Chapter Eight
Early dawn had come, everyone had prepared to enter the Wasteland. Ludwig decided to stay and make sure Huey, Dewey, and Louie weren't getting into trouble. Fethry and Gladstone joined our heroes, much to Donald's chagrin. Gus had made a map of the Wasteland, the night before so Horace held on to the map. They bid farewell to the Money Bin and headed off to the mirror that would take them to The Wasteland. They went to Mickey's home, it was boarded up and Pluto began to whimper.
"Mickey, forgive me." Horace kicked in the front door. Everything in the house was covered in dust and cobbwebs, Minnie felt glass when she stepped in. She picked up a picture of her and Mickey. She held it close to her with tears, Ortensia tapped her shoulder.
"Don't worry," Ortensia had tears rolling down her eyes. "We'll find them and all of this will be over."
Finally they found the mirror, and entered one by one. Within minutes they had entered the Wasteland, it returned back to its condition when the thinner disaster had happend. Only this time there was no thinner. They were in Ostown, exploring the ruins. Clarabelle went to her house only to find it was completly ruined, she held Horace trying to hide her tears for she lost everything. Suddenly when they turned around, the animatronic buddies were there to greet them. Donald, Goofy, and Daisy looked at their robotic look-a-likes. Both Goofys smiled and laughed, Both Daisys began their own conversation, and finally both Donalds copied each other with the classic "put up your dukes." pose. Everyone laughed as both Donalds glared at them.
"Okay," Horace stopped laughing. "We let's head to Mean Street."
They went to the projector screen to Mean Street, there was no one out in the streets. They reached the statue area and saw the castle.
"There it is." Gus said.
"Uncle! Uncle Gus!" A voice called out.
Gus turned around fast, his nephew Gremlin Markus came out of the blue. "Markus, you're alright!"
A buzzing sound of a saw filled the air, everyone turned to see a newly built beetleworx coming towards them. The girls panicked, Horace and the boys were ready to take down the machine.
The girls saw their oppurtunity to run, so they ran to Horace's old Detective agency and hid. Meanwhile back at the fight Horace drew his revovler and shot at the machine, the bullets went through the machine causing to spark. The Beetleworx was still moving and lashing out at them. Meanwhile back at the agency, the girls were recovering from the horror that they saw. Clarabelle was breathing heavidly, soon it turned moans of pain.
"It's time! The baby's coming!" she cried.
