"Well, here it is.", Wildwing stated as the Migrator pulled into the driveway.

The ducks had parked near a large cabin by a large lake and clearly it looked real nice.

"My inner peace is feeling most serene.", Grin said plainly as the ducks got out.

Nosedive took a whiff of the outdoors air and when he saw the lake, he looked ecstatic.

"Man I can't wait to take a dip in that water!"

Canard held him back before he got too out of hand.

"Hold on there buckaroo.", he said calmly, "We need to unpack first and get living arrangements down."

Phil had recovered from his experience and was himself again.

"See guys, I totally took care of everything."

Duke raised an eyebrow.

"So where do we practice?", he asked skeptically.

Phil looked a little thoughtful for a second, but then lightened up.

"You can practice in the local hockey rink. Now I need to go get my new assistants and get some merchandising going."

He walked over to the Migrator as the ducks got into the cabin. There were about four bedrooms on the upper floor while a kitchen, living room and large table by a fireplace made up the main floor.

"So we're staying in this place?", Mallory asked.

Wildwing sighed.

"Well it ain't the Pond, but it's only for the next two weeks. Let's get our stuff and we can head in to get our practice session in."

As everyone was getting the stuff unloaded, Nosedive took a stroll on the deck and turned the shell pendent in his fingers.

"Wish me luck.", he said to it though he doubted it heard him.

"Nosedive?"

Nosedive tensed, but relaxed when he turned to see his older brother.

"You okay?"

Nosedive smiled.

"Oh yeah, just eager to get our training out of the way."

As he passed, Wildwing noticed his shell pendent and raised an eyebrow.

"Now that's something you don't see every day."

Charyus stood over the large cauldron he conjured and the shelves of ingredients stood nearby, but he was looking concerned.

"I really would like to have my book where I kept my list of enchantium spells. It's going to be hard to recreate them from memory."

Dragaunus and the other saurians watched from afar, but Dragaunus looked impressed.

"I must say you were successful in getting the formula for me Charyus. Now I can make all the Balerium crystals that I want."

"As long as I have a good supply for the enchantium.", Charyus said firmly.

Charyus cracked his knuckles and stood straight.

"Okay, stand back, it's going to get hazardous."

He started moving around the cauldron while ingredients from his shelf started floating and pouring themselves into the bubbling mass inside the cauldron.

"Liver of a shadow cat, fingernails of a dying hag, skin from a fresh moon serpent, and the tongue of rat."

Wraith raised an eyebrow.

"And what is this supposed to do?", he asked.

Charyus didn't answer.

"Add the light of a blood moon and stir until it's settled."

A jar of blood red light was pouring itself and after a bit, it re-corked itself and floated back to it's place on the shelf. The cauldron bubbled and frothed most violently as Charyus stirred it with a large stirring stick. And then the cauldron burst out a thick smoke cloud that filled the room fast. The saurians scrambled outside the room as Siege opened the vents to suck the smoke out. After catching their breath, Dragaunus looked annoyed.

"What happened?"

Charyus dusted himself off and rechecked what he used.

"I must have left something out."

"Then get it.", Dragaunus said as if it was obvious.

Charyus wasn't phased.

"I could if I could remember what it was. I told you it's going to be hard to make enchantium from memory."

As the ducks got out to head into the rink, a large crowd of fans were already there with the paparazzi all eager to see the legendary team going in.

"Wildwing, how does it feel that over a year ago, you're team was like any other and now at the Stanley Cup, does this in anyway unnerve you?"

"Ms. Mallory, is it true that you used to be a special forces officer and now you work with someone you would never dream of working with. Does that bother you in any way?"

"Mr. Duke, as a former thief, how does it feel to be fighting on the other side of the law?"

The questions kept coming, but the ducks had managed to get to the doors and were inside before the pressure got to them.

"Who ordered the paparazzi?", Nosedive asked.

Phil came forward with Thrash and Mookie at his side along with what looked like an official for the NHL.

"Ducks, this is Simon Caldwell. He's going to be hosting the semi finals this Friday."

Simon looked Phil's way after seeing the team were really ducks.

"I must say Phil, you weren't lying on the phone."

He was clearly Canadian by the sound in his voice and he smiled at the team.

"Locker room is down the hall, third door on the right. Have a good practice while Phil and I observe from above with his new...assistants."

Thrash and Mookie didn't look too thrilled.

"Totally bogus man.", Thrash said plainly.

Mookie nodded.

"Major boredom."

Nosedive smiled their way.

"Hey don't worry bout it dudes. After practice, we'll hit a nearby arcade."

With that out of the way, the ducks hit the ice and were already hard at work.

"Block him Duke.", Canard instructed.

Duke, Mallory, and Grin were on offense while everyone else was on defense. Canard managed to get to Wildwing, but his shot was blocked barely.

"Nice save."

After an hour or so, the team got off the ice and were set for spending a day in Vancouver. As they got out, a car pulled up in the lot and the ducks noticed a familiar face step out. Canard looked confused. This was a kid about fifteen years old with blonde hair like Nosedive and wearing glasses, a red vest, shorts and sneakers.

"Who's this?", Canard asked as the stranger came over.

Wildwing stepped forward.

"Canard this is Buzz Blitzman. He might be young, but don't let that fool ya. He helped us with Dragaunus once."

Canard snapped his fingers.

"Oh yeah, he's that genius that Dragaunus was hoping to get a formula from if I remember right."

Buzz noticed Canard and was instantly smitten.

"Is this Canard? The duck you said was in Dimensional Limbo?"

Canard raised an eyebrow.

"What's with him?"

Wildwing rolled his eyes.

"He's a huge fan of us."

After a couple minutes of explaining, Canard was deep in thought.

"So you're saying that while you were on a break from work, someone came up behind you and you blacked out for a minute and when you came to, you couldn't remember a thing?", he asked Buzz.

He nodded.

"Yep, that covers it."

Canard's expression hardened.

"You were probably jumped by-"

"Charyus?", Nosedive guessed.

Canard gave him a concerned look and Buzz looked confused.

"Who's Charyus?", he asked.

"A really really bad guy.", Canard said, "And if he got the formula from you, we're in hot water."

"How could he?", Duke asked, "Buzz here wouldn't give it up easily."

"Didn't have to.", Canard stated, "Charyus uses magic so he probably used some kind of mind spell on Buzz here and extract it from him."

He paused as he noticed the concerned looks on everyone around him.

"Luckily I destroyed his book of enchantments back in Limbo sometime ago and I doubt he has a good memory. It'll take a while for Charyus to get what he needs for his enchantium, but we'd better keep our guard up."

The other ducks agreed.

"Well, I'm hitting the arcade with the dudes.", Nosedive stated as he started walking off.

"I'll keep tabs on my young friend as it would be wise to not be alone.", Grin said sagely.

Canard nodded.

"Yeah, it would be better if we went in groups. Mallory and I will take Buzz in case Charyus is after him again."

Wildwing raised an eyebrow and Canard realized his mistake.

"Of course you have the final say Wing."

Wildwing smiled.

"I was going to say the exact same thing you did. Tanya Duke and I will be group three."

Buzz was on board with this as he would be with Mallory and he was dying to ask Canard about Dimensional Limbo.

Charyus huffed and rubbed his claws together.

"Alright, so my last few attempts blew up in my face. It only makes the discovery all the more rewarding."

Siege and Wraith were standing a good distance away with Dragaunus having his hand on the vent lever.

"This better work Charyus.", he sneered, "Or I'm going to ensure that you suffer greatly."

Charyus shook that comment off.

"Hair of dolphin, jaw of lizard, claws of raven and the eyes of shark."

He dropped the ingredients into the cauldron that bubbled and sparked as they were added.

"Stir in milk of snake with the venom of lion fish and thorn of bramble."

The cauldron fumed and bubbled violently as Charyus raised his hands as if possessed.

"Forces of magic that has existed since the dawn of time, give my spell form so all will know and fear it's might."

The stuff in the cauldron changed color from dark red to gray to orange and then to green and to a poisonous blue. Charyus breathed the fumes and frowned.

"It seems to be missing something."

He thought for a moment and noticed Chameleon walk in with a Balerium crystal in his hand.

"You ready for containment yet?", he asked.

Charyus looked his way.

"I believe so. Care to drop it in please?"

Dragaunus tensed as Chameleon walked over to the cauldron and nervously looked at the stuff boiling and bubbling inside it. After holding it out, he dropped the crystal in and backed away. It was a good thing he did cause the cauldron blew a giant font of colored smoke and sparks that settled after a bit. Charyus moved up to the cauldron with a pair of tongs

"Let's see what we have here."

He reached the tongs inside the stuff and extracted a crystal the same color as the liquid as the stuff in the cauldron returned to it's original white color. Charyus looked content.

"It's finished."

Dragaunus didn't look so thrilled.

"What does it do?", he asked.

Charyus eyed the new gem carefully and he set it on a table nearby and ran a claw on it leaving a tiny drop of something on the tip. He then touched a potted plant that was equally nearby and the plant shriveled as if it was poisoned.

"Does that answer your question?", Wraith asked Dragaunus.

Charyus turned around.

"Now for a field test."

/

The ducks met up at the water treatment plant as Wildwing pulled up the Migrator.

"This were the teleporter energy was detected?", he asked Tanya.

She nodded.

"Yep, it's coming from in there."

The ducks outside were at the door and Wildwing, Duke and Tanya joined them. Duke picked the lock and after Wildwing kicked it open, the ducks rushed in firing at the drones who were there and that opened fire at them. Up in the rafters, Charyus held the new gem in his claws and smiled.

"Have a toxic time ducks.", he purred.

He held the gem outward and blue droplets formed in the air and hovered near it. The ducks noticed this and Wildwing got his shield up as the droplets made contact with his shield and fell away easily.

"Clever Wildwing, but not clever enough.". Charyus said calmly.

The droplets that slid of Wildwing's shield took to the air and assaulted.

"Ow!", Nosedive said as a drop hit his hand, "It's like drops of toxins or something."

Some drops hit and the ducks were feeling it, but Canard was dodging more easily.

"You think a few toxic drops can stop us?", he asked Charyus.

Charyus fired an energy blast that Canard dodged long enough for Charyus to raise a few skeletons only to make the fight more hard. That didn't last cause a crate came rolling off a stack of others and the skeletons got bowled over. Charyus turned to see Buzz sending more debris down to help the ducks and he aimed the gem only to see it's color fade and the gem turned white.

"Darn it.

Siege and Chameleon were opening fire and Wraith looked solemn.

"What happened?"

"Guess this was a temporary spell.", Charyus stated not pleased.

The droplets assaulting the ducks dispersed and the ducks continued assaulting the saurians. Charyus dropped the powerless crystal and crushed it under his foot.

"Darn the luck."

The saurians teleported out and the ducks caught their breath as Buzz came down to their side.

"Thanks for the help.", Wildwing told him.

Buzz noticed the duck's injuries and got out some medical spray.

"Here, I made it a while ago in case you needed some emergency treatment."

After applying Buzz's medical spray, the duck's injuries healed up nicely. Canard looked impressed.

"I have to say Buzz, you're one good person to have around."

Buzz blushed.

"Thanks, just helping the team out."

They all filed into the Migrator and as they drove back to cabin, Canard looked concerned.

"Well it seems the enchantium Charyus made was limited which means he doesn't have the one thing he needed for it to be a permanent spell."

"And what's that?", Nosedive asked.

Canard thought for a minute and Buzz held a piece of paper with a formula on it with directions.

"Is that the other half Dragaunus didn't get?", Tanya asked Buzz.

He nodded.

"I often forget it after a while so I wrote it on this paper in case I did. I wasn't remembering it when I got jumped."

"So if Charyus didn't get the formula, what did he get?", Wildwing asked.

A huge explosion went off somewhere outside Vancouver and the ducks could probably tell what it was. They continued driving to the cabin unaware that the Raptor had teleported away from it's site and returned to it's original place underwater. Inside, Dragaunus was more than just fuming.

"It was off by one millimeter?!", he yelled.

Before Dragaunus could go further, Charyus froze him up.

"Well played ducks.", he sneered as he conjured a bauble that showed the Migrator, "Game on."
