Somewhere in the anteriopassageways, the marks Magical Jasper had drawn on the walls (as guidance) had gotten mixed up and she ended up where she had started, tripping over her fellow MG as the hippy lay prone on the floor, lost in a drugged stupor.

The voice of Riddle echoed through the pipeworks, clanging and banging as the waves of sonified energy reached his ears. Captain Tailos turned aboutface, hustling across to where he'd heard the voice from - one of the hatchways above him.
"Riddle! Down here!"
The Dirk was safe for now, he contemplated, and Suienheimer wouldn't be able to slow the mission down. Outside the vessel, Katamari V disappeared, sucked into the webclastic intake port.
And he didn't see it occur as the captain climbed a flight of rungs.

"Yikes!"
Magical Jasper sat up and tried to figure out where she'd heard the Captain's voice from.
Above?

kitedragon Meanwhile, an odd looking boy with golden hair flew behind Dybael. Raising his hands, Kite de Diablo gave Dibby a strong punch in the head, followed by a few kicks and maybe a knee. "Sorry!" He yelled only a few inches from Dibby's left ear. "I ate something funny and was catapulted by a pack of cats!"
But since this boy had a reasonable number of limbs and an absense of tentacles, pincers, or claws, Dybael decided he was probably okay.
"Cats? Sounds rough. I was just trying to escape a potentially exploding spaceship."
Dybael poked the paisley koala, which was nibbling on her hair.

"Under here!"
Beneath the prone Dybael, a hatch moved.

Magical Jasper moved M. Dybael aside and helped lift the hatch. "However did you get down there?"

The Grand Kowatzitz watched the crew of the Crozuilus scramble to the aid of the General Derelict from a platform above them. She did not like the idea of Katamaris being used, not at all, especially if they could defeat Andro-Tobor so easily.
He will be rebuilt immediately. We must retrieve the Vorpal Dirk, and I have Magical Girls to kill.

"Spaceship? Surely neither of us got drunk enough to be used as space experiments by the government, right? Speaking of getting drunk, how can that paisley koala exist? In fact, where are we?" Looking around, Kite saw some wierd shapes, with a few looking just like giraffes with tentacles.
Thinking it over, Kite couldn't remember the last time he woke up. Or got drunk with a girl. Staring at Dybael again, "Are you real?"

Despite the calculizations of the Andro-Tobors, they did not realize what sort of entropy the sudden creation and equally sudden blinking-out of a star would spawn.
As a result, in the wake of their flogromatic engines firing, the intraverse where the star had been began to collapse, forming something worse than even a supermassive black hole:
A quadrynord.
It was virtually unheard of in historispacial record, but one spaceforger's tale said that quadrynords could swallow several galaxies in a few minutes. It began sucking up everything around it, including Helionsolopolis MXXVI.
Meanwhile, on the Andro-Tobor ship, the Andro-lifiers worked hard at restoring the General Derelict. With his soulmemorex codec saved in the datalogarithms of the Grand Andro-Tobor Comptroller, they were able to do so rather quickly; simple surgerepair and fusioncloggering was all that was needed to revive the military master of the robotic race.
Alliteration, then, became the solution to all of their problems.

With the rather heavy load lifted from atop the hatch -- later discovered to be a previously unknown element of drug-addled Dybaelium -- Tailos climbed out of the thin hatchway.
"Thanks; I have no idea how. Katamaris like to demolecularise themselves and disappear between floors to pick up things, though. Maybe that's how."
He paused, regarding the unconscious magical Rocker, "Do we snap her out of that, or just leave her? She looks sort of like she's enjoying herself in the Hippy Astral."
The rumble of the quadrynord formation rocked the ship, several times. "What's going on?" he exclaimed half in shock, "Sounded like the stabilisers have been cut..."

Jasper blinked. "Cut? What could have done that--spascissors?"

"What? No, I'm a Corporal on the Starship Soulbounty. No governmental abductions involved.
As for where we are--" Dybael paused here to kick a tentacle off her shoulder-- "This is the Astral Plane. I spent long hours training here to pass my Hippie final exams, but if you're not used to the place it could be kind of dangerous, I guess. The Astral Plane connects drugged-out minds everywhere, regardless of how noneuclidean their normal geometries may be. It gets kind of crazy around here."

The Captain gave a rather overdramatic nod of all seriousness. "Giant spascissors could be the cause, Riddle. Think we ought'a get back to the bridge and see what's--"
Another ripple of the emerging Fold in space shook the ship. Alarms began to emit piercing wails, and a digitolocalised computer voice began to read out warnings.

"This isn't good, is it?" Jasper stared down at her prone companion.
"And the ship is still going to asplode!"

Kali suddenly appeared on the ship. Just poofed right into the middle of everything. She looked around and blinked, utterly confused for just a moment.
"ALL RIGHT! Whose "hilarious" idea was it to poof me onto yet another random spaceship AGAIN? What is this, time number 100? 110? 111?"
