Sunset in Tropicalis

After spending years on end of fighting and undergoing ordeal after ordeal, Wikipenguino and co. decide to take an official break from being at odds with S.H.A.R.K. for the summer and head over to Tropicalis, where they arrive at dusk. Besides, as one of the groups' own members famously quoted, what could possibly go wrong? It's just another **Sunset in Tropicalis**.

## Chapter 1: Tropicapolian Dusk

Repeated clacking noises could be heard in the courtyard of the Lagois Mansion.

Wikipenguino45: Don't swing that way, make sure to hold that position–

Wikipengal45: I'm *trying*!

Two lime green penguins in identical clothing repeatedly swung at each other brandishing plastic poles, blocking and countering each other's attacks. A blue puffle sat nearby on a chair, his glasses barely touching the pages of a book he was reading, seemingly too intrigued by its contents to bother watching the two siblings spar.

Wikipenguino: That's it, you're making progress!

One of the lime penguins, who had long red hair and was slightly shorter than the other, put down the plastic pole, somewhat out of breath.

Wikipenguino: You wanna stop for today?

Wikipengal: Yeah.

Wikipenguino: Well, that was... uh...something.

Wikipengal: *Something*? Oh come on, after all that?

Wikipenguino: I mean it wasn't a bad spar. But you know, I think there's still room for improvement. Not that you're not getting there.

Wikipengal: I get it, I'm not good enough a fighter to counter *the* Wikipenguino.

Wikipenguino laughed.

Wikipenguino: Oh come on, that's not what I said.

Wikipengal: Well, that's exactly what it sounded like.

Wikipenguino: You mean that's what *you* thought it sounded like.

Wikipengal snickered and turned to look at the sky, which was transitioning from a bright turqoise to a more softer lavender.

Wikipengal: Well, I think its about time for dinner. We should've used actual kesyabers, honestly.

Terry Van Furry: That would likely cause collateral damage.

He paused from reading his book to glance over at the two of them.

Terry Van Furry: Not to mention how costly it would be to repair. Knowing your father-

Wikipengal: Yeah, yeah, we know. We wouldn't be using them here obviously. What did you think of our training, Dennis?

Dennis Kappa, the Lagois family's butler, a purple mustached penguin in a dark blue suit who was passing by, stopped for a moment and nodded at Wikipengal.

Dennis: Very good, madam.

Wikipengal: Finally someone who appreciates my hard work.

Dennis: Masters, madam, dinner will be ready shortly. I invite you all to return inside soon.

Wikipenguino: Got it. Thanks, Den.

Dennis bowed and returned back to the mansion.

Wikipenguino: Well, uh, guess that's our cue to wrap up. I would've had us use our keysabers, but you know how miffed dad would get if we set the grounds on fire by accident.

Wikipengal: If only we had Falco... speaking of him, what's he up to? General ninja stuff?

Wikipenguino: Apparently there's a whole Ninja Syndicate he had to take care of, so uh... yeah. I suppose you could say that. I'll tell you more about it later, let's head inside. Come on, Terry.

As the three of them shuffled towards the Lagois Mansion, a penguin outside the mansion grounds whispered into a phone.
