Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 5

Chapter 56: It's Vegas Again

"Oh man, what a crash!" Launchpad chuckled to himself. He pulled out a map to figure out where they were while everyone got themselves pulled together. They weren't as used to crashes as the McDuck's. Man, the Glomsquad were a bunch of losers, weren't they?

No one in the plane responded; they were all gripping onto chairs for dear life. Excluding Boyd who was still staring straight ahead like nothing was happening.

Ellie slowly unbuckled her seatbelt and walked over to Boyd. She knelt down in front of him. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, everything is operational. Are we free to leave the plane now?" Boyd unbuckled his seatbelt and hopped out of his seat anyways.

"Sure!" Launchpad still had his face in a map. "Hey, you got your navigation badge right? Do you know where we are? I think my map is broken."

"...It's a physical map though."

"...A what?"

Boyd ignored that and searched his data. "It appears we are right outside of Las Vegas, Nevada."

"Huh?!" Gloria's face went pale. "Launchpad! Do something! We're nowhere near Duckburg!"

"No can do, Ms. G! It's going to take a few days for me to get the plane up and running! But that's okay, we can make a little vacation out of it!"

Gyro grumbled to himself. "I'm tired of vacations." He got up. "Alright. Let's start heading to the city."

Gloria stayed in her seat. "No! I'm not going! I'm not leaving this plane until it's fixed and we're back in Duckburg!"

"BOOOOO!" Mark gave her a thumbs down. "C'mon man, we're in the party hot spot of the world! Don't be fucking lame!"

Gyro gave Gloria a strange look. He figured she would be ecstatic about crashing in Vegas of all places. "Well, the desert gets hot Gloria so no. We have to go find a hotel."

"It's not a good idea. Look, why don't we all pitch in and help Launchpad fix the plane!"

Like clockwork, a large chuck of the plane's wall fell.

Launchpad laughed "Okay, make that an extra day!"

Ellie huffed. She didn't want to be rude to Gloria, but she also didn't want to watch an argument go down in a plane after everything in New Orleans. She needed a break.

"Gloria. We are going to Las Vegas and that is that. Now get up." Damn.

Mark started laughing.

Gloria got up from her seat and crossed her arms. She was not happy. "Goddamnit...Fine! But we're leaving as soon as the plane is fixed!"

Gyro laid a hand on Gloria's shoulder. "We can talk about this at the hotel."

The hotel they chose, or rather Mark chose, was The Bellagio. And goddamn was it fancy. There was no way in hell Gyro would be able to afford it if it wasn't for Ellie forcing Mark to pay for everyone.

While they were waiting in line, Gyro turned to look at Gloria. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not right now..." She kept her head down and didn't make eye contact with anyone. "Listen, I need a drink. Can you text me the room number and meet up with you later?"

He sighed. "Yes. Just be careful and don't get wasted." Gyro was at a loss. He had no clue why Gloria had such an issue with Vegas. He figured if it was that big of a deal, Future Gloria would have told him.
