"the Doomsday Device", has been in the works on the low for a very long time by "Mr X".  The first test makes criminals more powerful & exhibit super powers.  This doesn't go unnoticed by the law enforcement of the City.  Yet, finding the source of it is not possible.  The first day of it's use pitted the city in a very small chaos that only hit a few areas through out the day & moved across towns over night.  During the day; Axel, Adam, Blaze & Karaja assemble a team to stop the mayhem over night in high hopes.  Not knowing that the first night was just the first test.  At the next sunset, a second blast is sent off; awarding powers to everyone caught in the ridiculous blast radius.  No one is harmed of course, until people start realizing they are more powerful than usual.  That's when criminals put on their true face & start a mayhem.  Not if they can help it; they some how made a giant group of sixteen individuals they can trust to help wipe down the crime before it's too late.  By the end of night two, they figure out that "Mr X" is at it again; but with a much deadlier plan to take over the city.  They have no idea what's in store for night three or night four though...
