Episode 10 - Meeting of the Minds
It was just another fresh morning in Duckburg and another Library day for Huey Duck. The eldest triplet was by one of the shelves looking for a book to read with a look of content.
Huey: Ahh, a peaceful library day to get away from annoying brothers, learn something new and read something fun. He takes out a book and looks at the cover. "Mystery of the Haunted Mansion Volume 2." Looks like I found something fun!
After finding more books Huey is carrying a pile of them towards the desk but he doesn't see the girl he's about to bump into carrying a pile too. The both of them yelp when they bump into each other and land on their tail feathers while dropping their books.
Huey rubs his head and when he opens his eyes he becomes mesmerized by the beauty of the girl he meets.
Huey is face to face with a purple anthropomorphic hummingbird. She has blue eyeshadows, dark black curly hair tied into a ponytail with a mint green ribbon and one lock on the left side of her face. Her cheeks have three freckles, her bill and beak are dark purple and she has three purple tail feathers with white tips. She wears a mint-green shirt with a darker colour scheme on the collar and tight black trousers.
The Hummingbird shakes her head and becomes mesmerized when she meets Huey face to face. They both snap out of it immediately.
Huey & Hummingbird: Oh! Sorry/my apologies!
Huey: I didn't mean to bump into you like that!
Hummingbird: No, no, it was my fault! I should've looked where I was going. I'll help you with your books.
The hummingbird scrambles to pick up Huey's books and Huey with hers. When the girl picks up a peculiar book she becomes intrigued.
Hummingbird: Is this volume 2 of Mystery of the Haunted Mansion!?
Huey drops some books and turns in surprise.
Huey: Yes! It is! You know this book!?
Hummingbird: The girl gives a stoic smile as she holds the book. Yes. I've recently been getting into the habit of reading supernatural mystery genre books. And this book has already become my favourite.
Huey: It's one of my favourites too! I loved the part when Herbert faced down the mysteries and ghosts of the mansion…
Hummingbird: …With nothing but his wits and determination. I'm most interested when he encountered the diary of the spirit of the mansion's previous owner. It's truly a fascinating book.
Huey: You said it. I'm so absorbed into the book I can never seem to sleep at night.
The librarian comes up and shushes them both.
Librarian: Violet! If you're going to talk then do it quietly.
Violet: Yes ma'am. After the Librarian leaves the girl now known as Violet looks back to Huey. Perhaps you and I could read it together. I planned on looking for it after returning these books.
Huey: Sure. It'd be nice to read this book with someone for once. My brothers can't seem to appreciate the mystery in it.
Violet: Most people never do.
Huey: Huey bends down to pick up the books. Here, I'll help you return your books before we read it.
Violet: Really, you'd do that for me?
Huey: Of course, it's the least I could do. Junior Woodchuck, Rule 77: A woodchuck always does his best to make amends for his mistakes.
Violet: Violet widens her stoic eyes in surprise. You're a Junior Woodchuck?
Huey: Yep, and I'm one of the best. Why do you ask?
From her ponytail Violet brings out and presents her own JWG much to Huey's surprise.
Violet: I'm a Junior Woodchuck too.
Huey: A fellow chucker! Wow! Now I'm double glad to have come here for a library day routine! Come on; let's clean this up so we can get to know each other!
Violet stares at the kind duck before giving a grateful smile.
Violet: Thank you.
Intro
Donald's staff and Scrooge's dime falls out of the sky. The dime rolls and the staff flies away from Donald and Scrooge who are smirking with confidence. Donald motions Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby and Scrooge to follow his lead and they run after both items while running from all of their enemies.
Life is like a hurricane
Here in Duckburg!
They now run in the city itself, everything zooms out to reveal multiple people to Launchpad who give a salute before quickly taking back control over the plane.
Race cars, lasers, airplanes
It's a duck-blur!
Webby uses a flashlight to help search the dime and staff in the darkness but the kids gets scared away by Demonworth.
Might solve a mystery or rewrite history!
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Scenes shift to a room where Donald, Scrooge and the kids relish with the treasure they've found but yelp in horror when a lobster monster arrives causing Louie to make a run for it but loses the gold he picked up in the process.
Every day they're out there making
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Donald is in his houseboat with a determined expression sailing it across a violent storm across the seas with Scrooge right next to him and Launchpad placing the boys in one life jacket. Unfortunately a rope from a pirate ship ensnares Launchpad and swings him around.
Tales of derring-do
Bad and good luck tales! Woo-oo!
Beakely drives Scrooge through a safari where he fails to grab his dime. The kids ride on a rhino with Donald being dragged a long rope and failing to catch his staff.
Scenes shift to a room where Dewey pulls out a sword, opening a cage that releases the Golden Dragon. Beakely and Donald get into a battle stance and the fire on Scrooge's torch goes out.
D-d-d-danger! Lurks behind you!
There's a stranger out to find you
What to do, just grab on to some…
Scrooge is tapped on the shoulder and now the mummy of Toth-Ra is chasing the 6 ducks across the room. Webby fires her grappling hook which grips onto a pole. Everyone holds onto her and they fly up. They surround Toth-Ra, grab onto lose papers sticking from his body and pull. He spins until he's reduced to nothing but bones.
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
They run back to the gold room.
Every day they're out there making
The Duck/McDuck family are surrounded by their enemies again. Donald holds out his hand and his staff comes flying back to him. He leaps up and a blast of lightning changes his clothes before casting a thunder spell that shocks the Beagle Boys and clashes with Merlock. Scrooge stops where he is fearlessly before flipping up and diving inside the coins. He comes back and Donald, Scrooge, Dewey, Huey, Louie and Webby continue fearlessly running across the floor of coins with the Sunchaser following.
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Tales of derring-
Bad and good-
Not ponytails or cottontails, no
DuckTales! WOO-OO!
As he's chases by his enemies, Scrooge swims after his dime until he reaches the top of a formation where Beakely pulls the kids and Donald up. Donald points his staff at their enemies and the rest gets into a battle stance while Scrooge finally catches his dime. Just as they were about to crash the Sunchaser crashes into 'DuckTales' signs, knocking their enemies off.
…
After exchanging books at library, Huey and Violet are sat on a bench outside holding "Mystery of the Haunted Mansion" and reading together. The both of them are clearly enjoying reading the book.
Huey: This book is the best!
Violet: I concur. It is quite a creative masterpiece.
Huey: I'm still surprised to know that there's somebody out there who loves reading this book. Most people think it's lame because it involves the character making the use of maths and…
Violet: "Nerd stuff."
Huey: Yes, that's it! How did you know!?
Violet: Violet frowns a little. …Because that's what people often said to me when I was younger. The moment I say something smart or make my opinions known people often tease me. They call me…
Huey: Huey frowns with her. A kook…
Violet: A weirdo…
Huey: A robot…
They widen their eyes to realize how much they have in common and look to each other in surprise. They put down the book and get off the bench at the same time and stand directly opposite of each other.
Huey & Violet: A nerd!
Huey: Huey could only stare at Violet in wonder. How smart are you?
Violet: Smart enough to get A's in every single one of my classes.
Huey: I'm exactly that smart too!
Violet: Violet sighs sadly. Having a high IQ has its privileges but…it's often quite difficult to make any friends…especially find someone who understands you. I love reading…but I wouldn't mind having any friends who understands me.
Huey: Huey looks down in sadness with her. I know what you mean. Out of my two brothers I'm the smartest. Some kids tease me for being so smart that they think I act like a robot and call me Hue-bot. It's pretty annoying and it's hard to find someone who understands what it's like to be me. He then gives off a warm smile to Violet. But it looks like I've found that person.
Violet returns Huey's warm smile of kindness.
Violet: I believe the same thing. Though I also believe it's mandatory for introductions to be made when forming a bond of trust and friendship. She holds out her hand with a bright smile for a friendly handshake. Violet Sabrewing.
Huey: Huey, Huey Duck, nice to meet you.
Huey holds out his hand only to realize it's the wrong one, putting them in an incredibly awkward position. They try a second time but get it wrong again and they get increasingly sheepish until they finally get it right the third time and have a friendly handshake. Violet separates when she widens her eyes in epiphany.
Violet: Wait, a minute! Huey? As in Hubert Duck of McDuck Manor! Nephew of Donald Duck the Most Daring Adventurer in the World and Scrooge McDuck the Greatest Adventurer in the World!? Trusted Companion in all their adventures!
Huey: Huey is taken aback in surprise. Um…yeah…how'd you know all that?
Violet: You and your brothers exploits and adventures with your uncle is legendary, barely no one knows who you are in this city. I've even done some research on your family when I had spare time.
Huey: Sounds like you'd make good friends with, Webby.
Violet: Being related to two amazing adventurers must've given you a fascinating perspective on the supernatural.
Huey: Believe it or not I've had a few experiences and encounters with the supernatural.
Violet: An intrigued Violet puts a finger on her chin. Have you? She puts her hands behind her back. You know, there's been something I've been meaning to investigate.
Huey: Really, like what?
Violet: Have you ever looked up on Greek mythology?
Huey: Of course. That's the story detailing the origin and the nature of the world, the lives and activities of gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythological creatures, and the origins and significance of the ancient Greeks' own cult and ritual practices. Modern scholars study the myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.
Violet: Violet looks impressed. That's a very well-detailed analysis, Hubert. You're quite the stut.
Huey: Huey proudly places a hand over his heart. Research is my hobby and plus I've experienced some of that mythology on the Isle of Ithaquack where I met the three gods that reside there: Storkules, Selene and Zeus.
Violet: So the Isle of Ithaquack does exist!? Violet presents a book called "Gateways to the Underworld." But have you ever been to the Underworld?
Huey: Huey points in surprise. "Gateways to the Underworld!" I can read it if you want, it's written in Ancient Greek so it might be a little advanced.
He reaches out only for Violet to sternly grab her wrist and to his amazement speak a completely different language.
Violet: (So am I.)
Huey: (You speak Ancient Greek Language! So do I! I'm also fluent Thai.)
Violet: (As do I, it's a fascinating language to learn. Though I prefer the tongue of Old Norse.)
Huey: (Me too! Who wouldn't?)
The both of them chuckle a little before smiling at each other warmly and speaking normally.
Violet: The more I speak to you the more I start to like you.
Huey: You get me Violet. We're rare breeds, you and I. So what's this about ways into the Underworld?
Violet: They sit back on the bench as Violet opens the book and presents the pictures and texts inside. As you definitely know above our world is the realm of the Gods, Olympus. But below our world is where deceased souls move on, which has earned the Underworld the title Realm of the Dead. This concept may be as old as humanity itself and there are multiple gateways in the living world that allows living souls to enter the Underworld.
Huey: I'm aware of that. Those entrances are all over the Earth: Lerna Lake, River Acheron, Turkey…
Violet: But what you may not know is that there's actually an entrance to there from here in Duckburg.
This throws Huey out for a complete loop as his eyes widen in shock.
Huey: WHAT!? Really!?
Violet: Yes. And after some research and this map I found in this book… She shows the map. …I've deduced that hidden entrance lies somewhere in the subway tunnels, for I keep sensing sort of magical aura whenever I'm in the subway. She then pleadingly looks to Huey. I may need some help for this investigation and I could use help from someone of your experience…that is…if you want to.
Huey: Death defying adventure, high chance of dying but also the chance to gain knowledge and make a new friend in the process… Huey returns her expression with a smile. Of course I'll go with you. If we're gonna become friends then an adventure like this might be a good chance for us to get to know each other.
Violet: Thank you.
Huey and Violet leave their books in the library to be picked up later while Huey and Violet keep the JWG and the Underworld book. They stand in front of one of the subway entrances before exchanging glances and entering.
The entire place seems empty right now and the moment a train passes by the jump down and walk next to the train tracks and towards a couple of tunnels up ahead.
Halfway through the subway station Huey has his Junior Woodchuck guidebook out and passes the time by reading to Violet information about Subway infrastructure from it. He's been talking for over 30 minutes and Violet is actually intrigued in a stoic manner.
Huey: And so the tunnel infrastructure manages to stay intact through…* Huey stops and turns in concern.* Are you sure you're not getting bored of listening to me speak? Usually my brothers are begging me to stop.
Violet: Violet becomes sympathetic when he slumps in sadness. Not at all. I find your knowledge on subway infrastructure quite intriguing to listen to.
Huey: Oh! Really!? They continue walking forward. You don't find me annoying in anyway?
Violet: Not one bit. I find it all quite fascinating myself. People find it hard to listen to us because we can explain that which they do not understand. My fathers always told me having a vast amount of knowledge is nothing to be ashamed off. It makes you a special person.
Huey: Yeah, I agree, I- He double takes when he hears "fathers." Wait; did you just say "fathers", as in plural?
Violet becomes a bit sheepish and rubs her shoulder by it from realizing what she just said about herself.
Violet: Oh! Yes. I have two fathers. But I'm not embarrassed of that because they've raised me with love ever since I was little. Of course, other kids often make fun of me for it because they're… well… you know… She sighs deeply and sadly while looking down. You must be incredibly weirded out by me Hubert.
Huey: Huey smiles gently and sympathetically. Not at all.
A surprised Violet looks up to him as Huey begins walking backwards to fully face her.
Violet: Really? You don't think I'm strange?
Huey: Why should someone judge who another person loves. And why should they also judge the child of said couple? I don't care if anyone is straight. gay or bisexual and neither do my brothers. Love is love. And if you're the child of a same-sex couples, that doesn't make you any different from anyone else. You're just the child of two people together. That's nothing to be ashamed of.
Violet: Violet looks touched. That's actually pretty kind of your Hubert. No one's ever said such a nice thing to me before.
Huey: That's because they don't take the time to get to know you like I have. See, Violet, we're not weird or annoying…we're just different from others and special in our own way.
Violet: Yes, you're right! You understand!
Before more words could be said Huey accidentally trips on small rock and comically falls on his back. Violet has her hands over her beak as he gets up rubbing his head with his hat off. He chuckles nervously.
Huey: I'm a little clumsy from time to time.
Violet smiles and kindly begins laughing. When Huey gets up picking his hat they both laugh off what just occurred. Huey turns to continue leading only for them both to see they're in front of two separate tunnels.
Huey: So which way do we go? Let me check my JWG.
Violet: You don't need to do that. I can figure out where we should go.
Before Huey could take out his guidebook, Violet walks up to the centre and places her hands on both sides of her head and closes her eyes in concentration. She feels a strange sound coming from the right tunnel and points.
Violet: This way!
Huey: What!? How do you know?
Violet: There's magical aura coming from that tunnel, I can sense. I believe it's our best bet for finding the gateway. Come on Hubert, no dilly-dallying.
Violet leads the way inside and Huey with a smile catches up and follows her.
After more walking inside the tunnel the two stop and gasp to see a blockade pile of rubble before them that no trains can enter through. Huey sighs in disappointment.
Huey: End of the line, I guess.
Violet: An undeterred Violet points up. Not quite.
They both look up to see a small opening at the top of the rubble that's big enough for them.
Huey: There's an opening up there we can go through. And it looks just about big enough for us.
Violet: Why don't we climb up and take a look.
And that's just what they do, climb up the pile of rubble towards the top. Along the way Violet steps on a weak ledge that collapses and she falls. She yells in surprise but gets caught in the wrist by Huey who smiles at her and she returns it with gratitude.
Huey: Are you okay?
Violet: Yes, thanks to you.
Huey helps her up and the continue climbing until they reach the opening and go inside it.
The intelligent duo crawl through the narrow space and Huey is feeling a little disturbed.
Huey: Say, Violet. The entrance to the Underworld in Duckburg, do you know what it looks like?
Violet: Unfortunately, no. Despite all my research I can't seem to find any information as to what the entrance itself is like.
Huey: Then I guess it's going to be a big surprise when we find it. They smile at first until they notice everything getting darker. Uh…what's going on? Why's everything getting darker?
Soon things get so dark as they crawl through the narrow tunnel that the only thing that can be seen are their eyes which greatly concerns them.
Violet: Hubert. Are you there?
Huey: I'm here. I can't see you but I can hear you.
Violet: Just keep feeling for the dirt and I'm sure we'll reach the end soon.
Huey: That's strange. I can't feel the dirt for some reason…or a dirt wall…almost as through we're on no-
All of a sudden Huey and Violet drop down screaming in horror. The both of them find themselves screaming down a dark void and then a vortex appears beneath them, sucking in the intelligent duo inside.
The next thing that was known Huey is trying to shake Violet awake in some sort of dark alleyway and the hummingbird slowly manages to open her eyes.
Huey: Violet. Hey, Violet, wake up.
Violet groans slightly but manages to open her eyes fully and lift her head up while rubbing the back of it.
Violet: Hubert? Where are we?
Huey: I only just woke up to see that we're in some sort of alleyway. He helps her up and they look around in confusion.
Violet: Are we back in the city?
Huey: I doubt it. It seems like we fell. Let's get out of this alley and figure out where we are.
They walk out of the alley and when they reach the end they're immediately shocked at where they are. The skies are darkened but in a somewhat pleasant manner and they find themselves in some sort of neon, Japanese styled city filled with ghosts of toons and cars zooming through the road at high-speed. They have their beaks wide open in sheer amazement.
Huey: Whoa! Violet: Newton's Apple!
Huey: This city is huge! And so…Japanese themed! And look at the ghosts all around us!
Violet: Judging by the darkened skies, the amount of ghosts, high-speed vehicles and this strange aura around the both of us it's logical to assume we have arrived in the Underworld.
A headless ghost holding his own head passes by.
Huey: Sure looks like it.
Violet: This is quite interesting. The underworld is a world of Greek mythology, yet it contains Japanese-themed city and culture.
They exchange smiling expressions.
Huey: Let's do what a Junior Woodchuck does best! Experience the local culture!
Violet: That…sounds like a great idea! Perhaps we can write down our experiences and analyse them later!
Huey: Huey pumps his fists in excitement. I love the sound of that! Let's go! Let's go!
He outright grabs Violet's wrist and pulls her along the pavement. A surprised Violet blushes from the contact Huey just made with her before giving a sweet smile and running along with him.
Montage
The both of them are in a restaurant where they've been given Japanese soup. To their surprise the soup turns quite ghoulish but they aren't that frightened by it. Huey just takes note of it in his JWG while Violet pets her ghoul which comforts and turns it friendly.
They are now both in a pet store where they end up meeting a lot of ghost pets. A Japanese dog circles around Violet in a spiral manner much to her amusement and she giggles when Huey shows off ghost cats sticking their heads out through his body and forehead.
Huey and Violet are then given some ice cream, though to their surprise it turns into ghouls, prompting it to be taken back and then exchanged from proper ice cream, much to their relief as they begin licking away.
Huey and Violet then appear in front of an empty road sloping downward like a hill. An idea comes to Huey's mind and he immediately gets a manhole cover. She grabs Violet's wrist and pulls her along.
Violet: Hubert! What're you-!?
Huey tosses the manhole and then jumps on it with Violet, sliding down the hill at high speed. Huey's gives off a cry if joy while Violet screams in horror but after the rush and thrill of it all sets in her screams become laughter and now the both of them are laughing as they ride down the road.
…
After experiencing ghost Japanese culture the two of them are now standing at the top of a ghost version of Tokyo's tower, overlooking the entire ghost city glowing from their perspective. They both warmly smile at the beautiful lights shining from the Japanese-themed city as they stand on the edge.
Violet: For a city in a land of deceased souls it's quite pleasant.
Huey: Yeah. From what Uncle Donald told me he did not have a great experience the first time he came here during his college year.
Violet: I suppose when you get to know the culture of a city…even in world such as this, you're able to have a good time. This was quite a fun and informative experience.
Huey places a picture of him and Violet having ice-cream in an empty page of his guidebook before he smiles at her again.
Huey: Yeah. Violet, I don't think you're some supernatural obsessed weirdo. You're just a kid like me.
Violet: Violet smiles gratefully and sweetly. That's…one of the nicest things that have ever been said to him. And…I don't think your weird either Hubert. You're just a boy who likes to gain knowledge…like me.
Huey: Yeah. They both frown as they stare out in the horizon. Though, it can be annoying when other kids tease you just because you're different.
Violet: I know how you feel. Other kids tease not just because of my recent interest in the supernatural…but they believe I'm boring to how you say, "Hang out" with. I don't let it bother me and just do my best to ignore it…but it can be hurtful…inside.
Violet looks down the tower feeling hurt, contrary to her usually stoic and monotone expression and Huey gives her an expression of understanding and sympathy which he turns into a soft smile.
Huey: Well, I think they're wrong about you. You're not boring at all.
Violet: You truly believe that? You've only known me for a couple of hours.
Huey: And in that couple of hours, I think you're a fun girl to hang out with Violet. You may act stoic and not express your emotions too much, but I can see you're a good person who wants a friend.
Violet: Yes, I do. Like I said, I love reading but I'd also like to have a friend that understands what its like to be me.
Huey: Huey places a comforting hand on her shoulder. Hey, I know what that's like. I love my brothers and Webby and all…but they don't understand what it's like to be my. It's difficult to find a friend my age who does understand and it wouldn't hurt to have one. His frown turns into smile when he faces a Violet. And, hey, I could be that friend you mentioned.
Violet: Violet widens her eyes, taken aback by this. Really? You would willingly be my friend?
Huey: Of course. Everyone always feels like the odd one out and that's why everyone deserves to have a friend.
Violet looks almost tearfully touched at this display of kindness before placing her hand on Huey's hand that's on her shoulder.
Violet: That's very kind of you Hubert. Thank you. I theorize this might be the start of a brand new friendship.
Huey: Yeah. Me too Violet.
The both of them smile warmly at each other but become disturbed when faint screams are heard from the other side of the tower.
Huey: Do you hear that?
Kingdom Hearts 2 (Pete Underworld Boss Fight Music)
They run to the other side of the tower and gasp in shock to see Heartless attacking the ghost people and causing them to fly away screaming. There are a bunch of Graveyards, Gargoyles, Search Ghosts, Wight Knight, Trick Ghosts and Neoshadows and they're destroying or breaking anything in sight.
Violet: What are those creatures!?
Huey: Huey spots the emblems. Wait a minute!? Those are Heartless!
Violet: Violet looks to him stunned. Heartless! I've heard about them! They're the evil creatures that come from the darkness in people's hearts!
Huey: Yes, that's right! I don't why they're here but they're certainly not here to make friends! We've got to stop them!
He charges in and Violet reaches out for him in fear.
Violet: Hubert! Wait!
Huey bashes a Neoshadow with his JWG and then swings it across its face. He punches another Neoshadow in the stomach before delivering an uppercut. He runs up and jump punches a Wight Knight, jumps on the face of a Search Ghost before bouncing off it to ram into a Trick Ghost. A Gargoyle lunges at him but he jumps to the side before jumping on it, stretching its wings and forcing it to fly around in random directions.
Violet never having been in a combat situation like this before does what she can. A Neoshadow attempts to cut her up but she dodges before whacking it with her book. She jumps to dodge another one before bashing its head. A Wight Knight uses a horizontal spinning attack that prompts Violet to get on her back and kick it against its centre, sending it flying back. When Gargoyles come after her she makes a run for it and slides beneath a bench that some of them crash into.
Huey continues painfully controlling the Gargoyle he's on by stretching its wing until her encounters some of its brethren that unleash homing shots from their mouth. Huey jumps off at the right moment for the shots to destroy the Gargoyle he was riding. He jumps on the face of another one and tricks its comrade into destroying him with another homing shot. He jumps off and tackles the Gargoyle into a Search Ghost and crashes them both onto the floor. A Trick Ghost flies at him but he quickly flip kicks it away only to be kicked by a Graveyard Heartless and sent screaming.
Violet whacks away another Heartless only for a homing shot to explode in front of her and send her screaming towards the railings at the edge. She lands on her back and then gets tugged by her shirt by a Gargoyle that tosses her across the tower floor and she screams in pain when she slams into a nearby wall. When she wakes up she gasps in horror to see Huey in trouble.
The Graveyard Heartless pins Huey down with its large foot and he struggles to escape. It reveals its Pumpkin form which is about to behead Huey with its double scythe which causes Huey to scream in terror.
Violet: NO!
Violet bolts up and thrusts her opens palms forward and they glow with power. The Graveyard is annihilated by a purple blast of energy much to Huey's astonishment. He turns in the direction of the blast.
Huey: Violet?
The blast did indeed come from Violet whose hands are glowing with purple energy. She pants as it dissipates and gives the astonished Huey a relieved expression only for a Gargoyle to make her scream in pain by ramming her into the wall before tossing the hummingbird away.
Huey: Violet!
Before he could even help her a Neoshadow slams into him and sends Huey flying. Both Huey and Violet slam into the railing high above the city and land on their tail feathers in pain to see a swarm of enemies approaching them. It was at this moment they were becoming fearful of their low chances of survival.
Huey: I'm guessing you've never been in an actual fight before.
Violet: Not really, no.
Huey looks over the railing, it's a long way down but the entire tower is surrounded by lines with Japanese-styled lanterns hanging from them. After careful analysis an idea comes to his mind and he looks to Violet.
Huey: Violet! I've got an idea, let's jump off the tower!
Violet: Violet is horrified. What!? Hubert, are you crazy!? If we fall, we'll-!
Huey: Huey just takes her hands. I know what I'm doing! Trust me!
Violet looks at the sincere expression on Huey's face. It does seem like he has a plan and seeing the Heartless approach them it's clear that they've got no other choice. She gives Huey a smiling nod and with that Huey wraps his arms around with a determined expression.
Huey: HANG ON!
They both execute a leap of faith and dive off the ghost tower. Huey and Violet scream loudly as they plummet down with Violet clutching onto Huey as tight as possible. Huey manages to keep his cool long enough to grab one of the lanterns and swings off them. He grabs another lantern to repeat the process and then he then holds his hat with both hands while Violet continues clutch as he hooks it onto a line to grind along it. They fly towards the ground and when Huey lets go they fall again only for Violet to send out another energy blast with one hand that acts as a cushion and they roll on the road.
When it stops they both pant in exhaustion from the thrilling and terrifying experience. Huey and Violet still have their arms wrapped around each other and when they notice this they blush in embarrassment.
Huey: Are…you okay?
Violet: Yes…I-I think so?
When they see how close their beaks are they become redder and separate while lifting their heads up and rubbing them.
Huey: Uh…sorry!
Violet: No, no! It's fine, really, I-!
They're disturbed when they hear and see the ghost Heartlesses flying down the tower and heading straight for them. The intelligent duo cringes in fear as Huey hides his JWG in his toonspace and throws away his damaged hat.
Huey: I think now may be a good time TO RUN FOR IT!
Huey and Violet make a dash down the empty road and then make a left down an alley way that the heartless chase them through.
Scenes shift to a bar called "The Old Coot Cafe." Huey looks out the window and doesn't see the Heartless anywhere in sight Violet sits on the floor against a table.
Huey: We should be safe here for a while. Not a heartless in sight. Huey sits directly opposite against another table.
Violet: That's a relief. We'll rest here for a bit and then take our leave.
Huey: Good idea. Are you gonna be okay, you took a few bad hits.
Violet: Violet smiles. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Though, I'm more worried about you right now.
Huey: Nothing to worry about. I'm used to it.
Violet: I could tell. I must admit Hubert; I'm quite impressed with your fighting technique back there. You're clearly versed in self-defence.
Huey: Huey blushes from the praise. Oh, I wouldn't give myself too much credit. Most of what I know was taught to me by my Uncle Scrooge and Uncle Donald. Webby and Mrs Beakely also taught me a thing or too.
Violet: Still very impressive. And you're plan of escape was brilliant! A tad reckless and almost resulted in our untimely deaths but using the lanterns and the wires to swing us down to safety…that was an ingenious move with creativity and instincts.
Huey: I like to combine brain with instincts depending on the situation. But my plan wasn't awesome as what you did back there! You can use magic!?
Violet: Violet looks down guiltily. I apologise if I scared you.
Huey: You didn't scare me at all. I was just amazed. Besides, you saved my life. Thanks.
Violet: Violet returns his smile. Likewise. You saved my life too.
Huey: Well we are friends.
Violet: Junior Woodchuck Rule 162: A Junior Woodchuck looks out for their fellow woodchuck, whatever the cost.
Huey: How much of the JWG have you memorized?
Violet: Oh, only all of it. You?
Huey: All of it too. They both chuckle a little. So are you a mage? Have you always been able to use magic?
Violet: It's a long story.
Huey: We have time.
Violet is a little hesitant at first but Huey's encouraging look gives her the strength to speak about her origins and she does it with a sombre and sorry look.
Violet: It was after the Shadow War, when the shadows and Magica De Spell attacked Duckburg. All my life, I've been rational, never giving things like magic a second thought…
(Flashback)
During the Shadow War when the Donald and the family made their final stand against Magica De Spell, Violet is on the beach running away from the shadows swarming above underneath the blackened skies as she swings her book to keep them away.
Violet: …But when the Shadow War happened it jolted something in me…it opened my eyes…
Violet stops in fear to see she's surrounded by two shadows. She yelps in fear as a shadow in front of her attacks. She holds up her book to defend only for it to get knocked away and she lands on her tail feathers. The shadow prepares to kill her until it just vanishes.
Violet: There is a world beyond textbooks and rational truths.
This was in response to Donald smashing the orb of Magica's staff. The shadow vortex explodes, the sky turns back to normal and the Gummi Ship and Sunchaser drop into the water as Magica's broken staff is flung through the air after losing her powers.
Violet: …One I'm compelled to know more about.
Violet watches the staff stick to the sand right in front of her and it turns back into Lena's amulet which she picks up and stares in wonder.
(End of Flashback)
Violet: Have you ever felt like you were living a sheltered life but there was something incredible just out of reach?
The sight of Violet's sadness causes Huey to stare at her sympathetically, knowing that feeling himself due to dismissing myths and magic in the path. It's his turn to be sombre.
Huey: As a matter of fact I do, Violet. I used to be like that too. In the past I used to dismiss myths, magic or anything that isn't logged in the JWG as complete nonsense. But then…something happened that opened my eyes too.
(Flashback)
Huey looks back on his first encounter with the Terra-firmians, he and Webby were angrily arguing about their beliefs while Dewey just watched.
Huey: When we all went to watch a movie about mole monster last year, Webby kept talking about the legendary Terra-firmians of Duckburg I kept dismissing them as non-existent because they weren't logged inside my JWG…
Because of Launchpad Huey, Dewey and Webby bumped into a Terra-firmian and when it showed its horrifying figure they were screaming in horror.
Huey: But then…I saw them up close and all my beliefs which I had stood by had shattered into tiny pieces…and I'm became afraid of the things out there that I didn't know about.
Huey stays in the train in fear of encountering more Terra-firmians until Webby and Dewey give him encouragement and Webby offers him her hand.
Huey: That was until Dewey and Webby encouraged me to open my eyes and face what the unknown has to offer.
Dewey, Huey, Louie, Webby and Lena meet their Terra-firmian counterparts.
Huey: It was that day I finally realized…there is a world out there far beyond what was logged inside my Junior Woodchuck Guidebook.
Huey and Red Terra-firmian come up to each other, waving hello in the same manner with their hands up before slowly reaching out and touching each other's index fingers E.T style.
Huey & Red Terra-firmian: Boop.
Huey: And it's the kind of world I want to learn more about.
After the Terra-firmians smash them an exit Huey and the red one give each other their goodbyes.
(End of Flashback)
Violet looks at Huey with pity as he gives of an expression of sadness like she did.
Huey: When you saw magic happen right before your very eyes did you feel all your beliefs which you've always stood by no matter what…
Violet: Shatter into a million tiny pieces. Yes, that was exactly how I felt. She then gives off a warm smile. But…I'm glad that happened. If it didn't then I never would've found out that there was much more about the world that I still needed to learn about.
Huey: Huey sits right next to her smiling. Yeah, and I might never have opened myself up to the unknown. You know Violet, the more time we spend with each other the more I realize how much more in common we have.
Violet: Yes, I realize that too. And the more I do…the more I like you Hubert and the more I know that I made the right choice to be friends with you.
The both of them realize they Huey has his hand placed over hers and that makes them blush while smiling warmly at each other until they're disturbed by the sounds of a silhouetted figure at the desk.
Man: Well, isn't this a sweet sight. Romance, aside, it's good to know that kids are still opening their mind to the unknown and gaining knowledge, one of the most important things to have in life.
Huey and Violet took seats in front of the desk and stare with a sense of familiarity.
Huey: Um…excuse me sir…do we know you? You seem familiar.
The duo reel back in fear when he reveals a butchers knife. The figure came out of the shadows with a cut piece of lemon to reveal himself to be an elderly duck with grey streaks of hair wearing a white shirt underneath an oldern olive vest with a gold buttons. Above them all he was wearing a green jacket and also black shoes. It is none other than Donald's great-grandfather, Clinton Coot.
When Huey and Violet recognise Coot they become shocked in amazement and Huey is about to go fanboy mode.
Violet: Wait a minute… are you!?
Huey: It can't be! I must be dreaming! IT IIIIIIIIIIISSS!
Clinton:* Clinton becomes taken aback by Huey's energy.* Whoa! Easy there, son! What's the matter!?
Violet's stoic expression disappears and they both give off looks of pure joy and excitement.
Huey: What's the matter!? You're Clinton Coot!
Violet: I have read all about you! You're a famous world travelling archaeologist! Your adventures and exploits are legendary and widely known throughout the world.
Clinton: Well, I'll be darned. People still remember me after all this time.
Huey: No one could ever forget you! Especially, me since you're my ancestor!
Clinton: This threw Clinton out for a loop as he puts on his spectacles. Ancestor! Hang on a minute; you wouldn't happen to be related to my great-grandson Donald Duck, by any chance would you?
Huey: Yes! I am, he's my uncle! I'm his nephew Huey Duck! He told me about he met you this once during his college years!
Clinton: Well, I'll be! I should've known you were related, you almost look like him! How's my great-grandson been doing? I haven't seen him in…well I'm not sure how long I've seen him; time loses meaning in the infinite night of the Underworld.
Huey: Uncle Donald has been doing awesome!
Violet: My name is Violet Sabrewing! It's an honour to meet you sir!
Clinton: I'm pleased to meet both of you.
Violet: You're not just famous for your archaeology and adventuring! You're also…
Huey: THE FOUNDER OF THE JUNIOR WOODCHUCK SOCIETY!
The both of them present their JWG's, impressing the archaeologists.
Clinton: Aah! Always good to see fellow chucker's and people are following in my footsteps. I see you have copies of my guidebook.
He presents his Junior Woodchuck Guidebook, the original one and Huey and Violet gasp in amazement.
Huey: The original guidebook!? OHMYGOSH! This is a dream come true! I have so many questions to ask right now.
Clinton: Fire away boy!
Huey: Why did you found the Woodchucks? What was your goal?
Clinton: Clinton talks with a proud expression. Few reasons, my dear boy. Seeing a lot on my travels I know that someday people might need to survive as well as help others out. And what better way to accomplish that than with the Woodchucks? That name has been a part of Duckburg since my father Cornelius Coot formed the "Woodchuck Militia" to defend Fort Duckburg. I founded the Junior Woodchuck society as a scouting organization for the children and teenagers of Duckburg to uphold the ideals of performing good deeds, helping out the community, seeking adventure, learning survival, protection of the wilderness, rescuing of the innocent, meek & helpless, and the preservation of knowledge so that I can help society in my own way just as my father did.
Huey and Violet are on the verge of crying tears of joy.
Huey: Wow…
Violet: Mr Coot. What was it that truly started your life as an adventurer?
Clinton: Good question Violet Sabrewing. He gets out a cup, spits it and cleans it up. Here, sit down and have a cup of my memories.
He brings out a sink which he sticks in his ear and juice now pours into the cup and then another one which makes Huey and Violet reel in disgust as two cups slide in front of them.
Violet: This is mildly unpleasant.
Huey: Well, as they say. Down the hatch.
They take a sip of the drink and instantly they're put into a memory trance like Donald, Panchito and Jose were.
(Memories)
A Young Clinton Coot stood in front of the portrait of Don Dugo, the leader of the original Three Caballeros.
Clinton: The knowledge that I was a descendent of the legendary adventurer, Don Dugo send me on the journey of a life time.
Clinton journeys all over the Earth, ranging from Snowy Mountains, flying planes through the skies and trekking through forests.
Clinton: I became a globetrotting archaeologist devoted to Don Dugo's band of brothers the Three Caballeros.
Clinton was now reading all sorts of books in different countries all around the world day and night.
Clinton: There was no library I would not go to no matter where they are, what it's landing policies were and whether or not it as open on weekends I learned all I could learn about the brave heroes and the mysterious Goddess who helped them.
Clinton finds multiple scrolls and artefacts about the Caballeros. Scenes shift to Clinton writing his findings in a book that is soon to become the first JWG.
Clinton: During my travels I logged all my findings and life and adventuring rules and tips in a Guidebook.
He closes it and places the Junior Woodchuck symbol, though it's disturbed by Huey's fanboy screams.
(Memory Pause)
Huey: The Guidebook! Clinton and Violet give him strange look. Sorry…got a little excited there with the Guidebook and all…anyway, continue.
Clinton: Like I said I logged everything in a guidebook. Huey screams again and Clinton clears his throat. I'm just gonna ignore that… (1)
(Memories)
On Woodchuck island Clinton stands in front of an audience of people where he presents a book places on actual stump and shakes hands with an official.
Clinton: And eventually I founded the Junior Woodchuck society to preserve knowledge, spread it around the world, help the innocent, seek adventures, learn survival skills and hep society.
And eventually Clinton finds the cellar leading to the treasure chamber.
Clinton: One of the books I read lead me to the discovery of Three Caballeros underground treasure chamber.
The cabana is built and so is the President's Manor of the New Quackmore Institute.
Clinton: Though I was unable to gain access to the chamber I was able to build my cabana on top and established the new Quackmore Institute with my partner Baroness Von Shellgoose.
Shellgoose's ancestor Baroness Von Shellgoose smiles at her partner and when Coot wasn't looking it turns sinister.
Clinton: But I was betrayed by the Baroness and when the chance had presented itself she seized control of the new Quackmore Institute while I was only left with the Cabana and the treasure chamber.
The Baroness replaced Coot's signature with hers on the doctrine, taking control and the institute develops into the city it has become to this day.
Scenes then shift to the Amazon jungle where Clinton encounters Ari who screams in his face and finds the temple containing Xandra's Golden Atlas.
Clinton: Another constellation was a trip to the Amazon jungle where I encountered the famous Aracuan bird and he lead me to a locked up Golden Atlas.
(End of Memories)
Huey and Violet have come out of their trance and Clinton wipes their cups after telling his tale.
Clinton: I spent the rest of my life trying to open and eventually I died on the last adventure I went on with my grandson Quackmore Duck. And that's my story.
Huey and Violet are in absolute awe of the story they just heard from Huey's ancestor and the founder of the Junior Woodchucks.
Huey: I'm speechless.
Violet: That is an amazing tale. They then frown in sympathy.
Huey: Sorry about the betrayal though and how your life ended, great-great-grandfather Coot.
Clinton: Clinton smiles in appreciation. Why, that's mighty nice of you kids to give sympathy but there's no need for it since things were made right in the end by the new Caballeros. Besides I lived a good life, learning about myself, helping society, spending time with family when I could and gaining knowledge.
The kids' frowns turn to smiles.
Huey: Gaining knowledge is one of the things I love to do too. I don't care what kind of library I'm in; I want to read and learn as much as possible.
Violet: The same applies for me. Believe it or not my dream is just to read and learn more and more as I grow older.
Clinton: Clinton can't help but laugh. Well, how about that? It's like talking with younger versions of myself…with one being a hummingbird.
Violet: Violet looks to Huey. You have quite the family line Hubert. To think that your ancestor was the one who founded the Junior Woodchucks.
Huey: Yeah, I used to think we were a boring family but after seeing what I've seen from Uncle Donald, Uncle Scrooge and the exploits of our ancestors I can only say this: Our family is awesome!
Clinton: Glad to see you think that way boy. There are still a lot of things about our family you don't know yet and some will surprise you.
Huey: So wait…Great-Great-Grandfather, you idolize the Original Three Caballeros?
Clinton: I sure do. They inspired to become the man I am now.
Violet: What are the Three Caballeros? I don't believe I've heard of that.
Huey: It's a long story; I'll tell you all about it when we have the chance back home.
Clinton: Back home? But aren't you kids dead?
Violet: As a matter fact we're not Mr Coot.
Huey: We came to the Underworld via one of its gateways in the living world.
Clinton reels back in shock and surprise.
Clinton: Then that means you're alive! He points at them both. And it also means we gotta get you back home before it's too late. He points outside. You'll be stuck here forever when the moon goes down forever.
Huey and Violet cringe at the sight of the moon with a demonic face in the sky.
Violet: We…did not think of that?
Huey: Can I ask how long will that be?
The moon already goes a quarter ways down and the duo gasp in shock.
Huey: Time really flies down here!
Violet: We don't have much time left, then.
Clinton: Follow me! I know just the right place to get you back to Duckburg!
Huey: But wait, what about those creatures, the heartless!?
Violet: Hubert's right. We can't go out there unprepared; otherwise those heartless will kill us.
Clinton: You'll need to be ready to deal with more than just those strange creatures. Luckily, I've got a secret stash of weapons.
He presses a hidden button under his desk and the wall holding shelves of drinks rotates to reveal various types of weapons hanging onto them and Clinton proudly motions to them.
Clinton: Help yourselves.
Huey walks up to the wall and puts a finger on his chin as he thinks of the right weapon to pick.
He smiles when he spots a guandao. The polearm is red and the blade at the top is quite sharp with a few teethes.
The length of the weapon is perfect for him and he thinks about how well he fought with a guandao during the Shadow War. He picks it off and gives it a good inspection.
Huey: I'll use this.
Clinton: Good choice with the guandao.
To Huey's surprise the guandao disappears in a red burst of light.
Huey: Whoa! What happened!?
Clinton: It's become a part of you. Don't worry. All you have to do is concentrate real hard, picture your weapon and it will appear in your hand.
Huey: Like how Uncle Donald's staff and sword appears in his hands. And I am good at concentration.
Clinton: Then it'll be easy for you Huey. Now what about you Violet, what weapon would you like?
Violet: Violet shakes her head and holds up her hand. I have no need for one. I've harnessed enough magic to form my own weapon.
She holds out her hand and a purple energy mace appears in her hand. The head is a morning star (spikes are coming out of it). Huey and Clinton give impressed whistles.
The three of them are now walking through the city with Clinton leading them and showing them around.
Clinton: So this hear is Underworld City. Over there is a sword shop, our samurai spa and my cousin Clara. She waves to a headless female duck holding her own head. Hey Clara!
Clara: She waves back. Hey Coot!
Violet: For a Greek mythology world this city has quite the Japanese them to it, not that I'm complaining.
Clinton: I've yet to figure out the reason for that myself. He stops near an alleyway. Hold it! He jerks a thumb inside. Don't take that alley! A bunch of Yokai down there.
Huey and Violet look to the alley and cringe in terror to see strange and frightening non-heartless monsters in there. Clinton leads them away.
Clinton: Yokai aren't ghost, they're vicious monsters and if you think you can't die down here in the Underworld, think again.
Scenes shift to the outskirts of the city where Clinton, Huey and Violet arrive at the top of hill where Clinton points up ahead.
Clinton: There it is! You see that purple flash of light up ahead. A small purple light shines at the distance in a cliff. That's your ticket out of here. If you can get there you're home free! Clinton immediately becomes terrified. But beware! Guarding every gate out of the Underworld is the meanest Yokai you've ever laid eyes on: The Tengu, a samurai falcon that can control the weather. He's very dangerous and if you think losing your life will be bad then be careful not to lose your afterlife if you die.
Huey waves off his ancestors concern.
Huey: Don't worry Great-Great-Grandpa, we'll be careful. I am the responsible triplet after all.
Violet: Thank you for all your help, Mr Coot. It's been a real honour meeting you.
They proceed to walk out until Coot holds Huey back.
Clinton: Huey, we've got to talk. Huey gives him his attention as Coot bends down on one knee. Listen, I spent my life idolizing the Three Caballeros but it wasn't for their heroics…it was for their friendship and camaraderie. And I've spent my afterlife being proud of your Uncle Donald for the things he does to protect the world and protect the people he loves…his family. Violet joins in on the conversation. Let me give you a piece of advice I gave your uncle. It's not about where you're going…but WHO you're going with.
Huey: Who I'm going with…
Huey turns around to Violet gives him a warm smile and he returns that smile, remembering what they've been through together in the hours they've got to know each other. Huey then looks back to his ancestor.
Huey: That's…a good life lesson. I'll remember that.
Clinton: That's all I ask. He then gets out a small black metallic box which he offers to Huey. Here, take this with you. Open it when you get home.
Huey takes the box and looks at it in wonder. And with that Clinton brings his descendent in for a big hug to which Huey gladly returns and Violet joins in on the hug.
Violet: I hate to interrupt this family moment but we have to go before the moon sets.
Huey: Just 5 more minutes.
(5 minutes later)
Huey and Violet are running across the outskirts of the city to the gateway and are already halfway but the moon has set halfway down.
Violet: We'd better hurry out of this world and get back home! The moon is already have set down!
Huey: We're almost there! They are nearing the gateway. We're almost home free! Nothing can stop us now!
But they halt when the screech of a falcon blasts through the air and something flies over them. It lands a couple distances in front, blocking their escape route.
It's a purple humanoid falcon wearing samurai armour. It's the Tengu that Donald, Panchito and Jose fought when they were last here.
The Tengu draws its electrified sword, intent on killing its prey. Huey and Violet widen their eyes in shock and horror.
Violet: …Except that! This must be the Tengu!
Huey: Huey gets serious. Guess we have no choice but to fight our way through.
Huey holds out his hand and in a red burst of light his new Guandao is summoned much to his surprise.
Huey: It works!
He holds it with both hand and points it at the Tengu just as Violet summons her Energy Mace and gets into a battle stance with it.
Violet: If we're going to escape we need to work together!
Huey: Then let's go!
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep (Trinity Armour Boss Music)
Party Members:
Huey Duck
Violet Sabrewing
Information: Defeat the Tengu and escape.
The Tengu charges at Huey and Violet with its sword swirling with electricity. Huey is the first to attack and charges in swinging his Guandao. Both their weapons meet and they get into a deadlock. The Tengu swipes Huey and he jumps to slice it only to be blocked. Huey launches multiple swings with his guandao and the Tengu blocks them. Huey spins his weapon like a bo-staff and meets it with the Tengu's sword.
Violet charges in and jumps up to smack the Tengu with her mace. It quickly kicks Huey off and blocks Violet's attack. The hummingbird flips back and thrusts her mace to shoot out spikes from it. The Tengu spins its blade to skilfully block the spikes and then Violet swings at the falcon only to be parried effortlessly and when she thrusts her mace the Tengu dodges and grabs her wrists. It tosses and sends her screaming into Huey who was trying to charge.
Both hit the ground and the Tengu charges, a lightning bolt strikes its sword and it launches a blast of electricity from it that forces Huey and Violet to separate. It slashes the air multiple times, unleashing blades of electricity at Huey and Violet at rapid speed. The both of them run around in opposite direction and barely avoid the electric shocks exploding behind them. They then charge at the Tengu left and right and it summons a second sword. They jump at the Yokai and swing their weapons. The Tengu blocks Huey with its first blade then Violet with its second. The duo then delivers a series of slices and swings with their guandao and mace only for the Tengu to parry their strikes. They eventually both get into a deadlock with it and push against the monster with all their strength.
The Tengu pushes them off and spins its swords to unleash two cyclones that combine into one and sweeps away Huey and Violet. The both of the scream as they're caught and spun around in the massive cyclone and the Tengu swings its blade to turn it into a gust of wind that sends Huey and Violet crashing and screaming to the ground where they groan in pain after land on their backs and chest.
Huey: Violet! Are you okay!?
Violet: Yes! But this Yokai is force to be reckoned with Hubert.
Huey: It really can control the weather! We need to think of some sort of strategy to defeat it!
Before they could come up with one the Tengu launches blasts of electricity that engulfs Violet as she gets up, sending her screaming and sprawling in pain.
Huey: Violet!
The Tengu brings down its blades and Huey barely blocks it with both sides of his guandao. He's forced into the defensive as the falcon unleashes merciless swings and then knocks Huey's weapon from his hand, sending it spinning and sticking to the ground. Huey gasps before getting kicked and lands on his back. A blast of electricity is sent his way and he screams in horror.
Violet: HUBERT! NO!
Violet comes up and holds out her open hands to form a purple energy barrier right around her and Huey. She struggles to hold back the electricity and groans as she does so but manages. Huey is in amazement.
Huey: How are you doing that!?
Violet: I don't know!
She manages to hold back more electricity until the Tengu flies up and unleashes a merciless barrage of strikes against the barrier and Violet groans as she struggles to protect her and Huey with a pained expression.
Huey: Violet! Concentrate! You can hold I back.
Violet: The barrier is beginning crack. I can't…! Too strong!
The Tengu launches a powerful lightning strike that not only shatters the barrier but also releases a wave of electricity that strikes down Violet and she scrams in pain. She lands next to Huey and the Tengu pins them down with its large foot. Huey and Violet struggle to escape and the Tengu brings up its blade. Huey sees his guandao and reaches out to it, re-summoning it in his hand to hold it horizontally, blocking the Tengu when it brings down its twin blades. Huey struggles with all his might to hold it back as Violet re-summons her mace and releases a blast of energy from the tip that strikes the Tengu in the chest and sends it reeling back in pain.
The Tengu sees Violet leap towards it and smack her mace in its face that causes it to stumble and Huey takes advantage of it by slicing his blade across its chest, creating a gash in its armour that makes it reel back. Huey and Violet are in fighting stances with smirks on their faces.
Violet: We might just have a chance after all Hubert!
Huey: Yeah! If we can work together like that then there's no way will lose as long as there are no more surprises!
Seconds after saying that a bunch of the heartless that attacked them on the tower appears much to their astonishment and fear while the Yokai smirks.
Huey: Me and my big mouth…
The heartless attack them both. Huey deflects dark energy balls from some Trick Ghosts by spinning his staff before slicing some of them in half. He blocks a Wight Knights spinning attack before pushing it off and slashing it as well. He dodges some Neoshadows, stabs one, slices the second one and when a Graveyard attempts to impale him he jumps up and drops on its head, impaling and destroying it before jumping off it and landing on the ground. A couple of Gargoyles attack him but he slides underneath one of them while slicing it across its belly, destroying.
Violet whacks a couple of Neoshadows with her Mace, blasts some incoming Search Ghosts before slicing the air to release more spikes at a couple of Wight Knights behind her. Some Gargoyles attempt to nab her but she charges forward and flips above them, releasing more energy blasts from her mace that destroys them.
She spots the Tengu and blasts it only for it to counter with an electric blast that ploughs through her magic. Violet literally gets shocked and sent screaming pain. The Tengu flies up, grabs her hair and begins banging her against the ground, making her screams agonised and then tosses her away. Her face is bruised, her ponytail becomes undone and strands of her hair stand out as she struggles to get up. The Tengu approaches her and she weakly swings due to exhaustion. Her mace is knocked away and she gets knocked down. The Tengu brings up its swords for a final strike and Violet screams in horror.
Huey: VIOLET!
Huey pushes off a Wight Knight and slices before rushing in Violet's direction.
Huey: NO!
The Tengu brings down its blades but in what seemed like less than a second Huey stopped its attack and was now pushing the samurai falcon with all his might while giving off and angry look.
Violet: Hubert!?
Huey: Don't…touch…my FRIEND!
Violet would be touched if it weren't for the swarm of heartless approaching them on all sides and if she wasn't seeing Huey get forced to his knees as he struggles to hold his ground.
Violet: Hubert! Stop! You'll get killed!
Huey: I don't care! Junior Woodchuck Rule 162: A Junior Woodchuck looks out for their fellow Woodchuck no matter the cost!
Now Violet is touched but Huey is forced down even more and it looked like the end for them until to their great shock a giant fist rammed into the Tengu and sent it flying into a couple of heartless faster than a bowling ball. Huey drops to his hand in exhaustion and he and Violet look to see that it was Clinton who had saved them. They exclaim in happiness.
Huey & Violet: Great-Great-Grandpa/Mr Coot!
Coot comes over and helps them both up.
Clinton: Let me help you kids up!
Violet: Much obliged!
Huey: You came to help us!
Clinton: Well, of course! Junior Woodchuck Rule 162: A Woodchuck looks out for their fellow Woodchuck no matter the cost!
Violet: How did you do that with your hand! That's scientifically impossible!
Clinton: In the underworld the scientifically impossible can become magically possible!
He breathes against his thumb and his whole head inflates much to their amazement.
Huey: I am so confused!
Clinton: It deflates back to normal. Now let's kick some Yokai butt and the butts of those dark vermin!
Huey: Fighting alongside the founder of the Junior Woodchucks who's also my ancestor! I'm so happy I could die…for real!
Huey, Violet and Clinton get in battle stances as they face the creatures.
Information: Clinton has joined the party!
The Heartless lunge at them and they scatter.
Huey cuts some to pieces by skilfully spinning his guandao and slicing away while deflecting any blasts sent his way.
Huey: Alright! Let's see if this works!
He takes a deep breath and breathes against his thumb like a balloon. Both his hands inflate like one and now they're incredibly massive as his guandao is dismissed.
Huey: IT WORKED! It really worked!
He watches Gargoyles, Search Ghosts, Graveyards and Neoshadows approach him but he easily swats them away as though they were volleyballs.
Violet: If you can do it, so can I!
She breathes against her thumb like a balloon and this time her feet inflate until they become massive as well.
Violet: This is a pleasant and bizarre phenomenon!
Search Ghosts, Neoshadows, Graveyards and Trick Ghosts approach her but she stomps them all into annihilation with her massive feet.
Clinton: That's it kids! Use this world to your advantage!
Clinton spinning with his large stretched out fists and arms like a top, whacking away incoming heartless with ease.
They then watch the Tengu Yokai squawking and charging at them to slice them up, prompting them to change up. Huey's hands deflate and his head becomes massive, Clinton deflates his arms and his body becomes as fat as a balloon and Violet deflates her legs, before enlarging one of her arms.
The Yokai attacks only for Violet to block its path and flick it around with her fingers.
Violet: And who's afraid of an itty-bitty Yokai!?
Violet flicks it harder and sends it comically screeching into Clinton's belly and the archaeologist sends it flying to Huey who swallows it and spits it out into the air where it's comically suffering from pain and humiliation.
Tengu: Oh, squawk!
It drops down for Violet to slap it like volleyball and sends it flying in the air where a bolt of lightning electrocutes it and knocks it out.
…
Huey, Violet and Clinton cheer victoriously as they deflate back to normal.
Huey: We did it! Huey and Violet look to each other excitedly.
Huey & Violet: That was amazing/spectacular!
Clinton: Clinton wraps his arms around both of them. Well, this has been one of the best days of my death! Thanks for the adventure kids!
Violet: Violet and Clinton shake hands. We should be thanking you, Mr Coot. It's been an honour fighting with you.
Huey: Yeah, thanks for saving us Great-Great-Grandpa. And for the advice.
Clinton lifts up Huey for another hug which he gladly returns before he's set down.
Clinton: Give my Great-Grandson Donald my best regards!
Huey: I'll be sure to tell him!
It was at that moment a massive cruise arrives on the scene much to the confusion of Huey and Violet. The passengers were all excitable ghosts and at the wheel was none other than Captain Charon who helped Xandra get to the Underworld once.
Captain Charon: This is your captain speaking! It's time to PARTY!
The passengers all cheer and after a ramp is set down Clinton walks up it as he waves goodbye to Huey and Violet who does the same. Once he gets on the duo watch the boat leave and they admiringly stare at it.
Huey: He is so incredibly weird.
Violet: Yes. Yes, he is. And you know what, so are we.
Huey: And that's okay. Come on, let's go home.
Just as the moon fully sets down Huey and Violet run inside the portal and disappear into it.
The passengers cheer as they and Clinton wave goodbye from afar and watch the kids leave.
Clinton: So long Great-Great-Grandson! You and your Uncle have made your Great-Great-Granddaddy proud!
Huey and Violet scream as they fall through the purple vortex and towards a flash of light that completely engulfs everything around them.
Back in Duckburg at sunset, at the beach, a small whirlpool slowly forms in the water and it blasts out Huey and Violet who are screaming at they're blown to the sand where the sprawl and stop on their backs. They lie perfectly right next to each other panting in exhaustion. It takes one good look at each other to get them chuckling, which turns into laughter and then that laughter becomes hysterical as they lift their heads up. It dies down and they give happy faces, even Violet who isn't being stoic.
Violet: That was…fun! Despite being in death's doorstep I quite enjoyed myself! The thrill, the rush…it all felt so incredible!
Huey: That's adventures for ya. No matter how dangerous it is the adrenaline you feel in your body makes it hard for you not to enjoy it.
They both stare at the sunset and Violet hugs her knees with warm expressions.
Violet: You know…I haven't laughed like this or had fun in a long time.
Huey: Really, you haven't?
Violet: When you don't have many friends there isn't really a lot of people you can laugh or have fun with and when you're teased like I am you do everything you can to suppress your emotions.
Huey: But now you have a new friend in me, Violet.
The both of them smile at each other somewhat romantically and Violet looks grateful.
Violet: Yes, you're right. I do. I don't know why but I feel safe expressing my emotions when I'm around you Hubert. Experiencing the local culture with you in the Underworld City was the most fun I've had in while. I guess I've been reading books so much my entire life that I never really give myself the chance to experience the joys of laughter and having fun. Thank you Hubert, thank you for helping me have such a good time and for helping me experience the joys of adventure and laughter.
Huey: I'm glad I could help you Violet. We make a pretty good team, don't we?
Violet: Yes, I agree. We work well together…and I'd also like to thank you for saving my life.
Huey: Of course I'd save your life Vi; you're my friend and a fellow Woodchuck. Besides, you saved my life.
Violet: She frowns in guilt. I apologise, though for risking your life by bringing you with me in my pursuit of knowledge.
Huey: You don't need to apologise for that. I was glad to come with you. If I had said no I would've blown off the opportunity of making a new friend. Violet looks touched and he sheepishly smiles. And hey…maybe we could…I don't know…hang out together when we get the chance…
Violet: Violet's smile becomes wider. I'd be happy to hang out with you…Huey.
Huey is touched to hear her call him by his nickname. He then gets up, takes out the box his ancestor gave from his toonspace and stares at it curiously.
Huey: How about we open this together. Violet gets up smiling.
Violet: It would be my pleasure.
They clutch the box and open it together, slowly revealing 2 gold bracelets with ancient engravings on them. They take out one each.
Huey: Cool…
Violet: These bracelets are quite beautiful.
Huey: They then look directly at each other smiling. How about we wear these to symbolise our new friendship together?
Violet: I like that idea. And seeing you're the first friend to truly understand me, you're the perfect person to share a symbol of friendship with.
They strap their gold bracelets one of their wrists and hold them up towards each other as they gleam from the sunlight. It was at that moment Violet surprises Huey with a hug that makes him blush to which he soon returns before they separate.
Huey: It's getting late. Come on, let's pick up our stuff back at the library and I'll walk you back home, Vi.
Violet: I'd appreciate that, Huey.
Huey: He gently holds out his hand. Shall we then, Miss Sabrewing?
Violet kisses him on the cheek and Huey blushed and smiled sheepishly at the gesture. Violet noticed this and giggles while blushing too.
Violet: Of course, Mr Duck.
She takes his hand and both Huey and Violet walk across the beach hand-in-hand, not knowing of the romance that is blossoming between them.
What they didn't know was that the tunnel that they didn't take in the subway lead to two more tunnels, one which said closed for reservation. In reality, behind that metal door at the very end is a secret metal structure with a door. Inside it, were darkened rooms and in one of those rooms three shadowed-bird figures stood at the top addressing someone and giving orders. The one in the middle, obviously the boss was doing the speaking as they sat in front of a large screen that reads FOWL…The Fiendish Organisation of World Larceny.
Boss Bird: We have a special mission for you.
Standing on the floor is a large, muscular yellow rooster with a metal beak, red chin, red hair, large dark bluish tail-feathers and light-yellow sclera. He wears a white suit, red undershirt, black bowtie, black pants and black and white shoes (The front half being black).
Boss Bird: The secrecy of our comeback may be at stake here. He presses a button that shows Huey and Violet picking which tunnel they should take. Earlier today, these two children were exploring the subways and if they had taken the other tunnel they might've found our headquarters. Normally we'd let this slide, but… The screen zooms in on Huey. …One of these children was the nephew of Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck. Leaving this one alive might jeopardise our plan for larceny. We're counting on you…Steelbeak. You're mission is simple: eliminate Hubert Duck and Violet Sabrewing.
The Screen shows too separate images of Huey and Violet posing. Steelbeak stares at both images with lowered eyebrows, knowing his mission. Scrooge is unaware that FOWL is secretly plotting a comeback and Huey and Violet are about to become their first target.
