(Banging)

Boss,
you okay in there?

C'mon, you gotta
eat somethin'.

This is terrible,
buzzy.

The boss has been holed up
in his top-secret lab

Ever since those earthbrats
saved motherboard

And took back cyber-

(Bangs open)

I've done it!

I've conceived
a plan even more ingenious

And inventive
than ever before!

The hacker
shall rise again!

(Laughs manically)

Buzz? Delete?

Where are
those two duncebuckets?!

(Door squeaks)

(Peeling sound)

(Loud crash)

Motherboard:
hacker's virus
may have me down...

But rest assured,
my young friends,

I'm far from out.

We were really
worried about you.

Now that the encryptor chip
is gone,

(Static)

I'll need your help
more than ever.

You need us,

We're here!

It's just too bad
we can't get the chip back -

Then you'd be all better.

At least
hacker's gone, too!

Motherboard:
don't be so sure,
my friends.

Who knows
what he's up to?

(Static)

But I do know this...
With your help,

(Static)

We're stronger
than hacker could ever be!

Count on us,
mother b!

We're with you!

All right!

Digit:
hey, earthlies!

I hate to interrupt,

But I got
a little problem here.

Jackie:
what's up, didge?

Digit:
what's up is this:

I got cyber-cells
to send

To four different sites

And I can't figure out

How many to put
into each box!

Look at this mess!

Each site has to get
the same number of cells,

But no matter what
I try,

The amounts
don't come out even.

Jackie:
hmmm.

Four sites.
Cells, right?

Right.
I told motherboard

I'm not
a packing specialist!

You don't
have to be

A special anything,
didge.

You just need to know
what number

Times four equals .

But...
How do I find that out?!

Well, first you need
to get organized.

(Cells clatter to floor)

Look...
You've got four sites...

(Each clangs on floor)

Start with one cell
for each site.

Yeah, but what about
all these other cells?

Then just keep adding
rows of four cells...

...until there aren't
anymore!

(Clanging of cells)

Hey! Now I know how many
to put into each box!

Jackie:
yep! Four boxes...

Nine cells in each box.

No cells leftover!

Digit:
and times is .

Bingo!

And each site
gets nine cells.

I'm a genius!

(A phone rings)

Digit:
huh?

(Hatch opens)

Control central,
the didge here.

Crab prince:
digit!
It's me, the crab prince!

Hey, princey.
How goes it?

Not good!

Icky's missing!

You gotta help me
find him!

Meet me
at icky's cave.

We'll be there
in a splash.

Motherboard,

We got a problem
in aquari-yum!

What can we do to help,
motherboard?

Go with digit.

(Static)

Remember,

Icky feeds off the natural
energy of aquari-yum.

What if he's trapped
somewhere?

What if
he can't feed?

What then?

Motherboard:
aquari-yum will boil over!

Wow!

We better
find him fast!

The cybersquad
is back in business!

(Cyberpod whooses by)

Digit:
purple bean grotto...

Home of icky,
the giant cyberslug.

(Whirs open)

Matt:
c'mon,
let's find the prince.

Jackie:
ewww! Ewww!
Double ewww!

I cannot believe it.

We're swimming
through string beans?

Matt: (mockingly)
I'm scared!

What if a giant asparagus
jumps out and eats us!

Ah!

(Inez laughs)

Matt!

Relax, there's nothin'
to be afraid of down here.

Hi, guys!

Yikes!

All:
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!!!

Guys, guys...it's me!

Hey, princey,
any sign of icky?

Nothing!
I've looked everywhere.

Even checked
his secret hideaway!

Nobody's seen him
for days.

Aquari-yum's huge!

He could be anywhere!

Hold on!

Princey isn't there
some wise old fish down here

Who's supposed to know
everything about everything?

You mean...
Manny the medium?

Yeah, that's him!

Maybe he can tell us
where icky is.

Where do we find
this manny guy?

At the top
of mount parsnipiss.

Inez:
all the way up there?

What if we
get there,

And manny doesn't know
where icky is?

We'll have wasted
all that time!

Then what?!

And the award for best speech
by a drama queen,

Goes to...
Jackie!

I am not
a drama queen!

I just want
to make sure

We have
the right plan.

Inez:
jackie's right.

We shouldn't all go up
to the top of the mountain.

It's better
if we split up.

I'll stay here

And keep
looking for icky.

I'll hang
with the prince -

If you don't mind!

C'mon, crabby...
Let's look for icky!

Is it something
I said?

Isn't it always?

Digit:
let's go, earthlies!

Next stop,
mount parsnipiss!

(Motor sputters and chokes)

Wu-oh!

It won't start!
It's flooded!

(Gasps)

Whoo...that's a long
swim up there.

Hey!
I have an idea!

(Bubbles gurgle)

Thanks, guys.

Whoa!

Matt:
man,is this cool or what?!

(Bubbles gurgle)

What's wrong?

Oooh! I hate it
when matt makes fun of me!

I don't think
he meant to hurt you.

Usually, you only tease
the ones you really like.

You think?

Make room,
I gotta pace!

(Flippers smack)

What are you doing?

Trying to think
where icky could be -

But it's hard
to pace underwater.

Stop pushin'!

I'm not pushin'.
Move faster!

I can't!
I'll bump the boss!

Hacker:
knock if off!

Icky's secret hideaway
is here somewhere, and...

Oh ho!
Hello, what's this?

Well, well, well...

Icky's secret hideaway
isn't so secret anymore!

Follow me!

(Alarms sounds)

(Bang)

(Alarm continues)

(Gasps)
what's that?

What happened?

Crab prince:
someone's inside
icky's secret hideaway!

Maybe
icky came back!

What if
it's not icky?!

Let's find out!

Hacker:
this,
my fiendish friends,

Is where my journey
back to greatness begins!

Start looking!

If icky's secret hideaway
is so secret,

How do you know
where it is?

Because I'm the prince.

It's my job
to keep it a secret.

This way!

(Wispering)
someone is inside!

But it's not icky!

It's hacker!

Manny:
(snores)

Digit:
there he is...
Manny the medium.

(Snores)

Excuse me...

Mr. Medium?

(Snorts)

Lemme handle this.

Rise and shine,
big boy!

(Digit lands with a thud)

(Bubbles gurgle)

Hey,
who woke me?!

Both:
he did!

Ehn.

(Flops down)

(Snoring resumes)

Mr. Medium?

Sir?

Please don't
go back to sleep.

This is
an emergency!

Digit: (pinched nose voice)
we gotta find icky,

He's been missing
for two days.

You have to help us!

Aquari-yum will
boil over if icky--

Oh please, I know
the whole boiling over story.

I helped write it.

As a matter of fact--

Inez
mr. Medium!

What??

Do you know
where icky is?

(Yawns)

Don't rush me.

All right.
Here we go.

Looking...
Looking... Looking...

(Yawns)

(Snores)

Oh great!

Manny!!!

(Things thrown about)

(Loud crash)

Hey, buzzy?
You find it yet?

I don't even know
what we're lookin' for.

Hey, boss!

(Glass shatters)

Uh, what are we
lookin' for?

I'll tell you
when we find it!

Buzz:
oh, okay.

Keep lookin'!

(Loud crash)

Why do I have to
do everything myself,

You bumbling boltheads!

I was the one who came
up with the perfect plan!

I was the
who locked up icky

Where nobody
will ever find him

So we could sneak in
here and grab the-

Delete:
boss!

Buzz:
over here!

Delete:
look what we found!

I should have known!

A secret hideaway
in icky's secret hideaway!

(Laughs)

Oh, no!

I can't
let them go there.

(Skwak beeps)

Guys! It's me!

(Snores)

Hacker's got icky
locked up somewhere!

Hacker??!

Yup, the hack's back!

And he's after something
in icky's secret room!

You gotta find icky
and fast!

We're tryin',
jax.

Get back to you.

Digit:
I shoulda known
the hacker was behind this!

Manny:
(gasps)

I see icky!

Where?
Where is he?

(Lands with thud)

(Snores)

Manny,
listen to me.

You have to help us.

I think
I know where he is.

(Yawns and snores)

Ugh! Guys,
this is hopeless.

(Bubbles gurgle)

What's with the bubbles?

Hey! Each of these bubbles
has a picture inside it!

And each one
has a number!

Number pairs...
Find the place...

(Snores)

Number pairs
find the place?

What's that
supposed to mean?

Well, we've got
eight bubbles

With pictures
and numbers in them.

Manny:
... ...

Need twenty.

(Snores)

What??!

Maybe a pair of these
numbers add up to ?

But we only have the numbers
through .

There aren't two
numbers big enough

To add up to !

Maybe instead
of adding pairs -

We have to multiply
two numbers.

But which two numbers
make

When you multiply
them together?

I know!
Times !

Hey, you're right,
didge.

Times
is .

But we don't have
the number -

So it can't
be that pair.

How about
we make rows

And columns of seashells -

Like we did
with the cells?

Here's shells.

Digit:
okay, but what if and

Are the only numbers that make
when you multiply 'em?!

That's what
we're going to find out.

We're looking
for other factors of -

Other numbers that
when multiplied together

Give us ,
with no leftovers.

Matt:
well, it can't be
times .

You've got leftovers.

Try five in a row,
try five!!

Times is -
with no leftovers!

Whoa! There's more than
one pair of numbers

That multiply to .

Who knew?

Let's go to the bubbles!

Matt:
pair the numbers...

Find the place,
that's what manny said.

The pictures
must be places!

Okay, our pair of numbers
is four and five.

Bubble four is...
A hot dog!

And bubble five is...
A hill.

Digit:
hot dog hill!

Icky must be
at hot dog hill!

Matt:
are we sure?

Oh!

We still have bubbles six,
seven and eight left.

If we multiply
times , it's .

And that's more than !

So it can't be
any of those bubbles!

You're right!
Hot dog hill it is.

But how do
we get there?

Manny: (sleepily)
turn left
at the bagel bushes -

Take celery slide
all the way down.

You can't miss it.

(Yawns)

Now good luck
and good night.

Matt:
jax,
we know where icky is!

We're on our way
there now.

(Skwak beeps)

Hit it, guys!

All:
whoa!

Ah!

Oh no,
watch out!

All:
ahhhhhh!

(Splash landing)

Digit:
tell me when
this is over!

(Gush)

All:
yeowwwwwwww...!!!

(Lands with thud)

How cool was that?!

Now all we have to do
is find hot dog hill.

Guess what, guys?
We found it!

All:
icky!!!

(Feelers spark and buzz)

(Bubbles gurgle)

We came here
for one thing -

And one thing only.
And this is it!

It's so bright!

Buzz:
what is it, boss?

You are looking
at the extraordinary

Electric eel
of aquari-yum!

Buzz:
wow!

Delete:
no kidding!

Um...what's it do?

It's icky's backup
energy source.

This eel generates
more power

Than you
can even imagine!

So that's why hacker
got rid of icky -

So he could
steal the eel!

You mean it's icky's job
to guard it?

Uh-huh. And my job
is to make sure

Nothing
happens to icky.

Now we're both
in trouble.

No way! We'll stop
hacker right now.

(Eel buzzes with electricity)

(Creaks shut)

(Laughs diabolically)

Jackie:
put it back, hacker!

Yeah!

Put it back
and we'll let you go!

(Claws clang shut)

Let me go??

You must be joking!

What can a small child
and lobster do

To stop the hacker,
huh?

First of all,
I am a crab -

Not a lobster!

And second of all,...
He's a prince!

Well, excuse me,
your royal crabiness.

Don't just float there -

Do something!

(Water bubbles)

(Lever cranks)

(Whooshing)

(Gurgling)

They got away!

We've got to stop them!

Matt!
Did you find icky?

We found him,

But he's caged up tight!

Jackie:
you've got to get him out

And meet us back
at icky's!

Hacker's got
the electric eel of aquari-yum!

(Skwak beeps off)

What's the electric eel
of aquari-yum?

Icky's back-up
power source!

Whoa, that's not good
for icky.

C'mon,
we have to free him!

(Grunts)

A hexalock!

It's gonna take six numbers
to unlock this thing!

How are we ever
gonna figure that out?

Let me take
a look at that...

I knew it!

I made this lock
when I worked for hacker.

Cool!
What's the combination?

I uh...i didn't
do the combination -

Hacker did.

Oh, great.
Now what?

Hang on! I remember
the combination

Had something to do
with the number ...

But I don't remember what.

It can't be just -

We need six numbers!

Inez:
maybe we need to find

The factors
of thirteen.

Yeah!
Maybe the combination

Is a list of all
the factors of thirteen!

It's worth a try!

Let's go to the rows
and columns!

We can use these
pickles to lay it out!

Uh-oh!

And
aren't factors of ,

'Cause there's one leftover.

Inez:
and aren't
factors of , either -

There's still a leftover!

Didge, you sure
the number is ?

Uh...um...
Sorry, wrong number.

May-
maybe it was twelve.

Hey,
it was a long time ago!

Okay, okay,
let's try twelve.

Hey, check this out!

If we take away
this leftover,

We have a -by-
rectangle.

And times
is !

So and
are factors of !

Matt:
a -by- rectangle works,
too - no leftovers.

And times
is !

Two and six...got it!

But that's only
four numbers -

We need six!

Matt:
I've got it!

Times
is !

One and twelve...
Check!

Look at that!

Twelve has
three pairs of factors

Just what
we're lookin' for!

I'll plug 'em in!

Call 'em off, inez!

Inez:
one and twelve...

Two and six...

Three and four!

(The lock springs)

Matt:
it worked!

Yesss!

(Creaks open)

(Slithers out)

C'mon, icky!
Let's go home!

(Bubbles gurgle)

To the wreaker!

(Laughs)

Matt:
not so fast, hacker!

Inez:
you've got something
that belongs to icky!

Digit:
hand it over!

Finders keepers!

The eel of aquari-yum
wasn't lost -

You stole it!

A mere technicality!

Both:
icky!

You're safe!
Aw, you'll be okay, now.

(Electric zapping)

Crab prince:
if I were you,hacker,

I'd give back the eel.

Icky's hungry -

And he thinks you're
a good source of energy.

(Electric zapping)

What?!

Um...
Perhaps we can negotiate?!

(Zaps)

All right,
ah, suppose

I just borrow it
for a while?

(Angry growl)

Fine!

You can
have it back!

How could you?!

Boss!

All that work!

As for you,
you overblown bubblehead...

I'll be back!

(Deep breath)

(Blows strong current)

Inez:
way to go, icky!

(Zaps and buzzes)

Crab prince:
thanks for everything, guys.

Come back and visit
any time you want.

I gotta put
the eel back.

Digit:
later, prince!

Kids:
see ya', icky!

Digit:
see ya, icky!

Hey, jax.

I'm sorry about
what I said before.

I was just kidding.

Ha!
Just kidding?

How could you?

How could you be
so insensitive?!

So cruel?!
So...shallow?!!!

Huh?

Just kidding.

Jax!

(Laughs)
got'cha!

Delete:
don't feel bad, boss.

Yeah,
don't be upset.

Hey, we'll find another way
to take over cyberspace.

Upset?

Au contraire,
my naive' nitwits!

Behold...

The electric eel
of aquari-yum!

But..we saw you
give it back!

What you failed to see
was the old switcheroo.

Just like those earthbrats
and that cyber-turkey!

Buzz:
you mean,

You took the real eel?

And gave them back
a fake one?!

Precisely my plan
all along -

Icky won't miss his
back-up energy source

Until he needs it.

By then,
it'll be too late!

This eel
is just the beginning

Of my new
and scandalous scheme!

Cyberspace
will once again be mine!

(Evil maniacal laughter)
