Sorry this one is so short, I'll try to post again soon!
The other ducks could only watch as the trees came crashing down. Wildwing didn't know where Mallory and Grin were, but he, Canard, and Tanya had to run further away from the path to avoid another falling tree.
"Wildwing, you there?" Mallory's voice called from his comm.
"We're fine here. How 'bout you and Grin?"
"We're good, but we can't get to the others. There're a couple of huge trees in our way."
Oh stars...Dive! Wildwing realized that they were cut off from his brother, Kristy, and Duke.
"But we saw Dive 'n Kristy fall," continued Mallory, "the momentum threw 'em out of the tree's path so they shouldn't be too bad. I didn't see Duke though..."
"Try to reach them from your position, we'll do the same. Wildwing out."

"Ah man, not good," muttered Kristy, feeling a sharp pain in her wrist as she pushed herself up from the ground. Please don't be broken, she pleaded. She sat up and looked straight into the barrel of a Saurian laser gun. "Oh no..."
"Get up," ordered Siege, motioning with his laser. Kristy obeyed an saw Nosedive being hauled roughly to his feet by Dragonus.
"Where are the crystals, boy?"
"What crystals?" asked Dive, trying to play dumb.
Dragonus roared in anger and pointed his laser at the temple of Nosedive's head, keeping the teen captive with a clawed hand around his arm. "Where are the others?" Dive didn't answer.
Dragonus raised his voice so it echoed through the forest. "Can you hear me Mighty Ducks? Show yourselves or he dies!"
"They aren't here!" exclaimed Kristy, thinking fast. She took a step forward, but was restrained by Siege's strong hand on her shoulder. "We came alone."
Only his duty as team captain kept Wildwing from rushing out to confront the Saurians immediately, but he refused to answer Dragonuse's demand.
"Wing we gotta do something," said Canard. "We can't leave them down there!"
"We can't help them if we get captured too," stated Wildwing. As much as it hurt to say he had to do what was right for the team, and they couldn't afford to let Dragonus know where they were. He turned to his comm. "Mal, Grin, you guys see this."
"Affirmative," answered Mallory, "we're facing the west side. So what's the plan?"
Wildwing glanced and Canard before responding. "We're facing the North side and we'll let you know when we think of one."
