Megabyte’s hunt is quickly seized by prime guardian Turbo, who swiftly leads an entire fleet of reinforcements from the super computer into Mainframe, disregarding Bob’s decision to isolate the issue to their principal office alone.

The trojan is contained for good this time. With immediate deletion out of the question, Megabyte is sentenced to a process of reformatting through antiviral PID code injection, followed by file indexing.

Once the reformat process is successfully initialized, Megabyte manages to use his dying viral charge one last time to violently unshackle himself from the processing chamber, reaching and dealing a non lethal viral charge to the nearby Turbo, who at the time was conducting and overseeing the process. The viral attack does little to the guardian, but triggers a security detachment of his keytool Copeland, which Megabyte quickly crushes and steals before finally escaping.

As the reformat quickly turns him into a sprite and into the main protagonist, Megabyte hides on the Net, living the life of a fugitive criminal with viral ideas, and after using his cunning intellect to gain the trust and wisdom of hacking mercenaries, he finally succeeds on cracking Copeland into loyalty.

Armed with the powerful rogue keytool and a trail of followers, Megabyte engages on a search for his former pride and viral powers to no avail, a quest that eventually turns into a journey of self discovery, leading to a final encounter with the user who created him.
