Traveling All of Antarctica/Chapter 7

Chapter 7:O Calada


The Gang soon reached Crebbec City around 3:00 PM.

Gottfried:"Ah Crebbec, beautiful city. Just look at that castle up on that hill! Must be wonderful to live in such a place!"

Clovis:"No, that's our hotel, Chateau-Avanatnac."

Clovis: "Crebbec has many sights.From the 17th century old fort, called La Citadelle. Hopefully we can have fun here. Sancho has booked us the Penthouse suite. He also said we should visit the Old Town."

Suddenly, Piper's EPF Communicator was getting a call from Fisch.

Piper:"Hello, Fisch? Yeah, he's right here. Clovis, It's for you."

Clovis:"Hello? Yes. Mmmmhmmm. Mmmhmmm. Ok. Well, that's obviously a momentous occation! I will go there at once."

Gottfried:"What is it?"

Clovis:"Fisch and Fuut-Ga wants me to see a momentous occation, the Water Dojo is being built, and Fisch wants me to be one of the first to see it, so I guess you guys will have to go to Torona on your own. Don't worry, I'll still catch up..."

Gottfried:"Wasn't Fuut Ga supposed to be driving us to SPC?"

Clovis:"Apparently he's going too. Don't worry, I'll be with him when you guys arrive in the Happyface State. I promise."

Clovis waved goodbye and went off to Crebbec City-Jean Le Sayge Airport. Meanwhile, Gottfried, Piper, S2, and Akbaboy went to check in at the hotel, Chateau-Avanatnac. Afterwards, the penguins went off into the old section of town to explore. The penguins and puffle went to a streetside cafe for dinner.

Gottfried:"Excuse me, waitor? We are ready to order!"

The waitor only looked at him funny and scoffed.

Piper:"Hey, Waitor! OVER HERE!"

The Waitor mumbled:"Mon Dieu! fous anglais!"

Akbaboy:"Let me handle this, guys. Excusez-moi? Nous sommes prêts à commander nos aliments aujourd'hui."

Waitor:"Oui."

Gottfried was hot in anger. He stood up and pointed at the waitor and yelled in German:

"Gib uns Respekt!" (Give us Respect!)

Waitor:"Donc, vous êtes un Allemand? Sortez d'ici là!" (So, you're an Alemanian? Get out of here then!)

Akbaboy:"Gottfried! What are you doing?"

Gottfried:"Du Abschaum Crebbecois!"

Gottfried took a cream soda bottle and hit the waitor on the head with it. Only to have the cafe owner kicked them out.

S2:"Gottfried! That's not your usual chivalraic self! What happened?"

Gottfried:"Cultural Reasons. Alemania and Frankterre (including Crebbec) have been bitter enemies for centuries. It was only by nature that I did it this way."

Gottifried: "Also, did you know that this was on of the first colonies established? Founded by Samuel de Complain in 1608."

Piper:"Hmm. Well, if anyone was going to give it to him, it should have been me, Gottfried."

Akbaboy:"Yeah, that's right. Piper is the one who usually loses his temper and starts violence...."

Piper:"What's that supposed to mean?"

Clovis had arrived in CP on the same day, but the presentation wasn't until the next day. Early that morning, Clovis and Fuut-Ga went to the Ninja Hideout to meet Fisch and Sensei, who where going to prepare and find the place to create the Water Dojo.

Fisch:"I'm glad you are all here right now, everyone. Today, we will discover the new site for the Water Dojo."

Jock Hochstadt and several Viking Soldiers also arrived as well.

Fisch:"Well, I know that Water Sensei loved to teach me near the Waterfall, so I believe that we should make it near it."

Sensei:"Indeed he loves it. How about creating it, Behind where it falls?"

Fisch:"Behind the waterfall? Hmmmmm. Let's take a look."

The whole prosession of Ninjas, Fire Ninjas, Vikings, and the Jester began following the two Penguins to the waterfall. When they had reached it, Sensei said:

"Go and open it on your own, boys. I must attend to other matters...."

Sensei suddenly dissapeared using those Cloud Bracelets.

Fisch:"Ok....weird...."

Fisch looked behind the waterfall first.

Fisch:"Why I'll be! There's a bunch of rocks behind here, but they don't look to thick! I think there might be a rock shelter carved from the waterfall behind all of this rubble! This is where we shall build the Water Dojo."

Everyone nodded and Clovis and Fuut Ga came forward.

Fisch:"My brother Clovis and Uncle Fuut Ga, would you be honored to remove the rubble for us please?"

Clovis and Fuut Ga:"Yes sir."

The Two started diggind away at the rubble until there was a final large rock in the way.

Fuut Ga:"Hmm. Clovis, looks like we will have to lift the rock together, alright? I think the shelter is right behind this boulder...."

The two of them lifted the rock with many of the spectators trying to get first glimpses of the Water Dojo.



They found Sensei standing inside it, with streaks of light shining on him within the dark shelter.

Sensei:"We shall build it here, My good friends and students all, the Water Dojo."

Everyone Cheered, and began working on the new Dojo.

Fisch:"What a nice place to train. Hey, we should make an entrance from the Ninja Hideout so that everyone can come and help build it."

Fuut Ga:"Got it. Clovis, the Vikings, and the Fire Ninjas will work on the tunnel...Let the regular Ninjas start bringing in the building materials...."

That next day, the penguins had a hearty breakfast at their grand hotel. They soon got their luggage again and headed for the train to Torona.

Gottfried:"Good think we have Akbaboy as our French Translator."

Akbaboy:"Yup. It's very close to Catalan, so I picked up French grammar and words quickly."

The Tunnel connecting the Water Dojo and the Ninja Hideout was already finished the previous day, and already the public began contributing to building the new Water Dojo.

Clovis:"So what, is that it?"

Fisch:"Pretty much. Everyone will take care of everything else, since it's going to be a while before the Water Dojo is finished.";

Clovis:"All right, then I guess I should go back and rejoin the gang again, right?"

Fisch:"Yup."

Clovis:"Alright, I better catch a flight to Torona then. I know that they're going to come across that city, so I'll be waiting for them there."

Fuut Ga:"Well, I guess I'll fly in to the HF State so I'll meet you there when you arrive."

Clovis:"ok."

the two of them headed for the airport.

An excerpt from Gottfried's Journal, written by Akbaboy since Gottfried's hatred towards Frankterrans and Crebbecois was unacceptable.

''[Gottfried] had no kindness towards the natives of Crebbec, showing the ancient rivalry between the Alemanians and Frankterrans. He was much unlike himself, acting [OOC] and unchivalraicly toward our waitor in a cafe located in heart of Crebbec City. He also was displeased to see that our friend [Gottfried] was from Alemania. Although Crebbec has long been from being part of Frankterre, their culture, language, and architecture still remain in the province and city of Crebbec. We stayed in the elegant Chateau Anvantnac, a beautiful hotel that was built upon a hill, and is well notable for it's castle like appearance. Today we ride the train, for we will now travel to another Crebbecois city, known as Montrealm, and later to an English speaking city known as Torona, where Gottfried will resume writing in his journal.''

Swiss Ninja was standing on the observation deck which was on one of his castle's turrets, overlooking Snowzerland. A slight cool breeze was in the air, and it was sunny today in this (Southern Hemisphere) summer day. Then, he got a call from Austin8310, who was still in West Pengolia awaiting for the arrival of the Hochstadt travelers.

Austin:"Hey Swiss. Yeah, they haven't arrived yet."

SN:"Do you know where they are at the moment?"

Austin:"Yeah. I stole a map from their trip. I'm guessing at the moment that today they should be heading into the Crebbecois city of Montrealm."

SN:"Montrealm, Calada? Hmmmph. Ok, thanks Austin. I think I'll just fly in to Torona, and wait for them there...."

Austin:"Wait, WHAT? Why? I'm going to do it here!"

SN:"I sometimes need to take action into my own hands. You should still stay there just in case they escape. Besides, when was the last time I fought personally?"

Austin:"Don't remember anymore, but I get your point."

SN:"OK, that's all I wanted to talk about. Bye!"

Austin:"Bye!"

The train to Torona went well, everyone was ready to see the next city except for Gottfried, who was still grumpy about being in a French Speaking area.

Akbaboy:"Lighten up, Gott Fried Hockey Stick. This is our last Crebbecois City that we're visiting. Only that, we are only staying there for a couple hours, and take the night train to Torona."

Gottfried:"Good."

Piper:"So what, you're going to be this grumpy again when we go to Frankterre?"

Gottfried:"No, because I'm not going there. I've been there already, so I'm going to go home to my castle in Alemania for a little bit."

S2:"That's probably a better plan..."

The Gang arrived in Montrealm that day in the afternoon.

Piper:"Hmmph. Another Crebbecois town."

S2 was already looking at the train departures, ready to buy their tickets for their train trip to Torona.

S2:"Uh oh, guys...Looks like we may not be able to make it to Torona tonight...the train trip was cancelled due to technical difficulties..."

Gottfried:"WHAT??? NOOOOOOO! GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Piper:"Geez, Gottfried, calm down. As long as you don't tell anyone that you're Alemanian no one will mind you being here."

Sancho Monte Captio:"Not to fear anyone, I am here!"

Gottfried:"Hi Sancho! How'd you find out we're here?"

Sancho:"I'm a sponsor of the Hochstadt Gang, no? Montrealm is where we assemble our Pontrier Aircraft.It's at the old abandoned Mirrabelle Airport. Used to be the major airport of the city, but now it's abandoned."

Gottfried:"So you'll hitch us a ride?"

Sancho:"Sure! That's why I came here, but first you guys need to tour the town."

Sancho and the Gang boarded a motor coach, in which they toured Montreal

Sancho: "Montrealm is a city with 2 million penguins, the second-largest after Torona. Named after "Mountain Realm", of the New French colony."

Gottifried: "Exciting! Where shalt we go next?"

S2: "Exciting!"

Sancho: "Our first stop is at the Notre-Dame Bascillica, a major Telenacle in the heart of the city. You may go visit inside the Cathedral. It's very, very beautiful inside!"

After a few minutes in the church, the Gang headed over to Mont Royal

Sancho: "I love Montreal. I grew up here for two years, when I was 10. Now, we are approaching Mont Royal, an urban park, which hosts a beautiful panoramic shot of the city!"

Sancho: "Did you also know that this is the headquarters of the Penguin Olympic Anti-Doping Agency and the Antarctic Air Transport Association, and the famous Cirque du La Lune."

Gottifried: "Interesting. This is why this place is really popular."

Sancho: "Yes. Now, we'll visit Mont Royal, it's where many ponds and walkways are."

The Gang then went to Mont Royal for about an hour or two.

Sancho: "Now, I'll show you the Olympic Stadium here. It's quite old. It wasn't really THAT finished during the Olympics."

Gottifried: "Oh, I see, is it finished now?"

S2: "It's wonderful here in the city of Montreal!"

Sancho: "After 30 years, I suppose yes, it is."

After a half an hour, the Gang bused to Old Montreal, where they explored many of the famous markets.

Sancho: "Well, Montreal's main airport is very near here. It's actually in the Downtown core. Anyway, SkyJet Airways retired a 6-year old aircraft, a Snowing 777-200LR, as the aircraft was overstressed while landing in Polaris, so the company had to de-register it from our fleet.I fixed it up with my personal funds, and now it will be your new air transport vehicle. Equipped with all the amenities of first-class travel!"

Sancho led them to the airport and into the newly refurbished Snowing 777.

Gottfried:"Nice decor!"

S2:"I feel comfortable here."

Piper:"May I see the cockpit?"

Sancho:"Sure thing, piper. We customised the cockpit just for you. I'll co-pilot as well..."

Piper:"It even has a glass cockpit!"

Sancho:"I know, cool, huh?"

Piper:"Alright, let's take this thing for a spin."

Swiss Ninja and Clovis both arrived into Torona, Calada's Toronto-Appleton International Aiport on the same day, and apparently at the same time. SN was the first to spot his brother, and quickly hid behind a pile of luggage bags.

Swiss:"Good....Clovis is here...the others must be nearby."

Swiss weaved across the crowds of penguins and puffles that were hurring towards their flights. SN decided that he would stalk him to his hotel, the Fairhill Regal Yorkshire Hotel. Clovis left the airport terminal and stood in the car drop off/pick up area on the curb to call for a taxi. SN hid behind a large pole that supported the building. Clovis waved his hand.

Clovis:"Taxi, Taxi! Over here!"

A taxi came over and the driver opened the door. Clovis got into the car and gave him the money.

Swiss:"Ahh! He's getting away!"

The car started to slightly move, turning to the side so that it could get out of the loading zone and onto the road. SN made a run for the car. The taxi driver took no notice of him, assuming that he was another person trying to catch a flight, so he looked away. SN double jumped and landed on the top of the taxi.

Thump!

Clovis:"Hey, taxi driver, what was that?"

Taxi Driver:"Hmmph. Someone must have hit their luggage against the car. I hope it didn't make a dent."

The car began to drive. The travelers were watching Swiss Ninja, as he posed "victory" poses on top of the moving taxi.

Tourist:"Is that Swiss Ninja!"

Swiss Ninja:"Yes, I am Swiss Ninja!"

Clovis:"Hey, I thought I heard Swiss Ninja's voice...."

Taxi Cab Driver:"Naw. I've heard it before. Must be one of those Snoss tourists trying to show off their cultural pride."

Clovis: :\ "Well, i know Snoss do weird things sometimes...especially for their leader."

The tourists were giving SN a lot of attention, many were taking pictures of him.

Clovis:"No....are they looking at us now?"

Taxi Cab Driver:"Heh. They finally realized my new hairdo!"

The taxi driver started brushing his messy hair with his flipper. Some girl penguins started laughing at Swiss Ninja when he waved at her.

Taxi Driver:"Yeah, girls, I'm available!"

Clovis:"ugh...."

The taxi drove to a hotel, where Clovis planned for the travelers to stay in.

Swiss:"Ahh! He's stopping! He can't see me!"

Swiss jumped off the taxi and into a trash can.

The taxi continued further until it came in front of the hotel entrance. The driver dropped off Clovis, and left. Swiss got out of the luckily empty trash can. Swiss pulled out his father's old scarf, and wrapped it around his neck and face. He also removed his crown, ninja mask, and belt. He replaced them with a baseball cap, dark sunglasses, and a coat. He then went into the hotel lobby.

Clovis:"Alright then, where our the rooms?"

Front Desk Assistant:"You have hotel rooms 202, 203, and 204 on the 4th floor."

Clovis:"Thanks."

Clovis walked to the elevators. Swiss Ninja went up to the front desk.

Swiss:"'Scuse me, sir, but I would like a room too, near that jester..."

Front Desk Assistant:"You know him?"

Swiss:"Errr...we are old friends....haven't met in a long time..."

Front Desk Assistant:"I see."

Swiss:"Alright, enough of that, can I have room 201?"

Front Desk Assistant:"Sorry, that one is taken. And so is 205."

Swiss:"Errr...Hold on a minute."

Swiss Ninja left the hotel lobby and took the elevator to the 4th floor. Seconds later, a screaming penguin was heard, and then a loud thump. Swiss Ninja came down to the Lobby again.

Swiss:"Alright, looks like room 201 is now available."

The Front Desk Assistant looked at SN awkwardly, but gave him the keycard to the room anyways.

Swiss mumbled:"Yes! Mwahahahaha! I always get what I want!"

The sound of a paramedic ambulance could be heard...
