Darknights Challenge

[Mistery]

Darknight and Mystery were still discussing about the communication issues, and the alien set the coordinates on the switch panel for Darknight. However, as long as the operational reliability of a specific communication device didn't reach 95%, Mystery wouldn't want to start the next step of the mission. Darknight was tired of everything, and finally suggested the alien to ask her hubby and her clones if there was a way to enhance the power of her gadget. She agreed and walked to the main command station.

The boats travelled very fast on the Sea of Knowledge, and Sky Island was not very far away, when suddenly very dark clouds appeared on the sky. Becky shouted: "It seems that there will be a storm! Gather all your energy, we have to reach the island very soon!", and the loonies paddled desperately. But although they did their best, the roll of thunder grew louder and louder. "It's too laaaate, we haaaave to prepaaaare for the stooooorm!", the wolf shouted, and the loonies started to organize what was necessary. They knew that Lilliputt and Adventure could be blown away by the storm, therefore it was suggested to put them into Sir Theme's inner safe. The butterfly agreed, however the Carrot Islander didn't want to be locked in there, and so she was attached to Becky's leg. The robot then put a lot of oil and anticorrosive on his hardware to protect himself against any damage. Bread had to be protected aswell, and hence was wrapped in BeanMan's rain jacket. Lili wasn't afraid of the rain at all, but said that she would feel safer if somebunny held her in their hands or paws, and Hollandgirl was ready to protect her plantish friend. Everybunny was prepared for the storm the best possible way. But Doglover argued that a wet dog wouldn't smell very good, and seemed to be very worried about this problem. The other loonies tried to calm her down, and told that they didn't mind it. Their friend still wasn't very happy, but at least she worried less. Especially when she considered the situation of her sister, she felt ashamed for her behavior. She braced herself and hid under one of the seats in the boat. Murph stood next to Becky to protect Lilliputt even better, and suggested Hyper to stretch himself out under her to be better protected against the rain. But the small fox declined: "If it rains down on me, at least I can be sure that I won't start to burn, and jumped on Becky's head. The wolf wasn't happy about it, because she was scared that Hyper might be struck by a lightning, and she wouldn't want to be a lightning conductor. But then she remembered that the leader of the pack once told her that she was a very brave wolf, and decided to take courage.
Meanwhile the storm grew stronger and stronger, there was a driving rain, and their eyes and ears suffered from the thunder and lightning. After a short while OneBun started to yell: "OMB, I haven't got any carrots left, and I have to protect my ears!" Of course everybunny wanted to help, but what should they use instead? Sir Theme remembered that he had some robotish spare parts in his inner safe, and took out two smaller metal toes. They tried to plug them into OneBun's ears, and to their surprise it turned out that the toes fitted. The only problem left was, that the notes got wet and unreadable. Therefore the bunny decided to concentrate on everything and to keep in mind as much as possible, and to update her notes after the storm. All of a sudden Crazy remembered the scary adventures of Zox in the washing machine, and was hoping that he wasn't exposed to the storm somewhere on Slurp Spider Island. She was afraid that the spiders might have hung him out in the rain. Hyper wanted to take her mind off her worries, and jumped on her head. That of course drove her even more crazy, but at least she forgot to think about Zox for a while, and started to shake her head.

The friends moved closer to each other in the four boats, and were hoping that the storm would be soon over.

Mystery and her hubby did some work on the communication device, but they didn't have the opportunity to try it out. However, all the data had shown that the gadget could work well despite of the shield. "We have done some improve...", she started when she entered the room where Darknight had been, but her friend was gone. The alien noticed a piece of paper on the switch panel:

<<Dear Perfect Friend.

Yes, you are still my Perfect Friend! I'm sorry, but BatCat's life is in danger, and I could not wait any longer. I will try to figure out where she is captured, and will do all in my power to save her. I have taken one of your communication gadgets, and hope that you will find a way to contact me. Wish me good luck. Your Perfect Friend.>>

-----------------> To be continued

[Mistery]

Mystery got very nervous after reading the letter written by her Perfect Friend. She imagined him down in the fortress, without any help to face the spider soldiers. She was also a little angry, why Darknight could not wait some more minutes. Now she had a probably good working communication device, but he had left with an old one. What should she do now?

After a while, the storm grew weaker and weaker, and the rain stopped. The loonies started to check if everybunny was okay, and if there was any damage on their boats. OneBun took the metal plugs out of her ears and returned them to Sir Theme, who opened his safe to let out Adventure. Bread was unwrapped again, but since everything in the boat was wet, he was placed on the dry side of the rain jacket. Doglover, Becky, and Murph shook the water out of their fur, which wasn't received with much happiness by their friends, but they didn't say anything. Lilliputt was untied again, and she hugged Becky and Murph for protecting her so well against the storm. She felt the urge to give her friends some carrots, but there were no carrots left, and this fact made her a little sad.
Meanwhile the butterfly had visited all four boats, and reported to everybunny that fortunately there were no injuries and no damages. This made the whole group very proud, because they realized that they had done everything that was required to get through that scary storm.
Crazy was tired of the fox on her head, who got very heavy by all the water in his fur. "Get off my head!", she shouted, but Hyper didn't move. "I'm such an unlucky fox. I'm totally wet, and I'm cold.", he said. Doglover felt reponsible to teach him how to shake himself to get rid of the water, but Crazy wasn't happy that Hyper used her head as classroom, because at every effort to shake himself, water was running down her face. Finally she got very angry, grabbed the unlucky fox, and wanted to toss him into another boat. Her friends tried to hold her back, and at last Hyper landed in the sea. Everybunny started to yell: "Fox overboard!", and Sir Theme immediately transformed himself into a helicopter to rescue his unlucky baby brother. But Hyper refused to grab the rope that the robot had thrown to him, but told instead with a big grin: "I don't need any help, the bath in the Sea of Knowledge has made me a lucky fox. I know now everything that fits into my brain.", and he began to swim, getting further and further away from the boats.

Darknight landed on a small hill near the castle. Unfortunaty half of his body was stuck in the ground. <<All right, this seems to be the error probability that Mystery is mentioning over and over again.>>, the hero thought to himself, and had to free himself before he could find a place to hide. After he had dug himself out of the ground, he hid behind a tree, and examined the area very carefully to find the safest way to the entrance of the huge castle.
"What are you doing here?", a voice asked from above. Darknight froze, and looked up. He remembered the animal that was sitting on a branch observing him. It was the parrot from GamersHood Hotel. He whispered: "Hi parrot, long time no see. But now, please be quiet, I'm on an important secret mission. We'll chat at the bar. Go there, and I'll follow you soon. Okay?", and waited impatiently for the reaction of the parrot.

[Mistery]

When the loonies saw Hyper swimming away, they began to follow him. Despite of the big effort that Sir Theme had put in saving his brother, Hyper kept on refusing any help. "He is swimming in the wrong direction!", Becky exclaimed, and the robot replied: "I know! But as you can see, I'm doing my best!" Sir Theme was out of ideas and decided to discuss the problem with his friends. The four boats were directed next to each other, and the loonies started to make plans how to pull the little fox out of the water.

The parrot stared at the hero for a moment and said: "Okay, if you pay my drinks." Darknight nodded, and hoped that the bird would fly back to the bar. Suddenly the main door of the castle opened, and five slurp spider soldiers walked out in one line. They were marching lock-step to the main door of the fortress, which was covered by many layers of spiderweb. They started to check if the door was still safely locked, and Darknight was about to run to the entrance of the castle that was still open, when he noticed some worms sneaking around inside the castle and watching the spider soldiers.
The hero knew that he would have to find another way to enter the building, and after another glance, he noticed that one of the windows was not fully covered by a web. He waited until the spiders returned into the building, then quickly lifted into the air, and landed on the window sill. He immediately crouched, and observed the room inside. It seemed to be empty, and so he jumped down and looked around. He had to be very cautious not to run into a trap or to make any noise that would attract the attention of the spiders. He saw a hammock made of spiderweb, this was probably a bed. A picture of the Slurp Spider King was hanging on the wall. Darknight also saw an object made of a strange grey material that looked like a desk with an integrated bench. He noticed some sheets of paper on the desk, and examined them. He froze when he read what was written on them.

<<well here's how to make my pink surprize
kechup + mayonnaise + grinded cooked or pre cooked meat (cooked turkey is best) + stur till pink = pink surprize>>

<<Recipe for Carrot Rum (that tastes good and apparenly makes you fly!)
1/4 White, dry rum
3/4 V8 Splash Tropical, if you have it, if not see, Lili's concoction
1 Teaspoon sugar
1 squeeze of fresh lemon
Mix and enjoy. Drink cold.>>

<<I like the last mix the best to...I think it was the following recipe:
Carrot Juice
Pineapple juice
Carrot Juice
Grenadine
Whiskey
YUM!! >>

These were without any doubt some of OneBun's notes. But why were they here?!? Darknight grabbed all the notes, and put them into his utility belt. It was time to get out of that room and search for BatCat. The room was closed by a thick spiderweb, and the hero had to use his special knife to be able to cut it. He looked around before he stepped out of the room. Suddenly he heard a voice coming out of his utility belt: "....night, ....fully .... me. .... answer?"

[Mistery]

The discussions were as loud and chaotic as always. Different suggestions were declined, when finally Becky called Sir Theme, and whispered something to the robots ears. Sir Theme shook his head vigorously, and seemed to be upset. The wolf whispered: "Please, do it for your little baby brother.", but the robot refused. Becky got angry and declared that there was no point in trying to help such stubborn brothers, and she turned her back on him.
"No point?!? There's no point?!? Oh, how I hate that expression!", Doglover exclaimed and rolled her eyes. Lilliputt felt that things might get out of control, and therefore decided to do something. She hugged her daughter and told her a funny incident with the smurfs to cheer her up. Then she turned to Becky and asked what had happened. The wolf explained that Hyper had refused any help, and Sir Theme had refused to transform himself into a pot of ramen to save his little brother. Lilliputt tried to brace herself, but the thought of the robot turning into a pot of ramen made her ROFL on the seat of the boat, where she had been standing. The robot was disappointed and lifted up into the air again, which made the boat move a little, and the Carrot Islander rolled into the water. She sank for a moment, appeared on the surface again, and began to cough. When Sir Theme noticed the impact of his action, he apologized to his friend, and offered to help her out of the sea. Lilliputt looked angrily at the robot, declined with thanks, and started to swim towards Hyper.
The tense situation made the group depressed, and Murph roared in an angry voice: "That's enough! We are on a mission to save our dear friend Escape! And what are you doing?!? Pull yourself together! One for all, and all for one!" The group stared at the tiger, and some of the loonies felt ashamed. The silence was broken by Hollandgirl: "Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno!" Lili wanted to cheer up the group aswell, and added: "Or in gamershoodish: OneBun for everybunny, and everybunny for OneBun!" The loonies gazed at the lily who blushed: "Ummm.... I mean everybunny for Escape." "Agreed!", her friends shouted, and made themselves ready to follow Hyper and Lilliputt. The boats reached the two very soon, and after a short discussion, they were ready to get into the boats again.

Darknight jumped back into the room and thought <<Dear Perfect Friend, this is not the perfect moment.>> He took out the communication device and whispered: "Mystery, do you hear me?", but there was only a noise. After several unsuccessful attempts to contact the alien, the bat decided to switch off the gadget for the moment for his own safety. He continued his way through the corridor. Although he was very precautious, he didn't hear the three slurp spiders who stepped out of one of the rooms behind him. When he looked around again to check the corridor, the spiders were already running towards him. Darknight grabbed the front feet of the first spider and threw him over his shoulders. The spider landed on his back, and had troubles getting on his feet. The other two spiders attacked him from different sides, and just before they hit him, he jumped high up into the air, and the spiders collided. Both fell on the floor, and seemed to be unconscious. Darknight quickly tied their legs together. The other spider managed to get up again, and threw an evil glance at the bat. Darknight took his lasso out of his utility belt, and swung it. The spider started to move very fast, but the hero finally caught him, and wrapped the lasso around him, until the spider could not move anymore. Just at this moment, a fourth spider jumped towards Darknight, who yelled: "Time for the Hyper Trick!", and he jumped on the head of the spider. The soldier began to shake his head to get rid of the opponent, but the bat didn't let go. The spider ran around in circles and continued to shake his head like mad, but after a while he started to feel dizzy and suddenly fell over. Darknight immediately used some glue on the legs of the enemy, and when the soldier tried to run away, he got stuck on the ceiling.

The four boats finally reached Sky Island. Everything seemed to be calm. The loonies decided to get some food from the fridge in the office, and to look for a good spaceship. Lilliputt and OneBun entered the building while the rest of the group walked to the hangar. Sir Theme, who felt most competent to make a choice among the ships, examined them very carefully. The others were just walking around, and marveled at the shiny metal flying objects.
OneBun and Lilliputt entered the office, and much to their astonishment, they found their friend Zox lying on the table sleeping like a log. They tried to wake him up, but he didn't move. Lilliputt quickly stepped to the fridge, and found some carrot juice, then opened the freezer and took out some ice cubes. "Okay, we'll try it with both methods at the same time, this should wake him up!" Saying that, she told OneBun to hold his mouth open, and dribbled some carrot juice into Zox's mouth. Then she put some ice cubes on his head. They were anxious to know if the experiment worked. All of a sudden, Zox sat up, and stared at his friends. "What?!? Why?!? How?!?", he exclaimed, and seemed to be very vonfused. OneBun smiled at her friend and said: "God morning Zox!", and Zox replied: "God?", and seemed to be even more vonfused. The pink bunny let him some time to fully wake up, and explained what had happened on Myranda Island since he had been gone. She asked him how he had come on Sky Island, and Zox told her the incidence with Mystery. In the meantime, Lilliputt filled a basket with carrots, carrot juice, and tomatoes. The three walked over to the hangar to join the other loonies.

Darknight looked at the slurp spiders, and decided to put some tape over their mouths. He continued his way, and soon he arrived at a ladder made of web. <<Hmmm... BatCat might be in the dungeon deep down in the basement, or locked up in the tower. Where should I go now?>>, he thought to himself. Finally he decided to go down first, and climbed down very carefully. When the hero reached the basement, he heard voices coming from one of the rooms. He sneaked up to the door made of a thick spiderweb. He cut a small hole and took a glance. Two slurp spiders and three worms were discussing about something, but Darknight didn't understand a word. He determined to search the area for BatCat before the opponents left the room.

When OneBun, Lilliputt and Zox arrived at the hangar, there was a huge chaos. One of the ships was rotating 5m above the ground, some of the loonies were yelling and running around full of panic, while others were lying on the floor and covering their heads with their arms. OneBun shouted from the entrance of the hangar: "What happened here?!?", and Sir Theme shouted back: "My baby brother has hotwired one of the ships!" The pink bunny took some notes, then turned to the robot: "How can we stop him?", but Sir Theme shook his head: "I haven't found any useful data to answer this question." Then he turned to Lilliputt and asked: "Any idea if we could use your Eenie Meenie method in this situation?" The Carrot Islander was not really sure if the robot was only teasing her or asking her for help. But the situation seemed to be very serious, and therefore she didn't want to start an argument, and replied: "Not in this case, I'm afraid."
The spaceship was still rotating, but the movements of it became more and more chaotic. "Nooooo, Hyper is about to destroy my ship! Somebunny do something!", Zox yelled frantically, and suddenly turned to Lilliputt: "Sing it down! Sing it down!"

Darknight examined all the rooms in the basement, but no sign of BatCat. He decided to try to contact Mystery again. He switched on the communication device and heard voices coming out of it:
- No sir.
- But where are they?
- Our underground spies have reported that they have left the main island, sir.
- Any more data?
- Yes sir, our secret agent in the robot's head has reported that they are on the island with the spaceships.


------------> To be continued

[Mistery]

Lilliputt stared at Zox with eyes open wide: "Sing... it... down? Umm... ya mean... well... why? I mean... why me?", but Zox got impatient and said: "Somebunny needs to stop this chaos! And since Mystery is not here to take care of it, you have to help us! Sing!", and turned to the loonies who were still running around and yelling, or sticking to the floor and covering their heads or ears: "Everybunny, leave the hangar! Quickly!"
The loonies immediately started to run towards the entrance of the hangar, and even Lilliputt joined them. She crossed her arms and said in hurt voice: "Yes, sure. If Mystery is not here, I'm good enough to solve your problems. Hmpf!", and walked over to the office to grab some carrots that were still left.
The loonies stood outside, watched the ship turning and tumbling in the air, and felt very helpless. Becky walked over to the office, sat down next to Lilliputt, and hugged her: "Oh my dear friend, don't feel hurt. It's not at all like you think. We all need your help, and since you have been able to help us so many times, we trust in your abilites. Please come over and save Hyper and the spaceship, you are the only one who can help." Lilliputt looked with teary eyes at Becky and said: "Why don't you ask the robot? He has always more logical ideas than I have. At least everybunny says that." The wolf told her friend to wait and walked out. She had a long discussion with Sir Theme, who finally entered the office and sat down. "Well, I have to admit that I can't do anything right now. I don't have a beaming device to beam into the ship and land it safely. And I wasn't able to contact mom. You are the only one who might be able to stop the ship. Let's not argue about different ways of thinking, I'm sure that if we use both, we might be most successful. I promise that I won't say anything about your Eenie Meenie method anymore. Really.", and the robot stood up and left the office.

Darknight assumed that the communication device had also a translator function, and that the dialogue was a translation of what the slurp spiders and worms had been talking about in the other room. He felt very alerted about the fact that there were underground worm spies on Myranda Island, and even a secret agent in Sir Theme's head. He knew that he had to talk to Mystery as soon as possible.
Just at this moment, the spiderweb that had covered the room began to fade away. He quicky hid around the corner and watched the spiders and worms step out of the room. The spiders turned around and sealed the door with spiderweb again. <<Hmmm, very efficient method...>> the hero thought to himself, while he was watching the opponents climb up the ladder to the next floor. He quickly hid in a corner, and said: "Mystery, can you hear me?"

Mystery was still busy trying to make a plan after she had not been able to contact her Perfect Friend. Suddenly the device started to make a strange noise, and the alien heard: "....tery..........me?" Mystery got very excited and turned to her hubby: "It's Darknight! Finally! But... I can't understand much!" Mystery's hubby stayed cool and explained to his wife that now that they knew Darknight's location, they could beam down an enhanced communication device. Mystery agreed and felt so happy about this idea, that she started to run around in circles yelling: "Yes, beam, do, yay!" Her hubby looked at her in astonishment, and said: "Honey, I think that you need to reboot.", then stopped his wife and pulled her thumb. During her rebooting process, he beamed down an enhanced device to Darknight.

The hero was about to leave the basement, since he had not received any reply from the alien. Just at this moment, something hard hit his right big toe, and he shouted: "OUCH!", but then quickly put his hand over his mouth. He looked around to see if any spiders or worms could have heard him, but everything remained silent. Then he looked down to his feet, and discovered the communication device. He looked up, frowned and remembered how he had been stuck in a hill after beaming down to Slurp Spider Island. He whispered: "Perfect Friend, your error calculations are getting better....", and made a strange grimace.

----------------> To be continued

[Mistery]

Lilliputt considered what Becky and Sir Theme had told her, and decided that she was obliged to help her friends. And after all, it was about saving her daughter BatCat. She walked to the hangar, where the spaceship was still moving in the air with a loud noise. The loonies watched very curiously what would happen next. Lilliputt stepped in, took a deep breath and began to sing in a loud and clear voice:

Slooooooow dooooooown deeeeeeear shiiiiiiiip,
Giiiiiiiive reeeeeeest to the ooooooold chiiiiiip, <<OMB, I'm singing computer gibberish!>>
Reeeeduuuuuce locomoooootion, <<I'm turning alien!>>
Imaaaagine thee ooooocean, <<Yes, that's better.>>
And nooooow land on the flooooor,
Siiiiilent without a rooooooar. <<I'm turning Murph!>>


Darknight was finally able to talk to Mystery and give her all the necessary information about the secret agents on the island and in the robot's head. He also told her about his plan to go up to the tower, and continue the search for BatCat. The alien asked her Perfect Friend to be very careful and to report her any news. She promised to take care of the worm problem.
The hero slowly climbed up the ladder made of web, but suddenly felt a pain at his arm. He realized that two worms were staring at him and throwing burning balls of spiderweb at him. He quickly took a small fire extinguisher out of his utility belt, and used it first on himself and then on the worms. The two creatures looked like snow worms after the treatment, and began to cough. The hero cought them in a small box, and continued his way up. Finally Darknight arrived in the tower. He saw guards walking around in front of a room covered by a very thick spiderweb. Was BatCat in there?

Mystery directed her ship immediately towards Sky Island. As soon as the spaceship arrived over the island, she beamed herself down to the office. Nobunny was to be seen. She walked out, and there, in front of the hangar, she saw the large group of loonies staring at the inside of the building. She had a bad feeling, and began to run: "What happened, are there any problems?!?" As soon as she reached the entrance, Lilliputt walked out of the hangar, crossed her arms, and said: "No, not anymore."
The alien didn't understand anything and so she entered and saw her baby son Hyper sitting on the head of her robot son. Hyper was shaking, and all his fur was wet. Sir Theme tried to calm him down and to take him off, but he was not able to move his brother. The alien asked the robot what had happened and Sir Theme explained the whole story. "I'm such an unlucky fox, I just wanted to help.", Hyper said in shivering voice, and looked with sad eyes at his alienish mom. Mystery smiled at Hyper, and took him off Sir Theme's head: "Don't worry, I know that you only wanted to help. It's okay." She told Sir Theme to wait there, then walked up to Lilliputt, and hugged her: "Thank you dear friend. I'm so glad that nothing bad happened. And this is your merit." The Carrot Islander smiled very proudly, and finally felt that she finally gained recognition. Mystery quicky informed the group about the current situation, still holding the small fox in her arms.

The guards were much too watchful, and Darknight started to miss his invisibility cloak. <<Ah, that's it! I ask Mystery to beam down a cloak>>, he thought to himself, and looked for a safer place to contact his Perfect Friend.
But no matter how he tried, there was no answer from the alien. <<Hmmm, should I sing the Alooney Song now? Hehe... No. Dear Perfect Friend, would you be so nice and come back? I know that you are taking care of the worm problem, but I neeeeeed you here aswell. I neeeeed the invisibilityyyyy cloooooak. OMB, now I'm turning Lilli.>> He decided to sit down and to wait for a while. He hoped that her Perfect Friend wouldn't let him down. He was so near, all that he needed was the cloak.

-------------------> To be continued

[Mistery]

Mystery agreed with the group to take two ships and direct them to Slurp Spider Island aswell. Then she said goodbye, and took her sons to the ship. She quickly talked to her hubby, and they decided to fly back to Darknight, and to prepare an antiworm update for their son as soon as possible. But since they didn't want Sir Theme to give away any information in the meantime, a clone of the alien took the robot and the fox to the beach of Carrot Island.

The group of loonies finally managed to choose two ships, one would be led by Zox because he was a spaceship engineer and was able to fly it. The question was who could fly the second ship. OneBun, who still remembered her earlier adventure on Mystery's ship, reassured the group that she had taken enough notes meanwhile to be able to fly a ship. Finally the spaceships took off and flew towards the island of the spiders.

Darknight, who had started again to take away a letter of his Perfect Friend's title, arrived at Ct Friend when he heard a noise coming out of the communication device. He asked the alien for an invisibility cloak and added: "Mystery, I have a request. Would it be possible for you to pay very much attention on the calculation of the error probability?" The alien was stumped and didn't really understand why Darknight asked her for that, but promised to do so.

In the meantime, Hyper and Sir Theme were relaxing at the beach. They decided to go for a swim in the Sea of Knowledge. The robot put a lot of oil over his body to protect himself against any damage caused by the water, and jumped in. He immediately started to scream and to shake his head: "There is a worm in my head, mother do something!", and started to run around in circles. The clone was very alerted but could not do anything. Finally it contacted the alien and asked for advice. Mystery promised to be there as soon as possible and directed the ship towards Carrot Island.

[Mistery]

Darknight hid under the invisibility cloak, and slowly approached the guards who were watching the area around the door very carefully. Meanwhile there were 4 guards, and the hero decided to spill some oil on the floor. He took a small oil can out of his utility belt, and poured the oil with a quick movement all over the area in front of the door. The spiders began to move their legs, trying to run away, but they didn't manage to move in any direction. It looked very funny how they slid on the floor, and finally landed on their backs, still rotating on the floor. Darknight quickly used his special knife to cut the thick spiderweb that covered the door and entered the dark room.
What he saw, terrified him for a moment. BatCat was standing on a bed of metal, fighting with her claws, her eyes closed, and singing the Alooney Song in a very loud voice.

Darknight stared at his sidekick, and felt very sorry for the cat. What had she gone through? He tried to speak in a calm voice with her: "Hey, BatCat, it's me. Darknight is here to take you home." BatCat who only felt that there was somebody in the room, was even more scared, and determined not to hear any more slurping noises. Therefore she raised her voice once more, and fought even more desperately with her claws. She changed her song.

I'm scratching you all you slurp spiders
Even if you are good fighters
You have no chance, I will survive
Until my looney friends arrive!

Darknight shouted: "BatCat, your looney friends are here! Please stop it, we will save you!" But the cat didn't hear anything and went on defending herself. The bat was desperate, what should he do? He didn't want to hurt the cat, and so he had no chance to stop her. He quickly took out the communication device and yelled: "My Most Perfect Friend, I need you! I have found BatCat, but I can't stop her fighting! Do something!", but there was no reply.

[Mistery]

Mystey's ship arrived above Carrot Island. She grabbed the antiworm update and told her hubby to beam up Sir Theme, but since he was running around in circles, the beaming device could not locate him properly. The alien had to beam down. She was determined to stop her son, and stood in his way. But unfortunately the robot didn't notice anything, and had an enormous speed, so that they collided and fell on the ground. The clone quickly took the antiworm update and used it on the robot. After a while the worm could be deleted, and mother and son regained consciousness. They felt a little dizzy, but otherwise they were okay. Now that the worm problem was solved, Mystery took her sons and the clone onto the ship again, and directed her ship back towards Slurp Spider Island.

OneBun took her piles of notes, and distributed them among the passengers. "I will tell you what information I need and you look it up." Her friends agreed and waited for the instructions. "Okay, now... We have to set the direction. Please look up the process to set it, and also the coordinates of Slurp Spider Island." The loonies started to search among the notes, and only the sound of paper was to be heard. After a short while Doglover shouted: "I got it, here!", and ran over to OneBun. "Hmmmm, let me see. To set the direction, touch the screen in the 4th line at the bottom and choose the coordinates of the goal. Okay, that sounds easy. Has anybunny found the coordinates of the island yet?" Adventure and Becky exclaimed at the same time: "Here!" They handed OneBun the notes, who began to study them. "Hmmm, two different coordinates. I seem to have forgotten to note down which one was invalid. Okay, let's try to contact Zox. Please look up everything you can find about communication with other ships."

Freakshow was very curious how it felt to fly with warp speed, and asked Zox if he could demonstrate it. The ship pilot replied that for such a short distance warp speed was not necessary. But the looney group begged him to show them how it was, and finally Zox agreed. He pushed the warp speed button, and the ship accelarated. "Oh, look at the stars on the screen, wow!", Freakshow yelled. "Stars?!?", Zox asked in a shocked voice and glanced at the main screen. What he saw, made him alerted. They had arrived in another galaxy. Zox pushed the button again and yelled: "OMB! I forgot that I was changing some of the ships to TRIPLE WARP. Uffff! Here we are." "Where?", asked the group, and Zox answered: "Ummm... well... I have no idea."

OneBun wasn't able to contact Zox, although she was sure that she had followed the instructions on her notes. Finally she said: "Okay, we have two different possibilities. May I ask our decision expert to use her Eenie Meenie technique?", and smiled at Lilliputt, who got very excited.

Darknight heard some slurping noise coming nearer, and it was clear that he had to do something. First he thought of putting the invisibility cloak on BatCat and himself, but since the cat was still singing in an incredibly loud voice, this seemed to be a bad idea. "Okay, I need a backup plan.", he said to himself, and facing the consequences of his action, he put BatCat on his shoulder, clenched his teeth, and left the room. He saw a big group of slurp spiders coming nearer, and quickly jumped on the window sill, cut the spiderweb, and lifted up into the air with the singing and fighting cat on his shoulder.

Mystery decided to ask about news from the two ships, but could only reach one of them. OneBun replied her, and told about their difficulties, but also reassured the alien, that thanks to Lilliputt's decision taking method, they finally found the island. The report of the pink bunny was interrupted by a roaring voice: "I see Darknight flying in strange loops near the harbor! There must be something wrong!"
The alien recognized Murph's voice, and got alerted. Just at that moment her instruments showed that there was something wrong with the matter-antimatter drive system on her ship, and the vehicle slowed down. She quicky updated OneBun with the latest problem, and promised to join them as soon as she was able to fix it. Sir Theme and his alienish parents immediately ran some data to find out the cause.
Murph was determined to beam down and shouted: "I will save BatCat! Let me beam down!", but the other loonies tried to hold her back, and explained that this was too dangerous. Becky turned to OneBun and asked if they could beam up Darknight. "Well, let me see. Look for the notes about beaming.", and the group began to search the piles of paper. Once all the notes had been found, OneBun put them next to each other, and tried to figure out how she had to proceed to beam up the bat. After reading the relevant notes, she was confident that she was able to do it. But no matter how she tried, it wasn't possible to locate the bat properly, since he was tumbling too fast through the air.
The tiger felt very nervous, and began to walk around. Suddenly she discovered a small beaming device. The problem was that she had no idea how to set it. She saw that she had to enter 3 coordinates, and knew the coordinates of Slurp Spider Island for the ship from the notes. But when she entered them, a small red light lit up on the device. "Hmmmmm... think Murph, think! Why doesn't it work? Hmmmm.... I think I got it! The coordinates for the ship were probably for the whole island, and now I need to set the beaming device to more exact coordinates of a location on the island. Okay... Darknight is near the harbor..." Murph walked back to the notes, and tried to find one that contained the coordinates of the harbor. Meanwhile the rest of the group was discussing different plans to save Darknight and BatCat. They didn't notice, when Murph started to smile happily.

Darknight was suffering from the claws and the loud voice of BatCat, and had big difficulties in concentrating on his flight. He was flying up and down, turned in the air, and decided to find a place without spiders and worms to be able to put the cat down from his shoulders. BatCat was still very determined to keep away any kind of enemies.

You cannot come near to meeeeeee
I am worse than a beeeeee
Go away, don't come baaaaack
I will never be your snaaaaack

Finally he spotted a place near the harbor which seemed to be completely free of spiders and worms. He flew in that direction but due to his concentration problems, he hit the ground. BatCat fell from his shoulder, landed on her back, and continued her behavior without noticing anything. Darknight was exhausted and desperate for a moment, but he remembered that he still had 2 tomatoes in his utility belt. He took them out, put one of them into BatCats mouth, who immediately stopped singing, and he began to eat his tomato.

BatCat immediately froze, and hit the tomato out of her mouth. She started to yell: "What's that?!?", and Darknight realized that this was his chance to explain everything to his friend. He talked in a low voice with her, and managed to calm her down. When BatCat opened her eyes, she looked around and didn't understand anything. She stared at the bat with huge eyes: "Where am I? Why am I here? What...", and Darknight told her what had happened before, but tried to be very diplomatic about the cat's behavior. While Escape was listening, she began to eat her tomato. Just when Darknight finished the story, they heard an enormous loud SPLAAAAAASH! and immediately stood up. They saw a big fountain on the Sea of Knowledge, and Darknight decided to fly there and see what had happened. He put the invisibility cloak on, and directed towards the sea. He saw something very deep down in the water, but could not recognize what it was. It started to come nearer and nearer to the surface, and Darknight almost yelled when Murph's head appeared. Murph began to cough and to grasp for air, but finally managed to breathe normally again. The bat uncovered his head, and asked very surprised: "What are you doing here?!?", and Murph said with a big smile: "I have come to save you!"
This was a very weird situation, and the hero felt speechless. But as polite as he was, he just pulled Murph out of the sea, put the cloak on both of them, and flew back to BatCat, who immediately jumped on Murphs shoulder: "Auntie Murph!!! I'm sooooo happy to see you!", and Murph hugged her niece with tears in her eyes.
Darknight waited patiently until his friends calmed down a bit, and then turned to Murph: "So now you are going to beam us up, right?", but Murph froze. "Well, ummmm... I just beamed down somehow, and didn't think of a continuation.", and blushed. Darknight shook his head, sighed, and tried to contact Mystery, but he had still no luck.

Zox sat on the floor, putting his arms over his head, and seemed to be in a shock. He had no idea where they were, and the screen showed the coordinates XYZ, which meant that these coordinates were not known. Where should he direct the ship now? He had already tried to enter the coordinates of Slurp Spider Island, of Myranda Island, Carrot Island, and Worm Island, but nothing had happened. He felt desperate. Crazy, Freakshow and Maniac tried to cheer him up, but Zox sat there in a deep depression. For some reason, most members of the group were not that desperate, and began to make jokes: "We are lost in space, haha!" "We have spread the virus into another galaxy, lol!" Finally Freakshow decided to use the Eenie Meenie method on the 4 directions, and to push the warp button after the decision had been taken. "Eenie, Meenie, Miney Mo, Catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers let him go. Eenie Meenie Miney Moe. Okay, we got it!", he shouted, and pushed the warp button.

"Can't you just contact OneBun? You know, Mystery has some problems with her ship, I think she said something like fuel material problems. She is far away from here, and maybe that's why you can't reach her. But OneBun's ship is just above the island, that's where I beamed down from. OneBun tried to beam you up, but you had some strange choreography, lol."
"Oh, have we been dancing?", BatCat asked smiling at her hero, and Darknight replied: "Yes, sort of.", and pulled his cape on his neck to hide the scratches. Then he turned to Murph: "Well, do you have any idea how to set the communication device?", but the tiger shook her head: "Maybe if I beam myself into the Sea of Knowledge again? Lol."

The group finally agreed on a plan, when Doglover exclaimed: "Where is Murph?!?" Everybunny began to look for the tiger, but they could not find her. Suddenly Becky whispered: "She wanted to beam down... Can it be that...", and she looked shocked at OneBun, who immediately started to use the locating device. After a while she shouted: "I got them! All the three are there! BatCat is saved!", and she followed the instruction for beaming up beings. But for some reason it didn't work. OneBun was very disappointed, sat down, and grabbed a carrot. "Let me think... Hmmmm... Yes! Maybe the weight is too high. I have to raise the beaming energy somehow. Could you please look for this information in my notes?", and the group searched the piles of paper again. Adventure found the relevant note, and handed it to the pink bunny, who looked at it very vonfused: "Yes, hmmm, okay. There is an equation to calculate the approximate weight related to the beaming energy. Hmmmm... me maths not so good." OneBun decided to try it withouth any calculation, just according to her feeling. She raised the energy, and pushed the button that started the beaming process.
There was a huge rumbling, the spaceship began to shake, and the group screamed in shock. OneBun immediately plugged carrots into her ears, and looked around, Becky howled in a strange voice, and Doglover ran around in circles, carrying Hollandgirl on her back. Lilliputt covered herself with the notes and said to herself: "I'm not scared. I'm not scared."
On the platform BatCat, Murph, and Darknight appeared, sitting on a hill. "Oooops, I think that was too much energy.", the pink bunny concluded. The three beamed up loonies were very surprised, looked around, and finally recognized where they were. The bat put BatCat on his shoulder, lifted Murph and flew down the hill to join the group. They had a huge group hug , and started to dance of joy. Then BatCat and Darknight told about their adventures, and Murph also added her beaming story. OneBun finally realized that it would be good to let the others know that everything was okay. She contacted Mystery, who was already on her way to Slurp Spider Island with Sir Theme, Hyper, her hubby and the clones, after fixing the ship. She was very happy to hear the good news, but was very worried that she had not been able to reach Zox' group.
