After a few agonizing seconds. Emma opened her eyes uncertainly. Nightshadow had stopped moving towards them, and cocked his head to the side, watching them curiously. Emma looked at Kowalski, who's face was full of confusion. Nightshadow sniffed the air and took a step closer to them. Emma's heart pounded in her chest as he got nearer. He looked thoughtful, an expression she hadn't seen on him yet. Emma thought about something that Ashley had told her.
He's got a good sense of smell. She remembered, feeling a little less scared. And smells are the biggest trigger of memory. She realised, looking up at Nightshadow bravely. He sniffed the air again, and his expression changed completely as everything single memory came flooding back, hitting him harder than a two tonne rock. He remembered everything, his family, his friends, the torture, and what he just did now. He looked down at the huddling penguins, and one of his eyes turned back to it's usual light green. Emma watched him curiously, and the fear inside of her flowed out. She and Kowalski stood up, still against the wall. Ashley looked down at himself, and gasped in horror.
"H.. how could I do this?" He asked himself in a very un Ashley like voice, looking the claws which were now retracting into his feet and flippers guiltily.
"Ash, it wasn't your fault, Blowhole did this to you." Emma told him reassuringly. Tom and Private got up, and walked over curiously. Tom still looked a bit wary.
"Are you ok now?" He asked Ashley.
"Urm... I think so...." Ashley answered his Scottish accent filling his voice again. His green eye fell on Skipper and Rico, who were still unconscious. The team rushed over to them. Emma shook Rico awake, and he made a groaning sound.
"Bro are you ok?" Emma asked him. Rico nodded in response, and he noticed Ashley out of the corner of his eyes. He made a very un penguin like sound, and tried to go for him. Emma held him back, and told him what had happened. The others got Skipper awake. (Though he was quite weak.) Emma glanced up at the hole at the top of the pit, and saw Blowhole staring down at them, looking astonished and mortified.
"How did you overcome the influence I had over you?!" Blowhole screeched, his eyes full of anger and confusion. Ashley just smirked at him, and turned back to the others.
"Guy's I'm really sorry abo-" Ashley began, trying to get his other eye to turn green again.
"Kid you couldn't help it, and you were strong enough to overcome it." Skipper told him, nearly falling over as he got up. Rico caught him at the last minute, and held him up, which Skipper wasn't pleased about. "I'm a soldier, I don't need help!" Skipper protested. Rico just shook his head, and kept him upright.
"But I badly hurt you, I hurt Rico, Tom, and Private, and was really close to hurting, and killing Emma and Kowalski." Ashley replied sadly. "Before my memory came back, I had every intention to kill all of you, and I really hate that."
"Ash, you were tortured for weeks, stop thinking it was you fault." Emma reminded him. She looked up at the hole and her eyes widened. Blowhole had vanished. Suddenly, he came out of a shadow behind them, and blasted a laser at them. Luckily it only singed a few of Private's feathers.
"Oh you peng-uu-ins will never get out now." Blowhole told them, his soulless eyes full of anger.
"Bring it on Blowhole!" Emma challenged, getting into a fighting stance. She spotted a few shadows nearby, and she signaled for Tom to take Skipper over there. The two penguins shuffled over silently, not being noticed by the mad dolphin, despite Skipper's protests. Blowhole pressed a button on his segway, and lobsters came flooding out of two doors at the side of the pit. Ashley's strange new claws came out, and he looked at them in surprise.
"Urm, Emma.. what should I do with these?" He asked.
"Use them." Emma replied simply, diving into the lobsters filling the arena, and sending about an eighth of them flying into a wall. Rico jumped in and did the same, looking at his little sister proudly. Although she didn't show it often, Emma had Rico's psychotic instinct, and could fight like a savage animal if she wanted to. Kowalski took on Blowhole, and Ashley watched them uncertainly. His claws went back into his flippers, and he sighed. He couldn't hurt anyone, not in his right mind anyway. He heard a yelp from Kowalski who had just been tossed against the wall on the other side of the arena, and he turned to face Blowhole, who was watching him.
"Awww, too weak and soft to hurt anyone?" Blowhole taunted, looking directly at the young penguin. Ashley looked up at the face of the monster who caused him an unimaginable amount of pain for weeks, and his claws came back up slowly, his face growing serious. He jumped on Blowhole, and bean to claw at him, making Blowhole fall off his segway in surprise. Ashley let out the anger, and pain that had been building up in him, and in a few short minutes, Blowhole was unconscious on the floor. He felt surprised at what he just did, but it felt like a big weight had been lifted off his chest. He turned around, to see most of the lobsters on the floor, with the exception of Red 1 who was still fighting off Emma and Rico. They both dived at the lobster, who cowered, and scuttled out before they could get him. Emma sighed in frustration, and glanced around the room, checking on everyone. Her eyes fell on Kowalski, who was still on the floor. She ran over to him immediately, and sat beside him, cheeking his breathing and his heartbeat. Luckily they seemed normal. Emma gently poked him, just under his flipper hoping to wake him. His eyes opened slowly, and Emma hugged him tightly.
"Did we win?" Kowalski asked.
"Yuperdoodle!" Emma and Rico replied at the same time. They caught eachother's eyes and grinned.
"Is everyone alright?" Kowalski asked, sitting up.
"I think so." Emma replied, noticing Tom and Skipper coming out of the shadows. Emma heard Skipper complaining. "What about you? Are you ok?" Emma asked, looking at Kowalski in concern.
"I'm fine." Kowalski told her reassuringly, standing up, and hugging Emma. She hugged back, resting her head against his warm feathers. They broke the hug when Skipper came over, not sounding pleased.
"I could have still fought." He protested grumpily.
"Skips, Tom is helping you walk around, and you have a massive scratch all across your chest, and your foot looks swollen. You couldn't have been able to fight." Emma told him sternly.
"I'm the leader, and the leaders are physically stronger than their teammates." Skipper stated. Emma rolled her eyes, and headed for the open door at one end of the arena pit. Skipper was so stubborn, but she couldn't really complain about it, she was too. Ashley was still looking at himself, hoping he would looked normal again soon.
"I'll run some tests on you when we get home." Kowalski told him, noticing Ashley's expression.
"Really?" Ashley asked, his face brightening, into the happy smile that he usually wore.
"Sure, now lets go." Kowalski told him, following Emma to the door. Ashley took one last look at Blowhole, and sped to the door, not looking back.
He's got a good sense of smell. She remembered, feeling a little less scared. And smells are the biggest trigger of memory. She realised, looking up at Nightshadow bravely.

Emma watched him curiously, and the fear inside of her flowed out. She and Kowalski stood up, still against the wall. Ashley looked down at himself, and gasped in horror.
"H.. how could I do this?" He asked himself in a very un Ashley like voice, looking the claws which were now retracting into his feet and flippers guiltily.
"Ash, it wasn't your fault, Blowhole did this to you." Emma told him reassuringly. Tom and Private got up, and walked over curiously. Tom still looked a bit wary.
