Disclaimer: I do not own Penguins of Madagascar, Nickelodeon does

Dusk arrives in the streets of New York City and the sound of a bustling electric platform truck can be heard travelling on its smooth cemented highway. Strapped tight upon its back is a small crate, and its cargo, carries a small animal that needs to be delivered to its destination, The Hoboken Zoo in New Jersey.

As the truck approaches a hump while passing through 5th Avenue, its wheels suddenly collided against the hump, and as it happens, the rope that held its cargo snaps, and the crate is sent flinging to Central Park, it then falls to the ground and breaks to pieces, thankfully its content remained unharmed as it lands softly on a pile of grass. We see now that the content reveals a young baby penguin that has recently woken up from its sleep, it eyes were emerald green, and its body had baby fluff that covered his whole body.

Rubbing its eyes, it tried to get up and surveyed its peculiar surroundings, he then muttered to himself if this was where he was supposed to be heading "Is this where I'm supposed to be going?", he muttered to himself in an innocent voice. It was then he realizes that the truck took him to the wrong destination and that it had somehow abandoned him, he then understands it was too late to catch up to the truck as it had already gone far. And as a last resort, he tries to find a place to spend the night. He scoured the whole area, looking for a place to sleep.

After minutes of searching, he finds a tree with a hollow opening near its roots, thankfully though its opening was big enough to allow the penguin to fit in and snuggle back to sleep.

Midnight came and five silhouette figures came out from the darkness and tip toed through the park hoping not wake anyone who were asleep, it was then one of these figures is revealed to be the genetically enhanced muscular lab rat named the Rat King, the other four companions with him were the sewer rats. Meanwhile the baby penguin, sleeping soundly inside the hollow tree, unbeknownst to him on his side was a stash of souvenirs stolen from the zoo days ago. The Rat King and his minions temporarily hid their stash in that same tree for safekeeping and would retrieve it once the time was right.

"Ok boys, let's find that souvenir stash we stole from the zoo, umm which tree was it?" the Rat King asked.

"We forgot boss, for all we know its been five days since we've hidden the stash" one of the sewer rats responded.

"Well keep looking its around here somewhere, if those annoying birds found out about this, we'd be in big trouble", said the Rat King.

After minutes of searching, one of sewer rats finally found the location of their stash.

"Hey boss I think I found it, but somethings blocking it, and it's moving!" said the sewer rat.

The Rat King said, "Well then drag it out, grab the loot and let's skedaddle out of here."

"I can't, it's too big, I don't think I'll be able to move it" said the sewer rat.

"Out of the way, let me do it, you're such a wimp", the Rat King said.

Due to his colossal size, it's no doubt the Rat King's large muscular hands could move the obstacle with ease that was preventing him from reaching his loot. He tried to reach as far as he could with his hands to the extent that he grabbed the small penguin and dragged him slowly out of the tree.

Suddenly, the confused and dazed penguin had been awakened from its slumber, he asked "He- Hello, who are you guys?"

"Boss, I think he could be one of those birds, I think they already found out about our secret stash!" said the sewer rat who panicked upon realizing that the penguins could have found out about their secret stash.

"Not yet, we can't conclude that for sure, I'll ask him some questions first" the Rat King asked. "Say, you're not one of those birds from the zoo are you?"

"Ummm no sir, I'm afraid I don't know any penguins that live in the zoo, you see I came from Antarctica and I was brought here to be safeguarded from poachers" responded the penguin in an innocent voice while smiling.

"What do we do boss, beat him to a pulp?" asked the sewer rat.
