Remembrance

Chapter 2

Megavolt strode down the abandon street towards the old industry part of St. Canard. This was where the newest hideout of the Fearsome Five was. This area was common for crime and it was not the first time the Five had been held up here. Very often they would run into other city villain like Tuskernini, Dr. Slug, and even some FOWL agents.

Megavolt had to have the address written on his hand so he wouldn't forget it, like many times before. He tried to remember how many times that had happened, but it just made his head hurt. He should have taken the Light bulb's advice and tried to get some more sleep, but he had to see what Quackerjack wanted. If anything, just to make the jester happy while Negaduck was gone.

As Megavolt approach their hideout a strange feeling came over him, like he was being watched. He turned around and 3 FOWL eggman appeared. Then from the shadows, he heard a laugh that made him cringe.

"Well, well, well Sparky!" Steelbeak said, "Funny seeing yous around here, looks likes we be neighbors"

"OHHHH Don't call me that! It's bad enough when Darkwing does it." Sparks began to fly from his body. "And what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, FOWL is building a new super weapon next door and we were wondering if yous and that clown would take a look at it."

"I don't do super weapons" Megavolt eyed the rooster. He really hated this guy, always did and he didn't know why.

"Look Sparks, I got from a very reliable source that Negaduck isn't coming back, yous guys are on your own, you should team up with someone who will know how to use you're abilities…."

"Someone like you?"

"I try to modest, but yes."

"Look Steelbeak, the Five wont waste time and energy trying to take over the world, there are too many other important things to do. Like robbing banks, saving light bulbs from electronic stores, and the occasional city overlord bit, but that only last a day or so and we walk away with a tiny profit. There is no real payoff to taking over the world. You get very little money and you have the populous to deal with. We don't want that."

"Well that's all nice and dandy, but don't think I wont leave yous guys out of my long tern plans." Steelbeak said with a firm voice. "See yas around the neighborhood Sparks!" And with that the Rooster and the Eggman disappeared behind the alleyway.

Megavolt shook his head. This was not going to be last of the conversation, and he really didn't want to deal with it again. He entered the abandon building only to be greeted when a load 'SURPRISE!' Confetti soon rained down from everywhere. Megavolt jolted back in fear; only too see his team mate jump out of no where. "I've been waiting for you!"

"Ya Bushroot told me you needed help with a new toy." Megavolt tried to calm himself.

Quackerjack just laughed, "I knew you'd come help Megs!"

"Ya well its not like I have anything else to do. With the Justice Ducks only a phone call away, anything we try to pull individually will end up in cold jail cell." They started to walk through the building, Quackerjack jumping on a po-go stick and leading the way.

"Well the boss will back soon enough and then when he sees my new toy, we'll be back in business!"

"You really think he'll come back?"

"This is Negaduck we're talking about. He's not exactly the kind of guy who gives up, especially when Darkwing's involved."

"Yeah, I suppose your right." They entered a large room with a large draped object. Bushroot was there, sitting in front of a window, getting some sun.

The Plant Duck looked up, "Hey Megs, glad you made it" Spike was snoozing at his feet.

"Well you said it was important. And before I forget guys, Agent Steelbeak is next door"

"That over dressed Rooster?" Quakerjack asked

"Ya, he wants us to join FOWL" Bushroot added

Quackerjack made a sad face, "The boss wont like that!"

"Well that's only one of many reasons why we wont join." Megavolt said with confidence."

Bushroot looked at his team mates. "If he tries anything we have to back each other up. With the boss gone and Liki on vacation, we only have us three for help."

Both Quackerjack and Megavolt agreed. If Steelbeak was going to start something, they'd be ready.

"Well on to new business boys!" Quackerjack turned their attention to the draped object that stood almost 12 feet tall.

He pulled a rope, "May I present to you, my colleagues, Killer Quackypatch!" And with that the drapes fell to revile a 12 foot tall, exact replica of a cute Quackypatch doll.

Both Bushroot and Megavolt looked up, mouths open. Bushroot finally spoke, "Well it's pink!"

"Of course it is, I was going for authentic. Check this out, laser shoot out her eyes, and if she sings, she emits a sonic wave that causes vibrations in the earth….Oooooo I can't wait to show Negaduck!"

Megavolt whispered to Bushroot, "He shows that giant pink cute doll to Negaduck, we'll be taking in applications for a 5th member"

"I heard that!" Quackerjack stated

"I sorry QJ! It's just so cute."

"Hmm…We'll I guess I could make it a bit more violent."

"Just try to think about what Negaduck wants, and not what you want"

"Well first I need to see if it will work, and that's why I need you Megs." Quackerjack held up two wires, one positive and one negative.

"What do you want with me?" Megavolt didn't like this.

Quackerjack went into a pouting mode. "Batteries aren't included with this toy, I need my own. And who better than you."

"I'm a person, you clown!"

"Oh that's mature, you walking spark plug!"

Bushroot decided to interrupt the feud. "Guys, guys, we're better than this! At least we should be anyway." He turned to Quackerjack. "Anyway this can hurt Megs?"

"Not that I know of, just a power drain and he has more than enough to cover what I need to operated it."

Bushroot looked at Megavolt. "If you don't help him, he won't shut up for days. It's your call"

Megavolt thought, he really hated wasting power, but to keep Quackerjack busy and out of his hair would be nice. After all, he did want to get some sleep in the next coming days, and that would be next to impossible with the jester calling him every 5 mins, asking if he'd change his mind.

"Ok, but for the record, I am not a battery!" Megavolt took the wire and attached them to his cap.

Outside on the roof of the Fearsome Five hideout Steelbeak had his own plan. "Don't do super weapons eh? We'll see who needs who in the coming days!." He eyed Megavolt and saw Quackerjack reach for the 'on' switch. Steelbeak got out his cell phone and dial a number…"Hey this is Agent Steelbeak….listen pal I needs yous to send a power surge in my direction….Thanks pals." Steelbeak hung up the phone and laughed once again.

Back inside the building Quackerjack had just pressed the 'on' switch and the doll started to come to life. Megavolt instantly felt the loss of power, but it was minor. The lights all of sudden flickered and a jolt of energy struck Megavolt. He screamed in pain as all the electricity flowed through his body. Quackerjack panicked and covered his head. Bushroot acted and raised his hand. Roots broke through the floor boards and grabbed his team mate. The branches disconnected him and caught fire. Spike ran up with a bucket of water to put it out. Quackerjack got up and ran to Megs, who was sizzling and barely conscience.

"Megs?" Quackerjack asked.

"Quackerjack?" Megavolt answered. He looked up to see Quackerjack, Bushroot and Spike all starring down at him. "Oh my head!"

"I'm so sorry Megavolt! It shouldn't have taken that much power."

"What shouldn't have what? " Megavolt tried to remember, he couldn't. He didn't have the energy.

"Maybe you should lie down Megs." Bushroot stated.

"NO dreams….bad!" Megavolt started to talk in incomplete sentences.

"What's wrong with his dreams?" Quackerjack asked

"Long story. Come on Megs lets go lie down. I promise we won't leave"

"Well ok….I guess" Megavolt got up and almost fell down again. Quackerjack caught him and the villain led him to Bushroot's chair. Megavolt closed his eyes and sleep overcame him.

Author's Note: Steelbeak strikes again! Special thanks the Fire From Above for some great about the brain. I'll be adjusting that comment in the first chapter. Thanks for all input and reviews, keep them coming.
