Mighty Ducks-The Second Line

"Where's he going?" Erin asked Tanya as Stivz passed them with all the Second Line Ducks. The eyes in his silver mask were glowing a bright red, and as he walked by, the glowed seemed to linger behind. Sort of like the eyes of Spawn in the comic books. Stivz had also morphed into his battle gear, shining. Tnay tapped Duke on his shoulder and pointed him to Stivz.

Duke raised his eyebrow and started to follow. "He's going to the hangar." Duke said.

In the garage, Stivz pulled a keychain out of his pocket and pressed a red button. There was a large roar, and a large circle on the floor opened up. Smoke and a blue light came out of the circular hole, and finally, as the roar got louder, Stivz's PowerForce emerged from the hole. The PowerForce's engine was what was making the large noise, and all of its lights were on, including the purple and green neon lights that ran along the sides.

"Well," said Stivz. "I've got my ride, who's coming with me?"

Nylessa and Blade both raised their hands. Stivz smiled and nodded. He then walked over to the two large tarps. Duke was standing next to them, he had been waiting to see what Stivz had built and was keeping hidden under the tarps.

"Dusty!" called Stivz. "You and James take Betsy in this."

Stivz pulled the tarp off of the super vehicle. Duke stood and gaped at the humongous Ford Expedition, but its suspension and wheels were extraordinary. The wheels were 5-feet tall and stuck out very far like a monster truck's, and the Expedition itself sat six feet off the ground.

Stivz pulled another key and chain out of his pouch and gave it to Dusty. "This is the DuckCruiser. Press the blue button." Stivz ordered.

Dusty pushed the blue button, and the Expedition lowered to ground level, for easy access.

"This is just to cool!" Duke choked. "Where did you get this?"

"Do you think I just sit around whenever there isn't a game or whenever we're not fighting?" Stivz smiled. "I do test drives for the Ford Unleashed program."

"And they gave you this?" Duke said.

Stivz nodded. "I love this planet."

Stivz walked over to the other tarp as Dusty, James Pond, and Besty climbed into the DuckCruiser. He gave Chance a set of keys and turned to Duke, holding the end of the tarp.

This super vehicle is the only one of its kind. Ford is wanting me to test it out, so I converted it into a weapon." Stivz finally pulled off the tarp. "This is the Streak!"

Duke's jaw literally fell to the ground. "Maybe it's time that I start stealing cars instead of jewelery." Duke pondered as he left the garage.

"I like it." said Chance as she got in the Streak and started the engine. Dusty started the large engine in the DuckCruiser. The garage was alive with the noises of all the motors pumping. Stivz smiled and looked about him. He looked at his new team of Ducks, behind the wheels, ready for action.

"I'm going to love this mission."

Stivz climbed into the PowerForce and checked the radio communications.

"All wheels report in." Stivz spoke into his WristCom.

"DuckCruiser here." Dusty's voice came in. "Let's roll!"

Stivz looked over at the DuckCrusier, its body raising high above the bround. Dusty gunned the motor, and the body moved to the power of the engine.

Stivz then looked to his left and saw the Streak. "How 'bout you, Chance?"

Chance managed to smile and gave Stivz a thumbs-up. Stivz then pressed a button on his steering wheel, and the large doors of the garage opened up. The ramp that carries the Migrator up to the ice lowered to the garage. All the vehicles moved up onto the ramp. The ramp then quickly raised to ice level. Stivz then hit the accelerator and peeled out into the speed tunnel. The DuckCrusier soon followed. Chance waited about a minute before she touched the accelerator on the Streak. When she did, the Streak took off like a bullet. Chance was held back in her chair. She laughed as she fought the G-force of her speed. "I love this car!" she cried.

Outside the Pond, the Duck Dogs advertisement billboard rose out of the ground. The PowerForce and DuckCrusier sped out of the speed tunnel and headed for downtown Anaheim. Not far behind them, Chance in the Streak shot out of the tunnel like a cannonball.

"So, what first on the adgenda?" asked Blade.

"First," Stivz said. "We find the Raptor. Chances are if we find Dragonous, we'll find that new Saurian shit, Diablo."

For about half an hour, Stivz and the Second Line drove around Anaheim, searching for the Raptor. Stivz was getting frustrated.

"Where the hell could they be??" he asked.

Blade blinked, and started thinking. "Diablo must have come here to Earth in his own ship, right?"

Stivz looked over at her and nodded. "Yeah, that could be."

Blade continued. "So, if we're looking for for the Saurians, we should be looking for two Saurian ships."

"Thats it!" Stivz cried. "I can set my mask to search for large sources of energy and we need to find large open areas big enough for two ships to land."

"What would be a good place to look?" Nylessa asked.

Stivz scratched his beak. He then snapped his fingers. "The parking lots at DisneyLand!"

"What??" said Blade in disbelief.

Stivz laughed. "I'll tell you about this place later, but it has the largest parking lots in the world!"

"Why such large parking lots?" Nylessa asked.

Stivz smiled again. "Because DisneyLand is the happiest place on Earth."

Dusty came in over the radio. "In a few minutes," he said. "This Disneyland is gonna be the most violent place on Earth!"

Stivz yelled into his WristCom as he turned a corner towards the theme park. "Assault Mode!"

With that, Stivz pressed a button on the dash board, and the PowerForce became a huge fighting machine. The paint job turned from a cherry red to a sleek silver color, as if the paint was actually a skin. The enormous tires were pushed out from under the body of the truck, and the suspension of the PowerForce sank to just above ground level. Rally bars and large fog and off-road lights popped out on top of the roof, and the headlights spun around to reveal puck blaster channels. The PowerForce finally completed its transformation into Assault Mode. The other vehicles suddenly had weapons all over them.

Stivz and the vehicles pulled up to the edge of the parking lot. The park was closed, and the parking lot was empty. No bystanders were around, so no one would get hurt. Stivz smiled. He could shoot his puck rifle all he wanted here. Now all he had to do was activate his silver mask again and locate the two ships: The Talon and the Raptor.

The eyes in Stivz's mask turned from a cool blue to a blazing red as he activated it to hunt any cloaked Saurians hiding in the area. He looked at a cluster of trees, and then looked up above them. He could see the Raptor! And not too far from the Raptor, he saw the second ship.

"I see the ships!" Stivz said to the team. "My God, that second one is huge."

Just then, Donovan, Uvalde, and Muerte teleported onto the parking lot where the Ducks stood. Donovan immediately adjusted his tie and activated his sabre. Also, there was a flash of purple as Nylessa and Blade brought out their DuckSabres. Chance looked at Muerte strangely. He was wearing a black leather jacket just like her.

Muerte made the first move and pulled two blades from his straps and started circling Chance. Chance pushed her black sunglasses to the top of her beak and followed Muerte's motions with her eyes. Muerte attacked from the side. Chance simply grabbed Muerte's arm and tossed him yards away. Muerte hit the hot blacktop of the parking lot. When he opened his eyes, he heard a click. He then looked up the gunsights of James Pond's handgun, with James at the other end of the sights.

"I should shoot you right here, right now." James frowned. Dusty inturrupted him.

"Whoa James! Wait!" Dusty cried. James turned around and saw him walking up.

"Let's not be so greedy," Dusty said, inserting a puck clip into his puck blaster. "Save him for me also."

Muerte gulped and drew back away. James and Dusty both aimed for his feet and opened fire. Muerte danced to avoid having his scaly feet blown away.

Stivz and Betsy smiled to see that things were doing alright for the new Ducks. All of the sudden, Uvalde charged Stivz and gave him a hard shoulder, knocking him away and having him land hard on the concrete. Besty gasped as she saw Stivz skidding across the pavement. Stivz leaned up with his puck rifle in hand and charged it by cocking it. Stivz sent a dozen pucks towards Uvalde. Uvalde stuck out an arm and deflected all the pucks away. He then pulled out a tachyon blaster and fired at Stivz's hand. The blast knocked the rifle away from Stivz's hands. The rifle flew into the air and landed in a clear area. Stivz started crawling on his stomach to reach the rifle. He dodged the fire that Uvalde sent at him. He almost reached the rifle when Uvalde stopped firing. Right there, a green glow appeared and the huge form of Diablo materialized. Stivz grabbed the rifle, but Diablo's huge foot covered his hand and pressed it against the parking lot surface. Stivz started to grind his teeth in pain. His eyes closed shut. Stivz then found the courage to open his eyes and look up at the hideous face of Diablo. The eyes of his mask were a burning red. Diablo looked down at Stivz, grinning. Diablo then took his foot off Stivz's hand. Stivz grabbed his rifle and was just about to charge it when Diablo picked him up by the collar of his battle gear.

Diablo looked over Stivz and snorted. The fire inside his nostrils lit up, and smoke seeped out of them. The eyes were blood red like his skin, and his teeth were bared.

Uvalde watched what was happening to Stivz and was pleased. He was distracted enough for Betsy to sneak up behind him and fire a pair of bolo pucks around his feet and drill him in the back with a few pucks from her puck cannon. Uvalde fell to the ground and Betsy put one foot on his back, and shoved the puck cannon into his side. She then yelled over to Diablo.

"Hey Big Red!!" she yelled. Diablo looked over to her. Betsy charged the puck rifle to full power. Uvalde couldn't get up, and was virtually helpless. "Let go of him or I'll pump Mr. Steroids here with vulcanized rubber!!"

All of the other Ducks turned to see what Betsy was up to. Donovan stopped fighting with Blade and Nylessa to see what his master would do. James and Dusty gave Muerte enough time to chicken out and teleport out of the area.

When Diablo showed no signs of action, Donovan reached into his jacket and pulled out his tachyon blaster and aimed it Betsy's back. Blade saw the red and gray blaster and took a quick swing at the nozzel. The barrel came apart and Donovan looked down at the chopped off part. James aimed at Donovan from across the parking lot and fired. Two pucks connected hard with Donovan's chest and sent him back reeling. Nylessa reacted and swept Donovan out from under his feet. Donovan winced as he hit the ground. When he opened his eyes, two DuckSabre blades were at his neck.

Blade looked over at Nylessa. "Just one quick thrust could end this lizard's life, y'know."

"Yeah, just like overtime," Nylessa replied. "Sudden death."

Donovan gasped and teleported out of there as fast as he could. All the Ducks now aimed their weapons towards Diablo, who was still holding Stivz in the air. Diablo looked at all the Ducks. He knew he was in trouble. Diablo decided to be cool about it.

"So, which one of you is going to shoot me first?" he asked all the Ducks. He suddenly heard the sound of an engine humming. He looked down at Stivz, who was looking right straight back up at him.

"I am!" Stivz said with red eyes. He then fired all the rounds he could fire into Diablo's stomach. Diablo dropped Stivz and stumbled backwards. Stivz kapt walking towards Diablo, charging his rifle again. Diablo raised his arm to swing at Stivz, but Stivz fired and nailed Diablo in the left leg. Diablo fell to one knee, almost helpless. He fiddled with his Com as Stivz walked up.

"The next time you mess with the Mighty Ducks," Stivz yelled at Diablo. "Watch out for the Second Line! We'll be hunting you!!"

Diablo teleported out of the area. The Ducks ran to Stivz to see if he was alright. Stivz's mask's eyes went from a bright red to a cooler blue. "He's alright." Dusty snickered.

They all stood there, looking around them. Nothing, no one was there to see what had happened, or to find out what heroes they were, but they were still satisfied. Because now, they were real Mighty Ducks. The elite fighting force.
