Neb: I do not own Ducktales. Vincent had finally learned how to use his mage crystals in a way that wasn't destruction magic. It had been a long journey, but his goal had been achieved. Of course, this meant he was no longer a destruction mage, which had been true for a long while. With his new found powers, Vincent will have to find a new path, now that both Chaos and Order had been abandoned.
"Mr. Elite," a jackal woman wearing robes spoke up. "What a surprise?"
"Jackie, it's been ages," the deer man smiled as he entered an opening in a dark forest.
"What brings you to my humble abode," Jackie lowered her head.
"Humble abode?", Mr. Elite questioned. "I could have sworn you were based in Egypt."
"We had to move," Jackie explained. "Scrooge McDuck had reigned hell down on our last base, and since then S.H.U.S.H had been all over that area."
"Ah yes, he is a worthy adversary," Mr. Elite admitted.
"More like one of my members was biting off more than she could chew," Jackie growled.
"Rosina Evermore," Mr. Elite assumed.
"How'd you know?" Jackie wondered.
"I did have to free the bear brothers from her control once before," Mr. Elite explained. "Rosina has a talent for making enemies."
"Her controlling nature is going to get her killed," Jackie admitted. "Or worse."
"Worse?", Mr. Elite questioned.
"There's a man running around with what seems like infinite resources," Jackie explained. "The magic thief, Phantom Blot."
"Ah yes, the F.O.W.L agent," Mr. Elite nodded. "I agreed to stay out of their way as long as they stay out of mine. So where are your sisters?"
"Hayley went to go help Rosina with her own Duck problem," Jackie rolled her eyes. "The rest of my sisters are scattered for the time being. We are more powerful together, but we are a bigger target at the same time."
"You really do fear this Phantom Blot," Mr. Elite chuckled.
"Don't laugh at me," she growled as dark fire emerged in the palm of her hand. "Even alone I am still head of my coven."
Mr. Elite created a fireball of his own in his hand. "I wield the Mask of Helios," Mr. Elite grinned. "Fire doesn't hurt me anymore."
"Did you only come here to mock me?", Jackie grunted as she lowered her magic.
"On the contrary," Mr. Elite grinned. "I could use a witch of your caliber. You see, a lot of my warriors seem to keep falling to this pesky destruction mage. While I do wish to battle him one on one, I can't help but feel his allies will get in my way."
"I faced this issue as well," Jackie admitted. "Rosina had the boy in the palm of her hands and then Scrooge McDuck freed him from her control somehow."
"That's happened twice now," Mr. Elite explained.
"T-twice?", Jackie yelped. "A mage shouldn't have that kind of power."
"He is growing beyond his mage shackles," Mr. Elite shook his head. "Ever since Magica declared war on Duckburg the boys powers only grew."
"Perhaps some of her power leaked over to him?", Jackie figured. "When she was defeated?"
"You know more about the rules of magic then I do," Mr. Elite sighed. "Vincent's evolution could be do to a number of things now that he has fallen into the realm of chaos."
"Perhaps I should keep a closer eye on the boy," Jackie admitted. "Though I don't believe he can be controlled."
"I never wanted to control him," Mr. Elite shook his head. "I only wish for a rival to face me when I'm conquering the world. F.O.W.L lacks true focus and vision to be this rival of mine and Magica is without power. So I am settling for the brat."
"He's not going to be able to win," Jackie figured as she waved her hand over a bowl of water. An image of Vincent appeared. Vincent was in Duckberg hiding behind a car as explosives were going off. "He's in combat right now."
Mr. Elite looked in the bowl with her and saw a battle going on with the Beagle Boys. "Against common thugs." Mr. Elite stepped closer to the B.O.W.L and saw Gizmoduck and a police woman were both fighting the Beagle Boys as well. "And on queue, there are his allies. The Duck family is just too big for the current Shadow Syndicate."
"Why is he teaming up with a robot?", Jackie wondered.
Mr. Elite rolled his eyes at that comment and then leaned back against a tree. "How about his 'sister' Webby," Mr. Elite wondered. "Where is she right now?"
Jackie waved her hand across the bowl again and revealed Webby was being dragged along by a green duck boy as they were being attacked by a sea monster. "Depressed I guess."
"I wonder what put her in that state," Mr. Elite laughed. "She seemed to have everything together last I saw her."
"Are those merfolk?", Jackie gawked. "Did they find the Harp of Mervana? Why isn't Vincent with them, I thought he collected Artifacts?"
"Perhaps he had no interest in this one?", Mr. Elite figured. Mr. Elite looked at the monster they were fighting and grimaced. "Disgusting brute."
"That's his loss," Jackie shook her head. "That harp has the power to find the truth. No one can lie when she is around."
"Useful," Mr. Elite smiled. "I may be able to use that at some point. But no, I did tell F.O.W.L I'd stay out of their way. They want those missing artifacts."
"So what are you waiting for them to fail before you strike?", Jackie wondered.
"Exactly," Mr. Elite nodded. "Will you help me?"
"Get vengeance on the brat?", Jackie laughed as the bowl moved back to Vincent. "Of course." The two of them shook hands and grinned at each other. "Just be weary of Rosina, even if you make a deal with me, doesn't mean she'll fall in line with you."
"I'm aware of her problematic behavior," Mr. Elite laughed. "No need to worry, you and the rest of your sisters will be enough. We will bring this world to it's knees and begin a new era of Shadows."
Webby hung her head low as she entered the manor. She put on a brave face for the rest of her family, but she couldn't believe what had happened during the Mervana trip. Her grandmother was lying to her. The woman who raised her had been lying to her for who knows how long. She made her believe that the world was good and there was no reason for deceit. "I can't believe it." She was ahead of everyone else, they were still back at the Submarine collecting the riches they earned from their last adventure. Webby had run ahead of them to be alone.
She let out a sigh again before heading upstairs. That was when she heard rustling of papers. "Vincent?", Webby wondered. Vincent was always messing with maps and reading up on artifacts, it was probably him. She saw a light coming from her room and then smiled as she headed to it. "Vincent, you won't believe the day I had. I need to know, you never lie to me do you?" She headed into her room and saw Vincent wasn't there, but another young duck girl about her age, maybe closer to Lena's age messing with her family tree board.
"Um", the girl responded in panic as she stared back at Webby.
Webby looked at her in shock, but then turned her head towards the picture that was taken down from the board. It was a picture of Vincent was connected to her own picture, separate from the ones of Lena and Violet. "Give that back! Infiltrator!"
