In A League Of Their Own
Starter A/N: Hello everyone, this is Alisi Thorndyke with a Cyberchase fic for you all to, hopefully, enjoy. This story takes place 3 years after Hacker's deletion and the normal couple pairings are as usual, Jackie/Slider and Matt/Inez. Like I said, the usual. Anyway, please don't flame me if this fic isn't what you guys are use to. After all, the motto of the site does say Unleash Your Imagination so that's what I'm doing. Also, I would like to thank author Scyphi for helping me out with this story. Thank tons. Now, with that said, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Cyberchase. If I did, well, it's already a television show, so I lose either way lol.
Summary: It's been three years since the down fall of Hacker and now a new threat arises that threatens to enslave all of cyberspace. And what does this new threat want with Jackie?
Chapter 1: It's a Wonderful Peace
It's a warm and sunny day on planet Earth in the month of May. The birds are singing and there isn't a cloud in the beautiful crystal blue sky. All of the citizens of the planet are enjoying the beautiful day, especially the three earth kids that helped bring peace to not only the planet, but also to all of Cyberspace and those kids are Matt, Inez and Jackie with the help of Digit and teen cyborg, Slider.
After the downfall of Hacker three years earlier, peace and stability has been restored to both worlds. With cyberspace safe from danger, Matt, Jackie, and Inez have gone on with their lives and have grown up along the way. Even though their services haven't been required for the past three years, the team still takes trips to cyberspace to escape the pressures of the real world and to visit Dr. Marbles, Motherboard and Digit when their school work isn't overwhelming, but all in all, with Hacker gone, the kids have been able to go on with their lives in peace.
With the kids having grown up, they have also changed in their own ways. Matt is now fourteen years old, has grown two feet and no longer wears his signature outfit. Instead he now wears a blue shirt, black pants, and white shoes. His still carries his red back pack full of gadgets with him. Matt may have changed, but his go-getter attitude is still the same.
Jackie has also changed and is also fourteen years old. Her hair has grown out a lot more, so her signature bun style is now her signature ponytail. Along with her hair style changing, Jackie also did a complete wardrobe change and has grown two feet. She now wears a pink tee shirt, a black pleaded mini skirt, and pink heeled shoes. Her personality hasn't changed a bit and she has made the school's cheerleading squad.
Inez hasn't changed much and is now twelve years old. She has grown one foot and three inches and still wears the same outfit, only in the size that fits her new preteen form. According to Inez 'This is what I'm most comfortable in.' Hey, no arguments there.
All four are in middle school, eighth grade to be exact and because Slider is a member of the cybersquad, Motherboard has arranged for Slider to attend school on earth with the other three kids. He has fit in quite well at school.
Currently, its lunch time and the team have decided to have lunch outside.
"Who else though that Mr. Mahoney's Algebra test was a drag?" Matt asks as the four takes a seat at the table. Matt sits next to Inez and Jackie sits next to Slider.
"Actually, I found the test quite easy." Inez answers. "There were a few questions that confused me, but I'm sure I did well despite those."
"I, for one, am glad it's over." Jackie adds in as she opens her juice. "It seems like I was studying forever for that test."
"I didn't really study for it, so I did what I always do, I winged the test." Slider says. "Math doesn't really interest me, unlike some things that catch my attention easily."
Upon finishing his sentence, Slider turns his attention to Jackie.
"If only something was taught that could hold my attention for longer than two minutes." Slider continues.
"Like what?" Jackie asks as she turns to Slider.
"The study of all things beautiful." Slider answers.
Slider winks at Jackie, which makes her blush. Inez can feel her face go red with mild jealousy.
"Well, I just hope I did better than I think." Matt speaks up, breaking the awkward silence. "I love math, but Mr. Mahoney might change that for me."
"I'm sure you did fine Matt." Inez assures him. "Mr. Mahoney may give hard tests, but he does grade on an excellent curve. So even if you do badly, you will still manage to get a good grade."
"I hope so." Matt says with worry.
"So how do you think you did Slider?" Inez questions to the cyborg.
"Just perfect." Slider answers, not taking his eyes off Jackie.
Inez rolls her eyes at Slider's response. She is growing increasingly tired of Slider flirting with Jackie on a daily basis.
"You know, it's been a few months since we've visited cyberspace last." Matt mentions as he looks up at the sky. "I wonder how everyone's doing, especially Motherboard. She doesn't have to worry about Hacker trying to disrupt the peace of cyberspace anymore."
"She, like Dr. Marbles and Digit, are enjoying the peace." Inez replies.
"You know, we should go pay them a visit this weekend." Jackie suggests as she turns to Matt and Inez. "It has been a long time since we've seen everyone."
"That's not a bad idea Jax." Inez agrees. "I say we do it. What do you say Matt?"
"I'm in." Matt answers as he brings his attention back to his friends. "You in Slider?"
Not hearing Matt's question to him, Slider continues staring at Jackie.
"Hey Slider." Matt says, trying to get the cyborg's attention. "Earth to Slider."
"Allow me." Jackie says as she turns to Slider. "Slider, are you coming with us to visit Cyberspace this weekend?"
"You bet I am." Slider answers Jackie.
"Then it's settled." Matt confirms. "We'll take a trip to Cyberspace this weekend. My aunt and uncle are coming to visit this weekend and they are bringing my annoying little cousins, so it will give me an excuse to not stick around for that."
"I wonder what's going on in Cyberspace right now, mainly control central." Jackie begins wondering.
"That's a good question Jax." Matt begins to wonder as well.
Cyberspace
As Matt and Jackie wonder about the goings on in Cyberspace, Inez's prediction about everyone enjoying the Hacker-free peace is correct. A lot of the cyber sites are still rebuilding the massive damage that Hacker caused while others have made Hacker an afterthought, especially those in Control Central.
At control central, Digit is walking around in the garden with Widget while Dr. Marbles continues working on Motherboard's controls. After Hacker's deletion, Dr. Marbles immediately began working on a cure for Motherboard's virus. One year later, he came up with a cure and Motherboard has been virus free for two years now. The benevolent ruler of Cyberspace is once again fully functional, no longer left weak with static in her programming. Her new firewall and antivirus program will make sure it stays that way.
"I haven't felt this good and alive in so long." Motherboard says, her voice overflowing with joy. "It feels great to be Hacker free."
"With Hacker gone for good, we all can say that." Dr. Marbles replies as he continues working on Motherboard's Network Interface Panel. "Although I have to admit, Hacker did bring some excitement to cyberspace. Especially when he lost to our very own cybersquad and swore he'd get revenge."
"I, for one, am very happy he is gone." Motherboards states, her circuits still streaming with joy. "Cyberspace no longer has to live in fear, but in complete harmony, knowing that Hacker is no longer a threat."
"I have to agree with you there." Dr. Marbles agrees.
Continuing to work on the Network Interface Panel, a wire sparks, giving the doc a bit of a shock. (Get it? Doc and shock)
"I'm going to need my advanced tools for this job." Dr. Marbles says as he rubs his left hand.
Putting down his current tools, Dr. Marbles walks off to get his specialty tools to work on the panel while Motherboard continues enjoying the peace her and the rest of Cyberspace have been waiting so long to have.
