A whole week had pasted since the Sonic heroes found Darkwing duck. In the hopes that he could shed some light on the situation, they kept him and nursed him back to health. However he had been in a sleep like state ever since, and he hasn't awakened or said anything yet.

Meanwhile all was going wrong in the city of Saint Canard. Without the city's hero, there was nobody left to oppose the evil force of Shadow and Negaduck. And those who did try were easily silenced.

It took the duo only a day to bring the city to its knees. On the second day the city surrendered and since then they have lived like slaves under the rule of their newly appointed kings Shadow and Negaduck. During the invasion battle Shadow and Omega learned a surprising trait about this new Negaduck. He was able to transform into the galvanized version of himself without using additional power. Of course he was able to transform back.

And their rule was run with an iron fist. The city was literally run into the ground after that. Most buildings were destroyed, and the people had to live in the slums of the streets. Only one building stood above it all.

It was the town hall, or now formally called the Kings' Palace. The building was fortified to look like a palace; outside it looked like a fortress of doom. Two large pillars of fire stood out on a mighty balcony. With that view someone could see a whole view of the city. And one of the great things they could see was the people working as slaves building two large stone statues of their kings. And they were almost completed.

And deep inside that palace was the throne room of the two kings. The room was big and lavished; a big red carpet was in the middle. Four might pillars on the corners of the room. The doors to the room were outlined in solid gold. And sitting in two large chairs were the two kings. Both lavishly sat slouched in their chairs. Since their takeover of the city, the two had enforced many strict rules.

The first and most important rule: Worship the two kings

And those two kings at this very moment sat in their chairs high and mighty. They wore long stylish red capes, golden crowns layered with jewels. In Negaduck's hand was a golden scepter. In Shadow's was a cigarette which he occasionally brought up to his mouth and puffed.

And not too far from Shadow's side was his robotic companion Omega. Whereas by Negaduck there was no one, he had sent the furious five to enforce the news laws around the cities. And Omega stayed not because he was ordered to, but because he felt the need to stay by his friend Shadow. And so far Shadow's new found partnership and rule hadn't affected their friendship, yet.

But the two kings sat calmly and quietly knowing that outsid thousands of people were being tortured doing back breaking labor all to suit their needs and wants.

Just then a loud knock came from the doors. All in the room turned their attention to the door as it slowly slid open. Then walked in Megavolt.

"My lords." He said as he approached. Shadow sunk back in his chair while Negaduck rested his head on his hand."I have some news." continued Megavolt as he now stood before the two.

"And?" asked Negduck."What is it?"

"Your statues are complete sires." told Megavolt. Shadow and Negaduck slowly rose their heads up and looked at each other.

"Let's go have a look then." said Shadow as he jumped out of his seat.

"After you." said Negaduck as he extended his arm allowing Shadow to lead the way. But before leaving the room onto the balcony he glanced behind him to make sure Omega was following, and he was. The two kings then went out onto the balcony. Omega waited behind them.

They walked out to the very edge and peered over to the ground below. They could already see their finished stone statues. Both stood 100 feet high with one on both sides of the balcony, standing before the exit to the palace.

Negaduck's statue was of him, with his body in a kind of western stance. His right foot was forward, his left back. His shoulders were wide, his arms hung at his sides, his fingers extended.

Shadow's statue was also of him, but not as complex. He was standing up straight with his arms crossed over his chest.

Upon the arrival of the two kings onto the balcony, the people all down below shook with fright. They had seen the terror the two had caused when they first invaded.

"Bow down to the kings." called Liquidator, as he stood before the crowd with Bushroot right next to him. The people inflicted with fear, all dropped to their knees and bowed down.

Negaduck on the balcony lavished in this sight. The giant statue of him, the people bowing before his feet made him feel all powerful.

"Look at them Shadow." He said in all the excitement."Their bowing like ants before their master." Then the idea hit him, and he jerked up and looked at the sky. These people were bowing before him and had built a statue of him, he felt truly invincible, he felt immortal, and he felt God-like."I am a God." He said softly as he reached his hand out to touch the star filled sky above.

Shadow watched on as Negaduck seemed infatuated by his new discovery.

"Shall we celebrate?" asked Shadow as he walked forward and placed his hand on Negaduck's back, breaking him out of his trance.

"Yes." said Negaduck after a few seconds as a smile formed on his face. Shadow turned around and clapped his hands.

Omega who stood in the doorway of the balcony did nothing, however the growing sounds of feet running in their direction became louder and louder.

Then Quakcer Jack ran pasted Negaduck holding a golden tray, on the tray was two glass cups and a bottle of wine.

Quacker Jack approached the two, kneeling down before them and presenting the tray. Shadow took both the glasses in one hand and the wine bottle in the other. Quacker Jack then rose to his feet and stepped back. Shadow opened the wine bottle and then filled both the glasses. When they were both full he handed one to Negaduck, then wrapped his own hand around the other. Negaduck took the glass and held it up.

"A toast." He said upon raising his glass high in the air."To our partnership and our rule. May it live on forever." He spoke much softer next."And may we live forever as Gods."

Shadow thought to himself."Very poetic." With nothing to really add all he added was saying "Cheers." Then he raised his glass up and clicked it with Negaduck's. Then the tow partners drank their glasses.

All was going right for the partners now. Their partnership had allowed them to do things they would have otherwise thought impossible. But new threat miles away would bring harm to this partnership.

Only a few miles away from Saint Canard, was the city of Station Square. And near Station Square was Angel Island. And on Angel Island the enemy's of both members of the Unholy Alliance were meeting.

Ever since a week ago when Mighty and Sonic had found Darkwing Duck, the heroes have been working in shifts night and day tending to him seeing if he needed anything. But Negaduck had been in a coma-like state since his arrival, but had been stirring lately, but he wasn't talking yet. But the hopes were when he woke up that he would be able to fill them in on the situation. Seeing as how two unknown people had appeared and attacked Sonic and left him for dead, and Darkwing bore a striking resemblance to Negaduck. So when Darkwing woke up he would have a lot of explaining to do.

The heroes had been keeping him in a small house on Angel Island. It was a small shack used by the choatix as their home. It was suitable to fit all six of them, and since Darkwing's arrival he was sleeping in Knuckles and Julie-Su's room.

And all the heroes were currently gathered in the living room of the choatix's home. Each of them sprawled around the room. Mighty lying down on the couch, Vector sitting at his feet. Espio leaned on the side of the couch. Sonic was laid out on the floor, with his hands on top of his head. Knuckles sitting in a chair, Julie-Su sitting on the armrest, Rogue standing on too far away from him.

"So how much longer are we suppose to keep this up?" asked Mighty.

"As long as we need to." told Julie-Su. It was her original idea to keep Darkwing and nurse him back to health. The men were willing to go along with this, but that didn't last too long. After two days Mighty and Vector began to complain. The next day Knuckles seemed to be convinced and began complaining as well. But Julie-Su had kept him mostly in line after that. Rogue had stayed around to help as well, but Knuckles only assumed it had something to do with breaking him and Julie-Su up. However she had never told about how she and Knuckles spent the day together. Espio, Sonic, Charmy, and Julie-Su were the only ones who still didn't mind caring for Darkwing. However Sonic was most likely going to crack soon, his fast going attitude couldn't keep him still for so long.

"I don't like waiting this long." said Vector as he leaned back and put his hands on his head."Something better give soon or I will."

"All you guys do is complain." said Julie-Su. She looked over to Vector and Mighty, who both only closed their eyes or sighed in return.

"I must say." said Knuckles."I also agree with them." He looked up at Julie-Su who looked back at him.

"How can you say that?" asked Julie-Su. Everyone's eyes glanced from Knuckles to Julie-Su as they talked.

"I'm too tired of sitting here babysitting." said Knuckles in a stressed voice, trying to hid his anger. "I want something to happen, and I want it to happen now!"

Julie-Su put her hand on Knuckle's head and turned him to face her.

"Calm down." She said to him. "Everything will turn out alright; you've just got to give it time." Knuckles looked up at her with an annoyed look, but she was used to his violent and angry nature.

"Or." said Rogue's voice as she walked over, put her hand on Knuckles' chin and turned him to her."You could just leave this all to someone else and go somewhere else." Knuckles looked up at her with an angry glare. Julie-Su gave the same glare.

"Not to interrupt you moment." said Sonic as he rose up. Rogue, Julie-Su, and Knuckles all have him an annoyed or angry look."But I too am becoming annoyed with this." Vector and Mighty nodded their heads.

Meanwhile this whole time Espio stood in silence. That was until now.

"Do you hear that?" he asked. All the rest became quiet and turned to him.

"Hear what?" asked Mighty as he sat up. All became silent ,each leaning in and listened intently. They could hear faint mumblings and movement in the other room, the room where Darkwing Duck was being kept.

Espio took a look over to the rest of the group and then he hurried over to the room. Then all rose from their seated positions and headed over.

Espio walked up and opened the door. Upn doin so he saw Darkwing duck sitting upright in the bed.

"Who are you?" asked Darkwing as he jumped up and pointed at the chameleon."And where am I?"

"Calm down." said Espio putting his hands up."My name is Espio, and you in our home." Darkwing seemed more relaxed, but he still didn't know exactly if he could trust this Espio or the figures behind him, or where this house.

"How did I end up here?" asked Darkwing.

"A week ago." told Julie-Su as she walked in the room."Two of us found you and brought up back here. You were very beaten up, and we decided to fix you up in the hopes that you could help us."

"Help you do what?" asked Darkwing as he sat back down and the rest of the group entered the room and surrounded him.

"We had two unknown people show up and attack one of us." told Vector."And you have a resemblance to someone we once fought so we thought you should know." Darkwing glanced around at all the figures in the room. His eyes moved from the two echidnas to the bat, the armadillo, the chameleon, crocodile and a familiar looking hedgehog.

Darkwing eyes burst open upon seeing him.

"So your back evil doer." He shouted as he jumped from his place and pointed at Sonic. The blue hedgehog looked startled. Just then Darkwing jumped from his place and lunged at Sonic.

But he was quickly stopped as Knuckles and Mighty grabbed Darkwing while he was in midair and put him back on the bed.

"What was that all about?" asked Rogue. Darkwing struggled in Knuckles and Mighty's grip, but he was able to get a good look at Sonic.

"Ok, Ok." He said."I'll be calm." Mighty and Knuckles slowly released Darkwing and stepped a few feet back. Darkwing slowly sat up.

"Sorry about that." He said to Sonic."It's just you look a lot like someone else I've met."

"Let me guess." said Sonic."Black hedgehog, has a robot companion?'

"How'd you know that?" asked Darkwing.

"We all know him." said Sonic.

"Are you familiar with what he's doing now?" asked Darkwing.

"Please enlighten us." said Vector.

"Well this friend of yours." Said Darkwing, he then tried to recall his name. It wasn't hard he'd remembered every one of his foes names."Shadow, has teamed up with an old enemy of mine and now they must be causing havoc on the city of Saint Canard."

"Who's this enemy of yours?" asked Knuckles.

"Negaduck." told Darkwing. Everyone was once again hit with a wave of fear.

"That's impossible." said Rogue." Negaduck was killed a few months ago, we all saw it."

"He seemed pretty alive when I saw him." said Darkwing.

"But even more." sdded Julie-Su."Why would he and Shadow be partners, Shadow killed Negaduck in the past."

"They seemed pretty chummy when I saw them." told Darkwing."Whatever is going on here I thinks it's agreed that there are many things we don't know. The real question is what are we going to do about it."

"Hard to say." said Knuckles scratching his head."We could-"

"Are you all not heroes?" asked Darkwing as he looked around at them.

"Yes we are." said Sonic.

"Then it's your duty to stop all evil wherever it is." Said Darkwing as he jumped up and pointed one finger up.

"Well what are you suggesting?" asked Espio.

"I have a plan on how to deal with Shadow and Negaduck." Told Darkwing.
