Hacker traps the CyberSquad with their tiny friends the Scritters.
Digit disappears while visiting his friends the Scritters, so Motherboard sends Matt, Jackie and Inez to investigate. They discover that Hacker has found a supply of Magnetite, and will use it to fill up a rocket capable of erasing all of Motherboard's memory disks.

(GROUND SHAKES AND RUMBLES) HUH?
WHAT'S THAT?
(VIOLENT RUMBLING) ROXY?
IRV?
SHELDON?
WHERE ARE THOSE SCRITTERS?
HEY, IT'S NOT EVERY DAY I HAVE A DAY OFF TO PLAY, YOU KNOW?
(LOUD RUMBLE) WHOA!
EARTHQUAKE!
(VIOLENT RUMBLING) YIKES!
(SLAM) DELETE: MORE GLOWY ROCKS, BUZZY!
(THUMP) BUZZ AND DELETE: DIGIT!
DIGIT: LEMME GO, YOU TWO TINHEADS!
YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE MESSIN' WITH?!
LEMME GO!
YOU JUST WAIT!
GET YOUR METAL PAWS OFF OF ME!
ROXY AND SCRITTERS: DIGIT!
HEY, DIDGE!
DIDGET: HEY, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOIN' HERE?
ROXY: WE GOT SUCKED UP WITH THE ROCKS AND THEY WON'T LET US GO!
DELETE: CAN'T.
BOSS'S ORDERS.
(PRISON DOOR WHIRS OPEN) (THUMP) (SLAM) COME ON, DEEDEE, LET'S GET THOSE ROCKS TO THE BOSS AND TELL HIM THE NERD-BIRD'S HERE!
HEY!
THERE'S A SCRITTER ON YOUR SHOULDER!
I KNOW.
AND I'M GONNA LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIM AND CALL HIM GEORGE!
SHELDON: THE NAME'S SHELDON!
(EVIL CHUCKLE) YES!
MORE MAGNETITE!
(ROCKS CLATTER) (MACHINE BEEPS) (LASERS ZING) (WHOOSH OF MAGNETITE) THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE GLOW BUSINESS!
(GIDDY LAUGH) WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL WITH THIS GLOWY STUFF ANYWAY, BOSS?
HACKER: THIS "STUFF", AS YOU CALL IT, IS THE KEY TO SHUTTING DOWN MOTHERBOARD AND RULING CYBERSPACE FOREVER!
I FIRST BECAME AWARE OF MAGNETITE WHEN I WORKED FOR MOTHERBOARD.
(HORRIFIED GASPS) (WHIR OF FALLING ROCK) GOLLY GEE!
THAT METEOR IS COMING STRAIGHT FOR US!
MOTHERBOARD: THAT METEOR IS MADE OF MAGNETITE!
IF IT COLLIDES WITH US IT WILL ERASE ALL OF MY MEMORY DISKS!
REALLY?
I'LL NEVER LET THAT HAPPEN, MOTHERBOARD!
(BEEP) (BOOM) MOTHERBOARD: THANK YOU, HACKER.
I'M PROUD OF YOU.
YOU'RE SUCH A BIG HELP TO ME.
THANKS, MOTHERBOARD!
BACK TO WORK NOW.
MORE INVENTIONS TO INVENT, MORE GOOD DEEDS TO DO.
(TEETH PING) I SHOULD HAVE LET THAT METEORITE TAKE CARE OF MOTHERBOARD BACK THEN!
BUT FATE HAS GIVEN ME ANOTHER CHANCE!
(WHOOSH OF MAGNETITE) 45% FULL OF MAGNETITE!
ALMOST HALF!
ONCE IT REACHES 100% I WILL LAUNCH THIS REMARKABLE ROCKET AT MOTHERBOARD AND ERASE HER MEMORY DISKS FOREVER!
(EVIL LAUGH) UM, BOSS?
YOU GOT SPOTS ON YOUR FACE.
I DO?
I DO!
IT'S YOUR FAULT!
YOU ROBOTIC RAGAMUFFINS!
I TOLD YOU THOSE SCRITTERS MAKE ME ITCH!
GET IT OUT OF HERE!
NOW!
MOVE IT!
I NEED MORE MAGNETITE!
BUZZ: BY THE WAY, WE CAUGHT DIGIT!
THAT SUPERCILIOUS CYBER-TURKEY IS HERE?
NOT TO WORRY, BOSS, WE GOT 'EM CAGED UP.
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU IF DIGIT IS HERE, THOSE ANALYTICAL ADOLESCENTS CAN'T BE FAR BEHIND?
I'LL HANDLE IT.
(WHIR OF DOOR) (SLAM) (BEEPING) JACKIE: ACCORDING TO MOTHER B, THIS IS THE LAST PLACE SHE HAD ANY CONTACT WITH DIGIT.
MATT: HEY!
CHECK OUT THIS ROCK.
IT'S GLOWING!
(TAPS FOOT ON DOOR) INEZ: A DOOR!
IT WON'T BUDGE!
KEEP TRYING!
MAYBE DIDGE IS DOWN THERE!
(THUMP) JACKIE: HEY, WHAT IS THAT?
(MACHINE BEEPS) MOTHER B!
WE FOUND A DOOR IN THE GROUND BUT IT'S LOCKED!
WE NEED TO GET IT OPEN!
USE POWER CRYSTALS!
MOST ORANGE IS MOST POWER.
FIND ONE WITH THE MOST ORANGE!
WHERE DO WE FIND THEM?
ROCKY TOWER, INSIDE BASKETBALL GEODE.
(STATIC CRACKLES) WHAT'S A GEODE?
A NODULE OF STONE HAVING A CAVITY LINED WITH CRYSTALS OR MINERALS.
HEY, YOU ASKED.
MATT: OKAY, CAN'T BE THAT MANY BASKETBALL-SIZED HOLLOW ROCKS AROUND HERE.
LOOK FOR A ROCKY TOWER.
C'MON!
JACKIE: THERE IT IS!
THAT'S THE GEODE!
INEZ: BUT IT'S SO HIGH UP!
MATT: LEAVE IT TO THE MATTSTER!
JACKIE: CAREFUL!
MATT: (GROANS WITH EFFORT) (CRASH) JACKIE: THE POWER CRYSTALS!
INEZ: MOTHERBOARD SAID, "THE ONE WITH THE MOST ORANGE HAS THE MOST POWER."
REMEMBER?
WE HAVE TO FIND THE ONE WITH THE MOST ORANGE.
JACKIE: SO WHICH ONE IS THAT?
MATT: HMMM, THESE SEEM TO HAVE A LOT.
THIS ONE HAS 4 ORANGE STRIPES OUT OF A TOTAL OF 10.
INEZ: HEY!
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FRACTION.
IT MIGHT BE A CLUE.
4 OVER 10.
AND THIS ONE HAS 7 OUT OF 10.
THAT'S WAY MORE THAN 4 OUT OF 10.
AHA!
THIS ONE ONLY HAS 4 ORANGE STRIPES OUT OF 5.
I'D SAY 7 OUT OF 10 IS THE MOST.
LET'S USE THIS ONE!
JACKIE: HOLD ON!
WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
WE DIDN'T COMPARE MY FRACTION.
BUT HOW CAN WE DO THAT?
4 OUT OF 10 AND 7 OUT OF 10 ARE EASY TO COMPARE BECAUSE THEY EACH HAVE 10 EQUAL PARTS.
BUT FOUR FIFTHS IS ANOTHER KIND OF FRACTION.
WELL, WHAT IF WE DIVIDED EACH OF MY 5 STRIPES IN HALF?
THEN WE'D HAVE 10 STRIPES LIKE THE OTHERS RIGHT?
OKAY, BUT HOW MANY WOULD BE ORANGE?
LET'S DO IT AND FIND OUT!
LOOKS LIKE 8 STRIPES ARE ORANGE NOW.
SO 4 OUT OF 5 IS THE SAME AMOUNT AS 8 OUT OF 10!
COOL!
WE CAN WRITE 4 OUT OF 5 AS 8 OUT OF 10!
AND 8 OUT OF 10 IS DEFINITELY MORE THAN 7 OUT OF 10!
MATT: BIGGER FRACTION, MORE ORANGE, MORE POWER!
THIS ONE SHOULD OPEN THE DOOR.
INEZ AND JACKIE: WAIT!
(MACHINE BEEPS) KIDS: (SHOUT LOUDLY)
