Ducktales Season 2 Episode 23 - Golden Spear Part 2
Meanwhile on Earth, the Fabulous Five finish dealing with the Heartless. Donald slashes two Neoshadows, Mickey, Minnie and Daisy slash three and Goofy bashes another.
Donald: That takes care of all the Heartless!
After being beaten once again Pete growls and pouts like a child in anger. The Fabulous Five glare at him, prepared for a fight.
Pete: DOH! WHY CAN'T I EVER WIN!?
Daisy: Why don't you talk about winning, Pete, when you've become smart of enough to tie your own shoes!?
Pete: Pete growls and points in anger. This ain't over! I'll clobber you bubs next time!
Pete makes a run for it and disappears in a cloud of blue smoke. Everyone dismisses their respective weapons and relax with smiles.
Goofy: He sure never learns.
Minnie: Some things never change.
Mickey: At least we've chased him off for now.
Daisy: We might not have been able to do without Donald.
Goofy: Yeah, he sure saved us there.
They all turn around in Donald's direction.
Mickey: Thanks a lot Donald. Despite your problem you were willing to-
Mickey stops speaking and he, Daisy, Goofy and Minnie all gasps in sheer comical horror much to Donald's (who's face is off-screen right now) confusion.
Donald: What? What are you looking at?
They're so speechless they couldn't say a world and all Goofy could do was gulp.
Goofy: Oh boy…
Donald: Now Donald is getting upset. What!?
Daisy holds up a hand mirror and when Donald sees that his entire face is derived of feathers and he's now completely bald his eyes widen in horror. His entire body and tail-feathers are more dishevelled than before. In response Donald releases a scream so loud it could be heard all around Duckburg.
The door to Scrooge's bedroom opens up and Donald walks in. Seeing that he can't relax outside he might as well relax inside. Seeing the coast is clear he closes the door and sighs in relief. He attempts to tie up his hammock in one of Scrooge's closet only to be startled by the doors opening and lights turning on. He quacks in surprise to see his uncle.
Scrooge: What are you doing here!?
Donald: Well…I…uh…
Louie: Nothing!
Donald sees Louie and Lena beside him with innocent expressions obviously up to mischief and also something romantic judging by their blushing.
Lena: Nothing, nothing at all! Louie and I were definitely not doing anything romantic!
Louie: And we're definitely not checking your pockets for spare million dollar bills!
Scrooge: No, neither of you. Him!
Scrooge points his cane at a strange goat with green glowing eyes right behind the three of them, causing Donald to step back in fear and Scrooge to come inside.
Scrooge: Why are you trespassing in my togs goat?
Goat: I am no goat. This is merely my terrestrial form.
A spooky talking goat equals adventure and that's the last thing Donald wants right now.
Donald: Oh no!
Goat: The goat floats up, its eyes glowing as it forms a green vortex behind. And the laws of man do not apply in the ethereal realm of Goat'hool, a Netherworld of treasures untold and petulant orcs. Enter nobles and ye shall be Kings and Queen!
The goat disappears into the portal and ¾ of them are ecstatic.
Louie: Kings! He jumps in the portal.
Lena: Queen! She follows her boyfriend.
Scrooge: Treasure! He follows his nephew and niece.
Donald: Oh, come on! Donald hangs onto his hammock but gets sucked into another stressful adventure.
Back on the Moon Penumbra can hear Della testing her rocket, thus she is unable to sleep. She gets her gear and leaves her house.
She gathers with her awed people witnessing the rocket actually functioning properly and the engine releasing flames much to Della's joy as she lifts up her goggles. She's done it. After all these years of struggle, physical and emotional torture and hardship Della's finally fixed the Spear of Selene. She feels a true sense of pride and accomplishment.
Della: It's working! Thanks! All of you! I'm finally getting back to my family on Earth!
The people erupt in cheers and happiness for Della, chanting "Earth" much to Penumbra's anger as she walks up and climb to point her Gold Spear right at everyone.
Penumbra: If you all think Earth is so great why don't you just go already!?
Taking that rhetorical question seriously the Moonlanders become intrigued and excited.
Palus: Can we please go with you!?
Gibbous: We could get our very own dog!
Zenith: Ooh! And dress it in slap bracelets!
The people cheer again thinking Della will do it but she saddens from knowing that's impossible.
Della: I wish I could take all of you but…the Spear is too small. There's no way you'd all fit.
The people give sounds of dismay, seeing her point. Penumbra smirks, seeing an opportunity to make the moon superior.
Penumbra: But the great hero can do anything. Surely she could do it if she wanted to.
They all gasp in shock and betrayal, feeling hurt by the so-called "truth" in Penumbra's words.
Gibbous: Was it something I did! He points at Zenith. Was it something you did?
Zenith: Are you embarrassed by our primitive Moon ways!
Della: No! I really wish I could take you but…it's just not possible.
Penumbra: Penumbra walks up the statue. I thought nothing could stop the amazing Della Duck. Too bad, a failure, a liar and she snores.
Della is speechless, unable to know what to say as the people begin turning their backs and walking away from her, feeling profoundly saddened and betrayed. But they're stopped when Della says words of hope and starts to believe.
Della: Or maybe it is possible.
Penumbra: What!? No!
Della: Della gets up in determination. Penny's right! I learned rocket science! I rebuilt my ship! Why can't I fit you all in the Spear!
Gibbous: I don't know! Why!?
Zenith: No, honey, she's saying she can.
Gibbous: Really!? He laughs joyfully. Thank you!
The people roar with excitement much to Penumbra's dismay.
Della: You all helped me! This is the least I can do! PACK YOUR BAGS; WE'RE ALL GOING TO EARTH!
The people raise their fists with her, roaring with cheers as they chant Earth. Penumbra is so mad to see her plan backfire that she snaps her Gold Spear in two.
As for Donald's party, they exit via the green portal covering the door. Donald is thrown out and hits his face while Scrooge, Louie and Lena land on their tail feathers after enjoying that adventure. Louie and Lena are wearing crowns and have their arms wrapped around each other.
Scrooge: So you see kids, Real royalty comes from within.
Louie: Yeah, right sure, so the real King and Queen won't be needing this crown, right?
To their surprise the goat reaches out for both crowns and confiscates them before shutting the door.
Lena: I think that's a yes.
Before they could react they watch Donald on his side in a fetal position, completely falling apart and in panic overload. He comically shivers as the stress of constant battles and adventuring in one day has finally broken him much to their concern.
Lena: Uncle Donald…
Louie: Oh boy, you don't look so good.
Donald: Donald lifts himself up in a daze. I'm…fine…everything's fine.
Daisy: Daisy's voice comes from behind the door. No! Kids, don't! Donald can't take any questions or go on anymore adventures! He needs to-!
Too late! Dewey, Huey, Webby and Violet burst in and Daisy is unable to stop them from cross-talking and ask him for hundreds of favours and to help them out on more adventures. Donald having had enough of it all for one day grabs his hammock and storms out in depression and mentally broken, causing them to stop.
Donald: Everything is not fine.
He slams the door and more feathers fly out than ever, leaving his family extremely concerned, guilty over causing this and sorry for him, especially Daisy. Huey catches a feather.
Huey: Uncle Donald…
Daisy: Daisy clutches her hands. Ohh…poor Donald.
In Tranquillity, Lunaris sits on his throne in his house with a slapping bracelet. He proceeds to place it on while bracing for the pain only for Penumbra to snatch it.
Penumbra: It's a masked EXODUS!
She slaps it on his wrist hard, causing him great pain as she walks to entrance to see her people still gathered around the rocket.
Lunaris: OW! Lieutenant!
Penumbra: She's brainwashed them with lies and magical bracelets, she's gonna get them killed!
Lunaris: Lunaris calmly and gently walks up. Slow down, what's happening?
Penumbra: She's taking them all to Earth! She's destroying Tranquillity!
Lunaris: Our people have to be free to make their own decisions.
Penumbra: She's a liar! She's definitely up to something! And she's never washed a dish!
Della: Who're you talking about? Penumbra gasps to see Della behind her smiling. Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you
Behind her back Della holds Penumbra's spear which she repaired and Penumbra stammers in an attempt to lie.
Penumbra: I-we weren't talking about you. We were talking about another fowl beaked beast, you don't know her.
Lunaris gives his lieutenants pathetic attempts at lying a blank stare while Della spins the spear before offering it up.
Della: I found this over by the statue. You guys helped me fix my spear, it's only right that I fix yours.
Penumbra takes it confused with Della's kindness and her fixing her childhood spear. Lunaris walks up kindly.
Lunaris: Thank you Della, that's too kind.
Della brings out her family photo and to present her poorly drawn artwork of Huey, Dewey and Louie.
Della: These are my kids. Their heads aren't really shaped like eggplants. I'm not a good artist.
Penumbra feels something change in her heart as she looks at Della's render of the triplets. The female duck then brings out another photo and presents a picture of her and Donald as 11 year olds, the both of them are laughing with their arms wrapped around each other while holding sea-salt ice-cream.
Della: And this is me and my brother, Donald when we were 11 years old. Even though we lost our parents we had a really good and memorable childhood together, one I'll never forget. I still remember how adorable he was back then and how amazing he was even as a kid. Of course, I was both those things too as a kid but you get the touching point. Thanks to you I'm gonna have a chance to be a good Mom and patch things up with my brother. She places the photo back in her jacket while giving Penumbra a look of sympathy and compassion. I know what it's like to be separated from your people. To be forced to trust someone else to protect them. No one could ever protect your people as well as you Penny. But as long as they're with me I'll try with all I've got. She walks out kindly. I promise.
Lunaris gives Della a look of sympathy before leaving while Penumbra watches Della in confusion and sorrow, finally realizing how wrong she was about her, that all she wants is to go back home and be with her family. Her repaired childhood spear now symbolises her kindness and she feels guilt over the mistreatment.
On Earth Donald is in his houseboat bedroom, having lost the feathers from his tail and hands. Seeing that it's ineffectual Donald folds up his prescription hammock, boxes it and drops it in the bin and at that moment he quacks in horror when the door is knocked, not wanting more adventures or anyone to see his baldness.
Donald: Oh no! The kids! What now!?
He forces himself to open the door and to his big surprise Scrooge, Daisy, Dewey, Huey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, Mickey, Goofy, Minnie and Storkules are throwing some sort of farewell party. The kids hold a banner that reads "Bon Voyage", Dewey, Scrooge, Daisy, Mickey and Goofy wear party hats, Goofy blows a party maker and Dewey throws confetti.
Donald: What's all this?
Huey: Uncle Donald you worked so hard taking care of us.
Dewey: And we don't make it easy.
Louie: Often on purpose.
The kids are the first to run in with Webby pulling Donald by his and Dewey pushing him in, followed by the rest (albeit Storkules had some difficulty entering due to his size). Everyone is gathered around Donald as he reads a pamphlet of a cruise ship. Scrooge puts a gentle hand on him.
Scrooge: So, we arranged a month long cruise in the classy water of the Caribbean on the S.S 40 Winks.
Webby: No phones, no adventurers and lots of hammocks.
Donald: Thanks. But I can't leave the kids, who's gonna keep you out of trouble?
Huey: We have an entire family to keep us safe.
Donald: But what about my Court Magician duties.
Mickey: Aww. Don't worry about that, pal. We can manage Disney Castle without a Court Magician for a while. Right now, you need this.
Scrooge: Go relax.
Minnie: You've earned it Donald. After all, you've done so much for us even when we never asked anything of you.
Goofy: You've been through a lot to help us, including others Donald.
Mickey: That's right. You, Goofy and Sora risked your lives to save all the worlds three times from Ansem, Xemnas and Master Xehanort. And in our final battle you were more than willing to fight Xehanort alongside Goofy and Sora despite not having a Keyblade.
Minnie: And there was that one time the three of you saved the castle from Maleficent and Pete.
Daisy: Daisy wraps her arms around his romantically. And you've saved me more times than I could count…my hero.
She gives a kiss on the cheek that makes him blush and chuckle.
Donald: Aww. Daisy…
Storkules: And let us not forget the countless of times you have saved Ithaquack like the hero you truly are Noble Donald!
Dewey: And you've been looking after the three of us ever since we were born when Mom couldn't.
Huey: You've spent over 10 years protecting us and sacrificed so much for us.
Louie: You've done a lot of things for us Uncle Donald. You loved and treated the three of us like we were your son and because of that you became our father.
Webby: And you loved me just as much as you loved them. You've considered me your niece for over a year now Uncle Donald.
Lena: And like everyone else you don't think of me as a shadow, you see me as a person and treated me as a member of the family. You even fought Magica in my honour after what she did to me in the Shadow War.
Violet: You consider me and Lena as your nieces too and you're a wonderful teacher too, Uncle Donald.
Scrooge: Not to mention that you saved us and the entire world from that wretch Magica months ago.
Goofy: And despite wanting to rest you decided to help us out instead, even though you knew the stress would be bad for you.
Mickey: You've done a lot of things for us Donald.
Minnie: And we can't tell you how grateful we are to have devoted friend like you Donald.
Daisy: Now it's our turn to do something for you!
Scrooge: Plus the cruise is non-refundable and I will not give charity to layabout cruise companies, do you hear me lad!
Donald smiles, touched by the trouble everyone went through just to make him happy. The Duckburg Six wrap their arms around him for hug and he returns it, almost in tear. Scrooge puts his party hat on him in an attempt to cover his baldness.
On the moon Penumbra is walking back and forth in front of her garage.
Penumbra: Okay…maybe Della's not pure evil but she's still planning on taking my people to that planet of Nightmare Horror's tomorrow. UGH! Why can't she just go now!
In a fit of rage she tosses her spear so hard it disappears into the night sky like a star. Penumbra smirks, getting an idea from it.
Scrooge is sat in his office looking over some charts for another adventure until he looks up to see Donald walk inside and to his feathers have grown back everywhere and his nephew is smiling and is as good as new and wearing his blue sailor attire.
Donald: Hey, Uncle Scrooge.
Scrooge: Well, I see your feathers have grown back.
Donald: Yep. Surprised me too, it turns out a Mage's feather's naturally grow back faster than a normal toon bird. So, the damage wasn't that bad in the end.
Scrooge: Glad to hear it. Scrooge walks up to his nephew. So, then… all set for your vacation lad?
Donald: I sure am. I just wanted to come and say goodbye. Uncle Scrooge thanks a lot for setting this up and for paying for the cruise. I don't know what else to say.
Scrooge: Scrooge waves his hand. Ack! It was the least I could do lad. Especially after you all you've done for this family and saving us all from Magica. I've been meaning to find a way to reward you after the Shadow War. I'd say I found the perfect way to do it.
Donald: Donald looks down in guilt and doubt. I don't know. I'm not really sure I deserve this. I mean, I did abandon you for 10 years after blaming you for what happened to Della.
Scrooge: Scrooge just smiles. Water under the bridge lad. I don't hold it against ya anymore. You've punished yourself enough.
Donald: You know it's...been a long time since I've went on a vacation...what with me worrying about the boys and all.
Scrooge: Don't worry lad. Scrooge puts a hand on his shoulder. The kids are in good hands. I promise ye right now, I'll do my best to protect them.
Donald: You promise?
Scrooge: I'm crossing my heart right now.
Donald: Donald smiles gratefully. Thanks, old man. Try not to overdo it,otherwise you'll begin moulting too.
Scrooge: Please, that'll never happen to me.
Donald: Donald rolls his eyes. Let me guess why…
Donald & Scrooge: Because you're/I'm Scrooge McDuck!
Donald and Scrooge both burst into laughter for a couple of seconds. Scrooge pats Donald with his cane.
Scrooge: Now go out there and have a relaxing time Donald. You've earned it. We'll all be here when you get back.
To Scrooge's surprise Donald wraps his arm around him for a hug as though this is the last time he'll see his uncle.
Donald: Bye unc.
Scrooge smiles softly before embracing his nephew. When Donald separates he takes his leave.
Scrooge: Good luck laddie. I'll be seeing you soon…son.
Donald was walking through the corridor where he runs into Beakely cleaning up the corridor.
Donald: Mrs B.
Beakely: Oh! She stops hovering to see Donald, kicking the Hoover aside. Donald! What are you doing here?
Donald: I thought before I leave the mansion for my vacation, I'd say goodbye to everyone in here.
Beakely: Ah, yes. Scrooge told me about your vacation on a cruise… She gives a look of sympathy. …And the stressful day you've been having. Sorry, you haven't been able to rest lately Donald.
Donald: Thanks for the sympathy, Mrs B. I appreciate. Though, part of me expected it all to happen. No matter how much I rest adventure will always.
Beakely: I can relate to that.
Donald: Mrs. B. Donald puts his hands behind his back.
Beakely: Yes, Donald.
Donald: I just wanna say…thanks for everything you've done for us, all the way back to when I was the kids' age. And I also want to thank you for comforting me after Mom and Dad's funeral. I really needed that. Me and Della never mentioned this, but aside from Aunt Matilda, and both my grandmothers... you were the closest thing we had to a mother at that point.
Beakely: Beakely is touched by his admittance. That's very sweet of you to say. Thank you Donald. And I believe I should be thanking you for considering my granddaughter as your niece.
Donald: Don't mention it. Webby's a good girl, a very special girl. Take care of her while I'm gone.
Beakely: You know I will, as long as you enjoy yourself on your little cruise.
Donald: Deal, Agent 22!
Donald jumps into Beakely for a hug, much to her surprise but she smiles and returns the touching gesture.
Huey, Dewey and Louie were packing up the necessities in their backpack.
Donald: Boys.
The triplets turn to see their uncle walking towards them smiling.
Huey: Oh! Hey, Uncle Donald.
Dewey: Your feathers are back! That's great!
Donald: One of the benefits of being a mage. Our feathers grow back way faster.
Louie: Sweet! That just makes me wish I'm mage. I wouldn't have to put effort into anything.
Donald: Donald, Dewey and Huey roll their eyes. Right. So, where are you boys going? Off on another adventure.
Dewey: The boys are excited. Yup! Uncle Scrooge told us to get ready for another adventure filled with daring dangers…
Huey: Infinite wisdom…
Louie: And Money and Treasure.
Donald: There's no stopping you three, is there?
Dewey: When it comes to adventure, no way.
Donald: Donald chuckles a little. I guess you three wouldn't be you if that was never the case. Donald bends down with a pleading smile. Boys, be on your best behaviour until I get back.
Huey: Don't worry Uncle Donald, you can count on us!
The boys then look down in guilt, confusing Donald.
Donald: What's wrong?
Dewey: Uncle Donald, we're really sorry for ruining your relaxation day.
Huey: We knew you were moulting and it was important that you avoided adventures but…
Louie: We just couldn't help ourselves. We didn't mean to stress you out like that.
Huey: I'm sorry we awoke zombies and dragged you into fighting them off, Uncle Donald.
Dewey: And I'm sorry for provoking Zeus and forcing you to fight him.
Louie: And sorry Scrooge and I dragged you into another dimension like that.
Donald: Donald gives a kind and forgiving smile. Its ok boys, I'm not angry at either of you. I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect any of this happening. I won't hold it against ya. He pats their heads. Just... try to take it easy so you don't end up featherless too.
Louie: The triplets smile feeling touched and Louie gives a sign of peace. You got it.
Huey: And you have fun on your cruise.
Dewey: You've earned it after being our father for years. Send us photos of anything exciting.
Donald: Donald chuckles. If anything exciting happens I'll be sure to take pictures of it.
Louie: You can count on us to be there when you get back.
Donald: Thanks boys! Huey, keep on making good decisions.
Huey: Woodchuck's honor!
Donald: And look after your brothers.
Huey: Yes, Uncle Donald.
Donald: Dewey, keep up your enthusiasm.
Dewey: You bet I will!
Donald: And no backtalk.
Dewey: No Uncle Donald.
Donald: And Louie, good luck with your Louie Inc. dream. And keep on seeing those angles.
Louie: Done and done.
Donald: And be good! Oh, and unless it's aimed at villains, no spit balls.
Louie: Yes, and no Uncle Donald
Donald: Donald gets up. See ya soon my little troublemakers. Oh, and one more thing. He joyfully spreads out his arms. Give me a hug! (1)
The boys are almost in tear as they jump into Donald arms, hugging him as much as they.
Dewey: Aww! We're really gonna miss you Uncle Donald!
Donald: Aww! And I'll miss you too! Protect the girls. They'll need you.
Duck Boys: The triplets pull back smiling. You bet we will!
Donald: Guess I have nothing to worry about. Donald sets his nephews down. Bye boys. He takes his leave.
Duck Boys: By Uncle Donald! When he leaves the door Louie saddens.
Louie: Things aren't gonna be the same without him.
Huey: Huey puts a comforting hand on his back. Cheer up. It's only for one month.
Dewey: Yeah, what's the worst that could happen?
Scenes shift to Webby's bedroom where the girls are placing things inside their backpacks for their big adventure until a knock is heard which prompts them to turn.
Webby: Come in.
Donald: Hey, girls. Donald walks up to Team Magic who gets up smiling.
Lena: Oh! Hey, Uncle Donald.
Violet: Shouldn't you be going on your vacation by now?
Donald: Yeah, but I thought I'd say goodbye to everyone before I left.
Webby: Webby places a hand over her heart, touched. Aww! That's sweet.
Donald: Looks like you three are also getting ready for the big adventure Uncle Scrooge has planned out.
Webby: You bet we are!
Lena: Scrooge says it's something big! How could we resist?
Violet: This should promise to be a thrilling and insightful experience.
Donald: Donald chuckles at the enthusiasm. No wonder my boys like you girls so much. You remind me so much of them. Webby, Lena and Violet blush before Donald bends to their level. Webby, Lena, Violet, you girls take care ok?
Violet: Thank you Uncle Donald.
Webby: We promise! Oh, and uh… sorry about the undead zombie thing, Uncle Donald. Webby, Lena and Violet look down.
Violet: So am I. We shouldn't have worsened your moulting process like that by dragging you into our situation.
Lena: And I'm sorry we drove you into breaking point by dragging you with us in another dimension. We didn't mean to ruin your day for relaxing.
Donald: Donald gives Team Magic a kind and forgiving smile. It's okay girls. I sorta had a feeling that was gonna happen. You have nothing to apologise for. Webby, keep up the good fight, show every villain in town what a mistake it would be to mess with a tough girl like you. And keep smiling. Webby, Lena and Violet smile excitedly and gratefully.
Webby: You bet I will!
Donald: Lena, continue showing what an amazing girl you truly are. That you're no longer the niece of Magica De Spell, but rather the nephew of Donald Duck and girlfriend of Louie Duck.
Lena: You bet Uncle Donald.
Donald: And Violet, keep your friends out of trouble and keep seeing what life has to offer you.
Violet: That I will. Good luck on your cruise.
Donald: Thanks. He gets up smiling with his arms open. Before I go, how about a big hug for your uncle?
Webby, Lena and Violet almost in tears jump into Donald's arms for a massive hug which they stay in for a while.
Webby: AWW! Uncle Donald, we're gonna miss you so much!
Donald: I'll miss you three too. Take good care of my boys, I know how much you love them.
Lena: It always feels like they're protecting us.
Violet: But we'll do our best.
Webby: We promise Uncle Donald. We love you so much!
Donald: I love you too.
Back in the city of Tranquillity, Penumbra evilly held a sleeping and snoring Della in her arms. She sets her down in front of the cockpit before opening the plastic case protecting the Emergency Launch switch. After some hesitance she flips the switch and the rocket activates.
Spear of Selene: Launch sequence activated.
As the countdown begins Penumbra shakes a groggy Della awake.
Della: I told you Penny, I'll wash the dishes tomorrow- She gasps in horror to see the launch sequence activated. The Spear!? What's going on!?
Penumbra: Penumbra feigns shock and innocence. I don't know! There must've been a malfunction!
Della: Della gets in, attempting in vain to stop the launch. I can't stop it, the emergency launch is irreversible!
Penumbra: Go! Get back to your family!
Della: But what about the others! I can't leave them behind, I promised!
Lunaris: We'll build more! To their surprise Lunaris appears with a pleading expression. Give me the plans for the ship! We'll build a fleet and we'll follow you to Earth shortly! You've inspired my people Della! Let me return the favour!
As the Spear counts down Lunaris reaches out with a kind smile. Della although hesitant at first brings out the repaired manual and comes out to gladly hand it to Lunaris which fills him with gratitude. Della then aims an almost tearful smile at Penumbra, her best friend who is a little scared she knows about her stunt but to her surprise she's met by Della giving her big hug, almost in tears. This time the alien warrior does not fight back and returns it before Della runs in.
Spear of Selene: 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
The cockpit closes and flames burst out of the engines. The ropes that held the rocket snap and Lunaris and Penumbra watch as the Spear of Selene blasts off into space towards Planet Earth where Della will finally reunite with the people she loves.
Tears of joy and determination gush out of her eyes.
Della: I'm coming boys! Mom is coming home!
The two aliens watch the Spear fly off into the distance and Penumbra smiles, happy that she saved her people and also secretly wishes Della good luck. Then to her great shock Lunaris blasts himself below the shoulder, creating a mark there. His kind face replaced by the expression of tyrant, revealing his true colour.
Penumbra: Sir! What're you doing!?
The rest of the Moonlanders gather and to their great horror and confusion they watch the Spear leave the Moon's atmosphere.
Gibbous: What's going on!?
Zenith: The Spear! She points up. It's gone!
Lunaris: Lunaris holds his wounded shoulder. Della betrayed you! SHE BETRAYED US ALL! Penumbra is shocked by the lies coming from her general as the people gasp and he walks up front. She lured us with sad stories and fabulous falsehoods about Earth so that we'd help her rebuild her ship! Then when the time was right she attacked me!
Buying his lies and the wound on his arm the people are feeling shocked and betrayed.
Zenith: But what about her family…and…and all those stories!?
Lunaris: An elaborate deception!
Palus: But why!?
Lunaris: Because she was just the first wave of a bigger attack! He points at the Earth. She lied to us so she could get back to tell her fellow Earther's that we are weak, soft, primed for an invasion. Now the Moonlanders are angered and boiling with feelings they've never felt before…rage and hatred. But are we going to hide down here and wait to be invaded!?
Moonlanders: NO!
Lunaris: Or are we going to take these plans I rustled away from the traitor as she fled and use them to build a fleet of ships and invade them first!
He raises the manual high in the air and the angry mob of Moonlanders raises their fists in the air like an army.
Moonlanders: YES/YEAH!
Lunaris: AND PROVE THAT THE MOON IS THE GREATEST PLANET! IN THE UNIVERSE!
Moonlander: YEEEESS! The Moonlanders roar with anger.
Lunaris: Lunaris tyrannically raises the manual high. WE ARE THE MIGHTY! WE ARE THE MOON!
The Moonlanders are chanting "Moon" in a war cry fashion. Penumbra is saddened by the anger she's seeing in her normally peaceful people and only one word can describe her feelings of her general's true colours…speechless…completely speechless.
Donald is in the foyer where he stands in the centre holding a brown suitcase, Save the Queen (disguised as an umbrella) and staring at the giant picture of him, Scrooge and Della fighting Captain Peghook and his pirate, he particularly looks at Della until Daisy walks up to him down the stair.
Daisy: Hey, handsome.
Donald: Donald smiles standing opposite of her. Hiya toots.
Daisy: So are you all set to go?
Donald: Yeah, I've got all my things with me. I've just spent time saying goodbye to everyone in the mansion. Though I can't find Storkules anywhere, I know Duckworth is hanging out with some friends in the Spirit World.
Daisy: Storkules went back to Ithaquack. But he told me to tell you he wishes you the best of luck and the safest travel.
Donald: Tell him I said thanks.
Daisy: Daisy frowns sadly. Gee, Donald. I'm really sorry how badly today went. All you wanted to do was relax but instead what you got was an overdose of stressing battles and adventures.
Donald: It's okay. It happens all the time when I try to rest. I'm used to it. Besides, I'm going on a cruise because of all of you. Daisy, thanks a lot for helping set this up. It really means a lot to me.
Daisy: Daisy softly rubs her boyfriend's face. Hey, don't mention it. You've done so much for me Donald, saving me countless times, being there for me whenever I needed you and despite what an awful person I was back in the institute you found it heart to forgive and continue loving me.
Donald: The both of them hold hands together. And I still do.
Daisy: So do I. And I'll never forget how you saved my life from Magica. This was the least I could do for you. You've earned this vacation.
Donald: Thanks toots. I'm really gonna miss you.
Daisy: I'll miss you too Donald. I'll miss you so much.
The Duck Couple share a warm, loving romantic goodbye hug for a minute.
Mickey: You aren't leaving without saying goodbye to your best friends, are ya?
They separate to watch Mickey, Goofy and Minnie approaching them.
Donald: Are you kidding? I could never forget to say goodbye to you guys.
Goofy: We wanted to come see you off, Donald.
Donald: Thanks. That means a lot.
Minnie: The three of them along with Daisy put on guilty expressions. Oh, Donald. We're sorry we couldn't keep you away from the stress of adventure. We never even got a chance to protect you from it.
Mickey: Sorry we dragged you into our fight with Pete, Donald.
Goofy: We couldn't really help give you a stress-free day.
Donald: It's okay you guys. I willingly fought with you guys because you're my friends. I couldn't abandon you like that to help myself. Besides, you've more than made up for it by helping setting this all up. Thanks.
Mickey: The four of them smile brightly. You've done a lot for this family and for us Donald. Not to mention you us…no, you saved the entire world from Magica's darkness.
Minnie: We've wanted to find the perfect gift for you as show of our appreciation for all you do for us Donald. I think this more than qualifies.
Mickey: Mickey is the first to walk up. Now you go enjoy your vacation pal. You've earned it.
Donald: Thanks Mickey. You're a real pal. Keep taking care of the kingdom.
Mickey: You betcha pal!
Minnie: Minnie walks up and takes his hands. Safe travels Donald. I truly hope you have fun on that cruise. Go out there and have a good time.
Donald: I will. Thanks for your support Minnie.
Minnie: Of course. Don't mention it.
Goofy: Goofy walks up next. Good luck out there pal! Bring us back some souvenirs!
Donald: If they have a gift shop, I will. Take care, Goofy. Tell Max I said hi.
Goofy: You bet I will.
Daisy: Daisy walks up with a beautiful smile. Just remember, this cruise is all about you. After all the hard work you've done for this family, you deserve some recreational time to yourself. Now go out there and enjoy yourself to your heart's content.
Donald: I will as long as you promise to take care of April, May and June.
Daisy: It's a deal.
Donald: Donald gives his childhood best friends one last look. Mickey, Goofy, Minnie, Daisy, you all are the best friends a guy like me could've ever asked for. He opens up his arms. Bring it in pals.
Almost in tears, the Fabulous Five gather together. Donald, Daisy, Mickey, Goofy and Minnie all share a warm, loving group hug for a while. They all pull back smiling and Donald grabs his suitcase and staff.
Donald: Well, I'd better go. Launchpad's waiting outside by now. So long everyone.
Mickey: Take care of yourself pal.
Minnie: Goodbye Donald.
Goofy: Bon voyage pal.
Donald proceeds to take his leave. When he reaches the door Daisy grabs his wrist, stopping him.
Daisy: Wait.
Donald sets his case and "umbrella" down and turns. The Duck Couple stand opposite of each other and Daisy gives the sweetest smile she could give.
Daisy: Goodbye, Donald. I'll see you again in one month or more if you take an extended stay. I'll be right back here when you come home, I promise.
Donald: They wrap their arms around each other romantically. And I promise I'll be back home safely Daisy.
Donald and Daisy lean towards each other sharing warm, passionate, romantic kiss for a whole minute. Mickey, Goofy and Minnie watch the scene happily and when they pull back smiling Donald holds onto Daisy's hand as long as he could as though this is the last time he'll see her. Eventually they separate; Donald takes his belongings and leaves the mansion. The gang all silently wish him good luck.
Donald is outside the door where he sees Launchpad having opened the door and motioning his sailor friend inside.
Launchpad: Your chariot awaits Mr D.
Donald smiles and walks inside.
Scenes shift to the bus stop where Donald stands in front of the limo saying goodbye to Launchpad.
Donald: Thanks for dropping me off LP.
Launchpad: No problem Mr D. You go and have the best vacation of a lifetime.
Donald: Yeah. Also, I wanna thank you for everything you've done for our family and for being Dewey's best friend. You may be a bit spaced out and tend to crash a lot but you're a good friend to the family.
Launchpad is touched by Donald's words and in response he picks Donald up for a massive hug, much to his charigin as it's like being hugged by Storkules. But he forces on a smile before being set down.
Launchpad: Aww, don't mention it Mr D. I'd do anything for the McDuck family, especially. He gets in the limo and waves goodbye. Welp, see you in a month's time.
Donald: Launchpad!
Donald gives Launchpad goodbye by giving a classic sailor salute. Launchpad smiles and returns the salute before closing the window and driving off. Donald looks at the manor on the hill with a peaceful smile.
Donald: Goodbye…family. Ducks don't back down.
Meanwhile, on the moon after lying and rallying his people Lunaris is in his bedroom, overlooking his people's preparation for battle with a bandage wrapped around his shoulder, proud of his lie but Penumbra isn't very happy.
Penumbra: You wanted this all along. He turns. You bought her and her ship here, got them on her side, why?
Lunaris: Because the others aren't warriors like you and I. They needed a reason to fight so I gave them one: Betrayal. He evilly brings out and opens the manual. And I got her to give me these with a little good old, Earth compassion.
Penumbra: But you're risking the lives of our people. Aren't you afraid that-
Lunaris: NO! I will not spend my life in fear of the Earth like my father! The Earth will fear ME!
He gets in Penumbra's face and she reels back, terrified of the evil in his face she's never seen before.
Penumbra: But why did you pair her with me?
Lunaris: Honestly, it was the only way I could get her to move here. She actually liked you Penumbra, said you reminded her of her…brother, Donald Duck.
Penumbra watches Lunaris take his leave and then looks to Earth, concerned with the horror that's soon to come.
Donald stands in front of the bus stop reading the pamphlet while holding Save the Queen and his earphones on, listening to his favourite song: "Brother-Sister" from his walkman. He hears a faint sound in the sky that makes him puts his earphones in his pockets.
What he's seeing is something he thought he'd never see in a long time. The Spear of Selene is falling down through the sky and crash landing in the woods.
Donald: HUH!? I-it can't be!?
His beak is wide open in happiness and disbelief. The Spear of Selene means one thing. Donald runs off into the forest dropping his pamphlet and two feathers.
Donald opens two bushes and sure enough, on the ground is the Spear of Selene. His sister… Della is alive. She's survived and now she's returned home. Feeling a sense of pure joy and happiness as well as the need to cry Donald runs to the rocket.
Donald: Della! Donald climbs to see the cockpit empty. Della! Della! Where are you sis!?
When Donald goes in to take a closer look his bad luck activates as he accidentally presses the big black button that activates the launch sequence.
Spear of Selene: Launch Sequence activated.
Donald: Donald freezes and looks at the cockpit close. Aww, phooey…
Spear of Selene: T-minus 60… Donald pushes buttons that only make the countdown quicker. 30… 8… 3… 2… 1…
Donald: No! No! NOOOO!
Donald bangs onto the windows but to no avail. The engines ignite and once again the Spear of Selene blasts off into the sky. Donald screams in fear and horror.
As the Spear blasts off into space, Della who had left the rocket long before Donald arrived is now standing in front of the gates of…McDuck Manor. She had done it. After all these years of struggling and surviving she has finally accomplished her 10 year goal.
Della: I'm home.
Della Duck is finally home… but Donald Duck is now the one lost in outer space…

After over 10 years of struggle, survival, physical torture, emotional torment and hardship Della Duck has finally made it back home. But in a twist of Duck Twin irony, Donald and Della Duck have switched places. While Della's on Earth, Donald's lost in outer space and if he lands on the Moon then he might not get a warm welcome. Looks like their reunion has been cut short.
Della reunites with Scrooge and Daisy, later on Mickey, Goofy and Minnie and she finally meets her three sons: Huey, Dewey and Louie. Though, while she's good when it comes to adventure and monster fighting being a mother is going to be a lot harder than she thought, especially since she's been gone for 10 years. But she'll get a chance to prove herself when an old foe that was stuffed in the garage reawakens to get revenge and this time it's not on Scrooge.
As for Donald, he crash lands on the moon and is about to encounter the face of the alien that will cause destruction on Earth.
Special thanks to J .Tom for Donald's goodbye dialogue with his family and friends and Della talking about Donald.
