Phong: You will never win, virus.
Megabyte: Really? And just who will stop me? Bob? Or Ms. Matrix's pathetic band of rebels?- Megabyte attempts to do this in response Matrix's speech about how Mainframe will always endure. It's an epic effort... until Mouse gives him one last double cross:
Megabyte, near an escape portal: No... you remember, boy: how I turned defeat into victory! How I left you with a dying system....Mouse, observing from a distance: Oh, no you don't. One last double cross, sugar? - Super-Strength: Matrix and Megabyte each display this during their fight. When the virus proves he still has an edge in raw might, Matrix relies on sheer grit.
