A/N: Alright, everyone knows the drill. I don't own Cyberchase, plain and simple. If you have not heard of it then it's mine. Some characters I borrowed from other shows, the deal with them is that I only borrowed their appearance and maybe career. Their new personality is of my creation. As is this plotline. I'm sorry to all my awesome readers that I have not updated this in forever, but here it is and the next few chapters will be here on August 17th. Thanks in advance for the reviews! On with the show! ~Kawaii Stella

Dr. Marbles walked down the hall to the medical examination room. It was a relief knowing he had the panel, but that was only one hurdle cleared. Yet so many still stood in his way. There was little doubt that Hacker would make another appearance soon, so Marbles would need to be on top guard.

Inez was waiting patiently in a chair in the examination room when Dr. Marbles walked in.

"Hello, Inez. I hear that your ankle is swollen," Dr. Marbles said.

"It is swollen but only a little bit," Inez informed him.

"Let's see about that. Hop up on the exam table so I can take a look," Dr. Marbles instructed, his back turned to Inez as he laid out a few tools.

Inez tried to hop onto the table but failed. An "Ouch" escaped her lips as her ankle throbbed with pain.

"Uh-oh. I think that ankle is quite a bit sore. Let me help you up," Marbles said as he lifted Inez onto the table.

"Thanks," Inez said.

"You're welcome. Alright, Inez, which foot hurts?" Dr. Marbles asked as he pulled on a pair of latex gloves.

"My right foot."

"Okay, shoe and sock off please. My, your ankle is indeed swollen. This happened when you slipped in that puddle last night, didn't it?"

"Yes, it did." Inez conceded.

"Dr. Marbles' examination didn't take long. After a few minutes he wrapped up Inez's ankle in a brace and gave her a few aspirin for the pain.

Inez got down from the table and put her show back on as Dr. Marbles tidied up. As he did, his head began to spin. His eyes got wide and turned from brown to a glowing purple. He was having a vision of the future. Marbles hadn't had a vision in a long time. The vision was sketchy, unusual for a full-blooded psychic. He could only make out two things: a gun and a girl whom he didn't know nor had ever seen. Then it was all gone and his mind cleared. Inez noticed that he was sort of doubled over.

"Are you alright, Dr. Marbles?" Inez asked.

"Oh, yes, I'm alright. Just thinking about things; Ready to go meet up with the others?"

"Yes. By the way, why did you leave medical practice if you don't mind me asking."

"Not at all. You see, I graduated from med school at fifteen. That was eleven years ago when most sixteen year-olds would've been worrying about getting their drivers licenses. I was enrolled in Cyber-Princeton's Advanced School of Medicine when I was twelve so I could head right out into the field. I loved being a doctor; don't get me wrong, being able to help people every day was amazing. I was just too young. Being a full-fledged doctor meant that I would have to settle down and give up a lot of things. At sixteen, I just want ready to do that just yet. So I decided to go back to school about a year after taking the Hippocratic Oath. Another year later I was certified technician and took my father's position here."

"Wow, that's amazing. I don't think I'd be able to settle down completely at sixteen either. Do you ever think about going back to medicine full time?" Inez wanted to know.

"Do I think about going back full time? Sure I do; but I know that won't happen in the foreseeable future. That's why I help out at the hospital when I can."

"That's really cool."

During the conversation the two had made their way to the living room where the others were sitting around, talking casually. As Marbles and Inez walked in the room everything seemed to be okay. Everyone seemed optimistic and cheerful. Marbles sat with Ada on the loveseat and Inez sat between Matt and Jackie on the sectional. Marbles received a picture message from Abel. He opened it and read the title text. It read: 'You have a couple more hours- Abel.' Marbles scrolled down and saw his father passed out on the floor of Abel's apartment. Marbles wanted to know what on Earth had happened but he knew he'd find out soon enough. There was another question he wanted to know the answer to, but couldn't find the right words. Thinking about questions, Dr. Marbles knew he wasn't the only one who had questions to ask. However, just as Dr. Marbles was going to see what questions the others had a chime rand through the sector. The wait was over.

"There it is!" Marbles exclaimed.

"What, Doc? What is it?" Digit asked.

"We found Motherboard!"

"With that, Dr. Marbles, Ada, Digit, and Slider ran to the lab. Matt went ahead to the Control Room to wait for the others. Jackie and Inez went into the kitchen to get a drink before they went to join up with Matt.

Inez and Jackie opened the double door fridge and grabbed out a couple cans of soda. Before they closed the fridge doors, the two noticed a small wine rack at the bottom; the wine rack held a few bottles of various wines.

"Ooh, I bet that Dr. Marbles and Lady L drink there when they have romantic evenings together," Jackie whispered.

"I'm sure they do, they are adults after all," Inez said.

"Let's see which kinds they like," Jackie said.

"Alright, I suppose it couldn't hurt."

So the girls took a single bottle at a time, examined it, and then set it back right where it had been before. The wines were fairly fancy, but were ones the girls had heard of before, like Chardonnay, various red and white wines, and some Pinot. The last bottle they looked at, however, was not something they'd heard of before. The label took Inez and Jackie aback.

"Inez," Jackie began. "Does this label say what I think it says?"

"It says 'Blood Wine'."

"That's what I thought," Jackie squeaked.

"It can't be real, can it? I mean this type of thing shouldn't even exist. It must be a prank of some sort."

"I sure hope you're right, Inez."

They put the bottle back and closed the fridge, leaving to meet Matt, forgetting all about their sodas. That little bottle had stirred some more questions in Jackie and Inez's heads. Questions like what exactly was that blood wine and just why it was in Dr. Marbles' fridge. However, they feared the answer to those questions, so they dared not asked them. When they met up with Matt, Inez told him and Jackie what Dr. Marbles had told her."

"Wow! That's amazing!" Matt said once Inez had finished.

"It is astonishing, but it still leaves a few unanswered questions," Jackie said.

"Like why does he hide his appearance, and why does he not want his father to help in this situation." Matt said.

Inez gave Jackie a look that said 'I don't think it's a good idea to tell Matt about the bottle of blood wine right now.'

Jackie nodded in understanding and agreement. Then Digit came flying in.

"Guys! This is it! The Doc found her!" Digit exclaimed.

"Well what are they waiting for?" asked Matt.

"Chill out, chill out! They're coming now!" Digit exclaimed.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hacker exclaimed.

"Gee, Buzzy," Delete said. "The boss sure does seem happy."

"Yeah, he's a lot better than he was last night, eh, Dee Dee. "

"Boys! Get ready!" Hacker exclaimed.

"Ready for what, Boss?" Delete asked.

"To take back what should be rightfully ours my henchmen!"

"You mean complete domination over Cyberspace?" Buzz asked.

"Indeed so, Buzz," Hacker said then gasped. "It's my lucky day! Look who it is!" Hacker smiled as he looked at the monitor.

The monitor showed a tall man, thin, with short blue hair walking into the housing sector of Control Central. His hair was dark blue in the back with light blue in the front with a patch of grey white in the middle. (Please go to my deviantArt page to see a picture of what I'm talking about.

"I've not seen him in eons. I can't believe that he actually cut his hair after all this time….. But that doesn't matter, what matters is that he will fetch a hefty sum."

"But what if we can't capture him?" Delete questioned.

"Then we get someone close to him. He's a king, and an extremely wealthy one at that. Either way, we get money out of him!" Hacker said and laughed manically. "Get the laser ready boys! It's time for revenge! Now we wait for the perfect moment to strike. If they don't succumb to my demands, then they shall fall victim to the power of my disintegration ray!"
