The episode begins with Static and his friend Richie studying for a history test. As they cram for the exam, Static receives a distress call from the police about a break-in at the Dakota City Museum. When he arrives on the scene, he discovers that one of his old enemies, Ebon, is behind the theft. Ebon was a former member of the Bang Babies gang who gained the power to turn into a living shadow and cause chaos in the city. Static and Ebon had numerous battles in the past but Ebon had been missing for some time.

Static realizes that Ebon is seeking a rare artifact that was on display at the museum. The artifact is a crystal that has the power to amplify a person's abilities. Ebon believes that with the crystal in his possession, he can become the most powerful person in Dakota City. Static and Richie try to stop Ebon but he manages to get away with the crystal.

Static and Richie decide to investigate Ebon's whereabouts to try and retrieve the crystal. They discover that Ebon has returned to his old stomping grounds, an abandoned building where he used to hang out with his gang. Static and Richie go to the building and manage to find Ebon. However, Ebon is not alone. He has teamed up with another one of Static's old enemies, Hotstreak.

Hotstreak is a member of the Bang Babies gang who gained the power to manipulate fire. He and Static have a long-standing rivalry and have fought each other numerous times. Hotstreak and Ebon have joined forces to try and defeat Static once and for all. They use the crystal to strengthen their powers and attack Static.

Static is able to hold his own against the two villains but is eventually overpowered by their combined strength. He is captured and taken to a secret location where Ebon and Hotstreak plan to use the crystal to amplify their powers even further. Static realizes that he needs help and calls on his fellow superhero Hardware for assistance.

Hardware is a genius inventor and superhero who uses advanced technology to fight crime. He arrives at the scene and helps Static break free from his captors. Together, they take on Ebon and Hotstreak and manage to destroy the crystal, which removes their enhanced powers.

In the end, Ebon and Hotstreak are arrested and taken into custody.
