Hey guys, do you all remember me? I'm sure most of you do! I'm here with my new story, Stranded, and I hope you are all going to love it just as much as Jet Pack Fever! To answer a lot of your questions, the people who were in the last story will only be featured in this story if they answer the question at the end of the story correct first. For right now everyone is missing except for our main penguins. Time to begin!
The penguins were awoken by a big bang. It was very dark outside and not much could be seen from out the window. The EPF agents Gary and Dot waddled to the front to see where the captain was.
"The captain is gone!" Dot shouted
"I noticed! I do not see him anywhere! This is worrying, where could they have gone?" Gary asked
"I have no idea, but I think it would be best if we wake up the others and warn them!" Dot said
"Good idea." Gary went upstairs to the other 3 agents and woke them up.
"G? What's going on?" Rookie asked groggily.
"Rookie, I have no time to explain, just get up and meet me at the deck." Gary said leaving the room.
"The deck? Wh-what for?" Rookie asked
"Please Rookie, don't ask any questions, just do as I say and you'll be alright." Gary said from outside the room.
Rookie had a feeling that something was wrong, he was about to ask another question but he decided to let it go because he could feel how stressed Gary was, and more questions would just upset him.
Dot waddled in to Jet Pack Guy's room.
"Jet Pack Guy, wake up." She said shaking him (He's a heavy sleeper)
Jet Pack Guy opened his eyes and as usual was grouchy from being woken up early.
"What is it? Don't you know what time it is?!" he shouted grouchily
"Jet, there's no time to explain, just meet me and Gary at the deck." She said
"The deck?" Jet Pack Guy asked. "What for?"
"'There's no time to explain, please just hurry!" Dot shouted as she ran out of the room.
Jet Pack Guy was just as confused as Rookie, as well as angry from being woken up. But he got over it and put on his jet pack as he ran out the door.
Chaos erupted all over the boat as most of the EPF agents were scrambling to find their way to the deck, which was dark because of the power outage.
"Ok, we're at the deck, now what is the problem?" Jet Pack Guy said still not woken up yet.
"What's the matter, Jet? Still not fully awake yet?" Dot asked
"I would be, if I didn't have to be out here right this second!" Jet Pack Guy shouted
"Agent, Agent D had a right to wake you up at this hour, it is very important." Gary interrupted
"What's more important than sleeping?" Jet Pack Guy asked
"Living." Dot answered
"What do you mean, Dot?" Rookie asked.
It was clear that Rookie was quite frightened by what was going on.
"Agents," Gary interrupted, "it appears as if the ship has been hit."
"Hit? By what?" Rookie asked
"We aren't sure yet, but Sponge and Test are nowhere to be found and they were the ones who were captaining this ship the whole time. If anyone knows what happened, it's them." Dot explained
"So what should we do?" Rookie asked
"I say we split up, that way we take more ground." Dot said
"I agree!" Gary said. "If any of you find anything, please be sure to notify me or Agent D."
"Why Dot?" Jet Pack Guy asked
"Because she and I were the only ones who woke up after the ship was hit." Gary answered
Jet Pack Guy rolled his eyes at Gary and waddled around to search for clues. While searching, Rookie called out to the rest.
"Hey guys!" Rookie shouted
"Rookie! What did you find?" Dot said rushing over
"I found this!" Rookie said holding up a button.
"What is this?" Dot asked looking at the rusted object.
The button was no bigger than Herbert's paw and had the words "Keep Trying" written on it in big letters. It was yellow and the letters were orange.
"It looks like a button to me." Rookie said taking it out of Dot's flippers.
"It's not good enough." she said standing up.
"What do you mean it's not good enough? Good enough for what?" Rookie asked
"It's not what we're looking for." She answered
"Then what are we looking for?" Rookie asked
"Clues, Rookie." Dot said getting irritated
"But this is a clue!" Rookie said raising his voice
"No, Rookie. It's a useless piece of junk. I highly doubt it'll do us any good." Dot said giving Rookie a mean look.
"You said to look for a clue, well this is a clue! We could just hang on to it!" Rookie pleaded
"No, Rookie!" Dot said taking the button and throwing it somewhere else.
"But…."
"Enough! Not another word!" she said storming off to the captain's quarters.
Rookie glared angrily at Dot as she stormed out of the room. He waddled over to the button and picked it up. He dusted off the button and kept it under his hat so Dot couldn't find it.
Jet Pack Guy waddled around to search for some clues until he came upon something by the broken window that Herbert had smashed into during the furious battle between him and Bellykid5. (And boy was that battle fierce!)
"What's this? Hey G could you come here for a minute?!" Jet Pack Guy shouted to Gary who was also searching for clues.
"Yes, Agent?" he asked waddling to Jet Pack Guy.
"I think I found something." Jet Pack Guy said giving the object to Gary.
It was a small book that was about the same size and weight of a diary. Gary opened up the diary and read a few of the pages. It ended up being the diary of the original owner of the ship who was no longer around.
"Oh my." Gary gasped at one of the pages he had read.
"What does it say?" Jet Pack Guy asked
"It says, 'Dear Diary, I fear this is my last time writing in this book because my days are coming to an end. I'm not ill, nor am I hurt physically. But I must sink this ship, for it seems that it has caused too much catastrophe and must be ended. I might not make it out, so in case I don't, I leave my belongings to the best pirate I know, Captain Rockhopper. No one else should be allowed on this ship except for him and his relatives. Anyone else, who sets foot on this ship, shall be haunted for an eternity. Sincerely Flatfoot the Pirate'"
"Wow, that's strange." Jet Pack Guy said
"It's very strange, and I have a bad feeling about what could be going on in here. I think we should leave the ship as soon as possible." Gary said heading towards the deck where the rest of the agents were. Jet Pack Guy followed
Suddenly the door shut without warning and wouldn't open.
Jet Pack Guy was slightly spooked. "What's the big idea?"
Gary turned around with terror in his eyes. "Agent, I believe this ship is haunted by Flatfoot, and he won't let us leave."
That's the end of this chapter and I had a bit of writers block in the middle of it. I hope the first chapter is good and this story will have some paranormal things in it if that's alright with you. I'm into paranormal things. I'm not good at doing scary stories or horror stories but I'll do my best with this one. And the cliff is back! He missed you! I may update soon if my computer stays with me for a bit longer.
