The day had approached dusk as Ground Breaker headed to the Crystal Theater, and to her surprise, it was crawling with Underground. Once a part of the roof was clear, she jumped down to take a look at the entrance she could use; the hatch was electrified, with no way to get it open without accessing the system. Spider-Girl walked over to the console that was next to the hatch; it needed an access key card to open it.

Ground Breaker muttered to herself, “One of the Underground guys must have a key; time to ask around.” She jumped up to a vantage point to scope out the area, she counted a total of seven guys on the roof.

When one went off on his own, Apple Bloom seized the opportunity to take him out. She shot two rock shards down to his shoulders, she then pulled him up to her, making him drop his gun; Twilight knocked him out before tying him in webs.

Before leaving him, she quickly searched him for a key; sadly, he didn’t have one. All she could do was carry on looking.

Two thugs were distracted by talking to each other, a guy and a girl; the guy said, “So why can’t I meet your parents, are you embarrassed by me or something?”

“No babe, of them.” The girl one responded.

The guy sighed in relief until he saw his girl get pulled away by webs; before he could do anything, he was shot with an Impact Rock, sending him to a wall. The girl was then swung into him, sticking them there together.

Ground Breaker searched them both, “Still nothing.” She grunted.

Suddenly, across the roof, a door was thrown open; and a brute of a man marched out of it. He began barking orders at the Underground thugs, “We got a security alert, Ground Brekaer’s here; spread out and find her."

Twilight then thought to herself, ‘If anyone had a key card, it would be that guy; so now playing it safe was out of the question, it was time to attack with brute force.

After shooting a shard at them, she pulled herself forward and knocked the brute onto his back; she then leaped off him and was surrounded by the Underground. They each tried to attack her, but she would either dodge or counter the attack.

The first guy charged toward her, but she leaped over him and threw a punch on his back, pulling him back and throwing him into another. They were both knocked down, leaving just two guys left; and the brute, who had now got back up.

She began rapidly, firing rocks at the brute; Apple Bloom then shot a grapple line at him and pulled him forward; she swung him around like a wrecking ball, his weight made him perfect for knocking out the last two thugs. Once they were down, she let go of the web and sent the brute flying towards the wall; the webs stuck him to it like glue.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to stop him; the strength given to him by the Underground tech, allowed him to break free from the sticky stuff. Using the tech again, a mace and a shield materialized in his hands.

“Come at me, girly.” He taunted.

Ground Breaker was happy about that comment, and she had just noticed the brute thug was standing in front of the electrified hatch.

“Who needs a key card, when I do it the old fashion way?” she said to herself.

Jumping up into the air, Apple Bloom came down and full force kick to the brute and smashed right through it.

"Well, that didn't take too long," Ground Breaker said as investigated the large red machine in the middle of the room then Trevor called her.

Hey, I was thinking what if you and others told Alex that you're the Crusaders?

"One problem, not only did we lie about joining his club, but also we're the guys trying to stop you."

There are better ways, to deliver it.

She came across the large red machine in the middle of the room.

It was a large generator-looking device, which doubled as some kind of container;

There was a computer next to the machine, it looked like it was the controller.

"Can you access it?"

Sure give me a minute, really feel my gaming rig is underpowered right now.

"Alex's has gone full super-villain lair. You do see large-ass container right?"

Yep, 100% think the Nuform is there?

"Have a hunch, anything from the computer?"

Yeah, according to this, the machine wasn’t just going to store Nuform, it was going to super-charge it. But doing that would make it unstable.

"Which explode the bridge."

If Alex goes through with it, he'll blow up TAS Corp Plaza.

"How could he do such a thing?"

It's open to the public, so no one would get hurt.

"Even so, We can't let him do this!"

Ground Breaker back away from the monitor and was about the case until a voice caught her attention.

"The Nuform is mine!"

Suddenly, without warning; A figure came out of nowhere and tried to attack, she jumped of the way. A good thing too, because someone had leaped forward and smashed into the computer desk; Ground Breaker looked up at the one responsible, it was him, The Cyber-Knight.

He had the same tech as his minions, then formed a one-handed sword.

"You shouldn’t have come here.”

Ground Breaker came at him, but he was too fast for her attacks. Cyber-Knight lanch a grapple on her and threw her across the room. She tried to get up, but he quickly grabbed her slam her to the ground making her groan in pain, then The Cyber-Knight walked toward her with his sword at her neck.

"You had a lot of nerve coming here, I going to ask one question, Give me a good reason not to kill you."

Before she could answer another one had crashed the party it was Zavok.

"It's nice to see you again," The Zeti exclaimed as he grabbed both of them and sent both into a wall knocking them out. "Lights out."
