---

Donald looked at the Duckmall as the kids got out of the limo and he smiled as he got out in his usual attire plus a jacket and light teal pants as it wasn't Fall yet. It's been a few years since I've been to this area of Duckberg, not since Everet left after everything and set up the Custodian to run the foundation. Still, I wonder how Ziggy is doing, haven't seen those two since the wedding! Donald thought as he followed after the kids. After the last few weeks and finding out Bradford was against Scrooge and the family, the head of FOWL the kids had been locked down in the mansion and only let out today. And they would have been in their longer if Webby hadn't seen that there would be a Darkwing Duck fair at the Duckmall and begged Uncle Scrooge if they could go…..even following him around for a few days and ambushing him to ask. Donald had to get out and offered to come and watch them with Miss. Beakley and here he was.

"Children we are only going to the fair because you convinced Scrooge and because of how you all were doing with training, at least most of you." Ms. Beakley said eye Donald and he looked back with a deadpanned look. Donald smirked and looked at Ms. Beakley, an old spy and partner of his Uncle he had known growing up. Now like always she wore a purple pantsuit and was the maid/ security guard for the mansion, something that he still didn't know why she had left SUSH.

"Still the Duckmall, we've never been here!" Huey said ahead as he led the way with Webby his red shirt, black pants and boots, Dewey in his blue shirt and shorts and sneakers, he looked all-around at the people as they walked through the parking lot. Webby was wearing her usual, a pink shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a blue sleeveless sweater vest, and a purple skirt with a pink bow on the right side of her head on her white hair.

Donald rolled his eyes and walked after them. If Beakley ever figured out that the two of us were in the same job for a while I don't know how she'd react. And if she ever figures out I'm snowballing her, I don't want to think what she'll do! Of course, if Uncle Scrooge ever figured out my true past, how many people I've fought with, against, and how many people I've saved! Still, I never thought I would come back here like this. He thought as he looked up at the mall and smirked.

"Uncle Donald, aren't you coming?" Louie called out and Donald looked at his nephew and saw him in his usual clothes, a blue t-shirt and shorts and sneakers. He was standing next to Leena who was looking back at him with her usual expression in her usual clothes, a teal collared shirt with a black long-sleeved shirt that has gray stripes over it, and light green laced shoes with the tip being white and white pants. She was next to her foster sister Violet, a violet hummingbird in her usual long-sleeved green shirt with light blue accents and black pants with a tail cut out for her tail, white feather and all. Her hair was purplish-black with the tip being curly and the end being in a bun with a dark green band and she had blue eye shadow on. Dewey was next to her in his usual, a green hoodie and tan slacks above white sneakers with his hair curved to his right.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Donald said laughing as he followed after them, his habit of overthinking would get him hurt one of these days, but not today at least.

"Come on Uncle Donald, we're almost there. and a few hours out is just what we need after being stuck in the mansion for the last few weeks." Louie said and Donald nodded while he smirked. What they didn't know was that he was going to get a CD with all the information the Group had on FOWL from an old friend.

"I know, it's been a while since you five went silent, I was starting to get worried," Violet said and looked at her friends. "But what you told me, I understand and I'm sorry I wasn't able to see you before, dad and I were with mom's mother out of town, and well."

"Everything okay V?" Leena asked and Violet nodded. She looked at her friends and remembered her father's nightmares over the last few days and how he seemed to be connected to Magica DeSpell, and she hated to lie to her friends but he was family.

"Slow down kids, we have the fair and then we're heading back for the sleepover so slow down. This place isn't that big, getting out and getting there from this way is fine." Donald called out and fell into step.

"And it will be good to see her again," Donald muttered to himself as he followed after the party. As he walked he looked at the mall and smiled, memories dancing behind his eyes as he remembered everything that he had experienced here.

"And it's good to be back here again," Donald said as he looked around the store

"You've been here before Mr. Duck?" Violet asked and Donald smirked.

"Yeah, but I've told you Violet, just call me Donald," Donald said as they walked into a department store, Donald looking around until he caught the eyes of a camera and smirked, never noticing two people had seen him from behind a shelf, as they recognized him, they both grinned at each other and smirked before they followed after their new target.

"So why did you ever come here without us Uncle Donald?" Dewey asked and Donald chuckled.

"Work, I had a job here a few years ago," Donald said and then he stopped and looked around before he grinned at who he saw outside the store in the mall proper.

"And you've got a lot of nerve showing your face around here again." A voice came from by the left and Beakley dropped into a fighting stance as Webby did the same as the others looked around as Donald sighed.

As Beakley cursed to herself for agreeing to let the kids leave as Leena prepared to use her magic while the triplets prepared to counter-attack anything, Violet reached for her pocket as Webby fell into a combat stance to jump forward at whatever appeared, all of them ready to deal with anything that could come at them, well almost anything.

"And not expecting us to greet you man!" A voice from behind before someone grabbed Donald and hugged him, lifting him off the floor as Ms. Beakley dropped out of her stance and the kids all looked at Donald in confusion as the figure held him.

"PUT ME DOWN RUPERT!" Donald called out loudly as a tall duck in a grey and red security uniform hugged him and held him off the ground. As the kids watched a female dog with black hair walked over in the same grey and red uniform while laughing.

"What, an old friend can't give an old friend a hug D?" The dog said as Rupert dropped Donald who landed on all fours.

"Good to see you too Tempest, Rupert," Donald said and as he got back up and looked at his two old friends. The years had been kind to them and Ruport had a small beard and Tempest was wearing a badge that said second in command and Donald grinned at her. "So you got promoted Tempest, I always knew you had it in you!"

"Yeah…. Well after the mall was acquired by a company we were restructured and the management wanted a better chain of succession and I had seniority. We haven't seen you since Fiztroy got fired! How you been Donald?" Tempest asked and Donald grinned and shrugged.

"Moved back with my Uncle and well….. my houseboat burn down, twice," Donald said dryly and Tempest winced and Rupert's mouth dropped open.

"Ouch, so who're the rugrats? I can guess who you're nephews are but the rest?" Tempest asked Donald grinned and looked at the others.

"Let me introduce you all. Kids Miss. B, these are my old co-workers, Tempest and Rupert. These two walked the beat with me here before Rupert took over for our boss when he retired." Donald said as Tempest and Rupert nodded.

"When was this Uncle Donald?" Huey asked and Donald shrugged.

"It was about years ago when you kids all went to those summer camps and then to that boarding school before it closed down, and this lug was the guy who suggested it," Donald said and looked at Rupert who laughed and smiled at him.

"But I remember you worked at the grocery on 50th when we came back," Huey said and Donald nodded at the question.

"Long story, not his fault but a long story," Rupert said and Donald looked down and remembered how he had left this job and where he had gone once he had.

"Wait…..Tempest, Tempest Gale!? As in the Indie rocker and lead singer for the band Impact?!" Leena asked and Tempest laughed and grinned at the girl.

"A fan then… and here I thought my old rocking career would have been before your time kid. Well, any friend of D is a friend of mine!" Tempest said and held out a hand that Lena shook and Louie snickered before she punched his shoulder and he grinned at her.

"These are my nephews, Huey Dewy and Louie. The girls are friends of the family Violet Saberwing, Lena the fangirl and Webby with her grandmother Ms. Beakley." Donald said as he introduced them to the two security guards. "We're here for the Darkwing Duck event…. When did that start?"

"About two years ago, we lost some customers to the mall across town because they did a movie marathon so they decided to try something like it. After somebody in St. Canard made it real, they decided to have a marathon but then management was contacted so it became a superhero convention. I heard they were in talks for the Darkwing Duck movie to premier here but when the project failed….." Rupert said with a shrug and Donald nodded, having enough contact with the owners or those speaking for them to understand their beliefs and that did sound like them if he thought about it.

"Say, don't you and Stella have a lunch date soon chief, near the fair? And since I'm working the fair today how about we escort them there?" Tempest asked and Rupert grinned before they all off, never noticing someone was following them.

"So you three went to a boarding school?" Violet asked and the triplets shrugged as the party walked through the mall.

"Yeah about an hour on the freeway out of town, nice place really. It was closing down and they wanted a good ending and a full school so they had half off and enroll two get one free. Great place, that's when this guy joined the JR Woodchucks." Louie said pointing at Huey who shrugged.

"And where you learned about business, and I did the end-of-day announcements and a news show at night after supper, man what a year! Still talk to a few of those guys from the show now and then online." Dewey said and Huey nodded and looked at his Uncle as he laughed at something Rupert said about one of the stores and how the guards had caught a thief.

As the party moved through the mall they never noticed that a few people moving back and forth from the corridors to the storage rooms, and how most of them carried more things to the rooms than from them.

A tall female duck with slick black hair that went to her shoulders in a white sleeveless t-shirt and black pants with a grey jacket on moved through the crowds and smiled as she saw her target and then she frowned as she someone trailing them, not even trying to blend in with the crowd as she followed after Donald. As the woman followed Donald and his tail, she recognized her after a few moments and she was shocked and disgust when she saw Beakley. To think that she was a traitor was surprising but it explained a lot about why she had been there then.

The two of them had a few blows over the years while they were both in the game, her old partner having joined up after she had gotten out and she wondered if she'll be able to dance together with her. And she might know who was at that base the two of us attacked separately. I want to know just who to get dad to give us a hand to kill, the two of us need closer about what happened there. She thought as she clenched her hand and looked at the woman. "This time I will have a nice long talk with you Agent 22."

Miss Beakley frowned as Donald led the way and tried to get her paranoia under control. She had been against the outing from the beginning and finding out Donald had worked here in the past and never said anything about it was bothering her. But then again I don't know if we said what mall we were going to. Still, why does this bother me so much? I mean this is Donald, he's been the boy's guardian for years and always tried to take care of them to the best of his was something she hadn't expected, but the ease that he had as he led the way towards the park and the fair was something else.

As they walked through the mall Donald told the kids about a few incidents in his security days, Violet talking with Webby as Leena talked to Tempest.

"So how'd you ever hear my music anyway? We only had one single and CD before everything went belly up." Tempest said and Leena shrugged.

"That concert you had in that closed down factory, the one that the Duck Avenger and the robots crashed," Leena said and Tempest looked at Leena in surprise.

"That was at a few years ago and how do you know about the robots? Did you stay up and see the report?" Tempest asked and Leena shrugged.

"I was there. I haven't really aged since I was born." Leena said bitterly and Tempest looked at her shocked.

"You were…." Tempest said and trailed off, looking at Donald who shrugged and looked back at her over his shoulder.

"She's magic Tempest, like that ex that tried to brainwash you," Donald said and Tempest looked at Leena and ahhed and nodded

"Wait, the Duck Avenger was real!?" Huey asked excitedly and Tempest nodded as Webby squealed.

Donald winced and hoped that Webby hadn't gone crazy and researched the superheroes of Duckberg, but then he knew her so there was little doubt she had.

"I knew it, I knew he was real! I mean I saw the photos in the paper and my superhero research, but I never found anything about him online! I only ever saw him in a few artist's works and blurry photo's I found in the Bin's library in old newspapers!" Webby said Donald looked at her and forced down a smile as Uno's handiwork was once again pulling his fat out of the fire.

"Come on, the Avenger is a myth. I mean I heard the stories but come on, a superhero in Duckberg?" Huey asked and Tempest looked at him and laughed.

"Your Uncle never talked about him? He was saved by him enough that he was almost a friend of the guy!" Rupert said and Donald looked away as Webby looked at him in awe.

"You knew a superhero?! Why didn't you ever say anything about it?!" Dewey asked as the kids looked at Donald who only shrugged.

"After all the trouble I got in with that reporter I just stayed quiet about it really. And after that stupid idiot stole my trash looking for a way to find the Avenger that's why we used a PO Box for a while, and that's why we moved to the houseboat." Donald said bitterly and looked up at the ceiling as they reached their destination and frowned.

"Still you saw the Duck Avenger! I mean he's one of the cryptids of the superhero world! Only the Organization is more unknown!" Webby said and Donald felt something in him clench as he saw Ms. Beakley look up at Webby as she spoke and he hoped what she was talking about wasn't what he feared it was.

"The who?" Leena asked as Donald stared at Webby and took all of his training from reacting anymore than and looking at her as she spoke.

"An international criminal organization that is more myth than reality! Most law enforcement thinks it doesn't exist, but there are reports of people being places they shouldn't be before strange events and gunshots exchanged between unknown parties all over the world, and the only evidence is the same word heard by witnesses, 'The Organization' that all there it is!" Webby said excitedly and Dewey looked at Webby and grinned.

"I think we have a new research project!" Dewey said as he looked at Webby who grinned back. Donald thought about how to cut off their research before it sets off something that should be left buried in the shadows.

"No!" Beakley barked and the kids all looked at them. " This 'Organization' if it exists is better than SHUSH if they've kept that level of information protection going! I don't want you getting those people if they exist interested in you all!"

"She's right kids, sometimes less is better, and with the trouble we're already in. But I know how you all are so you can look online for rumors, conspiracy boards, blogs, and newspaper articles but that's it!" Donald said sternly and Beakley looked at him and nodded. As the group moved on Donald fell back and looked at Ms. Beakley and signaled her to walk with him, waiting until she was next to him before speaking softly.

"So what do you know about that whatever group Webby was talking about and do we have to be worried about it?" Donald asked quietly as they walked through the mall as Rupert led the way, telling a joke to Huey, wondering what Beakley knew about his old foes.

"No, at least I don't think so. I still have a few ears in that world, the Organization was destroyed three times within the last ten years and currently, the various cells are fighting each other to come out on top. Supposedly this was done by this group called the 'Agency', but then some idiots called 'Management' took over… to call them a covert organization is an insult to all thinking beings and it's giving them too much credit." Beakley said flatly and Donald winced.

"They're that bad?" Donald asked and Beakley nodded.

"Sometimes politicians make the worst choices, and the first rule of armchair strategy is to kill the armchair strategist, spymasters more so, slowly if possible," Beakley said flatly and Donald winced.

Outwardly he was calm, but inside he was laughing as he remembered how he had destroyed all the data on his old comrades in the Management's servers before he had 'retired' Double Duck. But even now his part-time work as a member of the Group was something he was proud of. They might not be paladins but they did good work, and if they stole from the crooks, well that was just a good business model as far as he was concerned. Good, the last thing I want is for Ms. B. or Scrooge to find out about my work as a member of the old Agency and the Group, if they found out about my past then I don't want to know what Uncle Scrooge will say. Donald thought as he followed Rupert towards the end of the walkway with glass guard rails blocking the edge and an escalator nearby that the group walked towards.

"Welcome to the jewel of the mall, the Lower Garden. In actuality that used to be an old abandoned bombing shelter from the war that everyone forgot about until construction began on this place, they found it and made the lower shopping level and the garden after they figured out how to get light down there." Rupert said and looked at Donald with a smirk.

"And the hazing was to change the bulbs down there. But this guy found a hidden passage the builders never noticed and we now have a substation down there with a good room to have lunch in." Tempest said punching Donald's shoulder and he grinned back at her.

"Adventuring with my Uncle was good for something after all. I swear the number of times we've found a hidden chamber in a ruin….." Donald said and shook his head Tempest laughed while Webby and the boys grinned.

"I'll say! Remember the last time when we found out that old cult chamber when Uncle Scrooge took us to that temple in Mexico?" Louie asked and

"And how we were sure it was sentient sacrificing but instead it was where they made popcorn?" Huey said and Violet looked at him with awe.

"You have to tell me about that later. Was it the work of a recent group or was it old?" Violet asked and Dewy scoffed.

"The room was old but the people were still using it, not so much," Dewey said bitterly as Louie punched his shoulder.

"You're just angry that she almost fleeced you bro," Louie said and Dewey looked away, a blush on his face as his brothers laughed and Webby giggled.

"Who did what?" Leena asked and Huey started to snicker as Dewey fumed and blushed.

"This duckling daughter of the former high priest of the cult," Huey said with a smirk. "She tried to sell us some amulets of protection before we went into the ruins, said they were ancient and all that. Turned out the stones were fool's gold she found in an old ruin she was living in."

"It turns out that a group of Mayans survived down there since the Spanish Colonization, they've assimilated but they had a few relics that the professors were excited about for some reason," Webby said with a grin as Violet looked at them. "And Uncle Scrooge told us that the professor in charge of the study down there said we would get some of the credit for the group to light."

Donald nodded and hid a smirk. The way the professor had contacted the university about the discovery had shocked most of the board. He was so excited about a lot of what the elders of that group had told him things that made him speechless. The last message he had was that the professor they had a chance to talk to them and after a while had learned stories about other groups that set off from the end of the Mayans and hide away a lot of knowledge, a translation had called one of the cities the 'Library of the Empire'. Even now the professor was trying to chart the way to another possible hidden temple located near Rio.

But Donald was worried, the pictures on the relics revealed what the professor thought was a legend about the fall of the empire, but something about the pictures were bothering him, they seemed religious at a first glance but there was something about them….. And after how Glomgold had all but attacked the dig site, the next expedition was being played close to the vest for the entire College and Donald still was looking into maybe hiring security to guard them.

"Man, you must learn a lot traveling the world," Rupert said and Donald shrugged.

"By the time I was sixteen I probably knew more about fighting than most tournament fighters, and more languages than most translators.." Donald said with a smile and Tempest looked at him as Rupert chuckled.

"Like the one you used when you caught that thief during your second weak, the one that was supposedly a black belt?" Rupert asked and Donald laughed.

"You're forgetting that I was trying to help those people repair the escalator and I accidentally pushed the toolbox back and that was how he tripped remember? And was it what we were repairing that he tried to go down and broke his legs?" Donald asked as then looked up as the kids looked at him in awe.

"No, but how you were worried that you would be fired for it when me and Mortimor made it there was, that was funny," Tempest said as Donald pushed her as he smirked.

Beakley looked at Donald and was surprised as he tried to play it off, she was about to say something when she frowned and looked around again. She didn't want to alarm anyone but for the last few minutes she had been sure that someone was following them, but as they reached the fair and the tents set up she hoped that she was wrong about her feelings and slipped away silently to check the area out.

As the kids ran forward Donald looked around and frowned as he saw that a lot of the floats that used to be here were gone and that Miss Beakley had disappeared. "They do away the advertising displays Rupert?"

"Yeah, there was a fire about a year ago, either an arsonist or a wildfire, we never found out and the corporation never told us," Rupert said softly and looked around and sighed.

"This big lug and Stella were on a vacation and I was at a memorial for my captain," Tempest said and looked down at Donald's look.

Donald looked around and sighed and shook his head. So much for that idea, sorry K this won't be as easy as I hoped. Still, if that slime was still around I wouldn't dare make the drop here, he'd make trouble like how he almost made Rupert think I was after Stella…. I just want to handle this right. He thought as he nodded at Tempest and looked around at the kids, some of them in costumes and he smirked as he saw a girl in a Duck Avenger costume and when he saw the shield on her arm he just smirked.

The Duck Avenger was just a myth and legend beyond a few Bigfoot photos like what Webby found and that he liked. After everything that happened when the Evronians attacked the last time and then when Nebula and her slaves had attacked the city, and when the gangs had all been caught and crime died down before the kids had come back from that school, he was happy to put his suit away in the Tower, be he had to say that he sometimes running over the rooftops. But the feeling of doing good and justice he loved it and his job at the Group kept that alive, even if they stole from criminals nowadays.

As Rupert said goodbye Donald noticed that Tempest stayed around and walked off to another portion of the fair as Beakley had disappeared into the crowd. Walking towards where the girl in the copy of his old costume had come from he saw a cosplay stand and he smirked as he saw who was working it, happy to see another old friend of his.

"Hey, ever got that factory back in order Lyo?" Donald called out and the Duck behind the counter looked up and smiled as he saw Donald walk over.

"Donald my man! Haven't seen you in a beast's age!" Lyo said happily as he laughed. Lyo was a duck that had a scruffy appearance and was wearing blue overalls with a light blue shirt under it and he smirked at Donald as they clasped hands, wrists to wrists. Donald looked around at the table and saw a book titled 'Real Life Superheroes' and a few books that looked like they were about individual heroes and grinned at the duck.

"So how've you been?" Donald asked and Lyo shrugged and grinned.

"Not too bad, not too good. I'm trying to find a backer to get the factory open again, the money I've got pays the bills and all since I've moved back into the factory full time and the solar panels I've set up gives me enough power so I'm good. And the last earthquake gave me a great aquifer so I have water. I mostly hit up these things for a little spending cash." Lyo said with a shrug. Donald looked at his friend and smirked, made a few more minutes of small talk before walking off, the laughter and sounds of the people around him causing him to grin.

As he moved towards the right side of the fair he saw a few flowers that he knew, and he could think of no reason for them to be there. As he looked at them he frowned and grabbed a staffer. "Hey! Do you know who set up the flowers over there?"

"No, I just heard that they were delivered by the company for this thing, sorry but I got to get to the main stage!" The staffer said and walked off, leaving Donald to looked at the flowerers before he shrugged and walked off. As he moved through the crowd felt someone slip her hand into his pocket and deposit what he had been expecting. He forced down a smile and walked off, moving towards the fair, his good mood falling as he noticed a few things that the flowers had keyed him into.

She walked off and smiled as she moved away from her target and grinned as she felt someone following behind her. As she turned the corner she saw that Ms. Beakley was following her and she smirked. This was just what she wanted, this was a long time coming and she hoped this time she would be able to get a few answers from her. As she moved by a manakin she smirked at the weapon she found.

Behind her, Beakley scowled as she followed after the woman she hoped she wouldn't see ever again, the child of her oldest enemy. The two of them had clashed a few times before she had quite SHUSH to raise Webby and seeing the woman here was something that she wasn't happy about.

As Beakley followed the woman around a corner she jumped to the right as the woman swung a manakin at her! Beakley rolled to her feet and the woman swung out with a right hook that Beakley dodged and moved backwards as the woman attacked, sending a fury of blows that Beakley dodged or blocked before grabbing the woman and throwing her towards the wall, the woman landing on it and pushed off flying at Beakley who dodged and looked at the woman, identify her beyond a doubt.

"Red Primrose." Beakley snarled as the dark-haired duck woman grinned back.

"Agent 22. How many years has it been since you left the game?" Red Primrose said softly and Beakley growled as she looked at the mercenary before her. She and her father had bested her and been bested by her a few times but she had escaped to Scrooge 's mansion and her father had tried to steal a few of Scrooge 's company's inventions over the years but Beakely hadn't seen the daughter, until now. She has to be with FOWL, that's the only reason she'd try and steal from Donald. If he had anything in his wallet to let him wander about the bin then I need to get it back. She thought as she looked at Red Primrose and prepared to try and capture her.

"Not long enough," Beakley growled as she went on the attack, Red Primrose blocking them as she led Beakley into the corridor and she smirked as Beakley attacked.

"I always wondered what happened to you to get you to drop down, but then after everything that happened then I think I figure it out!" Red Primrose snarled at Beakley as she dodged backward into the sloping hallway, moving ever downwards as she seemed to lose ground against Beakley.

"Once I capture you, I'll finally learn everything about your people," Beakley said gravely and pressed a button on her watch glared at her opponent. Red Primrose only growled and moved backward; dodging the blows that Beakley dealt her and kept moving.

As they moved through the passageways Red Primsoe saw a camera on the wall and hide a frown as she saw that it had something attached to it. FOWL must have really pulled out all the stops this time, I wonder how they knew Donald would be here ahead of time? If he's been attacked with those kids as hostages I don't know how DD will get out of this. But I need to handle this traitor bitch first before I can go help him. She thought as she exchanged blows with Beakley as they moved ever downwards into the storerooms of the mall.

Donald looked around and couldn't help but think something was wrong here; something was calling all his senses and instincts from his Adventuring days, his two careers in heroics and the time in college to scream at him that something was so wrong. As he walked around he decided to find the kids and moved towards where he had seen a lot of kids and parents going towards. As he reached the crowd he heard a cheer and frowned and pushed his way through them until he went still at what he found.

In front of him was an archery range with a few kids and teens firing arrows down range and as the last arrow hit he saw Webby next to Gosalyn Mallard, Webby grinning as she reached over to shake Gosalyn's hand.

"Good contest!" Webby said and Gosalyn grinned back at her.

"Same here!" Gosalyn said and as a convention staffer came over and smiled at them.

"Great match kids, but we only have one prize." The Staffer said and he turned towards a table with a cloth-covered item on it. another staffer removed it and revealed a box set of Darkwing Duck DVDs and Gosalyn and Webby looked at each other and Webby smirked at her.

"I've got all the seasons, you can have it," Webby said and Gosalyn shook her head.

"Me too. My dad, he has the full set with actors' commentary. But I would like the trophy or whatever." Gosalyn said and the staffer nodded.

"Sure….Then if the winners don't want it, it goes to the runner-up! Let's have a cheer for these good sports!" The staffer called out before the crowd cheered and Donald shook his head before he walked towards where he saw the other kids and then stepped back as someone he knew stepped past him.

"Drake?" Donald asked in shock and the Duck wearing a green plaid shirt turned to look at Donald and did a double-take.

"Donald? What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in years!" Drake said and Donald grinned.

"Not since college. Say, did you ever get into acting?" Donald asked as Drake had loved working on the plays the college put on.

"Tried it, but I'm pursuing a different career these days. What about you?" Drake asked and Donald smirked before Gosalyn came over and hugged Drake as the kids came over and Drake rubbed Gosalyn's head.

"Hey dad, I won! The prize wasn't something to take home soooo but I got the medal." Gosalyn said and Donald raised an eye at Drake.

"Gosalyn, that you?" Dewey asked and Gosalyn and Drake looked at him then at the others.

"You know them how?" Donald asked and Dewey looked at him, not that Donald needed to ask. So Drake's the new hero on the block, good to know. I wonder, with everything that's happening should the Avenger make a comeback? Without Uno, I don't know… Donald thought as he waited for a reply from his nephew.

"I ran into them before Bulba grabbed me, and well," Dewey said and Donald nodded and Drake looked from Dewey to Donald.

"These you're kids?" Drake asked and Donald shook his head and laughed, Drake's question caused an old pain of his to flare for a second but he buried it as he shook his head.

"No. No their my sister's. So what are you doing, last I heard from you was when you were going west?" Donald asked and Drake shrugged and laughed.

"I did. I came back for a project that was canceled and I never left, got a PI license and here I am." Drake said and looked around with a whimsical look. As a kid in a Darkwing mask ran by laughing Donald saw Drake's eyes light up and he knew that his thoughts about him were right.

As they stood there the loudspeakers came on just then. "Folks the archery contest is done but remember that the main event will happen in an hour! Be there for a special surprise and remember, this is all to honor the great show that was Darkwing Duck!"

Donald looked towards one of the speakers and frowned, something about that was bothering him. As the kids looked around he saw Drake frown for a second and then Donald looked around, trying to find out if he could see Ms. Beakley anywhere around them and when he couldn't, then he looked at Webby. "Where's you're Grandmother?"

"She texted me, she said was walking around and to call once we're ready to leave," Webby said and Dewey looked around.

"We still don't have to leave just yet, do we Uncle Donald? I heard that they're going to show a pilot for a possible Darkwing cartoon as a closing treat!" Dewey begged and Donald looked at the looks on the other kids and sighed. He eyed Drake and Gosalyn before nodding after a few moments.

"Okay, okay. But I want you to stay with Drake and if he says go, you go. I need to track down Ms. B, stay safe and at the end sit near the doors and don't hold back if something happens." Donald said as he looked at Drake who nodded.

"Sure Donald, I'll watch these kids while you find her grandmother, it'll be fine," Drake said and Donald nodded before he moved away into the crowd. Leena frowned and looked around the fair, Louie catching her eye as the group moved towards the main stage.

As they walked Louie moved in a way so that he was next to Leena and Violet as he looked the other way from Leena to look at the fair, noting a few things that bothered him. "You have a bad feeling too Leena?"

"Yep," Leena said as Violet nodded and reached into her pockets and went over what potions she had.

"I have a smoker, a paralyzer, and an armor potion," Violet said softly and looked at the others and sighed. I need to see if I can make those weapon carry charms for the others, I mean Louie's weapon alone would help the others and Leena has her amulet but we need something else to defend ourselves with this kind of trouble. She thought as she moved towards the main area.

As Red Primrose dodged backward as Beakley moved in for the kill as they fought through the hallways. If she was sure about it, then they were getting closer to where the festival was, and for some reason with each foot she took, Red Primrose was sure that she was getting closer to something. The last few cameras had another piece of tech added on and she was sure that most of them were of the type to

Beakley hadn't noticed anything, only on the spy that she was sure she had seen on the last mission she had done for SHUSH. If this woman knows anything about Webby or Black Heron I will get it out of her if I have to torture her! I can't let Webby learn anything that will make her think she has to do anything, she's innocent, she deserves to make her own choices! She thought as they looked at each other both panting and Red Primrose saw that Beakley was getting even more out of breath than she was.

"What's the matter old woman, not going to the gym much anymore?" Red Primrose asked and Beakley glared at her. She smirked as she looked at Beakley, all she had to do was keep her off balance and until she could take her down or escape.

Beakley kept an eye on Red Primrose as she panted. As she looked at her opponent, she tried to figure out how she would capture this woman, and how to get her away without the guards seeing her. I could tell them she's a spy that stole something from the company, but if they call the police on us it might bring my name back into official documents… if they find Webby then who knows what they could do to her, I still don't know what they wanted from her in the first place! Beakley thought as she rushed as Red Primrose and threw a barrage of punches that Red Primrose blocked and grabbed her arm, throwing her down the hallway and smirked.

"I guess that whatever caused you to leave SHUSH is why you're so week, was it worth it? What could have caused you to leave, was it worth it? After all this time maybe I should look into it, talk to everyone that it affects." Red Primrose said and Beakley went still as she imagined her daughter being tortured by this woman caused her to lose it.

With a roar Beakley charged and tackled Red Primrose and they fell against a door and as it slammed open and they fell to the floor with her on top of her opponent she looked down at Red Primrose and snarled at her.

"You listen to me! I don't care what you might think you know, but I will not you touch her, do you understand me!?" Beakley growled before they both heard the sound of guns being cocked and aimed at them. They looked up to see some burly looking beings in the with staffer vests on between them and a circular platform a few feet away

"Well, that was surprising. Hey boss we've got some party crashers!" One of them called out and laughter was heard.

"Who dares to try and stop Negaduck!?" A voice boomed out as a tall duck in a yellow four-buttoned jacket above yellow pants with a yellow wide-brimmed hat and a black cape with a red lining appeared and smirked at them.

XXXXXXX

Donald walked towards the convention and tried to figure out what was bothering him and coming up with nothing. As he walked around he finally found Tempest and smiled, she might know something like might let him calm down, but that hope died down as got a better look at his friend.

Tempest was looking around, a scowl on her face as she moved. Ever since she had made it to the fair something had been bothering her and she still couldn't tell what that was.

"So you're seeing something wrong here too Tempest?" Donald's question from behind her caused her to turn and see her friend and nodded after a few moments and chuckle bitterly.

"So you've seen things that are bothering you too D? I don't know why I'm worried, I thought it was my nerves but if you're seeing the same thing too," Tempest said and moved aside as one of the staffers walked by them carrying a cardboard box, how he was acting showed that it was very heavy.

"It's the flowers over there, they symbolize death," Donald said softly and Tempest went still and looked at the flowers near them before swallowing and looking back at Donald who shrugged.

"How the heck do you know that?" Tempest asked in shock and Donald shrugged.

"I had this very romantic housemate during college. Every date of his had to be just right, from the flowers to the restaurant. One time a friend of ours had to get pink flowers and grabbed ones that meant hatred. So who choose these?" Donald asked as he looked around and frowned as he noticed a few of the staffers had a certain vibe to them, a look that he knew he had seen before, but from where? This is insane, what's wrong with me? I mean where could I have….wait he looks like! If that's the case then! He thought as he looked around.

"I think the fair did, I mean they were giving free rein to do anything that wouldn't be wrong or offensive," Tempest said but Donald was only half-listening, his eyes tracking everything.

As he looked around he hoped but saw more of the staffers with the look to them here and there, all of them near the exits and he looked down at the ground, his worry getting stronger and he looked at Tempest. "Who set this up?"

"A company from New Zealand that's supposedly branching out to Duckberg. The convention group contacted us and said that they had everything set up and just needed to rent the space." Tempest said before Donald looked at her and then they heard someone speak up from behind them.

"No, you contacted us!" A voice caused them to turn and see a Gecko in black pants and a blue long sleeve shirt with a badge that said 'Supervisor Dergmore' who frowned at them.

"I'm sorry?" Tempest asked and the Gecko looked at them and frowned.

"Sorry, I'm Zack Dergmore, the head of the Darkwing Duck[Cartoon] Appreciation Society. We got an email about a convention that you wanted us to run here." Zack said and Tempest looked at him in shock.

"We what?! What email?" Tempest demanded and Zack looked at them in concern.

... wait that's not this place's owner's official email is it?" Zack asked and Donald started to really feel something was wrong here.

"We contact…no you emailed us! I saw the email from DarkJ myself!" Tempest and Zack went white as he fell back and slid down the wall and Donald felt ever more things were wrong by his reaction.

"DarkJ? That's Jim's old email." Zack said Horsley and Donald's eyes widened and Tempest just looked confused and opened her mouth before Donald spoke over her.

"Jim, as in Jim Sterling!?" Donald asked Zack nodded.

"Yeah, I asked why he used that email once. He said he made it when he was at college, in this school in New Zealand when he was writing the Darkwing pilot. He said it was something a frat brother of his helped him set up during the dawn of the internet. The man was also the source of money to produce the pilot if I remember right, I think his name was … what was it? Baker, Forger, Fix…." Zack asked and Donald went still and felt all his worries crystalize as he realized just who the lizard was talking about.

"Cook, was it Cook?" Donald asked and Zack looked at Donald and nodded.

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Zack said and Donald just looked at him.

"I knew somebody who knew him," Donald said as he grabbed Tempest and pulled her away and with a look from him she into step behind him. As soon as they were away from Zack Donald started to curse and punched the wall, Tempest looking around in concern.

"What is it Donald, who's this Cook?" Tempest asked as she looked at him, her eyes looking around to make sure that no one was looking at them.

"Fenimore Cook, I heard an old Kiwi I know talk about him once, nothing good. And he's based in New Zealand." Donald snarled and Tempest looked worried.

"How bad is he?" Tempest asked as she looked around and Donald snorted.

"Let me put it this way, from what you told me and he told; Cook would have been a good friend of your former superior Fog," Donald said darkly and Tempest went still before growling.

"How good a friend?" Tempest asked darkly and Donald looked away.

"He could never prove it, but Angus said that Cook wouldn't mind killing a lot of people to advance a plan of his. And Uncle Scrooge said that Jim Sterling died during the movie's production… but they never found his body." Donald finished and looked at Tempest who swallowed and looked around in worry.

"How bad could this be, as bad as when you dressed up as the Avenger that one time?" Tempest asked and Donald snorted and shook his head.

"Maybe worse, but from what I remembered about Jim Sterling he was arrogant, prideful and always thought he was right. If he survived and went mad…. I always wondered just where the money for the pilot came from." Donald said bitterly and Tempest snorted and nodded, how the Darkwing Duck show was first financed was one of the mysteries of it.

"I'll let Rupert know we might have another incident in the works…. I don't like this at all." Tempest said as she looked at Donald who nodded.

"Yeah, I'm going to find Ms. B, I don't like the fact she's missing," Donald said as he walked away from Tempest as she reached for her radio and activated it.

"Rupert, this is Tempest. You free big guy cause we've got either a big problem or a mystery to solve." Tempest said into her radio as she ran towards the station nearest to the fair.

XXXXXXX

Rupert looked down at his radio as it barked and looked up as he flashed a small smile at his wife, Stella. She was a female duck, tall and thin and she was wearing her regular clothing, a purple dress that ended at her knees with violet-colored sleeves. The two of them were in a restaurant on the top floor in a private booth and she nodded at him, they both knew Tempest wouldn't call unless she had to when they were on a date.

"Get it, Rupert, I know your job is important," Stella said and Rupert grinned at her with relief in his eyes.

"Thanks baby. This is Rupert Tempest, what's wrong?" Rupert said as he activated his radio.

"Me and Donald had a little talk with the president of the fan club, they think we contacted them for this fair," Tempest said bluntly and Rupert went still and swallowed as Stella looked at the radio in shock.

"What!? But all those emails we received!?" Rupert demanded as Stella looked at him in concern as he stood up.

"Yeah, according to the fan they were from the email of the dead star! And remember when I told you about Fog? Well, Donald said he heard about the owner of the company that might have sent the staffers might have been friends with the bastard if the two met." Tempest said and Rupert swallowed and looked at his wife who looked back with fear in her eyes, the night Tempest had told them about her past and what had happened to her and her mentor, it was a bad night all around.

"Hells. Tempest gather everyone and I want you to take half of them with you to check out the storage rooms they asked to use, send the others to the top and start clearing the mall, top-down. I'll get in touch with the owners, get Donald to help if you have to!" Rupert said as he looked at Stella.

"Rupert, what is it?" Stella asked in worry and Rupert looked at her,

"Stella I want you to leave the mall, go outside, and if anything happens within the next hour call the police," Rupert said as he flagged down a waiter.

"Check please," Rupert said as he got out a credit card and handed it to the waiter as he ran out of the restaurant. Stella looked at the waiter and stood up, dusting off her dress and smiled.

"I need to talk to your manager," Stella said and the waiter looked from Rupert to Stella before shrugging.

As Rupert left the restaurant he moved towards the top security station and kept talking into his radio. "Where are you now Tempest?"

"Heading to the main station to get this underway, I found one of the roaming patrols and sent them after a staffer carrying a box, Donald's gone. He went to find the woman he was with." Tempest said as Rupert reached the station and the people on duty there turned and saw him.

XXXXXXX

Donald moved through the mall and followed after one of the thuggish-looking staffers. So far he had dropped off a single box near the exits and Donald had slipped out and followed after him as he walked away, stopping one of the guards and telling him to tell Tempest what he had seen and slipped away after his target. So far the staffer had moved through the mall and picked up another box from another staffer and moved towards one of the exits. Donald watched him put the box into a trashcan outside and frowned as the staffer walked back towards the convention. If I remember right, the pickup was this morning and we only removed the bags before supper and only during the day if it was overflowing….so then the box was meant to go there but they would have a place to drop the trash so why…. Donald thought as he walked to the trash can and saw three guards running towards him as he brought the box out of the trash.

"Sir, we're with mall security, we need you to step away and…." One of the three began before Donald snorted and looked at him in exasperation.

"Relax. I'm the one who told Tempest what the problem was. So let's see what he's got." Donald said and opened the box to reveal a metal box with wires from the top to the bottom.

"Bomb." One of the three guards whispered in fear as Donald shot a look at him with a disgusted look and sighed as the other two moved away. He put the box down and then grabbed a radio from one of the guards and activated it. "HEY!"

"Oh be quiet, this might be a bomb but it probably isn't. Tempest, Rupert this is Donald. I'm at the east exit, the staffer I was following put a box with a device in it into a garbage can, probably the others too. From the looks of its remote-controlled and has some kind of sensor unit." Donald said and

"Is it a bomb?" Rupert's voice asked and Donald looked at the box on the ground and thought about how heavy it was and shook his head.

"No, my instincts are telling me no but we can't take the chance it is, so get everyone you can away from the mall," Donald said and waited for a reply as he looked at the guards who were staring at the box with fear and Donald barely held back a glare.

"Then we have to get everyone out from the store exits before they figure out something is wrong," Tempest said over the radio and Donald looked at the three guards as they looked at him as he rolled his eyes.

"Got it, I'm going dark Tempest. I think it's time to find out what their main plan is. Good luck getting everyone out of here, I'll try and buy us some time." Donald said as he moved the box behind the trashcan and nodded at the three guards as he handed over the radio before he slipped into the mall before anyone could react to him. As the three guards looked at him a man on a motorcycle parked and ran after Donald.

"Sir, sir are you Donald Duck?" Donald turned at the question and saw the cyclist walking towards him. He was a tall Lizard wearing a delivery uniform and held out a box to him. "Sorry to bother you, but this was from a Mr. Uno and he wanted you to get this right away."

"Thanks but I don't have….time…..Uno?" Donald asked as he grabbed the box and tore it open, revealing a normal-looking watch with a stylized D on the band. He signed for it robotically and put it on as he moved towards a bathroom. As he walked he blinked, as his vision went white before a heads-up display appeared in his vision as a green duck head appeared to his right, smiling at him.

"Is that you Uno?" Donald subvocalized and the Uno laughed and nodded.

"Howdy Hero! It's been a while." Uno said and Donald barely kept from crying as he saw one of his greatest friends again.

"What are you doing here, I thought Evert shut you down after the attack of your brother," Donald asked as he walked into a single-use bathroom and closed the door.

"That is a long story, and a lot of it is bad…..Evert sent me ahead of him and I'm currently at the Tower but I'm guessing that there's a problem here Old Cape?" Uno asked and Donald nodded before he wondered if Uno saw the action. "Well, then it's a good thing that I sent you the Beacon Watch! It put nanobots into you that give you augmented reality and the watch sends out a signal so I can teleport you to the base as soon as we both authorize it. So want to come over?"

"Later, I need you to hack into the network here, I need eyes here Uno!" Donald said and Uno nodded and Donald looked at the bathroom as before his eyes watered and he rubbed them.

"I'm in, I have the cameras and personal files, what are we looking for?" Uno asked and Donald smirked.

"First, find when I came in from Ali's Department store, the party I was with, find the older female Duck I need to know where she went. Then I need you to check all the exits, if other packages like the one I picked up from the garbage were deposited there I need to know." Donald said and Uno frowned as his eye flashed.

"Old cape, all of the exits from the mall itself have one of those boxes in the garbage there. And I found the woman you were with, she chased a female duck with black hair down a hallway and….. I have no cameras there and in a room down there, they're all being fed a loop starting from a few hours ago." Uno said and Donald went still and swore under his breath.

"Great," Donald said and shook his head. Of course, she saw the hand-off, I just have to hope she thought it was a pickpocketing! I need to go and save them if they went down then whoever is behind this has to be there! Donald thought as Uno looked at Donald with a raised eyebrow.

"By your reaction, you know the second woman old cape?" Uno asked and Donald nodded.

"Heer name's Kay…..she's my partner Uno," Donald said and Uno looked at him before frowning. "I met her after you left the second time and well…..I asked her here for a handoff of some data I need about some scum threatening my family."

"Got it Old Cape. I….there's another network in the mall. Each device is sending data to another device and each one is sending its signal independently from each other…..whatever it's counting down, it'll happen in minutes!" Uno said and Donald swallowed and thought of the map of the mall and then a copy of it appeared in his vision. He looked at it with his and smirked, this would be very handy in the future.

"Uno send out an anonymous call to the police, say anything to get SWAT here as soon as possible! I'll try and see what's happening down there!" Donald said subvocally as he dashed out of the bathroom towards a tunnel that he knew would lead to the place where he hoped Kay was.

"So you tried to stop me, didn't you? Well, it'll take more than you to even try! BWAHAHAHA!" Negaduck laughed as he stood before the women. In quick succession, both Beakley and Red Primrose had been captured and tied to two pipes, Red Primrose facing the door as Beakley had been facing the stage as Negaduck laughed.

"I don't even know who you are!" Beakley interrupted him and Negaduck went still and looked at Beakley, his eyes shrunk to pinpoints.

"What?" Negaduck growled as the minions around him looked at each other with worry as Beakley kept talking.

"I was trying to capture that witch you tied up behind me!" Beakley said and Negaduck went still before he snarled and walked towards Beakley.

"So you can't leave things alone, can you? You just have to stick your nose into anything that's against your morals and tried to stop that bitch from snooping around down here?" Negaduck snarled at Beakley as Red Primrose laughed. "Shut up you! I don't know how you figured out I was here and what you

"I didn't know you were here, I was trying to capture her too!" Red Primrose said and Negaduck was struck dumb before he started to laugh.

"So in the end I have two pawns who were trying to king themselves by taking out the other? Oh, this is too much! Today I begin again and this is oh so good to have two captive audiences before the main event!" He whizzed out as he kept laughing until one of the burly thugs coughed and he looked at him. "WHAT?!"

"The last deposit was done sir and the special items we needed are being set up in the other rooms, and these three." The thug said and point towards three rectangular boxes being pushed into the room on hand carts.

"Good, everything is ready. I don't know why he wanted those things here but let's get started, everyone show time!" Negaduck said and walked towards the stage and smirked.

XXXXXXX

Webby frowned as she looked at the stage from the final row of seats, Duey had wanted to get closer but Drake was firm that Donald had said to stay here. She didn't know what Donald had seen that she hadn't but Leena and Voilot both were nervous and that was enough for her to look around with a harder eye, but she couldn't see anything out of place. As the chatter of the other kids around the tent intensified she frowned, the main event was supposed to have started about ten minutes ago, but what was it.

"I think this is a no show guys, lets head to the food court and call Uncle Donald and Ms. B to meet there," Dewey said as he got off his chair and looked around at the others. His brothers were already nodding and the girls were looking at each other and Louie saw some agreement there but there was a kind of relief in Leena and Voilot that bothered him for some reason but he shrugged and looked at his brothers.

"Yeah, maybe that is the right thing to do," Louie said with a frown. His scammer's senses were ringing, something was coming and he didn't like it at all.

"Might be the best thing to do, what do you think Dad?" Gosalyne asked and Drake was about to speak up when a hush came over the crowd. Looking up they say Zach at the front.

"Folks thanks for being so patient. There was a strange mix-up here and well…. We don't know who scheduled this event so for the last few minutes we were trying to find anything about what it was supposed to be and came up with nothing. So after a few moments, we'll play a few episodes from the final season, I'm sorry but this was the best we could do." Zach said before a low rumbling suddenly started and an explosion happed behind him as the stage was destroyed and debris was flung towards them, Zach being thrown into the front row.

Leena reacted and used her amulet to block the debris and set it down before she almost dropped as well as she was still learning to use the right amount of magic and the backlash of a private adventure the girls had. As the dust cleared a duck figure appeared rising from the ground.

"Well, well well. So the old show still has a following? Surprising considering how the powers that be dumped it so fast. But don't worry, you'll all get to be there for the first act of NEGADUCK!" Negduck roared as from the smoke people started firing over the heads.

The kids and Drake ran out of the tents as screams started to fill the grounds. That was Jim, it had to be! But what happened to him…he must have gone mad. Looks like Darkwing has to fight his creator. But then there's the kids…. Drake thought but a look from Gosalyn made his nod at her.

"Kids get to safety, I'll buy you some time!" Drake said before he ran off as the kids went the other way following Gosalyn. They came out into chaos as security guards tried to bring order out of it as burly staffers attacked anyone they could. When one came at them Voilot threw one of her potions as Webby and Louie carried Leena as Huey and Gosalyn led the way towards the right side.

"We need to find someplace in one of the stores to hide!" Huey said and Gosalyn nodded.

"Yeah!" Gosalyn agreed and looked over her shoulder. Dad needs some time to change and handle this…. That looked like their coming from the other side and down, then we need to get up and to the right! She thought as they ran.

"What about the station they told us about?!" Webby asked as she followed Gosalyn towards the escalators as the chaos around them intensified as parents fought to protect their kids.

"That'll be the first place these people will attack, we need something on the top floor!" Leena croaked out and Gosalyn nodded.

"Yeah, whatever is behind this planned it out, we need to figure out to get away!" Gosalyn said before they heard a cry and saw a duck in a purple version of Negaduck's attire attack two of the renegade staffers.

"DARKWING DUCK!" A child yelled in joy as they saw the real-life version of their hero come to their rescue.

As Darkwing attack the thugs Webby saw Rupert and other guards trying to get people away from the melee as she and the others ran away. As Darkwing knocked out one of the thugs he suddenly jumped to the left as he felt something coming at him. When he heard the sounds of something breaking behind him to look to where it was and saw Negaduck himself walking out of the tent, a grin on his head as something rose higher and broke the tent in two, the thing revealed to be a large tower with an electrode at the top.

"So there you are you fake! I wondered if I had to give my demands before you got here, but this is better than I thought!" Negaduck growled and Darkwing looked at his one-time idol and frowned.

"You don't have to do this you know, you could stop," Darkwing said and he saw Negaduck look back at him and then he went red in the face and started to growl.

"SO I'M SUCH A FAILOR THAT YOU HAVE TO ASK THAT!? WELL GUESS WHAT HERE, THIS WAS STEP 1, HERE'S STEP 2!" Negaduck roared, and as the electrode behind him suddenly shot a bolt of energy straight up through the glass ceiling.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Darkwing demanded and Negaduck just laughed before he attacked Darkwing.

XXXXXXX

Outside the mall, Stella looked towards the mall from the other side of the parking lot and looked on in horror as a wall of energy suddenly covered the mall. She gazed at it in shock and horror as she scrambled for her phone when she heard police sirens, she turned her head and saw three police cars with two SWAT vans following behind them pulled into the parking lot.

As she ran towards the police Stella saw a tall adult female duck with green tan feathers and brown wavy hair dressed in a red shirt and black pants with a blue jacket over the red shirt and a badge on a necklace around her neck. As Stella reached the police the female duck started to bark out orders.

"I want a perimeter around this place yesterday! I want every exit covered and call the labcoats, I want a way in fast now. And who are you?" The woman asked as Stella reached her and breathed heavily as she caught her breath.

"Ma'am, I'm Stella. I work here and my husband, the head of the security, told me to get out here and call you if something happened…." Stella began and the officer smiled at her.

"Then you're the one who called in the tip then! I'm Officer Maria Cabrera, I want to know everything that happened here…" Maria began and Stella interrupted her as she shook her head.

"NO, no. I didn't call yet!" Stella said and Maria looked from her to the mall in shock, wondering who had called this in and how they knew what was happening within.

"Well, stay here and I want to know everything that you know about this!" Maria said and looked at the mall. I hope Fenton and that armor of his can get through that wall. And I hope it's not a death field or we'll going to have a lot of funerals in the future. She thought as she looked at the wall of energy as SWAY moved slowly towards the mall as other officers moved the civilians away.

XXXXXXX

Donald ran down the hallway towards, following the cameras that had been modified and he cursed as he recognized the look of the tech from his past. God damn it! Cook must have gotten a spore away and it hatched into a Scientist! But how could he have gotten control over it? I mean with how those things are and how they operate, if it was anyone….. it could be a survivor from the war. If that's true then they have to be using Cook to regenerate his hive's forces. I don't know how they generate spores but they can't have many supplies available if he's being forced to recreate the technology from scratch. Donald thought as he ran down the hallway. As he turned a corner he saw a glow from under a door ahead of him and speed up until he was next to it. He heard Kay's voice from within and brought out a mask he had slipped into a hidden pocket of his pants and pulled it over his face. "Uno, tell me this can measure radiation!"

"Yes old cape, it can! But we're lucky, barely more than a cell phone, but a flash might have been bad for anyone who was exposed." Uno said. Donald went still before he charged at the door broke through it.

XXXXXX

Inside the room Red Primrose tried to break free of the ropes holding her to the pillar, having seen a few of the thugs laughing at her and made comments about cooked food to not like any of what that suggested. After she heard the sounds of something rising upwards a bright flash of light had caused 22 to cry out and then go silent, she was worried that "Come on 22, don't tell me that the lights took you out!"

She looked around at the shadow cast by the light and tried to figure out what to do, the chains were holding her tight against the pillar. I don't know what that scum was trying to do, but I can't let him win! I have to hope that DD can stop him. And I really hope that this thing isn't how I go out! She thought as she tried to break free.

A crash caused her to look and her heart skipped a beat as she saw a masked form get up from the destroyed door. He flashed a few old code signals from the Group and she relaxed. "DD!"

As Donald moved towards her he went still for a moment before dashing towards her and pointed a watch at the ropes, a laser flashing from his watch and cutting the rope, shocking her. Where had he gotten that tech? She thought as he went towards Beakley as she looked around the room and saw a large pillar with three purple rectangular boxes standing upright. As he cut Beakley free Red Primrose saw the pillar release a pulse of light and the boxes slowly started to open, releasing smoke as Beakley fell into Donald's arm.

As Donald moved toward Red Primrose one of the boxes opened completely and a tall and bulky blue-skinned duck-like creature roared and charged at them. As she readied herself to fight Donald grabbed her and then she felt something weird as she, Beakley, and Donald disappeared, leaving the creature alone as two more came out of the other boxes before they all ran out the door towards the public part of the mall.

XXXXXXX

Moments later Red Primrose fell to the ground and gasped for breath as she felt a strange sense of vertigo as she barely kept herself awake. She looked down at the floor and frowned when she realized that they weren't in the room they had been in moments ago. She looked up from the metal floor and looked around, seeing strange and high-tech-looking devices all around her. She saw Donald putting Beakley into a glass chamber that closed before lights shined down on her.

"Uno, how is she?" She heard Donald ask and as she looked at him.

"I think that the last hour is gone old cape, it could have been a lot worse than just that. They have never used such technology before." A voice that sounded strange said as she got to her feet.

"Yeah… keep her out for now. Once this is done, we'll drop her back where we found her." Donald said and she saw his feet and frowned, something about the material of the floor was bothering her.

"You don't trust her?" The voice asked and Donald snorted.

"She's an old partner of my uncle, and I wouldn't trust him with half of what your tech could do," Donald said and Red Primrose fawned, was he saying that Agent 22 worked for his uncle and not FOWL; then she wasn't one of the brains behind it. But what was she doing at that base? And why did she disappear for all those years? She thought as she realized one of her last hopes was gone.

"Given what the dark web is saying about his company, I can understand." The voice said and Donald went still.

"It's what, no wait until tonight. For now, let's talk about the elephant in the room, where is he and why are you two back?" Donald asked and Red Primrose barely kept from moving.

"He'll be here within the next few days at most; he's taking it slow and trying to get the survivors back here slowly and quietly." The voice said and Donald moved towards the speaker and

"Survivors!? What happened to their planet?!" Donald demanded and Red Primrose was shocked at the worry in his voice. As she looked around she decided to speak up

"DD, what happened and where are we? How do you know this person and finally Planet?!" Red Primrose demanded and Donald looked at her and sighed.

"In order, we teleported, we're in Ducklair Tower and well remember when we helped the Duck Avenger…. Well, that was me we helped." Donald admitted as a green duck face appeared beside him. "And this is one of my best friends, Uno, an AI made by Everett Ducklair, an alien that crashed on this planet a long time ago."

"Wait, what? But how….time travel of course!" Red Primrose said as she looked around the room. An alien, one of the richest ducks on the planet was an alien? Gizmo would have loved to learn this. She thought as she looked at Donald who chuckled.

"Yeah, I wiped my memory of that once I made it back with Lyla, I didn't want to take any chances with messing up history," Donald said and shrugged at her look. "Time travel was part of my adventures as the Avenger for a while, long story. And Uno this is Kay K, AKA Red Primrose. I'll leave it until she trusts you with her real name."

"Nice to meet you, please call me Kay," Kay said and Uno looked at her and frowned a little.

"Charmed. So how'd you partner with an industrial spy Donald?" Uno asked as he looked at her and for a moment she was sure that if Donald didn't explain things fast she would be in a lot of trouble.

"I accidentally became a secret agent and we worked together for a while. And most of those times she did that the targets were companies that are the scum of the earth, just like her father." Donald said and Kay felt the feeling die away.

"Dad did do a few runs against your uncle though," Kay said and Donald shrugged.

"If it was during the Bradford years then I can understand that completely," Donald said bitterly.

"Who?" Uno asked and Donald scowled.

"Bradford Buzzard, a vulture who's the head of FOWL. The bastard is responsible for a lot of pain and suffering and I think he might be trying to kill my uncle for some reason. And the last week I've been going over every action that bastard took when he was the CFO while he worked for my Uncle Scrooge and I've already found hundreds of decisions that gave short-term profit and hurt a lot of people." Donald said and Uno frowned.

Kay gasped and looked at Donald in shock. The Group was sure that Agent 22 was involved with FOWL but if Donald was right, as she was sure he was then most of the data in the CD was wrong then. And if FOWL was stepping up their game then that was dangerous for them. The worst thing a spy could have was false information, and with FOWL stepping up their game they might become as bad as the Elected were.

"But we've got even more trouble, those things looked like an Evronian warrior!" Uno said and Donald nodded.

"Yeah, but it looked different than normal. They weren't as big as Trama but they still were bigger than normal and they were blue-skinned." Donald said and looked at Uno who sighed.

"Yes, and it was different from the ones that laid waste to Corona," Uno said and Donald gasped.

"What, Corona has been destroyed!? How?" Donald demanded and Kay looked on in fear, not liking what was being said.

"It was a nightmare, everything was normal when these robots started to attack anything that was in near space. After a few waves of attackers opened the way they started to bombard Corona from out of range of any defenses we had. And after a few days, Evronians with white skin and Cybernetics replacement limbs landed alongside robots and they started to destroy anything in sight, preferring to kill instead of capturing anyone. It was all we could do to get as many people off-planet as we could. And that was at most twenty percent of the population." Uno explained and Donald went still and shook his head in dismay as Kay gasped in horror.

"This is terrible, I can't believe this," Donald said and looked out the window towards the mall.

"Both the ones at the mall and the ones that destroyed Corona must be two different types of new warriors, but how could they have enough resources to even make one, let alone two. And why are they working with Cook? After Nebulia I didn't think they would do that." Uno said and Donald nodded.

"Or both are the forces of different hives," Donald said and they stared at him in confusion.

"What do you mean hive?" Uno asked and Donald looked at him in shock.

"Custodian never recorded the information and passed it to Everet?" Donald asked then he facepalmed. Of course, after discovering that he was taken over by those two we really should have talked about everything that happened! Donald thought bitterly and Uno frowned, having come to the same realization.

"What do you mean, I remember hearing about those things during the invasion but what are you talking about?" Kay asked and Donald sighed.

"The Evronians are a plant-based species, but they have the same habits that bees do, when they reach a certain mass number they split into two groups, each going separate ways through space away from each other," Donald explained and Uno looked at him in worry.

"This is bad, the Evronians we knew were a threat before, they destroyed entire worlds! If there are multiple groups of them out there, each with their own research, military strength, goals and methods then the galaxy might be in greater danger than I ever thought old cape." Uno said and Kay felt a spark of fear and worry as Donald nodded.

"And we have to figure out who is responsible for those things being there, but for now I need my suit," Donald said and Uno grinned and a chamber holding his costume and shield appeared.

"I made some modifications since I was activated three days. The shield's blaster now has a devolver added to it as well as the old functions. With the new mind link just think about changing the mode and it will happen within nanoseconds, the Triphibian was upgraded and I'll drop you next to it. Good luck old cape." Uno said and Donald grinned back, moving towards the chamber but stopping to look at Kay who stared at him in shock as she tried to figure out the mess that was time travel as she held her head.

"Kay, we'll talk about this later, for now, I have to do this," Donald said and Kay nodded and punching his shoulder before she kissed him on the beak. Donald just leaned into her before they broke apart and he looked at her as she hugged him and smiled.

"Good luck DD," Kay said as Donald got into the chamber and dropped downward.

"We'll be able to watch from here what happens," Uno said and Kay frowned as she sat down at a chair that Uno formed from the floor and looked out the windows.

Uno watched her and felt a little concerned as she just sighed. "What is it?"

"I was in Europe when the Evronians first invaded. I was scared and shocked, Aliens were real….. and now after everything, I learn that Donald and you fought them off and fought through time itself. I can't believe this, I mean he was an incredible secret agent, but this?" Kay said and Uno chuckled.

"We had allies who fought with us and Donald has always been a creative thinker and has a firm sense of justice," Uno said and Kay nodded.

"Yeah, he does," Kay said as she saw something fly up from the river head towards the Duckmall. "And I can always trust him."

Darkwing dodged as Negaduck attacked him using anything he could grab as a weapon. So far the security guards were holding their own against the thugs but like all battles, it could change in an instant if the wrong or right thing happened to either side.

"Keep trying to stand against me Darkwing fake! Soon my plan will be finished and then I'll have the last laugh!" Negaduck exclaimed and Darknwing knew that he had to find a way to get back on top of this or Negaduck was right.

"Not yet Jim! And you can stop this, you were a hero to millions!" Darkwing begged and Negaduck kept attacking. At least the civilians are away. Now I just have to handle this until I can get some help and we can help him. He thought as he looked around for any way to try and hold Negaduck off before a roar caused both of them to turn and see ten blue-skinned duck-like figures attacking anything that gets close to them!

As they watched one of them attacked a thug and held him until the thug's head suddenly froze over, leaving his eyes as two red dots within the ice. The one that held the thug suddenly released a glow and grew a foot taller and it roared at the others and they charged at the thugs as the security guards started to fire at them from the level above as the civilians on the floor started to run to the escalator, the guards taking who they could with them.

"Was this part of your plan!?" Darkwing demanded but one of the blue-skinned creatures roared and tried to get the both of them and as five more of the blue-skinned creatures roared charged at the thugs, guards and convention-goers.

As the screams echoed from below Leena finally started to breathe normally as the kids were all hiding within the department store they entered the mall, Tempest and the other guards had found the kids and other survivors and brought them to the department store moments before the energy shield had gone up, keeping all of them from leaving. As the shoppers hid as the guard protected them Violet brought out some chalk and started to make a circle on the ground by the doorway with Huey's help as Webby, Gosalyn and Dewey watched the other shoppers.

Louie meanwhile walked among the shoppers, making small talk and using his skills to keep spirits up. As he had just made a few kids younger than him laugh he saw Rupert and the last of the guards move between the civilians and the mall entrance and he slipped closer to them and frowned as he heard screams and roars through the barrier.

"What's happening out there…..where are the rest of the guards!?" Tempest demanded quietly and Rupert shook his head with a scowl.

"Trouble, that's what's out there! I saw Darkwing fight his yellow doppelganger when these blue-skinned bipeds attack everyone, us and the hostiles! And then I saw one of them grab somebody and then the guy's head was frozen over! I had the boys destroy the stairs but it's only a stop-gap, we have to buy as much time as we can and save them" Rupert asked and Louie cursed in his mind as he moved back towards his siblings and their friends.

Meanwhile, Violet looked at the circle and looked over her JWC guidebook, and nodded. Yes, this should work. If the shield is operating under electromagnet principles, then that ritual I found when I was in that city last summer….. if this works right then we'll be able to force a tunnel to form and block the energy… I can use most of my hand kit to handle it but I won't be able to keep it up long…. I'm last out, they are first out. She thought as she looked at her work and nodded.

"Any ideas V?" Leena asked as she moved towards Huey and Violet.

"Some, I think the shield is a type of electromagnet that's… oh. Good to see you're back up Leena." Violet said and Huey nodded and smiled at her.

"Yeah, really good. From what Violet said there might be a way to get through the forcefield, if we can find the frequency we'll be able to make a doorway." Huey said and Leena nodded and looked at Violet.

"So I need to power it right?" Leena asked and Violet shook her head.

"No, I have a potion I was working on and I have it on hand…. If I pour it out onto the circle I'll be able to hopefully make a way out for everyone." Violet said and looked around, a strange shiver going down her spine. As they talked amongst themselves they never noticed a figure in a black hoodie glaring at Violet and Leena with rage in his eyes, nor the dagger in his sleeves that he slowly brought out.

"Hey friend what are you doing?!" Louie asked suddenly and alerted the others to the strange figure, Leena noticing a pendent that slipped free and gasped in horror.

"Get him away from me!" Leena called out and backed away as Violet and Huey moved in front of her. The robbed figure growled and threw a vial at her, it broke on her and she cried out in pain as what seemed to be electricity went over her body.

"LEENA!" Huey called out in fear as Violet threw a potion at the figure but he slapped it away with his knife as people started to turn towards them.

"Move away from the ved'ma and I might let the alchemist live." The figure growled and Leena looked at him in horror. Louie tried to attack him but the figure grabbed Louie and threw him at Violet and Leena as Webby, Gosalyn and Dewey moved through the crowd towards their friends.

Outside Stella looked at the mall Stell looked at the and prayed that Rupert and all her friends were okay and looked at Maria as she barked orders and looked at the last few people trying to get away from the event. Stella was

"Don't worry, they'll be fine. So far we have no evidence that something is wrong in there, so far the only thing is that this thing is holding them in there

"How will we be able to get through…you don't know!? Contact Mcduck enterprises if you have to, I want to be within that mall within the next hour or I'll throw you into myself!" Maria barked and Stella looked at her in concern as she saw the look on Officer Cabrera's face.

But before she could speak up the sounds of rotors caused her to look up as Gizmoduck flew by, landed, and start firing at a position of the shield in front of the department store. After a few moments, he stopped and saw that his actions had only made a wave appear on the energy. As he looked at the wall they heard the sounds of a jet engine as something flew above the mall and fired a blast downward, the energy shield screeched as it poped.

As the people watched the strange black car-like vehicle hovers above the mall as a figure dropped down towards the mall, the figure was visible to all as they stared in shock. Stella was gasping at who she saw, she was sure he was dead or gone. "Duck Avenger."

Gismoduck looked up in awe before people suddenly came running out of the mall screaming, moving around him like a river around a stone.

Maria shook her head and started to bark orders into her radio. "All officers, get the civilians away! Once that happens I want SWAT to breach the mall and help anyone trying to help bring an end to this!"

Gismoduck charged into the mall and Maria smirked. Go get him boyo! She thought with a smirk before her radio activated.

"LT! This is Harry at the east exit, we've got three blue-skinned freaks charging at us! I don't know what they are but we just saw one of them freeze over a civilian's head and they're attacking us!" Maria looked at her radio and saw the other police officers look at her.

"You, call for reinforcements, all free police with me! This is Maria on all channels, all SWAT are to fall back and hold off anything that you can't identify their species! And you, stay here!" Maria said to Stella as she ran towards the east exit, ten officers following behind him.

As Leena watched the figure holding his knife glare at her as Violet and Huey protected her as Webby and Gosalyn moved to attack him with Louie and Dewey backing them up a screech caused everyone to turn and see the energy wall had fallen.

"The wall is gone!" Leena exclaimed and grinned as Violet looked down at her circle and frowned. I don't get it, my ritual didn't even start yet… what could have caused that to fail? She thought before Huey gasped.

"Oh, it's gone…move!" Huey yelled as he grabbed Violet and Leena and pulled them away, the others moving as well leaving the cloaked figure standing in front of the door all alone as he started to blink before a rumbling from behind caused him to turn and pale as all the people in the store ran at him. He fell to the floor and was trampled as they ran outside, the kids following behind Louie stepping on the figure's balls as he moved over his body.

As Tempest and Rupert saw the shoppers run away they fell back as they saw one of the blue Evronians charge towards them. As they fired their stun guns at the charging alien they fell back, one of the other guards bringing down a metal wall that the alien charged into, tearing away the metal before a blast sent it backwards away from them. Turning they saw Gizmoduck rolling towards them as he fired his arm blasters.

"Get out of here, the police are getting everyone they can out of this mess." Gizmoduck said moments before a flash of light caused the Evronian to gain ice gauntlets and roar as it tore apart the metal barrier and Gismoduck activated his gauntlets 'shock punch' and roared as he attacked the Evronianion.

Darkwing dodged a blow from one of the blue-skinned Evronians as they tried to get him. As he looked around the room he saw that all the remaining thugs had their heads frozen over and were moving towards the pillar. When one made it into ten feet of it the pillar released a flash and all the blue Evronians all roared and grew larger, the original had grown to ten feet and its hands had become encased in ice, turning into claws and it had gained a crown of ice on its brow.

Negaduck had escaped, leaving Darkwing to fight alone against the creatures and so far he was barely able to hold his own against them. His gas gun had proven worthless against the blue-skinned creatures and he had already lost his cape by a lucky shot from the crown-wearing one. That one was trouble, so far it had stayed back but it seemed to be directing the others, and it seemed to be sending the other 'Frozen heads' towards the pillar, and so far what these blue-skinned things had gained made him hope that if they kept the other Frozen Heads from it then they wouldn't make the problem worse.

Suddenly above them the skylight broke and a figure fell downwards, firing a laser from his right as he hit the floor, everyone looking at him as the blast hit one of the other Evronians and it shrank into a blue plant pod. Darkwing looked at the figure, he was dressed in a black bodysuit with a high-tech-looking shield that he had fired the blasts from, Darkwing swallowed as he realized who he was looking at.

"The Duck Avenger," Darkwing whispered in awe. The crowned Evronian looked at the Duck Avenger and gestured, the other Evronians charging at him. He three discs at three of the attackers and suddenly they were floating upwards as he fired at the charging Evronians, turning two more into blue pods but one dodged the blast moving closer and attacking the Duck Avenger. As he dodged the blows the other fired blasts from their claws that froze whatever they hit, but each shot missed him.

As the Duck Avenger fought against the closer Evronian he saw another of the frozen thugs make it closer to the pillar before a flash of light came from the pillar and then the Evronians all grew ice chest armor and charged at him on mass, with their leader staying back. He pointed his right arm upwards and his shield carried him away from his attackers and as he looked down he saw two more frozen thugs walk slowly towards the pillar and he understood just what was happening.

"DARKWING, KEEP THE FROZEN FACES FROM GETTING TO THE PILLAR, DO IT!" Duck Avenger bellowed as he fell towards the ground and fired from his shield and hit five of them, leaving only the last four and the crowned one looked at him as he landed.

"Got it Avenger!" Darkwing called out as he grabbed one of the frozen thugs before a roar caused him to dodge to the left and then one of the 'normal' Evronians grabbed the Frozen Face and threw it at the pillar, Darkwing watching in horror as the thug flew through the air.

But before the thrown thug could reach it a hand shot out and grabbed him, pulling him towards Gizmoduck on the upper level by the escalators with an Evronian in his other hand tied up! As he looked down he saw Darkwing Duck dodging another Evronian as the Duck Avenger dodged and 'fired' a punch from his shield at one of the Evronians who was sent backwards as the others attacked him.

"Gizmoduck, keep the Frozen thugs from the pillar!" Darkwing called out as he attacked the Evronian trying to get more of the Frozen Faces towards the Pillar as the Duck Avenger fired at the other Evronians only for them to hide behind overturned tables. As the heroes fought and tried to stop them all, the crown Evronian to throw another frozen thug and as the next flash came over them suddenly the five remaining Evronians clenched their hands and formed swords made of ice that they roared and attacked the Duck Avenger and Darkwing as the bound Evronian broke free and attacked Gizmoduck.

Gizmoduck drove backwards and a cannon came out of his right shoulder and fired a cannonball that the Evronian cut in two midflight! As Gizmoduck stared in shock it charged at him before he dodges the attack and speed backwards as the Evronian roared and followed him. This is insane! What could they be gaining from that pillar thing? And these things, what are they…what's the connection…..Science later, Hero now! Gizmoduck thought as he dodged and punched out with his left hand and broke the ice sword. He grinned before the Evronian dropped it and formed another sword and attacked with a roar.

Duck Avenger fought on, blocking shots and looking at the Frozen-Heads moving towards the pillar. No choice, I have to stop and keep those poor souls from powering up those things more! I just need to 'stop' them in their tracks! He thought as he aimed his shield and fired.

"NO!" Darkwing called out but was shocked when instead of turning into plants, the Frozen-Heads were all enveloped by a blue glow and they stopped still, not moving or breathing. Darkwing dodged a blow from the Evronian he had been fighting and smirked as he attacked his foe again, trying to get around to attack its head. As the Evronian formed a sword and slashed at Darkwing, he dodged to the side as above them on the upper-level Gizmoduck drove backwards as the Evronian he had captured formed a hammer and attacked him.

As the crowned Evronians formed an ax and attacked Duck Avenger the other three ran towards the frozen Frozen-heads and started to bang on the energy field holding them in place. As he blocked another blow with his shield he moved it upwards before he fired a fist from it that hit the crowned Evronian and spun it around, Duck Avenger fired a blast from his shield and the crowned Evronian roared as it turned into a blue plant pod.

As soon as their leader was down, the other Evronians all roared in fury and started to attack anything close with their claws or weapons, Duck Avenger making quick work of them, turning them into plant pods. Darkwing panted as the Duck Avenger went towards the pillar and fired a blast at it with his shield and the tower sparked before it fell stopped working as the Frozen-Heads just stood there and swayed.

Gizmoduck came from above on his helicopter helmet and looked around at them as he held the Evronian he had been fighting with one hand, the Evronian having its arms tied up by a bolo as he hovered down towards them with his helicopter helmet devolved.

"Drop it and I'll pod it." Duck Avenger said as he aimed his shield at the Evronian.

"Pod it…..WOAH!?" Gizmoduck exclaimed as Duck Avenger shot it with a beam from his shield and the Evronian devolved back into a pod as they watched.

"How….why? And what happened to them?" Gizmoduck stammered as Darkwing poked it.

"Yeah. What the heck are these things?" Darkwing asked as he looked at the pods as Gizmoduck looked at the Frozen-Heads.

Duck Avenger looked at the poor souls and wondered if the way they had to cure them would work on these new variants and he had to hope they could. He knew that Uno was working over every bit of information that he was

"These things are Evronian warriors. And the Evronians are alien plants that eat the emotions of sentient beings. And those are what happens to people when Evronians do their feeding thing on them." Duck Avenger said and Darkwing and Gizmoduck looked at each other before Gizmoduck went still as Duck Avenger put a hand to his right ear and frowned.

"No. Those things are trying to break out, they're going from three directions!" Gizmoduck said and Duck Avenger looked upwards as two guns dropped down. He handed guns out to both Darkwing and Gizmoduck as whistled to get their attention.

"Go to the other exits, I'll handle the east and work from the south to the west. These guns will freeze anyone they hit so line up the shots carefully!" Duck Avenger said as he levitated upwards as Darkwing ran towards the south as Gizmoduck rolled away towards the west, both of them worried about the people.

XXXXXX

Maria fired her pistol at one of Evronian as it moved closer to her, its claws holding a sword of ice in its right hand as its left hand reached towards her. All around her the police were doing what they could to handle the five creatures that came from the west exit and so far they had been holding them off before they suddenly gained the ability to fire ice and then formed weapons made of it, but luckily the civilians had gotten away.

She had seen one of the SWAT operative been grabbed by one of the monsters and his head had been frozen over. As the monster moved closer to her a roar from the mall as Gizmoduck rolled out firing from a pistol, each blast freezing the monster dead in their tracks as a blue glow enveloped them.

As she watched Gizmoduck moved rolled over to a downed officer and helped them up she smiled and came over. Fenton, you might not be a cop but you've inherited my man's sense of duty and how to use what you've got.

"Thank you Gizmoduck, so the inside is clear?" Maria asked and Gizmoduck nodded.

"The Avenger and Darkwing dealt with most of the trouble inside, we came to help

Huey moved in front of Violet as Gosalyn fired another arrow at the charging Evronian as it moved towards them. They had all gotten away and had run towards the Mansion when five of the things had charged out of the east exit, so far the kids were all safe but the monsters had made a wall that kept everyone who tried to escape from going that way. The kids had seen them turn ten people into Frozen-Heads and one of them was going towards them now, Leena had tried and failed to gather back her magic and as Violet tried and failed to destroy the ice wall and the brothers had tried to fight them off but it only laughed.

As Huey tensed as it reached for them a glow suddenly surrounded it and it roared as it shrank into a plant pod. As the other Evronian around them were hit and they were devolved into plant pods. They looked up and saw the Duck Avenger standing on the roof, his shield aimed downwards at them and his cape fluttering in the wind. Leena held up her phone and clicked, snapping a picture as Webby stared upwards in awe before he dodged away and ran towards the south exit, his shield pointing forward.

"That's the Duck Avenger, he's really real!" Huey said in awe as he looked at the Hero as he ran.

"And Uncle Donald was saved by the guy," Louie said his mind already going places to how he could profit from this.

"I wonder who else was real back then, what other legends are true?" Violet asked and Leena looked at her and smirked as she tried to gather her energy.

"The Terra firmians are, we met some of them a few months ago," Leena said and Violet looked at them all, her mouth dropped open in shock and wonder.

XXXXXX

Duck Avenger ran along the roof, happy that he had saved the kids but he was worried, he had figured out their tactics but they weren't anything like the ones that had destroyed Corona or the ones he was used to. They weren't bellowing a battle cry, they were like the half-beast ones he had fought once but what were they after, nothing was making sense to him. As he moved along the rooftop he fired at the bound aliens, Darkwing Duck running after him on the ground. As they made it to Gizmoduck he waved towards them before they heard a roar from within the mall and ten Frozen Heads charged out of the mall, the ice on their heads having started to melt and they ran at the police, the ground turning to ice as they ran.

As Gizmoduck fired at the charging Frozen Heads another three Evronians charged out of the mall as he hit the fifth Frozen Head, each of the Evronians moving fast on the ice, and one charged at Gizmoduck and jumped at him, wrapping its arms around him the alien forced Gizmoduck to the ground before he could fire, another of the Evronians grabbed the gun from the ground and firing at the frozen Evronians, releasing them. They were shocked for a few moments but then the five of them joined the other one and attacked everyone.

Darkwing and Avenger started to fire at them as the police joined in, Maria bellowing for her people to move back and keep the Frozen Heads from getting away. As Avenger gritted his teeth, he fired downward but the Evronians formed a wall with a covering and he knew if he broke it they would pull him down. Gizmoduck had actuated his helicopter helmet and had shot into the air, the Evronian holding him went wild as they flew higher and let go of Gizmoduck who dodged a bolt from the Evronian who stole the gun Avenger gave him. I let them get that gun, if it breaks into the mall and gets to somewhere it can fire at the other exits then we're in trouble! He thought as he

"What's wrong with them, their acting like they can think now, what's changed!?" Maria muttered as she fired her gun at the monsters as they all fought she spotted a glint by the mall. Looking towards it she saw one more Evronian with ice armor holding a metal staff looking at the battle, the other Evronians reacting to Gizmoduck and Darkwing but not Avenger….who the staff Evronian couldn't see.

Maria gasped as she realized and aimed at the staff Evronian, and fired a single shot at the Evronian's hand. It screeched as Maria's shot caused it to drop the staff and the other Evronians all roared like beasts, the one holding the gun it had stolen crushed it then it and the others all attacked anything in range around them, even each other. As the heroes and police stared in shock, not sure what was happening.

"THE STAFF, KEEP THE STAFF AWAY FROM THEM!" Maria roared as she fired at the Evronian who tried to pick the staff up. Gizmoduck fired at the Evronian as Darkwing fired on the other Evronians.

Avenger stood there, looking down at the battle from the roof, a strange feeling going through him. He stood there for a few moments but then everything crystallized in his mind, everything suddenly made sense.

"DARKWING, FREE THE POLICE! GIZMODUCK GET READY TO FIRE YOUR MISSILES!" Avenger barked and jumped down, seeing the Evronian that had held the staff more closely. It looked like a science caste Evronian, thin legs and long arms but it had two horns pointing backward and its skin was blue like the others and unlike the bodysuits the others were wearing it had on a golden robe and it formed a dagger in its other hand, the injured one bleeding and black blood flowing from the wound that was freezing over the ground it fell on.

"So are you able to talk mind taker?" Avenger demanded as the Evronian got back to its feet.

"Yessssss." The Evronian rasped as it stood up and looked at Avenger who glared back. "So you live Avenger, we know of your work against our cousinssss. You will not find us as easy prey as those cowardssss."

"They fought hard, and they knew when to stop wasting resources. Your kind will find earth a tough nut to crack, even if you have tricks we haven't seen before." Donald said and the Evronian laughed.

"My limbs will bring me victory, I always dooooo in the end." The Evronian rasped and Avenger stared at it, his mind going strange places before he attacked with a left cross as the Evronian countered with its dagger, Avenger blocked the blow with his shield and fired a devolver blast that turned it back into a pod. Looking down at the staff he fired a force blast from his shield and destroyed it, a white gemstone falling free and broken in two.

With the other Evronians they all suddenly roared in pain, shocking everyone before blasts from the mall turned them all into plant pods.

Maria looked around, seeing her people were gathering themselves and helping those who were injured.

"Okay, I want everybody still able to move to go into the mall and to get survivors out now! The medics should be here in moments and the press will be after them so remember, say nothing at all! And everybody injured go and keep the crowds back!" Maria barked as the heroes gathered around Avenger as he came out, a piece of the gemstone in his hands.

Darkwing looked at Gizmoduck and they both nodded at each other.

"Sorry about the gun Avenger," Gizmoduck said and Avenger shook his head.

"My friend has a lot more of them, and people matter more than equipment," Avenger said as he looked at the crystal in his hand before he looked at the other two.

"You both did great for your first Evronian encounter. And I'll take that back Darkwing." Avenger said as Darkwing handed over the gun.

"Thanks, sir," Darkwing said and Gizmoduck smiled before Avenger's next words caused them to look at each other.

"But I would get away now, you don't want a reporter that sure to come here to get an inch with you," Avenger said before Darkwing gulped and ran into the mall, Gimzoduck rolled away to help clean up some of the damage before leaving.

Maria was helping one of the other SWAT officers who had twisted his leg in the fighting when they heard the sounds of Avenger's machine hover closer to them. She looked up to see Avenger looking at her and smirking.

"HEY! Tell Agent Marry Ann Flagstarr that their back and I'll be in touch to try and cure those people like the Cold Flames! And good job!" Avenger said his vehicle, a sleek car-sized craft hovered overhead and he shot upwards and into it before it flew away, cloaking as it left the area. Duck Avenger smirked and looked down at Uno's face as it appeared on the craft's monitor.

"Well done old Cape and I sent a message to Agent Flagstarr about what happened, her bosses tried to trace it back to me but I sent them to the building that housed the company that sent the thugs, with luck she'll find something," Uno said and Duck Avenger nodded as he took off his mask.

"Tell me Beakley's ready to go and okay, please," Donald said softly as he leaned back and looked at the ceiling, seeing the outside from sensors in the machine's body. As he flew over Duckberg they speed over the Beagleboy's Junkyard and Ma Beagle looked up and the others cried out in shock, the Duck Avenger having fought with them and against them during the 'Gang Warfare Duckberg' period of the cities recent history. As the Triphibian flew towards the bay two helicopters took flight and flew after it, both of them moving faster than most commercial models.

"She's already gone, Miss Kay left with her after I gave the all-clear, I'm sending the Triphibian to the deep sea entrance, and I'm….." Uno said as Donald felt a strange sensation and he appeared back in the Ducklair Tower moments later.

"Bringing you back here so I can send you back to the Duckmall old cape," Uno said and Donald shook himself and found where he put his clothes and smiled.

"Thanks, Uno, you'll be able to pilot the Triphibian and keep away from everyone?" Donald asked as he started to change.

"Don't doubt me old cape," Uno said with a grin as Donald nodded. "Unless something happens that's completely out of our control or we can think of, we'll be fine."

"Good, when you get in touch with Everett tell him I'll help him with whatever I can, but I'm in crisis mode myself and I've got a job," Donald said as he changed. The others devoured emotional energy, these things have to take mental energy so are their skin colors affected by what they eat? He thought as he pulled his shirt over his head.

"The Spy-work my friend, how'd that happen?" Uno asked and Donald laughed a little.

"Long story, I'll tell you tonight. And tell E that the blue ones eat mental energy, not emotional, at least I think so." Donald said as he finished changing and Uno nodded.

"Got it, teleporting back to where I got you from at the mall in 3…..2….1," Uno said as Donald was sent away.

The Triphibian flew ahead of the two helicopters as a fighter with the Glomgold corporation logo flew after it before it plunged into the sea. As the helicopters hovered and the fighter flew in a circle underwater the Triphibian dove deeper until it was out of range of any modern sensors then it shot south. As it moved through the water towards the gate it shot down an opening in the seafloor. Uno never noticed a figure without diving gear on a giant seahorse had been watching from within a bed of seaweed. A few moments later the figure rode the giant seahorse towards the crack in the ocean floor before their mount carried them away, out into the open ocean.

As Beakley woke up she felt someone was shaking her. As she looked up she saw Donald with his shirt torn in a few places and looked out of breath.

"Ms. B, are you okay?" Donald asked as he helped her up. She nodded and looked around, taking a step and almost falling if Donald hadn't caught her.

"Donald…. I was fighting with a spy and then…" Beakley said and Donald nodded.

"Then whatever happened here happened. I saw a few blue-skinned freaks coming this way and I hid away and let them pass, got in a fight with one of the scums responsible for this but he ran away and I found you here. Come on I heard people coming out of hiding back there." Donald said as he led the way out of the room. As they walked down the hallway and saw paramedics moving around, some of them trying to move people with frozen over heads towards the exits when one of them saw Donald leading Beakley out of the hallway.

"Hey, what's this?" He demanded and Donald nodded.

"Hey, she was captured by the thugs that attacked before those blue things did, I found her. You need to look her over, and you're not driving home!" Donald told her and Beakley looked back at him and nodded.

"Call Launchpad," Beakley said as Donald nodded as he watched Beakley being led towards an aid station.

XXXXXXXX

"…Got it Launchpad, we'll see you soon," Donald said as he walked out of the mall and smirked at the organized chaos.

Donald looked around as both police and paramedics rushed and helped people or pulled the Frozen Heads towards waiting vans under guard and chained up. He looked up and smirked as he saw Gizmoduck fly away saluting the police as he left, Darkwing Duck had left after Duck Avenger had and he saw Drake being hugged by his ward with Donald's kids around him and knew that his friend was okay.

As he looked down at his new watch he smirked, glad that Uno was back but worried about what and who had destroyed Corona. While he had hated Everett for the first few months when he had come back the first time, he understood just why he did what he did, anything and everything for family.

"You did get everything finished right Uno?" Donald subvocalized and Uno's face appeared to his right.

"Yes…. Oh, I almost forgot I gave Kay a watch like yours and I scanned the machines they used, I don't understand any of it but I'll keep at it old cape… but the pillar is a bit…..worrying. It must have been sending another type of energy to the warrior strain, but how it caused them to grow I have no idea. I'll send a message to my master tonight about everything; he has a few plans to set up a colony on the dark side of the Moon." Uno said and Donald smirked.

"Tell him to stay off the Moon, it's inhabited by natives," Donald said and Uno blinked before he found the data and nodded.

"I will old cape, we'll talk later," Uno said as his head disappeared from Donald's view.

He saw Kay across the parking lot and she flashed her new watch and smiled, she might be a little mad for their 'double' adventure but he trusted her to watch his back on anything that might happen. This is going to be very bad, two new hives of Evronians in the local space, it was bad enough with one but two more? And the hive I knew best might come back with the way my luck is going…. And the last thing I need now are time criminals attacking Uncle Scrooge's bin… and I need to tell Kay not to let Lyla know about Uno. He thought as he looked around the parking lot and cursed as a news van pulled up and he looked down at his phone as it beeped.

Reading the text from Miss Beakley he sent off another message to an old friend of his and got a reply a second later, smiling as he read it and moved away towards the place Beakley's had said for everyone to meet at. As he walked past an ambiance he moved through the crowd towards them when he heard someone he hoped he wouldn't see again.

"The Duck Avenger was here?! And we finally have footage?!" As soon as he heard the voice Donald looked down and away as a Kiwi in a trench coat rushed past him with a dog in a black uniform with a camera on his head. As Donald looked at the Kiwi he shook his head and smirked as the bird looked at the Camera Head.

"This is Angus Fangus, coming to you live from Duckmall! After years of being gone, the criminal Duck Avenger has returned to wreak havoc on our fair city! And those aliens attacked our great city attacked while a masked lunatic tried to take a Darkwing Duck convention hostage while the maniac that's trying to make the cartoon real appeared, is there a connection between him and the so-called Avenger?" Angus asked as he looked at the camera.

As he smirked he heard Argus start talking as he slipped away, happy in some way that his old 'friend' was still the same as he always was.

As he walked through the people he saw that Stella was hugging Rupert as a medic was looking over him, farther beyond them Tempest was looking at a few of the Frozen Faces with a somber look about her, and seeing the uniforms for Duckmall security he understood why. Lyro was moving towards the bus stop and waved to Donald as he walked, his backpack on and the way he was moving reassured Donald that his friend was okay, and all in all a good comeback for the Duck Avenger.

As he reached the group he saw Drake looking at a car that was frozen over and winced.

"Your's Drake?" Donald asked and everyone turned to him.

"Uncle Donald, where were you?" Huey asked and Dewey shrugged.

"I thought he might have gotten caught by those things," Dewey said bluntly and Donald looked at him, seeing the look of worry in his eyes and he forced down a smile, his kids.

"No, I saw that something was wrong and I looked into it, then I found Ms. Beakley knocked out down below, how did you get there anyway?" Donald asked as Beakley came over and Webby rushed her, looking up at her as she hugged her guardian.

"Granny! What happened to you?" Webby asked as Beakley looked away.

"I don't know, I was tracking a…. a threat and then there's a blank space in my mind until Donald found me," Beakley said and the kids looked at each other in worry.

"So Drake, you've got a way home right?" Donald asked and Drake shook his head.

"No, I guess we'll find a hotel or something," Drake said as he looked at his daughter and winced.

"Baloney, come on. You can bunk in my house bot at the mansion tonight if Scrooge doesn't have a room you two can use." Donald said bluntly as Launchpad pulled up by them, pulled up by crashing nearby. Donald turned his head and saw Argus looking at him like he hadn't seen him before and winced.

"WAIT, DONALD!?" Argus called out as he saw him. He watched as Argus tried to barreling towards them and Donald winced.

"Time to go everyone, hurt women first!" Donald barked as he opened the limo doors and he quickly got everyone into the limo fast. "DRIVE LAUNCHPAD!"

"YES SIR MY BOSS'S NEPHEW!" Launchpad said as he drove away.

The limo peeled out of the parking lot moments before Argus reached where they had been. As Argus looked at the limo he wondered how Donald of all people rated a limo, and where it had come from.

XXXXX

"Alien invasion, again?!" A buzzard in a black suit, pants, and a tie said flatly as he shook his head and looked at the duck in a yellow bodysuit with a white egg helmet on who nodded at him.

"Yes Commander Bradford, it was Duckburg again, the Duckmall to be precise." The FOWL operative said and Bradford growled back. They were in a room with a round table, Bradford was at the head and scowled at the Eggman who wilted as he stood there.

"Is there anything else I can do sir?" The Egghead asked and Bradford looked at him and waved him off, the Eggman leaving the room, Bradford turning to stare at a monitor.

"Aliens, good sanity. What next?" Bradford asked and looked at the screen as he fumed. And the Duck Avenger is alive, I wonder what caused him to come out of retirement? I always hoped he was dead, that the age of the so-called heroes was finally gone….. and with that one back and the few ripples the Ducklair foundation has been making lately I know that something is going to happen sooner or later from those people. He thought as he looked at the screen and thought about the Ducklair Foundation.

While he was Scrooge's CFO, he had tried for years to get any kind of in with the Foundation but they ran a tighter ship than FOWL. When the original owner had disappeared he had tried to move in but the company had closed ranks and even now they were still practically a 'black box', everything went in and nothing came out. He had sent some of his agents to take a look at Ducklair Tower and Phantom Blott had said that the tower was a mystical prison of some kind, he had also said that he had broken a barrier like it once and he had almost died when what was within had been released. But the technology he had made, if that one was a magic-user he must either be the Leonardo Da Vinci of magic because that was the only way he could be both a science and magic master or he had a twin brother who was the master of magic.

"Still he came out of nowhere, and that might not even be his name," Bradford muttered as he thought about the report he had about Everett and where he had come from.

"Boss, what is this? I mean, an alien invasion in Duckberg? Really?!" An arrogant voice demanded from the door caused him to turn and see a rooster with a steel beak in a white suit walk in with a heron in a red dress and white knee-high boots with a robotic right arm. He nodded as they sat down and called up a screenshot of the Avenger fighting the Blue aliens.

"The Avenger is back too!? I guess our project has another target." The heroin said and Bradford nodded. The steel-beaked rooster looked from one to another before shrugging.

"Still it's not like Double Duck is after us, that's one dude I so don't want after us! Her or the Death." The rooster said with a boastful tone as he shuddered. "I mean I'm good, but those two? Them and Primrose, that's something else."

"Steelbeak, we've been over this, Double Duck isn't a factor. His time in the Agency and the fact that his BIO showed it was many agents who used the same codename to confuse the Origination." The heron said with a scoff and Steelbeak glared at her.

"I'm telling ya Heron, he's one duck!" Steelbeak growled and Bradford sighed and shook his head as he turned to look at the monitor.

"Enough, we can argue about that one later, for now, let's talk about more pressing concerns. With an invasion after so long, what do you expect the world to do Heron?" Bradford asked and Steelbeak frowned and rubbed his head.

"Whoever's heading up SHUSH will probably send agents to look into the mall to see it has anything that the things we're after, I would. And then try and figure out who was responsible and where they are to talk to them." Heron said and Bradford nodded.

"My thoughts exactly. I wonder, was it even the work of a single group, or was it the work of multiple groups colliding?" Bradford mused and Heron nodded and looked

"Hey, that's what those things look like, weren't they purple last time or something?" Steelbeak asked bluntly. Bradford blinked and looked from Steelbeak to the wall before shaking his head as Heron's mouth dropped open in shock.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU GET THAT!?" Bradford demanded and Heron only looked at the screen as Steelbeak leaned back and grinned before he fell off his chair. Bradford facepalmed and Heron stared at him in shock and after he pulled himself back up he grinned and looked around the room.

"So I'm the smart one then? So then what do we do now boss? If an invasion's happening wouldn't mother earth need everyone who can fight like the moon invasion?" Steelbeak asked and Bradford looked at him with a scowl.

"And your point?" Bradford asked frostily and Steelbeak shrugged.

"Just that taking control of the planet might let the invaders win, so do we slow down the plan?" Steelbeak asked and Bradford looked at him as Heron grinned.

"I'll think about it. Go and see if our informants have anything for us." Bradford ordered and Steelbeak nodded and walked away. As soon as he left the room Heron started to laugh as Bradford looked at her in anger.

"Must you Heron?" Bradford asked as she got herself back under control.

"Oh yes, I must! Its proper super-villainy to fool your minions and the take over the world plan to use science to force it to follow the proper path is totally a good snow job!" Heron said and Bradford looked at her with a scowl.

"Keeping the truth about the plan isn't villainy, it's information control. If the rest of the organization knew what we were really planning then they wouldn't understand!" Bradford said as he looked at the screen.

Heron nodded and chuckled, Bradford just shook his head as he looked at her. After all, I don't want you to know you'll be the first in the fire when it's ready to light up. Still, I can't believe after all you're talking about the ways of Villinary you're not even thinking about a double-cross from me. Bradford thought as he looked at Heron.

"Still Bradford, perhaps we should change the plan, or at least delay it. The work on the circuit, I know it's possible but the theory isn't easy to make a reality. So far I've been unable to find what we're after." Heron said and Bradford nodded.

"And the key item is still out of reach… and is our mystic expert still unsure about the boys?" Bradford asked and Heron nodded.

"They might have worked, but the Spear puts that in doubt," Heron said and Bradford grimaced.

It seemed that his actions with Della have come back to bite him, and with their created heir and the gene source out of reach, they were still out of reach for his master plan. And I need it soon, I doubt I have enough years to last until the other way to get one, and how we would get what we'd need for that….to impossible. He thought as Heron chuckled.

"Don't worry Bradford, I'm looking around for another way for us to find it, looking at the laws it's operating under. I might have an idea on how to find a way around it, but I need time to finish some research and track down a few scrolls from the library. I might have something in a few months at worst, a week if I can find them sooner." Heron said with a shrug.

Bradford smirked, if that was possible then his life's work could be finished that much sooner. All that was needed was for the circuit to work as he wanted it to, to have the item he wanted and then to find what they needed from it and finally, finally the world would be as it should be.

XXXXXX

"Wonderful, keep working on it Heron. We need that item!" Bradford's voice came from an earbud as Steelbeak walked through the complex, a smirk on his namesake as he forced down a chuckle. Buzzard geezer and the oldest honey trap really have to stop thinking I'm just a pretty face! I was in the spy game long before I joined these mooks! And they still haven't noticed that I'm slowly but surely winning over the loyalty of the rank and file. All I need to do is keep up my act, and within a few more weeks I'll be running this show! Double Duck, when I see you again I'll finally win! He thought as he finally started to laugh.

In a dark office, a fat figure sat behind a desk and snarled as he saw Angus reporting on the attack and turned off the TV.

"So it failed then Cook." A voice from a small organic-looking machine on the desk caused the fat figure to look down at it.

"Yes but we learned that the Avenger is still around. He was trouble even for me, not counting how he drove your cousins off, and we only lost a few warriors that we would have lost anyway once the army rolled in." Cook said and the device stayed silent and Cook started to sweat and stare down at the machine.

"Move to the secondary plan, prepare to set up multiple Enhancement towers and both Berserkers and Soldiers, twenty groups; attack the city." The voice said and Cook swallowed.

"That's more than what we have on hands sir, we'll need time to grow more of them and I'll need to find a way to transport them all. And I'll need to find places to put them all for the most damage." Cook said and the voice huffed.

"I know, I will transport the differences to you, and a single Windigo." The voice said and Cook's mouth dropped open.

"A Windigo?! But sir, those need….twenty groups should gather enough people to drain…..but then that means I'll need to plan for that too…..it's possible sir but I need time to plan everything out." Cook said and he heard a chuckle.

"I know. I expect you to have a plan to gather the proper amounts of food for them all to grow to their final forms soon." The voice said and Cook nodded, he was about to say something when the light on the machine went out.

Cook looked down at the machine before scowling and flinging everything off his desk as he stood up. "Blasted Aliens! If I didn't expect to be able to rule this rock I would have taken weed killer to their whole fields!"

Cook leaned back and lit a cigar, taking deep puffs of it as he thought about what he was doing in Duckberg. With that idiot Jim hopefully dead or Frozen over I can put a final checkmark on our relationship! After everything that happened, I had lost all hope that I would get anything back from him after the show was canceled. Still, I can only hope that Argus will be one of the harvest, then I can charge and take that mountain, and then with what my lab rats are doing, I'll be able to turn the tables on these freaks! He thought as he leaned back and thought about everything that he had to do to survive and eventually take over the world.

In the sewers under the street by the mall, a figure peered out from a storm drain as the police moved about, a scowl on his beak. "So my old college brother double-crossed me, well at least I've used him to see just who is who in the underworld! I've gathered a few people here and there who also hate this city, never mind Saint! And with these things, I know a scientist who will love to take them apart to see what makes them tick, thanks ever so much for doing the dirty work for me hero!"

The light shined down to reveal Negaduck, holding in his hand an Evronian pod and he looked at it and wondered just what mayhem he could cause with it.

"You might have won this time Imposter, but I will have the last laugh, in the end, you can't keep a good star down!" Negaduck said before he laughed madly as he walked away under the street.
