Mighty Ducks-The Second Line
A New Threat, A New Hope
Part 4
Enter Silver
"Well, what do we do with her now?" Wildwing asked.
The Ducks had finished interviewing the young new Duck, Erin, from Impossi-World. They were all now trying to figure out how she could benefit the team.
"Well," said Mallory. "She's much to young to join us in combat."
Erin spoke up. "I am pretty good at computers, and a few electronics." Nosedive made a suggestion.
"Hey, maybe she can be a field tech expert or something. You know, be our eyes from the base."
Wildwing smiled as he scratched his beak. He then looked over towards Tanya's way. Tanya crossed her arms and smiled.
"I know." she said. "I'll take her and begin her training."
Tanya took Erin and walked to her lab. The other Ducks then stretched out on the furniture and began to relax on their day off.
Meanwhile in the Raptor, Diablo was sitting in Dragonous's large and pointed throne. Dragonous just looked at his big brother, not saying anything. Diablo watched the display screen as his henchmen, Donovan, Muerte, and Uvalde, were making their way towards the Pond's parking lot. Diablo turned towards Dragonous.
"You see, baby brother." Diablo said in a deep, curdling tone. "You make plans to take over the planet, but still have one key problem, namely the Ducks."
Diablo then turned towards the screen. "But if you really want to succeed, you have to take out the problem first." Diablo smiled as he saw his three deadly counterparts prepare for battle.
Stivz looked at his watch. He then realized the triangular logo of the Mighty Ducks. He thought about opening up his WristCom and trying to call home, but Dusty and James came up behind him.
"Yo, Stivz. What's up?!" James asked. Stivz turned around, revealing himself from behind his shoulders.
"Oh, nothing much. I was just wondering if we all could play a nice refreshing game of hockey."
"Sure!" said Dusty. "We can do that." He then turned to James. "Go get suited up, we're playing in five minutes."
James Pond then smiled and made his way towards his hockey bag with all his pads. Dusty then pointed out the hockey sticks to Stivz. Stivz walked over to the hockey stick rack as Dusty and the girls: Chance, Nylessa, Betsy, and Blade, walked over to a group of suitcases. As Dusty opened up his case, it hissed like it was pressurized. Stivz noticed the sound and turned to see all the girls open up their cases with the same, coke bottle sounds. Stivz looked over their shoulders and saw a hockey sticks, all in three different parts. As the team began to assemble the sticks, Dusty turned and saw Stivz. He then decided to explain the hockey sticks.
"I'm glad you noticed this, Stivz" he began. "You see, each of the these parts of the stick are filled with a special kind of fluid which hardens when you pound the butt end of the stick on the ground, like so."
Dusty quickly put the three pieces of the stick together and banged the back end of the stick on the hard ground. The stick suddenly glowed a bright yellow and then returned like it was, except it was all intact. Stivz raised his eyebrows. "Impressive."
"Unbreakable." Betsy said. "This stick can withstand any force played in street hockey. Sometimes we use these whenever we encounter members of the Authority."
"How did you get these sticks?" asked Stivz.
"These are from the courtesy of Blade and Nylessa." said Chance.
The two Ducks smiled and looked at each other. "You stole them?" asked Stivz again.
All the team nodded and smiled as they skated onto the main street hockey rink.
They played for arouns forty five minutes when Stivz decided to quit. He wiped off his sweaty face and beak with a towel and sat down. He propped his stick against the wall and deactivated his JetBlades. He looked up and saw Dusty and his team looking down at him. Stivz decided to tell them about Earth.
"Guys, I need to tell you something." he began. "I am originally from here in PuckWorld, but I am a member of an elite fighting team known as the Mighty Ducks back on another planet. I think I need to get back to them."
James blinked. "You wouldn't happen to be talking about these Ducks, would you?"
James walked over to a sheet and pulled it off a group of 7-foot statues of the original Mighty Ducks. Wildwing. Nosedive. Duke. Mallory. Grin. Tanya. Canard. Stivz looked at the statues, they were almost perfect.
"We managed to save these when the Authority took over." said Blade. "The leader, who ever he is, wanted all the statues of these Ducks destroyed for some reason."
Stivz looked at the team. He saw their dark eyes, and their rugged faces. He felt sorry for them, because he is a hunted Duck just like them. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the Saurian teleporter. "Do you guys really want to stay here? Or would you like to come with me back to this foreign planet?"
The Ducks looked at each other, and then their surroundings. They were tired of living on scraps, and making hit and runs against the Authority just to survive. They quickly got their duffle bags and suitcases and returned in front of Stivz. James took a knife and cut the net off of his goal.
Stivz then looked at his hand, the teleporter was set for a return trip to Earth. He then realized something.
"Wait! There's one more thing."
The eyes in Wildwing's golden mask began to glow bright. Wildwing had something bothering him, something wasn't right. He looked around him, all the Ducks were lounging around in the Rec. Room, reading or watching TV. Wildwing got up from his seat and walked to the Ready Room, and began scanning the survaillance monitors. Finally, he saw someting. Saurians!!
Wildwing ran back into the Rec. Room. The Ducks saw him and then jumped out of their seats. "Battle gear, Ducks!" yelled Wing. "We've got Saurians right at our doors!"
In the Lab, Tanya's WristCom sprung open. Nosedive's voice rang out. "Tanya, we've got company!! Leave the rookie and let's get movin'!"
Tanya nodded and told Erin to stay put, she then ran out of the Lab, locking it behind her so Erin would stay safe.
Outside, Wildwing, Duke, Mallory, and Grin met face to face with the new three Saurians.
"Who are you, you clowns?!" yelled Duke. The new lizards drew their weapons. Donovan spoke.
There's a new lizard in town, and you menacing Ducks are finished!!" Donovan drew his sword and charged Duke. Duke swiped his DuckSabre and blocked Donovan's strike away. Uvalde began a hand-to-hand combat with Grin and Wildwing, pushing them both to their knees, and Mallory was trying to get a shot on the jumpy Muerte, who dodged every puck that Mal fired his way.
Nosedive burst through the doors of the Pond to help out his fellow Ducks in the parking lot. Tanya came out right after him. Nosedive made a bee-line towards the back of Muerte and charged. Dive then sent the lizard flying from a hard shoulder. "Fire at the green of their scales!" yelled Dive. He took out his two hand puck blasters and fired at the tail of Muerte. The little lizard ran off, yelling into his communicator.
"Boss, send in the others!"
Diablo got up from his throne and looked at Dragonous. "This is another thing I need to tell you about." he said. "Sometimes you actually have to get up off your ass and do it yourself."
Diablo looked down at his teleporter and looked at his younger brother. "You coming?"
Dragonous sighed. "Oh, very well."
He fiddled with his wrist and then, all the lizards on the Raptor disappeared.
Wildwing and Grin suddenly got a second wind and pushed Uvalde back. Mallory took this opportunity and began to fire speeding pucks at him. Uvalde put up an arm and deflected afew pucks away, but was still being pushed back. Duke and Donovan still fought each other, baring their teeth at each other. Donovan's hideous raptor-like snout showed razor-sharp teeth. Duke saw the teeth, and quickly took a punch in Donovan's face. The well-dressed lizard stumbled back. Duke stood back a little. Suddenly, a red flash sent him flying, landing on a fire hydrant. Donovan jumped to his feet and stuck his blade at Duke's neck. He smiled.
Wildwing turned and saw five lizards teleport in front of him. Dragonous, his henchmen, and the much larger Diablo. Wildwing looked up at the large tyrannosaur-like Saurian. He looked down at Wildwing and grinned. "So," he boomed. "You are now the holder of the infamous mask of Drake DuCaine."
Wildwing's red eyes glowed at Diablo. He continued. "Are you sure you can handle the responsibility of being the keeper of such power? It's quite a responsibitly!"
Wildwing had heard enough. He lunged at Diablo with his ice shield armed. Diablo swatted at him and sent him flying tens of feet away. Wildwing crashed into the side of a dumpster. Mallory ran to tend to him. Nosedive, Grin, and Tanya held their ground. Duke finally snapped back into consciousness. He looked up the brilliant blade of the sword Donovan held.
"Recognise this??" Donovan asked, raising his eyebrows. "It belonged to your great-grandfather. One of my ancestors apparently defeated him."
Donovan brought up the blade for Duke to see better. On the handle of the sword was the carved initials of his great-grandfather: S.L'Orange.
Duke lunged off his back, only to be met by the sharp end of the sword. "Not so fast, Duck!"
Diablo once again tirned to his sulking companion. "You see, I've also taught my associates that if there is an opportunity, to take it."
Diablo then announced to all the henchmen, including Dragonous's.
"Kill them."
Siege, Chameleon, Wraith, Donovan, Muerte, and Uvalde all began advancing towards the surrounded Ducks. Wildwing was injured already, and all he could to was suffer and watch his friends be slaughtered. Nothing, or no one was there to help them. This was literally the end.
A green-purplish flash of light shined above all the action, and strong gusts of wind followed. All the Ducks and lizards shielded their eyes as the green light got brighter.
"What's going on?!" yelled Dragonous. Diablo looked at him confused.
"I don't know. What did you do, Draggy!?"
Dragonous shrugged. He looked for some sign of what was going on. Too bad for him that the problem was right behind he and Diablo.
A sharp pain shot through Dragonous's back. He suddenly realized that he was now on the ground. Stivz suddenly turned and opened fire on all the lower lizards. All the lizards took cover and teleported out of the area. Donovan backed off of Duke, and Duke then took the advantage. He took a swipe at Donovan, and the lizards suit was now slashed. Donovan gasped as he also teleported out of the area. Stivz ran to Wildwing's side and looked at the one remaining Saurian: Diablo.
And suddenly, as if by reflex, Stivz's silver mask appeared on his beak, the eyes turning from a mild blue to an enraged red. Stivz growled under his breath and stood up in front of Wildwing, protecting him just in case the large tyranno tried something sneaky.
"Who the hell are you?" Stivz called out.
Diablo grinned as he played with his communicator. "I'm your new worst enemy."
Diablo reached into his armor and revealed a small devise. He threw it at the feet of Stivz. It started to blink and beep faster and faster. Stivz's eyes grew wide as he picked it up and threw it far to an open section of the parking lot. The devise exploded into a huge thunder and fireball. It left a huge crater in the west parking lot. When Stivz turned around, Diablo was teleporting away, cackling at the Ducks.
"Stivz!" said Nosedive. "Wher've you been, buddy?"
Stivz looked at his friends. "Business trip, I guess."
Stivz turned around to see his new friends from PuckWorld.
"Oh, yeah." Stivz added. "I made a few new friends when I was away."
He extended his arm towards the new six Ducks behind him. Dusty, James, Chance, Betsy, Blade, and Nylessa. "Introducing, the Second Line."
Wildwing smiled as he got up from the ground. "More Ducks? This is unbelieveable!"
Stivz smiled as the rest of the Ducks gathered around. Stivz was now reunited with his friends, and a new team of Ducks were here to help in the fight against Dragonous, and now the new Diablo.
