Hacker Baron

Epilogue

Chixie's week at Kadic had run out. So she took all her study stuff and Draco with her. But just before they left, Chip instructed how to use the Reality Rewriting program. "You type a description of the reality you want to create and press 'enter.' Anything that you don't type about won't change. For example, if you type that Kiwi was a pumpkin but you don't make any difference about Jim's clothes, the clothes won't change. Only the people present at the activation of the program will notice the difference. Anyone else would be because of a glitch in the program. Curiously enough, the reality you write will be saved like a save file on a video game to be accessed. So you could probably switch the reality back to the one we were recently in but I don't know why you would want to do that. Also for some reason, the Reality Rewriting program has an opposite effect on the supercomputer that the Return to the Past program. It will cause the supercomputer to become weaker. But don't use the Reality Rewriting program too much or the computer will crash. Here's our e-mail address if you need any more help." With that the trio of experiments left went through the portal to the Chateau, leaving France behind.

Meanwhile, Virustocron was brooding in a place where machines were a large part of the community, where everything was filthy, stinky, and polluted. It was Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Virustocron was hiding in a steel factory. "I had the perfect plans for taking over the world! And I would have gotten away with it too, if weren't for those meddling kids and those troublesome experiments. Actually Experiment 629 is the main reason of my failure! No, not 6-2-9, Chip! My plans were spoiled because of him. He's the biggest threat. I'll have to do away with him and his experiment friends, Draco and Morph!" Then a voice like hissing steam came out of nowhere. "I sssee that you alssso are getting trouble from thossse blasssted experimentsss. Tell me, which one wasss the mossst troublesssome again?" "It was from Chip, that miserable cyborg humiliated me in public and severely weakened me." This voice responded again, "For me, it'sss Draco. That ssstupid dragon got me fired from two comfy jobsss already and keepsss ruining my plansss for the world." "What are you plans for the world?" asked Virustocron. "I plan to pollute the Earth until it'sss uninhabitable for any living being. One of my main targetsss isss the rainforessst. The treesss sssuck up my carbon dioxide and replacccesss it with grosss oxygen." Virustocron smiled and said, "My plans for the world are almost the same. I plan to delete all organic life and replace them with machines." The voice said, "I think we ssshould work together. What isss your name?" "My name is Virustocron the Hacker Baron. What is your name?" A black smoke cloud drifted down from the rafters. It took on the form of a winged hydra with clawed arms and a spear-tail. Most of its heads were like small black snakes with red eyes. But one head was bigger than the others and had a longer neck and devil's horns. "The name'sss Toxico, Piton Toxico." For most of the day, the workers in the factory claimed to have heard evil laughter around the factory. Some of that laughter was hissing, whi1e some was monotonic and mechanical.
