Getting close to the end now guys.
Disclaimer: I do not own Penguins of Madagascar.
Skipper just looked and glared at Billy.
"So we meet again Fredricks. And I can also see that you still carry that grudge," Skipper said to Billy.
Billy glared back as well.
"What's it to you penguin?" Billy asked Skipper with venom in his voice.
"It was you killed that man in the garbage truck wasn't it? Tell me," Skipper demanded.
Billy smiled and said, "Yeah. That was me. So what? What do you care? You're a penguin, not a human."
Private gasped and Skipper went a little red.
"Life is life. Human or animal," Skipper said with his anger rising.
Billy sneered and jumped at Skipper and they both began wrestling upon the ground. Private gasped again and he joined the match as well. Marlene looked around and climbed up one of the nearby trees, with Danny squirming in her arms.
"Put me down Miss Marlene. You're crushing me," Danny said as Marlene clutched him tight.
"Oh, sorry Danny," Marlene said as she set him down on one of the branches of the tree.
She patted his head and they both lookeddown at what was going on. Private and Skipper were wrestling with Billy, trying to pry the screwdriver from his paws. Rico and Kowalski were being chased around by Portia. At the same time; Becky, Stacy, and Dave were being chased around by Tybalt. The wolves were fast, but the others were nimble and evasive. They were easily causing the wolves to run around in circles. But Marlene knew that they couldn't keep it up forever.
"Miss Marlene? What did he mean when he said those things about my mommy and unky Dave?" Danny asked regarding Billy.
Marlene looked down at Danny. She knew what he was talking about, but she didn't know what to say.
She merely sighed and said, "He means that, well, it's true that your mother was human and so was your uncle. Your father, Billy, was human once as well."
Danny merely took a step back from Marlene and said, "No. You're lying. It can't be true. It can't be."
Marlene just remained silent. Danny stepped back a little more and then he jumped down from the branch and down to the next and to the next until he reached the ground. He ran from the base of the tree and he began running around. Looking for his Uncle Dave.
(Badgers and Dave)
Dave and the badgers were easily out manuvering Tybalt, but it wasn't enough to slow him down.
"What are we going to do? We can't keep this up forever," Becky said in annoyance.
"I don't know. Just keep trying to dodge him for now," Dave said and the girls sighed again.
Tybalt turned again and snapped his teeth at Stacy's leg, but he missed. The girls were doing well on dodging Tybalt's attacks, but they were tiring out. Tybalt however still had plenty of energy.
"This is so not working," Stacy said as Tybalt made another snap at her.
Dave looked at her and realised she was right. Tybalt was simply not tiring out and he was trying really hard to get the girls and him.
Suddenly Dave was struck hard in the side and was thrown into a wall. He looked up and saw Tybalt standing above him, baring his teeth. Just waiting to take a bite out of him.
"I don't care what that dolphin needs you for. I am avenging my brother right now," Tybalt said and then reared his head back.
The lower half of Dave's body was aching and he tried hard, but couldn't turn or get away. But before Tybalt could bring his mouth down on Dave, a small otter ran into his view and began clutching Dave.
"Unky Dave is it ture?" Danny asked as soon as he grabbed his uncle.
Dave looked confused and said, "Danny no! You need to get out of here right now."
Tybalt shut his mouth and observed the scene before him. As much as he wanted to, he couldn't hurt the kid. It was Billy's orders and it was Billy that Tybalt actually feared.
"I'm not leaving until you tell me. Is it true?" Danny demanded.
Dave looked up at Tybalt and noticed that he had stopped his attack on him.
Dave looked back at Danny and asked, "Is what true Danny?"
Danny nestled himself closer to Dave and asked, "Did you and my mommy used to be... human?"
Dave could see the tears welling up in Danny's eyes and he could feel the guilt welling upside of him.
Dave finally broke down and said, "Yeah it's true. We were human once Danny. But we're not anymore."
The tears began to glide down Danny's cheeks and he backed away from Dave.
"No. You lied to me. Both you and mommy lied to me," Danny said.
Dave groaned and said, "Danny we didn't think it was anything you needed to know."
Dave tried to explain some more, but Danny's voice began to rise.
"You lied to me. Both you and my mommy. Don't talk to me anymore. I HATE YOU!" Danny yelled and ran off with tears falling from his eyes.
"DANNY WAIT!" Dave yelled and tried to go after him, but was stopped by Tybalt placing a paw on Dave's chest.
"Aww, what a shame. But don't you worry. Billy is going to take good care of his son. He has been wanting him so bad since he came back," Tybalt said.
Dave's eyes went wide and said, "What? That can't be true."
Tybalt cackled a little more and said, "Oh yes it is. Now hold still and say good night."
A huge stone came down on Tybalt's head and he fell down.
Becky stood on Tybalt's back dusting of her paws and she said, "Good night."
Feeling started coming back to Dave and he cautiously and carefully stood back up.
"Thanks girls. But I need to go after Danny. You guys go help Rico and Kowalski. They may need help," Dave said and both Becky and Stacy agreed and ran off.
Dave stood up and ran after Danny. But the whole Billy possibly being alive nagged at his brain. He figured it could wait until later. Right now Danny was his top priority.
(Rico and Kowalski)
Rico and Kowalski were just belly sliding all over the place, doing their best to avoid Portia. But Portia was becoming aware of their manuvering patterns. She was beginning to block their paths. At one point even she managed to bite Rico's foot. Of course Rico had retaliated by kicking Portia in the jaw. All this did was enrage her. Kowalski had then knocked a trash can over and had rolled it into Portia's path, making her trip. It was at this moment that Kowalski had suggested to Rico they take her from the side, but she had reagined her footing and was staring them down again.
"Well now, evenly matched are we? You think I'm going to let you get away with killing my Hector?" Portia said as she stared at the penguins.
Kowalski breathed heavily and said, "Your Hector was a warmongering villain who was willing to kill humans and children for his ambitions. He belongs dead."
Portia reared back and said, "Just like you don't deserve to live for ruining our lives."
Portia then jumped towards Kowalski and Rico, both of whom barely dodged her lunge.
Rico blabbed something to Kowalski who nodded his head.
"Agreed Rico. She has lost it completly. She's even crazier than you. Which I didn't even think was possible," Kowalski said.
Portia turned and licked her chops.
"Aww! You really think that? I'm flattered, but flattery will get you nowhere boys. Now prepare to die," Portia said and then jumped again.
The penguins went into their stances, but lowered them when two certain badgers rammed into Portia's side and began clawing at her. It was Becky and Stacy.
"Wha? Girls what are you doing?" Kowalski said when he noticed them.
Becky looked at Kowalski as she clung to Portia's side.
"Helping you. Now would YOU help US please?" Becky said.
Kowlaski sighed and said, "Come on Rico. Let's help them out."
Rico grunted and both he and Kowalski went to help the girls.
(Skipper, Private, and Billy)
The other penguins and Billy were still wrestling on the ground. Skipper had managed to get the screwdriver out of Billy's paw, but that didn't stop Billy from taking the penguins on. When ever they tried to get out of Billy's grip, he would pull them back in and vice versa. It was an even match.
Eventually Billy succeded in getting out of Skipper's grip and managed to get on his feet and he tried to make a run for it. But Skipper and Private managed to slide after him.
"There is no way we are letting you get away Billy. Not after all you have done," Skipper called to Billy.
Billy looked back as he ran and said, "You'll have to catch me first."
Skipper sneered and said, "Gladly."
"Do you think we can get him Skippa? He's running faster than we can go," Private asked.
Skipper looked at Private and said, "At least our method of travel doesn't use up too much energy. He'll have to stop sometime Private."
Private nodded and the penguins kept up their pursuit.
(Dave)
Dave ran to the maintnence shed, which is where he saw Danny running. Dave stopped running and he slowly walked towards the shed. Inside he could hear the sound of Danny crying. Dave slowly peeked in and saw the dead security guard lying on the ground.
Dave gagged and he heard Danny's crys come from behind the door. Dave peered around the corner and sure enough, there was Danny with tears rolling down his eyes.
"Danny? It's okay buddy. You don't have to cry," Dave said softly, but was met with a cold stare.
"Leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you," Danny said and then turned away from Dave.
Dave sighed and said, "I'm so sorry Danny. Your mother and I should have told you the truth from the very beginning. Yes your mother and I use to be human. Yes your father used to be human. Does that make us love you any less? No it doesn't. We love you just the same. Please don't be angry with us. We never meant to hurt you."
Danny looked back at Dave, but he still had that cold loathing in his stare.
"But why did you lie about my daddy? You both said he was dead," Danny said.
Dave shook his head and said, "We didn't lie about that Danny. Your father was killed. I know, I saw it happen. Besides, it was best that you never knew him."
"Why? Is something wrong with him?" Danny asked.
Dave gave Danny a strong look and said, "Your father did some terrible things Danny. He even tried to kill me and your mother. He tried to kill you before you were born. There is nothing good about him Danny. You're better off without him. That's the main reason why we didn't want to tell you the truth. Your father is a monster. All we wanted was to protect you, because we love you buddy. And we'll continue to protect you."
Danny gulped and looked back at Dave. More tears began to stream down from his eyes.
"I'm sorry unky Dave," Danny said and began wipping his tears away.
Dave walked over to his nephew and gave him a hug.
"It's okay buddy. It's alright," Dave said and held Danny close.
"Aww. Such a touching moment. Too bad it's a short lived one," came Billy's voice.
Dave turned around and saw Billy standing behind him.
"Hello Billy," Dave said angrily.
"Filling my son with ideas Dave? How sweet. Now leave him alone and give him to me," Billy continued.
"No. I'm not going with you," Danny said to Billy.
Billy did a double take and said, "Don't you dare talk to your father like that."
Danny glared at Billy and said, "You are not my daddy."
Billy growled and said, "How dare you, you little brat."
Billy took a step forward, but was rammed by Skipper.
"Don't even think about it Billy. Your reign of terror ends tonight," Skipper while atop Billy.
Billy grabbed Skipper's chest feathers and said, "You want to dance. Then let's dance."
Dave put Danny down and said, "Count me in."
Both Skipper and Dave pounced on Billy and their fight began.
Special thanks to Karenkook for the five levels of grief. I couldn't think of anything for bargaining, so we're just going to say that happened off screen.
Next chapter the fight continues and some lives will be lost.
Remember to read and review please. Thank you.
