Chapter 8: The Truce

Blowhole was still in the same position when his older brother left. On the cold metal floor. Everything has gone wrong, according to the male dolphin. His brother has returned more powerful and possibly stronger.

This terrified Blowhole dearly.

"Sir!"

Blowhole snapped towards the source, recognizing the voice of one of his henchman. The lobster had a bright evil smile, and seemed proud of whatever the lobster done.

"What is it, Red 1?" asked Blowhole, now frowning. Knowing this won't show the fear that hid behind his frown and eyes...Or, eye mostly.

Red 1 continue his dark smile. "The prisoners tried to escape! And, almost did too, but I was there to stop them."

Blowhole slid over to his segway, and placed himself upon it. "Yeah? So?"

"So? Aren't you gonna punish them?" asked Red 1, who blinked in confusion of Blowhole's attitude. Usually when a prisoner escaped but is recaptured, they torture the hostage. Blowhole always suggested this and laughed.

But, today Blowhole was different.

"No..." trailed and answered the mad dolphin. "I have enough problems."

"What do you mean?" Red 1 blinked in confusion.

"I mean, we have other concerns." Blowhole tried to explain.

Red 1 was about to respond, but suddenly another lobster came forward in urgency.

"Sir! We have a huge problem!" freaked out the lobster, which was Red 2. "The penguins are not sighted at all! It's like they disappeared!"

Blowhole gave no reaction as if he already knew, and he did. "Yes...Alright."

Red 1 and 2 blinked at this. This was unlike their leader at all.

Blowhole was in deep thought, he knew the world will soon fall from the wrath of the dark forces. The penguins are no longer here to save them, and humanity is oblivious of the current situation. Blowhole then blinked, should he do something? Blowhole was an evil villain, and something like this goes everything against his will. But ,if he doesn't do it...

Who will?

That's when Blowhole made his regretting decision. "Lobsters, gather everyone up...I have an announcement."

The two lobsters nodded, and went to comply Blowhole's orders.

"Oh, there you are, girly cubby!" smiled Julien when he spotted Kiara in a cage coming over. The two lobsters that were holding the cage, placed the cage on the ground. One of the lobsters went to the control panel and pressed a few buttons. The gate was then open, Cari saw this oppurtunity, and turned to Julien.

"Run, lemur!"

Julien gasped, then nodded. He soon took off, but the other lobster near the cage grabbed Julien by the tail. Julien yelped at this, and the lobster threw him back in the cell, while pushing Kiara, who was in her cage, inside the cell as well.

The lobster on the control panel closed the gate in a hurry, and the three animals were locked in.

"Enjoy your stay!" the lobster, that grabbed Julien's tail, laughed. The other lobster soon joined the laughter, but both ceased when they saw another lobster coming towards them.

"Doctor Blowhole ordered us all to join a meeting. We gotta go!"

The two lobsters nodded, and all three went out of the room.

But, of course, they locked the cell nice and tight, as it was stated before

"Well, this stinks." Cari announced to break the silence.

Kiara had to giggle at this. It made her remind her of her two baby-sisters, Timon and Pumbaa.

Cari frowned at the cell around her, then she sighed. "Now what? There's nothing that we can do to escape..."

"Yeah, but at least we have the strange girly cubby!" piped up Julien.

Kiara had to smile of how silly this lemur acted. It amused her and made her smile.

"True," agreed Cari. "but there's the matter of dying."

Kiara dropped her smile when hearing this. "Dying? What're you talking about?" she widen her eyes in fear when looking at Cari for the answer.

"I don't know about you, girly cubby. But, Blowy wants to be killing me!" Julien gulped as he answered.

Cari nodded. "Yeah, don't know about me and you though."

Kiara gulped. "B-But...He's so nice."

Cari and Julien both blinked at this. Blowhole's nice? When did this happen? Blowhole was more of a jerk to them. Though, Julien finds Blowhole a bit mean, but not as much to the point of hatred. Cari was a bit different about the male dolphin.

"You sure about that?" asked Cari.

Kiara returned to her smile. "Yeah! He comforted me when he took out my blood."

"B-Blood?" Julien widen his eyes. "Why would he be doing that?"

The small cub shrugged. "I don't know myself, really...I just know that he wants me around to do other experiments or something like that."

"Yeah, for his advantage!" Cari warned. "Don't be decieve by his kindness, Kiara."

Kiara frowned. "But, shouldn't we give everyone a chance?"

"Yeah, but not if someone kidnapped you!" Cari snapped.

Kiara flinched a bit at Cari's snappy comment. Cari noticed this then sighed. "Just be careful, alright? We need to find how to get out of here!"

"Then what?" asked Kiara with a small frown.

Cari was caught off guard by this question. "Excuse me?"

"What are we going to do if we escape?" Kiara asked and explained more. "What are we going to do after?"

The female dolphin blinked before answering. "I didn't think much of where we'll go. But, I'll think of something."

"How bout where I live?" suggested Julien, who now wanted to be apart of the conversation. Before he was listening, but that soon grew to boredom. Julien also thought it would be good for them to live in Central Park Zoo. Even Julien thought it was more organized and safe with the penguins around, of course he's not one to admit.

"Depends. Where do you live?" Cari focused on Julien.

"Eh...Something Central...Coo? No, that is not to be being it, it's Central Zoo!" Julien answered with a smile of a silly child.

Cari blinked. "Central Zoo?"

"Wait...Central Park Zoo." Julien said, after he thought over his answer.

Kiara frowned. "Zoo? What's that?"

"Entertaining humans." Cari answered. "Very humiliating if you ask me." she crossed her flippers in a huff. Not liking the idea of being held captive and do tricks for the humans.

"But, we get free food!" the lemur king cheered with a fist pumped in the air.

The lioness princess chuckled a little at Julien, she found him funny and amusing. But, there was one thought that kept her in the back of her mind. Who was the person that Blowhole seemed to freak out? Was it someone bad?

Kiara would just have to wait.

In the main base of Blowhole's lair, there were huge amounts of lobsters. The scenery of the main base was one filled of computers and monitors, though all were turned off. Blowhole was in the front of the room, waiting for every single lobster from the lair through-out to be in this particularly area.

"Everyone here, sir." came up Red 1, who had a chart on his claw.

This was all Blowhole needed to hear. "Thank you, Red one. You may join the rest of your co-workers."

Red 1 nodded and made his way towards the crowd, whom all were already silent. Waiting for their leader to speak and why they were pulled away from their routine so suddenly.

"I call all of you today to discuss a new plan." Blowhole began with a frown. "The involves the old one. But, first an announcement." he studied each lobster, whom all seem nervous of the upcoming. Blowhole continued. "The pen-gu-ins have been captured."

This brought a cheer from the crowd of lobsters.

"But, not by us." Blowhole frowned grimly.

The lobsters' cheers ceased immediately, and turned into dead silence of shock.

Blowhole broke this silence. "No, they were captured by a new threat. Even a threat to us."

The oxygen now seemed to be suffocating. The air was tensed of the very idea of a bigger threat, even towards villainy themselves. Blowhole decided to continue his speech. "I know we've always encountered struggles in the past and we always get through. But, this time we have to stay cautious..." his expression grew grim as his voice became fear. "This time...We have to encounter our hidden pasts and fear." Blowhole knew the last statement was mostly for himself, though he continued. "The pen-gu-ins have always tried to help others. It's our time to full-fill their duty."

Lobsters held their breath, trying to let this new information in. But, it still didn't make sense to them. They knew there were other threats, but their boss always found a way to win or escape the wrath. But, this time, Blowhole seem to be at lost and was just telling the lobsters of what he knew. And, what they had to do, though it was very unusual for the mad dolphin.

"Are you saying we have to do good?" asked Red 1 in great confusion.

Blowhole sighed then answered. "Yes. For you see-" he was cut off by another lobster that raged out.

"But, we can't do that! We only know evil! We never knew good and I attend to keep it that way!" the lobster shouted and put down his leader. Though, to the lobster, the leader was gone to the side of light.

Blowhole growled. "I know! But, put your stubbornness aside an-" he was again cut off by another lobster.

"I refuse to do such work! I'm outta here!" with that said, the lobster left and went out the exit to do its' own bidding. The other lobsters watched him leave and slowly, they followed.

"Hey! Where're you going?" Blowhole widen his eyes.

Red 1 sighed and turned to Blowhole in regret. "Sorry, boss. But, even if we do agree to side with you on this, we can't be much of help." he sighed again but continued. "The fear in your voice is too great, and it won't help. This seems like it's too much of a dark matter to our liking. Not to mention, you want us to do the right thing. We can not do such a thing." the lobster bowed a bit in respect. "With this, we bid you, adieu." those were his final words before he left.

Blowhole was now alone in his liar. He stood still for a moment, before sighing. What was he to do now? His 'loyal' minions left him just because there were a change of plans. Darkness were still lurking, and he knew his brother was behind it same with that lion. He knew this one hundred percent by his experience of the small reunion with his brother.

Blowhole glanced around to only see the emptiness of other life. Soon, a thought struck him. That cub...She was from the other dimension, same as the other half of the dark forces. Maybe she was the answer to stop this madness. Then again, he can't do much with that cub alone...Perhaps, Julien would be of help. The lemur did prove himself worthy be ceasing his plan for world domination. Then another came to mind...That female dolphin, Cari. She seemed to know more than she let on. Not to mention, she appeared fascinated with his technology, it would be good to have an extra brain of intelligence.

The mad dolphin now knew he had to get help in another source. Which he would have never thought before or would never consider it. He needed Kiara, Julien, and Cari.

To be his new ideal team.

The three animals were still stuck in their jail-cell, while Cari was thinking of a plan for all of them to escape. So far, there was no luck. Cari was quite smart, but it was harder to compete with another dolphin who defeated her intelligence. But, she wasn't going to give up for this. Oh no, she thought of this as a challenge, and she was determined to bring him down.

Julien was just trying to teach Kiara how to play patty-cake.

"You see, girly cubby. It's all very simple! All you need to be doing is clap your paws." Julien clapped his paws to indicate his point. "Then hold them out with palms up." the lemur complied so to show Kiara. "While you slap my paws! After we be doing that, we be repeating but you play my role! Get it?"

Kiara blinked then smiled nervously. "Yeah, sure..."

"Great! Let us being the patty!" Julien cheered, then he held his paws out for Kiara to slap them, like in the game.

The cub gulped. "Um, Julien...You se-" she cut herself off when hearing the roll of a machine coming towards them. "Someone's coming!"

Cari frowned then nodded. She pulled Kiara behind her, while Julien hid behind Kiara in fear. Cari glared ahead and seemed ready to fight whoever was coming. What she saw is what made Cari go into boiling anger. Blowhole was in front of them, looking grim. He went towards the control panel, and pressed a few buttons. The cell then parted, and Blowhole entered. The animals decided not to move, not trying to make a run for it. Afraid that Blowhole was expecting that and was ready to destroy them.

Blowhole stared coldy at Cari, Julien, and Kiara. "All right, listen up."

Cari interrupted. "Wait, let me guess. More torture? Experiments? What?" she sounded irritated and angry. And, was attempted to make a run for it, but she thought this was just apart of Blowhole's plan.

Kiara frowned nervously and gazed at Blowhole, and was a bit depressed of Blowhole being truly evil. "Can we talk about this?"

"I refuse to get hurt! I am the king, and no king shall not be hurted." Julien declared with cross arms, but still hid behind Kiara for safety reasons.

Cari growled a bit at Julien. "Hurted is not a word." it was bad enough that Blowhole might do something to them. But, Julien's stupidly(According to Cari) was just plain annoying.

"In the royalty's dictionary, it is." Julien growled back and glared.

Blowhole snapped at them. "Quiet! So, I can explain!"

Julien and Cari remained quiet, and waited for Blowhole to continue. Kiara was ever curious of what the male dolphin would say.

"I..." Blowhole then sighed. "I call a truce."

There was silence, until Julien spoke up with un-crossed arms. "Eh, have you finally lost it?" he then smiled as he perked up. "Oh! I get it, you want me to be your spy! Double agent spy guy!"

"Well...In a way, yeah." Blowhole shrugged.

Julien then frowned. "Then you can forget it! You want to be killing me!"

"You knew about that?" Blowhole asked with a quirked brow.

Julien nodded then pointed to Cari. "She told me so!"

"Why do you want to kill him?" Kiara squeaked. "That's mean...Unless...Is Julien your meal?"

Cari smiled and patted Kiara's head od how innocent she is.

Blowhole rolled his eyes. "No, he's not my meal. Besides, I'm not going to kill him...anymore..."

"Anymore? What do you mean by that?" asked Cari with a quirk of her own.

"I need your help...All of yours." answered Blowhole, though he sounded like he was going to regret this.

"What happened to, killing the penguins and take over the world?" Cari questioned with a bit of mocking. She smirked when she saw Blowhole's irritation face. She knew she was getting to him.

"Something else has occurred, alright?" Blowhole growled. "That involves the pen-gu-ins."

Julien perked up when hearing this. "What about them?"

"Who're they?" asked Kiara.

"The pen-gu-ins are my flightless foes. Always trying to bring justice while I try to break it down." Blowhole clenched his flippers in anger on the handles of his segway. He continued to study the three animals in front of him. "This time, my plan seemed fool-proof! But...Another threat has shown it's face."

"What do you mean?" Cari frowned nervously. She didn't like the sound of a new threat that was even threatening to him.

"I mean..." Blowhole trailed of loss of words trying to think. "My brother."

"Your brother?" blinked Kiara.

Julien blinked the same. "You are to be having a brother? When?"

"How's he a threat?" asked Cari.

"I have a brother, and basically for my whole life. He is older than I." Blowhole answered Kiara and Julien's question, then he gazed at Cari, who saw the fear in his eyes. "He's a threat for he works with the darkness." before Cari could ask further, Blowhole continued. "You remember, Cari. O.U.T was to travel to different dimensions. Well, it worked, and the evil of that dimension entered this one." he pointed to Kiara. "She is apart of that transportation. She's from another dimension same with the dark forces. At least, half of it. The dark forces are combined with our darkness."

"So, let me get this straight. The dark forces of her dimension." Cari pointed to Kiara to prove her point. "Collided with the darkness in our dimension? Therefor making a huge threat towards Earth?"

"Yes...Though, it might even reach further besides this planet. It will expand it's rule and collide with other dimension darkness." Blowhole further explained. "They captured the pen-gu-ins."

Julien gulped when hearing this.

"And, it seems that we're at lost of heroes. My brother said so himself, that the pen-gu-ins had potential to stop darkness. But, the dark forces stopped the flightless before they got a chance. At first, I thought we're doomed to this darkness. But, something came into my mind." Blowhole continued. "I'm the one who started the whole thing by creating that invention. So, it's my duty to stop it. My minions have deserted me, and I have no choice to seek your help." Blowhole finished.

Cari frowned. "Why do you need our help?"

"You, Cari, are smart as I. That can be useful." Blowhole then turned to Julien. "You proved yourself worthy by back-stabbing me to save the world. Perhaps you can help save the world again." the dolphin laid his eyes on Kiara. "You're from a different dimension, the same as half of the dark forces. Perhaps you have hidden helpful potential to stop all this." Blowhole gazed at all of them, whom were shock. "Are you with me? To stop this threat?" Blowhole let his right flipper reach out, and waited for the others to respond.

Julien stared at it for a moment, before coming up and laid his paw on Blowhole's flipper. "I, the king, is in."

"I am too." Kiara placed her paw over Julien's.

The three then waited for Cari to respond. She knew Blowhole was an evil jerk, but this seemed to be a new light for him. And, she didn't want the dark forces to take over.

"I'm in." Cari laid her flipper upon Kiara's paw.

"Where are they?"

This was the question Extreme the penguin thought. She stayed behind for she had to watch over the zoo, and noticed that the male elite team were taking longer than expected. She was outside of H.Q. and was upon the plat-form. The sun was disappearing through the thick clouds. Extreme blinked at this. The clouds were black, and winds rushed through quickly.

She noticed that the humans were leaving the zoo quickly from the upcoming storm. But, Extreme was a bit surprised of what kind of storm this is. The clouds were fully black as if darkness itself. This was very abnormal, and what made her gasp is what she saw the color of the lightning. Blood red. Something was up, and she felt the vibe of darkness truly lurking.

How right she was.

A/N: Yeah, I know it's been a while since I updated this story...It's been, what? Four months? Man, am I lazy? But, you have to understand that school has been a hassle lately. I never knew Sophomore year would be so difficult! There's a lot of homework, especially in my medical class. Yup! I'm in medical! ^^ I want to be a nurse. :)

Also, have been a little depressed because a month ago my grandmother passed away. But, I must move forward! My grandma would want that. ^^ I'm happier, so don't feel bad that I was ONCE depressed. It's all good now! :D

But, anyway, enough about that. Lets scan this chapter. Hmm...Whoa! Would you look at that? That sure is a lot of drama! What would happen next? When does Blowhole's past ever be revealed? So many questions! Yet, all will be answered.

Stay tuned! :D
