            December 17.

            Negaduck and Steelbeak's Hideout, Saint Canard, Darkwing's Earth.

At Negaduck's lair in Saint Canard, Mega Volt was recharging his battery.  "That duck really burnt me up!  Thanks to that bolt of electricity he bounced back at me, I probably won't ever get a charge again!"  Meanwhile, Quacker Jack was bouncing around gleefully.  "Quacker Jack, stop it!  Grumpy people hate cheerful people!"

            "Hoo, hoo, hoo!" exclaimed Quacker Jack.  "Haven't you guessed yet that I'm a nut?"

            "Oh, how the thought could possibly escape me," said Mega Volt facetiously.  "Shut up before I decide to deep-fry you, toy-brain!" he shouted, bolts of lightning coming out of his connectors.  "Hey!  I think I finally got a charge!"  He removed the jumper cables from the connectors on top of his head and laid them to one side.  He switched off his battery charger.  "All right, clown!  Let's conquer this burg!  I'll blast the chief electric company."

            Quacker Jack said, "Then, I'll blast the chief toy company in the city. . . blast it to smithereens!  Hoo, hoo, hoo!  I'm such a nut!  HA, HA, HA, HA!!!"

            "I could have guessed that, you know," said Mega Volt.  In came Agent Steelbeak.

            "Hi, guys," said Steelbeak.  "Off to wreak some major havoc?"

            "Yes!" said Quacker Jack crazily.  "I'm off to conquer Saint Canard Toys, Incorporated, and create mass damage with my vast arsenal of wicked toys!  It's time that people stopped taking me seriously!  Ha, ha, ha, ha!"

            "Boy, is that right!" said Mega Volt.  A wicked look on his face, he rubbed his hands together, and sparks came out of his glowing connectors on top of his head.  "I am off to take over the electric company, Steelbeak!  With it, I'll electrify every electric and electronic device in Saint Canard!  No data at all will remain!  Ha, ha, ha!"

            "What about Darkwing Tower?" asked Steelbeak.  "What'll you do about that?"

            "When we get through with our city-wide destruction spree," said Mega Volt, "Quacker Jack and I will go over to Darkwing Tower and create mass destruction!!!!!  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

            "Ha, ha, ha!" said Steelbeak.  "Excusez-moi {Ehks-kü-záy-mwah} [French] (Excuse me) while I call F.O.W.L. High-Command.  Be off to your dirty deeds, Mega Volt and Quacker Jack."

            As Mega Volt and Quacker Jack left, Mega Volt said, "QJ, after we do our mass destruction sprees and before we junk Darkwing Tower, you grab that fishy Neptunia and I grab Darkwing's girlfriend, Morganna McCawber."

            "You've got it, MV!" said Quacker Jack.  "Let's go do some major destruction!  Ha, ha, ha!"

            Steelbeak, after seeing them both off, took out his cellular telephone and dialled.  On the high-resolution colour LCD screen of this telephone appeared the three shadowy beings of F.O.W.L. High-Command.  One was a vulture, one a duck, and one a rooster.  The Duck-Leader said, "Ah!  Agent Steelbeak.  Have you any progress to report from your independent project?"

            "Yo, High-Command!" greeted Steelbeak.  "How ya doin'?  Say, High-Command, how about givin' my pals, Agents Bushroot and Liquidator, a promotion?  They've personally captured Darkwing Duck!"

            "How, may we ask, did they do it?" asked the same member of High-Command.

            "It was easy," said Steelbeak.  "Agent Liquidator watered some of Agent Bushroot's powerful seeds, causing them to sprout into wicked vines and tie up Darkwing and his pals.  In fact, Agents Quacker Jack and Mega Volt have just left to destroy the city and ransack Darkwing Tower, not to mention capturing Morganna McCawber and Neptunia."

            The Vulture-Leader said, "Excellent, Agent Steelbeak.  Your group is a thousand times more resourceful than we originally thought.  Keep up the good work, Agent Steelbeak."

            "No offence," said the duck-shaped member of High-Command, "but you really shouldn't let Agent Quacker Jack leave his toys lying around everywhere.  They should be used as traps for trespassers."

            "Gotcha," said Steelbeak.  "Agent Steelbeak over and out."  Steelbeak waited for High-Command to cut the communication, then flipped the phone back into his the inner pocket of his jacket.  "I just love workin' for those guys!"
