Episode 7: Prisoner of A Dark Rage
"This is the only thing a gas gun is good for," said DarkWarrior a.k.a Darkwing, shooting it at the Fearsome Five.
Blue smoke started to fill the entire room, making the Fearsome Five cough for fresh air. Bushroot was finally able to get rid of the smog, by using his newly grown arms as rotors to blow it away.
NegaDuck looked to where Darkwing was standing earlier, only to growl in frustration when he saw the enemey was gone. The other members of the Fearsome Five grew worried, especially Quackerjack and Megavolt.
They had seen DarkWarrior Duck in action once before and knew what he was cable of. Now that the future DarkWarrior had suceeded in turning DarkWing Duck into DarkWarrior Duck, there would nothing left of the city but breadcrumbs.
"We're doomed!" cried Megavolt " who knows where he'll strike first?"
Megavolt's comment lit up a lightbulb in NegaDuck's brain, illuminating a shocking realazation. NegaDuck knew where DarkWarrior was going to strike first, and who he was going to meet when he got there.
Gossalyn and Launchpad haven't seen Darkwing since he left the house this morning. When it came close to nightfall the pair had grown worried for the disturbed superhero.
He always came home in time to tell Gossalyn to go to bed. But when he didn't show up around ten o'clock, both Gossalyn and Launchpad figured he must be sleeping at the hideout.
Taking a spin on the chairs Launchpad and Gossalyn reached the hideout in seconds and began searching for any signs of Darkwing Duck.
"Where could he be?" asked Gossalyn, when she and Launchpad didn't find anything.
"I'm right here," answered an eerie voice coming from the shadows.
Gossalyn and Launchpad turned to see a pair of glowing red eyes peering out of the darkness.
"Oh there you are Dw" said Launchpad with relief " me and Gos have been looking all over for ya. Where you been?"
"Preaparing for your funeral," growled DarkWarrior, finally stepping out the shadows, holding a new and improved gas gun.
Gossalyn and Launchpad backed up in fear. Both of them imediately knew what had happened. The DarkWarrior Duck from the future had succeeded in his goal. The amulet's spell was complete, transforming Darkwing into his evil alter-ego.
"With you two gone" said DarkWarrior, pointing the gun feature of his weapon at Launchpad and Gossalyn " nothing will stand in my way for achieving my destiny,"
"Wanna bet?" said NegaDuck, pouncing through a window, tackling DarkWarrior to the ground.
Both Launchpad and Gossalyn stood around confused as DarkWarrior and NegaDuck began to fight. How was Negaduck still alive? And why was he trying to protect them?
With a well placed web-kick NegaDuck sent DarkWarrior Duck flying towards the ThunderQuack. DarkWarrior smiled and slid into the piolit seat. A few push of some buttons and he was off.
Negaduck growled in dissappiontment at letting DarkWarrior slip through his fingers. Launchpad and Gossalyn ran over to thank NegaDuck.
"Don't count on it," said NegaDuck.
"That was Darkwing wasn't it?" asked Gossalyn.
"It was" said NegaDuck " DarkWarrior lured Darkwing into a trap and turned him into DarkWarrior. I don't know how. All I know I know is, we have to stop him,"
"The only way to that would to be to break the spell over DW," said Launchpad.
"Spell?" said NegaDuck confused.
"Yeah" said Gossalyn " that magic amulet DarkWarrior forced down Dad's throat. That's has to be the reason Darkwing suddenly turned evil,"
"To bad Morganna's not around anymore" said Launchpad " we could really use her help,"
"That's it Launchpad" said Gossalyn, suddenly getting an idea " Morganna's spellbook! I bet it can help us break the curse,"
"Well what are you waiting for, Christams?" said NegaDuck, getting on the Ratcatcher, which he took from the warehouse. "Let's go,"
With that Launchpad and Gossalyn hopped on board, and together the unlikely trio raced towards Morganna's house.
Sitting alone, in his office, at City Hall, the mayor was busy finishing up the last few scores of paperwork that he had piled on his desk when screams of terror from his staff had him running outside.
There, in the center of the lobby stood DarkWarrior Duck, his gas gun currently in flamethrower mode. DarkWarrior sported a wicked grin once he spotted the mayor.
Changing his gas gun to gun mode DarkWarrior stepped towards the mayor, making the old dog back up in fear.
"As mayor of " said the old dog, cowardly " I hereby command you to leave,"
"I'm afriad you won't be giving commands anymore," said DarkWarrior, and with a wicked grin pulled the trigger on his gun.
The whole city was in chaos once NegaDuck, Launchpad, and Gossalyn had just left Morganna's house with the counterspell. DarkWarrior had used some of the money stashed away in the city treasury, and modified the ThunderQuack into a deadly aeiral assualt vechicle.
It's red paint had coated over with black, and it's once blue windows were now as red as DarkWarrior's eyes. Missles launched from the new ThunderQuack tearing the city apart.
The Fearsome Five were actually helping people get to safety. Quackerjack and Megavolt were working together to keep the missles from reaching the ground, while rest led the people away.
"We got to get him down here" said Gossalyn " we can't reverse the spell if he can't hear us,"
"I'll get him down" said NegaDuck, then shouted to Megavolt " Hey Sparky! Shoot out his engines and bring him down!"
"With pleasure," said Megavolt, and shot a beam of electrical enegry right at the ThunderQuack.
DarkWarrior saw the bolt coming his way and tried to manuver, but was to slow to prevent the electrical blast from knocking out one of his engines.
"Curses," said DarkWarrior, as the ThunderQuack crashed onto the ground.
Jumping out the cockpit, DarkWarrior pointed the triple missle feature of his gun at NegaDuck, Launchpad, Gossalyn, MegaVolt, and Quackerjack.
"One wrong move" DarkWarrior growled " and you're toast,"
Before the villian had a chance to carry out his threat however, vines sprouted from the ground and wound around his body, making him unable to move.
"What!" shouted DarkWarrior, dropping his gun.
His red eyes glared at Bushroot and Liquidinator who had just returned after escorting everyone out of the city. Bushroot grinned, commanding his plants to hold DarkWarrior tight.
"If there ever were time it is now," said Gossalyn, running up.
Working fast Gossalyn chanted the spell she and the others had found in Morganna's spellbook, hoping againist all hope that it would work. DarkWarrior struggle became still, the amulet residing his stomach broke.
A glowing, hot, red light surrounded DarkWarrior, burning his binds. As soon as the light faded, everyone was staring at the unconious form of DarkWing Duck, back to his normal self.
"Well that's a relief," said Quackerjack.
"What do we do now Boss?" Bushroot asked NegaDuck as Launchpad and Gossalyn walked over to Darkwing " do we finish the job ?"
"Not today" said NegaDuck " let's just go home,"
With that Fearsome Five walked away, while Launchpad and Gossalyn loaded the unconious Darkwing into the Thunderquack and flew back home.
