Hello, everyone. I am Wald2000. This is my first fanfiction story.

This is a rewritten version of the DuckTales episode, Timephoon.

This version is based on chapter 48 of J. Tom's story Kingdom Heart III: The Army of Light. And that chapter made me wonder a few things. What if Della heard Donald's warning to Beakley about starting punishment now? What if Lena and Violet were there during the Timephoon mess? What if Huey and Violet teamed up on studying Bubba for a woodchuck report? What if Louie decided Della was right about him taking off in a contraption without thinking about the consequences?

This inspired me to make this one-shot rewrite. Enjoy!

Oh. And by the way… Prepare to see certain cartoon characters, outside of DuckTales, get zapped into the mansion. I think you'll be very surprised to see them.

So a couple weeks ago, Della had come back from the moon after being stranded for 11 years and got to meet her kids for the first time. It was a rocky start but she managed to make good progress with being a mom. She managed to bond with Huey with video games like Legends of Legends Quest and went on a daring adventure with Dewey. The only one she still had yet to bond with was Louie. She was wondering why she hadn't bond with him yet. Maybe Louie was still scared of getting to know Della. Then again, she realized that she, herself, hadn't come to him yet.

Before she could focus more on that, she heard a conversation between Donald, who was heading off with the other keyblade wielders to the Pride Lands, and Beakley going on.

She got a little closer to listen, but just enough to where they can't see her. Della heard Donald say "I'm not going to teach Della how to punish her kids." Della was confused about what he was talking about but continued to listen to Donald and Beakley.

"Why ever not?" Beakley asked, confused. "Now that Della's accepted her role as a mother she needs to start acting like a mother."

Della was confused, she thought to herself, "What? What the hell does she mean by that? I am acting like… No, what do I mean "acting like?" I AM being a mother."

"That means, discipling the boys whenever they step out of line, putting her foot down to prevent anything from going out of hand and showing tough love every now and then to make them better people." continued Beakley.

She heard Donald reply "That might've worked for you raising Webby, but it's not right for my sister. That's not her parenting style and it shouldn't be her style. She's not you Mrs B. Everyone has their own parenting style. You have your style and I have mine. And Della will have hers. First, she needs to learn how to love her children and support them in their dreams."

Della was glad to see Donald's point proved what she was thinking, but Beakley was unconvinced by Donald's opinion and merely crossed her arms.

"It sounds to me; you're going to teach Della how to spoil her children." Beakley accused Donald with a glare. It pissed Della off as well.

"I'm not teaching her to spoil anyone!" Donald angrily retorted. "I am going to teach her how to put her foot down, just not now. First, Della needs to get to know her boys and love them for who they are. Then, once that's done, I'll teach her about giving tough love. That way, she'll fully support the boys while keeping them in line. Della's just come back; she shouldn't be learning about tough love now, especially when she's still getting to know her sons. If she starts punishments now, she'll overdo it like she always does and make a terrible mistake that will ruin her relationship with them."

Della was letting what Donald said sync. She thought to herself, "Could what Donald said be true? Do I… really do overdo things?" She continued to listen to Donald and Beakley's conversation.

"Then what should she do if she sees her sons make a mistake that usually costs us our lives? You know it's a habit of theirs." Beakley asked, still unconvinced.

"She sits back and lets me handle it. If the boys do something like that, I'll punish them." Donald calmly replied. "And if I'm not around, like now since we're gonna be heading to the Pride Lands, then you and/or Scrooge give the punishments. The same applies if Uncle Ludwig comes back here. He's babysat the boys before and has experience with his three kids."

Beakley sighed, still unsure. "I'm not sure if I approve of this approach, Donald."

"I wasn't asking for approval, old lady." Donald said, annoyed with Beakley's stubbornness. "I'll teach Della about parenting MY way, not your way. You can help if you want, but you follow my lead and MY lead only." Beakley gave Donald another glare as he walked away. "Trust me, Mrs. B, I got this. You said it yourself, that you were worried about Della accidentally making a decision that could emotionally traumatize her kids, right?"

"Well, yes, but-" Beakley tries to reply but is cut off.

"There we go then!" Donald exclaimed. "This approach will prevent that from ever happening. Della learns to love first, then tough love later. End of discussion." He walked off waving and smirking. "Bye!"

As she watched Donald enter the gummiship, Della had to let everything she heard sync in. She said to herself, " Could what Donald said be true? Would I really overdo punishment if I started now?" She started to worry but brushed it off saying "Oh, what am I worried about? There's nothing my kids will do that will make me start punishments now."

Duckburg, McDuck Manor:

A couple of days later, a dark night came into Duckburg, along with a terrible storm coming. Scrooge, Della, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, Beakley and Launchpad were taking shelter at McDuck Manor. April, May and June were out with Xandra.

Lena was gathering breakable objects as requested by Beakley and bringing them into the foyer. She just finished getting the breakable items in one of the closets.

Lena said to herself, "Well, that's all the breakable objects." She grabbed the box that she placed the items in and started to head into the foyer.

She started to think to herself, "Where the heck is Louie? He hadn't shown up since the storm started."

Lena came across Scrooge's office, where the scottish duck was gathering various canes.

Lena asked, "Hey, Uncle Scrooge, have you seen Louie anywhere?"

Scrooge answered, "I thought he was with you, lass."

Lena responded, "I haven't seen him since the storm started."

Scrooge said to her, "Why don't you ask Mrs. Beakley? I'm sure she may know where the lad gone off to."

Lena headed into the kitchen and saw Beakley gathering food from the pantry.

Lena then asked, "Hey, Teatime, have you…"

Beakley immediately answered "No, Lena, I haven't seen Louie. And I'm kinda busy making sure we have food we won't get from. Did you get one of those breakable items like I asked you to?"

The magic duck showed the box she carried and answered, "Yep, this is the last of them."

Beakley said, "Good. Take them to the foyer."

Lena replied, "Got it. Maybe Webby will know where Louie is."

Bentina turned and asked, "Can you return this to her when you ask her?" She hands Lena Webby's grappling hook. "She left it in the pantry again."

Lena takes the grappling hook and proceeds to the foyer.

Meanwhile in the foyer, Dewey and Webby were gathering cans of food while Launchpad, in his chauffeur attire, was getting wood to seal the windows.

A news report with Roxanne Featherly reporting the storm is heard on a small tv. "Here in Duckburg, life is like a hurricane. Local residents are battening down the hatches for the worst El Pato storm in decades."

Louie enters the foyers and tip-toed his way to the stairs, making sure no one sees him.

Dewey sees him and calls him. "Hey, Louie!"

Louie screamed, "What?!"

Webby asked, "Can you give us a hand with these cans?"

After a few seconds of silence, Dewey, Louie and Webby burst out laughing. After that Louie headed upstairs. When he reached the first part of the stairs, he bumps into Huey and Violet, who were holding their woodchuck guidebook.

Louie, frightened by Huey and Violet bumping into him, yelled "Nothing! I swear!"

He immediately covers it by saying, "I mean Hey, my favorite nerd birds of the Duckburg Six. Why don't you tell Dewey and Webby what nerdy thing you two are up to in great lengths."

Huey started "Well, ever since Vi told me she was a junior woodchuck…"

As Louie starts pushing Huey and Violet towards them, the hummingbird continued, "We've been working together on a comprehensible report on caveducks. This took months of research but we're almost done with our masterpiece."

Huey finished "And once we turn this report in, we'll be able to get an entry to the new edition of the Junior Woodchuck guidebook."

Dewey placed a hand on his brother's shoulder and said "My brother's gonna be a professional nerd."

Webby hugged Violet and shouted "So is my best friend/sister!"

Violet patted Webby's head and said "Thank you, Webbigail."

As this was going on, Louie slowly backed up and headed upstairs. A door is heard opening and Scrooge comes in with the canes he gathered, saying "We need to bring in all these valuable heirlooms from the garage before the storm hits."

Upon hearing that, Louie went back down a few steps and titled his body and asked "I'm sorry, valuable?"

Scrooge smiled "These are the famous canes of Clan McDuck. Going all the way back to our very earliest ancestors."

Louie groaned "Oh, sentimental value. Yuck. Anyway, I got important.. Um… stuff to take care of in my room. So… hmm"

As Louie headed back upstairs, Scrooge narrowed his eyes at him and said "That boy's up to something."

His thought is interrupted when he hears a loud bang. It was Launchpad, attempting to seal the windows, only to miss, horribly. He hammered in the frame and other boards.

Scrooge, not wanting Launchpad to cause anymore damage, asks him, "Launchpad, why don't you go and keep an eye on Louie, upstairs? Far away from here."

Launchpad happily accepts, "No problem, Mr. McD."

He throws the hammer over his shoulder and makes a hole in the window, which causes the entire window to shatter and a piece of the board to fall off, much to Scrooge's dismay.

Lena entered the foyer with the box and saw Dewey and Webby with the cans of food and Huey and Violet with their guidebooks. She set the box down and took out Webby's grappling hook from the box and said, "Hey, Pink. Your granny told me to return this to you." She handed Webby her grappling hook. "She said she found it in the pantry."

"I was wondering where I left it." said Webby as she put it in her toonspace.

Lena then asked "Have you guys seen Louie?

Dewey answered "He went upstairs."

Lena replied "Thanks." She then notices the can of chili that they were tossing. "What are you two doing by the way?

Webby answered "Granny told us to gather food that we won't get sick of."

Lena looked at a chili cheese bar, next to Dewey, and asked "You sure she said "won't get sick of" and not "won't get sick from?"

The pink duck commented "Well, that's what Dewey told me."

Webby handed a can to Dewey but dropped it. It rolled down the floor but was stopped but Beakley's heel.

Bentina picked up the can and read, "Mr. Chunky extra chunky chili chunks?"

"We could be stuck here for days. You said we should have plenty of food we won't get sick of." smiled Dewey as he and Webby gestured at the chili cheese bar.

Beakley sighed and said "I said "won't get sick from" and you know it."

Lena commented to the blue duck "Told ya."

Beakley continued "I doubt your mother would approve of the nutrition in them."

Lena smirked and pointed at something, "Think again, Mrs. B."

Beakley, not understanding what Lena meant, asked "Pardon?"

Chomping could be heard from behind her. She groaned and turned around with her arms crossed, staring down at Della, who was happily eating a chili dog.

Della looked at Bentina and said, "What? Chili cheese dogs put the "hurray!" in hurricane party! It's no big deal!"

The retired spy commented that, "Until we're on day 8 of nothing but chili cheese dogs and we all get scurvy…" Della held out the chili dog to her but she pushed it away, "...again."

Lena proceeds to head upstairs to find Louie, but not before taking a chili dog for herself.

The pilot duck said in a chilled tone, "Beakley, you gotta let kids be kids. Don't sweat the small stuff." She takes another bite of her chili dog.

Mrs. Beakley deadpanned at her and asked, "Is this your parenting strategy? Or something you read off a bumper sticker?"

"Honk if you're a great mom! Honk! Honk!" Della exclaimed before walking away, much to Beakley's dismay.

Meanwhile, as Louie entered his bedroom and shut the door, he didn't know that Launchpad was following him.

"Hey Louie! Wait up!" Launchpad yelled.

Launchpad entered the room but couldn't see any sign of Louie. He looked around the room and noticed an odd blue light coming from behind the Dewey Dew-Night Background stand-in.

"Louie?" Launchpad nervously asked.

He looks behind the stand-in and what he sees next surprises him. A flash of the same blue light appears and Louie remerges in Gyro's time tub with several treasures, including a gold crown, a scepter and a few rings, which he kisses.

Louie hears Launchpad gasp and says "Launchpad, I can explain!"

Launchpad then exclaimed, "you got your own tub?! Lucky!"

Louie was confused, "You're not angry about the fact that I have Gyro's time tub?"

Launchpad responded, "Is that what that is?"

Louie answered, "umm… yes?"

Launchpad replied to this, "Oh! That explains why the tub has a grandfather clock attached to it." He laughed a bit and realized something. "Wait a minute. What are you doing with Gyro's time tub?"

Louie sighed and answered, "Maybe I should show you what I'm doing."

Unbeknownst to them, Lena was approaching the boys' room and just finished her chili dog and complimented "Hmm. That's some good stuff right there."

In the boys' room, Launchpad is now sitting in the time tub with Louie as he is about to show Launchpad his latest and, as he puts it, "perfect" scheme.

Louie smiled, "Step into the future of treasure hunting: The Past."

Louie turned the knob and it made Louie and Launchpad go back in time. They both vanished and immediately after, Lena enters the bedroom.

Lena asked "Louie, can I talk to you just for a…" She looks to see that there's nobody in the room. "…second? I could've sworn I heard him in here." She looks around the bedroom one more time before deciding to leave, saying "Oh, well."

Caveduck Era:

The time tub takes Louie and Launchpad into a jungle set in the past and in a ruined cave in front a golden duck head.

Louie explained "Borrowing Gyro's timetub here, the key minds at Louie Incorporated can track down famous lost treasure at the exact moments before they were lost."

Launchpad asked, "And you've been taking treasures of various points in the past into the present?"

Louie answered "Yep. I even took one particular treasure from a time period that I'm gonna surprise Lena with later on tonight."

Just as Louie finished his sentence, a baby parasaurolophus came up to the tub and sniffs Louie, much to his annoyance.

Louie exclaimed, "Go on. Shoo." The baby dinosaur leaves.

Launchpad questioned "You mean Lena doesn't know?"

"Of course, Lena doesn't know. That's the point of it being a surprise." replied Louie just as the baby parasaurolophus came back and sniffs Louie again. "You are really starting to annoy me right now. Get out of here!" The parasaurolophus leaves once again.

Launchpad asked "But won't she get suspicious about where you got it from?"

Louie answered with confidence, "I'll just tell her that I got it from Uncle Scrooge's bin. What you don't know won't hurt'em."

The baby dinosaur came back again and sniffed an annoyed Louie. Louie, having had enough of the parasaurolophus, roared like a lion at the baby dino, scaring the parasaurolophus and Launchpad, and caused the former to run off. (1)

Louie calmed down and commented "I didn't want to have to resort to doing that, but it was really starting to become infuriating. Anyway back on to getting treasure from the past…"

Unbeknownst to the two from the present, a red-haired, muscular caveduck in a brown animal skin (a/n: I'm guessing) attire was approaching the same treasure.

"Oh. Bubba!" exclaimed the caveduck.

But just as the caveduck ran towards the stairs, he fell for a trap that involved a pit. Thankfully he grabbed onto a ledge to keep him from falling further.

"No risking time, resources, or- you know- our lives, navigating dangerous temples, filled with curses and booby traps like this poor fellow." Louie explained, picking up the artifact and jabbed his thumb to the direction of the caveduck.

The caveduck in question managed to climb up to the edge and grabbed a rope. But the rope was attached to a falling boulder, which he swiftly dodged.

Louie continued to explain "And because these treasures were never found, taking them doesn't affect the time stream. Just-" He makes a little quack noise, still smiling "-to the past! Just take the artifact-"

He turns the knob once more, making them travel back to their time, not realizing that the caveduck, who just came up the stairs, was brought along by accident in a blast from the time tub.

Triplet's bedroom in McDuck Manor:

The timetub landed back into the boys' room as Louie and Launchpad hopped out as he finished his sentence "-and return home a little bit richer!"

The evil triplet walked over to a pile of treasure that was hiding behind another board and threw the artifact on top.

"Time Treasure! A subside of Louie, Inc! It's not a crime, if it's lost in time." Louie finished as he walked back to the tub. "Any questions?"

He looked up at Launchpad with pride, before it turned into a confused stare, now seeing Launchpad with a rubber duck and shower cap on.

"Keeping in mind again that this is not a real tub and cannot be used for bubble baths." Louie stated, raising a brow as Launchpad quickly put the rubber duck back into his jacket and taking off the shower cap.

Foyer:

Meanwhile, back in the foyer, Huey and Violet were continuing on their caveduck report and Dewey and Webby were continuing to gather chili cans.

Huey wrote down and explained to Violet, "And so the simple caveduck gave way to more advanced methods of surviving."

Violet complimented Huey, "You really know a lot about caveducks, Hubert."

"Well, I have learned a lot from the library, like you have. And you translate caveduck drawings very nicely." Huey complimented back to Violet, making her blush.

Suddenly, there was a huge zap outside the front door, gathering everyone's attention.

"What in the world?" said Violet.

"What was that?" asked Webby

Dewey ran up to one of the side windows. "I think I see something out there. Let's check it out!" said the blue duck triplet as He, Huey, Webby and Violet ran out the door.

"Come back! The storm is starting!" yelled Mrs. Beakley.

Della walked up to Beakley, relaxed about the kids running out the door, thinking they'll immediately come back in. "What are they gonna find out there? A little rain? Some debris?" Della asked Beakley, who is irritated that Della isn't taking parenting seriously.

Suddenly, Dewey yelled "Hey, Cool! A dead guy!" This shocked Della and Beakley.

This "dead guy" that the Duckburg Six (sans Louie and Lena) see outside turned out to be the caveduck from the time period that Louie and Launchpad were in, who was also unconscious. The three ducks and hummingbird carried the caveduck into the house where they, along with Scrooge, Della and Beakley took a good look at him.

Scrooge broke the silence "What in Damsel Down is this?"

Violet examined the caveduck "He doesn't look dead. I think it's a he."

Dewey told Violet "Poke him to see how he reacts."

Violet refused "No! He might punch me. You poke him."

Webby noticed the caveduck stirring and said "Wait. No. Look, he's moving."

The caveduck comes to and quickly gets up, causing everyone to gasp. The caveduck, frightened by what's around him, climbs onto the stairs.

Huey is in awe about what he is seeing "A caveduck…"

Violet was just as amazed as Huey "Newton's Apple, I can't believe what I'm seeing."

Webby found the caveduck cute and said "Aww… Hey little guy."

The caveduck comes down and sniffs the kids.

Della asked "Where did this guy come from?"

Dewey came up with a conclusion "Ooh, maybe he was frozen on an iceberg…"

"…and then the iceberg melted and he was washed ashore with the storm!" finished Webby.

Violet agreed, "That is a strong possibility, Webbigail."

Scrooge scoffed at the idea "Yeah, pffft… frozen in an iceberg. Preposterous!" despite one little detail.

"It happened to you twice." Webby pointed out, causing Scrooge to shrug.

Huey looked at Violet and said "Violet, do you realize what this is? It's a real… live… CAVEDUCK!" He yells the last word to Violet's face in excitement, much to her annoyance.

The hummingbird reminded him, "Yes, Hubert, I can clearly see that."

Huey added "Violet, He could be like what we've researched."

Violet, not getting what Huey means, gave him a confused look and asked "What are you getting at, Huey?"

Huey proposed his idea as the caveduck scratched himself and sniffed his armpit "He could prove our report is accurate to the Junior Woodchuck Council and guarantee our entry gets in the new guidebook!"

Della supported his older son's idea, saying "Great!"

Violet, on the other hand, was a little hesitant about the idea and said "Hubert, maybe we should think about this for a second before actually doing that. We don't know if this caveduck was actually frozen or if he's possibly, and maybe unlikely, from a different time period."

Beakley agreed with the hummingbird's opinion, "She has a point, Huey. Something like that could possibly disrupt all of time."

Della smiled and said in contrast, "Aww... But it's one little caveduck."

Beakley sternly told Della "Small problems can turn into big problems if not prevented early. Step on a butterfly in the past…"

"Dude! Why would you step on a butterfly? That's sick, lady. Sick!" Della interrupts, disgusted.

Mrs. Beakley tried to get her point across, "It's a hypothetical situation."

Only for Della to reply "Good! Keep it that way." She turned her attention back to the kids and caveduck "Kids, take him to the T.V. room before the butterfly basher here gets to him."

Beakley protested "No, no! I…" Only to get interrupted by a burst of thunder that startles them.

"We'll deal with these crisis in order of importance. Strange storm first, caveduck second." Scrooge says.

Huey, Dewey and Webby cheered as they, along with a still hesitant Violet and Bubba, who was pushed by Dewey, went to the T.V. room as Huey shouted "History's alive!"

The Screening Room:

In the screening room, Huey and Violet, who decided to give studying the caveduck a try, were using the couch cushion and a blanket to set up a "cave" for the caveduck, while Webby was happily watching on top and Dewey was eating one of his chili dogs. The caveduck looked at the "cave" and became confused.

Huey explained as he got out his woodchuck guidebook from his hat, "We made this shelter based on cave painting from your time. We couldn't find any mastodon fur, so we improvised. Just like home, huh?"

The caveduck grunted at the shelter.

"I don't think he likes it, Hubert." Violet pointed out.

Huey sighs "You're right, Vi." He writes down in his guidebook. "Cozy blankets are no substitute for mastodon fur."

Bubba takes his hat and puts it on his head.

Huey yelled "Hey!"

Webby laughed "He's got a hat like a person!"

Violet said "Webbigail, please. This is serious."

Dewey shook his head and agreed, "She's right, Webby." He took the hat and turned it backward. "That's better." He then started to make horn noises as the caveduck bounced up and down smiling.

Violet facepalmed and muttered "Unbelievable."

"Duckuslopithecus is not a joke! He doesn't understand your funky fresh way." Huey said as he did some weird movement with his hip. "I've reconstructed some rudimentary cave Duck language." Huey started to make a bunch of grunt noises.

Violet couldn't help but giggle a little at Huey and thought to herself "The way he uses that brain of his is just so attractive."

Bubba smiled at Huey and began to speak "Ba, Ba. Bubba! Bubba!"

Violet was confused as she got out her own woodchuck guidebook. "Bubba? Is that supposed to be a new language?"

Webby jumped down from the couch cushions and said "Maybe Bubba is his name. Hi, I'm Webba. This is Huuba, Dewba and Vubba."

Violet deadpanned at Webby "Vubba?"

Webby replied "It was all I could think of."

Huey scoffed "That's ridiculous. He can't understand modern language, Webby." He takes out something from his toonspace. "I'll offer him some tree bark and leaves as a peace offering."

Bubba sniffed the tree barks and leaves and then moved away in disgust. He looked at Dewey's chili cheese dog and ate it, much to Huey's dismay. He knocked over the fort, which knocked the kids over.

Bubba stood up, licking his lips "Hmm! Bubba grubba!" He then runs out the t.v. room.

The kids stood up as well and chased after him as an annoyed Huey yelled "This can't be happening, right now!"

Violet agreed "Caveducks do not eat cheese dogs!"

Dewey smiled "They do now!"

Webby excitedly yelled "Man, I am learning so much!"

The kids followed Bubba upstairs in the foyer as Huey yelled "Here! Here! At least, try the bark!"

As soon as they were gone, Louie poked his head out and looked around to see if anyone was there. When the coast was clear, he signalled Launchpad to come downstairs.

As Louie went down the stairs he said "The problem with being this successful is finding enough closets to hide your loot." and let out a chuckle.

Launchpad followed Louie, holding a treasure chest and asked "So we're not doing anything wrong, because we're finding Lost Treasures… But before they were lost, so we're finding Found Treasures? Is that… stealing?"

As Launchpad made it downstairs and set it down next to the curtain, Louie stated "First of all, those pirates never reclaimed their treasure! And also- They were Pirates!" He hugged the treasure chest. "Doesn't it just break your heart thinking of all this treasure? Alone, on the ground?" Unloved?"

"So it's kinda like we're saving it?" asked Launchpad, still a little suspicious about the whole thing.

"It is exactly like that!" Louie stated as Launchpad opened the curtain, allowing Louie to push the chest into the little closet.

Launchpad asked "Aren't you worried about what everyone else will think when they find out we brought treasure from the past?"

Louie answered "No one is going to find out where they came from, Launchpad! I have planned for every possibility! There is no way that Time Treasure, a subsidiary of Louie INC- has any side effects whatsoever!"

What Louie was wrong with he was gonna see next, especially when, outside the mansion, a strange blue lightning bolt was appearing in the thunder clouds.

Back inside, Launchpad asked Louie out of curiosity, "So were there any other lost treasures that you found but decided were not worth getting to?"

Louie remembered something from that and answered "Well, there was, at one point, a bunch of gold nuts I found during an ice age in another universe, even though I'm not that big on nuts. But I had an unfortunate run in with a squirrel with long teeth."

Flashback: Ice Age Universe:

That squirrel in question was none other than the sabre-tooth squirrel, Scrat, who was on his usual acorn hunt.

Scrat found a bunch of gold acorns stuck on a glacier, and he attempted to pull them out. But then someone yelled "NO!" and scared Scrat.

It was Louie who spoke, dressed in his winter gear, standing on the glacier, just above Scrat and the gold nuts.

Louie continued scolding the squirrel, "No! Bad squirrel! Those are my nuts!" Scrats gets closer and Louie continues, "MY nuts!"

Louie seemingly softened at Scrat and said, "Aw, you're just a hungry little fella, aren't you?" Scrat smiled, thinking he was gonna let him have the acorns, until Louie said this, "But those are my nuts."

This pissed off Scrat and he climbed up the edge of the ice and started to attack Louie.

Louie screamed and yelled, "Oh god! No! Stop! Not the face! NOT THE FACE!" (2)

Flashback ends

Present:

Louie finished the explanation, "I decided to just forget the gold nuts after that and return to the present."

Louie and Launchpad started to head back upstairs, but then suddenly, Lena walked by and Louie jumped when he saw her.

"Hey, there you are." Lena said to Louie.

Louie greeted Lena in an awkward way "Lena. Uh, hey there. I'm just, uh… standing here… with Launchpad. Not doing anything suspicious whatsoever."

Lena was confused by Louie acting this way but brushed it off and said "Uhh… I can see that. Listen, I need to talk to you about something."

Launchpad asked "Do you think she already knows about…" Louie elbows him to keep him from revealing his secret.

"Know about what?" asked Lena confused by what Launchpad was saying.

Louie answered "Nothing. Nothing important. What did you want to talk about?"

Lena began "Well, I wanted to talk to you about…"

Suddenly Bubba, now wearing sunglasses, jumped down the stairs on a skateboard, scaring Louie, Lena and Launchpad.

Lena exclaimed "What the…?"

The other kids come downstairs after the caveduck.

Huey yelled "Stop! He shouldn't be exposed to wheels for another 10,000 years!"

Violet agreed "And they're not even made of stone!"

Dewey saw Louie and Lena and told them "Louie, Lena! We got a new brother! He's a caveduck and his name is Bubba!"

Lena was dumbfounded by what Dewey just said "A what?!"

"I'm sorry, what's this now?" Louie asked, trying to make sure he heard correctly.

Dewey asked them before singing a really REALLY short tune "Wanna hear his theme song? "A-bubba, Bubba." That's all I got."

Lena pointed out "That's more like a jingle than a theme song."

Dewey justified "I'm still working on the lyrics."

As Huey, Webby and Violet chased after Bubba, the caveduck pulled a skateboard trick where he was skating upside down.

Dewey was impressed "WOW! Max would definitely like you!"

The caveduck skated right into the chili cheese dog stand and hit the wall, causing a painting to fall into the pile. He puts his head through the painting.

"Whoa! Bubba… Flubba?" was the caveduck could say, but it seemed to make Dewey happy.

"Ooh, that's good! Lyrical genius this guy!" Dewey stated.

As Bubba walked with the painting still on him, Webby laughed at his silliness. Huey was getting irritated at the caveduck, but Violet placed her hand on him, calming him down. Scrooge, Della and Beakley walked into the foyer, seeing this.

"Della, clearly you can see there's a problem here?" Beakley stated as Della put her hands on her hips.

Della began to firmly state "Kids…" only to say this "…if you're gonna let him skateboard in the house, he should be wearing a helmet! Problem solved- good parenting, Della." She high-fived herself, much to Scrooge and Beakley's dismay.

As Webby held the painting, Dewey pulled Bubba off of it, causing the caveduck to land right in front of Louie and Lena.

Bubba gasped upon seeing Louie and yelled "Bubba Tubba! Bubba Tubba!" making Louie realize that Bubba recognized him and Launchpad.

He turned to see the rest of family looking at him suspiciously, except Webby who curiously asked "Ooh, what does 'Tubba' mean?"

"Oh, nothing! Just caveduck nonsense!" Louie nervously laughed before glancing at the caveduck, slight glaring. "Shut up-ba, man-"

The caveduck ran toward Dewey and Webby again as Launchpad grabbed Louie and ran into the closet.

Lena was confused by what was going on and asked "Louie, why was that guy saying 'Tubba' to…" She turned, only to see Louie and Launchpad were gone, causing her to silently groan. She walked toward Webby and asked her "What did you guys say this was?"

Webby happily answered "He's a caveduck. He's really cute. Huey and Violet are studying him to see if he's accurate to their report."

Bubba approaches Webby and Lena as the pink introduced the latter to the former, "Bubba, this is one of my other best friends, Lubba!"

Lena became confused "Lubba?"

Webby tells her "It's a caveduck name I said for you, so he would know who you are."

Lena spoke again, "Ok, that's a little understandable. But didn't it strike any of you guys as odd that this Bubba was calling Louie "Tubba" when he saw him? It's like he knows Louie some… "

She stops when she feels someone breathing on her, she turns around to see it's just Bubba. He smiles, showing his teeth, which are surprisingly clean.

Lena nervously greeted the caveduck "Uh, hi there. Really nice to meet you." Bubba grabbed Lena's arm. "Yes, that's my arm." Bubba put Lena's arm on his head as she sarcastically remarked "Oh, that's sweet." (3)

In the closet, Launchpad began to panic and asked "If the caveduck is here, are we in the past?!" He began to breathe heavily.

Louie calmed the pilot down and said "Don't think about it too hard, okay? It's one little caveduck. This will have no effect on the timeline. Probably."

The two exited the closet and rejoined the group as Beakley picked up the skateboard. They saw Webby looking at her phone with a confused look on her face.

Webby tells the family, "Uh… guys?" The family turned their heads at Webby as she told them. "The clock on my phone is changing." She shows them her phone and the clock is indeed changing numbers rapidly going from 9:00 to 1:55 to 7:30 to 2:20 to 12:00. Webby looked at her phone again and asked "Is my phone broken or something?"

Lena hears what sounds like cogs in a clock turning and sees where it's coming from. But upon doing so, her eyes widened in shock.

Lena turned Webby's head and told her "I don't think so, Pink." making Webby's eyes widen in shock as well.

The rest of the family turned to see what they're seeing and like them, their eyes widened at what they're seeing. The hands on the grandfather clock were spinning rapidly and sounding its chime. Scrooge got out his pocket watch and opened it but much to his shock, the watch exploded.

Outside the mansion, A blue lightning loudly crashed onto Donald's house boat and suddenly pirates were on the boat. One of them used his cannon, which they brought with them, and shot one right through the window and it landed right in the middle of the foyer, making Huey and Lena pull Violet and Webby away from where the metal ball was landing, respectively, and the rest jump out of the way.

Huey worriedly asked Violet "Are you ok?"

Violet assured him "Yeah. I'm fine." and smiled at him.

As everyone else got up, Launchpad smiled and pointed out "Hey, it's those pirates."

Louie began to worry and said "Ok. It might have a tiny effect on the timeline."

The Screening Room:

Not too much later, Scrooge, Della, Louie, Lena and Beakley were now in the T.V. room, where they see another news report with Roxanne giving an update on the storm as they prepare to Discuss the issue.

Roxanne stated "The El Pato storm has merged with a terrifying time vortex that local reporters are calling it A TIMEPHOON!" The reporter showed an image of a tornado with clocks with bent hands around it and the word TIMEPHOON?! and the report showed the storm centering itself at McDuck Manor. "The timephoon has unsurprisingly localised itself above McDuck Manor." The storm blows a carriage with a dog hanging onto his horse. "For more, we go to our guest weatherman…" She stopped when the camera pans down at an old duck with grey hair and small glasses "Benjamin Frankloon?"

Benjamin Frankloon began to speak "As history's foremost meteorologist…" He gets close to the camera and panics "WHAT THE DEVIL IS THIS BOX?! IS IT STEALING MY SOUL?!" He throws the camera down and cracks the lens. "Back to you, Roxanne."

Scrooge turned off the tv and told everyone "We need to find the cause of this timephoon. Did anyone touch a cursed artifact? Make some type of improperly warded wish? Or piss off the TVA?"

Della, Louie and Lena looked at each other in confusion and asked "The what?"

Scrooge answered "The Time Variance Authority?"

They're still confused and asked "Come again?"

Scrooge got irritated and said "Look, they're a bunch of time keepers who don't like me and Donald." (4)

"SHUSH Chrono Protocols suggest that someone is tampering with the timestream at specific points. But who? And how?" Bentina stated as Scrooge brought in a whiteboard to draw up ideas. But what he didn't see was a drawing Bubba made of him, Louie, Launchpad and the time tub as well as a dinosaur.

Louie saw the drawing and gulped.

He got up onto the ottoman and erased the drawing before anyone else could see it as he spoke, "Well- This could be any of the time shenanigans we dealt with lately. Why assign blame?"

This made Lena give a confused look at Louie as she quietly thought to herself "What's gotten into Louie?"

Della agreed with his youngest son, "Louie's right. It's not like we haven't faced pirates before."

"Lena, before Magica created you, has she ever time travelled to certain points in Scrooge's life to take him down?" Beakley asked the pink-haired teen as Scrooge moved Louie off the ottoman.

Lena scoffed at the idea that Magica was behind this "If she did, I probably wouldn't be here. Besides, her magic doesn't work on time travel. Webby and I tried it. It didn't end well."

Della curiously asked "How bad did it turn out?"

Lena sheepishly explained "Well…"

Flashback:

In Lena's bedroom, She and Webby were attempting to experiment her magic on time travel and see where it went from there.

Lena stated "Ok. I normally don't like to use magic but this seems like a good way to experiment on what else my former aunt's magic can do. Are you ready, Pink?"

"Ready when you are, BFF!" Webby answered with excitement"

"Ok, here we go." said Lena as her hands began to glow.

She formed a magic circle around her and Webby and then the circle turned into a sphere around them and it seemed to go well but then everything stopped and they looked to see that the sphere around them turned into a tiny little speck, much to their confusion.

Webby asked "Is it supposed to do that?"

Lena answered "I don't know, Webby."

Lena attempted to touch it but the speck ended up causing an explosion that blew up part of the mansion and sent Webby and Lena flying out of the mansion. They landed in the front yard and got burnt from the explosion, stunned by what just happened.

Webby spoke "Well, I guess we can cross time travel off the list." They looked up to see part of the mansion destroyed by the explosion. "What should we tell Uncle Scrooge when he sees this?"

Flashback ends

Present:

Scrooge is clearly angry about what happened to his house that day upon realizing how it happened "That explains what made that hole in my house." Lena nervously grinned. "Anyway, back onto the issue regarding the timephoon."

As Louie sat back down on the couch, Della patted his head.

Scrooge began drawing out the situation as he explained "Each new arrival adds to the rift. The more contemptible continuum crashes arrive, the worse the storm gets!"

"So what you're saying is we have to stop these small problems now so they don't get out of hand and cause big problems later." Beakley stated in obvious criticism of Della.

"I see how you turned this into a lesson on parenting and I am impressed." Della pointed out, not getting the point.

Louie and Lena were confused by what Beakley said as Lena commented "Sensing some missing context, here."

Beakley explained "The kids brought in the caveduck you saw earlier and I mentioned to Della that it could be a small problem that could cause a big problem, which Della brushed off."

Della defended "Oh, come on. It's not like a caveduck could cause a time-vortex storm."

"Perhaps Gyro has some Time Tech left that will help us identify what's causing this." Scrooge pondered.

"I love where your head's at, Uncle Scrooge. Oh- Too bad we can't go to him. You know, because of the storm." Louie points out, not wanting to get caught.

Lena deadpanned at Louie and reminded him "Louie, we have phones. We can just call him."

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning crashed into the mansion through the windows and to everyone's shock, Gyro appeared and dropped to the ground.

"Or we could just wait for him to show up out of nowhere and tell us what's going on." Lena stated.

Gyro got up on knees and grabbed Scrooge's coat, exclaiming "SOMEONE STOLE MY TIME TUB AND DESTROYED TIME AND SPACE!"

"Oh boy…" Louie said, realizing he was in for it.

Hallways:

As Huey, Dewey, Webby and Violet searched for Bubba, Huey was growing increasingly frustrated with how advanced Bubba is.

"Where did he go?" Huey asked and then continued to use his caveduck call "Oh! Oh! Ogga! Ogga!"

Dewey points out to Huey "I don't think he speaks your made up caveman language."

"It may actually be a little offensive." Webby added.

"Well, it may depend on what or how the caveduck prefers to speak." Violet ponders.

"HE is offensive to the field of anthropology! He doesn't act at all like the caveducks we researched!" Huey exclaimed, still growing frustrated.

"Calm down, Huey. This caveduck is probably just from a different time period. He might not even be a caveduck not at all." Violet consoled the red duck, knowing how anxious he could get.

Huey calmed down and said "You're right, Violet. I guess I was stressing myself out over this caveduck that I didn't consider whether or not it actually is one."

Dewey, however, said something without realizing he was gonna make it worse "No offense, you guys, but maybe…" Webby tried to get Dewey to stop, but he didn't notice. "...and hear me out here. Um… your research is… wrong? Don't hurt me!"

Violet was a little offended at what Dewey just said "Excuse me, but I would know if my research is wrong."

The hummingbird then heard Huey starting to laugh like a maniac.

Violet groaned and glared at Dewey, "Great. Look what you did!"

Huey stopped laughing and exclaimed "My research?! Wrong?! No,no, no, no, no, no, no. The caveduck is wrong! He understands modern language, has mastered the wheel, and enjoys processed meats?! HE'S FAR TOO ADVANCED!"

The conversation is interrupted by Bubba jumping a knight that just fell to the ground as he played a solid melody on the keytar and then slid on his knees across the hallways. Huey put his woodchuck guidebook in his mouth in even more anger and frustration and Violet was starting to grow a little agitated herself, though trying to remain calm.

Webby agreed with what Huey said "Advanced is right! Did you see his finger progression on that solo? This is your chance to find out the real truth! Isn't that what the Junior Woodchucks are all about?"

Violet answered "Well Yes, Webbigail, but…"

Huey interrupted "FINE! I'm gonna observe him so hard. Come here, you historical abomination!"

While Dewey and Webby looked at him with proud looks, Violet wore a worried expression saying "Oh, dear."

The Screening Room:

Scrooge, Della, Louie, Lena and Beakley stood around Gyro, waiting for his explanation.

"Start from the beginning." Scrooge ordered.

Gyro explained "Ok. I was in my lab, definitely not cloning an army, when there was a sudden flash. I turned around and my time tub was gone! I was caught in the after-blast!"

"That's a thing?!" Louie exclaimed, making everyone look at Louie. He put his hood over head. "I mean, go on."

Gyro finished his explanation, "...and hurdled through time and space to this VERY moment!"

"And then the thief disappeared into the timestream! He could be anywhen! We'll never find him!" said Louie, trying to cover up his involvement.

Gyro suggested "The thief must be bringing items from the past here. That's why the storm is dumping people from those time periods on your doorstep. The timetub and the thief are in this house!"

Everyone, except Louie, looked at Gyro suspiciously.

"It's not me. I just got here." Gyro assured them.

Scrooge stated "Said the clone."

Nobody noticed Louie sneaking away from the group and out of the screening room.

Foyer:

He ran upstairs and past Launchpad, who was carrying a big green tiger statue.

Louie panicked and told Launchpad "Every treasure brought something back with it! We have to put it all back!"

The Screening Room:

"So we need to find a master thief capable of breaking into the lab and the mansion." Della said.

"It's one of the kids." Scrooge immediately answered like it was a no-brainer.

Beakley agreed as she started to leave "Absolutely. I'll get Dewey."

"What? That's ridiculous!" Della protested.

Lena tried to reason with them "Mrs. B, I hardly think Dewey would know how to use the time tub. And I already told you that me and Webby try to use my magic to time travel. And Huey, Violet and Louie would be smart enough not to…" Mentioning Louie made her remember how odd Louie was acting and it made her realize… "Son of a bitch!"

She ran out the t.v. room to find and confront Louie.

Scrooge calls out to Lena "Lass, where are you going?"

Beakley suggested "I think she has an idea of who's causing this."

But before they could follow Lena, another lightning bolt appeared and brought a ninja into the room. He hopped onto the couch, startling Gyro before climbing into the rafters.

"Ninjas! Worse than termites! Cannot ever get them out of the rafters." Scrooge said before he ran off. "I'll spook him down!"

Della and Beakely waited for the ninja to appear.

Della argued about one of the kids being the cause of the timephoon "The kids couldn't have done this."

The ninja dropped down from the rafters, about to attack Gyro, only for Beakley to toss him aside.

"I'm sure they didn't mean to." Beakley said as she and Della got ready to fight after the ninja disappeared.

The ninja used one of his smoke bombs to reappear behind them and got out his katana to attack them, only for Della to kick him away.

"I'm sorry I don't yell at them for every little thing but they're good kids!" Della argued as she and Beakley ran out of the screening room after the ninja. The ninja throws a kunais at the pilot duck, causing the retired spy to pull her out of the way.

"Even good kids do dumb things, and we have to make sure those dumb things don't turn into bad things, like destroying all of existence!" Beakley explained as they fought off the ninja with Della kicking the ninja away again, making the ninja use another smoke bomb to disappear and leave behind a log.

Della looked for the ninja, only for the ninja to reappear and attack Della. As Della dodged his attack, Beakley positioned herself next to the fireplace and whistled for her. Della realized what she was indicating and waited for the ninja to get close to her. As the ninja got close enough, she kicked him into the fireplace as Beakley pressed the Santa Trap button in it. This made the ninja climb up the chimney and escape.

Beakley continued explaining "And if one of your kids were the ones behind this, you may have to punish them."

Della was flabbergasted, remembering what Donald said, "Punish them?! I'm not gonna punish them!"

Beakley lectured "Della, now that you've accepted your role as a mother, you need to start acting like a mother. That means discipling the boys whenever they step out of line, and showing tough love every now and then…"

Della interrupted "And what? Ruin my relationship with my boys like Donald told you?"

Beakley was shocked to hear that and asked "How did you know about…" Only for another lightning bolt to interrupt them.

Scrooge came in and told them, "There are Spanish freedom fighters on the roof!"

Beakley asked "Are you certain?"

They heard the freedom fighters shout "Vive la revolution!"

Scrooge corrected "Oh, no. They may be French."

Louie was helping Launchpad lift the green statue up the stairs but he saw Scrooge, Della and Beakley running upstairs to deal with the Spanish (or French) freedom fighters. He hid himself, Launchpad and the statue from them with a nearby curtain as they ran past them.

Louie came out of the curtain "Whew. That was close."

Louie then saw Huey and Violet placing chili cheese dogs on the steps for Bubba.

They saw Louie giving them a confused look and all three said simultaneously "Don't ask."

As soon as the two junior woodchucks were gone, Louie pulled the curtain off Launchpad, who fell asleep.

Louie woke up Launchpad and told him "We have to put back all the treasures before anyone knows it was us!"

Launchpad asked "But if we put things back in the past, doesn't that mean we've already done it in the present?" He then spotted the chili dogs on the steps and picked one up "Did I leave this chili cheese dog for myself because I knew I'd be hungry?"

As Launchpad ate the chili cheese dog he had, Louie groaned "Ugh, move!"

Launchpad gave a thumbs up and said "Thank you, past and/or future me!"

Hallways:

Louie further explained "We can't let anyone find out about this! Especially Mom and Lena! Mom would likely disown me and Lena would break off our friendship and never trust me again! We have to get this stuff into our bedroom."

However, Lena walked right in front of them and exclaimed "Louie!"

Louie shouted "Oh crap!" But immediately covered it up by saying "I mean, hi Lena."

"I'll get right to the point." Lena stated.

Louie asked "What happened? Did you lose your phone? I'll let you use mine."

Lena asked him "What are you hiding?"

Louie answered "Hiding?! I'm not hiding anything! I wouldn't be hiding anything and sneaking around like a…" He saw something on the ceiling and pointed "NINJA!"

Lena turned around and they saw the same ninja that attacked Della and Beakley about to attack them, only for Lena to blast it away with her magic. Louie and Lena got out their khopesh and diamond dagger respectively as the ninja engaged in a sword battle.

"I know you had something to do with the timephoon!" Lena argued as they fought the ninja off.

Louie said in defense "What? That's ridiculous!"

As the two argued, the ninja threw his ninja star at them, only for Louie to dodge it with his sword, shooting it back at the ninja.

Lena told him "You've been acting weird ever since the storm started and the caveduck that Huey and Violet were studying somehow knows you since he called you Tubba!" She used her magic to lift Louie to dodge the ninja's thrown katana and had Louie drop kick the ninja.

As Louie grabbed the ninja's foot and tossed him through the hallway, he protested "Caveducks say a lot of stupid things!"

As the two dodge the ninja's attacks, Lena saw an open window and yelled "Louie! The window!"

Louie got what Lena was talking about and waited for the ninja to appear. The ninja appeared from behind Louie and got out his nunchuck to hit him, only for Louie to grab the weapon and wrap it around his leg. He threw the ninja towards Lena and she blasted him out the window with her magic.

Lena looked out the window and said "Well, he's gone for now." She closed the window so he wouldn't get back in and turned back around to look at Louie "Louie, I want you to tell me…" But she finds out that Louie left and groans "Oh, for crying out loud!" She starts to find Louie again.

Foyer:

Bubba followed and ate every chili cheese dog that Huey and Violet placed on the stairs and got excited when he saw a big pile of chili cheese dogs which he happily dove into and started eating them. Unbeknownst to him, Huey, Dewey, Webby and Violet are examining him from behind one of the closets.

Huey wrote down in his book and said "Ok. Duckuslopithecus seems to prefer the vegetarian chili, suggesting a preference for foraging over hunting. What do you make of this, Violet?"

Violet suggested "It could be possible that he would hunt, only as a last resort. Plus, he can't eat the entire pile of chili dogs in seconds. His stomach would not be able to handle that much."

Violet is instantly proven wrong when they see that Bubba did indeed finish the pile of chili dogs as the caveduck, laying down on the floor, burped out a half-eaten chili cheese dog, which fell right back into his mouth.

Bubba patted his stomach and said "Bubba Chubba."

Huey and Violet said "I hate this." at the same time.

However they heard something bump. They came out of the closet to see that it was coming from the front door.

Webby asked "What's out there? A Roman phalanx?"

Huey suggested "A hoard of huns?"

Violet pondered "A two-headed dragon?"

The door burst and broke open; it is revealed to be a red triceratops, which roared, making Dewey and Webby cringed and Huey and Violet jump.

Dewey said with a chilled expression "Oh, it's just a dinosaur."

Violet nervously stated "A triceratops, to be exact."

"Well, Bubba's a caveduck, he can protect us from the carnivore." The blue duck assumed.

Violet corrected "Triceratops are herbivores but they are still fierce creatures that can attack with their horns."

Huey added "And it's impossible for caveduck to fight dinosaurs. Dinosaurs lived millions of years before caveducks."

To their shock, Bubba was now riding the dinosaur like it was a bull, much to the caveduck's enjoyment.

Violet groaned "Are you kidding me?"

Huey also groaned as he wrote in his guidebook "And he's riding it. Great."

As the caveduck continued to ride the triceratops, Scrooge, Della, Beakley and Gyro came downstairs and saw what was going on.

Della started to panic "Ok, I admit, this is a big problem! How do we stop it, Mrs. B?"

Beakley began to give an idea "Well, first we should…" But she yelped as she felt a lightning bolt hit her.

And then to everyone's horror, the blast knocked Della off the stairs and Beakley disappeared.

As Della got back up, she gasped and yelled "Mrs. B!"

"Beakley!/Granny!" Scrooge, Huey, Dewey and Violet shouted the former while Webby shouted the latter.

Bubba took off his sunglasses and said "Bubba Trubba." knowing that things were going bad.

Hallways:

Louie poked his head to see Launchpad carry what was left of the treasure.

"Is that the rest of them?" Louie asked.

Launchpad answered "Yep. This is all that's left."

Louie told him "Good. Now take it to my room so we can put them back."

But as soon as Launchpad was gone and before Louie could follow him, Magic smoke stopped him from moving forward and Lena appeared in front of him with an angry look on her face.

Louie jumped and shouted "Ahh! Lena!"

Lena asked him "What's going on, Louie?"

Louie quickly answered "Nothing!" as he tried to leave, only for Lena to block him.

Lena questioned "Well then, what was all that stuff you and Launchpad were holding? Because they don't look like they came out of Uncle Scrooge's office or bin!"

"You know Launchpad, he does a lot of crazy stuff! He's probably just in that mole monster or ice fever phase again." Louie justified.

Louie managed to get through but Lena grabbed him by his hood and told him "Louie, there is a serious crisis on our hands! People from the past are coming into the present through this storm, someone has Gryo's time tub, and that Bubba caveduck, or whatever his name is, somehow recognizes you and you can't tell me how! I hardly think this is called nothing!"

Louie was now frustrated as he turned his head and shouted "Hey! Listen, I'm trying to return all the treasure that I stole from using the time tub that I took from Gyro and If anyone finds out that it was me who started all this, then I'm gonna be in serious trouble! Now let go of my hood!"

"What?" asked Lena, shocked and horrified at what she just heard with her eyes became as wide as dinner plates.

Louie shouted "Let go!" as he pulled away from Lena's grip. (5)

Louie instantly realized what he just told her and turned around to see a face of shock and horror coming from one of the two people he didn't want to find out about his scheme, the other being Della.

Lena couldn't believe what she heard. Her own friend was the cause of this. Even after they encouraged him not to give up his dreams, he still used a lazy and reckless way to get rich. "You… you did this?"

Louie tried to justify "Lena, I know this looks bad but…"

Lena was now livid at Louie not realizing how serious this was and shouted "Looks bad?! LOOKS BAD?! THIS IS A COMPLETE DISASTER!" Louie cringed from hearing Lena yell. "Do you have any idea what you've caused?! Do you realize what this is doing to our time period?! Now historic figures are being blasted here and for all we know, people from the present could be getting blasted into the pa…" Before Lena could finish, a lightning bolt came into the house and blasted Lena and she disappeared, screaming in horror.

Louie was horrified at what just transpired. Lena just disappeared, right in front of him, just like how she did in the shadow war when Magica killed her. But this time, she disappeared because of his own doing.

Louie looked at the spot where Lena was, calling "Lena? LENA?!" He realized that she was zapped into the time vortex in the storm "Oh god, what have I done?! I have to get her back! I GOTTA FIX THIS MESS FAST!"

French voice: Meanwhile in other universes…

Ice Age universe:

It was dark and rainy in this universe and Scrat was now doing his usual looking for a place for his acorn. He was climbing up a tree with his acorn on his head but was struggling a little. When he tried to climb too fast, the acorn fell off his head but he managed to catch it with his teeth.

Once he reached the top of the tree, he pushed his acorn into a small hollow space, and climbed onto it himself. He picked up his acorn, he checked the top of the tree with his foot. He felt a part of it that can be used for his acorn. But just as he was about to press it in, a flash of light came in and Scrat disappeared, along with his acorn.

Seymour's Bay, Belcher Residence/Bob's Burgers restaurant:

In the Belcher's house on a rainy day as well, Bob was trying to close a window in the kitchen that was stuck, while his wife, Linda, and youngest daughter, Louise, were present.

"Bob, why don't we just call Teddy? I'm sure he can find a way to fix the window." Linda suggested.

Bob protested "Linda, it just has a bolt lodged into the side. It's very…" He struggled to pull the bolt out "...easy to pull."

Louise remarked "Oh yeah. It's very easy to pull with how you're doing."

"Thank you for pointing that out, Louise." Bob said sarcastically.

Linda left and said "I'm gonna go check the other kids' rooms and see if their windows are closed."

"Dad, why don't you just put some grease on it and lit it on fire." Louise suggested.

Bob perked at the idea "I guess I could try to grease it so it would be easier, but I'm not gonna lit it on fire. I'm gonna get the grease from the restaurant, can you watch the window?"

Louise answered "Yeah, sure."

Bob also told her "And don't do anything stupid while I'm getting it."

Louise commented "Dad, I'm just making sure nothing happens to the window. It's not like a lightning bolt is gonna show up out of nowhere and zap someone."

Louise is immediately proven wrong when a lightning bolt comes in and ironically zaps her and she screams as she vanishes, much to Bob's horror.

Bob is dumbfounded "Oh my god!" But he instantly becomes horrified when he realizes his daughter is gone. "Oh my God! LOUISE! LOUISE IS GONE!"

Springfield, Simpsons residence:

At the Simpsons home, a storm was coming toward town. Homer was outside, on a ladder, making sure the house was sound and all windows were closed.

Marge came out and asked Homer "Homie! Did you make sure Santa's Little Helper was inside?"

Homer answered "Yes, Marge. He's in the living room with the kids watching tv."

In the living room, Santa' Little helper is with Bart, Lisa and Maggie watching The Itchy and Scratchy Show.

Marge told him "Ok. Don't stay out here too long. I don't want lightning hitting you like before."

"Don't worry. Nothing bad is gonna happen to me. I've survived things like this before." Homer assured his wife.

As Marge went back inside, Homer finished checking the house and climbed down the ladder.

Homer realized he almost left something and asked himself "Where did I leave my donuts?" He saw a box on the table. "Oh there you are, you delicious goodness."

He walked to them but before he could pick up the box, he heard something coming from the thunderclouds and looked up. And before he knew it, a lightning bolt zapped Homer, and he shouted "D'OOOOOH!" as he disappeared.

Marge came out, upon hearing Homer scream "Homer?" She sees that Homer is nowhere to be seen.

Brighton, McGee Residence:

At the McGees' house, it was also raining and everyone was taking shelter at their own house. Molly, her ghost friend, Scratch, and her brother, Darryl, were in the kitchen, having a snack.

Molly was eating ice cream and smiled "Nothing like having ice cream on a rainy day." She heard lightning which made her jump but remained happy "And with a lot of lightning."

Scratch commented as he ate ice cream as well, "How do you manage to stay optimistic after getting scared by lightning? Most kids just hid somewhere."

Molly answered "I told you, being optimistic is what I like to be."

Darryl commented "It's true. It can be pretty scary, sometimes." as he got out a durian.

Scratch looked nervous and asked Darryl "You're not gonna open that, are you?"

Darryl answered "Uh, yeah. You just gotta get past the smell to eat."

As the boy opened the durian, the smell got to Scratch's nose and he flew to the door and opened it to let the smell out.

"Oh, man! Sweet relief." The ghost said in relief.

Molly closed the door and argued "Scratch! You shouldn't have the door open! There's a storm outside!"

Scratch opened the door again as he protested "Will you relax, Molly? What could possibly happen by having the door open during a storm?"

As if on cue, Molly and Scratch suddenly disappeared in a flash of light. Darrly just stood there completely shocked as he dropped his durian.

McDuck Manor:

Back in the mansion, The family was still in complete shock at seeing Beakley disappear before their eyes.

Della gasped and shouted "Mrs. B!"

Webby shouted "Granny!" as she ran towards the stairs, only for Scrooge to stop her with his cane.

The old duck told Webby "There's nothing you can do, Webbigail! We don't even know what happened to her!"

As the triceratops flung Bubba off of him, everyone looked to see Beakley suddenly appear in the picture of Scrooge, Donald and Della fighting Captain Peghook.

"Beakley?" Scrooge said in shock and bewilderment.

"Newton's Apple!" Violet exclaimed.

"She's lost in the past!" said Webby in panic and worry.

Scrooge made the sudden realization "The storm's not just blasting things here, It's blasting us back!"

But as if seeing her grandmother get zapped into the past wasn't bad enough, Webby noticed something in the picture of Scrooge in El Dorado with Donald and Della when they were kids. It was a girl in a very familiar striped shirt and pink hair highlight.

Webby instantly realized who it was and yelled "OH MY GOD!"

This caught everyone's attention as Violet asked "What is it, Webbigail?"

Webby pointed at the picture and told everyone "That girl in the picture in El Dorado! That's Lena!"

Scrooge looked at the picture further and said "Bless me bagpipes, it is Lena!"

Violet came to the conclusion "She must have gotten zapped into the past, looking for Louie!"

Before anything else could happen, another lightning bolt came into the house and Louise Belcher emerged from the bolt.

Louise was dazed from the blast and asked "What the hell just happened to me?" She then sees the McDuck Family looking at her.

Dewey awkwardly waved his hand and said "Uh… Hi."

Louise was now amazed and confused and asked "Am… Am I hallucinating or am I standing in front of the actual McDuck Family in person?"

Before anyone could answer, Molly McGee and Scratch emerged from another flash of light and dropped to the ground.

Scratch lifted himself and remarked at the flash "Whew! That was scary, even for me."

"What the…" Della said.

Louise was dumbfounded by the presence of the ghost "Is that a… a ghost?!"

Molly got up and scolded Scratch saying "THAT is what could happen by having the door open during a storm, Scratch!"

Webby and Violet recognized the girl and ghost and shouted "Molly?! Scratch?!

Molly And Scratch turned their heads to see who it was and Molly happily gasped and shouted "Oh my gosh! Webby! Violet!" Despite the situation, Molly ran and hugged Webby and Violet. "It's so good to see you again! Hey, where's Lena?"

(A/n: At some point before this, Team Magic met Molly and Scratch through Lena's magic)

Before anyone could answer, she took another look at the location they were in and everyone else and spoke very fast "Wow! Is this McDuck Manor?! Is this your old rich uncle? How big is this place?" and took a look at Louise "Is this another friend of yours? Your pink bunny ears hat is cute! Do you wanna be friends?"

Louise pushed Molly away and said "Dude, I just met you!"

Webby stopped Molly and told her "Molly! Look, it's nice to see you here too but we're in the middle of a big situation here!"

Molly asked "What kind?"

Violet replied "A timephoon!"

Molly, Scratch and Louise exclaimed in bewilderment "A WHAT?!"

Another lightning bolt came into the house and out came Scrat and his acorn. Upon getting up, the squirrel screamed at where he was at.

Scrooge looked at the squirrel "What in Damsel Down? Is that some breed of squirrel?"

Scratch took a look at the squirrel and commented "Huh. Kinda scrawny and bushy for a squirrel. Or is it a rat?"

Scratch didn't have time to think about that question as another flash of light came in and Scratch looked up and saw something about to land on him. He screamed and moved to the side. Scrat looked up and screamed as well but didn't move quick enough as the next arrival, Homer Simpson, landed on him.

Scrooge looked at the yellow man and, not recognizing him, told the kids "Approach this one with caution, kids. He could be a roman warrior or an overweight pirate or…" As Homer lifted his head and groaned, Scrooge instantly muttered "Oh, it's just Homer."

As Homer got back up, Scrat, who was now as flat as a pancake, regained consciousness.

Homer panicked about where he's at "AHH! Where am I?! What year is this?! Is the Rock president?" (6)

"No. Homer, you're at McDuck Manor! You got zapped into our world from a time travelling vortex!" Scrooge answered.

"Time Travelling Vortex?! Oh my god! Not Again! My family could be erased from existence! All of Springfield might not even…" Homer began to panic, only to see chili dogs on the floor "Oooh, Chili dogs!" Homer takes one and eats it.

"I got to hand it to whoever made these, these chili dogs are to die for." said Scratch as he ate one too, despite the situation.

"Scratch!" Molly complained at the ghost not taking this seriously.

Before anyone else could say anything, the triceratops began chasing a screaming Dewey. Homer and Scrat saw this and screamed too, as the dinosaur started chasing them too.

"How bad is this problem?!" Molly asked Webby and Violet.

Before the girls could answer, a cowboy and a cowgirl appeared right in front of Huey.

Louise commented "My guess is that it's chaotic bad."

Then a lightning bolt got into the house and a pirate pig and parrot emerged with one shouting "Arggh! Ye matey!"

Outside the mansion, the timephoon became worse and worse as more lightning bolts continued to crash into the mansion.

And now a bunch of circus performers appeared from the lightning bolts riding on the bicycles in the house.

Scrooge yelled at the performers "Hey! Mind the carpet with those muddy tires!" and then told the kids "We have to send everyone back to their original time periods!"

Homer complained "Hey! What about us?!"

Scrooge answered "Yes! We're gonna send you guys back to your worlds too!

Louise questioned "How can you even send us back?! Wait for us to get zapped by lightning again?!"

"No! We have a time tub that's causing this timephoon and we can use it to send you back!" Scrooge answered and turned to Gyro "Gyro! Find that time tub!"

Gyro obliged "On it!" But before he could, he too got zapped into who knows where, shouting "I've immediately failed you!"

Molly was horrified "SWEET BABY CORN!"

Louise remarked disappointed "Well, we're all screwed now."

Webby told them "No we're not! We'll find a way to get you guys back! In the meantime, help us fight off these anomalies!"

"I don't really believe in violence that much, but Scratch and I will gladly fend them off for you, Webby!" Molly accepted!

"Anything to get out of this problem and back home!" Scratch remarked

Scrat nodded in agreement.

"Finally! I get to go in on a lot of fighting and violence! This is MY kind of world!" Louise said with excitement as she grabbed a sword off the floor and began to advance on the time figures.

"I will do this mission to return to my loving family!" Homer declared, only to scream and duck when he saw a sword fly at him!

As Scrooge prepared to fight, Della blamed herself for disregarding Beakley's warning and not taking parenting and time travel seriously. She looked on and gasped in horror at what was going on around her.

Scrooge used his cane to fight off a pirate pelican to where they both equally matched.

Scrat used his acorn to attack the pirate pig, only to get flung into the wall and dropped to the floor with his long teeth stuck, which he pulled off.

Dewey and Webby threw chili cans at the triceratops, which made the dino really angry and roared. The blue and pink ducks ran off as the dinosaur chased after them.

Molly used a sword to fight the ninja from earlier and kicked him away and knocked the ninja into one of the circus performer dogs.

The circus performer pig attempted to attack Molly from behind, only for Scratch to use his ghost power to possess the pig and start beating herself up as Scratch shouted "Nobody attacks my best friend!"

The cowgirl attempted to shoot Violet, only for the hummingbird to dodge each bullet and then use her energy mace to knock the cowgirl into one of the freedom fighters.

Louise used the sword she grabbed and fought the pirate dog. She got pinned to the ground and the dog attempted to finish her off only to grab the sword and use it sideways, along her feet, to dodge his attack and push him back.

Homer engaged in a hand to hand combat with one of the other circus performer dogs, saying "All right, you overweight mutt, let's see how strong your performance is and how I should rate it!"

Homer got a few good punches, but the dog managed to get the upper hand by continuously punching him in the face.

Homer taunted "Is that all you got?" each time he got punched. But the yellow man managed to get the upper-hand by kicking him in the shin and tossing through the wall.

Huey was being chased by the pirates and slid under the cowboy's leg.

The cowboy greeted the pirates "Howdy, partner!"

Huey ran to his mom as she asked "Where's your brother? Where's Louie?!"

Boy's Bedroom:

Louie is in the triplet's room with Launchpad returning every lost treasure he's stolen before anyone can find out he's responsible for all this.

Louie confirmed "The Jewel Bell goes back to the Penny Farming Society in the 1920's!"

Launchpad activated the machine, they teleporte, returned the jewel and got back.

Louie grabbed another treasure, "Gold Rail Old Spike to the…1880's."

Process repeated.

Louie grabbed a ruby but struggled to remember "Wait, does this go to Queen Elizabeak or those Shinobi Warriors! GAH! I can't keep it all straight!"

Launchpad commented on what Louie meant "I got to thinking that time isn't a straight line at all, perhaps it's like a propeller, always in motion, and it's blades in all places of-"

Louie interrupted and yelled "LAUNCHPAD! WE DON'T HAVE TIME!"

Montage:

Louie and Launchpad looked around at where they were at. It was the Mystery Shack in Gravity Falls during the event of Wierdmageddon.

Louie realized they were in the wrong time period "That's not it!"

Launchpad activated the time machine again and they teleported to Amphibia during King Andrias's takeover.

Louie confirmed it wasn't the right one either. "No!"

Now they were in the Boiling Isle in the Demon Realm during the Day Of Unity.

Louie yelled "That's not it, either!"

As Launchpad activated the time tub again, they ended in multiple places. First was the event of Benjamin Franklin's electricity experiment involving a kite and a key. Lightning hit the kite, but as it got to the key, the key touched Louie's beak, electrocuting both him and Launchpad, which they miraculously survived.

Next, they were in front of a wrecking ball during a demolition job, which almost hit the two ducks. Then they were in front of the Hiroshima bombing at the end of World World II and then on the tracks of a steam train in the Wild West, both of which they screamed at.

Then they ended up in front of Michelangelo's David in the Italian Renaissance with Louie's head obscuring the statue's groin. This didn't put them in any danger, thankfully, but it put Louie in discomfort. Frustrated at the time tub, Louie punched the edge of the tub, which sent them to the right time period they were looking for. (7)

Present:

Della came into the boy's bedroom to check on his youngest son "Louie, are you ok?!"

However, the time tub appeared right in front of her with Louie and Launchpad in her, making her gasp. Launchpad gave a casual wave while Louie's eyes widened to see the other person, beside Lena, he didn't want to find out about his scheme.

"Mom, I can explain." Louie defended.

Della's face contorts with a combination of anger and shock as the reality of it all kicks in. One of her own sons was responsible for causing this Timephoon.

Della became insanely furious and yelled "LOUIE!"

Louie cringed to see he's been busted and to hear the enraged tone in his mother's voice "Oh man… I'm so busted…"

Foyer:

The foyer has become an entire free-for-all and everyone could hear Della yell Louie's name.

Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Webby and Violet deadpanned "It's Louie."

Louise thought they said her name "What?! I didn't cause this problem!"

Scrooge replied "Not you! Louie!"

Louise stated "Oh I thought you guys said "Louise," which is my name."

Scrooge remarked "Well, mystery solved."

"Louie stole the time tub." Huey commented as he dodged the punch of a cowgirl and landed a blow in the face.

"Why am I not surprised." said Dewey as he punched a pirate without even looking.

"We should've realized that when I said Lena got zapped looking for Louie." Violet added as she used her mace to hit the female circus performer.

"It's always him…well…mostly…" Webby commented as she back kicked a cowgirl without looking.

"Is Louie the green duck triplet you two and Lena told us about?" Molly asked Webby and Violet as she used a frying pan to disarm a male cowboy who tried to shoot her.

"Yes." Webby and Violet confirmed.

"Well, now we both know which triplet is which." Scratch said as he trapped a pirate and cowgirl with his ectoplasm.

"A troublemaker in the family, huh? I like this triplet already." said Louise as she started hitting the bicycle performance on the head with a bat.

"Is it ok for me to strangle him for getting me here?" Homer asked.

Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Webby, Violet and even Molly and Scratch shouted "NO!"

Molly was outraged at what Homer was thinking "Good Lord! Who would strangle a little kid?!"

The free-for-all continued as Scrooge was in front of the stairs assessing the situation. A pirate attacked with his sword but Scrooge blocked it with his cane before delivering a kick in the stomach. The unicycle performer circled around him but Scrooge smacked the wheel, knocking him off.

A female pirate attempted to attack from behind but Webby arrived to block with her Persian Blade, pushing back, grinding her blade and protecting Scrooge with all her strength. Scrooge and Webby smiled at each other before glaring back at the pirate. She swung her blade, parrying both their sword/cane strikes.

Dewey has one Laser Sabre summoned to parry the sword strike of the ninja. They lock blades and Dewey pushes back before kicking him away. A pirate tries to grab him but he rolls under his arm to grab a hot dog on the floor and toss it in his face hard enough to make him fall back.

The pirate shouted "Ow! My scurvy!"

A cowgirl attempts to ensnare Dewey in a lasso but he cuts the rope in half before, headbutting the woman and getting her zapped by the afterblast lightning.

Dewey and Webby are standing together with Scrooge holding both their swords with two hands and fire in their eyes.

Scrooge informed the kids "We cannae let anyone else get blasted with lightning or we won't know where the hell they've gone!"

Dewey turned with a sly smile and said "It's actually when the hell they've gone."

Scrooge and Webby groaned at Dewey for that annoying phrase which he responds to with a finger snap and finger gun, only to be disturbed by an obese pirate.

Molly used a sword to dodge more attacks from a pirate chicken. She pulled the pirate hat over his head and kicked him towards Scratch, allowing the ghost to trap him with ectoplasm.

Molly and Scratch high-fived each other as Molly exclaimed "Yeah! Noone overpowers the Ghost and Molly McGee!"

Louise threw chili cans at the cowboy/cowgirls and pirates, but she grabbed Scrat without realizing it and launched the squirrel toward the pirate.

Scrat landed on the pirate's face and he struggled to get him off as the squirrel moved around inside the pirate's clothes before eventually coming from the back of his shirt. The squirrel noticed his acorn on the pirate's head. He yelled as he jumped right on to the pirates head, knocking the dog over as Scrat retrieved his acorn.

The Spanish or French freedom fighters were advancing on Homer, who tried to talk the fighters out of killing him by saying "You know, the word "freedom" is tossed around a lot these days. But when it comes to the mere concept…" But the freedom fighters weren't having it as one of them threw a chair at Homer, making him shout "D'oh!" (8)

As Homer got back up, he gave them a look of fury and said "Now you've pissed me off." He pulled out something in his pants. It was a giant cinder block with a chain around it. He shouted "Taste the fury of…THE DEFENDER!" He swung it at the freedom fighters.

The defender hit one fighter in the head, one fighter in the torso, one fighter in the groin, and then one in the leg, making the fighter shout "MY LEG!" (9)

Homer mocked "Oh, so sorry!"

After Homer knocked the fighters, one fighter was still standing, but now has a scared look on his face. Homer now had a look of confidence, and gestured his hand to come and fight.

Not wanting to get hit with a cinder block, the freedom fighter just said "Nope!" and started to run.

Homer chased after him, yelling "AAH, YOU! COME HERE! STOP! STOP! SLOW DOWN WHEN I'M TRYING TO HIT YOU! COME HERE, YOU! COME ON!" as he swung the defender around. He jumped towards the freedom fighter, but missed. (10)

Huey had his Spirit Guandao out as he fought one of the other freedom fighters. But Huey managed to get the upper hand as he jumped from behind her and tripped her, allowing the red duck triplet to tie her up.

The pirate pig was about to strike Huey, but Violet used her Energy Mace to dodge his attack. Huey and Violet smiled at each other before glaring at the pirate pig. The hummingbird pushed the pig back.

Huey and Violet suddenly heard a growl and saw the Triceratops about to attack them, frightening the two nerds.

"Vi, get behind me." Huey told Violet, which she did as they backed away from the red creature.

Huey gestured to the dinosaur to calm down "You don't wanna hurt people. We can be friends. We can call you… Tootsie."

Tootsie released a roar at them.

Violet told the red duck "I don't think he or she likes that name, Huey!"

"I think you might be right!" Huey agreed as they held onto each other.

Tootsie was about to stomp Huey and Violet, just as Bubba double kicked a pirate in the face. He noticed his red and purple friends screaming in fear. He spotted a club from Scrooge's cane sack and took it out. With a stylish spin he charged, riding on a skateboard before swinging up its horn.

"BUBBA-CLUBBA!" Bubba yelled as he smashed the club in Tootsie's head and now Huey and Violet were watching the cave duck ride the Triceratops like a maniac.

Huey pointed out "Technically you shouldn't have discovered clubs until-"

Violet told Huey in excitement "Hubert. Caveduck actually did have clubs at their time. This is accurate to what we've researched!"

Huey realized "You're right, Violet. What am I even complaining about!? THIS IS AWESOME!" They got out his JWG and jotted down notes in excitement as Bubba rode the Triceratops. "GO YOU FREAK OF HISTORY! GO!"

"LIVE YOUR PREHISTORIC LIFE!" Violet exclaimed.

An angry Della and Launchpad were carrying the Timetub down the upper stairs with Louie in it.

Louie told his mother "Mom, I put everything back! I know this is a big deal!

When they arrived in front of the broken window, Louie saw the huge deal he had just created inside the manor, making Della more furious than ever.

Della berated Louie "THIS IS A HUGE DEAL! Beakley and Lena are lost to time! And if I'd listened to her about this and put my foot down earlier, none of this would've happened!"

Launchpad tried to defend Louie "Listen, Ms. D., I can explain! You see, time is… He can't find the right words anymore. No. Lost it." Suddenly an afterblast lightning roared down to Launchpad and zapped him. "EVERYTHING WE DO HAS ALREADY HAPPENED!"

He disappears and the Timetub drops down the stairs, causing Della to trip over and Louie hits his face.

Bubba jumps down from Tootsie and Dewey and Webby stand back to back holding their weapons.

Bubba saw Louie and the time tub "Bubba-Tubba!" This got everyone's attention.

Louise remarked "You're kidding me. A literal bathtub time machine?!"

Scratch question "Is that really the best thing for a time machine?"

Molly told them "Guys! That's our only way back to our worlds!"

Scrooge has finished tying up a cowboy as he spoke "Time to send those unwanted house guests ho…" Before he could finish, he got zapped and screamed, as he disappeared, much to everyone's horror.

Dewey & Webby exclaimed "UNCLE SCROOGE!"

Homer said "I don't wanna get hurt by more lightning!"

Molly exclaimed "This is becoming worse by the minute!"

Louise panicked "This is causing way too much trouble, even for me!"

Della lifted the Timetub back in place. Dewey, Webby, Huey, Violet, Bubba, Molly, Scratch, Louise, Homer and Scrat, who grabbed his acorn, gathered around it and were ready to defend themselves from the approaching enemies as Louie fiddled with multiple controls to fix everything.

Homer asked them "Ok, can you get me home before these pirates, cowboys and whatever attack me?!"

Louie was dumbfounded by Homer's presence and asked "What the heck is Homer doing here?!" And he saw Molly, Scratch, Louise and Scrat. "And who are those guys?!"

Despite the problem going on, Molly happily introduced herself "Oh where's my manners? I'm Molly McGee and this is Scratch. We're friends of your figurative…"

Webby and Violet told the human girl "Not now, Molly!"

Molly remembered what was going on and sheepishly said "Right. Right. Time storm problem. Sorry."

Huey told Louie "We'll tell you about them later, we have to take care of this problem!"

Louie agreed "Right! Got it!" Before he could fiddle with the controls again, he recognized Scrat from his encounter with him in the Ice Age era "Hey! That's the prehistoric squirrel who attacked me!"

Scrat also recognized him, and protected his acorn from him, remembering his encounter with the green duck.

"Louie!" Della, Huey, Dewey, Webby and Violet shouted, needing him to focus.

Louie stated "Right. Sorry. It's okay! I know how to fix this!"

Webby questioned "How are we gonna get all these anomalies into that tiny tub?! If we keep using it, it'll make the storm become worse than ever!"

Louie answered "One of several things I'll know! Any second now!"

Louise told the youngest duck triplet "Green duck, whatever you're doing, do it fast!" (11)

Homer agreed with the pink rabbit-eared hat girl "Yeah! Now would be a good time to turn it on!"

Louie yelled at the two to stop distracting him "I'm working on it!"

One of the muscular circuit performers approached but Bubba bounced off the tub to smack his knee and then his head.

"Yes!/Huzzah!" Huey and Violet shouted respectively at the same time.

Huey and Violet got zapped, followed up by Dewey and Webby, much to everyone's horror, especially Louie and Della's.

Della was close to tears as she failed to hug her middle son and daughter-figure on time and yelled "KIDS! NO!"

Molly was equally horrified at seeing the kids zapped, especially with Webby and Violet and yelled "NO! NOT MY BIRD FRIENDS!"

Molly tried to run towards where they were but Louise stopped her, telling her "There's nothing you can do, kid!"

"LOUIE! HURRY!" yelled Della as she desperately turned to her youngest son.

Louie could only watch in horror and trauma as Della screams after getting zapped.

Louie called to his mother in horror "MOM!" He adjusted some switches. "I hope this works!"

Louie climbed up, grabbing the shower device, aiming at the anomalies and turning on the switch. A blue blast of light sent the circus performer back and soon everyone disappeared, even Benjamin Frankloon who walked in.

As he had kept the blast light on, Louie turned towards Bubba and the other cartoon characters and said "Alright, let's get you guys home!" as he aimed the blue light at them

Scrat grabbed his acorn, and saluted Louie, now having gained his respect for sending him home as he disappeared.

Homer was next and he stated "I'll never forget this, duckling! I'll remember to thank you for sending me home! Unless, of course, I can't find you or if I forget." as he vanished. (12)

Louie aimed the light at Louise, who told Louie "Don't let this mistake get to you after this! Learn from the mistake! LIVE YOUR BEST FUTURE!" as she disappeared.

Molly and Scratch were next as Scratch told Louie, "Good luck with all this, kid!"

Molly told Louie with a worried expression for Team Magic, "Make sure Webby, Lena and Violet are safe from all this. Ok?"

Despite not knowing her as much as the girls did, Louie smiled slightly at Molly, telling her "I will." just as she disappeared with Scratch.

Bubba gave Louie the thumbs up before being sent back to his time period. He shouted "BUBBA!" as a goodbye to Louie.

Louie turned off the machine now that the anomalies were taken care of.

Ice Age universe:

Scrat and his acorn reappeared from the flash of light on top of the exact tree he was standing on in the exact rainy night. Scrat was still worried that it might not have worked, so he placed his feet on the tree once more to see if it was real. Scrat found out that everything was real. He was back in his own time. He did a small happy dance with his acorn.

Now that Scrat was where he was, he proceeded to press his acorn on the tree. But a bolt of lightning struck him yet again, this time, singeing off his fur and releasing his grip on his acorn. All poor Scrat could do was just stand there and groan.

Seymour's Bay, Belcher Residence/Bob's Burgers restaurant:

Bob was panicking after her youngest daughter's disappearance and Linda, along with Tina, their oldest daughter, and Gene, their son, were present, trying to understand what happened as the window was still open.

As Bob was breathing heavily as Linda placed her hand on his shoulder and said "Ok, Bob. Can you please calm down and tell me what happened to Louise?"

Bob shouted "I already told you, Linda! A lightning bolt came in through the window and zapped Louise and she vanished!"

"Was the lightning bolt caused by robots? Are they trying to start an apocalypse?" asked Gene.

Tina stated "I think zombies are more likely to start an apocalypse than robots."

Gene argued "That's because you're obsessed with zombies."

Linda gave her opinion "I think Aliens have a more upper hand at apocalypse stuff."

Bob was irritated at his wife and other kids and yelled "Were any of you listening?! LOUISE IS GONE AND NONE OF YOU ARE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY!"

At that moment, a flash of light came through the window yet again, scaring the Belchers and Louise emerged from the flash.

The little girl looked around and saw her family rubbing their eyes from the flash. She sighed in relief "I'm home."

Bob was the first to see who said that and exclaimed "LOUISE!" He scooped up his daughter and hugged her tight "YOU'RE ALIVE!"

"Yes, Dad. I'm alive." Louise said, feeling her dad's tight grip.

Linda hugged Bob and Louise, saying "Oh my baby! Oh my baby!" She smothered Louise with kisses.

Bob put down Louise and asked "Louise, what happened to you? Where did that lightning bolt take you?"

Linda asked "Were you abducted by aliens?"

"Were you in a future where a zombie apocalypse was happening?" asked Tina.

"Were you in another world run by robots?" Gene asked.

Louise calmed them down and told them "It's been quite a weird time for me and I think it's better if I tell you guys about it later. Though there's a chance that you won't believe me."

Springfield, Simpsons residence:

Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie were out in the backyard, looking for Homer after the storm livened up a little.

"Homer? Homer!" Marge called.

Lisa came up to her mother and told her "We've looked all over the backyard, Mom. Dad's nowhere in the backyard."

Bart suggested "He's probably just got struck by lightning again and started running through the street, thinking he got superpowers. Might as well just call it a day."

Maggie sucked on her pacifier, agreeing with Bart.

Marge pondered, "Well, I did warn him about lightning earlier."

Before anyone else could decide anything, Homer re-emerged in a flash of light in midair, making him drop to the ground as he yelled "D'oh!"

As Homer got back up, the kids yelled in excitement and relief "Dad!" and ran to hug him.

Marge hugged her husband as well "Oh Homie, you're alright! Where have you been?"

Homer hugged his family back and answered "Let's just say I've ended up in Duckburg and craziness went down."

Brighton, McGee Residence:

Darryl was still in the kitchen with his and Molly's parents, Sharon and Pete, as he tried to tell them what transpired.

"Darryl, can you tell us again what happened to your sister and Scratch?" Sharon asked, wondering about her daughter and her ghost friend.

Darryl explained "I just told you, Scratch opened the door, Molly told him to close the door, and they both vanished in a flash of lightning."

Pete explained to Darryl, "Son, people can't randomly vanish from lightning." But then started to ponder "Then again, the ghost world is a thing in our world, so I could be wrong."

Suddenly a flash of light scared them and Molly and Scratch appeared in the kitchen in front of them.

Darryl told him "See? What'd I tell you?"

Molly and Scratch were relieved that they were home as they saw their family.

"Molly, Scratch, what happened to you two?" Sharon asked as she and Pete hugged their daughter and the ghost.

"Did you two get zapped into the ghost world? Did you both die?!" Pete asked worriedly.

Scratch corrected "Dude, I'm already dead, and Molly would have been a permanent ghost if she was dead by now."

Sharon asked again "Well, regardless, where were you two?"

Molly happily answered "Oh, we were zapped into another world where a bunch of talking birds, some of which we were already friends with, were fighting a bunch of anomalies from different time periods."

Sharon, Pete and Darryl was shocked at they heard

"Another world?!" Sharon exclaimed.

"Different time periods?!" shouted Darryl.

"Talking birds?!" Pete yelled.

Molly realized she and Scratch have a lot to explain and suggested "Maybe it's better to explain it over chili dogs."

"Good idea. I have a big craving for it." Scratch agreed.

McDuck Manor:

Now the entire room is empty, devoid of the anomalies but no member of the family has been brought back.

"Mom? Lena? Dewey? Huey? Webby? Violet? Uncle Scrooge? Mrs. B? Launchpad?" Louie called.

Louie was all alone as he was forced to stare at the consequences of his actions and selfish intentions. Tears welled up in his eyes as the reality of his actions kicked into his mind.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE!?" he cried loudly. "I WANT ANOTHER CHANCE! I HAVEN'T LEARNED ANYTHING! I LOST MY ENTIRE FAMILY!" He tearfully and angrily glared at the clocks before giving them a hard kick. "I DON'T WANT THIS FOUL TIMETUB OR THOSE STUPID TREASURES! I WANT MY FAMILY BACK"! (13)

He let out a loud cry and tears of agony as he face-planted against the tub, banging the edges.

Then in an instant, a bolt of lightning brought Launchpad behind the tub, wearing an apocalyptic version of his pilot outfit. Lena emerged in a black-dressed fairy outfit. Scrooge and Beakely emerged, the former wearing an Arabian outfit and the latter wearing pirate clothing. Louie gasped in shock.

"You're back!?" he cried.

Huey and Violet re-emerged with a cowboy and showgirl outfit (respectively), Dewey and Webby dressed as hippies and Della wearing a full suite of feminine knight armor. Louie was overjoyed and jumped down to help up his brothers.

Louie shouted "YOU'RE BACK! I AM SO, SO, SORRY!"

Everyone, except Launchpad, gathered around Louie with the family and was extremely angry at Louie for what he did.

Beakley angrily asked "Llewellyn Duck, what were you thinking?! Why would you steal the time tub and put everyone's lives at risk?!"

Louie answered "Well, at the time, I thought taking treasure from various time periods would make me rich enough to start my dream business. I thought it would be the perfect scheme."

Huey was flabbergasted and scolded him "The perfect…?! Taking treasure from the past is NOT a scheme that can be pulled off without repercussions!"

Dewey angrily asked "Louie, are schemes really the only thing you care about?! More than your own family?!"

Louie answered "I didn't know what was going on at the time! I have no idea that time travelling during a storm would cause a time rift!"

"Good grief, Louie! You really never think about the consequences of your actions, do you?!" Webby berated.

Louie defended "I thought I had planned for every possibility! I thought it wouldn't have any affect on the time stream!"

"Well, Louie, your morals were skewed because it had a massive affect on the time stream!" An angry Violet pointed out.

Scrooge sternly said "Your scheme to bypass the present almost cost us our future! Do you have anything to say for yourself, Louie?!"

Louie said, "Look, I know I screwed up. What I did was big."

Lena angrily yelled "What you did was huge! You almost destroyed time and space! You nearly zapped us all out of existence! Before we can even think about forgiving you, I need to know what was going through your head when you stole that time tub and took treasure from various time periods!"

Louie didn't know how to respond to that. He thought for a bit and shrugged his arms and made a hum that said "I don't know" but Lena wasn't convinced and she yelled once more, "LOUIE!"

Louie got nervous at Lena yelling and said "I don't know what to tell you, Lena! I don't think about things!"

Louie clearly looked ashamed and guilty and continued what he was saying, just as Gyro dropped down the tub wearing an old medieval formal party outfit.

"You guys are right. What I did was idiotic and irresponsible. I thought I had a foolproof get-rich-quick plan but it turns out…I was the fool. Can you guys ever forgive me?" he asked, feeling terrible about what he had done.

Seeing how this wasn't the first time Louie has done something like this, everyone who knew him so well, including the eldest, were quick to forgive and soften their mood toward him.

"Oh, okay." said Beakley.

"Oh, you know we can. We always do." Webby nodded.

"Very well, Llewellyn." Violet agreed.

"You know it's fine, classic Louie." Dewey said dismissively.

"Yeah, of course." Launchpad nodded.

"Yeah, yeah of course, bring it in." Huey nodded.

"Eh, I'm sure you've learned…something." Scrooge shrugged.

Lena assured Louie, "You know nothing can break our friendship, Lou."

Everyone (except Gyro) gathered to share a group family hug with Louie, officially forgiving him and Louie is relieved. However, not everyone forgave Louie. One person didn't display that mercy due to not knowing what Louie is truly like and she cleared her throat.

Everyone separated and turned to see Della take off her helmet, revealing a stern, disappointed and angry look aimed at Louie.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" She said firmly.

"Oh boy." Louie quietly said to himself, knowing how angry her mother was earlier and thinking she was gonna disown him.

Louie slowly and cautiously approached Della "I guess it really was a huge deal, like you said." He gave a nervous chuckle.

Della was even more angry at Louie with that joke he just made and exclaimed "You think this is funny? You just endangered everyone in this mansion!"

Louie told her "I know I did. I'm sorry!"

"For what?! Stealing the time tub or almost killing everyone?!" Della berated.

Louie tried to defend himself "No, I…"

Della interrupted "I watched your brother blink out of existence because you wanted a shortcut to riches!"

"Do you think I don't know that?! I watched them disappear like you did!" Louie exclaimed.

But Della wasn't having it as she approached him. "You took off in that contraption without thinking of the consequences or the people you would hurt!"

Louie was about to tell her off at her refusal to forgive him and her hypocrisy since she did a similar action with the spear of Selene. However, he stopped himself and thought about what she just said. She is right. He did take off in a dangerous machine and brush off the consequences or who he would hurt. In fact, the minute he saw Lena zapped before his eyes, just like how Magica zapped Lena out of existence in front of him. This time, this happened because of his own doing.

Louie lowered his head and said "You're right." much to the confusion of Della and everyone else. "None of this would have happened if I hadn't thought only about myself. I don't deserve anyone's forgiveness." He leaves the foyer and says "I'll wait in my room until you've decided my punishment."

Della looked on at Louie leaving "I don't believe it. He admitted he was wrong. And just when I was about to…" She realized that she was about to punish her youngest son without spending any time with him or even getting to know him. She dropped to knees and sighs "I can't believe myself. I feel awful."

Beakley placed her hands on Della's shoulder in comfort "Well, it can be hard. But… a little tough love every now and then will make them better people later." she said.

Della still remembered what Donald said and turned to face Beakley and said "Bentina, I already told you. I'm not punishing my children now."

"Della, Louie almost destroyed time and space." Bentina stated.

Della pointed out "But you were able to forgive him."

"Yes, but he still needs to be punished for it. We can't just let him off scot free for…" Beakley answered

Della interrupted and said "Well, then you and Uncle Scrooge should be the ones to punish him! Not me! I hardly know anything about Louie at this point! And you're asking me to punish him when I've only been back for 2 weeks and still haven't learned to bond with my kids?"

Beakley sternly argued "Della, you saw how serious this crisis was! Your boys have a habit of making mistakes that usually costs us our lives and what Louie did is no different! You have to punish him!"

Della, becoming fed up with Beakley's stubbornness and oblivious to what she just told her, yelled at the top of her lung "NO!"

Her yell shocked Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Webby, Lena, Violet and Launchpad while Beakley was silenced and speechless.

Della took a few deep breaths and calmed down. "I heard what you and Donald were talking about before he left. I heard him say that if I started punishment now, I'd overdo like I always do and ruin my relationship with my kids. He had a good reason not to teach me that now and when I heard say that, I knew he was right. I really do act without thinking. And you're not only trying to force me to punish my youngest son when I barely know him, you're also disregarding and disrespecting my brother!" She turned around and said "I know you're trying to help me with parenting, but I am not ruining my relationship with Louie."

She leaves the foyer without saying another word, ignoring Beakley's call "Della…"

Scrooge halted the retired spy and told her "Maybe it's better if we leave her be." Scrooge and Beakley leave to rest after the fiasco.

Dewey walked up to Launchpad, whose eyes were haunted.

"Launchpad, you okay?" he asked.

"I went to the future…I've seen how the world ends…" Launchpad said darkly. He resumes his cheerful look before leaving and gives a casual wave "It was neat, see you there soon!"

The kids all looked upstairs, worried about Louie. They have never seen Louie give up like that. This is not like him at all. Not only that, but even after she yelled at him in front of the family, Della refused to punish her youngest son, knowing what would happen. They know that Beakley is right that Louie needs to be punished, but Della being the one to do it wouldn't seem right.

Webby looked at Lena in the outfit she was in when she reappeared and asked "Lena?" The shadow duck turned her head "Why are you dressed like a fairy?"

Lena looked at the outfit she was still in and gave an embarrassed blush, saying "Umm… Well… I'll explain later. Right now, I think we should talk to Louie about what happened."

The kids all agree and they head upstairs. They approached the boys' bedroom.

Lena knocked and said "Louie? Are you in there?"

Louie answered in a depressed tone "Yes."

His tone made them worry as Huey asked "Can you let us in, Louie? We just want to talk to you."

Louie responded "Go ahead. It's unlocked. Plus since it's your and Dewey's bedtime too, Huey, I have to leave it unlocked."

Huey opened the door and they saw Louie, sitting on his bed, with his head on his knees.

Dewey started "Hey, little brother. How… um… how are you holding up?"

After closing the door, Violet said "You had us worried when you told your mom that you'll wait for her to decide on your punishment."

Louie, not wanting to make things worse, answered "I'm fine."

"Louie, you're not fine." Webby said "We can see it on your face."

The green duck took a deep breath. "I was thinking about what could have happened to all of you if I hadn't fixed this. I made a freakin' hole in the time vortex and even brought people from other worlds in here, like a squirrel with long teeth that I know and a human girl with a ghost friend."

Lena was surprised with that last one and asked "Wait did you say human girl with a ghost friend?" She turned to Webby and Violet "Is he talking about Molly and Scratch?"

Webby answered "Yeah, they were zapped into the mansion too, along with a few other people from other worlds."

Louie began to talk to them "I just feel awful about what I did. I almost killed everyone because of my own selfishness and stupidity. Every scheme I pull ends up a disaster and leads to bad things for my family."

The kids were shocked at Louie for saying that. "Louie, that's not true. Your schemes have done a lot more good than bad. In fact, most of us wouldn't be here if it weren't for you." Dewey told him.

Louie took a look at the different outfit his brothers and figurative sisters were wearing and asked them "where do you guys end up, anyway?"

Dewey answered first "Well Webby and I ended up probably somewhere in the 19… 70s?"

Webby corrected "Woodstock." The kids looked at the small duck as she explained "Dewey and I were in Woodstock. It's a music and art fair festival that happened on the weekend of August 15 through 17 in 1969. Hence why we're dressed like hippies."

The kids understood now as Lena complimented Webby's outfit "Well, you do look cute in that outfit and hairstyle, Pink."

Webby blushed "Thanks, Lena."

Violet gave her answer next, "As for me and Huey, we ended in the Wild West, as you two can probably tell."

Huey added "And it wasn't just any Wild West."

This caught their interest as Louie asked "What do you mean?"

Huey explained "Well it was kind of an unexpected surprise at where in the Wild West. Do you guys remember the theatrical sequel to An American Tail?"

Webby asked "You mean Fievel Goes West? Yeah. Why?"

Violet answered "Well, we were both shocked to find out we were both in Green River." Those who weren't with Huey and Violet were shocked. "Not only that but we briefly interacted with someone we didn't think we'd run into."

Dewey gasped "You mean…?"

Huey answered "Yes, we met Fievel Mousekewitz."

The kids were shocked by this. They weren't just in another time, they were in another world.

Louie was split about this and commented "I've got some very confusing emotions right now." (14) He turned to Lena and asked "What about you, Lena? Where and when did you end up?"

Lena answered "Well, I was in El Dorado when Uncle Donald and Della were kids."

Louie's eyes widened. He turned to the other kids for confirmation and Webby said "It's true. We saw it in the portraits."

Louie turned back to Lena and she continued "I had no idea what I could do at the moment but I saw what looked like the head of the gilded man we fought the day after Della came back. So I had to hide somewhere."

Flashback; El Dorado:

Lena had just found a hiding place from the gilded man and took a few deep breaths "I am definitely not in Duckburg, anymore."

The goth duck looked around and admired the beautiful scenery "So this is El Dorado. Looks a lot more beautiful than I thought." She saw Scrooge talking to the chief of El Dorado "Hey it's Uncle Scrooge. Maybe he can help me." Just as she started to walk toward them she stopped and thought to herself "Wait a minute. They can't know who I am and where I'm from. I have to find a disguise." She saw a black dress and she got an idea.

She was in the black dress with a black crown on her head and had black make-shift wings on her back, looking like a black-dress fairy that the kids saw her in.

She took a good look at herself and came to a realization "D'oh, what am I thinking? This disguise won't fool anybody."

She is instantly proven when some kids saw Lena and one of them said "Hey guys! Look! There's some kind of fairy over there!"

She turns to see the kid pointing at her as another says "Hey, you're right! Do you think it's real?"

Another kid suggested "Maybe we should ask her if she grants any wishes."

As the kids were deciding on how to approach her, Lena slowly walked away until they were out of sight.

One of the kids noticed that she left and said "Wait where did she go?" The rest of the kids turned to see she was gone."

Flashback paused

Present:

"Oh. So that's why you're dressed like that." Webby stated.

Lena sheepishly confirmed "Yeah. I was kinda surprised that it worked. Anyway, when I was in El Dorado, trying to get back to the present, I saw Uncle Donald and Della fighting in a cave.

Flashback continues; El Dorado:

Lena got to a nearby cave to hide and thought to herself "Ok, I have to find a way back to my own time."

Suddenly she heard screaming in the cave she was in. She looked in one of the pathways and gasped in surprise as she saw a young Donald and Della. Donald was wrestling near a wall with Della pinned down but unbeknownst to them behind Donald was a strange small glowing mark.

Donald roared "You left me you jerk! It was supposed to be me and you! That's how it was supposed to be forever! You ruined my life!"

Della yelled back at his statement "You ruined YOUR own life, Donald! And you ruined mine too!"

She kicked Donald in the stomach and stuck him against the mark, causing him to scream in pain and anguish from the extreme heat when the mark burned through the back of his hoodie. Donald dropped down to the ground and Della stepped back, horrified with what she just did. She never wanted to hurt him like this. Lena, who was still watching from afar, gasped in horror.

Della ran to Donald and cried "Donald! Oh my gosh, are you okay!? She rushes over and bends down. What have I done!? I'm sorry, I-!"

Donald grabbed her in anger and knees her forehead. Della screamed in absolute pain and agony from the hard blow and was then punched away. She held her already hurt forehead on the ground, screaming and writhing in pain. Her forehead had a red bruise and Donald is barely standing. He held the top left of his back which now has a burn mark but he didn't care and just hatefully glared at his sister while walking towards her, who's struggling to stand.

Donald coldly remarked "Some sister you turned about to be. You care more about yourself than the people around you. You think more about your feelings and never think about how others are affected."

He made one last lunge at her and they wrestled each other again but this time Della was no match for Donald as she was thrown to the ground and Donald jumped to knee her in the stomach, causing her to scream in pain and anguish. Donald then grabbed her by her scarf and lifted her head to see fear in her eyes but he didn't care about that.

Donald said "You say I never felt anything for our parents. Well here's how I've been feeling."

He brings up his fist and begins relentlessly pounding her without showing any signs of mercy. Della screamed in pain and anguish as she felt Donald constantly slam his fists against her face and they're much harder and painful for her. It became worse and her screams became louder when Donald began mercilessly slamming both his fists into Della's stomach and he did it with tears gushing out of him.

Lena was horrified at what she was seeing as she covered his beak and a few tears leaked from her eyes. It reminded her of how her former aunt treated her. It was even worse than what Webby told her.

As Donald continued hitting Della, he yelled "This is just a fraction of what I've been suffering!" He hit her harder and she screamed even more. "You don't even know what I've been through! You don't even care!"

He punched her again and then began to strangle his sister. Della was unable to get him off her and she began to choke. Donald's grip became tighter and Della felt herself dying. It was at that moment Donald's eyes widened in horror, as she looked at her sister's scared and hurt face, reminding him of the promise he made to his parents and Della when they were 6 that he would protect her no matter what. Seeing that he's going too far with this prompted him to release Della immediately by throwing her to the ground and moving back.

Lena froze in place at what happened. She saw Donald beat up her own sister without any mercy whatsoever. All she could do was watch.

Della managed to catch her breath and the twins were on the ground panting, completely exhausted. Both of them were covered in a lot of bruises and dirt, their hair is ruffled, a burn mark on Donald's back and a red bruise on Della's forehead.

Donald gets on his knees to glare at his sister and mocked "Have you had enough Dumbella!?"

Della got on her knees and yelled "Stop calling me that!"

Donald didn't care if she didn't like that name and said "I'll call you whatever I want, you little brat!"

Della had enough of Donald and said "Ever since you got our Mom and Dad killed, you've been nothing but a jerk!"

That statement pissed off Donald and prompted him to tackle Della in pure anger and shout "Do not mention our parents!"

Della shouted back "It's true! You were the one who ran away and got them killed in that fire!"

Donald angrily yelled "Shut up! I don't need you always reminding me that!"

Della said "I'm not the one who ran away just because I wanted to spite our father!"

"Do not…tell me what I want!" yelled Donald

Della told him "I don't need to tell you what you want; it's obvious!"

What Donald said next changed everything. "You were the one who wanted adventure and to take your anger out on me and I just wanted a SISTER!"

It was after this very sentence the fighting and struggling immediately stopped. Della was shocked hearing this and Donald was shocked from finally saying it. He put on a sad expression and released Della before reeling back and looking down while Della lifted herself up and looked at her brother with a sympathetic expression as tears streamed down from his eyes.

Lena was just as shocked and snapped out of her frozen state. She continued to see what happened.

Donald explained himself "6 months ago I ran away because I couldn't stand seeing you hurting over our Dad banning us from going on any more adventures. I wanted to prove that I could take care of myself. I thought if I did then maybe we'd be free. All I ever wanted was to make you happy, Della." Della felt her anger go away, she put on a sad expression as she watched Donald continuing to cry. "Because of me, we lost our parents. You were all I had left in this world. I needed someone to help me cope with the guilt, to help me get through it. I needed you, Della. But guess what…you weren't there for me, Della." Donald's tone became tearful. "Instead of supporting me, you made me feel worse by blaming me for what happened…because it was all true. It's all my fault, all my fault!"

Della could only sit there with an absolutely mortified and guilty expression as she watches Donald continuing to cry. For months she's been blaming her brother for the deaths of their parents and the emotional turmoil it had put her through but what she refused to realize was that her brother took it harder than her. She made his guilt feel worse when she should've done something to help him. She knows this now but it's too late.

Donald continued to speak. "I'm still haunted by what I did to our parents. I cry myself to sleep almost every night, unable to let go of the fact that if I hadn't run away, then our parents would still be here…"

Donald began sobbing and tears left his face. Seeing this caused Della to tear up and let them stream down her face, feeling incredibly guilty and regretful for selfishly not considering Donald's feelings.

Lena also had a few tears escape her own eyes. She could see the emotional pain that Donald was going through at that age.

As they cried, Della tried to comfort her twin and said with a teary tone "I-I didn't know. I was so caught up in my own misery that I didn't give any thought about how you felt. Donald, I-I'm so sorry!" but Donald knocks it off and punches Della in the jaw. She shouted in pain and landed on her back. Donald gets up and angrily glares at her sister who looks back at him looking physically and emotionally hurt.

In an act of anger, he yanked off Della's scarf and yelled "You don't deserve this scarf! I brought it! Just leave me alone, Della! Leave me alone like you always have!"

He ran off into one of the caves and passed by Lena without knowing, crying and sobbing hysterically, leaving Della to tearfully contemplate the wedge she had created between her and her brother.

"Donald… The tears heavily stream down her face and she sobs quietly. Donnie… what have I done…? I'm so sorry…I'm so sorry…Donald…"

Della's crying and sobbing become louder as she drops her face to the ground. Soon she's crying hysterically and loudly, her voice echoing through the cave. All she feels is nothing but remorse, guilt, emotional pain, self-hatred and above all…loneliness…which her brother felt and she's been refusing to acknowledge for months.

Lena was shocked and tearful at what just occurred. She saw her figurative uncle and her sister fight each other and saw the former completely disown his own twin. She felt sympathetic for both for them as she remembered how badly she was treated by own former aunt. But there was nothing she could do right now since she could be zapped back to her time period at any minute.

She continued to walk, in the hopes of finding a way out of the cave. But unbeknownst to her, she was about to bump right into someone, which she did.

"What the heck…?" Lena said, regaining her composure. But she stopped as she saw who she bumped into. It was Donald on the ground, with tears still in his eyes.

As Donald got back up, he scowled "Hey! What's the big…?!" He stopped as he looked at Lena, though not recognizing her since she wasn't born at this time. "Oh, you're just some kid. What's with that weird fairy outfit?"

Lena had to think of what she had to say "Ummm… Because… I AM a fairy. I'm not exactly real. I'm a figment of your imagination."

Donald made a sarcastic comment "Oh. Well, that's a shocker."

Lena told him "I saw what happened between you and your sister in…"

Donald interrupted her "Don't finish that sentence! She's not my sister!"

Lena was surprised to hear him say that "Whoa! Buddy! Isn't that a little harsh to say?"

"Do you blame me for saying that?" Donald asked. He turned around and said "She's been blaming me non-stop over our parents' death! And when I needed her, she kept refusing to be there for me!"

Lena tried to think about what she was going to say next. She didn't want him to find out she was from the future. But she felt like there was no other option.

She started to speak "Look, Donald…" but before she could finish, a flash of light came in and she vanished.

Donald turned back and said "No, you…" only to see that Lena was gone, though Donald wasn't surprised "Right. Fairy… figment of my imagination."

Flashback ends

Present:

Lena finished telling him "And that's when I ended up back in the mansion."

Louie didn't know what to say. He zapped his crush to when Donald and Della fought over their parents' death. Louie was feeling more guilty than ever.

Louie said "Guys?" They turned their heads to Louie. "Please be honest with me. Am I…" He stopped as he didn't want to finish asking, making his brothers, his crush and his figurative sister worry. But Louie sucked it up and asked "Am I a part of this family?"

Huey, Dewey, Webby, Lena and Violet's eyes widened. They couldn't believe what they just heard. Louie was questioning his place in his own family.

Lena answered "Of course you are! Why would you ever think that you're not?!"

Louie explained "Because… my scheme I just pulled nearly killed all of you. You all nearly died because of my own selfishness."

Huey told him "Louie, we already told you we forgive you."

Webby asked him "Do you really think we would say you weren't part of this family, even after forgiving you?"

Louie reminded them "Mom didn't forgive me. Right now, she's probably thinking of some way to punish me. She's probably gonna turn this room into a prison to keep me in here, leave me behind in the mansion by myself, ruin my dream with Louie, Inc. and potentially Big Rock Candy Mountain, cut off my phone connection to everyone, take my weapons and leave me vulnerable to an invasion and threaten my place in the family. Honestly, at this point… I'd welcome it."

The kids were shocked and horrified at what Louie was thinking. His mom wouldn't go that far to punish him. But then again, Donald did tell them that Della overdo a lot of things. But they remembered that there's something Louie doesn't know.

"Louie, Mom's not actually gonna punish you." Dewey told him.

Louie looked up at them and said "What? What are you talking about? She's our mom, Dewey. Why wouldn't she punish me after what I did?"

Huey answered "Because she hasn't gotten to know who you are, yet. She heard Uncle Donald and Mrs. Beakley arguing about teaching her tough love now before he left."

"She heard him say that if she started punishment now, she would overdo it, probably in the way you just said, and ruin our relationship with her." Violet added.

Lena confirmed to Louie "They're telling the truth, Lou. We saw Della arguing with Mrs. B about punishing you. Mrs. B. was trying to push her to punish you, even after what Uncle Donald told her. But Della stuck to what Donald said. She really didn't want to ruin her relationship with you"

"To be honest, it's probably for the best that Della doesn't start punishment now."

Huey, Dewey, Louie, Lena and Violet turned to look at Webby who said that.

Webby continued "I love Granny, and I know she was trying to help, but she really has no business teaching Della tough love. She's only been here for two weeks, and she hasn't spent any time with you whatsoever, Louie. And the way Granny went about making her start punishment could have caused a lot of trouble and turned Della into someone I wouldn't recognize."

Louie couldn't believe what he heard. Was Della really refusing to punish him? Is she really going against her habit of doing without thinking?

Lena put his hand around Louie and said "The point is, Louie, you are a part of the family. Your time travelling scheme was just something you handled poorly."

Huey told him "Louie, no matter how well thought out they are, the sad truth about schemes… is that they're not guaranteed to go off without a hitch."

Dewey said "Your schemes before have done a lot more good than bad. None of us would even be here if it weren't for them."

Lena said "Louie, even after this timephoon, we still love you for who you are. None of us would want you to change over this."

Louie welled up with tears and hugged Lena as he cried quietly onto her shoulder. Lena returned the hug. Huey, Dewey, Webby and Violet gathered toward Louie and Lena and hugged them as well, comforting Louie.

Unbeknownst to the Duckburg Six, behind the closed door was Della, who was still in her knight armor, listening to their conversation. She heard everything they said. She could hear the tone in Louie's voice when he questioned his place in the family. She moved on to her own bedroom, so she would disturb them.

Once Della entered her room, she sighed. She remembered that she still doesn't know anything about her youngest son. She took the time to know Huey and Dewey, but nothing about Louie. And yet, she almost came close to grounding him. And what if she had punished him the way Louie said she would?

Della came to a decision "Alright. I can't wait for Louie to come to me. He and his brothers have been without a mother for 10 years and me appearing into their lives without warning really scared him. I'll talk to him about what happened in the morning. There's no way I'm gonna make the same mistake again."

Later that same evening:

It was now getting close to midnight. And everyone was asleep. The kids were sleeping in the boy's bedroom in their pajamas. Huey, Dewey and Louie were in their bunk beds while Webby, Lena and Violet slept on an air mattress as they decided to sleep in the triplet's room in case Louie needed comfort. They were sound asleep in the beds…

…except for Louie.

He was still wide awake, thinking about everything that transpired.. He kept tossing and turning, trying to sleep but he couldn't. He looked at his sleeping brothers and figurative sisters. He was still taking what they said to him to heart. But a part of him still feels like he should do the one thing he doesn't want to do… stop scheming for good.

He got up from his bed and made slow steps to not disturb their sleep. He grabbed his laptop and walked out the door. He made his way into the screening room, turned on a lamp and opened the laptop.

He pressed an icon that said video diary and spoke as it started to record "Hi, it's me, Louie. I know it's been a while since I've made a video journal entry. As you already know, things have been happening a lot recently; my mom coming back from the moon after 10 years when we've just came back from an adventure in Monstropolis, facing off against a giant golden moving statue, getting screwed over by Goldie, and so much else. But I did something terrible and it gave me a lot to re-evaluate." He continued his video diary as we cut to another family member.

Della was currently in her room, sleeping in her pajamas, consisting of a yellow t-shirt and purple pants. However, she was moving around in her bed. She was having a nightmare about something horrible. She was seeing what would have happened if she DID grounded Louie.

The dream started right at the part where Della said "You took off in the contraption without thinking of the consequences or the people you would hurt!"

Louie was hurt and outraged with his mother's unwillingness to forgive him despite his sincere apology and her hypocrisy considering she did a similar action years ago that broke the entire family. He angrily stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"I wonder who I got that from." he spat bitterly.

This one sentence causes everyone to gasp in shock and horror, especially Scrooge and Lena. Della felt her heart shatter and turned her head upset because she knew Louie was referring to when she took the Spear of Selene and blamed her brother for what happened to their parents. What really hurt was that this reference came from one of her own sons whom she worked hard to come back home for. Her face contorted with anger and disappointment.

In reality, the sleeping Della was trying not to look at what she was seeing.

"Ooooh!" Launchpad grimaced.

"See here young man-!

Della strictly holds up a hand, calling Beakely off, preparing to do what she feels must be done.

"Your little scheme to bypass the present almost cost us our future! This all stops now! You are GROUNDED! This word coming from his mother horrified Louie. No schemes! No treasures! And Louie Incorporated is done! Understand!?"

Louie reels back, completely hurt that his mother was punishing him shortly after coming back without even having spent time with him, knowing the kind of person he was and taking away his dream. He proceeds to apologize and beg for a chance of redemption.

"Look, let me clean up, okay! Uncle Scrooge! Mrs. B, come on!" he offered beggingly.

Scrooge and Beakely looked away in sadness, feeling that Louie needed this in order to learn.

"Dewey, Huey, Webby, Lena, Violet! Say something! She can't do this to me!" Louie cried to his brothers and honorary sisters.

The kids all looked down in sadness, not knowing what to do. Della pointed upstairs without giving him a chance.

"To…your…ROOM!" she demanded.

Louie was on the verge of tears. "Mom, I'm sorry! I really am! I never meant for this to happen! Please, give me a chance!" he begged.

"No! No chances! TO YOUR ROOM, NOW!" Della snapped.

"Bu-"

"I SAID NOW! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT!" Della yelled, furious.

Silence. That's all there was. The heartbroken Louie shoved his hands in his pockets, while aiming a hateful glare at his mother before gruffly taking his leave and kicking the Timetub.

"Stupid perfect scheme!" he muttered angrily.

Della was turning in her bed, horrified at what she was dreaming at "No. No. Why would I say that?"

But the dream didn't stop there. It got worse when she saw what happened the day after. She replaced his videos on his phones with lectures that plagued his guilt.

Then to make matters worse, she saw in the dream that she, Scrooge, Beakley, Launchpad and the five kids were going on Louie's dream adventure… without him.

"YOU'RE HEADING TO BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN?!" said Louie, standing out the door. "OH, I'M GOING!"

Della angrily shook her head. "No, you are still grounded." she said firmly.

Louie ran up to face his mom. "WHAT!? NO! WHAT!?" he shouted.

She kept refusing to forgive Louie as they argued about what happened with Della ending the argument "If you think I take pleasure in punishing you, you're wrong. You broke my heart."

It also reveals Della doing other awful stuff, programming the malfunctioning DT-87 to "babysit" Louie, but zapped him in the leg, caging him like a wild animal in his room that he made into a prison, taking his khopesh and friendship bracelet (the latter under Beakley's suggestion).

Huey and Violet also called Louie to check on him, something that Della didn't even bother doing.

"Violet and I wanted to show what we're seeing. You would love this place! We're floating up a river of fresh cherry pep!" Huey said.

"It's a lot more beautiful than we've imagined." Violet added.

"What!? Really!? Describe the flavor to me in intimate detail!" Louie excitedly demanded.

Huey answered "Alright, calm down."

Huey drank natural Pep! from a boot and prepared to describe the taste to his brother, only for Della to angrily appear on screen.

"Describe nothing! He hasn't earned it!" she said firmly.

"Mom, this is not any of your business!" Huey protested.

"Yeah. You're not being fair to him!" Violet agreed with Huey.

Before Della could argue with them, something then shined from the distance that Louie couldn't see but Della, Huey and Violet certainly could. Della gasped in awe.

"It's the Hobo King on a gold silk reclining throne! HE'S GLORIOUS!" she cried.

Now Louie was desperate. "Just shift the camera slightly to the right!" he cried.

With Della there there was nothing Huey and Violet could do and the former was forced to hang up, saying "We're sorry, Louie."

The dream showed Della saying something through the DT-87 "Ethics is concerned with how your actions negatively affect those around you…" Louie groaned and Della was about to say something that would hurt him.

"Look, your plans… your schemes…"

But the dream suddenly shifts to revealing that she also cut off his phone connection.

Della started to sweat in shock, horror and disgust at what she was doing in her dream, clutching her pillow.

Della saw the dream become worse as several of Scrooge and Donald's enemies invaded the mansion, including Glomgold, Magica, Ma Beagle and the beagle boys, Mark Beaks and Don Karnage. Della saw in the dream Louie getting the first upper hand, but the villains electrocuted him and kidnapped him in the process.

The villain, now at the bin, fought the family and they revealed what Della did to Louie

Dream Della told them Louie "deserved" to be grounded like that, leading her and even Beakley to be chewed out by Huey, Dewey, Webby, Lena, Violet and Scrooge, with the latter even shouting Della's full name.

They revealed Louie, beaten and bruised, and revealed they forced him to help them win the bet, under the threat that he would kill the family and keyblade wielders. They beat them up even more.

Della was almost on the verge of waking up from this nightmare and had tears in her eyes, saying "No… no…"

After everything was settled when Louie conned the villain and saved Scrooge's fortune, leading them to flee, he chewed out Della for how she "punished" him, telling her that he almost died because of her and that she was the WORST thing that happened to him.

He even berated Scrooge and Beakley for not doing anything to stop Della and especially at the latter for suggesting Della take his friendship bracelet. And he even chewed out his brothers and figurative sisters for not sticking up for him, especially at his brothers after all the time he stood up for them and at Lena for not doing anything, even after the kindness he gave to her, even going as far as saying that she was exactly like her Aunt Magica.

He even disowned his brothers and broke off his friendship with Webby, Lena and Violet and ended their team saying "Consider the Duckburg Six officially over!"

And Louie completely disowned Della and declared his hatred for her as he left.

But in the end of the nightmare, Della heard two sentences at the same time that horrified her: one sentence that she, herself, said in the DT-87 as if it was the right thing to say and the other sentence where Louie declared his hatred to Della.

"Look, your plans…"

"Until then…"

"Your schemes…"

"…we may be related…"

"They only lead to bad things for your family."

"But I am not your friend or your son…"

"If you wanna be a part of this family…"

…and you're not my MOM!"

"…you've gotta stop."

"I hate you… DELLA DUCK!"

Those two sentences alone ended the nightmare as Della immediately opened her eyes and quickly bolted up in her bed, as she gave a short scream. She was sweating and was heavily breathing in fear of what she saw with tears in her eyes.

She placed her hand on her head, saying to herself "That wasn't real… None of that was real."

But she suddenly heard a door close from outside of her bedroom. She stepped out of her room to check on the kids.

Before she entered, she took a deep breath, hoping the kids were still there. She opened the door quietly and looked in there and saw the kids, including Louie, asleep, much to her relief. She also sees Louie's laptop open (he finished his video diary and went to sleep). She slowly walked across the kids, to not wake them, to take a look at the laptop. She sees what looks like video diary entrees, kinda like her heartfelt messages that she sent when she was on the moon.

She knew it would invade his privacy but she needed to know for herself what Louie's really like. She took the computer and took it to her bedroom so they wouldn't hear. She opened the laptop and pressed the video diary.

The first video started on the day after the Shadow War (an event that Della doesn't know about) and Louie spoke "Hi. My name is Louie Duck. This is my first video diary as I thought it would help me process my thoughts on the day. A lot has happened to me in the past 6 months. My brothers and I met Uncle Scrooge, Beakley, Webby and Launchpad, we experienced new adventures and faced new villains and I met my crush, Lena. But then we found out about what happened to our mom, that she decided to abandon us for a joy ride on a rocket before we even hatched. Now after we left our great uncle upon finding out, the Shadow War happened and…" Louie in the video paused and Della was confused until Louie finished "…Lena died."

Della gasped at what he said.

"I don't know how I can move on from this, but I'm sure Lena would want me to live my life. And I'm gonna do what I can to do so." Louie finished as the first video diary ended.

Della couldn't believe what she heard. What did he mean when they met Uncle Scrooge during the past 6 months? Did Donald and Uncle Scrooge not raise them together?

She turned on another video diary and Louie began to speak "So this has been a crazy day. Turns out suggesting a game night to Uncle Scrooge was a big mistake. Several of my family members got shrunk to the size of an ant and we nearly got killed by these miniature psychopaths called the Gyropuddlians, which Gyro named them after himself."

Della paused the video and made a deadpan thought at Gyro's arrogance "Of course Gyro would name something after himself."

She continued the video and Louie continued "But with the help of Huey, I was able to pull a scheme to defeat their leader and shrink back to his ant size and save my family. And after that, Uncle Scrooge told me he was impressed with how I'm able to see all the angles of every situation and said I could become a billionaire, just like him. So I'm creating my own little dream business. I'm calling it Louie, Incorporated!"

Della turned on the next video and said "Ok, so the best thing has happened. Lena was actually alive. Me, Webby and her new friend Violet saved her from this place called the Shadow Realm! At first, I wasn't sure of Violet. It felt like she was trying to replace Lena. That and she purposely ticks me off by calling me by my real name. When I saw her with Magica's amulet, I was close to strangling her to death until Webby got me to back off. After being explained everything I realized maybe Vi's not so bad. She's a hummingbird version of Huey except a girl and more into magic. When we got into the Shadow Realm, it was so weird. It was basically just the real world but darker. Beside Lena, there wasn't anyone there. It's no wonder Lena hated being there. Anyway, Lena was brought back here and she's finally free of Magica! So I'm creating this video diary to introduce her!" He brings Lena into the video diary. "Go ahead, Lena! Introduce yourself."

"Ok. Ok. Relax, Lou. Hey. Name's Lena. It's great to be out of the shadow realm." Lena introduced herself in a chilled expression. "So Louie, you told me you were starting your own business?"

Louie answered "That's right. Louie, Inc. I know this is a little out of the blue, but I was wondering if you would be happy to be my vice president."

Lena was surprised. "Really?"

Louie answered "Of course. I mean, if you don't want to, I completely understand…"

Lena hugged a shocked Louie and answered "I'd love to, Louie." This made Louie return the hug.

Della turned on the next video and revealed Louie in another one "So after we went with the keyblade heroes into a world full of monsters that scare kids as a job, well used to scare kids as a job, we unexpectedly met our mother, Della Duck, who was apparently on the moon for 10 years. Or was it 11? Anyways it was a lot to take in, but after she showed how genuine her remorse and after she saved me from the golden gilded man, I'm now willing to give her a chance. A chance that includes love, respect and appreciation. I'm sure that she'll love to know the schemes I have done that helped this family. How I am able to see all the angles. Maybe she'll even want to see what kind of scheme I can pull."

Della couldn't help but tear up. She could tell how genuine Louie was. How he was willing to give her a chance and she almost came close to losing that chance.

The mother was about to close the laptop until she heard Louie's voice in the laptop again.

"I did something terrible and it gave me a lot to re-evaluate."

She opened the laptop back up and saw Louie with a face of sadness, remorse and self-hatred, complete with tears in his eyes. It was the exact video diary entree Louie recently recorded.

Louie continued "I stole a time tub and took treasure from the past during a storm. And it created a timephoon that brought people from the past. And even worse… it zapped my own family and friends into the past. Even after I fixed the problem, Mom wasn't happy with me in the slightest. She said that I didn't think about the consequences or the people I would hurt. And while I would've called her out on her hypocrisy, I didn't because she's right. I nearly destroyed time, space and my own family. I mean I almost lost Lena again, because of my own doing. I'm still surprised that my brothers and sisters told me that Mom wasn't gonna punish me."

Della paused the video for a moment and sighed in relief to herself "Oh, thank goodness. I didn't ground him."

Della played the video again and saw Louie continue "It doesn't matter anyway, because the timephoon got me thinking. My schemes have caused me a lot of trouble recently. Scheming is the one thing I'm good at in this family and all my schemes have ever done was lead to bad things for my family. I know what I have to do now."

Della was worried about what he was gonna say.

Louie declared what he was gonna do "Tomorrow morning, I'm gonna tell everyone that I'm going to shut down Louie, Inc. for good. And I'm gonna tell them I'm gonna stop scheming…"

Della's eyes widened upon hearing as Louie finished his sentence.

"…permanently." (15)

The video diary ended. Della had to take all of this in. Louie had a gift. Scheming is what makes him a part of this family and he was going to give all that up after one scheme that went wrong.

Della donned a face of serious determination saying "I can't let this happen. I won't let him turn himself into something he's not."

Dining Room:

As morning was approaching McDuck Manor, Della, in her primary attire, sat at the table in the dining room, waiting for Louie so she could talk to him about what happened and apologize for yelling at him in front of the family.

As she took a sip of her coffee, she saw the kids, minus Louie, coming into the dining room, also in their normal outfits.

Della was a little nervous to speak to them, due to whether or not Louie told them yet, but decided to speak "um… morning, kids."

The kids responded "Morning Mom/Della" Huey and Dewey called her the former while Team Magic called her the latter.

Della asked them "Did you guys sleep well after last night?"

Huey answered "Yes. We slept fine, Mom."

Della noticed Louie wasn't with them and asked them "Is Louie still asleep?"

Dewey responded "Yeah, he is."

Violet added, "We thought it would be better to let him sleep after last night."

Della was worried that he already told them he was gonna stop scheming and decided to ask them "Has Louie… said anything odd to you guys after he went into his room?"

"Well, we did talk to Louie to comfort him after that. He was very distraught about what his scheme caused." Lena confirmed.

Della was about to tell them what Louie was gonna do but before she could, they heard someone speak.

"You all are up already?"

They saw Scrooge, Beakley and Launchpad come into the dining room, in their primary attires. It was Scrooge who spoke.

Scrooge continued to speak. "Since you're already up, Della, Beakley and I talked about what you said the other night."

Bentina added "We've decided to accept your decision to not start punishment now."

Della was relieved to hear that "Well, that's good to know."

"And I'm also sorry for trying to push you to punish Louie." Bentina added this in remorse for last night. "I shouldn't have tried to go against Donald's warning."

Della told the retired spy "It's ok, Beakley. I know you were trying to help."

Scrooge asked Della and the kids, "Is Louie up yet?"

Webby answered "No, he's still asleep."

Launchpad noticed something "Uh, guys?

Lena stated "We didn't want Louie to stress out if we woke him up."

Launchpad points out what he sees "Louie's already in here."

They all turned to see Louie, in his primary outfit as well, entering the dining room.

Scrooge asked him "Louie. How are you holding up from last night?"

Louie was hesitant to answer "Well… not great. I didn't really sleep that well."

Lena can see in his face that something was off about him "Is something on your mind, greenie?"

Louie took a deep breath and said "Well, last night made me do a lot of re-evaluating."

Della's eyes widened in worry and horror, knowing what he was gonna do.

Everyone else was confused by what he meant as Violet asked him "What do you mean, Llewellyn?"

Louie responded "Well, my schemes recently have caused a lot of trouble, lately."

Scrooge reminded the green triplet "Lad, we already said we forgive you. We know you've learned a lesson from all this."

"It's not just the timephoon, Uncle Scrooge." Louie explained his thoughts. "It was my other schemes that were disasters from the start. The game night schemes, the Harpies, teaming up with Goldie. They've led to bad things. Not just for me, but for my own family. And I don't even take that into consideration."

Then, much to everyone's shock, Launchpad said this "Well, that's the thing about schemes, Louie. There's not always gonna be a lot of well-handled ones. There's gonna be at least one poorly-handled scheme in someone's life. And taking treasure from the past was just that, a scheme that was handled poorly."

Everyone in the room was shocked to hear such wise words from Launchpad, of all people.

Although Scrooge agreed with the pilot, saying "He's right, Louie. Not all your schemes have done bad. Your schemes have done a lot more good than bad, like the game night fiasco."

Louie, still feeling like he should do what he said he'd do, said "Well, either way, it still won't change anything. If I keep pulling schemes, what's to keep them from ending up like the timephoon?"

He doesn't notice his mother's increasing fear and worry for him as she said in her thoughts "No, Louie, don't think that. I can't let him do what he's about to do."

As Louie walked towards a window, he continued "Each scheme I do in the future will only lead to bad things for my family. My family will end up dead or just make them hate me, to the point where my ties will be severed with everyone. That's why I came to a decision."

Della's eyes widened in horror at what he was about to do. She knew right away that she couldn't stand there this time. It was time for her to step in as a mother and stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life.

Louie prepared to tell them what he was going to do "I think it'd be in everyone's best interest if I…"

Before Louie could finish, Della pulled him towards her, turned him around and said "...let your mom help him see the angles you can't!" while raising a determined fist.

Louie pulled away from his mom's grip, confused and dumbfounded "What?!"

Lena approached Louie and hugged him, assuring him "I could never hate you, Louie. The fact that you were willing to fix your mistake means enough to me." (16)

Della spoke to his youngest son "Louie, the timephoon nearly took a mental toll on you. I should've taken that into consideration and I shouldn't have yelled at you in front of the family. I almost grounded you when I barely knew anything about you. I wasn't gonna make that kind of mistake."

Louie was touched at this. Was she actually supporting him? He thought she would have punished him the way he thought she would for sure. He didn't know what to say.

Before he could say anything to his mother though, Scrooge stepped in and told Louie "Speaking of grounded, Beakley and I talked this over. We do forgive you for what you did and we admire you for willing to clean up your mess. But I'm afraid you still have to be punished. Starting now, you are grounded until this house is fixed, and you have to help. And Louie, Inc. will be put on hiatus until your grounding is over."

Bentina added "In addition, we will be postponing Big Rock Candy Mountain until your punishment is fulfilled. However, we will not go without you."

Scrooge was dumbfounded "What?! My bet with Glomgold is over in 2 days! We didn't agree to post…"

Beakley punched Scrooge in the arm and whispered to him "Shut up!"

Louie, a little upset about still being punished, he understood and was relieved to know that BIg Rock Candy Mountain was postponed. "Fair enough."

Suddenly, the family heard what sounded like hovering. Was someone coming? Were there invaders coming?

The family came outside and saw Don Karnage's gigantic plane approaching the mansion. Inside of it was Glomgold, Magica, Ma Beagle and the beagle boys, Mark Beaks and Don Karnage, giving an evil laugh.

Glomgold spoke over a speaker on the plane "Scrooge McDuck, I'm here to fight you and your family! I have assembled the biggest baddest family to help me win the bet!"

Annoyed at Glomgold's scheme to win the bet, Scrooge groaned "For the love of Duckburg…" He went into the house, saying "I'll be right back."

Glomgold continued to speak "We are invading your home to defeat every member of your family! If any of them are still standing, we will force them onto our side and hold them ransom unless you forfeit the bet!" Scrooge came back outside with Donald's bazooka. "I will win this bet AND your company with this evil scheme! AND FLINTHEART GLOMGOLD WILL BE THE RICHEST DUCK IN THE WORLD AND VILLAINS WILL RULE OVER THE ENTIRE TOWN OF DUCKBURG!"

The villains gave an evil mechanical laugh but failed to notice Scrooge aiming the bazooka at the plane. Scrooge fired the ammo at the plane, which made a direct hit. As the plane was now on fire, Team Glomgold panicked, trying to land somewhere safe. But they couldn't as the plane landed right on a near open field and exploded..

Scrooge put away the bazooka saying "Well that takes care of the problem." Everyone gave a horrified look at Scrooge, who was unfazed and said "Oh, don't worry. I'm sure they're stll alive."

Glomgold spoke from afar "WE'RE STILL ALIVE! BUT BADLY INJURED!"

"See?" Scrooge stated bluntly before going back into the mansion. "Now we need to get this place cleaned up. That storm last night did a number on this house."

Everyone went back inside as Lena gave a one arm hug to Louie saying "Don't worry about all this, Lou. We're gonna help you through this punishment."

Lena followed the others, leaving Della and Louie in the foyer for them to talk this through.

Louie was still shocked at his mom for stopping him from saying he was gonna stop scheming for good and asked "Why did you do that?" That question caught Della's attention. "I thought having to stop scheming for good was what you would have wanted."

Della bent down to Louie and told him "It's not, Louie. I don't want you to give up a great gift you have. The reason why I did that is because out of your brothers, you seem to be the one who acts the most like me. I may not have been as in love with riches as you, but I loved to see the angles in every scenario. I was always considered the sharp one."

Louie was amazed "Really?"

Della confirmed "Really. In fact, you'd be surprised at how much trouble some of my own schemes have caused. One of them almost ended with a dog losing his hair."

Della and Louie chuckled at that.

The pilot mother continued what she was saying "Louie, I know things are scary with me entering into your lives without warning and I have a lot to learn about being a parent. But it would be so cool to know about your abilities, your dream company, and your personal interests." Louie was touched to see how much Della wanted to know about him "But no more hiding your schemes, ok? You have to take care to not hurt the people you love. And like I said earlier, I'll be here to help you see the angles you can't."

Louie smiled at his mother's genuine assurance "Ok, mom." He and Della shared a hug with the latter kissing his forehead. "I love you, Mom."

Della returned the affection "I love you too, Louie." They broke the hug and Della led Louie to the hallway "Now, let's meet with the others. They probably started in the garage already."

Outside the garage, the family was cleaning up the mess that the garage had. Beakley was sweeping the floor and driveway while Della and Louie were picking up branches that broke from the trees due to the storm.

Louie saw a broken branch that was lodged into one of the windows. He jumped three times in order to get the branch out. But when he jumped a fourth time, he felt himself get higher this time, just enough to get to the branch. He looked down and saw Della holding him. They smiled at each other before Louie grabbed the branch and pulled to get it unstuck. Both Louie and Della used as much strength as they could to pull it out. They pulled it out of the window and they stumbled onto the pile of branches they made. They both got up and looked at each other to see that they both had a few leaves stuck to their beaks. They both found it funny though and shared a laugh.

Dewey, Webby and Lena were about putting other stuff into an unused box. Louie soon joined them to talk to them.

Dewey acknowledged his younger brother "Hey, little bro. How did your little talk with Mom go?"

Louie answered "It went well. She said she wants to know a lot about me. We were able to have an understanding about my schemes."

Webby smiled at him "That's good to know. Sorry, you still got grounded, though."

Louie wasn't worried at least "Aw, don't worry. Being grounded isn't all that bad. I'm really glad Scrooge and Mrs. B. postpone Big Rock Candy Mountain. Though I think Mrs. B. added that part without Scrooge knowing."

Lena put her arm around Louie "Well, I think it's for the best that she did. I can't imagine the laziest quest of all time being fun without you there."

Louie returned the one arm hug. At that moment, Huey and Violet came into the garage with the former holding an envelope.

"HA! The woodchucks got our report" Huey yelled in an excited tone.

"I think they loved what we've filled out." Violet said in a calm tone.

Webby praised the two nerd/junior woodchucks "I'm proud of you two. You wrote about real caveducks. The junior woodchuck guidebook will be a better book for it."

Louie agreed "Webby's right, you guys. From what Dewey and Webby told me on what you guys wrote, that report's gonna be a shoo-in for sure."

Huey and Violet opened the letter and read it. However, their faces become filled with shock and disappointment.

"Rejected?!" Huey exclaimed.

"Wildly outlandish?!" Violet yelled in shock.

Huey and Violet lowered their heads in disappointment and Louie, Webby and Lena gave them sympathetic looks. But Dewey comforted them saying "Some people just aren't ready for the truth."

Knowing he was responsible for bringing Bubba here, Louie walked to Huey and Violet and apologized "I'm sorry, guys. You two would've gotten into the guidebook with your original report if I hadn't brought Bubba here."

Huey and Violet raised their heads up and looked at Louie. "Oh, don't worry, Louie. In the end, it was great to meet an actual caveduck." Huey told him.

"And it did give Huey and I a chance to bond over a woodchuck assignment." Violet said, making Louie smile at the two.

The Duckburg Sx all saw Scrooge looking at his canes, looking for something. "Where did the cane of the First of Clan McDuck go?"

Louie realized "Oh, crap! I must have sent it back to the past with Bubba."

Webby also came to a realization "Wait. You don't think that Bubba is…?"

Huey commented on Webby's supposed theory "He was pretty advanced."

Dewey and Webby pondered "Tougher…?"

Huey and Violet suggested "Smarter…?"

Louie and Lena wondered "Sharper…?"

Could Bubba really be the First of Clan McDuck? The kids instantly brushed it off, thinking it was crazy. As if there was no way Bubba could be related to the McDuck Family.

Caveduck Era:

Back in Bubba's timeline, the caveduck was making something out of stone. It was a top hat made out of stone, similar to Scrooge's top hat.

Bubba held up the hat and muttered "Oooh. Bubba Bubba."

Bubba grabbed the club he took with him and walked up to a hill. He put on the top hat and stared at his home with a proud expression on his face.

Post credit:

A few days after the timephoon, the house was fixed and Louie's punishment was lifted. Donald and the rest of the keyblade wielders came back from the Pride Lands, along with some new wielders and a few friends from said world. They found out what happened in Duckburg and they revealed that they were also zapped into different time periods in the past (or future in Goofy's case, but they don't know that yet). While they were upset at Louie for almost destroying time and space and zapping into various time periods, they did go easy on him since he still did clean up his mess.

However, Della needed to know something from Uncle Scrooge and Donald.

Della approached his brother and uncle and asked "Donald? Uncle Scrooge? Can we go somewhere private? I need to ask you both something.

Scrooge answered "Sure lass, we can head over to my office."

Donald, Della and Scrooge entered the latter's office and the old duck closed the door so they wouldn't hear.

Donald started with a compliment to his twin "So Della, I see you've been getting along with the boys quite well lately. And I am very happy to see you are learning to love them before showing them some tough love."

Della was dumbfounded "What?"

Donald smirked "You didn't think I didn't see you eavesdropping when I was telling Mrs. B. to not teach you tough love, did you?"

"Guess I wasn't so stealthy." Della thought to herself. "But that isn't why I wanted to talk to both of you. It has to do with something I might have learned from Louie."

Donald and Scrooge's faces turn grim as they figure where this is going.

Della took a deep breath and asked them "What exactly happened between the two of you after I got lost in space in the Spear of Selene?"

Donald and Scrooge looked at each other, not sure how to tell her. But they knew they had to do it.

Scrooge started explaining "Della, this might be tough for you to hear, but Donald and I had a very big argument after you got lost in space and all connection was lost when I was trying to guide you through that cosmic storm."

Donald sighed sadly "I regret a lot of things I did that day. Between our argument and then I decided to walk out on you because I blamed Uncle Scrooge for you getting lost and being the reason why the ship was built." Donald had a few tears in his eyes. "I was nervous to have Scrooge in the lives of the boys and wanted to protect them from experiencing any bad to happen to them like you because after that day I felt like I failed you big time. I failed to do the one thing I swore to always do. Protect my little sister."

Della was shocked at what they were saying and asked his brother "Donald, are you… saying that you raised Huey, Dewey and Louie alone for 10 years? Without any help from anyone else in the family?"

Donald answered "I still had our Grandma Duck babysit them from time to time whenever I needed to work overtime since I bounced from job to job just so I had enough money to feed the boys and myself. And I did also have some occasion help from Daisy, Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. But for the most part, yes. Those boys were the only thing I had left to remember you and I swore before they hatched I wouldn't let anything happen to them."

Della couldn't believe what she heard. Donald raising her sons by himself was true. She turned to Scrooge and asked him "What about you, Uncle Scrooge?"

Scrooge sighed "I don't think you'd believe me if I said this, lass, but I spent a large portion of my fortune trying to find you and rescue you from wherever you were. I was spending it on the search to the point where I nearly went bankrupt."

"B… Ba… Bankrupt?!" Della gasped.

"Yes. I wasn't going to stop, but my board of directors shut down the search and literally dragged me out of the control room. And I became a broken old miser after that for a decade." Scrooge confirmed.

Della feels mortified over her actions and knowing she was the reason the family split apart. "I can't believe it. I… broke my own family."

Donald comforted her "It is alright Della, Uncle Scrooge and I made up and said our apologies after the Shadow War. We have put the events behind us, and now that you are back, this family is whole again and I couldn't have asked for anything more."

Della still felt horrible about what she did "But that still doesn't take away what I did, I left you a broken man and you practically lost your whole identity. I am assuming that since you hid from Uncle Scrooge the kids never knew you were a mage either."

Donald sighed "Unfortunately, you are correct. I hung up my staff, knowing that I needed to live a normal and safe life without any outside dangers involved."

Despite feeling remorse for her action, she was grateful for what Donald did. "I guess that is why the boys see you as the closest thing to a parental figure in their life because you were the only one who did so and practically gave up everything to do so. I can't thank you enough for doing so Donald. The kids turned out very well."

Donald told his twin "You're welcome about that. The kids needed a parent and I was more than willing to step in to fill in that role. But I am sorry for not telling them about the Spear of Selene to them sooner so they knew the truth of what happened to you. I guess I was just too traumatized by the event that I tried brushing it aside for all those years. I just hope I did enough to make them happy because sometimes I worry they never really looked up to me until they revealed who us Ducks truly are and I am a mage."

"I think you did more than plenty for them. If you want to know how they felt about your parenting towards them, why don't you just ask them." Della assured her brother

Donald smiled "Thanks Della, you're the best sister I can ask for and why I always say you make up the other half of who I am."

Scrooge stepped in and gave his own saying. "Della, I know you weren't there, but when Donald first came back to the manor with the boys, I never wanted to truly show it, but I was actually truly excited to just see the three of them because I missed you all and the manor felt very empty. I am terribly sorry to the both of you for putting you two through a lot over the last eleven years and hope you can make it up to this old miser. If there's one person who thinks they failed, it's me. I raised you from when you were little ducklings after your parents tragically died to who you are now. Can you accept an apology from this old miser?"

Duck Twins smiled at their old Scottish uncle "Apology accepted, Uncle Scrooge."

The three shared a group hug now that they know the truth, and all three needed to get things off of their chests.

The End!

My First fanfiction story and first DuckTales story done! Timephoon is fixed! Della and Louie's conflict is resolved! And Glomgold's team is already taken care of. No lasers, no caging someone like a wild animal, no taking away dreams and no threatening Louie's place in the family.

Kingdom Hearts: Shrek
Kingdom Hearts: Sonic Adventure

Both of which starring the Duckburg Six (Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena and Violet)

Special thanks to:
J. Tom for the dialouge between Donald and Beakley from KH3 chapter 48 and suggestion on the chewing out scene.
