The St. Canard Police Department arrived on the scene at the power plant to find an unconscious Electra lying on the floor in a puddle of water beside the turbines.
Not knowing what to make of her unconscious state but recognizing her as one of the 3 escaped villains from the other week, the other 2 having been Megavolt and Quackerjack, they decided to arrest her.
After summoning the department medic to examine her and checking her voltage levels which registered a very low 1.2 volts, the SCPD (St. Canard Police Department) cuffed her unconscious form and transported her to the station where they placed her in a holding cell.
Noticing that for some unknown reason the cameras in holding weren't working, they placed a guard on a chair outside of her cell.
The cops in the precint didn't know it but while she was in the presence of electricity, Electra's body was slowly recharging for the residuals traveling through the air around her, regaining SOME of her strength back, though not nearly enough to do anything with, let alone use for attempting an escape.
Electra stirred and woke up. The officer guarding her noticed and called his superiors to tell them she was awake. She was wanted for questioning about her prior crime with Megavolt and Quackerjack and for questioning about the escape.
Electra WAS awake, but she wasn't really aware of anything going on around her. She was still trapped inside her head with a flood of flashback images and memories bombarding her. She was completely oblivious to her surroundings.
Electra was escorted under heavily armed guard to interrogation where the police proceeded to bombard her with questions she wouldn't answer for them. They thought she was just being stubborn. In reality she wasn't even listening to them. She was totally absorbed in the memories assailing her. She couldn't have answered them even if she had wanted to. Lost inside her own memories she might as well have still been unconscious, she was that oblivious to everything else around her.
Finally getting fed up and frustrated that they were getting no where with their interrogation, the cops roughly dragged her back to holding and threw her back into the cell where she fell roughly against the cot hitting her head. She wasn't knocked out but the blow jarred her enough to bring her consciousness back to reality and she suddenly realized she was in a holding cell.
Electra shook her head roughly, trying to clear her thoughts. Half formed memories still dancing in front of her minds eye.
Noticing the guard Electra said "Don't I get one phone call here or something?"
The cop on the chair outside her cell grumbled something.
Electra didn't quite catch What he said. Electra asked again "Where's my one phone call?"
The guard grumbled something again, and again Electra missed what he said, but this time the guard called up and told his supervisors she was requesting her one phone call. After his supervisors confirmed she still had her right to a phone call, not having made her one call yet, the guard dragged her roughly from her cell and took her to a pay phone and gave her a quarter for it.
Electra dug into her pockets and came up with a card with a phone number on it. It was Negaduck's private number, a number to only be used in a dire emergency under pain of death. Electra wasn't sure if this situation qualified as dire under pain of death or not but she had no one else she could call so she rang the number.
The phone rang. Negaduck answered with a harsh angry growl "What!".
As soon as Negaduck had answered Electra said "Boss I'm in Jail"
Negaduck growled into the phone on his end of the line "Stay right there!" and hung up. Stay right there? Stay right there? Electra thought. What the heck does he mean Stay right here? Wasn't he going to get her out?
Unfortunately before she could dial out again the cop dragged her back bodily to the holding cell and threw her in it again.
Moments later a harsh voice growled through the barred window to her "Get down! Now!"
She didn't know what was up, but she had a keen instinct for survival. Electra dove for cover. Whatever was about to go down, her instincts kicked in and she dove to the ground as far from the outer wall as she could get and covered her head with her arms for protection.
With a loud roar and a cloud of flying dust, rocks and debris rained down as the outer wall of the cell exploded. As it did so it some of the debris knocked the guard on the chair outside the cell unconscious.
Electra lifted her head and blinked dust out of her eyes. Standing outside the cell in the alleyway was the boss, Negaduck, his motorcycle Troublemaker beside him. "Are you just going to stand there all day?!" Growled Negaduck. "Get a move on!"
Electra didn't have to be told twice. Hopping up from where she had taken cover, Electra dashed out of the cell through the now obliterated wall into the alleyway. Then she hopped onto Troublemaker behind Negaduck and faster then you could blink they took off, escaping the wrath of the law having just committed a successful jail break.
"So what happened? Where are the rest of those knobs? How come you were the only one in jail?" asked Negaduck angrily when they had gotten back to the warehouse hideout.
Electra wasn't sure exactly what had happened and certainly didn't know what had happened after she had passed out, but she related what she did know to Negaduck as quickly as she could.
"So Darkwimp's off after those knobs again. We'll soon fix that. Get your battery pack and lets go get those knobs before Duncewing does or he'll ruin everything I have planned" Growled Negaduck.
"But I hate that thing" whined Electra "It's heavy".
About two weeks ago Megavolt andc Negaduck had determined that the best way to be sure Electra didn't discharge too much energy and endanger her own existence was for her to wear a battery just like Megavolt wore. She hadn't liked it and had refused to wear such a big one. Instead she had chosen one after having been pretty much made aware that she didn't have a choice it in the matter, it was get a battery or face Negaduck's chainsaw. She had chosen to wear a big square blocky battery that might have come from a car. It wasn't as big as Megavolt's battery but it DID hold more juice then his when fully charged. Technology had advanced a bit since he had made his own battery choice years before. Her square battery wasn't light it was true but it was lighter then Megavolt's. Still she hated to wear it. Her real reason, one she would never share with the other villains was that she thought it ruined the look of her outfit since it WAS such an ugly accessory. Knowing that complaining it looked ugly though would not go over with the guys since guys weren't as a general rule fashion conscious even if they were supervillain, she had decided instead to comnplain it was too heavy. And because she didn't like it, when ever she could she tried to avoid wearing it. She had managed to avoid wearing it to the powerplant because in all the rush to obey Negaduck's orders her companions had forgotten to insist she wear it. It was a lucky thing she hadn't been wearing it. When she had shorted out, who knows what could have happened to the battery she kept telling herself. Truth was though it probably would have held enough energy even after the discharge that she wouldn't have passed out, since it did have a waterproof casing on the outside of it. But she hadn't been wearing it and the results had been the failed takeover and her subsequent arrest.
"I am not going to risk having you run out of juice sparkler. Now get it before I get mad!" growled Negaduck angrily.
Electra knew better then to argue so she strapped on her battery. It was a square battery that looked like it had come from a car motor. Electra didn't know how they were supposed to find Dorkwing or the others, but she trusted Negaduck would be able to figure out his doubles mind and figure out where he was at.
Seeing she was ready and had her battery on now, Negaduck growled "Come on. Lets go!" and headed out the door back to the Trouble maker. Electra followed him out the door.
Meanwhile...
Darkwing and Launchpad were running for their lives. Every single plant and every single electronic device in St. canard SEEMED to be after them and attacking them. Bushroot kept trying to reach out to strangle them with his arms as he pursued them. Megavolt kept shooting volts of electricity at them strong enough to melt steel, which those volts were actually doing every time they missed and hit something other then Darkwing or Launchpad instead. Quackerjack kept throwing deadly toys at them. They kept having to dodge exploding jacks, machete wielding yo-yo's and circular saw wielding Frisbees, and other deadly things as Quackerjack unloaded his arsenal of toys at them.
Speeding up for a moment in desperation, Darkwing and Launchpad managed to get out of the villains sight for a moment and quickly ducked into an alleyway to hide as the villains sped past them.
Launchpad managed to gasp out "Boy DW what's gotten into them? Why are they trying to kill us?"
Knowing they had little time before Bushroot's plants set the villains back on their trail again Darkwing said "I have no idea Launchpad. Maybe we'd better get to Morgana's. Maybe she'll know what set them off".
"Good idea DW maybe she can hide us in another dimension until things cool down a bit too" said Launchpad. He hated the thought of going to Morgana's and definitely didn't want anything to do with her magick but they couldn't keep running forever. If they kept this up they'd either get caught by the villains and get killed or they'd die of a heart attack trying to keep ahead of them.
Darkwing took a quick peek out of the alleyway to make sure it was safe. Then the two of them began to run as fast as they could for Morgana's hoping they could get there before the villains could catch up to them and kill them.
