De doctors at de 'ospital did what dey could to repair my beak. Dey tried ta repair it wit' plaster and two operations, but nothin' really woiked. De doctors performed two surgeries on me, but ended up screwin' up and makin' it look woise. As a last resort, dey called in F.O.W.L's prosthetic team to do what dey could.
After a invasive nine-hours of surgery, I was fitted wit' a new beak. Made completely outta metal, it would not only give me a new name, but a new life and sense of security as well. I no longer felt ugly and loathsome. Long gone were de days were people viewed me as a worthless, deformed creature. I was now good lookin' and proud as a king! De new beak gave me a dangerous edge, and I would be both respected and feared. One snap of dis baby once sent ten people fleein'. Now dat's power!
At last, I 'ad a mask ta 'ide my past from de woild. I could get on wit' life now. Audios to a life of cruelty! Goodbye freak shows. Goodbye dysfunctional family. Hello F.O.W.L!
Before leavin' my ol' place in Coney Island fer good, I spat upon the face of my mother and left laughin'. I was a real joik all right, but what I did to 'er was nothin' comparied to de cruelty she made me go t'rough. I suppose I was too much of a gentlemen to do more to 'er. I could'a killed 'er when I 'ad da chance, but I didn't, as tempting as it was. Besides, I was already in enough trouble wit' da law. I didn't need murder atop of car theft and robbery.
Woikin' wit' F.O.W.L sent me livin' in de lap of luxury. Among many t'ings, dey gave me a real nice an' snazzy apartment, complete wit' jacuzzi, insurance and all de trainin' I needed to become de top F.O.W.L agent. In gratification fer givin' me a new life, I made a promise to 'Igh Command dat I would woik my butt off to become de greatest agent ever.
Dis would be no ordinary
nine ta five job. Spendin' an entire year in trainin', I was
on my way to keepin' my promise. My trainer was Diamond, a gorgeous
blonde 'aired feline who really showed me da ropes. If it weren't
for 'er, I'd be "just an agent". Diamond taught me all it took ta
become a top agent, from pullin' forgeries ta stealth techniques and black
mail. Overtime, we became more den just partners.
It was on de eleventh
month of trainin' dat 'Igh Command decided to place me on de list of da
top agents. Eventually, I'd become Cheif Agent. It would mean
more respect, more money. I would 'ave cute secretaries to flirt
wit' and stupid Eggmen to boss around. All sounds like fun, eh?
Lemme tell ya, it all sounded too good ta be true. It most definitely wasn't all champagne and caviar. Bein' Chief Agent meant dat I'd 'ave more trouble wit' Darkwing; my woist occupational nightmare.
