The Chronicles of Emilie Duckman-Part 3

Return to the Lost Library

"So,this is the Lost Library,huh?"said Big Gino when he,and the rest of F.O.W.L. arrived there.
"Yeah."said Steelbeak.
"Not what I was expecting."
"What were you expecting?"asked John D. Rockerduck.
"Something smaller,something that didn't like a museum."admitted Big Gino.
"It's the world's biggest holder of knowledge!"said Pepper in a chipper voice.
"Fascinating."said Big Gino. "Let's go."It took them a while to get to the Lost Library due to the dunes that built up over the two years that F.O.W.L. had left, but they eventually got to the library.
"That took forever."complained Phantom Blot as he shook sand from his robes.
"Aw,come on,it wasn't that bad."said John.
"Easy for you to say."said Don Krange. "You had Jeeves to carry you the entire way."
"Not my fault I was born into wealth."said John.Steelbeak suddenly opened his mouth to say something.
"Jeeves,open this door."snapped Big Gino causing Jeeves to drop John.
"Hey!"complained John when he hit the ground.
"He's the only one strong enough to open the doors with all these dunes."explained Big Gino as Jeeves opened the doors.
When they entered Walt couldn't help but look around.The last time he was here he was a prisoner,now he was probably going to be the captor.Somehow it gave him a thrill.
"Okay."said Big Gino,interrupting Walt's thoughts. "Where was Bradford's office?"
"Down the hall on the left,then turn right."said Pepper helpfully.
"Good.While I go there,the rest of you clean this place up.We're not doing business in a sand filled place."
"What?"protested John. "You want me,John D.Rockerduck, to work?"Big Gino suddenly took out a gun, and pointed it at John.
"Well,it's either clean this place,or death.Choose your pick,Rockerduck."said Big Gino.
"Work."
"Good.Are there any other complaints?"
"No,no,no,no."said the other F.O.W.L. agents.
"Good,now get to work."said Big Gino before walking towards Bradford's former office.
"Man,Bradford was never like that."said Steelbeak.
"Probably too weak."commented Negaduck.
As the other F.O.W.L. agents talked about the differences between Big Gino, and Bradford,Walt began to wonder if he made the right decision.At first it seemed like the right decision, but now,it seemed like a rash one.
'But Big Gino made a lot of good points.' thought Walt.But did he?He had his brothers.But they still lived in Birdyloon.
'Maybe I didn't have a choice.' thought Walt.It wasn't like he could leave.Gandra tried to leave, and she got put into one of the cells.
"Hey,Walt."said Don. "Are you paying attention?"
"Oh no,sorry."admitted Walt.
"Trust me,you'll get use to F.O.W.L."said John.
"Yeah.Just think about all the stuff that comes with working for F.O.W.L."said Steelbeak.
"I know,good pay,a place to live."said Walt.He heard it before.
"No, we mean traveling around the world."said Phantom Blot.Walt perked up.He did have the chance to travel around the world.
"Getting to do whatever you want."said Negaduck.
"Expect singing, and dancing."added Don.Walt thought for a while.They were right.F.O.W.L. got to travel around the world, and do whatever they want.Sure it was for global domination.But considering what his sister(or former sister) did it would be worth it to prove-something-to his former family.
'But what?' thought Walt.He had plenty of time to think of what he had to prove to his family.After all,the Lost Library was huge,as such,it took a while for the F.O.W.L. agents to clean it.They weren't even half way done when Big Gino returned.
"Let's finish this later.We got business to discuss."Big Gino said when he arrived.
"Are you going to help us after we're done with business?"asked John.Big Gino glared at him.
"What?"asked John. "It's a honest question."
"Let's go."said Big Gino,turning around.Everyone followed him.Walt wondered where they were going.He had a feeling his fellow F.O.W.L. agents knew where they were going.
'Wait.'thought Walt. 'Did I refer the F.O.W.L. agents as 'my fellow F.O.W.L. agents' ?'Clearly he was in too deep.
"Good,we're here."said Big Gino when they got to what used to be Bradford's,but now,Big Gino's office. "Okay,now let's get down to business."
"So,what's the plan?"asked Phantom Blot.
"In order to win,we must make sure that Clan McDuck is out of the way, and to make sure they're out of the way,I'm assigning Steelbeak, and Walt to destroy Scrooge's delusions of having a prefect family by revealing the cracks in the family, and making them bigger until they destroy the family altogether.Meanwhile,Negaduck will go after the friends of Clan McDuck, and pit them against the members of Clan McDuck who they don't associate with that much with."Steelbeak,Negaduck, and Walt smiled.
"Meanwhile,"continued Big Gino. "Phantom Blot,Pepper, and Don Krange will get the most powerful artifact in the world.The Ark of the Covenant.It's located underneath McDuck Castle along with the treasure that the Knight Templers  stole.We have the Ark of the Covenant,it'll be easier for us to take over the world.Any questions?"
"Can we take the other treasure?"asked Don.
"Sure,why not.Now Rockerduck,you, and Jeeves will slowly take over McDuck Enterprises in a hostile takeover."
"Oh joy."said John,who was clasping his hands together,clearly eager to get started.
"But what about you?"asked Pepper.
"Me?"said Big Gino. "I'll be getting the rest of the Giovanni crime family here,recruiting more Eggheads, and using them to build a base for us in Duckburg right under Clan McDuck's beaks.The last place anybody would look.Underneath the Money Bin."
