(Grumbling)
whose idea was it

To go on this dangerous mission
alone?

Oh yeah, mine.

(Thud)

(Annoyed)
hey! Watch where
you're goin', buster!

(Squawk)

Same to you!

Where was i?

Oh yeah...

Lookin' for discardia.

Ah! There it is!

Sheesh, what a dump!

(Into skwak pad)
I've reached discardia,
motherboard.

What am I looking for again?

Find the forever
gone machine.

Place the network interface
card inside.

Place the nic
into the forever gone machine.

Got it!

Motherboard:
remember, if hacker
gets that card,

He can use it to activate
the transformatron

And transform himself
into anything he wants!

Not to worry,
motherboard.

The nic's as good as gone!

A-ha! The forever
gone machine!

Thataway!

Bingo! There it is!

Hope no one's lookin'
for a cyboid

Carrying something
important.

Scratch:
(squawk, squawk)

Yoikes! You again!

What a pest!

Wuh-oh, I better find
a better spot for this

Till I get to the machine!

Here?
No, here!

Maybe here!
Shee.

Machine:
whatever you leave,
no one can retrieve.

Place your item
in the holder now.

Item! Holder!
Now! Okay!

Wuh-oh!

Place your item
in the holder now!

(Panicky)
I just had it!

It's gotta be here!

(Gasps) it's gone!

Did you say...gone?

It was in my hatch!

I mean, under my wing!

No, under my hat?

I don't know where it is!

What am I gonna do?!

To begin with,
don't panic.

Can you turn around...

Go back the way you came,

Retrace your steps?

Good idea.

I'll just follow
my footprints

Back to where I started!

Except there are
no footprints!

Motherboard?!

Get a grip, digit,
I heard you.

Can you draw a map
on the skwak

So I can see
exactly where you walked?

Okay, okay.
I'll draw a map.

I started here
at the arrow sign

And walked straight
to the machine.

Motherboard:
did you zigzag
or wander around?

Nope.

I walked in a straight line
all the way.

Motherboard:
like this?

Uh-huh! Yeah!
Just like that!

Then the nic has to be
on that line.

Only one straight line
between two points.

Digit:
gotcha!

Now walk back
in a straight line.

Look for the nic.

Digit:
but motherboard...

How can I follow a line
when there is no line?

Make your own.

Use your laser pointer.

Hurry, digit!

Head back along the line
to where you started.

Digit: (to himself)
I'm on the line.

Only one straight line
between two points.

And there's the nic!

Scratch:
(squawk)

Hey!
Come back with that!

Noooooooooooo!

A-ha!

I knew that cyberturkey
was up to something!

(Squawks)

Well done, scratch.
Well done.

The nic is mine...
(Kiss)

Again!

(Laughs)

Delete: (panting)
grab 'im, buzzy!

Get 'im!

I'm tryin',
deedee!

How come you let him out
in the first place!

I didn't mean to.

I just wanted
to pet 'im.

(Frustrated grunts)

(Frustrated grunts)

Buzz and delete:
got 'im!

Buzz! Delete!

Look what I have.

Buzz? Delete?

Where are you,
you two duncebuckets?!

Buzz:
hi, boss!

Delete:
welcome home!

Would you two
mind telling me

What you're doing
with my hamborg?

Nothin', boss.

Everything's fine.

Yeah.
He uh...

He got out of his cage
and we caught 'im.

Good!

Now that I have the nic,

I simply type in
my instructions.

The nic sends them
to the transformatron.

The hamborg pumps in
the power

And the subject
is transformed

Into whatever I choose!

Sounds great, boss!

Er...where's the subject?

Hacker:
right here!

Buzz:
not again!

Take deedee this time!

No!
He used me last time.

Did not!

Did, too!

Zip it, you tinwits!

I just want to make sure
everything is still working.

Cheese please!

Thank you.

(Transformatron powers up)

(Clucking)
bok, bok, bawk!

Brilliant!

Shhhh!

Jackie:
it's awful quiet.

Matt:
too quiet.

Digit:
nothin'!
Nobody home!

Jackie:
hm...wonder where they all went?

Orange hair?

Jackie:
ewwwww!

Stinky cheese!

Double ewwww!

Matt:
guys! Over here!

A note from hacker.

What's it say?
What's it say?

(Reading)
"greetings, earthbrats!

If you've found this note,

Then you know
I'm not here.

I've taken
the transformatron

And the nic
to a secret place.

Ha ha ha!"

It's not funny, matt.

I'm just reading.

It says here
"ha ha ha."

Let me see that.

Hey! Check this out!

"Hamborg for sale.

Complete with wheel,
cage and cheese.

Cheap!"

Hamborg hair!

Hamborg cheese!

Ew!

I used to have a hamster

Not big and orange though.

It had a wheel
just like this.

When it ran on it,
the wheel turned.

But why would hacker need
a hamborg to turn a wheel?

'Cause turning wheels
generate power!

They make things go.

Yeah! Power!

We took away hacker's
last power source,

Remember?

The electric eel
of aquar-i-yum!

Jackie:
that's it!

Even though hacker
has the nic,

He still needs
a power source

To make
the transformatron work!

The hamborg!

Inez:
exactly!

Come on,

We gotta find hacker
and fast!

Jackie:
I'll go with you!

The wreaker's here,

So they can't be
too far away.

Guys, wait!

Hacker knows
we'll go looking for him.

So I'll stay here with didge
in case he doubles back.

Be careful out there,
earthlies!

It's not a friendly place!

Game on, jax.

We gotta find hacker
before he transforms himself

Into something terrible!

Got your skwak?

Got it!
Keep in touch.

(Squawk, squawk)

Man, talk about unfriendly.

This is totally creepy.

(Deep breath)
get it together, girl.

I used to think
sandcastles were cool.

Not anymore.

(Gust of wind)

What was that?!

(Gust of wind)

Whoa!
That was weird!

(Squawk)

Buzz:
don't turn me
into a chicken again,

Okay, boss?

Yeah, he'd rather be
a giant donut.

(Laughs)

Ah, scratch,
you've returned.

What did you find out?

(Squawks)

(Chuckles)
those earthbrats have begun
to look for me,

But it's too late!

It's time to transform!

What are you gonna
turn into, boss?

You'll see soon enough.

Energize the transformatron!

(Powering up)

Hacker:
ahhhh!

It's working!

I'm transforming!

Youhoo!

Orange fireworks?!

(Gasps)
or is it...?

It is!

Hamborg hair!

Inez, it's far away,

But I can see where
the transformatron is

And hacker's using it!

Where?
Where is it?!

Somewhere between me
and a snowy mountain peak.

Digit:
that's sneaky peak!

Where are you, jax?

In some kind of forest
with no leaves on the trees!

Bleak pines!

It's about four hundred
cybermeters east of here.

If I could draw
a straight line

From me to sneaky peak,

The transformatron
would be on it somewhere!

You can draw a line.

Use your skwak.

Activate the laser!

It's working!

The transformatron
is on the line!

(Maniacal laugh)

Buzz and delete:
(in shock) boss!

Buzz:
you're a balloon?

Ta-ta...

I'm off to pay motherboard
a little visit!

Man the machine
till I return!

You know, buzzy,

I always knew the boss
was full of hot air.

(Laughing)

Hey, buzzy,
you want some donuts?

Oh-ho...
You know I love donuts.

What kind you want?

Chocolate cream
with strawberries.

But those are
just rocks.

Not after we transform 'em!

Chocolate cream
with strawberries...

Comin' up!

Buzz:
he's off and runnin'!

Matt:
come on, hacker,
where are you?

Yiiikes!

That you, hacker?

(Ssss)

Yeow!

If you are the hacker,

I like the old look
better!

If you're not...

Would you please
just go away?

Yeah!
And don't come back!

Phew!

Hey! What's this?

Orange stuff!
Could it be...?

Yes!
I found the transformatron!

Inez, didge!

I see hamborg hair
sh**ting up!

I see it, too!

Inez:
way to go, guys!

The transformatron's
somewhere

Between where you are
and sneaky peak!

No! Not sneaky peak!

I'm on a sand dune

And the transformatron
is on a straight line

Between me
and a bird-shaped mountain!

The dunes
and eagle rock!

But how can matt see a mountain
shaped like a bird

When jackie sees one
with snow on it?!

Somebody's gotta be wrong!

Jackie:
well, it's not me!

I'm looking right
at a snowy mountain!

I'm telling you,

It's on a straight line
between me and eagle rock!

So you're wrong about
where the transformatron is!

No way!
I am not wrong!

Hacker:
oh, motherboard...

What big plans
I have for you...

(Nasty laugh)

Matt, jackie,
just stay there

And stop arguing,
okay?

Give us a chance
to figure this out.

Okay,
what do we know?

We know there's only
one transformatron,

So it can't be on
the line jackie sees

And the line
that matt sees.

Can it?

'Cause the same thing

Can't be on two different lines
at once, right?

Right...i think.

Let's see.

Let's say this stick
is jackie,

And this white rock
is sneaky peak.

If we draw a straight line
connecting these two points...

One straight line
comin' up.

Inez:
so the transformatron has to be
somewhere on this line.

Not so fast!

Matt's here at the dunes

And here's eagle rock.

And he saw
the transformatron

On this line
that connects them.

How is that possible?

How can one transformatron
be on two different lines

At the same time?

And they're parallel!

Digit:
when two lines are parallel,

They stay the same distance
apart forever.

They can never meet.
Even I know that!

But the transformatron
has to be someplace on a line

Where they can
both see it?

So where is it?!

Delete:
you know, I think the boss
got that cybird

Just to spy on us
when he's gone.

Yeah,
like he doesn't trust us.

That doesn't make me happy.

Me, either.

But you know what
would make me happy?

What?

If I had a little bunny.

You know
how I love bunnies.

Sure!
Let's make you one.

(Transformatron powers up)

There it is again!

Guys, check my skwak!

Can you see the orange
between me and sneaky peak?

Digit:
yeah! We see it, jax!

Matt:
I see it too!

But on a line
to eagle rock

Not sneaky peak!

I don't believe it.

They're both right!

We better call motherboard

Maybe she can
figure this out.

Hacker:
ah, yes.
Payback is so sweet!

My plan is working perfectly!

Just let out a little air
and...

I'm innnnnn...

Motherboard:
(alarm sounds)
security breach!

Danger mode.

Activate protective shields!

Don't bother, motherboard.

It's too late!

The hacker has won!

Look at me,
look at me,

I'm the emperor
of cyberspace!

I now control
control central!

Never!

Goodness will prevail!

Not this time,
motherboard!

The hacker is here to stay!

(Powering down)

(Phone rings)

Control central,
the hacker speaking.

No, make that the new
and improved leader

Of cyberspace!

(Snapping)
who is this?!

Hacker!

What have you done
with motherboard?

Oh, do I detect the shocked
and dismayed voice

Of an earthbrat?

This is inez,

And I demand to know

What you've done
with motherboard!

Well, if you must know,

I've transformed myself
and taken her place!

Don't call again!

We gotta do somethin'!

If we can just pull the nic
out of the transformatron,

Hacker will transform
back to what he was!

But we have to find
the machine

To pull out the nic

And we don't have a clue
where it is!

Wait a second!

I made a mega mistake!

Eagle rock isn't here!

It's here!

Now I gotta move
the string too.

Inez:
oh my gosh!

The two lines cross!

So there is one point
that's on both lines -

The place where they cross!

Digit:
yep, right here!

Which means the mattster
and the jackster

Are looking at the same thing

From different directions!

Inez:
jackie's looking from here.

Digit:
and matt's looking from here!

Guys,
we've got it. Look!

Hey! The line between me
and sneaky peak

Crosses matt's line
to eagle rock!

Matt:
then the transformatron's

Gotta be at the point
where those two lines cross!

Inez:
exactly!

"X" marks the spot!

But how are we going
to get there in time?

Leave it to the didge,

I got it covered!

You keep the hacker busy!

Matt, jackie,
I'm in position.

Show me your lines!

One straight line
comin' at you, didge!

And here's mine!

Digit:
way to go, earthlies!

The transformatron's right
where you both said it was!

I'm goin' in!

Let's see,

As the new ruler
of cyberspace,

I think a crown
would be appropriate.

Too gaudy?

No!
You can never be too gaudy.

(Phone rings)

Control central,
the hacker here!

This is inez.

Better get
an unlisted number!

What is it this time?!

We need to discuss
the future of cyberspace.

The future of cyberspace? Ha!

I am the future
of cyberspace!

Okay.
I just fly down there,

Pluck the nic from
the transformatron

And I'm outa there
in a flash!

(Squawk)

Yoikes! Not again!

Yeowwwwww!

Ahhhh!

Whoa!
Easy big, fella!

Ahhhhh!

Buzz and delete:
ahhhhhh!

Hellllllllp!

Ahhhhhh!

Was that absolutely
necessary?

(Giggles)

Buzz:
hey! Let us outta here!

Delete:
yeah, let us out!

Don't worry, your boss
will be right back!

Cyberturkey:
(squawk)

You don't give up,
do you?

Now that's what I call
a cheese-birder!

Once I pull out the nic,

Everything that transformed

Will transform back
to what it was!

Hello, nic.
Good to see you again!

As I was saying,
you impudent earthbrat,

I am the future
of cyberspace!

Furthermore... Hunh?

What's happening?

Something wrong, hacker?

Hacker:
noooooooo!

Motherboard:
good job, cybersquad.

Mission accomplished!

Not quite,
motherboard.

We still have
to get rid

Of the nic.

Matt:
toss it in, didge!

Wuh-oh!
It was here a minute ago!

All:
digit!

Just kidding!

There's only one place
where the nic should be,

And here it goes.

Machine:
your item is forever gone.

All:
(cheering)

Delete:
the boss isn't gonna be happy
about this, buzzy.

I'm not happy either,
deedee.

(Hacker deflates back)
ahhh!

Buzz:
hi, boss. Didn't expect
you back so soon.

Delete:
yeah. We missed you.

Grrrrrrrrrr!
