Chapter 4: In pursuit Of The UVO

'Dr. Marbles has thought of a plan to rescue Inez and Matt couldn't be happier. Will Matt and Jackie manage to obtain the UVO?'

The Strange Plane

Having entered Sam's castle, Inez has begun talking to him about how she ended up there as they walk through the main hall of the castle.

"So after we got the time machine's accelerator, my friends and I were headed back to control central when I was suddenly sucked through a black hole." Inez continues. "Before I knew it, I ended up here. I know somehow that Hacker is responsible for this because that never happened before. Me and my friends have traveled through that portal a million times before with no problems and since I got here, I've tried calling my friends, but haven't been able to reach anyone."

"That is very unfortunate to hear Inez." Sam replies with sympathy.

"It's ok." Inez says. "If Hacker is responsible, this really shouldn't be a surprise. After all, this is who he is. He will go to the lowest low if need be."

"I am so sorry that you have experienced such an unfortunate tragedy." Sam says. "You are welcome to stay with me for as long as you like until you are able to reach someone."

"No, I couldn't possibly." Inez protests. "I wouldn't want to impose on you like this. I just need to contact my friends, letting them know where I am so they can figure out a way to get me out of here."

"But you must stay Inez." Sam insists. "It wouldn't be imposing on me, trust me. "You have to be exhausted from dealing with Hacker. I can't just let you wonder around out there, especially since you have no idea where you are. So please, just stay just for a little while."

Seeing the sincere expression on the prince's face, Inez immediately changes her mind.

"I guess I could stay for just a little bit." Inez finally agrees. "There isn't any harm in that."

"Great!" Sam replies with happiness. "I'll show you to your room."

"My room?" Inez asks in confusion.

Sam doesn't answer, but continues down the hall ahead of Inez. Inez follows closely behind Sam to figure out what he is talking about. Sam now stops in front of a large maroon door with Inez stopping next to him.

"Here we are." Sam says. "This is your room."

Opening the door, Sam and Inez enter the room. Inez begins looking around the room, admiring how big it is and the color it is decorated with. The entire room is decorated very elegantly in royal purple. From the lushness of the carpet in front of the bed, to the bed sheets, pillows, and comforter on the queen sized bed, to the curtains that are covering the windows. The room is equipped with a vanity that is sitting in the left corner, a mini fridge that is sitting adjacent to the bed, a full body mirror that is sitting in the right corner of the room and a closet that is filled with elegant royal purple gowns. There is even a bathroom in her room that is decorated in royal purple, from the shower curtain to the sink accessories. Inez has never seen a room this beautiful before.

"Will this room do Inez?" Sam questions, noticing how amazed Inez appears to be with the room. "If not, there is another one down the hall that is much bigger."

"This room will do just fine." Inez answers, continuing to admire the room.

"Great." Sam says with a nod. "I'll be down the hall in the throne room if you need anything."

"Alright." Inez answers, continuing to look around the room.

Sam now leaves the room and closes the door behind him, leaving Inez to admire the room that she will be staying in. Having admired the room enough, Inez now takes a seat on the end of the bed and takes out her SKWAK pad, opening the SKWAK communication window.

"I hope I reach someone this time." Inez says as she tries to make contact with Matt once more.

Having stepped out of the room, Sam's sincere expression has turned into a devious one. Looking back at the door, a twisted grin finds its way onto Sam's face.

"I'm glad that you like the room Inez because you'll be staying here for a very long time." Sam chuckles to himself. "Everything is going according to plan just as Hacker wanted. He will be very pleased and if everything goes as well I think it will, once I become king of this land, I will have a queen to rule right beside me and I choose you Inez."

Sam now walks off and begins making his way down the hall to the throne room, continuing to chuckle to himself.

Penguia

Matt, Jackie and Digit now arrive at Penguia through the portal with Matt and Jackie wearing their winter gear.

"Digit, are you sure the UVO is here?" Jackie asks as she wraps her arms around herself to keep herself warm. "It is super cold here."

"I'm very sure." Digit answers. "The UVO is atop mount Amagazit. All we have to do is climb to the top of the mountain, get the UVO, and we're home free."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Matt says. "Let's go."

"Follow me earthlies." Digit instructs.

Matt and Jackie begin following Digit to Mount Amagazit, where the UVO is located. Now reaching the mountain, Digit opens his chest compartment and pulls out two belts with ropes attached to them. Handing them to Matt and Jackie, the two kids place them on. Digit, then, begins helping them two up the mountain.

"This mountain is pretty steep." Matt says, continuing to climb up the mountain. "How much further until we reach the top?"

"Not much further." Digit answers. "Having wings in situations like these always come in handy."

"Easy for you to say." Matt replies. "You're a bird."

"Well, it isn't long now." Digit says. "One more step ad we'll be at the top."

Sure enough, Digit was right. With the one more step, the three now reach the top of the mountain.

"That was some climb." Jackie comments. "Next time we come here, I'm bringing my hiking boots because these boots aren't made for climbing mountains."

"Well they don't call it the tallest mountain in Penguia for nothing." Digit replies.

"Ok, where is the UVO?" Matt asks. "The quicker we find it, the sooner we can find and rescue Inez."

"Do you mean this UVO?" A familiar and most hated voice says to the gang.

Already knowing who that voice belongs to, the gang turns around and spots Hacker, Buzz and Delete with Hacker holding the UVO, otherwise known as Amagazit's Amulet.

"Hacker!" Matt growls.

Yes, I do believe you need this to rescue your little friend." Hacker says, enjoying the boy's growing anger. "However, in order to do that, you're going to have to get passed me first!"

A/N: Ok end of chapter 4 and I hope you all liked it. I know its short, but that's all I could think of for this chapter. However, chapter 5 will be much longer and much better.
