Has Hacker finally found a way to take down Motherboard forever? All bets are off when Hacker stumbles upon the secret location of the “Program Proliferator”—a piece of hardware capable of reprogramming Motherboard’s operating system. It’s buried right under Dingerville Park, home of The Dingerball Series, a once-in-every-four-year championship game less than a week away. While retrieving the device, Hacker suctions up all the ballfield’s dirt, leaving a giant crater in the ground—and in the hearts of all Cybercitizens. No one is more distraught than Lefty, the local seven-year-old pitcher Matt’s been mentoring. The CyberSquad must figure out how to refill the missing dirt before the big game! Could composting lead to a home run?

Season 12 - Episode 9 - Aired 5/8/2020

Hacker has stolen the Prism of Power—a vital piece of Motherboard’s Operating System! Over the trees of Jungolia, the CyberSquad is in hot pursuit, when suddenly, a gust of wind sends everyone careening across the lush cybersite. Facing monsters, canyons, and cliffs, Digit and the kids must form unlikely alliances with Hacker, Buzz, and Delete as they pursue the Prism. Along the way, they notice how life on Jungolia is well suited to the surroundings—creatures blend into mud with camouflage, burrs cling to moss with hooks on their exterior, and sure-footed goats easily amble up the steepest peaks. Perhaps these features are just the creative inspiration the kids need. Can the CyberSquad adapt to the challenge? And who will be the first to reach the Prism of Power?
