Saint Canard, Darkwing's Earth.
I Simon yawned. "It wouldn't be the first time he caught a criminal," said he. He pretended to be indifferent towards Kevin, but he really was not. He was beginning to really like the guy.
"Let's just get up there and mega-save Darkwing!" said MegaMan.

Up in the top of the skyscraper, Negaduck and the rest of the F.O.W.L. agents were in conference again. Liquidator had returned with the money. Mega Volt was still with Ludwig. "Feast your eyes," said Steelbeak, "on the vast amount of cash stolen by the villainous Liquidator!" He snapped his fingers and said, "Oh, girls!" Two girls, both in pipe-like costumes, came out.
They sang, along with Steelbeak, "He's wet and he's cool, he's really hip! He may be made of water, but he's no drip! Doo-wah!"
"You're darned right!" replied the Vulture-Leader of High-Command. "Has Mega Volt not come back yet?"
Steelbeak said, "Mega Volt hasn't come back yet, High-Command." Mega Volt warped into the room with von(Bowser)Koopa. "Correction!"
"Hey, High-Command!" said Mega Volt. "I just got back."
The Duck-Leader asked, "Did you accomplish your mission?"
Mega Volt answered, "With flying sparks! I even was able to capture the Silver Hawks, some of the Thunder Cats, and Captain N! Heh, heh, heh!"
"Have you any proof?"
"Yeah!" said Mega Volt. "Over to you, my dear Ludwig."
In the direction of the warp zone, von(Bowser)Koopa said, "All right, Luna, bring them in! Hee, hee, hee!" The Luna-tacks brought in all the Silver Hawks cuffed to a straight, thick sheet of metal. Then, they brought in the captured Thunder Cats (Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro, and Snarf) in the same manner. The villains present ooh'd and ah'd. Ludwig had dealt with Kevin in a different manner, though. The Game Master was in a device keeping him at absolute zero (-459�F[arenheit], 0 K[elvins], -273�C[elsius]). "Notice," said Ludwig, "how I keep Captain N, leader of the N-Team, alive while forcing him to remain helpless. The zero-degree-Kelvin temperatures are keeping him so cold that his bodily processes are not functioning. The processes of his entire body are suspended. He is still alive, but he is not operating. I carefully reduced the temperature, too. I needed to be extra-careful in dropping the temperature to keep him alive. Notice, if you will, the frozen particles surrounding his body. That is frozen air. That helps him remain alive. In essence, he is cryogenically frozen."
"You're as nutty as I am!" said Quacker Jack. "You're also as diabolical as I. Hoo, hoo, hoo!" He 'ventriloquised' the next sentence in falsetto so that it looked like his doll, Mr. Banana-Brain, was speaking. "Yep! This guy's nuttier than a bag of cashews!" The N-Team and the Mario-Team sprang in.
"You've definitely got that right!" said Princess Zelda, aiming her energy-bow at Quacker Jack.
"Oh, it's the N-Team!" said Quacker Jack. "I should have known that you'd ruin our fun, you spoilsports!"
"Don't worry about this little disturbance," said Mega Volt, "BECAUSE I AM GOING TO FRICASSEE THEM ALONG WITH THE OTHERS!!! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!" Mega Volt blasted the N-Team with more of his lethal voltage. "IT'S ELECTROCUTION TIME!!! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!" A little later, Mega Volt had all the Silver Hawks, all the N-Team, Lion-O, Snarf, Cheetara, Tygra, Panthro, and Darkwing on the wall. Kevin was still entrapped in the deep-freeze.
Quacker Jack said, "Ha, ha, ha! Mega Volt is going to light up your life! Once we have all of the members of your association, it is going to be barbecue time! Ha, ha, ha!"
"That is true!" said Liquidator. "When we capture the entire N-Team, you guys are going to be fried by the incredibly shocking Mega Volt!"
"And," continued Bushroot, "once he has done that, we, the entire mass of the Brain-Team, shall turn this galaxy into our own personal empire!"
"Hoo, hoo, hoo!" laughed Quacker Jack. "When we have our empire, we're going to rob the entire Galactic Gold Reserve! Ha, ha, ha! Not even the entire planet on which Saint Canard is firmly situated will be able to stand the weight of the money that is in that place! Ha, ha, ha! Then, we'll make our own personal devices of devastation and make it so that nothing is left of this galaxy but smoke and soot! Ha, ha, ha! Just for the fun of it! Hee, hee, hee!" He dropped on his back and laughed his evil heart out.
