"On the road again.", Nosedive sang cheerfully, "I can't wait to get on the road again."

Wildwing smiled and rolled his eyes as he finished zipping up his suitcase. Now that the Stanley Cup was over, the ducks were heading back to Anaheim as soon as they had packed up everything. Morpha was chasing his tail a bit and then he looked withered.

"How could I forget.", Nosedive smiled.

He held out a glass of water and Morpha extended a tendril that absorbed the water in the glass. After that, Morpha looked much better.

"Okay Dive, time to get our stuff into the Migrator.", Wildwing said as he hoisted his suitcase off his bed, "We got road to cover."

A while later, everyone had gotten into the Migrator and were hitting the road.

"Man it's going to be good to be back in Anaheim.", Duke sighed.

"Yeah, but this was a good two weeks.", Tanya put in.

"Time spent with friends is time well spent.", Grin added sagely.

Nosedive was especially excited.

"To Anaheim. Anaheim to where we reside. Home again, home again where it is fine."

Canard couldn't help but laugh.

"Nice tune Dive."

Nosedive blushed.

"Thanks, just made it up."

Everything seemed to go fine, until something hit the Migrator and made it swerve to the side.

"What was that?", Mallory asked.

Tanya quickly checked the radar.

"We got company!", she screamed.

Wildwing shifted the Migrator into battle mode as he noticed large attack drones flying in from the clouds overhead. Canard's expression hardened.

"Don't these lizards ever get the fact that they can't beat us?", he muttered.

Morpha ducked under Nosedive's chair whimpering and shivering as it's blue coloring turned black which stood for fear.

Charyus focused and after a bit, he stumbled back.

"Having trouble are we?"

Charyus turned to see Wraith nearby looking interested and gloomy.

"Just haven't tried taking my wards down in a while.", Charyus answered, "But they will be down momentarily."

Wraith then took a breath.

"So what was that spell you had Chameleon place in Anaheim?", he asked wanting to know.

Charyus dusted off his shoulder.

"Oh just a little distraction while I work on my special gift for them."

"And what pray tell is that?"

Wraith and Charyus turned to see Dragaunus walk in wearing his usual sneer.

"Basically something that will swing this fight in our favor my lord.", Charyus answered.

Dragaunus didn't look convinced.

"You've been trying to create the one enchantium you promised me would finish off the ducks and so far you've only been able to produce enchantium that dies out after a certain time limit."

"A minor setback.", Charyus said in turn, "I just need to find that one ingredient that will stabilize the magical matrix inside each enchantium crystal which happens to be in the Saurian Lexicon that I'm trying to obtain."

Dragaunus raised an eyebrow.

"I take it that's the book you're after?"

Charyus smiled.

"Precisely."

Dragaunus pulled out a ray gun from behind him.

"Allow me to show you real results."

Charyus looked at Dragaunus confused.

"The DNA Accelerator?", he asked, "And what do you plan to do with that?"

Dragaunus smiled this time.

"I'll show you if you can conjure some undead and fire."

Charyus then looked concerned.

"And why is it you wish me to do so?"

"Just do it.", Dragaunus answered.

Charyus shook his head, but he invoked the Fire and Raise Dead spells he had on his staff as Dragaunus aimed the DNA Accelerator at where the spells were taking form.

The ducks settled into the Migrator bunks while Phil took over the wheel with thrash and Mookie assisting him. They would be back in Anaheim by morning and the ducks were hoping to get some shut eye.

"Can you believe it?", Nosedive asked.

"Believe what?", Mallory asked, "The fact we won the Stanley Cup or the fact Dragaunus and Charyus are still after us?"

"Hey settle down.", Wildwing said calmly, "We'll be able to handle them after we get some sleep."

"And now that Hockey season is over, we can probably search for more enchantium in the meantime.", Duke put in.

Grin nodded.

"Our enemy may be great, but our combined strength will rival it."

Canard smiled.

"Seems like only yesterday we were taking Dragaunus down on Puckworld and now we just won the trophy that signifies us as the best Hockey team in the world."

"Hey, we did a lot more in this season than our last one.", Nosedive said(breaking the fourth wall as usual).

"Okay ducks.", Wildwing said cheerfully, "Time to hit the hay."

Tanya and Mallory took one set of bunks, Grin was in his meditative pose, Duke and Canard took another leaving Wildwing and Nosedive with the last one. Morpha extended a couple tendrils and hoisted itself to Nosedive's bunk and settled on Nosedive's chest. Wildwing set the mask aside as he looked up at the roof of the Migrator.

"Yep, we've gone so far and done so much since we got here over a year ago.", he thought to himself still thinking of what Canard and Nosedive said earlier, "Yet through it all, I felt like we were a real team both on and off the ice."

He recalled the one time he had thought Canard had come back from Dimensional Limbo. He was so thrilled to see his old friend again that he didn't stop to think or reason. When it was revealed to be the Chameleon, he was devastated. He wanted to quit, but reconsidered it. And it was a good thing he did otherwise the other ducks would've been finished for sure.

"Whatever Lizard Lips throws at us, we'll be ready for it.", he thought to himself.

Wildwing could feel his eyelids growing heavy and soon, he was sound asleep.

Wildwing's eyes fluttered open as he noticed he was back in the duck's HQ.

"When did we get here?", he wondered.

He lifted his hand and froze. His hand had five fingers was flesh colored and no feathers. He lifted his other hand and it looked the same as his other.

"What the puck?", he asked in horror.

He tried to get out of bed only to tumble out and land on the floor. Luckily he landed by a reflective surface and what he saw staring back at him was a middle aged man with white hair and the same height as him. Wildwing screamed out loud.

"Bro, what's going...on?"

Wildwing looked up to see Nosedive awake. Only Nosedive looked like an eighteen year old boy though his hair remained the same, the rest of him was human. Nosedive noticed Wildwing and his eyes went wide.

"Wing?", he asked, "What happened?"

They heard screaming coming from the hall outside and when they got out, the other ducks were there and in human form also although their clothes and hair remained the same. After everyone settled down a bit, they got talking.

"Man. Look at us.", Nosedive said still a little shaken, "We're..people."

"But how did it happen?", Mallory asked, "We were in the Migrator."

Wildwing shook his head.

"I don't know, but we better get to the infirmary so we can find out what happened to us."

"This has got Charyus' doing written all over it.", Canard said as they headed to the infirmary.

/

After scanning everyone, Tanya went over the data and looked confused.

"This doesn't make sense.", she muttered.

"What doesn't?", Wildwing asked.

Tanya showed the results and the ducks examined it.

"So Charyus made us one hundred percent human somehow.", Duke concluded.

"That would appear to be the case.", Canard answered, "But I should have been able to detect anything coming toward us back in the Migrator with my aura."

"So why didn't you?", Nosedive asked.

Canard shook his head.

"I don't know. Maybe it doesn't work while I'm sleeping."

Wildwing stood firm.

"We have to find out how this happened and put a stop to it.", he said firmly, "We may not be ducks, but we still have our skill and we need to find the enchantium doing this and take it out."

"What makes you think it's that?", Mallory asked.

"Only cause it's the main reason that this season revolves around?", Nosedive guessed(breaking the fourth wall again).

Wildwing's eyes narrowed.

"We need to find out how Charyus did this and end it. Tanya, can you stay behind with Grin to try and find the source?"

"I'm on it.", Tanya stated as she and Grin headed off to Drake 1.

The remaining ducks filed into the hanger to find the Migrator still there to their relief, but when they got out into the streets of Anaheim, they were greeted by what looked like Anaheim in another Ice Age.

"Wow, this sure brought back the time those space monkeys came.", Mallory said.

Canard raised an eyebrow.

"Space monkeys?", he asked.

"We fought them before you came back.", Wildwing explained, "Dragaunus was trying to use solar energy to power the Raptor, but then these space monkeys showed up and tried using a weather machine to freeze the planet. We managed to cut them off, and haven't seen them since they left."

Canard rubbed the stubble on his face as he looked thoughtful.

"I just hope Phil, Thrash and Mookie are alright."

/

Phil strained against the magical binding circle that bound him, Thrash and Mookie together as they were levitated off the ground and hung there.

"Struggle all you like mortals, those bindings won't fade unless I will it."

They turned to see a transparent humanoid being with tentacles forming at it's shoulders, a gust of transparent wind from the waist down keeping itself afloat, blank eyes and sharp nails. It didn't have a mouth, but they could hear it in their minds which ment it used telepathy.

"Who the heck are you?", Phil asked.

"Introductions? I suppose", the entity answered, "I am Chroma, bender of space and traveler of time. I've been called forth from Dimensional Limbo to ensure you don't intervene."

Chroma looked over his captives and raised a transparent eyebrow.

"Wasn't there a dog with you?", he asked.

Thrash and Mookie held their nerve.

"As if we'd tell you.", Thrash said defiantly.

Chroma looked his way.

"Are you all aware that at this very moment, I could catapult you into the furthest reaches of-"

Chroma didn't get to finish because someone interrupted the conversation.

"Must you be so dramatic Chroma?"

Chroma quickly froze his hostages before turning to see Charyus' image materialize nearby.

"Charyus, I must say that your binding spell you lent me worked wonders."

"And the flash spell to give you the upper hand?", Charyus asked raising his own eyebrow, "Our terms were that if I provide you an escape from the Caverns of Time, you'd serve me when ever I called on you without question."

"And I have done so.", Chroma answered in turn, "Unfortunately I seem to have missed a target and-"

"You missed one?!", Charyus sneered causing Chroma to flinch, "Do you realize what could happen if the one you missed found the enchantium I used to trap the ducks?!"

Chroma thought Charyus would really let him have it, but then Charyus smiled.

"Actually, this could work. Find the one you missed Chroma and I might forget I snapped at you."

Chroma felt better but then looked concerned.

"Um, who's going to watch our captives while I'm gone?"

Charyus didn't look worried.

"Why bother? They're not going anywhere."

/

Morpha dashed down the empty street looking quite distressed. It had jumped out of the Migrator as a weird light was forming outside when it got up and sniffed something. There was something wrong here and it wanted to find Nosedive and fast. It had a drink of water from a nearby water fountain so it was good for the day. It heard the Migrator nearby and after turning a corner, it found it along with several people that dressed very familiar to it fighting off a bunch of burning skeletons and living flames.

"Every time we cut these flames they multiply.", One of them who sounded like Duke huffed as he was feeling the heat.

Morpha had to think fast. It saw a fire hydrant nearby and quickly shifted itself into a large hammer and hit it aside bathing the street in a shower of water. The flames screeched in pain as they died away and after dispatching the skeletons, Morpha found itself in front of someone that looked a lot like Nosedive except it was human. Morpha sniffed the boots of this stranger and it's color changed to yellow. It was Nosedive which ment these were the ducks alright. Nosedive petted his head as the others came over.

"Where'd he come from?", Wildwing ask.

Morpha looked at Nosedive as it's coloring turned to it's usual light blue and it looked confused. It shifted into a mini version of Wildwing and then shifted into a mini version of what Wildwing looked like now and then into a question mark.

"It's a long story boy.", Nosedive told him.

Mallory looked confused.

"How do you know it's a boy?", she asked him, "Aren't amoebas genderless?"

Nosedive shrugged.

"Well, it's better than calling him 'it' right?"

/

Chroma warped in only to find his captives had escaped somehow.

"Oh darn, I should have remembered.", he muttered to himself, "My space trap fades if I'm not around to refresh the duration."

"So it seems."

Chroma turned to see Charyus' image again.

"This is what I get for hiring people who are not very bright, but this I can work with."

Chroma raised an eyebrow.

"How so? Our captives will be in Anaheim."

Charyus smiled.

"Then I suggest you get moving and find them before they find the ducks."

As Chroma warped away, Charyus conjured a bauble that showed the Migrator driving along.

"So now you've noticed what it's like.", he purred, "Humans aren't fond of the cold climate that you ducks are used to back home, and soon, I'll possess enough power to not only suppress you, but also enslave you."

His bauble showed Chameleon's face.

"Chroma has failed to detain our captive audience.", Charyus reported, "Chameleon, I need you to get into Anaheim and make sure Chroma doesn't let me down if you please."

"Anything you say Charyus.", Chameleon said cheerfully, "I'm on it."

The bauble vanished and Charyus sighed.

"Okay, so the captive situation burned out, but original idea still on track. What to do to keep the odds in my favor?"

Then an idea came to mind.

"Of course. That will work and if I know that spell, it will make sure those feathered thorns in my side become less effective against me."

Charyus warped back to the Raptor only to be greeted by Dragaunus.

"I trust that space wielding entity you called upon is doing his part?", he asked harshly as his nostrils smoked.

"To the best of his ability my lord.", Charyus reported, "But right now I got a spell to prepare that will ensure our problem will be solved."

Dragaunus raised an eyebrow.

"It better work or I'll shred your scales."
