"So, I go over to Megavolt's warehouse. . . That's the last place where Tegwen -- the girl -- was supposedly staying. He wasn't home, so I decided to take my chance to go inside to rescue her. And who shows up? Darkwing Duck! And get this -- the costumed buffoon claimed he had been trailing Bushroot. Bushroot?! What would Bushroot be doing at Megavolt's hideout? They usually don't work together unless it's all five of them!" He realized his mother didn't know who 'all five of them' were, but she interrupted him before he had a chance to elaborate.

"Quiet, Fenton, he's about to knock on the television tube. That's my favorite part!"

"By the time he left me alone and I changed out of the Gizmosuit, Tegwen was gone. I guess she must have left with Bushroot! Since then, I caught her hanging out with this F.O.W.L. weapons expert. Someone who is near the top of both the S.H.U.S.H. and D.I.A.'s most wanted lists. Just below Dr. Slug, Negaduck, and Steelbeak!"

"Speaking of S.H.U.S.H. . . . Fenton, dear, shush! Dr. Hans Ramoray is about to transplant his own brain with his twin brother's to steal his wife!"

Deflated, Fenton shuffled back to his room, building a little static charge along the way. Sometimes, the sound of crashing dishes cheered him up more than talking to his beloved mother. But what would cheer him up even more than a one-sided conversation, Fenton realized, was to be Tegwen's white knight in shining armor. He wanted to swoop in and rescue her from the clutches of villainy. Possibly the jaws of death.

He had to find her, and quickly -- before she found herself in an even worse predicament.
