A little Later
Bushroot approached the vault and tried the lock. "Locked" he said.
"Well Duh! Surveys say you're no Einstein bush brain. Of course it's locked! It's after hours and the bank is closed." said Liquidator in disgust. 'Reggi's not very bright for an ex-scientist mutant plant duck' he thought to himself. 'And to think HE"S the one with the degree. Sheesh'
Liquidator approached the vault's door. As soon as he got to it he slid his hand inside the door's locking mechanism. One of the advantages to being made of liquid was that he could slip himself in anywhere he wanted. As he put his hand inside the lock he turned it's tumblers. 52 right, 45 left, 52 right. The lock opened with an audible click. "Another satisfied customer" he said proudly as the door opened up.
Then the banks alarm went off. Liquidator must not have been careful enough unlocking the vault. He must have tripped the alarm.
"Oh oh. You've done it now Licky. Lets grab the loot and get out of here before..." said Bushroot. Before Bushroot could finish his sentence a cloud of blue smoke appeared.
"I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the combination lock that won't unlock. I am Darkwiiing Duck!" exclaimed the figure in the smoke.
"Too late."
Looking around for an escape route so as not to get arrested Bushroot spotted 2 spider plants hanging by the tellers cages. "Get him!" yelled Bushroot to the plants.
Meanwhile liquidator was having some problems. Darkwing had shot a gelatining agent into him with the gas gun and Liquidator was slowly congealing.
The spider plants grew and stretched out their leaves and their pups at Bushroot's command. They started attacking Darkwing and Launchpad giving Bushroot and Liquidator a free moment as their leaves and pups grabbed and squeezed Darkwing and Launchpad entangling the heroic duo.
Let's get out of here Licky, before Darkwing untangles himself" shouted Bushroot to the Liquidator.
"But the loot..." said Liquidator.
"Forget the loot! Let's get out of here" said Bushroot.
"The Boss won't like this" said Liquidator.
"The boss will like it even less if he has to break us out of jail." said Bushroot. "Cone on let's get going!" As soon as he had said this Bushroot bolted for the door. He didn't look back to see if Licky had followed. 'If the water dog was too stupid to leave that would be his problem.' Bushroot was out of there.
At the same time at another bank in St. Canard
Megavolt had shorted out the bank's main security system and now he and Quackerjack were approaching the vault.
"Not bad if I do say so myself" said Megavolt referring to how he had shorted out the bank's alarm system and opened the doors for the tow of them to enter. "Now for the vault".
"My turn" said Quackerjack.
"Not fair. You get all the fun" whined Megavolt.
"Do not."
"Do too"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Well you just blew the doors open and shorted out the alarms so now it's my turn" said Quackerjack.
"But Quackerjack..." whined Megavolt.
"It's plaaay tiiime!" shouted Quackerjack as he pulled out an exploding teddy bear. "Get back Megs" he said as he threw it against the vault door. As the bear hit the vault door it exploded in an immense display of pyrotechnics which rocked the whole building. The noise of the explosion was so loud it could probably have been heard all the way over to Duckburg.
"The vault door buckled with the force of the explosion and fell inward with a loud crash. Dust rose up in the air from the floor.
As the dust cleared, Quackerjack and Megavolt stared at the moneybags for a long moment. Then in savage glee they grabbed each other by the hand and began to dance around in Ecstasy singing "We're in the money" We're in the money"
Their excitement was broken when a voice called over a megaphone "This is the police. We have the place surrounded. Come out with your hands up."
"Now look what you did" Megavolt shouted at Quackerjack.
"What I did? What I did? You were the one who..." said Quackerjack.
"It's all your fault" Megavolt accused Quackerjack.
"Is not"
"Is too"
"Is not"
"Is too"
While they continued to argue neither one noticed as the police lobbed tear gas into the bank. Suddenly they found themselves crying.
"Aw I'm sorry Megs" sniffeled Quackerjack.
"I'm sorry too Quackerjack" sniffled Megavolt. "Dang tear gas. Lets get out of here Quacky"
"I'm with you...Sparky"
"DON'T CALL ME SPARKY!" yelled Megavolt.
The 2 villains looked around. There was no way out except through the door they came in.
"Got any chattering teeth?" asked Megavolt.
"Why of course Megsy allow me" said Quackerjack.
"It's plaaay tiiime!" shouted Quackerjack as he unleashed a barage of chattering teeth on the police. While he was doing this Megavolt shot bolts of electricity at them.
"Let's get out of here Quacky" said Megavolt.
"Right behind you Megs" said Quackerjack.
Then the 2 of them bolted from the bank, escaping without the money, while the police dodged Megavolts bolts of electricity and Quackerjack's toy teeth.
Simultaneously in a 3rd bank location
Negaduck and Electra were approaching the bank.
"OK sparkler show me what you've got. Get us inside pronto!" said Negaduck. He didn't like having to be calm and be halfway pleasant with her but he knew it was the best way to get her to show him what powers and skills she had that he could use to his advantage.
Electra walked up to the bank door and gave the doorknob a try. It was locked. Not wanting to disappoint her new employer who was actually seeming to accept her, and wanting to show what she could do she zapped the doorknob. The lock opened.
"Not bad kiddo. What else have you got?" Negaduck said. It had not escaped his notice that she had got them in without tripping the alarm. He thought back to Licky's speculation that her powers interfered with electronic devices. 'All the better for me if they really do interfere with electronics like Licky thought' he thought to himself.
"Can you use your magick to destroy the vault door?" asked Negaduck.
"Well I don't know. I can try" Electra said.
"Well?" said Negaduck tapping his foot impatiently.
"Well what?" asked Electra forgetting what she was supposed to do.
"Well use you're magick and destroy the vault door already" Negaduck growled at her.
Electra thought for a second. There WAS one spell she could try that might impress her new boss. 'But it almost never works and usually backfires on me' she thought. 'Still it's worth a shot. After all it could impress him even if it doesn't work' she thought 'especially since when it backfires thats spectacular too.'
Deciding to try the spell, Electra made a magick gesture and said "Destructo". As soon as she tried the spell the air began to vibrate. Then everything in the bank began to fly through the air and crash into every other thing and land on the floor in broken pieces. The chaos WAS spectacular. The vault door however remained intact.
"Is that the best you can do Sparkler?" growled Negaduck.
Electra decided to try again. 'After all, if at first you don't succeed try try again' she thought. With that she focused her attention on the bank vault door again. This time putting everything she had into it she pointed at the vault door and yelled "DESTRUCTO!". As she said this she unleashed the spell AND a bolt of electricity simultaneously. The effect was dramatic and sudden. The door shattered, billions of pieces flying everywhere.
"Well that was something. Alright sparkler now get the loot and lets get out of here" said Negaduck. He had to admit to himself he was impressed with all the destruction she had caused. But he wasn't about to let her know he was impressed. He had an image to keep up after all.
Carefully stepping over the metal shards that were now everywhere, Electra grabbed as much loot as she could carry. Then Negaduck grabbed some more. Struggling with the load they were carrying the two made it out of the door to Negaduck's motorcycle Trouble Maker and took off.
