We see someone typing on a touch screen keyboard we see endless amounts of code until they form a cross symbol and then the symbol disappears as to which we see Crashbug X pop up, the smallest of all Crashbug's. "Bug? Crashbug? Crashbug!" It whacks the screen from the inside with it's head and we hear eerie laughter. "Time to go viral." Now a purple aura surrounds him. "Crashbug! Crash! Bug! Crashbug!" Now everything that is connected to Heartland city's main technology sub is infected by the malicious crashbug virus wrecking havoc throughout Heartland city. 

This monster appears in traffic lights causing traffic jams all over the city and now the monorail has come to a halt. Litterbots all around the city manufactured and picked up people instead of trash with their long, lean, durable arms.  "Didn't I tell you to get lost already, Astral?" "You did, but I do not understand what you mean by that. How can one consciously get lost? If I go somewhere, I will know where I am." "It's a figure of speech it means, "Beat it, leave, go away!" "I can't until you gather the Numbers." 

"What about you? What do I have to do with anything, why do I have to do with anything? Why do I have to gather your dumb numbers? I know your not a dog! It's just an expression! Aww never mind, forget this." Yuma now starts to jog down the street Lulu, Shay, Tori, and Yuto follow. "Observation Number 2: When asked to do something, humans behave erratically." Yuma growls at this statement. "Stop making observations!" While in front of Yuma's house he and the group heard his sister, Kari scream. "That sounded like my sister." Yuma rushes into Kari's room while the group stands in the hallway. "What's going on Kari?" 

"My research, my transcripts, my big scoop. Some kind of bug just wiped out my computer." "Okay let's stay calm." Yuma says although he knows his sister is a ticking time bomb and he is in her radius now Kari's eyes go wide and there is tears in her eyes as she continues on. "My deadline is tomorrow." "Mount Kari's about to blow." "We might want to get out of here." Tori says and they all start to run down the hallway and Yuma's staircase. "Hey, Yuma! Go find me a new story or else!"

Now while the group is standing in the city, they discuss. "How does Kari expect me to find her a scoop? And why hasn't traffic moved in ten minutes?" "Nothing's been moving." Yuto says and Tori nods. "Something is going on." "Do you guys hear that? Look the vending machines giving out juices by itself!" "Yuma don't." Lulu says pointing her finger to him now five minutes later Yuma is holding a pile of juices. 

"You can't take those, you didn't pay for them!" Then a litterbot scooped up Yuma and put him in the trash Lulu and Tori both shake their heads as they had warned Yuma and he hadn't listened. Kari was watching the news but turned it off sadly. "I don't wanna hear about anyone filing reports." "Thanks for the grub, grandma." Yuma says putting his hands together. "Why did my computer trash my report?" Kari says as her head rests on the table. "Speaking of trash, one of those liter bots scooped me up today." 

"the same thing happened to me." Yuma's grandmother says. "Wait, wait. What?" "Downtown was crazy today." Yuma grabs his chopsticks. "Traffic lights were wonky, the monorail got stuck, vending machines were just spitting out juices." "The radio said everything is normal now." "So wait, I'm not the only one who's computer got wiped out?" "Guess not." Yuma says.

"Something stinks." At this Yuma and his grandmother start to sniff themselves seeing if they were the one who stunk. "Not you two! I smell a good story brewing! I've gotta replenish my energy and get cracking!" Kari uses her chopsticks and takes Yuma's fish from him she starts to eat at it. "Huh? Hey, that's mine! Um... Sis? Sis?Hey!" 

Yuma says standing up but Kari already finished the fish and threw the bones onto her plate and she ran upstairs to write her story. "So this is how humans replenish their energy." Later on that night after dinner Yuma was up in his room and Astral was outside his door talking. "And you park your vehicles on something called a driveway, yet you drive them on something called a parkway..." "Would you stop talking to me? Just go away!" 

"I only seek to understand your behavior." "I'm in a magical room right now. If you bother me while I'm in here, there's a chance I may turn into a guinea pig!" Yuma says so Astral will stop talking to him. "Interesting... Observation Number 3: After replenishing their energy, humans retire to a private magical room, and if they are disturbed while inside their magic room, they will transform into a rodent." 

"Stop observing!" "One more thing, you seem to be such a complex and functional being. So then why do you always malfunction when it comes time to duel?" "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Your dueling is broken and erroneous." Yuma now comes out of his bedroom and into the hallway to yell at Astral. "Go away! Nobody's perfect, don't you get that? People are interesting because they can fail!" "I do not understand that." Astral says to Yuma. "Failure is not an option for me." "But you won't be able to achieve anything if you're afraid to fail. My dad said that and my dad is awesome, so there. And leave me alone, you floating flashlight!" 

"Ahh." That morning when Yuma woke up and fell off his canopy he looked around but didn't see Astral. "Yuma two of your friends are here! When you get dressed come downstairs!" Yuma's grandmother says. "Alright grandma!" Yuma shouts. "Looks like Astral finally took a hint!" Yuma got dressed in his school uniform and when he came downstairs he saw Lulu and Astral floating beside her he groaned and his grandmother gave him a pointed look, assuming he was annoyed with Lulu's presence

Now the three start to walk together to school Astral' looked all around him in amazement and was observing everything Lulu could tell he was and that he would tell her all about his observations later.. Now it shows when Yuma gets to school although it is late and he sits down in his chair. "Made it!" 

"So I know we were going to spend today's class discussing the Quadratic Equation and I know you were all looking forward to that, but unfortunately, due to yesterday's system hiccup, our systems are offline. Extra credit for anyone who can find the source of that and..." The rest of class went by super fast and school as well. 

"Isn't Mr. Kay the most awesome? Not only is he the most awesome but he's also the smartest math teacher ever but he's super nice too. I wanna be just like him when I grow up. Then a car pulls up in front of Yuma, Tori, Taehyung, and Lulu and the car window rolls down to reveal Kari wearing shades and she leans out her car window. 

"Hey doofus, what's up?" "What do you want, sis?" "Hop in the car, let's go for a drive." Yuma sits in the backseat with Lulu next to him, and Tori in the passenger seat next to Kari. "It's a good thing yesterday's virus attack only spread to a few remote servers." 'Why? What would've happened if it had spread to more... Remote control... Serving thingies.." 

"The entire city would've been thrown into chaos." "Whoa, that sounds really serious." "Forget about traffic lights and litter bots. Bank data would've vanished, people would've lost their money. Hospitals would've lost medical records, and the ability to help people. It would've been a disaster." Kari says looking into the backseat at Yuma. "Wow, are you serious?" "Who would do such a terrible thing?" Tori asks putting her finger to her mouth. 'I have no idea, but I do know that the virus was transmitted from your school library." 'What?" They all say in sync with each other.
