After defeating Jokertu, everyone gathered into the main control room. Everyone stared at Koko Ci, who was busy typing on the keypads. Boboiboy then decided to step in and ask, "How's it going, commander?" The alien hummed.

"Everything's safe for now. There's no damage. But TAPOPS space station isn't out of danger yet." He stated firmly, the others looked at each other in confusion. "Huh? In danger? What's wrong?" Yaya and Ying questioned in unison.

"The identity of TAPOPS space station may have been compromised." He replied to the two girls. "And we don't have enough manpower to defend it." [Y/n] added.

Gopal sighed in exaggeration. "Dey, what's all the fuss? Just tell CardBot to change everyone who got turned into cards back to normal again." Both [Y/n] and Fang looked at each other before sighing at his statement.

"CardBot doesn't have enough energy for that. He's just changed us back to normal after all." Fang said, and the feline nodded in agreement. "And it can take a while for CardBot to recharge, especially because Jokertu overused him." [Y/n] added, her arms crossed, still slightly frustrated that she got trapped in the card.

"Hold on. What do you mean by 'TAPOPS space station identity'"? The brunette questioned, and Koko ci merely chuckled. "Come see for yourself." He stated before pressing a button, and from the glass, they could see the lights flickered on.

The team, except for [Y/n] and Fang, rushed over to the window. They gasped at the view before them. Hundreds of washing machines were lined up in sequence, and the clothesline was crisscross all over the expanded room.

Boboiboy blinked in confusion and scratched his head. "Why are there so many washing machines?" He questioned. "This looks like a laundromat." Gopal stated the obvious, his eyes scanning the place displayed in front of them.

"That's because IT IS." Koko ci said as he got off his chair and walked over to the group. "Huh? It is?" The Y duo repeated. They then heard a scoff and looked over at the shadow manipulator. "You little kiddies know nothing." He said, his tone unimpressed. [Y/n] nudged him a little, not liking his attitude.

"A galactic laundromat is the space station's cover identity." Koko ci informed, putting back his sunglasses. "A laundromat? A cover?" Boboiboy muttered, and next to him, Gopal also seemed confused. "Why do we need a cover?" He questioned.

Fang sighed once more, but [Y/n] decided to speak up. "TAPOPS is an organization that tracks down power spheras. If we don't keep up a good cover, it'll be easy for others to come after the space station." She explained as she and Fang walked over to the group.

Yaya smiled before saying, "It's a brilliant idea." Ying then decided to speak as well. "But why must it be a laundromat? Why not something else?" She asked in pure confusion on why they decided on a laundromat.

Koko ci puts on another pair of shades, and [Y/n] begins to question how many shades their commander has. "A laundromat is the BEST cover. Many travel the galaxies don't have time to do their laundry. Thus, they require the services of a galactic laundromat in order to clean their dirty clothes." He said.

"Eeek! So stinky!"

[Y/n] ignored him and decided to continue for their commander. "In the guise of chatting with the customers, we're able to glean useful Intel," She added and glanced at Fang, who took out a receipt from his pocket. "And by using these laundry receipts, we can communicate with other TAPOPS members on various covert missions out there." He finished.

"Whoa! That's really clever!"

[Y/n] listened to their continuing conversation and failed to notice a lingering presence right outside the door, who was eavesdropping at their conversation.

"It's unclear how much of TAPOP'S identity has been compromised. I'LL handle the investigation. The rest of you can carry on with the mission." Koko ci stated, and by the word 'mission', Yaya and Ying cheered enthusiastically.

But Koko ci was quick to end their enthusiasm. "Not you two!" The duo saddened. "Aww... but why not?" They asked in an upset tone. "The two of you need to be out here to defend the space station." He said firmly.

Gopal then asks, "What about [Y/n], then?" While the said feline looked at their commander. "[Y/n] will be coming with you for extra manpower." He replied.

"Haiya! Don't we have Captain Papa for that?" Ying said, and the short aline scoffed. "You want to rely on HIM? He made Ochobot teleport him back to Earth. Homesick, he said," [Y/n] sighed through her nose in disbelief.

"Seriously..?"

[Y/n]'s ear twitch, and she looked over her shoulder to see if anyone was listening but found no one. She narrowed her eyes but divert back her full attention to the commander.

"So, what's our mission commander?" Gopal questioned. "The four of you must deliver these bundles of LAUNDRY!" He motioned to the three laundry bags laying on the floor. "Huh?! Laundry delivery?!" He exclaimed, expecting the mission to be cool and adventurous.

The others ignored his outburst. "Where should we deliver them, Commander?" Fang questioned, and the alien went over to the controls. "You'll send them here." The screen showed a brownish yellow planer that was entitled, Dargha'ya.

"Huh?! Planet Dargha'ya? That planet's dangerous!" Fang stated. "Dey. Let's just NOT go if it's so dangerous. I bet the -" Gopal cutted his own words when he felt a shiver down his spine. He glanced to the feline who was glaring at him from beside Fang.

"Hehe, never mind!"

Koko ci wrote something on the receipt before going down on the floor and sticking it to one of the bundles. He then went over to [Y/n] and whispered something to her, to which the feline nodded.

"Where should we send these to, Commander?" Boboiboy asked, ignoring the fact that the alien shared something to the feline. "THAT you don't need to know, [Y/n] will handle that." The brunette looked over at the female, who only smiled at him, and he blushed a little.

"Just go to the designated location and leave them there." He stated, and the four did the signature salute.

"Oh right, one more thing. DON'T let these bundles get dirty.. NOT EVEN A LITTLE."

[Y/n], Boboiboy, Gopal, and Fang were now making their way to the designated planet. Fang was steering the ship, while the other three were seated near him. The ship was quiet when the food manipulator decided to break it.

"Why did the commander insist that we mustn't let these get dirty?" He inquired. "Hey. Just follow his orders. Don't ask questions." Fang uttered out, but they seemed to ignore his last statement. "What's so dangerous about planet Dargha'ya, Fang?" Boboiboy asked, and the raven haired got put up. "Sheesh. I just said NOT to ask questions."

"Are there evil spirits?"

"Is the atmosphere unbreathable?"

"Are there space bears?!"

"Is it filled with poisonous gas?!"

Both Boboiboy and Gopal pressed Fang, and the boy got even more frustrated and snapped. "Ugh! NONE OF THOSE THINGS." His outburst caused [Y/n] to snap out of her daydreaming.

"That planet's as good as dead! THAT'S why it's so dangerous! Its forests are barren, and it reeks of death and decay." He exclaimed in irritation. "Huh?! Death and decay..?" Boboiboy and Gopal looked at each other.

Gopal, being the scaredy-cat that he is, exclaimed in a panic tone. "Who the heck would willingly live in such a place?! It's got to be GHOSTS, Fang!" He went over and cling to his shoulder.

"You coward..!" Fang pushed his head. "Just let Boboiboy and me... Huh?!" The raven haired boy turned to look at the brunette, but he was already clinging to the [h/c]nette.

"Let's just go home, [Y/n]! There are ghosts! Let's go home! Come on!" He pleaded and pulled the female's wrist. Gopal and Fang stared at their friend with a deadpan expression. "What in the world..?" Fang muttered, not believing what he was witnessing right now.

Gopal smirked and whispered something to the raven haired. The shadow manipulator grinned at the new found information and glanced back at Boboiboy, who was still pulling on [Y/n]'s wrist. The said female sighed before patting his head in a comforting manner, unaware of Gopal and Fang's smirk.

They are also unaware that Adudu's spaceship was following them not too far away.

True to Fang's words. The planet has a surreal landscape with twisted purple vines, spiky branches, and a glowing yellow-green sky, evoking an eerie, otherworldly vibe.

"There's no suitable spot to land this thing." Fang stated, staring at the screen. "Listen up, crew!" He exclaimed, which caught the others' attention. "Your captain wants you to find him a good landing spot." He commanded, and Gopal and Boboiboy didn't look pleased at all.

"Huh? Since when are YOU captain?" Boboiboy questioned in annoyance. "Uh-Huh! [Y/n] is more capable of being a captain than you." Gopal stated, and the female only sighed, not wanting to join in their conversation.

Fang huffed. "I'M the one piloting the ship, aren't I? That makes ME captain," He said in a matter of fact tone. Gopal scoffed at his statement. "Don't get a head of yourself. You're just a chauffeur."

Suddenly, Boboiboy's voice cut their tension. "There! Over there! We can land there, Captain!" He exclaimed in enthusiasm. Gopal and [Y/n] stared at him in disbelief.

"Excellent. Well done, ensign!" Fang praised, making Boboiboy chuckle sheepishly. The food lover nudges his friends shoulder. "Hey! What's up with you?" Gopal asked, staring at his friend with an irritated expression.

Boboiboy looked at him in confusion. "What..? The Captain praised me. What about it?" He said, and before Gopal could utter another word, the spaceship landed slowly at the spot the brunette pointed at.

They all got out of the ship, with Fang carrying the smallest of the bundles, while Gopal and Boboiboy carried the bigger one. Both boys had a deadpan look on their faces. "Let's go. On my lead." Fang said, and the three followed closely from behind.

As they walked deeper into the dense forest, Gopal quickly went over to Boboiboy in fear. "Eek! This place gives me the creeps, Boboiboy." He whimpered, and the said boy looked at his friend with an annoyed look.

[Y/n] ignored him and asked, "How much further, Fang?" The said boy looked at his watch, that has a compass to direct where their going. "I think it's just beyond this forest-"

Suddenly, a heavy footstep was heard from behind them. The group quickly turned around to find nothing but trees. "What was that?!" Gopal asked in a frenzy as he hid behind [Y/n]. "It's probably nothing.. Come on, let's finish this mission." Boboiboy stated.

Gopal followed behind him, but [Y/n] seemed to be staring at a particular tree. Boboiboy noticed that the feline was not following them and stopped in his tracks. "Is there something wrong, [Y/n]?" He questioned.

The feline only shook her head. "It's nothing. Let's keep moving." She said and walked beside Boboiboy, who had a goofy smile on his face. Gopal sighed at his best friend's antics. "He's so obvious."

As they started walking away, they failed to notice that the tree, the one [Y/n] was staring at, moved from its place.

The group continued their journey, and the forest began to become even more creepier as they moved forward. [Y/n] couldn't shake the feeling of something following them and at the same time watching their every move.

Everyone stopped in their tracks when they heard a deep screaming that echoed through the dense forest. Both Boboiboy and Gopal seemed freaked out, while Fang and [Y/n] were calm about it.

"What was that sound, Boboiboy!?" Gopal was quick to hide behind the brunette, who was also freaked out by the sound. "Sheesh! There's nothing to be scared about. That's probably just the wind." Fang stated in confidence.

Suddenly, the tree behind him and [Y/n] moved to reveal a monster that lowly growled at them. The monster let out a loud roar, scaring the poor boy.

In a flash, Fang ran at full speed. "It's a tree demon! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!" He exclaimed, having animated tears in his eyes. [Y/n] was about to attack the monster when Boboiboy pulled her arm. "Let's retreat [Y/n]!"

Boboiboy, [Y/n], and Gopal managed to catch up to Fang, who was still terrified from the encounter. Boboiboy let go of the felines arms and used both hands to secure the bundle of laundry.

"Nothing to be scared about, Huh? Where's all the bravado now?!" Boboiboy said. Gopal glanced back when he heard loud thumps following them. He screamed when the tree was chasing after them.

"How come a TREE'S chasing after us?!"

The four teens ran faster and were able to lose the tree monster. They hid behind another tree, and [Y/n] peeked to see the tree monster searching for them.

"Where is it?!" Gopal whimpered, and [Y/n] was quick to shush him. "Shh! It's right behind us." She said. Gopal gulped and started shaking in fear. "What are we gonna do now?" He questioned. "Just wait till it leaves. And then, we'll make a run for it." Boboiboy replied.

Gopal and [Y/n] noticed a shadow looming over them, and they slowly turned around to see another tree monster. It made a shushing motion to the two, and Gopal tried to reach for Boboiboy, who only nudged Gopal's hand away. While [Y/n] activated her mask.

"Keep it down, Gopal."

The boy only whimpered in return as he cowered in fear. "Why's everyone telling me to be quiet?"

[Y/n] Round house kicked the tree monster with immense force and sent it flying away from them. The two boys were alarmed by the sudden action and turned around to see the chubby tree monster running towards them before eating Gopal's upper body.

"GOPAL!!"

"Help! HELP ME!"

The commotion caught the other tree monsters' attention and made its way over to them. "There's another one coming!" Boboiboy mentioned, seeing the tree charging at them.

"Boboiboy! We gotta fight back!" Fang stated, and the brunette couldn't agree more. "Boboiboy triple split!" He split into Earth, Lightning and Leaf.

Lightning and Earth grabbed the two bundles before running to the other direction. "Leaf! Help [Y/n] get Gopal out!" Earth exclaimed.

Fang diverted his attention to the tree monster that was running to them. "Shadow Bear!" A shadow bear materialised on the ground before roaring loudly. "Stop that thing!" The raven haired boy commanded. The shadow bear did what it was told, and their fight began.

Meanwhile, with [Y/n] and Leaf, the feline was using her grabling hook to get Gopal out of the monsters mouth. "Leaf! Create a vine and wrap it around Gopal's body!" She urgently commanded as she tried to keep hold of Gopal.

Leaf nodded and waisted no time and created the binding vines. Both Leaf and [Y/n] pulled, but the monster didn't give up easily, and it pulled Gopal back.

With enough force, Leaf and [Y/n] managed to pull Gopal. But the downside is that he got thrown away. "Oh no..!"

[Y/n] sighed. "I'll go and help Gopal!" She said, and before Leaf could complain, the female had already jumped on a tree and made her way to the food manipulator.

The feline jumped gracefully from tree to tree until she made it to Gopal. Who was lying on top of the bundle. "Gopal! Are you okay?" She genuinely asked as she landed near the boy.

"Ouch...! Do I-" Before Gopal could finish his sentence, a gun was pointed at him. [Y/n]'s two toned eyes narrowed at the newcomers.

"There you are!" Gopal looked up to see Adudu and Probe, who seemed to be sweating and tired. Boboiboy and Fang arrived and were shocked to see the box headed alien with his robot.

"Adudu? Probe? What are you two doing here?" Boboiboy questioned, and [Y/n] hissed at them. "We... we came... to... to make sure you FAIL your mission!" He declared, and the feline slightly flinched at his declaration.

"Gosh, I'm beat!" Adudu suddenly fell on top of a rock from exhaustion, along with his robot companion. "Give us a sec. Let us catch a break. We'll continue after this." The others looked at each other.

10 minutes later, Boboiboy was seating next to [Y/n], while Gopal and Fag sat next with each other. "Prepare yourself, Boboiboy!" Adudu suddenly exclaimed, regaining back his energy.

Boboiboy clicked his tongue in annoyance, before standing up from their sitting position. "Tch. Not even a thank you?" He stated. "Yeah! We let you two rest, didn't we?" Gopal said, resting his hand on his hips.

But the alien couldn't care less. "Hah! Who cares. I'm still gonna
