It was a quiet night as the Ratcatcher raced through the streets. Megavolt hadn't said anything since they left lighthouse and that had been a couple of hours ago. Darkwing couldn't think of anything to say. Suddenly an instrument on DW's motorcycle started making noise. Darkwing was glad to hear it. He wanted to do some good tonight and get his mind somewhere else. Megavolt just looked so depressed.
Darkwing turned a corner and sped up as they approached a museum with a van parked out front. He pulled up next to it and stopped. "This shouldn't take long." He told Megavolt as he jumped off his bike and ran past the van.
Megavolt watched him until he disappeared behind the building. He didn't hear anything for a while and after getting bored, he climbed out of the sidecar and walked over to the van. He peered into the back window and saw a bunch of paintings. That was about the time he heard glass shattering from behind him.
Darkwing had been knocked out a first story window and was now lying on the sidewalk. Megavolt took a few steps forward so he could see better in the darkness. The streetlamps didn't shine too far down the alleyway next to the museum. Megavolt stopped when he saw something else fly out the window; it looked like a cat with a propeller on its head. Then out of the window came these two little pumpkins that were barking like dogs. One ran at Darkwing and the other took off towards Megavolt.
Megavolt was startled at the sight and quickly turned to run. Forgetting how close he was to the Ratcatcher, he ran right into the motorcycle. He clambered up on to the seat, grabbed his electrogun and started shooting. The sparks that zapped from the gun were extremely weak since it had been so long since he recharged his battery. The little pumpkin dog showed no signs of slowing and just as it leapt into the air to attack, Megavolt heard Darkwings voice from behind it.
"Eat turpentine, you misguided miscreants of art!" The boom of the gas gun echoed as some kind of cartridge blasted out of it. The little pumpkin dog melted in midair and before Megavolt could breathe a sigh of relief he felt electricity shoot painfully through his body. It was a short burst after being hit with some of Darkwing's turpentine but Megavolt could feel that what was left of his power had been zapped from him.
"What's the big idea?!" he yelled as Darkwing skidded to a stop in front of him. Before Darkwing could answer, they heard the door of the van slam shut. The van peeled away from the front of the museum and Darkwing dove into the sidecar since Megavolt still sat on the main seat.
"After her! Hurry up!" Darkwing yelled at a stunned Megavolt. He hadn't planned on being involved, particularly from this side of things. But even surprising to himself, Megavolt revved the engine and stomped on the gas pedal. The Ratcatcher raced after the van, catching up in no time.
"What now?!" Megavolt yelled over the roar of the engine and the wind.
"Just get me close enough to jump!" Darkwing yelled back.
"You're crazier than me!" Megavolt couldn't help but laugh at what he thought would surely turn out to be painful for Darkwing. Nevertheless he inched the Ratcatcher closer to the side of the van and before he knew what happened, Darkwing had leapt from the sidecar onto the top of the van. He let the wind slide him backwards until he reached the back edge of the roof. Megavolt watched as he half-jumped and half-fell off the back and grabbed the door handle as he went down. The door flew open and he flung himself inside. It just amazed Megavolt how everything always seemed to work out to in his favor.
Megavolt couldn't see what was going on inside the van but after a moment it started to swerve and Megavolt ended up on the sidewalk momentarily to dodge it. Then suddenly the van hung a sharp left and flipped on its side right in front of the Ratcatcher. Megavolt stomped on the brake and the motorcycle came to a stop only a few feet from the underside of the van.
From the passenger side window, out jumped Darkwing dragging Splatter Phoenix behind him. "The mighty masked mallard triumphs again!"Darkwing stood heroically with his cape blowing behind him. He looked down at Megavolt with a very proud smile on his face. Megavolt just stared up at them and though his face never gave it away, he was actually a little impressed.
Darkwing handcuffed Splatter and put her into the sidecar. He climbed up on the seat behind Megavolt and said "Alright, head to the police station." Megavolt did as he was told and without much thought but on the way he noticed Splatter looking at him with a look of disgust. When they arrived DW pulled her out and as he dragged her up the stairs, Megavolt saw her looking at him again. Just as they got to the double doors, Megavolt read her lips, traitor.
