--------
"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.
