第17話: エンダーの真の正体が明かされ、ダミアがアプリコットを誘拐する

17

Bosco is situated on a river bank. Damia spies on them from a nearby hill and prepares an intelligent fraud with her accomplices. She launches a signal rocket for Hoodman so he can know where is the Bosco situated. Hoodman then attacks the crew with the same bombs he attacked them in the episode 10. Friends decide to pull the ship deeper into the forest, using ropes and Bosco's landing wheels. After seeing that their bombs explode too early, Hoodman decides to lower his ship down a bit, even though Franz warns them that the forest is rather thick and that they could crash into the trees. Hoodman doesn't follow the advice and eventually the Scorpion crashes into the woods. Friends board the ship. Ender then manages to make friends believe that Frog works secretly for Damia, so Tutty and Otter tie him up and lock him beneath the ship. Bosco approaches a mountain lake. Driving through thick fog, friends don't notice that a huge spiderweb is in front of them, so they get into it. A huge spider-like machine rises from the lake and starts climbing onto the web. The masks are finally taken off - Ender is actually Damia, disguised as him. She kidnaps Apricot and takes her to the vehicle which is controlled by her trusty friend Nicola. Tutty and Otter untie Frog who then tries to save Apricot. Hoodman approaches the site as well and starts attacking Damia. Hoodman's ship eventually crashes, previously setting Bosco free from the web. It then lands undamaged onto the shore. Frog tries to save Apricot, but the spider-like machine goes underwater to the bottom of the lake. (Source: Wikipedia)
