A Deadly Lure, a Domino-Effect Disaster!

Central City. The top floor of the Future Energy Research Center, headquarters of Chaos Direction.

Link stood before a vast holographic map, looking down at a city traced in streams of data. Three great bridges spanned the river like parallel arteries, glowing soft blue on the map.

"Central Bridge, Keystone Bridge, Trident Bridge."

He reached out and tapped each of the city's lifelines in turn.

"Puddin', what are you looking at?" Harley Quinn slipped up behind Link as silently as a cat and wrapped her arms around his waist. Resting her chin on his shoulder, she studied the intricate city model. "What's so fun about these bridges? Are you going to paint them rainbow colors?"

"A good idea, Harley. But I have a more interesting game in mind."

A cold smile touched Link's lips as he swiped a finger across the holographic panel.

The map instantly switched to structural diagrams of the three bridges. Countless tiny red dots clung like a virus to their main load-bearing cables and concrete supports.

"What are those red dots? Little bugs?" Harley poked one curiously.

"You could call them Vibration Clockwork." Link's voice was perfectly calm. "They're my latest creation: miniature high-frequency resonance robots. Each one is no bigger than a fingernail, but in a thousandth of a second, it can raise its vibration frequency to match the natural frequency of a high-strength steel cable exactly."

Harley's eyes lit up. "Like singing so high you shatter a glass?"

"Far more efficient than that." Link spoke like a scholar presenting his graduation project. "I don't need to destroy the bridges. I only need to make every main load-bearing structure in all three bridges undergo resonance separation at the same instant. Their structural integrity will drop to the breaking point in a flash, like three block
