 * Issue 11 - 'When the Lights Go Down' **



**Plot**

Following the foiled bank attack, Dane returns to the school after his weekend away. When he returns he discusses the results of the DNA test with Sam - Dagan truly is Meghan and David's daughter. Dane and Sam decide to reveal to Dagan who her parents really are. They tell Dagan in person, which causes her to storm off in tears. They tell Bastienne over the phone. They tell David in person, who tells them that they’re handling it poorly. They tell Meghan last, who is also upset by the news. The information leaks out and causes chaos at the school, resulting in Meghan’s decision to transfer back to the east coast academy. She can't handle the gossip about her sex life - even her future sex life! A few weeks later, Cameron is inducted as a member of the eXalts with the codename “Vortex” (though he is on probationary status). Shortly after, there are reports of super-powered beings trying to kidnap a child in a San Francisco park. The descriptions seem to fit some of the students at Academy M. The eXalts arrive to find a boy named Will loose in the San Francisco Zoo. When they try to talk to him and offer to bring him back to their school, he becomes scared and transforms into a giant ape. He nearly escapes before being sedated and brought back to Academy X. While he is being tended, the power goes out at the school. There is an attack by a robot of some sort that looks like a miniature Sentinel. In the robot’s command are two full-sized Sentinels. The eXalts barely defeat one Sentinel, but the robot knocks out Dagan and nearly escapes with her. Prism and Vortex are knocked unconscious and Panzer is badly hurt stopping the robot from taking Dagan. The young boy helps during the attack in his giant ape form, but it's not enough. The smaller robot manages to escape without Dagan, but not before promising to kill her next time they meet.
