Here is chapter 2 guys.
Disclaimer: I do not own Penguins of Madagascar.
Marlene tumbled out of the bag and landed on a flat linolium floor. She clutched her head in pain as a light shined down upon her.
"Hey boss we got that otter you wanted," an unseen person said.
Marlene looked around and tried to find the owner of the voice. The only thing she could see was the floor space she stood on and the light above her. But then she heard the sound of a motor running and a figure appeared in front of her. She recognized him as that Dolphin who tried to take over the zoo and New York. With song. What was his name again?
"You. You're Blowhole aren't you?" Marlene asked while shivering.
Dr. Blowhole looked down at her and sneered.
"YOU IDIOTS! This is not the otter I wanted. You brought his room mate. Why is good help so hard to find?" Blowhole said in anger.
There were quick gasps from some other unseen charecters.
Marlene now knew why she had been taken. She had been mistaken for Dave and she was nothing more than a victim of circumstance.
"I- I'm sorry boss. It was hard to tell. We went in and found her all alone and figured she was the one you wanted," a voice said.
"GUARDS! Take him and dispose of him. NOW!" Blowhole yelled.
There then came the sounds of a struggle and a scream sounded out and then faded into the distance. Marlene continued to shiver in fear.
Blowhole looked back down at Marlene, pointed down at her, and said, "Now dispose of this one. Get rid of her."
But before anyone could do anything a woman's voice yelled out.
"Wait boss. We don't have to get rid of her just yet. We could use her as a lure for the one we want. And once we're done we can do with her as we please," the woman said in a hispanic voice.
Blowhole pondered for a moment and thought hard and deep.
"Hmm good idea Amelia. Guards grab her and take her to the lab. I have a great plan that could prove useful," Blowhole said in glee.
"Not to mention have a little fun," Amelia said in excitment.
A squirrel and a raccoon came out of the darkness and tackled Marlene and carried her off into the gloom and darkness.
(Penguin HQ)
Dave sat with the penguins at the HQ. It was game night and they were trying to decide on a game. Kowalski, as usual, had suggested trivia. Rico wanted to play Rock em Sock em robots, with real robots from Kowalski's lab. Skipper of course wanted to play Hot Potato. Private wanted to play Simon Says. But in the end at Dave's insistance they decided on a game that Private had found at the lost and found earlier that day.
Private cheered and waddled over to where he had stashed the game and held it out in front of him. The box read 'The Game of Life.' Everyone nodded and sat down at the penguins table.
"Alright so how do we play this game?" Skipper asked.
Everyone, including Dave, shook their heads. They had no idea how to play.
Skipper sighed and said, "Not a problem. All we need to do is look at the instructions. Dave would you please?"
Dave nodded and opened the box. Inside were the cards, life tiles, board, spinner, cars, blue and pink pegs, and little buildings. But the instructions were gone.
"Um Skipper we have a problem," said Dave.
"What is it Dave?" Skipper asked Dave.
"The instructions are gone. We have no way to play the game now," Dave said.
"WHAT! No... instructions?" Private asked with tears forming in his eyes.
"None. Sorry Private," Dave said.
Skipper slamed the table with his flipper and yelled into the sky, "HOW DO YOU PLAY THIS GAME?"
Just then the TV crackled and turned on. On the screen was none other than Board James himself. He actually wore a translator in his ear. (Board James is owned by James Rolfe of Cinemassacre. Not me.)
James looked at the penguins and otter and said, "Well guys. I'm glad you asked."
Dave and the penguins perked up and paid close attention as Board James began explaining.
"First off what you do is that everyone will take turns spinning the spinner. Whoever gets the highest number goes first and the players take their turns in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, whichever you choose. Each player chooses a car and this is you for the game. When each player gets their first turn they choose whether or not they begin their career or go to college. If you choose career you only get to pick one random career card and one random salary card. If you take college and get to your job search you get to choose three random career and salary cards and you take whichever job and salary you want of the three."
The penguins and Dave nodded.
"You move according to the number you land on when you spin the spinner. Whenever you reach a red space you immedietly stop no matter how many moves you have left and do as the space says. You buy a house, choose a career, or get married when you stop on them. Afterwards you spin again."
Everyone nodded as James continued.
"It is also wise to take out insurance on your car and house. The insurance price on the car is the same for every player, but the house insurance depends on the house you gained. By doing so you won't have to pay when something bad happens to either one."
Everyone nodded once again.
"Now for the spaces. An orange space indicates when someone has to pay or recieve money. On the side of each pay space is a career sign. If anyone has this career sign they recieve the money from the player who landed on the spot. If you land on the spot and have that sign in your career you don't pay anything. If no one has that sign then the money goes to the bank Whenever you pass over a green space you get paid your salary from the bank. If you land on a blue space you can trade your salary card with any player that is in the game. With each yellow space plus the red 'get married' space you recieve a life tile which I'll explain later."
At this point James was feeling winded, but he continued.
"Now for the pink and blue pegs. Each of these represent the kids you have in the game. Some spaces will cost you more money depending on how many kids you have. Blue is for the boys and pink is for the girls. Now for the life tiles. As you land on each yellow space you recieve one life tile and at the end of the game you cash them all in and recieve the money you make from them. The money you earn from the tiles and the money you finished the game with add up and the player with the highest amount of money at the end of the game wins."
The penguins and Dave nodded one last time.
James took a deep breath and finished up.
"So that about it. Enjoy the game guys."
Dave stared awestruck and said, "Wow. Thanks Board James."
James nodded and said, "No problem guys and thank you for the obligatory cameo. And Kowalski thank you for the translator."
Kowalski nodded and the TV turned off. Kowalski turned around and Skipper glared at him.
"Kowalski where did you get that translator from?" Skipper asked.
"Umm... I got it from... Billy's corpse. I saw the translator and I wanted to take it. And then I sent myself to his place and I gave it to him. He was weirded out at first, but now he likes it," Kowalski explained to Skipper.
Skipper continued to glare at Kowalski and Kowalski said, "I know what happens next."
Kowalski then slapped himself followed by a slap from Skipper, Private, and Rico.
After the quick slapping session they all sat down at the table and began playing the game of life. They played one game and then another with Rico being the winner each time.
As they were about to start a third game their TV snapped on again.
Skipper sighed and asked, "Is that Board James again?"
Then they all heard the annoying cackle on TV followed by the one voice that Skipper didn't want to hear. Ever. There on the TV was Dr. Blowhole.
"I'm afraid not Skipper," Dr. Blowhole said.
Skipper felt a chill go down his spine as he heard the voice of his arch nemesis.
"BLOWHOLE! What do you want? And how did you get your memory back?" Skipper asked glaring at the mad dolphin.
Blowhole snickered and said, "Oh the ray wore off after a few days. Turns out it wasn't as strong as I thought it was. But as for the other question I do have an answer. I want the otter that is in the room with you."
Blowhole pointed at Dave who had a confused look on his face.
"What me? What do you want me for?" Dave asked.
Blowhole smiled and said, "Because I have some special plans for you. And you will come to me. I'll even tell you where I am."
Skipper continued glaring at Blowhole and asked, "Now why we would send Dave to you? What could you possibly have that would make us send Dave to you."
"Because I have someone that means something to you," Blowhole said and then rolled his segway out of the way.
There on the screen was Marlene. She was strapped to a table with a leather strap around her head. Wires were coming out of the strap indicating that it was electrified. Marlene stared back at the guys with a look of fear on her face.
"MARLENE!" everyone yelled as they saw Marlene.
"And that's not even the best part. Amelia would you please?" Blowhole said to someone off screen.
A moment later a large river otter stepped onscreen. She was easily three times Marlene's size. She pulled over a number of syringes on a cart. She carfully picked one up and walked over to Marlene.
Marlene squirmed some as she was strapped to the table, but she couldn't move at all. Amelia only giggled and then grabbed Marlene's arm.
"Don't move cupcake. Don't want to poke you in the eye by accident," Amelia said sweetly in her hispanic accent.
Amelia then inserted the syringe into Marlene's arm and injected the substance. Amelia stepped back and waited. Marlene began breathing heavily and after a moment or two she began screaming in pain. Whatever had been in that syringe was now causing Marlene agony.
"MARLENE!" Skipper yelled.
Blowhole then grabbed a switch and turned on the electricity and electrocuted Marlene for a couple of seconds before cutting the electricity flow off. As soon as the eletrocution ended Marlene stopped writhing. She was still clearly in a lot of pain however.
Blowhole looked at the group in the Penguins HQ and said, "You got that? For every thirty minutes it takes for you to get here, we will repeat this process. Come to the Hoboken Zoo and then we shall begin our "disscusions" if you know what I mean."
Dr. Blowhole laughed a little and then the TV went blank.
The penguins all looked at Dave and Dave said, "Alright. I'm going."
"We'll take him down together Dave," Skipper said.
"Not we Skipper. Me. I'm going alone," Dave said to Skipper.
I just to note right here that the Board James moment was purely a comic relief moment. Because this story is about to get VERY serious.
Okay you know the routine guys. Read and review.
