[No one's POV]
Hidden away inside a computer exists another World. Its creator designed it for gaming and interaction with the programs around the user, But...it became so much more. Kevin Flynn..a very gifted computer programmer who, in 1982, created some best-selling video games for ENCOM which included Space Paranoids, Matrix Blaster, Vice Squad, and Light Cycles.

And Y/n L/n, a 25 year old employee who is an expert gaming engineer and animator. He was known for working alongside Flynn for the smooth edited graphics of the games.

He even created software latches that prevent lag from any of the games, so they run very smoothly to the camera pleasure. However, their accomplishments gained some thorns when a competing ENCOM programmer named Ed Dillinger learned what Flynn was doing and stole Flynn's games.

Three months later, Dillinger unveiled the games to the company without even bothering to change the names. Dillinger was quickly promoted, eventually rising to senior executive VP. When Flynn protested about his stolen, Dillinger retaliated by proclaiming that Flynn was jealous by the amount of work that "he" put through. The ENROM staff all sided with the lying bastard, leaving Y/n and Flynn pissed. The next following month and a half as Flynn is dealing with his loss, Dillenger came into his office with a smug ass look and told him that he was fired.

When y/n saw and heard what happened to Flynn, he was outraged and distanced himself from his fellow employees. Many would try to talk or work with him, but he shifted them away. Dillinger knew of the graphic talents y/n had from the games and was amazed by the graphic design from the young man and went towards his office.

[Y/n's POV]
That bastard!! I can't believe he fired Flynn and banned him from ever stepping in ENCOM. This company will go completely downhill with that man in charge. Thered no way in hell I am working for him. It's a good thing i wrote a resignation letter in case of situations like this. Right now, I am packing all my work, my laptop, my own games i made. Luckily, I didn't upload them yet..And I transferred every ounce of my files from the company computer into my 258gb flashdrive.

Y/n: *sighs* What can i do?

In the midst of my packing, i heard my cellphone ringing. I picked it up and looked surprised to see Kevin contacting me. I immediately answered..

Kevin: *phone* Hey there, y/n.

Y/n: Hey, Kevin. I never thought I hear from you again.

Kevin: Yeah. Sorry for ghosting you. But I was busy creating my own thing.

Y/n: Oh. And what's that?

Kevin: I created my own Business called "Flynn's Arcade"

Y/n: Flynn's Acade?

Kevin: My own form of fun gaming business. I hit Alan here who stood by my side along with you and I was wondering.. if you like to come work with me.

Y/n: Well..

???: Mr. L/n.

I looked up from my phone call to see the bastard that took away my friends job..Dillinger. He walked in wha will soon to be my former office.

Dillinger: *false smile* Hello, y/n.

Y/n: *to the phone* Hold on one moment. *places phone down and stares at the CEO with malice* Ok, what precisely do you want?

Dillinger: Hey, hey..I'm just trying to have a responsible conversation.

Y/n:....

Dillinger: Ok. Anyway's, you are hereby being called to a meeting with myself and the staff.

Y/n: And why would i do that?

Dillenger: Because I am your superior and you are an employee in this company.

Y/n: Actually..that's where your wrong.

Dillinger: Oh?

Y/n: Ok. With every belonging i have packed, i believe there is one thing I can give you.

I shoved my resignation paper directly onto his face. His angrily grabbed the paper and read through it all. His face showed surprise and anger..

Dillinger: T-this is unacceptable!! You cannot leave this company. You are our greatest asset!

Y/n: That is true. My digital talents are unlike anything out of this world, But what you did to my friend..it not worth working in a damn company that's run by you. Unless something changes that'll make me stay..I'm out of here.

I picked up my stuff, placed my flash drive in my pocket and walked out my door..shoving Dillinger out of the well..

Dillinger: You're gonna regret this!!

All I did was give him the finger as I walked out of Encom and to my car.

I stored my stuff into the backseat and closed the door.

Y/n: Ok.

I headed to the drivers seat and was open the door..

???: Wait!!

Until a voice rang out. I turned around to see a colleague of mine running towards me: Cora Skye.

Narrator: She is a 23 year old woman who was Y/n's childhood friend throughout his life. She also had a major crush on him and was very close to him, but couldn't muster the courage to tell him her true feelings. Dillinger took noticed of this and threatened her and her homelife if she didn't agree to go along with him being executive VP.

Cora: *teary eyes* Y/n!! What are you doing?! You can't leave me!!

Y/n: Cora, you should know exactly why I can't work for Dillinger. And you sided with him that caused Kevin to be fired.

Cora: *sniffles* I know, I know..but Dillinger gave me no other choice.

Y/n: I'm sorry Cora..but I have to do this.

I then started my car with my keys and was about to get inside, but Cora grabbed my arm..

Y/n: Cora. I told you I ca-

I was then turned around, only to have a pair of lips pressed on mine. I saw that Cora was kissing me, giving me more surprise than i prepared for. A few seconds later, she parted.

Y/n: Cora..

Cora: I'm sorry. But i couldn't find words on how to tell you my feelings.

Y/n: You were in love with me?

Cora: *hugs me* I've always have since highschool.

Y/n: Man. And I cant believe i ignored them. *hugs her back* I am sorry for that.

Cora: *smiles warmly* It's ok.

Y/n: So..does it means that I am your boyfriend?

Cora: *gasps softly* Really? You want to become my boyfriend??

Y/n: Well..if you'll take me that is.

Instead of replying, Cora jumped onto him, wrapping her arms and  legs around and gave a multitude of kisses. Y/n decided to kiss back and pull her closer, some back and slithers his right arm to her skirt and gave her bottom a squeeze..

Cora: *moans* You perv~

Y/n: Why dont you come work alongside me and Kevin?

Cora: Would he accept me?

Y/n: You been friends with me almost as long as i have. Of course he would.

Cora thought long and hard before coming up with answer. She looked into my eyes and said:

Cora: Yes. I will go with you.

Y/n: Let's get you into the passengers seat and get driving.

I guided her to the other seat and opened the door for her to enter, which she indeed do. I got into the drivers seat, closed the door and started the engine.

Y/n: Fasten your seatbelt.

Cora buckled in as I did as well, before I pressed into the pedal and drove off from the company.

[Timeskip]
After 24 minutes of driving, we made it to the business that Kevin told me about.

Y/n: Looks like the place..

I parked the car to a nearby curb and turned off the car. Me and Cora got of the car and walked towards the arcade..

???: Hey, y/n.

We both turned to Kevin who came from a back door..

Kevin: I knew you showed up. *sees Cora* And you brought..her?

Cora: hey..Kevin.

Kevin: It's nice to meet a familar face.

Cora: *blinks twice* Youre..you're not mad at me?

Kevin: I saw from the look on your face that you were forced to do that from Ed, so theres no reason to blame you.

Cora: *feels delighted, while holding y/n's hand* O-ok.

Kevin: So..*claps his hand* Let's go inside.

[No one's POV]
As the trio went inside the backdoor, they went up a balcony overlooking many people enjoying themselves playing various Arcade games.

Y/n: That is a lot of people.

Kevin: Yeah. That what happens when you are successful. Come. I'll show you where you two can do.

Kevin then led the two onto a secret room upstairs where most of his work is conducted.

[In a virtual world]
The Grid 2.0..a digital utopia filled with infinite possibilities. It was made by Kevin Flynn to provide an experimental platform where all forms of research could be carried out at unparalleled speeds. He built a digital copy of himself that he nicknamed Clu(short for Codified Likeness Utility).

He helped create the perfect system. And he relied on the likeness of Alan Bradley as a self-monitoring security program called Tron to keep it free for all programs who lived there.

But..unknown to any of them, a new danger it's coming.
