"You know, I kind of like these days off.", Wildwing said as he lay on his towel on the sand soaking some rays.

The ducks were taking a day off and enjoying some beach time. Nosedive was out wind surfing, Grin was meditating, Duke and Canard were playing Mallory and Tanya at volleyball, and Morpha was beside Wildwing in the shade while Wildwing was in the sunlight with his sunglasses blocking out most of the light. He was about to put on another coat of sunscreen when a splash of water made him jump.

"Okay, who threw that?", he asked firmly.

He noticed Nosedive near the water clearly done with wind surfing looking like he knew nothing, but Wildwing could see one of his palms was wet and that was all he needed to see.

"You are so going to get it Dive."

Nosedive was clearly up for the chase as Wildwing did so. The volleyball game had paused so both teams could get a breather and enjoy a water break. Mallory used her Water spell to refill everyone's water bottles as Canard noticed Wildwing and Nosedive playing nearby. The chase ended, but by now Wildwing was too worn out from all the running so he was tickling his younger brother while making sure he couldn't break out of the hold.

"Oh Wing, what did you do to deserve someone like Dive?", he muttered while comically rolling his eyes.

Morpha had decided that it had gone long enough so it brought out a couple tendrils and was about to break it up, but noticed that they already did and it retracted.

"Yep, some things never change.", Duke said as he had noticed what Canard was looking at.

The sounds of screaming came from up the beach and the ducks all tensed.

"All right ducks, move out!", Wildwing called out.

The ducks shifted into their battle gear and were heading up the beach to find that some of the tourists were being sucked into whirlpools that formed in the sand. Canard's eyes narrowed.

"I'm picking something up around here."

Wildwing scanned around with the Mask as well.

"So am I. It's definitely enchantium. Mallory, see if you can use water to soften up the sand, Grin, see if you can help. Tanya, you take Duke and Nosedive and see if you can help get people to safety. Canard and I will see if we can find the enchantium."

/

While the other ducks did their jobs, Canard and Wildwing centered on the middle sinkhole that seemed to be the largest and growing.

"It's in the center of that one.", Wildwing said.

Canard nodded.

"I'll see if I can get it out."

He held out his hand and his aura surrounded it as his eyes glowed the same way. Almost immediately an enormous worm burst from the sands. Of course this was no ordinary worm cause it had large eyes on stalks, a large mouth with several rows of serrated teeth with a light brown crystal right on it's forehead at the base of the stalks. It turned to the two ducks and roared loudly.

"We got it's attention now.", Canard said with his eyes narrowing.

And the worm split down the middle and then two worms stood with one still having the enchantium on it's head and they continued to split into more. By now the other ducks were done and had noticed.

"That worm, is turning into more worms!", Nosedive yelled rather loudly.

The worm had split into several others and had now burrowed into the ground closing the sand behind them. The ducks regrouped and kept an eye out.

"Great, now we are facing about seven giant worms that can make giant sinkholes in the sand.", Mallory grumbled.

Grin remained tranquil.

"The sand shifts, but it will be slowed when water meets it."

Wildwing brightened.

"Grin, you and Mallory see if you can cool this beach off and make them surface."

Grin invoked Freeze while Mallory invoked Water. Soon the sands were covered with large slabs of ice with large spouts of water flooding over the cracks. The ground rumbled and the sands shifted. Although slowly, they still did and a couple giant worms burst through the surface. Nosedive fired several shots from his Arrow spell while Duke invoked Smoke to cover the ducks making a break. The worm's mouths opened to fire shots of sand at the ducks which Wildwing tried deflecting with Shield. Tanya invoked Storm to try and and blow some shots away with some cyclones while Canard felt something below.

"Hey ducks, here they come!", he called out.

The other five worms burst from the sands and looked pretty mad. Duke lassoed one of the worms and was riding it as it tried to throw him off.

"Eat blade worm!", he called as he brought out his saber.

With a swift cleave, he sliced through the worm which dissolved into dust and reformed as he landed. Mallory and Grin aimed their spells at the worms who tried to dive down, but Grin had froze the ground so they hit it pretty hard. With the worms dazed, Canard found the one that had the crystal and with a well aimed shot, fired an aura blast that not only blew the worm's head apart, but made the crystal fall towards him. As he caught it in his hand, the worms around him dissolved into sand and the crystal vanished only to reform beside his Aura and Thunder spells.

"Well Canard, you got a Sand spell.", Wildwing said with a smile.

Canard looked around and noticed the other ducks(excluding Wildwing) huffing as the beach returned to normal.

"So, who's up for relaxing?"

/

Dragaunus was beside himself.

"They...beat the sand worms?!", he screamed as his nostrils billowed smoke.

Charyus was a little more at ease.

"I told you that this would spell your own undoing."

Dragaunus only seemed to get angrier.

I infuse a common garden worm with the ability to multiply and regenerate, I find an enchantium crystal, and those ducks still prevail!"

He aimed at a drone passing by and blew it apart. Charyus sighed.

"While you were busy digging yourself into a hole, I did a little investigation of my own."

Dragaunus looked his way with his nostrils still smoking.

"I'm listening.", he growled.

Charyus was unmoved.

"The components I require for my Anti-Magic spell are hard to come by, but your followers aren't the most up to date."

Dragaunus' expression hardened.

"I don't recall your help being very helpful either."

Charyus took a breath.

"We're learning more about our enemy my lord. And knowledge is power as these miserable Earth dwellers claim."

Dragaunus tried pulling himself together.

"Tell me something I don't know.", he said firmly.

Charyus smiled.

"Your little worms were interesting, but I can do better."

Dragaunus didn't look so sure.

"And those ducks will prevail as they did over mine."

Charyus looked Dragaunus right in the eye.

"That's cause your worms didn't have a plan, but I do. Prepare another batch of worms."

Dragaunus' expression hardened again.

"I don't take orders from-"

Charyus waved his claw and Dragaunus froze again. He then left the saurian lord where he was and headed out the room.

"Enjoy your little victory ducks. I have a new set of worms just for you."

Phil noticed the ducks looking pretty winded as they filed into base.

"What happened to you?", he asked, "I thought you were spending the day at the beach."

"We were, and then we got attacked by giant sand worms.", Wildwing stated clearly.

The ducks noticed that Phil had once again gained his duck form, but now he seemed more accepting.

"Phil, I thought you turned back to normal.", Canard stated.

Phil shrugged.

"It happened after you left, but I can use this."

"Yeah, you can get into your own promotional gimmicks and stunts rather than persuade us to do them.", Mallory said a little satisfied.

Nosedive slipped on a puck that was on the floor( I have no idea how that happened) which fired towards Phil who grabbed a nearby hockey stick and deflected it and sent it flying into the closet and into the large basket full of spare pucks. The ducks and Phil were stunned.

"When did your skills get so good?", Duke asked, "Last time you played you couldn't even skate."

Phil was just staring at the stick in his hand and then back to his team.

"I have no idea, but somehow this change brought a boost to my skill."

Nosedive had gotten up and then looked towards Wildwing a little nervously.

"Wing, could Thrash and Mookie have the same improvement?"

Wildwing smiled.

"Well, only one way to find out."

"You can say that again."

The ducks turned to see Thrash and Mookie walk out from behind Drake 1. soon they had all filed into the arena and were suited up. Tanya and Canard observed from the stands while the rest took the ice. After observing for a couple hours they all met up near Drake 1 where they observed the data Tanya and Canard collected.

"Yep, it seems that Phil, Thrash and Mook all gained hockey skills equivalent to ours.", Canard stated as if it was obvious, "Looks like we got some new players."

"No way.", Nosedive said firmly, "Canard got on this team cause he was already in the team before we lost him in our last season."(Breaking the fourth wall again.)

Phil shrugged.

"Hey, that doesn't mean we can't keep these skills for emergencies does it?"

And then the alarm went off.

"We got trouble!", Wildwing called out, "Move out Ducks!"

/

Klegghorn was feeling the heat.

"Why did something like this have to happen on a Sunday?!", he screamed.

He was called in to investigate some giant worms that were bursting from the ground in the park and chewing everything in sight. At first he didn't believe it, but now he was seeing it all unfold.

"If this keeps up, Anaheim will be famous for having alien and dimensional encounters more than Area 51."

The sound of the Migrator brought his attention and he turned to see it turn around a corner. One of the worms turned steely color and shot a metal ball that landed right in front of it. This made the Migrator stop and the ducks filed out. Klegghorn noticed Phil and pulled him aside as the rest rushed past. Thrash and Mookie joined him.

"Okay, what the heck is going on here?", he asked harshly, "Giant worms on the beach and now they're in the park and chewing up the whole place!"

"We don't know.", Phil answered, "Probably this Charyus fellow summoned them."

Klegghorn slapped himself in the head and then looked determined.

"First I'm relaxing on my day off and I'm not letting giant garden pests ruin it!"

They rushed out only to find the ducks surrounded and looking pretty overwhelmed.

"What do we do?", Phil asked.

Thrash and Mookie looked around and noticed a trash can lid, some roller skates and some branches nearby.

"We got a plan.", they both said.

A couple moments later, Phil and Thrash were set as Mookie had the trash can lid and Klegghorn kept watch on the other duck's situation.

"Whatever you're going to do, you better do it now."

Mookie threw the lid and Thrash passed it to Phil who had skated closer though he looked more scared to do so. He hit the lid which fired into the side of a worm's head causing it to stumble and the other ducks attacked. After a couple minutes, the worms retreated into the earth closing it as they did so and the ducks regrouped.

"Well, thanks for the help Klegghorn.", Wildwing said.

The officer blushed.

"Hey, I'm kind of liking this teaming up with all of you, but what about Phil, Thrash and Mook over here? Aren't they going to grab attention in their condition?"

Phil put a hand on Klegghorn's shoulder.

"Hey, it's not so bad once you get used to it. You should try it sometime."

Klegghorn's face turned serious.

"I prefer to stay human thanks, but if you three are okay with this, who am I to disagree?"

The ducks headed to the Migrator while Klegghorn went to his cruiser. After a couple moments, both vehicles drove off with the Migrator back to the Pond and Klegghorn to the station.

/

Charyus sighed.

"I have the ducks at my mercy and then some twist of Fate intervenes. No matter. At least my Anti-Magic spell is successful although the effects are temporary."

"It looks like your little worm invasion didn't go according to plan."

Charyus turned to see Siege walk in with what looked like a new blaster cannon.

"A minor setback.", Charyus assured, "I just need one last crystal to make and the ducks will be nothing but flies on the wall."

Siege aimed the new blaster cannon at a target nearby and fired. A colorful shot fired and exploded the target as it hit.

"Now that is something we need.", Siege said sounding pleased with his demonstration.

Wraith warped in looking as gloomy as ever.

"And how is that supposed to incapacitate the Duck's magic?", he asked.

Siege frowned and adjusted a setting on the side of the cannon and then fired at a magical orb that was used for target practice. Instead of a shot, a ray came forth and after the orb was hit, it shriveled until it was seen no more.

"Impressive.", Charyus said clearly showing no interest, "Too bad it's doomed to failure."

Siege looked insulted.

"At least I didn't make a spell that made our pest problem bigger than it already was."

Charyus frowned and the room grew dark.

"And one I hope to remedy.", he said coldly, "And if you value your life, you will take that piece of destruction junk and leave before I really lose my temper."

Siege left although grudgingly and Wraith turned to Charyus even though the room remained dark.

"And what is this spell you're looking for?", he asked.

Charyus sighed clearing his anger away and the room returned to normal.

"A spell that will make any fight turn in our favor."

/

"In other news, the strange worm invasion seems to have been halted for now thanks to our hometown heroes: the Mighty Ducks!"

The ducks had gathered to watch the news channel and noticed their exploits with the worms.

"With the victory at the Stanley Cup, fans are wondering one thing: what are the ducks going to do til next season? Local officer Klegghorn comments that the worms are from another dimension as he has since the other strange encounters over these past months. Has Anaheim become the new Area 51? More on the story when we come back."

Wildwing turned the channel off and the ducks got talking.

"Well at least we're not being questioned about anymore.", Mallory said calmly.

"In fact they're considering us heroes.", Duke added.

"Peace is restored and all will benefit.", Grin said sagely.

Canard didn't look too thrilled.

"Those worms had some kind of aura cause our enchantium magic was canceled out. Charyus must have some new magic."

The ducks cheerful moods quickly dampened into concern.

"Well, it is only temporary isn't it?", Phil asked, "We can prevent it can't we?"

Canard shook his head.

"That's the one spell that can't be countered."

Nosedive grew upset.

"So now our enemy has some super spell that can cancel ours? Why would he use something that can turn on him and-"

"Hold it.", Wildwing said cutting Nosedive off, "If that spell cancels magic, won't it bite the hand that casts it?"

Canard's face brightened as did the other ducks.

"Nosedive, you always did come up with the solution even though by accident."

Nosedive shrugged.

"Aw shucks, just part of who I am."

Wildwing agreed silently.

"So if our enemy has something we can use against them, why don't we take one?", Duke asked.

"When the time is right.", Wildwing assured him, "But when they try and use it, we'll be ready for them. Especially since we have three new ducks in the wings."

"Ain't that the truth.", Thrash and Mookie said in unification.

Phil smiled nervously.

"Well, I'm more skilled with a pen, but I'm willing to give it a shot."
