 Ron tries to impress his new girlfriend, Zita, by pretending to be good at an on-line adventure game, Everlot. While boasting of his fictional talents, he raises the anger of another boy, Malcolm, who secretly longs for Zita. That night, Ron tries to meet with Zita in Everlot, but keeps getting killed. He enlists Wade, who helps Ron get vital objects in the game. He meets Zita and helps free her from a trap she d been in. But then the Black Knight comes to stop them, but they get away. The next day, Zita gets a text message about a meeting of Everlot players downtown. She and Ron go, but only find a nearly-empty warehouse with two chairs. The chairs are a trap, which capture them and link their minds directly into the game of Everlot. Rufus is alarmed, and goes to Kim for help. Meanwhile, Ron and Zita are fighting the Black Knight in Everlot, when Ron figures out that the knight is Malcolm. Malcolm offers Zita freedom if she ll share her accumulated powers and become queen of Everlot with him. She declines, also declining a date in the real world. Back in the real world, Kim figures out what has happened and joins Wade in Everlot (via computer). (Kim - being a newcomer - is a virtual spritekin (small fairy).) They track down Malcolm, who has captured every other player in Everlot and has become very powerful. They themselves are captured, and all seems lost until a long-lost warrior returns to the game - The Tunnel Lord, who is played by none other than Rufus. While Rufus and Malcolm battle, Ron gets an idea. He tells the other players to forfeit their powers to Zita. Zita s computer-self grows massive, and becomes powerful enough to defeat Malcolm. With the Black Knight defeated, the game ends and all the virtual players exit the game. All except Ron, who take a minute to proclaim a "Boo ya!" with a sword in his hand.
