Later on, after a while, Shaz and the Ducks practiced for a game on the ice rink, and where even though she wasn't a sports person, Lauren watched their practice. Lauren watched the game and overtime, she seemed to get used to it and the hockey playing grew on her. Shaz was happy to see her enjoying the practice.

"Whoa! That was close!" Lauren gasped.

Shaz chuckled. "I think we've found our newest fan."

Lauren smiled sheepishly about that.

"Who else is gonna get your ice cream endorsed by six alien ducks, huh?" Phil smiled as he was on the phone while Lauren watched the game. "I'm your man!"

"Go, Tanya!" Lauren cheered as Tanya shot the puck in the goal.

"HEY, YOU GUYS WANNA KEEP IT DOWN HERE?!" Phil called out with a slight glare. "I'M TRYING TO MAKE US SOME FAST BUCKS HERE!"

Lauren firmly pouted to him, but smiled to The Mighty Ducks.

"Call ya back." Phil said before hanging up.

"We're practicing! Go take your calls outside!" Shaz told him.

"Ah, serves me right," Phil grumbled before storming off. "Getting mixed up with an animal act."

"I am starting to question of how he is my uncle." Lauren said.

"You gonna be okay, kid?" Shaz asked.

"Maybe I should talk to him..." Lauren said softly. "He looks pretty upset."

"He just needs some peace and quiet." Shaz assured her.

"Well, all right... I may not read other people's emotions well, but if you insist..." Lauren said before taking out an air horn and yelling. "TAKE A POWDER ON THEM, MALLORY!"

Shaz and the team then continued to practice as Lauren watched them. Unfortunately with Phil being alone, he would be a perfect target for the Saurians.

"You guys are pretty good, even if I don't watch sports very often, and I'm glad that I got to watch you guys practice." Lauren said as she watched them.

"You ever think you might play?" Shaz asked.

"Oh, uh, no, no," Lauren smiled sheepishly. "I don't need to play any sports, I'm not the athletic type."

"You never know until you try." Shaz smiled back.

"I'm pretty sure." Lauren smiled sheepishly.

"Aw, come on, kiddo," Tanya soothed. "Even someone as smart as me can play hockey!"

Lauren had to admit Tanya was smart and she was great at playing hockey.

"So, whatya think?" Tanya asked.

"Maybe you could teach me a little..." Lauren replied bashfully.

"You got it." Tanya smiled.

Lauren smiled back.


They soon got Lauren the proper equipment. Lauren slipped a little on her skates while trying to keep her balance.

"You don't skate much, do ya?" Nosedive asked.

"Guess I need practice with that too." Lauren said.

"We'll help you along the way." Shaz said.

"Well, alright..." Lauren said. "I guess anyone can really do it."

The team soon helped Lauren with skating. Lauren did her best to focus and tried to think highly of herself in athletics as she was usually using her brain instead of her muscle. It would work better for her in different places.

"Oh, I don't know if I'll ever get this." Lauren pouted.

"Patience... I used to be just like you." Grin advised.

"Really?" Laured asked.

"I shall tell you about my life story sometime when we're not busy." Grin told her.

"Great." Lauren smiled out of interest.

They continued to help Lauren with her skating, and where soon enough, she started to get the hang of it.

"I think I got it now." Lauren said as she skid along the ice.

"You sure do." Nosedive said.

Phil soon came back and sat down in the stands.

"Uncle Phil, I think I'm gonna play hockey now!" Lauren beamed. "I haven't been this excited since my first potato clock!" She soon noticed him acting strange.

"Sit down for a minute, we'll show you a great move." Tanya smiled.

"Uh... Okay." Lauren smiled back and sat down, though looked curious to Phil. She decided to find out what was with her uncle later. Lauren took off the hockey gear for right now to sit down and take a break as she continued to watch them in action.

"Here it comes!" Nosedive called out.

Grin coached himself and hit the puck, but it seemed to bounce all around the hockey rink, but luckily, no one was hit by it.

"Whew." Lauren sighed.

"You okay, Lauren?" Shaz asked.

"I'm alright." Lauren replied.

"Maybe I oughta thread those calculations one more time." Tanya suggested to herself.

They soon went to find the puck.

"Phil? Phil! Are you okay?" Wildwing asked as Phil looked knocked out.

"Creamed by my own team?" Phil glared as he soon woke up. "I'll sue myself for damages!"

"Luckily, the puck didn't hit you." Lauren said.

"Well, he's okay." Mallory replied.

Phil then touched his head while growling slightly before yelling out. "Oh, the pain! The paaain! You guys owe me."

Lauren looked concerned and a little annoyed at the same time. She soon came over to her uncle's head to make sure he wasn't hurt.

"Aaaugh!" Phil cried out.

"Hm... I don't see a bump or a bruise..." Lauren observed. "That means you didn't get hit."

"Oh, but it hurts..." Phil pouted. "Oww..."

"Are you six-years-old?" Lauren deadpanned.

"We'll make this up to you, Phil, what can we do?" Shaz asked.

"Well... There is the matter of those public appearances..." Phil replied.

Shaz should have seen that coming, but he had to agree to make Phill feel better.

"You stay here." Phil told Lauren.

"I am not a child, I am perfectly capable of going anywhere you guys go," Lauren replied. "Besides, you promised my parents you'd spend time with me."

"Dang it." Phil groaned.

"Shall I call them?" Lauren smirked.

"No, no, that's okay..." Phil told her. "Alright fine, go get your coat."

Lauren smirked as she went to get her coat.

"Uh, coat?" Shaz asked.

"Hope ya don't freeze to death." Phil hinted.

"Why?" Shaz asked.

"Oh, we're just going to a little snowy climate." Phil replied.

"Snowy...?" Shaz repeated.


Suddenly, they were shown in what looked like a snow storm.

"I can understand why you gave me that hint." Shaz said while not being affected by the climate.

Lauren shivered and her teeth chattered as she hated the cold as the TV host soon came to the camera to film while everyone else tried to get used to the frigid cold.

"So, basically, you brought us to go mountain climbing, and snowboarding, and hang-gliding, in what, like a raging storm?" Tanya asked her manager.

"Only a complete idiot would do something like that." Mallory commented.

"Like him?" Shaz asked, pointing to Nosedive who looked ready to hang glide.

"This is gnarly!" Nosedive laughed.

"Yep." Mallory smirked.

"This is c-c-crazy!" Lauren shivered.

"We owe it to Phil!" Wildwing glared.

"T-T-The weather's getting worse," A man cried out. "I think we should call it off!"

"Yeah, I hate to say it, but maybe you're right." Phil said.

"So then can we go before this gets worse?!" Lauren shivered.

Suddenly, Phil's phone rang and he answered it.

"Hey, bubulah, the ducks can handle a little snow!" Phil then told the concerned man. "Where they come from, it snows all the time!"

"All right then," The director replied before calling into his megaphone. "And... Action!"

'Is he insane?!' Lauren thought to herself.

"Now, let's watch today's guests get into some Reckless Behavior!" The host laughed on camera. "Introducing those hockey maniacs from another dimension: The Mighty Ducks! Go for broke, bird folk, it's a race to the bottom! Last one down's a rotten duck! I just made that up!"

Shaz simply rolled his eyes at the last thing the host said. Lauren still shivered as she stood in the snow while watching The Mighty Ducks in action. Tanya, Shaz, and Wildwing got on snowboards while Grin, Mallory, and Duke were mountain climbing.

'This is a little dangerous.' Shaz thought to himself.

Little did anyone know, the Saurians were right on their trail.

"DUCKS! THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF MOUNTAIN HEADING THIS WAY!" Nosedive called out.

"Oh, crud." Shaz said.

"It's a... A... AN AVALANCHE!" Tanya yelped.

They soon came to the bottom of the mountain as the snow rumbled down to ambush them.

"Right, what she said man!" Nosedive gasped.

Shaz soon decided to try to use his magic to stop the avalanche.

"Oh, dear havens..." Lauren muttered to herself while shivering.

"I got this, you guys!" Shaz told the others. His eyes soon felt like something hot was coming out of them.

This melted most of the snow right away and they were all safe from the avalanche. This made Wraith and Siege angered and annoyed as Nosedive continued to hang-glide and eventually found them hiding. Shaz's eyes soon stopped feeling warm.

"S-Shaz, are you alright?" Lauren asked.

"No problem," Shaz smiled. "That avalanche didn't count on me to turn up the temperature."

"But how were you able to do that?" Lauren asked.

"Oh, you don't know?" Shaz asked. "I have special powers."

"So, then you're like Superman or Captain Marvel?" Lauren asked.

"Well, yes, you could say that," Shaz replied. "I'll tell you the story later."

"Fascinating..." Lauren nodded.

They soon heard Nosedive yell out.

"What has Nosedive done now?" Shaz groaned.

"We better find out." Lauren said.

They soon moved out to go and find Nosedive before it would be too late. Nosedive soon yelled out and landed in the middle of the snow.

"Any fractured limbs?" Lauren asked out of concern. "I can build an X-Ray."

"Mommy, I don't wanna go to preschool today..." Nosedive babbled before falling back into the snow.

"I think he's fine." Shaz said.


They soon went back to the Pond. Nosedive babbled as he was being checked out by the others like in a hospital.

"How's he doing?" Wildwing asked Tanya.

"Not sure, that would depend on how much he enjoys concussions." Tanya replied.

Nosedive mumbled as he laid in bed. Lauren looked worried for Nosedive. Phil mumbled to himself as he paced around.

Lauren glanced to her uncle while helping the others look after Nosedive. "No, no, I shouldn't eavesdrop..." she told herself. "That's quite rude and immature," She soon heard another phone call coming from her uncle's cell phone. "Don't... Eavesdrop..." she told herself, though she found herself having a hard time resisting, and soon stayed put with the Mighty Ducks.

"That's it, we're cancelling the rest of the public appearances." Wildwing decided.

"I agree." Shaz nodded.

"But the little children!" Phil began to bawl.

Lauren glanced at her crying uncle.

"I think Phil finally made one deal too many." Mallory said to the others.

"For once." Lauren agreed.

"What's the matter with you?" Wildwing asked his manager.

"You can't miss the school fundraiser!" Phil cried. "It'll let down all those poor kids!"

"Seriously?" Lauren asked.

"Oh, Lauren, just think about kids your age..." Phil told her while crying actual tears.

"Are these legitimate lipids with lysozyme and lacritin?" Lauren asked as she took a tear on her fingertip.

"It's called crying...?" Phil said, confused of how she was talking.

"Alright, alright." Lauren groaned.

"If it means that much to ya..." Wildwing heaved a sharp sigh.

"Well, at least it won't be anyplace dangerous." Shaz said.

"Unless it's a rowdy public school." Lauren muttered.


They soon flew to get to a school, but for some reason, they stopped at a diner where motorbikes were parked outside.

"This is a school?" Mallory asked out of confusion.

"Not exactly." Lauren sighed.

"Grin, double check our coordinates." Wildwing said as they left as he soon opened the door.

"Some school," Duke scoffed. "Cafeteria's got a full bar."

Shaz sighed as he already knew where they were.

"Yeah, and the teacher's got a tattoo." Mallory said, annoyed.

"Be nice, some of these kids have been held back." Phil told his clients.

"I think they should be careful around Shaz and Grin due to their strength." Lauren said.

The bartender glared and spit into his hand, looking as aggressive as his patrons. "We don't serve no freaks here."

"And a painful use of grammar..." Lauren grumbled.

"Well, maybe these nice folks can tell us where the school is." Phil suggested.

"You don't know where the school is?!" Lauren glared.

"Aw, you worry too much." Phil told her. "It's probably from too much reading."

"I question our relation so much, it feels like you use my cerebellum like it spreads like some sort of pathological disease!" Lauren replied.

Phil just looked at her. "I have no idea what any of those words mean."

Lauren simply went face-palm while groaning.

"Looky what we got here," A man at the pool table smirked with his friends. "Mother Hen and a flock of chicks!"

"Whoa, forget it, Phil," Wildwing said as he grabbed the man's shoulder. "We don't want any trouble."

"Relax, I'll use my people skills on him." Phil smiled as he went to go over there.

"Uh, I think we better let Shaz handle him." Lauren said.

"Aw, kid, what're the odds of something bad happening to me?" Phil asked.

"859,707,405 to one." Lauren replied logically.

"Oh, fine." Phil sighed.

"Excuse me a moment." Shaz said before going to the patrons at the pool table. "Uh, excuse me?"

"What do you want, you little dweeb?" One man glared.

"Just need directions to a school." Shaz said.

"School, eh?" The man asked while shooting the white ball with his cue. "I don't think I've seen one for miles."

"That's weird," Shaz said to himself. "Did Phil get us lost on purpose?"

"Your friend there don't look like the sharpest knife in the drawer." The man commented about Phil.

"That's a very good point." Shaz said to him.

"Wanna go for a round of pool?" The man asked.

"Oh, uh, I don't know if I have enough time," Shaz chuckled. "We're on business."

"Aw, you gonna play chicken with your chicken friends?" The man teased.

This caused Shaz to get enraged. "Oh, it is on." He then glared.

The man chuckled and handed him the pool cue to take a turn. Shaz soon took his turn. The man chuckled to him.

"Aw, hush..." Shaz grumbled and soon stuck his tongue out in concentration.

After a little while, he soon hit the white ball and which sent a red pool ball rolling down one of the holes.

"Hm... Not bad..." The man commented.

"Good enough for ya?" Shaz smirked playfully.

"Don't get too cocky." The man smirked back.

Suddenly, something crumbled inside the pool hall and there came drones.

"Aw, not you guys again." Shaz glared.

'Stand clear, Earthlings!' A drone demanded before shooting.

"Why today?" Shaz complained. "Why today at all?"

"Lauren, you wait outside, it's not safe." Phil told his niece.

"I am growing weary of you treating me like a child!" Lauren complained, but he took her outside anyway, not listening to her protests. "Are you serious?!"

More and more drones came to invade the Pool Hall.

'Surrender or perish.' A drone demanded as they came to surround Shaz and the Mighty Ducks.

"How about we try none of the above?" Shaz glared.

Wildwing soon shot at them with his wrist blaster and they dodged the shots from the drones.

"Don't worry, the Ducks will stop those drones." Shaz told the other man.

"You promise?" The man frowned to him while hugging him as he hid under the pool table.

"I promise." Shaz said.

"You guys should check out my greatest hits!" Mallory glared before giving a roundhouse kick to a drone up against a jukebox. "Ah... Music to my ears."

"Nice one." Shaz smirked.

The drones continued to shoot at the Mighty Ducks.

"Ya know, I'd love to chat over a cup of coffee, and get back in this conversation into point." Duke told a drone before jumping up and twirling before coming down and slashed a drone's arm off with his sword.

Shaz soon got into the rumble with the drones.

"There's too many of 'em!" Wildwing called out as he tried to use his shield.

"Time to use my full speed and strength against these guys." Shaz said.

"Be my guest." Wildwing told him.

Shaz soon did a little stretching before running at super speed at the drones and destroying them with his full strength which was as strong as Captain Marvel and Superman. Lauren watched from the outside in amazement and excitement from Shaz's feats. After a few seconds, the drones were now scraps. Shaz wiped his forehead once he finished and smiled proudly of himself.

"You know, kid, with powers like those, you should probably keep them a secret and create a superhero alter ego so they won't know." The man told him.

"Well, I am part of this team..." Shaz shrugged about the Mighty Ducks.

"Yeah, but once other people find out you have super powers, they won't leave you alone for a second." The man said.

"Huh... I guess that's a good point... Thanks." Shaz smiled at how helpful this man seemed.

"No problem." The man smiled back.

Shaz smiled as this man seemed nicer than he appeared to be.


Later on, they left the bar.

"Well, that was rather disappointing." Lauren commented.

"You said it." Shaz said.

They soon went back into the ship and took off.

"Uncle Phil, what was that all about?" Lauren asked. "I've been pondering your behavior for a while now."

"Aw, don't worry about it, it's sweet of you to worry about me though." Phil smiled to her.

Lauren hummed as she had a hunch but had to be certain.

"That's it, no more publicity stunts." Wildwing said firmly.

"Just an autograph signing at a fireworks factory!" Phil replied. "What could possibly go wrong?"

"Only so many things." Lauren said.

"Sorry, Phil, but I'm with the others on this one," Shaz said. "Anyway, maybe we should go back and check on Nosedive."

Phil pouted and soon stormed away from them until his phone rang again. Lauren soon stormed over to her uncle's phone and took it from him and answered it for him.

"Hey!" Phil complained.

"Who is this...?" Lauren asked with a curious look on her face while also looking stern and suspicious.

'This call is for grown-ups only.' The voice demanded.

"Listen, my uncle is not setting up any more appointments for today." Lauren told the voice.

'Put him on the phone NOW, child!' The voice replied sharply, sounding familiar right now.

"Is this Wraith...?" Lauren smirked.

'Uh... No...' Wraith's voice lied before being hung up.

"Traitor!" Lauren glared. "So that's how they wanna play it, huh?"

"What's wrong, Lauren?" Shaz asked.

"I believe Uncle Phil has been duped by the Saurians..." Lauren replied.

"But how and when?" Mallory asked.

"I'm not certain... I think I need to have a little brain power on this..." Lauren pondered.

The phone soon rang again.

"DON'T ANSWER THAT!" Lauren demanded.

Unfortunately Phil did.

"I think Lauren might be onto something," Duke said. "Dragaunus's drones could not have been there by accident."

"Every one of these appearances has been a trap!" Mallory added.

"Somebody's been setting us up," Wildwing glared. "Somebody who knows our schedule..."

Shaz soon rushed over to Phil's phone and crushed it in his hand.

"Ooh, he's not going to like that, but good move, Shaz." Lauren approved.

"Thanks." Shaz said as he dusted the bits and pieces of the cell phone off his hands.

"THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!" Phil snapped at Shaz.

"Here we go..." Lauren muttered as she felt like she saw that coming.

"Well, sorry if we don't want Dragaunus and the Saurians to have another chance to try and kill us." Shaz glared at Phil.

"What're you talking about?" Phil replied.

"You don't remember anything before that call in the Arctic Circle?" Lauren asked.

"Not really, no..." Phil shrugged.

"Wraith must have hypnotized you." Shaz said.

"Why would he do that?" Phil wondered.

"To spy on Shaz and the other Mighty Ducks as a distraction!" Lauren replied, logically and on the edge. "But the question is why would they need them distracted?"

"You don't know?" Shaz asked.

"Well, not right now, but I'll think something over..." Lauren replied as she took out her notebook and began to write down some ideas.


Soon enough, Nosedive and Tanya came running in. Lauren muttered to herself as she tried to think.

"Nosedive, are you all right?" Shaz asked since he had a bad fall earlier and needed the rest.

"I am now, and I know what Dragaunus and his goons are after." Nosedive said.

"Aww... I wanted to figure it out..." Lauren pouted. "How come he gets to do it?"

"Sorry, kiddo, but we figured it out." Tanya said to her.

"Well, what are they after?" Lauren asked.

"A certain rocket," Nosedive said. "We were on our way to get it before Dragaunus and his goons could get to it first while you guys were running around town!"

"What rocket are they after?" Lauren asked.

"It's over at The Orbital Industries." Tanya told her.

Lauren soon knew exactly what rocket was there. "We have to go there... Now..." She then told the others. "You can't let anything or anybody stand in your way. This is your team."

"That's right." Shaz nodded.

Phil soon looked very angry.

"Whoa, calm down..." Lauren told him.

"Calm down?!" Phil glared as he took off his tie and tied it around his head like a headband. "Nobody uses Phil Palmfeather! It's payback time! And I'm gonna make shoes out of those two-bit lizards."

"Whoa." Lauren said.

"You stay back at The Pond where it's safe, you're too young to do stuff like this." Phil told her.

"But Uncle Phil!" Lauren pouted.

"Stay." Phil told her.

Lauren was both disappointed and annoyed with him right now. Though, he kind of had the right idea.

"All right... I suppose I can use my mechanical expertise to whip this place into shape." Lauren said once she was at The Pond alone while the others went off to confront Dragaunus.

They all now knew where to go.


Shaz looked around as they were going to where they had to get going. 'Where could they be?' He thought to himself, referring to the Saurians.

"You alright, Shaz?" Mallory asked.

"I'll be fine... Just mad at those Saurians for what they've done." Shaz replied firmly.

"Trust me, so are the rest of us." Mallory said.

"ATTENTION, DUCKS!" A voice blared from inside the industry. "GENERAL GEORGE S. CHAMELEON INTENDS TO BLOW YOUR TAIL FEATHERS BACK INTO ORBIT!"

"George S. Chameleon?" Shaz deadpanned. "Come on, man..."

"That's The Chameleon, isn't it?" Mallory asked him.

"Oh, you bet." Shaz replied.

"Duke, get out us out of here, now!" Wildwing commanded.

Duke soon drove them away just as the cannon fired.

"I'd say nice try, but it's not even that, kind of lame!" Shaz laughed.


"You feather brains are never getting in here!" Chameleon snapped in his disguise. "Do you hear me?! I repeat, NEVER!" He soon noticed Phil missing.

As if on cue, Phil came to the door and kicked it down and grabbed a hold of the Chameleon as he turned back to normal.

"Augh, hey, I was just doin' a bad impression!" Chameleon cried out. "That ain't a crime! Uh... Roast Duck!"

"Forget it, you stinking dino-trash; you'll never work in this town again!" Phil glared.

"Talk to my agent, Earthling!" Chameleon retorted before teleporting away.

"Oh, beautiful, Phil, you took on the Chameleon." Duke chuckled.

"Yeah... I did, didn't I?" Phil smiled before suddenly passing out.

'Wow.' Shaz thought to himself.

"You gotta cancel the launch!" Wildwing told the workers as the countdown started.

One man came to the controls and took out a speaker. "Countdown terminated, launch disposed." he then commanded which made the countdown stop for the rocket.

"Whew." Shaz sighed out of relief.

"That's what you think..." Dragaunus smirked as he pulled a lever to launch a rocket anyway.

"What the blazes?!" The man gasped.

"Nosedive, where are you?" Shaz asked through his communicator.

"A thousand feet up and climbing!" Nosedive panicked.

"Shoot!" Shaz groaned before he soon rushed out with the remaining team. "They're on the rocket!"

"We gotta use that jet!" Wildwing told the worker.

"It's a prototype," The man replied. "It hasn't even been tested."

"It's gonna be." Wildwing replied as he climbed inside.

Shaz soon got in the back seat.

"Can he really fly that thing?!" The man cried out as Wildwing started the jet.

"Relax, ghomba, there's nothing you can't tell a duck about flying!" Duke told him.

Wildwing and Shaz soon took off on the jet. The radar came off and crashed down.

"Sorry!" Wildwing and Shaz called out as they flew off together.

They began to catch up to the rocket. The rocket soon seemed to go out of control.

"Nosedive, what did you do now?" Shaz sighed and shook his head.

They soon saw Nosedive and Tanya jumping out.

"Get them!" Shaz told Wildwing.


Wildwing soon dived the jet down. Tanya and Nosedive soon jumped out of the rocket as they had no choice and they both screamed, fearing for their lives. Luckily for them, Wildwing soon saved them in time as they narrowly missed the water. Once they landed in the jet, Tanya glared at Nosedive. Nosedive smiled and waved nervously to her.

"Don't you ever pull a stunt like that again!" Tanya growled as she gripped his collar and waved her finger.

"I agree, never try something like that again, Nosedive." Shaz nodded.

"Ah, don't knock it, it worked!" Nosedive replied.

"Just don't do it." Shaz scolded.

"Hang on, guys, we're going home!" Wildwing told them.

They soon turned the jet around and headed back.

"Well, now that you understand what a menace those goons are, you won't fall for publicity stunts." Wildwing told his manager.

"Come on, come on, what're you talking about?!" Phil replied, taking out a tiny book. "I got all this stuff lined up! You're gonna be Grand Marshals in the sewer workers offering, your own exercise video: Wings of Steel, judges on a Celebrity Duck Hunt!"

Shaz soon pushed him into the closet which closed after Phil was pushed in.

"Well, scratch that one..." Phil said, realizing how the last one sounded and he soon noticed where he was. "Hey! Hey, let me outta here!"

"I think he needs a time-out." Lauren told the Mighty Ducks.

"Agreed." The Mighty Ducks nodded.


"Hey! Come on, guys!" Phil frowned as he tried to get out until his phone rang. "Hello?"

'Roast Duck.' Wraith's voice told him.

"That doesn't work anymore!" Phil complained.

'I know, I'm ordering take-out.' Wraith replied.

"Sounds like Phil is about to talk Wraith's ear off." Shaz smirked.

"I think that's a fair punishment." Lauren smirked back.

They soon left Phil alone to take his order. Wraith soon seemed to regret this phone call as they all left while the two talked on the phone until Wraith had enough.
