“Where am I?” Ace looked around what appeared to be an empty warehouse. He spotted to hulking men who looked rather unfriendly. Ace decided to take a chance and find out where he was. “Uh…Excuse me. Yeah, you two. Where am I? And why?”

The two men started to laugh. After a few moments the one in the red shirt spoke up.

“You’ve been kidnapped! You’re not supposed to know where you are!”

“And no one said anything about being nice either.” The other man in the blue shirt stepped forward and picked up a bat. “So what says we have a spot of fun with this one. Odds are he wont be going back anyway…hehehe…”

“Uh…there’s no need to get violent! Just pretend I didn’t say a word. I’ll just lie here unconscious!” Ace started to get nervous and tried to wriggle away, but the ropes around his body were too restricting.

“Oh you’ll be unconscious, all right. And soon you’ll be lying in a body bag if you don’t shut your yap! Marvin! Gag him. We don’t want any loose screams!” The blue one began a menacing chuckle as he slowly walked towards Ace.

“I gotta get to that club! Maybe if I do, I’ll be able to figure out what’s going on and stop the game!” Bob was running down the street and he soon saw the club he was after. Unfortunately for him, the nano he stepped in the door he was suddenly back in character and couldn’t control himself, because the user was doing that for him.

“Barkeep, I’ll have one of those and some information.” He looked like a shady fellow, but one who knew what was really going on.

“I don’t know nothin’.”

“Then you must know something.”

“If the price is right, I might know a lot of things.”

“Here.” I passed him a fin, and he leaned closer ready to spill. “Now tell me, I need to know everything about a girl. Miss Lynn Montana. She sings here.”

“There ain’t nobody here by that name.”

“Are you sure?”

“Positive. But uh, maybe you’re giving me the wrong name. Not all the girls use the same names on and off the stage. Describe her to me.”

“She’s got hair like gold, and eyes like the ocean. And a body like -“

“Oh yeah. I know who you’re talking about. Her name’s Marty. Marty le Belle. I think she’s of French origin, not sure. She sings here on a regular basis. One of the favorites by the crowd. In fact, I think she’s performing tonight. In about 20 minutes. So what’d wanna know about her?”

“Did she have a twin?”

“Twin…yeah. She didn’t come in here often. Rather shy gal. Only came here once or twice looking for her sister. In fact, she was here last night. She was looking real scared. Could hardly talk. She said she had to find her sister, that it was urgent. But Marty had already gone home. So she went after her. Something about her boyfriend.”

“Really? That’s rather interesting. Who’s the boyfriend? Marty’s or the Twin? What can you tell me about him?”

“Not much really. He’s a pretty big guy. Comes in her quite often to watch his girl perform. Doesn’t say much. Keeps to himself. Never orders anything to drink. He comes, he watches, then he leaves after her. And that’s all I know.”

“Is there anything else you can tell me about any of them?”

“No sir. But Marty might be in her dressing room. If you want my advice, stay away from her. She’s trouble with a capital T.”

“Thanks.” I threw some money down on the counter and went off in search of Marty. I couldn’t understand why she lied to us. How could she expect us to solve her case if she won’t even tell us her real name? Come to think of it. She should have been here by now with Ace. And where was he? I hope against hope that he’s not in the dressing room with her. If he is, then it would certainly kill me.

I threw open the door of the dressing room and saw Marty sitting there putting on her makeup. She turned towards me and tried to cover up her shocked look.

“Hi there…Marty. Getting ready for the show?”

“-gasp- Mr. Heart! What - what are you doing here? And why are you calling me Marty?”

“That’s your name isn’t it? Marty le Belle?”

“I-I…How did you find out? Who’ve you been talking too?”

“I’m a detective. It’s my job to find these things out. So why’d you lie to us? Huh? It was your boyfriend that killed your sister wasn’t it? She found out he wanted to kill you and he found her instead of you? Isn’t that what happened? And now you’re on the run from him, using phony names, trying to get us to imprison him? Tell me.”

“I’m shocked. How did you figure it out so soon?”

“Simple. It’s all coming together. But where’s Ace. Is he hiding behind your curtain?”

“No. I thought Ace was with you? He said he was going back to the apartment after he dropped me off. He didn’t get there?”

“No. I would’ve seen him if he came. Something must have happened. Maybe your boyfriend saw you two together, got jealous, and took it out on Ace. We gotta go look for him.”

“We? I can’t. I have a show in 5 minutes.”

“You’re boyfriend’s out there watching, so it would probably be wiser to follow me. Now let’s go. My partners important to both of us, I’m sure. And until I’m paid, you’re stuck with me. So unless you want me standing 3 feet behind you on stage, let’s move it!”

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her along. We slipped out a back door and began to retrace her steps. Little did I know that she had taken a different route when she was with Ace. My chances of finding him were becoming slim, but I mustn’t loose hope. I knew there was more to this than what she was telling me, but I wanted out of this case. Let the police handle it from here.

“Freeze!” a small man in a green suit appeared in front of us. He was holding a gun, and had a nasty smile on his face.

“What in the net was that Phong!” Mouse and Phong strained to see through the light the explosion emitted. As the light faded, they saw that Hex’ lair had been blown open and two figures were coming towards them at a high speed.

“I do not know my child, but I fear it may not be good for the both of us.”

“I think you’re right sugar. Let’s get out of here, and back to the principal office!”

Phong turned their vehicle around and headed for the Principal Office. Mouse was watching the figures in the rearview mirror, and noticed that they were much closer.

“Phong, they’re going faster than we are! At this rate, they’ll catch up to us in a matter of nanos! Can’t this piece of junk go any faster!”

“We are going as fast as we possible can. Be patient my child, I’m sure no harm will come our way.”

As Mouse watched in the mirror, the figures came closer and closer towards them. Mouse began to ready the weapons on the ship just in case they were needed, but the two figures passed right on by them. To Phong and Mouse, the figures appeared to be Chaos and Hexadecimal. Only Chaos was now surrounded by green energy and had more armor around her outfit instead of just leather. She had a fierce expression on and a wild look in her eyes. Dragging behind her like a limp null was Hex. She was much paler then before, in fact she was just black and white. Her eyes were black, and her face was expressionless. It was like her energy had been sucked right out of her.

“I think they’re headed towards the game Phong! Bob and the gang are all in there! What if she does something to destroy it? They could all be lost! We have to do something!”

“I’m afraid there is nothing we can do! The energy levels on Chaos is beyond that of any supercharged Sprite.”

“What do you mean Phong?”

“Well, energy is measure on a scale of zero to five. Most Sprites are at a 2.5. But Chaos is at a 7.3! No one has ever had beyond 5! Most Sprites don’t even get that high! This is very unusual! And I fear great danger will follow. She’s supercharged, and very deadly.”

“So you’re saying there’s no way to stop her!”

“I’m sure there is a way…We would have to drain her of all this excess energy, before she does something rash, but how do we do that? I highly doubt she would just let us drain her.”

“So what you’re really saying, is that we’ve got a lot of trouble on our hands, and no backup to help us out.”

“Precisely…”

“Bob?”

“AndrAIa?”

“What’s going on!”

“I’m not sure AndrAIa, but the User seems to have control over us and is making us do certain things.”

“Then why isn’t it happening now?”

“My guess is that he’s somewhere else using someone else.”

“How do you win a game where you can’t control your actions?”

“I don’t know…Maybe if we try really hard and refuse to obey the User, maybe we’ll be able to break free of this game and get out! Who knows how long we’ve been in here! We need to get out of this game, and now!”

“I read you loud and clear Bob, but it’s not going to be easy.”

“You can say that again. I’ve been trying the whole time I was with you to break apart, but I haven’t been able to do it! The User is too strong!”

“Maybe you could contact Chaos, and she’ll be able to help us, maybe with advice?”

“Good idea!” I double clicked the watch Chaos had given me, but I couldn’t seem to get an image. “All I get is static.”

“Then we’re doomed. If we can’t beat the User, then we lose, and get nullified! This just isn’t fair!”

“I know AndrAIa, but we’ll figure out someway. So don’t lose hope.”

“Hey! What about me?” We looked over and the man in the green suit was Enzo, we had forgotten about him.

“Enzo!”

“Bob!” He ran over and knocked me over like he usually does. “We have to get out of here! Dot and I tried to find a way to escape, but then all of a sudden we were back where we started from, and the User was controlling us! So once he was done we tried to find a way to escape, but then I disappeared over here! And there’s no way we can beat this thing! It’s impossible!”

“Dot? How is she?”

“She’s pretty upset, but she says she doesn’t want to talk about it. That usually means she’s either really mad, or really sad. Maybe both.”

“We’ve got to get out of here Enzo…but how?”

“Where ya been Marty? The Boss has had us looking all over for you. And you know how long that can take.”

“I’m not Jace’ play thing anymore! He can’t have me summoned whenever he feels like it. I’m my own woman, and I broke up with him!”

“That’s not what he says. He says you and he gotta talk. Alone. So dump the suit and lets get going.”

“No way! This is the Red Heart!”

“The detective! You went to the Feds! Geez Marty, you’re going to get us all in trouble!”

“Hey Mr. Green! I’m just looking for my partner. Give him to me, and you can take Marty. She’s of no use to me!”

“Mr. Heart!”

“I don’t know nothing about your partner, but Marty’s coming with me! I don’t care what you say. So just back off, before I have to get violent! Marty, Now!”

“I don’t think so green!” Marty pulled out a gun from somewhere I never noticed and aimed it at the Green man. “No one is gonna control me! I don’t care who he is or what he can offer me! It’s not going to happen!”

“Marty. Put that thing away. We both know you’re not going to use it.”

“Jace!”

“Boss!”

“The boyfriend?”

We all looked towards the alley. There in the shadows was the build of a strong man. It was Jace, the jealous boyfriend of Marty le Belle. He stepped out and took the gun from Marty. She looked away ashamed before she got her attitude back.

“Jace. You don’t own me, so don’t think you can tell me what to do.”

“Of course not Marty. But we got to talk. Alone. Green! Dump the suit in the river. He knows to much already.”

“But boss! He’s - “

“Who are you?”

“Heart. The Red Heart.”

“The Red Heart. This isn’t the first time we’ve crossed paths, but I believe this is the first time we’ve actually exchanged words. It appears we’ve been after each other for quite some time. Isn’t that true? And now you’ve got my girlfriend involved. It appears that you hold all the cards.”

“That may be so, but you hold the Ace. The Black Ace to be exact. I want my partner back. I don’t care about your lovers tiff, just my partner. Hand him over and I’ll just walk away…this time.”

“I’m afraid that can’t happen, Red. I vowed that the day we met again would also be the last. We finish this tonight. One of us will not make it to sunrise. And I’m determined it be you. So best of luck Heart, to you and your partner. Green! Take care of him.”

Jace grabbed Marty and pulled her away with him. I wanted to follow her and help, but Mr. Green came at me with his gun. I dodged this way and that, and lucky for me, he quickly ran out of bullets. I pulled out my own gun and a pair of cuffs. Green realized there was no escape, so I called in the troops.

“Green. Before the cops come to seal you away for good, tell me where Jace took her.”

“I won’t tell you a thing!”

“Tell me and I might be able to have your sentence reduced. Come on green, if you’re going to be miserable, you might as well make Jace miserable too!”

“I - you’re right. That miserable piece of scum has crossed me for the last time. He’s gone to the warehouse at Delray and Fry.”

“-groan- where am I?”

“Aw. Poor Mr. Black is all sore from his workout with the boys. I’m really sorry.” Marty looked away from Ace and at her goons. “I leave you two alone with Ace for thirty minutes and you beat him senseless! You’re both fired! No wait! I have a better idea!” Marty pulled out her gun and shot the two thugs. “Are you feeling better Ace? I brought you some company.”

Ace looked over to his right and saw Jace tied up and unconscious next to him.

“Delray and Fry, this is it. I hope Marty is okay.”

I walked over to the door and opened it just wide enough for me to enter. I heard some voices, but they were to faint for me to make out. I saw some light just up ahead and a ladder to my left. I climbed up the ladder hoping to get a better view and possible sneak up on Jace. As I walked along the catwalk I saw Marty arguing with two thugs. She pulled out a gun and shot them. I couldn’t believe it. My Angel is really a devil in disguise! As I looked around for some sort of plan I saw a crane off to my right. I figured I could grab hold and slide down to the ground. As I landed, Jace and Ace looked up and tried to wriggle towards me. I tiptoed over to Ace and untied him, then Jace.

“Thanks Red. You’d never believe that an angel like Marty is really just as bad as the rest of us thugs. She tried to murder me! Kept saying something about waiting. Waiting for you! Then she was going to execute us both! I say we take off before she catches us!”

“No way Jace. She needs to be put away with all the other criminals.” As I began to look around for a way to trap her, a thought occurred to me. “Jace. Why is she trying to kill you? I thought you were trying to kill her?”

“Oh…Well…it’s a story I’d rather leave alone.”

“Hey, man! You’re psycho girlfriend is trying to kill me, er, us, so we deserve an explanation as to why!”

Jace pondered on Ace’ words for a few moments before deciding to tell us before she discovered us.

“She found out I was cheating on her with her sister. She was obviously hurt and jealous, I mean come on, who wouldn’t be! So she broke up with me before I could get the chance. And then the next thing I knew Sarina, her sister, was dead! I knew it had to be Marty. She was jealous and wanted revenge. That’s the kind of girl she is; she always has to have her way. She was too high maintenance for me, but her sister was simple. I liked that. Anyway, she’s been after me, trying to get her revenge. If only she was more like -“

“Her sweet, innocent sister, maybe her big, bad, EX-boyfriend wouldn’t have cheated on her? Is that what you were going to say? Go ahead. I won’t hurt you…yet.”

“Marty.”

“That’s right Red, it’s little ol’ angelic me. I can’t believe you fell for it. It was too easy, getting all of you here in this abandoned warehouse. Now I’ll finally be rid of all of you. I’ll be able to take over Jace’ lovely, misguided ‘gang’, and Mr. Heart won’t be able to stop me. Pity though, I was rather hoping for an arch nemesis. But I’ll be better off without you. Any last words before I blow you all to smithereens?”

Marty looked at us as she slowly sauntered towards her explosives. Ace began to speak up before Marty interrupted him.

“You’ll -“

“Never get away with it? Oh no! Ha! Famous last words. Anything else? I have a busy schedule ahead of me.”

Marty turned around and began to fiddle with her weapon. I looked around and knew that we’d have no time to run with that gun in her hand. I’d have to distract her long enough to safely get away. I saw that crane beside me and began to get an idea.

“You guys, when I give the signal, I want you to run away. Don’t look back, just keep on running. The cops will be here soon.”

“But Heart -“

“No buts! Now get ready to run!” I grabbed hold of the crane and yelled out to her. “Hey Marty! Catch!”

I swung the crane as she turned around. It hit her square on and tossed her onto the dynamite. We ran out of the building and heard the cops in the distance.

“That was some smooth thinking Mr. Heart. I guess you aren’t so bad after all.”

“Thanks Jace. Do you think Marty’s all right?”

“Sure. She’s a tough cookie, but you should probably get her before she escapes.”

“You’re right.”

I ran back into the building and found Marty lying right where she fell. I ran towards her and was about to pick her up when her eyes opened.

“I knew you’d be back! A goody two shoes like yourself can never resist capturing the bad guy, or woman in this case. So have you got it all figured out yet, or do I need to draw you a map?”

“I got it. Jace fell in love with your sister, so you got jealous, killed her and decided to frame Jace for her murder. You knew I would catch on sooner or later so you decided to kill me and my partner off with Jace. You’d claim Jace killed us and he escaped. You’d get fame and fortune for your story and live happily ever after. You just forgot one thing in your flawless plan.”

“Oh yeah? What’s that?”

“The good guys always win.”

“Then I’ll just have to prove that wrong even if it means my life!” Marty hit a button beside her and a timer started to go off. It was the bomb and there was only sixty seconds left until the whole building exploded.

“You’re crazy! You’ll kill us both! If we both die, you’ll never win!”

“That’s where you’re wrong! You’re stupid partner will come in here looking for you, and then you’ll both die. I may not live, but I’ll rid the criminal world of you two pests! And then I’ll be worshipped and live on in their hearts and minds forever as a hero!”

“You’re psycho!”

“And you’re toast!”

“Red! What’s the hold up?”

“Freeze! All of you!”

“Jessica!”

“Who?”

“What’s going on?”

“That’s Jessica. She’s -“

“I can introduce myself. My name is Jessica. I’m Jace’ sister, and I’m here to revenge him. This tramp, Marty, has caused my brother a lot of pain and ruined his life with her selfish whims and wants. So I’m going to have the satisfaction of ending your life. Bye-bye.”

“Wait!” Ace stepped in front of Marty.

“What is it blondie?”

“You can’t kill her! I know she’s probably made your life miserable and she’s done a lot of bad things! But she deserves a fair trial! Besides…I love her.”

I recoiled in horror. I always suspected, but never knew for sure until now. Ace did love her, and I was sure she loved him too. It appeared that Marty was also shocked, but Jessica looked bored.

“Nice speech pretty boy, but I’ll shoot through you to get to her!”

“The bomb!” I looked over and saw there was only fifteen seconds left!

“ “What bomb?” ” Ace and Jessica looked over then screamed in fear. They ran for the door and escaped. I was about to leave too when I saw Marty just standing there.

“We have to go! There’s no time left!” I tried to pull her away but she wouldn’t budge.

“No. She’s right. I made his life miserable. I always had to get my own way, and I always got it, but it was never enough. He gave me everything, but I was too selfish to be happy. I don’t deserve to leave this building.”

“Five seconds! Feel guilty later! We’ve got to leave!”

I hoisted her over my shoulder and ran for the back door, it was much closer than the one I came in. I ran down the narrow alleyway and heard the explosion. I jumped forward and the blast threw us into several garbage cans in the way. We could feel the searing heat as we lay there in its path.

“Is this the best you got sugar?”

“This is not the supercomputer Bob! Erm…Mouse.”

“I know Phong, but a leech? Are you sure that’s strong enough to battle her?”

Mouse held a clear jar that contained their weapon against Chaos; A Leech. It resembled a null, only the Leech was black, limp, bigger and flatter then nulls. The Leech was programmed to suck the energy out of objects. The Leech used enormous amounts of energy rapidly, so there would be no excess to disperse anywhere else.

“We must hurry. If the Stealth Ninja is headed for the game-cube, we have no time to loose! We must hurry to the ship!”

“No offence Phong, but let’s use my jet. It’ll go much faster than your ancient vehicle.”

“If you insist.”

Phong and Mouse hurried to her Jet, and began to speed towards Chaos and Hex. As they pulled up alongside them, Mouse opened the door and prepared to throw the Leech on Chaos.

“You must be careful Mouse! The Leech must hit Chaos and only her. If you miss it may hit Hexadecimal and drain her to deletion or hit some citizens below, and escape on an energy sucking rampage.”

“You sure know how to take the pressure off a gal. Well. Here goes!”

Mouse aimed and threw the Leech. It hurtled through the air for what seemed like milliseconds, when it hit Chaos on the back. She arched backwards and began a piercing, horrible shriek. She squirmed and thrashed about trying to knock the Leech off. In her struggle, Hex was thrown and began to fall to the ground below. Phong turned the jet and caught Hex in the open door where Mouse was. As Chaos fought with the Leech she turned around and looked down at Mouse and Phong. Her eyes became a lifeless, deadly shade of black, and she pointed an accusing finger at them. The green energy around her surged higher, and became a deep shade of purple that began to extend and cover the sky.

I regained consciousness to the sound of crying. As I looked over to my right and I saw Marty hunched over sobbing.

“Marty? Marty, what’s wrong?”

“Everything!” She looked up, her cheeks stained with ashes and tears. “For starters, I’m going to jail. And secondly, I made Jace’ life miserable. He’ll never forgive me.”

“I…I guess you really loved him.”

“That’s the worst part, I didn’t. I only liked him because he was good-looking, rich, and had a bad rep with guys like you. But he was so sweet! He gave me everything because he loved me. But I guess I was too self-centered to keep him. He fell for my nobody of a sister. I took everything away from him. His money, his kindness, and even his girlfriend…my sister. Now I’ll never have her back either! I’m all alone in this world, not a friend on my side.” She looked deep into my eyes and began to cry again.

Maybe I’m crazy but I feel sorry for her. She’s done a lot of things that are going to earn her a spot in jail, including attempted murder on my life and Ace’s. but still, she is all alone, and she is only human after all. She can’t help making a few mistakes. She - Stop it right there! She’s just sucking you into her trap. You’ll feel sorry for her and let her go. She’s just trying to use you like she did Jace. But I won’t let her manipulate me. But I…I still love her. I don’t know what it is but she’s got such a strong hold on me. Just look away and cuff her.

“I’m sorry kid, but thems the breaks. You break the rules, you gotta pay the price. And sweetie, Jail is the price you gotta pay.” It broke my heart but I put the handcuffs on her.

“I understand. You’re just doing your job. If you go back to my apartment, you’ll find enough money to pay your fee in the cookie jar.” I started to lead her towards the cop outside the alleyway. “You know Mr. Heart…Red. If I had met you first…”

“Please. Don’t…”

“I could’ve really loved you. Maybe I do. But I guess now we’ll never know. Will we?”

I could feel my heart beating a million miles an hour. She loved me. After everything we’ve been through, and having Ace around too, she loved me. She loved me and not Ace or Jace. I know that this might be another trick, but I could feel it. She was telling the truth. Maybe I’m just hearing what I want, but she loved me, and that’s all that mattered. If only I could…

“I guess not. Officer Peterson! This is the girl. She’s the one who set off the explosives.”

I began to walk away after I handed her over to one of the cops, when she pulled me back.

“Don’t do this. You know in your heart in wrong. Believe in it like your name!”

“Sorry sister, but the law is the law, there are no exceptions.”

“Red…I love you. I always have, from the moment I first saw you. Don’t you love me? Tell me Red.”

“Tell you what?”

“Tell me what we both know is true. Tell me that you love me, that you want me the way I want you. Please Red, tell me the truth.”

“I…” I hesitated, I knew that I couldn’t say it without breaking a few hearts, mainly mine. All I could do was play the part I was dealt, the tough cop with his heart as cold as stone. “All I want is to see justice done. I’m sorry. But this is the way it has to be.”

I tipped my hat at her and walked away. She was put into the cop car and driven to the police station where she would be charged with attempted murder, conspiracy, and who knows what else. I don’t know what will happen to her, and maybe it’s better that way. Never knowing.

I stood beside Ace and we didn’t exchange words, not until all the cops were gone and it was just us.

“I loved her, but she didn’t love me back, did she?”

I looked over towards Ace and saw a heartbroken man. I know he wants to be comforted but he doesn’t want to be lied to either. “Sure she did.”

“Really? …Nah.”

“Yeah. In fact, she told me just a moment ago by the cops that she loved you, and part of the reason she did what she did was for you.”

“What about the trying to kill me part?”

“Well, I guess she realized she couldn’t have you because of everything she’d done so far, so she didn’t want anyone else to have you either.” He looked at me and said nothing for a few moments, then smiled.

“Thanks Red. I guess you really do live up to your name.”

I smiled at him then started to head for the car. I guess we all need a few white lies to help us along the way, but sometimes they rage out of control like with Marty and Jace. What a second! What happened to him? And Jessica?

“Ace. What –“

“Jessica went with the cops. She’s got some charges against her. But Jace…Well, when I came back out of the building the cops were here but Jace had disappeared. I guess it was too much to expect of him to stick around for the cops.”

“Do you think he’s still got a vendetta against us?”

“Probably. After all, you are still the good guy.”

“I guess so.”

Well, like I said in the beginning it all started on a dark Tuesday night. All was quiet except for the occasional alleycat knocking over a can. It seemed like any other ordinary Tuesday; but now I know that tonight was the beginning of my big break. But my broken heart would heal, and I would get more advertising because of this case. I guess what it all comes down to is love. Never fall in love, it only leads to heartache.

Ace and I got in the car and drove back to the office. Who knows when our next big case will happen. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, maybe never, who knows. But it’s best that way, never knowing…

“Bob?”

“Surfr?”

“What happens now?”

“I don’t know. I guess we wait until the User is finished with us.”

“Do you think we’ll ever see mainframe again?”

As Ray voiced his thoughts the surroundings became purple and the sound of electricity was heard loudly through the air. Bob and Ray looked around and saw the other sprites scattered around. Suddenly they saw and could feel the electric current surging through their bodies. Their thoughts echoed throughout the game:

ANDRAIA: So this is what it’s like to be deleted…I wonder if Matrix is thinking about me?

MATRIX: I don’t believe it! We lost? How could we lose? How could Bob lose? We always win!

DOT: We lost…Now Bob and I will never be able to resolve our issues! And Enzo…Its all my fault! I should have kept him away! Now he’ll never be an adult and enjoy a rich life…its all my fault…no…it’s all Chaos’ fault! If she hadn’t come here!…

ENZO: Oh no! We’re about to be deleted! Nullified! Toast! Permanently off-line! Forever lost! Irreversible! Or worse! Nulls! Slimy nulls! Following Hexadecimal around 24/7! What a waste of energy! Hey! I wonder who’s gonna get my stuff…?

RAY: I guess this is better then being deleted by the Guardians! Pity I won’t be able to surf anymore. I really enjoyed that…at least AndrAIa will be with me wherever we go after this life…

BOB: This is bad…Very bad.
