When Ninten gets to the factory, he traverses the maze-like layout of the building to find Lloyd a Bottle Rocket. Inside the abandoned factory, he encounters many [[Rat]]s and strange creatures called [[Barbot]]s. Near the end of the factory, Ninten, confused, has not found the bottle rocket his new found friend hopes for. He decides to look in the only place he hasn't checked yet: the [[Present|trash can]] right next to him. To his relief, he finds the bottle rocket Lloyd has been seeking, and Ninten returns to Twinkle Elementary to return it to him. Lloyd comes out of his hiding place and brings Ninten to the science room with his bottle rocket. He fires it and destroys the room, and decides he wants to fire a bigger bottle rocket. Of course, he knows where to find it, and joins Ninten to go get it.

Lloyd tells Ninten that [[Duncan's Factory]] to the north has the bottle rocket he seeks, so the two follow the nearby train tracks until they have to turn due to a boulder in the path. On the way, Ninten finds an old pass, and decides to keep it in case it could be helpful. When they reach the factory, they are stopped by a [[Stray Dog|guard dog]]. Ninten, using his Telepathy, learns that the pass was to the factory and that it had expired. The dog attacks Ninten and Lloyd, but easily falls to the hands of the youths. Inside the factory, Ninten and Lloyd find a gigantic labyrinth of a workplace. After a while, at the end of the factory, the duo find a room holding many rocket launchers, one holding a big bottle rocket. Lloyd fires it, and conveniently it destroys the boulder blocking the path to the [[Union Station]], where they can continue to find more parts of Queen Mary's song.
