A/N; Here's where the penguins sent in come into play. As I told you before, they play a big part in this chapter!

3rd PoV

There were groups of depressed penguins leaving the grave of a brave agent here and there. One in particular should be watched.

"Man," Brittney spoke, feeling depressed. "I can't believe this is actually happening!"

"Hunter will be forever missed by us all." Ace told the other 5 she waddled with.

"Bellykid was quite the mess there too!" Daisy cried, still having some tears running down her face.

"Not the only one." Rikka sniffled. "I think everyone that was there was a huge mess. I still can't believe Rookie was the exact monster that killed her."

Ace sighed. "I don't think anybody saw that coming. He even said himself he didn't remember anything! He claimed that he always woke up in bed every morning like normal. He didn't know something was off."

Cuddles gently pushed her glasses farther up onto her face. "Except the first time when we found him in Ski Village. Well, if anything, it was more Hunter than the rest of us that were there. Then there was the last night, of course. I guess that does prove that there is an inner monster in us all. No matter how sweet and innocent they may seem."

Violet looked down, fiddling with the gem around her throat. "I remember Hunter complementing me about how pretty my necklace was."

"Agreed." Brittany told Cuddles, ignoring Violet.

Sighing, Violet spoke again. "I'm glad Rookie doesn't turn into a beast anymore, but I still just wish I could have gotten to know Hunter better. She sounds like a really great-"

There was a rustle in the bushes to their left, causing them all to spin and face the source.

"Who's there?" Ace demanded.

Silence met them.

"Don't make us come in there!" Violet called.

There was an almost audible gulp as Herbert emerged from the bush. He was a bit of a mess himself, what with his sniffling and tear filed, red puffy eyes.

"Herbert!" They all growled out in unison. However, Ace saw his condition and held out her flippers so she could hold everyone back, stopping them from attacking.

"What ploy do you have for us now Herbert?" Rikka demanded of the poler bear. "Try to fool us into thinking your really sad about the death of an agent, then capture us? Then what? We'd beat you no matter-"

She was silenced when Herbert lunged forward and shoved his paw over her beak. He looked around, but was surrounded by the 5 agents, the 6th shoving him away.

"Herbert P. Bear , Esquire, you are under arrest! You have the right-" Ace was interrupted.

"Yea, yea, I know my rights. How do you think I earned the title esquire? Anyway, I swear, I'm not here on bad terms. In fact, I really do miss her."

"Nice ruse!" Daisy told him. "But it's not fooling us! There's no way you could care about anyone but yourself."

That struck a nerve. "Fine then!" He told them all. "Don't believe me! I don't care! Just don't you ever say again that I'm incapable of caring for others. That's one thing about me you have wrong." And with that, Herbert stormed away, back to his cave, a big plan forming.

How dare they accuse him of being unable to love others! hvmc5 was one of his favourite agents! She always put up a good fight! Always gave him a new challenge! She was what strengthened him. She and the memory of his dead girlfriend are what kept him going! They would soon see how much he cared. Herbert simply grinned.

Hunter would be alive again if it was the last thing he did.

The 6 girls had just entered Ski Village and were about to enter the HQ when Jet, Dot, and G raced out of it. "Hey, Rikka!" Jet called out.

Internaly, she was excited, bet externally, she kept a cool and calm demeanour. "Oh, hi Jet-Pack Guy! What's going on?"

"We heard you had a run in with Herbert!" G explained to them. "We just wanted to make sure you 6 were alright."

"Oh, well, yea, we're OK."

"Great! Let's get you girls into the HQ." Dot told them. "Wouldn't want anything bad happening to you."

They were about to enter when The Ultimate Protobot rolled out on a... a circus ball.

"What?!" Jet questioned. "Is this some sort of distraction or something?" Then Rookie came out and was hit by the robot's arm, knocking him out.

"ROOKIE!" They all cried out. Jet-Pack Guy and Rikka shooed the nusance away as the others surrounded the victim, yelling his name, trying to get him to awaken.

The tiny green one groaned. It hurt. All the voices were hurting his head. He tried really hard to stay up, he really, did, but he couldn't help it. He really couldn't.

Rookie fainted.

A/N; Next chapter's the last one! I can't believe it! Then again, I wanted it done be Remembrance day. Looks like it's gonna happen! Yays! Sorry this chapter's a bit short, the the finale will be worth it! I promise!
