Kwazii ran through the Dock, Town, Snow Forts, Plaza, and finally to the Forest, as he followed the puffles. The puffles then lead him through the forest to the dark cave,
"This must be the Lair of the Furry Mutant Crab." Kwazii whispered.
Suddenly a shadow appeared inside the cave, and out came Herbert talking to Klutzy, who was on his shoulders.
"THE GIANT FURRY MUTANT CRAB!" Kwazii cried as the puffles hid behind a bush.
Herbert looked at Kwazii rather confused, "No one's called me that in a long time, and I've never seen a cat here on the island before."
"I be no ordinary cat," Kwazii meowed, "I be Pirate Kwazii Cat of the Octonauts! Now what have ya done to my friend Peso, ya scurvy beast!"
"I'm no beast, I'm just a humble polar bear," Herbert said slyly removing Klutzy from his shoulders, "and I have no idea where your penguin friend is."
"Oh, you're just a polar bea...Wait, I didn't say that Peso be a penguin!" Kwazii frowned.
"Errm..." Herbert said uneasily,
"You be the one who captured Peso, and Captian Barnacles."
"No I'm not, and anyway Barnacles is at the Ski Village captured by the EPF..."
"Kwazii, Kwazii, is that you, you, you?" Peso's voice echoed from inside the cave.
"Peso!" Kwazii ran to the cave, but instead he ran straight into Herbert, who blocked his way,
"Yeaow!" Kwazii looked up at the polar bear angrily.
"No one's going in there unless they're my captives," Herbert growled, "and you'll soon be one. Minions grab him!"
Crabs appeared from everywhere Kwazii seemed surrounded,
"You crabs know what to do once you've captured him. Now I'd better go, I've got an Octonaunt to impose as." Herbert smiled evilly as he picked up his bag and disappeared into the forest.
Little did Herbert know though, that the puffles PIXAR, Pinky and Purplepie, had crept inside while he'd been talking to Kwazii.
...
"Good work puffles" Eva smiled as the puffles passed her the cage keys. Peso and the four penguins were soon free,
"I think Kwazii's outside with Herbert, I hope he's ok." Peso said rather worried, as he took his bag from the puffles.
"You guys go outside and check on Kwazii, I'll stay here and try and figure out what Herbert's plans are from this notice board." Eva told them as they grabbed their spy phones. So they went outside while Eva and PIXAR looked at Herbert's plan board.
...
"Where's Kwazii?" Lennyice said as he looked around the clearing; no one was there.
"Oh no I hope Herbert hasn't got him." Prinsessrock gasped.
"YEOW!" Kwazii swung down from a tree vine and landed in front of the stunned penguins.
"Kwazii!" Peso smiled,
"Peso! You're ok me harty!" Kwazii turned to the two puffles,
"Thanks, little guys" he turned to the other penguins,
"You be the puffle's owners?"
"Yes this is Tweakbunny, and her friends Prinsessrock and Lennyice. Eva and her puffle are in the cave trying to figure out Herbert's plan." Peso explained.
"Herbert? Ya mean that scurvy polar bear, who sent those crabs after me?"
"Yes, but how did you escape the crabs?" Lennyice asked thrilled to meet the pirate cat.
"Well... I ran into the woods with the stampede of crabs chasin' after me. I know I couldn't out-run the scuttlin' little critters, but I could out-smart them! So I grabbed a vine and swung into the tree branches to hide. The crabs were soon confused, cause they could not find me, and disappeared into the forest, they seemed t' be headin' for the sea." Kwazii finished dramatically.
"Guys!" Eva and PIXAR ran out of the cave, "I think I've worked out what Herbert's going to do. I think... he's going to impersonate Captain Barnacles!"
"But why?" Prinsessrock gasped,
"To get onto the Octopod and escape the island, to somewhere warm!" Eva explained.
"Yarr, that polar bear said he was going to impersonate an Octonaut." Kwazii meowed.
"We have to tell the Octonauts and EPF!" Tweakbunny exclaimed.
"The EPF?" Kwazii looked puzzled,
"Long story, but they've captured Captain Barnacles thinking he's Herbert." Peso explained.
"Well we can't call the EPF, Herbert's messed up the phones." Lennyice sighed.
"But I can call the Octonauts on my communicator." Kwazii smiled.
Eva turned to the penguins as Kwazii called for backup, "Ok we'll meet some of the Octonauts at the beach and then rescue Captain Barnacles, I just hope we can convince the EPF."
Once everyone was ready, Eva shouted, "Ok everyone, lets WADDLE ON!"
"Meow, I'm a cat I can't waddle!" Kwazii pointed out,
"Well ok then, everyone let's MOVE OUT!" Eva cried, as the puffles lead the way out of the forest.
