Traveling All of Antarctica/Chapter 6

Chapter 6:The Cruise Through the Rest of Freezeland
As soon as the three Hochstadt Gang members where safely returned, S2 returned from Terninia after explaining what happened to the Hochstadt Gang. S2 came back to pick up Akbaboy so they could rejoin Gottfried and Piper.

Akbaboy:"I don't think they allow LATTU's on Cruises...."

S2:"The LATTU? Why do we need that for? I'm the clone of a Super Penguin. I can fly both of us there."

Akbaboy:"Are you sure that....."

S2 grabbed Akbaboy and flew into the air.

Akbaboy:"AHHHH!"

S2:"Don't worry. I don't have super strength though, but you are still easy to hold on to."

S2 flew off with Akbaboy.

Swiss Ninja's private jet finally arrived on the small airstrip on Nuke Island, Snowzerland's new center of warfare.

Swiss, Austin, Rex and Johnathan Wolfhunter stepped out to find the head Engineer of the island to greet them.

Head Engineer:"Welcome, your highness".

Swiss:"I am very welcomed, indeed. I hope to see a milestone on how you guys have created the next milestone for Snowzerland's warfare. Please also explain to Austin how we came across the ideas as well....."

Rex:"Oh great."

Johnathan:"I hope this is good!"

Swiss:"Oh yes, yes indeed! You see, the other day I was browsing the internet, and I stumbled across the link to the Human website they call 'Yahoo'....."

Austin:"Heheh. Did they yell 'yahoo' when they made the site?"

Swiss:"Hmmm? No! The site was all about Human news. You know, humans talk about the weirdest stuff. Anyways, I came across this guys named....um...I don't know how to pronouce it....but I think it's Akba-Dinner-job. Apparently, he....."

Johnathan:"Is he a relative of Akbaboy?"

Swiss:"No. Akba-Dinner-Job is a human."

Johnathan:"Right...forgot about that...."

SN:"So, Akba-Dinner-Job is creating this thing called 'nuclear weapons'. I looked up what nuclear weapons are, and i liked its concepts and dangerous effects, so I started Nuke Island - the new home for Snowzerland's Nuclear Weapon industry!"

Austin:"Isn't that illegal?"

SN:"Not in Snowzerland."

Austin:"No I mean, like its illegal in the Free Republics..."

SN:"Not that I'm aware of, and I really don't care. I'm going to use Nuclear weapons anyways even if they are banned."

Rex:"For once, this sounds Cool."

SN:"Well, just to be safe, I may have tweaked the formula for the Nuclear Bomb......I added some Deletion stuff so that the victims of the explosion wouldn't be evaporated by the radiation. Instead they would be deleted. Everything around them though would be disintegrated by the radiation."

Austin:O_O

Johnathan:"Well, if the USA and Free Republics heard about this, they ceartainly would not allow this weapon."

Swiss:"That's why you keep quiet and not tell anyone. Are we clear?"

Austin, Rex, and Johnathan:"Yes sir!"

S2 and Akbaboy landed on Gottfried and Piper's cruise ship.

Piper:"Don't you need to pay for the tickets before going on the cruise ship?"

Akbaboy:"No need. Already did that ahead of time."

Piper:"So, S2, welcome to the Hochstadt Crew!"

Gottfried:"Don't you mean Hochstadt Gang?"

Piper:"I know. It's just that we're on a ship...."

Gottfried:"Oh. Well, welcome S2."

S2:"Glad to be welcomed."

Akbaboy:"Yeah guys, I think I'm only going to be with you until we reach FG. I still have a country to run."

Gottfried:"Alright. We are all reunited and safe."

Piper:"Next stop: Frostborough!"

That afternoon, the ship arrived in Frostborough.

Gottfried was singing a famous song, The Dark Streets of Frostborough:

''At night they would go waddling ;till the breaking of the day,

''The daylight is for sleeping;

''Through the dark streets they go searching to see life in their own way,

''Save the nighttime for your creeping;

''Your creeping;

''Chanting lalalalaley;

And the night over the city Lay;

...

Piper:"Nice song Gottfried."

The group had made it to the old fashioned city of Frostborough - capital of Freezeland. It seemingly looked like as if the group had gone back in time.

Piper:"I'm used to the old fashioned houses, but I have never seen these old fashioned looking penguins..."

Gottfried:"The good part of this is that crime is low, and prices are cheaper here; just like old times."

Piper:"Well, your knightly armor also make you blend in as well!"

King Triskelle:"Welcome to Frostborough, my friends!"

Everyone spun around in surprise to see the famed monarch of Freezeland.

Gottfried bowed in respect.

Gottfried:"Greetings, your highness. It is a pleasure to meet you."

King Triskelle:"It's a pleasure to meet you all as well. I am happy to have you all in the city, after all you all have done to help liberate and restore Freezeland...."

Gottfried:"Ah, that was mostly Jock and Dave. I will tell them anyways."

King Triskelle:"I heard about your arrival, and I wanted to give you a tour of Frostborough."

Piper:"Who told you about our arrival?"

King Triskelle:"Your good friend Clovis Hochstadt, the jester. He's in Ard Mahaca right now, but he wants to join you guys once you reach there...Since he's been in my court before, he notified me about your trip. It would be a pleasure to help all of you."

Akbaboy:"That's nice. Let me guess, you're coming too?"

King Triskelle:"Oh no, I still have many things to do. I would love to though. Come, let me show you some of Frostborough's sights...."

An excerpt from Gottfried's Journal:

''The good King Triskelle gave us a tour of the Freezelandian capital of Frostborough today. it is in fact very old fashioned, but very nice. Crime is low, and prices are cheap here. However, telephones still use the operating system and traveling in a car is a seldom occastion. Yes, mainly all of our trips where on foot. The only transporation in the town usually leave the city, which is the train station and the ships on the docks. However, this city is a great experience because I felt like I went back in time. Penguins who are avid history fans would surely love this place. We will be leaving tonight and heading for our final Freezelandian destination - Ard Mahaca, where we will rejoin with Clovis.''

King Triskelle had toured the group through all of the amazing areas of Frostborough. They passed by the Royal Jadis Hotel, The harbors, St. Finwe's Green, and more. However, the Cruise ship was ready to leave now that it was 5:30 PM.

King Triskelle:"I wish good tidings to you all."

Gottfried:"Yes, Yes indeed. You too."

Piper:"This is a nice city you got here. I will come back here again one day."

S2:"Agreed with Piper."

The penguins boarded the cruise and headed out to sea again, towards Ard Mahaca.

Austin and Swiss where at SN's home, the Keukenhof Castle. It was 7:00 when SN's telephone rang in the private library.

Swiss Ninja:"Hello? Who's this?"

S1:"This is S1, clone commander here on Terninia."

Swiss:"Oh yes, S1. Nice to hear from you. What are you here to report?"

S1:"My brother, S2. He said he went on a mission and hasn't returned."

Swiss:"Oh. That's not good. Don't you have a clone tracker or something?"

S1:"Sorry sir. We don't."

Swiss:"What would you like me to do?"

S1:"Search for him, duh!"

Swiss:"Fine. Do so. I have other more important things to deal with right now."

Austin: "Don't waste your time. Both of them are useless."

Swiss: "That's not true. Both are highly efficient commanders!"

Austin glared, and then went out to the barracks to organize a search party.

That next morning, the cruise ship arrived in Ard Macha. Clovis was already at the docks since his hotel was nearby.

Gottfried:"Hello Clovis. Nice to see you up already."

Clovis:"It is good to see all of you too. Since your cruise is already over, I've rearranged you all to stay at the hotel I've been staying at."

Piper:"Which is?"

Clovis:"We will be staying in the luxurious La Costa Real, or The Royal Coast Hotel, which is only a few blocks down the coast. Despite it's Spanish name, it looks just like all the other Freezelandian styled buildings out here."

S2:"Is it that brick building over there?"

Clovis:"Hmmm? Oh, yeah. That's the one. The Building looks more of the Colonial Antarctican style, since it was founded by a Viking from Penguinton. Come, let's check in and take a tour of the town."

Dave Hochstadt took some time off now that the Traveling Group was going to stay in Ard Mahaca for the night. He went to the coffee shop for a Latte and some croissants. As he was eating and conversing with some of the surfer friends he had, Austin and S1 barged into the Coffee Shop.

Austin:"STOP WHERE YOU ARE! DAVE HOCHSTADT, YOU'RE COMING WITH US!"

Austin started firing his snowbullet pistol, but Dave rolled and dodged the snowbullets. Dave got out his snowbullet pistol and shot Austin, who staggered back. S1 took out his tranquilizer rifle and precicely shot Dave in the buttox several times.

Dave:"Ack!"

Dave fell onto the floor unconcious because of the tranquilizer bullets.

Austin:"Ouch. I guess you're better than I thought, and you've got an excellent aim! Now, I've got an igloo here, so let's drag him over there...."

Austin and S1 dragged Dave to Austin's igloo.

...

Dave woke up to find himself tied up to a chair.

Austin:"So, you're awake now! Start talking, Hochstadt! Where is S2 the RDA Clone Trooper??"

Dave:"What are you talking about?"

S1:"Don't play stupid with us! We know Fisch, Jock, and Akbaboy where there and found out about this secret project on Terninia."

Dave:"I don't know anything about this!"

Austin:"He's not cooperating!"

S1 took out a deletion bomb, and strapped it to Dave.

S1:"ANSWER US! WHERE IS S2???"

Dave:"Ok! Ok! I confess! S2 went off to join Gottfried and Piper on their quest to travel all of Antarctica......"

Austin:"Is this it? Hmph. What's the big deal with that?"

S1:"My brother is a traitor! He joined the enemy!"

Austin:"Woah, woah, there Clone. I've been on their side before, yet I've remained loyal to Swiss Ninja. If S2 wishes to do so, then he can do whatever he wants...."

S1:"I don't like this. Call in Johnathan, 'cause I want to go stop these guys from traveling all of Antarctica. I mean, they will gain fame! SN will kill us!"

Austin:"You're right...."

Dave:"Are you going to let me go now?"

Austin:"But wait, if they are traveling all of Antarctica, they would have to go to West Pengolia, even more so, Snowzerland!"

S1:"Yeah! We should stop them at the place they will reach us first!"

Austin:"Well, let me contact Rex to look out for the Hochstadts when they come to West Pengolia."

Dave:"HELLO? I'm still here! When are you going to let me go?"

S1:"Oh, we aren't going to let you go. First you gotta first answer some more questions...."

Johnathan Wolfhunter came into Austin's igloo.

Johnathan:"Hey, I heard you caught a Hochstadt...."

Austin:"Yeah, less talk and more action. Point your gun at the hostage's forehead. If he doesn't answer, then end him."

Johnathan did as he was told.

Dave:"OK, OK! I'll talk! You see, I have the map of the journey in my pocket...."

Austin:"OK. S1, untie the Suspect, but Johnathan, keep your guard so that the hostage doesn't try to do anything."

S1 found and opened up the map of Gottfried's and Piper's Journey. Austin retied Dave with the rope.

Johnathan:"Woah."

Austin:"So, just as I suspected. They are going to Both Pengolias, all the Islands in the Ninja Archipelago, and even Terninia! I can't believe it! They're toast!"

Johnathan:"So wait, is that why Fisch, Jock, and Akbaboy went to Terninia- to see what it really was?"

Dave:"Yeah, duh."

S1:"That's impossible! How could the foriegners figure out about that secret base?"

Dave:"That's classified."

Austin:"Keep your Secret Agent remarks to yourself! You gave us enough information."

The three of them then moved to another side of the room, ignoring Dave.

Austin:"So, they're right now in Ard Mahaca, Freezeland."

Johnathan:"It'll be a while before we can reach them."

Austin:"Our best bet is to fly ahead of them to Pengolia. We can't miss them there...."

The three continued talking, but Dave had other plans other than being tied to a chair all day. When he was temporarily untied, he had placed his flipper in his other pocket, where his spy phone was. He then pressed the HQ button and teleported to the EPF HQ. Dave was teleported along with the chair and rope still tied to him.

G:"Agent Dave! What happened?"

Dave:"Long story. Just untie me. Let's just say Austin and his friends came to town and wanted me to answer some questions...."

G:"What did you tell them? Nothing about the agency, did you?"

Dave:"Ah, no. However, I exposed our mission with Gottfried and Piper. We will have to have agents helping them since the Snoss will try to be after them."

G:"I feared this would happen."

....

At Austin's Igloo...

S1:"Arg, he got away!"

Austin:"Ah, I did that on purpose. The EPF can't possibly stop us."

Johnathan:"Yeah. They can't possibly stop us in their enemies' territory."

Once the travelers checked in the hotel and had their luggage settled in their rooms, Clovis showed them around town. Clovis took them into the lively part of town, home to lots of cafes, Cream Soda pubs, and small stores of many kinds.

Clovis:"¡Bienvenidos a La Ciudad de Ard Mahaca!" (Translation:Welcome to the city of Ard Macaha)

Akbaboy:"Hmmm. I never knew you spoke Spanish, Clovis."

Clovis:"Well, since I've been living in Albergue Plata for a while, I've been taking Spanish Clases so I can communicate and understand the natives."

Akbaboy:"Yeah. I know Spanish too since Goverua is part of FG. It's also very similar to Catalan, one of my native languages."

Piper:"This town looks like it was built by Vikings, not High Penguins. I can tell because of the Architecture."

Clovis:"Actually, you're right. Vikings did make this town, for real. Many HP's settled here though."

S2:"Hmm. Lets go to that Cream Soda Pub for some drinks."

Clovis and Gottfried:"Agreed."

The five of them went inside and sat down at the Cream Soda Bar.

Cream Soda Barista:"Mar sin, cad a bheidh ar fad agat tráthnóna inniu?"

Piper:"Sorry, we speak Free Republic English."

Barista:"Sorry, I said, So what will all of you have this evening?"

Clovis:"All of us except the puffle want some Cream Soda."

Piper:"Hey! Puffles can drink Cream Soda too! Soda Roots are plentiful on Rockhopper Island, my homeland, and we eat plenty of them."

Barista:"So you want a Cream Soda too?"

Piper:"Actually today I will prefer a plate of Soda Roots. Is that available?"

Barista:"Sure thing, coming up."

The Barista brought them their drinks and soda roots.

Barista:"Enjoy, lads."

Gottfried:"We will, thanks."

Gottfried flipped a coin in the air which was caught by the Barista as a tip.

Barista:"Thanks."

Clovis:"Now, for tomorrow, we will take the cruise ship that will take us to Calada. Boarding begins at 9:30 AM sharp."

Gottfried:"Where in Calada will we be visiting again?"

Clovis:"We will first stop in Crebbec City,where we will be staying at the Chateau-Avanatnac then off to Montrealm, and finally Torona. As the St. Lorrie's River does not have any ferry services, we will have to take a train. After that, we will depart from Torona to Southern Ocean City, via ferry, then take another one to the Happyface State. From there, Fuut Ga will be there to pick us up and drive us through FG and Eastshield all the way to South Pole City. However, Fuut Ga's car only fits five passengers including himself."

S2:"I can fly to South Pole City before the rest of you. I'll stay at a hotel or something..."

Akbaboy:"Nah. You can just fly to FG. I'm already done, so once we reach there I'm staying home. I still have a country to run, you know."

S2:"Sounds reasonable."

That next day, the group checked out of the hotel and boarded the Cruise for Crebbec. It would only take a couple hours to get there since it was nearby.

Piper:"About time we left Freezeland. I was getting sick of it."

Gottfried:"What? How come? I thought you said that you liked it."

Piper:"Well, only Frostborough since it's so unique. It's about time we go somewhere else...."

Gottfried:"Hmph. Well, now since we will be going to Crebbec and Montrealm, you will be seeing a whole bunch of colonial Frankterran Architecture. We are even going to Frankterre itself also."

An excerpt from Gottfried's Journal:

''Ard Mahaca, another well known city of Freezeland, is yet another great city to visit. It has many nice restauraunts, pubs, taverns, clubs, and seaside hotels that will facinate young care free penguins, yet has that old world charm that makes you feel at home with it's cobblestone streets and brick and stone buildings. Although the fact that Ard Macaha was actually built by Vikings, the city shows a lot of High Penguin pride and culture with it's delicous food and Cream Soda. Also, the nearby countryside outside the city is nice to view and visit as well.''

Back in CP, Fisch went to the Ninja Hideout, expecting to meet Sensei. He was in for a surprise to find the regular ninjas surrounding him.

Fisch:"Hey, Sensei! You have given in to the pressure I see. Let me guess, you're now going to start publicly training Water Ninjas in Card Jitsu Water."

Sensei:"This is very true. Card Jitsu Water is here. Everyone can learn."

Fisch:"Now. This will be interesting. Where will you make the new Dojo?"

Sensei:"How 'bout you decide?"

Fisch:"Hmmmmmmm.....I think I have an idea, but I better get the rest of the Ninja leadership involved in this too."
