Chapter 6:
It had been several days since the Borg invasion and after the ducks found that the gas was able to stop the Borg the ducks had been able to drive the Borg to just outside Earth's atmosphere and were able to stop the Borg from assimilating earth, for a while that is.
"Tanya we need to find a way to use that gas against the Borg cube and stop them permanently", said Wildwing.
"I've been trying to find a way to mount a missile loaded with the gas to the Aerowing so that we can deliver it against the Borg", said Tanya.
"Yeah but how are we going to get it past their shields?", asked Mallory.
"We're going to have to lure the Borg into beaming it along with one of you onto the Borg cube", said Tanya.
"Yeah but what's to stop one of us from being assimilated again?", asked Duke.
"The decoy will have a little gun that is equipped with the gas to fend of any Borg that might try to assimilate them, then when the weapon is deployed the decoy will be beamed out of the cube", said Tanya.
"Sounds good, now we just need a little luck", said Wildwing, "By the way what's been up with Nosedive?".
"Last time I saw him he had returned from the mall and was resting in his room", said Grin.
"He's really been resting a lot lately", said Duke.
"Well the effects of the assimilation hit him the hardest", said Tanya.
"I just hope he'll be ok", said Wildwing.
Meanwhile in Nosedive's room, Nosedive was in bed sleeping. Suddenly he began to twitch and move nervously. He began to sweat. He was having a nightmare. Something was scaring him. He kept twisting and turning until he couldn't bare it any more and he woke up and sat up".
"Oh, it was only a nightmare", said Nosedive, "Or was it?". Nosedive remembered it and how he felt. He then made a decision. Nosedive got up and walked out of his quarters. He sneaked down to where the Duck cycles were and took of on one.
The ducks were in the lab when the Drake One alarm sounded that one of the cycles were missing. The ducks raced to see what had happened.
"It looks like someone has taken a duck cycle", said Mallory.
"But who, where all here and Nosedive's in his room, at least I think he is", said Wildwing.
"I'll go check", said Duke. Duke raced off towards Nosedive's room. He found the door open and went in. He looked around but couldn't see Nosedive anywhere. Duke raced back to tell the others.
"Nosedive's not in his room", said Duke.
"He must have been the one who took the cycle", said Tayna, "but why".
"I don't know but I'm going to follow him", said Wildwing. He went and took off on another duck cycle after his brother.
Meanwhile Nosedive was racing towards Anaheim's biggest park. He was fueled by fear and nervousness. He was trying to access the Proximity transceiver, one of the implants that Tanya was unable to remove from him, to transmit a single to the collective. Behind him Wildwing had finally found Nosedive and was trying to him.
"Nosedive, what's going on?", yelled Wildwing but Nosedive was to far down the road to here him. Finally Nosedive reached the park. He dismounted the cycle and climbed up a small hill. Wildwing finally arrived at the park and walked over to where Nosedive was.
"Nosedive what's going on, why did you take one of the cycles?", said Wildwing. Nosedive heard him and he aimed his puck launcher at his brother.
"You stay where you are Wing, I don't want to hurt you", said Nosedive. Wildwing could tell that he was very nervous.
"Nosedive no one's going to hurt anybody, now just calm down", said Wildwing. Just then 3 figures transported down to the surface of the hill where Nosedive was. They were three Borg drones.
"Nosedive, get away from there Nosedive", yelled Wildwing. But it was too late. Nosedive and the three Borg drones had already transported back to the Borg cube. Wildwing couldn't finger out what would make Nosedive do this. He got on the Duck cycle and went back to figure things out.
Back on the Borg cube, Nosedive followed the three Borg drones to the primary assimilation chamber. Once there, the collective spoke to him in it's unison voice.
"Welcome back 1 of 1", said the collective.
"It's good to be back", said Nosedive. Nosedive let the Borg drones surrounding him guide him to the table for his re-assimilation. He lay down on the table. The first implant that was re-attached was the primary cortical node, and as the assimilation process proceeded Nosedive felt more calm and peaceful than he ever had in his life. A few hours later his re-assimilation was complete. 1 of 1 (Nosedive) stood up and per the orders of the collective, restated his designation.
"We are 1 of 1, quartinary adjunct of unimatrix 893, our primary function is to service the collective", said 1 of 1. He then proceeded down the corridor and accessed his regeneration alcove. While Nosedive regenerated he felt peaceful and relaxed. He was back, back where he thought he belonged.
