Unusual Allies.

Back again, before I go on there are a few phrases and names I may or may not borrow from a very talented guy called Hajime Kanzaka, author of the slayers novels, (which if you're a fan of anime and manga you'll probably already know). There is a reason for this and I would like to state now that if these thing are used I am not claiming them as my own and the reason for it will become clear in due coarse. It may also later lead to a crossover, but I don't know yet.

Chapter Two: Good and Bad.

All Wildwing could feel in that instant was searing pain, any closer to the explosion and he knew he would most likely have been dead in an instant. He felt himself fly through the air and hit the ground hard causing yet more pain and he heard his armour crack. Somewhere through the roar in his head he heard Nosedive screaming his name and when he opened his eyes he could see his baby brother's worried face staring down at him, he was saying something but he couldn't hear him then tears began to role down Nosedive's cheeks. Wildwing tried to tell him he'd be okay but all he could manage was a gurgling sound every time he opened his beak, all Wildwing could do was lay there and try not to pass out.

"Tanya!" Duke yelled over to his team-mate from his spot next to the near by inferno, "I can't find Grin or Mallory!" He saw Tanya pale and look at the burning building and both ducks had the same sickening feeling in their stomachs. Draganus had been particularly active recently and that evening Drake one had alerted them to two places where teleportation energy had been detected Duke, Tanya and Nosedive had taken the museum and Wildwing, Grin and Mallory had taken this warehouse. Duke's team had found nothing unusual and went to meet up with the others. When they'd arrived Wildwing had come out of the building to meet them and find out exactly what they'd found, that's when it had exploded and they'd watched their leader as he was thrown towards them, "thank the stars for that armour o his or I doubt he'd even be breathin' right now!" Duke sighed. Cleghorn was soon there with a couple of fire engines, and ambulance and a few other cops.

"Easy kid," one of the paramedics soothed as he tried to calm down Nosedive whilst the other assessed Wildwing and asked Tanya anything he needed to know about what they could give Wildwing to ease the pain, "well take care of him, he'll pull through this you'll see." Nosedive was listening but he didn't reply. The paramedic noticed Dive was shaking and reached over to his case and pulled out a blanket from the top and wrapped it around the young ducks shoulders, "You know I watched your game the other night you guys were great man. I mean I'm not the biggest fan of hockey but when my kids insisted we watch the game I had to admit you've got the moves." Dive was still staring at his brother but he managed a small smile in gratitude for what the guy was doing.

The other paramedic, along with Tanya got Wing onto a stretcher and got him into the ambulance followed by Nosedive and the second paramedic.

"W. .W . . . We h . . . have a med. . ." Tanya was close to tears and her frustration at not being able to get her words out was making it ten times worse.

"Miss you're in no fit state to treat anybody, why don't you let our docs handle this one okay? "Asked the first paramedic.

"Duke?" Tanya asked looking around for the thief.

"I'm sure he'll follow along soon miss." The second paramedic assured her whilst he made sure Nosedive was comfortable inside the ambulance. Tanya numbly nodded and sat down beside Nosedive putting an arm around his shoulders and rested her head on his when he leaned into her shoulder.

"He can't leave me Tanya." Dive said quietly.

"He won't Dive, you're all he has left," Tanya replied grateful she regained her ability to speak, "He'll be f . . . f . . .," damn! "Okay."

"Promise?" Dive voice was thick with tears.

"Sure." Tanya replied as Dive broke down and sobbed into her shoulder, she cried quietly to herself to and rocked him gently back and forth as her mother had done when she'd been upset as a child.

"What do you mean set backs!" Draganus yelled at a saurian on his vid-screen, "I am more or less stuck here until my no good wife decides to send me some energy crystals and you tell me you have set backs!" The saurian Draganus was yelling at grew pale and quickly carried on with what his mistress had ordered him to tell his lord.

"Well the resistance have a new ally actually," he said nervously and transmitted some images of a girl who looked human all in silver with purple hair and red eyes taking out saurians and hunter drones with guns, explosives and a purple energy blade.

"That girl." Draganus growled.

"She is known in our own dimension as the space pirate Angel, and I believe she comes from the planet with the same name as the one you occupy now."

"I know who she is, keep me informed and tell my dear wife that she had better get my bullerium crystals soon!" With that he cut the saurian officer off. "Interesting," he said to himself, "what would a fey and one of royal descent no less be doing helping Puckworld much less alive. I thought I finished off all of those accursed Gabrievs years ago!"

Angel had had itchy feet again and was making her way silently through a work camps main control building. Every so often she would stick a small device to a wall or a door. She made her way down to the computer room and put a small gas mask over her nose and mouth and threw a silver ball into the room letting off a gas that knocked out the guards inside. She walked in and set about hacking into the computer. First she deactivated the alarm system, then she opened the cell doors letting the prisoners out and finally she hacked into the main computer in Maleficent's stronghold. Angel was positive the old witch knew where Draganus was if not where he had gone to and she was determined to get the coordinates. She soon had them and she put a virus into the system so it would be a while before the camp could be up and running again and turned to escape.

"Well, if it isn't the space pirate Angel," Maleficent sneered, "I must say you are good, but not good enough my dear, oh and," the saurian snapped her fingers and two soldiers dragged Canard and Roxy into the room tied and gagged, "your new friends were just dying to make sure you were safe."

"Let them go." Angel growled reaching to her left side for her energy sword.

"I don't think you're in any position to bargain my dear," Maleficent made eye contact with two more guards and they advance on Angel. Angel drew her blade and took the first one out before he knew what was happening, the second was faster and better trained but she soon removed his head from his body. Maleficent smiled and approached her and Angel looked unsure, "come now child here's you chance to live up to your ancestors legacy." Maleficent laughed and Angel charged. Canard and Roxy could only watch as the female saurian drew her own blade and matched Angel with ease despite the fact that their blades were barely visible. Maleficent whipped out her tail and tripped Angel up then hit her hard across the face knocking her unconscious. "You should have died with your family child I'm not as merciful as Draganus." Maleficent's laugh sent shivers trough Canard and Roxy's spines as they and Angel were taken to a cell in the lower levels.

Ta da. Well that's chapter two, not as long as most of the chapter I do in my stories but it's late and I'm tired. Anywho I hope you enjoyed it and you'll review it either way. Toodles Angel.
