The smell of blood

"As I said. We have to continue with our plan." Nega Duck was circling round his desk stressed. The fearsome four were at their headquarters "beside with a bit of luck Dipwing will be there and we can have our revenge at the same time!" he added to have Megavolts attention. Since he had heard the news he was extremely quiet and totally off the world. "So you all know what to do. In an hour at the place." Nega Duck said and turned around. "I want you all sharp, we have to face the facts, we're missing one so I want all of you working for two." He said businesslike and left the other tree villains.

"Dad!" Gosalyn was shaking her dad violently.

"What?" Drake sat up confused then he calmed down "Gos, honey, I thought I told you not to do this..." He started

"But dad this is important. The city needs you." The little girl said looking worried. "Remember you said things were going wrong lately? I know what is happening." Gosalyn started pulling her dad out of bed.

"How do you mean you know what's happening?" Drake asked alarmed.

"Well not really know everything, but I know there are troubles with the five and S.H.U.S.H." Gosalyn said bringing her dad his Darkwing costume.

Drake looked confused "I thought you didn't want me to go out so much any more."

"Yes, I know, but that was before I knew there were people dieing." Gosalyn said calming down a bit "QuakerJack died, that was what was bothering you yesterday right? It's surprising how it can hurt, right? Even if you think you don't care." Gosalyn said looking at her father.

"Gos…" Drake didn't know what to say, and although he preferred to deny it he couldn't. Even if he knew there were times he had wished the jester dead, now that he really was dead it felt like a part of Darkwing was missing. An arch enemy with who he had once worked together, it was amazing how you got attached to your enemies. "How do you know Gosalyn?" he asked.

"It was on the news this morning. That was the blood on your costume yesterday, right?" the little girl asked.

Ow no, she didn't think he… "Gos, I swear you I didn't.."

"I know dad, you wouldn't. But any way the city needs you now. It was on the radio a minute ago. There is a big fight at one of the shush warehouses. The five…four broke in and are having a huge fire fight with a few shush agents. But I don't get one thing, they said Grizlicoff was leading S.H.U.S.H.? What happened to Hooter?"

Drake rushed to the bathroom when he heard this and came out as Darkwing again. "I'll have him for this!" Darkwing groaned.

"Be careful dad." Gosalyn said handing him his gas gun.

"Yes, I will, but you better be careful as well." Darkwing said.

Gosalyn looked at her father puzzled "You mean….?" She asked grinning.

"Yes you're coming along. I don't trust Nega Duck, he wants revenge and you might be in danger. I know that when I take you along it's dangerous as well but if you're with me I can at least keep an eye on you." He said as they went for the hide out "so let's get dangerous" they said both in union.

-----

"Agent Grizlicoff, we can't take them much longer. They have taken hold of the fire arms."
In the main S.H.U.S.H. warehouse the battle of the century was going on. Almost all of S.H.U.S.H. agents were fighting the fearsome four, who fought back harder then ever.

"Keep fighting, they will not win." The huge grizzly groaned.

"But sir, there are already 3 agents dead and 7 others hurt badly and we didn't even do any damage to them." The agents said

Grizlicoff lifted the agent by his collar "Even if I have to send half of my army to hell for it, I will get Nega Duck down." He said narrowing his eyes. The agent shook his head fearfully. Grizlicoff dropped him violently. "Resume fire!" he yelled as the warehouse was filled with the noise of violent fight and the odour of blood.

-----

Darkwing parked his ratcatcher near the warehouse. The sound of gun shots could be heard for miles. "Grizlicoff totally lost his mind." He groaned. "Listen champ, I need your help, you call the ambulance and make sure that when everybody comes running out they are brought into safety. Call the police as well but stay far from the four and Grizlicoff. Can you do that, Gos?"

"Sure dad, I'm on it." The little girl said toughly. "Now go kick those bastards' asses!" She added with a small grin.

Darkwing rushed his hand trough the little girls red hair, quickly kissed her cheek and left.

-----

Darkwing came at the warehouse and peeked in by the door, what he saw was horrible. The four fought like he never seen them before, as if the devil was on their heels. At the other side Grizlicoff was forcing his agents to fight back and get the enemy down, even if it meant a certain dead for half of his troops. Darkwing went back out, he had to do something. He shot his hook up to the roof and got up. Once he was at the roof he saw a small window. "I hate it when my cape gets dirty" he said as he rolled his cape over his hand and punched the window until the glass shattered. He entered by the hole and made his way to a point were you could jump from the first floor to the ground easily. From there he saw the fight, he took his gas gun out and aimed it to the middle of the room. "Now just hope that this new canister does just as well as it's meant to." He mumbled and shot. Immediately the room was filled with a thick, bad smelling green smoke. Agents started to yell and the panic was complete, bullets were coming from every side. Darkwing bit his beak and ground his teeth as a bullet hit his arm, he had no time to be a cry baby right now. He attached a rope to the wall and went down. At the other side of the warehouse a little red haired girl opened the exit calling to the agents to come that way and guiding everybody out. "Great job, champ.", Darkwing whispered. Meanwhile the smoke was clearing. Everybody was evacuating the building. The four were going towards the other exit when Nega Duck noticed Darkwing and stopped them. "Time for revenge boys" he said looking to the hero. "You know what to do!"

Darkwing turned around. He was just about to pursuit the four when the little girl yelled at him to dodged, he did so and a zap missed him by an inch. He rolled out of sight and took his gun back, aiming towards his attacker.

"I'll have you fry, Darkwing duck!" Megavolt yelled furiously, talking for the first in a long time.

Darkwing shot a canister but Megavolt made it exploded in mid air. "I didn't kill him." Darkwing yelled.

"Yeah right, and I'm Elvis and Nega Duck is Barbie." Megavolt said, as sparks were flying violently in his hat and almost his whole body was surrounded by sparks as he kept shooting deadly charges of electricity towards the hero. The other villains took a step back from the furious Megavolt.
Meanwhile in the shadows the figure a Grizlicoff lured with a gun, aiming first towards Darkwing but then towards Megavolt instead. He closely watched Darkwings every move waiting for the hero to shoot.
Darkwing saw a metal shine out of the corner of his eye. "O no you don't!" he groaned and shot a canister to were had seen the gun. This made Grizlicoff swear loudly. The villains turned surprised as a bullet came from were Darkwing had just shot. The bullet went harmlessly through the Liquidator. Darkwing jumped forwards and gave Megavolt a Quack-Fu kick in the stomach so that he was out for a moment "Sorry Megsy, but I can't afford to be fried right now."

"What about me, can I join the party." Nega Duck said laughing ghastly punching Darkwing right in the face, his beak bleeding.

"Sure I wouldn't want you to miss the fun Negs!" Darkwing responded and kicked his attacker in the stomach as a wild wrestling for life started. Outside sirens were heard.

"Boss, we have to go, if we don't wanna end on the electric chair!" the Liquidator said worried, while Bushroot picked up the unconscious Megavolt.

Nega Duck groaned "Just let me finish this." He grumbled and tried to strangle Darkwing who was trying to punch Nega Duck off him. Nega Duck was kicked back and took a gun out, but Darkwing kicked it out of his hands and picked it up aiming towards Nega Duck who was just about to attack him again.

"You don't have the guts!" his evil look-alike said, narrowing his eyes.

"Ow but I do, Nega Duck!" Darkwing said holding the gun straight "but I choose not to." He continued "maybe one day you will understand."

A grin formed on the villains face but this quickly disappeared. Their was the sound of a gunshot that sneered trough flesh and bone. The two other villains saw a dark spot spreading on Nega Ducks cape at the hight of his chest. Darkwing had just lowered the gun before the shot was heard, he looked at his foe in shock as the smell of fresh blood was spreading and his evil twins costume got a dark red colour. Nega Duck stood there shaking a bit on his legs "So some one else did have the guts I see! "He chuckled with a lot of difficulty, falling to his knees. Darkwing rushed towards Nega Duck and caught him before he could fall to the ground. The other two villains looked perplex. "Boss?" Bushroot said with trouble.

"Get out of here." Darkwing said as the sirens came closer towards the villains.

The Liquidator and Bushroot with Megavolt in his roots didn't need a second warning and ran towards the exit. Grizlicoff was aiming at them, he came out of the shadows to have a better aim. Darkwing grabbed Nega Ducks handgun, while he had Nega Duck in his arms, and shot the gun out of Grizlicoff's hand. The bear yelled in pain and frustration and did a furious step towards Darkwing who kept his gun aimed towards the bear.

"You wouldn't." he said with an angry face.

"He might die!" Darkwing said with a low voice about the Nega Duck that was chuckling and coughing blood in his arms. "He's my brother." Darkwing mumbled. Grizlicoff made a step forwards. "Don't try me!" Darkwing said in a low and threatening voice. The bear stopped.

"You have to choose, Darkwing, whether you are with me or with them?" the bear said.

"In that case I know were my loyalty should be!" Darkwing responded and quickly switched the handgun for his gas gun and shot a net that caught the bear.

"Looks like you made a wrong choice again!" the bear yelled at him angrily. But Darkwing didn't pay any attention to him and picked up Nega Duck and carried him out.

Gosalyn who had been helping the agents to get out was now helping to nurse some of their wounds when she heard a scream. She looked what was happening. Everybody was looking at a blood covered Darkwing came out of the building with a wounded Nega Duck in his arms. Gosalyn hurried toward him.

"Darkwing." She gasped

Darkwing putted Nega Duck on the ground and tiered a part of his cape rolling it over his chest for pressure. "Hold on, I'll get you safe Nigel." Darkwing whispered

"It's Nega duck!" the other duck coached threw the blood.

"Yes, I know the fearsome, lord of darkness Nega duck. I'll get you safe hang on bro." Darkwing said with a forced grin.

Gosalyn stood their amazed; she didn't even had to ask she got it now. This was one of the secrets Drake always had hold back for her and she also got why. She bit her lip. "The last ambulance just left, shall I call an other one?" she said under her breath.

"He won't make it."Darkwing said picking him up again and going towards his ratcatcher. He carefully putted Nega Duck in the side car and started his motorcicle. "I'll see you at the hide out hon." He whispered to her.

"Be careful dad." She quietly answered.

"I knew it." Nega Duck said threw a chuckle "She just like you Drake, gadialations." He continued with difficulty "But you know I'll use it against you?" he added grinning a bit.

"Yes, I know Negs. Keep that thought as long you can think of killing me theirs hope fore you!" Darkwing said grinning halfly and dashed away.

-----

"Interesting, very interesting." Grizlicoff was standing in the exit and looked at Darkwing who took of with Nega Duck after he had said something to the little girl. "Every thing is going right as planned." The great dark grizzly grinned evilly as he twisted a feather in his hand. When Darkwing had torn in cape to put pressure at Nega Duck he hadn't see he had left a little part of the fabric with one of his tail feathers on. "Every thing right as planned." He repeated as he narrowed his eyes at the figure that was now almost out of sight and the little red haired girl.
