--------
"Let us go, Negaduck...please..." Chrystal whispered. Beside her sat a trembling little girl...Gosalyn.
They WERE afraid of him....he shook his head, closing his eyes momentarily and reopening them...why was he starting to turn soft all of a sudden? "I won't let you go...I can't let either of you go..." he said softly.
Chrystal blinked, surprised...then she noticed the injured shoulder. "You're hurt..." she reached a hand out, but he smacked it away with his free hand.
"Just let it go..." he muttered, trying to concentrate.

-----------

"He's got Gosy, too!" Bushroot declared, following after Darkwing, Liquidator and Tank right behind him. "What happened? I thought you finished him off?"

"Me finish him off? Yeah,right? But I need to know were they are so we can follow them." Then suddently Darkwings Purple Jet lands infront of home was it the normal launch pad it landed infront of Drake and the top opened it was the Turtle.
"C'mon if were gonna go get that guy, we need to take off NOW!"

Negaduck's jet had landed ontop of a different building...this one rested upon a secluded hill top. "Come on...no one will bother us here..." he murmured as he helped them out.
Chrystal stared at him. Was he actually turning...soft?? She watched as he opened the door and let Gosalyn go ahead of him. "Why are you doing this?" she asked, stepping behind him.
"..." Negaduck refused to answer her, his gaze never leaving the floor.
"Negs..."
"STOP IT!" the sudden change in his voice made her jump. "I'm sorry...I just need to think..."


----
Bushroot, Liquidator and Tank jumped in; Quackerjack and Megavolt were already inside.

They go fly the skys trying to find Chrystal and Negaduck

Negaduck still stood in the doorway, not even knowing that Chrytal was standing beside him...

What's happening to me? Why did I act like that...I almost let my true feelings out...no...I DON'T want Chrystal and Gosalyn to know how I really feel...

He shakes his head. "Negs...please, let me help you..." Chrystal's voice trailed off as she watched the blood run down his arm, staining his arm sleeve.
He stared at her. She honestly wanted to help him? "No...I wouldn't want you to stain your dress," he muttered, looking away.

"Dammit, Negaduck! Stop being so damn stubborn!!"

-------------

"Where could they have gone...?" Megavolt asked himself.
Quackerjack shrugged. "I dunno..."
"The Liquidator proposes we check the hill tops! He might have disappeared there!"
"Hey, that's not such a bad idea!" Bushroot declared, a wide smile on his face. Tank stayed silent as he watched the city below them.

~The Darkwing Jet~

Raphael at the stern, the well. Blips on the radar screen screen appear for duck figures in red. Its a heat-sensor scanner. And they can see two of them talking one of them outlines the one thats talking looks like Chrystal and the other one looks like NegaDuck. Darkwing is chomping at the bit as he paces back and forth inside of his Jet. He's morely worried about Chrystal and what NegaDuck might do to her. But apart of him thought she was safe with Nega Duck.

"Safe with Nega Duck?" Darkwing mutterd to himself.
" I think I found them, Dudes." Raphael shouted as they hoved over a hill top.

"Would you stop yelling at me?!" Negaduck shouted back.
"Not until you let me help you!" Chrystal snapped, crossing her arms.
Negaduck's lower beak twitched a little and he sneered at her. "Fine...Do as you want. Just don't come cryin' to me when you have bloodstains on your dress."
Chrystal shook her head, pulled him inside the house and closed the door behind them. She made him sit on the sofa while she went to get the first aide kit; she came back a minute later and started tending to his wound.

--
"What happened? Why did she do that?" Quackerjack cried out, looking down at the house on the hilltop.
"Do what?" Megavolt asked, a bit confused.
"She practically dragged Negaduck inside the house! There's something wrong with this picture..." he muttered, crossing his arms.

"Somethings not right, I agree Mega Volt you goons stay up here and I'll go down there and check things out. I maybe big green and seem like a dofus at sometimes but I'm trained in Ninjitsu and I could slip in there undected. So wudda ya say boys?" Raphael said with a smile as he let go off the Jet's wheel.
" I don't know about The Mr.Turtle I mean NegaDuck's Dangerous if anyone should go it should be me!" Drake protested
"Well, Drake you need to rest.!" Raphael said
"But.. This is my Mission!! I don't see how I have to stand here and watch the TURTLE be the freakin' Hero!" Drake snapped back.
"Well this turtle could beat your Butt!" Raphael said as he slide his chest up next to Drake.
"No, I could take you, you over grown reptile!" Drake snapped back.
"Bring IT!" Raphael said as he took it out his Left sai and put it in his right hand and did the same with his right sai in his left hand.

Chrystal felt Negaduck flinch as she placed rubbing alcohol on his wound and gripped his wrist, trying not to let him jerk away from her as she finished cleaning the wound. She then started wrapping bandages around his wounded shoulder. "There...that should hold it..."
"...Thanks..." He still refused to look at her.
"You're welcome," Chrystal couldn't help but smile.
Half up the stairs, Gosalyn watched the two, quietly.

--------

"Hey, hey, hey! Both of you, calm down!" Bushroot shouted.
"If the both of you don't calm down, we'll go in there and you two will stay in the jet!" Megavolt declared, warningly.

"This is why I don't work with Turtles!" Drake declared. " I've got an idea I'll sneak around the back way and climb up the side of the building to go get gosalyn and than Raph, he will walk in the front door and Distract t hem. And then I'll escape with Gosalyn and than after that is said and done. I'll go in and rescue Chrystal from Negaduck. I have this strange feeling, a very strange feeling. That the Negaduck we encounterd isn't well that bad anymore."
Drake shakes his head.
" It sounds insane, Negaduck, turned good?"
Drake shakes his head.
The bottom of the jet opened and two brownish ropes we're lowerd onto the hill as The Turtle and Drake slide down both of them. Drake climbed up the side of the head and snuck into Gosalyn's bed and started looking for her.

He saw her at the top of the stairs he quietly sneaked up behind of her and put his hand over her mouth there we're muffled screams low ones as he took her back into her bed room. Drake put one finger up to his beak-lips making a shhhhh.. sound.

"Its me, daddy. I'm taking you with me." Drake said smiling " That is if you want to go."
-------

Raphael walks into Negaducks house and yells.
"NEEEEGGGGGGGGGGAAa-DDDDUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!" At the top of his lungs

he looks up the staircase and dosen't see Gosalyn and then he sees apart of DW's black cape it vanishes.

Gosalyn's eyes widened and she hugged Drake tightly. "Daddy, I missed you!" She raised her green eyes to meet his eyes and smiled brightly. "Of course I wanna go home with you, Dad...what about mommy?"



Negaduck's head snapped up upon hearing his name being shouted. "What?!" he snapped. He stood up from the couch and stood in front of Chrystal, almost as though he were hiding her.

"We'll come back for Mommy. " Drake said as he took Gosy in his arms and jumped out the window with her. And the rope was s till lowerd and he climbed up it with her in his arms. He walked over to Mega Volt and puts her in his lap.

"We've goto find some where safe to hide Gosalyn."
Drake then retracted the ropes . And the bottom of the jet it closed up.
And then a huge whoosh sound as the Jet flys off.

--------------
"You've got the girl,Negs. I can see her, I'm not gonna hurt you. I need to know if the girls okay." Raph stated than he heard a huge gust of air. Drake's jet flys bye. Raph walked over to the window and sticks his head out of it.
"Stubborn MALLARD!"
Raph than closes the window angrly.

"Stupid, Drake." Raph mutterd to himself and than he looked at Negaduck.

Bushroot looked at Drake as Megavolt held Gosalyn. "Why not take her to your hideout?" he suggested.
"Why didn't you bring Chrystal with you?" Quackerjack asked, pulling at the bells on his hat. "She's with your evil half for pete's sake!"


"She's fine," Negaduck muttered, nodding to Chrystal to go wash the blood from her hands. Chrystal moved fast, walking into the kitchen and running water could be heard as she scrubbed her hands.
Drake left without me? she asked herself silently and shook her head, trying not to think the worst.

~Drake's Hideout~
They are now at there hideout the Darkwing Jet it touches down infront of the building. The top of the jet it opened up with a mighty swosh and he got out of the jet and he felt really bad for leaving Chrystal with his evil half. He shooks his head he didn't want to think about what might be happening in that house. He was crying he missed her. He didn't know why and he didn't want to show the gang his real inner feelings about Chrystal but they already knew he turned back to QJ and MV.

"I'm sorry, but I'll get her back I just need all of you stay here and watch Gosy,okay?"

-------

Raphael walked into the kitchen and stood beside of Chrystal.
"You'll need this."
Raphael than hands Chrystal some more soap.
"Drake, left. But he'll be back for you. I'm most cerain he will, by the way he was yammering about you on the way here. He loves you very much, he came for Gosy first. He thought if he made an dramatic entrance the Mr. Black and Yellow in there might harm you. "
Raphael kisses Chrystal on the cheek
"Trust me, I bet hes coming as we speak."

"All right..." Bushroot nodded, as well as the others.
Tank was already keeping Gosalyn busy with a game of 'Go Fish'. As the Friendly Four and Drake talked, Tank started up his own conversation with Gosalyn. "So...what do you think the NormalVerse is like?" he asked. "Got any three's?"
"Go fish..." Gosalyn replied as she shrugged her shoulders. "I haven't experienced all of the Normalverse...remember, I only visited my dad...but I have a feeling it isn't like this world at all."

_____

Chrystal finally smiled as she finished scrubbing her hands. "Thanks, Raphael. It means a lot to me to hear that..."

This better not come back to bite me in the butt.

Raphael thought to himself as he watched The Chick scrub her hands. He shook his head. "Bloods always hard to get out. Your not a doctor, you shouldn't of patched him up. Hes the bad guy! But you did out of the kidness of your heart, didn't you? I've never had a heart like that." Raphael shrugged and walked back out into the living room and sat down acrossed from Negaduck he stared straight at the duck. " Duck, I want some answers, what is this Nega Verse that I'm stuck in? I was walking down the street and poof Raphael is in The Nega Verse. The Alternate St.Carnard. I've heard about your gang The Fearsome Five, can you give me those answers or do I have to beat them out of you?"

Raphael than crosses his arms looking at Negaduck... Mean While

Drake walked back into the jet and he took off flying through the air, flying to Neg's house, flying to get Chrystal "I'm coming for you!" Drake mutterd to himself as he navigated the skies. "I love you!" He said silently to himself.

Chrystal just stared at the place where Raphael had been standing. I...did do it out of kindness, didn't I? It's not like Negaduck forced me to...I WANTED to help him.... her thoughts trailed off and she blinked, returning to reality and continued to scrub. As soon as she thought it was good enough, she stopped and picked up a towle to dry her hands off...they had turned a little bit red from scrubbing hard, but it would go away soon enough...


"Ha! Those knobs? They can't do anything I tell them right! I gotta give credit to Sparky, though...he did open the portal back to my world..." Negaduck sneered. "This IS my world, turtle...my own playground...that goody-two shoes duck has his own playground, why can't I?" he muttered, crossing his arms.
He uncrossed them when Chrystal entered the room. "Did the blood come off?" he asked in a gentle voice.
"Yeah..."

"Your own playground? Sweet. But why take her?"
Raphael looks over at Chrystal standing closer to Negaduck and than spoke in a low tone-voice.
"Something happened to you but I can't put my finger on it after Drak-- Uhh Darkwing Shot you. You've changed you let the chick drag you into the house to patch you up. Whats with that? Your Darkwings darker half. I've seen the destructive force of you. This ain't loke you, dude. "
Speaks in a lower tone almost a whisper and looks Negs in the eyes.
"You love her don't you? And the kid, you really love both of them. But you think you can't love because your evil, look at us, Duck. In a way we're the same. I'm just helping that duck so I can get back to New York City get back to my own dimension. I'm not saying I misss it over grown turtles walking around, yeah. So is there anyway you can open that portal thingy again?"

His eyes were locked on Chrystal as she made her way over to the window. "Love? Love is for the weak," he muttered. He grumbled a little under his breath, not at all happy that this turtle found out his secret.
"There's a portal room in the back of the Power Plant..." he could've kicked himself for that. Why did I do that? he asked himself, glancing over at Chrystal who had her back turned on them.

Drake... she thought, her gaze turned to the sky.

Song Silently Sung In The Background : And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait!
I hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Someone told me love would all save us
But how could that be?
Look what love gave us
A world full of killing and blood-spilling
that world never came


Darkwing flys through the night it seems endless. The wind bracing against Darkwings windsheilf he finds himself back where he had began he was back at Neg's hideout. Darkwing lowerd the jet down and walked around to the house and than he looked in the window and he saw Chrystal in the window and mutterd " I love you" to her.

Chrystal's eyes widened and a huge smile crossed her face as soon as she saw him. "Darkwing!" Without a second thought, she made a mad dash out of the house and rushed to hug him tightly. "Drake..." she whispered, kissing him. "I knew you'd come back..."

She turned back to look back at the house. "Is Gosalyn...safe?" she seemed to freeze in her spot when she saw Negaduck watching them...was that hurt she saw in his eyes?

Drake smiled and took Chrystals hands.
"You know I would of never left you behind if... I had to. Gosalyns fine, shes playing Go Fish with The Tankster I love you!"
Drake looks at Negs than back at Chrystal.
"Do you want to go or stay with him?" Drake motions to Negaduck

Chrystal pulled her gaze away from Negaduck and looked back at Drake. "Drake...I love you. I wanna go with you," she whispered, trying to keep her gaze on his.

Negaduck turned away from the window and walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge door and stared inside. He gripped the fridge door handle and slammed it shut, growling to himself and leaned against the wall. I lost her...

"Lets Go Home!"
Darkwing took Chrystal and had her board the jet and they flew back to the Friendly Four's hideout.

Bushroot glanced up when he heard the sound of a jet in the distance. "Hey! I think I hear them!" He poked his head out of the doorway and sure enough, he could see the purple jet of their hero.
"Look, Gosy! He told you he'd bring your mother back and he did!" Megavolt smiled, patting the excited little girl on her head.
As soon as the jet landed, Gosalyn rushed out from behind Tank and Quackerjack and stood just in front of the jet. "Mom! Dad!"
A smile appeared across Chrystal's face as she looked over at Drake.

" I love you chrystal!"
Drake wraps his arms around Chrystal and presses his beak to hers and kisses her passiontely.
" I'm never losing you, I won't lose you to Nega Duck, wanna go back to Normal Verse?" Drake asked Chrystal and Neg Gosy

Chrystal couldn't help but smile at Drake. "Yes, daddy!!' Gosalyn declared, a huge smile on her face, her green eyes lit up with happiness...true happiness. She looked back at the others. "They can come with us, can't they?" she asked, innocently.

"What do you think, mommy? Can they come with us? Pwease?" Drake asked kind of childish with a big grin on his face. "The Turtles not here, looked like he was having fun with Negaduck, should we bring him back to our dimension or leave him here with Negs? He could probably find his way home. "
Drake said he took one hand and messed up Gosalyns hair.

--

Raphael walked into Negaduck's kitchen.
"Beating your self up over this stuff ain't gonna help you any. You just got to let go, man. She ain't the only girl in the world, but knowing of your past Negaduck. You probably did something to her, something very bad. She once mutterd something to the effect of you killing her family or something like that."

Chrystal couldn't help but laugh. "Of course they can come with us!" she giggled as she watched the others faces light up with smiles.
She then thought back to the turtle. "I'm sure Negaduck has probably already told him how to get back..." she shrugged. "Come on, let's go!"
"Hey, DW! Wait for me!" Launchpad called out, racing to catch up with them.
"Where've you been?" Chrystal asked.
"I was a bit caught up with hiding from my Nega-self..." he smiled sheepishly.


Negaduck muttered under his breath. The turtle hadn't left, yet? "That was a long time ago. I never harmed her once..." his voice trailed off, his eyes closed.

"Fine, whatever, dude."
Raphael than walked out of Nega's house and stood on the hill and he looked down.
-----------
Darkwing and the others they board the plane and then they go back to the Power Plant.

"You think much has changed in St. Canard since we left?" Chrystal asked Drake as they entered the power plant.
"You sure it's...safer there?" Tank asked.
"Of course it is! And you guys can stay at our place...we've got 3 extra guest rooms...Tank and Gosalyn can share one room...and you guys will havta decide on the rest..." Launchpad shrugged as they made their way to the back of the power plant.

" Of Course its safer."
They walk into the backroom and see the portal
"Ladies first!"
Drake said helping Chrystal and Gosy over to the portal

Chrystal smirked a bit at Drake. "You may be stubborn at times, but I still love you."
Gosalyn turned to Drake as soon as Chrystal went through the portal. "Daddy, are you gonna ask her to marry you when we get home?" she asked with pure innocence.
Launchpad couldn't help but chuckle at this.

"Yes, I am, Gosalyn Know lets go home!"

--The Muddlefoots yard---

Gosalyn and Honker were sitting on the steps of the house when....*Thud!* they looked up to see Chrystal. "Oh, great, it's her..." Gosalyn muttered, crossing her arms.
"You mean your dad's girlfriend?" Honker asked, straightening his glasses.
Gosalyn remained silent as her dad appeared next to Chrystal...along with some other guests. "DAD!!!" Gosalyn cried out and rushed to hug him.

She then lifted her head to see Liquidator, Bushroot, Megavolt, Quackerjack...Tank...and...she stared hard at the little girl who resembled her. "Hi, I'm Gosalyn!" NegaGosalyn smiled brightly, holding out her hand.
Gosalyn didn't move. "No, I'm Gosalyn..." she then raised her eyes to the Friendly Four. "And what are you guys doing here? You're the bad guys!"
She paused. "What's going on here?" she asked, eyeing Tank, who appeared as confused as she did. She could have sworn she just saw him in the house...

"Honey, Normal Gosy, ummm.. These are the good guys from The Nega Verse The Friendly Four they have came here to defeat there counter parts in this dimension and they will be your baby sitters from know on. Okay, my first daughter will be known as bad gossy, and nega gossy, will be good gossy or Cherry. Yes, we must go fight!! Oh yeah, Tank this is Honker, the good one. The one that LOVES, Bad Gosalyn! My lovely daughter's best friend, and Honker this is Tank not your brother bully tank, but nice tank, I know this is alot to take in at once. "

Drake hands the friendly four there uniforms
"These are the good guys! I tell YOU!"

Chrystal noticed the glare in normal Gosalyn's eyes and placed a hand on Drake's shoulder. "Um...Drake? Why don't we let Gosalyn keep her name...and we can call her(she pointed at NegaGosalyn) Faith?" she suggested. She looked back at Gosalyn. "How does that sound?"
"As long as I get to keep my name, I don't care," Gosalyn muttered, crossing her arms.
"What do you think? Do you like your new name, sweetie?" Chrystal asked NegaGosalyn.
"I love it, Mommy!" she smiled brightly at her.
"Mommy?!" Gosalyn looked shocked upon hearing this. She looked back at Drake, anger in her eyes and ran into the house, up to her room and slammed the door.

"Oh dear!"
Drake exclaimed as he walked up the stars calmly walking after Gos he can't belive this is happening. I mean its a good thing he knows that hes back in the real st.carnard and with his real daughter. It was kinda getting tiresome with Faith. Shes sweet and all but he kind missed his real baby girl. He missed his daughter Gosalyn. He steps up a few more steps and walks down the hallway. His room was on the left and Gos's was on the right it had a big red hand written poster that read "Gosalyn's Room Stay OUT!" Drake walked over to it and jiggled the golden knob to her door it wouldn't budge he tried turning it. It didn't open the little brat locked the door on him. Drake started knocking on her door.

"Gosalyn?" Drake asked
"Go Away, Daddy!" Gos yelled
"But I want to talk to you." Drake said
"Go AWAY!" Gos yelled as loud as she could. So loud that the Muddlefoots and Chrystal downstairs could hear.

"I'm gonna stay outside this door until you let me IN!" Drake told Gosalyn.
"Fine!" Gosalyn said. You could hear her inside of her room crying. Gosalyn got up off of her bed and whiped her tears away she didn't wanna show her dad she was crying. She walked over to the door and unlocked it. And opened the door to see her f ather standing there.

Drake walked into Gosalyn's room and sat down beside of her on her bed.
"Why did you run up here?" Drake asked
"Nevermind,Daddy."
"No, Tell me." Drake insisted as he put his arm around Gosalyn.
"Its nothing." Gosalyn said in a low tone looking down at the floor.
"Whats wrong?" Drake asked
"Nothing... It just, her. Your going to marry her, and your going to forget all about ME! Your going to marry her, and your gonna be spending every moment with her, and I'll be left alone, again. Sure I'll have The Muddlefoots and Honker, but I won't have my father. I'd probably be sent back to the adoption agency, because... You wouldn't love me anymore!"

Drake look surprised at Gosalyn

"What gave you that idea?" Drake asked her daughter
"Its just the way it works, grown ups fall in love and they forget about there children.. Its happend to me before." Gosalyn told Drake. " I know how I've messed you life up, Daddy. I shouldn't have been with this family anways, I just messed everything up!"
"Gosalyn, don't say that you make my life complete, your a little too spirited, but you make it complete, Baby Blue." Drake said
"Than why do you have to marry her?" Gos asked
"Because I love her." Drake answerd
"And you Don't LOVE ME!" Gos yelled.
"Well, I do. If you don't want me to marry her, I'll understand. I love her, but I love you alot more, baby blue." Drake said as he closed his eyes and two tears rolled down his cheek as he hugged Gosalyn.

Gosalyn looked at her father with much interest she never knew the concept of love. She kinda loved Honker but they we're bestfriends. Could this girl and daddy be bestfriends she sensed that the two of them we're really close. He had brought alot of good people into her life maybe this one was good too.

"You can marry her,daddy... If you do me one thing." Gosalyn said
"Whats that?" Drake asked
"Never stop loving me,daddy.. I need you!" Gosayln said as she hugged her father tightly.
" I'll always be here.. I love you Gosy!" Drake said
" I love you too, daddy!" Gosalyn in tears sobbing into Drake's shirt.

Chrystal looked to the stairs when she heard Gosalyn yelling. Things were quiet after that. "Wonder if they're okay?" Quackerjack asked, softly.
Poor Gosalyn...I don't know what could have caused that outburst, but I hope I can make it up to her one of these days.. Chrystal thought as she watched Honker and Tank make conversation.

"Really? You mean my other half has beaten you up?" Tank asked, surprised. Honker nodded, straightening his glasses. "And neither of your parents tried to do anything about it?" Honker nodded again.
"My mom would be in the kitchen cooking at the time and when I tell dad, he just said Tank was just playing around with me..."
"It's the complete opposite back in the Negaverse..."

Chrystal shook her head and began looking through a book she'd borrowed from Morgana. "Mommy? You okay?" Faith asked, sitting next to her on the sofa.
"Yeah, I'm fine, honey," Chrystal replied with a smile, patting the sweet child on her back. "Why don't you go play with Honker and Tank?"
"Kay!"
With a sigh, Chrystal sat back on the sofa and continued on with her reading.

"Goto sleep." Drake told Gosalyn
"Why?" Gosalyn asked
"Because you look tired." Drake answerd
"I'm not Ti.." Gosalyn yawns "Ired.. Today."
Drake smiled "Yes you are!"
Gosalyn layed down on her bead and Drake coverd her up and kissed her on her forhead and smiled " Sweet dreams, Baby Blue."
And than Drake shut the door silently and wet back down starts walked over to the couch and sat down next to Chrystal and kissed her
