Japan, 3012

"Hey did you check out the newest video on Nico Nico?" A boy asked as he held a smartphone 2000 as his friend had the same video on his phone. "Dude is it real? Highly doubt that, the end of the world by cyborgs" He said as he laughed as the entire city of Tokyo was in a uproar of the strange propaganda, even the jumbotrons are showing the video. "Battou, you getting this?" Makoto Kusanagi said as she was watching the screen as Battou was looking at the video from his mind. "Yah, unsettling do you think, the end of the world" He said as she was silent for a minute. "Do you think this can happen?" She asked him as he was silent than he said "It's not impossible" He said as she hung up as she jumped from the roof as she landed on the street as she traced the original source as she was doing a dive.

"Battou, I'm in Nico Nico's main firewall" She said as she was sitting on a bench. "Show off" He said as she was inside a maze as she was breaking the code as well as visualizing what she is seeing. "This is strange, I am seeing no traces of the video prior to Nico Nico" She said as she was in the main system which showed every video that was ever posted. "Battou, you getting this?" She asked as she spotted a unfamiliar security code as he said "Yah, this seems like a level 23 security maze. Whoever made this must be smart as hell and know how to use his ghost or cybernetic mind" He said as she was out as she stood up as she headed back.

Togusa was looking up the source code of the website as he was searching the uploader profile and his last video and any username prior to Nico Nico. "Find anything?" Makoto said behind him as he shook his head. "Seems like this guy is a ghost, can't find him nowhere else online, no address nor phone, not even relatives" He said as she had her hand on her chin as she was thinking.

"Maybe it's a robot" She said as he turned to her. "That is impossible no data can be used like that, it has been dismantled from newer upgrades and cyborgs, that was like in the early 21st century, if IT is that, then it must be over 100 years old, we are like close to 70" He said as she was still thinking. "Can you trace the code the one I found? Hack or even break it down?" She asked as he said "That is not my clearance Major, that is your job" He said as she looked at him. "As of now you are in charge, I am taking a break, after what happened!" She said as he nodded as he looked at the code as he was decrypting a maze about several Level 23 mazes. "This may take a while" He said as he was done cracking the first one.

She was sitting in her room as she was rewatching the video possibly notice any easter eggs or any sign of a robot. "It's no use" She said as she turned off the video as she then thought about it again. "Bingo" She said as she went back into the firewall, but this time she used her ghost.

She was incapacitated as she roamed through the website and the completed mazes. Then she seen a whole new maze a Level 40 maze. "The hell" She said as it was the most advanced maze to ever be created. "This is not human, it has to be a cyborg or a robot!" She said as she said "I'll try to crack it, but it will be difficult" She said as she started hacking the maze, she signaled several numbers and letters and equasions to bypass it. She was in as she exhaled then she seen the real video. The unaltered video. "What's this?" She said

The video consists of two masked men wearing American flags over their masks, pointing a gun at two Sector 9 agents. "What the hell is this!?" She yelled as both of their heads were being hacked and hot-wired. "If they did that then…SHIT!" She said as she released her ghost as she escaped the firewall. "Those bastards used their ghosts to get to us! DAMMIT!" She yelled as she raced to Togusa.

"STOP!" She yelled as Togusa stopped hacking. "It's a trap, I seen the unaltered video after hacking a level 40 maze. They used Sector 9 agents to create the mazes, which means….they already got our data, they know all about is" She said as he looked at the screen. "Then all three of us may be in danger" He said as she said "If this is real, then the end is just around the corner, if they turn on our killer mode, then we can kill and kill and kill until we die. We shouldn't have even went into the video in the first place! I wanna know who the hell these American bastards are now!" She yelled as he nodded.
