Neb: I do not own Ducktales. This chapter takes place during the ending of season two. Vincent had unlocked new powers just in time for the alien invasion. Quinn, the Enforcer of Order had been defeated by Vincent. I've decided that I will go with an AU route, of course nothing that Vincent had ever done before was cannon after all. But I've been doing my best to make sure events that happen within the timeline of the show stays intact. But I can't do that anymore, not when things like Alien Invasions, F.O.W.L, and other Earth shattering events occur. Still, I hope you all enjoy the fanfic.
"Stick to the plan," Scrooge ordered. "Everyone hold. Until I give word hold. Hold!"
The next battle took place in the driveway of Scrooge McDuck's Manor under the cover of the star lit night sky. The area was heavily fortified by the moon invaders. Vincent would have to admit he didn't really interact with a lot of their own forces. Of course he new Lena, Violet, Launchpad, Scrooge, Quackfaser, Mrs. Beakley, and the ghost butler Duckworth. He's at least heard of Gizmoduck, Dr. Gearloose, and Gabby McStabberson. He knows that the boys watch the two bigger birds on tv make ottomans. He knew nothing of the headless horse, the guy wearing purple, or the police woman. But the police woman stayed close to Gizmoduck, so they must at least know each other and Scrooge rode the headless horse, so they had to of been very familiar with each other.
As for the guy in purple, he was driving with Launchpad towards the battle, and bumping into rocks as they did so.
"Ok, here we go," Launchpad spoke up as he tried readjusting himself multiple times.
"Oh fine, just go," Scrooge called out, giving the order to attack.
Everyone charged and met the moon warriors in battle.
At first Vincent was throwing runes to make them scatter from the explosions, but then he became more comfortable using the blue energy beams he could fire from the markings on his hands. He begun chasing some of the moon invaders inside of the woods along with Scrooge's Butler.
"When did he learn that?", Lena asked Violet.
Violet shrugged at her.
Lena started throwing purple blasts of energy herself at each of the moon warriors, she even turned one of their guns into a bird. Well she did have a larger range on how she could use her ability thanks to being a sorceress.
Violet was swinging around a morning star mace made of pure magic conjured by Lena.
"Cool," Vincent admitted. "How long could she do that?" He then moved along through the woods continuing to keep the moon invaders separated from their own forces. He saw that the Purple Guy, Scrooge, and Launchpad had all drove on ahead towards the mansion to finish things themselves. Which was good, this was part of Scrooge's plan. The larger group was meant to provide a distraction while he went and took on Lunaris.
At some point in time, Harpies were assisting in the attack by carrying some of the moon invaders off.
Vincent heard that the family had to deal with harpies at some point, but he was still in awe of the mythical creatures. "This is more my speed," Vincent grinned. "No space age nonsense, just good old ancient mythology. Although I'm seeing it with my own eyes, so it isn't mythology anymore." Though Vincent shouldn't have gotten distracted, because he saw Dr. Gearloose get disintegrated in front of Gizmoduck.
"Dr. Gearloose," Gizmoduck yelled.
"Don't worry," Gyro spoke up as he emerged from the middle of nowhere. "That was a clone." Then he was disintegrated.
"Ok that might have been me," another clone spoke up. "None of us really know anymore. Charge!"
"And cloning real now to," Vincent realized as he saw a group of Dr. Gearlooses attacking the moon invaders. He slid down the hillside to assist with cover fire as he saw the bulk of the moon forces were in that direction heading towards Mrs. Beakley.
She was tossing them around like rag dolls as she performed her martial arts. She then received a blast to the shoulder forcing her to hide behind cover.
"Mrs. Beakley," Vincent shouted as he moved to assist her. He created a shield of magic between them as Mrs. Beakley made a call to Scrooge with one of their lightbulb robots.
The moon invaders then changed the focus of their attack on Vincent when they saw he was the one projecting the shield.
Vincent then created a magic shielding in front of himself blocking their attacks, but then received a few blasts to the back. His sealing magic allowed him to absorb some of the damage without incinerating like Dr. Gearloose, but their were a few burns on his back from the attack as he fell behind a tree.
"Vincent," Mrs. Beakley called out back to him.
"Stay down," Vincent yelled back.
"Mr. McDuck," Mrs. Beakley called into her communication device. "I don't know how much longer we can hold them!"
"Trust Me Beakley," Scrooge answered. "It's going just as planned."
Vincent groaned as he pulled himself behind cover as the moon invaders begun to surround him. He created a shield of magic around his body as they all begun simultaneously firing at him. His wound from Quinn had opened up again and now he had three new fresh ones in the back thanks to the moon invaders. Vincent saw that the markings on his hands were beginning to fade from the overuse of his manna.
"Just surrender," Beakley ordered as she slipped away.
Vincent realized that she was right and put his arms up. He was dragged away and brought to an area where some of their other forces were. Before hearing a voice echoing across the hills. Vincent looked up to see a projection of Lunaris hovering over where the mansion should be. The golden ship they were trying to capture had vanished as well. He must have been talking to Scrooge, because his projection was looking downwards towards the roof of the mansion. Though the voice was loud, Vincent was too far away and too much in a daze to hear what the moon general had to say.
The police woman checked on Vincent's wounds as the other member's of Scrooge's army were being brought to them.
"Guess it's all up to Scrooge now," Vincent groaned.
"Keep your eyes on the ones with the projectiles," one of the moon warriors ordered the others.
"We won't do anything crazy," Gizmoduck assured. "Right guys?"
"Totally," Lena nodded.
"Absolutely," Vincent agreed. He was almost out of manna anyways, so he doubted he'd be much help. He could try chucking runes again, but he knew he was going to be blasted the moment he started reaching for anything.
The group were all placed in handcuffs and they were brought towards Scrooge's mansion. As this went on an even larger ship begun to fly towards the center of Duckberg.
"The one on the mansion was a decoy," Vincent realized.
"Again," Dr. Gearloose sighed. "A very well thought out plan."
"Is this it?", Lena wondered. "Are we all just going to wait helplessly?"
"We have little choice," Vincent admitted. "We're lucky we haven't sustained any casualties so far." He looked at Dr. Gearloose and then squinted. "At least I think we didn't..."
"I'm not a clone," Dr. Gearloose explained. "At least I think I'm not."
The next mourning Vincent laid against a wall in the mansion's living room watching as more families from Duckberg were being hauled up inside Scrooge's Mansion. Perhaps the Moon Soldiers thought it was easiest to keep everyone in the town in one spot. Aside from that, it had begun snowing outside. "What is going on out there?"
"Quiet you," one of the moon soldiers ordered.
Vincent had learned, from listening in on moon invaders broadcasts, that Della went rogue on her end of the mission in order to keep the boys and Webby safe. Nobody knew where any of them were, but the moon invaders thought that they had perished. Surely they were fine, it was going to take more then a few moon soldiers to stop Webby or the boys. At least that's what Vincent wanted to think, but the moon invaders had turned Scrooge's whole plan upside down on itself. Vincent didn't want to think the worse, but he was never really an optimist. He could feel his manna returning to himself, and though he couldn't see the markings on his hands, thanks to the way he was bound, he could feel them. He clenched his hands as he started controlling his breathing.
"Don't even think about it," Lena spoke up at Vincent.
"What? I wasn't going to do anything," Vincent lied. But as always, he was a terrible liar. He couldn't look Lena in the eyes when telling her that.
"Look I know this is hard," Lena begun. "But you don't have to jump into danger every chance you get."
"We're running out of options," Vincent groaned.
"Until Scrooge is confirmed to be defeated that will never be the case," Lena assured him.
"Something could have happened to Webby," Vincent pointed out.
"No proof of that either," Violet added. "I doubt Webbigail would be defeated so easily, even by an invading force."
"I don't know," Vincent shook his head. "Lunaris stated he was going after Scrooge's family from the very beginning. Meanwhile Scrooge's family is nowhere to be seen. Mrs. Beakley is still out there somewhere, maybe I can escape and meet up with her."
"If you cause a commotion here it will only put more people in danger," Violet informed with a stern voice. "They've got pretty much the whole city locked up in this building."
"I know that but."
I'm sorry Vincent, but you are in no shape to take on the entire invading army by yourself. If you'd of let Quackfaster and I help you against your foe Quinn, you wouldn't have suffered damages before the battle. If you'd have stayed in the forest with the rest of us, you wouldn't have taken as much damage during the battle. Your being reckless Vincent, and it's time you slow it down."
Vincent stared at Violet who only glared back at him and then nodded. "Fine, I'll stay out of this one. But, the moment I find out something bad has happened to Webby, Scrooge, or any of their family members I'm done restraining myself."
"Same," Lena nodded.
Gizmoduck and the police woman also nodded to them in agreement.
"Ok," Vincent smiled. "So we wait."
By the end of the next day, the snow started to vanish. The Earth was apparently pulled out of orbit because of the larger ship. Lunaris's plan was to make the Earth revolve around the moon. Unfortunately for him, the Duck family was still alive and fighting. They had taken out the larger ship using a giant krill. No it wasn't an exaggeration. Vincent was staring at a giant Krill in the front lawn of the McDuck manor.
"What a weird week it's been," Vincent admitted.
"Vincent," Webby called out as she ran over to him.
The moon people had started letting go of the hostages as they realized that they didn't fear or hate Earth as much as they thought they did. General Lunaris was manipulating them the whole time.
"So we survived that," Louie pointed out. "What do we do now?"
"I don't know," Della admitted. "But we'll do it together."
Everyone started huddling together as Webby hugged Scrooge ,and Della and Donald hugged the boys.
Just then the frame froze.
"You see that," a man wearing robes spoke up to a giant lady carrying a giant beam balance. "It's all changed! Quinn failed his mission and now we are entering a new timeline. I ask the Karmic Court to bring justice towards this Vincent Tailfeather."
There were a couple different people in robes all awaiting the response of the Bailiff or the Lady of Justice.
"Silence," the Bailiff called out. "The one in question right now is not Vincent Tailfeather. The threads of order had been severed because of the one known as Anya Aurora, Mistress of Chaos, and owner of Artifact."
Chained up in the accused stand, Madame Aurora awaited her punishment.
"How could you do this Aurora?", the cloaked man growled. "That boy is messing with things he doesn't even understand."
"I tried keeping him on track," Madame Aurora assured. "But he grew fond of the pink girl. It's her fault he strayed from his path and that he broke his oath. I merely wanted to lead him to do great things, but now he's completely out of my control."
"So you plead innocent," the Bailiff questioned.
"Until proven otherwise," Madame Aurora nodded.
"Very well," the Bailiff called out. "The court is now in session."
The man in the cloak sighed before taking his place in the courtroom.
Madame Aurora looked up at the screen towards Vincent. "What have you gotten yourself into you dumb boy?"
