Denmark
Operation: In and Out Intel
Joint ANSO and APSO
Operative: 2nd Lieutenant Skipper and Corporal Hans
A Antarctic Navy Special Operator, nickname: Skipper, was sent into Denmark to meet up with an Atlantic Puffin Special Operator, nickname: Hans. The mission was to rendezvous with an agent that was stationed there and grab the intel he has about Dr. Blowhole. Lethal firearms was allowed for threat neutralization, but flipper-to-flipper combat is recommended to minimize damage. Both birds are standing by at a roof in front of the fish market entrance.
Skipper hands over the binoculars to Hans for him to take a peak "We have four lobsters guarding the market's entrance."
Hans puts down the binoculars and looks at Skipper "Do you still have that Mk. 22 Hushpuppy?"
Skipper unholsters a pistol from his waist "You mean this tranquilizer gun?" Hans nodded "But this is just a tranq' gun." he holsters his pistol and raises his M4 Carbine "I can make a lot of damage with this baby."
Hans shook his head and lowers Skipper's rifle "HQ said that we need to work together and minimize property damage, sir."
Skipper sighed and rolled his eyes "Fine! We'll let them take a snooze." he unholsters his pistol again and fits it with a suppressor "Hans, are you ready?"
Hans grabbed his pistol and aims it at the lobsters guarding the entrance "On your mark, sir."
Skipper aims his pistol and takes a deep breath "On three. One. Two. Three!"
Both pistols fired at the same time sending out a silent whistle with each pull of the trigger. The entrance is now cleared. Both of them rushed inside and taking out every lobster they saw. After a while of searching they finally found the warehouse where their contact is being kept. Both birds pressed their backs against the walls and readies themselves for the unknown presence inside.
Skipper reloads his pistol and racks the slide to chamber a new tranquilizer round "You ready?"
Hans tapped his headset and nods "I'll keep watch outside."
Skipper nodded "Roger." he kicks the door and enters the warehouse and sees a middle-aged puffin chained on the ground "Are you the 'Fisher'?"
The puffin nods "G-Get out of here!"
Skipper kneels down and looks at the chain "No way. I'm here for the intel, where is it?"
The puffin pointed at the security room at second floor with his beak "Get out of here before its to late!"
Skipper slowly stands up "I'm not leaving an injured guy like you in this. But I am getting that intel." he went up using the ladder and enters the room to get a floppy disk. He returns to the puffin and looks back at the chains "Don't worry, we'll be home free."
The puffin looks at Skipper "Kid, get yourself out of here now!"
Skipper turned around and sees Hans holding a detonator "Hans!"
Hans chuckled and pressed the button and a huge explosion knocks Skipper on his belly. He soon wakes up noticing his flipper touching a knife jabbed into his contact "Darn it!" he punched the ground "I'm sorry friend."
A bright light suddenly blinds Skipper and after his vision clears he sees Hans with a platoon of puffins armed with AK 74 "He killed a senator of the state! KILL HIM!"
Skipper ran and jumps cover to cover avoiding the puffins' gunshots. He soon sees a boat that is still operational. But Hans cut him off during his approach. Skipper pointed his gun at Hans. Once he pulled the trigger the only thing he heard was a loud click. Skipper tossed the pistol into the ocean and realizes that he dropped his rifle during the explosion. He has no other choice but to use his flippers.
Skipper stood firmly ready to fight "You'll pay for this, Hans!"
Hans smirked "Not unless I get rid of you first, Skipper."
Both birds engaged into combat with each other. Skipper got hold of Hans, but he was countered and tossed to the ground. Skipper shook his head and sees Hans in the sky diving towards him, Skipper quickly rolled and got Hans' feet and hurls him to a wall. The fight goes on until Skipper broke two bones in his ribs and breaking his own ankle, Hans also have the same result. Both of them looks at the ground to see a fish on their feet. Skipper grabbed the fish and holds it like a sword, so did Hans. They both used the fish as swords and they both fought without giving up. Skipper jabbed the fish onto Hans' side making him feel his broken ribs. Hans slapped Skipper's ankle making him fall in a huge amount of pain. Han's raises the fish and is about to deliver the final strike. But Skipper quickly kicked Hans' wrist before the fish made impact on his head, Skipper stands up and punches Hans on the beak.
Hans fell on on one knee "You were lucky this time, Skipper." he spits out some blood coming from his beak
Skipper wipes the blood coming from his head "You're not gonna get away from me, Hans."
Hans smirked "Lets see." he quickly got up and tackles Skipper
Skipper quickly evaded it and kicks him in the chest "Time's up, Hans."
Hans felts his chest and ankle aching "We will meet again, Skipper. You win this round but I'll win the next one." he runs away from the heat of battle
Skipper nods "I will get you, Hans. I'll never let my guard down." he limps his way towards the speedboat he saw and makes his escape
Skipper got to the nearest Antarctic Navy Sub and he soon realizes that the floppy disk was badly damaged. The next day the captain of the sub said that he is now the most wanted penguin in Denmark for killing a senator cold blood. Antarctic Central Command looks at the video recorded using Skipper's headset. Central Command knows that Skipper was innocent and should remain hidden until the heat dies down a bit, then he can come back out. He takes a little rest in the sub's infirmary and thinks of that backstabbing puffin. He will someday prove the Danes that he is innocent.
