The Spear Of Celaeno

by Starfire Protector

After having an argument with her brother Donald, Della's plan to steal the Spear Of Selene is foiled by her friend Captain Celaeno, who steals the rocket ship first, in a desperate attempt to keep the family together. This is a crossover, Alternative World that I'm still working on. Suggestions are appreciated. I own nothing but the story.

9. Chapter 9

The sun was just setting as the family of ducks walked to Mullet's home, which was just outside of Duckburg
"Hey Mullet." Della said as she walked up to the eyepacthed parrot. His green feathers puffed up for a moment, but smoothed down.

"What can I do for you, Della?" he asked in his slightly raspy voice.

"The kids want to know about..Celaeno."

"Oh. Well, sit down and tell me what you wish to know."

Dewey sat down next to Della's legs. "What was she like?" he asked. Mullet's eye softened slightly.
"She was everything a crew would want from a captain. Strong, fearless, yet caring and compassionate."

"Did she have any disabilities?" Huey inquired.

"Her right leg was slightly deformed, so she couldn't stand or walk properly." he answered.

"At one point, she had to use Uncle Scrooge's cane." Della added.

"We did some snooping and we know she had an airship." Webby admitted. "Do you still have it?"

Mullet and Della looked at each other, then nodded.

"Uncle Scrooge wanted to burn it out of grief, but I wanted to keep it. So..."

~~Flashback~~

Scrooge paced back and fourth in front of the massive airship. It's rainbow colored sails were folded, so it looked much more dull.

"What are we to do with it?" Donald asked.

"Maybe we can keep it an-" Della started.

"Burn it," Scrooge interrupted.

"Wait..Why?" Della asked.

"Ah said burn it." Scrooge then turned away.

"I...I don't want to burn it." Della said, her eyes filling with teardrops.

"Della, Ah'm done talking about this." Scrooge said. He then walked away.

Della turned to Donald. "Please Donald, help me hide it!"
Donald contacted Mullet and together, the three of them hid it in an old barn. They gathered some of the tresures from it and locked them up in The Archives so they would be safe.

~~End Flashback~~

"It's been forever since any of us looked at it." Della finished. "I wonder if it's still in decent shape."

"We should find out!" Webby said jumping up.

"Yeah,to see if there's any leftover treasure."Louie added.

Mullet opened his beak to speak when the sound of a rocket interrupted them. The group looked up at the sky and watches as a rocket ship sped down to the ground, crashing behind some trees.

"Can...Can it be?" Della choked.
