The Other Side of the Known Universe

So Many Questions, So Little Answers

(Possiverse)

Grumbling under his breath, Negaduck stepped into his bakery cover. He stalked to the back room where he kept the portal. He glared at it, thinking to himself. Already two kids had found it, and third one unbeknownst to him. He tweaked his beak, thinking of what to do. One more discovery, and the police might come sniffing around.

After coming up with an idea, he walked over to it. He pressed a button on a handheld remote, turning off the cake hologram. There stood the glowing portal. A blue gem powered the whole thing. Removing the gem, he turned off the portal. He couldn't let anyone else discover it. Then he left.

After he had relocated his portal, he pulled out his phone. His spy hadn't texted him all day. He quickly tapped her a message.

What are you doing now?

...

Drake sat across the table from NegaGosalyn. She had her hands tucked into her lap and was a bit intimidated by him. He glared at her. "Alright! What's your evil plan!" he demanded. NegaGosalyn scooted her chair back. "Why did you try to kill me?" he asked.

"Negaduck made me!" she said. Drake raised an eyebrow. Launchpad and Honker exchanged a look. They were leaning against the wall near the table. "Who is this Negaduck we keep hearing about?" he questioned. NegaGosalyn bit her beak. She was really bad under pressure.

"You might know him better as Jim Starling," she said.

Launchpad and Drake gasped. "But- But he's dead!" Launchpad exclaimed. NegaGosalyn shook her head. "No, he's alive," she began. "When you guys... blew him up, he didn't actually die. He got away in the sewers and assumed the identity..." She paused for effect, which is something she wouldn't have done, but Negaduck had told her if she ever did give away his identity, she had to do it with flair.

"Negaduck!" she exclaimed.

Drake put a finger to his chin, taking the news. Launchpad jumped up. "That takes a huge load off my chest! I no longer have to live with the guilt of killing someone!" he said with relief. Drake shot him a look. Then he turned back to NegaGosalyn. "Well, that would explain why he wants me dead," he said, rolling his eyes.

"So why did he send you? You're just a little girl?" Launchpad asked. "Because she's a little girl," Drake explained. "We would never suspect it. And it would be easy for her to get in here because she looks exactly like Gosalyn."

NegaGosalyn nodded. Honker spoke up now. "You don't seem like the kind of person who would just work for a villain," he said. Drake glared at him. "What do you mean! She's a bad guy bent on my demise!" Drake argued. NegaGosalyn jumped up. "That is not true! I didn't even want to get wrapped up in Negaduck's plan!" she debated.

Drake crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "Then why did you do it?" he questioned. "Because he blackmailed me!" she shouted. "He kidnapped, and told me I could never go back home until you were dead!" she said.

Drake was taken back at her sudden outburst. "I thought you said you hated your home," Honker said. NegaGosalyn put her hands on her hips. "But it's still my home. When you brought me here, I had every intention of telling you. I mean, if anyone could help me, it would be the great Darkwing Duck!" she said. "You're trying to butter me up, but it won't work!" Drake argued.

NegaGosalyn threw her hands up defensively. "No! I'm not! I really was going to tell you! But then, I don't know, you guys were just so nice to me and treated me like I actually mattered, and I- I didn't want to go back," she confessed.

Drake still wasn't buying it. "That's a nice sob story, but what's Negaduck's plan?" he asked. NegaGosalyn sighed, accepting that he would never believe her.

Then there was a ding from NegaGosalyn's phone. Drake pulled it from his pocket. "Speaking of Negaduck," he said, glancing down at a text. NegaGosalyn sat shyly. Drake looked back at her. "He wants to know what you're doing right now," he said. "What will you tell him?" she wondered.

"How about this? 'Everything's going according to plan. No need to worry,'" he said while texting. "That's a good idea D.W., that way Negaduck will talk to you like he's talking to NegaGosalyn. Then you can figure out his plan," Launchpad commented. Drake pushed the send button. "That's the idea," he said.

Another bell rang from the phone. Drake smirked. "And it's already working. He wants you to know that he relocated his Negaverse portal," he said to everyone in the room.

Standing up from his chair, Drake started to walk in circles. "Now we have to get back my daughter," he said to himself. "What do we actually know about the Negaverse?" Honker questioned. Drake jumped up with an idea. "I think I've got a friend who can help us. Information about the Negaverse is right up her alley," he proposed. "Who?" his friends asked in unison.

Drake smirked and walked out of the door. "Come on," he called. The others followed him.

"Do you really think this is going to work?" NegaDewey asked. Dewey shrugged. "It's worth a shot," he said. The other kids gathered around him, waiting. Dewey pulled up Huey's contact on his phone. Then he pressed call. He bit his lip eagerly. "Come on, Hue, pick up," he said.

A click sound came as the phone was answered. "Oh my gosh! Dewey! Where have you been!" Huey exclaimed on the other end. NegaWebby smiled. "Huh, I guess you can call between dimensions."
