"Steady men. We're closing in." Skipper and his team were getting nearer to Coney Island where the girls were captured at. "We go in, save them, and get out as fast as possible. Got it men?"

"Affirmative," Kowalski answered. "Sounds simple enough I suppose," he muttered under his breath.

"Got it Skippah!" Private replied.

"Uh huh!" Rico grunted out with his tongue flying out as they soared in the air.

Skipper looked down but couldn't make out much. "A little lower men," Skipper ordered. The penguins got lower, and they were soon above Coney Island by multiple meters. "Kowalski, report."

The strategist quickly looked around. "No sign of Blowhole or the girls Skipper," he reported.

"Keep looking," Skipper ordered. "I have a feeling Blowhole is just waiting for us."

"They're here boss," a lobster reported, who was watching the monitor when he saw four penguins' appear on his monitor.

Dr. Blowhole looked serious while watching the monitor with the red crustacean. "Send in the arch enemy seeking missiles!" he ordered. The lobster pressed a button and four missiles were shot out, targeting the four male penguins. "Is the trap prepared?"

"Yes. The cage is ready and we got the claw prepared, just in case," the lobster answered.

Blowhole grinned. "Excellent."

It was a silent search, until Skipper thought he heard something. No, he knew he heard something. He listened more closely. Yup, there was definitely some sort of sound. "Do you hear that?" Skipper asked suspiciously, looking around warily.

Kowalski listened also. "Sounds like…" he started.

"Missile!" Rico shouted. Just as he said that, a missile flew right past him. "Whoa!"

Skipper knew that this was going to happen; he was just hoping they had more time before it did. "Split up men! That missile can't get all of us!" he shouted over the whirling sound of the arch enemy seeking missile.

"There's not just one!" Kowalski dodged just in time to avoid another missile that had appeared.

Skipper did the same but was well prepared this time. "Smoked salmon! Go down boys," Skipper ordered. They got lower but it soon proved to be a mistake. A giant claw came out of the ground and snatched them before they could react. "Crud." The claw took them underground, and they were thrown into a suspending metal cage. Well, that didn't take long for it to go completely wrong, Skipper thought bitterly. He rubbed his head and looked at his teammates in concern.

"Ow," Kowalski moaned.

"Kowalski?" a voice shouted in surprise. The penguins looked up and saw the girls in braces, right across from them. Flora appeared to be the only one awake. That was until Amber started stirring around in her braces, waking up under the noise.

"I didn't do it," Amber mumbled groggily. She immediately noticed the guys, and her eyes widened in surprise. "Hey," was all she said.

Skipper narrowed his eyes at her and stood up. "Hey? All you can say is hey?"

The silver female rolled her eyes. "Well what did you expect? 'Oh I'm sorry your trapped?'"

"Well we came here to help," Kowalski mumbled and rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

"Wonderful," Amber said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "Do you know how many times we've been shocked by that fish? I'm surprised we're still alive! I would have thought we'd be fried birds by now."

Kowalski widened his eyes when he realized Flora could have been severely hurt. "Are you ok Flora?" he asked, concerned.

"Peachy," Flora sighed. She tried to ignore the searing pain of her body. It still ached from being electrocuted multiple times, and her muscles were stiff from staying in the same position for so long. All in all, she felt terrible.

There was a moan and everyone saw Sara waking up.

"Sara!" Private exclaimed. That got her attention, and she snapped her head up. She smiled widely and looked at Private with a happy gleam in her eyes. "Are you alright?"

Sara's smile faltered. "I feel so much pain right now," she groaned. Private frowned, gripped the bars of the cage, and looked at her worriedly.

Madison was currently waking up also. She tried to move but quickly remembered where she was. She didn't notice everyone staring at her as she struggled fiercely in the accursed braces. She stopped for a second and started panting. Just as quickly as she stopped, she started up all over again.

"Madison, would you calm down!" Amber hollered. Madison stopped and glared at Amber. She turned to her flipper and started biting at it. "Chewing your flipper off won't help! What would that solve anyway?"

The mute avian growled and continued to gnaw at her flipper, failing to realize what it would accomplish.

"Madison!" Rico grunted from the suspending cage. Madison stopped and looked around curiously until she spotted Rico. She smiled and grunted happily. It was good to see Rico and the other guys. Her smile quickly turned into a frown when she realized the position he was in. It wasn't any better then what they were in, except that they could actually move around.

"Why did you bother coming here?" Amber asked Skipper harshly.

Skipper didn't appreciate her attitude or tone. He knew she had been in a funk for months now but she didn't need to act like this. "To save all of you," he answered through narrowed eyes at her. Why was she being so ungrateful when they had at least tried to save them?

"Well it was obviously a trap. Blowhole just wanted all of us here," Amber growled.

"Well if he did want us all here, then he should have captured us at the same time. He could have easily done that with his lobsters getting the drop on us. Why would he want to capture only us first?" Flora questioned.

Amber hesitated, already knowing the answer. "He wants to get our secrets," she said, low enough so only the girls could hear. "He also wants to torture us for his own sick amusement," the female CO grumbled, back in her regular volume. "He told me what he planned on doing to us. Now what kind of villain tells his plans?"

"Not a very good one I suppose," Flora mused with a blank expression. "To believe a dolphin could…" she trailed off there. Dolphin? She remembered something immediately and felt herself going into a flashback.

(Flashback in Flora's POV)

I raised a brow in curiosity when I noticed some weird skin that had been crushed under one of the ice blocks. I took the skin out from the ice and examined it. It wasn't penguin skin or flesh, that was for sure. It didn't look like human skin or seal skin either. It was rather…blue. Even if a human was to have frost bite, it was impossible to get it to this shade. I had no idea what it was. I would have to examine it more closely later...

Later On

I placed the skin in the analyzer, and waited for it to come up with results. I squinted at the screen as results flashed on it. Odd. It was an underwater mammal. A…dolphin?

(End of Flashback)

"Blowhole!" Flora exclaimed. Madison grunted in confusion. "Blowhole is the one that killed our family! It was him! I should have know, why didn't I realize this sooner?" Flora's voice was so loud that it made everyone want to cover up their ear holes. In a fail attempt to slap herself, Flora struggled in her braces, looking ridicules.

"Blowhole killed them?" Sara gasped.

"Yes! It's obvious! Back in Antarctica, I found this weird skin in our colony and-" Flora abruptly cut herself off. She winced as she realized she gave away some information. Amber was going to have her feathers after this was done. Amber gave a death glare to Flora; her eyes lit up like fire and looked like they could burn into her soul. At this point, it pretty much did.

"You actually went to Antarctica?" Skipper asked, rather surprised. "I thought you said you turned around?"

Amber sighed, looking exasperated. "We did turn around. We just had gone to Antarctica first."

"We found our family dead, so we came back here," Sara added. If Amber could move, she would have slapped Sara on the back of her naïve head.

"We needed to find the killer too and here was a good place to start," Flora added along. Amber wanted to smack Flora and Sara to another planet at this point. What were they doing? Love is a distraction; it'll make you poor your guts out!

"Why can't you two be like Madison and shut up!" Amber shouted. That hit all three of the girls hard.

Madison felt hurt and angry. No one should ever have to bring that up, it was her weak point. Her sadness was soon engulfed into pure fury. Madison thrashed in her braces and made loud threatening growls that were directed towards Amber, which was new. Flora and Sara looked down at the ground dejectedly.

Amber was being extremely harsh on them. It wasn't like her at all.

"So…you only came back because your family was dead?" Private murmured sadly. "Not because you wanted to be with us?"

"No, no, no!" Sara gasped and looked back up at Private. "We wanted to come back and be with all of you. But some didn't want to." Sara flashed a scowling glance at Amber. The silver CO glared back but turned her head away so she couldn't see any of the penguins.

Skipper had been staring closely at Amber the whole time and read her like a book. "So you were using us?" He challenged Amber to deny it.

Amber looked back at him and her eyes had drastically softened when she looked at Skipper. "We weren't using you guys," she answered.

"Really?" Skipper growled. "You came back because your family died, and you wanted to come to the Big Apple here, so you can start your revenge plan! I bet you were planning on doing the same thing when you were going to leave Antarctica once you got enough information. Just going to take our weapons again and leave without a sign. How is that not using us?"

Amber sighed and closed her eyes. Skipper must have an eye for this type of stuff. She couldn't help but admire it though.

"That's what we were going to do?" Sara whispered to her leader disbelievingly. "Just going to steal their stuff again?"

Amber turned to her with a blank stare and nodded. Sara's face flashed with surprise, but she quickly darted her gaze to the ground to hide her disrespect that she had never wanted to feel toward her leader. Amber turned away from the penguins once more, so she wouldn't see their looks but it was difficult because of her restraints. "I just can't believe Blowhole killed our families," Amber grumbled quietly, more to herself.

"Well the evidence says it all," Flora mumbled.

The penguins stayed in an awkward silence after that. That was until the only metal door in the room opened. Blowhole came in on his segway.

"Hello pen-gyu-ins," Blowhole greeted coldly. The penguins didn't even bother with him pronouncing the word wrong or even acknowledging his presence. They were too emotional deprived to do so and it was a waste of time as well. Well some of them found it a waste of time. "I have-"

Amber cut him off. "Yes we know. We have been captured, and we can't do anything about it. Blah, blah..." The female leader rolled her eyes. She was not in the mood. Actually, ever since she got here, she hasn't been in her best of moods. Not that she ever really had a good one.

"You take the fun out of being a villain you know that?" Blowhole scowled at her.

Amber smirked despite how she was truly feeling. "Just part of my job."

"You've had a lot of jobs," a voice spoke out.

Amber's eyes widened, along with her teams when they recognized that voice. "It can't be…"

"How stupid are you?" The very mysterious penguin stepped into the room. Light reflected on his feathers, so they could see the mysterious penguin.

"Satan!" Flora, Sara, and Amber gasped. Madison just looked rather shocked and could only stare with her beak parted open.

The penguin had creepy gray eyes, and his feathers were red at just about every inch of his body. Probably from too much blood being splattered on them. He had so many scars on his body that it was impossible to count. He was missing a toe on his left foot as well. He was well built and looked like he could crush you with one quick motion. He was slightly over Kowalski's height, and he held a dark look on his face that was terrifying to the average animal. The crooked smile on his face made it all the more disturbing.

Amber gaped. "What are you doing here!"

"Giving my assistance to Dr. Blowhole," Satan replied smugly at her expression.

Amber glared harshly. "You traitor! Why does no one listen to me? We should have fed you to the leopard seals! You never did anything for our colony! You just sat around like you couldn't do anything but you could!" she accused. Her blood was boiling to higher levels by the second. The other girls were just as mad at this point from the treachery.

"You're a traitor!" Sara spat.

"It takes a traitor to know a traitor," Satan shot back with venom. Sara swallowed and darted her gaze to the ground quickly.

Amber didn't bother to even look at Sara. "What does that mean?" she asked slowly but still suspicious.

"Didn't you know?" Satan mocked gasped. He shook his head. "It doesn't matter. You will all soon find out. Better stay quiet or I'll gut you all."

Skipper eyed this stranger with scorn, ignoring the threat but still hardly able to understand what ties he had with the girls. "What do you mean by that?"

"These girls aren't what you really think." Satan pushed past Blowhole and went right up to Amber. "You had a lot of dirty jobs over the years. Most of them getting you into jail. Correct me if I'm wrong?" Satan asked her quietly, so only she could hear. He smirked when Amber didn't say anything back, but her eyes told him everything. "You got quite the criminal record I might add. I looked over your files I found at your old prison." Amber glared and was just hoping she could melt Satan's head.

Satan laughed and waddled to the other side where Madison was. The female snarled at him fiercely and tried to attack him but it was completely useless. "You like freedom more then anything, don't you?" Satan asked.

Madison stopped struggling, and stared at the penguin with burning hatred before looking right back down. She panted and ignored the stares from the other penguins.

"Madison." Satan looked at the saddened psychotic bird. Madison looked up with conflicted emotions on her face. "Why don't you join us? Don't you want to be free? Wouldn't you rather have the fun of destruction then having a hold of your destructive rage with them?" Satan gestured to the other penguins with that deathly crazed smirk. Madison stared for a long time and, to everyone's horror, she nodded slightly. Satan twisted smile got darker in demonic delight. "Would you like to join us then?"

Madison just looked at him. Then her face scrunched up into a pondering one. She was actually trying to decide!

"Madison?" Sara whimpered and tried to tell if Madison was just playing along, but Madison's eyes told her differently. The flightless bird didn't pay her any attention. Madison put together the ups and downs of joining Satan and Dr. Blowhole. She looked back up at Satan and nodded. She would join them for her freedom.

Sorry for the long wait, but I got a lot to do. Getting harder to update. Madison is joining them! Traitor! What will her friends say? What the heck will happen? Oh and Satan means plotter or adversary. There, gave you a quick and unnecessary lesson. Happy about that?

Kowalski: I already knew what it meant.

Flora: So do I.

Me: Of course you do. *Rolls eyes* For any of you that are fans of these two, give them a cookie for being so intelligent!

Flora: What was with you straining the word 'so'?

Kowalski: I think she's just trying to tick us off.

Me: Whatever gave you that idea? I'm in a bad mood but review. Hope you liked the chapter.
