As Launchpad flew the TQ, Darkwing pressed a button which caused a megaphone to come out from the top of the plane. He picked up a microphone and began speaking.
Attention, citizens. If you have ransom letters, please follw this aircraft. Repeat, if you have ransom letters, please follow this aircraft.
All those who had ransom letters did as they were told and followed the TQ.
They were led to Darkwing Tower. Gosalyn was already there and she was shocked to see how many people were the parents of kidnap victims. Not only that. These people knew about Darkwing Tower.
"Dad, why'd you bring them here?!" she whispered to her father.
"Relax. I'm here to help them" Darkwing whispered back.
"What is this place?" asked a young man.
"Citizens, welcome to Darkwing Tower" Darkwing amnnounced. "Now I have called you all here because as we all know, your kids have been kidnapped by that dirty villain, Negaduck".
As he was talking, someone quietly stuck their hand through the window where Gosalyn was standing. He covered her mouth so she couldn't scream. Who was this someone? Negaduck of course. His plan had worked. He had kidnapped Gosalyn.
Darkwing didn't realize his daughter was gone until he turned around. "Has anyone seen a little girl with red hair and pigtails? She was here just a minute ago" he said.
Launchpad came running with a piece of paper in his hand. "Maybe this will answer your question" he said.
The paper said:
If you ever want to see your child again, give me $1,000,000,000 and respect or the child wil drown.
Darkwing crumbled the paper angrily. "Negaduck" he growled.
"Our letters said the same thing. How're we going to get one million dollars?" asked an elderly woman.
Darkwing turned to the citizens. "We're not going to. We can out number Negaduck. He's just one person. Everyone to the TQ" he said.
Negaduck threw Gosalyn in a cage filled with kids about her age and laughed. "I finally got Darkwing's sweet, little helper" he said.
"Well, lucky you. But face it Negaduck, you're outnumbered" Gosalyn said.
Negaduck laughed an evil laugh. "Yeah right. By who, a bunch of kids screaming for their mommies and daddies? Oooh, I'm so scared". he said.
"Well you should be" said a voice. Negaduck turned around. Darkwing was standing there with Launchpad and the citizens.
"Hand over the kids" Darkwing ordered.
"The loot?" Negaduck held out his hand.
"We're not paying you for our kids" said young woman.
"Have it your way" Negaduck shrugged.
The villain's crew loaded the cages onto a truck and Negaduck took off seconds after. Darkwing followed on the Ratcatcher while Launchpad and the citizens followed in the TQ.
Negaduck stopped by the bridge and was getting ready to drop the first load of kids into the water.
"Negaduck, wait! We'll settle this a different way" Darkwing said driving up to him on the Ratcatcher.
"OK" Negaduck put down the cage.
"Why don't you see if the water's safe? Just for the sake of the kids? You never know if they could be shrk infested" Darkwing said.
Negaduck peered off the bridge while Darkwing quietly slipped the keys to the cages out of the villain's pocket.
"Not to worry. It's perfectly safe" Negaduck lied.
"Well, jump in and see" Darkwing said. He was hiding the keys behind his back.
Negaduck had no idea he was being tricked and jumped off the bridge. In the water, a shark stuck it's head out and opened it jaws. Negaduck screamed and, like any dumb villian would do, tried to stop his fall.
From the top of the bridge, Darkwing heard the splash and smiled. He let the kids out of their cages. Launchpad landed the TQ and parents rushed out. Their kids ran into their arms. Some were crying. Darkwing hugged Gosalyn tight. Now that Negaduck was gone, they would never have to deal with him again...
would they?
