Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit ducked behind the long lounging couch as the screen cracked and exploded.
Pieces of glass were flying everywhere.
The screen now had a huge hole in it and it was smoking a little bit.
Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit peeked up from behind the long lounging couch.
"Is everyone alright?" Matt asked, looking at Jackie and Inez as Digit propelled over to the screen and got out a fire extinguisher and started spraying the smoking spot on the screen.
"I'm okay. Jackie?" Inez immediately answered, now looking at Jackie.
Jackie shook her head, feeling a little bit woozy.
"I… I think so. Dij?" She said, trying to shake the wooziness off by shaking her head left and right, continuously.
Digit came down from the screen that had now stopped smoking.
"I'm fine, Earthlies." He said, now propelling next to them.
Inez then began to look around.
"Aren't we forgetting somebody?" She asked, worried.
Matt then began to feel the same way.
"Someone's missing…" He said as he was looking around as well.
Jackie then looked up and saw the huge hole in the screen.
She gasped.
"MOTHER B!" Jackie said, tears dripping down from her eyes.
Matt, Inez and Digit looked up at the broken screen and saw the huge hole in it.
"MOTHERBOARD!" They all said, concerned as Matt was now comforting Jackie.
"This is not good! This is not good at all!" Inez said, saying her signature catchphrase.
…..
Matt and Jackie were pacing, alongside Digit.
"How could this have happened?" Matt said, while pacing around and comforting Jackie.
Jackie sniffled.
"Let's stop and think. Mother B said that she was having a baby…" She said as she was thinking.
Matt, Inez and Digit were also thinking as well.
"What does she mean when she said that she was having a baby? She's a computer…A thinking computer that can't defend cyberspace on her own…" Inez said, while thinking.
Digit rubbed his right wing against his back, sheepishly.
"Well… Not exactly…" He said, looking at them.
Matt, Jackie and Inez looked at him.
"What do you mean, Dij?" Matt said, his eyebrow raised in question.
Just as Digit was about to say something, the door to the other room opened and out came Dr. Marbles.
"Cyber Squad!" Dr. Marbles said, happy to see Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit.
Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit looked at him.
"Dr. Marbles!" They said, together at the same time as Dr. Marbles gave them a hug.
Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit hugged him back.
"Glad that you're here, Cyber Squad. Motherboard has been trying to reach you guys for the past hour." Dr. Marbles said, in an explanation as all five of them now got out of the hug.
"We know." Inez said, with a smile.
"We got the message." Matt said as Jackie continued looking at the cracked screen.
Dr. Marbles looked in the direction that Jackie was looking.
He gasped.
"Something wrong, Doc?" Digit asked, concerned.
Dr. Marbles then smiled.
"It's time! It's finally time!" He said, excitedly.
Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit looked at Dr. Marbles, with confusion on each of their faces.
"What do you mean that it's time?" Matt asked, with his arms crossed.
"Time for what?" Inez asked, more confused than ever.
"You see… Motherboard has outgrown her screen, due to the condition that she's in, as you all are aware of." Dr. Marbles said, beginning to explain to them about Motherboard's situation.
"Where is she? Where's Mother B?" Jackie asked, with sternness in her voice as Dr. Marbles now began to look at Digit, hoping that he would calm down the situation.
"Earthlies, I'll take you to her. Dr. Marbles, would you do the honor of leading the way?" Digit said as he was propelling right beside Jackie, Inez and Matt.
Dr. Marbles smiled.
"It would be my pleasure." He said as he now began to lead the Cyber Squad to the door that he came out from behind.
…..
Dr. Marbles led Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit down a long hallway.
"So… Dr. Marbles, how was Motherboard able to have a baby?" Inez asked as they were walking down the hallway.
"Yeah. I want to know." Matt said, in agreement with Inez.
"As do I. It's intriguing…" Jackie said, still concerned about Motherboard as they were walking.
Dr. Marbles then began to look at Digit.
"It started after we cured Motherboard with the Encryptor Chip. Motherboard said that she had all the things that she needed for the first part, so she sent me to the computer chip factory. When I got there, the Rebooter Bees were already finished with the computer chip. I brought it back here to the Doc and when I got back with the chip, the Doc was already finished with the programming…" Digit said, in an explanation as he looked at Dr. Marbles to finish the explanation.
"I inserted the chip into the middle of Motherboard's port and she did the rest. She brought the program to life and soon, a baby digitally developed…" Dr. Marbles said, in an explanation as they now arrived at the door that had Motherboard's name on it.
Matt, Jackie and Inez smiled as they looked at Motherboard's door.
They were very excited to see her.
All of them were very intrigued by Dr. Marbles and Digit's explanation.
"So… If Motherboard outgrew her old screen, where is she now?" Inez asked, really intrigued by the new information that Digit and Dr. Marbles had just given them.
"That's the second part that you all are about to see… Digit, knock on the door. I'm sure she's in there." Dr. Marbles said, looking at Digit.
Digit smiled, using his right wing and he was now knocking on the door.
"Motherboard, it's the Earthlies, me and Doc. We're all here to see you." He said, looking up at the camera that was right next to the door.
Matt, Jackie and Inez looked up at the camera as well.
"Mother B, it's me Jackie. We're here for you." Jackie said, sympathetically.
"We'll help you out in any way that we can." Matt said, with a smile.
"That's right, Motherboard. We've been here for you ever since the first mission that you sent us on and we're still here for you now." Inez said, with a determined look on her face.
In the room, Motherboard, who was now in a machine, robot-like body smiled at the screen that had Matt, Jackie, Inez, Digit and Dr. Marbles on it.
"Cyber Squad, come on in…" Motherboard said, weakly as she pressed a button on the controls and the door then began to open.
Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit high fived each other.
"Alright!" They all said excitedly after they high fived.
