Meanwhile, Huey and Webby were arguing with each other.
"So he was first screaming over seeing a real Terra-Firmian and now he's randomly arguing with Webby," Mo said. "This must be his way of showing denial."
"I don't think I've ever seen Huey this stubborn before." Atticus replied.
They soon see Louie come out as he started to eat the popcorn he brought. Atticus and Mo glanced to Louie with slight deadpan.
"Huey, you saw the eyes, it wasn't just a rock." Atticus told the duckling.
"It was an actual Terra-Firmian." Mo added.
"Uh, n-no, no, no, no way it was!" Huey replied.
"You're in denial." Mo said.
"No, I'm not!" Huey replied.
"That's what someone in denial would say." Atticus smirked.
"Besides, you saw it yourself." Mo said.
"Guys, help me out here!" Huey cried out.
"Nah." Atticus and Mo replied.
"But it was just our imagination because that is just a stupid rock!" Huey glared as he gestured to the Terra-Firmian only to see that it was gone. "That suddenly disappeared."
"I feel like Cherry might be right." Mo said.
"Aw, come on, Mo!" Huey complained.
"No, you come on!" Mo told him. "This wasn't science-fact!"
"Yeah, now we just have to find out where it went." Atticus said as he flashed his flashlight around.
Huey began to look nervous and anxious as more red eyes came out.
"I think I found more." Mo said to Atticus, seeing the red eyes.
Atticus soon shined his flashlight to where the red eyes were. The red eyes seemed to bounce around and they seemed to be on creatures no one on the surface had seen before. They soon disappeared right then.
"They're gone." Atticus frowned.
"Oh, that's waaay creepier!" Louie groaned.
"You said it." Mo said.
Cherry and Dewey were still helping Launchpad. Launchpad soon fixed the lights, making them come back on.
"Ow!" Cherry yelped from the bright light. "My eyes..."
"Augh! My eyes!" Dewey added.
"Aah! I knew it! Mole men!" Launchpad cried out and soon threw Cherry and Dewey out the door before leaning on it to keep them out. "Everything I've ever seen in a movie is real!"
"No, it isn't!" Cherry told him as she tried to tackle the door open.
Launchpad kept screaming and running around which made Cherry and Dewey face-palm.
"Open this door, trog!" Cherry cried out. "Oh, wait, he's no longer leaning against the door, so it should be easy to open."
Jessica, Lena, and Mrs. Beakley soon managed to unlatch the train cars.
"We did it!" Jessica beamed.
"We most certainly did." Mrs. Beakley nodded.
Cherry tried opening the door, but it was locked. "Of course..." she groaned. "Launchpad, let us in!"
"Not on your life, Mole Man!" Launchpad told her.
"Ugh! What I wouldn't give for a key to unlock this stupid door!" Cherry complained.
Launchpad soon flicked on the controls, bringing the lights back on for all of them.
"Hmm... I suppose you're good for something." Mrs. Beakley said to Lena.
"Ugh, don't hurt yourself with the compliments, Abbey Road," Lena remarked. "I'm just trying to help."
"Lena, you could at least say 'thank you'." Jessica told her friend.
"Yeah, I think I left my politeness back home." Lena said.
A shadow soon appeared behind Mrs. Beakley with beady red eyes and slunk away, passing by the older woman.
'That was close.' Jessica thought to herself.
The train soon began to move.
"Come on!" Mrs. Beakley told Lena and Jessica before running with them.
And along with them came the Terra-Firmians. Mrs. Beakley soon held out her hand to catch Lena, bringing her to safety. Jessica looked very relieved and thankful from that. The Terra-Firmians soon rode next to the train, trying to knock the others off from it.
"Not good!" Jessica yelped.
Atticus, Mo, Huey, Louie, and Webby yelped as they soon slid down, running into the Terra-Firmians.
"Oh, boy... Here we go..." Mo frowned, seeing the Terra-Firmians.
"Why are you trying to knock us off the tracks?!" Atticus asked the Terra-Firmians firmly.
The Terra-Firmians looked scared now.
"This can't be happening!" Huey cried out.
"Back inside!" Mo told them.
"Quickly!" Atticus added.
They soon rushed inside as Webby opened the hatch for them. The Terra-Firmians soon began to pound against the roof as they made it back inside.
"Next time, how about you try to open up your horizons away from your book?" Mo suggested to Huey.
"Um, I'll try to keep that in mind for the future." Huey replied.
Launchpad soon panicked once he saw the Terra-Firmians and they seemed to scream back. He soon slammed on the breaks.
"We're out of control!" Mo panicked. "What's going on up there?!"
"Something tells me that Launchpad panicked and used the breaks too fast." Atticus groaned.
Eventually, the subway train screeched into a halt, and luckily, no one was hurt.
"Whew! Crashed it..." Launchpad smirked once he came out.
Cherry and Dewey soon came out which made him scream in a panic.
"Okay, I can't take this anymore," Cherry groaned. "Launchpad, that movie was fake!"
"How do I know you're not just saying that?" Launchpad glared.
"Open your eyes, Launchpad!" Cherry told him. "It was just a movie! It's not real!"
"It's true!" Dewey added.
"Classic mole monster saying he's 'not' a mole monster." Launchpad remarked.
"Ugh! By that logic how do you know you're not a mole monster?" Dewey rolled his eyes.
"Well, I'm not," Launchpad replied. "Which is exactly what a mole monster would say. Wait, am I a mole monster?" he then paused in thought, looking to his reflection. "But I'm a good guy. Then that means mole monsters can also be good guys."
"Uh... Sure, sure!" Cherry said. "We can be friends!"
"Yeah." Dewey nodded.
"Come, mole brother," Launchpad smiled as he grabbed a hold of Cherry and Dewey. "This is a new day for our people. We will show the world that we can be good."
"I'm surrounded by idiots." Cherry groaned.
"Hey!" Dewey glared.
Lena and Jessica strained from helping Mrs. Beakley.
"Leave her, Lena," A mysterious woman's voice told Lena. "She'll never trust you. She's keeping you from them. Leave her and we'll be better off."
"No, we're not; we need to gain all of their trust." Jessica told the voice who belonged to the shadow from before.
"Are you forgetting the reward I promised you?" The shadow glowered to her.
"I remember, Magica," Jessica said before looking to Lena. "Let's try lifting up the train car with my magic and your amulet's magic."
"Hmm... Yeah..." Lena replied. "Maybe our combined magic will be strong enough."
"Only one way to find out." Jessica nodded.
The two combined their magic which made the shadow smirk at first until the train car was rising up above from Mrs. Beakley.
"It's working." Jessica smiled while still using her magic.
Lena soon stopped.
Jessica gasped before looking to Lena. "Why did you stop?"
"I... I thought I heard something..." Lena said.
The shadow soon grinned to the girls.
"Lena, it was nothing; now come on, we can do this." Jessica told her.
Lena soon looked back to her friend.
"Unleash the magic..." Jessica said as she soon did that herself.
The two girls soon used their magic once more to help Mrs. Beakley. The shadow looked angered and soon melted away, bringing back out Lena and Jessica's own shadows.
"Almost there." Jessica said as the train car was now above Mrs. Beakley.
Lena moved the train car and Jessica soon moved Mrs. Beakley out to safety. The two girls soon accidentally slipped and the magical aura faded which meant the train car was about to crush Mrs. Beakley, but luckily, they moved her out of the way in time.
"Whew... Just in time." Jessica sighed.
Mrs. Beakley soon slowly woke up. She looked quite surprised to see that the girls saved her and Lena soon hid away her magical amulet.
"Uh... Come on, let's go." Lena told Mrs. Beakley.
They soon went off to where the train crashed.
"Huey?! Where are you?!" Atticus cried out in concern. He soon saw where Huey was as the red light above him went on and off.
The roof was nearly being crushed through as Huey held onto his guidebook.
"Huey, come on, we gotta go." Atticus told him.
"Can't. Need to stay near the light," Huey frowned. "I can still see. The Junior Woodchuck guidebook says I'm statistically safer this way."
"If you stay near that light, you are going to get crushed!" Atticus told him.
"At least I'll know what's crushing me," Huey frowned. "Who knows what's out there?"
They soon heard more rumbling which made them gasp.
"We know what's out there. Terra-firmians!" Webby told him.
"But if they're real, then what other crazy things are out there just waiting for me in the dark?" Huey panicked.
Atticus could tell Huey needed help with his situation.
"Huey, I may not be your brother, blood or not, but you can't let your fears get to you," he then told the duckling as he held out his hand for him. "The only way to know is to find out together."
"Atticus is right." Webby nodded.
Huey soon looked over, putting his guidebook away and soon took Atticus's hand.
"Uh, okay, I didn't see that coming," Louie smiled tearfully. "Really came together in the third act."
"Now let's get out of here." Mo said.
They soon came to make their escape out the window.
"Jump before we get crushed!" Atticus told the others.
"You got it!" Louie panicked.
They soon jumped right out before getting crushed.
"Phew..." Atticus and Mo sighed in relief.
"That was a close one." Mo said.
Mrs. Beakley soon walked over with Jessica and Lena. Webby and Mo ran over to the elder woman and hugged her instantly.
"Are you all okay?" Jessica asked.
"Oh, yeah," Launchpad smiled before nudging Cherry and Dewey who looked annoyed. "We're A-okay. Just a trio of normal non-monster folk eager to help out."
"I seriously regret letting him come along with us to see that movie." Cherry groaned.
"A way out?" Huey smiled once he saw a light. "There's a way out!" he then ran down toward the light.
"Huey, wait!" Webby cried out.
"Huey, stop!" Mo added.
A Terra-Firmian dropped down in front of Huey. Huey yelped from that and a bunch more came beside the first one. One of them came into the light and it seemed more friendly than menacing.
"We told you they were real." Cherry and Webby told Huey.
"He must be the prince and the others are his rebel force." Huey replied.
"They must've gotten trapped down here," One Terra-Firmian told the others. "This must be the prince of the bill-faced and pale creatures of the land above, and the others are his rebel force."
"I told you they were real." Another Terra-Firmian added.
"One of them is coming over." Another Terra-Firmian said as it saw Atticus coming over.
"Atticus!" Jessica called.
"It's okay." Atticus smiled as he looked to his sister before coming towards the Terra-Firmians.
One of the Terra-firmians soon hopped closer to him.
"You're not bad," Atticus smiled to the Terra-Firmian. "Just misunderstood."
The Terra-firmian nodded.
"We could maybe be friends." Atticus smiled.
"That would be nice," The Terra-Firmian replied. "And sorry for trying to knock your thing off those metal things."
"It's okay," Atticus said softly. "You must've been so scared."
"We were." The Terra-Firmian said.
"Friends?" Atticus smiled.
"...Sure, we can be friends." The Terra-Firmian smiled back.
"Great," Atticus smiled back. "Anyways, me, my sister, and our friends have to find a way out."
"Follow us." The Terra-Firmian said before rolling off with his friends.
And where the Terra-Firmians soon bust down a wall, making a way out for the group.
"They smashed us an exit!" Atticus smiled.
"They're friendly." Huey said to himself.
"Great, now let's get out of here." Cherry said.
"Thank you, fellow underground creatures!" Launchpad smiled and waved.
Cherry rolled her eyes from that.
"Sorry I doubted you." Huey said to her and Webby.
"No problem," Cherry replied. "Just don't write down the Terra-Firmians in your guidebook."
"I'm proud of you, Huey," Webby added. "Facing your fears, embracing the unknown-"
"And loved it! No longer unknown. They exist. Science fact," Huey smiled as he did opposite of what Cherry told him to before sighing in relief. "That feels so much better."
Cherry then went up ahead and started to go out the new exit.
"I really could get used to being down here," Launchpad smiled. "I LOVE BEING A MOLE MONSTER!"
"Launchpad, you are not a mole monster." Mrs. Beakley told him.
"Oh, well, all right," Launchpad then shrugged. "Makes sense."
Everyone else began to make their way out. Lena stopped for a moment.
"Why didn't you leave the big purple one?" The shadow woman glared. "She's getting in the way of our plans!"
"Lena?" Mrs. Beakley's voice spoke up.
Lena soon looked over as the shadow disappeared.
"Listen, dear, I may have been a bit quick to judge you," Mrs. Beakley continued. "Would you like to join us at the mansion for pancakes?"
"Now, when you say 'pancakes', do you mean like actual pancakes or English muffins covered in maple syrup?" Lena rolled her eyes at first.
Mrs. Beakley looked deadpan before speaking again, "I mean actual pancakes."
"Then yes." Lena nodded.
"Lena, you're welcome at the mansion any time." Mrs. Beakley smiled to the girl as she went after the others.
"That's why. Gotta play the long game," Lena whispered to her shadow before calling out, following behind. "Hey, wait up!"
"Well, that sure was something." Cherry said.
"Yeah, what's next?" Atticus wondered.
"A lot more, I'm sure." Mo replied.
They soon went back home to McDuck Manor.
"How's about I teach you how to use your magic?" Jessica suggested to Atticus.
"Hmm... Okay!" Atticus smiled.
"What're big sisters for?" Jessica smiled back.
"Just make sure Scrooge doesn't find out your doing magic." Mrs. Beakley told them.
"It couldn't hurt, right?" Atticus smiled to the older duck woman.
"You don't understand, Scrooge hates magic." Mrs. Beakley told him.
"What...?" Atticus asked. "Why?"
"It's complicated," Mrs. Beakley said. "I suggest you be very careful around him."
"I will." Atticus said.
"I certainly hope so, dear..." Mrs. Beakley replied to him.
Atticus looked concerned and wondered why Scrooge didn't like magic.
And where Scrooge soon sees the group coming in and instantly recognized Jessica.
"Hello, Mr. McDuck." Jessica said.
"Jessica?" Scrooge's eyes widened.
"Yes, Mr. McDuck, it's me." Jessica smiled.
"I don't think I've seen you in a very long time." Scrooge said.
"You two know each other?" Atticus asked.
"Scrooge is an old friend of Mom and Dad's." Jessica told her brother.
"Ohh." Atticus smiled.
Jessica held out her arms. Scrooge looked to her, unable to resist and soon hugged Jessica. After a short time, they separated.
"Well... It is nice to see ya again, Lass," Scrooge said to Jessica. "Look at how much ye've grown."
Jessica smiled bashfully to the Scottish duck.
"Ye have yer mother's smile." Scrooge smiled back.
"Thanks." Jessica smiled back.
"Perhaps we should get out of the mansion for a wee bit to explore." Scrooge suggested.
"Like visit a city or something?" Jessica replied.
"Perhaps, yes." Scrooge nodded.
"Like where?" Jessica asked.
"Hmm... I'm not sure meself right now... We could talk about it sometime." Scrooge shrugged.
"Just as long as 'Hey, 20$' isn't involved." Jessica said as she imitated someone.
"Hmm... Quite..." Scrooge nodded to the girl.
"You mean Gladstone?" Atticus asked.
Scrooge looked over to him. Atticus let out a sheepish grin once he was looked at.
"He knows?" Scrooge asked Jessica.
Jessica simply shrugged.
"I asked Donald about him and he told me and Cherry everything he had to endure being cousins with Gladstone." Atticus said.
"Ah... I see..." Scrooge replied.
"The luckiest duck in the world!" Cherry added.
"Maybe we should go and see like the Golden Cricket." Atticus said.
"Hmm... Let me work that into my schedule and get back to you." Scrooge replied.
"Okay." Atticus smiled.
Scrooge soon walked off before Jessica hugged Atticus happily.
"Maybe you guys will make some new friends in the big city." Jessica smiled.
"Yeah, maybe." Atticus smiled back.
"It'll be a nice adventure." Jessica said.
"Oh, I know it." Atticus smiled hopefully.
"So, while we wait for Scrooge to get back to us about the Golden Cricket, how about we do that thing?" Jessica asked Atticus with a wink.
"Huh? Oh! Yeah! Sure!" Atticus winked back. "Let's do it!"
They soon rushed off upstairs.
