Chapter 4 Closer and Scroodge McDuck

Aboard the USS Enterprise Stardate unknown.

"Captains log Star Date unknown. We are two weeks from the planet that seems to have warp capabilities; hopefully they will be friendly to us and help us to our needs. We have been listening to interesting old style radio communications. Some seem like old style radio commercials from old Earth centuries ago and others seem like radio transmissions about something about overdrive as they call it, also recordings of a war or something happening as we move closer. Something about needing overdrive about pirates one wonders what type of planet this is." Kirk recorded on his log.

Lt. Callahaway was in her quarters getting ready for her afternoon shift severing Captain Kirk as his afternoon and early evening yeomen. She had fantasized what it would be like on an alien planet for the first time. She was trying on normal clothing instead of wearing her uniform like she was supposed to. Then she heard a communications beep.

Beep beep beep. "Lt. Callhaway are you alright?" she heard Captain Kirks voice on the intercom in her room. "Alright, alright already geez." She whined. "Lt are you there?" Spock said this time.

Alicia went the intercom and pressed the button. "Yes Mr. Spock I am fine." She said in whinny voice.

"Please come to the bridge and deliver the Captain's coffee and report." Mr. Spock ordered.

"Yes sir!" she said in an angry tone with her teeth gritted. "And when you are finished I will need your assistance in scanner repairs."

"Yes sir'! Alicia immediately got dressed to her uniform and went to the mess hall to get Captain kirks coffee and report. Then went to the main turbo shaft.

"Bridge!" she said as she got in.

As soon as she got to the bridge, Kirk turned in his chair.

"Ah their you are Lt. Callhaway Kirk said

"Your afternoon coffee and report sir" she said with a frown.

"Don't worry Alice you will be on the away party with us." Kirk said with a Smile.

"Lt Callhaway can you assist me now please" Mr. Spock said.

"Aye sir"

"Then Sulu got some of more of Uheras radio transmissions."

"Sir these transmissions are very weird talks of Swatzis surrendering and an atomic bomb being dropped on some country called Japine."

"Fascinating" Spock said. They appear to be having a similar history to your
old earth history.

"Yes but they didn't have warp capabilities during our World wars. But someone
down there is an exception" Kirk said.

"Mr. Chekov is it possible because we are so far away at the moment that time
seems to be going faster and were receiving a similar history to out own?"

"Absolutely sir, I'm sure when we come in closer in a few days our time will be matching theirs. I say we will be in their 1950's sir" Chekov said in his Russian accent.

"hmm very interesting a society with warp capabilities yet is primitive. I wonder….…" Kirk says.

Duckburg Airport. 3:14 39 seconds

The Sea Duck was coming in fast as it was on Overdrive. Mr. McDuck was waiting at the airstrip looking at his gold pocket watch with the money symbol on it of course.

"Bust my Bagpipes!" Scroodge screamed as he saw the plane coming in super fast. But then came out of Warp drive and slowed to a soft landing. The doors opened with smoke because the plane was hot. Baloo came out first and helped his wife out.

"Ah Baloo there you are."

"Hey there Mr. McDuck long time no see." Baloo said with a cheer and shook his hand so hard that McDuck moved up and down.

"Nice to see you too Baloo." He said shaken up.

"Hello Mr. McDuck I'm Rebecca Von Bruenwald, the co-owner of Higher for Hire, I'm glad to meet you in person" Rebecca shook Scrooge's hand."

"Nice to meet you too Mrs. Von Bruenwald, now down to business. The reason I hired you is because your husband is the best damn pilot in the world and has this interesting gizmo attached to his plane making it the fastest on the planet. Now I forgive you for the betrayal shit you pulled on me a while back. However one slip up and you're fired! Are we clear?''

"Yes Mr. McDuck we understand right Baloo?" Rebecca gave her husband stares.

"Oh yes we understand perfectly clear." Baloo said with a grimace and squeezed his hat.

"Now I have bought five former Kahn Factories in Cape Suzette which are going to be refitted with new McDuck tools and equipment. My secretary has informed you that I will be paying you 5000 per delivery and an extra 2000 for gas and food. Is that satisfactory?"

"Yes sir baby… "Yes that will be very satisfactory" Rebecca cut off her husband.

"We will be happy to do so. How many deliveries do you think we will have?"

"I should say about 20 deliveries. Two a day." The duck said

"But sir Duckburg is 3000 miles apart how do you expect us to deliver so
quickly and on time?'' Becky asked. "That's what your overdrive is for isn't it?"

"But Mr. McDuck if it burns out we will be out for months and deliveries would be slower." Baloo chimed in.

"That's not my problem. Do you want the job or not?" Scroodge demanded.

Baloo and Rebecca gave a quick look at each other.

"Yes we will take the job" Rebecca said with a sigh

The first set of cargo was being loaded to the plane. Rebecca signed the contracts while Baloo got help from Scrooge's employees to load up the Sea Duck. What the Von Bruenwalds didn't know was that Kahn had men spying on them and there were air pirates also spying in Duckburg.

Midway to Cape Suzette, Baloo was getting tired. He took the overdrive off since he was the only one who could fly with it on. Rebecca wasn't experienced enough to fly with it on. Becky took over flying in normal mode while Baloo switched seats.

"Man I'm tired" Baloo said

Becky grinned seductively. "How about after this shipment we can refuel and fly to Louie's for dinner and some dancing butterball?"

Baloo lit up "Oh yeah know your talking my language sister." Rebecca giggled.

"Come hear you" Rebecca seductively said the two bears were snuggling when shooting was heard. It was Karnage and some of his air pirates.

"Oh no!" they said in unison.

Baloo immediately switched seats with Rebecca.

"Holo Baloo and annoying Baloo's wife business lady. "This is the hansom and resilient pirate Don Karnarge here. I now am going to plunder your expansive cargo yes/no the wolf said in his French/Spanish accent.

"Not this time Karnny!"

Rebecca got to the guns and started shooting back. She actually hit one.

"I got one!"

"Great kid, don't get cocky."

"Ooo he makes me so mad. Karnage ordered the turbo props to come out of the Iron vulture.

"Time to say adios Karnny."

Baloo saw the turbos coming out of the vulture. Baloo pushed the Overdrive
button. The Sea Duck went into high speed again.

"Bye Karny!"

The air pirate's planes spun around and some of them crashed to the ground as the Sea Duck left.

Then Baloo noticed that the special fuel was very low for the Overdrive.

"Becky we have to take it out of Overdrive or we'll never be able to fix this."

"I guess we'll have to be late for this shipment. I guess we can get away with it if I radio in one of your white lies."

Becky grinned. Baloo turned off the overdrive. "Ha ha you know me too well."

The two shared a brief kiss and Rebecca made up a white lie excuse of being late on the radio to McDuck's people in Cape Suzette. Though some it was somewhat the truth.

As soon as they got home and finished there shipment, Rebecca changed into something nicer for going out to Louie's.

Molly told her parents that she would be spending the night at a friend's house.

Wildcat refueled the airplane and Baloo and Rebecca flew to Louie's

"Baloo my man what's happening?" Louie greeted.

"Not much just the wife and I having some dinner and dancing."

"Right on cuz!"

After dinner Baloo and Rebecca were about to dance when Khans men showed up.
