Chapter 14:El Ritmo de Antartida[edit]
The travelers arrived in Buenos Suelo, Parhentina in the evening of that same day. They left the airport, and Clovis called in a taxi. They decided to stay overnight at a nearby hotel before leaving tomorrow afternoon for Valnordore.
However, the gang was able to stroll the streets of the city before dark. The city's architecture by itself was a lot like what you would see in Parie or in Goverua. There were many street performers like acrobats and musicians that dotted the streets.
Clovis:"Guys, we should try some Parhentinian food. I hear they make delicious fish here!"
The Gang stopped at a restaurant to eat their dinner.
Waitor:"¿Que les gusta comer?" (Translation: What do you like to eat?)
Clovis did all the talking since he knew Spanish.
Clovis:"A mi me gustaria un pescado." (For me, I would like to have a fish.)
Waitor:"OK. Y usted, que le gustaria?"
Clovis:"Gottfried, what do you want to have?"
Gottfried:"The same as what you're having."
Clovis:"...and S2?"
S2:"A salad, please."
Clovis:"A ellos les gustaria un pescado tambien y una ensalada." (For them, they would like to have a fish also and a salad.)
Waitor:"OK. Y vuestros puffles?" (And your puffles?)
Clovis:"Piper?"
Piper:"Eh. I'll have some french fries. I'm not that hungry right now."
Clovis:"In Parhentina? Don't you want something more exotic?"
Piper:"No. I told you. I'm not feeling very hungry right now. Some french fries is enough."
Clovis:"Él quiere unas papas fritas." (He wants some french fries.)
Waitor:"Ok."
Clovis:"And finally, Lenardo. What do you want?"
Leonardo:"I'll have a pizza."
Clovis:"Leonardo le gustaria una pizza." (Lenonardo would like a pizza.)
Waitor:"OK. Gracias señores." (Thank you sirs.)
The waitor left and about half an hour later, their food was delivered. The gang ate well, paid their bill and left their table with a tip.
Gottfried:"Good meal."
Leonardo:"Yeah."
Clovis:"Alright. Well, tomorrow, we go to Japaland and meet up with Fuut Ga."
Leonardo:"Hmm. Japaland and Parhentina seem like two different cultures."
Piper:"Agreed."
An Excerpt from Gottfried's Journal:
Today we were in Parhentina. It's a Spanish speaking country since it was colonized by Goverua. It's capital, Buenos Suelo, looks a lot like Parie in architecture. They also make good food here, in a very Ligurian style. Tomorrow we go to Japaland to meet Fuut Ga. May everything go well...
Japaland[edit]
That next day around noon, the Hochstadt Travelers left for their flight to Japaland. It took a long time to get there, and the Hochstadts arrived at the Jokio airport in the morning of the next day. Fuut Ga met with them at the airport.
Fuut Ga:"How was the flight?"
Gottfried:"Long."
Fuut Ga:"Hmm. Don't worry about it too much. We will have a lot to do here."
Clovis:"What is to see here?"
Fuut Ga:"Japaland...well...it's actually a lot like Snowzerland in a sense. Japaland is super modern, yet has some very old buildings as well."
Leonardo:"Cool. What about the food?"
Fuut Ga:"Japaland is well known for their sushi! It's delicious!"
Leonardo and Piper made sour faces. Puffles evidently did not like fish.
Fuut Ga:"Meanwhile, downtown Jokio has lots of lights and modern stuff. Out in the countryside are ancient Japalandian Castles taht were once inhabited by Ninja warlords."
Fuut Ga led the gang out of the airport, and drove a taxi to an ultra modern hotel in downtown Jokio. Fuut Ga planned tomorrow to take them to the countryside, but that night they visited the neon lights of Jokio, and what a sight it was.
Gottfried:"Futuristic."
S2:"Indeed. Like a whole 'nother world."
Fuut Ga:"Thank goodness we are not High Penguins. They are hated here."
Gottfried:"And they seem to have a lot of redneck customs as well. Strange for a place like this."
Fuut Ga:"They also sided with Khanzem after the war. That's when the emperor was abolished and their military was gone. I honestly thought those two promises on that treaty was a very stupid move. Now world domination freaks like Snowzerland and Castilla are going to take defenseless nations like Japaland for themselves."
Clovis:"Agreed. So what are we doing tomorrow?"
Fuut Ga:"We're visiting Mount Fiji, the tallest mountain/dormant volcano on Japaland island. It is one of the nation's landmarks. You can see it from here, actually."
Sure enough, the distinct snowy peak Mount Fiji rose high above the sky.
Clovis:"Man, so that's what that mountain was called."
That next day, the Hochstadt travelers took a bus to the bottom of Mount Fiji, and began to climb up the moutain, hoping to reach the summit. Obviously, the walk would be too much for the puffles, so Leonardo went on Fuut Ga's shoulder and Piper went on S2's shoulder.
Fuut Ga:"Well, because of our limited time, we're going to really climb this mountain hard. It might be easy for me and S2, but I know you and Gottfried are going to have a hard time keeping up with us."
Clovis:"Hmm. Well, we'll try our best."
Fuut Ga:"Alright."
S2 then began flying up to the summit of the mountain. Fuut Ga then began running up to the top of the summit. Fuut Ga was very fast becaue of his ninja skill, and the clumsy Clovis and the heavy armor-clad Gottfried had a hard time keeping up with him. Clovis could run decent seven minute miles, but Fuut Ga trained much more than he did. Fuut Ga was able to easily do a 5 minute mile with no sweat. Clovis and Gottfried were already breaking in a sweat and panting vigorously by the time they reached the summit. However, their run was worth it. Before them was a magnificent view of Japaland.
Clovis:"WOW."
Fuut Ga:"Yes. What a beauty, eh? Tomorrow, we leave for Asiania."
Bounty Hunter Plans[edit]
That next day, the penguins took their flight to Asiania. They arrived a couple hours later.
Fuut Ga:"Asania. It's a lot like Japaland in culture somwhat...in the Ninja aspect."
Clovis:"What is to see here?"
Fuut Ga:"The Great Wall of Asania. We're going to have to take a train though. Hopefully we will be able to make it back here by tomorrow afternoon."
The group then headed for the train station.
Back in Snowzerland at the Keukenhof Castle, Austin8310 was sitting by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate by his side. Java walked into the room.
Java:"Hey, Austin. I've got a plan to get those Hochstadt scums again."
Austin:"Lay it on me."
Java:"Let's just say I've got some buddies back in Valnordore who can do our work for us. I'll just tell them that Hochstadt Gang's swiging by and they need to be taught a lesson or two."
Austin:"OK."
Java:"If that fails for some reason, XTUX is going to wait for them in Waffleland."
Austin:"Fair enough. Finally, some rest."
However, Austin and Swiss Ninja would be busy very soon.
An excerpt from Gottfried's Journal:
So far, we have visited Japaland and Asiania....very interesting cultures. In Japaland we visited downtown Jokio and climed up Mount Fiji. In Asiania, we visited the Great Wall of Asiania, a giant wall taht runs across the whole north side of the island. It looks like we've got Valnordore, Waffleland, and I forgot to mention Castilla, and then we're done. Clovis says that he's made up his mind about where he wants to live, which is Castilla since Clovis knows some Spanish. Therefore we're saving Castilla for last, since Castilla is going to be the finishing point for Clovis.
Valnordore[edit]
The travelers then flew to the capital of Valnordore, which is Snowdari. They had arrived there with no trouble. They did not stay in the city very long since it looked like any other ordinary city with regular city life occuring. The Gang quickly left the domed city of Snowdari to resort to the rumoured beautiful countryside of Valnordore, where the citizens lived in clans. The Hochstadt travelers stayed at an inn called "The Black Eye". Little did they know what that meant.
That night, Clovis walked into the hotel room. He then got himself ready for bed, and groggily got under the sheets, and tried to sleep. Suddenly, two thugs from the political party, The Valnordorian Black Eye jumped out from the closet and from under the bed and tackled Clovis. The Valnordorian Black Eye was an infamous political party of Valnordore that supported Snowzerland. They were delighted to have Java ask them a favor to capture the Hochstadt Gang for Swiss Ninja.
Clovis screamed, and alarmed Gottfried, S2, and Fuut Ga, who were in their rooms.
Suddenly, thugs jumped out of their closets and beds as well and attacked.
The two thugs who had jumped on Clovis had already knocked him unconcious and dragged him out of his room.
Fuut Ga:"Hey, you're not taking Clovis..."
Thug:"Hey, Ninja, lookie here! I stole your favorite Card Jitsu card!"
The thug then hit Fuut Ga in the eye, and made him stagger back towards the two other thugs with Clovis. The trick had worked, and soon Clovis, Fuut Ga, Gottfried, S2, Leonardo and Piper were tied up to chairs in the Inn's parlor.
Java Ghent then walked in.
Java:"Good work, boys."
Fuut Ga:"Darn. I should have remembered taht Java is of Valnordorian decent."
Java:"Too bad. You didn't. Now, let's haul these guys away and take them to Snowzerland to be..."
Suddenly, Jock Hochstadt and his large troop of PFLS militia penguins smashed the inn's windows and barged into the room, fiercly beginning to battle the Valnordorian Black Eye thugs like savage barbarians.
Jock:'"RAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!"
Jock took out his sword and whacked Java on the head before he could defend himself. Java fell unconcious. Jock picked his body up and brought his sword to his neck.
Jock:"SURRENDER NOW OR JAVA WILL DIE!"
The thugs' eyes grew wide, dropped their weapons, and took Java away to safety.
Clovis:"Finnally, safe again."
Jock:"No, you're not. Quickly, men, untie my relatives."
Fuut Ga:"I'm pretty sure they're going to get back at us any minute now."
The Militia penguins sliced the ropes and the Hochstadts were free. The Hochstadts quickly got their stuff and prepared to leave. Jock had brought along an old Viking Empire tank.
Jock:"Get inside the tank."
The Hochstadts got into the tank, and Jock sealed the hatch. The tank began rolling and headed for Snowdari again.
Fuut Ga:"That's it. I'm going back to my home once we get to the airport. I'm done with this trip."
Leonardo:"Fuut Ga, I'm coming with you."
Clovis:"Looks like it's just Gottfried, S2, Piper, and me again, eh?"
Leonardo:"Then again, nevermind. I'll stay. I always wanted to see Waffleland."
Suddenly, another group of Black Eye Valnordorian Thugs blocked the road.
Jock:"ACK! TAKE THIS!"
Jock fired explosive rockets at the Thugs, which scattered them around and badly hurt them. Jock's tank continued moving forward to the airport.
Waffleland[edit]
The Travelers then made their way to the airport after Jock blasting enemies out of the way. Fuut Ga flew home while the rest including Jock flew to Waffleland, and arrived that morning.
Jock:"OK. Waffleland. What's to see here?"
Gottfried:"I don't know. Hey, lets ask that guy."
Gottfried walked up to a native from Waffleland, notably called a Waffleian.
Gottfried:"Good day to you sir..."
The Waffleian burped.
Gottfried:"ACK! Disgusting! Excuse you!"
He replied in a thick L33T accent.
Waffleian:"Errr...What are you talking about? Oh, you must be a foriegner. Welcome to Waffleland!"
Gottfried:"I know that. I just wanted to...."
Waffeian:"Here in Waffleland, it's customary to greet someone by burping. It's even more polite if you fart!"
The Waffeian farted.
Gottfried:"Eck! Filthy peasant! Please, you're creeping me out. I just want to know what is to see here in this country..."
Waffleian:"You can go visit the The Royal Exquisitely Stinky Dump!"
Gottfried:"Errrr....anything else besides disgusting places that I don't care about?"
Waffleian:"Well, you could eat at our famed restauraunts that serve the best waffles in Antarctica."
Gottfried:"Hence the name 'Waffleland'. Ok. Thanks for your help."
The Waffeian burped again.
Gottfried was sick of him already, and slapped him across the face with his metal gauntlet.
Gottfried mockingly said:"That's how we greet people in Alemania, fool!"
The Waffleian mumbled something in the local language of gibberish.
Gottfried:"WANT ANOTHER PUNCH IN ZEE FACE???"
Waffleian:"No.."
Gottfried:"THEN GO AVAY AND STOP FARTING IN OUR FACES!"
Immediately, many Waffleians looked at Gottfried strangely and in scorn for mocking their culture. Obviously, they conisdered Gottfried to be very hostile.
Clovis:"Gottfried, that was unlike yourself to do that."
Gottfried sighed.
Gottfried:"Well, the same thing happened in Crebbec, right? I suppose I just don't like the culutre of Waffleland. It's just so weird and very disgusting. The sooner we leave the better."
Jock:"I'll call a taxi and we'll head out for a hotel we're going to be staying at. Apparently, it was built right above an old abandoned warehouse. Today the warehouse storage area is used as the lobby. It's a popular place to stay I hear."
Leonardo:"What's it called?"
Jock:"Hotel Wafflez."
XTUX Hun was staying at Hotel Wafflez when he heard the news that the Hochstadts had successfully evaded the Valnordorians and had arrived safely in Waffleland. He prepared himself and stood by the hotel window, looking out onto the street awaiting the arrival of his prey.
The Hochstadts then checked into the hotel lobby. Little did they see XTUX spying on them nearby, listening and seeing everything.
Concierge Penguin:"OK. Your rooms are on the second story right above us. Here are the keys to your rooms...."
Gottfried:"Thank you."
The Concierge penguin burped.
Gottfried slapped him.
Gottfried:"I don't care if it's polite to burp in front of other penguins like that in this country. I still find it offensive!"
The Gang then walked away to the elevators and went into their rooms. However, Leonardo left his suitcase outside the hotel near the doors. Leonardo then abandoned the gang and went outside to retrieve his suitcase. Meanwhile, XTUX came out of his hiding spot and aimed his blaster gun at the celing, where the Hochtadt Gang members' rooms were. XTUX began firing, but it took awhile before any effect happened. Leonardo was at the door when he discovered XTUX attempting to destroy the celing.
Leonardo:"Oh no!"
Leonardo then jumped onto XTUX and began fighting him, biting him in the face. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the celing of the hotel began to crack. As they were struggling, XTUX finally threw Leonardo off of his face. Lenardo flew out the hotel entrance and into a patch of flowers outside.
C-C-C-RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHHHHHHSHH
The celing collapsed and fell onto everyone on the lobby, including XTUX (who appears to have not thought through his plan enough). Leonardo saw the whole thing happen outside and unharmed.
Leonardo:"My gang!"
Leonardo ran inside the demolished lobby. The lobby's floor was covered by the crumbling ruins of the celing and the floor of the second level.
Leonardo then looked up to see Clovis clinging for his life onto a hanging lamp that was still on the second story. Gottfried and Jock were hanging onto a wall, Piper was sitting inside a cabinet that was hanging on the wall of their hotel room, while S2 was floating in midair using his super powers.
Leonardo:"Are you all right?"
Gottfried:"Yes, we are, but we could use some help!"
S2:"I got you guys."
S2 then grabbed Jock, Gottfried, Piper, and Clovis and set them down safely outide of the demolished hotel.
Leonardo:"That's a close call."
Clovis:"Indeed. Now we need to find another place to stay."
Leonardo:"Yeah. At least XTUX isn't going to be after us anytime soon."
Jock:"Let's help the others first though...."
Jock dialed 911, and eventually ambulances, police cars, and firetrucks surrounded the hotel. Firefighters and paramedics were soon helping trapped penguins out of the rubble or helping the other penguins escape from the higher levels. During that time, the police chief recommended the Hochdtadt Gang a new hotel to stay in, so they departed and took a taxi to their new hotel. They then checked in at the Waffle Royale, a more higher class hotel that was much better than the previous one.
That night, the Hochstadts decided to have dinner at the Hotel's restauraunt.
The gang planned to have waffles for dinner since it was the country's specialty, but they were out. Besides, the national food of Waffleland was roasted Doom Knight on a spit....so they decided to have that...since there was nothing else on the menu that day. They only had to order one doom knight since it was big enough for all of them to eat.
When the Waitor brought their entree, a very foul stench began to fill the air.
Leonardo:"Yuck...It smells like Director Penny after eating an OxiPie!!!"
Gottfried, S2, Clovis, Jock, Piper: O_O
S2:"How would you know that?"
Leonardo:"Let's just say we've come across before. I mighta tried flirting with her since she's pretty...didn't turn out well, though."
The roasted doom knight looked like a burnt log.
Clovis:"Errr....Bon Appetit, everyone."
Everyone began eating the roasted Doom Knight. It wasn't long before everyone began spitting out the chewed up pieces of doom knight.
Gottfried:"Eck! Disgusting! Why am I, a knight, eating another knight anyways? Hey waitor, can be have a refund??"
Waitor:"No."
Gottfried:"Do you call this ^%$#^$%&%$&%$& stuff food????? SHAME!! I'd rather be tortured by %$^$^%#$& Mabel than to eat this garbage!"
Everyone in the room who heard Gottfried screaming gasped in horror. It was already bad enough that he insulted the national food...but insulting Mabel, who is loved by most in Waffleland, consider it to be a national offense.
Waitor:"GET OUT OF OUR RESTAURANT, YOU BRATS!"
The Hochstadt Gang walked out of the restauraunt gloomily, still hungry.
Clovis made a sarcastic and smart alec remark:"Nice going, Gottfried. The natives really like you."
Jock elbowed Clovis in the ribs.
Jock:"Don't encourage anything, Clovis. Gottfried is not in the mood."
Gottfried:"No, it's ok. I am just losing my head here. I just don't like this country, that's all. It's culture is just really contrary to my lifestyle. I'll tell you one thing, I'm never going to come back here again."
Piper:"Well, by the looks of it, you're becoming a Wafflean by the way you've been acting, all crazy and such."
Clovis:"We should leave tomorrow anyways."
Gottfried and Piper:"Agreed."
The Hochstadt Gang then woke up the next morning and went to a new restauraunt for breakfast. Luckily, it was stocked with waffles. Since the Hochstadts did not eat dinner last night, they ate 12 waffles each. After feasting on these delicious waffles, the Hochstadts packed their things and headed for the airport....to reach their final destination of Castilla!
An excerpt from Gottfried's Journal:
As we soon draw to a close, I must mention what we have gone through so far. We visited Valnordore, a nation that we discovered was where Java Ghent's family lineage comes from. The capital city of Snowdari is like any other ordinary city...but we were tricked into going into the dangerous countryside, where penguins live in clans. We were attacked by the Valnordorian Black Eye, a political faction that wants Snowzerland to rule Valnordore. Luckily Jock came to the rescue, and we escaped to Waffleland....only to be attacked by XTUX in the lobby. In my opinion, Waffleland has a repulsive culture. Penguins burp as a form of common greeting, but it's more polite to fart! Some did so to me, and I slapped them with my armor-clad gauntlet. The Waffleans' national food is roasted Doom Knight on a spit. We tried some last night, and discovered it looked like a burnt log. It had a foul smell.....Leonardo compared it to have the smell of Director Penny after eating an OxiPie. It tasted disgusting...I don't want to go into detail there, so we basically starved that night. However, things went well when we had breakfast! We had some of the best waffles Antarctica could offer, and it really filled us up. Now, we head to Castilla, our last destination.
Castilla Bonita[edit]
The Hochstadt Gang arrived in the Castillan capital of Metido around noon. They then rented a car and drove south to the city of Toledo....which was where Clovis decided to live. Toledo is a beautiful and peaceful city that recieves a lot of tourists. It also has a lot of culture there, and is very lively. The Hochstadts soon were walking the streets of Toledo, heading towards a real estate office. When they arrived, they browed through a book full of current houses for sale. Eventually, Clovis chose a nice house located only a block away from the old town square. With Jock's money, the house was bought, and the Hochstadts helped Clovis move into their new house. They bought a bed for him, some furniture, a TV and computer, and some cooking ware. To top it off, Jock bought Clovis a motor scooter.
Clovis:"....But Jock, I'm unlicenced!"
Jock:"Then it's time you get a licence, my friend."
The next day they continued to tour the city, and made a nice picture like this one:
Eventually, it was time to leave. Everyone bid farewell to Clovis, for it already was the end of his journey. Now, Gottfried, Piper, Leonardo, S2, and Jock hoped to return to Club Penguin island to finish their mission and start the celebration party.
An excerpt from Gottfried's Journal:
Castilla, once called Goverua when occupied by FG, is an island of wonder. It's a land full of culture, music, and art. In a sense, Castilla is a lot like Snowzerland. They also dream of conquering Antarctica and leaving a large cultural impact. Castilla also is now the home of Clovis Hochstadt, now that he has bought a home in the city of Toledo. Our journey is now almost over, for now we shall return to Club Penguin Island to celebrate this accomplishment!
The Return to Club Penguin Island[edit]
When the Hochstadts returned to Club Penguin Island, everyone including Fisch, Dave, Aunt Arctic, and several journalists were already waiting for them. The Hochstadt travelers were welcomed with hearty gusto with a "Welcome Home" party. News Reporters and T.V. Anchors soon were interviewing the gang very much with many questions. The Hochstadt Gang also found themselves on the front page of the Club Penguin Times as well.
Reporter:"Gottfried, is it true that you kept a journal for your trip?"
Gottfried:"Yes. I did. Speaking of which, I plan to publish it this year with the help of Snowball Press."
Reporter:"So basically the Jounal entries were about your trip?"
Gottfired:"Yes. I also was temporarily out on the trip, so a good portion of the Journal was also written by Clovis Hochstadt while I was absent."
News Anchor:"Gottfried, would you like to say anything...like advice to our viewers?"
Gottfried:"Yes. I do. Remember folks, travelling all of Antarctica is very fun yet stressful for most. Especially when a whole country is trying to hunt you down."
Reporters and news anchors continued to ask questions as the Hochstadts were partying- celebrating their success.
