"The Illness"

Copyright: I do not own The Mighty Ducks, The Walt Disney Company does.

Chapter One:

The Aerowing landed back in the hanger at the pond as Wildwing and Duke carried Nosedive to the infirmary quickly followed by the others. He had been hurt bad in a battle with Dragaunus and his injuries looked pretty bad.

"How bad is it?", asked Wildwing as they laid him on an examination table.

"I don't know it looks like he's hurt pretty bad", said Tanya as she went to work.

"Nosedive, can you hear me, it's m e Wildwing", said Wildwing to an unconscious Nosedive.

"I think we had better leave Tanya alone with Nosedive for a while" said Duke.

"Yeah I guess so", said Wildwing. He followed the others out.

In a few hours later Tanya came back into the room.

"Nosedive's going to be ok, but he is in a lot of pain and it's going to be awhile before he fully recovers", said Tanya.

"Can we talk to him?", asked Mallory.

"I think so but only for awhile", said Tanya. The others followed her into the infirmary.

"Hey Nosedive how are you?", asked Wildwing.

"I'm in a lot of pain", said Nosedive in a weak voice.

"You were sure hurt bad in the battle little friend" , said Grin.

"Yeah I guess so", said Nosedive, then he began to scream in pain.

"Tanya , can't yo do anything for the pain?", asked Wildwing.

"I've tried everything we've got, but nothing works", said Tanya.

"Maybe there is something in one of the hospitals here in Anaheim", said Duke.

"I don't know if anything here may help, but it's worth a try", said Tanya.

"All right, let's go see if there's anything we can find to help Nosedive, Tanya you stay here in case Nosedive needs you", said Wildwing as he and the others jumped on the duck cycles to look for something that can help Nosedive.

In a few hours they were back with a human male Doctor. They escorted him into the infirmary where Nosedive was. He walked over to Nosedive and introduced himself.

"Hello Nosedive, I'm Dr. George Nichopolus, I'm told that your in a great deal of pain", said Dr. Nichopolus.

"Yeah", said Nosedive barely above a whisper.

"Well your friend Tanya has told me about what happened to you and I think I can prescribe something to help you", said Dr. George Nichopolus,

"It's called Dilaudid and it's a drug that is designed to relieve great pain and I want to see if it can help you", added the white haired Doctor.

Wildwing and Duke helped the doctor get the IV equipment set up by Nosedive.

"Now Nosedive I am going to administer the Dilaudid through an IV needle, so when I put it into you don't be alarmed", said Dr. Nichopolus.

"Ok", said Nosedive.

With that the doctor put the needle into Nosedive's arm and the medicine began flowing into Nosedive immediately.

"Now Nosedive I want you to see how this medicine affects the pain you've been having then as they you can call me in the morning", said Dr. Nichopolus.

"Ok Doc", said Nosedive.

"And by the way, just call me Dr. Nick, all my patients do", said the doctor as he left.

"I think we should leave Nosedive alone in here for the night", said Tanya as she and the others left to go to bed with Nosedive still in the infirmary.

During the night Nosedive was awake most of the time but he felt the pain going away.

"This Dilaudid stuff really works. I feel good, in fact I feel really good, I should be back on my feet in no time", said Nosedive as he drifted off to sleep.

End of Chapter One.

I've been thinking of doing a story like this, but if it's not too good don't be to harsh in your criticism.
