Heni: The Duck

A wonder-rich adventure involving a duck-alien, two would-be heroes of Earth (American Homeland), and a contest of metaphysics linked 'social' disarray.

A fun fanfiction-theme, the under-appreciated Howard the Duck (Willard Huyck). Enjoy!

AMLAN: This Homeland-of-Earth requires a nifty adventure for 2-pals from Dartmouth!

RAKI: Excellence for languages; social-media friendly reflection for IQ-in-superstitions.

Amlan and Raki, pals of the American Homeland, had been sharing a cool studio-house experience and writing about sports (football) for a very hip cyber-fanzine from education foundation (Dartmouth), got that adventure they sought (truly), in the form of a living man-sized 3-D like 'gargoyle' affable male-duck named Heni who was 'zapped' from his home-planet (DuckWorld) and landed into a mall for Halloween which is where Amlan/Raki found him, thinking he was playing some Halloweentime prank! However, Heni explained he crafted a space-portal to zoom to Earth in dire-straits to recruit some humans from our 'fare-rich' military-ornamental civilization to request serious aid for being terrorized/stalked by a vicious black-dragon 'being' named Endymion who sought to disorient 'leviathan' in the known universe.

HENI: You've got the consumer-traffic 'culture' and bread, pals, to dream a 'doll' Heaven!

The plan was clear, and the stage was set, and the plot 'colored' glass for Amlan/Raki and their visitor 'alien' pal (Heni-the-Duck). They were to lure Endymion the dragon, who was about to swoop into the atmosphere hunting Heni, into the diamonds-laser wing of a Cali-science building (where Amlan previously worked and could obtain 'secret' post-hours entrance using a current employee/friend ID-card for loan!) where they'd generate a special dodecahedron gem-laser light to disorient the dragon's vision (and view!) to literally 'usher' him to a self-exiled 'abyss' of eye-sleep. Heni had explained this was the 'concept' that the good-helpless ducks of DuckWorld 'derived' but didn't have anything like lasers or diamonds (wow). Wonderfully enough, the schematic worked to a T, thanks to some quick-swift heroics and running and aiming by Amlan/Raki, while Heni simply distracted the dragon-alien (Endymion).

HENI: Perchance what you'll remember (about the dragon) is an art-for-dowry, pals!

WAITRESS: I read that 'fantastic' cyber-tale of yours, about this fictional DuckWorld, guys.

AMLAN/RAKI: Hey, thanx.

WAITRESS: I've got a girlfriend I live with...and we'd love to 'toast' your success together!

AMLAN/RAKI: Hey, thanx.

WAITRESS: You seem somewhat 'antsy' about the cute-cool faerie-tale, dudes.

AMLAN/RAKI: Hey, you're already cheering us up into good-spirit (we accept!).

WAITRESS: Earth's the hologram for dialysis, no?

AMLAN/RAKI: Secrets and destiny...fantastic.
