Freeman's Odyssey
Chapter: 6
Wrath of Nega-Duck
St. Canard
Previously
"Typical dork wing." said Nega-duck "Always whining about something. That took care of the cheerleader and the side kick; serious…what is that thing with you?"
In the middle of the street Nega-duck stands there with his arms folded behind his back and looking confident as always with a sickening sneer upon his face.
"Nega-duck." said darkwing "You fiend what do you want now."
"I'm human." said Gordon "And everybody thinks I am this Mega-volt person."
Nega-duck roared in laugher "Seriously you are not Megavolt, the people here are just as clueless as goody-two-shoes here." Then smiling at Darkwing "I have what I want and in return this city, along with the rest of the world once it is a pile of rubble will feel….My WRATH. Behold my legion of Nega-duck."
A portal opened behind him as Gordon knows what these are all to well and Darkwing is shocked at what he sees in wondering what these things are. They both share a glare and thought with an indication of silence as it is stated in their minds at the same time.
Damn, were screwed.
Right now!
Gordon Freeman and Darkwing duck also known to himself, his daughter and his side kick as Drake Mallard watched as about a couple of dozen soldiers come out of the swirling portal that opened up behind the one called Nega-duck as the one-free-man noted that he looks almost like darkwing duck except for the colors. Gordon recognized these soldiers right away as he had previous fought them in his own dimension before the Combine was cast out of his dimension for good.
They're sporting a distinctive white uniform and helmet with a single red ocular lens, along with a duck bill or some other animal like mouth. The markings on the right shoulder is a skull and the left is the symbol of the combine as Gordon growled at this, but kept his cool about it as he knows what he is up against. These armored people are no longer considered people or animal these are the.
Over watch Elite
Over watch Elites are equipped with improved body armor, made apparent by the larger neck guard and the increased protection it offers. Their helmets are also drastically different from those of regular soldiers, which possibly improve senses, indicated by the two miniature domes located where the ears of the soldier would be. Given its helmet, the Elite may have only one eye left, changed with surgery, making it an artificial Cyclops, or they still have two eyes, since some types of real-world night vision/thermal goggles have one lens at the end.
Elites are tougher, achieve better accuracy with their weapons, and inflict more overall damage than regular soldiers do. They typically carry Over-watch Standard Issue Pulse Rifles, and are able to use the weapon's secondary fire Energy Ball. They use this advantage without hesitation and with deadly accuracy.
The next things to come out of the swirling portal are tough and nasty as Gordon has encountered them before. it has three muscular legs attached to the sides & back of it's body, ending in a pair of extremely sharp barbs. On the left side of the body are what appear to be three compound eyes, and a pair of vertically aligned fléchette launchers are located on the front.
Located directly underneath the launchers are two small limbs tipped with metal blades for impaling targets, behind those and on the back are two oval shaped orifices possibly for breathing, vocalizations, or both. The body and legs are partially encased in an iridescent blue-green carapace. These are known as.
Hunters!
Hunters are heavily armored, and take reduced damage from most forms of small arms fire. They are also highly mobile, able to easily move out of the way of projectiles. Like all Synths, Hunters possess a number of vocalizations, all of which are shrill, fierce, and slightly electronic. They also appear to leak some sort of white-grey fluid, perhaps blood or blood substitute, when shot
The Hunter's main weapons are the pair of fléchette launchers on its forward surface. These fire large, fast fléchettes with a small spread which do large damage upon a direct hit, capable of vaporizing biological matter with a few hits, and additional splash damage within a small radius if the fléchette hits a solid object. The Hunter is very accurate with the flechettes, as it utilizes and "walks" its fire onto a target.
Finally, flying out of the swirling portal
Are Combine Gun ships
About seven, of them
Gun ships are living creatures that have been artificially altered and augmented with Combine technology. They are powered by an array of jet engines on their underside, and maneuver using a rear-mounted rotor with insect wing-like blades. Compound eyes that bear a close resemblance to those of a dragonfly are positioned directly behind the Gun ship's pulse gun.
In addition, the chassis itself has one large exposed compound eye on either side, which is assumed to be used to detect enemies under normal conditions. Like most Combine Synths and vehicles, the gunship is invulnerable to small arms fire and can only be damaged by heavy weapons, such as rocket-propelled grenades. Because of this weakness to explosives, gun ships will give any incoming explosives a priority over enemies and will attempt to shoot them down.
Gordon green eyes looked on with determination and complete seriousness as he knows this will not be easy and looking to his right Darkwing duck has his beak opened in shock as the duck is wondering where did Nega-duck get all of these forces?
However, Gordon knows the truth that this Nega-duck made a deal with the combine to conquer this dimension as the evil duck does not understand there is always a price to be paid in dealing with devils like that. Doctor Breen in the mere mention of that traitor makes his blood boil found out the only thing he ruled is a dimension full of sheep.
"Darkwing." shouted Gordon "Get your head in the game, listen to me these things are not ordinary. They are the by-products of the combine an inter-dimensional empire as Nega-duck made a deal with them."
"The what." said both Nega-duck and darkwing duck at the same time.
"Who cares." said Nega-duck "They gave me what I want and I will give them what they want this dimension, as long as it is massive chaos and destruction."
"There is always a price to be paid in dealing with them." said Gordon
"I don't give a damn." said Nega-duck "So, stop wasting your time."
"This is between you and me," said Darkwing "Nega-duck so let's get really dangerous…stay out of this human I don't need your help."
"Darkwing." said Gordon who glared at him coldly "Get your beak out of your ass, we need to work together on this or there won't be a dimension or a city to protect all."
Darkwings eyes narrowed in rage as he shook his fists at this in which his side kick and daughter could be dead, but he is letting his arrogance to get the best of him as he calmed down and picked up his gas gun laying on the street. He looked at the forces he sees upon him and knows this will be one hell of a battle. This human creature could be right as Darkwing can't do it alone against things like these.
"Fine we will do it your way." said Darkwing "For now."
"DW." said Launch pad "We are ok, just fight on."
"Go get them dad." said Gosalyn "We will find a place to hide."
Darkwing smiled as he watches those two run away as he knows he is fighting for them on this night and a long night it will be.
"Awe" said Nega-duck "How utterly repulsive, I think they will be the first to die in fact…."
"BLAM!"
Gordon Freeman had heard enough as he replicated a 357 magnum and fired a single shot right at the shoulder of Nega-duck in which the evil duck gasped in pain and roared in anger. How dare this human creature freak shoot him, he is the lord of the Nega-verse the master of disaster, the duke of chaos. Blood is dripping down his shoulder as he ignored the pain and looked enraged right at the human-creature.
"You dare shoot at me!" said Nega-duck as he pulls the bullet out of his shoulder "Fine then feel my WRATH….attack."
Then all hell breaks loose.
Dozens and dozens of over watch elites go in different directions, gun ships fly off to cause chaos and hunters target just about anything else. The cries of screams are heard in the background, explosions are heard and along with everything else as it does look like an all out war in which Gordon Freeman isn't going to stand there and do nothing, neither is Darkwing as they noticed that Nega-duck disappeared afterwards in which the coward wanted to watch the chaos from a distance. The both of them are not out of woods yet as the hunters attacked the both of them. Gordon knows what to do against them as these hunters are supported by a dozen of Over watch elite.
This isn't easy.
As things never are!
Right now the city is under attack.
Gordon started off by using his gravity gun to fire gravity energy at one of the hunters that is attacking him as the one-free-man barely dodged its attacks in which he used the gun to throw it into another one as both exploded upon impact. Gordon then exchanged his weapon into a pulse gun as he fired a couple of shots at the approaching overwatch elite it wasn't easy, but they dropped like flies as he throws a grenade at another attacking hunter.
Gordon leaped quickly out of the way as a gun ship fired with a combination of the pulse cannon and a few missiles in which he used an alleyway as cover. Then fired back with a RPG as the gun ship is hit along the side of its hall and spins out of control as it landed somewhere near the water. This battle isn't over yet.
Not by a long shot.
What is darkwing doing?
Simply he does what he does best, using amazing agility and martial arts skills in which he knows he used a combination to inflict some damage as Darkwing noticed that his gas gun is ineffective against these armored evil doers. So, he used bombs to stomp them as these armored evil doers as darkwing would call them were thrown about and scattered all around.
The other machines on the other hand proved to be tough for the mighty mallard as his hat was blown off by a sheer shot from one of it's weapons in which darkwing needed another method and found one as he ran towards an empty gas station in which these hunters followed him and then darkwing used his gas to disappear.
As the hunters got in range of the gas station as stray shot came out of nowhere and obliterated the gas station along with the hunters who were chasing him. Smoke and fire rises upwards in the air as it can be seen all around, the earth shook from the blast leaving nothing more than a gaping crater on the ground. Both darkwing and Gordon Freeman are fighting back to back on this one as it isn't easy, however even they need a little help.
Where is the help you ask?
It's coming.
A metallic rolling object with a person inside is driving down St. Canard Bridge as the person is joined by an armored division of soldiers in tanks and other vehicles. Up ahead the person in the suit stopped to see and what he sees shocked him to the core as he lifted his helmet and sees an all out war for survival as this made no sense to him.
"All right men." said the suited duck "Let's go."
Bubbling in the water is happening as the gunship that exploded in the water is rising upwards, but doing the lifting is some sort of green duck creature who looks as if she is in a bed mood as she throws it upon the docks as what is left of the gun ship is bounced around until it slammed into an empty warehouse. She is shocked in awe as she bare witnesses to something she has never seen before an all out war for survival.
"Wow!" said the green duck "I better help before these things attack my waters."
At one of the street is a large lizard like animal eating ice cream near an ice cream truck as he is eating dozens of ice creams. But all of a sudden, cries and screams for help is heard, along with explosions. The green lizard looked around and sees massive chaos as the city is under attack. A stray shot slammed into the ice cream truck as it flipped in the air and bounced on the street until finally rest on the side walk all the ice cream spilled all around as this angered the lizard animal.
"Hey that is my favorite ice cream." said the lizard "Now I am mad."
At a creepy house a door creeks open as a female duck dressed in red steps out and wondered what is all this noise coming from. What she saw was not good at all, it was bad very bad as a look of serious determination crossed her face. She knows it will take all the skills she needs to take on this menace as she wondered where the love of her life is at.
"Hey get all of my powerful spell books." said the female duck to certain creatures "I'll need it for what is in store on this night."
A UFO falls from out of the sky and lands in the middle of St. Canard, and then all of a sudden a large costumed figure comes out of the small UFO. He has a dumb look to him, but he looks powerful as he looked around to see the massive chaos around him
"Time to be a hero." said the costumed person.
At a certain headquarters a goose as his arms folded behind his back as he is watching what is transpiring on the view screen in which this is satellite feed of what is transpiring in St. Canard. What seemed to be a simple thing to catch megavolt or what appears to be megavolt turned out to be an all out war against unknown forces.
"Scramble everything we have." said the goose "The time to move is now."
Meanwhile, back in the Nega-verse
Nega-ducked sneaked away as the first part of his plan had been successful as his arm is being patched up after being shot by something called a human, whatever that is. Right now he didn't care as he sat upon his throne and watching from the view screen showing what is going on in darkwings universe and the way he sees it, he is enjoying it in which this is what he wanted. Now it is time to bring forth is master plan….a plan that he has been trying to do for awhile, but needed the necessary resources to pull it off.
"Muddlefoot." bellowed Nega-duck from his throne
"Yes Lord-Nega duck." said Herb
"Is the machine ready to activate." asked Nega duck as he looked outside to an object that is the machine.
"It will be ready to be activated in five minutes." said Herd "you have the controls upon your throne."
"Excellent." smiled Nega-duck.
In five minutes it will all be over thought negaduck from his throne and everything will be mine, all mine.
To be continued!
After a full scale war erupts upon the city St. Canard as Darkwing and Gordon struggle to survive against Nega-Ducks forces consisting of the Overwatch elite, Hunters, and gunships in which prompting certain other heroes to arrive to help out. Meanwhile Nega-duck's master plan is ready to begin.
