Ch.3: Mistaken Idenity
Later, when Duck opened his eyes he found himself seeing red, and thought that he really must be sick. He rolled his eyes upward to see a regular night time sky floating above his head. Well at least the sky was still it's original color. Slowly Danger got up and started to look around, seeing nothing but a red wasteland.
"Where am I?" he thought and started walking.
"This is to strange, where the heck am I? Where's Ace and the others? Where's Acmetropolis!"
Ahead Duck could see a gaintic building, it looked more like a palace, but whatever, he just wanted to get back home. Gates were standing in his way of entry, no problem there, and he just teleported to the other side, only to find out he had made a big mistake. Guards now surrounded him, wondering how on earth did he get in. Duck wasn't willing to stick around so thier guns could do the talking and quacked himself out of reach of the guards. With no other choice he ran inside the palace.
"I could sure use the others help right about now" said Duck "Ace where are you!"
Duck tapped on his communicator and started calling for Ace, but recieved a whole mess of static instead, the sound was deafening. Duck shut off the communicator, clearly it wouldn't work wherever he was now, and the guards hadn't followed him in.
Duck started walking down the long hallway until he approached a very wide set of doors that stood at least two stories high. Duck pushed hard on the doors, but they wouldn't budge.
"Locked" said Duck " typical, guess I'll have to do this the old fashioned way," And with that Duck teleported to the other side of those doors and found himself in a throne room.
Duck whistled at it's constructionship.
"Must pay carpenters a fortune to build this place," he said.
"Actaully Duck" said a voice "it's the other way around,"
Duck turned his head to see a completely black woman, with long white hair, and no mouth and no nose. It was a mystery of how she was able to talk or breath.
"I" she said "am the Queen of Mars, and I have waited a long time for your return Duck Dodgers,"
"What?" said Duck almost istantly "you got me confused with someone else, my name's Danger Duck, not Duck Dodgers,"
"You changed your name?" said the Queen, sounding more loving than Danger could have hoped.
"I'm not Duck Dodger's and I can prove it!" said Duck, shooting the same spectacal he did for the people he entertained while singing. The Queen nodded, but her eyes showed disappiontment and she began to cry, leaving Danger Duck baffled. One of the guards rushed in to see why his Queen was crying and looked acussily at Duck.
"This can't be good" thought Duck "what could possibly be the punishment for making a Queen cry?"
He soon found out when a dragon was brought in, breathing sheets of hot, white flame. Duck choked when he saw the dragon, and whispered what his great-great ancestor would say whenever he was in danger.
"Mother..."
Back in Amcetropolis, Ace and the others were trying to shake the fact of what happened just a few minutes ago.
"Wow" said Ace "I can't believe Duck actaully sang about us, he mentioned the whole team in that song,"
"I was kind of surprised myself," said Tech.
Even Rev seemed to cool down, even though Duck had attacked him earlier, he was still stunned at the little show Duck had put on tonight. Slam had grumbled something, but none of the others could understand it.
"When Duck comes home, I'm going to give that bird a hug, whether he wants it or not," said Ace, shocking the whole team, but he wasn't going to let that stop him. They were probally all wanting to do the same thing.
Unfortunely, niether of them got the chance, because Duck never came home that night, and in the morning Duck still wasn't there. ace was starting to get worried, something must have happened to Duck after he sang, and Ace was gonna find out why.
