Part 5
ARCA was slowly gaining more control over Adlerville, and spies were everywhere, including Ms. Sherry Calverton, Erno's bus driver. One day, it was raining very hard, and she dropped off Erno's classmates one by one, until only Erno was left. Then, when she approached Erno's neighborhood, she saw his cube, grabbed it, and threw it into the street, and yelled at Erno for him to get off the bus. Shocked and scared, Erno ran as fast as he could, grabbing the cube pieces, but slipped and fell, and the pieces of his cube were washed into the sewer. It was his main, a MoYu WeiLong WRM v12. (This is set in the future)
Meanwhile, when Ms. Sherry got home, she talked to her daughter Tracy, who was going to be 17 years old in April, and said, "It is now time that you start training to be a member of ARCA. This is a good cause we are supporting, and with the physical strength, agility, and cleverness you have, you will do great as an ARCA spy. This town needs these talents. You are almost 17, and I expect you to sign up for the training this summer, which begins in the first week of June. Your father was one of the greatest ARCA spies of all time, and you have to follow his example."
William Calverton, Ms. Sherry's husband, had worked at ARCA for 8 years, stealing and destroying cubes in secret. Now that cubing was illegal and anyone found cubing could face extremely severe punishment, he didn't need to be secretive anymore. He openly sabotaged competitions, arrested cubers, and sent them to ARCA school for re-education. His appearance was intimidating, and so was his behavior. Tracy was hesitant for a moment, but since she already believed in the ARCA movement, she agreed, and signed up.

Yoo cerritos mention!Second part of the series
Disclaimer: Some parts might be a bit ridiculously unrealistic, but this is a dystopian series.
Max Park was at a cubing competition in his hometown of Cerritos, while Adlerville's ARCA troops were on the planes. The 3x3 second round was just about to begin when alarms sounded! The building was locked down while competitors were frantically searching for hiding places. A crew from Kentucky
Some cubers tried to call the police, but when they came, they saw the ARCA troops and said, "Cubing is illegal, they are simply enforcing the law. After all, they're the only ones allowed to enforce anti-cube laws." The remaining rounds of the competition were delayed until next week.
Cubers from all over the country were shocked. "Get rid of this cult!" shouted Garf, as the SpeedSolving.com website was disconnected permanently by the ARCA agents.
The next day was January 20. A new president was inaugurated, and it turned out that he was affiliated with ARCA! In his inaugural address, he promised to eradicate cubing from the nation, and eventually, the world. ARCA troops continued searching for Max Park, but did not find him. They offered a $1 million reward for whoever found him, but as January became February, he never turned up.
About 3 years ago i used to live. awesome place. i love cerritos.

Part 6
It was a cloudy Saturday afternoon, and Erno Rubik was scrolling on his phone. Pretty uneventful, right? Well, one short popped up of a plane crash in California: a failed ARCA attempt to capture Max Park. By now it was April, and ARCA was in full control of Adlerville and the surrounding towns. They had announced a "state of emergency" due to "criminal activity" and since Adlerville was still under the government of Florida, non-cubers trusted the mayor. This state of emergency led to what the mayor called "temporary closing" of the area, in which no one could enter or leave.
Erno Rubik and his family, as well as all the other citizens of Adlerville, were stuck. Now Adlerville was where many of Florida's cubers had fled after the first ARCA invasion last year, and now the cubers were under direct rule from ARCA. So Erno got all his siblings (except Joanne, of course) as well as a few friends, to form a secret cubing club which would meet every Friday and Saturday evening in Erno's room, bringing their cubes in cases that looked like they were for musical instruments. The members were: Erno, his siblings Jack, Feliks, Roxanne, and Roxanna, and their friends Rick, Rose, Johnny, and Edward. The first meeting was that evening after dinner, and they managed to sneak their cubes into the house. For an hour they cubed together and discussed what to do about the cube while ARCA was controlling. But as they were walking back to their homes after the meeting, Johnny and Edward were stopped by a 12-year-old girl wearing a shirt reading: "ARCA KID!" They knew who she was: Emma Calverton, the youngest daughter of Ms. Sherry and William Calverton. They were carrying their instrument cases, but Emma knew them as well, knowing full well that they were cubers. They were doomed.
