I don't own Mighty Ducks.

Mallory was patched up and placed in a new cell, chained to the wall. When the guards came to escort her back to her cell, she attack them. The crowd was going mad, booing and throwing rocks and other objects at Emperor Chargg. Mallory had started riots. So they felt that they needed to take extra precaution and she was chained to the wall by her hands and feet like an animal.

She heard foot steps and voices out in the hall. "Your sure you want to do this Lord Dragaunus? He he. She is dangerous."

"Yes I wouldn't miss this opportunity for the world." Mallory bared her teeth at the lizard. He walked in looking far too smug. "I so enjoyed your show Mallory. I'm sure the ducks will too. I'm be sure to send Wildwing copies." Mallory attempted to attack Dragaunus but she could only get so far.

"I'll rip your throat out with my bare teeth!"

"Oh my! I heard this place turned people into animals but I had no idea how true that was. Hahahaha!" And to think its only be a month and one week. Mallory froze at that. "What?"

"You've been here a that long. Those times that you had reprieve to sleep was because Chargg had to find warriors to fight you. Not because it was night time. At one point you had been fighting for three days straight. But that was the longest. Your are very impressive. PSF must have been so proud when they made you. Your fights were vicious and brutal. Your a real monster. Ha ha ha. I'll be sure to send those video's off to Wildwing as well. He has been looking so hard for you. He even tried to steal our teleporters."

The Chameleon shifted nervously behind him. Mallory watched him with careful eyes. Siege and Wraith also looked worried for a moment but hide it quickly. Mallory actually laughed outright. His own men lied to him. Wildwing and the others did steal their teleporters.

Mallory laughed like she was mad. Dragaunus was confused by this. "What's so funny?"

Her eyes cut to him, a cold and full of danger, making Dragaunus take a step back. "Your just such a fool! Ha ha. No wonder you lose all the time. When I get out of here the violence that you saw on the ice this going to be nothing compared to what I'm going to do to you... your better off killing me now while you have the chance." Mallory taunted him, daring him to come closer. Even chained to the wall she was like a snake ready to strike.

Dragaunus stared at her for a moment before smiling at her again. "I do love your ferocity. It makes for a good killer don't you agree?" He snapped his fingers and the chains tightened and Mallory was pulled completely back to the wall, unable to move anything but her head. Dragaunus walked forward and grabbed her chin harshly, digging his claws into her face. "Your never going to get out of here. I'm going to make sure of that. Your going to die on the ice just like that pathetic blond duck you were so attached to." Mallory moved faster then he could predict and bite into his hand. Dragaunus yelled out and backhanded her hard across the face. Mallory saw stars but it was worth it. Tasting the blood in her mouth she knew it was Dragaunus's. Looking at his hand that was dripping from where she bite him she confrimed that she was right. Chuckling she spit out his blood at him. "You even taste like trash."

This time Siege's fist collided with her stomach, over and over until Mallory felt like she would throw up. "Gonna talk tough now?" Siege got in her face. Mallory just looked up and spit blood at him as well. Hitting him right in the eye. "You filthy-!"

"Enough Siege! It's time to go." Dragaunus ordered. "Besides, I have plans for her." Dragaunus walked out with his henchmen following him. Chameleon was the only one to stop and look back at Mallory. Her eyes seemed as if they could look down into his soul and tear out his darkest secrets and expose him nightmares. She was intimidating to him before but she outright frightened him now. She seemed meaner now. This was not the same duck from before that was sure.

…..

Finally Mallory was released from her chains and sent back to her old cell. Looking out across the way at Ashley's empty cell only made Mallory feel more alone then ever. Ashley was gone and she wasn't strong enough to stop it. Even thinking about it now brought tears to Mallory's eyes.

By her calculations if what Dragaunus told her was true then Mallory had been working along side Ashley for three weeks. In that time Ashley had become one of her best friends and a source of hope. Their companionship with each other helped them get through the fights and the nightmares that they both suffered from. Mallory remembered one night where she had awaken from a nightmare about the fights and was almost panicked. Having a hard time breathing and couldn't settle herself down but Ashley had called out to her and assured her that she was there and that they were both safe. She would often tell Ashley about her nightmares or her dreams to pass the time. The dreams that she hated the most were the ones of her and Ashley being rescued.

The dreams would always be of the other ducks coming to rescue her and Ashley then taking them back to Earth but waking up to find that she was still locked away in her cell, always left her heart broken and depressed. Her hopes and happiness crushed by the waking world around her.

When she had first arrived she had hoped to escape or at least be saved in a week. How naive. What a fool. To make it worse Dragaunus was taking it upon himself to visit her often now. Tormenting her with news of her teams inability to save her. He even boosted about getting front row seats to her fights, watching and waiting for her to die.

Mallory stared off into space, lost in her own thoughts. "They have the teleporters but they have no way of knowing where I am. They need to have an exact location to put in the teleporter or else they would end up out in the middle of space. No... there will be no rescue for me. I'm on my own. I will never see their faces again."

Orgg choose that moment to step in front of her cage, some of the guards were surrounding him. He just stared at her for a moment, letting his eyes trace her curves. "Time to go little duck."

Mallory allowed herself to be escorted by Orgg and a dozen guards to the rink. Another fight another day.

…..

Out on the rink most of the opponents were down except one but he was knocked out quickly by Mallory. The cheers from the crowds were loud but not as loud as it used to be. Many had stopped coming to the games after Ashley's death on the ice and Mallory anguish.

The lion guards ran onto the ice and surrounded her. Waiting for Chargg to give the okay to take her off the ice or kill her. Of course he gave a thumbs up telling them that she was to live. Mallory walked off the rink surrounded by guards. A couple people where able to jump in to hang all over her and kissing the side of her face before they were grabbed off by the guards and pushed back into the crowds.

Mallory just ignored the people like she always did until she thought she saw a familiar face. Stopping she snapped her head back in the direction of the duck she thought she recognized. Searching the crowds of screaming fans again Mallory looked for the blond team tech only to find that it was not her. Just some duck that had the same hair style. Numbly Mallory turned back and started walking back until she spotted someone else that looked like another teammate, a large white feathered duck wearing a white jacket standing next to a long haired blond duck. Once again it turned out to be not them. "Why do I look for them still? I thought I stopped doing this... Their not coming. Stop it Mallory!"

She was taken back to her cell for the night, where she dreamed of the faces of her teammates and a young blond duck that she failed to protect.

…..

Mallory once again woke up in the middle of the night from her dreams. Tonight her dream was mainly focused around Wildwing. The last thing she saw in her dream was his eyes behind the mask. She opened her eyes and looked out of her cell. There in front of her the bars stood two red eyes. Her groggy mind tried to understand what she was seeing until she realized that is was Orgg standing there, watching her sleep.

"Nightmares little duck?" He laughed.

Mallory just ignored him and rolled over, her back facing him.

"Want to know something interesting?" He teased from the other side of the electric bars but Mallory continued to ignore him. "Kazor attempted to come back for you." That made Mallory sit up and look at him. "Oh I see I have your attention now. Yes, Kazor was on this ship with some men but he failed and fled with his tail between his legs." Orgg came closer to the bars. "Your never leaving this ship. No matter how many they send for you. I won't let you leave."

"Why? What could you possibly gain by me being here?"

"I'd miss you." He laughed at his own joke and walked away. Mallory spent the rest of the night staring at the ceiling. "Kazor came for me? He is alive then...Was he able to bring the others?"

…..

The next day, the fight had not gone as well as Mallory had hoped it would. She was out numbered six to one. She won but was stabbed in the shoulder with a long blade. Walking off the ice, Mallory prepared herself for going past the crazy crowds, not noticing the grey duck with what looked like an eye patch watching her in the front row. As she walked past him, he made his move. Acting like a crazed fan, jumped up next to her and hugged her to him.

"We're getting you out of here Sweetheart." Mallory was about to push the duck off but froze. Duke?

The duck that she thought was Duke was shoved back by guards but more people attempted to jump in on her. Moving Mallory more quickly the guards got her out of there while she tried to search the crowds for the duck that she thought she heard. They took her to a dark cell, one that was used when Dragaunus wanted to talk to her. It was cold, dark, and had chains in the middle of the room for holding more violent prisoners captive. With some struggling, the guards chained her up and left her to wait for her unwelcome visitor.

Dragaunus stepped in looking more smug then usual.

"Fucking pest." Mallory spat at him.

"I do so enjoy our chats, Mallory. Your vocabulary grows more interesting every time I see you." Dragaunus took a seat across from her.

"What do you want this time your rat with scales?"

Dragaunus's nostrils flared, smoke came out of them and his eyes glowed yellow. He was able to control his anger and calm down, going back to being smug. "Do you like your knew residence? They are what I picked out for you. After all, I chose how you are to be treat since I own you now."

Mallory stared at him, wondering if this was a sick joke. "Oh yes. You didn't know. I just bought you from Chargg."

Mallory's eyes widened at that bombshell. "What.."

"That's right. I bought you slave. Your my fighter in the rink and from now on and you will be fighting until you drop dead from exhaustion."

"What more can Chargg do to me?" She thought to herself grimly. The thought of being owned by Dragaunus was repulsive.

"That reminds me. The price included this..." He pulled out the collar that Chargg put on her for the party. "He said that this would keep you in line." He leaned forward to snapped the collar harshly onto her neck. She pulled her head back and snapped at him.

"Don't even think of putting that thing on me!" She bared her teeth at him, but Dragaunus only laughed.

"And what are you going to do about it?"

Mallory attempted to move away but guards came in and restrained her while Dragaunus snapped the collar into place. It stung and Mallory wanted to scream but wouldn't give him the satisfaction of hearing her pain.

"There it fits perfectly. How lovely." He stood up and grabbed her chin roughly forcing her to look at him. "Now that my pet birdie has had her wings clipped, it is time for me to depart. Do enjoy your night... Oh and one more thing." He hit the button that told the collar to electrocute her. Mallory ground her teeth together still refusing to cry out. "That was for calling me a rat with scales." He walked out and left Mallory hanging there. "I hope you like your new permanent accommodations."

Once Dragaunus was gone and her cell door was closed, the chains loosed and she was able to move around fairly freely. "How can this get any worse?" She thought as she looked at her already chaffing wrists and ankles. Listening to make sure Dragaunus was far away, she pressed her mouth into the crock of her arm and muffled her enraged and anguished scream. There seemed to be no end to this nightmare.

…..

Wildwing and Nosedive where off to the side, watching the crazy crowd trying to get to Mallory, who was searching the crowd for Duke. Duke was making his way back to where Tanya and Grin were waiting.

Kazor and some of his men in disguise where standing close to Tanya's and Grin's back. They had been reeking havoc on Chargg's ship and pushing the anti game groups. Posting pictures of Mallory holding the young blond duck on the ice while screaming. Large red words like "Stop these cruel games" or "To watch is to promote murder for sport" was painted across the pictures. So far it had been working, many had stopped going but it didn't completely cut them off. A good amount of people still went and it was enough to keep the games going for now. Soon Chargg would have to find a new source for money and he would most likely try other underhanded things to get it.

"This is gonna be harder then we first thought bro." Nosedive glared at the crowd. Wildwing was also glaring at them but turned his head back in the direction Mallory had departed in. She looked exhausted and beaten. He didn't know what had been happening to her but it was clear by looking at her that Mallory had suffered greatly at Chargg's hands. He was afraid that after this Mallory would never be the same again.

"It will but we will do it. No matter what it takes." Wildwing stated. "I will save you Mallory. I promise."

…..

Mallory sat in her cell after Dragaunus's visit with the chains chaffing her wrist and ankles, wondering if she had imagined what had just happened while walking through the crowd. "Was that really Duke? Are they really here? Or is this just me imagining things again." She laid back as the doctor pushed her back on the hard metal floor by her uninjured shoulder.

"Just lay back. I need to stitch this up."

"After all of this is done, do you think that it is possible to get rid of the scars from this?"

The doctor nodded her head. "Yes it's definitely possible. The only thing you will have a scar from is the wound that you opened up over and over. Your species heals easily and your feathers will cover most of the damage done to your skin underneath, so it will look like you are untouched by a blade... Even that side wound." The doctor's yellow hands worked quickly to shut the wound on her shoulder. She pulled out a tool that looked like a high tech pen from her equipment bag. Pointing at her shoulder she closed the skin and only left a red mark from where the opening in the wound used to be. Once the doctor was all done, she packed up and left Mallory to rest.

Mallory continued to contemplated whether or not she had imagined Duke being there. It wouldn't be the first time that she had hallucinated seeing one of her friends in the crowd. Oh stars she missed them but Duke in the crowd had most likely been another hallucination.

"Whatever it won't matter tomorrow. Tomorrow Chargg will die and then so will I." Mallory was tired. She had been fighting intense battles everyday for hours on end for a month straight. No one could keep this up forever. She was going to lose and it would be soon, so she had to do something. "I'd rather die fighting then live on my knees." And that was exactly what she planned to do.

…..

Mallory walked out onto the rink. She was tired, her chains didn't allow her to sleep and her collar would shock her through out the night. Clearly Dragaunus wanted to make sure that she did not sleep either.

As she moved to the center of the rink the crowds got more rowdy and Mallory started making her plans to kill Chargg. He was protected by a force field but if she could get a hold of one of the guards electrical spears then she could use it to break the shield. She just had to beat all of the guards without getting too badly injured.

The fight commenced as usual and as usual she was able to beat all the fighters. The lion guards were getting ready to come out on the ice. That was when Mallory made her move. She dashed up the steps. A couple of lion guards got in her way but she was hoping for that. Knocking them out and grabbing their guns and one spear with the electrical end. Mallory charged with the electric spear and shoved it hard into the shield surrounding Chargg. The fat alien laughed thinking that her trying to get to him was hopeless. The force field sent electricity back at her, trying to push Mallory off but the more she was shocked the harder she pressed. Waves of pain went through her as she was electrocuted but the force field but it started to buckle and Chargg's face turned to one of horror when the shield finally came down. She could smell her hot skin and feathers. Likely the avian species was able to withstand electricity better then most allowing her to take damage over a longer period of time, but it still hurt.

Some guards around Chargg rushed her but Mallory deflected their spears and dispatched of them quickly. Twirling her spears expertly she slashed at them, sending blood spraying across her face and the ground. Another came at her and she side stepped him and cut downwards deep into his back. Turning around she ran up the steps, her eyes trained with deadly intent on Chargg.

Chargg panicked and screamed for his guards but Mallory had already dealt with all of them. Weasel ran away leaving Chargg at Mallory's mercy in his slow chair. She was in front of him faster then he could move his fat hands to the control panel. Pointing the spear at his heart Mallory was prepared to kill him.

"Are you ready to die?" She watched his face with cold, uncaring eyes.

"Wait! I will send you back to your friends!"

"Lies. You would just come for me again." Mallory's grip tightened around the spear, turning her knuckles white.

"No I wouldn't! I give you my word!" Chargg was about to become frantic until he saw Orgg sneaking up on Mallory. Chargg smirked behind Mallory. She ducked his fist just in time and jumped back but she wasn't quite quick enough as his sharp claws cut in a diagonal over her right ribs and down to her left hip. They went right through her purple suit and if she hadn't been moving back, his claws would have hit vital organs. She twirled her spear around her and fought Orgg off while Chargg was trying to make his escape. Stabbing Orgg in the thigh Mallory momentarily disable him and tossed her spear down the corridor at Chargg's escaping form. Her spear went right through his chair and out of his chest. Stopping the fat alien from going any further. Mallory ran up to him and faced him. Seeing him choking on his own blood, much like Ashley had been. This was still heal-able for them though, she had to finish the job. Grabbing the spear from behind his chair she pulled it out and walked to the front of him again. Seeing Orgg still down and slowly making his way to her, Mallory took her time.

"I beat you wish you had never laid eyes on me now." The fat alien glared at her while choking. Mallory brought the spear back and swung like a long sword, it took Chargg's head clean off and threw it back to the stairs, just far enough so that it would tumble down on it's own. The crowds screamed and ran seeing Charrg's head slowly bounce down the large stairs and slide onto the ice leaving a red trail behind it.

Mallory used Chargg's personal exit and made a run for the teleporters. Orgg followed sluggishly behind her, his injured leg stopping him from being able to pursue her like normal. "MAALLLLOORRRYYYY!" He yelled out in anger as she disappeared from sight. Mallory was getting close to the teleporter when her collar went off and brought her to her knees. This shock was worse then anything that she had ever gotten before. She actually felt like this might kill her, it held her captive and didn't allow her body to move except for the spasms of pain cause by her nerves being attacked. Guards were surrounding her while she was held in place by the collar, twitching on her knees. Orgg limped forward with Weasel not far behind him. She had almost forgotten about Weasel. He had to go too.

"Tie her up and take her back to her cell. We'll figure out what to do with her after." Her collar finally stopped going off and Mallory was grabbed and chained. She saw Dragaunus standing off to the side laughing as she was taken away. She started struggling again to try and attack Dragaunus but Orgg hit her in the back of the head hard knocking her out. The last thing she saw before her vision darkened was Dragaunus's laughing face.
