Kingdom Hearts III: The Army of Light

by J. Tom

Sora and his team are now traveling the worlds to save them from Master Xehanort's wrath and recruit friends both old and new to join their army of light. But as their adventure goes on, things become harder for them. Tougher foes, dangerous fights, all leading up to the final battle that'll determine the fate of all the worlds. My version of Kingdom Hearts III. Rated PG-13.

34. Chapter 34: Gladstone and Fethry

Another breather chapter for you all, where we meet two of Donald's cousins.

Sorry it took so long again. I got caught up in my other stories and work. Plus, it's hard writing original chapters.

Enjoy!

The Secret Forest:

The members of the Army of Light were conversing over a lunch break at a picnic table (aside from Woody and Buzz since toys don't eat food). Hayner, Pence, Olette, Leon, Cloud, Yuffie, Aerith, Tifa, Cid, and Zack were watching as they ate their lunch as well.

"So the Prospector tried to sit on the flames thinking it would put it out, only to end up burning his butt and shout that his biscuits were burning!" Woody laughed, telling them about the final episode of his old TV show, Woody's Round-Up.

The army burst out laughing.

"Now that is funny!" laughed Milo.

"I know we don't have what you call TV's in our respective worlds, but that sounded hilarious." giggled Jasmine,

"The guy didn't sound smart." commented Sweet.

"His television counterpart wasn't, but him in real life, downright evil." said Buzz.

"Also, his owner dressed up like a chicken, why?" asked Eugene.

"That's their mascot for Al's Toy Barn." said Woody. "According to Jessie and Bullseye, he always complained about having to drive all the way there, especially on a Saturday, even thous it's literally across the street from where he lives."

Everyone laughed again.

"Now then, what's this I hear about one of your mouse friends being turned into a human once Cinderella?" asked Rapunzel.

"Oh this oughta be something." smirked Audrey.

"Uh uh, no way!" said Jaq. "We don't need to hear that-"

"But Jaq, it's my favorite." Mary insisted sweetly.

Jaq smiled. "OK, let's hear it."

"It's nice to see them getting along so well." smiled Yuffie.

"Yeah, the trust among them seems to be going good." nodded Olette.

"Any word from Sora and his team?" asked Cloud.

"I got a message on my computer earlier sayin' that they left a world called Arendelle." said Cid.

At that moment, the portal opened up.

"Oh good, they're here." said Aerith.

One by one, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Terra, Ven, Aqua, Roxas, Naminé, Xion, Lea, Isa, Myde, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Daisy, Max, Oswald, Ortensia, Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven walked through.

"Here we are. The secret forest." said Terra.

Those from Arendelle took in their surroundings.

"This forest is so beautiful…" Anna said in awe.

"And just look at that beautiful sunset!" Olaf exclaimed.

"Yeah it's usually like that here." Lea chuckled.

"You should see Twilight Town." said Roxas.

"Hey guys. Welcome back." said Olette as she, Hayner, Pence, and the Restoration Committee walked up to them.

"More new members eh? This army just keeps growing and growing." said Cid.

"These guys are from Arendelle." said Ven.

"Three guys, a reindeer… and a snowman." said Cloud, blinking at Olaf.

"Hi I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" Olaf grinned.

"He's not a member, but we didn't want to leave him behind." said Aqua.

As they group introduced themselves to each other, they then noticed the army looking at them.

"Who are they?" asked Kida.

"Probably new members." guessed Cassim.

Sora and Co. noticed them. "Oh hey guys! We brought more new members for the army!" he said.

The Arendelle residents walked up to them.

"Hello, I'm Anna." said Anna, introducing herself. "This is my older sister Elsa, my new boyfriend Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and our alive snowman Olaf."

"Hey." greeted Kristoff.

"Hello." said Elsa.

"Hi there!" said Olaf.

Sven snorted a hello.

"We'll it's nice to meet you all." said Milo, the group shaking hands.

"How is that snowman alive?" asked Vinny.

"I brought him to life." said Elsa. "I have ice powers."

"That is very interesting." commented Jasmine.

"Call me crazy, but Rapunzel, Anna, and Elsa look like they're related in some way." said Aladdin.

Everyone looked at the Princesses of Heart. Genie transformed into Sherlock Holmes and held up a magnifying glass to see for himself.

"Yes, I can see some of those features have dastardly similarities between the three of them." he said with an English accent.

"Uh… is he always like that?" asked Kristoff.

"Nah… some days he's extra funny." Ven replied.

"Why don't we all get to know each other some more?" suggested Anna.

"That sounds good." Rapunzel said in approval.

"Come with us to the lunch table." said Audrey. "The mice here were telling us about the time one of them was a human."

"Ooh, sounds amazing!" Olaf said excitedly as they walked back to the table.

"I just love how they immediately get along." Naminé smiled.

"It shows that their trust in each other is building up very well." nodded Isa.

Mickey turned to the Twilight Town trio and the Restoration Committee. "Training can be done for today since those from Arendelle had quite the, well, 'adventure' per say." he told them. "So we can head back to the castle while everyone rests up for tomorrow."

"Sounds good Mickey." nodded Aerith.

With that, the group left for the portal, bidding farewell to the army.

"So where in the story were you?" asked Anna.

"Ok. So, Jaq-Jaq and Gus-Gus were going to pick flowers for Cinderelly…" began Jaq.

Disney Castle:

Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Naminé, Xion, Lea, Isa, Terra, Aqua, Ven, Myde, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Max, Oswald, Ortensia, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Leon, Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, Aerith, Cid, and Zack came in through the portal into the lab.

"We're gonna head back to Radiant Garden." said Leon. "We'll be ready for more training tomorrow."

"You got it." nodded Riku.

The Committee went through the portal to their home world.

"So that's 5 new Princesses of Heart." said Sora.

"Kairi, Rapunzel, Anna, Elsa, and Kida." surmised Isa. "Two more to go."

"Question is, who could the last two be?" said Terra.

"Think any of the former Princesses of Heart members might be a part of the new group like Kairi is?" suggested Max.

"I dunno, Master Yen Sid did say that the original ones passed down their positions." Mickey shrugged.

Just then, the elevator opened up. And out stepped Seifer, Rai, Fuu, and Vivi.

"Hey you four." greeted Roxas. "What brings you down here?"

"The phone in the king's office was ringing for 5 minutes." said Seifer with an annoyed look.

"Oh dear, who was it?" Mickey asked.

"Not sure if it was important or not, but someone was requesting if he could park his blimp on arrival," said Fuu.

"Strange phone call y'know?" said Rai.

The 23 Keyblade Masters blinked in confusion.

"Park his blimp?" Xion asked aloud. "Who could that be?"

"Let's go find out." said Sora.

---

Upstairs:

The group of 27 made their way outside the front of the castle. They saw Scrooge, Ludwig, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, and June outside.

"Well at least the rain has stopped since we left." commented Oswald.

"You said it Oswald." said Goofy. "After a whole week, it's nice to see the sun shining again."

"What are you guys doing out here?" Myde asked the McDuck family.

"We saw the blimp outside with Huey's new telescope and decided to take a look." said Dewey. "Though it was too far so we couldn't see any other details."

"And my special telescope that can see all the way to the other side of the country is still in the works." added Ludwig.

"Hey, the blimp's coming closer." said Kairi, squinting her eyes.

As the blimp drew closer, they could see it clearer. It was a blueish silver blimp with green sides and fins. They then could make out the spelling on the sides.

"Gladyear?" Kairi asked in confusion.

"What kind of company is Gladyear?" asked Myde.

The eyes of the Disney Castle residents McDuck family widened… Scrooge and Donald's in horror.

"Oh no it's him!" Donald groaned.

"Who?" asked Riku.

"That deadbeat of a relative… Gladstone Gander." Scrooge groaned.

The human members of the team's eyes widened.

"Wait, you mean Donald's lucky goose cousin?" asked Sora.

"Yep, that's lucky Uncle Gladstone alright." nodded Dewey.

Then out of nowhere, Scrooge and Donald each pulled out a wooden crossbow and aimed at the blimp.

"It's slow. We can probably take it down with a couple shots." said Donald. (1)

"Aye! Let's do it lad!" nodded Scrooge.

Everyone was shocked.

"Say what now?!" exclaimed Lea.

"Are they gonna shoot him down?!" exclaimed Terra.

"Are they nuts?!" cried Naminé.

"WHOA, WHOA! WAIT!" shouted Sora.

Sora rushed and quickly forced their crossbows down, causing them to fire away from the blimp. The arrows bounced around and struck several lampposts.

"That's coming out of my wallet." sighed Mickey.

"Are you both crazy!? You could've killed him!" snapped Sora, glaring at the two ducks.

"Oh, please, it's Gladstone, Sora. With his dumb luck he would've survived without a scratch." Donald scoffed.

"Besides, whenever that deadbeat is around, all that comes from him is annoyance and luck… just for him." added Scrooge. "Now if you'll excuse us…"

Donald and Scrooge tried to aim their crossbows again, only for Sora to kung fu kick them out of their grasps, knocking them into his grasp. Without blinking, but giving an unamused look, Sora snapped the crossbows in two and handed them to Lea, who set them on fire.

Everyone blinked, stunned, a bit awed, and a little scared.

"Okay then…" blinked Violet. "Let's let Gladstone come down now, shall we?"

"That deadbeat of a cousin of mine is not allowed in my home! He knows what he did!" growled Donald.

"What did he do to make you hate him so much?" asked Aqua.

"The less you know, the better." Donald replied.

"And how well did that work out with the boys when it came to their mom?" Isa asked.

Donald blinked and sighed. "Fine. I'll tell you later." he said.

"Deadbeat or not, he is still family." reminded Ludwig.

"And remember who runs the castle." added Minnie.

Donald and Scrooge rolled their eyes whole the kids traded glances.

"Gladstone's not really that bad is he?" asked Lena.

"On the fence Lena. On the fence." said Louie.

Within minutes, the blimp was parked in the castle's backyard, in between it and the cabana. And out stepped what looked like a duck similar to Donald, but was really a goose with a neat hairstyle. He wore a green jacket, a darker green vest with two black buttons, and a yellow long-sleeved collared shirt underneath.

"Ahh, finally nice to be out of the air." Gladstone said happily. "Now I'm loose as a goose and ready to gander."

"Well I gotta say, it's nice to see you again Gladstone." Mickey greeted politely.

"King Mick! Good to see you again 'ol pall." Gladstone greeted with finger guns. "You and Minnie till runnin' the kingdom?"

Mickey chuckled. "You know it." he said.

Gladstone looked up at Goofy. "Captain Goofy! Still rockin' the green and yellow outfit. Respect."

Goofy chuckled. "Hiya Gladstone! So you live in a blimp now?" he asked.

"Yep. And I get a good view of Duckburg from the sky as well." he replied. Gladstone turned to his cousin. "D-Money! Good to see you again as well, cuz!"

"Yeah yeah, hello Gladstone." Donald gruffed.

Gladstone spotted his relatives. "Well, well, well, Uncle McMoney Bags, Uncle VonBrains, Dewdrop, Greener Pastures, Red Hat, and Pink Bow. Nice to see all of you again!" he greeted.

"Hey Uncle Gladstone." the triplets greeted.

"Hi Gladstone!" said Webby with a smile.

"Hello nephew." Ludwig smiled.

Scrooge rolled his eyes.

Gladstone turned to Daisy and grinned charmingly when he saw her.

"Well hello there Daisy Duck, still as pretty as ever." Gladstone commented, trying to stroke Daisy's hair.

Daisy flicked Gladstone's fingers off her.

"Get a life boy toy! I'm engaged!" she scoffed, showing her ringed-hand.

"Oooh! Ouch!" Myde commented, everyone else snickering.

Donald chuckled in amusement.

Gladstone blinked in surprise. "Whoa. Engaged huh? That's unexpected." He turned to Donald. "Congratulations Donaldo. You're finally tying the knot."

"Uh… thanks." was all Donald said.

"Why doesn't he like him?" Terra whispered to Sora.

"No idea." Sora shrugged. "Never really mentioned him that much."

"Though I am surprised that you didn't tell the family sooner." Gladstone commented. "Otherwise, you would've received more visitors than just the two of us."

"Well we have a lot going-" Daisy was cut off when she realized what the gander said. "Wait, two of us?"

"Yeah, I'm not the only one who's visiting." Gladstone replied, much to everyone's confusion.

"Then who else is visiting?" asked Huey.

"Ahoy there!"

Suddenly, coming from the ocean a bit of a ways away behind the castle appeared what appeared to be a humongous purple krill with colorful stripes and spikes. The sight shocked everyone aside from Huey and Dewey.

"Whoa!" gasped Webby.

"What in blazes?!" exclaimed Scrooge.

"Holy Jesus!" shouted Seifer.

"What in the actual fuck?!" exclaimed Ven.

"The hell is that thing?!" shouted Louie.

"AHH! GIANT SEA MONSTER!" shouted Myde.

"Wait! That's not a monster!" shouted Huey.

"And it's not even a bad guy!" added Dewey. "It's Mitzy!"

Everyone turned to the two in confusion.

"What are you two talking about?" asked Isa.

"You know that creature?" asked Violet.

"I think they said her name is Mitzy." said Webby.

"Yeah, she's part of a krill team run by Uncle Fethry!" said Huey.

"And if Mitzy's here, then Uncle Fethry's here too!" added Dewey.

And he was right. As Mitzy drew closer, they could see a duck standing on tip of it. He wore a red hat, a red jacket with two silver buttons on the right side, and a yellow turtleneck shirt with a black stripe near the bottom. He also had a few strands of hair sticking out.

"It is Fethry!" exclaimed Mickey.

"How's it going everybody!" Fethry called as Mitzy lowered her head. "Thanks for the lift 'ol girl! I'll see you back at the lighthouse later."

Mitzy gave a curt nod and swam away.

"Welcome back to Disney Castle Fethry!" greeted Mickey.

"Oh why thank you King Mickey!" Fethry said with a smile. "Oh and Minnie! It is so nice to see you again, Your Majesty."

Minnie giggled. "Oh why thank you Fethry."

"And Goofy, still as tall and broad as a good captain!" Fethry said to the king's captain.

Goofy chuckled. "Gawrsh, thanks Fethry!"

Fethry turned to Max. "And Little Goofy, look how big you've grown since the last time I've seen you!" he exclaimed. "What are you in now? 11th grade? 12th grade?"

Max chuckled. "Hey Fethry, good to see you again. And I'm actually out of college. And remember, my birthname's Max." he said.

"Oh right! Duh!" Fethry said, jokingly facepalming. He faced his relatives. "Oh little Donalds! It's so good to see you again!"

"Hey Uncle Fethry!" greeted Dewey.

"It's really nice to see you again too!" said Huey.

Fetrhy faced Louie. "And you must be the other triplet!" he said happily.

"Uh, yeah I'm Louie." Louie said with an awkward smile.

"Boy the last time I saw you, you were only 3!" Fethry gushed, remembering the good times. "And Uncle Scrooge, Uncle Ludwig, Cousin Donald, it's so great to see you all again too."

Ludwig chuckled. "It's great to see you again too, distant nephew." he said.

"Yes yes, good to have ya here." Scrooge muttered.

"Hi Fethry." Donald drawled.

Fethry then faced Daisy. "And is it true what Mitzy overheard with her increased hearing? Are you and Donald getting married?!" he asked excitedly.

Daisy giggled. "Yep, it's true." she said, showing off her engagement ring.

Fethry grinned. "Oh it's finally happening! My sailor slash mage slash Caballero cousin is fob ally tying the knot like he always dreamed!" he said excitedly, spinning around in glee.

"Whoa, slow down there Fethry." Gladstone said with a "take it easy" gesture. "Don't want to get too overexcited that you pass out."

"Right, right, sorry." Fethry said sheepishly.

"Plus, we seem to have unfamiliar faces amongst us." Gladstone added, gesturing to the humans and unfamiliar toons.

"Oh yes, so I've noticed!" Fethry exclaimed. "Mind telling us your names?" he asked.

"Sure. My name is Sora." said Sora.

"I'm Riku." said Riku.

"My name's Kairi." said Kairi.

"Terra." said Terra.

"I'm Aqua." said Aqua.

"Ventus. Ven is fine." said Ven.

"Roxas." said Roxas.

"My name's Xion." said Xion.

"Name's Lea. Got it memorized?" said Lea, tapping the side of his head.

"Isa." said Isa.

"I'm Naminé." said Naminé.

"Name's Myde." said Myde.

"I'm Hayner." said Hayner.

"I'm Pence." said Pence.

"I'm Olette." said Olette.

"The name's Seifer." said Seifer.

"Rai." said Rai.

"Fuu." said Fuu.

"Oh, I'm Vivi!" said Vivi.

"Name's Louie. Nice to finally meet you Uncle Fethry." said Louie with a smirk.

"I'm Webby. Your uncle's housekeeper's granddaughter." Webby said to Fethry with a polite smile.

"Lena." Lena said plainly.

"Violet Sabrewing." Violet said politely.

"I'm April." said April.

"Hi! I'm May!" said May.

"June." June said plainly.

"I'm Oswald. Mickey's older, half-brother." said Oswald.

"And I'm Ortensia, Oswald's wife." said Ortensia.

"Wow, quiet the crowd." commented Gladstone. He took note of April, May, and June. "Your Daisy's nieces right? She and Donald have mentioned you from time to time."

"Yeah that's us." nodded May.

"Wow, it's really nice to meet you Little Daisys!" Fethry said happily.

"Uh, thanks Fethry." April said politely.

"And wait, did you say you were Mickey's brother?" Fethry asked Oswald.

"Why yes I did." Oswald smirked. "Technically, half-brother. Older by one year."

"How come you never told us Donald?" asked Gladstone.

"Because I didn't know until a while ago." said Donald.

"Same applies to all of us." said Goofy. "The only ones who ever knew were Minnie and Master Yen Sid."

"It was a personal thing with me." Mickey added.

"That's fair." shrugged Gladstone. "And I never met any non-toon humans before."

"Neither have I!" said Fethry.

"Well Donald has told us about you guys." said Sora.

"Sometimes." said Isa.

"I'm surprised that you didn't call and say that you were coming." said Mickey.

"But we did!" said Fethry. "We called saying we were coming last week before that weeklong rainstorm."

---

9 days ago:

Donald and Daisy were making out in the garden when Donald's phone rang, saying Gladstone's name.

"And... voicemail." Donald said as he and Daisy continued making out.

---

Scrooge was having a meeting with the Buzzard brothers at the Bin (again) when…

"Brrring! Brrring! Brrring!"

The four looked over to Scrooge's Bin office desk and saw a can-phone ringing.

"Who's calling you?" asked Bradford.

"Ignore that," said Scrooge. "Now then, what is this about cutting expenses to my island containing the you-know-what again?"

---

Present:

"Well I'm sure you've had your reasons." said Fethry. "How about I make us some coffee, huh? It's been a long travel."

"Why thank you fethry." Minnie said politely.

As Fethry went inside, everyone deadpanned at Donald and Scrooge.

"How come you never picked up their phone calls?" asked Naminé.

"And don't say because you never heard them." Sora said firmly.

"Well… Fethry is pretty much known to be…" Scrooge began.

"Cuckoo bananas." Donald deadpanned.

"Really? I don't see that." said Kairi. "I mean, he does have some energy in him, but I wouldn't really call him that."

"Neither would we." Huey and Dewey said in unison.

"As for Gladstone, this lucky deadbeat knows why." Scrooge said as he and Donald glared at the goose.

Gladstone sighed. "Donald, Scroogie, come on, how many times do I have to say this: I'm sorry about my lie in the casino and I'm sorry about what I almost did back there and putting you in danger. And I'm sorry I embarrassed you in front of your nephews and um… this triangle faced pink duck over here. (2) I've sent you hundreds of text messages, letters, phone calls and voicemails to tell you how sorry I am. But you never respond or write back."

"That's because I simply ignore any attempts of yours to contact me." Donald said bluntly.

"As do I." Scrooge huffed.

Everyone who didn't know was shocked.

"Wow…" was all Myde said.

"That's pretty harsh man." said Lea.

"Have you tried to talk to them in person?" asked Hayner.

"Eh, Donald would probably cast a spell to block me out of the mansion even if I tried." Gladstone shrugged. "Anyway, when I heard you were in Disney Castle I thought this was my chance to see you guys again. Fethry too."

"Well we don't-" Donald began before Sora shut his bill.

"Well we're happy that you're here." Mickey said politely. "C'mon, let's go inside and talk over that coffee Fethry mentioned."

"We'll just have Pep!." said Louie.

Donald groaned. "Fine."

And they all went inside.

---

Inside, Fethry had just made coffee for all the adults in the room, with Duckworth's assistance. The group came in through the back doors and made their way to the dining room.

"You sure aren't happy to see Gladstone Donald." Goofy commented.

"Ya haven't noticed?" Myde snarked, earning him a smack on the head from Isa.

"When I'm anywhere near this idiot my bad luck gets worse." Donald grumbled.

"Come on, Donald. I'm sure your luck can't be that bad." Xion said dismissively.

" 3... 2... 1." Louie said, confusing everyone aside from the Disney Castle residents and the McDuck family.

Suddenly a chandelier snapped off, narrowly missing Gladstone, and crushed Donald's foot much to everyone's horror as he widened his eyes, some of the girls covering their mouths. The toons cringed.

"Oh shit…" gasped Hayner.

"Oh by god…" gasped Aqua.

"Jesus…" gasped Terra.

"Uh...Donald…" Sora began.

"Are you okay...?" asked Kairi.

Donald's eye was comically twitching in pain from the chandelier crushing his foot but he stopped himself from screaming.

"I'm fine... everything's fine…" he said as he pulled his foot out, revealing it to be flat. He put his thumb in his mouth, blew as hard as he could, and his foot popped back to normal.

"Thank god he's a toon." said Roxas.

At that moment, Beakley came in, having heard the crash. She saw the chandelier near Donald and then saw Gladstone and put two and two together.

"I'll just take this to the back. Gadget can repair it while you all talk." said Beakley, picking it up with one arm and halted it away.

"Huh, I forgot she was so strong." Gladstone commented.

"Coffee's done everybody! Made by Duckworth and yours truly, Donald's favourite cousin!" Fethry called.

"Favorite cousin?" Lena asked.

"Didn't think he had one." commented Lea.

"I thought you didn't like Fethry." Myde whispered to Donald.

"I don't. But he's a better cousin than Gladstone so I guess he sorta is my favourite cousin." Donald shrugged.

Everyone went into the dining room as Fethry and Duckworth severed them coffee, as well as cans of Pep! for those under 17.

"Thanks for the assist Duckworth." smiled Fethry.

"Of course." Duckworth said politely. "Well then, back to the underworld. I'm seeing Adam West do a Batman skit."

"Now that sounds cool," said Pence.

"Right then. Good day." said Duckworth as he went through the floor.

"Kind of unsettling considering that he went down and not up." Isa frowned.

"So Uncle Gladstone, what's been new with you?" asked Louie.

"Oh you know, the usual." Gladstone said, sipping his coffee. "I won a trip to Ireland after my napkin with my name on it landed in the drawing box, I found more diamonds in an ice bag I bought for my freezer, and I got my drycleaning done for free."

Donald clutched his mug, fuming until Daisy patted his shoulder.

"Calm down Donald." she whispered. "Remember, he is family."

Donald sighed as he calmed down.

"Well luck really is on your side." commented Ven.

"What, do you have an endless supply of four-leaf clovers or something?" June joked.

"Nah, just comes naturally." Gladstone replied.

"So Uncle Fethry, did you end up becoming a scientist like you said you would?" asked Huey.

Fethry sighed. "I did try to. I passed all the online courses and got a job at the Duckburg Laboratory."

"Then how come you don't seem happy about it?'' asked Kairi.

"Well I got paid today." replied Fethry.

"Yeah, I know what that's like." said Lea.

"No. You don't understand. They laid me off. I got one of these." said Fethry, showing a pink slip.

"Yeah, I know how that feels." nodded Lea.

"You know what I'd like to do?" asked Fethry.

"Yeah I know what you'd like to do." said Lea, getting up and grabbing sugar cubes for his coffee. "You'd like to find the guy that did it... rip his still beating heart out of his chest and hold it in front of his face so he can see how black it is before he dies."

Everyone stared at Lea with wide eyes.

"...Actually, I was thinking of filing a grievance with the union." Fethry awkwardly replied.

"Well, the world's a twisted place." Lea shrugged as he sat back down. (2)

There was an awkward silence before Fethry spoke up again.

"Well before I was fired, I did study more about aquatic life." he said.

"Really? What do you know?" asked Riku, curious.

"Well, dolphins sleep with only half of their brain and with one eye open so they can watch for predators and other threats." Fethry replied.

"Now that is smart." said Oswald.

"We once swam with dolphins." said Mickey. "It was about a week after many of us returned from the Marvel Cinematic Universe."

"They were so friendly." Kairi giggled.

"And slippery." Roxas added.

"That's their skin for you." Fethry chuckled.

"So what brought you over to Disney Castle?" asked Max.

"Well we have been getting bored lately." Gladstone replied. "Oh sure, I love the occasional good luck that comes my way, especially finding a 20 dollar bill. But it doesn't hurt to get away from it all, y'know?"

"And since I'm in between jobs at the moment, I wanted to visit the family." said Fethry. "Gladstone and I video chatted and agreed to come by to visit for a while."

Scrooge then got up.

"Well as fun as this has been, I'm off to the Bin." he said. "Gladstone, Fethry, good to see you again, not really, good day."

Scrooge then left the building before anyone could say anything.

"Wow." was all Lea said.

"So anyways, what's up with all of you?" asked Gladstone.

"We've all been living here for a little while now." said Huey.

"What about the manor?" asked Fethry.

"Under good security," said Webby. "None of Uncle Scrooge's enemies are getting in."

"As for us, we've been traveling the worlds." said Goofy.

"Why's that?" asked Fethry.

"An enemy of ours named Master Xehanort is posing a large threat over them," said Sora. "He and his followers are causing a whole lot of trouble across them."

"After an incident that lasted almost half a year, they gained a bunch of followers." added Riku. "Since then, we've been recruiting allies across the worlds to help us fight them."

"Wow… you guys sure have been busy." commented Gladstone.

"Are they that bad?" asked Fethry.

"They gained villains like Magica De Spell and two former F.O.W.L. agents." said Max.

"And they made a bunch of our lives a living hell." added Terra.

"For over a decade." added Ven.

Gladstone and Fethry blinked.

"Wow… he sounds dangerous." commented Gladstone.

"You have no idea." sighed Riku.

"Well with that said, mind if we pick out the room we'll be staying in?" asked Gladstone.

"Why of course!" Minnie smiled. "The castle hasn't changed since the last time you were here."

"Oh thank you so much!" Fethry smiled. He turned to Ludwig. "And hey Uncle Ludwig, since I'm in the business of becoming a full-on scientist, I can help you in the lab! We can trade scientific secrets and breakthroughs!"

Ludwig chuckled. "That would be very nice of you, Fethry, thank you." he smiled.

"Great!" Fethry grinned as he and Gladstone left to find their rooms.

"Like I said, cuckoo bananas!" Donald said in exasperation.

"Come on Donald. Fethry isn't cuckoo bananas and he's not a bad person. He's just...a little...weird and awkward." Daisy said to her love while also trying not to insult Fethry.

"And a complete leech! He followed me and Della everywhere around when we became teenagers. It was fun when we were kids, but now I just wanna rip his head off." Donald muttered.

"Jesus Christ Donald, calm down before you start losing it." Riku said, trying to calm the mage down.

"Yeah, that's a bit much, even for you." nodded Oswald.

Donald took a deep breath. "Right, sorry." he sighed. "Me, Della, Fethry and Gladstone used to be a feathered foursome with Daisy tagging along sometimes. I wonder where that all went away."

"Wait a minute. You, Mom, Uncle Gladstone, Uncle Fethry and Aunt Daisy were your own team?" Dewey asked in surprise.

"Yeah, we were. I guess you could say we had the same dynamic you kids had when we were younger." Donald said to his middle nephew.

"And we were quite a team together." Daisy said with a smile.

"Really?!" Webby asked excitedly.

"That sounds so cool!" exclaimed Dewey.

"Fascinating." Violet mused.

"Sounds about right to me." shrugged Louie.

"Guess family bonding really works well in this one." Lena commented.

"Family is the greatest adventure of all." nodded Huey.

"That makes Donald, Della, and Daisy part of two teams." said April.

"Oh yeah, the Sensational Seven and the Feathered Five." said May.

"Wow, they really got out much when they were younger." June mused.

"So I'm guessing Donald was the Dewey, Della was the Webby, Fethry was the Huey and Gladstone was the Louie." said Sora.

"Pretty much." Donald nodded.

"What about you Aunt Daisy. Were you the Lena or the Violet?" asked May.

Daisy thought for a minute before saying, "Uh...I'd say I was a bit of both."

"That… actually sounds right." said Kairi.

"Daisy can be a deadpan snarker at times." giggled Minnie.

"And she is very smart." added Goofy.

"And knows how to calm things down between two people beefing it out." added Hayner.

"So if you were such a good team before, how come that's not the case anymore?" asked Pence.

"I don't know, we just started seeing each other less as we grew up." sighed Donald. "Gladstone became more arrogant the luckier he got, Fethry was cuck-, well, became more of a nutter, me and Della were busy adventuring with Uncle Scrooge, Daisy was getting good jobs and occasionally adventured with us whenever she got the chance."

"Well if you can fix your bond with Scrooge, then you can surely fix your bond with those two." said Xion.

"She's right, it's like Huey said, family is the greatest treasure of all." nodded Riku.

"At least give it a chance Donald." Mickey said to his best friend. "They came all this way out here."

"And they do want to make things right." added Goofy.

Donald sighed and gave a small smile. "Ok. I'll give them a chance." he said.

"That's the spirit!" Sora said proudly.

"I'm sure things will work out with them being here, lucky deadbeat and smart nutter or not." added Webby.

"Besides, what's the worst that could happen?" Lea asked as he went into the hallway… only to get hit by a bus that came out of nowhere, making everyone jump back in alarm.

"Who redirected traffic into the hallway?!" Lea shouted. (4)

The next day:

The sun was shining in the world of Disney Town. Everyone was doing whatever in the castle.

Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, and June were talking over breakfast.

"I've honestly have never seen the original version of the trilogy. I didn't even know there was an unaltered." admitted Webby.

"You didn't know about them?!" Dewey asked incredulously.

"No." the small girl duck replied.

"How can you not know about the unaltered version?" asked June.

"Is that a bad thing?" Lena asked, curious.

"No. I think they're just overreacting." said May. "Especially considering we, including June, didn't start with the unaltered trilogy."

"And neither did we." said Louie. "And you girls should have seen Dewey when he first saw the shooting part back to back. He went off on a huge tangent about who shot first."

"I don't mind alterations, I just don't know why they decided to start the franchise by jumping right into episode 4." said Violet.

"Neither do we." Huey said in agreement.

"Maybe it's because George Lucas wants episode 1-3 to be like preludes to the series." suggested April.

"Well, I think it had a somewhat good start with The Phantom Menace." said Violet.

"Agreed." nodded April.

"BOOOO!" Dewey, Louie, and Lena shouted, hands up to their beaks.

"Lame!" June said, giving a thumbs down.

"Oh, grow up. Episode 1 isn't that bad." Violet said calmly.

At that moment, Sora came by, using the vacuum.

"How come you're vacuuming?" asked Louie, raising an eyebrow.

"The brooms are on vacation, so we're helping anyway we can." Sora replied, vacuuming under their feet.

"Oh yeah that's right." nodded Huey.

As Sora continued vacuuming, Donald and Goofy came in for breakfast.

"Morning kids." said Donald, pouring some Cocoa-Puffs for him and Goofy.

"Morning you two." greeted Violet.

Then, Gladstone came in. "Morning fam." he greeted, grabbing a bowl and was about to pour the same cereal in… only for the usual to fall out. "Hey 20!"

Gladstone beamed as he walked away. Donald growled.

"Don't let it get to ya Donald." said Goofy.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion that came from the basement.

"What was that?!" exclaimed Sora.

"Came from the basement." said Huey.

Everyone rushed downstairs.

---

In the lab, Roxas was using a fire extinguisher to put out a fire. Ludwig, Fethry, Gyro, Fenton, Manny, Lil Bulb, and another person were downstairs.

Gyro wore a short yellow hat with black accents and black glasses, a green shirt with a pink bow tie, a brown vest and shoes, a black belt, and tan pants.

Fenton wore a cream collared-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, plush a light purple tie.

Manny was a gray horse with a black tail. A brown saddle was on his back, along with a Scrooge McDuck statue head on his neck. He also wore a white lab coat.

Lil Bulb was a robot made of metal, with a gray tone robotic skeleton and its head, which consisted of a small bulb, was yellow.

Finally, the girl was a gander with brown feathers a but darker than Fenton's with dark brown hair cut to her shoulders with blue eyes. She wore a black sleeveless shirt with torn crew sleeves, blue jeans, a light blue sweater tied around her waite, black shoes with white patterns, balck fingerless gloves, and light blue WADDLE headphones with blue lining the same color as her pants. It was Gandra Dee, Fenton's girlfriend.

The scientists were all covered in soot.

"Well that was quite the explosion." murmured Ludwig.

The elevator door opened. Sora, Donald, Goofy, Gladstone, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, and June ran in.

"What happened?!" exclaimed Webby.

"Is everyone ok?!" asked Huey.

"Well we're all alive, so that's a good thing." said Gyro.

"It was my fault." Fethry said sheepishly. "I just found out what happens when you mix potassium sulfate with hydrogen peroxide."

"It explodes?" Lena asked.

"Luckily, not the same way as a ton of dynamite." said Gyro.

Donald grumbled in exasperation.

"Relax Donald, it can happen to anyone." said Ven.

"He's right." said Fenton. "I know I've had my fair share of explosions when I first started being a scientist."

"We know, we've seen all of them." Manny clapped.

"Same here, though they were more electrical than chemical," said Gandra.

"And you are?" asked June.

"Hey yeah, I don't think we've met before." said Sora.

"This is my girlfriend." Fenton said with a smile, wrapping an arm around Gandra.

"Yeah. Name's Gandra. Gandra Dee." Gandra smirked.

"Oh, like the late actress who's acting career spanned from 1954 to 1998?" asked Violet.

"Yeah, something like that." Gandra shrugged.

"She was visiting and offered to help out in the lab like Fethry." said Ludwig.

"Some help he's been." muttered Donald, eyes narrowed in annoyance.

"Ok, let's head upstairs Uncle Donald." said Huey as he and Webby lead their uncle/honorary uncle back to the elevator.

"So you're a scientist?" Lena asked Gandra. "You look more like a punk girl, kinda like me."

Gandra scoffed. "Not all scientists wear lab coats." she said. "Like your honorary uncle's cousin, we wear whatever we want when we push the boundaries for scientific breakthroughs."

"It's true!" Fethry chimed in. "Anyways, now that the explosion is gone, I'm gonna see if I can seperate the salt from saltwater."

Fethry set to work, gathering various beakers.

"Is that possible?" asked Sora.

"Only one way to find out!" said Fethry as he poured a substance into a beaker of saltwater.

---

A few hours later, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Aqua, Terra, and Ven were in the screening room.

"So what kind of classic should we watch today?" asked Mickey.

"Something 70's." said Terra.

"How about Taxi?" suggested Aqua.

"Good choice!" said Goofy, clicking the remote.

(Taxi intro plays)

As the show began, Gladstone came into the room.

"What's up fam?" he asked.

"What do you want?" Donald groaned.

"Donald, be nice." chasatied Aqua.

"Just watching some old classics." said Kairi.

"Sweet, think I'll join." said Gladstone. He sat down on a recliner, which reclined for him. He didn't even have to pull the lever! "Double sweet!" the gander smirked.

"Wow, that was lucky." remarked Ven.

"I could go for a snack." Gladstone said lazily.

"You know you can get something yourself, the kitchen's across the hall." Donald muttered.

---

At that time in the kitchen, Beakley was prepping some snacks as Lea walked into the room.

"Hey Mrs. B, what'cha making?" he asked.

"Some snacks for the kids." Scrooge's housekeeper replied. "Just a way to keep myself busy when not tending to any dust or cobwebs in the castle."

"I can tell." Lea said as he examined what was on the cart. "Cheese and crackers, apple slices, peeled clementines, and tiny PB sandwiches cut into star shapes."

"Just making sure the young ones are fed in a healthy manner." Beakley said as she set down a tray of chocolate chip cookies. "And some dessert for afterwards as well. If you see them, tell them to eat the rest first."

"Got it memorized." Lea smirked.

Suddenly, Duckworth phased through the wall, startling Lea as he jumped back into the cart, making it roll away.

"Apologies Lea, just wanted to get Mr. McDuck's mid-morning tea," said Duckworth.

"Even after all these months, I'm still not used to ghost you." Lea said with an exasperated smile. He then looked behind him. "Where'd the cart go?"

At that moment, the cart rolled into the screening room.

"Hey now! Snacks!" Gladstone beamed as he took some cookies.

The nine Keyblade masters stared in surprise.

"Unbelievable." said Sora.

"It just came to him!" exclaimed Riku.

"Just the worst." Donald gruffed.

Lea came into the room.

"Sorry Gladstone," he said, "But these are for the kids."

Gladstone shrugged. "Fun while it lasted," he said.

Lea paused the cart of snacks out of the room. "Look, if you want a snack, come get one yourself. You are old enough to do that now." said Lea as he left, only to get comically hit by a freight train pulled by Thomas the Tank Engine, making everyone jump in alarm.

"Who rerouted the train through the hallway?!" Lea shouted. (4)

---

3 episodes of Taxi later…

Scrooge walked downstairs where he saw Donald, Daisy, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, and June watching Ottoman Empire.

"I'm Johnny, the brains of the job." said Johnny.

"And I'm his twin brother Randy, the handsome one." said Randy.

"Back to the Ottomans lads and lasses?" he asked.

"Yeah, and Louie was eight." said June. "This show was boring to begin with but now it's pretty cool."

At that moment, Fethry burst in with an extra large map covering him.

"Attention family, I have made an amazing discovery!" he said excitedly. "Hidden in the depths of the nearby ocean is an extremely rare sea specimen never before seen by man! We have to get the submarine and go check it out right away!"

While Huey, Violet, and April looked interested, everybody else wasn't.

"Are you sure about that Uncle Fethry?" asked Dewey. "I mean, the last time you discovered an 'interesting specimen' we almost died and Uncle Scrooge's underwater lab ended up totaled."

"Besides, it's not like everybody here is interested in underwater creatures that much." added June.

"Sorry Fethry, but none of us are going." said Scrooge.

"How can you say that when Launchpad's already got the submarine up and running?" Fethry asked.

Everyone blinked.

"Wait, what?" asked Louie.

-Scene cut-

Everyone is soon in the submarine, Launchpad piloting it.

"Hang on, explorers, for a new species of the wide, blue sea is about to be seen by mankind for the first time in god knows how long!" Fethry said excitedly.

"This is exasperating." muttered Donald.

"Aw come on Uncle Donald, what could possibly go wrong?" asked May.

French voice: 2 hours later

We see the family screaming as the submarine is caught by three octopuses…

They scream as the sub electrocuted by 5 electric eels..,

And then they scream as they're caught in a whirlpool.

After all of that….

Everyone groaned in exhaustion as Launchpad steered them into the dark depths of the ocean.

"Gaze in wonder travelers!" Fethry said enthusiastically. "We have arrived!"

"About time…" muttered Louie.

"So here's this new sea specimen?" asked Scrooge.

Fethry peered through the window and gasped.

"Right there, family! Bask in all its glory!" he said.

The family ran to the window and there they saw…

"Rainbow seahorses?" June asked in confusion.

And there were. There were ones that were colored red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, pink, chocolate brown, turquoise, white, black, lavender, gray, olive green, crimson, and burgundy.

"Yes! Rare rainbow seahorses!" Fethry replied. "Never before sea creatures that travel in groups that are so colorful that they are so worth seeing! I mean, just look how bright and colorful they are!"

While Huey, Violet, and April were interested and began writing notes down, Dewey, Webby, May, and Launchpad amazed and awed, Donald, Scrooge, Louie, Lena, and June were annoyed at all the time they wasted.

"So we nearly got killed three times just to see fish that are all the colors of the rainbow?" Louie muttered.

"Like I said, coo-koo bananas." Donald grunted.

---

Later that day, Sora and his friends were helping train the army once more.

Terra, Ven, and Aqua were leading the Keybearers this time.

"Ok eveyrone, show us what you've learned." said Terra. "Begin with a Fire spell."

Aladdin, Jasmine, Woody, Buzz, Milo, Kida, Rapunzel, Eugene, Cinderella, Kit, Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff, clutched their Keyblades, ran forward and fired Fira and Firara spells into the air.

"Very good and very flammable." Terra said approvingly.

"Alright, show us a wind spell." said Ven.

"Which one should we do, an Aero spell or Wind Tracer?" Cinderella asked her fellow Keyblade Wielders.

"Hmm… I suggest the first one." said Kida.

"Good idea, Wind Tracer is a bit more powerful." nodded Buzz.

With that, they casted Aero spells that managed to lift the Wayfinder trio into the air briefly.

"Ooh, windy." chuckled Ven.

"Alright, pick an ice spell and show us what you got before we move on." said Aqua.

"Which one should we do guys? There's a lot of ice spells." asked Aladdin.

"We've done well with Blizzard spells." said Jasmine.

"Let's try… Deep Freeze." suggested Rapunzel.

"That won't be a bother for you three, will it?" Cinderella asked Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff.

"Yeah, we remember your hard experience with winter a few days back." added Kit.

"It's ok, we don't mind." Elsa assured them.

"And it would be cool to cast ice magic like Elsa… even if it isn't the same way." added Anna.

"Yeah, I'm game. Show us how it's done." said Kristoff.

Nodding, the other Keyblade wielders held up their Keyblades, called to their hearts, and casted Deep Freeze into the air.

"Ooooooohhhhhh!" the four Arendelle residents said in awe.

"Good work eveyrone." Aqua said approvingly, giving a small round of applause.

"We're improving very much." Terra nodded.

"And by the time the Keyblade War happens, eveyrone will surely be ready!" added Ven.

"Now then, our shift it done, so Lea is gonna teach you next." said Aqua,

"Thanks for telling us." said Eugene. "Wonder what the sly redhead has in store for us."

As the Wayfinder trio went to another area, Lea approached.

"Ok guys. You ready to expand your knowledge of fire-based attacks?" Lea asked, conjuring a small fire in his hand.

The Keyblade wielders nodded.

"Alright. Now we're gonna go with…" Lea trailed off as he summoned Flame Liberator and casted Mega Flare against a tree stump. "Mega Flare attacks. Got it memorized?"

"Ooooh!" they said in awe.

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy were watching the session.

"Progress is going good." Mickey said approvingly.

"So remind me why the non-Keyblade wielders aren't teaching those without Keyblades?" said Goofy.

"The Ansem the Wise's apprentices and the Restoration Committee are working on the town's benefit concert." said Donald.

"Seifer, Rai, Fuu, and Vivi are at the Struggle Bat tournament against Setzer." said Mickey. "Oh, and the Turks are back on duty for President Shinra."

"Oh, so that's why Sora and the other Keyblade wielders are taking their place! A-hyuck!" chuckled Goofy.

Isa was sparring with Cassim as they clashed Keyblade and sword.

"You're very skilled Cassim." Isa commented.

"Time surviving and being leader of the 40 thieves taught me well." Cassim replied.

---

Naminé and Xion were training Maximus and Sven. The two Kairi-look-alikes had set up ten gymnastic barriers for them to jump over.

"You boys ready?" asked Naminé.

The horse and reindeer nodded.

"Ok… GO!" shouted Xion.

Maximus and Sven ran for it, jumping each barrier without stopping or tripping over the barriers. They spoon reached the end and skidded to a stop.

"Good work boys, you're pretty fast." Xion complimented, ruffling Maximus' mane while Naminé ruffled Sven's fur, making the animals snort happily.

"Now let's see if you can jump two at a time. Maybe even three." suggested Naminé.

Sven and Maximus perked up at that.

---

Sweet, Vinny, Mole, Cookie and Mrs. Packard stood back-to-back in another part of the forest. Riku, Roxas, and Audrey were watching them.

"So remind me what this is?" Audrey asked.

"Seeing how well they can do with surprise attacks." said Roxas.

"Gyro, Fenton, and Gandra invented this for us." added Riku, pressing a button on a remote.

Suddenly, multiple dummy Heartless with springs on their feet bounced from the trees towards the group.

"Air attack!" shouted Mole.

"Now!" said Vinny.

The four quickly spread out and began firing at the springing dummy Heartless as they tried to bounce at them.

Vinny blasted the heads off two of them.

"Boom. Headshots." he drawled.

Sweet rolled under two jumping at him and fired at their backs, making them drop onto the grass.

"Right in the back." Sweet smirked.

Cookie fired rapidly with his shotgun at the dummies, blowing their heads off.

"And that's how it's done dadgummit!" Cookie said, twirling the shotgun on his finger.

Mole, using his round ball-like body, rolled into three of them jumping near him and then fired multiple shots, bringing the dummy Heartless to the ground.

"Oh-hohohoho! That was brilliant!" Mole said excitedly.

Mrs. Packard didn't even flinch as she held out her gun with both hands and fired right at the dummy Heartless, bringing them down easily.

"Please, the expedition to Salem was more challenging." Mrs. Packard said as she reloaded her gun. "Then again, I'm getting a kick out of shooting evil creatures."

"Impressive." smirked Audrey.

"Think you can do a sneak attack with your large wrench?" Roxas asked.

"My papi taught me and my sister wresting. I think I'll manage." Audrey replied, twirling her wrench.

---

Soon, everyone was eating their lunches after a couple hours of practice.

Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, and June were chatting with Anna and Elsa.

"So you can really do ice magic?!" Webby asked excitedly.

"Yeah, my whole life." Elsa nodded.

"That is so cool!" Dewey exclaimed before adding, "No pun intended."

"I know how you feel. I was born with magic." Lena said to the ice queen. "So does that mean your sister has powers too?"

"No I don't." Anna replied. "No one really knows where Elsa's powers came from."

"So a mystery, huh?" mused April.

"Suppose it's a curse?" Violet questioned.

Anna and Elsa traded glances.

"T could be. We haven't really thought much of it." Elsa said.

"Hey did you ever try to slap your siblings so hard that your other siblings felt it…?" asked Dewey. He then slapped Huey, causing him to bump into Louie's chair and both boys feel down. "...And then they did!"

Huey and Louie angrily glared at the middle triplet.

"Ooh! Yeah! I've definitely done that and it's fun!" May said in agreement.

May did the same thing. She slapped April hard, causing her to bump into June's chair and they both fell. April and June angrily glared at their middle sister when as they stood up.

Anna and Elsa were a little weirded out by that.

"Uh… that's never happened." Elsa said.

"Yeah, I never even considered such a theory." added Anna.

At that moment, Olaf walked up.

"Hello there!" he greeted.

The eight ducks and hummingbird gasped at the sight.

"A walking talking snowman?!" Webby exclaimed.

"Oh no, did we die? Are we in Webby heaven again?" Dewey asked.

Violet walked up to the snowman and examined him.

"Fascinating." she said, studying his stick arms. "I've never seen such a thing in all my time studying the weather back in second grade."

"Is he magic?" asked April, studying Olaf's carrot nose.

"No, but he was created by me." said Elsa.

"Is that how he's not melted in the heat here?" asked June.

"Yep!" said Olaf, gesturing to his cloud. "It's my own personal flurry."

"This is so weird." said Louie, feeling the cloud.

"You are just so adorable!" Webby squealed as she hugged Olaf.

"I do like warm hugs!" Olaf chuckled.

"Wow, he feels like regular snow, but not cold!" Webby exclaimed.

"Really? Let me feel!" said Huey. He touched the back of Olaf's head. "Hey yeah! It's like the perfect kind of snow!"

"That tickles!" Olaf giggled.

---

A little while later, Donald was walking around the Secret Forest. When he came near the army's homes, he was surprised to see Scrooge there. What was also there was the new home for Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven. It was a house similar to a regular two-story Arendelle house, but with some ice decorations such as ice chairs, porch lights, windows, and doorknobs.

"Uncle Scrooge? What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I was checking out the army's temporary homes." Scrooge replied. "I am quite fascinated by how they're supposed to be relative to their homes and their time periods. It's like the magic around here knew about their homes and tried to make them feel, well, at home during their stay."

"Indeed. I have never seen such different kinds of homes in the same area before."

Scrooge and Donald groaned as they saw Fethry behind them, taking a look at the homes.

"Fethry what in blazes are you doing here?" Scrooge groaned.

"Well I just wanted to check out the Secret Forest and meet the army." Fethry replied. "Besides, seeing as the Army of Light is going to need all the help they can get for training, I thought I could provide assistance."

"Oh no Fethry, we do not need-" Donald began.

"Oh come on Donald, give your favorite cousin a chance!" Fethry begged. "Besides, I already got something to help."

"What kind of something?" Scrooge asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, last night I was thinking of a new training simulator." Fethry replied. "So I stayed up until 3:00 last night drawing up plans for one. And just this morning, I convinced Professor Von Drake, Dr. Gearloose, Fenton, Gandra, Manny, and Li'l Bulb to make it."

Fethry then brought them over to an area near the bottom of a mountain ledge (the one where Kairi and Lea usually talked in the original KHIII). There was a large simulator built below it.

"Whaddya think?" asked Fethry.

'What is this contraption?" asked Scrooge.

"It's a special fighting simulator." said Fethry. "See, I was thinking; you guys battle dangerous creatures in all the worlds you visit, but the army hasn't ever since coming here to train. Well, I mean they do train, but only with spells and not encountering the creatures of darkness as you do on a daily basis-"

"Get to the point please?" Donald asked in annoyance.

"Oh right!" said Fethry. "So while I was up last night, I decided this simulator to project the different kinds of Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed you fight, their unique abilities programed into it so the army can see their differences and know which spells and techniques to use against them."

"Huh, that actually sounds like a good idea." Donald complemented.

"Have you tested it yet?" asked Scrooge.

Fehey twiddled his fingers. "Well, no not really. I mean it was only completed this morning by my fellow scientists." he said. "But hey, it's like they always say, 'There's no time like the present!'"

At that moment, Sora, Kairi, and Myde walked by.

"Oh goody! Sora, Kairi, Myde! Over here!" Fethry called.

Said Keyblade wielders looked over.

"Oh hey Fethry. What's up?" Sora greeted.

"My new training simulator, that's what!" Fethry said enthusiastically. "I was hoping you would want to try it."

"I don't see what not." shrugged Kairi.

"You did test it, right?" Myde asked, nervous.

"Actually, you'll be the ones testing it." Fethry replied. "This simulator is supposed to help you practice against tany times of creatures you fight on your missions."

"That sounds so cool!" exclaimed Sora. "I'll definitely try it!"

"So will I!" said Kairi.

"I dunno…" Myde said.

"C'mon Myde, even Keyblade Masters need extra training." said Sora.

Myde reluctantly nodded as the three stepped into the large simulator.

"So how does this work?" asked Donald.

Fethry went to a computer and scrolled through pictures of various Heartless, Nobodies, and Unvered.

"I simply look for any kind of evil creature and the machine does the rest." Fethry replied.

"And this was all constructed this morning?" Scrooge asked.

"Ludwig, Gyro, Fenton, and Gandra are very smart scientists." said Fethry, pressing some buttons.

At that moment in the simulator, three exoskeleton robots emerged.

"Those look creepy." Myde shuddered.

"Let's see here…" Fethry pondered, scrolling through the Heartless category. "Ooh these will provide a good challenge!"

Fethry pressed a button and the robots changed their forms before holographic forms covered them, making them Rock Troll Heartless.

"Uh Fethry, those are Rock Trolls." said Donald, nervous. "They're very tough Heartless."

"Oh I'm sure they can handle them." said Fethry. "Now let's increase the power level by 50%."

Fethry moved up some dials.

The Rock Troll heartless siluations got into fighting positions.

"They aren't the real thing, they can't hurt us, right?" Myde asked, nervous.

"They're meant to be like the real thing Fethry." said Sora, summoning Kingdom Key.

"Besides, I'm sure Fethry knows what he's doing." said Kairi, summoning Destiny's Embrace.

Myde sighed, but nodded as he summoned Mystic Water.

The three charged at the Rock Trolls. Sora casted Firaga against the middle one, followed by a Deep Freeze spell. Kairi sieges the left Rock Troll by jumping to it wouldn't smash her, casted Flower Shoot against it, and then whacked it's head with her Keyblade. Myde dodged the right Rock Troll's punches before it slammed the ground, causing him to stumble. The Melodious Nocturne quickly received and casted Watera against the Heartless and slashed to multiple times while it was distracted.

"Hey, this isn't as bad as I thought!" Myde said.

"Yeah, so far so good!" Sora said in agreement.

Fethry beamed proudly while Donald and Scrooge looked impressed.

But then there was trouble. Bolts of electricity began to spear all around the simulator.

"What in blazes?!" exclaimed Scrooge.

"That's not supposed to happen!" cried Fethry as he desperately pressed several buttons.

But it was no use. The simulator Heartless suddenly grabbed Sora, Kairi, and Myde and held on to them tight.

"What the heck?!" Kairi exclaimed.

Electricity formed around the simulator Heartless once more, which also electrocuted the Keybearers. They were suddenly lifted up into the air and were spun around like fidget spinners.

"WHHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" they shouted.

"Get them down from there!" Scrooge shouted.

"I'm trying! The system's gone kaput!" Fethry shouted back.

The simulation Heartless suddenly threw Sora, Kairi, and Myde out of the simulator and into the air.

The three ducks watched as her three shouted before crashing into a strolling Mickey and Minnie.

"Oh my goodness!" Minnie exclaimed.

"Uh, hey fellas." Mickey said awkwardly as he tried to squeeze out from under the pile of humans. "Nice of you to drop in."

"Uh… whoops…" Fethry said sheepishly.

"What was that?" Scrooge demanded.

"I guess I should've looked at those schematics better." Fethry sighed. "I was just so eager to help that I didn't look over everything twice… and didn't let the others check it over either…"

Donald shook his head in exasperation.

"Once cuckoo bananas, always cuckoo bananas." he muttered in annoyance. "Just go back to the castle, Fethry and stay out of trouble." Donald said firmly.

"And if you just so happen to track down something… leave us out of it." Scrooge said firmly.

Donald and Scrooge walked away, leaving Fethry upset and crushed.

---

A little while later, Sora and his team, as well as Hayner, Pence, and Olette were chatting.

"So how are you five holding up?" asked Lea.

"We're actually ok." said Sora.

"Yeah, we've been in worse fights before." said Mickey.

"We can imagine that." said Hayner.

"Don't you think you and Scrooge were being a bit hard on Fethry?" Xion asked DOnald. "I heard you guys talking when we came to check on the others."

"That duck is always in over his head." Donald gruffed. "Had he checked to make sure that thing worked better, you five would've gotten into a pile of pain."

"At least he was trying." Oswald pointed out.

Donald just huffed.

Then, Roxas noticed something.

"Hey, is that Gladstone?" he asked.

Everyone looked and saw Gladstone chatting with the army.

"So I was walking down the street and what blew right into my face? A 20 bill!" Gladstone said. "So I decided to spend it on some nosh, and when I walked into a restaurant, I was dubbed their 1000th customer! I didn't have to spend a single penny!"

"So you got everything for free?" asked Kida.

"Duh! That's what 'didn't have to spend a single penny' means!" Gladstone said.

"Wow, you have got to be the luckiest guy in this world." said Aladdin.

"Yeah, not having to do anything." mused Woody.

Donald growled in irritation at his cousin.

"Sheesh, what's got his feathers in a twist?" asked Ven.

"That lazy deadbeat of a gander!" Donald all of a sudden shouted.

"Donald, calm down!" Goofy said, waving his arms.

"Why did he even bother showing up in the first place?! He shouldn't even be here!" Donald snapped.

Everyone gasped while Gladstone and ther army looked over. The lucky gander gestured to the army to leave, which they did, albeit confused.

"Donald, why would you even say that?!" exclaimed Kairi.

"He is your cousin!" added Naminé.

Gladstone walked over.

"Gee Don, are you really that unhappy to see me?" he asked.

"Yeah! You have no right to show your lazy lucky face around here!" Donald snapped.

"Donald, for god's sake calm down!" shouted Daisy.

"The lad has a reason to be mad."

Everyone looked and saw Scrooge and the kids walk up.

"We could hear Uncle Donald yell from the middle of the forest." said June.

"Why is he so mad at Gladstone?" asked Aqua.

"Did something happen between them?" asked Terra.

"Or is it that he's always jealous that Gladstone's been lucky and he's been unlucky?" asked Myde.

"Well that's part of the reason." Donald seethed.

"Then what's the other part?" Isa asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I think I know." Gladstone said with a neutral expression on his face.

"The other reason is because this deadbeat put our family in danger." Scrooge said.

Those who didn't know the story were surprised and confused. Gladstone could only look away, a small look of shame on his face.

"Wait what?" asked Sora.

"Whaddya mean?" asked Riku.

"Let's find out." said Naminé. She walked dover to Donald and pressed a hand to his head. She then took out her Gummiphone and put it on "Projector Mode" and the memory appeared on screen.

On screen, everyone saw Gladstone in what looked like a casino being held hostage by what appeared to be an emerald green vampire toad, holding him by glowing green chains.

"Who's that guy and why are you in a casino?" asked Ortensia.

Gladstone shuddered. "That giant frog guy? His name's Toad Liu Hai. Ancient spirit if chance a fortune." he said. "Basically, he was a vampire that fed off of luck, trapping the lucky and greedy. And when I was in a casino in the town of Macaw, he captured me and fed off of my good luck."

"He was basically a luck vampire then." surmised Ven.

Gladstone nodded.

"So your luck was basically like an all-you-can-eat-buffet for him since you're a lucky goose." surmised Max.

"Got that right Goofy Jr." Gladstone said. "And let me tell you, it wasn't pleasant. While I did enjoy winning a lot of stuff in that casino, it began to get so boring up to the point that I didn't want ot be there anymore. But I couldn't leave."

"He wouldn't let you." Terra said with a frown.

"Bingo." said Gladstone. "Believe me, everytime I tried to leave, I would always get dragged back in, forced to interact with fake people in fake scenery that should've been paradice for me, but was a living nightmare."

"So how did you get out?" asked Kairi.

Donald and Scrooge sighed in annoyance.

"Uncle Gladstone phoned us one day saying that he needed help." said Huey.

"When we were supposed to be visiting the Temple of the Golden Cricket and here it's mystical chirp!" Scrooge added.

"Didn't that adventure end up being a dud?' asked April.

"Sadly yes." Scrooge muttered.

"The six of us went to find him while Launchpad went to go find an old friend of his." said Dewey as the memory showed Donald, Scrooge, Huey, Louie, Webby, and himself entering the casino. "Though at the time, we weren't sure what was wrong as everything looked ok."

"Appearances can be deceiving." said Minnie.

"And when we got there, he seemed perfectly fine," said Louie. "The only helped he needed was spending his winnings."

The scene showed Gladstone and Louie swimming around in gambling tokens.

"Spending his winnings?" Violet asked in disbelief.

"What? I couldn't tell them what was really going on! They wouldn't let me!" Gladstone exclaimed.

"So what did you do?" asked Roxas.

"Well we tried to make the most out of being there since Gladstone was so insistent that we'd stay." said Webby.

"And we were having fun since he did consider him the 'cool uncle.'" added Dewey.

"Oof, that must've hurt you." Myde said to Donald.

Donald just growled to himself.

"And yet for some reason, Gladstone tried to make sure Uncle Donald was near him." said Webby.

"And why was that?" asked Mickey.

"Since I couldn't tell Donald and Scrooge my problem I figured maybe I could get Donald to break my lucky winning streak, because you know, he's well…" Gladstone trailed off.

"Bad luck." said Scrooge.

"A complete and total jinx?" asked Sora.

"The worst." finished Dewey.

"Yeah that's right." said Gladstone.

Everyone was shocked.

"Well that's a nice way of calling for help." Riku huffed with his arms folded.

Donald nodded in agreement.

"Wow, and you couldn't tell them discreetly?" Lea adsked.

Gladstone chuckled nervously. "Yeah, that thought never really crossed my mind." he admitted.

"But even with Uncle Donald near Uncle Gladstone, his luck still remained lucky while Uncle Donald's remained unlucky." said Louie.

The memories showed Gladstone winning at various games, Louie happily looking up to him, and Donald feeling annoyed.

"When I tried to leave, Gladstone stopped me and that's when his imprisonment was revealed." said Donald.

The image showed Liu Hai transforming into his large demon form.

"Ok now he looks even creepier." shuddered Max.

"That's when Liu Hai revealed his true colors." said Webby. "He apparently wanted Gladstone to reign us over because he wanted to feed off of Uncle Scrooge's luck."

"Why him?" asked Myde.

"Maybe because since he's been adventuring for over 100 years and is insanely rich, he figured that he must be even more lucky than Gladstone." suggested Goofy.

Everyone looked at Goofy in surprise.

"Am I wrong?" Gofoy asked in confusion.

"Nope, you were right." said Huey.

"But I told that demon reptilian that luck had nothing to do with my success." said Scrooge. "So we decided to do a game to prove it. I win, he let us go. He wins, we stay permanently."

"Obviously you won, but not at a cost, right?" asked Xion.

"Thankfully no… though, almost." said Louie, glaring at his lucky uncle, who could only look away."

"Liu Hai had Donald and Gladstone go against each other." said Scrooge. "His game, his rules."

"And Gladstone didn't even bother to try to lose to help free us!" Donald snarled.

"I told you, I couldn't help it if my luck was helping me win!" Gladstone exclaimed.

"You braley even sounded sorry." scoffed Dewey.

The image showed the challenge Donald and Gladstone went through. While Gladstone was able to get through it easily with a scratch, Donald ended up getting humiliated; hit, burned, soaked, dodging death traps, getting attacked by an emerald tiger, everything making the heroes wince. And all Gladstone could say was,

"I'm sorry, Don, I really am, but I literally just can't lose."

"Man, I'm really sorry about this, I mean obviously not sorry enough to sign up for a lifetime of servitude, but..."

Everyone glared at Gladstone.

"Well you really know how to send mixed messages." said Lena, arms folded.

"I told you I was sorry!" Gladstone exclaimed.

"Yet not sorry enough to flunk the challenge." huffed Dewey.

"Uncle Donald was about to give up, but Louie was to encourage him." said Webby.

"C'mon, Uncle Donald. So you have the worst luck in the world. Who cares? No matter how bad things get, like really, really bad, you keep going. It's kind of ridiculous. You've never had the common sense to give up before, why start now?"

Everyone smiled rapidly at Louie, who could only smirk back.

The image showed Donald roaring at the tiger, making it poof away. Donald then zoomed up the buffet of many lands whilGladtsoen picked up a 20 dollar bill.

"Where did that come from?" asked Oswald, confused.

"20 bucks always appears in front of Gladstone." shrugged Mickey.

The image showed Donald zooing over Gladstone and he skidded across the finish line. Scrooge and the kids cheered while Liu Hai was shocked.

Everyone applauded.

"Well done Donald!" cheered Daisy as she kissed his cheek, making Donald blush.

"Initially, Liu Hai was gonna keep Gladstone, but I reminded him that since Donald won, he should keep him instead." Scrooge said casually.

Everyone who wasn't there that night gasped, especially when they sae Liu Hai ball-chain Donald's ankle and poof the others out of the casino.

Daisy suddenly picked up Scrooge by his collar, much to his surprise as she glared daggers in his face.

"YOU LET A LUCK VAMPIRE KEEP MY BOYFRIEND HOSTAGE?!" she snapped.

"Daisy calm down!" shouted Donald as he pried his love off of Scrooge.

"That's what we thought too." said Louie, gesturing to the memory.

"I can't believe you just gave him up!" snapped Louie.

"The kid's not wrong, Uncle McDunkle. What do we do?" asked Gladstone.

"At least you care." muttered Donald.

"Three, two, one..." Scrooge counted.

Donald was suddenly kicked out of the casino and into Gladstone.

"Wait what?" asked Lea.

The memory showed a now powerless Liu Hai at the door.

"His luck is awful! So awful!" he moaned before he and his casino were sucked through a portal as he screamed, "SO AWFUL!"

The portal closed.

"Oh I get it! Feasting off of Donald's bad luck ended up draining his powers!" said Sora.

"Got it in one Sora." nodded Huey.

"And since that day, Uncle Donald has always been the cool uncle." Dewey said as the triplets hygge dhim.

"Aww, thanks boys." Donald misled as he hugged them back.

Everyone smiled at the scene.

"Well that explains why Donald hates Gladstone right now." said Lea.

"Come on Donaldo, it was around a year ago." said Gladstone, walking up to his cousin. "I am sorry for what I did."

"Sorry won't cut it you loafer." Donald huffed. "You put our family in danger just to save your sorry ass. We almost became trapped in a gambling house for a luck vampire for good!"

"I didn't want you guys trapped!" Gladstone exclaimed. "I was hoping that we could all get out of there and I could live my life again!"

"There you go again, it's always about your lucky life with you!" snapped Donald.

"Should we interfere?" asked Ven.

"Let's leave them to talk." said Aqua.

Everyone else left to the portal, leaving Donald and Gladstone alone.

"You always care about yourself." Donald said angrily. "You always rely on your luck to get through life while the rest of us work hard to get through life."

"Do you really think this little of me D-Money?" Gladstone asked.

Donald sighed. "Gladstone, I used to think the world of you when we were kids, not as much as Della or Daisy but still a lot. I saw you and Fethry as my brothers despite how much I hated your luck. Me, You, Della, Daisy and Fethry, the five of us were the ultimate adventuring team together. We played together, fought together, sometimes we were raised together, it was really fun even if I had an unfair share of bad luck. I thought we'd be adventuring and fighting side by side forever." he said before sighing again. "But it's clear that was never meant to be, we've chosen different paths. There may still be some good in you but at the end of the day I'm me and you're you. We're all our own people. Fethry...there's no saving him from his insanity anymore. My friends got hurt because of his coo-koo bananas ways… Della's gone and lost out there somewhere in space... Daisy has important jobs, you're a lazy loafing loathsome layabout who traded his own family to save himself and had everything handed down to him on a single platter without going through any hardships simply because you're luck and I'm bad luck 24/7. Life is about change, people grow but you.. .you just want to stay the same. Sure, so did Della but in a good way. All you ever cared about was luck and yourself, never about family unless something happened that affected all of us. But you, all you ever do is care about you, never once giving thought to the rest of us."

Gladstone could only look at Donald it a sad expression before sighing. "Yeah...maybe this deal I've made is the best for us. I just wanted to make things right, but I guess if you don't want it, then that's on me. It's probably better that we never see each other again." (5)

Donald could only nod. He then walked away, leaving Gladstone alone.

---

Donald met up with everyone at the portal.

"So…?" June asked.

"I'm not talking to that deadbeat again." Donalkd said.

"Wise choice lad." said Scrooge.

"C'mon Donald, you don't really mean that," said Sora.

"He does seem like he's sorry for what he did." said Kairi.

"I don't even know what to make of him anymore." Donald grunted. "He and Fethry shouldn't have come."

"Fethry was just trying to help." Kairi pointed out.

"You, your boyfriend, and the mullet-haired lad got hurt because of his crazy idea." said Scrooge. "Much like the rets of us just to find rainbow seahorses."

"Well at least he was trying." Aqua said.

"Do you think you'll ever be able to speak to your cousins again?" Goofy asked.

"I dunno Goofy. I just don't know." Donald sighed.

Everyone was silent. Mickey finally spoke up.

"C'mon fellas. Let's go get something to eat."

"Good idea your majesty." said Scrooge. "Beakley and Duckworth should have lunch prepared by now."

With that, everyone walked through the portal.

---

About an hour later everyone was finishing up lunch in the dining room.

"So what's gonna happen to your cousins?" Myde asked. "Are they staying or something?"

"I would like them to leave soon." Donald huffed.

"C'mon Donald, at least give them a chance." said Kairi. "They are your family after all."

"As I keep saying, Gladstone is a lazy loafer and a deadbeat who never does anything worthwhile thanks to his luck." Donald grumbled.

"And Fethry is too eccentric for his own good." added Scrooge sharply. "He always drags us into meaningless adventures that put us in danger, and when he tried to help, it becomes anything but."

"It sounds like you guys are being too hard on them." said Lea with a frown.

"Lea's right." said Isa. "While Gladstone dragging you guys into saving him from that demon, he does sound regretful for his actions. I mean, why would he come all the way out here to see you? Just to flaunt his luck in your faces?"

"And from what I've seen, Fethry means well." said Sora. "Yeah he can be… excited, but that doesn't necessarily make him bad."

"And they came all this way to see you guys." added Naminé.

"I know they can be a bit… much in terms of luck and eagerness, but you know that they love you very much." said Minnie.

"The least you can do is give them another chance instead of rebuffing their attempts to be with their family." saif Oswald.

"Besides, didn't you say that family is the greatest adventure of all Uncle Scrooge/" Huey asked with a smirk.

Donald and Scrooge were silent.

"At least let them try instead of pushing them away." said Sora. "The last thing you want is to do to them what you did to each other after Della left."

"Sora's right. Sure, maybe Uncle Gladstone's luck may have dragged us all into a demon's grasp, but if he truly never felt remorse for his actions, why wouldn't he came all the way out here?" said Dewey.

"And Fetrhy isn't cuckoo bananas. He's like me, smart, misunderstood, and a nerd." Huey said.

Donald and Scrooge pondered what everyone had said.

"Well with that said, we should get back to training the army." said Mickey.

"You guys go do that." said Louie. "My bros and honorary sisters are gonna go to Funzo's Fun Zone."

"Alright, but you guys be careful out there." said Daisy.

"Don't worry Aunt Daisy, We will." promised June.

"And don't forget, my one-man show is tonight." Sora piped up.

"Don't worry, we'll be there." Riku smirked.

With that, everyone left the kitchen and went their separate ways. Donald and Scrooge were still thinking about what they had been told.

"Should we really give them a chance?" Donald asked.

"I dunno lad. I just don't know." Scrooge sighed. "Sure they have annoyed us numerous times in the past…"

"But they are family." Donald said, conflicted.

"I think you two know what the right answer is." said Daisy as she placed hands on both their shoulders.

As the three walked, Donald accidentally stepped on the TV remote, turning on the TV in the screening room.

"Ouch! Who forgot to put the remote away?!" he exclaimed as he clutched his foot.

"Wait, look what's on TV!" Daisy said, piutning.

The three ducks looked and saw a familiar duck on screen. It was a female olive-green duck with large blonde hair that reached her shoulders, dressed in a lavender suit and pants, a light green undershirt, and black heels. She was in a helicopter and the scenery through the windshield appeared to be an old-fashioned town… and it appeared to be glowing.

"This is Roxanne Feathery reporting live above Fort Duckburg, where a group of hikers have discovered a mysterious green glow in the sky above the old village." Roxanne said. "No one knows what this is. But what we do suspect is that it's related to magic."

"Mysterious green glow? That doesn't sound good." said Daisy.

"We'd better go check it out," said Scrooge with narrowed eyes. "If there's mysterious magic afoot, then danger lurks behind it.

---

Fort Duckburg:

Launchpad drove the limo into a tree.

"We're here!" he said.

Donald, Scrooge, and Daisy stumbled out of the limo.

"Thank ye Launchpad. Drive back to the castle and have the Rescue Rangers fix the limousine up." Scrooge said as he regained his senses.

"No prob Mr. McDee." Launchpad said as he reversed the limo into a rock and then drove away.

"How that man hasn't killed us baffles me." Donald grumbled.

"Don't worry about that Donald, we have a mysterious glow to check out." said Daisy.

"Right, let's go." said Scrooge.

The three ducks carefully made their way up the hill towards the old town, Doanld having Centurion and Unbound in his grasp, Daisy with Spellbinder in hers, and Scrooge brandishing the cane he got from Ludwig when he and Beakley had to stop Black Heron.

"So far no sign of any struggles." Scrooge said as he glanced left and right.

"But I feel like I've sensed this magic before." Donald said.

"Aye, so do I lad." said Scrooge.

Suddenly, the glow began to rise up and above the town.

"What's going on?" Daisy asked nervously.

"The magic's lifting up. But why?" Donald said in concussion.

The green glow suddenly combined into what looked like a large circle. Suddenly, a bright beam of light shot out from the glow and a figure emerged from it as it vanished.

It was an emerald green toad with bright yellow eyes wearing emerald green robes and crown.

"Ah… Duckburg. It feel so good to be back!" the toad said evilly.

The ducks gasped.

"It… It can't be!" cried Scrooge.

"Liu Hai?!" Donald quacked in alarm.

"How are you alive?! I thought Donald's back luck killed you!" Daisy cried.

"That is the thing Ms. Daisy Duck, the love of Scrooge McDuck's mage nephew Donald, I never did die." Liu Hai replied. "Oh sure, his luck drained my power on such a massive scale… but I was abel to regain it."

"How did you regain your power?" Donald demanded.

"When I left this dimension, I went to another one and drained the luck of many lucky and greedy individuals." Liu Hai replied as he walked around Fort Duckburg. "Bit by bit of delicious luck, I regained my strength, becoming my powerful and enormous self once again."

Liu Hai cackled as his hands created green fiery magic. "And now that I have returned to Duckburg, I shall feast once more on the luck of people that live in it." he grinned. "But since you three are here, I can exact my revenge on the McDuck family for draining my power!"

"You daft demon!" Scrooge shouted. "The loss of your power was on you! I may have tricked you into taking Donald, but I already knew you would break the deal to begin with, You were that shady and greedy, which led to your downfall!"

"Yeah! Besides, we beat you before, and we'll beat you again!" Donald said determinedly, tightening his grip on his weapons.

"Oh really?" Liu Hai grinned as he cracked his knuckles. "I have learned that you have become more powerful with a Keybalde Donald Duck, and that your girlfriend has one of her own. But I spent an entire year regaining my power and perfecting my magic and fighting techniques. You may have magic of your own and Scrooge may be smart, tough, and sharp, but I am the ancient spirit of chance and fortune!"

"We'll see about that, you fat frog!" Daisy shouted.

"ATTACK!" Donald shouted.

Donald ran at Liu Hai first. He casted a Blizzaga spell that Liue Hai easily melted with his fire magic. But he was unprepared for Donald to suddenly blast him with a Firaga spell. Using this distraction, Daisy leapt over Donald and tried to cast Mega Flare at the demon. Liu Hai suddenly recovered and sent a wave of gamblign cards flying into the Duck coupe. Scrooge tried to get the jump on Liu Hai, but the spirit was able to teleport away from Scrooge. He then used his manipulation powers to lift up one of the coven wagons from Fort Duckburg and throw it at Scrooge. Donald quickly saved his uncle by blasting Liu Hai with a Thundaga spell. Lieu Hai quickly recovered and tossed several rolling dice that exploded upon impact. As the three Ducks dodged the explosion, Scrooge used the sound barrier to create a loud sound wave that made Liu Hai cover his ears. Scrooge used this distraction to fight Liue Hai hand-to-hand. Scrooge whacked Liu Hai in the face and then socked the demon in the stomach with his fist. Daisy blasted Liu Hai with a Wind Tracer spell, allowing Donald to bash his face with his staff and then blasted him with a Wateraga spell.

The three jumped back to catch their breaths as Liu Hai regaine dhis composure.

"Not so tough and mighty now, are you Liu Hai?" Scrooge taunted.

To their confusion, Liu Hai just laughed as he suddenly grew to a bigger size, shocking the three even further when he suddenly summoned flaming dice, cards, and gamplign wheels appeared around him.

"Who said I wasn't? That was just me getting warmed up!" Liu Hai laughed as he sent the cards flying their way.

Disney Castle:

Gladstone was looking at the sky as he sat on a lawn chair on one of the balconies. But instead of a relaxed smile, he was looking upset.

"Room for one more?"

The lucky gander looked and saw Fetrhy walk up from the hall. Gladstone lazily lifted his hand up and Fethry sat next to him on another lawn chair, both sighing in depression.

"I just get so excited whenever something good happens. Like whenever there's something new to discover and adventure can be part of discovering it no matter the dangers that lie ahead. And when there's a chance to help out, I just want to jump in and do my part. But in the end, the discoveries feel meaningless to everyone else and my helpfulness, as Donald put it, is 'cuckoo bananas.'" Fetrhy said sadly. "...I just want to spend time with the family. I don't feel like I belong with them anymore. I want to be part of it and help out in any way I can."

"Why, what's the point? You'll just end up being ignored." sighed Gladstone. "Even if you try to be part of the family, you get rejected because of your flaws and your attempts to make things better."

"You really were trying to make things right with Donald, Uncle Scrooge, and the kids, huh?" asked fethry,

"You don't think I felt bad about the casino incident?" Gladstone asked. "I know I put them in danger, Fethry. I only came to fully realize now and a while ago that my damn pride stopped me from feeling regret up until, well, now and a while ago. I want to make things right and I get blocked off… not that I blame them, especially Donald and Scrooge."

The two cousins sighed sadly.

"Man… is there anyone having a worse day than us?" Gladstone muttered.

Gladstone and Fethry then got up and walked back inside. They walked through the halls and went downstairs towards the screening room.

"Maybe some TV will cheer us up a bit before we leave." suggested Fethry.

"Once can only hope." shrugged Gladstone as they say on the couch.

Fethry turned on the TV and there appeared Roxanne Feathery, still in the news helicopter.

"Roxanne Feathery back again with an update on the mysterious green glow at Fort Duckburg." she said. "It has been confirmed that the glow has come from what appears to be a large green frog-like-monster. Fighting it appears to be billionaire Scrooge McDuck, his magical nephew Donald Duck, and former reporter Daisy Duck. And it would appear that the battle is basically anybody's win."

It showed Donald casting Blizzaga against Liu Hai, the demon responding by backhanding Donald away. Daisy tried to attack him with an Exo Spark spell while Scrooge used his cane to bounce off Liu Hai's head, only for the toad to grab Scrooge and throw him into Daisy.

Gladstone gasped. "Oh god… IT'S LIU HAI!" he cried.

Fethry gasped. "What?! That demon that trapped you?!" he asked.

"I recognize that toad demon anywhere!" Gladstone said as he glared at Liu Hai. "Looks like he regained his powers and is back to find more lucky people like me."

"And our family is losing to him!" Fethry cried. "We have to get help!"

Gladstone stopped Fethry from leaving the room by grabbing him by the shoulder.

"No can do, distant cuz, everyone else is busy with the army or the castle." he said.

Fethry then looked determined. "Then it looks like it's up to us to help Donald, Daisy, and Uncle Scrooge stop Liu Hai from imprisoning anyone anymore." he said firmly.

"I never thought I would have to see that hell raising luck vampire again." Gladstone muttered. "But he's hurting our family to get what he wants: luck." He turned to Fethry. "You're right, we have to help stop him. Question is, how are we gonna get there?"

Fethry smirked as he brought out a wooden whistle. "I got just the transportation." he grinned.

---

Fort Duckburg:

Donald tried bashing the cards with his weapons as he fired Thundaga at Liu Hai. But using his manipulation magic, he turned the spell into a playing card that he engulfed in flames. He then sent said flame flying into Donald, causing him to scream as he has he was sent flying into a large boulder. Donald tried to get up, but Liu Hai blasted him with multiple exploding dice.

"HEY! No one hurts the love of my life!" Daisy roared as she charged at Liu Hai with a battle cry.

Daisy jumped up and casted Meteor against Liu Hai. The toad demon simply smirked as he suddenly sent the spell bak at Daisy, causing her to fall to the ground. Daisy coughed as she got up, only for Liu Hai to smash the ground in front of her, sending her flying into a tree. Daisy tried to get up, but Liu Hai sent his gambling cards flying into Daisy, also exploding on impact.

"Lad! Lass!" Scrooge shouted as he growled at Liu Hai. "Alright you slimy spirit! Feel the wrath of Scrooge McDuck!" he roared.

Liu Hai sent the gampling wheels flying towards Scrooge. The richest duck in the world flipped onto the boards as he dodged incoming flaming dice and cards as he jumped from wheel to wheel. As he did so, Scrooge fired lasers from the spy cane, managing to blast Liu Hai in various spots. But the toad demon wasn't phased as he lifted the gampling wheel Scrooge was on into the air. Scrooge jumped from it and blasted Liu Hai with a helium cloud. Liu Hai lost his focus as Scrooge grabbed his cane with both hands and made sure to press it against Liu Hai's neck in an attempt to choke him. But Liu Hai had grabbed Scrooge suddenly and threw him into Donald and Daisy who had just recovered. The three toppled onto the ground.

Liu Hai cackled at his luck. "It seems as though you McDuck imbeciles are no match for me." he grinned maliciously. "It seems that your luck is beginning to run out."

Donald, Daisy, and Scrooge slowly got up, covered in cuts, bruises, blood, and burnt feathers.

"We're not out of luck yet, Liu Hai!" Donald shouted as he accosted Curaga on himself, his uncle, and soon-to-be-wife.

"For now!" Liu Hai cackled as he prepared to send a blast of magic at them.

But before Liu Hai could cast any spell on them, he was suddenly bashed into Fort Duckburg by a violet blur.

"What in blazes was that?!" exclaimed Scrooge.

"Ahoy there!"

The three looked up in surprise. There was Mitzy trying to hold back Liu Hai. And on top of her were Gladstone and Fethry!

"Gladstone?! Fethry?!" Donald exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey fam! Cousins to the rescue!" Gladstone said he and Fethry slid down Mitzy's back and landed in front of their family.

"What are you two doing here? And how did you know where we were?" Daisy asked.

"We saw what was going on on TV." said Fethry. "And since everyone else was busy, we knew that we were the only ones who could help."

"Especially since I've been Liu Hai's prisoner before and knew I could help." Gladstone added.

"Are you sure that you two can hold your own against that thing?" Scrooge asked.

"Well we want to help." said Fethry. "Look, I know that we don't have any powers and that you guys are never pleased whenever we're present, but please let us help you stop that demon!" he begged.

"He's right, you know." said Gladstone. "Look, I know we've messed up before with my luck and ego and his overexcited ways, but we want to make things right with you as well as save Duckburg as well as possibly the world at the same time."

Donald and Scrooge traded glances while Daisy gave them firm looks.

"Look, their family." she said firmly. "And family always helps family."

Donald and Scrooge were silent before the former spoke up. "Ok you two. You can help." Donald said. "But you have to be very careful. Liu Hai's gotten stronger."

"He has? Huh, must've spent a lot of time in the Spirit Emergency Recovery Unit or whatever they do to regain their powers." Gladstone commented.

"Don't worry Cousin Donald, we'll be careful!" promised fethry.

"You'd better." Scrooge said firmly. "If we fail, evey lucky person in town will be feasted upon by that scandalous spirit until he dominates us all."

"But first, you'll need to be equipped!" Donald said as he summoned two staves into the air.

Gladstone caught Lord Fortune and Fethry caught Magnus Staff.

"Ooh just my color!" Fethry grinned.

"Lord Fortune eh? Just my style." Gladstone smirked. He turned to Donald. "Will the magic work with us?" he asked.

"Whenever Donald offers any of his staves to anyone who isn't a mage, the magic comes right from the staff since it's connected to him." Daisy said. "The same applies to Goofy whenever he offers any of his shields to anyone else."

"Oh that sounds so cool!" Fethry said giddily.

Suddenly, Mitzy was thrown over their heads.

"Mitzy! No!" Fethry cried out in horror.

"That abomination of nature was finished." Liu Hai said as he stomped over to the five McDuck family members. "Well well well, what do we have here? The McDuck family's excitable sea-creature lover… ah, and my old endless supply of luck, Gladstone Gander!" he grinned.

"Uh, hey Liu ol' pal." Gladstone said nervously. "Uh, any chance you wanna surrender so I, my fam, and every other lucky guy around these parts won't have to die? Because if you don't, then it's gonna get really messy."

Liu Hai cackled. "You honestly think you can defeat me? I am the ancient spirit of chance and fortune!" he said evilly. "All of your luck has run out. And Gladstone Gander's won't be able to save you in the end!"

"W-W-Well that's where you're wrong Liu Hai!" Fethry stammered, trying to be brave. "We don't need luck to beat you! Family is all the strength that we need to stop you!"

"Is that so?" Liu Hai asked with faux-intriguement.

"Yes. I may have not been considered part of the family because of my tendency to get overexcited about, well, just about anything, which leads to a lot of announce from everyone… but I know I am a part of this family because I care about them too much to watch them and any other innocent person suffer!" Fethry said determinedly.

"You got that right cuz." Gladstone said as he faced Liu Hai. "My luck may have always worked out for me, allowing me to never have to work in my life, annoying my family to no end. And sure, maybe it makes me look like I don't care about my fam. But under all that luck in my heart… is care. I do care about my family even if I don't show it. And for that, I will fight for them!"

"You see Liu Hai? Luck may be your power…" Daisy began.

"But family and friends are ours!" Donald said defiantly.

"And we will use that power to end your already ensign wrath" Scrooge finished as he, his nephews, and soon-to-be-nice-in law got into fighting positions.

"We'll see about that." Liu Hai said as he got into a fighting position.

Mission: Defeat Toad Liu Hai!

Party Members:
Donald Duck

Daisy Duck

Scrooge McDuck

Gladstone Gander

Fethry Duck

Liu Hai unleashed a hoard of flaming dice that circled towards the five ducks. Donald quickly froze five of them in place with a Blizzard spell and then ran at Liu Hai, trying to strike him with a Raging Storm spell. Liu Hai smirked as he raised the path Donald was on, lifting high and then making said path force Donald to crash into one of the stands at Fort Duckburg. But while Liu Hai was disctratcted, Gladstone ran up behind him and bashed him in the ankles with his temporary staff. Liu Hai looked down just as Gladstone blasted him in the face with a Fire spell. Daisy then ran up towards Liu Hai and blasted him in the chest with a Firaga Burst spell. Liu Hai then unleashed a barrage of magic that wrapped around Daisy and Gladstone, turning into chains that tied them together. Lieu Hai cackled as he was about to crush the two with a casino wheel, only to get blasted by an Aero spell by Fethry who ran at him. Scrooge freed Daisy and Gladstone with the laser option on his spy cane. Scrooge then jumped off and bounced off Liu Hai's head with his cane like a pogo stick. Liu Hai suddenly grabbed Scrooge and an incoming Fethry with his hands, smashed them together before throwing them screaming into the fence at Fort Duckburg.

"You have no chance! This is your fortune!" Liu Hai mocked as he sent a shockwave of energy at the five ducks, which they managed to quickly recover from.

Daisy casted Wateraga at Liu Hai, only for the demon to manipulate it by freezing the spell in place, making it fall to the ground and shatter. Daisy tried to dodge a hex spell Liu Hai threw at her, only for the spirit to make the attack work in his favor and sent the hex chasing Daisy, making laugh maniacally. Fethry ran back at Liu Hai. The ancient spirit tried to lash Fethry with emerald chains similar to Anton Vanko/Whiplash. Fetrhy was able to dodge them as he blasted Liu Hai's face with a Spark spell. Liu Hai snarled as he wrapped his chains around Fethry, spun him around, and then threw him into one of the covered wagons. Scrooge flipped up and wahecked Liu Hai multiple times across the face before he upper-kicked him in the chin. Liu Hai tried to grab Scrooge, but the oldest duck in the group blasted his hands with the laser. But Scrooge's small victory was short-lived when Liu Hai raised the ground underneath Scrooge, making him fly through the air and crashing into the sign over the entrance. Gladstone discreetly casted a Mega Flare spell at the back of Liu Hai's head. The demon frog growled as he summoned two jade tigers and sent them at Gladstone. But Donald came to his side.

"Budapest?" Donald smirked.

"Budapest." Gladstone smirked back.

Back-to-back, Donald and Gladstone fight against the jade tigers. Donald whacked one in the head and jumped high to avoid it's swiping paw against him. Donald blasted the jade tiger back with a Thundara spell and then casted Dark Firaga at it with his Keyblade, obliterating it. Gladstone easily dodged the other jade tiger's attacks as it tried to pounce on him. As it tried to leap onto Gladstone's head, the gander backed its neck with his temporary staff and then casted a Thunder Shot spell, olbitertating it.

"Not bad cuz." Donald commented.

"Not bad yourself." Gladstone said back.

"But this is!"

Donald and Gladstone looked up and saw Liu Hai bring down his fist towards them. But just before he could crush the cousins, Fethry quickly pushed them out of the way, just as Liu Hai's fist hit the ground.

"Whoa! Thanks, Fethry!" Doanld said in surprise.

"Oh, no problem Donald!" Fetrhy said as they got up.

"How are we gonna stop this guy?!" Daisy exclaimed as Liu Hai sent a wave of gambling chips towards her, lifting her into the air like Marluxia's cherry blossom wave.

"His power's gotten stronger since last year!" Scrooge exclaimed as he was wrapped in emerald chains once more and tossed into another stand.

"Do you think he's feeding off Gladstone's luck again?" Fethry asked.

"If he was, I would've felt it." Gladstone replied.

"He fed off the luck of other lucky individuals in another dimension." said Donald.

The three cousins were suddenly lifted into the air by a queen card and then were thrown into the statue of Cornellius Coot.

"Ouch… sorry ancestor fam…" Gladstone said dizzily as Tweety birds circled around his head.

Daisy was then thrown into a picket fence by the gambling chip wave.

"This guy is insane!" Daisy said as she rubbed her sore tailfeathers.

"There has got to be a way to stop this dastardly demon." Scrooge said, popping his shoulder back into place.

Fethry turned to Gladstone. "You said he was basically a luck vampire right? Draining people's luck as if it was blood?" he said.

"Yeah that's what it pretty much was." Gladstone nodded as they stood up.

"Maybe we can defeat him through the source of his power core." Fethry suggested.

"Ya lost me lad." Scrooge said, confused.

Doanld's eyes widened. "Wait, keep explaining Fethry." he said.

"Well, power usually comes from the heart right? Not mattering if it's the physical one or the vital organ." Fethry said. "So if his power is luck, it's probably got a connection to his heart."

"He's right!" Daisy exclaimed. "And hearts can be easily connected."

"Then let's sever that connection and its power for good!" Scrooge said determinedly.

"Question is, how?" said Fethry.

"I think I have an idea." Donald smirked.

They were suddenly interrupted when Liu Hai blasted them into an old-timey home with a hex wave.

"Foolish little fowls." he smirked. "You honestly think you can defeat an ancient spirit like me? I am invincible! I don't even need Gladstone Gander's luck to win. All the luck from the foolish and greedy have made me the equivalent of a god!"

"Toad-y, you ain't a god." Gladstone huffed as he, his cousins, uncle, and soon-to-be-cousin-law emerged from the debris.

"Indeed, we've met gods before in this world and many others." said Scrooge.

"And we will defeat you!" Donald said determinedly.

"And how pray tell will you do that?" Liu Hai asked smugly. "Your mage friend here is nothing but bad luck, counterattacking Gladstone's good luck in your attempts to defeat me."

"We don't need luck to defeat you." Daisy scoffed.

"All we need is each other to stop you!" said Scrooge. "Our family is our strength!"

"I may have thought that I didn't need these two in my life, but I was wrong." Donald said as he looked at Gladstone and Fethry. "These two are the closest things to have to brothers. They're my family. When the chips are down, they know when to help us protect those we care about, including each other." His expression became guilty. "I'm sorry I tried to push you away." he said.

"And we're sorry if we ever over-annoyed you." Gladstone said with a smile. "But even then, we were willing to make things right with you, even while having to save the world to do so. Because we really do care."

"Junior Woodchuck Rule 162: A Junior Woodchuck looks out for their fellow Woodchucks, no matter the cost." Fethry added with a smile.

Donald smiled at his cousins, as did Scrooge. Daisy looked at them proudly.

Liu Hai cackled. "How quaint. Your family can't save you now!" he said as he conducted some more magic in his hands. "No amount of luck can save you from the wrath of TOAD LIU HAI: ANCIENT SPIRIT OF CHANCE AND FORTUNE!"

Fethry pulled out his whistle. "Oh I think we can still pull through!" he said as he blew into the whistle.

Liu Hai was confused until he was slammed into a tall tree by a now-recovered Mitzy.

"You! You rotten freak of nature! I thought I ended you!" Liu Hai scowled as he attempted to wrap Mitzy up in his jade chains.

"Not so fast you overgrown frog!" Daisy yelled as she held up her Keyblade and casted Raging Storm at Liu Hai, making him lose control of the chains.

Fethry climbed up on top of Mitzy.

Donald ran to help Daisy incapacitate Liu Hai. "Uncle Scrooge! Keep him distracted!" Donald shouted as he blasted a Thundaga spell at Liu Hai.

Scrooge nodded as he ran at Liu Hai. "Oi! Frog Face! Get this sound out of your ears!" he shouted as he used the soundwave feature on his cane.

Liu Hai covered his eyes, trying to block out the noise, only to get struck in the face by Mitzy.

"Aim for the eye!" shouted Fethry.

Mitzy socked Liu Hai in his left eye.

"Go for the jaw!" Fethry commanded.

Mitzy socked Liu Hai's lower jaw, making a slight cracking noise.

"Whack him girl!" Fetrhy said.

Mitzy spun around and used her tail to whack Liu Hai into the town of Fort Duckburg.

"Atta girl!" Fethry praised.

"Hold him down!" Donald called.

While Mitzy grabbed Liu Hai's arms, Donald and Daisy used Bind spells to help. Scrooge used the sound barrier on his cane to keep Liu Hai from using his mind to cause more attacks.

"You cannot defeat me! I am invincible! I am a powerful demon! I! AM! LUCK!" Liu Hai roared.

"Well guess what Liu Hai? Your luck has run out!"

Liu Hai saw Gladstone leap from a tall tree he had snuck over to climb and jump from. In his grasp was a piece of a picket fence. Gladstone landed on the demon's chest before staring down at Liu Hai with a glare. Without hesitation, Gladstone stabbed the fence piece into Liu Hai's heart. No sooner did he do that, there was a bright flash as Liu Hai screamed in pain. Mitzy let him go as Gladstone hopped off and onto the ground, joining Donald, Daisy, and Scrooge.

A bright beam shot out from Liu Hai as he roared in pain, feeling his power and life draining from him.

"MY LUCK! MY PRECIOUS LUCK!" Liu Hai screamed as he was engulfed in the beam.

Liu Hai suddenly faded into a black silhouette with only his yellow eyes showing. An emerald green beam of light shot from his stabbed wound in his heart as he dissolved into a dark mist that disappeared into the larger beam of light. The beam of light turned into an orb of light that exploded all across fort Duckburg.

It was done. Toad Liu Hai was dead.

(Chernabog Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts ends)

Some time later, various reporters and police officers were interviewing the five family members about what had happened. One officer was a Latina duck with brown feathers, dark brown hair that went just past her shoulders, orange earrings, a dark red tank top, a grey jacket, black pants, a golden wristwatch on her left arm, and a grey necklace with a police officer badge attached. It was Fenton's mom, Officer Cabrera.

Mitzy had left so not to frighten the public.

"Are you positive that the giant toad will not return?" Roxanne Feathery asked.

"Positive." Scrooge replied. "The demon has been smitten for good."

"My lucky cousin here made sure of it." Donald said proudly, making Gladstone smile.

"And what's going to happen to to Fort Duckburg as it was the scene of the fight?" Roxanne asked.

"McDuck Enterprises will fund repairs to the ancient town and restore it to its former glory." Scrooge replied. "We'll even throw in a new statue of our founder, Cornelius Coot."

While they talked, Donald took Gladstone and Fethry to the side.

"Gladstone, Fethry… I just want to say thank you for helping us stop that demon." he said.,

"Oh it was no trouble at all." Fethry said modestly.

"Just trying to help protect others." Gladstone added.

"But that's not the only reason why I took you to the side." Donald said before sighing. "I'm sorry that I have been so cold and annoyed with you two." he said apologetically. "I guess I still find myself living in the past at times. I always remember you two for Gladstone's luckiness and laziness and Fethry's nutty ways and wasteful adventures. I shouldn't have tried to push you two away. I just remember the bad times and never focus on the good times. The three of us, Daisy, and Della had such good times during our childhood, you two sometimes helped me look after the boys before you went your separate ways, and even if you don't show it so often, you really do care about our family." he turned to Gladstone. "Gladstone, I know now that you're sorry for what happened in Macaw and you really do care for us. I just let my hatred for your luck cloud my mind." He then turned to Fethry. "And Fethry, Daisy was right: you aren't cuc-koo bananas, you're just an excited guy, kinda like Webby. You do mean well even your adventures end up benign a waste of time and nearly get us killed. All in all, I am sorry for the way I acted towards you two."

"Hey don't worry about it Donaldo." Gladstone smiled. "We ain't mad. And we understand too. I know what happened in Macaw was on me for putting you all in danger. And I braley even seemed sorry for it until Uncle Scrooge let Liu Hai take you prisoner. Believe me cuz, I was feeling guilty, but I let my damn pride cloud my judgement and just continued to act like a lucky jerk. I am sorry for what happened that day. I wanted to make things right and reconnect with you and the rest of the family."

"And I wanted to reconnect as well." Fethry said. "I know I can be over excited and my eagerness to help can lead to… incidents. But I just want to feel like I'm part of the family again. I hardly see you guys anymore and you never answer my calls, texts, and letters. You guys are my family and I miss you all. I guess I let my eagerness to help and reconnect got the better of me and annoyed you to no end. But even then, I tried to remember Junior Woodchuck Rule 3: No matter how hard things get, never give up on a fellow Woodchuck… though in this case, it applied to the family."

"We forgive you for being hostile D-Money." said gladstone.

"Thanks you two." Donald smiled.

With that, the three cousins shared a hug.

After talking things over with the reporters and police, Daisy and Scrooge walked up, having heard the three boys talk.

"So you three on good terms now?" asked Daisy.

"We sure are Daisy." Donald replied.

"I knew you guys could make amends." Daisy said proudly. She turned to Scrooge. "Speaking of which…" she said, gesturing from him to them.

Scrooge sighed as he approached Fethry and Gladstone. "Gladstone, Fethry, I'm sorry I've been rough with you as well." he said. "What Donald saisd applies to me as well, but I'm older and I should be wiser than that. Even now when I have time away from my business for my family, I still pushed you two away. I was always annoyed that Gladstone got everything for nothing thanks to his luck and Fethry for always dragging us on a meaningless adventure. Gladstone, I know you have a good heart deep down, and Fethry, I know you mean well too despite your jovial ways. I should've been fairer to you despite everything else. You two both proven yourselves to be very heroic and brave when the chips are down, so to speak."

"Thanks Uncle McDuncle." Gladstone grinned. "And don't worry, we forgive you."

"And we can help any way we can in the future," said Fethry. "Whether it's with the castel, the army or, looking after the kids."

"We'd like that." Daisy smiled.

Officer Cabrera approached the five. "On behalf of the Duckburg Police Force, we'd like to thank the five of you for your heroic actions in stopping that luck demon." she said. "Our comrades-in-arms over at Macaw said that various people disappeared near the location of The House of Lucky Fortune last year. And the same might've been done again, only much more worse had you not come to stop him."

"We're happy to be of service, Officer Cabrera." Donald said.

"That's good." Officer Cabrera nodded. "With that said, I shall head back to the station. Let my son know his mama loves him and plans to stop by the castle the next time he's there."

Daisy giggled. "Fenton will love that.' she said.

As the reporters and cops left, Gladstone spoke up.

"So… what shall we do now to celebrate our victory?" he asked.

"Well Sora's one man show is tonight." said Donald, checking his Gummiphone. "Oh, and it only starts in an hour. We can still make it!"

"But how? Mitzy already left and Launchpad probably drove everyone else there in the limo." Fethry pointed out.

Donald and Daisy grinned as they tossed up their Keyblades and they turned into their gliders.

Gladstone let out an impressed whistle while Fethry was in awe. "Sweet rides." Gladstone commented.

"Hop on." said Daisy.

Gladstone and Scrooge got onto Donald's glider while Fethry got onto Daisy's. The Duck couple then soared away with them towards the theater.

Disney Town Theater:

Numerous people were in line for the one-man show performances. Kairi, Riku, Terra, Ven, Aqua, Roxas, Naminé, Xion, Lea, Isa, Myde, Mickey, Goofy, Minnie, Max, Oswald, Ortensia, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, June, Beakley, Launchpad, Ludwig, Goldie, Seifer, Rai, Fuu, Vivi, and even Gyro, Fenton, and Gandra were amongst them.

"Boy, a lot of people showed up tonight." commented Riku.

"Well Sora is amongst several people not from this world that's helped save it." said Xion.

"Aren't we all?" asked Roxas.

"Yeah, but Sora is pretty much a celebrity." giggled Kairi.

"How popular is he?" asked Gandra. "From what Fenton tells me, he's pretty famous."

"In a heroic sense across all the worlds, yes." said Terra.

"So how did he get to score himself a one-man show to perform?" asked Louie.

"From what he told us, Sora was interested in doing a show." said Aqua. "So after helping them move around some new equipment, they let him put on his own show."

"With our help in payment." Mickey chimed in.

Violet noticed some things coming towards them. "Everyone, what are those?" she asked.

Everyone looked up and saw Donald and Daisy ride in on their gliders with their family on board. The five steppe doff and the ducks' gliders vanished.

"Donald! Daisy! Scrooge! You made it!" Minnie beamed.

"And you brought Gladstone and Fethry too." Lea commented.

"Where were you guys?" asked Huey. "Launchpad said you guys we're dealing with a 'glowing old-time town' or something."

"Dealing with the return of Toad Liu Hai." Donald replied casually.

Those who knew the story were shocked.

"Uh, who's Liu Hai?" asked Seifer.

"Some sort of reptile villain?" guessed Fuu.

"You guessed correctly." Scrooge said. "That dastardly demon regained his luck power in another dimension to return to ours."

"Dimensional travel is a thing?!" Hayenr exclaimed.

"Awesome!" Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby cheered.

"Cool!" April, May, and June beamed.

"So did you guys have to fight him?" asked Lena.

"Yeah, but with the help of my cousins, we were able to take him down." Doanld said.

"It's true." Gladstone shrugged.

"And we made amends with Donald and Uncle Scrooge in the process!" Fethry chimed in.

"You did?" Naminé asked in surprise before smiling. "Good for you guys!"

"Yeah, we knew you could do it!" nodded Goofy.

"Thanks for the support!" Fethry smiled. "So when's the show?"

At that moment, the line started to move.

"Very soon." said Riku.

"C'mon, let's go get our seats." said Kairi.

Everyone nodded as they went inside.

---

Soon, everyone was seated as they talked amongst themselves. The chattering soon stopped as the lights dimmed down and Sora stepped onto the stage, getting a round of applause from the audience.

"Thank you all for coming to the show I'm so happy to be here." Sora said into his stage mic. "And I would also want to welcome the residents of Disney Castle, especially the Royal Family, especially since they do their part to keep this world safe whenever me and my friends aren;t visiting."

Everyone clapped their hands to the regular members of Disney Castle, who smiled bashfully.

"Now then, it is an honor to perform here tonight… so let's get this show started! I hope you enjoy!" Sora said.

Everyone applauded as thow began.

Time Lapse:

The audience watched as Sora did some spot-on imitations of his friends, using a Disneyland hat for Mickey, making his voice raspy for Donald, and getting comically hit by a random object, but feeling fine from it like Goofy…

Sora pretended he was sword fighting as he used his Keyblade like one…

Sora performed some kung fu moves, ranging from hard punches to jump kicks to frontflips to back flips...

After almost an hour, Sora addressed the audience again.

"Now before I end my show tonight, I want to take a moment to do a little something." Sora said. "I would like to do a dedication to the famous George M. Cohan, a famous music writer, actor, singer, and producer, who's music you are hearing right now. Like famous actor Joel Grey before me, I will do what he did for him back in 1986. I hope this will be enough to end the show on a good note.

A background of the American flag was pushed in, as was a a small statue of the Statue of Liberty as Sora caught a small hat that he put on his head. As the music changed Sora began to sing and dance to the beat .

(I Want to Hear a Yankee Doodle Tune plays)

Sora:I've always hated

This overrated

Pretentious music, complicated,

And compositions

That have conditions,

And intermissions that please musicians.

It's hard to hear it, or just be near it,

Upon my word I always fear it,

For I'm the original cranky, Yankee popular melody fool.

Give me a tune that's worth a listening,

Give me a tune that's worth a whistling.

I want a Sousa strain

Instead of a Wagner pain;

Give the trombones a chance to blow in it,

Give me a dash of rag and go in it.

What I'm stating

Is advocating

The popular melody school.

Sora began to march around.

Sora:I want to hear a Yankee Doodle tune,

Played by a military band.

I want to hear a Yankee Doodle tune,

The only music I can understand.

Oh! Sousa, won't you write another march,

Yours is just the melody divine.

You may have your William Tell,

Your Faust and Lohengrin as well,

But I'll take a Yankee Doodle tune... for... mine.

Someone off stage handed Sora a gag cane as the audience cheered.

(Give My Regards to Broadway plays)

Sora:Give my regards to Broadway!

Remember me to Herald Square!

Tell all the gang at Forty Second Street

That I will soon be there!

Whisper of how I'm yearning

To mingle with the old time throng!

Give my regards to Old Broadway

And say that I'll be there, 'ere long!

The song changed to a nice comber one as Sora stood in place, his taken hat off for it.

(Mary's a Grand Old Name plays)

Sora:But with propriety, society will say Marie

But it was Mary, Mary

Long before the fashions came

And there is something there that sounds so square

It's a grand old name

As the song changed once again to an upbeat one, Sora was handed a jacket decorated like the American flag as he put it on, along with his hat.

(Yankee Doodle Boy plays)

Sora:Yankee Doodle went to London

Just to ride the ponies

I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy

A Yankee Doodle, do or die

A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam

Born on the Fourth of July

I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart

She's my Yankee Doodle joy

Yankee Doodle came to London

Just to ride the ponies!

I am the Yankee Doodle boy

Sora began to do a tap dance break as the crowd cheered.

Sora:I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart

She's my Yankee Doodle joy

Yankee Doodle came to London

Just to ride the ponies!

I am

I am

I am

that Yankee Doodle... boy!

The audience roared with applause as Sora took off his hat and bowed.

Disney Castle:

Everyone was walking from the Sunchaser plane to the castle.

"That was an awesome show Sora!" praised Mickey.

"Yeah, it was so cool to watch!" Dewey added.

"You were amazing!" Kairi said as she pecked Sora on the cheek.

"Thanks guys." Sora smiled as he glanced down at Donald, Daisy, Scrooge, Gladstone, and Fethry. "So I heard that you five made amends when fighting a returned Liu Hai. That true?" he asked.

"Oh it was true alright!" Fethry said enthusiastically. "We kicked that demon's ass to the next life!"

Sora smiled. "I knew you guys would make amends. Family does care about one another." he said., "And you guys sure are family."

"You can say that again." Donald nodded.

"Well, now that that's taken care of, Fethry and I should probably be on our way." said Gladstone. He turned to his distant cousin. "C'mon cuz, you can bunk with me in the blimp for the night and then I'll take you back home."

"Sounds good. I gave Mitzy the rest of the day off so she could rest." Fethry nodded.

"Wait!" Donald called, causing his cousins to face him. "I cannot believe I'm saying this, but… you guys can stay longer if you want."

Everyone was taken aback by Donald's words.

"Is Donald saying what I think he's saying?" Goofy whispered to his son.

"I think he is Dad." Max nodded, surprised.

"Gee, and I thought Scroogie giving me permission to stay a while longer was surprising." Goldie commented.

"D-Money… are you sure?" Gladstone asked.

"Scrooge and I talked it over." Donald said. "We haven't seen you two for sometime. And you did help us stop Liu Hai from attacking everyone in this world."

"So whaddya say lads? His castle has the same amount of guest rooms as me mansion." Scrooge said.

Gladstone and Fethry looked at each other before mailing back at the group.

"We'd be happy to stay." Gladstone replied.

"We're glad you will be staying longer." Mickey smield.

"Just don't be so lazy Gladstone." Violet said. "We get that you're lucky, but we all have to chip in when necessary."

"And if you discover any more weird creatures underwater, make sure there are ones that are worth our time and risk of any obstacles, Fethry." Lena added.

"Can do Goth-Gal and Hummingbird." Gladstone nodded.

Lena and Violet were confused.

"Eh, he likes to give out nicknames if he doesn't remember our names." Dewey said, getting nods from the magic duck and hummingbird.

Lea opened the back doors. "With that said, why don't we watch a movie to end the night on a good note?" he suggested as he stopped inside.

But no sooner was Lea several steps inside the castle… he was hit by an oncoming racecar, much to everyone's alarm.

"Who rerouted the Disney Town 500 through the hallway?!" Lea shouted. (4)

---

Sometime later, everyone, including a recovering Lea, were seated in the screening room. Mickey plopped in a VHS as the ABC Sunday Movie Night film he and Minnie recorded years ago began to play.

The intro sounded off as the announcer said, "Tonight, an ABC presentation."

Everyone happily settled into the movie, especially Donald, Scrooge, Gladstone, and Fethry, who were happy to have made amends with one another.

To be continued...

---

And done!

Boy this one took a while to do! And it was hard!

Gladstone Gander and Fethry Duck have entered the story! Not only that, but we've also met Gandra Dee, Officer Cabrera, Li'l Bulb, and Manny. We've also briefly met Toad Liu Hai.

Rate and review and I'll see you next time!

Up next, our team meets a village leader and his emperor… who's been turned into a llama.

Here's what Sora's dance number(s) for his one-man show were based on: watch?v=8yS576UwQf0
