The next chapter to the dark story, Puritania. I know this story can get a little misanthropic, but it was an idea we had to get out of our heads.
DISCLAIMER: I forgot to mention, I don't own the name Puritania. All rights go to the Norweigan black metal band who came up with the name. I can't say their name due to the fact that I'll have to put another disclaimer.
Chapter 3
Marlene then let out a sigh and began. "Alright…you see…Skipper originally started this operation, but kept it secret from you. He told me, and then Skipper realized he needed more help. So then he told Raymond and Raymond told Tanya. After that, Erik got curious and over heard us talking about it. He wanted to be let in on it too. Then we needed Max's help so we let him in on it. After a while, we were all in on Operation: Puritania. A mission to get rid of the humans…for good." Marlene stated.
Private just stood there, shocked. He had no idea about any of that. He still couldn't get his dream out of his head either. "But why are you doing this?" Private asked. "If you heard of what happened a long time ago you'd know." Marlene said.
Private didn't understand what she meant by that. Was it that bad? "What do you mean?" Private asked. "I'm sure Skipper would've told you later on in life." Marlene said.
Then Erik began to talk to Marlene, as he did, Kelsi arrived also. "KELSI!!!" Private called out. Erik and Marlene looked at Private, who ran full force to Kelsi. Then Kelsi looked at the young penguin. "Private? What's up?" Kelsi asked.
"Kelsi…Erik and his friends…they're gonna end the human race!" Private said in exhaustion. Kelsi then rubbed her chin with her claw, "Okay…let me guess…too much candy?" Kelsi asked. "I'm telling the truth!" Private yelled. "Okay, let me ask Erik if he is actually going to, end the human race." Kelsi said.
Then with that Kelsi walked over to Erik, she then began to talk to him. "Hi, Private thinks that you're ending the human race. Is that true?" Kelsi asked. Private was scared cause, one, Kelsi used his name, and two, Kelsi asked him bluntly which would make him automatically cover it up.
Erik grew a smile across his face, "Wow Private. How much candy did you eat?" Erik asked, hiding the true fact. Private was shocked, then he threw a punch at Erik's face. "YOU LIAR!!!" Private yelled. Then Marlene grabbed Private. "I'll handle this, you go back to the Otter Habitat." Marlene said. "Okay." Kelsi said. Then Kelsi flew away.
"Put him back in the cage!" Erik shouted. Then Marlene threw Private into the cage. Private looked up and saw Erik looking down at him, "No one will stop this mission from being a success, NO ONE!" Erik shouted, then he closed the gate.
Again Private sat there with nothing but the darkness. He then looked up and saw the sky turn red. He heard people screaming and explosions going off. Private then covered his ears and began to scream. "No!" Private wailed as he began to cover his ears.
Then he woke up, he was in the cage again. The same day, same situation. But he could not put his flipper on why would his friends want to destroy the human race. There must've been a reason. Although, Marlene did say something about it being a long time ago. But what did she mean by that?
Private paced around the cage until he heard a noise from above, it was Raymond and Tanya. They were both speaking Russian, so Private couldn't understand them at all. Then Raymond opened the cage and proceeded to take Private by his flipper.
"Private, keep your mouth shut." Raymond ordered. Then Private nodded and Raymond led him to his room. There sat some fish on the table. "What is this?" Private asked. "It's your food. Eat." Raymond said simply, then Private began to eat.
After the meal, Private wanted to know what was going on, so he decided he wanted to fake an entry into the plan. All he had to do was, join in and then when the time is right, stop them.
"Raymond…" Private began, "What is this plan? Cause I want in on it."
Raymond looked at Private. Private thought that was the worst fake entry he made, but will he be in on the plan or just remain a prisoner. Raymond then began to speak, "It's for fairness. Humans have taken over this planet. And look what they done to it." Raymond said.
Tanya then began to speak, "All they do is kill each other for greed, pride, everything. They want to be better then they really are." Tanya said.
"But I don't understand, they take care of us." Private said.
"We take care of ourselves. Think, what do people do when they're not in our view?" Raymond asked.
Private then thought to himself. He was right, too right. But he just wanted to find out what they're building and stop them when it was complete.
Raymond then began to speak, "Exactly. Look I know it's sinful, but…in order to do something good, you have to do something bad." Raymond stated.
Private then looked at him, and nodded, "Okay…I'll do it." Private said.
"Good, now let's show you to our machine. It's hidden in Max's habitat." Raymond said. Then he shook his hand and the trio set off to Max's Habitat. "Luckily, Amber is in on this too." Raymond said.
Private was a little shocked. There was more of his friends in on it? He then began to wonder, who else is in on the misanthropic plan?
Whoa! Cliffhanger! Anyways, you'll find out what the machine is and what it does on the next chapter. If you want to know, PM me or tripenguinman.
