Description
Freezing, that was the only word to describe the sensation. The whole world around him was a dark, freezing place that seemed to be filled with nothing. Canard Thunderbeak didn’t know how long he had been there, only that he was cold. He hoped that his friends were safe. In the back of his mind, he had been glad for the chance to give Wildwing the mask. He had always thought he’d be a better captain anyway. He even somewhat regretted doubting his little brother. Nosedive had managed to bring the ship to them in time to follow the Raptor and escape the explosion. He wasn’t that bad of a kid…
Suddenly a white light appeared, a door like shape. Canard managed to turn his head towards it, but couldn’t do much more. He felt frozen.
“Okay, I think I got it, but now one of us has to go in and see if they can get him out… if he’s, ya know, even in there…” Tanya said as she finished powering up the transdimensional gateway. “It’s gonna be pretty dark in there though…”
Jill was already checking her gear. Jill was the perfect duck for this mission. With her aura sight, she’d be able to find Canard in the time it took Nosedive to finish a comic book.
“Ya sure you’re gonna be okay, Jewel?” Duke still held onto the old habit of calling her that, unless they were on the ice.
“Just like stealing food from the drones.” Jill, for her part, was confident in her aura sight to find Canard. She knew what his aura looked like, and she was sure that she could handle herself. There was a cable attached to her waist though so that Duke and the others could pull her back when she found Canard.
“Jill, this isn’t safe…” Wildwing started.
“Bro, trust me on this. It’s dark, and I can see auras no matter what. Unless you want me to knock you out, you are to stay here with the others and pull us out when I pull the cord three times. Any other questions?” Jill asked as she looked around. None of the auras raised their hands and no one was going to argue with her. She was right.
“Just be careful, sis.” Nosedive said as he got next to Duke to help with the cable.
“Will do, be back in a few.” With that, she walked into the portal.
In the portal, Jill was amazed. To her, it wasn’t dark. It was as though she could see everything and anything in there. She turned her head towards a duck that was floating in a fetal position. She smirked. She didn’t need her aura sight in this place, because it was made for her. She sighed. If only she could see everywhere… oh well, she had a mission to do.
She floated gently over to the duck and touched his hand. He jolted as though burnt. “Wha!” He looked at the newcomer and noticed that he could move with her touching him, and that it was no longer cold. “Who’s there?”
“Oh, that’s nice, I suppose you can’t see?”
“No, I can’t.” He groaned.
“Well don’t worry, I can… for once… Come on, Canard. I’m not letting you sit here and die while I still haven’t gotten payback for you leaving me on Puckworld… especially while taking my brothers with you… that and my brothers are expecting you on the other side. Wildwing was pretty worried about you.” She tugged on the cord three times and waited to be pulled out.
“Your brothers? Jill, is that you?”
“Who else would be stupid enough to follow you all through a dimensional gateway? Honestly, it’s as though you didn’t expect to be rescued.” She felt the cord start to pull and held tightly onto the tan duck’s wrist. “Come on, Canard, back to the world of sight for you…”
“You’re blind in our world, but you can see here?”
“I’m pretty sure we fell into an aura pocket, or something. Just shut up and hang on.” They were almost to the portal.
Apparently going through the portal was a real energy drainer, because once out of the portal, Canard collapsed and Jill barely managed to sit down on the floor. “Told you I’d be fine…” She smiled as she fell asleep, seeing everyone for a second before it all went black again.
Wildwing and Grin carried Canard to the infirmary while Tanya shut down the machine. Duke and Nosedive managed to pick up Jill and gently carry her to the infirmary as well while Mallory made a call in to Puckworld to tell them that they had managed to get Canard back. Wildwing double-checked with his mask to be safe, and sure enough, the unconscious ducks were who they looked like. He shook his head and smiled. He really needed to learn not to doubt his sister.
Tanya and Duke stayed with the Flashblade brothers as they watched over their unconscious friends. Mallory and Grin were now explaining everything to Phil who was having the time of his life. Two new ducks within a few months, what was next?
Canard was the first to wake up. He jolted awake as though he had been shocked. Wildwing was at his side in an instant while Tanya started checking his vitals. He looked around and sighed. He was among friends. He smirked in surprise when he saw Nosedive smiling back at him from the other side of the room. “What, you didn’t get iced yet?”
“Ha, you kidding, Canard? I’m a Flashblade! We don’t get iced, we skate on it!” Nosedive grinned as the old leader shook his head with a smirk. He had been reluctant to let Nosedive on the team, but since he was still alive, that must’ve meant he wasn’t a complete washout.
Then he noticed Jill and was even more confused. He had left her behind on Puckworld on purpose. She was blind. She would’ve needed help from her brothers every second. They couldn’t have brought her to the tower without fear of her getting shot. He was still trying to piece together why he had found her sneaking around the Brotherhood of the Blade’s hideout when he was getting Duke. At the time, he had thought that Duke’s gang had just saved her along with the other civilians that were there. Now though, with that saber on her shoulder, he wasn’t so sure.
It was at this time that they all heard a small groan. “Ungh!” Jill was waking up. Duke and Nosedive were at her side in an instant, helping her to sit up and not fall off the bed. “Guys, don’t baby me, I’m fine… I want to give Thunderbeak a good punch though…”
“Why would you want to give him a punch?” Tanya asked as Duke helped her stand.
Jill looked at Tanya with an apologetic glance. “Let’s just say that last we met, he was rude, inconsiderate, and taking all three of the only ducks I cared for to go up against Dragaunus, and his excuse for me not coming was that I was blind!”
Canard gave her a glare. “Well yes, being blind, you could have ended up in more trouble than we already were in for bringing Nosedive!”
Wildwing rolled his eyes at this. “Canard, we left him in the Aerowing. If anything, it actually helped that we did because we got away from the explosion in time. Besides, Dive’s been a big help since then.”
Canard was still looking at Jill who was now stabilized and walking towards him. She certainly looked different from the ragged outfit she had been wearing back then. She had been in disguise as a refugee to gain their trust and help pass out food while getting info. She had been hoping for news about her brothers.
She gave him a single slap across the face. He rubbed his cheek. “What was that for?”
“Never assume a Flashblade is useless. We all have our uses and our own abilities, some more than others.” She then walked out of the room and headed towards her bedroom to try to look over some ideas for the next game, and add Canard to the roster. “And next time, don’t count me out in a fight against Dragaunus! I don’t like being left alone.”
Duke and Nosedive tried to stifle their laughs, but found they couldn’t do it very successfully. “Haha, oh man, that was beautiful, man, hahah!” Duke couldn’t help laugh at his fiancé’s reaction to the original leader of the team. “Oh man, you’re so lucky she didn’t use her sword, hahaha!”
Nosedive was just busy laughing at Canard’s stunned reaction. Even Wildwing had to admit that his friend did tend to think little of his siblings. “Maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to doubt my siblings, Canard. Jill and Nosedive are pretty dangerous if push comes to shove, they just don’t always act like it.” He smirked as Canard just shook his head with a small grin on his beak.
“Maybe so, but since when did your sister know how to slap so hard.”
Duke supplied the answer for that. “I’d say she’s always known, hehe. Nice ta see your still in one piece though.”
“I suppose you want the mask back?” Wildwing asked as he took off the mask. He held it out to his old friend, wondering what his decision would be.
Canard looked at it for a second and then shook his head. “Keep it, you know the team better, and as you can see, I’m not the best of judges when it comes to your sister… or your brother now that I think about it.” He smirked.
“Probably, besides, you still haven’t even met the locals.”
“The locals?”
“Humans…”
Jill sat in front of the television in the living room of the headquarters. She was trying to figure out the point of her little brother’s favorite show, “Bernie the Bear.” So far, she wasn’t hearing the appeal of it.
“You always slap your superior officers after you rescue them?” Mallory asked as she sat next to the annoyed duck.
“Only if they left me all alone on Puckworld while making sure everyone I care about is on a doomsday mission going after Dragaunus.” She replied as she started flipping the channels. After a few minutes she just sighed and turned it off. “He taking over again?”
“Not according to Nosedive. He told me that Canard let Wildwing keep the mask because he knew us all better.”
“Well he does… that might be the first smart thing Canard’s done since college…” Jill smirked. Mallory just laughed. The two had been getting along better since their first day, and were now becoming best friends.
“What’s your deal with him anyway? Did he really abandon you?”
“Who’s giving you your info?”
“Nosedive.”
“Well, he needs to shut his beak more…” She sighed. “He didn’t abandon me, per say, he just… well when he took you guys, he left me behind. Without Duke and my brothers, I was really on my own. I helped the Brotherhood dodge most of the troops and steal food for the people. Then when Dragaunus was gone and you all didn’t return, I was sought out by the military.”
“Why?”
“They had read my files from when Canard was going for Wildwing. They took an interest when they realized I was blind and still alive. That’s sorta how I was recruited into finding you all.” Jill sighed.
“Wow. So you slapped Canard for that?”
“Huh? No, I slapped him for refusing to tell me where my brothers were and for taking them with him on a crazy adventure with Duke. He left me out of all the fun, because I’m blind!” She made a fake pouty face. Mallory laughed at it and started to mock her with her own.
“Oh, poor baby.” The two then just continued laughing.
Canard was quickly introduced to Phil and begged into a contract. Thankfully, Duke and Jill helped him deal with it. Wildwing showed him around the place and introduced him to the other humans that they interacted with the most; Mookie, Thrash, and Captain Klegghorn. It didn’t take long to get him used to the rules and the Pond’s layout. He was quite impressed with Drake 1 and the Migrator, considering the planet’s technology.
He sat on the bench and watched the team practice while Jill listened carefully and watched their auras react to the pucks.
“Alright, guys, that was good, but Nosedive, try and let Duke and Tanya get a shot in once in a while. We can’t have you hogging the puck all the time.”
“Righty-o, sis.” Nosedive called as he passed the puck to the scientist. She skated forward and around the goal and passed to Duke, who managed to get a shot in past Wildwing.
Canard blinked. Barely anything got past Wildwing. Was he slipping up? Jill seemed to sense his confusion and chuckled. “He’s still got it, but the others are catching up. I had to take two weeks to learn all their skills before figuring out good strategies for them. They’ve got most things down pat already, thanks to Wildwing.” She then showed the notes and the plays she had been writing up for the ducks. “I’ve also got them working on a play that I think will be very… amusing…” She smirked.
“What is it?”
“I call it the Flying V. It’s based off of the Earth’s version of us ducks. They aren’t smart like us, and they can fly, so I figured why not do some more research.” She then called out to the team. “Hey, you guys, why not show Canard the Flying V?”
Wildwing nodded. “Flying V!” He called out. The other ducks nodded and went around behind the other net. With Mallory leading the way, the team was in a V shape, all heading towards Wildwing and his net. They kept changing who had the puck and this made it hard to tell where to block from.
“Of course this will be harder when going up against actual teams, but eh, it works. You can start practicing tomorrow, but you can’t be allowed to play in this week’s game. Next week I’ll let you play if you work out well enough with them.” Jill smiled as Canard scowled. The team had almost gotten it past Wildwing, but he had noticed Nosedive shoot it at him.
“Why do I have to wait so long?”
Jill rolled her eyes. “Because, you just got out of the dimensional limbo, and you need to get back in practice before I let you on the ice for a game. You can join us if we get into a fight, but until I’m certain you know at least some of the plays and can play nicely with the others, I have to keep you benched.”
“Now I’m starting to figure out why Nosedive’s so childish. You still act like one too.”
“No, actually, I don’t. He’s a year younger. He can act like a kid all he wants when me and Wildwing are there to protect him…” Her gaze got distant then, or at least as much as it could for a blind duck. “… but I’m sure he’ll be there for us if we need him too. I’m told he’s saved Wildwing and the others a few times, so no fair being judgmental, got it?”
“Got it.”
Dragaunus was the leader of the Saurians that were on the planet Earth at the moment. Their ship was trapped under the ocean though, not that they were having much trouble with it. They were able to deal with it so long as they didn’t run into the ducks. There was plenty of air for them, and they had secretly been stealing air canisters to pump into the ship from nearby naval bases.
“Honey, I’m home!” Called the Chameleon as he teleported in with his disguise. Like his name suggested, he was able to change his shape into almost anything possible. At the moment he looked like a simple housewife carrying groceries and a can of oxygen.
Siege, a large stegosaurus like creature, just groaned and rolled his eyes. “Do you always have to say that, Chameleon?”
“What else do I get to do around here that will annoy ya, Siege?”
“Everything!”
Wraith watched the two and wondered something that had always been bugging him, were those two developing a brotherly bond, and if so, would they ever skip to the part where they were friends forever and just shut up? He was the sorcerer of the Saurians and hated technology. He also claimed to be allergic to Hockey at one point, but no one was really sure how that worked out. The hunter drones quickly picked up the supplies for the four Saurians that lived in the broken spaceship.
“Will you both shut up!” Dragaunus shouted. He smiled deviously as an idea started to form in his mind. “I have a plan…”
