"Do you really think just by defeating me means that it's over?" asked Blowhole. Everyone turned to him.

"What do you mean?" Skipper asked back.

"When you and Private left the zoo to look for your teammates I have sent Hans and some of my troops to invade the zoo. They have put it under their control and imprisoned all your friends. Now you have no home to return to!"

XXXXXXXXXXXX

It's been a week since Hans and Blowhole's army raided the zoo and took over it. No human visitors have come and Alice for some reason hasn't been around ever since the incident.

Meanwhile, two lobsters were standing in front of the zoo guarding it. "So any news about Dr. Blowhole yet?" the first lobster asked.

"No, the last time he called us was two days ago. I dunno why he-"before he could finish his sentence four figures jumped out of the shadow and knocked them both unconscious.

"Well done, boys!" said Skipper as he turned face their zoo. It looked a lot different than he remembered. There was a huge 'closed' sign hanging on the main gate. Hans must have placed it there to keep all humans away. "Alright, boys. We're going in!" he stated with determination, but Kowalski quickly stopped him before he could.

"Skipper we can't just break in. We don't know how many enemies are there. Blowhole took all the weapons from inside Rico when he captured us. If we go in there we'll risk getting caught." Kowalski explained.

"But the others-"

"I know. I'm worried about them too, but we shouldn't do anything rash." he said softly.

Skipper sighed, finally calming down. "Fine, what do you suggest we should do?"

Kowalski smiled. "I believe we must find a safe place where we could plan our next move. It needs to be close from here so we can keep an eye on what's happening inside the zoo at all time."

"But where could we go?" Private asked.

Skipper thought for a moment. They needed a temporary place to stay until they get back their zoo and friends, but where would that be? "Don't worry Private. I'm sure we'll figure something out." he said. After that said they turned around and walked away. Private took one final glance at their former home before following the others.

"Skippah, do you think everyone is okay in there?" Private looked up to him with a worried look in his eyes.

Skipper hesitated, but answered him. "I hope so."

Meanwhile, Marlene was sitting against the wall of her cell. The room around her was dark and the only light was coming from a small widow above them. She didn't know where she was or how long have she been there, but she wanted to get out soon. Bored, she looked over to Maurice and Mort who were standing quietly near their king who busy negotiating with the lobster guards.

"So how about this, I'll give you six mangoes and three coconuts to release the king, no?" Julian said behind the bars. The guards didn't respond.

"Okay how about six mangoes, three coconuts, plus Mort to let me leave? Not bad, right?" he grinned sheepishly making the two guards groan with annoyance. Marlene rolled her eyes at this. We might not be getting out of here anytime soon. She sighed and looked up to the window above with concern.

"Skipper, where are you?" she said to herself. It's been so long since he and Private went on that rescue mission to save and Rico from Blowhole and they haven't come back yet. What's taking them so long? Did something happen to them? Wherever they were she hoped they were alright.

It was soon midday. The penguins found a small abandoned warehouse in the park and decided to stay in it. Skipper stood in front of his men to give a speech. "Listen boys. I won't lie to you but the upcoming days won't be easy for us. Hans took our home and locked away all our friends and I take full responsibility for that. I shouldn't have let this happen. Even if we'll have to start from scratch I will do all I can to keep this unit together and I expect you all to do the same, understood?"

The three penguins smiled and saluted him. "Yes, sir!"
