[Open in a dark, ruined area, in the background
of which the Principle Office can be seen. The camera pans past diapers hanging
on a clothesline and a paintbrush-holding female binome in a rocking chair
who is gaping blankly at binary numbers painted on a wall. Some binomes lying
in the rubble look up when the Pinnacle explodes, releasing a tear. From
the opposite angle the camera pans past more binomes, one staring at the
tear, two mechanically bouncing a ball against a wall. A particularly
scruffy-looking One walks up to the camera, eating something unpleasant looking
out of a tin can as he gazes at the tear. Flies buzz around him. A shadow
passes over him, and he begins trembling. ABCs fly toward the Principle Office.
Two binomes cower in the front of an abandoned car as the shadows pass over
them, then they slam the hood down over themselves. The ABCs form a ring
around and below the tear. The viewpoint pulls back, showing the scene on
a VidWindow that Megabyte is watching. The VidWindow image changes to show
a viral officer.]
[The ABCs launch their missiles at the Saucy
Mare. Most stream past the pirate ship, but some hit. Seen from inside, holes
appear in the hull, letting in light to illuminate the barrels within. The
camera pulls back, showing hundreds of sticks of dynamite among the items
in the hold. Seen from above the deck, there is an explosion inside the Mare.
Seen from a distance, several more explosions set the ship on fire. It continues
on its path. The viral binome and commander lean close and stare. The flaming
skeleton of the ship flies toward them. Another explosion sends a wave of
fire washing over the ABCs. The viral commander is beginning to panic. His
chair catches fire right by his foot, and he stamps at it to try to put it
out. Other ABCs glow white, then explode. Seen from below by Mr. Christopher,
Mr. Andrew, AndrAIa, and Captain Capacitor, the Saucy Mare streaks through
the sky and down toward the Energy Sea. The pirates are staring in disbelief.
The ship crashes into the sea. When it hits Capacitor closes his eye. When
he looks again, he sees the needle of the prow sinking slowly below the surface,
smoke rising into the air.]
Megabyte grabs Matrix by the throat. Matrix
gags, then looks over to see the blades approaching his face. Megabyte's
eyes narrow. Matrix looks down. Then he draws back and punches Megabyte in
the abdomen. Megabyte's eyes widen with pain, then roll upward and close.
Matrix punches him over and over, sending him reeling back. Matrix pauses.
Megabyte, his hand in front of his abdomen, looks over. Matrix extends AndrAIa's
trident. Megabyte, then Matrix, narrow their eyes. In slow motion they lunge
at each other. Claws strike the trident's tines and shatter. In pain, Megabyte
sinks to his knees, then falls. AndrAIa watches from higher up on the dome.
Matrix's boot comes down on Megabyte's throat, and the tines of the trident
almost touch his face.]
