Chapter 19
In the Earthenware space station, the Guy Diamond rescue group had split up to gather information on the precise location of the origin of glitter, however, these coordinates were not available to anyone. That's why they separated into groups, some served as a distraction and others played a more active part in retrieving such details. While Queen Primrose's team was preoccupied with not causing any commotion, the rest of the SnackPack had to find Cooper, who was somehow stranded in the hallways. No one knew how he could achieve such a feat, but they were, searching for the funk troll.
Biggie, Smidge, and the Twins rushed through the long acrylic hallways of the station, and suddenly all of their bickering transferred into concern. All of them were already desperate to save Guy Diamond as soon as possible, but any given detour could delay the chances of saving him from a terrible fate. Smidge suddenly spoke up as they painted, "When we find his furry neck I'm gonna kick his a-"
"Smidge!" Biggie shushed her desperately, Mr. Dinkles looked unamused himself.
"What is it?" Smidge looked up to him, gritting her teeth, "I swear if you did that just to keep me from saying it... I'll do the same thing to you."
"What?!" Biggie furrowed his eyebrows in doubt, "No! That's not what I meant. Look ahead."
Smidge did as suggested and saw the huge atrium of the space station, several 'Clay-Liens' roamed around doing their jobs. All of their jaws dropped upon seeing this, this was news to everyone there. Biggie scratched his chin and asked, "Are these the same as..."
"Looney..." The Twins repeated at the same time, they all looked at each other.
Satin then broke the silence and decided to bring the subject up, "Alright. How are we supposed to find Cooper here? This place is huge!"
"Surely he'll stand out. None of these creatures are quadrupedal." Smidge brought in a little bit of logic to the quest. Biggie gasped in agreement.
They heard a familiar scream coming from behind an ornamental flower wall. The gang ran after it and they worried for Cooper's safety. They saw him being shuffled around by another mysterious being, "COOPER!" Everyone shouted in fear.
Luckily, his screaming transitioned into a section of laughter. Cooper shifted toward the light and revealed some sort of animal on top of him, "STOP! Please I beg!" He cackled non-stop, the creature licked his face and left glitter marks on it.
The group groaned in unison, Chenille went forward and said, "You really gave us that big of a scare, for this?"
"Hey! He's not just this!" Cooper finally said something as he recomposed himself and picked the animal up, "He's my new pet."
"A new pet?" Biggie was the first one to react, how come, someone, found a pet?
"Well, yeah!" Cooper showed the pig-like creature, that mostly behaved like a dog, "I named him Squeal! Isn't he just adorable?"
They could not deny that the animal was divinely cute, everyone was awed except for Biggie, who had a bit of skepticism. The pig appeared to be around the same size as a trolling, he had purple body made of yarn covered with green spots, toothpick legs, and googly eyes.
"I have to admit Cooper..." Smidge began to caress Squeal, being enchanted by the animal, "You are not alone on this one."
Biggie cleared his throat and spoke, "Guys? Aren't we supposed to be covering for the others?"
"NOT NOW BIGGIE!" The twins yelled at him, they were all very busy at the moment.
"YOU THERE!" A commanding voice shouted from behind their backs, the group looked at the origin of the voice in despair. The towering individual marched toward the group intending to address them for crime, "That specimen you're interacting with should be contained. Now that you released it, you will be placed in court."
Meanwhile, on another section of the space station, the operations team sneakily walked to the control section of the ship. Queen Primrose emerged from behind a pillar as two Clayliens passed by, she quickly rolled toward the hallway and hid behind a wall. She whistled and called for the others, one of her Geckos followed immediately after, Poppy imitated her mother's moves, Branch utilized his techniques, DJ Suki carefully leaped from side to side and Supergleam glided toward them with no struggle.
"According to my holo map." Primrose informed her teammates as she showed them her pocket-sized device, "We're approaching the control center, there we should find some information on where we can find it."
"Great. Let's go." Branch continued further down the hallway with no fear, they skeptically followed him but with zero intentions of trusting his impulsive decision. Poppy attempted to snatch him before he went there unaccompanied, "Branch, wait!"
Branch almost nearly wandered into the control room a place filled with guards. DJ Suki closed her eyes and said in panic, "He's gonna get caught!"
"Not on my watch." Superglleam showed off her gadgets and shot a grappling hook at Branch, snatching him back to the group. She blew her blaster and smirked at Suki.
Branch glared at his accompaniments, "I was gonna make it!" He pouted almost like a child, it had been a while since he acted so childishly.
"Well done, Supergleam." Primrose approved of her actions and then switched her eyes to the Gecko, "Phil, do you mind dozing the guards?"
The Gecko nodded and ran into battle, he pulled out two water pistols and aimed at the two guards. He then realized his pistols would not harm them because they were water pistols. Phil gulped and did the best thing he could do to help the others, he ran and distracted the guards.
"Will he be okay?" Poppy asked in her usual queenly self, of course, she'd worry about him.
Queen Primrose nodded, "Of course he will. My boys are not weak, they know well."
The group then cornered the control room, and the lady on the counter continued to type onto the command panel. DJ Suki then unplugged the lady's headphones and caught her attention, "You should have a better taste in music..."
The desk lady flinched back and widened her eyes, "Trolls!" She covered her mouth, "You shouldn't be here..."
"Surprise then!" Poppy tried to threaten her, but unfortunately, this wasn't her best attribute,.
Branch cleared his throat and aimed a banana at her, "You will comply with our orders, as-tu compris?"
Supergleam let out a disappointed sigh, "Don't mind that last part. But you heard him."
"Why should I take you seriously?" The desk lady glared at them, clearly not understanding the meaning of their presence.
"Nebulady." Primrose spoke with certainty and intimidation, "Just do as we ask, and you might leave this place with no harm."
Nebulady, the nebula cloud woman from the space asteroid. She was hired by this company to have a real job, but now she came face to face with the most feared space wandered there's ever been. She had no choice but to follow her demands.
