Here's Chapter 4! Enjoy!
NegaDuck was talking to the Liquidator, Megavolt, Bushroot and Quackerjack in a hallway.
"Well, I guess this makes us a team again." Quackerjack chuckled.
"Yeah. Listen, boss, I couldn't thank you enough for agreeing to let me stay with Boss!" The Liquidator said bowing politely. He then realised what he said. "Oops, I mean, thank you, NegaDuck for letting me stay me with Demyx. Oops. I mean."
"Just shut up!" NegaDuck snapped. "I didn't do it for you. I did it to catch bigger fish!"
"Huh?" All of the evil duck's minions asked.
"Listen, Liquidator. You been here for a while now right?" NegaDuck asked.
"Right…" The water dog said with a raised eyebrow.
"Could you tell me about the powers of a Nobody?" NegaDuck asked.
"Um, okay, I'll tell you about the services of a Nobody." The Liquidator shrugged before he coughed. "A humanoid Nobody have the ability to create dark portals which can teleport anywhere in the universe, summon lesser Nobodies to assist them AND have a special weapon and element based of their selves."
"Anywhere?" NegaDuck asked with an evil smirk interested about the portal thing.
"Anywhere. As long as you focus." The Liquidator nodded.
"Ooh, ooh. Does that mean we can use it to break into banks!" Megavolt said enthusiastically.
"You bet. We can steal all the money we want without being caught!" The Liquidator said proudly.
"Ha." NegaDuck scoffed getting everyone's attention. "Bank robberies. That's kid stuff!"
"Huh? What do you mean, boss?" Bushroot asked.
"Think bigger things, you idiot!" NegaDuck snapped. "The Nobody's power is unlike any other, with its power. We can take over the universe!"
"So that means we can finally defeat…" Bushroot asked with hope.
"Darkwing Duck?" NegaDuck said with a twisted look on his face. "Yes."
The other four got excited.
"Oh, boy! We are going to be kings of the universe!" Megavolt smiled.
"I can cover a whole planet in plants!" Bushroot said excited.
"Everyone will be my court jester!" Quackerjack said proudly.
"Only one thing." NegaDuck said.
Everyone looked at their leader.
"In order for us to get their power. We must help them complete Kingdom Hearts." NegaDuck explained.
"Kingdom Hearts? Why would they want to complete a kingdom of hearts?" Megavolt asked confused.
"No, it's the heart-shaped moon. Demyx said that it will give them hearts if it's complete." The Liquidator said.
"Correct. Anyway, in order to do this, we needed to work as a team. So even though, getting along is not our strong spot, we need to get along with them. Otherwise, they probably break off the deal. In short." NegaDuck said before taking a deep breath. "IF YOU TICK THEM OFF AND RUIN THIS FOR ME, I WILL CHOP OFF YOUR BEHINDS AND SEND THEM ON E-BAY!"
All four of them immediately saluted. "Yes sir!"
"Now, GIT!"
The four minions immediately started to run around like headless chickens. They then bumped into each other making all of them fall down. They quickly got up and ran off in different directions.
NegaDuck rolled his eyes as he groaned. "This is going to be a long day."
Megavolt ran for a bit until he stopped running so he could catch his breath.
"Whew! NegaDuck sure was angry about this!" The electric rat panted. "Then again, he's always like this when there is a chance to get great power like that! I better not disappoint him."
He then started to think.
"Hmm… Interacting with these people. Interacting isn't my strong point. But unless I want my tail cut off, I better go along with it. And who knows? Maybe I make a new friend."
He then smiled as he started to walk
"The Liquidator not only befriended that guitar-player but he actually worships him like he did with boss." Megavolt said. "Maybe I could have the same relationship with the Organization's electric user. Without the worshipping of course."
He then chuckled to himself.
"Yep. I have a feeling that woman and I will get along just fine!"
He then passed a door and absent-mindedly looked into it. As if by pure luck, Larxene was inside sitting a table reading a book.
The rat's face lit up when he saw the young woman by herself.
"Oh, there she is!" He smiled.
With that, he casually walked over to her with a beaming face.
"Hello!" The rat smiled.
Larxene stopped reading her book and looked up with a bored look on her face. "Oh, you're that rat looks like a mascot of a battery commercial."
Megavolt chuckled a bit while blushing as if he been told a nice thing. "Aw... You think I look like a movie star."
Larxene blinked twice before looking unimpressed. "Hey, dum-dum, that wasn't a compliment!"
Megavolt looked confused at this. "Really? Isn't it every electricty-user's dream to be in a battery commercial?"
"Oh, yeah! I also wanted to wear a giant suit like that!" Larxene said sarcastically while rolling her eyes.
"Oh, you think so too?" Megavolt smiled.
Larxene's face fell straight on the table.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" Megavolt asked.
"If I say no, would you sit here anyway?" Larxene said without taking her head off the table.
Megavolt frowned. "Aw, come on! We are going to live with each other for a good while so we could at least try to get along with each other!"
Larxene raised her head with a slightly peeved look on her face. "Okay, fine. You can stay."
Megavolt cheerfully clapped his hands together sitting down. "Oh, goody-goody gumdrops!"
Larxene raised an eyebrow. "Goody-goody gumdrops?"
"Anyway, my name's Megavolt." The battery-powered rat beamed.
"My, what an original name you have there." Larxene said rolling her eyes.
"Why, thank you." Megavolt smiled causing the blonde woman's head to slam against the table again. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Larxene."
"Larxene, eh? That's a weird name." Megavolt said.
The Savage Nymph slowly rose her head to revealing that she was scowling.
"But there is nothing wrong with having a weird name." Megavolt said quickly.
Larxene rolled her eyes. "Why do you want to talk to me anyway?"
"Well, aside from the fact that we HAVE to..." Megavolt pointed. "I thought we can get along just fine because we both have something in common."
"That we both use electricty?" Larxene asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, you saw how close the Liquidator and the guitar player are." Megavolt shrugged. "If two water elements got along great, then why not two electricity elements?"
Larxene took a deep breath before putting her hand on her book.
"So what do you say?" Megavolt smiled.
Larxene looked up with a blank stare on her face. "Megavolt, was it?"
"Yep." The super-villain chirped.
"Now, you listen here and you listen carefully, rat-boy." Larxene said in a very dark tone. "I do NOT like making friends. I do NOT get along with other people. And I certainly don't play nice!"
Megavolt frowned at this. "Aw, come on! I was only trying to be nice! The Liquidator got along with his fellow water-user! And who knows, maybe this friendship will be a great asset for the Organization XIII!"
"Psh! I probably have more electric power than you ever have!" Larxene scoffed.
Megavolt frowned at this. This girl is extremely unfriendly and doesn't like to make friends. Perhaps he should give up trying to make friends. But if he DOESN'T make nice, his tail will most likely get chopped off by NegaDuck.
"Maybe if I show her one of my interests, it will probably break the ice." He thought.
Suddenly, a light bulb appeared over his head.
Reaching above his head, he grabbed it and showed it to Larxene.
"Why don't I show you on of my friends?" The electricity-user smiled.
Larxene looked at the light bulb and then at Megavolt with a bright smile. "Light bulbs? Your friends are light bulbs?"
"Yep!" He beamed. "They are all at home but this one is my special little friend because he is there whenever I have a good idea!"
Larxene sweat-dropped. "And I take it he has a name?"
"Yes. Brainy!" Megavolt grinned.
Larxene's face fell on the table again.
"You know, you are going to get a headache if you keep doing that to yourself."
Larxene then looked back with an annoyed look on her face.
"Anyway, you want hold him?" Megavolt offered. "He is a little shy and doesn't like strangers but if you'll be extra gentle with him, he should be fine."
Larxene looked like she was in deep thought for a minute before giving a small smirk. "Okay, I'll hold him."
Megavolt smiled before he looked down the light bulb cuddling like a mother does a baby. "Now, Brainy. I am going to put you in care of Larxene, here. Don't worry, you are in safe hands. I promise you."
With that, he carefully handed it over to the young woman. Larxene slowly embraced in her hands as if she was holding an extremely fragile object in her hands.
"There, there, little Brainy." Larxene said with a gentle smile. "Everything is going to be all right."
Megavolt smiled glad to finally reveal the true kindness behind Larxene.
"But..."
Megavolt raised an eyebrow.
"...I lied."
Megavolt's eyes bugged out in horror as Larxene started to charge electricity through her hands into the light bulb turning it on and it shined brightly.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" The rat shouted before the unthinkable happened.
CRASH!
All Megavolt did was watched in horror as the light bulb exploded due to being over-powered by Larxene's electric charge. Everything went in slow-motion as small pieces of sparkling glass flew a short distance before descending to the ground. Poor Megavolt was stunned in pure shock.
He got off the chair and collapsed on his knees with his eyes widened to the fullest behind his goggles. "How... How could you...?"
Larxene smirked throwing the cap. "Easy. I charged electricity into it and destroyed it."
The woman then started to laugh cruelly. Megavolt continued to watch the remains of his friend with tears forming in his eyes. The electric rat then looked at Larxene. She was laughing. Laughing at a death of an innocent light bulb. Laughing after she just murdered Megavolt's friend in cold blood.
"B-Brainy... I am so sorry... I didn't think... I..." Megavolt said.
He then narrowed his eyes
Larxene's laughter stopped abruptly before she got a lightning bolt to the stomach sending her flying through the room until she hit the room. She was dazed for a moment but shook away her dizziness to see a VERY angry-looking Megavolt gritting his teeth and clenching his fists with angry electricity surging through them.
"YOU MONSTER!"
With that, he lunged at Larxene and started to throw electric punches at her face.
"I trusted you! I trusted you with the life of Brainy! I trusted you that I actually promised him that nothing bad will happen!" He shouted in a blind rage.
Larxene quickly found an opening and kicked him in the stomach knocking him away from her.
"Hey! That hurt! Haven't your mother ever told you not to hurt girls!?" She snapped rubbing her face.
"I'm a villain, not a gentleman!" Megavolt snapped.
"What's the big deal? It's just a stupid light bulb!" Larxene snapped.
Megavolt's eye started to twitch. "JUST a stupid light bulb? JUST a stupid light bulb?"
"Um, yeah, as in he can't talk or move or breathe!" Larxene said with a cruel smirk.
Megavolt's face slowly turned so red that he looked like a demented tomato. Giving a yell of fury, he lunged at Larxene with a electric fist ready to smack the woman's face in.
Larxene's eyes widened before she barely got out of the way as the fist harmlessly hit the wall. She then gave the rat a kick to the side.
She snarled before her fist started to charge with electricity before she gotten strange-looking daggers in her hand. "I'll teach YOU to mess with me!"
"Bring it, witch!" Megavolt snapped before clenching his fists.
The two electricity-users glared each other now with their element charged up in their hands. Megavolt want to avenge his light bulb friend and Larxene... Is not the type of woman to be messed with this. This will really be a hard match.
Megavolt started the first attack by sending a lightning bolt at Larxene.
The Savage Nymph smirked before holding out the palm of her free hand. Much to Megavolt's surprise this negated the electricity leaving a few surges of electricity.
"How... How are you able to do that?" He sputtered.
"Um, duh? I am an electric element." Larxene said flatly. "The kind that absorbs electric attacks. The only reason the sucker-shock of yours affected me is because it took me by surprise!"
"Oh, yeah. I guess that was a stupid question, wasn't it?" Megavolt said scratching the back of his head.
Larxene rolled her eyes at this.
"But..."
Larxene looked up to see Megavolt lunging at her with electric fists. Thinking quickly, she swiftly avoided the fast punches with amazing speed.
"I am still punch you with electric fists!" The rat shouted before launching another fist.
The only female member of Organization XIII ducked under the attack, swerved around Megavolt and kicked him in the back.
The rodent staggered forward before recovering. He then used his tail to take Larxene by surprise and knocked her off her feet. The blonde woman fell onto her side. Whirling around with a smirk, he jumped onto the fallen Nobody and punched at her.
But Larxene thought quickly and caught it. She then used her other hand to launch her daggers at Megavolt. The rat's eyes widened before he barely swerved his head out of the way. Larxene then kicked him off.
"Hey! You nearly killed me!" He scolded.
"So? I already "killed" an innocent light bulb, why should we have mercy for a grown rat?" Larxene smirked.
Megavolt growled before he got to his feet while Larxene got up herself.
Larxene lunged at Megavolt at supersonic speeds slashing him on the face with her daggers. As the rat held his injury in pain. Larxene sped at him again kicking him in the side.
In a matter of seconds, Larxene was speeding around attacking him with swift attacks not giving the rat a chance to block or counter.
Soon, Larxene stopped her assualt leaving a dizzied Megavolt wobbling in place with bruises all over his body. The rat slowly held his head and he shook away the stars before glaring at her opponent.
"Oh, that is it! I am going to!" He snapped before he noticed something.
Ten Larxenes were surrounded him sharing the same dark smirk.
Megavolt blinked twice looking around at the girls while blinking twice in nervousness. "Umm... Hey! Ten against one ain't fair!"
"I am a villain! Not a lady!" One of the Larxene said imitating his earlier statement.
All of the Larxenes then charged up electricity in their arms getting ready to charge at him. Megavolt looked around while taking a deep gulp. He was trapped and he knew this. At least with Darkwing Duck, there was just one to worry about but now he was outnumbered ten-to-one with no way of escaping.
Maybe in normal cases but with the shards of a broken light bulb, he wouldn't never give so easily.
"Let's get them, girls!" Larxene shouted as the ten girls lunged at him.
Megavolt looked up with narrowed eyes.
He got into a defensive stance as an electric aura surrounded him. All of the Larxenes' eyes widened before they tried to stop themselves. No such luck as their speed has too much momentum. They all went into the aura and got electrocuted. They all screamed in pain as their own element surged through their body. One by one, the Larxenes disappeared. When Megavolt has ended his attack, Larxene fell onto her back dazed and charred.
Megavolt crossed his arms with a smirk thinking that he had won but then he noticed the Nobody was slowly sitting up groaning in pain.
"Had enough yet?" Megavolt smirked.
"How... How are you so strong?" Larxene asked surprised.
Megavolt narrowed his eyes. "Do I need to tell you? You killed my friend so I want revenge!"
Larxene growled before jumping to her feet. As quickly as she could, she jumped up and kicked him square on the chin making him stagger back a few feet.
"Well, I don't care what it is! I am NOT losing to you!" She shouted angrily before throwing one of her daggers.
Meanwhile, Demyx and the Liquidator were walking through the halls talking to each other.
"Man, can you believe this, boss? I am going to live here without having to hide from anything!" The Liquidator chirped.
"Yeah, and I don't have to lie and sweat!" The blonde Nobody agreed with a smile.
"And now, I will finally give a few people a good old helping of the Liquidator!" The watery dog said with an evil smirk.
Demyx quickly sweat-dropped. "Now, now. You still has to control yourself. Remember, they are still my superiors!"
The watery dog rolled his eyes. "Hey! They are the ones who kept treating like you are just some water-boy!"
Demyx blinked twice before raising his finger and opening his mouth. "Um..."
The Liquidator sweat-dropped. "That's not what I meant and you know it, boss!"
Demyx chuckled a bit scratching the back of his head. "Sorry. But seriously, you need to control your temper!"
The Liquidator gave a deep sigh. "Fine, I'll behave for now."
"Right." Demyx chuckled. "Anyway, shall we continue on?"
The Liquidator instantly brightened up. "Sure!"
"Perfect! First of all, I have to show you..."
That was all he got out before a lightning bolt soared past the two water-users and hit the wall leaving an unsightly burned mark.
Demyx and the Liquidator stared at the mark in horror knowing how close that lightning bolt was to killing them. They then both looked into the room it came from to see Larxene and Megavolt battling it out.
"Um, on second thought. Maybe we should start in the other end of the castle." Demyx said.
"I totally agree with that move, boss!" The Liquidator nodded.
Without a second thought, the two ran off in the other direction.
As they do so, they zoomed past Vexen.
"Hey! No running in the halls! Where in the name of frostbite is the fire!" The scientist snapped.
"Not a fire! But an electric cross-fire!" The Liquidator shouted before they went out of sight.
Vexen raised a confused eyebrow at this. He was going to ask what did the watery dog mean but then he heard loud static. Turning to the direction of the noise, he saw sparks flying from the room.
"What the?" The ice-user said before running over to the doorway and poking his head to see the electric battle.
"A fight! Between one member of the Organzation XIII and the Fearsome Five? After our truce" Vexen asked narrowing his eyes. "Not on MY watch! I am going to put a stop to this!"
He then stepped forward into the room.
Only to quickly summon his ice shield to block a stray lightning bolt. Whose it was from was anyone's guess.
Vexen blinked twice realizing that he was almost electrocuted. "Later."
With that, he was about to run off.
"Running away as always, eh, Number IV?" A familiar voice said behind him.
Vexen cringed at the voice before slowly turning around to see everyone.
"Excuse me! Frontal attacks are not my strong point and you know that, Marluxia!" Vexen snapped.
The pink-haired man rolled his eyes. "Yeah, sure, you keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel any better."
Vexen growled. "Oh, I like to see YOU do any better."
"Are you kidding? I am not stupid!" Marluxia laughed.
Vexen summoned many anger mark on his head.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" NegaDuck shouted making the two shut up. "Let me handle this."
Axel simply shrugged. "It's your funeral."
"Oh, believe me. It IS going to be somebody's funeral, all right." NegaDuck said darkly.
He then cleared his throat.
"STOP THAT AT ONCE BEFORE I'LL DROP YOU IN THE OCEAN!"
Megavolt's eyes widened when he heard the loud voice. Unfortunately, it was when he and Larxene were running at each other so when he tried to stop, all he can do is skid. Larxene's eyes widened not expecting this at all.
WHAM!
Everyone cringed at the collision of the two electricity-users. The two fell onto their backs completely dazed.
"Oh, look! Look how happy those light-bulbs are as they dance." Megavolt said weakly.
"Yeah!" Larxene said dizzily. "Somebody crush them for me."
Everyone else sweat-dropped.
The two then sat up holding their heads.
"Oh, you are awake!" NegaDuck beamed.
Megavolt's eyes widened before turning to the evil duck. "Um.... Hey, there, boss!"
"Hey there, Megavolt, are you all right?" NegaDuck asked concerned.
"Um, hey, just a little stunned..." The rat said.
"I see. Thank goodness." NegaDuck said in relief. "Just one thing though."
"W-What's that?" The rat asked taking a deep gulp.
"DIDN'T I JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT HALF A HOUR AGO TO GET ALONG WITH THE ORGANIZATION!?" NegaDuck shouted at the top of his lungs making the rat's tail blow in the wind.
Megavolt instantly covered himself.
Larxene crossed her arms. "Honestly, we let you into our castle and you do this! Shameful, shameful, shameful!"
Megavolt growled before turning to her. "You started it!"
"Oh, really!" Larxene said crossing her arms. "Who threw the first punch?"
Megavolt nervously sweat-dropped at this. "Well, I did."
"See? He sucker-punched me!" Larxene snapped.
"Now, hold on! First, it is sucker-shocked and second, you deserved it!" Megavolt snapped. "You killed Brainy!"
"Who's Brainy?" Demyx whispered.
"You don't want to know." The Liquidator whispered back.
"So what if I "killed" him. He is just a stupid light bulb!" Larxene snapped.
"See? She admitted it! And she's not even sorry about it!" Megavolt pointed out. "She is so... So..."
"Heartless?" Larxene finished.
"Yes, exactly!" Megavolt snapped.
Larxene rolled her eyes. "Well, I DO have no heart!"
"Well, at least you could just PRETEND to care." Megavolt snapped.
"But I DID pretended! I pretended to keep Brainy safe, didn't I?" Larxene smirked.
Megavolt growled. "You... You..."
"ENOUGH!" NegaDuck shouted. "Megavolt, being a hater of manners like myself, you don't have to apologize to her. But at least don't sucker-punch her!"
"Actually, the term is..."
"I don't care what the freaking term is!" NegaDuck snapped making him shut up.
"But sir, he killed Brainy!" Megavolt said.
"Megavolt, look at my face." NegaDuck said pointing to his face. "What does it says?"
"It says that I couldn't care less." Megavolt noted.
"EXACTLY!"
"But boss..." Megavolt whined.
NegaDuck simply glared at him with his arms crossed while tapping his feet. The electric rat turned to Larxene who had a VERY smug look on her face.
He took a deep breath. "Yes, boss..."
"Maybe that will teach you not to sucker-shock a woman." Larxene smirked getting up.
Megavolt snapped his head to her with a death glare that is only rivalled by NegaDuck himself. He got up and walked straight up to Larxene's face.
"Look, I try to be nice but trust you with Brainy and you... you murdered him!" Megavolt snapped. "Even though we are living in the same castle from now on, don't you ever talk to me ever again!"
Larxene simply shrugged. "I guess I could keep that promise."
Megavolt growled before walking over to the remains of Brainy the light bulb. Kneeling down, he carefully picked up the pieces.
"Maybe there is still a chance to save him." The rat said.
With that, he left the room lamenting over the pieces of his light bulb.
"That dude's a broken record!" Xigbar said scratching his head.
"I am sooo glad we weren't there when they had their dispute!" The Liquidator said sighing in relief.
Larxene, on the other hand gave a thoughtful look. "Hmm... That rat is stronger than he looks! I would have thought a sideshow freak would be easy to beat but yet, he almost got me. Almost."
She then smirked darkly.
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful "friendship"."
There's Chapter 4! Sorry about the long delay! Review away!
