The beach

(Kowalski's POV)

The two surviving jets and The Super-Plane had landed on the beach. Private and Rico were waiting by the wreckage of their jets as Skipper and I opened the cockpits of our jets.

Skipper jumped out of his jet and said, "Well boys, mission accomplished."

I jumped down from my jet and said, "The threat of Karl has been reduced for the time being."

"I doubt he'll threaten my King Julien for a while," Mort said.

"Wait?" I said, "why is he YOUR King Julien?"

"Watch it smart guy," Mort said glaring at me.

"Mort! Stop freaking Kowalski out!" Julien said.

"KING Julien!" Mort said, "your alive!"

Mort launch himself at Julien's feet.

"No!" Julien screamed, "Not the feet! Get off me you freak!"

Julien kicked Mort across the beach into a rock, "I'm okay!" Mort said as a tree fell on him.

Clover jumped off The Super-Plane and walked over to Julien.

"Julien what were you thinking facing off Karl alone!" Clover shouted.

"What the penguins needed a distraction," Julien said, "and Apparently I'm good at those."

Skipper was hitting his head against a rock (not something I would medically suggest).

"Well this unwanted trip down memory lane has been great," Skipper said, "but it's time we go back to Manhattan."

Skipper turned to Clover, "well soldier it's been a honor serving with you."

"Until the next time I guess," Clover said.

"IF your ever in Manhattan again," I said, "we have room for one more in the training roster."

"Who wants to train with a rooster?" Julien asked as Skipper and Clover face-palmed.

"Alright," Skipper said, "Julien I'm sure your adoring public in New York are missing you."

"Yeah," Julien said through not as excited as we expected him to be, "I'm sure they are."

"Well get your luggage and empty your bladders we'll be departing shortly," Skipper said.

Skipper then turned to the chimps and The Super-Plane, "fire her up!"

The chimps got work on getting The Super-Plane started up while Timo refueled the two remaining Sky-fire jets.

"Skipper we should get back to New York by tomorrow," I said.

"Actually Skipper," Julien said, "I think I'll put a rain check on New York."

"What?" Skipper said completely shocked.

"I mean New York was a great home," Julien said, "and I will always be proud to be a New Yorker. Frankly, I can now see why Mr. Alex wanted to return to it so bad. To be fair I loved New York and the Zoo…"

"But nothing beats your first home," Skipper said.

"If you weren't dealing with madmen and deranged warlords on a daily basis you would probably want to move back to Antarctica too," Julien said.

"True," Rico said.

"Madagascar is my true home…my true kingdom."

"Really?" Skipper said.

"I have no claim to Manhattan," Julien said, "if I go back I'll be a false king in a democratic republic."

"I still think it's a fad," Maurice said.

"That was the most truthful thing I'd ever heard from you Ringtail," Skipper said.

"You not going to stop calling me that are you," Julien said.

"Nope," Skipper said.

"King Julien is staying!?" Ted said excitedly.

Horst took a sip of his "beverage" then did a spit take(good I'm not the ONLY one who does that Skipper).

"Oh great," Hector said sarcastically.

Julien didn't catch the sarcasm and said, "thank you Hector!"

"So you think your people are just going to accept you after disappearing?" I said.

"Oh no," Julien said, "these guys say things about me behind my back all the time."

Julien turned to two scheming lemurs standing menacingly behind him, "And yes I am talking about you Abner and Becca!"

"We're ain't doin' nothin' Mr. King Julien," Abner said.

"Yeah," Becca said, "and one more thing…"

"The Lemur Alliance Liberation Army will never die!" Abner shouted.

They then chanted, "LALA! LALA! LALA!" as they ran off.

"Anyway," Julien said, "this is my real kingdom. One where I'm the actual king."

"Here we go," Maurice said.

"Now listen I may not be the best smartest king…and I have my moments of stupidity. But I do learn my lessons…eventually. And maybe one day I might have a idea…that is totally Maurice's fault by the way…that may endanger the kingdom. But all always fix my mistakes…usually by having Maurice, Clover, or Mort fix them for me. But when I do fix it myself I almost always get it right. I have many flaws but…at least I'm not evil."

"Seeing how his uncle is and the fact Madagascar had a king named Julien the Terrible," I said, "that tracks."

"So you are going to visit some time right," Julien said, "or at least write."

"Just don't bring another Dreamworks War here!" Dr. S, "I could barely handle the injuries from the last one."

"Not surprising when you DON'T have a medical license," I whispered to Skipper.

"I rather deal with Dr. Deranged and his…NEEDLES," Skipper whispered back.

"We'll try," Skipper said to Dr. S.

"There was a war here that I missed," Clover said.

"Two actually" Skipper replied.

"Well see you around King Julien the Thirteen," Skipper said.

"Good-bye silly penguins!" Julien said.

"Bye penguins!" Mort said.

"See you again soon guys," Maurice said.

"Until the next fight," Clover said before standing at attention and saluting Skipper.

"At ease soldier," Skipper said saluting back.

Suddenly there was a loud boom from the direction of The Super-Plane.

"What The Sam Hill was that!" Skipper shouted.

"Um Kowalski," Mason said, "could you come a look at this good chap."

"What did you do now," I said.

I looked at The Super-Plane and gasped, "NOT THE GEAR ASSEMBLY!"

"Urgh," Skipper said.

"Looks like we're staying the night," Private said.

"Yup!" Rico shouted.

"CURSE YOU MADAGASCAR!" Skipper shouted.

"So your stuck here for a while," Julien said.

"Um…yeah," Skipper said.

"You know what that means!" Julien said as crazy colored lights turned on.

"D-DJ Glitterbuns!" Horst said.

"Oh no," Skipper said.

"Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly-fly-fly-fly-fly-fly-fly-fly, p-p-p-p-p-p-p PARTY!"
