Coraline- MD Crossover 7

Pucks and Button Eyes



Part Seven

Meanwhile, screams of terror filled the small airport as bright beams of red shot many directions. Many of the shots some struck the luggage retrieval; near the place where Mel, Charlie, Coraline, and Wybie were taking refuge; while other terrified citizens ran for cover. 'Man! Just what we need after the whole 'Other' Mother thing.' Coraline growled to herself as she stared angrily out from behind her hiding place near her parents and Wybie. As the beans continued on, two more figures soon came into their view. The first had more of an orange tint to his scales and was stouter and turtle like and the second was a bit smaller and more like lizard with light green skin instead of scales dressed in a deeper green suit.
"I just love terrorizing the humans in the morning!" The one known as Siege laughed.
Just then, they heard a faint sound of wheels screeching to a halt just outside the airport. The two Saurians turned their attention to the sound as a large pure white and metallic vehicle came into view. Soon, the hatch opened; and six figures began to race out. Coraline's eyes grew wide as she got a look at the strangers before her. The first was a young duck a curly white bang; which was the same color as the rest of his feathers. He was dressed in a white and gold battle suit; with matching boots; over an olive green leotard and smoky grey gloves. The golden mask he wore; made it hard to see his eyes. The second duck was younger and had pale yellow feathers and blonde hair; which reached his shoulders and baby-blue eyes. He had a deep brown patch on his beak. His armor was less bulky than the first one's and had grey instead of gold; and had hazy grey fingerless gloves; with white and grey boots. The third duck seem to intimidate her a bit. He was tall and muscular with bright grey feathers and had a black pony-tail; dressed in a pair of large grey shoulder-pads. The shirt he wore underneath was all white and sleeveless. His pants were brown with a smoky grey belt; while his boots and fingerless gloves were a smoky grey. His eyes were chestnut brown. The duck near him had peach feathers, fiery red hair and radiant emerald eyes; which shimmered angrily as she stared at the two creatures before her and the rest of the team. She was dress in what was more like a uniform than a battle suit. Her uniform was made up of a violet chest plate with shoulder-pads and a green collar. The leotard she wore was purple instead of green. Her knee-pads were violet as well. On her left hand was a purple fingerless glove; while her right was gloveless and had what seemed to be a stopwatch of some sort. The fourth duck seemed to shock her somewhat. He had smoky grey feathers and a lean body. He looked ahead with his two mismatching eyes; one being silverish-blue and the other being a crimson red; do to the fact of it being somewhat mechanical; which thanks to the black patch was being held in place. The uniform he wore was a deep crimson red with long sleeves; his boots were a deep grey. There was a small chip in the brim of his beak. Coraline began to wonder about the strange patch; before glancing at the last duck. Her feathers were a pale yellow. She wore bright pink safety glasses; which slightly hid her violet blue eyes; and was dressed in a violet and deeper purple high-tech suit; with a bright blue collar and matching headband. Her thick blonde hair plumed but shagged a bit at the top. The Saurians continued to fire; this time at the Ducks as they rushed to the scene. The beams bounced harmlessly off the blue shield the masked duck had summoned from the armor on his wrist. Soon, he plowed into Seige; knocking him down. Chameleon yelped as he moved aside; while Siege tumbled to the floor.
"You're reign of terror is over, Siege!" The masked duck growled; standing over him.
"Lets get outta here!" Chameleon yelped as he and Siege soon pressed a button of the gadget on their wrists; resulting in creating an eerie green glow before they vanished before their very eyes.
After a few moments, the masked leader turned toward the nearby wall; where something had caught his attention. Near the wall, Coraline could see the crimson red eyes of the golden mask gazing back at her.
"It's alright." He told her assuringly. "There's nothing to worry about."
Before long, Coraline emerged from her place near the wall; followed by her parents and Wybie. As they approached them, Coraline began to get bit of an uneasy feeling. Mel was the first to speak up.
"Okay, what Earth is going on here!?" She shouted; stepping in front of her daughter and Wybie.
The leader; as well as the others, was taken aback by her sudden outburst.
"Whoa! Hey, just chill a sec okay?" The duck with blonde hair said; throwing his hands up in defense.
"Don't you tell me to 'Chill'!" Mel ordered; pointing her finger at the young duck; angered and still a bit shaken from the recent event.
"Mel," Charlie started; stepping forward. "Now is not the time."
With that said; Mel signed and soon calmed a bit.
"I'm terribly sorry," Charlie told them, sincerely. "We're just a little stressed on what had just happened."
"It's quite alright," The duck in the mask replied; a sense of uncertainty in his voice. "We should introduce ourselves." He said finally. "I'm Wildwing Flashblade." He told them. "This is Nosedive my brother."
Wildwing gestured to the young duck with blonde hair; who Mel had yelled at the moment before.
"This is Mallory McMallard, Duke L'Orange, Grin Hardwing and Tanya Vanderflock." Wing finished; waving a gloved hand to the rest of the ducks.
"I'm Mel Jones," Mel replied; a bit more calm than before. "This is my husband Charlie, my daughter Coraline and her friend Wybie Lovat."
"It's nice to meet you." The duck known as Nosedive smiled. "So uh, what brings you to Anaheim?"
"We were here on vacation when those things came and started attacking us." Mel replied.
"Who were those jerkwards anyway?" Coraline asked.
"Coraline..." Mel said in a stern voice.
"No it's alright," Wildwing replied. "Their names are Chameleon and Siege."
"Yeah, we've been fighting them for a while now." Nosedive cut in. "They're pretty much the reason why we got here."
"So what exactly are you?" Coraline asked.
"Eh, just ducks from another universe." Dive replied; shrugging as if it was completely normal.
There was a brief silence when Mel spoke up.
"What should we do now?" She asked Charlie; who stood nearby. "Thanks to those oversized lizards, there's no way to pay for a vehicle. The airport is completely deserted."
"Hey, no prob," Nosedive smiled; stepping forward. "We can take you to our place. It's pretty awesome."
"I'm not sure about this, Dive." Wildwing objected quietly; so only he and Nosedive could hear.
"Aw, come on, man," Dive frowned; quietly as well. "It's only for a little while. And besides, what if those Saurian sleazebags show up again?"
Wildwing turned to the Jones' and Lovat boy; who stood nearby having a conversation with the other ducks.
"I guess you're right." He replied.
"Alright!" Dive cheered quietly; before turning toward the others. "It's official," He said aloud so the others could hear him. "You guys are coming to our place to stay for a while."
On hearing the news, Mel, Charlie, Coraline, and Wybie smiled.
"Well, we should probably get going, if we want to catch up to those oversized lizards." Mallory spoke up. With that said, the ducks and the four travelers made their way toward the metallic machine; now known as the Migrator. Soon, Mel stopped before boarding the machine and turned to Wildwing.
"Are you sure this thing is safe?"
"Absolutely," Wildwing assured her with a nod of his head.
Mel looked at him for a moment before boarding the Migrator; followed by Charlie. Wildwing nearby as Grin follow the two aboard.
"It's a good thing Phil's in Malibu for business." Duke smiled in relief as he and the others began to board the Migrator. "Otherwise, we'd never hear the end of it."
"Who's Phil?" Wybie asked; a bit confused as he stopped for a moment.
"He's our manager." Dive replied; stopping as well and turning toward him. "He's always making do humiliating and sometimes dangerous publicity stunts."
"And he almost always claims that it's for charity." Mallory agreed; rolling her eyes.
"Well, Phil isn't what we should worry about right now." Tanya spoke up as she walked past them.
"Tanya's right." Wildwing stated; turning to the others. "What we need to worry about now is Dragaunus. I just hope we can figure out what he's planning."
"What's to be worried about?" Nosedive as he joined the others inside the Migrator. "I'm sure whatever it is, it's nothing we can't handle."
Before long, the Migrator began its way down the street. Though Nosedive believed it as being true, he had no clue of what real dangers lie ahead.
