It had also been deduced that from the depths of the universe, one dark menace had arrived… an alien virus that had entered cyberspace and had captured and eaten humans…………..who at the time has been connected to the Internet.

Tina,Yo, Giovanni and Greta had caught the virus but Doctor Webstein with his VOP (Virtual Operation Disk) had saved them with the message…… for all players, boys and girls, men and women to help in the battle with the alien invasion… ..the only way is to fight the Monsters in their habitat and save the world…………………….
