Ok ok, I was really sick. My head was killing me and my sight was fuzzy. I felt like throwing up and my body was so weak I was barely able to go up the stairs. I'm a lot better now but I still feel it a little bit. So sorry for the short chapter and delay in "Today for You". I wanted to finish that 3 shot a week ago but hollymolly my headache got worse and I couldn't even walk. My mom got super concerned when she saw how much I was sleeping. I'm usually awake by 4 or 6 am but now it's 8 and 10. Thankfully I feel like I'm fully recovered and I'll be back to sleeping well and waking up at 5 am like I always do. And what's this I hear about Jordan making a face reveal? You are trying to stand me up man! Nah kidding. It reminded me about a year ago when I wanted to make a face reveal but never found a reason to. You know what, if I reach over 300 reviews, who knows? I also recommend rereading chapter 5 for this chapter.

Disney Boy - oh you have no idea. And crossing the line inspired a scene, it's not a confirmed song.

Ninjatana Warrior - You sure I'm doing good? I'm seeing double of everything right now. Since when did I have 6 sisters besides 3? Just kidding, you're almost at 100 and once you do make it, WELCOME TO OUR CLUB! WELCOME OUR CLUB! And there's more to Abigor and Lizzette. Remember, they were being watched by the villains very closely.

Unknown - I remember reading that! And who says it wasn't HERO? And we'll just have to wait and see how everything turns out.

Angelwings2002 - I actually wrote the lyrics to this song to the beat to Into the Unown from Frozen 2. And yeah, I'm going within that trait where erasing memories has a huge consequence.

Guest - It's ok, my writing isn't for everyone. I just have a really strong passion for theater. And yes, something big. And I always saw Della as the playful jokester no matter how old she gets. And originally, the couple was nameless, but since people shipped me and Jordan, I couldn't pass up that opportunity. XD.

therealjordan23 - Love you too mi rey and your welcome. And I wrote Abigor and Lizzette to be very secretive and complex will only leave you guessing. They are prideful, spoiled but not heartless. And you have to wait about Vi and Huey.

GiddyReflections - Again, they are very secretive and complex charters. It will take multiple explanations to get their full back story. And maybe it was and maybe it wasn't HERO.

dalek117 - I can't respond anymore cause I'll only give spoilers.

Jpbake - I was thinking of doing that but decided on another route. You'll see what I mean.

Lilbree - Here you go! Dewey is Dewey, he'll mess up somehow. XD.

Dewdrop - Thanks for the questions!

AJ - You too, thanks, it was fun!

Unknown - Spoiler

RANDOM - Welcome over here. I admit the ones at Jordans do tend to get wild. XD

LunaWolf44 - I always saw Dewey as the type to confront anyone. And thanks, Huey as evil is something that makes sense. He's the most innocent. As for Lizzetts personality, think of Giselle from Enchanted or Anna from Frozen. That was her original personality. And I haven't heard the song but I'll check it out soon.

"So you want the truth?" Abigor was leading them back into his and Lizzette room.

"Everything," Louie spat out. Abigor just groaned in annoyance and pulled out a couple journals along with potions.

"So what do you want to know about?" He asked as he continued to take out items.

"Love potion, why you made it, what is up with Lizzett, why are you so cruel and evil?" Lena felt like she had a list longer than Santas.

"So…. From the beginning?" Abigor raised a brow at this.

"If that's what it takes to get answers," Lena shrugged and leaned against the table. Abigor took a deep breath in and thought for a while.

"It all started when we were kids…." Abigor began.

"Whoa, we wanted you to start when you got involved with the villains, not your life story," Louie interrupted right away.

"You want answers or not?" Abigor glared at them. Louie put up his hands to signify he surrendered to his life story.

"As I was saying, it starts when we were kids, Lizzette had a mother who was the sweetest of all mothers," Abigor pulled out a journal that belonged to Lizzette. He opened it to show drawings and pictures of a beautiful duck dressed up like a goddess, "She took care of Lizzette like every good mother should. She lived happily with her family for 15 years and she was the best aunt I ever had. It wasn't until one day, Lizzetts father began to get into financial problems. Because of this, her mother left for a wealthier family, on her 15th birthday. Ever since, Lizzette has only become more bitter everyday."

Louie and Lena looked down at the writing in the journal. It was true, the page that dated Lizzettes birthday had a paragraph all about how her mother abandoned her for a wealthier family. Louie's eye's ran through a line that caused an awfully familiar feel to him. Living without a loving mother is the worst pain any child has to face. Knowing she loved something else more than you and left you for it. Leaving you to wonder if she's ever coming back.

"Ok but this is no excuse for everything she did to us! You think a sob story is just going to make us forget how cruel you two were to us?" Louie shook off those lines and glared at Abigor.

"You really think we're that cruel huh?" Abigor shook his head.

"You…."

"Yeah yeah yeah, we put you under a love potion, we attacked you blah blah blah. But do you even have the slightest idea why we did?" He asked, a sting of guilt hitting his tone.

"We know you villains all too well. You never change, you never better yourselves, you just enjoy other people's suffering," Lena snapped at him.

"I joined the villains first, and Lizzette got sucked in because of me!" Abigor suddenly blurted out. This sentence shut the two up, leaving them wide eyed. Once Abigors heavy breathing lighten up, he spoke, "I dragged Lizzette into this and….. It's my fault she's the way she is now. You know….. all her potions have the same effect on the consumer if taken more than needed."

"Dewey told us, something about sucking your heart dry?" Louie tried to remember.

"Meaning the consumer will never feel loved or love ever again," Abigor took another deep breath, behaving like he was about to dive head first into a pool of pain, "It pained me so much to see Lizzette in so much despair from her mother leaving. I encouraged her to take a forget me not potions….. It was just supposed to be a one time thing but when she got her memories back she felt even worse so I let her make another one…."

"And she kept getting her memory back," Louie concluded. Abigor sadly nodded yes.

"After the fourth time she became addicted. I tried to stop her but after 3 months she's already taken at least 20 cups of it….. and I myself took a couple….. And each time we did it only decreased the love in our hearts."

Louie took time to let these words sink in. Basically, Lizzette and Abigor have been juging down potions to forget their problems, and each time they got their memories back their hearts felt heavier. Lena glanced at the forget me not potion and picked it up. She held it up and looked at it closely. Light blue and sparkly. It looked so innocent and beautiful in the light, like you'll be in internal bliss if you just took a sip of it.

"Why would you get addicted to this….. thing?" Lena asked.

"We couldn't take the pain anymore. When I saw our hearts only had 1% of love left I restrained her from taking it again. Hiding the ingredients and recipe to make it. Because just one more sip and our hearts would've been heavier than stone…." Abigor gulped down hard. While tears weren't forming, the two could see he was trying hard not to cave in.

"Ok…. I guess that makes sense….. but you still had Webby under a love spell!" Lena argued.

"Not at first," Abigor shook his head, surprising everyone, "I really liked Webby when I first met her. She was so beautiful and so full of positive energy. I just had to have a girl like that in my life. After two weeks, I was able to feel my heart start to fill up with love little by little. But Lizzette was still cold hearted. It pained me so much to see her like this that I…. I just had to make a deal with Magica."

"You what!?" Lena's voice nearly shook the room. Abigor backed away and put up his hands like he was surrendering.

"Let me explain!" Abigor swallowed his fear, "She promised me that if we helped them with their plan, she'll heal Lizzette with a spell that'll allow her to forget her pain forever. But the deeper we got in, the more we regretted, and the more we regretted the more she took."

"This is no excuse for attacking us at the dance," Louie shouted at him.

"Magica is always watching us. We had to keep up a tough cruel persona," Abigor said.

"Some acting," Louie scoffed.

"So I have a horrible temper, that doesn't mix well with the potion sucking up my heart dry. I was mad at the dance because you put Webby in danger! You ruined our plan!" Abigor shouted.

"Put Webby in…. We would never," Louie snapped back.

"You broke the love potion! You weren't supposed to do that. I kept her under the spell to keep her safe!" Abigor admitted.

"Safe? How is that safe?" Lena joined in the argument.

"Magica! She keeps her eye on us at all times to make sure we don't step out of line. Webby wasn't a target because she was under the spell. As long as she was under the spell, they would have left her alone. Now that it's broken, she's on top of their list to attack!"

"You don't make a deal with a witch of shadows!" Lena was swinging her arms everywhere in distress. She was just about ready to tear out all her hair as she spoke even louder, "She cheats! She's a liar!"

"Wouldn't you do anything for your family?" Abigor interrupted her. Lena finally shut her beak but her body was still tense from anger and fear, "If your family was in trouble, wouldn't you do anything to make them happy and safe. Even if it was at the cost of someone else's life?"

"I wouldn't go that extreme," Louie added in on the last part.

"But wouldn't you?" Abigor said, a little more demanding. Louie sighed in defeat and gave a small nod.

"Of course, I love my family. But ruining another family is far from the right thing to do," Louie added in.

"Well we tried to help you!" Abigor said.

"Help? Help? Help how?" Lena demanded to know.

"Your dreams! That's how!" Abigor revealed. Lena took a step back at this. Her eyes suddenly widening before lowering to a glare.

"What do you know about dreams?" She said almost sinister like. Abigor grabbed another potion from the desk and showed it to her.

"Nightmares, more like it. And who do you think was giving you those nightmares?" He asked. Lena glanced at the potion in his hands before looking at Abigor.

"You're out of your mind," Lena shook her head in disbelief, "You have no connection to my nightmares in any way…"

"Your very first nightmare was about you running in the woods in a foggy night right?" Abigor told her shocking the shadow girl. This was enough to confirm he was right, "And the boat sinking, that happened before the ship sank. And then the one with Webby waking up in the hospital hearing a voice."

"How do you know all this?" Lena said in a half whisper, feeling her head spinning from all this.

"I gave them to you. My father was named after one of our ancestors, Thanatos God of Death, because he's a direct descendent of his blood. Meaning I have easy access to his side of the family tree. Thanatos brothers were Oneiroi, symbol of dreams, and Hypnos, personification of sleep. After doing some studies on my great uncles, I was able to get Lizzette to create a potion that replicated their powers."

Lena just shook her head at this, not believing a single word from his mouth.

"You're an idiot thinking I'll buy that," Lena said, glaring at him suspiciously. Abigor took a sip from the potion in his hands and patted on Lizzettes bed. Lena raised a brow and looked at him confused.

"Sleep," He said.

"What? Why?" Lena backed away from this situation.

"You don't believe me, sleep. Then you will," He clarified. Lena looked at his body language and eyes. Searching for even a sign of a lie. Nothing.

"This is stupid," She rolled her eye's and laid down.

"Believe me, it's not," Abigor hopped on his bed and closed his eyes, "Louie, no matter how much Lena squirms or cries out for help, don't wake her up."

"But I…"

"Don't wake her up," Abigor told him again. Louie glanced at Lena with worry.

"It's ok, I've had these nightmares before. I'll be able to handle it." Lena assured him. With that, she relaxed her body and slowly drifted to sleep. Louie could only sit down and wait.

At Duckburg, Dewey was sitting on the sandy beach, trails of tears shining on his cheeks. Next to him, Webby had her head resting on his shoulder, her tearful eyes glued to the setting sun. This would be a romantic scene, with the warm wind gently blowing in their face and hair. But just the sight of the going away party from a distance was enough to drag them down a hole of sorrow and heartbreak.

"... again…" Webby kept whispering over and over. Sounding like she was in pain and couldn't breath through her light sobs. This was the day the triplets left all over again. The day Dewey had to say goodbye to her for what she thought would be forever.

"... Why…." Dewey held onto Webbys hand as tight as he could. Knowing this was going to be the last time he ever gets to be with the adventurous girl. He knew he had to leave at some point, he knew he had to leave Webby, but he didn't know it had to be so soon. He didn't expect this to hurt as much as it did. His heart getting torn apart and his mind feeling like it was spinning so fast he was going to faint. They didn't want to say goodbye just yet.

"Is everything ok?" They heard an unfamiliar voice behind them. Webby was the one who looked behind them while Dewey didn't even dare look at anyone with his face like this.

"Hi…." Webby tried to sound cheery as usual but the sadness in her voice was enough to crack it. Behind them was a blue green bird with dark eyes. He had a warm smile and a friendly image to him. His clothes were a combination of a silky gold shirt and blue jeans that were sprinkled with glitter that shined gold in the sun.

"Who are you?" Dewey said coldly. His eyes still glaring at the sea. This was the water they were going to travel through, the same one that was going to take them away from their home.

"I noticed you two were rather upset," the blue bird said in a gentlemen like tone, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"What do you care if we're upset or not?" Dewey snapped. Webby gave him a light punch to the shoulder and whispered to be polite. The blue bird scratched the back of his neck and gave a shy smile.

"Ok ok, you got me. I'm a Woodchucker you see, and I'm seeking to get my emotional support badge." He confessed. Dewey scoffed it off while Webby looked down in sadness.

"There's nothing you can do to help us," Webby said, almost whispering.

"Try me," the blue bird sat down behind them and gave Webby a friendly and empathetic smile. The pink dressed duck took a deep breath in and tried to speak but nothing seemed to come out. The bluebird glanced over at the party then back at them, "Anything to do with the party?"

"Kinda," Webby said, her eyes beginning to tear up. The blue bird took another glance at the party.

"I'm guessing it's not a good one," he assumed. Webby shrugged and spoke.

"It's a going away party," the blue bird nodded at her words and leaned back.

"So someone close to you is moving huh. I can definitely say I know that feeling all too well," the bluebird began, "I remember a time when I separated from loved ones for over 7 years. Some heartless family came in and meddled with everything I had and took away everything I had. Is there anything you want to get off your chest?"

At the party, the sun was just setting and the beach was decorated with tables and party decorations. Dots of lights decorating on poles and the houseboat. The docs were filled with friends who came to wish the family best wishes on their trip back to Cape Suzette.

"Do you think it's safe to travel back at midnight? It's rather dark to travel," Drake asked the family.

"It's our best shot if we want to leave unnoticed," Donald confirmed, "Besides, I've traveled in the dark plenty of times. I know the seas pretty well."

"If you think that's best," Drake shrugged. Goslayn and Honker were standing nearby, their eyes glued to the ocean.

"Do you think they made it to Inthaquak?" Honker asked.

"No doubt in my mind they did," Gosalyn said in an icey cold tone, not taking her eyes off of the ocean for even a second. Her face emotionless, her eyes have gone dark. Honker nearly jumped when Gosalyn suddenly took a sharp turn. She stormed off the doc and marched across the sand. "We'll have to work fast."

Honker followed his friend to Daisy who was having a talk with Della. Goslayn cleared her throat and her eye's and body language suddenly had life to it.

"Hello Miss D. Would you know where I can find Dewey?" She asked in an excited tone, "I have a gift that he'll just adore!"

"Dewey? I haven't seen him actually," Della confessed. Her voice shaking at the mention of Dewey.

She looked all over the mansion and it took them a good 3 hours to find the blue triplet trying to escape over the gate. Scrooge pulled him back down and demanded to know why running away was even an option to him. What did he say?

"It's not fair. They bring us here for nothing!" Dewey claimed. He had been spilling out everything he felt for the couple minutes, "They took us away 7 years ago to protect us, I get it, but what's safer then the house of Scrooge Mcduck? All the magic force fields, we have a literal demon butler….."

"And yet it still got broken into by a group of villains led by Magica De Spell," Webby sighed in sadness.

"Wasn't it Glomgold that was leading it?" Dewey tried to remember. Webby simply shrugged, not in the mood of thinking too hard. Dewey let out a loud sigh and held into her even tighter "It's not fair. They take us away without having any say in it, bring us back and then take us away again without us having a say! Don't we matter enough to be included?"

There was a small pause of pure silence. The blue bird was holding an empathetic look, showing he understood them well. He placed a hand over Deweys shoulder and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Sounds to me like they don't believe that you are capable of taking care of yourself," He said. Dewey spun around to look at him.

"Exactly! They don't think I can do anything by myself! I've faced the sunken city of Atlantis! I've fought Ra the Sun God! I am the chosen one of Mount Peligroso! I can handle a little love potion, and fire demon duck! Why can't they see that? Why can't they just let us stay here and prove ourselves?" Deweys monologue toned down at the end. His face slowly melting from anger to sadness and disappointment. He slowly turned to the party and noticed the adults were looking for them. Dewey sighed again and was about to stand up.

"Maybe you will soon," the blue bird suddenly spoke up making them freeze in their spots, "If I had to give you advice on this, I say don't be afraid of taking chances. If you see your opportunity to prove yourself, take it without hesitation."

Dewey gave a small smile at these words while Webby felt uneasy. As Dewey helped Webby up, she spoke up.

"Like what?" She asked. The blue bird's eyes shot away from Dewey back to her.

"Pardon?" He asked for her to clarify.

"What can he do to prove himself?" She repeated with more clarification.

"Hmmm, good question," The blue bird looked down in deep thought and picked himself up, "You mentioned something about villains right?"

"Yeah, Magica, Lunaris, Glomgold," Dewey listed for him.

"So who says they might not attack tonight?" The bird said. This made Webbys and Deweys ears perk up, and their eyes widening.

"He's right," Webby gasped, "What is something does happen tonight?"

Dewey didn't show a single sign of fear. Instead, his small smile stayed on his beak and he glanced down at her.

"We'll be there to stop it," Dewey confirmed with a firm nod.

?

"Let me out!" Lena was slamming her fists against a violet colored, gem wall.

Her heart was racing and her chest hurt from how hard it was thumping. She turned around to come face to face with a pink gem wall. She banged her fists against it, trying with all her might to break it. As if they were fighting back, the walls close in on her a bit, making the other walls break from the pressure and shower Lena in specs of gems. Lena threw herself into a blue colored gem wall and tried to break it as well. No luck, it only closed in even more. She looked up to see a green colored gem wall coming down on her. Under her feet was a red colored wall pushing her up. All 6 walls kept coming closer and closer, erasing any space between them and Lena.

"HELP! I'm going to be crushed here!" Lena stomped, kicked and punched but each time only caused more pain to her body. There was no way out, no air to breath, she was trapped, "Someone! Help me!"

The walls pressed against her back and chest. She could hear her bones begin to crack, tears were spilling from her eyes and she couldn't breath.

"Lena!" Louie's voice suddenly woke her up. Lena took a deep breath in and rolled off the bed. Landing on the hard floor on her stomach. At the same time, Abigor woke up, breathing just as heavy.

"What did you do to her?" Louie demanded to know. Abigor looked up to see Louie who looked angry, helping Lena sit back up.

"I showed her what would happen if all her friends got captured," He said.

"What? I was being crushed by walls!" Lena shouted at him.

"And what color were they?" He asked, making Lena think for a while. The fear in her eyes was enough to answer him, "You never paid attention to the dreams did you?"

"What were they even supposed to mean?" Lena asked a little calmer now.

"Well the boat sinking is self explanatory. The one with you running in the forest is supposed to be a warning of what's to come. And the one with Webby was a warning if you break the love potion, she'll be in danger." Abigor tried to explain. Lena looked at him, completely bewildered. Abigor rolled his eyes and spoke again, "The pink liquid represents the love potion. Safe and warm. If she doesn't have the love potion, she'll fall under Merlocks green and cold magic."

"You couldn't just say, hey! Magica is back, we're being forced to work for her, tell Scrooge!" Lena said in an annoyed tone.

"Dreams are complicated," Abigor shrugged.

"I noticed," Lena sarcastically said.

"Merlock?" Louie caught on the name.

"He's…. How should I put this….. Magicas partner in crime. He's trying to collect all pieces of his tialsmen so he can be in his full form. Once he does, he'll be more powerful than any villain you ever faced and attack Mcduck Manor."

He said this rather casually. Louie and Lena looked at the boy like he was the craziest man alive. Their bodies and face like stone with their blinking being the only source of movement.

"You didn't tell us this why?" Louie raised his voice.

"Because they have their…"

"Eyes on you yeah yeah," Lena sat on the bed and let her head fall on the palm of her hand, "So, what we learned today is that Lizzette had parent issues, you encouraged her to take a forget me not potion, you both took too much now your hearts are almost as hard as stone, you had a crush on Webby, got yourself involved with Magica to help your cousin, Merlock and Magica are always spying on you, you kept Webby under a love spell to keep them fooled that you would would break her heart soon so they didn't have to attack, and you would warn me with nightmares before an attack so I was prepared for what was coming…."

Lena said in one big breath. She inhaled deeply, trying to replace any breath she lost, "Did I miss anything?"

"No, you pretty much got it down," Abigor nodded.

"Why are you so open about this now?" Louie asked suspiciously.

"Magica nor Merlock could hear or see me down here. You either need special permission or are dead to get here." Abigor explained, "We never wanted to be part of this stupid plan. But whenever I tried to back down they would take someone away. My parents are gone, Lizzettes father is gone, I couldn't afford to lose anyone else….. So we continued with the plan while trying to help at the same time….. we never wanted to hurt anyone but if that's what it takes to save my family so be it…."

There was a long pause between every one. This was too much truth for Louie and Lenas taste. All they wanted was a simple answer but they got a full on monologue. Why wasn't life simple? Why couldn't there just be evil and good and not in between? Lena shifted on the bed and without looking at Abigor, she asked.

"What about Huey and Violet? They aren't behaving the same," She asked.

"They're most likely on the other side by now," Abigor said in a low voice.

"Other side?" Louie didn't like the sound of this. Abigor straightened his posture and prepared to spill some more information.

"The gems that we planted on Huey. When he's at his most vulnerable, the gem will transfer his spirit to the other side. Leaving an empty body behind allowing the gem to take over," he explained.

"My brother is where?" This hit Louie harder than a bat to the head, "Where is he? What is the other side?"

"That I don't know," Abigor slowly shook his head, "All I know is that the spirit gems send the spirit to a world where they won't suffer as much anymore. A place where they can feel at peace and never have to worry again."

"So…. Heaven?" Lena said unknowingly.

"You killed him!" Louie shouted and nearly yanked his hair out.

"No no, he's alive. The gems have him in another world and they'll keep him there until either Merlock says they can come back or the gems break." Abigor revealed.

"Why do you assume Violet is in this…. other world?" Lena could barely let out.

"The gems have orders to spread to as many McDucks families and friends they can reach. If Huey has Violet in his hands, he most likely used a love potion on her so he can break her heart later. Once she's heartbroken he'll give her a gem and the gem will transfer her spirit to the other side." Abigor told an even more distressed Lena.

"Violet…" Lena felt like she was about to faint. Her sister was gone, and she had no control over it, "What are we waiting for? We need to go back and break those gems!"

Before Lena and Louie could run off, Abigor blocked the door.

"You can't break the gems physically. They break when the person remembers who they really are," he said.

"What can we do? We're not just going to sit here and hope they remember." Louie argued back. Abigor looked down for a while in deep thought. He stayed like this for a maximum of 30 seconds before his eyes landed on Louies ring.

"You can go after them," he said in almost a whisper. Louie looked down to see Abigor was eyeing his ring. Louie hid his hand in his hoodie pocket and glared at Abigor. Abigor looked at Louie in the eyes, "You need to go after them. You can go to the otherside, find them, and help them remember who they are."

"No way," Louie shook his head and tried to walk past him.

"You want to save your brother? This is how. The gems won't stop until they take over the entire McDuck family and all his allies," Abigor tried to persuade him but Louie huffed and crossed his arms. Abigor groaned at his actions and thought for a while, "You don't trust me, I don't blame you. But I know how these gems work because they come from the underworld."

"What?" Lena didn't understand.

"I gave Magica and Merlock the gems down here because of how sturdy and hard they are. Magica then uses her magic to make the gems enchanted….. Come with me." Abigor led them away from his room and to another cave.

As they went deeper in the cave, they could hear faint cries and moans. But the darkness wasn't completely dark. It was bright with sounds of water dripping filling their ears as they made their way around a gem cave. The sounds almost created a haunting song. Glittering gems in every direction they looked, filling the cave with rainbows of color. All unique with different colors and shapes. Lena ran her fingers across the beautiful gem, feeling their smooth texture.

The music was soft and gentle, lurring them deeper into the cave. The deeper they went, the louder the sounds and the darker the cave became. Fewer gems were seen and without their light, it was almost dark. Deeper and deeper they went, almost hypnotized by the few lights and sounds.

(Song)

Abigor

"They can hear you but they won't,"

A new light filled the cave. Different colored flames forming different silhouettes. They recognized the flames as the shape of their friends and family.

"Some escape the magic, while others don't."

Abigor turned some of the silhouettes green, two of them being Huey and Violet.

"There's a thousand reasons you shouldn't hear my advice.

And ignore our whispers, but you must hear our side."

He made the silhouettes of Huey and Violet wonder around the cave like they were lost.

"They'll hear your voice, but you're a ringing in their ear"

He had the silhouettes move their heads as if they heard something but shrug it off.

"And if you heard them, which you didn't, they're crying help from fear.

Everyone you've ever loved is lost within these walls"

He made the silluhouts disappear. This only left both Louie and Lena nervous.

It's time you faced those dreams without blocking out our calls.

Make them remember, they need a voice that's new,

He led them deeper into the cave where it just became darker and darker.

Their afraid, so let them see, who their meant to be,

When they came to a turn, they came face to face with a cave full of gems, filling their sight with rainbows and streaks of light.

Break the stones of life!

Can you hear their cries?

Come to the other side,

(talk)

"What is it with Greeks and explaining things song?" Louie thought back on the Harp of Nervana.

"Its a passion. So what do you say?" Abigor asked.

"I say its insane. I'm not about to go to this other world, how do I know you won't trap me there?" Louie glared at him.

"Louie I just told you everything you need to know," Abigor said.

"Yeah, and you also said you'll do whatever it takes to save your family and fulfil your part of the deal. How do I know you won't trapped me there?" He argued.

"I'll make sure he doesn't," Lena spoke up. Louie was rather surprised by her sudden cooperation, "I don't like the thought of sending you on the other side either but if it's our only chance in finding our friends…."

Lena couldn't finish her sentence. She didn't know what to say. All she wanted was her sister back and for her friends to come back safe and sound. Louie took a deep breath in and thought about this. He didn't trust Abigor one bit, especially with his reliance on magic, but Lena was different. If she said she would make sure he's safe, then she would keep him safe.

"How do I go to the other side?" Louie asked.

"That ring," Abigor pointed out. Louie glanced down at his hand and glared at Abigor.

"What about it?" He asked.

"That green gem is one of those spirit gems," Abigor revealed.

"No it isn't, Goldie gave it to me before I left Duckburg," Louie argued.

"Perhaps, but did you run into Goldie lately?" Abigor asked, making Louie a lot more suspicious.

"At Dewey's date, why?"

"Did you take off that ring at any moment you were with her?" Abigir asked another question.

"Yes, I let her hold it…"

"It's a spirit gem. Goldie is one of the prisoners and has been under the control of her gem necklace for the past 7 years. She planted that gem on you so when you became vulnerable you'll be a prisoner too." The second he said this, Louie felt a hard punch to his stomach. The Goldie he was with was a fake? And she tricked him?

"How can you be sure?" Louie didn't want to believe this.

"The spirit gems tend to be more transparent than most gems," Abigors told him. He led Louie to a flat piece of rock and laid him down, "But this is great news. With the spirit gem you'll be able to walk into the other side."

"But you said I had to be vulnerable," Louie laid down on the rock bed.

"Vulnerability makes the sprite weak, that's how the gem can drag you down. But if you're willing to go, you can just walk right in."

Louie simply nodded and closed his eyes. He felt Lena hold onto his hand and give him a light squeeze before whispering.

"I know you can do it. Find them and bring them back. I'll be right here," her words were enough encouragement.

"Just let your body relax," Abigor began to tell him, "Don't let any distractions break your concentration. Since you're going in willingly, you'll be able to hear our voice. You may forget who you are but we'll remind you. Don't draw any attention to yourself. If anyone on this other side realizes that you have memories of who you really are, they will come for you and keep you from waking up. Ready?"

"I don't even know what I'm ready for," Louie tried to calm his racing heart, "Ok. Let's do this."

"Now, let the life around you fade. Listen to our voice and never ignore it. Keep your mind on the spirit gem and let it guide you to the other side. Don't fight it, if you do you'll only hurt yourself. Hear their cries, listen to your friends and families voice calling to you for help."

Louie did as he was told, but the only thing he felt was like he was falling asleep. He fekt stupid, he felt like an idiot for believing this. When he finally had enough he sat up with an annoyed tone in his voice.

"This is ridiculous. Spirit gem, otherside, yeah right," Louie spat out.

He got on his feet and looked behind to face Abigor. Only, his heart dropped at the sight. Right there before him was his body, resting on the bed rock. Lena holding onto his hand and Abigor nervously looking over him. Abigor took a look at the ring and saw it was flashing green.

"Good, your in," Abigor gave a smile of relief. He looked at Louie's lifeless body, "Don't worry, I'll give you a sleep potion that'll make you sleep for 3 days. That way the gem won't be able to take over your body while your on the other side. But be sure to be back before the 3rd sunset. Now Hurry."

(Sing)

Louie gulped down his fear and looked ahead of him. A green ball of light was floating just ahead of him, guiding him into what looked like a cave.

Abigor

"It's what they want. Keeping you from being awake

They are here to distract you so you make a big mistake."

Louie nervously followed the light and remembered what he was told. Don't draw attention to yourself or else they'll keep you from waking up. Who was they?

"So our voice will guide you to help set the memories free.

You'll know deep down, you're not where you're meant to be?"

As he went deeper into the cave, Louie looked around l. Green gems that matched his hoodie were planted everywhere. And each one held a memory. He looked into one to see Webbys recent birthday party. Another one held the day he sold punch at a pep rally.

"Everyday will be much harder as new memories grow,

Don't you let the old memories slip and go!"

Louie noticed the light was rushing away so he rushed after it. The faster he ran after it, the more he saw. The moonvasion war was right above him. The time he had with Goldie at the birthday party dashed past him. The memories kept coming in like a river.

"Break the stones of life!

Can you hear their cries,

Come to the other side,"

He came to a giant wall that held memories of all his brothers and friends having fun at the sleepover. Jumping on jello, raining candies and just having fun. He was going to find his friends and family even if it was the last thing he did. The sound of voices then hit his ears. He turned to see an opening next to him that had multiple voices echoing around.

"Are they out there?

Do you know them?

Can you see them?

Can you free them?"

Again, he ran into the path and looked at all his memories. The timephoon, when his mom came back and down to the first day they met Scrooge Mcduck. And the deeper he went, the more memories filled his eyes. The brighter it became and the voices were louder.

"Break stones of life, remember who you are,

Hear their cries, take them to,

The other side!"

(End)

Before he knew it, a bright flash of green blinded him.

Sorry this took a while. Sickness, what are you going to do about it? But since I'm so behind, here's an important monologue in the next chapter.

"You're a scared Scrooge. Scared that you'll fail your family once more. What was it that Donald said. Ducks don't back down? What do you call running away huh? Fear took over you Scrooge! It made you send everyone you love away. Weakening your heart and mind. But not weak enough for us to take over… and now…. Your family is back, filling your heart with love and joy. Well guess what Scrooge? That's what we wanted! The more love in your heart, the harder your heart breaks! You may be smart, tough and sharp, but you couldn't save your family for nothing. You couldn't save Lena! You couldn't save Webby! Goldie! Or even Della! You send us away uncle Scrooge! You send your family away because you couldn't protect them like a man! You backed down Scrooge! You backed down again!"

Well see you next time. And any questions about the Quakopolos family that you still have left will most likely be answered by Lizzette in the future chapters.
