Murphy: The Fall and Rise of Darktan/Chapter Five: Assembling an Army

Subchapter one: Luka, the First Member
"WAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAA!" The alarm clock was supposed to ring. WitchyPenguin was busy mixing a potion, Spearmint Anti-Fatigue, since everyone was tired thanks to the Mwa Mwa. She mixed with some water and put it in a bucket. She went up to every tent and threw some water into them. Now everyone was awake. The Conclave of Doom and Xary met at the command tent while Mectrixctic decided to look at her to do list.

Construct an army of my favourite penguins

"Wait what?" she told herself. "An army, huh?"

Mectrixctic decided that she'd take a little 'holiday'.

"Guys I'm taking a quick holiday! I will be back in a week" she told them.

Using her pitchfork, she teleported herself back to the underworld. However she didn't see the other demon penguins. She connected herself up to her avatar, Catxinposen, wearing police uniform.

"Cool! I can try the prisons first". She teleported from the underworld to the nearest police station, which also serves as a military base (it's only 10 miles away!). A police officer met her.

"You're ok, PC... err..."

"Trooper Lucy Smith!". Catxinposen didn't want to use her proper avatar name.

"Oh Lucy. Nice name".

"Yeah. So, have you heard of any new inmates?"

"No. Seems to be quiet".

"Really? Who is the most annoying guy you had to deal with then?"

"Easy! Luka Wryren, from East New Club Penguin National Prison. We're transferring to the re-educational facility here. He'll be here next week. I worked at that prison and he was annoying that I moved here - nearer the underworld. It's better then sticking with him".

"Oh. Excuse me I need to go on the beat. Well, thanks for the chat". Catxinposen left with that and teleported herself to East-New Club Penguin Prison. She found herself in the entrance. She approached the desk Sargent.

"Excuse me! Please may I see Luka Wryren?"

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No but he's my son". Catixposen knew what she was doing- and she was wearing police uniform.

"Really? Luka hasn't seen you in ages. And you're a police officer. Why didn't you say so. Here are the prison keys". Catixposen led her through corridor and corridor until she found Luka. A police officer walking by opened the door for her and told her:

"You have 5 minutes". "Luka, this is your mum".

Luka looked up.

"Ur nwot mwai mwummy" he said just as Catixposen covered his beak.

"Shhh! We're going to escape! Understand?"

"Okway". Catixposen knocked out guard by giving him a burn with a little bit of fire (she is a demon).

"AHHHH!" as he fell to the floor. Catix didn't know it was that deadly. She opened everyone else's cells and teleported herself and Luka back to the underworld. When she got back, she decided that she didn't need an army.

"Right now. We're partners in crime. Ok?" She told Luka

"Okway!"

"Wait here. I may look a little different". Catix walked into another room and Mectrixctic disconnected herself. She walked back into the room Luca was in. "I'm back!" she said. "Let me think of something we can do". Mectrixctic spent a minute or so thinking about what to do.

"Ok Luka. Let's rob a bank!"

Luka and Mectrixctic rob a bank
Luka, with his incredibly smart mind, devised the necessary equipment needed - master keys, guns, tools, everything. Meanwhile, Mectrixctic chose the bank to rob and thought of a plan the Neo Domino City Bank, the largest bank in the city.

"Ok Luka. We charge into the door, knock out the security, mug all the customers, get to the vault, steal the money, then we'll go to the central computer and put that worm in to get the account details" Mectrixctic said.

"Okway". Mectrixctic and Luka teleported outside the bank and marched in, carrying Deletion Rifless.

"Ok. We're holding deletion lasers - give us your money!" Mectrixctic ordered. Everyone threw their money at them and run. The sercurity guards also ran away.

"Right! Let's get to the vault. Luka, take point".

"Wes swir". Lukan led the way. They searched the entire building until they found it. In front of it was hundreds of deletion lasers.

"Swir...".

"Don't worry" Mectrixctic said as she teleported to the control room. She deactivated the lasers and Luka waddled over. Mectrixctic returned.

"I'll opwen twa dwor with dwa mwaster see". Luka opened it. The two grabbed what they can. The two then searched for the centrel computer. It was only a floor above. Luka entered in a disc, carrying a worm, to steal everyone's account.

"Twen minwutes swir".

"Darn. The cops should be here by now. I'll protect the building". The Penguin Police Troop was here, also armed with deletion lasers. Mectrixctic fired as much as he can. They shot back. They haven't been able to hit each other.

"Luka, how long do we have?"

"Fwive minwutes".

"Argh! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!". Mectrixctic had gone crazy. Suddenly her gun wouldn't fire. She checked her energy count. No deletion energy left.

"Darn!"

"Luka! We have to go!"

"Bwut..."

"Luka! Get my trident!". Luka obeyed and took the disc before it finished. Mectrixctic and Luka teleported.

Meanwhile, back at the realm mountains.

"Hey, I wonder Mect is doing? She's having a good time while we're stuck in the freezing mountains. What do you, Robo-Gary?" WitchyPenguin asked.

"I do not give opinion. That is not programming" Robo-Gary replied.

"Oh shut up you piece nuts and bolts" Herbet Horror growled.

Mectrixctic searched the underworld for Luka. When they teleported, Luka was some how separated. An upgraded paper aeroplane with a rocket landed in front of Mect.

Dwear Mectwixctic

"Cute! He can't pronounce my name" Mectrixctic said.

You sweem wike a gweat gwuy an aww bwut I won't wink we can work with weach orange. I'm going wout on mwi wown.''

Yours, Luka.

"Darn! I really need an army. That Luka was perfect for me... still I can make use of the rocket thing... hey I know I'll ask one of the demon scientists".

"I do not approve! No sadness! Absolutely no sadness!" Director Kenny screamed at Murphy and Lord Carrion.

"Don't worry. It'll get sad sooner or later" Carrion replied, with an evil laugh.

subchapter
Before Mectrixctic had time to leave the room, a copy of the Daily Demon arrived on a similar paper aeroplane.

"Actually I should take a read" Mectrixctic told herself. She sat down and opened it up. She turned to Potential Minions. She scanned the page for an excellent replacement of Luka. However all the good ones were taken... except two. The first one was a twiguin, called Jake Gastby.

Name: Jake Gastby

Location: UnitedTerra, exact location unknown.

''Reason: He's a Twiguin - that makes him very dangerous.

''Requirements: Feed him left overs from your lunch. Give him a warm room.

''Other: Originally, he came from the Club Penguin forest but in search for his "pack", which was kidnapped by PSA agents, ended up in UnitedTerra. May also be hard to tame.''

The second, was called Sally "Slithers" and she thought she was a snake.

Name: Sally Slithers

Location: Southern Thomas Hills Insitute of Mentel Health, Thomas Hills, Aquarius

''Reason: Thinks she's a snake - feed her a few rats and she'll do anything you want. Also makes an excellent spy''

Requirements: Buy a giant tank, with a big rock and a huge sunlamp

Other: A seriously cool thing - she can split her tounge!

"Ahh! They'll have to do - and anyway, it's kinda cool that she can split her tounge and having a Twiguin is cool too". Mectrixctic decided to search for Jake first. He decided to go and ask some of his demon buddies first.

"Yeah! Some kid called Jake Gastby. Saw him alright. Said he was a Vampenguin but he lied so we're throwing him into the lava" one of them said.

"Where?"

"Next room". Mectrixctic ran into the next room. She found six demon penguins throwing a penguin into am pit full of lava.

"NO! Give the Twiguin to me!" The Demons did what she said.

"Listen Gastby. I'm your new packmate. We're partners in crime now, ok?" Mect remembered saying that to Luka.

"Ok! Ok!" Said Jake. He let out a big howl.

"Wanna do some vandalism?" Mec asked him. Jake barked in agreement.

"Alright. Let's go!"

Mectrixctic teleported herself and Jake Gastby into the Club Penguin town.

"You're going to get your revenge! Go and vandalise the town!!!!!!!!!!" she said, shooting a fireball from her trident at the Gift Shop. Penguins screamed and ran away. Meanwhile, Jake Gastby attacked passer bys, stealing whatever he could. Mectrixctic grabbed a baseball bat and headed into the Night Club.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DEMON RAID!" the DJ yelled. Mect vandalized the turn tables. The Keeper attempted to stop her but Jake came in and attacked him. The Keeper and Jake got into a large fight. Mect was busy too. She smashed CDs, wrecked the power supply and then went downstairs and went into the boiler and switched off the heating. The swimming pool froze instantly. That wouldn't be the main problem.

With her baseball bat, Mect hit the glass separating the sea, beginning another flood in CP. She ran back into the night club, looking for Jake.

Gastby had the keeper down on the floor.

"Leave him! We got to go before the agents get here". Jake hung onto Mectrixctic and they teleported back into the underworld. That was only the start of their demon raids. The next day, they attacked CP again, during its flood, and made it worse, by bursting the Kermillan Channels. This wasn't only a disturbance for CP but also for the whole of the continent. The day after that, Mectrixctic fixed the channels, since the underworld would be destroyed too and vandalised Zudipool, Southeast Frostborough and freed more prisoners from the same prison Luka was in. The third day, they decided to rest. Mect thought of Luka.

"He was a great guy - I wish he was here".

"And hwe wis". Mect looked at the corner of his eye.

"LUKA!"

"I cwan't hwide wanywere. Please take me back!"

"YES! OH AND LUKA MEET JAKE. PLAY NICELY, I GOT BUSINESS TO DO".

Mectrixctic ran to the nearest Avatar room and changed herself into Catxinposen. With Luka back, she decided to get that Sally "Slithers". She changed into a doctor's uniform and teleported the Southern Thomas Hillls Insiture of Mentel Health. She found herself in the entrance. She asked the receptionist for Sally Slithers.

"Sally? She's in the second floor, bed three" he replied. "I never seen you before..."

"Um, I just graduated!" lied Catxin

"Oh. Well... hello Doctor Philip Jackson. I thought you were a girl".

"Philip? You mean Phyllis. It must had been a mistake". Immediately, Catxinposen manipulated the receptionist in case he asked questions.

"Go through Doctor".

Catxinposen took the lift and arrived in the second floor. It was deserted, with only the patients and their bed.

"Ok! You lot are all sick of being stuck here, in this lonely hospital floor. Well I'm going to break you all out. I'm looking for someone called Sally "Slithers". I'll only break you out if she comes with me".

"Hisssssssssssssssssss! That'sssssssssss me" she hissed.

"Good! Let's go!"

Catxinposen led the way, leading the paitents. They dashed down the stairs, which was deserted (who would use it when you could use the lift?) and left through the door.

"Hey!" the receptionist yelled. Catxinposen gave him a scare by using her demon powers and gave him a heart attack. A nurse ran over to help him. Sally and Mectrixctic teleported back to the underworld...

"Heart attack? That's good enough for me Murphy! I approve!" Kenny said.

"Yes!" Murphy shouted. He and Carrion gave a high five.

Sally and Catxinposen stood in the underworld.

"Wait here! I may look a little different". Mectrixctic came back a herself.

"Ok! I'll get a Demon to make all the stuff you'll need - toys, a glass box, a giant rock and even a sunlamp!"

Sally split her tounge in excitement.

"You're the third member of my army. You can be a spy. I'll feed you dead rats". Sally split her tounge even more.

"Hisssssssssssss! I love dead rats".

"That's the spirit". "Erghhhh!" Mectrixctic mumbled as she left to find a demon.

subchapter
At the next room, she found a Demon scientist.

"Hey there! Can you do me a favour and make me a giant glass box with an open top, a sunlight and get a big rock - big enough for a penguin to lie down on".

"No problem, Mect".

"Argh! I need a messenger. Sorry, it's just I'm recruiting an army and all".

"Really? Hey heard of Familiar? He was a puffle who got stuck in a cloning machine. We threw himminto lava but he was already half demon, half puffle half penguin- call it a demon puffle if you want - so he survived. He has many powers a normal Demon wouldn't have- like you and this was familiar, you know, with you being half Vampenguin and Demon and all, so we called him Familiar". Mectrixctic paused for a moment. She realised that she could use Familiar as her messenger puffle.

"Where is Familiar?"

"Oh, him? He's in the sixth circle". Mect went down from the third circle (everyone lives there) to the sixth. She found Familiar operating the cloning controls.

"Hey Familiar! I'm Mect".

"Heard of you".

"Yeah! You want a job - a well paid job?"

"Keep talking".

"Yeah. I want you to be my army's messenger". Familiar paused for a moment.

"So all I have to do is be an overpaid postman?"

"Yeah!"

"I'm hired!"

"Yes".

Familiar and Mectrixctic went to find Jake, Luka and Sally but they only found Luka, building an invention.

"Where's Jake and Sally?"

"I dwunno".

"See Familiar. Can't leave them for five minutes". Suddenly, Jake and Sally burst in. They were playing chase. Sally quit and chased Familiar while Jake approached Mectrixctic and let out I big howl

"I HEARD OF THIEF! HE'S VON INJOFACE!"

"And?"

"HE'S POTENTIAL RECRUIT. HE'S BLACK PUFFLE - HE CAN BECOME LAVA PUFFLE!"

"Yeah. Thanks Jake!" Mect grabbed a microphone.

"Attention army, attention army".

Sally stopped chasing Familiar and Luka's invention blew up.

"Yes - today we do something. We' breaking a thief out from court! Grab onto me". Everyone did that. They found themselves outside the nearest court room.

"Sally, go into the drain pipe and spy on them. Luka, you'll be leading the assault - you have Sally and Jake. Familiar, you'll go with Luka and report any news to me". Sally went into a drain pipe and for five minutes, the army waited. Sally finally came back.

"Foamy issssssssssss going to prissssssssson for lifessssssss".

"GO! GO! GO!' Jake dashed off and was the first into the court room. Screams were heard. Luka, Familiar and Sally then entered. More screams were heard. Mect waited for about 30 seconds until Foamy came back. The army hanged onto to Mect and teleported back to the underworld.

Luka kept an eye on Sally and Jake while Familiar and Mect greeted the puffle.

"What's your name?" Familiar asked.

"Foamy".

"I guess you want to join our army of criminals" Mectrixctic told him.

"No! I'm nice - you're evil".

"It's either us or prison". Foamy understood.

"I can't

"YES!" yelled Familiar and Mectrixctic.

"Familiar, check on the demon scientists - one of them is building Sally's stuff".

"No problem".

"Foamy, make yourself comfortable. You lot, go to bed, and Sally, I've nearly finished your stuff". Luka wasn't happy.

"I nweed to mwake wan winenvation".

"It blew up".

"But it can be rebuilt".

"Go on then. Stay up late". Familiar came back with Sally's stuff. She instantly jumped in the glass box and fell asleep on the rock. Foamy cuddled up with Jake and they fell asleep. Familiar also fell asleep. Mect, being a demon, never slept. Instead, she talked to Luka.

"What you're doing?"

"A Pengwuin-Jellyfwish translator". Mect laughed.

"G has failed at it - I bet you extra milk that it won't work". The two shaked on it. While Luka built his translator, everyone else spent their time plundering with Mect. Then, a few days later...

Familiar walked in with a copy of the Daily Demon. On the front page, the biggest headline news made Mect cry.

"Whaaaaaaaaaa?"

'''MWA MWA PENGUIN CALLED LUKA MAKES PENGUIN-JELLYFISH TRANSLATOR! "DEMON" JELLYFISH FOUND!'''

Mect read on. He found something intresting about a jellyfish called Squishor.

''And there's more. A Club Penguin like underwater city called Club Jellyfish exists. Demon Jellyfish are trying to take it over. One, called Squishor, is the only one that remembers it in our lake.''

"Us two will make great allies. Demon Jellyfish and Demon Penguin. We can take over both land and water. And I can take Club Jellyfish!"

The Demon Jellyfish have elected Squishor as representative to the Demon Penguins.

"That Squishor would be great in my army".

Mect left to find Squishor on the second plate but found something surprising.

"This is Mectrixctic, the commander of your invasion of Club Jellyfish".

"Huh?"

Squishor spoke to Mect through the translator.

"The Penguins have voted you to lead the assault".

Mect spoke back, through the translator.

"Yeah, but I'm busy too. Maybe you can join my army and you'll have the excellent mind who invented the translator".

"Ok" Squishor replied. Mect checked the clock.

"What? My "holiday" is over. Got to get back to the Darktonian Realm! Bye guys!"

"Bye!" the Demon Penguins said back. Mect got her army and teleported them to the realm.

TO BE CONTINUED!
