Wilde skillfully docked the balloon to Sidewinder’s zeppelin as Billy, Bell, and Verne watched the horde of clones (some of them clones of Billy, Bell, Verne, and Wilde themselves) pour out of the zeppelin towards the steam powered land octopus.

Meanwhile, Sidewinder made a mad dash against time, and more importantly, against large quantities of dynamite. He entered the gunner deck, spotting numerous holes through which he could make his escape. He stepped forward only to halt his advance as the steam powered robotic bear gun crew stepped in between Sidewinder and his escape. They snarled and roared as steam seeped out of their robotic joints.

Grabbing a nearby harpoon gun Sidewinder attached his steam powered lasso to the end of the harpoon and aimed above all the bears’ heads to the outside world. At that moment a large and magnificent falcon flew by. Sidewinder fired, hit the beast in the breast, and let himself be pulled up and above the bears below, who snarled in aggrivation. Captain Sidewinder squeezed smoothly out of the octopus cannon window (much more smoothly than this sentence was constructed) and flew towards his zeppelin as the self destruct sequence in the steam powered land octopus began to detonate, metallic suction cups flying everywhere.

Captain Sidewinder used his steam power telepathy to communicate with the falcon. He directed it over his zeppelin. Letting go of the rope he landed on the deck at the same moment as the Ocotpus fell and exploded. Our team of heroes stood in awe. Wilde shot Sidewinder’s crotch with his steam powered water pistol.
