As Ignis arrives at the Station, he casually walks right in through the front doors, approaching the first person he sees.
"Hey, you, what would you say the most flammable part of this place is?" Ignis asks, and Wanted Woo turns around, pondering the question for a moment.
"Well, that's an odd question, but I'd have to say Word Woo's office." Wanted Woo responds, pointing a thumb at Word Woo's cardboard cubicle. Word Woo doesn't acknowledge the comment, and Ignis simply nods.
"Alright, what about on the outside? Anything particularly flammable there?"
"Nothing comes to mind." Wanted Woo watches as Ignis walks out, shrugging off the encounter. Meanwhile, across the street, Cyberspace Warrior has also come to get his revenge on the Station, and he watches as Ignis activates his Stand, causing the ground around the Station to immediately begin rising in temperature. Seeing this as the perfect chance to take down the Station once and for all, Cyberspace Warrior brings out Virtual Insanity, and uses it to crank up the flammability of the Station to max, as well as turning the "wackiness" meter to about half of its max value. Immediately, the Station seems to begin to warp and distort in unpredictable manners. Alpha Flystander watches as the walls of his cell begin to warble and catch fire, and he dramatically takes off his triple shades with a shaking hand.
"Not like this." Flystander whispers, as Warden Woo just stares at him, ignoring the ongoing chaos and devoting his attention to making sure the prisoner remains contained. Word Woo smells the smoke and quickly picks up his office, telling the other officers to evacuate before running outside and away from the fire. Wanted Woo realizes he may have made a big oopsie, but he chooses to keep quiet about it, and calmly heads outside, followed by Wheel Woo. Woo Hoo quickly puts a bag over his head and flips his nametag to face the other way, rushing outside, while Dr. Woo casually walks out after him, toting with him the Water Robit, which he had retrieved from the parallel universe it was being kept in shortly after returning to the Station. Warden Woo doesn't leave, grabbing a gas mask and putting it on so he can continue to dutifully watch over Flystander. Finally, Wee Woo rushes out, with his newly replaced Whappin' Stick in hand. He tries to use Synchronicity to counteract the arson, but the flames keep coming back faster than Synchronicity can make them disappear. The rest of the officers head far enough away to not be in the range of Fire Burning on the Dance Floor, but Ignis doesn't follow them, seemingly being more interested in finishing the job he came here for. Wee Woo charges towards Ignis, but as he gets closer, his shoes melt to the ground, forcing him to lunge forwards in order to WHAP Ignis with his Whappin' Stick. Ignis is caught off guard, and falls to the ground, forcing him to disable his Stand since only his feet are fireproof while it's active. The already-started fire is raging too much to be stopped, though, even by Synchronicity's continued efforts. Flystander's flesh begins to bubble and melt, giving off acidic fumes as his body continues to degrade into a puddle. As Warden Woo continues to stand guard, Flystander uses his last moments to hold up his hand, giving a thumbs up before he disappears completely into three puddles making up the remains of his body. Warden Woo continues standing guard despite this, not trusting the puddles to remain contained without his oversight.
Joshua F. Kennedy watches sorrowfully from outside as the Station goes up in flames, knowing it to be too late to do anything to help. Ignis simply snickers, looking at Wee Woo.
"Good thing that SantaMaria guy told me where this place was, I never would've found it otherwise!" Ignis says, before getting up and leaving the scene, while Wee Woo is still frozen in furious shock. Overwhelmed with rage, Wee Woo vaguely remembers that name as being associated with the WCL, so he storms off towards their headquarters to deliver justice. Cyberspace Warrior recalls Virtual Insanity, watching as the flames peter out. A loud thud can be heard as Warden Woo's burnt corpse crashes to the ground in the basement of what's left of the building. Wee Woo kicks down the door of the WCL headquarters, and sees Mugsy, Chiminal, Bunny, and Bunny's Shadow all playing poker at a table, using Mugsy's meatballs in place of poker chips.
"ALRIGHT, which one of you is named SantaMaria?" Wee Woo demands, slapping his Whappin' Stick against his palm.
"Why do you wanna know?" Bunny's Shadow asks, and Wee Woo immediately cracks his Whappin' Stick against his head, knocking him out instantly and turning to the rest. Bunny raises his hands in the air, dropping his cards.
"Dude, what the hell? He just asked you a question. That was super unnecessary." Bunny says. Wee Woo sneers at him, but before he can whap him, Mugsy speaks up.
"Pretty sure that's Czuch's last name."
"The bus driver? Where is he?" Wee Woo demands.
"Last I saw, he was driving through the city all alone. Not sure where he was going, though." Bunny says.
"Any way I could find him?" Wee Woo asks, having a bit of trouble keeping his cool.
"His bus pulled up outside just a bit ago, it sometimes does that when he isn't using it. You could probably trace the tire tracks to see where it came from." Mugsy says, which is enough for Wee Woo. Wee Woo heads outside, locating the bus parked nearby. He follows the loose guide provided by the scattered tire tracks until he eventually finds the street where Czuch died, which is still partly flooded. Czuch's waterlogged, frostbitten corpse is in the middle of the road, and Talking Point is also still in the area, though Wee Woo doesn't see him for obvious reasons. While Wee Woo is inspecting Czuch's body, Cryo walks over to him, pretending to be an ordinary civilian.
"Hello, officer! Do you have the time?" Cryo casually asks, with his hands folded behind his back.
"Uh, yeah, it's around-"
"Don't actually answer that, it was a rhetorical question. I just noticed your badge and was wondering if it was real. Are you actually from the Station, all the way out here? It's an honor!"
Upon having his badge pointed out, Wee Woo smiles, adjusting his posture to show it off.
"Why, yes, I-" The moment Wee Woo starts talking again, Cryo slaps Born Slippy onto Wee Woo's chest, and it latches on there, immediately beginning to freeze Wee Woo over while Cryo runs away. Wee Woo quickly radios up Wanted Woo, calling him to the scene for backup. Wanted Woo arrives shortly, immediately noticing Czuch's body, and thinking about calling up the WCL to tell them. Of course, he first has to wait for Wee Woo to not be around, which seems like it will be pretty soon at this rate.
"Weeb, stay here. Watch the crime scene. I'm gonna catch this guy." Wee Woo grunts, before running after Cryo. Once Wee Woo is out of earshot, Wanted Woo calls up the WCL, and Cybr picks up on the other end.
"Czuch is dead, and Wee Woo is under attack. Obviously a Stand attack, looks like the ability has something to do with ice. Any advice?" Wanted Woo reports, glancing around frantically as he awaits a response.
"Ice...earlier, while I was tapping into their communications, they mentioned someone with the codename 'Tundra'. Sounds like a match to me. I'll get right back to you." Cybr says, before continuing soon after. "Name: Cryo. Codename: TUNDRA. Position: High Eliminator Cryomancer. Active Assignments: Three. Successful Eliminations: Twenty three. Purpose: Take out isolated Targets, while leaving minimal evidence of a crime. Specialty: Long-distance attacks; hit-and-run tactics."
"Three assignments...Czuch must have been one of them, and I'm guessing Wee Woo is another. They must have somehow known that he would come to find Czuch after the Station got burned down. Did I mention the Station got burned down? Because that happened. I think these guys might be going on the full offensive, but we can take advantage of that. If they've already got all their guys deployed and going after specific targets, then taking them out first will greatly hinder their efforts. If we can finish off this guy now, then that's already one target they'll have to assign someone new to go after."
"Good thinking, but I don't think Wee Woo or his Stand will let you get away with murder. The best we can hope for right now is incapacitating this guy, and maybe tracking his movements and communications to see if he tips us off to any other upcoming attacks."
"You have a point. Alright, gonna go make sure Wee Woo doesn't die." Wanted Woo hangs up, running in the direction he saw Wee Woo go. After crossing through an alleyway, Wanted Woo sees Wee Woo on the ground, frozen in place and struggling to move.
"HEY! I told you to keep your eyes on the crime scene!" Wee Woo yells, but Wanted Woo shakes his head.
"Stopping this guy is more important, and you're in no state to do so. I think he can only target one person at a time. All I need to do is catch up to him and use Caramelldansen to stop him in his tracks, and then I can incapacitate him and we can have Dr. Woo fix you up." Wanted Woo explains, not waiting for a response before grabbing Wee Woo's Whappin' Stick and chasing after Cryo. Cryo sees Wanted Woo gaining on him, and narrows his eyes, before smirking and running straight for a nearby crowd to use as cover. As he runs, though, Cryo realizes that he isn't actually moving anywhere, and is just running in place due to the effect of Caramelldansen, as Wanted Woo catches up to him. Wanted Woo wastes no time in cracking the Whappin' Stick over Cryo's head, before dropping the stick and just uppercutting Cryo with his fist, knocking Cryo out and sending him hurtling into a nearby dumpster. Born Slippy disappears, and the ice on Wee Woo melts as Wanted Woo rushes back over, returning Wee Woo's Whappin' Stick and helping him up to lead him back to the other officers from the Station. He glances back at the dumpster Cryo is unconscious in, but knows that he can't take any further action while Wee Woo is around, and that with the Station burned down and Warden Woo dead, they can't take Cryo prisoner. Wanted Woo sighs, but just moves along, not dwelling on the situation.
Back at the WCL, Cybr decides to do a bit more research on the Order, and begins typing into the computer.

Cybr takes mental note of this, before heading back up to El Diablo's computer, which he's finally finished working on. He types an activation command onto the terminal, and presses enter.
