I paused and considered what I was about to say... then decided it was nesscessary. "Well... it would be drastic... but perhaps a system rollback." it was a astonishing prospect. "If we did, we would lose our memories of what's happened, but it would eradicate Korri... and rescue those corrupted datawraiths." I bit my lip and waited for a reponse.

Tweaker paused. "System rollback. I like that idea. And we could back ourselves up to prevent memory loss. It's not like the Users have uploaded any new documents in the last few minutes-- this server often goes days without an update." Why didn't I think of that?
Tweaker strode over to the door and opened it. "I'll have to get back to the Command Center to initiate the rollback. Let's get to a datastre... oh, GIF."
Two dozen DataWraiths stood menacingly outside with green glows hovering around their heads and streaks of corruption interlacing their ciruits. They filled the hallway and pulled out their meshes. "Clean ones! Get them!"
The DataWraiths opened fire and Tweaker considered that, between the DataWraiths trying to derezz him and the Users who would probably delete him after this debacle, it was really quite a good thing that he had friends like Harpo and Kamui...

I smiled to myself as I activated my mesh sword and took a forward roll, cutting the first's feet out from under him, then stabbed the next in the stomach area, then used him as leverage to flip myself over the second and taking out the two behind them with my free mesh. "Guys, go for the sides- the weakest spot!"

Kamui.EXe whiped out her mod LOL and fired. She made a hit brining down one of the Datawraiths.

Tweaker dived under the mesh fire and flung his Cluster Disc, shattering three Wraiths and sending them back to the Userworld. Another Wraith zipped behind him and blasted him where he lay; Tweaker grunted with the impact and kicked the Wraith's legs out from under him. Tweaker jumped back up and smacked him with his disc a few times. He spun around and blocked three mesh blasts with his disc; the Power Block subroutine kicked in and directed the hyper-energized blasts into another Wraith.
"Damage buffet, deresolution to follow!"

Kamui.EXE fired off a few more shots taking out a few more Datawraiths until she heard the mesh blast. She wasn't sure what had drawn her attention to it but apparently it was a good thing it did, she saw Tweaker get hit.
Tweaker!
She started to help clear out the Datawraiths that were surrounding him.

I shot tweo more Datawraiths in the head behind them, then noticed Tweaker. I lay down cover fire, taking out several Datawraiths that were surrounding Tweak.

"Gaah! I'm getting mobbed over here!" The DataWraiths had adopted a divide-and-conquer strategy, simultaneously selecting Tweaker as their target. Once he was out of the way, the battle against Kamui and Harpo would be that much easier. Tweaker was determined not to make it that easy, however, and with Harpo and Kamui hewing away at them from the outside, the strategy was being less than successful. Tweaker rezzed up Ritips and swung in a circle, clearing out five Wraiths in a single swing. Then only one DataWraith was left. Seeing herself outnumbered, the DataWraith turned to run; even as she fled, Tweaker eyeballed her with his Profiler, cross-referenced to his datasheet, and deactivated her x-y-z FOM properties. The DataWraith froze in place, unable to move or jump in any direction. Tweaker slowly strolled up to the trapped Wraith. She glared fiercely and pointed her Mesh menacingly at his face, but knew that if she fired she would be instantly derezzed by Harpo and Kamui. Tweaker lightly tapped her on the header with his disc. "You are now a prisoner of war. It's the Recycle Bin for you, ma'am." Without looking back at Harpo and Kamui approaching behind him, he said, "What should we do with her?" ///PM( Kamui.exe, Harpo989.exe) " My stats: Health: 21%Energy: 88% Let's not tell the Wraiths about this. -end of line-" ///

"There's no gurantee that if we disinfect her that she won't be as equally nasty," kamui.EXe says.
She was caught off guard on what would happen next. David scooped her up in to his arms and ran off with her while activating his cloaking subroutine.
"GYAH! LET ME GO!" Kamui.EXe yelped as she started thrashing around punching David.
<< OW! HEY! Stop that! Where did you learn to punch like that?>> David yelped.
"ICP training now where else! PUT ME DOWN! I HAVE FEET YOU KNOW!" Kamui.EXE snapped as she continued punching.
<<Ow! Ow! Keep doing that and I'll drop you!>> says David.
"Isn't that exactly what I want?" Kamui.EXe growls.
David lowers his voice, << I don't thinks so. This is the only way the cloack covers both of us. You DO wanna defeat Korri, right?>>
Kamui.EXE stopped punching. David had a plan.

I pulled out my mesh just in time for Kamui and the Wraith to dissapear. "Gah... I tell everyone but no one seems to listen! never trust a Wraith!" I spoke to no one in particular. then I turned to Tweaker. "This Wraith we captured would be best suited as our prisoner. most Wraiths are unfeeling, but there's something different about these... anyway. I say that one of us should hurry up and try to roll back the system. meanwhile, the other could go after Kamui."

"Alright! Now that you've decided to kidnap me, what's your plan assuming you HAVE one?" kamui.EXE asks David.
David was quiet for a moment as he snuck past some more Datawraiths.
<<Korri needs to take a solid form to be derezzed, right? You remember my plan from before?>>
"But it was agreed that we would do a system roll back! I can't derezz you, I promissed that I would never derezz again," kamui.EXE says.
<<You're going to HAVE to be brave and do it! Who's heard of an anti-virus who hasn't derezzed anything? Why won't you do it?>> says David.
"Because.... I've lost a friend that way." kamui.EXE says.
<< Would your friend wanna see you still grieving over him like this? It's not easy letting go! I know that because I've lost people too! But grieving never sloves anything! It just leads to more. I understand that this is going to be a hard one for you but you have to do it! Are you really that keen on losing your memories?>> says David.
They snuck past some more Datawraiths.
"No.... not again...." Kamui.EXE says slowly.

Tweaker grimaced. Yep. Always bad to worse. "I don't have the cloaking abilities to track a DataWraith, and you don't have the permissions or the skills to perform the rollback. You go after Kamui, I'll get back to the Control Panel. Here, take Mrs. Wraith with you-- I won't need her. Oh, and you might want this." Tweaker tossed the stocky, bent-wand shape of his phaser to Harpo. "It's an energy weapon with a few settings that are very useful against Wraiths. Don't let Kamui get hurt, Harpo." I'm one to talk...

David slowed down to an open area and de-cloaked him and Kamui.EXe. He put Kamui down.
"Are you sure this is the spot?" Kamui.EXE asks.
David nods. David speaks out to the rest of the open space as though the openspace itself were another program.
<< Alright, Korri! I know you're here! If you want me, come and get me!>> David yells.
At first there was silence. Then Kamui.EXe started to detect some movement. Then, there was a voice.
[glow=red,2,300]"Kamui..... what a pleasent supprise.... I thought you had enough of following me considering my state now...."[/glow] says Korri.
"Yeah. But your state is still causing trouble!" kamui.EXE growls.
[glow=red,2,300] "We'll see about that!" [/glow] says Korri.
She charges after David.

I ran over to the helpless Wraith and spoke to her. "Well. As much as it disgusts me, it looks like I'll be working with you." the Wraith leered at me. "Why would I, program?" I sighed. "First, the name is Harpo989. Second, if you don't help me-" "wait." the Wraith interrupted me. "You're... you're the Datawraith roadie!" Wait... it's... Jill? "You're Datawraith 24... 'Jill'." I said. She gave me a evil smile and spoke. "So... the little roadie's all on hs own now. how's it working for you, little roadie?" I fumed, and pushed my mesh against the Datawraith's face. "You. will. help. me." "Fine." She said. "Let's go help your little ladyfriend." I started to squeeze the trigger on my Mesh, then calmed down and lowered my mesh. then I released the x - y - z hold and motioned the way Kamui had run. "Let's move, Wraith." "you got it, roadie."

David started to change shape in to Korri's origional shape. Kamui.EXE steps in to her stance.
"David....." She whispers.
[glow=red,2,300]"David is gone now! I'm Korruptika.EXE!"[/glow] says Korri.
"You were also a friend to Yori before all this happened," kamui.EXE says.
[glow=red,2,300]"That's ancient history! You know that! Now you shall be DEREZZED!"[/glow] says Korri as she charges after Kamui.EXE.
Kamui.EXE rezzes up her Data_Katana and perpared for the charcge.
