Legacy.

Hello this is the sequel to Unusual Allies, which means if you haven't read that you're unlikely to get pretty much the entire story. Anywho we left off with the saurians having taken over Earth, Draganus' daughter Alicia helped the guys home all except for Canard who stayed behind to find the fifteen year old Angel. Wildwing went willingly with his childhood sweetheart (everybody say aww) because he thought Nosedive was dead (gasp!). Now that we've gone through that there's just left to say I don't own the original characters (If I did then I would so have made damn well sure it was still airing and there were far more episodes!) and finally I had better warn all you faint of hearts that this story may contain torture and rape so if ya don't like it don't read it!

Chapter One:

Nosedive's heart was racing as he ran along the corridor behind Phil, Thrash and Mookie towards the lower vehicle bay, behind them was an entire army of saurians searching for them. As yet their foes had not found them but he could hear two maybe three not far behind them and just to make him feel great he still hadn't recovered fully from his concussion. They were nearly to the door and he breathed a sigh of relief then gasped as he felt a searing pain go right through his right shoulder and the lower left hand side of his back. His knees gave way and he fell to the ground, he saw the others turn and Mookie turned him over crying and holding onto him, Phil and Thrash shook as they fired their puck blasters for the first time. Nosedive knew he would probably die and wished he could see Wildwing again just one more time. Phil fell to the ground and Mookie screamed as she stared into his now glassy eyes, Thrash fell to his knees and the three waited for the inevitable. The saurians approached a look of pure pleasure in what they were doing on their faces, one placed his blaster on Thrash's forehead.

"No don't hurt him please!" Mookie screamed sobbing.

"I don't care what the boss says," the one holding his blaster to Thrash's head told his comrade, "I want blood, we are saurians! We never took prisoners in the golden age, why should we now!" Nosedive tried to block out the pain and fear he felt but couldn't help but watch as the saurian started to pull the trigger Thrash shook and tears ran down his cheek but the blackness he was expecting never came; the saurians eyes went wide and he fell forward making Thrash yelp and get out of his way. The other saurian and the three kids noticed a dagger in his back at the base of his scull, the saurian spun round and raised his weapon scanning the empty hallway.

"Come out and fight coward!" it yelled growling. He waited a moment then started to make his way back along the corridor, just as he reached the bend a flash of light went through his neck and he fell, the head rolling along the floor leaving a trail of blood as it went. Nosedive tried to see who it was but found his vision going black and his body going numb, he did however notice just before he blacked out a soft hand holding his face along with a scent and voice he vaguely recognised.

"We have to go." Angel said taking over and pulling out a first aid kit out of a pack on her back and started to dress Nosedive's laser wounds. She, Thrash and Mookie turned to the nearest saurian when they heard Draganus speaking.

"Rig the facility to blow and get out of there."

"Oh no what do we do?" Mookie almost screeched.

"We stay calm," Angel said reassuringly as she checked Phil for any sign of life but found none, "and we get out of here, then we can help your world and the other ducks."

"But Nosedive. . ." Mookie started to protest.

"Will be fine," Angel said, "I know enough to help him, but I need time to do it and if they blow this place we'll all be dead!" Mookie nodded and Thrash got up off the floor to help Angel with Nosedive.

"Where to?" Thrash asked her.

"We go up then we can use the airowing to blast our way out just as they blow this place and use the dust cloud it'll cause to mask our escape." Angel replied as they got to the elevator and she prayed they had enough time to get to the top level before it blew. All three rushed out as soon as the doors swished open and made their way over to the airowing, once inside they made sure Dive was comfortable and Angel started it up.

"What are you doing?" Thrash asked as he found Angel furiously typing at the onboard computer.

"I'm trying to hack into the ship Draganus is using to give us a heads up as to when to fire this baby up." She replied.

"What happens if their ships detect us?" Mookie asked from further back where she was wiping Dive's forehead with a damp cloth.

"That's where my little upgrades come in," Angel said not looking up, "there's a programme I installed that can send out a signal to any scanning ship that will make us totally invisible to its computers. Even if they try to scan for heat signatures they won't find us, but we have to make our escape quick cause it won't cloak us like their shields will, to the naked eye we'll be totally visible."

"Cool." Thrash said thoroughly impressed.

"Why don't you go back there and help Mookie with Nosedive," Angel said finally glancing up as she hacked into the ships frequency, "I've switched on the portable medicom unit so it should be assessing his condition but the main thing is to stop the bleeding, he'll probably need more bandages soon." Thrash had paled at the mention of blood so when she started suggesting actually dealing with it he felt sick and ran to the toilet near the back in the cargo bay. Angel simply blinked, shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Men." She muttered.

She didn't have to wait long as her sensors picked up a radio frequency beamed to the base she powered up the thrusters to full power and as soon as she heard the first explosion she blasted the hanger doors and flew the airowing out. She got it up to full speed and headed in the opposite direction to the flag ship. Angel switched the plane to auto pilot and rushed back to Nosedive and felt herself hesitate; he was going to need more than a hospital to survive.

"Stand back guys." She told them, "Healing power burning white," she muttered under her breath and then placed her hands over him, "recovery." She kept her eyes closed and for a sickening moment she thought the ancient spell hadn't worked but two small gasps from behind her told her otherwise. Thrash And Mookie watched as Angel's hands were surrounded by a brilliant gold light that engulfed Nosedive's wounds and after a few minutes his face changed from a pained expression to a more peaceful one and his breathing became more regular.

"Woah, what was that Angel?" Thrash asked staring at her in awe.

"It was a spell I watched a healer perform a lot when I was little," she replied walking unsteadily over to the controls again, "it was one of the few spells I had time to learn before the saurians destroyed my kind."

"You mean it was like magic!" Mookie asked sounding excited.

"Yes, magic was the foundation to our society," Angel explained as she brought up a few maps on the computer screen to see where would be safest to set down, "we still had technology like space ships and the like, in fact my planet was quite advanced, but my people still used magic for most things, that's why the saurians feared us they had all but forgotten the magic they once used to make them a formidable race of warlords, and although they quite easily managed to take over my planet my people were one of the few kinds that were deemed too much of a threat to keep any of them alive." Angel tried to keep her little story as emotionless as possible she knew if she lost control of those emotions and they were spotted it would mean the difference between life and death. She finally chose a forest not far from where they were now flying and changed course accordingly.

"Angel?" Mookie asked as she placed a blanket over Nosedive and gently tucked him in.

"Yes Mookie?"

"Will he be okay?" she asked, "I mean did your spell work?"

"I'm not all that powerful so he'll probably be pretty weak for a few days, a week maybe but he should be fine." Angel tried to give her a reassuring smile. They didn't talk for the rest of the journey and Angel set the airowing down in a clearing just large enough to fit the plane but small enough to conceal them unless they looked really closely.

Nosedive groaned and sat up, looking around he realised he was in the airowing. For a moment he couldn't remember why or how he was on the stealth ship but then he remembered the saurians and being shot and groaned again, he pulled himself to his feet and although a little shaky went to find the others.

"Nosedive!" Mookie screamed and threw her arms around his neck.

"How do ya feel man?" Thrash asked.

"Shaky but okay," Nosedive replied, "I thought I was a gonner."

"You nearly were," Mookie said stepping back from Dive, "but Angel knew this really cool spell that saved you, it was so cool!"

"Spell?" Nosedive said sceptically.

"Trust me man you'd have to see it to believe it." Thrash supplied.

"Oh," Nosedive rubbed the back of his neck with his right hand, "where is Angel?"

"Oh she's gone back to the city to steal us some supplies and see if she can find out anything about the others." Mookie told him then noticed his face fall.

"Wing still hasn't recovered from his injuries," Dive said absently then his face grew dark, "if Draganus hurts him I swear I'll kill him."

"Well I wouldn't worry about that." Angel said from the cargo bay door.

"Hey Angel you're back." Mookie stated the obvious.

"What do you mean?" Dive asked Angel before the conversation topic was totally changed.

"I have good new and bad news," Angel said as she passed them and placed a pack slung over her shoulder on the floor next to the storage room, "the good news is that not only will the saurians not be looking for us yet, but your brother's escaped!"

"Great!" Dive yelled, "When do we go find him and the others?"

"That brings us to the bad news," Angel looked straight at Nosedive unsure of how to tell him what she had to say so she decided to just spit it out, "everyone thinks you're dead so they. . . they went home."

"They went home without me?" Nosedive said feeling just a little betrayed.

"From what I could find out Wildwing was pretty gutted about your death," Angel told him, "I haven't known you long but even I can tell how much you two meant to each other, whilst he knew you were alive he'd keep fighting." Angel placed a hand on his shoulder but Dive looked away, "but when he thought you were dead. . ."

"He gave up." Dive finished, "He gave up cause of me!" Dive turned and slammed his fist into the nearest wall making it bleed.

"Well that was productive." Angel said watching him not entirely sure what to do.

"And so male." Mookie agreed.

"I need to be alone." Dive said and walked out of the airowing and started to wonder off into the forest.

"Will he be okay?" Angel asked worried.

"I hope so," Thrash replied, "he's gotta teach me and Mook how to use a puck blaster." But Angel wasn't listening she started off after Nosedive. Thrash and Mookie shrugged and started to rummage through Angel's pack to see what she'd stolen. Angel followed his tracks and soon caught up with him at a small stream. He sat beside it and played with the water as tears streamed down his face.

"I thought I said I wanted to be alone." He said not looking up.

"I'm sorry I was worried," Angel said sheepishly, "besides friends are supposed to comfort each other right?" She said smiling nervously, "we . . . we are friends aren't we." Nosedive smiled despite himself, Angel was so confident when she fought or in front of strangers but when you took the time to get to know her she was really self conscious and unsure, all that confidence was just an act.

"Yeah Angel we're friends," he said finally looking at her, "best friends."

"Really?" She asked sitting down beside him, "I've never had a best friend before."

"Never?" Dive watched her face as she tried to think and stifled a laugh when she made a weird face.

"I don't really remember before the invasion on our planet," she said looking up into the sky, "and the people who brought me up lived way up in the mountains so there wasn't anyone else there to play with all I did was train, then when we were found and I escaped I stole a ship and I've been mostly by myself since."

"Sounds lonely."

"I guess but you can't really miss something you never had so it never really bothered me," Angel turned to him, "besides I enjoyed blowing those creepy lizards up and stealing their loot!" Angel noticed Dive was staring at her intently and a slight blush came to her face, "What?"

"You're crazy you know that," he said softly shaking his head then noticed her blush deepen, "are you blushing?" He teased.

"No," she looked away and covered her cheeks with her hands, "space pirates never blush."

"I don't think you're a real space pirate," Dive told her, "you're not one of the bad guys and you're certainly not as bad as Duke makes out, if you were I wouldn't be here right now. I owe you my life Angel." There was an uncomfortable pause as they stared at each other.

"Oh it was nothing!" Angel said a little too loudly then paused for a little bit, "so what do we do now?"

"Start a resistance I guess." Dive replied.

"First we need somewhere to keep our gear," Angel said thinking out loud, "somewhere the saurians can't find us."

"There was an army base just out side of Anaheim," Dive said, "what about there?"

"No go it's too high profile." Angel replied then her face brightened, "OO but I bet I can hack into their systems and find one suitable and if there's still any army guys at the base we choose we can give them a heads up that we're coming."

"Okay," Dive said enthusiastically, "but I'm going with you."

"No we need you to fly the airowing, if I need a quick getaway then you're our best pilot." Dive looked like he was about to protest but decided against it.

"But Thrash and Mookie are no way good enough to go with you. You can't go alone Angel." Dive pleaded with her.

"I been up against worse," she told him touched that he cared; "besides we're in just as much danger staying here, it won't be long before they notice the airowing through those trees."

"I guess, Just be careful okay?" Dive said.

"I will," she replied kissing his cheek, making him blush, and then she got up and headed back the way they came, "you coming?" Nosedive grinned and ran past her towards the airowing, Angel made and indignant cry and ran after him.

Hey hey what do you think? Toodles Angel xxx
