Chapter 15: The Spirit Lifter: Steerage and First Class
Tyler and Sammy soon came out of the pipe to find themselves in the Steerage of the Spirit Lifter of the rocket.
"We're in!" said Callie.
"Looks like we've got more climbing to do," said Marie.
"What do you mean we? Aren't you even coming up here soon?!" said Tyler.
"Ay, ay! (We'll be rooting for you! Safely…from the ground far, far below…)." said Big Man.
"Eee! Big Man talked to me. OK. We're off."
"Thanks for the save. But I think my injury is finally healing," Captain Terry said.
"Good to know, Captain."
Tyler continues to go upward while fighting Fuzzy Octarians and avoiding the Fuzzy Ooze.
"Niiicely dooone!" Marie sang.
"Still a long way to go…but you'll get there in no time!' Callie encouraged.
"(Ugh! What is this song?! It sounds so annoying!)," Sammy complains.
"Sammy! Shhh! It's Deep Cut's song," Tyler whispered.
"(But what possessed them to create this song?!)."
"It is cute how they are singing it, though."
"You think are singing is cute?!" Frye blushed.
"Oh, you sly charmer. YEAH! Keep it up," said Shiver.
"Ugh! Such heavy security in here… I hate that!"
"Why is this place called the Steerage anyway?" Chris asks.
"Usually, it means the lower deck of a ship where the cargo is stored above the closed hold or the part of a ship providing accommodations for passengers with the cheapest tickets," said Owen.
"OK, I think they stopped for a bit," said Tyler, looking around to find no Octarians.
"Phew! It looks like you can take a quick breather…" said Marie.
But the adopted brothers stopped in place to gasp when they saw the Great Zapfish.
"AAAH! The Great Zapfish is in that huge container!" said Callie.
"So this is where it's been. We need to bring it back! But y'know…later, or something," said Marie.
"It's being used as the fuel for the rocket. Quickly, Sammy, to the ink launchpad," said Tyler.
"(We'll save you later, Great Zapfish. We promise.)," said Sammy before the brothers were launched upward.
When the brothers came on first class, bulkheads were being closed as O.R.C.A said, "Launch preparations are nearing completion. Please exercise care near closing bulkheads."
"Rude! It shut us out! Guess that way's a no-go…," said Shiver.
"But it's the only way to get out of there. What do we do?" said Captain Terry.
Then Marie said, "Hm? Hold on…look at those floating energy cores!"
"Ay! Ay! (And that's a switch. Look at me-I'm helping!)." said Big Man.
"OK, hear me out. We get the energy cores, we flip the switch, and then…SOMETHING! Right?" said Callie.
"Won't know unless we try! Let's steal 'em!" said Frye.
"But how is Agent 3 going to do that? They're all over the place, and the Fuzzy Ooze is too," said Chris.
"Hey, wait. I see a Can Special," said Tyler, opens it.
With the Zipcaster on, Callie said, "Nice, a Zipcaster! That'll make collecting energy cores easier for sure."
"(Let's hurry and make this quick! Cause I can't take this song anymore!)" said Sammy.
With DJ Octavio, he continues his battle with his enemies. But his Octobot knocked over the stirring machine of the Fuzzy Ooze.
"CODE RED! CODE RED! CODE RED!" said the security system.
The Fuzzy Octarians start to run for their lives as DJ Octavio tries flying away.
With Tyler and Sammy, Tyler gets the last energy core for Marie to say, "That's definitely all of them. Let's head to the exit."
"(Good because I can't take this song anymore.)," told Sammy when Tyler stepped on the switch.
"Emergency systems activated. Releasing door lock," said O.R.C.A.
"We're almost there, everyone," said Tyler, going through the door.
"Go, Agent 3. We'll meet you there," said Captain Terry.
