Somewhere in the outer regions of Cyberspace, on the cybersite known as the Northern Frontier, The Hacker was working in his lab within the Grim Wreaker. He was seated in front of his desk while writing in a large notepad, surrounded by mountains of crumpled-up paper. He would write down an idea he thought would work, only to rip up the piece of paper in frustration.
"Hmmm, maybe I could... No, that would never work! Hmmm…, How about I…. No no no! That would never work! Not in a billion cyber-years! Maybe... Err! No no NO!" He sighed furiously, ripping up the paper he had been writing on and tossed it behind him.
His two not-so-bright henchmen, Buzz and Delete, had heard him shouting frustratingly to himself, followed by the sound of paper being ripped. Curious, they carefully approached the door to the lab, which was opened slightly to a crack. Buzz decided to climb on his friend's shoulders to get a better look. But Delete lost his balance as Buzz climbed on top of him, or tried to, and caused himself and Delete to crash down to the floor. Not realizing it, as they fell they pushed the door open, alerting their boss who turned around, not being in a particularly good mood to see them.
"Errr! Can't you Dim-witted Duncebuckets see that I'm busy?!" Hacker shouted furiously at the two. Delete slowly moved behind his friend as Buzz swallowed nervously. He cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Sorry Boss, we noticed that you seemed to be frustrated, and we wanted to see what you were doing," Buzz spoke quietly, while Delete nodded slowly.
Hacker sighed, "We'll if you must know, I'm trying to come up with a plan to get rid of Motherboard and those menacing kids, and finally take over Cyberspace once and for all!" He explained, much to their uncertainty.
"How are you going to do that? Don't you remember, the Earth kids and Dr. Marbles managed to finally cure Motherboard from the virus that you gave her!" Buzz explained.
"Yeah, and don't you remember? They also made it so that she couldn't be infected by a virus or any other type of threat for good." Delete added sheepishly.
"I don't know, but that's not going to stop me. If I can somehow bypass the encryption chip mechanisms, I can make Motherboard weak again! Then, she'll be easier to deal with." Hacker explained.
"But how? Won't the Earth kids stop you like always?" Delete asked. He did have a point, as even if he were to destroy the encryptor chip like last time, the Earth brats would most likely find a way to prevent or stop him. Even if he could do so, they would certainly try to find a way to rebuild it.
Hacker stopped and became silent for a moment, pondering to himself. Before suddenly turning to the two and shouting at them in anger. "Will you two get out of here, I'm trying to come up with a plan, and you two are distracting me!" The two who were startled, nodded and followed their boss's orders and left in a huff.
Hacker turned back to face his desk and continued his work. However, he couldn't stop thinking about those Earth kids, who for the past several years have been the source of his anguish. Oh how he dreamed of one day finally disposing of them for good. He could have been able to take over all of Cyberspace years ago, if they hadn't come and constantly foiled his plans.
"If only…." Hacker thought to himself, as he picked up his pencil, before going back to work.
...
Meanwhile, in the city on Earth, our hero WordGirl and her monkey companion Captain HuggyFace were caught in an exciting battle between Dr. Two-Brains, who plotted to once again turn the entire city into cheese. The battle, however, as any other battle between her foes, was rather easy, as she was quickly able to defeat him. Although that was mostly due to one of his henchmen pressing one of the wrong buttons, causing the whole contraption to collapse.
"I'm sorry boss, how was I supposed to know that was the wrong button?" His henchman apologized, while the other one remained silent.
"What do you mean that you didn't know about... I told you two repeatedly that the button that you were SUPPOSED to press was the big red one!" Dr. Two-Brains argued. While Dr. Two-Brains continued to scold his henchmen, WordGirl took the opportunity to grab one of the street lamps and used it as a way to apprehend him and his henchmen.
"Thanks again WordGirl!" One of the police officers exclaimed. "Alright, you two have the right too..."
"Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I have the right to remain silent and all that. I've heard that over a hundred times already! Just get me untied, it's more painful than it looks!" Dr. Two-Brains interrupted. "Also, how are you people okay with this?"
As Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen were being taken to one of the squad cars, a crowd of people started surrounding the two and started clapping and cheering. A few news reporters ran up to WordGirl to take pictures and ask questions. This had always happened whenever she would defeat one of her many foes, but she didn't mind one bit.
As WordGirl finished shaking various people's hands and answering questions, she and Captain HuggyFace took off into the sky and flew towards the direction of their home. Watching from a nearby office building, Zach Varmitech: CEO of Varmitech Industries, and self-proclaimed genius inventor, watched as WordGirl once again defeated yet another villain's genius plans.
"There goes WordGirl again! I'm so happy to know we can always count on her to save the day!" Zach said in a cheerful yet sarcastic tone. "Ugh! She's so annoying, even more annoying than those Wild Rats!" He complained.
As he watched Dr. "Two-Brains being taken inside one of the squad cars, he was suddenly struck with an idea. He turned to two of his nearby robots or "Zachbots," and ordered them to come closer. "Zachbots, I want you two to go down there and bring me Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen from that squad car, AND STEP ON IT!"
After giving their instructions, the Zachbots saluted, before flying out an open window toward the squad car below. By now the crowd of people had died down, and a the squad car was leaving, it was able to drive further down towards the end of the street. The Zachbots had managed to catch up to it, and one of the robots flew in front of it while the other one opened the rear door and pulled the three out from the vehicle, much to their and the officer's confusion.
Once they had retrieved the doc and his henchmen, they flew back towards the topper part of the building where their master was waiting. Not before repetitively stomping on the squad car, completely flattening it, as they took their master's commands quite literally. The officers who were luckily able to get out in time, sat on the ground while also being so confused that they hadn't seen where the Zachbots had flown off. By the time they had registered what had happened, the robots had already made it back to Zach's office.
"Hey! What's the big idea?" Dr. Two-Brains angrily asked while one of Zach's robots uncuffed him. He stared angrily at Zach, who had a devious grin on his face. Zach then faced towards a large monitor, after messing with the keyboard, three more screens appeared on the screen, which was none other than Gaston Gourmand, Donita Donata and her henchman Dabio, and Paisley Paver, who all seemed not to appreciated that he had called.
"What is it, Zach? Don't you know that some of us are busy with things?" Paisley asked in an annoyed tone.
"Yeah! As in some of us being in the middle of making exquisite cuisines!" Gourmand angrily replied.
"Sorry for disturbing you all, but Dr. Two-Brains and I have an idea of how to not only get rid of those pesky Wild Rats, but also WordGirl as well!" Zach exclaimed, possessing an evil grin.
"We do?" Dr. Two-Brains asked confused, unsure what he was talking about.
"Of course we do!" Zach exclaimed. "Look, I have a proposition! What if all of us, alongside every villain in the city, team up together? They won't stand a chance against all of us, and we'll be able to get rid of them once and for all!" He laughed evilly while Dr. Two-Brains, as well as the other villains on the monitor, looked at him unsure.
"Now hold on Zach, while I do appreciate your enthusiasm, are you sure this will work? I mean, none of the other villains have worked well together in the past, what makes you sure they'll work together well this time?" Dr. Two-Brains asked.
"Yeah! He's got a point. Even we don't do so well when we try to work together." Gourmand explained.
"Of course this will work! Unlike those other times in the past, it's going to be different! Picture it! All of us working together using our powers and abilities, against those three, they won't be able to handle us all!" Zach assured him.
"I'm still not sure, and even if I was, you still have to also convince the others that this is a good idea." Dr. Two-Brains explained to him.
"Well, why don't we? I'm sure they'll love this idea!" Zach affirmed.
"Well see about that..." Dr. Two-Brains whispered to himself. "I just hope you know what you're doing Zach." He asked in a quiet and concerned tone.
...
"At last! I've finally got it!" Hacker exclaimed excitedly, jumping up from his chair. His henchmen ran into the room to see what was going on. As soon as he saw them, he ran up to them and hugged them, much to their confusion.
"Hey Boss, is everything alright? You seem a lot happier than usual." Buzz asked as he struggled to breathe. Hacker upon noticing, placed the two back on their feet on the ground, which the two began to quickly catch their breaths.
"I'm doing fine boys!" Hacker exclaimed happily. "I think I've figured out how to get rid of those Earth brats for good!" He exclaimed.
"Really how?" Delete asked, scratching his head puzzledly.
"Well, we know that those Earth kids come here from the real world through a portal, right?" Hacker perplexed.
"Yeah?" The two replied unsure where he was going with this.
"Wait Boss, is this going to be like the time when we were at R-Fair City, where you managed to trap the Earth kids in Cyberspace by crashing Motherboard's portal system with that portal freezing ray thingy?" Delete asked.
"Not quite." Hacker said calmly. "You see, even if I were to try and mess with any of Motherboard's components, there's no doubt that somehow those Earth kids will still be able to find a way to fix them." He clarified. "No, what I'm going to do is, using an old unused prototype, I'm going to create a device that once finished will allow us to create a portal to... The real world!" Hacker explained while shortly pausing to create a dramatic effect.
"The real world!?" The two gasped in shock.
"That's right my Mischievous Trouble Troopers, the real world! And once we get to the real world, all we have to do is find where those Earth brats live, and then I get rid of them once and for all! Then, Cyberspace, as well as Earth, will be ALL MINE! and nothing, and nobody, will be able to stop us!" Hacker exclaimed, laughing maniacally.
"Woah Boss, this all sounds very complicated! Are you sure you'd thought this through?" Delete asked.
"Yeah! What if something goes wrong? Like those Earth kids finding out what we're doing?" Buzz worried.
"Trust me, I know exactly what I'm doing! And even if those Earth kids do figure out my plan, by then they'll be too late!" Hacker reassured them. "Now, all I need is some portal dust..."
"Ummmm... Hey Boss, by any chance was that large jar of sparkly stuff in the storage closet portal dust?" Delete suddenly asked, sounding nervous.
"Yeah...?" Hacker slowly replied, as he found his question strange. "Why, what did you do?" He yelled, starting to get furious.
Delete nervously gulped before continuing. "Well you see, I thought that sparkly stuff was glitter. See, I was going to use it to make a sparkly picture of a bunny, but I accidentally knocked it over and spilled it all over the floor. I then had to sweep it up and throw it away." He explained sheepishly.
Once Delete had finished, Hacker's face started to turn red with anger. He then grabbed the sensitive robot by his shoulders and picked him up towards his eye level. Delete shook with fear as he stared directly at his furious gaze.
"Y-Y-YOU DUNCEBUCKET!!!! I NEEDED THAT SO I COULD GO TO THE REAL WORLD AND GET RID OF THOSE EARTH BRATS AND FINALLY TAKE OVER CYBERSPACE!!!! MY PLAN IS NOW RUINED BECAUSE OF YOU!!! WHY CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT??!!!!" Hacker shouted furiously at him. He was shouting so loud, he could nearly be heard from all over the Northern Frontier.
Once Hacker finished his rant, he then placed the now tear-filled-eyed Delete back on the ground. He continued to silently sob while tears continued to fall down his cheeks. Hacker however didn't seem to care, nor was too heartbroken from Delete's sadness.
"Well thanks to Delete here, looks like we'll have to try to find some portal dust from somewhere else!" Hacker said angrily.
"But how are you going to do that? Portal dust is very hard to find! No one knows where it comes from or how it's made!" Buzz pointed out.
"Well Actually…, I think I know someone who may have some." Hacker spoke quietly after a short silence, seemingly like he was hesitant to speak about it.
"Really, who?" Delete asked while trying to dry the tears from his eyes.
"Ledge." Hacker paused, before speaking in a quiet, bitter-filled tone. "Come on! To Ledge's hideout!" He shouted while grabbing them by their arms and pulled them towards the ship's control room.
