I don't own the Mighty Ducks
When the ducks awoke they found themselves in a circular cell, chained up by their hands and feet along the wall.
"Where are we?" Nosedive asked, trying to clear the fog from his head by shaking it back and forth.
"Captured." Wildwing said, searching to find a way out. "Duke can you pick the locks?"
"Yeah I'm workin' on it." Duke looked up at his wrists where he was picking his lock with a jagged metal needle.
Checking that everyone was here Wildwing did his usual call outs. "Any damage?" Everyone gave a negative.
"Well at least there is that." Said Mallory.
"I'm sorry guys. I didn't realize he was in the plane until it was too late." Tanya whimpered.
"It's alright Tanya. We'll get out of this." Wildwing reassured her.
"Got one down." Said Duke. He paused though when he heard footsteps coming down the hall. Quickly he hid his needle and made it look like both of his wrists were still cuffed.
The door to the cell was suddenly opened and all of the ducks turned to find Dragaunus and Orgg standing there. "Welcome. I do hope you like the accommodations." Dragaunus laughed, looking at Wildwing. "Well this has been a long time coming hasn't it Wildwing." Wildwing bared his teeth at Dragaunus who laughed in his face. Turning his head to Mallory he side stepped Wildwing to stand in front of her. "And look at this. My property had come back to me. Ha ha ha."
Mallory glared but didn't say anything. Dragaunus grabbed her face turning her head harshly from side to side, as if inspecting an object. "Not too badly damaged but I can fix that." Dragaunus smacked her hard. Mallory's head flew to the side with the hit.
"BASTARD!" Wildwing yanked on his chains but it was no good.
"YOU COWARD! HIT A LADY WHEN SHE TIED UP!" Duke yelled, angry at seeing his teammate abused. Especially Mallory, she had been through enough.
Grin struggled in his chains but didn't say a word, his fists would do the talking.
"YOU UGLY SAURIAN!" Nosedive yelled.
Orgg walked in behind Dragaunus and punch Nosedive in the stomach, a couple of times. Making him couch and gag. Wildwing was getting more and more pissed with ever second but he needed to calm down or Dragaunus might kill one of his teammates for the fun of it.
"Now, now Orgg. There is no need for that. After all. We have all the time in the world to torture them but first I want them to see me conquer the world. Then we'll take a trip back to Puckworld to finish what I started and we can start killing them one by one until only Wildwing is left. By that time I'll have Mallory's mind so warped with torture that I'll have her kill him herself. Ha ha ha. What do you say my dear?" He looked back at Mallory, who spat in his face, effectively stopping his laughing.
Orgg looked between Dragaunus and Mallory wondering what would happen. Dragaunus wiped his face off in disgusted. "You filthy creature!" He backhanded her twice but other than that nothing. Mallory didn't give any indication that it hurt. Wildwing could tell Mallory was going to spit on Dragaunus again so he intervened. Not wanting to see her abused.
"Enough Mallory." He looked at her, demanding her to listen. Mallory did as told but continued to glare.
"Oh my! What a good pet she is for you. I'll bet she'll roll over if you tell her to." Dragaunus laughed again but Mallory didn't react which made him laugh more. "I've amused myself long enough. Oh and don't worry Mallory. I haven't forgotten about branding you as my property. Just in case you were worried. Can't have you going around without some sort of mark of ownership now can I?" He walked out with his hands behind his back, looking particularly pleased with himself.
Orgg followed and closed the door behind him but not before smirking cruelly at Mallory. "See you later little duck." Mallory just ignored him as the door slammed closed.
All was quiet until the sound of hissing drew their attention. Tanya gasped. "It-it's what ya call it, sleep gas!" The room was filled with the gray gas. Everyone watched the gas fill the room,unable to do anything to stop it or escape it. Once by one each duck fell unconscious.
…..
"Wake up Mallory." Mallory twitched. Wondering who was calling her. "Mallory. Please wake up. He'll kill you if you don't. You have to do something!" Mallory slowly lifted her head to find Ashley standing in front of her.
"Ashley?"
"Keep fighting! Remember your promise to me! Please keep fighting." Ashley smiled at Mallory and brought her hand up to brush some of Mallory's hair out of her face. Mallory looked at her in wonder but whimpered when Ashley's image started to fade.
"Ashley don't leave!"
"You need to wake up now!"
Mallory jumped awake to someone playing with her hair. Her eyes adjusted to the low light and found Orgg standing in front of her. "Hello Little Duck. You ready to scream for me." He leaned in and wrapped his large hand around her neck, slowly squeezing down on it. Looking around herself she found the other ducks were still out, she was on her own with Orgg, just like before. Shifting to the side she kicked out at Wildwing, hoping to wake him but when she hit his leg she couldn't tell if it did anything.
Orgg's hand tightened around her throat and Mallory coughed and choked. Trying desperately to get some air.
Wildwing came to from the feeling of his leg being kicked, the sound of choking and gasping filled the room. He turned to find Orgg standing over Mallory, his one hand choking her. Mallory had her eyes clenched shut and was trying to gasp for air. "Scream for me little duck." Orgg purred over her.
"GET OFF OF HER!" Wildwing yelled at the Saurian. Orgg turned to Wildwing, finally releasing her neck giving her the chance to gasp for air, coughing violently from the pain.
"Or what duck?" He got in Wildwing's face. Wrong move.
"Or this." He slammed his head forward into Orgg's as hard as possible. Orgg went down like a sack of bricks, completely unconscious thanks to the metal mask.
"Mallory are you alright?" Wildwing asked in concern.
"Yeah... great." She said sounding like she had strep throat.
Hearing the commotion Siege burst into the room to find Orgg on the floor with a hockey mask imprint on his forehead. "Oh great he got too close to that duck." He grabbed Orgg and dragged him out of the room.
Hours later the other ducks still weren't awake yet and Mallory and Wildwing could do little but speak comforting words to each others.
"We're going to get out of this. I promise Mallory." Wildwing looked at her in the dark room, the mask letting him see her with no issues. Her beautiful face looked in his direction and smiled for him.
"I wish I could see your face." She said, referring to him always having the mask on. She knew she shouldn't break from protocol and speak to him in such an intimate way when in dangerous situations but she couldn't help herself.
"When this is over I'll finally be able to put this away." He said looking up at the ceiling, thinking about what life would be like without having to constantly fight. She was a little surprised but happy he didn't scold her.
"In a way I'll miss it." She laughed. "I've grown so used to seeing you in it."
He looked back at her with a very serious expression. "... Mallory when we get out of this and it's all over... There are things I would like to discuss with you. Mainly our future." He watched her face carefully for her reaction.
Mallory blushed but nodded. "I would like that." He smiled at her, wanting to hold her more then anything but the door to their cell was thrown open and their tender moment interrupted.
Dragaunus walked in, followed by Siege and a very pissed off looking Orgg. "Orgg! Siege! Bring Mallory and Wildwing." Orgg grabbed Mallory and Siege grabbed Wildwing.
As they were pulled down the hall Wildwing turned to see Mallory being pushed by Orgg by her hair. She scratched at his hand and snarled at him. Orgg just laughed and kept pushing her along. Wildwing was furious with how Orgg handled Mallory but what pissed him off more was when Orgg pulled her face close to his and stuck his long serpent tongue out to lick her face. Moving fast he kicked Orgg hard in the face before Siege could do anything to stop him. The offending saurian lost his grip on Mallory and she attacked Siege before he could hit Wildwing. She kicked and dodged him as he tried to make a grab for her.
Using the chain on his shackles, Wildwing wrapped it around Orgg's throat and pushed his feet into Orgg's back. Trying to strangle the life out of him for his cruel and sick treatment of Mallory. In Wildwing's mind, this guy had to go. Orgg could do little but cough and choke as the chain cut off his oxygen. The duck's strength was impressive.
Mallory wouldn't let Siege near Wildwing, so Orgg was on his own. It was looking good for the ducks until the Chameleon came to see what was taking so long. He changed into his larger form and punched Mallory into the ground when she wasn't expecting it.
"Mallory!" Wildwing yelled for her. Siege grabbed Wildwing, trying to pry him off of Orgg but it was no use. He started punching the duck in the sides and still he wouldn't let go. Wildwing grunted but took the pain and kept choking Orgg, refusing to let him go. Glancing at Orgg, Siege knew he wasn't going to last much longer. Then Siege went over to Chameleon, who was holding Mallory down, he lifted his tail in the air, prepared to swing it down at her form. "Get off of him duck or this girl is as good as dead." Wildwing relented and finally let go of Orgg, who fell forward gasping and choking.
Siege smacked his tail into Wildwing's chest knocking him over. It hurt for sure but it wasn't enough to keep Wildwing down for the count. He leaned up to see Orgg getting to his feet, clearly intending to pummel Wildwing into paste but Dragaunus interrupted that. "WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG! HURRY UP AND BRING THEM IN HERE!"
Orgg glared at the white feathered duck on the ground. "It's you lucky day duck. Otherwise you'd be dead right now." He voice was scratchy and strained from being strangled by Wildwing. Orgg grabbed Mallory and threw her over his shoulder, walking the rest of the way to Dragaunus in silence. Wildwing stood and followed Orgg without complaint. Siege had a gun aimed at his back and he didn't want to let Mallory out of his sight.
Once in the room, he felt the sinking feeling in his stomach, nothing about this was good. Mallory was tossed down in the middle of the floor. Her head was still spinning from the hit she took. Groaning she got up on her knees and looked to Wildwing, wanting to make sure he was okay.
Wildwing rushed to her and crouched down next to her. "You okay?" He asked, keeping his eyes on Dragaunus.
"Yeah, you?"
"As can be expected." He looked at the long branding iron sitting in the fire. The brand had a dragon shaped like a 'D' on the end of it, Dragaunus's symbol.
"Do you see this my pet?" Dragaunus asked picking up the branding iron. It smoked and burned a bright red hot. Mallory cringed and Wildwing moved in front of her. "This is what I will be using to mark you as my property. This is going to go on your back right shoulder. It will be very painful." He smirked, clearly happy about the pain he was about to cause her. "Wildwing, I had you brought here because I want you to watch this. I want you to watch what was once yours become mine." Both the ducks eyes widened. "Hold her down Orgg." Hearing this a fight broke out. Wildwing launched his foot backwards and kicked Orgg in the stomach, sending him back a couple of feet. Siege attempted to tackle Mallory but she dodged his hold and spun around to kick him in the face. They were successful in keeping to two lizard back until Wraith and Chameleon joined and both ducks were pinned down. "Oh boss can I do it? Can I?! I need to get some payback for the abuse I went through at her hands." Chameleon begged excitedly.
"No. This is something that only I can do." Dragaunus approached slowly with the hot iron, relishing in Wildwing's torment at not being able to stop this from happening. Mallory was held down on the floor by Orgg and Wraith. She watched the hot iron smoke in the cool air around it. It flared an anger red that promised pain that was soon to come. She wiggled around on the floor, trying to loosen the saurian's hold on her. She looked up at Dragaunus's face to see the delight in his half lidded yellow eyes. She looked back over to Wildwing and saw him still fighting to get loose and try and save her. "Don't blame yourself for this Wildwing." She thought as her eyes connected with his. He looked furious and frightened at the same time, even with the mask on.
Orgg laughed at Mallory's attempt to get free. "It's no use girl. Your not going anywhere." Wraith removed her chest armor and tossed it to the side. She tried with everything she had to get free but it truly was no use. Suddenly Orgg grabbed the back of her suit over her right shoulder, ripping the cloth clean off of that area. Allowing Dragaunus an easy spot to brand her. She prepared herself for the pain that she would feel from this. "This is really going to hurt my dear." He laughed. Lowering the branding iron to her feathers.
"NO!" Wildwing yelled, struggling against Siege and Chameleon.
Mallory could feel the heat begin to sear her feathers as the iron burned through them. Suddenly Dragaunus yelled out in pain and the iron was tossed across the room. She looked over to see the other ducks had escape, Nosedive's gun was smoking from shooting the branding iron out of Dragaunus's hand. He knocked it away before the hot iron could touch Mallory's skin.
"You little rat!" Dragaunus yelled in rage.
Duke, Dive, and Grin attacked Wraith, Siege Dragaunus and Chameleon. While Tanya freed Wildwing from his chains. Orgg grabbed Mallory, every intention of using her as shield and running off with her when he was tackled to the ground by Wildwing, making him drop Mallory in the fall.
"Touch her again and I'll rip your arms off!" Wildwing jumped up and kneed Orgg in the face, sending the large saurian sprawling on his back. Tanya removed Mallory's chanins and handed her the discarded chest plate. "How did you guys get free?" Mallory asked, replacing her armor.
"Oh ah Duke picked the locks." Tanya laughed, getting up and charging into the fight, Mallory followed soon after once her armor was in place.
Wraith was the first to go down, tied up by a puck rope. Next was Chameleon, who was knock out by Nosedive shooting the roof over him and hitting him with debris. Siege was then corned by Grin and Nosedive while Tanya and Duke fought Dragaunus. Wildwing was throwing down with Orgg, going toe to toe with the large saurian. Mallory seeing her opening jumped in the air and smashed her foot into Orgg's face, making him stubble back. "Bitch." He growled.
"Wildwing. Tanya and Duke need your help with fighting Dragaunus. I want to deal with him." She pointed at Orgg who smirk at her, whipping his tail from side to side, ready to use it as a weapon. Wildwing looked over to Duke and Tanya to see they were struggling. "Be careful." With those parting words he run to help them, trusting Mallory to be able to handle Orgg.
Orgg attacked first, swiping his black claws at her but Mallory dodge and blocked every move. She kinda wished she had a sword at this moment so she could do more damage but she would have to make due.
Orgg surprised her with his speed and kicked her in the stomach, smashing her into a wall. He was a lot stronger and faster then most of the opponents she faced out on the ice back in the dome. Probably why he was Chargg's personal body guard. "Well I beat him before so I can beat him again." She growled to herself. Jumping back she grabbed a puck grenade off of Duke's belt, surprising him when she went past, then charged at Orgg, kicking and punching at him. She got in another blow to his abdomen when she had to flip backwards to avoid the vicious black claws that tipped his fingers.
"You ready to join your little blond bitch friend in the after life?" Orgg asked cruelly.
This only solidified what she felt she had to do. "You first fuck face!" She faked going to his right and went to his left instead, kneeing him in the face to knock his head back, giving her the chance to grab her grenade. Mallory was prepared to finish this fight for good. The other ducks had defeated their opponents and were watching Mallory finish hers. Ready to jump in if she needed help.
Mallory ducked and dodged Orgg's fists and tail. Weaving in and out of his reach getting some good punches and kicks in. Ashley's image flashed across her mind and Mallory only kicked up her brutality. Finally ready, she activated her grenade and shoved it in Orgg's mouth. Then hit him hard with a round house kick that sent him flying backwards. He skidded across the room and come to a stop on the other side just in time for the grenade to go off and paint the wall behind him red. Orgg's body twitched for several moments but then stopped, his nervous system finally shutting down for good.
The other ducks, Dragaunus and his goons watched in stunned horror at Mallory's kill. She just stared at the blood dripping down the wall, no emotion on her face then looked down at her hands. There was no blood on them right now but that didn't mean they were clean. She started spiraling back into that arena when Wildwing took her hands and brought her back to herself.
"It's over Mallory." He covered her hand with his much larger one. Wanting to pull her back from where she was going. She looked to him seemingly unfocused, but then her eyes seemed to adjust and she nodded. Wildwing sighed in relief, happy she was able to pulled herself out of an episode quicker then usual.
Pulling her to him he hugged her and kissed her head. Mallory wrapped her arms around him, thinking about Ashley. She had saved her back in the cell by waking her, Mallory just knew it. It was really her and she looked so... happy.
Ashley was happy.
That brought some peace to Mallory's distraught mind. Looking over at her friends she noted that the fight was finally over. Dragaunus was captured and they could go home.
