Part 1: Blackout
Just when it seemed the everyone was going to settle into their homes, all of the lights go out,all over Station Square. There is a complete blackout. Then things start to take a turn for the weird. Street lights start working, but change so much, that car accidents happen left and right. ATM's begin to spit money out of their machines, everything starts to go haywire, and right now, nothing is safe.

Neo, Zero, Fey, Trinity, Echo, Apollo and Kala all are on the streets when this happened. Looking around in awe of what's going on. "I don't know much, but this isn't normal, is it?" Kala asked.

"No, Kala, this is not normal in the slightest." Zero answered.

"The hell is going on?" Neo asked.

"It's like all the technical stuff is going nuts." Zapor checked in his pocket, and his phone was messed up. "5th phone this week..."

"You guys think someone's doing this?" Leo asked.

"Most likely kid.." Saren snarked in a very deadpan tone.

Clock-Watch and Ryoku were walking nearby.

"See, Nick? This is exactly why my power core is better than yours. Much more reliable." Ryoku told Clock-Watch.

"Will you stop calling me Nick!? It was funny when that bogus psychic said it was my name, but you know it was a lie!" Clock-Watch replied.

"I know. But 'the mystic powers from beyond' said it was so!'" Ryoku responded, waving her arms and pretending to contact 'the beyond'.

"Knowing the way things hae started going for us lately, I'd say so." Fey agreed.

As soon as she finished saying that. Zapor's phone started to frizzle and make a very high pitched sound.

Saren blinked and looked at Fey. "Well, I guess it's a good thing I don't rely on electronic devices I suppose.."

Lexi took his phone, and crushed it with her foot. "That sound was really annoying."

Zapor sighed. "This is the second time my phone broke."

Ciel darted from the corner of the sidewalk, towards the group. "Hey, what the hell's going on?! I almost got ran over!"

Suddenly every radio, phone, and TV turned on all over Station Square. With Dr. Radon appearing on the TV's. "Hello everyone. I'm in need of some...assistance. I've lost a little experiemnt of mine, in the form of a little girl. Echo Serene, being that thing I have lost. I am demanding that she be returned to me at once. If she is, I will allow everything to return to normal as it was, however if she is not..." He pauses for a moment. "More chaos will begin to insue. If she is not returned to me within the next 24 hours. Every cyborg in this town, will start to drop like flies. Let me give you an example..."

Across the street was a mobian with a cybernetic eye. At the press of a button, his eye began to short-circut, shooting electricity everywhere, and killing him in the process. Every TV in mobius changed to this scene, to show everybody the death of him. "Your 24 hours begins now." He presses another button and every screen broadcasts the time left.

"What the hell?" Kala asked. "He just killed that guy! All for Echo!"

"Whoa whoa WHAT!?" Clock-Watch exclaimed. "That doesn't sound good at all!" He continued walking and noticed Neo, Fey, and the others. "Hey, don't I know those guys?"

"This is bad." Ryoku told him. She seemed to be quite frightened by what had just happened. "If this guy messes with my nuclear power core, this entire city could be vaporized!"

Saren shrugged. "Well, I might not be affected considering if I die I'll probably come back as a ghost or something.." Saren said in a casual manner, like he really didn't understand the panic or he didn't care.

Ciel said nothing, her hands covering her mouth in shock, her tail tucked between her legs.

Zapor couldn't say anything because what just happened was at a level of hardcore death he wasn't even at yet, and he wasn't going to let Radon touch Echo.

"Zak, can't you hack him out of the whole system? Or use your sword?" Lexi asked.

Zak sighed. "Well, the Monando doesn't work like a tool you use to hack, it only short circuts robots and usually hurts other people. And I can't hack from my laptop since that's broken."

"So what do we do?" Fey asked.

"Okay..." Neo said. "I...might know a girl who can help us..."

"What?" Zero asked. "Who?"

"A while back I got involved a little...plan and I wound up working with some really weird people. I met this girl named Celia, she's a hacker." Neo explained. "She might be able to trace Radon, and possibly put a firewall up on some of us..." He said looking at Ciel.

"You act like this is something you don't want us to know." Leo said.

"On just me? What about everyone else?" Ciel questioned. "With OmegaCorp's wide distribution of cybernetics, how many other people are at risk here?"

"Y'know.. I'm very glad I never had any cybernetics implanted..." Saren said.

"Before this turns sour." Fey interrupted stepping between Ciel and Neo. "Let's focus on trying to stop the hacking altogether." She looked at Neo. "Where is Ceilia?"

"She's not far from here." Neo told them.

"Then let's head there, and get those of us who have the power to stop it situated before we do anything else." Fey announced. "Afterwards we can look into distributing it out to everyone else."

Saren nodded, staying silent out of boredom.

"To a hacker girls house!" Zapor cheered.

"Looks like our friends from Soleanna aren't around..." Ciel said, referring to Argent and co. "They won't know where to meet up at. How do we get the word out to them?"

"They might already have word now." Fey said. "If not, I'm sure the hacker has some way of getting their attention."

"Right, come on." Neo told them. He led the group around town, trying to avoid getting anywhere near the chaos, till eventually they came to a very large, but plain-looking house.

"This is it?" Fey asked.

"Yeah, Takashi residence." Neo told them.

"Nice place.." Saren muttered.

"Zak, what's hacking like?" Zapor asked.

"Well, you have a machine that connects to a largely populated.... *insert a bunch of smart words related to hacking here* ....then, you basically have the entire system at your control." Zak answered.

"....."Zapor didn't follow any of what he said, but pretended to get it.

"Hey! HEY!" Clock-Watch yelled, right behind them. "Wait up! I think I can help you!"

Ryoku was running right behind Clock-Watch.

"So you've seen her work?" Ciel asked with a nervous tone. It wasn't the threat of her body shutting down that had her jittery; it was having someone else mess with her firmware.

"She won't do anything negative." Neo told Ciel. "I trust Cielia."

"Oh, hey Clock-watch." Trinity said.

"Help us how?" Fey asked.

Neo knocked on the door. There was silence for a whiel, then a green fox girl wearing a very wornout hoodie and pants opened the door. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and she wore a pair of thin glasses. "Neo?" She asked.

"Cielia, we need your help." Neo told her.

The girl looked over the group. Stopping to look at Ryoku, Clock-watch and Ciel. She sighed. "Alright. Get in." She offered to her very neat home, with technology litterally at every corner. There were tablets, monitors, panels, and just about anything you can think of.

"..Woah." Zak never seen this much technology altogether in a hackers home in such a neat way, which is saying something since he tries to keep all his hacker stuff neat and tidy.

Ciel went to open her mouth, but she decided to keep her stupid questions about how many digit spaces her electric bill placed at to herself. "You're really dedicated to your job..."

"Yup." She said going over to her very large computer, with monitors covering the wall. "I don't know who this guy is, but he's an idiot to think that he can hack everything within Station Square."

"So you have a cure?" Neo asked.

"More or less." Ceilia answered. "I've done some calculations, crunched some numbers, and I've determined that there is something wrong with his threat."

"What do you mean?" Kala asked.

"Why would he kill cyborgs?" Ceilia said. "One could say that it's because those are his only targets, they're people and machines, but there's a problem with that logic." She typed up something a picture of her appeared on the screens, with a small heart shaped object on her chest. "Machines are normally controlled by the person, but they are hackable, and it is easy to glitch them out and just kill the person, but it's just as easy to reverse the flow of connection and have the machine control the person." She turned her chair around. "So why would he kill cyborgs instead of controlling them?"

"You think he plans on controlling the cyborgs?" Apollo asked.

"No, I don't, and that's the problem." Ceilia told them. "There are a multitude of theories as to what he's doing. The first couple that come to mind are assassination and distraction. He wants someone dead in Station Square, someone important, or he could be distracting people with this rather than something else, but I don't know what that something is."
