12 NEED A LIFT BATTLE STATION!

CHAPTER 12 NEED A LIFT? Climb onto that forklift!" shouted Ms. Vanderpants. She pointed to a broken-down piece of machinery in the weedy parking lot. "We need to leave FAST! That collapsed factory won't hold the monsters for long!" Alexander, Rip, and Nikki squeezed into the forklift's seat as the army of monsters began rising from the rubble. "I'll power this thing," said Ms. Vanderpants. "Ripley, you steer." "Woo-hoo!" Rip shouted "Wait where are we going?"

第十二章需要搭车吗？爬上那辆叉车！” Vanderpants。她指着杂草丛生的停车场里一台坏掉的机器。 “我们得赶快离开！”那座倒塌的工厂关不了怪物多久的！”亚历山大、里普和尼基挤进了铲车的座位，怪物大军开始从废墟中崛起。 “我来给它供电，”她说。 Vanderpants。“雷普利，你来掌舵。” “啊!”里普喊道：“等等，我们要去哪儿？”

"To school," said Ms. Vanderpants. "It's 4:00, so the students should all be gone." Four o'clock?! thought Alexander. Less than an hour until I turn eight! Ms. Vanderpants crouched down and began spinning like a ball. She rolled against the forklift and ball-spun it forward at rocket speed. Alexander and Nikki held on tight as Rip steered the forklift over sidewalks, through a fountain, and across downtown Stermont. By 4:03, the forklift skidded to a stop, right in front of Stermont Elementary. "Excellent work, Ripley Bonkowski," said Ms. Vanderpants. "Now, everyone inside!"

“去学校，”范德帕斯说。 4点了，学生应该都走了 四点? !认为亚历山大。 还有不到一个小时我就满八岁了！Ms。 范德培斯蹲下来，开始像球一样旋转起来。 她撞在铲车上，以火箭般的速度旋转着前进。 当瑞普驾驶着铲车驶过人行道，穿过喷泉，穿过斯特蒙特市中心时，亚历山大和尼基紧紧地抓着他们。 到4点03分，铲车在斯特蒙特小学门前打滑停了下来。 “干得好，雷普利·邦科夫斯基。” Vanderpants。“现在，所有人都进去！”

The S.S.M.P. ran into the lobby. Alexander could hear the rumbling of a monster stampede in the distance. "We shouldn't have come here!" said Nikki. "We've led the monsters straight to our brand- new school!" Ms. Vanderpants smiled. "This isn't a school. It's a fortress." Seconds later, a wave of monsters smashed through the doors. Ms. Vanderpants flipped a switch on the side of a water fountain.

党跑进了大厅。 亚历山大可以听到远处有怪物踩踏的隆隆声。 “我们不应该来这里！”妮基说。 “我们把怪物直接引到了我们的新学校！”Ms。 Vanderpants笑了。“这不是学校。 这是一座堡垒。”几秒钟后，一群怪物冲进了门。 范德帕斯女士拨动了饮水机一侧的开关。

Spiky cement balls dropped from the ceiling, crushing the monsters. "Amazing!" Rip cheered. "You bowled five strikes, all at once!" "This way hurry!" said Ms. Vanderpants. She twisted a fire extinguisher. VRRT! A hidden panel slid open, revealing an elevator. "Awesome!" said Nikki. There was only one button in the secret elevator. Ms. Vanderpants pressed it with her horn. On the ride up, the S.S.M.P. peppered their principal with questions.

尖尖的水泥球从天花板上掉下来，压碎了怪物。 “神奇!”Rip欢呼。“你一次投了五次全中！”“这边快！” Vanderpants。她拧了拧灭火器。 VRRT !一个隐藏的嵌板滑开，露出了一部电梯。 “太棒了！”尼基说。秘密电梯里只有一个按钮。 范德帕斯用她的喇叭按了一下。 在路上，S.S.M.P. 向他们的校长提出一连串问题

If you're on our side, then why did you hire monsters to work here? Gym Teacher: Fish-kabob Cafeteria Workers/Nurse: Meat-eating veggie Classroom Teacher: Super-goop Those monsters tricked me. I was focused on catching the boss-monster. We were lucky you three figured out their identities before any students were eaten. What is the boss-monster's weakness? I don't know. The gloomp seems unstoppable. Why was our original school building knocked down? The one before the hospital? It had become infested with forkupines. I had to knock it down to get rid of them! But I kept one around, to see if I could train it. That is also when I decided to design our new school to be the ultimate monster battle station. DING! The elevator doors slid open. The S.S.M.P. found themselves in the principal's office.

如果你站在我们这边，那你为什么雇怪物来这里工作？ 体育老师：鱼串食堂工人/护士：肉食素食老师：超级粘稠那些怪物骗了我。 我专注于抓boss怪物。 幸运的是你们三个在学生被吃掉前查出了他们的身份。 boss怪物的弱点是什么？ 我不知道。这种低迷似乎不可阻挡。 为什么我们原来的校舍被拆掉了？ 去医院前的那个？ 这里到处都是叉叉船。 我不得不拆掉它来赶走他们！但我留了一只，看看能不能训练它。 这也是我决定把我们的新学校设计成终极怪物战斗站的时候。 丁!电梯门滑开了。 S.S.M.P.来到了校长办公室。
