you as my little pawn, but first I’m going to slowly extract your data to make it more painful… AHHH!” with a scream of pain Megabyte and Enzo’s father both are thrown against the walls of the opposite sides Principle’s Office. “What was that?” Megabyte asked as he got back to his feet. “Where’s Enzo?”  The Viral Phong asked as it seemed Enzo had disappeared.  “It doesn’t matter I got what I wanted.” Megabyte stated as he changed into Little Enzo. “Now let’s go find Bob.”

Meanwhile Bob and Matrix were heading towards the Conference Room in west sector of the Principle’s Office. “Bob, how long do you think that we were off line for?” Matrix asked Bob as they turned into the next corridor. “I don’t know. Glitch hasn’t updated her information yet.”   Bob responded, right before a loud Pinging noise echoed across the system. Suddenly the System Alert announced, “Attention Incoming Upgrade!” These words repeated in the background as Bob and Matrix nodded their heads and returned to running down the corridor. Meanwhile Megabyte Enzo walked around looking for one of Enzo’s companions. Right about the time, he made a right turn he heard footsteps coming from behind him. Moving out of sight, he peered around the corner to see Matrix and Bob entering his sights.

“It’s just those two fools.” Mega Enzo said to himself as he tried to make a devilish smile. Matrix had briefly noticed the movement of something as he pulled out GUN and switched his eye to target mode. Matrix then stopped Bob and signaled him to stay back as he placed his back against the wall. Will holding his gun in upwards near his face with his right hand and his left cupping the bottom of the hilt, he moved towards the corner. Mega Enzo could hear them as they approached his location. Mega Enzo thought up a plan as he foraged a broken pipe in his hand and jumped out swinging yelling, “Be deleted you viral pieces of data!” This made Matrix react and aimed his gun at Mega Enzo. Realizing it was only Enzo; Matrix holstered GUN and grabbed the pipe. “Nice try kid but I’m the last Sprite that would be considered as a viral piece of data.” Matrix said as Mega Enzo laughed and replied, “Oh yeah you got a point.”

Bob walked up to Mega Enzo, than with a downward motion he took a knee in front of him, and placed his hand on his shoulder. “It’s good to see you Enzo, but how did you escape from Megabyte?” Bob asked. “I don’t know,” Mega Enzo said as he began his lie about his escape. “The last thing I remember was being caught by Megabyte. Dad was holding me down because Mega-breath infected him, and then he tried to take me over so he could look like me but then there was a explosion and I found myself near here so I grabbed a pipe just incase I bumped into any of the infected.”  Bob nodded as he got up, and turned back to the path they were head. “Well, Enzo come on you’re sister will be happy to see.” Matrix scowled at the story as it didn’t sit right with him. He then pulled Bob in whispering to him. “I don’t trust that story it might be Megabyte posing as Enzo.” Bob nodded, “I agree but until he makes his move let’s play along.”

As they walked with Mega Enzo the System Upgrade finally began, installing it’s self into everyone. The binomes were first to get the upgrade as their data was small. Rings of data lifted the binomes as they started spinning around them creating a like a sphere. Inside the spheres, the binomes data began being decompiling and reintegrating into their new forms. After emergence, the binomes appearance had change with minor adjustments to their bodies. They had become slightly smaller, and more compact to allow easier to movement. They also contained bodies that are more detailed.

Meanwhile back near the West Conference Room Dot had just arrived as the data ring began to envelope her, Hack, and Slash levitating them off the floor. The rings begin to spin into a sphere. Spark shot out as the decompiling began. After their reintegration Hack and Slash are first to emerge from the spheres.  Hack’s red body gained a new look as his Red paint seemed to have changed to a red chrome with blue flames down the front. His blue mouth had become smaller and more integrated as did the rest of his armor. His right arm was Flame Thrower that he can reformat back into his normal hand. His rotary ball that he moved on was gone and replaced with hover rings. The bottom of his form had become a single point with two rings circling the point. Slash had a similar upgrade with blue chrome paint and red ice sickles covering his chest armor. In his left hand, he had an Ice Cannon that he can reformat into his hand again.

Lastly, Dot’s sphere opened up as Hack and Slash gawked at her as the sphere around her dissipated. Looking down at her feet her black suit had changed completely. Her boots where white with a single purple strip running up them into her skin tight legs, and up to her mid section where the purple stripes converged into a downward scaled armor. The strip then split midway past her cleavage where her Icon now appeared. Moving upwards to her shoulders where triple armored shoulder pads rested giving her a strong stance. Down each of her arms the purple strips continued down to her hands the as forms into an arrow like point on her middle finger with that one finger covered in white. Her green skinned face and lustiest red lips gave a smile as we moved up to gorgeous violate eyes. On each side of her temples she had a small circular devices attached to her skin. Her short raven black hair seemed to have grown out. It was now down to her neck.

“W-wow, miss uh, Matrix you look gorgeous.” Hack said then followed up by Slash. “Yeah, magnificent, stupendous, uh awesome, and what else?” As Slash, stammered Hack knocked him in the back of the head. “There’s only one word to describe her and that’s WOW.”  Dot blushed, as she didn’t know what else to say.  “Ok, boys let’s get a move on we don’t have long.” Dot commanded as she began to run towards the west conference room. “By the way you boys look a lot better too.” Hack and Slash thanked Dot. Back near the Command Room Mouse and AndrAla were in the midst of their upgrades as well.

AndrAla emerged from her sphere. Her black healed boots reached up to her knees as they curved with her strong sleek calves. The boots were cover in gold-laced prints of tidal waves all over. On her knees, golden armor padding covered them as the skintight spandex drove up her body cutting off at her waistline. Arching slightly above her pants line on both sides were thin elastic strips of black fabric. Her midsection had shown her tight abs and supple soft tangerine skin. Her Icon at the center of her pants waistline like a belt buckle. Moving further up her body, her bust had a sizeable increased. She was now close to a D cup. An aqua blue bikini top with gold edging all around it holds her breasts firmly. With two golden Tridents on the center of each breast, they point towards her cleavage. She touched her luscious blue lips as they gave a smile. He aqua green eyes gazed out as to charm men or women for miles around. Her hair turned a simmering blue as if it was clear as an ocean on a tropical beach on a hot summer’s day. She looked at Mouse and asked, “How do I look?” Mouse smiled with a reply, “Sug, that Matrix won’t keep his hands off you once he sees ya’.” AndrAla blushed and looked away as Mouse continued. “Honey, I don’t think he’ll stop fighting the guy off you.” AndrAla snickered at the though, “Matrix can be a little protective of me but I love him and no one will take him away or face my wrath.” Mouse reacted with an understanding grin, “Looks like you still got your claws sug.”

Mouse’s body had been covered in an all black ninja suit from shoulders on down as two katanas on her back. Her body was slenderer down and her bust was a solid C cup. With her face exposed as here orange digital hair pulled back into a ponytail. The length of her hair had grown to down her neck while two strands of her bangs hung on each side of her face like hair antennas. Her lips were a darker shade of purple compared to her skin that shown from her hands and face. Her hazel eyes were almost a golden brown now as she looked at her arms. Both her arms covered in a dark metal armor with spikes out of them. In the center of her belt was here Icon. She quickly noticed a tool like symbol in the corner of her vision that seemed too moved wherever she looked. “Hey, hun do ya’ see this little tool icon that’s following me?”  Mouse asked as AndrAla quickly replied, “I’m sorry I don’t see anything like that.”  Mouse frustrated pointed at the icon saying, “It’s right there sug.”

After hitting the icon a second time, it opened up revealing a menu with the options “Hacker Tools”, “Weapons”, “Armor”, and “Settings”.  Mouse looked at the options for a second as she touched the “Hacker Tools” option. “Sug, you’re not going to believe this but looks like I’ve got one heck of an upgrade.” Mouse stated in astonishment. She then clicked back to the main menu, clicked on Armor than saw her old armor in a more upgraded form, and clicked on it. The menu asked, “Would you like to replace your Armor with this one? YES/NO” Mouse tapped yes as her body enveloped in light and her new armor wrapped around her body. “That was amazing Mouse.” AndrAla implied out of amazement. “That’s nothing with these new options nothing will stop us from taking out old Mega-Breath.”  Mouse exited back to the main menu as AndrAla grabbed her shoulder making Mouse click on the “Settings” menu. Looking at the settings, she noticed a “Voice Command” option and a “Hide Icon” option. After setting, the new settings Mouse returned to the main menu, selected “Hacker Tools”, and selected a tool called “Lock Breaker”.

Mouse held the white transparent orb over the upgraded digital entry pad as she inserted her fingers into the holes on both sides and proceeded to shift them back and forth trying to unlock the door. Once she had opened the door Megabyte stood there in the shadows as he kicked her back and grabbed AndrAla by the neck and quickly tossing her back on to Mouse. Nice try girls but you’ll have to do better than that. Phong, Dr. Matrix, keep them occupied will you? “Yes, Lord Megabyte.” Dr. Matrix and Phong exited the room.

We'll Be Right Back After These Messages.

HI,

mostly good :)  i look forward to hearing about other upgrades to the characters :)

here's my break down of some issues i have :)

your grammar needs a bit of work and some of the spelling is wrong, (ignore mine)

i think you over sexualized the female characters with the mention of boob sizes going up when upgrading, not everyone will understand the size differences.

compensates should be components i think ?

on to a small gripe with the story:

In the last paragraph mouse and andraia are unlocking a door and megabyte shows up, now how does megabyte do that when he's pretending to be enzo with bob and matrix ?

the son of the user rebuilds the computer, now i'm wondering how well you know computers, because some of what you said doesn't sound possible not to mention inaccurate, so if you do know about computers i'm guessing your trying to keep the show's 'fantasy' aspects ? if the later is true just skip the rest of this post although you did get the hard drive description right  lol 

Now i'm not an expert on computers but even i know you can't have a 64gb cpu !   6.4 ghz sounds little more realistic, but that would mean it would be over clocked and need some good cooling and a quick google search shows near 9ghz at the top end from a 4ghz cpu which would probably need liquid nitrogen or dry ice to keep it from burning up in seconds :P

an old motherboard from that time wouldn't be compatible with today's modern parts, and the usb /hdmi/ other connectors would need different circuitry than what was available.

a graphics chip on the mother board in todays standards would do only basic low res gaming and it would lag/run slow.  so a new graphics card would be needed i'd recommend going for a ati radeon fury x or an nvidia titan x being top end.



hope you understand and if you want some help with tech stuff i can help :P
