00:01In the study at the Vega estate, Sonny and Max tensed in a long...
00:12...arm as they stared at the bomb taped to Esmeralda's thigh.
00:16On it, a mechanical timer was counting down.
00:20Esmeralda armed the bomb before she went down.
00:22We've got three minutes before it blows.
00:25Over their comms, Carmen's voice came back instantly.
00:29Quinn is on her way with Eclipse fabric.
00:31You can wrap the bomb in it to deactivate its electrical components.
00:34Just then, Sonny stiffened and shook her head.
00:38That's not going to work.
00:39The trigger isn't electrical.
00:41It's mechanical.
00:43So the Eclipse fabric won't have an effect on it.
00:47Without wasting another second, Sonny dropped to her knees beside Esmeralda,
00:51pulled a pocket knife, and sliced through the masking tape keeping the explosives strapped to her thigh.
00:55The moment the bomb came free in her hand, Sonny sprang to her feet,
00:59ran to the shattered window, and proceeded to climb out of it, onto the tree against the estate wall.
01:05Max rushed after her.
01:07Sonny, where are you going?
01:09Sonny was already shimmying down the tree's thick branches as she glanced up at him.
01:15Sorry, no time to waste.
01:17This is what hyper mode is for, Maxie.
01:19I'm going to drive the bomb to the canyon down the way and chuck the sucker into its abyss.
01:25Sonny had quickly done the math to know it was too much of a risk
01:27to try and disable the bomb there in an estate with hundreds of people partying downstairs.
01:32If something were to go wrong, the blast would tear through the ballroom below and put too many lives at
01:38stake.
01:38So instead of wasting the three minutes trying to disable a bomb whose mechanics they weren't familiar with,
01:44Sonny figured it was better to get the bomb as far away from the party as possible
01:48before the timer ran out and ditch it somewhere safe for it to explode.
01:52Without hesitating, Max hurried out the window and started down the tree as well.
01:57Wait for me.
01:58There's no way in hell I'm letting you travel alone with an active explosive.
02:02Down below, Sonny dropped to the ground with the ticking device clenched in her hand.
02:07Come if you want. Just don't dawdle.
02:10Max dropped from the last branch of the tree onto the grass and immediately tapped his earpiece.
02:15Quinn, Emmett, stay with Esmeralda. Guard her body while we're gone.
02:19The eclipse fabric won't work on this type of bomb.
02:21We're going to get the thing far away from the party so the blast doesn't harm anyone here.
02:26Copy that, cousin. Be safe.
02:28Meanwhile, Sonny tapped her own earpiece.
02:32Hey, Addie. Connect to Spectre 1's network and send up my coordinates.
02:36I need it here now.
02:38Without delay, the hypercycle tore across the estate lawn and slid to a precise stop in front of them.
02:44Max blinked at the machine, baffled.
02:46You brought your hypercycle to the function?
02:49Sonny swung one leg over the bike and grinned.
02:52I take Spectre everywhere.
02:54Before I leave the house, I just give her my destination and she tails us nearby.
02:58Impressed and in a hurry, Max climbed on behind her as the bomb's ticking continued, echoing in the night air.
03:05Sonny glanced back over her shoulder.
03:07What's the name of that canyon we passed on the way here?
03:11San Mateo Ridge.
03:13Sonny nodded and spoke to the bike's system.
03:16Spectre 1? Activate hyperspeed.
03:19Destination? San Mateo Ridge, stat.
03:22Just then, panels along the hypercycle shifted and locked into place as a sleek, protective pod suddenly slid forward and
03:29sealed around them with a smooth, metallic whoosh.
03:33Sonny tapped the transparent enclosure around them.
03:36Cool, huh? It's to shield us from hyperspeed winds.
03:40She glanced toward the bomb in Max's hand.
03:43How much time do we have?
03:44Max checked the timer.
03:46One minute, fourteen seconds.
03:49Sonny smirked and gripped the handles.
03:51Perfect. We'll hit the canyon in twenty seconds.
03:54Spectre 1? Drive.
03:57The machine launched forward like a missile, tearing down the dark road at nearly three times the speed of a
04:02normal vehicle.
04:03Max's eyes widened as the world blurred past them in streaks of light and shadow, the vibration of the engine
04:09humming through his entire body.
04:11He shouted over the roar.
04:13This is wild. Does it go any faster?
04:17Sonny laughed.
04:18Faster than hyperspeed?
04:20Maxie, you really are a thrill chaser.
04:23Max stared at the speed display in awe.
04:26Tell Zero I need one of these. I'll pay whatever it costs.
04:29Sonny chuckled.
04:31What's mine is yours. You can take Spectre for a ride anytime you want.
04:36As predicted, the hypercycle reached the canyon in less than twenty seconds.
04:40The machine slowed smoothly and came to a stop at the edge of the San Mateo Ridge.
04:44The protective pod then opened with a soft mechanical hiss.
04:48When Sonny and Max climbed off the bike, they rushed to the edge of the ridge where the land suddenly
04:53dropped away into the vast darkness of San Mateo Canyon.
04:57The night wind blew across the rocky overlook, rustling the sparse brush that clung to the cliffside.
05:03Below them stretched a deep black void where the canyon floor lay hundreds of feet down, invisible in the moonlight.
05:10How are we doing on time?
05:12Max glanced at the device in his hand.
05:15Forty seconds.
05:16He then drew his arm back, ready to hurl it into the abyss, but Sonny suddenly grabbed his wrist.
05:22Wait!
05:23He turned to her, surprised.
05:25Would you mind holding it until there's just about five seconds left?
05:30Max narrowed his eyes, confused.
05:33You want me to hold onto a live bomb longer?
05:37Sonny gestured toward the darkness below.
05:39If you throw it now, it'll reach the canyon floor before it goes off.
05:43And who knows what's down there?
05:44Could be the home of Bambi and his whole family of deer friends.
05:48I'd rather not accidentally blow up innocent furry creatures.
05:52So, if you wait to throw it until there's just a few seconds left, it'll explode midair without any animal
05:58casualties.
06:00Max smirked.
06:02Okay.
06:04Softly.
06:05I'll delay the release for Bambi and his forest friends.
06:09Sonny smiled.
06:12All right.
06:13Ten.
06:14Nine.
06:15Eight.
06:16Seven.
06:17Six.
06:18Now.
06:20Max stepped forward and finally chucked the bomb out into the canyon like a football.
06:25And it exploded midair, like Sonny said.
06:28A bright flash lit the darkness as the bomb detonated high above the canyon floor.
06:33The shockwave rolled through the cliffs before fading into the quiet night.
06:38With that, they both exhaled in relief, and Max pulled Sonny into a tight embrace.
06:43She leaned into him and smiled.
06:46You know, that was kind of like watching fireworks together.
06:50She pulled back and studied his face, concerned.
06:54Are you okay?
06:55I watched everything that happened in the study on my phone screen.
06:58The IIB's flybot streamed the whole thing.
07:01Do you remember any of it?
07:03The hypnosis or any of the crap Esmeralda told you?
07:07Max's forehead tensed in concentration.
07:10Then he shook his head.
07:11No.
07:12Nothing.
07:13I remember walking into the study with her, and then I remember you crashing through the window.
07:19Sonny reached into her pocket and pulled out Esmeralda's necklace.
07:23The pendant glinted faintly in the moonlight.
07:26She used this.
07:27Every time she flicked the pendant, it made a chime sound.
07:31That was the trigger she used to hypnotize you.
07:33Max's brow furrowed in anger.
07:36Seriously?
07:37She used a basic piece of jewelry to mess with me?
07:41Sonny leaned forward and cupped his face.
07:44She won't anymore.
07:45Never again.
07:47I won't let her.
07:49Sonny pressed her forehead to his, then softly kissed his lips.
07:53When they pulled apart, Max glanced down at the necklace still resting in her hand and smirked.
07:59Do you realize you're holding a lot of power in your hand?
08:02You could use that thing to make the Prince of Spain.
08:06Do anything in the world that you want.
08:09Sonny grinned mischievously.
08:11Hmm.
08:12I don't think I need it.
08:14I'm pretty sure my Prince would give me anything I asked for.
08:18Or, on second thought, I'd probably use the hypnosis to shamelessly order you to flash me your abs whenever I
08:24wanted a peek.
08:27All right.
08:28But to make it fair, when I do it, you have to flash me back.
08:33You also want me to flash you my abs?
08:36Max shot her a sarcastic smile.
08:40Sure.
08:40It was the bunny girl's abs that I fantasized about every night.
08:46Sonny chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
08:49Max called her on.
08:50I didn't realize you were such a deviant.
08:53Max grinned.
08:55I prefer the word passionate.
08:57But, yes, when it comes to you, my mind has grown quite deviant.
09:05His strong hand squeezed her waist and Sonny bit her lip.
09:08Over their comms, Carmen's voice broke in.
09:12Max, Sonny, are you two okay?
09:15We heard the explosion.
09:17Max tapped his earpiece.
09:19We're good.
09:20The bomb was discharged without casualties.
09:23It's no longer a threat.
09:25Quinn chimed in next with orders as if Max and Sonny hadn't just saved the day.
09:30Good on you.
09:31But we're going to need you to get your butts back here to help deal with the evil sleeping witch.
09:36Max nodded toward the hypercycle behind them.
09:39Copy that.
09:40We're on our way.
09:44We're on our way.
09:55We're on our way.
