"Flippy?" Skipper breathed, seeing, but not really understanding.
The dolphin is standing on a segway scooter, a mechanically device has replaced his old eye patch. And the area where his eye should have been has been replaced with a cyborg like devise, with a gleaming red light.
"Huh?" The dolphin turns his segway scooter around to stare at Skipper, seemingly as stunned as the penguin was.
"Flippy, what happened to you?" Skipper managed to choke out. This can't be real, it has to be just a dream.
"You're back Skipper?" Flippy says, astonished. "I thought I'd never see you again"
"Same" Skipper said, "Y-you have a cyborg eye"
"I know" Flippy said.
"Who built it for you?" Skipper asked, recovering from his shock.
"No one, I built it, like my segway scooter" Flippy looked at Skipper, "After you left, I figured that I could try out being a commando, it didn't work. So instead I tried building things, like I saw you do with my old eye patch. And boy was I great at it, so good in fact that I decided that I could do something about my situation" Flippy explained.
"You built it?" Skipper said, surprised, "that's great Flippy, but what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Seaville?"
"Oh, um, well Skipper, I'm just going to be straight forward with you." Flippy's words sent Skipper on edge, his gut kept telling him that there was something very wrong going on here.
"I'm here to steal some tech stuff from the comminisoner, to use as a weapon against humanity to get my revenge" Flippy said, his voice shook slightly, but his tone was firm, obviously he had thought about this for a long time.
"What!" Skipper exclaimed. "Didn't you listen to anything I told you! Revenge is never the answer! What happened to the dolphin I know?"
"Knew, Skipper, it's past tense," Flippy said softly.
"Flippy, we're friends!" Skipper started to say but Flippy quickly cut him off.
"Eight years Skipper!" Flippy snarled suddenly, his eye darkening, "You've been gone for eight years, five of which I've had to put up with the humans and their constant thinking and trying to train em, all because their stupid! They don't think I have a mind of my own, that I'm a genius! They didn't see it! And clearly neither do you!" Flippy roared.
"Flippy calm down!" Skipper snapped.
"No! Not Flippy" Flippy sneered, "I hate that name the humans gave me, it's Blowhole now!"
"What? You mean that old nickname I gave you? That's what you're calling yourself now?" Skipper blinked, he felt sudden agony in his chest, he knew that feeling all too well. It was his heart breaking, and if he didn't do something quickly than he would lose his best friend . . . . again.
"Yes, and I thank you for that idea Skipper, but I've been thinking about making it more-well me, So what do you think about Dr. Blowhole, has a nice ring to it don't you think?" Blowhole asked.
"Don't do this Blowhole" Skipper pleaded; he was fine with the name change, but the whole going evil thing he couldn't take. They would be enemies if that happened, and Skipper didn't want to lose another friend to the side of darkness.
"I'm sorry Skipper, but this is my choice, and I wish that you would respect that" Blowhole said.
"I-I-I respect your choice Blowhole, but you know what this means don't you?" Skipper said.
"That we're enemies, yes" Blowhole blinked, "I'll leave the city, I'll give you that much."
"If you go against my code, then I'll have to fight you" Skipper warned, anger creeping into his voice. Fury replaced his sorrow. How could Blowhole think that the answer to all of his problems lay in the path of evil and destruction! How could he be such an idiot!
"I know, but I'll stay clear of wherever you go, so that little meeting of ours can be avoided" Blowhole told him.
"Fine" Skipper snapped, "Go evil, see if I care, but it won't help your cause Blowhole" The dolphin seemed hurt by Skipper's words, but didn't say anything, mainly because Skipper was speaking again.
"But if we ever do meet again. I won't hesitate to take you down," Skipper warned, "now get out of my sight! I'll let you go this once!"
"Fine" Blowhole said sharply, he spun around and headed for the exit on his scooter, right before he left the house, he turned his head to look at Skipper and said.
"Take some advice Skipper, and get yourself a team that can help you when you need them, so you won't have to worry about them turning on your precious code".
"Never going to happen" Skipper turned away, then added softly, "If there's one thing I've learned, A friend is just an enemy that hasn't attacked yet"
