Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 2

Chapter 20: Steelbeak's Petty Revenge

Steelbeak shoved open the doors to Godgold's office. "I'm back, just as you requested, Supreme Leader."

Glomgold looked up from his MLP themed phone. "WOT?! Why are you reporting to meh when you can be hunting down the outlaws?!" He looked back down to read the most recent articles praising him.

"Well, sir," Steelbeak's tone was sour and sarcastic, but not enough for Glomgold to notice. "I was hoping you had an idea of where I could begin my search, considering you're the dictator and know everything."

"UGHHHHHH I DUNNOOOO WHERE THEY AREEEEE! THAT'S YOUR JOB!"

"Hm. Understood." He smirked, walking closer to Glomgold's desk. "I have a question for you."

"WOT?!"

"You plan on firing me after I complete my mission, correct?"

Glomgold threw his head back and groaned. "YEAHHHH! WHY?!"

Steelbeak towered over him, attempting to intimidate the man with one brain cell. "What do you plan on doing to me afterward? Execute me? Imprison me? Let me free and pray to you along with the rest of the public?"

"EHHHH I DUNNO! I HAVEN'T THOUGHT IT THROUGH SO SHUT UP!"

"Yes, sir." As Steelbeak exited the room, he turned to side eye Glomgold before the door closed. "Be careful what choice you make."

Gyro paced back and forth in the lab, Launchpad and everyone else sitting around him. "We wasted all of yesterday dealing with you, Ellie." He eyed her. "So we had no time to start planning our next course of action. I'm starting to believe my lab will be a safe place of hiding for only a limited amount of time."

Launchpad raised his hand.

"What Launchpad?"

"Well, we could go crash at the McDuck manor!" He meant crash literally but no one assumed that, but honestly they should have. "I'm sure they'll take us in!"

Gyro stopped, placing his sassy hands on his mushroom top. "The McDuck manor is the most dangerous place we could be right now. Do you not remember me telling you what happened to Scrooge?"

"Erm... what happened to Scrooge?"

Picking up his pacing again, Gyro ran a hand down his face. "Nevermind. Does anyone other than Launchpad have an idea? I'm at a loss which is saying a lot."

Ellie raised her hand.

"What?" He bit.

"When my head was being smashed in by Steelbeak, Glomgold was the one who saved me. I know he wants us dead but I think there's still good in him after what he did. If I just had a chance to talk to him again I could attempt to convince him to let us live. I doubt he would be willing to give up his throne, but our lives are worth the confrontation."

"That idea is even more stupid than Launchpad's. Next!"

"Ooh!" Gloria shot her hand up. "What if, and okay hear me out, we all dress up as clowns and pretend that we are a traveling circus! Then we can-"

"Gloria, that is very OOC, even for you." Ellie stated.

Gyro nodded. "Thank you, Ellie." Reluctantly, he turned to Mark and groaned. "I can't believe I'm asking this, but do you have any ideas, Beaks?"

He shrugged while scrolling through twitter. "Why can't we just stay here again?"

"BECAUSE THEY'LL FIND US EVENTUALLY! NO ONE LISTENS TO ME!"
