Ch.9: A Dark Star Is Born

Just seconds before the saw could slice apart Danger Duck, the Loonatics at that percise moment decide to make thier entrance. Blitz Krieg turned around, glaring at the Loonatics. Rev sped off from the others to help Duck, while Ace and the gang faced off againist Blitz.

Duck breathes a sigh of relief as Rev disables the saw and frees him from his bonds. To his luck, Sylth Vester barges in to help Blitz Krieg, when he sees Duck is free, and that Loonatics were there he knew this wasn't going to be easy.

"Don't just stand there!" cried Blitz " just get that Duck!"

Sylth Vester grabbed for Duck, but by this time, the effect of the drain chains had worn off and Duck teleported out the way. Rev sped in and delt Sylth Vester with a volley of blows, landing the cat on his back.

Back with Ace and the others, Blitz Krieg is proving to be one tough opponent to beat. Blitz had already fired about a million lightning bolts thier way and chances for victory were looking slim. Rev was fixin' to speed over there and help, but he saw Duck clutching to his stomach tight.

"Are you sick?" asked Rev.

"It feels like it" said Duck " it's like I'm being burned from the inside out,"

Rev's eyes welled in fear as he remembered what Tech said about Black Lightning's little "gift", if the egg hatched inside Duck now who knows what would happen.

"I got to stop this before it starts," he thought, but just as he going to grab Duck, Duck yelled and a red light had surrounded him drawing everyone's attention.

Danger Duck's eyes landed on the Loonatics, they were glowing red! Blitz Krieg faced Danger without a second thought and fired out a birade of lightning bolts, but to his surprise Danger seem to be affected by it. Instead, the glowing Duck stepped forward and blasted Blitz straight in the chest.

Even though Blitz was made of lightning, he crumpled to the floor like a sack of potatoes. As the final indignity, Duck killed him, surprising all the Loonatics and Sylth Vester who had just regained conious. Without even looking his way, Duck blasted Sylth Vester too, and the cat warrior also died. His nine lives were up.

The Loonatics stared at Danger Duck, not believing what they had just seen, Duck had just killed two people! Danger's eyes were glowing red as he stared at his former teammates.

"Who's laughing now?" said Duck, and teleported away in a flash of red.

When Duck reappeared, he was back in Acmetropolis, ready to destroy. Tech on the other hand was surprised that Duck had completely disappeared.

"He shouldn't be able to teleport that far" said Tech when a sudden realzation struck him "unless the egg gave him a new power! He can probally just think of a place and be sent there instantly!"

"Great" said Ace " but how do we find out where he is?"

"Where else do villians usually go?" said Lexi sarcastically.

The others looked at her and nodded, knowing just the place she was thinking of, Acmetropolis.
