The Runaways

Chapter 1:

Tanya skated down the ice fast as possible at Wildwing, trying to get a puck past him. He was really on his game today. No one could seem to get any pucks past him. The only one so far had been Nosedive, who shot it so fast that Wildwing didn't have time to block.

Duke blocked and checked Tanya into the boards... for a little longer then necessary. "Always nice getting some face time with you Sweetheart." Tanya rolled her eyes and blushed, "Oh please Duke."

Nosedive went in for the steal only to have Mallory come up fast and snatched it from him. "Too slow Nosedive." She taunted. "That's what you think girly girl." Skating after her and he went for a steal only to have Mallory move it away from him, using her body to block his path to the puck, Grin came in a block Nosedive from following her. Allowing Mallory to move down the rink freely towards the net that Wildwing guarded.

Duke started charging her from the other side so she went behind the goal, locking eyes with Tanya hoping she would interpret what she was trying to tell her. Tanya got it and moved in. Mallory made it look like she was going to take a shot right next to Wildwing. "Too close Mal." He said grinning and moving to block but at the last minute Mallory passed the puck to Tanya and Tanya shot it at Wildwing's unblocked side. It was about to go in when Wildwing's leg shot out and blocked it just as the buzzer went off signaling the end of the practice game.

Nosedive and Duke celebrated with a high-five. Mallory and Tanya skated over to them and congratulated them on a good practice. "Good practice guys." Said Wildwing joining them. Drake One's Alarm went off causing the ducks to jump. "Let's move team!" Said Wildwing as they ran down to the computer. Tanya jumped on the computer and began typing away. It's a very large energy signature. "That's gotta be Draganus!" Said Mallory.

"Let's rock ducks!" Said Wildwing, everyone followed him out.

…..

At the sight of the energy signal in the Warehouse district, Siege, Wraith, and Chameleon were preparing to put the plan into action. A machine with a bomb attached to it was filled with what looked like sparkling purple dust .It was sitting in the center of the warehouse and Siege was trying to prep the timer on it. "This thing will through all this stuff up into the atmosphere and once Wraith casts his spell everyone will be under Lord Draganus's control."

"Hurry up with that stuff Siege. The duckies will be here any minute." Said the Chameleon hopping from one foot to the other.

"Shut your face. It's almost ready."Siege growled.

"Oh I fear the worst." Bemoaned Wraith.

"Just do your part Wraith! Complete the spell and everything should be fine. Even the ducks will be under our control."

"Just as long as you do your part and don't blunder it, you Buffoon!" Siege and Wraith stuck their tongues out at each other like children.

Chameleon interrupted their little verbal spat. "I hope you two are done cause here they come!"

"You ducks can't stop us." Yelled Siege.

Wildwing was in the lead of the group coming up on them. "Don't bet on it Siege."

Mallory and Tanya split off to fight Wraith, Wildwing and Nosedive took on the Chameleon, and Duke and Grin fought Siege. Mallory and Tanya had the upper hand on Wraith when he knocked both their guns out of their hands with his long tail. This was unexpected since he never used it in a fight. Mallory and Tanya dodged his fire balls which were fire at them in rapid succession. He pushed them back until they were next to the machine.

Wraith almost hissed upon realizing that Siege didn't get to set the timers and they were already losing! Thinking quick he shot the glass tube holding the dust and sent it all over Mallory and Tanya. Both started coughing and trying to wipe the dust from their faces. "Tanya what is this stuff?" Coughed Mallory. Tanya looked over at Mallory to see that she was almost completely purple! "I have no idea!"

Feeling a dizziness come over them both Mallory and Tanya nocticed that the sound of battle was drown out and everything became quiet and still. All except for the sound to Wraith's voice as he began chanting a spell. They could barely stand and felt like they were going to black out when Wraith's voice was cut off by the sound of him grunting as he was hit with Siege's body, curtsy of Grin.

"Idiot get off me!" Growled Wraith. "These Ducks! Sometimes I just wish they would ran off on a permanent vacation." Mallory's and Tanya's eyes glowed the same shade of purple as the dust and then returned to normal. Shaking it off quickly they both focused their efforts on capturing Draganus's goons. No one seemed to notice this but Wraith. "And I had thought that there would be no affect if I didn't finish the incantation. Looks like I have some influence over their minds. But how much?" The lizards all activated their teleporters and escaped.

Mallory and Tanya, looked over at the now broken machine. "What do you think he was trying to do? He shot in on purpose, I know that much." Said Mallory with her hands on her hips. Tanya nodded, I'm not sure but I better collect some of this stuff to see what it's made of and run some tests." Tanya gather up some of the dust with her Omitool.

Tanya looked to Wildwing, "Everyone should keep their distance from me and Mallory. Just in case you know it has negative affects."

Wildwing nodded, "alright team let's head out." With that the ducks followed him into the Migrator. Duke kept looking back at Tanya to make sure she was ok. "Hopefully nothing is wrong with them." He thought to himself.

Wildwing looked over at Mallory "You ok?" He asked, checking her over for injuries. Mallory waved off his concern with a smile. "Yeah I'm fine."

…..

Back at the Pond Tanya finished her analysis on what was in the power and found it to be nothing special. "It must be for some sort of spell." The ingredients are weird so one can only assume." Laughed Tanya.

"Wait what do you mean weird?" Mallory looked down at her body in concern.

"Trust me you don't want to know." Said Tanya waving her hand back and forth in a brushing off kind of motion. Just to be safe she and Mallory went to the large locker room showers to clean off their suits and themselves.

…..

In the showers, Mallory decided that it was the prefect opportunity to have a talk with Tanya.

"Have you ever thought about maybe taking a little vacation?" Mallory waited for a response but turned around when she heard nothing. Tanya was looking at her like she had three heads.

"Your kidding right! With everything that is going on, I don't think that it is even an option at this point. Though I have thought about it." Said Tanya, looking off to the side.

"I don't know, I just feel like I need to get away for a while. Would you want to go with me? Make it like a girls vacation, you know."

Tanya smiled at Mallory "Well, I don't know maybe. For some reason part of me really likes the idea."

"Yeah me too! Before I would have thought that it was a crazy idea but now I think between everything that has been happening we could use a little time off. Besides it's feeling a little cramped in here with certain men if you know what I mean. I noticed that Duke seems to be perusing you."

"Well... ah, he ah, you know he's flirting a lot and has been a little more... I don't know. He likes to touch me a lot. Like will lay his hand on mine more and is putting himself next to me more now. I just started noticing it."

Mallory sighed. "Yeah that's kind of happening with me and Wildwing. He seems to be getting more, I don't know... familiar but then there are times when he is completely cut off... And I understand needing to be a leader and keeping your head clear, don't get me wrong. But I'm talking about even when we are not on missions. It's like he's hot and he's cold in seconds. So it's a little confusing."

Tanya nodded her head, "Yeah I no-noticed that too. I've been wondering if he is actually interested or if it's a passing fancy." Mallory looked stunned by her statement. Tanya realizing what she said turned to her slightly panicked. "Wait I didn't, I mean... I was just thinking about Duke and the way he has been acting and projected onto you. I, I mean you told me about how he and Nosedive were all over Lucretia Decoy... It feels like he is settling for the leftovers." Tanya cringed when she saw Mallory look down in concentration. "No Tanya, I think you may have hit the nail right on the head."

"No Mallory, come on. He does like you. I mean he did kiss you that one time in the hall..." Mallory froze, "Wait you saw that?"

Tanya had the decency to blush, "Well to be fair it wasn't like I was spying. I was coming to talk to you when I heard Wildwing's and your voices. Ah I mean, I didn't think much of it, so when I turned the corner to see him, you know lean forward and kiss you on the side of the beak. I was kinda surprised but I wanted to give you two your privacy." Said Tanya rubbing the back of her neck.

"Well thanks for that but there was no need. After he did that he became distant and I think he regrets it." Mallory went back to washing her hair.

They both looked at each other and set their eye's in determination. Without even speaking they both nodded and knew that they had to plan this vacation.

…..

Back on the Raptor.

"You blithering incompetent idiots! You failed me again!" Yelled Draganus as his henchmen cowered before them.

"My lord there is good news. The two female ducks Tanya and Mallory were covered in the dust. I had almost finished the incantation when this buffoon landed on me. While I didn't get the chance to complete the spell we do have a degree of influence on their minds." Wraith bowed before Draganus. Draganus seemed please by this. "Yes. With those two we could use them to destroy the other ducks from the inside out."

"Unfortunately My Lord we don't have that much control but we could try to get them away from their team by causing discord among them."

"And how do you propose we do that Wraith if we don't have that much control over them." Asked an annoy Draganus, his nostrils letting out twin streams of smoke.

"We send in two female ducks that work for us from Puckworld to replace and push out the other two females. Then when they leave we capture them and finish the spell. With them on our side we should be able to defeat the ducks once and for all." Wraith was gleeful at the end of his explanation.

Draganus gave a wicked smile. "You have done well Wraith." He turned to Siege, "Activate the dimensional gate way! We need two old friends from Puckworld and I know just the girls. Hehahaha."

…..

Mallory met Tanya in her room to begin planning the big vacation. She knocked and waited for a response. Tanya opened the door with a smile at Mallory, letting her in.

Mallory sat on her couch waiting for Tanya to join her. She looked to Tanya with excitement in her eyes, looking a little too eager, "Lets plan this vacation!"

2 hours later Mallory and Tanya had a solid vacation planned.

"I'm sooooo excited to do this. Now we just need to figure out when to do it!" Mallory looked ready to dance around the room.

…..

While the girls were having their talk, they didn't realize that they had an extra listener. Duke was out in the hall listening through the door. "So the girls are going to run away on a vacation with out us huh." He listened for a little longer and moved away slowly not to cause any suspicion. "Better go talk to Wildwing about this and his tactics towards Mallory."

…..

Wildwing finished his shower and dressed quickly. Duke contacted him on the com, saying that he needed to speak with him in person and that it was urgent. Hearing the knocking on his door he went and let Duke in. "Duke what's up?"

"Well, it seems Mallory and Tanya are planning a little vacation off to Europe by themselves."

"What!? Why?"

"Yah, that's what I said." Duke crossed his arms over his chest.

"They didn't feel this was something that they should tell their team captain not to mention that this is not the time for vacations!" Wildwing's surprised voice could be heard through his metal door.

Duke shrugged his shoulders. "Think it has to do with us?"

Wildwing looked at Duke with narrowed eyes. "What do you mean?"

"Oh come on Wildwing! You have been so off and on with Mallory that I'm confused and I'm not even in the relatinship." Wildwing sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "It's hard to explain Duke but I suppose your right, I can't help it though. I shouldn't be starting anything with her since I'm the captain but at the same time I really want to. It's confusing for me too."

Duke nodded. "I get it Wing, but she doesn't. If you keep this up she's going to think your doing this as a passing fancy."

"Well what if it is one?" Wildwing looked up at Duke. Duke seemed surprised by this. He didn't think that Wildwing was that kind of guy! "I'm not saying I want to use her and lose her. I'm saying what if I don't like her as much as I thought and then I've just screwed up a relationship with a teammate!"

"Hum... well I get that also. But what if she finds an interest else where."

Wildwing rolled his eyes. "With who? A human?"

"There are other males on the team Wildwing. Your brother certainly found her attractive when she walked out of her room all dressed up after that Lucretia Decoy incident. He almost fell over himself, hell I did too! If Lucretia was a 10 then Mal was a 12. I'm tellin' ya Wing, she hot."

Wildwing raised a eyebrow at that. He had never seen Mallory dressed up before, he was kind of jealous he didn't get the chance to. "Look Duke first of all Nosedive wouldn't go after her because he knows that I like her. Grin wouldn't go after her cause he's Grin. Are you saying you want her?" His eyes narrowed on Duke with a territorial edge.

Duke held his hands up "Wow, though I do think that she is a beautiful duck, my interests are in Tanya."

Wildwing nodded. "Ok so what is there to worry about? I just need some time to think it through that's all." Duke was resigned. "Ok these are all good points but try to think of it from her side and how she would view it."

With that food for thought Duke bid Wildwing goodnight and was off to bed. Wildwing sat back on his couch and thought over what Duke said. "How does she view this? Well maybe I just need to put a hold on things for a bit until I figure this out. I don't want to hurt her." With that Wildwing turned in for the night.

…..

It was 3am when Drake One went off awaking everyone out of there sleep. The team was up and gathered in front of the computer awaiting the update. "There is a huge energy signal coming from south of Anaheim! This is the biggest I've seen!" Tanya turned to Wildwing waiting for orders.

"To the Arrowwing!" Wildwing ordered.

…..

Meanwhile Wraith was explaining his plan to the two female ducks. "You understand Samantha."

The female with dark long black hair smirked. She had blue eyes with a figure like Lucretia. "Perfectly" She looked over to the brown haired and brown eyed duck with her. This female known as Casey was a little taller then her but had just as lovely of a build. Both were just as pretty as Lucretia. Casey smirked, "This will be a walk in the park." A slightly crazed look entered the brown haired ducks eyes while looking at her own vile of white powder. "You sure this stuff will make them crazy about us." "Yes! It was made so that each powder will make them specifically attracted to you but use it sparingly since it's affects will only last for so long. A few a hours at most but don't miss a dosage. Now get in your chains and be sure to beat yourselves up a little." With that both females smirked at each other and proceeded to land a couple of punches on the others face.

Wraith went off to the side to hide behind some rocks. That way he to could place the seed of doubt into Mallory's and Tanya's minds without interruption and influence their decisions. "If only I had more of that incantation dust then I could just try over."

…..

They arrived to find Draganus's goons had two female ducks looking pretty beat up and in chains. They were being dragged by Siege and the Chameleon towards some kind of vehicle. Everyone jumped out of the plane, since it could land on auto pilot.

The female with black hair began fighting and pulling on her chain at seeing the ducks approach. "Help!" She called out but Siege back handed her hard and she fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

Wildwing hated seeing a woman get hit especially when she couldn't defend herself. He rushed in and clobbered Siege with a right hook. Siege dropped the chain and pulled out his gun, firing on Wildwing while he guarded the black haired duck with his ice shield. So focused on blocking Siege with his ice shield that he didn't see the dark haired duck blow a white powder into his face.

Duke jumped in and helped the Brown haired duck to her feet and put her behind him, she took this moment to blow a little of her own powder into his face. The team beat the lizards back, while this was happening Wraith began to planet the seeds of doubt in Tanya's and Mallory's eyes once again glowing that unnatural purple. "You will begin to lose your edge, you will be slowly replaced by these two new ducks, and the others will have no use for you. Leave them, run away, and leave them behind." Whispered wraith while holding up his stick, a strange purple glow surrounding him. "Look how the man are all over those two females. They have no use for you anymore. Move on. Leave and find a new life here on earth." With his incantation done Wraith used his telaporter to get back to the Raptor.

Down by the ducks Siege and Chameleon had chickened out and used their telaporters to leave the fight. Wildwing turned to the female duck with black hair. "Are you ok?"

She looked up at him and blushed. "Yes I am now. Thank you." He stood up and used his mask to make sure they were in fact ducks. Scanning them over he confirmed that they were legit. He nodded to the rest of his awaiting teammates then turned back to her. "Can you stand?" He offered his hand and she took it only to trip on herself and fall into him. He caught her without a second thought and looked like he was love struck by the beautiful duck pressed into him.

She looked up at him shyly. "It looks like I can't I'm sorry." He nodded and picked her up bridle style while looking into her eyes, "Don't be you took quiet a hit there." He said as he carried her back into the Arrowwing. "What's your name?" She wrapped her arms around his neck, "Samantha, Samantha Crusnik."

Duke picked up the other female duck. "And what would your name be miss..?" "Casey Juniper." She smiled sweetly at him. "What a beautiful name for a beautiful duck." Duke smirked charmingly and carried Casey up to the Arrowwing with Nosedive and Grin following. No one seemed to notice the two saddened females that were still outside staring after them with a slightly betrayed look on their faces. Mallory turned to Tanya, "I guess it was a passing fancy." They both sighed and dragged their feet after the others. One looking depressed and the other looking angry.
