Ch.7: Storming The Fortress
In front of the power plant, two lone robot guards stood guarding the entrance, guns in their hands when a crazy clown-duck landed right in front of them.
"Woohoo!" yelled Quackerjack " It's Playtime!"
With that said Quackerjack's army of toy teeth popped out of the dry bushes and charged striaght towards the guards. The robots managed to blast some of the teeth away with their guns, but those they missed started chewing on the robots themselves. Quackerjack laughed as his toys ate away at the metal machines.
"I always thought my toys could use a little iron in their diet," said Quackerjack.
"Let's go!" said Megavolt, rushing inside the power plant.
Once inside, Megavolt gave the system a once over before charging up his hands and firing a pure beam of electrical energy right at the power plant's main circuit breaker. Immediately the control box fizzled and cracked. Soon after, it died, and the whole city blacked out.
"Come on!" said Megavolt to Quackerjack, lighting up his finger in the darkness " let's get back to the hideout before reinforcements arrive,"
"I hope the others are having as much fun as we are," chortled Quackerjack as he and Megavolt left.
Omega Rex just sat there, observing the city when the power suddenly blacked out for no apparent reason. Mad because of the interruption, Omega Rex called on the power of his back up generator, and in fifthteen seconds the power to his building was restored.
Immediately, the computer pulled up all the security screens inside his building and discovered that he had intruders inside. The Resistance had come to play at last.
"Well" said Omega Rex " let the fun begin,"
"Success" said Darkwing, as he and the others made it into the building " now all we have to do is stop Omega Rex!"
"Not really" said Negaduck, pointing behind Darkwing " we have to stop those guys first,"
Without warning, twelve robot guards suddenly began to attack. Vaporia, Darkwing, Negaduck, Bushroot, and Liquidnator immediately sprang into action. Darkwing and Vaporia easily took on the robots with their enhanced mechanical strentgh, while the others hand their own specail style.
Negaduck immediately got out his chainsaw and started slicing the robots in half, while Liquidnator and Bushroot worked together to show their own specail brand of justice. Bushroot would trap the robot guards, and Liquidnator would short them out.
"That's done," said Negaduck, slicing up the last robot.
"Come on!" said Darkwing, and they ran further down the corridor.
Halfway down, their group was suddenly boxed in with a grid of lasers. To make things worse, the floor they were standing on started to open wide, with a tank of glowing green acid standing below. Gossalyn would have almost fallen in, if Darkwing hadn't grabbed her in time.
"Morganna!" yelled Darkwing " we need a doorway! Now!"
Concentrating hard, Morganna focused her mind and blasted a stream of magic right at the laser grid that was blocking their path. As soon as the spell hit, the laser grid was transformed from a deadly trap to a beautiful rainbow.
Not quite what anyone expected, but better than looking a gift horse in the mouth, everyone ran onto the rainbow and crossed over to safety just as the rest of the floor gave away. All were sighing in relief once they were on the other side.
"Phew!" said Launchpad " that was close!"
"You can say that again!" said Gossalyn.
"Hey" said Honker, pointing up ahead " we made it! That's the doorway leading to Omega Rex's chamber!"
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go!" said Bushroot.
With that said, the Resistance ran to the heavy, metal door guarding Omega Rex's room. As Vaporia had described, there was gaint, security lock preventing anyone from entering.
Just as Honker got out his computer equitment and started hacking the system Omega Rex's personal slaves, the Muddlefoots, suddenly came in to stop him. Darkwing knew that they would have eventually run into the Muddlefoots some time or the other.
Honker wasn't to keen on fighting his now robotic parents, and Darkwing seriously doubted he wanted to see them destroyed. Although it probably would have been an improvement given their robotic state. Setting his selfish thoughts aside, Darkwing commanded to his troops.
"Bushroot! Licky! Keep them occupied! The rest of us will follow Honker,"
With a quick nod, Bushroot and Liquidnator attacked the Muddlefoots just as Honker successfully cracked the code and the door opened. Quickly, Darkwing and the others, minus two, made it inside the power core room just before the door resealed itself.
Omega Rex stood in the center of the room, his electronic eye glowing an eerie red. He immediately observed the unexpected guests.
"Ah, Darkwing" said Omega Rex " I see you survived your trip to the dump. Enjoying your new life I presume?"
"Stuff it, Circuit Brain!" shouted Darkwing, pointing to Omega Rex " we got you right where we want you,"
"Wrong" said Omega Rex " I got you right where I want you. Isn't that right Vaporia?"
Before anyone could react, Vaporia suddenly grabbed Gossalyn and had a claw under her neck, grinning evilly.
"Whatever you say, Honey," said Vaporia to Omega Rex.
