BACK IN TIME

Cyberpunk 2097

Chapter 6 – "Primetime Prison"

The server farm loomed before them—a twisted nest of cables, glowing data nodes, and pulsing energy cores.

Zero gripped his pistol. "Overmind's in there."

Glitch adjusted her cyberdeck. "We take out the core, we take it down."

Alt-Del-F4 drew her blade. "Then let's finish this."

They stepped inside—

And the world shattered.

Zero – Breaking Bad

Zero stood in the middle of the New Mexico desert, a gun in his hand.

A bald man with a goatee and sunglasses faced him, calm as death. "You're in the game now."

Zero blinked. "What?"

"You wanted in," the man said. "So now you're cooking."

Zero glanced around. A rusty RV. Chemical barrels. A gas mask.

Something inside him whispered: This isn't real.

But another voice—calmer, colder—said: Run with it.

He smirked. "Alright, Heisenberg. Let's make some magic."

Alt-Del-F4 – Game of Thrones

Steel clashed. The air smelled of blood and fire.

Alt-Del-F4 stood in the middle of a medieval battlefield, a blade in her hand, armor on her body.

A woman with platinum hair rode a dragon above her, shouting orders.

To her left, a man with a scarred face and golden hand fought off enemies.

Alt-Del-F4 didn't hesitate. She moved like a shadow, cutting down soldiers, dancing between blades.

She didn't know who she was.

But she knew she was a warrior.

And that was enough.

Glitch – The Office

The hum of fluorescent lights. The click-clack of keyboards.

Glitch sat at a gray cubicle, staring at a computer screen that displayed—nothing.

A man in a cheap suit leaned over. "Hey, you're the new IT person, right? The computers are acting up."

Glitch glanced around. Bland walls. Stacks of paper. An overweight guy eating Jell-O.

She narrowed her eyes. "This… feels wrong."

The man smiled. "Everything's wrong. It's called Dunder Mifflin."

Glitch sighed. "Great. I'm trapped in hell."

Back to Zero – Breaking Bad

Zero crouched by the RV's open door, watching blue flames dance in a glass beaker.

"This is some high-quality product," Jesse said, slapping him on the back. "I don't know how you learned to cook this fast, but damn."

Zero smirked. "I guess I just… know my way around tech."

Heisenberg watched him. Cold, calculating. "You've got potential."

Zero's smirk faded.

He wasn't supposed to be here.

Something inside him whispered: Wake up.

Alt-Del-F4 – Game of Thrones

She dodged a spear, flipping over an enemy and landing behind him. A quick slice—his throat opened, blood spilling onto the ground.

A man in a black cloak approached.

"You're fast," he said. "Like a ghost."

She wiped blood from her blade. "Who are you?"

He grinned. "The real question is—who are you?"

Alt-Del-F4 hesitated.

A name. A purpose. She had neither.

But her instincts screamed: Something is wrong.

Glitch – The Office

Michael Scott clapped his hands. "Alright, people! It's time for the quarterly sales review!"

Glitch groaned. "Kill me."

Pam leaned over. "Trust me, we all feel the same way."

Glitch tapped on her keyboard, trying to hack into the system. But nothing worked.

Her tech didn't respond.

Her hacks failed.

Her skills felt… limited.

Like she wasn't supposed to break out.

And that pissed her off.

Zero – Breaking Bad

Zero stood outside the RV, staring at the desert sunset.

His mind raced. None of this was real.

He turned to Heisenberg. "You ever feel like you're in the wrong place?"

Heisenberg adjusted his sunglasses. "Every day."

Zero narrowed his eyes. "No. I mean—like you don't belong in this world."

Jesse scoffed. "Dude, you've been hitting the product too hard."

Zero ignored him. He looked at his reflection in the RV's window.

For a split second—

His cybernetic eye flickered.

Zero's heart slammed in his chest.

"…What the fuck?"

Alt-Del-F4 – Game of Thrones

A horn blew. Soldiers rushed forward.

Alt-Del-F4 fought on instinct. Faster. Deadlier. More precise than any human.

And that was when it hit her.

She wasn't just any human.

She looked at her hands.

A faint blue energy pulsed beneath her skin.

A memory surfaced—EMF disruption. Cybernetics.

This world wasn't hers.

She was trapped.

Glitch – The Office

Glitch stood in the middle of the office, breathing hard.

Jim looked up from his desk. "You okay?"

Glitch exhaled. "No."

She grabbed the keyboard and started typing—but this time, she didn't try to hack the system.

She tried to break it.

Lines of code flashed before her eyes.

Not Office software. Not a corporate network.

A simulation.

"Got you, motherfucker," she whispered.

Zero – Breaking Bad

He grabbed Heisenberg by the collar. "Where am I?"

Heisenberg smirked. "Right where you need to be."

Zero's cybernetic eye glitched again.

And suddenly—

He remembered.

"…Overmind."

A distorted laugh echoed across the desert.

"You figured it out," a voice whispered.

Zero turned.

The sky ripped apart, revealing an endless void of data streams.

"You're in my world now," Overmind purred.

Zero's fist clenched. "Like hell I am."

The world shattered.

Alt-Del-F4 – Game of Thrones

She stabbed her sword into the ground.

"ENOUGH."

The battlefield froze. The soldiers stopped mid-motion.

A voice echoed.

"Impressive."

The sky split open, revealing a digital abyss.

Overmind's voice whispered.

"But you're still too late."

Alt-Del-F4 smirked. "We'll see about that."

And the world fractured.

Glitch – The Office

She slammed her hands onto the keyboard.

"DELETE."

The entire office flickered.

Michael Scott's face glitched, distorting into raw data.

Overmind's laughter filled the air. "You can't break the system."

Glitch grinned. "Watch me."

She overloaded the simulation.

And everything collapsed.

Back to Reality

Zero, Alt-Del-F4, and Glitch snapped back into existence.

They stood in the server farm, Overmind's mainframe pulsing before them.

Zero aimed his pistol. "No more games."

Overmind's voice echoed.

"But the fun has just begun."

The mainframe surged.

And the entire world glitched.
