[edit] Plot

The show stars three Earth children- Matt, Jackie and Inez- and Digit, a cyboid- a bird-like cyborg. The three kids and Digit work to stop the evil deeds of the Hacker and his two cyborg henchmen, Buzz and Delete.

The series takes place in Cyberspace, with planetlike bodies called "Cybersites." Each cybersite is inhabited by "Cyborgs", the virtual inhabitants of Cyberspace. Some are based on real-world places, such as ancient Egypt and the American Old West, or fantasy worlds, such as mythological Greece. The guardian of all Cyberspace is Motherboard; her repairman is Dr. Marbles.

In addition, a continued appearance of Wicked, a witch from the cybersite Happily-Ever-After' occurs, revealing her strong feeling towards Hacker, while Hacker only uses her abilities as a witch to further his own evil tactics as seen in episode #211, although he did show mutual feelings towards her in episode #203, but once again, it became all about him and less about her, so in a way, the occurrences of episode #211 are Wicked's way of evening that score.

While Slider was searching for his father, he stumbled across the location of the elusive encryptor chip. When he alerted the cybersquad, they soon discovered it was in the hands of an auctioneer. The kids eventually earned enough snelfus to win it, but they discovered the chip was infected to drain Motherboard, replacing her with Hacker. Note: Dr. Marbles had been kidnapped by Hacker, that is how Hacker stole the chip and infected it because Dr. Marbles was preparing it to place into Motherboard. The kids were then placed in the dungeon at the new Hacker Control Central, when they escaped they searched for the encryptor chip (because Motherboard was trapped in it).
