Ali walked down the hallway, dusting a few things off as she headed towards the supplies closet, when she heard Webby. "Welcome, to the wing of secrets!" she said. Ali raised an eyebrow and peek around the corner to see the triplets and Webby, in front of the door to the garage. She stepped forward and started to head towards them as they opened the door. "Uh, guys? Shouldn't you be in your rooms?" she asked. They all froze, halfway into the room. She noticed Dewey looked a bit downhearted.
"Uh-" Webby started. "Please don't tell Uncle Scrooge!" Louie pleaded. Ali laughed. "You kids remind me of me, years ago." she said. She made a zipping motion with her hand across her beak.(? sorry not used to writing for ducktales XD) "Your secret is safe with me," she said. They all visibly relaxed. "But," she added. "But what?" Huey asked. Ali looked at him, still smiling. "But I think you need some supervision." she said. The kids smiled as they walked in. Huey walked over to a large portrait of Scrooge standing over a shaved bear. Ali watched as he said in awe, "I knew it!" She walked over near Louie as he looked at a statue of Scrooge. "Dewey! Check it out!" Louie said as he turned to his brother. Dewey walked off. "Yeah, whatever.." he said. Ali looked back to Huey, who was now with Webby, standing in front of a relic Ali recognized.
"The Gong Of Pishu." They both said in unison. Everyone looked over to Ali as she approached the ancient relic. "Hit it three times to unleash unspeakable evils.." she said, carefully running her fingers across it. "How did you know what it was..?" Webby asked, confused. Ali froze for a moment. 'I can't let this happen again..' she thought. She quickly made an excuse. "I've done a little research on Scrooge, too Webby." Ali winked in her direction. Webby smiled widely. Ali turned around, to see Louie putting Lime-green sticky notes on ancient relics. She rolled her eyes. Huey walked over to his brother. "Uh, what are you doing?" he asked. "Putting dibs on stuff!" Louie winked at his brother as he put another sticky note on something. Ali and Webby walked over to them.
"What? Scrooge is like, super old!" Huey crossed his arms, as Ali followed Louie. As Louie went to put another sticky note on a display, Ali quickly grabbed his wrist. "Hey, what gives?" he said. "Careful! Medusa gauntlet. One touch can turn organic matter to stone." she said, releasing his wrist. "Then I will call this one a maybe." he said, proceeding to put a sticky note on it.
"This place is incredible!" Huey said. "It's fake." Dewey said, as he stood in front of a portrait. They all walked over. Ali gasped. "Della.." she whispered. They stood in front of a painting of Scrooge, Donald, Della and Ali. Scrooge was sword fighting a pirate on the main deck, Della was on the mast of the ship, also fighting a pirate. Donald was swinging from a rope, and Ali was a few feet away from Scrooge, also fighting a pirate. Her natural hair color had always been a light brown, but when she had left she'd dyed it darker. She hadn't wanted to change her hair, for she was happy with it's color. But at the time, she realized, it was necessary.
"Is that Uncle Donald?" Huey asked. Webby spoke up. "Oh yeah! He was Mr. McDuck's sidekick!" Huey looked at Louie, both shaking their heads. "Dewey's right" Huey said. "Totally fake." Louie agreed. Webby dramatically gasped. "Uncle Donald has never done anything cool." Dewey said. This time, Ali spoke up. "Donald Duck is one of the most daring adventurers of all time." she stated. They looked at her confused. "Hey wait a minute." Huey said. "Who's that?" he pointed to Ali, back when she was Alyssa.
Ali froze, again as Webby explained. "Alyssa Quackmire!" (imsosorryplsforgivemexD) "She was also an adventurer, along with Donald and Scrooge! But after after the disappearance of Della, Alyssa ran away in grief and was never seen again.." Webby trailed off for effect, looking at Ali. "Wait..you look an awful lot like..." Webby paused as she looked back at the painting. The triplets did the same. "You're...you're.." Webby was stunned, as Huey, Dewey, and Louie stared in awe. "So that's how you knew about the Medusa gauntlet!" Louie said. The others just stared.
Ali sighed. "Fine, you caught me." she admitted. Webby was in awe yet also confused. "But how? You disappeared years ago!" she said. Ali shook her head "Long story, which we unfortunately don't have time for." Ali replied.
Dewey Glared at her. "So what? You used to adventure. But I doubt uncle Donald did. This has all got to be fake." he crossed his arms. Webby went up to the portrait of Scrooge and the bear. "That's not true! What about this picture of Chupacabra?" she asked. "Photoshop." Huey replied. Webby ran over to a chest. "This treasure chest?" she asked, opening it. "Webby DON'T!" Ali yelled, but it was too late.
"Probably bought it at an auction." Louie said. "No, it's too late.." Ali said, slightly terrified. She knew what was in that chest. Webby backed away in fear as a sheet levitated out of the chest. "T-This G-Ghost?" she asked stuttering in fear. "You mean this Halloween, decoration?" Dewey said as he pulled the sheet down, to reveal pirate ghost. "Aw, Phewey." Ali said. "Curse ye! Ye scurvy Life-lubbers!" the pirate yelled as he chased everyone. "It's Captain Peg-Hook!" Ali yelled. "The scurge of the river stickss! (?idontevenknowhwatshesaidicantcomprehenditxdrip) Webby yelled as they ran. Dewey ran over to a barrel and grabbed a sword. "Dewey, no!" Ali yelled, but it was too late. "It's real! It's r-really really real!" he said, when suddenly the sword started glowing blue. "WHY DOES NO ONE LISTEN TO MEE!" Ali yelled.
The sword flew out of Dewey's hands, and towards the Ghost-pirate's chest. He opened his arms as the sword flew back and forth in his chest. He laughed evilly. "The Day-o 6 calliber!"(ithinkthatswhatitscalled) Ali said, standing in front of Webby and Huey. "It won't rest until it's target is slain!" Webby exclaimed. "But he's already dead!" Huey panicked. The pirate started making it's way towards the three of them, the sword still flying in and out of it's chest, when it flew towards the Gong of Pishu. Ali's eyes widened as it hit the gong. Webby gasped. "Do not let anything else hit that gong!" she exclaimed. Louie walked over to a saddle on the floor.
"LOUIE WAIT!" Ali reached towards him. "Yeah, I'ma sit this one outt." he said as he sat on the saddle. Ali groaned as she face-palmed. Suddenly, the saddle grew into a headless horse, and threw Louie off of it. "THE HEADLESS MAN HORSE!" Webby cried. "That one feels self explanatory." Ali said. The horse suddenly kicked the Gong. Dewey ran over. "That's twice!" he said. "One more, and something terrible could happen!" she said. Louie ran over, avoiding the pirates attacks. "WHAT COULD BE MORE TERRIBLE THAN THIS?!" he asked hysterically. Ali looked towards the door, wondering if they could escape when she saw Scrooge, dragging his diving suit.
"WHAT IN DISMAL DOWNS IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" He yelled, pointing his cane in the room. All 5 of them looked towards the door, saying in unison, "There it is."
Scrooge left his diving suit in the hallway as he walked in the room. "Why aren't you in your rooms? And why is Ali here?" he asked. The boys gasped as they dodged the flying sword that had been coming at them. The kids screamed as they ran. Ali grabbed Scrooge's hand and started running fro cover, when the pirate blocked their path. He screamed, in turn making Scrooge scream. The pirate laughed as Ali turned direction with Scrooge as they took cover behind a large statue with the others. Ali let go of his hand, almost reluctantly. Almost. "Alright, There are 5 of us and 3 of them." Huey said, looking at the others, for some reason leaving Scrooge out. He peeked out from behind the statue. "If we- wait nevermind they teamed up." he said. The pirate was now riding the headless-man-horse, while wielding the sword.
"Good, only one target." he said as he walked out of hiding. "NO COME BACK YOU'RE OLDDDD!" Dewey cried as Scrooge walked up to the pirate. Ali chuckled. "Now, you get to witness the awesomeness of Scrooge McDuck." she said.
"OI! BEASTY! What's it gonna take to shuffle ye off to the afterlife?" Scrooge asked. "THE HEAD OF SCROOGE MCDUCK!" It boomed. Ali smirked as Scrooge stretched his neck. (I know the correct term is cracked, but cmon. That just sounds really wrong XD) Scrooge flipped his cane in his hand, wielding it like a sword. "Would you settle for his hat?" he asked. It started to charge at Scrooge, when suddenly he took his top hat and threw it at the ghost's face. It was disorientated as the hat phased through it, and Scrooge proceeded to slid under the horse.
Scrooge turned around as the ghost threw the sword at scrooge. Suddenly, a stone head of Scrooge flew into the air. The kids gasped, while Ali smiled. Scrooge caught the head, and tossed it to the ghost. "There's your head." he said smugly. The ghost screamed. "I SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE SPECIFFIIIIIIIICCCCCC!" it yelled as it disappeared. As the head was no longer being held, it fell onto the headless man horse's neck. It stomped it's thanks and ran off. Scrooge picked up his tophat, dusted it off and put it back on. The kids ran over and started cheering for him, as Ali walked over. Suddenly, Scrooge stomped his cane on the ground, silencing everyone.
"We can explain!" Louie said. "We came down to your secret museum to look for you because..we love you?" he awkwardly hugged Scrooge. Scrooge rasied an eyebrow. "Then Why is Ali, here?" he asked, looking to her. "Uh, we asked her to come! To, uh, clean up?" Huey said. Scrooge looked to Ali, and she rolled her eyes. "They wanted to look around and asked me to stay with them." she said. Scrooge nodded slightly. "Secret museum? This is the garage!" he said as Louie pulled away. "The what?!" Webby, Huey and Dewey asked. "Do you mean gar-age?" Louie asked, interpreting Scrooge's Scottish accent. Scrooge pressed a button on a remote as a large garage door opened behind him.
Webby looked at Louie. "Pfft, a garage? If THIS is a garage how do you explain all this awesome stuff!?" she said. "Like, The Garden Hose of Destiny? Or," Ali laughed quietly, catching the attention of Scrooge. He saw the portrait of The pirate battle behind them, and for a moment he thought she was Alyssa. 'Don't be silly McDuck. How can Ali possibly be Alyssa? She does look the same...and she has the same eyes, she has the same freckles...No! She's gone..' Scrooge thought. Webby continued, "Montazuma's old stack of Magazines, Or- no, its-its a garage." she nodded.
"Unbelievable! I invite you into my home," Scrooge reprimanded the triplets. "You locked us in a room!" Louie yelled. "I gave ya marbles!" Scrooge shot back. Huey spoke up, "We just wanted to hang out with you!" "Well...now ya have! And look at the mess it's got me!" he said. "I guess Family is nothing but trouble, right Scrooge?" Dewey said, crossing his arms.
Scrooge's face darkened. "Everybody out!" he said. "But we're-" Huey was cut off. "OUT!" Scrooge yelled as he hit the Gong of Pishu with his cane. Everyone looked horrified as they started to back away. "Oh, what are ya gaping at? The curse is only actuvated if you hit it three times! And you-you already hit it two times didn't you." Scrooge backed away as the large stone dragon started to shed the stone as the gong dropped to the floor.
The large golden dragon shot through the roof, and looked out towards Scrooge's money bin. "Pishu, the Gold Hunting Dragon.." Ali said in awe. Scrooge looked at her for a moment, confused that she knew what it was. "Gold hunting?" Louie said, excited. "Sounds great!" he said. Ali turned to him. "Not when your Duckburg's single largest owner of gold!" she said worriedly.
"Ah! Me money bin!" Scrooge yelled as he started climbing boxes, and grabbed onto the dragon's tail as it started to fly off. Before Scrooge was taken by the dragon, he yelled, "TO YOUR ROOOOOMS!"
"Where are you going?" Ali asked as Webby started toward the large garage door. "I'm going to eat a hamburger!" she said. Ali looked at the triplets, and they looked at her as smiled appeared on their faces. "We're in." Dewey said.
"Cool." Webby replied. "But just to be clear we're getting the dragon. I was using the metaphor from earlier.." she clarified. "Yeah, we get it, but how are we going to get the dragon?" Ali asked, having been in the conversation earlier about hamburgers.
Suddenly, the duck from earlier-which Ali learned his name was Launchpad-stuck his head in the door.
"I'm a pilot!"
