At last my moment of triumph has arrived!

The one and only time in every one hundred eons

that Control Central

is in exact alignment with all the cybersites!

The one and only time that Motherboard is totally

and completely defenseless!

Prepare to release the Cloud of Engulfment!

Will do, boss!

You're a genius!

Indeed!

The key to being a genius is timing!

Yes, timing...

is...everything!

Oh, no!

The boss needs a recharge!

I'll tell you what the problem is!

Just when I'm in the middle of doing something dastardly,

I run out of juice!

The trouble is, your metatransformer is leaking fluid

into the zappozitometer, causing the gigadaptor to overload.

Exactly what I thought.

Now fix it!

This rustbucket?

No way, pal.

You need to dump this recharger chair and get the latest model.

The Recliner Rechargitron 27.0.

It's sleek, it's gorgeous, it's...

four thousand snelfus?

That's outrageous!

Can't you just update the old one?

I'm a mechanic...not a magician.

Can't just wave a magic wand over it, you know.

Wand?

Did you say magic wand?

I appreciate you staying here at Frogsnorts to help me tidy up,

Shari.

No problem, Professor Stumblesnore.

I hope it won't be too lonely for you

with all the other young sorcerers gone on Spring Break.

Not at all.

Digit and his earth friends are coming to visit.

Matthew is going to teach me some tricks with a yo-yo.

Yo

How delightful.

Matthew?

Hmmmmm...

And so we're done!

I'll be in my office if you need me.

...What's this?

"Meet me at the end of Merlin's Maze right away. Matthew."

...How sweet.

And such a surprise!

I mustn't keep him waiting!

Weeeee...

Coming, Matthewwwww...

How ever did Matthew find his way through this maze?

He really is clever...

...Matthew?

I'm here!

...Is that you?

Yes...it's me!

Hacker!

Where's Matthew?

Oh, yes, Matthew.

I'm glad you liked the note.

The heart was a nice touch, don't you think?

You wrote that note?

Sorry, no time to chat.

Places to go, havoc to wreak...that sort of thing.

I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for a while.

Can't have you ruining my brilliant plan, can I?

Ta-ta!

Let me out...let me out!

Wait!

I'm a sorcerer-in-training...

I'll simply use my magic wand and...

Oh, no!

I left my wand in my room!

Help!

...Got it!

"Sleeping Powder."

You sure this is gonna work, Buzzy?

Maybe we oughta test it to be sure.

You be Stumblesnore.

Okay.

...Ready?

Ready!

It's time do some magic spells.

See, Deedee?

I told ya it would work!

Uh-oh.

He's sound asleep!

Yikes!

It's Stumblesnore!

Stumblesnore's snorin!

Wake up, Dee Dee!

Wake up!

Oh, Professor?

The boss!

Perfect!

He's sleeping like a baby.

I can't believe it!

Those two duncebuckets actually did something right!

You don't mind if I take your wand do you?

I've got big plans for it.

Sweet dreams, Professor!

Deedee...wake up!

Hey Shari - we're here!

Shari?

She's not here.

Hey, a note!

"Meet me at the end of Merlin's Maze right away.

Matthew? !"

Signed with a heart?

Hey, I didn't write this.

I would never sign my name 'Matthew.'

And I definitely wouldn't draw a heart.

Then who wrote it?

And why?

It says, "Meet me at Merlin's Maze."

Maybe that's where Shari is...c'mon!

Uh....where's Merlin's Maze?

Tell ya what. Lemme "gwiggle" it.

Just punch in "Merlin's Maze" and...

Here we go!

Directions to the maze and a map to guide us through it!

As soon as all the magic flows from the wand...

thru the Coils of Enchantment...

...and into glorious and gorgeous me,

there'll be no more running out of juice!

Even better, I'll have unlimited magical powers!

Ooooh I can feel the magic in me already!

We've reached Merlin's Maze!

It says go past Merlin...and enter the maze.

Follow me!

Um...I hope these gargoyles

aren't like the ones we ran into in Castleblanca...

Just think about Shari, not gargoyles, Didge.

OK...turn right to Gnome's Gate.

Got it!

...OW!

DIDGE!

Didge, you okay?

Oh, yeah, I'll be fine.

That's weird.

According to the map, this doorway should be open.

Tell that to my beak!

Guys, I need some help!

Matthew

I'm trapped at the end of the maze!

HELLLLLLLP...!

Shari! We're coming!

C'mon, let's move this thing!

It's too heavy, we can't lift it!

We're sunk!

Matthew!

Hacker's here!

He's the one who trapped me!

Hacker must have written that fake note.

But why?

Don't worry!

We'll get you out!

Get Professor Stumblesnore!

He'll help!

Didge, you get the Professor.

We'll keep trying to move this stone!

I'm on it!

What we need is a tow truck.

Or a whole lot more people.

Wait!

On the farm, when my dad has to lift something really heavy...

he jams a board under it and pries it up.

...Great, all we need is a board.

What about this?

Shove it under the slab!

Okay!

Now push down!

Well, that didn't work.

I forgot.

We need a rock or something under the board,

so when we push down on this end,

the other end will lift up and tip over the slab.

Maybe we can use this!

Hey guys - I think we just made a lever!

Lever?

Yeah, board plus fulcrum - that's the part

the board tilts on - equals lever.

Huh.

I never knew what that was called!

Okay, guys, push down as hard as you can.

One...two...three...PUSH!

This didn't work, either!

What if we stand on it?

Maybe our weight will be enough force

to push it down and tip over the slab!

We're moving!

So is the slab!

Yeah, but not enough!

Hey!

When I move closer to the end - the board drops more!

Move this way!

All the way to the end works!

We went down and the slab went up!

All we needed was a lever with a fulcrum!

We're comin', Shari!

Yeah!

All right!

Professor?

YOIKES!

Wake up, Professor, we need your magic!

Professor!

Huh

Sleeping powder...no wonder!

Hmmm...maybe there's another potion here that'll wake him up.

This guy looks awake!

Rise and shine, Professor!

YOIKES!

What happened?

No wonder!

Sorry, Professor.

Gee, I don't speak "mouse"...

Buzz and Delete!

The Hacker can't be too far away!

Sorry for the inconvenience, Professor,

but we got a job to do!

Turn left at Bewitched Bend...

Go through the next doorway...

Yiikes!

We're blocked again!

And with three slabs instead of one!

No way these are moving!

Hey, the lever worked before - maybe it'll work here.

Let's get it!

Yes, oh yes!

Let the magic flow!

Hmmm, how shall I use my magic powers first?

Hi Boss!

Where have you two duncebuckets been?

And why are you carrying Delete?

Well...he uh...he's sleeping.

WHAAT?

I'm about to take over cyberspace...and he's sleeping!

Put him down!

Whatever you say, boss.

Now look what you've done!

Uh..sorry, boss.

I'll get it.

You're about as useful as a couple of pine cones!

Uh!

The magic is working!

I don't even need a wand!

Hi, Buzzy!

Deedee...you're awake!

Don't just wobble there - do something, you two duncebuckets!

Hey!

We're us again!

Thanks, boss!

Thanks a heap!

Just fix the machine so I can drain

every last drop of magic from that wand!

The slabs aren't moving!

Try bouncing.

Nothing!

Move all the way to the end like we did last time.

Excuse me, we're already at the end.

Then we need more end!

Ha-ha.

More end - that's it!

We need a longer lever!

Definitely longer.

Give me a hand.

Let's try it!

Close - but it's still not working!

We've just got to think of something!

Oops...!

Guess you were thinking too hard!

Oh man!

C'mon guys...what do we know?

The longer the lever, the more lifting power we have.

So all we have to do is find a longer lever!

Yeah, but how long?

Trying different lengths could take forever!

Matt! Inez! Jackie! Come in!

Didge!

What's up?

Hacker's draining the magic from the Professor's wand

into his own body.

We gotta stop him!

Okay, but we need Shari's help!

We'll be there as soon as we get her!

I can't wait that long.

I need a Plan A.

You'll need more that!

How about a Plan B?

Matt, do you have more yo

Yeah...but why?

I made this model to help me think.

And I need more yo-yo's.

See? Lever...fulcrum... slabs...and... this is us!

If we can figure out how things work with this model,

maybe we can find a rule to use with our other lever!

Since different lengths lift different weights,

we can find the length we need.

Cool!

Worth a try!

I want to see how long the lever needs to be to lift two yo-yo's,

then three, so we can compare the lengths.

That should tell us what we need to know.

Great idea!

Here...

It's not lifting the two yo-yo's. We need a longer lever.

Got it!

Yes!

Long enough for a two yo-yo lift off.

Hey, check this out!

If you measure from the fulcrum to where we push down...

the lever that lifted the two yo-yos is twice as long as the

lever that lifted one yo-yo!

So maybe a lever three times as long

This one's three times as long!

Let's try it.

Cool!

Twice the length lifts twice the weight!

And three times the length lifts three times the weight.

And since we need to lift three slabs instead of one...

we need a lever three times as long

as the one we used the first time.

Let's find one!

Okay!

Climb aboard, guys!

Please work...please work!

It worked!

Three times as long lifted three times the weight!

Quick!

We've gotta get Shari out and stop Hacker.

In a matter of minutes, all the magic will be mine!

And you, you little cyberturkey,

will not thwart my plan this time!

I'm not a thwarter.

I was just here to have lunch with the Professor.

Can I go now?

Not until I've drained every last drop of the wand's magic.

What do we do with the bird, boss?

What do you do with any bird?

Cage 'im!

The end of the Maze is on the other side of Enchanter's Arch.

Oh no!

Enchanter's Arch is blocked, too!

Shari?

Are you there?

Matthew!

We have to stop Hacker!

We know!

We'll get you out in a sec!

...Guys, you think a lever will work on six slabs?

Why not?

We know the how it works.

There's a pattern...three times the length lifted

three times the weight, so...

...six times the length should lift six times the weight!

....four...five...six!

Six times as long as the first one.

Perfect!

Man, that is one long lever!

I got our fulcrum!

Now set the lever on top.

Shari - Stand back from the doorway!

OK, Matthew!

C'mon, guys...all aboard!

Go all the way to the end, Matt.

OK, I'm there, Jax!

The slabs are moving!

It worked!

Jackie...Inez...Matthew, I can't thank you enough!

Um...you're welcome...

Shari, Hacker's got the Professor's wand

and he's taking all the magic from it.

Hurry!

We'll get my wand!

...That's it!

I'm done!

I'm fully loaded with magic!

Watch out, cyberspace...you're about to come under my spell!

Whoopsey!

I better be careful.

You better give up, you mean!

Easy, earthlies!

The Hacker's got magic up his sleeve...

And you cyberbrats are just in time to see it

work up close and personal!

I don't think so, Hacker!

Shari Spotter?

But how...they couldn't possibly have...

But they did.

And now I'm going to put a stop to your plans.

YAAAAH!

Is that all you can do, Shari Spotter?

No, I can and will impede your dastardly plans!

Oh, zip it!

You yammering youngster!

Watch this...

A tree?

Have you taken leaf of your senses...?

WHAT!

STOP!

NOOO!

Oh Hacker! Zip it!

Bravo, Shari...bravo!

Really, Matthew.

And now to reverse the flow of magic from you back

into the Professor's wand!

That's done! Digit!

MMMMM...!

But wherever can Professor Stumblesnore be?

Did Hacker do something to him?

Uh...I almost forgot.

Professor?

Oh my!

Much better.

Thank you, my dear.

Shall we go?

MMM MMMMM MMM MM MMMMMM!

MMMMM!
