Hello people! I am back and today's challenge was brought to you by Guest! But I will be changing it up a bit. So sit back, relax and enjoy another installment of Darkwing Villain Island!
Chapter 10: Rescue the Relatives!
Last time on Darkwing Villain Island…. Chef. That's right our dear Chef Hatchet was in charge of the last challenge! The villains had to go through grueling and torturous military challenges. During the challenges Negaduck decided to push Master Chief Hatchet to his breaking point and was force into isolation. Shocker. But what was a real shock was that Steelbeak had managed to get Ammonia to fall for him. Splatter had find out about Liquidator crushing on Bushroot and started using it as blackmail. And for some reason Megavolt was voted off! Confession Cam revealed that it was Splatter that tampered with the votes to make sure that she had an advantage over the Liquidator. But I mean really, was that necessary? Sending off Megavolt? Poor Quackerjack was utterly heartbroken afterwards, and the poor amnesic rat didn't do anything, but oh well. This week, the villains are forced to go through a killer course to rescue their loved ones. Will they succeed? Will they fail? Check it out on an all new episode of Darkwing Villain Island!
At the camp everyone was asleep. That was until an air horn was blown into the speakers, waking everyone up. They all groaned as they woke up and went outside. Outside Chris' voice came over the speakers.
"Good morning campers! Head to the Mess hall for breakfast and you'll be informed for your next challenge!"
The villains groaned as they made their way over to the mess hall. As they grabbed their breakfast, they waited to see what challenge that Chris had for them. Quackerjack sighed as he poked the gruel that Chef had made for breakfast.
"I wonder what our challenge is?" Bushroot wondered.
"With Chris? Who knows?" Steelbeak replied.
As the villains ate their breakfast, Chris walked in.
"Good morning campers! Are you ready to know what today's challenge is? Because I have surprise for you!"
"I think we had enough surprises as it is." Clovis replied, taking a bite of her food.
"And what could be a better surprise than… your relatives!"
Everyone either gasped in surprised or choked on their food. They looked at the host in shocked. Their relatives were here!? That wasn't right! Villains don't normally stay in touch of their families. Either they were disowned, or the families didn't know that they were doing this. The villains looked at each other, none of them knew of each other's families or past very well.
After breakfast the villains were lead to an empty field. All of them were wondering which relative would be coming for the challenge. Negaduck ringed his hands together in and out of nervousness. How was this going to work with him? His parents were dead. He didn't know any of his family members since he was an orphan and he hoped that it wasn't his one of his foster family members or even… them. He shook it out of his head. He might as well wait and see.
Chris smiled. "Campers, you all know what a hero's job is, right?"
The villains rolled their eyes. Of course they knew. They were villains! They were on the other side of the action.
"Can someone tell me, one thing that a hero does that relates to this challenge?"
"Kidnapping?" Splatter asked, receiving several snickers.
"No, not kidnapping," Chris frowned, then turned to the interns, "Someone put that down for a possible idea for a challenge."
The villains looked at each other and back at Chris. They could admit that Chris could be as Cruel and cold-hearted as they can be, but even they need to take a break. Show or no show. But whatever it had to do with their families, they were not eager to find out.
"No, what today's challenge has in common with a superhero is… rescuing people!"
"Did you forget something McClain? We're villains! We don't rescue people! We kidnap them!" Negaduck snapped. "And I certainly ain't the type to do so!"
"Well you are today!" Chris replied, then motioned to the empty field. "Your challenge to rescue your family member is to run across this field, jump through a flaming hoop and rescue your family member, who is hanging above a shark tank, with a bomb strapped to them. Whoever can rescue their family member in the least amount of time wins!"
"Sounds like my type of challenge." The masked duck grinned.
Chef brought up a Pinwheel with each of the remaining villains faces on each one colored piece, and a TV. Chef took a hold of the wheel and spun it. The arrow landed on Clovis.
"Oh wonderful," she replied, rolling her eyes.
"Clovis the family member you need to rescue is…"
The screen turned to see a young bull with blond hair. He was tied up with a bomb strapped him. Clovis gasped.
"Aaron!"
"Aaron, huh?" Chris grinned. "And how is related to you?"
"He's my little brother!" she snapped.
"You have one hour to get over the field, get through the hoop, and rescue your family member from the sharks and the bomb. Oh and did I mention… it's a mine field."
"Perfect," she muttered bitterly.
Chris set the timer, a smirk on his face. "And you might want to hurry, those sharks are looking hungry."
Clovis glared at him and took off running once the timer started. She tried her best to dodge the underground bombs as she made her way across the field. She was at the half-way mark when she got across the field. She coughed, her hair a mess, and her clothes torn from the bombs. She looked around, her heart racing. She continued running as she made her way to the flaming hoop. She saw the beam and the hoop and increased her speed.
CONFESSION CAM
Clovis: I'm no athlete, I'm a secretary, and going through that hoop was the scariest thing I ever had to do. But I'll do anything for Aaron.
Negaduck: *scraping two butcher knives against each other* I look forward to have roasted beef. If Clovis doesn't survive, of course. *chuckles darkly*
As Clovis jumped through the hoop, her skirt caught on fire and tried to put it out. Negaduck and Chris started laughing.
"I love watching people go down in flames." Negaduck cackled.
"You are one twisted duck." Chris told.
"Look who's talking."
"Touché little man."
Negaduck growled and grabbed Chris by the collar of his shirt, bringing him down to his level. He pressed a knife against his cheek.
"Don't ever classify me by my size again or I'll make sure your mug is no longer television worthy."
Chris gulped. "Security!"
Negaduck was pulled away from Chris. The masked menace looked at the person, who grabbed him, which was Chef. He growled at the large man, who was probably about two sizes, muscle wise, larger than his own bodyguard/ housemate/best friend. He was never going to admit it but… Chef could be considered an equal.
Despite what was going on between Negaduck and Chris, the rest of the villains were watching Clovis, hoping that she would get to her brother before that bomb killed him. Something they were all hoping for themselves.
As she was trying to get past the sharks to get her brother but was having a hard time getting past them. As the second were counting down on the clock and the bomb, she tried harder to get to him, but was unsuccessful as the buzzer went off. She gasped as the bomb exploded.
"Aaron!" She screamed, believing she lost her brother forever.
She collapsed on the ground, sobbing into her hands. She didn't notice the young bull covered in blue paint, coughing.
"Ew…" he complained, "I'm covered in paint!"
She looked up after hearing his voice. Tears falling down her cheeks.
"A-Aaron?" her voice wavered.
"Anyone else tied up and hanging above killer sharks? Get me down!" The teen screamed.
Chef came over and cut the boy off, causing him to land on the ground roughly. Clovis ran over and hugged her paint covered sibling.
"You're alive! I thought I lost you forever!"
Chris' face came across a screen not too far away.
"Of course he's alive. We can't use real bombs or the lawyers would be all over us. So we used paint bombs, instead." The host explained.
Clovis rolled her eyes. "How considerate."
"Hey, be glad it was paint. I was tempted to putting itching powder or bees in the bombs."
Clovis gasped and pulled her brother closer to her, making the poor boy gasp in pain.
"You do that and you could've killed him! He's allergic to bees!"
"Like I said, be glad. Clovis has lost the challenge! Up next is Steelbeak!"
Steelbeak rolled his eyes. "Oh goody."
"Steelbeak the relative you have to rescue is…"
Steelbeak gawked and started to walk away.
"Nope! No way! I'm out! I am not rescuing him!"
"If you don't then you are automatically sent to the dock of shame and you can never come back…ever. And you don't win the title of ultimate evil."
The chief FOWL agent stopped and frowned. If it wasn't the title and those prizes he would've been gone by now. He growled and turned around.
"Fine! I'll res'ue mah stupid olda' brot'ah!"
Steelbeak scowled as he got to the beginning of the course and took off running once the timer started. He tried his best to make sure that his suit was in perfect condition. Unfortunately it didn't last long. Soon it was covered in burn marks and sweat as he made his way through the mine field and the flaming hoop.
"I am demandin' a new suit when I get out of this…" he growled.
CONFESSION CAM
Steelbeak: Why don't I want ta res'ue mah olda' brot'ah? He's a friggen' attention hog! He is actually a twin. Andrew and Anthony. Which on am I res'uing? *sneers* Anthony. But either way… I hate 'em both.
As he made his way around the sharks and started to climb the rope and untie his older brother, the other rooster looked at him. Anthony was a good looking rooster wearing a pair of overalls, a plaided shirt and work boots. The older rooster was studying his relative, trying to figure out who he was.
"So… you're part of mah family? I don't recall anyone with a metal beak."
"Shut ya mouth Anthony." Steelbeak snapped, position the rope between his beak.
With one bite the rope broke and Steelbeak carried his brother away from the sharks and dropped him once the timer went off. As Anthony stood up, dusting himself off, he tried his best to see what part of the family he was.
"So… what are youse? Married to de family? Distant cousin? Uncle?"
"None of those. Now shut ya yap!"
The country rooster blinked in shock. Not many people in his family where so rude, mostly his father, but he had a farm to take care of and three boys to raise. He tried to place the voice. He had to heard it somewhere…
Once Steelbeak and Anthony made it to the other contestants, the FOWL agent made sure to keep his distance from his brother. He wanted nothing to do with his family and it was staying like that. Chris and Chef noticed and grinned at each other.
"So Steelbeak. Don't you want to let Anthony who you are?"
"No."
Anthony blinked. He looked over the well-dressed rooster. He reminded him of someone… but who? He was part of the family… but how? As he studied the FOWL agent, he saw Steelbeak go over and talk to Ammonia, obviously flirting with her.
Chris called up the next contestant, Quackerjack. As the jester did several flips and cartwheels over to the starting line. He pulled out Mr. Bananabrain.
"Who's the lucky toy, Roy?" the 'toy' asked.
"Since we couldn't find any of your relatives… surprisingly… we decided to go with the next best thing." Chris replied.
"Wait," Clovis started. "What do you mean you couldn't find his relatives?"
"He wouldn't give us his real name and we couldn't find any evidence of his real name. So we assume he probably hidden them somewhere we couldn't find it. So we decided to with his love interest."
"Love?" Negaduck sneered, looking interested to destroy one of his gang members' happiness.
Quackerjack looked worried.
CONFESSION CAM
Quackerjack: If Negsy finds out that I'm with Megavolt then he'll kill the both of us! Negs has a no relationship policy and… this is not going to end well… *pulls out Mr. Bananabrain*
Mr. Bananabrain: You got that right, Dwight!
As the dangerous toy maker shifted anxiously on his feet waiting for Chris to reveal Megavolt, he hoped that Chris didn't do anything to hurt him. And sure enough, the screen revealed Megavolt, hovering above the tank of sharks. The electric rat yelped as a shark jumped up and tried to bite him.
"I'm going to fry you Chris McClain! I swear to it!"
The remaining villains gasped. Quackerjack and Megavolt… were dating? The jester looked at Negaduck and saw the leader glaring at them. He gulped.
CONFESSION CAM
Quackerjack: *writing on a piece of paper with a blue pen with feathers on top* If anything happens to me and Megsy, I'm leaving all my toys to someone after my death. Maybe to Bushy. Petal-head could use a laugh.
Negaduck: *cleaning off his chainsaw* Chuckles and Sparky is going to learn that relationships are not tolerated in my gang!
The jester did the logical thing anyone would do to avoid Negaduck's wrath at that moment… start the course. Of course Quackerjack went through it with ease, with his flexibility and acrobatic abilities. By the time he had gotten to the electric rat.
"Get me away from here!" Megavolt shouted, hat sparking in anger.
Quackerjack did a flip and used a shark as a diving board to grab the rope. He pulled Mr. Bananabrain out of his pocket and the top of a gun appeared from the doll's banana shaped head. The gun was shot and the bullets cut through the ropes dropped the rat, who was thankfully caught by Quackerjack before he could hit the water.
As the two came back, Anthony finally recognized who Steelbeak was. His eyes widen.
CONFESSION CAM
Anthony: I can't believe it… how could I be so blind? Mah lil' brother was right next ta me! We haven't talked in years! Maybe dis can be da time to rekindle wit' kin.
The country rooster went over and pulled the Chief FOWL agent into a hug. Steelbeak looked over at him and frowned.
"Get off of me."
"Come on brotha' we haven't talked in foreva'!"
"Good. It's stayin' like dat."
Anthony blinked in shocked. He didn't recall anything he did to upset his little brother. But it had to be something.
"But C-"
Steelbeak grabbed his beak before he could say his real name. He snapped his head with fire in his eyes.
"Do NOT call me by my name. It's Steelbeak. Got it?"
The older Rooster nodded. Steelbeak released his beak and turned his attention back to the challenge. Anthony frowned.
"Up next," Chris stated as the pinwheel landed on Splatter's face. "Splatter!"
The painter rolled her eyes.
"Wonderful."
"The relative you have to rescue is…"
The screen showed a female duck with long blonde hair.
"Your sister, Brittney!"
Splatter scowled. How she hated her sister! She was glad however to see among the other villains that she wasn't the only one with estranged family ties. She noticed that Steelbeak was trying to stay as far as he can from his older brother. She turned her focused back on the course. She was going to win this competition sister or not.
As she went to tackle the course, she managed to beat the clock with a spare of 34 second left. She felt extremely proud of herself, despite rescuing her sister. As she and her sister arrived with the other villains, the painting villain saw that Liquidator was up next. She made a mental note to see the advantages and disadvantages he has along with Bushroot too.
"Liquidator the person you have to rescue is…"
On screen a teenage dog wearing glasses, a sweater vest and slacks appeared.
"Russ!"
The host smirked. The teenage boy was fighting against his straps.
"So Likky, tell us who you have to rescued."
"All villains agree you are one sneaky slimy host. How are you not a villain?"
The other villains nodded in agreement. The relatives that had been recently just met the host and had been rescued were hesitant about judging the person that had kidnapped them and tired them up and hanged them over a tank full of sharks but… they had to agree with the liquid canine.
"You didn't answer my question. Who are you rescuing?"
The ex-salesman scolded but answered him anyways.
"10 out of 10 doctors agree that the Liquidator is rescuing his offspring!"
Most of the villains blinked. Liquidator had a kid? They didn't know what he did before he became the Liquidator. They looked at him but he paid no mind to them. Instead he was already at the starting line, waiting for him to start his course.
CONFESSION CAM
Quackerjack: Likky had a kid!? When did that happen?
Ample: I didn't know that Liquidator was a parent. I wonder who the girl who married him.
Steelbeak: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Da walkin' water had a kid? Who's da wife?
Once the timer started Liquidator made his way through the course. His body made himself indestructible as he seeped through the mine field. e He migh *ch*He reformed in front of the hoop and went through it, causing the fire on the bottom half to go out due to his liquid body. He dissolved into the shark tank and formed his torso to untie his son and sat him on the ground.
Russ growled and fought the villain that had just rescued him from the sharks. He didn't like the dog at all. Once he was sat down, the teenager started yelling at the villain.
"How dare you kidnapped me! You dirty thieving murdering sewage drain!"
The aqua dog frowned.
"Accusing the innocent? Anger made you blind? Then looked no more! For the Liquidator has a deal to cure your misguided confusion! For the Liquidator did no such thing!"
"Yea, right," the boy sneered.
"The culprit you should be blaming is Darkwing Duck! Three out of three people knew what happened to Bud Flud when actually Bud Flud is right here!"
"He is?" Russ blinked and looked around. "Where?"
"You're speaking to the one and only Bud Flud also known as the grand Liquidator!"
The boy gawked and quickly shook his head. Chris pulled out his megaphone and turned to the highest volume he could get it.
"As juicey as this is, we have a show to shoot, move it!"
As the two Flud boys made their way up, Bushroot was up next, but he was refusing to go.
"N-no! Not doing it! Not e-e-even for all the seeds in the world!"
Chris shrugged and a smirked formed on his lips. He leaned back into his chair and sat his megaphone down.
"Sure, if you don't mind getting sent home."
"Gladly!" The mutant-duck exclaimed, running over to the nearest tree and sat next to it.
He didn't even care that he lost the challenge and left his family member hanging above the sharks. He was not going in a mine field to get blown up, burned to a crisp and mauled by sharks. It wasn't worth it in his opinion. He rather be sent back to his greenhouse with his plants and pet fly trap. And personally, he was glad that he would be sent home, he should've been sent home last time. And he was hoping that if he didn't participate in this one that he would.
Splatter went over to him and sat next to him.
"I understand why you don't want to do the challenge."
"Y-y-you do?" he blinked.
"Sure, if you do then you'll become roasted vegetables. Better safe and sorry."
"E-exactly!" he smiled. "Someone who gets it!"
Steelbeak and Quackerjack saw them sitting next to each other and looked at each other. Something was going on between them and they were going to find out what it was.
During that time Ammonia and Ample made their way to rescue their parents, however they both ended losing when they got to the shark tanks. And finally it was Negaduck's turn. The masked duck had been waiting for this moment since the start of the challenge, question ranking in his mind.
Who was he going to get? Was it going to be one of his foster family members? Launchpad? Gosalyn? He only hoped that it wasn't Gosalyn. The little girl already lived with him and the Negaverse, she didn't need to be indulged by Chris' torture.
"Negaduck, the person or should I say…kid, you're rescuing is… your daughter!"
Negaduck gasped in terror when he saw the little girl in pink dangling over the shark tank.
"GOSALYN!" he screamed in terror.
CONFESSION CAM
Steelbeak: He has a daughter?
Splatter: Negaduck is a dad!?
Ammonia: Oh…
Ample: My…
Chef: God. How gave that nutcase parental rights?
"And just to make it interesting…" The host of the show smirked.
One of the interns went over and cut a strand off the rope, causing it to start unraveling. The intern looked hesitant to do it, but did it nonetheless. The little girl screamed in terror as one of the sharks jumped up and tried to bite her.
"Daddy!"
Negaduck gasped and growled at the host.
"And to make it even more interesting, we're going to cut your time in half!"
Negaduck snarled.
"Start the timer."
When Chris did so, Negaduck made his way through the mine field. Just as he was going through the hoop, the rope snapped and Gosalyn plunged into the shark tank. The red-headed child struggled in her binds, hoping to break out but she had no luck. She also took that time to kick several sharks away from her, making sure that they didn't attack her. Just when she thought that her chest was going to explode without breathing for so long, she opened her mouth to breathe and slowly started to sink into unconsciousness.
By the time Negaduck arrived the girl was already unconscious. He wasted no time and jumped into the tank. He kicked a shark away from him as he grabbed the duckling and brought her up to the surface. Once they were out of the tank, Negaduck disarmed the bomb and fell to the limp girl's side, who looked she was sleeping, and tried to wake her up.
"Gosalyn! Gosalyn wake up!"
When she didn't answer, the duck seemed to get angry but pushed it aside as he leaned his ear against the girl's chest and then started to do CPR. During that time, he ranted to the girl, expressing his anger at the moment.
"Wake up you little brat! When you wake up you are so grounded! I swear to god that if you don't wake I swear I'll…I'll…"
After a few chest compressions the little girl showed no sign of life and the masked menace was starting to lose hope and his usual harden heart seemed to be melting as he tried to wake the girl. Finally he gave up and held the little girl.
"I'll have no idea what I'll do if I lost you…" he finished, clearly upset that he might lose someone important to him.
The girls around him couldn't help but gush at seeing the usual angry and explosive duck look so sad and actually gentle to the little girl in his arms.
"Please wake up, please Gos. I'm so sorry…" he whispered to her, tears glistening in his eyes, "I'll never yell at you again if you wake up… please Gosalyn… I… I…"
He swallowed nervously and helped the girl closer to his chest.
"I.. l-love…you," he gagged.
And to everyone's shock, the mallard started sobbing as he clutched the child against her chest.
CONFESSION CAM
Clovis: He made… Negaduck…cry. No one can make Negaduck cry and Chris has done it! And by killing his daughter! I thought Negaduck was cold-hearted but Chris has beaten him! He killed a little girl!
Steelbeak: … Would I be a bad person for sayin' dat I enjoyed dis?
Bushroot: Poor Negaduck… h-he didn't deserve that…
Chris: Dude! I got to make Negaduck cry! The ratings are so going up on this!
As everyone watched in horror, shock and sadness, several tears had fallen onto the unconscious girl, who suddenly coughed up the water in her lungs and moaned. Everyone looked in shock. As a few more of Negaduck's tears fell onto Gosalyn's face, her eyes fluttered opened.
"Daddy?" she croaked out. "Are you crying?"
The yellow-cladded duck looked at her. She was alive? She was alive! The duck lost all train of thought and cheered as he lifted her in the air and brought her back down and hugged her.
"You're alive! I thought I lost you for good."
The little girl smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Hey, I was adopted by Negaduck. I can handle anything. I'm sorry that I scared you daddy."
Negaduck sat her down and patted her head.
"Hey, I'm Negaduck. I don't scare easily. And I have a very important question to ask you. Chainsaw or Bazooka?"
The little girl smiled, knowing exactly what her adoptive father wanted.
"Chainsaw."
The duck chuckled darkly as he pulled out his chainsaw and started it up. He set his sight on the host of the island. Fire was in his eyes. He looked at the girl.
"Gosalyn, sweetie, how about you go teach Chef how real food is made. Daddy is going to mutilate Chris McClain."
"Okay!" the little girl replied, running over to Chef and dragged him to the Mess Hall.
CONFESSION CAM
Quackerjack: *giggles**singsong* ~ Negsy is mad~ Which is good! He'll forget all about mine and Megsy's relationship!
Splatter: *cackles* Syonara McClain! Negaduck is going to have your goose cooked!
Negaduck: *growls* Chris is going to wish that he wasn't born.
Once Gosalyn was out of sight, Negaduck went after the egotistical host, shouting every threat and swear word known to man.
Bushroot looked at everyone.
"So… i-i-if Negaduck ends up k-killing Chris… wh-what's going to h-happen the show?"
Everyone shrugged. Not really caring. They watched amused as the short temperamental duck tried to commit murder. They decided to take that time to sit and talk. But even that came to a close after an hour or two when Chris seek shelter in a helicopter and Negaduck was captured, disarmed and put in a straight jacket with a muzzle over his beak.
Soon the remaining campers were sitting around the campfire, waiting to see who was going home. Their family members were watching, waiting for their boat so they could go home. Gosalyn and Chef were deep in conversation about cooking. Anthony and Bushroot's mom was talking about the difference from city life and farm life, and Aaron and Brittney was doing their own things.
CONFESSION CAM
Chef: I have to say, for a little kid, the girl has some mad cooking skills.
Chris was standing next to the campfire, keeping a close eye on the maniac duck that nearly tried to kill him, he was on the phone with the producers.
"Whatever you say." He finished and hanged up. He turned to the campers, "Okay, the producers called me and since I nearly killed Negaduck's kid, I couldn't kick him off the island since he tried to murder me because his actions were "justified." So the first licorice is going to Negaduck."
The tied up duck snorted and looked away, not in the mood to contra-verse with the host. Chris continued passing out the licorice.
"Liquidator, Splatter, Steelbeak, Quackerjack, Clovis and Ammonia. You are safe." He looked at Ample and Bushroot. "Ample and Bushroot. Ample, you didn't complete the course and failed to rescue your dad. Bushroot, you didn't even do the challenge. So the person going home tonight is…"
Bushroot stood up, knowing that he was once again that he was going home.
"Ample."
"What!?" The two cried out in shock.
"Ample time to hit the docks!"
"This is preposterous! I should be going home! I didn't even do the challenge!" The mutant plant duck exclaimed.
"But it's what the votes say, so you are here to stay bush-brain." The host answered him.
Ample scolded and went straight to the dock. Bushroot frowned and crossed his arms. Something was right and by god he was going to find out what was going. Shortly after Ample was gone, the relatives were leaving as well. The villains said their farewells while a few exchanged hugs. Once they were out of sight, everyone went to their cabins, leaving Bushroot in the woods alone. He stroked a fern's leaf, talking to it.
"I –I-I don't know what's going on my darlings. But this i-is the second time that I should've been eliminated. But I can guarantee that I am going to figure out why, e-e-even if it means that I have to meet the end of Negaduck's ch-chainsaw." He gulped. "B-b-but I hope i-it doesn't come down to that…"
And there it is! Is Megavolt and Quackerjack's relationship safe from Negaduck's wrath? Is Quackerjack and Steelbeak close to discovering who Bushroot's secret admirer is? Will Negaduck get his revenge on Chris for almost killing Nega-Gosalyn? Will Bushroot find out why he seems to be immune to elimination? Check out next time on Darkwing Villain Island!
