	_________________________________

There was something going on in the gobi desert.
The team went to check it out in the AeroWing.
They were captured by unknown forces. When they
awoke they found themselves surrounded by 7 humans
dressed in strange atire.

"Slade, I think they're awake" one of them said.
He was dressed in red pants, a black vest, a red
bandanna tied around his head to keep his braided
hair out of his way, and gloves on his hands. All
the humans were dressed in matching attire. Two of
the 7 were women. The other 5 were men.
Wildwing sat up, and looked around at his team.

"where are we?" Wildwing asked them.

"this room is called the practicing dorms. We are
in a building our capture's call the judging hall"
the man called Slade replied.

"we haven't seen our hosts. But from what we're
told we've been brought here to determine who are
the better fighters. Human's, or Puckworlder's"
one of the girl's said.

"Renee, are you up?" Wildwing asked her where she
had been placed in a chair. She opened her eyes &
nodded with a smile.

"you mean you've been awake all this time?" the
man that was dressed in blue asked her. She nodded
again in a respectful manner and got out of the
chair went over to Grin, she tapped him on the
shoulder. Grin groaned as he started to wake up.

"why doesn't she say anything?" the other girl
asked Wildwing as they all worked to get the other
team members to sit up against the wall.

"she....well....she just doesn't" Wildwing tried
to explain "she never complains, and only talks
when there's no way out of it"

"why, doesn't she speak english well?" the man in
purple asked.

"from what I know she speaks it perfectly with a
little accent. But she only speaks when spoken to"
Wildwing shrugged. Duke woke up at that point.

"aww....mah head..." he groaned. Renee smiled as
she pulled Nosedive up into a sitting position,
revealing he was awake and looking at her.

"but if we've been brought here to fight each
other, why are we together?" Wildwing asked Slade.

"we are martial arts masters. We are friends but
we still compete against each other. No grudes are
usually made. They want us all  to do the same
thing. You are hockey players, you should have
experience with that because you fight for the
stanley cup" the one in gold replied.

"what are your names?" Techih asked, getting up on
her own.

"I am Slade" the one in black and blue said.

"Im Jules" the girl in pink & black said.

"I am Oiris" the other girl said.

"Im Freddy" the man in gold said

"Im Petel" The one in purple told them. They
followed with the names, Dan who was the man in 
red and black, & Jax was wearing grey and black.

"you all know who we are don't you?" Nosedive
asked as Renee ripped a piece of her shirt off to
tie around the small wound on his arm.

"yeah. Everybody know's about the Mighty Ducks"
Coney said.

"but we can't all fight you guys. There's no way
im letting Renee fight, she'd never survive 5
minute's in the ring let alone a full match"
Wildwing refused.

"you under-estimate your little friend. What she
lacks in mass, is most probably made up in speed"
Dan told him. Renee looked at them with a small
frown, then looked back at Nosedive's arm to 
finish what she had started.

"speed, maybe. Smarts, most definetly. But she'd
be killed no matter what she knows how to do. She
isn't strong enough to hold out on her own!" Duke
took up Wildwing's fight as well.

"it doesn't matter. They won't let her be killed,
and we all refuse to kill anyone. We only fight
long enough for a winner to be claimed. And we
expect the same from you" Oiris told him.

"you forget that I am in the room whenever you
speak on my behalf" Renee said bluntly 

"what was that Renee?" Wildwing asked her, she had
said it to quietly to be heard.

"I said nothing Wildwing" Renee replied a little
louder that time.

"we have to get some practice done in the next 3
hours. That's when the first match begins" Jules
told them all. Everyone shrugged and went off to
their own little corners that had their names
stamped on the hummocks. Each one had a little
icon signate. Renee was about to take to the
punching bags but Wildwing stopped her picked her
up and sat her down in the corner.

"stay there. Your not going to fight" Wildwing
ordered her. She crossed her legs and arms, like
she was pouting. 

"she will fight" a voice came from the speakers
around the room. It was obviously male and was
pretty raspy "you will all fight. We know of all
your pasts, she deserves more credit than you give
her" 

"she's not going to fight!" Wildwing yelled in
return "I'll take her place if I have to, but 
she's not going to fight anyone!" 

"that is not your decision to make. It is Renee's.
And she will not tell you. You know her to well by
now to know that she will not tell you something
that will make you worry or make you upset" the
voice said in reply "it is pointless not to let
her practice her skills. The exercise will be good
for her even if she does not fight" there was a
click and the speakers turned off.

"it's useless big bro. She might as well build
some muscles. You know her answer. She won't let
you hurt yourself by taking her fight" Nosedive
told him.

"what I don't understand is why there's 7 humans,
but 8 of us" Techih said while practicing round
house kicks. Renee sat in her corner, in a pose of
meditation, like Grin often did.

"she doesn't have a signate disk. That must mean
they have a special opponant for her to fight that
won't be revealed to us" Jax said.

"that doesn't exactly relax my nerves" Wildwing
huffed. The speakers came on again.

"not to worry my worry pleauged drake. It is 
someone from her past that she has fought before.
It is of our interest to know if she has what it
takes to fight one that she has mixed feelings 4"
the voice said, and the speakers shut off again.
Renee's eyes opened wide at that point, her very
stance showed fear and anger mixed in one. A very
bad combination.

"something the matter Renee?" Jules asked her as
Renee got up and took to her punching bag. She
said nothing but was obviously letting off a lot
of anger because she was exercising harder than
them all, and doing a better job at beating the
stuffing out of the bag than them as well.

There was a clip board passed in through a slit in
the door. Telling them their schedual. First up it
was Duke & Jax. The next morning was Nosedive &
Oiris. Then Dan & Grin in the evening. All fights
took place at either morning or evening. All
except Renee's who's fight was at noon with an
un-named opponant. Wildwing & Slade,  Mallory &
Petel, Tanya & Freddy, and Techih fought against
Jules. 
As the days passed by Wildwing was amazed by how
hard Renee was pushing herself and by the moves
she was using. Some of which weren't even hers,
but those that she saw the humans doing she
quickly mimiced and mastered. 
It all evened out to the ducks winning 4 of their
matches, and the humans winning 3. Proving that
the ducks were the winners or so the voice said.
Now the humans were waiting for Renee's fight to
take place so that they could leave. 

"Renee, stop it already. You've already destroyed
2 bags. You'll wear yourself out. Your fights in
2 hours and you've only slept 3 hours a night
since we came here" Wildwing told her. Picking her
up he sat down in a chair and sat her down in his
lap. She crossed her arms and pouted.

"I feel that she's very disturbed about something"
Grin said. She looked at him through narrowed eyes
like she was angry at him for talking.

"alright Renee. You obviously know who your up
against so tell us who it is" Jax told her "it
won't do anymore harm to your boyfriends mind. 
He's already as worried as he can get" It was now
about half an hour before her match.

"leave me alone" she said coldly, slipping out of
Wildwings hold, took a knife off the table and
walked into her personal bathroom like they all
had. She locked the door behind her before Duke
could get the knife like he was afraid she was
going to do something with it. 

"aw man...somebody got my lock picks" Duke 
complained, they were missing.

"I don't think she's going to cut herself" Jules
said "she loves Wildwing to much to do that"

Half an hour latter she came out of the room. She
had cut up her shirt with the knife and had put up
her hair in a braid. The shirt had been turned
into a decoration basically. Her sports bra was
clearly visible, and her white shirt was slashed
a lot and torn. Her back was clearly visible as
she replaced the knife back on the table and left
the Practice dorms with the guard that had come to
get her. They now saw that her back was covered
in black scars, in the shape of slashes all across
her back.

"turn on the tv. I want to see the fight" Wildwing
ordered them. They all fell silent as they watched
the tv screen. Renee walked into the caged dome
where the fights took place. Her opponant walked
in also. He was a tall evil looking drake. Duke
gasped when he saw him, and Techih grabbed her
head in pain from a memory coming to surface.

"Jasique....." Duke mummered in disbeliefe "..but
he's dead......"

"oh my gawd..." Techih said, tears of pain in her
eyes.

"what is it you two?" Dan asked them in surprise.

"when Techih landed here she lost a lot of her
memory. Whenever she remembers one, it hurts her
a lot" Tanya replied. 

"who is he Duke?" Oiris asked him.

".......Jasique.....Jasique Carniver......." he
said drearily. Starring at the tv screen in blank
horror "he was in the Brotherhood and was killed 7
year's ago....."

"he...he's Renee's father......he, he abused her
when she was growing up......he didn't die, he was
exiled in the desert.....he's the one that did 
that to her back...." Techih said while tears 
swelled in her eyes.

"what I wouldn't like to get my hands on his
scrawny lil` neck" Wildwing growled, angry that
Renee had been hurt like that.
The match started. Jasique was a great fighter.
But Renee turned out to be even greater. Showing
them all a side they had never seen before. The
side of a killer. She kicked him hard in the back
in a flying kick. Sending him flying into the cage
wires, head on with the metal platform. He died
seconds latter from severe brain damage. Renee
collasped to the floor, crying. The doors all
opened at the point. They ventured out of the
dorms, no one was there to stop them or greet
them. Wildwing rushed to the battle dome and
held Renee. Jasique's body had disappeared.

"shush Renee....it's all a dream....it's all a
dream" Wildwing said, shaking her.

At that point, Renee felt a rush of grogginess,
then she realized that she had been dreaming.

"Renee, wake up! you were having a nightmare"
Wildwing told her. Craddling her in his arms.
Then she remembered everything. The night before
Wildwing had gotten a little careless with where
he kissed her and hit her weak spot. The result
ended them up in bed. She relized that he was
holding her bare body close to his own under the
sheets. "you scared me half to death Ren, you
screamed" he told her, rocking her back and forth.

"it was only a nightmare Wildwing. It was only a
nightmare" Renee said with a smile and cuddled
into him "a nightmare that im not afriad of
anymore"
