In the Duck Pond, Late Morning

[OOC: I know there's a park post already, but timewise this has to be in the morning. And how often do you to make get a subject like "In the Duck Pond?" And it's an epic battle. It's a little long.]

"SPOOOOOOON!" This cry could be heard by anyone in the park this morning. It came from the duck pond. The Tick was standing about five feet into the pond, holding a rather large net. "Surrender, fowl villains! You face The Tick!"

The ducks looked at him with a quizzical duck look.

"I've been told about the carnivores among your ranks. Please swim forward, fiends! Let your fellow ducks go!"

Some ducks swam back. They looked as if they were about to catch a good show. Five ducks swam toward The Tick purposefully. These five quickly surrounded him.

"Your attack on Janet's cousin Murray will not go unpunished! I ask you, arachnid to duck, surrender yourself in the name of Justice!"

A duck lunged for him and bit his arm. Fortunately, it did not have teeth. The other Carnivorous Ducks swarmed, biting him with their toothless beaks whereever they could reach. A couple took to the air and tried diving attacks.

"SPOOOOOOOOON!" Tick yelled as he lept, two ducks still holding on. He caught one in the net. Suddenly, the duck neither in the air nor on Tick pulled out a knife. Tick dodge one swipe! Two! But the third one connected, crushing the knife against Tick's nigh-invulnerable frame. Tick knocked away the bent knife and threw the duck in the net.

Three left. Tick tried shaking the one on his arm off to no avail. The other duck who had been on him made its way to Tick's antennae, clamped down, and pulled with all of his duck strength. "Yeeaaarrgghh!" Tick howled in uncomfortability. Tick reached up and forced the duck's bill open just far enough to release his antennae, then threw the antennae-biter into the net as well.

The flying duck tried a kamikaze dive at The Tick. The duck bounced off his face and landed in the net, stunned. One left.

"Okay, Mr. Duck," Tick said, holding his arm up to stare the remaining duck in the eyes. "It's you and me. You might have had a chance when there were five of you and a knife, but you're all alone now. So. Do you surrender?"

BLAM!

The duck had pulled a gun on The Tick, but the bullet simply bounced off his body. "For shame, Mr. Duck." The duck, sensing he was defeated, released his grip on Tick's arm and dropped into the net.

The Tick waded off to the shore to the sound of ducks quacking their applause at the removal of such a dangerous element. When Tick stepped out of the water, a duck with teeth grinned at him. "Have you tasted human flesh?" Tick asked it.

"Quack," the duck with teeth responded.

"Very good, chum."

The Tick walked off, soaking wet and carrying a net full of ducks to the police station, muttering, "The animals here are so weird."

[Except that now that you know you kill people through your actions, doing it again could be interpreted as showing a depraved indifference to the sanctity of human life, and be bumped back up to murder.]
