Chapter IX

My name is Dewey Duck, and I am a survivor. My brother Huey just defeated Wraith, one of the strongest of the Sins. The volcano they were in erupted though, so I'm not sure if he made it out. But the huge door we were standing in front of finally opened. It led to a very white space. We chose to wait until Huey and April returned with Henry. As we waited, we talked about how all of this would finally be over. How after we defeat Lord Natas, we would celebrate with everyone who gets brought back. Once Huey gets here, I know for a fact that we can win. From what Light and Dark told me, he surpassed his limits. He ended up winning with a whole new transformation that he just made up in a matter of hours. He truly is something else. Now it's time that we do our part. It's time for Lord Natas to die.

HEAVEN (Day ?)

Huey and Henry

Huey saw the entrance and couldn't believe it. It wasn't at all what he thought it would be. Instead of just a big white cloud in the sky, it seemed like it was a whole other Earth. The grass was greener than he could have ever imagined. The sky was bluer than the pre-Apocalypse. There was a white city in the distance with all the edges of the buildings covered in gold.

Huey started walking towards the city holding Henry. As he walked to the city, he noticed all of the beautiful, exotic flowers that were on the ground. He noticed the trees and how they were luscious and green. Huey didn't know how to feel about any of it.

Once Huey made it to the city, an angel took Henry from his arms.

"We will take care of him, but there is someone who would love to speak with you." The angel said as Huey followed the other angels. They took him to the tallest building in the city and walked him to the elevator.

"He is on the top floor." Another angel said as Huey pressed the top button. As Huey went up, he heard a song at the end of one of the movies he watched before the world ended. It was a song that came out in the fifties, but it was the perfect song to play to end the franchise. When Huey arrived at the top floor, the doors to the elevator opened. He was greeted by 10 people in a white room. They were all sitting at a long dining room table. Huey knew most of the people sitting there, but there was someone sitting at the end of the table that had their chair turned around. The was an empty chair at the other end of the table.

"Please have a seat." The man in the chair said. Huey knew who the man was and decided to take a seat.

"It seems you were expecting me." Huey said as Mark Beaks finally turned around.

"Because I knew you would come." Beaks said as Huey got more serious.

"You know you aren't supposed to be here." Huey said as everyone at the table listened. "You all deserve to die in hell. There are good people that died and went straight to hell. That should've been you people." Beaks cut him off.

"I never thought we deserved to be here." Beaks said to Huey's surprise. "But do you understand that what happened was the rapture. The people that died before everything happened went to Heaven, but the people who lied about something, or stole something, or even said a swear word stayed on Earth. We are not the only bad guys. We just had an opportunity and we took it. Now we're going to give you an opportunity. An opportunity to save the world from utter destruction. But I have to tell you, there are people that are going to die, and you're just going to have to deal with that." Huey then snapped at him and banged his hands on the table.

"AND WHY THE HELL SHOULD I TRUST YOU!" Huey yelled angrily as Beaks calmly responded.

"Because your little girlfriend Rose is still alive." Beaks said as Huey just stared at him.

HELL (Day ?)

Dewey's Group

Dewey and the group felt the gate that they were standing in front of start to open. The first thing he thought of was to run right in, guns blazing. But that wouldn't be very smart. He decided to wait for his brother. Inside of the gate was nothing but darkness. Everything was completely black. Louie put his hand inside of the darkness and he couldn't see it anymore. He immediately pulled his hand back out of fear. Dewey put his hand in the darkness and could see it. But then something strange started to happen. He started hearing someone speak to him. He looked around and everyone looked as if they were frozen in time.

"I will give you one chance to turn around." The voice said as Dewey listening. "The moment your body passes through the gate is the moment another one of your friends die." He had a very deep voice seemed to have a lot of power. Dewey could tell by the way he talked, but he wasn't backing down.

"Once my brother comes, we're kicking your ass." Dewey said as the voice responded.

"You're brother isn't coming." The voice said as Dewey had a confused look on his face. "He went through Heaven's Gate to save the life of his boy. He will not come back for some time, not counting this of course." Dewey was confused about his abilities.

"Tell me Natas, what is your power." Dewey said as Natas laughed.

"I shouldn't be surprised that you knew it was me." Natas said as he laughed maniacally. "I will not tell you my abilities, because if I did, you would find a way to beat me. I can tell you that time can be involved. But it is not limited to that power." Dewey thought he figured it out.

"So you have every power." Dewey said confidently as Natas responded.

"You are so close to figuring it out, but also so far." Natas said as he pushed Dewey out of the time prison. Dewey pulled his hand out of the gate as quickly as he could. Louie was confused.

"What happened?" Louie asked as Dewey started to sweat uncontrollably. He didn't know what was going on. All he knew was that Natas was inside. Dewey then turned around to see someone running in the distance. It was April. Natas was right, Huey wasn't with her. Dewey was scared to let anyone go inside because he was afraid that Natas had the power to kill them. April approached them as Dewey ran towards her.

"Where's Huey?" Dewey asked as April answered.

"He's in Heaven." April said as everyone gasped. April started to explain further. "No, he's not dead. He's saving Henry. Wraith hurt him pretty bad. But he'll be okay. Then we can go back to being normal. Everything can go back to being normal." Everyone started to smile at that as they started to walk in. Dewey then got in everyone's way.

"We have to wait for Huey." Dewey said anxiously. Louie was confused as he saw Dewey sweating profusely.

"Dewey, what the hell, get out of the way." Louie said as he pushed Dewey away. Dewey immediately got back in his way. Louie got upset. "Are you seriously doing this right now?! We are so close to getting everything back to normal and now you're telling me you're too scared to do this." Dewey tried to explain.

"Louie please, this is not a good idea." Dewey said as Louie cut him off before he could explain further.

"Are you kidding me?!" Louie said angrily as Dewey flinched. "We knew this was a bad idea. We all knew to begin with. You're the one who started this mess, so you should be the one to finish it. When Rank 1 offered you that opportunity to rebuild the world from the ashes, you should've taken it. But instead you decided to act on impulse like you always do. Now we're going to kill Natas, and you're either with us or against us." Out of no where, they heard the voice of someone they once knew.

"Dewey is right, we aren't ready for this yet." Baron said as everyone was surprised by his sudden entry. Destiny ran up to him and hugged him.

"I thought I lost you." Destiny said as Baron was too tense to hug her back. Louie was confused by the whole situation as everyone started welcoming Baron back. Louie decided to shut it down.

"ENOUGH!" Louie said as everyone stopped talking. "Everyone needs to choose a side. Do we want to kill Lord Natas now, or are we gonna wait on a chance of a lifetime. Our freedom is right behind that door. I'm gonna get it whether anyone is with me or not." As Louie walked forward, every one followed. Everyone but Dewey, Baron, Destiny, and Webby. Dewey could just let his brother run to his death. He then jumped in front of him as Louie pulled out a carbon card. Dewey pulled out his swords and pointed one at Louie. "Are you sure you wanna do this?!" Louie asked as Dewey lowered his sword.

"If you walk in there you die!" Dewey said as Louie got angry.

"IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A THREAT!" Louie yelled as he threw a carbon card at Dewey. Dewey tried to block it but it ended up cutting his arm. Dewey then knew that Louie wouldn't stop until Dewey was out of his way. Louie was using his luck abilities to prevent Dewey from blocking his attacks. Dewey decided that he didn't really want to fight his brother, but Louie didn't care. Louie threw five carbon cards Dewey. Dewey managed to block all of them. Louie was confused by this. Louie then got in close range with Dewey and started using his cards like knives. Dewey managed to dodge everyone of his cuts. Louie was even more confused.

"How are you doing this?!" Louie asked as Dewey stared. "I took away all your luck and I gave my self a boatload of luck. Are you telling me I'm just that weak. Are you telling me that I can't even come close to you or Huey." Louie sounded as if he was defeated. As Louie dropped to his knees crying, Dewey dropped down next to him.

"Louie, if we continued, I would have died." Dewey said as Louie was confused. "I never used so much focus in a fight like that. If I lost just a tiny bit of it, it would've been fatal. I saw Natas in there. He said that if I walk in there again, one of you will die. I don't want anymore of you to die." Louie stopped him.

"We're not afraid of death at this point Dewey." Louie said with confidence. "If we have at least one shot at bringing the world back to what it once was, we're taking it. Even if all of us die in the process, we're taking it. I don't care if I live through this, I just want everything to go back to normal." Dewey decided that his brother was right. He got up and followed everyone into the gate. Once everyone was in the gate, time immediately froze for everyone but Dewey. A man in a suit and glasses suddenly appeared in front of him. The man started to speak.

"Dewford, I gave you a very generous offer." The man said as Dewey was confused. He didn't sound at all like Natas.

"Where's Lord Natas?" Dewey asked as the man answered.

"I can take as many forms as I so please." The man said as Dewey got tense. "Interrupt me again and I will have everyone's head. Now I gave you a very generous offer and you refused to take it." Natas snapped his fingers and half of the group disappeared. All that was left were Dewey, Dante, Iris, Jax, Webby, and April. Dewey was confused.

"What happened, where are they?!" Dewey asked as Natas answered.

"Don't worry, they're back on Earth." Natas said with a smirk on his face. "The green one will surely be devastated when time resumes. But before he's bawling and whimpering like a child, let's have our own fun. I want you to choose which one of these people die. It's a simple game with one simple rule, you can't choose yourself. There are no loopholes in this game, so choose wisely. If you don't choose in 5 minutes, I'll have to choose for you, and you won't like who I pick. Happy pickings Chosen One." Natas said as he disappeared from the world. Time stayed frozen for Dewey while Natas laughed in the distance.
