Chapter 4:
Told by Megavolt:
Finally, after 3 nights without being able to commit any crime, we got the permission to do our job again. Wow, that was the best night ever! Quackerjack, the Liquidator and me, we were a very great, unstoppable team. Together, it seemed we were immortal. I don't even know where we started that night, maybe with the shop of the jeweller Martinsson. We broke into different shops, just to hear the alarm system whining and to attract Darkwing. It was fun, really, the best night I ever had! The police didn't know where to find us, we were too quick for them. It had been half past nine when we started and Darkwing caught us at 10 o'clock. I perfectly remember him in this moment, with his pathetic gas pistol and his fellow right on his side, thinking he had us, but we knew we had him. Or, Negaduck had him.
, What a interesting team. But I miss your leader, Negaduck? Didn't he want to join you?' asked Darkwing, looking so self-confident. I smiled while I repeated:, He already joined us, Darkwing, he's just working at a different place.' Everybody saw how the famous crime fighter hesitated, just a second, but I saw it. And was pleased., A place you should know more well than any of us,' said Quackerjack. The situation was almost like in a thriller. Darkwing was irritated, looking at each of us to discover what this was about., What do you mean?' he asked., But Drakey, can't you imagine?' I said gentle, but with a dangerous undertone.
Boing!
The gas pistol fell out of Darkwing's hand, on the road., How--- how do you know?' he stammered. We all laughed at him, before the Liquidator said:, Now, imagine, we although know, where you live and - what's the most important- who lives with you.' The crime fighter stood there, silent, shocked, than suddenly understanding., Gos,' he whispered., My god!'
I never saw anyone jump on a motorbike so fast like this duck.
Told by Drake Mallard:
Gosalyn was winning, like always. She knew how to play a game like monopoly, where you need to know what to do with the money. Launchpad was broke after only 5 rounds and I was going broke, too, just as, at half past nine, the alarm system of my computer began to whine. I jumped on my feet and started the computer. There were a lot of crimes shown, I couldn't believe my eyes!
,Launchpad!' I shouted., Get the motorbike ready.', Aye,' he said and went out. Gosalyn was looking very disappointed., Dad, why can't you leave it to the police? Please, just once!' , Gos, you know I can't! Look at all these red points on the monitor! The police can never handle such a mess!' I know, I should have been disappointed just like her, and maybe I was, but I was excited, too. Work! There was something I could do! , Then, take me with you,' begged Gosalyn., No, Gos, it's too dangerous. It's more safer for you to stay at home.' I said and this time, I really thought it was. How should I take care at Gosalyn when there was so much work to do? Of course, she got angry., Well, then, go! Go to your god damned work you adore so much! I believe it is ten thousand times better than spending time with me!' She ran up to her room, slamming the door, before I could say something. I wanted to follow her, but time was pressing and I thought I could do it tomorrow morning, too.
So I went to my headquarters, where Launchpad was already waiting, got on the motorbike and rode on.
It took me 30 minutes to find the criminals. They were old acquaintances. Quackerjack, Megavolt and the Liquidator. I wondered where Negaduck was, for I never saw the three together, but without him. I thought they would be easy to catch, not knowing they had caught me.
When Megavolt called my secret name, I first realised something very terribly was going on. And this suspicion came true when they said they knew about Gosalyn. My worsest imagination came true., Negaduck.' I thought, jumping on my bike, Launchpad following me and driving home, as fast as I could.
Told by Bushroot:
Negaduck and I watched Darkwing's house out of a bush, looking right through the window., We just have to wait,' said Negaduck calm, but I felt his eagerness. At half past nine, Darkwing and his fellow suddenly disappeared. We waited 5 more minutes, than Negaduck went slowly to the front door. , Shall I ring the bell?' I asked., Are you kidding, Bushroot?' he answered., We are not here to have a little small talk!' And he opened the door by running against it. The house was beautiful furnished. Negaduck pulled out a gun., Just in case this girl tries any tricks,' he said as he saw my shocked look. , Now, where could she be?' he whispered to himself, as he saw the stairs, leading upwards. , Maybe there.' He went up and looked at 3 different doors. First, he opened the left one, but it was just the bathroom. Than he opened the right one - some kind of storeroom. He smiled devilish and opened the door in the middle. Standing in front of her bed stood the red-haired girl, looking surprised and timid as she recognized us., Negaduck! Bushroot!' she screamed. , Very well, my dear.' said Negaduck. She searched a way to escape, but there was none. , How long have I waited for this moment to come. When I can ruin Darkwing's life so he will never ruin my plans again. Ah, this feels so good.' He aimed his weapon on the girl. , What a bad father he is, the good Darkwing Duck.' He wanted to shoot at her, but I jumped between him and the girl., What do you think are you doing?' I asked., Finish my plan? Go out of my way!' Negaduck screamed. , But we just want to kidnap her, that's what you said!' , Why, for heaven's sake, should I kidnap such a pain in the neck when I can ruin Darkwing by simply killing her?' asked Negaduck, getting mad., I won't let you!' answered I. Negaduck laughed., Oh Bushroot, do you really think you could stop me? It's a pity, I just began to believe you could be helpful. Seems I was wrong.'
I heard the shot, but when the bullet entered my body, I felt no pain at all. The world just became black.
Told by Gosalyn Mallard:
I could have killed dad in that moment, really. He destroyed the most beautiful moment in my life, just because he loved his work so much. He loved it more than me. I ran up to my room, throwing myself on my bed, trying hard not to cry. I didn't want to cry, not because dad was so stupid. But I couldn't help myself, tears found their way out of my eyes over my cheeks. Just in this moment, I heard the front door break. I startled., What was that?' I asked myself, my voice filled with fear.
The next sound I heard was someone coming up the stairs, and just a second after I stood up, two persons entered my room. Negaduck and Bushroot! Negaduck looking as evil as ever, Bushroot looking a bit sorry. I heard what Negaduck said about ruining Dad's life, but I didn't really understand what he meant, until he pulled out a gun and aimed it at me.
He wanted to kill me. To get rid of dad. I was shocked and I searched a way to escape, but there was none. I starred at the gun that Negaduck held, as Bushroot jumped in front of me. He wanted to save me, but Negaduck didn't care. He simply shoot him. I screamed as the plant duck fell down, something like blood running over his chest. His eyes were opened, but looking dead. He was dead.
I looked at Negaduck and I knew he would shoot me. He would have paid every price just to make Dad stop his job.
And he shot.
Told by Launchapd:
I believe we drove over every red traffic light standing at the roads of St. Canard. But I didn't care, and Darkwing didn't, too. I feared for Gosalyn and I prayed she would be okay. I prayed we would arrive at time and catch Negaduck. Just 8 minutes later, we arrived at home. The front door was broken and just in this moment, Negaduck ran out of it. Darkwing jumped off his bike and Negdauck shot at him. But Darkwing was quicker. He kicked the gun out of Negaduck's hands and in this fight, a shot fell and hit Negaduck in his chest. He stumbled and fell on the ground. Darkwing grasped him on his cape.
And Negaduck laughed. Blood ran out if his mouth, but this insane bastard laughed.,, Yiu are too late, Darkwing. I already got what I wanted.' The laughter died. Negaduck was dead.
Darkwing ran into the house and I followed him.
Told by Drake Mallard:
I don't know if I shot Negaduck or if the shot released himself - I didn't care. I never was someone who likes killing but Negaduck deserved it. But his last sentence shocked me. I hoped it wasn't true. I ran into the house and called Gosalyn, but she wasn't there. Terrified, I went up to her room, finding the door open.
The first thing I saw was Bushroot, dead.
And then, I saw Gosalyn, lying beyond him, blood on her chest., Gos!' I cried, junoing to her, kneeling down., Please, no.' I whimpered. But her pulse had died, her eyes starred at the ceiling and she didn't breath anymore. Launchpad entered the room, also shocked, standing in the door, not knowing what to do.
I embraced Gosalyn, my tears falling on her.
I don't know how long I sat there, but I think Launchpad pulled me away from her.
The funeral was the most terrible thing I ever had to go through. I collapsed at the end of it.
Negaduck is dead, but he got what he wanted. I threw my cape away and every other thing I had. I stopped being Darkwing Duck. My life will never be the same again. It's filled with loneliness, sadness, reproaches and silence. There's no one who I can fetch, no one who wants to play miniature golf, no one who argues with me, no one who beats me by playing monopoly.
Launchpad often tells me I should try to live again. But I can't.
I wish someone would take pity on Drake Mallard and murder his body, for his soul has already died.
The end
Okay, kill me if you want to, but this was the ending I wanted at the beginning and now realized.
