Now we get Della Duck reuniting with her family!
Enjoy!
Della wandered through Disney Town, looking at all the sights.
"Man, this place has not changed that much." Della remarked. She looked at the sun. "Yeesh, has the sun always been that bright?"
Della came to the gates in front of the path leading to Disney Castle's front door.
"Disney Castle… they gotta be here! They just gotta be!" said Della.
Della struggled to get up the gates. She took a deep breath jumped up to the gate… only to fall flat against it and slide down.
"Oof! Dumb Earth gravity… wont. Keep. Me. From. The kids!"
Della managed to climb over the gates. She trekked up the slope to the front doors.
During all of this, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Naminé, Roxas, Lea, Xion, Isa, Myde, Terra, Aqua, Ven, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Max, Oswald, Ortensia, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, June, Ludwig, Scrooge, and Beakley sat down to eat.
The world travelers were telling the senior ducks and Twilight Town trio about their adventure in Monstropolis.
"Doors that lead to closets across multiple worlds? Now that is an impressive invention." commented Ludwig.
"And here I thought I've seen it all on my adventures." said Scrooge. "But I agree with my brother-in-law, that is impressive."
"It does make sense as to why you three suddenly burst out of the closet at the manor." said Beakley.
"Our apologies if we scared you Mrs. Beakley." said Violet.
"None of the sort." Beakley said dismissively.
"So what were some of the worlds you visited through their closets?" asked Ludwig.
"Well me, Donald, and Goofy ended up here." said Mickey.
"And then we ended up at Agrabah!" said Goofy.
"We ended up on our home world; Destiny Islands!" said Sora.
"I will admit, it was weird being back after so long." said Kairi.
"We also went through this place that looked like a home to walking, talking frogs… and a young lady who looked Thai." said Riku.
"We ended up in Radiant Garden." said Terra.
"So did we!" chuckled Isa.
"But after that, we ended up in a house for demons… with a human who looked Spanish." said Ven.
"We went to a place that had a bedroom in what appeared to be an attic." said Naminé.
"We were in Twilight Town and a suburban home with two boys" said Roxas.
"Yeah, one had a triangle-shaped head and the other with an F-shaped head." added Lea.
"Ortensia and I ended up at the Mystic Arts Library and then what looked like the moon." said Oswald.
"Almost suffocated as well as knocked out what looked like aliens there." added Ortensia.
"Aliens on the moon?" pondered Scrooge. "That would be something."
"We ended up in Traverse Town!" Huey chimed in.
"We got to go to Midgar since we saw Rufus' office!" said May.
"And then a bunch of us got to go to Marty McFly's home!" said April.
"Not me and Webby; I accidentally scared a teenage boy in his room." said Dewey.
"And I scared two twin girls in theirs." Webby said sheepishly.
"We also ended up in two suburban homes." said Minnie.
"We accidentally ran into a duck with a lavender shirt." giggled Daisy.
"And then we ended up in Roxanne's house." Max said sheepishly.
Everyone laughed.
"That must've been quite a shock to her." Ludwig commented.
"Very awkward for me." Max weakly chuckled.
"We can imagine. That is your girlfriend after all." chuckled Sora. "Does she know you're a Keyblade Master?"
"Or even that you wield one?" added Lena.
"Yeah she knows, she knows." Max nodded. "Can't keep these kinds of secrets from her ever since the whole Powerline incident."
"By the way, you are wearing that costume next Halloween." said Dewey.
"Bet's a bet." Max shrugged.
"All we can say is, these nine kids were good help on our mission." said Lea.
"Aww please you're embarrassing us." giggled May.
"No you guys were a great help." insisted Oswald.
"He's right, we said it before and we'll say it again, you nine kids did a great job." said Donald.
"Yeah all those adventures with your Uncle Scrooge really paid off." said Ven.
The kids smiled happily.
"Well I'm glad they were of good help to you all." said Scrooge.
"I'm glad Webby's skills were put to good use; fighting and part-time babysitting." Beakley said.
"Oh granny!" Webby giggled.
Scrooge's phone chimed.
"Oh it's my lawyer." he said. "Gottas make sure I'm still ahead of Glomgold in our race."
Scrooge looked at his phone and grinned.
"Yep! Still in the lead!" he said.
"Oh yeah that weird bet to see who the richest duck in the world will be." said Roxas.
"Kinda seems like a pointless bet to me." said Aqua.
"Why would you think that?" asked Scrooge.
"Besides, Scrooge is already the richest duck in the world and Glomgold doesn't know how to properly use his money." said Huey.
"Still I can see where Aqua's going with this." said Terra. "From what you guys have told us in your stories, Glomgold seems like the kind of guy who would go to such dangerous lengths to try and win the bet."
"Yeah he's crazy, but there's got to be a reason why he even still has his money to begin with." said Sora.
"That would be Zan Owlson, who actually tries to make sure Glomgold doesn't destroy his company… or the city… or himself." said Huey.
"And besides, old Flinty won't be able to beat me. I'm Scrooge McDuck, tougher than the toughies, smarter than the smarties, and sharper than the sharpies." Scrooge scoffed.
"Still, he's not gonna play fair." said Riku. "We've seen this stuff before."
"Please, Glomgold isn't smart. He won't win." said Huey.
"Neither are Pete and Mortimer and yet they still know how to be a good threat even if they don't know how to tie their shoes right." said Sora.
"Remember when we told you about the gold shackles?" asked Mickey.
"Yes we remember." nodded Violet.
"Those were Vexen's old design to stop people with powers from summoning them." said Isa. "And somehow those two managed to get 5 invented to use on Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in Hill Valley when they went to 1885."
"We couldn't summon our weapons after that!" said Goofy.
"That is pretty disturbing." nodded Ludwig.
"Our point is, even the dumbest of villains can still be pretty bad." said Sora.
"Either to each other or to all of us." joked Lea.
Everyone laughed.
"Well I won't have to worry about Flinty beating me." Scrooge smirked. "With all the adventures and profits I make off of them and the mystical objects I find, I will still remain the richest duck in the world."
"And Glomgold's an idiot. He'll never win." added Louie.
"Again, from what the stories you've told us, we believe you." said Naminé.
"Until then, I shall continue to enjoy the adventures that come with it." said Scrooge. His eyes then lit up. "Speaking of which, I found something earlier today before you lot came back! I'll go and get it right now!"
And Scrooge ran off.
"He seems excited." commented Ortensia. "What did he find?"
"No idea." said Olette. "We didn't see him until a couple of hours ago today alone."
"Yeah we were busy helping the army learn their spells and mastering their Keyblade techniques." said Hayner.
"While also assisting the others with those who don't have Keyblades." Pence added.
"And unless someone tells us that another world is in danger, we're ready to continue the training." said Mickey.
"That's good to hear." said Beakley as she gathered the dishes.
"By the way, where's Launchpad?" asked Kairi.
"Back at the mansion having his Darkwing Duck marathon." Mrs. B. replied.
"Well in the end it was all an amazing adventure." Mickey said.
"And we were glad we could help." said Dewey.
"Yeah, it felt good in my heart to do such a noble act." added Webby.
"And this'll be good publicity for Louie Inc." Louie added.
"You really got your heart set on your future billionaire company don't'cha Louie?" asked Goofy.
"Guy loves his money after all." Lea chuckled.
"Well yeah…. But being head of an amazing company of my own making isn't the only reason I came up wi th Louie Inc." Louie admitted.
Everyone glanced at Louie, curious.
Louie sighed. "Ever since the Shadow War and finding out what happened to Mom I've been wondering if I'm really cut out for adventure."
"What do you mean kid?" Lea asked.
"When it comes to adventure my family is great at handling certain aspects of it. Huey, the brain, Dewey's the devil-may-care guts, Webby used to be the fist but now she's the heart, Uncle Donald is the most powerful mage in the world, Scrooge is leader, but me...what am I good at? Everyone has their thing." Louie sighed. "And my mom...she was great at adventuring and she still got hurt. I've only been good at talking my way out of it. How long before that's not enough? Then there was when we lost Lena."
The Guardians of Light started to worry.
"The Shadow War still haunts you, Louie?" Xion asked softly.
"I watched the girl I l-l-lo-cared about the most get zapped right in front of me." Louie said sadly. "And I couldn't do anything to save her."
Lena frowned sadly and hugged Louie.
"No one blames you, Louie." Naminé said gently x
"I did." Louie sighed. "And even though she's back I'll never forget how I felt that day. I don't wanna go through that ever again. Losing Lena as well as Mom getting lost in space made me wonder if adventuring's even worth it if we're always going to end up getting hurt…or worse. I've been trying to avoid it ever since. But…I only went on more adventures afterwards with my family because I was worried they might be in a situation and might need my help to get out of it. But then I realized…I had it backwards. Everyone is good something when it comes to adventure. Me, I'm just good at talking my way out of it. I don't know how I fit into this family? Who I am? Or what I should do?"
"But didn't you say you hated the boring life you were living until you met Scrooge?" Lea asked.
Louie nodded. "Yeah. And I really did always want to go on adventures. But when I say 'adventure', I mean like a normal hike up the Grand Canyon, a vacation in some remote island, something along those lines." he explained. "Fighting monsters and death traps was not what I dreamed of. But I only go to help my family…and the treasure of course. Who wouldn't go on adventure for treasure? I don't love adventure like my family does and because of that…I don't feel like I even belong here."
Everyone was shocked.
"Say what now?!" exclaimed Myde.
"Louie that's ridiculous!" said Sora. "Of course you belong!"
"You're our family Louie! You shouldn't think such a horrible thing!" said Donald.
"You're right where you belong little bro." said Dewey.
"And then…after the first game night incident, I realized what my thing is for adventuring. Uncle Scrooge taught me how I had the ability to see the angles, being able to see all the shortcuts and possibilities to form a plan. Uncle Scrooge made me realize I'm Sharper than the Sharpies. It was my mom's thing for adventuring and now it's my thing too. And after that game night and Uncle Scrooge said I could become a bigger billionaire than him one day…" Louie continued.
"Wait, he actually said that?" Riku asked in disbelief.
"Surprised me too. Anyway, I was inspired to make my own business, something I can apply my gift too." Louie said.
"Louie Incorporated, right?" Lea guessed.
"That's the one." Louie nodded.I want to become a billionaire like my uncle, a bigger billionaire than him like he said. But so far…things haven't exactly gone my way." he added sheepishly. "The Harpy-Be-Gone incident was a real blow up in my face."
"I remember that day." Webby said.
"Same here." muttered Huey.
"So you had one bad idea that went wrong. It happens." said Roxas.
"Yeah you shouldn't have to feel down about that daily Louie." said Kairi.
"You'll get there eventually, these things just take time." said Aqua.
"Yeah you don't become a billionaire overnight." said Terra.
"But even if you do find a way to get rich quick, it will still take time as Aqua said." nodded Olette.
"And I'm sure your company will be a good success in the long run." said Sora. "Just don't give up on it."
"You guys are right. I will get there, but it's just not easy doing it any way at all. I know my schemes aren't perfect. Sometimes, my schemes end up hurting my family when I don't mean to." Louie sighed. "But…scheming and being able to see all the angles is all I'm good at. This business means everything to me and I really wanna make it work. If all of it were taken away from me…I don't know what I'd. I'm afraid I won't ever be able to recover from a depression like that. I still haven't recovered from losing Lena. Like I said, I don't wanna go through something like that again."
Louie looked down sadly as the kids hugged him. Donald, Daisy, and Ludwig joined in.
"You're gonna get through this Louie." Donald soothed.
"Yeah Lou, you're not alone in this." said Lena. "Even I'm still shaken about Magica killing me. But… I am here now."
"And you are gonna do great things with your company as long as you stay on the right track Louie." said Kairi.
"As Marty McFly once said, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything." said Sora.
"Don't give up on the company man." said Lea. "It's your future. And it's up to you to make it a good one."
"We believe in you Llewellyn." said Violet.
Louie smiled, happily feeling the support from his family and friends.
"Thanks guys." he smiled.
Ludwig's watch beeped.
"Oh that's my cue! Science doesn't take a rest!" The scientist duck said as he left the dining room.
"Him and his experiments." grunted Lea.
"Everyone had their passions Lea," reminded Aqua.
No sooner did Ludwig go down in the elevator, Scrooge came down holding what looked like a glass quill.
"Whatcha got there Scrooge?" asked Naminé.
"Behold! The cartographer's Quill!" Scrooge announced.
"Ooh shiny!" Donald breathed in awe.
"Now that looks interesting." said Mickey. "What does it do?"
"It is a mystical artifact that sketches maps leading to the world's greatest treasures." Scrooge explained. "For example."
Scrooge used the quill on a map as it drew a pathway to an area.
"Ooh, looks like there's treasure there!" Louie said, gold dollar signs in his eyes.
"Sounds like an adventure to me!" beamed Webby.
"Well what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Dewey said excitedly.
The worldly-travelers were surprised.
"Whoa, wait, hold on, you wanna go on another adventure already?" asked Riku.
"We just got back from Monstropolis." added Ven.
"Haven't you guys gone from one world to another since you started assembling the Army of Light?" asked Violet.
"Well yeah, but that's when they're in danger." said Xion.
"Well I'm up to see what this adventure has to offer." said Huey.
"Besides, adventures with Uncle Scrooge are kinda like cakewalks compared to what we went through in Monstropolis." Lena shrugged. "Or at least the ones we've been on recently."
"That's… actually a fair point." considered Terra.
"Are you guys really gonna go on another adventure today?" asked Aqua.
"If there's treasure involved, I'm game." said June.
The kids murmured in agreement.
"You kids and your love for treasure." Isa said with a tired smirk.
"Well just to make sure it won't turn into one of our complicated adventures, me and Daisy will come along." said Donald.
"I whole-hearttedly agree," said Daisy.
"The more the merrier!" Scrooge said. "Let's get packing!
And the Duck/McDuck family ran upstairs to their rooms.
"They're gone. Let's talk about them." quipped Myde. (1)
During all that time, Della had finally climbed the gate, taken a breather, and made her way up the stairs.
"Wow… the castle looks as beautiful as I remember." Della quipped. "And the garden is looking so pretty!" She picked up a flower and sniffed it. "Aah nice and sweet."
Della made it to the front door. She reached for the doorhandle… but paused. She was pretty nervous. This would be the first time she would see her family for the first time, especially her boys, given that this would be the first time she would see them and not as unhatched eggs.
"Okay, first impression is the only impression. You gotta nail this." she said, determined.
She turned to the door with a sad-happy look. "Greetings, children!" she said angelically before groaning.
She next showed a hunching position and waves her left hand. "Hellooooo!" she tried before sighing.
Then she popped out from a flower pot. "Oh, hey, didn't see you there." she chuckled before groaning again.
"Simple, sincere. It's just the most important moment of your life." Della said to herself as she reached for the doorknob.
Inside, the world-travelers were talking.
"So how big is that melon you have in the garden?" asked Olette.
"Pretty big." Goofy replied. "Thing's grown to darn near the size of a baby head."
"Now that's plenty big." said Pence.
"So are we talking regular baby or toon baby?" asked Hayner.
"All I'm sayin' is that it's grown to darn near the size of a baby head." Goofy replied again.
"All I'm hoping for is that it tastes delicious." said Sora. "Good fruit! Not as good as Papua fruit, but still."
At that moment, they heard footsteps come down the stairs.
"Sounds like they're ready to go!" said Oswald.
"Let's wish them good luck." said Ortensia.
The group made their way to the front hall where Donald, Daisy, and the kids followed Scrooge to the front door. Huey had a water canteen, Dewey tested a flashlight, Louie was carrying a pillow, Webby was carrying her grappling hook, Lena had her Diamond Dagger, Violet had a climbing helmet, April had walkie-talkies, May had a hiking stick (really a baton), and June had a pocket knife. Donald had also summoned Mage's staff, laying it on his shoulder.
"You guys all ready to go?" asked Sora.
"Sure are!" Webby said excitedly.
"So many treasures are out there waiting for us to find!" said June.
"Maybe even some that we've never even heard of before!" Dewey grinned.
"And if any fuckheads try to get in our way to kill us…" Lena began, twirling her Diamond Dagger and summoning some magic in her hand. "We'll sure as hell be ready."
"And we got our other weapons in our backpacks." said Violet. "Thanks again by the way."
"Of course." smiled Aqua. "You kids just take care out there."
"If there's any Heartless, warn us and we'll increase the cornerstone's power!" said Minnie.
"And be sure to be back by at best tomorrow." said Riku. "We do have an army to train."
"Don't worry, we'll be alright." Scrooge smirked. "We're smart, tough, and sharp. We can survive anything that comes our way."
"In that case have a great time!" said Mickey as they waved them goodbye.
"We shall Mickey!" said Scrooge. "I mean with an adventure like this, it could be the most important moment in our adventuring lives!"
"I'll drink to that!" giggled Daisy.
"Come on family! TO ADVENTURE!" Donald declared.
"WOO-HOO!" the kids cheered.
But as Donald opened the doors… there stood Della Duck on the front step, arms folded and looking proud. Everyone was surprised at the sight before them.
"'Sup, party people!" I'm back in the hizou-" Della began before faltering. "Oh, no." she moaned, putting her hand on her face in embarrassment. "Knew it was wrong as soon as I said it." She looked at them. "Sorry, that was terrible. Can I get a do-over?' she asked sheepishly.
The Duck/McDuck family stared in complete shock and disbelief.
Donald stared at the sight before him. Was that really Della? No! It could;dn't be! She wad dead!... wasn't she? He was looking at Della all over to see if it was really her. He felt like his heart had stopped and the world around him had grind to a halt.
Daisy's mouth was hung open as she stared at the woman, who had been her sister-figure for decades, thought to be dead, standing right in front of her! Alive! She felt as if her heartbeat had stopped.
Scrooge's eyes sparked in shock, tears beginning to appear in them.
The other toons (except for Oswald, Ortensia and Max) were shocked and everyone else was confused. They've only heard of Della through stories, not seen her pictures.
"Uh...Okay…" Sora said in confusion.
"Well, that was out of nowhere." Lea commented.
"Who the hell is she?" Myde asked.
"No way…" Mickey gasped.
"Is that…" Goofy asked, surprised.
"I-It can't be…" Minnie stuttered.
The kids backed away as Della was first to greet Donald, the sight of him already causing her eyes to glisten and become teary. Mickey, Minnie and Goofy were close to tears.
"Hi, Don… I'm back." she said with a smile. (2)
Donald was unable to comprehend it as he stared in silence, looking as if he had seen a ghost for the first time in existence. He drops Mage Staff and it disappears.
Scrooge dropped the quill as it shattered on the ground.
Daisy fainted.
"Okay, could someone fill us in. Who is that?" Sora asked.
"She looks exactly like Donald, only a girl?" said Ven, tilting his head.
"It really is her…" Goofy gasped.
"Who? Who is she?" asked Riku.
"Sora...everyone...that's Donald's twin sister." Minnie revealed.
"She's Della Duck." Mickey said.
There was a slight pause before the human Guardians of Light all shouted…
"WHAT!?"
"That's Donald's Twin Sister!?" Sora shouted.
"Huey, Dewey and Louie's Mom!?" asked Ven.
"Scrooge's Niece!?" cried Roxas.
"She's DELLA DUCK!?" shouted Oswald.
"No way!" gasped Max.
"Unbelievable!" cried Ortensia.
"What the actual FUCK?!" gasped Riku.
"She's alive!" yelled Terra.
"Holy shit!" exclaimed Hayner.
"This is unbelievable!" yelled Olette.
"I. Am. SPEECHLESS!" exclaimed Pence.
"Shh!" Kairi shushed. "Everyone be quiet, let's let them talk."
The Toon kids backed away, weirded out by all this. They wanted to ask the guardians who she was but they remained silent and the kids tried to figure it out themselves.
Back with Donald and Della, their emotions and them walking up to one another, right beneath the door frame. They stared into each other's eyes, Della like she hadn't seen Donald in more than a decade and Donald like he had seen a ghost.
"Della…" Donald breathed.
"Donald…" Della breathed.
Donald and Della were close to tears as they slowly reached out for one another's faces. It felt like an eternity but they wanted to absorb every bit of this moment. Finally they touched each other's face gently…and then one spoke.
"Della...is it really you...?" Donald asked.
Della smiled warmly. "It's me, Donald. It's really me. I'm finally back. I'm home...Donnie."
With that said tears well up in their eyes before gushing and streaming down their faces. Donald and Della both smile at one another tearfully with so much to say and express. And their chosen expression ws this:
"DELLA!" Donald quacked happily.
"DONALD!" Della cried out happily.
Donald and Della tackle each other for the best reunion hug ever. Donald spins his sister around wildly as the Duck Twins both laugh and cry in sheer joy, happiness and excitement as they go right out the castle entrance before she is set down and they have their arms softly but tightly wrapped around one another for a loving embrace, never wanting to let go of each other again as they cry their eyes out in hysterics.
"YOU BIG DUMMY! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOREVER! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS!?" Donald quacked.
"I KNOW! I'M SO SORRY I'VE MADE YOU WAIT FOR SO LONG DONALD!" Della sobbed. "BUT I'M HERE NOW AND I'M NEVER LEAVING YOU AGAIN! I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU, DONNIE!"
Donald pulled back to express the multitude of feelings of words and joy as he clutched his head.
"YOU'RE HAPPY!? I'M PRACTICALLY BURSTING OVER HERE! I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT! IT'S YOU! YOU'RE ALIVE! YOU'RE REALLY ALIVE!" he cried.
Della happily let her brother shake her shoulders.
"I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG AND NOW YOU'RE HERE!" he shouted. Donald clutched his face, laughing before looking at Della desperately. "BUT HOW HAVE YOU SURVIVED!? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? I THOUGHT YOU WERE-!"
"Dead? Not yet! Not ever! I'm Della Duck, remember!? Nothing can stop Della Duck! Plus, I'm an amazing pilot." Della said proudly.
Donald just smiled at her boasting. "You have no idea how much I missed hearing you brag like this!"
"And I missed hearing that quacking voice of yours!" Della laughed. "And as for where I've been…"
Della pointed up at the moon.
"What?!" Donald quacked. "You-You-You were on the freakin' moon?! This whole time!? Are you quacking serious right now?!"
"I know, right! Of all the places for me to crash land it was the space rock nearest to the Earth!" She gets angry. "And by the way! Thanks for "looking" for me!"
Donald gets equally angry. "How the heck was I supposed to know you were on the Moon! For all I know you could've been on Jupiter or Neptune or even some far away galaxy!"
"Well maybe you should've tried to stop me from wanting to go outer space!" Shouted Della.
"I did you moron! You didn't listen!" Donald retorted. "It's not my fault you were dumb enough to try and pull an idiotic stunt with a rocket Dumbella! I didn't even know it was built! I can't see into the future, I'm a mage, not a witch!"
"Well why do you dress like one in the castle, Angry Bird!?" Della retorted.
"Hey!" Donald shouted.
The Guardians watch incredulously at this "reunion" they're witnessing as Donald and Della yell at each other. Though in tears, Minnie manages to chuckle at the scene.
"This is a reunion?" Lea asked incredulously.
"Uh…I guess." Myde answered.
"I expected more hugging, not arguing." Said Xion.
"Oh, don't worry, that's just classic Donald and Della. They always get into these sorts of petty arguments." Minnie assured through her tears.
"Just because I missed you doesn't mean I'm not mad at you!" Shouted Della.
"I missed you too ya big dummy!" Donald shouted back.
After a couple of seconds of staring each other, their faces give way to tears, realizing how much they've missed each other, and the Duck Twins share another massive and loving hug. Della cries hysterically onto Donald's shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Donald! I NEVER MEANT TO LEAVE YOU! I tried! I really tried to get back home…to you, Uncle Scrooge and my kids as soon as possible but every time my plans to get back were always completely ruined! I didn't know what to do!" Della cried out and she continued crying. "But I fought every day to come back to the family! I'm so sorry that it took so long for me to come back…and for keeping you waiting…I-I-I-"
Donald just hugs her tighter. "Shut up! None of that matters to me!" Donald cried out as he also continued crying. "I know you've been fighting for a whole decade to come back home! I don't care how long it took! I kept believing you were alive and waiting for you to come home and now you're finally here and I'm so happy!"
"Me too! I've missed you so much, Donald!" Shouted Della.
"I've missed you too, Della!" Donald shouted back as the twins hug each other tighter.
"We're finally together after so long! And I never want to let go of you again!" Cried Della as she releases more tears.
The Duck Twins hug each other as long as possible, crying onto each other's shoulders like they never want to separate.
The Guardians watch the heart-warming scene, smiling deeply for Donald who had been haunted by his sisters disappearance for years. Now they're finally reunited after years. Most of the boys watch with smiles, while Goofy and the girls have tears welling up a little.
"Aww. That is so sweet." Ortensia gushed.
"It sure is." Goofy agreed.
"Those two were always really close." Mickey stated, happy for his best friend.
"I can tell just by watching this." Sora agreed with a smile for his companion.
The Duck Twins separate and held hands as they warmly smiled at each other. But before Donald could say anything he feels something metal. He looks down to see he's stepped on Della's metal leg. He looks at his sister in sad concern.
"Della...your leg..." Donald quietly said in sadness and concern.
Della sadly rubs her arm. "I...sorta lost my leg when I crashed. It got crushed and I had no choice but to… (gags) cut it off. I used scraps to make myself a metal one." Della said in a slightly traumatised tone.
Donald looks at his sister in sympathy, he could tell she underwent terrible hardships to get back home and it costed her, her leg. His sadness turns into a smile
"You always were the resourceful one, you little hellraiser." Donald joked.
"Says the guy who raises hell with his temper." Della snarked back.
The Duck Twins chuckle, both having missed these sibling squabbles. They both held hands again.
"Ah, Don. I really missed these little sibling squabbles of ours." Della said with a fond smile.
"Me too, Del. Welcome home, sis…" Donald replies with a deep smile.
"Thanks bro…" Said Della.
Scrooge then walks up to his niece, tears still welling up in his eyes. Donald steps aside as Della stared at her Uncle's face for the first time in 11 years with a fond smile.
"Hi Uncle Scrooge." Said Della with a wave.
Scrooge said nothing, still trying to process it all. Della was about to say something until Scrooge tackles his niece for a huge reunion hug, laughing with joy. He swings her around madly outside the door before setting her down and Scrooge and Della embrace in a warm hug. Scrooge pushes her off, expressing his sheer joy and excitement
"IT'S YOU! IT'S REALLY YOU! OH, I CANNAE BELIEVE IT!" Scrooge steps back. "Oh, look at you! Standing here! Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!" Scrooge shout, laughing for bit before revealing his grief. "I thought you were-"
"Dead? Not yet." Della said, finishing Scrooge's sentence.
"Where?" Scrooge asked.
"The moon." Della replied.
"You were on the moon?" Scrooge said in disbelief before scowling. "I searched the moon!"
"Not hard enough! There were mites and aliens and I had to rebuild the spear with my tooth!" Della scowled.
"Don't raise your voice at me, you rapacious rocketeer!" Scrooge retorted.
Scrooge and Della glared at each other before the latter laughed.
"I missed your Scroogeian alliteration." Della chuckled.
She just hugs him again.
It was at that moment Della saw Daisy - who recovered from fainting - approach her in tears at the sight of the sister she thought she lost. Scrooge pulled back, allowing Della to face Daisy with a smile, almost in tears herself.
"Hi, Daisy." Della said softly.
Daisy came up to feel her face.
"Della…is it really you…?" Daisy quietly asked.
"It's me Daisy. It's really me. It's good to see you…sis…" Della smiled.
Daisy opened her beak; it's really her. Tears streamed down their faces and Daisy was lost for words.
"I-I-I…DELLA!" Daisy shouted.
Daisy just screamed with pure joy and jumped at Della. The both of them fell down to the ground laughing and hugging.
"I can't believe it's really YOU! It's so wonderful to see you!" Daisy cried out happily.
Della and Daisy got up swinging and spinning each other as they laughed before embracing in a tearful sisterly hug, sobbing on each other's shoulders.
"Donald told us what happened! I thought we lost you! We didn't know if you were…WE ALL THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD, YOU IDIOT!" Daisy sobbed.
"Well, I'm here right now! And I'm never leaving again!" Della declared. "I've missed you so much Daisy!"
"I've missed you too!" Daisy cried. They pulled back, wiping their tears and smiling as Donald and Scrooge approached them. "But where have you-?" Daisy began to ask.
"Up there." Della replied, pointing at the moon, much to the three ducks' shock.
"You were on the Moon this whole time!? No way!" Daisy gasped.
"Surprised us too. " said Donald.
"Of all the places to crash land, it was the rock nearest to Earth." Scrooge chuckled.
Daisy then smiles seeing Della's hair. "You grew out your hair, I see." she mused.
Della rubbed the back of her hair sheepishly. "Yeah." she murmured.
"It looks beautiful on you." Daisy complimented.
"Aww! Thanks sis! Ohh! I've missed you guys so much!" Della said thankfully.
She hugged Donald, Daisy and Scrooge and the four of them were embraced in a group hug… The moment of joy was disturbed when Scrooge felt Della's metal leg. Scrooge and Daisy stepped back, the former bending down to look at it to her in worry and Daisy had her hands over her beak. Donald said nothing as Della already told him what happened to her leg.
"Della…what happened to your leg…?" Daisy asked.
Della was saddened. "Lost it in the crash, it got crushed and the only way I could escape was to cut off my leg and replace it with a metal one." she sighed before grimacing. "The 6 hours of pain and screaming were not pretty."
"Ohmygosh! Della, that's horrible!" Daisy gasped.
Scrooge's worry became a proud smile. "But you made it out of rocket parts! Brilliant!" he chuckled. He got up hugging his niece. Leg or no! You're every bit the woman you were 10 years ago!"
He gave her another hug and Donald and Daisy smiled before Della gently went through him.
"Outta my way old man." she said, stepping into the castle. "Where are my-?"
Della gasped at the sight of Huey, Dewey, and Louie in front of her. The triplets were hiding behind Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, and June. The castle residents and Guardians of Light were watching from afar.
Della was close to tears as the kids stare in confusion and disbelief.
"Who's the cyborg?" asked Dewey.
"Is that…?" Huey trailed off.
"It can't be…" Louie said in disbelief.
"But it is." breathed Violet.
"No way…" Lena said in shock.
"I don't believe it…" whispered April.
"Is it really her…?" asked May.
"I-I-I think it is…" breathed June.
"Guys… I think that's your mom." said Webby, smiling.
Della walked up to the kids, Scrooge, Donald, and Daisy behind her. Della dropped to her knees, releasing as much tears of joy as she could as the guardians watched on.
"Huey, Dewey, Louie." Scrooge began.
"This is your Mom." said Daisy.
"Meet Della Duck." Donald said with a smile.
There was silence at first. Huey and especially Louie were unsure. But Dewey on the other hand…
"Oh ho! I'm part robot! I knew it!" Dewey cheered excitedly.
Dewey jumped into the arms of his long-lost mother, hugging her. For the first time ever, Della got to hug her son. Everyone smiled warmly as Dewey pulled back and Della gently rubbed her middle son's face with a glistening smile. And then something hit her.
""Wait, Huey, Dewey, and Louie? No, no, no...their names were supposed to be Jet, Turbo, and Rebel." ashe said.
"I could've been Tubro?!" Dewey asked stunned.
"Donald, I told you that was what I was planning to name them!" Della said to Doanld, annoyed. "I even wrote it down in case no one understood you!"
"I COULD'VE BEEN TURBO!?" Dewey shouted again.
All eyes went on Donald.
"Donald?" Daisy stretched, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh…" Donald chuckled nervously. "Yeah…funny story, I was going to name them Jet, Turbo and Rebel to honour you, but uh…let's just say an accident happened with my foot in the hospital and a misunderstanding with my voice forced me to name them Huey, Dewey and Louie."
Della's anger then faded when she looked back at Dewey. And then she remembered something. Something from so long ago. It was that one Christmas.
"Wait a minute…" she murmured before gasping. "Ohmygosh… it's you! I remember you!"
"You do?" Dewey asked.
"Yes!" said Della, rubbing Dewey's face. "I know those kind eyes and your adorable little face anywhere!"
"From where?" Dewey asked again.
"My 'distant cousin from Canada, Bluey.'" Della joked.
Dewey blushed. "Oh yeah… when I traveled into the past on Christmas and met you."
"I knew you were a relative from the future, but I didn't know that I was talking to one of my own sons in the future!" Della chuckled.
"I couldn't really accept having a Christmas knowing you were lost out there somewhere… so… I decided to have a Chriostmas with you in another timeline… all so I could meet you." Dewey admitted.
Della was touched by Dewey's words. She hugged him once more as Huey sheepishly walked up to the two.
"Hi, Huey/Jet here." he greeted. "How did you survive in a barren wasteland? Have you adjusted to our gravity? Did you make any customized modifications to your leg?"
Della counted off the questions as she answered. "Sheer determination to get back to you, kinda, and no because as Junior Woodchuck Rule 42 states..."
"Build things right the first time and they won't need modification." they both said in unison as Huey gasped.
"You are my mom!" Huey said happily, hugging her.
Both look at Louie.
"Get in here Rebel!" said Dewey.
Webby, April, and May had their hands clasped as they, Lena, Violet, and June look on with touched smiles. The Guardians watched from the distance, smiling as well.
But Louie was in scared denial.
"Nope. I'm not buying. This has to be a trick or a curse from Magica or a parallel universe or... or..." Louie stammered.
Della stood up with a soft smile and offered her open arms to her youngest son.
Louie couldn't stop crying but he couldn't deny what he was seeing. Louie wiped his tears and embraced Della.
"Mom!" he cried happily.
Huey and Dewey joined in the hug.
Webby was sobbing and crying uncontrollably. Her face was red from the tears and emotions she can't control or dry off.
"My heart! It's too full!" Webby wailed, clutching her chest.
April, May, and June were in tears as well.
"Oh my god…!" April sobbed.
"It's so beautiful!" blubbered May.
"Why must this make my heart soar?!" cried June.
Even Lena is crying from this heart-warming scene, trying to fan out her tears and the mascara running down from her eyes.
"I'm not crying! I'm not crying!" sobbed Lena, though the tears suggest otherwise.
"Usually, I'm immune to pathetic emotions." Violet said stoically. "But on this special heart-warming occasion, I must give in." Violet suddenly bursts into hysterical tears, letting out a waterfall from her eyes as she sobs uncontrollably.
Webby, Lena, Violet, April, May, and June share a group hug as they cry together.
Donald, Daisy, and Scrooge happily hugged each other as they cried as well while smiling at the scene.
Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Max, Oswald, and Ortensia held each other close with tears in their eyes, happy at the scene before them.
The Guardians of Light smiled happily at the scene as well. Kairi, Naminé, Xion, Aqua, and Olette embraced Sora, Roxas, Ven, Terra, and Hayner as tears fell down their faces. Riku, Lea, Terra, and Pence smiled at the scene as they let their tears fall. Myde was trying not to blubber as he cried.
Isa didn't cry, but he just smiled at the scene, happy that Della was not only alive and home, but that the Duck/McDuck family had their long lost relative back in their lives.
"Welcome home Della Duck." Isa whispered.
Donald, Daisy, and Scrooge joined in the group hug.
"Oh I am just so happy to be back here with you guys!" Della said happily. "I got my brother, my sons, my sister-figure, and my cool rich uncle!"
Donald smiled as he wiped his tears away. "And I'm so happy your back to little sis!" he smiled.
Della gushed at her brother's words when her eyes landed on the girls. "Oh I didn't see you six there." she said. She looked at Webby, April, May, and June. "Hey, you four look exactly like my kids!" she exclaimed. "Odd, I don't remember laying four more eggs."
April, May, June, and Webby blushed.
"They're not yours, but they are family." said Donald.
Della walked over and bent down to Webby on one knee shaking her hand.
"Greetings! Wait, do people still say greetings here? I haven't been on this planet for a REALLY long time." said Della.
"HI! I'M WEBBY!" Webby said excitedly, her crying having calmed down. "And can I just say I am SO HAPPY to see you right in front of me Ms. Della Duck! I have been researching your family for years and I always wanted to meet you! Do you mind answering a couple of BAJILLION QUESTIONS I HAVE?! WHAT WAS IT LIKE ON THE MOON?! HOW WAS SPACE TRAVEL?! HOW DID YOU BRAVE THE COSMIC STORM?! "
Della chuckled at Webby's enthusiasm. "I love this kid!" she laughed. "She's energetic, weird, sweet, and most of all, weird. Just like me when I was a kid, except pink and with a different hairstyle. It's nice to meet you too Webby, I'll be happy to answer those questions later. You have so much energy! Are you like my long-lost daughter or something?" she asked.
Webby giggled. "No I'm Bentina Beakley's granddaughter." she said.
Della was surprised. "22 got busy?! That's unexpected." she murmured. Della then chuckled. "Guess it makes sense, I would've remembered squeezing out a fourth egg."
"And these three… are actually my nieces." said Daisy, going to said nieces. "They're my late sister Donna's kids."
"Hi I'm April!" said April.
"I'm May!" May said bubbly.
"Sup? I'm June." said June.
"Ohmygod you look like girl version of my boys!" Della exclaimed in shock.
"Uh… no. They're the boy version of us." May smirked.
Della laughed. "Oh I like these three already!" She looked at Violet. "Oh a hummingbird. What's your name?"
"Violet. Violet Sabrewing." Violet replied.
"Violet is right, love that color." Della commented.
Violet blushed. "Thank you Ms. Duck." she said.
"Nice to meet you too Ms. Duck." said Lena, walking over. "Name's Lena. heard a lot about you."
"Well nice to meet you too." smiled Della. "And I gotta say, I love the goth vibe."
"Really? Thank you." Lena smiled, flattered.
"And by the way Della, there's some other people here that missed you too." said Daisy. "Come on over here guys!"
Della looked at some movement coming in from the left and gasped.
Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Max ran in, though Oswald and Ortensia stayed behind a little bit. The humans decided to let reintroductions be over before they made their appearances.
"OH MY GOD!" Della gasped. "King Mickey! Queen Minnie! Goofy! And is that Max?!"
"DELLA!" Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy exclaimed happily.
The five embraced in a hug.
"Oh my goodness it really is you!" Minnie said happily.
"We're so glad you're back home! And alive!" said Mickey.
"Yeah! We thought we lost you forever!" said Goofy.
"Well as the old saying goes 'Nothing can Stop Della Duck!" Della laughed.
Her family laughed.
"That's a good catchphrase." Dewey quipped.
"I missed hearing that." Donald said fondly.
"Right before she dives into danger." Scrooge added.
Della faced Mickey. "King Mickey! Still in charge of the castle here?"
"And enjoying it! Ha ha!" Mickey chuckled.
"Minnie! My mouse sister-figure! Are you still the queen?" Della asked Minnie.
Minnie giggled. "I sure am! And I love it everyday."
"That's great to hear!" Della beamed before facing Goofy, who held her up at eye level. "Goofy my man! You still the Captain of the Guard?"
"I sure am! A-hyuck!" Goofy chuckled.
Goofy set her down and Della gasped when she saw Max.
"Oh my god my eyes aren't playing tricks on me! Max is that really you?!" she asked.
"Sure is Della!" Max chuckled. "Oh man it's been so long!"
"You're telling me! My god you've gotten so tall!" Della said in surprise. "Last time I saw you, you were, what, in Elementary School?"
Max laughed. "Yeah! But I'm a college student now; with a girlfriend!"
"College?! Girlfriend?!" Della gasped. "Holy shit I have been gone a long time."
"But now you're back! A-hyuck!" Max chuckled.
"Like father like son." Della chuckled.
At that moment, Pluto suddenly tackled Della to the ground, having seen everything from his doggy bed. Pluto locked Della's face, making the pilot laugh as she held Pluto's face.
"Pluto! My favorite dog! How've you been, boy!?" she asked.
Pluto slobbered all over her as she laughs, as did everyone else before he got off her. Della then felt someone nuzzle against her legs. She looked down and saw Figaro.
"Figaro!" Della said happily, picking up Minnie's cat and nuzzled him. "Aw good to see my favorite cat!"
Figaro meowed happily as Della set him down.
"My god I missed you all so much." she said to her friends and family. She then spotted two more people looked at her. "Hey, who's the rabbit and taller cat?" she asked.
"Oh right!" Donald exclaimed. "Della, you're not the only one here in this castle who has a brother!.. Or at least in our generation"
Della was surprised. "Wait what?! But I thought Mickey, Minnie, and Daisy have sisters."
"Well… it was complicated at the time." Mickey replied. "Oswald, Ortensia, come here!"
The king and queen of Wasteland came over.
"Della, this is Oswald… my older brother." Mickey smiled. "And his wife Ortensia."
"Pleasure to meet you Della!" said Oswald.
"Mickey and the others told us about you!" said Ortensia.
Della was shocked. "KING MICKEY HAS A BROTHER?!" she exclaimed.
"Technically half-brother, but yeah, that's me!" Oswald chuckled. "It was a touchy subject for Mickey until a year ago. That's why he never really brought it up.
"Wow…" Della breathed before looking at Ortensia. "A cat and a rabbit huh? That is an interesting combination." she commented. "BUT IT'S SO CUTE!" she suddenly blurted.
"Aw thank you!" Ortensia smiled. "We never let it stop us from falling in love."
"I'm glad!" smiled Della. "God this is all so exciting! I'm meeting old and new family and friends of the family!"
"Ooh! How would you like to meet humans?" asked Dewey.
Della was surprised. "Whaddya mean by humans Tur-I mean Dewey?" she asked.
"Della, you are gonna love who you're about to meet." Donald grinned.
"Lads, lasses, come in here!" called Scrooge.
Della was surprised to see the 15 human Keybalde Wielders walk into the hall.
"Hope we gave you good space for your awesome reuniting scene." said Sora.
"Of course you did!" smiled Donald.
"Whoa… humans that aren't toons?!" Della gasped. "And wow they're so… tall!"
"Yeah we get that a lot around here." chuckled Roxas.
"And can we just say that it is so cool meeting you for the first time ever Della Duck!" Sora grinned excitedly, shaking Della's hand.
"Yeah your brother, uncle, and honorary sister told us a lot about you." added Riku.
"Aw they did? So sweet!" Della gushed.
"They're from other worlds Mom!" Dewey said excitedly.
"As in not from our Earth!" Webby added.
"Whoa really? Other worlds?!" Della gasped. "That's awesome! How do you know these guys?"
"Because like Mickey, we're Keyblade wielders." Kairi explained.
"And not just Keyblade wielders." said Ven. "Keyblade… Masters!"
Signature Keyblades were summoned in the 15's hands.
"WHOA! Are those Keyblades?" Della asked.
"Yep. Sure are." nodded Sora. "You know about the Keyblade?"
"Of course I do! Mickey has one too!" Della nodded before turning to the king. "You still have yours, right Mick?"
"Yup. I sure do." Mickey nodded, summoning Kingdom Key W.
"Some of us have had them for sometime." said Riku. "They either chose us by themselves,"
"Were passed down to us by others deliberately or by accident." said Kairi.
"Or we just put in a request to do so." quipped Pence.
"And they're not the only ones!" said Oswald, summoning Classic Tone. "I trained alongside Mickey!"
"Cool!" Della said in awe.
Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Max traded smirks.
"And that's not all sis!" said Donald. "The rest of us are about to show you something what will shock you.
And the five toons summoned their Keyblades.
"Surprise!" Donald grinned.
Della's jaw dropped to the ground with a comedic BANG.
"No way...! Donald...is that a...?" Della gasped.
"Keyblade? Yup, it sure is. I have my own one too!" Donald nodded.
"Don! That is so cool! You can wield a Keyblade like Mickey now! How!?" Della asked.
"We got them by accident really." said Donald.
"But they have been really useful in addition to our other missions." said Goofy.
"And we've worked hard to become Keyblade Masters like Mickey, Oswald, and the rets of our friends." said Minnie.
"Wow, Donnie! That's amazing! I always knew you were destined for greatness...like me!." Della said excitedly. Donald rolled his eyes at that. "So you're Keyblade Master, a magical warrior and the most powerful mage in the world all at once. Dang, I feel sorry for any poor sucker who tries to pick a fight with you, especially if you get angry."
"I suppose I am!" Donald laughed. "And yeah, no one will dare mess with me anymore!"
"Especially with the Duck TWins back together in this world or any other!" Della said boldly.
"I assume you're aware of the existence of other worlds before." said Isa.
"I sure am!" Della nodded. "I've always known that every star up in the sky is another world! I've dreamed of visiting those words."
"It's no surprise Della knows about other worlds. I told her and Donald about them when they were kids." said Scrooge.
They all dismissed their Keyblades. "So who are all of you humans?" Della asked.
"I'm Sora." said Sora.
"Riku." said Riku.
"My name's Kairi." said Kairi. "And I love your pilot outfit, scarf, helmet, and giggles… even if they look tattered. And your hair."
"Aww thank you!" Della smiled, touched.
"Roxas." said Roxas.
"Name's Lea. Got it memorized?" said Lea, tapping the side of his head.
Della chuckled. "I do now." she said.
"Weird questions. Do I know you? I feel like I know you." said Lea.
"I feel like I know you too." Della replied. "It's weird."
"Isa." said Isa.
"I'm Naminé." said Naminé.
"I'm Xion." said Xion.
"'Sup? I'm Myde." said Myde.
"My name is Terra." said Terra.
"I'm Aqua." said Aqua.
"The name's Ventus. But you can call me Ven for short." said Ven.
"Name's Hayner." said Hayner.
"I'm Pence." said Pence.
"And my name's Olette." said Olette.
"Wow… you guys look amazing." commented Della. "You guys really are from other worlds?"
"Yeah and we travel with your brother and sister-figure to protect them from the forces of darkness." said Lea. "Got it memorized?"
"That sounds awesome!" Della exclaimed. "You guys are like a team of superheroes!"
"I guess you could call us that." Sora chuckled.
"But they have been on a team like that before!" said Huey.
"In fact, a whole bunch of us have at one point or another!" said Goofy.
Before Della could ask more about that there was a loud gurgle sound.
"Holy shit what was that?!" Myde yelled.
"EARTHQUAKE!" Dewey yelled.
"Relax you guys, it's just Della." said Lena.
Everyone looked and saw that Della's stomach was growling. Della blushed sheepishly.
"Sorry…" she chuckled. "Haven't had regular food for… well, a decade."
"Then how in the hell did you survive on the freaking moon?!" asked Hayner.
"Gyro's oxy-chew." Della shuddered.
"I remember him telling us about that." Xion said. "Helps give you wood and water when in space."
"In that case, I should remember to thank him for making it taste like fucking black licorice." Della grunted.
Everyone blinked.
"Ok… in that case Della don't worry we'll get you some real food!" said Donald.
"What would you like?" asked Goofy.
"EVERYTHING!" Della grinned.
Everyone blinked twice.
"Uh… we'll see whats in the kitchen." Naminé said awkwardly.
And the world travelers ran to the kitchen.
"Can you really eat everything?" Dewey asked in awe.
"Just watch me!" Della smirked as she patted her stomach. "This gut here can hold in a buffet!"
"Thank god for toon physics." Scrooge grunted.
The scene cuts to Della in the kitchen eating everything the 20 brought her. She was stuffing her face with as much food as possible
Everyone else sat around watching, Dewey in particular was amazed as Della munched away on her food, specifically mashed potatoes and muffins.
"Wow… she is amazing…" Dewey said in awe.
"Dang she can really hold a lot of food!" May added in awe.
Della suddenly released a loud burp.
*BBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRPPPPP!*
Della covered her beak, blushing.
"Excuse me." Della said sheepishly.
"And burp a big one." June snickered.
"Just like you." Louie quipped to Lena, who smirked back.
A hand moved to take one of Della's plate with a pea on it, but Dellaa stopped it before pulling = the pea down into her beak and swallowed it, satisfying her.
"And... NOW I'm done." Della declared. "Thanks…" Della gasped when she saw Beakley. "Agent 22?! You're the housekeeper now? Where's Duckworth?!"
"He's moved on." Beakley replied, walking away through stopped a bit. " Though sadly not far enough."
Duckworth phased in through a wall. "The underworld has a few cobwebs to tend to." he said.
Annoyed by Duckwoth's laziness, Beakley tossed the plate through him and it smashed to pieces. Duckworth mockingly bows as he leaves through the wall… but not before phasing back to look at Della.
"Welcome back Ms. Duck." he said before leaving.
"Hold on, Duckworth is dead… and a ghost now?" Della asked.
"He… sorta died." Donald awkwardly said. "About 2 years after you left."
"You've been gone a while las. A lot has changed." said Scrooge.
Dewey suddenly appeared next to Della. "Is it true that parents pick favorites? Which one of us is yours?!" Dewey asked.
"Did you suffer any side effects from the cosmic storm?" Huey asked before holding up three fingers. "Ooh, how many fingers am I holding up?!"
"Where there monsters on the moon?!" asked Lena.
"Did you bounce on the moon?!" asked April.
"Wait, are you moving in?" Louie suddenly asked.
"How long do you think it will take for you to fully adjust to this planet's gravity?" asked Violet.
"Did you ride an asteroid?!" asked May.
"What's it like being an astronaut?!" asked Webby.
"Back to favorites?! It's old Turbo right!?" Dewey giddily asked.
"What's it like having a robotic leg?!" asked June. "These guys here know a guy with a metal arm!"
"Wow they're excited." quipped Lea.
"It's their mom and the Della Duck Lea." said Aqua. "And they're kids. Of course they would ask a lot of questions."
"Now kids." Donald said, scooping up his nephews.
"Take it easy with the questions." said Daisy as she scooped up her nieces.
Scrooge scoops up Webby, Lena and Violet. "All right, that's enough for today, your mum must be tired… AFTER CONQUERING THE MOON!" he laughed. "Let her rest." Scrooge said, scooping up Webby, Lena and Violet.
Della got up. "Who can rest when there's so much lost time to make up for?!" she said before hugging her sons. "I've got my boys."
Della ruffled Louie's hair and it stood straight up like Dewey's. Dewey gave a thumbs up and Louie groaned, before lowering his hair again.
"My brother, my honorary sister!" Della continued, bringing Donald and Daisy in an embrace that they happily returned. "My cranky rich Uncle. (Scrooge: Oi!) Old and new friends with me here today! You know, it is a shock to so many humans here, but you aren't the first humans I encountered."
"What do you mean by that?" asked Sora.
"Well during my time on the moon while I was working on repairing that rocket to get back, I ended up encountering two humans at one point, and let me tell you they were not friendly." Della explained.
"So what exactly happened" asked Isa.
"Oh not much, other than the fact that they seem to know who I am along with Donnie, they told me staying on the moon will be the best course of action due to their 'master' having plans on casting my home into darkness, and worse of all threaten me to stay out of their way unless I want to see everyone that I love being killed. I mean seriously, just who do these black-coat people think they are in trying to stop me?" Della further explained as the anger in the voice grew with each sentence.
At that moment, Sora and all those who were present traded alarmed glances at each other, especially when Della said the words 'master' and 'black coats'.
"Uh, Della, did you happen to know what these two humans looked like?" Donald asked his sister with worry.
"Let's see, if my memory is correct, one was a male who oddly had pink-colored hair and the other was a female with blond hair with two strands of it sticking out like antennas. Why do you know them?" Della explained while trying to remember the details.
Sora and the rest looked at each other as the details now gave way to which people they encountered Donald's sister.
"Della, we do know the two people that you encounter. Those two were known as Marluxia and Larxene, and they are members of a group called Organization XIII." Riku explained.
"Organization XIII. What kind of name is that?" Della asked.
"They are very bad news Della, my friends and I have been fighting them for quite a long time." Donald explained.
"They are being led by a dark Keyblade Master named Xehanort, and he is trying to initiate the Keyblade War in order to get the heart of all worlds known as Kingdom Hearts. As a result of this, a lot of us ended up being victims in various ways due to his scheme." Sora explained further.
"If Xehanort gets the χ-blade, which is Kingdom Hearts' counterpart, and gains access to the heart of all worlds then he can use it to plunge not this world into darkness but all other worlds." said Terra as he finishes the explanation.
Della was beyond shocked. To think that this entire time she was on the moon trying to get home, her own brother alongside many of his friends was out there fighting to protect not only their home but all others as well.
"That's...That's crazy. How can one man be able to do all of this?" Della asked.
"As mentioned, Xehanort is in charge of a group called Organization XIII which is comprised of him and twelve other members, with two of them being the ones you met while on the moon. Although the group is only at twelve members as from what we were told. In order for Xehanort to get Kingdom Hearts, he and his group need to clash with us in order for the X-Blade to be forged." Mickey answered.
"In addition, Xehanort also has help from a couple of other villains from different worlds, with some of them being from this world." Kairi followed up with the explanation.
Della was quiet for a few seconds trying to process all of this until she spoke.
"I see then, I appreciate you telling me all of this. To think that a lot of you were fighting out there in order to protect this world as well as many others. I will need some time to process all of this. But Donald, I want to say, thank you for being there for my babies and protecting them in more ways than one." said Della with a smile on her face.
"No problem, although the three were troublesome after you left." Donald remarked.
"HEY!" Huey, Dewey, and Louie exclaimed in unison.
"But, over time, they did grow up to be more like you each day with their sense of adventure and you be surprised to see how far they come." Donald went on.
Huey, Dewey, and Louie, who were glaring at their uncle moments ago did turn had their expressions turn from anger to smiles after hearing the compliment.
Della then looked down at the boys before crouching down to their level. "Boys, I don't know what to say except I'm so sorry for ever stepping foot on that rocket," Della said in guilt. "I never meant to leave you or miss your first steps or potty-training - Wait, you are potty-trained, right?" she asked with an innocent look.
Huey and Louie nod while Dewey gives a 50-50 hand gesture, making Lena and June snicker.
"What I'm trying to say is... for a decade, I fought every day to get back to this family." Della said, putting both of her hands to her chest. "And I will fight every day to be a part of it, if you'll have me?" she asked, holding out her hand.
Huey and Dewey were excited though Louie was unsure.
"But… I… uh…" Louie stammered.
"Of curse!" Dewey said, takin Della's hand without a second thought. "We're a family again!"
"We sure are Dewey!" Donald smiled as Huey took Della's hand and Dewey had Louie do the same.
Della hugged her sons.
The world-travelers looked at each other.
"Did Louie seem… nervous to you?" asked Lea.
"I… I think he did." said Ven.
"Well this is all happening so fast." said Terra. "And Louie is the youngest of the group."
"We'd better make sure he's gonna be ok." said Xion.
At that moment, they heard humming.
"Wait… is that who I think it is?!" Della gasped.
Ludwig suddenly came downstairs, holding vials of red and purple liquid.
"Ok and now I just pour this in slowly before I-" Ludwig froze when she saw Della amongst the group. "DELLA?!"
"Uncle Ludwig!" Della cried happily.
Von Drake dropped his vials and ran to Della hugging her.
"Oh by the stars of the Milky Way I thought you were gone! And yet you're here right in front of us all!" Ludwig exclaimed.
"Yeah I'm alive you crazy genius!" Della laughed.
"I can see that!" Ludwig chuckled. "Where were you this whole time?"
"The moon." Delal replied.
"The moon?! Are you serious?!" Ludwig exclaimed. "You had Gyro's oxy-chew gum right?! No one cans survive breathing in space… unless they're born that way."
"Oh I had it and hated the flavor!" Della shuddered.
BOOM!
Suddenly a loud explosion shook the castle.
"What the hell was that?!" shouted Mickey.
"Oh dear." Ludwig winced.
"Oh… is smoke supposed to be green?" Myde asked nervously as he pointed ahead.
Everyone looked and saw said green smoke.
"Ludwig Von Drake what did you do?!" shouted Lea.
"Must've left some vials open and liquid must've dripped in." Ludwig said sheepishly.
"Classic Uncle Ludwig." Della chuckled.
"Everyone evacuate the caste!" Minnie shouted.
The scene cuts to all the castle residents outside as the Fire Department put the fire out.
"Chemical fire is out but it'll take about a day or so for them to clear out the toxic smell." said a firefighter.
"Looks like you all are gonna have to stay in another place." suggested another.
"Aw man!" groaned Lea.
"This blows!" grunted Hayner.
"At least Seifer and his crew are back in Twilight Town. I'll call them and tell them." said Olette.
"Sorry about this your majesty." Ludwig said apologetically.
"Aw it's ok Professor. Accidents happen." smiled Mickey.
"So where are we all gonna stay?" asked Sora.
Scrooge hummed in thought. "I may still have a dozen or so spare guest bedrooms." he said with a wink.
Everyone grew excited.
To be continued…

Next chapter we'll see them at the mansion with Della trying her best to be a good parent.
