Much later, Decimal wagged her tail. She was ready to go give these wrong doers a taste of their own medicine. Hacker, Buzz and Delete were all kitted out in black gear. Even Decimal herself had on a black harness with side bags hanging off of the side. "We're ready." Hacker stated as he set course back towards Control Centeral. "Sir, what's our course of action?" Decimal asked.
"Take anything worth of value. Marbles's stuff, cryoxide, for all I care, you can even take that cyber-turkey off their hands." Hacker told the crew with a laugh. They all nodded. "Yes, Boss!" Buzz and Delete said together.
"Yes sir!" Decimal put in. They arrived just outside of Control Central. They all manage to sneak in one way or another without setting off any alarms this time. Decimal started out in Dr. Marble's lab. She knocked various potions and mixtures into one bag. In the other, she loaded small gadgets and gizmos. Buzz and Delete double-teamed the cryoxide supply. With that, the alarms started sounding and Motherboard's screen blinked on. A few moments later her voice echoed throughout Control Central. "Hack Attack! Hack Attack!" Decimal seen Dr. Marbles appear in his lab as she was shoving more stuff into her bag. "Decimal!" Dr. Marbles hissed. "Put that back that doesn't belong to you!"
"Does now!" Decimal said cheerily as she dashed for the door. Immediately, a barred gate slammed down blocking her path. She look around for the other entrance where Marbles came from. She had seen the doctor step of from that entrance and other barred gate shut there. She was trapped. "Let me out of here!" Decimal shouted. She ran to the first door, the main door and helplessly watched the rest of the action. Hacker came out of a hallway holding Digit by the tail feathers. Digit fought against him. "Unhand me!" Digit said struggling. The portal appeared and the Earth kids came out. They were tired, but didn't hesitate in helping Digit. Inez ran over and stomped on Hacker's foot. That made him lose his hold on the cyboid. "Buzz and Delete are draining the cryoxide supply." Motherboard told them. Matt and Jackie ran to where the cryoxide supply room was. A few minutes later Buzz and Delete were fleeing from Matt and Jackie. "Come on we have enough, let's go." Hacker tcoulold the two henchmen.
"Hey! I'm in here!" Decimal called out to them.
"What about Decimal?" Buzz asked.
"Leave her. We have what we need for now." Hacker responded. Decimal was shocked that he would just leave her. Just like that, he dropped her like she never mattered. "But Boss!" Delete started.
"I said leave her, let's go!" Hacker hissed as the three retreated to the Grim Wreaker. Even the Cybersquad were surprised. They all turned to Marbles's lab to see Decimal behind a barred gate. They heard the Grim Wreaker take off. Decimal backed up until she was against the wall furthest from the door. "Hacker just left her..." Inez said.
"N-No! Sh-Shut up! H-He's coming b-back for me!" Decimal tried to protest. Hacker would come back for her. There's no way he'd leave her. He would come back. Everyone walked up to the door. "I feel bad for her." Jackie started. "Even if it was just an act before, she knows how it feels to really be abandoned."
"Shut up!" Decimal barked. "He's g-going to come b-back. He wouldn't j-just leave me with you!" He just has too... Decimal thought. She tried to fight back tears . She laid down and curled up into a ball back facing the door. She wasn't going to show the bad guys that she was weak. That's the last thing she wanted to do, let the enemy know of your weakness. Even though the Cybersquad couldn't see it, Decimal was crying. Tears stained the fur the covered her metallic skin. "I feel like she needs comfort..." Matt said reaching an arm through the bars for a moment before his hand came back down to his side. He looked to Dr. Marbles. "How do I get inside?"
"Are you crazy?" Digit asked. "That thing slapped and beat me to the ground. TWICE! It doesn't deserve to be comforted."
"Digit, at some point in time we were all her friend. Even if it was a one way thing. We all cared for her. And right now, she needs care more than anything." Matt explained.
"No I don't. Back off, Ginger-Boy" Decimal snapped.
"I have a name. It's Matthew. You can call me Matt for short." Matt said.
"I could care less. In my eyes you're still evil. I don't want anything to do with any of you." Decimal growled.
"Decimal, mark my words, I'll make sure that we'll do anything to get you to understand." Matt said with a small smiles. Decimal had no response. The Cybersquad was silent for a while. Eventually, Inez broke the silence, "So, what are we going to do with her?"
"Decimal is right about one thing." Motherboard started. "Hacker will be back for her." Digit thought for a moment before coming up with a plan. "I have an idea!" Digit exclaimed. "We use Decimal as bait for Hacker. When Hacker comes back for her, we use that opportunity to capture him and then we can say "Bye Bye, Hackie."
This cause tears to stream more down Decimal's face. This was bad enough, but now because of her, the bad guys will win. They'll capture Hacker and continue to rule and ruin Cyberspace. It was all her fault. There was one possibility that struck her mind. That the kids were telling the truth. What if they were the good guys and Hacker was a bad guy? No! Decimal thought. It's still all a trap. None of it is true! This even proves it! They're trying to catch Hacker. Only bad guys want to catch people that want to stop them! That means Hacker's in trouble! I need to get out of here!
Decimal finally poked her head up. She glanced around at her surroundings for the first time in a while. The doors were still locked. Darn. It seems like a long time had passed. Did she go to sleep? It didn't matter. Of Hacker was captured she was probably going to be finished off not long later. She had spotted a newly installed camera in a high corner of the lab. "They want to make sure I don't do anything." Decimal said to herself. The kids were no where to be seen. They were probably back on Earth. Digit was out talking to Dr. Marbles and Motherboard. Decimal had a sudden itch. Naturally, she itched it. She thought nothing of it. She also realized that the same bed that the kids had bought her was inside the lab near the door. Decimal smiled as she went over to it. She grabbed it before dragging it to where she's been laying. She snugged into it before falling asleep.
