Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 2

Chapter 10: Glomgold's Master Plan

3 months had passed. 3 months of Glomgold being dictator. 3 months of executions. 3 months of hell. The city of Duckburg had fallen into an apocalypse, sadly without the zombies. ⅓ of the city's population had died from either the weekly executions or the rapidly spreading Virus known as Covid-19 (it's still relevant when we're writing this so please don't tease us umu). Glomgold, still not understanding that it was a virus, believed that he had actually started to gain god-like powers of some sort because of how stupid he was.

Citizens prayed to giant statues of him daily, hoping for the virus to stop and their family members to be saved, for their sins to be redeemed. Flowers, among other donations, were left at his giant, concrete feet.

Due to the rapid population decrease, many businesses had shut down, food and electricity became rare. The only time TVs were turned on was during Glomgold's daily digital and mandatory church services and his announcements. Those who were still alive learned how to play the bagpipes and painted their face with a plaid pattern.

Sure, he wasn't the greatest ruler and his people were suffering, but he was now richer than Scrooge McDuck because of all the money donations he was given to spare the people from Covid, so like, he was doing pretty swell. Obviously he couldn't stop the spread but he didn't care about that either. To him, his 'powers' were just that strong.

"GOOD MORNING, SCROOOOOOGIEEEEEE!" Glomgold barged into Scrooge's cell that was located inside his city hall, now deemed his dictator headquarters. Behind him stood a God Bot, a robot that basically replaced Ellie for him since she wasn't around to serve him anymore. Thankfully, this God Bot didn't talk back and was way less annoying. And the bot had a cool ass kilt like Glomgold himself. Glomgold was also sporting a new kilt. It looked like his normal kilt that you see in the show except now it's GUCCI! He also got himself some new gold chains but he kept those bad boys tucked under his shirt. "DID YA HEAR I GOT POWERS NOW?! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! I REALLY AM A GOD AND THE RICHEST DUCK IN THE WORLD!"

Scrooge groaned. He would've thrown his head back in annoyance if it wasn't for the fact he could barely lift his head. He didn't get a good night's sleep on the concrete floor while being chained to a wall. "You don't have powers, Glomgold. It's an epidemic. Duck Jesus."

"SHUT UP! IT'S MEEEEEEE WRATH!" He paused. "God Bot, what's an epidemic?"

God Bot didn't respond because Glomgold commanded him not to talk, something Glomgold had forgotten he had ordered.

"FINE! DON'T RESPOND!" He huffed before turning back to Scrooge. "Want an update on your family, Scroooooogie???" He rubbed his hands together, menacingly and smiled widely. "They've swam through a lake of sharks, witnessed executions, did parkour over lava, battled to the death, AND worst of all they had to sit through an entire late 80s soap opera!"

If the God Bot could talk he would've gasped.

Scrooge's eyes narrowed. "How COULD YOO! I thought you were better than this! Leave me family be!"

"NEVER! MUAHAHAHAH!" He threw his hands in the air before he cockroach crawled over to Scrooge to get all up in his face. "I will make them suffer everyday 'til they're on the brink of death, then burn them at the stake. Just like I will do to you, Scrooogie." He bopped him on the nose.

Scrooge spat on Glomgold's new Gucci fit.

"AH! ME KILT!" Glomgold kicked Scrooge in the face. "No meals for you today." Before Scrooge could respond or curse or whatever he was going to do, Glomgold left, slamming the door behind him. "God Bot, get me meh phone!"

Got Bot obliged, pulling out the new Waddle phone to hand to his master.

Glomgold dialed up random numbers until he got who he needed. "HELLO?!"
