Ace, Lexi, and the other Loonatics all jumped as they heard Duck and Kala's screams as they drove off the cliff. At the moment they were all in the throne after explaining to the queen that Duck might be her son.
"Well, he certainly sounds like Dodgers." X-2 commented. Ace ignored him as he tried to contact Duck.
"Duck? Hey, are you alright? Duck!" he yelled as he pressed the buttons on his communicator. A carvian leaned over to his comrade and whispered,
"Hey, if the Princesssss diesss do we get the ship?" Lexi glared at them as the queen tapped her fingers impatiently on her throne.
"I'm waiting!" she growled. She didn't believe that these critters really knew her son, but she figured it wouldn't hurt to humor them.
"Keep your crown on!" Ace snapped. Then he tried to called Duck again. "Duck! Can you hear me? Where are ya?" Suddenly Kala's drilling machine appeared over the Loonatics and while Ace, Slam, Rev, and Lexi managed to dodge the machine, Tech wasn't and so was crushed. Then the top opened and Duck came stumbling out.
"You called?" he slurred as he staggered side to side. Rev and Lexi came to help him stand while Slam helped the princess out.
"Thank you, sugar." she said to him.
"Heh, hee!" Slam said. Then Kala turned her furious, icy gaze on Duck.
"You idiot! I thought you said you could drive! I even remember you winning a race when you were fifteen! What happened?" she yelled.
"One: fast models I can handle, no problem! Second, this is a drill not a car!" Duck said as he folded his arms. "So where's the thank you for saving your life?"
"Right where my heel's gonna be!" Kala hissed. As the two argued the queen stared at Duck. She couldn't believe how much he looked like Dodgers, how much he sounded like him, acted like him. It was almost as if he was there.
"Ugh! I should have known!" Kala sighed as she touched a hand to her head. "The only thing you're capable of driving is me crazy!"
"But you admit, I do know how to drive you!" Duck smirked as he made a honking motion.
"Never mind that!" Ace jumped in before Kala could rip out Duck's throat. "Duck! Though it goes against my instincts, I got big news for ya! We found your parents!" At this Duck froze and looked surprised, as did Kala.
"Huh...?" he breathed in surprise. Million of thoughts were running through his mind and he didn't know which one to voice. He quickly managed to regain himself though. "What-What are you talking about? My folks are dead, moron!" he said as he folded his arms.
"Yeah! Why do think he dropped out of elementary school and lived in my front yard?" Kala said as she placed her hands on her hips. From the look she giving Ace, Lexi guessed she was giving Ace a fair warning to continue.
"No, I mean your birth parents! Ya see– Elementary school? You dropped out of Elementary school?" Ace blinked. He always figured Duck had dropped out of school, but he always figured it was highschool. No wonder he couldn't spell!
"I had better things to do!" Duck snapped. "Now what are you going on about?"
"Well, you see Tech– Hey! Where is Tech?" Ace said when he noticed the genius of their group was missing. Rev and Slam glanced around then Slam lifted the jewel drill and there lied Tech, flat as a pancake.
"Anyone-got-sirup?" Rev asked as he peeled him off the floor.
"Ha, ha! Very funny!" Tech squeaked. Rev flap him out and Tech regained his original form. "Urk! Thanks." Then Tech turned to Duck, who was waiting impatiently. "Okay, here's the deal? You remember IQ? The one who sent us here?"
"The geek with the long gloves and light bulb on his head? Yeah, I remember." Duck frowned. "Oh, god! If you're telling me he's my dad, just shoot me now!"
"You heard him boys!" Kala said with a playful glint. "Get ready now!" The Carvian's raised their guns, but Tech stopped then as he continued,
"No! But he did find out who your real dad and mom is! Who, by the way is sitting over there." He pointed at the queen who was staring at him with the same blue eyes Duck had.
"Mom...?" he breathed. He took a step towards her, only be yanked back by X-2 and another martian.
"Hold it there, Duck!" he yelled. "We're not buying anything until we do a few tests of our own!"
"Huh? Tests? But I didn't even study! Waahh!" He was dragged to a large machine where X-2 handed him a pair of red sunglasses.
"Here wear these;" he said.
"Why?" Duck frowned. "They're not even my style!"
"They will protect you from the harmful radiations of our DNA machine."
"What?" Duck said as he leaped back.
"Oh, relax! The glasses will protect most of you," X-2 assured him. "Look, I'll show you." He handed a Centarun a pair of glasses before using the machine Duck was briefly blinded by the bright light, but when the light died down the robot appeared to be fine.
"See?" X-2 said. "He's perfectly fine! Even if were to say, increase it to 80%." He did so, then pushed the button, not noticing that the droid had removed his glasses. The last thing Duck heard was a pain filled robotic screech and the light was gone, all that remained was the glasses, not even ashes remained.
"See ya!" Duck tried to run, completely forgetting his quacking ability, but the martians grabbed him.
"Lemme go! I know my rights!" he yelled as the strapped him to a chair so the could do their tests.
"You have the right to remain silent," X-2 said. "And if I were you, I'd exercise that right till it gets in shape!" After many, many, long, horrendous experiments, they finally brought Duck back to the throne room, looking as if they tortured him.
"Are you okay?" Lexi asked as he wobbled towards them.
"Look mommy, I scored the winning touch down!" Duck said in a daze. "Take that, you evil hussy of the west!" At this Kala frowned, before tossing a football shaped gem at him and in their greed, the centaruns and the carvians all tackled him, crushing him in the effort.
"And he's out!" Ace said before he and Slam started to dig him out of the pile.
"Well, we did every test we could. There's no doubt my queen, he is most defiantly your son! And our *Gulp!* P-p-prince..." X-2 said, looking as if he was going to be blown up.
"My son...?" Tryrahnee said as her voice filled with emotion. Then she leap from her throne and embraced her long lost son. "My baby... You're actually here? You're actually home with me?" Duck was startled at first, then he realized that this woman was his mother. This woman was actually his mother!
"M-mom?" he said slowly, as if she would vanish any second. Then when he fully realized that she was actually here, he returned the hug. "Mom...!" As the mother and son embraced, the loonatics smiled happy for their friend, even X-2 was happy for his queen. Kala's expression was unreadable as she looked away. She wasn't mad or anything, it just hurt to see the two for some reason. In the shadows however, there was one person who was not happy at this reunion at all.
"Hold it right there, Acmetropians!" Melvin yelled as he suddenly blasted through the wall, covered in tar from Duck's egg. Then he noticed the Queen and Duck hugging as they both glared at him, with the same blue eyes. "Um... Did I miss something?"

After being reunited with his mother Duck had told her of all his heroics (though he exaggerated a bit) and how he come to gain his powers. He didn't tell her about his foster parents, for they were long gone and truth be told he never got the chance to know them. Tryrahnee listened, then told him about Mars. Right, now they were on the balcony of her room, over looking mars.
"You see this, my son? Someday all this will be yours." she told him.
"Wow," said as he looked over his future kingdom. "I always knew I was of royal blood! Now we need to discuss land scaping." At this the queen chuckled.
"You have a lot of your father in you, more than I would have wanted. But I see a lot of myself in you, so I suppose it evens out." she said as she looked down at her son adoringly.
"Yeah, about my dad... What ever happened to him?" At this the queen's eyes became cold.
"He was blown up... when he tried to run away with you." At this Duck's eyes widen and the queen continued. "My guess was that he had become tired of me and that he planning to take you to earth so he could get hot dates, but that man never could drive! He crashed into a meteor. I thought you were dead this whole time." Duck stared at his mother sadly.
"Mom..." She shook her head and hugged him.
"None of that matters now," she said. "You're home! That's all that matters."

Later, Duck decided to explore the halls of the palace. He couldn't believe his father would want to leave all this behind for anything. I mean, what be better than living in a palace with a beautiful queen? Duck didn't know and he didn't have much time to ponder this, for just then something was thrown at him. He dodged and when he turned he saw a very angry Kala with bleach blonde glaring at him.
"Duck! I know you had something to do with this!" she yelled as she threw a vase at him. Duck quacked out of the way.
"Who me?" he said innocently. After Kala had found out Duck was a prince she had her servants send the earthlings back to earth and remained on Mars with the Loonatics. Why, she wouldn't say. With a angry screech she threw a potted plant at him, which almost hit Lexi and Ace, who had come looking for Duck.
"Whoa!" Ace exclaimed as they both leaped out of the way. "Hey, I don't need flowers that bad!"
"But Duck will when I'm through with him!" Kala leaped at Duck, but Lexi grabbed her around her waist.
"Hey, Princess! Um, why don't we go to your room and have a little girl time?"
"Bah! What are you so mad about? Blonde is your natural hair color anyway! Or at least I think it is." Duck said as Lexi dragged her away. Ace turned to his short companion.
"Careful, Duck! People are going to think you like each other if you keep this up." he smirked.
"What?" Duck exclaimed. "There's no way I could love that cold hearted bitch! Besides, my heart belongs to the wonderful Misty Breeze!" Ace frowned at him.
"When we get home we need to talk about your choice in women!" he said. "Speaking of which, how about you talk to your mom about us getting the generator so we can all head home?"
"Huh? Oh, right..." Duck said as he remembered the reason they were all here in the first place. He sadden at the thought of leaving when had finally found the place he was born. Seeing this Ace said,
"Tell ya what, Duck. How about you get us the generator and we'll head back to Blanc while you stay and get to know your mom? Then you can come back when you're ready? Sound good?" Duck smirked as he folded his arms.
"That's if I want to go back! In case you haven't notice, I'm a prince now!" he said as he started away. "And as the handsome Prince of Mars, I have duty to take my rightful place on the throne as the handsome King!"
"Oh, brother!" Ace sighed as he followed. They so busy talking that they didn't notice the strange figure watching them from the shadows.
"He'll become King over his flame broiled body!" it hissed.

"C'mon, Kala," Lexi said she tried to soothe the irrate princess in her room. "Blode really suits you."
"Of course it does! I'm beautiful! Everything suits me!" Kala huffed as she sat on her bed. "I just don't like cuz now I look like that woman!"
"That woman?" Lexi blinked.
"My mother." Kala said shortly.
"Oh... So I guess you and your mother had issues?" Kala let out a heated laugh.
"Considering she abandoned me just so she could get high? Yeah! You can say we had 'issues!'" she said as she stood and walked to her mirror. As she stared at her reflection she see the eyes of her mother looking back at her.
"Oh... sorry." Lexi said sympathetically. Kala chuckled as she closed her eyes.
"Don't be. In case you haven't noticed, I turned out great! That is until that accursed meteor hit and ruined everything." she said.
"The meteor?" Kala turned to the pink bunny and stared at her with an unfamiliar expression.
"Tell me, Lexi dear... What is it that make others love and admire you?" she asked.
"Um, well... I suppose it's how you treat others." Lexi said. Kala shook her head.
"Well, that makes them like you, but what makes them love you is what you've got and how you use it!" she said as she ran a hand up and down her thigh. "If you're beautiful, you can be a bitch and others will still find things to love about you, no matter what!" Then she looked Lexi over. "You're pretty cute, so along with your personality, others will love you." Kala turned away. "All I have is my looks. Without them... Without my looks, I'm just a horrid witch!"
"Don't say that!" Lexi said as she walked over to her. "You have plenty of other things going for you!" Kala griamced.
"Yeah, 24 carrots!" she said as dropped a few diamonds.
"No, not that! There's so much more, I'm sure!" Lexi said firmly.
"Like what?"
"You care for your people! You even care for Duck, though you have a weird way of showing it." Lexi laughed. Kala gave a hollow grin.
"That... is a very complicated matter." she said. "And he only like one thing about me!" she added with a laugh as she patted her hip. "You're a good girl, Lex. You should be careful around me." she dropped on to her bed. "Good girls like you and bad girls like me never get along."
