Clockwork Crisis is the fifth story in the Clockwork series. The story unites protagonists from The IT Files, Tales from the Tuckerverse, Spydoll Inc (series), and Tucker's Wand. The premise involves time freezing for the whole world but people all over it are aware of what's going on, and the villain of the piece is Sandy Vanholt.

Summary[]

Part 1: Flashpoint[]

All over the world, time suddenly stops. First Malibu, then Los Angeles, Houston, New York, Caxias Do Sul and London, all at once. Not only are Tucker Holmes and Chloe Noi not frozen thanks to the Wand of Kronos and Ring of the Haetae, Utopia Towers and ITEA HQ are also protected. Erika Stone and Tasia Spiro are also shown to be immune, which is odd since they normally have no protection at all. As cell phone networks are shown to still be active but almost every other form of communication is down the ITEA manages to trace the point of origin to Malibu. It is then revealed that Sandy Vanholt is behind events, having used the Stillsville Camera to freeze the Durga Hourglass while it had stopped time, resulting in a sort of magical feedback.

Part 2: Unification[]

Erika Stone gets in contact with Tucker Holmes, Tasia Spiro and the International Temporal Enforcement Agency, everyone quickly getting up to speed on what is going on. Tucker figures out that the Wand of Kronos can unfreeze objects and people despite him not being the one stopping time, and they all discover that cell phones can work while other technology can't. Erika then goes to the new Otaku LA location in Malibu to check on Ingrid Stone, as it seems anyone with the Temporal Gene wasn't effected by Sandy Vanholt's unique timestop. Erika also invites Tucker and whoever he calls to meet her at Victoria Towers as Lucienne Christophe told her that the event originated in Malibu. Meanwhile at the ITEA HQ Lucienne tries to keep morale up, Colette Landry learns that Janine Radcliff is also a spy for Utopia Holdings, and Suzanna Ortiz reveals she was going to elope with William Volt, so the ITEA decide to have an impromptu wedding. Angelita Castillo also realized whatever was going on had to be magic, revealing her own unknown connection to the power as well as her mother's, as Sonia Castillo had magic potions in her desk that Angelita used to make Suzanna and Zora Jugovic realize what was really going on. Utopia Holdings and Spydoll Inc both begin to head for Malibu while Tasia has fun exploring a frozen London.

While Erika freezes her mother and secures her back at home Tucker goes to Decker State College and witnesses Sandy moving, learning she's behind the event. Tucker then unfreezes Susie Kim (in Leslie Chun's body), Rose Mazza and Angel Mathews, discovering Laura Blair wasn't frozen either. Back in London many members of the ITEA begin to hook up, Lucienne starting to collect her co-workers after freezing them with Type-7 thanks to some hypnotic suggestion from Miranda Ohala, Jin Pierce doing the same entirely of her own volition. Arriving at Victoria Towers Tucker introduces Susie and her friends to Erika, unfreezing the elevator in the building so they can go to her penthouse. As the waiting begins Erika and Susie hit it off while Rose fools around with Tucker, Rose turning out to fully embrace the wondrous aspects of the people around her. In London Tasia discovers Kioni Abasi's secret collection of frozen criminals. After spending a frozen day at Erika's penthouse Tucker, Susie, Erika, Rose and Angel meet up with Scott Dawson, Ryoshi Dawson, Parker Reich, Chloe Noi, Jamie Mosley, Kyla Abonde and their respective entourages, preparing to go and take down Sandy.

Part 3: Alliance[]

In London Suzanna Ortiz and William Volt get married, and as Lucienne Christophe decides that, to conserve supplies in ITEA HQ, all non-essential personnel should be given Type-7, Nicole Kao reveals to her that Colette Landry and Scott Dawson knew each other very well in the past. Lucienne, after befriending Jin Pierce and learning about Irvine McFarland's new Dream Machine project, discovers damning photos on Colette's computer. Meanwhile at Victoria Towers in Malibu Tucker Holmes comes up with a name for the group he's helped form: the Chrono Alliance. The name is agreed upon, some liking it more than others, and the group heads out to Decker State College. Sandy Vanholt is located along with her slaves and after managing to initially flee she's captured, Erika Stone, Susie Kim, Scott Dawson, Parker Reich, Ryoshi Dawson, Angel Mathews and Rose Mazza all managing to work together while Jamie Mosley ended up temporarily frozen, Chloe Noi briefly kidnapped as well. The group coordinated cleaning up the massive mess Sandy made, making liberal use of the Royal Momju Necklace to deal with Sandy's victims and finally destroying the Stillsville Camera photo that had frozen the Durga Hourglass. Susie claimed the hourglass and some victims who couldn't be controlled by the rings were divided up amongst the group as prizes, Chloe getting Sandy in particular, Erika and Ryoshi meanwhile making love and thus peace with one another.

Back in London Tasia Spiro ended up encountering Ceara Archer at West Ten, who was not only revealed to be in possession of the Temporal Gene but gay as well. The two became fast friends, meeting up again after time was unfrozen, discovering that Tasia's gene had also apparently mutated. Tucker brought Haley Leone and Julie Vaughn up to speed while Susie helped Erika ring Adora Morales, Talieya Antzas and Kyriake Antzas so they'd be more loyal, Erika then bringing Mary Hamilton up to speed. Erika decided to do Tucker a favor, freezing Kaley Hurst while meeting Felicity Kaplan. Susie got a job at Balfour Boutique, Lexa Balfour ended up ringed willingly and becoming friends with Susie, also allowing her to ring some of her customers and new staff as well. Pamela Flipspatrick, retaining some of her past knowledge despite being ringed for a short while, formed a new Scooby Gang. Kyla Abonde used new Spydoll Inc members Alexis Sutherland and Leslie Schulz to get some payback on Chloe and Jamie for all the times they'd frozen her, then also studying Trina Goldworth after putting one of Susie's rings on her to see if it could advance her own research into Type-7 Chip technology. Lucienne brought Sonia Castillo up to speed, Cassandra Flick and Ryan Tully meanwhile a bit awkward around each other thanks to a sexual encounter they'd had when time had been frozen while Aisha Reynolds left a message for Lucienne, wanting to join the International Temporal Enforcement Agency. Finally back in Los Angeles Tucker returned from a run with his new trainer Dextin Slaughter to discover he had a new neighbor: Mai Traviss, an old friend of Parker's that was hired by Utopia Holdings to act as a bodyguard if he ever needed one.
