Seven students were in a chat. This was no real chat, or even a phone chat. This was a virtual chat, and these students were enrolled in an online school. They had never even seen each other, and were still having a pleasant conversation. At any rate, let it suffice for us to say that seven students were in an instant message. We don’t know what they were talking about, or even who they were. All this has been lost to us. Well, these students, whoever they may have been, were just innocently chatting. It never occurred to them that seven might be an unlucky number online, or that there are some things may be dangerous when chatting in an unlucky number. | Seven students were in a chat.

Presently, one had to go. This particular student had a computer programming class, and should have been working on it, but wasn’t for some reason. Nobody knew about [[Porkypines]] back then, see. Well, he had to leave the chat, and everyone else started saying goodbye. No GTGs and BRBs back then, everyone used full words. | Presently, one had to go. This particular student had a computer programming class, and should have been working on it, but wasn’t for some reason. Nobody knew about [[Porkypines]] back then, see. Well, he had to leave the chat, and everyone else started saying goodbye. No GTGs and BRBs back then, everyone used full words. Look at your keyboard. Note the key right above the o. It’s 0, that desperate of numerals, the number which means everything and nothing at the same time. Well, back then he was still just a keyboard button, and a very evil one at that. One of the students, when saying goodbye, hit the 0 key instead of the o. Now, 0 is safe enough when used in a number, and fairly safe when used once in a word, but being used twice in a word can have very grave results. Grave enough that I shall split the word for safety. This Student typed g0 0dbye instead of goodbye, minus the space. Maybe nothing would have come of it. Maybe 0 might have missed the opportunity. However, the message was sent at the exact millisecond that the other student left the chat. By leaving the chat, this other student had created a gap milliseconds wide for something else to take his place. Aye, something else. And when another student had used a double 0 at the same time, 0 had the perfect chance. | ||
Nobody in that chat was ever seen again. | Nobody in that chat was ever seen again. | ||

Then the golden age of organizations ended, and the age of innovation began. 990 ceased to exist, and the SMG’s technology was given to the former leader, who rarely tested or used it. Soon after, [[Joshua Grift]] invented the mega mass chat, which cut down on 88% of lag. Zer0’s energy supplies were crippled, and his plans gone awry. | Then the golden age of organizations ended, and the age of innovation began. 990 ceased to exist, and the SMG’s technology was given to the former leader, who rarely tested or used it.

Desperate, Zer0 risked everything and attempted to destroy the diamonds! His power, however, was still not strong enough, and he was not able to destroy them. Zer0 did the next best thing: He hid them, all throughout Cyberspace! Their power was only strong if they were together, and isolated from each other they have little power to stop Zer0. | Desperate, Zer0 risked everything and attempted to destroy the diamonds!

Their power was only strong if they were together, and isolated from each other they have little power to stop Zer0. We have now arrived in the present day(or at least the present day of this writing). New and unusual things are happening: [[Mega Mass]] has started receiving Lag. Some chats compress themselves against the side and are unreadable. Some people are not on the who’s online list, while others appear multiple times. The tech-minded students have many explanations for all this. It’s a glitch, it’s the teachers, it’s a temporary problem. One student has even claimed to be able to summon Zer0 at will, proving it is a controllable glitch. But I, and now you, know the real truth. Zer0 is at large, seeking that elusive seventh student so he can have his full power. The evil number that means nothing yet everything. He cannot, must not gain his full power. Only you can stop him. | ||
