Kowalski's Lab

9:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time

(Kowalski's POV)

We managed to make it back to HQ right as the Julian Clones reached the penguin habitat I closed the hatch behind me. "Kowalski engage Lockdown procedure 3." "Engaging Lockdown procedure 3," Kowalski shouted from the defense control panel. "Full Base Lockdown engaged." "Kowalski why did the cloning machine make Julian clones," Skipper replied. "Hmm…it still ready to clone the waitaha," I said, "must be a malfunction…it was designed to run off a higgs boson particle…not Macuffium 2-39. I know I should have modified the fuel cells."

"Great," Skipper said. "Unless…Rico you don't happen to have another one?" Rico tried to hack stuff up but found nothing, "nope." "oh well," I said, "let me see what wrong with it." I went up the machine and went thru the system code. "Hmm it seem someone installed a program that only works when we're not around," I said. "What?" Skipper said, "how does it know we're not around." "As a safety measure I added sensors that sense when somebody is in the room…and if they don't detect anybody the clone-a-tron will automatically go into stand by mode." "And…" "It seems somebody hacked into it and now it will just switch to an unauthorized program when we're not here," I said. "Blowhole," skipper replied. "No," a voice said, "Hans the puffin!" "Lockdown procedure 3 shut down." "Ah heck," Rico said. The Army of Julian clones appeared. "Brainwashed julian clones," Hans shouted, "attack!"

"Ahhhh!" all the brainwashed julian clones appeared. "What's with the metal helmats strapped to their heads," Skipper asked as Hans wiped out a controller. "IT's seems those helmets allow someone complete control of a victims mind and body." "Mind control helmet," I said. "Dance…" Hans said. All the mindcontrolled julian clones started to dance. "resume the attack!" All the Julian clones jumped us as we stuggled to escape. "Julian is a good fighter when he's controlled by someone who knows how to fight." "Skipper tell me as your world is rocked by an army of mindcontrolled clones who look like you best…" "JULIAN AND I ARE NOT FRIENDS!" "right," private said. Hans typed something into the controller and all the julian clone spoke at once, "TELL THE TRUTH YOU AND JULIAN ARE FRIENDS!" "You can't force me to admit to something that isn't true." "Just the distraction I needed," Kowalski said push a button. "Reversing Julian cloning…" "No!" Hans shouted. The door to the cloning machine opened and all the julian clones were sucked in. The clones were ripped from the mindcontrol helmets which clattered to the ground.

And then real Julian was sucked in, "No this is outrageous I'm not a clone you stupid machine!" "Help me penguins!" Julian said as the door closed in his face. The door locked and the machine started to shake. "What's happening!" Private shouted. "WE have to get him out of there!" I shouted pushing random buttons. "Cloning reversal can't be undone…" The machine jumped and shaked and unleashed colored bursts of light. The machine the stopped and the door opened and Julian feel out. "Cloning reversal complete…errorously grabbed original has been releashed….unauthorized cloning program detected activating self-diagnostic." After a few minutes the self-diagnostic was finished. "Unauthorized cloning program removal failed." "What!" I said. "Unable to remove program until it has finished executing." I located hans' program and tried to shut it down. "The program was designed to be unable ot close until the program runs it's course." "Why are you doing this," Skipper said.

"This time I'm not in the wrong," Hans said, "you are." "Um…why?" Skipper said. "The War against Extinction is wrong…nature selected some species for extinction for a reason…what will your species' reason for extinction be? Trying to defy nature by reversing the process of extinction?" "We lost too many good birds to extinction…too many!" Skipper said, "and by the way I declared all those years ago in antartica…I DEFY NATURE!" "And now your about to pay for those words," Hans said. "Kowalski cloning process complete…" And twenty clones of me flowed out of the machine….and Hans quickly used our anti-grav gun to put the mind controlled helmets on them. Hans pulled up his controller and spoke into it, "Kowalski Clone's attack!" And then suddenly all the kowalski clones started to laugh. "I didn't say laugh! Attack!" "No!" All the Kowalski's shouted. "Um why not?" Skipper said. One of the kowalski's clone appeared, "well the one thing we all inherited from Kowalski…other then his genius…is his loyality to skipper." "Blast," Hans said, "Kowalski's loyality is too strong." "so basically attacking our teammates would violate the penguin credo…and go against everything Kowalski stands for."

"Plus…I think he need a little help in the lab…" "um…yes I do need some extra flippers," I said, "To science!" "To Science!" all the clones of me replied. "Like we need anymore Kowalski's running around." "Catch me if you can penguins," Hans said as he ran out of the base. "After him!" Skipper said, "And kowalski will you stay behind and watch the machine!" "Sure!" All the clones and I said. "I meant the original Kowalski!" one of the future Kowalskis showed up, "I'm the orignal Kowalski," he said. And then the other future Kowalski showed up, "well I'm the first original Kowalski." "Woah…" both future Kowalski's said, "that's a lot of clones." "Well aren't we a good looking group," one of the kowalski's clones said. "Um…I'm confused," Private said. "After hans!" Skipper, Private, rico, and all twenty kowalski's clones left the base. That left me and my two future selfs, "so now what?" "We watch the machine and fight whatever else is in Hans's cloning program." "Smilodon Cloning engaged…also this program has nothing to do with the sensors in fact it was designed to run while the system is in standby." "Oh come on now!" the three of us shouted.
