Plot summary
Journey to the Lost Isle
- Main Article: Journey to the Lost Isle
Scrap was discovered aboard the SS Primella after Werther lost his balance while trying to carry a large stack of luggage and crashed into the barrel that Scrap was hiding in. After finding the young Gnorbu, Roxton and Lilian fetched Captain Rourke. The Captain became infuriated after hearing that there was a stowaway aboard his ship. He initially decided to
throw Scrap into the brig and head back to the mainland, however, after Roxton promised to take responsibility for the lad, the Captain begrudgingly agreed to let Scrap tag along on their voyage, on the condition that the boy work to earn his keep.
After the SS Primella crashed on some rocks near the coast of Monster Isle, Roxton, Lilian, Werther, and Hugo decided to go and explore the island, despite Captain Rourke's disapproval. Just as Scrap was about to leave to explore the island with them, he was snagged back by Rourke who demanded that the young Gnorbu stay and help him repair the ship. Before the explorers leave, Rourke told them that, after he fixed the ship, he wouldn't hesitate to leave the island at the first sign of danger. This worried Lilian, but Scrap assured her that he will not let the Captain leave without her.
Some time later, Hugo and Werther returned and told Rourke about the gargantuan Petpetpets that inhabit the island. After hearing the roar of one of these monstrous creatures, Captain Rourke decided to leave, even though Roxton and Lilian had not yet returned. Making good on his promise, Scrap stole the ship's rudder axle and kept it away from the Captain, preventing Rourke from leaving.
Moments later, Roxton and Lilian returned; however, it turns out that they were being chased by several giant, angry Petpetpets. One of these Petpetpets tripped and corners Captain Rourke. Just as the Petpetpet was about to crush Rourke with one of its pincers, Scrap rushed in and knocked Rourke out of the way, saving the Captain's life. While Roxton held off the remaining Petpetpets, Scrap and the Captain head back to the ship and prepared to make way. Werther, Lilian, Hugo, and even Roxton were all able make it aboard the SS Primella before the Rourke sets sail.
At the end of the story, Rourke offered to let Scrap sail with him. The young Gnorbu happily accepts the offer.
