I am very excited for this episode. This episode is going to be diving into some new territory and exploring a different character for a change. I don't wanna spoil much else, so let's hurry up and get these reviews done.
REVIEWS
Matthew Crispin - They did leave Dr. Pathogen down there. I purposely left his fate open ended because I didn't wanna have him get locked up again on only his second appearance. We'll see the doctor make his return again soon.
JTWAS1994 - Oh you have no idea. Nutball's story gets really interesting from here.
Guest - That's actually not a bad idea. I'll keep that name suggestion in mind.
J - Lily's blasts weaken the resolve of criminals basically. With each blast, their will to do evil is weakened. This isn't permanent however, and over time the criminal will regain their will to do evil again.
Guest - I can see where Luna's actions may have felt out of character. Had the episode focused more on her, I would've given more attention to that scene, but I didn't want to make the episode too long. Just know that Luna does love Sam and would not hurt her unless she absolutely had to, such as this instance.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Loud House. All rights belong to Nickelodeon.
NB: The theme song is "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons, with my own little twist in the lyrics. It follows the same tune though, of course. I felt like the song fit perfectly with the series so, here we are. You can kind of imagine Lincoln singing the lyrics if you like, as I feel they're sort of based off of him.
Theme Song
Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my old life behind
Not a yes sir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Don my mask and attire, my new persona
I was "Lightning" before the "Thunder"
Thunder, thunder
Thunder, thun- thunder
Thun-thun-thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder, thun-thunder
Thun-thun-thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the Thunder!
Lightning and Super Thunder!
Thunder, feel the Thunder!
Lightning and Super Thunder!
Thunder, thunder
Thunder!
Episode 23: System Error Part 1
A hooded figure in a dark room is seen viewing something on a computer monitor. Upon closer inspection, it is revealed that the monitor is displaying live camera footage of Digi-Tech.
The hooded figure switches through different camera angles and pauses on one. It displays Lincoln and Clyde currently running towards an elevator on the ground floor.
*elevator doors open and the boys run inside*
"Floor S please." said Lincoln, as the elevator doors closed and it started descending.
"Oh man! Are you ready for this Clyde?!" asked Lincoln.
"I hope so. I think I've done enough of the mental training exercises that Dr. Lopez prescribed." said Clyde.
Lincoln paused for a second after that statement.
"Virtual reality Clyde! We're actually gonna be beta testers for a brand new game!" said Lincoln.
"I know! This is the coolest thing that's ever happened to me! Well, besides finding out that you and your family are superheroes." said Clyde.
"Haha! Yeah. Speaking of which..."
Lincoln suddenly activated his PortaPendant and transformed into Lightning.
"Whoa. Is it really necessary to go super right now?" asked Clyde.
"It's just safety protocol when we're on Floor S. The only people at Digi-Tech who know Super Thunder's secret identities are Dave and Mona." said Lightning.
"Huh. That's cool. You know, it's great that your family has people that they can trust." said Clyde.
"Yeah, me and my family can't do it all on our own. Sometimes even heroes need help." said Lightning.
"Yeah..." said Clyde, thinking about that statement.
*elevator doors open on Floor S*
"Come on! Let's head to the prototype lab!" said Lightning, taking off.
"Right behind you Lightning!" said Clyde, running past other scientists.
Meanwhile, in the prototype lab, Super Sense was currently demonstrating a new creation to Dave and Mona.
*reddish-brown nanites are seen forming the Eiffel tower*
"Behold! I give you nanites! There's endless possibilities for this technology Dave. These nanites can help us make our inventions much faster!" said Super Sense.
"This is amazing Lisa! How do they work?" asked Dave intrigued.
"They're controlled via this computer. Each button on this control panel gives them a different command. Observe." said Super Sense, as she pushed a purple button.
The nanites suddenly attached themselves to a broken alarm clock and began fixing it.
"Amazing!" said Dave, still shocked.
"These little guys sure are smart!" said Mona.
She then noticed a peculiar looking helmet sitting on the lab bench not too far from the alarm clock. It was silver with a brown tinted visor and had two antennas on either side of it, sticking out at the top.
"What's that helmet for Lisa?" asked Mona curious.
"Ah. This is still in development, but it would essentially allow a human to control the nanites without the use of a computer. I still haven't worked out all the kinks yet though." said Super Sense, taking the helmet in her hands.
"Wait, are you saying someone would be able to control these nanites with their mind?" asked Dave.
"Precisely." said Super Sense.
Before Dave could inquire further about this, a female student scientist suddenly rushed in with an emergency.
"Mr. Wiser! Mona! My power grid experiment is getting dangerously unstable!" said the student scientist.
"We have to contain it quickly!" said Dave.
"I'll grab the destabilizers." said Mona, as she, Dave, and the student hastily left the lab.
"I better follow them." said Super Sense, as she turned off the nanites via the computer and they ceased work on the broken alarm clock.
"*grabs super electrometer* Wait for me guys!" said Super Sense, as she left the lab too.
As soon as she left, Lightning and Clyde entered the lab through another entrance.
"Hello? Mona? Dave?" said Lightning.
"Looks like they're not here." said Clyde.
"They're probably handling something important. I'm sure they'll be back soon." said Lightning.
"So how is this virtual reality game gonna work?" asked Clyde curious.
"Well, Mona didn't go into much detail, but if its anything like my last VR game, it'll look something like..."
"This?" said Clyde, picking up the helmet from earlier.
"Yes! That's gotta be the VR helmet!" said Lightning excitedly.
"It sure looks state of the art." said Clyde, as he put the helmet on. "I don't see anything." said Clyde.
"I think you have to turn it on buddy." said Lightning.
"How do you turn this thing on?" asked Clyde, as he fiddled with one of the antennae.
At a certain point, he twisted the right antenna a little too hard and a slight spark emitted from it. Suddenly, the nanites seemed to activate and all of them immediately attracted themselves to Clyde.
"Whoa! What are these things?!" asked Clyde freaked out.
"I don't know! Uh...bugs?" said Lightning clueless.
"Shoo! Shoo you, uh...whatever you are!" said Clyde, starting to squirm.
"Alright Clyde, I want you to stay calm. They're not hurting you." said Lightning.
"I know, but they're crowding around me just like... *gulps* ...balloons!" said Clyde.
As soon as he said 'balloons', the nanites instinctively binded together to form one, much to Clyde's horror.
"AHHHHH! Get away!" exclaimed Clyde, as he started running from the nanites, who seemed to give chase.
"Clyde! Relax! They seem harmless!" said Lightning.
"EVIL!" exclaimed Clyde, continuing to run around the lab.
"*sighs* Alright. Let's try this." said Lightning, as he released a stream of electricity from his hands, in hopes of stopping the nanites.
The nanites were prepared for this though, as they suddenly binded together to form a shield, and seemingly absorbed the electrical attack.
"Well that didn't work." said Lightning.
"What in the name of Albert Einstein is going on in here?" asked Super Sense.
"Lisa! Uh...Clyde needs help." said Lightning cheekily.
"Can you get these things to stop chasing me?!" asked Clyde, still running.
Lisa hurriedly ran over to the computer and quickly tried shutting down the nanites. However, when she tried turning them off, it seemed to glitch out the system.
"What happened here? Is something else controlling them?" asked Super Sense confused.
She then took notice of the helmet on Clyde's head.
"*gasps* The helmet! Oh no..." said Super Sense.
"Wait. That's your helmet?!" asked Lightning.
"It was...I'm gonna have to manually override these nanites." said Super Sense, as she took out a key from her lab coat and inserted it into a keyhole housed within the control panel.
Super Sense turned the key to the right which shut down the nanites. However, what she didn't know was that this caused a glitch in Digi-Tech's computer system, resulting in their firewall being deactivated.
"What happened in here?" asked Mona, rushing in with Dave.
"Lincoln? Clyde?" said Super Sense, wanting an explanation.
"We...we thought your helmet was a VR helmet. For the new game that Mona's developing." said Lightning.
"Oh, that's right! I did tell you boys I was gonna let you do a test run of it today. Unfortunately, it's still not done yet though. I haven't even made the goggles for it yet." said Mona.
"Whoops." said Clyde, taking off the helmet.
"It's okay Clyde. No harm done. It was just a simple mistake." said Dave.
"Yes, a bizarre one at that. I'm gonna have to inspect this helmet." said Super Sense, taking it away.
As the group continued talking, it was revealed they were being watched by a camera drone that was currently broadcasting live footage to the hooded figure.
The figure smirked and then turned to another monitor. On the screen, it showed that Digi-Tech's firewall was inactive, making their computer network very vulnerable. A program was then opened on the desktop called Ghost-dot-net.
A box popped up on the screen shortly after asking for the location to send the program to. The hooded figure typed in Digi-Tech and the program was sent off to that location.
Later that night at the McBrides...
*Clyde is tossing and turning in his sleep*
"No! Stop! Get away from me! Go away! GO AWAY!"
Clyde was having a nightmare about the nanites crowding around him. He was trying to escape them, but it was no use.
"No! Please! NOOOO!..."
*Clyde suddenly wakes up panting*
"*looks around his room and sighs in relief* I guess it was just a bad dream..." said Clyde.
He then turned on his bedside lamp and discovered some familiar objects hovering above him.
*Clyde puts on his glasses and sees the nanites above him*
"AAAAHHHHH!" screamed Clyde loudly.
This scream was so loud that it instantly prompted Clyde's dads to enter his room.
"Clyde honey? What's wrong?" asked Howard concerned.
Upon entering, the nanites suddenly scattered, hiding somewhere else in the room.
"These things, they-!"
Clyde looked up and suddenly realized the nanites were gone. The dads looked up and saw nothing either.
"Clyde, what things?" asked Harold confused.
"I...I...I just had a nightmare...about...balloons..." said Clyde reluctantly.
"Oh Clyde! Not again! Do you want to sleep with us tonight sweetie?" asked Howard.
"No...that's okay. I'll be fine." said Clyde.
"Are you sure Clyde?" asked Harold.
"Yes, I'm sure dads. Good night!" said Clyde.
"Okay, but if you need us, we're right here. Okay honey?" said Howard.
"Okay dad. Thanks." said Clyde.
"Try to get some sleep Clyde." said Harold, as he closed the door behind him and Howard.
As soon as the dads left, the nanites returned, once again hovering above Clyde.
"I've gotta tell Lincoln about this..." said Clyde.
The next day, at Digi-Tech...
"Hmm...Well at least we know where the nanites went to now." said Super Sense, observing the nanites still hovering above Clyde.
"Why did they follow Clyde home?" asked Lightning.
"It appears that there's a psychic link between them now. Perhaps something went wrong when Clyde used the helmet." said Super Sense.
"Well, can you make them leave me alone?" asked Clyde.
"I can try, but I don't think it's going to work." said Super Sense, as she tried turning off the nanites using the computer, but they didn't respond.
"Huh. Let me see something. *grabs the helmet* Put this on Clyde." said Super Sense, giving the helmet to Clyde.
*Clyde puts the helmet on*
"Alright. Now tell the nanites to stop floating around you." said Super Sense.
"Uh...okay. *clears throat* Nanites! Stop floating!" said Clyde.
Immediately, the nanites responded to the signal sent out by the helmet, and all of them dropped to the ground.
"Whoa." said Lightning.
"Ah-ha. My suspicions were correct. The nanites only respond to you now Clyde." said Super Sense.
"Oh boy...Lisa, I'm sorry-"
"It's alright Clyde. I'll figure out a way to regain control of them. In the meantime, you'll have to get used to them being around you." said Super Sense.
"But how will I keep them in one place?" asked Clyde.
"With the helmet. It's yours now Clyde." said Super Sense.
Clyde had a look of guilt on his face, as he processed the information he was just told. Lightning put a hand on his shoulder in support.
"*sighs* Nanites! *nanites start floating again* Into my backpack!" said Clyde, as all the nanites flew into his backpack.
"*takes off helmet* I'll keep this in there too." said Clyde, as he put the helmet in his backpack as well.
Just then, Mona entered the lab.
"Oh hey Mona! Is the game ready yet?" asked Lightning eagerly.
"No, unfortunately not. For some reason, certain elements of my game design got messed up. I think it has something to do with the simulation program on my computer." said Mona.
"I can take a look at it Mona, if you'd like." said Super Sense.
"Sure Lisa! That would be great!" said Mona.
"*receives a text message* Hey Clyde, everyone's at Gus' Games and Grub right now. You wanna go?" asked Lightning.
"Sure. Why not? I need to do something to get my mind off this." said Clyde.
"Lisa'll get it fixed buddy. Don't worry! Come on, let's go!" said Lightning, as he ran out the lab followed by Clyde.
Mona and Lisa left the lab shortly after them to head to Mona's lab.
At this point, it was revealed that the hooded figure was watching them again. On the other monitor the figure was viewing, it showed that the download of Ghost-dot-net into Digi-Tech's system was 50% complete.
The figure then turned attention back to the cameras, as focus was put on Lincoln and Clyde leaving Digi-Tech. The figure decided to deploy a camera drone to follow them.
About an hour later at Gus' Games and Grub...
*Stella and Liam are competing against each other in Dance Battle*
"Just give it up Liam! No one beats the Queen!" said Stella.
"I'll be darned if I give up now! It's not in the heart of a farm boy to quit!" said Lisa.
"Maybe not, but losing apparently is." said Stella.
"*growls* We'll see about that!" said Liam.
Just then, Lincoln and Clyde entered the arcade and approached Zach and Rusty at the table.
"What's up guys?" said Lincoln.
"Hey Lincoln. Clyde. Didn't think you two would make it." said Rusty.
"We couldn't leave our friends hanging!" said Lincoln.
"Yeah..." said Clyde, as he sat down glumly.
"What's wrong with Clyde?" asked Zach.
"Uhm...he's fine. He's just having a hard time getting used to new things." said Lincoln.
"I feel you bro. I don't do well with change. That's why I wear my underwear for a whole week straight!" said Rusty.
The other boys instantly cringed upon hearing his comment.
Just then, a game over sound effect was heard, followed by a defeated cry from Liam.
"I told ya. No one beats me." said Stella.
"I had to learn that the hard way bro." said Rusty.
"Oh we know Rusty. I still have the video saved on my phone." said Zach.
"We all do. It's hilarious!" said Stella. "Linc? You trying to get whooped for Round 2?" asked Stella.
"I don't know about getting whooped, but I'll take you on!" said Lincoln, stepping onto the dance pad.
"Bring it Loud." said Stella, as she started up the game.
Lincoln and Stella then began dancing. As they danced, the camera drone was once again watching their every move.
Back in the dark room, the hooded figure accessed Gus' Games and Grub's computer system and hacked into it remotely.
*manager is knocked out snoring as the computer monitor on the desk starts glitching*
The hooded figure saw that Lincoln and Clyde were by the game Dance Battle, and decided to hack into that arcade machine's computer.
"*looks at the game screen and sees it glitching* Huh?" said Clyde confused.
"Is it me or are the arrows getting faster?" asked Lincoln, struggling to keep up.
"Its not a problem for me. I'm a master at this game." said Stella, still dancing along.
"Yeah but-"
Lincoln was suddenly cut off as a blast of sparks suddenly erupted from the machine. He and Stella were knocked back into the table.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Liam.
"What happened?" asked Zach.
Before they could receive an answer, the tiles of the dance pads started to pop out, and were launched at the group.
"Everyone run! The machines are alive!" said Rusty, as the group scattered in different directions.
"*panting* Lincoln! What the heck is going on?" asked Clyde.
"I don't know! Dance Battle just attacked us!" said Lincoln.
Suddenly, a puck from an air hockey table was shot at the boys, but they just barely dodged it.
"What was that?!" asked Lincoln.
Lincoln and Clyde turned to see the air hockey table readying its pucks to fire.
"Take cover!" exclaimed Lincoln, as he and Clyde dove behind a booth to avoid the onslaught.
Suddenly, around the arcade, many more game machines began to seemingly come alive, and kids started to flee in terror.
"Ahh!"
"Help!"
"That's Zach and Liam! I've gotta help them Clyde!" said Lincoln.
"But, but-!"
"Just stay here! I've got this!" said Lincoln, as he activated his PortaPendant and transformed into Lightning.
As Clyde watched Lightning leave, he started to think to himself.
"I can't let Lincoln do this by himself! This is crazy!" said Clyde.
Just then, the nanites began to float out of his backpack and surrounded him.
"Oh no! The last thing I need is you guys around! Come on! Get back in the backpack!" said Clyde.
The nanites didn't move and Clyde began to get frustrated with them. He was so focused on getting them to obey, that he completely missed the torrent of basketballs about to rain down upon him.
*the nanites suddenly form a trampoline over Clyde and they bounce the balls back*
"Whoa! You guys saved me!...You know what? Maybe you guys are useful after all!" said Clyde, as he took out his helmet.
"*sighs* Let's give this a try." said Clyde, as he put the helmet on. "Nanites! Uh, form a suit?" said Clyde unsure.
The nanites understood what he meant however, and some of them binded themselves to Clyde's body to form a reddish-brown suit with red gloves and boots.
"Whoa! This is way cooler than what I thought in my head!" said Clyde amazed.
"Ahh! No! Please!"
"Come on! Let's go save my friends!" said Clyde, as he leaped over the booth and ran over to where he heard the cry for help.
He discovered that it came from Rusty, who was currently being held by his underwear from the claw in the skill crane game.
"Help! This is severely uncomfortable!" said Rusty, in pain.
"Uh...don't worry, I'll save you!" said Clyde, trying to disguise his voice.
"Nanites! Form scissors!" said Clyde, as some nanites bonded together to form a giant pair of scissors.
"Nanites! Cut the claw!" said Clyde.
The nanites then cut the claw in two, freeing Rusty from its clutches.
"*lands on ground* Ouch. *gets up and removes claw from his underwear* Thanks man. I think I'm finally gonna change my underwear today." said Rusty.
"I think that's for the best." said Clyde, as he turned to leave.
"Oh, by the way, who are you?" asked Rusty.
"Uh..."
Just then, three more screams for help were heard coming from behind Clyde.
"Gotta go!" said Clyde, as he ran off, leaving Rusty behind.
"Man! I was this close to being the first person to meet a new superhero!" said Rusty.
Clyde made it to where the screams came from and it was revealed that Zach, Liam, and surprisingly Lightning, were being held hostage by a ticket machine.
"Oh no! Nanites! Form a boomerang!" said Clyde, as some nanites formed a boomerang and landed in Clyde's hands.
Clyde then threw the boomerang at the strands of tickets holding his friends, and the boomerang cut through the strands, cutting his friends down.
Lightning landed on the ground feet first and turned to see Clyde standing there in the reddish-brown suit.
Before he could say anything, another shriek was suddenly heard coming towards them.
"Hey, that sounds like Stella!" said Liam.
Indeed it was Stella, who was currently being chased by a rogue motorcycle. It had broken off of its position on a racing game, and was now gunning for Stella.
"Someone help me!" exclaimed Stella.
Lightning and Clyde exchanged a look and sprang into action.
Lightning used his electric powers to pull Stella out of harm's way, while Clyde stared down the out of control bike.
"The race is over! Nanites! Roadblock!" said Clyde.
Some nanites suddenly formed a brick wall in front of the group of kids, and the motorcycle crashed into it full force, putting it out of comission.
As soon as this happened, the hooded figure slammed a fist against the desk in anger. Then, in peripheral view, it was shown that the Ghost-dot-net download was complete.
The hooded figure smiled as he ceased his control over the arcade machines, and started hacking into Digi-Tech's computer system.
Back at the arcade, everything had gone silent as the machines suddenly stopped moving.
"Is it over?" asked Zach.
"I think so." said Stella.
In the manager's office, the computer monitor stopped glitching and this seemed to wake him up.
"Huh? What happened?" said the manager clueless.
A few minutes later, Lincoln and Clyde are seen walking home, talking about what had just transpired.
"Clyde, that was amazing! How did you know how to do all that stuff?" asked Lincoln, in awe.
"I don't know! Whatever I thought of, that's what the nanites turned into. Those things really are smart." said Clyde.
"Yeah, they are! They really helped us out today buddy! I couldn't do anything against those machines!" said Lincoln.
"Well, you always have the rest of Super Thunder." said Clyde.
"Yeah, but, they wouldn't have gotten there in time. Clyde, if it wasn't for you...things might've turned out differently." said Lincoln.
Clyde suddenly stopped walking and paused at Lincoln's statement.
"You were a real hero today Clyde." said Lincoln.
"But I'm not really a hero. I just wanted to save you guys. You're my friends." said Clyde.
"To me, that's what being a hero is all about. Saving the day to protect what's most important to you." said Lincoln.
"Yeah, but Lincoln, this wasn't even supposed to happen! I'm not supposed to have these powers! I mean nanites! Can I even call them powers?" said Clyde, getting flustered.
"Hey, it's okay buddy. I know this is a lot for you right now. Lisa's gonna fix this though. Don't worry." said Lincoln.
"Yeah..." said Clyde, unsure of what else to say.
Suddenly, the red light started flashing on Lincoln's PortaPendant, signaling that there was serious trouble somewhere.
"Lincoln! Come in Lincoln! You're needed at Digi-Tech! There's an urgent crisis developing!" said Super Sense, over the communicator.
"Copy that Lisa. I'm on my way!" said Lincoln, via communicator.
"I've gotta go Clyde." said Lincoln.
"Yeah I know. Emergency." said Clyde.
"There's never a day without one in this town. I'll see you around buddy!" said Lincoln, running off.
"See ya!" said Clyde, as he continued walking along the path to his home.
Little did he know that he was being followed by the camera drone from earlier.
At some point, Clyde started to sense that something was wrong. He looked behind him and didn't see anybody following him. Then, he looked on either side of him, still not seeing anything.
"Huh. Maybe I'm being paranoid." said Clyde.
Suddenly, a laser beam was shot at Clyde, which he barely avoided. He looked above him to see the camera drone, now attacking him.
Clyde took off running down the sidewalk, dodging each laser beam as best as he could. He suddenly turned down an alleyway in an attempt to lose the drone, but that turned out to be a dead end.
"Oh man! I knew I should've paid attention when my dads were doing safety patrols!" said Clyde.
The camera drone then found Clyde and started flying towards him.
"Stop! Don't come any closer!...I'm armed!" said Clyde nervously.
"I know that already kid. Why do you think I'm trailing you?" said a distorted male voice.
"*looks around confused* Who said that?" asked Clyde.
Suddenly, the camera drone started projecting a hologram from its lens. It was that of the mysterious hooded figure.
"Me." said the hooded figure.
"Who are you?" asked Clyde.
"I'm gonna go by my screen name: Cyberion." said the hooded figure, now known as Cyberion.
"What do you want?" asked Clyde.
"I want a lot of things kid. Internet fame, popularity, any kind of attention really. But what I want right now, is for you to stay out of my way." said Cyberion.
"What are you talking about?" asked Clyde.
"I'm about to bring Digi-Tech to its knees. And probably Super Thunder along with it." said Cyberion.
"Wait...did you hack Digi-Tech or something?!" asked Clyde.
"Yup. And I hacked those machines at the arcade in case you were wondering. Those nanites you've got there are pretty smart, and you look to be a grade A poindexter, so don't be stupid and try to stop me. It's already too late." said Cyberion.
"Hey, I'm not a poindexter! And you can't do this to Digi-Tech!" said Clyde.
"Uh kid? Did you hear anything I just said? I already hacked the place. Kinda already over at this point." said Cyberion.
"So wait. When you attacked me at the arcade, you were trying to get rid of me?" asked Clyde.
"I was trying to warn you, but then you decided to become a superhero out of nowhere! Like bro! Come on! Are you trying to make my job harder here? I already have a gang of supers to deal with." said Cyberion.
"Please don't hurt them! They're like my family!" said Clyde.
"Well, technically I'm not hurting them. The machines are. Don't worry though, I'll send you a video of their defeat later. *laughs* I'm about to be getting so much views!" said Cyberion.
"Please...don't d-"
"Look bro, I'd love to keep chatting with you but I have a company to tear down. So here's my ultimatum. Stay out of my way and you don't get hurt. Simple." said Cyberion.
"But-"
"I gotta go kid. Go read a nerd book or something. And remember, I'll be watching you." said Cyberion, as the hologram suddenly disappeared and the camera drone flew away from Clyde.
Clyde was left standing in the alleyway, confused and shaken up.
Meanwhile at Digi-Tech...
"I can't log into my computer! I don't have access anymore!" said Mona frantic.
"Oh no...we're too late..." said Super Sense.
Suddenly, Dave rushed in panting heavily.
"What's wrong Dave?" asked Mona.
"Our firewall is down! Our whole system is being taken over by an unknown source!" said Dave.
"What?! How did that happen?" asked Mona.
"Easy. I hit you when your pants were down!" said the distorted voice from earlier.
Suddenly, all the monitors in Mona's lab began to glitch as Cyberion started popping up on every screen.
"Wh-Who...who are you?" asked Dave.
"The name's Cyberion. I'm here to put your company out of comission Dave Wiser." said Cyberion.
"Why?" asked Dave.
"I just want to be the first one to do it. It's an internet thing." said Cyberion.
Just then, Lightning appeared from a ceiling light.
"What's going on?" asked Lightning.
"Oh hey Lightning. You're just in time to witness the fall of Digi-Tech." said Cyberion.
"Who are-"
Just then, Super Sense received a vision of the group becoming trapped in the lab.
"*gasps* No!" said Super Sense, as she suddenly hurried towards the lab doors, which were suddenly closed shut before her.
"Where do you think you're going? I own this building now. Just wait until the rest of your team gets here. It'll be so easy to pick them off, one by one." said Cyberion.
Cyberion then started laughing to himself, as Super Sense activated her communicator.
"Family! A hacker has taken over the building! Proceed with extreme-"
*static sound is heard*
"Wait. Is that Electro?" asked Lightning.
"Nah. I blocked your signal with a signal jammer. I've gotta make this defeat interesting." said Cyberion.
"Alright, I've had enough of you!" said Lightning, as he started discharging electricity from his hands.
"Bring it Lightning!" said Cyberion, as he took control of the keyboards and rose them up in a fighting stance of sorts.
Meanwhile with the rest of Super Thunder...
"What happened to Lisa?" asked Ms. Shift.
"I don't know! I lost her signal!" said Mr. Elastic.
"She said we gotta watch out for a hacker dudes, so we better keep our guard up!" said The Amp.
"Probably should've gave that advice to Digi-Tech." said Light Show, as a quip.
"I hope Dave and Mona are okay." said Invisi-Girl, as Thunderbolt approached Digi-Tech.
Meanwhile at the McBrides...
"Clyde? Are you okay honey? You've barely touched your food." said Howard concerned.
"Um...I'm fine Dad. I just...had a lot to eat earlier at the arcade, so I'm not really hungry." said Clyde.
"Oh Clyde, you know you're not supposed to overdo it on junk food." said Harold.
"I know. I'm sorry. Um, dads? May I be excused?" asked Clyde.
"...Sure Clyde. We'll save your dinner for later." said Howard.
Clyde then got up from the table and went to his room. His cats, Cleopawtra and Nepurrtiti, followed him inside.
"*sighs as he closes the door* I don't know what to do guys. *sits on his bed* I wanna help the Louds, but...I don't wanna put them in danger." said Clyde.
Cleopawtra meowed.
"Or myself in danger. What would my dads do if I got hurt out there?" said Clyde.
Nepurrtiti meowed this time.
"But...I can't just not help them. I feel like I should do something! These nanites didn't come to me for no reason right?" said Clyde.
His cats just stared at him with blank expressions.
"*sighs* I feel like I'm overthinking things again." said Clyde, standing to his feet again.
He walked a few steps and noticed his backpack resting on a chair.
*Clyde walks over and takes out the helmet*
At this point, he started to remember statements that were said by Lincoln that day.
"Me and my family can't do it all on our own. Sometimes even heroes need help."
"Clyde, if it wasn't for you...things might've turned out differently."
"You were a real hero today Clyde."
Clyde then took a deep breath as he put on the helmet.
"Nanites! Suit formation!" said Clyde, as the nanites flew out of his backpack and some bonded to him to form his suit.
"Huh. It still worked! That command sounds way cooler." said Clyde.
Clyde's cats suddenly let out worried meows.
"Don't worry guys. I'll be back." said Clyde, as he opened his bedroom window and hopped out of it.
"Now, how am I gonna get there quick enough?" asked Clyde to himself.
Suddenly, the nanites floating around Clyde joined with his suit to form insect wings on his back.
"Whoa! Wings?! What can't you guys do?" said Clyde, as he took off into the sky, heading for Digi-Tech.
