Stargate Atlantis Trading Grounds I: The Return To La Rochelle
Warnings: I lost another page, so I have to fix this, before I finish the upload right now, as from here it's case of fixing the damage. In the cast, and with it, Nick Ballard makes an appearance, as he sees after 25 years. Daniel found his way back to the command side of the grouping that were trying to over turn his decision then. After Daniel's parents were killed in the accident here now, so from here it changes now.
But if anyone noticed here in the continued references to the movie script of Sphere, the story is going to follow some of it, but changes in other areas. And this story on Sphere, is going to be book 3 of the 6 part series I'm creating. Basing it from now, to end of Season 5, and instead of dead, Daniel's going to be training to be a Q. And like season 6 showed, only 3 of the 22 episodes, has him with the trio, the others.
He's there at the SGA, Daniel's clone, turned twin brother ascended and Daniel is at the SGA, making his powers stronger. As the last episode unlocked his potential completely, though by doing that, everything that came with it. Starts coming out in visions, till they reach my other story, of the Past and Present series. Till the final shot results now here in the 5 years he spent, on board the enterprise, there in Antarctica.
With this series, there's going to be a severe amount of backlash brought on by the traumas of Hathor and Machello. But the connector is going to be Need and Shyla's kingdom, so for Sam and Jack. The events of Hathor and Shyla have stuck, leaving them facing a backlash that has Daniel. And Teal'C, on one side of the line, them on the other, in basing this solely on the book series on the movie, directly after it.
The events are altered to it being civilian ran with military help and the SGA is just that, as Jack and Makepeace get the entirety of the consequences. That resulted in Daniel becoming a pariah now in that book series, only now it's reversed here. So everything negative on Daniel is Jack now, in the SGA and everything Jack is Daniel. In the SGC ops, but it's because of the permanent effects of Hathor's pheromones.
This story and it's followers are going to match the dialog, in the flashback memories, of chapter 4, of the past meets the present series. As it also follows the complete mental breakdowns, of the human half of the team. And Robert Makepeace and Adam Johnson, so the story is going to follow the dialog to the letter exactly. Along with some new dialog that was not in the fast forwarded portion in the flashbacks.
Basing this in real time, rather then the show, of 25 years ago, Antarctica was a neutral zone for research so military research was not allowed out there. And with it, as the chair is considered military technology, it was meant to be last resort. In case of another orbital attack, so the outpost is now trade and exploration. So with this chapter, is the colony/crew is now getting used to being a slightly underwater crew.
As he's getting to work in trading to bring in more improvement for the planet at large now, so a military attack. Just to bring him back to the states, is attempted, is an international. In incidents and enough to get them convicted for kidnapping now, with his clearance. So from here, is he's dropping in on Ry'ac and Drey'auc and before the press conference. And just before his first stop in planets is to Gaea, home of the Nox.
This chapter will finish off this portion of the story-line, as the next two chapters and forward, cover chapter 2, going by the name. And of The Glory Of Tantulus, which covers things, from his going to the races and Tok'ra creation of the treaty. And his return to Shyla, before the following Chapters cover the the breakdowns of the trio and Carter, who's lost her ability to function mentally, out of desperation now.
As the mission was sanctioned, and he was transferred to Landry and the Atlantis team at the time. As Rodney McKay, Cam Mitchell, Vala Mal Doran, Hank Landry, Frank Simmons, Steven Caldwell, John Shepard. And Elizabeth Weir enter the picture here, the story will have Daniel and Teal'C joining their team. As the SGA is founded 5 years early, and moved into the outpost on earth….
Disclaimers: I don't own the shows, the story belongs to everything else belongs to the creators and the movie companies.
Chapter 61: New Futures And Fresh Starts VI: Time's Arrow and Recovery VI
Avalon I Continued:
"And with that in mind here right now, is a case of training and understanding here, but just remember this now, the job is not a competition here. The loss keeps you humble, as does a tie game, but winning does nothing but feeds the arrogance." Daniel said and they nodded. "And to say my father's opinion here, I would have preferred a loss, to a tie game now." Charlie said and they nodded. "You're kidding right?!" Hanson said in shock and he shook his head then sternly.
"Well you learn a heck of a lot more from losing then from winning, like say we need to fix the holes in the defense and train further till we have it working as perfectly oiled machine. But are you a Hawk, I knew 15 of 30 names on the Hawks, you are…." He asked and he smiled. "Derek Hanson." he said and he crossed his arms. "As in #25 James Hanson, of Varsity Warriors." he said and he nodded. "My brother and I agree with Tim." he said and his eyes narrowed then.
"Ducks stand too, don't make one target." he called out sternly and the 17 surrounded him on both sides, their eyes stern as they watched him. "You couldn't leave well enough alone could you, you had to follow us, we gave you your high school back we come here. But why doesn't this surprise me, after we destroyed your reputation of being the best for 8 years. You're not thing, but a hotheaded loser." he said and they nodded. "Dad." he said and Orion nodded then.
"Guys I see a punch get thrown and…." he said and Fulton Reed and Dean Portman both nodded sternly to the orders then. "As I said to Jack and his team, your team now, and get this through your damn head, Derek, but it's not whether you win or lose. But how you play the game, you failed two tests and there's hundreds more to train on here. The Commander is a better mentor and Coach then Reilly could ever be, so want to capture the flag." he said and he paled then.
"Is the conversation that came up after Peter and David got arrested for the car accident Jared told me about, Charlie, Jesse." Daniel asked and they nodded. "Yeah and you're hearing Coach let him have it, but this is about why Bombay decided not to leave now. And train my sister and her team, with them 11 now, but this was 3 years ago, us 14, them 8. And guys, once he repeats this, cover up, as this is language we're not teaching them." he said and they nodded.
"Alright Bombay, want to tell me why the vending machines are not getting any business at the academy!" they heard and Charlie turned around. "Time!" Adam called out and the team took a break as Charlie tossed him his towel and he wiped his face then as she said it. "Because the prices are too high for anyone can afford, that price maybe okay for you as rich kids. But what about the rest of us?" Connie said for him and Charlie finished that remark sternly at that.
"So choosing now to come here, after 3 weeks to a month preparing for the next showdown, the last game is June, it's between us now, as per usual now. But we win, we become the J.V., and your brothers get a shot at it, but then we win, here. You lose 1 off 5, you win, we start at the same time, but either way the damage is done." Charlie said and the 24 all nodded then. "You heard of recycling, well the cans are meant for brake control." Jesse added sternly to them.
"Alright you want to do this now fine, but guys, Ducklings, cover up, because your parents are hearing talk you normally never hear from me. Guys with you surrounding me, you know I don't mean you now with this next remark, at the moment." Gordon said and the Ducklings immediately covered their ears at that and their own parents nodded sternly. "Yeah whatever was said, I'd rather not have my daughter hearing this." Orion said and he nodded sternly then.
As they waited for it. "Reilly, don't start with me, I got work to do with training my new squad here, so if you'll excuse me." he said sternly as he went to get the gear out for the Ducklings. "Gordon, hey Bombay, you stop when I'm talking to you son, you trying to sabotage me here?" they heard from Reilly then, "Hurts like a bitch when the law starts working against you, doesn't it Jack." Gordon said sternly and he said it quickly at that news and Connie backed into Charlie.
'Whoa, yeah he's right, that's a remark I never expected to hear that from him right now.' Orion thought in agreement then sternly. "But you have a whole team worth of Banks's, one player won't make much of a difference." he said sternly and they heard a shocked remark at that. "Even with Banks, just what are you trying to prove here, with that bunch of losers?" Reilly said and Gordon said it in a mocking tone then, though protective towards his original team.
"That's right, 'they' are losers aren't 'they', and we hate losers don't we, 'they' don't even deserve to live." he said and as Daniel sternly then, knowing then gently, that he meant Reilly and the Hawks now. "Again even with Banks gone, one player like him gone won't make much of a difference. At least we're playing by the rules, and for the record, I'm free of you at last, Reilly, the me that Hans knows is back." he said and Reilly said it shaking, then in shock at that.
"You been coaching for 33 years, Jack, but thing of it is, that as an adult, Ted and I could do this even better and even blindfolded right now. In fact these kids are all ready to follow us into the flames of hades, what about you, are your players. Are they ready to follow your every word, do as you tell them, or are they questioning your tactics?" he asked and Orion crossed his arms sternly and Reilly swallowed hard in fear then, as he went further sternly at the remark then.
"Ted has a teaching and coaching job at Eden Hall academy, till now and we both decided that the ship was the way to go. I can use my coaching ability to teach the next incoming now, him with me, but thing of it here. Now is I see him coming to the games, his eyes on Conway right now every time, that I think he's seeing himself. But Banks now Banks is me at age 10 now, we both see it this way that we could do this even better and blindfolded here in coaching now."
"But these kids are not so far gone you turned them into cold blooded killers, as of yet right now, but you're as bad as the father on that hockey episode. So exploiting any chemo patient's if they're 1 or 2 any cancer patient?" he asked and Orion nodded as he went pale at that remark then as the team nodded. 'He knew now that he was focused, he always knew, trying to get me off the team, he wanted to help me and I never been happier.' Adam thought gently to that.
"Banks's sister has cancer, doesn't she, and he's desperate to help her, you and his father are exploiting that. That's illegal Jack, and just wait till the judge hears exactly, in why exactly, I'd even call this into question, but that kid is me, Conway is Ted. But you ever consider every parent in the city hear why you're going about it like this. Putting a certain amount on the goals you make, this could, now, get you arrested for an arraignment, if there's an injury so serious
"Rght now, it puts said opposing team member in the hospital, Banks has a lot of potential, but tradition be damned right now Jack, he still has his innocence, and I intend to make sure. Now that boy lives up to his true potential, without him turning into the kid on that episode. And that put an opposing team member in the hospital right now, as he stays under you. This road is leading right to prison, then right to the top, so it's me in your way." he said and he paled then.
"That it's once again going to be me that puts you back in second place, but we win that championship, and we go on to bigger and better things." he said with a growl at him and the team nodded. 'Yeah the academy.' Charlie thought to that "Ted's retired from NHL, he made contact with me, but he said it directly. I ever need him to take over, he's going to do it right now, Reilly, but you never knew the brotherly bonds between us and he hates you for that."
"We make it to the championship, that pep talk, the one you gave me now in truth, is in a real coach mode between me and Conway. Or Orion, if he's Ted's son in truth, that if one of your guys trips him or whatever. But we're free of you, being hawks, as we either got even better coaches training us. Or we just use what you taught us against you now, but what I guarantee right now here, is that starting now your team now has its new rival and carrying two of us."
"Us being the Hawks of 1973, in the team and Ted is Coaching your retired Alumni now, only now we're adults and we're using what you taught these guys against you, like the books now starting now. And I tell him what I know on this, then Ted and I know he's going to see it. In the same way, Ted and me, a duo, us against the entire world once again. Well this time it's us against you, he'd take the coaching job, if I asked him too right now, Jack, but won't need to."
"As he's hated you ever since the 1973 championship game, so me or him, we're in your way starting now, if he's Charlie's father. Then the sextet, in truth, are really the kids of his best friends." he said and they heard a shocked tone then as Reilly said it then. "You remember Ted, as in Ted Orion, or to you Teddy Orion, but we're not kids anymore here right now in truth. Conway is like Ted, and Banks is me, before you destroyed me, well time to fix a repeater."
"And right in truth here in your words, he's just as good as I was, but that skill is the same as martial arts, you're as bad as the man playing Kreese. Guess it never occured to you that once the district lines get changed, we're free of you. I see it clearly now, that you are an emotionally abusive coach, you always were, the kids and me we're close. But I see it, that Banks has a lot of potential, oh yes, but to prevent what you did to me, I'm getting him away from you."
"Before you destroy his love for the sport and he turns into what I become, before I met Conway and his friends now, my time table is close, but I'm back." he said with a growl to him and Charlie crossed his arms as he and the 9 nodded nodded sternly to this. "Why you turn against me Gordon, for 3 years, I taught you how to skate, I taught you how to score. And I taught you how to go for the W, you could have been one of the greats, and now look at yourself."
"You're not even a has been, you're a never was." they heard and as Gordon nodded. "I lived the dream finally for 2 years Reilly, but I had something even better, a chance to train players. Kids, but we're not you, but yeah I want to win alright, but win or lose at the end of the day, well I'm not you, so still a good day, but nothing you do can defeat us now. For 4 years, 8 games in 4 years, you can't defeat us no matter what you do, but this is your final defeat."
"But your future is a bunch of don't bothers." he said and be swallowed hard. "In which case, we can set the price for goods, nobody is ransacking the drug or candy store. And whoever is just take it easy on the sweets here, but remember 80% good, and 20% bad here now. 1), 2) nobody is crossing into the apposing district here and whoever does is 3 strike rule. Third expulsion and your scholarship gets revoked here." Daniel said and the Hawks paled in fear
"Point taken, son, point taken here and you're right Gordon, there's talk we never want the kids younger the high school hearing." Landry said sternly and Orion nodded in agreement to that ad Bombay said it sternly then. "But really Jack, your machines are not getting business and why would they, every kid that likes us going to the academy comes here. For the junk food, or regular now, so a few candy bars, a bag of chips, cookies or what not now, but $0.50 a regular."
"A $1.00 for a king size, $1.50 for a pack of bite size in either company, $2.00 for a pack of those in funsize, also either company. But you guys ever think of getting a sponsor, get a job, so you can pay your way through college in 5 years now." Charlie asked and he scoffed. "Sponsors are no fun." he said and Charlie smirked. "Depends on the sponsor." he said, tossing his new Jersey, and as the away game one, at him and they looked at it and then paled then.
"Yeah I like this version, Cherry red, white and teal blue, there's your colors as a grown pre college duckling duck." Daniel said and he looked down smiling and Hammond chuckled. "Don Tibbles created them for us, matching the pro look of a real jersey." Connie said smiling and he nodded, smiling. "Well we look like a real team, act like a real team, as the Coach, Uncle Ted, or you said, work as one win every battle, at odds tears us apart." Jesse said and he smiled then.
"These are pro level." Hanson said and Charlie nodded. "That's right, the rink connected to Jan's store now, is looking like the ice palace, and we have a canteen and snack bar. With everything involved, burgers, hotdogs, nachos and the like, we're selling gear, jerseys and skates. But we're the spokesman for the Hendrix hockey apparel and there's why our gear is brand new. Because it is brand new here, and is selling both types in jerseys, and equipment, in addition to food."
"But with the school having the prices that high, in drinks, candy and chips now, we decided to fix that problem. That everyone is buying these things from here, and your vending machines are going bankrupt as a result. But you want things that pricey, you can do it in your version of Eden Hall, which is the academy carrying your colors: in red, gold and black." he said and the J.V. Hawks paled, now realizing the Ducks had circumvented everything at the academy.
"What are you doing in Richfield, this is District 1, or 5, you're District 6, trying to cheat by watching us to memorize our plays, you know that's illegal. Want to win, follow the rules here, or you get disqualified, but I guess this confrontation was coming sooner or later now. Because you, like your brothers, had spent 5 years indoctrinated by this lunatic. As we're first generation Ducks, my sister and her team next generation." he said and they paled as he went further.
"All business, prices too high, you start losing business, and this continues, you're about to start losing the stocks from the businesses you take stock in. The Ducks are working at fixing that, but then the fact you're picking on us, because you hate us. You ever hear of blue collar hockey Jack, as I understand it, dad was getting on your brothers cases so much. That after he screwed up in the 'make him make the first move', he destroyed his stick." he said and he swallowed.
"But not me, you see we learned things they never remind you of in the peewees, but as you see the mess in here, we been learning blue collar hockey. And see we're actually quite good at it right now, your brothers refused to learn this stuff from my father now. Because they were too engrained in Reilly's teaching, but while Bombay was out of town now. Dad took over training us, we got better and better at this, and to the point, that we reached your brothers."
"In skill in less time then anyone thought possible, but the first game between us and black jerseys, if your brothers take the bait now, is practice, gone real game. Before the real one and the gloves come off, but our practice is first, before he gets my sister and her team. My cousin now too with them right now, but just imagine here right now, that rather then hockey. Is we are In-line Skaters, you're leader of one team, I'm leader of the other and with it now, Adam."
"He's playing the one having financial trouble and then gets in over his head, but you really think I'm not going to kill you for leaving the gravel on the road. If you're racing one of my sisters, you put the gravel on the road, you realize you could have killed her." he said and he smirked. "God you are such a wuss, I'm the one that should be mad at you, you didn't even have the brains to finish the race." he said and Charlie crossed his arms sternly as he said it.
"Maybe not, but I do have the brains to finish this, but are you blind, as we're not alone here." he said and he paled, realizing in the exchange, he forgot they were surrounded by adults. "But this maybe your turf there at Eden Hall academy, but not if you lose again to us, two chances. One by you, one by your brothers right now, but everyone in the city knows what it's about, between us here right now, you see I didn't change, I grew up, but you're as bad as Peter is."
"Trying to humiliate us, because we destroyed your image forever right now, but no, no, you did that on your own, but I have a life at the academy, my girlfriend is going to school there. You think the faculty or just my father are not going to pause in the hall here to hear the fight, huh. Because I about reached my limit with you idiots, as 1) my rival just left permanently, 2) my Grandfather mentor just passed here and 3) I just recovered enough to start playing again."
"But 1), I just got my side of the team back to full power, 2) I just recovered from my injuries and 3) you want to push me, as I just reached my limit with you idiots. We can make do with 16 till Dean gets back, but are you idiots really are that arrogant here. Your brothers, aside from one game, have not played us at all, you played us 10 times in 5 years you know us. And better then they do, you know when we reached the end of our patience, that touch the girls here."
"You're a dead man here for even laying a hand on them, you forget that on purpose Jack huh, because Fulton is the strongest of the team after he threw McGill into the box. And for knocking Tammy over at the time, after you beat the heck out of Adam." he said and Riley and Cole both paled, realizing that if they got that rough with Connie and Tammy, Fulton would kill them. "You only know us 9, but what about Dean, Kenny, Luis, Dwayne and Russ, huh, what about them."
"You got the other bash brother here right now, and a case of rampaging bull, after Fulton humiliated you by throwing McGill into the box. A male version of Tammy, and then of course is our cowboy, after that viking tried to ram Connie. He roped and dragged him him to the box right now, the speedster ready to mow you down. As he, as another character, pickled a mastiff here after it chased him from one side of the town to other right now, that's 4 at the moment."
"And then of course is the double to Kenan Thompson, you remember what channel Kenan does for a living in between disney movies." he said, before they heard an explosion then in the kitchen, and they turned and saw green slime all over the observation window. "Sorry Gordon, the exact recipe for this stuff exploded!" they heard Kenan's voice shout and Gordon nodded bemused at that as Connie was shaking in laughter at that remark and they swallowed hard.
"You want to get covered in monster blood, just keep it up, because Russ is really good at that right now." Charlie said in a deadpan and Orion nodded with bemused smile as he said it. "But Les', Russ and me, once we put our heads together, are real good at pranks here now. Said that have them, that's the faculty, knowing you just provoked us into non lethal force here now. But you pushing my side of the team, into a case of brains over brawns, you want the papa duck."
"Now ready to eviscerate you for breaking the consortium order here, after our coaches deliberately said to stay away from each other, so just keep it up. But you don't want to get covered in slime or whatever, just can it already here." he said and Russ covered his eyes at the remark as Jesse started laughing at that. "And that's better than fire ants right now, Charlie, I can just pretend to be Kenan, when dealing with that stuff, and dump it down the pipe."
"As they get covered in slime, but hey there's your dad's remark, after the liquid nitrogen, for every action there is an equal, but opposite reaction. And unlike their ploys, our's never damaged the primary pipe keeping that rink a block of ice. Or just did damage to school property and we did arrest someone coming back late. And said was reeking of alcohol, so western cop." Russ said and Fulton, Julie, Jesse, Dwayne and Averman nodded in agreement.
"Yep, are you really choosing now to make threats right now, because as per usual right now, I was helping my uncle with an arrest and you're resisting arrest, your record is shot." Charlie said and Cole paled as Coach Davidson crossed his arms then at the remark. "Oh boy, yes and I do believe that having our cowboy is an easy catch without excessive force. As we drag him to the tank and check his bloodwork." Duncan said and Jacobs nodded in stern agreement to that.
"He never realized that, but how stupid can you be, to actually make threats to the relative of the cop said who is the father, and second in command, of the next generation of the Ducks. Huh, as if the adults are not irritated enough, the nephew, of the leader of the sextet doing the school, decided to respond." Charlie said to that then. "Like I said for every action there is an equal, but opposite reaction, after you said we had to respond now, but instead of the fire ants."
"That's a good one, we can create a few dozen pounds of slime, and do that at the dormitory, if they finally cross us with you still recovering." Averman said and Rus nodded in agreement. "Watch it in the lab guys, before you destroy a bunson beaker with that ploy, their brothers misread the calculation and I had slime all over the lab. After they did it that day, so careful right now with that." Orion said with a bemused smile at that remark and they all nodded.
"Monster blood, the can was just opened and it's invading the dormitory, now that's creative!" McKay said laughing and Orion nodded. "And us adults in charge of the team, as the driver, tutor and head coach of the team are fine with this ploy as a final warning. Now get the message and stay away from our kids." Jenkins said sternly to this opinion then and Orion nodded in agreement as Buckley nodded in stern agreement to that as he answered him then firmly.
"Well this is considered fine in the areas of science and non lethal force, as Brazilian fire Ants are some of the most aggressive species of ant there are. But you're not picking on someone, you're not the one that started a riot, destroyed the main pipe. Said that keeps that rink a solid block of ice, or the one that started a brawl on campus at 6:00 in the morning. Said that struck the still healing ribs of another peer right now." Buckley said and Orion nodded sternly to the news.
"You said you did biology, are aggressive insects one of the topics we're covering in class?" Charlie said to him and Buckley nodded. "Yeah Gwen's class used to be Derek's, only he did everything in life science to know this right now, your father took my class seriously. But being a hockey coach for 5 years comes in handy, but one means the other here. And health violations, you're benched till you're clean." he said and he nodded as he left a hand on his shoulder then.
"To us everything was just fine till the duo returned to the team, to the Varsity, everything was just fine till we arrived at the academy, they're Johnny Lawrence. And in every sense of the word, Tim is Lawrence, I'm Daniel, only I'm far more assure of myself. And more than he ever expected, Peter, if he returns to the team, is Daniel after he arrived. He doesn't have my ability to lead the team or see that our peewee plays won't work here." he said and Buckley nodded.
"To put this bluntly, I am not the real villain here, we never picked on anyone, however the true villains of this team are David Karp and Peter Marks. I never turned the entire team against someone because I never wanted a change in our team dynamics. I never insulted the leader of our team, because he's dating the Assistant Coach's ex wife now. And I never, ever caused a near car accident by disgusting and cruel practical jokes, oh no, no, you're basing it off."
"As always, because you see those idiots as a couple jerks and retards right now, but I never attacked you because I was determined to hang onto my tuition. And tried to kill someone for that same reason, twice right now, and I never had my brother. Now, ever start picking on that same person, till I got enough to have you expelled, but I use my mind. Now, to prevent a murder and beat down in front of the adults here." he said sternly and Riley backed up in fear.
"You ever heard of the remark of what goes around, comes around, before the it's coming back around results in getting you expelled here right now. But your brothers are picking on Adam's side of the team, I spike my lunch and lead them to my father. Your brothers trash my locker room, my team destroys their jackets, your brothers lie about some bogus school tradition. Leaving us to pay for an amount we once had no money for, and we get them back hard."
"Before the finisher is a grudge match, turned brawl, and your brothers get arrested by my dad, for brawling on school grounds we had this back and forth so long. But your parents as the board can't see your brothers as anything but what. In truth, Sheldon's parents saw them, let them run wild because them love them too much or too little. That's why we're better then you, dad says no, their parents say no gives us something solid, the adults are ready to end it now."
"Our parents give us something solid to stand on, dad's remark of 2 choices says there is no room for misinterpretations. But I worked my but off to get into this academy, you had the money and you're saying we're losers, who's the real loser. After you denied giving up 1/3 of the amount to save a little girl, a baby with her whole life to live. Before trying to kill someone, just to hold onto that money Jack, huh." he said and he paled as Orion crossed his arms then.
"Yes only the true, if this was The Karate Kid, is you, you're the real expert as the son of a pro hockey player here, you know this, you don't win by how strong you are. But how fast you are, all Duck power lies in thinking out your opponent, we only use brute force if necessary. But you never threw the first punch, nor did you try to kill some someone out of desperation." Buckley said sternly and Riley paled, realizing it didn't matter what they said, he went with Charlie.
"Fair is fair here, but this time, to you it's the John Lawrence catch here, everything was fine till Daniel Larusso came into it now. And just who opened that junk as it's got a mind of its own, if they were reading that book trilogy, it just invaded their dreams to have it appear for real. But this we can take, if the pranks start getting out of hand, but destruction of our locker room. No, and we find anything broken here or that can cause damage to school property now here."
"The one that did it, is facing expulsion here, if they got caught coming back after curfew here, because the resident cowboy is going town sheriff here." Orion said and Riley swallowed hard as he looked at the warning looks on Russ and Fulton and swallowed hard, shaking. "And Boys, I see a punch get thrown you're both getting detention, it doesn't matter. Now, if I'm your headmaster, yet, or not here, so cool down." Buckley said to that opinion and Charlie nodded.
"But again, you think anyone is going is not going to realize that I reached the limit of my patience, with your brothers, or you. Dad told us to stay away from your brothers, and we will, but they won't leave us alone here right now. But my chest, breaking an entering, vandalism, destruction of school property now, what about the rink. You don't remember you destroyed the quarry in trying to kill me?" he asked sternly and they all went white in fear at that opinion.
And as he went further, as he looked between the quintet sternly. "What about nearly killing everyone by the fishing line exactly right now, all of this could have been avoided now here. And by just dishing out that $144,000, you can save up for 4 years now, but no, you decided to be a cold blooded murderer at the time here now. But first the quarry in 1992, the trip-line with the fishing wire in 1994, but the rink at the academy now, it's you have crossed so many lines."
"That there it is, because I swear this is going to get you expelled, or forbidden from going there at all, and your final defeat is exact, your brother may say that we got in on a free ride. Or the Coach kept us in on a technicality, but we're not the ones breaking laws left and right here, all we're doing is making prices. And so everyone can enjoy themselves, while raising money for charity, Charity fundraisers, what crime have we committed exactly." he said and they all paled.
"You see you don't deserve the type of punishments you got slapped with here, after trying to kill me at the quarry now?" he asked and they started shaking, realizing everyone thought they were all crazy here right now. "Just what crime have you committed here to get that reaction, and lose up to that much money, oh well how about excessive force with Adam. During the championship game, the fact that you decided to save your careers by out right murder now."
"And severe reckless endangerment here, or what about the fact you nearly killed, not only us, but your brothers ex teachers at the academy, because you're furious we destroyed you. That previous winter, before we got chosen for the goodwill games, huh, I guess. For the rich and privileged, this would been seen as not a big deal, but no, no it is a big deal. Back then your brothers were minors, the most could be they get put in the system for the next 4 years."
"But now, they can be jailed in an adult prison for that." he said and they all went white then as they looked at the stern look on Madigan, Parker. Anderson and Hancock and went white as a ghost in fear, realizing, to everyone not having that much money this was a big deal. In fact it was so big the judge would throw out their claim and still find in favor of the Ducks. "The crimes are enough to tear up your scholarships, your record is nothing." he said and he swallowed.
In realizing he meant they were being expelled, if they destroyed school property. "You are the ones facing it, but this is the last and final time now Jack, enough is enough. Well this is the last and final time, but that's my dad, he's my coach, he belongs to me." he said, injecting the stern coldness of the leader of the team into his voice then and the 10 nodded. And Orion looked down at the protective and possessive tone in his gentle voice at that, regarding him gently.
"I heard that tone when Peter and Karp crossed the line after insulting Aunt Casey." Guy said as the sextet backed up then, knowing the claws were about to come out. "Alright easy kiddo, we get it, but you don't have to turn on the alpha male mode here." Parker said and he relaxed gently. "But again, this is the last and final time, we win you wait till next year, you win we start at the same time, and you get your brother's jerseys, we belong to my dad, but Hockey."
"Like skating is what we do, not who we are, but yeah, yeah I want to win, but win or lose, at the end of the day, we're not you, so still a good day. We're up to new learning experiences, you not a chance but then again, the man training us is my father. In less than 7 months we became just as good, if not better then you, but sore loser, we want to win. But in the end, the fact we reached the championships, win or lose at the end, not you, take that back to your brother."
"And stay out of our territory, starting now." he said sternly and he swallowed hard at that. "But your brothers, like you, had an unfair advantage the last time, because you had one of us, Adam." he said sternly and they all paled then, realizing it finally, that Adam had evened the playing field, and their getting rough with him, combined with refusal. And in parting with just a little off the top, had destroyed their chances of being seen as the best team in the league.
"Peep!" Huey said warningly after jumping on the edge of the box to see what the fight is about. "Cool it you fluffball." Riley said in response and he gave a second, as Charlie, without taking his eyes off him, reached out and stroked his fingers through his down. "Yeah I'm small right now, but fully grown my wings can give you quite the headache, but really. My brother is a teenage duck, no older then them, we can be as dangerous as you, bird beak." he said with a peep.
"Alright easy buddy, are you really picking a fight with a bird 20x's your size with you this small and standing on black circle because you'll get hurt if it gets hit." Jesse said and that got Charlie's attention. "On black circle.., yeah Huey that's a back up black circle, in case we lose another, so off black circle, before we have to use this one." he said and he peeped and got down, before burrowing into a spare glove, with a contented look on his face then gently.
"Yeah staying warm in wing shaped down." Connie said to that and he peeped as she stroked his head and he peeped gently. "Like Uncle Ted said, we're you in human form, these feathers, our down turned feathers now. This is our feathers for black circle, that's why we're soaked in sweat, hard work out, in defense practice right now." Adam said and he gave a gentle peep then. "But Jack, he's right, I'm not a Hawk, or a Warrior, I'm a Duck, stay my flock." he said and he paled.
"And Adam, you never turned on the team, this was a Hawk trap all this time, but we don't need the money enough for you to turn on everything you become. The last 4 years, but for guys like those knuckleheads, that's how it starts, you do something you really love. Then you do it for the money, to help pay the bills here and soon you become a sell out now. Be the you I know you to be back at it, hockey is what you do, not who you are, we're not in financial trouble."
"We're fine, be the you I know, we're going to get the money by furthering the fundraisers, you just hang onto your check, the fundraisers are going to do it for you." Winny said, gripping his arm and he nodded gently then. "I'm not going back, I'm never going back, for four years I been a Duck, this is what I do, not who I am now." he said and she nodded. "Then be the you, you've become and since the team came into your life now." she said and he nodded smiling.
As he hugged her and she smiled. "She's right Adam, we made enough off the fundraising, that you and your team can keep your checks this time. As well as not need to jump another month in rent, we have more then enough to pay the medical bills. As well as afford the mortgage, food and bills, and I'm living at home for 2 years, that gets us another $275,000. Mom and dad and have more then enough to keep us out of the redline." Jared said to him at that then, gently.
"Yeah I agree with them right now son, we need the money yeah, but not enough for you to disobey us now, they did more then enough. We been in worse before, but be the you we know, hockey, like skating, is what you do, not who you are. It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game, time to let the whatever sponsored team. Now, have it hard here, but Gordon was right, I never been more proud of you who become." Banks said and he nodded.
"But 1/5th the amount gained is for her hospital bills, one for 18 months worth of the bills, your brother got us another 300,000 and that's more than plenty. So your friends, the team, have been doing plenty for us and we can put the rest in savings. And after we put the amount to what we're using it to pay for now and we can put the rest in savings. But your mother and me together make enough, that we can manage, you don't have to turn your back on your team."
"As you already made enough to pay the bills, you and the team raised the money, we're okay with the fundraising and the bills, your sister is going to be fine, we'll be fine. Just be yourself now, Adam, stay with your team, and become the man I know you are." he said and Adam nodded as Charlie looked at him gently. "Adam remember this is the same as that basketball analysis I gave, everybody is always talking at me, everybody's trying to get my head."
"I want to listen to my own heart talkin', I need to count on myself instead." he said and he nodded as his eyes narrowed then. "Did you ever, lose yourself to get what you want, did you ever get on a ride then want to get off, did you ever, push away the ones. That you should have held close did you ever let go of who you are, did you ever not know who you are anymore. And the answer is I do, I am a Duck, this is where I belong." he said sternly and Riley paled at that.
"You and I are sharing the same problem, we just went off our current colors and slid into ones we don't recognize ourselves in here right now. But the team just had 2 upgrades, a change in colors, I just got drafted and you're going without the C right now. We have to remember who we are and now, before we screw it up Rex." he said and Charlie nodded in agreement. "And with that in mind, back to the beginning, our original nicknames." he said and Adam nodded.
As the Rileys stood there, along Chris Larson and Jason McGill and Adam crossed his arms. "You ready to rock, Drag'?" Charlie asked and he smiled. "Oh you bet'cha Rex, let's give them a real run for their money, but training teams in practice, but we're one on duty. If you get laid out, I can cover the next game, and we split the third, you got 1/2 the 3, I get the other." he said and Charlie nodded smiling at him. "Done bro, done." he said and the team exchanged smiles.
"Rex, Drag', the Power Rangers!" Larson said and they nodded. "That's right, we just entered year 4, and I know Jason is about to recall Austin for the upgrade that comes with these powers. Funny thing about it here, is like them, Charlie did the very same thing for me, offer a hand in friendship, though I used to be the enemy, and now he's my best friend. After I proved it, I proved I am a Duck, and he, Jesse and Les' are my brothers, Connie, my sister now here."
"But I'm the side of Tommy that was being the best guy friend, she's dating Guy now, Chris and I mean this, but Charlie and I, as you can see, with us dressed like this, are the leaders. Of the team, he is my best friend, after everything they ever did for me, why would I betray them. They know me, they know me so well that they know I would never be apart of it, whatever. Now, your brothers have planned for them with that promotion to Varsity, but cross that line."
"Jack, this means war, you and Tim start with the threats, just save the trash talk, my coach is your brother's ex coach now, but I'm a Duck, hockey is what I do, not who I am. I'm part of a team, a family, play from the heart here." he said and Charlie nodded in agreement. "Agreed, you boneheads just save the trash talk, but you got beef with us, you take up with us. And at the championships, come on bro, we got work to do." he said and Adam nodded in agreement.
"And just so you know, we're getting paid to advertise the Hendrix hockey apparel now, but we make $10,000 a month, half goes to our college education, the rest we keep. But we're currently entering April, but we're getting $10,000 a month each, but 5,000x52x14=….." he said sternly and they all paled at that remark. "That's $3,640,000 you get this from just advertising their gear and apparel?!" Larson said in shock ant the news and he nodded sternly to him then.
"Plus for this year right now, is $480,000, so exactly here they get is $ 4,120,000, so this is 15 years worth of work, when you get a sponsor, and our club house is doing fundraisers. But this is what happens when you decide to get a job and work your way through college. But I guess for you millionaires that's not an option, you know if Wheaton's character does this. His next character is playing someone just like you, but whoever plays his chemistry teacher now."
"In college, is refusing to be bought off and change the grade, but 10x26x14=7,600,000+$480,000=$8,040,00/2=$4,020,000. But for the Ducks, in the current set they see that advertising by charity fundraisers. Brings in more, there is no crime here, but the one you triggered after you tried to kill Charlie. All this is, in truth, is just another attempt to save yourselves the embarrassment, that if you can't defeat us, with your training here now."
"And Stanton being a former pro hockey player and he can't defeat us, and now even your brothers and they are. College bound and even they can't defeat us, what does this say, by your trying to revoke the scholarships. After your brother's enforcer struck Charlie in the still healing section of his chest, if he breaks his ribs." Gordon said sternly and they swallowed hard, as Riley went pale at that, realizing his being the head of the board cut no dice with the city judge then.
"That's right, after Charlie told me you revoked them, I look at the facts, as they tell me the level of crimes you committed. Followed by hearing your brothers struck Charlie in the still healing part of his chest here. Before I drop the bomb, I got enough on your kids to have them shot, straight A students, they won 3 games. Seems to me that the Ducks are performing, so why the tremendous pressure on the dean?" he asked him sternly and Riley went white then.
As he started shaking, realizing he was finished at that remark in fear then. "But my counterpart did the last court case, I got this one now, but these scholarships, an offer. Then became a binding contract upon the signatures of the recipients and acceptance by the Ducks. They cannot be voided except for due cause which, I guarantee you, you have none here. Should you decide to pursue their cancellation, I will slap you with an injunction here Riley, I mean it now."
"I will tie this matter up in court for years, until long after these kids have gone on to college and I will collect damages, I will win. Because I am very, very good, you know why I'm so good, well it's because I had a good education here. You gave it to me and you're gonna give it to these kids whether you like it or not, near as I can figure. You realized that each on their own is very good, but both together, they're a two man wrecking crew now, you know you won't win."
"Is that the problem you can't win against a co-ed team, because after seeing us beat every team in the off season, you realized here. That my training had them win every game, and they're very good, but with Ted, they became so good. They're going to wipe the rink with your kids." he said and they all paled, realizing now, that they stood no chance against them, Jack Reilly's coaching couldn't stand up to a pro hockey player one as good as Orion now to them.
"One last chance you got two attempts here, but one by you, the other by your brothers and that's it, but trying to watch us in practice or stealing the playbooks. That's cheating and calling immediately disqualification Jack, now I mean it, any attempt at cheating, you blow it. But we have 6 playbooks, how do you know you get the right one exactly?" he asked and Reilly felt his stomach hit the floor then, realizing his trying to cheat would never work as Charlie said it.
"But year 1, which was when I put you back in second place, the following 2 years, when Ted created 180 more plays and the Goodwill Games and I created another 50. And now we reached the Olympics and pro level, 350 more plays in a mixture of me and Ted together. But 6 to 7 playbooks, what happens if you get the wrong one and destroy something here. Because my players are not the ones destroying school property." he said and the Hawks swallowed hard.
"But this is a closed training session, so out of here, because this is cheating, to be watching another team's practice, and least of all your arch rivals right now. So stay, you forfeit the championship match between us and we start immediately next season at the academy." Charlie said and the judge, Buckley and the board nodded sternly in agreement and they quickly left. At that remark, knowing if they wanted to go to the academy, they had to follow the regulations.
"And that's you now, you and Adam, they finally crossed you, but calling the challenge in public after it got you suspended from school. Everyone knows what that Sunday means, and to you, you had enough of this back and forth between you finally." Tibbles said to that and he nodded. "I know, but there is just one thing they never thought to do, aside from getting a sponsor and he's standing next to me dressed in an adult version of our sweaters." he said and they nodded.
"These guys never thought to get a Coach, to end the back and forth between you, not just any coach, but the father of one of their team." Buckley said in understanding and Orion nodded gently as Charlie crossed his arms, as he leaned against his father's shoulder. "With us learning to skate, before we can walk, skating is way of life for us in this state to Chicago. And Wisconsin and Michigan, that we know this, and have our own areas to practice, but to a city in-in line."
"The hazards are beyond deadly at times, when you're doing this from a hill, and down till to where the drop off point is, but trying to take a swing at whoever you're racing. Your momentum throws you off and you collide with the stops, say a bale of hay. And which is the turn now, as you strike it and land hard, trying to bring your momentum back up. Which is cutting it close here, but by the end of the race, you're so exhausted, you're going to collapse."
"And from the exertion now in total truth here at the time now." he said and they nodded. "The school X-games are the most dangerous sports there are, I'm not saying our taste in sports. Hocky aren't, but these are ones like motor cross, rock climbing, skate-boarding, street Luge, vert dirt biking and so on, these sports are so dangerous, one wrong move now. That you make mistake, in our version, you lose a point, they make a mistake, someone's going to get hurt."
"But even the gear won't protect you here, if you lose control of your momentum here." he said and they nodded. "That or just the force of not keeping your hand on the brakes, you loosen your grip, when the motor is on, it's going to be a rocket and destroy something." Gordon said and Charlie nodded. "Exactly our choice in sports, though dangerous will lay you out a few weeks to a month, but extreme sports, like this, are beyond deadly." he said and they nodded.
"Or just the dragsters, and that's suicide." Orion said and he nodded in agreement. "Like I said, you make a mistake you lose a point, I make a mistake and someone's going to get hurt. So sorry hotshot, I got to disagree with you, it does take a little athletic ability to do what I do. Case in point, the landing after jumping over the cherry picker, do it wrong you're going to blow your knee out in the landing, inverted 540, break your neck." he said and Orion nodded to that.
"But you remember me skating around town rounding up the 7, at one point I jumped over a cherry picker?" he asked and he nodded. "That's aggressive in-line skating, you're skating on railings, on top of walls on the course, moves that are going to skin your arms and knees. If you do them wrong on street, the vert's even more dangerous, an inverted 540. That can break your neck if you do it wrong and one guy over rotated and landed hard." he said and they nodded.
"Hey boys, did you spot a cherry red SUV tailing you guys after they were picking you up, Lester?" Orion said and the trio nodded. "You been following us around that entire time dad, figuring adult supervision would prevent the Hawks from attempting that. And they get caught by Fulton and tied to the tree?" Charlie said and he nodded and Hall shook his head. "Hey you're my kids son, being a normal coach/father till I become it for real." Orion said and they smiled.
"We love you too dad' 'Coach." the 11 said together and Gordon chuckled, knowing he was leaving them in good hands, it had been a month, since Orion took over training. And the team were as close to Orion as they were to him now, especially Charlie, in that one month. Charlie had grown beyond close to Orion and they were acting like another player/coach combo now. And Charlie was enjoying the updated training as he updated skating training then gently.
"Well I meant it, if we met back then, it feels like you always been here, being the assistant coach, training us, till Coach came back and now you're officially our head coach." Charlie said and Orion nodded gently to him. "And knowing I'm leaving you guys in good hands here, this works as your father is the last one, you knew the faculty in advance. And Kathy and Gwen are exchanging field notes, to prepare for your arrival in her class." Gordon said and they nodded.
"Yep, we changed and grew our feathers in, our left wing, though clipped, grew back in, and we're ready to take flight, only now this is our new look for the academy." Connie said smiling and Orion smiled gently at that remark. "We're happy, you left us in good hands, but this is the last season, and you belong to the Ducklings now, as you train them. But what 5 years does to you, and here's the ending result, no one got in over their heads." Charlie said and he nodded.
"I think they chose said age on purpose, Emilio is 30 playing a 30 year old, Jeff with him." Jesse said and he nodded with a chuckle. "Emilio was 23 when he made The Breakfast Club right now and 21 when he did The Outsiders, add another 9 years, he's exactly 30 years old. When he created our beginning, our doubles were 13 to 14 at the time when they made this one. And playing us at 10 to 11 years, though Fulton looks 13 rather then 11 at the time here now."
"As such he actually went parent with our doubles a few times, but 16 to 18 year old difference, can lead to a problem or two." Charlie said and she nodded "Good point and there being a 20 year age difference between us, as your parents age group, though the Varsity are 16 years." Orion said and he nodded. "But currently these brats think that because we're their coach, we don't have to keep treating them like kids, but me I'm a drill instructor, and they hate that."
"But looks like they hate coaches like me, me always on their case, but that's exactly the problem here right now. As I said, time and time again here, with the teams at each other's necks right now, whoever threw it. That's the first punch, you just blew any mental edge you may have had against against them. Now they, whoever it is, know they own you, this is not the peewees, these mind games will not work on this level anymore, now for the last time here."
"Stay away from the Varsity, whoever it is." he said and they nodded. "Guys we got work to do here, that we don't need them trying anything they can to break out concentration. But Red team has counteract, but that practical, if one involved the restaurant here. We're going to investigate, and then whatever the cost is, we do 3/4's, and then help clean up the place. Before we, with dad allowing this now, set the trap, and then if they take the bait, they're done."
"So until further notice stay clear here." he said and the 13 nodded sternly. "Alright to break it down, while the guys and I are with our parents on business trips here. Adam is undercover and on the Varsity, but with Scooter and Jared, authorization, allowed to pass tips back to us. But we're getting back in time for the grudge match and showdown here at the moment. So Fulton you got my job, protect the girls." Dean said and Charlie nodded as he said it then sternly.
"Guys, until the showdown stay away from these idiots right now, because dad is irritated enough with Peter. So he finds us in that rink with these idiots, we are in so much trouble, but we better turn that around. So they start picking on us, I'm using whatever Adam's double's quartet used here, on that first. Or just the second, trash our locker room, they lose their jackets, leave us to pay for the bill on dinner and for an amount, at first we had no money."
"As by this point right now, we got a few thousand each right now, so just 10 of us make the bill, and do the dishes and clean up. As these idiots never do an ounce of chores in their lives, we grew up cleaning up after ourselves, so dishes. Laundry, garbage and what not, Les', dad gave us our science lesson if they push us that far, but for every action…" he said and he smiled. "There is an equal, but opposite reaction." he said in response and Russ and Fulton smiled then.
"And with that, we can keep the pranks and practical jokes to a minimum, but the what goes around comes around, and it's coming back around is going to wear real thin, real fast guys. But I walk in on you in the middle of another grudge match game, and it's 10 laps around the obstacle course." Daniel said and they nodded. "Sir, yes Sir." They all said together and Hammond nodded with a chuckle gently, at the way they responded to his son then at that.
