“I want to know how they survived, what vital information we’re missing. I want them found and brought here as soon as possible, and we’re not going to stop until we figure out what gave them the ability to walk this Earth with the rest of us. I swear it.” -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- They believed it was over. That their lives could return to normal at long last. But that’s the thing about the past… it always finds a way to come back and haunt you. Not long after the Cube members return to Earth for the second time, problems begin to arise once more. Upon discovering codes mixed in with human DNA, Pixel’s creators are on the hunt for the ‘Artificial Intelligences’ that they sealed long ago, wanting to capture what they believe to be theirs; putting the life of the friend that just returned to the group at risk. And the scientists will use any means to retrieve what they’re searching for. Struggling to keep their past a mystery and Grape’s secret safe, the Cube members barely register when their own powers start going haywire, endangering the alibi they’ve been working so hard to construct. Slowly, they find themselves being torn apart, all the while trying desperately to put their experiences in Pixel behind them. But there’s a greater force at work; and it’s content to simply wait, biding its time until it’s all that’s left…

“Remember, brother, how it always ends. I will not allow you to permanently harm those humans, and you know it deep within you. So move forward with caution. There are secrets that even you don’t know.” ----------------------------------------------------- Three months have passed since the Cube members escaped Pixel with their lives. All except for one. Just when they thought they were free of their burden, a new evil rises from its sleep: Nano. The most powerful and cunning virus to ever exist. And now that he’s awake, he seeks revenge against those who escaped him. When two of their own go missing, the Cube members are thrown back into the world of Pixel in the hopes of rescuing their friends and defeating the virus. Throughout their quest, they receive assistance from antivirus and brother of Nano, Alpha, who appears to be hiding secrets of his own. With unique new abilities and a capable antivirus on their side, the Cube members are all that stands between Nano and world conquest. But the virus has plans, and there is some knowledge that is better left unshared… ------------------------ 1st Place - Best Sequel - 2nd Cube Fic Awards ( 7-24-15 ) 1st Place - Best Villian ( Nano ) - 2nd Cube Fic Awards ( 7-24-15 ) 1st Place - Best Female Character ( Ash ) - 2nd Cube Fic Awards ( 7-24-15 ) 1st Place - Best Writing - 2nd Cube Fic Awards ( 7-24-15 )

“Pixel is the ultimate project, and now it’s finished. Once it is released to the public, it will revolutionize the world of gaming. Nothing will ever be the same.” -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- It took the scientists of the world twenty years to perfect the art of virtualization. Now, with it finally complete, it is ready to release to gamers all over the world. Introducing Pixel, the program that can literally send you into the game itself. Upon its worldwide debut, only a few select groups of gamers are chosen to receive the first few servers. One group is the members of the Cube, seeking a new experience for both themselves and their fans on YouTube. They go in expecting to film a simple episode. What they don’t expect is the inability to get back to the real world. Trapped within Minecraft with only each other and their survival knowledge, the Cube YouTubers seek a way home. Among the chaos, they run into a mysterious girl, the only other human in the game. She can’t remember a thing about herself or her past… but she knows everything about virtualization and how it works. But it turns out virtualization comes at a price that none of them imagined. Welcome to Pixel. ----------------------------------------------- 1st Place - Most Shocking Ending - CubeFicAwards (3/1/15) Tied for 1st Place - Best Writing - CubeFicAwards (3/1/15)
