"What were ye doin' back there?" he asked. "Oh, I thought I saw something.." she trailed off, noticing the large spinning blades on the ceiling, and Dewey sitting directly under them, looking disappointed. She chuckled as she saw him sitting there. Scrooge followed her view. "What's got ye laughing lass?" he asked her. ''He just reminds me so much of Del-" she stopped as she saw Scrooge's eyes widen slightly. "An old friend.." she finished. Scrooge stared at her for a moment, before nodding and turning back to the others. "From now on, Don't. Touch. Anything!" Scrooge said.
Everyone turned around as a hatch opened on the ceiling. A large pile of snakes started to fall out. Everyone ran to the entrance for the next room, as the snakes landed on Launchpad. Ali climbed over the large boulder, followed by everyone else except launchpad. Scrooge cracked his back. "Maybe Atlantis was an ambitious first outing." he stated. Suddenly, a phone rang. Ali looked in the direction of the sound, to see Webby picking up the phone. Ali watched as Webby hung up on her grandma. She turned back to Scrooge and Dewey and helped them push a boulder away from a doorway. She walked in along with them. The three approached a large bridge, with crossing blue lasers all along it. "Wooooooaaah.'' Dewey said. "Suspension Bridge. Glowing Mystical Lasers. CLASSIC!" he said. Ali looked down at him and smiled, flashing back to Della. Dewey was the most like her. Huey, was more like Donald, and Louie was like Scrooge. Ali looked back up to the bridge.
Dewey started to walk onto the bridge, when Scrooge took his cane and grabbed Dewey, pulling him back. "Even a basic Deathtrap still has the word 'Death' in the title." Scrooge took his cane and put it under one of the blue lasers, causing fire to shoot up around the bridge. Ali could've swore she heard a 'Oh no' from under the bridge. "We'll find another route,'' Scrooge said. "It's not safe for amateur adventurers." Ali watched as Scrooge started to walk out.
Dewey hopped up in front of the bridge. "That sounds like a challenge!" Scrooge turned around. "I have to stress, that is NOT a challenge." he said. Dewey turned around. "Is exactly what you would say, to dissuade the weak heart from accepting, the challenge! Well, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!" Dewey yelled as he jumped on the bridge. "THERE IS NO CHALLENGE!" Scrooge yelled after him. "Dewey!" someone yelled. Ali walked to the edge of the small rock platform, and looked down. 'Donald!' she thought. 'What is he doing here? Especially in that sailor uniform! What happened to the blue one?' she thought.
She walked back over to Scrooge. "Uh, Scroo-" she was cut off. "One moment, lass." he said, walking up closer to the bridge. Ali looked back to the bridge, where Dewey was doing a series of Somersaults and flips, whist singing his name in weird ways. (XD?!). Her eyes widened and she ran back to the edge, and saw Donald holding a shield, trying to block the fire from hurting his nephew. She ran back over. She watched as Dewey made it to the end, but kept his foot on one laser.
Ali peeked over the edge and saw Donald blowing on his hands as he held the shield down on the fire. "Nailed it!" Dewey said. Scrooge smirked, adjusted his tophat, and grabbed Ali's hand before jumping down and using his cane on a long rope under the bridge, zip-gliding over to the other side, before doing a flip and landing behind Dewey with Ali next to him. Ali had not expected that, and was surprised she hadn't fell. She slightly turned pink as she realized Scrooge was still holding her hand.
Dewey rolled his eyes. "Well, sure, if you wanna do it the easy way." Scrooge turned to him. "Why wouldn't you want to do it the easy way?" he asked, before letting go of Ali's hand and continuing. "You've got to work Smarter lad, Not harder!" "Ugh, lad? I don't call you 'Old man' or 'Scotty McTophat!" Dewey argued. Ali almost facepalmed. Scrooge looked up and adjusted his top hat.
"Respect your elder. When you adventure with Scrooge McDuck-" "But I'm not! You want me to adventure behind Scrooge McDuck! Or Wait by the sub! I might as well be back on the houseboat!" Dewey said. "Because you have no idea what your doing!" Scrooge shot back. "Then give me a chance, Instead of lumping us together in the backseat while you drive!" Ali nodded slightly, earning a glimpse from Scrooge.
"I'm not lumping you all together." Scrooge denied. "Oh really? Which triplet am I?" Dewey asked. They both looked to Scrooge. "Uh...Bluey?" he answered. Ali actually facepalmed. Scrooge turned to her. "Oh, now you're on his side?!" he said. "I am not taking sides here." she said. "Then why did you just do that?!" Scrooge asked, irritated. "Because even I know his name isn't BLUEY!" she shot back. Scrooge glared at her. Dewey walked forward, wanting to calm the fighting when fire shot up, burning the bridge, making it so the others couldn't get across. Speaking of the others, they had just gotten to the platform Dewey, Scrooge, And Ali were on a moment ago.
"Why are you even Here?!" Scrooge shouted. "YOU INVITED ME!" she yelled back. "NO I DIDN'T!" he told her. "YES, YOU DID. YOU TOLD MRS. BEAKLEY, AND I QUOTE, 'I'M TAKING THE WEE ONES AND ALI ON A FELD TRIP!" Ali shot back. Scrooge glared at her. 'Just like Alyssa..' he thought. Scrooge quickly shook the thought from his head. "Ah, FANTASTIC. Ya see what I'm talking about?" he pointed to the area where the bridge had been. Ali watched as Scrooge yelled to the others, and as Dewey and him started to climb down. Ali, feeling useless and unwanted after that fight, climbed down and headed towards the sub.
Ali walked down the hallway, avoiding lose snakes on the ground. She heard footsteps behind her. Ali spun around, to be met with a cloth over her mouth. She tried to struggle, but it was no use. The last thing she saw was a Scottish looking duck wearing a kilt. After that, darkness.
Ali heard several voices as she came into the waking world. She groaned, having an extreme headache. She opened her eyes to see she was tied up, and being dragged. She looked to her left, and saw Donald. Her eyes widened. He was in on this? Ali felt hurt, and betrayed. "So, Uhm, Why did we take Ali?" Donald asked. Glomgold turned around. Ali gasped. She knew who he was. In her years of adventuring with Scrooge, she had battled Glomgold many times. "Oh, that's easy," he started.
"Alyssa here will make perfect bait for Scroogey! AHAHAHAHA!" he laughed evilly. Ali's eyes widened. She couldn't let them reveal her identity! "Oh look, Alyssa, nice of you to finally join us!" Glomgold said. "Uh, who is Alyssa?" she asked, playing dumb. "Don't pull that card on me, Ali. We both know who you are." Glomgold said. Everyone suddenly stopped. Glomgold bellowed out a few orders, and before she knew it, Ali's legs were being untied. "Walk." she was told.
She was stood up, and started to slowly follow the group, carefully eyeing the knives being pointed at her. She noticed she was walking on coins. Ali looked up, only to be met with a large red hand, that appeared to be holding a large red jewel. She looked back down. "There she is!" Glomgold yelled, having climbed to the top of the hand. He grabbed the large jewel. "The Jewel, Of Atlantis! AHAHAHA!" he laughed hysterically.
"What do ya think of it Alyssa?" he asked. Ali frantically looked around, hoping for a way out, when she saw Scrooge and Dewey behind them, on what appeared to be an exit. Scrooge was staring right at her. Ali quickly looked away. But not in time to miss seeing Dewey slid down the pile of coins, and Scrooge dive into it. Ali grinned. "Let go of my Uncle and Ali!" Dewey yelled. Glomgold turned around, having already hopped off the hand, and said, "No." Dewey was taken back. "I wasn't prepared for that." he said.
Suddenly, Scrooge jumped out of the coins, behind Glomgold. (This part is hard to explain xd) He took his cane and tripped Glomgold, the jewel flying into the air and landing near Scrooge. "What are ye doin' here, Flinty?" Scrooge asked. "What are YOU doing here Scrooge!" Donald shot back. "I told you to keep the boys safe!" he said. "Ah, ther' perfectly fine!" Scrooge assured Donald. "Oh really? Where are the other two?" Donald crossed his arms. "Back safe in the the room with the fire, and the snakes." Scrooge replied nonchalantly. "Ah, Scroogey. Seems you know my newest Employee." Glomgold said. Scrooge turned to Donald. "Your new job was with my sworn enemy?!" "I can't keep track of all your sworn enemys!" Donald shot back. Ali silently slipped out of her ropes.
"Now now, Donald has been a model employee. And an excellent prisoner." Glomgold stated. "Yeah! Wait what?" Donald said. A Knife was pointed to Donald's chest. Ali's eyes widened, watching this play out. Scrooge backed away and Glomgold jumped up. "Hiring my own nephew in order to use him against me?!" Scrooge said angrily. Anger quickly faded to worry. "Now that is good planning." he whispered to Dewey. Ali was suddenly grabbed as Glomgold and his crew took her and Donald up to the exit. Ali watched as Dewey and Scrooge stood there, not knowing what to do next.
As soon as they got up there, Donald and Ali were thrown off the large pile of coins, and slide down near Dewey and Scrooge. Ali winced as she stood up, her head killing her and her face stinging where the coins had scraped. She stood up, as did Donald. "Have fun being the richest duck in the world..For the next five minutes." Glomgold laughed as a knife was thrown at the ceiling, hitting a pressure plate as the exit was sealed and water started to flood the room. I'd like to point out that this trap was not my fault." Dewey stated. Everyone glared at him.
"We have to stop the water!" Ali yelled, the water being too loud to talk normal in. She ran over and started plugging things with coins. Ali swam over to the others. "I knew it! I knew I couldn't trust you with the boys!" Donald yelled. Ali helped Dewey onto a chest as she held onto it. "Not the time, Donald!" Scrooge said, climbing on the red hand. "Crazy old man! All you care about is the next adventure! This is the Spear of Selene all over again!" Donald yelled. Ali froze. Dewey looked over to her. "I was not responsible for the Spear of Selene!" Scrooge yelled. Ali's features darkened, unpleasent memories flooding her brain. "Are you okay?" Dewey yelled. Since the water was so loud, no one could hear anybody talk. "Yes...I'm fine." she lied. Scrooge and Donald looked over to her. She ignored their worried gazes.
Ali let go of the Chest Dewey was on, and it started to spin. "Stop! Scrooge was just trying to keep me out of trouble. But I was so caught up in-Why is there a lamp on the floor?" Dewey asked, forgetting what he had been saying. Ali looked up, and she saw another large hand-this time blue,-holding another jewel that was blue. "What?" Donald asked. Ali turned to him.
"Atlantis is upside down, so that Lamp is on the floor." she explained, looking back to Dewey and Scrooge. "So that means that lamp was supposed to be on the floor, surrounded by all this treasure!" Dewey said. "At-a boy, lad. Keep going." Scrooge encouraged. "So why would that be surrounded by treasure unless," Scrooge and Dewey said at the same time, "That's the real jewel of Atlantis!" Ali swam over to Dewey's crate, holding on to the side as Scrooge jumped into the water and swam over to Dewey and Ali, holding on to one end of the Chest. "That thing lit up when the trap was sprung! I bet my bottom dollar it's the power source to the city!" Scrooge concluded. Ali held onto the chest as Scrooge started to push it towards Donald. Ali helped.
"Uncle Donald, you gotta let the room flood so we can grab the jewel!" Dewey said. Ali nearly laughed. Donald had somehow gotten himself stuck in the wall, plugging up the water. "What, I'm supposed to let go? Trust you?" he asked. "Well, yeah! That's kinda all you can do." Dewey said. "This is a surprisingly insightful deathtrap!" Donald looked at Dewey, before taking a deep breathe and going underwater to free himself, and to help flood the room. A few seconds later he swam up and grabbed the other end of Dewey's crate. All three adults started to paddle slightly as the water level rose. As soon as it was high enough, everyone jumped up and started to pull on the large glowing blue gem. Finally, the gem broke free. Water stopped flooding the room, and started to reverse. A large whirlpool formed as water was sucked out through the holes it came in through. Ali's headache turned into a migraine, with the lack of oxygen and the spinning around.
As the last of the water drained out of the room, the entrance/exit re-opened. Everyone coughed as they sat up. Ali groaned, holding her head. "We're gonna be okay!" Donald cheered. Scrooge looked over to Ali, thinking back to when Glomgold called her Alyssa. He'd have to talk to her later. Everyone ran up to the exit.
Ali's head started to pound. She whimperd as she fell to her knees. It felt like her brain was trying to expand against her skull. Suddenly, a rock fell and hit the back of her head.
Ali passed out.
Woo! Hope you guys enjoyed that! This brings us to the last Chapter of 'Escape to & From Atlantis!'
Sorry, Things got a bit hard to explain, and after re-watching the episode twice, I couldn't find a way for Ali to fit in that last fighting scene. So, here we are!
Anyways, Hope you all enjoyed this!
