Chapter 15: Damage x36
At the top of the ladder, Plagiarize was in a tiny shack with a door on it. Upon opening the door, he was outside and on the other side of the tower they entered (the side they didn’t come from). The coast was clear. Plagiarize walked out and suddenly a spotlight was on him. He looked up and saw none other than a Bearmy ship in the sky, pointing its spotlight down at him.
Plagiarize ran back to the shack he came from and closed the door, but it was too late. He had already been spotted by the bears. The shack had its roof ripped off, marking the second time a Bearmy ship has ripped the roof off a building in this story, and sent a glass tube down which sucked Plagiarize up with a loud sucking noise.
When he reached the top of the glass tube, Plagiarize was inside of a glass box. This box was in a room on the ship. Seven bears wielding swords surrounded the box, and when one spoke, its voice transmitted into the box through a microphone.
“If you don’t tell us where your friends who killed the bears of Bear Pit are,” said the bear, “then we will kill you! And it will be very painful.”
“Ruh roh!” said Plagiarize. “Okay, in the shack I came from, there’s a ladder. They’re in a massive facility at the bottom.” He made sure not to mention the dragon to them.
“Oh okay lol. But if you’re wrong, then we’re killing you. And your friends.”
The seven bears entered the glass box through a door and all jumped into the tube. The last one to jump grabbed Plagiarize and forced him to follow.
The eight of them very slowly made their way down the ladder, and by the time they reached the bottom, all of their limbs were in pain.
“What the heck happened up there?” asked the goblin in the corner. “I don’t remember seven bears going up with you.”
The eight of them ignored the goblin and went through the door to the facility. Plagiarize made sure to stay at the back. It was smart of him to do that, because on the other side of the door was the dragon, and all the bears were dead within 10 seconds. Plagiarize bolted back up the ladder, and all of his limbs were dying to death. At the top, though, the Bearmy ship was still there, except it was on the ground now.
Plagiarize ran into the tower and nudged the Energy Cube right back onto its pedestal. Within a few seconds, the contraption to extract energy from it was back up and running. Plagiarize then jumped down the trapdoor, being careful not to touch the cube.
When Plagiarize landed on the slice of cheese at the bottom, he saw that the dragon was happily munching away on its cheese in the glass room just as it was before, except now the glass was broken. Mushpuff, Snorter, Bird, and the four cheese fish greeted him at the bottom.
“They’ve finished our new ship!” said Mushpuff with excitement. “It’s ready on the surface. Now we just need to get up there.”
“PLEASE no I’ve already climbed that ladder 3 freaking times,” complained Plagiarize.
“Oh don’t worry, there’s an elevator,” said one of the fish. “Now that power has been restored to the facility, we can use that instead.”
And so that is just what they all did. They rode the elevator all the way back up to the surface, which only took about 3 minutes. At the top, the gang was greeted with the sight of their new spaceship.
