The penguins and King Julien were out of the zoo, in the open park that surrounded the zoo. Skipper was by the entry to the zoo from the park side, watching over the park as Julien folded his arms, obviously bored. Kowalski, Private, and Rico did a good job scavenging the area.

"So? Is the coast clear?" Skipper called out to Kowalski as he looked up at the sky, seeing if there were any intruders from above.

Kowalski calculated the projected distance between him and the zoo, giving the thumbs up to Skipper. "We're ready to go on our mission, Skipper!"

"Good! Don't foul it up!" He turned around to face King Julien, pointing at him in the nose. "So swear my flippers if you make any tiny mistake, buddy boy."

King Julien rolled his eyes as he pushed Skipper away from him. "Please. It is obvious that you are jealous of my superior king ship. Seriously, look at my crown." He then went on to ramble about his pretty crown.

Skipper slapped himself in the face as he sighed, heading forward in the park. Sliding on his belly, he covered Kowalski's back as he called out for Private and Rico. As Rico was sliding towards his other three penguin compadres, he was snatched by a hungry, blue falcon, screaming as he struggled getting out. Skipper, Kowalski, and Private all gasped in horror as they witnessed what was about to become of Rico.

"That hawk's going to eat Rico!" Private panicked as he placed his flippers on his face, exclaiming as he pointed at the hawk, "We've got to go get him back!"

Skipper nodded in agreement. "Roger that, Private. To positions, men!" Skipper slid forward as he lead, with Kowalski and Private sliding behind.

Back at the entrance to the zoo, King Julien was too busy marveling himself as Marlene The Otter peeped outside, having checked the penguins' exhibit.

"Hey, have you seen Skipper?" Marlene asked as she played around with her fingers, "Because I really need to tell him something."

Julien scoffed as he rolled his eyes, wrapping his arms around his head as he lied down on the green grass. "The penguins went to go rescue Niko from the giant bird thingy."

Marlene stared blankly at Julien for several seconds, scratching the back of her head as she tried putting the words together. Upon doing so, she gasped.

"Rico was kidnapped by a giant hawk!" Marlene panicked as she ran around, screaming while King Julien plugged his ear drums with his own fingers, "What are we going to do what are we going to do what are we going to do!"
