The Spy that Loves Me

Chapter 36

Gyro quickly caught B.O.Y.D before he plunged himself into the volcano. 

"It's alright!" He told him as B.O.Y.D tried to break free. "That Scrooge was just a clone!" He assured him. 

"A, A clone?" B.O.Y.D choked out. 

"Yes. A clone. I could tell the moment I stepped foot in the mansion. Something was a bit off about Scrooge, then, though..." Gyro said, looking back into the volcano as the last of the cloned Scrooge disappeared into the lava. "This one behaved a bit too much like the old Scrooge." Gyro added, then frowned. 

Was that F.O.W.L's plan? 

To rid the McDuck family by replacing Scrooge with a clone of himself, and if that was the case, where was the real Scrooge? 

Gyro could tell it hadn't been the real Scrooge because he glitched a bit. Sort of like how B.O.Y.D glitched when he malfunctioned. Gyro saw it in the clones eyes. Which is how he knew it wasn't the real Scrooge. 

Gyro glanced down from the volcano and saw that Jose and Panchito was being corner by Falcon Graves and his two goons. 

"B.O.Y.D." Gyro said, urgently, he knelt down in front of him and looked him in the eyes. "You think you can take us down there so we can help our friends?" He asked, putting a warm hand on B.O.Y.D's metal shoulder. 

B.O.Y.D glanced down then back up at Gyro. 

"I, I don't know -. Black Heron -. She, she told me something about Huey, and, I -. I don't think -." B.O.Y.D stammered. 

Gyro stared at the boy bot and gave him a warm smile. 

So, 

That was it. 

B.O.Y.D was worried for his friend. 

Which, Gyro completely support, and approve of. 

The boy needed friends in his life. Real or not. B.O.Y.D existed, and if you exist, you need to exist for your friends, as well as your family. 

"Look," Gyro said, "we aren't doing Huey any favors if you just freeze at the very mention of him being in harms way, you need to stay focused and have us figure away out of this, then, we can help Huey. Okay?" Gyro told him as gently as he could. 

"O,Okay." B.O.Y.D whispered. 

"Good. Now. Activate, rocket boots." Gyro commanded, with a grin. 

B.O.Y.D nodded, and kicked them on. 

"That's my boy." Gyro said, beaming at him. B.O.Y.D held out his hand to Gyro and Gyro grabbed it and as B.O.Y.D carried both of them down, torpedoed both Graves, and his two goons with his laser vision, causing them to go blind and having Jose and Panchito kick them roughly into the once carnivorous plants nesting ground.

Suddenly, out of no where, the same plant popped up and gobbled Graves, and the two goons in one bite, then snaked back into the ground, and out of sight. 

"Okay. That was..." Jose began, staring at the place the plant had just been. 

"Dangerous?" Panchito suggested. 

"More like...Awesome!" B.O.Y.D pointed out excitedly. "What was that?" He asked. 

"Something we came across with before." Panchito told him, making a sour face at the memory, then, looked around, "Um. Where's -." He began. 

"That Scrooge was a clone." Gyro informed them. "He fell into the lava." 

Panchito and Jose stared at him.
