Dynamic Duo

Chapter 7


Drake and Elmo were both led to a small room. Elmo had tried to struggle, but alas, Chanticleer's henchmen were too much. He peered over to Drake, who looked defeated. In Drake's eyes, Darkwing was dead again. And that rooster was to blame. Elmo glared up at the fiend.

"Careful! You keep making that face; it might just sicks that way." Chanticleer responded. He then had the henchmen tie up the boys to the chairs. He strode over to a nearby desk with laptop on it. After punching in a few letters, he had up on his screen the Permanent Record of a Drake Mallard.

"Man Drakey, these are some serious grades! It says here your failing science."

"It's not like it matters now." Drake just looked down.

"Drake! You have to snap out of this!" Elmo tried to reason with his friend. If they were going to get out of here alive, he need Drake's head on straight.

"Shut up Rats!" Chanticleer continued to read off the record. "Cumulative GPA of 2.3. And next to nothing on Extra Curricular activities."

"Again I ask, why does that matter?" Drake was getting a little angry. He always did when people looked down on him for his grades. Elmo saw a slight spark back in his eyes. Maybe there was some hope left.

"Oh it matters! I've had some plans for you. And it looks like I'm gonna get my wish." Chanticleer closed the laptop and grinned at Drake. He reached into his jacket. Elmo panicked. He had to distract the rooster from killing Drake.

"What's gonna happen at the science fair?!" Elmo blurted out.

"Huh?" Drake was confused.

"What do you know about the science fair Rats. And more importantly, who have you told" Chanticleer grabbed Elmo by the collar and lifted him up. The whole chair went with him.

"Actually I know very little."

"Oh well in that case…" He turned back to Drake.

"It's just…" Elmo continued. Chanticleer turned around, angry now. "This just seems like this is the moment when the megalomaniac villain has the hero's cornered and he reveals his whole plot."

"Gee is it that moment?" Chanticleer thought.

"Oh yeah. You got us tied to the chair, death is looming over head." Elmo continued

"Well I guess. You see this is my first real plot at world domination"

"I completely understand." Elmo smiled.

"Oks, well I suppose I'll tells ya. You'll both notice the number of friends I've made in past couple of days. Whereas my good looks and stunning charms have helped, this little baby…" He reached into his jacket and pulled out a small disk like object with a spiral on it. "gets most of the credit."

"What is it?" Drake asked.

"It's a hypnosis device devised by my organization. The King was working on one that used sound waves. He was gonna take over the whole city in a matter of days. Till that dipwing…"

"Darkwing!" Drake exclaimed.

"My apologies, Darkwing ruined his plan and sent him to jail. But that was always the King's problem. He wasn't patient. Me on the other hand, I can wait a few years."

"You still haven't answered the question"

"Ah yea. Well let me pose another question. What does every leader need in order to take over the world? The answer…An Army! And I am building mine one middle school at a time."

"Your brainwashing kids to use as minions for world domination."

"Bingo! There are two problems though. One, the device only works on the less intelligent of creatures. And Two, because it takes so long to build an army, it's rather obvious when a couple hundred kids go missing."

"So you used the brainwashed numbskulls to kidnap the smarter ones…" Elmo continued on his trail.

"And then you ransom off everyone for a hefty price funding your organization." Drake followed.

"Then when everyone pays and gets there kids back, you've mixed everyone up." Elmo followed again.

"Then when the time comes, I call everyone back and the world is mine." Chanticleer finished.

"You've collected almost everyone." Drake responded.

"Everyone but the eggheads" For some reason that was really funny to Chanticleer and he started laughing again.

"The Science Fair! Your gonna kidnap all the winners at the Science Fair" Elmo exclaimed.

"So that's it that's my evil plan Rats!" Again he laughed. But as he did so he handled the device and hovered over Drake. "And now Drakey, its your turn to join the fun." Drake stared up at the spiral, his eyes glazed and he was lost.
