The Adventures of Penguin Man

Book II - Trouble in Australia

I dedicate this book to my Brother, Brad. Happy Birthday!

Kiwi just arrived in Australia. His friend Joe picked him up at the airport. He came for a vacation. Or so he thought…

Joe aka Kangaroo Man

On the way to Joe's apartment, they talked about their secret lives as Penguin Man and Kangaroo Man. Joe is Kangaroo Man. You see, Joe has the same background as Kiwi. His arch enemy inspired him to become Kangaroo Man. So, he fights evil where ever it happens - especially if it includes his arch enemy Mr. Koala.

When they got to Joe's apartment, they flipped on Joe's favorite channel, National Geographic to watch, All about Kangaroo's. It was about the 3^rd commercial in and the news guy interrupted the show for some very important news. Penguin Man's arch enemy busted out of his Buffalo prison - Dr. Walrus was loose!

Want to know how he got loose?? It was because a letter from Mr. Koala. The letter said that Penguin Man was going on a trip with Kangaroo Man. Also in the letter was a nail file. Walrus broke out with that nail file. Mr. Koala wanted to team up with Dr. Walrus to capture Penguin Man and Kangaroo man.

Mr. Koala 

On the way to the airport, Dr. Walrus stopped at his evil lair and grabbed his disguise and his disintegrating ray.

And hearing this news, Penguin Man and Kangaroo Man teamed up to defeat their nemesis. Little did PM and KM know, that they were being lured into a trap!

As soon as PM and KM were suited up, PM got in his egg mobile, which PM always carries in his back pocket – remember the shrinking ray and the special button on his watch?  KM got in his car, the eucalyptus mobile. They took off to town square. They were armed with KM's magic boomerang and PM's arbalest.

Dr. Walrus and Mr. Koala were busy setting up the trap. The trap was basically any old trap, a cage and a rope net. The cage was for Kangaroo Man and the net was for Penguin Man. The bad guys thought they would never fall for something so simple.

But, apparently they did! As they arrived to the scene, they ran into the traps! They were CAPTURED!!! Cars and all!!

Little did Dr. Walrus and Mr. Koala know that the Mayor of the town was watching. He tried to call the police, but there was no phone service. And he forgot his wallet at his house so he couldn't use a pay phone. The mayor ran home, grabbed his car and drove 200 miles to the nearest police station. By the time the mayor and the police got back to the scene, everyone was gone.

A rescue mission was started.

Meanwhile, back at Mr. Koala's secret laboratory where he makes all his nefarious inventions, PM and KM were trapped over a pool of sharks!!! With the good guys trapped and out of the way, the bad guys could start their foul plan of taking over the world with their doomsday device. This device would zap every continent in the world and make the world how they wanted it to be – MALEFICIENT!

The mayor, whose name is Bradley, and the police chief found Dr. Koala's lair. The villains were gone but the heroes were still there! Mayor Brad helped PM and KM out of their trap. Everyone rushed to where the bad guys were going to release their weapon. They knew where the bad guys went because they left their extra GPS marked with the place they were going. (Bad guys are so dumb.)

By the time the good guys got there, the weapon was fired up and ready to fire its first ray. When the bad guys weren't looking, Penguin threw one of the grenades he keeps with him, and blew up the doomsday device!!!  Mayor Brad helped the police and the good guys capture Walrus and Koala. Both bad guys were shipped back to Buffalo and put in a high tech security prison. Never to be seen again…or so we think…

Kiwi and Joe get to go back on their vacation. They got to go to Australia's National Zoo. Joe's favorite part was the kangaroo exhibit. Kiwi enjoyed the penguin exhibit. It was a good vacation.

By the time Kiwi got home, he noticed a note sitting at his door step. It was a letter from one of his allies. Looks like he wants Kiwi to come over next week!! Looks like his next trip is to Russia!

Once again, the world was saved by Penguin Man, defender of the Artic – and friends!!
