Director Hooter's Office, SHUSH, Saint Canard, Darkwing's Earth.

At Director J. Gander Hooter's office at SHUSH, Agent Grizzlykov and Director J. Gander Hooter are conversing.  Grizzlykov said, "I knew Darkwimp Dupe would mess this up!"

            "Nonsense!" said Director Hooter.  "It was just a setback."  The phone on Hooter's desk rang.  Hooter picked up the receiver and said, "Yes.  Who is it? . . . Oh, it is? . . . Well, send her in!"  Hooter hung up.  "It is Morganna McCawber, Darkwing's sorceress girlfriend."

            "Hmph!" said Grizzlykov.  "She is a criminal!"

            "She was a criminal," corrected Hooter.  "She has reformed."  Morganna came in.

            "Hello, Director J. Gander Hooter," said Morganna.  "Is my Darkwing in trouble?"

            "I'm afraid so," said Hooter.  "F.O.W.L. Agents Bushroot and Liquidator captured Darkwing, GizmoDuck, Launchpad McQuack, Gosalyn, and millionaire Scrooge McDuck and have them in Negaduck and Steelbeak's secret hideout.  Actually, it belongs to one of the two, but no one knows to whom it belongs."  The phone rang once again.  "Oh, dear!"  Hooter picked up the phone and said, "What is it now? . . . Good!  Send them in!"  He once again hung up.  "Stegmutt and Neptunia are on their way in."  No sooner did he say this than Stegmutt and Neptunia opened the door and walked in.

            "We came because we thought Darkwing was in trouble," said Neptunia.

            "I'm afraid so, Neptunia," said Hooter.  "You see, F.O.W.L. Agents Bushroot and Liquidator have him, GizmoDuck, Launchpad, Gosalyn, and Scrooge McDuck prisoners in Agents Negaduck's and Steelbeak's hideout.  I also got a recent tip that Agents Mega Volt and Quacker Jack are up to their old tricks.  Mega Volt is messing up electronic records, and Quacker Jack is messing up the whole city with his evil toys.  You three are the city's only hope."  The window shattered.  Quacker Jack rode in out of the pouring rain on one of his snap-teeth.  "My word!"

            "Then, the city has no hope!  Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Quacker Jack.  "IT'S PLAY-TIME!!!  Ha, ha, ha, ha!"  A bolt of electricity came out of the wall socket.  That bolt transformed into Mega Volt!

            "I know you'll think that this is a really shocking experience!" said Mega Volt.  "Suck volts, do-gooding bozos!"  Mega Volt fired three rays, which surrounded Stegmutt, Morganna, and Neptunia.

            "I'll fix the director and Agent Sillykopf!" said Quacker Jack.  He pointed at Hooter and Grizzlykov.  His sets of snap-teeth clamped themselves on the two.

            "The indignity of this!" said Hooter.  "Darkwing will fix you yet, Quacker Jack!"

            "And how will he stop me?" asked Quacker Jack.  "Oh, I know:  he'll pull his old disappear-into-smoke trick and appear somewhere else!"  Quacker Jack and Mega Volt both laughed.

            Mega Volt said, "Now that we've gotten these do-gooders, let's head for Darkwing Tower and do the remainder of our mass destruction!  Ha, ha, ha!"

            "Yeah!" said Quacker Jack.  "It's time to give Darkwing Tower the works!"

            "Let's go," said Mega Volt.  They ordered their villainous devices to take these good guys back to Negaduck's and Steelbeak's hideout; then, they, themselves, left to Darkwing Tower.

            * * *

            Darkwing Tower.

            At Darkwing Tower, everyone was nervous.  "Oh, dear," said Mrs. Beakley, the nanny for Scrooge McDuck's nephews.  She was about as tall as Launchpad, and she wore a lavender dress.  She was a bit plump.  "They aren't back yet.  I wonder if everything's all right."

            "Oh, I wouldn't count on it, you nanny-goat!" said Quacker Jack, coming in through the window.

            "It's Quacker Jack!" said Huey.

            "My, you got it right on the first try, Huey Duck," said Quacker Jack.  "It's play-time!  Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

            Mega Volt was trying to come in through the wires as a bolt of electricity but was having hardly any success.  Out of a socket was heard, "Confound it!  This blasted electrical system has so many bumps!  Ow!  That turn was at a 10� angle!  Yowch!  That turn was at a 1/2� angle!  OWWWWW!!!  That damn turn was at an angle of a quarter of a degree!"  Finally, Mega Volt arrived out of one socket and fell front-body-flat on the floor.  "Pant!  Pant!  That ride was a real doozy, QJ.  You wouldn't like it.  Ohhhh. . ."  His chin dropped to the floor.

            "Oh, darn, Mega Volt!" said Quacker Jack.  "Are you going to leave them to me?"

            "You deal with them, Quacker," said Mega Volt.  "I handled Neptunia, Morganna, and Stegmutt, remember?"

            "Oh, all right," said Quacker Jack.  "I think it's time to play!  Hee, hee, hee!"

            "We will never play with Quacker Jack Toys!" said Dewey.

            "Yeah!  They're dangerous!" said Louie.

            Quacker Jack yelled, "Oh!  How many times do I have to tell people that MY TOYS ARE NOT DANGEROUS?!?"

            "Then, what else could they be?" asked Webbigail van der Quack, Mrs. Beakley's granddaughter.

            "Oh, puh-leeze!" said Mrs. Crackshell.  "The Quacker Jack Toys at the bottom of Quacker Jack snack boxes are fun."

            "See?" said Quacker Jack.  "I have a supporter!"

            "Are you kidding?" begged Mrs. Crackshell.  "You're a villain!  You're a nasty, low-down, scheming villain.  I love your toys, but I hate you!"

            "That does it!" said Quacker Jack.  "I'm tired of being nice!  I'm taking all of you to Negaduck and Steelbeak!"  Suddenly, an arrow flew into his butt!  "YOWWWWWWW!!!!" screamed Quacker Jack as he leapt as high as the eye could see, then crashed on his chest.  "All right!" shouted he, jumping up.  "Who had the nerve to do that?!?"

            "A little brat with wings and a skimpy little outfit," said Mega Volt.

            "Oh, yeah?" yelled Quacker Jack, turning around.

            "That serves you right-icus!" said Kid Icarus, who just happened to be flying by.

            "Who the hell are you?!?!?" angrily demanded the injured, crazy duck.

            "I am Kid Icarus of the N-Team, Quacker Jack-ius!" said Kid Icarus.  He turned to Mega Volt.  "And how is Sparkie?"

            Mega Volt, recovered, got up and said, "OOH, NO ONE LIVES TO REGRET CALLING ME 'SPARKIE'!!!  Eat volts, N-Twerp!"  Mega Volt fired an electric bolt, which Kid Icarus barely dodged.  "OH, I MISSED!!!  OF ALL THE DAMN LUCK!!!" shouted Mega Volt.

            "Oh, knock it off!" said Quacker Jack.  "Listen, you little arrow-pitching angel.  Keep your arrows out of my rear end from now on, and I'll forget that this ever happened."

            "Forget it, Chuckles!" said Kid Icarus.  "I'm not going to reverse what I said."

            "Don't call me that!!  Mega Volt, deep-fry him!" ordered QJ.

            "Whatever you say, QJ!" said Mega Volt.  He tossed a bolt at Kid Icarus.  Kid Icarus dodged this bolt, too, but by less.  "No!  No, no, no, no, no!  NOOOOOOO!!!"

            Liquidator and Bushroot materialised in the room.  "Do not worry, Mega Volt," said Bushroot.  "I'll take care of Kid Icky!  The Eggplant Wizard's told me all about you, Kid Icarus."

            "So?  Do you believe him?" asked Kid Icarus.

            "Why shouldn't I?  He's a plant."  Bushroot wrapped Kid Icarus up in a weed.

            "Hey!  Stop it-icus!" said Kid Icarus.

            Quacker Jack said, "Hoo, hoo, hoo!  Good going, Dr. Bushroot!  Ha, ha!  That little brat-fink stuck one of his arrows in my butt."

            "So?  You need an arrow stuck in your fat rear, Quacker Junk-head!" said MegaMan, who came in another window.

            "MegaMan!" said Kid Icarus.  "Save me!"

            "Listen, MegaMan, Dr. Wily told me how to flood your circuits," said Liquidator, "so don't mess with us."

            MegaMan said, "So what?  You're a bunch of water. . . Waterhead!"

            "Call me 'Waterhead,' will you?  Okay, android!  You asked for it!" said Liquidator.  MegaMan blasted a DiveMissile into Liquidator.  "Oh, nooooooooo. . .!"  The DiveMissile sent Liquidator spinning.

            "Try taking care of my electricity, MegaMoron!" said Mega Volt, who blasted a ray of powerful electricity at MegaMan.

            "Whoa!" MegaMan said as he leapt over the electric ray and made it electrify Bushroot.

            "Yaaaaaah!" screamed Bushroot.  When the ray had finished its effect on Bushroot, he said, "Whew!  I'm glad I lasted!"  He fell on the floor.

            Mega Volt tried to blast more electricity at MegaMan, but could not.  "Aw, nuts!  That journey through Dimwing's electric system left me with less power."

            "It's play-time!" said Quacker Jack.  "Get a load of my wind-up snapping teeth!  Hoo, hoo!"  Quacker Jack released a bunch of snapping teeth at MegaMan.  MegaMan tried his blasters on the teeth, but the teeth were too tough for any of MegaMan's weapons.  Finally, the teeth put the 'bite' on MegaMan.

            "Yaah!  You dirty, mega-rotten skunk!  You don't mega-play fair!" said MegaMan.

            "All's fair in war, 'droid," said Quacker Jack.  "Let's all get back to Negaduck's lair and show him what we've done."

            Still a little shaky, Liquidator said, "Sounds fine to me."

            "Let's get the hell back there," said a very angry Mega Volt.  "I want to recharge my electrical powers before I run out of personal energy."

            * * *

            Steelbeak's Lair, Saint Canard.

            Back at Negaduck's hideout, Steelbeak, Negaduck, Ammonia Pine, all the Mob, and all the Brain-Team were in conversation when Quacker Jack, Mega Volt, Dr. Reginald Bushroot, and Liquidator stepped in with their recent catch.  Steelbeak said, "Well, I see you accomplished your mission.  Heh, heh, heh, heh!"

            "I forgot to tell you," said Bushroot to Quacker Jack and Mega Volt.  "Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa's Brain-Team and Mon*Star's Mob warped here with us."

            "I forgot to comment on your extremely efficient system of travel, Liquidator," said Ludwig.

            "I think it's time to call High-Command," said Ammonia Pine.  "What say, Steelbeak?"

            "Hey," said Steelbeak, "that's, like, a great idea."  DW was tied to the wall.  "What say you, Dimwing?"

            "You will never get away with this, Steelbeak!" said Darkwing.

            Steelbeak said, "Oh, yeah, Dimwing?  Says who?"  Steelbeak called High-Command by using a remote control pointed toward a TV screen.

            "Good day, Agent Steelbeak," said the Duck-Leader, the only one under the sign marked 'F.O.W.L.'  "The rest of High-Command is at dinner.  What have you to report?"

            "I report," said Steelbeak, "that Agents Mega Volt, Bushroot, Liquidator, and Quacker Jack have finished capturing Darkwimp Dumbo's team.  They also have two members from another do-gooding team."

            "There is another do-gooding team?" asked the amazed Duck-Leader.  "Oh, this is terrible!  Identify them."

            "There are the N-Team, headed by Captain N, Princess Lana, and Perry Mason; the Mario-Team, headed by Mario, Ludwig von(Spike)Koopa, Queen Toadstool, and King Spike Koopa; the Silver Hawks, headed by Steelheart; and the Thunder Cats, headed by Lion-O."

            "I've heard of them before.  You aren't pulling my leg, are you?  I would hate that," said the Duck-Leader.

            "It ain't no joke."

            "I still hate it.  I WANT THEM STOPPED!!!  I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES, AGENT STEELBEAK!!!  JUST STOP THEM!!!"  The screen turned off.

            "Boy!" said Steelbeak.  "The Duck-Leader sure is in a foul mood.  Get it?  Fowl?  Heh, heh, heh, heh!"

            Negaduck said, "I get it, Steelbeak.  Well, if it isn't Kid Icarus and his metal pal, MegaMan.  How are you?"

            "I've seen mega-better days, Negajerk!" said MegaMan.

            "Well!" said Negaduck.  "It appears that the Duck-Leader of F.O.W.L. High-Command isn't the only one who's in a bad mood today!"

            A few minutes later, Steelbeak looked at his watch and said, "Like, I'll call the Vulture-Leader for a few suggestions.  He's usually back at this time and the Duck-Leader is usually at dinner."  He flipped on the screen and a communication line to High-Command.  Now, only the Vulture-Leader was under the F.O.W.L. sign.

            "Ah, good evening, Agent Steelbeak," said the Vulture-Leader.  "Boy, you sure put a bad mood into the Duck-Leader a few minutes ago!  I thought that she'd never stop yelling!  Now, what was it you called me about?"

            Steelbeak said, "Well, sir, do you mind if I ask for a few suggestions?"

            "Why not?  Go ahead."

            "How shall I fix those do-gooders about whom I told her?"

            "Find Tuskerninni and Moliarity.  They will be able to help.  Also find Mumm-ra and his Plundarrian cohorts.  If they are not on third-Earth, they will probably be on New Thundera."

            "Thank you, sir."

            "Oh, and Steelbeak,. . ."

            "Yes, sir?"

            ". . .watch your back.  From what I've heard, those good guys can really hurt."

            "No problemo!" said Steelbeak.  "Farewell!"

            "Farewell," said the Vulture-Leader.  The screen flipped off automatically.

            "Quacker Jack and Dr. Reginald Bushroot, get three F.O.W.L. Egg-Men for each of you and look for Moliarity and Tuskerninni," said Steelbeak.

            "Whatever you say, Steelbeak," said Quacker Jack.

            "Whatever you say, Steelbeak," said Bushroot.  Quacker Jack and Bushroot left the room, summoned six F.O.W.L. Egg-Men, took three a-piece, decided who would look for whom, and left, Bushroot heading for the caverns and Quacker Jack heading for the Bad Part of Town.

            Mega Volt said, "If you don't mind, Steelbeak, I'm going to help Quacker Jack."

            Steelbeak said, "Yeah, go right ahead.  And, hey, the next time anyone calls you the S-P-word, don't react so harshly unless it's a do-gooder, all right?"

            "All right, Steelbeak," said Mega Volt.  He left.
