Old Haunt, Bad Part of Town, Saint Canard, Darkwing's Earth.

At the Old Haunt in the Bad Part of Town, Steelheart, Captain N, Lion-O, Prince Ludwig von(Spike)Koopa, and Mario arrived.  Steelheart said, "It sure isn't the most elegant place I've seen in Saint Canard."

            "Correct," said Mario, "but I'm as wet as a water-doused meatball.  Let's enter."

            "Let's put on our disguises first," said Ludwig.  In the Old Haunt, several unsavoury, unsophisticated criminals were playing games.  Quacker Jack, Mega Volt, and three F.O.W.L. Egg-Men were also inside.  Quacker Jack and the Egg-Men were racking up points on the games while Mega Volt was, in an air of extreme glum, recharging his evil battery.

            Mega Volt said to no one in particular, "I tell you, if I ever get my batteries fully recharged, I'm going turn that cursèd Darkwing Duck into deep-fried chicken."  He turned up the battery charger until the pointer on a gauge was just out of the danger zone.  He then situated his left arm flat on the table, his right elbow on the table, and his chin on his right hand.  Power flowed from the battery into cables connected to the electrical connectors on top of his head.

            "Hey, Pete," said Mega Volt to the bartender, "give me a beer."  The bartender nodded, got a can of beer, poured it into a sweat-proof glass, and stuck a straw into the drink.  He handed the glass to Mega Volt.  "Ah, thank you!"  He drank his beer.  "Ah, that feels so much better."

            After taking two or three sips, he called, "Quacker Jack, come over here, please."  Quacker Jack went over to Mega Volt and took a seat in a chair next to Mega Volt.

            "What is it, Mega Volt?" asked Quacker Jack.

            "I'm beginning to think," said Mega Volt, "that Tuskerninni is not coming here today.  Why do you and the Egg-Men not go search around?  I'll call if Tuskerninni and his penguins waddle in here."

            "Okay," said Quacker Jack.  "What if some do-gooders come in here?"

            "If I find any," said Mega Volt, "I'll fricassee them so much that they'll wish they never came into this joint."

            "Whatever you say, Mega Volt," said Quacker Jack, getting up and going over to his F.O.W.L. Egg-Men.  "Hey, Egg-Men!  Let's go look around!"  The three Egg-Men responded by leaving their games and exiting.  Right after they exited, Quacker Jack exited.

            Mega Volt had just fully recharged his battery when the N-Team, disguised, came in.  The first one to come in, Steelheart, burst open the door and whacked aside those playing games near the door.  After her, Captain N, Lion-O, Mario, and Ludwig von(Spike)Koopa came in.  All five of them acted convincingly tough.  "I wonder who they are," said Mega Volt, finishing his beer.  He kept a suspicious eye on them.

            "Bartender," said Steelheart in a tough-guy type of tone and voice, "give me a beer."  No thug with a fourth of a brain would dare mess with her or Steelwill; nature had made them the strongest humans in history.  Anyone could tell she had the muscle to back up her words.

            The bartender, almost half-frightened, fixed a beer for her.  "Here you go," said he.

            Tuskerninni and his penguins entered from the rain.  Mega Volt did something harmless to attract Tuskerninni's attention.  Noticing this, Tuskerninni immediately went over to a chair next to Mega Volt and sat in it.  "Hello, Tuskerninni," said Mega Volt.  "We've been looking for you."

            "For me?" asked Tuskerninni.  "For what reason?"

            "Getting rid of Darkwing Duck and pals," said Mega Volt.  "Hang on a second."  Mega Volt removed a radio from his pocket and called Quacker Jack.  "This is Mega Volt calling Quacker Jack.  Over."

            Quacker Jack's voice answered, "Mega Volt, I'm in trouble!  Has Tuskerninni come in yet?"

            "Yes," answered Mega Volt.  "What is wrong?"

            "I've been caught," said Quacker Jack, "by N-Team members answering to the names of Steelwill, Quicksilver, Tygra, Luigi, Prince Larry (Spike)Koopa, and Link.  What am I to do?"

            "Oh, no!" gasped Mega Volt.  "Stall 'em!  Tuskerninni and I will get out there and find you!  Mega Volt out!"  Mega Volt cut communication.  "Let's go, Tuskerninni!"  The N-Team members in the bar saw Mega Volt and Tuskerninni leave.

            Steelheart finished her drink, whispered to Kevin, "Don't worry about me, Kevin.  My digestive system has been modified by electronic circuitry so as not to let alcohol enter my bloodstream," laid her glass on the table, handed the money to the bartender in Canardian Dollars (converted from Limbo Dollars after a lot of haggling over monetary value), and left with her friends.  Once outside the bar, they tossed off their disguises.  Steelheart shouted, "Hold it right there, you two villains!"

            He and Tuskerninni turning around, Mega Volt said, "Oh, nuts!  It's Steelheart and the N-Team!"

            "Let's make a run for it, Mega Volt!" said Tuskerninni.  "This is the chase scene!"  Tuskerninni and Mega Volt did, indeed, make a run for it.  Steelheart, Captain N, Mario, Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa, and Lion-O ran after them.

            "You aren't running anywhere, you criminals!" said Mario, removing a Fire Flower from his pocket and charging up with the Fire Flower's powers.  "Try a taste of my fireballs, Mega Volt!"  Mario blasted fireballs at the running Mega Volt and Tuskerninni.

            "Ouch!" said Mega Volt, getting hit from behind.  "Damn!  Running in this rain is making me lose power!  EAT VOLTS, LASAGNE-LOVING PEST!!!"  Mega Volt blasted a ray of electricity at Mario, whom it hit.

            "Yaaah!" screamed Mario.  After this scream his firepower left him.  "Uh, oh!  I just ran out of firepower!"

            Still running, Mega Volt turned his head around, put his thumbs where his ears were supposed to be, pointed his fingers up, stuck out his tongue, and said, "Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah!  Pbbbbbbbb!"  Mega Volt resumed normal running.  "Ha, ha, ha!  Serves you right, linguine-brain!"  Mega Volt ran into someone who was running the opposite way.  After this, Tuskerninni ran into Mega Volt.  All three crashed onto the ground.  "All right!  Who. . . Quacker Jack?"

            Regaining consciousness, the other person, Quacker Jack, said, "Mega Volt?"

            The three Egg-Men tripped over Quacker Jack and crashed right behind Mario.  "Aren't those F.O.W.L. Egg-Men?" Mario asked.

            "They sure are, brother," answered Luigi.

            "I am going to say this only once.  I absolutely demand an explanation!" shouted Steelheart.

            "Well," answered Quicksilver, "we decided to come along to the Bad Part of Town and see what was in Mega Volt's lair.  Just before we got there, we saw Quacker Jack and F.O.W.L. Egg-Men.  When he spotted us, he and his pals started running.  We ran after him.  Mega Volt called him, and he told Mega Volt that we were after him and his thugs.

            "Well, lo and behold, we saw that he was running toward the Old Haunt.  We were about to call you until we saw Mega Volt running from you.  We decided to refrain from doing so.  Quacker Jack had turned around and said, 'You'll never catch us, N-Dopes!'  After that, Quacker Jack, Mega Volt, and Tuskerninni crashed into each other.  That's about it."

            "Thanks for the help, guys," said Steelheart.

            "Likewise," said Steelwill.  "All right, Quacker Jack, where is Negaduck and Steelbeak's hideout?"

            "That is none of your business!" said Quacker Jack.

            "We are enforcers of the law," informed Tygra.  "We have full legal right to such knowledge.  Besides, between us, I think we have enough muscle to convince you that you should talk."

            "My beak," said Quacker Jack, "is sealed."

            "Then, we'll bust you for concealment of evidence," said Steelheart.

            "Then, bust me, too, because my mouth is shut!" said Mega Volt.

            "Oh, that really isn't too necessary," said Moliarity, with a huge laser cannon.  The good guys turned towards him.  Along with him were Dr. Reginald Bushroot and Liquidator.  "Allow me to introduce myself.  I am Professor Moliarity, a mad scientist with a knack for electronics."

            Steelheart said, "You look like a reject from a college that requires a low SAT score."

            "Oh, that does it!" said Moliarity, infuriated.  "Say good-bye to tomorrow, Silver Hawk!"

            "Hee, hee, hee!" said Mon*Star, coming down on his flying squid, Sky-Runner.  "Oh, that won't be necessary, Moliarity!  I'll take care of them!"  Mon*Star got blasted out of his seat by a blue music laser.  He screamed as he fell to the ground.  He landed right on Moliarity!

            "Oof!" said Moliarity as Mon*Star fell on him.  "Hey!  What are you trying to do, bust my butt?"

            "I am not," said Mon*Star.  "I don't know about Bluegrass, though."  Bluegrass, who had blasted Mon*Star, landed the Mirage just beside the road.  He got out and went over to Steelheart.

            "Good work, cowboy," said Steelheart.  "Now, we have one more to take to jail."  The wicked Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa entered the scene.

            "Good day, N-Team.  I trust you are - heh, heh! - enjoying your visit?" said the powerful villain.

            "Fine," said Steelheart.  "And yourself, snake-face?"

            "Don't get him ticked off," said Kevin.  "You don't like him when he's angry."

            "A most valuable observation," said Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa.  "And how are you, my good cousin?"

            "I'd rather be a witness for the prosecution, with you as the defendant," answered Ludwig von(Spike)Koopa.

            "Ha, ha, I see," replied smoothly Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa.  He withdrew his evil sceptre from his shell.  "You know, as much as I hate to, I must take you in to High-Command."

            "Since when does the powerful Prince Ludwig 'Kooky' von(Bowser)Koopa have to do what F.O.W.L. High-Command says?" asked Captain N in a condescending manner.

            The villain calmly answered, "They asked me to supervise the capture of the entire N-Team, so I decided to help them out."  He aimed his sceptre at them.

            "You'll have to do better than shooting a ray from an elaborate gun to stop us!" said Steelheart.  She blasted a laser at the sceptre.  When the laser struck the sceptre, the sceptre absorbed the laser, flashed a few times, and then blasted the laser back and knocked out Steelheart.  Steelwill gasped.

            Ludwig said, "Powerful lady, but I doubt that even she could beat me now. . . now that I've increased my power 400%.  Now,. . ."  He fired a beam from his sceptre and stunned the rest of the good guys in a second.  ". . .good night, guys!

            Mega Volt got up.  "-Groan!-  What a knock-out."  He shook his head and fully regained consciousness.  He put his index fingers together, but only the smallest of sparks was made.  "Aw, nuts!  Blast it all!  I need an F-wording complete recharge!  Oh, that Darkwing Duck!  Had he not deflected that electricity back at me, I wouldn't be in this sorry state!  And I just recharged my power in the Old Haunt completely!  DARN IT ALL, THIS IS THE FAULT OF THAT DAMNED DARKWING DUCK!!!  I HATE THAT CURSÈD DUCK!!!  I'LL FRY HIS F-WORDING BEAK OFF!!!"

            "Cool it!" said Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa.

            "Prince Ludwig!" shouted Mega Volt.  He zipped over to Ludwig and started kissing his feet.  "Oh, am I glad to see you!"

            "Knock it off," said Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa, who then blasted Mega Volt with his sceptre.

            "Yow!" screamed Mega Volt.  "What was that for, Your Wickedness?"

            Prince von(Bowser)Koopa said, "That was to completely repair and completely recharge your battery.  Your problem was that Darkwing Duck had completely knocked the storage power out of your battery and that he also had increased the time to recharge to maximum power by a thousand percent.  I just reduced your normal recharge-to-maximum-power-time to fifty percent, and also quintupled  your total storage capacity.  You'll also be able to hold a charge for a month if you use it as usual."

            "Thanks!" said Mega Volt.  "All right, you do-gooding buffoons!  It's to Negaduck's lair for you!"

            "I'll take care of them," said Liquidator.  He clapped his hands twice, then a wave of water came down from the cloud and swooped up the N-Team, taking them to Negaduck's lair.  "Well, now, Agent Steelbeak can take care of them!"

            A warp zone formed in the sky.  Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo fell out of it and onto the street.  King Hippo got up, peeled Eggplant Wizard (whom he had squashed) off the street, straightened him out, blew him up by blowing into his nose as though he were a balloon, laid him on the ground, and then proceeded to punch the unfortunate sorcerer in the face!  Eggplant Wizard fell on his back, at which time vegetables came popping out of him.  "Serves you right, squash-face!  I told you we should have turned right at the Mirror Warp Zone!"

            "Why are you two late?" demanded von(Bowser)Koopa.  "You irritate me quite a lot more than the N-Team!"

            "Sorry, Your Sneakiness," said Eggplant Wizard, getting up, "but flabbo here had us take the wrong turn at the Mirror Zone!"

            "I did?  You liar!" said King Hippo.  "It was your fault!"
