Part Three

"Let's go!" Dot yelled as the forsces seperated into the group who would distract the guardians and the ones who would envade the academy.
The CPU car she was riding in slowed as she opened the door and zoomed out on her zipboard. She saw her strike force waiting for her. She leaped off her zipboard and motioned for them to follow her. Bob and the other sprites came up behind her as the binomes followed behind.
She lead them to the tunnels that few knew about. It took both Matrix and Bob to pry the hatch open so that they could file into the tunnels. Dot once again lead them through the corridors which she had studied so closely.
The entered a larger chamber which resembled some sort of testing lab. She nodded at Mouse to take the lead after searching for hostiles. Dot shoulder her gun and walked farther into the room, eyes settling on three broken cryo chambers.
There was a fourth one, still active. Dot moved closer and wiped the frost off with one hand. Inside was a sprite, red hair gleaming against the dark interior. Her eyes were closed as if she was sleeping.
Dot turned to glance around the lab, viles lay smashed on the ground, cages were in pieces all over disintergrated energy lay on several surfaces. It was like walking into a murder scene.
"Come on, sugah, we gotta go!" Mouse yelled at her as she came back in.
Dot took her gun off her shoulder and rejoined the group. The ran through the twisting corridors till the came to where the corridor bisected into two.
She stopped to watch as the other sprite ran to the right. Bob stopped and shouldered his own gun. She opened her mouth to say something when he kissed her. He kissed her short and hard before letting her go. Mouse called after him and he ran up the tunnel.
"Goodbye." Dot whispered to herself. "Let's move out, troops."

Bob ran down the tunnel with the others, his mind focused on his object. The came to where the tunnel ended into a hallway. He melted the bars which blocked their way. AndrAIa gave Matrix a swift kiss before running to go distract. Ray was already gone.
Bob used his powers once again to melt the ceiling right under the ventalation shaft. He levitated Matrix and then Mouse into the shaft before going in himself. Mouse led the way.
He gritted his teeth as he crawled along. It was all he could to avoid having his armor scratching against the walls of the shaft. The journey through the shaft seemed to take forever.
Finally, Matrix paused in front of him as he heard the sound of Mouse's armor scratching against the metal walls. There was the sound of a ventalation grate falling and he heard a loud thunk as Mouse jumped out of the shaft.

A Few Seconds Prior

Daemon's head jerked up as she heard the sounds of the Mainframer's attack. She knew what was coming.
"Mercury!" She stood and ran to the guardian.
"What is it?" Mercury, with all her enhanced abilities, had not heard the sounds that Daemon could.
"Get out of here, now!" Daemon yelled at her.
"Why?" Mercury asked, for once she did not obey her commander immediatly.
"The attack has started, leave now." Daemon's voice was as hard as steel.
"No, I will stay to protect you." Mercury felt a gun shoved at her, she took it and slung the strap over her shoulder automatically.
"Obey me." Mercury's head snapped up at Daemon's order. She nodded her head. "And take the guards with you."
Mercury bowed her head in defeat and left the room dismissing the guards.
Daemon looked at the door and turned to sit on her throne. She crossed her legs, the material of her long scarlet robe fell around her ankles. She sighed softly, wishing she could stop time.
She sat there and waited, her destiny was coming.

Same Time, Elsewhere

Daemon's forces were kept busy with the smaller and faster CPUs. They had lost a great deal of their forces and yet still more came as the CPUs performed ariel acrobatics without ever intending to.
"Okay people," The voice came over the radio in every CPU. "Retreat to the point, bring as many of these bastards as we can get."
Mainframe's forces surprised Daemon's ABCs with half of them firing off uncountable rounds as the other half turned to runaway. Quickly, the attack forces left cutting themselves in half till only one was still firing.
It was just turning as it exploded, caught by one of the ABC's blasts. It joined the other casualties that lay deleting on the ground.
About two thirds of Daemon's airborne forces followed the retreating CPUs. Both ABCs and CPUs were being shot and they fell all over the skies of the Super Computer.

Inside the Academy

Dot leaned against the wall as she reloaded. Shots flew past her as binomes faught off the defending guardians. She jumped back into the hallway, her gun shooting off a spray.
She stopped and took a nano to aim at a single target. She fired, watching him go down. She heard her forces shooting from behind her and jumped back behind the wall to help them.
A female guardian with a bionic left eye was followed by five others. She was shooting sprays, binomes went down fast.
"Everyone through the corridor, full spray!" Dot yelled, entering the hallway that she had just exited.
She shot in a wave, going from one side to the other quickly. She looked to make sure that the guardians were losing before turning down another corridor. She headed at a fast run to the core.

Outside Daemon's Throne Room

Mouse jumped out of the shaft, her katanas down as she prepared to attack. The guards that she had been expecting were not there.
"All clear!" She yelled up at Matrix and Bob.
The guns came down before the men.
Matrix surveyed the room.
"Where are the guards?" He asked as he steadied his weapon.
Mouse shrugged as all three turned to the door in front of them.
"Not quite what Ah expected." Mouse said quietly as she moved softly towards the door.
Matrix and Bob stayed silent as they followed Mouse. She swallowed as they approached their focus. She quickly picked the electronic lock and the door slid open.
Inside was completely dark except for a circle of light about 20 feet in diameter. They could not see beyond it. They moved slowly into the circle, the glare limited their vision even more.
“Daemon!” Matrix yelled, his bionic eye activated and began to glow red. “Come out of where you’re hiding!”
Another light activated, it shone directly down upon a throne. A small sprite sat upon the throne, her head bent. The light reflected off her mettalic black hair. Her head slowly rose, showing the Mainframers a sight which would haunt their dreams for cycles to come.
Blood red skin stretched taut of a delicate bone structure. Scars covered her face and down into her neck, disappearing in the scarlet color robes she wore. Her hands were also covered with scars, the nails the same color as her skin, they were long and sharp like tiny daggers. Her eyes were undefinable in color and shape, but to the sprites she looked to be no more than v1.2 or v1.3.
She stood up and grabbed the neck of her robes. She pulled slightly as they fell to the floor. Underneath they saw that her body was still covered with those scars. Skin tight pants covered her legs and a bustier covered her bosom. They were both the color of her skin, giving the illusion of nakedness.
She slowly made her way down the stairs, her eyes trained forward. Matrix could not believe that this was Daemon.
“You rang?”
