Now we will move onto the next penguin in the story. While Private, who we know as Skipper, was being deprived of his mother and put into the hands of his father, a skipper in the military, another family of penguins was being attacked. They were being attacked at the same time and place Skipper's family had been hurt.

"Run!" a male penguin yelled. "Chico! Queso! Go with your mother! Pedro! Grab the egg! Go now!"

The family of penguins had just been in their nest snacking on leftover fish when a seal had been spotted from a distance.

"Quick everyone! Run toward the human grounds!" he shouted again.

For those of you who had never been to Antarctica, there is the Penguin HQ to the north, the Ocean to the south, the Human Grounds to the west, the Seal Caves to the east, and the Penguin Territory right in the middle. That meant the Human Grounds were the farthest away from the Seal Caves, and seals rarely ventured out far from their homes.

The plan would have worked if Pedro had not tripped. The penguin egg he was carrying dropped straight to the ground.

"Oh no!" Pedro cried out as he tried to quickly pick it up. He froze in horrification as a seal paw swiped inches from his face. He was more horrified at the crack in his little brother or sister's egg.

He then wasted no time by sprinting back toward the Human Grounds. Somehow, by some miracle, he made it. He gently laid down the egg and hoped that the crack had no damaged it. He desperetly hoped the rest of his family had made it out OK. (Thankfully they had, for they were the family that escaped from the seals, but they did not know this.)

Pedro then began to stare in awe as a little male baby penguin head popped out of the egg shell, but instantly his smile turned into a frown.

"Paeaeegg," the chick went.

Pedro didn't have much time to worry about his little brothers facial and mental problems, because he could see a seal coming from the distance. Apparently he was hungry enough to follow them. Without hesitation, he searched through the boxes for something useful, and to his surprise, he found something.

With no time to lose, Pedro lit a stick of dynamite and threw it toward the very, very close seal. He had just enough time to wrap his body around his brother for his protection when….

"Kabooom!" The ground shook violently form the explosion.

The plan worked, but sadly, Pedro had forgotten about his surroundings. Pieces of metal flew from the building they were standing next to. The baby penguin yelped in surprise as a piece of metal gashed his eye. What happened to Pedro though, was much, much worse.

"DagDag," he said in utter shock to a very hurt Pedro. Even in the last few seconds of his life, Pedro managed to smile.

"No… I'm your bro, brother Pedro," Pedro quietly said as he clutched his side in pain.

"Peeegroo," he said, trying to sound out his name.

"Yesss. You, you c….alled Rico," Pedro said, trying to stay awake. "I… don't think I'll make….it. If I, if I don't, stay here. The people will heal your, c….cut. They will take you s…afe. Not sss…afe here. Sorry couldn't have b….etter life. AAAAAHHHHH! I'll miss you."

And with that, Pedro was gone, both penguins believing the rest of their family to be dead.

"Peegroo," Rico said, tears in his eyes. Just then, some humans started running over there yelling things like, "What happened!" or "Who's there!"

"What in the world! Who did this?" a big human in a puffy blue coat yelled.

"Whoever did this is going to, ohh," the human stopped yelling when he noticed a limp penguin and a hurt baby penguin lying on the ground. "You're hurt little guy. Let's get you to the Medical Bay, and we can worry about this later."

And with that Rico was picked up and taken to medical bay. They never could fix his speech problem, and if they knew about his stomach problem they probably couldn't have fixed it either. They did fix up his cut, but a scar would be left there, reminding him of this horrible event for the rest of his life. He would never be able to see any of his family again, and as for a new family, he would have to wait a couple of months.
