Disclaimer- I do not own the Penguins of Madagascar or anything that belongs to Dreamworks. I do however own or partially own most of these oc's and this plot.
Hey guys, sorry for keeping you waiting, but I had a name block with some of the new oc's that will be appearing in this chap. but luckily a friend and fan by the user name of Mikey Kudo helped me out with that. Thanks Mikey. Also my computer died and I had to get a new one. So now without further adieu, let's begin.
Chapter 3: The First Day
Skyler awoke to the sound of her alarm clock going off. She quickly turned it off and hopped out of bed. She looked in her mirror and saw that her feathers had gotten messy while she slept.
"Better fix this. Gotta be presentable for my first day.", the puffguin said to herself before she set to work. She could still hardly believe that she and the others were finally going to get some real training to be real agents. As soon as she was satisfied with how she looked, put on her sword and went to go grab the others. The first room the leader came to was Zoe's. She could tell she was up by the music she heard playing through the door. Skyler then knocked loudly on the door.
"Come in.", said Zoe through the door. Skyler opened the door and was welcomed by This Will Be The Day. Zoe turned around and saw her leader. "Morning Skyler." She then unpluged her MP3 from the stereo. "Time to go?"
"That's right, just gotta grab you and the others.", answered Skyler.
"Ready to go when you are.", said Zoe. They left the room and started heading toward Sebastian's room. Skyler knocked on the door when they arrived.
"Just a moment.", called Sebastian through the door. They then heard a click as Sebastian undid the lock and opened the door. "Morning Skyler. I was just tinkering with my weapon." He then presented his metal bo staff. "It's now my Swiss Army Staff. I've added a spear, taser, energy deflector, and knock out gas. I'll probably add some more when I come up with some more things." He then put it into it's holster on his back. "I'm ready to go when you are."
"Alright then." replied Skyler as the three of them exited Sebastian's room. "Now all we need is RJ." They turned the corner to find RJ in the hallway. "Oh, we were just about to get you."
"I just can't wait to blow something and not get in trouble for it", said RJ with lots of enthusiasm.
"Then we'd better get down to the training room then.", said Skyler before they began making their way to the virtual reality room. There were four others waiting there. One was gold and white arctic wolf with blue eyes. He also had a sniper rifle on his back and a rapier sheathed at his waist. Next to him was an extremely cute polar bear cub with brown eyes, he carried a large blaster on his back that had to indicate that he was strong otherwise he'd go flying from the recoil. Next was a young harp seal pup that looked a lot like how Short Fuse was when he was young. He had two bandoliers of so many different explosives that RJ instantly started to like him. The last one was a young barn owl with yellow eyes and what looked like scars from a fire on his back. On his right leg was some sort of high tech device that not even Sebastian could place. "Who are you guys?" The four turn their heads to the group.
"I will answer that question.", said Classified as he entered the room. The two groups go to attention. "These are the other junior agents that will begin their training today. They shall be your allies and at times, your competition. " He stepped up to the young wolf. "This is my son, Mensieur, and leader of the team." The young wolf stood as if he was trying to keep all emotions inside of him. Next up was the polar bear cub. "This is Corporal's son, Brawnie." The little bear gave them a friendly wave. Classified then moved to the young seal. "This is Short Fuse's little brother."
"Call me Little Fuse.", said the seal. The owl then stepped up.
"I'll introduce myself. They call me Burnie.", said the owl. "We already know who you four are."
"Now that introductions are now behind us, let's get on with today's lesson. Or more accurately, today's test.", said Classified. "Today the two of you will be facing off against each other to analyze your team's strengths and weaknesses. The environment inside the virtual reality room shall be your battlefield and your goal will be to subdue the other team. Only non-lethal combat will be allowed. And each team will be supplied with short range communicators. You will enter the battlefield from opposite sides. You have 15 minutes to prepare." Then walked out of the room. Skyler walked up to Mensieur and extended her wing to her. Mensieur took the wing and shook it.
"May the best team win.", said Skyler before the two let go and went to get ready. "Alright team, put the safety on your weapons." As ordered, RJ reduced the power of his blasters to a concussive blast and Zoe reduced the power-amplifier on her gloves. Meanwhile Sebastian tinkered with one of the coms.
"Almost… got it.", said Sebastian as he finished with the com. "Now we will be able to hear everything they say without them being able to hear us."
"Way to take initiative Sebastian.", complemented Skyler.
"Thank you sir.", replied Sebastian. (Just like her mom, she goes by sir.)
"Now let's see what our opponents are up to.", said Skyler as she put the com peice into her ear hole.
"Alright, game plan. Anyone have any ideas?", asked Mensieur.
"How about as soon as the doors open, we take toward cover and then you use your rifle to pinpoint their position. From there, we will move forward and keeping to cover, as a group, until we are right on top of them and then attack.", suggested Burnie.
"We'll go with that.", replied Mensieur. Skyler turned to the others as they got their coms in.
"Alright team. As soon as the doors open, me and Sebastian will fly above and launch an attack from behind them. Zoe and RJ, you two will draw the enemy's attention to the front. Get as close as you can to them and do not engage in close combat until we strike and keep to cover.", ordered Skyler.
"Attention, the battle will begin in 15 seconds.", said a mechanical voice.
"Let's move out.", said Skyler as she and her team put their head gear on and got into position. The moment the doors opened, Skyler and Sebastian take to the air and Zoe and RJ dashed toward cover. From above the battlefield, Skyler could see the entirety of the terrain. The walls, floor, and ceiling where pure black, but down below was lit with blue neon lights that were on triangular objects that provided cover. She also saw the other team moving forward toward her ground unit. Skyler and Sebastian flew silently past the enemy formation and took cover. They then began moving up as the enemy did while keeping undetected. Soon all three groups were close together. "RJ, lasting smoke bomb." RJ hacked up a smoke bomb that blanketed the area in thick smoke. "Engage." At the same time, the two groups attacked the enemy team from two directions. RJ sent concussive blasts at Little Fuse and stunning him. Zoe went for Brawnie and quickly disarmed him. Brawnie realized he had to change tactics and tried to punch Zoe. Zoe counted by dodging the strike and then grabbing his arm and flipping him over onto his back and knocking the wind out of him. As Sebastian came at Burnie with his staff, Burnie's ankle device unfolded incredibly fast into a gigantic blaster with a revolver like cartridge. Burnie fires a three round burst at Sebastian. Sebastian moved his staff in a circular motion, activating the energy deflector, and neutralized the attack. Burnie then tried to hit him with the end of the blaster, but Sebastian dived out of the way. Then RJ hit Burnie in the back stunning him. Skyler charged at Mensieur with her sheathed blade. Mensieur quickly unsheathed his rapier with a rounded tip and blocked the attack. Mensieur then thrusted at Skyler but she blocked it and swept his legs out from under him. Skyler kicked his blade away from him and held the tip of her sheathed blade to his throat. Then the virtual battlefield dissolved and they all took off their head gear. Skyler put her blade away and offered her wing to help Mensieur up. Mensieur took it.
"Well done team penguin, well done.", said Classified as he entered the room. "I was hoping for a little more out of your peers." Mensieur hung his head. "Team penguin, you are dismissed for the day." Skyler and her team gave him a quick salute and then left. Skyler looked back and saw the utter disappointment in Mensieur. Classified then turned to the other team who was still getting to their feet. "The rest of you will stay for additional training."
(Later) They were celebrating their victory in their hideout and all were in a great mood. All but one that is. "Is something wrong?", asked Zoe, breaking Skyler out of her thoughts.
"What? Oh… it's nothing.", said Skyler. Zoe gave her a look that said 'yeah right'. Skyler let out a deep sigh. "Did you see how Mensieur looked after we beat him? He had a look of disappointment, disappointment in one's self."
"Maybe, he's a sore loser.", suggested Zoe.
"Maybe.", said Skyler with doubt in it. "I'm going on a Dibble run." She then left the hideout and Zoe knew Skyler needed some time to herself.
As Skyler made her way to the kitchen, she began to hear someone crying. Curiosity got the better of her and she followed the sound to the source and found Mensieur crying into his paws. "What's wrong Mensieur?", asked Skyler. Mensieur noticed her and turned his back to her.
"Go away.", said Mensieur. Skyler approached the crying wolf.
"I want to help you. Just tell me what is the problem.", said Skyler.
"I'm not like you. I'm not a leader. No matter how much I try or what I do, I can't lead.", answered Mensieur.
"Then stop trying to be something you're not.", replied Skyler.
"But if I can't be a leader then how can I make my father proud of me and be what he wants me to be?", asked Mensieur.
"By being the best you you can be.", answered Skyler. She then drew her sheathed sword. "Face me and this time I won't pull any tricks." Mensieur stood up and drew his rapier with a rounded point and went into a battle stance. Skyler began with a simple thrust. Mensiur changed it's direction with a slash. He then followed up with a thrust, but Skyler backed out of range and followed with her own thrust at Mensieur's sword paw, disarmed him, and pointed the tip at his throat. But Mensieur grabbed his blade in his other hand and pointed it at Skyler's throat. "You see, you may not be a leader, but you're a pretty good swordsmen." She then put the sword away. Mensieur did the same. "Focus on becoming better at what you are, not what you are not."
"You're right.", said Mensieur. "Can you be by my side to tell my dad? I don't think I could do it on my own."
"As long as you are still the one who tells him.", answered Skyler.
"Then let's get this over with.", said Mensieur. They then made their way to Classified's office. Mensieur knocked on the door three times.
"Enter.", said Classified. Mensieur and Skyler then entered the office. Inside Classified was doing paperwork. "What bring you two here."
"Dad, we need to talk.", said Mensieur. "I can't be lead the team anymore." Classified stopped in mid motion and then turned to his son.
"My son, one little mistake…", started Classified.
"It's not about making a mistake, it's about me not being able to be a leader.", interrupted the young wolf. "I've always tried to be a leader like you so you would be proud of me, but the thing is; I'm not like you. I don't have what it takes to be a leader. If I'm going to be a great agent, then I need to follow my own path and use my own strengths and work with my team to cover my weaknesses. If my team is to prosper, it needs a better leader." Classified looked his son in the eye and knew that he was telling the truth. He then let out a sigh.
"I only wanted to help you see your potential. I thought that maybe by making you a leader, you would fill the role. But I see now that my path isn't the one for you.", said Classified. "If this is what you truly want, then I will name Burnie the new leader of the team." The young wolf then jumped up and hugged his father.
"Thank you dad.", said the former leader.
"Any time, my son.", replied the older wolf. "If that's all, then I need to get back to this paperwork." The two saluted the Commander and left the office. Soon after they left, Mensieur surprised Skyler with a hug.
"Thank you. I would have never been able to do this if it weren't for you.", said Mensieur as he hugged her.
"It was nothing.", said Skyler. "I only wish we could still be rivals."
"We can still be rivals, just only in the art of the sword.", said Mensieur. "That is, if you want."
"I'd like that.", responded Skyler. "So what are you going to do now?"
"Well I'm going to go hit the showers and then tell Burnie he's the new leader." answered the wolf. "What about you?"
"I think I'll go relax for a bit and then hit the hay.", responded Skyler. "So I guess I'll see you around?"
"See you around.", said Mensieur before they parted ways feeling so much better.
