Chapter 5:
The Borg were beginning to set their plan in place. Their assimilation of the human race was gone. And with the assimilation of the 5 out of the six mighty ducks, it seemed clear to them that the threat they posed was eliminated. The cube then descended into the sky around Anaheim. They began to transport Borg drones on to the surface and into the city and as they went they injected their human victims with the needles that would eventually lead to their assimilation. At the forefront leading the Borg assault was the 5 assimilated mighty ducks. 1 of 5 (Nosedive), 2 of 5 (Mallory), 3 of 5 (Duke), 4 of 5 (Grin), and 5 of 5 (Wildwing). There was nothing to stop them. Any weapons the humans used against the Borg they quickly adapted to.
Meanwhile back at the pond Tanya had long finished working on the Migrator and was now watching what was going on outside on Drake One.
"It's really getting bad out there", said Tanya as she grew more nervous, "I really wish the others would get back here".
Just then the Drake One's screen flashed off, then on again, and finally off for good.
"Great, what a time for the power to go out", said Tanya. The power to the pond and to Drake One was cut as a result of the Borg cutting off the power to the city.
"I'm going to have to get the power back on if I'm going to see what is going on out there", said Tanya as she went to try to repair the system.
Meanwhile the Borg assault was now heading directly to the pond and leading them was the unimatrix consisting of the assimilated ducks and with their knowledge of how to get through any security systems gotten from their assimilation, they knew just how to enter.
Tanya was just working to get the power back on with an alternative energy source to power the computers. Then she heard the noise of the drones breaking through the door and moving about the building.
"Those things are in the building", said Tanya, "Now what am I going to do". She grabbed a nearby puck launcher and propped herself up against a computer panel and she could hear them getting closer.
"I guess this is it", Tanya said to herself as she pointed the puck launcher at the advancing column of Borg drones. Suddenly she could see them and she was shocked.
"Oh no, the others have been turned into those things", she said and in horror she fired upon the Borg drones, but the puck just bounced off the Borg Drone's shields.
"I guess there's nothing else to do", Tanya said as she tossed the puck launcher aside, just then her hand reached over the computer console and touched a button. It began to release a special chemical gas that was created to use against artificial intruders. Tanya realized what she released and quickly went down on the floor and got a gas mask from a locker.
"Well that's better", she said, "but wait a minute, something's happening to those things". She was right. The gas was having an effect on the Borg's implants and degrading them.
"It looks like the gas is taking them out", said Tanya. She slowly approached them as to be sure that they were not active.
"Maybe I can still help the others", said Tanya. She began to carry each assimilated duck to the lab to see if she could reverse the process. She only had a few hours if she was going to save them from the effects of the gas. One by one she was able to deactivate the implants and remove them from the ducks. She kept them sedated so they could rest. After a few hours she decided to wake them up.
She started with Wildwing.
"Oh, what happened", said Wildwing as he woke up.
"You were assimilated", said Tanya, "what can you remember?".
"I remember everything, but it's all a blur", said Wildwing. He helped her revive the others. First Mallory, then Duke, then Grin and finally Nosedive. When she woke him up, he had a different reaction.
"No, no don't take them away, I want them, I want that no", screamed Nosedive.
"Calm down Nosedive, everything's ok now", said Wildwing trying to comfort his brother.
"Yeah we're free now Nosedive", said Duke.
"Is it really, is it really ok?", asked Nosedive almost whimpering.
"Yes everything is fine", said Mallory.
"Grin why don't you help Dive to his room", said Wildwing.
"Sure, come on little friend you need your rest", said Grin as he helped Nosedive to his room.
"I don't like how Nosedive reacted, it kinda scares me", said Wildwing.
"Maybe it's just temporary", said Mallory.
"I'd like to think that", said Wildwing, " Tanya any way we could use that gas against the Borg?".
"Yeah I think so, but it would take a while to make enough of it", said Tanya.
"Then do it", said Wildwing. He then headed off to his room to rest.
