Colonel George and George Strofflin are two different characters. One human and one penguin. I just associate being mean or extremely strict with the name George. No offence to all nice Georges in the world. And yes there is going to be hell. But I'm not there yet. I first have to finish the ride to the hell hole. Then I can write out the hell part.

And I have had demands so I put this on top priority. And I'm having writers block on the others but…

So here's the second part of their ride.

They were sitting along the side of the back of the truck. They weren't talking. They were just sitting there waiting. And they were getting tired of waiting.

Skipper stood up. He was getting tired of sitting. He still felt bad for dragging they guys into this. They didn't need to go with him.

Skipper stood up just in time for Colonel George to come back out of the driver's quarters.

Kowalski, Private, and Rico stood up when he came out. They stood behind Skipper, waiting for the Colonel to say something. And also a little scared. Standing behind Skipper gave a little protection. They were scared, but they were also pretty sure that if he attacked Skipper again they would attack the Colonel. They would just have to. But right now they could say they were hiding behind Skipper.

"Reniku and his platoon are on their way." The Colonel said flatly. (R-in-ee-coo)

Skipper wasn't surprised. The two Colonels were best friends. And they both didn't like him. No wonder they were friends. Although not surprised, he was a bit worried. "Why Reniku?" Skipper asked. He also spoke in an unemotional tone.

"Because, Reniku will keep you at bay." The colonel replied. "So you don't make any attempts."

"I think we already established the no escape rule." Skipper said annoyed. He didn't like Reniku. Reniku was a weapon power freak. None of his weapons could kill you. But they made sure you got damn close to death. And they hurt. They hurt worst than being slowly cut in half. He was pretty sure of it. But he had never been cut in half. People have tried. And it hurt. But they never got far. And they didn't hurt as much as Reniku's weapons.

"Yeah well you can never have too much security." The Colonel responded calmly.

"How much?" Skipper asked flatly. He and the Colonel knew what that meant. It meant how many weapons.

"Well how am I supposed to know boy?" The Colonel asked irritated. "He's coming. Deal with it!" then he walked back into the driver's quarters.

Skipper grabbed his head annoyed. "Reniku. Reniku!" he said irritated. He threw his flippers into the air. "Why Reniku?" he said. He lowered his flippers. All he needed was a crazed weapon freak on board.

Skipper reaction to the news of this Reniku guy was a little nerve wrecking for Private. "Um. Skippah? Who- who's Renku?" He asked, nervously.

"Reniku." Skipper corrected. "He's a weapon freak." Skipper sighed.

"Weapon freak?" Kowalski asked. He was thinking like another Rico. Rico could be classified as a weapon freak. He was hoping for just another Rico.

"Yes a weapon freak. He makes his own weapons. All of them, every single one, will put you in the PCU. None of them will kill you though. He's a friend of Georges. Another Colonel in fact. And he's a schizophrenic. He doesn't have a bad temper. He just comes off that way." Skipper explained. He wasn't a fan of any of the Colonels really. There were five. But Reniku he despised. Reniku needed rules to follow. But he was never given any. Not for his use of weapons anyway. As for his weapon making, the General turned her back on the subject. Reniku was a skilled fighter with both hands and materials. Skipper understood why the General didn't punish him. But some rules would've been nice.

"So he's dangerous?" Kowalski asked assumingly. He had figured it out. Skipper was slightly afraid of Reniku. Not completely, and he would probably be able to use sarcasm on him. But Skipper was slightly afraid.

"Yes. He's very dangerous." Skipper replied. Now he was severely upset about dragging them into this. Not the sad crying upset though. The regret how could I let this happen upset. Reniku was a very dangerous Colonel. Only the most obedient soldiers were put into his platoon. The others were sent to the other four Colonels. George usually got the disobedient ones. He was a good punisher. Getting put into the PCU was the easy way out to him. He wanted you to do the punishment and then the regular workouts like you were never punished. All in all, his punishments were a little worse. Reniku's were just pain. Your muscles were fine. But with George, your muscles felt like they were being ripped to shreds. And he kept you there until you finished. There was no other way out. And then when you finished, even saluting was hard to do. Plus George still expected you to snap right into the salute. In Skippers mind, George was worse. Mostly because Reniku hurt one part of your body, and George destroyed every part.

"Will he just attack?" Kowalski asked nervously. He didn't want to be put in the PCU, what ever that was. It sounded like an infirmary though. And he was scared. Made worse by the explanation of Reniku. Reniku could kill you if he wanted to. But he didn't. that was a sick mind.

Skipper smiled slightly, mostly because he had asked the same question when he first heard of Reniku. Reniku scared the life out of him when he first met him. Skipper remembered wanting to hide behind someone when Reniku screamed at him. The first thing Reniku ever shot at Skipper was the lightning disk. It was a disk of electricity that came out of a gun. And it hurt like hell. Skipper was still young when it happened. And he still fears the lightning disk. But now the fear just makes him angry. He doesn't know why either. Reniku was just one sick Colonel. He knew that. "No. But I would suggest not talking, or smiling, and not moving either. He's a schizophrenic. You have to remember that. So basically sitting down and shutting up will keep you from getting hurt. For now." Skipper advised. He had to learn that the hard way. And he didn't want them to have to do the same.

"F-f-for now?" Private asked fearfully. He didn't want to just be attacked by a weapon freak. Some how that just seemed terrifying. He didn't want to get hurt. Pain wasn't his game. That was Skippers game.

"Yes, for now. He can attack you for just being there. He will lose him temper every now and then. If you see him getting angry, hiding would be a good idea. If he doesn't see anyone then he'll attack the person he's arguing with. He usually argues with George. And George isn't a fan of tempers. He's quick to end them. Unless it's me. He gets a sick pleaser in ticking me off. He himself doesn't have a temper. That's just him. He's strict. And when you don't listen, he gets stricter. And louder. But he won't attack you unless you provoke him. Severely provoke him. So you don't have much to worry about with him. And avoiding Reniku is easy. Like I told you, just sit down and shut up and he won't bother you." Skipper reassured. He didn't want them to be afraid. They could be nervous. That was absolutely allowed. But they didn't have to be afraid. He would take the shot from Reniku for them. After all, their being here was his fault.

"Oh" Private sighed. That was a relief. Of course he knew without having to be told that Skipper would do his best to protect them. With this kind of thing he always did. But he didn't like the idea of being attacked out of nowhere. That was scary. And then he would always have to be tense and on alert. He didn't like using people, but it was good to know that he could relax and let Skipper worry. Because Skipper would do that anyway. Even if he was on guard. Skipper was the one with seven senses. The five normal ones. A bad even sense, and a sixth sense. He could sense when someone was coming or near. That's why he was on alert at the zoo. He felt someone was there. And Private only had five senses. Skipper had self appointed himself to the guard and leader job. Mostly because he was the one with most experience, he had seven senses, and was an extremely good fighter. He shook his head. Off topic.

"So this Reniku." Kowalski started, "He's dangerous, but being hurt by him can be avoided simply by sitting down and not speaking?" Kowalski asked skeptically. It didn't make sense. Usually the dangerous people would go on rampages. It didn't seem that easy to avoid being targeted by a mad man.

"You'll find that those who are above you here, are very strange characters. Especially the General. She's…sometimes very unfair to the lower ranks." Skipper said. It was true. General Sara was her name. many times she has let Colonel George get his way and him with nothing. But then there were times where she favored the lower ranks, and times when she was extremely fair.

"She?" Private asked, confused. Generals were usually boys. This was the first girl General that he had ever heard of.

"Yes she. General Sara. She is both unfair and very fair. She can favor the high ranking, or the low ranking, or see both as equal and give both the same sized privileges." Skipper explained.

They were all still standing.

Kowalski was thinking. "Wait, before you said something about George letting you get angry?" Kowalski said confused. He couldn't comprehend what that meant.

Skipper sighed. "Yes Colonel George gets some sort of sick pleasure in ticking me off. I think it's mostly because I can't do anything about it." Skipper explained.

"Why not?" Private asked. Skipper had to release his anger somehow.

"Because," Skipper relied, "He is my superior and I cannot disobey, or attack him without authorization of him or the General. And any smart soldier would know that a request to throw a temper at your superiors will not be given." Skipper explained.

"Why does he do that?" Private asked.

"I really don't know. We never got along. And there were times where I actually tried to. But he never liked me. I think it was because of my friendship with Manfredi and Johnson. They always fought. Other that that, he just doesn't like me." Skipper replied.

It didn't seem to bother him much. And truthfully it didn't. He tried. Now it was the Colonels turn to try to ease their rivalry.

"Well, I guess you can't do anything about that." Kowalski stated. That really stunk. For Skipper. It would just make things more difficult.

"Yeah, I don't really care anymore. I've tried. That's it. And I'm done trying to get along with him. If he wants me to throw a fit than I'll do just that. And when it blows up in his face. Then he might try to ease the rivalry." Skipper replied casually. He honestly didn't care anymore.

"Yeah. I guess it's better that way." Private said.

"Reniku!" one of the men on to of the divers' quarters announced.

Skipper looked at the three of them. "Sit." He said pointing at the side of the truck of which they were sitting before.

They sat. But Skipper didn't. They were worried about him. Something inside of Kowalski told him that Skipper was going to make this Reniku guy beat the life out of him. Or George would attack him again. Either way. Skipper was going to get hurt. Kowalski could feel it.

About a minute after the mili man announced it, twelve troops, who had guns like Georges men, jumped on board, surrounding the entire back of the truck. And up and over them came Reniku.

Reniku was a short, built penguin with a red tuff on his head. And small yellow-orange feathers above his eyes. He was a little shorter that Skipper, and looked like he was ready to kill. Around his upper arm was a strap that went across his stomach and under his other one. On that strap was an assortment of weapons. He had grenades, a sward, and multiple guns. There were also guns on his back. The ends of them stuck out over Reniku's head. And he was smoking. The bud of the cigar looked like he had been smoking it for a while. He had it sticking out of the corner of his beak. There was no doubt; Skipper had a good reason to be intimidated by this guy.

He gave Skipper the death stare. But surprisingly, Skipper didn't move from his spot. Or relax his pose. Skipper was standing with his arms crossed on his chest, like he always does. But he was tilted back slightly more than usually. He was staring back at Reniku with a bored expression. Like Reniku's death stare didn't phase him.

But it did. Skipper hadn't forgotten Reniku's death stare. And it tugged at his bravery. But Skipper wasn't one to give in that easily. Reniku knew that. Skipper pulled his bravery back, holding his stare on Reniku. He hated that. But Skipper knew that Colonel George would be out before Reniku got to do anything. That's what always happened, with Johnson. And Johnson pissed Reniku off faster than Skipper dared to do. Skipper wasn't that intimidated by Reniku. But he knew where his place was. Reniku was above him. That, and he didn't want to deal with one of Reniku's weapons at the moment.

Then George came out. "Reniku. I've been waiting." George said. He was much more friendly towards Reniku than he was towards Skipper. But that was to be expected.

"Georgie!" Reniku replied. He had a rough voice. It had to be from the smoking. It sounded like a voice you would hear from an old time rebel. His death stare transforming into a smile as he turned to George.

"I haven't been able to visit. Had some things to take care of." George said.

"Yeah. It's been some time since she let you wander to my domain." Reniku replied.

"Yes it's sadly true. But I had to make plans, and back ups, and all that happy shit." George replied, he sounded annoyed. He didn't want to do that.

Skipper knew that.

"I hate that- I hate that shit. It absolutely annoys the life out of me. That's why they send you." Reniku replied waking George's stomach.

George laughed. "You never did Reniku." He said. He was in a happier mood than before.

Skipper sighed. The old buddy routine. He wasn't very big on that. It annoyed him. He didn't see the point. Why not just talk? There was no point in making a scene like this.

"So why did you go through all that?" Reniku asked like he didn't know.

"For him." George pointed at Skipper. He sounded a lot less happy too.

"Him?" Reniku said shocked.

"Why? I could've given you my lightning disk. He would've been down in minutes."

"You know what the General would say to say to that Reniku. She wants plans." George replied. He smiled.

Reniku looked like he was thinking. Then a smile stretched along his face as well. "You used the sleep dart 3000 didn't you?" He asked, grinning.

"Yup. I did." George replied.

"Of course." Skipper mumbled. Of course he was taken down by one of Reniku's darts. Reniku made a whole assortment of darts.

Reniku whipped his head towards Skipper. "What did you say boy?" He demanded.

"Nothing." Skipper replied calmly. He was nervous about Reniku's weapons. The man himself wasn't very scary to him.

"Yes what?" Reniku growled.

"I'm not reinstated yet." Skipper said keeping his voice calm. "I don't have to address you correctly until I am officially reinstated.

Reniku pulled out one of his guns and shot.

Skipper hit the floor faster than he thought he could. The bullet, or whatever came out of the gun, because it didn't sound like a bullet, hit the guy that was standing behind him. Skipper was glad it didn't hit him. The guy flew of the truck with a scream.

Skipper stood up and looked at Reniku with raised eye brows. "What was that?" He asked. Half not wanting to know. Whatever it was, it would send him to the floor screaming in pain and put him in a near death state. He really wasn't in the mood for that.

Reniku growled again and shot a second…object, at Skipper.

Skipper jumped to the side and watched the object fly past him. It definitely wasn't a bullet. It was cylinder shaped with a purple glow and probably hurt like hell when it made contact with your body. He didn't want to get hit with it.

"You know, shooting me with things won't solve anything." Skipper said. "I still hate you."

Reniku didn't growl. But his face twisted into the angriest face Kowalski, Rico, and Private had ever seen. It was a very creepy face, nonetheless.

He pulled out another gun. Skipper knew immediately what it was. It was the lightning disk shooter. Skipper hated that gun.

Reniku shot at Skipper again. Skipper jumped over the disk of extremely painful lightning. It hit the man behind him sending him off the truck screaming.

Reniku shot at Skipper again. And again. But missed. He did manage to send two more guys overboard screaming though.

Then he shot the lightning disk again. This time it hit Skippers flipper as he jumped over it. When Skipper landed, he got a quick jolt of electricity. It messed up his sight for a few seconds. But he regained his sight in time to jump over the next disk. Hearing the scream of another man as he was thrown overboard by a disk of lightning.

Skipper knew that Rico had weapons too. But he didn't want to get Rico involved. Subconsciously he put his flipper out towards Rico.

Rico knew what Skipper wanted. He also knew that Skipper didn't want to involve him in this. But he didn't think Skipper was trying to bring him into this. He had just put his flipper out for one of Rico's weapons so many times it was like another action that was done right away. But Rico had to admit. It had taken Skipper a little bit to let his subconscious do that. So he gave Skipper a bazooka.

Skipper smiled and aimed at Reniku.

He didn't smile because he had a weapon. He smiled at Reniku's reaction. Reniku stared at Skipper wide eyed, surprised that he would do something like that. Surprised that he had a weapon like that. Skipper knew. Reniku though he was the only one with big bad weapons. Skipper was smiling. Reniku really needed to meet Rico. But Skipper wasn't going to allow that.

Skipper wasn't actually smiling. He had a 'What now' grin on his face. The 'what now' you say when you achieve the upper hand. A mocking 'What now' grin. Skipper had a bazooka. He won.

George was even surprised.

After the initial surprise of Skipper achieving the weapon. Every man who had a gun pointed it at him.

Skipper knew this. But he didn't particularly care. He could blow them all up if he wanted to. But he wasn't going to. The funny thing was, they didn't know that he wasn't going to pull the trigger.

"I dare ya kid." Reniku dare. "Shoot me." He said it like he was absolutely positive that Skipper didn't have the guts to kill him. He even grinned at Skipper.

Skipper didn't take a likening to the use of weapons. But if he needed them he would use them. Ha also knew how to scare the life out of someone with them.

This particular bazooka was enhanced by Kowalski. If you lightly pulled on the trigger, not pulling it all the way down, the bazooka sounded like it was charging up. And after you pull the trigger down you have about five milliseconds to change the angle of the bazooka. This made the person, target, think that you were actually going to kill them.

And with people like Reniku. It was fun.

Skipper lightly pulled on the trigger. The bazooka charged up. He smiled at Reniku, whose face had just turned to disbelief and fear. Then Skipper pulled the trigger all the way down and jerked the bazooka upward. The bazooka's bullet went straight over Reniku's head, over the top of the truck, and of into the ski.

Skipper grinned at Reniku, who still looked quite scared. "You honestly thought I could kill you?" Skipper asked. He wasn't surprised. Nor did he sound it. He wasn't hurt either. He felt like laughing. Out of the corner of his eye he saw that, Kowalski, Rico, and Private were struggling to hold their laughter in. He raised his eyebrows at Reniku. "Here's a tip. I don't kill, Reniku. I never have. I actually thought you knew that." Skipper put the face of the bazooka on the floor and held it there. He didn't lean on it. He just held it there.

Reniku didn't reply.

Skipper rolled his eyes and threw the gun back a Rico, who then swallowed it.

Reniku just stared at Skipper.

"If you're going to shoot him now is a good time to do it." George said. He didn't sound angry. He sounded quite calm for what had just happened. He didn't think the Major had the guts to do that. He was actually impressed.

Reniku raised the lightning disk shooter and aimed it. But he didn't shoot. He was still shocked that Skipper had just done that. They boy had grown up a lot, he had gotten a lot braver from the time he left. Reniku lowered his weapon.

Skipper was actually shocked. He wouldn't have dodged the bullet, the disk, whatever Reniku decided to shoot him with.

"How did you do that?" He asked. "That thing was pointed at me when you shot it." Reniku said confused.

"Technically it was pointed at you when I pulled the trigger. It was pointed over your head when the actual missile came out." Skipper replied.

Reniku just stared at Skipper. He looked severely confused. "Can I?" Reniku asked looking up at George.

"He's not mine yet." George said. "Do what you want."

Skipper knew that would backfire at some point before he was reinstated. Skipper saw that Reniku was going to shoot this time. He saw hesitation in his eyes. He had to give the guy a break. He didn't think he would scare Reniku that much. So he stood up straight and put his arms out. He looked Reniku in the eyes. "Take your best shot Reniku." He said. "It's the last free bee you'll get."

Reniku was going to. He hated the kid. He absolutely hated the kid. But it took guts to do what he just did. Any other man would've killed him. But Skipper didn't. That kid just wanted to scare him. And he succeeded. But there was never a time, no matter what the kid did, that the kid would give anyone a free shot at him. Reniku was a schizophrenic. He knew though. He knew the kid knew that. That's why he had his friends sit down. He had seen in their eyes how much they wanted to help. But they knew not to. They knew that Skipper had them sit for a reason. There was a lot to be said about the kid. Reniku, as bold headed and at times didn't listen to others side of the story. He knew what things meant. He knew how to understand and figure things out. And he didn't think that this kid disserved to be shot at. He just didn't.

So he threw a needle at him. And watched him fall to the floor. He wasn't very obedient. He was a smart mouth. He was a sarcastic kid. But he was a good fighter. He had a good heart. And Reniku remembered. When the kid fought he had a reason. And when he was proven wrong he acknowledged it. But he was a clever bastard. And Reniku knew that he would find a way to get back home. But he would return. Because he was supposed to. He was indirectly obedient. But he wasn't good at asking permission. No he just came right out and did things. Maybe he had changed. Reniku couldn't know.

He got a complaint from one of them. If one of us did that you'd kill us. But this kid does it and you just put a needle in him? That's not fair."

"There's a simple reason to why you think that." Reniku replied, closing his eyes with his head slightly pointing towards the floor.. "He was brave enough to do so. And clever not to even scratch men. Where you. You soldiers aren't clever at all. And you have no bravery towards me." He opened his eyes and looked at the complained, not moving his head at all "And you better not pull something like that. If you do. You'll be sorry."

"But-"

"No buts. He is a brave bastard. And you are not. No shut up."

Kowalski, Rico, and Private were shocked at Skipper being called a bastard. Not so much at the fact that he was on the floor out cold right now. But they didn't ever see anyone calling him that. It wasn't natural. They didn't hear cursing a lot. It was the final wake up call that said. 'Welcome to the training station of hell boys.' It was the final push to the realization that these people were dangerous.

But Skipper was right when he said everyone had a weakness. He demonstrated that with Reniku.

And somehow, they weren't scared anymore. They weren't all too worried either. They were more curious. Even Private.

A few minutes later they entered a rock cave. It was huge. But other that that it was your normal, rigged walled, bumpy. Dark cave.

Then the truck stopped and the engine was killed. They had arrived.

Let the fun begin.

Sorry for the cursing. But it brought out the military plot.
