MS: Hey people, MS here!! This is a sort of story involved with an oc I have for Penguins of Madagascar. And no, I am, in no way, the oc in this story. Sure our names are similar….and we both love coffee, but he is not me. (ahem) Now that that is out of the way, let's begin the story!! Also, this will sort of be a PoM and Halo crossover.

(note: PoM and Halo belong to Dreamworks and Bungie respectively)

Maverick's PoV:

Uh, hello? Anyone reading this? This sort of recorder thing? I…think it's working. Well, If it's not, I'll get Kowalski to help out later. Well, Skipper told me to do this weird autobiography thing so that in case I go missing or any crazy crap like that, the people will get to know me. Isn't that what friends and family are for, though? Uh, I should probably start now. Hey people, the name's Maverick the Wolf!........I have nothing else to say from this point. Well anyway, time to get on with this. I should probably start with the beginning……………….

(chapter 1: From Forest to Shelter, and on to Disaster: part 1)

In a small forest in the reaches of America, there was a large rock. From beneath this rock, rested a small family of wolves. In the family was the mother, the father, and a small pup. The mother, a kind and gentle creature who treats her cub dearly. A father, a fierce wolf who teaches his son how to protect himself. Lastly, a son, whose story begins right here.

(Maverick: Hey, there's me! HI ME!!!!!!)

In the forest, the sun was just rising above the mountains in the area, as it showed a young pup come out of the small den from beneath the rock. The pup yawned as he stretched from a good night sleep. He then hastily turned around and went back into the chamber towards two large sleeping wolves. He crept up on the loose gravel, being very quiet so as to not wake them. He drew closer and closer to the sleeping animals, until finally, he jumped and……

"Mom! Dad! It's morning!"

The pup is now jumping on the two wolves, one at a time. Due to his small size, it didn't really hurt them or anything. Still, they were rather groggy from being woken up.

"Dear, our son is pouncing on us."

"Again?"

"Yes."

The father wolf got up and stretched, then looked at his son. "Good morning, Maverick. How are you today?" The pup excitedly jumped down and began circling his dad. "I feel great, pop! I feel so awake, I can go without sleep for days!" The father silently laughed at his son. "That's good to hear. You'll need all of that energy for today's lessons. Now hurry outside. We'll begin our lessons out there." Maverick excitedly wagged his tail as he left the den. When he was gone, the father turned to his wife.

"……………."

"…………….."

"…………….."

"………….not it."

"…………not i-argh!"

Silently laughing, the mother laid back down as the grumbling father went outside to his son.

(2 hours later)

Father wolf is seen creeping up to a lone rabbit in the clearing. "Now listen, Maverick. In order to catch your prey, you have to be very discreet, and that means being very, very, quie-"

"You're mine, rabbit!" From a slightly higher mound, the pup jumped towards the rabbit, hoping for an easy meal. The rabbit, however, proved to be to witted, as it jumped out of the way before Maverick could get him. Maverick rolled for a bit, then finally stopped after hitting against the tree. He groggily looked up to his father's stern, but slightly amused face. "Uh, heheh, can I try again?" The young wolf asked as the father sighed.

(30 minutes later)

Finally, after a long while, the father and son were able to kill a few rabbits for their breakfast. While a rabbit wasn't Maverick's favorite (he preferred it when he and his family ate a deer), he clearly didn't mind, considering he was very hungry.

"Maverick."

"Hm?"

"Do you know why we gave you that name?" Maverick thought for a moment, then replied, "Because it sounds funny?" The father chuckled a little bit. "No, no. We gave you the name for two reasons. One, no matter how much we tell you, you almost always, accidental or on purpose, avoid following our orders." The young pup sheepishly looked at the ground as his father said that. "The other reason is that no matter what, you're always full of surprises, no matter what's happening." Maverick yapped in agreement to that. More than once, he was able to trick any prey or predators out in the forest on several occasions. After that, they finished their meals, and continued to travel with his father around. After a while, they came across a small stream. The stream, as small as it was, was still supporting several salmon as they jumped in the water. Quickly, Maverick went to the water and quickly started catching a few as his father watched. Another unique name for Maverick was 'Bear pup', as he is usually seen catching fish in the same manner as bears do. He also leaves a few fish behind for bears when he is full and doesn't want to eat any more fish. After getting a few fish, Maverick decided he would take one to his mother as a gift, despite already knowing that mother already got her meal. As they walked back to the camp. Soon enough, they met the mother wolf, who thanked her pup for the gift (despite never eating it) Dusk soon came and the group of wolves soon nestled in their den, awaiting for the next day. That day, however, is a day they wish will never happen. A mile away from the den, there was a large, metal trap with jagged teeth in a circle, waiting to claim its prey…….

MS: How was that? Well, if anyone has any ideas, they can tell me, and if there's any criticism, I'll accept it provided it's not a flame. Well, c'ya!
