Chapter 4: Irrecognizable coding

Ferb POV

"Where the heck are they?"

I rolled over to find Jeremy sitting on the other bed. Gretchen was standing in the doorway. "Do you think I know? I mean, seriously." I began to get up. "Could you guys wait a moment? In the hallway?" They complied. I got dressed and met them out there.

Gretchen began to speak. "Do you have any clue?"

I gestured to the computer. "Coding from a video game..." The computer read that there were no matches. "Not anymore." I flopped down face first onto the bed. "I should've run a test first. They got sucked into a cybervortex. Leading to another video game."

Jeremy's face dropped. "So you mean that Cand- they could be anywhere?"

"Yes."

Phineas POV

Candace walked up to me. It had been 2 and a half gamedays since we got sucked in. "Why did we get sucked in?"

"Weak coding. Part of it collapsed."

"Didn't you program it? So it's YOUR fault that we're stuck here!"

I looked over at Isabella. She was nodding in agreement with Candace. I went home to pack my stuff. I was going to find a way back home. I will fix it.

I stumbled over a crack in the ground and fell into a pit.

Only it wasn't a pit.

It was another cybervortex.
