"So I guess this means you really are on my side." Darkwing murmured as Arthur was tied back to back with him, on the roof, nearby the machine and the rain having started to become really heavy so it splashed down on the two ducks and all of the Eggmen, only Taurus Bulba keeping seemingly dry as he stood under a large umbrella.
"Yeah.. hallo again." he murmured. "I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?" Darkwing asked. "For taking my daughter, for being captured, for being associated with Taurus Bulba, could you be more specific?" he asked a little annoyed.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help more." Arthur sighed. "I tried to get Gosalyn out, I really did, but it was her who refused.. I don't know where she is right now."
"Wait a minute." Darkwing's head snapped up. "Bulba doesn't have her?" he asked.
"No, not for a good amount of time." Arthur told. "Or.. I think, she might have been captured now."
"Oh so that's why we haven't moved on at all!" Darkwing grumped. "Oh I should have known, I should have! but look at me! always taking the stupid route!"
"What do you mean?" Arthur asked.
"I could have gotten out of this at any-time, anytime at all!" Darkwing told. "I was just waiting for Bulba to hand over Gosalyn and then sneak away behind his back! but if Bulba didn't even have her." Darkwing gnarled. "But now he does you say, well hurrah."
"I'm not that sure that he does." Arthur hesistated. "I mean, she isn't here is she? he would have gloated as soon as he found her.. did you bring someone to help?" he asked. "She was with some.. weird looking duck, he didn't look like any F.O.W.L. agent I would know of."
Darkwing sighed, a loong deep breath of relieve. "All that stuff I have said about Giz being useless, I'll take it all back."
"Who?" Arthur asked.
"Gizmoduck." Darkwning murmered. "But just so you know, he is a very arrogant bumbling individual who shouldn't be in the hero business at all."
"Ah." Arthur responded, not really knowing what else to say, before finally asking. "Is Gosalyn always this much trouble?"
"Yeas." Darkwing responded. "Sometimes i've genuinly considers putting her in a leash, just for one night so I know she won't suddenly end up somewhere weird."
"As a top secret F.O.W.L. agent meeting." Arthur murmered. "Gaining information that puts her in mortal peril, and then she just stands there with her big eyes saying she didn't mean it to be so dangerouse."
"She only wanted to help." Darkwing continued.
"And you try very hard to keep on reprimand her." Arthur added.
"But it's just too hard."
Both ducks sighed deeply.
"Little girls are nothing but trouble!" Darkwing stated annoyed. "Trouble trouble trouble! they just own you, there is nothing to do."
"Agreed." Arthur said in a silent voice, his eyes looking empty downwards as the heavy rain dripped down in his hair, he looked like a broken man.
"Hey, don't look like that." Darkwing grumbed annoyed. "we are hardly done yet."
"What if I never see her again." Arthur interrupted Darkwing. "What if it's all my fault that she's down there, hiding somewhere in the building, all alone.. and when i'm gone.. they have no use for her more, then it's just easier." he choked. "what would happen? I want to see her." he stated.
Darkwing blinked sadly, he didn't know what to say to that.. he was a lot of things, but liar was differently not one of them.
"You there!" an Eggmen came towards the two bound ducks. "Up on your feet's."
"Which one of us?" Darkwing asked.
The Eggman didn't answer but simply cut the surprised Arthur free.
"So Professor Waddlemeyer." Taurus Bulba came walking towards them, his umbrella firmly in place. "I got a last surprise for you."
Arthur furrowed his brows. "I doubt it could be any-thing I want." he mumbled bitterly.
"Oh." Bulba asked. "We shall see." and he stepped aside to reveal miss Kyle, holding tight a struggling little red-haired girl with to big front teethes.
Arthurs eyes widened in shock and surprise. "GIGI!" he exclaimed loudly.
"DAD!" Gigi looked up, and then punched Miss Kyle in the chest with her Albove so Kyle lost her air and had to let go.
"GIGI!" Arthur was blind at the moment and didn't care was in his way as he pushed himself past Taurus Bulba and skidded down on his knee with open arms to have Gigi jump straight into them. And Arthur clutched her tightly. "My girl, my little girl!" he cried freely. "Oh I was so worried!"
"Daddy!" Gigi also cried as she clutched him tight that it was a given she stayed in the position as he stood up, holding her as if he was never going to let go. "Dad I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were here!"
"It's all right, it's all right, remember, as long as we have each other it's all right." he swayed from side to side, clutching his little daughter tight.
There was no arguing that Darkwing Duck was the jalouse type, many times in his life had he been almost literately green with envy, but nothing came even close to the amount of envy he felt right at that moment watching the father and daughter clinging together in front of him, it was even worse as he could just fell that hole inside of him longing for his own daughter to appear, and yet his face faltered into regret by the sight, and even worse as the looming shadow of the giant bull, standing right above them and the pair didn't even realize, but two hands grasped them and violently tried to rip them apart.
"NO!" Arthur called out. "Don't take her! I'll do anything!" he begged as he tried to hold on.
"Don't let go dad!" Gigi tried to hold on.
"I like to finish what I started." Bulba started as he with one last rip pulled Gigi out of her father's arms holding her an arm's reach away so it was impossible for Arthur to reach her, though he did try. "I never liked any of you Waddlemeyers."
"GIGI!" Arthur totally annoyed Taurus Bulba. "Don't be scared! don't be."
"Listen when I speak!" Taurus Bulba annoyed roared grabbing Arthurs coat and pulled him up so their faces were only inches apart. "This is what you get when you betray me, and don't forget that!" he threw Arthur back to Darkwing. "Eggmen, bind him back."
Arthur did an pretty impressive job of struggling, but they were just to many. "You won't get away with it!" Arthur yelled towards Bulba. "If you crumble as much as a hair on my daughters head, I swear I'll." he angered.
"What he said!" Darkwing complied.
"Look at you two, it's so pathetic." Bulba looked down at them. "Don't you realize, I all ready won, there is no way you can recover for this."
"Mister Bulba!" the new arrivals called. "Look what we got!" Tuskernini, Splatter phoenix and Chameleon came with a helmet wearing duck. "I'm sorry Darkwing." the voice of Gizmoduck came from the helmet.
"Giz." Darkwing looked at him. "What about?" he looked at him.
Gizmoduck looked up at him, and then dropped his head shaking it. The look in Darkwings face absolutely defeated.
"The Mallard girl?" Bulba asked the villains.
"Fell." Tuskernini told. "Down a shaft, very tragic, but there wasn't anything we could do, we tried to go down and look at the remains, not a pretty sight, not pretty at all."
And it was not possible for Darkwing to look anyworse as his head dropped, the heavy rain falling all over him.
"Well I would have preferred him to watch." Bulba mussed. "But it sounds like a decent death, running from the fiends, what do you say little girl?" he asked Gigi who was dangling from his hand.
Gigi was not able to utter a word.
"Oh lets proceed." Bulba rubbed his hand. "Miss Kyle, would you please, ah winning is good! I really won, three times a charm wont you say Darkwing?" Bulba asked.
"Okay so you won." Darkwing said bitterly. "There is nothing you can do to make me fell worse, so go ahead."
"Wingy." Gizmoduck uttered. "Don't give up like this."
"Please don't." Arthur replied.
Gigi sniffed, clearly being so scared that so couldn't help crying.
Darkwing shook his head. "He won." he whispered. "There is nothing I can do."
"HAHAHA!" Bulba roared loudly. "Let's proceed with the plan now shall we?" he asked. "May I present." he gestured for Kyle, who pulled down a cloth. "Your perfect way to witness your city going under." he threw Gigi to Kyle who captured the girl. "Keep an eye on her on the trip will you?" Bulba asked. "Just so, if anyone tries to shoot us down, she goes down to." And then he opened his clock as he looked at it. "I'm afraid I am rather late for my own appointment with Canard city, but your view from here will be rather good, and oh, as we are done taking over the place you will be shot." he nodded at the Eggmen. "And so will you." he turned to Tuskernini, Chameleon and Splatter Phoenix.
"What!" Tuskernini asked. "Shoot us! you turn over ill." he raised his fist.
"You're are bumbling amatours the lot." Bulba shrugged. "You would only be in the way in the future." and he stepped up on the big gun with miss Kyle. "UP!" he called, suddenly four heavy propels to appear from the platform Big Daddy was standing on, and the whole thing lifted up in the air. "I won't ever be seeing you." he laughed all the way up, and he flew all the way out of sight.
"Darkwing." Arthur tried. "I'm so sorry, but please snap out of it, don't abandon my daughter, she's been waiting for so long."
Darkwing shook his head. "There's not much I can do, I have never admitted defeat before.. but."
"Then don't do it now!" Gizmoduck was by his side. "It's not over yet!"
"Exactly how isn't it over?" Darkwing asked.
"Well, I decided to go on a limp, be unpredictable, I'm at least as good as you." Gizmoduck answered.
Slowly Darkwing raised his head. "What?" he asked.
"So you were right." Tuskernini grunted. "The slime bucket was trying to kill us, ladies!" he gestured at his two companions. "The bull was not going to finance our movie, isn't it time for payback for that."
"Oh I think it is." Chameleon transformed into a large Gorilla.
"It's most differently is." Splatter phoenix had a pensel in each hand.
"HAHA!" Gizmoduck triumphed. "BLATHERING BLATERZKEIT!" he yelled with his hand in the air, a large rumble sounded from the suitcase by the door and through it came a very well known suit flying to place itself around Gizmoduck who easily ripped the rope around Arthur and Darkwing.
"It was a set-up!" Darkwing quawked. "GOSALYN!" he yelled. "Where is she."
"Urh. hehe." Gizmoduck scratched his neck. "She had some sort of idea of trying to sobatage big Daddy.
"Your serious?" Darkwing yelled. "She's up there with the cyborg?" he asked. "Man, it's time to get dangerous." he sat a front with the super villains and Gizmoduck up against the Eggmen. "So." he asked the Eggmen. "Wanna try your luck?"
The Eggmen looked at each other.. and then there was wild panick the men taking a run for it.
"Hah." Darkwing grinned. "Villains, cowards the whole lot."
"EXACTLY!" sounded Tuskernini's voice suddenly far above them, Darkwing looked up to see the new formly artist theme on a propel of their own howering over them. "I got two strong lovely ladies with me now, what more could you possible want."
"WE ARE GOING TO HOLLYWOOD!" Chameleon shrieked in delight her arm up in the air. "MAKING A NAME FOR OURSELF!"
"Showing the world that freaks are the only real sort of people." Splatter phoenix added. "Everyone else is empty, we show those regular people."
"Exactly my lovelies, exactly!" Tuskernini laughed. "See you on the silver screen!" he greeted Darkwing as the flew away.
"Well I suppose we can let them get away for now." Darkwing shrugged. "For we got bigger fish to catch."
"Are there any more propels around?" Gizmoduck asked looking around.
"We don't need that!" Darkwing stated. "Because we got something much better, OI LAUNCHPAD!" he yelled up in the air.
Gizmoduck and Arthur looked up to see the flying machine hover far above them.
"Hah! he's been hovering the last half hour, as I said, I could have made an escape a long time ago if I wanted." he grinned to Arthur as a long rope ladder dropped down.
Arthur starred at it. "We are supposed to climb on that?" he asked wide-eyed.
"Yeah, come on!" Darkwing pushed him up on it. "Your a Waddlemeyer are you not! Twenty meters on a rope ladder must be childs play for any Waddlemeyer."
Arthur swallowed and finally started to climb, with a determined look in his eyes, Darkwing right behind him.. Gizmoduck.. cheated again and used his own propel.
Finally all three ducks stumbled into the Quackerjack. "Good job Lp." Darkwing gasped for air.
Launchpad eyed Arthur. "Hey, isn't that the guy who?"
"Launchpad Arthur Waddlemeyer, Arthur Launchpad McQuack. And if anyone don't know that's Gizmoduck." Darkwing cut him off. "I think everyone have sort of met everyone around now haven't they?" he asked. "We are all on the same side." he at last assured.
"Pleased to met you." Launchpad greeted.
Arthur smiled vaguely raising his hand in greeting.
"Now Launcpad, follow that massive gun held up in mid-air!" Darkwing commanded.
"It's funny I have gotten that order more times in my profesional carrier than you should think." Launchpad amused shook his head. "On my way!" he steered the Thunderquack against east, and left the island far behind.
Arthur pressed his hands against the window looking wide-eyed at the island growing smaller and smaller, a smile spreading on his beak, the first genuine smile Darkwing had ever seen.
