Operation: Baby Poof
Chapter 9: Final chapter
Skipper led the other three penguins across the island to the secret entrance that wasn't much of a secret to them anymore.
"Remember, gents…" Skipper reminded. "This is Blowhole we're talking about. We move quick and never let your guard down."
"Roger that." Kowalski said.
"Okay, Skippah." Private replied.
Rico nodded his response.
Skipper sighed. "I- I just hope Blowhole didn't harm him yet and we're not too late."
…
Raff pulled on the chains on his flippers.
C'mon! There's got to be a way out of here… Raff thought pulling harder.
Then suddenly the door opened and a few lobsters neared him.
They unchained him and held his flippers together behind him so he couldn't try anything funny.
They brought him back to the area where he was released from the crate.
It was dim and he couldn't see much.
"Hello again, Raff." Blowhole's voice was heard.
Raff immediately jumped and kicked the two lobsters holding him, freeing him from the prickly grabby claws of the crustaceans.
"Where are you!?" Raff shouted.
"Lo-o-obsters!" the dolphin said and three lobsters jumped out of the shadows and held his flippers, neck, and feet in place.
"GRAAhH!" Raff growled struggling against the lobsters' grip.
"There's no use in struggling, Rafael." Blowhole rolled right in front of him on his Segway.
"Yes… there… IS!" Raff said, trying to pull his feet, flippers, and neck free.
"Oh, trust me there isn't." Blowhole smirked.
"URgh.. Just what do you want, Blowhole?" Raff demanded.
"Let me explain first. Your "parents" are my little agents that I sent so I could trap you…"
"You mean Cindy and Dominic? YES. I noticed that… But… what happened to my real parents?" Raff asked.
"Oh, you didn't know?" Blowhole acted surprised, putting a flipper on his chest. "They died about a month ago… But don't worry. I did not have anything to do with their death." The dolphin informed.
"And I'm supposed to believe that?" Raff growled.
"Acting like Skipper now, are we? Ah, speaking of Skipper, I'm very sure that they are on their way now so I'll explain this quickly. I have rebuilt the machine you ruined when you were little and will attempt to fire it again but this time, you won't be here to foil it again." Blowhole gave him an evil smile.
"Wh-what do you mean?" Raff narrowed his eyes.
"I'm going to use you to lure Skipper and his little comrades… Yes, it sounds a bit too cliché, but there's a twist…" Blowhole's eyes were now filled with cruel glee. "They'll find you DEAD here and while they're frozen in shock, I'll get rid of them as well!" The dolphin laughed at his genius plan.
"NO!" Raff thrashed his flippers around, desperately trying to pry his flippers free.
"Now… let's start phase one now, shall we?" the dolphin took out a sharp knife.
Blowhole rolled his Segway right in front of him, showing him the shiny blade.
"GAH! GET AWAY!" Raff shouted.
The dolphin scratched the blade across his left eye.
"AAURGGH!" Raff blinked his eyes desperately trying to see if the eye was damaged. Thankfully, it was not.
"Just so you know how sharp this is and how quick this will be." Blowhole explained.
Raff tried harder to pull his feet and flippers out of the lobsters' claws. "NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" he shouted.
"You're darn right he can't!" Skipper's voice said.
"GAH!" Raff screamed.
Blowhole merely turned his head to look at the leader penguin. "Oh, Skipper! You're early!"
"UNHAND RAFF THIS INSTANT, BLOWHOLE!" Skipper ordered.
"Oh sure, Skipper." Blowhole smirked.
"What?" Private asked, confused.
"Sk- Skipper?" Kowalski stammered, pointing at Raff.
Skipper looked at the cadet who seemed frozen with a horrified look on his face.
The lobsters released Raff from their claws and the penguin collapsed on the ground.
"RAFFY!" Rico shouted.
That's when Skipper realized that the blade was already pierced into Raff's stomach. The poor penguin held his stomach with both flippers with tears in his eyes. "N-No…" he stammered, blood slowly pouring out of his beak.
"RAFF!" Skipper shouted as he tried to run toward the cadet but his three teammates held him back because Blowhole neared the pained penguin himself.
"Oh, poor thing…" Blowhole said, leaning down to look at Raff on the floor. "Such a shame this should be his fate." He said, raising Raff's chin with his flipper.
"P-please! D-don't h-hurt them!" Raff tried to shout, tears flowing out of his eyes.
Blowhole pulled his flipper away from his chin and looked at Skipper. "Well?" he smirked.
Skipper couldn't take it anymore. "YOU FIEND!" He growled, pulling his flippers out of his teammates' grip and running toward the dolphin.
Blowhole quickly took out a small ray gun and fired it at Skipper, freezing him in a block of ice. Then he did the same with Kowalski, Rico and Private.
"Hah! You rea-a-ally thought I did not expect you to run at me, Skipper?" Blowhole laughed.
Then suddenly Skipper broke himself from the ice prison. "It's gonna take more than cold to beat me, Blowhole!" he shouted.
"WHAT!? NO!" Blowhole said before being pushed onto the ground by the leader penguin together with his Segway. "Wha… I THOUGHT YOU SAID I WOULDN'T FALL ON THIS THING!" Blowhole called to a lobster.
"eh, you only said you shouldn't fall out, not IT shouldn't fall itself." A lobster explained.
"URRGGh!" Blowhole grunted, pushing the Segway away with his tail.
Skipper landed punches on the mammal's snout before hearing Raff scream again. "HE-HELP M-ME!"
Seeing that Skipper was distracted, Blowhole flicked him off him.
"GAAhh!" Skipper shouted as he was flung across the room. He landed on Kowalski's ice cube, breaking it to pieces. "Skipper?" Kowalski said.
Skipper then chopped Rico and Private's ice.
"Kowalski, Private! Tend to Raff. I'll handle Blowhole. Rico, you know what to do." Skipper said.
"Kaboom?" Rico smiled.
"Yes, Rico… Kaboom." Skipper nodded.
The crazed penguin laughed then headed to the controls.
"ACTIVATE QUAKE RAY!" Blowhole shouted.
"QUAKE RAY ACTIVATED… WARMING UP"
A deep voice said.
"Since when was this voice commanded?" Kowalski asked.
"Oh, Kowalski. Everything is voice commanded these days… at least… in my lair, that is." Blowhole then laughed before being thrown onto the ground by the attacking Skipper.
"Always get… the good stuff…" Kowalski growled.
"K'WAHSKI! RAFF!" Private reminded, pointing at the penguin on the ground.
They hurried to him and let him lay on his back.
"*cough* *cough* A-am I'm going t-to be alright, K-Kowalski?" Raff asked while coughing out blood.
"Yes, you'll be fine… Just hold still…" Kowalski said, gripping the blade that was stuck in his stomach.
"Oh, Kowalski! So much red!" Private cried, looking away.
That's when Kowalski noticed how much blood he lost. There were pools here and there of red and his stomach was really bleeding. In fact, Raff was looking a bit pale now.
"You'll be fine. It's not that much." Kowalski reassured, slowly taking out the blade.
"RRMMF!" Raff grunted as the blade was pulled out.
"It's alright. It's alright." Kowalski said.
"It's so p-painful!" Raff stammered.
"Just relax." Kowalski instructed.
"SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED"
"WOOHOO!" Rico shouted then stopped when he heard a voice.
"Rico? Is that you?" the voice said. It sounded like…
"MALEEN?" Rico said, following the voice.
"Yes! I'm in this room! Locked in apparently…" Marlene said.
Rico located a hall and walked into it. Rico saw the door and looked through the small window on the door.
"MALEEN!" Rico said before breaking the door by kicking it.
"wow…" Marlene said, impressed.
Rico picked Marlene up and rushed to Kowalski, Private, and Raff.
Blowhole pushed Skipper off him and pulled himself into a pool of water.
Skipper ran after him, diving into the water.
A large round shaped thing rose up, bringing Skipper with it.
"This isn't the last you've seen of me, peng-yoo-wins!" Blowhole said from the inside.
Skipper fell on the ground and watched his enemy's escape.
"Oh my gosh!" Marlene gasped when she saw Raff.
Skipper immediately ran toward Raff. "Is he going to be okay, Kowalski?" Skipper asked.
"Of course he will!" Kowalski said.
"50 seconds to self-destruct"
"Sk-Skipper…" Raff said
"You'll be fine, Raff. You'll be fine." Skipper said.
This was the last thing Raff heard before everything was dark.
…
Raff groaned as he held his flipper to his head.
"Raff!" Skipper sounded relieved.
"Skipper?" Raff replied. He opened his eyes to see that he was in their HQ, lying down on a bed surrounded by his teammates.
"Raff's okay!" Private said with glee.
"What happened?" Raff asked.
"We fixed you up." Kowalski said.
Raff then remembered everything that happened. He sat up and touched his stomach and felt tiny stitches on it then he brought a flipper to his left eye. There was a scar.
"Yyeaah, we didn't do much for that one." Kowalski said.
Raff sighed.
"What da matt-r?" Rico asked.
"It's just that… If I recall correctly, Blowhole said that my parents died. So… I can't find my family… nor can I find my home." Raff sighed again.
"Raff, this is your family. And this is your home. You belong with us, your brothers. You are part of the team after all." Skipper said.
Raff hugged his leader. "Thank you Skipper." He said.
"That's it! From now on, Raff is staying with us." Skipper announced.
The rest of the team immediately broke into a cheer.
"RAFF! RAFF! RAFF!" they shouted.
"EY! Since when did the penguins become doggies!?" Julien asked from his throne in his habitat.
"Dunno." Maurice replied.
"Maybe because they are cheering for the Ruff penguin!" Mort guessed.
"It's RAFF not RUFF…" Maurice corrected.
"Oh, sorry." Mort apologized.
Julien jumped down from his throne. "Mort! Go and tell the peng-u-ins to be quiet with their doggie sounds!" The lemur king said before kicking the mouse lemur out of the habitat.
"WEEHEEHEE!" Mort shouted as he flew across the zoo, landing in the Koala habitat.
"Do you think I kicked him too far, Maurice?" Julien asked.
"I don't know! What do you think!?" Maurice crossed his arms.
"Well, I think dat I did fine." Julien sat down on his throne. "Fetch me a smoothie will you, Maurice?"
"Alright your majesty." Maurice said heading to the tiki bar.
THE END
Daaw, it's the END already?
Oh poo…
Sorry if the ending was a bit rushed… or… weird…
Oh well!
Thanks to Fuzzyskipper3, I will try to make a story wherein Raff is all grown up… with the team… IN SOME FUTURE DATE.
But I'm not promising anything!
OKAY!
