In the outer regions of Cyberspace, on the Northern Frontier, inside the ship known as the Grim Weaker, The Hacker was hard at work devising his latest scheme to take over Cyberspace and defeat Motherboard and the Cybersquad, who had always thwarted his plans. Surrounded by mountains of discarded paper, Hacker sat at his desk, consumed by his thoughts.

Hacker's not-so-bright henchmen, Buzz and Delete, were drawn to the sounds of shouting and the tearing of paper. Curiosity got the better of them, and they cautiously approached the partially open door to their boss's lab.

Buzz clumsily attempted to climb on Delete's shoulders for a better look, but their balance failed them, causing them to crash to the floor. The door swung open, catching Hacker's attention. He turned around, his expression filled with annoyance.

'For the umpteenth time, can't you two Dim-witted Duncebuckets see that I'm busy?" Hacker shouted in frustration.

"S-sorry, Boss, we heard you yelling and wanted to see what was wrong," Buzz nervously replied, while Delete nodded in agreement.

Hacker let out a sigh. "If you must know, I'm trying to come up with a plan to get rid of Motherboard and those meddling kids once and for all!"

"How are you planning to do that, Boss? Didn't those Earth kids find a cure for Motherboard's virus?" Buzz asked.

"Yeah, and didn't they add a safeguard on it so she couldn't be threatened by viruses anymore?" Delete chimed in.

"That may be true, but I won't let that stop me. If I can find a way to bypass the mechanisms and reach the encryptor chip, I can weaken Motherboard again. Then she'll be easier to dispose of, and I'll only have to deal with those Earth brats." Hacker explained.

"But what if the Earth kids stop you like always?" Delete voiced his concern, genuinely worried about their chances of success.

Hacker paused, contemplating his valid point. The Cybersquad had always found ways to thwart his plans, and even if he managed to destroy the encryptor chip again, they would likely find a way to rebuild it.

"Will you Tin Heads get out of here? I need to think, and your presence is distracting me!" Hacker shouted, his voice suddenly dripping with hostility. The henchmen, startled, quickly obeyed, leaving the room in a huff.

Hacker turned back to his desk, trying to regain his focus. However, thoughts of the Earth kids consumed his mind. They had been his constant source of anguish for years. If only he could get rid of them, he could have taken over Cyberspace long ago.

With a frustrated sigh, Hacker picked up another sheet of paper, attempting to gather his thoughts. "If only…"

….

Meanwhile, in the city on Earth, WordGirl (a.k.a. Becky Botsford) and her loyal monkey sidekick Captain HuggyFace had just thwarted Dr. Two-Brains' latest cheese-related scheme. The battle ended swiftly, thanks to one of Two-Brains' henchmen accidentally pressing the wrong button and causing his contraption to collapse.

"Gee, I'm sorry, boss, how was I supposed to know that was the wrong button?" One of Two-Brains' henchmen kept apologizing, while the other remained silent.

"What do you mean you didn't know about... I told you two repeatedly that the button you were SUPPOSED to press was the big red one!" Dr. Two-Brains argued as he was being apprehended.

"Thanks again, WordGirl!" one of the police officers exclaimed, expressing their gratitude. WordGirl smiled and nodded, before she and her monkey sidekick turned and flew away from the scene.

Zach Varmitech, the CEO of Varmitech Industries, watched from his nearby office building. Frustration evident on his face, he muttered to himself, "There goes WordGirl again! I'm so happy to know we can always count on her to save the day! Ugh! She's so annoying, even more annoying than those Wild Rats!"

An idea suddenly struck him, and he turned to his nearby Zachbots, ordering them to approach. "Zachbots, go down there and retrieve Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen from that squad car. AND STEP ON IT!" he commanded, a devious grin plastered on his face.

The Zachbots saluted and flew out of the window, quickly catching up to the squad car. One robot halted the vehicle while the other opened the rear door and pulled out the villains. They turned to leave, not before stomping on the vehicle, flattening it entirely, leaving the officers bewildered.

"Hey! What's the big idea?" Dr. Two-Brains shouted as one of Zach's robots uncuffed him. He stared angrily at Zach, who had a devious grin on his face. Zach faced a large monitor. After manipulating the keyboard, three more screens appeared on the monitor, displaying Gaston Gourmand, Donita Donata and her henchman Dabio, and Paisley Paver, who all seemed less than thrilled to be interrupted.

"What is it, Zach? Can't you see we're busy?" Paisley complained.

"Yeah! Such as being in the middle of creating exquisite cuisines!" Gourmand chimed in, emphasizing his frustration.

"Sorry for disturbing you all, but Dr. Two-Brains and I have an idea that will not only get rid of those pesky Wild Rats but also WordGirl herself!" Zach exclaimed, his grin widening.

"We do?" Dr. Two-Brains asked, confusion evident on his face as he struggled to understand Zach's plan.

"Just hear me out! If we can get all the villains in the city to work together with us, we'll be unstoppable!" Zach explained, his voice filled with determination.

Dr. Two-Brains voiced his doubts, recalling past failed attempts at collaboration among villains. Gourmand agreed, highlighting their poor track record of working together.

"Look Zach, while I do appreciate your enthusiasm, what makes you think anything will be different this time?" Dr. Two-Brains sighed.

"But this time will be different," Zach assured them confidently. "If we all join forces, they won't stand a chance against us. Together, we can eliminate them and claim victory!"

Dr. Two-Brains remained skeptical. "I'm not sure if this will work. The others might not be willing to cooperate, and even if they do, there's no guarantee of success."

Zach grinned slyly. "Leave that to me. I have a plan to convince them. Trust me, once we unite, nothing can stop us!"

"We'll just see about that," Dr. Two-Brains muttered, crossing his arms and squinting his eyes in disbelief. "I just hope you know what you're doing, Zach." He sighed, concern etched on his face.

….

"At last! I've got it!" Hacker exclaimed, jumping up from his chair. Buzz and Delete rushed into the room, curious about the sudden change in their boss's demeanor. Hacker ran over and embraced them, sharing his excitement.

"Boss, what happened? You seem so happy!" Buzz asked, struggling for air as Hacker squeezed him tightly.

"I'm doing fine, boys!" Hacker said, letting go of them and stepping back. "I've figured out how to get rid of those Earth brats once and for all!"

"How?" Delete asked, scratching his head in confusion.

"Well, we know they enter Cyberspace through a portal from the real world, right?" Hacker asked, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"Yeah?" the two replied, still not entirely sure where he was going with this.

"Wait, Boss, is this going to be like the time during Halloween when we were in R-Fair City, and you trapped the Earth kids in Cyberspace by crashing Motherboard's portal system with that portal freezing ray thingy?" Delete asked, recalling the past events.

"Not exactly," Hacker replied, his voice growing serious. "No, what I'm going to do is create a device that, once finished, will allow us to create a portal to... the Real World!" He paused for dramatic effect.

"The Real World?!" The two gasped in shock.

"That's right, my Marvelous Trouble Troopers, the Real World! And once we're there, we can find those Earth brats and eliminate them. Cyberspace will be all mine, and nobody will be able to stop us!" Hacker declared triumphantly.

"Wow, Boss, that sounds complicated. Are you sure it'll work?" Delete asked, his brows furrowing with concern.

Hacker's confidence wavered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing. Even if they discover our plan, it will be too late for them to stop us. Now, all we need is portal dust, and..."

Delete interrupted hesitantly, "Um, Boss, by any chance was that large jar of sparkly stuff in the storage closet portal dust?"

Hacker's expression darkened as he quickly realized what he was implying. "You spilled it, didn't you?"

Delete nodded sheepishly. "I... I thought it was just glitter, Boss. I was going to use it to make a sparkly picture of a bunny, but I accidentally knocked it over and swept it up. I didn't know it was portal dust."

Hacker's face turned red with anger. He grabbed Delete by the shoulders and lifted him up to eye level, his voice seething with fury. "You... YOU DUNCEBUCKET!!!! I NEEDED THAT PORTAL DUST TO GO TO THE REAL WORLD AND GET RID OF THOSE EARTH BRATS! YOU'VE RUINED MY PLAN! WHY CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT?" He shouted loudly.

Delete's tears welled up, his voice trembling as he choked out an apology. "I... I'm sorry, Boss. I didn't mean to mess up. Please forgive me."

Hacker roughly placed Delete back on the ground, his anger still smoldering. "Find another way to get portal dust, and quickly! We can't let this setback hinder us," He ordered, trying to regain his composure.

"But how are we going to do that?" Buzz interjected. "Portal dust is hard to find, and no one knows how it's made!"

Hacker's frustration returned momentarily, but then a reluctant determination filled his voice. "Well, actually, I might know someone who could help," He said softly, as if the words pained him.

"Who is it?" Delete asked, attempting to wipe away the tears streaming down his face.

"Ledge," Hacker sighed, his bitterness apparent. He hesitated for a moment before urging them, "Let's go." Hacker grasped their arms and swiftly led them toward the ship's control room.
