This is set a few weeks after the prolouge.
Chapter One: And keep your enemies closer...
4:45
The Penguins were employing adorbable hi-jinks. The people were loving it, and peixe rained down from the sky. But soon, the crowd dispered.
5:00
Alice had locked up, the only lights left were from the setting sun.
" Ah, closing time. Good job today men!" Skipper said as he waved to the last of the zoo-goers.
" Yes, we produced a plethera of petrifyingly collasal cuteness." Kowalksi announced as he worked on his abacus. " In fact, I would say that it was over..." He gasped. " Nine thousand!"
" What, nine-thousand!" Private exclaimed. " That's ..."
But before he could finish his thought, he was slapped por a flying fish, or mais accurately, a tossed fish.
" What the deuce?" Skipper exclaimed. Feeding time was over the day, and Alice wasn't one for treats. But across the rail gaurding their habitat stood not alice, but a tall man in Zoo uniform, an eyepatch, and one dark obsidian eye that seemed strangely shadowed, as if he had little sleep.He had a square jaw and round face topped with a messy mass of dirty blonde hair. He had with him a janitor carrinho filled to the brim with cleaning supplies.
" I know, I know, it's not feeding time. But You just can't waste good peixe like that." The man said in an all to familiar voice. But it couldn't be! They left him to be intergrated into human society, or whatever gobblty-gook Kowalksi had said.
Alice approuched him. " All right, Boo."
" It's Beau."
" Whatever. You better do a good job. I wouldn't have hired you if my sister hadn't begged me to give ya' a job. So, no funny business."
He rolled his eye at the crabby woman.
" Sure, no fu-u-unny business. Just the boring kind. Pick up trash, watch the new survallence cameras, blah blah blah, I got it. Even a prebubescent juvenile could perform these meager tasks."
Alice shook her head and mumbled something about " getting all the freaks", but called back as she left the zoo.
" And keep an eye on those penguins. They're tricky!"
" Believe me, it's my life's highest prioity."
He said not without sarcasm. Finally, the crabby woman left him in peace.
" Now, to get to work. Let's see." He pulled out a zoo map/work schedule and stared at it intently. " Oh great. Drain water in pen-gu-in habitat and scrub down, wonderful."
" Did you hear that! He said "penguins" that way. It must be...!" Private ended his sentence with a grimace of fear.
Suddenly, "Beau" shook his head and cleaned his ear.
" Is, is somebody there?"
" Oh great, not only has my employed himself in my home, he's ten times crazier than usual."
Beau slowly looked up from his map and stared at skippper with his one eye widened and mouth agape.
" T-talk...talking..talking animals." He hit himself with his hand a few times. " take it easy Beau. This just must be a side affect from the amnesia. animais don't talk."
" uhwhaaat?" Rico exclaimed. Kowalksi shrugged.
Beau stared.
" Stop doing that!" He said as he pointed an accusing finger at the water fowl. Rico blew a framboesa at him.
" He can hear us!" Private exclaimed.
" Rico, neutralize the situation!"
Rico spewed a dart that flew right into Beau's neck.
" OW! Hey, you ..could poke...an...eye...out...with..that..."
The world spinned, then darkness.
...
He awoke in a large concrete room, with a flashlight in his face.
" All right, we know who you are and it's time to..."
" Really?!" Beau responded, jumping up and finding the flashlight-weilding pinguim on his shoulder." Well, I would like to know that particular information, even if it does come from a fragmentation of my deranged mind. I'm pretty sure I've lo-o-ost it now."
" Uh...Kowalski?"
" I think I can explain..." and began whispering to Skipper.
Suddenly, a series of notes and the phrase " it will be extremely lame" flashed into his mind. It wasn't a very nice thing to say, even to the products of his broken mind, so he kept it to himself.
Kowalski " And so he should not be, er, harmful. In fact, it's a new slate. He could be y'know, decent now.
Private clapped his flippers. " Oh goody! He could learn to be a good guy and use his talents for bettering the whole world!"
" Sure, private, then he'll jump on his flying unicorn and spread super-sunshine sparkling happiness an rainbows wherever he goes. This is just like with Hans, except the amnesia...the point is, Evil is Evil. And that bottlenose, even as a...er...what kind of nose is that?"
" I'd say a modified Roman-large but not overwheliming dispraportionate, Skipper." Kowalksi responded.
" Whatever! Bad is bad, and he's pure evil. And evil must be dealt with!"
Rico nodded and barfed up a chain saw and revved it while he laughed maniacally.
" Um, excuse me, psycho peng-u-ins?" Beau said flatly.
" What Hu-MAH-en." Kowalski snapped.
" Well, that's rude." He responded with an eye roll.
" So is butchering the name of our species. " Kowalksi retorted.
Beau frowned Look,I'm sorry to offend. Even if you are just products of my own crazed mind." he added quickly, as if stiff trying to convince himself.
Kowalksi gasped loudly.
Skipper nearly had a coração attack on the spot. Priate smiled to himself, anyone can change! Just like Princess self-respectra said.
Rico sighed. Now when else was he gonna get a chance to use it? He only got it use his happy chainsaw time as threat now a days.
" I am wondering how on earth you got me in here..." Beau mused,, sensing the need for a subject change.
" Classified. Now, Listen up Night-watch. I've got both eye's on you, so no funny business. Especially the evil kind. "
" Ri-i-i-ight. So, can I get back to work now? I'm supposed to go through and clean all the habitats and it isn't going to be pretty. So I would appreciate being brought back up to...oh great"
He was hit again with the dart. " Really, really is that necessary?" He said with a drawl as he passed out yet again.
" Yes. Yes it is."
