User blog:1joshuarules/The 1joshuarules Adventures - Operation: Blackout

Greetings. If you are reading this, then you are one out of a few penguins that have access to one of most important stories ever - how I, 1joshuarules, and my team saved Club Penguin, in a story I like to call Operation: Blackout. . . When I woke up, I thought it was still the middle of the night, because the sky was dark and gloomy. Feeling that there was something odd going on, I quickly pulled out my wristwatch from my inventory, only to find that it was 11:30am Penguin Standard Time. I quickly leaped from my seat, with one question on my mind: Why was it still so dark out? I figured that the new issue of the Club Penguin Times could possibly shed a little light on the subject, so I waddled over to the newspaper stand that I had set in my igloo for times like these. I grabbed the first issue on the top, only to find a surprise - this wasn't the Club Penguin Times, this was the Club Herbert Times! With an uneasy feeling, I read the title: 'Club Penguin Is No More'. I was shocked at this, and decided to read the top story. As I read on, I couldn't believe what I was reading, because what I was reading said that Herbert had taken over the island and plunged it into total darkness! Just when I thought that things couldn't get any worse, I noticed something. I quickly slipped a note out of a secret spot in the newspaper, to find that it was from Aunt Arc- I mean the Director. Not that I know who the Director is. . . Anyways, back to the story. I slipped the note out and began to read it. It said that I was now a member of the EPF Resistance, and that I needed to report for duty in their Underground Base. I quickly set down the newspaper and jumped off of the chair I was sitting on, shouted "Gear up!" and slipped on my secret agent attire. I then waddled outside, only to find it freezing! I quickly activated the heating system in my spy suit and waddled into the Town. Once I arrived, I was shocked to see buildings covered in snow and a Herbert statue in the middle of the room! It was then that I accidentally stepped on a metal plate, caused an entrance to pop up. "This must be the entrance to the EPF Resistance Underground Base!" I whispered, as I stepped inside. Instantly, the door closed and I was warped into the Underground Base of the EPF Resistance. Down below, I spotted my friend Panda6c, who was the Tech member of my team. He was sitting at a table, probably planning an attack on Herbert. I waddled down and sat down in the chair across from him. "Good, you're here." Panda6c said, "We have a situation." What is it?" I asked. "Yesterday, the team and I tried to attack Herbert's base, but he captured the rest of the team. I almost didn't make it back. Our mission is to infiltrate Herbert's Base and shut down his Solar Laser." He explained, "Now follow me." We waddled out through an exit, and after climbing out of there through a ladder, we found ourselves in the middle of Herbert's Base. "Come on, I've already deactivated the security system." I followed him through the door, where we found ourselves in the vent system above a paradise-like room. There we saw Herbert himself, laughing evilly. But also, we saw Michellejr4, the Comm member of my team, trapped in a cage made of hard rock. Luckily, I had my Grappling Hook with me, which I used to reach through a space in the vents, which Panda6c had opened, grab her, and pull her into the vents without Herbert knowing. "Thanks for rescuing me, guys." Michellejr4 said. "You're welcome." I said, "But where's Paultropica6?" (Paultropica6 being the Stealth member of my team and my closest friend) "Herbert froze him and put him in a capsule." Michellejr4 said. "Do you know where the capsule is?" I asked. "No, but I have an idea." she answered. "Great! Lead the way!" I exclaimed, and Michellejr4 waddled ahead and lead us out of the vents, into another room. "This must be the beginning of Sector 1." Panda6c said. "And that," he said as he waddled over to a terminal, "must be Terminal 1" He quickly used his tech skills to shut it down, and waddled over to a door to the right. Once there, he tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. "It's locked." He mumbled, "But there's got to be a lever somewhere around here." It was then that I spotted a lever high up on the wall. "We're going to need a Grappling Hook to reach that." Michellejr4 noted. "I'm on it!" I said, and quickly used my Grappling Hook to grab the lever and pull it down, opening the door for a few seconds, just enough time for us to slip through. Then we found ourselves in the last room of Sector 1. Panda6c then waddled over to Terminal 2 and deactivated it. Then we approached another door. "Hmmm . . . " Panda6c mumbled. He knocked on the door with his flipper. He pondered for a second, then pulled out a small device and put it on his shoulder. Then a laser beam shot out of the device and sliced a hole in the door just big enough for us penguins to climb through. We then found ourselves back in the middle of Herbert's Base, but this time, we were on a platform on the top. We waddled through it, and entered onto a path on the right of a room - the same one that had, in the middle section, Paultropica6 (and the five top EPF agents) trapped in capsules! I tried climbing over it, but for some reason, I couldn't. "We'll reach him soon." Michellejr4 reassured, and after that, we waddled into the next room. "Sector 2?" I guessed. "Precisely." Panda6c answered, and waddled over to the Terminal in the room. And in a few seconds, the Terminal was shut down. "What now?" I asked, noticing the lasers blocking us from entering the next room. Panda6c rolled his eyes, and then ran straight through the lasers. I was shocked. "How did you do that?" I asked. "Laser Deflection Vest." He answered, banging a metal plate on his suit. He then shut down the lasers, and we pasted though. Long story short, after a few more rooms, we shut down all of the Terminals, and found ourselves once again in the middle of Herbert's Base, this time on the bottom floor again. Suddenly, a door in the middle of the room opened. Looking through it, I spotted the capsules holding Paultropica6 and the top members of the EPF. I was about to head towards the door, when Michellejr4 stopped me. At first I wondered why she stopped me, but then she pointed to the lava pit surrounding the door. Michellejr4 then went into her inventory and slipped on a pair of boots. She then proceeded to waddle across the lava. "Must be Anti-Lava Boots." I whispered, right before Michellejr4 pulled a lever, causing a path across the lava to appear. Panda6c and I then waddled across and entered Herbert's main control room, where Paultropica6 and the EPF's top agents were being held. "You'd better stand guard." I told Michellejr4, and with that, she slipped out the door. Panda6c then used his tech skills to brake Paultropica6 free, but right before he stepped out, I heard a voice from behind me. "Freeze, you pesky little penguin!" it shouted, and I instantly realized who it was. I turned around to find none other than Herbert P. Bear, standing at the front of the room. "Wait - what have you done to Michellejr4?" I demanded. "Her? Ha! I trapped her in a rock-hard cage yesterday!" I was about to argue this, when I noticed Paultropica6 and Michellejr4 hanging on the roof of the place with Paultropica6's Grappling Hook. I then came up with a plan. "Panda6c! Hack into the Solar Laser's system and shut it down!" Panda6c nodded and got to work. "No!" Herbert shouted, and ran towards Panda6c to attack him. I quickly intercepted, followed by a battle between me and Herbert. "Got it!" Panda6c soon yelled, followed by the Solar Laser shutting down and exploding. "What the?" Herbert said, suddenly stopping, "No!!!" He then turned to me. "That's it. I've had enough of you!" He roared, and then knocked me to the side. He walked up to me, growling "Any last words, you Elite Penguin Failure?" "Yeah," I said, "Girl power!" "What's that supposed to mean?" Herbert asked, but Michellejr4 understood. Without a word, she let go of Paultropica6's flipper and fell, landing on Herbert, and knocking him unconscious. "That's what it means." she said, with a sly smile on her face. She hopped off Herbert, but before we could capture him, a group of crabs rushed in and pulled him away. I was about to go after them, when Paultropica6 dropped down and landed in front of me. "Great job." he said, and we high-flippered. Suddenly, we heard a noise. We looked behind ourselves to find that the five top EPF agents who were captured were now hopping out of their capsules and were coming over to meet us. After meeting them, the Director came forth and revealed to us that she was, in fact, Aunt Arctic, telling us that we were now worthy of her secret, and to keep it well. After one short speech made by Aunt Arctic, the five agents left. "Wow, can you believe that Aunt Arctic is the Director?" Panda6c asked us. "Of course I knew that. I'm her -" I said, stopping in the middle of my sentence, "I mean, I know, right. It is a surprise." The others exchanged glances before looking at me. "Bye!" I said, quickly using my spy phone to teleport to my igloo. The others sighed, then proceeded to teleport back to their own igloos. The end.
