ALTERNATE DIMENSIONS
Story by DarkHououmon
Jackie sighed, and walked over to her computer. She was not aware that she was being secretly watched by Hacker. She sat down in front of the monitor, and turned it on. She watched as the bright flash signaled that the computer booting itself up. She decided to go get a glass of juice while she waited. She didn't want to be away long, though. After what happened earlier, she wanted to play a game to get her mind off of Inez being missing. Well, had been missing that is. They were all safe and sound. She got up off the seat and walked towards the kitchen. She looked around and seen that there were plastic bags in the garbage can. 'Hmmm...went out shopping.' She thought as she walked towards her refrigerator. Jackie lifted her hand up and grabbed the handle and tugged. She grabbed the orange juice carton, half empty, and took out a cup and poured the juice into it. She sighed as she looked into the glass, seeing her reflection. She shrugged and walked back towards the computer. It had already booted up, revealing the desktop contents. Sitting down, she moved the mouse towards 'Start' and clicked onto 'Programs', then 'Games'.
'Maybe I should play something for a bit...' After all, she hadn't gotten played a good and relaxed game in a long time. Well, to her, a day and a half is a long time. She had some nasty computer habits. Not nasty as in disgusting. Nasty as in bad. She loved the computer so much that she once stayed on all day. That was quite some experience! She had promised she wouldn't do that again...but no one seems to believe her on that one. 'Gee...I wonder why.' She started typing something. She was completely oblivious to the fact that Hacker was watching her every move through the monitor itself. His face remained hidden from her, but he could very well see her. He clutched his fists together and turned around to his minions. "Get that machine ready!" Delete and Buzz looked around them. "What machine, boss?" Delete said, shrugging his shoulders. Hacker smacked his head. "The one inside the top closet, you duncebuckets!" "Oh...that one."
Hacker smacked his face with his hand. 'How did I get stuck with such idiots? Where did I go wrong?' "Yes...THAT ONE! Now grab it!" He watched in annoyance as the two robots scrambled towards the closet and pulled out the device. It was shaped like a triangle and had a pattern of squares and circles on it. Delete ran over to the boss, the triangle in his hands. Buzz waved after him, trying to stop him. Whenever Delete brings something to the boss, it's liable to get broken. "Delete, bring that back!" But the taller robot continued to run over to Hacker, shouting, "I got it, boss!" Hacker turned around, and yelled, "Give that to me!" Delete nodded, but then his foot got caught in a crack in the floor. Buzz was supposed to fill it up earlier. Delete fell face-first into the ground hard, and the object in his hands went sailing into the air. "No!" The Hacker started to run backwards, his eyes on the triangle. As it just about landed harshly on the ground, he leapt up and caught it. He then crashed into the ground, sliding a bit as he did. The robots cheered. "Way to go boss!" Buzz said. Delete agreed, "Yeah, nice catch boss."
Hacker glanced over at them, a death-glare on his face. "You two duncebuckets almost destroyed my most valuable creation!" The robots then looked on downcasted. "Sorry...boss." The green man didn't want to deal with them. He knew he had a more important matter at hand! He turned towards the screen, watching Jackie doing who-knows-what on the computer. He thought that Inez was the only computer maniac of the group, but Jackie likes to get on, too, to play computer games. He narrowed his eyes darkly. "The time has come, child, for you and your friends to pay for what you've done to me!" He held out the object in front of him, planting it on the screen. "Right now!" Hacker then pressed one of the squares. The triangle then started to glow and the markings started to shift. Buzz and Delete held on to a pole because the force of the triangle felt like it was going to suck them in. Hacker just stood there laughing maniacally as the triangle's effect went through the phone lines towards not only Jackie's home, but Matt, Digit, and Inez as well!
"What the?" Inez asked as she was trying to write down some computer data. A red portal ripped open from her monitor. It was glowing darkly, and warped objects floated inside rather than the normal digits she and her friends see. She backed away from the computer, but it was no use. The vacuum soon sucked her inside. She let out a scream of surprise, and soon nothing was left of her. The red portal closed behind her, sealing her inside. Matt was trying to milk the cow when the red portal appeared in front of him. The cow shook her head, and took off in one direction, frightened of the reddish glow. Matt gasped as the portal soon sucked him inside, making him drop the bucket of milk he had in his hands. The milk spilt down on the ground, and then the red portal closed tightly, almost cutting off one of his legs. Jackie screamed in horror from her home. As she was trying to play another game, the screen started to glow crimson. The light swirled into a spiral. She knew it was a portal. But unlike Motherboard's portals this one was sheer red and dark. The black-red light drove her inside, making her vanish into thin air as it closed down behind her. Digit was the last one to recieve the shock of the red portals. He was inside the main room watching Motherboard when the red portal broke through, causing Digit to fall inside. Mr. Marbles and Motherboard did not see this. Motherboard was in Sleep Mode and Marbles was out looking for the Encrypto Chip.
"Guys?" Jackie asked as she saw her friends floating up next to her. "What's going on?" Digit asked, confused on what was going to happen to them. Inez shook a little, just as worried as he was. Matt waved his hands, trying to grab onto something. But what was the point? Since they were inside the portal, what good was it waving your arms around? There isn't anything to grab onto! Matt shifted his eyes towards Inez, asking her if she knew what was going on. She glared a bit at him. "If I knew that already, I would've told you!" "Sorry, Nezzie." Inez shook her head, explaining, "If you call me Nezzie just one more time, you'll find out what your shoes taste like." The boy gulped voluntarily, not wishing to provoke her any further. He placed his hands in front of him as a sign of apology. "I'm sorry, Nez---I mean Inez." Suddenly, a bright light shown ahead. Or bright lights, as they noticed that there was more than one light source. The lights were pure white, and each of them was at an end of a different portal tunnel. Matt, Jackie, Inez, and Digit started to panic as they were pulled away from eachother, and towards different ends.
"JACKIE! MATT! INEZ!" Digit yelped as he was sucked towards the first portal, closing behind him. Matt was started to get dragged into the other one. "AAAAAHHHH!" The portal closed behind him as he entered. Inez went off yet another way. This time one the far left, the last one. Jackie went in the other way. They both screamed in terror as they entered the seperate portals, trying their best not to enter. Jackie shouted Inez's name before her portal closed in on her. Inez screamed again as hers also closed in. Then the red portal vanished as if it was never there...
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
A scream shattered Cyberspace as a light shown from the clouds, a figure descended from it...very fast. The figure landed harshly on the ground, rolling a few times on her side before coming to a complete stop. She climbed to her feet as a cloud of dust hovered around her. She brushed herself off, then looked around. It was Jackie, and her yellow shirt had some grass and mud stains on it from the fall. The light that brought her down disappeared almost as fast as it had appeared. She looked up towards the sky. 'How did I get here?' She looked around. It seemed like she was in Cyberspace, but something was different about it. She knew something was a little off...but what? She had noticed that there were slight more damages that before. As she gazed closer at the building she was nearest to, she noticed that there was some type of beak mark on the place were it was being busted in. She placed her hand on her forehead. 'This is strange.' She then saw a citizen walking about town. It was a small man, appeared to be robotic. She walked over to him.
"Hello. Have you seen any other humans around here?" She asked as the figure turned around and greeted her. The person nodded. "Yes indeed I have. But I thought you were with them." "I kinda was...but there was this..." "Enough talk. They need your help." Jackie's eyes widened in surprise. She knelt down to reach the man's eye level, and asked, "Need me? For what?" Shouldn't have said that...the man hit his head like she was an idiot. He placed his hands on his hips, then crossed them across his chest. "For the Bird Snatching Competition, of course! YOU'RE one of the judges." Seeing Jackie's surprised face, he continued, "You okay? You look a bit out of it, kid." The black girl shook her head, then headed off in the right direction. 'Me? Judge? Bird Snatching Competition? What's going on here!' She continued to walk towards the fair, where the competition is supposedly being held.
She noticed that a lot of people were stopping to wave to her or to say hello. A couple of them even stoped to shake hands with her. 'Is this because I'm judge or is there something else really going on?' She continued to walk over towards one of the tents. On the front it said 'Bird Snatching Competition'. She looked towards the tent. It was bright yellow with some blue stripes. She rubbed her eyes. Those colors were hurting her eyes. They were a bit too bright for them. Averting her head towards the ground, she walked up to the tent. She didn't really know what to expect. This isn't how she remembered things. She certainly didn't remember anything about signing up to be a judge. She didn't sign up at all in any circus. She doubted that Matt and Inez could've forged her hand writing. There had to be another reason! She just about entered the net when she heard some voices inside.
"Are you sure you're up to it?" A voice that sounded a lot like Inez's said.
"Yeah, sure I am." That voice sounded hauntingly like Jackie's!
The third voice, which sounded like Matt's, said, "Then go for it."
The final voice didn't come from Digit...it sounded more like Delete. "Yeah, go for it!"
Jackie leaned herself slightly against the tent. She pressed her right ear against the cloth. She wanted to be sure that she wasn't hearing things. If she was outside of the tent, then who was inside? With her hands on the tent, she slowed her breathing, and tried to listen. Unfortunately, she wobbled a bit, and that caught someone's attention. Inside the net, 4 figures stood there. Matt, Inez, and Delete were in there, but so was another Jackie! They all pretty much looked the exact same. Their clothes were the same, and their voices were the same. Delete narrowed his eyes towards the walls of the tent. "Hey guys?" Alt-Jackie shifted her gaze towards the tall robot. "Look over there." He pointed a teal metal finger towards the walls of the tent, a shadow slightly painted on them. Matt, his eyes narrowed, walked over towards the wall. Inez shouted, "Be careful, Matt!" "I will!"
'Matt? Inez? What are they doing here?' Jackie thought, then she felt footsteps approaching her.
Before she could react, the curtains were pulled apart fast. The black girl fell to her knees, then almost to her stomach, her face down. She was now inside of the tent, very surprised. She slowly rose, hearing an encore of gasps in front of her. She brushed herself off, and looked straight ahead. She looked left from right, then it was her turn to gasp when she saw her look-alike counterpart.
"Oh my...god..." Jackie whispered under her breath. Ahead of her was an identical twin of herself! The skin tone, the hair style, the fashion...it was all the same. The two 'sisters' stared at eachother in death silence. Neither one of them made a move. No one spoke a word. The only sound being made was the sound of the tent flaps flapping against the ground and metal bars that were supporting it. The real Jackie blinked a few times, astonished at the sight she had found. 'She...she...looks exactly like me...she IS me!' Her mind said. It was still trying to digest this new bit of information. 'Well..I guess I should try and introduce myself...' "H-H-Hello." Jackie managed to choke out. Her counterpart responded in the same tone of voice, "H-H-Hello." Their voices were identical. Delete's eyes were full of shock. "Two Jackies?" Matt rubbed his eyes a few times, trying to see if he really was hallucination or not. Through his scratchy eyes, he could still make out 2 Jackies. There wasn't even a way to tell them apart! "Oh man." He said out loud. "I can't tell them apart!" Inez shook her head, surprised as well. "You're right...there's just no way..." Jackie and Alt-Jackie looked at eachother for a few seconds longer. Finally one of them broke the silence again, "I-I'm Jackie." "So am I!"
Jackie finally noticed Delete standing there. He didn't make any threatening moves. He had his hands behind his back, leaning against one of the metal poles, one foot up and crossing over the other leg. Jackie visibly shook. "What's he doing here?" She asked her counterpart, pointing at the humanoid robot, who looked on questionably. The counterpart shrugged her shoulders, looking obviously confused. 'What's she talking about?' "Why?" "Whenever Delete's around, Hacker isn't too far behind..." The original replied softly. Despite her fear, she said that pretty calmly. But her counterpart sure didn't reply calmly... "Why would you say a thing like that!" She half yelled. "You know very well that he's on our side!" Jackie cocked her head to her left. "Hacker?" Alt-Jackie slapped herself in the face, trying to think of why Jackie was acting like she didn't know anything. "NO! Delete!" She panted angrily, rubbing her throat. She had yelled too loud. Delete nodded. "Yes, it is true. Why would you think I was with Hacker?" The black girl ignored the robot. She looked frantically all around the tent, as if she lost something. Inez cautiously approached her and asked what she was looking for. "When was the last time any one of you has seen Digit?"
She never expected the reaction she got out of that one. Delete immediantly cowered to the ground. Matt looked like he was ready to punch somebody...probably her. Inez narrowed her eyes, and Alt-Jackie took in a gasp of horror. Jackie looked puzzled by their reactions. "What? What'd I say?" The hispanic girl replied, in a growly voice, "Don't say his name around here." Jackie's face scrunched up in confusion. It was clear that she didn't understand what they meant. She walked up a bit closer, determined to get some questions answered. "Why? What's so bad about..." "What's so bad about Digit! Ha!" Inez scoffed. "That's like saying what's so bad about avalanches!" Inez almost screamed at the top of her lungs. Jackie stepped backwards a few inches. "B-But I thought that..." Matt shot a harsh glare at her, for some reason mad at her for mentioning Digit's name. But the black girl did not know why. "Digit works for Hacker. Always has, always will!"
"Wait..." Jackie muttered loud enough for them to here. "Do you guys know about alternate dimensions?" They nodded. "Well, I think it's obvious I'm from another dimension." "Yes we can see that." Jackie replied, "Well, there are somethings different were I came from. Let me fill you in some of the major details..." The 4 listened to the out-of-dimensioner as she begun to explain what was going on, where she came from, and how things were like in her world.
Watching them from up above was Hacker. He was riding in his Grim Wreaker. Inside, 2 shadows can be seen walking back and forth within the chambers of the ship. The green man looked up at the screen, and shook his head, trying to make sense of what was going on. "2 of the same child? How can this be! DIGIT!" A few seconds later, a bird identical to the real Digit landed at Hacker's feet. He looked almost just like the Digit that Jackie knew, but the alternate Digit had a red scar going across his face, from eye to eye. He also had permanent markings on his wings, like stripes, only they were scratches from working so hard. His tail feathers were pointed instead of rounded at the tips. He had slightly longer claws on his feet, and his teeth were sharp instead of rounded. Other than that, he looked just like the other Digit. Digit bowed to his master, and said, "What is it?" Hacker pointed up at the screen, which revealed 4 kids, 2 of which were identical. "How do you explain that?"
Digit narrowed his eyes up at the screen. "I see nothing wrong, master." He then peered closer, squinting his eyes to get a better look, then said darkly, "Oh, yeah...now I see..." The tall cyborg next to him placed a hand on his face, covering most of it. Shaking his head slowly back and forth, he replied to Digit, "Yes, now can you tell me how that's possible?" The cyboid folded up his wings as though he were angry. "You mean you don't know?" Hacker gave him a harsh glare, causing the cyboid to gulp and back up a bit. A similiar gaze upon his face, the bird continued to explain, all the while Hacker was listening. "One of them must have came from another dimension!" That was all Digit had to say to make The Hacker to understand what was going on. 'A human? Another dimension?' The green cyborg looked at the screen again, which now showed the twin standing up while the others were listening, seemingly shocked by some of the details. 'I wonder what she's talking about...' Buzz came walking over, holding what appears to be a wrench in his hand. "Hey boss, where did you...huh?" His gaze went onto the monitor. "Two Jackies?" Digit glanced over at him. "One of them comes from another dimension." "You sure?" Buzz asked, only to be pushed to the ground by the slightly larger robot. "Of course I'm sure! It's either that or that clone machine works now!" 'Fat chance...' Buzz mentally said.
"Shut up, you two!"
The two robots immediantly stopped bickering and turned towards their boss and creator, The Hacker. Standing up, his shadow casted over them, he yelled, "Go get that human! 3 humans are bad enough!" The two robots bowed to Hacker once, then lifted themselves up and went towards the exit. Digit took of flying above Buzz, who had to jog out of the door. Hacker laughed inside the Grim Wreaker. "If there are alternate dimensions...think of the possibilities!" He stopped laughing, an evil smile on his face, and began to type frantically at the computer. He was looking for a way into another world...where he would bring in another version of himself. 'That way, no one can stop me!' Hacker laughed darkly in his mind as he continued to search.
"You come from another dimension?"
Alt-Jackie stared at her counterpart in surprise after she finished telling them how her dimension is different from theirs. She had told them about how Digit betrayed Hacker because he had betrayed Motherboard. Delete was fighting on the same side as Hacker, only he was much less evil. Delete's evil counterpart actually acts more like a child than anything else. Digit works for Motherboard, and is not as fierce or scary-looking as the evil Digit. The ironic thing is, everything else happened the exact same way in the beginning. The only change was that Digit was reprogrammed to be evil, and it was Delete who got tired of the chaos and destruction, then just left. Jackie wiped her forehead due to exhaustion. "That was a long explaination, right?" The others and the counterpart nodded slowly. Delete cautiously approached her, asking, "I'm evil in your dimension?" The black girl sadly nodded. "I'm afraid so, but your dark counterpart is not very evil at all." The tall robot smiled. "Really?" "Yep. In fact, your evil counterpart has the mind and heart of a child. I remember..."
She stopped herself, not wanting to continue. 'Should I continue?' The 4 looked at her expectedly, so she shook her head slightly. 'Might as well...' "Well, there was this time when my friends and I had to go to Castleblanca." Matt interrupted, "Yes, I remember that place. That's where Hacker tried to create Gigabyte, but...oh." Jackie's glare made him stop. Sighing angrily, she attempted to continue, "Anyway, as I was trying to say," She looked at Matt again, who shrugged his shoulders, "My friends and I went there to find Hacker. All Motherboard told us was that he was in a castle. Through analyzing a map and doing a survey, we finally found him. But when we got inside, it was already too late. The moon had reflected off the mirror and started to transform Gigabyte. Somehow, when Delete went to replug the monster up, his brain was copied and zapped into the monster instead of Dr. Marbles."
Inez raised her hand. She didn't want to interrupt so rudely, so she believed that maybe her hand raising wouldn't be much of a distraction to her. "Yes, Inez?" Inez stood up. 'She's acting like this is school...' Jackie said to herself. "That's almost what happened here, only here it was Buzz's brain instead. Despite that fact, Gigabyte was hard to counter. We managed to to push him down the stairs were Digit and Buzz were. Boy did they look funny when they landed in the water with Hacker!" Alt-Jackie nodded, reflecting back on that moment. Before she got too far, Delete's shaking shook her back to reality. Jackie nodded, "Yes, I expected a difference. Gigabyte wasn't a problem for my friends and I. Because Gigabyte got Delete's brain, he wasn't very bright, and didn't follow orders correctly. He was struck by lightning and tumbled down on top of Buzz and Delete. Pretty much the same result happened: They fall onto Hacker who was in the water below." She then lowered herself to the ground. "I'll never forget the time when I was drowning and Digit saved my life...It's kinda hard to imagine him being the bad guy here." Matt walked over, though warily. "I know the feeling. It's kinda hard to imagine him the good guy at all."
"Oh really?" Jackie muttered, her eyes narrowed, not out of anger. It was out of interpretation. Matt slowly nodded his head, fumbling with his fingers. He explained to her that she may be able to easily picture Digit as good, but for him, since Digit had tried to kill him several times, it was hard to imagine him any other way. Jackie nodded her head in acceptance. "I still need a way to get back to my own dimension. Knowing Hacker he's probably already..." But her voice was cut off by something thin and sharp that sailed by her head. It only missed her face by an inch! The black girl noticed the alternate's reactions, which were the same as earlier when she first mentioned Digit's name in front of them. Gulping, she turned around slowly and came face to face with the same cyboid that she once called her friend. But he looked different. His tail feathers, his teeth, the eyes, the feet...they were slightly different from how she was used to seeing them. 'At least I will be able to tell them apart...' She mentally said as the evil version Digit flew in closer.
"Well, well now..." Digit said coldly, "What do we have here? An extra human?" Jackie shook a bit, then straightened up. "What do you want?" The cyboid narrowed his white eyes in anger. He gave out a snarl, his razor teeth bared, glinting in the light. He said in a low growly voice, "What do I want? It's what the boss wants." Jackie narrowed her eyes thinner, trying to indicate to the bird she wanted to know who he was talking about. "You!" Immediantly, Digit flew up into the air and swooped down, claws extended. "Ahhh!" Jackie dove down, the claws barely grazing her hair. Buzz jumped out, carrying a large electro-net in his hands. Alt-Jackie rushed forward to help Jackie escape while Matt, Inez, and Delete rushed back for help. They couldn't stay to fight. The last time they tried doing that Digit almost pushed them off a cliff! They had to go back...
"Come on! We're out of here!" Alt-Jackie started to drag Jackie away towards an opening in another tent, Digit and Buzz not far behind. They rushed through the animals, and hid behind one of the thick-barred cages. They knelt down on their knees, bending down low enough. As they spoke, they spoke in low whispers. "You think they've given up?" Jackie asked, eyes on the area they had just come in. Her counterpart shrugged her shoulders. She didn't know either. When it came to Digit and Buzz...anything was possible. 'So I guess that Buzz is more of a threat now that Digit's his partner...' Jackie looked left to right, and then saw a shadow casting above her and her counterpart. They both looked up and screamed in terror. Digit laughed. "FOUND YOU!" Alt-Jackie jumped out of the way as Buzz dropped the net. But before Jackie could get up, she was caught under the net. She stood up, struggling to get out, but the balls hooking the ropes together activated, sending out volts of shocking electricity! "AAAAAHHHHH!" The electricity ran through her body, making it feel burnt, cold, and numb all at once. She collapsed to the floor, the next still on her. Her body still shook in fright and surprise. She had a few cuts now from the shock of the thunder, and her eyes were closed tightly. Digit and Buzz tied the net closed to keep the human from escaping. Buzz said, "Let's take her to the boss." The two robots then walked out of the tent, leaving behind a frightened Alt-Jackie.
"Oh no...they've got...my counterpart!" She yelled to herself.
Moments later, Matt, Inez, and Delete came rushing into the tent after following the footprints. Behind them was Dr. Marbles and Judge Trudy, who had come to help save them. They had told them about the other Jackie and how Digit and Buzz came in to attack them. Dr. Marbles knelt by Alt-Jackie's side. "What's wrong, Jackie?" He asked gently, helping her off the ground. Delete looked from side to side, and raised up his hands in confusion. "Where's your alternate?" Alt-Jackie looked at him through eyes full of terror and horror. "She was captured!"
Dr. Marbles stepped aback at this, and Trudy nodded, adjusting the badge on her shoulder. "That is bad, isn't it?" She looked down towards the ground, pondering about the current situation. The robot man next to her nodded his head. "Affirmative!" He felt a tug on his shirt and turned around to see Matt looking up at him through worried eyes. Eyes seemingly starting to water, he asked shakingly how they were going to resue the other Jackie. Dr. Marbles looked at him, and slouched in shoulders in defeat, stating that they had no way of getting her back. Once someone was captured by Hacker here, they never get out. A collection of gasps filled the room. The Cybersquad alternates looked out towards the exit of the tent, just where Jackie, the other one, was taken hostage by Digit, Hacker, and Buzz. Inez looked to the ground, sadly adjusting her glassed. "I hope she'll be okay..." "We have to help her!" Delete yelled courageously, surprising everyone else. "We have to! There has to be a way!" He looked up at the doc angrily. "There has to be a way!". Dr. Marbles and Judge Trudy looked at eachother as the robot said this, both equally shocked by his behavior. And Delete was right...they had to do something...if Jackie doesn't get back to her own dimension, something terrible might happen! Dr. Marbles then looked up at the sky, mentally saying to himself, 'I know we have to do something about this, Delete. But I just don't know what.'
"Let me go!" Jackie yelled, who finally awakened from the stun blast. She was being carried in the air by the evil Digit. On the ground Buzz was trotting along, trying to keep pace with the bird. But how can one keep pace with a bird who flies faster than anyone can run? They didn't have to worry about much friction, so they pretty much moved about twice as fast as anything that can run. One particular bird, Peregrine Falcon, could move over 3 times faster in the air than a cheetah. Jackie continued to struggle, but everytime she tried, a small shock was sent through her body, shocking her. Digit glowered at her, his teeth bared. "Shut up human! Hacker wants to see you." The tall yet frightened girl didn't know what else to do. It was obvious she could bribe her way out of this. She didn't have anything to cut the net with, and Digit and Buzz weren't about to let her go. So she just looked on ahead and saw the Grim Wreaker sitting on the ground. The door was open, and the pathway inside was let out, touching the ground a bit. 'There is it...' Jackie whispered mentally, scared.
Digit and Buzz, holding the net, walked in through the doors. Hacker was still at his seat typing in something. On the screen was an image of what appeared to be a wolf, but with saber-teeth. He appeared to be talking to him. When he heard a sound behind him, he shut off the computer quickly, and swerved around. His eyes caught onto the girl in the net. The Hacker walked over closer, bringing up his face close to the girl's. Jackie cringed back, a look of fright on her face. Her eyes followed Hacker, wondering what he was going to do to her. The cyborg smiled. "You two did an excellent job. You are now dismissed." The robots bowed, and left. Hacker smiled darkly at the human girl. "And as for you...your troubles have only begun!" He reached down and took off the net that covered her body. The electricity kept him at bay. Jackie got up and tried to run for the exit, but the tall man behind her grabbed her neck, bringing her back. His eyes narrowed menacingly, he said darkly, "Oh, you aren't going anywhere, girl. I have plans for you!"
The girl cringed, shaking violently. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see just what the Hacker was up to. There seemed to be a helmet next to him, with a remote. Her mind, frightened, said, 'He's going to brainwash me...' Hacker reached over to the helmet, prepared to take total control of the girl. "With you, I'll be able to finally defeat those lousy kids once..and FOR ALL! HAHAHAHAAAAA!" He laughed darkly, the helmet in his hands. He lowered it down towards Jackie's head, who can only shake and move as far back as she could. 'I'm sorry...' The helmet was placed on her head, a jolt of power rushed through her, then...nothing but...darkness.
--------------------------------------
End of chapter 3! In the following chapter, Inez will land in a dimension where things as she knows it are different. There's a bigger difference now. This time...she may have to fight against the people she grew to trust. Want to know what it is? Stay tuned for the next chapter! XD If you'd like a sneak peak, e-mail me at and I'll send you the preview document. Remember, it's only a preview, 2 pages long at least. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! XD The next 3 chapters will contain the other members of the Cybersquad in a different dimension, and finally the 7 chapter should be the one where they all attempt to get back to their own world. The wolf-like creature I haven't figured out a name for. I'm thinking of the name Saberami, but that sounds too much like my digi-character, Saberamimon.
