Chapter 4: the secret of the red room

3rd person's pov

The others stared at the blue machine as it powered down. "Well that was weird" Kowalski said. "Totally" skipper replied as he and the rest of the team came out of the blue door. "Skippa should we try another door?" private asked. "Hmm I don't know it doesn't seem like a great idea" Kowalski said while rubbing his flipper under his beak.

"Aww come on Kowalski; think of all the things that could be in them!" private complained. "I guess it couldn't hurt… maybe" Kowalski said while thinking a little deeper. "Yay!" private shouted running down the hall to the red door. "Private get back here soldier!" skipper shouted across the hall. Private looked at the lock that held the red door tight. He touched the lock, and it crumpled a little.

"Skippa how long have you been here?" private said wondering how the lock was so crippled. "About 27 years why?" skipper asked. Private turned his flipper in the lock hole, and the lock crumpled into dust. "That's why" private said staring down at the lock. The others looked to the other two doors wondering just how long they had been there.

Private slowly turned the door knob, and the red door opened with a creek. A rush of hot air came bursting out onto the penguins. "Wow that was hot!" Kowalski said. Private excitedly ran into the room looking everything over, but soon he stopped. The others came after him, and saw what he was staring at. There was a red machine just like the blue one. Though it had a glowing red rock instead of a blue.

Private went closer to the machine. "This one's red" private said. "Hmm" Marlene said looking it over. She snapped her fingers at an idea. "Rico you try touching this machine" Marlene said. "Why rico?" skipper asked. "Well skipper the blue rock opened because blue mist surrounded it, so red needs red!" Marlene said.

Rico approached the machine, and pressed his flipper to it. The rock sucked in the red energy that came from rico. Then a red beam busted out of the ceiling.

Rita's pov

I slowly open my eyes. I look around the place I'm in. it's a dark alleyway. I haven't seen a city in 20 years. I can still remember that faint sounds of the explosives all around me. 20 years has been too long time to have some fun…
