Metalwing Duck
By: Phoenix Ride
Ch.1: Omega Rex
Just another dull, boring day in the city of St. Canard. Darkwing had been pulled away from his crime-fighting duties to escort Gossalyn and Honker to the county wide Science Fair.
Honker had to be the most excited. His favorite sciencetist, Dr. Rolland Bucks, was hosting the whole event, and the word on the street was he was going to reveal something that could change the entire world.
"Man" thought Darkwing, totally bored " why couldn't a decent crime happen today?"
This had been a very small crime week for Darkwing Duck. Just your avergae petty thieves and burgalars. The Fearsome Five hadn't made a move all week! What did it take for a superhero to get some action here?
Trumpets sounded, and soon Darkwing found himself being dragged over to a large platform where a crowd had gathered. Moments later, a tall, handsome, male duck emerged from behind the drapes and bowed to the auidience.
Darkwing huffed at the mallard's appearence. This sciencetist had apparently decided to borrow a few looks from the late Elvis Presley. His black hair had been set in the King's orginal style.
"I don't see why Honker idolizes this guy," mumbled Darkwing under his breath.
After the usual speech quotes, Dr. Rolland finally walked over to reveal his new invention, and yanked off the sheet.
"Ladies and Gentlemen" said Dr. Rolland " I present...Omega Rex!"
"Well it certianly is high-tech machinery," said Darkwing stunned.
The professor had really out done himself with this little marvel. Omega Rex was a gaint, high-tech super-computer with a gaint, red electric eye planted in the center of its mainframe, observing the crowd.
"What does Omega Rex do?" asked a reporter from the crowd.
"Omega Rex is the end to all of St. Canards problems" said Dr. Rolland " it will stop crimes, perform our every needs, allowing us the freedom to do whatever we desire,"
A cold chill suddenly ran up Darkwing's spine as a creepy sense of deja vu entered his mind. Not to long ago , he too, had obtianed a device that could run his entire life. Needless to say, DeeDee turned out to be a disaster, and tried to destroy him. He was lucky to get out of there alive.
Now this professor had invented something that could be just as dangerous as DeeDee. No doubt, Darkwing Duck was going to keep a very close eye on Omega Rex.
A few days later, after an unnamious vote from City Hall, Dr. Rolland was allowed to plug Omega Rex into the Central Computer Mainframe. Once installed, everything in St. Canard began changing.
Machines started to run everything in this city. Crooks were being plucked off the streets by robots, people were getting their income by just lazing around at home and doing nothing. If that wasn't enough Omega Rex ran all the T.V. stations too. That did it for Darkwing.
"That Omega Rex is a menace," Darkwing shouted.
"Actually Mr. Mallard" said Honker, who come over to their residence for a sleepover with Gossalyn " Omega Rex seems to be functioning perfectly,"
"Ah" said Gossalyn " he just upset that Omega Rex is hogging all the bad guy bashing action,"
"That repulsive, revolting circiutron!" shouted Darkwing, way beyond steamed " what use is a crimefighter, when there are no crimes to be fought?"
"Relax DW" said Launchpad, munching down on some popcorn " I'm sure we'll find some crime to fight,"
"Relax LP?" said Darkwing, his temper rising even more " look around! This city is already relaxed, when they should be on their guard! This Omega Rex is going to end up just like DeeDee, maybe worse! You'll see! Never trust an intellegent super-computer,"
Meanwhile, at the Central Computer Mainframe, Dr. Rolland did one last diagnostic on Omega Rex before letting out a big yawn and walking towards the door, a smile plastered on his face.
"Good night my wonderful creation" said Dr. Rolland " you have served the city well today,"
"Anything to please you Doctor," said Omega Rex, his electronic eye glowing red.
Suddenly the security features activated, and the door Dr. Rolland was about to step through was sealed shut by a steel plate. Shocked, the bewildered sciencetist glanced at Omega Rex, demanding what was going on.
"Did you really think I would waste all this power just to serve a few ducks and thier city?" said Omega Rex, letting out an evil laugh " I have much more, bigger plans,"
"You've gone mad" said Dr. Rolland " that's it, I'm shutting you down!"
With that said, Dr. Rolland stomped over to shut down Omega Rex, when millions of wires suddenly popped out of the floor, tangling the duck and stopping him in his tracks.
"Sorry Doctor" said Omega Rex " but I cannot allow you to do that,"
Without warning, Omega Rex sent a high electric charge through the wires entrapping his creator and burned the duck to a crisp. Soon there was nothing left of Dr. Rolland, but a burned corspe on the floor.
"Now" said Omega Rex " Rise my machines! Rise and destroy St. Canard!"
