"Woah!!!" Martin Kratt yelled as he zoomed through the tunnel at lightning speed. The walls of the tunnel sparkled with a dazzling array of colors, each shade flowing smoothly into the next. Complex mathematical equations and streams of code stretched endlessly through the dark expanse.

In the distance, Martin saw his brother Chris heroically carrying WordGirl on his shoulders. The trio had enlisted Motherboard’s help to create the portal to Cyberspace, and now they were racing through the tunnel.

The experience of the portal ride was both thrilling and disorienting. The rush of wind, the swirling symbols and numbers, and the pounding of their hearts combined to create a surreal sensation.

At last, they neared the end of the seemingly endless tunnel, a bright light indicating their imminent arrival in Cyberspace.

"Ugh!" Martin Kratt groaned as he landed hard on the ground. "I didn’t think the portal ride would be this bumpy!" He rubbed his back, trying to soothe the throbbing ache.

"Agreed," Chris Kratt painfully muttered, feeling nauseous and disoriented as the room seemed to spin around him.

"You'll get used to it eventually," Matt assured them, offering a helping hand.

As they regained their composure, they surveyed their surroundings with a blend of wonder and bewilderment. They found themselves in a sprawling, high-tech room topped with a glass dome. Outside, the sky shimmered in a deep green hue, dotted with countless twinkling stars that appeared almost too flawless to be real.

The platform beneath them led to a gigantic monitor featuring an oversized control panel. On the screen, a vivid 3D image displayed a blue-skinned woman with curly hair, accompanied by an unusual cyborg with a glass bulb for a head and a purple bird sporting a red cap and bowtie.

"Welcome to Cyberspace," Matt said, pointing at the screen. "That’s Motherboard, the ruler of this place. And over there is Dr. Marbles, her loyal assistant."

"Earthlies! I'm so glad you’re here!" The bird exclaimed with a bright smile, turning to the Kratt brothers who stood nearby, their eyes wide with surprise. "Um, hey Earthlies, who are these guys? Do you know them?"

"Chill, Didge. They’re cool. These are the Kratt brothers, Martin and Chris," Inez said, offering a comforting smile.

"Wait! You mean THE Kratt brothers? The ones known for their amazing creature adventures?" Digit asked, his excitement evident as his eyes grew wide.

"Wow! Even in other dimensions, we’re well known!" Martin Kratt laughed.

"Absolutely! We’re huge fans of yours. Your work is amazing!" Digit said, extending his wing. "Digit LeBoid, at your service!"

"Nice to meet you too, Digit!" Chris Kratt replied,  shaking Digit’s wing.

As WordGirl slowly came to, she floated up from Chris’s shoulders, feeling disoriented and groggy. "Ugh... What happened? And where am I?" She groaned, placing her hand on her bare head. Realizing her helmet was missing, she gasped, feeling a wave of vulnerability.

"Hey, is that WORDGIRL!?" Digit gasped, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"Looks like you know her too, huh?" Martin Kratt said, observing Digit’s reaction with interest.

"Definitely! It’s a privilege to have both of you here!" Digit replied enthusiastically.

“Can someone please explain what happened?” WordGirl asked, her tone a bit impatient.

Jackie paused for a moment, collecting her thoughts. "Well, after you went down, everything got chaotic. The villains were everywhere, and we barely managed to escape. We dashed into the forest to lose them, and it worked... for a little while." She explained, tension evident in her voice.
