:Blue Hour Rebellion:


Dusk. It is the death of another day, the dawn of darkness, or, as few know it, the blue hour, when everything you see is tinted blue by the final rays of sunlight reflected off the dome of the skies. Below, on the Club Penguin Island, shadows blurred and melted, buildings became towering, featureless silhouttes against the indigo horizon, silence began stealing into the empty were no lights or lamps that were shining to fight the approaching sea of darkness. Not even the moon had risen. Only the stars, time-distances away, watched forever coldly as this part of the world fell into shadow, cast away from their sun's illuminating warmth. And tonight, someone was going to use the blindfold of darkness to their advantage.

Delta: I'VE BEEN CAPTURED. Report everything about Herbert's plan to EPF ASAP. This has to be stopped befo

Delta: Herbert speaking here. Be a good girl and do what your brother says. Don't worry about him, he's in good paws, or rather, he's behind steel bars. MWA HA HA HA HA! Babble everything to those fools. Just remember to add that this time I WIN.

I've got allies, mobs of allies this time. It's time to take over.

Enjoy the panic.


...

It was Earth Day.

Earth Day, Lights Out Hour.

In this sixty minutes of silence and darkness, most of the penguin population retired to their igloos, either for a quick nap or a scary storytelling session with pals in the semidarkness before lights returned. Electrical power was being used at a minimum.

Even the EPF weren't spared from the treatment.

Inside the Command Room, several faces stared at the sole lamp on the Conference Table that was dimming rapidly with displeasure. One of them looked even more distressed than the others. Rookie wrung his flippers with dismay.

"Jet Pack Guy, what happens if this lamp runs out of power?"

"We will be left sitting in the darkness."

Rookie whimpered unhappily.

"Can we turn on the lights afterwards?"

"No, Rookie." This time the green penguin's question was answered by Dot.

"Why not?"

"BECAUSE, ugh, because... we shouldn't. Only the Elevator and the computers are allowed to remain on."

"Then can we watch TV on the screen? That'll light the place up."

"Roo," Dot sighed, "Please, just endure this for another sixty minutes -"

"Fifty two," Jet Pack Guy corrected after a quick glance at his LED digital watch.

"Fifty two minutes, thanks. Another fifty two minutes in darkness won't hurt."

"But I don't like the dark."

"Don't be glum, fellah," Kile smacked Rookie on the back jovially, "I'm sitting right next to you and I'll lend you my DVG if you want, so no need to be scared." Rookie perked up slightly at Kile's reassuring words.

"Uh, so when is Alpha and Delta coming back?" SugarAnne asked nervously in her seat beside Rookie. The lamp's light dimmed another notch.

"As soon as the sun rises, maybe." This was said sarcastically by the penguin sitting furtherest away from the weak beam of the lamp. It was none other than the infamous LovelessHart, newly recruited agent, solid proof of EPF practicing the saying 'Keep your friends close, and keep your 'troublemakers' closer." The penguin looked extremely grouchy as she tied her multi-coloured hair into a plait for the umpteenth time with impatience.

Jet turned to Kile and asked in monotone, "What month is it?"

The Stealth elite grinned. "March."

LovelessHart scowled from her spot. At the same moment, the flickering lamp went out, plunging the CR into darkness. Only by the small red lights of the computer system continued flashing.

"Oh man, this is not cool," Rookie's diembodied voice cried out. He sounded uber upset.

"Don't be such a crybaby," LovelessHart leered unpleasantly.

"Don't be such a meanie," Dot snapped back as she leapt to Rookie's defence.

"It's in my nature to be one," the former retorted sourly, sounding a bit miffed, before she added solemnly, "The very best meanie I can be, of course."

"Same goes for Rookie. He doesn't like the dark because it's in his nature-"

A short yap of laughter from LovelessHart echoed through the dark room.

"You just called him a coward by heart! If you want to be Rookie's attorney, Polka, you're going to need more PRACTICE. You don't do exactly well on wordplay. Hehehe-"

"Don't listen to the crazy chic, Rooks," Kile comforted as Rookie sniffled miserably, "She's just talking bullshark. Ignore her."

"Yeah, puck that. I'm the psyco here. I be trollin', you be hating."

"March," Dot said warningly, "Your language..."

"What about it?" There was a click and a beam of light illuminated LovelessHart's face from beneath, floating ghost head style.

"Light!" Rookie exclaimed with joy while SugarAnne sighed inwardly with relief. Kile hastily shoved his Dark Vision Goggles onto his head and rubbed his eyes. "Geez, you could have warned me..."

"Where did you get that?" Dot narrowed her eyes with suspicion.

"Oh, this?" L peered at the wacky torch in her hand as if she was looking at an alien rock. "It's a Gary's gadget invention thingimajig I picked up. Souvenir of PSA, I guess?" She stared at it for a second more, then promptly shone it on Dot, causing her to cover her eyes with a flipper.

"Hey! I'll confiscate that thing!" The disguise agent yelped angrily.

"You can try," was the other penguin's flat reply before she switched it off again.

"Stop bickering, you two," Jet Pacjk Guy said wearily in the tense silence. "Someone's coming down the Elevator."

"It's about time, too." LovelessHart snapped her torch on.

The Elevator doors whirred open. Alpha stumbled out, gasping breathelessly.

LovelessHart guided the beam of light over to the stairs helpfully as the female agent headed towards them.

"Emergency alert!" She yelled in short gasps. "Herbert - he's - planning - a -rebe-lion -"

"Whoah, slow down, Alphy. We don't get a word of what you're saying if you're so winded." Kile rose up from his chair and went to fetch Alpha a cup a water.

"LISTEN!" The agent shouted urgently at them. "Herbert's going to take over Club Penguin RIGHT NOW!"

This earned incredulous responses from the group.

Kile: "How's that possible?"

Dot: "Right now?"

SugarAnne: "B-but..."

LovelessHart: "Just him and dat crab?"

Jet Pack Guy: "Fill us in at once."

"He's gathered all the Banned..." Alpha took the cup of water from Kile thankfully and gulped it down in a few seconds, her throat being so parched.

"The Penguin Band?" Rookie gaped. Alpha slammed her now empty cup on the table.

"No, the Banned, the Exiled, those who have a grudge against the Authorities! There's an ex-COMM officer on Herbert's side who has hacked and broken the teleportation links. They're planning an invasion! A rebellion! Uprising! We need to act-" Alpha's broken phrases emphasized what was about to happen.

"This is a red alert, agents," a new voice stated gravely. LovelessHart shone the beam in the newcomer's direction, just abve the penguin's head.

It was G. Where he popped up from, no one knew. But now was not the time to ask. Everyone looked at the inventor expectantly as he strode over to the System Defender.

"What should we do?" SugarAnne asked after him. Gary tapped at the keys. No response. A quick glance at the dull red button confirmed his worst fears. After a second, he turned and faced them to announce, "Herbert has cut the power lines."

Shocked silence. His expression was unreadable, but the agents in the room felt the dread growing.

"Agents, I'm afraid that we..." He started grimly.


All over in Club Penguin, dark blue penguins all wearing stolen dark vision goggles suddenly swarmed the empty streets.


On top of the Ski Mountain:

Through his modified Dark Vision Telescope, Herbert watched with smug satisfaction as the massive mob of silent rebels filled the streets. They looked sinister with the three green 'eyes' of dark vision goggles over their faces and the word 'banned' sprayed in red on their backs. What wonderful minions to wreck havoc and make his dream come true.

It was all so perfect...

Klutzy clacked proudly on his broad furry shoulder.

"Rebellion is the best weapon."

Herbert grinned evilly. "And I thank you, partner, for the excellent idea..."

It was all too easy...

"When the moon rises, I will be the new Authority!"

The polar bear bellowed tauntingly at the penguin population below and instead of laughing, he roared with triumph.

Over and over again.

The ugly sound, so alien, struck fear into the hearts of all who heard it as they huddled in their igloos.


In the dusk, in the blue hour turning to black night, somewhere along the Plaza, the sound of the first glass shattering ripped the serene silence away.

It signalled the end of peace.

Through this night and many others following this, there will be

chaos...

terror...

change.


"Sadly," LovelessHart remarked in a nonchalant voice as she armed herself with a pepper spray and a ice hockey stick,

"This is war."


Screen fades to black.

Dramatic DUM DUN orchestra music.


Ok, I admit, I got a bit carried away. =w= Inspired as I was staring outside the car during a looooong drive home. It was dusk outside, duh. Sorry for the spelling mistakes; it was done in a hurry.

P.S.

NO, this didn't really happen, even though it could have occurred before 'Scythe' and FFF:DS started, and somewhere in the middle of MDO, but that would be too radical a change...

About March-L: I know she's mean, but since other penguins have been mean to her, I guess she just lashes back out again =/ She's just unhappy and hurt and March is the side where L vents all those negative emotions out. Poor Rookie though.

About Kile Ohswad: His name spells 'Like Shadow'. He's a stealth penguin. Made up on the moment character. Very cheerful, gentleman'ly (except at L, who he's not sure how to treat), and can focus on his job. A good dependable guy. =)

I found out that Club Penguin had made a video hinting at an Operation Black Out.
Herbert: "You'll never see the light of day again! MWA HA HA HA!"
Dunno what that's all about, but meh =/ if they did that. then let's say this is just a random spin -off.

NO FLAMES. Just reviews please~ ._.

EDIT: Good news people, I might add another chapter ;w;
