Quackerjack and Megavolt struggled against the rope that was wrapped around their bodies.
"This is your fault, you know that?" Quackerjack made his doll Mr. Banana Brain say.
"No, it's not!" the insane, electric supervillain snapped. "It's because your stupid squirt flower short-circuited me."
"It's because the bolts you shot around destroyed my toy darlings, Sparky!"
"DON'T CALL ME SPARKY!"
"Well, well, well..." Darkwing Duck smugly said. "That's another evil plot thwarted by the cunning skills of Darkwing Duck!"
Ken sweatdropped as he looked at the still arguing pair of supervillains. "Are they always like that?"
"Yes, more or less," Darkwing shrugged. "Maybe not as much when Negaduck commands them."
"Nega... duck?" Ken asked in disbelief.
"Of course!" the caped superhero said grimly while sitting down on his trusty Ratcatcher motorcycle. "My worst adversary! And I STILL didn't manage to catch him. Every time I think I came up with a fool-proof plan, one of the other would-be-villains like Megavolt, Quackerjack, Bushroot, Tuskerninni or the Liquidator intervenes."
Ken exchanged a worried look with Wormmon. What kind of city was this, if there were so many weirdos running around?
Ken looked over to where the police was carting the two villains off to prison. "And when you fight all of those guys... you always do this by yourself?"
"Well, mostly..." Darkwing replied. "Of course, there's always my loyal sidekick Launchpad... and sometimes this so-called 'hero' Gizmoduck shows up in town... but he's more like a nuisance. Hah! He should leave the crime-fighting to the REAL superheroes!"
"Say... Mr. Darkwing..."
"Just Darkwing to my fans, please!" the superhero chuckled.
"Well then, Darkwing... you know, Wormmon and I are kinda... lost. We aren't exactly citizens and never have been in this town. Also, we're looking for our friends..."
"Don't say anything more," Darkwing said as he turned around in his seat. "You want me, St. Canards greatest hero, to help you find your lost friends, is that correct?"
"I suppose we could use your help, yeah..."
"Well, it IS my job to help those in need... And I can't say I'm really surprised that you are new in town. After all, it's not like there are many humans living around here."
"So... you mean everyone around here is just like you?" Wormmon asked.
"NO ONE is just like me," Darkwing shot back, slightly offended.
"He meant if everyone living here in - St. Canard, was it? - would be... Well, a humanoid animal."
"Hmmm..." Darkwing scratched his chin. "Interesting way to put it. I already heard 'antropomorphs' or 'furries', but I think I prefer your choice of words. Okay then, about your friends... don't worry, my boy! I shall find them before you can say 'Let's get dangerous!'"
"Umm..." Wormmon said in confusion. "Let's get dangerous?"
"Hey, that's my line!" Darkwing shouted. "Now, please come along with me, so I can ask my infallible computer, back at my hideout, about your friends. Maybe there's some information about them stored in my database... if not, we can still search from above, in my personal airplane, the Thunderquack!"
Wormmon blinked, then looked up to his friend. "Um, Ken? I somehow have the feeling that something bad will happen if we trust in the abilitys of this guy."
"I know what you mean," Ken sighed. "But we really have no other choice, have we? I mean, we are stranded in an unknown world of... let's say BIZARRE proportions, and we wouldn't know where to start to search for the others by ourselves."
"Hey, I don't have the whole night," Darkwing shouted. "So if you two would please enter the side car, so we can leave?"
"Oh, of course!"
They got in, and Darkwing got ready to start his vehicle.
CRASH!
"Heh, heh..." Darkwing chuckled weakly and looked back, where half of the Ratcatcher was embedded in the house wall. "I guess that was the reverse gear..."
"Ken..." Wormmon mumbled.
"Yes?" Ken asked dizzily.
"We're doomed!"
----
On the other side of St. Canard, a trio of persons stood in-between the huge storehouses that were located at the harbor.
Strangely enough, only one of those guys would look out of place in this town, a white-haired boy with two fierce eyes who looked down at his two companions with a piercing glare.
"You know we WOULD have been able to turn around the Gummi Jet if you two hadn't broken the steering stick, right?"
"We're sorry!" Donald and Goofy said sheepishly while looking down at the ground.
"And you know we would have been able to tell the others about our situation if you hadn't smashed the radio equipment in your fit of rage, right, Donald?"
"I'm sorry!" the duck sighed.
"And you know we just MIGHT have been able to fix everything if you didn't forget to bring some tools with you, right, Goofy?"
"I'm sorry, Riku!" Goofy muttered.
Riku sighed. "Never mind... Oh well, maybe we can find something to fix our Gummi Ship in this world..."
"You're right," Donald nodded. "And maybe one of Kari's friends is around here, too."
Riku smirked. "I suppose you two got that confidence from Sora, did you?"
"Well, it helps us to never give up, even if things look bad," Goofy smiled.
"I suppose so..." the white-haired boy sighed. "Okay, anyone got a clue which world this could be?"
Goofy shook his head. Donald tapped his chin. "You know... something about it looks familiar... but I can't put my finger on it."
Riku shook his head. "Never mind... we will just have to find out, will we? Okay, let's go!"
And while Riku, Donald and Goofy left the scene, an observant pair of eyes was watching them from the shadows.
"So let me get this straight..." the black-masked duck asked in his sinister voice. "You want me to get rid of those three twerps, and in exchange I get the power to control those... how did you call them... Heartless?"
"Why, yes!" Mirage smirked. "And if you sign this binding, magical contract, I'll even pay you in advance."
"Hmmm..." Negaduck pondered while reading through the glowing piece of paper. "Sounds tempting... are you sure there is no small print?"
"Would you ever doubt what I say?" the enchantress asked in a hurt voice.
"Yes," Negaduck exclaimed. "But that's okay, because there's really only one person I'll ever trust."
Mirage raised an eyebrow. "And that would be?"
Darkwing Duck's archnemesis grinned. "Me!" He chuckled. "Okay, I guess I'll sign your pretty little contract..."
"Just like this?"
"Well, let's just say I would really, really like to see those Heartless rip out Darkwing's heart. Nyeheheheheh... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
