Chapter 10. Villainous Rendezvous
Darkwing looked into the lovely emerald green eyes of his beautiful Morgana, as the two of them sat across from each other in their favorite meeting place, well, it was Morgana's favorite, having a moon lit supper in the grave yard wasn't exactly Darkwing's idea of a romantic date, but he wanted to please his lady love.
Between them was a table made of marble. They sat on the marble benches on each side of the table, which was elegant, with a candle lit setting for two.
An unusual looking wine bottle was set in the middle of the table, Darkwing picked it up and popping the cork poured some red wine into the goblet, sitting in front of Morgana.
She delicately handled it, savoring the bouquet of the wine and sipped it, smiling her approval, he then added more to her glass and poured some for himself.
Then they leaned across the table and entwined their arms with each other's glass meeting their lips in a romantic gesture, then setting their glass's down, bent nearer to each other and just before their lips met…… "Oh Dark Darling" "Morgana My love"
Suddenly there was a pounding noise as a skeleton hand was knocking on his head to get the Masked Mallard's attention…..
Darkwing was startled awake, falling out of his co-pilot seat and landing on the deck of the Thunderquack, looking around confused for a moment, he realized that he'd been having a dream and had been awakened by the now persistent knocking, on the hatch door.
Standing up, he looked out the windshield, then reached passed Launchpad, who was still asleep and snoring loudly, to flip a switch on the control panel of the jet, unlocking the hatch door.
As it opened a red mop top head appeared, "Sorry to disturb you guys, but something has come up…"
Gos who had been woken up by the noise yawned, looked over and spotted Multi standing in the hatchway she smiled and waved, "Hi Mark! What's up?" He waved back at the little duckling and Honker who was just sitting up and rubbing sleep out of his eyes, Launchpad who was a slightly heavier sleeper then the others, was awakened by Darkwing who forcefully gave his shoulder a nudge.
"Huh, What….." Launchpad exclaimed startled.
Multi started again now that they were all awake. "Sorry to wake you guys, but Big D wants to see us in his office right away, Fluey and Coiley are already there."
They all exited the Thunderquack, Launchpad used a remote to lock the hatch, similar the auto door locking devices, for ordinary cars.
Following Multi and Skittles back in through the door and down the hallway, they met FG just as they were getting to the elevator to go back up to the floor that Big D's offices were located on.
Stepping out of the elevator and walking the short distance to the door leading to Phyllis's outer office, they were all speculating on what was going on.
After the first meeting, there didn't seem to be anything more to discuss but, they figured, all would certainly be revealed once they reached the inner office.
Walking into the secretarial office, they found Fluey and Coiley, looking as perplexed as they were.
Phyllis hit her intercom switch, "They're all here now Chief."
"Send them in." Big D responded….
They went into his office and as soon as everyone had come in and were settled, Big D, who was sitting behind his desk stood and surveying the group for a moment, he cleared his throat then spoke…..
"Thank you all for coming in, (even though they wanted to ask questions , Big D's attitude and the slight tinge of tension in his voice, told them not to, until he had finished) something has arisen which demands our and your immediate attention."
Getting curious looks from everyone present, the head of SSHQ continued…
"We need your help Darkwing Duck, another aircraft similar to yours had been spotted over Megatropolis, this one is red, yellow and black in color and has just been sighted down town, near the International Trust Bank across from Cascade Park."
At the description of the jet, Darkwing and his group recognized it immediately, it could only be the NegaQuack.
The question was, how did they get through the portal?!
As they were coming to this realization, a report came in over the small screen on Big D's desk, it showed the Negaquack firing a small missile at the bank blowing the door right off it's hinges.
As they watched, ropes deployed from the beak shaped fuselage and several strange characters (well, to the humans anyway) slipped down the ropes and ran into the bank the last being a short white duck wearing a black mask and red hat, who was the same height and wore an outfit exactly like Darkwing's except that the color of his jacket was yellow and his cape was black with a red lining which matched the colors of the hovering jet.
It made Multi and Fluey, shiver, as they recognized the villains from Darkwing's universe, considering what NegaDuck had done to them, but they knew something had to be done immediately, considering Negaduck's propensity for violence.
"Diabolical Doubles, (exclaimed Multi) how did they, get here?"
"I'm afraid, the same way we did!" Darkwing said.
Everyone turned to look at him as he continued, "My Nefarious twin, must have invaded the lair at Darkwing Tower and found the flashquack we left behind, then figured out about the autopilot. I knew we should have dismantled it, or brought it with us like the plans that Honker had with him."
Just then a report came from inside the bank via cable hookup, it showed Negaduck along with the rest of the fearsome five holding some people at gun point, bank employees and customers.
To his horror, Coiley recognized his mother and younger sister among the hostages.
"Holy Mesopotamia!" shouted Fluey, as he and Multi recognized Martha and Courtney and standing next to them was Aunt Tillie and Multi's girlfriend, Shawn Smith.
The boys stood there stunned, then Coiley shouted, "Trembling Transistors, We have to do something!"
As they watched, the picture switched to a crowd which had gathered outside the bank, including the police and the news crew which had earlier covered the appearance of the Thunderquack…..
Using the tv cable hookup inside the bank, NegaDuck announced his demands, "I know your out there somewhere watching this Dipwing Duck, get the humans to call off the cops and clear the way, otherwise it's going to get ugly in here PDQ! AND don't try anything funny or there'll be a few LESS humans in here!"
Coiley was in shock not knowing what to do, then Darkwing spoke up, "If we get the area cleared they'll take off and we can catch them after they leave the bank!"
"Let's get going!" exclaimed all three Impossibles.
"I'm coming too!" FG said as they all headed for the door….
Big D and Phyllis watched them go, with very concerned looks on their faces.
The Impossibles, Skittles and FG climbed aboard the Impossi-mobile and took off with Multi at the wheel, after converting to jet mode.
After taking off, The Imposssibles, Skittles and FG went through their transformations into their super alter egos.
They were followed quickly, by the ThunderQuack, with Launchpad, Darkwing, Honker and Gosalyn aboard.
Despite Gos wanting to help, as always, Darkwing was adamant that the kids stay in the jet after they landed, making them promise not to budge, while he and Launchpad help The Impossibles with a rescue.
They headed toward Cascade Park, landing near the amphitheater where the Singing Imposssibles had performed, before thwarting a robbery by *The Burrower* who had tried robbing the same bank.
Re-grouping in the park they began to plan their strategy.
In the meantime, the Police had been notified to wait for a signal, to begin moving out of the way, to let the perpetrators leave.
In the park FG and Skittles who had transformed back to their regular selves, were getting ready to try to infiltrate the bank, so the others would have inside help, just incase they needed it.
FG wore a transmitting device and clipping on Skittles's leash, they started over to the bank across the street.
The NegaQuack was hovering right near the bank, so Bushroot who was in the jet, ready to land to pick up the rest of the gang, didn't see the ThunderQuack and the Imposssi-jet land in the park, he was too busy watching the entrance of the bank.
As she stood at the far side of the street, FG transmitted the signal to all the police who immediately began to clear out from the front of the bank.
MegaVolt who was just inside the busted front door, related to Negaduck what was happening.
The Masked Mallard of Menace, had been in the bank's vault, having blown it open, with one of his bombs. As he came out, he was looking over then pocketed a large pair of matching greenish gems called "The Empire Emeralds" which were being stored in the in the vault by a wealthy customer, he didn't want to leave empty handed and the money in the vault, was no good back in their universe.
Getting the word from MegaVolt, NegaDuck smirked, "About time they got SMART, Let's beat it, but incase this is a setup, Liquidator, grab that human kid, (indicating Courtney) MegaVolt, you grab that one over there, (he said pointing to Shawn) QuackerJack, you grab that older human, (indicating Tillie) those other humans outside won't risk trying anything, if we have them."
Before leaving with their hostages, NegaDuck looked over at the bank guards warning them, "Don't try to follow us, unless you're tired of living!"
FG and Skittles had reached the front of the bank, as the fearsome five were coming out of the bank, she allowed herself and Skittles to be grabbed by Negaduck, who was the last to exit the bank following his cohorts.
From the park The Impossibles, Darkwing and Launchpad watched the criminals and their human prisoners, coming out to the street.
They got ready to pull off the plan.
First Fluey transformed into his liquid form and was flying toward MegaVolt….
"Rally Ho Ho!" he shouted.
The large rat saw the stream of water streaking toward him and knowing how water effected him, MegaVolt released Shawn and ran.
Fluey transformed half way to his human form, arm extended and hand clenched in a fist and had nearly caught up to his target, when MegaVolt ducked and quickly changed direction, causing Fluey to miss him, but he hit QuackerJack square in the beak knocking the terrible toymaker flat and helping Aunt Tillie to escape.
Liquidater still had ahold of Courtney, who was trying to pull away and yelling at the top of her lungs.
The watery dog handed her off to MegaVolt who was now closer to him, just before he was hit with a canister of brownish powder. Darkwing had run across the street aiming at the liquid member of the fearsome five, intending to rescue Coiley's little sister.
As the canister hit the watery villain he solidified into a semi solid mass of chocolate pudding, as he shrieked "Manufacture's label recommends, Do Not Add Water!"
Darkwing loaded another canister into his gas gun as he ran after MegaVolt, who had hoisted the human girl over his shoulder and headed over to the ropes still hanging down from the open beak of the NegaQuack.
Grabbing hold of the rope with one hand while holding on to Courtney with the other and slipping his foot into a loop at the bottom of the rope, he yelled up to Bushroot who pushed a button starting the wench to retract the rope back into the jet.
Having just bearly missed a shot aimed at MegaVolt, Darkwing jumped as he reached the spot the electric rat and his captive were taking off from and managed to grab onto his leg. As they rose upward MagaVolt let go of Courtney just long enough to charged up his fingers and zapped Darkwing, causing the Masked Mallard to let go.
As he begin to fall backward from quite a height, after bringing out his gas gun and quickly loading the grappling hook, Darkwing was trying to shoot a grappling line up to the Negaquack, but his gas gun misfired, fortunately Multi had been after MegaVolt, he had multiplied upward catching Darkwing, then retracted his duplicates, safely landing with him, back onto the ground.
After setting him on the ground Multi, shouted "Rally Ho" and began multiplying rapidly upward again, trying to rescue Courtney, but before he could reach them, MegaVolt and Courtney, had disappeared inside the Negaquack and the beak had snapped shut, so all Multi succeeded in doing was to smash into the fuselage.
As he fell backward toward the ground, Coiley, who had spotted the big electric rat escaping with his sister, was after MegaVolt too, but he saw the red headed Impossible, fall backward after slamming into the jet, springing up he caught his team mate, bringing the temporarily stunned Multi safely back down to the ground.
As all this was happening Launchpad had run back over to the Thunderquack, to take off after the Negaquack.
Negaduck to his frustration, found his gang was getting beaten again, he also discovered too late, that the hostages he thought he had, were disguised super heroes.
FG transformed into her Fluid Girl persona, as Skittles did her patented back flip becoming Impossi-Pup. Growling, she turned on Negaduck, who remembering their last encounter, took off running as fast as he could.
In the Negaquack, Bushroot saw what was going on and swooped down, opening the front of the jet, scooping up both QuackerJack and the Solidified Liquidator before they could be captured and landed in time for NegaDuck to run right up the loading ramp in the beak before taking off again, but not before Impossi-Pup zipped up behind him and got ahold of his cape, she pulled back trying to keep Negaduck from escaping, ripping off a sizable piece of material, the backward momentum, sent the super pup rolling backward out of the jet, before the beak closed again, and the jet took off.
From the doorway of the bank Tillie, Shawn and Martha had watched The Impossibles and the others, trying to stop the strange robbers from getting away, ofcourse the only thing that was formost on Martha Collins's mind, was her little girl and she was praying her son Calvin and his team mates could catch the odd looking jet, she had seen that human-like rat and Courtney disappear into, dispite Mark and the human size duck in purple failing in their attempts, to rescue her.
The Impossibles, Darkwing, FG and Impossi-pup, raced back over to the park and jumped into the Impossi-jet, taking off and quickly gaining altitude, racing after the ThunderQuack, which was now chasing the Negaquack…
Just as they were closing on Nagaduck's jet, suddenly the Negaquack spun around, tilting slightly to one side, the hatch door flew opened and out came Courtney, seemingly tossed into midair, then the jet spun around again and took off, as she began falling.
Honker and Gos had horrifed looks on their faces, as they watched what was happening, but Launchpad expertly maneuvered the Thunderquack in a quick dive at the same time opening the canopy and coming up under her, than punching the hover button and standing up, he caught the human girl in his arms, just like he had caught Fluey in the lair.
She threw her arms around his neck hugging him gratfully, as Launchpad sat down with Courtney in his lap, pressing the button to close the canopy. She gave her avian rescuer a kiss on the cheek, causing Launchpad to blush, then smiling Courtney hopped off his lap.
Gos excitedly shouted "GREAT....CATCH....LAUNCHPAD!" She gave Courtney a big relieved hug, then said... "How about that catch, Great Save, huh Honk?......Honk?......Honker?" she turn back to look where the gosling had been standing, to find Honker flat on his back, in a dead faint.
As she and Courtney were trying to bring Honker around, Launchpad had quickly revved up and continued the chase after the Negaquack, but Negaduck's jet was quite a distance away already and suddenly vanished in a flash of bright light.
The Thunderquack came to a stop and was hovering as the Impossi-jet caught up and stopped beside them.
Coiley was beside himself with worry about his little sister. Launchpad opened the canopy again and seeing Courtney in the Thunderquack, smiling and waving he calmed down, relieved to see she was safe.
Everyone aboard the Impossi-jet, was relieved to see that the little girl was alright.
Since there was nothing more to do but return to SSHQ, Launchpad lowered the canopy back into place and both jets turned around and headed back to report in to Big D.
