A/n: I don't own Darkwing Duck, and I can't spell/abbreviate or use grammar properly... so you no like? I no change...

Chapter 3

Megavolt's Machine

The next thing Negaduck new was, he was standing on an identical dais in a strange metal room filled with monitors.

'Hey, Vanquisher Duck found some more people.' A voice said from somewhere below the dais.

'Negaduck...'

Negaduck looked to Darkwing. 'What?'

'Where did that device you stole land us?'

Negaduck shrugged. 'Dunno. I've never been here before.' He looked to the two people in lab coats who were standing at the bottom of the stairs.

'What was that purple cloud thing anyway?' The girl asked.

'A device that S.H.U.S.H has been working on for a while.' Darkwing informed her. 'A device that is suppose to be able to-'

'It opens a portal between two dimensions.' Negaduck said bluntly, aware that if it Darkwing continued with the explanation himself they'd all be standing their for weeks.

'This sounding familiar to you?' One of the scientists asked the other.

'Yeah... we tried making that thing about seventeen or so years ago.'

'Shall I call one of-'

'Don't bother... Vanquisher, told us about the situation.' A voice called over the hissing noise of the doors sliding open.

All five on the dais stared at the older version of Megavolt who walked into the room, looking quite calm about the entire situation.

'Guess it would've been terrible for her to-'

'Did you enjoy the ride?' Megavolt asked cutting across the scientist as he looked at the group on the dais. 'I bet you didn't think it'd be possible.' He said sounding quite cocky, he smiled. 'Come on down and I'll show you around.' He turned and headed for the door again.

'What, aren't you scared that we're contaminated or something?'

Negaduck could've knifed the girl for it, he had no intention, contaminated or not, to go a round of medicals when the interesting technology was elsewhere, but it didn't seem to faze any of the residents.

Megavolt turned, smiling even more. 'If you were infected she would've killed you on the spot... and the teleporter is programmed to reject anyone who's infected anyway.'

'Why bother programming it to do that if she's so thorough?' Negaduck asked casually.

Megavolt shrugged. 'I made the whole thing before she was even born.' He made to turn to the door again and faltered. 'Oh... and Darkwing.'

'Yeah?'

Megavolt looked to him. 'Don't go thinking that the reception you're about to get is yours.'

'Huh?' Darkwing looked just as baffled by that as Negaduck was. 'What reception?'

Megavolt looked at him. 'This isn't going to be just another "visit to an alternate universe"...' He turned and headed to the door. 'DS was the best there ever was.'

'Who?'

Megavolt paused as the doors hissed open. 'Darkwing Saviour...' He looked over his shoulder to the group. 'Everyone in this universe owes their life to him.'

Darkwing looked to Negaduck. 'This making any sense to you?'

Negaduck looked back to the crime-fighter. 'No, but I guess it will in a bit.'

'Keen Gear! Real-life zombies and now...' The girl looked around. 'Where are we anyway?'

Megavolt shrugged. 'You'll see... and tone down the enthusiasm about the zombies... it's not as exciting after you've been living in it for sixteen years.'

Negaduck's brow furrowed. 'How old are you, Megavolt?'

Megavolt looked around. 'Forty-four.'

There was a long pause as everyone finally followed him dumbly, how could this have happened? Negaduck wondered, the portaliser was made to open portals but not through time.
