Episode 6: DarkWarrior Reborn!

Two days after the warehouse's collaspe Darkwing had been in a sour mood. Just the slightest word could be spoken making him turn and give you a seething glare.

Gossalyn was deeply worried for her father's well-being. Thanks to that amulet Darkwarrior had forced down his throat Darkwing's evil side had turned agianist his good side, fighting for control.

For all that Gossalyn could see, the evil side must have been winning. Her dad was looking angrier and angrier by the second.

"I'm going out to foil some crime," Darkwing finally spoke, storming out of the room.

"Please let him be ok," pleaded Gossalyn to the sky, as the front door slammed closed.

Watching silently through a skylight, a figure covered in a torn brown blanket, looked down at the eerie figure of Darkwarrior Duck. The skylight slightly open so he could hear the villian as he mumbled below.

Darkwarrior had been busy working on some kind of clear, dome-like chamber. With four lightning chains carefully concealed in it's walls.

"The trap is set" grinned DarkWarrior " now all that remians is to lure Darkwing to me,"

The mysterious figure, watching from the roof, looked to the street and breathed a sigh of relief. No sign of Darkwing. Usually, the masked hero would cover the whole city in less than an hour.

"He must be on the Ratcatcher tonight," thought the cloaked figure.

Darkwarrior stood by a moment longer and admired his machine. Once he was done gawking, Darkwarrior walked out to carry on with his plan to capture Darkwing.

"No one destroys Darkwing except me you pale imintation" growled the cloaked figure as he watched Darkwarrior leave. "now that I know what you're planning, it should be simple to take you down. Once I call on the help of some old friends that is,"

Darkwing was about to give up this useless chase. He had been out here half of the night and had yet to see any sign of Darkwarrior Duck.

Stopping quick at the news stand Darkwing grabbed the evening paper and started to read the headlines. As expected the city was still talking about the mysterious explosion at Charlie's Ammunition Factory two nights ago.

Police had finally cleared away the wreckage and scanned the area for any survivors. Darkwing frowned both in disappiontment and confusion. The police reported finding no bodies at the scene.

"That's impossible" thought Darkwing " NegaDuck's body should be right there. We all saw him die,"

Yet as Darkwing read and reread the article again the statement remained the same; no bodies. Had NegaDuck survived?

"Hmph" said Darkwing, throwing away the newspaper " wouldn't put it past him,"

"Hey are you Darkwing Duck?" asked a kid, walking up to the superhero.

"I am" said Darkwing " want a autograph? I think I have some glossies in here somewhere,"

"Uh no" said the kid, pulling out a letter " a creepy man asked me to give this to you. See you around,"

Darkwing took the letter from the kid and glanced over it, wandering who it was from. His eyes widened in shock at first, then they narrowed in anger.

Dear Darkwing,

Looking for me? Well, why don't we settle the score in the old, abandoned warehouse on East Street. Come alone, if your brave enough to face me.

Sincerely,

DarkWarrior Duck

"Oh, I'm brave enough to face you alright," said Darkwing, hopping on the Ratcatcher and speeding towards the warehouse.

In about ten minutes Darkwing arrived at the warehouse DarkWarrior had said to meet. Lights were shining through the windows, so Darkwing knew someone was home.

"This has to be a trap" thought Darkwing " maybe I should call Launchpad for backup,"

He stopped his hand before it could push the button for the radio.

"No" said Darkwing " I can't drag them into this. DarkWarrior is my bad side, I'll handle him alone,"

With that thought in mind, Darkwing trudged into the warehouse, stopping in amazement when he saw a big circular area in the center of the floor.

Curious, Darkwing stepped in to examine the stucture. He had about reached the center of circle when an eerie laugh echoed throughout the building, stopping him in his tracks.

Suddenly, you could hear the sounds of gears whirring. Darkwing's eyes grew in fear as huge glass dome slid over the circular area he was in, trapping him inside.

Darkwing tried desperately to beat his way out of the dome, but all efforts were useless. The glass DarkWarrior had used for the dome was completely shatterproof.

Four hidden devices suddenly appeared inside the dome and took aim at Darkwing. Before the purple-clad duck had any chance to move striaght bolts of red lightning shot from the devices mouths and struck his body.

Darkwing Duck's screams could be heard all throughout that night as every wave of intense pain surged through his body. DarkWarrior stepped out from behind the controls and laughed at his past self's toture.

"Soon" said DarkWarrior " my destiny will be sealed,"

"The only thing I want to seal is your beak!" shouted out an unexpected voice.

DarkWarrior turned and glared when he saw NegaDuck and the rest of the Fearsome Five standing in the doorway. It was unknown to DarkWarrior how NegaDuck had managed to survive the ammunition factory collaspe, but that didn't matter now. There was no way DarkWarrior was going to let NegaDuck and his pathetic team ruin his future.

A silent shot rang off signaling the Fearsome Five and DarkWarrior Duck to charge each other. Quackerjack jumped over DarkWarrior's head, grabbing his hat.

Fuming at his lost possession DarkWarrior turned to face Quackerjack leaving him room to trip after Bushroot's plant arms circled around his legs.

Grabbing his modified gas gun, DarkWarrior activated the blade saw feature and sliced through Bushroot's arms. The plant villian yelled in pain when his arms were cut off, but since he was plant anyway, his limbs started to grow back.

Liquidinator jumped at DarkWarrior just as villian activated the gun feature on his weapon. However, thanks to Liquidnator's watery form, the bullets just zipped right through him.

The watery villian rained down on DarkWarrior with one big splash, leaving the villian soaking wet. Megavolt took this as his chance and threw a high-powered electrical bolt at the water, shocking DarkWarrior and leaving the villian unconious.

"I could use some help over here!" NegaDuck shouted, trying desperately to release Darkwing from his glass prison.

"One short circiut coming up," said Liquidinator, melting into the controls.

Several flying sparks later, the glass dome that surrounded Darkwing started to disappear and the devices that were causing him pain sunk back into the floor.

Bushroot and Quackerjack stood guard over DarkWarrior while the other three rushed over to Darkwing's side. Liquidnator splashed some cold water on Darkwing's face while NegaDuck and Megavolt held the injured hero steady.

Groggily the hero's eyes opened and moan escaped from his mouth. All of the Fearsome Five breathed a big sigh of relief. All that relief was erased however when DarkWarrior woke up and started to laugh.

"You're to late," said DarkWarrior.

"What's that supposed to mean?" said Quackerjack, then his eyes widened in surprise " hey, what's happening to him?"

DarkWarrior's body started to disappear, his form fading until he was no longer in the room. Once the villian was completely gone, Darkwing started to clutch his stomach, yelling in pain.

"What's happening?" shouted NegaDuck.

Darkwing stood up, walking around like he was in pain, hands never leaving his stomach. Finally with one great lurch Darkwing opened his eyes and relaxed. His voice was chortaling with dark laughter.

"I already told you" said Darkwing, his glowing red eyes glaring at the Fearsome Five " the future cannot be changed. This town shall soon bow down to its new master, DarkWarrior Duck!"
