Penguin Habitat
5:00 A.M. Eastern Standard time
(Skipper's POV)
"ah…morning gentlemen!" I said. "it's too early," Private said, "The sun's not even up." "are you sure about this Skipper," Kowalski asked, "Private hasn't had a good night's sleep in months…" "Then this should wake him right up," I replied. "yay," Rico said. "aha…a brand new baby day is born! Freshly spanked and full of promise and adventure and the hope of inflicted pain!" "Yay Pain!" Rico said. "good morning baby day," I said, "Now let's get to our calisthenics."
"Skipper," Kowalski said, "won't all the promise and still be there if we wait for the sun to actually…" I pointed to the slowly raising sun, "look there's the sun now let's get to work!" "Since you nancycats are so tired…let's start at Level Zero." "Is there a level zero?" Private said. "Yeah," I said, "don't you see the panda shaped boxing bags?" I pulled four panda shaped boxing bag and placed them in front of my men. "Alright gentlemen!" I said hitting one of the "pandas", "now get them all you got!" I started pummeling the bag and sent it flying across the habitat.
While Private, Kowalski, And Rico got busy punching the standup punching bags my highly trained earholes picked up the sound of an approaching jet. I ignored it as Private, Rico, and Kowalski managed to knock the bags onto their sides. Oh well that's better then nothing. "All right," I said, "it's time for toe-touches remember not to bend you knees!" "do we got knees?" Private asked. Suddenly a North Wind Jet appeared overhead the shockwave from the engine knocking us over. A rope was thrown down and Classified slid down it and landed in our habitat.
"What are you doing here!" I shouted, "we were in the middle of calisthenics!" "Sorry to interrupt you morning exercises…but we have a situation," classified said. Classifed saw our punching bags, "and what is that?" Classified said. "What's the situation?" I asked. "We have right to believe that The South Wind is in the area and out for revenge." "Really?" I said. "The organization have declared themselves independent," Classified said, "dedicated to destroying Penguins wherever they are in the world…And the four of you are the first target." "Because we made them lose their funding?" I said. "amoung other things," classified replied.
"We don't need you help," I said, "we can take them." "No you can't," Classified replied. "why not?" I said. "um…that thing," Eva said. a gaint robot appeared out of nowhere and took down the North Wind. Classified got tossed across the habitat and the jet went flying out of the zoo and smashed thru a building before it crashed into the park. "Penguins secured," the robot said. "You have to catch us first," I said. "Activiting force-field containment system!" The robot said. A force-field suddenly surrounded the concrete island trapping us inside. "fallback," I said. "Skipper!" Kowalski said, "the forcefield has blocked off the entrance to HQ!" "What?" I said.
"Penguins ready for pickup signaling stealth helicopter!" the robot announced. A satellite dish appeared and started boardcasting. "Rico!" I said, "take out that dish!" Rico hacked up a rocket launcher and destroyed the satellite effectively cutting the robot off. The robot stood their and deployed an radio attenna from it's head and said, "secondary system…" Rico blew up the robot's head leaving the robot useless. Or so we thought. "sending out morse code pulse." Rico hacked up the flamethrower and melted the robot before it could do anything. The force field instantly went down as soon as the robot was destroyed.
"Looks like the South Wind isn't as smart as they think…why is their a black helicopter heading our way?" "Nothing on the scope Skipper," Private said holding out the portable rader. "A stealth helicopter," Kowalski said, "they do exist…and I know I can tame her!" "Retreat!" I said as it readied it's netgun. "but the stealth helicopter!" Kowalski said. Rico fired at rocket at it sending it spinning uncontrollablely out of the zoo boundries. Their was a loud firey explosion and somebody shouted, "My Car!" "Stealth helicopter you say?" I said, "what stealth helicopter?"
suddenly the helicopter returned and managed to hover over us even though it was on fire. "fire proof?" I said. Rico lobed a grenade but it didn't seem to do anything. "an indestructible helicopter?" I said, "Now I seen everything." Rico hacked up a RPG launcher and fired and managed to blew up the windows. Rico lobed another grenade and their was flash as the grenade exploded followed by a much larger explosion that sent helicopter bits flying all over the place. Unfortantly the helicopter was still airborn with only it's skeleton left. We could now see an Angry Agent Declassified sitting in the the remains of a blast-proof mini-bunker. "Would you stop destroying my stuff!" Kowalski pulled out the space-time teleport and sent the mostly destroyed helicopter somewhere else. "Where did you send him," Private asked. "The bottom of the lower new york bay," Kowalski replied, "as long as he can swim he should be fine."
Classified was finally able to get back into our habitat. "what's the plan?" Classified said. "We find the South Wind's base and bring the fight to them!" I said, "Penguins are our flesh and feathers…and if they want penguins…BRING IT ON!" "okay back to HQ," classified said, "and no not The Czech Republic…I'm not letting you in there again." "North Wind HQ that's sound like a useless detour…" I said. "we have a map of possible South Wind base locations on the main computer." "Don't all your bases have a main computer…" "none of them are as powerful as the Main computer over in Central Command." "You have a central command?" Private said. "thank you captain obvious…" I said.
"what?" "Every intelligence organization worth their salt have a Central Command," I said. "Don't The South Wind have a Central Command?" "well…They did," classified said, "but the IASA bombed it to the ground." "The IASA?" "International Animal Spy alliance," Classified replied. "I never heard of it," I said. "I understand, I just learned about it this morning," classified said. "that was the most boring briefing I ever sat thru," Short fuse said. "I wonder why the IPSA forgot to mention IASA to us," Kowalski muttered. "The IPSA just found out about them this morning too," Classified said, "well it was just formed a week ago…so it makes sense."
Private picked up a pamphlet labled, "The New IASA intiative." Private flipped thru it, "I didn't knew their was a East and West Wind?" "Oh those two are the worst," Short fuse said. "Oh the International Kanagroo Episonge agency or IKEA!" "IKEA? Really?" I said. "give me that," Classified said. "PIA is not the list…makes sense." I said. "Penguin MI6?" Kowalski said, "why am I not surprised." "Give me that," Corporal said swiping the pamphlet out of Kowalski's hands, "I wasn't finished with that."
"alright gentlemen," I said, "next stop North Wind Central Command in…where is it?" "Not telling you that," Classified replied. "Toronto," Kowalski replied. "No," Classified said, "Not in Canada…" Corporal then proceeded to dart the four of us. As I drifted into unconsiousness Classified said, "what? They can't knew exactly where it is!" "I thought we trusted them?" Eva said. "we did…just not with this," classified said, "the security of Central Command is absolute…no matter how much we trust them."
