The monster charged at Skipper, with full intent on killing him. Skipper ran between the monster's legs and panted. "Rico!! Gimme all the weapons you have!!" yelled Skipper. Rico nodded his head and threw up all of their guns, knives, and chainsaws, but before Skipper could grab a hold on any of them, the monster slurped up all the weapons, except for a small knife. "Skippah!! We're gonna die!!" yelled Private, screaming and crying. Then, Skipper grabbed Private and smacked him as hard as he could. "Listen Private!! We can do this!! All we need to do is stick together!!" yelled Skipper. "Guys!! Marlene has an idea!!" yelled Private. "Okay, you see those trees over there? Just take them down on tuktok of the monster, that way, we can crush it to death!!" sinabi Marlene. "Good plans Marlene!! ilipat it men!!" yelled Skipper, gesturing Kowalski to knock the monster into the trees. "Got it Skipper!!" yelled Kowalski. Then, Kowalski ran into the trees, the monster chasing him down, but then, Private ran out the other tree, confusing the monster, then, it Nawawala it's footing and rammed into the trees. They soon watched as the trees came down, WAM!! And they crushed the monster, it twitched a bit for 6 madami segundos before falling limp.
"Yes!! We've done it!! sa pamamagitan ng Newton we've done it!!" cheered Kowalski. "Wait!! Where's Julien?!" panicked Marlene. They looked over, and saw an enourmous bird grabbing Julien and flying off. "Help!! This bird has got me and it wants to kill me!!" yelled Julien. "Julien!! Skipper!! We gotta save-" sinabi Kowalski. "No, he'll be fine, remember men, and female otter, if any of us die, but Lord Murdoch is destroyed sa pamamagitan ng one of us, we will all come back to life. But you Kowalski, gotta stay alive, if you die, then our only way out of here, future Kowalski, will cease to exist," sinabi Skipper. "I suppose so then, I regret this so much," sinabi Kowalski, but then Skipper patted his back. "I'm with you in this, we stick together Kowalski, you in?" asked Skipper. "Yes, I'm in then," sinabi Kowalski. "I'm in too!!" cheered Marlene. "Never swim alone my friends, I'm in as well!! You Rico?" sinabi Private. "Woo hoo!!!" shouted Rico, nodding his head. "Then it's settled!! We will destroy the evil Lord Murdoch, then save humanity!!" yelled Skipper. They soon set off to escape the Dark Forest, knowing that they must stay together to survive the challenges ahead.
After a half oras of trekking through the Dark Forest, Marlene saw a signpost that went into two directions: West, or South, and she also saw a figure huddled under the sign. "Approach cautiously Marlene," whispered Skipper. "Uh, hello? Can you tell us which way to go to find Lord Murdoch's estate?" asked Marlene. Soon after, the figure stood up, she was a regular penguin, with a bow, and blue eyes like the penguins's own eyes, and she had a black ribbon around her neck. "So, you've come for Dr. Murdoch then?" asked the figure. "Yes, we have ma'am, and can you tell us who you are and where he is?" asked Skipper. As soon as the figure saw Skipper, she blushed. "I-I-I'm Lilly, pleasure to meet you, sir..." sinabi Lilly, sweating a bit nervously and mostly from how hot it was in her black ribbon. "Is that ribbon too hot for you?" asked Skipper, "Here, let me take it off for you-" "Wait, NO!!!" yelled Lilly, pulling away from Skipper. "Why not? Isn't it bothering you?" asked Private. "Its not really important, honest!!!" screamed Lilly. "What? Some embarassing mark hidden sa pamamagitan ng that ribbon?" asked Skipper. "Yeah, and Lord Murdoch is South," sinabi Lilly. "Oh, why thanks, say, you could sumali us in the journey!!" suggested Kowalski.
Lilly paused a bit, thinking and fiddling with the knot holding her black ribbon. "Hmmm... As long as you don't take off my ribbon while I'm asleep, sure!!" sinabi Lilly cheerfully. "Can we really trust you to sumali us and not desert us till the end?" asked Marlene. "Yeah ya can!! I'm willing to join!!" cheered Lilly. "Alrighty!! Let's go south!!" sinabi Private. And they went off, but Lilly felt slightly uncomfortable, they kept staring at her neck, right where her ribbon is, wondering the same thing: Why would she wear a black ribbon that she refuses to take off?
