Hey there "Penguin of Madagascar" fans.
I'm a newbie and I'll admit I haven't seen much of the show, but a friend of mine had introduced me to one character who soon became one of my most favorite characters.
That character is none other than Dr. Blowhole.
So here I bring a fanfic about Dr. Blowhole and his path into becoming an evil scientist dolphin. Even though I have only watched the Dr. Blowhole episodes, I hope it's a decent fanfic for this fandom.
I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 1: Francis
Night had fallen upon a small cove, but there was no silence. Every few minutes or so, the silence of an underwater cove was broken by a high-pitched whistle filled with pain.
A pod of dolphins swam around, glancing at female dolphin that was slowly swimming around in a circle near the shallow waters.
One young dolphin was more nervous than the others and flinched whenever the lone dolphin uttered a pained whistle. The young dolphin swam over to an elderly female dolphin, hesitating when she swam closer.
She had never spoken to their matriarch face to face. Usually she would spot her at a distance swimming by herself or speaking to another one of the elders. The elderly dolphin had several nicks in her dorsal fins and various scars all over her body, a majority of them from fighting off sharks.
The young dolphin nearly squeaked out loud when the matriarch turned her head towards her. The elder blinked once then gave a kind smile.
"Hello there Doris."
"H-hello…"
"Is something wrong?"
Doris was about to speak but was cut off when another high pitched whistle came from the shallow waters. A look of worry passed across elderly dolphin's face.
"It's about your mother, isn't it?"
Doris nodded. "When will my baby sibling come out, Iruka?"
Iruka gave a sigh. "That I don't know, dear. You can never tell with young dolphins."
"Difficult this one, it is."
Another female dolphin swam over to them, shaking her head slowly. "Difficult, very difficult. You weren't this difficult when you were born, young Doris. Your mother just gave one push and out you came!"
Doris cringed. "Um, Sina? I didn't want to know that…"
"I was a lot more faster, wasn't I, mother?" A young male dolphin swam behind Sina, smiling proudly.
Sina gave a loving smile to her son. "Oh yes, Riku. You were very fast during your birth. Quite a relief as well. You were always moving around when you were in my belly."
"The speed of a birth depends on the young dolphin," Another female had joined them. "Some aren't quite ready to come out just yet."
"How is Loris doing, Tethys?" Iruka asked.
"She's in pain," Tethys replied, "but she is a strong female. I'm sure she'll survive."
"Of course she'll survive," Sina scoffed. "She already gave birth to a fine young one. I'm sure she'll be fine."
"What about my baby sibling?" Doris wanted to know.
An excited squeal came another one of the dolphins.
"The tail! The tail is coming out!"
The pod immediately became alert, chattering with excitement. The tail was a sure sign that the baby will be out soon.
After several more whistles of pain, a tiny gray body slid out into the water and immediately shot towards the water's surface, taking its first breath of life.
Squeals and whistles of excitement erupted from the dolphins as they went towards the young baby.
"It's a little male!"
"Welcome!"
"Welcome little one!"
The newborn turned towards the sound of the voices, suddenly becoming frightened by bigger dolphins. He immediately swam back to his mother and hid behind her.
The mother smiled at her tiny son. "It's all right my son. They're our family. They won't hurt us."
The baby dolphin merely blinked and looked up towards his mother with curiosity. After a few seconds he went underneath his mother and began to drink her rich milk.
Doris immediately swam over to her baby sibling, smiling with excitement.
"Oh mother! He's so cute!"
"Yes, he is." Her mother, Loris, smiled. "Are you happy, Doris?"
"I'm really happy!" Doris cheered, doing a somersault. "I'm more than happy! I'm a big sister now!"
Iruka swam over to Loris and smiled with joy. "Well done, Loris. He is a very beautiful child."
"Yes," The new mother nodded. "The pain was terrible, but it was worth it."
"Have you thought of a name for him?"
"Hmmm," Loris thought about this for a moment. "I think I'll call him…Francis."
"'Francis'?" Sina snorted. "First you name your first calf 'Doris', and now you're naming your second one 'Francis'? Really Loris, you must think of a more creative and majestic name."
"It is majestic to me," Loris replied patiently, "and that's all it matters."
"'Francis!'" Doris repeated the name before smiling. "I like it, mother!"
She swam closer to her baby brother. "Hi Francis!"
Francis merely glanced over at his older sibling, still suckling his mother's milk. However, his snout turned upwards as he gave a huge smile towards his sister.
Doris immediately loved her little brother.
The rest of the pod gathered around Loris to offer their congratulations and to admire her brand new son. Once he was full of milk, Francis swam alongside his mother as the pod swam off to go deeper into the cove to rest.
Francis was only a few minutes old and there were a lot of things he did not know yet. He didn't know all of the dolphins in the pod, he didn't know which creatures in the sea were friends and foes. He also didn't know of strong emotions such as anger and hate.
Francis also didn't know that one day he will become the most evil dolphin ever with an intense hatred towards creatures that he did not know about but will soon know them as "humans".
