Post by bunniefuu »

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

Erica ram:
greetings from gollywood...

Home of the starlight night
parade!

I'm erica ram,

And I'm here
at the star station,

Where the grand finale
of our parade will take place.

At midnight, the grand marshal
will throw this switch

Relighting the cyber heavens
for the new year!

Isn't this faboo?

Starlight night carolers:
* we wish you a happy
starlight *

* We wish you a happy
starlight *

Erica ram:
I said, isn't this faboo?!

Starlight night is the biggest
holiday in cyberspace!

(Humming along)

Buzz:
hey! What's the big idea,
boss?!

Delete:
what's wrong?

What's wrong?

Look at this place!

Delete:
for starlight night.

Nice, huh?

Nice? Nice?!

It looks like
the good ship lollipop

In here!

Now listen up,
you pestilential pariahs.

I have a plan that
will end starlight night

And darken the stars
of cyberspace...

Forever!

End starlight night?

B-b-but, boss,

That's my favorite
holiday!

You can't!

Ouch!

Sounds great, boss!

What do you want us to do?

Archimedes:
as grand marshal
of the starlight night parade,

It gives me great pleasure
to pull the master switch

And relight all the cybers
in starspace!

Eukie: (shakes head)
er... All the spaces
in cy-star?

Oh, why did I agree
to do this?

Eukie:
why?

It's a big honor,
archimedes!

Reeka:
huge!

The start of our
new year.

But there won't be
a new year

If we don't get these
circuit boards

Finished and installed in time.

I'm an inventor
not a workshop foreman!

I have work to do!

Careful!

Too much solder!

Now watch what happens
if you don't do this right.

Each circuit board
must be perfect,

Or the cyberstars won't shine!

Then where would we be?

Reeka:
in the dark?

Archimedes:
exactly!

(Sighs) that's why it
takes twenty workers,

Each doing a different job,
to finish just one board.

Reeka:
we can do it!

Eukie:
our workers are the best!

(Horn toot)

Archimedes:
that's the spirit!

Reeka:
lunch truck!

Delete:
donuts!

Get your special free
starlight donuts!

(Workers cheer)

Buzz:
whoa! Save me one
with sprinkles, okay?

Eukie:
chocolate, please?

Reeka:
jelly for me.

Aqua worker:
butter cream!

Green worker:
cinnamon!

Pink worker:
sugar!

Archimedes:
now, let's see,

The parade goes along here

And ends up here
at the master switch.

I pull the switch and-

Hacker:
no!

I pull the switch!

Archimedes:
hacker!

Make that the hacker
to you.

Make that,
the new grand marshal

Of the starlight night
parade!

Yay!

Eukie:
good donuts!

Reeka:
my favorite kind...

Free!

Eukie:
(chuckles)

(Gasp) ahh!
I don't believe it!

Eukie:
the circuit boards...

Wrecked!

Reeka:
w-w-where's archimedes?

(Mechanical whir)

Eukie:
hacker has him!

Eukie and reeka:
archimedes! Archimedes!

No!

Reeka:
call motherboard. Now!

Eukie:
without archimedes,

We'll never get
the circuit boards done in time!

The stars will stop shining

And cyberspace will be dark
forever!

We're doomed!
Done for!

Reeka:
we're saved!

(Giggles)

Inez:
hi eukie.

Jackie:
hi reeka.

Got to work on my landings.

Eukie:
hooray!

Jackie:
mother b said
hacker did some real damage.

Reeka:
we know, we know!

Wow!
She wasn't kidding.

Matt:
okay, calm down.

We're here to help you

Get this factory up
and running again.

Eukie:
but only archimedes knows how!

Reeka:
and hacker took him away!

Chaos is coming!

Matt:
I say we split up!

You know I hate
when we do that.

Jackie:
didge, we don't have
any choice.

We've got to get these
circuit boards working

By midnight tonight!

Inez:
and we have to save archimedes!

Okay, here's the game plan.

Didge, you stay with me.

Digit:
phew!

Matt:
jax, you go with inez
and rescue archimedes!

Hacker probably took him
to the northern frontier.

Inez:
sure you can drive this thing?

Jackie:
inez, how can you ask me
a question like that?

Inez:
'cause you're putting
the starter key

Into the laser blaster!

Jackie:
oh. I was just testing you.

Which way
to the northern frontier?

Inez:
third star and hang a right!

The other way!

I said right! Whoa!

Digit:
hey! Are you guys lifting
your end or what?

This is heavy!

Eukie:
really heavy!

Matt:
of course we're lifting!

Are you?

Can we just move
the table?

Matt:
okay, you four - to work!

Aqua worker:
need a torx driver!

Pink worker:
seen my solder iron?

Green worker:
where's my wire wrapper?

Matt:
guys, guys!
Find your own tools!

I can't do everything!

Get to work!

Other workers:
what about us?
What about me? And me?

Matt:
didge, we need more tables!

What happened to please?

Matt:
didge, please isn't gonna get
these circuit boards

Done on time!

We need more tables!

Fine, but why not figure out
how many we need,

So we can bring 'em
all down at once

Instead of one at a time!

Eukie:
good idea!

Reeka:
why didn't you think of that?

Matt:
I don't even know
how many workers are here.

Eukie and reeka:
twenty!

Matt:
okay. That's a start.

Pink worker:
screw twister!

Green worker:
glue! Glue! Glue!

Matt:
get it yourself... Please!

Man, there's got to be some
simple way to figure out

How many tables we need.

Wait a second!

I just might have an idea!

Let's make believe this shingle
is a table

And these washers
are the workers.

Eukie:
don't forget,
we need twenty places!

Reeka:
yeah, twenty!

I know.
We'll get to them.

Right now, I need to keep
the problem simple.

Now, if we put one worker on
each side of the table,

One table will give us room
for four workers.

Digit:
um... We already know that,
matty.

We need more tables!

But how many?

Well, let's add more shingles
and count our places.

This first table gives us
four places.

The second one
gives us eight.

Then twelve,

And one more gives us
sixteen total.

Not enough places!

What do we do?

Digit:
uh... How about we add
one more table?

Touchdown, didge!

And another four makes twenty.

We need five tables
for twenty workers.

Reeka:
a place for every worker.

Eukie:
and a worker for every place.

Digit:
let's get those tables
down here!

Hey! Isn't anyone gonna help?

Inez:
easy.

Nose down... Down... Down!

Jax, hit the brake!

The brake.

The brake!

(Sigh of relief)
great landing, jax.

Next stop the grim wreaker!

Imagine this, arky.

Without you to put those
new circuit boards in place,

Cyberspace will become
as dark as my heart.

(Laughs)

If I had a heart.

Scoundrel!

At last!

Someone who appreciates
my genius.

Archimedes:
why not use your brainpower
for good instead of bad?

Delete:
there's an idea, boss!

Maybe you don't have
to ruin starlight night.

(Buzz chuckles)

Buzz:
don't listen to him, boss.

He's overwhelmed
with holiday spirit.

Right, deedee?

(Muffled)
mmmmmrmphrmph.

Hacker:
come, let me show you some
of my contemptible creations.

Reeka:
this is going way too slow!

Eukie:
they're running out of time!

Digit:
they're running
into each other!

Matt:
okay, I can see
this isn't working.

We have to get organized.

Archimedes
was organized.

Yeah, very.

Okay then, tell me what
you know about this process.

Reeka:
each circuit
takes twenty steps.

Eukie:
steps must be done in order!

Reeka:
one worker finishes step,

Brings board to other table.

Eukie:
see? Doesn't flow.
Way too slow!

Matt:
I think I know what to do!

Let's try a straight line!

If everyone lined up
next to each other,

In the right order,

They can just pass the parts
from one to the next

Like an assembly line.

Let me guess.

We're gonna move
the tables again.

Hacker:
one of my most proficient plans
ever!

An energy siphonizer
disguised as a statue!

Archimedes:
ooh, very sly, hacker,

But a waste of superior
intelligence.

Imagine all the wonderful
things you could do

For cyberspace.

I'm afraid I'm much too busy
imagining

All the wonderful things
I can do for myself!

(Laughs)

Archimedes:
but plunging cyberspace
into total darkness...

That's so cruel.
Why?

Because black
is one of my favorite colors,

That's why!

And darkness is good.

It's so... Dark!

Eukie:
tables together now!

Matt:
now the chairs! Hurry!

Okay, workers,
take your seats!

Digit:
yoikes! There aren't
enough places!

Matt:
we've still got five tables,

But now there's only room
for twelve!

What happened?

Reeka:
eight not sitting!

Eukie:
maybe motherboard
sent wrong kid.

She did not!

Oh, man, this problem
is harder than I thought!

Ooh, the boss is not gonna be
happy about this, deedee.

Delete:
sure he will, buzzy.

It's a holiday!
He'll get used to it.

Hacker:
ah, memories...
How sweet they are.

Here's me again.

This is when I stole
the wizard's power

And became a giant!

Ooh! Check out the eyes!

Laser beams.
Nice touch.

But think of all the good
you could do

With ultra-powerful
laser beams.

Forget about it!

Excuse me, I have
to prepare for the parade.

If I don't find a way back
to eureeka,

Darkness will shroud
cyberspace forever!

Inez: (whisper)
psst! Archimedes, over here!

Jackie:
we're here to save you!

Inez:
now!

Delete:
buzzy, they got arkiweedies!

Oh, they're getting away!

Go tell the boss!

You tell him!

Buzz:
somebody's got to tell him!

Inez:
good job, jax!

We're home free.

Archimedes:
oh! Not yet, I'm afraid!

Dodge and weave, jax!
Dodge and weave!

I'm dodging!

I'm weaving!

Can't this heap going faster,
archimedes?

I never knew
it could go this fast!

Buzz:
boss! They're heading straight
for the garbage dump!

Delete:
they're gonna be trashed!

Hacker:
don't you just love it
when that happens?!

(Laughs)

Let's go to the parade!

Hacker:
(evil laughter)

Jackie:
eww! What is all this stuff?

Cyberjunk! Watch out!

Jackie:
oh no. We're hit!

Inez:
may day! May day!

Starlight night just hours away!

Reeka:
no time for yo-yo,
need go-go!

Matt:
guys, I'm freaked enough, okay?

I can't think
if you keep talking!

Eukie and reeka:
sorry.

Okay, matt, chill.

The problem is
we don't have enough places?

Eukie:
figure it out yet?

Matt:
eukie! You're doing it again!

Okay, let's start simple,
like last time.

One table - four workers.

But when I pushed the two
tables together-

Whoops! That's it!

That's what happened!

What happened?

When we shoved
the tables together

We lost all the places
where they touched.

Two here and here
and here and here.

We lost the eight places!

Reeka:
so we need more tables
for lost places!

Eukie:
but how many more?

Matt:
I think I can figure it out
with more shingles.

Let's start over.

Digit:
here you go, mattster.

Hm. Okay.

So, I get two places
for each shingle.

So, lined up like this,

And counting like
I did last time.

That's two, four, six, eight,

Ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen,
eighteen.

Plus two more
for the places at the end

Gives us twenty.

Touchdown!

Let's get 'em!

One problem.

Don't have nine
tables.

Reeka:
only five.

Hacker smashed
the rest!

Inez:
matt, it's inez!

Can you hear me?

Matt!

My skwak is broken.

Something must have
happened to it when we crashed.

Archimedes:
hurry, jackie!

We've got to get
back to the factory!

I'm doing the best I can!

Maybe if I took a look
under there?

Jackie:
like that's gonna help?

Inez:
oh. So I don't know anything
about fixing things,

Is that it?

Jackie:
no, this is it.

The gaget that gets
this crate flying again!

Get ready to rumble!

Okay. So nobody's perfect!

Matt:
I'm stumped!

It's like trying
to hit a hockey puck

With a toothpick.

You can't do it!

We need nine tables to seat
all twenty workers.

But we only have five!

Reeka:
give up?

Matt:
never!

Inez:
excuse me.

But maybe the liftoff
uptake is loose.

Yeah right.

The liftoff uptake is loose.

Archimedes:
good idea, inez. I'll try it.

Give it a go, jackie.

It worked?

It worked!

To the factory, jax!

Maybe the circuit boards
are done.

It's too late to go
to the factory!

If the boards are done,

I need to install them.

Take me to the star
station! Now!

Jackie:
hang on, guys!

We're going to gollywood!

Erica ram:
in less than two hours,
the parade will start.

The crowd can't wait!

Isn't this just the most
thrilling night of the year?

Matt:
okay, we don't have nine tables
we just have five.

So I need to find a way that
uses the five tables we have.

Time out!
Do you see what I see?

In unison:
what?

Matt:
the tables aren't square!

They're rectangles.

Like those shingles!

So, how does that help?

Matt:
look, these two sides
are longer than the other two.

Eukie:
more room for more workers?

Matt:
exactly!

One table is the simpler case.

See? One, two, three, four!

Reeka:
but only have five tables,
remember?

Eukie:
yeah, five. Only five!

Not to worry,
the kid's a professional.

Here are the five tables
we have to work with.

Four workers.

Eight workers.

Twelve.

Sixteen.

Twenty.

Lined up this way,
five tables gives us...

All:
twenty!

Twenty places
for twenty workers!

Matty, you're a genius!

Let's do it, g*ng!

There's still time
to save starlight night!

Matt:
way to go, guys!

We're going to
make it in time!

Digit:
all we gotta do is plug 'em in!

Carolers:
* at the first stroke
of starlight, *

* What will my true love see?

* The stars shining bright
as can be! *

Digit:
come on, guys, faster!

They're almost ready
on the stage.

You do know how
to install these,

Don't you?

Well, sorta.

Kinda.

It's really...

Archimedes job.

Matt:
oh, now you tell me?

Erica ram:
hello, it's me again,
with some really big news!

We've just learned
that archimedes

Will not be the grand marshall
of the parade.

Instead, the grand marshall
will be...

Who?

The hacker?

Parade-goers:
(booing)

Hacker:
hear that, boys?

They don't like us!

They really don't like us!

(Evil laugh)

Archimedes:
there's still time!

Follow me!

Erica ram:
how does it feel
to be the grand marshal?

Hacker:
how does it feel to be
interviewing the hacker, huh?

Excuse me?

Hacker:
as the grandest marshall ever,

It gives me great pleasure
to throw the master star switch.

Let the countdown begin!

Crowd:
ten, nine, eight, seven,

Six, five, four, three...

Hurry!

Crowd:
two, one!

Happy holiday, everyone!

(Laughs)

(Crowd gasps)

Matt:
here's the last one.

Archimedes:
done! We're back online!

(Crowd cheers)

What happened?!

I had the perfect plan!

Delete:
don't feel bad, boss.

Look, isn't it beautiful?

All:
* starlight night,
lovely sight *

* Cyberstars beaming bright

* Friends and family,
people we love, *

* Join us watching
the heavens above *

* May the stars
always twinkle *

* May all your starlights
be bright! *
