Herbert paced cautiously up and down the Beach, he was getting impatient; the crabs should have been here by now with the Octopod. He didn't want to get caught by the Elite Penguin Force. He couldn't believe that even though he'd destroyed the EPF HQ not that long ago, that agents were still loyal to its cause and already rising against him again. He still couldn't believe that some agents had saved Club Penguin from his rule, without their precious Director or fellow agents. Those agents would pay some day for humiliating him.

'Although' Herbert thought, 'If I escape the island now, I won't get my revenge on those puny penguins. Hmm, it doesn't matter though, because I'll be free! I'm going to have a real Christmas Holiday! HAHA!'

Suddenly he noticed something rising out of the water; it was the Gup-X! The Gup came to rest near the Beach shoreline

"Ahh. Finally, wait I thought the Octopod was shaped like an octopus, this ship is shaped like a horseshoe crab? Oh well I guess this must be one of its smaller submarines."

Herbert spotted Klutzy through the window, "What took you so long Klutzy? Klutzy? Klutzy! Why are you dancing?"

He noticed that all the crabs were dancing, "Why are you all dancing on the job?! Hey come back here I haven't finished yet!"

the Gup-X raised itself up from its treads , so that the crabs were out of Herbert's sight.

Suddenly a hatch opened underneath the Gup and out jumped Klutzy holding the remote, followed by all the crabs.

"Klutzy, what are you doing?!" Herbert growled, then he heard the beeping noise,

'Beep, beep, beep...' the remote went,

"Grrrr, not again!" Herbert snatched the remote and stopped it from beeping.

'Beep, beep, beep...' something was still beeping, then more he heard more beeps, Herbert looked up.

"YOU!" Herbert cried in rage as crabs danced around him,

"Hey Herbert, like my tune?" Rookie laughed as he pressed more buttons on the control panel, "your crabs seem to!"

"Grrr! When I get my paws on you..."

"FREEZE HERBERT!" Eva shouted as she jumped out of the Gup, followed by her three friends and the Octonauts.

"GRRRRR!" Herbert growled in anger as more agents surrounded him. Gary came out from inside the Lighthouse while Jet Pack Guy flew down from the sky, and Dot stepped out of her snow-penguin disguise.

"SURPRISE!" they all shouted.

"NOOO!" Herbert gasped, while his minions continued to dance to the funky music Rookie was creating.

"Ok Herbert are you going to come quietly, or not?" Prinsessrock asked,

"Never!" Herbert roared.

"Ok." Jet Pack Guy zoomed over and dropped a wooden crate on top of Herbert's head,

"Aaaaa, I can't see!" Herbert stumbled this way and that,

Rookie then came down from the Gup-X and grabbed the remote control Herbert had dropped. He pressed the switch and made it beep again, and then taped the remote to the box on Herbert's head.

"Arrgh what's that annoying beeping sound?" Herbert said confused as the dancing crabs began to follow him. Jet Pack Guy grabbed some rope, and he and Barnacles quickly tied Herbert up.

"Good work agents and Octonauts." Gary congratulated them.

"Thanks for your help EPF agents." Barnacles replied, "But I have a question, what is the EPF?"

"Well the Elite Penguin Force is a secret agency that protects the island from danger; I'm the agency's scientist. For the last couple of years we've thwarted Herbert's selfish plans, although at a cost." Gary pointed to the damaged Facility in the distance.

"Bada Boo!" Tunip exclaimed urgently pulling Gary's sleeve, but he just carried on talking,

"This is Jet Pack Guy, our eye in the sky, and this is Dot our disguise expert, oh and here comes PH our Puffle expert." Gary waved to a brown penguin wearing an explorer outfit, coming from the Dock.

PH waved back, three puffles were following her, "G'day mates! Wow nice ship ya got there."

PH smiled at the Octonauts.

"Umm Gary where's Herbert?" PH asked,

"What! He's gone!" Gary exclaimed.

"Bada Boo!" Tunip pointed to the crowd of agents running towards the Ski Village, following a crowd of crabs.

...

By the time the Octonauts and other agents reached the Ski Village Herbert had already gone.

"Well for a big bear he's a fast runner." Lennyice puffed.

"Yeh, he certainly is, even when his arms are partly tied and he can't see." Prinsessrock agreed.

"Well he did bump into the ski lift pole before he ran into the forest." Tweakbunny giggled.

"Yeh, and it's funny that the crabs were still dancing as they followed him." Lennyice laughed.

Eva saw the crowd running towards them.

"Sorry G, but he's gone." Eva explained to the scientist as he ran up to them, "I don't think the ropes were tied tight enough."

"Well you tried your best agents, and we're thankful for that." Gary told them.

"Well Herbert's escaped again." Dot sighed.

"We'll catch him another time." Jet Pack Guy said reassuringly as they all waddled back to the Beach.
