* AdultFear: Darkwing refuses to let Gosalyn come to the Time Top because he doesn't want anything to happen to her. She then disappears for a few decades, only to reappear when a missile is about to hit her.



* AwesomeButImpractical: Gosalyn can barely move in the armor that Darkwarrior has prepared for her.



* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In the present, Darkwing doesn't let Gosalyn help on missions because she could get into danger. In the BadFuture, Darkwarrior makes Gosalyn his sidekick after locking up Launchpad and even outfits her with armor. Gosalyn is less than happy about this.



* SpannerInTheWorks: Gosalyn messes up Megavolt and Quackerjack's plans to go into the future. She also shows them a BadFuture where her adoptive father becomes a KnightTemplar.



* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Both Launchpad and Darkwarrior think Gosalyn never grew up due to eating too much junk food.
* TakingTheBullet: On seeing that a missile he's sent will hit Gosalyn, Darkwarrior appears and takes the blow, even letting the missile explode with him at the center of impact.



* TheTimeTravelersDilemma: Discussed. On realizing that he came to exist because Gosalyn came through a time machine, Darkwarrior locks her up for suggesting she go back and erase the BadFuture, thus erasing him. Gosalyn doesn't hesitate on getting the opportunity, however.
* VictoryIsBoring: Darkwarrior has gotten rid of all the villains. This means he has no real challenge while his Crime Bots do the hard work for him. He's disappointed to hear that the Bots have already arrested Megavolt and Quackerjack.



* WouldHurtAChild: Darkwarrior Duck has no problem throwing Gosalyn in jail and threatening her with a missile loaded gun, although this is actually subverted as he couldn't bring himself to fire the gun, which led to his defeat during this distraction.

The Time Top arrives in the future, but before Megavolt and Quackerjack can go on their planned crime spree, a terrified man runs up and begs them for help, followed by a tank with Darkwing's face on it. Darkwing's voice booms from within, but he introduces himself as Darkwarrior Duck, and sentences the man to a year in prison for jaywalking. Terrified at the thought of what the new, KnightTemplar superhero might do to real criminals, Megavolt and Quackerjack try to escape back to the Time Top, but are arrested for parking it in a no parking zone and thrown in jail. Gosalyn heads to Darkwing's hideout, but finds it deserted except for Launchpad fixing a taxicab. He explains that after Gosalyn disappeared, Darkwing lost all sense of purpose until he saw a thief trying to steal a doll from a girl who looked like Gosalyn and had his crimefighting passion re-ignited... and turned up to full, as he re-invented himself as Darkwarrior Duck and began persecuting people for such crimes as eating junk food or not brushing their teeth after every meal.

* VillainsOutShopping: Aside from stealing electricity, there's no indication Megavolt and Quackerjack were up to anything illegal or evil this time; when they gush about going to the future, they don't talk about using TimeTravel to commit crimes but about all the cool inventions they can't wait to see.

Duck and began persecuting people for such crimes as eating junk food or not brushing their teeth after every meal.

Hoping to talk sense into him, Gosalyn successfully baits Darkwarrior Duck into pursuing her by defacing a statue of his; when he arrives, he is overjoyed to see her again, but has Launchpad thrown in prison for manipulating her into her act of vandalism. He decides to make her dream of fighting crime as his sidekick come true, but when he arrests a couple for violating the universal 8:00 curfew, she decides she has to go back in time to prevent Darkwing from becoming Darkwarrior and asks him to take her to the Time Top. However, Darkwarrior, outraged by this suggestion, throws Gosalyn in prison and decides to use the Time Top to go back in time to re-write history to be completely crime-free.

Gosalyn, Launchpad, Megavolt, and Quackerjack break out of prison and hurry back to the Time Top. Darkwarrior sees them approaching and points a missile gun at Gosalyn, saying he should have known she would turn out to be a villain... but she's still his little girl, and he can't bring himself to kill her. Launchpad knocks him out, and Gosalyn and the two supervillains escape back to the present in the Time Top. After they arrive, a familiar voice issues from the shadows, causing Megavolt and Quackerjack to faint in terror and Gosalyn to worry that the Time Top didn't work. But as the voice's owner steps out of the shadows, she sees it's Darkwing, back to normal, and she is so happy to see him that she doesn't even mind being grounded for a month for disobeying him.
