The Switch… Of Doom The Switch… Of Doom!

When Junior, Ashley and Dani returned to the Lotus with the now paralyzed Ben, they noticed something was wrong.

- "Where's Creepie?" Ashley said when they got there.

- "She was with us just moments ago, wasn't she?" Dani said. "We must've forgotten her at the battle scene!"

As they were talking, an armoured robot flew up towards them. The robot opened a hatch on his chest and a note popped out. They picked the note up an then the robot left them. Ashley picked it up and began to read.

- "What does it say?" Dani asked.

- "It's from the Wobnair…" Ashley said. "They've got Creepie… and want to trade her with us… for the Fairy Portal!"

- "Oh my god…" Dani said. "What're we gonna do?"

- "The only thing we can do…" Junior said. "Ask Timmy!"

The four of them went inside and told them what they had now learned from the robot.

- "Ok, I've had it with these Wobnair freaks!" Timmy shouted.

- "What are we gonna do, Timmy?" Tootie asked.

- "I think I have a plan. Since the Wobnair keeping Creepie is unacceptable, and handing them over the Portal is out of question, we'll split up into two teams. One team will go to the trading point and stall them while the other team goes to the base and free Creepie!"

- "May I ask why one group's going into the base again?" Ashley asked. "Creepie might be with whoever will be there for the switch!"

- "True, but there is a possibility that the Wobnair have more prisoners than just Creepie, like they had Dani and Junior!"

They talked about it and decided that Mandy and Gaz would go and stall the switch, Tootie and Lalavava would (along with Mac and Goo) take care of Ben, and the others would sneak into the Wobnair base. On the robot's note, Mandy and Gaz had gotten a map to where the switch would take place.

- "You don't think it's a little risky to bring the actual portal to the switch?" Mandy asked.

- "It's our best chance to stall them…" Gaz said.

They kept walking through the rocky wasteland until they came to a high cliff. They stopped and looked up and saw Orange sitting on the cliff.

- "About time you showed up!" she said. "I began to worry I'd have to go down and take it from you… and I don't think Yellow would like that!"

- "Who's Yellow?" Gaz asked her.

- "Well, wouldn't you want to know? Now hand over the portal and your spooky little friend walks home safe!"

Meanwhile, the other team managed to sneak into the Wobnair base undetected. As they got to the cell-block, they quickly found Creepie.

- "There she is!" Timmy said.

Just as they were about to set her free, they heard a wheezing sound from the opposite cell.

- "Please… help me…" it said.

The others looked towards it and saw a really skinny guy with a large nose.

- "Please…" he said. "Don't let her get near me…"

- "Don't worry!" Dani said, cutting the poor guy's shackles off. "Orange won't hurt you anymore!"

- "It's not… it's not… her…"

- "Then who are you afraid of?" Timmy asked.

- "Yellow…" he said and fainted.

Back at the switch-place, Orange began to get impatient.

- "Last chance, give me the portal or your friend's dead!" she said.

- "Where's Creepie?" Gaz shouted.

Suddenly, the same robot which had left them the note suddenly grabbed Mandy and flew up towards Orange.

- "Let's try this again, shall we?" Orange said and put a scalpel to Mandy's throat. "Give me the portal or I'll slit her head off!"

- "Don't give her the portal, Gaz!" Mandy shouted. "You don't want to do that!"
