Just look at him, Buzzy.

He's a disaster.

You're right, Deedee.

I've never seen the boss so depressed.

I can't think of any new ideas to defeat Motherboard.

Even if I could, her earth brats would just ruin them.

Maybe I should just give up.

Special delivery for The Hacker!

"TO THE HACKER, FROM YOUR BIGGEST FAN."

I know how to make chaos.

Turn on your TV for proof."

I'm Erica Ram with late-breaking news from Sensible Flats!

Everyone there has been Hackerized!

They all look like me!

They all act like me!

You duncebucket!

Get out of my way!

Haw!

Haw!

Haw!

Haw!

They even talk like me!

Someone has strategically placed a mysterious mechanism on the top of Climber's Rock -- and it's causing everyone to turn into Hacker!

All attempts to shut it off have failed!

What a plan!

What a genius!

I must find my fantastic fan!

Motherboard was right!

Sensible Flats has become the land of mean and green.

There's Sheriff Judy and Judge Trudy - I'll find out what's goin' on!

A Hacker version of me!

What could be better?

A Hacker of me!

That's what!

Careful, Didge... they've been Hackerized!

Not everyone's been Hackerized!

It must be safe in there.

Come on!

Man, I'm glad you guys made it.

You must be those earth kids I've heard about.

I'm Ledge.

How come you're not Hackerized like everyone else?

I was in here when it all started.

The green haze can't get inside.

Outside, you only have three minutes till you turn into Hacker.

I timed it.

Three minutes?

Ohmigosh!

Didge!

In here!

Come inside!

Didge!

Hurry, Didge!

Before you turn into... Oh, no!

He's been Hackerized!

Who's a mean green machine now?

This is not good - this is not good at all.

Okay, which one of you came up with that genius plan to Hackerize Sensible Flats?

Which one of you is shrewder, more clever than I ever thought possible?

...Trash!

Is it you?

Impossible!

Your head's full of garbage, not ideas.

Tonga?

Olga?

Is it you?

No, not in a billion cyber-years!

...That leaves you, Baskerville!

Baskerville?

As always, my liege, I'm at your service.

So it is you!

I should have known.

My own genius...

Welcome to my world!

And what a wonderful world it will be when we Hackerize all of cyberspace!

Would you like something to eat?

Poor Didge.

What are we going to do?

We have to unplug that Hackerizing machine!

And it has to be done by nightfall - or the Hackerization is permanent!

But the machine is all the way up there!

How are we supposed to get to it?

Climb.

It's the only way.

But we'd have to do it in three minutes - or get turned into Hacker!

I can do it.

I've rock-climbed before.

It's been a while, though.

You do a practice run on this - see how fast you go.

It looks just like the real Climber's Rock.

Close.

Except it's only one-third the height.

That means I need to climb it in one third the time it takes to climb the real one.

One-third of three minutes is one minute.

That's sixty seconds Matt.

Think it's doable?

Ask me in sixty seconds.

I'll time you.

...Ready!

...Go!

Go, Matt...go!

...How fast?

Sixty-seven seconds!

Seven seconds too slow, Matt.

I know I can do this, guys.

I'll be faster on the real Rock.

You'll see.

Maybe...but why don't you make another practice run.

See if you can do better.

There's no time, Inez.

I know I can do it!

Don't worry.

Matt, wait!

You think he can make up seven seconds?

Sure.

Seven seconds is nothing.

Omigosh!

We forgot - the real Rock is three times higher than the practice wall!

So if Matt's seven seconds off in here - he'll be three times seven - or twentyone seconds off out there!

MAAAAAAT!

Fifty eight seconds so far!

He'll never make it in time!

I'm gonna make...I'm gonna make it...

I didn't make it!

I think I'll take over Cyberspace instead!

This is terrible - Matt's been Hackerized!

One of us has got to pull the plug on that machine before sunset!

But...

I've never rock climbed before.

Me neither.

I have...but I'm not very good.

That's why I come here to practice.

Maybe we should each take a run up the wall...see who can do it the fastest.

Good idea, Ledge.

I'll go first.

I'll time you.

I'll write down the times, on...uh... this old shopping list!

Hit the timer!

Faster, Jax!

What...what was my time?

Seventy-three seconds!

I'll go next - then Inez!

I'm the slowest, with seventy-four seconds.

Jackie, you did it in seventy-three.

And Ledge ...you're the fastest at seventy seconds.

I...I guess that means I'm the one who should scale Climber's Rock.

But you're still ten seconds too slow - that's thirty seconds up the real rock.

You'll never make it to the top in time!

Maybe if I keep practicing I'll get faster.

Yeah, more practice should work.

I'll be your coach and track your progress.

Cool!

Inez, will you be my training partner?

It sure would help.

Me?

I...I'm not good enough!

Sure you are.

And besides, we're talking about the future of Sensible Flats!

You're right - I'm in!

Partner!

Here's your room, Baskerville.

You sure are gettin' the royal treatment.

Why thank you, duncebuckets.

Hey, we're not your duncebuckets!

Yeah!

We're The Hacker's duncebuckets!

Indeed.

So, Baskerville...how's my genius?

My genius is at your command, sire.

Good!

Now tell me what supplies you need.

Supplies, sire?

What supplies?

Supplies to build Hackerizing Machines!

Of course!

Supplies!

I uh...I need... um...lots of green things.

You heard our genius.

Go get green things!

NOW!

How'd I do that time?

Better.

Here are your last three climbs.

The numbers are so jumbled - it's hard to tell which number shows Ledge's last practice time...or if we're getting clsoer to our goal.

Yeah, some organization would help... Hmmmm...organize the numbers so we can track if we're getting closer to our goal.

Ooh, I know!

What if we graph the times?

Cool!

That'll give us a picture of Ledge's progress.

Okay!

Let's measure 'climb time' in seconds going up this way... ...and 'practice number' across this way.

How many practices you think it'll take?

Ummm, let's try a dozen - twelve.

We can add more if we need to.

What about the 'climb time' scale?

Right.

Zero seconds would be here...

Since sixty seconds is our goal, let's start the times with sixty... ...and let's go up by fives to, um, seventy-five seconds.

Now enter Ledge's 'climb times' so far.

Each of these points represents the climb time for each practice.

The dashed line between the points shows your progress.

And as the line drops...

...I get closer to my goal!

Right!

Six seconds to go - let's keep practicing!

Observe, Matt-brat!

Trash everywhere - chaos at work!

What a magnificent sight!

Ah, yes!

Everyone is so busy thinking about themselves - no one cares about keeping Sensible Flats clean!

This is just the beginning!

Ledge!

You okay?

Bad news, Ledge, your time went up.

Look at the line.

Sixty-seven seconds.

I was afraid this might happen.

Why?

What's the matter?

I'm wiped out.

I forgot to drink my prickly pear juice today.

Prickly pear juice?

Yeah, it gives me energy.

I'll run across to the General Store and get some.

NO!

What if you don't make it back before you get Hackerized?

It's too risky!

We need you to unplug that machine!

But I really need it!

OK- I'll go!

I'm the coach - it's my job!

But Jax-- Believe me, I'll run fast.

The last thing I want is to turn green and mean!

Matt!

Digit!

Where are you headed, you impudent imp?

Ma-att!

It's me...Jackie!

Of course...Jackie.

The klutzy earthbrat!

Now listen to me, Digit.

I am not klutzy!

And stop trying to act like Hacker!

Act?

We are Hacker!

That's it...

I'm going back inside.

Not so fast, little lady.

Hurry, Jax!

It's almost been three minutes!

I'll unlock the door.

Open up!

Let me in!

What's wrong?

The lock's jammed!

Jackie!

No, no, NO!

I love my new hair style!

I never should have let her go!

Don't sweat it, Inez.

If this hadn't worked, I would have found another way.

Hunh?

What are u talking about?

You're our only hope!

Don't give up!

I'm not giving up.

In fact, I've already accomplished my goal: to help The Hacker... and stop you!

Whaaat?

That machine up there ...I invented it!

You invented it?

You bet I did.

I wanted to show The Hacker that I could get rid of the CyberSquad.

I created chaos so you earth-brats would swoop in to save the day.

And you did, just as I planned!

Now everyone but little ole you has been Hackerized!

You haven't won yet, Ledge!

I can still climb that rock and shut down your machine.

Oh, really?

You think you can reach the top in three minutes?

I watched you climb - you don't stand a chance!

Now!

With this to protect me from my own invention, I'm going to claim my place next to The Hacker.

See ya, Nezzie!

Don't call me Nezzie!

I can't believe I trusted that rat!

Now I'm the only one left to pull the plug on Climber's Rock.

OOh, but Ledge is right, I'll never make it in time!

What am I going to do?

I can't let my friends stay Hackerized.

But if I go outside and try climbing-- ...Hello?

Is someone here?

Eek!

Deke!

...Inez?

I remember you!

What are you doing here?

It's a long story, but I have to climb up Climber's Rock in less than three minutes to keep everyone in Sensible Flats from becoming Hackerized forever!

Whoa, hang onto yer hikin' boots, little lady.

That's a real mouthful.

Tumblin' tumbleweeds!

I see what you mean.

We sure don't want all those Hackers runnin' around here.

To climb that rock in time, I need to get to the top of this wall in sixty seconds - but my fastest time so far is seventy four seconds.

Back in the day, I did my fair share of climbin'.

Scurry on up there and show me what cha got.

I just might have a tip or two to help you go faster.

Oh thank you, Deke!

OK, I'm ready.

Give me a 'C'.

CEEEEE...!

Give me an 'H'.

AAAAAAACH...!

Give me an 'A-O-S'!

AAAAA-OHHHHHH-ESSSSS!

What's it spell?

CHA-OS!

YAYYYYYYY!

How come your machine looks mothing like the one on TV?

Yeah, and it's way smaller, too.

Because I'm not finished, that's why!

I'm still creating!

Now go away or I'll tell master!

He'll tell master?

Hmph.

We should tell master!

You're right.

I say Baskerville's a fake!

You've gotten better, Inez...

But yer stuck on seventy seconds.

What am I going to do, Deke?

I can't seem to go any faster.

Watch.

Instead of huggin' the rock like this... ...stay upright.

Let your legs do the work.

Use yer hands for balance.

I'll try.

Sixty-six seconds!

Yahoo, Inez!

You made the line on this here graph take a nosedive!

Wow!

I improved by four whole seconds!

Got any more tips?

I reckon I do.

Let's get to workin'!

Move like a spider!

One limb at a time.

Plan ahead!

Climb with your eyes!

Uh-oh.

This can't be right.

Stay upright.

Feet below your hands!

Take small steps.

Keep 'em small!

...Fifty-nine seconds!

I beat the goal!

I did it!

Yup.

And the story of "how" is right here on the graph.

See?

It shows yer change over time.

Here, you started to move like a spider.

And here's "planning ahead".

This is where I learned to keep my feet below my hands.

And here, to take small steps.

Yep, yer ready for the big climb, sweeetheart.

Thanks, Deke.

I think I can do it.

What is this thing?

Where are my Hackerizing Machines?

Boss...excuse me, but we don't think Baskerville-- Don't bother me now!

But, Boss, Baskerville is a-- FRAUD!

Who are you?

I'm Ledge, the one who sent you the letter - and Hackerized Sensible Flats.

Hunh?

I thought that was Baskerville.

Uh...ahh... That's what we were trying to tell you.

Yeah!

Baskerville's a phony!

I must take my leave, my liege!

I'm the real deal, Hacker.

I did this!

Brilliant!

I like your style, Ledge.

With the Cybersquad Hackerized, I can...

Breaking news, folks!

Inez is attempting to scale Climber's Rock!

Can she do it in three minutes?

The countdown has begun.

Whaaat?

I thought they were all Hackerized!

Don't worry - she won't make it!

Can the smallest member of the Cybersquad reach the machine in three minutes?

The fate of Sensible Flats is in her hands.

That's it, Inez.

Feet below hands, small steps...small steps... Why didn't you Hackerize her, too?

Because...because it was part of my plan.

Which part?

Yeah, um...the last part.

Less than a half minute left!

Ten seconds...nine-eight-seven... She'd better not reach it!

Three...two...one!

Let me understand something, Ledge.

That's The Ledge, to you!

After your missed opportunity you ...are going to help me conquer Motherboard?

I can explain!

I...I did this to show you how good the Cybersquad really is - so you won't underestimate them anymore.

That's why you always fail.

Fail?

Me...fail?

Buzz, Delete...show Ledge what happens when you fail!

You'll be sorry, Hacker!

You need me!

You're making a mistake!

You'll never defeat those kids without me!

Inez, you were awesome.

Thanks to Deke!

Aw, shucks, sweetheart!

You did all the climbin'.

Rats!

Foiled by the Cybersquad again!

Didge?

Are you still Hackerized?

No way - Ja-kay.

The Didge...is the Didge!

Stay right where you are!

It's Cyberchase For Real!

Sorry I can't share.

Hardly any left.

That's okay.

No more junk food for me.

Where are you going?

The gym.

I wanna get in better shape.

Me too.

What are you doing?

Stretching.

It's part of my plan to reach my goal.

Your goal?

By the end next week, I want to run a mile in ten minutes.

I did that in high school.

I can do that right now!

Show me.

On your mark, get set, go!

You'll never run a mile in ten minutes that way.

You'll never run a mile in ten minutes that way.

I'll practice some more after I take a breather.

It took me 15 minutes to go a mile!

When I started running two weeks ago, I did the same thing as Harley - trying to run as fast as possible.

But I couldn't keep up the pace.

It took me 30 minutes to go a mile.

Oh man, oh man...

The next day, I was really sore, and did worse!

It took me 35 minutes to go a mile.

But then a trainer gave me great advice.

To keep from getting sore, I should stretch and go on the treadmill every other day.

He said I should start out walking, and increase my pace slightly each time I got on the treadmill.

Then he suggested to keep track of my progress, I should use a graph, which can help me predict when I'll reach my goal.

Along the x axis is each session that I practiced.

T y axis shows how long it took to run one mile.

When I connect the points, the graph shows the trend of my progress.

I began the graph when I started following the trainer's advice.

In 6 sessions, I reduced my time from 25 minutes to 15 minutes!

Leaving already?

You call that working out?

Like I said, I have a plan.

Go ahead, run - I mean - walk along.

I'm getting back on the treadmill for a real workout.

It's not a good idea to do too much too fast.

You're giving me advice?

Ha!

I got help from a trainer.

A dog trainer?

Harry, give me a paw.

Harry, roll over.

I bet I'll run a ten-minute mile sooner than you will.

What does the winner win?

You'll have to do my laundry for a month.

You're on.

Hey Harley, here's my first load of laundry.

Ugh.

Aw, come on, Harley.

Don't be a sore loser!
