Chapter 4
Present Day
The Foursome of Fury; combining their efforts with those of Mage, Lady Lightning, Demigoddess and Think Tank; engaged the two 30-foot robots while Beau and Skylark tried to confront Bonnie and her guard robots.
Unfortunately, the larger robots proved to be no easy contest. Demigoddess and Kid Quackules attempted to employ their combined strength on one of the robots, but the metal the robots were made of was incredibly tough and the robots were also equipped with electro defense shields that deliver shocks potent enough to penetrate the force fields of both heroes. Speed Prince and Lady Lightning tried a super-speed assault, but the robots were equipped with hypersonic speed-sensitive tracking abilities AND lower-wrist- mounted hyper-gravity blasters that rendered the two heroes too heavy to move.
The robots tried to use sonic disrupter shoulder cannons on Quiverwing and Mage (who had just introduced himself), but the latter teleported himself and the former out of the path of the blasts trying to teleport her some place she could focus on taking her shots at the automated giants.
Now that she knew Mage could teleport, Quiverwing requested "Mage, I believe it is. Anyway, do you think you can teleport us inside the robots? It could give me a clear shot with some of my arrows."
Mage, with a regretful sigh, admitted "Sorry, Quiverwing. No can do. These robots are equipped with teleportation shielding. Megavolt specifically designed these robots to be fully equipped to fight not just me, but also everybody else our era's Megavolt frequently clashes with. It's all I can really do is dodge these robot's attacks."
Major Mind and Think Tank, realizing the robots were too massive for their telekinetic powers to do any good (even trying to mentally reversing the effects of the robots' hyper-gravity rays wouldn't do much good because of the way the robots were designed), were focusing on coming up with a plan, but it was extremely heard to pin point the robot's weakest points. Think Tank tried a hyper-gravity ray gun of her own on the massive robots, but they were equipped with gravity compensators. However, they DID flip the reverse on Think Tank's hyper-gravity ray and use it to free Speed Prince and Lady Lightning just as Kid Quackules and Demigoddess recovered from the electrical shock..
Just then, Darkwing and Launchpad showed up on the Ratcatcher and the former fired a massive flare over the head of the giant robots AND super-slippery wax cartridges directly at the robots' feet. Quiverwing took advantage of the diversion created by Darkwing to fire a line arrow toward Speed Prince, who caught it. Making sure to stay clear of the floor wax, Speed Prince managed to run around the legs of the robots and wrapping the cord around said legs. After that, the eighteen-year-old super-speedster sticks a lightning rod on the cables. Though the robots themselves are waterproof, Kid Quackules and Demigoddess still thoroughly soaked the automated giants... Just in time for Lady Lightning to unleash a massive optic lightning blast aimed right for the rod itself.
The robots weren't completely shorted out by the cable-conducted force of Lady Lightning's optic electrical blast (which was intensified by the robots being soaked), but their defense shields were briefly down; allowing the two physically strongest of the heroes present to both use their super-strength to pull the robots down AND employ full-combined strength punches to make holes in the robots' chests. Lady Lightning finished taking down one robot with optic lightning aimed for within. Quiverwing defeated the other automaton with a well aimed explosive arrow that detonated inside the mechanical behemoth's chest.
Unfortunately, by the time the heroes defeated the two giant robots, Bonnie and the smaller "bodyguard" robots had gotten away, despite the best efforts of Beau, Skylark and Launchpad. All that was left where Bonnie, the Time Top and the bodyguard robots were just minutes ago was some patch of ground that was now no longer covered by snow and two circular holes in snow patches that had gotten a fair amount bigger. The very bottoms of the holes had blackened parts of uncovered ground.
"Dang it! I forgot that Megavolt equipped the Time Top with jet-flight capabilities," Beau groaned.
"What in blazes is going on here? And what are all of you doing on MY turf?" Darkwing said to all the other heroes present except Launchpad and Quiverwing.
"We are here on the trail of a foe who should be very familiar to you, but is actually the 25 years more experienced version." Think Tank started to explain telepathically to the present day heroes just as Morgana teleported to the scene and Gizmoduck arrived on his wheel... the latter of which caused Darkwing to groan even louder.
"I saw this on the news and hurried right over. Where did the villains go?" Gizmoduck commented and asked.
"That's what we are trying to find out ourselves, Mister Gizmoduck." Demigoddess commented.
"You didn't finish answering my question. Which villain are you after?" Darkwing asked knowing full well that these heroes were not going to leave until after their quarry is defeated and captured and decided that being cooperative was the quickest way to get the newcomer heroes (and Gizmoduck) out of his city since the sooner their business was concluded, the sooner they'd leave.
"You should be familiar with this villain because it is Megavolt... plus 25 years experience, a lot of added power and a great deal of added evil." Think Tank commented telepathically in the heads of the collection of present day heroes.
"We figured that much out from the arrival of the robots and that one female cyborg. And those WERE two rather tough robots. It's a good thing Da...rkwing showed up when he did. It seems the robots weren't expecting it." Quiverwing admitted to the future heroes based on Think Tank's telepathic explanation.
"That's correct. The robots were able to give US a hard time because Megavolt is used to fighting us and, in the cases of the Foursome of Fury, their 25 years more experienced counterparts. Darkwing, on the other hand, is pretty much retired by our time (though he DOES keep in excellent shape for a duck in his early-60s), so the robots weren't programmed to expect him. Megs DOES still have the OCCASIONAL bout of absent-mindedness." Mage admitted before adding "And let's just say we ARE here on a mission of VERY vital future importance... to you as well as to us. That's all we can say here and now. We'll go into more detail back at Darkwing Tower. Errrr... Missus Mallard, would you be so kind as to assist me in teleporting all of us AND our time machine to Darkwing Tower? I can't manage this big a crowd all by myself." looking at Morgana as he finished.
Morgana nodded as she and Mage combined their teleportation powers.
