Chapter Six
The next morning they walked through the ruined streets and broken homes until they reached point.
Daisy gasped. "Do you realize where we're at?"
Everyone looked at her.
"We're in Duckburg, There's the McDuck Money bin."
"I wonder if Scrooge is alive?" Horace though.
Suddenly something was lurking in the shadows, Horace turned around pulling out his revovler pointing at the darkness.
A high voice shreiked. "Don't shoot, don't shoot!"
Horace slowly lowered his revolver, and out of the shadows Minnie along with Donald and Goofy stepped towards them. Everyone was shocked.
"We thought you were dead." Daisy was getting into tears. "Donald, I thought you were gone." She ran to Donald and embraced him.
"How did ya' survive?" Ortensia was happy.
"Well, it's kinda a long story." Goofy giggled.
"Are Mickey and Oswald alive?" Gus asked.
Minnie looked down sorrowful.
"Don't worry," Horace smiled. "We'll find them."
Suddenly a strange noise was heard. Their talking was cut short, soon they were running up the hill up to the money bin, Horace carried Clarabelle up the hill.
Meanwhile at an unknown area, someone was watching a rather large set of monitors, watching every shred of land to see if anyone was wondering about, in fact he had known of the base before Gus destroyed the camera. Suddenly he heard hissing. He turned to see the serpent (whom had attacked Clarabelle) return and slithered up to him.
"Hello my dear friend did everything go according to plan?"
The Serpent made a terrifying grin.
"Perfect," He smiled. "We must report this at once."
He walked off, down the dark hallways and into a large room that barely had a few candles lit.
"My lords," he called out. "The plan is going along greatly."
One of the lords stepped into the light, It was Magica De Spell. She gave the figure a wicked smile. "You and the serpent have done well."
"After all he is a piece of the blot I pulled from the mouse." The person grinned.
" So who is the expecting mother and who's the father?" Professor Ecks had stepped in.
The person stepped into the light. It was The Mad Doctor, fully restored to what he once was by Professors Ecks, Doublex, and Triplex. He revealed a photograph of Horace and Clarabelle.
"So when will the baby be born?" Professor Doublex asked
The Mad Doctor replied. "It will be any day now," He made an evil smile. "and Once we have the baby. We will give it to the blot to regain it's power. As well as the rabbit and mouse."
All of them glanced at the two glass pods, there lied Oswald and Mickey. Both were in a deathly sleep state. The three Professors and the Mad Doctor had been extracting the blot from Mickey, in order to revive the inky monster. Their problem was they could only extract him little by little, thus made the serpent. As soon as the new blot was complete Oswald would be the first to be killed by the blot then Mickey.
Later at the Money bin, Horace went around the place looking for Scrooge. Hoping he was alive, soon he came upon a glass box the size of a coffin. Horace brushed off the dust only to find Scrooge in there. Horace opened it to see if he was dead, he checked the pulse. Scrooge had a normal pulse, even though he looked dead. "How can this be?" He thought.
Suddenly someone snuck up behind him and covered his eyes. "Reveal thy name." A voice came behind him.
"Fethry!" Horace shouted. "Knock it off!"
Fethry backed off. "Okay, okay take it easy Horace." He made a happy grin. Gladstone had entered the room.
"It's a no brainer how you survived." Horace said to Gladstone
"Of course." Gladstone grinned.
"Is everyone else okay?"
"Yeah, in fact we went to hide in here." Fethry replied.
"What happened to Scrooge?"
"We don't know, when we first hid here he was fighting Magica for his dime. He won the fight, but suddenly collapsed and he's been that way ever since."
"Sounds like a spell, but I doubt that." Gladstone remarked
"I don't." Fethry swallowed hard.
In the security room of the bin, Clarabelle sat down to rest. She was sleeping, having a dream that she was holding her newborn baby. Smiling and wondering through a field on a beautiful sunny day. When suddenly the skies turned black and a storm began, a shadowy monster appeared and took the baby from Clarabelle. She began to chase the monster, weeping.
"No! please, give me back my baby." She cried.
But she was too late the monster was gone with the baby in its hands. She heard something come towards her, Clarabelle turned and another monster came for her. Her nightmare had ended.
"Clarabelle, wake up" Horace tried waking her up. "Wake up."
Clarabelle gasped and awoke holding on to Horace. "It just came and took our baby and-."
"It's alright, it was only a nightmare. It'll be alright."
