There has to be another place to house beings of code that committed crimes. After all, Computer Hell is for the worst of the worse. Stuck there for the rest of time, or at least until they're no longer a threat. But what of those that have done horrible things, but not enough to go to Computer Hell?
The Containment Zone.
Governened by its Admins, Warden and Supervisor, it's a large zone where Programs and Viruses are housed until it's decided they're no longer a threat. Well.. Programs get released, and sentient Viruses can be released (if they reformed). Others.. are typically dealt with.
It's a large world, designed like a typically prison, albeit with a bit more color. Typically, it was peaceful. However..
"Get BACK here!"
A Virus and a Program, both humanoid, shriek with fear as they round a corner and run as fast as they can. An orange whip shoots out and slams against the wall, cracking it immensely.
"I thought you said he wasn't in this block, Lockdown!" the Program curses, turning her head to look at the virus. Her checkerboard-like design dimming and brightening from the above lights.
"I dunno what you want from me, Cipher!" Lockdown hisses, shaking his head. He had a more consistent prison outfit, though there were chains around his wrists and neck. "He's a weirdo!"
"Well, do something!!"
"I'm thinking!" Lockdown stresses, looking around. "I remember there being a switch around here.."
He gasps, spotting it. "There it is!"
Rushing forward, he slams his fist against it, causing machinery and code behind them to whir to life. The duo ran ahead a bit more before turning around, seeing large metal doors closing.
It was just in time as well, as their pursuer was quickly locked out and away from them.
"Alright!" The duo cheer, high-fiving.
Their victory was short-lived, however, as a sound of something hitting against the metal rang out. The two turn their heads, eyes slowly widening as the metal of the door began to crack before being punched through.
A blue gloved hand was now visible, and it grips the cracked edge of the door before it was pried open, the metal screeching against the floor. Once the doors were forced open, there stood Warden, one of the two Admins of the Containment Zone. He was panting with rage, eyes burning with fury as he glared at the two escapees.
"Help.." the two mutter, already knowing full well that they weren't getting out this time.
The two scream in fear as they run off, narrowly avoiding Warden's whip as he lashes it at them. "Stop, damn you!"
From above, on a catwalk, Supervisor hums a merry tune as she holds a chain, keeping another Program and Virus in check. "You two sure got far this round!" She chirps. "But Dust, Chainlink, didn't you know that C Block was under construction?"
Dust, the Virus, who was humanoid with bunny ears and a tail, grumbles. "No. We didn't."
Chainlink, the Program, who was humanoid with deer horns that had chains hanging from them, sighs. "Would've been nice if you told us, sunshine."
"But then that wouldn't make our games fun!" Supervisor pouts. She presses a finger to her lips as she does. "Plus, Warden would be so upset if I told you guys all that stuff."
"Where are your Moderators?" Dust quickly changes the subject. "Usually they handle bringing us back."
"Warden was reeeeeally peeved this time." Supervisor shrugs. "So he wanted us to come and catch you guys."
Chainlink blinks, her eyebrows furrowing. "Wait.. so.. if you have Dust and I. Then.. that means.."
"Oh! There they are!" the Admin giggles as she stops, looking over the railing of the catwalk. The two prisoners also peer over, just in time to see Warden's whip crack against Cipher and Lockdown's backs, sending them to the floor.
Dust sucks in some breath between his teeth. He'd never been hit by Warden's whip, as Supervisor was always the one chasing him, and seeing how his friends were writhing around in pain, he'd rather not anytime soon.
"Okay, back to your cell!" Supervisor chirps as she continues walking, tugging the duo with her.
"MY BAAACK.."
"Get up, you idiots! It's a solitary confinment for a week for this new stunt!"
"Supervisor, thank you for being the one to always chase us." Dust and Chainlink both say quickly whilst sweating immensely, making the Admin giggle more.
"You're welcome~!"
