Chapter 2 – Hero
Skipper stepped into Marlene’s habitat.
“Marlene, can I ask u something?
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Marlene’s hart-, hart did a number on her chest. Was he going to ask?
“What is it, Skipper?”
“I need help getting into the Church across the lot.”
Marlene let go of her breath. She wasn’t even aware that she was holding it.
Losing my faith today
Falling off the edge today
Marlene asked him why.
“Look,” Skipper said
“I am just a man
Not superhuman”
Marlene mumbled the words to herself.
“I'm not superhuman”
Someone save me from the hate
Skiper told Marlene that he was having trouble getting into the building because his past kept him being brave. Marlene had never known Skipper to be scared of something. She seen pictures of a church before, and it seemed pretty nice in there. “Marlene, can u help me of not?” Marlene looked at him.
“Why can’t you’re the others help you?”
“I need your – naivety.”
“Aw, thanks. I think.”
And so began Skipper’s training.
It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another dag in the world we live
Skipper, a week later. He had gone up a few steps, before the past seized him and threw him into a fit. He ran back down the steps. Marlene sighed. This was going to take a while.
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
A few weeks later. Skipper managed to make it up to the door. He reached for the knob. The bronze handle shocked him, lit his flipper with a painful fire. Smoke – he could smell the smoke again. He ran back.
I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Skipper knew, that if a situation came up and it involved this church, he needed to be able to function properly. So he kept fighting. He would get over it. Eventually.
Speaking my mind today
My voice will be heard today
He was Soooo close. So close.
I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today
It was Skipper’s last chance. The lemurs were dancing, cheering him on for once. Maybe they weren’t so bad after all.
It's just another war
Just another family torn
His team was divided on if he was going to make it of not. Private and Rico thought he would. Kowalski doubted him.
(My voice will be heard today)
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
He opened the door. The knob turned. Inside, was a different sight. An entire congregation of Humans, all sitting in pews. A little girl turned her head toward him.
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
This was it. No backing out now. He took a look up to the front. He saw the man on the cross, bearing down his own weight.
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
Skipper realized he was wrong about the man on the cross. Skipper didn’t know what happened, whether he had an epiphany of some outside force was influencing, but he started crying. The tears ran down in streaks. He fell to his knees. He cried out,
“I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now”
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time
Skipper wasn’t the hero. Marlene wasn’t the hero, for helping him in his condition. HE was the true hero. The man on the cross, giving life door shedding his.
(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for what's right?
Who's gonna help us survive?
He knew who. HE’d help us survive, as long as WE fight for what’s right.
(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero
He went back to the zoo. Everyone congratulated him. For once in a month, he felt good about himself. Whole. And first thing in the morning, he was getting himself a bible.
I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time
HOBOKEN
Hans the papegaaiduiker followed Skipper on his screen. To his left, looking over his shoulder was Dr. Blowhole. To his right, The Red Squirrel. Skipper was looking at his friends.
“The time has come.” he said
Alright
The maniac papegaaiduiker turned around, smiling into the Darkness.
“Operation: Hoboken vs. Skipper is a go.”
