Canard's Sacrifice

A light shined from out of a dark place and there was a baby crying. "Congratulations, it's a helthy baby girl." someone said. The just born baby kept crying and crying until she was placed into the arms of her mother. She opened her eyes to see her mother for the first time, she had long brown hair and dark blue eyes unlike her newborn baby. "She's so beutiful." the new mother said "Isn't she beutiful honey?" The baby turned her head and saw her father, who had light blue eyes and and blond hair.

"Our baby sure is pretty." the baby's father said "What are you going to name her?" a doctor said "I like the name Penny." the mother said. "And if we get another girl, let's name her Betty." the baby father said with a smile. The baby, who was really Penny, cooed and gurgled at her new parents happily. Then the new parents left the hospital with their new baby daughter and got in their green car.

Baby Penny looked out the backseat window of the car to see a red dragon shaped space ship but she just cooed. Then Baby Penny left the car with her parents. She saw her father who wore a yellow shirt, pink boots and pink pants. "Come to your daddy Penny Sweetie." he said as he picked up his baby daughter.

Later on Baby Penny, now wearing blue footy pajamas, was being rocked to sleep by her mother who now wore yellow pajamas. Baby Penny played with her mother's long hair as she sung a song. Baby Penny giggled as her mother wrapped a pink blanket around the baby. "This is your blanket," her mother told her baby "I kept it since we left the hospital but i put your name on it." her mother showed her baby the corner which had the name 'Penny' in blue yarn.

Baby Penny yawned and her mother placed her baby in her cradle with a locket, Penny's locket, fell into the blanket with the baby. Her mother kissed her forehead then turned off the lights as she left and closed the door. A moment after a strange light lit up the room and right over the cradle. Baby Penny opened her eyes and saw an alien looming over hear from her bed. This was Chameleon, one of Dragonsus's goons "I found the baby." the green lizard like alien said "Good," another voice said from the com on his whrist "Now bring it aboard."

Chamaleon grabbed the baby and said "Nap times over, you're coming with me." As Chemeleon grabbed Penny his tail accidently hit a golden dragon lamp and it crashed into the floor, alerting the mother who screamed at the sight of Chameleon holding her baby "Uh oh," the green alien said "Time to exit, stage right!" the alien jumped out the window and made a run for it while Penny's mother watched in horror "Help! An alien took my baby!"

Penny's father lunged for Chameleon and was about to punch his face when suddenly another alien, Seige, arrived and punched the man, sending him flying into a ditch, killing him "Jake!" Penny's mother yelled. Then they teleported away.

The Next thing Baby Penny knew she was in the ship with the rest of her abtuctors, the Saurians! They had placed her inside a glass tube then a green light shined on her and in another tube. Soon Penny's clone, Luella was created. "Perfect," the red alien said, his voice scaring Baby Penny "My own warrior to raise as my own." "What about this other baby?" Chalemeon asked pointing at Baby Penny "Send her away." Dragonus said.

Wraith, the only Saurian with magic as his weapon, placed Baby Penny inside a rocked and said "So long infant, just be gratefull my lord didn't kill you." Then he launched the rocket, sending Penny deep into Outer Space to die. Instead, her rocket, heading in light speed, headed for another planet Puckworld.

The rocket enterted the planet and crash landed into the snow. Baby Penny opened her eyes just as the ship opened, showing the human baby a whole new world. A world she would grow up in for the next 16 years. A crowd gathered around the baby and wondered what to do with her. Then a young duck named Canard came close and said "She's just a baby." he said he picked up Baby Penny and read her name on the blanket. "Penny," Canard looked at the baby warmly and Baby Penny cooed at the bird. "Canard," a voice said "Are you nuts? It's an alien from another planet and we don't even know what it can do." "She's a girl not an it," Canard said with an angry look in his face as he faced the croud "And She's just a baby. Just born i bet."

Baby Penny whimpered as she started to cry but Canard patted her back and said "Don't cry Penny Baby, i'll take care of you from now on." as time pasted Penny started walking, then talking, then to school, and grew from a toddler, to a child, to finally a 16 year old...

"Penny! Penny, wake up!" Wildwing called out Penny, who had been dreaming of her past jolted awake then and there "What? What happen? Did we win?" "Hardly," Wildwing replied They saw Dragonus and Penny notised their feet were strapped down by a strange kind of chain or something. "What's going on?" Penny asked "You might wanna ask him that question." Wildwing said pointing to their captor Dragonus.

The evil overlord pulled the leaver and pulled it. The platform started hovering down towards the eletric pit down below "When you two hit those rays, you shall be insinterated," the red lizard said "I've always had a passion for chrispy duck." "I don't suppose i could intrest you in a nice pasta salad instead huh?" Wildwing asked.

Meanwhile Nosedive was'nt going to take any more waiting. He looked at the controls trying to figer out which one would start the ship. "If i could just get this heap in the air." Nosedive covered his eyes and said "Nosedive to tower, here gouse nothing." he pressed a button and open his eyes to see what worked... the window wipers "Augh, wrong."

Meanwhile Tanya and Mallory were at the main computers. They attached the bombs to the computers and Tanya told Mallory "Now throw the toggle switch." Mallroy looked at the buttom and the switch not knowing which to push "Togle switch... affirmative." she said then she pushed the button. The result, the timer went on rapid speed as an alarm went off.

"I told you to thow the switch, not press the button!" Tanya told Mallory as the two ran away "Switch, Button, what's the diff?" Mallory asked "About 9 minutes of escape time!" Tanya shouted then the bombs went off but Mallory and Tanya managed to escape as a ball of fire charged at them.

Meanwhile Wildwing and Penny were being lowered deeper into the pit when the room shook due to the explosion "What the blazes?" Dragonus asked then he left leaving his captives to their doom. "What are we gonna do Wildwing?" Penny asked her friend "Hope that Canard and the others will save us." Wildwing said "And if Dad dosn't come?" Wildwing looked down and said "You don't wanna now the anser to that. Trust me."

Meanwhile Canard, Grin, and Duke were battleing the rest of the Saurians when they saw Luella running towards Canard. "Penny!" Canard said happily but then 'Penny' jumped and ramed Canard right in the chest sending him flying backwards. "Penny?" Duke asked but then he and Grin saw the evil blood red tilt in her eyes and realized that this girl was not Penny at all.

"You're not Penny," Duke said aiming his blade at the girl's face "Who are you?" "I am Luella." Luella said "Dragonus is my lord and master and i must destroy all who cross him!" Then Dragonus called all his men to escape the exploding and they teleported away along with Luella. "I'm thinking, that was a little too easy." Duke said "Forget it," Canard said "We've got to find Wildwing and Penny."

Back with Wildwing and Penny they were moments away from becomeing zaped. "Oh man, my feathers are starting to sweat!" Wildwing said "I don't wanna get zaped," Penny said in a panic "HELP!" then Canard, Grin and Duke arrived and saw them "Wildwing! Penny!" Canard shouted Duke launched his grapple puck (I think that's what it's called. Don't blame me if it's wrong.) and swung down, grabbing Wildwing and Penny before they could touch the lazers.

They got back on the platform and Penny hugged her dad "Penny, are you all right? Did they hurt you?" "No, i'm fine." Penny said "Grab your socks troups!" Mallory said as she and Tanya rejoined the team "In 30 seconds this place is gonna be toast!"

Suddenly the wall next to them blew up and they when the dust settled they looked outside the fortress to see the ship gone "The Aerowing's gone!" Canard said then he turned to Wildwing angrily and said "That kid brother of yours, he-" Suddenly a wind blew an familier engains were heard then they saw the aerowing and piloting it was Nosedive! "Haha! Nosedive to the rescue!" the mallard cheered.

The ducks and Penny got on the ship and Penny wrapped her arms around her friend "Nosedive, you are the greatest!" "And to think i only got an 'F' in these things at school," Nosedive said "Looks like goofing off while making paper airplanes payed off after all!" Then they saw the red Saurian rocket ship entering a wormhole and Wildwing asked "What is that?" "It appears to be some sort of dimentional gateway." Tanya said "The we'll fallow them," Wildwing said then he turned to his little brother and said "Come on baby bro, punch it!" "Hang on!" Nosedive said as he made the ship go faster.

As they got closser to the ship it suddenly relased a living worm like creature that wrapped itself around the ship. The ship jolted as the worm clutched tight to the ship "What's happening?" Penny asked "And what the heck is that!" "I think it's an eletromagitc worm!" Tanya said "A what worm?" Penny asked. "Hey, if thsat thing get's big enough it could swallow the ship!" Duke shouted

"How are we gonna get rid of it?" Wildwing asked "It has to comsume some sort of matter." Tanya said "Then toss something out!" Penny said as she hung on to Wildwing "Toss what out?" Tanya said "Everything in this ship is bolted down!" Suddenly a gust of wind made Wildwing and Penny turn to see Canard at the opened door "Canard! What are you doing?" Wildwing asked "Daddy?" Penny asked "You heard Tanya," Canard said "I'm gonna shut this thing down!" "What?" Penny asked "Daddy, no!" "Are you crazy!" Wildwing asked "It's the only way." Canard said sternly.

Canard removed the mask and Handed it to Wildwing "Take it Wildwing, take it!" "Dad, you can't do this. What about me? I thought you cared about me!" "I do care about you," Canard told his daughter softly "But now i think it's time you knew the truth. You're not my birth daughter, i adopted you when you crash landed into Puck World as a baby but i still love you because i was the one who raised you. I've always loved you and now i need you to be a big girl without your father."

Suddenly the worm grabbed Canard and yanked him out the door! "Canard!" Wildwing shouted as he grabbed his best friend "Daddy!" Penny shouted As the duck sliped from Wildwing's hands he looked at his best friend and said "Take it, you're team captin now." Then he let go of the mask. "Noo!" Penny yelled then she jumped out of the aerowing and caught Canard!

Wildwing had to hold the mask and hold Penny's leg just so she wouldn't fall "Daddy, don't leave me, i can't live without you!" "I'm so sorry Penny Baby," Canard said "But you have to let go!" "No! Never!" Penny said "I don't wanna let you go!" "Penny!" Wildwing shouted as Penny started to slip from his grip "I can't hold you much longer!" Canard took something out of his pocket and gave it to Penny, it was her old baby blanket!

Taking the blanket into her free hand Penny said "Dad, once you're gone who will take care of me? I'm not ready to be alone yet!" "Then Wildwing and Nosedive will take care of you. The team will be your family now." Canard said he leaned forward and Kissed Penny's cheek before he let go "Nooooo!" Wildwing and Penny shouted as they watched Canard get eated by the worm but not before he shouted his last words "I love you Penny!" then he was gone.

"I love you too Daddy." Penny said as tears fell from her eyes and the ducks pulled her back into the ship. Duke closed the door and all Wildwing and Penny could do was staire at their things. Wildwing at the mask and Penny with her locket and baby blanket with which inside were her baby pajamas. "He sacrificed himself," Duke said "To save us." "Truely an evolved soul." Grin said.

Penny started sobbing as she rubbed her baby things to her face then Nosedive said "Uh guys, those dino creeps are getting away!" Tanya joined him and said "Oh no, the must have passed thought to the other end of the gateway." Wildwing placed the mask in his pack and said "Then that's where we're going! Punch it Nosedive!"

The ship went thought the gateway and ended up over a bright blue sky were a city was down below them. "Ugh, where's the Raptor?" Mallory asked "Mopre to the point," Wildwing said "Where are we?" As Penny was the blue sky she never got to see as a baby long ago a strange feeling over came her. Somehow this new world felt familier... was she... home?
