I don't own the Mighty Ducks.

Mallory looked at the marks on her cell wall telling her how long she had been here. Three weeks now. "Three weeks and it has felt like a year." She said to herself, laughing a little as she did. Three weeks and in that time she broke her wrist, pulled her shoulder out of socket, had her side cut open and stitched up three times now, and she had broken two ribs and punctured a lung. Lucky the pills did their job and she didn't feel the pain but the doctor was right. Mallory had over done it in the last fight. She ripped her stitches again and hurt her ribs. She didn't realize how much pain she was in until the drugs wore off. However realizing that she could have killed herself from those pills helped her come to the decision that she wasn't going to be taking them in the next fight. She took some the night before and timed it. When the fight was approaching she would be coming off the drugs and feel a little numb but be able to tell if she was over doing it.

Ashley agree with her plan, as a warrior it was important that you understood what was happening with your body in a fight, that way you knew when to back off and when go harder. Mallory's and Ashley's next fight was coming up and they felt ready. They were a little tired but they had been up late into the night discussing possible escape plans. Everything seemed to fall through but they weren't giving up. Mallory also still hoped that Kazor would be able to get to her friends and they would come help her and Ashley escape. Then Ashley could join the resistance and the mighty ducks team.

Mallory knew she would get along swimmingly with the others. Nosedive would finally have someone around his age, Tanya would be able to talk shop with her (cause Ashley was very good with technology and machines), Grin... well Grin was Grin, Wildwing would have someone else to help on the ice, Duke would probably hit on her and she would yell at him, and she would have another girl around for shopping and movies. Mallory smiled thinking about all the things she would show her but first thing was first. They had to survive the games.

…..

The next game was the same thing. Mallory and Ashley were back to back defining and attacking, only Mallory didn't have her shield now. Ashley only had her sword and a gun, that it turns out was broken. So being the more experienced fighter Mallory chose hand to hand combat.

The game began again only this time everyone decided to attack Mallory and Ashley first and then they would try to take out each other. The first alien charged Mallory, she used his body weight against him to throw him into one of the electric poles. One down. Ashley slash and cut one down turning to Mallory she saw the Mallory was on the defensive with one guy that was a robot. "Mallory catch!" She threw the sword up in the air to her so that when it came back down Mallory would be able to just grab the handle.

Mallory kicked the robot back and grabbed the sword from the air. She deflected lasers from it's wrist gun with the sword and charged at it. Quick as lightening she cut its head clean off. The robot body kept running around until it ran into a water hole and sunk to the bottom with the dead monster.

Once the sword was out of Ashley's hands she used the same move Mallory did on her charging opponent. Using his body weight against him she threw him over her head into the same pole. Standing up, she dusted off her hands and placed them on her hips. "Ha! That's some move Mallory. Thanks for teaching it to me."

"No problem." Mallory handed Ashley back her sword and they both watch Chargg stand up. Mallory shifted uncomfortably now that she wasn't running around like crazy her ribs were killing her and her wrist was tender but nothing she couldn't handle. At least they were able to fix it quickly and remove the cast, so as to not impeded her movement.

"A special fight had been orchestrated for these two in particular." He pointed down at Mallory and Ashley. Both looked to each other and back at Chargg. "For this fight they both will be fighting... THE BORGE!" The crowds cheered.

"What is the Borge?"

"I don't know but I have a feeling we are not going to like it." Said Mallory watching as a large door the size of a thirty foot building opened slowly. Two big clawed feet where the first thing of this creature that they saw. The door kept going up to show small legs but a big torso with arms that seemed too big for it's body.

This thing smelled horrible, like death and rotten flesh. Ashley started to gag, while Mallory covered her nose, feeling sick. Finally they saw it's head, its jaw jutted too far forward and it's big sharp teeth stuck up from it's lower jaw, broken and cracked. It had one eye that was significantly bigger then the other and it's skin was a dirty red and brown. It looked like some horrible doll that someone had patched together. Walking forward it used its arms mostly for balance. Mallory and Ashley backed up both trying to come up with a plan to beat this thing. "Any ideas?" Ashley asked watching the Borge with wide eyes.

"Not one but I'll let you know when I do. In the meantime RUNNNN!" It brought it's fists up and smashed the ground around where they had just been standing, breaking some of the ice. This thing was so big that if it fell in the water, it would only come up to it's chest... "Well there's a thought." Mallory said to herself.

"What?" asked Ashley.

"What if we make it break the ice so that it falls in. That will give us a better shoot at it's head and possible kill it."

"Well. It's better then nothing."

"You take the right and I'll take the left." Both split up waving their arms above their heads and shouting at it. It looked confused at first but then went for the one closest to it, Ashley. It smashed it's fist into the ice where she was seconds before. Mallory now had caught it's attention. It snarled at her and slammed it's fist down where she had been, breaking more ice around it and throwing large chunks everywhere. Mallory skated in front of it taunting it again. It smashed it's fist into the ground again but this time breaking the ice completely. The ice shattered around it and the monster fell through, water going up to it's shoulders. Mallory skated back from it to get to a safe distance. It was flailing it's long arms every where. Smashing it's fist into the side of the big wall surrounding rink, shaking the ship.

Ashley looked around her trying to find something to attack it with and saw Mallory doing the same only Mallory was checking bodies. Finding a gun and grenades Mallory yelled out to Ashley to get her attention. Ashley ran to her awaiting instructions. "Here take this." She handed Ashley the gun and kept the grenades for herself, trying to ignore the pain from her ribs and lungs.

"Alright now what?"

"You distract it and I'm going to throw this... in isn't mouth." The blond duck looked at her like she was insane. "Are you crazy?!"

"No but we are desperate. So it will have to do." Said Mallory breathing heavily.

"Are you alright Mallory?"

"Yeah fine. Just my ribs are tender but forget about that right now. Start shooting at that thing."

Sighing Ashley went about distracting it by firing at it's face. The ugly thing snarled nastily at her and went to smash her but it was too far and it's arms couldn't reach her, so when it hit the ice, instead of just breaking the area she was standing, it cracked into a large chuck and Ashley was thrown in the air by said chuck that was flipped by the Borge's fist. She sailed high heading right towards the it's head. It opened it's mouth to try and eat her in the air. Instead of going right into it's mouth she landed directly in it's little eye. Bouncing off the slimy surface and falling onto it's shoulder. The thing cried out in pain and held and hand over the injured eye.

Seeing her chance, though not the way she expected, Mallory rushed forward and threw the live grenade in to it's big gaping mouth. The throw hurt her ribs but that was not something she could afford to focus on right now, at least she didn't rip her stitches.

The grenade went in and Ashley dove off of the monster into the water and swam away. Seconds later the grenade went off. They weren't sure that it happened at first but then the Borge slumped forward this head landing on the ice and it's eyes dull. The Borge's large body slipped backwards and down into the water. Red started to flow up for where the grenade had gone off in it's stomach. Finally it's head slipped from the ice and was dragged under by the rest of it hulking body.

Ashley joined Mallory again soaked and in the need of a serious bath. "This water is never going to be the same after your done with it." Mallory laughed at that.

The crowds were roaring and celebrating Mallory's and Ashley's success. "We're going to make it Mallory. We're going to get out of here." Ashley smiled up at the lights imagining them to be the sun.

Mallory nodded. "We are."

…..

That night Mallory went to bed staring at the ceiling of her cell. Wondering where the others were. It was taking too long. Had they given up? Her eyes started drifting closed on her but she wanted to stay awake and think of possible escape plans. Soon she lost the battle and her eyes slide shut.

Later in the evening she was awoken by sounds in the room outside her cell, looking around she got up. "What was that?"

Looking out of her cell, she was greeted but three red eyes. Confused she walked forward and the faces through the bars became visible, Wildwing and Duke. "Guys?" She asked eager and hopeful.

"Shhh Sweetheart we're here to rescue you." Duke brought a finger up to his mouth.

"Are you alright Mallory?" Wildwing asked moving closer to the bars.

"Yeah but where have you guys been. I've tried to escape so many times." Mallory much to her shame began to feel tears fill her eyes. Wildwing looked at her sadly. "And where are the others?" She asked.

Both stepped back to show Tanya working at the control panel and Nosedive and Grin on the look out. "We're here Mal." Nosedive for once didn't seem to be in a joking mood.

"There got it." Tanya whispered her victory and Mallory's bars turned off. The instant the bars were gone Wildwing had Mallory in his arms. "Your safe now Mallory. We're taking you home." Mallory clung to him afraid that he would disappear if she let go. She fought down more of her tears and steadied her breath. "I killed so many to stay alive. So many."

"Shh. It's okay. You'll never have to again. I promise." Wildwing kissed her shoulder and released her from his hug. The other ducks smiled at Mallory.

"Wait we have to get Ashley."

"Who?" said Nosedive.

"Ashley. The duck in that cell." She point to the cell that was across from her own at the sleeping form in it.

Tanya unlocked the cell and Mallory quickly went to wake Ashley up. "Ashley wake up." The blond duck rolled over. "What? Mallory! Your out!"

"Yeah hurry the rest of the team is here, so let's go!" Ashley was up fast. She and Mallory walked out of the cell, ecstatic to be free only to find that the others were suddenly gone.

"What?"

"Mallory I thought you said that the resistance was here."

"They were." Mallory said confused and slightly panicked. "I don't understan-" She turned back around to look at Ashley only to find her not there any more. "Ashley?... What's going on?" The scene suddenly changed to the corridor with the teleporter. "But I was just-"

"Mallory where have you been." Mallory turned around hearing Ashley's voice and was about to ask her what happened with she saw what she looked like. There was a bullet hole in the center of her forehead with blood dripping down. "Why did you kill me Mallory?"

"I DIDN'T! WHAT'S GOING ON?"

Mallory awoke with a start jumping up in her bed and seeing that she was still in her cell. She was dreaming about rescue but it turned into a nightmare. The dream had frightened her. She would never hurt Ashley but what she was doing to survive was wearing away at her conscious. She didn't go into PSF to become a killer, she went in to save people! To protect the people she cared about but this... this was not that. This was murder for entertainment, plain and simple and she felt stained by it. Again she thought about what the others would think of her now. Maybe they saw the things she has done and didn't want to rescue her? That's what was taking so long? They weren't coming? Was that it?
