Random Headcannon #5!

This one is just a random one-off HC based on one line.

Quacking in Puckworld society is considered rude in mixed company.

Nosedive at the beginning of the show says that Drake DuCaine was “the most righteous duck to ever quack”, but never mentions that word again, nor does it ever come up. Which you think someone would ask about since, well, duck aliens. The whole thing of “if it walks, talks, and quacks like a duck”?

This one is more on the dumb side, but just imagine if it was a thing. Some awkward teenager trying to get a date randomly quacks at the other they’re trying to ask out and they’re deemed as rude.

Nothing major this time, more on the silly side of headcanons.

Duckvember Day 9: Placid Duck

No beta again. Mighty Ducks story with some OCs in it I’ll just give a quick review lolol

Duluna L’Orange: My main OC that I ship with Nosedive. Duke’s younger sister. So far she has the least speaking lines this story ain’t about her. Lol

Chrono Dekeson: Leader of a group that came a year after the main team. He has his own mask that is more focused on giving strength than being able to scan things for info (aka Drake Ducaine’s mask.) Military background like Mal. Sweet guy, good tactician. He has smart battle strategy but I am not smart so pretend how I write him is smart please. Shipped with Mallory. @fluxchix character.

Nina: From a different Team of ducks that came from the planet Cheribu, a magical based planet where the ducks are brightly colored. Shipped with Grin. This is who the story is about. @fluxchix  character. 

—-------------------------------------------

“Oh this is great, it’ll be like a triple date!” Nosedive announced over the coms. From the other side Mallory made an annoyed grunt.

“Of course we’re always the closest to the trouble on every call,” Duluna grumbled as she looked up at the strange lights coming out of the warehouse they were standing near. Nosedive gave a shrug to Duluna’s question. Some lights outside the warehouse on the street started to flicker on and off. 

Grin drove up on one of the duckcycles, Nina was sat right behind him. Despite her noticeable pink feathers, she did not stand out until she hopped off the motorcycle. 

“Nina, almost didn’t see you behind Grin,” Nosedive teased. She shyly stayed by the bike, waiting for Grin to also get off the vehicle. 

“Do we know why we got called here? Not just because someone was having an electrical issue?” Duluna asked Grin since Nosedive didn’t get any details from Mallory. 

Nina stood straight, proud to know the answer, “Chrono mentioned a Dr. Droid?”

“Ah, that makes sense,” Nosedive then added, “Well it will be technology versus magic. You can just throw a few magic blasts at them and we can all go back to our dates!”

“It’s not that easy,” Nina quietly stated. Before she could explain in more detail, Mallory and Chrono came up on separate duckcycles. 

“Well, this is a  team combination we haven’t had before,” Mallory stated.

“We’ll work it out,” said Chrono with his mask already on and activated. 

“I haven’t fought without at least one other member of my team with me,” Nina piped up quietly. 

“Oh it’ll be FINE. Big Ol’ Grin will keep you safe while you do your magic blasts and healie spells,” Nosedive was quick to try to ease Nina’s concerns. 

“I see,” Nina blushed at how Nosedive had said that. She cleared her throat, “Should I do a group energy buff?”

“What is that?,” Mallory was very uncertain about this. 

“Man, it’s like downing an energy drink. Man, I can use it. It is getting kinda late,” Nosedive explained.

“Eh, I’ll pass,” Mallory replied. 

“It also makes it easier for her to heal us from a distance. But I understand why it sounds a little off putting,” Chrono replied. 

“Anyone else?” Nina asked. The others gave a nod agreeing. She waved her gold staff in a half circle and the other party members were energized. 

“Oh, wow. That is a boost. Well, if I can’t fall asleep tonight I’ll know why,” Duluna sighed. 

“Alright with the plan, Mallory and I will take point. We don’t have a tech with us to disarm any electronic security. So, Grin. Smash any machine that looks like it may start trouble. Nosedive, have his back when he’s doing that,” Chrono gave Grin and Nosedive a nod that the ducks returned, “Duluna, I want you to hold back some with Nina. She needs to not be interrupted if she is casting. Her attacks need more distance but you need to defend off anything that comes close to her.”

Duluna gave a nod to that, “Sounds good boss.”

“Wait, how come you get to stay with your date but you gotta split up the rest of us?” Nosedive complained.

“Nosedive. Shut it,” was the only response Mallory gave. Chrono decided to act like he didn’t hear Nosedive’s complaint. His choices had been completely based on everyone’s skills. He really wasn’t playing favorites. 

“Let’s go around back while it seems like we still have the element of surprise,” Chrono suggested. He then led the rest of the team around the outside of the warehouse. There was a smaller door in the back. After checking the closest window, Chrono went in first. Mallory went in after him with her puckblaster out, ready to fire. They stepped a little further ahead before Grin and Nosedive snuck in after.

There were many machines buzzing around, but nothing that was attacking yet. There was something clearly being manufactured though. Moving assembly lines that were constructing many sphere shape machines. There was no sign of Dr. Droid or any security bots. Duluna stepped in next with Nina right behind her. 

Duluna gave the room a quick once-over look from where she stood. She noticed a strange seam on the floor. The metal paneling was raised in a way that made the former art thief suspicious.  It covered a large space almost from one wall to another. Nina tried to step beside Duluna but she held up her arm to prevent the pink duck from moving forward. 

Before Duluna could vocalize to the rest of the group that there may be a trap, a large portion of the floor dropped. It was a huge trap door that instantly dropped the first four ducks that had entered. Duluna had been right on the edge and slide down below before Nina could snatch her arm. 

Nina had been right on the edge, just enough space to still stand her feet on the edge. It happened so fast she did not have a chance to catch Duluna before she fell. Without thinking, she released her wings. She lifted in the air a bit before going to fly down to follow her teammates. Before she could follow, the large trap door slammed shut. She ended up crashing into the now solid floor. It was at a hard enough force it made her dizzy for a moment.  She also got a mouthful of her blonde hair in the dive which she spit out of her bill.

She stayed down on the floor and glanced around from where she was at. Since the door did not drop again, she assumed maybe this ‘Droid’ assumed she had dropped too and was not free? Nina was never a team strategist and was now lost without any other team mates. 

The pink duck stayed low and crawled over to a shadowed corner. Nina  kept her eyes open for any other way to go downward to where her team went. She did find a grate where she was. Lifting it out, she found a small vent tunnel  that went slightly downward at an angle. It wouldn’t drop her instantly down but it looked like the best option for now. With a simple whisper of a spell, she was able to hide her wings again so she could fit in the vent. 

Luckily Nina wasn’t claustrophobic, or else this adventure would have bothered her. What was bothering her was that she had no idea where to go next. This was a tight maze where it was hard to turn and back up. Maybe she would be a little claustrophobic after this. She felt like she was going in circles forever. There was a realization that repeatedly doing the same thing was not getting her forward. 

She closed her eyes and cleared out all her thoughts and worries. The state was a combination of the meditation she learned from Grin and what her mentor Bleu had taught her. Clearing her mind, Nina remembered she had done a buff on the group. That magic was still connected to her. Like a string, flowing like water. With her eyes closed she could visualize a line of light blue energy that went through the vents that would lead her to her team. Opening her eyes, she could still see the line of light. Staying as silent as possible she began to follow it.

Part 2 coming on another prompt ahhhhh!

[saurianssuck]

Despondent Dawn

Nosedive bounded into the kitchen, barely giving the other occupants a glance as he rooted through a cabinet, coming up with the most sugar-filled cereal he could find. He filled a bowl and added milk, then very carefully carried the near-overflowing bowl to the table. He shoveled a mouthful into his beak—and then he looked up.

His brother sat next to him, but didn't look like he was really awake yet. He hadn't even said "Morning, baby bro," as he normally did. The Mask of Drake DuCaine sat, all but forgotten, on the table before him, and Wildwing was half-heartedly chewing on a cream cheese bagel.

Mallory was rather violently stabbing the fruit salad she was eating. When she noticed Nosedive looking at her, she glared at him.

Tanya removed her glasses and rubbed her eyes, yawned, and otherwise ignored the rest of the team.

Grin... well, Grin was Grin. The steam rising from the mug he held hinted at the green tea he undoubtedly was nursing.

But Duke...

The former thief was currently slumped over the table, his face buried in his arms. He started to snore, and Nosedive struggled not to laugh.

"Out of coffee again, huh?"

[bat-anon]

SO-

Much like Dorothy Gale, the story starts with the Ducks being whisked away from their home by forces out of their control. The dimensional gateways we see tend to act like tornadoes, with the most tornado-like portal occurring in Dungeons and Ducks, which has two explicit references to The Wizard of Oz (“I’ll get you my pretty, and your little ducks, too!” “Don’t tell me, ‘There’s no place like home’.”)

I propose that Mighty Ducks has multiple other parallels to the original story.

Along with referencing The Wizard of Oz, Dungeons and Ducks is also where we meet this guy:

Borg, much like the Scarecrow, is the first friend the Ducks make in the strange magical land they’ve been transported to. We first see him fighting off a bird creature, much like how a scarecrow’s purpose is to scare off birds. Borg’s kingdom has been taken over by a fire-breathing sorcerer, who is defeated by the Ducks blasting him with water.

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it:

I can hear you saying, “But all of that just makes Dungeons and Ducks an allusion to The Wizard of Oz! How does any of this apply to the rest of the series?”

I’m so glad you asked.

The Tin Man

The second friend Dorothy makes is the Tin Man, who’s all rusted over when they meet. Tanya undoes Dragaunus’s programming, freeing B.R.A.W.N., much like how Dorothy and the Scarecrow oil up the Tin Man so he can move again.

The Cowardly Lion

Kazor picks on the prisoners in Hockeydome to hide his own fear, just as the Cowardly Lion did with weaker travelers who happened into the Forest. Duke’s reaction to Kazor once they come face to face parallels Dorothy’s response to the Lion’s behavior, with Duke shoving Kazor into the boards with his stick and Dorothy slapping the Lion on the nose. Even the words are similar: “Serves you right! What goes around comes around!” -> “Shame on you!”. After seeing the Cowardly Lion’s true fearful nature and shame for his actions, Dorothy and co. decide to help him out and take him with them. Similarly, Duke saves Kazor’s life and Wildwing later asks him to come with them to Earth.

There are some smaller aspects that parallel Oz as well, such as how Asteroth’s homunculi and Dragaunus’s mutants/droids can be seen as representing the Winged Monkeys. I’d also argue that Drake DuCaine’s Mask is an allegory for Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers (Fun fact: in the book, the slippers are actually silver; silver and gold, anyone?). Not to mention the fact that the Saurians get dumped in still-sunk Atlantis, receiving their own defeat-by-water. (I was also going to argue that Phil alludes to the Wizard, but now I realize that Dr. Hookerman could also fit the role.)

Can you tell I love parallels and am also a RWBY fan?

Are you guys ready for me to drop a bomb?

MDTAS is a spaced out allusion to The Wizard of Oz.

[sailorheadcanons]

Usagi is a huge fan of the Mighty Ducks. She has regular rant fests with Wildwing and the Scouts regularly team up with the Ducks to battle the Saurians. Usagi sheepishly admits she had been Sailor Moon during the Silver Millennium but she had been trained not to fight Youma but the Saurians with Drake Ducaine who was her half brother through her mother. She even deals with the worm to save Canard. After the defeat of the Saurians, the Ducks stay on Earth and are the only hockey team endorsed by the Royal Family in Crystal Tokyo's time. No one knows why and Neo Queen Serenity isn't talking.

Duckvember2021 #11: Mother

Before my twin could reply to this something from Duke seemed to catch everyone's attention, "Great Mother that's quite a storm."

"Great Mother?" I looked to him curiously, sitting beside him with my legs tucked beneath me.

"Oh sorry, I was jus' thinkin' out loud," he half chuckled.

Then Wildwing mentioned quietly, "Wow...I haven't really heard anyone mention her since before the invasion."

"Her?" I attempted again.

"Oh, that's right, you probably aren't familiar with her," Wildwing realized, "She's our Goddess on Puck World, the deity a lot of ducks believe in."

"She watches over everyone of us as her children," Duke told me with a nervous, light smile.

"Mom had an altar for her back home that she would pray to," Nosedive mentioned, "I guess you might not have seen it."

Wildwing gave a soft laugh, "I seem to recall mom praying to it a lot over you little brother."

"Very funny," Nosedive retorted while leaning back against his pillow across from me on his sleeping bag.

"Would you like to hear about her Heart?" Wildwing then asked, seeing my curiosity surely peeking.

"Please?" I requested.

Looking around the room to one another I could feel a hesitation lingering. Then the drake sitting beside me took a breath and said softly, "I don't mind tellin' her story."

With that everyone seemed to settle into their spots. Mallory, who had been watching the storm out front, now stretched out along her blanket with her head propped up with one hand. Tanya sat up with her legs tucked beside her and a hand supporting her up. Grin sat with his legs crossed and listened carefully as usual. Wildwing looked to his brother a moment, as though eager and nervous at the same time. While Nosedive still leaned back with his arms folded over his chest. Beside me Duke sat with right knee up to rest his arm over, leaning against the panel before straightening up a bit and clearing his throat. Sitting next to him I had my legs tucked under me while I leaned towards, but not against him, with my hand propping me up in a sitting position.

"Centuries ago, well before the time of Drake Ducaine and his battle with the Saurian Overlords, there was a young woman who wanted nothing more than to have children to care for. Yet through life she'd found this wasn't to be. No one quite knows whether it was due to bein' barren, or if the drake she loved wasn't able or willin', or she'd even had a love to bare his child...None the less she'd never been able to have this wish fulfilled.

One day while wanderin' between Puck World's earliest towns she found an abandoned nest of eggs. Try as she might she could not find the mother or father, nor anyone to help her care for them. It was durin' the cold season too, so without someone to take them in they would perish in the night. So...she took those eggs an' rebuilt their nest with whatever she could find, spare cloth, her cloak, anythin' she could use at all were put into that nest...even...her own feathers. An' she stayed with those eggs, findin' a small, tightly woven grove of trees, and a large oak's base for shelter beneath it's canopy an' the trunks of the grove to shield them from the wind. Usin' her own body she kept those eggs warm, usin' more an' more feathers to protect them from the snow fallin' over them. Her own body shook from cold, but she wouldn't dare move to expose those eggs to the cold. This she repeated night by night, usin' the day to forage for food an' gather more materials for warmth. All through the remainder of that winter she did this. As her feathers grew back she would use them again to keep that nest as warm an' dry as possible.

Then...one mornin'...as the sun greeted her with it's gentle warmth, haroldin' the spring finally findin' her an' those eggs...she felt somethin' movin' beside her. With widened eyes she looked to see the eggs beginnin' to crack. Finally, after all those weeks of freezin' an' near starvin', her efforts were rewarded as each an' every one of those eggs hatched. Within them she found hatchlings of varying feathers lookin' up at her with eyes knowin' that she was their mother an' that she loved them. It's said that day that she was not only rewarded with the wish she'd always yearned for, but somethin' much greater. For that light that had greeted her then bathed her in it's warmth, revivin' her feathers an' givin' her a dress both radiant an' fittin' for a devoted mother. For she decided that day, that she would treat all of us as her children as she had those hatchlings. No matter what they grew up to become...she would always love them as her own. An' so she did, through the years devotin' herself to those first hatchlings an' countless others that followed. Even when her body was said to have long ago perished, the last of her strength given to keep more of her children warm, that light returned an' took her with it so that she could continue to do jus' that...Thus becomin' the Great Mother of Ducks, protectin' her children...an' lovin' us no matter what she had to do, who we were, or who we would become."

The silence that filled the space between all of us was only interrupted by the pouring rain, and thunder drifting in the distance. Carefully looking around I found Tanya drying the inside of her glasses. Wildwing gave a nod to Nosedive who was now hugging one of his pillows. Grin closed his eyes as though making a prayer himself, or at least meditating on those thoughts. Mallory wiped her eyes before clearing her throat and then sitting up to rest a hand on Tanya's shoulder. While I reached over to close a hand over Duke's...before realizing I was already was doing that.

Then I remembered when he had said "No matter what they grew up to become..." had spurred this as I thought I had just barely caught him choking back something at that moment. Yet he'd continued on as if he hadn't. Glancing at me now he knew, yet said nothing. Instead he shifted his hand slightly to brush his thumb over my fingers gently as he held my hand in turn.

"It's been a long time since I'd heard her full story," Mallory commented solemnly.

"I guess I didn't get a chance to hear about her back on Puck World," I tried to recall.

"You weren't living with us long before...before the invasion," Wildwing realized.

"Do you remember anything like this from your world here Heart?" Tanya asked curiously, trying to shake her own melancholy nature now.

I shook my head, "I don't...I've heard things in passing in the city, but nothing rings a bell."

Duke looked to me when I'd said this and after a moment he offered, "We're happy to share her with you Heart."

"I'm not a duck...?" I mentioned a bit taken back by this.

"No, but aren't you their sister?"Mallory gestured towards Wildwing and then Nosedive with an encouraging smile.

I nodded.

"Then that's all that really matters here," Grin spoke up with a firm smile, "If you're considered to be their sibling, then you are surely considered one of her daughters."

With a growing smile washing over me I looked to them and softly breathed, "Thank you..."

Glancing up at Duke I couldn't help but notice a strengthening smile of his own showing.

Duckvember Day 17: Eggheaded Duck

TOO TIRED TO COLOR. 

So I have this Mighty Duck’s OC that was Tanya’s older cousin. His name was Erik and his hacker name I BELIEVE was Egghead. He was smart like Tanya but felt cheated out of promotions in  previous tech jobs so he gave up being in that industry. Instead he got into stealing from the rich. Like you do. He ends up running a small thief group where he hacks security and lets others in to take the stuff.  Erik kept this double life secret from this family though. 

In my story line I had Duke (and my OC, that is his sister Duluna,) join the smaller thief group before later joining the whole Brotherhood of the Blade debacle. The reason Duke knew Erik is because he used to date their aunt. (very on and off, but stayed friends through it.) Duke and Duluna’s aunt (who I cannot remember the name of lol) may have been a wee bit into witchcraft, crystal and horoscope gal that believed the reincarnate of Drake Ducaine and his  friends that helped him were all around in this time all together now because something catastrophic was going to happen soon and they would be needed again. She wasn’t wrong. Unfortunately something happens to her and Duke and Duluna get left with Erik who feels responsible to keep a roof over their heads. 

A lot of the people in this little group Erik leads started out in their teens so he had to accidentally be a bit of a parent figure too. Oops. But he’s really a nice guy. Honorable thief Robin Hood thing going on. Wouldn’t put the group in trouble he couldn’t get them out of. 

 I always like the idea though that maybe Duluna and Tanya met once as little kids via Eric. Maybe Erik had to babysit Tanya once and met Duluna. Then many years later when they meet on Earth they probably wouldn’t even recognize each other. Though for Duluna’s origin store she does mention Erik to Duke, leading to Tanya being like “Oh I have a cousin named Erik.” And then finding out they knew the SAME ERIK. 

When Dragaunus attacked, only Erik and Duluna were nearby each other. The other members of the group were not found. They avoided capture but at the same time did not trust the military run resistance. Both of them instead worked with smaller groups of survivors, scavenge supplies for them, that kind of thing. Upon hearing rumors that the military was looking for the Mask of Drake Ducaine, Erik started to try to build his own from scratch. There was a limit of resources though. He did have a partly built one he would keep tinkering with though. 

One of the small non-military resistance groups that they start working with started being a thorn in Dragaunus’ side. Enough to be noticed. He unleashes a robotic creature to hunt the  resistance. Erik figures out it can only be blown up while inside it to permanently destroy it. He knew there was a chance he would have to sacrifice himself to blow it up, but he had hoped to get away. I always wanted to write a song fic to that  whole situation to this song. MAYBE SOMEDAY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iAYhQsQhSY&list=PLKQn9I9WSbNpj1pjYz-zxjkZbotY943T1

He then shows up later in this big story I wrote now lost on an old hard drive. Show up as a ghost though to Tanya. To inform her HEY guess what we are related to Drake Ducaine. Thats a whole other story.
