And now we see some GlomTales. And they're darker now since the villains are under the league of Xehanort, Maleficent, and Organization XIII.
Enjoy it if you can!
Castle That Never Was:
Meanwhile at that time, many of the villains gathered under Maleficent, Pete, Mortimer, Magica, and Negaduck's leadership were in the Grey Room.
"So I hear Zira's plan didn't go so well." said Randall, having now recovered from being stabbed and used for the Lump of Horror Unversed.
"Yeah but it didn't work out." said Hans, shining his sword. "Nonetheless, she'll be recovering soon."
"And then the Pride Lands oughta watchout for the return of the true King of the… well, Pride Lands." said Steelbeak, laying back in a recliner as he put on some shades.
"Why are you wearing sunglasses in a place that has no sun?" asked Yzma, flexing her claws as she was still in cat form.
At that moment, Shelke and Shaula entered the room.
"Steelbeak, Black Heron wants you." said Shaula.
Steelbeak groaned. "For whaaaaat?! I was in the middle of R and R time!"
"Just go, she said something about 'possible old friends' or something." said Shelke.
Steelbeak huffed as he got up and out of his chair and walked down the hall.
Ma Beagle was counting some money in her wallet while a bunch of her Beagle Boys, plus Big Time, Bouncer, and Burger, were lounging around.
"Well I'm just happy that I'm part of a team that can help me reclaim Duckburg and bring it back to the days of Fort Beagleburg." said Ma Beagle.
"But you can be part of a team that can do that sooner!"
Ma Beagle looked over to see Glomgold run up to her.
"Oh great." she groaned. "What do you want Flintheart? Don't you have sharks to feed or a scheme to blow you up into the sky?"
"I'm here to recruit you!" Glomgold replied.
Ma Beagle scoffed. "The Beagle Boys ain't for sale, unless we're paid the right price."
"I'm not looking for a henchman, I'm looking for a family." Glomgold told her.
Everyone looked at him.
"What?" the Beagles asked in unison.
"We all heard that correctly right?" asked Hans.
"The stupid rich duck wants to recruit a mob boss beagle family?" Randall asked, making sure he heard that right.
"Sounds like someone's desperate." snickered Yzma.
"Why do you wanna recruit them to one of your weird plans?" asked Shaula.
"Because family is the greatest scheme of all." Golmgold grinned, giving off his usual sinister laugh.

McDuck Manor:
Louie was in his room laying on his bunk.
"OK, being grounded forever isn't so bad." he said as he got out his phone. "I've got my phone; my phone is also a TV, which is nice."
He proceeded to watch videos only to find one with Della waving before bringing out a book.
"Hi, Louie! You're super grounded, so I blocked your phone signal and replaced all your videos with this lecture on ethics!" she said.
"Way of ahead of you!" he said as he grabbed Huey's Waddle pad. "Thank you, Huey."
Once again Della's face popped up.
"Nice try. The dictionary defines grounding as-"
"Oh man…" he groaned.
He threw the pad away, not wanting to listen to his mother's voice.
"Hurry up kids! Adventure calls, and I've got a bet to win!" came Scrooge's voice.
Louie looked out the window to see everyone prepping up for an adventure.
"Well, at least I can skip out on another insanely dangerous adventure- wait." he said before he noticed something different about the preparations.
Huey was tying up some Hobo bindles.
"Hobo bindles?"
Webby checked off cans of beans.
"Cans of beans?"
Launchpad was singing a tune near the jeep.
"A CAREFREE ATTITUDE!?" Louie screamed as he ran out his room. "They are NOT!"
Huey punched a hole though his cap, representing a real need to be casual. Webby and Scrooge - holding a hobo bindle - walked over.
"Uncle Scrooge, your bet with Glomgold is over in two days. You clearly have more money than he does. Doesn't this seem, I dunno, mean?" Huey asked.
"I didn't come this far by not hunting for treasure, so to guarantee my victory we are going after the Hobo King's Ruby Bindle." Scrooge replied.
Dewey popped up the jeep window. "We're going where there are cherry Pep! springs and the conman sings!" he declared.
"Where the gold geyser spews cash just for youse!" said Scrooge.
Della giddily ran over. "Where all your laziest, schemiest dreams come true!"
"YOU'RE HEADING TO BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN!"
They all saw Louie standing out the door, outraged.
"OH, I AM GOING!"
Della angrily shook her head. "No, you are still grounded." she said firmly.
Louie ran up to face his mom. "WHAT!? NO! WHAT!?" he shouted.
"Eh…come on kids, let's finish packing." Scrooge said awkwardly.
Scrooge and the kids left Della and Louie alone, not wanting to make this awkward.
"Big Rock Candy Mountain is the laziest quest of all time! It's my DREAM!" Louie said giddily.
But Della was still furious.
"Your last dream made you take treasure from the past which almost destroyed time, space and your family!" she said angrily, pointing up. "Now to your room!"
She angrily escorted a furious Louie back to the mansion.
"You can come out when you learn that no good ever came from cockamamie schemes!" she said firmly.
"Not all my schemes are like that!" Louie retorted.
"I don't buy that nonsense for one second!" Della snapped back.
"I said I was sorry and I was gonna fix everything!" Louie said, breaking free from Della's grasp.
"You have already done enough!" Della said sternly.
"And you're taking away another one of my dreams!" Louie yelled. "First my company and now Big Rock Candy Mountain!"
Della glared. "Well that's the only way you're gonna learn not to go scheming around to get what you want! You were only thinking of yourself when you took that time machine and nearly wrecked our family!"
"I'm telling you; I didn't know what was going on when I-" Louie tried to defend only to be cut off.
"You didn't know, cause you didn't wanna know, cause it made you rich! Now go to your room and think about that or I will extend your grounding young man!" Della clutches Louie's shoulders hard, on the verge of crying but remains angry. "If you think I take any pleasure in doing this to you… you're wrong. You broke my heart."
And Della angrily walked out the door.
Louie seethed in rage, clutching his fists.
"Maybe I did… but you also thought of yourself when you stole the Spear of Selene…" he said darkly. "And broke my family for a decade…so, maybe you should think more about how you broke MY heart… Della."
Castle That Never Was:
"So why did you wanna recruit the Beagle Boys into your 'family'?" asked Randall.
"I finally figured out why I keep losing to Scrooge." Glomgold replied.
"You're a moron. Your plans are terrible, he's smarter and stronger and craftier and-" Ma Beagle began.
"Wrong! It's his family!" Glomgold corrected.
He presented a photo of the entire family before Della's return consisting of Scrooge, Dewey, Huey, Louie, Webby, Beakely, Launchpad… and Gyro for some reason all posing and smiling… except for Gyro.
The shortest were in front of the largest. Launchpad stands on the left with his arms crossed and Beakley was on the right with her hands on her hips. Huey, Dewey, and Webby stood in poses while Louie had his hands in his sweater pocket. Gyro was barely noticeable, standing next to the bushes far back with a blank pose and look.
"He has a whole team who work harder and cheaper because they…I don't know…love him." said Glomgold, disgusted just from saying that. "So, I'm getting together a team, no, a family capable of wiping out Scrooge and his whole brood. Why, together we should be able to take them down in two days, tops! Right now, I need nephews and a Beakley.
The Beagle Boys liked the idea of teaming up with a group of villains to defeat Scrooge.
"Please, Ma! Let us keep him!" begged Big Time.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" chanted Burger.
"Burger's right. We could use a strong male figure in our lives." said Bouncer.
Unfortunately for Flintheart, Ma Beagle wasn't as dumb as her sons and said second richest duck in the world because she knew what this is really all about. Just as the fake Scotsman walked up, Ma smacked him with her handbag. He slammed into a gray couch in pain just as Ma got in his face.
"2 days, huh!? This ain't about family; this is about your stupid bet with Scrooge, ain't it?" she snorted as she smacked him again and he nodded, frightened. "You dug your own grave Glomgold; it's time you laid in it."
She proceeded to walk away and Glomgold was in a begging position with his arms clasped.
"No, wait! I cannae- I cannae-!"
"Spit it out!" Ma demanded.
The villains smirked, knowing what she wanted the billionaire to say.
"I cannae beat, Scrooge McDuck, alright!" Glomgold loudly confessed. "I'm gonna lose everything! I've spent my whole life trying to best him but I cannae! None of us can…!"
Everyone was surprised with his confession of being unable to win before he got up with a sinister smile.
"…On our own…" he said as the Beagles listened in. "But if we work together to destroy him and his family before the bet is over it all goes to us…." Ma Beagle smiled, liking where this is going. "Everything Scrooge owns, including…"
"The Deed to Duckburg." Ma Beagle grinned.
"…Which I could share with my family." Glomgold added with a wicked grin.
The four Beagles laughed, now fully onboard and Ma Beagle used a phone to call back home in order for her to address the news to her entire army.
"Attention Boys! We're getting Duckburg back thanks to your new Pa!" she announced with her phone on speaker.
The entire family of Beagle roared with cheers over the phone until Glomgold whispered in their Ma's ear, "I actually only need three."
"Never mind!" Ma Beagle called.
The Beagles all groaned in dismay before Ma Beagle hung up.
"So who else do we need Flintheart?" asked Ma.
"Next we'll find a Gyro. And I know the perfect one!" Glomgold replied. He turned to the villains. "Any of you know where Mark Beaks is?"
"Last we saw of him he was at the Havoc's Divide." replied Shelke.
"But he said he was going back to his company for work." said Hans.
"Guy said he had a BRILLIANT idea or something." scoffed Randall. "Probably something someone already made."
"How can he get there if Disney Town has that blasted cornerstone?" asked Yzma.
"Please! That thing is WAY too old!" scoffed Ma Beagle. "May as well be older."
"Which means we have our advantage!" Glomgold grinned.
The 5 villains cackled as they exited the Grey Room.
"Do you honestly think that plan is gonna work?' asked Randall.
"You got me." shrugged Hans.
"He's as much of an imbecile as Kronk. I highly doubt it." Yzma scoffed, licking her paws. "But then again… if he's been this rich this long… he might just surprise his 'family' with something."
Louie watched through his window as the Cloudslayer took flight. But he wasn't going to let Della control his life.
"Bye family." he said as he held his own hobo bindle packed. "I'm very sad I'm missing my dream vacation and definitely not gonna scheme my way to Big Rock Candy before you."
With an evil chuckle he grabbed his bindle and proceeded to leave.
"Yeah, right." he muttered.
However, he's met with surprise when he opens the door to find the DT-87 robot blocking his path and forcing him back.
"Scheme detected." it whirred.
"Hey, what the!?" he exclaimed.
"Scheme detected. Scheme detected." the DT-87 whirred.
It reveals a screen with another video of Della and she's waving at him.
"Hi, sweetie. I thought you might try to worm your way out of being grounded so I had Gyro program the DT-87 to babysit you AND to stop you from scheming. Hopefully, it doesn't turn evil like it did last year, based on what your brothers told me about Webby tinkering with it. Love you!" she said.
Louie had to admit, Della was quite clever with these countermeasures. But he was a hardcore schemer.
"Wow, DT! New screen looks great. Listen, I wanna know what the rules are so I can follow them. What is considered a scheme? Is it different from a 'plan', or a 'plot', and where do you come down on 'ruses'?" he asked.
The robot was seemingly processing his questions.
"Exactly! We need clarification, so I'll just pop over to Big Rock Candy Mountain to ask my mom for a clear definition. Yep, just so we're on the same page, you know." Louie said casually.
He proceeded to leave through the door only for the DT-87 to turn with angry red eyes.
"Request denied! Scheme detected!" it said.
It wents right in front of Louie and he steps back in fear and shock shouting "What?!"
"Scheme detected!" the DT-87 whirred.
It unleashes laser bolts from its neck blaster and Louie runs for it. His Hobo Bindle was blasted much to his outrage.
"Oh come on! That was a playful deception at best!" Louie sighed and held out one hand to his side with a smirk. "Oh, well. I tried being nice DT but unfortunately for you, you're not Lena so I don't feel bad with what I'm about to do to you."
He proceeds to summon Golden Khopesh but to his shock the DT-87 grabbed his wrist and pulls him in its face.
"Hey, what are you-!?" Louie cried before it suddenly rolled up his sleeve and attached some sort of black metallic bracelet with a green light turned on it.
Louie is then dropped on his bed. He rolled up his sleeve to see the device.
"What is this thing!?" he demanded.
Another deo of Della appeared on the DT-87.
"Hi Louie, I figured you would try to use your khopesh to destroy the DT-87 and get yourself out of being grounded so I also had Gyro make a special bracelet device that'll prevent you from ever summoning it and use your new powers. And don't bother trying to find it the old fashioned way because I confiscated it while you were sleeping and Beakely also advised me to confiscate your friendship bracelet."
Louie gasped in shock and disgust when he saw Della presenting his khopesh and friendship bracelet. He looks at his wrist, finally noticing his bracelet missing.
"And hey, I'm not one to ignore the wisdom of a retired spy after what you did. Anyway, you're not allowed to have either of these, especially your khopesh ever again until I think you deserve to have them. Bye!" she said.
Louie's eyes twitched with rage and he fumes in anger. How dare this stranger take his weapon and his friendship bracelet away! They belonged to him and the bracelet symbolized the friendship between him and the rest of the Duckburg Six. And it was a gift from Lena. She had no right to take them at all.
"HOW DARE YOU!" he yelled as he tackled the DT-87 in a fit of rage, punching on the floor while crying. "YOU HAD NO RIGHT! YOU HAD NO RIGHT! THAT WAS A GIFT FROM LENA! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! GIVE THEM BACK!"
"Request denied. Scheme detected." was all the robot said as it blasts Louie off and he hits his back, giving his mother on the screen a hateful look. That smile on her face now sickened him.
"I HATE YOU!" he yelled in anger.
But then Louie's anger diminished… because deep down… he felt like he deserved this.
Waddle:
Mark Beaks was riding around on a two-wheeled hoverboard around his company building.
"Morning Mr. Beaks!" said a fox employee.
"Got your coffee!" said a swan employee, handing it to him.
Beaks sipped it and tossed it away with a casual "Thank you!"
"Mr. Beaks? When do you wanna authorize that shipment to Cape Suzette?" asked a pig employee, holding a clipboard.
"Just do it now, I'm busy." Beaks replied without looking as the employee left.
"Mr. Beaks, we need improvements for the next Waddle phone." said a husky dog employee.
"Better cameras, better apps, extra better Waddle website access." Mark replied, waving him off.
"Mr. Beaks, your mother wants to know-" a rabbit employee attempted to say.
"Whatever Emma Glamour wants to say, tell her to make me IT and I'll 'think' about it." Beaks said sharply.
"Uh yes sir!" she said.
"Mr. Beaks, your viewers are skyrocketing, as are your investments!" said a cheetah employee.
"Now there's something I like to hear!" Beaks grinned.
He went to an elevator and pressed a button.
The elevator went down before it stopped and Beaks came out into a lab filled with tables, computers, robotic parts, paper, lamps, and more. He parked his hoverboard and hopped off.
"Time to make Waddle more successful!" he said determinedly. "...and help the Organization with whatever." he added dismissively.
Mark put on some headphones and then went to a computer where he pressed a button.
(Evil Grows plays)
Mark got to work typing on various computers and clicking on files.
I like the way you smile at me
I felt the heat that enveloped me
And what saw I liked to see
I never knew-
Mark connected two cables from two high-tech computers together… and blew out the power.
He quickly turned on a lighter and looked around until he spotted the fuse box. He opened it and flipped several switches and the power turned back on. Closing the lighter, Mark resumed the music.
- where evil grew
I should have steered away from you
My friend told me to keep clear of you
But something drew me near to you
I never knew where evil grew
Mark began to dance around the lab as the music played.
Evil grows in the dark
Where the sun, it never shines
Evil grows in cracks and holes
And lives in people's minds
Evil grew, it's part of you
And now it seems to be
That every time I look at you
Evil grows in me
Mark continued to dance, not noticing that a green duck employee was nearby, dancing alongside him. As soon as Beaks' dance turned him to the employee's direction, he came face-to-face with the employee and yelled in surprise.
"Mr. Beaks I just wanted to tell you that you have visitors." the employee said.
"Ok thank you, yeah now how about next time you wait UNTIL I'm done dancing!" Beaks scowled.
"Do you want your latte with steamed Austrian goat milk?" the employee asked, holding up a cup of it.
"What do I look like an imbecile? Of course I want your latte." Beaks replied, taking the mug. "I LOVE THE WAY YOU MAKE THEM!" (1)
He went to the elevator.
"Alright, now that my currency is done, let's see who's here." he said.
Upstairs:
Beaks sat at his desk while Glomgold and the 4 Beagle family members were standing across from him. Glomgold was showing him something.
"I dunnoooooooo, G-gle." Beaks said.
"What don't you know? We team up to take down Scrooge and his family. The drawings are very clear." Glomgold asked, holding up drawings, which were not clear at all.
"Yeah, I don't take down, I build. My rep." Beak replied, showing his phone. "Check it! My own online currency, B-B-B-B-BeaksCoin! It is worth more than every dollar in the world, combined."
Big Time suddenly grabbed him by his clothes.
"Tell us where it is!" he demanded.
"It's in the cloud?" Beaks replied.
Bouncer looks out the window and sees a cloud. He picks up Burger and throws him through the window.
"This is a waste of time." Ma grunted. "Let's roll."
"But we need him to fight Gyro's technological doohickery." Glomgold argued
"Then, manipulate him. Works like a charm on my kids." she told him before saying out loud. "Beaks isn't a real threat anyway."
"I'm sorry what?" Beaks asked, perking up.
"Oh, right, fine, er... Yes! What kind of 'weak, non-threatening hack' would rely on 'technology' to defeat Scrooge? I don't even know why Maleficent even recruited you to help her and the Organization!" Glomgold called as he and Ma gave Beaks a smug grin.
Beaks was offended.
"Ex-cuse you?! Technology is the jam!" he said as he fell off the desk, quickly standing up . "I can wipe out your past, your future, your entire existence with a swipe of my finger! Because I am the future - and yes, 'roseph' and 'brosephine', I am Scrooge's downfall! I am Mark Beaks!" He laughed while making finger pistols and shooting them, making 'pew' noises as he did. "I'm in."
"Welcome to the family." Glomgold said as he took out the family photo and pasted a Mark Beaks head over Gyro's.
Burger fell into the bushes outside the building, causing everyone to look.
McDuck Manor:
The door out of his room is now filled with a laser net, caging Louie like a prisoner. Snoring and quiet speaking is heard from his room, making the DT-87 suspicious. The lasers deactivate and it saw Louie with his blanket placed over him, seemingly sleeping. But…when it flew over and took the blanket off it was revealed to be Dewey's dummy. It then looked to see someone out the corridor.
"Scheme detected." it said.
It follows the figure it believed to be Louie to the closet, moving the clothes aside, revealing it's a moving dummy on a wheel. Louie's face was drawn on a balloon.
"Fine, you caught me." It pops the balloon and the hoodie drops down to reveal a walkie-talkie. "Look, I feel terrible; I deserve to stay here in the dark to think about my actions."
It crushed the walkie-talkie in anger.
The real Louie emerges from bed victoriously and with another walkie-talkie.
"Yes! Classic Double Dummy fake-out!" he grinned.
He grabbed his hobo bindle and got on the window ledge, preparing to climb down but to his great shock the DT-87 was waiting right in front with its blast ready.
Louie attempted to fake his way out again, saying, "And I'm also a fake-!"
His knee was blasted and he shouts in pain, before dropping on his back. He comically lied on the floor with an angry look.
Meanwhile, Glomgold's hot air balloon was being fired upon by the Iron Vulture, Don Karnage's battleship. One cannonball went through the basket right next to Beaks.
"Why are we here?!" the parrot shouted.
"We need a pilot!" said Glomgold, pointing to Launchpad in the photo.
"You could have just hired one!" shouted Ma.
"With that kind of small thinking, we'll never beat Scrooge!" Glomgold retorted. "Besides, Pete and Mortimer recruited him to help us!"
"Why wasn't he at the castle?" asked Bouncer.
"He was on another adventure with his lame singing crew!" replied Ma.
Behind the balloon, the beak of the Iron Vulture began to open. Burger tried to warn the group, but the balloon was brought in and subsequently deflated. Big Time fled from a sword-wielding pirate, Beaks was curled up in a corner whimpering, and Don Karnage and Glomgold were dueling with a sword and cane.
"So, you seek the assistance of the charismatic corsair, the resplendent privateer, the-" Karnage began before Glomgold cut him off
"Ugh, can we move this along? We're kind of on a deadline." Glomgold replied. "Join us and we'll give you the vengeance that you crave!"
Glomgold was knocked back and Karnage held him at sword point before addressing his crew, "Everyone, take five!"
Immediately, all the fighting stopped and Bouncer comically sent his pirate flying with a weak punch. The pirates and Beagles all gathered around Glomgold and Karnage, the latter pointing his blade up as a declaration.
"And why should I since we are already under Maleficent's tutelage to conquer this world and many others?" Don asked.
"Because this one is for personal vendetta against the McDuck family!" Glomgold replied. "It will make me rich, the Beagles reclaim their deed, and Beaks, I dunno, POP-ular or something on the internet! So are you in, or out you singing scurvy dog of the sky?!"
Karnage seemed interested in that. "I will join you, but I, Don Karnage, must be the one to strike our foe down."
"No way! I've got dibs on destroying Scrooge! It's my whole thing!" argued Glomgold.
"Scrooge?! No, no, no, no!" Karnage replied, pointing at Glomgold. "I want Dewey Duck!" he said in a hateful tone, remembering how Dewey stole his crew and humiliated him.
"Uh…which one's Dewey?" Ma asked.
"The blue one!" Karnage replied. "The one who dared steal the spotlight from Don Kar-"
"Sure, fine, whatever." Glomgold huffed.
"Can I also sing, as well?" Karnage asked.
"No!" Clan Glomgold shouted.
"But I can destroy Dewey Duck?" Karnage asked, hopeful.
"Yes!" Glomgold nodded.
Don Karnage laughed maniacally and so did Glomgold, both feeling sweet victory.
Glomgold gets up to place Don Karnage's sticker on Launchpad's face.
"Now we just need to find a Webby." Glomgold told his family.
This does not sit well, since there weren't a whole lot of villains that are capable of fighting on par with Webby as far as they're aware.
"That's easier said than done, new Pa. Where are we gonna find a freakishly strong wild card like Webby?" asked Big Time.
"Oooh, you know who might be fun?" Beaks asked, walking over and presented a recruit on his phone to Glomgold.
The fake Scottish duck reeled back in refusal of this candidate. "NO! Absolutely not!" he shouted.
"She is Scrooge's greatest enemy." said Bouncer.
Glomgold gasped, offended from such a statement. "HOW DARE YOU!? We don't need her! As head of this family, what I say goes." he said firmly.
"Family vote, all in favor?" Ma Beagle asked.
Everyone raised their hands in agreement and Glomgold relented into recruiting Scrooge's other big enemy.
"Fine, let's go back go the Castle That Never Was, and get Magica De Spell." Glomgold said begrudgingly.
"Wait a minute new Pa." They look to Big Time "Shouldn't we get a Donald to join our family. He's, I dunno, Scrooge's secret weapon or somethin'. We need one of those two."
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but Big Time has a point." said Ma Beagle, agreeing with her son… for once.
"Ack, we don't need a Donald." assured Glomgold with a dismissive hand gesture. "He's gallivanting in that animal world. It's because of that I picked this moment to strike at Scrooge while his most powerful family member is away. Besides, there isn't anyone I know in Duckburg who fits under the category of being a Donald, so it'd be a waste of time trying to find one."
"Hmmm…" he does have a point." Ma nodded. "Besides, he has bad luck compared to his goose cousin."
"Question. How can someone be bad luck? That seems kinda, I dunno, stupid." said Beaks. "I mean, accusing someone of bad luck right on the spot is, again, stupid, and I mean, what does that accomplish?"
"Oh that's because he's too full of himself sometimes." said Ma, waving her hand. "Kind of like three of you here."
"Hey!" Glomgold, Karnage, and Beaks said indignantly.
"No matter." Glomgold said dismissively. "Come along, back to the World That Never Was!"
"Steering there now!" said Karnage, running up the ladder to the pirate controls. "Sailing to the Dark and Dangerous Castle we gooooooooooooo!" he sang.
"Boy he sure likes to sing." said Big Time.
"Even while piloting this giant thing." said Bouncer.
"Well at least he means no harm." said Beaks.
"He does have a pretty good charm." said Burger.
"You really know how to rhyme." commented Bouncer.
"Yeah, yeah, some of the time." said Beaks, typing away on his phone.
"Enough of that!" Ma said in annoyance.
"Hey Don are there pretty clouds ahead?" asked Big Time.
"Well if there are at least we won't be dead." said Bouncer.
"No more rhymes now, we mean it!" snapped Ma.
"Anybody want a peanut?" asked Bouncer.
"DYEEAAHHHHHH!" Glomgold and Ma Beagle shouted in annoyance. (2)
Back at McDuck Manor, Louie is in front of the mirror dressed up as Huey and trying to speak exactly like him, another escape attempt.
"Help! DT-87! Louie tricked me into this closet and took my place!" said Louie in Huey's voice. "DT-87!" Louie shouted in his regular voice before clearing his throat and speaking in Huey's voice again. "DT-87, the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook state-there it is!" Louie points at his reflection, satisfied.
"Incoming call from Huey!" said the DT-87.
The screen revealed Huey happily checking up on his youngest brother.
"Hey, Louie, cool hat." he said.
"Thanks a lot, HUEY!" Louie exclaimed as he threw down the cap, miffed.
The scenery of Big Rock Candy Mountain was astonishingly beautiful. The mountains were covered in different coloured jewels and diamonds, clouds in the blue sky are pinkish and the water was Pep!. Huey, Dewey and Beakley wee floating on a raft, Dewey was fishing and Beakley was sitting on a crate playing around with something.
" You would love this place! We're floating up a river of fresh, natural spring Pep!." said Huey.
Dewey pulled in a giant fish and it landed right on top of him.
"What!? Really!? Describe the flavor to me in intimate detail!" Louie excitedly demanded.
Huey drank natural Pep! from a boot and prepared to describe the taste to his brother only for Della to angrily appear on screen.
"Describe nothing! He hasn't earned it!" she said firmly.
Something then shines from the distance that Louie couldn't see but Della and Huey certainly could. Della gasped in awe.
"It's the Hobo King on a gold silk reclining throne! HE'S GLORIOUS!" she cried.
Now Louie was desperate. "Just shift the camera slightly to the right!" he cried.
With Della there there was nothing Huey can do and he was forced to hang up. Louie groans in dismay and kicks the cap in anger.
"OH! It's not fair! What's so wrong with an innocent scheme!?" Louie exclaimed.
"Accessing footage." the DT-87 whirred.
Another video was shown of Della reading something from a book.
"Ethics is concerned with how your actions negatively affect those around you." she said.
Louie groaned, not wanting to listen.
And then… Della sighed and said something that would shock, scar, and hurt Louie to his core as if it was the right thing to say.
"Look…your plans…your schemes…they only lead to bad things for your family. If you wanna be a part of this family… you've gotta stop."
Louie had his beak wide open in shock and horror, welling up with tears as he felt his heart shatter in millions of pieces and it felt as though he was stabbed in the gut by an icy cold dagger from what his own mother just said.
His schemes…cause nothing but trouble for his family…? Maybe some of his schemes did cause trouble… but not ALL the time! Some of them helped the family, even saved them!
He wanted to shout at the top of his lungs…but he couldn't.
Instead he had tears leaking out of his eyes. Everyone considered him part of the family; his Uncle Donald explained that he was a true part of the family…but to hear his mother say he's not part of it because of his schemes… was just… wrong.
It's made all the nice words and things he went through to be a part of this family meaningless and his right and ability to see all the angles…it feels like it was just taken away from him.
He remembered everyone's words the day Della came back when he thought he didn't belong.
"Of course you belong!" came Sora's voice.
"You're our family Louie! You shouldn't think such a horrible thing!" came Donald's voice.
"You're right where you belong little bro." came Dewey's voice.
Louie curled into a fetal position on his bed and he felt hurt anger clench his heart. "This is the one thing I'm good at. Why can't you see!?" he seethed.
He clutched his head.
Castle That Never Was, Sanctum of Time:
Maleficent, Magica, and Sheldgoose - while wielding Felldrake - were all using their magic on the hour glasses.
Inside them stood small, blackned, unconscious forms of Jafar, Ursula, Gothel, and Shan Yu.
Xemnas, Terra-Xehanort, and Dark Riku, all donning their cloaks, were all watching them do their work.
"Yes… yes… resurrection has never looked so brilliant!" said Felldrake.
"They're not even alive or even completed yet!" retorted Sheldgoose, only for Felldrake to bonk him in the head.
"Don't you think I know that you moron!?" he snapped. "We need to make sure their resurrected forms are up to perfection!"
"Bringing someone back to life and not from the undead isn't as easy as it looks." Magica added, waving her staff around.
"But didn't you and Maleficent manage to do that with Ansem, Xemnas, and Vanitas?" asked Sheldgoose.
"Indeed we did. But they were made out of pure darkness." said Maleficent.
"Which we are immensely thankful for." said Xemnas. "Master Xehanort needs all the help he can get for his 13 darknesses."
"We're also hoping that progress on our 13th is going smoothly as well." said Terra-Xehanort.
"Oh the progress is going good. Now that his physical form is done, he will be able to learn how to fight in due time." smirked Maleficent.
Soon the three - technically four - finished their work.
"Now we let the magic flow through them and they'll get bigger." said Magica.
"What about Scar?" asked Dark Riku.
"He's an animal, we'll need some extra stuff for that." said Magica.
"But Ursula is an animal." Sheldgoose pointed out.
"More sea creature than animal." Felldrake corrected. "But we need a few extra ingredients. Which is why we need to get going, and quickly before Xandra and the other two Caballeros catch wind of what we're doing!"
"Why yes my league of course!" Sheldgoose said quickly.
He waved the staff around and a corridor of darkness opened and the former president of the Quackmore Institute walked off.
"Any progress on finding Nuka's body?" asked Dark Rku.
"Negaduck's underlings did their search until they were chased off by Jasiri's clan. So I sent Pete and Mortimer in their place while they recover." Maleficent replied.
"Don't they have powers?" questioned Magica.
"It seems that slipped their minds when the hyenas' attacks and loud snapping barks scared them." the evil fairy muttered with a scowl.
"Sometimes I wonder why we recruit such imbeciles to our side." muttered Terra-Xehanort.
"While their intelligence may be low, their skills, powers, and evil deeds make up for it." said Maleficent.
"True. Xemnas did choose Demyx twice." said Dark Riku. "He may be as dumb as a picnic basket but his powers are remarkable when used correctly."
"And now he fights for the good guys!" huffed Magica.
"Indeed. It is unfortunate. I used to consider Demyx to be one of the more weaker members of my Organziation. However, I seem to have truly underestimated his true abilities after that display he pulled during the battle against Zira. I find it fascinating that he of all people had such power that myself or any of the other members of the last Organization were unaware of." Xemnas said with a stern expression.
"This makes me wonder if any of the other former members that now have hearts such as Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saïx, Axel, Roxas, and Xion, could have much more power than they were when they were Nobodies." noted Terra-Xehanort.
As the five villains talked, none of them saw a corridor of darkness open and Glomgold, Beaks, Don, and the four Beagles exited.
"Why do we want her? She usually acts on her own… and she stole all our shadows." Glomgold huffed.
"She's high in the ranks of the villains with Maleficent, Pete, Mortimer, and Negaduck under the Organization's leadership." said Ma Beagle.
"Plus Maleficent gave her her powers back." said Karnage.
"She's good." Beaks said, taking a selfie.
"Or maybe you'd rather not destroy Scrooge and lose all your money to him instead." Ma snarked.
"Ugh, fine. I'll go talk to her." Glomgold muttered.
Glomgold approached the group of 5, none of them seeing him because they were still chatting.
"So it's harder resurrecting a lion?" said Dark Riku.
"Kinda hard when his spirit was extinguished." said Magica. "Resurrecting non-creatures of darkness isn't child's play… as annoying as it is…"
"This is me pretending to talk. I hate Scrooge more than you if I could. Peas and carrots, peas and carrots, peas and carrots, vegetables." Glomgold whispered, making sure that the others would see him talking about something but not hearing anything.
Like he hoped, Magica didn't respond to Glomgold, who faced his "family" and shrugged before rejoining them. "Sorry, guys. Magica said she's not interested. Gah!"
Magica suddenly appeared next to him.
"Not interested in what?" she asked.
"Nothing!" Flintheart said quickly. "You're obviously very busy here. Just all of Scrooge's enemies led by his greatest rival, me, are teaming up to ta-"
"Take out his family, and get our grim vengeance on Clan McDuck, and then we shall return here, and finally prepare for the Keyblade War against those wretched Keybearers!" Magica grinned sadistically before cackling.
"Yep. She's perfect for the clan." Ma Beagle smirked.
"I could not be more in!" Magica said, bending to Glomgold's face.
Glomgold begrudgingly gives in. "Fine. But I get dibs on destroying Scrooge! It's my whole thing."
Magica groaned. "Fine. You can have McDuck but on one condition. I get to take his Number One Dime and keep it as my trophy."
"Hmm." Glomgold thinks for a bit. "Done! I don't need his dime so you can have it."
Glomgold and Magica shook hands before the latter turns to the other four villains.
"I'm afraid I must be off." Magica informed them.
"Oh don't worry Magica. Our work right now is complete. Eliminating the McDuck family is a good priority." said Maleficent.
"I just need to find some way to bypass that annoying Cornerstone and keep my powers this time." Said Magica.
Maleficent walks over with a green. "Allow me to be of assistance."
Maleficent opens her hand and a purple talismen appears floating above it.
"Take this." Maleficent offered.
"What's this?" Magica asked, taking it.
"I've been working on this for some time now." Maleficent explained. "This talismen will protect you from that wretched Cornerstone of Light. With it, you'll be able to keep your powers in that world."
"Really!?" Magica exclaimed, excited. "Brilliant!"
"How come you never used it for yourself? Or for the Chosen." Don Karnage asked, confused.
"I have other ways of entering the King's world, of course they only lead to Disney Town, not Duckburg…for the moment." Maleficent explained with a grin. "And this talismen will only protect mages like myself and Magica."
"Music to my ears! Thank you, Maleficent!" Magica thanked in glee.
"My pleasure." Maleficent replied.
Magica attaches the talisman to her purple gem clasp, briefly surrounding her in purple aura. "Yes! Now I can make Scrooge and his family pay!"
"One word of caution." Maleficent warned. "That talisman, although powerful, is quite fragile. So I advise you to prevent it from getting damaged."
"What happens if it breaks?" Beaks asked.
"Will Magica die or something?" Big Time asked.
Maleficent glared. "Of course not, you fool! Her powers will merely severely weaken. In which case she would have to return here in order for it to be instantly restored."
Magica clutched her talisman. "Well, that's quite a downside." She grinned again. "But I can live with that. All I have to do is make sure this isn't damaged before we destroy McDuck. That's all."
Maleficent nodded. "Very good. I wish you luck."
"In the meantime, we have other worlds to keep an eye on." said Xemnas.
Maleficent slammed her staff down and a dark swirl took her, Xemnas, Terra-Xehanort, and Dark Riku away.
"Ah, blind, petty revenge. That's what family's all about. Speaking of family, let's go end Scrooge's!" Glomgold said loudly.
All the villains laughed sinisterly together.
"You guys, our family is awesome." Big Time said.
"Come, let us go get ready!" said Glomgold.
As the clan began to walk through a corridor of darkness, Magica suddenly stopped as she heard a teleportation noise. She turned and saw Vanitas walk in, maskless and in his bodysuit.
"Heard from the higher ups about what you were up to." Vanitas said.
"I see you made a swift recovery." Magica mused.
"I don't get killed that easily anymore compared to my final battle with Ventus years back." Vanitas replied. "Anyways, while I was recovering, I decided to do a little spying on some worlds and came across your home world. Seems like tensions are high in the McDuck family."
That perked Magica's interest. "Oh? And what's that? And is there any way we can use that to our advantage?" she asked.
Vanitas just smirked. "Let's just say you'll be getting revenge on a certain green duck who helped get your niece to betray you."
Now Magica was really interested, knowing who Vanitas was referring to, wanting nothing more than sweet revenge on said green duck.
"Tell me more." She ominously said.
McDuck Manor:
Louie is sat against his bed with tears still leaking out, thinking about everything that's happened to him. The Timephoon, being grounded, losing Louie Inc, his chance to go to Big Rock Candy Mountain and Della's words…all of it sets in on his mind. He made the decision to steal the Timetub and now he's paying for it. He sobbeds in agony.
"She's right about me…Mom's right!" he yelled in tears. "My schemes only cause nothing but trouble for everyone! First I almost got Uncle Donald killed, that mess-up at Doofus' party and then that stupid Timephoon…one that I caused! I almost killed my family! They were almost gone and it's all my fault! But…I can't stop scheming! It's the only thing I'm good at and it's what makes me feel part of the family. But…if I don't stop scheming…then I'll only hurt everyone more and I'll never prove myself to Mom! What do I do…? WHAT DO I DO!?"
Louie then had an idea. Lena was at Violet's place to help the hummingbird understand more magic.
"Wait…maybe I can call Lena! She'll help me! She's the only one who can!" he said.
He got out his phone and attempts to call Lena; the only one who can help him but to his dismay Della appeared once.
"I figured you'd try to call Lena to bust you out. Sorry, Louie, I hate to get in the way of an obvious romance but you're not allowed to see or speak to Lena until I un-ground you. Same with June. Love you." she said.
Louie's eyes twitch in anger and hatred over what he just heard. In a fit of rage he furiously tossed his mobile away.
"Are you fucking serious?! I'm not even allowed to talk to any one of my friends?! Including my crush ?! Does she even know the kind of bond me and Lena have?! Does she even know that I was among the people in our family that actually treated Lena like an actual person?! How important she is to me?! HOW DEVASTATED I WAS WHEN SHE DIED, SO MUCH THAT ADVENTURING TERRIFIED ME AFTER THAT?!" he roared in rage.
He wanted to say words of hatred and keep shouting but all that came out was a miserable sight and he was hugging his knees.
"First she grounds me, shuts down my dream future, takes away my dream vacation, cages me in here like a bad guy, cuts me off from the family and now this…does she really love me…?" He shook his head, yelling at himself for thinking that way. "No, what am I saying! She may be mad at me but part of her must still care for me…even if she did abandon me…stole all my dreams…forbade me from scheming and seeing all the…angles…"
Louie didn't even know what to think anymore. He just buried himself in his knees, crying.
(Clan Glomgold Theme plays)
The Iron Vulture few through the sky and Glomgold looked over his team with a sinister smile as the villains all prepare for battle.
Don Karnage grinded his swords until it's fully sharpened.
Beaks was testing out a new app that sends out a virtual fist and its working perfectly.
Bouncer was bench-pressing his brothers as they parried each other with bats.
Magica had two amulets placed in her pockets before waving her staff around as it glowed bright magenta.
Ma Beagle walked up to Glomgold. "Alright, hotshot, you got everybody. Now what do we do?" she asked.
"What our family does best… Destroy his…" Glomgold smirked evilly.
Hours later, the Iron Vulture loomed above McDuck Manor.
Louie was back in his bedroom as a prisoner after letting out his emotions. He felt the entire manor rumbling and gasped in horror when he saw Don Karnage's aircraft out his window. He opened his window and the alarm systems activated. The roofs open up to reveal cannons that are about fire but the Iron Vulture fired first, destroying them.
Ropes dropped down from the plane and down came the Beagle Boys… Big Time falling and landing on his butt in a humiliating fashion but managed to give a thumbs up.
"Scheme detected. Scheme detected." said the DT-87.
The DT-87 appears and began blasting laser bolts but Bouncer smirked right through, his thick skin making him immune to it.
He suddenly smashed the annoying robot to the ground. The badly damaged robot short circuited and deactivated.
Louie watched the villains make their way to the front door and he panicked.
"Must call Gizmoduck! Must call the military! Must call Uncle Donald!-wait he's in the Pride Lands… Gah must call anybody!" he screamed.
He got the phone only to hear the voice of Mark Beaks.
"Do-do-do, We're sorry, the number you're trying to reach has been blocked, cause we're invading your house! Alright, see you in a sec, bye!"
Louie panicked as he ran upstairs.
Louie ran into Webby's room and opened up a chest and rummaged for weapons.
"Gotta find a weapon! Any weapon will do!" he cried as he threw stuff out the chest until he picked up a silver sword sheathed in a shield. "It's not my khopesh or even my powers but this'll do!"
The front door exploded and Louie arrived in the foyer to see all the villains walking in. Ma Beagles smashed a security panel, disabling any other defense system. It was at that moment Duckworth phased out of Scrooge's portrait, unhappily scoffing at the unwelcome house guests. He floats down, transforming into Demonworth.
"Get OUT!" Demonworth snarled.
They were all unimpressed as Magica slammed her staff on the ground and sent out an energy blast that engulfed Demonworth and ensnared him in magical rope.
"A demon butler." mused De Spell. "How quaint, would you like to take my coat, shoal or…GHOST BANISHING AMULET! HA!"
She tossed an amulet in front of Demonworth, engulfing him in a purple blast of energy that sent him flying and screaming out the manor.
Louie was in horror as Magica picked up her amulet and all the villains walked forward, followed by Glomgold emerging from the smoke, satisfied.
"Daddy's home." he said sinisterly.
Louie was in real trouble now. He was all alone faced with the worst of the worst: Flintheart Glomgold, Magica De Spell, Don Karnage, The Beagle Boys, Ma Beagle and Mark Beaks.
Glomgold stood in front laughing victoriously as Louie ran down.
"Oh no Magica De Spell!" Louie cried.
Magica smirked snidely at Glomgold was annoyed but stopped himself from exploding in anger and Nonetheless he walked up to Louie.
"We've come for McDuck and family!" he declared. He paused. "So…are the others here?"
"N-no, they're all gone." Louie replied.
Glomgold blinked. "Oh, I see. Family meeting!"
He yelped when he turned to see his team looming above him with threatening and angered looks as they all expected the entire family to be here… except for Magica.
"Unbelievable. You didn't even check if they were home!" Ma scoffed.
"Don't start with me Katherine!" Glomgold snapped back.
"Dewey's not even here! But this one means nothing to me!" scoffed Karnage.
"Look, we're here, why don't we annihilate the green one as sort of a warm-up" Magica suggested before she scared Louie with an evil stare and her teeth clenched. "I have a score to settle with his one anyway."
Louie tried his best not to be afraid so he quickly asked, "And then what? What was your scheme here, exactly? Just show up and fight?"
"Of course not. I'm sure Flintheart had a perfectly good plan and-" Ma began before she stopped and groaned, realizing who she was talking about and they all glared at a panicked Glomgold.
"My scheme was to bring us all together like a family and then our family destroys his family! How's that not a plan!?" he cried.
The villains all crosstalked as they angrily approached their leader like an angry mob that was about to kill its target.
"A good scheme is like a family!" Glomgold quickly said.
The villains all stopped and listened, even Louie standing by the stairs.
"It can be big, complicated, frustrating and people may not always understand it." Glomgold said.
Louie felt upset, understanding the feeling himself.
"But when the individual parts come together they can achieve the impossible and a family united is the finest scheme of all!" Glomgold said in an inspirational tone.
He turned around almost tearfully presenting the Clan Glomgold family photo. Don Karnage and Big Time sniffed out some tears after this amazing speech, Burger, Beaks and Bouncer were also close to tears but the rest were uninterested.
"Who cares! In half an hour McDuck is gonna win the bet and become twice as rich and powerful!" Ma huffed.
"All those resources…" Beaks murmured.
"All those magical artifacts, none of us will be able to destroy him!" grunted Magica.
"He will become…untouchable." Karnage said.
"What do we do now, New Pa?" Big Time asked.
"Uh…even if I lose my fortune we can still kill McDuck." Glomgold replied.
"Well, then, your fortune goes to his family." Ma Beagle retorted.
"Then, we'll destroy his whole family!" Glomgold replied, laughing maniacally.
Louie looks at the portrait of his great-uncle conning the deed of Duckburg from Grandpappy Beagle.
Louie suddenly came up with a counter-scheme to save his family but was disturbed by Magica.
"Before we get to killing McDuck, how about we kill Lena's little green bean here?" Magica suddenly suggested.
Louie gasped to see all of Clan Glomgold standing directly in front of him a couple of distances away. He tenses up and grabs the handle of his sword in fear as they smirked sinisterly.
"M-m-me?" Louie stammered.
"You see I was thinking, Flinty. Wouldn't victory be more enjoyable if McDuck were to find you killed one of his precious nephews? He was quite broken when they abandoned him once." Magica pointed out.
"I wonder what'll happen if we actually killed his nephews." said Ma.
"I would be interested to know how the loss of a brother would traumatize Dewey." Karnage said sinisterly.
Glomgold pumped his fist. "Brilliant! I want McDuck to suffer before I win the bet and rub it in his smug, duck face! He thinks he's so rich and so Scottish! Well, I'm wearing a kilt McDuck! A KILT!"
"I just have one question before we do something so grotesque. What the heck is a kid like him doing here all by himself while the rest of the flock has fun?" Beaks asked.
Louie looked down in sadness but Magica chuckled.
"Allow me to enlighten all of you. Vanitas told me before we left. I'm sure most of you are aware of the return of Della Duck." said Magica.
"Yes Organization XIII mentioned that to us." said Glomgold.
"We know; we've met." Ma beagle said, remembering what happened at Fort Duckburg.
Magica looked at an uneasy Louie. "This one here dreams of being a billionaire like his great-uncle so he started his own company. But while trying to accomplish a business scheme, he caused the Timephoon incident."
Clan Glomgold looked at Louie in surprise.
"Wait, that freaky hurricane/time vortex combo was you?" Beaks asked.
Louie said nothing and looked down in shame, which gave them their answer and made them smirk.
"Trying to scheme only for it to backfire in your face." Ma snarked. "You're just like Glomgold."
"Exactly!" said Glomgold before the oldest Beagle's words sunk in. "Wait, what?"
"He fixed it of course and everyone forgave him easily…" Magica said as her smirk became more sinister. "…except for Della. She was furious with her own son, yelling at him in front of the family. She wouldn't allow him to fix the damage he had caused or accept an apology. She not only shut down his wretched little business but grounded him indefinitely and took his punishment to such lengths that you'd find it interesting in your eyes."
Now the other villains were intrigued and Louie looked down in sadness.
"Oh really? What did she do?" Karnage asked.
"She used lasers to keep him locked up in his room." Magica replied.
"Sounds like she was keeping him prisoner." said Big Time. "We should know, our family's been behind bars many times."
"Indeed. She even had that robot you three took care of be his so-called protection." Magica added.
"You mean that tin can I trashed outside was his protection?" Bouncer asked.
"Talk about improper precautions." Ma laughed. "If that was one of Gyro Screwloose's doohickey's then he's gotta get his brain fixed again!"
"She blocked everything on all devices so he wouldn't have any fun at all." Magica added.
"Wow. It's like she wants him to be bored to death." commented Beaks. "I can't imagine a life without technology and frankly I don't want to." he added, rubbing his phone against his cheek.
"She even relieved him of his khopesh, his one true mean of defending himself." Magica added. "Was helpful when the Gilded Man attacked to claim his vengeance."
"Well in that case, when we get rid of you, you can blame your mother green one." Gomgold smirked.
Louie gulped a little.
Glomgold then realized something. "Hang on a minute De Spell. You knew this whole time then, that no one was home but him."
"Like I said, Ventus' dark half told me back at the castle." Magica replied.
"Well then why didn't you tell us sooner?!" Flintheart demanded.
"For the reason we're going to kill Louie Duck." Magic replied with a grin.
Glomgold blinked. "Oh…fair enough."
"Anyway, what's also interesting is that they went on his dream vacation to Big Rock Candy Mountain, a childhood dream that has been usurped by his mother." Magica added. "Ooh it's so despicable…. I love it!... Although I will be honest. In all the times I encountered Della and her family, I couldn't really see her doing something as despicable as that."
"Neither could I and I encountered that troublesome girl many times back when she was a duckling." Ma huffed.
"She filled that robot with lectures and she blocked his connection to his friends, including my pathetic excuse of a niece!" Magica added. She wretched in disgust. "Greenie here and the pink one made her feel like an actual person. Ugh, just saying it leaves a bad taste in my mouth like a child's birthday cake."
"Sounds like she doesn't know what she's doing." Ma laughed.
"Oh and you do when it comes to your own kin?" Glomgold snorted.
"Watch it Flintheart." she snarled with a fist.
Magica then smirked down at Louie. "And to top everything off, she had the decency to say that his schemes and plans only lead to nothing but bad things for this pathetic family. And if he wanted to be a part of it... he has to stop…" she said coldly.
The villains, for once in their lives, were shocked beyond all reason. Louie just looked down sadly close to tears, his mom's words stinging him once more.
"Gee, and I thought I had Mommy issues." Beaks commented.
Everyone looked at the parrot billionaire in surprise.
"Yes, I have a Mom, it's a long story." Beaks said dismissively.
They then smirked towards the saddened Louie.
"Wow... you're quite the screw up, aren't ya?" Big Time smirked.
"Your own family hates you now." added Bouncer.
"No... that's not true...!" Louie quickly denied.
"But then why'd they leave you behind?" asked Burger.
"'Cause I was grounded!" Louie retorted.
"Unfairly by the looks of it." commented Beaks.
"Hey I was the one who caused the Timephoon!" Louie quickly said. "I'm being punished for it!"
"More like being overly punished," said Magica, stepping forward with a wicked smirk. "It's one thing to forbid you to come on your dream trip and have you stay in your room as punishment, I mean that is standard from what I've seen and heard… but another to use lasers, a robot who thinks all your words are schemes, forbid you from talking to Lena, taking away your forms of self defense - I mean your uncle has how many enemies? - And telling you that you can't be yourself anymore if you even wanna be a part of the family."
"I think they don't love you anymore." Beaks smirked.
"If they did, they would've ignored the horrors you put them through and punish you more properly than this." Karnage added.
"But it looks like they don't care about you, especially your own mother. I bet she sees you as a criminal." Ma said.
"No she doesn't!" Louie insisted, not wanting to believe his great-uncle's enemies.
"If that was true, she wouldn't have locked you up and treated you like one now would she?" Magica retorted. "Lasers, robot security, the whole package, like I said! You messed up SO much now that you're a pariah to your own family... all because of your schemes and plans being magnets for bad things to happen to them. You're nothing more than a disgrace to your family, a danger lurking behind them… and the definition of the evil triplet… to them… and to yourself… "
Louie tried not to let their words get to him, especially Magica's… but he felt their words stab at his heart and he was tearing up.
Glomgold grinned as he inched closer to Louie. "Maybe you should join up with us, green one. No one in this family seems to love or want you. Might as well be part of a family of schemers you'd fit in with."
"SHUT UP!" Louie shouted, suddenly punching Glomgold in the face.
Glomgold staggered back in alarm, clutching his beak.
Louie picked up his shield and sword and got ready to defend himself.
"Oh so that's how it's gonna be?" Magica smirked, readying her staff.
Glomgold spun his cane, Karnage drew his sword, Beaks prepared his phone, Ma spun her purse and the Beagle Boys crack their necks, fingers and knuckles.
(Demyx Underworld Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts II plays)
Mission: Survive against Clan Glomgold.
Playable Character: Louie Duck
Louie jumped at them with his shield to bash them only for Magica to fire a blast that sent Louie flying and screaming onto the stairs. Don Karnage, the Beagle Boys and Beaks were the first to charge at Louie.
"Charge!" shouted Karnage.
Louie got up, unsheathing his sword from the shield with a war face. "Let's do it!"
Louie charged and locked blades with Karnage before pushing him off and they exchanged multiple sword strikes. He jumped back for Big Time to punch Louie who deflected it with his shield before kicking the smallest Beagle away. Burger and Bouncer attempted to smash him but Louie side flipped before swiping Bouncer off his feet and the large Beagle landed on his middle brother. Beaks sent out a virtual fist, forcing Louie to block consecutive punches with his shield before tossing it in Beak's stomach and catching it.
"Aw geez my pecs!" Mark groaned.
"No such thing!" Louie mocked.
Karnage sliced down but Louie jumped onto and grinded down the stair rail, landing between them and the main 4. He slid beneath Ma Beagle's handbag attack and then charged at Glomgold, both schemers swinging their sword and cane at each other. Louie stepped back a little parrying a left swing, blocking a down swing and made Glomgold stumble by blocking his next blow with his shield. Louie then leapt at Magica who brought back her staff.
"You're mine, witch!" Louie declared.
"Think again, you niece corrupting brat!" Magica countered.
Magica swung her staff just as Louie landed for them to lock weapons, pushing with all their strength.
"If anyone was corrupting Lena it was you!" shouted Louie. "All I did was free her from her abusive excuse of an aunt!"
"And I intend to make you suffer for that, for what you did to me in the Shadow War and for ruining my attempt to take back my powers from her! And for that black eye you gave me afterwards!" Magica shouted back.
"You had all that coming hag!" Louie countered with a grin. "Just accept that your lame schemes were all ruined by a bunch of pre-teen kids! And that no one will ever care about you!"
"SILENCE!" Magica screamed.
She brought her staff up then down to slam Louie but quickly rolled out of the way. They exchanged two swings, she swiped but Louie leapt backwards then back at Magica who swung her staff, colliding with Louie's sword again, delivering enough force to send him back. Louie landed on his feet, now finding himself surrounded by all 8 villains. Ma Beagle was the first to attack and Louie got on his back to double kick her. Big Time tried to ram him but Louie comically knocked him out by bashing his head. Magica shot out magic blasts that Louie narrowly dodged before charging and sliding beneath both mages. When he turned around Glomgold, Magica and Carnage attacked Louie together, launching multiple strikes with their weapons and Louie was struggling to parry and block them all. Eventually Karnage caught him off guard by creating a cut on the side of his hoodie and Louie screamed in pain when Glomgold slammed his cane into his stomach and Magica made it louder by ramming her staff before Ma Beagle ensnared his neck with her handbag, causing Louie to choke.
"Go long!" she shouted.
Ma Beagle tossed the Evil Triplet over her shoulder Bouncer and Beaks (with his punch app) smashed Louie. He screamed in anguish as he crashed right through the wall above where the front door was and slammed into the money fountain, groaning painfully.
"Get him!" Big Time shouted.
The Beagle Boys attacked Louie first as he gets down from the fountain. Big Time dodges a sword swipe and grabs his other wrist, allowing Burger to knock his shield away. Louie punches Big Time in the face. He bends back before getting on his other hand to swipe Burger of his leg. Bouncer attempts to crush him, but Louie jumps on and off the large Beagle parrying Magica and Karnage. Beaks has a virtual fist grab Louie by the hood, making him stationary as the young duck tries fighting off Glomgold. The second richest duck in the word slams his cane on Louie's foot, making him comically hope and scream in pain. He screams again when Ma Beagle swipes him off his feet for Magica to teleport and swing her staff, sending Louie flying through the front door like a golf ball.
Louie quickly gets up just as Magica attacks. Magica thrusts her staff repeatedly and Louie ducks and jumps side-to-side to narrowly dodge. He's forced to barely deflect one thrust with his blade. He jumps, bringing up his sword to slash but Magica spins and blocks. They exchange more swings until Louie thrusts. Magica steps aside and stops on the sword, pinning it to the ground, causing Louie to gasp. With an uppercut, Magica disarms Louie, sending his sword flying up.
"NO!" Louie screamed.
His sword flies through the air and sticks to the ground. He holds his wrist in pain just as Magica held out her staff, the orb touching his stomach as it flares up. Louie looks up in fear.
"This will hurt a bit…actually, it will hurt A LOT!" Magica sneered.
"Oh boy…!" Louie exclaimed in fear.
With one powerful energy blast Louie is sent flying and screaming. He lands on his back on the center of the foyer floor. Ma Beagle and Glomgold are the first to charge him. He manages to get up and ducks a cane swipe. He quickly grabbed Glomgold's cane to force it down and deliver a punch only for Glomgold to catch his fist and Ma Beagle sent him stumbling back with a whack to the face. Beak's virtual hand grabbed Louie and tossed him straight to the ground, skidding right across. Burger and Big Time yanked Louie up to toss him at Bouncer who rammed his fist into him. Louie screamed in agony and was sent flying. He was then ensnared in a purple energy rope casted by Magica who laughs evilly as she smashed Louie all around the foyer, into a suit of armor, the main family portrait, decorations, jewels, fireplace and then he was smashed down in front of the stairs.
"And that's what happens when you tangle with all of Scrooge McDuck's enemies all at once!" Magica laughed.
Louie hissed in pain as he struggled to get up.
"Y-You're right Magica…" Louie said weakly. "It was stupid of me to do that…"
The villains all smirked as they gathered together.
"But there was one mistake you made…" Louie wheezed.
The villains raised an eyebrow.
"And what's that?" Glomgold demanded.
Louie smirked as he reached into his sweater pocket… and revealed Magica's talisman in his hand.
The villain's eyes widened in shock as Magica looked at her empty hand.
"Wha-how-I-wha-HOW DID YOU GET THAT?!" Magica demanded in a mixture of anger, shock, confusion, and a tad fright.
Louie chuckled and coughed at the same time. "Let this be a lesson to you…" he wheezed. "Never bring a schemer too close to you…"
Louie held the talisman up and an energy source blasted against all 8 villains, sending them flying against the doors and front wall, making them crash hard and slide down in pain as they landed on the ground in a villain pile. They groaned in pain in humiliation.
"Least I got one last hit there…" Louie chuckled weakly as he slumped back against the stairs, dropping the talisman in the process.

Louie laid on the floor groaning in agony. Louie struggled to get up and stand straight, wobbling in anguish, his face was covered in bruises, his hoodie was covered in dirt, small tears and torn on the side from Karnage. The entire foyer was scorched with pieces of wood, medals and jewels lying around everywhere. Louie panted painfully.
The villains managed to get up.
"Well… that came outta nowhere…" said Karnage, rubbing his head.
"You're telling me…" said Big Time as he got up.
"Well even though we were winning that battle he managed to humiliate us!" Ma said angrily.
"This is SO not going on my blog." Beaks muttered.
Magica snatched back her talisman. "I will admit greenie, you were admirable in that last part of the battle to humiliate us just like we did to you." she sneered before smirking. "But it looks like you're all out of your scheming luck now…"
Glomgold laughed evilly. "Now that we've recovered, we can get rid of you, and then Scrooge and his family, my family gets their revenge, and I will inherit ALL Scrooge's money and finally be… THE RICHEST DUCK IN THE WORLD!" he cackled.
The villains all laughed together. Then Louie had an idea.
"It's not over! You'll never beat Uncle Scrooge, Glomgold!" Louie said as he smirked through his pain. "You really wanna know how to win the bet Flintheart? The only way you could ever have a chance of winning now is if you and the other villains combine your money and resources together!
Clan Glomgold were quite intrigued with this.
"My crew and I do have plenty of treasure." said Karnage.
"My boys and I do have some loot we could share." Ma said.
"I have some savings prepared for such an occasion." Magica added.
"I'm rich enough to be in the billionaire's club." said Beaks.
Glomgold suspiciously looked at Louie. "And why would you tell me that, green one?" he asked, aiming his cane at Louie's neck.
Louie tried his best to remain snide and snarky, despite the slump he was in. "Simple, there'd be no point in even trying. Even if you combined all your valuables you still probably wouldn't have enough money to beat my uncle. And to top it all off, in order for it to be legal and official you'd have to sign a contract with a business partner. Except…oh, right, you don't have a business partner do you. No one in their right minds would ever partner up with you Mr Full-of-Baloney. Without that contract there's no way you'll be able to pool your resources and have a chance at beating Uncle Scrooge, especially since you only have 20 minutes left." he replied.
Glomgold tapped his chin, unable to deny the truth in Louie's words until another idea hits him that brought out an evil cackle. He motioned for Magica and Ma for them to bend down and whisper into their ears. When they heard his scheme it brought evil smiles to their faces.
"I like it." Ma said.
"It spells irony and humiliation…for McDuck!" Magica grinned.
"I've already got a business partner…thanks for the help Green one!" Glomgold said in a thankful but evil way.
"Wait, what?" Louie asked, reeling in pain.
Magica sent out ropes of energy that ensnared Louie. The Evil Triplet was held up, his groans turning into screams as he got electrocuted. The villains all laughed and Magica held out a glowing finger, unleashing an energy beam.
In the blink of an eye, Louie felt his body beneath his lung got pierced, sending him flying back with his beak and eyes wide open in shock and pain as he chokes under his breath and his vision blurred.
Magica unleashed a barrage of finger beams that all exploded on Louie one by one, sending him flying and screaming back, smashing through the window and he landed in the grass, falling unconscious.
"Now it's time McDuck learns what happens when you screw with all of his enemies at once!" said Ma Beagle.
"For once his enemies win!" said Beaks.
"And we will finally claim our revenge!" said Karnage.
"And to prove we're not bluffing, the wounded green one will be our little message." Magica smirked.
Bouncer held up Louie as Karnage opened the doors to the Iron Vulture.
"So where to next, New Pa?" asked Big Time.
"To the Money Bin! And show Scrooge McDuck's family what happens when you mess with all of us… and claim that fortune forever…" Glomgold said with a wicked smirk. "Look out McDuck… this time, we've already won…"
And the villains boarded the Iron Vulture, bringing the unconscious Louie with them.
The enemies of the McDuck family truly had upped their game this time. And they weren't going down this easily…
