Donald, Scrooge, Dewey, Huey, Louie, Webby and Launchpad are on the Ancient Isle of Ithaquack, a vacation resort for Greek Gods and heroes, after Dewey and Webby had staged the Sunchaser to crash in order to find more information on the Spear of Selene and what happened to Della Duck much to the dismay of Donald and Scrooge. Donald, because he prefers to keep away from Storkules who's going to keep constantly reminding him of his adventuring life and Scrooge because he wants nothing to do with Zeus who has a huge grudge against Scrooge. The family runs into Zeus, King of the Greek Gods and his son Storkules who's basically this world's version of Hercules, except dumber.
As for Dewey and Webby they were walking up the hillside investigating the Spear of Selene. Webby reads Della's last letter on the phone.
Webby: "Dear Scrooge, I've taken the Spear of Selene. I'm sorry, Della." We're close to the truth. I can feel it.
Dewey: What if my mom explored this very path? What if I'm literally walking in her footsteps right now? He bends down to the ground and inhales deeply. I can still smell her feet.
Webby: Webby continues the walk up and makes an insensitive theory. So we know Della took the Spear of Selene and betrayed Mr. McDuck and Donald-
Dewey gets in front and stops Webby in her tracks.
Dewey: Whoa, whoa, whoa! We don't know she did something bad. That note can mean lots of things. He begins to make his own theories. "I've taken the Spear of Selene to get cleaned. I'm sorry I spilled soup on it." "I've taken the Spear of Selene back to the store. I'm sorry you already had one. "Happy Birthday!"
Webby: Ooh! Or "I've taken the Spear of Selene from your money bin", I'm sorry I betrayed your trust." She happily puts her hands on her hips but Dewey is not amused at all and narrows his eyes at Webby for making these insensitive theories about his mother to which she notices. Or, or probably one of your things. Heh, heh! The only way to know for sure is in…the Temple of Heroes!
She walks up and presents to Dewey a large Greek temple and Dewey becomes excited from hearing the world 'Heroes.' She gets next to Webby in fanboy mode.
Dewey: Of 'Heroes!' Pretty good sign that my Mom wasn't a traitor.
They make their way inside the temple and the rest of family with Storkules while Launchpad fixes the plane were sat on a broken pillar in front of Zeus who begins regaling about himself and Ithaquack.
Zeus: Ithaquack was THE secret vacation spot for gods and heroes. He begins showing of jar paintings of himself offering drinks to his followers. And I was the God of Hospitality. The King of the Beach! Everyone loved me. He aims an expression of anger and resentment at Scrooge. Then, Scrooge showed up, defeated the unkillable Gorgon, found the lost treasure of Troy, was really good at building sand castles. Bah!
He points to paintings of Scrooge holding up the Gorgon's decapitated head while being cheered by the Greek's, finds a treasure hidden under the sand and beats Zeus in a sand castle building competition. Though, Storkules had a fond opinion of those times.
Louie: Seems pretty fun.
Storkules: Twas! He presents his own painting of him and Donald lying down and having a fist bump, though Donald is a little reluctant and it says "BFF's 4 ever."
Zeus: No, it wasn't! Zeus angrily stomps his foot and glares at Scrooge. Scrooge showed up like he was so cool and ruined it!
Obviously Scrooge is annoyed with this ridiculous vendetta Zeus has against him and his family
Scrooge: Ugh…jinx. Leave it to an immortal to whine about the good old days.
Zeus: Zeus than aims his glare at Donald and points at him. But the worst one of all was that one over there who stole Ithaquack's most ancient and valuable artefact!
Donald: Donald rolls his eyes in annoyance. Oh, grow up Mr Immortal.
Storkules: Storkules tries to defend his friend's honour. Father. Mighty Donald never stole Save the Queen. It chose him.
Now Huey and Louie become intrigued to hear more potentially cool things about their uncle.
Louie: I'm sorry, but what's this about Uncle Donald being chosen by something. Donald isn't sure how to avoid this question.
Donald: Uh… well…
Storkules: Out of your entire family your faithful and noble Uncle Donald is the greatest and most daring adventurer of all time.
Scrooge: Now, hold on! I-
He holds up a jar depicting a painting of a female duck watching Donald heroically lift what appears to be a winged weapon while being engulfed in electricity.
Storkules: He was chosen as the worthy wielder of our most ancient weapon: Save the Queen! It was forged by Hephaestus, the god of hammer and an incantation was placed on it so that only the most worthy of heroes could wield it. Your uncle had the qualities of such a hero and therefore was worthy of wielding mighty Save the Queen.
He turns the jar to show Donald fighting and evil looking larger duck.
Storkules: He challenged the Lord of the Underworld, Hades. It was a hard fought battle and your uncle fought with a courage and boldness unlike anything we had ever seen before.
The last painting shows Donald standing over a defeated Hades victoriously while resting his staff on his shoulder.
Storkules: Donald Duck was victorious in this battle. He is a true hero and protector!
Huey and Louie are amazed to hear this and turn to Scrooge for confirmation.
Huey: Is that really true Uncle Scrooge!?
Scrooge is somewhat reluctant to talk about those days but he couldn't say no to the expression on the kids' face.
Scrooge: It's true lad. Every word of it.
Huey and Louie jump excitedly in front of Uncle Donald who is having a hard time figuring out how to explain this. Huey's fists are pumped.
Huey: You faced THE Hades and won Uncle Donald!?
Louie: Louie grabs his temples. Get out! That is so cool!
Donald: Donald has a sad look on his face, remembering Della and that something bad had happened between him and Della and Scrooge. It was a long time ago boys. I don't really like talking about it that much.
Scrooge: Scrooge gets up eager to change the subject and walks a little with a question on his mind after noticing how empty the island is. So, where is everyone?
Zeus: They all left when you did. Said they didn't want to party with the "lame god" who couldn't even best a lowly mortal.
He crosses his arms in anger but Scrooge and Donald knows Zeus so well they know that's not the case. That and Scrooge picks up a jar and presents a painting depicting Zeus angrily chasing away his people with bolts of lightning from the sky. Seeing that he's been caught, Zeus meekly tells the truth.
Zeus: There may have also been a…year long lightning storm.
Huey and Louie run over to Scrooge to get a closer look at the painting while Storkules excitedly holds up Donald, overjoyed at the return of his best friend.
Storkules: But now that you have returned, Storkules, noble Donald, and his fiery sister… Storkules finally notices another friend is missing. Halt!? Where is Della?
Donald has a morose expression on his face. He looks to his nephews who are happily looking at more jar paintings. Donald looks down in dread, mourning over the loss of his beloved twin sister and is not ready to tell Storkules yet, especially with his nephews around. This expression was all Storkules needed to understand something terrible had happened and assumes Della has died and his best friend had suffered a terrible loss.
Storkules: His expression also becomes morose. I see. He brightens up when an idea comes to mind. Then we shall embark upon a rousing adventure to honour our fallen compatriot!
He holds him up thinking this might cheer Donald up but really it has the opposite effect and Donald just looks broken.
Donald: I don't… adventure anymore…
Storkules: WHAT!? This a real shock to the demigod since Donald used to love adventure so much. But adventure is the very blood in your veins!? Another idea comes to mind. Well, we must at least hold a feast to celebrate your return!
Louie and Huey cheer with joy at the idea but Scrooge and Zeus… not so much.
Louie: Woo-hoo!
Huey: Yeah!
Scrooge & Zeus: A what!?
Storkules pleadingly turns to his old man and attempts persuasion.
Storkules: Father. Surely the God of Hospitality would not cast out a crew of weary travellers. He hugs and rubs and annoyed and disinterested Donald.
Zeus: Zeus hates having to do this but for the sake of upholding his title he has no choice. Oh…no…I guess not.
Storkules: Ha, ha, ha! It shall be a bacchanal for the ages! He gets his feet on the pillar and pumps his fist in delight and the boys are in a celebratory mood. BEACH PARTYYYYYY!
10 minutes later…
Compared to every party Donald and Scrooge have had on Ithaquack this one was quote quaint and what's the word…? Oh right, the very definition of boring. Donald, Huey and Louie (who's lying down and having grapes) and Storkules wearing a party hat are sat on the pillar. Zeus and Scrooge were sat on the floor around a box with crisps on top. Donald, Scrooge and Zeus are bored out of their minds as a small flying horse plays a harp, Huey is neutral but Louie and Storkules seem to be enjoying it. Storkules blows a party maker and Louie enjoys eating the grapes
Louie: Mmm! These are the best grapes ever!
Scrooge takes a crisp and is not satisfied with the taste.
Scrooge: A little salty…
An overly angry Zeus throws off the box and everyone gets out of the way before it could smash into them.
Zeus: Dip not good enough for you, mortal?! You offend Olympus!
Scrooge: Having had enough of his rudeness Scrooge gives Zeus a piece of his mind. Maybe people didn't leave because they liked me, but because they didn't like you!
Scrooge points fingers and Zeus is close to unleashing the wrath of the gods. The horse cringes and whistles while innocently making an escape. Sensing the violence his father might unleash Storkules quickly gets in between them with a nervous smile and his hands held together.
Storkules: Ha-ha! Perhaps some festive beach games will lighten the mood!
Zeus: Zeus gets up in excitement taking his son's idea the wrong way before walking over to the ring. Yes! A contest! Your family versus mine in a series of heroic trials. Yea, all will know that we are the superior party hounds and return to the island!
Zeus notices as he was doing his monologue and ranting Donald and Scrooge were attempting to escape and pushing the boys along who wanted to stay.
Scrooge: This is exactly why we stopped vacationing here.
Huey: But guys, epic trials! Zeus!
Louie: Delicious grapes!
Zeus, refusing to let every loss he's suffered at the hand of Scrooge stand, summons his golden lightning shaped javelin and holds in up in the air. It releases a blast of light that summons thunder clouds, sending down bolts of electricity that stop the Duck/McDuck family in their place. More bolts rain down and they eventually form a dome of electricity that surrounds the entire beach. Zeus walks up with a dark expression and tone in his voice.
Zeus: You're not going anywhere.
Huey and Louie hop about in joy, happy to stay here and take on the trials (even Louie). Donald and Scrooge on the other hand are anything but happy and their eyebrows are lowered in dread.
Donald & Scrooge: Aww…phooey.
Dewey and Webby who were oblivious as to what was going on were hoping around stone columns in a chamber in order to reach a glowing object at the end after exploring the temple. Dewey had no care whatsoever to whatever traps there may be but Webby certainly does.
Webby: Careful! According to legend, the artefact in this chamber holds a terrible curse when removed from its pedestal.
Dewey: Of course! Scrooge must have been cursed by the Spear! "I'm taking the Spear of Selene to de-cursify you. I'm sorry I probably won't survive." He steps on a panel by mistake. She was a hero-
Webby pulls him back before he could get crushed by a boulder that destroys the next pillar.
Webby: This place is filled with booby traps. We have to be careful.
Dewey: Dewey gets up brimming with determination. If my mom can make it across, so can I! He steps on the next panel.
5 minutes later…after avoiding deadly flames from beneath, double bladed axes, arrows and more boulders Dewey and Webby are finally across. Though, Dewey is completely traumatized from the experience and is sat down hugging onto Webby for support as he whimpers and shakes in fear. She spots a spider and swats it away before sweetly hugging her crush and providing Dewey comfort.
Webby: It's okay. Shh. It's okay. She helps Dewey up and holds both his hands. We only have to do that one more time to get out.
Dewey is snapped out of his fear when they see they're in front of the pedestal with the artefact stuck on top. Dewey climbs it up and grabs the handle.
Dewey: It was all worth it to find the Sword of Selene! He pulls it up and after registering it and what he said he realizes it's not a spear but an old sword much to his dismay. Wait, what? This isn't what we're looking for. Where's the Spear?
Webby: It's a big temple. We must have the wrong antechamber.
Dewey: Then, we'll just have to find the right one. He points the sword courageously. Nothing will stand in our way!
Except for the fact that the sword is glowing bright orange right now and in response the entire room is falling apart. It gets worse when strange writing appears on the face of the sword.
Webby: The curse! Put it back! Put it back!
Dewey frantically struggles to place it back and prevent their untimely deaths.
The two sets of family get ready for the challenges. Donald, Huey, Louie and Storkules are the contestant. Huey and Louie are wearing Greek tunics. The only difference is that Huey is wearing a red headband and Louie is wearing a green leaf clown. Donald stays in his black sailor attire, not caring about the events that much or the traditions. Louie and Huey take time to admire their new clothing.
Louie: Oh! I love these tunics; they're so breezy, so comfortable.
Huey takes a look at his tail feathers.
Huey: And surprisingly slimming.
Scrooge walks up to give his advice and pep talk.
Scrooge: Storkules may have brute strength but he's also an idiot. You lads can use that your advantage. He wraps his arms around both of them. I believe in you all.
As for Storkules he's repeatedly lifting an incredibly heavy dumbbell with Zeus holding his javelin and giving his own pep talk.
Zeus: Okay, son. If you beat Scrooge's family, I'll be back on top. Admired, respected, blindly obeyed!
Zeus is excited at the thought of his followers coming back but Storkules is confused about one thing.
Storkules: And why do you not compete directly against Scrooge?
Zeus really only wants Storkules to compete, believing he's not cut out for these trials but he doesn't want anyone to know that.
Zeus: Well, obviously, people would lose respect for me if I were to lower myself to his level. He quickly dismisses the question. Never mind that. He raises up his fists just as Storkules finishes his warm up. To your positions!
The 4 contestants walk over to the starting line on the stone ring. Storkules, Huey and Louie get on the ground and prepare to race except for a disinterested Donald who is merely standing, feeling this doesn't require much effort. Zeus holds up what appears to be a bag.
Zeus: Whoever claims Aeolus's Bag of Winds first, wins. Understood? He places it down on the end.
Huey: Five or six questions-
Zeus: On your mark, get set! He claps his hand and thunder crashes.
Huey, Louie and Storkules sprint off and are going at it neck and neck except for Donald.
Donald: Nope.
He turns and walks away, not caring about participating in this petty rivalry one bit. Maybe if Zeus wins he'd let them leave and it can be as if nothing had ever happened. This island used to be full of so much fun and vibrancy for Donald but now all it holds was painful memories.
Zeus plays dirty and opens up the bag, unleashing a powerful blast of wind. Donald cries out as he's slammed into a pillar. Storkules being a god with superhuman resilience is able to run through at a normal pace. All the wind is doing for him is blowing his hair back. Huey and Louie are clawed onto the ground, unable to run through the wind like Storkules is and it was so powerful even their eye lids were being blown back.
Huey: We're never gonna beat him like this!
Louie: To Louie's horror his tunic inflates and threatens to pull him further back. Ah! Too breezy! Too breezy!
Huey brightens up realizing how they could use the wind to their advantage.
Huey: Idea!
In an amazing display of wits Huey lets go and is blown back to the banner behind the ring. It slingshots him high into the air and his tunic inflates, acting as a parachute. When he lands behind the bag he immediately ties it closed, winning his family the race. Fortunately, unlike his father Storkules is a good sports and laughs in congratulations for this victory when he and Louie walk up.
Storkules: Ha-ha-ha! Well done, nephews of Donald! He bends down and wraps his arms around both of them. What ingenuity! From henceforth, you shall be known as Hubert, Tamer of Winds, and Llewellyn, Fighter of Storms!
Huey: Awesome!
Louie does not take great pleasure in being referred to by his real name.
Louie: Please do not say my real name out loud!
A satisfied Scrooge and an outraged Zeus watch what had unfolded by the stairs leading to his throne.
Scrooge: Scrooge laughs at Zeus. Satisfied?
Zeus: Doesn't count! They cheated! Best 2 out of 3!
Donald is still slammed into the pillar with his arms crossed.
Donald: We're gonna be stuck here forever. He slides down the pillar and falls on his face.
As for Dewey and Webby they've done some more exploring and have found another antechamber which contained a deadly green 5 eyed sea monster with tentacles called Charydbis who is roaring and trying to rip them both apart. They both avoid getting crushed by his tentacles and Dewey smiles, having come up with another possible theory.
Dewey: Ha-ha! "Scrooge, I'm taking the Spear of Selene to challenge the gods of Olympus, but will probably be eaten by a sea monster. I'm sorry, Della."
Webby: That's a…possibility…
While they were distracted the sea monster snags onto them with its tentacle and lifts them above his mouth as he proceeds to eat them. An angered Dewey realizes that this monster must've murdered his mother
Dewey: You hideous monster! He points right at it. I will avenge my mother by killing you with the very spear you're sworn to protect!
Charydbis: You shall never get the Spear of Poseidon!
This completely changes Dewey's belief and theory. Did he just say Poseidon instead of Selene?
Dewey: I'm sorry, the Spear of who, now?
Charydbis: The Spear of Poseidon!
The duo realize once again that they're both in the wrong chamber much to Dewey's annoyance.
Dewey: Man. We got the wrong chamber again.
Webby: We're looking for the Spear of Selene.
Charydbis: It takes 2 seconds for the sea monster to realize that this was all a big misunderstanding and suddenly he shows a friendly and more sociable side to him. he immediately puts them back on the floor in front of him. Ohhhhh! You're gonna want to go back down the hall, past the Harpy Aviary, third door on your left. Garden of Selene! Can't miss it.
That was all they needed to hear and they have to admit they were surprised to see this guy have another side to him.
Webby: Oh, hey, thanks.
She waves goodbye and the kids make their way out the chamber. Charydbis waves them goodbye with a big smile on his face. They leave but then Dewey pokes his head out with an apologetic smile.
Dewey: Sorry about calling you a hideous monster before. I'm sure you're very attractive by sea monster standards.
Charydbis: Not really. Thanks though.
Back on Donald's side, the series of challenges that had been set up were in Storkules favour but he isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the box, allowing Donald to effortlessly win every challenge even though he wasn't even trying.
First was throwing the Discus. Huey and Louie attempt to throw their discs but end up bumping into each other and fall on their backs, an epic fail when the discs are only inches past the line. Donald just throws his away without much effort. Storkules tosses his disc with all his might and it is sent flying. His toss was so powerful it is engulfed in flames and flying all around the entire Earth like a shooting star but out of sheer dumb luck, contrary to Donald's case of bad luck Storkules disc comes back and lands behind his, thus legally declaring Donald the winner.
Storkules: Ha ha! Huzzah Storkules holds up Donald by his wrist to signify him as the champion and his nephews cheer.
Zeus growls in anger and veins look like they're about to pop out of his eyes for his son's stupidity while Scrooge just smirks.
Next was chariot racing and Donald and Storkules were neck and neck. Storkules waves at his disinterested friend and speeds ahead. Donald's chariot smashes into a boulder and he's sent flying and screaming in the air much to Storkules' amazement, especially when the sailor land right on the finish line thus winning again.
Huey & Louie: Woo-hoo!
Storkules and the kids laugh in joy and once again congratulate Donald on his victory. Storkules doesn't care that he's lost, he's just having fun. Scrooge smirks at frustrated Zeus who's losing his cool.
Next was clay sculpturing, Zeus and Scrooge inspect clay models the contestants have made. Huey and Louie proudly present 2 ducks having a high five. Zeus doesn't know what to think of it and Scrooge is just impressed. They then look at a bored Donald's art which isn't even art or a sculpture. It's just a lump of and Scrooge and Zeus are beyond confused. They then look at Storkules' sculpture which is a true work of art but it's one that horrifies Zeus because it's a muscular Greek styled statue of Donald which was made in honour of him. Donald wants to feel flattered but is quite creeped out, as is Scrooge. Zeus is outraged to see a statue of a mortal and that completely disqualifies Storkules.
Zeus: ENOUGH! Zeus spreads his arm out in range and more thunder crashes, taking everyone aback.
20 minutes later everyone finds themselves back on the ring getting ready for Zeus to declare his ultimate challenge.
Zeus: Now comes the ultimate challenge. Steal the Golden Fleece…He moves over to present a small little Greek female duck wearing a light blue dress and headband and black hair in two buns. …from this small child.
Scrooge: Donald and Scrooge are less than impressed. This is your ultimate challenge?
Louie: There's no way we're gonna beat Storkules on this one.
They look to Storkules now and contrary to what Louie just said it seems they have a chance. Storkules is torn with a look of self-conflict, stealing from a child whether if it's part of competition or not goes against his kind heroic instincts, it goes against everything the demigod stands for.
Storkules: Steal? From a child? Storkules nervously taps his fingers together. But if I were to do such a thing, could I ever truly be called a hero? Donald, I am in need of your wise counsel. There's no response and everyone notice that Donald's not even around. Donald? Donald!
Storkules sees his best friend walking away from the ring, having had enough of these theatrics and petty grudges as well as adventure.
The God of Heroes quickly catches up with him with his hand reached out.
Storkules: Oh! Companion Donald, where are you going?
Donald stops with a sorrowful and regretful expression. While Storkules can be annoying to him he's also a good friend, though he prefers not to say that. He was the first person to see him as an equal when he first visited Ithaquack when Scrooge and Della weren't giving much attention to him. He was the first person to listen to how he became a mage, his doubts as an adventurer and the troubled treatment he's been receiving. So it pains Donald to have to say what he's about to say to him.
Donald: Uh…look…you're a nice guy, but-
Storkules: Storkules puts his hands on his hip and takes pride in that. The most nice guy, for I am Storkules, Pure of-!
Donald: Donald angrily cuts him off. No, no, no! I'm through with adventure! Someone always gets hurt!
Storkules is shocked with what he's hearing. The Donald Duck before him is not the brave, courageous and amazing true hero and daring adventurer who he saw as his best friend and battle with Hades to save his family and Ithaquack.
Storkules: But…getting hurt is part of the adventure! What would fierce Della say if she could hear you now?
Donald: Well, she can't! Donald widens his eyes as he is forced to remember why. He groans in misery and sadness. Someone always gets hurt…
Storkules could only watch as Donald leaves in a broken slump and state. The loss of his twin has hit him hard and the sooner he gets away from Ithaquack the better.
Dewey and Webby have finally arrived in the chamber of Selene. In front of them is a mini-version Ithaquack and the top is a circular stone door. The sight of it causes Webby to gasp and both of them are in awe.
Webby: A perfect 1:125th scale replica of Ithaquack. And look! She runs over to what appears to be a mode of a creature with 2 lion heads and a snake-headed tail which she picks up. There's a tiny chimera on the hillside! It's so adorable; I just want to slay it!
Dewey: Focus! He puts the chimera model back. We're so close to solving this. The truth about my Mom.
Webby: And one of the greatest mysteries of Clan McDuck.
The pair's excitement level drop when they realize they don't know how to get the door open, something they never thought of before coming here.
Dewey: So, do we look in the tiny houses, or...?
A stone door on the wall behind them opens up, revealing a blue orb that sends out a blue beam of light. The kids watch as the light goes up the hill and hits the blue circle in the top centre of the door. A brief flash makes the rim glow and door does a 180 turn before fully opening up.
Dewy & Webby: They both gasp in amazement. The Garden of Selene!
Greek writing appears on the plaque above and Dewey is excited to know what it is.
Dewey: What's it say? That Della Duck was a hero who died nobly trying to protect her family?
Webby: "Whosoever claims the prize inside shall find great riches, but incur the terrible wrath of the gods." Webby gasps in realization and walks to the back with another insensitive theory in mind. It all checks out! Della stole the spear, angered the gods, and brought their wrath down upon her innocent family, which explains why Mr. McDuck and Donald didn't want to land here. Ha!
She looks at Della's picture on the phone and Dewey has a look refusal and anger in his face, not wanting to believe one bit that his mother would do something evil. He looks to Webby and is mad at her for implying such a thing.
Dewey: That can't be true; my Mom would never do that to her family.
Webby looks back when she hears a sound coming from the door, insinuating it will close soon. If they're gonna find out the truth then they have to get in before it closes. Seeing that Dewey's getting upset she decides not to push it any further.
Webby: I guess we'll know for sure in the garden. Let's go.
She proceeds to walk up the replica hill of Ithaquack but to her shock Dewey gets in front of her and stops her from going any further. He looks down regretting that he's doing this but he feels he has no choice.
Dewey: No.
Webby tries to run past but Dewey keeps moving in her direction with his arms spread out, determined not to let her through. Webby becomes more desperate and is shocked Dewey is not letting her through since he was obsessed with finding out information about his Mom.
Webby: What're you doing!? The door is going close soon!
Dewey: We're not going in.
Webby: Seeing she has no choice Webby decides to push through. Dewey grabs her phone and tries to hold her back but it's clear Webby is physically stronger because she's pushing the blue wearing duck up the hill. But all the answers we've been searching for are in there!
Dewey: I don't care! My Mom was a HERO!
Dewey finds the strength to push back and throw her off. Webby drops her phone as she recovers by landing and jumping off her hands. She flips in the air and lands back on her feet before standing back up. Both Dewey and Webby were standing tall and glaring at one another. Both were equally determined, Dewey in defending her mother's honour by making sure no one finds out if she's a bad person or not and Webby in solving Clan McDuck's greatest mystery. The both of them hate having to do this to one another but they weren't going to back down without a fight.
Webby was in a karate battle stance and prepares to fight her way through.
Webby: Dewey, please! Let me through! I don't want to hurt you! You know you're no match for me!
Dewey: Dewey smirks and gets into his own battle stance. Maybe that would've been the case when we first met. But I've picked up a couple of things and now is a different story.
He rushes down and then jumps off the hill before landing in front of Webby. She's incredibly surprised and taken aback but that doesn't stop her from doing a spin kick but Dewey dodges it by getting on his hands and doing a break dance to knock Webby's hands away before delivering a double back kick right in her stomach. Webby cries out in pain as she is sent flying off her feet and sprawls across the floor. Dewey gets back on his feet and stands tall. Webby struggles a little but she gets on her hands then her feet while groaning a bit. A trail of blood leaves her beak as she stares at Dewey with lowered eyebrows. She wipes it off and realizes she can't get through without fighting him after all.
Webby: Alright. If that's how you want it.
The both of them bend their feet down a bit and clench their fists while glaring at each other with heated gazes.
Meanwhile, back on the beach the girl is blinking as she waits for her fleece to be taken. Zeus facepalms to see Storkules walking around with an expression of self-conflict, getting increasingly frustrated with his son's inability to take the fleeced despite the face that this only just a contest.
Storkules: If I do not steal the fleece, Father shall be incensed, but if I steal from a small, innocent child, how can I ever face myself again?
Zeus: Just grab it already!
Louie runs up to the kid with a proud smirk.
Louie: I got it.
Huey runs up shocked that his brother is actually going to steal from a little kid.
Huey: Louie!
Louie: What, I'm also a little kid, it's fine.
Right after he said that the little girl's eyes glow and she begins singing a creepy and haunting melody, prompting a worried Scrooge to come up and grab his nephews' attention.
Scrooge: Plug your ears! No good ever came from a creepy child singing!
The three of them immediately put their hands over their ears looking completely terrified but unfortunately Storkules didn't catch what Scrooge said. Hearing the melody causes Storkules to freeze in his place and his eyes glow with the strange light. The proud expression on Zeus' face insinuates this is all his doing.
Zeus: Oh! The child is actually a mind-controlling siren! Did I not mention that? Storkules, finish them!
The possessed Storkules stomp towards Huey and Louie who are terrified out of their mind, not know what to do against a god.
Huey: Uh oh.
Back in the temple Dewey and Webby are in their fighting stances directly opposite of one another as they prepare to have a showdown.
Dewey: I'm sorry Webby.
Webby: I'm sorry too Dewey.
Both Dewey and Webby immediately rush at each other and their fists meet and they begin exchanging blows. Dewey flips up and delivers a kick that Webby blocks. She then delivers a spin kick that Dewey also blocks but is also sent skidding back.
The blue wearing duck jumps up and delivers a blow with his elbow that Webby matches. They're both in a deadlock for a bit until they pull back and exchange fast blows. Dewey throws a punch which Webby blocks with her arm and Webby jumps to deliver a spin kick that Dewey avoids by ducking and jumping to the side.
He goes forward and lands a punch on Webby's stomach, causing her to scream in pain. The pink-loving duck grits her teeth and knee's Dewey in the stomach, making him shout in pain.
Both of them step back holding their stomachs and panting heavily. The glare at each other in anger with their teeth clenched before rushing at each other and exchange fast blows once again with their fists until they land a blow on each other's faces at the same time. Both of them cry out in pain but that doesn't stop them from continuing to exchange more blows.
Webby sees and opening to deliver another spin kick and Dewey flips back to evade. He then runs at Webby and the both of them lock their hands together and are now grappling. Both Dewey and Webby are pushing back against each other with all their strength, at least that's how it was for Dewey until he has an expression of self-conflict about doing this to his best friend.
As a result of his hesitance Dewey was holding back for a while and Webby begins pushing him up the hill again just as bits of the door can be seen coming down. The both of them are halfway up but at that point Dewey manages to regain his focus and remember he's doing this to protect his Mom so he musters up enough strength to push her off. The frustrated Webby tries to run and push through but Dewey moves to the side and grabs her wait. He and Webby grunt as the blue wearing duck throws her off and she's sent tumbling back to the bottom. She manages to recover and desperately looks at Dewey.
Webby: Please! The answers are right through there! You can't stop me now!
Dewey: Dewey just smirks at her. Don't have to! Just have to hold you off until the door closes!
Dewey goads her by holding the chimera model.
Webby: Webby lowers her eyebrows. You wouldn't…!
Dewey holds it upside down and makes it look as if he is proudly going to break it.
Webby: I'll save you tiny chimera! She rushes at Dewey and they continue their fight.
Meanwhile Huey and Louie are running for their lives from the possessed Storkules who is unable to control his actions and could do nothing but helplessly watch himself be forced to hurt his new friends. Scrooge does his best to use his cane to keep him away.
Storkules: No! My fists betray my heart! Father! Stop this madness!
Zeus just throws up his hands saying he's gotta do what he's gotta do. Storkules smashes his fist against the ground which creates a shockwave that sends the 3 of them off-balance and cause them to yelp. They quickly get out of range and Scrooge begins berating Zeus.
Scrooge: Zeus! Lay off man! It's not my fault I best you at pretty much everything I do!
Louie: Not helping!
Donald is at the bottom and is attempting to leave the electrical barrier.
Donald: Let me through you no good-! He touches the barrier and gets electrocuted. Never-! It happens again and he quacks in pain. Adventure-! It happens again. Again!
Even when he's not touching it he still gets electrocuted and shouts in pain before falling on his chest. He lifts his face up in defeat, accepting that there's no way he can escape this place. He shakes his head to get some sand off him and snaps out of his expression of defeat when he hears loud cries for help, the voices if whom he recognises.
Donald: Boys!
Hearing his boys are in trouble gets Donald in a frenzy and he runs back up the cliff.
A regretful Storkules has Scrooge, Huey and Louie cornered and they all brace themselves for the end.
Storkules: I must apologize in advance for crushing your tiny bodies! I want you to know that as my best friend, Donald's family, I consider you my second-tier best friends. He brings up his fist for the finishing blow. Farewell!
Suddenly, a webbed foot steps up from behind along with an unintelligible but understandable enough voice.
Donald: Hey you big palooka!
They all look to see who the figure is. It's Donald Duck, not the depressed one from minutes ago but the one with an expression of fiery determination, the protector, the greatest adventurer in history. He bops his hat and prepares to fight for his family.
Donald: Nobody gets hurt today!
As Donald begins his showdown with Storkules, Dewey and Webby continue having their own showdown. Surprisingly, Dewey is managing to fight on even terms with Webby and holds his own against her despite the fact that she's an expert martial artist.
The both of them are grappling again and Dewey is holding her back until Webby gets back, grabs Dewey's waist and flips him above her with ease. She proceeds to run but grunts when she feels her ankle get grabbed and falls to the floor. She turns her head to see Dewey grabbed onto her ankle.
Dewey: Ha!
Webby screams and claws onto the floor as Dewey drags her down.
Donald and Storkules are having their showdown and Zeus grins evilly as he tents his fingers.
Zeus: Ooh, now this is getting interesting. Storkules… He points right at Donald. Kill this thief!
Storkules: No! Not my best friend, Donald! Storkules stomps over to Donald.
Donald: Acquaintances! Donald looks to Scrooge and his nephews. Scrooge! Get the kids to safety! I'll handle this!
Scrooge nods in agreement but Huey and Louie have looks of protest on their faces.
Scrooge: Right!
Louie: But there's no way you can beat Storkules on your own Uncle Donald! Scrooge smirks at the both of them.
Scrooge: Don't worry lads! Your Uncle Donald is more that capable of taking care of himself.
*Scrooge takes the boys to safety and Donald rushes at Storkules. The possessed demigod swings his fist but the sailor slides underneath and gets behind. Storkules turns and smashes his fist against the ground. Donald evades and lands a blow on the face.€
Donald: I know you're in their Storkules! I'll get you out!
Storkules swings his fist but Donald ducks and delivers 2 blows to his chest. He dodges the demigod's second blow and flips behind him before, punching him in the back. Zeus is growling in increasing annoyance.
Zeus: Kill him already!
Donald punches him in the face again before climbing up Storkules and getting on his back to put him in a headlock. The possessed God of Heroes struggles to get Donald off him as the siren child continues singing its haunting melody. Eventually Storkules jumps back and smashes Donald to the ground, causing the duck to scream in pain. The demigod rolls off and gasps to see what he's done to his friend who struggles to get up.
Storkules: NO! Now my whole body is betraying my heart! He stomps over to towards Donald. Father! Stop this insanity!
Donald quacks when he sees Storkules bring up his fist to smash him and immediately rolls out of the way just as he smashes the hole made. The demigod makes random grunts and instructions so Donald can fend him off easier. Donald jumps back to avoid his large fist smashing him, ducks to avoid 2 swings but then Storkules smashes both his fists to the ground, creating a shockwave that sends Donald flying.
But instead of hurting him it just pulls the trigger on the sailor as he opens his eyes and begins to go red with rage from thinking about ho Zeus is forcing his own son to hurt his precious nephews. Steams comes out of his ears and in a fit of unbridled fury he leaps up and does his class angry jump while quacking in pure anger.
Donald: Wait 'till I get my hands on you!
Donald rushes at Storkules and climbs up him at rapid speed. Storkules is being forced to try and punch him off but Donald is moving faster than lightning and crawling around his body like a maniac and quacking loudly, making the demigod's attempts in vain and causes him to punch himself in the face, allowing Donald to pull his eyebrows and begin smacking him on the shoulder.
Back in the temple Dewey tackles Webby and the both of them are rolling and bouncing down the mini-version of Ithaquack, trying to pin one another down. Webby eventually kicks Dewey off and he lands on the ground. They run at each other and begin exchanging blows once more. Dewey blocks a punch from Webby with both arms and then delivers his own punch which is also blocked.
Their fight is becoming more and more rapid. Dewey is delivering a barrage of punches that Webby is having difficulty dodging them all and blocking them. She shouts in pain when Dewey knees her and then elbows her in the back, making her drop to her knees. When Dewey tries to jump kick her, Webby acrobatically flips up before he could land the blow. They rush at each other and their knees meet, putting them in another furious deadlock until they pull back.
Both Dewey and Webby have their fists up as they pant in exhaustion. The two of them are looking quite winded, they're both sweating, they're covered in tears and bruises and strands stand out from their hair. Even so, Webby can't help but give an impressed smirk at Dewey for being able to fight on par with her.
Webby: Wow… not bad… you're good.
Dewey: Dewey smirks back. Thanks. You too.
They both put aside the compliments and attack again. Webby grabs a punch sent by Dewey and vice versa. The two were in another grapple but this time instead of pushing they were exchanging a barrage of knee kicks. Eventually, Dewey delivers a strong headbutt to Webby that sends her flying and screaming. She shouts even more when Dewey comes up and delivers a couple of punches to her stomach.
Webby is taking a lot of damage but she manages to grab Dewey's next punch and the delivers a powerful uppercut across his chin, sending him shouting up the air before flipping up an delivering a flip kick that knocks him to the ground but he recovers by landings on his hands and doing a break dance to spin and kick Webby as she's landing. She manages to land on her hand and do a cartwheel to recover before jumping towards Dewey and kneeing him in the stomach. Dewey manages to resist and recover to get on one hand and do another break dance to kick Webby off her feet.
As they fight the door is pretty much half closed and Webby is getting increasingly desperate to get inside. Dewey and Webby are both on their feet again and they launch a punch at each other. They gasp and scream in pain when they land their punches in the other's stomach. Both Dewey and Webby drop to their knees and clutch their stomach in pain panting and sweating.
Webby: You…give up yet…
Dewey: Are you kidding? I could do this all day.
They both struggle to get up, but Webby is finding it harder due to taking more hits. When she gets up she gets a little wobbly and sweats profusely before dropping to her knees panting.
Webby: "I had no idea Dewey could fight like this and was this strong! I've been training for years and he's caught up with me like nothing. I've gotta get through somehow."
Dewey looks back to see the door continuing to close then Webby.
Dewey: "She's exhausted, but so am I. If I can just hold her off for another couple of minutes then I'll be able to protect my Mom's honour. I know she was a hero. I refuse to believe she was a bad person."
Webby gets up and the bruised ducks rush at each other to exchange another flurry of punches and kick for a couple of seconds, but when Dewey delivers a spin kick Webby leaps up and then delivers a slap to Dewey's face and the blue wearing duck gasps in pain when he's kicked right in the stomach. He drops over to his knees and Webby grabs his arm, locking onto it and twisting it a little. Dewey cries out in pain and struggles to escape her grip, though Webby looks at him with an expression of pleading and regret and is also crying with tears streaming down her face.
Webby: Dewey! Please, no more! I don't want to fight anymore! I don't want to hurt you! You're my best friend!
Dewey: Dewey looks down with his eyes closed as he holds the shoulder Webby is locked onto and tears stream his face. You're my best friend too Webby! But I have to do this! I have to protect my Mom.
Webby: But Dewey! This is the only chance we'll get! Don't you want to find out the truth about Della!? About your Mom!? Don't you want to know if she was truly a hero!?
Dewey: Dewey feels his temper flaring up. MY MOM IS A HERO!?
Dewey manages to spin his entire body and lands kick in Webby's face. The girl screams in pain as she is sent flying and sprawling back to the mini-Ithaquack. Webby manages to get back up but she wasn't able to stop Dewey from delivering two punches to her face and then another right in stomach. Webby shouts in anguish from the pain churning in her stomach but she quickly steels herself and grabs Dewey's wrist. The blue duck is thrown above and Webby slams him to the ground before pinning him down and giving him glare as he struggles to escape.
Webby: Why!? Tell me why Dewey?! We're so close to the truth! Why won't you let us find it!? Why are you so afraid!?
Hearing these constant questions and Webby theorizing that his Mom could be evil has made Dewey reach the breaking point in his anger. As a result he completely snaps.
Dewey: SHUT UP! She is completely taken aback by his outburst. Dewey delivers a headbutt right in the forehead, causing Webby to shout and grab her head in pain. SHUT! UP!
Dewey gets up and knees her in the stomach, making her scream even more and now the blue duck is pummelling and sending her back step by step while letting tears gush out of his eyes.
Dewey: YOU DON'T KNOW! Webby is barely able to block his blows as Dewey rants. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME!
He kicks Webby in the chin, knocking her off balance.
Dewey: I'VE BEEN AN ORPHAN FOR 10 YEARS OF MY LIFE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOTHER OF FATHER! I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY FAMILY! NOW I FINALLY FIND A CLUE ABOUT ONE OF MY BIRTH PARENTS ONLY TO HAVE TO HEAR YOU CONSTANTLY THEORIZE THAT MY MOM IS EVIL AND THAT SHE BETRAYED THE FAMILY! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE MY MOM WAS A TRAITOR! SHE WAS A HERO!
After delivering more punches Dewey elbows Webby right in her left eye, she screams in absolute pain and fall on her back holding her eye. She writhes on the ground and Dewey gasps realizing what he just did to his best friend. Webby calms down a little and reveals herself to have a black eye now like Donald had in Macaw. Dewey steps back in fear and guilt. He never meant to hurt her like this; he was just trying to buy time.
Dewey: What have I done?
Webby's legs are incredibly wobbly from fatigue. When she gets up she swerves a little bit and holds her arm. Surprisingly, she's not angry at all; instead she has an expression of guilt and regret from seeing how her insensitive feelings about Dewey's mother have taken an effect on her best friend. She slowly begins walking up to him with a sympathetic expression while holding her shoulder.
Webby: Dewey, I-
She accidentally steps on a panel and suddenly a pit opens, causing Webby to fall down screaming and Dewey to become horrified.
Dewey: WEBBY!
Dewey runs up to the pit and looks down to see Webby hanging on to a small piece of rock sticking out and to his great horror there are thousands of bloodthirsty snakes at the bottom.
Webby: HELP!
Dewey: Hang on! Take my hand!
Gets on his knees and reaches out to Webby who in response is trying to reach out to him. Their hands seemed centimetres away from each other but ultimately Webby can't reach and yelp when she almost slips.
Webby: I can't reach! You're too far! She looks back in fear to see the snakes jumping to try and bite her. I don't wanna die in a snake trap! I wanna die in a spike trap!
Dewey: You're not dying on my watch!
Webby: Easy for you to-!
Suddenly the rock she was hanging onto collapses and she falls to her doom screaming.
Dewey: No!
Dewey refusing to let Webby die like this jumps down and grabs onto her wrist and another stuck out rock halfway down the pit. Webby looks up to Dewey in shock.
Webby: Dewey!
Dewey tries to hang on with every bit of strength he has and strains from doing but he refuses to give up.
Dewey: I'm not letting go! I won't do it! I may have lost a Mom but I'm not losing my best friend!
Webby gasps in surprise which turns into warm and forgiving smile, touched Dewey still considers her his best friend even after their fight. Dewey is a little surprised with himself for what he said but smiles as well with the same expression. Though, it's disturbed when the rock collapses and they both fall screaming towards the snakes. As it happens life flashes before their eyes and they brace for the inevitable until Dewey spots Webby's grappling hook flying out of Webby's toon space and float in front of him. Thinking about how many times Webby has used this thing brings him and idea and he immediately grabs it. As Webby screams and he holds onto her he fires it in the air and it snags onto the floor above. The both of them are quickly pulled up faster than bullet right before a snake could take a bite out of Webby's foot.
When they get back to the floor they are sent flying up the room. Dewey reels back the hook and the duo hug onto each other as they fall down and roll across the ground. They bump into the mini-version of Ithaquack where they come to a halt. The both of them lie across the bottom of the hill hugged onto each other while shaking. They pant for a bit before smiling at each other despite their wounds and bruises.
Dewey: You…wanna call this draw?
Webby: Yeah. I think that's fair.
They both painstakingly twist their bodies and lie on their backs heavily panting in exhaustion as they feel absolutely winded from their fight. Webby can't help but chuckle a little.
Webby: Boy…That was…some fight…
Dewey: You can…say that again.
They both can't help but weakly laugh despite the physical pain they're going through. Webby saddens and forces herself up before standing in front of Dewey pleadingly.
Webby: Dewey…listen…I get it, you believe your Mom is a hero. Then why won't you let us find out if she truly is and what kind of person she is.
Dewey looks up in sad and broken defeat as he lies on the hill.
Dewey: Because… He tucks in his legs and covers his eyes almost like he's about to cry. …what if my Mom was a bad person…?
Webby opens her mouth in surprise to hear Dewey say that before looking back to the door which is about 75% closed now and is speeding up. She looks back to Dewey sitting up in a fetal position. She looks down in shame, ever since they arrived on this island she's been constantly making insensitive theories about Della stealing the Spear of Selene and betraying the family without really knowing the full story. Her constant theorizing have created a huge amount of doubt and fear inside Dewey's heart. She spots her grapple gun in front of her and picks it up. She looks at reflection of an bruised up girl ashamed of herself for making her best friend scared of what kind of person his mother is. She looks at Dewey sympathetically and seeing that emotional damage she's done she makes up her mind.
Webby: Okay.
Dewey: What? He looks to see Webby in a slump.
Webby: This is one mystery we don't have to solve.
She turns and walks away from the closing door looking dejected. Dewey gets up shocked and at the same time touched that Webby is willing to give up the chance to solve the greatest mystery of Clan McDuck. He turns to the door and within a few short seconds thinks about everything that's happened as well as the reason he came here in the first place. He steels his resolve and makes up his own mind. Dewey quickly runs up to Webby and grabs her hand. The both of them run up the hill and jump through door just as it full closes.
They get up and find themselves in the Garden of Selene which consists of pillars in a circular formation, flowerbeds going circle, trees and in the middle is a fountain with a statue pouring water. A determined Dewey and Webby walk through looking for clues.
Dewey: I need to know the truth, whatever it is.
Unbeknownst to them, the statue is not a statue but actually woman hidden in the shadows. She puts away her jar and leaps up from behind, landing right in front of the kids, startling them and prompting them to get in a defensive position.
In front of them is a tall, slender female bird with light cream hair worn in a long updo ponytail that is past her waist. She wears a blue gown, with a bronze crown. She points right at the both of them.
Selene: HAAA! Got ya! She drops them down, realizing they aren't the one she was trying to prank. Heeeey, you're not Della.
Dewey: You know Della!? Where is she!? He drops down begging. Please tell me she wasn't an evil family betrayer and spear stealer! He looks up sceptically. Who are you, anyway?
Webby: Webby is in awe of this birds presence. Dewey, that's Selene, the goddess of the moon.
As though in response to Webby saying her name and time her long hair breezes through the air as she smiles and has her hands on her hips.
Webby: Webby waves and introduces herself. Hi, I'm Webby.
Selene walks up and bends down to their level.
Selene: I heard Scrooge and his family were on the island, so I wrote a super-spooky prophecy on the door to lure my friend, Della… She puts a hand her chin unaware that Della is not on the island …that usually does the trick.
Dewey: So where's the Spear of Selene, Selene?
Selene: What spear?
Dewey: The one Della took from your garden.
Selene is looking incredibly confused about this 'Spear of Selene.'
Selene: You mean the… She holds up a hand and a shining glass sphere materializes. Sphere of Selene?
Dewey: Dewey's anger has reached critical and realizes the octopus creature interpret 'Spear' wrong. Why does no one get what I'm saying?! He gestures what he means by 'Spear.' The Speeeaaaar of Selene!
Selene: The goddess is still confused and her sphere de-materializes. I've never had a spear. Do you mean the Sword of Selene? That's down the hall-
Dewey has had enough, not wanting to hear about swords right now.
Dewey: No! The Spear of Selene! The one my Mom took! The one that's our only clue to finding her!
Selene gets up and realizes something about Dewey she probably should've figured the moment she saw his face.
Selene: Aah, you're Della's kid. He begins patting and stretching out Dewey's face much to his dismay. I should've realized you're just like her.
She gets up feeling sympathetic for the boy and for her missing friend.
Selene: I'm sorry. I haven't seen her in years, and I don't know what the Spear of Selene is.
Dewey turns in frustration and walks off with his arms crossed.
Dewey: So we're back to she stole Scrooge's spear and betrayed the family then. Great!
Selene: Selene throws up a hand in shock. Whaaat!? No way! She walks over and bends down to show him her sphere again. She loved her family more than anything in the world!
The sphere shows recorded images of Donald, Della and Scrooge conversing with Storkules and Selene during the old days when the entire duck family was much happier, carefree and energetic. Donald was in the centre talking with Scrooge bonding with Storkules while Della was at next to him bonding with Selene. They notice themselves being recorded by the sphere. Donald wraps his arms around his sister and uncle who're both smiling with hm. Selene happily crosses her arms and Storkules wraps his large arms around all of them as Zeus pops up looking miffed.
Selene: Aww, Della wasn't just a good person. She was the greatest! Della is using a sword and shield to defend a downed Donald from a humanoid monster and jumps up to attack it before scenes switch to Della and Selene laughing and getting along like sisters. And she and her brother made everyone around them better.
It's at this moment Dewey and Webby realizes they've been following the wrong lead. If Selene doesn't own a spear that can only mean one thing about it.
Webby: Maybe the Spear isn't an artefact. Maybe it's something else.
Selene: You're Mom did love a good mystery. She hands the sphere to Dewey and he looks like he's about to cry from his gift. Here. It's not a Spear. But it is a treasure even Della never found.
She stands and softly places her hand on Dewey's head while giving a warm and gentle smile.
Selene: Don't give up young duck. Your mother never did.
A touched, almost tearful and grateful Dewey puts aside his pride and puts down the sphere to hug Selene who warmly returns it. Webby moves about with a smile as though she waits for Dewey to thank her which he does by bringing her in the hug which she gladly joins in and the three of them are now in a group hug. Selene pushes them back and energy gathers in both her hand. That energy engulfs both Dewey and Webby who feel themselves getting healed, their clothes turn back to normal, their hairs are neat again and their wounds and bruises all disappear. They look at themselves in amazement and then gratefully at Selene who smugly moves her finger in a spell motion.
Selene: Psychic healing powers, one of my personal specialties. I also sensed in your minds that the two of you had a fight recently.
Dewey and Webby both tense up in fear and look to each other with nervous expressions and stammer in their speech, trying to think of an excuse but Selene holds up her hand to stop it.
Selene: I'll give the both of you sometime alone. She walks back and gracefully disappears in a secret passage.
Dewey and Webby look to each other regretfully and remorsefully, afraid of whether or not the other will forgive him/her.
Dewey: Um…Webby…about what happened back there…I…
Webby: Stop. Webby puts a finger to his beak. Dewey, you don't need to say anything…I'm the one who's sorry. Ever since we arrived on Ithaquack I've been so insensitive. I've been constantly theorising the possibility of your Mom betraying the family without ever taking into consideration how you were feeling about it. I had no idea you were so emotional about her.
Dewey: I've been an orphan 10 years of my life. I mean, I know we had Uncle Donald and he loved us but…it's just that I've always wanted to meet our birth parents. I don't even know who our Dad is or what he looks like. But I do know about my Mom and now that there's a chance of finding her I have to look for her no matter what.
Webby: I had no idea how much this meant to you. All I could think about was how excited I was to solve a big mystery like this. I never once thought about how you felt. She looks down in sadness as she thinks about her own life. I don't know who my own parents are but I never really let that get to me. Granny helped me move on from it all over the years. I assumed all other kids move on from their parents after they pass away. But…now I realize I was wrong and all I was really doing was breaking your confidence. She looks away from Dewey remorsefully while rubbing her shoulder. I really am so sorry Dewey. I'm sorry for how insensitive I've been lately about your Mom. Can you ever forgive me?
Dewey: Dewey just gives Webby a forgiving smile as she looks down and to her surprise he touches her shoulder. Its okay, Webs. I forgive you.
Thinking back to their earlier fight he looks down in sadness and regret as well.
Dewey: And…I'm sorry too…about our fight back there. I never meant to hurt you like that…or give you that black eye. And I'm sorry I almost got you killed in that snake pit. I was…
Webby: Webby just takes both his hands with a big smile on her face. It's okay. You were just trying to protect your Mom. I completely understand. And besides you wouldn't have done that if I hadn't pushed so hard with my theories about Della.
Dewey: It's okay. You were just excited. So was I. That's one of the things that makes me like you so much.
Webby: Webby can't help but be touched from that confession. Aww, thanks Dewey. Although, I do have one question…* She suddenly gets excited again.* …when and did you learn to fight so good!?
Dewey: Dewey waves his hand around with a smirk to emphasize what learnt. I may have spent some spare time watching karate movies, learned some self-defence moves with Huey and Louie and Uncle Scrooge may have taught us some of his fighting moves.
Webby: Huey and Louie too, even Louie?
Dewey: Yeah. He lowers his eyebrows looking unsurprised. Though he claims he's only doing it because he has nothing better to do, that he'd rather not be killed by the Beagle Boys again.
Webby: Webby just smiles with lowered eyebrows. Yeah. That sounds like Louie alright. The both of them laugh at Louie's lazy tendencies before Webby speaks up again. But that's really amazing. I've been doing intense training and workouts since I was like 4 years old. I kept pushing myself to my limit until I could no longer stand. But over the few months I've known you, you've already caught up with me. That's incredible, you're almost as good as I am.
Dewey: Thanks. He looks down briefly before giving a questioning look to Webby. Though I have a question of my own Webby, am I really your best friend.
Webby: Webby has a warm and gentle expression as she talks. Dewey, of course you're my best friend.
Dewey: I always thought that was Lena.
Webby: Lena's my best friend that's a girl. Of course she's my only friend that's a girl so far. She shakes her head and gets back on topic. But, you're my best friend that's a boy. We met 2 months ago and over that time I've gotten to know you Dewey. We have so much in common. I realized that in all those adventures we've been on and now…I really like you because of that.
Dewey: Dewey blushes and feels so touched he doesn't know the right words to say right now. Oh…well…I…I-I really like you too. What you've said to me, is the exact same way I feel about you. Your enthusiasm is what makes you, you.
Webby: Aww…thanks Dewey.
Dewey: I want you to know that You're my best friend too and I'm really grateful for the help you've been giving me in finding my Mom.
Webby: Before, I was doing it to solve Scrooge's biggest secret but now I have an even bigger reason. She takes Dewey's hands again. I want to help you Dewey. I wanna make you happy and give you and your brother's the chance to meet your Mom like you deserve. That's my new goal for solving this mystery.
Dewey: Webby…thanks…
Unable to suppress their emotions any longer the duo move in closer and wrap their arms around each other for a big hug, expressing their the friendship and un-admitted love they have for each other. They both separate and lovingly stare at each other as they hold hands.
Webby: Dewey. I'm really glad we're best friends.
Dewey: Me too Webs. Me too.
Webby: Thanks for saving me back there. If you hadn't come to my rescue I would've been sleeping with the snakes.
Dewey: Don't mention it. It was the least I could do. He frowns in guilt. It was my fault you almost died back their anyway.
Webby: Webby strokes Dewey's cheek. It's okay. That's behind us now. Besides… She leans in closer with a sly flirtatious expression. …you looked kinda handsome when you fought me.
She gives a huge kiss on Dewey's cheek, causing him to blush in complete surprise as his entire body tenses in shock and his eyes widen. Webby liking his meek expression puts her hands behind her back blushing and smiling.
Selene: Aww! How sweet!?
The kids yelp and look to see Selene right in front of them watching the whole thing while bent down with a cheeky expression.
Webby: How much of that did you watch!?
Selene: Oh, only the whole thing.
Dewey: But how did you-?
Selene: I used another secret passage. She points her to a visible circle, meaning she came via an elevating platform. She looks at them both with a sly expression. You know, I sense some real romance between you two.
Dewey & Webby: The both of them blush in embarrassment. Say what now!?
Webby: Hold on! You got it all wrong!
Webby waves her hands in denial but the sound of an earthquake saves the both of them from further embarrassment as the three of the yelp and struggle to keep their balance.
Dewey: What was that!?
Selene: Trouble! That's for sure! Come on! *They immediately run out of the garden.
Scenes shift back to the cliff on the beach where Dewey (holding the sphere), Webby and Selene arrive 10 minutes after leaving the temple. They freeze and gasp in shock to see what's happening before. Donald and Storkules are continuing with their fight with the both of them rapidly exchanging blows and despite Storkules being a God Donald is able to fight on par with the God of Strength.
Dewey: Uncle Donald!?
Webby: What's going on here!?
Donald is back handed and sent sliding towards the three of them. He opens his eyes and painfully smiles at the kids. Selene looks at another one of her old friends in surprise.
Donald: Hi kids.
Dewey: Did we miss something here?
Donald: You could say that.
Selene: Donald Duck!? Is that really you?
Donald gets on a leg and when he notices Selene standing in front of him he also becomes surprised and at the same time happy.
Donald: Selene!
Selene laughs with pure joy and delight and picks up Donald for a big hug, spinning him around as he returns it and they laugh together. Selene puts him down as she's bent down and both of them have a regular hug. Selene pulls back and they talk.
Selene: It's so wonderful to see you again!
Donald: Donald is a little hesitant but manages to say something nice. Uh…it's great to see you too. It's been a long time.
Selene: It sure has. She can't help but fawn the same way when she first met the sailor. Aww! Look at you! He touches and stretches out Donald's face the same way she did with Dewey much to his dismay. It's nice to see that adorable face hasn't changed that much after 10 years!
Donald: Hey stop that! Donald grabs her wrists and stops it. And even 10 years my handsome face is still sensitive!
Selene: Selene gets a little sheepish. Oops! Sorry…
Donald turns and quacks to see Storkules launching at them.
Donald: Whaack! Look out!
They jump out of the way when Storkules smashes his fist against the ground and creates another shockwave. Selene is shocked to see her brother attacking their friends.
Selene: Storkules!?
Storkules: Selene, is that you!?
The possessed demigod runs over to Donald and now the duck is finding himself evading more of Storkules' attack and Dewey just slides underneath him to escape him. The three of them look to see Donald trying to fend off Storkules as best as he can but struggling.
Dewey: Whoa! Who is that guy!?
Selene: That's my brother!?
Dewey: I'm sorry!? You're brother?
Webby: Dewey!? That's Storkules!? She holds out her hands presenting Storkules as if he's some award winning presentation as he and Donald exchange blows. The God of Strength! The God of Heroes!
Dewey: Dewey can't help but be disturbed to see the God of Heroes attack his uncle and Selene is just as worried. He doesn't seem that heroic with the way he's trying to kill my Uncle Donald!
Selene: He's right bro!? Why are you doing this!? You and Donald are best friends!
Donald: Acquaintances!
Storkules: Dear sister, I wish to stop, I truly do! But father is forcing my fists to betray my heart!
They hear a haunting melody and when they look to its source Selene and Webby are horrified to see it's a Siren Child.
Selene: Oh no…not a mind controlling Siren Child!
Dewey: A Siren-what!?
Webby: A Siren Child! They're able to control anyone just by singing their song! She must be controlling Storkules!
Selene looks around and grits her teeth in anger when she sees her father excitedly sitting on his throne, realizing that this is his doing.
Selene: Of course…
She runs over in front of her old man's throne and Dewey and Webby follow here.
Selene: Dad! What're you doing!?
Zeus: Doing what I should've done a long time ago daughter!
Selene: You're killing our friends! Are you that sore about losing to Scrooge all the time.
Selene becomes surprised to see Scrooge come up with the same expression of outrage along with Huey and Louie.
Scrooge: The lass is right! It's not my fault I'm the best at everything and you're the worst!
Zeus is starting to growl in anger and Huey is getting a little afraid.
Huey: Uh…you know you're only making this worse, right?
Selene: Selene casually waves at Scrooge. Hey! Scrooge, what's up?
Scrooge: Scrooge takes off his hat to greet his old friend. Greetings Selene, it's been a while. How've you been lass?
Selene: Well, things have gotten pretty boring ever since you guys were banished. But luckily, I have Storkules to have fun with and my father to prank. What about you? Still the adventure loving old man I knew.
Scrooge: Of course I am.
Webby: Uh…I hate to break up this touching reunion but…
They hear smacking and turn to see Donald shout it pain as he's punched in the face and lands on his back much to their horror.
Dewey, Huey & Louie: Uncle Donald!
Selene: This not good…
Huey: We have to think of something before Uncle Donald gets crushed!
Zeus: Oooh! Now that's a good idea! He points at Storkules then Donald. Storkules, crush him!
Storkules: NOOOOOO!
The possessed Storkules stomps over to Donald and launches multiple swings (while giving instructions on what to do) that Donald ducks to avoid and then he delivers a punch to the demigod's face. Storkules brings up his large his and brings it down to Donald who immediately crosses his arms to block it but groans in pain as he struggles to withstand against Storkules strength and his feet are slowly getting crushed inside the ground.
Webby: Donald is going to be CRUSHED!
Storkules: Know that I regret having to crush your tiny body glorious best friend Donald!
Donald: Storkules! You have to fight the melody! His feet dig deeper into the ground.
Storkules: Companion Donald, I would but unless the siren child stops singing I cannot be free of its control. He is forced to use a free hand to grab and hold up Donald by his beak and now the sailor is trying to escape but to no avail. Donald! You must summon "it" forth! It's the only way you can defeat me!
Donald widens his eye in shock as he knows what Storkules is referring to. He screams in pain as he is punched in the stomach and sent flying through a boulder.
Louie: Uncle Donald!
Donald gets up on one knee and looks to his nephews and Webby. He was hopping he wouldn't have to show them this but with how far Zeus is pushing him he has no other choice but to unleash his best weapon. He just has to be careful not to reveal his other secret.
Dewey: We have to help him.
Donald slow holds out his arm and opens up his hand.
Scrooge and Selene widen their eyes in surprise before smirking, understanding what the most daring adventurer in history is about to do. The kids all attempt to rush in but Scrooge holds back Huey and Louie with his cane and Selene grabs Dewey and Webby's shoulder.
Scrooge: Wait!
Louie: What do you mean wait!? Uncle Donald needs our help!
Scrooge: Not yet he does lad!
Dewey: Are you crazy!
Webby: But Mr McDuck! Donald can't hold out much longer!
Huey: There's no way he can beat Storkules like this!
Selene: Maybe not with his fists alone but with his secret weapon it'll be a different story.
Now Dewey, Huey, Louie and Webby are at a loss and have their eyebrows raised in confusion.
Dewey, Huey, Louie and Webby: Secret weapon!?
Donald has his eyes closed and concentrates as much as possible. A strange mystical sound is heard from afar.
The source of the sound is coming from Duckburg…at back of McDuck Manor…inside Donald's houseboat which is for some reason flaring with electricity. The electricity is strongest inside Donald's bedroom and inside the wall is a blue rod. The head of the rod is quite tall and sports an ornate, golden heart in its centre. This heart is surrounded by two blue-white wings that coil around the heart's base. It's flaring up with so much electricity it springs to life and bursts right out through the chimney before flying into the direction of Ithaquack.
Back on Ithaquack Storkules stomps over to Donald and Zeus sinisterly gives the final order.
Zeus: Enough fooling around! Storkules, finish him off!
Storkules charges right at Donald and the mystical sound is becoming louder and the kids become more scared and anxious until they spot something on the far horizon.
Webby: Hey, what's that!?
Dewey: Something's flying towards.
Selene and Scrooge have knowing smirks on their faces.
Selene: It's Showtime.
Scrooge: Now it begins.
The object that's flying towards them is creating immense waves from both sides. It's none other than the blue winged rod flying towards the island or rather Donald at high speed faster than a bullet. It reaches Donald in time and is clasped in his hand. Donald quickly turned and jumped faster than lightning, striking Storkules' face with the face of his rod and sends the demigod grunting loudly and slamming into a rock. The kids all gasp in shock and awe at what they just saw, Donald smacking a god in the face and sends him flying 10 feet away. Their mouths and eyes are wide open and Scrooge and Selene have their fists pumped in excitement, happy to see their chances of winning has increased.
Dewey: WHOA!
Huey: That…was…AWESOME! The kids are practically in fanboy/fangirl mode.
Louie: Did Uncle Donald just knock Storkules away with some stick!?
Scrooge proudly waves a finger at his great nephews.
Scrooge: That is no ordinary stick lads!
Webby: The legendary staff, Save the Queen!
As if to emphasize how legendary it is, Donald stands tall and holds his staff by his side. It glimmers and shines in the sunlight.
Huey: That's the staff Storkules told us about! The winged weapon in the jar paintings!
Louie: The staff Uncle Donald used to defeat Hades!?
Dewey: I'm sorry, WHAT!?
Selene: That's right! It's the very same one! One of Ithaquack's most ancient and powerful weapons. You're Uncle Donald used the power of that staff to save all of Ithaquack when he first came here with the rest of your family. He's a true hero!
Scrooge: Indeed! And it earned him many titles as well as many other achievements when he came here!
Zeus: He's no hero! They look to Zeus who is boiling with steaming anger. He's a thief! That staff should be a companion to a God, not a lowly mortal!
Scrooge: Scrooge points his cane in anger and everyone else gave the same expression. In case you forgot, my nephew used that staff to save your bellowing behind!
Zeus: I don't care! It's time I destroy your family and take back what's ours! Storkules! Kill him and reclaim Save the Queen!
Donald: Sorry, pal! But I'm not today! Let's go!
Donald twirls his staff around epically before getting into his traditional (KH) battle stance. The possessed Storkules get ups and lifts a large boulder off the ground. Donald rushes at the possessed just as he tosses the boulder. Donald knee slides beneath the boulder before standing and tossing Save the Queen. It rams into Storkules hand, sending him flying far back and hits the ground hard.
Storkules: Yes! Companion Donald! Fight me with all you have!
Storkules strains as he tries to get up but his right hand is stuck to the ground. Though he's unable to stand he's unable to move his right arm. The God of Strength's strength is not able to lift the small Save the Queen, making Zeus desperate.
Zeus: What are you doing!? Move your arm!
The Duck Family and Selene are in awe and amazement. The kids were also confused to see the possessed God of Heroes being unable to lift Save the Queen.
Louie: How is Storkules not able to move something so small!?
Dewey: Yeah! Uncle Donald was able to lift that thing like paper!?
Webby: Save the Queen only works for the wielder it's deemed worthy.
Selene: Right! And when someone unworthy tries to lift it's like trying to life and entire planet!
Storkules: My sister and the young pink wearing duckling are correct! Storkules continues trying to move Save the Queen but to no avail. Though I am Pure of Heart I am unworthy of wielding the power of mighty Save the Queen!
Donald runs and leaps up to knee Storkules in the face and send him stumbling back. The duck quickly picks up his staff and launches multiple strikes in the bird-themed gods face. Storkules swings his fists 4 times but Donald parries all his attacks with his powerful staff and lands another blow in the face and sending him back.
Donald leaps up with his staff up and gives a battle cry as he slams his staff against Storkules who quickly blocks the attack by crossing his arms. The impact causes a resonation of electricity that releases a gust of wind everyone is forced to shield themselves from. Donald is in a deadlock with the demigod and is standing his ground.
Donald: This is for my family!
He delivers a jump spin kick to the stomach before climbing up Storkules' large body and get on his back. He wraps his staff around his neck, hoping to strangle him into unconsciousness. Storkules grabs the staff and frantically struggles to shake Donald off.
Storkules: That's it! Strangle me into submission!
The boys are in awe of Donald's fighting prowess, the uncle who's rarely done a cool thing in his life and Webby is fangirling over it with her hands beneath her beak.
Huey: Whoa…
Dewey: Awesome…
Louie: Our uncle is so cool…!
Webby: Of course he is! He's the coolest guy ever! She raises her fists in excitement. Go Donald!
Donald continues to hold onto Storkules as tight as possible and continues trying to strangle him until he's unconscious but the possessed God of strength eventually grabs him by the cape and tosses him away. Donald is sent screaming and sprawling onto the ground but he manages to skid on his feet and then leap towards Storkules. He launches a barrage of slices with the winged part of Save the Queen but Storkules manages to dodge them all and eventually gets his best friend in a shoulder lock. Donald groans as he struggles to resist his grip and escape.
Storkules: Know that I regret this most bitterly!
A tone of regret is evident in his voice but luckily Scrooge finally jumps into back up his nephew by getting on Storkules' back and wraps his cane around his beak, holding him back. Scrooge smiles at his nephew.
Scrooge: Seems like old times! Eh, lad!?
Donald chuckles a little in agreement.
Donald: Yeah. I guess I missed this a little.
Storkules is surrounded in a blue outline and feels himself being held back further. Selene has her hands held out and they swirl with light blue energy as she uses her psychic powers to hold back her brother from doing more damage. Selene puts on a strained smile.
Selene: Boy, have I missed this!
The kids all run up and watch everything unfold (and Dewey is still holding the Sphere of Selene) as the Siren Child sings in the background. Right now, their uncle's and Selene are doing well but even with all of them working together Storkules is far too strong and Zeus is not going to give up until the entire family is destroyed.
Dewey: How do we stop this!?
Webby: Storkules is doing this because of the melody from the Siren Child!
Huey: Huey puts his hands on his face. Then it's clear what we have to do! We need to stop the singing!
Louie: I'm on it! Louie immediately runs over to the girl and feigns an impressed expression with his hands behind his back. What a magical voice! Do you have any idea how money I could make out of a voice like yours!? Zeus just wants to use you! I want to use you to make us both rich! He holds out his hand for a handshake. Whaddya say?
The child looks to him contemplating the offer and after processing his words she makes her decision. Her eyes lose their glow and she stops singing before giving Louie a sweet smile. She throws away her fleece and shakes Louie's hand.
Siren Child: You've got a deal!
The child's true voice is revealed to be deep, raspy and more masculine, creeping Louie out and making the evil triplet unsure of the deal he just made.
Louie: Great.
Storkules eventually throws Scrooge back and sends the elderly duck flying into Selene. The both of the grunt as they drop to the ground but luckily with the singing stopped the glow in Storkules eyes disappears.
Storkules: Huh? It takes 5 seconds for Storkules to realize he is free and immediately holds up Donald in happiness as the duck holds Save the Queen in his hand. Donald! You have saved me! Come here!
He laughs in joy and relief as he hugs Donald and rolls around in the ground. Donald doesn't struggle this time and decides to let Storkules enjoy his freedom but this scene causes Zeus to become distressed and run over with his hand on his head.
Zeus: Don't hug the enemy! What're you doing!?
Scrooge walk over dusting himself off and watches with a touched smile.
Scrooge: They're best friends.
Donald: Acquaintances!
Scrooge: Scrooge gives the angered Zeus a reasonable expression. Perhaps we've been letting our pride get in the way for decades and it's our families who suffer. What do you say? Peace? Scrooge offers up a handshake which Zeus rudely slaps away. Scrooge becomes annoyed with his bad sportsmanship. Does beating me really mean that much to you?
Zeus: He turns away pouting and crossing his arms. Yes! Absolutely!
Scrooge: Scrooge sighs in defeat, realizing that there's only one way to get Zeus to let them leave. Ugh…fine. One final challenge. Winner gets all the glory.
He holds out his hand again and after some thinking Zeus firmly shakes and accepts it.
Scenes cut to behind the temple where Donald is. He walks up near the very edge of this cliff (holding Save the Queen beside him) where an ancient trapezium shaped pedestal lies. He looks at it but instead an expression of hate like he's had since arriving here he looks at it fondly, for it's the very place Donald acquired Save the Queen and where he and Della were making amends.
(Flashback)
We go back 61 years ago. Donald in his blue sailor attire was stood in front of the pedestal along with a female duck with short white hair wearing a brown pilot uniform, brown pilot hat with goggles, tan brown cargo shorts and a blue scarf wrapped around her neck. This was Donald's long lost twin sister, Della Duck.
In front of the twins on the pedestal lay Save the Queen. After Della apologised to her brother for everything she and Uncle Scrooge put him through and restored his confidence and love for adventure the two of them decide they're going to need a special weapon to gain the edge over Hades. Donald looks at the staff a little hesitant about trying to pick it up.
Della: If we're gonna stop that hothead Hades, we're gonna need a weapon with some real punch.
Donald: Donald slumps and sighs in worry. Della I'm not sure about this.
Della: Della looks to him in surprise. What're you talking about!? All you have to do is pick the staff off the pedestal.
Donald: Easy for you to say. There's no way I could possibly be worthy of this thing.
Della: You're wrong, Donnie! No one in this world could possibly be more worthy of wielding this weapon than you!
Donald: What makes you so sure of that? Not even you could lift it. When I saw you step up with so much confidence I assumed you'd be able to pick it up with ease. But I was shocked to see that you couldn't.
Della: Della walks up to Donald with a sad expression. Of course I couldn't lift it! But I know you can. There no one else I know who has a purer heart than you Donald.
Donald: Sis, that's impossible. Ever since we came to this island I've been acting like a complete jerk, I blew up at you and Uncle Scrooge, I said really horrible words to you back there and worst of all…I used my magic to hurt you…just like I did after our parents died.
He looks down in shame, remembering their fight in the El Dorado and how Donald almost strangled Della. His eyes glisten a little bit.
Donald: With all that on my shoulder I don't think I even deserve to use this staff. He lets tears go down his face a little. I don't think I even deserve you…as my sister. I'm just a big palooka.
Della: Donald… Della just comes up and wipes Donald's tear drop before taking his hands and looking right at him with a sad but compassionate smile. You couldn't be any farther from the truth. It's not me you don't deserve. I'm the one who doesn't deserve you. For a year now ever since you came back from that Quackmore Institute I've been a terrible sister. She begins feeling shame and regret as she speaks. Uncle Scrooge and I have been completely ignoring you and have made you feel humiliated and underappreciated. We never wanted to make you feel this way but we did. She begins rubbing Donald's cheek. You're my twin brother Donnie and you deserve better than that. You've done some much for us and I can't tell you how much the means to me. The problem was that I never bothered expressing it. If anyone's not worthy of wielding Save the Queen it's me.
Donald: Donald can't help but be touched by his sister's words. Della…
Della: When our parents died I completely destroyed the bond you and I had instead of supporting you. And for a year Uncle Scrooge and I almost got you killed more times than I can count and today we went too far. Della lets more tears stream down her face as Donald continues looking at her. So of course I don't have a pure heart…but you do. She gives off a big smile. You've always been there for me… Ever since we were kids you've been protecting me, even after everything I said after our parents died you gave me a second chance. And most of all, you've put up with us for so long despite everything Scrooge and I have put you through. If anyone has what it takes; it's you.
Donald: You really think so? Donald lets more tears stream down his face and so does Della.
Della: I know so bro.
The Duck Twins tearfully smile with touched expressions before wrapping their arms around each other for a big hug, mending their relationship.
Della: I believe in you Donald. I know you can do it.
Donald pulls back with a smile and wipes the remainder of his tears.
Donald: Thank you Della. I'll give it a try.
Brimming with new confidence Donald steps up to the pedestal. He stands right in front of Save the Queen and hears it call out to him again. He lowers his eyebrows as his hands sparks with electricity and grabs onto the staff. He begins trying to pull it off the pedestal with all his strength. The staff is swirling with electricity again but instead of electrocuting Donald like it did with Della it just envelops him. Donald's grunts of effort grow louder and louder as her sister watches in awe as a thunderstorm claps above. Donald yells out in determination and yanks Save the Queen out of its resting place in slow motion. Della widens her eye in complete amazement and a blast of lightning bursts out of the pedestal and into the clouds. After the lightning subsides Donald holds his staff staring at it in utter shock to see that he has done it. He has lifted up one of the world's most powerful weapons that not even the Greek Gods could remove. He has removed Save the Queen.
Donald: I…I did it! He looks to Della in excitement. DELLA, I REALLY DID IT!
Della: Della is holding her head in excitement. OF COURSE YOU DID DONNIE! COME HERE YOU!
She holds out her arms and Donald jumps into them. The Duck Twins laugh as they spin around excitedly in a hug. They calm down and to each other in happiness while holding hands.
Della: You did it Donnie! You really did it!
Donald: I can't believe that I removed this thing! I really am worthy after all!
Della: Well I definitely believe it! Of course you removed it! After all… She compassionately smiles and holds the staff with Donald. …You're my brother, you powerful mage, you.
Donald: Aww, Della… I would never have been able to do this if you hadn't encouraged me. Thanks sis.
They stand their smiling at each other until Save the Queen begins to glow. Donald pulls back and thrusts it high into the air, unleashing a blast of blue lightning that clears the clouds the sun shines again. In response to this display Della smiles at her and holds out her hand. In a blast of light appears the sword Selene gave to her, Godslayer.
It's a shiny silver, collapsible, sharp double edged sword with a knife attached to the hilt and it looks like two blades are combined.
The twins smile at each other holding their respective ancient weapons by their sides.
Donald: Duck Twins forever?
Della: Duck Twins forever!
The two immediately cross their weapons in the air together with eager and determined smiles, knowing what it is they have to do.
Donald: Then let's go get that stinking Hades!
Della: Yeah!
(End of Flashback)
Donald chuckles from remembering that fond memory with his sister and continues looking back to the pedestal.
Donald: That Della.
Selene: Looking back on the old days I see.
Donald turns around to see the smiling figures of Selene and Storkules who followed him up here. Instead of being annoyed he just smiles to see them here.
Donald: Yeah. This place behind the temple holds a good memory for me.
Storkules: Indeed. The two gods walk up to him and look at the pedestal with him. This pedestal was once the very resting place of the legendary and powerful Save the Queen.
Selene: And you Donald proved you had the qualities to remove it.
Donald: Honestly you guys, I may not have had the confidence to even try if Della hadn't encouraged me. He lowers his eyebrows and frowns in regret. I said a lot of awful things to Della that day and I even hurt her. His frown turns into a smile. But despite all that, she forgave me and tried to make me feel better.
Selene: Selene bends down and touches Donald's shoulder. She wanted you to forgive her too.
Donald: I know. And I did. I forgave her and Uncle Scrooge.
Storkules: And thanks to you Noble Donald, Fierce Della and Corporate Overlord Scrooge we were saved from vicious Hades.
Selene: You know Donald, I've been meaning to know…where's Della?
Donald's eyes widen before looking down morosely unable to bring himself to talk about what happened to his sister who was so close to Selene. The Goddess looks to Storkules for answers but he looks down with the same expression while shaking his head. Selene looks to Donald and looks down in the same sadness, realizing something terrible has happened to her friend and Donald suffered a terrible loss.
Selene: Oh… I see… I'm sorry for your loss… He sadness turns into a soft compassionate smile and she gets up. She puts her hand on Donald's shoulder again, grabbing his attention. I don't know what happened… but don't let it stop you. Della will always be in your heart. So don't give up Donald. Your sister never did. And neither have you.
Donald with an almost tearful expression wraps his arms around Selene for a hug to which she gladly returns. Storkules wraps his large arms around them both and lifts them up which they're slightly surprised by at first but completely accept it, even Donald.
Louie: HEEY!
Storkules puts them down and they look to see Dewey, Huey, Louie and Webby run up to them. Storkules and Selene wave at them while Donald just smiles.
Donald: Hey kids-!
Before he could say anything else the 4 kids tackle him to the ground and cheer out words of joy and excitement, asking questions and congratulating Donald as he laughs along with them. Storkules and Selene watch this scene with their hands on their hips.
Donald: Calm down kids! One at a time!
The one who speaks leans their faces closer.
Dewey: Uncle Donald! That was amazing!
Huey: You're so strong!
Louie: That was even cooler than that stuff in Macaw!
Webby: I knew the greatest adventurer ever Donald!
Dewey: You owe us a big story!
Donald lifts himself off as he still laughs and the kids are fans mode while Donald smiles.
Louie: Wow! Uncle Donald, you were awesome!
Huey: You fought two gods and lived to tell the tale!
Dewey: You never told us you were that strong!
Donald: There's a lot of things I haven't told you about me yet kids. But I'll be sure to tell you all about them when the time comes.
Webby: Webby is practically hoping about in excitement. You'd better! There's so much we want to know more than ever before now!
The kids are now all excitedly talking to each other and Donald, Storkules and Selene smile to see the happy expressions.
Selene: These are such wonderful kids.
Storkules: Indeed! Each of them has the heart and makings of true heroes.
Donald: Yeah, they sure do.
Selene: You've raised some special boys Donald. Della's little boys are so much like her.
Donald's expression becomes fonder from hearing that.
Donald: Yeah. They each carry a part of her inside them.
Storkules: A valiant hero and a loving father figure. Is there nothing you can't be Magnanimous Donald?
Donald: A plane pilot.
Storkules laughs at his joking response and pats him hard, much to Donald's discomfort when his feet dig into the ground. Selene whispers in Donald's ear while the kids are distracted.
Selene: Say Donald. Do the kids even know that you're…?
Donald: Selene didn't need to finish her sentence for Donald to know what she means. No, they don't. Not yet anyway. And I'd appreciate if you two could keep it a secret from them.
Storkules: By our honour as heroes of course we'll keep this secret old friend. Selene giggles at her brother's excited personality over everything. Besides, sharing this secret is not our job. It is something that must be done by you…Mage of Thunder.
Donald: Donald smiles at Storkules gratefully before fondly looking down in remembrance. I haven't heard that title in a long time. Thanks Storkules, Selene.
Dewey: Hey, what're you guys talking about?
They three look to see the 4 kids staring at them with curious expressions but they calmly change the subject.
Donald: Nothing important. Come on kids. Let's go check on your Uncle Scrooge then get off this island.
Donald gets out of the ground and walks back to the gaming grounds with Louie, Huey and Storkules without knowing Selene, Dewey and Webby stayed back for a bit to watch them walk off with warm smiles on their faces.
Selene: It really warms my heart to see Storkules so happy. We haven't felt this overjoyed about anything ever since Scrooge and his family were banished.
Dewey: And it seems like the more adventures we go on with Uncle Donald the more stuff we know about him. I never knew he could wield and awesome mystical weapon like that.
He brings out the Sphere of Selene from his toon space and looks at in curiosity as Webby excitedly talks.
Webby: I did! And it's one of the hundreds of reasons I look up to him so much!
Dewey: The duo looks to Selene. Say, Selene. What was my Uncle Donald like back in the old days when he was adventuring with Mom and Uncle Scrooge?
Selene: I'll be glad to share that with you. Selene bends down to his left with a soft smile again. I'm not sure how Donald has changed over the years but one thing I know that hasn't changed is his big heart and like Della he loved and cared about his family more than anything in the world!
She touches her sphere and shows more recorded images of Donald, Della and Scrooge back in their happier days 10 years ago. It first shows the recording of them conversing with Selene and Storkules again.
Selene: Aww, Donald wasn't just a good person; he was the greatest! Scenes cut to Donald's one on one fight against Medusa with a sword. He was a daring and true hero. Donald is slaying the Chimera with nothing but a sword and slicing its next repeatedly. Whenever he fought, he always did it with all his heart. Scenes then cut to him holding Godslayer and Save the Queen while protecting an injured Della from Hades, he jumps for an attack. He was a little quick to anger but he always used that anger to protect his family, especially his twin sister. An angry Donald is charges the Minotaur and aims his fist at its head. The bond and love between Donald and Della was stronger than anything I had ever seen. The twins were hugging each other before waving in front. Those two were the Duck Twins! Together they made the ultimate team! Donald and Della stand back to back with their staff and sword facing an army of gladiator skeletons together. Out of anyone and everyone I know Donald was the best! Storkules picks Donald up for a bear hug much to his chagrin but he gives in.
Dewey and Webby are in complete awe of what they're seeing. Webby has always known Donald was cool deep down and this was proof. Dewey is amazed to see that his uncle who does ridiculous overprotective measures was so cool back in the old days. What he was witnessing wasn't a boring uncle. It was the true Donald Duck, the protector, the warrior, THE hero, the greatest and most daring adventurer of all times.
Dewey: Whoa! But…if Uncle Donald was so amazing back then, why's he so different now?
Webby: Maybe, whatever happened to Della had a really bad effect on him.
Selene: The both of them were the best of friends. Said they made up half of one another.
Dewey and Webby look to each other with smiling determination, having another big reason to find Della.
Dewey: Then that's all the more reason to find my Mom as soon as possible.
Webby: Yeah! If we can find Della then Donald can reunite with his twin sister and he'll be happy again!
Dewey: They gratefully turn to Selene. Thanks a lot for everything Selene! We owe you.
Selene: Aww, don't mention it. She touches both their heads. I'd do anything to help the Duck and McDuck family. I don't know what happened to Della but I'm sure she's out there somewhere. Good luck in finding her. Do your best!
Dewey & Webby: Right!
Donald, Huey, Louie and Storkules are the first to see Scrooge and Zeus seemingly intense showdown. They vehemently stare at the ground with fiery intensity but in reality they were just playing a simple game of Bocce Balls and it seems the scores are tied. Zeus is hungry for at least one win and Scrooge with a disinterest look who just wants to get off this island decides to forfeit the game by letting Zeus win. He does this by sampling dropping the ball so it doesn't hit Zeus' one which on the white circle.
Scrooge: He half-heartedly threw up his hands before putting them on his hips. Ohhh. I cannot believe I chocked on the last round!
Zeus: An egocentric Zeus buys it and triumphantly raises his fists in the air. YES! I WIN! He victoriously points at Scrooge. In your face McDuck! He begins carrying out an obnoxious victory dance. #I win! Say it out loud! I win, you love it now! Yeah, go! I win!# He spins and does a split on the ground before aiming his finger up and sending out blasts of electricity that cancel out the force field.
Zeus obnoxiously flexes his muscles while Scrooge deadpans at how it took this to allow them to escape. Donald is just happy they're finally leaving. He feels Storkules place a hand on his shoulder and turns to see the demigod smiling with an expression of wisdom.
Storkules: You may think you're done with adventure, but IT will never be done with you. Storkules casually points and instead of being angry Donald just smiles at him for the advice. You're a hero. Whether you want to be or not.
Donald: Donald looks down absorbing the rare words of wisdom from the God of Strength. I do not, but thanks… He gives a smile of gratitude. …Friend Storkules.
These two words were like a gift from the heaven to Storkules as he hasn't heard Donald call him that for so long causing him to move his hands in excitement as Donald slowly steps back.
Storkules: HE CALLED ME HIS FRIEND! HE SAID IT BACK! HA HA! He grabs Donald for another tight bear hug which he struggles to get out of in vain. THIS IS THE MOST GLORIOUS DAY OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!
Already Donald is regretting his last sentence but gives in to let Storkules enjoy himself.
Scrooge sees Dewey and Webby arrive behind him.
Scrooge: There you two are! Right, let's get back to the plane before he comes up with another cockamamie contest.
Dewey gives Webby a smile of gratitude as he rubs his sphere and she returns the smile.
Dewey: Thanks for pushing me back there. I promise I'll never stop until we find the truth. He dramatically holds up the sphere. With this Sphere as my witness, I-!
Unfortunately, he drops the sphere as he was monologing and it rolls across the floor table, taking the place of Zeus ball. Dewey runs over to pick it up but Zeus thinks the game was still on sees this as a way of cheating him out of his victory.
Zeus: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
His shout of anger causes thunder to clap and the biggest storm ever to be created. The Duck Family look up in complete shock and terror as the strong wind blows through their hair.
Webby: The wrath of the GODS!
Scrooge: We should go now!
Not wanting to face Zeus' wrath the Donald, Scrooge, Dewey, Huey, Louie and Webby make a run for it back to where they landed only to find that Launchpad has completely torn apart the plane and inspecting a bolt.
Launchpad: OK. I think I found the problem.
They stare in complete wide-eyed horror while Donald deadpans.
Donald: Whelp. We're dead.
Things couldn't possibly get any worse than this.
