♬ 81 - The Vanishing (Part 1)

in the training area.

McKayla and Luke enter the training area "Good morning everyone!" McKayla says with a wildly smile "Just for you tho" a student says "Uhg!' another groans, and McKayla makes a frustrated face.

"Told ya no one is happy on a Monday morning you weirdo" Luke says, McKayla rolls her eyes, Bob runs in "I'm here, I'm here!" Bob says.

"Bob, you're late again." Chase says "Hey, it's not my fault I overslept. It's Bree's." Bob says "Excuse me?!" Luke quickly walks over to them "What?! How is it my fault?" Bree asks.

"You keep showin' up in my dreams." Bob says "Weird" McKayla says "Yeah" Chase scoffs "Good thing she'll never know about my dreams" he thinks.

Donald and Douglas walk in, giggling with excitement "What's up with you? Someone asked you to prom?" Leo says sarcastically "No. But thanks for opening up old wounds." Douglas says.

"Aw you know, if I studied with you I would ask you to prom" McKayla says "We know you don't need to study or even a prom for you to do that" Chase says annoyed, McKayla frowns.

"After countless hours of research and development, Douglas and I have finally perfected the most amazing bionic operating system upgrade ever!" Donald says "Ugh, I woke up for this?" Bob says "I'll never let you sleep again" Luke says threateningly and Bob doesn't even know why.

"This upgrade is gonna be like going from motor scooters to jet engines. It'll make all of your abilities 10 times more powerful." Douglas says "An upgrade, huh? Well, I'm not sure you can make my leg anymore powerful, but go ahead; give it a go." Leo kicks the air.

"Sorry, Leo, the upgrade only works on people with bionic chips." Donald says "What?" Leo says "Be grateful you have a bionic arm and a bionic leg. That's all you're getting. Well, at least until your next horrific accident." Donald laughs.

Leo galres at him "Yeah Leo, be grateful, you could be like old Luke here who only has a screwdriver and a dream" Adam says hugging Luke "Uh, thanks?" Luke says "Keep dreaming little buddy" Adam pats him on the back.

"Mr. Davenport, are you sure that this new upgrade is safe? I mean, some of our students haven't even mastered their bionics at the current level." Chase says "Yeah, Mr. Davenport, I know you want to give us like, the coolest thing ever, but do you have to?" Bree makes a mocking pout, Chase galres at her annoyed.

"Don't worry. I built in a skill app that allows the students to master their amped-up abilities instantly." Donald says "Wow, you really think about everything" McKayla says "Bottom line, this upgrade is the best thing that Donnie and I have ever created together." Douglas smiels.

"I am so proud of you!" Douglas says "No, I'm proud of you!" Donald tells Douglas "I'm proud of you!" Douglas says "I'm proud of you!" Donald says "Hey, hey! You know what'll make us all proud? If you two go back to hating each other.." Bree stops them.

"You guys are just acting like Chase and Luke" Adam says, they both frown "What?" They both say "Jinx!" Chase says before Luke, who groans in frustration.

"Stop, Bree." Bob says, they look at him sleeping standing up "You're embarrassing yourself." Bob says, Luke pats Chase's arm in silence "you know the rules you can't say anything before someone says your name" Chase smirks, Luke cries.

"Oh, sweet girl, you don't have to beg. I'll allow you to kiss me" Bob says sleepwalking, Luke pokes McKayla annoyed with Bob "It won't happen, Cousin" McKayla laughs, Luke rolls his eyes.

"Okay, I'll wake him up." Adam says "Nope, I got this." Bree super speeds out of the room and brings back a training dummy, Bree puts it in front of Bob and he starts kissing it "Hm. They actually make a cute couple." Adams says.

In the training area.


Donald walks in,while Douglas finishes installing the upgrades on the students "How's it going with the upgrade?" Donald asks "I'll let you be the judge. Go ahead, Jenny. Show him how powerful you are now." Douglas tells the student standing next to him.

Jenny launches fire from her hands, burning the floor between Donald's legs and he jumps and yelps "Wow, that is powerful. You just made an old man jump." Adam chuckles

"Aw Man I wanted an upgrade like that" Luke says "You already got your upgrade yesterday when you ran all over the island chasing that cockroach without fainting at the end" McKayla says with a smile.

"It was worth it because Bree is scared of cockroaches and I was a hero for her after that" Luke thinks, Bree smiles when she hears the conversation "I'm not afraid of cockroaches but it was cute to see him chase one for me" she thinks.

"Well, that's the last of the students." Douglas says "Oh, great. I'll do Adam, Bree and Chase." Donald says "Yeah, you do that, and the guy who really needs the upgrade will just stand right over here, wishing he was actually part of a family." Leo says frustrated.

"Don't worry, Leo. I am working on something very special just for you." Donald says "Really?" Leo smiles "How would you like to be the proud owner of the world's first bionic nostril?" Donald points to Leo's nose.

"I'm afraid to ask what so many bionic nostrils are capable of" McKayla frowns "Bionic nostril? You can't be serious...I'm considering it; we'll talk." Leo walks away.

"You know maybe I could...." "No Luke" Donald says, Luke groans and throws his head back "Look, you're already very valuable. You don't need bionics, the same goes for your cousin" Donald says.

The pair of cousins look at each other and smile "Really?" They say "Yes, believe me your moment will come, I promise. Until then, focus on your human abilities and don't be intimidated by bionics" Donald says

"Wow okay then, you're in charge Mr Davenport" Leo smirk "Yeah, I'm flattered to know you think so" McKayla says gently, Donald smiles and pats Luke on the shoulder before walking over to Adam, Bree and Chase.

"Okay, Adam, we'll do you first." Donald presses buttons on the machine that beeps and the upgrade doesn't work, Donald frowns.

"That's weird. The upgrade's not taking." Donald says "It's probably searching for his brain." Bree scoffs, Chase and Luke laugh lightly while McKayla shakes her head with a smile.

"Bree, let's try you." Donald says, Bree takes a step forward and the machine beeps again and the upgrade doesn't work.

"Chase." Donald says, machine beeps and the upgrade doesn't work again "How weird" McKayla says "I don't get it. Why isn't the upgrade working on any of them?" Donald says.

Douglas snaps his fingers "Probably because their bionics are first generation. We built the upgrade for the students infrastructure. It must not be compatible with their older systems." Douglas explains.

"There has to be some way you can adapt it." Chase says "I could probably work something up, but given how old your bionic architecture is, I'll never be able to match the power the students have." Douglas says.

"Who's old now?" Donald mocks "Do you know how to use IG?" McKayla smiles, Donald glares at her annoyed "Boomer" Luke mocks.

"So, let me get this straight. They all just became more powerful, and we're stuck like this forever?" Bree says "Oh, my, this certainly is a shame." Leo says pretending to disappoint, everyone glares at him.

"That's sad tho" McKayla crosses her arms, Chase nods "If all the students are more advanced than we are, then that means that Adam, Bree and I are...obsolete." Chase says and Adam and Bree look at each other.

In the common area.

The hydraloop opens and Daniel and a police officer walk in

"Uh-oh" McKayla says worriedly "Boy, here we go." Douglas walks up to them "Douglas Davenport." The officer says "Officer Nichols." Douglas chuckles "I haven't seen you since I scaled that wall." Douglas says.

"You said you left for good behavior" McKayla says "I told you a lot of things girl" Douglas says quickly, McKayla rolls her eyes.

"This your son?" The officer asks "Maybe. Can you tell me what he did first, and then I'll let you know?" Douglas says "He's been running all over town shooting fire from his eyes." The officer says.

"Yeah, I've never seen him before in my life." Douglas says "He should be going to juvenile detention, but that's the last place I want a punk with bionics, so I'm giving him another chance, as long as you promise to keep him under control." The officer says.

"Thank you, officer. I can promise you this won't happen again." Douglas says "I wouldn't make a promise that can't be kept like that" McKayla presses her lips together.

"Good. 'Cause I don't want to come back here again. You machine people freak me out." The officer says "Eh you officers freak us out as well" McKayla says, the officer leaves via hydraloop.

Donald walks up to Douglas "What were thinking letting him leave this academy with his bionics activated?" Donald says "He promised me he wouldn't use 'em unless it was completely necessary!" Douglas turns to Daniel.

"Oh, come on, you can't give me bionics and expect me not to use 'em." Daniel says "That's not the point Daniel" McKayla says, Leo frowns..

"He has a point. You know, when I first got my bionics...""Quiet, Leo!" Douglas interrupts "All righty, then." Leo walks away.

"Do your adoptive parents know that you've been causing trouble with your bionics?" Douglas asks Daniel "No. They don't get this whole bionic thing. That's why I asked the officer to bring me here." Daniel says.

Donald pulls Douglas aside "What are you going to do here, Douglas? This is your first chance to really step up in this kid's life and be a dad." Donald says, McKayla smiles slightly at him in agreement

"You're right. Daniel..." Douglas pushes Donald in front of him "Meet your new dad." Douglas smiles, McKayla rolls her eyes and puts her hand on Douglas' shoulder "Douglas come on. I know it's scary and maybe you don't feel prepared for it, but you're going to be a great father" McKayla says.

"Why do you say that?" Douglas says "Because you have a good heart and I can see that Daniel is inspired by you and loves you, just your support will mean a lot to him" McKayla says she gives a gentle smile.

Douglas smirk "You're a very mature girl, you know you remind me of a girl I had a crush on when I was in high school" Douglas says "Uh R-really?" McKayla asks "Yeah, she was smart, pretty, just like you" Douglas says, McKayla blushes "You...Do you think I'm pretty?" McKayla twirls her hair around her finger.

Leo clears his throat loudly "Oh Yeah right um...you're going to be a great father" McKayla says nervously trying to compose herself "Fine." Douglas walks up to Daniel.

"What's up with you and this weird thing with Douglas?" Leo asks McKayla "What move?" McKayla says, Leo tilts his head, McKayla shrugs "Well, he's cute...it makes me embarrassed...I really don't know" McKayla thinks slightly worried about herself.

"Look, since I can't trust you to be responsible with your bionics, I guess we'll just have to teach you how to be responsible. As long as your parents approve, I'm enrolling you in the Davenport Bionic Academy." Douglas tells Daniel "Really? Awesome!" Daniel says.

"And, since Leo has been doing such a great job as the academy's newest mentor, I think it's only fitting that he train our newest student." Douglas takes Daniel to Leo "Thanks, Douglas." Leo smiles.

"No problem, buddy. See, this way, if it doesn't work out, we can all blame you." Douglas laughs and leaves, Leo makes a frustrated look and looks at McKayla who holds back a laugh.

In the common area seating section.

Chase is sitting at a table in thought while Adam reads a magazine and Bree paces around.

"We've dedicated our entire lives to being bionic heroes, and now, we don't even matter." Bree sits on the chair "Yeah. When you think about it, it's like we've been training our own replacements." Chase says.

"Guys, what's with the doom and gloom? I'm actually okay with it. In fact, I've been checking out some retirement communities, and they're awesome. Look." Adam shows them a magazine "This one has railings on the toilets." Adam smiles.

Bree scoffs "Retirement? No way. I'm a teenager. I haven't even gotten my driver's license yet!" Bree says "Agree, I haven't even gotten many things yet" Chase shrugs.

"Oh, don't worry, you won't need it. Most of these old folks' homes don't even let you drive. But get this. There's a van that'll take you to the market twice a week." Adam says excitedly.

"We're not retiring." Chase gets up and walks to the other side of the room "I'm gonna figure out a way to give us an upgrade. And not only that, I'm gonna make sure it's even better than everyone else's. After all, I am the smartest man in the world." Chase says cocky.

"Not anymore, you has-been." Bree says sarcastically, Chase glares at her "Whoa! This place come with people who will change your pants. Now that's easy living." Adam says "Maybe we should just send Adam to a retirement community" Chase thinks.

In the common area.

McKayla and Chase are sitting at the console while Chase types on a computer, focused.

McKayla said, "I'm sorry the whole upgrade thing didn't work" McKayla says "I'll figure it out" Chase says without looking up from the computer.

"Don't you think you're stressing too much about this?" McKayla says "I'm fine" Chase says automatically "You look really stressed" McKayla frowns, Chase shrugs.

McKayla smirk "Isn't there anything I can do to make you relax?" McKayla asks softly "No" Chase says dryly, McKayla sighs annoyed "Got it. If I reconfigure the operator precedence, that should fix the upgrade." Chase presses a button.

The laptop beeps and Chase gets up and starts yelling, Chase smashes laptop "Damn!" McKayla frowns in alarm, Chase starts stomping on pieces "You stupid hunk of junk! You're useless! Useless! Useless!" Chase shouts.

McKayla and the students stare at him "Do you mind? This is a private moment between a man and his computer." Chase says "Weird but it's not the first time I've heard him say that" McKayla frowns.

Chase looks at her "But you're welcome to join me" Chase tries to regain his bearings with a wink kicking away the pieces.

"That was really weird I'd rather pretend it never happened" McKayla says frustrated, Chase glares at her annoyed.

Bree walks in

"Guys, have you seen my students?" Bree asks "Nope." Chase says.

"Huh. We were supposed to start training an hour ago. And today's lesson is very important. It's called "You're not better than me."" Bree says annoyed, McKayla rolls her eyes.

Adam walks in wearing a golf hat and a kilt, and holding a golf club "What the...?" McKayla makes a confused face.

"Hey, has anybody seen Bob? Leo said he was training a little while ago, but hasn't seen him since. Now that I'm retiring, I need to know if he can play golf with me on Thursdays." Adam says "I can't believe he's actually wearing a kilt. Ew" McKayla thinks.

"Wait, no. First, my students are missing, and now Bob? Something weird is going on. I'm gonna go look for everyone." Bree walks out of room

Chase looks at Adam "Speaking of weird, why are you wearing that?" Chase asks "The hat? 'Cause I am golfer." Adam says it like it's obvious, Chase rolls his eyes "I think he meant the kilt." McKayla says.

"Oh. Because somebody changing my pants is easy living, This is what I call" Adam moves hips in a circle "breezy living." Adam laughs "Ew gross" McKayla says, Chase walks up behind her and covers her eyes "Ugh!" Chase says in disgust, McKayla giggles at him covering her eyes.

In the common area.

Luke and Bree walk in "Mr. Davenport, we have a problem. I can't find my students anywhere." Bree says "It's true, we looked all over the island and nothing" Luke says.

"Well, are you sure they're not just avoiding your training session? I mean, I've sat through your class. We all think you could use a little pizzazz." Donald tells Bree "Stop her training sessions are great!" Luke says, Bree smiles.

"She looks cute bossing others around" Luke thinks "I didn't know he watched my training sessions, but it's cute" Bree thinks.

Leo and Daniel come running in "Big D, all the students in the training area just vanished." Leo says "What?" Donald says "Wait so everyone is disappearing?" McKayla says.

Adam walks in "Bob's gone, too. And I can't lose my Bob. We have an 8:00 a.m. tea time." Adam says, McKayla frowns at him.

"All right, everybody calm down. There has to be a logical explanation." Chase says, the rest of the students and Daniel vanish from the common area "Or not." Chase says worriedly.

"Daniel!" Douglas says "Oh no" McKayla says "What's going on?" Luke says "Everybody's gone! What are we going to do?" Leo says.

"What do you mean, "we"? I'm retired." Adam starts to leave "Adam! Get your old ass back here!" McKayla says angry and worried, Adam groans and returns.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

Bree super speeds back to them.


"I double-checked the whole academy. All the students are gone." Bree says "The new upgrade must have caused the glitch that made them geo-leap away." Donald says.

"Wait what? This is terrible!" McKayla says "But Daniel disappeared and we didn't give him the upgrade." Douglas says "Technically, that is correct. You did not give him the upgrade." Leo says nervously.

"Leo!" Douglas says "That kid was impossible to train. And trust me, I happen to know a thing or two about slow learners." Leo says, Chase scoffs "Then try training Luke" Chase says, Luke glares at him.

"I specifically told you not to give him that upgrade!" Douglas says "Don't blame me! You built the software that made everyone disappear." Leo says.

"For the record, Donnie had just as much to do with this as I did. If not more. A lot more. In fact, this whole thing was his idea." Douglas blames Donald "Stop! We have more important things to deal with than blaming each other!" Luke says firmly.

"He's right. We have to find them." Chase turns to Adam and Bree "Although with them gone, we are top dog again." Chase says "Chase!" McKayla hits his arm "Damn, I always forget how strong she is" he makes a pained face.

"Do something!" Donald says impatiently "Okay. I'll pull up their GPS locators, and find out where they are." Chase presses buttons on the console.

"Nothing's coming up. Their signals must have been deactivated ." Donald says "Great. So now our brother and the entire student body are missing, and we have no idea where they are. They could be anywhere in the world!" Chase says worried.

"I can't believe this is happening" McKayla says.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

Meanwhile, the students pacing in a dark room.


"Where are we?" Daniel says "In a dark room with metal walls." Bob says "I can see that. Bob." Daniel says annoyed "Well, then why'd you ask?" Bob says.

"Wait. Maybe this is another dream. If I squint, with your moppy hair, you could easily pass for Bree." Bob tries to touch Daniel's hair, who hits his hand and turns to the students.

"It's okay everyone, I'm gonna get you out of here." Daniel tells the students "Daniel, they don't even know you. Let me give them the pep talk." Bob walks up to them

"Ignore what he said, guys. We're hosed." Bob says, the students look at him confused "We gotta do something. Bob, use your super strength to try and break us out." Daniel tells Bob

"Okay." Bob attempts to use his super strength to break them out, but fails "Well, I'm a man of my word. We're hosed." Bob tells the students again.

"Ooh, I know. What if I replicate your strength and we try it together?" Daniel says "Aw. it's cute when you get all feisty." Bob smiles, Daniel frowns.

Giselle suddenly appears on the monitor "I'm afraid your bionics are useless here. These walls block your pathetic little chips." She says.

"Who are you?" Daniel asks "I'm the woman who's going to take out all bionic superhumans and replace them with my android technology. But you can call me Giselle." Giselle smirks.

"Oh, thanks. I never would've remembered that first part." Bob says "How'd we get here?" Daniel asks "I was finally able to hack into your chips remotely and geo-leap you here." Giselle looks around the room "Wait. Where are Adam, Bree and Chase?" She asks.

"Probably still at the academy. See, there was this whole thing about how our bionics are newer than theirs, and they couldn't get the upgrade, and boy, were they upset. I mean, Chase was like...""Stop talking!" Daniel interrupts Bob.

"What are you going to do with us?" Daniel asks Giselle "I'm gonna destroy you. But first, I'm gonna use you as bait." Giselle turns off the monitor.

"Bob, we have to get everyone out of here." Daniel says worriedly "How?" Bib asks "Don't worry. I have an idea." Daniel says.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the common area.


"I have tried every way possible to remotely reactivate their GPS locators and nothing is working!" Douglas says "What they geo-leap away and can't geo-leap back?" Luke says thoughtfully

"Well we'll have to find them the old-fashioned way. Chase, map out an urban search and rescue. We'll go mile by mile, state by state if we have to." Donald says "Mr. Davenport, what if we're too late? That glitch could've geo-leaped them anywhere." Chase says.

"They could be at the bottom of the ocean or inside an active volcano. They may already be gone." Chase says "We're not giving up." Donald says.

"Look, I'm sure if it's a glitch they would have already found a way back or a way for us to communicate where they are" Luke says "Yeah, they were trained for that" McKayla says.

"Are you saying it's not a glitch?" Douglas asks "I'm saying this disappearance could have been caused on purpose..." Luke says thoughtfully "By who?" McKayla asks.

Daniel appears on the monitor "Hello?" Daniel says "Daniel, where are you?" Leo asks "Listen, I don't have much time. Some lady hacked into our chips and geo-leaped us here. She had us trapped, but I busted out." Daniel says, Luke looks at them with an "I told you so" look.

"Place looks familiar." Adam says "That's Giselle's lab." Bree says "Ha Told ya, It was Giselle!...Giselle?!" Luke says surprised

Giselle walks in behind Daniel on the monitor with an electric whip "Hey, what do you think you're doing? How did you escape?" Seh aims her whip at Daniel and cracks the screen "Dad, hurry!" Daniel runs offscreen.

"Say good-bye to your son, Douglas." Giselle hangs up "Everybody suit up." Donald says and everyone runs out.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the hallway outside Giselle's lab.

Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo are in mission clothes, while Donald, Douglas hold weapons and Luke has his laser fist, McKayla has a smaller gun attached to her belt.

"Adam, Bree, Chase, and I will go this way. Douglas, you, Luke, McKayla and Leo take the other side." Donald says holding a gun.

"My first mission" Luke says softly and giggles excitedly "Can you quit it?!" McKayla says annoyed, Luke clears his throat "Sorry...And when did you get so tough?" Luke frowns, McKayla gales at him "Guys focus!" Chase says.

Daniel walks in "Guys!" Daniel says "Daniel, you're okay!" Douglas hugs him.

"Where are the students?" Chase asks "Hiding in the other room. Come on!" Daniel leads them into Giselle's lab.

"Ooh! Wow! Man. This place is fancy." Donald says "Really? it feels like a hospital vibe to me" McKayla says "Nonsense, Just look at this" Donald says looking around in awe "Don't worry. I have the name of her decorator." Douglas says "Really?" Donald says "No!" Douglas frowns annoyed.

"I don't see the students" Luke says "Where are they?" Chase asks, they hear bangs "The doors are locking." Bree says "What's going on?" Leo says "Not a good thing for sure" McKayla says.

Giselle enters dramatically through a wall of fog "Well, well, well. So nice to see the family all together." Giselle says.

"Giselle, you got five seconds to tell me where the rest of the kids are before I blast you." Douglas takes aim at her.

"One thousand one. One thousand two. One thousand three, one thousand four." Giselle turns on monitor "There they are." She suas, the monitor shows Bob, Daniel, and the rest of the students in the dark room.

"Wait, how is Daniel in there and out here? This is just like the last time we were here with two Chases. This lady and her magic tricks. She gets me every time!" Adam says confused.

"It's a trap. That's not my son." Douglas looks at the fake Daniel "That's where you're wrong. I am your son. just not the one you think." Fake Daniel says

Giselle presses a button and Daniel transforms into Marcus.

"What the fuck is going on?! Marcus?!" McKayla's eyes widen, just like the rest of the team except for Luke who doesn't understand everyone's surprise.

"Marcus?" Douglas says incredulously "Good to see ya...Dad." Marcus smirk.

Luke leans towards McKayla "I know this isn't best the time but who is this guy?" Luke asks, McKayla looks at Luke, she's distressed by Marcus' presence.

"A ghost" McKayla tries to summarize the situation Luke look at Marcus confused and distressed.

In the dark room.

Daniel is fiddling with wires behind the living room monitor when Bob walks up to him.

"How's your plan coming along? I'm trying to calm them down with small talk, but every time I ask where they grew up, they all say "I don't know, I don't remember."" Bob says "Where'd you grow up, Bob?" Daniel asks.

"I don't know. I don't remember." Bob scoffs, Daniel is fiddling with the monitor "There. When I touch these two wires together, the force of the charge should be enough to blast a hole in the wall." Daniel says.

"Sounds good. You sure it'll work?" Bob asks "Nope." Daniel says "I like those odds." Bib nods, Daniel crosses the wires and is immediately blasted onto the floor.

"Daniel! Are you okay? Talk to me. What do you see?" Bob runs to him "I see...an open field. Blue skies." Daniel says, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Bob gasps "He's outside. He escaped. He's a genius." Bob tells the other students, in awe.
