Bibi had spent the entire time trying some way to cut through the chains binding her. She could've used her sword, but Malware Tara had kept it 'in a secret place', so she said.
She looked over at Max. Her blasters had also been kept in the same place.
She had tried biting, hitting and tugging. Nothing had worked.
Another blue glow appeared next to her. It was only when she realised that 8-Bit was sitting beside her, his chain attached to his back like glue.
He sat sadly, still in pain from his severed joints. Bibi felt guilty. It was her fault for mistaking him for a V-Bit.
She patted his head."Sorry, 8-Bit,"Bibi mumbled.
"It's ok,"8-Bit sighed. "Actually, I'm not 8-Bit."
Bibi flinched."Wait, then what is your real name?"
"Full name: Mini 8-Bit #419. I am a soldier, a substitute for the antivirus police. There are 1000 Mini 8-Bits in our army."
"But they're all dead,"Max said, having heard the conversation.
Mini 8-Bit #419 replied,"Yes. But it's fine. They all respawn at base point and continue--
Max interrupted."Wait, what? You can respawn?"
"Oh...well...yes?"
"Mini 8-Bit, come here."
Mini 8-Bit moved closer to her.
"Forgive me for doing this, but call your army to come and help defeat this virus."
"Wait, wha--"
Max lifted her fist and smashed through Mini 8-Bit's screen. Shards of glass fell from his screen. The arcade machine's wiring sputtered with electricity and died. The dead Mini 8-Bit slunk down on the hard ground.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Bibi whisper-screamed. "He was technically a nice guy! He deserved a better death--"
Max shushed her, shaking her hands to remove the sharp bits. "Don't worry, he'll come soon. He can respawn. I told him to bring his army over. As long as they want the virus dead,they will come."
Their discussion was interrupted by a scream of success.
"AT LAST! THESE SYSTEMS ARE FINALLY MINE!"Malware Tara screeched and cackled.
Bibi gasped,"She did it?!"
Max gulped."Uh oh."
The screen showed Frank in Jessie's room.
"What's Frank doing there?"Bibi whispered.
"I'm thinking the same,"Max whispered back.
Malware Tara seemed more pleased than confused."Ah, an enemy! Let's put this body in use!"
As soon as Malware Tara controlled the robot to move, loud beeping was heard.
She turned the view and saw mines flashing red under her.
"WHAT THE--"
BOOM!
Malware Tara cackled."How foolish! I am literally immortal! Mines can't defe--"
Suddenly, she realised that the machine couldn't move.
"WHAT IS THIS FORM OF MAGIC?!"
"Snare a Bear:Instead of a knockback, my traps now stun the enemy for 2.0 seconds."
Bo's booming voice sent a blast of hope deep into Bibi's soul.
"2.0 seconds? Weak," Malware Tara said in contempt as she could move her controls again.
Before she could control it to lift it's blaster,Frank spun before smashing the ground, stunning the machine.
SLAM!
"REALLY?! AGAIN?!"she screeched so loudly, the room seemed to shake. Her one-eyed monsters slid back into their cracks.
More beeping.
BOOM!
Malware Tara screeched demonically before running towards the cage. She grabbed Bibi by the collar and swung her card, preparing to throw it and end Bibi's life.
"STUN THIS MACHINE ANY MORE AND THIS GIRL WILL GET IT!"
Bibi stayed silent, for she was petrified in fright.

Frank slam hammer. Frank know, is what Jessie told. Frank knew hammer would slow evil robot.
But creepy Tara with dumb legs put card to Bibi, threaten Frank. Frank confused. Frank no know what to do. If Frank slam hammer, Bibi die. Frank no want that.

But Bibi friend.
"Bibi friend."

Frank smile."Frank no stun.Frank make robot fall."
Creepy Tara scream, fall down from fall of machine.
Frank laugh.

Malware Tara had fallen to the ground, smashing against the wall.
The virus had never felt this embarrassed. Never! He felt the need to succeed, and eliminate those in the way.
He had enough time wasted. He had wasted his time with these fools who tried to stop him. HEewhipped around in his human form, clutching his wound in anger and pain.
"ENOUGH!"Malware Tara screeched as she threw her cards towards them. They flew towards Bibi's heart, prepared to end her li--
BAM!
Blaster bullets came from nowhere, deflecting the cards from their main target.
"Player One, Get Ready!"
"Well Done."
"Game, NOT Over."
"New High Score!"
*Jingle noises*
About a thousand 8-Bits stood at the doorway. One had his blaster pointed to the cards. The blaster still had smoke coming from it. He attempted to blow it off, but ended up dropping it.
"Mini 8-Bit #419!" Max screamed happily.
Now the virus was genuinely frustrated. He was surrounded by these people, threatening to end his reign of terror. Worry not, he told himself.
I still have one last ace up my sleeve.
