The Introduction of the Cy-Rangers

Escape Efforts

Donald and Daisy were in their cell. They had been in there since their failed attempts to escape the sea monster pirate navy earlier this morning. They had been alone together. No one from the navy came to see them, not even to offer them water or bread or something a sea monster pirate would eat. And the nearest guards were on the other side of the door.

Daisy had just been sitting on her cell bunk while Donald was looking around the whole cell. This is what both had been doing since they were slammed into the cell and neither of them had stopped since then.

"Donald, will you please stop moving around?" Daisy said. "You've been doing it since we got thrown in here about six hours ago. All you're achieving is making me dizzy and more stress."

"But how can we escape if we don't find a way?" Donald said back. A few seconds later, he had an idea. "I have an idea, Daisy. Now, listen carefully."

Daisy sighed. This had better be good, she thought in her head as she went to listen to Donald.

"HELP!" Daisy cried. "My boyfriend is very ill! He needs help! PLEASE HELP!"

Three sea monster pirates – two were the guards and the other one was a medic carrying a bag with a green cross on it – ran to their cell. They saw Donald on the ground struggling to breath with a panicked Daisy, who was kneeling above him and holding his left hand.

"How do we know he's not pretending to be ill?" the chief guard asked.

Donald started to moan and groan and cough very loudly.

"Do you want him to be well enough to be interrogated by Admiral Beakship and Lady Bonnie?" Daisy asked. "Because what will happen to you if they found out you left him unattended?"

That seemed to get to the guards. They opened the cell door and ran in. As the guards and the medic went to check on Donald, Daisy backed away to the cell door which was still open. As the guards and the medic gathered around Donald, he quickly kicked them in between their legs. As they ran to the cell door, they groaned as they collapsed to the ground. Then they saw their duck prisoners locking up the cell door as they left the keys in the keyhole after they unlocked it.

"Thanks for letting us out," Daisy said smugly.

"Yeah, thanks, suckers." Donald laughed as he and Daisy ran away.

Donald and Daisy were walking through the ship's corridor as quietly yet quickly as they could. As they made their way through the frigate to find a way to escape, they kept their eyes peeled for any guards on patrol.

"Wait!" Donald whispered, holding Daisy back. Then he pointed ahead.

Daisy saw that some shadows were appearing out of the nearby corner. "How are we going to lose them, Donald?"

"I don't know, Daisy."

"But you've been on many adventures and been in many situations like this before with your Uncle Scrooge and your sister Della and your nephews and the rest of your family."

"Your point being?"

"My point being is that you should have more ideas than me, due to the experiences you've told me you had in your life."

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I enjoyed them nor does it mean I learned a lot from them."

They saw the shadows were coming closer to them.

"Quick! In here!" Daisy whispered.

Donald got his answer before he could even ask where or why. Daisy had taken both into a room which was full of pirate clothes. They helped themselves to pirate hats, pirate coats, pirate swords and pirate boots.

"How do I look?" Daisy asked.

"Even in that pirate outfit, you still look beautiful, Daisy," Donald said. "You could be on the front cover of a pirate magazine."

"That good, huh?" Daisy asked sarcastically. Then she noticed that this room even had a toolkit. It contained a spanner, a hammer, a saw, a chisel, a screwdriver and a pair of pilers among all the other tools in it. She decided to take it in case one or all of the tools might come in handy.

Meanwhile, Donald was peering around the door and saw the coast was clear, so they went back out into the corridor. Despite feeling better with their pirate outfit disguises, they were still cautious and preferred not to get seen by the pirates.

The ducks, still in their pirate outfits, managed to make it all the way to the deck of the frigate and to the helicopter on the helipad. But before they could even look for a way to break into it, two flashlights were shining behind them. They held their arms up and turned around.

"Who are you two seat rats doing here?" one of the two sea monster pirates demanded.

"And what are you doing to Admiral Beakship 's helicopter?" the other sea monster pirate demanded.

"We are the new maintenance of Admiral Beakship 's helicopter," Daisy said, trying to put on a pirate voice.

"Yeah," Donald said, trying to sound pirate-like as well. "He ordered us to take a look at it and checked that it's ready whenever he wishes it to be."

"Very well," the first sea monster said. "Carry on."

Then both sea monster pirates left.

The ducks took a sigh of relief before they returned to look at the helicopter. Then Donald noticed the toolkit that Daisy brought with her. He took the screwdriver, put it into the keyhole and turned it. There was a click and the door opened a bit.

"You learnt that on one of your adventures?" Daisy asked.

"Not on a helicopter," Donald said. "But on a boat. It's not that much different."

They boarded the helicopter, but they realised that there weren't the keys. But then Daisy went under the engine and a few seconds later the helicopter was alive.

"What did you do?" Donald asked.

"I hot-wired it," Daisy replied. "I do it sometimes when Emma's car needs to get off in an emergency and we can't find her keys. Now, come on, let's get out of here."

Donald was always a sailor and not an aviator like her sister Della, but he did manage to get the helicopter up in the air and away from the frigate.

Donald sighed. "I think we've lost them, Daisy."

"I think we did too, Donald. You were very brave back there."

"Aww, thanks. And so were you."

"Yes, you all were brave and clever.

That sounded like Daniel Beakship. The ducks turned around. They were shocked to see Daniel and Lady Bonnie were behind them.

"What?" cried Daisy. "How did you –"

"One helicopter and no other vehicles, not even lifeboats because we don't need them, in the navy? I knew it would be the only way you guys would escape."

"Good efforts, ducks, but you get no medals for them." Then Bonnie held out her fin and blew on it. As she did, purple powder went to the ducks' faces and it made them go unconscious.
