In Alchemy Labs, Dr Lestrange, Spirit and Choco start to talk about Void Walker and Dark Plague, "I've fought the shadow guy before but who is Dark Plague?" Spirit asks Choco. "I couldn't see the face but I'm pretty sure it's a guy, looks about 170cm in height, they killed my manager with some black tendrils," Choco says, Dr Lestrange looks concerned. "Was there dripping black goo?" He asks Choco, and they nod.

"There was something similar we were testing about a week before the explosion, one of our Scientist, Hannah Romay was testing a kinda living thing we called "Unknown" and it seemed to react to sound and light but I stopped the testing due to health concerns they have been showing. They got agitated when they were around the Unknown and almost killed another scientist, so we locked the thing in a tube, somehow someone got their hands on the Unknown." Dr Lestrange explained.

As Dr Lestrange finishes his explanation, the main screen shows an attack, Spirit and Choco nod at each other before suiting and and flying to the attack.

In the middle of Downtown New Vine, Void Walker along side 20 Plague Beings start to attack civilians, the police arrives led by Sargent Anderson as they fire shots at the adversaries, but it doesn't affect them, the Plague Beings starts attacking the Police, slowly turning some of them into Plague beings themselves.

"What the fuck?" Anderson says after seeing some of his officers slowly turning into Black Goo monsters, "Get back! Don't let them touch you!" Anderson yelled, as his officers slowly back up but some got hit.

Star Struck and Crow lands in front of them, "Sargent, get your men out of here. We can take care of them." Star Struck says, but before Anderson goes he says, "Don't let them touch you, look at what happened to my officers," "Dr Lestrange, it seems like the Unknown can turn people into Unknowns." Crow says through the comms.

"Well, looks like you did show up, Levaire and you brought a friend this time, how fun." Void Walker says before turning into a shadow and appearing behind the two but gets blasted by Crow's repulsors. "You talk too much Void, and too slow." Crow says before flying at Void Walker and drags him on the ground before throwing him at Star Struck, "Batter up!" Crow says as Star Struck crystalizes water into a baseball bat and hits at at the falling Void Walker. 

Void Walker lands, wounded before retreating but leaving the Plague Beings to fight the two heroes. "Now how do we take care of them?" Star Struck says, "How about something shocking?" Crow slams their fist onto the ground, sending lightning through the ground targeting the Plague beings, but it  only turns them into pools of black goo as they go into the sewers.

In the Plague lair, Anakin steps out into the light, wounded before dropping to the ground. "FUCK!" He says slamming their fist onto the ground. Their eyes goes black, "Don't worry, it's not going to hurt." Anakin hears Han's voice in his head, he stands and walk to the main room.

Back at Alchemy Labs, Spirit and Choco head out of the armory after putting their suits back, "I feel bad for beating Void Walker with that Crystal Baseball bat but not really," Spirit says to Choco as they walk into the Cortex. "Fine work and now we know Electricity deforms the Unknown." Dr Lestrange says, "Now I think we should all go home, you two must be tired, and Spirit, Cara is sleeping the desk again."
