Matrix[Sitting down] I'm- I'm sorry. I wanted you to be proud of me and I blew it. What have I done? What have I become?
[Standing up] Look, you survived the games and brought this crew together and rescued me. I am proud of you, Enzo.
Matrix
I've done... questionable things.
You did what you had to do. We've all changed, all grown up and now it's time to fight back.
Matrix
A lost guardian and a renegade, not a key tool between them.
And a big job to do. We'll be okay. The surfer can get us back to Mainframe. We'll deal with Megabyte and then Daemon, together. [Extends open hand] You ready?
Matrix
Yes. [Grabs hand and Bob pulls him up, they walk together] Bob, it's good to see you.
It's good to see you too, Matrix.
[Draws gun at Hack and Slash] Easy Matrix, they we never THAT bad.
Um, Slash, does that not look a little bit like Bob?
"Like Bob"? Why, yes, it does!
BBoth
Bob! [Rushes to Bob] Oh, Bob, Bob!
We have missed you so much!
We do have! You have no idea! Oh, oh, I like the new hair!
It is very exciting look for you!
Bob, who is that big green fellow?
Oh. Enzo. It is a good thing he is on our side.
Oh, boy, wait 'til she sees you!
She is gonna have a connection!
Come on, let's go see Dot!
Yes, we have been taking very good care of Dot!
Just like a baby in our arms.
Just like! Goodness, I wonder what happened to his eye.
Gee I dunno, but I wouldn't wanna see the other guy.
We have brought you a surprise!
Yes, a very big surprise!
Huge! [They present Matrix, and Dot looks at him curiously]
Matrix
Uh- hi, sis...
Enzo...? Enzo... [Hugs him while crying] Oh, Enzo! I thought you were nullified... I thought I'd lost everything...
Matrix
I had a promise to keep. I brought Bob home.
[Bob is being passionately kissed by Mouse]
It's...nice to see you too, Mouse...
[Enters control chambers] You took one step closer and touch his head, Phong gets it!
Matrix
I don't like binomes who threaten my friends. [Opens fire at two binomes who flee] Phong, it's me.
Forgive me my not standing to greet you. I am glad to see you, my son.
Matrix
I am glad to see you, too. Where's Megabyte?
Behind you. [Matrix turns to Megabyte attempting to slash him]
At last, Enzo. Why, yes, it is... young Enzo Matrix, home from the games. My, how you've grown. And such toys... Does your sister know you're playing with them? Where is that annoying chatter of yours? "Megabreath" this and "Megabarf" that. Why don't you put that gun away, boy, and try fighting like a real sprite?
[Matrix pins down Megabyte and aims his trident at his head]
You can't do this... It goes against everything you stand for...
Matrix
You took away my life, destroyed my home, caused nothing but pain and suffering to everyone I held dear! [strikes to the side of Megabyte's head, to his surprise] Surprised? Don't be. You're not worth it. Mainframe will always endure. Remember this defeat, this humiliation. Remember you can never win. [Makes Megabyte fall onto the beam]
No. YOU remember, boy. How I turned defeat into victory! How I left you with a dying system! (Activating the portal of the supercomputer, control it at the end of the beam, and walk with one leg to go near the portal of the supercomputer)
[Watching Megabyte on the VidWindow] Oh, no you don't. [Hacking a small panel] One last double cross, sugar?! [Pressed the button for switching the portal of the supercomputer into the web portal by trapping Megabyte into the web, while Megabyte is touching the portal; the web creature tentacles came out of the portal and grab Megabyte into it]
[Gets out of the portal] Good day, mates! Who was that guy? He seemed to be miffed.
Matrix
Surfer! [Light glow teleported Bob in front of him] Bob!
So, what'd I miss? [Feeling Principal Office is shaking, look around and look at the city of Mainframe is falling] The System! It's shutting down! This is bad...
Matrix
Very bad.
[An opera production of an overview of the season's plot begins with Bob, Dot, Matrix, AndrAIa, Mouse, Ray, Phong, Little Enzo and Frisket watching]
BDBinome Dot
[Singing] The web invaded Mainframe. Sprite and virus battle side by side. Attempting to reclaim the city from the rift which opened wide. But Megabyte betrayed Bob and He threw him deep inside the pit. The pit was closed and Bob was hosed and all that he could say was...
BBBinome Bob
[Hoisted up by rope] NO!
BMBinome Mouse
Without Bob to protect us we thought we would have no barrier, from he who would infect us, except Enzo which was scarier.
BDBinome Dot
The city shivered terrified from of the Infector's touch.
BEBinome Enzo
I guess your fear was verified, I wasn't a protector much.
BLBinome line dancers
I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much. [Repeated three times]
BMBinome Mouse
It wasn't Enzo's fault at first, he only was a little Sprite
BPBinome Phong
At best he was the worst but then he slowly learned to do it right.
BDBinome Dot
And just as he was getting skilled a Game came down he couldn't win. I thought for sure they'd both been killed, first Bob, then Enzo. Not again!
BCBinome chorus
And just as he was getting skilled, a Game came down he couldn't win. She thought for sure they'd both been killed, first Bob, then Enzo. Not again!
BMBinome Matrix
I went from Game to Game, I aged, I grew, and lost my innocence. I soon became enraged by each and every bad experience. The Sprite you knew was gone, I had become a grim aggressor man. I knew from that point on that I was truly Bob's successor man
BCBinome chorus
The Sprite we knew was gone, he had become a grim aggressor man. He knew from that point on that he was truly Bob's successor man.
BBBinome Bob
I met up with the Webriders and took the form of Interface.
BMBinome Matrix
I joined my gun with pirate swords and sailed the seas of cyberspace.
BBBinome Bob and Matrix
When at last the pair of us were finally reunited guys, Our shouts of joy did blare because we were really delighted guys.
BBBinome Bob
[Takes deep breath] We soon made tracks to Mainframe so our friends could reunite us. We made it back and Megabyte was waiting there to fight with us. When Bob went face to face with Hexadecimal. [Takes deep breath]
BCBinome chorus
His chance for survival shrank from small to infinitesimal. [Repeated four times]
BHBinome Hexdadecimal
Bob helped to de-fragment my head, while Matrix fought with Megabyte. I thought he'd wind up dead, but Matrix put up a terrific fight
BMBinome Matrix
I'd dreamed of this each lonely night, of doing in that virus trash. But just as I had won the fight, he engineered a system crash!
BCBinome chorus
You dreamed of this each lonely night, of doing in that virus trash. But just as you had won the fight, he engineered a system crash!
BBBinome Bob
What Megabyte had hoped to do was cause his death to crack us up. I gambled on the User to reboot and thereby back us up. It worked! We were all born anew and rid of things barbaric. Now we're back together, everything is alphanumeric!
BCBinome chorus
It worked! We were all born anew and rid of things barbaric. Now we're back together, everything is alphanumeric! Now we're back together, [sustained] EVERYTHING IS ALPHANUMERIC! [Audience stands in applause with Phong taking pictures]
[An armada of Daemon's ships comes out of portal]
Matrix, they're Guardians! Every one of them! That's what I've been saying, but we can't Guardians, there must be another way!
Bob, we know how you feel about deletion, but what choice do we have?
We can drive them back, seal the system again, that's it!
Matrix
Look, Mainframe comes first, we must defend our homeland.
Yeah, mend and defend, not delete and defend. [Matrix takes off on bike]
All right, what's the plan?
[Nulls have completely covered a glowing Hexadecimal, and Nibbles has just joined the pile]
NNulls
I live, daughter... Help...!
[Little Enzo looks as though he is about to cry]
Matrix
I- I can't believe it...
What is it? You two look like you've seen a ghost.
Sis...That's dad isn't it? That's our dad!
Bob...that's our father. That thing is Welman Matrix.
[Matrix, Bob and Frisket have arrived in a fighting game]
[Sighs] No Glitch, no game stats...
Matrix
No problem. This one was old when I was young. I can't believe the User still plays it.
You've played this one before?
Matrix
Oh yeah. Welcome to the dojo level of Pantsu Hebi... [Strikes a few poses with requisite sounds] ...X! Basic multi-level fight game... with a twist!
Matrix
Wait.
Matrix
This is the final level, Bob.
So, the User might not even get here?
Matrix
Maybe. The Game Sprites might defeat him.
Matrix
But, if the User does make it this far, he's gonna have power-ups out the yin-yang.
Matrix
Let's see what we've got... C'mere, boy. Reboot! [Reboots into a Son Gohan-esque boy, while Frisket turns into a small Pikachu-like creature] Oh no...
FFrisket
Frisket! Frisket!
[Sniggering] You were right though. Just like old times.
Matrix
Oh, you can laugh now. We know what you're gonna reboot as.
Okay... Reboot! [Is trapped inside a small prism]
Matrix
Told you there was a twist.
[In Rocky the Rabid Raccoon 2, Enzo has rebooted as a Anakin Skywalker-esque puppet]
(speaking in a wooden, halting way) What are....these things??
You appear to be some sort of mannequin.
Mannequin...? Badwalker??
Matrix
Oh, you aren't gonna be any help.
Rocky's searching for a way in. It's time to do it, lover!
Matrix
Okay... Reboot! [he reboots as a Darth Vader-esque figure, while Bob and AndrAIa turn into a soldier and Barbie-style doll respectively]
Matrix
What happened to Phong and the idiots?
[In a Yoda voice] Yogurt, I am- *ahem!* (normal voice) I am.
Right in front of you. [They have rebooted as soda cans]
Yeah, and we heard the idiots line.
[The wedding ceremony still hasn't started]
Matrix
Yeah.
Matrix
But we can't find Phong and Enzo.
Matrix
Look, Bob, don't worry. We're on it. At least the bride showed up.
[Phong and Little Enzo arrive]
[Pointedly] Go and get her.
Matrix
Oh. Uh... Yeah. Right.
Wait. We've got someone else to do that.
[The music starts up and Dot arrives, led down the aisle by Welman in a robotic suit]
Matrix
Dad...?
WWelman
You look beautiful, princess.
This is the happiest second of my life...
[Megabyte has been captured and placed in a cell behind a firewall]
So I imagine the real Gateway command is in a safe place.
Safer than the Archive? The Core room. [Chuckles] Now why didn't I think of that?
You must be slipping, Megabyte.
You know, I really must congratulate you, Bob. It was the perfect trap.
Thank you, but I can't take the credit.
No, no, you never were the brains of the opposition, were you? I assume I have the lovely Dot Matrix to thank for my present circumstances.
Seems fair, after what you tried to do to her!
Oh, this must go a long way to satisfy your overactive sense of fair play.
[Bob and Matrix glare at him]
Matrix
Let's get this over with!
No. Just a scan. I don't believe in deletion.
You can't go against your code.
And neither can you. That's the problem. It's not your fault. You're programmed to be this way. We've just gotta work out a way to reprogram you.
So... I won't be a Virus?
Ah... so, a fate worse than deletion. And they call me a monster.
