This is something I've always kinda wanted to do, because these are both awesome shows. The Fearsome Five and the Air Pirates team up in the search for treasure, and so do Darkwing and Baloo.

"I still don't understand why I have to wear a dress!" Gosalyn grumbled, crossing her arms in front of her chest as she stood in the living room dressed in a black old fashioned dress

"Because, dear, this is a sophisticated party that Mr. McDuck was kind enough to invite all of us to,” Morgana said, fixing Gosalyn’s ponytails

“Is everybody ready?” Launchpad asked walking down the steps, attempting to tie his tie

“Everyone except, dad,” Gosalyn said, taking a seat on one of the revolving chairs

“He said he’ll be down in a minute,” Launchpad said

“Is he trying to bring any of his weapons along?” Morgana asked

“Just his gas gun,” Launchpad said as Drake finally came down from the second floor, fully dressed in his tux

“Well” Morgana mumbled “alright”

“Everyone ready?” Drake asked adjusting his cufflinks

“Yup” Launchpad said as Morgana took a seat on the vacant revolving chair

“We’ll meet you down there,” Morgana said pressing the head of the mouse statue

“Is the Thunderquack loaded with my emergency supplies?” Drake asked once the chairs had finished rotating

“Packed and ready for any emergency!” Launchpad said as he and his partner took a set on the chairs

“Good” Drake said pushing the mouse's head

When the duo got to the crime lair they found that Gosalyn and Morgana were already getting settled in the Thunderquack, waiting for their pilot.

“Oh dear,” Morgana said looking at the clock on the plane's dashboard “we’re going to be late”

"Maybe not," Launchpad said starting up the Thunderquack "depends on how fast we fly"

Once everyone was strapped into their seats the Thunderquack took off into the sky for Cape Suzette. Thankfully for them, or maybe just Gosalyn, Morgana had had the forethought to bring along some travel games to play during the flight.

“Does your person have fangs?” Gosalyn asked looking down at the game on her lap

“No,” Morgana said glancing over at Drake “you’ve been awfully quiet?”

“I don’t like leaving the city unguarded for so long,” Drake said “especially when I know Negaduck is plotting something”

“Jeez,” Launchpad said tapping on the glass covering the gas gauge “looks like we’re runnin’ low on gas” he leaned over to look out the window "that looks like a place we can stop"

“What was that?” Drake asked looking up at the sky above them

"What was what, DW?" Launchpad asked lowering the plane

“I just saw Negaduck's plane!” Drake exclaimed, squishing his face against the glass to try and spot the aircraft again

“I didn’t see anything, Dark darling,” Morgana said leaning forward to look out the window as well “it was probably just the clouds playing tricks on you”

“Yeah, dad,” Gosalyn said “why would they be all the way out here”

“I’m not sure,” Drake said still suspicious, sulking back in his seat

Pushing forward on the wheel Launchpad took the plane down to the dock of the small island. Stopping in front of some gas pumps the crew looked up at the large neon sign that was sticking out of the mountain

“Louie’s” Launchpad read aloud as they all got out of the plane before starting up a conversation with one of the monkeys that were working at the pumps

As the Thunderquack was being worked on Drake, Morgana, and Gosalyn walked into the clubhouse so they could get directions to Cape Suzette to make sure they were heading in the right direction.

"Keen gear!" Gosalyn said taking in the party that was currently going on

"No you don't little missy," Drake said placing a hand on her shoulder "Morgana was nice enough to let you borrow one of her old dresses and I don't want you ruining it"

"Alright" Gosalyn grumbled, pouting a bit

As the three were walking through the club Morgana noticed an orangutang, two bears, one much younger than the other, and a female black panther moving around the bar, looking like they were getting ready to load up a plane. Despite the black fur, the panther had long orange hair that was parted down the middle, black and white stripes running down along both sides of the part in her hair, and pulled back into a ponytail.

"Baloo, man," Louie said as he Baloo, Kit, and the panther moved around some boxes "I can’t tell you guys how much it means that you're givin' me a hand and a ride; or that Sita managed to convince her daddy to hire me to cater this party"

"Well" Sita sighed "if you weren't there then I may need to hang myself in the restroom or throw myself out a window"

"Hey I'll be there," Baloo said feigning offense

"With Becca” Sita chuckled “who'll no doubt be keeping a very close eye on you”

"Excuse me," Morgana said walking over to Baloo "but do you know how to get to Cape Suzette from here?"

"Sure do," Baloo said turning to look at the witch "we're headin' back there ourselves”

“Would you mind if we followed you?” Morgana asked clasping her hands together

“Hey not at all!” Baloo said as Drake and Gosalyn walked over to the bar

“Who you talkin’ to Morgana?” Gosalyn asked hopping up on a bar stool

"There you guys are," Launchpad said joining his friends “what’d I miss?”

“These gentlemen just offered to show us how to get to Cape Suzette”

“That’s great! I’ll admit I wasn’t too sure of where to go from here” Launchpad said scratching the back of his head before offering his hand to shake “I’m Launchpad McQuack and this’s Morgana, Gosalyn, and Drake”

"It's nice ta meet ya'll," Louie said shaking LP’s hand "I’m Louie, and this here's, Baloo, Kit, and Sita”

“So what're you headin' to Cape Suzette for?" Kit asked as Baloo, Louie, and Sita all pick up a box

"Well, I used to be the pilot for Scrooge McDuck and he invited me to join him at a charity event a Mr. Khan is hosting there," Launchpad said noticing what they were doing "you guy's need a hand?"

“That’s not necessary,” Sita said

“It’s the least we can do,” Launchpad said grabbing a box

After a couple of minutes of loading boxes, the Thunderquack’s tank had been filled up and the Sea Duck was packed.

“Say,” Baloo said taking in the Thunderquack “nice plane ya got here”

“Thanks,” Launchpad said “that yours?”

“Yup,” Baloo said patting his planes haul “this’s my baby, customized her myself”

“She’s a beaut,” Launchpad said hopping into the pilot's seat “so you want me to stay a couple meters back?"

“Maybe one of us should go with Launchpad just in case we get separated” Sita suggested

“I’m sure we’ll be fine,” Launchpad said

“Alright,” Sita said shrugging it off and jumping into the Sea Duck

“Before I forget,” Baloo said sticking his head out of his plane “make sure to watch out for air pirates”

“You got it,” Launchpad said closing up the Thunderquack "what's an air pirate?"

Pulling away from the docks the Sea Duck took off for the cliffs of Cape Suzette with the Thunderquack tailing along from behind. Thankfully the sky was clear, with the occasional odd cloud here and there, so it was easy for Launchpad to stay on Baloo's tail.

"Hey what's that?" Gosalyn asked pointing at the Iron Vulture as it came out of the clouds

"Watch out back there," Baloo said over the radio "that’s the Iron Vulture. It’s filled to the brim with pirates”

"What do we do?" Launchpad asked picking up his radio

“Just keep your eyes peeled,” Baloo said

"HOLD IT!" Drake yelled hopping up to stand on his seat "that’s Negaducks plane. It's going into that, that thing!"

"Well ain't that strange," Baloo said watching as the Iron Vulture seemingly ate a plane that looked nearly identical to the one behind him before just flying off, completely ignoring the other two aircrafts

"Who do you think was in that plane?" Kit asked as they entered the cliffs of Cape Suzette

"No idea," Louie said scratching his head "but if they're workin' with Karnage they can't be good news"

"Attention all passengers," Baloo said picking up his radio again as they flew over the bay "here we have the beautiful city of Cape Suzette with its crystal clear bay, sky-high buildings, and an angry-looking Beckers standing on the docks. Oh boy"

"Is something wrong up there?" Launchpad asked

"It's just my boss," Baloo said as he pulled into the Higher for Hire docks

Reluctantly Baloo got out of the Sea Duck awaiting the verbal onslaught from his boss.

"Hey-a there Beckers," Baloo said as Kit, Louie, and Sita got out of the Sea Duck and Gosalyn, Drake, and Morgana got out of the Thunderquack

"Where have you been, Baloo?" Becky asked jabbing Baloo in the chest with her finger "you were supposed to be back with Louie ten minutes ago!" she noticed the ducks "oh, who're they?"

"Ms. Cunningham, this is Launchpad, Drake, Morgana, and Gosalyn" Kit said motioning to each person before looking back at them to introduce Beccy “they didn't know how to get here so Baloo offered to give ‘em a hand"

"Oh, well..." Becky said "you did good Baloo, but I still need you to hurry and take Louie and his supplies to the Spruce Moose"

"Right on it, Beckers," Baloo said going to unload his plane

"Oh allow me," Morgana said using her magic to levitate all of the boxes that had been loaded into the Sea Duck "where do these need to go?"

"Woah!” Kit said in awe of what was happening before him

"Say how're you doin' that?" Baloo asked looking dumbfounded

"Oh that's nothing," Gosalyn said excitedly "you should've seen it when she turned my dad into pudding"

——————————————————————————————————

After the aircraft had entered the Iron Vulture the Fearsome Five got out of the Nega-Thunderquack (Did it have a name in the show; I don’t remember?) and were greeted by Don Karnage as Dumptruck and Mad Dog stood behind their captain and the rest of the crew looked down from the catwalk above. "Welcome to the Iron Vulture my cunning accomplishes!" Karnage exclaimed "Wow!" Quackerjack said in amazement as he took in the size of the Vulture "it's so big. Echo" he sat there and listened as the word echo slowly faded away, giggling to himself “You must be Don Karnage,” Negaduck said taking a couple of steps forward “And you Negaduck,” Karnage said “it is nice to be finally meeting you in person, yes-no” “Yeah,” Negaduck said, drawing the word out a bit “…so how’re we gonna get past those cliffs? I noticed that there were a shit load of cannons running along them and they looked like they have some serious firepower” “No need to be worrying about the cannons,” Karnage said “we have a way of getting past them” “So what is it we need to steal?” Bushroot asked, wringing his leaved hands together nervously, until Liquidator placed a watery hand on his shoulder “There is a map that is said to be displayed within the Spruce Moose and it is the key to finding the treasure, there is also a party being held there tonight so we will also be having the opportunity to be getting some riches as well,” Karnage said as Gibber walked over to him whispering in his ear "excellent! The submarine is ready" "How many can fit in it?" Negaduck asked eyeballing the water vehicle "We should be able to be getting five maybe six people in there," Karnage said "So who gets to go?" Liquidator asked even though he already knew the answer "Not me!" Megavolt said quickly, terrified by the idea of being completely submerged in water “I’ll go” Quackerjack volunteered, raising his hand “You’re all going” Negaduck growled glaring at his team “And Mad Dog and Dumptruck shall be accompanying you,” Don Karnage said “after all you will be needing someone to operate the submarine” “Aw,” Mad Dog whined “do we have to, Cap’in?” “Yes!” Karnage yelled, slapping Mad Dog “how do you expect them to be navigating the bay much less the city!” “Yes, captain” Mad Dog sighed rubbing his cheek

——————————————————————————————————

Once Morgana had helped load all of Louie's crates into the truck that would be taking him to the Spruce Moose the ducks wandered over to the main road, Launchpad hailing them a cab so they could get to the hotel Scrooge and his nephews were staying at.

“Do you know what room number they’re in, LP?” Drake asked as they stepped into the hotel’s elevator

“Yeah,” Launchpad said pressing the button for the right floor “room 595”

Once the doors opened to the fifth floor everyone began counting out the room numbers until they came across the correct one.

“595” Launchpad said knocking on the door “this is it”

“Launchpad!” Dewey exclaimed after opening the door

“Hey, guys!” Launchpad said giving the boys a bear hug as they jumped him “you’ve gotten bigger since the last time I saw you”

“We’ve missed you, Launchpad,” Dewey said

“I missed you, boys, too” Launchpad chuckled

“Launchpad,” Scrooge said walking over to his old pilot “how’ve you been, lad?”

“I’ve been great, Mr. McD” Launchpad said, setting the boys down “I can’t thank you enough for inviting me to come here with you”

“It was nothing,” Scrooge said “now introduce us to your friends”

“Mr. McD this is Drake Mallard, his daughter Gosalyn, and his girlfriend Morgana McCawber” Launchpad said motioning to each person he named

“A pleasure to meet you,” Scrooge said tipping his hat slightly “I am Scrooge McDuck and these are my nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie”

“Hey, you alright? Huey asked having taken notice of Drake “you look distracted”

“I’m fine,” Drake said waving him off “just deep in thought”

“Boys,” Scrooge said getting the attention of his nephews as he checked his pocket watch “get your coats on, it’s time to go”

“Hey,” Launchpad said, realizing something “where’re Donald and Webby?”

“Donald’s back in Duckburg with his old garage band and Webby is at some retreat with Mrs. Beakley”

Once the boys got their jackets on the group made their way down to the lobby to wait for the limo that had been sent for Mr. McDuck and it wasn’t long before the gang found themselves arriving at the Spruce Moose almost directly after Rebecca and Baloo did.

“Well, howdy there, strangers,” Baloo said when he noticed the ducks

“Hey there, Baloo,” Launchpad said, shaking the bear's hand “where’s Sita?”

“She’s already here with her pops”

“Mr. McDuck” Rebecca said in a sickenly sweet voice “it’s such an honor to meet you! I’m Rebecca Cunningham”

“It’s nice to meet ya, lass,” Scrooge said offering his hand to shake “now, Launchpad here has spoken quite highly of your pilot” he tapped Baloo's gut with his cane “and I have been thinking about making expanding business connections in Cape Suzette, perhaps we can discuss it”

“That would be wonderful!” Rebecca said clasping her hands together

“Let’s get a seat ‘fore all the good ones ‘re taken,” Baloo said motioning for the others to come inside with him

Stepping inside the grounded plane everyone took a moment to marvel at the decorations.

“Who’s that scary guy with Sita?” Gosalyn asked

“That would be her dad,” Baloo said, leaning forward a bit to be more on her level

Standing near a group of businessmen was Sita, wearing a knee-length deep blue dress with Shere Khan and a female tiger that looked to be the exact age as her, wearing a black floor-length turtleneck, but with black hair that had been pulled up into a bun at the top of her head and held a stern look that was very similar to the one the other tiger wore. As the others went to find a table Scrooge and his nephews walked up to the tiger so they could get introductions out of the way.

“Mr. McDuck,” Shere Khan said shaking the duck's hand “it’s nice to see you again”

“Nice to see you again as well, Mr. Khan,” Scrooge said

“You remember my daughters?” Shere Khan said “Monika and Sita”

“Yes, such lovely young women” Scrooge said “I don’t believe you’ve met my nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Boys this is Mr. Khan CEO of Khan Industries”

“Hello”

“Hi”

“‘Sup”

“My” Monika said looking down at the triplets “aren’t you three adorable”

“Louie Duck” Louie said stepping forward his hand outstretched for the tiger to shake “of Louie Enterprises”

“Go sit down, lad” Scrooge said, gently nudging his nephew with his cane

“Why?”

“Because you don’t have a solid business model yet. Telling people the name of your company but having nothing to offer isn’t going to get you anywhere”

Groaning Louie sulked over to the table his brothers had sat themselves at.

“Eager child isn’t he,” Shere Khan said

“Ey,” Scrooge sighed watching Louie join his brothers “he is. He’s got a bright future ahead of him if he applies himself”

When they got there Drake had split away from his family and found a spot that gave him plenty of room to pace in murmuring to himself obviously, at least to the ducks that knew him, obsessing over trying to come up with reasons as to why the Fearsome Five could possibly have reason to be this far away from St.Canard.

"Oooh, it's going to be like this all night isn't it?" Morgana growled looking very annoyed, dully glaring at her boyfriend

"Hey," Gosalyn said looking up at the witch "if it is then we can always dance together"

“That sounds wonderful, darling,” Morgana said placing a hand on the young duckling's shoulder as she lead her over to the refreshment table “but how about you go over and sit with the boys”

“Do I have to?” Gosalyn asked

“I’m sure you’ll get along just fine,” Morgana said grabbing a glass, filling it up with some punch for Gosalyn “besides I doubt you’ll want to spend all night listening to boring business talk”

“Alright” Gosalyn grumbled taking the cup from the witch before walking over to the table Huey, Dewey, and Louie were sitting at

As the night went on everything seemed to be getting along quite well; Gosalyn and the boys were telling exaggerated stories of their adventures, trying to outdo each other with their tales, standing by where Louie had set up shop were Baloo and Launchpad having a conversation about planes as Sita listened in, Morgana had decided to take a crack at trying to get Drake to take a break from his thoughts and join in on the party, while Rebecca, Monika, and Scrooge were discussing business. As Sita was listening in to the pilot's conversation a gray wolf dressed in a rather fancy-looking pilot's jacket over a nice dress shirt came over to her, radiating an air of superiority.

“Howdy there,” the wolf said, giving a toothy grin “the name’s Ace London. I’m sure you’ve heard of me”

“Uh,” Sita said looking from him to where her friends were standing next to her

“At a loss for words I see,” Ace said, his smile widening “yeah, I have that effect on women”

Sita didn’t respond to anything the wolf said to her, she just stood there looking at him unsure of what was happening or what she should do, waiting for one of her friends to come help her, but none of them did. Baloo and Louie, because all Ace was doing, was bragging about himself and wasn’t making any obvious moves, while Monika just wanted to watch her twin squirm for a bit before coming to her rescue.

“Would you all excuse me for a moment?” Monika asked, waiting a few seconds to get approval before walking over to her sister “you must be Ace London. I am Monika Khan” she held out her hand for the pilot to shake, giving Sita a chance to escape

“Thanks for the help, Baloo” Sita quietly hissed as she walked past the bear

“Anytime” Baloo chuckled saluting the panther

Deciding she needed a moment alone Sita found a spot towards the back of the plane where no one else was standing, chugging the remainder of her drink when she noticed a framed map that was hanging on the wall that was quick to garner all of her attention and she took in every detail of it. Just then several sets of thorny vines burst through the windows at the helm of the plane. Everyone looked up in shock at the vegetation as gleefully hysterical laughter rang out into the room.

“It’s playtime!” Exclaimed Quackerjack happily as he appeared at the top of the vines, letting loose an army of snapping toy teeth that began a mission to clear out the room

Flipping down to the floor the crazed toymaker watched as everyone who was in attendance began running around the room in a panic, with the exception of our heroes, and Megavolt, Bushroot, Mad Dog, and Dumptruck climbed down the vines while harsh waves began violently rocking the grounded plane, eventually pushing it away from the dock. Thankfully, by that point, a majority of the civilians had gotten away. With the plane now far enough away from the docks that no one could get on or off board Liquidator made his entrance, practically exploding through the busted open window not only to make it more dramatic but also as a way to intimidate any stragglers that were still inside the Moose.

“Now how’d those two get past the cliff guns?” Baloo asked looking at the two pirates as they began moving throughout the room

“Looks like you were right, DW” Launchpad said to what he thought was his partner, glad that Morgana, Gosalyn, and the boys had managed to find a spot that had them hidden from the villain's view “DW?” He looked around when he didn’t get a response

“I am the terror that flaps in the night” a voice boomed while a blue smoke filtered into the room

“You gotta be freakin’ kidding me,” Quackerjack said rolling his eyes

“I am the partygoer that makes everyone uncomfortable”

“W-what’s he doing all the way out here?” Bushroot stuttered, taking a couple of steps toward Liquidator

“I am Darkwi-i-i-i-i-i-ing Duck!”

“You guys know him?” Mad Dog asked Liquidator

“Unfortunately” Liquidator sighed furrowing his brows in annoyance, forming his hand into a giant fist

Rearing back his arm Liquidator slung it forward so he could punch the caped crusader into the wall behind him, several large droplets of water flinging off of his arm from the movements.

“Hey,” Megavolt said, lifting his leg so he could avoid the water “watch it!”

“That’s it!” Gosalyn exclaimed getting an idea “come on” she motioned for the boys to follow her as she crawled away

Crawling behind an empty table Gosalyn snatched the tablecloth off of it before continuing for the table that had the punch bowl on it.

“What’re we gonna do with that?” Dewey asked, furrowing his eyebrows a bit in confusion

“We need to make a slingshot so we can launch the punch bowl at that guy,” Gosalyn said pointing from the bowl to Megavolt “so we can short out his powers”

“Got it,” the three boys said in unison as Louie and Dewey grabbed the cloth so they could hold it steady and Gosalyn and Huey grabbed the punch bowl. With his brothers holding the sling in place Huey set the bowl on the fabric and took several steps back until the material was taught

“Ready,” Gosalyn said standing behind the red triplet so he knew where to aim “aim. Fire!”

And with that Huey released his hold, the bowl flying through the air until it hit its target, successfully shorting out Megavolt's powers, leaving him singed and smoking.

“Come on, Sparky,” Quarkerjack teased flipping over to his soaking-wet partner “we just got here”

“Don’t call me that!” Megavolt growled shaking the droplets of punch off of his gloves

Recovering from the watery attack Darkwing was quick to notice that Megavolt was seemingly down for the count without access to his electric powers, so he decided to take him out first. However, what he didn’t know was that even with his powers shorted out Megavolt wasn’t defenseless, he had a laser gun that Quackerjack had customized for him strapped onto his belt. Seeing that Darkwing was coming right for him Megavolt let out a yelp before pulling it out so he could fire at the masked hero, coming close to hitting him several times.

“Don’t worry, DW!” Launchpad exclaimed trying to run over to his partner, only to be blocked by Quackerjack “I’m coming”

“I don’t think so, Joe,” Mr. Bananabrain said being shoved into Launchpad's face

Letting out a startled yelp at the sudden appearance of the doll, Launch Pad stumbled backward, just barely managing to catch himself on the edge of the table before he hit the ground. Pulling out two more sets of snapping teeth Quackerjack replaced Mr. Bananabrain with them in his hands and tried to assault Launchpad with them but the pilot was able to avoid every attempt to bite him; eventually being forced to run away, the mad jester running after him.

“Move it aside gramps” Mad Dog said walking up to Scrooge, his sword raised

“Please” Scrooge scoffed rolling his eyes “I’ve faced off against hordes of villains far more intimidating than you” he held his cane out like a sword “so have at thee”

It became apparent to the pirate that he was severely outmatched as Scrooge had years of experience over him and was slowly being led closer to where Monika and Shere Khan were standing on the sidelines, stoically watching the chaos. Snagging the hook of his cane around Mad Dog's ankle, Scrooge pulled his leg out from under him, causing the air pirate to tumble backward towards where Monika and Shere Khan stood, the former side kicking him away from her and her dad. Just like his fellow pirate Dumptruck wasn’t having much luck either, he’d gotten too close to where Rebecca was standing and she had decided to retaliate.

“You no good low down dirty pirate!” Rebecca exclaimed angrily, as she repeatedly hit Dumptruck over the head with her purse until the moment he was no longer within her reach

“Hold still you little” Morgana growled as she desperately tried to hit Liquidator with her magic, only to have said villain avoid every beam

“Is the pressure of superheroing stressing you out? Do you feel like no matter how hard you try you’ll never be able to measure up?” Liquidator asked, his body stretching out and forming into a wave “let Liquidator brand water wash your troubles away”

Unable to get away in time Morgana was washed across the room by the force of the villous wave, a rouge beam of magic striking Launchpad, turning him into a yak.

Now just because all of the villains were busy fighting the adults doesn’t mean the boys or Gosalyn were sitting back twiddling their thumbs. Hopping from table to table Gosalyn and Dewey were using broken chair legs they’d picked up as hockey sticks to whack away the toy teeth chattering along the floor and Hewey and Louie used their pieces of broken chair to beat back Booshroots vines.

“Ah hell, Baloo, look at us just standin’ around doin’ nothing. We should get in there and start helping” Louie said lifting a box of fruit

“Couldn’t agree with you more” Baloo said grabbing a melon

Dropping the crate on the counter Louie grabbed some fruit as well, the two of them chucking the produce at any bad guy they laid their eye’s on. Unfortunately, for everyone really, after the fruit hit their targets they left slick puddles of juice on the floor. The first to fall victim to the juices were the yak Launchpad and Quackerjack, the two stumbling as they attempted to keep on their feet. As his partner and the sidekick were struggling to keep on their feet Megavolt had managed to turn the tables and was now chasing Darkwing, firing right at the hero’s heels when a melon hit him in the face, completely covering his goggles effectively blinding him; causing him to fire wildly at anything that happened to be nearby as he attempted to wipe off his goggles.

Amongst all of the fighting Bushroot took the opportunity to discreetly slip to the back of the Moose so he could attempt to nab the map they had come to steal. Unfortunately for him, the glass frame was not coming off of the wall, no matter how hard he pulled at it. Using his sword to keep the fruit from hitting him Dumptruck made his way back to the plant-duck.

“What’s the holdup?” Dumptruck asked ducking down to avoid a bundle of grapes

“It’s stuck!” Bushroot said defeated, flopping down his vine arms

“Let me try,” Dumptruck said, pushing up his sleeves above his elbows but to no avail, despite him being significantly stronger than Bushroot the map frame refused to come off of the wall. In his anger he was about to punch open the glass frame, probably damaging the map in the process, when he noticed flashing red and blue lights coming for the Spruce Moose “uh oh. Here come the coppers”

“How close are they?” Megavolt asked having made his way over to an outlet as Darkwing was now dealing with Liquidator

“I say we got about five minutes till they get here,” Dumptruck said, noticing that Sita was still standing where she'd been when this all started "come on" he grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her along with him towards the sub

Letting out an irritated groan, Megavolt plugged himself into an outlet of the grounded plane to recharge his battery, effectively shorting out the circuitry as he recharged his battery, throwing everyone into darkness. Utilizing the opportunity the villains escape to their submarine, that they’d had the foresight to anchor to the Spruce Moose just as the emergency lights clicked on.

“Oh,” Morgana said hurrying over to LP “Launchpad, I’m so sorry. I’ll get you turned back to normal”

“Hey,” Launchpad said as Morgana turned him back to normal “no harm no foul”

“Is everyone alright?” Darkwing asked looking around the room

“Yeah”

“Sita is gone,” Monika said, having learned to hide her emotions just as well as her father could “the pirates must have taken her”

“Oh dear,” Shere Khan said

“No need to worry, Ace London’ll bring her back safe and sound in no time!” Ace exclaimed walking over to the CEO from the spot he’d been cowering in

“While I’m sure that your reputation alone would be enough qualification for a task such as this” Shere Khan started, knowing exactly what kind of pilot the wolf was “I feel it would be wiser to send someone who has been able to survive multiple encounters with the air pirates and know how they function” the tiger turned his attention to Rebbecca “Ms. Cuningham, I would be willing to more than compensate you for the use of your pilot and plane if you send Baloo to rescue my daughter”

“Of course,” Rebecca said, worry creeping onto her face “I’ll send him out as soon as possible”

“Now just hold on a minute” Ace said

“Enough,” Shere Khan said, as his remaining daughter rolled her eyes “I have made my decision. If you wish to face the air pirates yourself, that is your choice”

“What were they trying to accomplish?” Darkwing asked as he looked over the crime scene “almost everyone managed to evacuate the building before The Fearsome Four and those two air pirates entered and nothing but Sita appears to have been taken and Negaduck’s not one for ransoming heiress”

“What’re you thinking, DW?” Launchpad asked

“I’m not sure,” Darkwing said, rubbing his chin in thought

“It has something to do with that map,” Monika said pointing at the map her sister had been looking at before the chaos

“What makes you say that?” Darkwing asked looking at the tigress

“It’s a twin thing,” Monika said “follow the map and you’ll find Karnage”

——————————————————————————————————

With the assistance of the Liquidator the Fearsome Four and Air Pirates were able to get to the rendezvous point in half the time it would have normally taken. Pulling just before the mouth of the Vulture the water dog lifted them the rest of the way into the plane hanger; however, since they arrived much sooner than anyone expected they didn’t receive anything close to a warm welcome. “You got back awfully fast,” Karnage said looking down at them suspiciously from the catwalk he and Negaduck had been walking along, discussing their plans “We couldn’t get the map, sir,” Mad Dog said as his captain and Negaduck walked down to the carrier before quickly adding “but we didn’t come back empty-handed” “Did you now?” Karnage asked raising an eyebrow and tapping his foot impatiently while everyone but Sita and Mad Dog got out of the submarine “I am not see anything with you” “She’s right…” Mad Dog started turning around, so he could motion for the panther to emerge “She!” Negaduck yelled furiously, raising both his fists in the air “you idiots completely ignored the one thing you needed to steal and took some woman!” “It’s not our fault Darkwing Dork showed up,” Megavolt said “So!? He shows up all the time back in St.Canard you should be expecting him by now!” “That thing was hooked into the wall good,” Sita said popping her head out of the submarine “there was no way in hell they were going to get it down undamaged and still be able to escape with that Darkwing guy there” “Sita!” Karnage said, being caught off guard by the young Khan’s appearance, quickly doing what he could to make himself look as presentable as he could “You know her?” Negaduck asked raising an eyebrow “Yes,” Karnage said, helping Sita down from the submarine “She saw the map,” Dumptruck said “At least they managed to do something useful,” Karnage said snapping his fingers and Ratchet came in with an arm full of as many maps as he could carry After Ratchet had set them down on the floor Sita looked over each of the maps until she found one that had the island the map was depicted on it. “This one,” Sita said pointing to the island “it’s on this island off of the coast of the Golden Sun” “Do you remember the details of the map?” Liquidator asked “Of course, she does” Karnage said “Dumptruck, find something to draw that island on so Sita can make the map” “Yes, Captain” Dumptruck sighed, doing as he was told, managing to draw up a pretty decent outline of the island on an unused roll of paper that was mixed in with the maps “here” he handed the paper and pen to the panther “Thank you,” Sita said while everyone gathered around her as she added details to the map until it was a near-perfect replica Negaduck grumbled something to himself as he snatched the map away from the panter. "Now, let us be getting you some more practical clothing," Karnage said motioning for Sita to follow him "come, come" “Aren’t you going to lock her up?” Quackerjack asked as the panter and red wolf left the hanger “Nah,” Mad Dog said “she’s like Houdini, gets outta anything we try and lock ‘er in; plus” he lowered his voice and leaned closer to the crazed toymaker “the Cap’in's got a crush on her” “Oh,” Quackerjack said wondering if he should start scheming like he did for Bushroot and Liquidator “I’m surprised you decided to team up with anyone,” Sita said once she and the pirate captain were away from everyone “We are needing the powers of the Fearsome Five to be getting past the booby traps surrounding the treasure” “What do they want in return?” Sita asked as Karnage opened a door for her “There is an object of great power that is supposedly hidden within the treasure that Negaduck is wanting” “So he gets the power and you get the treasure,” Sita said as the two turned down a hallway “what happens if they backstab you and take everything?” “Well, I will allow them to be having some of the treasure for their assistance, not much mind you, but I do have a plan in case something does go wrong” “How generous”

“Thanks again for keeping an eye on Gosalyn while we’re gone,” Launchpad said the next morning as he, Darkwing, Morgana, Baloo, Kit, Rebbecca, Molly, who was being held by her mother, Scrooge, Gosalyn, and triplets stood on the docks of Higher for Hire and Wildcat was making sure that the Sea Duck was in top running order. “It’s no problem,” Scrooge said hooking the curve of his cane into the back of Dewey's shirt as he attempted to sneak onto the plane “Oh come on!” Dewey exclaimed angrily “how’d you know what I was gonna do?” “Because, third one” Scrooge said, earning a glare from his nephew for using that nickname “I know you well enough by now to know what you’re thinkin'” “But how come we can’t go?” Dewey asked “we go on adventures all the time” “I’ve heard a fair bit about the villains that attacked last night and they are not the type of people you want to be messing with, especially when it comes to their leader” “He’s right, Dewey” Launchpad said getting down on one knee to place a hand on Dewey's shoulder “Negaduck is one dangerous guy and definitely doesn’t hesitate when it comes to hurting people” “Fine” Dewey groaned, sulking back to where his brothers were standing, who did their best to comfort him “She’s all fixed up good as new” Wild Cat said popping out of the plane “Remind me again why we’re bringing civilians along with us, LP?” Darkwing asked his sidekick “Camouflage,” Baloo said as Wild Cat climbed down from the Sea Duck “if those guys see your plane anywhere near them they’ll be thinkin’ that you’re lookin’ for them, but if they see the Sea Duck Karnage’ll think that I just have a delivery to make and happen to be passing by, hopefully” “He’s right, DW” Launchpad said “besides we’ll need someone who knows how these air pirates work so we aren’t chargin’ in blind” “I do hope that poor girl will be ok until we get there” Morgana mused as everyone boarded the Sea Duck “Sita’s a tough girl,” Baloo said getting in the pilot’s seat “and knows how ta handle herself against air pirates especially when it comes to Karnage” he couldn’t help but chuckle a bit “she’ll have no problem at all handlin’ him” “You got the map?” Launchpad asked Kit as he settled into the co-pilot seat and Kit got into the third seat Wild Cat had installed for the navigator “Right here,” Kit said unfolding the copy of the map they’d been given “Alright,” Baloo said, starting up the Sea Duck “everyone get buckled in we’re about to take off” he started pulling away from the Higher for Hire docks “so what should we expect from your guys?” Darkwing gave the bears a rundown on the Fearsome Five and their abilities. “And Negaduck is the most vile” he stopped mid-sentence when he heard rattling coming from a nearby cabinet “what was that?” Pulling out his gas gun the masked mallard crept over to it, opening the doors causing Gosalyn to come tumbling out. “Gosalyn!” Darkwing exclaimed, “what are you doing here?” He picked her up so he could set her down in the bench seat he’d been sitting on “I told you to stay with Mr. McDuck” “Come on, Dad,” Gosalyn said strapping herself into the bench seat she was now sitting on “It’s too late ta turn back now,” Baloo said as they passed through the cliffs “they already have a night's length head start on us. We can’t risk loosin’ any more time” “You are not getting off of this plane, do you understand me, young lady!”
