ReBoot: The Guardian Code

It's time to strike.

Attack. Disrupt. Destroy.

All technology, computers, games, cameras, phones, they're all targets.

The internet isn't safe.

It's vulnerable.

So are the people who use it every day.

My plan is in motion.

It can't be stopped.

I won't be stopped.

And humanity has no idea what's coming.

Summer is officially over, Armstrong.

And winter can't come soon enough.

Alan Turing High.

Only the most tech-progressive school in the city.

Am I happy to be here?

We'll see.

Change can be good, right?

Or maybe today will rank way up there on the Lame-O-Meter.

Stay tuned. Tamra says out.

This is my house now.

Yes.

Still top ranking.

It's you!

TamraSez!

You go to my school? This school?

Uh, yes. Just transferred here.

Wow, this is so random but at the same time so perfect, you know?

I'm Cherie.

I've been following your vlog for, like, ever.

You are my absolute hero!

It's just me talking about stuff. I'm not really doing anything heroic.

You know what I loved? Your post about the first day of school.

I watched it, like, five times.

How is that even possible? I just uploaded it.

I know! Lame-O-Meter? You are so funny.

This is gonna be such a good year.

Selfie!

Ha!

Austin, where have you been? The bell's about to ring.

Relax, Parker.

Nothing happens on the first day of school.

This is Alan Turing High.

I bet we start coding, designing tech right away.

Today's gonna be amazing. I can feel it.

You know what I feel?

-Pressure. -Why?

Why do you think?

Because your dad taught here?

Uh, yeah.

Everybody's gonna expect me to be smart.

Like him.

Like you.

You're smart, Austin.

-In your own way. -Gee, thanks, buddy.

There. A fabric of cyber space.

It's weak.

Ah, that's the spot. Easy to tear.

Tear a hole, an opening.

A rift.

Yes.

Yes, good.

The beginning is now. This is where it starts.

Plague.

Hungry cyber locusts.

They will consume everything in their path.

Dark code detected.

Commencing ReBoot program.

Activating next generation guardians.

-Room zero. -Room zero?

Our homeroom is in the basement?

That's what the map says.

Hey.

You looking for room zero?

Yeah, but there is nothing here.

Am I late?

Is this room zero?

It's supposed to be.

I've never heard of a school having a room zero before.

Well, if you look at it from a binary perspective,

most room numbers contain at least one--

Parker.

You two know each other?

Unfortunately.

I'm Austin and this is Parker.

Trey. Nice to meet you.

I'm Tamra.

So, should we just report to the office?

Wait. Look at your phones.

We're not there yet. It's over here.

Parker, there's no room here. It's just a--

What?

Austin?

Austin?

That doesn't make sense.

Where did he go?

I guess it's our turn?

Whoa.

What is this place?

Look at all this tech.

This is officially the strangest first day of school ever.

Yeah, no kidding.

Look, look.

It's the ReBoot logo from the Cyber Guardian game.

Cyber Guardians?

Maybe we get our own special homeroom, because we're unbeatable in the game.

Maybe.

Excuse me, but my team's unbeatable.

No, my team holds the top ranking.

No.

Me and Austin and our two friends,

well, not exactly friends because we've never met them for real.

We know them by their gamer names:

D-Frag and Enigma but we have the highest--

Googz.

You've gotta be Googz.

Enigma.

Let me guess.

D-Frag?

Vector.

Yeah.

Okay, so this must have something to do with the game.

There's gotta be some way to log in.

Cool!

Hey, quit touching stuff.

Whoa.

What is that?

Hey, those are our Cyber Guardian avatars.

I knew this school was gonna be cool, but this is incredible.

Whoa.

What just happened?

I don't know.

But this might be the best virtual reality experience ever.

Oh man, that does not feel good.

Who'd have thought you'd be the wimp of the group?

Shut it, Vector.

Guardians.

Your mission has commenced.

Follow me.

Wait.

Who are you?

I am the virtual evolutionary recombinant avatar.

V.E.R.A.

Can we call you Vera for short?

That would be appropriate.

She said follow her.

Open world. Sweet.

This is the Codec.

We get a ship.

Bonus.

It is your command post and your transfer station.

Uh, I'm not too crazy about that transfer part.

Wimp.

Initiating gateway access.

Hey!

What the-

Whoa!

Ugh, I think I'm gonna puke!

Whoa!

Whoo-hoo!

Phew!

Whoa, what is this place?

It is an electrical power plant under attack by dark code cyber locusts.

Whoa.

Ugh, nasty.

Everything's in place.

The cyber locusts are destroying the power grid.

It's time to send humanity back to the dark ages.

In three... two... one.

Massive power outages swept through the United Kingdom.

The cause is unknown.

Perfect.

My plan is working.

Guardians, your mission is to destroy the dark code cyber locusts.

Enigma, Googz, D-Frag, we got this.

Absolutely.
