berchase - we're moving we're beating Hacker at his game.

Don't tell me that he's trying to hack the Motherboard we'll get him every time.

Freaky places that we've seen.

We've got the power of one, two, three, four!

Running in the Cyberchase We meet him face to face We'll stick together all the time Adventures in cyberspace The chase is on!

C-y-b-e-r-chase!

Oooh, what have we here?

!

"The new Power For-Ever Recharger Chair will keep even the crankiest borg charged all day."

"Never go without energy again!"

Buzz!

Delete!

My energy problem is solved!

With unlimited power, those earth brats will never stop me!

What is it, boss?

What'd you read?

The brand "new Power For-Ever" Recharger Chair!

For the low, low price of only five thousand snelfus!

Isn't that...a lotta snelfus?

Yes.

It is a little pricey.

But I want it!

I need it!

Set up a meeting with my financial advisor -Barton J. Moneyborg!

Surveillance devices, ten thousand snelfus... ...excavation equipment, seven hundred snelfus... computer viruses, four thousand snelfus.. implements of destruction-- Ugh!

Face it, Hacker, you've squandered too many snelfus on too many failed schemes.

Listen, Moneyborg, conquering cyberspace isn't cheap!

How much money do I have left?

Taking into account all outstanding expenses, you have exactly... thirty- five snelfus!

Here's my bill!

Thirty-five snelfus?

Good financial advice isn't cheap.

You mean, I'm-- Broke!

Busted!

You're in the poorhouse, Hacker!

I don't care what house I'm in, Moneyborg - I want the Power For-Ever Recharger Chair!

Advise me how to get the money to buy it!

Um...um Ice skates!

Yeah...ice skates!

Ice skates?

Yes, ice skates.

That gives me an idea.

Dateline, Penguia.

The hockey world is riveted with the upcoming game for the prestigious Penguia Cup featuring the plucky Penguin Village Voyagers and the undefeated Tundra Town Titans.

The Voyagers are having a, um, difficult season.

In fact, they're last in the league in wins... And first in defeats.

Ouch!

Twenty years ago, PJ Penguin scored the winning goal in the Cup's most famous match.

Tomorrow... ...his son, Fluff, will lace up the very same skates in his first-ever game against the Titans!

Are they supposed to be this bad?

Uh...no.

But I hear this rivalry is legendary.

That's why Motherboard asked me to write about it for Cybersports Illustrated.

I hope Fluff does okay.

He's so pumped up about playing for his dad's old team!

At least I'll get some good pictures!

Hey, Matty, say CyberSquad.

Team meeting -- locker room - NOW!

If you ask me, it's gonna take more than talk to get this team to play better!

Watch this!

He shoots... he scores!

CYBERBLADES!

The skates of the future for today!

Be cool!

Be the top scorer on your team!

CYBERBLADES!

Guaranteed to make you skate twice as fast - or your money back!

Rule the rink... with CYBERBLADES!

What do you think, guys?

Those skates look pretty cool, huh?

Yeah!

Did you see how fast you can go?

I want a pair!

I bet we could play a lot better if we had those skates.

I say we all buy 'em!

All in favor say 'aye'!

AYE!

Guys!

Wait a second!

Tomorrow is the big game!

Instead of rushing off to buy new skates because they look good in a commercial... shouldn't we be practicing?

Fluff's right.

The big game is tomorrow... and that's why we have to buy those skates...now!

Cyberblades!

Cyberblades!

Maybe Cyberblades would help the Voyagers play better... Just because they look good in the commercial doesn't mean they'll make you a great skater.

The commercial says they will.

Yeah, but that's what it's supposed to do - say things that make you want to buy the product!

Well, part of the commercial has to be true ...doesn't it?

Check it out, Fluff.

"Rule the Rink!"

That's what we wanna do, right?

Rule the rink - beat the Titans!

You really believe all that stuff about Cyberblades, Bernie?

Yeah, I do!

See what the ad says?

You can skate twice as fast - and be really cool, too.

You do wanna beat the Titans, don't you?

Well, yeah... but I think I can do that in my Dad's skates.

After all he wore 'em when he played the Titans - and scored the winning goal.

That was your Dad - not you!

Oh, sorry.

C'mon, Fluff, just do it for the team.

Everyone else is getting them.

Sorry, Bern...

I'm gonna stick with my skates.

Suit yourself, Fluff!

I'm buyin' 'em!

You've sold out?

Already?

That's amazing!

I mean...we'll get you more!

My assembly team is working at full capacity!

More skates!

We're workin' on 'em, boss.

Hold the skate right there, Deedee.

YEOOOOWWWWWWW!

Owwwwwww!

Sorry.

I knew they'd go for it!

These skates are selling like hotcakes.

It's the day of the big game, and the Voyagers are practicing their shots, using the old "angle in equals angle out" rule.

All but one of the team has traded in their old skates for the cool new Cyberblades.

As I watch them practice, they look like a more confident team.

Hey, Captain.

How do you feel about the big game today?

With these new skates - there's no way we can lose!

Like the commercial says, we're gonna "Rule the Rink"!

You shoulda bought the new skates like the rest of us, Fluff.

The whole team's talkin' about you.

They are?

Uh-huh.

They say you're not being a team player.

Do you feel that way, too?

Fluff, I'm your best friend, so I'm gonna give it to ya straight: You need to get the new skates.

C'mon, you'll go twice as fast!

But I don't need new skates to go faster.

I'll show you!

Whoooaaaa!

Ooops.

You do know the game starts in just a few hours, right?

I know, Ice.

I just lost my balance.

If you'd been wearing the new skates, you wouldn't have fallen.

But...

I just tripped!

What if you trip like that in the game?

Fluff, you gotta get the Cyberblades or you're not playing!

But I...I...oh, forget it!

I'm going home.

Ah, poor Fluff.

C'mon, Inez.

I've got an idea to help him.

We got a problem, Ice.

We're short a player without Fluff.

Don't worry, Bern, he'll cool down.

He'll see we're right... and come back wearing the Cyberblades.

Just wait.

With just a few hours till game time, the big question is: Will Fluff be back for the opening face-off...or not?
