Prologue

It was an ordinary day in Control Central. Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit had just come back from spending the day in Aquari-Yum visiting Crab Prince and his siblings.

"Hey Mother-b," said Jackie after stepping out of the portal. How have you been?

"Fine," said Motherboard. "Dr. Marbles has been fixing my system all day. My kappatron needs to be replaced."

"I'll put an order for a new one tonight," said Dr. Marbles, stepping out of Motherboard's system.

"How are Crab Prince, Junior, Crabby Claws and Maddie?" asked Motherboard.

"Great," said Inez. "Crab Prince and Junior are doing great. Both are learning a lot about taking care of Aquari-Yum and Crabby Claws and Maddie are so cute!"

The Cybersqaud had not been on a quest in a while. Everything was going well in Cyberspace. Hacker had not tried any schemes in several weeks and Dr. Marbles was close to finding an alternate cure for Motherboard's virus. So they had mostly gone around visiting their friends or going on vacations.

"What do you want to do tomorrow earthlies?" said Digit.

"I dunno," said Matt. "There isn't really much else to do now that Hacker's not attacking Cybersites. Do you think you really need us here anymore."
"Of course Matty," said Digit. "You three are the best friends I've ever had."

Matt smiled.

"Besides," said Jackie. "Just in case Hacker comes out of hiding, we need to be there."

Suddenly an alarm started going off.

"HACKER ALERT! HACKER ALERT!" yelled Motherboard. "He has launched a virus."

"Oh no!" said Dr. Marbles, looking out the window. "I know what this is. This virus can suck Motherboard right out of Control Central! And it's firewall proof!

"Quick Doc!" yelled Digit. "Get a portal back to Earth and get Motherboard onto a chip before the virus hits her!"

"Yes," said Dr. Marbles. "And Digit, grab the emergency backup plans!"

Suddenly Control Central began to shake.

"HURRY" yelled Motherboard.

A portal then appeared in front of Matt, Jackie and Inez.

"GO!" yelled Digit.

"Wait, will we never see you again?" Inez asked.

"I'm afraid not but let's hope we do, said Digit tearing up a bit. He pushed them in.

"Bye Earthlies," Digit called.

"DIGIT!" they yelled as the portal sucked them back to Earth.

Digit raced out of the control room to a secret back room with a vault.

"Good thing Hacker didn't find this when he controlled Cyberspace," Digit thought, remembering that time when they had accidentally inserted the encryptor chip to put Hacker in place of Motherboard and caused him to gain control of Control Central.

Digit opened the vault using the code Motherboard gave him and extracted the plans, which were inside a manilla envelope. He raced back to the Control Room.

"Doc, how's it going!" said Digit.

"She's loading on this chip," said Dr. Marbles. "We just need to hope.

Suddenly the chip started beeping.

"The chip is full!" said Dr. Marbles pulling it out. "We only got 50% of her on it.

"Get another chip!" said Digit. "Hurry!"

Suddenly there was an zapping noise and Control Central began to shake even harder. Chips, disks and parts flew everywhere.

"It's too late!" said Dr. Marbles. " The virus infiltrated her system… AAAGUH"

Suddenly Dr. Marbles was knocked back by a computer. Motherboard's chip flew into the air.

"DOC!" yelled Digit. He flew up and grabbed the chip and then flew over towards Dr. Marbles. But then…

KABOOM!

Control Central exploded. Digit was knocked straight out the building.

"AAAAAAAAAH!" he screamed and fell further down.

He finally landed on a empty cybersite. He looked above him and saw the Grim Wreaker where Control Central used to be. He tried to call Dr. Marbles, but he got no answer. He felt hopeless.

But then Digit realized he'd managed to hold on to Motherboard's chip. He put it in his hatch and pulled out the emergency plans. He read them through and knew what he needed to do.

Once Digit regained his flight he took off back into Cyberspace.
