Cyberchase: When Worlds Collide

The Return Of Miss Power

The United States, what was once a proud and resilient nation, had fallen under Hacker’s control, his influence spreading rapidly as more countries yielded to his ever-growing army.

In the bustling city of New York, on a dock with a view of the Statue of Liberty, Hacker stood with a megaphone, directing a group of former citizens and his robotic minions to dismantle the iconic statue. He planned to replace it with a colossal figure of himself, a symbol of his dominance over the land. A similar project involving As he stormed off, Buzz and Delete exchanged one last uneasy look. Neither spoke, but they both felt the same knot of worry tightening in their stomachs.
Rushmore was also in the works, though the specifics were still being ironed out.

"YOU! Work faster! YOU—move that piece more to the right! And YOU… HEY! My chin is not THAT big! Fix it immediately!"

In the midst of issuing commands, Hacker’s tablet started vibrating, lighting up with an incoming video request from Max. He let out an exasperated sigh, pulled it from his back pocket, and tapped the screen.

"What is it, Max? Can't you see I'm busy?" Hacker snapped. "If this is about The Energy Monster again, I've already told her..."

"U-uh… A-actually, it’s Zach and the others. They request to speak with you… im-m-mediately," Max said.

Hacker paused, then let out an exasperated sigh. "Fine! But this better be quick—I have important work to oversee here!" He declared.

As Hacker gazed at the screen, he could hardly contain his excitement. The live feed showed Zach and Tobey in the temple deep within the Everfree Forest, surrounded by the captured Mane Six, the three young fillies, and a small dragon. Each of them wore blackish-gray vests and helmets marked with the Varmitech Industries logo, their faces expressionless and obedient.

Zusk stood at the back, cradling the Second Crystal in his hands, its powerful energy radiating in a way that Hacker could almost sense through the screen. “Excellent!” Hacker exclaimed. “With the Second Crystal in our grasp and our new allies, nothing will stand in our way of conquering the multiverse.” He let out a dark chuckle.

“Right! I wanted to go over our progress and see if anyone had any fresh ideas,” Hacker responded. “Go let the others know, and I’ll catch up with you back at the M.N.S.” As he finished speaking, the chat screen faded, replaced by Max's image.

“Well, you heard them. I need a portal! Now!” Hacker commanded sharply.

“O-of course! One p-p-portal coming right up!” Max stammered, his face set with determination. But just as he started to create the portal, he suddenly stopped, gasping as his screen flickered. Something dark was looming above him, slowly getting closer.

“Max? What’s going on?” Hacker asked, his irritation replaced by confusion.

“T-t-there’s s-s-something behind you!” Max stuttered, his voice shaking.

“What? What are you talking about?” Hacker asked, his irritation returning.

Hacker turned his head to the sky and was immediately overwhelmed by a loud commotion. A wave of shock washed over him as he spotted an unusual spacecraft making its way through the atmosphere.

Several workers he had hired for the statue stopped what they were doing, captivated by the bizarre sight. The spacecraft landed just a few feet from Hacker, and a figure stepped out of the cockpit.

The figure floated gracefully toward Hacker, leaving him momentarily speechless. As she approached, he could make out her features more distinctly. She was a woman with long blonde hair that partially covered one eye, clad in a sleek white and blue suit.
