"-stupid, dim-witted, goody-goody, poor excuses for bad guys! In fact, I
deride your evil-doing abilities. No evil-doers are you!" Negaduck
finished, taking a long, deep breath as he looked at his poor excuses for
workers. They had all practically melted into their chairs, he'd been
chewing them out for the past fifteen minutes. What fun!
"Sorry boss!" Cried QuackerJack, holding his puppet protectively as the group settled back into their seats shakily. Negaduck enjoyed seeing the huge-eyed-full-fledged-fear looks on their faces.
"Yeah! It won't happen again!" Bushroot whimpered in agreement.
"Ditto!" Megavolt nodded enthusiastically.
"Four out of four villains beg; accept our apology!" Came the horribly informercial based voice of the Liquidator. Negaduck sighed, and turned the back of his chair to face them. Let them wiggle in fear, he thought to himself.
Megavolt looked over at Mina, she and Jocie were tied up to two chairs, back-to-back, on the other side of the room. His younger cousin looked less than pleased, and glared at Negaduck from behind her gag.
"B-b-boss?" QuackerJack ventured, after a few minutes of dead silence had lapsed.
"What?!" Came an evil reply from the chair.
"NEVERMIND!" The jester cried, trying his best to hide in his chair.
"Does he have a reason for calling us here, dear?" Mr. Banana Brain rhymed quietly from the armrest of QuackerJack's chair. Megavolt shushed him.
"Probably just to chew us out.." He mumbled.
"Actually, Sparky," The group gulped as the chair turned to profile their leader. "I do have a reason for assembling you dolts here today." He reached onto his desk quickly, causing his aforementioned gang to shriek and pull backwards. He lifted his remote, cackling a bit at their jumpy nerves, and pushed the 'play' button. The group, including Mina in the corner, turned to look at a large T.V lowering from the ceiling. A newscast flashed onto the screen.
"-local authorities beg the city-dwellers to lock their doors, and stay inside tonight. A mutant creature has been rampaging the city, taking down everything in it's way. Police have released no information as of yet, but the creature is suspected to be B.A.B.Z's very own, Dr. Felicia Fuhr. Subject of a prank gone bad? Spliced DNA of an experiment? Who knows." A few images of the mass destruction caused by the creature flashed across the screen. Negaduck hit another button, and the T.V clicked off and flew back into the ceiling.
"That was nice, Vice." Said Mr. Banana Brain before QuackerJack clapped his hand over his mouth.
"But what has it got to do with us?" The Liquidator said, bubbling slightly. Negaduck turned his glare to Bushroot and Megavolt, who had sunken a bit into their seats.
"Our little friends here know something they aren't telling us..." He prodded silently.
"Come again, Ben?"
"WOULD YOU SHUT THAT DOLL UP!" Negaduck cried, turning to QuackerJack. He yelped, and sat on his puppet. "Don't lie to me, you two," He returned his gaze to Bushroot and Megavolt. "I saw the interesting little mark on it's cheek.. a lightning bolt. How quaint. Who is she?"
"I.. I dunno.." Squeaked Megavolt.
"I beg to differ.."
"OK!" Megavolt cried as Negaduck stood, and looked at Mina. "I.. I kind of... well, spliced her together with a lion.."
"What?"
"She's a combination of a lion and a fox...." Silence. "It.. it was an accident!" He cried, as Negaduck stepped towards him.
"Really, that's a shame." He took his seat again, and turned to face the fearsome four. "Listen up, here is what I want you to do. It's relatively simple, so if you mess it up... there's a chainsaw in the back with all of your names on it."
"How'd ya manage to find a chainsaw like that!"
"QUACKERJACK!" The other three cried instantly. Negaduck said nothing for a long time, enjoying the nervous looks and shifts of the fearsome four.
"You are to break into the jail, and rescue our newest member."
"WHAT!" Megavolt gasped, then yelped. "I mean.. uh.. you've talked to her?"
"No,"
"Then how do you know she-"
"SILENCE!" The rat fell out of his chair, and scrambled back into it quickly. "I'm sure that after talking with me, she won't be able to refuse." He went into a fit of evil, cackling laughter as Megavolt and Bushroot exchanged worried looks.
"Sorry boss!" Cried QuackerJack, holding his puppet protectively as the group settled back into their seats shakily. Negaduck enjoyed seeing the huge-eyed-full-fledged-fear looks on their faces.
