Ch.9: Mad Metalwing
If Omega Rex had a body, it would be shaking like a leaf. Worriedly, the computer watched through his electronic eye as Darkwing slowly approached him step by step.
Electric currents surged around the metal mallard's body, his eyes glowed red with anger, and shadows in the room gave him a dark-looking demonic appearence. Inhuman growls erupted from Darkwing's mouth as he steadily approached Omega Rex, reveling in the machine's fear, and intending to make him suffer for all the pain he had caused.
In a desperate attempt to save himself, Omega Rex fired his ray gun at Darkwing, but the laser bolts just bounced off the metal mallard's skin, doing no damage at all. Omega Rex tried again with his built in flamethrower, and shot a sheet of scorching hot flame right at Darkwing.
Once the metal mallard was engulfed in fire, Omega Rex relaxed thinking he had won. A surprise came to him however, as Darkwing stalked out of the flames, looking more menacing than ever before.
The metal mallard's armor had been completly unscathed by the fire, and the angry glow in his eyes became brighter.
"No! Stay Back!" yelled Omega Rex, as Darkwing stepped closer.
That's when Darkwing snapped. Without warning, Darkwing suddenly lunged at Omega Rex, and started to tear the computer apart, piece by piece. From the sidelines, Negaduck watched in horror, as Darkwing mutilated Omega Rex.
Circuit by cicuit, Omega Rex was ripped apart. Panels were torn apart and thrown on the floor. Wires were cut, and left sparking everywhere. The sight of the pure mechanical carnage was almost to much to bare.
The metal door leading to Omega Rex's chamber suddenly swung open allowing Liquidinator and Bushroot to step inside. They looked to see their leader Negaduck staring in horror, and then saw the reason for his sudden fright.
Omega Rex had been turned into a shell of his former self. The only part that had remianed untouched had been his electronic eye, but Darkwing would soon make ammends to that.
With one good, solid punch, Darkwing shattered Omega Rex's eye, bringing the whole computer down with it. Negaduck, Liquidinator, and Bushroot could barely believe it...Omega Rex was no more.
But revenge didn't sastisfy Darkwing. The mallard's mind had become lost to his anger and he started going into a rage.
Without warning, Darkwing was suddenly shooting at anything and everything. Negaduck growled in anger, as he and the others were forced to take cover from Darkwing's mad rampage.
"Liquidinator! Bushroot! Shut him down!" yelled Negaduck " I'll get the Curse Stone,"
Although reluctant, the two villians nodded and went to stop Darkwing before the mallard could cause anymore damage. Bushroot immediately tangled Darkwing with his vine-like arms.
Before Darkwing could even try and start breaking free, the Liquidinator rained over him making the metal mallard short out. His red eyes going suddenly black, Darkwing passed out on the floor.
No one knew how long he would be asleep, Negaduck just hoped it was enough time to activate the Curse Stone.
Chanting quietly, Negaduck whispered the magic words Morganna had prepared for the Curse Stone, making the gem in his hand glow a deep, bright blue. Within seconds, a huge blue light engulfed all of St. Canard, radiating a power like no one has ever seen.
After three pulses, the blue light faded, bringing with it a newly restored St. Canard. The buildings were no longer in ruins, the sky was blue and clear, and most importantly, all the robots were gone. Everyone that had been turned into machines by Omega Rex had reverted back to their previous flesh and blood forms.
When Darkwing woke up from his unconious state, he stared at his hands in surprise. They weren't made of metal! His body wasn't heavy anymore! He was his old flesh and blood self!
Blue eyes lit up in joy, Darkwing jumped excitedly in the air, glad to be back to his old self. When he saw Omega Rex had dissappeared and St. Canard was restored as well, it gave him more reason to cheer.
But then, his eyes suddenly caught the sight of the lifeless bodies of Morganna, Honker, Gossalyn, and Launchpad lying on the floor. All the joy Darkwing had felt a moment ago, dropped like a stone as his eyes landed on those bodies.
Horrible memories came flowing back into his mind, about the sacrifices everyone had made just to save the world from Omega Rex. Without a word, Darkwing walked over to the bodies, and sulked down between them, tears finally coming out of his eyes.
The joy Darkwing felt in the middle of his sorrow was bittersweet. He could cry! He could cry!
Cautiously, Negaduck approached his former enemey, and layed a hand on the duck's shoulder. Darkwing didn't flinch at Negaduck's touch, and looked up at the evil mallard with tears in his eyes.
"Come on" said Negaduck to Darkwing " there's one thing left for us to do,"
Darkwing nodded, knowing what he meant. It was time to bury the dead.
