Ducktales Season 2 Episode 32 - Glomtales Part 3
StaffordFan13: Yes, it should be held against her. She said bad things about Louie and now he knows what she thought of him.
Louie and Della will reconcile in a heart-warming manner. And I'm not taking cues from anyone. This is how I planned on doing it before I read puppydogs stories. Della needs to learn the hard way about thinking before speaking. The reconciliation scene will make everything better, trust me.
Here's part 3 of Glomtales. It's gonna be quite heart-breaking, I should warn you.
Rain poured down and lightning crackled from the thunderstorm above. Louie is stuck midair, impaled in one of Merlock's Ethereal blades, purple in the face, shaking and whimpering in fear and pain as he processes what just happened to him. Della, Scrooge, Dewey, Huey, Webby, Beakely and Launchpad's faces are just as purple right now at the horrifying sight and the villains all grinned, especially Merlock.
Merlock: Oh, I'm so sorry. Does that hurt? I guess I just don't know my own strength.
He impales his blade further and a surge of electricity envelopes Louie that makes him scream in the worst form of pain and agony.
Webby: HOW COULD YOU!?
Dewey: STOP IT MERLOCK!
Louie's face is still purple but he finds the strength to shoot Merlock a hateful look and attempts to knee him in the face only for the dark mage to catch his knee easily.
Merlock: Still have some fire in you I see, Llewellyn.
Louie is shaking beyond belief, unable to escape as his knee is forced back.
Della: YOU MONSTER! STOP IIIIIIIT!
She leaps at Merlock re-summoning her sword to cut him to pieces only for Merlock to use his mother hand to send a blast of energy that engulfs Della and sends her screaming in pain. She smashes into the stairs and lies on it groaning. Scrooge runs forwards and tosses his cane only for Magica to teleport, whack it away and ensnare the elderly duck in rope, sending him into the barrier.
Scrooge: LAD!
Della: Della lifts herself up and helplessly watches her son be tortured. Louie!
Beakely: How could you do this!?
Launchpad: He's just an 11 year old kid!
Louie's face is now filled with anguish and he's fighting for consciousness.
Louie: I…I can't…breathe…
Merlock then holds Louie up above his head and the blade hurts his body even more. Della, Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Webby, Launchpad and Beakely's faces are purple from watching the sheer brutality of the torture they're seeing. They shake in fear and are this close to throwing up, speechless and helpless.
Merlock laughs as he begins to shake Louie around, making him scream in horrifying agony as electricity envelopes and is tearing apart his 11-year old body. Louie's screams become louder and louder.
Merlock: Hey, whip it. Yeehaw, that's it Buckaroo, ride 'em cowboy.
Louie's screams are at its loudest and he directs a gaze at his mother who's still purple in the face from horror and guilt and is practically crying.
Louie: Mom…WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!? WHY!?
A faint aura of darkness surrounds Louie. Tears flow down Della's guilty and disgraced face, unable to say anything out of self-hate and regret. Louie feels himself slipping from consciousness.
Louie: "I guess…this is the end for me…this is the kind of death I've been trying to avoid…Mom…I truly hate you…how could you do this to me…? Dewey…Huey…why didn't you defend me? Uncle Donald…where are you? L-Lena…
His eyes close and he blacks out.
Lena and Violet are near a river in their normal clothes now, the former grabbing her head and screaming in pain from feeling Louie's agony. Violet does her best to provide comfort.
Violet: It's getting worse! What's happening!?
Lena: I don't know! It's Louie! He's in pain and it feels like he's dying! There has to be a way we can help him from her Vi!
Candles have been arranged around them like some sort of séance and Violet sits on one end with some sort of spellbook open.
Violet: This spell might help…that is if you're aright delving into magic Lena.
Lena: Lena becomes determined as she sits down. I'll do whatever it takes to save, Louie! He's done everything in his power to save me every time so it's my turn to save him, even if it means I have to mess with magic.
Violet: Violet smiles proudly. Very well, this spell should help. She shows the page. With we might be able to project your mind and telepathically help Llewellyn.
Lena: What?
Violet: Violet deadpans. I'm saying your mind and soul will be released from your body here and be teleported to wherever Louie is.
Lena: Lena becomes ecstatic. Then let's do it! Our friendship bracelets should be more than powerful as magical sources of energy.
Violet: Precisely. Now take my hand and concentrate with me Lena.
Without question the Sabrewing Sisters take each other's hand and close their eyes in intense focus. They begin the séance with an intense song, turning the candle flames light blue and they chant.
Lena & Violet: With the hand of my best friend, we bring eternal suffering to an end. With the hand of my best friend, we bring eternal suffering to an end. With the hand of my best friend, we bring eternal suffering to an END!
They're surrounded in an outline of purple light as their friendship bracelets glow. At that moment transparent image of Lena leave her body and Violet opens her eyes to see Lena completely stationary.
Violet: Good luck sister. She opens the book to open a magic window.
Louie is now stuck midair in Merlock's blade, his body limp and unmoving. (5)
Dewey: Is he…?
Huey: He isn't moving…
Webby: No…it can't be…
Scrooge: Lad…
Della chokes in her tears and the adults could only remain speechless. The villains all watch in glee.
Magica: Whoops. He died. Lena won't be happy when she sees this.
Merlock: And so the final spark goes out.
Merlock tosses Louie away and now the evil triplet is falling down the air.
Della: LOUIE! I'M COMING!
Della snaps out of her guilt and rushes off to save her youngest son only Merlock to knee her into the ground via her stomach, causing her to scream in immense pain. Merlock then steps on her stomach to immobilise her.
Merlock: Do you really think you can save him Della? He chuckles. Sorry, but I'm afraid it's too late for the both of you.
Della: NOOO! She desperately reaches out to her youngest son. MY BABY!
Scrooge: Lad!
Dewey, Huey, Webby, Beakely & Launchpad: LOUIE!
Louie falls down past the bridge and splashes into the water. His hand sticks out until it sinks and now the evil triplet is plummeting down towards the bottom of the ocean.
Della feels the pain of reality strike her mind. She feels something within her snap, making her growl at Merlock laughing. She clenches her fists so hard they look like they'll crack.
Della: How could you…do this horrible thing? I'll make you hurt…I'll make you suffer!
Merlock becomes surprised to see a brown glow in her eyes.
Della: I WILL KILL YOU!
Suddenly her biceps, abs and back muscles flex underneath her outfit and she releases a loud scream of rage that make a brown fiery aura explode from her and send Merlock flying.
Merlock: What!?
All the villains shield their faces and the McDuck Clan beaks are wide open in shock and amazement at what they are witnessing. Della now stands with brown fiery aura swirling around her, eyes glowing brown, muscles flexed underneath her outfit and her hair whipping up a little.
Huey: No way!
Della: MOM!?
Webby: AUNT DELLA!?
Scrooge: Bless me bagpipes! Could it be…!?
Beakely: Her own true power has been unleashed!
Launchpad: It's just like with Mr D!
They remember how Donald looks when unleashing 20, 40, 50 and 100% of his true power. The blue aura of electricity being far different from the fiery brown aura surrounding Della.
Magica: Magica looks at Della, traumatised. Those eyes…she has those eyes…
(Flashback)
She remembers the intense look in Donald's glowing eyes in his incomplete true power state then his complete true power
(End of Flashback)
Magica: How could this be!? She's not even a mage!
Ma Beagle tries to yank Big Time latched onto her head.
Ma Beagle: Get off me you moron!
Big Time: But I'm scared Ma!
Ma Beagle: Be scared somewhere else!
Bouncer, Burger and Beaks hug onto each other, Flintheart and Karnage have their weapons ready.
Della looks at a surprised Merlock with the intensity of a tiger.
Della: MERLOCK! DIE!
She flies forward and smashes her muscular fist into Merlock who gasps for air as she digs it deep into his stomach, then delivers a spin kick to the face, following it up with a barrage of punches in the stomach and then an uppercut that sends Merlock flying off the bin's main entrance. Della leaps to smash her foot into Merlock's stomach crushing him so hard into the bridge a small crater is made. Della shouts as she pummels Merlock with vicious punches to his face and he struggles to block them. She then grabs Merlock by the ankle, spins him around before tossing him right into the air and send him screaming.
Della re-summons Godslayer and flies high above Merlock, holding her sword with a scream of anger and agony. Her energy gets channel and Godslayer becomes coated in a brown sword of energy that becomes insanely long. Everyone watching is in awe and Owlson finally faints from everything she's been forced to see.
Della: THIS ONE'S FOR LOUIE!
She brings down her sword and Merlock gasps in terror, crossing his Ethereal blades. When the blade makes contact he screams in pain as he is engulfed in light and a massive explosion of brown light occurs in the water that is visible to everyone who has their beaks wide open in shock. When it subsides a mighty splash occurs and water drops rain down on Della, her sword back to normal as she pants in exhaustion with energy still swirling around her muscular body.
Dewey: Whoa…that was awesome…
Huey: I didn't know Mom could do that!
Webby: That was as amazing as Donald's power!
Scrooge: Curse me kilts. It seems when the lass snaps and loses control of her emotions she seems to be able to unleash a vast reserve of hidden power!
Beakely: Just like your nephew.
Launchpad: Sweet.
However, the moment of celebration is disturbed when Merlock reappears behind the exhausted Della.
Merlock: Missed me?
Della gasps and turns her head only to be kneed right in the belly. Clan McDuck gasps and Clan Glomgold's terror turns into sinister glee when they see Della gasping and screaming for air, losing her pilot hat, the aura and her muscles deflate in the process. Then Merlock sends out a blast of energy that engulfs Della and she screams in pain as she smashes into the barrier, screaming louder when she gets electrocuted and drops to the floor in agony.
Scrooge: Della!
Dewey & Huey: Mom!
Merlock lands on the ground to laugh at Della as she gets on her knees struggling to get up.
Merlock: Impressive. Perhaps you're not so pathetic without your brother. You unleashed your own hidden power and landed a decent barrage of attacks on me. Regardless, you still cannot defeat me.
Della growls before jumping at Merlock, swinging her sword wildly only for Merlock float back while he's parrying her attacks. He also dodges a metal spin kick and when Della jumps to slice him she gets kneed in the stomach one more before the top of her hair gets grabbed. Della is now screaming in pain and it worsens when she's punched in the gut. She drops onto the floor clutching her stomach in pain and Merlock prepare stomp her only for Della to roll out of the way and thrust her blade. Merlock whacks it aside and Della is disarmed once again. She looks at her sword in shock allowing Merlock to push her down via her hair and slam her face to the ground.
Merlock snickers and when Della turns her head Della stomps the side of her face and now she's screaming in horrible pain and agony.
Merlock: It just goes to show when you want a job done right you need put your foot down.
He presses harder and Della's screams get louder in response. The family trapped in the barrier are viciously struggling to escape their restraints while bashing against the barrier to help Della but to no avail and the villains laugh obnoxiously at Della's suffering as her face gets further pressed into the ground and her screams are at their loudest. The McDuck family could only watch in horror.
Launchpad: This is awful! We gotta do something!
Dewey: Mom! Stay strong!
Scrooge: Lass, no!
Merlock laughs as Della screams.
Unbeknownst to them, Lena's mind teleports underwater at bottom of the ocean and when she opens her eyes she gasps in amazement at the beautiful scenery around her.
Lena: Whoa! I'm underwater, should've brought my bathing suit.
Violet: Lena. Can you hear me? Lena!
Lena: Violet, is that you? Where are you sis?
Violet: I'm still near the river. I've opened a window in the book to contact you. Your body is front of me.
Lena: And my mind is here, it worked Vi.
Violet: Where are you?
Lena: It looks like I'm in the bottom of the ocean near the bridge.
Violet: Then Llewellyn must be there somewhere. He's in critical danger of staying underwater too long. Find him.
Lena: But I don't know where his? I'm not even sure where to-
She gasps in sheer horror when she sees the beaten and battered Louie lying on the ocean floor unconscious.
Lena: Louie! She flies over and manages to lift his head up, horrified to see what's happened to him and rubs his face. Ohmygosh! Louie what's happened to you!? Please, be alright! Violet, I've found him! He's in really bad shape! It's like he was mauled by a tiger.
Violet: Then we don't have a moment to waste! Heal him before it's too late!
Lena: I'm on it!
Lena gently sets Louie down, has both his hands place on his heart and Lena gently clasps on with a pleading and almost tearful look.
Lena: I won't leave you Louie, not like this! So don't you dare leave me! She places her hand above his heart. Please work.
Purple energy radiates from her palm and it engulfs Louie. His body swirls with energy and Lena gives it everything she got. Suddenly, his eyes jolt open.
Meanwhile, Merlock continues crushing Della who's screams become more agonised. He looks to see the fearful family.
Merlock: Don't worry; you'll all get your turn soon.
Glomgold: Can we move this along. I have a victory dinner reservation.
Merlock: Fair enough. Goodbye Della. Your brother will-
Louie: DESTRUCTO DISK!
Suddenly a large green energy disk soars towards Merlock and he quickly brings up a barrier that bounces it up.
Merlock: What!? Who dares-!
Webby: That was Lena's move!
Dewey: But the voice was male!
When everyone looks in the right direction they become stupefied to see Louie standing on the nearest arch with his hand held out.
Dewey, Huey & Webby: Louie!
Scrooge: He survived!
Launchpad: He's alive!
Beakely: But-but how!?
Glomgold: WHAT!?
Magica: No! It can't be!
Merlock: But I killed him! He's supposed to sheesh kebab right now!
Karnage: He should've died!
Beaks: So how is he not dead!
Big Time: Maybe it's some sort of ghost!
Bouncer: Can ghosts do that.
Della is able to open her eyes enough to be able to see her son.
Della: Louie…?
Louie: Louie holds up his hand, forming another large energy disk. Destructo…DISK! HA! (6)
He throws the disk and it splits into ten smaller but powerful ones. Merlock and Magica quickly form barriers and the other villains hide behind the witch. The disks were powerful enough to push Merlock away from Della and shatter both barriers. Louie
Della: Louie…you're okay… I thought I lost you…
Della painstakingly reaches out for her youngest son for a touch but gasps when he slaps her hand away.
Louie: You already have. You're just lucky I'm not a villain or I'd have let him hurt you more.
Della is hurt and Louie softly kicks his mother. She phases through the barrier and bumps into Scrooge and the others, neutralising their magical ropes by accident.
Louie: Just do me a favour and stay out of my way. I'm finishing this fight.
Clan McDuck: They stand in shock. WHAT?!
Della: Louie, that's crazy!
Scrooge: Don't be daft lad!
Dewey: It's 9 against 1!
Louie: I know. Louie smirks. Glomgold should've recruited more than that. Oh, and by the way… He gives Della a look of anger. She cringes in guilt when he rolls up her sleeve to reveal the bracelet device. …This is what I think of your stupid countermeasures.
His free hand flares with power and he rips the device off before crushing it with his foot. Della's eyes were widened.
Della: Well, there goes another one of Gyro's inventions.
The villains all look at Louie, completely stupefied as he smirks.
Merlock: How are you still alive!? I thought I you were-
Louie: I'm not.
Louie held out his hand, his friendship bracelet glows and khopesh clatters. Both disappear and reappear in his hand. Louie pets his khopesh.
Louie: Did you miss me darling. Of course you did.
Magica: I've seen enough! Now die for real!
Magica releases a bolt of energy but Louie swipes his friendship bracelet, releasing a blast of green light that cancels out the bolt and has Della opens her beak in sheer amazement while the rest are happy.
Della: What's going on!?
Huey: Wait and see, Mom!
When it subsides, Louie blankly stands on the same spot wearing his battle outfit, claws, fangs and crystal like eyes all ready. His fists are clenched hard.
Della: Ohmygosh… Is that really Louie?!
Scrooge: Aye, indeed it is!
Della: He looks so…amazing! Wait, are those fangs and claws!? What's with the facepaint!?
Launchpad: Mr D made sure Louie's powers were lion-based.
Della: Can you kids do that too!?
Dewey: Yep, so can Lena, Violet, May, April and June.
Huey: Though we're a little different.
Della: Della looks at her youngest son in awe. Wow…that's amazing.
And to Della's and some of the villains surprise Louie brings up his fists and releases a viciously loud lion roar.
Della: He can roar like a lion too!? Now that's what I call a real kitty! (7)
Webby: Louie! How did you survive! And since when could you use magic!
Louie: Louie smiles fondly. Lena's good shadow magic, including Violet saved me.
Lena's mind returns to her body near the river and she groans in exhaustion, dropping to her side until Violet catches her. Lena wakes up to smile at her sister who returns it.
Lena: He's okay, now. And I decided to leave him a little gift to help.
Louie: Not only did she save me… He brings up his hand flaring with magic. …She also left me a little gift, passing on some of her powers temporarily.
Magica: I should've known that little whelp of a niece of mine had a hand in this.
Ma Beagle: So the son came to save his precious mother. How touching.
Louie: Louie gives Della a spiteful glare. She's not my Mom, never was, never will. A good Mom wouldn't leave one of their sons all alone to have an amazing adventure at their dream vacation spot while he's forced to sulk and fight villains without his powers or weapons which she stole. Della lowers her eyebrows in guilt. To think I was nice to her after she saved me, makes me wanna puke. She's already dead to me.
The McDuck family, especially Della all gasp in shock with what Louie just said. Della feels her heartbreak as she looks down in guilt and sadness, close to crying. Beakely gets angry and the rest look at Della in sorrow.
Merlock: Merlock laughs. How does it feel to hear your own son reject you like that Della?
Della: Louie, I-I-I…I…
Glomgold: It's no matter. You still cannae defeat us my former caddy. The results are going to be the same as in the manor. And let's not forget there's no point in even trying to fight anymore! Thanks to your idea of combining our resources I have won the bet! He annoys the villains by bragging in their faces as he walks. Now I have Scrooge's money, and your money… He pushes Karnage away. I don't need any of you! He dives into the chest of gold. I AM THE RICHEST DUCK IN TH WORLD! I'M UNSTOPPABLE! I'M FLINTHEART GLOMGOLD!
Glomgold gives of a crazed, maniacal laughter as he showers inside the treasure of gold only to be countered when Louie mockingly gives off his own evil laugh.
Louie: Yup! Flintheart Glomgold won. His name is on all the paperwork. He crosses his arms next to the barrier. Only, your name's not really Flintheart Glomgold. It's…
He gestures to Scrooge who's hit with realization along with Glomgold.
Scrooge & Glomgold: Duke Baloney!
Glomgold is shocked; he used his fake name instead of his real one to sign the contract as Louie gets in front of the barrier
Louie: "Flintheart Glomgold" is a fake identity. He points to Scrooge then to the villains. So all your money, all your money and all your money goes to your new partner who is… hold on one sec, just let me check right here.
He gets out another contract and opens it up.
Louie: Oh, right: ME! He shows his name signed above Glomgold. Always read the fine print, trademark, Louie Duck.
Glomgold takes the contract in outrage while Della and Scrooge smile proudly at Louie.
Glomgold: What!? But that was my scheme! I got the family together! I was gonna steal their money from them after I won! I… He hears growling and turns to see his angered allies behind him. …Can explain.
Magica: Let me get this straight, you lost all of our fortunes and then lost it all to A CHILD!
Big Time: I WISH I NEVER HAD A NEW PA!
Big Time runs around crying his eyes out while Ma Beagle smacks and disorientates the traitorous leader.
Ma Beagle: You scared him for life! That's my job.
The comically dizzied Glomgold bumps into Bouncer and ducks a punch sent by Burger who shouts in pain when he smashes his thick-skinned brother. Glomgold then bumps into Karnage who points his sword in rage.
Karnage: How could you betray us after such a dramatic speech about family!
Glomgold blocks a slice and backsteps before tossing his cane in the sky pirates face to disorientate him. Merlock then has him at blade point too.
Merlock: You traitorous little worm! You dare to betray us and make an enemy out of Merlock. YOU WILL DIE FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!
Glomgold blocks a couple of slashes before stunning Merlock by tossing his cane in his face.
Beaks: Face Punch App!
Beaks is accidentally punched by his own virtual fist and comically lands on his butt.
Beaks: Oh, selfie mode.
Magica: You've made a powerful enemy! I have enough hatred in my heart for too Scottish billionaires!
Magica tackles Glomgold to the ground comically clawing and punching him while the McDuck family cringe. Glomgold's crown is sent flying away/
Scrooge: Should we…do something?
Magica accidentally rips out his fake beard as he scoots back.
Louie: Eh, it'll take care of itself.
The villains approach Glomgold as he steps to the edge with a new beard placed. His angered Clan about to kill him, Glomgold jumps off, comically bouncing off a ledge before screaming down into the water. He emerges swimming and shaking his fist.
Glomgold: CURSE YOU EVERYONE!
The villains all turn their anger now on Louie who slyly has his hands in his pocket.
Merlock: So, in the manor you provoked us with that idea of yours in order to secure your uncle's victory.
Magica: You set us up!
Louie: I sure did, and you losers were gullible enough to fall for it.
Karnage: What about our threat to your love?
Big Time: And the pain we dished out. Was this part of your counter-scheme too?
Louie: Nope. The pain and you threatening Lena were things I hoped to avoid but my idiot Mom caused it all to happen.
Beaks: How'd you know it would all turn out this way?
Louie: Simple. I knew Flintheart's true name was Duke Baloney from the start. So by tricking him into signing the contract with me with his alias all the money would go to me since he didn't use his real name. That kind of flaw is easy to spot…when you're able to see all the angles like I can.
Della widens her eyes at 'angles'.
Kingdom Hearts 2 – 1000 Heartless Battle Music
Merlock: Very well played. But you've just made the biggest mistake of your life. He crosses his blades.
Magica: By taking all of our fortune you've just made yourself at top of our to-kill list in order to take it all back. She holds out her staff.
Karnage: No one steals the treasure of the fierce ruler of the skies, Don Karnage! He points his sword.
Ma Beagle swings her handbag. Louie summons his Golden Khopesh by his side and gets into his battle stance.
Dewey: Go Louie!
Della: Be careful…
Scrooge: Don't worry, lass. He'll be alright this time.
Party Members:
Louie Duck
Information: Defeat Clan Glomgold!
Ma Beagle: Get him boys!
The Beagle Boys and Mark Beaks charge Louie first with roars. But Louie inhales and when they get inches away he releases an incredibly loud lion roar at the four of them, stopping them in place and making them scream in fear as they run like cowards back into the Iron Vulture.
Louie: 5 down, 4 to go.
He hands and khopesh flare up with magical power before he charges Merlock's team with a battle cry. Merlock and Magica unleash energy beams but Louie cancels them out by slicing the air to unleash an energy blade. Don Karnage runs forth to slice him only for Louie to flip above and slide across the ground, evading Ma Beagle's handbag swipe and delivering a double kick to her face that knocks her unconscious. Merlock repeatedly thrusts his Ethereal Blades but Louie deflects all of them before swinging left and right and then jumping to deliver a strong drop slice that Merlock struggles against. When he lands on the ground Magica sends out 5 blasts of energy from her staff. Louie ducks, rolls to the side, backflips and deflects the other 2. Magica then swings her staff only for Louie to flip up and kick off of the back of her head.
The sky pirate and two dark mages surround Louie on all sides while he just stands there. They thrust their weapons together only for Louie to disappear much to their shock.
Della: Whoa! Where'd he go!?
Dewey: Look!
They all look up to see Louie had leapt up and is now dropping down, expertly delivering a split kick to Merlock and Magica's faces and when Karnage tries to slice him he spins and leaps like a twister, delivering an energy slice that slashes the sky pirate across the stomach, knocking him out.
The entire McDuck family is in awe as Louie drops to the ground with his claws ready.
Louie: Earth Crusher!
He buries his claws and sends out mounds of erupting earth towards Merlock and Magica. The two of them are sent flying off the main entrance.
Della: WHAT WAS THAT!?
Webby: Part of his lion powers, the ability to use the earth as an ally.
The dark mages fly back on and charge at him. He dismisses his khopesh and lengthens his claws before charging them to. He leaps forward to cross slice both mages, pushing them back and tearing their clothes a little. He then deliver multiple claw slashes that they're barely able to block before kicking off their faces and re-summoning his khopesh. He struggles to parry their combined strikes and locks weapons with the both of them. Louie is surrounded in green energy and the two mages' were purple.
Louie: You're not gonna get me this time!
He pushes them off and jumps far back before tossing his khopesh and whistling. The two mages summon their barriers and khopesh repeatedly slices them as Louie whistles only to bounce off them in the end and Louie catches it. Merlock and Magica grin.
Magica: Perhaps we can't get you…but what about your family?
Louie's eyes widen in horror and turns to his trapped family. Merlock blasts off towards them.
Louie: NO!
Louie rushes and jumps in between Merlock and his gasping family, the dark wizard smashing his blade across his stomach and making Louie shout in pain as he gets sent flying over him. Then to everyone horror Louie gets impaled beneath his lungs once again.
McDuck Family: LOUIE!
Della: NO! PLEASE! NOT AGAIN!
Louie's face is purple with pain as he whimpers and then Magica appears to thrust her staff in his stomach and the dark mages sadistically electrocute Louie together. The Evil Triplet is screaming in horrible pain and agony once more.
Merlock: This time there'll be nothing left of you to save!
Magica: Oh, I've so wanted to do this ever since the Shadow War! Maybe you'll think twice before letting me leave Greenie! Looks like Lena's magic wasn't able to help after all.
Louie: I wouldn't…be so sure of that…
He clutches and holds up his khopesh which gathers energy that's converted into ball at the tip. He fires close range and the energy ball explodes on Merlock and Magica, sending them flying. He lands on his back in pain clutching his stomach but has the strength to lift his head up with a grin and digs his claw into the ground.
Louie: Earth Crusher…
He sends out a mound of rock so precise it strikes the two talismans. Merlock and Magica shout in pain as they're blown back, landing near Karnage and Ma Beagle.
The barrier that trapped to the McDuck Family disintegrated much to their surprise.
Della: He did it! Louie did it!
The villains all get up and the ones that had run away gathered around. Merlock gasps to see his amulet has been badly damaged once more.
Merlock: My talisman!
Magica looks at the talisman given to her shatter into pieces and her green feathers turn white once more.
Magica: No, not again!
Scrooge: Do you scoundrels really want to continue now?
The McDuck family smirk in offensive stances or cracking their knuckles. The villains all growl and Merlock looks to Louie. He smirks a little.
Merlock: "I've done what I needed to do, anyhow. Llewellyn and Della's' relationship have been broken beyond repair, so I suppose I'm somewhat satisfied. Next time though, they'll be dead." Everyone! Fall back into the Iron Vulture!
Magica: I'll destroy this family sooner or later one day!
Karnage: This isn't over Dewey Duck!
Ma Beagle: I'll get that deed McDuck, even if it's the last thing I do.
The villains all grab their look and escape back into the Iron Vulture which takes off into the sky.
Dewey: Of course when they lose magic they run away.
Launchpad: Wimps!
Scrooge: Ack! It's fine! Let them run away! I've won the bet and we're all still alive! That's what matters.
Della: Della gasps. Wait! What about Louie!?
They all look to Louie bruised, tattered and dishevelled a little lift himself up while using the last of his temporary magic to heal the wound beneath his lungs.
Clan McDuck: LOUIE!
He watches his brothers, sister-figure, mother, great-uncle and friends run over to him. Dewey, Huey and Webby hug onto him exclaiming words of joy.
Dewey: You're alive!
Webby: Thank goodness!
Huey: You were awesome, bro!
Louie: Hey, take it easy! I'm glad you're all okay too, but let's not crush my bones!
They pull back for Scrooge to grab Louie and hold him up proudly.
Scrooge: That was incredible laddie! The way you out-conned Flinty, tricked him into losing the bet and took all my enemies by yourself! Brilliant!
Louie: Uh…thanks Uncle Scrooge…
Beakely: We're extremely relieved you're alright, Louie.
Launchpad: Yeah! Though are you sure you're okay little buddy?
Louie: Louie is set down. I'll live. I've been through worse after all.
Then to his dismay Louie finds himself hugged by Della as much as she possibly could.
Della: Oh, Louie! That was amazing! I'm so proud of you! And I'm so sorry for everything that I did today! Locking you in your room like that, leaving a rogue robot in charge of you, taking away all of your privileges, blocking you from calling Lena, taking away your bracelet and khopesh, everything. I didn't realize that I made you feel like a prisoner in your own room like that. Lena is your love; I had no right to separate you like that. And your bracelet and khopesh were your best means of self-defence. When I took them, I didn't think you'd need them. But our enemies' attacking the mansion was something I never thought of when it should've been one of the first things that crossed my mind. I didn't mean for any of this to happen at all. She pulls back almost tearfully smiling. I promise I'll make it up to-
To Della and everyone's shock Louie pushes her off and she stands to look at his furious and hateful expression.
Tales of Vesperia – Tragic Decision
Louie: DON'T TALK TO ME!
Della: What? Why?
Louie: Because of you I almost died!
Scrooge: Scrooge holds up his hands. Now, lad, let's not get hasty here, Della-
Louie: When are you going to realize that your stupid actions have consequences just as bad as mine did!?
Della: Now Della gets furious and points at him. Excuse me!? You caused the Timephoon and nearly zapped us all out of existence!
Louie: First of all, you were still alive! And second, I regret it! I learned from that. But your stupid punishment didn't help!
Della: You had to be punished!
The entire family could only watch the argument in horror.
Louie: Not the way you handled it! I was only grounded yet you made my room a prison complete with a robot bodyguard who went out of control and nearly killed me and my brothers last year! You caged me in my own room like I was a wild animal…a criminal! You left me all by myself just go on an adventure that I actually wanted to go on! What's more hurtful is that you only checked up on me just so say I haven't earned anything! Della can't help but cringe from the phone call. That is cold beyond all reason and don't you go around saying that it wasn't because it WAS! And you left me vulnerable to all of Uncle Scrooge's enemies! Della contorts with guilt and he points at the family frowning in guilt. ALL OF YOU DID! Just for a stupid bet! You cut off my phone connection to Lena! She's my girlfriend! The love of my life! You have no idea how much help I needed after what you said and did to me! You had no right, whatsoever to do that! And what's more, you stole my khopesh and my friendship bracelet! All I had to fight those villains with were a weak sword and shield. I was completely powerless and vulnerable! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT MERLOCK, MAGICA, GLOMGOLD AND THOSE MANIACS PUT ME THROUGH! THE TORTURE! THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL TORMENT! THE SUFFERING! I ALMOST GOT KILLED AND IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT BECAUSE YOU LEFT ME DEFENCELESS! You thought you were teaching me a lesson but instead you just left me to die!
Della: Now Della is clasping her hands beggingly. Louie, I'm so sorry! I didn't know that was gonna happen! I never meant to do that to you! I didn't think that-!
Louie: And it's not just that! You yelled at me and embarrassed me in front of everyone, including Gyro and Launchpad instead of talking to me alone like a decent parent! You even slapped me right in front of everyone! You humiliated me! Della looks at the hand she used to slap Louie after the Timephoon.
(Flashback)
Della: Your little scheme to bypass the present almost cost us our future! This all stops now! You are GROUNDED! This word coming from his mother horrified Louie. No schemes! No treasures! And Louie Incorporated is done! Understand!?
Louie reels back, completely hurt that his mother is punishing him shortly after coming back without even having spent time with him, knowing the kind of person he is and taking away his dream. He proceeds to apologise and beg for a chance of redemption.
Louie: Look, let me clean up, okay! Uncle Scrooge! Mrs B, come on!
Scrooge and Beakely looks away in sadness, feeling that Louie needs this in order to learn.
Louie: Dewey, Huey, Webby! Say something! She can't do this to me!
The kids all look down in sadness, not knowing what to do. Della points upstairs without giving him a chance.
Della: To…your…ROOM!
Louie: Louie's on the verge of tears. Mom, I'm sorry! I really am! I never meant for this to happen! Please, give me a chance!
Della: No! No chances! TO YOUR ROOM, NOW!
Louie: BUT MOM! I-!
In an act of anger, irritation, cruelty, horrible and ruthless parenting and lack of thinking Della outright slaps Louie in his face as hard she could, causing Dewey, Scrooge and the rest to gasp in utter shock and horror as Louie falls on his back.
A horrified Gyro awkwardly hides in the Timetub.
Della gasps in horror and self-disgust realizing what she's just done to her own son. Louie gets up in pain, turns back to look at his Mom, rubbing the side of his face which is red. Della can see the tears welling up in his eyes and his beak trembling. She is close to crying too but it wasn't enough to sway her and she resumes her angered look, pointing back up.
Della: Go to your room…now Louie…
Louie: Bu-
Della: She shouts at the top of her lungs. I SAID GO! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT!
(End of Flashback)
Looking back at that day Della realizes she never bother apologizing and seeing the effect its had on Louie fills her with sheer guilt/
Louie: I was sorry for what I did and I wanted to fix what I caused because I felt guilty, but you didn't give me a chance! You didn't allow me to have any fun to pass the time at all while I was grounded, further making me feel like I was locked up in a jail! Even good parents let their child have fun while they're grounded! If you thought any of that that was teaching me something, YOU WERE WRONG! All it taught me was that you don't care for how I feel like you do to the others!
Della: But that's not-!
Louie: You said you had to watch my brothers disappear because I wanted a shortcut to riches! Well, guess what!? I watched them disappear too, I watched everyone vanish right before my eyes because of my own selfish mistake! I felt incredibly terrified, guilty, and horrified for what I did! And I take full responsibility for that! You didn't bother seeing how sorry I was! NONE OF YOU DID!
Dewey: Louie, that's not- Webby places a hand on his shoulder.
Louie: I felt so guilty for what I did and all you did was yell at me and made me feel worse! You all plagued my guilt just like what Magica did to Lena, Uncle Donald, and Aunt Daisy! And that hurts just as much as losing my family does!
(Flashback)
Della: I watched your brothers blink out of existence because you wanted a shortcut to riches!
Louie: I said I was sorry!
(End of Flashback)
Della widens her eyes, further realizing she berated Louie on how she had to watch his brothers disappear…but it was worse for Louie because he had to watch everyone disappear because of his actions. She never bothered imagining how bad it felt for him.
Louie: You also ruined my dream! Big Rock Candy Mountain was my dream adventure! The one adventure I would've wanted to go on! Uncle Donald promised we'd go there one day ever since I was 5! But you took that away from me and enjoyed it all for yourselves and that hurts! And Louie Inc. was my dream job! Uncle Scrooge inspired me and I wanted to be a billionaire like him when I grew up, but you shut it down like you don't even care! You just show up out of nowhere and took away all my dreams! Who the heck ruins their child's dream like that?! That doesn't teach anyone anything! You had no right to do that or even ground me!
Della: Della gets furious once more and shouts. Young man I am your mother and I will not have you-!
Louie: SHUT UP! The family gasps and Della is silenced and speechless. If it were Uncle Donald who grounded me for my stunt then I would've accepted it! But he's not here right now and as much I wish to heaven the he was, he isn't! Scrooge or Beakely should've been the ones to punish me, not you! You had no right! You barley even know who I am and yet you think you can just have authority over me since you laid me and my brothers when we were eggs! But you know nothing about me and just think I'm a bad kid who doesn't care! Well this "bad kid" has a heart that you stabbed! You're the worst thing that ever happened in my life!
Everyone gasps and Della feels her heart breaking once more. Some of them become angry.
Scrooge: Lad! Calm down!
Dewey: How can you say that?!
Huey: What is wrong with you?!
Webby: She's your Mom!
Beakely: See here young man-!
Out of all of them Launchpad is the only sane individual.
Launchpad: Everyone, be quiet! Don't make it worse!
Della: Della is close to crying out tears. Sweetie...please...y-you don't mean that...!
Louie: Well I mean this! I WISH YOU NEVER CAME BACK FROM THE MOON! I WISH YOU WERE STUCK THERE FOREVER!
Everyone gasps louder than ever and Della practically feels her heart shatter into a million pieces with tears welling up in her eyes from her youngest sons heartbreaking words.
Scrooge: Lad!
Beakely: How dare you speak to her like that!
Dewey: You take that back!
Huey: Stop being so mean!
Webby: What is wrong with you?!
Owlson: Oh boy…
Owlson who had regained consciousness hid behind the money metre again. Launchpad, while shocked at Louie's words, glares angrily at the others who don't even seem like they're listening to what Louie's saying.
Launchpad: SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU! YOU'RE ONLY MAKING THE SITUATION WORSE!
Everyone is shocked to see Launchpad silencing them. Louie angrily turns to Scrooge and Beakely.
Louie: And you two! You both just stood there and let her punish me like that! I told you all that I was sorry! Guilt was clutching my heart the moment you were all zapped away! And you two just let it happen! And don't think I'll forget Beakely that you were the one who suggested that she takes my bracelet.
Scrooge and Beakely look down in almost tearful guilt. He then turns to Huey, Dewey, and Webby.
Louie: And I can't believe that the three of you did nothing either! You just stood there and didn't stand up for me! I stepped up for you guys every time in the past and you just let her get away with what she did to me! the kids look down guilt-ridden and he focuses on his brothers. And I can't believe you two wouldn't stand up for your brother! We've had each others' backs ever since we were little and when I really need you, you guys let me down. But I guess I should've seen that coming since you guys loved a Bigfoot more than me!
Huey and Dewey are taken aback, but remember he's referring to when they said they love Gavin more than him last year.
Huey: Louie, we didn't mean it like that!
Dewey: Yeah, we were just joking!
Louie: Yeah, well those jokes made your own brother feel like a monster that isn't loved by anyone! If you knew what that thing really was you'd be heartbroken as I am right now!
Louie turns back to Della who is this close to crying tears.
Louie: When you saved my life from the Gilded Man, I was willing to give you a chance, a chance that included love, respect, and appreciation... but now... you lost all of it. You didn't deserve it. You never spent time with me and didn't even get to know me as if I didn't exist. Donald always took care of us! He fed us, clothed us and housed us for 10 years! All you did was abandon us for a stupid joyride in a rocket! Uncle Donald may have bad luck, but at least he thinks before he speaks, actually thinks of his family first, and does a proper job! You have no idea what every single one of us were put through because of your selfishness! Uncle Donald's my father, the only parent I know. You're just a stranger who entered our lives without warning!
Tears begin to drop from Della's eyes as Louie's ruthless and heartbreaking words were crushing her emotionally and she feels like she's on the verge of a heart attack.
Della: Louie, I-
Louie: Don't Louie me! You're always saying you want to be a good mom, well here's an idea: Why don't you remember we haven't had a mom for 10 years! So you can't just expect to be a part of our lives after you abandoned us for so long! I refuse to accept some stranger who I've only met for a couple of weeks having authority over us and making judgements when you barely even know us. Also, next time you ground me, how about... YOU DON'T TREAT ME LIKE A CRIMINAL!
What Louie says next is what changes things for Della forever.
Louie: Until then... we may be related... but I am not your friend or your SON and you're not my MOM! I hate you… DELLA!
Della's eyes widen and her heart shatters into tinier pieces. Her beak is widened in heartbreak and it feels like she's been stabbed in the gut. He called her by her first name. He no longer considered her his mother…he hates her…Della feels the tears now gushing out of her eyes while everyone had their beaks wide open in horror with what Louie said as the rain poured on them. No one could speak.
Louie: Don't you ever touch my friendship bracelet or my khopesh again! He then looks to Huey and Dewey. And not only do I no longer have a Mom but I no longer have brothers either.
Huey and Dewey are hurtfully taken aback.
Huey: What…?
Dewey: But-but, Louie we're your brothers.
Louie: Not anymore! Brothers stick by each other! They stand up for each other through thick and thin but you two didn't do that at all when I needed you most. You ditched me to go on my dream vacation without me! I'm done with this whole Duck Boys group! We're no longer brothers anymore!
Now it's Dewey and Huey's turn for their hearts to shatter. Their beaks were widen open as they feel tears well up in their eyes.
Webby: Louie! HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT!? THEY'RE YOUR BROTHERS!
Louie: WERE my brothers!
He looks to everyone giving him concerned looks. None of them are angry anymore. They just feel sorry or guilty. Then he gives Della's heartbroken expression one last hateful look.
Louie: I'll never forgive you. I'm going home!
He turns his back and proceeds to take his leave only for Della to grab his shoulder in desperation.
Della: Louie, please! I'm sorry! I truly am sorry! Please don't turn your back on me like this!
Louie: You never accepted my apologies after the Timephoon. Why should I accept yours? Consider this a good dose of karma.
Della: But Louie-!
In a fit of rage Louie roars and turns to slash his claws across Della's cheeks. She shouts in pain and hits her back hard. One by one, Dewey, Huey, Scrooge, Webby, Beakely and Launchpad gasp at the display of violence they just saw.
Dewey & Huey: Mom!
Webby: Aunt Della!
Scrooge: Lass! Are you alright!
They all try to help her up and when Della's head is lifted up she's groaning in pain, clutching her cheek and reveals to Louie the red claw mark he created. Louie has beak wide open, horrified with what he has just done to his own mother. He's close to tears but it took remembering everything he's been through to make him resume his angry expression and brings up his green furred hood. Della's tears gush out and everyone looks at Louie in fear and horror.
Louie: Now you know how I felt. I'm gone.
Louie jumps off the edge and lands on the bridge. He limps across it, holding his shoulder to head for home and ignores the calls of his family.
Scrooge: Louie, wait!
Huey: Come back, Louie!
Dewey: We can figure something out!
Webby: Louie, please, we can help you!
Beakely: Louie!
Launchpad: Maybe it's best that we give him some time alone to figure stuff out.
They then hear sobbing and turn to look Della on both her knees crying hysterically and tears gushing out of her eyes down her heartbroken face. She sobs uncontrollably and everyone can't help but feel sorry and the anger felt towards her and Beakely vanished.
(Flashback)
Della looks back on when they were kids after their parents funeral.
Della: If it hadn't been for you, Mom and Dad wouldn't have had to risk their lives and they'd still be here! This is all your fault! She pushes Donald and now he's the one getting angry.
Donald: Well it's not like I wanted to get them killed! It's not like I got captured by the Beagle family on purpose! He points at himself with his thumb. How do you think I'm feeling right now!?
Della: That's the thing! You only care about yourself! You ran away just to spite our Daddy!
Donald: That's a dirty rotten lie! You don't even know why I really ran away in the first place!
Della: Well I don't even want to know! Because we're done! Mom and Dad shouldn't have been the one to die…it should've been you! Not them! YOU!
(End of Flashback)
And now it's happened again.
Scrooge: Della…
Dewey: Mom…you okay…?
Della: NO! I'M NOT OKAY! My gosh, what have I done...?! WHAT HAVE I DONE!? She clutches her hair so tightly she could pull them out. I-I can't believe I did that! I treated my son so horribly and I'VE BROKEN HIM, I TREATED HIM LIKE A CRIMINAL, CAGED HIM LIKE A WILD ANIMAL, CUT OF HIS CONNECTIONS TO HIS LOVE LIFE AND NOW HE HATES ME! I'VE MADE HIM GO THROUGH SUFFERING NO KID SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH! I-I ABANDONED HIM AND HE ALMOST DIED AT THE HANDS OUR WORST ENEMIES... I COULD DO NOTHING BUT WATCH HIM BE TORTURED AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT! I'M SUCH A HORRIBLE MOTHER! HOW COULD I DO THIS TO MY YOUNGEST SON?! HOW COULD I BE SUCH A HORRIBLE PERSON?! Louie…I'm sorry…I'M SO SORRY!
She drops down crying her eyes out and the rest could feel their eyes welling up with tears too. In an act of self-hatred Della runs inside towards the entrance and Scrooge reaches out for her,
Scrooge: Della-!
Beakely and Launchpad place their hands on his shoulders, nodding solemnly to state there's nothing they can do but to leave her alone to let it all out. Scrooge could only watch his favourite niece run past Owlson who comes out of hiding to watch her in sorrow.
Dewey and Huey watch their youngest brother limping off in the distance. Huey drops down hugging his knees and burying his head to cry.
Huey: We really are the worst brothers ever…
Dewey could only look on crying to. Webby comes up to him and the he hugs his girlfriend for comfort. Webby returns it and they both cry over the events that have transpired.
Scrooge: Bless me bagpipes…it's the Cloudslayer all over again.
Della was running up the stairs, her arms pressed against her eyes as she cries.
(Flashback)
Della: I'm not the one who ran away just because I wanted to spite our father!
Donald: Do not…tell me what I want!
Della: I don't need to tell you what you want; it's obvious!
Donald: You were the one who wanted adventure and to take your anger out on me and I JUST WANTED A SISTER!
After punching Della and letting out his emotion Donald takes her scarf.
Donald: You don't deserve this scarf! I brought it! Just leave me alone Della! Leave me alone like you always have!
Donald runs off into one of the caves crying and sobbing hysterically, leaving Della to get on her knees tearfully contemplate the wedge she has created between her and her bother.
Della: Donald…The tears heavily stream down her face and she sobs quietly. Donnie… what have I done…? I'm so sorry…I'm so sorry…Donald…
Della's crying and sobbing become louder as she drops her face to the ground.
(End of Flashback)
Della was now inside the bin itself sitting and leaning against the valve in the darkness while tightly hugging her knees as she cries and sobs hysterically like a child.
Della: Donald…Donnie…please come back! I need you! I-I-I've messed everything up. I've ruined everything…again!
(Flashback)
Della: You took off in the contraption without thinking of the consequences or the people you would hurt!
Louie hurt and outraged with his mother's unwillingness to forgive him.
Louie: I wonder who I got that from.
(End of Flashback)
That sentence kept echoing inside her head louder and now she practically clutches her hair shouting and crying in agony.
She continues crying for a long time. Della has just realized the misuse of her authority, one that she no claim over Louie in the first place due to only being around for a few weeks. She slapped, grounded, abandoned and took a lot of things from her youngest son and now she's paying the price for it. Only now does she realize how too far she went in punishing Louie by turning his room into a prison and her actions almost killed Louie today. Things are worse than ever between Louie and Della, their relationship is broken beyond repair and there's no Donald to help fix it.
Lunaris sits on his throne viewing the events that took place, using the power of the Mind stone to create magical windows that have allowed him chuckle at Della and Louie's agony with sadistic glee.
Lunaris: It looks like Della is failing to be a good mother and Llewellyn is failing to be a good son. Perhaps I can use this to give my army the edge and use it to my advantage. And this will be the key...
He looks at the Mind Stone, a scheme coming in mind.
Lunaris: You're not the only one who can scheme Llewellyn Duck.
