DuckTales: Be Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 4

Scrooge found himself sitting on the couch. Huey and Dewey were watching TV until they noticed him.

"What the heck?!" Dewey yelled, jumping out of his seat. "When did you get here, Uncle Scrooge?"

"Louie has something that grants wishes," Scrooge said. "I'm sure of it. He'll end up destroying us all with it, it might be some very powerful object."

"Should we go upstairs to check?" Huey asked.

"Definitely."

Louie sat on his bed, still feeling queasy. This dang stone nearly got him in trouble.

"Would you like to make another wish?" it asked him.

"No," he snapped. "I'm getting really tired of you. Just... I wish I had never--"

The door slammed open. Scrooge, Huey, and Dewey came into the room.

"Ah, I knew you were lying to me and you had something, lad! " Scrooge exclaimed, reaching for the stone. "Now, give it here!"

The stone glowed and spoke in its raspy voice, but it could only be heard by Louie.

"Foolish duckling," it said. "I could give you anything you want. You could switch lives with someone famous, or have your own mansion, if you really wanted."

Hypnotized by the stone, Louie raised it up high in the air and said, "I wish the world was the way I wanted it!"

"Louie, don't be stupid!" Scrooge yelled.

Then, the whole world was instantaneously transformed; the mansion disappeared, leaving behind virtually nothing but burning rubble. Outside, statues of Louie had magically popped up, and the rest of the world was exactly how Louie wanted it; with everyone bowing down to him.

Louie looked around at the chaos around him. His brothers looked at him with terrified looks. They began to fade into transparent ghost-like forms, before they, too, bowed down to him.

"All hail, King Louie," they said monotonously. 

Scrooge ran to Louie, to take away the Labradorite, but then he froze in ice.

"Uncle Scrooge, no!" Louie yelped. "You stupid stone, this isn't what I wanted!"

"No, but it's what I wanted," the stone's raspy voice said.

A figure emerged from the stone, enshrouded by bright magical lights.

"Magica De Spell?" Louie squeaked.

"No, you idiot," the figure said. "I am the Witch of the Foray Caverns, a very gorgeous and powerful sorceress!"

"So, you just wanted me to get you out of that cave?" Louie asked. "You just wanted me to say that so you could be free?"

"Yes, I was cursed to live in that jewel by some old fellow, I can't remember his name...McQuack, was it? I'm getting close, I bet. But, as soon as someone says those exact words that you said, I am freed from my prison!"

The Witch snapped her fingers, and Louie's brothers said, "All hail, Queen Witch Lady."

"Young boys, if it's not too much trouble, take Llewellyn here to..." the Witch looked around and pointed to a volcano. "There. Throw him in there for your queen."

"Yes, Your Majesty," they said, grabbing Louie by his hair and dragging him towards the volcano.

Scrooge watched the whole thing. He thought he had defeated that Foray Cavern Witch back when she was simply an evil old lady, before she got her powers.

They were all in some serious trouble now...
