Chapter 30: Enter Darkwing

Cecil, we're seeing a huge build-up of gangs and clones in Midnight City.

It's chaos in there as they fight for territory.

Ah, crap. Midnight City. Listen, I need you all to straighten things out. That place isn't the most peaceful of places on a good day.

And lately we've had a little issue with the new Darkwing - the original's sidekick who's taken his place. He's... started killing people.

What?!

That's a problem for another day. Go fix this... and just try to stay away from him for now.

What the hell are you doing here? You heroes decide to sully yourselves and come to my city?

Oh boy, here we go...

We're here to help you, Nightboy... Sorry, Darkwing.

These gangs and clones are going to overrun the city.

I can take care of it. I always have. Now get out of my city!

We're not leaving until we help you clean up this mess.

Then I guess I'll have to make you leave!

Darkwing! Enough! There's no point in fighting each other. These gangs and clones are the real problem.

Fine. But this is my city, so you follow my lead.

Darkwing, we appreciate you leading us. You know this city better than anyone.

But you have to stop all the killing. That isn't how it has to be.

Plus, it's a waste of time. There's too many of these jackasses to deliver "righteous vengence" on all of them.

Perhaps you have a point...

I'd prefer to focus on the morality of the killing, but whatever gets the killing to stop, I guess.

You can discuss ethics on your own time! Get those gangs under control!

We're making a dent! I think we have the gangs and clones running scared.

Yes, but the battle never truly ends.

Cecil! We've got a massive emergency! Magmanites are attempting to break Doc Seismic out of prison.

Dammit. Take a break from putting out that Midnight City fire and douse those Magmanites!

You're abandoning me?!

We'll be back! Doc Seismic cannot get loose.

I am a political prisoner! I will not be silenced!

I'm free! Now let's get out of here!!

Doc Seismic is loose! Don't let him get away!

We're on it, Cecil!

You're back. But too late, I'm afraid. The clones and gangs have decided it's better to work together and take the entire city for themselves.

Now we have an army to deal with.

At least you stopped that Doc Seismic...

Well... about that...

Hey! Hey! Get your damn hands off me!

Shit, they've taken Darkwing!

Yes! Now that the city's champion is ours, the city will fall to us in no time!

Really, they picked Kursk as their leader?

In the land of clones, the regular man is king, I guess?

It doesn't matter who's in charge. We need to save Darkwing!
