Chapter 18
The plan was now put in motion, the Tulip now approached the bordering extents of the Spiral Groove System, beyond any known civilizations or planets. With Queen Primrose's assistance, the group had a larger chance of succeeding in their stealth mission, Poppy and Branch's friends weren't the best companions to have in this kind of situation, they could be loud and stand out easily in a crowd, luckily this wasn't the case. Since Guy's life was on the line, everyone took this situation very seriously and could not make this harder than it should be, Branch and Poppy's on-and-off argument is a possible issue along with Stellar's strange behavior.
Primrose clapped her hands together as she finished putting on her gloves, "Listen up people." She spoke before the now-ready group of trolls, "This won't be easy. This is not a simple stroll at Hug Fest. This is a big deal."
"And we are aware of that." Chenille spoke on her friend's behalf, "Well, at least I am."
"Alright... everyone besides Satin and Chenille then." Primrose rolled her eyes and continued to walk back and forth very menacingly.
Satin gasped offendly at her inclusion, "Do NOT drag me into this."
Biggie and Mr. Dinkles silenced both of them. Biggie argued at the twins, "Will you two just can it? This is serious."
"Thank you, Biggie." Primrose cleared her throat as she stared out the window, "Now this won't be easy, each team has important duties to fulfill. And if these duties are followed as expected, no harm will be brought down on us."
"Unless!" Supergleam spoke up, "There's something we're unaware of and a certain someone isn't saying anything useful!"
Froggy declared through the speakers across the spaceship, "The tone in her voice indicates irony and the feeling of betrayal!"
Everyone looked at Queen Stellar, who sat beside Guy's bed. Guy Diamond sighed in a low auto-tune voice, "Ohh..."
"Oh, my beautiful husband..." Stellar laid her arms on his chest and sobbed, "I'm so sorry I let this happen to you."
Poppy and Branch looked at each other, Branch approached her and suggested something, "Uh Stellar? Is there anything we should know?"
"Yes." She stood up and spoke loudly and clearly, "Expect the unexpected. Anyone in there could be made of clay... You may encounter other Craftians in there."
"Craftians?" Poppy questioned that term and sought her mother's response.
And she nodded to assure her daughter question, "Arts and Crafts. Like pompoms or popsicle sticks. That kind of people."
"Woah, sick." DJ Suki stared out the window with the Geckos accompanying her. They observed the magnitude of the space station they headed to, it was huge and very crafty. A large spherical matter made of papier-mache. Supergleam scanned the perimeter and communicated to Froggy, "Park us near the laundry."
Froggy followed the command and parked the Tulip right near the laundry exit, the large group headed toward the exit and stood by it in their disguises. Everyone looked very robotic and futuristic-like, apparently, they would blend right in with the place. Queen Primrose snatched Supergleam's gun and managed to bust the laundry exit open. They hopped into the space station and wiped their suits.
Queen Stellar and the Geckos observed from the tulips as they wished their friends good luck on the mission. Primrose gathered herself and handed the gun back to Supergleam, "Everyone remembers their teams and their duties?"
"Yes ma'am." Branch assured his mother-in-law he knew, that's because he absolutely did, "Extraction team is on the fly."
DJ Suki realized she was put on the same team as Poppy and Branch for some reason, so she immediately shifted sides and joined them. She noticed Supergleam was there and teased her about it, "You ready to get a map?"
"Please! I was born for this." Supergleam joked back at her, but suddenly made it awkward with her, "No, seriously. I've done this plenty of times before."
"Okay!" DJ Suki smiled back in the same amount of awkwardness.
"What are you two waiting for?" Poppy asked the girls as she stood by the corridor, "Let's go!"
The two immediately followed Poppy and the others, meanwhile, the rest of the SnackPack was left behind with no instructions to follow. Biggie held Mr. Dinkles as he wandered across the laundry, "So what exactly do we do now?"
"We wait." Satin and Chenille answered, with the intention of giving him the taste of his own medicine from what he said before.
Smidge groaned very loudly, "That's not fair! I was told I was gonna kick some butt."
"HAHAHA! You said butt!" Cooper started to laugh uncontrollably, he's been worse than ever lately. No one knew why.
"Guys! now it is not the time to be silly!" Biggie demanded, he did not want to risk anything, "We already have one of our friends hurt we cannot afford to have another in a similar condition!"
"Don't worry Biggie!" Satin tried to calm him down, he was usually pretty nervous about everything, like everything.
Chenille nodded her head to her sister's statement, "Yeah, we're all here."
"Except Cooper isn't." Smidge said in a monotone tone.
"WHAT!" The other three freaked out, how did they lose Cooper out of sight so fast?
Smidge shrugged as she pointed at a very obvious trail of footprints leading toward the opposite corridor of where the other group went, "I say we go looking for him..."
They all agreed and went after wherever Cooper got himself into, they were clearly in a much worse of a mess now. On the other hand, Poppy, Branch, Primrose, DJ, and Supergleam continued to wander the halls of the station and blended right in with the workers in that station, they were closer to the target.
"Hello, Earthware." A strange yet very authority figure spoke on a holographic screen across the station, "Our company's big project is close to fulfillment. Terra Cotta. A brand new artificial society with the sole purpose of providing the perfect lifestyle is reaching its final modification. With your hard work and drive, our project is closer to achieving its outcome now... Thanks to your hard work and drive! I am beyond grateful for your gratitude! You know where to find me!"
Branch glared at the screen and looked back at his friends, "What in the world did I just hear?"
"Must be the big boss." Primrose told him blantly, "We cant have any distractions. Come with me."
And so they did, going deeper into the space station. The groups caught themselves in very unusual and distinct situations that required focus and care to fulfill without ant trouble or attention. Luckily, that was some of thems speciality.
