First and foremost, I wanna apologise for the unannounced Hiatus I've been on. A bunch of Family (My brother's depression and my step-fathers recent hospitalisation) and School drama (Curtosy of a girl I used to call my friend making my life an emotional hell)
But I'm back now and I'm not stopping until I've atleast finished this story, which I hate to announce is only two more planned chapters. This update is short because it's to set up for the next two.
Once again, I want to deeply apologise to everyone that my Hiatus caused any inconvenience too. But, I got the wake up call that I needed yesterday and realised just how long I've been gone. I understand if I've lost many followers and I won't be upset, it's my own doing.

"Three minutes to Lair destruction"
Shauna sighed in the still air, wiping what remained of the tears she'd shed. She sniffed and glanced around the room. As tall and long as a warehouse with stone walls and floor, several machines and experiments of Blowhole's lined along the sides.
She choked out a laugh, imagining what Chase would say if he were here now…. Probably something along the lines of 'Toldja he was a big baby….look at all his toys'.
The robotic voice had been calling out for a while now…. Shauna just ignored it. She should have known better than to believe Blowhole had kept their mother alive, it seemed at the time she didn't have any choice but to simply believe him. Now…
She gulped down roughly on the air, forcing down what she believed to be her last breaths. An odd feeling of calm washed over her.
This was it. There was no way of stopping it, so why even try?
She squeezed her eyes shut, thinking back to her what Chase had last said to her.
"We can't l-lead them to b-blowhole Shauna….he'll….he'll k-kill 'em… They're good people…. Forget it…forget the m-mission…help 'em get their friends b-back some other way… Dad wouldn't have w-wanted this…"
But he wasn't our dad….Shauna thought bitterly. He wasn't a badger… he left us for a stupid army… who cares if he was a penguin general….I don't … neither did mom, she just wanted him home… that lobster….. That lobster killed him for Blowhole…
Shauna choked down another sob, the sound echoing in the eerie quiet of the room. She turned the army knife over and over in her hands. Her leather gloves stretching against the jagged saw like side of the blade.
I'm sorry Chase….I'll see you one day…. I'll tell mom and dad you said hi.

"Two minutes to Lair destruction"
"Shauna!" Karen screamed through the lair as she slid through the corridors, passing several lobsters who were rushing down the opposite way to the exits. "Where are you?!"
Come on girl….don't do this now… Karen mentally pleaded, turning down another corridor. "Shauna! We need to go!" Karen jumped to her feet as she passed the invention storage room, hearing a faint sob above the blaring alarms.
"Shau-" Karen screamed out when pain suddenly shot down her back, sending her sliding across the corridor. She pushed herself up and glared towards the dolphin riding towards her.
"Did you really think it would be that simple?" Blowhole growled. "No one double crosses me!" He aimed the laser down at her, firing again just as Karen rolled to the side to avoid it.
"And I don't let anyone get away with trying to kill my family!" She shouted back at him. Rage fuelling her as she grabbed the lever from the control panel, ripping it off its hinges and charging.

"Skippah!" Private smiled and hugged his father when he entered into the dungeons.
Skipper smiled, hugging his son back before saluting to Kowalski and Rico. "Good to see you two still in one piece"
"Good to still be in one piece sir" Kowalski smiled, saluting back.
Rico nodded before hacking up a set of keys and tossing them to Skipper. "Va va voom!"
Skipper blinked down at the keys and nodded. "Alright men, let's high tail it out of here before this place is blown sky high"
