The penguins and the macaw family are at the docks where the ferry will take them back to New York City, but Kowalski is still unconscious.

Skipper takes a deep breath "I appreciate your hospitality, Blu. And it was good serving with you." Skipper looks at his team "21 FISH, salute!" the penguin team together with Marlene salutes at the macaw family "Attention!" the penguins lowers their flipper

Blu chuckled "I think I also owe, you guys, as well."

Jewel stepped foreward "It's because, you guys, got our sweet daughter back safe."

Skipper smiled "It was a pleasure, ma'am."

"uhm, mama?" Jewel looks at Maria "Can I go and say good-bye to Gladius?" Jewel smiled and nodded

Maria starts to walk towards Gladius, Gldius took a deep breath and looks at Skipper and Marlene and back at Maria "So, this is it, huh?"

Maria giggled and blinks her eyes "Yeah, this is it. I just wanted to say that you were a great companion."

Gladius nods "You too, Maria. A sweet bird with the heart of a hawk."

Blu smiled and tries not to laugh "She got that from me."

Jewel stepped on his foot "Sssshhhhh!"

Both owl and macaw chuckled as they saw the sight. The team soon hears the loud horn of the boat, Gladius knew that it's time to take their separate ways "This is good-bye, Maria."

Maria nodded "Good-bye, Gladius."both birds wrapped their wings to each other "Oh, and Gladius, here's a little something for your trip home." Maria pulled Gladius closer until their beaks meet, forming a kiss

Skipper widened his eyes "That was... a little unexpected."

Both birds parted and took a deep breath "You're one good kisser, loco." Maria giggled

Gladius just smirked after they parted "I promise I'll come visit you if I got the time."

Maria nods "Better be back soon."

Skipper and the others bid their farewell to their friends in Rio. Skipper just sat there, watching his motionless liuetenant while holding his locket. He opened Kowalski's locket and looks at the picture of Kowalski's daughter, he then soon closes it and looks at his team.

Private looks at Skipper while eating a can of tuna "What's the op, Skipper?"

Skipper sighed and rubs his forehead "We track Blowhole and put an end to his madness." Skipper stands up and hides the locket "Kowalski would be lucky if he survives this. But I will not let this pass. We almost lost one of our own." he points at Kowalski with rage blinding him "I'm declaring code: Delta-Tango-Bravo!"

Private and Rico gasp, Private raises his flipper with his eyes filled with concern "Does that mean..." Private swallows a tuna before continuing "lethal force is approved?"

Skipper nods "Correcto mundo, Private. Lethal force is authorize. Once we get home, I want our lethal weapons armory unlocked."

Rico raises his flipper "But those weapons has already gathered dust and stuff, and are the ammunitions still that reliable after not getting touched for six years?"

Skipper smirked "Of course, Rico, all it needs is a bit of elbow grease and lots of spit."

Marlene almost chocked from the tuna she was eating "You're gonna go in and kill him?"

Skipper nods "Affirmative."

Marlene stands up and puts a paw on Skipper's back "But, Skipper, you do know what they say about revenge, right?"

Private cleared his throat "Before you start your journey of revenge, you better dig two graves."

"One for Blowhole and one for Hans!" Skipper rolled his flipper into a fist and punches the wall

Marlene rolled her eyes and grabs Skipper "That not what he means, Skipper!* Marlene looks down as she holds onto Skipper's chest "I-I don't want to lose you."

Gladius also nodded "Yeah, dad." he walked towards Marlene and Skipper and hags hem "I love you, mom and dad."

Skipper pats Gladius' back and wipes a tear off Marlene's face with his other flipper "Trust me, I won't leave the two of you."

They finally got home and back in the Central Park Zoo. Skipper wished that everything that happened in Rio was just a dream, but it wasn't a dream. It was real. While the entire team was asleep, he took the elevator to the lower levels that takes him to the armory. He inputs his serial number to gain access. The door opens and reveals a buffet of miniturized weapons that the humans use in modern wars. He grabs a modernized 1911 pistol and cleans it. He opens another door that leads to a firing range.

Skipper puts in a fresh seven round magazine and racks the slide "You're dead, Blowhole!" he pulls the trigger and all seven shots landed on the target paper's head
