Neb: Vincent had made his way to Port Royal for a deep sea treasure hunt. Who else would he run into that Scrooge McDuck, the head of the McDuck manor. The two of them had agreed to an alliance where they would go on this treasure hunt as equals, though to be honest Vincent remains skeptical about that. Still Scrooge had the resources to provide for this excavation and Vincent was working on setting his pride aside and allowing others to help him. I do not own Ducktales, this is a fanfic. I hope you enjoy.

The two adventurers could have used Scrooge's more expensive yacht for their expedition, but given this was supposed to be a partnership Scrooge agreed that they'd use Fisher and Mann's fishing boat instead with Scrooge's diving equipment. He stated there was more of a charm behind their old boat anyways.

"Well that's kind of you Mr. McDuck," Mann blushed at the compliment. "But we won't be insulted if Vincent decides to use your boat instead."

"Nonsense, the lad has a good point about everyone bringing something to the table in a partnership," Scrooge pointed out. "He worked hard fishing for the two of you. Earning some extra cash and building a strong bond, it's only fair I let him show the fruits of his labor. That being said he still didn't have enough money for the diving gear, which is where I come in. Of course I could do all this on my own with all of my own equipment, but that wouldn't be any fun."

"So where is your yacht anyways?", Vincent wondered.

"Oh, um it's docked on another side of the island," Scrooge explained. "I suppose using your boat also saves me a trip."

"Right," Vincent responded glaring at Scrooge as if he had something to hide. "So how are the kids doing? Did they have a successful sleep over?"

"They did indeed," Scrooge nodded. "To be honest I didn't pay much attention to them during that time, but they did tell me that Lena is starting to regain control of her abilities. It turns out that she was being messed with in her sleep."

"Magica," Vincent figured.

"Aye," Scrooge nodded. "You catch on quick lad."

Vincent figured that meant Violet was right. That it was a sleeping issue that was causing Lena to have little control of her powers. The problem was that none of them, new it was because of an external force messing with Lena. "I should have known," Vincent mumbled. He remembered when he was having sleeping problems back when he was at the hospital. He figured those issues was because of the stressful month he was having and because he didn't like hospitals, but it could have been that Magica was messing with him also. His own nightmares didn't even stop until Lena came back from the Shadow Realm.

"There was no way you could have know lad," Scrooge pointed out as he grabbed Vincent's shoulder. "Now come, we have an adventure to get to."


Upon the fishing boat, Vincent and Scrooge had put on the diving gear, getting ready for exploring the sunken ship graveyard.

"So how do you know this place has treasure?", Scrooge asked Vincent. "All the ship graveyards had been excavated already and stripped of their riches."

"Well it was only based on theories that I found this spot," Vincent explained. "Back at the manor I was digging through your old maps and I compared your old diver logs to some history books I read about the great pirate era. I also read up on some English vs Spanish battles along the Caribbean around that time also. So I was able to mark down the already checked places and used process of elimination to find areas where battles occurred that your company hadn't already been to."

"Very clever," Scrooge admitted. "But there must have been a reason you picked this particular place. Any particular pirate's you were following in my old history books?"

Vincent shook his head. "Not pirates, treasure. Specifically the Amulet of Quetzalcoatl."

"The Snake God of life," Scrooge gawked. "How did you learn about this amulet? How do you know it's here?"

"Well that's where my own research came in," Vincent explained. "I was only holding bits and pieces of information when studying ancient artifacts back at the shop Artifact. Pieces of information like who was in possession of what items during what time period. To be fare, that information didn't exactly tell me their wear about, but I did learn that an old Spanish captain was in possession of this amulet who sailed the Rosa De La Reina. Your books on the great pirate era filled me in on what happened to the Rosa De La Reina, that it was sunk by Red Feathered Johnny one of Yellow Beak's old rivals."

"So you made great use of your time in my manor," Scrooge figured.

"I had nothing but time when I left the hospital," Vincent explained. "Your house keeper wouldn't let me leave the house because the Shadow Syndicate might be waiting outside. The only reason she let me go now was because I have control of my abilities again. But hey, she was just looking out for me."

"Well she met your father and... you know what no need to talk about family drama," Scrooge went on. "The point is lad, you managed to find an adventure looking in places even I never thought to look. Perhaps there's hope for the Treasure Hunting Mage after all."

Vincent smiled at Scrooge who smiled back and then the two of them got ready to be put in the water.

"Alright, there won't be any turning back," Scrooge spoke up. "Even if we don't find your amulet, we won't leave unless we find something worth while aboard the sunken Spanish ships."

"Right," Vincent nodded with determination.

"Let's go," the both called out.
