A Disney Duck Fanfic:

Instead of being purely based on one entity, this story takes background from Classic Donald Duck cartoons, Ducktales, and Darkwing Duck


Note: Except for Melanie, Ronnie and Lisa (all of whom are owned by my co-writer Stef), Disney owns every single character in this story. Ergo, there is no profit intended on my part OR on Stef's. You all already know that, but this is a formality to ensure that point is clear. So, now; without any further hassles...


Chapter 22

Inside Steelbeak's hideout, Major Mind was using his super-intelligence guided telekinesis to disable the security devices he encountered one by one through mental manipulation of the inner circuitry. "As I said on the way here, finding Steelbeak's hideout was only a fraction of the battle."

Steelbeak saw the four young heroes on his monitors making it through his defenses; which were designed to slow down Darkwing and which he didn't have a chance to properly alter when he found out about the four new heroes giving him trouble. With a load groan, Steelbeak pulled out an eerie looking remote that he could use to trigger the activation of a neural scrambling device that would render his foes unconscious if aimed right (this was just in case Darkwing made it past the other defenses, but he knew the neural scrambler could work on these four other heroes too.


At Bulba's hideout, Darkwing first, from his hiding place just out of the range of the cyborg's sensors, tossed a smoke bomb and lowered down a spare cape and hat on wires (the cape had a microphone attached so that he could make it sound like his voice was coming from the point of the smoke. "I am the terror that flaps in the night!" the crime fighter began as Bulba started figuring at the smoke-obscured cape and hat (precisely as DW expected).

After firing a titanium alloy net that wrapped around the villainous cyborg upon impact followed immediately by a glue bomb, Darkwing continued "I am the de-bugging software for the computer of justice. I am ..... DARKWIIIING DUCK!"

Unfortunately, Bulba was able to free himself of the super-strong glue with a glue remover ray he installed and was able to break free of the net with his cybernetically enhanced strength. However, three flawlessly aimed electro disks hit Bulba right on the back just as he got free of the net. Thanks to his new back-up batteries, the mechanized madbull was able to absorb enough of the electricity to stay in the fight, but the shock still stung quite a bit. With rapid-fire blasts from his left arm laser cannon, Taurus Bulba had Darkwing dodging frantically while firing off his tear gas laced smoke bomb cartridges.

Though Bulba's built in gas mask protected him from the tear gas portion and his sensors made the smoke a minor annoyance at best, Darkwing still had just enough cover to make it, again, JUST out of the range of Bulba's aforementioned sensors. Taking advantage of this very brief respite, Darkwing started firing his freeze gas cartridges around his cybernetic adversary. The masked hero knew the ice generated from that wouldn't hold Bulba for long, but it WOULD hold him long enough for Morgana to get here, rested enough to use her magic to get a few licks in herself. After that, they could BOTH lower the boom on Bulba.


After making through Steelbeak's security system, the four young heroes began the next part of their planned attack; namely Quiverwing launching her second-to-last combination sneezing powder/itching powder/tear gas arrow at the seven remaining Cyber-Eggmen. Within seconds, Speed Prince zipped in and started drawing the Cyber-Eggmen's fire. Between the sneezing and teary eyed fights and Speed Prince's super-fast dodging, the Cyber-Eggmen did not notice Kid Quackules, leaving him free to subdue them one at a time until Major Mind had the specially prepared super-super-glue bomb prepared. Once that started dropping, Speed Prince got himself and Kid Quackules clear; resulting in seven securely trapped Cyber-Eggmen and NO trapped heroes.

Steelbeak prepared to activate the neural scrambler remote, only to get it kicked out of his hands by Quiverwing, who also kneed him in the groin and kicked him in the back of his knees before he could make a single move.

However, Steelbeak got off a massive slap against the heroine and wrapped his hands firmly around her throat. Or, at least he TRIED to get his hands firmly around Quiverwing's throat; a quick and deftly martial arts throw kayoed that attack. As the evil rooster got up, the teen heroine nailed him with a double-flip-double web kick followed immediately by a fast and hard elbow to the throat. Steelbeak tried to surprise her with a high-powered laser blaster he kept up his sleeve, but she was expecting that type of trickery from Steelbeak and karate chopped the gun out his hands. Finally, with a tremendous right hook to the side of the face, Quiverwing put Steelbeak down for the count.


Meanwhile, just as Darkwing figured, Morgana, rested enough magic wise to be back to full strength arrived in the room just as Taurus Bulba got through the last of the ice. However, Bulba's sensors detected Morgana's arrival and the cyborg sensed it was time to exercise the better part of valor. After all, he knew that both of these opponents at the same time and on full alert were more than a match for him.

Thus, before Morgana could get in any attacks, Bulba activated a pre-programmed teleporter that he prepared in case he needed to make a very quick getaway using the button in a remote he was keeping in his jacket. The instant Bulba and the Divine Eye Diamond were teleported away, the teleporter itself exploded thanks to the self-destruct device he installed in said teleporter and programmed to go off immediately after he used it.

Fortunately, the sorceress was close enough to Darkwing at the time to teleport them both to safety the very instant the self-destruct device went off, leaving both heroes unharmed, but somewhat upset that Bulba got away again.
