Duck didn't know where he was. He wasn't even sure if he was still alive. Not that he was sure he wanted to know. Suddenly, he was shaken awake by someone.
"C'mon, Duck! Do you want to get fired from another job?" he heard Jem say.
"Huh?" He opened his eyes and in the front seat of a red harley was Jem, with red hair. She was looking at him playfully from behind her sunglasses.
"Of all the places to fall asleep Quackers, behind the wheel? Defiantly, not the smartest." she said. Duck blinked, trying to remember where he was. After a few seconds he remembered that he needed a ride to his pool job and since Jem refused to drive him, he drove them both, so she could take the car afterwards.
"You don't look too worried!" Duck smirked.
"That's because you do everything better with your eyes closed." she replied. "Maybe if you did your job with your eyes closed you'd finally make life guard!"
"Oh, shut up!" Duck snapped. "Just wait, someday I'll be so great at something, you won't be able to boss me around!"
"You mean besides boring me to sleep?" Jem laughed. "Now, if you don't get out, I'll toss you out."
"I'm going, I'm going!" Duck sighed as he climbed out of the car. "Ya goin' ta miss me, babe?"
"Like my period!" she laughed as she climbed into the driver's seat. "By the way, I need to see someone about a certain jewel that's coming today! So tonight, you find another way home." At this, Duck gave a irritated groan.
"You'll do anything with legs, won't you?"
"Well, I did you, didn't I?" she retorted. "Is there any particular reason I shouldn't?" she asked, with a slight curiosity.
"Besides sexual diseases? No, none at all!" Duck huffed as he folded his arms.
"I see..." Jem said, slightly annoyed for some reason. "Then I shall see you tomorrow, slave!" With that she sped off, splashing Duck with mud as she did.
"Hey!" he yelled after her. "Dammit! A girl like that should come with a manul so you can smack her with it!"
'What exactly does she want me to say when she says stuff like that?' he wondered as he wiped the mud off of him. 'What does she want from me?'

Duck let out a loud groan as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Ugh... Where am I?" he wondered as he was blinded by a bright room. He tried to push himself up, but his chest gave a painful throb.
"Ugh!"
'What happened?' then came folding back to him; His search for Spectra, C-4 telling him about his father, him losing control of his body, Jem...
"Dammit!" Duck yelled as he remembered, thrashing violently. "Dammit, dammit!" The door slid open and the loonatics all ran in, with someone Duck had not seen for a long time.
"Duck?" Zadavia gasped worriedly when she saw his violent thrashing.
"Duck!" Lexi yelled as well. But Duck paid no attention toto ether of them.
"Dammit, dammit! Dammit, dammit!" he kept yelling, hitting anything he could.
"Duck!" Ace yelled as he and Rev tried to pin him down. "Calm down! Everything's okay now!"
"No it's not! It's not alright!" Duck yelled as he broke from their grip and fell to the ploished marble floor. "It's never going to be alright again!" Then glaring at the floor he yelled, "Why did you trust her? I told you not to! I told you she was a evil, lying, spoiled brat! I told you so why didn't you listen? If you had just trusted me...!" Duck trailed off as his voice broke. He didn't have the strength or will to look them in the eyes, not right now. Not when they were looking at him with pity. Everyone stared at Duck sadly while Ace looked away, feeling guiltier than he would ever feel in his whole life.
"I... I'm sorry, Duck." he said quietly. "I'm sorry." Duck slammed his fist into the floor.
"Dammit...!"

Later, everyone decided to fill Duck on what had happened. After Kala Mity and the Carvians had attacked them, they vanished and eventually the Loonatics all managed to find the Mars ship, where they met up. After flying around in space for awhile they had managed to find Freelong, where Optimitus and Zadavia had immediately lent their aid. While Duck had been healing, the Loonatics told them about Duck being the Prince of Mars, Kala Mity and how she had betrayed them all.
"So... you have no idea what happened to Jem?" Duck asked. Tech shook his head.
"Nope, she and her snakes vanished while we were losing blood." he said.
"I'm more worried about Spectra," Zadavia said.
"Yeah, what's the story on that place anyway?" Ace asked, seriously. Any playful tone he had in the past seemed to have vanished now was replace with a stern one. "And why is it so important to Kala Mity?" Tech stepped forward.
"It's a giant jewel! And considering how greedy Princess is, it's no wonder she would want it. But I still figure out how it could have such a cosmic effect on the universe." he said. To his surprise it was Optimitus who replied.
"Spectra is the diamond planet and possibly the most powerful planet in the universe. All the light in the universe comes from it," he explained. "Without it, the sun, the moon, the stars, none of it can shine. Therefore, there is no light in the whole universe."
"And with out any light, the universe will quickly perish except for a few planets that thrive on darkness." Zadavia finished.
"And it's all because of me!" Ace growled as he clenched his fist. "All because once again I trusted the wrong person!" Lexi put a hand on his shoulder.
"Ace, you can't blame yourself!" she said. "Kala had us all fooled."
"But I'm the leader! I should have known better, especially after what happened with Duce." he said. "Now the universe is doomed!" Zadavia walked forward.
"We all make mistakes, Ace." she said. "What's important is that we acknowledge them and try to fix them."
"How do we do that?" he asked. By now Duck would have jumped in, but for reason he was too tired.
"Quackers!"
"Gimme that!"
"Slave!"
"I got what matters! The goods and the knowledge to use them!"
"Marry you? Sure, why not?"
"Figure it out, dumb duck!"
"You never looked for me! If you did, then maybe... Maybe things would have been different!"
"When I actually needed you, you never came! You were too busy playing hero! And now... It's too late!"
"We find her." Duck suddenly said.
"Huh?" everyone said as they looked at him.
"We find her," Duck repeated as he forced himself to stand. "And we make her fix this! It's time we show her that just because she's sexy, she can't get away with everything!"
"How do we do that?" Lexi asked.
"We kick her ass!"
"I think she meant how do we find her?" Tech said.
"Yeah!-We-can't-just-call-her-up-and-ask-where-she-is." Rev added. "Though-that-would-make-things-easier!"
"Can't we just go to Carvia?" Ace asked.
"It won't be easy," Zadavia said. "The planet is very well guarded."
"Leave that to me!" Duck winked. Then he turned away from them.
'Before I kick her ass, I gotta find out what she meant,' he thought as he pulled out his lucky coin.

"Wow! Look at the neat rings!" a five year old Jem said as she looked at a cracker jack machine. Though she was a kid, she wore a lot of make up. (To this day, Duck never figured out what she really looks like.) "I want one! Pinkster! Gimmie a quarter!"
"Huh?"
"I wanna ring!" Jem huffed. "Now gimmie a quarter!"
"Hmph! Why don't you just go show your cute face to a old man and get him to give the money?" a five year Duck asked.
"Because I have my slaves to pay for every thing! Now gimmie!" Reluctantly, Pinkster obeyed, but instead of getting the ring she wanted, she got two sided coin with a duck on each side. "Heey! I've been ripped!"
"C-c-co-co-Actually, I was ripped!" Pinkster huffed.
"Rats!" Jem whined. Then with a huff, she threw it over her shoulder at Duck. "Heads up!"
"Huh?" he said surprised. "What gives?"
"Nothing! I don't want it and it has a duck, therefore it's yours!" Jem said as she started to walk away. "Consider it a birthday gift from me and Pinky! By the way, when is your B-day?"
"I dunno."
"Well figure it out already! Not knowing your b-day is pathetic!"
"How do you expect me to find out? I'm not a genie, no matter how cute I am!" Duck puffed.
"Ugh! Fine! If you're gonna make such a big deal, then today is your b-day!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I said so! Now buy us some cake!"
"Hey! It's suppose to be the other why around!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Where do you get that logic?"
"Because I said so!"
"Ugh! You're despicable!"

'She was always mean, but not destroy the world mean! I gotta find out what made her snap, or it's gonna bug me forever!' Duck then looked out the window into the dark sky. 'Just wait, Jemmy! I'm coming home to get my share of your riches.'

Meanwhile, on a planet in the far depths of space was a large violet planet with four rings. On this planet was a large, dark metallic palace that looked like a dark fortress, surrounded by dark clouds. In this castle was ruled a princess, who was fair and beautiful as a freshly bloomed rose, but her heart was as dark as the cold depths of space.
"No one tells me what I can do!" Kala Mity cried as she stomped her heel on the ruby floor beneath her. "Especially you!"
"My lady, pleasssse!" her advisor begged. "I beg you to listen! If you do thissss-"
"I can have whatever I want!" she said stubbornly. "And I want that diamond! The most wonderful jewel in all the universe."
"Let me try to explain this once again, your highnesssss." the advisor said desperately. "If anything should happen to that precioussss gem-"
"I don't want to listen to you anymore!" With that the princess snapped her fingers and through the doors two large Carvians appeared and started towards the advisor. Desperate, he tried to reason with her again.
"If you do thissss, you'll desssstroy everyone!" Ignoring his pleas, the princess ordered,
"Take him away!"
"You'll destroy yourself!" The carvians came closer and in a desperate attempt, he pulled out a laser gun to shoot the princess, but before he could attack Jem suddenly appeared in front of him and with her bare hand caught his face and within one moment he became a surrounded by a bright light. When the light was gone, all that was in her hand was a small crystal. With a slight smirk she tossed the crystal to her guards who took it away to throw it in the treasure room filled with other crystals that once had a beating heart and flesh. With the minor annoyance handled, the princess slipped her glove on and walked back to her throne. There she lifted a emerald onto her lap and began to stroke it like cat.
"No one is going to stop me." she hissed as her bright eyes glowed.
'Not him, not the Loonatics... And defiantly, not Duck!' she thought. In her emerald she could see her reflection. She frowned at it as she clutched the gem.
"If I cannot be loved..." she whispered.
"No one will!" Another voice, deep, deep within the palace walls, unseen by all, growled.
