The ducks finally made it to a ledge for them to rest on after their long, tiring climb.
"Why are we doing this, Wildwing?" Nosedive groaned rubbing his sore feet.
"Simple little brother, we need to get to this Ultimate Weapon before Dragonise does, so lets get a move on" he said getting back to his feet.
The rest of the team groaned as they got back up and started their climb to the very top. After about half an hour of climbing they got to their destination and started looking for the Ultimate Weapon.
Although they looked the rest of the day with no luck, Wildwing kept looking; for what, he didn't know.
Then a woman's scream echoed through the mountains. Wanting action, Nosedive was the first one to find her.
A brown haired girl was fighting one of Dragonis's monsters. From the looks of the land she had been fighting a lot more of them before they arrived. Her small body was caked in blood, along with dirt, grass and other things.
"Leave me alone!" she growled as her hand went into its eye socket.
It screamed in agony, throwing her into a tree as it thrashed around. The girl stood up shaking, then fainted from exaction as the monster deteriorated into nothing. Nosedive ran up to her and looked her over, it was hared to tell what blood was hers and what belonged to that monster.
"Hay guys she needs help" he gently picked her up off the grown and went back to the others.
A FEW HOURS LETER
They got back home and left the girl in Tonya's care as the rest of them went into the living room to rest.
"I can't believe we came back with her, and found no Ultimate Weapon"
"Duke does have a point, I mean what are we gunna do with her"
The sound of Tonya's yelp after being thrown against the wall cough their attention. When they all got there, the girl was using the wall to support her shaking body. Nosedive nearly died over that fact that the only thing covering her fragile body, was a few bandages and a white, almost clear sheet.
"W-who the hell a-are you, and w-where am I?" she asked trying to make her shaky voice as stern as she was able to.
Still very weak, the girl collapsed when her legs gave out from under her.
Wildwing walked over to her slowly and steady to show he meant no harm, then knelt down beside her.
"You're gunna be ok, we'll take care of you" he looked over at Tonya and Mallory, "Get her something to wear." He ordered in a stern yet gentle tone.
Wildwing carefully put one hand on her lower back and the other under one of her arm, then softly lifter her back to her feet.
Tonya and Mallory walked over and put on of her arms over each of their shoulder and helped her to Malory's room.
The girl watched them dig through Malory's closet for something that could fit her. They finally found some clothes and set them next to her. She dropped the sheet and had Malory and Tonya help her get dressed. After fifteen minutes of figuring out what went where, she was dressed. The girl was wearing a loose pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt; the neck was so big that it hung off of her left shoulder, revealing her bra strap.
They looked her over admiring their work. When Tonya opened the door Nosedive fell flat on his beak. He looked up at them with a nervous grin on his face.
"What were you doing outside the door, Nosedive?" Malory asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Well, you guys were in here for so long, I thought something went wrong" he said, jumped back to his feet rubbing the back of his head
"She looks nice" he said sarcastically looking the girl over.
That caused Tanya and Mallory to get pissed, they started arguing with Nosedive forgetting about the girl.
She looked back and forth watching them argue. After she grew bored with them, she snuck out of the room.
She wondered around getting hopelessly lost in the nest. Her huge brown eyes looked around, until she bumped into something.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you" she mumbled.
Grin set his hand on her shoulder to steady her "It was not you fault miss"
"My name is Sarafean, not miss"
"Well then Sarafean, I bet your starving and would like to eat"
She nodded slightly and followed the hug duck to the kitchen. Grin pulled out a chair for her and she sat.
As he cooked, Grin hummed a little tune. Sarafean watched him curiously, tilting her head to the side some. After he was done cooking, Grin set the food on a place and placed it in front of her. His eyes widened as he watched her devourer the food like it was the last thing she will ever eat. After she was done she looked up at him.
"Glad to see you had a big appetite" he said with a sweet smile.
"Big appetite, she eats more then you Grin" Nosedive walked in laughing at his own joke. Sarafean just looked at him confused as she wiped some of the food off her mouth with her shirt sleeve.
"One who knows what they want is easy to please unlike you Nosedive" he said calmly, defending Sarafean
"Yah, Nosedive leave the girl alone." Duke walked in and ruffled the young drake's hair. The intercom came on; Wildwing ordered the team to get ready for practice. Sarafean looked at everyone in confusion.
"Come with me I'll show you what he's talking about." She stood up and followed Duke until they got to the arena. Sarafean looked around in amassment she had never seen anything so big before. Hundreds of rows of seats, lights, shining down on the iterance. Then the amazement was interrupted when Nosedive tossed her a pair of skates.
"What am I suppose to do with these?" she asked, looking at him with innocent eyes.
"Put them on your feet and get on the ice."
"Oh," she sat on the grown and put them on her feet.
Sarafean took the laces in both her hands and just stared at the shoe
"Come on it cant be that hared to tie your shoe." Nosedive said a little irritated.
"I-I'm sorry, I…"
Wildwing came up to them and bent down beside her feet. She watched as he tied her skates for her.
"I…"
"Don't worry about it; and don't be bothered by Nosedive. He's just been a butt lately.
He helped her up and skated back on the ice next to Nosedive. Wildwing grabbed his brother by his shirt coaler and pulled him close.
"You better not talk to her again like that, understand little brother?"
Nosedive nodded as Wildwing let go of his shirt and skated towered the others.
Sarafean walked onto the ice, unknowing how slippery it was, her feet started to swerve and she fell on her butt. Nosedive was gunna make a smart ass remark until he saw Wildwing glaring at him.
Wildwing skated over to Sarafean and helped her up, he seemed so patient with her considering she was a mess.
For the rest of practice he tout her how to skate; after a while she seemed like a pro at it, like she always knew how. Wildwing walked over to Tonya after practice.
"I want you to find anything you can about Sarafean" he whispered to her.
She nodded and went back into the base as Wildwing walked over to Sarafean, who was trying to untie her skates.
"Need any help"
"No I got it" she looked at him with huge light, brown eyes "Thank you for asking."
After she got her skated undone, Sarafean and Wildwing walked back into the nest.
