Now all that was left was for the gang to find the one map they still didn’t have and also to get the 2 artifacts from Smack-Smork. Bird quickly landed the ship at the place where the pirates fired the Energy Cube’s beam from. There was a lot of wreckage and robot parts. As soon as they landed, the tiny bears left behind from the Bear Bullets started ripping up their ship and within seconds it was no more.

“Well that most certainly isn’t good,” said Plagiarize.

“Good thing we still have this!” said Hoofa, holding their Bear Phone. “If this bad boy gets lost, we’re screwed.”

“May I have that, yo?” asked Bird. “We oughta tell the Bearmy of our predicament.”

“Why do you always have to be the one to call them?” asked Hoofa, pressing the Bear Dialing Button. “I shall do it this time!”

“Well, you have a tendency to… uh… mess things up?”

Just then, the Bear Phone slipped from Hoofa’s paws and landed on the ground. On the way down, it hit Gumpton’s back. This startled the elephant, causing him to jump. His foot landed on the Bear Phone and crushed it.

“Okay, before you say anything, that was literally Gumpton’s fault, bro,” said Hoofa.

“Well there goes our chances of being rescued by the Bearmy,” said Bird. “I suppose we’ll just have to look around and see what we can find.”

The gang once again found themselves on Smack-Smork. They were in a big field of snow with robotic ruins all around them. All around them in the distance were very large mountains. Upon this ring of mountains stood a wall. At many different points along this wall, towers poked up higher than the surrounding mountains. These towers had many spiky points. Before them, in the middle of the valley, stood a fortress of tall points and thick walls. All around them in the field of snow that they were in were wrecked mouse-mechs. On top of the wreckage of the EBAFM™ stood the Energy Cube. Klumpkrump picked it up.

“Well, we’re most certainly unstoppable now,” she said.

“We should totally not tell anyone about this,” said Plagiarize. “Like, not even the bears.”

“But why not??” asked Klumpkrump, who was a cat.

“Because if they learn about it then they’ll want to use it for themselves because it’s super powerful.”

“Maybe we should let ‘em,” said Mushpuff. “We have the artifacts and they have the cube. An unstoppable force!”

“NOOOO!” shouted Klumpkrump. “I don’t wanna give it up!!”

“Let’s tell them after we rescue DeBear’s clone, yo,” suggested Bird. “It leaves time for you to have it and then we can give it to the bears. Besides, you’ll have an artifact of your own.”

“Alright then,” said Klumpkrump. “Genius plan.”

“So how are we gonna find the artifacts?” asked Snorter.

“Mmmm, well, a bear finds it likely that artifactz would be ztored in the lizard fortrezz, yez?” said Qaeron.

“Is that what that is?” asked Snorter, pointing to the fortress that stood before them.

“Mmmm…” said Qaeron, tilting his head at various angles as he looked at the fortress. He held out his paws and did some complex bear stuff. “Yez, yez, thiz is it,” said the bear.

“Well let’s go in before I freeze into a solid block of ice!” said Plagiarize.

“Blocks of ice can only ever be solid,” said Snorter.
