Negaduck slammed his palms on the desk and all four of his cronies jumped in fear. "I didn't think you worthless knobs could screw up a simple bank heist!" He rose up and leaned over the desk, growling, "How wrong I was."

"Come on, boss," twitched Megavolt. "How were we supposed to know he'd have a new friend?"

"He threw a wrench in the work, jerk," squeaked Mr. Banana Brain, though the voice came from Quackerjack.

Negaduck snarled, his masked eyes filled with murder. "What was that, Quackerjack?"

Bushroot covered the doll's mouth with his leafy hand and flashed a nervous grin at Negaduck. "Uh, n-nothing, Negaduck, sir! I didn't hear a doll!"

"9/10 specialists recommend you clean your ears because I definitely heard the doll clearly!" gurgled the Liquidator.

The other three glared at their slippery associate. "…what?"

Negaduck jumped onto his desk and revved his chainsaw, his temper flaring. "If you four dolts don't get outta my sight right now, I'll make sure none of you can say anything AGAIN!" he roared.

They all screamed in horror as the chainsaw revved to life, each one making a mad dash toward the entrance to the warehouse.

Negaduck switched off the chainsaw once they were out of sight and tossed it onto the ground. He muttered and grumbled to himself as he jumped down and grabbed a blueprint to mull over.

It was hard being Public Enemy Number One. The least he could ask for was some competent lackeys.

This robbery plan was supposed to go swimmingly, but no! Darkwing Duck, disgusting do-gooder had to interfere.

To add insult to the injury pie, he wasn't alone. Fighting alongside the purple-clad hero was a shorter duck in a dumb jumpsuit and dorky blue sailor's hat. What was more laughable was his name: Duck Avenger.

Just thinking about that smug idiot ground his gears, and he crumpled the formerly pristine blueprint in his fists. "Rotten, little pipsqueak!" he spat, casting the blueprint aside.

He needed to get a grip. His genius plan making skills would not kick in like this. He stomped back to his desk and settled back in the leather chair, mulling over the perfect way to get back at that Duckburgian drek.

Outside of the warehouse, unbeknownst to the malice-loving duck, a set of glowing eyes were nestled in a nearby bush, looking in through a crack in the steel plating.

They turned to their associate. "What do the readings say, Kursaal?"

"They're incredible, Commander Zargon. He is exactly what we have been looking for."

"Yes," murmured Zargon, peering through the crack once again. "The anger is delicious…"

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Man, it's been a wild ride putting this story together. I started just before moving into my college apartment for my first semester at Texas State, and it took me all semester to write this. It's easily been the most ambitious writing project I've ever undertaken.

I wanna thank my good friend RebellingStagnation for editing this story for me. Believe me when I say that her feedback and suggestions made this twice the story it was by myself. I am very grateful for her hard work. Check out her Darkwing Duck fanfic series, Geronimo!

I also want to thank my friends in the Darkwing Duck and PKNA fandoms for their support. In particular, RubberSoles19, and winterpower98 and pkondrugs on Tumblr. I'm so glad you've enjoyed this story. Your nice comments make it all worthwhile. Also over 400+ hits? Thanks a bunch, y'all. I really appreciate it.

So what's next, some of you might be asking. Well, I'm gonna try and take a break from writing for a bit. Writing a story this length took a lot out of me. And I've got a busy semester ahead of me as I'm taking classes as well as working at the school's radio station. But trust me when I say that I'll be back. I'll update From the City of St. Canard when I feel inspired. I've also got an idea for a Ratatouille short story that I'd like to put out there. And yes, I have a sequel to Diabolical Meets Dangerous in the planning phase. I can't say too much since things can (and probably will) change, but my ideas are centered around One. And him possibly gaining a body.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you around!
