Chapter 2: A Life Changing Night
"Oh Melina darling.. what held you up?" said Melina's aunt Sophia in her worried tone as Rob stood next to his wife
Melina didn't want either her uncle or her aunt to worry about her close encounter with a girl gang
"Oh nothing aunty Soph.. I just lost track of time.." she lied giving them a nervous smile she really didn't want them freaking out about how she was almost beat up but was saved but her aunt seemed to have bought the lie
"Alrighty then darling.. Uh dinner will ready soon.."
"Thanks aunt Soph.." with that she walked to her room to lay down on her bed still thinking about the narrowing encounter with the local street gang and the Ducks saving her life
"Did it.. really happened.." she pondered as she flipped on the tv to the hockey sports channel which of course were talking about the Mighty Ducks
"Maybe it did.." she sighed watching tv for a good amount of time until her computer beeped showing an alert and permission to video-chat from "MoonSong24"
Melina flashed her brightest smile as she ran to her laptop and clicked yes as now a female face in her early 20's appeared on the computer screen "Hey baby sis! How are you today?"
"Hi Diana! Just normal victories from the Street Lightning Harks!" Melina smiled she was just happy to be talking to her older sister she hadn't seen her for about a year since she left home to purser her dreams of being a singer
"But enough about me.. how's your tour with the talent scouts? You coming home soon?" Melina kept on asking
Diana giggled she loved her baby sister's hyperness
"It's going great sis, but sorry I have to spend another few months with them because of auditions.."
The younger sister looked disappointed "Aw man.."
The elder just smiled "But hey remember I'm holding the winning streak in auditions so soon I might be on stage and home really soon." that cheered Melina up
"Alright big sis!"
They talked and chatted for about 20 minutes until they heard their aunt "Melina! Dinner's ready!"
Melina sighed "Well gotta go Di.. hope to talk to you later.."
Diana smiled softly "Alright baby sis.. say hi for Uncle Robby and Aunty Soph for me!"
Melina nodded as she ended the chat then she ran downstairs and quickly sat down at the table
"Goodness you're coming faster to dinner lately.." Sophia laughed while Rob gave a slight grin "That's the work of a star hockey player.." he chuckled softly as Sophia then placed her plate of food in front of her before speaking "Melina we have a surprise for you sweetie.."
Melina looked up from her gorging looking a bit surprised "Reahly Whany Sowp?" she said her mouth full
"Chew and swallow dear.." her aunt scolded gently
"Wahrry.." she then swallowed then smiled "What was it?"
"Well sweetie.. since you've been doing so well.." Sophia smiled at Rob
Rob nodded "I pulled some strings and bought us tickets for tomorrow night's Mighty Ducks game!"
Melina did a spit take and stood up quickly "REALLY?!" she shouted as she nearly tackled her uncle down "Uncle Rob! You're the best uncle in the whole universe!"
Rob hugged her smiling "Ok ok Melina it was nothing darling.." he laughed softly
Melina then turned to her aunt "Are you coming too Aunty?"
Sophia shook her head gently "No sweetie sorry I have an appointment to do with Mrs. Lorena's cat.. but I want you and Rob to have a good time ok darling?"
Melina smiled brightly "Will do Aunty Soph.." she then returned to her gorging...
The next night as the Anaheim Pond Arena filled with fans of both Mighty Ducks and the opposing team
"Come on! The game's gonna start!" Melina shouted to her uncle who was getting left behind "Alright Melina wait up!"
They quickly made it to their seats and she waited impatiently for the start of the game and the starting face-off
Melina leaned in and watched the game carefully "Ok Nosedive wins the starting puck as he maneuvers his way to the opposing team's goal.."
Rob grinned slightly at his niece Like father, like daughter..
Melina kept making her silent play by play and jumped up every time cheering seeing the goal scores "Duke Scores!" she squealed
During all the hockey fun some familiar but definitely not a friendly faces were sneaking into the pond..
After a while The announcer shouted through the P.A. system "And it's good! It's another victory for your Mighty Ducks Of Anaheim!"
Melina jumped up squealing "YES!"
Rob just smiled at his niece as they were walking into the main lobby "That was a great game Lina bee.."
Melina grinned at her uncle "Are you kidding?! It was the best game ever! You should've seen how Nosedive handled the puck and Duke! Great and classy moves as always!" She giggled then she stopped hearing a commotion coming from the front entrance
Siege of the Saurians had bursted through along with the dark Saurian wizard Wreath and changeling Chameleon
"Oh let's get ready to rumble!" Chameleon shouted doing one of his corny impressions
During the chaos the Mighty Ducks had heard the commotion
"Aw man! It's those dino-heads again!" Nosedive complained
Mallory shook her head "But why now.."
"Must be getting bolder or pretty desperate to attack us here.." Duke added
"Well in any condition we better stop them before they hurt someone!" Wildwing said as he and the team changed into their battle gear and ran into the main area
They were glad to see that most of the civilians had managed to run off except for Melina and Rob as they had taken cover behind the counter
Duke along with the other Ducks were the most surprised seeing Melina there "Hey isn't that gal from last night?"
"Whoa dudes! This is some serious déjà-vu moment! The cutie we saved is here? Major coincidence here kiddies!" Nosedive shouted
Wildwing just shook his head in disbelief "Well we can't let Dragaunus' thugs get near them!" he then charged up to the Saurians
Meanwhile behind the counter Melina poked her head to see the fight
"It's those creeps from the news!" Melina screamed a bit seeing the Saurians
Chameleon escaping from the fight had spotted them and smirked as he jumped onto the counter "Now that's what I call a captive audience!"
Rob stood in front of his niece hitting the smaller lizard back "Keep away from her!"
"Oh a wise guy eh?" Chameleon smirked getting up as he shape shifted into a larger and buffer creature "Now let's have some fun.." he said as he grabbed Rob and tossed him against the wall and knocked him out cold
"Uncle Rob!" Melina shouted as she ran to her uncle's side shaking him.. but to no avail
"Oh no.. what am I gonna do.." she then eyed the Saurian as they were pummeling the Ducks
"Ok that's it! No one messes with my family or my favorite team and gets away with it!" she then tore open her backpack and scrapped on her inline skates and grabbed a nearby long pipe that had fallen in the chaos and held it like a hockey stick
Siege was about to lay another punch when he was suddenly hit back "What the.." he then rubbed his head seeing Melina was the one who hit him
Wraith then eyed the teenaged girl "You little girl.. run along now or there will be trouble for you.." he then created a fireball in his hand
Melina growled softly holding onto the pipe and mustered up all her courage "Oh no you lizard heads! I'm not doing that!" she shouted as she started to swing the pipe and ducked and dodged the fireball attacks
During this Siege managed to grab a large laser gun
The laser had a red light that scanned the Ducks and the weapon powered up
Siege smirked darkly as he pointed it at Duke "Goodbye Ducks!" he then hit the trigger as a red laser came shooting out
Melina gasped loudly as she tossed down the pipe "DUKE! Look out!" she shouted as she skated fast to Duke and pushed him out of the laser's path and took the hit herself! Right in her right upper forearm!
Screaming from the pain she passed out and hit the ground
Duke shocked and moved by her action he pulled out his blaster and managed to get a clear shot at the laser ray and destroyed it "That was for ta little lady.."
Siege, Wraith, and Chameleon seeing that without the weapon they were no match now they teleported away
Wildwing got to his feet and ran up to the unconscious Melina's side along with Duke and Nosedive "We better get her to the infirmary.."
Duke nodded as he picked her up and carried her bridal style "I'll get her there.. Tanya better come with us.."
Tanya nodded as she followed closely behind into the underground HQ
As soon as they made it Duke placed Melina down gently on the bed and sat down while Tanya tended to the young woman "Man this gal is like a magnet for trouble.." Duke remarked remembering their first meeting
Grin just nodded "Perhaps it is fated that we met her again.."
Just then Wildwing, Dive, and Mallory walked in along with Rob "Again?" the Marine sergeant asked looking worried
Tanya stood up after wrapping up Melina's arm and placing a wet towel on her forehead "Well yeah we met her last night.. "
Duke nodded "Yeah she was about to pummeled to a pulp if we didn't came to ta girl's rescue.."
Rob just looked at Melina and sighed "She didn't tell me.. but that's Melina alright.. whenever something life-threatening happened to her she doesn't tell anybody... she doesn't want anyone to worry about her.. she had enough grief in her life.." The marine sergeant explained
Wildwing looked at Melina very worried
"What kind of grief?" he asked with a worried tone
Rob just sighed sadly "It's best if you let Melina explain for herself.."
The Mighty Ducks looked both confused and worried but Wildwing understood this "Alright.." he then looked at Melina as Tanya spoke up "Well the Medicom says that there's no broken bones, concussion, or any other major injuries.. but the laser blast will leave a permanent burn mark on her right forearm.. but it won't bother her.." Tanya said with a smile as she saw Melina slowly woke up
"Melina?" Rob said as he sat down next to her "Are you feeling ok?"
"I'm ok uncle Rob..." she smiled weakly as she slowly sat up and blushed seeing Duke
Duke smiled as he kneel down to her eye level "Hey little lady.. just rest up alright? You been through enough.." he gently said to her using his charming skills
Melina nodded gently blushing more resulting in a bright pink "Alright.." that was a bit surprising to her uncle Melina was always restless even during her sick days
This duck is good at this.. he thought as he saw his niece fell fast asleep and Duke turned to him "I bet she'll be much betta in ta morning.."
"Thanks Duke.." Rob nodded seeing them leave on their patrol as he then looked at the resting Melina and sighs
'I have a feeling that things will never be the same again...
