The sun had barely risen when the first report came in. A young street vendor in Old Quay noticed her at the edge of the park, standing perfectly still, watching the new Halo monument that gleamed in the morning light.

She wore a simple coat, pale and unremarkable, and carried nothing. Yet something about her, the tilt of her head, the calm posture, made the vendor pause mid-step.

“Excuse me,” he called, but the woman did not turn. He took another step toward her, but when he blinked, she was

    In the exact center of the massive room stood Caelum. The dictator was huge. He was fifteen feet tall. But he did not look like a man in armor anymore. He was a shifting, twisting nightmare of black geometric shapes. Giant black squares and sharp triangles floated around his body. Glowing red lines connected the shapes. He had no face. He only had two burning red lights where his eyes should be. Caelum had his massive hands plunged directly into the main server console. Thick, glowing red wires of code poured out of his arms and into the computers. Jayden stared at the monster. "Caelum," Jayden said. His plain human voice was calm, but it cut clearly through the loud humming of the servers. The giant monster stopped typing. The shifting black blocks of his head slowly turned around. The two burning red eyes locked onto Jayden. "Ah," Caelum’s voice buzzed. It did not come from a mouth. It echoed from the air itself. It sounded like heavy metal grinding against glass. "The broken

    The swirling blue and purple portal snapped shut with a loud hiss. Jayden and little Arthur fell out of the bright light. They landed hard on the cold, dirty tiles of an old, abandoned subway station in New York City. The air smelled like old dust and wet concrete. Jayden rolled to his feet. He helped the ten-year-old boy stand up. Arthur was shivering in his oversized brown winter coat. He held the silver flask tightly against his chest. "We made it," Jayden whispered. His plain brown eyes scanned the dark subway platform. "We are back in Manhattan."From the silver flask in Arthur’s hands, a small blue light glowed. The tiny digital hologram of Eli appeared. The old man looked incredibly tired. His blue light was flickering. "Listen to me, kid," Eli’s rough, static-filled voice echoed in the quiet tunnel. "Caelum is already here. He flew across the country faster than we thought. He did not go to the Central Spire. He did not go to the crater."Jayden frowned. He pulled his torn

    Eli was attacking the virus. But a digital ghost is very fragile. Every time Eli hit the red code, sparks of black static flew off his blue avatar. Eli screamed in pain as his own memory files began to burn. "Eli, stop!" Jayden yelled, seeing his friend’s avatar crack and glitch. "You will destroy yourself again!""I am already dead, kid!" Eli laughed through the pain. "Let an old man do his job!"Eli grabbed the massive, invisible root of the red virus. With a mighty, digital roar, Eli pulled with all his strength. KABOOOOOOOM! A massive explosion of blue and red static ripped through the town square. The shockwave blew the snow away, exposing the bare, cracked pavement. The glowing red snake of code wrapped around Jayden’s arm shattered like glass. The connection was broken. Jayden fell backward onto the cold, wet pavement. The white light stopped pouring from his chest. He gasped loudly, pulling huge breaths of freezing winter air into his burning lungs. He was exhausted. He

    Instantly, thick, jagged lines of glowing red computer code exploded from her forehead. The red code shot outward, wrapping tightly around Jayden’s arm like a burning, electric snake. "AGGGGH!" Jayden roared in shock and pain. He tried to pull his arm back, but the red code was incredibly strong. It locked his hand to her head. The trap was sprung. Caelum had not just deleted the city. He had left a highly advanced, deeply hidden computer virus inside the empty brain of the Anchor. It was a digital landmine. It was designed to trigger the exact moment a powerful magical user tried to heal her. And Jayden had just stepped right on it. "I told you!" Eli shouted in panic. The old hacker’s blue hologram flickered wildly. "It is a parasitic siphon! Pull away, Jayden!""I can't!" Jayden yelled through his teeth. The red code burned through the sleeve of his grey coat. It melted into his skin. It did not feel like physical pain. It did not break his bones. It felt like someone had o

    Jayden walked up to a man standing near a parked car. The man held a snow shovel in his hands. He was frozen in the exact middle of swinging the shovel. The snow on the shovel had not fallen off. Jayden looked closely at the man’s face. The man was not breathing. His chest did not move up and down. But he was not dead. Jayden could see the faint, slow pulse of a heartbeat in the man’s neck. But the man’s eyes were horrifying. They were completely wide open. The white parts of his eyes were gone. His entire eyeballs were pitch black. Deep inside the blackness, tiny, glowing red squares of computer code spun and shifted. "He is locked out of his own body," Jayden whispered. "Caelum severed the Anchor," Eli’s voice whispered from the silver flask in Arthur’s hands. A small blue hologram of Eli appeared, walking next to them. "When Caelum cut the central router of the city, the psychic backlash hit every single brain in town. Their minds were instantly disconnected from the System,

    The silver flask in little Arthur’s hand began to glow. Jayden and Arthur stood in the dark, rainy alley in New York City. They had just escaped the chaos of the streets. Jayden was preparing to walk toward the giant crater to fight the Devourer. But before he could take another step, the silver flask buzzed loudly. A bright beam of blue light shot out of the top of the metal flask. The light hit the wet brick wall of the alley and expanded. It formed the shape of an old man in a thick brown leather jacket. It was the digital ghost of Eli. "Eli," Jayden said, his plain brown eyes widening in surprise. "You are inside the flask?"The blue hologram of the old hacker smiled a sad, tired smile. "I am everywhere, kid," Eli’s rough voice crackled from the small speaker on the flask. "I am a ghost in the global machine now. I uploaded my brain to the network before my bunker exploded. Arthur has a projection drive inside that flask.""Grandpa," Arthur whispered, hugging the cold metal fl
