I don't own the Mighty Ducks.
Dragaunus growled as he watched as Siege, Chameleon, and Wraith set the charges. They were trying to steal a strange ancient weapon. The lost Argothian City was well hidden by magic in the jungles of the rainforests. These people, like the Atlantean's, were an advanced civilization that had cut itself off from the world long ago to protect itself from it. They lived in peace under the current king, who happened to be over a thousand years old but looked no older than twenty. "Hurry. The ducks will be here any moment." They teleported in after quietly taking down the magical shield surrounding the lost city. The shield going down wouldn't be noticed right away but it wouldn't be long either.
At the same time the ducks had already landed and were led to the king of this lost city. "Your majesty, we're not here to cause trouble." Wildwing stepped forward. "We came to stop an evil alien called Dragaunus. He's here to steal some sort of weapon."
The king seemed alarmed at this. "And you know this how?"
"We found out about it while fighting him. Please there's no time! You need to-"
"We don't need anything from you. Be on your way or I will send you away." The King pointed his staff at them in a threatening manner. Wildwing realized the moment he saw the staff that if was like the one Prince Valara carried back on Atlantis. If he wasn't careful who knew what it would do to them. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life as a dog like Gargon. More was about to be said but there was an explosion off somewhere in the palace. Everyone looked around in alarm including the King.
"Guards! What was that?" He demanded to know.
A guard ran up to give an update on the situation. "An explosion your Majesty. Someone is attacking our military wing."
"It's Dragaunus." Wildwing supplied for him.
Everyone ran to the right wing of the palace and found Siege, Wraith, and Chameleon trying to steal what looked like a large golden ball. Dragaunus was giving them orders.
Wildwing didn't wait, he gave the orders for his team to attack and they did so without question. The battle was tearing up the wing of the palace, making the frustrated king even angrier. "Enough! Your personal war has nothing to do with us or my kingdom! Be gone." He shot a bright yellow light out of his staff that hit Dragaunus knocking him back in into Mallory, who happened to be fightings the Chameleon behind him. They both became engulfed in the yellow light and in an instant they disappeared with it. Leaving their teams shocked, confused, and frightened that they were dead.
Wildwing turned to the King. "What did you do? Where is Mallory?"
"It was not my intention to send her with him but what's done is done. I sent them to another dimension."
"Bring her back!" The team leader lost his cool.
"I cannot yet. The staff is drained. It will take time for it to have enough power to bring them back."
"I didn't say them, I said her!" Momentarily distracted, Siege, Wraith, and Chameleon made their escape. They wouldn't go far since Dragaunus was bound to be brought back. They didn't want to risk him finding out they abandon him.
"I can't bring one back without the other. That is how the magic works. It must be equally balanced. What went through must be the same as what comes back, equal balance is paramount to magic." The king started walking back to his throne room with the rest of the team following. "In the meantime you can stay here as my guests until your friend is brought back." The others looked to Wildwing, wanting to see what his answer would be.
"Looks like we don't have a choice." He watched the king walking in front of him, feeling like he had been robbed.
"If you want your friend back then ney, ye must wait."
"How do I even know she is going to come back at all. I can't tell if she's safe or hurt." Wildwing crossed his arms. He thought this king was pompous and he rubbed his feathers the wrong way with how high and mighty he acted. Prince Valara of Atlantis was much humbler.
The king sighed. "You can't. You just have to trust in her strength." The he walked back into his throne room. "Guards give my guests their rooms." They will be here for some time." With that he dismissed everyone with a wave of his hand.
…..
She was tossed and turned every which way, when she finally came out the other side, she slammed down on Dragaunus's armored back painfully. Feeling her weight fall uncomfortably on him, he angrily threw her off with one arm.
"Get off me you filthy feathered vermin!" He yelled, tossing Mallory a good ten feet. She landed hard on her side but rolled up to her feet in an instant.
"Disgusting reptile!" She yelled at him, pulling her gun out to shoot him but Dragaunus moved fast and used his tail to whip the gun out of her hand. He jumped at her, tackling her to the ground. Mid jump Mallory got her foot in his stomach and launched him over her head while on her back. She rolled with it and got to her feet again then dashed for her gun.
Only to have a tail wrap around her foot, taking her feet out from under her. "ENOUGH!" A voice shouted from above. They both looked up to see the very man that sent them here.
"YOU!" Dragaunus pointed angrily at him but the king ignored him. "How dare you! I demand you bring me back at once!"
"Yeah that's gonna work." Mallory mumbled to herself, mocking Dragaunus who only glared at her.
"I have every intention of bringing you both back but you should know, there is only one way to get back and that is by working together. If one of you dies here than the other can never come back."
"WHAT?" Mallory yelled in horror. "Are you kidding? I'm not working with him!"
"You must be joking. As if I would work with this vermin." Dragaunus sneered at Mallory, she glared back walking to grab her gun.
"But you must and you'll find time passes much faster in this world. If you do not work together then I will be forced to place a spell on you that will limit the distance you can go from each other. If you get too far you will be dragged back."
"What? How is that possible?" Mallory was alarmed at the thought of being chained to Dragaunus in anyway.
"A spell you idiot." Dragaunus sneered at her, the saurians used magic and spells often, it was ingrained into their culture… what was left of it. Mallory fumed, ready to skin him as she clenched her fists, literally shaking with rage.
The emperor ignored them. "Go east to the to the colorfully light city, there you will find a ship that can take you to the seventh moon. On that planet is an ancient temple at the top of a mountain. Once there, walk into the springs of melted glass and immerse yourselves in it. I will be able to bring you back once you are in it. Don't delay, there are many dangers here that you are not prepared for." With that he disappeared.
"Wait come back!" Mallory called but it was too late.
"He's gone you fool. Can't you tell that wasn't his actual body. He used magic to speak to us and projected his image into our minds." Dragaunus straightened his royal purple robes and looked around himself for the first time. This placed looked like Earth only they were out in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing but fields and forests surrounding them.
Opening her com Mallory used the her compass to figure out where East was. Looking in that direction she saw a dark cloud in the distance that was a dirty brown. "I guess that's where I'm going." She said to herself.
Dragaunus was pacing angrily. He wanted to tear Mallory apart with his bare hands but if he did he would never go back to his ship and his command. "There is nothing on this planet that could get me to work with you." He growled.
"Well that makes two of us." Mallory started walking off.
Dragaunus huffed and went his own way. The sun was setting and neither had any idea what awaited them in the dark.
