[The net, like at the start of Reboot.]

Ranma V.O: I come from the net, through systems, peoples...

[View dives into a node]

Ranma V.O: ... to this place ...

[We see Mainframe from above]

Ranma V.O: ... Main Frame. 

[Ranma steps out of reflective sphere. His skin is blue, his hair has a 
metallic sheen, and he's wearing a Guardian uniform. His icon is on his right 
breast. Kasumi steps into the shot her skin is green, her hair has a metallic 
sheen. Her clothes are a dark red and she's carrying a broom.]

Ranma V.O: My format, Guardian, to mend and defend ...

[Ranma is using Glitch to mend a tear, beside him stands Akane, green skin 
metallic sheen. Her icon sits like a medallion.]

Ranma V.O: ... to defend my new found friends ...

[Akane malleting Ranma while Shampoo looks on.]

Ranma V.O: ... their hopes and dreams ...

[Nabiki is vehemently talking to Shampoo. A monitor with arms is hanging from 
a rail on the ceiling. Nabiki is green, hair has the sheen, she wears her 
icon as an arm patch. Shampoo is blue, her purple hair has a metallic sheen 
and there is no sign of an icon. The monitor is wearing a pair of thick 
glasses, and has Mousse written on the case under the screen.]

Ranma V.O: ... to defend them from ...

[Ranma, Akane and Shampoo, in body armour, firing guns off screen.]

Ranma V.O: ... their enemies.

[Kuno swings his glowing sword. He's dark blue, a little bulkier than normal 
and his face is a little more demonic. The virus logo is imprinted on his 
front.]

[A figure in a full body black leotard, wearing a pantomime mask, flicks a 
ribbon like a whip, then laughs.]

[In the air over mainframe. A bunch of Viral APC fly past, chased by the 
system defence flying cop cars. Moments later a larger ship (which looks kind 
of like Vertigo 1 from Descent) shots past. Ukyo, in the cockpit, gives the 
camera the thumbs up and bares her fangs in a smile. She's purple, with the 
metallic sheen, no sign of icon.]

[Kuno catches Akane, who is falling from the sky.]

[Shampoo smashes a bunch of virals.]

[A field, explosions in the sky. Ranma and Shampoo dash across, the user 
close behind. The user throws a grenade which explodes near the fleeing 
sprites. From out of the explosion Ranma-chan comes flying, a small cat 
attached to her head, running wildly.]

[View looking up at a building in mainframe. The sky terms a dark purple. 
Binomes run past, panicking. Shot changes just to the purple sky. A round 
hole appears in the sky and a purple cube drops out, falling towards the 
ground.]

[Ranma, Akane and Shampoo against the purple game cube background.]

Ranma: Some say the user lives out the net, inputting games for 
	fun. No one knows for sure but  I intend to find out.

[Ranma and Akane tap their icons, Shampoo taps her belt on the side.]

Ranma, Akane, Shampoo: Reboot!

[The three are consumed in a flash of light. The reboot symbol, (a circle, 
half yellow, half black, with a inverting diamond on it) slams down and the 
words Wild Boot appear on the symbol.]

Like the idea?

I hope it hasn't been done yet (but I'm going to do it anyway.) I plan to 
take plots from both stories and create my own. These are just the characters 
that are present in Mainframe at the beginning, I do plan to add some of the 
others, so don't complain if your favourite (from either side) isn't there. 
Right at the moment this is at the conceptual stage.

My biggest problem is coming up with ideas on how to activate the curses (I 
have a reason for them), water just isn't prevealant in Mainframe. Any ideas 
would be helpful.
