A/N: Alright everyone! I know the update was to come on the 17th, but to make up for that I have a three, yes I said three, chapter update! I'm fairly sure that chapter twelve will be the last chapter but do not fret. Tales of Infinity will keep you on edge! Obviously I don't own Cyberchase. Ok, please read, review, and enjoy!

Things Unknown

Chapter 9

Deception

"What!" Everyone, Ada included, gasped.

"I'm glad you see things my way, Sartorious," Hacker said. "Now, how do you want to do this?"

"Simple, first my son and I will enter our security codes into the system to begin the shutdown process. Then Marbles will get the security chip and give it to you so you may destroy it to guarantee that Motherboard isn't coming back. Then, you give Ada and Jackie back, and leave for the Northern Frontier."

"Deal, now start. Your friends will be waiting up on the balcony."

"Fine," Marbles said as he turned to the control panel, his father besides him.

On a small 13 inch screen a dialogue box popped up. It showed spots for two separate passwords. Sartorious typed in his and Marbles followed suit. Then a little red button with the word "FIRE" popped up/ After Marbles hit another, smaller, button the screen went dark. Then Sartorious hit the "FIRE" button and a little count down began. Marbles took a small, square chip and walked towards Hacker.

"Here's the security chip, you fiend." Marbles hissed.

"Thank you boy. This is the smartest thing you've ever done bubblehead," Hacker sneered.

From th balcony, Buzz and Delete cheered for their boss as he yanked the chip from Dr. Marbles' hand.

"Way to go boss!" The two henchmen cheered. "You're finally supreme ruler of Cyberspace," Buzz yelled down.

"Not a moment too soon either, my henchmen," Hacker responded.

"You have whit you want now, Hacker," Sartorious said. "Now release the ladies."

"Oho, aren't you getting testy, your highness," Hacker snickered. "Your accent is coming through quite clearly now but that doesn't matter not. Anyway, I'll release them as soon as I am back on the Wreaker."

"Then leave," Marbles said.

"Very well, I bid you all adieu." Hacker said then left for the Grim Wreaker.

All eyes were now upon Dr. Marbles and his father. Digit was the first one to ask, "Why did you give her up?"

"Shush…. Not now Digit." Marbles chastised the cybird.

Hacker was now back on his ship and had demanded that Buzz return to the shop as well. That left Delete guarding the two hostages. Hacker then came over the Wreaker's loudspeaker.

"Alright, you may now have your little friends back now. Let 'em go, Delete!"

Delete released them but not in the expected way. Instead of just untying their hand restraints and letting the ladies walk away, he released them of his restraints them pushed them over the balcony!

In the blink of an eye, Sartorious and Marbles dashed towards them inhumanly fast towards Jackie and Ada. Then they leaped thirty five feet into the air, Marbles catching Ada and Sartorious catching Jackie. The men landed gently on the floor and placed the girls on their feet. Hacker wasn't too pleased with the outcome of the fall, but he had a backup plan. When Delete had made it back to the Grim Wreaker, Hacker announced his next plan to the group over the loudspeaker.

"Aww, how sad," Hacker mocked. "You landed unhurt. But I have news for you! You are all about to die."
