Okay now on with chapter 8.
Hopefully by the end of next week we'll still be writing these stories. Protest SOPA, it needs to be stopped.
Disclaimer: I do not own Penguins of Madagascar.
(Lemur habitat)
The penguins hopped the wall into the lemur habitat and moved towards the stone house that Billy had been living in.
"There it is men. Now let's go show this guy what happens when someone tries to harm our friends," Skipper said and then they all moved closer to the stone house.
They all burst into the stone house. They saw the bed and a couple of chairs in the room. But there was no sign of the new lemur. No sign at all.
"Umm... he's not home skippa," Private said.
Skipper glanced around and said, "It appears so Private. Kowalski, any ideas?"
Kowalski looked around, but saw nothing that could help.
"Sorry Skipper. He could be anywhere right now," Kowaslki said to Skipper.
Skipper turned to his men and said, "Search the zoo. He has to be around somewhere."
The men all saluted Skipper and each ran off in seperate directions.
"The new guy had better hope that I'M not the one who finds him," Skipper said with venom in his voice.
(Out in the park)
A few animals were gathered under a tree and were placing bets with one another. Among them were a couple of possums, a black cat, and a grey squrriel. Their friend, Archie, was supposed to have been with them that night, but he had some charecters to swindle that night. The only light in the room came from a little battery powered lamp.
The four were busy enjoying swindling each other. They didn't even notice the ring tailed lemur entering the room. The lemur looked at the group of animals for a little bit before he made his presence known.
"Excuse me gentlemen?" Billy asked out of nowhere.
The four animals jumped and turned towards Billy. Billy smiled and sat down in front of them.
"I was passing by and I saw the light eminating from here. Then I saw what you were all doing. So can I join in, in all of this?" Billy asked.
The four looked at Billy and they began laughing all at once. Billy's left eye began twitching and he asserted himself a little more.
"May I... get involved... in... your... game?" Billy asked a little more angrily.
The animals laughed again. After a moment one of the possums finally calmed down enough to talk.
"No you may not. Park animals only. NO ZOO ANIMALS," the possum said and then he began poking Billy in the chest.
Billy gave him the evil eye and asked, "Why? What's wrong with us zoo animals?"
The cat laughed a little and said, "Because you are all spoiled little animals who only care for your own good. You're all greedy. Hell even our greedy friend Archie is giving sometimes. A lot more than you zoo animals."
Billy's left eye then began twitching wildly and he began gritting his teeth.
"Oh really? What is that I see you lot doing? I see you guys swindling each other. You men are scamming each other and stealing from each other. And you criticize ME for being greedy?" Billy said and began laughing wildly.
The cat walked to him and extended his claws and held them up to Billy's throat.
"Leave now. Or I'll slice your throat open," the cat threatened.
Billy smirked and just merely walked out of the little burrow under the tree. The animals went back to their betting game of cards. After a few minutes they heard the sound of shuffling coming from the opening.
The cat sighed and said, "That must be him again. I'll take care of him."
The other three animals laughed as they watched their friend walk over to the burrow entrance. The cat climbed into the entrance, but was met with a hard blow to the forehead. The cat's lifeless body slid back into the room. The possums and squrriel watched their friends body slide back from the entrance. A moment later, Billy entered the room with a bloody stone in his paw, which he then threw onto the ground.
One of the possums jumped up from the table and tried to rush Billy. Instead Billy grabbed the possum by the sides of the head and twisted his head, breaking the possum's neck. The possum slumped to the ground. The squirrel tried to dash past Billy, but Billy merely grabbed him and slammed him against the wall of the burrow, knocking him out. The other possum jumped on Billy and began trying to strangle him. But Billy's limber paws managed to get a good hold on the possums claws and pulled them away from his throat. He then stood up and began overpowering the possum and slammed him headfirst into a rock on the burrow floor. The possum then lie motionless on the ground. Billy kicked the possum a few times to see if he was truly dead.
"Are you really dead? Or are you just playing?" Billy asked the motionless possum.
The possum didn't move.
Billy sighed and said, "Guess I'll have to take more drastic measures,"
Billy walked over to the burrow entrance and climbed out into the park. Once he was out in the park, Billy walked over to a nearby trash can and pulled out a book of matches that he had found in the zoo office. The tree was dry, the lack of rain and unusablly warm weather lately had dryed the tree out and made it a fire risk.
Billy lit the whole book and said, "Burn baby."
He then threw the book of matches into the burrow and watched as the wood easily caught and started burning the tree. If any those animals were still alive, they were screwed now.
Another grey squirrel saw the tree burning and came over to Billy.
"Hey man, were you in there?" the squirrel asked.
Billy looked at the squirrel and asked, "What did you see?"
The squirrel fidgeted and said, "I saw you standing in front of the tree and the fire. Were you in there? Are you hurt? Is anyone else still in there? Oh my, we need to get help. Yes that's what I'll do. I'll get help. I'll get someone to-."
The squirrel was cut off as Billy grabbed him by the sides of the head and twisted the squirrels neck.
"There, now you're dead. What do you think about that?" Billy taunted and then he picked up the body and threw it into into the roaring fire as well.
Billy watched the fire and he laughed for a little bit. He wished that he had some marshmallows for roasting. Be he didn't, so he just turned away from the tree and began walking back towards the zoo.
His damage done.
(Meanwhile in the zoo)
The penguins went all around the zoo, but found no sign of Billy. They all met back at their platform after spending a good half hour searching the entire.
"Any news boys?" Skipper asked.
The other penguins just shook their heads no.
Skipper groaned and said, "Well he has to be here somewhere. We'll have to take this search out into the park. If we can't find him here, then he has to be there. Move now men."
The penguins saluted Skipper and they all Belly slid to the zoo gate. But as they jumped up onto the wall, they looked out into the park and saw an orange glow in the distance.
"Oi! What is that Skippa?" Private asked.
Skipper looked to where Private was pointing and saw what he was pointing at.
"I can't tell. What do you make of it Kowalski?" Skipper asked his liuetenant.
Kowalski whipped out his binoculars and looked in the distance. It took a moment for him to realize what it was.
"Skipper there is a tree burning out in the park. And it looks bad," Kowalski said with rising urgancy in his voice.
Skipper looked to his men and said, "86 the lemur boys. We need to get this taken care of. If that fire spreads to another tree, half the park could go up. Kowlaski you get the speak and spell. Rico you get some quarters from the fountain. Private, you and me will get to the phone. Now move out men. Diuble time."
The men saluted and they all rushed off. Right after they left perch however, Billy walked out of the darkness and over to the zoo gate. He knew the penguins were probably after him, not that he actually cared.
He was sure that the penguins were too distracted to notice him slip by. He ran from the gate, to the lemur habitat, and climbed over the wall. He peered back out into the zoo and realized that the penguins hadn't seen him.
Billy giggled a little and went back to the stone house.
(The next morning)
The fire department had gone out during the night and managed to extinguish the flames. Even though some remains of the matchbook had been found, the fire department was adament that the fire was set by some kids out trying to have a little fun. They made their conclusion very quickly and allowed for a crew to come out and start removing the remains of the tree.
By noon, most of the tree was already ground up by a woodchipper that the crew had brought with them. When they were done, the men only wanted to take the woodchips to their destination. They figured that the woodchipper machine could wait until later to take back.
So the clean up crew left the park, leaving the woodchipper behind.
(Wolf habitat)
Portia and Tybalt waited anxiously for Billy to return to the wolf habitat. He was already late.
Portia growled and said, "How much longer do we have to wait?"
As soon as she said that, Billy clambered over the wall and into the habitat.
"Where were you?" Portia growled at Billy.
Billy sneered and said, "I had to avoid the penguins alright. I think that they may be after me. Anyway, tonight we have to begin."
"What? Why?" Tybalt whined.
Billy sneered some more and said, "Because the boss sent someone with the final instructions today. Step one was to enter the zoo. Step two was to blend in. Step three was to scope it out and cause a little mayhem if we wished. We now know where to strike this place and how to do it. We know when the zookeepers come and leave. And when the security personel work the zoo. The final instructions arrived today. Tonight we have to finish things."
Portia and Tybalt began smiling and then they began laughing as well.
"But there is one thing I need though," Billy said to the wolves.
Portia sighed and said, "What do you need?"
Billy pointed over at the otter habitat and said, "I'm going to bring my son with me when we leave. I'm not leaving without him."
Portia and Tybalt nodded at each other and agreed with Billy.
Billy smiled and said, "Good. Bring him over here tonight. Oh and be sure to bring the male otter too. Preferably alive. Dead is okay."
Portia and Tybalt nodded again and the trio of animals all shared a laugh over it.
Well tonight the enemies plans go into action. Let's see what happens.
Remember to read and review please.
