Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 2

Chapter 11: The Plague

Cabin 8 sat at the same breakfast table they always did. Eating the same questionable waffles that were a different color every day.

"Mark," Ellie said, while poking at the food she wasn't going to eat. She just got it for Kyle as usual. "I'm sorry about our fight last night. It was my fault."

Mark winked into the phone, taking a selfie that he was captioning '#SummerCampLife!' "Uh Huh it's cool."

Gyro, ignoring the two obnoxious people of the group, laid his hand on Gloria's. "Did you manage to sleep at all?"

Gloria shook her head no. "Did you?"

He sighed, knowing no sleep wasn't good for the baby. "No. I didn't." He eyed the two across the table in annoyance. "Honestly, Glo." Yes, he started calling her that now. "We should ask about switching cabins."

Mark was listening in on their conversation like the little bastard child he was. "God! Finally! Just leave already!" He took another selfie with the flash on.

Gloria muttered "Steelbeak wants us to suffer..."

Gyro laid his head on his hand, knowing Gloria was right. "Yeah..."

3 months stuck in a cabin together didn't make any of them happy.

"GOOD MORNING, CAMPERS! I GOT A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!" Steelbeak entered the chat. "ALL COMPETITIONS AND CHALLENGES WILL BE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!"

Gyro spit out his morning black coffee that was 100% shit. "WHAT?"

Steelbeak wasn't able to hear Gyro's question since everyone either gasped or asked the same thing.

"I know. I know. It's a sad day for all of us. But I spoke to our lovely dictator and he believes you all deserve some time off. Enjoy the camp as you will!" He didn't even bother to answer any questions or clarify anything before leaving the hall to do whatever he did in his freetime. Probably sharpen his beak or something.

Some people started clapping from the news. Others cried, like Huey, and one or two people coughed.

Ellie turned to the group. "I don't believe this is right. Malice was evident in his voice." She voiced before putting Kyle in her front pocket of her dad shorts. She may have been stressed but she still was observant.

"Pfttttt, who cares! C'mon Ellie, let's get away from these losers so I can take some hot selfies." He grabbed her, dragging her off before she could give further warnings to both Gloria and Gyro.

Gyro huffed. "God, finally."

Ellie, knowing Mark needed a break from Kyle, dropped the kid off at the cabin before going on a hike Mark so desperately wanted to go on. She thought this was rather strange since he had such a hatred for nature, she expected him to want to stay in the cabin all day or something similar.

"Mark, you told me you hated nature. Why do you want to go on a hike?" She asked.

Mark gestured towards the sky while sitting on a cool rock. "Perfect lighting! And I will need more selfies than ever because I've been off the grid for so long! I need to get my social media schedule up and running again! You understand." He struck a pose on the rock waiting for Ellie to take a photo of him.

She snapped a shot. "I do not understand." She said before showing him the photo. "Is that the quality you desire?"

He scrolled through the photos only to realize that she only took one photo and it was blurry. "Ugh, noooooo you gotta take like, 7! And keep the phone steady too! My fans deserve quality photos of me!" He went back to the rock and posed again.
