YAY another chapter! AND,it is the longest for this story, thus far. ENJOY! OR ELSE!

The group climbed out of the hatch to see they still had another mile before they would be at the shore. "The sub can't make the journey, but it's probably for the better. He may have radar that can pick up that big thing. Let's swim ashore."

"Um, I can't swim and I also don't have any of the magic dust to fly."

"Alright. Hunter, carry her on your back."

"WHAT!? I am not climbing on her back."

"Look, we can't drive the sub to the shore, we can't just leave you here with it because who knows when more torpedoes will come and the ocean could move you quite a distance away from here and then we may never find you again. so, since you can't fly or swim, you'll have to ride on her back."

"Don't worry. I don't bite anything unless it's a fish or squid."

The sub was suddenly hit by another torpedo. "Okay, get in the water and swim if you wanna live. Cupid, the only way for you to live is to get on Hunter's back! Now, let's move!" DB jumped in the water, only to have Striker jump on top of him. "Uh, mind telling me what you're doing?"

"My fur can't drain water and I can't handle cold like you guys can so you're going to have to carry me so I don't get hypothermia."

"Fine." DB began swimming as fast as he could with everyone else following close behind, except Hunter and Cupid.

Hunter was sitting in the water, waiting for Cupid to get on. "Come on! We don't have much time! The sub is now sinking and getting shot by more torpedoes! You have to jump on my back!"

"Alright. Just don't go under."

"Promise." Cupid jumped on and hunter began swimming as fast as she could towards the shore, but torpedoes were still shooting at her, and she was just barely dodging. "Hey, i'm gonna have to submerge if you want me to survive those torpedoes."

"No!"

Hunter was just about to say something, but Private ran into her, knocking her out of the way of another torpedo. "Come on!" The two were swiming as fast as they could.

DB realized they wouldn't make it, so he stopped and stopped Rico. "Rico, carry him to the shore and give me that weapon I made you." Rico hacked up the weapon, Striker catching it. He then climbed onto Rico's back and tossed the weapon to DB, who put it on his back, then swam to the group.

"Where the duece is he going?"

"He's going to protect Cupid, Private, and Hunter."

"Oh, I hope he's going to be okay."

"don't worry, Mama Duck, DB's gonna get them here along with himself."

DB jumped onto Hunter's back and took the weapon on his back and aimed into the water and started shooting at the torpedoes. "What are you doing!?"

"Saving your butts by destroying these stupid torpedoes." He fired a few times before he continued. "Now, if you'd rather taking your chances with Hunter dodging, be my guest."

Private jumped onto Hunter's back. "I think we'd all feel safer with you destroying them."

"Yes. She does do a terrible job at it."

"Hey, if you'd let me dive under, I could!"

"GIRLS! Stop fighting or I'll let you fend for yourselves!" They shut up. "Thank you."

The group finally made it to the shore. "Okay, first things first. We find out where in Antarctica we are."

Striker brought out a GPS. "Hm, looks like we're near Adelie Land." (A/N: That is an actual place in Antarctica, not just a name they used for the 'Happy Feet' movies.)

"Huh. I hear it's nice this time of day for this time of year. For Antarctica, that is. So where is Blowhole's lair?"

"Well, let's switch to real time maps, and, if it's above ground, we'll be able to see it." Striker began pressing buttons. "Hm. Well, it isn't above ground, but I can tell where it is. It is...in Coats Land, which is all the way across this frozen wasteland."

"Rico, got any coats for those that aren't used to the cold?"

Rico hacked up coats for each of them except Hunter. "Um, you guys are penguins, so you should be able to handle it."

"Well, yes, but extra warmth never hurts. We also usually share warmth with others."

"Then, there is also night, which is colder than what we are use to, so we will need the extra clothes."

"Anyways, we can go in a straight line to the place we need to. Too bad we have a long way to travel. I was hoping for an easy trip. Guess I was hoping for too much."

"When you deal with Blowhole, never expect easy."

DB then mumbled under his breath, "You have no idea." He then spoke up. "Let's get to trekkin'!" He then slid forward, followed by everyone else. "We got a few thousand miles to cover."

Striker then got an idea. "EVERYONE WAIT!" They all stopped and turned to him. "Rico, got a sled in there, or anything that could be used as a sled?" Rico hacked up a sled big enough for even Hunter. Striker gave him a confused look. "How you even got something that big in there, I don't even want to know. now, hack up a few flamethrowers." He hacked up four. "Great. Everyone on. Me, DB, Rico, and Skipper will use the flamethrowers to give us some speed to make it quicker."

"Kowalski, why didn't you think of that?"

"Honestly, I didn't think Rico had anything like the sled with him."

"Even if he didn't, we could have used some stuff to get one made." Skipper then smacked Kowalski. "Let's go." They all climbed on and they were nakibg some good time.

One hour later

"Hey, Striker, where are we."

"Rico, stop firing." Rico nodded, and both Striker and Rico stopped. Striker piked up his GPS and looked at it. "We're just about halfway across."

"Great, so about an hour thirty minutes and fiftenn seconds after I'm done with this sentence, we should have Blowhole defeated and the leopard seals free. Unless an unexpected thing happens."

One hour, twenty minutes later

The group is all locked in separate cages."Does this count as an 'unexpected thing' Mr. Exact Timing!?"

"We still got nine minutes and forty-five seconds after I'm done talking before my time limit is up. And, i actually did expect this."

"Even Rico having his beak tied shut?"

"Yep."

"Even you and Striker being put in electrical cages that give you a shock every five minutes?" A shock was sent into DB's body.

"Yep."

"Even Kowalski-"

DB cut him off. "I expected every last detail. Except the leopard seals having mind control helmets and them putting one on Hunter. But, I'm not bothered by the shock, so..." DB pulled out his chigiriki and threw it at Kowalski's soundproof container, breaking it. He then brought out his bow and arrow and said, "Rico, turn to the side so I can cut the rope. I promise I won't miss." Rico turned, and was shaking from nervousness. DB shot and the arrow cut through the ropes easily. Rico fainted. DB then took his bo and threw it onto Rico's stomach, making him cough up his chain whip. "Striker, think you can reach that rope?"

Striker reached for it, but was alittl short. "Not quite." DB tossed him his katana. Striker was able to get the rope. He tossed it to DB, who used it to get his chain whip. He then used it to bring his cage closer to Rico's. When they were securely tied together, he used his cahin whipe to rip the cords enough to send an early shock to the cage, which also shocked Rico's, waking him up. DB then cut the rops. "Great. Now what?"

"Kowalski, options!" DB and Skipper looked at each other. DB held his flippers up and said, "Your team."

"Hm. DB, shoot an aroow at everyone's cage's wire and Rico cough a pillow under everyone's cage." Rico did as he was told, as did DB. They all landed. Kowlaksi walked out of his. "Now, give me something a paperclip." Rico coughed it up, and Kowalski turned it into a key and unlocked everyone's cage.

"Hey, think you can get me down now?" Striker threw the katana, cutting the wire. Rico quickly coughed up a pillow under it, or so he thought. It was a little left of where it needed to be. DB got up and simply pulled the bars far enough apart to get out. "Next time, cough it a little farther than you think it should be. Or more covering a bigger area."

"O'ay."

"We still have four minutes, so get to the controls for the helmets."

"Right!" The group headed off for the control room, only to be met by a group of lobsters.

DB spotted his katana. "Help me get to my katana and I can fend off the lobsters for you." He pointed to it, and Rico just threw him next to it. "Thanks." Rico nodded. DB then knocked the group away. Striker was also fighting. "Go with them!"

"You crazy? There's too many for you to take by yourself!"

"Come on. Just go!" He then whispered, "Besides, do you really think he'd take out his own mole?"

"Good point." Striker lept over the lobsters to the group and the headed towards the control room.

That is until the voice boomed through the base, "Chrome Claw!"

"Not this again." The wall opened to reveal the beast.

"I'll distract it. You guys just get to the control room." The others began running off and Striker yelled at Chrome Claw, "Hey, big, dumb, and ugly! Can't get me!" He then stuck his tounge out at it. It rawred and threw it's metal claw down and Striker dodged it. "Distract the monstrosity, check. Defeat the monster, no check." He dodged another strike. "Being so scared I might wet myself, triple check." The next strike, he jumped onto the claw, which just happend to be the non-metal one. "HA! You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!" He was then threw off and dodged a foot, that destroyed a vehicle he had landed on. "But you could step on it to destroy it." He ran under the legs, which it lokked under it and tried to follow, only to fall. "Man this thing is stupid." The big lobster let out another rawr and Striker gave out a fake rawr. He dodged another strike. "But, it's also angry. not good."

The group of animals were about to the lab, when some mind controlled leopard seals got in there way. The penguins all screamed. Cupid tried to kick one, but it had no effect. The helmets beeped and the leopard seals charged. The only one that stood their ground was Private. He jumped over the seals and ran over them into the control room. He was just about to close it, when Cupid lept through. The door closed, and out of nowhere, Mama Duck fell out of the vents. "Sorry, i know you told me to wait outside, but there were lobsters that attacked, so I tried finding a place to hide. I guess I just came into the worst place possible."

The screen flicked on and Blowhole was there. "Yes you have. you and that pengyouin."

"i'm gonna stop you!"

"How? You don't know what any of those buttons do."

"No, but, I bet if I start to randomely pressing them, it will do something."

"Yes, but you'll have to take out the final wall of defense to start." A wall lifted up, and Hunter was there with the mind control helmet. "Have fun." Blowhole started his evil laugh and Hunter charged at Private. The group dodged.

"HUNTAH! You need to stop doing this." She attacked again. Cupid tried kicking her, but She was only pushed a little distance before she struck again, knocking Cupid onto the ground. Private jumped in between Hunter and Cupid. "Huntah! Stop this. Please."

Hunter blinked a few times. "Private?" She then let out a yell of pain.

"You listen to me!"

"I listen to Blowhole." Her voice was like a robot's.

"Hunter, i know you can hear me! Fight his control!"

Hunter blinked then lowered her head in pain. "Private, I-I can't keep control!"

"yes you can! You can fight it!" Hunter began screaming in pain. "Fight it! You can do it Huntah, i believe in you!" The helmet started to crack. But, Hunter than stopped fighting and hit Private away. He was now in a vent.

"PRIVATE!" Mama duck flew up and pulled him out and they both landed on the ground. Hunter was about to strike Mama Duck, but Private jumped in the way, taking the hit instead.

He looked like he was dead. Hunter blinked her eyes a few times. "PRIVATE!" She went up to him. "Private! Are you okay?"

"Listen to me!" Blowhole was furiously pressing a button on his segway, but it just ended up destroying her helmet. "Uh oh."

Hunter turned towards the screen with fury. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" She then went up to the control and started pressing buttons. The first shot lasers at Chrome Claw, distracting it from Striker, who took some cable and wrapped up it's legs, finally pulling tight, making it trip. He then delivered a final blow to the head with a truck, knocking it out. Hunter continued pressing the buttons, which eventually led to the leopard seals helmets turning off.

"Kowalski, begin removing proccess."

"Yes sir." He got to work on the helmets

Though, he couldn't work long before Hunter hit the right combination of buttons and the voice said, "Base self-destruct in one minute."

The lobsters all started running. "Helmet extraction will have to wait, let's go! Follow us if you want to live, leopard seals!" The penguins began leading the way. Striker soon joined them. DB, though went to the control room, getting there as soon as the others burst through.

"Come on! Follow me!" He led them all towards the exit.

Cupid noticed a way to keep Hunter in the base while it exploded. She grabbed a wrench and threw it at a loose piece of metal, which landed on Hunter's tail. "AHH! I'm stuck!"

DB turned around and put Private on Cupid's back. "I'm gonna help her!"

"But, you won't make it!"

"But hopefully, she will. GO! And that's final!" Cupid nodded and left. DB wnet and pushed as hard as he could to move the metal, but it wouldn't move.

"Just leave me! Save yourself!"

"No one gets left behind!"

The voice boomed, "T minus twenty seconds to destruction!"

"get out of here!"

Blowhole even screamed through the earpiece, "GET OUT OF THERE!"

"No one gets left behind." He looked quickly and noticed a truck. He quickly drove it to hit the metal, freeing Hunter. "Get in." Hunter quickly climbed in and DB floored it to the exit.

Outside, everyone else had made it. "Where's DB? And Hunter?"

"A piece of metal somehow fell onto Hunter's tail and DB is trying to free her."

"he's not going to make it! We're going to lose two people at once."

DB was close to the exit. He smiled, until the base counted, "Five, four, three, two, one goodbye."

It exploded in a fiery burst. Everyone turned away. Striker fell to hs knees. "He's gone."

Hunter's dad lowered his head. "My little darling is gone."

"He was a great soldier. I'll never forget him."

Cupid had a small smile, while pretending to cry while the three penguins did cry. A truck fell out of the sky, landing behind them, getting their attention. DB stumbled out, did an awkward salute with the right flipper and said, "Private duty, reporting for Sir DB."

Everyone yelled, "DB! YOU'RE ALIVE!"

"Either that or we're all dead." When everyone gave him a hug. He winced and said, "Nope. not dead."

Hunter then climbed out. "Hi."

"HUNTER!" Her dad came up to her and said, "I was so worried."

"I'm fine daddy." She then went up to where they had Private sitting. "Is he going to be okay?"

"He should be."

"You caused it to him!"

"I'm so sorry. i never would have done it if I didn't have that helmet on me."

"Sure. You were letting out your instincts to eat penguins!"

"CUPID!" Everyone turned to DB and backed away, because he was obviously angry. "SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS DOING! SHE WAS UNDER THE CONTROL OF THAT STUPID CRAZY DOLPHIN! IF SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING, SHE WOULD HAVE TRIED TO HELP US, NOT HURT US!IF YOU REALLY CARED ABOUT PRIVATE, YOU WOULDN'T BE WORRYING ABOUT HWOSE FAULT IT WAS, BUT YOU WOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS GOING TO WAKE UP!" DB was in such a rage with everyone watching him that they didn't notice Private waking up. "I SUGGEST YOU APOLOGIZE TO HUNTER FOR BLAIMNG HER FOR WHAT BLOWHOLE DID AND I SUGGEST YOU DO IT NOW!"

Cupid walked up to Hunter. "i'm...sorry for blaming you."

Everyone then heard Private groan. "What did I miss?"

"PRIVATE!" He was hugged by the other penguins, Marlene, Striker, and the three girls.

Once they released, DB frowned and said,"Worst part of this whole thing is that I was five seconds off from being correct on how long it would take."

"But, you weren't expecting the leopard seals to have those mind control helmets."

"I guess you're right."

"Besides," Kowalski continued where Striker left off, "it's only five seconds, so that's very good."

Everyone nodded. "Not for me!" Everyone except Striker stared at him in shock. "I'm much more accurate than that!"

"Ya, when we got separated, he was usually only off by two seconds at the most."

"And, I got to where I was off by only a small fraction of a second! This is terrible!"

"You almost die, and you're more worried about how close you are to timing it correctly?" DB nodded. "Did I miss something?"

"Yes, Marlene, you did. i've had so monay near death experiences that I'm not even worried about it any more." Everyone chuckled as they went to the leopard seals' home for a feast.
