Early Birdie

    Claudio McAwesome maneuvered to land on Dohp.  She was about to deploy the landing gear when Teddy, who had been tied up, jumped into her and knocked her off of the controls.  He took them and crashed the ship quite brutally, totaling it.  Claudio McAwesome got up and whacked him on the head.  She brought him out of the ship and dropped him on the ground.  Then she walked down to a nearby shuttle-bus, which everyone was on.
    “RoboRabbit,” she said.
    “Claudio McAwesome!  You made it back here!  Now you can help us get off this planet.  Where's you're ship?”
    “Teddy caused me to crash it.  I brought him here to strand him on Dohp.”
    “An excellent idea.  Unfortunately, we cannot figure out how to get this shuttle-bus to move.  It seems that you are stuck here too.”
    “Nonsense,” replied Claudio McAwesome.  “You selected a planet to go to, right?”
    “Left,” confirmed RoboRabbit.
    “Well, now we just have to power it.”
    “How? There seems to be no fuel tank.”
    “Have you ever thought of singing?” asked Claudio McAwesome.  “I know it's a post-movie Spongebob reference, but it might work.”
    “That would be very obvious.  It's worth a shot.”
    Then the music started playing.  It is a song you might have heard before, with the same title as this chapter, and after a few measures, RoboRabbit began to sing, and the shuttle-bus lifted off and flew to Iohsw.  And while I am not going to put the lyrics, please take a moment to listen to or sing this song before continuing on to the end of the chapter.

    The shuttle-bus landed on Iohsw and the door opened.  Then everyone and RoboRabbit got off, Costa Lxodi getting off first and backing some distance from the shuttle-bus so none would get burned.  Then they all set out right for the castle that formerly belonged to Teddy so they could reclaim the planet from there.  When they arrived they found Oapsuf covered in blood and close to death.
    “Oapsuf!” cried Claudio McAwesome, rushing to him.
    “It's no use,” said Oapsuf.  “I must go.”
    “No,” said RoboRabbit.
    “What?” interjected Claudio McAwesome.
    “If necessary, I can transfer my life into him,” replied RoboRabbit.  “If you really want to live, Oapsuf, I can make it happen.”
    “No,” said Claudio McAwesome.  “You don't have to do this.  You've got a planet to look after.  You are needed.”
    “The choice is yours,” said Oapsuf.  “Only one of us can live.  What will your choice be?”
    “Live, RoboRabbit,” said Claudio McAwesome.  “You must make the right decision here, not the left one.”
