Narrator:
ok, there's this really bad dude

Named hacker.

Hacker: "the" hacker to you.

Narrator: whatever.
He wants to take over

The cyberworld
from motherboard.

[Kids gasp]

The kids are sucked
into cyberspace,

And they use brainpower
to help save everybody.

Jackie:
ok, here's the plan.

Narrator:
so they travel all over

And run into all these
weird creatures

And have all these
awesome adventures.

It's totally up to
them to save cyberspace.

Can cool kids and a wacky bird
outsmart the hacker?

Hacker: never.

Matt: there's only one way
to find out.

Narrator:
tune in to "cyberchase"!

Zeus: i, zeus, have called
you here because the spirit

Of the mt. Olympus games
is gone.

[Gods and goddess gasp,
chatter indistinctly]

And it's all your fault!

[Gods and goddess scream]

"Why?," You ask.

Because you each enter
the same event year after year

And you each win the same
event year after year.

Goddess:
but--but that's because we're

Each the best at what we do.

Isn't that good?

Zeus: it's boring!

This year is
going to be different.

Instead of individual
events, we're going to have

Just one event--a team relay

With two teams competing
against each other.

From now on,
the games will be a tribute

To the power
of working together,

A time to put the team first
and the individual second.

God with trident:
are you kidding?

No way I'll play on a team.

Goddess: me neither.
I only do what I do best!

God with winged helmet:
same here!

Zeus: silence!

Apparently what I need
are two different teams--

Two rivals willing to do
whatever it takes to win.

Now, who could that be?

Digit: this new cleaner
works like magic, motherboard.

Watch.

You just spritz and wipe.

And before you know it,

You become a greek god?

Zeus: greetings!

Digit: yikes!

It's--it really is zeus!

Motherboard: welcome, zeus.

What brings you
to control central?

Zeus: I'm here to invite
your team to compete

In the new and improved
mount olympus games.

Motherboard: new and improved?

Zeus:
the winners must win as a team,

Not as selfish individuals
who want only personal glory

But as heroes who act
for the greater good.

Only then will they
be worthy of victory.

Digit: what do you think,
team? Are we worthy?

Inez: absolutely!
Jackie: let's do it!

Matt: yeah. This is awesome!

I mean, a personal
invitation from zeus,

And we get to go
back to mount olympus.

Jackie: what's our
team have to do, mother b?

Motherboard: the triadditon.

One long race--three different
events one after the other.

Matt: ohh. A relay race!

Cool!

Digit: and the first team
to tag zeus on the top

Of mt. Olympus is the winner.

Inez: we better start
getting ready.

Motherboard:
and so you will, inez.

I've arranged a training site
for all of you on radopolis.

Inez: wow!
Matt: check it out!

Jackie: cool!

Digit: ok, earthlies,
here's how the race goes.

The first of the three
events is the obstacle course.

Check this out.

Digit: whew!

The second is
the swimming part...

[Panting]

And the last leg
is a footrace up

To the very top of mt. Olympus.

[Panting]

Good thing I'm just coaching.

Matt: dibs on the run.
I'm the fastest.

Inez:
I'll do the obstacle course!

You should see me zip
through the one in the park.

Jackie: hey, I'm good at
the obstacle course, too.

Inez: I already called it.

Jackie: no fair!

Digit:
quit your quibbling, earthlies.

To make sure everyone
gets a fair chance,

We're gonna have
tryouts for each event.

Matt: good idea, didge!

Whoever's best at each
event will do that event.

Jackie: right!

Then all we have to worry
about is b*ating the other team.

Inez: by the way,
who is the other team?

Wicked: it's a push-up--
not a stay-down!

You're the wimpiest bots
I've ever seen!

Delete: but--but we're tired.

Buzz: and hungry.

We need a donut break.

Wicked: no breaks.

You're in training!

Hacker: and the winner of
the mt. Olympus relay is--

Wicked: not you, hackie-poo!

No coach in cyberspace can whip
this sorry bunch into shape,

Not even me, who you hired
to ensure your victory

Unless, of course, I use magic.

Abracadabra,
disco and hustle,

Turn these bozos
into bots with muscle.

Buzz: wow!
Delete: oh! Ha ha!

Jackie: no way.

The other team can't be hacker.

Digit: it is.

And wicked is their coach.

Inez: but that means
they're gonna cheat.

What are we gonna do?

Matt: win. That's what!

We can't let
zeus crown hacker a hero.

Everyone in cyberspace
will look up to him.

Slider: welcome back
to radopolis.

Girls: slider!

Matt, sarcastically: oh, great.

Slider: hear you guys have
to b*at hacker's team

In the mt. Olympus games.

Digit: yep, and we're
ready to start the tryouts

To see who does what.

Line up, earthlies.

Matt: give it up, guys.

You know I'm going
to win all three events.

Inez: oh, yeah?

"One's feet should run
faster than one's mouth."

Matt: another one of
your famous quotes, huh?

Who said that one?

Inez: I did. Ha ha!

Jackie: good one, inez!

Digit: ok, earthlies,
on your mark. Get set--

Slider: didge!
[Stops blowing whistle]

Aren't you gonna keep
track of how they do?

Digit: why?
Whoever comes in first wins.

Slider: when we do skateboard
trials, we write down everyone's

Times to see who's best at
each event,

Then use those times
to pick the best lineup.

Digit:
oh, yeah, I was gonna do that.

Wouldn't you know it?
Fresh out of stopwatches.

Slider: I got it covered.

A stopwatch for each racer.

Put the names across the top...

And the three
events down the side.

Obstacle course, swim, run.

You time each race. Write each
racer's time in the table.

So if matt does the obstacle
course in five cyberseconds,

You put a five in the box
by his name and that event.

Digit: nothing like a table
for showin' lots of info.

How do I do it again?

Slider:
how about I keep track for you?

Digit: perfect!

Slider: don't hold back, matt.

If you set a world record,
we'll know the exact time

To give the press.

Matt:
just get your stopwatches ready.

Slider: see ya at
the finish line, speedy.

Digit: all right, earthlies!

On your mark. Get set...

[Blows whistle]

Slider: twenty-eight
cyberseconds, nezzie!

Awesome!

Thirty-three, jax!

Forty-one, matt.

Guess the press conference
will have to wait.

Matt: big deal.

I didn't want to run
the obstacle course anyway.

Inez: wow!

I had the best time!

I can't believe it!

Digit:
hit the water, earthlies!

After that, you'll do the run.

Slider: you gonna be ok, jax?
I know you don't like to swim.

Jackie: I took some lessons.

I'll be fine.

Slider: cool.

[Blows whistle]

Jackie: yes!

Oh! Oof! Ow!

Slider:
forty-two cyberseconds, matt.

You won it.

Matt: told you I
was the fastest!

Inez: whew!

Second place.

Where's jackie?

Matt: jax, what happened?

Jackie: i--i hurt my ankle.

Inez: poor jax!

This is not good.

This is not good at all!

Jackie: I twisted my ankle.

It's not broken or anything,

Ooh, but it hurts.

Slider: can you stand?

Jackie:
I don't think so, but I'll try.

Matt: I'll help you.

Jackie: ow!

There's no way I
can run or swim!

Inez: don't worry, jax.

We'll figure something out.
You just rest.

Matt: what are we gonna do?

We need three on our
team, and digit can't compete

Because he's our coach.

Jackie: how about slider?

He can take my place!

Digit: great idea!
Inez: yes!

Matt: no!
Digit: no?

Why not, matt?

Matt: well, because--
I don't know.

It should just be us,
that's why.

Inez: but "us" is only two now.

And we need three for the relay.

Jackie: come on, matt.

Slider's as much a part of
team motherboard as anyone.

Inez: that's right!
Digit: yeah!

There! It's official!

You're on the team.

Ok, matty?

Matt: fine!

But I run. Slider swims.

Slider: sure.
Whatever's best for the team.

Buzz: how we doing, coach?

Delete: yeah, how we doin'?

We could run
all day, huh, buzzy?

Wicked: well, that's
the problem. This is too easy!

You need to practice
on the real thing or close.

Abracadabra, for glory
and fame, transform this dump

Into a place to train.

Oh! One of my better makeovers,
if I do say so myself.

And now for an extreme makeover.

Hacker:
hey, coach, how's tricks?

Wicked: I've saved
my best trick for you.

Hacker: no!

Wicked: you think you can win
this race without my magic?

Hacker: for your information,
I'm perfectly capable

Of extraordinary athletic
feats without your magic.

Oops!

Wicked:
so drop and give and me !

Hacker: wicky, baby--

Wicked: now!

Digit: ok, sli, you ready?

Matt: I don't see why we
need to time slider.

We already know
who's doing what.

Let's just go practice.

Inez:
that's not the point, matt.

What if slider's faster than
I am at the obstacle course?

Don't you think we should
switch in order to win?

Matt: yeah. I guess so.

Jackie: come on, matt.

We need to know his times so
I can plug them into the table.

Digit: makes sense to me!

Ready?

[Blows whistle]

[Whistle blows]

Slider: how'd I do?

Jackie:
I'll have the times in a sec.

Matt:
just remember, the run is mine.

Jackie:
ok, here's what we've got.

Inez still owns
the obstacle course

With cyberseconds,
way faster than you guys.

Matt: what about the run?

Jackie: inez, , slider, ,

And matt, !

Matt: I told you
I'm the fastest runner.

Just watch me high-five
zeus at the finish line.

Jackie: except you were
also the fastest swimmer.

See?

Matt: so?

I'm good at a lot of things.

Jackie: yeah, but maybe
putting you in the swim event

Instead of the run will
give us a better chance to win.

Matt: but I had
the best time in the run,

And that's the event I want.

Slider: you know,
maybe it's a good idea

To try different lineups.

Matt: maybe we should
just go practice.

Wicked: it's a relay race,
mister muscle.

How am I supposed
to put together a lineup

If I don't know who's
the fastest in each event?

Hacker: it doesn't matter.

The run is last, right?

I want the glory of that
winning moment, so I'm doing it.

Wicked:
there won't be a winning moment

If your team doesn't win.

Now, get behind this line
and let me test you.

Don't you dare move till I say.

On your marks. Get set.

I saw that, hacker. Back up!

Go!

[Whistle blows]

Jackie: ok, let's just forget
what each of us wants to do

And look at the times.

According to the table,

Matt won the swim
by three whole cyberseconds,

But he only b*at slider
by one cybersecond in the run.

Matt: so?

Jackie:
so you're a fast runner,

But you're
a really fast swimmer,

Which means the best chance for
our team to win is if you swim.

Matt: no way.

And it won't matter if I
swim fast if he runs slow.

Slider: what's your deal, man?

You only b*at me
by one second in the run.

Matt: still won.

Digit: time-out.

This isn't about you or you.

It's about all of us
together as a team.

Inez: you got that right, didge,
in more ways than one.

Digit: of course I did!

I did?

Inez: yes, because
in the end, all that matters

Is the team's total time.

Digit: I get it!

Different lineups
give us different totals.

Jackie: exactly. So we need
to find the lineup

That gives us
the fastest total time.

Inez: jackie, read out the times

If I do the obstacle course,

Slider swims,

And matt runs.

Jackie: twenty-eight, , .

Inez: and the total
of these times is

Cyberseconds!

Digit: what's our total time
if matt swims and slider runs?

Jackie: add up , ,

And .

A hundred and six cyberseconds!

Digit:
um, isn't faster than ?

Inez:
so our best chance of winning

Is if matt swims.

Matt: no way.

I run or I don't do anything.

Hacker: I see, I see!

You added up the times
for different team lineups.

So what? Who cares?

Wicked: you will if you lose.

Look at you!

Your upper body muscles
are perfect for swimming,

Which is why you had
the fastest swim time.

Hacker: i, uh, I do
have extremely strong arms.

Wicked: but look at these skinny
little things you call legs,

Huh?

Hacker: now, wait a minute!
Wicked: they're worthless.

Delete outran you
by cyberseconds!

If you don't believe me,
believe the numbers.

They don't lie.

Total time if you swim:
cyberseconds.

Total time if you run:
cyberseconds.

So I ask you, brilliant
cyborg that you are,

Should you swim or run?

Hacker: let me think,

Swim or run?

Listen to you
or do what I want?

Heh heh! What shall I do?

Matt: you're my hero, zeus.

I've read
every greek myth about you.

To win these games
would be a dream come true.

I mean, I can see it now.

There I am, fast as lightning,
streaking past hacker, racing

All the way
to the top of mt. Olympus.

I just want
to do what I want to do.

Why is that so wrong?

Zeus:
the winners must win as a team,

Not as selfish individuals
who want only personal glory

But as heroes who act
for the greater good.

Only then will they
be worthy of victory.

Slider: is this private?
Matt: no.

Slider: listen, I just
want to say that I'm--

Matt: you don't have
to say anything, sli.

We're all in this together.

Slider: that's cool.

Matt: you run. I'll swim.

Zeus: welcome
to the mt. Olympus games.

[Cheering]

We gather in
the spirit of team competition

To watch longtime rivals
put themselves to the test.

Today's race is the triadditon--

One continuous race
with three different events

Done in order
one after the other.

The first team to tag me here
at the top of mt. Olympus wins.

Welcome our two teams--

Team motherboard...

And team hacker!

[Scattered boos]

Digit: yikes!

Wicked must've used
magic on buzz and delete.

Jackie: she turned them
into muscle bots.

Inez: how are we gonna win now?

Matt: as a team, right, slider?

Zeus: let the race begin!

Jackie: yay! All right! Yeah!

Matt: come on, inez!

Inez: go!

Digit: go, matty!
Jackie: go for it!

Inez: yeah!

Hacker: it's just
you and me, slider.

Slider:
you got it wrong, hacker.

I'm part of a team.

Hacker: team or no team,
you'll never b*at the hacker.

Slider: way to go, matt.

You caught up big-time!

Matt: it's up to you, slider!

Hacker: what?!

You can't pass me.

Slider: watch me!
Hacker: wicked...

Do something!

Wicked:
abracadabra, I told you so,

Take the power from
your bots to make your legs go!

[Hacker laughing diabolically]

Jackie: hey!

No fair!

Digit: I can't bear to look!

Hacker: uh-oh! Aah!

[Audience members laughing]

Zeus: team motherboard wins!

[Cheering]

Inez: whoo-hoo!
I knew we could do it!

Jackie: yes! All right!

Matt: oh, yeah!

Hacker: this is all your fault!

You promised I'd win!

Wicked: you would have
if you'd listened to me.

But, no,

You wanted your moment of glory.

Well, here it is--in the pool,
where you should have been

In the first place!

Hacker: come back.

Get me out of here!

[Cheering]

Motherboard:
congratulations, cybersquad.

Zeus: you must be
very proud, motherboard.

As for you, because
you all put the team first

And individual achievement
second,

I proclaim you
the worthy victors

Of the mount olympus games!

[Cheering]
