"Wildwing! Come in! It's an emergency!" Nosedive pressed the button that would connect him instantly to his brother, and only to his brother. He didn't want to be the one who had to tell Canard.
"Dive, what's wrong?" Wing's face appeared on the screen, "the drones just disappeared all of a sudden. What happened?"
"It's Kristy," Nosedive was near hyperventilation, "ol' Draggy snuck up behind me and knocked me over, that's when Lucricia showed up and grabbed her from behind..."
"Oh stars, Dive are you alright?"
"Bro I'm fine, but Kristy is gone!" He yelled the last part.
"What? What do you mean?"
Ok, now I'm in trouble, thought Dive at the sound of Canard's voice.
"Dude, we were trying to get away but Dragonus totally got the drop on me and Lucricia suddenly appeared behind Kriss and grabbed her and she had a laser gun and -"
"Nosedive, where is my sister?" asked an impatient Canard.
"I just told you. Lucricia took her!"
"Oh no," Canard covered his face with his hands, "I knew I shouldn't have left her alone. I should've watched her better..."
"Hey, Canard, you couldn't have know," comforted Mallory
"Yeah, but we have to find her," said Canard.
"Don't worry, we will," promised Duke.
"Dive, hurry back here so we can get back to the Pond and find Kristy," ordered Wildwing.
"On my way bro."
"Um, Wing," said Tanya, checking her omni-tool's computer, "we have a problem."
"What else can go wrong?" asked Duke.
"Well, uh, there's been a bunch of teleportation energy right outside of the Pond."
The bright green teleporting light cleared from Kristy's vision and she looked up at a familiar structure. Why would Lucricia take me back to the Pond, she wondered.
"Hey girly, you miss us?" asked Siege, who'd been waiting by the arena's front doors.
I bet Dive would think of something good to say right now, thought Kristy, but anything I say is bound to get me in trouble. So she just kept her mouth shut.
"Let's go kid," ordered Lucricia, shoving the teen forward. Kristy stumbled into the Pond's glass door.
"What do you want?" she asked, turning to face the older duck with her back against the door.
"Open the door," demanded Dragonus.
"No way, do it yourself," answered Kristy, stalling for time. Canard and the others are like right across the street. If I can just keep the Saurians out until they arrive...
"Open the door now," repeated Lucricia coldly, pointing her laser at the girl's face.
An idea suddenly dawned on Kristy, They can't get in because the door sensors wont admit Saurians. If I can get in and slam the door before they get through I could use Drake One to get in contact with the others.
She turned slowly back to the door, preparing to run. One...Two...THREE! Kristy pushed open the door and bolted through. She whirled around to shut the door, but Lucricia was faster. She managed to slip through the half-open door before Kristy could close it. The younger duck took a tentative step away from the subject of her worst nightmares. When Lucricia turned to admit the Suarians Kristy took her chance and ran.
"DeCoy! Catch that duck," ordered Dragonus, pointing at Kristy's receding back.. Lucricia was more than happy to obey. She left the door to chase after the girl.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Mighty Ducks were still at the park.
"Wait a minute, you mean she took Kristy to the Pond?" asked Canard.
"Why would Lucricia take her back to our HQ?" asked Mallory. "Kristy would have the tactical advantage, and there's no way that traitor could get through the security system."
"No, but Kristy could," said Wildwing, thinking out loud. "Tanya, you programed the security system to recognize her, didn't you?"
"Well yeah, of course, but-"
"Kriss wouldn't let those sleeze balls into the pond," argued Nosedive. He'd met up with the others in time to catch the tail-end of their conversation.
"What if she doesn't have a choice?" asked Duke, receiving blank looks from all around. The ex-thief shrugged. "I'm just saying that if I was tryin' to break into something like the pond I'd bypass hacking the security system all together. By using someone else to get me in."
"So you're saying that they're gonna try and force Kristy to let them into the pond?" asked Canard.
"It's what I'd do." answered Duke.
"Hey guys, Kristy's in the Pond," exclaimed Tanya, looking at her omni-tool's computer, "and she's not alone."
"What do you mean?" asked Wildwing
"According to the system, the front doors were opened using Kristy's DNA, and two people entered."
"So who's in there?" asked Mallory
"Um, all the scanners can tell me is that the two who entered weren't Saurians," Tanya pressed a few buttons, "Got it! Drake one shows that there are two ducks in the Pond."
Canard's face fell. "That means she's trapped in there with that traitor!" he exclaimed.
"So what are we waiting for," asked Dive, "Let's go!"
Where do I go? Where do I go? Kristy was near panicking, I've gotta hide. But where? She ran for the team's locker room, hoping to make it to the elevator before Lucricia caught her. Once down in the ducks' headquarters she could use the Pond's security system to keep the traitor out.
From now on I don't go anywhere without a scrunchie, promised Kristy, brushing her flying brown hair out of her face.
She reached the elevator at the back of the locker room and punched in her access code. Just a few more on, come one...YES!
The door finally opened and Kristy rushed inside. Just in time to see Lucricia enter the locker room for the opposite side. Lucricia saw the teen trying to escape and picked up the first thing she could find, a hockey puck, to throw at her. Kristy's hockey instincts kicked in and she knocked the puck out of the air before it could slam into it's target, her face. Lucricia used the distraction to throw a pair of bolas at the teen.
Kristy lunged to reach the button that would take her down to safety, but was stopped inched away. The bolas hit, winding a strong rope around her chest, pinning her arms to her sides, and the weights at either end sent her crashing to the floor of the elevator.
"So you thought you could hide from me," purred Lucricia, standing over the fallen duck, "there's no one that can save you this time." She casually pressed the button that Kristy had tried desperately to reach. "Once I have control of the Mighty Duck's headquarters I'll be invincible!"
"No!" gasped Kristy, struggling to rise to her knees.
Lucricia just grinned. "You're trapped dearie. Nothing you can do...So we might as well enjoy it." She pulled Kristy up by her shoulder and pushed her ahead through the open elevator door, into the duck's rec room. Kristy managed to keep her balance and stay on her feet. Until Lucricia shoved her from behind, causing her to trip over the couch and land in a 'compromising' position.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" asked Lucicia, coming around the couch tp position herself above the teen. "And look at those beautifully pale white legs..." she stoked her hand up Kristy's leg, ending just under her skirt hem.
"Don't you dare touch me!" shouted Kristy, kicking out at her attacker. She hit her right in the mid-section and Lucricia doubled over.
"Oh, you're going to pay for that," she threatened.
Kristy tried to wiggle away, but only ended up falling off the couch onto the carpet, accompanied by a loud 'rip'. Lucricia still had a grip on Kristy's skirt, and when she fell it tore down the front.
Kristy recognized the look on the older duck's face. It was a mixture of extacy and insanity. She squeezed shut her eyes, giving in to the inevitable and hoping this time it would be over quickly.
Just then Drake One's alarm went off, sending a shrill whistle through the Pond, warrning it's occupants of possible intruders.
"What in the..." Lucricia jumped up, looking around, "it must be those ducks." She looked down at the very relieved young duck cringing on the floor. "I'll just have to deal with you later."
Kristy let out the breath of air she hadn't noticed she was holding. They're here! She thought, It wont be long until Canard and Dive and the others find me.
"But we can't have your brother or those other annoying ducks interrupting, now can we?" Lucricia asked, bringing out a roll of duck tape from her back pocket.
"There's no way you can win," warned Kristy, "they're gonna kick your bu-muh."She was cut off by Lucricia wrapping a layer of the super-sticky tape around her beak.
She picked up Kristy by the bola ropes still around her chest and threw her into a nearby recliner chair.
Ow! thought Kristy, at least Grin likes soft chairs.
"Now to make sure you don't go anywhere..." Lucricia tied her the chair with another layer of the duck tape. "You can just wait here," teased Lucricia, walking back to the elevator, "I'll be back once I help Dragonus take care of your friends."
Kristy struggled to get freebut the tape held strong. She tried to bang her foot against the side of the chair, but it was too muffled by the padding. I need someway to make a lot of loud noise, someway to let them know I'm down here...
