Chapter Seven: A World Apart

Darkwing woke with a giant headache. He heard the movement of feet and realizing where he was he opened an eye, nearly knocking himself out. Negaduck was fixing something up. Darkwing tried to stand, and once he was on his feet he pulled out his gas gun. He aimed it at Negaduck.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he asked. Negaduck spun around. He smiled a sinister grin.

"Don't you remember? I was the one who knocked you out."

"Yeah, I kinda noticed that. Where's the girl?"

"She ran off for help. I let her escape. She couldn't save you anyway."

"You may be right, but I know your plans, Negaduck. They're pretty much foiled now."

"That's what you think." Negaduck walked up to Darkwing and made a kick for his head, but missed and hit his side. Darkwing crumbled to the ground. Negaduck laguhed. Darkwing held is head and tried to make the world stop spinning.

"How did you escape?" he asked weakly.

"You know," Negaduck bent over in front of Darkwing. "I'm not sure. I woke up and Megavolt was staring at me. I kicked him and ran."

'God,' Darkwing thought as Negaduck paced around the cake before them. 'What am I going to do...' A smile appeared on his face. 'If I can lead Negaduck far enough out of the bakery and find Gosalyn and the Friendly Four, they can destract him while Gosalyn and I get home.' Darkwing steadied himself and stood still for a minute. "Come and get me Negaduck!" he screamed as he ripped out of the bakery. Negaduck ran after. He whipped around a corner, but Negaduck caught up. "You're just a bit too slow for me Negs." Darkwing yelled, trying to speed up.

"Maybe. Or you may be too slow for me!" Negaduck leaped and grabbed Darkwing. They both went down. After a few punches and kicks, Darkwing managed to crawl out of it. Just as he did he saw the Friendly Four with Gosalyn.

"Darkwing!" They all screamed.

"What?"

"Look out!"

Darkwing turned around just as Negaduck leaped for him again. Darkwing stepped out of the way,a nd Negaduck hit the pavement. The Friendly Four all jumped and held him down while Darkwing grabbed Gosalyn and ran.

"Thanks guys! Take care!" Darkwing shouted. They all gave him and Gosalyn a thumbs up. Gosalyn waved before they turned the corner.

"Hurry, we can't hold him much longer!" one of them cried.

Darkwing and Gosalyn arrived at the bakery. He kicked the door open and ran to the cake. He opened the top.

"Hold on Gosalyn!" he yelled as he jumped inside. Once again the top closed, and was followed by silence.

"There!" Morgana McCawber said as she finished the last of the spell. She backed up as the cake shrunk into nothing.

"Good work Mourge!" Darkwing said as he grabbed her arm lightly.

"So Dark," she said turning to him. "You never told me the whole story."

"Lets put it this way," he began as they walked away from the bakery. "Negaduck kidnapped Gos and brought her there. I followed and heroically brought her back, then telling you to put that spell on the cake so Negaduck could never return."

"Oh I see."

The two went silent until they came in front of Drake's house. Morgana kissed Darkwing goodnight and with a flick of her wrist she was gone. He sighed heavily and walked into the house. Gosalyn was fast asleep in her room. Darkwing changed into his 'Drake' clothes and headed downstairs. Launchpad was watching Pelican's Island.

"You OK?" Drake asked. Launchpad sighed.

"Yeah. It's good that you came home. I was getting lonely."

"It's OK buddy. Next time you'll tag along. I can't fight anymore crime without my sidekick!"

"Yeah!" Launchpad said. "So, how was your date?"

"Ah, it wasn't much of a date. Just had to finish a few things."

"Oh."

They went silent for a moment. Drake finally spoke up.

"I'm going to bed. See ya in the morning pal."

"G'night DW."

Drake walked upstairs, but before he walked into his bedroom he checked on his daughter. He walked inside and sat on her bed, patting her hair. "Good night honey." he whispered softly. "I promise nothing like that will ever happen again." He walked out and went to bed. The house was silent for the rest of the night.
