HELLO PEOPLE OF EARTH WHO HAVE INTERNET ACCESS! Here is a brand new chapter for you! ENJOY OR DIE! Wait, no, don't die. I'd still need you as a viewer, if you come back just to see if it improves or if you like some of my other stories.
The next day, DB and Striker were at the docks for the entire day. At noon, they took a break. "Well, if i had known you were going to be helping, I would have said an earlier time. We're going to be done at one."
"Well, I thought it would be nice to be here in case Blowhole contacted you. That way, I would be able to know the intel that you recieved."
"Ya. Well, let's get back to this. You finish the armor plating, I'll begin work on the wiring that's left."
"Got it." The two got back to work.
an hour later
The penguin and badger smiled at their completed work. "That is one beauty."
"Yes it is. Let's head back to the zoo."
"Wait. What if someone sees it. It isn't exactly undetectable, ya know."
"I know. That's why I have this remote, allowing us to control it from outside." DB pressed a button and it submerged.
"Cool."
DB then stopped and put his flipper to his ear piece. "I'll let you have this once we're done with it...Alright. Talk to you later."
"You're giving this to Blowhole later?"
"Yep."
"Don't want to?"
"Nope."
"Let's head back to the zoo." The two then got into the penguins' car and headed towards the zoo.
zoo
The two came in with amazing speeds and made Rico look like a responsible driver. The skidded to a stop in the garage and turned it off. They left and closed the garage before heading to their respective habitats. When DB lept into the habitat, his attention was mmediately turned towards Skipper. "What are you doing back so soon?"
"Well, Johnathan came by and helped me."
"Are you sure he wasn't there sabatoging the whole thing?"
"I made sure to quadrupel check everything after we were done. To make you happy, I'll even check it right before we leave. Are we having the same departure time?"
"Yes."
"Good."
"Now, I have a question. Why do you call him by both his names at different times?"
"Well, I usually call him Johnathan when it is not related to missions and Striker when it is related to missions, since his codename is Striker, as I said when he first arrived."
"Alright then. Just make sure you're ready to leave at 1930 hours."
"No problem."
Docks, departure time
DB finished his inspection of the vessel. "All clear, Skipper."
"Good. Everyone, on board." The group boarded on the vessel. Everyone went slack-jawed once they entered the submarine. It made a super-computer look like an old pac-man game system.
"Nice, huh?"
"This is incredible."
DB went up to the controls and they began to submerge. "Alright, Rico, since you love weapons, you'll have control of all our forward guns." DB pointed to a set of controls and Rico was all over it.
"Wait a second, I'm the leader of this team, so-"
"Yes, but it is my submarine. So, you'll follow my orders while we're in it. Once we're in your submarine, you can give the orders. Until then, just shut your beak and let me give the orders!" Everyone stared wide-eyed at DB. They never seen him this aggressive. "Kowalski, man the radar." Kowalski did what he said without question. "Striker, check the compass." Stiker went to it and looked at it.
"We're headed in the right direction, captain."
"Very good. Skipper, man the periscope."
"But, we aren't even at periscope depth."
"no, but we still need constant observation on the ocean and this thing can't keep the holographic screen up all the time. It is a real power hog when we do that. It will only be used in emergency situations. So, just do as I say."
Skipper looked through the periscope, which was at his seat and looked through. "Ship on our twelve, change course by at least two degrees west or east." DB turned the wheel slightly and Skipper watched closely, moving slightly as they moved. "Crisis avoided." He turned back forward.
"Increasing speed to thirty-five knots." He pushed forward on a lever and they felt the increase in speed.
an hour later
They had been cruising for a while, when they began hearing a thumping sound from underneath them. DB pressed the combination on the keypad, and they found a Marlene tied up with kelp. "how did you get down there? I'm the only one that knows that combination."
DB removed the kelp from her mouth. "Lobsters knocked me out. I'm not sure how they opened that, but I just know that's where I woke up at."
"Guess I should check the other secret compartments. Private! Take control of the wheel." Private immediately took DB's previous position.
"Wait. Why is DB giving the orders instead of Skipper?"
Kowalski leaned in and whispered, "He seems a bit irritable right now, so we aren't taking any chances of him snapping on us like he did to Skipper."
"WHAT WAS THAT!?"
"NOTHING!"
"LIES!" DB tackled Kowalski to the ground. "I'm gonna have you keelhauled!"
"DB! Just calm down, alright. I know it's a little stressful for you right now, but you need to calm down."
DB got off of Kowalski. "I'm going to the head." DB entered a room.
"What's the head?"
"The bathroom." Striker wlaked into that same room. DB was just leaning his head against the wall of the small room. "Is this place sound proof?"
"Of course. I knew we'd need a place to talk privately and I also didn't want anyone to be embaressed about any 'special treats' they may have to leave at some point. Lock the door."
Striker did as he said. "Look, I know it is stressful with the whole situation. I mean, attacking a base of operations owned by someone you're being forced to work for, your strength decreasing everyday, having to build a submarine form scratch, and then having to force people into love."
"I don't really force them into love. I just give a gentle shove towards where I know their hearts lay. But, Private's is going to be all Private, him having to choose from three and two of them being here." He paused and put his flipper onto the earpiece. "Great. Things are even more stressful now. Blowhole just told me that Mama duck is in here and also trapped."
"Why exactly did he trap Marlene here?"
"My guess, to distract Skipper some so that he could more easily take him out. Mama duck, most likely for the same reason for Private, or to give each girl a chance." He paused again. He sighed. "Blowhole. You are an idiot. It would have been an easier desicion for Private if it was just two because he would have to break one less heart! He does not like to hurt people!" DB sighed again. He began rubbing his temples. "I'm getting one major headache right now." He pressed a button and took a couple pills that came out. "Need the asprin." He sighed and continued rubbing his temples. "Here's the plan. I'm gonna free mama duck, then go to bed."
"Alright." The two walked out, and all eyes went towards them.
DB pressed buttons on another keypad, and out came mama duck. "I'm so sorry. But, one of my ducklings left the nest and I was looking for them. I thought I had seen them come in here, but when I entered, I was shoved into that room. Thank you for freeing me."
"All these extra members are really driving my nerves. i'm gonna go to bed." DB went to the wall and pressed a button. A bed popped out. He climbed on and pressed the button again, putting his bed back in. He then said through the wall, "There's a bed for everyone. Hunter's comes up form the floor, as will Cupid's." Then, silence filled the submarine.
I know. Not much happening except DB having a slight breakdown. But, he has been under a lot of stress lately. I promise more happening next chapter. Now, more things. REALLY!? No one has voted on the poll since last chapter AND I still have no one taking the story idea! I really don't want to have to ask people personally to take it, but, if by the end of this, no one has taken it, I will begin asking people personally to take it. PLEASE someone take the story! I have no inspiration for it! Just PM me! I'm keeping the offer up, but if I have to start asking people personally, the offer is out the window, as in good bye, see ya never again, been nice knowin' ya. If this series is gonna get done, it needs to be done. I'm still keeping the promise of a funny one-shot for after it is done. Well, that's done. Please vote.
