Apricot is held captive in a submersible operated by Damia and Nicola. Tutty and Otter build a vehicle similar to Hoodman’s, while Frog constructs his own to rescue her. The real Ender arrives during this time. Messenger introduces a spider-like vehicle, but Speak thwarts his efforts. Apricot frees herself and escapes into the water using an air balloon. A conflict ensues involving Hoodman, Damia, Tutty, and Otter. The balloon explodes, yet Frog successfully saves Apricot. Damia and Hoodman’s ships collide, causing a massive explosion. The group subsequently reunites with Ender.
