Ch.8: An Emeny in the Mist

It was a long time ago, this war had been nothing but a senseless fight from the start. Body's lain srewn about everywhere. Luckily Duck himself was not servely harmed. He had voted to stay on the sidelines as live bait to anyone that came at him first. His fellow soldiers had left him behind and the sarge didn't even bother posting some men to stick around. He was simply a nobody to them, why should they care for some Duck. It was the people's idea's to unite the whole entire world into one huge city, but some countries apparently hadn't liked the idea. So that's were he stood on the sidelines, while the whole world was trying to bring peace.

Duck:This is boring. Bombs here, bombs there. What's a Duck supposed to do for a little excitment around here?

Voice: What indeed?

Duck turned around surprised to see a black-haired girl behind him. A scar that look liked a crazed lightning bolt was cut across her left eye. Her clothes were ripped, and some bruises were visable here and there.

Duck:Who the heck are you?

Zera: My name is Zera Blitz, otherwise known as Black Lightning. And what might you be?

Duck: Drake Duck. Not the best name in the whole world, but I'll live with it.

Zera: Drake, spanish for 'dragon', you'd fit in quite well with my group.

Duck: I don't think so lady, I have enough problems as it is.

Zera: Ah..yes. You wish to help people do you not? Join me Drake and I'll grant your wish.

She held out her hand, Duck didn't want to take it, but he did.

At Loonatics Headquarters

Ace: So you took her up on the offer?

Duck: Hey she had me firgured out how could I refuse.

Lexi: But Drake...I mean Duck...what happened next?

Duck: Well I'll tell ya. It was kind of fun hanging out with her gang for awhile, even taught me a few moves. But soon after the war ended I saw her real motives...

Zera's Base

FireStorm: All is ready Zera.

Zera: Good and what about our little Feathered Dragon?

FireStorm smiled.

FireStorm: He is being taken care of as we speak. I'm surprised you recruited him in the first place during the war.

Zera: He was a great help to us. Thanks to him we got enough military weapons to destroy the city!

An alarm suddenly went off and a soldier ran in.

Solider: Black Lightning! It's Feathered Dragon! He's taken control of the base! He's heading striaght towards you!

Zera: What! Alert all the troops Stone, we must catch Feathered Dragon!

Stone nodded and ran off. Zera and FireStorm looked at each other and a voice called down from overhead. It was Duck.

Duck: Looking for someone Zera?

FireStorm: Feathered Dragon!

Zera: Drake! What is the meaning of this?

Duck: I'll tell what the meaning is sister! jumps down on FireStorm We helped stop the war, and your wanting to start it agian!

Zera: You don't get it do you? I've worked to hard to let this moment slip through my fingers!

Duck: My advice...Get a new hobby. he throws a explosive device on the core's main computer Feathered Dragon is out of the cage and ready to soar.

He runs out just as the computer explodes not daring to see the destruction he left behind. Zera was out of his life forever. Or was she?

----Back at Loonatic's Headquarter's-----

Duck: Well that's about it.

The other Loonatics were stunned and Duck noticed that everyone was staring at him.

Duck: What? Was it something I said?

Ace: Something you said...it was..

Rev popped up.

Rev: That was the greatest story ever! Man you should be a writer! That story be famous!...

Tech put a hand over Rev's mouth.

Tech: So uh... Duck what about Zera, do think she's the one who hired Nightshade?

Duck: Hmph. No doubt. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if she decided to drop in right now.

Voice: Hello Drake!

The whole turns around to see Zera standing behind them.

Duck: Me and my big mouth.

Zera glared at Duck and the rest of the team they were in for the battle of their lives.
