The Bell Tolls
"Ay, Mr stinky penguin!" Julien yelled.
Maurice seemed nervous as now up close, he realised it was a robot.
MS looked around confusedly. *Who's this? Who's he talking to? What does he want?*
"Hey! I am talking to you! That stupid raccoon has stolen my crown and as my peoples, it is your duty to go get it!" Julien demanded, pointing to the zoo entrance.
"King Julien, are you sure that he-" Maurice started but was swiftly cut off.
"Would you like to fetch the royal crown?" He asked and Maurice merely sighed and shook his head dismissively. "No your majesty..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Here, I'll even give you a lift" Julien yelled, and went to kick him but yelled in pain as his toe met the hard steel.
"YAAA! What trickery is this?" He whimpered, nursing his foot.
"Your majesty, are you alright?" Maurice asked.
MS ignored the conversation that followed and looked about for the raccoon.
Archie, was just slipping out of the Zoovenire Gift Shop when MS spotted him.
"Hey!" He yelled and gave chase to the masked thief.
"Oh come on! You didn't expect me to be feeding ducks now did ya?" Archie yelled defensively but recieved no response as MS hadn't the foggiest as to what he was on about.
The raccoon doubled back to pick up some dropped loot but with people entering the zoo, couldn't make a clear escape and so scaled the bell tower.
"End of the line" MS taunted.
Archie looked down at the grassy bank below. Too high, he thought.
"Ok, ya got me... Here take it back! Just lemme go ok?" Archie pleaded, dropping his loot.
MS said nothing, but Archie thanked him anyway and climbed down into the park.

Bandit had gathered her things and went topside to meet the robot. Or she would have if he was there...
"You let it loose in the zoo!?" Skipper yelled. "Nice idea..."
"Look, I left him right there! He can't have gone far, he doesn't know his way round here." She replied dryly.
"Well good luck finding him!" Skipper laughed.
Bandit wasn't impressed but replied in a condescending manner. "Oh, I don't need luck. I have eyes." She replied, pointing up at the bell tower on which MS was stood overlooking the park.
Skipper grumbled and retreated back down the ladder.
"MS? What are you doing all the way out here?" Bandit asked. Not sure of his intentions, her flipper fell and gripped her dagger tightly, readying herself for a fight but none came.
"Bandit..." CC whispered, picking up Archie's bag of loot and showing it to Bandit.
"You were stealing?" She asked but MS shook his head. Just as he was about to explain, Julien appeared.
"Yes! My crown is back! Look Maurice!" He yelled in excitement, placing the crown upon his head.
"I see..." Maurice said grumpily.
"Uh, Julien? What's going on?" Bandit demanded.
"The Skipper penguin over here, totally caught the thief!" He replied, digging into the bag for more treasures.
"He helped you?" Bandit clarified uncertain of the events.
MS nodded as Julien explained everything.
"You realise that isn't Skipper right?" CC asked but little good it did.
"Of course this is him you silly, just look at his flattedy flay head!" He replied, placing a cup on the robots head.
CC glanced to Bandit, looking somewhat confused.
Julien eventually got bored, having balanced 3 cups and a teddy bear on MS' head, he left.
Bandit lead MS out into the park and waved goodbye to CC and Rune, still atop the belltower before disappearing out of sight.
"What now?" Rune asked as CC picked her up.
"Now? We explain what's happened to the others..." She trailed off, thinking of what was to come and how to get Kowalski out of the lab...
"Ay, Mr stinky penguin!" Julien yelled.
