"ZZZZZZZZGGGGGHHHHH..."
In his bedroom (full of portraits of himself) Flintheart Glomgold was snoring loudly,
as he slept in his ridiculously sized bedroom while holding a bag of money like a teddy bear.
His slumber didn't last long.
((*INTRUDER ALERT!, INTRUDER ALERT!*))
"GAAHH!" screamed Glomgold, who (somehow) fell out of his bed. "The th' HADES is that?!"
((*INTRUDER ALERT!, INTRUDER ALERT!*))
It soon dawns on Glomgold just what the sounding alarm meant.
the grumpy old duck marched to his bedroom door, and burst out of it angrily.
"WHO DARES TO BREAK IN, AN' STEAL FROM FLINTHEART GLOMGO-AAAARGH!"
Glomgold was cut off from his bellowing by a stray laser from on of his sentry robots
(which fried his beard, leaving nothing but singled bristles.)
Webby and Danny however, were running fast through the halls
as more, and more attack robot emerged from hidden walls, and fired at them.
"This is so AWESOME!" exclaimed Webby "It's just like the time-!"
"Could we reminisce AFTER we get away from all the Murder-Bots?!" said Danny.
"OH, Right! SORRY!"
As the two entered the Museum wing, they stopped at a wall of sentry drones.
The robots formed a barrier that they couldn't get past without getting blasted.
Thinking quickly, Webby drew out her grapple gun, grabbed Danny
and fired a line at the rafter from before, and zipped up.
..BUT, the sentry bots were SMART, and fired their shots at the cable.
*SNAP!*
"AAAAAAHHH!"
"AAAAAARRGGG!"
Somehow, the duo lucked out, and tumbled at the other side of the 'Bot Barrier'
But, as they looked up, the Sentry Bots all aimed their weapons at them.
Danny quickly spread out his palms, repelling the bots away from them.
"Great reflexes!" said Webby.
"COME ON!" exclaimed Danny, and he pulled Webby up.
Danny then pulled her onto his back. "Danny, what are you-?!"
"Hold tight!, I'm about to do something a bit crazy."
Webby grinned. "I'm good with CRAZY."
Danny took a deep breath as he gripped his golden crystal.
It glowed a bright as a star..Then, Danny began running.
Running as super fast speed, ripping the floor apart with each step he took.
Webby's stunned gasped turned into a wide grin of joy.
(("AWWWWWWWWWWESOOOOOOOOOOOME!")) exclaimed Webby, her voice distorted from the high speed.
Danny finally stopped short in the lobby of the mansion, breathing heavily as he felt drained.
He'd never used his powers to run that fast, for THAT long before.
"uhh..Danny?" began Webby, trying to get his attention.
Danny looked, and saw what looked like hundreds of sentry bot gather in the lobby.
as the two kids looked around, they realized they were surrounded on all sides.
There was no way to get out..Without a FIGHT.
*CHIK!* Webby loaded a new hook into her grapple gun.
"Danny..if we die, I just wanna say I had the best time with you,
and you are without a doubt my SECOND best friend that I have ever had." said Webby.
Danny eyed Webby "You're one weird duck, Webby.." began Danny.
"but, you're weird like mom was..and, I like you alot."
Webby smiled, then gave a courageous grin. "Let's give these bucket of bolts some HECK!"
"Ladies first." said Danny.
Webby fired her hook, and impaled a sentry bot with it.
Pressing another button on her grappel gun, she short a surge of electricity down the line.
The bot was not only overloaded, but so was several others near it.
They all exploded in a firey blaze.
Danny was up next, who reached out his arms, and spread out his hands.
He lifted up several sentry bots, and upon making balling up his fists..CRUSHED THEM.
Webby fired another hook at a Sentry Bot, and began to jerk at her line,
flinging the bot into others like one big flail.
Danny made gripping gestures, and upon putting his hands together,
slammed several sentry bot into each other. Crushing some, and exploding others.
Webby fired another hook..which Danny guided, directing it to shoot through a line of sentry bots.
Webby again sent a surge through her line, and cause ever more sentry bots to explode.
With less Sentry Bots left, Danny gripped his crystal as he focused once more.
As Webby continued to fend off the robots, Danny focused all of his anger,
And began to charge his hands with an orb of compressed energy.
His dark blue energy ball got bigger, and Bigger...until-
"WEBBY!, GET DOWN!" called Danny.
Webby 'ducked', and Danny finally unleashed the energy into a concussive blast,
that not only obliterated all the sentry bots in front of him..but, torn open a gaping hole in the building.
"time to go." said Danny, taking Webby's hand as he lifted her up.
as the two ran out the 'new front door', Webby smiled. "Not bad for our first adventure!"
Danny smiled at his friend. "Mom always did say: "It's not an adventure UNLESS your running for your life."
As the two approached the Glomgold Manor's gate..they suddenly disappeared in a puff of green smoke.
Danny and Webby suddenly tumbled down in another puff of smoke.
They looked up, and found themselves back in McDuck Manor.
And, looming over them was Scrooge McDuck, Mrs. Beakley..and, Amelia Le Strange.
"Aunt Amelia?" spoke Danny.
"You children..are in a WORLD of trouble." spoke Mrs. Beakley, sternly.
"G-Granny, I-"
"Don't you GRANNY me, Webbigail Vanderquack." said Beakley, her tone harsh.
"What were you THINKING?!, dragging Danny out into the city, knowing FULL WELL he can't be seen by anyone."
"I got him a Disguise-"
"That isn't th' POINT!" exclaimed Scrooge. "Danny's powers are volatile right now!
We cannae risk him going out AT ALL until we are CERTAIN he can keep his emotions under control."
"But, he WAS!" said Webby. "He was with me the whole time, and never-"
"SHUSH, Webbigail. You are GROUNDED!" said Mrs. Beakley
"You are forbade from going on any more adventures with Mr. McDuck for ONE MONTH."
Webby tears up. "but-"
"Go to your room. THAT is an order."
Webby hung her head low. she then gave Danny a tight hug.
As Webby ran off in tears, Danny tried to reach out to her.
"Mrs. Beakley, you can't punish Webby like this!" began Danny,
as he turned back to the adult ducks. "She was just tying to cheer me up!"
"She broke protocol, Danny. I can't just let that slide." said Mrs. Beakley.
"But, I helped her break into Glomgold's Mansion, and steal his Number One Nickel." began Danny
"If she is being punished for all that, then I should-
"WAIT!, wait-wait.." interjected Scrooge, facing Danny "YOU broke into Glomgold's mansion..and, stole his Nickel!?"
Danny reached into his pocket, and showed Scrooge the worn out nickel.
As Amelia cackled at this, Scrooge took the nickle, and exampled the coin carefully.
"yea..that's Glomgold's a'ight." Scrooge cackled. "Wish Ah' could see the look on his face."
"MR. MCDUCK, this is a Serious matter!" said Mrs. Beakley.
"Aye, Ah' hear ya'." said Scrooge, pocketing the nickel.
"But, It sounds like Danny wishes to take responsibility fer' his, and Webbigail's actions."
Scrooge smiled. "Ah' like that. (clears throat) Now, Danny..Ah' can't overrule Mrs. Beakley's decision.
BUT, Ah' think we can work out a deal that will benefit Webby in the long run."
Danny listened. "If yer' willing, you can work off Webby's punishment." began Scrooge.
"by doing some chores 'round the mansion. Ev'ry Hour of work is one less day Webby is grounded."
"and, NO MAGIC." added Amelia.
"YES, You do it properly. with no shortcuts."
Danny nodded. "yes, uncle scrooge."
"An' don't forget the McDuck Family creedo.." said Scrooge.
"Yes. "Work Smarter, Not Harder." said Danny.
"An' if ye' work smart, ye'll be done sooner than ye' think."
Danny Nodded. "Can I go see Webby?"
"I don't think that's-"
"Of course you can, child. Go ahead." said Amelia, cutting off Mrs. Beakley.
As Danny walked off, Mrs. Beakley marched up to Amelia. "What do you think you are doing?!
Webbigail is GROUNDED, she should be thinking about what she did. NOT socializing!"
Amelia scowled. "Open your eyes, you old fool. and SEE what your granddaughter is really doing."
Mrs. Beakley scowled at the sorceress.
"Did you not see Danny's crystal?!" continued Amelia. "Before it was cold. full of Anger, and Sadness.
NOW, it glowed with great warmness. Webby is healing Danny's heart..and, keeping his darkness at bay."
"OH!, Ah see.." said Scrooge. "So, the more time he spends with the lass-"
"The better it will be for him to recover." answered Amelia. "and, not become another "Magica De Spell."
Mrs. Beakley exhaled sharply. "oh..very well. If it will really help him, then I will allow it.
But, just so we are CLEAR: My graddaughter is not to be used as a tool."
"Your granddaughter needs a special friend in her life after what happened to Lena. said Amelia, sternly.
"So, like it or not..those two NEED each other."
Webby was sitting alone in her room..holding her old Quackypatch doll in her hands.
She had it since she was a little girl, and though shed "abused" the thing now that she was older.
there were times..very RARE times, where she would turn back to it for comfort.
She found herself holding it alot since Lena's "death".
Webby then put it aside, and reached for a tin box. She opened it, and teared up at seeing the meager item inside.
To most, it was just junk. but, to her..it was her treasures.
Lena's old things.
Webby went through the box one more time.
Inside was Lena's journal, where the documented her recent life.
It was from this that Webby truly understood what she had to suffer through.
..Being Magica's slave.
In the box was also Lena's smartphone.
Completely drained, and never once recharged, and turned back on.
and, the most precious: Lena's friendship bracelet.
Webby recovered it when she returned to Lena's old hangout one last time.
She smiled as she touched it. It was the one proof she had that not all magic was "dark"
As Webby closed her eyes, and reminisced on the good times she shared with Lena..
..She could almost feel a warm, loving embrace around her.
(("webby..")) spoke Lena's ghostly voice.
(("Webby!")) spoke a different voice.
"GAH!" Webby jumped, startled out of her thoughts.
(("Webby, It's me..Danny! Can I come in?")) said Danny, from the other side of her door.
"uhh.." Webby scooted her doll and tin box under her bed. "sh-sure.."
Danny opened the door, and entered her room. he smiled awkwardly at her.
"Hi, um..sorry to bother you. (hey, nice place you got here.")
"Oh, it's okay.." said Webby. "I should be apologizing to you for getting you in trouble."
"Actually..I talked with Uncle Scrooge, and I worked out a way to get you OUT of trouble."
Webby's face lit up. "Really?!"
"I just need to do Thirty-One Hours of work, and I should get you off." explained Danny.
Webby smiled warmly. "You don't have to do that.."
"I know..but, I want to." said Danny. "We're friends. and, Friends share everything..even punishment."
Webby shrugged. "Well, so long as I am grounded..I guess I could help you."
"You don't have to do that, Webby."
"I know..I just want to." said Webby, with a grin.
The two then both chuckled, finding their conversation funny.
Danny then approached Webby, and gave her a hug.
Webby smiled wide, feeling a familiar warmness from Danny's embrace.
"thanks for the adventure, webby..I feel much better now."
As Danny turned to leave, Webby reached out to him. "Wait!"
Danny turned back to the duck. "yes?"
Webby paused..then, bent down to the floor of her bed.
Danny waited (looking away awkwardly due to seeing up Webby's skirt.)
Webby then rose back up, and show Danny something. "this..was Lena's."
Danny looked at the object in Webby's hand. "Is that a..Friendship Bracelet?"
"yeah..I made it for her. but, it was..lost." Webby looked at Danny with glossy eyes.
..Then, she offered the bracelet to Danny. "here. I think she'd want you to have it."
"webby, I really shouldn't-"
"PLEASE."
Danny hesitated..But, eventually took the colorful bracelet. He examined it, and found he liked it's color patterns.
He looked at Webby..who smiled at him. He himself smiled weakly, then put the bracelet around his wrist.
Danny then felt..something. like a surge going through his body.
..But, he brushed it off, and covered the bracelet with his sleeve.
"Thanks, Webby. I'll take care of it..I promise." said Danny.
"I know you will..Best Friend."
Danny smiled, feeling a little awkward. "well..I'd better go. Good-Night."
"Yeah..good-night." said Webby.
Danny turned, and walked back to the door.
He paused to glance back at Webby..blushing as he did.
Walking out the door, and made his way down the hall to his own room.
..Unaware that for a brief moment, his own shadow took another shape.
The shape of a Duck Girl.
As Danny made his way down the hall, he heard instinctive noises coming from another door.
He stopped, and looked at the door. Curious, he opened the door and looked inside.
He froze, a dumbfounded look on his face at seeing the sight that lay before him.
Dewey was sitting at a desk with a sign over his head that read "DEWEY DEW-NIGHT!"
while Huey and Dewey were gathered around Launchpad who was strung up like a Christmas Tree.
Once they noticed he was there, they all stared at him. "Uhhhh...I can explain this." said Dewey.
"nope." said Danny, disinterested. "I don't even want to know."
"hey, Danny Boy!" waved Launchpad.
"Hi, Launchpad." said Danny. "Bye, Launchpad." Danny then left.
"Okay, BYE!" called out the pilot. "Nice kid, that Danny."
[End of Part 7]
[Author Note]
Just so we're clear, Webby giving Danny Lena's friendship bracelet (which wasn't destroyed, merely discarded)
has created a link between Webby and Danny that Lena can use to interact with both of them.
I don't want anything thinking Lena has now merged with Danny permanently,
and has left Webby for good. as that isn't what happened.
Okay?, good.
So, this chapter has a bit more action with Danny and Webby busting some Glomgold Robots,
as that is ALSO what you came here to read: some DuckTales Action and Adventure.
and, yes. Danny and Launchpad know each other.
