Break the ice (Mighty ducks x reader)

33. The catch

Dragaunus was careful now, considering that Canard was back. He always hated this brown feathered duck for pestering him back in Puck world. He knows how dangerous he can be for the Saurians, planning everything even better than before. For Chameleon was it his job to spy on me, making sure if I could be manipulated or get kidnapped at some point, turning into humans I may know around the pond. Wraith gave him a hand, taking the closest person in my area as a victim. Since Buzz is no longer around, it only left the manger as the right candidate. Phil and I were on good terms with another, manage to talk to each other without getting a comment for my previous mistakes and money issues he had. Chameleon was trying his best to stay as close to me in Phil's appearance, while keeping away from the ducks.

I didn't see much of a difference on that manager, still the same stupid guy constantly talking about money. The saurian sure was paying close attention to Phil's behavior in the past few days. Buzz couldn't see it either, not knowing him well. The boy was allowed to come in the next days, but we aren't allowed to go out on our own. Wild wing couldn't even let me go with the manager. He may use a day off to talk to me about the Saurians and going home to their planet. Chameleon needed another approach to the situation, so he can get closer to his target. Wraith had a good idea, needing Siege for this. The large saurian liked the thought of his comrade and prepared himself to strike at anytime. Chameleon, disguised as Phil, offered me a day out to the comic store, while he also asked the youngest duck in the group to join in. The goalie couldn't say anything to that, since his little brother was there to keep me company. Buzz was busy that day, so only us three went out.

Now, all the Saurians had to do was to go according to plan.

Chameleon was standing beside me, acting like he would go through the comics, while Nosedive argued with Mookie about the next orders of magazines for the duck. The saurian almost broke out in sweat, as Duke came in, "Hey there, how is it going?"

I looked back to him, not expecting to be here of all places, "Duke, what are you doing here?"

"I was around and saw you two in the shop, so I thought, why not paying a visit?"

I nodded, "Right, how is it going with the training?"

"Slow, Wild wing seems to be off latterly, not really concentrating as the goalie of the team."

That is unusual for Wild wing, "Did he say what is bothers him?"

Duke laughed, pointing at my nose, "I believe we all know what is going around in his mind. Didn't he talk to you?"

"He did, but I wasn't in the mood to answer."

He looked around, seeing the owner of the shop and Nosedive picking a fight with another now, "That boy never grows up, anyway, don't be so hard on Wild wing, He got his own problems to deal with. Give him a bit of time."

If only I knew about his problems, not seeing the pressure that the goalie was under. Canard just gave him one chance to decide his next step. It is not like he wanted to hurt his old friend, but the title of the leader is nothing to mess with and Wild wing knows that, remembering the incident with the two aliens. Through the day, Canard began his work on finding the raptor again, trying to sneak into the ship and get as much information they needed to get back home. If he becomes the leader, the brown feathered duck will have to stop the search. The goalie has plenty of time to decide, but his mind just won't let him chose. He doesn't see any advantages in any position, only problems. What is best for me is one of his highest priorities, but also his team is important. Wild wing wants to make it right for everyone. He was tossing and turning in his bed, this decision was haunting his dreams, not giving him the right amount of sleep he needs.

Duke stayed with us in the shop, standing on the other side of me.

For chameleon not a good thing, As Phil, he excused himself and pretended that he needs the toilet. Going out the back door, Siege and Wraith are already waiting outside. The older Saurian of the group took the situation like it is, "We take them both down and do everything like we discussed it." Neither Duke nor Nosedive noticed what was going on. The short time that Chameleon left, he didn't see Buzz coming into the shop. He was allowed to take an hour break before going back to work. The boy wanted to spend the time in the comic store, greeting us all before going upstairs and stick his nose into the next magazine. Unfortunately, this short moment will decide the Saurians fate at the end. Through the large windows, Buzz could see the back of the shop. Sitting in the corner, he watched as the two ducks were taken down by the Saurians, while the manager held me in his arms. The little boy feared the worst, as the manager turned to the chameleon. We all disappeared together, making him panic, "I have to tell Wild wing about this!"
