Post by bunniefuu »

* We're moving, we're b*ating
hacker at his game! *

* Don't tell that he's trying
to hack the motherboard, *

* We'll get him every time!

* Cosmic worlds,

* Freaky places
that we've seen, *

* We've got the power
of one, two, three, four! *

* Running in a cyberchase,
we'll meet him face to face, *

* We'll stick together
all the time! *

* Adventures in cyberspace,

The chase is on!

* Just wait
and c-y-b-e-r-chase! *

Target:
this way! It's moving fast!

Unga:
we almost had it, nero!

Nero:
aye!

What did I say about
wearing boots?

Nero's right.

To capture chewcroca,
we've got to be quiet.

Lose 'em!

(Gasp) don't anyone move!

(Hissing)

Nero:
put that away, hermano.
I'll handle it!

Move aside, nero!

Target's the best big game
hunter in the business.

Listen, amigo.

You may be the owner of the
biggest circus in cyberspace

But no one tells nero
the animal hero

How to do his job!

There you go, little one.

Unga:
I didn't hire you
to play with snakes!

Your job is to locate
chewcroca!

It's around here somewhere!
Spread out.

We'll force it into the trap
I've rigged in ecohaven canyon.

Hacker:
yes, the only known photograph
of chewcroca.

Jaws so strong they can bite
through solid metal;

Its actual size, a mystery.

And i, the hacker,
am about to acquire it

With the help of my accomplice
in ecohaven.

Chewcroca, the perfect creature
to coerce all of cyberspace

Into surrendering!
(Laugh)

(Chewcroca roars)

(Gasps)

Crikey!

Unga:
chewcroca's escaped!

You mean released.

Someone unlocked the croc!

(Reading)
"go home!

I've hidden chewcroca where
you'll never find it."

Unga:
both of you have the keys
to this lock!

So do you, hermana!

And you'd like chewcroca
all to yourself

So you can put it
in your circus!

And you, you just want
another trophy!

Target:
what about you,
mister tv star?

I bet you'd like to put it
in your show

So you can get big ratings!

Computer voice:
cyber-mail!

Ah-ha. My accomplice
has captured chewcroca.

Too bad buzz and delete
aren't here

To enjoy my moment of triumph.

What a time to take
a vacation.

(Mumbles as he reads email)

What?! Chewcroca's been stolen!

Jackie:
a giant cyber-croc
that eats metal?

Ew! I wouldn't want
one of those running loose

In my neighborhood.

Neither does motherboard.

That's why we gotta find
whoever took it, pronto!

Matt:
where's the crime scene?

Digit:
over there.

Those are our suspects:

Nero, the animal hero,

Circus owner, unga d'bigtop,

And big game hunter,
ron target.

Jackie:
wow! I've seen nero on tv!

He looks out for animals

And he's not afraid
of anything!

Let's grill 'em!

Matt:
stay right there.

We work for motherboard.

Digit:
yeah! We're here to find out
which one of you

Lifted that lizard.

Unga:
it wasn't me!

Target:
me, either!

Nor me!

I'll clear my name by
finding chewcroca myself!

Matt:
wait! Come back! Hey!

Gee, the suspects aren't
supposed to walk away

From the crime scene, are they?

Inez:
eh, only if you can't stop 'em.

Maybe we should look
for chewcroca, too?

It could be anywhere, jax!

We have a better chance
of finding it

If we find out who took it.

Digit:
matty's right!
Let's look for clues.

Hey guys, check this out!

If this print belongs
to chewcroca,

We're talking
one humungo lizard!

Guys, we're looking for
a person's print, remember?

The person who stole chewy!

Matt:
hey, people prints!
Our first clue!

Jackie:
and they're inside
chewcroca's print

So they had to be made
after the big print.

Inez:
discover who made these prints

And we'll know
who has chewcroca!

Matt:
on tv they make plaster
casts of prints

So they can save them.

Funny you should say that!

Plaster... Water!

Hacker:
I don't know which one
of you scoundrels

Stole my scaly means
to master motherboard,

But I do know which one of you
is working for me!

And you better get chewcroca
back or- ooh awww!

My favorite cape!

Matt:
voila!

Good job, digit!

Two footprints of our suspect.

Digit:
now what?

Inez:
okay, what do these
prints tell us?

Matt:
well, for one thing,

We know the culprit wasn't
wearing any shoes

Check out those toes!

Inez:
we also know how
big his feet are.

But knowing how big
someone's feet are

Doesn't tell us what
he looks like!

No, but maybe it can tell us
something about

The size of the person
who made it.

Matt:
whoever it is, his feet
are a lot bigger than mine,

That's for sure!

Jackie:
and your feet are bigger
than mine!

That makes sense,
you're taller.

Inez:
and my feet are smaller
than both you guys...

'Cause I'm the smallest.

Wait a minute!

Did we just prove something?

Digit:
yeah! We proved none of you
committed the crime

'Cause your prints
don't match the molds!

I think we proved more
than that, didge.

We proved the longer
your foot is

The taller you are!

That means the suspect's
taller than we are,

But how tall is he?

Jackie:
we need more than a footprint
to figure that out.

Hmm, I wonder if some
other part of my body

Matches the length
of my foot.

Matt:
and if it does...

I bet the same goes
for the suspect!

(Tiger growl)

Jackie:
uh-oh! Ahhh!

Digit:
look out!

Whoa!

Help!

(Growling)

Jackie:
help!

This is not good,
not good at all.

Nero:
(tarzan call)

All:
nero!

(Growling tiger)

Nero:
don't anybody move!

(Singing)
* hush little tiger,
don't be mean *

* Nero's gonna give you
a cyberbean. *

Jackie:
that was totally awesome,
mr. Nero!

Thanks.

Nothing to it.

Matt:
I thought you were looking
for chewcroca.

Were you spying on us?

Hardly. I was just hangin'
around.

Good thing I was, too.

Hasta luego...
Got me a croc to find.

Inez:
is it safe to come out?

Yikes!

Hey! This isn't a rock,
it's... (Sniffs)

An egg!

Matt:
wow! Look at all these
giant lizard foot prints!

I bet this egg belongs
to chewcroca!

That means chewcroca's a...
A mommy!

Even more reason
to find chewy!

Don't worry, baby,
we'll find your mommy.

Target:
you think those earth kids
will figure out

Who took chewcroca?

If they do...
It better not be you!

Chewcroca!

Yeow!

Ahhh!

(Singing)
* es la hora de dormir

* A la cama descansar.

* Es la hora de dormir-

Matt:
inez, come on! We need you!

Didge, take my place!

Keep an eye on junior.

Digit:
it's just an egg!
What's to watch?

Inez:
don't let anything
happen to it.

And be nice,
he can hear you.

Hello, eggie?
It's me, digit.

You can call me didge...
Someday.

Boy, being a mother
isn't easy!

Jackie:
we're looking for body matches.

If another part of my body
matches my foot,

Then we can use
the suspects footprints

To tell us more
about the suspect.

Okay. Cut this string so it's
the same length as my foot.

Matt:
here, you can use
these scissors.

Let's see if its length matches
some other part of my body.

Nope. Nope.

Matt:
try my calf, jax.

Inez:
I don't think it works
that way, guys.

Matt's taller.

Jackie, you're shorter
than matt,

And your foot is smaller, too,
remember?

I think you have to use
your own foot measure

On your own body parts.

Matt:
hey, this leaf's the same
length as my foot

I'll measure with this.

Nope, I don't see
a match anywhere.

Not here, either.

Jackie:
matt, freeze!

You won't believe it!

Your head and the leaf
measure the same!

You're kidding!

My head is the same length
as my foot?

Inez:
yep. And my head is
the same length as my foot!

Bingo! We're different sizes,

But we all have
the same kinda match.

The lengths of our heads
match our feet!

Matt:
so some parts of our bodies
are the same length as others!

Inez:
and if it's true for us,
I bet it's true for everybody!

Well, now we know how tall
our suspect is...

At least from the neck up!

Jackie:
we're on a roll, guys.

Didge! Keep a record
of our matches.

Are you kidding me?
I've got enough to do!

C'mon, didge, write 'em down
or we'll forget them.

Okay, okay!

I want a raise!

Inez:
this is so cool!

We've turned one clue
into two!

We know the length
of the suspect's foot

And how long his head is.

Like they say on
crime scene exploration,

We're building a physical
profile of the perp!

Jackie:
hey! Check this out!

Hand prints!

Another job for the mold squad!

Target:
ahhhhhh.

(Crash)

Unga:
grr! Hmph.

What are you doing?

Target found chewcroca!

Afraid not, unga.

That was just your everyday
cyberbeast. (Chuckle)

You're fired!

Matt:
the molds are done!

And whoever made this print has
a much bigger hand than I do!

Matt:
cool!

So what can we do with a hand?

Can we use that to measure?

Maybe.

How about this? Yes!

My thumb and middle finger
touch!

You're right!

The length from my thumb
to middle finger

Is the same as the distance
around my wrist.

Matt:
check this out!

The distance around my neck
is two finger wraps!

Jackie:
how cool is that?

Some body parts are twice
the size of others!

Maybe some are even three times
the size or more!

Let's measure!

I've got lots of stuff
to measure with in here.

Can you guys speed it up
a little?

Junior's gonna be here
any minute!

(Egg cracks)

Inez:
look, if we tie knots
in the string

That are one finger wrap apart,
we can use it as a ruler.

Good idea, inez.

Digit:
hurry!

Hacker:
buzz, delete,
my superb sidekicks,

Would you consider cutting
your vacation a tad short

And rejoining me
a few days early?

I sure could use your help.

No?

What do you mean you're
having a great time?

Listen to me,
you two duncebuckets-

(Dial tone)

Hello? Hello?!

What's happened to this world?

You can't get a good accomplice
anymore!

As soon as my recharge
is complete,

I'll go to ecohaven myself!

Yeowwwww!

Hm...

Inez:
a perfect three!

Your head is three finger
wraps around!

Jackie:
yours too!
We found another match!

Mark it!

Inez:
one head wrap equals
three finger wraps, didge!

Got it!

A cyboid can only
nurture an egg

And write so fast,
you know!

Jackie:
okay, each knot is one
of your foot lengths apart.

How many?

Jackie:
one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven!

So my armspan is about seven
of my foot lengths long!

Let's try one more.

Jackie:
your height is also seven
of your foot-lengths!

Arm span approximately
seven foot lengths!

Height,
approximately the same.

Matt:
look at all we figured out
from just two prints!

Inez:
and if what's true for us
is true for the culprit,

We're in business!

Let's see what this guy
looks like!

Matt:
feet!

Jackie:
height, seven foot lengths.

Inez:
head, three finger wraps!

Jackie:
neck, two finger wraps!

Inez:
armspan, seven foot lengths!

Matt:
hands!

All we need now are
the three suspects

So we can compare each one
to our model.

Inez:
cool!

I'll round 'em up!
You guys hide junior.

We don't wanna lose another
member of the family!

Matt:
ladies and gentlemen,

Using only the footprints
and handprints

Found at the scene
of the crime,

We determined all
of the measurements

You see on this life-size model
of chewcroca's captor!

Unga:
impossible!

Nero:
no me digas!

Target:
how?

By figuring out that some
parts of our bodies

Are the same length as others,

Or are multiple lengths
of others!

Jackie:
whoever took chewcroca will
be the same size as our model!

Time to see which one
of you measures up!

Who's first?

Unga:
fine! I'll go first.
I have nothing to hide!

Inez:
hmm. Mm-mm.
She's too short.

No way she's the culprit.

Told you
I didn't do it!

Target:
neither did i!
See for yourself.

Target's right.

He's much too tall!

Jackie:
(gasp) that leaves you,
mr. Nero.

Impossible!

I am nero, the animal hero.
I would never take chewcroca!

Matt:
oh yeah! Prove it!

See?

Jackie:
yes, he's taller, too!
I knew it!

Oh man, all that work,
and nobody fits our profile.

Digit:
I don't get it.

He looks taller in person
than he does on tv.

Of course! That's because
he's wearing a hat!

Easy amigo!

Jackie:
oh no!

Unga:
(gasp) nero!

You're the one
who took chewcroca!

Nero:
agh! A couple of measurements
don't prove anything!

Inez:
good thing we have lots
of measurements then.

Jackie:
not only do your arms
and height match...

But so does your head size!

Want to show us your feet?
How about your hands?

Huh? Huh?

Nero:
all right, all right!
I did it!

But why? You love animals.

Nero:
she's the reason I did it.

I did it to protect
the rare cyber-croc

From unga and
her circus side show!

After the trap went off,
I was the first on the scene.

I decided then and there
to release chewcroca.

I didn't have enough time
to move her from ecohaven,

So I hid her in a safe place!

And that secret stays with me!

Matt:
nero!

I came here to capture
chewcroca,

And that animal lover
isn't going to stop me!

C'mon, target!

Target:
I thought I was fired.

Unga:
you were.
I just hired you again!

Matt:
c'mon, we can't just stand here.

We've got to find chewcroca
before they do!

Jackie:
but we don't even know
what she looks like.

Nero's the only one
who's ever seen her!

Inez:
um, guys?

We have a situation here.

Jackie:
okay, how many places can
you hide a giant cybercroc?

Oh no.

Those caves are big enough!

Digit:
but there's tons of them!

There's no time
to search them all.

Junior needs his mommy!

Didge is right.

If we could just figure out
how tall chewcroca is,

We'd only have to search the
caves big enough to hold her.

But this footprint is the only
clue we have about her size.

Jackie:
and we can't figure out
her size with a match-up

Because we don't know
her body measures!

(Egg cracks more)

Inez:
guys?

Another clue hatching!

Inez:
amazing!

Wow! A brand new life!
(Giggles)

Digit:
at least now we know what
chewcroca looks like...

Sort of.

That's it! I bet we can use
junior's body measures

To figure out his mom's size!

Inez:
yeah!

Maybe cybercrocs have their
own set of body measures

Just like we do!

Matt:
six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

It takes ten of junior's
footprints

To equal one of mom's!

Inez:
so mom is ten times
the size of junior!

Digit:
two meters tall.

Jackie:
that makes chewcroca...
Meters tall!

Boy, are you in
for a growth spurt!

Nope. Chewy couldn't fit
in here.

It's a lot less than
twenty meters high.

Same here. Keep going!

Thumbs up!
This baby's big enough!

Jackie:
no sign of her in here!

Matt:
don't worry, pal,
we'll find her.

Wu-oh!
This one's way too low!

Greenlight on this one,
guys!

Inez:
nothing so far!

(Roar)

Aaaaahhhh...

(Roar)

(Baby croc noise)

Jackie:
I guess we found chewcroca.

Unga:
(clears troat)

Thanks to those roars,
so did we!

Hacker:
and so have i!

That metal mashing mammoth
is all mine!

And by the way, target...

You're the worst accomplice
I've ever had.

You're fired!

Unga:
you were working for hacker?!

You're fired!

Again? That makes three
times in the same day!

My reputation is ruined!
(Sobs)

Kids:
chewy!

This looks like
a job for the didge!

Just thought I'd cut
you some slack, chewy!

Do your stuff!

Chewcroca:
(roar)

No!

No!

Kids:
(cheers)

(Sigh)
I've been thinking,

Maybe it's not a good idea

To put chewcroca in my circus

Where villains like hacker
can find her

Anytime they want.

Jackie:
good idea, ms. Unga.

Matt:
we're going to hide
chewy and junior

In some unknown cybersite
where nobody can find them.

Excellente!

That's exactly
what I was going to do!

Inez:
bye, bye junior.

Take care of him, chewy.

He's a great kid.

Kids:
ew! (Laugh)
