Chapter 7 Summary: “The Darkness”

Petey and Piggy keep fighting in their respective giant robots until Piggy stops and suggests that Petey should ditch Li’l Petey, whom he suggests is irritating and wimpy, and join forces with Piggy.

Petey tells Piggy not to talk about his son that way and quickly corrects himself by saying that Li’l Petey is his clone, not his son.

Piggy pushes the giant Petey cat into a building and goes to retrieve Crunky and Bub, who are catching fireflies with Li’l Petey. Li’l Petey irritates Piggy with continual “why” questions, leading Piggy to justify why he is a bad guy: “Because we have difficulty controlling our emotions!!!” (182).

Crunky and Bud vote to have Li’l Petey become their new leader, but Piggy angrily tells them that it’s not a democracy. In the Robo-Brontosaurus, Piggy flings Dog Man into a building. It is a building filled with Cannery Grow, and Dog Man grows to an enormous size.

Meanwhile, Piggy asks Li’l Petey and 80-HD if they have any last words. Li’l Petey gets inside 80-HD, and they fly to a store where they get brown spray paint. They return and spray paint the Robo-Brontosaurus brown and label it “squirrel,” drawing on squirrel features with crayons.
