I'm putting this story on temporary hold. I originally planned to finish this story and then write two prequels, but I think it is best to write them in chronological order. So this story may not be updated for a long time.
"So explain to me again what's going on, Dylan."
"Okay Mumble, here's the deal. Ghaul is a bad guy. He wants to kill everybody, everywhere and spread the Cabal empire throughout the multiverse. I am not strong enough to stop him on my own, so I looked for anybody who was strong enough to stop Ghaul, and you are a hundred times as powerful as him. So I brought you back to life, and now I'm asking you to help me stop Ghaul."
"But how can I help you Dylan?" Mumble asked "I'm just an ordinary penguin, even if I'm kinda weird."
"I'll try to explain this again." Dylan said as he brought out the well used four X-rays frame the previous chapter. "I was mutated by a machine that gave me these powers. You were mutated even more than I was when your egg was dropped. Unlike normal penguins, you do not have organs to do what you need to live. Instead, your well, I'm just gonna call it a brain for simplicity's sake, your brain simply manipulates time and space to get things done, but you didn't have full conscious control over it, hence the whole not singing thing. I was not born with my powers, they were something I knew had happened to me, so I studied them and figured out how they worked. So you can help stop Ghaul, I'm going to help you use your powers. Are you ready for your first lesson?" Dylan asked.
"I'll try Dylan." Mumble said "But don't expect much."
"Okay. So the way we use our powers is pretty intuitive. You just sort of think of what you want done, truly visualize it if it helps, and then tell yourself to do it. Now for your first ever attempt, think of something you've always wanted to do, and then do it. (I bet you can guess what mumble always wanted to do) Mumble started to sing in an amazing voice, and everybody stopped what they were doing to and came to see who was singing. Everybody was shocked that it was Mumble singing, but nobody was surprised his heart song matched Gloria's. Also unsurprisingly, Mumble still danced while he sang, and the dancing actually made a lot more sense when he was singing too. Then Gloria joined in, and they sang their song together for the first time.
Gloria: Day-light deals a bad hand
Baby uh-uh it don't work
Oh baby uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh, so slowly
So slowly, into hearts of those who
Need more than they get
Day-light deals a bad hand
To penguins that has laid too many bets
The mirror stares
You in the face
And says:"Baby uh uh, it don't work"
You say your prayers
Though you don't care
You sing and you
Shake the heart
Dance!
Mumble and Gloria: Boogie wonderland!
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts
Of men who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand
To a women who has laid too many bets
The mirror stares you in the face and says"Baby, uh uh it don't work"
You say your prayers though you don't care
You dance and shake the hurt!
Dance"Mumble!"
Boogie wonderland!
Dance, dance"Mumble!"
Boogie wonderland
Dance"Mumble!"
Boogie wonderland
Dance, dance"Mumble!"
Boogie wonderland
Everyone: "mumble!"
Mumble and Gloria: All the love in the world can't be gone
All the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing
And my heart keeps saying
"Boogie wonderland, wonderland"
Dance!
Boogie wonderland!
Dance!
Boogie wonderland
Once they were done, Dylan started clapping "Mumble, that was amazing. One miracle is enough for today. We'll work some more tomorrow, I'll teach you how to control the world around us next."
Later that night, Noah and the elders talked to all the penguins, and said "Now that we have Mumble back, we have no need to crowd Adelie land anymore. We should start looking for a new Emperor Land." Dylan then stood up, and Noah called out to him "Dylan, our resident hero, I see you have something to add to this discussion?"
"Indeed I do." Dylan said. He teleported to the front of the gathering and created a holographic screen with a map of the area on it. "I was thinking about this problem today, so I did some reconnaissance. There is nothing similar to Emperor Land within a hundred miles from here. I would like to use this as an opportunity to train Mumble on the art of physical manipulation of reality. We will build a perfect home for all you emperor penguins, one that will last forever." All the penguins cheered, and the elders agreed this was a good plan.
Early the next morning, Dylan shook Mumble awake. "Mumble, we need to start planning New Emperor Land. Also, you know you don't need to sleep anymore. Or eat, actually. Although I still eat, just for the taste." Dylan conjured up a full breakfast, toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, and orange juice.
"What's that you're eating, Dylan?" Mumble asked
"Oh, it's a human food." Dylan said "My favorite thing to eat in the morning."
"What is it called?" Mumble asked.
"Well it's toast, bacon, and scrambled eggs." Dylan said.
"It looks pretty good, wait, did you say scrambled EGGS!?" Mumble yelled, waking up Gloria and Erik.
"Calm down Mumble, first off, they're chicken eggs, not penguins I would never do that, second, these are only eggs that will never hatch. You can't eat the ones with chicks inside, okay." Dylan said."Plus it's the most delicious breakfast their is. I don't know how you live on raw fish. You should try some human food, it really is amazing. Aside from scrambled eggs, they have pizza, tacos, steak, soda, chips, and the ultimate food, pop tarts." Two pop tarts appeared in Dylan's hand, and he handed one to Mumble. "Try it, I promise it's the best thing you have ever eaten."
"What do the humans put in this that I don't want to know about?" Mumble asked as he looked at it uncertainly.
"I really don't know, actually. Nobody does." Dylan said.
Mumble took a bite and spat it back out. "How do you eat that stuff?" He asked. "Maybe I'll just stick to fish."
Dylan shrugged and said "More for me then." and continued eating his pop tart. "Anyway, today's the day we have to design and build new Emperor Land." He reminded Mumble. "The first thing to do is to pick a spot for it. I assume you penguins will still want it near the ocean?"
"How else could we get food?" Mumble asked.
"Well, when we're done today, you'll be able to just make a pile of fish appear whenever you want." Dylan responded. "However if you're not there, near the ocean is a good idea. The spot we want should also be pretty flat and level so it will be simplest to build. Now, how do you think will be the fastest way to travel around and check for possible locations?" Dylan asked.
Mumble thought about it, than Erik guessed "You can fly Dylan!"
"That is true Erik." Dylan said "That would be the fastest way to search for a good spot, if it wasn't for the humans."
Dylan pulled out a laptop and fired up Google Earth. "They have an interactive, detailed, three dimensional map of the entire world! It's really quite impressive." Dylan scrolled over to the coast of Antarctica, zoomed in, and just moved up and down the coast, looking for a flat spot.
Finally, Mumble saw one and shouted, "Dylan Stop." "Right there." He said as he tapped on the screen with his flipper. Because the laptop had a touchscreen, Google Earth obediently went down to a street view, showing an abandoned humans base full of junk and old buildings.
"That looks like a good spot." Dylan said. "We'll have to clean out all that junk first, but it is flat, level, and near the ocean."
"But that's the forbidden shore." Mumble said. "As well as being really creepy and full of trash, it's full of killer whales."
"Right, I forgot you've been there." Dylan said. "Don't worry Mumble." Dylan said. "The trash will be easy to clear out, but the killer Wales will be even easier to scare off."
"How Dylan?" Gloria asked. "Maybe you don't know, but those things eat penguins."
"Mumble you have to stop thinking like a penguin and think like a god now." Dylan said "I have an energy capacity of forty yotta-watts, and you can do at least a hundred times that. Together we could literally vaporize the galaxy." "I think between you and me we can scare off a couple killer whales."
"But how do you plan to do it Dylan?" Mumble asked. "Well I basically plan to jump into the water and let them break their teeth trying to bite me, then start attacking them. A human and a penguin that are stronger than them should be enough to scare them off. If they come back again, then we just make them dissapear."
"It's that easy?" Mumble asked.
"Sure. You just wish something is not there, and then do it. Which brings us to todays lesson, physical manipulation. Then you will just need to learn teleportation, flying, and controlling pure energy, and you'll be ready to fight Ghaul. I'll teleport us out there for now though." Dylan said. "Once we're done we can come back to get the penguins."
Gloria and Erik jumped as Dylan and Mumble disappeared. "We're going to have to get used to some weird stuff Erik" She said
Mumble- So how is it you know so much about us? You literally met us two days ago.
Dylan- Well you see, the humans have these things called movies...
