Nosedive looked up at the setting sun and sighed heavily.

"Why?", he asked himself, "Why must it be so hard for us?"

He looked on as the setting sun's last lights fell over the horizon and twilight began to set in. Nosedive took a breath and started to sing.

"Keep singing."

Nosedive jumped although Siren still sounded and he noticed strange light forming in the sky which really made him feel uneasy. He wanted to stop the moment Siren ended, but it only started again from the start.

"Yes. Yes, let me hear it."

The color above formed into the very creature that the ducks faced off against not long ago and the sight of it made Nosedive's nerve freeze. The creature looked at Nosedive with hungering eyes and it's tentacled face ripple fast.

"Give it to me."

Nosedive had now stopped singing and was starting to back away when the ground gave way leading to a vast chasm which made him pause.

"Why do you want this?", he asked holding his throat.

The eyes narrowed as if angered.

"Why you ask? Because it's mine!"

Nosedive instantly woke up in his bed his forehead drenched in sweat and was breathing hard like he had just run a marathon.

"What a nightmare.", he muttered as he noticed Wildwing standing near him.

"You okay?", Wildwing asked, "You look like you've seen death."

Nosedive took a couple deep breaths and calmed down, but his expression looked haunted.

"Just had a nightmare."

Wildwing raised an eyebrow.

"About what?"

Morpha slid across the blanket and cuddled up to Nosedive making the young drake feel better.

"Okay, I had a dream and the color was in it."

Wildwing looked unsure.

"Man that thing must've scared you pretty bad."

The door opened and Canard stood there in his pajama bottoms and looking more than a bit annoyed.

"Wing, can you please explain why your brother keeps waking us up?", he asked.

Wildwing turned to him.

"Dive just had a nightmare with the color in it."

Canard looked alarmed.

"When did this happen?"

"Just recently.", Nosedive answered.

Canard's expression hardened.

"Then there's no time to waste. Tomorrow morning, we're getting up at the crack of dawn to find out what the heck is going on."

The Color reformed itself in the space outside of Earth and it's humanoid formed faintly formed in the aurora that it conjured.

"Oh I just love seeing a helpless creature suffer.", it chuckled to itself, "Now for a little payback for destroying my phantasm image."

It waved a clawed finger and far below, a large pool of oily dark mass formed near a treatment plant and tentacles coiled around the structure bases and tightened. Darkness oozed up over the wood turning it a vile dark color before eyes opened across it causing a couple workers nearby to look with expressions of pure horror before running away screaming. The fish in the water flayed and thrashed as they mutated into humanoid fish monsters with tentacles for arms and started crawling up from the water and on to the dry land.

"And if I know my targets, they'll be arriving any time now.", the Color cackled, "And then I'll be waiting."

At that moment, the Aerowing flew out of the Pond and was heading over. The Color looked into the plane and noticed Nosedive there and pleasure grew in it's bones if it had any.

"Moths to the flame.", it snickered, "Time to observe up close."

It's aurora and form condensed into a ball of unnatural light and hurled towards the location burning through the atmosphere and through the clouds still giving off it's light before hitting the water's surface which exploded and twisted into more large tentacles with claws which slid towards the shore just as the Aerowing came in close. The Color slid under the docks undetected but it could tell Canard could feel it using aura reading, but the drake would be too busy using it to defend against the assault to notice anything.

/

"Now this is what I call insanity.", Duke stated as he drew his saber.

"Mallory, Tanya and I will handle things up here.", Wildwing instructed, "The rest of you get down there and see if you can quell those things."

"We're on it.", Canard said smiling, "Nothing like facing off against a chaos color to kick off the day."

Phil went pale and started for the closet in the back.

"You guys go ahead, I'll just be hiding here.", he said nervously.

Unfortunately Morpha didn't let him get that far and used a tendril to lasso him into the Migrator before it dropped out into the fray. Canard got the Migrator into battle mode and opened fire as the other ducks got out. Grin invoked Force making his gauntlets appear and Duke chose Mirror. Nosedive started to choose Arrow, but then Siren lit up a strange color which caught his eye.

"That's weird.", he muttered, "Why is Siren doing that?"

Phil gripped the passenger's seat next to Canard and wouldn't let go so Morpha took over so Canard could invoke Aura and join the others. As they got out and started to rumble, Nosedive heard something that caught his attention.

"Beware, beware. The one who sings chaos. 'Beware' we heard him sound. The lead drake fell at the home that he knew and he sank beneath the shroud."

Nosedive tried ignoring it, but the singing was accompanied by a faint melody that his ears couldn't block out. Before he knew it, he felt himself being drawn to the edge of the dock and Morpha watched completely spellbound.

"The corpse lined streets of world of ice and snow where ducks have fought and died. The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim had failed because he left their side."

Nosedive was now at the edge of the dock and looking into the dark water as it formed faces of ducks looking decrease and angry before they started singing more profoundly.

"Why this? Why this? Oh singer of chaos? Why this did he forget his own long days? Always the pride of his brother's eye. How could he go astray? When they passed into Dimensional Limbo, the former lead drake knew. What else to sacrifice himself and pray the others flew. But soon they found upon the cosmos void, horrors forming cries. When they did face those colors from below, the young drake stood aside."

Nosedive was beyond perplexed as he saw an image of himself forming in the water only his hair was pitch black and he was wearing a cloak the color as the chaos color he thought the ducks had beaten. He then saw Wildwing and the other ducks laying before him dead as door nails and Wildwing's mask in his hands.

"And buried deep within his heart. Betrayed by free will's choice. To the cosmos with his last breath cried, 'Beware my younger brother's voice!'."

Morpha had come to it's senses and used a couple tendrils to smack Nosedive across the face which brought the young drake back to reality and he saw the water was still and dark like nothing had ever happened. The other ducks came over and they were looking more than concerned.

"What happened?", Canard asked.

Morpha shifted into Nosedive and then looked hypnotized before walking to the water's edge and mimicking the expression Nosedive had earlier.

"I don't know.", Nosedive answered, "I hear singing and I just couldn't stop myself."

"I sense my friend is greatly disturbed.", Grin said sagely.

Canard nodded.

"We better get back to the Pond and see if we can find out what's going on."

/

Back at the Pond, Nosedive was taken aside and still looked pretty haunted. Thrash and Mookie were watching over things when the team came in and they first noticed Nosedive's expression.

"Whoa, what happened to him?", Thrash asked.

"Chaos color.", Canard answered.

"Wait, didn't we kill that thing?", Mookie asked in shock.

"So we thought.", Mallory answered with her hand becoming a fist.

"Hold on Mal.", Duke said, "We first deal with Dive's situation."

Wildwing nodded and turned to Nosedive as Morpha became a therapy sofa and placed Nosedive on it.

"Dive, what happened?", Canard asked.

Nosedive sighed heavily.

"I wanted to use Arrow, but Siren lit up for some reason."

"And then what happened?", Thrash asked.

"I heard singing coming from the water and I couldn't help but go to the edge of the docks and see things I'm not sure are real. Luckily Morpha was around and grabbed me before I slipped into the water."

Canard nodded.

"Yep, that's a chaos color alright. It was trying to consume your mind with doubt and fear. Pretty low, but there it is."

"Okay so how do we kill it now?", Mookie asked.

Before Wildwing could answer, Phil came out looking horrified and white in the face.

"Guys, we got trouble."

"Can it wait?", Wildwing asked.

As if to answer him, the roof blew away to reveal a monstrous aurora overhead and a strong wind whirled around the room as the aurora became humanoid an stood nearby. Morpha shifted into it's dog form and got into a defensive stance growling and it's color points turned red. The Color merely looked it's way and it's eyes started shimmering. At once, Morpha's face turned to one of horror and it froze up on the spot. The Color then looked to Nosedive.

"I trust there will be no further interruption.", it purred.

The ducks tensed, but the Color smiled.

"You can simmer down, I'm not here for a fight. I just came for Siren that's all."

Nosedive backed away fast clutching his throat.

"Um..I'm kind of attached to it.", he said sweating nervously(don't ask me how he's doing this).

The Color's expression didn't let up.

"I know. It's sound summoned me."

"Summoned you?", Duke asked in confusion.

The Color shimmered as it's humanoid form became more solid.

"Yes. I once possessed that enchanted voice. Anyone who dared to listen became..my servant. I went through a very long line of servants until the day I tried snaring the mind of an inter dimensional sorceress. She trapped it within a vessel where it stayed until a few months back when Nosedive here used it on a creature called Baby if I recall correctly."

Nosedive gasped, but Wildwing's face hardened.

"I'd say you overstayed your welcome here Color or whatever your name is."

The Color looked his way and sneered.

"So you want a fight do you?"

It waved a clawed hand in the air and the whole floor was lifted into the air at surprising speed that the ducks were on the floor. It happened for a moment, but now they were hovering above the Pond and the Color had several rifts opened in the sky as it rose up near them.

"So where's the fight?", Mallory asked as the ducks got to their feet.

The Color's expression hardened a rift shimmered and several tentacled amphibian beasts came out and landed on the edge with sickening wet smacks.

"Well, shall we begin?", the Color asked.

/

As the ducks got ready, the whole area became pitch black except for a certain area that surrounded Wildwing's feet. As his eyes adjusted, he reached up to the mask.

"We're too late."

Wildwing paused as he turned and saw Canard with his back turned to him.

"Zeral's machine was prepared."

Wildwing felt his heart pause a moment as Canard turned to him only half his face was skeletal and black runes covered it.

"You made us wait. Told us to focus on Dragaunus."

Wildwing was shocked as Canard advanced on him becoming more and more horrific.

"Canard, I didn't mean to-"

"I trusted you to lead us to victory and you failed.", Canard sneered, "I never should've trusted you at all."

Wildwing's expression hardened.

"No! That's not true!"

He tried to smack Canard across the face, but Canard dissipated like dust in the wind which made the drake pause.

"What the?", he asked.

"I can help child."

Wildwing turned to see himself in front of Charyus who had a glowing paper in his claws.

"In return for your mask, I'll ensure Canard makes it safely here.", Charyus purred while smiling showing off his razor teeth.

"You had a chance. Now take it."

Wildwing walked forward, but that disappeared the moment he did.

"Again?", he asked, "What could-"

Then he felt his anger rise.

"Is this how you fight?!", he called out, "Are you just afraid to come out of that darkness and fight us yourself?!"

"Big bro...why?"

Wildwing turned to see Nosedive holding what looked like Wildwing's body only it was gashed and really battered.

"Why did you do this?", Nosedive sobbed.

Wildwing would've broke by this, but by now he was beyond caring.

"That's not real! Nosedive would never break like that! Canard would never doubt me at all! None of this is real!"

The darkness shook and cracks of light appeared.

"You're nothing Color!", he yelled.

And then the darkness broke making the drake close his eyes as the light nearly blinded him.

/

Wildwing's eyes fluttered open to see that he was in the infirmary with the other ducks around him.

"Nice to see you're okay Sleeping Beauty.", Duke said smiling.

Wildwing looked unsure.

"The Color?"

"Gone, but it'll be back the coward.", Canard answered, "I managed to break out of that mental prison before his creeps could get to you all."

Nosedive clutched his throat. Mookie placed a clipboard on a table nearby and dusted her hands.

"Not bad for my first treatment of a team member huh?"

"I'd say you passed with flying colors.", Tanya said proudly.

The ducks heard whimpering and they turned to see Phil cradling himself on the floor with a look of horror and shaking.

"I didn't mean to put that guy away.", he said weakly, "I was just doing my job."

"Is he okay?", Thrash asked.

Mallory went over and tapped Phil on the shoulder. Phil jumped up and after looking around took a breath and looked okay again.

"Whew, glad that experience is over."

And then he fainted and fell to the floor.

"Yep, classic Phil.", Wildwing said smiling, "Hard to believe that Dive's spell was once someone else's."

Nosedive looked annoyed.

"Hey, how was I supposed to know back in our second season that this sound would call forth a color of pure chaos in our third season?", he asked(breaking the fourth wall as usual).

"Well hopefully that color will not be showing up any time soon.", Tanya said.

Thrash and Mookie looked thrilled.

"Geez, getting a look at corrupted memories of your past and future sounds extreme.", Thrash said.

"Careful what you ask.", Canard said smiling, "The Color might hear you. Besides, don't we have a game to practice for?"

That got the duck's attention. Morpha had recovered from it's frozen stated and looked around confused as it's color points turned gray as the ducks went by with Phil, Thrash and Mookie bringing up the rear.

"Hey, what'd I miss?", Morpha asked as it's head shifted into a version of Phil's and it caught up.

Phil looked annoyed.

"Will you stop imitating me?", he asked as the elevator doors closed behind Morpha.

Morpha looked up at him and smiled.

"Nope.", it answered still matching Phil's voice.

And the ducks(excluding Phil) laughed out loud as the elevator rose to the repaired hockey rink above.
