Remembrance

Chapter 3

Quackerjack was nervous. He was sitting at his friend's side for hours now, pounding away at his paddleball. When Megavolt refused to wake up, Bushroot went to go get help, but he didn't say who. With him gone, Quackerjack was left alone only to watch as Megs appeared to have night terror after nigh terror. Occasionally, he would speak, but nothing ever made since, at least nothing Quackerjack understood.

He heard voices from a distance; one of them was defiantly Bushroot, and the other sounded female.

"If you're planning a trap Bushroot, my Dark will have your tulips for this!" Quackerjack knew that voice.

Bushroot and Morgana Macawber emerged from the door way. "What's she doing here" Quackerjack immediately started to complain. "She'll tell the Justice Ducks on us."

"Megs doesn't want to go see a doctor, and Morgana has healing magic. Plus she's an ex con, she knows what it's like to be out on your own."

Morgana added to that, "And if you or any of your playmates try anything, Eek and Squeak have orders to report to my Dark"

"Ok, we weren't planning anything, just make him better." Quackerjack pointed to his friend.

Morgana walked over and inspected him, "You say he received a heavy jolt."

Bushroot nodded, "So much so, I think it affected his memory. Apparently he's suffered from the same thing before."

Morgana noticed Megavolt struggling in his dream. Whatever was happening, Megavolt was fighting it. She honestly didn't know why she was here, helping her boyfriend's arch enemies. But she was a member of the Justice Ducks, which meant she'd try to help all individuals, even if that meant saving the life of a super villain. Morgana believed there was good in everyone, which was why she was able to reform so quickly. Because of that, she believed she had no right to judge these villains. She would protect the city from them of course, but if one of them was dieing, she'd do her best to help, weather Darkwing liked it or not, after all he's the one who taught her to have morals in the first place.

She bent down and started an incantation. The villains in the room couldn't understand what she was saying but they saw sparks and dust in the air that pored down on their friend. Megavolt tossed and turned harder, he appeared out of breath. Just as Morgana was finishing the spell, he shot up and shouted, "Drake! Come back!"

Morgana stopped immediately, starring at the villain, 'how did he know that name?' She thought. 'He couldn't mean my Dark?'

Megavolt put his hand to his head, breathing heavily. He was sweating heavily. Bushroot and Quackerjack came up, "Hey Megs, you any better?"

"Huh? Oh hi guys. I'm fine I guess." He looked at Morgana who was still in shock. "What's she doing here?"

"Do you remember what happened?" Bushroot asked.

"Of course, power serge struck the building as I was hooked up to Killer Quackypatch. It hit me hard and you guys had me get some sleep." Bushroot and Quackerjack just starred.

"You remember, perfectly?"

"Yeah…I guess I do….Hey that's the first time I can remember something so clearly! How about that? But that still doesn't explain her."

"I wanted to make sure you'd be alright, so I went and got help."

Morgana cleared her throat. "I suppose, the combination of the shock and my healing magic is the cause of you're regained memory."

"Really? I wonder what else I can remember."

"Do you remember what you were dreaming about?" Morgana asked, hoping to find out more information on what he meant when he had awakened.

"Oh yes, the same dream that I've been having for years now. I never forget it."

"Who did you mean by Drake, Megs?" Quackerjack asked. Morgana bit her beak. Just incase, she had an amnesia spell that she was starting to calculate in her head. She was hoping she wouldn't have to use it, but if it meant protecting Dark and Gosylan, then there was no question.

"Hmmm?...Who's Drake?"

"You said his name when you woke up" Bushroot added.

"Drake…Drake….Drake. The name is familiar. Like I should know it. I remember a promise."

"Morgana, you know a lot about dreams. Can you help Megavolt?" Bushroot asked.

"I think I've helped you guys out enough. No offensive, but we are enemies you know."

"Yeah, I thanks for coming over. I hope we can trust you to keep the secret of our hideout for a while."

"Well that depends if you have any plans of robberies, or general anarchy for a while"

"With the boss MIA, we are laying low, you have my word." Bushroot held up his leafy hand.

"Well I have errands to run, best be off. Try to get some sleep Megavolt, and please, consider seeing a doctor. You don't know what damage that jolt did." And with that Morgana left, however she was bound and determined to find out which Drake Megavolt referenced. And she knew a certain little dream goblin who would know.

With that the three villains were left alone. Spike was at his master's side and appeared to be chewing on something blue. Megavolt looked up, "So how long was I out?"

Quackerjack announced, "Oh it must have been hours. Bushroot had to have been gone for half a day or so."

"I was gone 20 mins, you clown!"

Megavolt got up and stretched. He then noticed the blue object in Spike's mouth. "Hey! Where did you get that?" Megavolt made a dash for the fly trap. Spike, not expecting anything, was quite upset when the blue object was taken from him. He began whimper.

"Oh my god! I haven't seen this in years!" Megavolt held up the object to revile it to be a very old, very torn up, 1st first science fair ribbon.

"What is it?" Quackerjack asked.

"It's my science award." Megavolt started going off without even thinking, "I got it from saving the city from FOWL. My best friend Drake and I….." Megavolt stopped speaking, and just starred. Finally he uttered ..."My friend Drake……I remember him."

"Who?" Bushroot asked

"Drake…He's my friend"

"Well I'm glad you're starting to remember. Is this before or after 9 years ago."

"Before, I think…I'm not sure. The memories are there, it's just a jumble."

Quackerjack decided to butt in at that point. "Well if this Drake is your best friend and all, where has he been all this time? I mean I've known you a while Megs."

Suddenly the image of the bridge and the Duck giving up on him flashed in his brain. Megavolt looked down, "I don't know where he is."

Both villains could see Megavolt was real upset. Bushroot suggested, "Maybe we should get you home Megs. You know for some rest."

"Home?...Yes Home….All my stuff is at home" And with that Megavolt made a dash for the door, leaving Bushroot, Spike and Quackerjack to catch up.

Author's Note: Short Chapter…but a good one. Glad everyone is enjoying it.
