The four penguins heard the girl make a low groan as she started to stir and as Sam opened her eyes, she saw four penguins staring at her with looks of worry on their faces. While Sam began to sit up, a penguin with a flat head waddled towards her.

"Are you okay, Miss?" the small penguin asked her.

"Yeah, I'm alright." Sam muttered.

"I'm surprised." the penguin replied as he continued to look at Sam.

"Why, I' m just a human." Sam said calmly.

"Yes, a normal human that has incredible power and was not freaked out when she heard a penguin talking to her, the name's Skipper and yours." Skipper grinned as Sam stared at him.

"Uh, Well, I guess I am used to hearing magical animals, so why not regular animals and I'm Sam." Sam answered.

"Nice to meet you Sam, I'm Private." Private squeaked with much greeting as he and the two others walked toward her and Skipper.

"I'm Kowalski and this is Rico, a penguin of few words." Kowalski said.

"Pleasure to meet all of you and you guys probably want some of your questions answered." Sam replied.

"It's uncanny that you realized that, unless you can read minds." Skipper stated with a stern look at Sam.

"No, I can't read minds, but my friend Erika can." Sam giggled.

"Okay, first off, why were you in the skies above us? Skipper asked Sam.

"I was fighting one of guardians' villains, his name is Devlin." Sam answered

"I am guessing you would be one of the guardians you mentioned." Kowalski suggested.

"Yes, I am the guardian of water and air, also the leader of the small group." Sam said with a calm tone.

"How many other guardians are there, exactly?" Kowalski questioned her as the others turned to Sam.

"Three, their names are Jonah, Erika, and Layla." Sam replied.

"What do you four protect?" Kowalski asked Sam with much curiosity.

"The Earth and the rest of the worlds in the universe." Sam answered.

"Wait a minute, there are more living civilizations than just on Earth." Skipper cried in total shock.

"Yes." Sam sighed.

"Are you and your friends always in your guardian forms?" Private squeaked as he got knocked over by Sam's right wing.

"Sorry Private and most of the time my friends and I look like any regular teenager." Sam grinned as she helped Private to his feet.

"Hold on, the protectors of universe are just a couple of high school kids." Skipper and Kowalski shouted, sounding stunned.

"Yeah, but we were chosen by a guy named Argos and didn't have much of a choice." Sam muttered as the Heart of Millennia came out of her right hand.

"What is that, Sam?" Private stuttered as he pointed his flipper at the object floating above Sam's right hand.

"This is the Heart of Millennia, a magical object that transforms the guardians and makes their powers stronger." Sam replied as she watched the Heart of Millennia start to glow.

Skipper, Private, Rico, and Kowalski watched as the Heart of Millennia enveloped Sam in an intense blue- silver light. In couple of seconds, Sam was just any other blonde haired teenage girl with blue hazel eyes(in guardian form they are ocean blue). But suddenly, the Heart of Millennia glowed again and another intense light surrounded Sam. The light only lasted for second and when the penguins boys saw Sam, she was definitely different.

"Great smoked salmon!" Skipper screamed in shock as he and the others looked at their new friend.

"What's wrong!" Sam exclaimed as she stared at the penguins' shocked faces.

"YOU HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO A PENGUIN!" Kowalski yelled to Sam as turned to a mirror that was across the room and saw a penguin looking back at her.

"AHHH, IT'S TRUE, BUT HOW AND WHY?" Sam screeched.

"Not sure." Private, Skipper, and Kowalski replied, still in shock.

"Nuh uh." Rico muttered.

"Sam, have you or any of the guardians gone to a world and change into the creatures that live there?" Kowalski asked her as he tried to wrap his head around the recent event.

"No, this is the first time. " Sam whispered, now sounding curious to Kowalski's explanation and then the five them heard a voice that sounded like it came from nowhere.

"What was that." Private squeaked, looking worried.

"I do not know... Sam, are you there?" a male voice said, sounding frantic as Sam spoke.

The voice was coming from behind Rico and there on the penguins' small worktable was Sam's blue sparkling walkie talkie. Sam waddled over to it quickly, picked it up, and spoke into it.

"Jonah, can you hear me?" Sam shouted into the walkie talkie.

"Loud and clear, are you alright?" Jonah answered.

"Where are you, Layla, and Erika at?'' Sam asked him into the walkie talkie.

"I am in the Lemur Habitat, while Layla and Erika are in the Chimp and Otter Habitats of the Central Park Zoo." Jonah replied.

"I'm in the Penguin Habitat at the Central Park Zoo, I didn't know the Heart actually teleported you guys here because I knocked out by a beam from Devlin's staff." Sam explained into the talkie.

"That's great, but something strange has happened, so can you come meet us in front of the Chimp Habitat." Jonah whispered.

"Sure." Sam said.

Sam turned to the penguins and followed them out of the fish bowl entrance of their HQ. They swam toward the gate that surrounded their habitat and climbed it. Then the five of them slid on their bellies toward the Chimp Habitat and the four penguins slid to a stop in front of a small group, but Sam continued to slide and knocked over a Lemur with dark brown hair.

"Uh, I need work on stopping when I belly slide." Sam groaned.

"Sam, you have been turned into a penguin." the dark brown Lemur chuckled as he stared her.

"And you've been turned into a Lemur, Jonah." Sam smirked.

"Yeah, me and Erika have been turned into a Otter and Chimp!" Layla shouted as Sam and Jonah looked at her in Chimp form.

"Chill Layla, I hear something." Jonah whispered as he looked up toward the sky.

Jonah saw a guy on a hover board, floating just a few feet above the group. The guy looking down at the zoo and in his hand was some kind of tracking device. The group of animals watched as he scratched his head in confusion and flew away from the zoo on his hover board.

"Who was that." Julien said, appearing uninterested.

"That was our enemy Devlin, Julien." Jonah muttered.

"Well, it looks like we are going to be here for awhile." Sam groaned.

"But he left, his search is over." Private explained.

"Knowing our enemy, he will be back and will bring his clan with him." Layla replied with a slump.
