I don't own the Mighty Ducks.

The next day, Chargg came to visit her cell on his floating throne with Weasel behind him. Mallory sneered at him but he didn't notice or he pretended not to. "What a fight that was! You had me fooled. The crowds they love you! Because of your victory over one of the recent champion of this starship, we will be having a feast in your honor!" He cackled and snorted as he laughed. "And you will be joining. You don't have a choice." He beckoned Weasel forward who smiled smugly at Mallory through her prison bars. His hand brought a gold collar forward. It was made to look like a piece of jewelry but it was to keep her tame. Looking at the inside of it she saw gold spikes that would go directly into her neck once the collar was clasped in place. It wouldn't kill her but it would hurt like hell and blood would flow for a bit.

"No way! You can't make me do anything." Mallory ground her teeth in anger.

"Oh but we can. You are too weak to do anything right now with your injuries and you have been given something to help you, nah ha ha, relax." He snorted at the end of his sentence. Mallory tried to get up to prove him wrong but he was right. She was too drugged to do anything.

"Weasel place that on her." Chargg ordered.

"Aw me? Bu-but-"

"DO IT WEASEL!"

Weasel jumped back from Chargg and stepped cautiously up to her. Mallory's eyes spoke with the promise of pain he would feel in the future if he did it. Wanting to get it over with he put the collar around her neck with shaky hands and snapped it into place. Mallory gasped at the pain of the sharp spikes puncturing her neck. Little rivers of blood poured out around the collar over her neck and shoulders but the flow stopped quickly as the collar started doing it's job.

"Now that the collar is attached, neh he he he." He snorted mid sentence. "We should go over some... ground rules." He snorted again. "If you try to remove that collar, he he, you will tear out your own throat. Neh he he." Mallory listened carefully, not wanting to cause her own death when she just barely escaped with her life.

"Secondly, that collar has a remote to it that will shock you and cause great pain if you choose to... misbehave. He he. So be on your best behavior at this party. Don't reject dance partners."

Mallory growled to herself wanting nothing more then to slap the fat fool. Chargg turned his chair away and floated back the way he came. The doctor cleaned Mallory up while she laid there. Unable to fight it any longer. Mallory's eyes drifted closed for a well deserved nap.

…..

Later, found Mallory tired and sore but dressed and ready for the party. Or as ready as she could be when she was being forced to go with healing ribs and wrist. Her side was stitched up and healing well thanks to the doctor's technology. They had her dressed in a long evening gown that looked like it was made by an alien. It was made from large emerald green feathers and silks. The dress clung to her body like a second skin, feathers and all. Except for towards the bottom of the dress where the feathers dragged the floor around her feet, getting longer going towards the back, acting like a train. There were long feathers going up the front of the dress and making intricate patterns, ending so that the very top of the feathers ended over her breast. They were fitted and pressed down onto the bustier of the dress that hugged her chest and gave her great cleavage. Most of the bustier was silk with feathers pressed down and splayed over it. The dress was gorgeous and well made but she did feel a little like a peacock in it. Her fiery hair was pulled up into a bun and her makeup was black cat eyes with a little of a tan sparkling shadow over her lids. She was gorgeous. To complete the look and not make the gold collar around her neck too obvious, she was giving gold matching jewelry for her wrists.

She sat waiting to be picked up from the room she had been moved to while she slept. It was like an Egyptian queen's room. Gold and silk everywhere. With strange statues of creatures that she didn't know existed.

With some time on her hands, Mallory thought about her team and Buzz. Was Buzz safe? Was he able to get to Wildwing? If so were they just unable to come and save her? So many questions.

The door to her rooms were unlocked from the outside and in came Chargg on his chair and Weasel with a plethora of guards around them. "Time to go to the party. Neh he he." Mallory stood and walked behind him to the party thinking about how she could just kick him right in the back of the head right now and it would be worth it... Actually why not. Mallory moved forward prepared to hit him but Chargg knew she would do this. He hit a button on the remote and Mallory fell to her knees clutching her neck in pain. It had release electricity directly into her neck. She growled and glared up at him when it was done shocking her, fighting the urge to strangle the fat alien. "You fat piece of- ahhh!" She cried out as he electrocuted her again.

"Be silent! I warned you didn't I Mallory. Neh he heh." Chargg chuckled. Weasel laughed outright, his shaky, high pitched voice reprimanding her. "That's what you get for insulting emperor Chargg." She sent him a look that had sent him running to hide behind the fat emperor's chair.

After that Mallory didn't attempt anymore attacks. She would need to get that control from him first. Walking down the hall Mallory took in her surroundings, all around were images of her fights, posters of her kill. Even some live action tv clips showing the kill over and over again. It was meant to show the winners skill and spread their fame but to Mallory it was just rubbing salt in an open wound. It taunted her that she had killed someone and she felt incredibly ill seeing herself on the screen like that. She had barely recognized herself. What would the others think of her?

In the hall that held the celebration, long tables sat on either side of the emperor's table, which sat above everyone's and had the most food on it. Mallory was happy that she didn't have to sit next to Chargg while he ate, he was disgusting. People surrounded her wanting to talk to her or touch her. When she first had gone to scold someone for putting their hands on her, she was electrocuted by Weasel. He waved the controls at her and Chargg laughed while stuffing his face then grabbed the collar control back from Weasel. Oh how she hated them. After that she sat there while her feathers and skin was rubbed raw on her arms and shoulders.

The music started playing and almost everyone got up to dance. Mallory stayed seated not wanting anything to do with this when a white feathered hand entered her vision. She froze and her heart raced. Was it him? Had Wildwing come to save her? She thought that he would but she didn't think that he would be this fast. Hope filled her as she looked up about to smile when she was greet with the face of some unknown duck. Her face didn't show her disappointed but she felt crushed. "May I have this dance?" She felt numb as she placed her hand in his. Knowing she would get shocked again if she said no, she allowed the unknown male to pull her across the dance floor. He pulled her close, looking at her face. "Why do you do this?"

His question surprised her. "I don't have a choice. I'm Chargg's prisoner." "For the moment." She added in her head. The male seem surprised by this. Most came to do this kind of thing for fame. After dancing around with the duck for a while he kept leaning in closer to her. He would ask questions like what was her favorite food or what were her hobbies. Her answers were short and quick, hoping he would get the message that she didn't want to talk. When the song was finally done she went to walk away only for him to grab her uninjured wrist. It took everything in her not to twist his arm behind his back. "Just one moment. Please let me bring you back to your table." She allowed him to, knowing it would keep others off for the time being but when they arrived at her seat, Chargg was there waiting.

"I see you have met our winner, Gerard. Well? He neh he. What do you think?" Mallory wasn't sure what was happening but watched them both, trying to figure out where this was going. "Do you want her?" Mallory looked sharply at Chargg hearing this.

"Most definitely. The price for one night was ten million, yes?"

"Correct."

"I'll have the money for you tonight. Send her to my rooms tomorrow night." He looked Mallory over with lust. Again she felt a feeling she was becoming quiet familiar with fill her, disgust. He left Mallory with Chargg who laughed and snorted.

"What the hell was that?" She glared down at the fat alien.

"Don't you know?" Weasel spoke up. "Many people here will be willing to pay a lot of money to sleep with winners!" Weasel smiled at the horror on Mallory's face. "No doubt you will have more business then any other ever." He laughed at the end of his sentence. She clenched her fists and looked around the room. True to what he said, she most likely would, others stared at her hungrily. She had to stop this from happening. She would rather be dead then forced to sell her body for some ugly fat alien who thought of everyone as mere toy to break when they were no longer useful. Grabbing the knife off the table she moved faster then anyone could predict and stabbed the emperor in the neck.

The fat alien screamed and back his chair away as Mallory was tackled by guards. "KILL HER! KILL HER!" She fought them off and grabbed the remote control from Chargg, making a run for it. "If I can get back to that teleporter then I can get back to earth! I remember the code Tanya put in to get to that factory!" Mallory ran over tables, breaking dishes and scaring everyone in her way. People dashed away from her, afraid to be caught in the line of fire or by her fury. After all, they had seen how dangerous she was. Her face was posted on walls and posters in the ship, announcing her fame as one of the best killers in the dome.

Watching Mallory run away through the crowd of people was like watching the red sea part. They all moved out of her way and flowed back to the center of the room behind her. Wanting to get a look at her in action as she ran. Weasel made his way over to the crying emperor who was being tended to by the nurses. "She stabbed me Weasel!" He cried to his servant.

"She will pay emperor but make her pay another way. Don't just kill her."

"Why? Why shouldn't I!?" Chargg raised his fist in the air.

"Because she will suffer more at the hands of her opponents in the ring. Put her in fight after fight. Don't give her a moment to breath! Run her into the ground! Make her beg for forgiveness!" Chargg finally stopped crying his one large eye shiny but drying. He then smiled and started to snort. "Yes Weasel... I think you're right. That is a much better plan." Chargg looked over at his captain of the guard. "You have a chance to redeem yourself Orgg. Capture her alive." The large red saurian nodded and went off with many guards after Mallory.

Down in the corridors Mallory was starting to recognize the way to the teleporter. She pushed her legs hard to gain distance between her and the guards attempting to pursue her but the crowds of people trying to see her run had slowed them to almost a stop, giving her a lot of time to get away. She turned a corner and saw it ahead. "YES! I"m going to make it!" She could cry she was so happy to see it. Typing in the code to Earth's coordinates, she paused thinking about Kazor. "I can't just leave him." Looking back and forth between the teleporter and the corridor that she knew lead to the holding cells where Kazor was, she tried to figure out what she should do. "Damn my bleeding heart!" She dashed down the corridor with the remote control to her collar still in hand.

Arriving she found Kazor sitting in his cell, guarded by two lions. Mallory attacked, taking them by surprise and using their own weapons against them to knock them out. Her dress had ripped by her legs allowing her to better maneuver and fight. Mallory opened his cell and Kazor grabbed one of the guards weapons.

"Come on! We must get to the teleporter!" Kazor growled, getting down to business. They ran back the way Mallory came. Kazor was in the lead but he suddenly stopped and grabbed Mallory around the waist pulling her into a side vent in the ship just as guards ran past them. They both waited a moment, squished into the narrow vent listening to the stampede of feet as guards ran by. Mallory's head to pushed into Kazor's chest and he kept one arm around her and one on the gun he was carrying, ready to shoot anyone that found them in there. After a few moments all was silent again. Kazor looked around the corner and nodded, he slipped out with Mallory and they continued back to the teleporter.

They finally arrived after ducking guards and hiding behind corners. Kazor put in a new code. "This will take us back to the resistance I lead. Come with me. We can get you home with a teleporter back on that planet." Mallory nodded, any place was better then here. Kazor opened the door when he was shot in the side. Mallory jumped back stunned, seeing his blood paint the door to the teleporter. She turned just in time to see Orgg spin around, smacking her with his large red tail and sending her skidding across the hall. Kazor attempted to attack only to be punched repeatedly and brought down to his knees. Orgg pulled out a knife and stabbed down at Kazor, intending to go into his neck but missing and hitting his shoulder instead. Still he had cut a major artery. Kazor was going to die if he didn't get help soon.

Seeing that Kazor was not much of a threat now Orgg went after Mallory next, who had just gotten to her feet. He ran at her and grabbed her by the neck, lifting her in the air and pinning her to the wall. He laughed in her face as she struggled to get his large hand off of her neck to no avail.

"Ha ha ha." Orgg brought his face in close to Mallory's baring his teeth at her. "Scream for me little duck." He ran his fingers down her face in a possessive manner. He pulled her against him and smiled down at her. Mallory kicked and punched where she could only to have him slam her back against the wall hard. He laughed in her face as he tighten his hand around her throat. Mallory's vision was starting to darken around the edges and her lungs burned from lack of oxygen. "No! I'm so close to home!" She cried out in her mind.

Orgg move his face forwards to hers and snaked out his tongue to lick her face, only for his eyes to go wide and his grip on her neck to release. She dropped to the floor coughing and breathing in the air her lungs had been deprived of. She looked up to find Kazor had stabbed the large saurian in the side with the dagger that was in his shoulder. Kazor was in bad shape. "On your feet soldier." He said to her while watching Orgg stumble about.

Mallory jumped up ready to leave. "You need emergency care Kazor!"

"I'll get it in a matter of seconds when we get out of here. The only thing is that I will now have to change the code to take me directly to our camp, once I use this teleporter they will know excatly where our secret base is... unless one of us stays to destroy it the key pad."

Mallory stood there understanding the gravity of the situation, looking over at Orgg to see him stumbling away from them to get help. If they used that teleporter and Chargg saw the coordinates, he would send troops to massacre many innocent people. Sighing and resigning herself to her fate Mallory nodded. "Alright go back to your people. I will stay here and destroy the teleporter panel."

Kazor's eyes widen in disbelief. "What?!"

"If I don't then everyone down there will die. Go Kazor, get fixed up and find my friends."

"Wait! There is another teleporter not far from here. Go down that corridor and stay to the right. Keep following the black piping above you. It will lead you to it." Mallory nodded.

Kazor nodded back and walked into the teleporter. "I will never forget this and I will find your friends. Just don't die." Mallory closed the door behind him and activated the teleporter, sending him off. Grabbed the gun from the ground that he dropped she shot the control panel, completely destroying it. The thing was fried, no one would get information from that.

Chargg was coming down the corridor on his chair with Weasel following him. "Do not let her escape!" Seeing him coming she shot at them coming down the hall, hoping to hit Chargg but his guards jumped in the way of her shoots and more kept flooding around him. Mallory quit while she was ahead and ran for the other teleporter. Following Kazor's instructions, she made it there in no time. Putting in the code quickly she jumped into the teleporter after she hit the activation button. The door closed far too slowly in front of her as Chargg's guards ran down towards her. "Come on! Hurry up!" She screamed at it.

The door finally closed and the teleporter was loud as it charged up. She prepared herself for teleportation and finally it shot beams out that surrounded her, making her feathers stand on end. Charggs face was one of rage as she disappeared.

Moments later she found herself back in the very same factory that Dragaunus had taken over when they were gone. She was back! She escaped! She smiled to herself happy to be free. Mallory fell to her hands and knees, so happy she could kiss the ground she was on. The human factory workers looked at her unsure of what just happened. Some scratching their heads and shrugging their shoulders.

Getting to her feet she went to try her com unit only to realize that it was back on Chargg's ship. Oh well, looks like she was walking. Making her way to the large doors of the factory, she didn't notice the flash of light behind her until men started screaming and she was hit hard in the side by her healing ribs. She cried out as she fell. Looking back behind her to find Orgg with at least twelve guards with him. That would leave a big signal. Drake One would pick it up and the others would come running! She just had to avoid capture long enough for back up to arrive. They would need at least five to ten minutes to get here. She could do it!

Running for cover Mallory intended to out maneuver them. She made it behind a large metal door, using it as cover while she fired at the lion guards who were trying to move in on her position. She was going to make it. She kept them occupied as she shoot at them and they advanced slowly on her position.

Then she froze, hearing the familiar sounds of the Migator's engines approaching fast. Her heart started racing in excitement she was going to make it! She could see it pull up out front and made a dash for it.

Large hands were on her shoulders before she could process what was happening and she lifted into the air high above and thrown down harshly onto the floor, making her drop the remote for the collar. Her healing ribs, broken wrist, and tender shoulder screamed at her, but now to add onto it her back was killing her and she had the wind knocked out of her. Mallory gasped for breath as she tried to get her lungs working again. Orgg grabbed her off the ground and threw her over his shoulder. "Time to go little duck." Tears came to Mallory's eyes as she heard the footsteps of her team approaching and Wildwing giving out orders. She tried to scream only she couldn't get the air to do it. Attempting to hit Orgg's back or kick him was useless, he was too large and too strong and she could still barely breath. The ducks had engaged some of the lion guards in battle but some where still making their way over towards where she was. She wanted to called out so badly and her lungs wouldn't work properly. It was only after she coughed up blood that she realized a rib had punctured her lung.

Orgg activated his personal teleproter. They glowed yellow as they disappeared from Earth. The other ducks ran in just in time to see a large yellow light disappear. She was so close and now the chances of them finding her again was gone. The yellow light around her vanished and she found herself surrounded by lion guards and the dark grey metal walls of the ship.

Chargg laughed at her attempted escape. "So much for that. I am not pleased with you. You ruined my ten million deal with that other duck. No matter. We'll get our moneys worth with you on the rink. He neh he. Take her to her cell and have a doctor fix her up for the next fights. He he. Rest while you can. He he he, It will be the last time you do." Chargg snorted and laughed as he moved down the halls of his ship in his chair.

Mallory barely heard a would he said. Her eyes burned with tears that she had been fighting but she couldn't anymore. The situation seemed hopeless and she had been so close to home and rescue. Her vision became watery and finally the tears slipped down her face. Orgg carried her back to her cell and threw her down on the floor in the middle of it, she spit blood as she landed. The doctor was there, she rushed to her side and began giving out orders to nurses near by. Apparently they needed to perform surgery. Slowly Mallory's world grew dark and she let herself fade into the blackness as others around her worked to save her life. Only so that it could be taken in the rink... only for that.
