This is the Final Installment in my series. Lots of OC's, and 100% AU/AT, whatever you want to call it. First chapter is a GO!
Skipper walked down the muddy embankment. The work was hard, and long. His only reason for going on was the competitive urge deep within. He was 18.
He was working for the Navy. He was not yet in it, but he was training. Training to be the Best. Skipper knew he could be "The Best" because…. Well, just because. His white feathers were blackened by the mud and grit. He trudged on, hiking. Hiking, all they ever did was hike. Hike, Hike, Hike, shoot, target practice, and real-life scenarios. What could go wrong would go wrong. That was the motto of the sergeant.
There were five altogether in the posse of militant soldiers.
Jack, the egomaniac penguin leader.
Susannah, the white penguin who was part albino. She did not have red eyes, but her feathers were all white. It came in handy when hiding from enemies in the snow, but not much else.
Cole, the new penguin. He was British, but he was very adorable. Something about him gave Skipper the creeps, but he wasn't sure what.
Doris, a dolphin from off the coast of America. She mostly kept to herself, and helped when they could.
The last one was Skipper.
The hike was nearly over. They could see base camp ahead of them. The team was so tired now that they could barely make it down the hill without tripping.
Once in the Base Camp, Sergeant greeted them. "You did well today, men. Take the afternoon off." The team immediately went to their bunks. They were concrete, with a small mattress over top and a pillow. The mattress was not small to the penguins, but it would be to a human.
Skipper thought about the next day. They would be simulating with older soldiers. They would have to do something. They wouldn't say what, which was just fine with skipper. He liked to be surprised. He was ready for anything. He was assigned to a penguin with a strange name – Rico. The very thought of him made his blood run cold. He sounded menacing. Why was he so scared of a Name? He didn't know, and didn't care. He slept.
This was just a quick chapter to introduce some of the characters. Tell me what you think, mainly by reviewing.
