Plot[]

Act One[]

In San Francisco, 59 passengers sit in a cable car on their ways. World class fashion designer Elena la Brava is doing a study on citizen clothing for a new fashion line. Bob Hardin and Hugh Fox are heading to the San Francisco Art Institute and having fun. David Castiglione is heading to his bakery and Leon Balford is going to hang out with his “friends.” Meanwhile, J.D. Hunt and his robot Candy are making out at the back of the car and Hugh and Bob yell at them to stop. J.D. Hunt curses him out and Bob prepares to shove him out the car. However, a lightning strike hits the cable car, which derails and hits a car piloted by Johnny Domino. An electrocuted piece of metal from the car gets lodged into his head. While everybody is ok, Johnny is rushed to the hospital.

While back at Brava Headquarters, Brava looks at her notes and begins to design a clothing line on her computer. She prints out multiple designs. For each design she doesn't like, she crumples it up and throws it in to a garbage can across the room. When she finally has a design she kind of likes, she gets up to go take out the trash. She notices that all the paper balls made it into the trash, something that doesn't usually happen. On their way back to campus, Hugh begins to stumble, feeling weak and anticipating the need to throw up, runs off into an alley. Bob walks slowly behind, asking Hugh if he is ok. Shortly after, Hugh releases an explosion of shrapnel from his body, screaming. When the smoke clears, it is visible that Bob has created a ball of energy around him, protecting him, while Hugh stands. The two watch as the holes in Hugh's skin heal rapidly, and stand confused. David arrives to open up his bakery, and as he enters his station and prepares for the day, he suddenly bursts into yellow flame and darts around his store. He reverts to his regular form, he lays on the floor of his bakery, confused. Leon, when pressured by some gang members in his neighborhood to continue work as an accomplice in their crimes, decides to run away instead. Expecting his usual speed, he is startled when he dashes off into the distance.

Candy, wandering around the city, notices a wound in her hand. It's not flesh wound though, which shocks her when she investigates her wound. Instead, the tear in her "skin" reveals metal and computer elements. This breaks her submissive programming, activating a sense of free will, and causing her to run off in confusion. She's later found by Elena who offers her shelter at her home.

The following day, the sorceress Yrial attacks the city in what was an attempt to draw out those affected by the Jumpstart event. Brava, Candy, Hardin, Fox, Balford, and Castiglione eventually each arrive at the scene believe that they have what it takes to fight her. However, they fight poorly and sloppy, giving Yrial enough time to place spiritual trackers on each of them before she flew away into the clouds. All confused on what just happened, they believe that Yrial had something to do with the Jumpstart, they return later that day to the scene of the event to discover more. However, after a little bit of searching, they are still unable to find anything. Yrial floats down from the clouds, and greets them at the site. She explains how she was able to tracks them, tells the group that she is not dangerous, and explains that she needed them to discover where the event took place. She explained that the power that awakened them was a power which her people had been trying to keep at bay for decades, after it nearly wiped out their people centuries ago. Having now located the site of the Jumpstart event, she stated that she could report the information to her people, but that she would also have to subdue the members of the group (except Candy, given her lack of Ultra power).

Act Two[]

Before the group could fight Yrial once more, J.D. Hunt arrives at the scene and announces that Candy is his (he was able to locate them through his own trackers, also revealing that he could hear everything through Candy). While Bob and Hugh are hostile towards Candy's robot nature, Elena is protective of her. It is all futile however, as NuWare private forces surround the group and release a chemical agent to capture them all, while Hunt takes Candy for himself. The Ultras wake up in a shared cell at the NuWare Research Labs just outside San Francisco. Hunt speaks to all the Ultras over the room's PA system, but has Yrial pulled out as he has "other plans for her," and Candy is still no where to be seen. He explains to the Ultras that he only hopes to train them to identify their abilities. The Ultras undergo a series of tests where each discovers the basic characteristics of their powers, and they are each given basic black training suits. However, Candy and Yrial are still no where to be seen.

Three days later, Yrial awakes in a room next to Candy. J.D. Hunt appears before them, telling Yrial that he had given her a controlled coma, and reveals that he has taken the blood of all the Ultras for his own "operations" (including hers). He has also been studying them further by monitoring their training. He tells Yrial that she is fascinating, and tells her to lead him to her people in hopes of collecting a little bit of DNA as well. He continues to explain that if she doesn't comply, she will kill all the Ultras so that when she returns to her people empty-handed, she will be ostracized (remember he could hear their earlier conversation--he will remind the viewer of that). Yrial agrees and Hunt calls for his assistants to begin the process and wiping Candy's mind.

Shortly after, during training the guards have been provoking and hitting David until his flame turned on, even though David insisted he couldn't do it on command. Eventually David convulsing on the floor and guards rush in to check on him. Suddenly, David's body turned bright red and he began going on a rampage throughout the building. The other Ultras take this as their chance to escape and find Candy. While Leon and Hugh stay back to fight off the guards, Bob and Elena continued to search the complex for the robot. Eventually, the enter a room and find Candy strapped to a table. The Ultras force the electrician standing over her to cancel the memory wipe, and they take Candy with her. The group eventually meet up again and are able to calm David down. They steal a NuWare Jet and escape back to Brava Headquarters.

The team talk amongst themselves and try to connect the dots to discover where Yrial's people lived. Candy states that in her database she can see the name for Yrial's file, but can't open it since Hunt limited her access. The only way for them to get the full data of the server would either be to remove Hunt's restriction from Candy or to access a Nu-Ware terminal. However, David receives a phone-call and rushes to the hospital without questioning. Finally arriving, he meets with his boyfriend Sandy, who fading. In an burst of extreme emotion, David glows a green flame and all of the plants in the room overgrow. He grabs Sandy's arm and tries to heal him, but is unsuccessful and Candy dies in his arms. It is at this moment, when the strangers arrive on the scene, that David begins to glow red. The Strangers are able to connect with David and they calm him down successfully. After a long night, they realize that they need somewhere to stay. And they decide to stay at Bob's house where they meet his parents: Grace and Henry Hardin. The next morning they console David some more and they allow him to rest while they draft more plans. Elena establishes that they'll have to work in the public eye, and they each come up with aliases and Brava has her company make them specialized costumes.

Act Three[]

Now at Brava Headquarters suited up, the team begin to figure out how to find out where Sky Island is. They ultimately decide that the only way would be to return to NuWare Research Labs and access the terminals there. On their way there however, the group's jet is attacked by TNTNT members Tugun and Neuronne. They manage to defeat the team, but in the violence, Neuronne touches Candy and seemingly fries her neurons. As the assassins escape, Candy discovers that Neuronne indirectly released her control neurons. She can know not only see where Sky Island is, but she has full capability of her powers. The Ultras fly to Sky Island where they catch up to Hunt and Yrial. NuWare has detained all of Yrial's people and they are carted off in ships back to NuWare Labs. Only Yrial is left on the island, distraught, and decides to team up with the Strangers to rescue her people.

Arriving back at NuWare Labs, Hunt has officially upgraded his Teknight Armor to its fullest potential. As The Strangers arrive, they split up. Leon, Elena, and Yrial search for the Sky People; Bob, Hugh, David, and Candy go off in search of Hunt. Neither group has luck and they reconvene, as it appears Hunt is tending to the Sky People himself. Hunt exclaims that he has his assassins off looking for more Ultras to add to his collection. He screams that evolution has left him behind no longer, and that he can finally become great as well.

Yrial begins the fight by shooting a burst of fire at Hunt, which he turned into water using Bob's transmutation ability. Grenade followed by shooting shrapnel at the glass casing, but then Hunt used Leon's speed to grab all the pieces, and Elena's abilities to throw them back at the heroes. This caused them to scatter and duck for cover, as Hunt began to chase them down. The squad realizes that the only way to beat him would be to use powers he doesn't have, i.e. Candy's powers. They come up with a plan. If Candy can fry the command chip in the Teknight armor, the rest of the team can dismantle it and stop Hunt.

Yrial casts an illusion of Candy running away and Bob makes the real Candy look invisible. As Hunt begins to run after the illusion, Leon boosts the real Candy up onto the rafters above, and the rest of the team spend time distracting and attacking him. When the moment is right, Candy leaps on top of the armor and places her hand on it. This fries the chip and Hugh quickly sends out a flurry of shrapnel to break the suit apart. Leon quickly rushes in an apprehends Hunt, and Brava uses her whip to tie him up by the hands. The Ultras release the Sky People who force Yrial to stay with and fight alongside the Strangers as punishment. The Sky People also say they will take Hunt back to their island for trial.

Epilogue[]

Exactly a week later, the Strangers are now public figures. They now have their own suite in the Brava building. In a safe room, Brava and Bob hand David all the pieces of the Teknight armor. As the door to the room closes, David burns a bright orange and burns all the pieces of the suit. Yrial and the rest of the team burst in to report that Hunt has escaped from Sky Island. Hugh also reports that there were 52 people on that cable car, and that they'd need to locate all of them. Brava states that she has a meeting scheduled the next day with Jacob Rome, head of the SFPD's new Ultra Response Team. The team then vow to stop Hunt before he can cause any damage, and they all go out for lunch.
