Extra 4: One Shall Fall

Clemson had been dragging his tail for days, knowing that eventually she would return. He'd failed a mission and that was unacceptable in his mother's eyes. If only he'd been born into a different family. If only he'd had a chance for a different life...

'Dr. Blowhole is demanding payment for your failed mission,' Selene hissed, towering over her cowering excuse for a son.
'I tried...' Clemson broke off as her palm hit his cheek, sending him reeling to the ground.
'You are a Velvet. There is no "Try" when you are a Velvet. There is only Success and Failure. Do you want to be a Failure, Clemson?' the female growled, eyes glinting dangerously in the light of the full moon.
'I... I don't want to be an assassin,' the red-furred lemur finally admitted, hunching down under his mother's furious gaze.
'Well, you've proved that. Do you think you can just walk away from the family that easily?' Selene put her hands on her waist, resisting the urge to slap her son again.
'There is no family. It's just you and I, mother. We're the last. Why does it bother you so much that I want to live a different life?' Clemson rolled into a sitting position, his hand drifting up to cover his stinging cheek.
'Have I taught you nothing about Honor? The only thing in this world that matters is your own flesh and blood. Your grandfather would be demanding your head if he were alive,' the female paced back and forth across the small habitat.
'You don't care about me. All you care about is your job. That's all you've ever cared about,' Clemson pushed himself to his feet, his hands moving down to waist level to hover near his drawn in tail.
'You ungrateful little brat!' Selene hissed, teeth bared in anger even as she yanked a dagger from her tail.
'I am not you. It's my life and I'm going to live it my way. I will not be your little puppet anymore,' the red lemur closed his fingers around the hilt of his own dagger hidden deep with his bushy tail. With a yowl, he pulled it from it's sheath and raised his arm, metal hitting metal as Selene threw herself at him.
{It ends tonight. Live or die, I refuse to be an assassin}

In the end, it was a lucky swipe that had Selene laying on the ground, her hand clutched over her bloody eye. Covered in cuts, bruises and bite marks, the lemurs glared at each other under the pale moonlight. Clemson felt the urge to kill her. Everything she'd ever done to him... she deserved death. But, he wanted... needed, to change his life. Killing her now would only be a hollow victory.
'You are going to leave Hoboken tonight and you are NEVER going to come back. You are no longer my mother and I am no longer your son,' Clemson snarled, his voice as cold as ice.
Selene gritted her teeth and cursed herself for letting the young lemur get the upper-hand.
'I am leaving... but I will be back. You will rue the day you turned on me,' the dark assassin vowed, slipping away into the darkness.
Clemson watched her go, feeling nothing as her dark tail disappeared into the shadows. He knew she'd be back. He may not be an assassin anymore, but he wasn't going to let his guard down. If she persisted, he WOULD kill her.

'Clemson... my goodness. You're bleeding all over,' Lulu's gentle voice washed over him, turning the lemur's attention to the two animals standing just outside his habitat walls.
'Nasty fight you and your mother had. We could hear you both screeching from across the zoo,' Hans commented, eyeing the dripping cuts on the young lemur's body.
'She is not my mother. Not anymore,' Clemson swore, running his tongue over an open wound on his arm.
Hans and Lulu exchanged a look, but said nothing. There was no love lost between them and the female lemur. If she left Hoboken for good, no one would miss her.
'I'll go get some bandages and ointment from the nurse's office. Good thing she always leaves a key hidden under the mat,' the chimpanzee headed off, leaving the puffin and lemur alone.
'I am proud of you, Clemson,' Hans admitted aloud, hopping down to stand next to the primate.
'You are?'
'Yes. Selene is no longer running your life anymore. Now you can live the life you choose,' the puffin smiled genuinely, feeling a wave of affection for the younger animal.
'Thank you, Hans,' Clemson looked away from the bird and found himself gazing at the moon in all its glory. Tomorrow would be the start of a brand new life.

Extra 5: Lulu's Visit
(Let's play pretend. We're going to pretend that episode 129 "Monkey Love" came after Clemson's visit to the Central Park Zoo in episode 237. Setting: End of episode 129)
'Lulu, please come out,' Marlene pleaded to the closed crate.
'Absolutely not! You're all loonies. I don't know why Clemson misses this place,' Lulu stated, refusing to come out.
'Red-fur?' Skipper gasped.
'My little red queen?' Julien jumped to attention, his tail waving with interest.
Skipper gave the excited lemur a glance and rolled his eyes. Still, this was a unique opportunity to get some intel on their dangerous enemy.
The crate lid slid open as the female chimp gazed suspiciously at the small group of lemurs waiting for her next words. Sliding the door-lid open fully, she eyed the lemur troop and rubbed her chin.
'Are you... Julien?' Lulu finally asked.
'Yes, that is me! King Julien! And you are knowing my Clemmy?' the grey and white lemur danced around in his excitement, before coming to rest on his knees before her. His golden eyes shimmered up at her pleadingly.
'Well aren't you just an adorable little guy. I have something for you,' Lulu turned and rummaged around the dark corners of the crate and finally pulled out a manhandled crown that had seen better days.
'I was asked by a certain someone to return this to you. Terribly sorry for the damage. The trip was quite a bumpy one,' the chimp held out the crown and Julien swiped it from her hands, holding it close.
'My little red queen!' Julien held in a sob, his eyes watering.
'Clemson tried to ship you off to Hoboken, man! Do not sympathize with the enemy... or make them ROYALTY!' Skipper slapped the lemur king across the face with a flipper, glaring into his golden eyes.
Julien let out one more sad cry, before straightening to his full height and glaring back at the penguin. 'I am the KING. If I say that Clemson is Queen, then he is Queen! Even if he is a little evil.'
'A LITTLE EVIL? He nearly ran my team, and Maurice, over with a forklift!' the penguin leader shouted.
'I say...that does sound rather evil,' Mason commented, receiving a half-hearted shrug from Phil who was still gazing sadly at his dream girl.
'If I might interject here, boys,' Lulu waited until all eyes were back on her before continuing. 'I have to agree with your little bird friend. Clemson is dangerous, but I wouldn't say he's outright evil. Still, I'll pass on your regards when I see him back in Hoboken.'
The chimp bent down so she was eye to eye with the lemur king. 'I'm very happy to see that your feelings for him are real. And maybe, if you're patient, Clemson will one day return to you. But he needs some time to himself right now.'
'I will to be waiting forevers and evers for my red queen,' Julien promised, stepping back to allow the chimps to finish their business.
'Good. Now, Mason and Phil... we have to talk. The rest of you, head along home now, please,' Lulu insisted, shooing the other animals off.
'Oh dear,' Mason rubbed the back of his neck and hoped this conversation would end well. Phil was still very much in love with Lulu. It sort of hurt to see it, but Mason understood why Phil would never be more than a close friend. They played for different teams in the love game. Perhaps he'd meet the male chimp of his dreams someday, but for now... his friend needed him.
...tbc...

Note: Full chapter next time when Julien and Clemson are finally reunited. And a few other mostly-slashy couples too :)
