Part 1
Part 1 was released on September 7, 2014.
The story begins at Whateley Academy, as the Spy Kids are meeting with their faculty advisors, Sir Wallace Westmont and Suzannah Hagarty. The two irate advisors begin digging out spying devices off their persons, with the last one being from Hagarty's cleavage, leading her to yell out an order for Kew to arrive by the time she counts to twenty, which she does after Hagarty reaches seventeen.
The two faculty advisors demand that the Spy Kids start shutting down their excessively intrusive surveillance of everyone and anyone. However, as Kew is doing this, she picks up on She-Beast discussing her upcoming arena challenge with Nemesis. They pass this intel on to Nemesis, but it turns out that Jadis was setting up both her and the Spy Kids, leading Westmont to threaten to keep the ICC members responsible grounded on campus over Spring break.
Then the story moves to Jadis seeking help to keep the understandably nervous Jobe in line during their stay at the Diabolik's home before the trip to Karedonia. Alex, who has travel issues of her own, offers to help, on the condition that she is free to move on with her plans to go with X-O to visit her family in Denver.
On the trip to NYC, Vamp arranges to make a detour to Boston. After a rather hair-raising arrival, she tracks down one of her benefactors, and uses her 'Vamp-Razzle' and Belphoebe's Neuralizer to get the the details of her trust fund out of him. She then confronts her mother about her real parentage, leading to the revelation that not only is she related to The Bloodline, but that her family is being watched by The Necromancer's agents. She hurriedly arranges protection for (some of) her family, and races to meet She-Beast in New York.
At Chez Diabolik, meanwhile, Jobe's state of mind has steadily deteriorated, to the point where she is seeking a way to destroy the Imperial Palace rather than face her betrothal. Once she arrives, Vamp suggests a project to keep the her and the other drow occupied: selecting and purchasing crown jewels for her upcoming betrothal and wedding.
