Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 2

Chapter 34: Something Part 2

Steelbeak looked out his office building at the riot going on below. GizmoDuck was continuously yelling for Steelbeak to show himself and fight. Steelbeak may have been a dumb himbo, but he wasn't stupid. This was some sort of distraction, no doubt. He turned to the God Bot behind him. "I assume the riot is being handled well?"

"Yes, sir. We have it under control. There are only about 15 Bots reprogrammed. That's not enough to take us down."

"WELL IT WAS ENOUGH TO DISTRACT FOR 5 FUCKING MINUTES!"

The God Bot flinched.

"There is a reason this is happening." He started pacing around the room, hands behind his back. "Gather other God Bots to search the building. I bet Mark and Ellie's little friends are here to help. Get them and bring them to me. Understood?"

"Y-yes sir."

The God Bot yeeted the hell out before he got hurt himself. Steelbeak punched the wall in frustration. He knew a confronation was about to happen and he wasn't fucking happy about it.

It didn't matter. They weren't going to win.

For now, he just enjoyed the show. GizmoDuck was shot down.

"...You can smell Mark?" Ellie asked while following Glomgold who was still scattering on all fours across the hall. Boyd was skilled enough to be able to remove her tracker. They left it in the cell, hoping it would trick Steelbeak longer enough for them to come up with a plan of escape. Or a plan to kill him? Ellie didn't really know what was going on. It didn't seem like Boyd knew either.

"YES NO SHUT UP MEH NOSE NEEDS TO CONCENTRATE!" Glomgold closed his eyes and sniffed around the area, moving back and forth between Ellie and Boyd. He opens his eyes and points down one hallway. "HE'S THAT WAY! COME ALONG ROBO-CHILDREN!" Glomgold was in the lead, crawling on the floor.

Glomgold scattered his fat body all the way to the elevator. He got up long enough to push the button to go up. "MARK IS ABOVE US! WE NEED TO GO UP!"

As the three waited for the elevator, Glomgold had started scattering around them impatiently. Boyd clung onto Ellie being a little freaked out for obvious reasons.

"Uncle Glomgold?" Ellie asked. "I hope it is not rude of me to ask, but why are you helping all of us? You wanted us dead not very long ago."

"NOOOOOO! IF YOU DIED, WHO WOULD DO MY LAUNDRY?!"

Ellie decided not to question it any further. Maybe he finally viewed them as his family.

"GAWD! Why is the elevator taking so long!" Mark banged his head against the wall. "I don't have my phone or anything! And, like, God Bots are probs gonna find us again and then I won't be able to hire a family therapist! OR GET A NEW PHONE!"

Gyro sighed and turned to Gloria and Buddy. "We need to come up with a plan. How are we going to find Ellie, Boyd and Glomgold? They could be anywhere in this hellhole!"

"Yeah I know right? Crazy!" Buddy laughed. "I thought for sure he would have both of 'em," meaning Mark and Ellie. "Up here. But I guess he didn't want to torture the other one? I dunno. We should check the prison cells next, but we need to hurry. It took us long enough to find, um..." He looked at Mark who was muttering complaints to himself. "...that guy."

"And what are we going to do about Steelbeak? Are we going to kill him?" Gloria added.

Buddy put his hands up. "Listen, babe, I have no idea. You guys wanted me to help you find your friends and that's what I'm doing. Whether you're going to come up with murder plans or not is up to you. But Steelbeak is not one to be reckoned with if you haven't realized that by now so you can't just pull an idea from out of your ass. You guys really should've thought this more through before coming here."
