After they returned to the Tower, there was a press conference in the main room for Duck with dozens of reporters.
"Tech should be getting that conference." Estelle grumbled.
"Ah, just let him enjoy his fifteen minutes of glory." Ace shrugged with his arms folded, knowing this would just all blow over soon.
"My fifteen minutes!" Tech snarled. "It was my invention that saved the day!"
"Did I ever tell ya that 'Danger' is my middle name?" Duck asked the press.
Rev zipped over, trying to get a word in and some attention.
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop running at the beak, I can handle my own interviews! Mm-hmm?" Duck pointed to one of the interviewers.
"Are you ever afraid, Mr. Danger?" the interviewer asked.
"Oh, no!" Duck said with a chuckle. "A true action hero doesn't have time to be afraid. He's too busy being ready for action!"
Akito and Estelle hid eye rolls.
"Why, I can't even spell the word 'fear'." Duck smirked smugly.
"He can't spell very many words, period." Lexi added.
"How do the other members feel of you saving the day?" The interviewer asked.
'He'd better watch what he says.' Akito thought to himself.
"Oh, they're used to it." Duck replied swiftly.
'Excuse me!?' Estelle thought to herself.
"Uhh... But they do all help..." Duck quickly added once he saw his teammates were rather peeved with him for his response. "Where would we be without Ace? Running away from the action! And Lexi? Cheering me on! And Rev, well, I dunno, Slam? Who can say? And Tech? Tech is our resident Mr. Fix-It Guy."
Tech actually approved of that comment.
"I mean, whenever the toilet backs up, we always know who to call," Duck then said, making the interviewers laugh and made the coyote frown instantly. "Those human kids look up to me too! I'm like their big brother, they learn a lot from me!"
'Big brother? Oh, please, he will never be like a big brother to us.' Akito and Estelle thought to themselves while they glared.
"Aren't you worried about The Stomper?" one interviewer asked. "I mean, he's broken out of every jail he's ever been in!"
"I'm not worried for-" Duck tried to reply bravely, but realized what he said. "Every jail?"
Akito and Estelle smirked. Not so tough now, huh, Duck?
"Oh, please do tell us of what he has done to anyone who has ever put him there?" Akito and Estelle asked while smirking.
"Let's just say, you're gonna need more than an ambulance on standby." the interviewer said to them.
"Oh, really?" Akito smirked. "Well, we'll think about that."
Duck tried to stay brave for the reporters, but everyone knew deep down inside, he was a coward.
After the interviews ended, the Loonatics decided to have a few words with Duck. For the twins, theirs were in action. Estelle simply stepped on his left foot and then kicked him in the shin. Akito, well, he punched Duck in the stomach.
"Hey, hey!" Duck groaned, holding his stomach as he fell on the couch now. "I was quoting out of context."
"I'll show you out of context!" Lexi threatened, then zapped Duck on his tail feathers with her brain blast.
"Ow, hey!" Duck glared to her. "That's no way to treat a national treasure!"
Estelle and Akito then burned his tail feathers as well with Akito's heat vision and their brain blasts.
Tech's ear twitched, he turned to the screen and saw a report on an old enemy. "Looks like we got trouble," he spoke up. "It appears when our 'national treasure' saved the day, he unwittingly release Dr. Dare from his stony prison!"
"Hey, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs." Duck shrugged innocently.
"Where is Dr. Dare heading?" Estelle asked.
"He's created new bots to head for the Acme Museum of History." Tech replied.
"Let's teach Dr. Dare a little something about the past." Ace remarked.
"Or he'll have no future!" Akito added.
Vincent, Patch, Jenny, Felicity, and Simon arrived then.
"Sorry, we are tardy," Felicity said to the Loonatics as she held the stroller. "Someone had a doctor's appointment."
"It's okay, you arrived just in time, we're about to take care of Dr. Dare...Again." Akito said.
They then rushed down to the Acme Museum.
"You've faced this guy before?" Jenny asked.
"He tried to sink Acmetropolis down to the ground." Vincent explained to her.
"Wow, didn't see that coming." Jenny smiled.
"Yeah, you and Patch have so much to learn." Vincent chuckled sheepishly.
They wandered into the museum as the side had been cracked open with a huge hole.
"Yep, looks like Dare's been here." Ace commented as they went inside the new entrance.
An interviewer came up. "So, how you gonna save the day this time, 'Danger Danger Duck'?" he asked.
"Uh, why is that guy asking Canard?" Felicity asked.
"Long story, cuz." Akito and Estelle told her.
"Long story short, they think Duck is the hero." Lexi told her.
Felicity laughed then.
"No, seriously." Rev said to her.
"Hmm..." Felicity narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Duck?" Ace looked at the duck.
"What?" Duck shrugged. "Thought the press could be invited along."
"What a scoop!" the interviewer praised. "Gonna watch a real action hero in action!"
"If only he knew." Jenny whispered.
"No tellin' what Dr. Dare took." Ace said as he examined the room.
Rev gasped as he saw the Greek exhibit. "Look!"
"The Shield of Perseus," Jenny noted. "Perseus was the founder of Mycenae and the one who beheaded Medusa."
"Which was the lady with snakes for hair and turned anyone that looked her in the eyes to stone." Akito added.
"What could he possibly do with some shield?" Duck scoffed.
"There is no descendant of Medusa in this time period, is there!?" Felicity grabbed onto her pigtails nervously.
"No, but with that shield, he can turn anything to stone." Estelle said.
"That sounds worse!" Felicity squeaked in terror.
"Exactly." Estelle said.
"I still can't believe Dr. Dare is back..." Vincent grumbled, sending a glare to Duck's direction since it was kind of his fault.
"Can he make it work?" Jenny wondered.
"Most likely," Patch replied. "Based on what the twins have told me, Dr. Dare's pretty intelligent, being a scientist and all."
Dr. Dare was currently nowhere to be found.
"He must be in his dastardly lair." Akito lowly growled.
"That would most likely be where he would be right now." Estelle said.
"We'll do a check back at the Tower." Tech compromised, strongly agreeing with the kids.
After investigating, the Loonatics returned to their home.
"Great job, team," Duck said, boastfully. "I should give you all raises, only we don't get paid!"
Simon took out his blade, glaring to him.
"Non..." Felicity scolded.
Simon narrowed his eyes and put his blade back into his toy bag.
"These are for you." Estelle said before handing Duck a bouquet of flowers.
"Oh, you shouldn't have..." Duck smiled, taking the bouquet and put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm afraid you're too young for a future to work out between us."
"It wasn't from me, Felicity, Jenny, or Lexi." Estelle narrowed her eyes and folded her arms.
"Must be from a secret admirer, hm?" Duck smirked, then found a card and cleared his throat, deciding to read it aloud. "'Hope ya like the flowers, 'cuz you'll be pushin' 'em up soon. You'll be six feet under then. Yours truly, The Stomper'..." he then gulped and looked cowardly.
"INCOMING!" Akito called.
Suddenly, there came a washing machine that nearly hit Duck, but missed.
"Where the heck did that come from?" Akito asked.
Duck saw Tech coming and automatically blamed the coyote and demanded that he fess up to it.
"I was busy fixing what you broke the whole time!" Tech snarled.
"And I was helping with Akito and Estelle." Lexi added.
"You were?" Duck asked them.
"What's wrong, Duck, we thought you couldn't spell the word 'fear'?" Akito and Tech asked with a smirk.
"Uh..." Duck actually tried to attempt to spell the simple word. "F-E... E... E... R-E! Nope, still can't spell it!"
"English is not my first language and even I can spell fear!" Felicity glanced to him.
Duck looked back, a little nervously as Tech, Lexi, and the twins walked off.
"You okay, Canard?" Felicity asked him.
"Um... I suppose a visit to the Acmetropolis Prison won't be too bad..." Duck rubbed his arm nervously. "Just to make sure Stomper is suffering!"
Felicity rolled her eyes, then looked down to Simon who reached up to her, so she took him in her arms. "If you are saying so... I am sure Papa can play a lovely sonnet for your funeral."
"If it will calm you down, then you, me, and Ace will go to Acmetropolis Prison and see Stomper himself." Akito said.
Simon waved his arms out.
"Do you mind taking Simon with you?" Felicity asked her cousin. "I think he wants to go..."
"Sure." Akito shrugged.
Felicity gave Simon over to Akito. Simon stared blankly up at Akito, but didn't look bloodthirsty or vicious for once.
"Ace!" Akito called. "Duck wants to go to the prison!"
"I'll be right over!" Ace called back.
"Great!" Akito called back. "The sooner we do this, the better."
Once Ace was ready, they went to the Acmetropolis Prison and they had permission to see the Stomper, a guard was telling them all about it on the way down.
The interviewer was even there and seemed blind to Duck's cowardly antics. "So, Danger Danger Duck, what're we doing down here?" he asked the 'hero'.
"This should be good..." Akito smirked.
Simon nodded in agreement.
"Well, I suggested to Ace and Akito that we'd come here, not to see if the Stomper was still here, oh, no, no, no, no, I just like to see all the bad guys I put away," Duck answered before seeing a criminal in a prison cell. "Hey, Mad Pete, how's it going?"
"GET LOST, BIRD BREATH!" the prisoner snapped at him, nearly throwing something out from his cell as they lowered closer and closer to Stomper's cell.
"No Nose," Duck greeted another prisoner who literally had no nose. "You keepin' safe?"
"HORSE FEATHER BUTT!" the prisoner growled.
"Peg Leg, looking same as always..." Duck waved nervously.
"You look like a real loser!" Peg Leg scowled.
Akito, Simon, and Ace hid eye rolls as they were closer to Stomper's cell now.
'I hope that karma does it's job on Duck.' Akito thought to himself.
The interviewer followed them as they made it to the ground floor, being taken to Stomper's cell.
Stomper was right in front of them, now in his prison clothes, he then smiled evilly once he saw the Loonatic who put him there. "'Ello, Duck... I've been expectin' you."
"So, Stomper, are you going to grovel at the hero who locked you up? The Emperor of Good?" The interviewer asked the locked up prisoner.
"Emperor of Good?!" Akito, Ace, and Stomper asked in disbelief.
Simon even gave an angry look of disbelief.
"It's just a possible nickname, but..." Duck smiled nervously as Stomper glared to him. "Maybe it's not such a good idea?"
Stomper lowly growled and gave Duck a very harsh death glare.
Duck was very frightened and backed up. "Well... Catch ya next time, Mr. Stomper, sir!" he then turned himself around to run off. "But gotta go!" he then rushed off like the coward he was.
"Mr. Danger Danger Duck!" the interviewer followed to catch up with him.
"Toodles." Stomper smirked.
Ace looked back to Stomper's possessions inside his cell and looked suspicious to the big guy.
Akito had the same feeling, but ignored it for now. "Come on, Simon, let's get you some dinner."
It was getting quite late when they got back to the Tower.
