Helloooo! I got some good reviews for the last chapter; a lot of them said update, so here it is! I've been watching those new penguins of Madagascar episodes on youtube all day. I think that they're just so funny!

I don't own the Penguins of Madagascar

Skipper's face became red with anger when he looked at the card. "He went too far this time!" Skipper yelled at the top of his lungs.

Private started to feel frightened at Skipper. He rarely saw him that angry. He was mad at Dr. Blowhole too, but Skipper was furious!

Kowalski looked around for evidence on where they might be. After a few minutes of searching, he saw a note, a ransom note. Luckily, the chimps had taught the animals to read, so Kowalski started reading the note right away, even thought it was addressed to Skipper.

Dear Skipper,

Surprise! I can't believe you fell for operation distraction. You've lost your touch Skipper. I guess you should know that I have your son. Also, there was this pretty otter here too. She called out you name, but you never came. Looking for Robert I believe. I am willing to trade up. Come alone at the Hoboken Zoo tonight at 20:00 hours. I've got a lot of animals here, so I won't be afraid to shorten the number.

Blowhole

Kowalski put the note down feeling sick. Skipper's not going to like this. He thought to himself. He put the note down and pretended not to notice it. "Um Skipper, why don't you look over there." Kowalski pointed to an area near the note. If Skipper thought he didn't know where he was going, then maybe he could sneak along with his leader for backup.

Skipper headed to the area and looked around. He picked up the note. He scanned it first with his usual hard expression, but the further the note got, his face became more worried. "He's got Marlene" Skipper whispered. "And I couldn't save her."

Somewhere in the Hoboken Zoo. . . . . . . .

Elli woke up in a dark room. "W-w-where am I?" she whispered to herself shaking like a leaf in the wind. "Marshal? Daddy? Uncle Skippa?" she called out for anyone that could help her. She must've been in a large room because she heard her British voice echo in the darkness.

"Elli?" a voice called out. Elli jumped but she soon recognized it as Marshal.

"Marshal!" Elli exclaimed happily. She ran over to his voice and gave him a big hug when she felt him. "Oh Marshal, where are we? Where are the others? Are you alright?" she was asking so many questions as Marshal rubbed Elli's back in comfort.

"For Pete's sake Elli, you got to calm down." Marshal said as he let go of the shy penguin. "Come with me, the others are over on the other side of this room. I don't know where we are, but I promise we won't be here long."

Elli took Marshal's flipper and he led her to some other voices. She recognized one as Athena's. "Elli, thank goodness, we've been looking for you!"

"Is that everyone?" Marlene asked. She couldn't see Peanut, but she kept her paw on his back like any mother would.

"I think so" Maddie said with her sweet voice.

"Hello?" a voice called behind them.

Maddie recognized it immediately. "Eggy! Oh thank goodness! Did someone hurt you? Is Lucky with you?" she asked as she ran towards Eggy's voice.

"I'm right here mom." Lucky said standing next to Eggy. "Eggy and I woke up here hours ago. Is dad behind this?"

"I don't think so. Your dad wasn't that smart." The mother duck said hugging her long lost sons. "Unlike you"

"How are we going to get out of here?" Nellie asked sitting next to Lilly.

"Yeah, Fashion week is on." Lilly whined that she was missing it. Lucky rolled his eyes.

"Kaboom?" Buttons asked.

"NO!" Everyone yelled. "We don't know where we are. This place could be one big bomb as far as we're concerned." Athena said.

"Can't we just say that we're in a disco ball?" Prince J.J. said with a smile even though no one could see it.

Maurisa rolled her eyes. "I just want to go home. Being in an oversized disco ball wouldn't be much better anyway."

"I want to go home too!" Haley said. "I want my mom!" she had tears in her green eyes.

"Listen, now's not the time to cry for our mommies and daddies!" Marshal said. "Now's the time to find our way out of here, I don't think whining about us wanting to will help us at all."

Just then the lights turned on. The others looked around and saw they were in this big cage. Its tall metal bars that surrounded them made them feel so small and defenseless. They stay in cages all the time, but this one was scary. It looked like a giraffe could fit in here with an elephant. On the ground it was solid concrete. Marshal didn't even want to know what that dark stain was in the corner over there.

"Welcome to the Hoboken Zoo." An obviously disguised voice said. They didn't know where the voice was at, but he was probably behind one of the cement walls that surrounded the cage. "I'm sure all of you know Skipper."

"Maybe, why? do you have a crush on him? Meet him at the cleaners?" Marshal said in a seriously sarcastic tone.

"You must be Marshal." The voice continued. "Skipper's son, well he'll be happy to know you're going first."

"I'm not going anywhere!" Marshal yelled. "So why don't you go tell my dad that!

"Marshal!" Athena squeaked. "Are you crazy? He could kill us!"

"Pft! He's not gonna kill nobody! He can't even show his face! He's probably butt ugly!" Marshal yelled making sure the voice heard.

"Butt ugly!" Peanut yelled throwing his paws in the air for Marshal's support. "Quiet you!" Marlene said covering his mouth.

The voice gave out a evil laugh. "Kids, so young and helpless, too bad your lives have been cut a little short."

Elli fainted. "Elli now's not the time to faint! Now's the time to kick butt!" Marshal yelled at the unconscious penguin.

"And butt ugly faces!" Eggy yelled. "No Eggy!" Maddie said covering his mouth as well.

Marshal chuckled. "Now I'm starting to feel glad my dad's not here." He said as he looked at his friends who had their mouths covered by their moms.

Central Park Zoo. . . . . . . . .

Skipper looked up at the clock. 7:30. He'd have to head over to the Hoboken Zoo in thirty minutes. He sat down depressed in the H.Q. thinking about how he couldn't help Marlene and Marshal when they needed him."Private, where's Kowalski?" Skipper asked looking at the rookie.

"I believe he said something about going to the dolphin habitat." Private answered. He was looking at the Father's day card. It had sloppy letters and poorly drawn pictures. It was the best thing he ever had.

Skipper gave out a small smile. "Even during a crisis he's going over to flirt with Doris." He said shaking his head. "First her, then the van, when will he learn?"

At the dolphin habitat. . . . . . .

"Come on Ariel!" Dale yelled trying to get her into a portable aquarium. "All you need to do is let me lift you into it!"

Ariel swam away from him with tears in her eyes. "No! Not without mom!"

"Stop it Dale!" Doris said getting in front of him. "I don't care what dad wants! I tried to love him, but he for sure didn't love me!"

Dale, who was bigger and stronger that Doris, pushed her out of his way and swam to Ariel as she cowered in front of the glass on the aquarium. "Sorry sis, but dad will kill all of us if I don't do this. He said he might let her live if he gets what he wants."

Doris quickly swam next to her daughter. "I won't let you take her!" she snarled narrowing her eyes at him.

Dale sighed and looked up. "Fine, I'll just have to take you both!"

Doris and Ariel cowered as he came closer to them. Right when he was in front of them, Doris felt something hard hit her in the head. Then everything went black. One thing she didn't understand was that Dale didn't have anything to hit her with. How did he hit her?

A few moments later. . . . . . .

"Doris! Doris! Wake up!" a voice said waving a flipper in front of her face.

"Kowalski?" Doris moaned rubbing her head. She then noticed something. She wasn't in any water! "What happened? Where's Ariel? Why am I not in water?" She felt her head and felt a helmet of some sort on her.

"Ariel's fine." Kowalski said helping her up.

Doris looked down and screamed. "I've been turned into some hideous creature! I'm a…you turned me into a-"

"A penguin" Kowalski finished her stammering.

Doris looked down again more slowly. She was a penguin! She had feet, and silver grey feathers covering her body, and a beak! "Oh….. I'm sorry I called your species hideous." She said embarrassed.

Kowalski took the helmet off of her head. "It's an anatomy changer." Kowalski explained. "It was the only way to save you at the moment." Doris looked down and nodded.

Doris looked up embarrassed. "How'd you know?" she asked.

Kowalski smiled. "I heard your daughter yelling. I thought I might drop in."

Then it hit her. "Ariel! Where's Ariel?" she asked grabbing Kowalski's shoulders with her new flippers.

Kowalski smiled at how close Doris was to him. "She's over there." He said pointing to a little penguin sitting near a chair. They were at the H.Q.

"Mom!" Ariel exclaimed waddling over to her. "I'm a penguin now!"

Doris laughed. "I know!"

"Now Doris, do you know anything about the kidnappings?" Kowalski asked after Doris and Ariel talked for a while.

Doris looked over to Kowalski with wide eyes. "There's been a kidnapping?" she asked.

"I think that answers my question." Kowalski whispered trying to make his way out of the room, but Doris caught him. "A KIDNAPPING!"

Kowalski sighed. "Yes and Skipper was supposed to head over to the Hoboken Zoo at eight'o clock."

"Kowalski, it's 8:05" Doris said.

Oh no! Skipper left before Kowalski could tag along! Will he be okay? What's going to happen to the kids? Where's Dale?
