Hello and welcome! This is the start of my giant novel,
the Beginnings Saga. This novel is compprised of all five stories in this
saga, with some extra stuff at the end. If this is your first time reading,
let me give you some background. I wrote the first story in this saga,
A Mainframe's Summer Nightmare during the summer of 2001. It's a season
5 fic that features a teenaged Enzo Matrix, as he's about to graduate the
Guardian Academy. All the gang is here, with the new characters of Christopher
"Kit" Lan, who is the son of Bob and Dot and Sabrina Matrix, the daughter
of Matrix and AndrAIa. Also featured is Alexandria Hewlett, who is Enzo's
love interest. In this story, the Matrix brothers face a blast from the
past a an old enemy resurfaces.
In the second story, entitled Bytes
of Passage, Enzo is about to graduate from the Academy and has his 18th
birthday. Featured are the characters from the previous story. In the third
installment, Memories Are Made of This, the Matrix siblings face a apert
of their past they had tried so desperately to hide from others and themselves.
Throw in some bugs and an unruly guardian cadet and the Mainframe Staff
get a lot on their hands. Featured in this story are the return of Mouse
and Ray. Kit and Sabrina are older and have siblings, Jet and Nikki (Kit's
twin siblings) and Chip (Bri's younger brother) And I had to add my two
favorite bots, Hack and Slash. In the fourth installment, is where the
saga gets it's name. The Beginnings Arcs (1-4) are just that. Beginnings.
The first arc explores most of what the series gave us, with some more
insight into specfic things. Season 4 of Reboot had come out while I was
working on Memories, so I decided to at least go with the first movie,
that being Daemon Rising, of the fourth season. That is the only reference
of S4 that I do use.
In the second arc, we get a glimpse
into the beginnings of Kit's life in the Christopher Lan Story (like behind
the music). The third arc is also like this, instead forcusing on the life
of Sabrina, in the Sabrina Matrix Story. The fourth arc takes place shortly
after Memories Are made of This. I got a lot of feedback from people who
wanted to see the return of Bob's father take place after the Matrix had
dealt with their family past. The last storyy for this novel, is the fifth
story, Survival of the Fittest. Newly completed at the time of this intro,
just when the Mainframers thought they could have some peace and quiet,
it's all shattered when Kit is kidnapped from school and forced to partake
in dangerous fighting competition. A new character, though mostly recognized
from his appearance in the third arc, is Roscoe Bettoskin, a friend who
Kit befriends and who has some special feelings towards his cousin.
At the time of this intro (Wednesday
night of Apr. 24th, 2002), a sixth story entitled, Elemental Force, was
pushing its way through my head and on to my computer screen. This story
will deal with the powers of the sprite children in Mainframe as well as
a power hungry virus who wants his mits on it. So far, that's all I got,
but I LOVE feedback and ideas (as most of you know) Anyway, here comes
my thanks: A big wonderful thanks to Julia Cat, with whom's html I used
and edited in order to bring you this. For the unabridge version of the
series, as well as more stories from me and other wonderful writers, visit

who's first two stories inspired Mainframe's Summer Nightmare, and use
of his nightmare is also used. He was also wonderful at helping me in the
third arc of the Beginnings Arcs. Other big thanks goes to my many reviewers

who wrote review after review, gave me ideas for chapters or even stories
and...blah!
This is for you guys.
If you have read this for the billionth time, I have added some deleted/added scenes just for you. Deleted scenes were the ones I wanted to write in to one of the stories and either forgot or didn't think it would fit or thought twice about it. The added scenes where ones I thought would be good at a certain and that had just come to me as I revised the saga. Those little extras are for my many many fans and readers. And no story of mine is complete without the...
Disclaimer: Everybody now! I do not own...not making money...these characters are mine...poor college student...have trouble getting lunch. These stories are in the PG-13 area, even though I'm sure some chapters are very G, others are not. reader discretion is advised.
