Author's Note ~ Sorry for the delay guys! Not that this is relevant to the
story but don't you think Canard, and Mallory would make a cute couple?
Enjoy~
"So than he's alive", said Nosedive excitedly.
"Well Nosedive", said Tanya, "We didn't say that exact-"
"WildWing isn't dead", cried Nosedive, "My brother isn't dead!"
"Kid", said Duke looking at Tanya nervously, "He might be dead, don't get your hopes up."
"Yeah but he might be alive", shot back Nosedive, "Right Tawny?"
The others looked at Tanya tensely. She didn't want to get Nosedive's hopes up on his brother's life, but there was still a chance he was alive.
"Nosedive", she said, "I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that your brother is for certain dead, because there is a chance of him being alive. However the chances of that are very slim, and they aren't in any way in our favo-"
"So WildWing is alive!"
"Dive", said Canard, "WildWing is probably dead."
"Why are you guys being so negative", shouted Nosedive, "He might be alive, Tanya said so herself!"
"Nosedive", said Grin, "We just don't want anyone to get their hopes up, that's all."
"We have to go look for him", cried Nosedive ignoring Grin. "Come on!"
"Hold up Nosedive", said Canard, "Let's get ourselves home first, and I'm not sur-"
"We have to look for Wing", cried Nosedive becoming overwhelmed with anger, "Don't you want him back?"
"Of course Dive", said Canard, "He's my best friend, of course I want him back, but Dive he might be dead."
"And he might be alive", cried Nosedive, "What's the matter with you people?"
"Nosedive please", begged Mallory, "Listen to what we are saying, if you get yourself worked up than what? What good does that do, we will have to look for WildWing because if there is a chance of survival for him than he is depending on us. So yes Nosedive as a team we have a right to. You as a brother have a right to want WildWing back as soon as possible, but let's not do something stupid now Dive. Okay? Calm down, we will look for WildWing, but please keep in mind that WildWing might be dead. Besides Nosedive we don't even know where to start looking, we have no clues or any leads."
Nosedive looked away, he wouldn't hear what they had to say, they didn't make sense! It wasn't fair.
"Phil", said Canard, "Thank you once again for helping us out."
"No problem Canard, you guys better go, and watch the kid alright?"
"Of course."
The ducks departed the room, Nosedive having to be slightly pushed though to leave. The all walked into the hallway where each duck remained silent, and it continued that way the entire car ride home. Tanya promised Nosedive that she would start the mystery if Nosedive would go to sleep.
Thankfully Nosedive accepted her terms, and made the deal with her. The others thanked her for bluffing, but she told them she intended on keeping her promise. For Nosedive, and for WildWing.
The others soon started to worry that it wasn't only Nosedive getting his hopes up, but Tanya as well. However you cannot persuade someone to break a promise; it's a moral thing.
So the ducks decided to help her and discovered many things.
"Okay so Dragounous could have probably gotten hold of WildWing after the plane went down! Phil said that it was as if WildWing disappeared because he was in the seat right next to him", exclaimed Mallory. "And since Chameleon was faking WildWing's death, and the bruises were wrong its pretty safe to say that Dragounous has WildWing."
"Not to mention", commented Duke, "That everyone else survived the crash, WildWing was the only one reported dead. Isn't that a little odd? I mean the people on that plane were small, out of shape people. WildWing is six two, and in shape, and he's the one that dies? I don't find that likely, so yeah I agree with Tanya when she says Draganous has WildWing."
"Plus", said Mallory, "If Phil survived than how could WildWing not have?"
"Great", muttered Canard, "How are we supposed to find the raptor? We can't even find it in the first place when we're not missing a teammate!"
"Wait a minute", cried Tanya, "There's an island right by where the plane crashed on this map! It's incredibly small, very small but there are radio waves that are similar to the Raptor's on the island!"
"Why don't we go check it out than", exclaimed Canard. "Wing's there!"
"Canard", said Duke gently, "Remember how you told Nosedive not to get his hopes up? Well same goes for you buddy. We need to face the fact that Wing is probably dead already."
"Yeah I know", sighed Canard, "But we are still going to look for him right?"
"Of course", exclaimed Tanya, "Not after we did all this work! Let's go!"
"Now", asked the others?
"You guys WildWing is probably gone, but what if he's not? We're wasting time doing nothing when we could be preventing a horrible fate, now let's go!"
"I'll get the kid", said Duke, "Just give me a few seconds to explain a few things to him, and the chances of Wing being alive."
"I'm coming with you", said Canard, "You guys go meet up in the AeroWing. We'll see you there."
The others nodded and left to the garage.
"Kid", said Duke while gently shaking him, "Kid, wake up."
"Huh? Whas da matta?"
"Nosedive", said Canard, "I don't want you getting your hopes up, but we think we know where WildWing is."
Nosedive shot up, "Really? Let's go!"
"Hold up short stuff", said Canard, pulling him back into a sitting position, WildWing is probably dead. "
"Stop saying that!"
"Nosedi-"
"You don't know that for sure, so why do you have to be so negative? My brother can be alive you know!"
"Listen to me", said Canard, "How many times do we fight Dragounous? And each and every one of those times has he not tried to kill us?"
"Yes but-"
"So if he is given the chance, don't you think he'll take it? Dive we don't even know if WildWing is there, this is just a guess. I don't want you to get all excited and than find your brother dead in some room."
"Stop it!"
"Nosedive, you know I'm telling you the truth! I wouldn't lie to you!"
There was a deadly silence. Nosedive turned around and looked at them.
"But isn't it okay to be a little optimistic", asked Nosedive.
"Yeah that's okay", said Canard hugging the teen, "But just a little."
The group left and headed to meet up with the others. Everyone tried to stay silent for the trip to the island, not wanting to go through sudden outbursts, or emotional breakdowns. However that goal was not succeeded.
"Guys it's so pretty up here", commented Mallory, "It's such a pretty day."
"Yeah", said Nosedive flatly, "And just think this is where the plane went crashing into the water. Still pretty?"
Finally after an hour's trip they spotted the island and settled down. Once on the island they found many trees, and birds, fish, pink sand, purple pebbles, colorful beasts, and small mountains.
But none of that mattered, for it wasn't on anyone's concern to see that. The team walked into a small cottage, or that was its appearance anyway. It turned out to be the raptor.
"Oh my gosh", said Nosedive, "Tawny you were right!"
"Thanks for believing me", responded Tanya sarcastically.
"Everyone stay quiet", ordered Canard, "I'm going to try and use the mask to find our enemies, and our target goal."
"That's Wing right?", asked Nosedive.
Normally Canard would have bit Nosedive's head off for his stupidity, and causing problems in a battle situation. However this time it was different.
"Right kid", said Canard ruffling Nosedive's hair, "Exactly."
Nosedive beamed with happiness glad that he wasn't being yelled at. He enjoyed the alteration from a cantankerous, crotchety, Canard, to the nice, warm, caring Canard.
"Okay guys", said Canard, "Draganous is in that room over there, working on some kind of project with Siege, Wraith, Chameleon, the whole gang."
"What about Wing", piped Nosedive, "What about him?"
It was breaking the team's heart to see the optimistic Nosedive in want of his brother. Thinking that his brother had a chance, when the reality was they were going to find a tortured, gruesome, deformed WildWing locked up in some closet somewhere dead. It was so horrible to see this happening. WildWing was dead, it had to be, or that's what everyone was thinking.
"Um I'm not sure Dive", said Canard, than in a closer whisper, "Remember what we talked about kid?"
"Yeah", whispered Nosedive back, "You said I could be a little optimistic, remember?"
"Nosedi-"
"Stop talking, you have to work to do."
Canard sighed, it was pointless trying to talk to teenager who had his hopes up.
"Tanya", said Canard, "Since nothing is alive in here, except for those lizards can you try and detect any heat sources? If it comes from this circle area, than it's defiantly us, and if it comes from that direction it's the lizards, however if it comes from elsewhere it might be Wing."
Tanya nodded. After a few seconds, she exclaimed, "There's heat energy over there."
After following Tanya's directions they came to a closet that was guarded by two drones. The ducks hid.
"Where there is a guard", said Duke, "There is loot, or in our case WildWing."
"Really", cried Nosedive, "Oh my gos-"
"Nosedive", said Canard, "Please remember what I said."
Nosedive cringed his face up, "Negativity is not needed."
Canard sighed, "Well guys, let's do this."
The ducks piled out fighting the drones, however finding themselves short to get to the room. But brother's love can move mountains, and somehow Nosedive was able to get through into the room.
It was dark, and silent inside. Outside he heard fighting and missiles going off, and the soon approaching Draganous team. After his eyes adjusted he gasped.
"WildWing!"
Author's Note~ Again apologizes on the delay! Heh, sorry about the cliffhanger! I'll get the rest of it up soon…I hope.
"So than he's alive", said Nosedive excitedly.
"Well Nosedive", said Tanya, "We didn't say that exact-"
