Toys and Lightbulbs

Chapter 6

The air was crisp and cold as the two crazed villains were out on the large rooftop of the building. Large electric power geneators stood beside where the Time Top was currently sitting.

Megavolt was busy working hard on getting the Time Top powered up as Quackerjack happily hopped up and down on his pogo stick on the rooftop below them, giggling madly.

Finally, Megavolt finished his work and hopped down from the top of the Time Top and landed down next to Quackerjack, who was now playing with a paddle ball. The crazed clown looked at him excitedly.

"Okay, Quacky, the Time Top is all charged up and ready to bye-bye!!" he informed Quackerjack with a grin, jamming a thumb towards the Time Top behind him. He had a smug look on his face.

Quackerjack tossed aside his paddle ball and laughed, doing a backflip and landing on his back. "Megs, do you know what this means!? We'll be able to go into the future!" he jumped up and got on top of the Time Top, wrapping his arms around the large spinning top handle. "Well, be able to see the wonders of the future! Self-spinning jump ropes, electric yo-yo's, super cuddly Wuffle bears..." His voice was an octive higher than usually as he said these words, his eyes dazed off as he imagined it all.

Megavolt nodded. "I know. All those solar powered lightbulbs are just waiting for me! But wait.." blinked the rodent, realizing something. "If we go through time...then that means that we could seriously alter history, therefore ripping a whole in the space time continuum...which would wreak havoc in the past, present, and future!!" He was silent for a moment as he registered what he just said, a look of dazement on his face as his eyes stared unfocusly in front of him. "That actually sounds like fun!" he chuckled a moment later.

Quackerjack quickly ushered his electric friend into the Time Top, where the two of them immediatly started working on getting it started. It was then that they heard the words.

"I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the battery that is not included. I am Darkwi--ng Duck!!"

Megavolt glared out of the small round window on the side of the Time Top, watching as Darwking collected himself after slamming hard agsinst the roof's pavement. "Oh, like we didn't know that!" he sneered. He turned around to look at Quackerjack, who was working with the controls to the Time Top. "Let me out!" he demanded. "I'll make the duck fry like spit of a griddle!" seethed the rat, watching as sparks of electricty zapped back and forth between his thumb and index finger.

Quackerjack beamed at the idea, but knew that wouldn't be the best of ideas. He stood and went to Megavolt, wrapping his arm around the rodent's shoulders and giving him a an evil smirk. "No, no, we can't do that! Wouldn't it be better if you could go into the future and come back with a solar powered laser gun to finish him off!?"

Megavolt had to admit that the offer was tempting. It would be a lot more fun to finish off the Masked Mallard that way. Megavolt nodded as Quackerjack giggled and they both looked at the controls, turning on the Time Top.

--

It didn't seem like much had happened. Though it did feel as though an earthquake had shook the Time Top. But the ride had been so brief, Megavolt was unsure if the ride even took place as they both popped their heads out of the Time Top.

"Wow, was that an earthquake!?" asked Megavolt, dazed as he looked around. Quackerjack pushed him aside.

"Who cares! We have to get to the Toy Factory as soon as possible!!" he squealed. Megavolt groaned at the thought of going to the Toy Store. Why go there when he could simply stay here and look at the progress of this magnificent electric generator that was in front of him instead. Of course, when they both decided to take a vote, the jester had won. Mr. Banana Brain always chose with Quackerjack it seemed.

But the two villains immediatly knew something was wrong when an average day citizen ran up to them and started rambling about not doing something. The man seemed terrified. He wore a business suit and had a brief case, as though he had just left his office. The two villains looked at each other, confused. It was then that a rumbling sound could be heard and the man hid behind their legs, saying something about, "Too late."

Megavolt and Quackerjack didn't waste time in hiding, leaving the poor man to fend for themselves as they hid in trashcans. It was then that they met DarkWarrior Duck. They were astounded to see what the Masked Mallard now did with jaywalkers. They didn't want to even think about what he did to actual criminals like themselves.

Their breath could be seen as they quickly walked down the sidewalk, intending on getting back to the Time Top as soon as possible. Megavolt wrapped his arms around himself, chilly from the cold air. Quackerjack noticed and grinned. "Cold, Megsy?" His voice was a whisper, but a squeaky one. Megavolt could tell he was still shaken by what they had seen moments ago by DarkWarrior Duck.

Megavolt shrugged indifferently. "A bit" he sniffed airily. Before he knew it, colorful sleeves were around Megavolt as they continued to walk as Quackerjack attempted to keep him warm.

"My jester outfit always keeps me warm. But a rubber suit doesn't so much, I guess." he whispered into the rodent's ear. Megavolt was about to say thank you when a large metalic, purple duck head floated just above them.

"Scanning." it said. Quackerjack's grip on Megavolt became tighter as they stopped, staring up at it with caution. "Confirmed. Fearsome Five Villain: Quackerjack. Crazed ex-Toymaker. Once known as Micheal Bell. Also, Fearsome Five Villain: Megavolt. Crazed Electrical Rodent. Once known as Elmo Sputterspark. Capture and Suspend. Capture and Suspend."

Despite the situation, Quackerjack couldn't help but note into Megavolt's ear, "You'll notice the word 'crazed' is used in both our descriptions."

"Who the hell is Elmo!?" demanded Megavolt cuiously, ignoring the jester's comment.. Just as the words left his mouth, more of the metalic duck heads swarmed around them. Letting go a Megavolt, Quackerjack spun around and eyed them catiously. "Grr...Had we just stayed at the Time Top..." muttered Megavolt angrily.

Quackerjack was about to retaliate when the main Duck Head spoke again. "You two have been charged for parking in a no-parking zone."

"Oooh...you parked the Time Top in a no-parking zone!!" hissed Megavolt as the jester, who was behind him.

"How was I supposed to know that!?" squeaked the jester heatedly. They each stepped backward, their backs meeting. The jester, being several inches taller than Megavolt, looked back and slightly downward and at the rodent. "Now what?" he asked frantically, remembering what had happened with the jaywalker.

Megavolt gulped. It was then that one of the Duck Heads grabbed Megavolt quicklyby the arm with one of its robotic arms that appeared from below its beak. Megavolt jumped at the touch, trying to get the robotic arm off of him. "Get it off! Get it off!" he screeched. Quackerjack turned around and was about to help him when another arm grabbed Megavolt's other arm and started pulling him upward. Megavolt kicked his legs back and forth as they left the ground.

"Hey!! You stop that right now!! Bring me back my Megsy!!" hollered Quackerjack angrily. He was about to try and jump up to grab Megavolt's foot, which was now high in the air, when two robotic arms grabbed at him and did the same thing.

Both villains were now up in the air, kicking and shouting out, trying to get lose.

"You stupid robots don't play fair!! This is why I hate technology!! If it isn't used for proper games, its no fun!!" rambled on Quackerjack, half scared, half angry.

"I don't think that is what you should be worried about, Quacky" groaned Megavolt. Quackerjack looked over to see what the rodent met when his eyes met the destination that they Duck Heads were taking them. In front of them stood the tall and looming jail house.

--

The room was dark, for there was very little light coming in through the barred window. It didn't help that it was nighttime out, and therefore the only light coming in was the moonlight. Strangely though, in this horrifying future, the moonlight didn't appear to be as bright and shining as it should.

Quackerjack brought out Mr. Banana Brain and sat him on his shoulder as he sat against the cold brick wall. Megavolt was sitting beside him, looking curiously at all the other 'criminals' in the large room with them. Somany average day citizens were inside the large cell room with them. There was even an elderly woman in a rocking chair in with them.

This was nothing like the jail time the two of them had spent in before. This was just plain madness. Even they could tell that Darkwing, no, DarkWarrior, had lost his mind with his crime fighting.

Megavolt looked down into his lap and shuffled his feet on the floor. "Well, now what Einstein? This was your idea" he asked quietly, not trying very hard to keephis anger hidden.

Quackerjack glanced at him through the corner of his eye, a frown on his beak. He grabbed Mr. Banana Brain. "You think of something, you ignorant wank" said the doll.

Megavolt growled at the doll, giving Quackerjack a shove in the ribs with his elbow. Quackerjack retaliated by doing the same thing, which made Megavolthiss in pain. Quackerjack's eyes widened as he remembered his friend's injury. "Sorry!" he squeaked.

"Are not" hissed Megavolt, crossing his arms and ignoring the pain.

The two continued to ignore each other until the red-headed girl came in, along with the the large duck who looked like an ex-pilot. Quackerjack didn't pay much attention to them as they talked amongst themselves near the barred window. He was looking towards Megavolt, who was standing beside him, his arms crossed and an annoyed look on his face.

He frowned. He hated the fact that Megavolt was angry with him, but the damn rodent was blaming this whole situation on him!!

"Megsy..." he whispered to the other villain. Megavolt tried to act as though he didn't want to listen, but Quackerjack could tell he was. "I'm sorry..."

Megavolt shuffled his feet a bit, not saying anything. He glanced over and saw that the red headed girl was getting upset about something. She had a lot of spirit, he could tell.

"Hey! Quackerjack!!" came the girl's voice. Quackerjack stepped away a bit from his apology and looked at the girl. "Do you happen to still have any of those toy teeth of yours?"

Quackerjack frowned, pulling down on his hat. "No...They took away all my toys just after draining Megavolt's battery..."

Megavolt huffed angrily at this. It was then that the eldery woman in the rocking chair spoke up. "Would these work?" she asked Quackerjack and Gosalyn. They both blinked at her as she pulled out her teeth.

Immediatly, Quackerjack set to work, brining out little wind up peices and sticking them into the four pairs of teeth the woman had on her. It didn't take long for him to figure it out, seeing as he was a pro at making them. It was just slightly different, since this time, they were real.

As Quackerjack struggled to get the metal peice into them, Megavolt knelt down beside Quackerjack, who was crouched on the floor, and gently rubbed his nose into the jester's neck. This made Quackerjack shiver, and almost loose his balance. He quickly looked over at Megavolt in question. "What was that for!?" he asked quietly.

Megavolt didn't reply at first, just watched as Quackerjack continued to work on the teeth. "I've been thinking..."

"Hard to do that, isn't it?" asked Quackerjack lightly.

"Yeah, it is..." nodded Megavolt in agreement. Quackerjack grinned widely. Megavolt cleared his throat and continued. "Anyways, like I was saying, I've been thinking that...maybe the idea of...you and me...isn't so bad.."

Quackerjack perked up immediatly at this. He looked at Megavolt happily. "Really!?" Megavolt nodded. "What made you change your mind?"

"Well, a few things. First, the sight of you being taken away by those stupid mechanical duck heads. And the thought of being in a fight with you" he stopped as Gosalyn came and grabbed the toy teeth that were finished and placed them at the bar doors, where the toy teeth immediatly started chewing away at the bars.

Megavolt wasn't able to continue as the two of them quickly stood and everyone in the cell made a break for it. Quackerjack grabbed Megavolt's hand as they ran through the doors of the jail house and outside in a fenced area. A jolt of electricty shot through his hand as Megavolt squezzed it ever so much. He was really starting to get used to being shocked all the time. And he wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing.

Megavolt yelped when they knew there was no where else to go. They were now in a fenced in area just outside the jailhouse. Gosalyn and Launchpad weren't too far away from them. Considering the situation, the day was quite nice. It was a bright day with a blue sky. But no one noticed as all the systems and alarms alerted DarkWarrior Duck that his prisoners had escaped.

The two villains watched anxiously as the demented duck came closer to them. "Take this!!" called out Megavolt, trying to shoot as much electricty as he could. It wasn't much, since his battery was drained but it was enough to make Darkwarrior dodge it.

"That won't help you much, Sparky" growled DarkWarrior. He looked over and saw a hose. Grabbing it quickly, he shot water towards the rodent, who shorted out with a cry. It was then that DarkWarrior became distracted and the two of them saw their chance to run to the Time Top.

Megavolt stopped though. "What about the girl!? She accidently came with us! We shouldn't leave her!"

Quackerjack stopped as well and looked at him with a confused expression. "Megs, we're villians, we don't care..."

Megavolt put his hands on his hips and stared at his lover. "Quacky.."

"Fine, we'll wait..." They both looked over and saw that Gosalyn was about to be pulverised by DarkWarrior, but winced when Launchpad hit him with a large pan. "Ooh...That had to hurt..." moaned Quackerjack.

--

It was nice to know that they were back in their own time. Gosalyn immediatly bounced out of the Time Top before Quackerjack or Megavolt could do anything. It was then that the two villains were finally able to get some peace. After getting away from Darkwing Duck again. When they first saw him appear, they assumed it was still DarkWarrior, unsure if their second time trip had worked. But they still managed to get away.

They were now back in Megavolt's Lighthouse, the Time Top parked outside. Megavolt took off his electric plug hat and scratched his head, exhausted. "I don't know about you, Quacky, but I'm beat..." he sighed.

Quackerjack nodded. He heated to admit that he was tired, but this time he couldn't help but. He brought out Mr. Banana Brain. "Me too, Stu."

Quackerjack sat down on Megavolt's beat up couch, Megavolt joining him a moment later. "Oh, Megs, what is it that you were trying to say, back before we broke out of the jail house?"

Megavolt wracked his brain and tried to remember the conversation that they had had. "Ummm...I'm not sure..." Quackerjack gave him a pleading look and Megavolt decided to try a little harder in remembering. "Oh, right. I was just saying that, the reasons I think that I changed my mind about...us...is because I hated the thought of you being mad at me. I...know we always hated each other before and have always fought, but this time, I hated the thought of being mad at you..."

Quackerjack nodded. "Guess St. Canard is going to have double trouble these days, what with us ebing all chaotic and together..."

Megavolt grinned wickedly. "Oh yeah..." He blinked. "Hey, I think I have an idea of what we could do..."

"Oh...?"

"It invloves a large electric gun and a lot of explosions..."

"Oh, goodie!!" giggled Quackerjack, clapping his hands together. Before Megavolt could move another inch, Quackerjack grabbed him around the waist and lunged into him, making him fall back into the couch. He smiled, hugging Quackerjack back. Yeah, it was weird and demented, but, honestly, what part of their lives wasn't demented or weird? Hmm? The two of them snuggled together for the rest of the night.
