Forget Me Not

Chapter 8:

Edwin watched Wildwing's unconscious form from behind his desk. He was tied up to a pillar, one of the many going around the room. This duck had single-handedly ruined his plans to take over this planet and make Mallory his queen. The worst part of it was that Mallory had helped. This duck had seduced her and lured her to his side.

Now she would have to be taught a lesson, one that her lover would witness. A guard came to the door and stepped into the room, bowing before him. "Raise."

"Sir we have brought her."

"Well bring her in and tie her up there." He pointed to the pillar directly in front of him. The guards dragged in a half dressed Mallory. She was changed into a slaves skirt with the two slits going up the front over her thighs, allowing her legs to move freely, it hung down low barely covering her pubic line. Her top was removed but she was left in her bra, leaving her stomach exposed for the needle spitting torture. This would be her punishment.

The guards bound her hands in chains and slide the chains onto a hook above her, holding her arms over her head and keeping her on her knees. Then they bound her legs to the floor so that her knees stayed in place. Mallory looked over to see Wildwing tied to a pillar to her left, his armor was removed, along with his weapons, but he still had his shirt on. Which meant that it would not be him being tortured. "Good. I don't think I could handle that."

"Mallory." Edwin called out to her, getting her attention. "Why do you look to him? He will not save you." Edwin got up and walked over to her stopping in front of her he lifted her chin so that she looked at him. "I don't want to do this but you leave me no choice with your actions. You must be taught a lesson. You know how I work and how I do things. This kind of behavior is not tolerated in my palace. You know what I'm about to do don't you?"

"Your spitting needle technique."

"Yes." Edwin let her chin go and walked back to his desk. "This is going to hurt Mallory. You've seen it. You know... I never thought that a day would come that I had to use this on you." He seemed saddened for a moment but he went back to his stoic face. "Know that I do this today for your benefit."

Mallory looked at the ground. "My benefit..."

"Yes."

"When have you ever done anything for my benefit?"

"How could you say that."

"The first day you saw me, you took me in with a plan and once you learned of my skills you put them to use. Then once you took notice of my looks you decided that you wanted me. EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE EVER DONE HAS ONLY EVER BEEN FOR YOU!" She was looking at him now with a fire in her eyes. "I DON'T WANT YOU AND I NEVER DID! ACCEPT THAT EDWIN!"

He only glared at her from across the room. "Do not raise your voice to me."

With all the yelling Mallory was doing Wildwing began to wake up. "Wildwing, I'm glad you could join us." Wildwing shook his head to clear the fog over his brain but when he finally took in his surroundings and saw Mallory, he was livid.

"MALLORY!" He looked at Edwin and intensified his glare. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HER?"

"Teaching her a lesson that she will never forget." Edwin place one long needle in his beak, using his teeth to hold on to the back of it. Suddenly he shot the needle from his mouth into Mallory's stomach, it went deep and caused her great pain, but this wouldn't kill her. No, this technique was only meant to cause pain, not kill. Mallory tried to curl in on herself to protect her stomach, a natural reaction often seen when using this technique but was unable to due the being chained up.

"STOP IT! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!" Wildwing frantically struggled with his bound arms.

"Enjoy the show Wildwing. We have just begun. Note that this is happening because of you. If you hadn't seduced Mallory and taken her away from me then this wouldn't be happening to her right now."

Edwin put two needles in his mouth.

"AND YOU THINK THIS WILL BRING HER TO YOUR SIDE!?"

"Pain is an incredible motivator. Like everyone else she will break under it." He shot the two needles out of his mouth next to the first needle he shot, making a line. Mallory threw her head back and tried not to scream, grinding her teeth together.

"STOP! DO IT TO ME INSTEAD!" Wildwing couldn't stand seeing her be tortured. This son of a bitch was going to pay when he got out of this.

"There would be no point in that. This is to teach her not to betray me." He spit four needles into Mallory's stomach. She threw her head back and opened her mouth to take in a large breath and let out a loud and pained scream. "AHHHH!"

Edwin continued he shot another four needles into her. "AAAHHHH!" She focused on her breathing and looked down at her stomach. The skin around the puncturing needle was red and slightly swelling. She watched as three more needles stabbed into her abdomen, tearing through the skin. Mallory threw her head back and screamed again.

She realized that the bastard was basically branding her. Slowly he was spelling his name along her abdomen with his needles. "I... will... never be... yours... Edwin." She ground out through clenched teeth. Looking up she saw that this only seemed to anger him. Opening his desk drawer he pulled out a bottle of green liquid.

"You know what this is. This is a rare toxin that I sometimes dip these needles in. It won't kill you but it will make the pain unbearable. How it works is it attacks your nervous system by stimulating your brain so that everything is incredibly sensitive... but sensitive to pain. Your nerves are going to feel like they are on fire... Now... tell me what you just said again."

Wildwing looked at Mallory wanting to go to her and protect her. Mallory looked over at him and then back at Edwing. "I'll never be yours."

Edwin didn't waste time in dipping his needles and firing three of the toxin tipped needles into her stomach again. "AAAAAHHHHHHAHH!" He shot it again making Mallory scream. Each time he shot a needle Mallory's screams got worse. While Wildwing yelled for him to stop. At one point he was frantically calling Mallory's name, who couldn't respond.

"I'll do anything! Just stop!" Though it couldn't be seen through the mask Wildwing's eyes were wet with tears.

Edwin just ignored him and continued his work until finally he finished spelling his name. He walked over to her and pointed at the writing. "This signature on your stomach says my name. Therefore you must be mine. Don't you agree."

Mallory didn't respond, she was in too much pain and her throat was raw from screaming. Edwin grabbed the needles and pulled them all out letting blood flow from the small holes caused by the needles. It quickly went down her abdomen in little rivers, dripping to the floor under her. Wildwing was working on sawing through his ropes but with the angle that his hands were at he was having a hard time and getting frustrated fast. "Mallory is suffering and I can't cut through a fucking rope!"

"You son of a bitch. How dare you scar her body with your name! Your mad!" Wildwing was so close to cutting through his ropes now. "Just a little more."

Edwin ignored him again. He grabbed Mallory's chain holding up her wrists and slide them off of the hook, letting her body drop to the floor on her hurt stomach. She just looked to Wildwing trying to find the strength to get up and fight but the toxin had done it's job. She couldn't move with throwing her body into a world of pain. Edwin unchained her legs and grabbed her arms, turning her onto her back he pulled her across the floor to his desk. Lifting her by her chains on her arm he pulled her so that she was looking directly in his face. "Still think your not mine?"

Mallory didn't answer, instead she spit in his face. Edwin threw her down on her back onto his desk. He wiped his face off and looked down at her. "Very well. You still need enlightenment." Crawling on top of her he grabbed her thighs and pushed them apart, placing himself in between them. "Shall we show your lover who you belong to now." He said in her ear. Mallory just looked back at Wildwing, who was frantically trying to get free. His face was one of rage. Then he saw something and motioned with his head and eyes for her to look at.

Her body was barely cooperating but looking at the ground below her she was something shining wickedly in the moon light. A knife. She reached for it while Edwin was busy trying to take the rest of her clothes off. Her fingers brushed it and she was able to finally grab it but Edwin saw this and grabbed her wrists, stopping her from stabbing him. So distracted by Mallory he didn't see Wildwing break lose from his ropes.

Wildwing charged at Edwin like a linebacker and tackled him off of Mallory. Mallory could only lay where she was on the verge of passing out. She heard a commotion in the halls and the door to the office was suddenly smash open. In was Grin with Tanya beside him. They both saw Wildwing punching Edwin's face bloody and Grin went to intervene. Tanya grabbed a robe off the wall and covered Mallory's body.

"Your gonna be ok-okay Mallory." She lifted the robe to look over her wounds. "We can fix this. This will be no problem." Tanya used her emergency kit in her Omitool to care for Mallory's wounds. Nosedive and Duke finally made it in to see Grin trying to hold Wildwing back from killing Edwin and Mallory injured and barely dressed on a desk with Tanya trying to help her. They didn't need to be told, they could guess what happened.

Nosedive and Duke walked forward and grabbed Edwin's barely concussion body off the floor. They dragged him away from an enraged Wildwing.

Grin held onto him. "My friend you must calm yourself. This will not help Mallory." This seemed to snap Wildwing out of it. He stopped struggling with Grin and nodded. "Let me go to Mallory." Grin released him and Wildwing went to the other side of the desk and held Mallory's head. He kissed her face and nuzzled her hair. Mallory nuzzled him back and kissed his beak. He brushed his fingers through her hair while talking softly to her. Telling her that he was going to take care of her and bring her back home. She would nod and rub her face into his hands.

While this was happening, Tanya was healing her wounds from the needle holes. They weren't very big but they were deep and there was a poison in the wounds that caused great pain. Not only that but they didn't know what else the poison could possibly do, so moving Mallory too much right now was out of the question.

"Wildwing were did he get this poison? I need some to make an antidote."

"Right there Tanya. The green bottle." Tanya grabbed the bottle he was talking about. She showed it to him and he nodded. She took a some of the poison with her Omitool and began getting an analysis. "Okay, Okay the good news is that this is only meant to cause more pain, it doesn't have any other side effects."

"What's the bad news?" Wildwing was a little unsure.

"Well that she is in a lot of pain and will be until I can make the antidote for her." Wildwing just looked down at Mallory's sweating facing and brushed some of her hair out of her eyes.

"Can you give her something to help?"

"Yeah we can tranquilize her." Said Tanya. Making sure Mallory was covered. All her wounds were tended to and bandaged.

"Okay do it."

Tanya nodded and went into her medical kit, pulling out a syringe, she was about to inject Mallory when Mallory grabbed her hand, effectively stopping her.

"No not yet. Wildwing, in my room there is a tall closet that has my clothes in it. The red bustier with reptile skin, it has a detonator in it. I need that."

"Duke can you grab it?" Wildwing looked over at Duke.

"Yeah no problem." Duke ran off to grab what Mallory asked for.

"I didn't trust Dragaunus when I met him so I put explosives in his crystals." Wildwing smiled down at her. "Always prepared eh Mal?" She just smiled back at him.

"Bada-bing I got the detonator." Duke handed it to Wildwing who put it in his pocket.

"Alright lets get out of here. Tie up that asshole and bring him with us. I still need to have some words with him." Duke nodded and he and Nosedive grabbed Edwin and tied him up.

Wildwing wrapped Mallory in the robe that Tanya had place over her and carried her out of the palace. Mallory whimpered in his arms from moving too much.

"Hurry guys. To the Aerowing." They all ran to the ship parked not far from the palace. In the distance they could see Dragaunus's ship rising into the sky, preparing to attack this planet. They got the Aerowing off the ground and into the air, far from the palace. Wildwing pulled the detonator from his pocket and looked at it a moment then back at Dragaunus's ship. This was it for old lizard lips.

Mallory looked up at him, still laying in his arms. "Is Dragaunus and his goons still in the ship?" Wildwing scanned it with the mask and found each one of them in there. "Yep."

…..

Inside Dragaunus's ship, Dragaunus was giving out orders and preparing to attack the planet until he saw the ducks Aerowing approaching them. He smiled thinking he had the upper hand now that Mallory had given him the crystals.

"Hahaha. She practically handed her and her friends heads over to me on a silver plate... Poor thing. I almost feel sorry for beating her senseless. Almost." He looked over at Siege at the control panel. "Siege destroy those ducks before you start attacking the planet."

"With pleasure." Siege started firing on the Aerowing, which was dodging his shots.

"Hehe so long Wildwing. Die with your lost love and your pathetic little family."

…..

"Then let's do it." Said Mallory. Wildwing nodded and brought the detonator up so she and he could hold it at the same time. She placed her thumb over the button and Wildwing's larger thumb was on top of hers. They looked out at Dragaunus's ship. It was starting to fire on them.

"Uh guys if your going to do that we need you to do it now." Tanya said from the pilot seat of the Aerowing, dodging the shots from Dragaunus's ship.

Mallory and Wildwing didn't respond they both just watched the ship slowly getting closer. They looked at each other and nodded. Looking back at Dragaunus's ship the Raptor, they both pressed down on the button at the same time.

…..

Siege had them in his sights, just as he was about to fire a fatal shot something ruptured in the ship.

"What's going on?" Dragaunus asked.

"We've lost control of the ship." Said Siege. "The beryllium crystals have been blown! That wench tricked us!"

"When I get my hands on that red headed mallard I'm going to strangle the life out of her with my bare hands!" Dragaunus roared. Suddenly another explosion went off this one was much louder and ripped part of the Raptor open. Loud air rushed in on them as sirens went off alerting them of the irreparable damage to the ship. "NOOOO MY SHIP!"

"I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT US!" Said the Chameleon. Flames from the explosion shot down the halls and filled the air. It moved like water filling a sinking ship, covering anything and everything in its path. The flames burning its way quickly through the ship and finally filled the cockpit, drowning Dragaunus and his goons in fire and sucking any and all oxygen from the room. Once it touched the control panel it set off the final explosion that tore the Raptor to piece and instantly incinerated it's passengers. Dragaunus was finally dead.

…..

Nothing happened at first until suddenly the Raptor was torn wide open from an explosion, quickly the rest of the ship followed suit, catching fire and shattered into millions of pieces of twisted metal. The flames were big and so bright that the whole sky was lite up. There wasn't even a solid piece of the ships body to hit the ground with, just shrapnel.

"Wow! That was one hell of a fireworks show!" Said Nosedive. All of the ducks stared in awe at what used to be the Raptor and they're nemesis. "Man Mal, there isn't even a ship to hit the ground. Remind me never to piss you off again."

Mallory just smiled up at Wildwing feeling a little awkward that she didn't know these ducks and not sure what to say. Wildwing understood and carried her back to the Medicom, passing a bloody and tied up Edwin on his way. Edwin glared at Wildwing the whole time, never taking his eyes off of him and Wildwing glared right back. Feeling more then ready to beat the living shit out of him for the torture that he had inflicted on Mallory, not to mention the years of keeping her like a pet and trying to force her to marry him but what pissed him off the most was seeing Edwin climb on top of her on his desk. He could have killed him right then and there if it wasn't for Grin. Grin pulled him back to himself and helped stop him from doing something that he would have regretted for he rest of his life.

Lying Mallory down on the Medicom bed, he brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her mouth. Tanya walked over and prepped the Medicom to heal her and restore her memories.

"Wildwing, this guy is a wanted fugitive from a couple of years before we left Puckworld. We should take him back there to face his crimes."

"Alright, then open a gateway to Puckworld. We're going home." Wildwing nodded and sat back next to Mallory.

"Alright we are going home!" Nosedive shouted from the front of the plane. Everyone joined in and celebrated except for Mallory, who was unconscious and Wildwing. Edwin of course was tied up and wasn't too keen on going back to face his crimes. He would get life imprisonment if not possibly exile, which was as good as death in the frozen landscapes of Puckworld.

Tanya activated the dimensional gateway and they were on their way home to Puckworld. When they arrived they cheered and hugged. They had come out on the other side of the planet and the flight back to the major city they were from would be a long one but they had plenty of fuel. Tanya made the antidote to the toxin and gave it to Mallory as soon as she was done.

The Medicom worked on Mallory over night and the whole time Wildwing didn't leave her side. It was 6am when the Medicom was finally finished and Wildwing was anxious. He rubbed his thumb over the top of the hand that he was holding. Mallory slowly opened her eyes, blinking them to adjust to the light from the Medicom.

"Mallory?" She turned to look at Wildwing. Seeing his face she just stared for a moment. He was watching her waiting for her to tell him that she still didn't remember anything and then she smiled. Jumping up she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. He wrapped his arms back around her kissing her back. When they broke the kiss she laughed and a few tears escaped her eyes. The team chose to given them their privacy for a bit, the lovers needed a moment to themselves.

"You remember everything." He smiled, wiping away her tears with his thumbs and she nodded, laughing a little. He kissed her again, happy that she finally remembered everything.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I attacked you and the others. I didn't believe the things you told me until you had to prove it. Something in me wanted to go back to you many times but I wouldn't let myself-"

"It's okay Mallory. I understood then and I still do. I'm just glad to have you back." He ran his hand up and down her arms in a comforting manner. Hugging her to him he kissed her forehead and breathed in her scent. She wrapped her arms tightly around he chest and pressed her face into the side of his neck. "I love you Wildiwng."

"I love you too Mallory." Wildwing and Mallory were so caught up in their reunion that they didn't notice Edwin cutting free from his bonds with a small knife that he kept on him. He rushed Wildwing's back and stabbed the knife into his right side below his ribs. Wildwing yelled out in pain and threw his elbow back into Edwin's side, knocking him back and taking the knife with him. Everyone in the front stood up to attack Edwin but Wildwing held up his hand from them to stop. They did as commanded and let Wildwing handle it, like he clearly wanted to. This was personal.

Wildwing held his side and pushed Mallory back who was more than ready to attack Edwin. "Let me at Wildwing. I'll put him down for good." She grabbed a gun and aimed it a Edwin but Wildwing stopped her.

"No I want to do this. I own him for the two years that he kept you from me." He cracked his knuckles acting as if his side wasn't killing him.

"But your injury?" Mallory didn't want Wildwing to fight injured, especially when she could do it just fine herself. "It's fine. He didn't hit anything vital." He walked forward ready to take on Edwin who had his knife out ready to slash more wholes into him.

Wildwing put his fists up and Edwin moved in for the first attack. Wildwing expected this and side stepped it, rocketing his fist forward into the side of Edwin's face. Edwin stumbled back but righted himself quickly. He started using a fighting technique meant for fighting with a blade. He spin and slashed dangerously at Wildwing nicking him a couple of times but nothing serious. If anything it was just starting to piss Wildwing off even more but he needed to be careful, one wrong move and this guy would cut his throat open. Seeing that Edwin was leaving his left side open a lot Wildwing planned to go for it.

Edwin moved forward for another slash and Wildwing side stepped it to his left. He punch Edwin in his unguarded left side but Edwin was planning this and he threw the knife to his other hand and launched his arm back, intending to stab Wildwing right through the side of his neck. This move had worked for him countless times but Wildwing was one of the best goalies on Earth. His hand shot up and he grabbed Edwin's wrist, surprising him.

He twisted Edwin's wrist holding the knife hard until he heard the telltale snap, forcing him to drop his weapon. Edwin yelled out and grabbed his wrist. He kicked at Wildwing but this was again blocked and Wildwing in return punched him hard across the face twice.

Edwin went down on his knees barely holding on to consciousness. He watched as Wildwing walked up with Mallory behind him. "This looks kinda familiar, except I was on the ground when you did this to me." Wildwing said, lifting his foot up clearly intending to kick Edwin in the head to knock him out. "By the way Edwin, she was never yours." The irony wasn't lost on Edwin but he didn't have much of a chance to really think about it since Wildwing kicked him right in the forehead with the heel of his boot, knocking him out cold.

Nosedive cuffed Edwin's hands and feet with metal this time. "He won't be getting up from that hit anytime soon." He laughed.

"Hey guys looks!" Tanya pointed a head of them to where she was flying. "It's home!" Out before them was and large city that was clearly being rebuilt but still was a beautiful sight to the ducks.

"Wow and they already started repairing it! Look! That old skyscraper that was knocked down is brand new!" Said Duke.

Mallory and Wildwing held hands watching the city approach. "What do you think they'll do when we land?" Everyone releasing that they hadn't properly greeted Mallory jumped up and gave her in a big group hug. She laughed until they heard a voice over the radio call their plane.

"Your approaching protected air space. Identify yourselves. Failure to cooperate will result in immeidate-."

"Wow! Don't shoot! We're the resistance! We completed our mission and have killed Dragaunus. O-over." Tanya spoke to the pilots following them.

"The resistance! Identify each member!"

"Our leader is Wildwing Flashblade. Other members are Nosedive Flashblade, Mallory McMallard, Grin Hardwing, Duke L'Orange, and myself Tanya Vanderflock. We lost Canard Thunderbeak chasing Dragaunus through the dimensional gateway."

There was a moment of silence and everyone wondered if they believed them or not, finally the pilot responded. "Follow me down Aerowing... and let me be the first to welcome you home... heroes." The pilot came over the com and they all celebrated again. Wildwing sat on the Medicom and let it quickly work on his side.

When they landed and walked out, there were thousands of happy people celebrating their return at the military base that they landed at. There families were there waiting for them but what surprised them the most was the male tan duck. There next to Wildwing's and Nosedive's family stood Canard Thunderbeak, alive and well. Turns out that instead of being eaten he was just dropped back onto Puckworld out of the dimensional gateway. He had broken a couple of bones in the fall but because he helped destroy the master tower and chased Dragaunus from Puckworld, he was being treated like a king. Wildwing and Nosedive rushed forward and gave their old long lost friend a hug. Everyone rejoiced in his safe return to the team. The whole team was back together.

A few months later it was announced to Puckworld that the heroes of their world that chased Dragaunus off the planet had returned victorious. Of course prof was given of the destruction of the Raptor from cameras in the Aerowing. Edwin had been handed off to the proper authorities, he would be judged by the high council. They only judged the greatest of offenders, so without a doubt his punishment would be sever.

They were treated like kings and queens, just like Canard. Not long after arriving back on Puckworld Wildwing's and Mallory's engagement was announced to the world. The next time they went back to Earth they would be married and they would go back to Earth, after all they were hockey stars there. Not to mention Phil would want to make a big to do out of Mallory and Wildwing being married. The publicity alone would make him a fortune and Phil loved that word. So when they did go back to Earth to start their next season, Phil was ecstatic to find that they were going to let him make a big deal out of them getting married on Earth and boy did he. There were cameras everywhere! Fan's had to buy tickets to watch it and they were sold out! Mallory and Wildwing were married on the ice in the stadium with the other ducks surrounding them. Tanya was Mallory's bride's maid and Nosedive and Canard was Wildwing's best men. Phil walked Mallory out to Wildwing, who actually started crying a little while walking her up. Mallory comforted him by patting his hand affectionately and Phil handed her off to Wildwing and joined the others. They were finally announced to Earth as Man and Wife and kissed making the crowds go nuts. It was definitely a day to remember. They didn't mind that Phil made it such a show, they had already had their dream wedding back on Puckworld.

A couple months later Mallory was pregnant with her and Wildwing's first child. They were both ecstatic and not long after Duke and Tanya announced their engagement. They pretty much went through the same stuff Mallory and Wildwing went through on Puckworld and with Phil but it was completely worth it.

Grin it turns out had left a wife behind and was reunited with her when he returned to Puckworld. Nosedive and Canard on the other hand enjoyed the life of two of Puckworld's more eligible bachelors for a while. They both had a tone of fan girls but one day Nosedive was struck hard by cupids arrow and it was not long before he was engaged as well. Canard claimed that he would never be claimed but ended up falling a couple of months later. They had all found their happiness after Dragaunus was gone.

Life was good and as it should be... peaceful and surrounded by family and friends.

Fin.
