…Hey, everyone! This is a dull-eyed, yawning RavenFeathersOfDarkness, and even though it's 10 in the morning, I'm still tired! But never mind that, I've been itching to get this chapter typed up and posted. I've had it written since January, and it was eating away at me all this time.
Okay, I'll dedicate this chapter to a few people: Firstly to penguinsfan123, my new friend on Fanpop, te totally rock!!
Secondly, to Yokai Summoner, thanks so much for reviewing, I just Amore your penname to death!! Boomshakana right back to ya! [Honestly, I didn't know anyone else liked to say that. The first time I heard Kowalski say that it became my preferito phrase!]
And thirdly, to evvie, the autore of Living in Oblivion, for a different kind of spin on one of my preferito pairings.
Also, I'd like to add a special dedication to Spottedpaw13. Thanks eternally for dedicating that chapter to me, it totally made my morning! You're an awesome writer too!!
All right, before I start rambling on about something unimportant, here's Chapter 4!!
***********Chapter 4: Two Birds with One Stone**************
[This scene is happening around the time Kowalski's giving his results of Ravena's psych screening]
Dr. Blowhole swam around in his tank before looking at the pinguino in front of him.
"..We need a new plan," the pinguino finally said.
Dr. Blowhole sneered. "That is evident, Jack," he replied shortly. "It appears Skipper and his team are greater adversaries than we thought."
"I agree. We send in one of our best agents to get to Skipper, and she ends up defecting and helping him escape." The penguin, named Jack, thought hard. "Maybe we've been looking at this the wrong way."
Dr. Blowhole stopped swimming and focused on his second-in-command, his finest agent. "Explain."
"All this time we've formed our plans with our primary focus on first taking down Skipper, then the rest of his team."
"Yes…"
"Maybe we need to reverse that focus. Maybe we need to start going after the members of Skipper's team, so that when we seek to take him down, he won't have any backup."
"Hmmm…" Dr. Blowhole's black eyes glittered. "That's not a bad idea…not a bad idea at all…After all, Skipper is a team player, so it would be hard for him to play without any team…"
Jack smiled. "Exactly. Now the domanda is, who do we go after first, and how do we go after him without the others noticing?"
Dr. Blowhole paused. "Well, first off, we need to take down the one who'd be able to come up with a plan if another went missing…someone who'd be smart enough to find the smallest clue and track us down on that."
He looked down. "Turn on the cameras. I've got it."
Jack picked up a remote control and pressed a red button. Suddenly the bacheca opposite him opened up to reveal a wide stretch of camera screens, all mostrare inside, outside and around the penguins' habitat.
"Over here," the delfino said, pointing to a camera on the far right. It showed two penguins standing near a table. One pinguino was holding two glass tubes and looking nothing short of irritated, glaring at the other who was smiling sheepishly, her flippers up in a surrendering position. She was saying "Sorry" over and over. Jack's eyes narrowed.
Dr. Blowhole smiled, and gestured toward the obviously annoyed penguin. "We're going after him. His name's Kowalski. He was the one who got to Agent Songbird and was able to use her information to track down Skipper and find us. He's our guy."
"You sure?" Jack's voice had a strange sharpness to it.
"Definitely. He's Skipper's lieutenant, his strategy guy. The one who comes up with all the options. I figure if we take away Skipper's options, we take away most of his chances at retaliation."
"Sounds like a plan to me,' Jack approved, his eyes still glued to the screen.
Dr. Blowhole followed his gaze, to the smiling female pinguino successivo to Kowalski. "Hm..I don't remember seeing her around their headquarters before."
Jack just frowned harder, getting his superior's attention. "…What's wrong?"
Jack pointed his flipper at the screen. "Her. te don't remember who she is?"
Dr. Blowhole narrowed his eyes in concentration. Then he grinned. "Oh…I remember her now. I wonder why it took me so long—after all, we spent so much time tracking her down as well."
"Ravena." Jack spat her name out like it was choking him. "Her name is Ravena. But te knew her as the future Agent Blackbird."
"Yes…she was very special, wasn't she? She would have made quite an addition to our team…That fact that she's managed to hide form us up until now proves that. But it seems like she's joined Skipper's team…Yet another loss to my enemy…" Dr. Blowhole finished in a deadly quiet voice.
'We could get her back."
"What?"
"We could get her back," Jack replied. "And get this Kowalski guy too…That would make things pretty even, wouldn't it?"
Dr. Blowhole analyzed his agent carefully before smirking. "Yes…that does sound promising…Not that I'd stop at being even, of course. I take one of Skipper's men down…and te can have your girl back. Although I don't think she'd be very happy to see te again…."
"She's not my girl!" Jack nearly shouted. "All that matters is that we have a plan now."
Dr. Blow hole chuckled darkly. "We do have a plan, don't we? Now all we need to do is put that plan into action."
Let me start out with a simple quote: "Are te as totally stoked about this as I am?!"
…Probably not, but I've really gotten into Scrivere this story now, and seeing as this is the last chapter I've written out, now I can just let the rest flow, and that's how I like to write.
Also, once again I'd like to explain a few things. Yes, I've created yet another OC. When will the madness end, te ask? Well, I've got one più OC, but she won't be introduced until…well, not anywhere in this story. But she will mostra up in one of my stories, following the same plot line as this one.
Also, in my "Operations" series, the whole Operation: Blowhole thing never happened. [I did watch it, though, and I loved it!] My version of Blowhole is a lot più sinister than the actual version, and you'd be surprised at some of the things he does later on. And if you're wondering why he has a pinguino as his right-hand man, it's a long story which will probably be revealed partly in the successivo chapter, and più fully in the successivo story.
All right, as for a summary of Chapter 5, I realized that I never actually wrote about what I was going to in Chapter 2, I think it was, which was the reason why Ravena arrived at the zoo, so that's gonna be the topic of Chapter 5. Sorry these chapters are so short, this chapter took up four pages in my notebook, but I made some revisions while I was typing.
Thanks a million for reviewing, everyone, and I'm totally open to any consigli on how to make my chapters better. Sayonara for now! ^^
