It was a peaceful day in the ocean. The Octonauts were having a big feast on their day off, so everyone was preparing. The food was going to be prepared later by the Vegimals, so they were out with Tweak collecting food materials. Captain Barnacles was talking to Tweak on the camera.

"How are you doing with collecting stuff for the feast?"

Tweak looked up at him from the screen.

"Nearly done, Cap! We just need to get one more ingredient. From the Midnight Zone."

"Are you sure about going into the Midnight Zone on your own? Maybe you should take someone with you."

Tweak shook her head.

"Don't worry about me Cap, we'll be back here with the Deep Sea Cave algae faster than you can say 'a bunch of munchy crunchy carrots!'"

"Okay. Barnacles out." Barnacles knew what a dangerous place the Midnight Zone was. But Tweak and the Vegimals were only down there for a few minutes. it would be fine. He went to see how the feast preparations were going on.

Tweak zipped down in the Gup D. The vegimals were holding on to the outside of it , watching the water get blacker by the second and chattering excitedly. As they reached the bottom, a big sea cave could be seen. Tweak drove into the mouth of it, igniting the lights to show them the way. Tunip chattered loudly when the first big rocks ahead could be seen. Tweak stopped, allowing the Vegimals to tumble off and land on the rocky ground.

"Looks like this is what we need, Vegimals! All we need to do is turn these rocks over and collect the algae from underneath." The Vegimals lined up with their buckets, ready to scrape the algae from the rocks. Tweak activated the grabbers on the Gup D to grab the rocks. She started lifting massive rocks and placing them on the ground for then Vegimals to scrape. When they had got many buckets of algae and all the rocks that Tweak could lift had been scraped clean, Tweak mopped her brow.

"Are we done? We've got lots of algae now."

Tunip looked at the buckets. They weren't quite full. He chattered to Tweak.

"We need a bit more? Well, I'll go further into the cave and get some more rocks. You wait here." Tweak ventured into the deep dark cave, leaving the Gup D behind. It wasn't thin enough to fit into the small gap of the back of the cave. She had been going for a few minutes when her helmet light went out and she was left in blackness.

"Oh no! How am I going to get back now?"

She wandered around trying to find any light she could. She dislodged a rock or two, by bumping into the cave walls. Dodging these, she bumped into the ceiling by swimming up. Rocks started to fall. Tweak dodged most of them, but one big one hit her hard. She fell down with it and landed with her paw under the rock.

"Whoa!" She tried to get up, but her paw was firmly stuck and the rock refused to move. What would she do now?
