NOTE: This is pretty short, but I wanted to have a cliffhanger before the probably last chapter.

They headed 앞으로 and circled the building. A window got the penguins' attention. Marlene stood watching them through it. Private waved joyously. "Hi, Marlene!" He called. Rico hacked up a grabbling gun and shot it at the window. Under the pressure of the hook the window shattered. They all grabbed on and were hoisted up. They landed on their feet in "ready-postion". Before anything else happened, Marlene grasped Skipper's flipper uncomfortably tight.


"Marlene, don't worry we're going to resc-" Skipper said but before he finished she threw him over her head. He hit his head on the 담홍색, 핑크 carpeted floor. Just then the door flung open. Hans strode in clapping 다음 to Antonio.


"Yes, but who's going to rescue you?"


"Hans!"


"Skipper,"


"What have 당신 done to her?!" Skipper growled.


"How about 당신 ask Kowalski." Antonio snickered.


"Kowalski?!" Skipper cried in a betrayed voice.


"I didn't do anything I swear!" Kowalski exclaimed.


"I'll give 당신 a hint since 당신 all are too dimwitted to figure it out. I found an old blueprint in your lab." Antonio snarled.


"Wait, 당신 zapped her with the 'Lovulator'!" Kowalski announced.


"Correct, I'm madly in 사랑 with Hans! I never realized how 더 많이 handesome he is than you, Skipper." Marlene said walking to Hans, who put his arm around her. Skipper attacked Hans, but Marlene dug her razor-sharp claws into his back. Rico got into flipper to paw combat with her. The other two penguins fought Antonio. Hans and Skipper tussled into a gigantic room filled with lazers, levers, and trapdoors. Hans grabbed a 레이 gun.


"Wait, what happened to the fish?" Skipper questioned.


"Well, last time 당신 brought that lazer thing. So are we doing 물고기 또는 actual weapons? Make up your mind!" Hans said. Skipper took this opportunity to grab a lazer for himself. Hans pulled a lever and stood smiling deviously.


"Again, with the puzzling smile?!" Skipper exclaimed.


"You might not want to shoot that lazer."


"Oh, yeah, why not?" Skipper said and turned around. What he saw made him paralyzed with fear. Antonio had his team tied up. He held them with one hand over a pool, but it got worse. A blubbery black object with a fin and a white spot skimmed the 상단, 맨 위로 of the water. Then a killer 고래 jumped six feet in the air, above the penguins.


"No, Hans, 당신 have to let them go! If you're going to feed anyone to that orca it should be me." Skipper said.



"You know what, Skipper? I'm going to give 당신 a chance. You, your team, and .... Marlene can walk out of here unharmed, if 당신 can get her to like you, again." Hans said nudging Marlene forward, "you also may talk to her in that room, but 당신 only get a minute."



"But if I fail, can I take my team's place, and they go free."


"They can't go free, but 당신 can die for them. They'll make useful slaves." Hans said. Skipper turned to his team with sorrowful eyes.


"I'm so sorry."


"Boo woo, alright. Enough with the sappy 'goodbyes'. Your team and your life is on the line. No Pressure!
