"What is it now Beaks?" Scrooge said, rolling his eyes.

"I have made an invention that you in particular shall find useful Mr.McDuck." Mark Beaks gloated, while tapping away on his phone.

"Oh yeah? What would that be Beaks?" Scrooge said, raising his eyebrow in enquiry.

"What do you love more than anything in this world? What do you desire? What is your wish?" Mark Beaks gestured his hands as if he was giving a presentation.

"Just tell me what the blasted thing is will ya?"

"Scrooge. I have developed a state of the art.." Beaks turned around to a huge machine behind him and pulled the white cloth cover down.

The cloth fell and underneath was a huge contraption made of hard metal colored in gold. There was a conveyer belt running through a small tunnel and the rest was just metal hiding electronics.

"What in tha blazes is that?" Scrooge looked amazed but felt slightly nervous.

"Money making machine! Alliteration and amazement. Mark Beaks, you are a genius." Beaks said, forgetting Scrooge was standing next to him.

"What?! Beaks..You've got a lot of nerve to-"

"Just observe!" Beaks ran to the conveyer belt and Scrooge watched.

Beaks pulled a lever on the left side of the machine. A few seconds passed and a few noises were made until a dime came out of the right end. Beaks quickly ran over to the coin and tossed it up in the air only to catch it again.

"Of course, you can print out whatever you want. If you'll observe again." Beaks pointed to loads of buttons on the machine.

"You can print notes, coins, even old coins!" Beaks said, pointing to each button.

"Marvelous! This actually seems promising.." Scrooge scratched his chin.

"Well, I'm taking a big risk here but.." Scrooge thought for a moment.

"How much would you want for this?" Scrooge asked looking the contraption up and down.

"20 million." Beaks quickly blurted out.

"20 million! What kind of blasted, dumbfounded reason would you have for charging that much!" Scrooge nearly fell over.

"Uh..because you can technically print it back in a few months? I thought we should both win in this purchase." Beaks said, giving a smug look, chuckling.

"What kind of stupid plan is that?" Scrooge said but then fell into deep thought for a few seconds.

"What do you say to a trade?" Scrooge leant forward on his cane.

"I'm interested. What are we trading?" Beaks responded, raising his eyes from his phone.

"You know what? I know a certain inventor that is losing me money greatly at the moment.."

"I would normally keep him but he is killing my revenue. If I let him go and offered you a room in my mansion? You'll have all the space to build whatever you want.." Scrooge said, raising a concerned looking smile.

"So long as you don't destroy me mansion!" Scrooge continued waving his cane towards Beaks.

"You know what Scrooge? Deal." Beaks raised a smirk and left, staring at his phone.

Scrooge slapped his head, feelling as though he had made a bad deal.

"Wait. Who's gonna bring this thing to my home?" Scrooge asked, but Beaks had already left.

"Oh toadstools.."

*Later in the mansion*

"Oh my goodness! What is that hunk of beautiful metal!?" Dewey asked in excitement, jumping up and down.

"It looks like.." Webby began to speak.

"It's a money maker!" Scrooge yelled into the room, raising his arms.

"Yeah. I was totally gonna say that." Webby bragged.

"Oh my gosh, you can print money with this thing?" Dewey said, continuing to bounce up and down.

"Aye. But I want you to bed. It's getting late.."

"Awww. But.." Dewey whined.

"No buts. To bed. Besides it says that to make a 200 note it takes about 12 hours.." Scrooge squinted at text above a button.

Scrooge rushed Dewey and Webby out of the room and put them to bed. Louie and Huey were already asleep.

Scrooge then entered Gyro's office and as usual, the 'scientific advances' he was making were broken. He spoke to Gyro, who was looking at blueprints.

"Gyro.. I have something to tell ya.." Scrooge said quietly.

"I know. I know Scrooge! I'm trying but they just don't work." Gyro kicked a robot head across the floor.

"Yes..I did some thinking and..well..I think it is time I let you go Gyro.." Scrooge felt guilty for saying that.

"Yeah..I figured that's why you were here..I'll leave.." Gyro said, walking with his head down, out of the mansion.
