Just another day
By Sharan McQuack, Launchpad's wife.
Inspired and loosely based on by "Seeds of Victory".
Psst! Disney! The site isn't secure and my
computer won't let me on it! Help!
One day, Launchpad delivered a load of fertilizer to
the Island of Quackatoa.(1) It had a volcanic eruption
recently and a lot of it's farmland had been ruined,
they needed the fertilizer badly to start over.
Still, nobody makes a fuss over fertilizer no matter
how badly it's needed. It's taken for granted.
So Launchpad got razzed over this unimportant
delivery.
"Not all my deliveries can be important." Launchpad
shrugged.
But once he had made that delivery, Launchpad was
asked to deliver some native art and gem stones found
on the Island.
"Now that's more like it." Launchpad said, knowing
that this delivery was considered important.
However, somehow news of this delivery leaked out….
It was supposed to be a secret, but somebody told
somebody else who told somebody else….Launchpad
didn't have time to talk nor anybody to talk to.
Not long after Launchpad had taken off, heading back
to Duckburg, did he realize that he was being followed.
There were several planes behide him, trying to catch up
with him. They were clearly after his cargo.
"How do these morons think they are going to rob
me in midair?" Launchpad asked himself.
Launchpad had no idea, but he stepped on the gas
and managed to lose them. Launchpad's plane was
a lot faster than theirs due to some interesting modifications
Launchpad has made to his planes.
Only to run into other planes heading right towards
them.
()()They got to be Beagles. Both bunches. I've been
stuck between rival clans of Beagles, competing
to try and rob me before!()() Launchpad thought.(2)
So Launchpad gunned it again, trying to lose
them. These guys were almost as fast as he was
and could not be as easily "lost" and the Beagles
were far in the middle of the ocean by now, far away
from the authorities.
The Beagles started shooting at Launchpad. Launchpad,
not being allowed to arm his planes, dodged and dove,
which often resulted in the crooks accidentally
shooting at each other!
As the other planes got closer, Launchpad aimed
his fire hose at them, full force. This blinded them
temporally and Launchpad tried to lose them in
a cloud bank.
However, the cloud bank wasn't big enough and
they spotted him as Launchpad flew out of the
cloud bank.
By this time, Launchpad had enough of playing
potsy and decided to lose these losers for good.
()() Good thing I took this plane.()() Launchpad
thought.
This particular plane Launchpad had made submersible.
Launchpad now dove his plane into the ocean and
changed direction. The other planes of course couldn't
follow and couldn't figure out which way Launchpad
went.
The Beagles were baffled.
Since Launchpad isn't allowed to arm his plane (commercial
pilot, not a military pilot)he equipts his planes with such surprises to
even the field.
BUT….when Launchpad approached Duckburg, he found more
planes waiting for him. The Beagles know where Launchpad
lives and waited till they saw his plane approaching and then
took off in pursuit of him and his cargo.
Since he was near home this time, Launchpad called for help.
I soon came to help my Launchpad. I joined him in circling
the stupid planes, making them dizzy.
The Beagles got mad.
They started shooting again.
"Hey stupid Beagles! I landed in St. Canard and delivered
my cargo there! My plane is empty!" Launchpad said,
via the radio.
The Beagles made a HUGE mistake firing guns so close to
shore. The cops and the air force soon arrived in planes
and copters, surrounding the Beagles planes.
They were forced to land, we landed without fuss until
the authorities could straighten this out.
Took a while, but the Beagles were arrested and we
were freed to go.
The End.
