Episode 4: Meleonly of the Sea Serpent

Darkwing's POV

It was a miserable rainy day; a day that Morganna would have claimed as blessfully miserable. I could still see her smile and how beautiful she looked in her red dress.

True, at sometimes she could be creepy, but she was the best girlfriend I have ever had. Ok, techinally she's the only girlfriend I've ever had but what's your piont?

The fact was that she was gone, gone forever, and I would never ever see her again. There were few mourners because I never wanted the funeral to be advertised. It was just me, Gossalyn, Launchpad, and Morganna's father.

We all weeped over Morganna's death, and I tried to explian how Morganna died as best I could without mentioning Mystella.

That dark witch destroyed Morganna while I was to broken to even move a single muscle. Our relationship never got to move to the next step because of Mystella.

No, because of me. I could have easily busted out of those chains and saved Morganna from this fate, but was to depressed to lift a finger to help. Some superhero I am. No powers, no pride, and now no girlfriend.

Mystella's body had not been found and particaully I didn't care if it ever was. Morganna's father was solemn. I guess there are sometimes when Morg's family realized there were some moments not worth enjoying.

Noone really wants to die. Our instincts to survive won't allow it. After the last rose was set on Morganna's gravestone I finally left.

At the Ratcatcher a message of a villianous enmey was waiting for me. Just another nail dug into the coffin I had been making in my mind.

Normal POV

Megavolt was at it again. The villianous fiend was at the...convient store? Why in the world would Megavolt be robbing an ordinary covient store?

"That'll be $53.96 Mr. Megavolt sir," said the groccer.

"Oh, here you go," said Megavolt handing over the cash and picked the two brown bags waiting for him on the he turned to head for the door Darkwing was in his veiw.

"Darkwing" said Megavolt with mallice in his voice "what are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing," said Darkwing staring at the bag of groceries the supervillian had just bought.

"Why should you care?" said Megavolt "you nearly killed Saphire! Now get out of my way before you become a deep fried duck,"

"Who's Saphire?" asked Darkwing clearly confused.

"Don't play dumb with me" said Megavolt "Saphire's my girlfriend and you nearly killed her,"

"What!" shouted Darkwing "I did no such thing!"

Megavolt would hear no more and zapped Darkwing with at least ten kilowats of energy. Caught off guard Darkwing was flung through a wall and out onto the streets. Megavolt proceeded without further pursuit.

"What's going on here?" said Darkwing brushing himself off after Megavolt left "it's like everywhere I turn distater strikes. First Morganna, and now Megavolt? Was I sleep villianing?"

Riding back to Automan Bay Bridge Darkwing settled down under the covers of the bed he hardly ever used.

"Launchpad will make sure Gossalyn will stay out of trouble" mumbled Darkwing "plus, I'm to tired to move,"

In just a few moments Darkwing Duck was asleep, but it didn't take long for someone to come and wake him up. Without warning a blast of water was sprayed in Darkwing's face jolting the duck awake.

"Well about time you got up" came the familar voice of Neptuna " you're the last person I would ever call for help but I have no choice,"

"What do you want?" said Darkwing " can't you see I'm trying to sleep here?"

"Look Pops" said Neptuna pulling Darkwing's face close to hers "I have a sea monster problem and if you care for this city so much you're gonna help me get rid of it!"

"And how" said Darkwing " am I supposed to do that?"

"Hang on tight sonny boy," said Neptuna throwing Darkwing out the tower window and into the bay. She soon followed after.

Darkwing came sputtering out of the water gasping for air, his eyes glaring at Neptuna.

"In case you haven't noticed" said Darkwing "I can't breathe under water!"

"You surface dwellers are such wimps," said Neptuna giving out a low whistle.

An red octopus suddenly popped out of the water and swam over to Neptuna waiting for orders.

"Hey Al" said Neptuna "do me a favor and get this guy a breathing collar alright,"

The octopus nodded and dived back underneath the water. A few minutes later the octopus surfaced with a yellow circle clutched in one of his eight arms, presenting it to Darkwing.

"What do I do with this?" said Darkwing.

"Put it around your neck" said Neptuna " and follow me,"

Darkwing put the collar around his neck and dived after Neptuna. The breathing collar worked to perfection Darkwing could breath underwater as well as talk.

"This thing's amazing" said Darkwing " this is definately going on my Christmas list next year,"

"Stop doddling and follow me," said Neptuna signaling for Darkwing to hurry up.

Darkwing swam after Neptuna until a stunning sight caught his eyes. Just ahead was a beatiful white city with millions of fish swimming in and out of it's stones.

"Wow" said Darkwing "what is this place?"

"I guess you land dwellers would call it Atlantis," said Neptuna.

"Atlantis!" yelled Darkwing "you live in the lost city of Atlantis! But it was just a myth,"

"Shh!" said Neptuna "the monster will hear you and...,"

But Neptuna's warning came to late and a stream of green and orange flame shot striaght at them. Dodging as fast as he could underwater Darkwing barely missed being scorched by the underwater flame.

"Alright, who did...," Darkwing stopped as he got a look at who shot the flame.

A gaint, black reptile with yellow eyes and red claws stared him in the face. Some sort of pendant was hanging around it's neck, engulfing the creature with an eerie purple light.

"That's your sea monster!" said Darkwing " why didn't you just call the Navy to help take him down?"

"He's wearing some kind of power pendant allowing him to cause destruction here" said Neptuna " I don't know how he got it, all I now is Bubba turned into one nasty sea demon,"

"Bubba?" said Darkwing "what kind of name for a dragon is Bubba?"

"Just get the pendant!" shouted Neptuna.

Darkwing sped towards the angry sea dragon dodging carefully to miss its flame. But as he inched closer and closer the dragon swept Darkwing up with his tail and wound up the superhero tight.

Darkwing was just inches away from Bubba's gaint jaws with the pendant glowing just out of reach on the dragon's neck.

"Hmph landdwellers" said Neptuna blowing a distress call which attracted Al the octopus "blind 'im Al,"

Al obeyed Neptuna's instructions and wrapped his tentacles around Bubba's face. The sea dragon cried out with surprise and loosened his grip on Darkwing.

Seeing his chance Darkwing snatched the pendant off the dragon's neck and quickly swam back towards Neptuna. The dragon's color slowly began to revert back to it's orginal emerald-blue scales and peaceful yellow eyes.

Al let go of the Bubba's snout, gave a salute to Darkwing and Neptuna, and swam off. Bubba almost crushed Darkwing with a greatful hug, but after that experince with pain was over Darkwing turned to Neptuna.

"What do you want to do with this?" asked Darkwing.

"Take it away from here" said Neptuna " there's no room for trouble in my ocean,"

"Okay" said Darkwing putting the pendant in his suit " now how am I supposed to get back home?"

"Oh Bubba!" yelled Neptuna calling the sea dragon over.

Gripping Darkwing once agian in his tail Bubba shot the masked mallard straight out of the water and beyond Automan Bay Bridge making the duck lose the breathing collar Neptuna gave him.

Meanwhile some distance away, a dark figure stood watching Darkwing's flight.

"Mystella's spell worked to perfection on that sea dragon" said Darkwarroir " and now that Darkwing has the pendant in his possession my reign of terror shall finally begin,"
