A/N-Sorry this took so long. I've got several other fanfics going right now. Hope you like it. Thanks for the reviews!
Chapter Seven
Launchpad, Honker, Quiverwing, and Negaduck flew over the dense forest in silence. Honker had a map that he had photocopied out and was staring intently at it.
"Are we there yet, Honker?" Quiverwing asked.
"Just about. We lack about a mile before we can begin to look for a place to land," Honker replied.
"So, this forest will be where Dipwing and my loot is being held, right?" Negaduck asked, turning to look in the back at Honker.
"That's correct, Negaduck, sir," Honker replied, pushing up his glasses.
"We've gone that mile, Honk," Launchpad announced.
As Quiverwing, Honker, and Negaduck all grabbed a hold of the hand-holds, Honker said, "Okay, Launchpad, land."
There was no slowing down. It seemed as though they just fell. The ThunderQuack landed, so to speak, in a clearing with a loud crash.
"I didn't even get to try to activate the landing gear," Launchpad said, scratching his head. "Is everyone all right?"
"I am," Quiverwing said.
"So am I," Honker piped up.
"Ditto," Negaduck growled.
"Well," Quiverwing said, as she stared out the window, "At least the plane seems to still be flyable. It could've been worse."
Just as the words left her mouth, both of the ThunderQuack's wings fell off.
"Stupid cliché," Negaduck said.
Launchpad opened the cockpit, and they all leapt out.
"Well, looks like we're grounded. They'll be no flying this baby until I get these wings reattached," the crash professional said.
"We can do that when we get back. Come on. We have to go get Darkwing," Quiverwing said as she began to walk into the forest.
Honker caught her by the sleeve. "Quiverwing, don't you think that we might need the plane for a quick escape if something goes wrong?"
Quiverwing removed his hand from her arm. "So what do you propose we do? We can't just sit here and wait for Darkwing to come looking for us!"
"I can fix this, Q.W., but it'll take a while," Launchpad said.
"So now what? I want my loot!" Negaduck proclaimed.
Honker pulled out a black marker and began marking on the map. When he had finished, he put in Quiverwing's hand.
"Here," he said. "I'll stay here with Launchpad and Negaduck. You should go after Darkwing."
"No way! I'm going too!" Negaduck said.
Honker and Launchpad exchanged worried looks.
"Don't worry about it," Quiverwing said cheerfully. "He won't do anything. I'll make sure of that!"
With that and swift hugs from Launchpad and Honker, Quiverwing set out with Negaduck to retrieve what they each had lost.
End Notes: This chapter is lacking in a few things that I wanted to happen. But don't worry, they'll come in at later chapters.
