Chapter IX

My name is Dewey Duck, and I am a survivor. Our group is heading towards the big castle in the center of Cape Suzette. It seems as if it's the only place Rank 1 could possibly be. If he isn't there, I don't know what I would do. But all I know is that this is gonna end today. I will kill Rank 1, I will rescue Webby, and the world is going to go back to what it was supposed to be. If everything goes back to normal, I can finally have a normal life. I life that doesn't revolve around the fact that I'm almost immortal. This will all be over soon, and I'm gonna be there to watch everything go back to the way it was.

Dewey and his group were making their way up to the castle that Rank 1 was in. As they were about to reach the top, Dewey started getting faster. He wanted to see Webby as quick as possible. He hasn't spoken to her in over 6 months. He needed to see her. Meanwhile, Louie and Dagger were winning against the two assassins. They were throwing there projectiles at them with ease. The assassins were confused about why they were not winning. Then they were finally aware of what was really going on.

"We surrender!" The assassin's said in unison. Louie and Dagger were confused.

"Are you kidding me, we didn't even have a real fight yet." Louie said angrily as he faced the assassins. "I never even showed my full power yet, and I don't think there's gonna be a fight after this. So how bout you guys suck up the fact that we're better than you and lose already." The assassins were angered and tried to hit Louie. Their punches did not connect and Louie was untouched. They landed on the ground and hurt themselves. The assassins were confused. Dagger asked Louie to back away while he showed the full extent of his power. The assassin started to use their knives to cut Dagger, but they ended up cutting themselves.

"You see, it's possible to attack me, but its going to be really hard." Dagger said as Louie grew angry for him stealing the spotlight. "I took away all of your luck. When this happens, it shows me how much you guys rely on luck. And what do you know, you rely a lot on it." The assassins grew scared as Dagger started to smirk. "I call it, 'All Lucked Out'. Your luck is gone." The assassins were even more afraid when Dagger stabbed them in the back. Louie was even more upset as the assassins were killed.

"I wanted to show them my ultimate move." Louie said sadly as Dagger laughed.

"You only had your power for a few days and now you're saying you have an ultimate move?!" Dagger said laughing at Louie. Louie was angry until they saw Huey walk out of the RV. Huey looked in the distance and saw a black object in midair. It seemed as if the object was coming closer. Huey then started walking towards it as Louie tried to stop him.

"Hue, what ever that is, it's not something we want to go near." Louie said trying to pull his arm.

"Let go Louie!" Huey demanded as he struggled to pull his arm from Louie's grip. Huey then noticed that his injuries were healed. He didn't understand why.

"Is this the thing that's going to bring the world back to what it was?" Louie asked as Huey stared at the black object.

"I hope it is." Huey said as they all stared at the object.

Dewey made it to the top of the castle and saw Webby standing there in a wedding dress. She was standing next to a man in a mask what Dewey could only assume was Rank 1. Dewey then started to lunge at him until he was stopped in his tracks by an unknown force. Dewey was floating in the air and was approached by Rank 1.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Dewford Duck." Rank 1 said as Dewey tried to get free from the invisible force. "You're just in time for our vows." Dewey got angry as he realized what was going on. Dewey then tried his best to break out of the psychic prison he was currently in. "I think it's time for me to take off my mask." With that said, Rank 1 took off his mask and revealed himself as the spoiled rich kid that Dewey especially hated when he was growing up. It was Nathan, and he was incredibly powerful. Dewey was angered when he saw the face under the mask. Dewey tried even harder to break away as Nathan said his vows. "I, Nathan Duckington, also known as, Reality Shifter, vow to never let you leave my side, and to always make sure that you and your friends will never see each other again. I will always make your existence as miserable as the day your granny died. And that is a promise." Dewey was even more angry that he said that. Dark Dewey started talking to him.

"You gotta let me take over!" Dark Dewey said as Dewey refused. "If you don't let me, she will be miserable for the rest of her life. Are you sure you want that to happen? It's gonna be your fault. There will be nothing you can do to stop it. The only chance you have is if I handle this. Please, this is the only way to save Webby!" Dewey was surprised that Dark Dewey even remembered the names of his friends. Dewey then decided to allow him control.

"I'm only letting you do this until we get Webby back." Dewey said as Dark Dewey took over. Dark Dewey started to break out of the psychic prison and lunge towards Nathan. He then took his sword out and slashed Nathan's skull. Dark Dewey heard the sound of something breaking. It was the sound of Nathan's skull, nor was the sound of bones of any kind. It was the sound of metal breaking and falling to the ground. Dewey's sword broke, and everything went blank. Nathan has stabbed Dewey in the heart, and his eyes closed. Once Dewey opened his eyes, he was back it spot he was before. Everything was back to the way it was, except there was his broken sword on the ground. Dewey was confused as Dark Dewey started to speak.

"You gotta let me take over!" Dark Dewey said as Dewey's eyes widened.

"We already had this conversation, but why don't I remember?" Dewey asked himself as Nathan laughed maniacally. Webby was forced to watch what was happening to Dewey. She cried as she had the first 27 times that he died. Nathan then started to speak.

"Is your memory coming back to you?" Nathan asked as Dewey was confused. "I already told you this 12 times, I manipulated reality and created a never ending loop. You are reliving the same scenario over and over again. This time it looks like you brought out your sword. You can't cut through time, what makes you think you can cut through this?" Dewey was very afraid.

"I've been through this scenario 27 times?" Dewey asked himself as he saw his team walking up the stairs. Dewey was happy to see them, but he was still mad about his current situation. Dante then aimed his guns at Nathan.

"Are you sure you want to harm her?" Dante asked as he fired his weapon. Nathan smirked.

"No, but I want to hurt you." Nathan said cynically. He then dodged the shot, causing the air to hit Dante in the back. Dante was very confused.

"How did I get over here?" Dante asked himself as April tried to slash her way through Nathan. Nathan dodge every attack and they ended up doing recoil damage on her. Iris tried to help anyway she could by making portals, but she couldn't get a portal to Webby. Instead she got a portal to Dante and April, so she could support them in their fight. Henry watch unable to do anything. Dewey then started talking to Webby as his psychic prison held him up in midair.

"Hey Webs, I know this is a bad time!" Dewey started as the group continued to fight Nathan. "But I really like you, no I love you! I want you to be with me for the rest of my life. Please, give me an answer." Dewey then took the ring out of his pocket. Webby was surprised as Dewey started holding the ring out. "Due to me not being able to move my legs, I would like to do this without the kneeling. Webby Vanderquack, will you please never give up on our love?" Webby didn't know what to say. Dewey then used tried to pull the ring he was saving from out of his pocket, but it was no use. The psychic prison was too powerful. He didn't know what to do, and he soon fell unconscious. He didn't know why he was unconscious, all he knew was that someone was talking to him.

"Dewey Duck, never give up!" The mysterious voice said as Dewey was confused about who it was. "You are the world's only hope. You alone can defeat Lord Natas and save the planet from utter destruction." Dewey was confused as the mysterious person made himself known.

Huey was curious about touching the black floating object as Louie objected to it.

"Are you crazy, what if it kills you?!" Louie said as Huey looked at him. Huey then started laughing at a confused Louie.

"It seems that we switched roles, Louie." Huey said while he laughed. Iris's brother Aster soon appeared from out of nowhere. Huey and Louie were confused as he gave Louie a message.

"Green Gambit, these black orbs have been appearing everywhere." Aster said as they were both surprised. "And if you touch them, it reveals a prophecy that involves all of us. See for yourself!" Huey was curious and then held the orb. His eyes turned white and he couldn't control what was going on. He saw a bunch of images of Dewey, and death, and destruction, and a world on fire with 12 people protecting it. And when his eyes turned back to normal, Huey was worried. He wasn't worried about the images, he was worried about his brother.

"We gotta stop Dewey, before he does something he regrets!" Huey said worried about his brother.

Dewey was surprised by who the mysterious figure was. It was his Uncle Scrooge. He didn't believe he would ever see him again, but here he was, standing in front of him. Dewey hugged him as his Uncle Scrooge then started to speak.

"If you give up, you'll never save the world like you promised you would." Dewey started to cry a little as his Uncle gave him the hilt of a sword. Dewey grabbed onto it and looked at it. It was a sword that was vanta black. It looked like it wasn't even real. "This is the Dark Sword. Only the Chosen One is able to wield a blade this powerful. I want you to go out there, and show Rank 1 that the McDuck family is not to be trifled with." Dewey was ready to face Nathan until Scrooge stopped him. "Before you go, just let it be known, that none of it is your fault. This is the only way." Dewey was confused, but he didn't think anything of it. He was prepared to defeat Nathan.

He soon headed back to the same place he was, the psychic prison. Nathan looked over at Dewey and was confused by what he had in his right hand. Dewey's whole right side was vanta black as he lifted his sword up with ease. Everyone was surprised that Dewey could move as Dewey slashed through the time loop. Everyone was shocked and Nathan was the most shocked out of everyone there.

"How the hell did you cut through time?!" Nathan asked as Dewey made his way to Webby in less then a second.

"Dewey?" Webby asked hoping it was him instead of Dark Dewey. Dewey took the ring out his pocket.

"It's still me Webs." Dewey said in a warm hearted voice as Webby started crying happy tears. "This will all be over soon Webby, just hang in there." Webby was happy as Dewey faces Nathan. "I'll make your death as slow as I possibly can, you monster." Nathan then smirked.

"If you can hit me, maybe." Nathan said cynically as Dewey prepared for a real fight.
