Synopsis
After a night of fun and dance at the DNA Club, Hotchkiss the bouncer and his robotic friend JoJo are on their way home when Hotchkiss is mysteriously attacked. Later, Ace is working on his latest electrical trick when he and Cosmo are alerted by Cosmo's friend Ulene to the trouble at the DNA Club. The police think Hotchkiss is responsible not only for the vandalism at the club but also the trashing of various other places in Electro City for the last few days. Ace links the vandalism to the sale of popular virtual pets known as "X-Oshis." He and Cosmo try to visit the toy's creator, Professor Lars, but they get sidetracked when they nearly crash on the way to the Temple Meditation Center. There, they learn Lars is NOT staying in suite 101 and are attacked by a horde of X-Oshis. Barely escaping by means of one of Ace's mental illusions, they go back to Lars's home and enter by the window. They discover a secret passage to a series of rooms below, only to find Lars tied and gagged. When Lars is freed, he tells Ace and Cosmo about the prototype X-Oshi causing all the trouble. The prototype stuns Lars and yells of the takeover of Earth by the X-Oshis. Ace and Cosmo battle the X-Oshis while JoJo helps Hotchkiss escape from the police.
