Black Blood

Summary: In an argument when Skipper question's Julien's 'kingness', Julien mentions a Judith. A few days later a crate shows holding three lemurs, Judith, Madison and Mandy. While the rest of the zoo seemed to think Judith wants forgiveness, Private, Marlene and the lemurs are wary...

Skipper: Sweet fanfiction writers! I thought we got rid of you...

Emma(me): Hey it's me with the dark fic I promise-wait, what? You mean...you mean you don't like me? *Emma eyes well up*

Private: Now, there, there Emma, I'm sure Skippah didn't mean it.

Rico: Ya, ya *glares at Skipper*

Skipper: *sighs* what's your story about then?

Emma: *perking up* Well as I said it's a dark fic starring Julien. Basically it's one of those stories bringing the secrets from the past...I'm not sure what I should rate it coz I don't know how dark my writing can take me...

Skipper: Just slapped it down as a T and if it gets to creepy, your readers can tell you to knock it up to an M.

Emma: Okay! I'm not sure if it'll have funny moments...I'll try but it might be too dark...I don't know-

Skipper: Oh for crying out louds, let them read! They probably left thanks for you saying that! Come on, some quick smile and waving will bring them back.

One

Piercing blue eyes met fiery golden ones.

Skipper glared at Julien. The ringtail lemur had again got on the penguin leader's nerves on a bad day. On a bad day you don't even have to know Skipper to know you shouldn't get on his bad side. But Julien did have a problem of annoying Skipper a lot.

There had been a meeting in the gift shop. A simple maintence meeting with all the zoo residents; checking that everything was fine in each habitat. It should have been over in just under an hour or so. However as soon as Skipper had thought he had ran through everything, Julien had piped up with a list about terrible things in the lemur exhibit:

"My super mega floaty throne isn't floaty enough so it's not super nor is it mega, my throne is not as nearly twice as tall as it should be, my kingdom is too small for the likes of me, my..."

My, my, my, my, my, MY! That's all Julien would talk about: himself. I remind you again that Skipper was not in the best of moods. Soon he bark out a snappy comment leading Julien to retort and soon it had turned into a heated argument.

The zoo animals watched on, deciding it was best not to get avoid, for once. Only three other penguins, two lemurs and a otter stood against them, the penguins coming over to stand by Skipper in case they needed to hold their leader back while the lemurs did the same with Julien and the otter stood in the middle, her arms out as she tried to use gestures to calm the two down.

"Guys, guys, come on, this is supposed to be a meeting," Marlene said. She turned to Julien, "Now I'm sure Skipper didn't mean what he said-"

"Oh I meant every word, Marlene." Skipper said, crossing his flippers.

Julien growled, "How is dare you? You have no right to disrespect de king!"

Skipper scoffed, "You're not the boss of me, ringtail. Let alone a king."

Julien eyes darkened, the orange of them turning red in rage, "I am de king!"

"Yeah, right, ringtail! You just keep telling yourself that. We all know it's not true. The only reason that you are king is that you proclaim yourself to be that!"

"I am king because I am worthy of the position. Not you flightless birds."

Skipper seethed, "Oh come on! You're no king than Mort is."

As this was said, eyes turned to the said lemur. Mort fidgeted under their eyes before he spoke up, "Er...I like the king's feet."

"Yes, we know dat, now shutter de up, Mort," Julien said in his normal voice he used when dealing with the small lemur. He turned back to Skipper, his hands on his hips, "You see? Mort does not make de good king dat I am."

Skipper face palmed, "For the love of god-You're not a king! You just say you are, you've haven't proven anything.

"Now hold up there, Skipper." Maurice said stepping closer so eyes would draw to him and Julien would be distracted from pouncing at the bird, "You don't know anything that happen in Madagascar. Julien had to claim the throne, he wasn't simply given it."

"Like's that a believable story," Skipper snorted.

"But Skippah," Interrupted Private, who had been anxiously watching from the sidelines, "If the lemurs say that true then Julien did prove himself to be king back in Madagascar. I mean, who are we to say they're lying?"

"I tell you why, young Private." Skipper said, sending the boy a glance before locking eyes with Julien, "The reason why I don't think it's true is because Julien couldn't survive without us saving his tail all the time, yet alone claim a throne."

The movement was so quick it shocked even the leader as Julien suddenly came crashing upon him. His claws out and teeth bared, Julien hissed as he fought with Skipper, who had immediately startled trying to hit and kick him off after the initial shock. They rolled around for a few moments before both of their arms/flippers were pinned to their sides as they were pulled away.

"Don't ever question me, stupid penguin!" Julien snarled, trying to pull away from Maurice and Mort, "You are not even knowing what Judith had done!"

Every single eye in the room blink at that, save for Julien and the stuffed toys.

"Who's Judith?" Marlene asked.

Julien stopped struggling, his eyes widening as he realised what he had just said. His arms sagged and, as Maurice and Mort let go of him, he crossed them as he glanced away from them, his tail subconsciously wrapping around himself as well.

"Meeting close."

"Now wait just a minute, ringtail, I'm the one who-"

Julien who had turned and started marching out of the door, spun around and jabbed Skipper's front, his eyes smouldering lethally.

"I said meeting is close." He spat and he pushed Skipper away. He then walked out of the room, quickly followed by his subjects.

The animals stared at the door for a moment before they turned to each other in confusion. What the heck just happened?

It had been a couple of days since that happened. Julien sprawl over his throne, only giving his 'kingdom' a glance before his eyes turned to the sky. Music blared from his music box but not once did he get up to dance to it. His mind was elsewhere, like it had been for most of these last few days. Deep thoughts clouded over his usual partying spirit.

Maurice had noticed this and was worried about it too.

"Your majesty," He said, walking over to the king, "Have I already told you before, it's not healthy to mope around. Now come on, the penguins are worried, Mort's worried, I'm worried, the whole zoo is-"

"Quiet, Maurice." Julien said, a paw in Maurice face to shut him up, "Something bad is coming."

"Something is-what?"

Julien sighed, turning his head down to look at Maurice, "I is feeling something bad is coming. I am waiting for the Sky Spirits to send me a message on what it is."

Maurice glanced up to the sky, "And have they said anything?"

Julien, his head turning back upwards again, shook his head, "At the moment, they are feeling to keep me in the dark. But I know something's coming."

Maurice sighed. He wasn't about to question his king but ever since Julien had walked out on the meeting, he couldn't help but be concerned, "Your majesty, maybe we should talk
about-"

WHAMP!

The two lemurs jumped almost right out of their fur. They whirled around and Mort, who had been secretly eating fudgy pops, peeked out of his hiding place.

A large crate stood there. Now the lemurs had seen a few crates during their time in the zoo but only once had a crate landed in the lemur habitat. That had been when Lemmy, a life size robot lemur, had been introduced to Julien.

This crate was larger than that however. The box seemed large enough for three robots lemurs - or, when the crate door slid open, three live lemurs.

The first one was similar to Maurice, her fur grey and her body small and podgy. Maurice's eyes widened as he stared open mouthed at her before his eyebrows furrowed just as she frowned at him after blinking at him also in shock.

The second one was a mouse lemur like Mort, but different. Her fur for one was not sandy coloured like Mort was but instead a rich brown. Her eyes also were not as wide, still cute but not wide. She and Mort just blink at each other, both being confused by the whole event.

It was the third presence that struck fear into the lemurs' hearts.

She was a ringtail lemur just like Julien. Yet it wasn't just her species that match the king. Her eyes were exactly the same as Julien's right down to the last detail. Her tail also matched his. On her head, she also had a crown, through not as elaborate as Julien's. The crown was more in the form of a tiara and the leaves were not only small and from another tree but was also darken like autumn. Her body was also more female but there was something more to her, something sinister. Maybe it was the way she stood or maybe it was her coy sly smirk. Julien thought it looked pure evil.

"Judith." He breathed, glaring at her as he stared at her in shock.

She cocked her head, her grin widening, "Well, hello there brother dear. Long time no see."

So how was it? I did have another idea with another sister but I didn't know if you guys would like it. It's kinda of writing new episodes that center-fic my OC which you can put anywhere in the penguins series but I don't know how many people like OC fics. Anyway, I only got snippets of episodes for Jamie, I haven't written it all down so it won't show up for some time anyway.

Read and review.
