DuckTales: Forging Legacies

Let's Get Dangerous! Part 1

"This is the city of St. Canard. A metropolis overrun with the worst kind of crime: Super Crime. But a purple protector stands alone, dutifully watching for-" Launchpad says as he drives, taking focus off the road.

"Oncoming traffic!" Dewey warns as Launchpad swerves out of the way in time. As he does, there is a THUD followed by an annoyed 'Ow' from Ian.

"Sorry Bradford. Bit of unexpected turbulence. All fine now." Scrooge says as Huey, Louie, and Rebecca grab onto their seats, terrified.

"All would be better if you weren't wasting time and money on this trip. After that string of accidents, our Saint Canard research facility is a lost cause." Bradford says over the line, grumpy as usual.

"Hey, I plan to look into the accidents on Mr McDuck's behalf. Don't need the unions on our rears." Ian says. "Besides, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Just so long as those broken eggs don't burn down the house, that is." He reasons.

"Aye. Doctor Bulba may be a bit unorthodox, but his lab is cutting edge. If he says he's on to something big, ae trust him." Scrooge reassures.

"His latest project is supposed to be revolutionary." Huey says.

"Profitable." Louie adds.

"Reckless. Mr McDuck, Bulba's experiments are worthless pipe dreams. Better not to deal with him." Bradford says.

"Yes, fine, thank you Bradford." Scrooge then turns off the video phone. "Short-sighted old buzzard. There's no reward without a little risk. Bradford doesn't know how things work."

"Agreed." Rebecca says.

"Uh, sir?" Ian points to the video phone.

"I'm still on the phone." Bradford says.

Scrooge then tries to turn the phone off with his cane, before resorting to hitting it. "Ae don't know how it works. Someone shut this blasted thing off."

Rebecca then turns it off for her uncle. "Bradford's still a stupid old buzzard."

"Hurry, Launchpad. A bold new scientific horizon awaits." Huey says as they are driven.

"But do try to get us there in one piece." Ian says.

...

Soon, Scrooge, Rebecca, Huey, Louie, and Ian arrive at the lab, where Taurus Bulba greets them.

"Scrooge McDuck. What a momentous honor. Ooh, let's take a picture." Taurus says as he takes a selfie with Scrooge and the other r, picking up the three kids and making Rebecca and Ian uncomfortable.

"The pleasure is mine, Bulba." Scrooge says.

"Ah, call me Taurus, or Terry, or whatever you want. You're Scrooge McDuck. Ah ha ha." He then turns to Ian. "Ah, Mr Ian Boone, so good to see such a bright young mind in the STEM field."

"I mean, I enjoy knowing how things work, it pays well, and it is useful to society. If only we could get Gyro to stop trying to make AI that turns evil!" Ian says, annoyed by how many times he has almost been killed by Gyro, eye twitching.

"Ha! Smart and funny!" Taurus pats Ian on the back, then puts Huey in his palm. "And you must be Huey."

"You know me?" Huey asks.

"Junior Woodchuck Robotics Champion four years running? I'd hire you right now if you weren't too short for the lab coats." Taurus then turns to Rebecca. "Ah, Rebecca. Such an open-minded young lady who will no doubt carry on from where you uncle left off."

"Well, Uncle Scrooge does expect a lot given he sacrificed ten years raising me." Rebecca shrugs.

"And what fine work he did. I cannot wait to work for you some day. If we both outlive your uncle that is." Taurus jokes, before turning to Louie. "And Louie, huge fan of Louie Inc. Groundbreaking stuff, young man."
