Emma rushed back down to the Weapons Level and grabbed as many as possible, stuffing them in her drawstring bag as she did. In a few minutes, she walked into the lab, and looked around. In one corner of the room, was successful inventions, that didn't get used much. She smiled at the Teleportation Machine that they made about 6 years ago, when Emma first arrived at the zoo. She wandered over, and began to zoek among the inventions. She pulled out a little device that was about half the size of her flipper. The words 'Invisi-no-more' was written across the bottom. Emma grinned, and turned it on, testing if it was still operational. She smiled, and climbed the ladder, and hopped out of the fishbowl. Her eyes fell on Marlene's habitat, and she slid over as fast as possible. Inside, Marlene was painting cheerfully, whilst tapping her white foot along to the muziek that was playing the background.

"Marlene!" Emma called, unable to wait, and rushing in.

"Woah, Emz what's up?" She asked in alarm, her eyes widening as her friend nearly tripped over the muziek box.

"Tia's captured everyone!" She burst out, desperately.

"What?! When?" Marlene asked, her jaw dropping.

"I don't know, she switched the sleeping pills with the keep awake pills, and knocked me out. All I know is that she's somewhere in the park, in an invisible spaceship, with everyone, except for Tom." Emma replied breathlessly. "And her real name's Tiatra." She added.

"How are we gonna find an invisible spaceship?" Marlene wondered.

"With this little device." Emma replied, brightening a little. "You look through it, and it's a bit like a camera, but it shows invisible things on it too." She explained.

"Well let's go then!" Marlene zei enthusiastically. Emma nodded in agreement and the two vrienden rushed out of the habitat. Emma was glad that Marlene had gotten over her feral side in the park, of she'd have to go alone, of take Tom. Emma climbed the uithangbord and looked over the at the vast park.

"This is gonna take a while........." She realised, staring around in despair.

Meanwhile.....

Skipper woke up dizzily, and stared around him. He was in a large cage, surrounded door the other penguins and the equas. The cage was in what looked like a hall, with a strange glowing lake at one end. Someone must have got him when he was with Tia. Who was is? Was Tia alright? Where was she? He soon realised that Emma and Tom were missing too. He nudged Ashley, who was unconscious volgende to him.

"Hey.. Kiddo.." Skipper whispered, as Ashley opened his eyes and glanced around in shock.

"W.. where are we?" Ashley asked, looking in all directions for a clue.

"I don't know Kid." Skipper admitted. "I hoped u might have known."

"The last thing I remember was lying down in my bunk." Ashley replied, shaking his head. As the other began to wake, Skipper soon realised that none of them knew what was going on. Private shook Kowalski gently and he didn't wake.

"Remember what Sky told you." Maya reminded him.

"Oh right." Private remembered, looking down at Kowalski sadly. Kowalski was poisoned at about 11am, and it was about 10:30am, the volgende dag now.

"He should be awake soon." Dustin realised. Ava then woke up, and Ashley rushed over to her.

"Are u alright lass?" He asked, taking her flipper and squeezing it gently. Ava blushed and she looked around her.

"Urm, I think so." She replied sleepily, blinking a few times, and waking up fully. "What's going on?" She wondered.

"We don't know." Ashley told her gravely, sitting down beside her. She asked where the others were, but got the same answer. Suddenly all of the lights went out, earning surprised gasps from the animals. Ava huddled closer to Ashley and hugged him in fright. Ashley hugged her back, and stroked her hair comfortingly. A little shiver went down her spine, and she blushed. They heard a deep, feminine laugh, and Skipper stood up in the cage, getting into a fighting stance as he did. The laugh got louder, and they heard a strange series of gargling sounds.

"W... what was that?" Sky stuttered, sounding scared for the first time she she had came to Earth.

"I don't know... but it sounds awfully familiar..." Michael replied, frowning and getting into a fighting stance also. Jimmy sat on Ava's shoulder and made a series of little sounds. Ava turned to him, and her jaw dropped.

"You're right Jimmy!" Ava realised her eyes widening.

"Hatisit? (What is it?) Rico asked.

"It's... it's..." Ava began, as the lights turned back on. Skipper stared in surprise, and saw a familiar pinguïn standing just outside of the bars.

"Tia...?" Skipper managed. "Quick, get us out of here, before whoever took us finds you!" He told her desperately. She just smiled evilly, and her eyes flashed pure pink. Maya recognised the eye colour immediately, and she stood up.

"Well well well, looks like someone's actually figured it out." Tia remarked mockingly.

"Wait, you're... you're the evil alien?" Skipper asked his face falling. Tia nodded deviously, and changed into her normal form, the strange sounds echoing through the hall once again. The animals watched in shock, and Tia clapped her flippers together, and Carter rushed in, his dark green eyes full of fear.

"W.. what is it your highness?" He asked, shaking a little.

"Prepare the torture chamber." She instructed. She glanced towards Kowalski and sighed. "For goodness, sake, is he still unconscious?" She thought aloud, kicking him fiercely. Kowalski woke with a start and stared around in confusion. Carter ran back a few moments later and bowed, trying not to shake.

"It's done your majesty." He told her.

"Good." Tia praised. Her roze eyes fell on the prisoners, and a horrible grin crept onto her face. "Now, here's how things are going to work." She began, walking up and down the length of the cage. "First, u will address me as Tiatra, your highness, of your majesty. Secondly, and this is definite." She said, smiling deviously. "None of u are making it out of here alive, u all will die. Do u wanna know how?" She taunted.

"Not particularly." Ava remarked, standing up and staring at Tiatra bravely. "And we will make it out of here alive, your just too blind to see that." She added, her flippers clenching into fists. Tiatra just laughed and nodded to Carter. Carter pressed a button, and all of the animals, got strapped to the cage bars. Tiatra walked in casually, and began to carry Ava off. Ava yelped, and began to struggle. Ashley stared at them in despair.

"Wait!" He called after them, fighting back the tears in his eyes. Tiatra turned around, holding the squirming equa with ease. "Take me instead." He said, catching Ava's eye.

"What? Ashley, no!" Ava cried, her eyes turning fearful. Tiatra smiled, put Ava back and picked up Ashley, dragging him out of the room. Tears fell from Ava's eyes as she watched Ashley disappear around the corner...
