So, uh, new chapter, I guess?
I did a bunch of research for this chapter. Not a lot, but I did do some.
So it will seem more, uh, what was the word?
Realistic?
No, the other one!
...
I remember the word! Realistic!
*face-palm*
Uh, we don't own any of the 'realistic' characters.
After another short argument, the penguins reluctantly fell asleep in that dark little room. Unable to get out, and Kowalski's 'cabin fever' getting worse, that seemed to be the quickest way to escape. Then, at least from what Skipper thought, they would wake up with a fresh new plan and go defeat the new villain, Dave.
But it really didn't go as planned.
Skipper woke up with a bad feeling in his gut. He tried to sit up, but then found, crowded around him, the rest of team.
"Everybody up!" Skipper shouted, but found his voice slightly muffled, and bounced off the walls a bit. But not a lot, and the walls seemed very close.
Almost immediately, the whole team was awake. They all also tried to get up, but it was then learned that they were in a confined space.
"We're in a box!" Manfredi meekly yelled.
Rico hacked up a glow-in-the-dark stick, and now that everyone could see, they saw that they were indeed in a box. A small wooden one, very stuffed with all six penguins in it. But it wasn't too stuffed, and the team was able to untangle and lean against the sides if the box. They were still very squished, but at least they were all upright now.
"Now what?" Private asked, looking at his friends. Kowalski and Johnson were leaned over a bit, the top of the box being too small for the tall guys. Rico had to hunch over a bit, too.
"We break out! Rico, crowbar!" Skipper exclaimed.
Rico proceeded to throw up a crowbar, but not without hitting Manfredi in the face first.
"Ow!" Manfredi shouted, putting his flipper over his eye. Skipper caught the crowbar before it hit anyone's foot, luckily.
Skipper shoved the crowbar in the corner and pushed it with Kowalski's help. The side of the box burst open, and the side fell down. Skipper lost his grip and fell after the crowbar, down and down.
"Gah!" he yelled, but was stopped short after a few feet. Looking up, he saw that Private had grabbed his foot and fell out too, then Johnson had grabbed Private's foot, and Manfredi had grabbed Johnson. As Kowalski and Rico pulled them all back up, Skipper said: "Good work, boys."
Kowalski leaned out the open side of the box. "We're over open ocean!" he said.
"I noticed, I was kind of dangling over it," Skipper said.
"Look!" Private shouted, and they all looked out the open side to see an approaching figure in the water. You shouldn't have been able to see it during the night, but for some reason it was illuminated with lights. Specifically a lighted torch the figure held on its hand.
"It's Lady Liberty!" Johnson exclaimed in excitement, hugging Manfredi.
Manfredi smiled joyfully. "We haven't seen her for so long!" The two gleefully cheered.
"Stop cheering like giddy schoolgirls, look!" Skipper exclaimed, as they flew into the city. "We're approaching Central Park!"
Indeed they were approaching Central Park. They went down the path that all the penguins knew by heart.
They passed the Freedom Tower. "That's new!" Johnson shouted in excitement, looking at the tall building.
They passed the Empire State Building. "Just like I remembeh it!" Manfredi commented.
They went through Times Square and soon the ground under them was green. They went over the Central Park Pond, and soon they saw, coming into bounds, the zoo.
Manfredi and Johnson hugged each other again like 'giddy school girls' and gave shouts of delight. They went into the zoo and began lowering down. The wooden box carefully landed right in the middle of the penguin habitat.
The penguins quickly jumped out. Manfredi and Johnson first searched the dark zoo with their eyes. The rest of the penguins went back to face and see what had brought them there.
"It's one of the North Wind's robots!" Kowalski exclaimed. They looked on at the bright blue robot, hovering inches above the box which had apparently brought them there.
I forgot to describe the robots to you. They were blue or white in nature, with a rectangular or oval body, with box heads. They were made if smooth and clean metal, and seemed to be fine prices of work. On the robots stomachs were small screens that usually had many words on them, showing the commands it had received. This particular robot was blue, with an oval body and square head.
The head tilted down towards the penguins and they watched as the words on the screen changed. Kowalski squinted his eyes as in an attempt to read them, but Skipper wanted a quicker source. He grabbed Johnson away from observing the zoo and told him to read it.
"Command: Bring box to penguin habitat, Central Park Zoo," the one-eyed penguin read. "Message: Stay safe."
"Stay safe?" Private asked.
"Message?" Skipper asked.
"From the North Wind," Johnson continued to read, looking below the screen at the North Wind's logo that had been stamped onto the robot. It was a large display of two letters; NW; that were made to look like icebergs. Around that was a grey circle that had some words in it. "No one breaks the wind." Johnson read it.
"The North Wind must have sent us back here!" Kowalski exclaimed.
"Good, it gives us a head-start. Let's go get some supplies and go get Marlene!" Skipper exclaimed.
"Badie badi wo-bot?" Rico asked, pointing to the robot, that suddenly got up and flew away with a wish.
"I guess that wehks," Manfredi said with a shrug and a smile, and the penguins descended into the HQ.
I have a very special surprise for my peoples next chapter!
*cringes* Be prepared. It won't be pretty.
Thanks and please review! See you all next time!
