The Adventures of the
God Squad
Episode 57 "The Hacker"
At last Malla was defeated, and we would have peace for a good year, but always a new threat arises when one falls. The strength and fortification of my fortress was now being doubted after the incident with Omega. I was worried about more villains like him, but I trusted that God would protect us.
(Theme Song)
During a patrol, some of my security spotted a masked man who entered a store and left with 2 heaping shopping bags of money! No alarms in the building were activated, so they followed him. He got on a bike and turned on the motor. "Stop, thief!" they shouted. He buzzed away, but they perused him. They chased him through the city, until he made a sharp left turn at a corner, but when the cops did, they were run over by a train! A few of the cops who were able to get over the train continued the chase, but the thief entered a building and hacked the door so that it would close. One of the cops just barely slid under the door and continued to chase him. Finally he activated a series of bombs on the ceiling and soon the last cop was covered in ruble.
The criminal left no trace of himself or any clues as to where he went, hence the building blowing up and him abandoning his bike and going on foot, leaving no footprints. This was an impossible case, but I knew that if something like this happened again, we would catch him. The cops told us that the criminal wasn't very tall and didn't look very strong, but was definitely crafty and smart. They also told us that a small piece of paper was found on the bike; the paper was white and had a black circle on it with a red bug in the middle. "I guess were looking for a new super hacker." I said readying my equipment and team. It puzzled me, my officers, and even my scientist how fast and how amazing this criminal's hacking abilities were. The hacker was also able to jam our communications so the cops couldn't call for back up, and anyone who is capable of doing all that, is a force to be reckoned with.
Since all my computer and electronics engineers were stumped and had no idea how this guy was able to do it all, I decided that it was time to visit an old friend of mine: my brother Ilia (ee-l-ee-ya). I asked him for his help and that he would receive a reward for his work. He gladely accepted my offer, so I took him into the master control-computer room. My brother was amazed at the technology that we had and my experts were in complete awe of his computer and hacking skills. Basically, the way to show how amazing he was, is that he made my expert's work look like a child's video game. Ilia told us that judging by the technology available in Slugterra a device the size that the thief used could not have possibly been able to hack that well and quickly, only a master computer system and an incredible genius in hacking and computer hardware and software would be able to do something like that. He did notice a slight flaw that our mystery hacker made during his hacking and told us that he would be able to track the hacking signal to its source, but it would take time.
After 5 days of searching and tracking, Ilia was able to track the signal to a small area, but wasn't able to get a closer lock; he assumed it was either in a cave or underground. I asked him if he could monitor us and alert us if we were falling into a trap or were going to be attacked. Once we reached the checkpoint, we looked for an entrance. I scanned the area for any secret buttons, panels, levers, anything. We found a small hole in the wall, so I put my hand through it and pulled a lever which opened a part of the wall. We entered a room of about 10 yards in length and at the end of the room was what looked like some type of well. I knew that if wouldn't be this simple so we scanned the room to see if there really was more to it than met the eye. After our scans indicated that there were tiles hidden on the floor, we stepped our way to the other side without a hitch. We took out the cameras in the room and continued our journey to apprehend our criminal. We turned a wheel on the well which opened the wall, and revealed a long pentagonal hallway, mostly of metal beams and wires and a grid floor.
We walked until we found a large metal-safe door, but it was locked and the only way to get through for us was by smashing it down. "I guess we'll have to knock." Said Noah, as he loaded his blaster. We all shot Ramstones, but they didn't even leave a mark on the door! "Let's try this again." Said Mahju as we all loaded our most powerful fusion shot slugs. We fired all the fusion shots we had, but it would still take another shot like that to open the door!
As we loaded and waited for our weapons to recharge, we began to hear creaking further down the tunnel. We all smiled, put away our blasters, and took out our melee weapons. The tunnel went black, so we switched to night-vision, but as soon as we did, warriors pounced from the bars and attacked, but the fight was a joke! We defeated over 50 of them in less than 10 minutes! I called Ilia and asked if there was another way around, but before I even finished my question, he hacked the doors mainframe system and opened them. "Thanks bro." I said smiling entering the master control room. In front of the computer was a large black chair and the room was dark and the room was only 5 bridges which all connected to the chair and keyboard (One bridge coming from the left, another from the right side, one from behind the chair and one in between the left and middle and another in between the right and middle). In front was a large bright screen and we heard a low voice telling us to leave. "Leave now, and you won't be hurt." The voice said. "You really expect us to leave? We just took out 50 of your troops in less than 10 min man! Give me a break!" I said as I turned the chair around, but the only thing sitting there was a robot! "I warned you!" I said as one arm became a blaster and the other a sword.
We fought and destroyed the robot and noticed that the right door was open; we assumed it was the escape route for our mystery hacker. We followed the passage, but it only led us to an empty garage with old bike tracks on the ground. "You win this time hacker, but mark my words, we will catch you." I said as I walked out the garage calmly with big explosions (bombs which blew up the garage) making us look all awesome!
