Okay. This one is going to have a bit of a twist in it. And, to the story.
The week had been calm. All their enemies had stayed quiet. Well, Blowhole was still yelling at DB, but that is to be expected. Today, DB had decided to take a stroll around the zoo, while avoiding the visitors. He had gotten up to the clock tower and was enjoying the veiw, until he seen an enemy of his stop in the park, look at him and grin. The enemy ran off. DB picked up a radio that came out of nowhere and said, "Guys, I've noticed one of my enemies. Also, the author teleported this radio to me." He threw the radio before jumping off the clocktower to chase his enemy. This one happened to be the falcon, Mastermind. "Come on. Are you slowing down too uch to keep up?"
DB put all he had into running, he slowly gained on Mastermind. Blowhole began to yell at him, "Stop! He is leading you to a-" but he was suddenly cut off by something and DB had followed Mastermind into a clearing.
DB slid to a stop when he noticed that it wasn't just the two of them. There was also Traitor and Avenger. "Well. This is just great. I can't beat you three when you work together. "
Traitor chuckled. "Especially with you weakening." DB's eyes grew wide. "Don't freak out. Diablo doesn't know. If he did, he'd just come and kill you."
DB raised an eyebrow. "Why are you not telling him? Also, why can I not hear Blowhole?"
Mastermind answered the second question. "You can't hear Blowhole because we set up an EMP grid so that any and all technology fails, this way you can speak freely."
Avenger answered the first question. "We want to have a challenge to defeat you." DB nodded, as he could see it as a plausible answer. Avenger then continued. "We also found out how you can get your strength back."
DB visibly lightened up. Avenger tossed a CD to him, and DB caught it. He was smiling until he seen what the disk was. "Is...Is this mine?"
Mastermind nodded. "Ya. We took it from your house."
DB had an unreadable expression. "I don't know whether to be impressed or scared. Scared because you know where I live. Impressed because you could actually get in to take this. Even I have trouble when I turn the defense system on."
Traitor chuckled. "Well, you should actually be scared. Can't tell you why, though. So, just take that and enjoy listening to it." The three began to leave.
"Wait." They turned ot him. "How is this supposed to help me?" He held up the disk.
Traitor picked up Avenger and left, while Mastermind answered. "Listen to it. I'm sure you'll find the answer. Also, once we leave, the grid will fall down." He then gave a small smile before flying away.
His earpiece began working again. "Are you there? What happened?"
DB sighed and decided for a half truth. "They delivered a message."
Before Blowhole could ask, Skipper came in. "DB!" DB turned towards the others and they all entered the clearing. "Where are they?"
"They left. The author made sure you would be held back long enough for them to get away."
All the penguins blinked. Private asked, "What do you mean by 'the author'?"
DB chuckled slightly. "You guys evidently can't break the fourth wall like me. Otherwise, you would know about the author." He then slid off with four confused penguins following behind him.
H.Q.
DB dropped down, followed by the other penguins. "So, what were they doing?"
"Well, they delivered this to me." He held up the CD.
"What is it?"
DB sighed. "Well, they know about me weakening." They all gasped. "I know. Anyways, this is a message from them." He smiled slightly. "I'm sure to like it."
The other penguins exchanged looks. "How can you like soething that is from your sworn enemies?"
DB simply chuckled. "If only you knew about all the plot twists the author can throw in."
Kowalski leaned down to Skipper. "I think him weakening has effected his mind."
DB came up between them. "It hasn't. I've always been able to break the fourth wall. I've done it a couple of times for the intros. But, I just haven't done it often during chapters."
Skipper rolled his eyes. "Whatever. What do you think is on the disk?"
DB stared at Skipper, blankly. "This came from my enemies. What do you think?"
"Don't know. Don't know your enemies. Also, the 'author' isn't giving me the information."
DB sighed. "Well, what do archenemies usually give you when you are weakening when they don't want to kill you just yet?"
"Threats of some sort with them bragging about how they've found how to defeat you and will use it to crush you, all the while pointing out that you have no way of stopping them." All eyes turned to Private. "What? I watched a lot of movies on that subject."
DB shook his head. "Yeah. That is the cliche villain thing to do."
"alright. Should we listen to it?"
"I will."
Striker lept down the ladder. "Guys. We got a mission." The penguins lept out, DB leaving the disk on the table.
Somewhere in the city
The three villains were sitting on a building. Traitor asked, "Why did you not tell him the true reason?"
Avenger chuckled. "Do you really want more than one audience to know?"
Traitor nodded. "Good point."
Mastermind sighed. "I really hope the CD will help DB."
Traitor nodded. "Well, it is supposed to, according to the script. Doesn't mean the author won't change it again."
Avenger replied, "Ya. He changes that thing way too often."
Diablo walked next to them. "What are you three idiosos talking about?"
"How the author changes the script too often." Traitor answered with a shrug.
"Si. I haven't read this one since I'm not in it often enough. I know when I come in, but that is it. We have work to do, though. Come on." The group headed off to parts unknown.
Well, there you have it. Ya. I had to have a chapter with some breaking of the fourth wall since I haven't had a whole lot of that in my stories. I mean, in my other stories, it happens at least once. Sometimes, there is a relentless assult on it, only to be stopped by a fight scene or needing to move the plot along. Anyways, review, please. It will help bring a good chapter.
