Cyberchase: End Game

Starter A/N: Hey everyone. Here's another Cyberchase fic for you all to, hopefully, enjoy. Apologizes are given if this fic isn't what you folks are use to. Unleashing the imagination is what is happening here. The pairings are as usual: Jackie/Slider and Matt/Inez. Like I said, the usual. Well if nothing else, on with the legal stuff and then the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Cyberchase because if I did, well it's already a TV show, so I lose either way lol. I just write about it, so what I'm doing is perfectly legal.

Summary: Hacker's best plan yet: Trap the Cybersquad inside a video game of his creation and if they lose, its game over! Will the kids be able to get to the final stage and win the game or will they loose and be trapped in the game forever?

Chapter 1: Beat The Clock!

Have you ever wondered how much time passes in Cyberspace compared to that in the real world? What would 15 minutes passing in Cyberspace be compared to that in the real world? 5 minutes or maybe 1 minute? While time is not a usual concern to most, it definitely can add pressure to those who have a time limit to meet. Such a situation can be said about what is taking place on the cybersite Wind Jammer Plato at this very moment.

Two teams are racing against the clock in order to be awarded the prize of this cook off competition and that would be the key to the Fearless Chef's cybersite where the winning team gets to come and go on the site as they please.

The two teams are Matt and Slider versus Buzz and Delete. The second team would have been Hacker and Buzz, but the last time Hacker competed, he was identified as a cheater and was immediately disqualified. Not only that, he nearly stole the Golden Hat award. From there, he was no longer able to compete in any of the Fearless Chef competitions.

Both teams have been given one hour and thirty minutes to complete two delicacies. The time now is 9:15 and with the first dish complete, the teams have exactly 15 minutes left to complete their last and final dish, which would be a Soufflé. Exactly one hour and fifteen minutes have already elapsed.

With the two boys continuing to race against the clock and their opponents, their girlfriends are back on the main set on the site cheering them on along with the rest of the crowd.

"Ok, we add one pinch of pepper and then let the Soufflé bake for seven minutes." Matt informs Slider as he reads over the recipe. "Afterwards, we add the powdered sugar on top and then send it off. Wait, who adds pepper to a soufflé? It's a desert not the main meal."

"Hey, we don't make the rules man." Slider replies, now adding the pinch of pepper.

Having added the pepper, Slider now places the Soufflé in the oven and sets the timer for seven minutes.

On Buzz and Delete's end, the two robots seem to be fairing ok, but are three steps behind Matt and Slider in making their Soufflé.

"What's next buzzy?" Delete asks. "We've already mixed the batter."

"Let me take a look." Buzz replies as he looks over the recipe. "Now that we've mixed the batter, we need a nine by thirteen inch pan to pour the batter into. After that, we add a pinch of pepper and then let it bake for seven minutes."

As Buzz begins looking for the proper dimensional pan to put their soufflé batter into, Delete now looks over at the boys' station and notices that they are way ahead in the competition.

"You might want to hurry it up buzz." Delete says going into a panic. "That earth brat and skater punk look to be almost finished. Remember what the boss said. He needs that key to that cyber site so he can begin his reign over cyberspace and if we lose, he'll take it out of us big time."

"I wouldn't be too concerned about us loosing Dee Dee." Buzz replies as he now finds and places the nine by thirteen inch pan on the counter. "I've got a plan that will guarantee that we win. Pour the batter and I'll be right back."

Delete does as he is told as Buzz slips out of sight.

While Matt and Slider are waiting for their soufflé to be done, they are chatting among themselves to past the time.

"If this soufflé turns out great, I'll be making one for Jackie." Slider says with a sly smile.

"Slider, sometimes I wonder about you." Matt jokes as he shakes his head.

"You wonder how wonderful I am or how good a cook I am?" Slider replies in a joking manner.

"Yes Slider, I wonder about both." Matt says.

Both boys begin laughing as Buzz now arrives in front of their station. Looking up, the small robot notices that Slider has his back turned and that he is out of Matt's vision. He also notices that the final ingredient to finish off their soufflé is sitting on the counter.

"Ok, the soufflé has four minutes left to bake." Matt says. "After that, we add the powdered sugar and send it off."

"I don't see them winning without the final ingredient." Buzz says to himself with an evil chuckle. "The boss will have that key in no time."

Quickly swiping the powdered sugar from the counter, Buzz makes his way back to his and Delete's station.

"Ok, one minute left." Matt informs Slider. "Get the powdered sugar ready."

"You got it." Slider replies.

Turning around, Slider notices that the powder sugar is gone. Looking all around the counter and behind the station, Slider can see that the sugar is nowhere to be found.

"Um Matt, the powder sugar is gone." Slider informs the red head.

"What do you mean it's gone?" Matt questions quickly turning to Slider.

"Just what I said, it's gone." Slider responds. "It might have blown away. This is Wind Jammer Plato after all."

"Great!" Matt begins panicking. "Now what are we going to do? We have to have that final ingredient before we send the soufflé off!"

"Alright, no need to panic." Slider says calmly. "I have an idea that will work. When the soufflé comes out, we'll coat the top of the soufflé with regular sugar. The heat from the soufflé will melt the sugar and give the look of powder sugar. I've seen my dad do it a million times when I was young."

"I sure hope this works." Matt replies.

"Trust me." Slider says with a nod.

The timer for their soufflé now sounds, letting the guys know that it is done. Matt removes it from the oven as Slider grabs the granulated sugar. Grabbing a table spoon, Slider coats the top of the soufflé with two table spoons of granulated sugar. As he said it would, the heat from the soufflé melted the granulated sugar, giving the top of the desert the look of powdered sugar. Matt quickly runs the soufflé over to the platform and hits the button. The soufflé is now on its way to be evaluated.

"With only nine minutes left to spare." Matt says, breathing a sigh of relief.

At Buzz and Delete's station, their soufflé has made it into the oven.

"What time is the soufflé suppose to come out buzzy?" Delete asks, looking at the clock.

"Not sure." Buzz answers. "Didn't you notice the time you put it in?"

Before Delete can answer Buzz, a thick cloud of smoke now arises from the oven.

Back at the main studio, Matt and Slider's soufflé has arrived as the host chef begins inspecting the dish.

"This soufflé looks absolutely delicious and smells delightful!" The chef announces. "It looks like we have a winner, but the only thing standing in the way of Team Motherboard's victory is their opponent and the delectable soufflé that they have prepared! With only five minutes left on the clock, time itself will determine who will be the new champion of the Fearless Chef!"

"Matt and Slider are so going to win this." Jackie says to Inez.

"You got that right Jax." Inez replies.

Back on Wind Jammer Plato, Buzz and Delete are trying to clear the smoke from the oven. Delete now removes the soufflé from the oven and notices that it has shrunk.

"Well, it's done." Delete says nervously.

"We can't send that off!" Buzz panics.

"Well, our jobs here are done." Matt says to Slider. "Let's head back to the main set."

Slider nods in agreement as the boys climb on their motorcycle and begins heading back to the main studio.

Back at the studio, the chef is continuing to look for Team Buzz's soufflé. With only nine minutes left on the clock, the crowd begins counting down.

"9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4." The crowd counts.

Matt and Slider now arrive at the studio.

"3, 2, 1!" The crowd finishes.

"And the time to cook is up!" The host chef announces. "Team Motherboard is the winner! Not only is Team Motherboard our new Fearless Chef champion, but they have also won today's prize, which would be the key to our cybersite, to go and come as they please! Congratulations!"

The crowd cheers wildly as the chef hands the key to Slider. He and Matt pose for the camera as their picture is taken. Both girls now run up to the guys and embrace them in a tight hug.

"You two were amazing!" Inez cheers.

"I knew you guys would win." Jackie says to Slider.

"Well ladies, you know how we do." Matt says as he and Slider high five each other. "If this were a video game, we would win hands down."

Wind Jammer Plato

Back on the windy cybersite, Buzz and Delete are trying to figure out what their next move is going to be.

"So what do we do now buzz?" Delete questions in confusion.

"Call Hacker and break the news to him." Buzz replies as he takes out his phone. "You call him."

"I don't want him yelling at me." Delete protests. "You call him."

"I don't want to get yelled at either." Buzz argues back.

"Well someone has to call him and let him know we lost to the earth brat and that skater punk." Delete says. "You have the phone, you call him."

Deciding not to go back and forth with Delete again, Buzz dials up Hacker with the other end picking up immediately.

"Hello boss, about the competition." Buzz begins. "We lost."

"WHAT?!?!?!?" Hacker yells into the speaker. "YOU TWO WORTHLESS DUNCBUCKETS!!!"

Loud yelling that can't be made sense of can be heard over the phone. Buzz takes the phone away from his would be ear. After two minutes of yelling, the other end hangs up. Buzz hangs up on his end and turns to Delete.

"Well, how'd he take it?" Delete asks.
