Wicked:
hellllllo, cyberspace!

Wicked here,

With my speedy
new wickedy brooms!

They're totally chic
and simply the rage!

Each fashionable broom

Comes with a built-in
a*t*matic vacuum!

But what really matters
is how fast they are.

Weeeee...

They're so fast,

They're flying off the shelves!

Better call in your order
right now!

(Phones ringing)

Hello? Wickedy brooms!

Inez:
can you believe it?

Wicked's selling her
own line of broomsticks!

Jackie:
the polka-dot one
is totally cool!

Matt:
wow! Look how many she's sold!

Digit:
earthlies, that's wicked
you're talking about!

She lies, she cheats,

She's gotta be up to something!

Wicked:
want proof that these brooms
are faster than fast?

Check this out...

They have the cybersquad
seal of approval!

Jackie:
what? We didn't give
our approval!

Matt:
she can't do that!

Inez:
if the brooms are bad,
she can say it's our fault!

No one will ever
trust us again!

Motherboard:
cybermates!

Emails are flooding in...

Asking if you think
it's okay to buy the brooms.

Do you?

Jackie:
no, mother b!

Well that is,
we don't know...

Inez:
because wicked said
we tested them,

But we didn't!

Matt:
time out!
I have an idea.

Instead of complaining
let's test 'em for real!

Yeah!

We could tell in a flash
if they're fake.

If they're okay,
no problem.

If they're not...
We'll prove it!

Digit:
I don't love it,
but I see your point.

Hello, wicked?

The cybersquad
is coming over!

Hacker:
I'll be at the borg again spa
for a much needed tuneup.

I'll be sanded, welded,
polished and energized!

Good as new!

Now raise your right hands

And promise to do
the following.

Keep the lights off,

And power down at night
to save money.

Buzz and delete:
check.

Keep food off the control
panel.

Buzz and delete:
check.

And do not,
under any circumstances,

Call me!!

Is that understood?!

Buzz and delete:
check!

Okay.
Is he gone?

Uh,
I think so.

Party...!!!

(Laughter)

Wicked:
ah, children...

Digit, my fine feathered
friend!

Welcome to wickedy brooms,
inc.!

Digit:
stop being so nice, witchy!

We got a bone
to pick with you.

Oh? With mois?

Inez:
yeah! You put our pictures
on your brooms

Without our approval!

Matt:
you said we okayed 'em
and we didn't!

Jackie:
so we came here to test them -

To make sure they are
what you say they are!

Wicked:
excellent...test away!

I'm thrilled that you're here!

There are three kinds to test.

Each broom goes
at a preset speed...

And, of course, each broom
goes with a different outfit!

Hey! It's the ultimate
accessory!

I knew you'd understand,
jacqueline!

Jacqueline?

What's with that one?

Wicked:
oh, my old test model.

Only one ride left in it now.

Loudspeaker:
attention, wicked.
Five minutes to air.

Wicked:
excuse me, darlings.

I have to fly up
to the tv studio.

Test your little hearts out...

(She cackles)

Jackie:
since our names are already
on these,

We better make sure
they're faster than fast -

Like she said.

Digit:
how do we do that?

Matt:
let's start by finding out
which one is the fastest!

You've got to try this!
It's awesome!

How do you steer this thing?

Digit:
does it look like I know?

Matt:
I went faster than you,
jax...

I think.

Inez:
and I went faster than you,
matt.

But which one
is the fastest?

Don't know yet,
didge.

We need a way to
figure it out.

I know!

Let's have a race.

First broom to that tree
is the fastest!

Let's do it!

Cool!

Digit:
on your mark,
get set...

Go!

Jackie:
okay guys,
we need a new plan.

Maybe we can go one
at a time.

No way!

It's not a race
if we go one at a time.

Hmm...it could be.

You mean, like racing against
the clock?

Uh-huh.

Like seeing
who goes farther

In the same amount
of time.

Matt:
okay, but we need some way
to mark the time.

Digit:
like this stopwatch,
perhaps?

Inez:
perfect!

Time us one at a time.

We'll start here...

And fly for,
um...five seconds!

The broom that goes farthest
in five seconds is the fastest!

Jackie:
to the max, guys!

Digit:
go!

Five seconds!

Matt:
okay, let's see how far
I fly in five seconds.

Digit:
go!

Five seconds.
Stop!

Go!

Whoa!
What was that?

Meeeeee...!

Five seconds. Stop!

Digit:
okay, let's see
what we got here...

Jackie:
I'm at the tree.

Matt:
I'm at the bush.

Inez:
I'm at the turtle.

Digit :
no doubt about it!

Nezzie went the farthest
in five seconds...

Which proves her broom's
the fastest!

Inez:
yes!

The polka dot broom
is the fastest one!

I want a rematch!

Hacker:
ahhh...with that wicked witch
finally out of my life,

I can focus on what's really
important:

Marvelous, wonderful ...me!

Owwwwwww!!!

Wicked:
hey, you out there!
Want to go fast?

Do you want to be chic?

I don't know,
do we wanna be sheep?

No. That's chic,
deedee...chic!

Like in...
Stylish and hip!

Wicked:
call in and order your
wickedy brooms right now!

And have your credit cards
ready!

Thanks for calling
wickedy brooms.

It's buzz and delete.

We wanna go fast
and be sheep!

Of course you do.

Send us two brooms
with the works,

And charge it
to the hacker.

Really?

How come mr. Cheapskate's
being so generous?

He's on vacation!

Hmmm...i see.

The brooms are
on their way.

How perfect!

Hacker's gone,

And digit and those earth brats
are here,

Exactly where I want them.

My plan is working even better
than I expected!

(She cackles)

Wicked:
yoo-hoo...!

Break-tiiiiiime...

Inez:
thanks!
They look delicious!

Matt:
wow!

Digit:
how come you're so nice
all of a sudden?

Wicked:
come on, didgie-widgie,

Can't you let bygones
be bygones?

Matt:
wow! These cookies
are great, wicked,

But we don't really
need a break.

We're done testing.

You're done?!

But I uh...

Wouldn't you like to do
a little more testing?

But we already proved

The polka dot broom's
the fastest.

Inez:
yeah.

Green is second,
and pink comes in third.

What's left to test?

Wicked:
well, my customers
not only need to know

Which broom is the fastest,

But how fast each broom goes!

Well, yeah...

That would be a good thing
to know...

I guess.

Now remember,
everyone's counting on you

To find out the truth!

The speed of each broom -

That's what we need to know.

And once you finish,

I'll put you on tv
to tell all cyberspace!

Ciao for now!

Tuddles!

Digit:
I don't care how good
her cookies are,

She's up to something
and I just know it!

Jackie:
but didge, she's gonna put
us on tv!

How cool is that?

Matt:
yeah!

And all we have to do

To find out how fast
the brooms go

Is to check the speedometer!

Inez:
um guys, bad news.

There is no speedometer!

Hacker:
no, no, no!

Bring me something
more regal!

More royal!
More kingly!

Forget about the wig...

Where did you
get that broom?

It looks fantastically
fast.

Larry:
it's a wickedy broom, sir.

You know, the new kind,
made by the wicked witch.

What?!

Wicked's selling brooms?

Oh yes.
They're totally hot!

Everyone has one.
Even I have one!

Wickedy brooms are the best!

And so is wicked.

She's the new queen
of cyberspace!

Hacker:
what?!!

I'm on vacation for one day

And wicked's the new queen
of cyberspace?!

There's only one ruler
of cyberspace

And that's me!

Larry:
hmph... No tip!

Inez:
okay, let's think.

We need to find out
how fast these brooms go.

And how fast you go means...

Digit:
speed!

How fast you go
is your speed!

Matt:
yeah!

My dad says when our car's
speed is miles per hour,

It means we'll go miles
in one hour!

Jackie:
so your speed means
how far you go

In a certain amount
of time.

Inez:
like my broom flies
from the starting line...

To here in five seconds!

Jackie:
but how far is that?

Tape measure anyone?

Inez:
this tortoise is cybermeters

From the starting line!

How fast did I go?

Cybermeters
in five seconds!

Matt:
man, you're broom
is sure faster than mine.

I only flew cybermeters
in five seconds.

Jackie:
I'm even slower than that -

Cybermeters
in five seconds.

Get over it, jax.

At least we found out
the speed of each broom.

The pink goes cybermeters
in five seconds,

The green goes cybermeters
in five seconds,

And the polka dot goes
cybermeters in five seconds!

Jackie:
but we can't go on tv

And tell everyone how fast
a broom flies

In five seconds...

It sounds too weird.

Inez:
you're right.

How fast it flies
in one second is way better.

Matt:
yeah. Sounds more
like my dad says,

" Miles per hour"

I'm getting lost here.

Can't we just use
what we know?

Jackie:
good point didge.

Let's try.

We know inez's broom
is the fastest.

Inez:
and we know I went
cybermeters

In five seconds.

Matt:
so the question is -

How far would she go
in one second?

How do we figure that out?!
Another race?

Wait, I think the answer is
right here in front of us.

This tape is marked off
every five cybermeters

And there are one,
two, three, four,

Five equal parts
between the starting line

And inez's cybermeters.

Since there are
five equal parts

And she flew for five seconds,

Then in one second
she flew one part.

And one part is five
cybermeters.

Inez:
which makes my speed five
cybermeters per second.

If your broom went
cybermeters in five seconds,

Then you went,
four cybermeters per second.

Because
in five equal parts is !

Jackie:
and I went cybermeters
per second,

Because
in five equal parts is !

What a team, sheer genius!

Now we know the speed,
the distance

Each broom travels
in just one second!

Jackie:
cool!

Let's tell wicked we're ready
to go on tv!

How do I look?

Matt:
like a movie star...jacqueline.

Jackie:
very funny.

Matt and inez:
look out!!!

(Screams)

Matt:
jax, you okay?

Jackie:
don't worry, I'm fine.

I'll just sweep up the mess.

Better yet,
I'll use the vacuum!

Inez:
how weird was that??

Jackie:
I turned on the vacuum,

And the whole broom
got energized!

Hey! It won't start!

It's like the vacuum
sucked out all the power!

Digit:
how is that possible?!

Inez:
the same thing happened
to the skwak!

Yoikes!

These brooms are bewitched!

Matt:
and we'd better find out
why...fast!

Delete:
now we can be sheep,
buzzy!

Baaa...

Buzz:
that's chic, deedee...
Not sheep!

Now let's give these broomies
a test flight!

Hey, buzzy...

Let's see what
this does.

Wha-what happened
to the power?

Oh boy,
I don't know, deedee,

But the boss isn't gonna
be happy about this.

C'mon, let's get
these outta here!

Kids:
wicked!

Jackie:
what are you up to?!

Well, taking a little trip,
if you must know.

Thanks to your endorsement,

I've sold enough brooms
to create a mindless army

Under my command!

Inez:
an army? What for?

To suck the power
out of motherboard

And take it for myself!

Jackie:
you can't do that!

Watch me!

Once I give the word,

My army and I will be at
control central in two minutes!

(Cackles)

Our brooms are ten times faster

Than the fastest one
you tested.

You ain't seen nothin' yet!

(Cackles)

Inez:
so that's why wicked's been
selling brooms -

To att*ck motherboard!

Jackie:
(gasps) we've got to stop her!

Digit:
relax, earthlies,

Wicked can't get
into control central!

The doors are power-locked.

They won't be
if the power goes out!

(Gasp) uh! We gotta warn
motherboard!

Inez:
we can't!

The skwak's been zapped -

It won't work!

Matt:
and we can't go there
in the cyberpod!

Oh no!
Wicked tricked us!

Oh no!

And there's no way
out of here!

(Gasps)

The wreaker is wrecked!

Buzz! Delete!

Where are you
two duncebuckets?!

Nothing's working!

The power's out...

There's food
all over the place...

When I find those tin-wits,

I'll...what's this?

Wickedy brooms!

That witch must have
stolen my robots!

I got to stop her...

But how?

The wreaker is grounded!

Ahhhhh!

Aha! A gift I was saving
for wicked.

Now, the perfect gift for me!

Jackie:
the only way to save
motherboard

Is to get to control central
before wicked...

But the cyberpod is down
so-

The brooms!

We fly there
on the fastest brooms.

These!

Matt:
but you heard
what wicked said.

Her army's brooms are ten
times faster than those.

We'd never catch 'em.

Sheesh!

How fast is
ten times faster?

Inez:
well, if that broom goes
five cybermeters per second,

Then wicked's ten times
faster brooms

Have a speed of cybermeters
per second!

Jackie:
if only we could
make this go faster.

Can't.

The speed of the factory
brooms is preset.

They won't go any faster.

Digit:
never fear,
the didge is here!

Wicked said this old test model
has one ride left in it!

Matt:
let's see...

It says here,
it can go...

Cybermeters per second!

Inez:
that's how fast
wicked's going!

Jackie:
but if we go the same
speed wicked's going -

We won't reach motherboard
before wicked does!

Then we need to go faster!

Wait a second!

There's another setting here!

Cybermeters per second!

Jackie:
cool!

Inez:
okay. According to this map,

It's cybermeters
from here to control central.

If we go cybermeters
per second,

It should take us...

Jackie:
um... Seconds!

A minute!

Digit:
wicked said she only needs
two minutes to get there.

Inez:
that gives us time to spare,

But not much!

Setting broom for
cybermeters per second!

Jackie:
mother b...here we come!

Army:
wicked is our leader.

We do what she says.

Wicked:
ooooh, I just love having
my very own army!

Mirror mirror in my hand,

Is there anyone more
tyrannical in the land?

Of course not!

Who could stop a witch

That's both brilliant
and gorgeous, I might add?

Oooh, there it is!

My new palace!

Hacker:
miss me?

Wicked:
hacker!

I thought you
were on vacation!

Hacker:
what have you done
with buzz and delete?

Well, they work for me,
now!

And once I drain the power
from motherboard -

So will you!

Hacker:
never!

Wicked:
don't bet on it,
hackie-poo!

Hacker:
whoooaaa...!

I'm back!

Not for long!

Hacker:
gotcha!

Wicked:
let go!

Wicked and hacker:
what?!

Wicked:
I have to stop them!

Hacker:
and I have to stop you!

Hurry!

We got to pull motherboard
override switch!

Hacker:
it's too late! (Chuckles)

Too late for you,
you mean!

Boyfriends come,
and boyfriends go,

Turn my ex into a crow!

Hacker (as crow):
caw-caw!

Digit:
faster...!

Army:
wicked is our leader!

We do what she says.

Finally now,
it's the wicked hour.

Start your brooms,
and whisk me into power!

Digit:
pull!

Noooooo...!

Buzz and delete:
we want our money back!

Hacker (as crow):
caw caw!

Motherboard:
good work, cybersquad.

That was a close call.

Too close,
if you ask me!

You were so far away.

How did you know
how fast to fly?

Jackie:
easy. We just used our speed -

How far we could go in
a certain amount of time.

Inez:
and we knew
how far we had to go...

Matt:
and how much time
we had to get here!

Motherboard:
well...according
to my calculations

Your speed was very, very fast.

Matt:
fast? Nah.

It was awesome!
