Inside they saw everyone; the triplets, Donald, Daisy, Launchpad, Mrs. Beakley, Duckworth, Goldie, Webby, Lena, Minima, the DeSpell sisters and Granny DeSpell all locked in cages suspended from the ceiling; and for some reason Brigitta was now present and locked up as well. "I'm so sorry Scrooge!" She cried when she saw him. There was a large hole in the back wall and in the center of the room stood Flintheart Glomgold and Rosolio, who was wearing a deep red velvet robe with magical symbols embroidered all over it and a golden sash tied around his plump waist. His top hat was gone and in its place; a leather cap the same color as the robe. On his face he wore a very dark scowl, an expression very unlike him, even when he was angry.
"Rosolio WHAT are you doing!?" Magica demanded. When he cackled the sound was chilling and when he spoke the voice that came from his mouth wasn't his own. "This 'Rosolio' has become my vessel until I regain my true physical form!" It boomed. That was when Magica noticed the medallion around his neck. A large golden disc with a magical symbol engraved on the center with ancient text surrounding it. She couldn't read it all but what little she could scared her. "Who are you then?" Scrooge asked. "I am Haguk the all-powerful and now that I've finally been released from prison of centuries past I will rule this pathetic world." "Glomgold you fool! What have you done?!" Magica screeched at Glomgold who stood proudly beside the possessed goose. "I just thought I was giving him a power boost but it turns out I gained a better ally! As soon as that idiot put on the medallion Haguk took over! And Ms. MacBridge was kind enough to volunteer to be my hostage, although now it looks like I have hostages to spare ha-ha!" Glomgold laughed manically.
Scrooge noticed Magica seemed very concerned about the situation but what worried him was that ALL the DeSpells seemed very worried. "Magica," He whispered to her. "Is there something I should about this?" "I don't know much but what I do know is that Haguk is exactly what he says he is and he is corrupted beyond any sort of salvation by his power. He is very dangerous." Suddenly Haguk's deep voice boomed again, this time chanting a spell. A magical energy manifested itself and swirled around Granny DeSpell who started to scream and writhe at its touch. "Granny!" Her granddaughters cried out in unison until one by one it enveloped Hexa, Castandra, Winnicent, Minima, and Lena causing all of them to scream and writhe around in some sort of pain.
"What are you doing to them!" Magica cried as she watched the horrific scene before her. "You will find out soon enough." Haguk responded coldly. Webby begged him to leave her friend alone while the others cringed and Brigitta began to cry and repeatedly apologize for her part in this disaster. Then the magical energy left the other DeSpells and slowly creeped toward Magica. She backed away from it, true fear in her eyes as she moved behind Scrooge, not really using him a shield, but this time looking for protection despite knowing he couldn't stop it.
She frantically tried to recite spells to stop the magical energy or protect herself but nothing was stopping the menacing fog. Then she heard Castandra's weak voice. "Run Magica!... Get away… before it gets you… too!" Before Magica could heed her sister's words the energy enveloped her and she immediately realized what was happening and why it was so terrifying and painful. The magical energy was like a powerful magnet, forcefully draining her of all her power. Once it had done it's job the magical energy returned to Haguk and his medallion glowed brightly with the stolen power. Magica was now on her knees and trembling from what she'd just experienced and the fear of the new feeling washing over her; helplessness.
"Magica! Are you okay? What did he do to you?" Scrooge asked, now on his knees beside her, taking her hands in his as he noticed her trembling. "H-he took my power…" She said, feeling so weak she thought she might faint as the rest of her family had. Haguk cackled, his voiced seeming even louder and more booming than before. "I feel the power coursing through me and my strength growing!" "That's great; now on to more important matters! Let's get rid of Scrooge McDuck so I can take his money and be the richest duck in the world!" Glomgold cackled. Haguk merely laughed in his face. "You truly think I care about your pathetic whims?" Glomgold shank back a bit as Haguk leered at him. "Well your vessel and I made a bargain!" "HA!" Haguk laughed and with a mere wag of his finger Glomgold was in a cage just like the others. "I made no such bargain! But…" He said slowly, grabbing one of the bars of the cage as he studied Glomgold who was trying not to look scared. "I could still make use of you." Glomgold swallowed hard. "Uh, how can I help you?" "You can scrub my floors ha! ha!" Haguk laughed as he shoved the cage back, causing it to swing violently. Glomgold screamed as he fell on his tail feathers, balance lost to him due to the violent swinging of the cage.
"Well, I have all I need to begin restoring my body. Now I just need a place to conduct my work." Haguk looked through the hole in the wall that he and Glomgold had entered through and his eyes fixed on Scrooge's money bin. "It's no tower but it should do nicely." He smirked evilly and with a wave of his hand and a few words he, and all the cages with their prisoners, were gone. Scrooge helped Magica up and they watched as Haguk's magic enveloped the money bin and transformed it into a tall, imposing, medieval tower. "My money bin… My family…" Scrooge looked on helplessly at the living nightmare unfolding before him.
