Chapter 6

The boys went to school the next day and made sure Louie was on the lookout for Nathan. Louie was terrified of getting hypnotized by Nathan. He just wanted his blanket back. Louie heard a voice from inside the earpiece Huey gave him.

"Now remember the plan." Huey said trying to make sure Louie doesn't mess anything up. "Pretend to get hypnotized, get the blanket and the JWG, and get out of there." Louie put his finger up to the earpiece on the side of his head.

"Got it." Louie confirmed as he finally saw Nathan. He was holding his orb up, ready to hypnotize Louie, but he decided to hold off.

"You know what, you seem absolutely terrified." Nathan acknowledged. Louie just gritted his teeth, hoping that the plan of Huey's would work to make sure he wouldn't get hypnotized. "Tell you what, I'll make this quick and painless, all you have to do is tell me what you want. If you do that I'll give it to you." Louie was very hesitant. The hallway was full of other students and he didn't want them to hear that he was going through all this trouble just to get back a blanket.

"What?!" Louie asked as if he didn't know what Nathan meant.

"Oh come on, you don't really think I'm that stupid do you?!" Nathan said as one of his friends pulled the earpiece out of Louie's ear and crushed it. "There are other ways to manipulate someone, a little trick I picked up from my father. Now what is it that you want?" Nathan asked with a grin.

"I want my brother's book back." Louie said as he gritted his teeth angrily. Huey and Dewey watched from a distance as Louie got Huey's book back.

"And what else is it that you want?" Nathan said grinning evilly. Louie was embarrassed when people were now starting to stare at them.

"My blanket." Louie said softly. Nathan took advantage of this.

"What?!" Nathan said mockingly. "I can't hear you, you're gonna have to speak louder." Louie was now even more embarrassed as he repeated what he said. Louie heard the bell rang and he saw everybody go to their class. Nathan was now unamused. He was hoping to make a fool out of Louie.

"Good, now give me back my blanket." Louie said angrily. "I haven't had a good nights sleep without it." Nathan the gave Louie back his blanket. Louie started rubbing his face all over it. "Oh I missed you so much blanky, we're never gonna be separated again." Louie said as Nathan started laughing hysterically. "Laugh all you want, but you didn't do what you wanted to do. Nobody's here to watch us, so where's your precious revenge now." Louie said grinning as he started walking away.

"Oh but I already did." Nathan said grinning evilly. Louie was confused. "Look around at the reality you think you're in, is it really your reality?" Nathan snapped his fingers and Louie noticed a crowd of people laughing at him. Louie was so confused and speechless.

"But...but..." Louie was cutoff by Nathan.

"The only thing keeping you from being hypnotized was the earpiece." Nathan said as the bell rang for everyone to go to class. "And since you didn't have that anymore, there was nothing you could do to prevent this situation from happening." A portal opened up right behind Nathan. "See you around greeny." Nathan went through the portal as Louie angrily walked over to where his brothers were.

"HERES YOUR STUPID BOOK!" Louie yelled angrily at Huey.

"Louie we are so sor..." Dewey started until he was cutoff by Louie.

"YEAH, THANKS A LOT!" Louie yelled. "I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAPPY TO HAVE RUINED YOUR BROTHER'S REPUTATION!" Louie stormed off as Huey was gonna go after him. Dewey stopped him by holding a hand on his shoulder.

"Let him go." Dewey said as Huey looked down feeling guilty about what happened. There was something that crossed his mind though.

"The orb is supposed to be a seduction orb, yet it has more qualities than just seduction." Huey said has he looked into his Guidebook. "According to the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook, the orb's power is based on the dopamine levels of the user, until it's physical properties are depleted and manifested inside the users brain to cause an implosion." Dewey was annoyed.

"Huey, how many times do we have to tell you?" Dewey said as he smacked his forehead. "If you keep using nerd words nobody will understand you." Huey was also getting annoyed.

"Fine, to dumb things down for you, it's basically an orb with no limit in power, that is seducing him to the point of killing him." Huey said. "The stronger he gets, the stronger the orb gets." Dewey started thinking about it for a second.

"Great, now we need to get the orb for three reasons." Dewey said as he started counting them off with his fingers. "One, to save Webby. Two, to stop that jerk from thinking he can just go around hypnotizing people. And three, to save his sorry tail from getting himself killed." The boys started heading to their class together as Nathan was admiring his newly found power.

"With this orb, I can do anything I want and no one can stop me." Nathan said as his friends started getting scared of him.

"Hey Nathan, maybe you should put the orb down." One of Nathan's friends said. "It's really starting to change you, a lot." Nathan grew angry with this.

"How dare you!" Nathan said angrily. "Say such a thing again and I will make sure it will be the last time." Nathan's other friend tried to say something as well.

"He's right Nathan, this power has started to get to your head." His other friend said as Nathan activated the orb.

"I want each of you to put duck tape over your mouths and then rip them off." Nathan said as the hypnotized friends did as they were told. "Do this until I'm satisfied." He could tell that his friends were in immense pain, but he couldn't care less. He took out the newspaper with the McDuck kids on it and crossed out Louie's picture. He then circled Webby's picture. "Now all that's left to do is claim my prize." Nathan said as he started laughing maniacally.

The bell rang for everyone to go home from school. As Huey and Dewey waited for the limo, they saw Louie coming out of the school with everyone laughing at him.

"Aw, did little Louie miss his blanky." One of the kids said in a baby voice as another threw a juice box at him. Huey and Dewey felt really bad for putting Louie in a situation like that. Although they were hypnotized, they were not publicly humiliated like Louie was.

"Hey, how you feeling?" Dewey asked as Louie got upset.

"How does it look like I'm feeling?" Louie asked sarcastically. The limo pulled up and they got inside. Once they got home, Dewey went in the other room to talk to Webby while Huey and Louie discussed what happened earlier that day.

"Louie, I'm so so soo sorry." Huey started as Louie started reading his comic book. "I didn't think he was smart enough to know there was an earpiece in your ear." Louie interrupted him.

"First of all, you don't have to apologize." Louie said as Huey was confused. "I get it, I was the next target anyway, it was pretty much inevitable. Second, you said the seduction orb has other powers right?!" Huey nodded in agreement as Louie continued. "What if he used mind reading powers to get the information he need to disable the earpiece." Huey thought that Louie suggestion seemed like the most valid explanation for how Nathan knew the plan in the first place. Louie started looking at a very nervous Huey. He was confused. "Huey are you okay?" Huey didn't know how to respond.

"To be honest, no." Huey said nervously. "I don't see any possible way of Dewey being able to stop Nathan from getting Webby. Nathan is just too unpredictable, I can't seem to find a way around his backup plans." Huey started thinking of solutions as Louie put an arm around him.

"Hey, if anyone can figure it out, it's you big guy." Louie said putting a smile on his brother's face. "After all, you are the brains in the family."

"Thanks Lou, I'm sure I'll find a way." Huey said as Louie went back to reading his comics.

Dewey and Webby were looking through an old box of pictures that Dewey's Uncle Donald had on the houseboat. Webby noticed a weird looking guy in one of the pictures.

"Hey Dewey, do you know who this is at all?" Webby asked as Dewey to a closer look. It was the same person from the image in the Sphere of Selene that Huey showed him the night before.

"I have no idea, but I feel like I've seen that person somewhere before." Dewey said as they started looking at more pictures in the box. As they looked in the box, their hands touched and they started to jump back. There cheeks started to turn red as they did so. Webby started to clear her throat.

"Sorry I accidentally touched your hand." Webby said awkwardly.

"It's okay, sorry I touched yours." Dewey said as equally awkward. Just they were about to search for more clues, his uncle Donald came in the room.

"What are you kids doing in here?" Donald asked as Dewey tried to think of a good answer. Desperate to not get caught, Webby answered for him.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted Dewey to show me some old pictures." Webby said apologetically. "As we were looking through, we found some pictures of this one guy that Dewey doesn't recognize. Does he look familiar at all?" Donald stared at the picture for a long time. Dewey was thinking it's because he had a flashback to the day of the picture. Once Donald woke up from his flashback, he put the picture back in the box and started taking the box away.

"That's enough memories for today, we don't really like talking about he who shall not be named." Donald said as he started walking out of the room.

"Why can't he be named?" Dewey asked as his uncle Donald turned to face him.

"Let's just say he's a jerk that deserves nothing he possesses." Donald said as he left the room. Dewey and Webby had a lot to think about, but all that was flushed away when the door bell rang.
