Siege planted a bomb at the base of the abandoned building while Charyus, Wraith and the drones kept look out.

"Are you sure this salerinite bomb works like you said?", Charyus asked skeptically.

"Just keep look an eye out.", Siege answered, "Those ducks will be here any minute."

As if on cue, the Migrator came around the corner and the drones opened fire while Charyus and Wraith hurled magic. The Migrator dodged them and parked not far away as the ducks came out. Canard and Charyus eyes locked on each other and Canard's narrowed.

"It's been a while my old foe.", Charyus stated, "You've gotten stronger last we met."

Canard's fist flared with aura.

"Don't think I'm going to let you claim what isn't yours.", he said firmly, "Your spells can't compare to me."

Charyus smiled.

"Really?"

He hit the ground with his staff and fire erupted cutting the ducks off.

"Mallory, can you douse the flames?", Wildwing asked.

"On it.", she answered as a wave of water did so.

By now Siege had set the bomb and started the time limit. Charyus felt Siege,Wraith and the drones teleport away and waved his hand.

"We'll finish this another time."

Canard fired an aura blast which Charyus tried dodging, only to have it graze his pendent and cause a small crack on the emerald there. Charyus clenched as he warped away looking as if he was having a heart attack.

"Did you see that?", Nosedive asked.

By then the bomb went off and the building melted. Tanya came forward and got a sample with her omnitool.

"It's salerinite.", she reported.

Wildwing's eyes narrowed.

"Then that means we have to take out the source."

They headed back to the Migrator and Canard looked concerned.

"You okay?", Wildwing asked him.

"I've been hunting that lizard for as long as I could recall back in Dimensional Limbo and then I finally see him."

Canard paused as he noticed the other ducks looked his way.

"Sorry.", he apologized, "I just have faced his obstacles, but not him in person."

"It's fine.", Wildwing told him as they drove back to the pond, "You'll get him."

"We'll get him.", Canard corrected, "A team captain is only as good as their team."

"Well spoken.", Grin said sagely.

/

At the Pond, Tanya brought up a map of an island on Drake 1.

"Yep, it's Licktenstamp alright.", she confirmed.

Canard raised an eyebrow.

"Wait, isn't that where that psychotic hunter you once told me about lives?"

"Oh yeah.", Duke said rolling his eye, "That's one place I'd love to forget."

At that moment, Phil walked in.

"Hey there's my money merchandising players. I just got word from Klegghorn that Duke's getting-"

He paused when he noticed Duke.

"Never mind."

He went off and the ducks looked each others way.

"Well that went well.", Duke said calmly.

Wildwing then turned to Duke and Tanya.

"Would you two mind staying in case Charyus gets any ideas?"

"Sure thing.", Tanya said, "I'm not going back there again."

Duke nodded.

"We'll keep an eye out."

Nosedive was especially excited.

"We're going on a tropical island?"

Canard held his shoulder.

"This isn't a trip kid. Who knows what could be there? And from what I heard, this Baron isn't going to forget the last time you visited."

That got Nosedive to pipe down. Soon, the five ducks were on the boat and were soon in open waters. Underneath the waves, Poseidon and Priscilla watched with narrowed eyes.

"Looks like our targets are in our domain again sister.", Poseidon said eagerly.

Priscilla nodded as she rubbed a scallop seashell fastened around her neck on a strand of seaweed.

"I look forward to our interaction brother."

At that moment, a bubble formed before them and Charyus' face appeared.

"Are the ducks on their way to Licktenstamp?", he asked.

The Typhos twins nodded and Charyus smiled.

"Excellent. Intercept them before they land, but don't kill them. That honor will be for Baron Von Licktenstamp."

The Typhos twins got angry as Charyus' image vanished and the bubble burst.

"We'll see about that Charyus.", they both answered in unification before swimming after the ducks.

As the duck's boat neared the island. Nosedive stretched out to enjoy the clam air. Everything seemed fine, til Canard tensed.

"What is it?", Mallory asked.

As if the answer her, the waters churned rapidly hitting the sides of the boat hard. Wildwing tried to keep the boat from flipping as Mallory called on her Water spell to try and hold off the waves. Nosedive almost went overboard, but Grin caught him.

"Nice save Grinster.", he said gratefully as Grin pulled him close.

"A player in need is a friend indeed.", Grin answered.

They had just made it closer when seaweed tentacles came up and started flailing.

"It's a Typhos twin attack!", Nosedive screamed.

Wildwing was thrown from the wheel for a second, but Canard got hold of it. As Wildwing got up, he saw Priscilla rise up out of the water and wave in his direction. She then took the scallop shell around her neck and threw it at him. Wildwing fired a puck which shattered the shell, but splashed some pinkish goo into his face which evaporated before he even wiped it off. The scallop reformed in Priscilla's hand and she dove back down.

Mallory had taken enough. She pressed her hands together and a massive wave rose up under the boat and splashed down on the tentacles while placing the duck's boat on the docks that were nearby. As the ducks got out, Wildwing wondered what was splashed on him, but then thought nothing of it.

"Everyone okay?", he asked.

"We're cool.", Grin answered clearly speaking for everyone.

As they walked up the steps, Priscilla watched them with lustful eyes.

"What did you do sister?", Poseidon asked as he surfaced near her.

"Just gave the leader a little taste of our domain brother.", Priscilla answered.

Poseidon eyed the scallop shell. His sister was up to something and he was going to find out what it was.

As the Ducks approached the castle, Canard felt something.

"Enchantium around here?", Nosedive asked him as he noticed Canard tense.

"Yep, there's enchantium on this island.", Canard confirmed.

As they came inside, Canard noticed the multiple animal heads on the wall and felt dread in the aura reading.

"I feel so much suffering in here."

That was when the floor gave way and the ducks slid down a large slide and were outside again.

"Welcome my feathered foes."

The ducks looked to see Charyus floating effortlessly above their heads. They took aim, but Charyus waved his hand and their blasters caught fire causing them to let go.

"That wouldn't be fair would it?"

"How is that cheating?!", Nosedive snapped.

Charyus snapped his claws and the ducks found themselves being separated.

"Enjoy the hunt ducks.", Charyus cackled, "This hunter is just dying to finish this hunt."

All five ducks then found themselves levitated off the ground and hurled in five different directions as Charyus warped away.

Nosedive landed near a sandy beach on a grassy patch and rubbed his forehead.

"Man, that lizard sure has a way with magic.", he muttered.

He tried his com, but he only got static.

"Looks like I have to travel on foot. I'm going to be new at this since I didn't visit like in that one episode last season.", he sighed(breaking the fourth wall as usual).

The night sky was clear and the weather was warm, but Nosedive felt an omen of dread. And that was when mechanical wolves came out and started his way. Nosedive quickly invoked his spell and the book appeared in his hand.

"What to make? What to make? What to make?", he thought trying to not panic and then he snapped his fingers, "I've got it!"

As the wolves got closer, Nosedive quickly scribbled in the book and instantly a puck blaster like the one Charyus fried appeared in his belt.

"I love this spell.", Nosedive said as the book disappeared and he opened fire on the wolves, "Eat this barillium blaze!"

After he shot the wolves apart, the puck blasters vanished.

"Darn.", Nosedive said, "Well at least I'm safe for now. Where to go from here?"

At that moment, something caught his ears. It sounded like faint singing, but who or what was it?

"Where's that sound coming from?", Nosedive wondered as he headed for the beach where the sound seemed to come from.

The sound got a little louder as Nosedive looked around the beach when a glint of light shone near the water. As if he couldn't help himself, the young drake went for it and as he got closer, the sound stopped.

"Okay that was weird.", he said as he looked around, "It stopped."

His eyes fell upon a shinning pearly nautilus shell in the sand. Lifting it up, he saw it was on a gold chain with a silver clasp. Nosedive was entranced by it's beauty and couldn't stop staring for a second before a splash of water on his shoe brought him back to reality.

"Well ain't this a pretty thing.", he said still acknowledging the shell's beauty, "Who would leave something this valuable just sitting in the sand?"

He unclasped the chain and fastened it when he had it around his neck as his own pendent vanished away. He then turned and walked back into the forest to find the other ducks unaware that the shell around his neck was glowing faintly.

Mallory was beside herself.

"How is this hunting?!", she called out.

She had just avoided a barrage of arrows, tripped and almost fell into a spike pit and now she was facing off with a mechanical tiger. The beast leaped for her, but she jumped aside and her pendent came out.

"Sword, I could use some help.", she said.

Instantly the spell materialized and she was more than eager to take a swing with it. She felt a little uneasy since she last used it, but this was no time for inner conflict. She swung at the tiger as it leaped for her again cleaving the mechanical thing cleanly in half.

"Don't mess with Puckworld's finest specialist.", she said before her spell went away.

She then made her way through the jungle when something caught her eye. It was brown feathers and when she got closer, it turned out to be Clyde.

"Clyde Bronzefeather?", she asked in disbelief, "You're supposed to be back on Puckworld."

"I had to come back.", he told her, "I couldn't let you face your enemy alone."

Mallory was feeling uneasy.

"I'm grateful for your help with Falcone.", she said, "But I'm not in the mood for a boyfriend."

Clyde looked surprised.

"Never hurts to try doesn't it?"

Mallory sighed. She didn't recall ever having someone who was willing to admit they cared for her, but then she noticed a pool of water nearby. Her reflection was there, but where was Clyde? She faced him and tensed.

"You're not Clyde.", she said fiercely.

Clyde flinched as Mallory continued.

"If Clyde did care about me, he would've honored his word and waited for me to come back to Puckworld. And that's not you."

Clyde flinched again and slowly he faded like a ghost. Mallory then got a little bit mad.

"Fooling me with an illusion huh?"

She felt a chill in the air and then sheets of ice formed nearby and were spreading towards her. She was about to arm herself when she noticed Grin on top of the ice with a new enchantium(white and dark gray tinged) in his pendent.

"Need a hand?", he asked her.

Mallory took his hand and as she stood beside him, the ice sheet looked more like a patch that melted a little from behind. Grin and Mallory were then heading back all while riding the icy patch Grin had conjured.

Canard hurled the robot gorilla over the edge as he wiped his hands.

"Twas boulders that slew the beast.", he muttered, "I got to find the other ducks before Charyus or this hunter does."

At that moment, an arrow hit the tree beside him. He turned to see a large well fit man wearing safari hunter gear, carrying a crossbow, a metal hand and part of his face was metal too.

"Vell vell, you're pretty good for new prey."

Canard tensed.

"Are you the hunter?"

"The best.", the man responded, "I am Baron Von Licktenstamp."

Canard's fist burst with aura.

"Let's dance Baron."

Baron only pressed a remote and the side of the cliff Canard tossed the gorilla robot opened to reveal a glowing giant worm.

"A new friend of mine said you once faced one of these things and you ended up somevhere else."

Canard faced the worm with narrowed eyes.

"That was before I had something that could finish it."

Canard engaged the worm as Baron took aim.

"Vell, easy vin for-"

He was paused when tentacles wrapped around his crossbow and ripped it from his hand. While he faced whatever that was, Canard was busy avoiding getting grabbed by the worm as he remembered the last time.

"It has to consume some kind of matter.", Canard recalled, "But what?"

He then noticed a rock nearby and as the worm came for him, he hurled it at the worm. As the rock touched the worm, the worm fizzled and shook violently before it finally dispersed and the rock had vanished.

"Well, that was easy."

The sound of painful cries got his attention. He hurried up to where Baron was only to see him shocking what looked like a dweller of Typhos only it had tentacles for legs, crab claws for hands and the head wasn't visible at the moment, but Canard felt something familiar in the creature's aura. Baron was about to shock it again, but noticing Canard, he bailed and ran off. Canard came forward as the creature turned his way. When it did, Canard's heart skipped. The creature had an eel's head with fins along the sides.

"What are you?", Canard asked.

The creature crawled to him as if begging and Canard noticed the Mask of DuCaine in it's tentacles.

"Wildwing?", he asked in shock.

The creature nodded all while unaware that the Typhos twins were watching this from afar.

"Oh goody. My spell worked.", Priscilla said gleefully, "Wildwing makes a fine sea abomination."

Poseidon didn't look thrilled.

"And this is good how?"

Priscilla ignored him.

"Well, time to get him to come out and play."

She swam out to the island, but Poseidon began to grow a little angry.

"She turns a duck into a sea creature and now she's ignoring my concern?", he muttered angrily, "Who does this sister of mine think she is?"
