Wandering around the dessert, I could see anything else but sand. Still thinking of how I got there, the sun makes it even more unbearable to keep up the thoughts. One fata morgana as already got in my way. It felt too real, as I jumped into the water of the oases, only to wake up with my head in the sand. Great vacation, I thought.

Wild wing almost reached the casino, where the raptor is hiding. Klegghorn and Phil called him once more, announcing that they haven't found me yet. The duck sighted deeply, "Keep looking, she must be somewhere in Anaheim."

Me...In Anaheim?

Nope! I was somewhere far off that place. Not sure of where I was heading, my desire for a few drops of water distracted me. In the distance, there was another fata morgana. This time, it was a small ship with two weird creatures coming out. "I am not falling for this again" I said out loud, wanting to get passed this image. But my feet didn't get me far; I lost my balance and fell soft into the warm sand. Not one body part of mine wanted to get up. My eyes seem to follow, closing slowly. The last thing I registered, were deep voices from the distance.

At the raptor, Dragaunus was preparing his next step to destroy the world. The ducks could see from their cage, as large machines began to destroy the buildings around the casino. The same technology he used to attack Puck world. Tanja knew what that meant, "If we don't stop them soon, they destroy Anaheim in half an hour." "Bro will save the day, don't worry about it." Too bad that no one was as optimistic as Nosedive. Dragaunus could see the team captain entering the building. He grinned wide, "Excellent. Wraith, send him to his friends." Siege and Chameleon didn't understand what their boss was on about. Wraith however, knew exactly the plan, "It will be my pleasure." He explained it shortly after. Chameleon had an important part in this game, turning into me. He was the bait for Wild wing. The duck was already half way inside the raptor, as Wraith appeared. He held Chameleon in his arms, pretending to be me. The team captain fell for it, "let her go!" Wraith shook his head, "Come and get her." It all went according to plan, Wild wing his wraith with one of his pucks, while Chameleon fell to the ground.

"N/A, are you alright?"

Chameleon answered in my voice, "Yes don't worry about it."

"Why did you leave all of a sudden?"

"Because I found them Wild wing, they are all in that room."

He followed my finger; it was the last room at the back. Feeling a bit unsure, he demanded me to stay close to him. Preparing himself for an attack, he opened the door. He smiled wide, as his eyes seen the entire team in a cage, "I am glad you are all alright." Of guard, he got closer to his friends. Duke tired to tell him to be careful, but it was too late. Wild wing felt a shock going through his entire body, before he lost consciousness. Behind him was Chameleon, still as me, and Wraith with Tasers. Siege followed soon after, seeing wild wing on the floor, "That was way too easy."

"He really thought that I was on his side," announced Chameleon, turning back to his original form.

Duke's eyes turned dark, "I knew that it wasn't N/A from the beginning. She would never work for you."

The laughter of the three irritated Duke. Before he could ask, Wraith explained it, "Oh she did betray you all. She was a part of this plan, before she almost ruined it at the end."

"You're talking bull man. She wouldn't do such a thing" barked Nosedive. "Oh you think so?"

Chameleon turned to Wild wing and begins to say the same thing I heard back then. Turning back, he grinned evil, "She fell for this trap and decided to get revenge. That is how she cooperated with us." Dive was speechless. Grin however, nodded approved, "I told you that this was a misunderstanding." Mallory slapped the big guy hard, "Grin, she betrayed us, no matter how it happened!" Wild wing was thrown in to the cage, still unconscious. With that, they were left alone. Now there was no one to stop Dragaunus.

Meanwhile, I came back to my senses. But the surroundings were different. Where was all the sand? Even the atmosphere was cool. Slowly getting up, a little piece of cloth fell of my forehead. Who saved me? The area looked like the inside of a ship. In one corner were several plants in shelves. I didn't know any of them, at least there wasn't one I seen on earth.

"I told you to get the shovel."

"I used my hands, so stop complaining."

Afraid, of who they might be, I ran back to the table, lied back and placed the piece of cloth on my head. The voices got louder, heading towards the shelf.

"These flowers are a rare beauty. Who would have thought that this planet possesses such flowers."

"Stop your blabbering. I want to get back home."

"Honestly Zork, where is your sense in Adventure?"

"Flork, don't get on my nerves!"

Opening one eyes, I could see the two arguing. They were no human that was for sure. Aliens with blue skin color, a large head and three fingers. What do they want here? What will they do to me? The tallest of the aliens turned around and stepped into my direction. I closed my eyes immediately, pretending to be asleep.

"Still not awake. What shall we do with this human?"

"Just throw it out Flork."

The alien Flork didn't want to. He carried my body to a more comfortable place, throwing a blanket over my body, "Not until it is awake."

Zork, the small alien, didn't want to risk it and wrapped a collar around my neck. The cold metal against my skin, made me jump up. The two aliens were startled at this, falling backwards to the ground. "I am sorry for startling you."

Zork was furious, "Why you little..."

"Zork please, it apologized. So no hard feelings."

He introduced himself, as well as his grumpy colleague, "We are watchers, a race that observe other species but never get involved in their business."

"Too late Flork, you already pulled trouble with you" referring to me.

"I didn't mean to cause any trouble, but could you get me to Anaheim?"

The two exchanged a look before facing me again, "You mean where these ducks live?"

Relieved that they know them, I nodded, "Yes, yes there. Would you please send me back there?"

"And why should we?" barked Zork loud.

Flork was able to cool down his friend, before coming a bit closer, "Is Anaheim your home?"

I nodded, "Well...yes...kind of. I need to save my friends."

The tall alien seems shocked, sitting beside me, "Oh my, what happened?"

"Flork, just throw her out!"

"We promised this duck to help, remember?" Zork mumbled under his breath, leaving us be.

I got interested, "You know them well?"

"Well, we had a little misunderstanding. But it all turned out well."

I hope the same goes for me, I thought. Flork decided to get me back home, while Zork was still annoyed. During our flight, I could explain to them what happened. In return, I had to tell them about the flowers on earth.
