=== Season 2 === The second season was initially as episodic as the first but later featured an extended [[story arc]] that began with the season's fifth episode, "Painted Windows". The arc revealed that [[List of ReBoot characters|Hexadecimal]] and Megabyte are siblings, and introduced an external threat to Mainframe: the [[World Wide Web|Web]], which was set up in fearful mentions in "High Code" and "Painted Windows". The sixth episode, "AndrAIa", also saw a new character in the titular AndrAIa join the cast. Creator Gavin Blair has said the move to a longer arc came from "shrugging off the shackles of ABC and their BS&P" after being cancelled.<ref name="sittingonanatomicbomb.com">{{cite web | url = http://sittingonanatomicbomb.com/2010/09/27/interview-with-reboot-co-creator-gavin-blair/ | publisher=SittingOnAnAtomicBomb.com| title=Interview with 'ReBoot' Co-creator Gavin Blair | date=September 27, 2010 | access-date=July 25, 2015 | archive-date= July 25, 2015 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20150725224357/http://sittingonanatomicbomb.com/2010/09/27/interview-with-reboot-co-creator-gavin-blair/ | url-status=usurped}}</ref> The last episode would reveal Megabyte's ships were called ABCs. [[File:Glitch - Guardian Bob's Keytool.jpg|alt=The original version of Glitch|thumb|Glitch - Guardian Bob's keytool]] A creature from the Web entered Mainframe from Hexadecimal's looking glass (which was shattered by Mike the TV), bonding with her. Mainframe's nulls reacted spontaneously and covered her to form a monster named Nullzilla, which was defeated and neutralized by the protectors of Mainframe. The Web creature located Megabyte, took him over and forced him to merge with Hexadecimal, forming a next-gen super-virus called Gigabyte. Gigabyte was eventually neutralized as well, but the Web creature escaped into the bowels of Mainframe, where it began stealing energy to stay alive and grow. Mouse, a mercenary and old friend of Bob's, helped to find the Web Creature, but was almost destroyed by a bomb set by her employer, Turbo. The explosion created a "tear" (an unstable energy-based anomaly) which the Web creature used to create a portal to the Web. The protectors of Mainframe had to team up with Megabyte and Hexadecimal to close the portal. An army of CPU police clashed with an invasion of creatures from the Web. In the midst of the chaos, Megabyte betrayed the alliance (with the CPUs calling the ABCs "treacherous dogs!"), crushing Bob's keytool, Glitch, and sending him into the Web portal before closing it.
