His guide, a dizzy blue sphere named WhizzyWig, takes him deep inside the Walled City filled with bustling Bytes going about their business. Dark forces from Karbonon and NetherWorld fight to prevent this merger of life forms. The fates of both worlds are inextricably tied stopping a viral onslaught from NazKlan and the Hacker. With time diminishing and the viral attacks escalating, it is a mad race to save both dimensions from almost certain doom.NetherWorld exists within the web that runs all computers on Karbonon. Bytes, Silicate creatures that perform all the computer tasks, serve the needs of users on Karbonon. This system worked perfectly well until someone created computer viruses, spyware and spam.

NazKlan enlists the Hacker "s help to fulfill his plan to destroy Karbonon. With an army of creatures, NazKlan will stop at nothing to stop Nick from Joining with the Queen.
