"I'm a pilot!"
As Scrooge rode on the dragon, it started speeding towards the Money Bin. Pishu (dragon) increased speed, and started to flip and turn in the air.
"Ha! It'll take more than some fancy flyin' to shake old Scrooge, ya cash cannibal!" Scrooge cheered. Suddenly, Pishu started to crash into multiple buildings. Scrooge was laying against the dragon, holding onto his hat. "It'll take more than a bruised spine...to shake old scrooge ya bad...dragon..dog."
Scrooge wheezed. Pishu started to fly faster, heading towards the money bin, when suddenly the dragon threw Scrooge off of his back. As Scrooge fell, a familiar red plane flew under him. Scrooge landed on the wing, and then slid off, right as a hand caught his.
Pulling him up, was Dewey. He was being held by Huey, who in turn was being held by Louie, then Webby, then Ali. He pulled Scrooge up into the plane. "I thought I told you to go-" Scrooge panted. "No time!" He said as she turned to the others. "We've gotta work fast!
Huey turned to Ali. "Ali! You seem to know a lot about this stuff!" he said, Scrooge sending her a suspicious glare. "How do we stop it?" Huey asked. "Well, Its mystical! So we need a mystical device!" Ali said. "Like an Oblivion Mirror, a Medusa Gauntlet, or a-" "Like this?" Louie cut her off as he held the Medusa Gauntlet. "What?" he asked as they glared at him. He handed Scrooge the gauntlet. "I was gonna give it back.." he said.
Everyone looked out the window as Pishu landed on the money bin, and smashed a large hole in the top. "Now how do we get him down there?" Louie asked. Huey jumped up as he held a green hose. "GARDEN HOSE OF DESTINYY!" he yelled.
Huey handed the hose to Louie as he went up to the pilot's area. In the background, Webby, Louie and Dewey were wrapping the hose around Scrooge, while Ali opened the large door. "Launchpad! We need to swing him out!" Huey commanded. "Nose dive towards the bin and get ready to pull up!" Huey said. "YES SIR RANDOM KID I JUST MET!" Launchpad replied.
"Any Questions?!" Dewey asked. Scrooge looked slightly confused. "Since when is launchpad a pilot?" Before he could get an answer, the plane swung down, nose diving towards the money bin. Ali, Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby all held the garden hose as Scrooge was swung down, the Medusa Gauntlet on his hand.
As Scrooge swung down, He grabbed the dragon's tail with the Medusa Gauntlet, the tail slowly turning to stone. "You guys," Dewey said. "Our family's awesome." Ali slightly frown. "Not including me." She said. The others, still keeping their grip on the hose, all turned to her. "No no no," Dewey said. "You're officially apart of it now." Dewey said. Ali smiled.
The dragon, halfway stone, somehow still had control over his body. He flung his tail, throwing Scrooge off of him. The others, still distracted, lost their grip on the hose, watching in horror as Scrooge fell. Ali watched Scrooge and smiled brightly when he put his hands in front of him, holding them like he was diving.
"Why are you smiling?!" Huey asked hysterically. "Look." Ali smiled as she pointe down, towards the money bin. Everyone cheered as they watched Scrooge swim in the money.
"Aw," launchpad smiled, taking his hands off of the controls. "Family truly is the greatest treasu- OH NOT THE GROUND!" He cut himself off as the plane crashed.
"In the short time I've known you all," Scrooge started. Ali, the triplets, and Webby were all sitting on a piece of the once-was-plane, as Scrooge paced in front of them. "You've wrecked my home, AND my money bin, unleashed several ancient evils, and almost got me killed, twice!" he ranted. "Four times if you count each monster as in individual..." Huey stated.
Scrooge blinked, then laughed. Ali smiled. There he was. The Scrooge McDuck she knew. He started laughing harder. He came over and sat between them. "That was incredible!" he exclaimed. "When you pulled me into the airplane and said 'No time'" He pointed to Dewey. "Oh, and who would've thought of a medusa gauntlet?" he praised them. "Oh, and you swung me out just in time and- " he cut himself off as he started laughing.
"You lot are nothing but trouble!" he said as he stood up and walked in front of them. "Curse me kilts, have I missed trouble!" he said fondly. Ali smiled, fond memories of Scrooge and her running through her mind. "I suppose, I'll have to keep an eye on you, to teach you how to get into trouble, properly." he smiled. Scrooge pulled out a golden flip-phone.
"Beakley! Clear my schedule! I'm taking the wee ones, and Ali on a field trip." he stated, Ali a little surprised that he was taking her. A spark lit inside her, and suddenly she was nervous, and yet excited at the same time. She hadn't been adventuring for nearly 11 years! She listened on to the reminder of the conversation.
"Bout time. And once again I AM NOT YOUR SECR-" Scrooge hung up on her. Scrooge turned back to the others, Launchpad now standing behind them. "Now, Let's go find the Lost City of Atlantis!" he shouted. "YEAH!" they all said at once.
"AND NO ONE TELL YOUR UNCLE DONALD!" He added. "YEAH!" they yelled again. Launchpad looked confused. "WHO IS THAT?!"
Donald Duck had somehow stapled himself to a wall inside of Glomgold Industries, in his blue suit. When he was approached by Glomgold himself. "Congratulations!" he praised Donald. "You've got the job!" he said. Donald smiled. "Really? Oh boy! I'm a real accountant!" he cheered. "Accountant? Oh, no. That was filed yesterday. You're our new sailor!" Glomgold put a small sailor's hat on the horrified duck.
"Now, what do you know about Atlantis?"
