Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Duck and Mallard. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Ducktails, Disney and Jymn Magon do.
(unknown Jungle, 2 months later.)
The Sunchaser crashed, that wasn't very new, never was.
Webby blinked as she, Huey Dewey, and Louie got out of their seats.
"Lass… Are you sure he's here?"
Scrooge said from his part of the plane, Webby had finally gotten the location of where Marvin had come to.
"It's what the letter said…. Why here, though?"
Webby asked while Scrooge frowned, he could guess why Marvin had come here, he had heard the legends of this area, there was a few relics…. With one in particular that would drive Marvin to come here.
"If he was here, Marvin would be in one of the temples around here, Webbigail… If he is going after what I assume he is going after."
Scrooge said as the group hopped out of the plain and looked around, it looked mostly like any other jungle, besides the temples and rising hills all over.
"The Hidden Jungle of Wonder…. If Marvin is here, he's here for the map…"
Scrooge whispered under his breath, Webby turned to look at the man.
Scrooge sighed in annoyance, he knew why Marvin would come here, he didn't know the extent of Marvin's…. Connections to the others, but he knew about love…. Not that he saw it as much more then sentimental nonsense…
At least, not outside of Goldie…. Marvin cared for Lena, maybe romantically, Webby probably couldn't see it, Dewey and the boys probably could.
But Marvin would NEVER run off without a good reason, if he cared for Lena enough to leave Duckberg for half a year without telling Webby, then he did it as a good reason.
"Temples…. I see a camp down there, Webby, you can go look at the temples while I take the boys to the camp to ask if they've seen Marvin."
Scrooge said as Webby nodded and fired the grappling hook up and into a temple as Scrooge turned to the boys.
"If Marvin is here, he is here for the Map to the Eternal Elixir…"
Scrooge said as Dewey scratched his head at this, confused what his Uncle meant.
"What is the 'Eternal Elixir'?"
Scrooge asked before a blast of light lit up the temple above them.
(With Webby, 5 minutes before.)
Webby shined her flashlight as she looked at the pictures on the wall, they showed a potion and the pieces of a map.
That was also when she heard the giggle, a dark, evil…. Haunting, giggle.
Webby turned, but only saw traps that had already been disabled.
What in the world was Marvin doing here? She walked past the traps to a place where it looked like something would be placed in the prongs.
"Webby Vanderquack…. The best friend… The buddy, the sister… Of my cousin…. So good for you to finally come here…."
Webby heard before a blast of blue magic was flung at her, Webby rolled out of the way as the voice spoke up again.
It sounded like a spider playing with its pray, like honey mixed with poison…. Like a little girl?
"Cousin? Your related to Lena?"
Webby asked as the voice spoke up again, she heard daggers somewhere.
"I guess you could say that…. Ever since Auntie met you, she's been telling me so much about you…. So much goodie, goodie stuff…. And it sickens me…. She chose you over us… Him, over her…."
The figure said as she blasted at Webby again, a wall of fire blasted at her and she rolled to the side, the figure giggled again.
"I was sent here just to get the map piece I found…. But playing with Lena's little friend? Oh, that is just too good to pass up…."
The figure said as Webby backed up and into the prongs as the figure laughed and fired another wall of fire before she leapt down.
Webby couldn't make out the figure through the shadows, but it looked like she was either an older girl or young teen.
"Time to die, Webby…. Say hi to Lena for me…"
The figure said as it lunged at Webby, she fell onto her back foot but wasn't able to stop the figure.
That was when she closed her eyes, she waited for the figure to get her.
But all she heard a was a clang before she opened her eyes, she looked up to see a figure blocking the daggers with a sword as it turned to look at her.
"Hey, Webbs… Long time no see… Miss me?"
Webby heard… It couldn't be, she was dreaming, right?
The figure turned to the figure and spoke up as he tilted his sword, reflecting the fire at both of them, she caught a glint of purple on the figure's wrist as he spun them both back.
It was Marvin, but so much different….
"Hand over the map, Minima… I don't want to hurt you…"
Author Note
Phew, another chapter done! Yes, Marvin is back and different… And yes, that surprise villain is Minima, Magica's other 'Niece' I saw her with so much fan art and decided she should be in the story… Also, I will be writing a 2000-word chapter next Friday and it will show Marvin fighting Minima and what he is doing here. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
