As Darkwing set to work picking up Steelbeak's trail with Launchpad right behind him, Quiverwing, Huey and Louie patiently waited for Dewey to get back from scouting the college.
When Dewey came back, he said, "Every ground entrance has at least four guards, as does the skylight. It was only through a miracle I wasn't caught. Worse, all the ventilation duct entrances are securely bolted shut. We could get the bolts off with the right tools and enough time, but the odds of the guards giving us that time are rather slim."
"I DID find out one potentially helpful piece of information though; the shifts of the guards in the far northeast entrance end in about an hour and a half. The changing of the guards will only give us, at the most, a ten second window of opportunity, but it should be all we need," Dewey added, in a tone loud enough for Quiverwing and his two brothers to overhear, but quiet enough so that the guards couldn't.
"Well, we're just going to have to be patient." Quiverwing observed quietly.
"Not to mention quiet." Huey said quietly and agreeingly as the four teens carefully started moving toward a hiding place near the far northeast entrance.
*************************************
Meanwhile, Taurus Bulba, already thawed out from the freezing he took from Morgana, already started to work on his next plan. His mistake last time was getting in too close, relying on his cloaking device to give him the element of surprise. No, he'd still use his telescopic eye to target Morgana, Ronnie and Lisa, but this time, he'd nail them from a safe distance with the freeze rays in his horns.
"After all," he quietly thought to himself with a cruel grin "the meddlesome witch froze ME and turnabout IS fair play."
**********************************
Back at his hideout, Steelbeak found a box of a dozen special "upgrade chips" just developed by F.O.W.L.s technical team. According to the written instructions, these chips would increase the Cyber-Eggmen's strength, flying speed and wrist laser power sixfold PLUS magnet-proof the aforementioned Cyber-Eggmen (though gas attacks and intense cold would still be a problem). Also according to the written instructions, all that had to be done was slip the chips into the very small slots on the right shoulders of each of the Cyber-Eggmen.
Doing so, Steelbeak watched with interest, as the dozen Cyber-Eggmen became more powerful than before.
***************************************************
Stealthily making his way to the Rio jail where Megavolt, Quackerjack, Bushroot and Liquidator were taken, Negaduck waited for his chance to sneak in and get this breakout over with. If it weren't for the fact that he knew their abilities would make the Divine Eye Diamond heist a lot easier when he would try again, he wouldn't be bothering trying to bust them out. "The things I go through in the name of chaos." Negaduck silently thought to himself.
However, Bushroot saved Negaduck a lot of trouble by discreetly snaking his vine-like arms out to where the keys were kept and used the key to free himself. Using a pollen barrage to disorient the guards, the half-plant, half-duck mutant criminal unlocked the cells of each of the other three of the Fearsome Five members that were captured during the first attempt to get the Divine Eye Diamond. As Liquidator helped Bushroot occupy the jailhouse guards, Megavolt recharged and Quackerjack retrieved his killer toys.
Just as Negaduck was getting ready to make his move, he saw the rest of the Fearsome Five exiting the jail. Seeing their leader gesture them toward his hiding place, the four newly escaped villains dived in the pointed direction and the villains completed their escape.
"Well, I guess the law of averages finally caught up with you idiots; you finally did something right on your own." Negaduck said to the rest of the Fearsome Five.
To this, the other four villains groaned before remembering that this was Negaduck and what he just said was as close as he would probably ever come to actually complimenting them.
************************************************************************
After a very patient wait, Quiverwing (whose ankle was still sore but she could still walk on it with some speed if she had to) and the Duck triplets made their way inside during the scant seconds that the changing of the guards lasted. Carefully moving through the place, the four teens eventually came across Gyro, who quietly, but good-naturedly greeted them. "Hello there, boys. It's been a while. Who is the young lady in the mask and costume?"
"Hiya, Gyro. This is the Quiverwing Quack. We're trying to help her on a case and were wondering if you had any super-heroish type gadgets to assist us." Huey replied truthfully.
"Super-hero gear, eh? Well, you've most definitely come to the right place, boys." Gyro said as he pointed them toward the super-hero gadgets he devised.
"Ohhh, this belt looks pretty snazzy." Huey admitted as he held it.
"And it will give the wearer the power of hypersonic speed, too." Gyro replied.
After Huey clicked on the belt, he suddenly felt his reflexes and thinking processes sped up to 4800 times peak duck. Curious as to how fast he was, he zipped over from one booth to the next all over the convention area at a speed of 4800 miles per hour. Of course, since his thought processes were sped up accordingly, he didn't notice his change in speed until Gyro showed him the stop watch (which he clicked on as soon as Huey started and clicked off as he finished) and pointed him to the ground showing the bits of flames marking his speed trails.
Detaching the belt, Huey commented "Wow. I guess that makes me the king of speed."
"Or, at least, PRINCE of speed." Quiverwing retorted.
"Hmmm. Prince of speed. Speed Prince. I like the sound of that." Huey admitted.
"Well, the belt's not too shabby, but this helmet looks more my tastes." Dewey said
"Go ahead and try it. It'll grant you increased intellect and limited telepathic and telekinetic powers. It's, in a sense, an improved version of the thinking cap I once used on Bubba." Gyro replied.
Nodding at the memory, Dewey put on the helmet and felt his intellect increase 120fold. What's more, he found he could telekinetically lift a maximum of 25 tons and he could read the minds of any four people at a time within his immediate area. Upon the demonstrations of his increased intelligence and his new mind powers, Dewey grinned in satisfaction.
"Wow. Dew-man, you are like a ... major league mind with that helmet on." Louie observed.
"Hmmm. Major Mind does have a nice ring to it as heroic codenames go." Dewey admitted.
"Yeah, now we know about the belt and the helmet, but what about the other stuff?" Louie asked in good-natured curiosity.
"Well, the wrist bands give the wearer incredible strength, the boots allow the power of flight and the vest is a force-field generator." Gyro answered as Louie donned the aforementioned wristbands, boots and vest.
To Louie's surprised satisfaction, he could lift 240 tons with supreme effort, fly at a top speed of 800 miles per hour and his force field was so tough as to be impenetrable to anything short of and including 1000 pounds of dynamite at blast point range.
"You've got some serious muscle, Louis; like a modern day junior Quackules." Huey commented.
"JUNIOR Quackules? Nah! How about KID Quackules? Boy, if Webby could see me now." Louie retorted after coming in for a landing and removing the bands, vest and boots, but just before the guards came in.
"Ooops. I guess we made a bit too much noise testing your gear, Gyro." Huey said apologetically as he clicked the belt back on and grabbed Quiverwing, Dewey and Louie. Breezing past the guards before they could get a good look at any of the four, Huey gave a slight grin to himself at the speed he was travelling. Eventually, when he and the others were a good twelve miles from the college (which took all of nine seconds), the newly super-fast teenager put down his girlfriend and brothers before removing the speed belt and almost dropping from the exhaustion of carrying a load equal to three times his own weight).
"Hmmm. Fascinating. Apparently, the speed belt also contains an aura that protects you and those you carry from the friction of your new super-speed. The fact you were able to carry all three of us as far as you did was due to the momentum OF your speed." Dewey, still wearing the helmet, commented.

Attention potential nitpickers! LOL Brad and I are well aware of similarities to the boys' powers in this fic and the powers the boys had as the T-Quad in Quack Pack. This was intended as a nod to Quack Pack. And it's only slightly based, as you will see their powers in this fic are not as excessive and they have different names. In closing thanks again for all your great reviews!
