Tyler Seguin and Nikita: The Superdog and Spy Team
Tyler Seguin is skating around on the American Airlines Center's ice, taking lap after lap around in a giant circle. He is alone and enjoying the freedom. However he knows that he shouldn't be here alone, it is against Jamie's and Evelyn's commands.
He finally skids to a halt at center ice, spraying chunks of ice before him. He has his hockey stick in his hands. He removes his helmet and shakes his head. He knows that he should really call Jamie and let him know where he is but he doesn't move to get his phone.
Tyler looks around the magnificent Dallas arena, smiling gently as he thinks about how lucky he is. Dallas really is his home, Boston never felt right to him. He is wanted and liked here and he has a ton of friends. Sure there had been Brad Marchand but Jamie Benn was cooler and Tyler loved his friend Jamie.
Suddenly a loud bang echoes through the air, causing Tyler to spin around. His puppy dog brown eyes are wide with wonder and fear. He should really call Jamie now! His conscious screams at him, but he just gasps and drops his helmet on the ice.
"What the--?" Tyler begins to say before a hooded figure holding a bright glowing blue scepter-type staff in his hand lands on the blue line on the ice.
To the right of him, two more figures appear at the tunnel entrances for both teams. Tyler notices that they almost look like soldiers or robots and they block his exits. The Dallas Star turns back to the figure on the blue line.
"Who are you?" Tyler demands.
The figure removes his hood and smirks at Tyler, who freezes in place as his eyes stare into the cold, villainous ones of Raffi Torres. "Tyler Seguin, it is a pleasure. Where's your precious puppy?"
"Nikita?"
"Yeah, Nikita."
"He's not here. Why?"
"Good, good, so there is no one around to hear you scream then, right?" Raffi smirks wickedly. He begins to round the Star forward, prodding him with the scepter.
Tyler whacks Raffi's weapon away from him with his hockey stick. "What do you want, Raffi?"
Raffi stops and faces Tyler, who is holding a sharp, stern gaze on him. The villain spins his scepter around in a circle and slams the butt end of it on the ice with an echoing thunk. "It's nothing personal. It's just that, well...yeah, it is personal!"
He swings the staff at Tyler, who blocks it with his hockey stick. "I know you know me, Tyler Seguin."
Tyler spins around on his skates and blocks a second shot aimed at him. The scepter glows until it finally crystallizes. Tyler gasps as Raffi manages to get the stick free and sends it flying into the boards.
"What do you want with me?" Tyler choked out, backing up on his skates.
"You know!" Raffi sneers, stepping forward, snickering to himself. "Oh, I know you know." The corners of his mouth twist upward into a smirk.
"That's not a good answer, Raffi! Why do you want me? Is it someone else?"
"Perhaps...or perhaps not...you'll soon see, Segsy!" Raffi shoves him against the boards, pinning him in place.
"Let me go! I'll contact Jamie!" Tyler screams, kicking out at the villain, trying to get him off of him. "It's only a push of a button, which I can do before you can even do anything about it! You wanna remove my watch, well not after I contact him!"
"How?" Raffi threw his head back momentarily to cackle loudly and then he slams Tyler against the boards causing the centreman to hit his head. Tyler falls limp and Raffi lets him fall to the ice. Then the villain turns to his friends and snaps his fingers. "Boys, grab this-this hockey player and follow me!"
The two robotic figures leave their posts and come up to the unconscious Dallas Star. The seize his arms and yank him up to his feet. Then they drag him off the ice and down the tunnel, following a laughing Raffi Torres.
"Let's see if Jamison Benn save his precious friend now!"
Nikita, Tyler's third canine companion and special superdog guardian, blinks awake. He gets to all fours, yawns and stretches. He pads into the living room, where Jamie Benn is sitting on Tyler's couch. He spots the dog coming up to him with a bizarre look on his face.
"So, where's Tyler? He was supposed to be back by now. I swear if he went to practice without me...!"
Nikita sits at Jamie's feet and cocks his head. He whimpers and looks at the captain of the Stars.
"Yeah, I'm worried about him too, buddy. Where is he? Should we go find him?"
Nikita nods.
"You wanna test out that super sniffer, don't you?"
Nikita nods again and licks his chops. He yips at Jamie, who smiles.
"Alright, let's go try to find Tyler." Jamie stands up and guides Nikita to the door. He opens the door.
The dog bounds outside and halts a few feet from the door. He stands with his legs apart and lifts his head up. Nikita takes a long sniff of the air and then drops his head. He blinks and his eyes flash a brilliant victory green color. He turns to Jamie and barks.
"You found him?"
Nikita nods.
"Where?"
Nikita bounds over to Jamie's car and nods at the vehicle. Jamie takes the hint and snatches his keys from a bowl beside the door. He exits the house, closing the door and locking it and then makes it to his car.
Jamie unlocks the car door and allows an eager Nikita to get inside. The dog hops into the passenger seat and awaits for Jamie to get in. The captain of the Stars rolls down the windows and starts up the engine.
Nikita barks as Jamie pulls away from the house and they follow Nikita's scent path into Downtown Dallas. They get to the American Airlines Center, which is dark and eerily abandoned. The parking lot is empty and Jamie could almost see the tumbleweeds blowing around the big space.
Nikita whines and paws at the door, wanting to get out. Jamie parks the car in his normal spot and gets out. The dog pushes past him.
"Okay, where is he, Nikita?"
Nikita sniffs the air again and his eyes flash green once more. Then he bounds into the arena and races down the first tunnel looking toward the ice. He barks loudly. Jamie hurries inside after him and skids to a halt behind the dog and gasps.
"Tyler...no!"
On the ice, Jamie sees Tyler's equipment is awkwardly scattered about. As the young Benn brother gets down to the boards, he can see strange skate marks on the ice. A struggle had taken place.
"What happened here? Nikita, Scorpion's in grave danger! We HAVE to find him!"
Nikita barks and it echoes around the arena, causing the JumboTron to sway slightly and the ground under Jamie's feet to shudder. The captain of the Stars smiles though. "Yeah, buddy. It's time to kick some ass! Luckily Star Vision's here to help too!"
Jamie races back up the stairs. He bolts down the hallway and into the locker room. Nikita is hard on his heels. The Dallas leader reaches his stall and pulls down a black case. He opens it up to reveal a pair of star-shaped goggles inside. He gets them out and puts them on.
"Alright, Nikita, let's go find Tyler!"
Nikita barks again and causes the locker room to shake but it doesn't phase the determined captain. He is used to it after all.
They exit the locker room.
Meanwhile, at an abandoned warehouse in Dallas, Raffi Torres drags Tyler Seguin from the trunk of his car and inside the building. Tyler is still unconscious and his wrists have been tied together tightly with rope.
Raffi drops him into a chair and unties his wrists, before he reties his hands behind his back and attaches them to the chair. Raffi then steps back and smirks. He grabs Tyler's chin and looks down at him. "It's a shame that things had to come to this..."
Raffi steps back once more, letting go of Tyler's chin and brings his scepter into the side of the Star's head, instantly making Tyler jerk awake and discover his predicament.
"What do you want bro? What am I doing here?" Tyler shouts, jerking at the rope bondage.
"You better start talking spy boy! I know you're one of them!"
"One of who?" Tyler spits out blood.
"The Hockey Avengers!"
Tyler shakes his head. "'Don't know who they are!"
"You do Black Scorpion...or rather Scorpion. You're going to tell me everything. Then I'll kill you and your friends and take over the world!" Raffi smacks Tyler across the face, leaving a brightly colored red mark.
Tyler spits out more blood. "Why would I tell you, even if I did know?"
"Because...I can kill your dogs!"
Tyler glares at Raffi, biting back the horror. "How do I know you're not bluffing?"
Raffi smirks wickedly and steps to the side, gesturing behind him. Tyler follows the gesture and sees the two henchmen carrying a massive cage. Inside of it, he sees Cash and Marshall, his two labs, who have muzzles stifling their barks.
Tyler gasps and looks at Raffi, who is enjoying his hostage's agony. "Let them go!"
"Then tell me where the Hockey Avengers are!"
"Never!"
Raffi snaps his fingers and one of the henchmen walks forward and spins, pointing a gun right at Cash, the black lab. Tyler desperately jerks at the ropes holding him to the chair. He grunts with the effort.
"Stop! Stop it! Don't hurt my babies!"
Raffi rounds Tyler, putting his hands on the Star's shoulders. He leans down over Tyler's shoulder. "I'd hate to be an animal killer...but if I must I will, Tyler. Tell me where the Hockey Avengers are, Scorpion...or, I'll kill your dogs in front of your eyes!"
"I won't let you!"
"What are you going to do? You're all tied up! Or are you so ignorant you don't know?"
Tyler gulps and drops his head, briefly. Then he looks back up. "Fine, I'll tell you, just don't hurt my dogs."
Raffi ruffles Tyler's hair and pats him on the shoulder. "Good boy! Let's hear it then."
Tyler looks at his dogs, looking into the panicked big round eyes of Cash (his black lab). He closes his eyes and turns to Raffi.
Jamie and Nikita are on the road once more. They are rushing to find Tyler, whose scent has been picked up by the dog again.
Raffi snickers, "What's the matter?"
"You're despicable for dognapping my precious babies!" Tyler snaps.
"It seems that I missed one though, right?"
"What?"
"Nikita? Isn't that right...the Golden Retriever...?"
"Nikita! You don't have him, do you? You can't!"
"Yes, I've got a very special plan for him, when he gets here..."
"NO!"
Raffi cackles wickedly.
Jamie and Nikita arrive at the warehouse.
"Come on, let's get in there and save Tyler!"
Nikita barks lightly. Then they race into the building and skid to a halt inside. Nikita crouches down and begins to growl, seeing his owner tied up with Raffi. Jamie puts a finger to his head and peers around the corner, spotting his friend now.
"Tyler!" Jamie gasps.
Tyler kicks out at Raffi, who snaps his hands again. Jamie spots the henchman with the gun. He also sees Cash and Marshall in the cage. Jamie hears the gun click and looks at the superdog and nods.
Nikita lets out a terrifying growl and leaps into the open. He stands up and lets loose a loud bark, which causes the building to tremble.
"Nikita!" Raffi exclaims.
The superdog gives another bark, this one aimed at the henchman. The gun shatters in his hand and he flies backward. He slams into the wall with a sickening thud. The Golden Retriever drops and flashes his canines at Raffi, who signals his other henchman, who whips out a taser gun and aims it at Nikita.
Nikita swings his head toward him. But the man releases the trigger on the device and a beam zooms for Nikita. Jamie spots it and zaps the beam with a starry green beam from his glasses. He jumps into view.
"Jamison!"
"Raffi!"
"It's been a while..."
"Not long enough! And you're not going to get ANY information on the Hockey Avengers!"
"Is that so?"
"Nikita attack!! Daddy's in trouble!" Tyler screamed.
Nikita's eyes flash green and he races at Raffi. He launches at him and knocks him down. Raffi blocks the dog's attempt to bite him with his staff. Jamie zaps the man with the taser with his "star vision" and then takes aim at the cage, letting Cash and Marshall out. He heads for Tyler, when Raffi shoves Nikita backward into him.
Raffi then gets to his feet and controls his scepter to glow and shoot off blue balls of energy at Jamie, who counteracts with a beam of his own. The two energies meet and Jamie consumes Raffi's with ease. Nikita races for Tyler and begins pulling at the knots to the ropes with his teeth.
"You don't think I've tangled with superheroes before?"
"You're getting your ass handed to you right now, Raffi!"
Raffi drops one of his hands secretly to his side. Tyler catches it and tries to warn Jamie. But Raffi flicks his wrist and telekinetically sends Jamie flying backward into the wall.
"JAMIE!!"
Nikita pauses in tugging at the rope to look at Jamie. The captain for the Stars is slumped over against the wall, dazed and confused.
Raffi snickers and turns back to Tyler, flicking his hand out and sends Nikita skidding backward. Nikita lets out a whimper as he is pinned against the wall. He tries to bark and only whines.
"Let him go!" Tyler shouts.
Raffi keeps his hand stretched out, holding the dog in place. He forgets about Cash and Marshall, who are by Jamie as does Tyler, who desperately yanks at the ropes. Jamie holds his head, still slumped in place. Raffi's henchmen are out cold.
"Too late superdog!"
Nikita whimpers more, just as Raffi raises his scepter up, aiming it at the trapped dog. Cash and Marshall attack and jump Raffi from behind. They snap at the villain, who is shocked. Jamie has the muzzles in his hand. Nikita drops back onto all fours and bolts back to Tyler, remaining in his rescue. Raffi tries to fight against both mortal dogs. There is a good battle between them, while Nikita frees Tyler.
When Tyler is freed, Nikita joins his friends and they bite at the screaming villain. Tyler helps Jamie to his feet. They come over to the "dog pile."
"Alright, boys that's enough." Tyler cracks his knuckles and neck.
Jamie puts his finger to his head, totally fine now.
"I hate dogs!" Raffi snarls.
"Yeah, well you're gonna hate the Dallas Stars more!"
"More accurately, you're gonna hate Star Vision and Black Scorpion!"
Nikita barks.
"And Nikita!" Tyler folds his arms across his chest, boldly.
"And Arrow Hawk!" Valeri Nichushkin shouts out in his thick Russian accent.
Tyler and Jamie look up and spot their archer friend, Val. He has his bow and arrow up at ready, aimed at the weakened villain on the ground.
"Val?!" Tyler and Jamie question.
"Valeri Nichushkin?" Raffi growls.
"Da! No mess with Dallas! Da zdravstvuyet Rossiya!!" Val barks.
"Russians!" Raffi hisses.
"Dlya Rossii!!" Val releases his bow and lets an arrow fly right at Raffi, who is pinned in place by the three dogs. Unable to fight back, the arrow pierces him. He screams and then goes unconscious. The dogs back off of him. Nikita remains tense, growling.
"You're okay Nikita." Tyler chuckles.
Jamie puts a hand on Tyler's shoulder. "Let the dog be protective, Tyler."
"I'm safe now."
"Why did you have to go and get yourself into danger to begin with?"
"I didn't. He just showed up."
"You no tell him anything, right?" Val inquires with a stern facial expression as he lowers his bow and walks forward.
"No. I was stubborn enough to almost let that bastard kill Cash and Marshall. You're welcome."
"At least you're okay and they are too," Jamie says.
"Yeah. Nice timing Nikita!"
Nikita glances at his owner, hearing his name and wags his tail. He sits back on his hind legs and seemingly smiles, letting his tongue loll out. He lets out a soft yip as though to say, "You're welcome."
"Tyler!" Jamie clears his throat and scolds his friend.
Tyler looks at Jamie and shrugs. "Oh right, and Val."
"Tyler Paul Seguin...!"
Tyler laughs and puts a hand on Jamie's shoulder. "And Jamie, thank you. Now let's get the hell out of here!"
They all leave the warehouse.
