Who is Julie McDuck?!

The Shadow War Part 2

The green-feathered woman cackled as she unleashed a wave of purple magic throughout the city that began to turn people's shadows into evil, living entities.

A purple aura surrounded her as all of the shadows swarmed to her.

"COME TO ME, MY SHADOW PUPPETS!" she shouted as she moved throughout the city.

Before we knew it, all of our shadows came to life and flew off and we all screamed.

Louie got up. "So, still going to Cape Suzette, right? Cool, yeah, I'll start the boat."

I squinted and noticed...the woman wasn't alone. As she made her way to the Money Bin, I saw...there was a young man beside her with ink-black hair.

"JOSH?!" I yelled, leaning out against the boat.

My brother turned around to face me, but...he didn't look like the brother I knew. Just looking at him sent a shiver down my spine. To match his black hair, he had black irises. His smile seemed to ooze evil.

"NOW, JOSHUA!" the witch bellowed, and Josh's hands began to form a green aura. He held out his hand and blasted the Money Bin, causing it to crumble and collapse.

We all gasped.

A vortex of black, red, and green swirled around the now destroyed Money Bin. The sorceress moved inside and, using her staff, made two thrones out of gold with one lower than the other. She chuckled evilly as she moved Josh like a puppet to the lower throne and sat atop the higher one herself.

We all gazed over to the Money Bin.

Donald quacked in alarm and turned to Mrs. Beakley.

"Magica DeSpell!" she said, her voice dripping with fear.

"Wait, who?" Dewey asked.

I snapped my fingers; that's why she looked so familiar. "Magica DeSpell, a vile sorceress with a mysterious, ancient grudge against Clan McDuck. She was Uncle Scrooge's most bitter rival, but no one's seen her since they fought on Mount Vesuvius fifteen years ago," I explained.

"Wait, Kylee and Jake are in the mansion!" I yelled, pulling at my hair. I turned to run towards McDuck Manor, but Mrs. Beakley caught me by the hood of my jacket.

"Julianna, it's too dangerous," she said calmly, but the look in her eyes said different.

"But-but..." I stuttered, tears starting to pool in my eyes. If anything had happened to my niece and nephew...

Just then, Kylee ran up the dock of the boat with her little brother in her arms. She leaned down to her knees, gasping for breath.

"Kylee! Jake! Oh my gosh, thank goodness you're safe!" I gushed, bending down and hugging them. "What happened?!"

She took a deep breath.

"UncleScroogegotcapturedbyMagicaandsheturnedDaddyintosomethingevilandJakeandImanagedtoescapeand-!"

"Woah, kid; easy," I soothed her. "Just tell us what happened, but not all in one breath!"

Kylee looked at me with tears in her eyes. "Magica turned Daddy into something evil and captured Uncle Scrooge!"

"Captured him? How?"

"She-she used his Number One Dime and it sucked him in!" Kylee explained.

So the stories he told me were true, I thought. All of a sudden, a form covered with seaweed emerged from the sea and we all screamed in horror. Louie, being a coward, pushed his brothers forward.
