GW: Here's the next chapter of the story, which is coming to an end. Enjoy!

Collapse

Raimundo was in his hawk form as he flew towards the battleships, ready to fight them.

Back at the shop, the Darths were trying to get in as Renee held the door shut. She then turned the knob to green and instantly, they were transported to the Wastes again.

Walking outside, Renee saw that it was raining heavily as she walked to the edge and saw the destruction going on.

"That's where we were," Renee said. She then saw a battleship and said, "Rai's in trouble."

Then the ship burst into flames as Renee gasped when she saw Raimundo in a horrifying demon form as the ship went down, thanks to him destroying it.

"Rai, look out!" she cried in vain as the plane went down.

Yakumo, Katrina, Deni, and Willow appeared as Kat said, "Renee, what's happening?"

"Turniphead!" Willow said happily as the scarecrow bounced along.

Renee then ran inside as she said, "I have an idea."

"That's crazy!" Nanny, Igor, Harima, Renee's friends, and the apprentices shouted as Duckula said, "They're right. I can't move the portals without Rai's help!"

Renee tied a cloak around Wuya and said, "You have to try. If we don't break away, Rai will keep protecting the shop."

"I liked him more as a coward," Deni mumbled as Renee helped Wuya up and said to her, "Okay, we're leaving now."

"Are we going for a stroll?" Wuya asked weakly.

Duckula objected, "It'll make us too vulnerable!"

Renee retorted back, "We already are1 And if we don't move now, Raimundo will be in trouble."

"Renee!" Linus said as Harima informed, "They're about to bomb the shop!"

"We got to move now, dearies," Nanny said as she and Igor joined the gang as Acedia yelped nervously.

"Yori and Riko, help Wuya get outside," Renee ordered as the siblings nodded. "Wait, Nanny, you go out first," Duckula told the hen, who nodded.

"Why's that?" Yakumo asked when suddenly, Nanny crashed through the door.

Everyone looked stunned as Igor said dully, "That's' why." When Nanny was out, everyone else followed out.

Renee then grabbed a shovel and picked a nervous Duckula up in it. "Hey, what are you doing!? This is nuts. Crazy lady with a shovel!"

As Renee was about to exit, Duckula warned, "If I leave this place, the whole Castle will collapse!"

"Good," Renee nodded before turning to all of her friends. "Move way back, everyone."

"Gotcha, Renee," Yakumo nodded as the whole castle gang moved a bit away from the castle.

When only Renee and Duckula were left inside, he said to her, "Make sure I go out last, Renee."

She nodded, turned around and backed up slowly as she moved out the door.

Just as soon as Duckula was taken out, the castle started to shake. Everyone watched in awe as the castle fell to pieces.

"Wow," Kat said when the castle stopped crumbling and it laid in ruins. "There goes our home."

"I told you it would collapse!" Duckula said before he covered himself and screamed, "Rain!"

"Master, don't be a chicken, you're a vampire duck!" Igor shook his head.

Renee looked above to see a major ship flying overhead. "It's heading for town," Deni noticed.

"Everyone, stay here. Turniphead, help me find a way in," Renee ordered as Turniphead bounced behind her and the rest stayed behind.

"I'm glad I'm human again," Yakumo said as she took Harima's hand. "Now you know who I am for real."

"I could see past the curse all along," Harima smiled as she smiled back lovingly.

"We found a way in!" Renee called as she and Turniphead went inside a hole and back into what was left of the castle. Which was nothing, really.

"The roof is leaking," Duckula gulped as Renee looked around for a place to set the fire demon duck down.

She placed him down on the hearth and told him, "Hang in there for a second!"

"Wait, it's wet here!" Duckula whined as he barely avoided water droplets. Renee came back with some firewood, which was damp, as she handed it to Duckula.

"Geez, what a mess," Nanny said as the rest of the gang walked in.

"I told you we should've stayed put! Raimundo and I would've handled the whole thing," Duckula snapped as he ate some wood.

"We have to tell Rai we're not attached to the shop now," Renee said. "Move the castle and take us to Raimundo."

Duckula looked at her like she had rabbit ears. "What?"

"I know you can do it. I've never seen a fire with more spark," Renee smiled.

Duckula said in an unsure voice, "But there's no chimney here, I keep getting dripped on, and the wood's all damp!"

"Is that all he does is just complain all day?" Katrina asked the two birds, who nodded.

Renee said to the fire duck, "They say the best burns brightest when circumstances are at their worse."

"Yeah, well, they're wrong," Duckula retorted.

Wuya went to sit on a stool nearby as she said, "Ooh, what a pretty fire."

Duckula then looked defeated as he said, "Alright, but I need something of yours, Renee."

"How come?" she asked.

"I can't do it alone. How about your eyes?" he asked. She looked at him weirdly as she held out her hair. "You can have this."

Duckula took a large portion of her hair, leaving Renee's hair to her shoulders, and gulped it down hungrily.

He then blazed up into a giant fire duck as he grabbed the roof of the castle and lifted the castle up.

Everyone looked in amazement as he picked the castle up and moved it down the mountain towards the town. However, the only part that remained of the castle was it's head and legs with the towers of houses and junk fallen off it as it moved.

Turniphead bounced ahead as Linus, Riko, and Yori cheered, "Cool!" "Hooray, Ducky Boss!" Nanny cheered as Igor said proudly, "Good job, Master."

"Thanks, Duckula! You're fantastic!" Renee said happily.

"Imagine what I could've done with your eyes…or your heart!" Duckula joked. What he said made Wuya's eyes widened as she said, "That's it! You've got Rai's heart!" Wuya was right as she spotted a small lump in the middle of Duckula. This was where Raimundo's heart was all this time.

As the castle kept moving, they got closer as a circle of demons were attacking something that looked like Rai.

"I think that's Raimundo!" Harima pointed out as thunder struck in the sky.

"Hurry, Ducky Boss!" Nanny said, but gaped which got everyone's attention. It was Wuya and she was going to grab Duckula

"Wuya, no!" Renee screamed, but it was too late as the old witch pulled the shovel out and grabbed Rai's heart.

"Put it back!" Rene said as she grabbed Wuya, but it was in vain as the old witch said, "Rai's heart! It's mine!"

Then, the whole castle shook about, flinging everyone except Wuya and Renee about.

"Renee, stop the old bag!" Linus screamed as he held onto his blanket.

The castle tumbled, flinging Wuya to the other side of the room. Duckula then set her on fire as she kept holding him.

"Put it back now!" Renee yelled as she hurried to where Wuya was and the castle ran about in a frenzy.

"It burns!" Wuya screamed in pain, but still didn't let go. Renee tried grabbing it from her, but it didn't work as she got slightly singed as well.

She then spotted a bucket of water nearby. She grabbed it and doused the old witch out. But, in turn, she also reduced Duckula to a small blue flame.

"Not good," Igor said in fear as Nanny gulped. "Hoo, boy," Harima gulped as well.

The castle then split in half as Renee's half was going to fall off the cliff.

"Renee!" Linus, Riko, Yori, Kat, Willow, Yakumo, and Deni yelled as they tried to save her. Acedia then leaped into Renee's arms as the two went falling off the cliff along with half the house.

"Renee!" her friends yelled in fear. Wuya sat down and cried fat tears as she held the dimly blue heart. "Renee ruined my heart. It's ruined!" With that, the still walking part of the castle went the other way, leaving Renee and Acedia alone somewhere.

GW: Oh, no! Renee and Acedia's in trouble! Stupid Wuya.

Wuya: My heart…my heart…

Deni: Freak. Read, review, and suggest 'til next time.
