The Mighty Ducks Animated Series and its characters belong to Walt Disney Television. Original characters belong to me.
Episode 1: New Girls in Town
Darkness had swallowed the surroundings of the humanoid white mallard named Wildwing and he didn't like this.
Then, a flash of light appeared and Wildwing noticed he was looking at the time when his comrade, Canard sacrificed himself to the Dimensional Limbo worm.
Wildwing realized that he could stop him this time, but he seemed so far away to reach his friend.
It was already too late when Canard handed over the mask to the other Wildwing and let go of it and he was gone.
"Every time, it is always too late to save him," Wildwing said to himself.
"It isn't too late," a feminine voice called out and the mallard looked up to see a black figure in front of him.
"I can help you get your friend back, but you must help me," the woman said to Wildwing.
"Who are you? And how can you help?" he asked.
"Help me, help me be free," the female figure said, but then, there was a flash of light and there was nothing.
Wildwing awoke with a gasp, nearly hitting his head at the top bunk of his bed, who he shared with his young brother, Nosedive.
Luckily, Nosedive didn't hear his older brother's commotion and Wildwing laid back on his pillow.
"That dream, I had it, again," he whispered and looked at the mask that symbolized his leadership to his team.
"Who was that woman? Was she a duck? Or a human?" Wildwing's thoughts said to him, "Could she really help bring Canard back from Dimensional Limbo? And what did she mean help her be free?"
Wildwing was too tired to think and decided to sleep the remainder of the night, with his thoughts still buzzing in his head.

Somewhere on the Pacific Ocean floor laid the Saurain's spaceship 'The Raptor'.
"Every time we face those wretched ducks, it always ends up in failure!" Dragaunus shouted angrily at his henchmen.
"They are too smart for us!" Siege informed.
"My lord, we need someone more powerful to turn those ducks to dust," Wraith had said.
Chameleon, however, wasn't paying attention; instead he had his eyes glued to a book.
"Chameleon, what is that you have?" the ruler of the Saurian race asked.
"'The Book of Evil People in Ancient History'; I went to the library and found this, it is pretty interesting," the lizard said.
"I didn't know you can read, let me see that," Dragaunus demanded and Chameleon gave the book to him.
"You should look at the page I bookmarked," the lizard informed and Dragaunus did.
The page featured a story on an Arthurian dark wizard named Louran, who was feared for his use of black magic.
Dragaunus read the story about how Louran wanted to rule the world, but he was defeated by a good wizard and a young king and he was sealed in the underworld, where the dark wizard waited for his release.
"Interesting," Dragaunus said and noticed that the last page was torn out.
"Drat! Someone tore out the last page; it must be really important," the dragon ruler said, "Wraith, I need you to find the last page, I have a feeling it could tell us how to release Louran. Take Chameleon and Siege with you."
"What? Are you saying you want to partner up with this…this…human?" Siege asked, showing his hatred to humans.
"Not just a human, a dark wizard. Now go!" Dragaunus shouted and the three henchmen teleported away.
"Now ducks, be prepared to meet your doom," Dragaunus said, featuring his teeth in a grin.

Morning came upon Anaheim and the Mighty Ducks were awake and began their hockey practice.
Wildwing, however, struggled to keep his eyes open. "Hey Wing," his comrade Duke called out, "Are you okay? You look like you're about to fall asleep on us."
"I just had a rough night, I'll be okay," the mallard answered and took position at the net.
Wildwing watched as his comrades passed the puck to one another, with Nosedive receiving it and was ready to shoot it.
Wildwing's head slumped and he barely noticed the puck until it was too late. Nosedive took a swig at the puck and it hit his brother in the stomach.
"Ow!" Wildwing exclaimed as he fell backward.
"Sorry bro, I told you to duck!" his brother called out.
"Next time, shout a bit more louder!" Wildwing replied, but something caught his attention at the bleachers.
Phil Palmfeather was walking with two young women; one was dark-skinned with dark, braided hair and the other was light-skinned with brown hair tied in a pigtail.
"Hey boobies! Come on over here, there's someone I want you to meet!" Phil called out to them and they skated over to him.
"Ducks, I like you to meet my niece, Pearl Jadynak and her friend, Subria Kinsman," Phil said, featuring the two young women.
"Hi," the dark girl, Subria said.
"It's nice to finally meet you," Pearl replied, her brown eyes glimmering.
The ducks were amazed of how beautiful the two human girls were, especially Duke and Nosedive as pumping hearts appeared in their eyes.
Subria noticed this and gave a sniff and turned her head away.
"Hi, are you okay? I saw what happened, you're not hurt are you?" Pearl asked Wildwing.
The mallard was at loss for words when the woman spoke to him and nervously replies, "Yeah, I'm all right."
"Hockey sounds brutal to me, but it does bring excitement to your senses. My uncle has told me so much about you. You must be Wildwing," Pearl said and that's when Wildwing noticed her accent.
"Yes, and these are my teammates, including my brother, Nosedive, Duke, Grin, Tanya, and Mallory. Where are you from?" he had asked.
"England, we're here for our summer break, so we'll be here for a short time," Pearl explained and then shook hands with Wildwing, "It was lovely to meet you, we'll let you get back to your practice."
Pearl, Subria, and Phil walked away from the ducks and the team skated close to each other.
"Don't you find it odd?" Mallory had asked.
"What's odd? About how pretty they are?" Nosedive said, still showing his dreamy look at the two girls.
"No, I mean Phil never mentioned he had family, not even from overseas," Mallory explained.
"That is unusual, but Phil is p…pri…he likes to keep to himself," Tanya said with a stutter.
Wildwing, however, was still staring at Pearl, "I have to admit, that Pearl is kinda cute," he said to his team.
"Whoa, back off, you just laid eyes on her just a few minutes ago," Duke replied, patting his friend's shoulder.
"I have an eerie feeling that there's more to them than what they seem," Grin had spoken.
"You guys worry too much, let's give them a chance," Nosedive informed and they went back to their practice.
Up in the manager's office, Pearl looked at them through the glass window with worried eyes.
"Do you think they'll help?" Subria asked.
"I believe they will, but they may not believe us when we tell them," Pearl answered.
"When will you tell them?" Phil questioned his 'niece'.
"Soon, when the right time comes," the young woman answered, again, and closed the shutters.

At the Anaheim Public Library, the Saurians arrived with their robots and Wraith bragged into the manager's office.
"Who are you?! What do you want?!" the elderly man cried out.
Wraith held up the book and featured the page on Louran, "Where is the missing page?" the Saurian wizard asked.
The old man looked terrified when he saw the story on the ancient evil wizard, "I…I don't know where it is," he answered in a shaky voice.
"I detect some untruthfulness in you. I will ask, again and you will tell me where it is?" Wraith demanded and the old man began to shake.

At the Pond, the ducks had finished their practice, but got a distress signal from Drake 1.
"There is a disturbance at the library; what in the world is Dragaunus doing there?" Tanya asked.
"Maybe he needed to catch up on his homework," Nosedive joked, but they didn't laugh.
"Team, let's move out!" Wildwing ordered and they rushed for the Migrator.
Pearl and Subria heard the commotion and Subria could sense that something was wrong, "Someone may have found Louran's page, we better stop them," she replied, facing Pearl.
"Uncle Philip, we need a ride," Pearl informed and the obese man nodded to her.
The Migrator rushed towards the library and arrived just as screaming people ran away from Dragaunus' robot minions.
"Hurry up old man," Wraith demanded as the manager of the library placed in a combination for the safe.
Finally, the door opened and the old man showed the missing page, "Now that wasn't too hard," Wraith said, but then a shot rang out.
"Hold it right there, Wraith," Wildwing called out and shot out pucks at him.
Wraith easily swanked the pucks away and the robot minions shot their own rounds at the ducks.
They took cover with the old man, "What did he want?" Wildwing asked him.
"It's an old document on a very powerful wizard, you must get it back," the manager pleaded.
Wraith summoned a fireball and almost reached the ducks' hiding place, "You always make it too easy," he said.
Suddenly, someone smacked the Saurian hard and he fell backward as a tall, dark-skinned woman with a sharp spear stepped forward.
"Give back that page or else," she demanded.
Nosedive, however, noticed something familiar with the mysterious woman, "Subria?"
The woman turned around, it was Subria, except she had a warrior face and held a sharp spear.
"Subria, the page!" another woman called out and Wildwing saw Pearl enter.
"Pearl?" he asked in confusion.
Subria stepped towards the Saurian wizard, but Wraith hurled his fireball at her.
"Duck!" Duke called out, grabbing Subria and they crashed to the ground.
"Let's go, we have what we need," Wraith informed the others and they teleported away.
"No!" Pearl shouted, but the Saurians were gone.
The ducks stared at the two women with confused eyes and Mallory was the first to speak, "What do you think you were doing?"
"We had to stop him from taking that page, but now it is too late," Pearl had said.
"Okay, I'm confused, why was the page so important to you?" Duke asked.
"And you better start talking," Grin said, threateningly.
"It is better to speak in private," Subria said and they left the scene and entered back into the Migrator and it hurried away from the library.

Once the Migrator was far away from the library, Pearl was the first to speak, "My real name is Prydwen, Princess Prydwen."
The ducks gave looks of shock and confusion, "Princess? Of what?" Nosedive asked.
"Not what, where exactly," Wildwing corrected him.
"Avalon," Pearl answered.
"The resting place of King Arthur?" Tanya asked, in an astonished tone.
"Yes, in fact, he was my great- grandfather from my mother's side," Pearl answered, again.
"I'm Subria, princess of the Ndola tribe of Angola in Africa, I'm Her Highness's bodyguard," Subria said.
"Why are you here and how did you get here?" Wildwing had asked.
"First off, King Arthur and Merlin had created a portal for us to time-travel to any period of time. We came here to search for spell pages to the Book of Avalon," Pearl explained and continues, "Merlin had an apprentice, Pelles and he created a spell book. It contains very powerful spells that could release destruction and mayhem upon the world. Unfortunately, the spell pages were released by accident and we have reason to believe they are here in Anaheim."
"And why did you need that page Wraith had?" Duke asked them.
"It contains the words to help release our greatest enemy, Louran from the underworld. Pelles and Louran had battled one another for the right of ownership of the book, but Louran wanted to use it for evil, so Pelles sealed him away to the underworld," Pearl said.
"If Louran captures the spell pages before Pearl does, he will use them for his own doing. Her Highness is the rightful owner of the Book of Avalon and its spell pages," Subria informed.
"What makes you the rightful owner?" Mallory asked, unable to believe what Pearl said earlier.
"Pelles was my grandfather and before he died, he wrote my name in the book, making me the owner of the book and its spells," Pearl explained and the ducks were shocked.
Then, someone was honking their horn and the ducks saw Phil, waving from his 1967 blue Mustang Convertible. Phil entered onto the ducks transporter.
"Let me guess, Pearl and Subria told you who they really are?" Phil asked his hockey team.
"Okay, why should we believe them?" Duke questioned his manager.
"With this," Phil answered, showing a book that appeared to be ancient.
"That is the Book of Avalon?" Grin asked as Tanya looked it over with her Omi-Tool and did a scan on the book.
After a few seconds, Tanya gave a nod, "This book is over a thousand years old. This should be in a museum," she informed her comrades.
Pearl took the book and opened it, featuring a spell page, 'The Wind', and she spoke the words, "Wind spell, show us your true power."
Suddenly, a bright figure appeared and a blustering wind sent papers and things flying, but the figure bounded Phil in its grip, "Hey! Get me out of this!"
"All right, we believe you for now, just tell us what to do," Wildwing said to Pearl and she sealed the spell in the book.
"I was told that your friend is trapped in Dimensional Limbo. If you help me find the spell pages, then I will be able to rescue your friend," the princess replied, unbinding her 'uncle'.
Wildwing's body shook at the mention of this and says, "So it was you, in my dreams."
"Dreams?" Pearl asked, confused.
"For the past few nights, I had the same dream of seeing someone and telling me that she will help rescue Canard, if we help her find her freedom," Wildwing explained.
Pearl nodded and replies, "Interesting; the freedom part is true, too, from the pressure of Louran's existence."
Something inside Wildwing made him feel at ease with the mysterious princess and something else was growing inside.
"All we can do is wait; wait until something pops up on your Drake 1," Subria said and the Migrator drove back to the Pond.

Somewhere by the sea cliffs, the Saurians were performing the ritual of summoning Louran back from the underworld. There was a bon-fire and the three henchmen circled around, while Dragaunus held out the page that contained the words.
"Darkness of the world, hear us now! Release the one wizard people have dreaded for centuries! And let him live, again!" Dragaunus shouted the words.
Suddenly, the wind picked up and the fire began to swirl like a pinwheel and then, a steel door appeared and it opened.
A dark figure stepped forward and planted its feet on the grassy ground as the door closed behind it.
The figure was Louran; he was pale-skinned with black hair and beard, his dark eyes were empty of emotion, and he was dressed in black and purple robes.
"Who released me?" he asked in a booming voice.
"That would be me, Lord Dragaunus, ruler of the Saurian race," the dragon king informed.
Louran bowed to his knees, "How can I thank you? Perhaps world domination?" he asked.
"Oh, that will have to wait; for now, I need your help in ridding a nuisance that has been a thorn in my side for too long," Dragaunus said and he explained their situation.
"Lord Louran, do you know a young woman who is eager to stop you at all costs?" Wraith asked the wizard.
"I know a princess, who will do anything to stop me from retrieving a certain spell book. If you help me, then I can get rid of that nuisance you mentioned," Louran said and shook hands with the dragon ruler and everything fades to black.
From the Author: What do you think? I loved the Mighty Ducks TV series when I was a little girl. I was very upset when the producers chose to not continue with the series. Years later, I was watching the anime series, Cardcaptor Sakura and that got me thinking. This "season 2" was inspired by the anime series that I mentioned. To be honest, I hope the producers will go back in rebooting the Mighty Ducks. Reviews are very much appreciated!
