Zed, the Lioness, and the Caped Cadet, led by Agent F7, entered an old abandoned warehouse, a known hiding spot of the Infamous Bedlam Gang. When they got there, they found nothing. They hunted around, looking for any clue that may link the IBG to Johnny's warning.
Cadet: "Hey, guys! Over here!"
They all rushed over to find Cadet holding some kind of burnt paper. He handed it to Agent F7.
Agent F7: "I can only make out some of the words. It's burnt too badly. It says time travel, Lexicon, Armageddon... and down the bottom, Johnny Monolith and Hypertime Entity. Guys, I think we're on to something."
Elsewhere, Hardy New-Born led new members Digigrrl and Natsuko to Johnny Monolith's house, the place he lived when he wasn't with the League. On the way there, Natsuko and Digigrrl were talking about how excited they were to be in the League.
Natsuko: "Wow... the Meta Board League... I'm sitting right here with Rhyme Guardian..."
HNB: "It's Hardy New-Born, now."
Natsuko: "Why?"
HNB: "Long story."
Digigrrl: "I know what you mean, Natsuko. We're sitting right here with the leader of the MBL, one of the greatest metaheros ever. We were just in the headquarters with people like Agent F7, and Nightwatch, and Caped Cadet..."
New-Born just smiled.
They reached Johnny's place and found it a burning wreck.
HNB: "It looks like someone attacked him. There was some sort of battle here."
They sifted through the wreckage for clues.
"Wait! Stop! HNB, Natsuko, don't go into the rubble." Digigrrl started to heat up, and soon her body was just a mass of atoms circling the ex-mansion.
Natsuko: "What's going on?"
HNB: "I have no idea..."
Digigrrl slowed down and reformed into a human state. "Hey, guys, check this out!" She held out a flask of really angry, low-level molecules.
HNB: "That looks like..."
Natsuko: "Oh, shit, that's a virus. Airborne, too, fuck! I thought we had killed this already, but that was thousands of years ago. I thought we took all the necessary precautions to STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. Augh."
HNB: "Natsuko, explain yourself."
Meanwhile, somewhere in tesseract 83470a:
55435: "All these code numbers are getting difficult to remember. Yesterday, I woke up and thought that I was my dog. In fact, I think I was my dog. Hey, maybe I am my dog. That's cool."
55832: "Why do I bring you with me? Here we are in a fold in the fabric of time, with the ultimate tool of destruction at our fingertips, and all you can do is indulge in pathetic animal fantasies. All I need you for is the genetic anomaly that causes your stupidity. Why can't I keep DNA alive without the host? Why did I skip so much school?"
55435: "Woof."
