Chapter 2:reality prt1

"AAAHHHHHHHHH" Marty woke up in a blood curdling scream of terror, sitting up from his lying position the steed breathed heavily his heart felt as if will beat out of his chest. Looking down at his barrel, the stallion breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing no injury or wound across his stomach region, but a putrid smell caught his nose, looking down again Marty made out the yellow liquid on his belly. The zebra scoffed to himself realizing he wet himself, realizing it was going to matt his coat he slowly got off of his sand couch, trotted to the edge of the ocean and began to wash it out. Upon finishing washing the stain out, the zebras' ears swiveled, catching the sound of music in the jungle, right then it hit him he was late for king Julien's party.

"Sugar Honey Iced Tea" Marty swore via acronym, now his friends will question why he's late, especially Alex. It's the fact that he's late to a special party Julien dubbed 'the fossa's fall celebration' and has requested the hero's of Madagascar to be the guests of honor in the celebratory banquet. In truth Marty never really thought of himself as being a hero and neither did his friends, the crackling pop of his fire pit spooked the zebra as he walked in to dry off quicker, sighing he shook his head the nightmare making him tense than he thought. Marty laughed it off realizing the fire scared him all because of a dream, but something felt off, ever since the fossa's defeat he had this portal flash in his mind. At first he thought nothing of it, but yesterday he was in a full sweat and watched another zebra like him get skinned alive and the scream he made felt all too real. though of course it could've been the bad mango he had for dinner and the rush to find a bush to fertilize the ground so to speak, thinking nothing of it he set out for the rave.

Marty trotted through the foliage, the same route he and his friends took when they first arrived, minus the tree branch smacking Alex's face. He loved the wild and everything about it, though he will miss it when he and his friends return to New-York. He slowed to a stop the monochromatic steed sighed, a bit sad that he would have to leave when they get the chance, but a part of him doesn't want to go back to central park zoo and deal with crowds and crowds of people that stare blindly at him, while he in turn remains trapped doing the same routine over and over. He loves the wild, he just wished there was a balance of the two, people and the wild, but there wasn't, it's just cities and zoo enclosures, dirty air, and emergency sirens. Thought he did like the Kentucky blue grass he got and the hoof polishing, his hooves were always spit shined with shoe polish every night.

Marty's ears swiveled as he was getting closer to the rave slowly going to a trot, Marty began to think back on the nightmare he had, specifically the creatures and the questions that plagued his mind. To start off the creatures, the steed has never seen a dragon of the like at all, he's only seen them in a book a kid showed him once, and they're usually on four legs, not two. Secondly, that gray and red human with black robes and horns, he was certain it was a human, but he hasn't seen one that violent at all, though something told him the humanoid wasn't, well, human at all. The other biggest question that was also in his mind was this empire and who was this Molag Bal, or why he wanted him dead, all these questions confused the zebra to the point it started to give him a headache. Sighing in defeat it'll bring more questions than answers and he didn't need that, right now he needed to party. He began to get his mind off the matter and come up with an excuse, knowing full well his friends will question him. Truthfully he doesn't like to lie to his friends, that and he's a terrible liar and Alex can see right through him, though funnily enough Alex the lion, too is a terrible liar, but for a situation like this Marty will have to get creative.

Standing at the edge of the lemur rave stood Marty's friends Alex the lion, Gloria the hippo, and Melman Mankiewicz III or simply Melman the giraffe, alex stood on his hind legs tapping his foot impatiently with his pawed hands on his hips. He seemed annoyed, Melman was worried as usual and Gloria was calm, which was strange. She was worried about him waking up in the middle of the night and nearly shitting himself after his second dream.

The lion sighed, annoyed "where in the world is he? He should've been here by now, hours ago actually and I'm getting worried?!" The three zoo animals or zoosters stood waiting correctly for hours, two hours actually, but it was enough to get them both worried and annoyed. Melman however was the most worried, though being a hypochondriac he was mostly worried about a lot of things and the majority of the time assumed the worst, but when it came to Marty currently the giraffe stirred out nonsense believing the zebra has malaria, or even pinworms.

The giraffe bit his lip "I'm sorry, I'm just worried about Marty, and with Marty sleeping in later than usual, evidence points out it could be a parasite". Gloria the hippo put her hands on her hips giving the giraffe the 'really' look not believing in his rants.

Alex shook his head not believing in the giraffe " seriously Melman, Marty doesn't have malaria or parasites. Come on I mean where did you hear about that anyway, Doctor Goldberg?".

The giraffe shook his head in response "no, medical weekly's issue 'parasites of the world', presented by doctor Lorien of Brooklyn. I had nightmares for a week after that". Both Alex and Gloria looked at Melman and sighed in disbelief and delusion.

"Doctor Lorien is from Jersey, not New-York" Alex explained face palming. Melman looked at him as if he was joking, but the lion wasn't, which in turn made the giraffe panic even more, but started to calm down once Gloria started to rub his neck.

"It's ok Melman-" she said in a soothing voice trying to calm him down "-Marty's going to be fine, he probably just forgot, we'll wait a bit longer". She had every right to be worried, the zebra's been acting really strange all of the sudden

The giraffe started to breathe deeply "i-i just worry about him, he almost died from the fossa and-" he looked at alex, to which the lion understood being responsible for Marty's injury and near death with the foosa. The giraffe looked apologetic "-Alex i'm sorry i didn't mean to". The lion waved him off " it's ok Melman".

"Hey guy's, is everyone ok?" an all too familiar voice broke the depressing silence, turning to it they all smiled to see the named zebra smile in his trade-mark smile. The steed just arrived to see his friends all downtrodden and being the curious one he is, he couldn't help but wonder why they're so down. At the back of his mind he could guess why they're down is that he was late and he usually isn't, in truth he was partially right, but weren't they glad to see him.

"Marty-" Gloria began worried for Marty "-is-is everything okay, you seem to be sleeping in more and we're worried?" Gloria, being the most protective of the group, felt uneasy to ask the steed, even though it's been two days since the fossa's defeat. The question being on her mind made her regret asking it, but Gloria knew Marty was strong willed and had a strong and brave heart, but what's been happening for the past began to change the equine.

A look of pain formed on Marty's face and ears falling flat, he greeted them and yet they shunned it off, though he could see where they're going, he too was worried and was nervous to ask them. " aren't you glad to see me?" the zebra spoke in a tad hint of pain. He tried to throw them off and change the subject, though it was thoughtful of them to worry, he just wanted to forget what happened, regarding his dream about this portal, or whatever it is.

Alex saw this and quickly diffused it "of course we're glad to see you-" he said, turning to Gloria and Melman who both gave a nod, he continued "-it's just we were all worried, you've been acting strange as of late". Marty's ears perked up, of course he's been acting strangely true, mostly to the late sleeping, now as for Alex talking to himself, that's strange.

Marty sighed he trusts them, but again he's still nervous about it, an interruption of pain went through his hind quarters, and began to feel the bite mark on his butt throb, courtesy of Alex. "You don't need to worry-" Marty said smiling through the throbbing pain, "-it's just the bite mark throbbing again". It was much worse than the bite itself, sure he gets a flare of pain from time to time, but not a raging throb of pain.

This got Melman's attention and quickly assumed the worst for Marty, "you might have an infection caused by Alexs saliva, who knows where his mouth has been!". Marty sighed at the giraffe's notion, but kept it in thought in case it might be an infection and if so, the zebra's going to have a word with his lion friend. Marty chuckled and a dirty, yet humorous thought entered his mind "oh i know where his mouth has been, his tongue touched the part of my butt, that i still can't get my mind off of". His friends laughed all except for Alex who grumbled at the joke to him replying "it took me a day to get the taste out of my mouth" they laughed harder.

The haunch pain and laughter was good enough to distract his friends from his late arrival, but Alex was looking at him with suspicion now, convinced that the zebra was hiding something. Not wanting to stay and stand around, Marty made the proposition that they start to dance and party, being that it's in their honor, courtesy of King Julien.

With the party going on smoothly the four separated and began to enjoy the festivities, Gloria and Melman decided to stay together, Marty began dancing amongst some lemurs and Alex was talking to some lemurs about New-York while at the same time kept an eye on Marty. Julien himself joined the party, enjoying the dancing, food, and ladies who were enthralled with the celebration. A strange feeling soon began to wash over the lemur king, as he began to feel dizzy. Going over to sit down his advisor Maurice consoled him, only to be waved off by the king stating he just needed some rest. After a while the effects were gone, yet something was off, he felt as if something was inside of him, not thinking it through he continued to party.

The Zoosters though weren't the only ones invited, the invitation of honor also went out to the penguins: Skipper, Kowalski, Private and Rico. The four in life of the zoo trained to be similar to that of commando's and followed a militaristic code of conduct, but from time to time they broke it. As for right now they enjoyed the party, even though Skipper wanted a tight nit surveillance around the place after hearing about some strange activity happening in the fossa's territory. Skipper looked around with suspicion in his eyes and distrust in his glare, his men were enjoying the festivities and keeping surveillance at the same time, but so much could go wrong and he wanted to make sure that didn't happen. Some bushes behind him shook, he nearly tackled the one who spooked him until he found out who it was, standing there Phil and Mason looked at him with surprise, obviously Skipper forgot they too were invited.

Private waddled over to Kowalski, the young recruit was not as gung ho as the others, but he knew when to throw a punch when it came to it. He worried for skipper, seeing him this paranoid made him wonder what was going on, he evidently asked Kowalski in his British American mix accent "say Kowalski, I'm starting to worry for skipper, he seems a bit out of it".

The lanky penguin nodded "his condition is more than just paranoia, but to that of a phobia hidden in plain sight-". Kowalski spoke, being the scientist of the squad and tech nerd, he began to chart down on the notepad of certain phobias or threats on the island. "-I'll have to do some research on this, this recon Skipper put up smells fishy and I mean more on the rotten kind". As Kowalski began to jot down some theories and notes, Private continued on his recon, unaware of the rave being watched.

Alex kept his eyes on Marty. He trusted him, but at the same time he didn't, but why, he was his best friend, his brother and he didn't trust him. He felt his stomach growling as he eyed Marty, the growling wasn't that of predatory hunger, but just regular hunger, he hated his predatory side, yet at times he still felt it gnawing at the back of his skull. Finding out the penguins were here, maybe he could ask if skipper had any fish leftover, a small break wouldn't hurt, it would help him get his mind off of Marty's suspicious behavior. He was about to find skipper until Julien stopped him and engaged in conversation.

"Ah mister Alex, I'm glad you and your friends made it, how are things going so far, nothing bad i hope, the raves i put on do sometimes get a little redonkulous" Alex was surprised Julien admitted that his raves get extreme, but as for any incidents, he shook his head.

"No, nothings wrong, just going to get some fish, but the party is great. Thanks for putting this in our honor, I needed to distress and have fun" Julien Laughed with a hearty laugh.

"Well don't let me stop you, have fun go eat!-" he turned to the crowd "-THE PARTY WON'T END UNTIL WE'RE FUCKED!" he began to dance back towards the cheering crowd, leaving a bewildered Alex behind. The lion has never heard julien say that before, it's not like him to be that way, but he could also be excited, Julien did say these raves get a little extreme. What surprised him the most was Marty cheering on Julien's cheer of 'fucking', of course Marty too gets hyper at parties, he chuckled at a memory of him and Marty in the zoo at night to summers ago, he may have laughed at the people, but boy was Marty embarrassed.

Meanwhile aroud the same time "-THE PARTY WON'T END UNTIL WE'RE FUCKED!" The lemurs and Marty cheered he loves parties, though it felt weird for him to cheer for that, but he didn't care. Marty danced with some giddy lemurs to the beat of the base from one of the lemurs' songs, dancing with him were several lemur females who 'loved being close' to the zebra and being around one of their saviors. He felt something touch his groin, looking down one of the females rubbed his sack while dancing seductivly. He was fortunate the song ended when it did with a large cheer from the crowd followed by them whistling to the band who began bowing. moments later they began playing again with more of a lighthearted romantic feel to it, per the king's request due to it being a romantic favorite for couples. Tired and wanting to get out from above the females, Marty decided to sit this one out, sitting on his haunches without aggravating his injury, the steed watched the young couples he could find slowly dance to the soft beat lit by the lantern flowers enjoying each others company and embrace.

"Excuse me, sir?" Marty looked down to his left, seeing a female lemur waitress looking up at him, "I'm Talice, head waitress of this kingdom, if you're hungry may I take your order?"

The stallion smiled "am i-" he said, his stomach gurgling from the offer of food, "I'll have a few mangoes please". The waitress bowed then left to get him his order. It wasn't long for him to get his order, Talice arrived with the platter of fruit the zebra requested, nodding in thanks Marty grabbed a mango and began to munch on it. The steed didn't mind eating fruit; it reminded him of eating an apple for the first time, though he didn't mind the Kentucky blue grass they had at the zoo; it got old after a while. He savored the sweet juices of the freshly picked mango. It brought him a feeling of delight, eating freshly picked fruits rather than eating the fruits the people gave him at the zoo filled with chemicals and whatnot. Upon thinking of the zoo Marty swallowed his mouthful and sighed, again he wanted to go back to New-York with his friends, but at the same time he didn't, knowing full well they'd be trapped there again with no chance of escape.

Marty's ears perked up after hearing the music's last high pitched beat as a finisher, the lemurs again cheering for the band along with those who were soon to be mates. He heard his friends cheer for them and began to cheer too. Marty loved romance and was glad for those who had it, but the thought of it made him stop cheering, was he ready for a relationship. Of course any female would be glad to have him, he is a thoroughbred stallion after all, but the thought of it scares him, was he ready to settle down and start a family. The thought scares him, he wanted foals, but if he were to do it at the zoo, the people would make it look like a science experiment and demand he do it their way. He huffed at that, he didn't like being negative, but just the thought unnerved him, being free was better than being in a zoo at least he didn't have kids reach through the bars and try to pull his tail, he swore that kid benched three fifty.

Marty sat and continued to eat more of his mangoes, his ears twitched to the sound of more music and growling, 'wait' he thought 'growling' looking around he soon spotted it. Behind him was the large titanic creature, its mouth dripped with saliva wanting to feed on the zebra's entrails, but it didn't stay long, just as fast as it arrived it disappeared. A worry soon befell him, why was it here, was it taunting him, or did it want to attack the rave unexpectedly, it didn't make sense. He stared, he just stared in a hypnotic thought at the spot not realizing that his name was being called.

"Marty- Marty" the zebra was shaken out of his stupor by his friend Alex who looked at him with worry, "you okay Marty, it looks like you've seen a ghost?". Alex has never seen Marty's black stripes turn gray, it almost looked like he saw a ghost.

The zebra nodded "yeah, yeah I'm fine" Marty said with his trademark smile, Alex smiled at that in thinking the zebra had lots on his mind and decided to let it go.

"Great, because King Julien wants to speak to you" the lion said, this threw Marty off. It surprised him that Julien, of all lemurs, wanted to speak with him. Curious, he put the mango he was going to eat down and left with Alex.

Walking their way past the partying lemurs, the two reached their destination of Julien's throne, the ring-tailed lemur being a big party animal himself had to stop Partying upon hearing about some disastrous news. A serious look of concern was his face, all he wanted was a good rave, seeing as how the last one was interrupted by the fossa and then the zoosters driving them off, of course it was more of a wedding than a party now that he remembered.

Still though, Julien just heard about the reports of a notorious narcotic resurfacing back into the kingdom and he needed help. The lemur king's gaze looked at the approaching friends, he smiled once he saw the zebra with him, it was a big thing for Julien to do this, he didn't want to, but he had too. Julien sighed, his advisor Maurice informed him of this danger and how this substance was a danger to any living thing on the island, even though he tried it himself all those years ago, he remembers how these berries almost killed him.

"You wanted to see me?" Marty asked, curious of what the lemur had to say. Alex patted Marty on the back, ensuring he would be fine before he left to go back to the party.

Julien gazed up towards the zebra, the equine looking down upon him with a smile, the lemur nodded, "yes, Mr .Marty, I need your help with a matter, regarding a few of my subjects.".

The zebra raised a brow, "okay, I'll help man, what's the problem?".

Sighing in relief Julien began, "Maurice informed me of a precarious substance coming back, he didn't tell me what it was, only that it was a type of berry found on the island.". Julien watched the zebra nod in understanding, he continued "what i want you to do is find out who's selling them and bring them to me, alright." he finished, with the steed nodding.

"Got it man, find whoevers giving out these berries, and bring them to you" Marty repeated to ensure that he could remember, but one thing he didn't know was the name of these berries, and why they were illegal.

After leaving with his meeting with the king, Marty decided if he was going to find whoever was giving out this substance, he had to blend in. He walked around hoping to catch something in the crowd or hear anything about this berry, his focus was halted when a female lemur tapped his right foreleg.

"Excuse me, is your name Marty?" she asked, standing by his hooves in a slight sultry manner.

The zebra nodded "yes, can I help you?" He sat down so she could talk.

The lemur chuckled and smiled, Marty raised a brow at what was so funny "i was just wondering if you wanted to have a dance with me-" she said walking under Marty's front barrel and around his forelegs gently and seductively touching them, "-since you are such a-big-strong-steed". She said those words while rubbing his lower barrel, he breathed sharply, feeling the tension in the air, and his groin. Again he breathed sharply, this time he felt her touch his sheath and play with his tucked stallion hood.

"Say-" an idea came to her mind after letting go of his sheath "how bout we ditch the party, my friends and i are having a party of our own and it wouldn't be one without a hot stud. What do you say?". Her proposal ended with an inquisitive request with a seductive look, she saw the zebra and sure enough he smiled. He may be looking for whoever has these berries, but a little 'fun' might not hurt, of course this would be his first time.

"Sure girl i'm down, where's this other party?" he accepted, but wondered where this other party was, yet at the back of his mind at the same time something was off. Truthfully he couldn't quite place his hoof on it, he shrugged it off not wanting to turn down another party, even though he digs all of Julien's parties, but her demeanor was, how to say it 'slutty'.

Smiling Latala handed Marty seven purple berries, the zebra looked confused as to why she's handing them to him, then juliens warning came to him about a certain berrie. Were these the berries or was it something else the zebra didn't know, to him the berries looked harmless being a light purple color and about the size of a blueberry if not a little bigger. However a certain shine caught his eye, a light glow emanated from them, again he just shrugged, it could be a native plant for all he knew.

He took them in his hoof "what kind of berries are these, and are they poisonous and why are they glowing?" Marty questioned, chuckling to himself almost sounding like Melman and his worried rants.

The female lemur shook her head, "no, they're not poisonous, they're called rave berries and are used to heighten one's senses and function, I gave you seven because you're bigger, to lemurs we only need one or two.".

He looked down at them in question and was hesitant, but if she says they're poisonous they're not poisonous, but what's with the glow, again shrugging it off he popped them into his mouth, chewed and swallowed. At first nothing happened, then in an instant his body began to get a tingling sensation and began to feel his senses heighten. At first his vision became sharper along with his hearing, he began to taste what was in the air and his skin became more sensitive to touch, lastly it was smell. He smelled a sweet scent in the air, it was right in front of him and coming from Latala, lowering down he sniffed her only to exhale in pleasure, his sheath twitching from her scent.

Alex watched from afar, only to see the zebra leave the party minutes after Julien spoke to him, the lion huffed why all of the sudden Marty Became special was beyond him. Again he huffed sulking about Marty, first it was his wish for the wild which made him run off only for them to get captured after they found him, then it was his ability to survive by building a cabana and taking care of his friends. Finally , he sighed in sadness, it was Marty saving him from himself, he almost killed his best friend and for what, sure he had to survive himself, but he didn't want to kill the zebra even though he wanted to, he just missed New-York. The lion skulked and was jealous of Marty, sure the zebra was envious of him back at the zoo, but now he was envious of the zebra all because of a little fame. The lion looked to where Marty was only to see nothing there, worry began to set in; he had to find his friends and inform them, but he didn't have to go far as they came up to him.

Gloria looked at Alex with concern "Alex honey what's wrong? Is everything okay, where's Marty?" Gloria questioned, her look of worry sparked Melman's concern for the zebra.

Alex shook his head "i don't know, one minute he was there the next he was gone" the lion was on the verge of panicking.

He would have panicked completely that is until Melman spoke "maybe he's just going to the bathroom". The giraffe was concerned until he thought of it, sometimes Marty did like privacy, especially when people were around.

Alex sighed in relief, concerned over his friend having a bowel movement, his worry slowly began to diminish, but at the same time he swore he saw someone with the zebra handing him something. What it was he didn't know, it was just the feeling in his stomach that something else was going on that involved his friend and he needed to find out what.

Chapter two folks, where did Marty go and what were these berries he took and who was that strange figure he saw, all will be explained in the next chapter. No flames please constructive criticism only, i like to hear what you think. (note): before chapter three is chapter two point five a lemon that can be found on archive of our own.
