Chapter 9

Nathan was frightened by Dewey's power. He used the orb to give himself the power of fire. Nathan then laughed as he realized that he had more control in his world.

"I just realized, I can give myself powers too." Nathan said as he made a fire ball. "You can't beat me in this world." Dewey didn't show any emotion what so ever.

"Do you really think that will save you?" Dewey asked rhetorically in a strange voice. It sounded like he was speaking with multiple voices. "I have the power of the gods, what makes you think you can beat me. You have nothing that I don't have. It's time to give up." Dewey then lunged at Nathan and shot him with his lightning. Nathan was knocked back as Dewey went to free Webby. Webby was happy that she was free, but she noticed that Nathan wasn't done yet. Nathan was preparing to make a punch with his flaming hand. Dewey decided to counter it with a move of his own.

"DEWEY'S SUPER AWESOME DEADLY THUNDER FIST COMBO BREAKER!" Dewey said as he used his move. He continuously punched Nathan with his lightning covering hands. Nathan didn't have any way of blocking it. Dewey did this until Nathan fell on the ground. When Nathan went unconscious, Dewey did so as well. Webby rushed over to Dewey as he started having another one of his dreams.

Dewey was in an open field with reeds everywhere. He saw Webby standing in the distance. He started running to her. Once he made it to her, he saw that she was standing above Nathan. Webby had two things in her hand: a knife and a pair of handcuffs. She seemed to be conflicted. She then started singing an old Scottish song that Dewey felt like he knew. Dewey started talking to her while she was singing.

"It's over now, we've won." Dewey said as Webby continued to sing. She didn't stop at all. Dewey was confused as she held out the items in her hand. It was almost as if she wanted Dewey to pick one. She finally stopped singing.

"Choose what you think he deserves." Webby said as Dewey looked at the items. "Does he deserve death, or does he deserve your mercy?" Dewey had a hard time thinking of what he wanted to do.

"This is a hard decision." Dewey said as he was weighing out the pros and cons. After a long time evaluating his options, Dewey finally made a decision.

Dewey regained consciousness and saw Webby with the orb. He got up and walked over to Webby, but he also noticed Nathan was still unconscious. Dewey walked over to him. Webby noticed that Dewey was finally awake and gave him a hug.

"Dewey, I'm so happy you're alright." Webby said as she and Dewey continued to hug for a long time.

"I like you." Dewey said causing Webby to blush during the hug. "I mean, I like like you. I don't care if you feel the same way or not, I just wanted you to..." Before Dewey finished, he was cut off by Webby's kiss. Dewey was surprised, but didn't want to back away. As this was happening, Huey had found away to open the portal. They didn't notice him until he started clearing his throat. They then started to blush bright red as Huey smirked.

"Sorry to ruin the moment, but we have to go in like, 25 seconds." Huey said as Webby jumped through the portal. Dewey looked down at Nathan and was contemplating on whether he should go with them or not. He then felt something in his hands. He had created handcuffs through the powers that the dimension had given him. He then dragged Nathan through the portal and handcuffed him to a pole.

Louie started walking Shark back to his house. Louie felt a little awkward after seeing the vision with Shark and Terra. He then decided to break the silence.

"I'm sorry about the, you know." Louie said as Shark was confused. Louie then sighed. "I'm sorry about what happened to Terra." Shark then took a cigarette out of his pocket and started to light it. Once it was lit, he took a puff of it and blew it out.

"Kid, you have nothing to be sorry for." Shark said as Louie felt bad. "If anyone should be sorry it's me. I drove the car, I crashed the car, ruined her life. The doctors say that she's never gonna walk, talk, or think again. Even though she's already pretty much dead, her parents refuse to pull the plug. Her parents won't even let me visit her, claim that I would make her worse. How can I make her even worse than she already is. Do you know what the worst thing about doing that to her is? It's knowing that both her and I have to live with it. I have to live with the fact that I ruined her life and she has to live with my mistake. I just wish I could change things." Louie was now feeling really bad for Shark.

"Shark, I know I can't ever know how you feel." Louie started as Shark started feeling better. "But I just want you to know that you shouldn't blame yourself for what happened. We all make mistakes and we all learn from them. You should learn from this one too." Shark started feeling a lot better now that Louie helped him out.

"Thanks kid, sorry bout what I did to your brother a while back." Shark said as Louie started to smile. "I just thought that if I had some fun with him I'd forget about what I did, and I'm sorry." Louie was very forgiving.

"It's okay Shark, things happen." Louie said as they finally arrived at Shark's house.

"Call me Ryan." Shark said as he entered his house and closed the door. Louie then started walking home by himself.

Nathan woke up from his unconscious state. He tried to move but he noticed he was handcuffed to a pole. He then looked up at Huey, Dewey and Webby.

"We've already called the cops." Dewey said as Nathan started laughing.

"What is the police going to do, arrest me?!" Nathan said hysterically. "Honestly, I've told you a thousand times, my father is the..." Nathan was cut off by an impatient Huey.

"Tenth richest duck in Duckburg, we've heard it only about a million times." Huey said as he started to role his eyes. "Well I've done a little research on your father and I found something interesting. When was the last time you saw your father paying his taxes?" Nathan starting sweating profusely.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Nathan said trying to avoid them discovering what his father does.

"Well it seems that he never really paid any." Huey said as Nathan gulped in fear. "And it also seems that your father has been cheating everyone in Duckburg out of their money for a long time, him being a stock broker and all." Nathan was getting scared, but then he started thinking about something.

"Do you really think the police are gonna believe you?!" Nathan asked rhetorically as he laughed. "I mean, who's gonna believe a couple of kids?" Nathan started laughing until Huey started smirking.

"True, but who wouldn't listen to factual evidence." Huey said as he pulled out a chart of the money that his father should be making compared to the money he's making now. "Once the police sees these, you and your father are going away for a long time." Nathan could hear sirens coming from the distance. He was desperate to get out.

"Please, I don't wanna go to jail, I'll do anything." Nathan begged as the police was starting to get closer. "Please, have mercy!" Dewey started to laugh.

"Don't you get it!" Dewey said angrily. "This is mercy! I could have killed you back there in that dimension, but I chose to let you live. As far as I'm concerned, this is the most merciful I'm gonna get right now!" Dewey held up Nathan's orb and slammed it on the ground, causing it to break. Nathan watched as his relic shattered before his eyes. As much as Nathan wanted to scream, he didn't say a word. He just stared down at the ground as the police showed up to the house. "Have fun in jail." Was the last thing Dewey said to Nathan before the cops collected him and but him in a squad car. Webby started to hold Dewey's hand.

"Is it over?" Webby asked as Dewey looked back at a broken Nathan.

"Yeah, it's over." Dewey said as they all walked back into the house.
