[Enter Jim Starling, Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck Alister Boorswan, Launchpad McQuack, Dewey Duck, and Scrooge McDuck]

Jim Starling: No cuts!

The filming set of McDuck Studios engulfed in flames, as a furious Jim Starling aimed the electric blaster at Alister Boorswan, whose face was struck with fear.

Jim Starling: Jim Starling NEVER cuts! I'll film this finale if it kills me! [Aims the blaster at Alister] And EVERYONE in this room!

Launchpad McQuack: [blocks Jim's target]

An ominous figure leaped above the ceiling steel bars, its cape fluttering with grace.

Darkwing Duck: [enters] I am the terror that flaps in the night.

Jim Starling: [aside] Great. That must be the buffoon that dares to replace me.

Darkwing Duck: I am the overstuffed burrito that spills onto the lap of crime!

Jim Starling: [aside] I can make a better phrase than that!

Darkwing Duck: [reveals himself in a puff of purple smoke] I, am DARKWING DUCK!

Jim Starling: [aside] Yep, I knew it. Wait a minute-!

Jim Starling: No, I AM!!! [blasts at his imposter]

Darkwing Duck lands on the ground and ducks behind a crate where Launchpad is taking cover from the bolts of the blaster.

Jim Starling: [aside] Come out you coward! A true hero doesn't run away from a fight! [The blaster shuts down by itself.] You've got to be kidding me! [proceeds to punch the sides of his weapon]

Darkwing Duck: [hops onto a crate] Haha! I don't want to brag, but I'm incredibly strong and resilient.

Jim Starling, plugging a cord onto the weapon: [aside]This imposter is standing on top of a crate of explosives. If I blow it up, I'll eventually kill this Darkwing Duck replacement for good. [to Darkwing Duck, no longer aside] Oh really? [makes a blast]

KABOOM!

Launchpad McQuack: Darkwing!

Dewey: No!

Jim Starling: AHHAHAHAHAHAHA-what?

Darkwing Duck, covered in ashes: [kneels up from the floor] Get. Back. Up.

Jim Starling: [aside] A hanging piano! Good for what they call, comedic relief. [proceeds with a second blast from the weapon]

CRASH!

Launchpad McQuack: Darkwiiiing!!

Dewey: Noooooo!!

Jim Starling, formerly smiling in victory: [aside] You've got to be kidding with me. Again?! That's it!
