Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 5

Chapter 9: Marky no like this

Ellie woke up from Mark's aggressive coughing. It seemed Kyle had woken up as well.

She was quick to climb up onto Mark's bed. "Stop coughing. You woke Kyle up." Homegirl thought coughing was something that could be controlled.

Mark started to feel like shit. "Ughhhhh! I think I'm dying!" He groaned. He was being a tad overdramatic on top of his actual illness.

"What do you mean? Your body has not started to decay yet." Ellie was referring to old people.

Mark only responded with a bunch of coughing. Gross.

Ellie scanned him. "Oh. You have the unidentifiable disease." She climbed back down on her bed with Kyle and didn't think anything of it. The thought of Mark possibly dying didn't cross her mind. The disease wasn't in her data after all.

Gyro was half awake and, for once, he was paying attention to their conversation. He sat up and looked over the other side of the room. "Mark has the disease?" If it was only Mark, he sure as hell wasn't telling Ellie where to find the medicine. That is... until a coughing fit overtook him as well. Fuck.

Mark picked his head up and glared at Gyro. "Yeah. I'm going to spread it to you!" He started coughing in his general direction like the little twerp he was.

"You idiot! I am mighty sure I have it too!"

Boyd finally spoke up. He was just watching shit go down up until that point. "You're sick?"

Gyro wasn't intentionally trying to be rude, but he sort of waved Boyd off. "Yes, but I'll be fine." He peeked his head slightly over the bed to see if Gloria was awake. She was and she looked really annoyed by Mark's constituent rambling about being sick and selfies and abs and what have you. "Are you feeling okay?"

"I think so. I'm not coughing so that's a good sign." She looked over at Mark. "Mark, what are your symptoms."

"Ummm my chest hurts and I'm coughing. I feel hot but let's face it, I am always hot! Pew pew pew!" He laughed which turned into a coughing fit.

She rolled her eyes. "Okay, then I'm fine for right now." Mark was a walking disease even before this happened. If she didn't have it now, there's no doubt in her mind that she would soon. "How are you feeling?"

"Same as Mark but not... stupid."

"Hey!"

They both ignored him. "Okay, I need you to do me a favor. Apparently Steelbeak has medicine in his office for whatever this is. You need to get it." Gyro whispered.

Gloria raised her brow and whispered back. "Huh? How do you know that? What if I get caught?"

"Ummm... that French Waitress from Olive Garden knows a lot of stuff." He had no idea what else to say to that. "And I'm not exactly sure how you wouldn't get caught... maybe you could-" Gyro looked over at Boyd who was trying to go back to sleep at the foot of his bed. "No. Nevermind."

"There is a cure for the disease?" Ellie, with Kyle, managed to walk over to their side of the cabin without being noticed. "Well, if you believe the medicine is needed then I must get it for Mark so he will not die. I may not like you, Dr. Gearloose, but I do trust your judgement." That was actually sort of nice?

"You get the cure? No. You're just going to give it to Mark and hope Gloria and I die of natural causes. That way Boyd won't be mad at you because it 'wasn't your fault'."

Damn. Gyro knew her too well.

Ellie nodded. "Yes. That is my plan. I do not see the problem."

Gloria sighed. "Okay how about this." She was mostly talking to Ellie now. "What if you and I work together and both sneak into Steelbeak's office and get the medicine and we split it between both Gyro and Mark."
