Snurple came down the moderate staircase that led to the lower floor. Syrig followed, although she found it a bit hard to go down the stairs.

Frupplex88 and Naturo10 were there.

As soon as Syrig reached the lower floor, she started running around in circles, squeaking in enormous alarm, which caused even the sleepy Lizzie to wake up.

Naturo10 shot up with a start. “What! What’s going on?!”

Syrig did not stop until Frupplex88 gave them some carrots. Snurple assumed that he had gotten the alien vegetables from his own world, because the only greenhouse capable of supporting them on the island was one in Donut’s Clan.

Once they quietened down, Frupplex88 proceeded to answer. “I just told you. Everyone got depowered during the battle. It hardly has any effect on you, or Snowy, or Furrki, but anyone with control of special forces, Espi or otherwise, is unable to use their powers. Of course, there are other side effects…”

Snurple realised that this was why he felt so sick and dizzy.
