Penguin HQ

Hanger

(Skipper's POV)

Julien stood in the middle of the hanger with a angry expression on his face. Mort and Maurice stood in front of him trying not to look terrified. Clover, Kowalski, Rico, Private, and I stood in defensive positions in front of them.

"Protect me at all costs!" Julien said.

"Don't worry," I said, "this is the most secure part of our base…"

Suddenly a loud boom resounded off the metal walls of the hanger.

"Skipper there are some sentences you should avoid," Kowalski replied.

There was a loud explosion in the distance followed by evil laughter. "he's here," Clover said. Karl himself entered the hanger shortly afterward.

"Karl," Julien said.

"Julien we meet again," Karl replied.

"What are you," I said, "a fossa."

"How dare you," he replied, "how dare you compare me with those savages."

"Skipper that's a Fanaloka," Kowalski said, "Fossa fossana also known as a striped Civet."

"Thank you, I won't kill you," Karl replied, "Not yet at least."

"You won't win this time," Clover said.

"Really?" Karl said as he aimed a laser gun at us, "Any last words?"

Rico replied by hacking up his rocket launcher, "how did he…" Clover said.

"Don't ask," Kowalski said, "just don't"

"Yes, Blowhole did warn me about that," Karl said.

"Where is he by the way," I asked.

"None of your concern," he replied, "yet. Now get out of the way and you won't get harmed…for now."

Rico cocked his rocket launcher and aimed for Karl, "Stalemate Karl," Julien said, "and what happened to you going into retirement!"

"Super-villian retirement is not all it's cracked up to be," Karl replied.

"Karl you picked the wrong day to mess with this zoo," I said.

I turned to the other end of the hanger, "Get The Super-Plane in the air now!"

Karl laughed as a loud boom rocked the hanger, "what was that!" Private shouted.

"Oh just your Super-Plane exploding," Karl replied.

There was another loud boom, "And that was your bi-planes."

"How did you…" Kowalski said.

"And for added measure," Karl said, "Your Submarine needs to go."

Another boom shook the zoo, "Ooo…he's taking out our vehicular advantage!" Kowalski said.

"Goodbye Snub-nosed fighters!" Karl said he pulled out a detonator and pushed a button.

A series of explosion than when off, "Jetpacks gone. Hoverpad headrest…gone."

They was a super loud explosion, "The Penguin One gone."

"Stop blowing up our stuff!" Kowalski shouted, "Not only do bad guys always get the good stuff…they have to destroy any good stuff we get!"

"This is too easy," Karl said, "North Wind Jet packs."

BOOM. "gone."

More Explosions went off as Karl listed our vehicles that were destroyed, "Anti-grav socks, Copter-packs, the turbotoes, the LARV…dust in the wind."

There was another explosion, "The Next-o-skeleton…and I so wanted to face that thing…oh well," Karl said.

"He destroyed all our vehicles," Kowalski said.

"Even the Car?" I asked.

Karl turned to where our car was currently being worked on. Karl activated the detonator with a sadistic smile on his face. The Car was destroyed in a massive explosive fireball.

"The Sailboat?" I said as another explosion rocked the hanger.

"Yeah," Kowalski said.

"The Stealth bomber?" I said.

Kowalski pulled out his radio and said, "Get the stealth bomber in the…"

The door that lead to the stealth bomber hanger exploded bits of plane flying everywhere.

Private face lit up with an idea "we still have the North Wind jet we could…"

"Stop! Naming off vehicles that we have!" Kowalski shouted as the North Wind Jet exploded.

"Wait about that Airbus A-280," Kowalski said.

"The One we don't have yet?" I said.

"Oooh," Kowalski said, "this is bad…no vehicles

"No vehicles huh?" I said.

"That's an affirmative," Kowalski said.

"So running away isn't an option," I said.

"No…"

"Good," I replied, "so give me some options…"

"No time for Options!" Clover shouted as she charged Karl.

She tackled him to the ground knocking his laser gun out of his hands, "Plasma," Kowalski said.

Rico hacked up the plasma blaster and handed it to Kowalski. Kowalski aimed his Plasma blaster at Karl while Rico aimed his Rocket launcher at him.

"Surrender now Karl," I said.

"Yes! Did you see that Karl! You just got owned!" Julien said.

"Actually make a pretty good team," Clover replied.

"I concur," I replied.

"You think this is the end?" Karl said, "except you made one mistake."

"And that is?" I asked as Rico handed me the flamethrower.

"I didn't come alone," He replied, "Blowhole made sure to provide his best minions."

Suddenly Kowalski got a toxic spur to the face and went down, "Parker…" I said.

"The one and only," Parker replied.

Rico turned his rocket launcher at Parker but the platypus was too quick. Parker kicked Rico with a toxic spur and took him out.

"Private! Secret weapon!" I shouted.

"Lobster pile!" several Lobsters shouted as they jumped Private.

"Give up now Skipper," Hans said.

"Hans!" I shouted.

"That Blowjoe guy is pulling all the stops now," Julien said.

"Stop being naughty!" Private shouted as he landed in his steel penguin suit, "Or face the fury of Steel Penguin!"

"Should have blown that up too," Karl said.

Hans fired off his laser weapon as Private started to attack the lobsters. Rico and I were kicking lobsters left and right. Clover was punching and roundhousing her way thru wave after wave.

"Savio!" Hans shouted, "Now!" Suddenly Savio slithered out of his hiding and charged.

"Oh no you don't," Private shouted.

Private charged at Savio who now had his mouth open. Private used his steel flippers to jack Savio's mouth open. Savio tried to shake private away only to find the suit was quiet heavy.

"No fair," Savio said.

"What's the matter," Private said, "Bit off more then you could chew. NOW BURT!"

"With Pleasure," Burt replied as he grabbed the snake.

"Not again!" Savio shouted as Burt proceeded to beat him up.

"This ends now Skipper!" Hans said holding a mackerel, "FISH FIGHT!"

"Rico Cod me," I said.

Rico hacked up a Atlantic Cod and tossed it to me, "Cod? Since when do you use cod?" Hans asked.

"Rico," I said dropping the cod, "Swordfish me!" Rico hacked up a swordfish and tossed it to me.

"Oh you think your so clever," Hans said holding up a marlin, "En gard!"

Hans thrusted with his marlin while I parried with my Swordfish. Hans and I continued to exchange Thrusts and Parries and blocks. Karl just looked at all the chaos around him as the battle intensified.

"Fools the lot of them," Karl said as he lifted up his laser gun, "This should be easy…"

Julien watched with Horror as Karl aimed his gun at him. I quickly slammed into the gun messing up Karl's aim as the laser bounced harmless off the metal walls.

"Are you trying to provoke me?" Karl said, "You will pay for that!"

"How exactly?" I said.

"Yeah how?" Julien said.

"Julien do not make me assume my ultimate form!" Karl said.

"Which is what exactly?" Julien said, "you keep saying you have an ultimate form…but you never use it!"

"I have my reasons," Karl said, "now there is nowhere you can run."

"Good because we're not running," I said.

Suddenly Marlene drove up in a Zoo-cart, "everybody get in!"

"Into the Zoo-Kart!" I shouted.

The Seven of us climbed into the Zoo-kart, "What happened to not running?" Karl said.

"This isn't running away," I said, "this is a tactical retreat."

"Fallback!" I shouted as Marlene stepped on the gas and the zoo-cart sped away.

Karl looked at us ominously, "too bad your driving right into a trap…I won't chase you…not yet at least."
