Shock Treatment

by Snap
The sun dawned on the city of St.canard and Rena awoke quite bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. She yawned and walked downstairs to the empty house. Normally the place would be filled with people, but being a Saturday, most of the F5 were either locked up or passed out from drinking at the Old Haunt. Rena yawned and grabbed a cup of coffee and spit it out.

"SPPPPTH!! oh yuck!! fertilizer!!" She was very sickened and rushed upstairs to scrape her tongue. “I told Reggie not to leave that stuff in the house!!"

After scrubbing her tongue twice she made a fresh pot of coffee and laid books out on the table to study for her upcoming finals. She glanced at the morning paper and something caught her eye. "Hmm, rare mystic Kelem necklace found and is put in the St. Canard display.."

Before she could even read another a word the door flung open and Mega Volt came in looking rather tired. Rena looked at him, worried. "What's wrong? How c.."

Before she could say another word Megs quickly covered her mouth. "Do you have to be so loud?!!" He gathered some fruit from the fridge and threw it in the blender. He cringed from the noise. "Ugh, why do blenders have to be so noisy?"

Rena frowned and waved her finger in his face. "You went and got wasted again, didn't you!?"

Megs squinted his eyes from the glare of the sun that shot out of the window and quickly pulled down the shade. "Ahh, much better." He slurped down his drink and slumped in the chair. "Um....yeah, so what!?" He put his jumper cables on his hat and tried to recharge.

"What do you MEAN so what!??" She looked at his battery monitor. "And why is your battery so low? You looked so wiped out!! Every day for the past week you been doing this. What’s going on with you!!?"

Megs got up quickly and flung his arms in the air "Who are you, my mother?!!" Grabbing his recharger and stuffing it in the bag: "No more questions!! I hate questions!!"

Rena frowned and poked him in the nose "I would of expected something like this from Cousin Negs, but not you!!"

"Well, everyone discovers new and shocking thing every day, Rena, ha ha." He hugged her and shoved some of his electronics he left into a duffle bag. "HEH, maybe you should break out of your old routine, Rena, and make a change..you may like it." Smiling a bit, he flung it over his shoulders.

Rena looked a little confused about his sudden mood-change. "Where do you think you're going? You just got here."

"Uh...just meeting with the guys today." He put some of the fruit drink inside a container. "Hmmm, um.... may need some of this for the hangover." Megs patted her on the head and happily left out the door.

Rena just stood there, rather angry. "Humph!! WELL, I'm gonna go have fun with the girls, then!! So there!!" Realizing he had already left, she stomped upstairs, got dressed, and walked out the door. Suddenly she stopped. "Wait a minute...I don't have any girls!" *pouts* "That's not fair!! Megs gets to party and rob banks ...but I don't have no one to do that with...well, to party with, anyways." She angrily stomped back in the house and slammed the door.

************************************************************************

In a rundown house in the bad part of town, the F4 waited for their fifth member to arrive. Negaduck paced back and forth like a caged animal. "Where in the hell is that electronic rodent?!" He looked at his skull watch. "He should have been here over an hour ago!!"

QuackerJack, Liquidator,and Bush Root just stood quietly, trying not to make Negs madder then he was. Bushroot nudged QuackerJack and whispered to him, "Where do you think he is?"

*shrugs* "How would I know that? I haven't seen Sparky for over a week. The last time I saw him was at our last bank robbery together....HMF!! *crosses arms* You would think he would call a guy!!"

Bushroot smacked his face. "You’re always with him!!...If I didn't know any better I would think you two would be joined at the hip."

QJ took out Mr. Banana Brain. "Where is he, you idiot?! I told you, I don't know!! You stupid piece of fruit!!!" He threw the doll accidentally at Negs. "Oops..s..sorry..bb.boss…"

Negaduck glared at him. "You stupid clown!!!" Grabbing him violently and shaking him: "Do you think I have time for this!?! We have big plans tonight!!" Nega Duck shoved a paper in his face.

Quacker Jack looked at it upside down. "What is it, boss?"

Negs took the paper and swatted it on QJ's head. "THIS, boys, is our BIG BREAK!! Not only is this necklace a rare item but also a very expensive item!! Hah!! Every rich shark in the country will want a piece of this!!"

Quacker Jack shook his head. "OOOooooo. But why would they want that piece of junk!!?"

"BECAUSE.." Negs grabbed his beak, "…they believe it has some mystical properties to it."

Bushroot looked at the paper. "Hhmmm, it says that it has the power to raze a persons strength..and restore balance—"

Negs grabbed the paper from him. "Yeah, yeah, mumbo jumbo blah blah blah!! All I'm interested in is the profit it will make." Nega Duck goes towards the exit. "Screw this, I'm sick of waiting, let's go collect the weapons we need and get on with our lives!! "

Quacker Jack smiled. "YAY!!" *claps hands* "We get to visit Snicker Snap!! OH BOY she's so much fun!!!" Jack bounced out the door.

Liquidator slid alongside him. "HMM, that reminds me, I wonder if she's looking for a business partner?"

Bush Root rolled his eyes. "I don't think she'll want you near her guns."

"Why?"

Quacker Jack laughed "That's easy. You’ll rust them silly."

"Oh, right."

************************************************************************

The car pulled up in front of Snicker Snap's warehouse. Quacker Jack smiled with joy. "OH, OH, do you think she'll show us her latest weapons?!! OOOOH I love her style!!"

Negs gripped to the steering wheel. "Would you shut th...."

Quacker Jack interrupted him. "OOH I almost forgot!!!! EEEEEEEE, I was going to ask her to help me make my latest TOY!!!!!" *jumps up and down*

Liquidator smiled. "Hey, I hope she's up for that proposition!!!"

Bushroot sighed. "I hope she marries me."

Negaduck burned with rage. "SHUT UUUUUUUP!!!!!!" Quickly they turned silent. "NO ONE is showing toys...no business, no marriage, NOTHING!!! All I want you to do is let me handle my BUSINESS, OKAAAAAAY?!!!!" They nodded. "Good, I don't want you screwing this up!! We need the best weapons for the job, and to keep Dirt Wing off our back!!"

They all entered the place, finding Snicker Snap quickly running out from her gun room. She smiled. "Nice to see your faces again...soooo soon....What are you doing here?!!" The purple-haired duck walked towards them.

Negaduck looked at her and tried not to stare for too long. He had to admit, he loved that punk rock-look she had going. "We need guns...lots of guns."

Quacker Jack grinned. "Ooooo, I feel like I'm in the Matrix, hehehahahahahah." Liquidator slapped him upside the head. "Ouch!!..."

Snicker Snap lit up a big smile. "Guns, eh?!!" She closed her warehouse entrance and covered the windows quickly. She pushed a couple of buttons and tons of weapons and ammo came out of their hidden compartments. "Now...what can I do you for? Anything!! Hurry up!! I have places to GO and people to....do....err...kill!!" Before Negs could answer she jumped on a cargo box and grabbed a big flame-thrower. "How about this baby" she smirked seductively and stroked the gun. “This will certainly light up your afternoon! OR! How about this handsome 5.50 destabilizer?" She licked the gun slowly. "One blow from this puppy and you can destabilize any one...My own design, of course."

Bushroot blushed and QuackerJack's jaw dropped to the floor. "Wow....what a freak!!"

Liquidator smiled. * sighs* "Yeah, the kind you can't take home to Mother."

Nega Duck smirked. "This is good, Snap.... glad to see you hard at work...but I think today we'll go with the highest ranked weapons..."

Snicker Snap happily handed him a whole bunch of guns. "GREAT!!! Now will that be cash or charge!?"

Nega Duck fumbled for his words. "Uh..um…"

Snicker Snap quickly put all the guns in a suitcase and loaded them in the car. "Alright, let's just put it on your tab, OK?..OK then!!!!" She started to push them all out of the warehouse...

Megs fumbled out of the backroom covered in cable wires..."Ack!!!! GUYS!!"

Nega Duck went towards him, very pissed off. "Where in the HELL have you been?!! I've been waiting for you forEVER, you stupid KNOB!!!!".

Snap interrupted him. "He’s been waiting here for you!!! DUH!! He thought maybe he could..."

MegaVolt quickly jumped in: "I wanted to get a ...a new weapon ...because....."

She again came in. "His broke, he just was coming to see if I could maybe fix his gun for him, that’s all!! "

Negs looked at them both. Then he glared at Snap. "Why didn't you tell me he was here!!?"

After a bit of silence she looked at Megs and then shrugged. "What am I.....his keeper?" She slowly walked up to a chair and sat down and propped her boots on a table. "He's your henchmen, I just supply him with whatever he needs."

Negs quickly turned to Mega Volt, who was shuffling his feet. Megs slowly started backing away from his pissed-off boss. Nega duck waved the gun in Megs' face. "If you do anything like that again...this is the last thing you will see. Got me?"

*gulp* "Y..yes boss.." *nervous laughter* "Hehehaha…" He wiped the sweat off his brow and looked back at Snap and then looked at his feet. "Well, uh...I better be going now. Bye boss!!"

Before he could get one foot out the door Negs dragged him back in by his collar. "YOU IDIOT!! Do you really think that we’re done?!! We have a important things to do!! We need your SPARK, knob!!!"

"B..but boss, I...Um," Megs nervously rubbed the back of his head, "I, uh...."

Negs grabbed him by the arm and pointed the gun up his nose. "Let's try this again. Shall we?.....ehem....'You have to bring your SPARK, knob'.....then you say...."

Mega Volt sweated. "Uh...yes...yeah. Sure boss. Whatever y...you n-n-need, hehe…"

"Goooood." He threw a bag at him. "Now carry these guns to the car....And I better not have no more crap from you...and that goes for all of you!!!"

Snicker Snap got out a piece of wood and started whittling. "So...what bank are you robbing tonight?"

He fixed his hat and got close to her. "Well. Since when are you interested in what I do?...." Negs smirked. " I thought you only do the business...you know...Actually you never ask me where I'm going..Hehe. You wanna tag along?...I need something pretty look at while I'm dealing with these KNOBS!!"

She smiled and played with her spiked necklace. "NAH..that's ok..I'm not into short shifty little mugs like you anyway....I was just wondering where you were going to waste another couple of hours of your life."

Negs sneered at Snap and took her knife. "For your info, we’re hitting the big time cash. Not petty thefts." He handed her the paper.

Snap looked at it and then rolled her eyes. "Heh..you really think anyone wants that piece of junk? HAHA!"

Nega Duck snatched it from her. "If you would care to read it...that is, if you can read, you would see that THE KELEM NECKLACE is worth a lot!!...as a matter of fact, enough to get rid of a certain supplier of mine!!"

Mega volt dropped his guns and one accidentally shot off a round. Nega Duck ducked, then looked at his nicked hat. "Why YOU stupid..GRRRRR!!"

"Sorry BOSS!! Um...I better get in the car, huh?"

"You had better!!"

Megs shot off into the car and nervously awaited the boss. After everyone left out the door but Negs, Snap pushed Nega Duck out. "You know, you should treat them more kindly...you never know when one will turn on you," she smirked, and slammed the door in his face.

After a long period of silence, Bush Root said something. "What the fuck was that all about?" Everyone stared at him…"WHAT!? Don't tell me none of you were thinking it!!..I can't always be the cool calm collective guy around here!!"

Liquidator laughed and shook his head. "Heh..you're not cool, you're not calm. And you're hardly a guy anymore."

Bushroot frowned and kicked a can.

Nega Duck smiled. "Who cares?! We got free guns!! Now let's go steal a fortune!!" He looked at the car. "Let's steal a decent car while we’re at it, too."

***********************************************************************

It was very dark by this time and already the F5 were inside of the museum. Negs smiled at the tied-up police guards and teased them by waving the flame-thrower inches from their faces. "HEHAHAHAAHAHA!!! How about we have a couple of roasted cops for dinner, huh?!! HEHEHEHAHAAHAAAAAA!!!"

Quacker Jack juggled some of the expensive gems in the air. "OOOOH I love toasted cops, HEHEHEE!" He bounced towards Megs and accidentally the gems fell on his head.

"Ack!! you dummy!!" He kicked him. "If you do something like that again I'll....."

Quacker Jack laughed. "Hehehahhaha...what? you going to give me a little shocky-poo, Sparky? Hehehehe hahaha!!" Mega Volt knew if he did anything else he would probably get in more trouble with the boss so he said nothing and continued to break the glass that held the necklace. Quacker Jack raised his eyebrow. "Hey, aren’t you going to shock me?...What's going on with you lately?"

Mega Volt threw the bag down on the ground and got into Quacker Jack's face. "What is this, '20 Questions'?!! First Rena, now you!!! I don't need to answer anything!!! Not to you, not to no one!!!!"

Quacker Jack backed away, very scared. "Uh..ok ok..fine...Puh..You don't have to be Mr. Grumpy Face about it."

Mega Volt went back to plundering the necklace from the display case, plus a couple of the light bulbs. "You understand me, right?..Mr. Bubbly Wubbly?" Normally the light bulb would talk back to him but this time it stood silent. Mega Volt sneered at it. "FINE!! Don't talk to me then!!!!" Mega Volt continued to mumble to himself. "Humph...once I get what I get..you’ll see…stupid light bulb...hmf!"

Bushroot shook his head. *sigh* "It's sad to see a person go sometimes."

And low and behold, yes, Dark Wing Duck made another dramatic entrance...." I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the..OOF!!!"

Quacker Jack flung a spiked volley ball at him. "Hehehahahahahha, hey DIP Wing, you like my spike?!! HEHAHAHAAHAA!!" Quacker Jack rolled to the floor, laughing insanely.

Fortunately Dark Wing blocked the ball with one of the bags that held a couple of other items. "Yeah, nice serve, Chuckles, wanna see mine?" Dark Wing threw one of his gas cannisters in the air and spiked it into Quacker Jack's throat. Jack grabbed his neck, gasping for air. Dark Wing jumped up and kicked him in the stomach, causing him to fly across the museum and swallow the ammo. Quacker Jack soon passed out on the floor.

"Anyone else?" Dark Wing smiled quite proudly.

The Liquidator and Mega Volt pushed Bush Root to go next. "I uh...guess it's my turn, huh?...Ok..per..uh, prepare to eat..uh..um, mulch. WAIT, no!! That's not what I was going to say, uh.."

Nega Duck smacked his face. "You stupid weed!! Just get HIM!!"

"Oh, sorry boss..." Bush Root used the outside trees to break in the window and capture Darkwing. "HA!! that will teach you..Mr. High and Mighty!!"

Dark Wing struggled and finally got an arm free. "Oh yeah!!? Well, I don't need to learn anything from you!!!" He managed to turn on his buzz saw cuff links and shred the trees' limbs away. "Wanna be next, Melon Head?"

Bush Root ran off.

Nega Duck gritted his teeth while Dark Wing fought with the Liquidator. Licky formed a huge ball of water and knocked Dark Wing into the Egypt section. "WHOA...tha...that was pretty hard..." He tried to shake the stars out of his head.

Nega Duck jumped with joy. "Finally, at least not all of them are KNOBS!!"

The Liquidator came after Dark Wing full speed. Quickly Dark Wing caught the Liquidator in a mummy jar filled with decayed guts. Licky was not amused. "EEYEW, YUCK!!!"

Dark Wing smiled and brushed off the dust from his cape. "Well. Is that all you got, NEGSY? I would of expected more from you."

"Go ahead, Dark Wing, be as smug as you want...I've got what I came for!!" Nega Duck brought out his machine gun and pointed it at him.

"HMMM, done a little early Christmas shopping at Snicker Snap's gun shop...well, don't think that will stop me, Nega Duck. You can't stop the unstoppable!!"

Negs rolled his eyes. "BOY, your ego really is big!!"

"Hey hey!! Since when did it get personal?!..Now why don't you stop this and hand over the necklace?!"

"HEHE, for your information Megs has it. And you'll have to get through me first, hahahahaaaa."

Dark Wing looked around. "...What are you talking about? we’re the only two here!! Sheeesh, you must be losing it, Negsy."

Nega Duck looked around frantically and turned red with rage, knowing the truth. "HE...HE..double CROSSED ME!!!! In a fit of anger he throws his gun down on the ground and stomps on it. "I CANT BELIEVE THIS!!!!! I'LL KILL HIM!!! KILL KILL KILL HIIIIIM!!"

Suddenly the gun went off and Dark Wing jumped out of the way. Finally, when the gun was empty and the smoke cleared, Dark Wing found Nega Duck had fled.

************************************************************************

A couple of minutes had passed since the robbery, and DarkWing had begun his search for any sign of Nega Duck or Mega Volt. He spotted Mega Volt running towards the alley. "Ah ha!! Now I got him!!" Dark Wing got off his Rat Catcher and chased him on foot. He caught up with him and found Megs breathing heavily and clutching his chest. Dark Wing closely looked at him and saw the paleness of his face. "It looks like you could use a doctor, Megsy."

Mega Volt glared at him and clenched his teeth. "I'm warning you, duck....you're messing with the wrong..um....dog...no...er..weasel..." He hit his head in frustration. "What the HELL am I...a ferret?!!"

"You look more like a jackass to me." Dark Wing reached for his gas gun. "Come with me, Mega Volt, it's obvious you are in need of medical attention."

Megs snarled at him and wiped the sweat off his face. "Once I get through with you, you'll be the one who needs medical atten......" He gasped for air and almost collapsed on the ground.

Dark Wing chuckled and headed closer to him. "The way you're looking, I don't think you'll stand a chance against me. Now return the necklace. I don't want to force you."

With all his strength, Megs managed to get up and push him over. "Who said I was going to fight you now?!!" He stumbled off, running.

Dark Wing rubbed his head and chased after him. He found Megs running towards the park. He grabbed his gun and shot a round of nerve gas at him. "That should stop him!!" Unfortunily Megs dodged it and it hit a nearby police officer. Dark ran up to the twitching cop. "Oops, sorry about that."

Mega Volt turned to a street but found himself staring at a dead end. "NO!! NO!! Please...It can't end like this!!"

Dark came up to the nearly crying rat and shook his head. "Alright Mega Volt, come with me or suck gas!!"

Megs backed up against the wall. Nervously he replied, " Don't you...come near me..Dip Wing...or..I'll fry you!!" He put his hands in the air, ready to throw lighting bolts at him.

DarkWing backed away, then looked up at the sky. "Heh."

"What do you mean HEH!!?"

Dark Wing smirked and took out his umbrella. "You should of checked the weather, Megs..because it looks like rain."

Megs looked at the rain drops hitting the ground. "Heh yourself!! If I get shocked from the rain so will you!! Once the rain hits me, my electricity will follow the path of the water on the ground and right up to you, hahahha...you better get out of here, Dip Wing, hehehhahaha!!!"

Dark gulped. "Oh yeah, heh, I didn't think about that." He was about to bolt away when he suddenly realized something. "Wait a minute!...Why don't you just shock me now? Then get away from the rain? Hmmmm, I think someone here is bluffing!!"

"Oh yeah!!...Well...well..I'll show you who's bluffing!!" Quickly he grabbed for his gun zapper and clumsily dropped it to the ground. "OOOOooo DAMN IT!!!!!!" By this time Mega Volt was soaked and very angry.

"HA! I knew it! You've somehow drained or lost your powers. Why would you risk getting caught knowing you're powerless? Hmm, was it all for that necklace? I know you can't be that desperate for cash."

"That's none of your business!!!" he screamed and held on to the necklace as tight as he could. "I won't let you ruin this for me!"

"Ruin what!!? Forget it." He pointed the gas gun in his face. "You can explain it to the co..OOF!!!"

Without warning, Dark Wing was struck along his backside by an unknown force. The rain was so heavy now that it was hard to see who it was. All he could make out was Mega Volt's tremendous laughter. "HAHAHEHAAAAAA nice going!! Let's go!!" They both took off.

************************************************************************

The next night Nega Duck, and what was left of his team, sat in Rena's house waiting to see what was going to be done about yesterday's mishap. Rena served them some food as Negs sat in the living room figuring out how many ways he could kill Mega Volt." I can't believe that...that scrawny little....."

With a mouth full of food Quacker Jack replied "RAT?"

"I was thinking more like a ferret, actually...but yeah, RAT!!"

Rena frowned and sat next to Negs "I don't understand why he would do something like that...He must of had a good reason to steal it from you."

He got up and started pacing back and forth. "Oh yeah!! He had a good reason all right!! He wanted the money for himself!! That's why!!!"

Rena hit Negs on the head. "HMF!! Like you wouldn't do something like that!"

Quacker Jack, Bushroot and the Liquidator gasped. Bush Root stood up. "You...you wouldn't do that to us, w...would you boss?"

With a fake smile: "NO NO, of course not!" He nudged Rena. "What are you trying to do? Blow my cover?!" She glared at him and stomped out of the room. Negs just shrugged and grabbed his team. "Come on!! Maybe if we look around we'll find that bastard!!"

Quacker Jack whined. "But BOSS, we didn't even have dessert yet!"

Nega Duck grabbed some ice cream from the fridge and shoved big scoops in their mouths. "There, you can eat on the way!"

************************************************************************

They all arrived back at Snap's warehouse to see if maybe she knew something about Mega Volt. She sat down and ate her TV dinner. "Mmmm, that's odd, why would Mega Nut wanna doublecross you?"

"That's why I'm here asking you!!" Negs slammed his fist on her table, causing the food to fly on his head. "GRRRRRRRRR!!"

"SEE, that's what you get for being such a hot head." She got up and started pushing him out the door. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to catch some Z's, so bye-bye."

"Wait a minute!! Hold on!! I want answers!!"

"Well, you got them, I DON"T KNOW!! I'm just your gun supplier. Do you really think I'd have time to care about any of your goons?! Besides, something will turn up soon...it always does in this city." Once again, she slammed the door in his face.

Negs shook his fist towards the door. " You know, I'M GETTING MIGHTY SICK OF THAT!!!"

************************************************************************

After Negs had gone, Snap went to the back room and sat on her bed. She looked across the room to find Mega Volt desperately trying to work the necklace. "It's not working!!? WHY isn't it working?! I put it on...but..." He rubbed his head and stressfully rubbed his neck.

Snap walked over to him and put his head on her chest. "It's ok...we'll find another way to bring back your powers..don't worry, I still have some pills left to keep you going."

Mega Volt pulled away and threw the necklace on the ground. "They're not working any more, Snap!!..Nothing is!! I tried pills!! I tried regenerating myself!! I've even tried Mystical Mumbo Jumbo CRAP!! My powers are getting weaker and weaker!!" He took off his goggles and rubbed his eyes. "I don't understand why..all I know is...I..need power..I can't function without electricity anymore!! I'm so tired..I..I can't think straight! The light bulbs won't even talk to me anymore!"

She picked up the necklace and walked over to him. "We have to keep trying...We have to!!"

Mega Volt turned to her and yelled, "I'm SICK!! ALL of this makes me sick!! I CAN'T...I'm sorry."

Snap turned around and stomped her foot. "I guess...then you don't need me anymore...Well FINE!!"

She headed towards the door, but Megs grabbed her. "I didn't mean to yell at you." He rubbed his head against hers and kissed her on the cheek. "I...just don't know what I'm gonna do. Without my powers.....what am I?"

She smiled and rubbed his nose. "I don't mean to sound corny but..you'll always be something to me." She shuffled her feet and looked at the ground. "Let's stop all this mushy stuff." She looked at the necklace. "Maybe we haven't worked it right or something..maybe."

He put his hand over her mouth. "It's ok....No more trying to help me..If I'm going to spend my last days doing something, I want it to be with you and I want it to be happy." Snap smiled and hugged him. Megs blushed. "You know..I still have a little SPARK left for you..I was saving it for a nice kiss." She held his hands with the necklace and they sparked a kiss.

************************************************************************

Downtown, Nega Duck decided to go to the Old Haunt and drink something to calm down his anger. After a few beers he started a conversation with the bartender. "Y..You knoooooow WHAT?"

The bartender looked at him quite strangely. "What?"

" I ..d.don't knnnooooow noothiing." *hiccup*

" I believe that."

The rest of the F5 stared at him from a nearby table. Bush Root looked worried. "I think maybe we should take the boss home, guys."

Quacker Jack giggled. "Hehe, I don't know ..I sort of like him like this." He took out Mr. Banana Brain: "Yeah!! The boss is always entertaining when he's drunk on his ass!"

Liquidator watched him make advances towards a girl, then get slapped. "Yeah, I think it's about time to take him home, Quacky."

"AW FOOWY!! Just when it was starting to get funny."

They all took Negs and started walking out of the bar. They heard a loud noise come from up town. Quacker Jack dropped Negs on the ground and squealed with joy. "EEEEEEEE, alright, finally some action!!! Come on guys, let's go see what's going on, hahahahehehe!!!!" They all followed.

Nega Duck stumbled behind them. "Action? *hiccup* WWWWhere's t..the actioOOOn....Is it like, HOOKER action?" *hiccup*"becauuuuuuse I..I *hiccup* can go for that!!"

************************************************************************

They all arrived at the bank just as Dark Wing was hurled out by a bolt of lighting and landed in a pile of garbage. He got up and took a rotten sandwich off his head. "Yuck!! I can't believe this, one moment he's all sick and helpless, now I can't seem to get within four feet of him without getting electrocuted!" He looked over and spotted Nega Duck. "YOU!!" He rushed towards him and poked his beak. "I suppose you have something to do with this!!? Don't you!!?"

Nega Duck smirked and felt Dark Wing's face. "HEH DOOooooo I knowww you? *hiccup* Y....You..looooook awfully doobly familiar." *hiccup*

"Don't try your head games with me!! I know you put him up to this!!"

Bush Root turned Dark Wing around. "We don't have anything to do with this. What's going on?"

"If you don't already know, and I know you do, Megs' powers have shot through the roof! He's pilfering the money."

"What?!!" Negs started boxing. "Wheeeeeere is that....fe..*hiccup*...fe *hiccup* ferret!! I'll teach hiiiim aaaaa lesson!! *hiccup* No one messes wwwwwith...MIGHTY MOUSE!!" He swung and fell on the ground.

Dark Wing wasn't amused. "Enough of this! Obviously I'm not going to get any answers!!" He headed back towards the bank with the rest of the F5 tagging alongside him.

Inside they all found Megs insanely laughing while grabbing huge amounts of money plus a couple of light bulbs. "HEHAAHAHAAAAA, it's mine, ALL MINE!!! And no one can stop me!!!" He picked up a light bulb and started talking to it. "Hello Master, we are glad to see your handsome and brilliant self again!!" Megs hugged the bulb. "OH I missed you soooo much!!!" He kissed it.

Quacker Jack stood in shock. "WOW, Megsy really flipped out this time....cool!!"

Mega Volt's body glowed bright blue and it seemed the light was getting brighter and brighter. His goggles were off and they could see his pure white eyes glaring at Dark Wing "Well..it seems DIP WING wants another beating..ehheheh ...I can gladly arrange that for you, hehehehahahahaaaaaaa!"

Quacker Jack and the others clapped for joy. "All right!! We get to see Megs barbecue Dark Wing!! Hurray!!!" Quacker Jack grabbed a chair and the others got some popcorn.

"Don't be so sure of yourself, Mega Volt, there are many ways I can take you down!!"

Megs smiled and threw a couple of volts at him. "Heheheh!! Well, before you do, I wanna see you dance first!!" He happily watched Dark Wing nervously try to dodge his bolts. *sigh* "You know, seeing you squirm really makes me remember why I really took up on crime."

Nega Duck stumbled in and smirked. "Oooooo, a light show!! *hiccup* I like light shows."

Megs quickly turned to Nega Duck. "YOU!!"

"Yeaaaaah, I'm...me. *hiccup*" He went towards Megs, who was practically trembling with rage. "Hiiiii Megger-wegger-jegger...hehe...that ryhmed."

"You know how long I wanted to drive a lighting bolt up your ASS!!...HAHEHE NOW...NOW I finally have the strength and enough bulbs to do it!!!! HEHEHAAAAAAA!!" He grabbed Negs and lifted him up in the air. "Say goodbye, KNOB!!!"

"Bye-bye, knob." *hiccup*

"I'm not the knob!! You're the knob!!" He ground his teeth.

"You're the knob." *hiccup*

"NONONONOOOOO, I'm not a knob!!!! NONONONOOO!!!" He shook Nega Duck and jumped in circles. Dark Wing tried to get up and he found himself hanging on to the emergency fire hose. Mega Volt threw Negs down and started kicking him repeatedly. "Take that back!! I'm not a KNOB!! Not anymore!!!"

Dark Wing turned on the hose and shot him with a blast of water that threw Megs out onto the curb.

Megs shook his head as he lay on the ground, sputtering. "Th...that was a...dirty trick."

"Your fun is over, Mega Volt!" Dark Wing smiled as he spun the hose in the air.

Bush Root scratched his head. "Hmmm, that was kind of easy, wasn't it?"

"What do you mean!!? I caught the villain..and ...that's it!..What more do you want!!!?" Out of nowhere Dark Wing saw a figure of light heading towards them. "Wha ..what is that?"

The figure stood over Mega Volt and looked at Dark Wing. It moved towards him and took shape. Everyone gasped, "Snicker Snap?" She didn't look the same, her hair had turned white as snow and her eyes were black. She seemed to have a red aura around her, the same color as the necklace she wore around her neck.

Quacker Jack ducked behind the Liquidator and looked through him to see. "What's going on!!? Why does she look all creepy-freaky-looking!!?"

"It's the necklace..it must of had some sort of an effect on them."

Snap giggled and raised her arms in the air. "Actually it had an effect on ME!!! Hahahaaa, ain't that cool!!?" She summoned a gigantic ball of electricity and fired at all of them. "WEEEEEEEE, this is SO much fun, hehehahahahaaaaaaa!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!" She jumped up and down, then started dancing a little gig. Dark Wing and the others coughed from the smoke and debris that flew everywhere from the blast

"I don't understand!! *cough* How did she get powers!!?" He held his head, which was bleeding a bit. "The necklace is suppose to return powers!! Snap didn't have any powers to begin with!!"

She smiled evilly. "Ooooh, that's where you're wrong!! Hehehe!" She spun in circles as she insanely laughed. "I had powers but I didn't realize it yet, until that little kissy-wissy sparked the necklace!! Ehehehehehhahahaaaa!"

Every one stared at Mega Volt. He frowned. "SNAP!! You weren't suppose to tell anyone!!" He got up and squeezed the water from his clothes.

"AW, come on!! Who cares?! It's not like you never kissed before!! SHEEEESH!!" Everyone laughed. Snap sneered and threw a bolt of lighting at them." I'd watch it if I were you!!" She slowly walked towards Megs and scratched his chin. "You see, my poor little Megsy's abilities had finally reached a point where his body just couldn't take any more sparks." She rubbed the necklace "Until we found this baby, hehehe. Megs doesn't have to worry about getting weak any more...now that he has me."

Quacker Jack snickered. "Hehe, little Megsy? Heheeeeeee, you sly dog, you, heheh!" He playfully punched Megs in the arm. "So all this time when you went over Snaps to get something fixed...ehehehhe...you were really getting something fixed!! HEHHAHAAAAA!!"

Megs pushed Jack "That's not funny!!...hmf!! You can laugh all you like!! All of you!! As soon as I recharge, all of you will be sorry!!"

DarkWing smirked. "Ahh! So that explains why you've been acting sick lately and that's why she has your powers."

Bush Root scratched his head. "It does?"

"Of course, Hedge-Head, you see, when Megs and Snap ehem..."got something fixed".....he must have somehow drained all his power..hehe...into Snap."

Mega Volt blushed bright red. "OF COURSE!! Why didn't I think of that before?!" He stared at Snap angrily "You thief!! You stole all my powers!! I want them back!!"

Snap backed up. "I'm a thief!!? Hey, Mr. Give-It-To-Me-Baby, don't try to blame this on me!! It's not my fault you gave me powers!! Besides, did you forget that I can recharge you all you want?!!...see." She put her hands on his chest and shocked him to maximum power.

A swirl of electricity flowed around him. Megs smiled and puffed out a little smoke. "WOW!! What a rush!! All right, I guess it's not that bad to have a little, hehe, sugah momma!"

She hugged him and grabbed his hand. "GREAT!! Now let's go trash the town, ehehahahaa!!"

Dark Wing ran in front of them and blocked their path. "I don't think so, plug-heads!!"

Snap smiled and giggled. "Hehe, I've never been called a plug-head before, ehehe!!"

Megs patted her on the back. "Don't worry...you'll get used to it." Dark Wing rolled his eyes and grabbed his gas gun. "HEH, do you really think that stupid gas gun is going to stop us!!?"

"Hmm, you're right.....But this will." He held up a wrench.

They both laughed. "OOOooo a wrench!! Oh, we better watch out, Snap, heheheheahhaaaaaa!!"

"Hehehe!! Yeah, he may fix our car!!" They both rolled on the ground laughing.

Dark Wing smirked and put the wrench on the fire hydrant valve next to him. Quickly the laughter stopped. "Heh! Yeah, I thought so." He opened it and a flood of water knocked both of them into Audubon Bay. After the sparking and shocking had died down, Dark Wing went towards the water to find Megs and Snap knocked out. He crouched down and grabbed for the necklace.

Snap's hand grabbed onto his and blasted him up into the air. Her body glowed an even brighter red then before. "You silly silly fool!! Did you think a little bath would stop ME?!!" Snap flung him violently into the bay. She recharged Megs for a second time and they both started heading downtown, destroying every building in their path.

************************************************************************

Bushroot, Liquidator and Quacker Jack looked on as the two terrorized the people. Bushroot trembled with fear. "What are we going to do!!? They're going to destroy all the trees!!"

Liquidator waved his hand. "So what?! We need a little excitement around here."

Quacker Jack nodded. "Yeah. We shouldn't interfere."

Bush Root smacked both of them. "You dummies!! What about the toy factories and the banks?!"

*gasp* "You're right!! There'll be nothing left for us to plunder!!" They rushed over to Dark Wing and pulled him out of the bay. Quacker Jack smacked him repeatedly. "Wake up, you stupid goody-goody, and go save the city!!!" There was no response. "OH NO!!" He brought out his hanky and cried. "He's dead!! We're dooomed!!"

Negs walked out of the bank and went up to them, then cried too. *hiccup* "WAAAAAAAAH!! I'm sure gonna miss that BASTARD!!!" He tried to stand up straight but fell on top of him.

Dark Wing squirted out water and coughed. "Oh man!! What happened?"

Quacker Jack shook him. "They're going to destroy the city, you fool!!" *sniff* "All the toy factories and toys will be destroyed!! WAAAAAHHH!!!"

Dark Wing pushed him off. "Get a hold of yourself!! There must be a way to stop them."

Nega Duck put his arm around him "I'm so glad *hiccup* you're back!!! I LoveYou MAAAAN!! Even more than that stupid nec..*hiccup* nec..*hiccup*...necklace!!"

Dark Wing hit his head. "That's IT!!" He lifted him up. "I never thought I'd ever say this, but you just might have saved the city, Nega Duck!!" He rushed off.

Negs just stood there, wobbling "Well...goddamn!! Ain't that something. *hiccup*...I'm gonna go to sleep now." He passed out on the ground.

************************************************************************

The path of destruction led Dark Wing downtown and straight up to Snap and Mega Volt. They were on top of one of the buildings, playing target practice with a couple of the citizens.

"That power-hungry halfwit and his gun-crazed partner's thirst for destruction must stop!! There has to be a way to destroy that necklace before it's too late."

Before Dark Wing could make his way up the building, Megs spotted him. "Hehe, let's do a little duck hunting, heheheh." Megs started shooting bolts at him. Dark Wing jumped out of the way. He could feel the heat inches away from his feathers. Quickly he got behind a dumpster and tried to put out the fire on his cape. "HAHAHAAAA!! Face it, Dork Wing, you can't stop us, we're too powerful!!! Why don't you just send your cape and mask to an unfortunate little trick-or-treater, hehe, I'm sure he could get some good use out of it!!"

Dark Wing dusted the ash off his cape and shook his fist at Megs. "Why you deranged lunatic!! Do you know how much capes cost these days!!?" He shot his grappling hook and made his way to the top of the building. He ducked out of the way of an incoming blast of Snap's.

She stomped her foot down on the ground. "SHOOT!! You're a quick little bugger, aren't yah?"

"YES!! But that's not all that's quick about me!!" He thought for a moment. "Wait a minute...that didn't sound right..."

Mega Volt started to panic and hid behind her. "Oh no!! He's gonna spray me down again, I just know it!!"

Dark Wing smirked. "Hiding behind your women, eh Megsy? Why don't you come out and fight me like a...um..well...like whatever you are."

Snap rolled her eyes. "Don't be such a baby, Meggers, hehe, watch this." She struck the ground, which caused a massive but short earthquake and tipped Dark Wing off the edge. "Bye-bye, Dark Wing Dipstick, hahahahaaaaa!!"

Megs jumped for joy and clapped his hands. "OH BOY!! No more Dark Wing!! YAY!!" He went to take a peek to see his splattered body, only to find him hanging on a flagpole on the side of the building. "Damn it!! He's still alive...of all the rotten luck!!"

Snap peeked over and thought for a moment. "Hehehe!! Not to worry." She threw a surge of energy to a couple of nearby telephone poles. The wires suddenly came to life and reached for him.

*gasp* "Just when you thought you've seen it all..then something like this happens!!" DarkWing hit the wires with his hat. The sparks of the wires disintegrated it. "GRRRRR!! All right, now he owes me a cape and a hat!!!" Finally the wires got a hold of him and wrapped around him like a snake. They slowly started to squeeze him.

Megs started to spark and snicker. "Heheeee!! WOW, this is like the BEST thing ever!!! HEHEAHAHAHaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! It makes me feel so...so..." He turned to Snap and smiled evilly. "Turned ON!!!" He grabbed her and grinned very seductively. "HEHE!! Let's say you and me go make SPARKS fly!! hehehahhaaaaaaaaa!!"

Snap grinned and scratched his chin. "I have something much better planned, hehehehe..."

"Really?! Um...how about if we do it real quick?"

"NO!! Let's hook up the old power plant and drain the city!"

Mega Volt picked her up and spun her around. "What a great idea!!" He looked at Dark Wing "But I'll miss him get squished!!"

Snap controlled the wires to throw Dark Wing at her feet. "Oh, don't worry, honey..I have other plans for him…hehehhhahahahaa."

***************************************************************************

Mega Volt and Snicker Snap prepared for their plan. Dark Wing, gagged, a bit beaten and tired, was tied up to a pole. Snap sat and meditated while waiting for Mega Volt to restore the power plant. He slid down the stair banister and ran up to her. "Alright, everything's connected and ready to go, all we have to do is turn on the plant and start to draw energy."

She smirked and seemed to now float across the room. "Good, my body aches for it so badly."

Dark spit out the gag and snarled, "You won't get away with this!! Good always prevails!!"

Snap rolled her eyes. "Doesn't he ever shut the fuck up?!"

Mega Volt pinched Dark Wing's cheeks. "Heehe, you can preach all you want, because once we turn on this place, we're going to drain the city for all it's worth, hahahaaaaaaa!"

Snap giggled and poked Dark Wing's beak. "Heheh, yeah, and guess who has front row seats!!"

"You demented deviants, all you're going to do after this is crave more power..what are you going to do after this? Hit every city until there's none left!? It will never end!!"

Megs smiled, "Actually that's not a bad idea, hehe! After we're through here though, unfortunately, you won't get to see that happen."

"What do you mean?!"

"After we've charged to maximum strength, we're going to fry you to a crisp!! Hehehehahaaaaaaa!!"

Dark Wing raised his feet and tried to kick him. "You psycho!!"

Megs quickly moved out of the way and stuck his tongue out at him. "Just stop your pitiful attempts, like I said, you can't stop me!!"

Dark Wing thought for a moment, then smirked. *sigh* "Yeah, I guess you're right..."

Megs, looking very shocked, went up to him. "I...I am?..Uh, of course I am!!"

"Yeah, but I mean, with Snap's powerful strength..who can possibly stand up to her?"

Mega Volt frowned. "Wait a darn minute here..you mean the both of us....right?!"

Dark Wing shrugged. "Well..maybe back in the day, Megs, when you use to be a top-rated super villain, but I mean now....puh..come on!!!

"ACK!! You stupid duck, what do you know?! I'm still top-rated!!"

"Eh..how could you be a top-rated criminal when you rely on someone spooning you your own powers..without her, Megsy..you're pretty much zip."

Mega Volt fumed with rage. "NO, that's not true!!! I'm ten times the villain she is!!!"

Snicker Snap frowned. "Are not!! Who came up with the plan, huh?! Mr. Electro-Face!!"

Megs got in her face. "Am so, and did you happen to forget that I hooked up this place?!"

"OH yeah, I keep forgetting you're a big NERD!!"

*GASP* Megs pushed her to the ground. "You stupid chick!! You weren't saying that last night when I was all up in your snoogly woo!!"

Dark Wing gave a disgusted look. "Snoogly woo?"

Megs continued, "You don't deserve this awesome power!"

As Megs starts to argue with her, Dark Wing provoked them even more. "Gee, Snap, I guess I was wrong about you..heh, are you really gonna take that from him?"

The electricity flowed around her and pulled her back up. She kicked Megs in the stomach and pushed him into a couple of boxes. "So that's the little game you want to play, huh? Well then, you can consider us THROUGH!!!" She again summoned a giant ball of electricity and flung it at Megs. With the surge of the blast, the boxes caught on fire.

Megs, luckily, was not burning but very dizzy. "Y..you...bitch!! When..th...the room...stops spinning ..you're going to..pay.. for...*cough*... for that."

Dark Wing looked at the now spreading fire that seemed to be getting closer and closer to him. "I have to get out of these ropes before I'm swallowed up by the flames!!" A piece of timber fell, almost hitting him, but just close enough for him to burn through the ropes. "Now where are those two nutcases?" He looked up and saw Snap on the second floor, heading towards the switch to start up the power plant. He ran up the stairs, when he was knocked over by Mega Volt.

Megs grabbed onto her and flung her into Dark Wing. "Oh no you don't!! This power rightfully belongs to me!!!"

Snap glared at him and let the electricity run through her fingers. "Oooooo…you think you can push ME around, huh? You...you......SPARKY!!!"

Megs clenched his fist and swung at her. She ducked and tripped him on the ground. Then she tried to jump over him but he grabbed her by the legs and pulled her away from the switch. Dark Wing decided this was the time to take the necklace. He jumped on Snap's back and grabbed for it, but she blasted him into the air and continued to wrestle with Megs. The whole first floor now was engulfed in the flames and the fire started spreading up the stairs. Dark Wing got out of the way of the fire and the incoming electricity that flew between Snap and Mega Volt. She finally got a hold of the switch and turned it on. A great energy went through her body. "I...I feel..the energy!!! The POWER!!" She laughed insanely.

Dark Wing looked out the window and saw the city lights going haywire. "Oh no!! It's too late!! The city will soon be drained and Snap will be unstoppable!!" He stood up straight and headed towards them. "I might not be able to withstand the surge..but I can't give up!!"

He jumped on Mega Volt, who was still on Snap, who was still pinned down by all of them and still hanging on to the switch. "You idiots!! Get off of me!!! Or I'll..." *crunch* With all the pressure on the necklace it finally broke. Snap, being powerless, screamed from the tremendous pain of the electricity that ran through her body. "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"

Mega Volt, still hanging on, was quite enjoying it. "Why are you screaming? This is GREAT!!! I can finally recharge again!!!"

When Snap couldn't take it any more, the sparks and shocking escalated to a tremendous explosion that activated the emergency sprinklers. The fire died down and every one lay on the floor, unconscious for a couple minutes.

Dark Wing got up and saw Megs fleeing out of a hole in the wall. "Stop!! I'm not through with you yet, bright boy!!" He ran after him and stopped him at the docks. "Alright!! I've been squeezed, dropped, flung into the bay and electrocuted a numerous amount of times....now, are you going to come peacefully with me, or do I have to make you see how angry you have made me today?!"

Megs smirked. "You seem to forget, duck, my old spark has returned to its rightful owner!!" Dark Wing smiled. "W..What are you smiling about?! Didn't you hear me!!?"

"Yeah, I heard you, that's why I'm going to take pleasure in doing this." He shot his gas gun, causing Megs to fall backwards into the bay.

"Oh n n n nOOOOoooo n n not AGAAAAAAAAAIN!!"

The sparks gave off a nice fireworks effect. DarkWing smiled and gazed at it. "Ahh, you know, for a evil demented lunatic, Megs...you sure can put on one hell of a light show."

****************************************************************************

The next day Rena heard the news from the rest of the F5. "I can't believe this!! Poor Megsy, and Snap...I guess there's not much we can do right now."

Quacker Jack, Bushroot and the Liquidater sat around the kitchen table, drinking some coffee. Bushroot shook his head. "Yeah, well, I hope this teaches them a lesson!!"

Quacker Jack grinned. "Uh...not to sleep with people you work with?"

Bush Root rolled his eyes. "NO!!..It's..um...uh..well...ok, ok, I don't know either, but there is a lesson to this....uh...somewhere."

Rena smiled. "Speaking of lessons, Negs must of learned a big lesson after all that drinking last night, heehe..where is he, any ways?"

All of them looked at each other, then screamed, "GAH!!"

A couple of blocks away Nega Duck, still passed out on the sidewalk, awoke, shooed some of the pigeons away, then happily curled up in some newspapers and drifted back to sleep.
