**********************************************************
At the Negaverse docks, Negaduck and his allies launched their planned attack. Megavolt drew the fire of the uranium boat's many gun while Quackerjack used his newly built jet-powered pogo-stick built for four (equipped with flamethrowers, grenade launchers and .60-caliber machine guns, no less) to bounce himself, Nega-Ruddy, Nega-Anatina and Nega-Launchpad onto the deck to do battle with the crew (which, unbeknowst to the villains on Negaduck's crew,, was comprised of 200 of the heavily-armed foot soldiers in Nega-Hooter's gang, all in disguise). Meanwhile, Nega-Morgana levitated and phased herself and Negaduck through the hull of the boat, stopping short of the uranium storage vault so that she could conjure up a pair of highly insulated suits so that she and Negaduck could safely transport the uranium off the boat.
"So, it would seem that Negaduck has fallen right into our trap, J. Gander." Nega-Gryzlikoff said knowingly.
"As we knew he would, Vladimir. After all, the uranium was too tempting off a bait for Negaduck to pass up and we are BOTH well aware of that fact." Nega-Hooter said as he pressed the signal button for Destructo-Duck, Nega-Stegmutt and Nega-Neptunia (as well as all the "crew members" on the boat) to launch their attacks.
********************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the Normalverse, on their way back to the Money Bin, Magica and Lafayette came across Liquidator and Bushroot, both of whom Magica levitated toward the half-super-vampire. Liquidator's body might be entirely made of water, but he was still vulnerable to mind control (since it works on the brain; not the body), so Lafayette was able to take control of Liquidator as easily as he did Bushroot. "After all, dar-link, McDuck might be too cheap to pay for a decent heater, but there is no sense taking the chances. It's better if we make these two do the dirty work of getting past McDuck's security just in case." Magica said sagely.
"Oui. Mon cherie. These two will make magnifique decoys, especially with THEIR powers under MON control." Lafayette replied in full agreement.
******************
(The Negaverse)
Negaduck, clad in a protective suit, wrenched open the vault. Several metal bars gleamed. The masked duck frowned as he picked one up. "This isn't uranium! It's iron! A trick!"
"And you fell for it," came Nega-Hooter's voice. "My foot soldiers will take care of your allies--" He jumped aside, trying to avoid Nega-Morgana's mystic bolts. The gang leader was fifty-six years old, needless to say he wasn't as agile as he had been in his youth.
The Normalverse Megavolt fired electric energy at his Negaversion, who deflected them back. Nega-Bushroot wrapped a wine around the Normal Megavolt while the Negaverse Liquidator grew in a pillar of water. Nega-Bushroot released the electric rat, who went through the water and landed on Nega-Stegmutt. The fire breathing duck-turned-dinosaur felt electric current going through his body and collapsed, body going black.
Destructo-Duck punched a button on his armor. A single oversized missile launcher gaped at the Nega-Quackerjack, who gulped and reached for his slingshot and Nutty Putty.
The armored villain grinned evilly. "Three..."
"It's playtime!" Nega-Quackerjack fired the Nutty Putty into the huge barrel, plugging it.
"No!" screamed Destructo-Duck as the barrel swelled and exploded. When the smoke cleared, a very scorched Fenton Crackshell was buried in bits of metal.
Meanwhile, the Normalverse Quackerjack was having the time of his life using his toys on the foot soldiers. "Can't catch me, can't catch me! Hoo ha ha!"
Nega-Launchpad looked at the black mutated fish. "I say we settle this the old fashioned way. Arm wrestling."
"You got it," replied Nega-Neptunia.
Simultaneously, Nega-Steelbeak and Nega-Gryzlikoff circled each other, calculatingly.
Nega-Ruddy drew a pistol and fired at Nega-Bulba, who shielded himself with his metal parts.
Darkwing entered the cabin of the shipping boat. "I could have sworn I saw Negs--"
"Drakey!" came a familiar voice.
Darkwing gulped and grabbed his gas gun.
The Nega-Anatina held one hand on her hip. "You wouldn't point that gun at your own mommy, would you?" Her beak quivered as she came closer.
Darkwing backed away. "You're not my mother!"
Suddenly, Nega-Anatina crashed to the floor, courtesy of Morgana. The caped canard tossed a pair of handcuffs to his girlfriend, who immediately cuffed her collar's arms behind her back.
"Unhand me!" screeched Nega-Anatina. "I'm a dictator's wife!"
Outside, Nega-Launchpad and Nega-Neptunia had stalemated in their arm-wrestling match.
"You won't beat me in a fair fight," hissed Nega-Neptunia.
"I never fight fair anyway," replied Nega-Launchpad, releasing his grip, then shoving the fish into a large metal barrel, then sealing the lid.
Nega-Ruddy gasped for air as his pistol ran out of bullets. "This isn't over yet, junior officer!" Poor choice of words.
At the same time, Nega-Steelbeak brought his beak into Nega-Gryzlikoff's shoulder, the force of a pound of steel grinding into a thick but delicate clavicle causing a loud crack.
Gryzlikoff howled in pain and staggered into Nega-Ruddy.
"Public Enemies Three and Four on the same day," commented Nega-Bulba.
"We've got Number Five right here," announced Darkwing as he and Morgana held the still-struggling Nega-Anatina between them.
Nega-Hooter panted as he clutched the bow of the boat. It hadn't helped that Negaduck had taken out a machine gun in addition to Nega-Morgana's mystic bolts.
Negaduck blew the smoke off the gun. "Give it up, old bag."
"It's not over yet," came Nega-Bellum's voice. She was holding an antique cigarette lighter. "Usually I resort to better technology than this, but it does the trick."
"What trick?" snarled Nega-Morgana.
"You see," began Nega-Hooter. "Dr. Bellum here took the liberty of pouring liquid accelerant all over this boat. You fire on us and we'll...pardon the pun...fire--"
Negaduck punched the gang leader in the jaw.
Nega-Bellum flipped on the lighter, but Nega-Morgana jolted her hand at the last minute. The flame touched the mad scientist's lab coat, which caught on fire. Nega-Bellum tossed the lighter overboard before it could light anything else before jumping over the rail.
"Are you all right--" Nega-Hooter felt himself pitch forward and hit Audubon Bay.
On the docks, Darkwing watched EMS tend to Destructo-Duck's burns and Nega-Gryzlikoff's broken shoulder. "That's one good thing about this universe. I get to see Ol' Grape and Guts' and Gizmoduck's butts kicked and still be heroic!"
"Now where's Negaduck?" asked Morgana.
"Right here," came Negaduck's voice as a shorted-out Normalverse Megavolt and an elated-looking Normalverse Quackerjack regrouped behind him. Suddenly, a black hole opened under the trio's feet, sucking them in.
Morgana grabbed Darkwing's hand. "That's our cue, darling."
Just before Darkwing and Morgana could make it to the vortex, however, a mystic bolt nailed the both of them from behind. As they were levitated AND hit with a paralysis field simultaneously, they saw the face of their attacker; Nega-Morgana. The evil sorceress then proceeded to conjure up a massive wind that blew Nega-Megavolt and Nega-Liquidator right into each other, which was immediately followed by Nega-Quackerjack, Nega-Steelbeak and Nega-Bulba all getting hit with a "shrinking spell" that reduced them to one-24th their normal sizes.
********
Negaduck and the Normalverse Megavolt and Quackerjack, meanwhile, found themselves in Gyro's workshop back in the Normalverse and Megavolt decided to siphon off the dimensional transporter's power to both recharge himself AND trap Darkwing and Morgana in the Negaverse while Negaduck held Gyro at machine gunpoint.
"Good work, Megs. Hopefully, MY world's Morg will make mincemeat out of those do-gooders and when I next return to the Negaverse, I won't have to worry about DarkWIMP. Now let's skidaddle and try to get to McDuck's money bin." Negaduck commented as the three villains left the workshop.
***********************************************************************
Back in the Negaverse, Darkwing mustered the willpower to move one of his arms through the paralysis field and reach into one of his jacket pockets get his combination sneezing powder/itching powder/tear gas cartridge while Nega-Bushroot tried using a vine attack only to see the vines get cleaved by a dozen instantly produced flying chainsaws. Nega Ammonia got a couple of shots in on Nega-Morgana with a large baton, but the evil sorceress's Quack-Fu skills (taught to her by Negaduck during a few of their .... encounters) were enough to best the heroic she-agent.
Nega-Ammonia, however, did what she had to in that the blows she got in did release Darkwing and Morgana from the paralysis field and allow Darkwing to easily reach and throw the cartridge he wanted. Darkwing watched with partial regret as the cartridge hit his fiancée's Negaversion dead on, causing her a combination sneezing, itching and teary-eyed fit that seriously threw off her magic (after all, even the most powerful of magic requires SOME concentration and it's awfully hard to concentrate when one's got a lot of sneezing, itching and tears all hitting one all at once). Morgana nailed her Negaverse counterpart with a well-aimed mystic bolt, which sent the evil sorceress flying 100 feet, instantly canceling out the levitation that was holding them up.
After using some levitation of her own to gently put herself and Darkwing a bit closer to the ground, Morgana then felt her Negaverse counterpart nail her with a somewhat stronger zap than the one that stopped Darkwing and Morgana from making their portal. In fact, this zap was so strong that it cancelled out the hex powder Magica hit Morgana with earlier; restoring the sorceress to full power. Darkwing tossed some well aimed ropes at his wife-to-be's evil counterpart's webbed feet and pulled in a manner that caused Nega-Morgana to fall flat on her beak. Averting his eyes somewhat, the masked hero also securely hog-tied Nega-Morgana so that she couldn't use her magic to escape. Just to be on the safe side, though, Morgana used a mystic energy drainage spell to siphon of her magical energy to make sure she couldn't summon up the power to escape after she was untied. "There, that should make sure it'll be a while before she escapes following our return to our own world." Morgana stated factually as the last of the defeated and captured Negaverse criminals were captured
After restoring the three Negaverse heroes her counterpart shrank to normal size, Morgana then created a vortex back to the Normalverse, which she and Darkwing quickly entered.
********************************************************************
Back in the Normalverse, Launchpad used the pinky ring's hyper-gravity beam to trap four of the vampirized Duckburg citizens as Stegmutt and Neptunia each grabbed two of the other four and threw them into Gizmoduck's waiting electro-net.
"That should hold these unfortunate Duckburg citizens until we find a way to restore them to normal. Of course, Morgana WOULD be the best one to ask on that front, since she knows a lot about the supernatural." Gizmoduck observed, as the four vampires caught in the net were shocked unconscious.
"Awww, I'm certain DW and Morg are probably already back from whereever it was that Magica and Lafayette sent them." Launchpad stated assuringly, not knowing how right he was as Gizmoduck, Stegmutt and Neptunia all grabbed ahold of the pilot and Launchpad used the pinky ring's teleporter to get the four heroes clear to the Money Bin.
*****************************************************************
Negaduck, Megavolt and Quackerjack encountered Bushroot, Liquidator Lafayette and Magica on the way to the money bin.
"Well, well, looks like zee gang is, how vous say, all here, mon cherie." Lafayette said to Magica before he undid the brainwashing on both Liquidator and Bushroot (realizing they'd still go through with the Money Bin job if Negaduck ordered them to)
Negaduck growled at Lafayette and said "That's right and, for YOUR sake, I hope you don't plan on chiseling me out of the loot in McDuck's money bin."; to which Lafayette merely gave a calm and silent look.
As the seven villains finish their return to the Money Bin and saw all six heroes (including the recently returned Darkwing and Morgana).
Magica and Lafayette both fired mystic bolts at the heroes only for Morgana, with her magic now twice as powerful as before (you know, since the hex powder had been cancelled out and Morg drained off the power of her Negaversion), to easily block the two mystic-powered villains' bolts with a well-timed shield. However, this still gave Negaduck a chance to order the rest of the Fearsome Five to start their way through the money bin.
"LP, you help make sure all civilians are kept out of the line of fire. Giz, you know the money bin the best so you lead Neps and Steggers through there to stop Negadope's lackies. Morg and I will deal with Magica, Negs and Plasimeaux." Darkwing ordered.
"Morgana!" Gizmoduck asked. "How can we turn those Duckburg citizens back into normal people?"
Morgana ducked several mystic bolts from Magica. "Vampire fangs inject a venom into their victims, which creates the vampire-like symptoms. The venom remains in the blood unaltered by the liver or kidneys...unless it's diluted. A normal blood transfusion can dilute it enough to cure them."
Gizmoduck glanced at Neptunia and Stegmutt. "You two take the citizens to the blood bank."
"What about the four stooges?" asked Neptunia.
"I'll take care of them. After all, it's me and the best security system money can buy. I'm sure I'll manage."
The mutated fish and the dinosaur looked at each other and shrugged.
At the same time, Darkwing and Negaduck were stalemated, using their Quack-Fu skills on each other. Morgana, grateful for the extra power, fought off Magica and Lafayette.
Inside the money bin, Scrooge was wrapped in Bushroot's vines.
"I searched him," commented Quackerjack. "He doesn't have the dime."
The Liquidator tried to slip into the vault, but no avail. "Explosive-proof, fire-proof, and water-proof!"
Megavolt finished draining the money bin's electricity.
Ach, thought Scrooge. Now I'll have to pay to recharge the place.
Gizmoduck entered through the door. Literally. "Don't move a muscle, miscreants!"
And a new door, thought the elderly tycoon.
Bushroot raised his vine-like arms. Vines sprung up from the carpeted floor, which Gizmoduck hacked to pieces with a machete attachment. Quackerjack ran around the armored duck while Liquidator turned into a pillar of water. Gizmoduck pushed another button, which activated a vacuum hose. The water-canine was sucked up, then rapidly blown back out into Megavolt, resulting in a short-circuit -- but not before the electric rodent had zapped Gizmoduck's suit. The various gadgets went off at once, draining the suit's power.
Quackerjack burst out the doors. "He doesn't have the dime!"
"What?" screeched Magica. "That's his most prized possess--" A knockout mystic bolt from Morgana struck the dime-desiring sorceress at the back of her head, making her slump forward -- unconscious.
Negaduck ran toward the money bin.
Lafayette lunged at Darkwing, who swiftly rolled over and grabbed a stray tree branch. The vampire grabbed at the hero's neck, who aimed the sharpened edge of the branch before Lafayette could strangle him. However, the limb missed, striking the rooster's beak. There was a crunch.
Lafayette squealed. One hand went up to his beak.
Darkwing seized up the moment to run towards the money bin. The vampire used his free arm to turn a few of the concrete blocks into monsters, which Morgana finished off by turning the ground beneath them into quicksand.
"Where are you hiding that blasted dime?" growled Negaduck, aiming a bazooka at Scrooge.
"O-hi-oh!" One of Darkwing's patented web-kicks nailed the yellow-jacketed duck in the side. The bazooka clattered to the floor, while it's wielder obeyed the conservation of momentum, flying through a window and landing on the ground below.
Gizmoduck raised his arm and whacked Quackerjack across the forehead. The toymaker slumped forward.
Bushroot, knowing when to run, released the vines around Scrooge and turned to run.
Morgana stood in the doorway. "Going somewhere?" The mutant plant duck turned and leaped through the open window. The sorceress turned to her boyfriend. "Aren't you going after him?"
"Nah. Bushroot's practically harmless. Where's Lafayette?"
"He's gone. He took Magica and left."
"What? I was going to--" Darkwing unclenched his fists. "Well, all that matters is we're all safe. Gizmo?"
"Yes, Wingy?"
"I assume you can take it from here."
"Yes, sir. Now get out of my city!"
Darkwing took off his gray fedora and bowed. "Happy to oblige." He turned to Morgana. "Now there are a couple of people in St. Canard I want you to meet."
**********************************************************
(The Posiverse)
Drake Mallard, in black robes, entered his house at 527 Avian Way. He climbed the stairs to his daughter's room. Gosalyn was fast sleep. Tiptoeing so not to wake her, Drake made his way to the living room and picked up the phone, then dialed his number.
The recipient picked up on the first ring. "Crackshell residence."
"Fenton?"
"Drake!" The two superheroes, unlike in the universe, knew each other's secret identities as a sign of mutual respect. "How are things in St. Canard?"
"Things have been good. Honker won the Genius of the Decade award. He was so speechless he couldn't even say anything."
"Well, that's Honk for ya. How's the superhero outfit?"
"I met some visitors from another universe. One claimed to be an alternate version of you."
"Did he look like me?"
"Yup, only his armor was white rather than silver. Pretty much acted the same."
"Would you want to go to their universe?"
"They offered to take me, but I respectfully declined. St. Canard -- or this one anyway -- is a part of me. I couldn't leave it if my life depended on it."
"Well, Ma-Ma wants to borrow the phone, so I better hop off. Good night, Drake."
"Good night, Fenton." Click.
**************************************************
(the Normalverse)
"Rest assured, Morg. My real mother's nothing like the duck you met in the Negaverse." Drake rang the doorbell.
"I hope not," replied Morgana. "She was going to kill you."
The door opened. "Drake!" squealed the Normalverse Anatina Mallard.
"Mommy! Stop that! You're embarrassing me!" Drake wriggled out of his mother's grip. "Mother, this is the love of my life, Morgana McCawber."
Anatina extended a gloved hand to Morgana. "Privilege to make your acquaintance. I'm Drake's mother, Anatina. You could call me Annie if you want."
"First name basis?" Morgana whispered as the threesome filed inside. "Seems she likes me better than my father does you."
"Well, at least he's got a grudging respect for me now. Better than he had before," commented Drake.
The sorceress stopped. A model house sprawled across the living room, no higher than her waist.
"Pass me the blueprints, Annie," came a muffled voice.
"Ruddy! Can't you see we've got company?" squealed the architect's wife.
An auburn-haired duck crawled from underneath the model. "Really?" He got up and brushed the dust off himself.
Morgana blushed. "I assume you're Drake's father."
Ruddy shook her hand. "Your servant, ma'am. Judging from looks alone, I think my son's made a good choice." His wife elbowed him. "I was just joking about that comment, Annie. No need to get jealous."
"I know. I couldn't resist jabbing you."
This is going to be an interesting future, thought Morgana.
The end
At the Negaverse docks, Negaduck and his allies launched their planned attack. Megavolt drew the fire of the uranium boat's many gun while Quackerjack used his newly built jet-powered pogo-stick built for four (equipped with flamethrowers, grenade launchers and .60-caliber machine guns, no less) to bounce himself, Nega-Ruddy, Nega-Anatina and Nega-Launchpad onto the deck to do battle with the crew (which, unbeknowst to the villains on Negaduck's crew,, was comprised of 200 of the heavily-armed foot soldiers in Nega-Hooter's gang, all in disguise). Meanwhile, Nega-Morgana levitated and phased herself and Negaduck through the hull of the boat, stopping short of the uranium storage vault so that she could conjure up a pair of highly insulated suits so that she and Negaduck could safely transport the uranium off the boat.

Nega-Hooter said as he pressed the signal button for Destructo-Duck, Nega-Stegmutt and Nega-Neptunia (as well as all the "crew members" on the boat) to launch their attacks.

Meanwhile, back in the Normalverse, on their way back to the Money Bin, Magica and Lafayette came across Liquidator and Bushroot, both of whom Magica levitated toward the half-super-vampire. Liquidator's body might be entirely made of water, but he was still vulnerable to mind control (since it works on the brain; not the body), so Lafayette was able to take control of Liquidator as easily as he did Bushroot.

It's better if we make these two do the dirty work of getting past McDuck's security just in case." Magica said sagely.
"Oui. Mon cherie. These two will make magnifique decoys, especially with THEIR powers under MON control." Lafayette replied in full agreement.
******************
(The Negaverse)
Negaduck, clad in a protective suit, wrenched open the vault. Several metal bars gleamed. The masked duck frowned as he picked one up. "This isn't uranium! It's iron! A trick!"
"And you fell for it," came Nega-Hooter's voice. "My foot soldiers will take care of your allies--" He jumped aside, trying to avoid Nega-Morgana's mystic bolts. The gang leader was fifty-six years old, needless to say he wasn't as agile as he had been in his youth.
The Normalverse Megavolt fired electric energy at his Negaversion, who deflected them back. Nega-Bushroot wrapped a wine around the Normal Megavolt while the Negaverse Liquidator grew in a pillar of water. Nega-Bushroot released the electric rat, who went through the water and landed on Nega-Stegmutt. The fire breathing duck-turned-dinosaur felt electric current going through his body and collapsed, body going black.
Destructo-Duck punched a button on his armor. A single oversized missile launcher gaped at the Nega-Quackerjack, who gulped and reached for his slingshot and Nutty Putty.
The armored villain grinned evilly. "Three..."
"It's playtime!" Nega-Quackerjack fired the Nutty Putty into the huge barrel, plugging it.
"No!" screamed Destructo-Duck as the barrel swelled and exploded. When the smoke cleared, a very scorched Fenton Crackshell was buried in bits of metal.
Meanwhile, the Normalverse Quackerjack was having the time of his life using his toys on the foot soldiers. "Can't catch me, can't catch me! Hoo ha ha!"
Nega-Launchpad looked at the black mutated fish. "I say we settle this the old fashioned way. Arm wrestling."
"You got it," replied Nega-Neptunia.
Simultaneously, Nega-Steelbeak and Nega-Gryzlikoff circled each other, calculatingly.
Nega-Ruddy drew a pistol and fired at Nega-Bulba, who shielded himself with his metal parts.
Darkwing entered the cabin of the shipping boat. "I could have sworn I saw Negs--"
"Drakey!" came a familiar voice.
Darkwing gulped and grabbed his gas gun.
The Nega-Anatina held one hand on her hip. "You wouldn't point that gun at your own mommy, would you?" Her beak quivered as she came closer.
Darkwing backed away. "You're not my mother!"
Suddenly, Nega-Anatina crashed to the floor, courtesy of Morgana. The caped canard tossed a pair of handcuffs to his girlfriend, who immediately cuffed her collar's arms behind her back.
"Unhand me!" screeched Nega-Anatina. "I'm a dictator's wife!"
Outside, Nega-Launchpad and Nega-Neptunia had stalemated in their arm-wrestling match.
"You won't beat me in a fair fight," hissed Nega-Neptunia.
"I never fight fair anyway," replied Nega-Launchpad, releasing his grip, then shoving the fish into a large metal barrel, then sealing the lid.
Nega-Ruddy gasped for air as his pistol ran out of bullets. "This isn't over yet, junior officer!" Poor choice of words.

Negaduck blew the smoke off the gun. "Give it up, old bag."
"It's not over yet," came Nega-Bellum's voice. She was holding an antique cigarette lighter. "Usually I resort to better technology than this, but it does the trick."
"What trick?" snarled Nega-Morgana.
"You see," began Nega-Hooter. "Dr. Bellum here took the liberty of pouring liquid accelerant all over this boat. You fire on us and we'll...pardon the pun...fire--"

"Now where's Negaduck?" asked Morgana.
"Right here," came Negaduck's voice as a shorted-out Normalverse Megavolt and an elated-looking Normalverse Quackerjack regrouped behind him. Suddenly, a black hole opened under the trio's feet, sucking them in.
Morgana grabbed Darkwing's hand. "That's our cue, darling."
Just before Darkwing and Morgana could make it to the vortex, however, a mystic bolt nailed the both of them from behind. As they were levitated AND hit with a paralysis field simultaneously, they saw the face of their attacker; Nega-Morgana. The evil sorceress then proceeded to conjure up a massive wind that blew Nega-Megavolt and Nega-Liquidator right into each other, which was immediately followed by Nega-Quackerjack, Nega-Steelbeak and Nega-Bulba all getting hit with a "shrinking spell" that reduced them to one-24th their normal sizes.
********
Negaduck and the Normalverse Megavolt and Quackerjack, meanwhile, found themselves in Gyro's workshop back in the Normalverse and Megavolt decided to siphon off the dimensional transporter's power to both recharge himself AND trap Darkwing and Morgana in the Negaverse while Negaduck held Gyro at machine gunpoint.
"Good work, Megs. Hopefully, MY world's Morg will make mincemeat out of those do-gooders and when I next return to the Negaverse, I won't have to worry about DarkWIMP. Now let's skidaddle and try to get to McDuck's money bin." Negaduck commented as the three villains left the workshop.
***********************************************************************
Back in the Negaverse, Darkwing mustered the willpower to move one of his arms through the paralysis field and reach into one of his jacket pockets get his combination sneezing powder/itching powder/tear gas cartridge while Nega-Bushroot tried using a vine attack only to see the vines get cleaved by a dozen instantly produced flying chainsaws.

Nega-Ammonia, however, did what she had to in that the blows she got in did release Darkwing and Morgana from the paralysis field and allow Darkwing to easily reach and throw the cartridge he wanted. Darkwing watched with partial regret as the cartridge hit his fiancée's Negaversion dead on, causing her a combination sneezing, itching and teary-eyed fit that seriously threw off her magic (after all, even the most powerful of magic requires SOME concentration and it's awfully hard to concentrate when one's got a lot of sneezing, itching and tears all hitting one all at once). Morgana nailed her Negaverse counterpart with a well-aimed mystic bolt, which sent the evil sorceress flying 100 feet, instantly canceling out the levitation that was holding them up.
After using some levitation of her own to gently put herself and Darkwing a bit closer to the ground, Morgana then felt her Negaverse counterpart nail her with a somewhat stronger zap than the one that stopped Darkwing and Morgana from making their portal.

"There, that should make sure it'll be a while before she escapes following our return to our own world." Morgana stated factually as the last of the defeated and captured Negaverse criminals were captured
After restoring the three Negaverse heroes her counterpart shrank to normal size, Morgana then created a vortex back to the Normalverse, which she and Darkwing quickly entered.
********************************************************************
Back in the Normalverse, Launchpad used the pinky ring's hyper-gravity beam to trap four of the vampirized Duckburg citizens as Stegmutt and Neptunia each grabbed two of the other four and threw them into Gizmoduck's waiting electro-net.
"That should hold these unfortunate Duckburg citizens until we find a way to restore them to normal. Of course, Morgana WOULD be the best one to ask on that front, since she knows a lot about the supernatural." Gizmoduck observed, as the four vampires caught in the net were shocked unconscious.

Negaduck, Megavolt and Quackerjack encountered Bushroot, Liquidator Lafayette and Magica on the way to the money bin.
"Well, well, looks like zee gang is, how vous say, all here, mon cherie." Lafayette said to Magica before he undid the brainwashing on both Liquidator and Bushroot (realizing they'd still go through with the Money Bin job if Negaduck ordered them to)
Negaduck growled at Lafayette and said "That's right and, for YOUR sake, I hope you don't plan on chiseling me out of the loot in McDuck's money bin."; to which Lafayette merely gave a calm and silent look.
As the seven villains finish their return to the Money Bin and saw all six heroes (including the recently returned Darkwing and Morgana).
Magica and Lafayette both fired mystic bolts at the heroes only for Morgana, with her magic now twice as powerful as before (you know, since the hex powder had been cancelled out and Morg drained off the power of her Negaversion), to easily block the two mystic-powered villains' bolts with a well-timed shield. However, this still gave Negaduck a chance to order the rest of the Fearsome Five to start their way through the money bin.
"LP, you help make sure all civilians are kept out of the line of fire. Giz, you know the money bin the best so you lead Neps and Steggers through there to stop Negadope's lackies. Morg and I will deal with Magica, Negs and Plasimeaux." Darkwing ordered.
"Morgana!" Gizmoduck asked. "How can we turn those Duckburg citizens back into normal people?"
Morgana ducked several mystic bolts from Magica. "Vampire fangs inject a venom into their victims, which creates the vampire-like symptoms. The venom remains in the blood unaltered by the liver or kidneys...unless it's diluted. A normal blood transfusion can dilute it enough to cure them."
Gizmoduck glanced at Neptunia and Stegmutt. "You two take the citizens to the blood bank."
"What about the four stooges?" asked Neptunia.
"I'll take care of them. After all, it's me and the best security system money can buy. I'm sure I'll manage."
The mutated fish and the dinosaur looked at each other and shrugged.
At the same time, Darkwing and Negaduck were stalemated, using their Quack-Fu skills on each other. Morgana, grateful for the extra power, fought off Magica and Lafayette.
Inside the money bin, Scrooge was wrapped in Bushroot's vines.
"I searched him," commented Quackerjack. "He doesn't have the dime."
The Liquidator tried to slip into the vault, but no avail. "Explosive-proof, fire-proof, and water-proof!"
Megavolt finished draining the money bin's electricity.
Ach, thought Scrooge. Now I'll have to pay to recharge the place.
Gizmoduck entered through the door. Literally. "Don't move a muscle, miscreants!"
And a new door, thought the elderly tycoon.
Bushroot raised his vine-like arms. Vines sprung up from the carpeted floor, which Gizmoduck hacked to pieces with a machete attachment. Quackerjack ran around the armored duck while Liquidator turned into a pillar of water. Gizmoduck pushed another button, which activated a vacuum hose. The water-canine was sucked up, then rapidly blown back out into Megavolt, resulting in a short-circuit -- but not before the electric rodent had zapped Gizmoduck's suit. The various gadgets went off at once, draining the suit's power.
Quackerjack burst out the doors. "He doesn't have the dime!"
"What?" screeched Magica. "That's his most prized possess--" A knockout mystic bolt from Morgana struck the dime-desiring sorceress at the back of her head, making her slump forward -- unconscious.
Negaduck ran toward the money bin.
Lafayette lunged at Darkwing, who swiftly rolled over and grabbed a stray tree branch. The vampire grabbed at the hero's neck, who aimed the sharpened edge of the branch before Lafayette could strangle him. However, the limb missed, striking the rooster's beak. There was a crunch.
Lafayette squealed. One hand went up to his beak.
Darkwing seized up the moment to run towards the money bin. The vampire used his free arm to turn a few of the concrete blocks into monsters, which Morgana finished off by turning the ground beneath them into quicksand.
"Where are you hiding that blasted dime?" growled Negaduck, aiming a bazooka at Scrooge.
"O-hi-oh!" One of Darkwing's patented web-kicks nailed the yellow-jacketed duck in the side. The bazooka clattered to the floor, while it's wielder obeyed the conservation of momentum, flying through a window and landing on the ground below.
Gizmoduck raised his arm and whacked Quackerjack across the forehead. The toymaker slumped forward.
Bushroot, knowing when to run, released the vines around Scrooge and turned to run.
Morgana stood in the doorway. "Going somewhere?" The mutant plant duck turned and leaped through the open window. The sorceress turned to her boyfriend. "Aren't you going after him?"
"Nah. Bushroot's practically harmless. Where's Lafayette?"
"He's gone. He took Magica and left."
"What? I was going to--" Darkwing unclenched his fists. "Well, all that matters is we're all safe. Gizmo?"
"Yes, Wingy?"
"I assume you can take it from here."
"Yes, sir. Now get out of my city!"
Darkwing took off his gray fedora and bowed. "Happy to oblige." He turned to Morgana. "Now there are a couple of people in St. Canard I want you to meet."

(The Posiverse)
Drake Mallard, in black robes, entered his house at 527 Avian Way. He climbed the stairs to his daughter's room. Gosalyn was fast sleep. Tiptoeing so not to wake her, Drake made his way to the living room and picked up the phone, then dialed his number.
The recipient picked up on the first ring. "Crackshell residence."
"Fenton?"
"Drake!" The two superheroes, unlike in the universe, knew each other's secret identities as a sign of mutual respect. "How are things in St. Canard?"
"Things have been good. Honker won the Genius of the Decade award. He was so speechless he couldn't even say anything."
"Well, that's Honk for ya. How's the superhero outfit?"
"I met some visitors from another universe. One claimed to be an alternate version of you."
"Did he look like me?"
"Yup, only his armor was white rather than silver. Pretty much acted the same."
"Would you want to go to their universe?"
"They offered to take me, but I respectfully declined. St. Canard -- or this one anyway -- is a part of me. I couldn't leave it if my life depended on it."
"Well, Ma-Ma wants to borrow the phone, so I better hop off. Good night, Drake."
"Good night, Fenton." Click.

"Rest assured, Morg. My real mother's nothing like the duck you met in the Negaverse." Drake rang the doorbell.
"I hope not," replied Morgana. "She was going to kill you."
The door opened. "Drake!" squealed the Normalverse Anatina Mallard.
"Mommy! Stop that! You're embarrassing me!" Drake wriggled out of his mother's grip. "Mother, this is the love of my life, Morgana McCawber."
Anatina extended a gloved hand to Morgana. "Privilege to make your acquaintance. I'm Drake's mother, Anatina. You could call me Annie if you want."
"First name basis?" Morgana whispered as the threesome filed inside. "Seems she likes me better than my father does you."
"Well, at least he's got a grudging respect for me now. Better than he had before," commented Drake.
The sorceress stopped. A model house sprawled across the living room, no higher than her waist.
"Pass me the blueprints, Annie," came a muffled voice.
"Ruddy! Can't you see we've got company?" squealed the architect's wife.
An auburn-haired duck crawled from underneath the model. "Really?" He got up and brushed the dust off himself.
Morgana blushed. "I assume you're Drake's father."
Ruddy shook her hand. "Your servant, ma'am. Judging from looks alone, I think my son's made a good choice." His wife elbowed him. "I was just joking about that comment, Annie. No need to get jealous."
"I know. I couldn't resist jabbing you."
This is going to be an interesting future, thought Morgana.
