Remembrance

Chapter 10

Negaduck arrived at the hideout late in the evening, still thinking about all ways to kill Darkwing. His motorcycle pulled up and his attack dogs jumped out, eager to get inside. When Negaduck looked up, he didn't expect to this.

Where the abandon warehouse once was, now stood an entire scorched tree, almost 60 feet tall. The whole area looked like it had been burned down. Quickly Negaduck's instincts went up, something happened here. "Boys! Guard!" He yelled to the dogs, who now stood in attack mood to anything that moved besides their master.

Negaduck inspected the area around the tree, 'this was definitely Bush Brain's handy work', he thought. More inspection led to more and more questions. A battle took place here. And from the looks of it, 2 against 40….and the 2 lost. One of the dogs came up and in his mouth was a toy, a part of a jack in the box. He handed it to Negaduck who squeezed it hard. "Why weren't they together, why weren't fighting as one." He said to himself. He jumped back into his bike, whistled and the dogs jumped in as well. "Oh it almost brings a tear to my eye thinking about the pain and suffering I'm going to do to whoever did this…..almost." And with that he gave an evil laugh and drove off.

Megavolt strode down the street, trying to decide on what to do. His friends were in trouble, and he couldn't just go after them. If he were caught by FOWL, then world might very well be destroyed. But he had to do something. He had to find Darkwing Duck.

Passing by an alley way, he heard a commotion. He peaked his head in and noticed a mugging. 'Big deal' he thought to himself. He was about to walk away but then heard, "My Dad will make you sorry". That voice was familiar. Where had he heard it before?

He gave another quick look and saw who the victim was. A little red haired girl with a jersey. "Hey I know you." He said out load.

"Beat it chump, you didn't see nothing." One of the Muggers turned.

"Are you serious? Do you know who I am?"

"My grandma? No get lost!"

Megavolt considered just walking away; he looked at the little girl who was in a fight to hold onto her duffle bag. He tired very hard to remember her. That's when it hit him, that's when he knew who she was. "Now I remember her." He then looked back to the mugger. "Leave her alone, or face the wrath of Megavolt!"

Sparks flew everywhere in the alleyway. Megavolt pulled out his electro gun and aimed for their butts. All of them gave a quick yelp and ran off without much of a fight. This left Megavolt alone with the little red haired girl.

"I knew you looked familiar!" He said to her.

"I do?" She asked cautiously.

"You're that little girl that follows Darkwing everywhere. His fan club president right?"

"Ummm…..sure"

"GREAT! I need to talk to him."

"Is that why you saved me?"

"Honestly I saved you're duffle bag, they probably were gonna run off once they had it."

"Well thanks, where are you're friends?"

"The Five? That's why I need to talk to Darkwing; their in trouble and I can't go save them because I would jeopardize the world."

"So you need Darkwing to go save the Fearsome Five?"

"Yeah!"

"This is going to go over well."

"Huh?"

"Nothing. I need a phone. I have to call my dad; he knows how to contact Darkwing."

"Cool! There's a phone at my place, just remember to ask its permission before you use it."

"What?...ok…"

The two began to walk. The girl didn't want to go with the villain, but he served as a temporary body guard. Darkwing would probably hear him out, but weather he helped him or not was another question.

Megavolt looked down, "By the way, I've never known you're name?"

"It's Gosylan, Gosylan Mal……" She was cut off by a near by fire hydrant bursting through the air. Water pored out, high into the air.

Megavolt gave a quick jump back so not to get wet, and then he heard a very familiar voice.

"Tired of traveling on foot? Try the trans America pipeline system, The Liquidator knows no better!" And then he appeared from the water. A dog made entirely of water.

"LIKI! You're back"

"Buy one super villain, get anther free. Negaducks back too."

"The boss?"

"He contacted me yesterday, told me make it back here. We're regrouping at the hideout in a half hour, he should already be there, now that I think about it."

"No way! Steelbeak attacked, he has QJ and Bushroot"

"Then the boss will deal with it."

Just then Gosylan spoke up. "So I guess you won't need Darkwing then?"

Liquidator gave a double take. This was the little girl that always helped out that crime fighting menace. "Four of Five dentists agree, little girls should know when to keep quite!" He then reached out his hand and drenched her with water. The pressure started to build and Gosylan began to drown.

"STOP IT LIKI!"

Liquidator shut off the flow, "Is the Megavolt going soft?"

"No! We might need Darkwing, and it wont do us any good if we drown his fan club president."

"Megavolt will go with door number one, and play babysitter trying to find Darkwing. And the Liquidator will go with door number two and find the boss on his own."

And with that, the Liquidator jumped into the air and became a puddle of water, directing himself back into the hydrant. He was gone as fast as he came.

Gosylan shivered, the cold air chilled the water covering her. Liquidator had also gotten all her duffle bag wet, so changing her clothes was out of the question. Megavolt looked down to the cold wet child, and something started tugging at his conscience, at least what was left of one.

"You need to get inside; my place is right up this way. Come on." Megavolt walked faster, leading Gosylan to place that was hopefully warmer.

Morgana and Gizmoduck had finally settled on a place to eat. They had been searching all night and now all day, with almost no nutrition. It was an old sit down India restaurant, not the fanciest, but nicer than fast food. Gizmoduck had suggested it because they had a special menu that served exotic things like goat brains and insects, stuff Morgana liked. This was only requested items, and no where on the menu.

Gizmoduck had changed back into Fenton so not to be disturbed while he was resting. The two of them had decided it would best to rest for an hour or so, to get back their strength.

"This place is very musty, almost ancient. I like it." Morgana said as she ate her meal.

Fenton had settled on a traditional Kabob Plate, all he really cared about was protein. "I knew you'd like it. Mr. McDuck took me here once while we were in town for a stock holder's meeting."

"How is your job going by the way?"

"Ohh…Can't complain, I work two jobs from the same boss. I'm saving up so I can buy Ma'ma a TiVo for her birthday."

"I've never met your mother."

"You should, she loves the horror channel….ooo…sorry Morg." Fenton said without even thinking. He was expecting a lightening bolt or something, at least that's what she always did to Wingy when he said something without thinking.

But instead of lightening, Morgana laughed. Fenton feeling uncomfortable all of a sudden, decided to change the subject, "So how are you and Wingy doing these days?"

"Better than ever, Gosylan actually asked me to go with her to a mother/daughter talent show. We're planning on a magic act."

"Wow, you guys are serious then."

"I like to think so, but Dark does keep his guard up for some reason. I think deep down he still doesn't know what to make of my criminal record."

"But you've changed. You're a member of the Justice Ducks."

"It's hard to explain, it's like he's afraid to let me in. He's protecting his true self from something. And it's not just me; he does it with Launchpad and even you too. Gosylan is the only exception, but she's his daughter, I can't be jealous of her.

"Something had to have happened for him to be like that, something that hurt him so much only a spirited 9 year old girl could break through the barrier he put up."

"Maybe it has something to do with Megavolt's dream?"

"Maybe, but if that's the case then we'll never know. We have to find Megavolt before he find's Drake."

"So what's the plan then?"

"We finish eating, I front the bill, and we continue searching."

"Neither of us has slept in 24 hours Fenton."

"We'll keep going tonight, if by morning, there is still no sign of the Electro rodent, then you can sleep in the morning, while I continue searching. Then we switch in the afternoon and both continue at night."

"You really care about him don't you…?"

"I may completely disagree with is crime fighting style, but he's a great hero, and deserves respect. If he finds out Megavolt is this Elmo, his long lost friend….well I can only imagine the turmoil that will go through him. As a fellow superhero, I would much rather he avoids it at all cost."

"Gizmoduck…saving the world, one person at a time."

"I know no better way of doing it." Fenton looked down at his watch, "Gosh it's getting late, and we have to keep searching. It's almost nine."

"Nine? Oh….I knew I forgot something…."

"What?'

"I had a date with Dark."

"He might get suspicious, you should call him, my gizmosuit has a phone."

The two heroes paid their bill and exited out the alley way. Fenton said his magic words and soon appeared once again as Gizmoduck. He pressed a button and a phone ejected from the suit.

Morgana quickly dialed Drake house line…."It's not picking up, it sounds like its busy. Let me try the tower…" Again nothing. "Something's wrong."

"Hold on, he has a line in is motorcycle…"Giz dialed it in and gave the phone back to Morgana. To her relief it picked up.

"Dark?"

"Yes Morg? I can't really talk right now."

This angered her. "YOU NEVER HAVE TIME TO TALK! Where are you? Have you forgotten about our date? AGAIN?"

Giz thought that moment to speak up. "But Morg didn't you forg…" He stopped when he saw her face. "Nothing, never mind."

Darkwing heard someone, "Is someone with you?"

"Uh…That was just Archie."

"Listen Morg, I'll make it up to you. Negaduck found out who I am, or I guess he always knew…"

"NEGADUCK….He's back?"

"Yeah, and he really wants to kill me. Anyway I lost track of time and forgot to get Gosylan from her game. I went to the school, but she wasn't there. I'm searching the city now. Launchpad is at home in case she heads that way."

"I just called there; the line was off the hook or something."

"LP was probably calling the police. Hey Morg I really need to focus here, and I'm really sorry."

"Dark, she's you're baby girl. Where are you, maybe I can help."

"Going through the old warehouse district now, looks like there was a fire or something."

"I'll meet up with you, and I'll bring a friend."

She hung up the phone. Giz spoke, "I thought we didn't want him to know I was here."

"Gosylan is missing."

"Little Gizmo Buddy's in danger, not on Gizmoduck's watch. Come on, hop on." Giz held out his hand, indicating to her to climb. She did and gripped the back of the suit and she speed off, unaware and not really interested that they were going to be passing by the city's lighthouse.
