Chapter 1

"Ok Kowalski, I give. What is this new invention of yours?" asked Skipper with a raised brow.

He and Kowalski were standing in the lab of their HQ, looking at a mysterious device on the table. Kowalski has been working on it for a while, but for unknown reasons, he didn't tell any of the penguins what it would be in the end, so all of them had to wait it out.

So when it was finished, Skipper wanted to know what he had to prepare for to save the world this time.

"Well, Skipper I haven't really thought of a name just yet. I didn't even have time to try it out."

"Yeah well, is it dangerous?" Came the second question, interrupting the other.

"No Skipper, I am 97% sure that this is safe." said Kowalski now with his clipboard in hand scribbling down furiously.

"That's 3% too much of a possibility that something bad will happen. And it does…all the time" he added when he saw Kowalski was about to speak, successfully shutting him up for the moment.

Kowalski looked at the floor a little bit sad that Skipper didn't like his inventions. He did his best after all and it's not his fault that they always somehow ended up in some big 'destroying the whole world' scenario. But he was not about to argue with his leader so he just kept quiet.

Skipper seeing the look on his face sighed even louder and shook his head. He wouldn't admit it out loud, but he had a soft spot for the members of his team and seeing any of them sad made him sad too.

"So, what does it do?" he asked and saw Kowalskis head shot up with a big grin on his face and excitement in his eyes.

So he cleared his throat and began explaining.

"You see Skipper I thought about what you said a week ago at dinner and -"

"What? Something was really wrong with that fish. I am sure someone was trying to poison us." said Skipper looking around the lab suspiciously.

"No! Well yeah maybe. But that's not what I meant. You said that we had to do something about Julien and his er ability to compromise almost all of our missions. So I invented this!" said Kowalski lifting his new invention in the air which looked like a gun, only green and with a few cables here and there.

"If I wanted to shoot down Ringtail I would have asked Rico. But that doesn't work. Too much paperwork afterwards." said the leader with a bored tone.

"Riiight. So as I was saying we could use this device to solve our problem."

"I get it Kowalski but what does it do?"

"To make it short: if someone gets hit by this ray they will get immobilized for a short period of time." said the taller one with a satisfied smirk.

Skippers eyes immediately shot to the gun.

"How long does the effect last?" he asked now eagerly.

"Depending on which setting you use. It can be from 5 to 30 minutes."

"Outstanding Kowalski! I like it. I would like it even better if it would last a day but you can't have anything."

"That would be very useful but also very dangerous not be able to move for such a long period of time. It could damage the muscles." added Kowalski with a serious tone just a Private and Rico came in the lab.

"What? More workouts? But Skippa I don't want my muscles damaged." said Private now standing next to his leader. Rico added his "aha" that he agreed.

"You can relax soldier. We were just talking about Kowalskis new invention." said Skipper with a satisfied smirk.

"Uh really? What does it do K'walski?" asked Private jumping up and down clapping his flippers together showing how excited he was.

"Well as I was saying to Skipper. It has the ability to immobilize anything which gets hit by it."

"And we will use it on Ringtail." added Skipper looking at the gun like it was some kind of miracle.

"Oh…but isn't that, you know, dangerous?"

"Private, you always worry too much! I'm sure it will be alright"

"Aren't you just saying that because we can use it on Julien? No offense K'walski."

Kowalski only sighed

"None taken"

"Private you have to admit this is a great opportunity to get Ringtail out of the way when we have important missions to do."

"Well yes, but…"

"Ok then, that's settled boys. Now let's go and try it out."

-;-;-;-;-;

"Higher. Higher. I said higher Maurice! Don't you know what higher means?!" shouted Julien from his throne looking down at the smaller lemur who was trying to put everything under the throne so it would be higher.

"But there is nothing left to put under it your highness." said Maurice a little tired out.

"Oh, Ok then. Be using Mort too. Just this once I will be allowing him to be part of my throne." said Julien, with a wave of his hand.

And like on signal a little brown ball of fur jumped up and began to giggle.

"I like being part of the throne."

Maurice just rolled his eyes as Mort went over to the throne and tried to lift it up but to no avail.

"Mort, I am seeing you are not taking this seriously. So just be stopping. Go in the corner and be thinking about the bad things you have done to your king."

"Yay. I like being in the corner." giggled the lemur as he skipped away to stand in a corner.

"Maurice. Make me a fruity salad. This working makes me hungry."

"Yes your highness." growled the bigger lemur as he went to do his job.

Julien sat a few minutes alone but became bored quite fast.

He sighed a few times before standing up on his throne.

"No. This, me being bored does not work for a king" he said, as he looked over at the penguins habitat.

A grin quickly spread across his muzzle and with a jump, he was out of the lemur habitat. After a little bit of walking, he arrived at the penguins place. Good thing they were neighbors, he thought.

He slid the fishbowl aside and jumped down to find all four penguins near the ladder about to leave.

"Hello silly penguins!" he smiled and waved slightly with his hand. "I was just thinking of visiting you so you could do some entertaining things to entertain me, your king."

Skipper, who was near Julien, smirked.

"Of course, Ringtail. Come in."

"Wait. You are not being angry at me being in here?" he asked with a raised brow.

"No. Why should I be?"

"Because you are always being like that."

"You could say I am in a good mood and we could use your help."

"A king is not helping in anything. You should be helping me not being boredy."

"Kowalski!"

"Yes, well you see Julien. We can help you with your problem with this…ah device" he said as he held the green gun in his flipper.

"Hmm. Are you planning on shooting me to little bitses. That I am not wanting."

"Already tried that." whispered Skipper.

"What?"

"N-nothing! So do you want us to help you against your so called boredom?"

"Oh, Ok. You don't have to be so pushy! You can be helping your king anytime. Ah…only on Mondays I am fully booked. And the Saturdays are my day off."

"Just stand over there already." shouted Skipper already a bit impatient.

Kowalski guided the lemur to a spot and took out his clipboard.

"Just stay there. This will be our X mark." said Kowalski already scribbling.

"Eh? I don't see any X. What X are you talking about?" asked Julien looking around.

"Kowalski."

"Oh there is the X being on the floor. But why do I have to"

He was cut short when a blue ray hit him and he began to glow for a few seconds before falling to the ground not moving.

Kowalski went over to him and checked his pulse and listened to his breathing.

"Ok Skipper he's breathing normally and he has a steady pulse"

"Do I have to be concerned about that statement Kowalski?" asked Skipper tapping his foot on the floor.

"Is he really ok K'walski? You didn't hurt him did you? asked Private stepping closer.

Rico just stared in awe at Julien and the gun in Kowalskis flipper.

"Rest assured Private. He is ok."

"Well, how do we know he's gonna be ok?"

"We just have to wait 5 minutes. Only 3 and a half to go."

They waited patently until the time was up and stared at the lemur, as he began to move.

"Ow. You silly penguin. What was that numbness-ness I have been feeling? And why were you being so close to me and touching me?"

"I was just checking…" Kowalski started but was interrupted by Julien.

"Oh I am understanding. You wanted to touch the king that way. Am I right?"

"N-no I was just"

"No need to be shy. I am very attractive, I know."

"No Ringtail. Kowalski was"

"Ooh. So you are being jealousy because you wanted to be touching me, yes." he said moving closer to Skipper.

All four penguins just stared wide eyed. Not one word leaving their beaks.

"Yes. I am being so attractive, they can't even talk anymore. So next time you be wanting something from me, do not be using that because it makes me too thirsty. So I will be leaving now. Bye-bye silly penguins."

With that he leapt out and closed the entrance.

Many minutes passed until someone spoke.

"O-k what just happened?" asked Kowalski looking at the others for answer.

"I dunno" came the only reply from Rico.

So yeah. First chapter. I hope you like ^^
