Barnacles came to the Ski Village unaware of an ambush laying in wait for him,
"Hello? I thought I saw the green penguin here." He said to himself.
The village was oddly quiet and no penguin was in sight, apart from a snow sculpture of a penguin.
"Hello is anyone there? Huh?" he thought he saw the snow-penguin move her mouth, then he heard a noise above him.
Barnacles looked up and a large fishing net fell on top of him, he tried to get up but heavy weights held the net down,
"What's going on?" he said puzzled as the snow-penguin took her disguise off, revealing that she was an ordinary purple penguin.
Other penguins began to emerge from their hiding places, and tie the net up. Then a red penguin wearing a jetpack flew down from the sky and tied Barnacles hands and feet together.
"Good work Jet Pack Guy and Dot." Gary emerged from the Ski Lodge, with Rookie trembling behind him,
"Thanks Agent G." JPG replied.
"Now what will we do with Herbert?" Gary turned to Barnacles,
"Herbert? Who's Herbert?" Barnacles was very confused.
"You are, don't try and fool me Herbert, I may have accidently helped you escape once, but I won't make the same mistake again." Rookie gulped, as Gary reported back to the Director.
"Herbert who?" Barnacles stared at the penguins around him,
"Herbert P. Bear Esquire." Gary stared back through his glasses.
"Herbert Percival Bear?! Oh no I'm not him, I'm Captain Barnacles of the Octonauts."
"No you're n, not, y, you're not going to f, fool me again." Rookie stammered. "Y, you're Herbert, who captured me and froze me in your Lair. You've destroyed the PSA and almost the EPF, you've tried to stop our parties, you've almost sunk the island, and recently you took over the island for yourself!"
"What?" Barnacles gasped, "But, Herbert would never do that, I would never do that. I don't understand." Now he was even more confused.
...
Meanwhile back on the Migrator, Kwazii noticed that Captain Barnacles was missing,
"Captain Barnacles? Captain?" he called as he made his way off the ship.
"Who be this Captain Barnacles ye be callin' for?" Rockhopper asked as he followed him.
"He be the Captain of the Octonauts, who I be a part of. We were looking for me shipmate Peso penguin, I thinks he's been captured by the Giant Furry Mutant Crab!"
"Ie, that monster's been sighted here, but that be a long time ago now." Rockhopper stroked his beared, as three puffles bounced over to them.
"Hey there ya little puffles." Kwazii smiled, the puffles bounced up and down agitatedly.
Then Kwazii noticed Peso's medical bag in the purple puffle's mouth,
"Wait that be Peso's medical bag, he's never ever without it, that scurvy Mutant Crab must have him." He gasped.
Yarr bounced over to PIXAR, Pinky and Purplepie, they squeaked to each other.
"What are they saying?" Kwazii asked,
"I don't know, Yarr may be able t'tell me." Rockhopper said as Yarr bounced back to him.
Yarr then did a series of bounces and squeaks, Kwazii had no idea what the puffle was doing, but the Captain seemed to understand at once.
"These puffles be sayin' that your penguin friend be captured in the forest. These puffle's owners went a' lookin' for him but were captured once they found him."
Kwazii picked up the medical bag, "Well this furry Mutant crab's messed with the wrong pirate's pals!" he turned to the three puffles,
"Can ya take me to them?" the puffles nodded in reply.
"Ok, lead the way puffles!" Kwazii shouted,
"Thanks for ya help Captain." He called back to Rockhopper as he followed the puffles.
"It be a pleasure Kwazii." Rockhopper shouted back.
"Come on Yarr we best be gettin' the island ready for the Holiday Party." He said as he returned to the Migrator.
