The Sewers
11:30 A.M. Eastern Standard Time
(Kowalski's POV)
We landed in the sewers flashlights at the ready. "Rico hand me the map," I said. Rico handed me the map of the sewer system, "Okay…" "I'll take point," Marlene said. "that's not the order of succession," I said, "if Skipper is M.I.A I'm the leader." "Then lead!" Private said. "Follow me," I replied. We followed the sewer pipes until we could hear city traffic above us. "Time to see where we are," I said. Private lifted the manhole cover and said, "45th avenue!". "Let's blow this filthy stinking disese ridden cesspool," I said my words echoing off the wall. The voice of the King Rat echoed back, "FILTHY STINKING CESSPOOL!" "Way to go Kowalski," Marlene muttered.
"Run," I said. We all jumped on to the ladder and started to climb. "You not getting away that easily flightless birds," The Rat King said. "You will pay for insulting the sewers we call home!" a rat said. "Yah!" another one said. "Um…sorry," I said. "Apology not accepted," a third replied. "Let's give these birds the beating they deserve," The King Rat replied. All One hundred rats behind him laughed evilly before charging forward with the rat monarch. "Retreat!" I shouted. "Retreat where? we're in there turf now!" "Retreat up!" I shouted and we all rushed out of the sewer.
"should we get them?" one of the rats said. "Totally!" The Rat King replied, "Move it!" A wave of Rats chased us across the city the Rat King in the lead. "We need to get to the brooklyn bridge!" "There is any army of rats behind us!" Private said. "Get back here flightless birds!" "I don't think so!" I shouted back, "Rico cover our tracks!" Rico hacked up a smoke bomb allowing us to put some distance between us and the rats. "Private if the rats catch up to us yell!" I said. "Too late!" Private said. "You are going down Penguins!" the rat king shouted. Rico hacked up a Rocket launcher and the rats stopped dead in their tracks. "Rats Fall back!" the Rat King said and the rats disappeared into the sewers. We made it to the Brooklyn bridge without incident, "Now I'll just teleport the car over here," I said taking out the Space-Time Teleport.
At a push of a button the car appeared on the sidewalk in front of us. "You couldn't have done that earlier?" Marlene asked. "Just get in," I said. We pailed into the car Rico at the drivers seat. "Rico get us to Hoboken," I said. "Okay," Rico hit the gas and got on the petal to the metal. "Floor it!" Private shouted. The Car rocketed forward and we quickly zoomed across the bridge. "the Hoboken Zoo and Skipper is just a few blocks away," I said. A strange helicopter-like sound filled the air, "Kowalski," Marlene warned, "did you hear that?" "Strange it almost sounded like the Super-plane," Private said. "Foolish Pen-gu-wins..and land mammal This is the Super-plane!" "Stop the car!" I shouted. Rico hit the brakes and we all jumped out and ran as the Super-planes weapons were fired. "You idiots!" Blowhole shouted. "Sorry doc," Red one replied, "but you did get rid of all the chimps." "Blast my oversight," Blowhole muttered, "maximum over-drive!" "It's double banana overdrive!" I shouted back. "Whatever!" Blowhole shouted.
"force field at maximum power! Anti-Dalek weapons and lasers at the ready!" Blowhole shouted, "deploy the banana gun! Fire missiles!" Blowhole was teleporting the Super-Plane all over the place making it impossible to predict where the next attack would come from. "Give up now pen-gu-wins!" Blowhole shouted over the explosions, lasers, and missile fire. Banana's were flying thru the air making it impossible to track the missiles. The Car exploded and Super-plane was mere inches above our heads it's weapons firing away. Rico fired his rocket launcher but it could not penetrate the force field, "Blast," I said, "I made the force field too powerful!" "How long until Blowhole runs out of charge on the teleport," Private asked. "Based on how many times he teleported," I said, "not long…" Sparks flew as a mini explosion rocked the controls in the cockpit, "That's going to need to be repaired."
"Red One what have you done!" Blowhole shouted. "Nothing I just plugged the Space-Time Teleport to the charging port," the lobster replied. "I knew I should have changed the wattage on that thing," I muttered. "And we used up all the missiles," another lobster said. Then to make Blowhole's day worst the lasers shut-down, the banana gun jammed, and the anti-dalek weapons powered down. "Well pen-gu-wins it looks like I have to go Kamakize on you," Blowhole said. "Um what?" Private said. "He's going Sucide pilot!" I shouted. And then the warp-drive malfunctioned and the super-plane warped back in the direction of central park. "I was wondering when the new EODS system I installed would kick in." "the EODS?" "The Enemy operation displacement systems," I explained, "designed to activate the warp-drive at a unexpected time, teleport the enemies that were controlling it a random location, then set the autopilot to fly the Super-plane back to it's home location and land it." "And what happens when It gets to the landing the pad?" marlene asked. "signal the computers of the hanger to lower the platform then close the doors…ensure that the Super-plane is returned to HQ without any enemy in it." "So how does it know if any of our enemies are operating it?" "well Private it's real simple…Because of Science!"
"Um okay?" "I got the idea from the TARDIS's HADS system," I replied. "Real clever Kowalski," Blowhole replied, "But sadly that doesn't save skipper…" "Shouldn't the EODS have teleported them further away?" Marlene replied. "Um…slight glich," I replied, "it always picks Hoboken as the random location for some reason…" "That's isn't very random then," Private snapped. "Um…I'll fix the glich later," I said. "Don't you pen-gu-wins get it there is no later!" Blowhole shouted, "and you won't make it to the Hoboken zoo!" "That's strange we all seem to be in the Hoboken Zoo right now," I said. Blowhole looked at his surrounded in shock, "What how?" he asked. "I use the space-time teleport to teleport us all over here while I had you distracted with the EODS system…" "But there wasn't a flash of bright light," Private said. "I used the new insta-teleport…Instantly teleports us to the location with having to deal with the void." "Wait the flash of light we always see is actually the void?" "Um yes…" "So everytime we teleport we go thru (censored)," Private said. Marlene looked at Private with wide eyes, "did…did he just swear…" "Probably…" I said, "unless he meant Hel the Viking afterlife." "Is that way Pitch Black keeps escaping from there!" "That's the theory," I replied. "It would have been helpful to know that in the third dreamworks war!" Private shouted. "Yeah!" Rico said. Blowhole started to laugh evilly, "Yes! With all of you distracted now I can strike." "What?" we all said.
"MINDBASHER!" "What's the mindbasher?" Private asked. "It knocks you out for a while," Blowhole said before pushing the button. He knocked out Private, Rico, and Marlene with what looked like a boxing glove on a spring. I was the last to get knocked out and with a flash of red everything went black.
