AAOOOSC!: The Mission

For the rest of the day, Patrick is locked up in his dark room, crying and thinking. He cried at first, but then his sadness turned into ire, wanting to avenge Antti's death, I mean disappearance.
He sat on the edge of his bed, his elbows on his thighs and hands clasped on his jaw, holding his head up, staring hard at the ground, thinking of ways to bring justice.
The only way to do that is to battle against the one who made Antti disappear: Kari.
"I'm going to get him...I'm gonna fight against him...he's gonna pay," Patrick mumbles to the ground harshly.
A knock then echoes from the door.
Also during the time Patrick was in his room, there were many knocks that came in; they were from the rest of the GHP, wanting to help him out. But of course, he rejected them.
Patrick ignores the knocking. "Tonight...," he continues on, "tonight I'll go and get him. And the NHL will be safe and no one else will disappear."
He then hears shuffling as a dark gray shaded-coloured paw is sticking out from underneath the door.
"Touch Bubby's hand," Sidney's voice calls out from the other side. "He wants to know if you're okay."
"I'm fine, just leave," Patrick replies with a flat tone.
"But pleeeeease? He really wants to know! He thinks you're not fine."
"Tell 'im, fine-- I'm just thinking, okay?" He is starting to get a bit annoyed.
Sidney sighs from the other side and Bubby's hand slides back into the light. He then hears his footsteps echoing farther and farther away.
"Tonight." Patrick finishes off. "Kari's going down."
That night, Patrick is dressed up for battle. He sidles out of his room and makes his way down the hallway quietly; he then goes down the stairs, strolls through another hallway, and enters the main room. He looks behind his shoulder, seeing the empty and quiet hallway. "Gotta do what I gotta do." He then faces front. "AH!" He startles.
Next to another entrance of a hallway is Sidney in his dark gray PJs, hugging his big, stuffed gorilla close to him. "Where are you going?" he asks with big eyes.
Patrick calmed down when he realized it is just Sidney. "What are you doing down here, I thought you were upstairs," Patrick shoots back quietly with a hint of harshness.
"Bubby was hungry--he wants a midnight snack." He raises Bubby in the air.
"Ugh..." He closes his eyes from a moment with a groan then opens them up again. "Grab that gorilla's snack and go back upstairs." He nods his head up.
"But-but--"
"No but's--"
"But what are you doing up so late?" Sidney questions him in a timid voice. "It looks like you're going to fight." He makes a suspicious look. "Are you?"
Patrick groans again, realizing that he is going to sooner or later tell the Penguin what he is up to. "Sid..." He pinches the bridge of his nose. "...you couldn't just wait until I was gone to come down here?"
"But why are you going to fight?" He raises his eyebrows.
The new Master drops his hands to his side. "Why else?: To avenge Nemo's death--"
"Disappearance. He's not dead..." Sidney glances down with a sad look. "...he's just gone...for now..."
Patrick rolls his eyes. "Forever."
"Why do you say he's gonna be gone forever?"
"Because he's dead."
"No, he's gone... And the ones who disappear get found soon."
Patrick bites his bottom lip and darts his eyes at the ground. "You think he's gonna come back?" He looks back at the Penguin.
"Of course he is!" Sidney exclaims, extending his arms to his sides while holding Bubby in one of his hands. "It'll be sad if he doesn't."
"Why are you so confident in that though?"
"Because I like to make things happy." He hugs Bubby again. "And I know he's gonna come back-- I have a feeling he'll come."
"I hope he's coming back...," Patrick mutters.
"But who are you gonna fight against?" He asks the Blackhawk.
"Kari...he's the one who made Nemo all glitchy and disappear."
Sidney gasps with his eyes widen. "You were gonna fight against him all alone? You're gonna get creamed!"
"Thank you, Sid," Patrick says sarcastically.
"No, you can't fight him all alone! You need us--we can help you! We can fight together against him! No one has to do things alone here. We're here for one another...we help out each other...and we never go alone. Even if we leave you behind in hostage in every mission, we still come back to get you." He flashes a huge, goofy grin.
The new Master of the GHP chuckles a bit. "Haha, thanks, Sid. But I still have to fight against him--"
"No, we fight against him, not only you. We'll fight together. How's that? Then we can avenge Nemo's disappearance together!"
Patrick sighs. "I wanted to do this alone, but...it is true that it's something dangerous to do alone...and I do need you guys." He pauses for a moment. "I'm feeling better now." He smiles a bit.
"I'm glad you are." Sidney rushes up to him and wraps him in a hug with Bubby in between them.
The Master embraces him back, feeling a wave of relief wash over him. "So we're gonna fight together?"
Sidney nods his head. "Mm, hm."
Patrick raises his eyebrows. "Right now?"
"No!" The Penguin pulls away from the hug. "It's too late. In the morning after we have a yummy breakfast!" He smiles big with his mouth closed.
He tilts his head from side to side. "Eh, alright. I am kinda tired anyways."
"Yea, tiredness and fighting is not a good mix." Sidney shakes his head vigorously. "Wanna have a snack with Bubby?" He holds out his gorilla towards his Master.
"Sure, why not?" Patrick then follows Sidney into the kitchen.
"Patrick, one thing."
The Blackhawk looks at the Penguin. "Yea?"
"Don't ever lock yourself in your room like what you did all day, okay? It makes us sad."
"Okay, I won't. Promise."
