In isolated Island, [[Sally Acorn|Sally]] sees a memorial of another Lynx. She asks [[Doctor Ellidy]] who she is, while comparing her to [[Nicole the Holo-Lynx|Nicole]]. Ellidy gets angry, and tells her not to compare her. Confused, Sally asks him what his problem with Nicole is. Ellidy then tells that the Lynx in the photo is his daughter, [[Nikki (Archie)|Nikki]], who passed away several years ago. He notes that Nicole was supposed to save her life. Back in the Digital World, Nicole is finished partitioning the system when [[Phage]] appears, commenting about her physical form. Nicole is confused, and asks who she is, Phage introduces herself, and Nicole asks her why she is here. Phage responds that she is learning and growing, what she does all the time. Phage questions Nicole about her physical form, and Nicole says it was out of curiosity, and expects Phage to say that it was foolish. But Phage notes this as 'facinating'. Nicole then asks whether Phage was responsible for infilterating the system, attacking Doctor Ellidy in the Digital World, and reprogramming the Badnik at the [[Lake of Rings]] to attack her friends. When Phage admits she did all this, Nicole immediately traps her in a Quarantine. But Phage destroys the Quarantine, and taunts Nicole that she can't stop her and she infilterated the system for a reason. She then attacks Nicole.

In the past, Ellidy is working on a computer when someone knocks on the door. [[Chuck the Hedgehog]] comes in and asks him if he is alright. Ellidy is irritated, saying he is fine and shows him the program that helps in mapping out the neutral pathways in [[Mobotropolis (Archie)|Mobotropolis]]. Chuck questions the data, transferred from the Digitzer, and Ellidy says that he already did the first scan. He then changes the topic and asks Chuck about the Roboticizer. Chuck says no. He notes that this is all he has left. In the present, Sally continues his conversation with Ellidy, and Ellidy notes that he was hoping that his daughter could live on in some form through the Digitizer, but the program that was mapping her scans caused Nicole to be created by accident. Sally apologizes for the loss, but tells Ellidy that it is unfair to blame Nicole for his daughter's death. Ellidy angrily yells that he didn't and notes that is the reason why he gave Nicole to her instead of deleting her. He then feels sad that Nikki never got the chance to live longer. Sally, now getting irritated, tells Ellidy that ignoring Nicole would hurt her feelings, but Ellidy interrupts her, saying that she doesn't know what 'hurt' is. Enraged, both Sally and Ellidy argue, until Sally slowly comes to her senses, wondering why they were arguing, then she realizes that Dark Gaia was controlling their minds and tells Ellidy to get inside. Ellidy says that his badniks will protect them, but Sally tells him they won't and they start running, just as the badniks and a Dark Gaia Monster start rising.

Spark of Life Part Three

In isolated Island, Sally sees a memorial of another Lynx. She asks Doctor Ellidy who she is, while comparing her to Nicole. Ellidy gets angry, and tells her not to compare her. Confused, Sally asks him what his problem with Nicole is. Ellidy then tells that the Lynx in the photo is his daughter, Nikki, who passed away several years ago. He notes that Nicole was supposed to save her life. Back in the Digital World, Nicole is finished partitioning the system when Phage appears, commenting about her physical form. Nicole is confused, and asks who she is, Phage introduces herself, and Nicole asks her why she is here. Phage responds that she is learning and growing, what she does all the time. Phage questions Nicole about her physical form, and Nicole says it was out of curiosity, and expects Phage to say that it was foolish. But Phage notes this as 'fascinating'. Nicole then asks whether Phage was responsible for infiltrating the system, attacking Doctor Ellidy in the Digital World, and reprogramming the badnik at the Lake of Rings to attack her friends. When Phage admits she did all this, Nicole immediately traps her in a Quarantine. But Phage destroys the Quarantine, and taunts Nicole that she can't stop her and she infiltrated the system for a reason. She then attacks Nicole.

In the past, Ellidy is working on a computer when someone knocks on the door. Chuck the Hedgehog comes in and asks him if he is alright. Ellidy is irritated, saying he is fine and shows him the program that helps in mapping out the neutral pathways in Mobotropolis. Chuck questions the data, transferred from the Digitzer, and Ellidy says that he already did the first scan. He then changes the topic and asks Chuck about the Roboticizer. Chuck says no.

Sally tells Big and Tails to wake up, and she and Ellidy enter the lab, and are immediately locked in. Sally tries to contact Nicole, but Phage answers her instead, revealing that she is here to get Ellidy's information, the Red Star Rings, and the Chaos Emerald.

Meanwhile, Big tries to keep the badniks and the monsters at bay and Tails tells Sally that all are trying to get in. Sally tells Tails to get to the Chaos Emerald at the Lake of Rings before Phage. Big then drives the vehicle, knocking the badniks and the monsters back. Another flashback takes place in Castle Acorn. Young Sally wakes up from her sleep, and asks Nicole what time it was, only to find her hand held form missing and the door open. Coming out, she angrily calls out to the figure. The figure reveals herself to be Nicole, who was trying out her physical form for the first time. Sally is surprised, and Nicole explains that it was complicated, and that she may not hold this form for long, and explains that she wanted to see the stars the way Sally does. Sally happily accepts.

Back in the present, in the Digital World, Nicole is trying to escape, ignoring Phages taunts about her having nowhere to go. She destroys Phage's monsters as she reveals her plan, Phage will absorb Nicole's coding and everything else in the system. She reveals she has infected other systems and they are directly linked to her core. Nicole finds an opening, and sees several pictures of Ellidy's deceased daughter, Nikki. Nicole is confused, but is ambushed by Phage. Sally could not stand this, and decides to help. She removes her vest to cover the camera, and thinks of a plan. She decides to use the Digitizer, and gives Ellidy one of her Ring-Blades, in case the badniks came through. Ellidy refuses to allow the princess to risk herself by using the Digitizer, but Sally knows that Ellidy didn't mean to create Nicole, and yells at him about Nicole being worth saving. She then uses the Digitizer. Back in the Digital World, Nicole is surrounded by Phage, about to be destroyed. But Sally arrives in time, strikes Phage, and says that if she wants Nicole, she will have to fight her first. Phage accepts the challenge.

Off-Panel

SU73

Ellidy warns Sally about using the Digitizer, saying that it will test her sanity. Sally tells him to just do it, and she gets zapped. She is shown to be pixelated a bit and notes that she was expecting a little less Dreamcast.

Quotes

Sally: We'd be destroying Nicole along with Phage.

Dr. Ellidy: That thing now controls my badniks. It's only a matter of time--

Sally: We are not giving in that easily.
