*IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT* If you read the second chapter on the 28th of November, and there wasn't a segment about Dr. Blowhole at the end, please read it again because I added an important segment at the last minute. Thank you.

Chapter Three

Kidnapped!


Rico, Skipper and Private had enjoyed sun bathing for a few hours but had now grown tired of it and decided to go back to the headquarters.

They packed up the deck chairs and Rico shoved the deck chairs down the hole.

The penguins descended down into the headquarters and Rico put the deck chairs away in a secret compartment.

"Well boys I hope you enjoyed sunbathing today, enjoy the rest of your day off because tomorrow we start training at 4 AM." Skipper told them and patted Rico and Private on the back.

"Ouch." Private yelped.

"Are you sunburned Private? You poor sensitive skinned penguin, go see the Kowalskis. They should be able to cook you up some sunscreen on the spot." Skipper advised Private.

"OK Skipper."

Private waddled over to Kowalski's laboratory and knocked on the door.

"Kowalski?" Private asked. The laboratory door opened and the two Kowalskis stepped out.

"Yes?" Both Kowalskis said in unison.

"I got sunburned, could you hypothetically make a sunscreen that can make my skin cells repair themselves and restore my skin to its original condition?" Private asked.

"Sure thing. I'll be back in three minutes" The two Kowalski's said in unison and went back inside the laboratory and closed the door.

Private stood still and simply listened to the clinks of the beakers and other noises coming from Kowalski's laboratory.

After three minutes had elapsed the two Kowalskis opened the laboratory door. The original Kowalski held a beaker filled with white cream.

The Kowalski clone inspected Private and asked, "Where were you burned?"

"On my chest, and on my back." Private replied.

Kowalski then scooped some cream with his flipper and applied it to the affected area.

"It tickles." Private giggled.

"That was intentional, by making the cream give a tickling sensation as it regenerates your skin, it caused you to laugh therefore releasing endorphins into your bloodstream acting as a natural pain killer as the cream regenerates the epithelial layer of your epidermis." Kowalski explained.

"What?"

"The cream makes you laugh and decreases the pain as it fixes your skin." Kowalski's clone gave Private a simplified explanation.

"OOOH OK." Private said and since the cream had completed its job, he waddled over to his bunk and thanked the Kowalskis, "Thank you Kowalskis."

"You're welcome Private." Both Kowalskis said in unison.

"That was a nice explanation my friend, your layman's explanations are even better than mine!" Kowalski complimented his clone.

"Well I've got a great teacher." The clone admitted.

"Oh stop it, you're making me blush." Kowalski blushed at his clone's flattery and the two birds went back into their laboratory.


Back in the headquarters Rico and Skipper had decided to watch TV. Skipper was sipping a cup of coffee.

suddenly a news bulletin appeared with Chuck Charles.

"BREAKING NEWS! This is Chuck Charles reporting. An anchovy factory has been broken into. It is estimated that the thieves have stolen a quarter of tonne of anchovies. The police are investigating and it is believed that they are on the move. A truck was spotted leaving the crime scene..."

Chuck Charles' voice faded into the background as the penguins were spurred into action.

Skipper sputtered out the coffee that had been present in his beak.

"HOLY SALMON! That's a lot of anchovies! Boys we have to stop those pizza topping thieves at once." Skipper declared.

"Kowalski options?" Skipper asked to a non existent Kowalski.

"Oh right I forgot, Rico could you please ask the two love birds to come here NOW, thank you." Skipper raised his voice, slightly losing his temper.

Rico waddled over to the laboratory door, regurgitated a stick of dynamite and a match and lit the stick.

The reaction was almost instantaneous, both Kowalskis slammed the laboratory door open and put out the fuse.

"It took you long enough. OK now here's a quick briefing: Thieves, one quarter of a tonne of anchovies, stolen. Options?" Skipper quipped sarcastically.

"We could take an express train in the subway." Kowalski simply suggested.

"Done! Let's move out." Skipper ordered.


When the penguins arrived at the scene it was crowded with police officers and their vehicles.

"Alright men, lets split up. Private and Rico, you're with me, and Kowalskis? Well you don't need to be told what to do." Skipper organized a search party and went to a direction of his choice while the Kowalskis went into an abandoned alley.

"It's isolated and dark, the perfect get away spot for a thief." Kowalski reasoned.

Kowalski's clone perused the ground for clues while Kowalski scouted ahead and turned right to investigate behind the walls. Unfortunately one of Dr Blowhole's lobster minions was there waiting for him and knocked Kowalski out with one bash from his claw. Kowalski fell to the ground.

Dr. Blowhole quickly entered the scene on his segway and activated his Inceptionator.

"Inceptionator activated." A booming synthetic voice announced from his segway and fired a beam of energy at the clone.

The clone was stunned.

"You are now the original Kowalski, if the others ask about the clone, tell them it had an unstable molecular matrix and dissolved into atoms. You also did not see me or my invention today and will act normally and continue making inventions. Now go back to the others and tell them you found nothing" Dr. Blowhole instructed him.

The clone nodded and then waddled away from the alley to find the others.

Dr. Blowhole smoothly approached Kowalski's unconscious body with his segway and observed him to assess the damage.

"I hope you didn't bruise him too much, I need him for my evil plan and I have to gloat about my evil plan to someone!" Dr. Blowhole admitted.

"Alright now carry him back to the lair." The doctor ordered his minion.

The lobsters picked up Kowalski's inert figure and slung him over his shoulder. The dolphin and lobster then made their way to their base in Hoboken.


Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my story, I hope you are all enjoying it. I know it was a long chapter but I just couldn't split it.

Oh and if any of you American viewers (or any viewer for that matter) know what street the factory could be located in, that is close to the Central Park Zoo, please tell me because I want the news report to look authentic. Thanks if you can help me.
