They make it to the command room, and knock on the door to be let in.
"Dr Gearloose, Huey, let us in." Boone says. They then notice that a large patrol of Lil Bulbs spotted them and are approaching. "Gearloose! Kid! Open this door now!" As he bangs on the door, all four not wanting to be captured again.
"Um, a bit busy!" Huey exclaims as he tries to hold off a bunch of Lil Bulbs trying to enter through the vent.
"Gearloose! We don't have much time! Let us inside!" Boone demands.
"I've almost got it..." Gyro lies as he types away.
"For the love of the gods Gearloose if we die because of you I swear I will haunt you for the rest of your miserable existence!" Boone threatens as the 4 fight off the Lil Bulbs, getting zapped every so often.
"Grr, fine!" Gearloose relents and lets them in as they burst through and promptly force the door closed, holding it while forcing any errant bulbs out, only OG Lil' Bulb and the 'converted' Lil' Bulb in.
Cross and Dewey hold the door shut as the GCDS-LBs try to force it open. Meanwhile Webby helps Huey hold the vent shut. Boone goes to Gyro, not pleased in the slightest.
"What the hell is taking you so long!? We were almost dropped two miles to our deaths!" Boone snaps.
"Hey, I'm doing the best I can! Do you know how hard it is to isolate the primary coding from the network?!" Gyro says as he tries
"Oh for the love of- Step aside!" As Boone shoves Gyro aside and looks through the coding. He scans through it all, knowing a thing or two about code as he also sends it to a coding master in the clan, asking for assistance.
Gyro rolls his eyes and watches, skeptical. "Oh please, I programmed it! If anyone could find the problem it is me. Besides, it is two issues apparently, not one. The Lil Bulbs operate on a separate network from the other components, linked via communications, as they are the primary failsafe. Something happened that means they are aggressive as well."
Hearing this, Boone makes a realization. "Which line is the network link code in?"
"One three zero four, but I don't see what that-" As Gyro says, Boone shows him the error being the linking of the two networks fully, behavior included, instead of just communications. "Ah, yes that would do it..."
Boone sighs and rolls his eyes, works to isolate them, the ones holding the bulbs off having trouble as it seems they may be overrun. "Just one more, line..." As Boone soon hits enter and...
The banging on the door and vent cease, and Webby, Huey, Dewey, and Cross step back, and there is a knock on the door. Boone opens it, to reveal the Bulbs are reverted to normal.
"Told you I knew what I was doing." Boone smiles as the Lil Bulbs salute them.
"Show off..." Gyro says, then kneels down to the Lil Bulbs. "Alright my children, we need to fix this. All of Duckburg is counting on you. Prepare killswitch protocol-"
"WARNING! WARNING! SYSTEM BREECH DETECTED! COMMENCING LOCKOUT PROTOCOL!" Is heard on the intercom.
Eyes wide, Boone goes over to Gyro and drags him up by his vest. "What does it mean, lockout?"
"Well, erm, in case someone had hacked into and interfered with the system I, sorta, programmed the mothership to, well, override and take automatic control. I-" As Gyro is cut off.
"In simple terms?" Dewey asks.
"It can no longer be shut off." Gyro states.
"WHAT!?" The other five yell.
"So this thing is now stuck attacking everything?!" Cross asks.
"Erm, yes." Gyro says.
"Fuck!" Boone yells letting Gyro go. "We can't shut it down! We can't reprogram it! We can't shoot it down! We are one hundred percent, fucked!"
"About as much as we nearly were when that government pilot flew his helicopter into us..." Cross says.
Then, Huey gets an idea from. "Wait, maybe we don't have to do any of that. What if we use the craft itself to destroy itself?"
"Oh shit the kid is going crazy! Way to fucking go Gearloose you-" Boone starts to rant.
"No, just hear me out. Dr Gearloose said we were locked out of everything, right?" Huey explains.
"Yeah. Well, everything but steering but I don't know how that ooooohhh..." As he realizes.
"Kid. What are you suggesting?" Cross asks.
"I'm saying we pull a Launchpad! We crash this thing." Huey states.
"Kid, you do know the sort of damage that would do, right?" Boone asks.
"Not if we crash it into the sea!" Huey states as everyone realizes.
"Okay but, uh, one problem. Uh, WE'RE STILL ONBOARD!" Boone points out.
"And that is where the crew come in..." Huey points to the Lil' Bulbs.
"Oh, of course, they are the main backup pilots! Silly me!" Gyro says, smacking his forehead.
"So, you are saying we convince a bunch of lightbulbs to kamikaze into the sea, therefore sacrificing themselves?" Boone asks bluntly.
"You got any better ideas?" Gyro asks, Boone realizing he has none.
"Fair point. You do the orders, we'll be in the transport if you need us." As he starts to leave with Carol.
The others roll their eyes as all but Huey and Gyro initially follow. They rush there without running, before Gyro and Huey run past.
"Hurry not much time!" Gyro yells as the craft starts to nose-down.
The others hurry before it is too late. Soon, all six are at the docking station, when...
"Ahh!" Cross slips and starts to slide down the hall as it is too steep.
"Carol!" Boone lunges and grabs Cross's hand. "I gotcha! Just hold on!"
However, she starts to lose her grip, horror on their faces. "I, can't!"
"Come on! Guys help me!" Boone yells in worry as his beloved RHL slowly slips out of his hand to what would be definite doom. Soon, after slipping to fingertips, Cross slips out of his grasp. "Noooo!" Boone cries out in distress, as a pink blur flashes past towards Cross, a shiny grey blur going up past him the opposite direction moments later. Looking down, he sees Webby has grabbed onto Cross, and used her grappling hook.
Webby retracts her grappling hook, pulling the two up. Soon in safety, the rest rush into the transport. Once safe, Webby finds herself in Boone's arms, held in a tight hug.
"Thank you! Thank you! Oh thank the gods you blessed child! I am forever in your debt!" As he tearfully thanks the pink duckling for saving his beloved.
"Not to interrupt the moment but, CAN WE GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE WE CRASH INTO THE SEA!" Dewey exclaims as they get close.
OG LB detaches the craft and pulls it out of the dive, gets it to safety as they fly past. They watch as the massive command craft crashes into the sea at high speed, it definitely enough to destroy it, as all the subunits shut down and start falling from the sky, all crashing into the sea as OG LB and the converted GCDS-LB salute their fallen brethren.
