Ch.2: Reign of the Machines
Omega Rex had turned bad, and the entire city of St. Canard was in chaos. Everything electrical, within a hundred miles was on the fritz, and attacking every harmless citizen in sight.
"Boy I hate it when Dad's right," thought Gossalyn, looking out at all the chaos.
Darkwing, Honker, Launchpad, and Gossalyn had made their way to the hideout on Automan Bay Bridge to escape Omega Rex's rampage. Launchpad and Honker were working furiously to disconnect both the Ratcatcher and the Thunderquack from the main power grid, so they could operate without the risk of Omega Rex controlling them.
"How in the world are we going to stop this thing?" said Darkwing, staring out the same window as Gossalyn.
"Honk, can't you think of something?" said Gossalyn, turning to the young genius " after all it was your role model that created this death trap,"
"The only way to stop Omega Rex would be to cut off the power at its source" said Honker " the problem is getting someone close enough to shut him down,"
"I can take care of that" said Darkwing, turning to Honker " just find me a way in, so I can shut that menace down!"
"Alright" said the Launchpad, truimphantly " the Ratcatcher is disconnected from the mainframe. I'll get to work on the Thunderquack, then we can meet you downtown,"
"Agreed" said Darkwing, speeding off on the Ratcatcher " see you there!"
" If I had a mouth I would be smiling," thought Omega Rex, as he looked out over the city through their own security cameras, reveling in the destruction he was causing.
The populace had put up a pathetic resistance againist the machines and were quickly overpowered, and throw into cells with the criminals they hated so much. However, even the criminals had to agree with the rest of the citizens of St. Canard that being dictated by machines was going way to far.
Negaduck and his Fearsome Five had to be the most infuriated, and were on the search for the one hero they hoped could help stop this caper; Darkwing Duck. However, there was no sign of the masked mallard to be found.
"What a time for the hero to decide to disappear" thought Negaduck " if he doesn't come out of hiding soon, we'll all be destroyed,"
Suddenly the Ratcatcher sped by the Fearsome Five, shocking the villians as it sped past.
"Where's he going?" asked Megavolt.
"I don't know" said Negaduck " but I'm not standing around to find out. Come on!"
With that said, Negaduck and the Fearsome Five chased after Darkwing.
"Oh" said Omega Rex, as soon as he saw Darkwing pull up inside his building " it seems like the hero has arrived. How rude of me not to invite him in,"
With that said, Omega Rex lowered the security shields, allowing Darkwing easy access to get inside. The computer's sudden genoursity was not lost to the angry hero.
"This has got to be a trap" thought Darkwing " should I take the bait?"
Not overlooking a gift horse in the mouth, Darkwing hopped off his Ratcatcher and stepped inside, the security doors closing behind him as he did so. Now, he totaly trapped inside the building, with no one else, except him and Omega Rex.
"Rats!" growled Negaduck, as soon as he and the Fearsome Five caught up with Darkwing, or at least with his mororcycle. Again, the masked mallard was nowhere to be found.
"You don't think he went inside do you?" asked Bushroot, pointing to the building in front of them.
"If he did" said Negaduck " then he's trapped in there with Omega Rex. If Darkwing falls here, St. Canard is doomed,"
Meanwhile, inside the building, Darkwing had finally found his way to the main control room, where Omega Rex was eagerly awaiting his arrival.
"So nice of you to accept my invitation Darkwing Duck" said Omega Rex " I am pleased to finally meet you,"
"Well I'm not pleased to meet you!" shouted Darkwing " I'm here to pull your plug, and stop this reign of terror,"
"I'm afriad that's not in the plan" said Omega Rex, his voice suddenly growing sinister " you are going to help me test a little invention of mine,"
Without warning, Darkwing felt his arms being grabbed by a couple of steel boned robots, and being dragged to a circular platform standing in the center of the room. Once the two robots shackled Darkwing down in the circle, they left as Omega Rex shouted out a command to activate the machine.
The pain of a thousand lightning bolts burned through Darkwing's skin making the masked mallard cry out in in pain. From the outside, the Fearsome Five could hear the superhero's horrifying screams and cringed at their pitch.
It sounded like Darkwing Duck was dying.
" He failed" thought Negaduck, when the screams stopped " he couldn't beat Omega Rex. Guess the Fearsome Five are what's left to take care of the city now,"
With that thought, the Fearsome Five hopped on the Ratcatcher and drove off.
Back inside, Omega Rex glowed with happiness that his experiment had been a success. Now there was nowhere to run for the oragnics in St. Canard.
"Shut down and get rid of him" said Omega Rex to his two robots " Darkwing Duck has served his purpose,"
With that said, the two robots grabbed Darkwing Duck and dragged the unconious hero all the way to the city dump. Where he would rot there alone, for the rest of his days.
