The Collector
Act 2: The Island
At the Pond
The team was in Tanya's lab while she was at her Blood analyzer machine to figure out the mix that was inside the dart found next to their missing teammate's puck blaster.
"So that's it." she said after 5 mins
"What's it?" asked Wildwing
"The stuff in the dart. It's a mix of animal tranquilizer, a liquid sedative similar to that which is used in hospitals and a strong muscle relaxer."
"Why all that just to take someone." said Duke
"Who ever took him wanted to be sure that even if Nosedive had came to during transport they wouldn't have any trouble."
"Wouldn't a mix like that be dangerous for someone of Nosedive's size." asked Mallory
"Not necessarily, if the right amounts were mixed, it would be strong enough to take out someone Grin's size."
"We all know the Saurians took him. We just need to know where." said Wildwing
"I don't know about that, they wouldn't use a dart, one or two hunter drones could take him easily and that would of given him a chance to call out for help." said Tanya
Just then Drake 1's alarm went off.
"There's a perimeter breach near the rink with teleportation activity" said Mallory
The Ducks raced to the rink with puck blasters drawn when they got there the see Siege and Wraith and two drones at the entrance way to the rink.
"Alright you Lounge Lizards where's Nosedive?"
"The Brat? We don't have him, now just had over Chameleon and we won't blast ya." Said Siege
"We don't have Chameleon." said Mallory
Both sides were about to go at it when grin finally had enough of the negative energy.
"ENOUGH!"
Everyone stopped at Grin's sudden outburst
"It is clear that they do not have our little friend and we do not have theirs so it appears that Tanya is correct about someone else being responsible for their disappearances. "
"Who would want to take them?" asked Wraith
"You'd be surprised of what people are capable of." said Wildwing
The ducks left the Saurians and headed towards the locker room.
"Perhaps…we can form a temporary truce to find them I wouldn't want to invoke Lord Draganus wrath if we return without Chameleon."
With a wary look to his team Wildwing agreed.
"Under one condition, until their found one slip up from you and we take you down or send you back to your lord, got it?"
"Very well"
"Good" The Ducks and the Saurians went down the ducks headquarters.
On The Island
In a glass enclosure a certain duck is just regaining consciousness to find himself in a large nest wearing strange clothes.
*groans* "What is going on? Where am I?"
"So your finally awake." he hears a female voice say
He turns to see what looked like a human but she had white fur and blackish gray stripes and the head of a feline and raven black hair and was wearing a teal leotard with purple trim and belt with gauntlets to match, her hair was held down by a metallic teal head piece with a purple stone dangling from the center on her forehead.
"What is this place? I'm positive it's not the raptor."
"You're on the Island of Utopia owned by the great Olivia Von Lictenstamp self-proclaimed naturalist." said the catwoman
"So I take it she's the one who brought me here, where they any other ducks with me."
"No just you, but I saw a strange green lizard unloaded with you he's in the next bubble over."
Nosedive looked to his right and saw Chameleon still out draped on a tree limb and his enclosure decorated much like a Chameleons natural home. Then he looked around his enclosure and saw his enclosure decorated by guesstimation on what a male teenage alien duck's room would look like, though a little off on some things the rest was spot on. Hockey posters on the wall, a giant nest near one of the walls, a bookshelf with quite a selection of his favorite comics and mangas, and an area to watch TV and movies.
"Someone went out of their way to make sure I feel comfortable about being kidnapped."
"Not kidnapped, rescued." said the catwoman
"Rescued?"
"Yeah, she saw you were in a dangerous situation so you were rescued."
"By drugging and kidnapping me, if this is her idea of rescuing I hate to see her idea of kidnapping. Name's Nosedive by the way, didn't catch your name."
"Didn't throw it. But it was Erin McKnight,"
"Was?"
"Yeah, I wasn't born like this, I was human until an animal rights riot at Chicago University two months ago.
"What happened?"
Some weirdo of a geneticist was in Chicago testing on animals so my activist group protested the lab while I was getting a petition together to shut the lab down when I came back a few college trouble makers turned our peaceful protest into a riot and the labs security came out with what i thought were bean bag guns and shot a few students including me. We were brought inside before the police got there and broke it up. They arrested the trouble makers and were told that the ones shot where brought to the hospital."
"When I woke up I saw my friends were now half cat, half human. From what I could gather we had become test subjects for a new serum that would turn us into Feline Hybrids without wings meaning he's done this before but the others have wings. We managed to escape a few days later when we were being moved to a new lab, the weird thing was we could shoot electricity from our hands because of the Electric Eel DNA in the serum. To keep from getting caught we split up, I made my way out of Chicago and found an abandoned building outside of town to hide in."
"How Did you end up here?"
"I was scavenging for food near a bakery when I got hit with a dart and collapsed. When I came to I though I was caught by Sevarious but a young woman was outside my enclosure. She explained to me that she brought me here to protect me."
*Flashback*
"Where…where am I?"
"You're in Utopia."
Erin turned around to find a young brown haired woman standing there
"Who are you? Are you working for Sevarious?"
"Heavens no I'm not working for my uncle, he's crazy."
"And you're not?"
"Yes and as far as my name it's Olivia Von Lictenstamp."
"Why did you kidnap me?"
"I brought you here to keep you safe from the people that would harm you. Now you have had a long journey and must be tired so I'll let you rest until dinner."
She pressed a button on a wall that released a purple gas after coughing for a minute Erin fell silent and Olivia walked away.
*End Flashback*
"So if your not Erin anymore what do you call yourself?"
"I looked at myself and I saw that my fur pattern is that of an Egyptian Mao, so I thought it would be fitting to call myself Bast."
"Bast?"
"One of the Egyptian Cat goddess. The Mao's were said to be messengers of Bast."
"That's cool."
"So what's your story, Nosedive?"
"Call me Dive, everyone else does."
"Ok"
"Well, we had a game today or was it yesterday? What day is it any way?"
"Wednesday, you were brought in around 12:30 this morning"
"Ah, well I got into argument with my brother over how I won the game. He always thinks that I'm just a show off I was thinking about winning the game so we won't have to go into overtime cause we didn't have the energy for it. As a matter a fact they're always treat me like a little kid. I'm 17 going on 18 in a few months I'm practically an adult. I've done a lot of things to contribute to the team but that doesn't mean that I can't have fun while I'm doing it. Does that make me immature?"
"I don't think so, there are some 20 something year olds that still act like their shoe size instead of their age but it helps sometimes. I mean I like a good comic book or a dirty joke now and then."
"You do?"
"Yeah not all college students hit the books 24/7."
"Thanks"
*Groans*
"Looks like your friends waking up."
"Trust me, We are not friends."
"What the heck's going on here?" Chameleon say standing up "You had something to do with this didn't ya. "
"Oh yeah, like I had nothing better to do then to have myself and you kidnapped during a fight."
"Don't get smart with me bird-brain."
*scoffs* "If I got smart with you Chameleon how would you know."
Chameleon picks up a rock and throws it up against the glass which activated a purple gas from the vents.
"Way to go lizard lips, You just activated the Knockout gas." said Bast
Everyone started coughing, Nosedive backed up to the center of his enclosure then collapsed 'Wildwing help me' he called out mentally before slipping into unconsciousness.
At the pond
Wildwing was pacing as Tanya was at Drake 1 typing away to try and locate Nosedives Com when a call came in.
"Hello, oh Detective Maza how are you?" Said Tanya
"I fine and you?
"We have a little, you know crisis r-right now."
"What happened?"
"Nosedive is missing?"
"How?"
"While fighting against the saurians"
"Any clues?"
"Just a dart with a mix of animal tranquilizer, hospital sedative and muscle relaxer."
"That's strange."
"Hold on detective let me put you on speaker, now what's strange?
"I'm investigating four strange abductions right now each one with the same MO. According to the reports two assailants are present they fire something at the victim and carries them to a black van. Thankfully we've got blood samples from each dart and found out that these people are 4 of six students that went missing from a Chicago University after a student riot 2 months ago."
"Who are they?" asked Mallory
Let's see here, Ah here we go :
Christopher Montamagny, age 19, Sophomore- Criminal justice
Alexa Porto, Age 18, Freshman-English lit
Joseph Draico, age 20, Freshman-A Psychology student
Emily Roswell, Age 19, Sophomore -A Astrophysics Student.
The other two that are still missing are Michael Ecru, Age 21, Senior- Also Criminal Justice student, and Erin McKnight, Age 19 Senior-An Egyptology Student. All were part of an animal activist group protesting a lab that was testing on animals a couple a trouble starters turned the protest into a riot and they went missing, no one's heard from them since."
"I have a feeling that these disappearances and Nosedive's are connected. We'll keep looking, if we have any leads we'll let you know." Said Tanya
With that Detective Maza hung up.
So what now? Asked Mallory
"There was a security camera near the area where we were if I can get the data off of that we might be able to get a plate number on that van."
"Get on it Tanya, Nosedive's counting on us." said Wildwing
"This has got to be the dumbest idea we ever had teaming up with the ducks." said Siege
"You want to go back to draganus and tell him we can't find Chameleon be my guest." said Wraith
"Never mind."
End of act 2
Sorry it was a little long but it was nessicary to get the back story of Bast in there so now you know. Stay tuned for Act 3
