Post by bunniefuu »

Okay, there's this really
bad dude named hacker --

Hacker: the hacker, to you!

Whatever.
He wants to take over

The cyberworld
from motherboard.

[ Gasp ]
the three kids
are sucked into cyberspace,

And they use brain power
to help save everybody.

Jackie:
okay, here's the plan.

So they travel
all over and run into all these

Weird creatures...and have all
of these awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them
to save cyberspace.

Can three cool kids and a wacky
bird outsmart the hacker?

Hacker: never!
Matt: there's only one way
to find out!

Tune in
to "cyberchase"!

Hacker: (melancholy)
I don't know
what's wrong with me.

But alas...

Buzz:
want a donut, boss?

(Splat)

Ugh!
Look what you've done!

Ooh!
I'll get it!

Never mind!

Why don't you two
just go...

Fly a kite?!

Delete:
okay, boss, good idea!

Buzz:
you got it!

(Angry snarling)

Ah...my vacation in polynomial
with wicked.

We did make a rather
attractive couple.

What's wrong with me?

Mirror: (hacker's voice)
I can tell you what's wrong.

Who was that??!

Mirror:
here! In the closet!

The mirror!

Who?
What...are you?

I'm your cybermirror,

Version . .

I was a gift from wicked.

Wicked:
motherboard,

I repeat my offer.

If you want help

Keeping cyberspace
out of hacker's clutches,

Allow me
to be your partner.

All I want in return
for my help

Is an itsy bitsy
part of cyberspace.

Say / ?

Inez:
/ ?

That's more than half!

All I want
is my fair share

For keeping that
treacherous hacker

Out of your hard drive.

Sharing any fraction
of cyberspace with you

Is out of the question,
wicked.

But-

Meeting over!

Well, now that we've got
that settled, mother b,

I think it's time
for us to go home.

Of course.

Thank you for coming.

Jackie:
bye!

Inez:
so long.

Bye, earthlies!

See you, didge.
Bye, motherboard!

(Zap)

Oopsy!
Sorry.

It was an accident.

Motherboard,
you okay?

Yes, but... (Static)

Vortex scrambled!

Cybersquad is...(Static)

What, motherboard?!
What?!

Matt:
whoa! What's going on?

Inez:
whatever it is,
it's not good!

Look out!

Jackie:
didge, can you hear me?

We're stuck in the vortex!

I hear you, earthlies!

There's been
a slight glitch here.

Have you out in a jiffy.

Uh, won't we?

All vortex portals closed.
(Static)

If kids not released...
(Static)

Dematerialize.
(Static)

Dematerialize?!

Wicked:
anything I can do?

Haven't you done
enough already?!

Well, I said
it was an accident.

Digit, find... (Static)

Uvo.

Uvo? What's a uvo?

The universal vortex opener.
(Static)

Opens primary portal in case
of emergency shut-down.

Gotcha.
Where is it?

Motherboard:
ask sphinx of pyramidia.

Digit:
/ ?

What's / mean?

Fraction.
It means... (Powering off)

Digit:
motherboard,
don't conk out on me now!

Oh, boy.

How am I going to get
to pyramidia?

(Panicking)
the cyberpod's in the shop,

It's too far for me to fly,

And there are no portals
I can use!

I see a problemo here!!

I see an opportunity.

It's me again.

We could fly
to pyramidia by broom.

We?!

Well, it's my broom.

Besides, it seems you need
all the help you can get.

I gotta admit,
you have a point.

Hop on, handsome.

(Shocked and unsure)
uh...

Drive carefully, okay?

Ahhhhhh!

I know you better than anyone
in cyberspace.

Oh, really?

Then what's wrong
with me?

You miss wicked,
that's what wrong.

I do not!

Come on,
admit it,

You're crazy about her.

Crazy about her?!

I can't stand her!

All she wants to do
is take!

Take! Take!

Inez:
yikes! I can see
right through you!

I can see through you, too,
nezzie!

Don't call me nezzie!

Hm, on the other hand,

Some nezzie is better
than no nezzie.

Oh, this is not good at all.

Jackie:
not good?!
It's calamitous!

Catastrophic!

Impressive use
of vocabulary, jax.

How can you talk about
vocabulary

At a time like this?!

Digit!!!

Where are you?!

At the moment,

I'm flying through cyberspace
on the back of a broom.

We're starting
to dematerialize!

Don't worry,
I'm on it!

Wicked and I
are on the way to pyramidia

To find the universal
vortex opener.

Ahhhhhh!

(Screeches to a halt)

Ahhhhhh!

(Coughing)

Sorry!

Hmm! Okay.

Motherboard said
to ask the sphinx

Where the uvo is.

Wicked:
yoohoo, sphinxy!

Where's the uvo?

Digit:
you didn't think
it was gonna be that simple,

Did you?

Well, excuse me,

But I'm new at this,
all right?

Getting the sphinx to talk

Has something to do
with the fraction / .

That's why motherboard
gave me this.

Hello. What's that
box over there?

Uh! A full box of chocolate
sand cones.

I simply adore these.

Control yourself,
wicky!

We didn't come here
to eat chocolate sand cones.

Ah...

On the other hand...

Maybe there's a connection
between the sand cones

And the sphinx.

Mmm,
they're scrumptious!

Maybe sphinxy
likes them, too.

Wicked,
you're a genius!

I am?

Yep.
I just remembered,

The sphinx only talks

When you give it
what it wants.

How many cones
in there?

It's full up.

One, two, three,
four, five, six!

And six is the bottom number
of our fraction!

Well, then give the sphinx
all six cones

I don't think so.

We're looking
for a fraction,

And fractions are parts
of a whole.

This bottom number, six,

Stands for how many parts
in the whole box!

I hate to admit it,
but you're making sense.

We need to give it
a fraction of the box,

Not all of it.

And the fraction of the box
we give it

Is / !

So if six sand cones
make up the whole box,

Then / of that
is one cone!

Come on! We're about
to find the uvo!

Want a sand cone?

Delicious!

You have correctly used
the fractions bottom number,

The denominator,

To figure out what I wanted.

/ Of all the cones.

Now you must travel
on to r-fair city

To continue your search
for the uvo.

Excuse me, big boy,

I don't mean to be pushy,

But can you give us a little
more help than that?

Grubby.

Look for grubby.

Who's grubby?

I know!
Anything else?

Yes. / .

Yoikes!
Another fraction!

/ Of what?

Sorry,
you're on your own.

Thanks for
the sand cone.

Next stop,
r-fair city!

Digit:
yoikes!

Hackers:
argh! Zip it!

Mirror:
if you break me,

You'll never know how much
wicked cares about you!

She does?

Of course she does.

Look at us...
I mean, you.

Look at that chin!

Who wouldn't fall
madly in love

With a chin like that?

It is a monumental
masterpiece,

Isn't it?

Face it,
wicked is mad about you!

Hacker:
understandable.

Just look at me -

Strong, handsome, confident.

Such a happy couple
we were.

Do you really think
missing wicked

Is what's making me feel
so miserable?

Of course it is.

Go after her!

Tell her how you feel.

Tell her you want to rule
cyberspace with her

At your side!

(Gasps)
I do!

Buzz! Delete!

Where are you?!

Buzz and delete:
whoooooa! Whoaaaaa!

Hacker:
get down here,
you floating flopcicles!

We're going
to find wicked!

Buzz:
we hear you!

Delete:
we're comin' down...

I hope!

Yeowwww!

Wicked and digit:
ahhhhhhhh!

I must admit,
I rather enjoyed that.

Come on,
let's find grubby.

Matt:
what's taking didge so long?

Jackie:
I don't know.

Didge,
are you there?

I'm here, jax!

We're getting more
and more...

Inez:
transparent.

I know, I know!

You need to find that uvo
and fast!

I'm doin' my best!

I'm at r-fair city
with wicked.

Great. We're fading
into nothing

And digit's taking a tour
of cyberspace

With a witch!

I'm not taking a tour!

I'm looking for another clue
to the uvo!

Okay, but do you
really trust wicked?

No, but the portals
are down

And I need her broom.

What?!

Oh no! My skwak!

Jax! Come in!

She's gone!

But not forgotten,
I assure you.

Grubby:
grubby's wacky worms!

It's grubby!
Come on!

Grubby:
what's your share?

Grub, it's me, digit!

Motherboard sent me
for the uvo!

Prove it!

Prove it? How?

These are yours.

So what's your share
of the worms.

Let's see...

There are one, two, three,
four, five slots,

But only three worms.

Hmmm...

We don't have a full box
of worms.

There's only a fraction
of 'em left.

So what's our share?

Digit:
okay.

Five worms in a full box,

But only three
in the box now.

A-ha!

Here's our fraction: / .

Just like the sphinx said!

Excuse me, tin man,
but I don't get it.

What's our share?

Digit:
well, when we had
the fraction /

The bottom number, six,

Was the number of parts
that made up the whole.

All six cones.

So this time,
there's a five on the bottom.

So the five is the number
of parts

That make up the whole,

And the number on top, three,
is our share of 'em!

Digit,
my little propeller pal,

I think I've
underestimated you.

Gee thanks, wicky!

Our share of the worms
is / !

Congratulations!

You've found your share
of the whole

In the top number -

The numerator!

So hand over the uvo!

Grubby:
it isn't here.

What?!
Where is it?

Motherboard
never told me.

She just gave me
the last clue.

Another clue.

Why am I not surprised?

Okay, grub,
what is it?

Go to penguia.

Penguia?!

Find emperor lake.

Emperor lake.

Go to the top
of gentoo glacier.

Okay! The top
of gentoo glacier.

Locate the amulet
of amagansett.

The amulet of amagansett.

Anything else?

Four over seven.
( / )

Is that another fraction?

It is.

And that's all I know.

Oh! But penguia
is the coldest site

In cyberspace.

I hate the cold!

Stop complaining!

You volunteered to help,
remember?

I'm sure motherboard
will be very grateful.

You're right!

One second,
okay?

Forget the cold, girl!

Once you get your hands
on those earthkids,

You'll be warm all over!

Okay.

All aboard for penguia!

Digit:
and step on it!

Wha-oh!

Whaaaa!

Ah, wicked,

How nice of you
to drop in.

I bought these
especially for you.

Oh, brother!

(Sniffs)
you actually paid
for these?

I'm flattered.

Digit:
listen, I don't mean
to intrude,

But we don't have a lot of time
for chit-chat.

So tell us what you want
and let us go!

All right.
I'll get it over with.

I... Missed you.

You missed me?

Not you!

Her!

(Gasp and squeals)

Be still my heart!

Say you'll be mine,
wicked.

Half of everything I have
will be yours.

Mmm...

You mean, we can rule
cyberspace together?

Well, mmm... Sort of.

Sorry, hacky-poo,

Sort of doesn't cut it!

When I get to the top,

I'm not going to share
my power with anyone,

Especially you!

Ouch!
That was harsh.

Are you
turning me down?

Flatter than
a pancake!

Got any other
bright ideas?!

Um...offer her /
of cyberspace?

Would you consider...
Uh...um...

No!

Grumpy, wasn't he?

Forget hacker!
Head for penguia!

Digit:
it's emperor lake.

That must be
gentoo glacier!

What's that?

I don't know.

Grubby didn't say
anything about a pole.

Come on,
let's check it out.

Inez:
I almost got it!

Matt:
it's comin' back your way!

Jackie:
grab it!

(Thud)

Hey, watch it!

Sorry.

Got it!

Didge, come in!

Oh no! The skwak
stopped working.

It's dematerializing
too.

We just have to hope
that digit finds that uvo

In time to get us
out of here.

In the meantime,

It's important
to remain calm.

Oh no!

Right.

Hurry, didge!
Hurry!

We're fading fast!

Hurry!

I thought the skwak
wasn't working.

It's not, but I feel
a lot better now.

Digit:
it's the amulet of amagansett!

I'd recognize it anywhere.

Nice, huh?

Nice, but there are
some jewels missing.

See?

The amulet is lopsided.

More jewels on this side
than this side.

Believe me,
I know jewelry,

And unfortunately,
without the missing parts,

This amulet's only worth
a fraction of its real value.

Missing parts?
Fraction?

Wicked,
you're a genius!

Again?

I'll let you know
in a minute.

Here's the fraction we got
from grubby - / .

We know the bottom number,

The denominator tells us
this whole has seven parts.

But this amulet
only has four.

Digit:
now it does.

But suppose it once
had seven.

And the problem is,
some are missing.

What we have to do
is make it whole again!

Right?

Right!

And this fraction
tells the story!

The whole amulet
was made up of seven stones

And we've got four of them.

Which means...

There are three
missing!

I am a genius!

I must add that
to my resume.

Digit:
find those three
missing stones

To make the amulet
whole again

And we'll find
the universal vortex opener -

The "uvo" for short!

But how are we going to find
three little stones?

Look at this place.

They could be
anywhere!

Never fear,
the didge is here!

(Whistles)

(Quacking)

(Quacking)

(Quacking)

(Agreeing peeps)

(Giggles)

What did he say?

(Quacking)

(Pecking taps)

Digit:
thanks, guys.

(Quacking)

Wicked:
/ , / ...

/ !

We have a whole amulet!

And a lovely, glowing one,
I might add.

Digit:
hang onto your hat, wicky.

We're about to find the uvo!

Kids:
whooaaaaaaa!

Ahhh!
(Land with a thud)

The amulet of amagansett
is the uvo!

Who knew?!

Didge,
you did it!

Thanks, buddy!

Yours truly did make
a contribution to your freedom.

Matt:
you mean we have
to thank wicked?

Actually, you might want
to rethink your appreciation.

Kids:
hey!

That's why you helped me.

I knew you couldn't
be trusted!

Hey, they don't call me
wicked for nothing!

Now, if motherboard wants
her little earthbuds back,

She'll have to give me
a share of cyberspace.

Oh no, wait.

Let's make that
all of cyberspace!

(Cackles)

Digit:
forget about it!

Without your broomstick,

You have no way
to get off penguia,

With or without
the earthlies!

Ooh!
Give me that, you-

Inez:
go, digit!

Matt:
don't let her get it!

All right, all right!

Argh! You can have your
silly earthlies back!

I give up for all to see,

Melt the ice
and set them free!

Ew! I'm soaked!

Now,
give me back my broom!

Or I'll zap it
from you, digit!

Ohhh!

Hey!

Not so fast!

I'll send it to you

After we get back
to motherboard.

Come on, earthlies,
hop on!

You're not going to leave me
all alone

On this giant ice cube?!

Don't worry,
you're not alone!

Got to go!

(Frustrated groan)

That's the last time
I try to help anyone!

Oh goody,
down here!

Yoo-hoo!

Hacker:
ah, wicked!

We meet again.

Wicked:
hacky-poo!
It's you!

Thanks so much
for coming to my rescue.

Now, if you'd just drop me off
at happily-ever-after-

I don't think so!

It's a bit out
of my way right now.

Ta-ta.

Wicked:
wait! What about us?

What about our
future together?

Come back!

I'll share! I'll share!

(Wailing)
