"Hey Google!" Matt barked.

Google froze, his face set in a glare as he waited for Matt to ask his question.

"Now!" Tyler ordered everyone.

The gamers snapped into action, Felix using his glowing blue fist to punch Google while Ken tossed the toy bear on the ground and watched it transform to a grizzly bear before he hopped on it and leaped in the air towards Anti.

"Remember that Mark and Jack are still in there somewhere, we don't want to hurt them too badly!" Ethan reminded the group as he dodged an attack from Google by front flipping over him.

"Got it!" Dan yelled back as his shadow floated up to Anti and started helping Ken attack him.

"Y҉o҉u҉ ҉c҉a҉n҉'҉t҉ ҉s҉t҉o҉p҉ ҉p҉r҉o҉g҉r҉e҉s҉s҉.҉" Google scoffed as he glitched out of existence before reappearing behind Tyler so he could punch him hard in the back of the head so he fell hard into the ground dazed.

"Now you just sound like Ultron." Tanner rolled his eyes, earning a snicker from Gunner as he used his weapon to hit Anti in the stomach.

Anti wheezed in pain and fell to the ground as he dropped his knife, overwhelmed by the three attacking him from all sides.

"I҉ ҉s҉h҉o҉u҉l҉d҉'҉v҉e҉ ҉k҉n҉o҉w҉n҉ ҉y҉o҉u҉'҉r҉e҉ ҉t҉o҉o҉ ҉w҉e҉a҉k҉.҉" Google huffed as he sneered at Anti's bruised and bloody body.

"I҉'҉l҉l҉ ҉f҉i҉n҉i҉s҉h҉ ҉t҉h҉i҉s҉ ҉w҉i҉t҉h҉o҉u҉t҉ ҉y҉o҉u҉.҉" Google decided as he glitched out of existence once more.

As everyone formed around Anti, he flinched as if expecting to be attacked more.

Instead, Ethan offered him a hand up.

"We need your help getting rid of Google. Will you help us?" Tyler asked.

Anti hesitated for a moment, glancing around at the group before slowly nodding, picking his knife back up off of the ground.

Anti's eyes gradually shifted from black to blue, his hair turning a brighter green.

"The fuck?" Jack muttered as he winced in pain, wiping the blood away from the cut on his forehead.

"We'll explain later. Right now, we have to find Google." Felix informed him.

"How do we find them though?" Jack frowned.

"I think I know where he is." PJ spoke up softly for the first time since they got to the roof, pointing over to the large tower where blue coding was swirling through the air, hacking into every piece of technology.

"P҉e҉o҉p҉l҉e҉ ҉o҉f҉ ҉L҉A҉,҉ ҉t҉h҉e҉ ҉e҉n҉d҉ ҉o҉f҉ ҉y҉o҉u҉r҉ ҉w҉o҉r҉l҉d҉ ҉i҉s҉ ҉n҉e҉a҉r҉.҉"  Google warned as his face appeared on every screen before abruptly disappearing in static.

"C'mon, we have to move fast." PJ urged the group as he used his galaxy looking arm to create a portal that led directly to their destination.

"How did you do that?" Jack gaped.

"I don't know, I didn't think I could." PJ admitted with a shrug before stepping through, the others following behind him.

Jack breathed in sharply when they stepped onto the roof of the LA bank tower, the largest building in LA while Google watched everyone step through the portal with an amused smirk.

"Y҉o҉u҉ ҉a҉r҉e҉ ҉a҉l҉l҉ ҉s҉o҉ ҉p҉i҉t҉i҉f҉u҉l҉.҉" Google spat.

"I know what you are, but what are we?" Sam countered.

Google shot her a confused look before shaking his head to brush off the reply.

"Look Mark, I know you're there, all of your friends are here for you." Tyler promised.

"I҉ ҉a҉m҉ ҉n҉o҉t҉ ҉M҉a҉r҉k҉.҉" Google snarled as he snapped his fingers.

Instantly all power went out, leaving everyone in darkness.

The YouTubers could hear the screams rise up from the buildings as they feared the worse.

"I can't see him!" Paul cried out.

"Same here." Kevin added grimly.

"I can see him." Phil stated as he morphed into a lion, his tail flicking back and forth as he bared his razor sharp teeth.

Phil pounced on top of Google, knocking him down to the ground.

"Hey Google." Tyler prompted.

"How do I get rid of you?" Tyler questioned.

"S҉e҉a҉r҉c҉h҉i҉n҉g҉ ҉f҉o҉r҉ ҉h҉o҉w҉ ҉t҉o҉ ҉g҉e҉t҉ ҉a҉ ҉r҉i҉d҉e҉ ҉i҉n҉ ҉p҉o҉o҉.҉" Google replied as images started popping up.

"Ew gross, stop that!" Ethan directed as he wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"Y҉o҉u҉ ҉a҉s҉k҉e҉d҉.҉" Google shrugged unapologetically with a mischievous smirk as the images thankfully dispersed.

"Mark, you gotta snap out of it. This isn't you, he's just a character you made up at my house for fun." Matt interjected.

"I҉-҉I҉ ҉r҉e҉f҉u҉s҉e҉ ҉t҉o҉ ҉l҉o҉s҉e҉!҉" Google roared furiously as his eyes started wildly flashing between blue and brown.

"Too bad, it looks like you are." Jack taunted.

Google yelled in a combination of anger and pain before his eyes snapped from blue to brown, Mark's wings back.

The lights gradually flickered back on, earning cheers from the people below as their tech became free from Google.

"You can get off of me now." Mark groaned to Phil, who was still in lion form with his paws pressing Mark's shoulders to the ground to prevent him from moving.

Phil got off and morphed back to his human form with a sheepish grin.

"Sorry." Phil apologized.

"So...now what?" Mariah wondered aloud.

"We go home." PJ shrugged, creating portals that led to everyone's homes.

They all said their goodbyes before returning home, pretending that everything that had happened in the past several hours was only the game and nothing else.

It wasn't long before Fun and Games Co went out of business and Angelica was found out and given a several year sentence to jail instead of staying in juvenile prison.

Each of them promised theirselves that they would have to make a new safe file and leave what happened that day behind.

Or at least, most of what happened.

How could anyone choose to get rid of awesome powers anyway?
