Soon enough, the golden dragon was turning back into stone from the Medusa Gauntlet, and where its tail began to do a little twisting. This sent Scrooge flying in the air.

"SCROOGE!" The others cried out in a panic.

Pixiu was soon fully turned to stone. His head seemed to crack off before landing in the gold pile. Scrooge soon landed after him and dove into the gold like it was his own swimming pool. Everyone was worried until they saw him come out okay and well.

"Wahoo!" Atticus smiled.

The others cheered happily as Scrooge swam in his gold.

"Aw, family truly is the greatest adventure of-OH, NO, THE GROUND!" Launchpad replied.

And where they soon crash landed.

"Cherry? Cherry!" Atticus cried out before holding his best friend. "OH, MY GOSH, PLEASE, NO!"

Cherry's eyes flashed open.

"Cherry, are you okay?" Atticus asked.

"Am I dead?" Cherry asked. "I'm stuck with you and there's fire everywhere."

"Nope, you're not dead." Atticus said.

"Great." Cherry deadpanned.

"In the short time I've known ye, ye've wrecked my home and my money bin, unleashed several ancient evils, and almost got me killed, twice." Scrooge scolded the kids.

"Four times if you count each monster as an individual-" Huey began.

Scrooge looked like he was about to punish the kids only to start laughing.

Everyone looked confused.

"That was incredible!" Scrooge smiled to all of them. "When ye pulled me into the airplane and said 'No time!' And who would have thought of a Medusa Gauntlet?! Brilliant! Oh, and then ye swung me out and pulled up just in time and-Ye kids are nothing. but trouble! Curse me kilts, have I missed trouble! I suppose I'll have to keep an eye on ye to teach ye how to get into trouble properly."

"You mean...?" Dewey smiled out of excitement.

"Beakley!" Scrooge called as he took out his phone. "Clear my schedule! I'm taking the wee ones on a field trip."

'About time,' Beakley replied as the kids cheered. ' And once again, I am not your secre-'

"Now," Scrooge smiled to the others as he hung up the phone. "Let's go find the lost city of Atlantis!"

This caused the ducklings and humans and Launchpad to cheer.

"And no one tell yer Uncle Donald!" Scrooge smiled.

Everyone then cheered again.'

"Who is that?" Launchpad asked.

"A duck with a hot temper and is overprotective." Cherry said.


They were soon all getting set to visit Atlantis which was often a myth or a legend to those who had heard of it. They went into the sea, of course, by submarine. Cherry looked a little sick to her stomach as they traveled before going underwater. Atticus seemed slightly nervous about a possibility of the submarine breaking and they would all drown. Scrooge soon got a call. Scrooge talked on the phone while everyone else was in the lower deck, and where it was Donald that was on the phone at his new job.

"Ah, come on, Cherry, don't be so sick." Atticus said.

"Yeah?" Cherry smirked. "You're the one afraid to swim."

"You already know why I'm afraid of the ocean!" Atticus glared.

Cherry smirked innocently.

"You don't know how to swim either!" Atticus told her.

"Yeah... But I'm not scared of water." Cherry replied.

"You already know why I'm scared of the water." Atticus frowned.

Cherry smirked, but then pouted since he was frowning. "I'm sorry..." She then muttered, though was really sorry since it made him unhappy.

Atticus soon looked away from the window so he wouldn't see the ocean.

"He's afraid of the ocean?" Mo asked Cherry.

"Uh... Yeah..." Cherry said as she touched her hair slightly. "He had a nightmare about drowning once."

"I even almost drowned one time." Atticus said.

"Why didn't you help him?" Mo asked Cherry.

Cherry smiled nervously. "I don't know how to swim either."

"Oh..." Mo said.

"Hoist the mainsail!" Dewey proclaimed. "Other boat words, to Atlantis! Dive! Dive!"

"No, wait!" Mo panicked.

"Aye-Aye!" Launchpad saluted and they soon went under the water.

"Launchpad, the hatch!" Scrooge cried out as they were now diving under the water.

The submarine was now almost filled with water.

Atticus panted and wheezed nervously as he thought maybe they were sinking due the incoming water. "We're gonna die, we're gonna drown, and then we're gonna die, HEEEEELP!"

Cherry slapped him. "Get a hold of yourself, man!"

"Sorry, sorry." Atticus sighed.

Cherry soon felt her hand throb. "Ow...?!" She whimpered before holding her own hand.

"You okay?" Atticus asked.

"I feel like I just punched a wall..." Cherry hissed in pain.

Dewey soon came down in excitement.

Scrooge took off his hat and got splashed by the water filled on the inside of it before handing the phone to Louie. "Talk to yer uncle."

'I wonder how he'll handle this.' Mo thought to herself.

"Hey, Uncle Donald," Louie greeted as he helped Webby. " Nope, yeah, pretty boring. We napped, rubbed ointment on our joints, old people stuff."

"But what about the dragon and the plane crash and-?" Webby asked.

"Whoops! 3:00 PM, time for dinner, bye!" Louie smiled nervously and hung up on his guardian.

"Why didn't you tell him the truth?" Webby asked.

"You didn't tell your grandma we were going to a dangerous underwater city, did you?" Louie replied.

"Um, well, me and Webby kind of didn't tell her anything?" Mo smiled nervously.

"Girls!" Atticus gasped. "That's irresponsible! She'll be worried sick! Call your grandma this instant and tell her that you are spending the night at a friend's house, okay?"

"Isn't that lying?" Mo asked.

"Lying: It's the responsible thing to do." Louie advised.

"It's better than having her being worried sick." Cherry said.

Mo soon took the phone and called Mrs. Beakley.

"You've got this." Atticus said.

Mo took a deep breath as she dialed the number and called the old duck woman she once lived with as a young ward.

"I just know this is gonna be like Huey's best day ever." Cherry commented.

"Hi, Mrs. Beakley, I'm with Webby and we're at a friend's house and nothing is wrong!" Mo panicked before hanging up.

"Wow..." Cherry rolled her eyes.

"I think she bought it." Mo smiled nervously.

"Okay, so you don't got this." Atticus said.

"I'm not the best under pressure..." Mo sighed shakily.

"What about Webby?" Cherry asked.

"Let's just go to Atlantis, shall we?" Mo grinned nervously.'

"If it even exists..." Cherry rolled her eyes.


Everything was now quiet. Dewey soon came to Launchpad and Scrooge, trying to use something he could be in charge off, but Scrooge kept trying to stop him. And where he showed him the only thing the submarine was equipped with which was seat-belts.

Cherry sat in one seat only for it to pull back and became a baby seat with a mobile playing Pop Goes the Weasel while she looked annoyed and humiliated. "Seriously?" She asked out of annoyance.

"None of those things are real things!" Scrooge told Dewey. "This is yer first expedition, so just stand back and watch an old pro from a safe distance."

"So, what is this submarine equipped with?" Dewey asked.

Scrooge then made him sit down and put a tight seat-belt on the boy. He then left to finish which directions they needed to take to get to Atlantis.

"Ha! Good one," Dewey laughed innocently. "Classic Scrooge-Dewey banter, the seasoned-but-tired explorer passing the torch to his cocky young successor."

"Pretty sure he doesn't actually know our names." Huey replied.

"Say what now?" Dewey asked.

"I think he called me Herbert once." Huey replied.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Dewey disagreed. "Hey, Scrooge! When are we gonna set sail, Scrooge?"

"In a moment, Sonny Jim." Scrooge replied.

Dewey soon sunk in his seat with a frown.

"Guys, lighten up!" Louie told the others. "We're on a deep-sea expedition with Scrooge McDuck! Cherry, why, even you're having fun!"

"No...?" Cherry looked back and forth nervously.

"Yeah, you are." Louie said.

"No, I'm not." Cherry replied.

"Yes, you are!" Atticus smiled. "Cherry, you're happy and it's not even Halloween!"

Cherry sighed. "Fine, this is the best time of my life so far."

Scrooge soon saw how excited the kids were looking.


"Mr. McQuack, chart a course," Scrooge smiled as he handed the map. "Next stop, the lost City of Atlantis!"

This made everybody cheer in excitement.

"Oh, joy," Cherry droned. "What an adventure."

"Trust me, she's excited." Atticus told the others.

"In 16 hours." Scrooge told them.

"Shanty time!" Huey beamed as he brought out a radio.

"No!" Cherry cried as Huey soon played his music.
