"Dad, when did you come home yesterday?"
Darkwing felt a pain in his ribs. He opened his eyes Gosalyn had jumped on him as he was, still in costume, lying in his bed.
"Didn't I tell you not to wake me up, and certainly not like this."
"But dad you have to bring me to school."
"Can't LP take you?"
"No, he left this morning early, a sick aunt in Duckelburg." Gosalyn explain sitting on his lap as he sat up.
"Can't the Muddelfoots give you lift?" he asked getting out of bed.
"Honker is sick, so they have to stay home and wait for the doctor to come...so no. But when did you get home Drake?" she said almost on a motherly way.
'What was wrong whit the city, everything felt so off' Darkwing thought. "Late!" he said as he came back out of the bathroom as his alter ego Drake.
"So of to school then..." he started when the miniature TunderQuack came flying towards him. Drake quickly took his mask out of his pocket and putted it on so he could take this call, although he would rather not.
"Darkwing you are suppose to be available at ever time." Grizlicoff groaned.
"I picked up, didn't I!" Darkwing said getting angry. "What do you want?"
"I need you at S.H.U.S.H. immediately. We have a case!" Grizlicoff groand as his usual bad mooded self.
"But I'm busy right now, your case will have to wait." Darkwing said as he was about to hang up on him.
"As you want Darkwing, if you're not here in 15 minutes I'll do it alone but then you're not welcome later either. And don't think I like this way of cooperating with you. If it wasn't that it was part of the orders I received of Gander I would probably arrest you when I would see you." He groaned and that was the end of their charming little conversation.
"Is he always that kind of sunshine" Gos commented when Darkwing hooked up the TunderQuak mini.
"Hon…" he started towards Gosalyn.
"Don't bother dad. I know what is coming next. You have to go because the city needs you and I can't come along because, I'm too young and it's dangerous…. " She said bothered.
Darkwing picked her up "Indeed, and you know why right?" he said as he gave her a tight hug.
"Because I have to go to school.." she suggested.
"No, because you're not worth the risk! I love you Gos, I would never forgive myself if one of those villains would ever hurt you." Darkwing said as he looked his daughter in the eyes.
"I know dad.." she whispered. "But the same counts for me!" she said as he placed her on the ground.
"Don't worry about me champ.. They won't take me down just like that." He said as he rushed back in his costume. "Now go to school and be careful." He said and went to the spinning chairs.
"Yes dad..." Gosalyn said weakly before the chairs spinned. Something was going on. Darkwing was hiding something for her. Something was bothering him she could tell. But what, and why didn't he want to tell her? He wouldn't be able to keep it secret for her, she would make sure of that.
----
"So what's the case?" Darkwing asked as he popped up in the S.H.U.S.H. headquarters.
"So you did show up? What about your occupations?" Grizlicoff said moody.
"They took care of themselves!" Darkwing said short. "So what are the problems?"
"The fearsome five are causing troubles in the city."
"I propose we ask the help of the Justice Ducks." Darkwing proposed. Before Darkwing was a loner, but after a fight with the five Darkwing learned that ask help wasn't that bad. Of course not hole the time but sometimes when cases were hard or when he was out numbered. Beside it was less humilaiting to ask a bit help then to be defaeted.
"No!" Grizlicoff said shortly "I don't want their help."
"But…"
"No buts darkwing, we go now. You have a motorcicle, don't you?"
"Eeurh, yes"
"I'll ride along with you and my agents will follow"
"But if you can take your team along why can't I?" Darkwing said eyeing Grizlicoff suspicious.
"Because your team isn't available now!" he groaned getting on his nerves.
"What?" Darkwing said shock "And how would you know?"
"This morning it was on the radio that Gizmo duck had a little accident and that he's in the hospital for the coming days" Grizlicoff answer impatiant.
Darkwing doubted for a moment but then decided he would investigate this later, right now he had to stop the five.
"Let's get dangerous!" he said
----
"Turn left here." A voice yelled "Damn, if we lose them it's your fold!" Grizlicoff yelled angry toward Darkwing
"And if we crash it's yours so would you jus sit still for one god damn mint!" he yelled annoyed. They were hot on the trail of the five. And now they were in the middle of a pursuit. The Ratchacher raced true the streets. Grizlicoff highly annoyed Darkwing, how could he possibly drive when he had that big brute yelling in his ears to turn left when actually he mend right.
"There, they went into that building"
Darkwing neatly slipped the Ratchatcher at the side of the building and jumped out running towards the building followed by Grizlicoff who was a bit slower. 'Man that guy is a real pain in the ass' this was the only thing he could think off right now. He entered the building and could just see the end of QuakerJacks mask at the stairway. He ran after it. And hold still for a minute to see if Grizlicoff was still following. 'That called himself a top agent he couldn't even catch up with the villains.' Darkwing raced up the stairs following the noise of the bells of QuakerJack and sometimes the sound of an argument with Megavolt wile they were running from him. He was on the 66 floor by now, when he passed a closed where he though he heard some noise coming from. He carefully took his gas gun and kicked the door open and entered. He looked around in the dark place carefully but he saw noting. "Weird, I was positively I heard something." Then he slowly walked out again and after a few minutes reconsidered the hunt on the villains.
----
After a few more minutes he reached a door, which led to the roof of the 70 floor high building. He was so glad he wasn't afraid of heights. Although if he had to be honest such a height were enough to make even the most kick loving ducks feel dizzy. He walked carefully with his gun ready, looking around for his enemy's. Then he jumped aside and rolled behind a chimney taking cover for a other row of electricity bolts, he heard coming just in time.
"I told you you had to zap him immediately, now you mist him, nice going Sparky!"
"Don't call me that!" the sound of an other zap was to be heard "and if you ever call me that again you'll have the full charge."
So it was clear it were QuakerJack and MegaVolt but what about the rest of the five? He had seen them in their get away car, were did they go? Were they on the roof as well? Darkwing looked around to see if there wasn't any one trying to pull of a secret attack.
"Well, were is your boss and the rest of your team? Got lost in the big scary building!" Darkwing said teasing them and hoping he might lure them in telling him.
"We don't need them to get rid of you Dorkwing" MegaVolt sneered and shot an other bolt. Miss again. Darkwing ran to a small little wall to hide there.
"Give up Dipwing and I'll make sure you don't suffer to much.." Megavolt said with a giggling QuakerJack standing at his side.
"No, you surrender and I'll make sure you ladies can share a cell!" Darkwing sneered back getting closer.
MegaVolt was just about to give him an other snappy remark about his witty intros when Grizlicoff came true the door. The two villains token in surprise that their was a S.H.U.S.H. agent as well didn't move for a few moments. But that was all Darkwing needed. MegaVolt wanted to shoot a bolt at Grizlicoff who took out a gun and Darkwing was lunging for megavolt. "Megs look out!" QJ said when he saw Darkwing come. Too late the two of them fell on the ground and started to struggle, blots and swarings flying around. QuakerJack wanted to help Megavolt but when he was going in his direction Grizlicoff shot a bullet in front of his feet. Forcing QuakerJack to take a few steps back from the two struggling figures if he didn't wanted to get hit. "Surrender." Grizlicoff said over dramatically.
"Aren't you supposed to say that before you shoot?!" QuakerJack grinned and was looking at the agent annoyed.
Grizlicoff took an other aim and shot. But this one wasn't even close. It missed QuakerJack who was cheerfully hopping and dancing on the roof avoiding every bullet with a big smile.
"Who I always though they learn to shoot at the police academy, even Dipwing and Sparky do it better."
"Don't call me that!" they heard from where the struggle came. But this had been distracting QJ attention and he didn't saw the next attack come in time. When he turned back to the big grizzly that shot again he hadn't the time to avoid and tripped trying to get out of the way of the bullet. Which cause him to fall over the end of the roof.
--
A yelled made that both Darkwing as Megavolt forgot the fight for a second and look to what was happening. Grizlicoff was standing at the end of the roof but QuakerJack had disappeared.
"QJ?" MegaVolt said in shock
"Hey Megs I could use a bit of help!" a voice responded at the ended of the roof. When QJ had fell down he had manage to grab the end of the roof and keep himself up.
"You'll pay for that!" MegaVolt then groaned towards Grizlicoff and shot a bolt at him which hit him right in the chest and caused him to fly back against the little wall where Darkwing had been hiding earlier and lose conscious.
"Hey Sparky"
"Don't call m…" Darkwing had used this opportunity and raced for the bucket of water at the other side of the door and threw it over MegaVolt who fell down unconscious for a few moments as he sorted out violently.
--
Meanwhile Grizlicoff had regained conscious and was standing above QJ whit a sadistic smile.
"What so funny? You big-hairy-ugly-creepy-cheap-old-teddy!" QJ said annoyed as he tried to get himself back up.
"I was wondering how you would look when you would be one big colourful street pizza." He said grinning evilly and bended down towards the dangling jester.
"Alright..I..I surrender." The scared and intimated villain said.
--
After he had taken care of MegaVolt, Darkwing looked up to see if Grizlicoff was all right. He was shocked by what he saw. Was the agent trying to push the villain down? He hurried toward them.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" he said to Grizlicoff. "He surrendered there is no reason to try and kill him." He said lunging to grab QuakerJacks arm and pull him back up to arrest him. "Stay out of it." The bear groaned and pushed Darkwing violently aside. Then turned to the villain again.
"Looks like justice finally found you." He said grinning down to him.
"I always know I would hate justice!" QuakerJack said grinning weakly in fear.
"Hey big bully be ready to fry!" MegaVolt had regained conscious and was standing behind Grizlicoff, who turned around alarmed. MegaVolt waved his arms in hope to fry the agent but then realized he was out of power. Grizlicoff lounged and try to punch him.
--
Meanwhile Darkwing was back up on his feeds and ran toward the end of the roof where QJ was hanging to pull him up.
"Ow no, not an other sadistic authority guy!" the jester had mumbled when he saw Darkwing.
"Shut up, I'm not in the mood for your jokes so just work along!" he groaned pulling the surprised jester up. QJ was almost back up when they heard an other bang. Grizlicoff had trowed the electrifying villain against the wall who was KO again. Grizlicoff looked terribly bad mooded, evil Darkwing would have said if he hadn't knew better then that he was a S.H.U.S.H. agent. He was aiming right toward QJ who almost managed to get back on the roof. Darkwing pushed the gun away.
"What's gotten in to you, you're acting like one of them!" he said angry about the barbaric behaviour of his partner. But arguing had no use, as Grizlicoff lifted Darkwing up and threw him against the wall beside Megavolt to pass out as well. QuakerJack just manage to get back up the roof and was balancing on the small wall of the 70 floor high building. Grizlicoff launched for him once again.
--
Darkwing painfully opened his eyes again. What had gotten in to the stupid head of Grizlicoff that he knocked him out. He blinked painfully and tried to sit up again when he heard a terrible scream form the end of the roof. He wouldn't, even Grizlicoff wouldn't be that hard. That was not like he normally was, even if he was always a pest, but this... it couldn't. Darkwing rushed to the end of the roof to look down. He couldn't see what was happening, there was a bunch of people gathered and there was a lot of noise and screaming.
"Someone call an ambulance." he yelled down "someone call a bloody ambulance!" he yelled getting angry.
He turned around again to argue with Grizlicoff, but the last one was now going towards MegaVolts, who was still out.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Darkwing yelled angry "Why did you have to do that? He surrendered. He might be dead."
"I hope so!" was the respond Darkwing received to his discusse. "Then at least he won't be any problem again." He said.
Darkwing didn't know what to say and looked shock toward Grizlicoff. He never liked the guy, but this? He would never have expected this of him. "What are you doing?" Darkwing asked as he went towards MegaVolt.
"One down, still one to go!" the bear answered in a groaning voice.
This alarmed Darkwing and in a flash he was standing in front of MegaVolt protectively. "You're not gonna try to kill him as well!" he said firmly.
"We'll see about that!"
"I won't let you kill anyone. Villains or not. That isn't justice" Darkwing said getting more angry with the minute.
"I'll decide if it's justice or not!" Grizlicoff said, he was just a few feet away now.
"Not when I'm around!" Darkwing said with a hard voice and shot a gas can down. A thick bleu smoke blinded the temporary S.H.U.S.H. boss. When the smoke finally left both Darkwing and MegaVolt had disappeared
