DOUBLE CROSS INTO REALITY

PART 1

"Don't worry; I'll take you away from this enslavement!" Megavolt proudly said as he removed another cathode ray tube from a television set. The closed television store that night was a disaster as the store was filled with dismantled sets. After gingerly removing the tube, Megavolt looked at the lifeless item and petted it. "Awe, I bet you're tired from what they are doing to you. Don't worry. None of you shall be imprisoned here again!" A happy maniacal laughter came from the intruder's mouth as he placed the bulb into his bag.

"I am the terror who flaps in the night…!" Another voice boomed inside the store.

"Oh no…no!" Megavolt panicked as he gripped his bag closer to him.

A cloud of blue smoke appeared in front of him. "I am the emergency broadcast signal that interrupts your favorite show…." The voice continued as the smoke faded away as Darkwing Duck stood there now. "I… am Darkwing… Duck!"

Megavolt growled in frustration as he glared at his visitor. "Why do you ALWAYS have to show up?!!"

A proud smirk crossed the duck's beak from his foe's question. "Because I have to stop demented villains like yourself!" He beamed.

"Demented?" Megavolt blinked at him, he almost seemed insulted. "You're the one always stalking me and you call ME demented?"

Reaching into his suit, Darkwing pulled out his trademark gas gun. "Now suck gas evil doer!" He fired a round at Megavolt's feet. The capsule exploded on contact and a thick smoke filled the air all around Megavolt. It was so thick that it caused his eyes to water and he began to cough.

Right when the gas began to clear and Megavolt could finally breathe and see, there was a white blur and he suddenly felt Darkwing's foot strike his chest making him fly against the wall. A moan of pain escaped the villain's mouth as he stayed where he was on the ground, his body aching all over.

"Yep, yep yep," With a sigh of satisfaction, Darkwing walked over to apprehend Megavolt. "I guess I'm just too much for you."

"Dw! Dw!!" Darkwing's partner called to him as he ran to where they were. "Sorry, I'm late, I-" Launchpad stopped in midsentence as he heard the sound of glass breaking beneath him. He looked down to see that he stepped on the bag that Megavolt was carrying around with the tubes inside.

The sound made Megavolt snap to his senses. "NOOOO!!!!" He screamed, horrified by the sound and the sight of his flattened bag.

"Uh, oops, sorry, DW." Launchpad frowned at his partner.

"It's ok, LP. At least we still have him." Darkwing cringed some, but then his black eyes looked once more over to Megavolt whose horrified stricken face was still present.

"What have you done?!!" Megavolt crawled over in a panic as Launchpad quickly moved away from the bag. "You….you crushed them!" He shakingly pulled out pieces of the tubes and held on them as his eyes began to water.

"Ease up, Sparky. They are JUST bulbs." Darkwing Duck rolled his eyes.

That was the last straw, a strong current began to flow through Megavolt's body as he stood up, his eyes glaring upon the two. "I told you to never call me Sparky!!!"

"Uh….I think we should leave…" Launchpad began to back up away with Darkwing who had the same scared expression on his face.

"Fry, duck!!" Megavolt screamed as he launched a bolt. Darkwing Duck ducked just in time as the bolt flew over his head, fringing a feather on his head. Megavolt launched another one just as quickly making Darkwing jump up in the air.

"Whoa! Can't we talk about this?!" Darkwing asked as he and Launchpad jumped over a counter to barricade themselves from another direct attack.

"I really think you shouldn't have called him that…" Launchpad said over to his partner.

"I know that!" Darkwing shot back. Looking around quickly, he spotted a dismantled tv set nearby that Megavolt didn't get to. "If he wants one of those tubes, then he's going to get it." Making a dash for it, he barely avoided another attack as he flipped in the air, landing next to the set, pulling the tube out. "Better watch it, Megavolt, you don't want to hurt another one do you?"

Screaming in fright, Megavolt looked concerned for the object. "Ok Ok….just put it down."

"You mean like this?" Darkwing grinned as he held the bulb out the window.

"Don't!!" Megavolt screamed.

Darkwing reared his arm back and threw the bulb out the window as hard as he could. Running fast, Megavolt bolted out the store in hot pursuit of the item. Making it to the other side of the street, he managed to catch the bulb just in time. "Whoa…that's impressive." Launchpad watched in amazement.

"Did that mean old Darkwing scare you?" Megavolt held onto the bulb tightly as he kissed it. Hearing the sound of a truck horn, Megavolt looked up just as a dump truck hit him straight on, smashing the bulb, and carrying the deranged villain down the street with it.

Seeing this, Darkwing and Launchpad cringed. "That's REALLY going to hurt in the morning." DW smiled.

Near the docks of St. Canard inside an abandoned warehouse, Bushroot and Quacker Jack sat on the floor, moping. "Feeling down lately? Try some villainy!" Liquidator sang in a commercial tone as he appeared near the 2 with a smile on his face.

"Why should we?" Bushroot asked as he made a circle on the floor with one of his leaves.

"Yea…Darkwing Duck will just interrupt our fun," Quacker Jack added as Mr. Banana Brain as he held up his doll.

"I REALLY hate Darkwing Duck," Megavolt groaned in immense pain as he stumbled into the warehouse, the front of his face was still smooshed in from the impact from the truck. He stopped and pulled his face back into normal.

"How can we ever get what we want if he always stops us?" Bushroot whined as he looked over at his comrades.

"Can we just kill him?" Quacker Jack asked.

"Argh! He won't stay dead!" Megavolt held his head.

"Here's an idea! Let's ask Negaduck to help us!" Liquidator suggested.

"Everytime he does, he always takes everything for himself," Bushroot replied.

"He always double-cross us." Quacker Jack said through his doll.

"Sometimes he's just bad as Darkwing." Megavolt threw up his hands in disgust.

Pondering for a moment, Liquidator's faced lit up. "Why don't we double-cross him AFTER we kill Darkwing Duck? Then we can have whatever we wanted!"

The other 3's face lit up with the same sadistic happy smile. "That's it! We'll kill them both!" They said in unison.

Quacker Jack laughed in glee. "It's PLAYTIME!!"
