Better Together Chapter 12: "Raiders Of The Iron Vulture Part 3"

I'm updating Nobody Listens today! :D

Louie yelped, dodging a blow from one of the pirates. June was on the other side of the ship/plane, doing a quite pathetic job of fending of Don Karnage…with a stick.

Louie rolled his eyes at her; did June have any sense what she was doing?! He leaped on top of her and made her duck, narrowly missing the end of the wolf captain's blade.

Don Karnage smirked, grabbing Louie and tying him up. June dodged his hand, stumbling backwards. Ugly Mug opened the plane doors, and June almost fell out, but she gripped the edge of the plane, dangling off the edge dangerously.

Don Karnage looked down at her, holding a tied up Louie at the same time.

"Say your last words, princess." He sneered at her. Louie seethed and squirmed in the ropes, realizing that his feet were not bound together properly. He kicked the captain. Now free, he was able to squeeze out of the ropes by pushing his right leg through one of them, then stepping out. One of the crew lunged at him, slamming him into a wall.

June was slipping, "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" She screamed.

Louie slipped under the pirate, who snarled at him. He grabbed the rope and swung it out of the hatch so that June could hold onto it. Don Karnage smirked and cut the rope, but Louie grabbed June's hand before she fell off the edge. Louie hoisted her up, panting.

Don Karnage seethed, "Seriously?!" He took his sword from its sheath and swung it at June, but missed. June ended up shoving him out of the open hatch.

Don Karnage yelled as his parachute opened, "THIS IS NOT THE LAST OF DON KAR-" He hit the ground. "I'm okay!"

Not that Louie and June cared.

The pirates inside fumed.

Peg Leg Meg grabbed a gun from the nearest shelf in the corner, trying to shoot them, but failing. Instead, she shot three holes through the walls.

Everyone was distracted.

"Wait, who's piloting the plane?" Stinky Boot asked.

They all screamed as the Iron Vulture crashed into the forest, now tangled in some vines.

Louie slammed open the hatch, coughing. June followed, also hacking.

She sputtered, "You saved me…"

Louie rubbed the back of his head, "Well, that's what friends are for, right?"

June blushed, "Yeah…"

Louie smirked and pointed a teasing finger at her, "Who's blushing now?! HA!"

June laughed, "Okay, you caught me."

"And I caught you." Another voice interrupted.

Louie and June whipped around to see an angry Donald and Daisy furiously glaring at them.

One of the pirates stuck his head out of the plane, (or what remained of it anyway) but then obviously thought better and closed the door when he saw the two ducks.

"Hey Uncle Donald…" Louie grinned sheepishly.

Donald's gaze scorched through Louie, "Hey Uncle Donald? HEY UNCLE DONALD?! You two stole the Cloudslayer and then nearly got yourself killed by vicious pirates!" he squawked, "We wouldn't have even known if it weren't for Launchpad!"

"We were that good! High-five!" June high-fived Louie.

"No, NOT high-five, because you aren't even supposed to be here!" Daisy hissed, "You're supposed to be back at your house, safe and sound, where no harm can be done to you."

June retorted, "Like I even have a house! All we ever DO is move! Just when I think that I've made new friends and that I'm actually living a decent life, you take that all away from me! For…what? Some stupid It List lady that practically uses you as her slave?!"

"No back talk! You are going straight home with me and we're going to have a long talk about this!"

"You too, Louie." Donald snapped.

Louie grumbled something and put his hands in his pocket, glaring at his feet.

Don't forget to review, follow, and fav! :) ;D
