4:35 The Harbor
"Alright team," Bentley said, "I'm ready to launch my mechanical dolphins. They'll be able to detect any incoming pirates from within a few miles."
"Impressive, matey!" Henriette marveled, "You be quite a genius."
"He sure is, Henriette..." Murray agreed, but not sounding sure of himself, "uh...yeah..."
"What's wrong, Murray?" Bentley asked him.
—"I...uh...Nothing. Nothing's wrong, I swear! 'The Murray' is absolutely fine."
"Right...Okay then," Bentley said, not really believing him, "let's get to work."
Murray took a look at Henriette and blushed. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, Penelope was hiding from behind the ruined lighthouse and took out her binnocucom.
"Red Rum Roger, are you there?"
"Aye, Captain," replied the bird, "But I be a bit confused. Why am I forced to wear this thing?"
—"Don't ask. Even I don't know why that is. But anyway, can you remind me how to control that submarine we built together?"
"Aye, Captain. You be needing to hold the R1 button and select it from the menu. Then, when you're near water, drop it in with the circle button. Then, we you be in the briny blue, hit the square button to fire strange arrows."
"Thanks, Roger. You really are a good paw-I mean, pirate," the mouse woman said, almost blowing her cover.
"Thanks, matey," said Roger, none the wiser, "I always be working for the best."
"Right...um...Okay, where was I?" Penelope thought out loud to herself, "Oh, right. Time to deploy my RC Submarine!"
Once Penelope dropped her submarine into the water, it sensed the amount of mechanical dolphins Bentley sent into the ocean by displaying a counter. It revealed that there are a grand total of ten dolphin robots. Penelope found it took four torpedoes to and destroy each of the dolphins, which had gotten harder and harder to do with each dolphin robot destroyed. The dolphins soon became faster, they gained new attacks, such as different swimming formations that would do some damage if she got too close. After the third dolphin was destroyed, they started activating shields that had been upgraded once the fifth dolphin was toast. She also noticed the dolphins were able to repair themselves with time, so simply attacking some of the dolphins and saving them for later didn't work. But eventually, Penelope was able to defeat them all.
"Take that, slowpoke," Penelope gloated as her RC submarine made its way out of range. She the summoned her Black Beard mech and quickly retrieved her RC Submarine. Bentley noticed Black Beard leaving.
"Guys! Black Beard!" Bentley cried, "Why didn't my dolphins detect anything yet? Could that disturbance they picked up earlier have anything to do with this?" He tried to call back the dolphins, but to no avail. "On no! My dolphin robots! Something must've destroyed them!"
"It looks like Penelope had some help!" Sly pointed out.
"I be a bit angry at Morgan for not staying behind like we asked!" Henriette said, "We be chasing that no-good rat by now!"
"Sorry, Bentley," Carmelita said as she tried to comfort Bentley.
"Penelope..." Murray could only say as he clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles in anger.
Bentley notices a small tunnel underneath of the lighthouse.
"Not to worry, guys. I think I might be able to follow her after all." Bentley started to make his way through said tunnel. Murray tried following Bentley but was stopped by Henriette when she points out how small the tunnel is for him.
Bentley followed Black Beard to a ship graveyard.
"With many grounded and ravaged ships," Bentley said to himself, disregarding anyome who might hear him, "it is very easy to get lost without the compass."
Bentley wheeled himself around, still tailing Black Beard indirectly. He was sure he found the right path, but it ended with a wall.
"Drat..." he muttered, "a dead end..."
But then he heard the robotic voice of Black Beard speak.
"Why did I have these hallways made in such a complicated manner? I can't even find my own base!"
Bentley encountered a piece of debris, which he knocked out with one of his gadgets attached to his wheelchair for head-on attacks, if such an occasion was necessary. He wheeled himself further, just to find out he had attracted the attention of a guard, which he took out as quickly as he could.
'''The Mind' approaches," one Putrid Pelican said as Black Beard approaches her pelican guards.
''The base has been kept tidy for you, Captain," said a second one.
"It had better be," Black Beard said as she entered her base, "Red Rum Roger better not have touched anything while I was away. Who knows where those feathers have been.''
"Alright, time to use my sleep darts," Bentley muttered to himself, "Given what they're made of, maybe, I can even make these robot pelicans deactivate for awhile."
Bentley quickly shot some sleep darts to temporarily deactivate the flashlight guards on duty, making it easier to sneak past them. He saw Black Beard get on an elevator to travel downward, and figured he must take an alternate path. The elevator had been indicated to be temporarily disabled after Black Beard's descent.
Bentley found a computer, and knew he had to use his hacking skills to deactivate several devices in the base, the first was the Spark Runner sequence, which activated several platforms Bentley was able to hop across, and an escalator to help Bentley get down to the lower levels. The second mini-game was Alter Ego. Once this was completed, and a series of doors opened. The first contained a Secret Bentley Mask. The second lead to the path Bentley needed to take. The third and final door, however, lead to a treasure chest with many coins. Behind the second door revealed another code to crack, in the form of System Cracker. Which opened a door leading to a series of obstacles. As tedious as they were, it finally paid off when he got to an open window that peers into what appears to be Penelope's quarters.
"That Bentley has caused more trouble for me than he should've," said Penelope(and I'm glad I can finally use her real name) as she got out of the mech.
"The inside of that mech is so cold. Why did I put a refrigerator in that thing again? No matter. Time to check my data analysis."
Penelope bent over and strained lifting a leg up with her hands until she let a loud fart rip.
"Ahh... and I've been holding that one for hours. I bet stuffy old Bentley wouldn't approve of that. Good thing I'm not with him anymore."
Bentley crinkled his face in disgust as he put his hand over his nose.
Penelope, none the wiser of Bentley's presence walked to her computer and started typing on the keyboard, "I just need to send my analysis and... Bingo!"
Penelope's large computer in her quarters begins analyzing data that Penelope is downloading.
"Most impressive," said a mysterious masculine voice coming from the computer, "but this isn't the kind of data that is needed."
—"What? But how? I've done everything I needed to!"
"Not quite. A different negative emotion is required."
Bentley ignored the computer, as he was too angry at Penelope to focus on anything else.
"Penelope, when I get my hands on you, you're finished."
"Scratch that. The chip has the right emotion," Penelope said.
Bentley readied his dart gun by arming it with an explosive dart and aimed it at the computer.
"Now that I have the chip, we can proceed with phase-" But Penelope couldn't finish her sentence, as Bentley's explosive dart blew up the computer.
"What?" Penelope looked behind her and spotted the turtle. "Bentley?! But how did you get in here?! Where are my guards?!" Penelope got into her mech as Bentley made his way out of the base.
"Guards! Get that turtle now! He has infiltrated the base!''
Penelope used her mech to break through the wall that separated Bentley from her.
"OH NO!" Bentley worried, "Not good! Not good! Definitely not good!"
He tried to avoid Black Beard's attacks as he retraced his steps trying to go back the way he came. Two flashlight guards from outside of the base were in his way, but he shot more darts at them and got far enough away from Black Beard.
"Come back here, you little soup can!''
Black Beard noticed that she was descending, as many pirates came to her aid, ''What? Don't tell me... I've run out of fuel!?'' Black Beard couldn't detect Bentley anywhere. "Drat! He escaped! That no-good can of snapper stew escaped!''
