the series follows the daily interactions among the two groups. il palazzo would send the girls on their missions but the results are usually a failure with some explosive or catastrophic damage to the city. kabapu would send the city security workers on some equally ridiculous assignment which would also go wrong. eventually il palazzo and kabapu become aware of each other's manipulations and escalate their plans. excel finds herself being replaced by an impersonator who heads the ill corporation. massive amounts of money is spent on elections and politics. eventually the members of across begin making appeals directly to the city's citizens before il palazzo publicly declares the existence of across and its intentions to the public. hyatt is captured and excel and elgala are later held in an immigrant detention center before being rescued by il palazzo, who begins the new phase of his plans.
