Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 5

Chapter 14: Escaping Camp GodGold 2.0

"Get in there!" The GodBot holding Past Gloria hostage pushed her forward onto the ground of Steelbeak's office. He proceeded to attach her handcuffs to a pipe, all cliche like. "The counselor will be with you shortly." The GodBots left as quickly as they came, slamming the door behind them. There were already GodBots standing guard just in case she made any funny moves.

"O-oh man, Gloria. W-we're in so much trouble. I'm p-pretty sure the poison didn't work..."

Gloria jumped, she hadn't even noticed the seagull that was beside her.

She gave Wyatt a really confused look. "What are you talking about?! And how do you know my name?!"

He returned the confused look. "The, uh, the poison y-you gave Steelbeak. I d-don't think it worked...? And um..." He trailed off for a second. "And do you w-want me to start calling you 'Gladis' in public? Is that what y-you're asking of me?"

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't even know who you are!"

Wyatt laughed nervously. "So... y-you're pulling the prank on me now? I don't think n-now is the appropriate time... b-but okay." He never understood Gloria but he decided to go along with what he thought was a 'prank'. "Okay, since we don't know each other. M-my name is W-Wyatt. But I guess t-that doesn't really matter if w-we're about to die so..."

Yeah they were fucked. Gloria decided to just drop the whole thing about Wyatt knowing her. She really didn't give a shit at this point. "Where's Steelbeak? I don't understand why we're here... but you said something about poison?" She was starting to get stressed out. She was badly beaten up by Steelbeak when he didn't have any beef with her! It's a no-brainer that Steelbeak would kill them in the most painful and brutal way imaginable.

"U-um... yeah. Some other girl who looks like you, my F-French friend, Gladis, she gave S-Steelbeak a drink that was actually made from poisonous b-berries... and I- I was sort of in on it." Wyatt sniffled. He was now getting genuinely upset, not that he wasn't before.

She put two and two together that Wyatt was referring to the Olive Garden waitress. "But that doesn't explain why I'm here!" Gloria would've started talking about a game plan on escaping but she couldn't with the guards in the room. They were listening to ABBA with their airpods but Gloria still didn't want to risk them overhearing. "Okay okay... I've spoken to Steelbeak before. Maybe I can get him to let us go. And that it was all just a huge misunderstanding." She knew that plan wasn't going to work but she didn't know what else to say.

Wyatt was now crying. Man, what a pussy. "I-if you say so... I'm just not r-ready to die yet. T-there's still my family back in Duckburg. My m-mom and my siblings. I have to get out of here so I c-can make sure they're safe!" He was determined, but he was also set on the idea they weren't going to make it out.

Before Gloria could respond to that very sad tale, ya boi, Steelbeak, busted into the room.

"Well, well, well... guess that smoothie really was shit! You really thought someone of my BMI would die from that low of a dose?! Yeah right!" Steelbeak got in Gloria's face. "What do you have to say for yourself?!" In a weird way, he kind of sounded like he was lecturing a child.

Gloria glared at him and tried to back away from him as much as she could in her restraints. She was holding a brave face but Steelbeak still scared the hell out of her. "I don't know what you're talking about! Now get the hell out of my face and let us go!"

He laughed, but he did back up. "You don't know what I'm talking about?! Don't play that game with me!" Steelbeak looked over at Wyatt. "I bet your little friend knows what I'm talking about. Don't you?"
