Chapter 14

A Fight in the Dark

Skipper tried to look at Private's face, but he could barely see a thing, but he knew one thing, his enemies were in front of them and ready to fight. Life seemed to feel like the end for a minute, Skipper just hoped that if he died, he'll die with his only family standing beside him. He felt the wall behind him, there was defiantly no way out. He touched Private's shoulder as a comforting gesture, but it wouldn't work, Private was shaking, he could hear the youth's heart pounding out of his chest. It made Skipper mad to see his son so afraid of his real dad and Blowhole, what all did they do to him? Skipper stood in front of Private and tried to face the villains, though it was hard to see them.

"End of the line, Spike and Blowhole," he said as tough as he could.

"It's not the end of the line until your dead and Private is on the dark side." Spike snarled.

"Why do you want Private on the dark side so badly?" Skipper asked, a little naively.

"Because if you didn't show up that one night he would be," Spike shouted.

"You're just so determined to have him on the dark side that you don't even know what's best for him!" Skipper yelled.

"Oh, I think I know what's best!" Spike yelled back.

"Your own son is cowering at the sight of you, is that not sad to you?" Skipper asked. Spike snickered.

"That's a sign of power," he said. Skipper scowled.

"That's just sad," he said, taking a step forward.

"I just can't wait to kill you," Spike said. Skipper heard Blowhole's Segway pull up some.

"Hello? He's my villain, too," he said, a little whiny.

"Back off, dolphin, I've known him longer," Spike said. Skipper could just hear the rage build up inside Blowhole. Then, there was a large smack, and Spike had crashed into Skipper and Private. He heard his son grunt and fall to the ground. Skipper grabbed his flipper, at least he thoughts it was Private's, the flipper he had grabbed was bigger. Skipper received a punch to the beak and he stumbled backward.

Skipper tasted his own blood that had dripped from his beak. He wiped it off quick and put his flippers in front of him to make sure he didn't run into anything. Then, he received a punch in the stomach. But he heard that childish grunt and he felt the littler flipper. He grabbed the flipper and pulled him closer.

"Private, chill, it's me," he said. He felt the flipper he was holding relax and Private turned around; he and Private were back to back, facing whoever came into their path. "Be careful," Skipper said.

"Yeah, you too," Private said.

"Kill them all!" He heard Blowhole scream. His lobsters must have been backing him up.

"Not my son!" Spike shouted at Skipper's right. "What are you doing?"

"Silly pen-goo-in, I had a plan to dispose of you and Private a long time ago, you know, once you proved yourself you couldn't be a villain, which is exactly what you're doing," Blowhole explained with an evil chuckle. "Now, my lobsters, kill the pen-goo-ins, for the final time!" And with that, Skipper heard battle cries all around him.

Kowalski held Doris's flipper as they, Rico and Marlene walked in the dark. They had heard screaming and walked to that. He heard Skipper and Spike, shouting about their son, he could tell there would be a fight sooner or later. He turned to the females.

"I've got a plan, you girls go to the control room and turn the power back on, once it's on, we can get Skipper and Private out of here." He explained.

"Are you sure?" he heard his sweet love ask.

"Positive, those two need us more than ever. Hurry!" he said. He heard the girls run away to find the control room.

"Come on, Doris, it should be this way," he heard Marlene say and then, the sound of running paws and a humming Segway was no more. Kowalski sighed and wished them luck in his mind. He motioned Rico to come and followed the sound of the shouting and creped to it. Kowalski gently pulled his body closer to a corner and poked his head out, though he couldn't see anything, he could hear the conversation, louder than ever. He could tell, Blowhole, Spike, Skipper and Private are right in front of him. All he and Rico had to do was wait for the lights to come on.

Marlene and Doris ran to the control room. Marlene listened closely for the sound of beeping or just any sound of electronics. But, she could finally see something; she saw something green and walked closer to it. She slowed down and walked in. she realized it was the control room; thank the Lord the door was open for her to see inside. She jumped onto the stool and looked at the screen. She could see every hallway; the cameras were night vision, so she could see.

"Night vision?" she asked.

"Yep," Doris confirmed and looked around for the power button. Marlene put her paw on her chin.

"Wow, Kowalski was right, villains do get the good stuff," she muttered.

"I found the switch!" she heard Doris whisper loudly from behind. Marlene walked over to the switch and flipped it on. Then, the power flicked on. The girls covered their eyes and then smiled at each other.

Skipper was feeling around but all of a sudden, the power came on! He flinched and shielded his face, but let his eyes adjust. He looked around and saw lobsters running to him with fierce battle cries. He got into battle stance quickly and fought them off. One lobster pinched his flipper and all of a sudden, he felt like he had no use of it. He grunted and grabbed his flipper.

"Don't use your flippers!" a voice screamed at him. Skipper looked around and saw Kowalski and Rico. Rico went over to beat Lobsters while Kowalski came to Skipper's aid.

"Kowalski?" he asked. Kowalski didn't exactly answer him but just checked his flipper.

"Yeah, just don't slap or punch, just kick, they can't pinch your feet that quick, and aim for the face," he ordered. Skipper looked at him for a second and just nodded. He didn't know where his team came from, but he was just glad they were with them. Rico kicked a lobster in the face and waddled up to Skipper, he offered a high-five and Skipper accepted it.

"Yeah!" Rico squatted and continued to fight. Skipper chuckled and kicked a lobster in the face. He looked around his surroundings; they were in another long hallway, surrounded by lobsters. He turned around and searched for Private. The younger cadet had kicked a lobster in the face and did a sly smile. He let out a childish battle cry and grabbed one by the shoulders; he swung the helpless lobster and knocked him into two others. He chuckled at their scream and then kicked another. Skipper smiled a bit, Private had always been the good guy; you could never change that, even if you forced him.

He looked over and saw Rico, with a crazy smile and he was throwing grenades at every lobster in his path. Kowalski was sticking to his own method and kicked the lobsters in the face once or twice. Skipper had realized that had to be the best unit he had ever had, nobody could beat him and his men.

"Skippah! Look out!" Private's squeaky voice rang out, jerking Skipper back to reality. He turned around and saw Blowhole with a laser pointed at him. He gasped and jumped out of the way. As Skipper hit the dirt, he looked around and saw that the laser beam was flying right at Private. The youth thought quick and grabbed a lobster and used it as a shield. The laser hit them and they were forced back, the lobster was roasted and Private dropped him and blew his flippers that were filled with steam. Blowhole cackled with glee and fired it again, but this time at Spike. Spike acted quick and just jumped out of the way. He toppled over and knocked Skipper down.

Skipper jumped to his feet and pushed Spike to the ground. Kowalski and Rico ran to their leader's side and jumped back to back to back. All the lobsters were down and it was just them and Blowhole and Spike. Spike stood up and grabbed Private's shoulders, his face looked black from recent explosions. Private looked at him with a bit of fear.

"Are you okay?" he asked the youth. Private nodded.

"Why do you care so much?" he asked.

"I was too hard on you, son, I've realized that now. You're still my son, and no matter what anybody has told you, I love you and don't forget it," Spike said, shaking Private's shoulders.

"Well, I'm glad you got that off your chest, Spike," Blowhole said and approached them with the laser in his flippers and a smirk. "Because it's time to annihilate you,"

"Please don't," Spike pleaded. Spike and Private backed up against a wall and eyed the laser with fear.

"It's not personal, Spike, it's just business. I made a promise that I force myself to keep," Blowhole said, evilly and loaded the laser. He pointed it at them, and did an evil laugh.

"No!" Skipper screamed. The world had slowed down for a second. He looked at Spike and Private's face as they gripped the wall. They looked exactly the same, both chubby face were filled with fear. But, Skipper saw the wheels turning in Spike's head, the penguin grabbed Private's flipper and pulled him out of the way. The light green beam was too bright to see what happened after that.

"I LOVE YOU!" A voice rang out.

"Ah!" Private screamed and was flying out of the way of the explosion. He landed on the floor and slid to his team. They scooped him up and examined him. Private pushed them away and looked back.

"Dad!" he screamed. In front of Blowhole, was a wall with a huge hole and steam floating above the edges. And Spike was no more.

SNIFF! Sad stuff! I know Spike's chacter was changed around a bit but he IS crazy. A lot of villains are. Well, i've gout finals to study for, wish me luck!

Bye! Review please! ;)
