1867

• Scrooge McDuck is born the only son of Fergus McDuck and Downy O'Drake McDuck. He also has two sisters: Hortense and Matilda.

1877

• Scrooge begins working as a shoeshiner. Fergus notices his son's lack of luck in finding work, so creates a scenario with Bert the ditch digger, where he muddies his boots and gives him an American dime to give to Scrooge. Working hard to fix those muddy boots, Scrooge becomes inspired by his hard earnings to become tougher than the toughies, smarter than the smarties and sharper than the sharpies and escape the poverty of his youth.
• However, Scrooge was also inspired by a book he read by one Isabella Finch. With the book detailing her many heroic exploits, Scrooge also is interested in doing more than just earn money. He'd also want to have adventures while he does it.

• The Rockerduck conflict
  • Scrooge arrives in the town of Gumption, sensing an opportunity to harvest gold from the frontier town. Unfortunately, though he does find evidence of gold, Goldie has followed him to Gumption, and so they race each other to the giant gold nugget buried under the town, only for national millionaire John D. Rockerduck to steal it away with the mining rights to the town.
  • Unwilling to give up "his" gold, Scrooge forms an alliance with the sheriff Marshall Cabrera, Goldie and a mysterious inventor who definitely wasn't trapped in the past to steal the nugget back for the town after the inventor mentions how Rockerduck was actually a con-man.

• Somewhere in Europe, the wicked sorceress Magica De Spell and her brother Poe take over a village, forcing the villagers to serve and feed them, and sometimes turning them into animals for their own amusement. When the villagers stop to pay their tributes, the De Spell siblings summon a shadow army. Unfortunately for them, one of the shadows they try to summon belongs to Scrooge McDuck, who puts up a fight against Magica. Scrooge deflects a spell that would have turned him into a raven, which nearly hits Magica but Poe intervenes, resulting in him turning into a raven instead. Poe flies off, and despite Magica's pleas, Scrooge refuses to stop him, taking some of Magica's gold instead. He uses the gold to buy a farm and sell goat milk from the villagers that Magica turned into goats. Magica spends years searching for Poe, but cannot find him.

Mallardy though looked down on him despite being his employer. When the two are dangling by a rope over a sheer drop, Mallardy cuts the rope and sends Scrooge falling to his doom. Scrooge survives the fall, but his failure leads to a spun tale and the title "Neverrest Ninny" who failed the explorer in his attempted summit, though nobody knew it was him. As for Mallardy, he gets lost due to a series of wormholes protecting the mountain and eventually dies in a cave, cursing Scrooge's name.
• A nobleman known as T.E. Lawrence^note who would turn out to be Scrooge McDuck lost in time arrives in the Middle East to serve as a liaison in the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire^note that is, the actual Turkish monarchy, not the television show named after it.

While frightened at first, Scrooge eventually manages to trap this being on a remote island and imprison it in a money bin with magical defenses.
• Freelance Spy
  • In the early 60s, Bradford Buzzard, Isabella Finch's grandson, joins the secret organization SHUSH thanks to a favor Director Ludwig von Drake owes Finch. Bradford proposes that the organization, instead of merely stopping master criminals and terrorists, should try and take direct control of the world so that the villains can't act in the first place. Director Ludwig von Drake rejects Bradford's proposal due to sounding too villainous. Bradford, instead, contacts the master criminal Black Heron, who has just been arrested by SHUSH for attempting to carve her face in Mount Neverrest, and offers her to form the Organization for World Larceny (O.W.L.). She agrees, but only if they add "Fiendish" to the name.

  • Scrooge throws the first-ever company Christmas party at his manor, inviting many friends and business partners as guests. Agent 22 and Bradford Buzzard (along with his "business partners" who are actually his clones) all attend as guests. The guests appeared to have fun, except for Bradford who did not like the frivolous wasteful celebration. Goldie also paid him a visit at the time to pilfer a few candlesticks in the process. The party ended by Pa Beagle (now known as Grandpa Beagle or Grandpappy) and three of his boys (Bugle, Bankjob and Babyface) showing up and raiding the mansion that night.
  • Also at this time, Scrooge from the future came to visit to enjoy the party with the Ghosts of Christmas. Unfortunately, he found the process less fun than he thought, and so the Ghost of Christmas Past moved them farther in the past instead to try a new one.
• To keep his ever-increasing fortune somewhere, Scrooge orders the construction of a giant building, the Money Bin, on an island in Duckburg's bay.

Scrooge's Adventures with Donald and Della

The first Adventure

• Sometime in the 1990s, Donald and Della place a firecracker under Quackmore Duck's chair. Hortense asks Scrooge to take care of the twins while she takes her husband to the hospital.
  • On the same day, Agent 22, now the Director of S.H.U.S.H., informs Scrooge that the Papyrus of Binding has been located on Phantom Island in the Bermuda Trapezoid. Della convinces Scrooge to take her and her brother on the adventure (though Scrooge insists on calling it a "business trip").
  • Unfortunately, Bradford Buzzard also learns about the Papyrus. He and Black Heron race the Duck family for the Papyrus. When the situation turns dire, Bradford uses the Papyrus to erase himself from the memory of Scrooge and his family.
    • Realizing he needs to protect the papyrus, Scrooge casts a spell that the papyrus would only be found by "the true heir of Clan McDuck". Heron escapes following the loss.
  • Shortly after this adventure, Bradford quits SHUSH and seeks a job at McDuck Enterprises. He gets excellent recommendations from Director 22. Bradford and his clones become Scrooge's new Board of Directors, supervising his finances.
  • Bradford also starts to work on carefully wording a contract that ensures that Scrooge will never go adventuring again. His plan is that, once the Papyrus of Binding is found again, he'll attach it to the contract, making it magically binding.
• After Hortense and Quackmore's death, Scrooge McDuck is given custody of Della and Donald Duck, taking the role of the caretaking uncle for the fraternal twins.

Adventures

• Part of why Scrooge hired Bradford was because he wanted to go on some genuine adventures with his family again. And after the experience with the papyrus, Scrooge, Donald and Della form a formidable group, gaining reputations as daring, capable and brave heroes throughout the world.
  • On one such trip, they discover Ithaquack, where Della and Donald make friends of Selene and Storkules of the gods. Unfortunately, Scrooge also manages to outplay Zeus in all contests on the island, ruining his reputation, and causing lifelong enmity between the two.
  • Scrooge also takes the time to introduce them to their grandparents at Castle McDuck, where Della would play a joke on Donald by creating a secret challenge so he'd have to find his blue hat in the catacombs.
  • Then there was the time the 3 of them came upon none other than El Dorado when the kids were about 11. There they discovered the Gilded Man statue, which had turned on its people due to a malfunction. Della, using her small size, crawled inside the golem and tore its gears apart. And while this did stop it, there were rumors that it could return one day to have its vengeance on the destroyer. To be sure to keep this from happening, Scrooge and the others keep it as a trophy in their garage.
  • In the twin's adult years, the adventuring trio get into a battle with a band of pirates led by Captain Peghook. During the fight they get an unexpected visit from Mrs. Beakley^note lost in time, who helps them defeat the pirates. Captain Peghook swears that his ghost will not pass on until he gets Scrooge's head.

Domestic Activities

• Della did many things in her youth, writing them down in her journal. While she accomplished many things before ever hitting her teenage years, one thing she couldn't solve was the mystery of the Golden Armory of her ancestor (on Quackmore's side) Cornelius Coot.
• A Christmas to remember
  • One Christmas in their teenage years, Donald is playing the guitar some, when a stranger claiming to be his distant relative Bluey comes up to him looking for Della. She's out camping in the woods behind the mansion, but when they go to look for her, they find a strange trail and signs of unusual activity from her. As if she was planning for someone else, but something else was after her.
  • The two then run into a Wendigo, and accidentally get caught by Della's net trap. After realizing why Della is so mad at him for leaving her alone on Christmas Eve, the three then take on the Wendigo together and defeat him.
    • Donald swears to always celebrate Christmas with his family from then on, and the twins quickly figure out that "Bluey" is actually from the future. The boy (Della's future son Dewey) tries to warn them about a grim future, but the others insist not to know so as not to accidentally cause a bad future. After the two head inside, Dewey is saved from the recovering Wendigo by his version of Scrooge. Discovering it was actually the Ghost of Christmas Past gone obsessed to find Scrooge, Dewey, Scrooge and the other Ghosts return to years in the future.
    • Della and Donald give each other Christmas gifts: A blue scarf and a Christmas sweater. They're too big for them right now, but they resolve to wear them until they grow into them (which they do).
• Growing up, Della becomes obsessed with learning to fly, thus becoming a trained pilot. Donald, meanwhile, comes to appreciate the water, and becomes a certified sailor.
  • Della also becomes a Junior Woodchuck, completing certifications time after time in robotics, standard regulations, welding, survival skills and all the other standard parts of the organization. Donald also joins the organization, but his bad luck and his negative attitude towards nature get him kicked out.
  • Kit Cloudkicker and Molly Cunningham both went to the same flying school as Della did. Molly was an excellent student, whereas Kit struggled with learning to fly a plane. Nevertheless, Kit inherited Higher-for-Hire from Baloo after his retirement, whereas Molly went her own way, becoming a flying stuntswoman under the alias Danger Woman.
• Donald takes up music briefly in college, joining a band with one Panchito Pistoles and Jose Carioca. They were The Three Caballeros.
• The two also get to know their cousins on their father's side.
  • One is Gladstone Gander, an extremely lucky cousin who keeps finding 20 dollars on the street and isn't particularly modest about it.
  • The other is Fethry Duck, an unlucky and absentminded duck who nonetheless is a dedicated Junior Woodchuck with a friendly demeanor.

The Spear of Selene

• Unfortunately, after years of traveling the world looking for treasure, the Duck/McDuck clan hit a snag: they'd run out of obvious places to go see. So, Della thought of a new idea: build a rocket ship, and begin exploring space.
• There was a new development in their family life though. Della had recently laid 3 eggs, and was expecting children soon. She intended to name them Jet, Turbo and Rebel in order of who hatched first.
  • During this time, Donald once juggled the eggs for his friends, and accidentally dropped one. After this, Panchito and Jose go off to make new careers of themselves as travelers and musicians.
  • Donald doesn't think that this is a good time to go gallivanting about in space until the kids hatch. Della disagrees. Scrooge, crafty as always, decides to compromise: he built a rocket dubbed The Spear of Selene based off of Della's design. He plans on making it a surprise present for Della as soon as his grandnephews hatched.
  • But then, disaster! Bradford leaks information about the Spear to Della, who takes it for a test ride. Running into a cosmic storm just out of orbit, Scrooge tries to get Della to abort, but her hubris pushes her to keep going. Scrooge, trying to make the best of things, tries to guide her through the storm, but the rocket malfunctions, and Scrooge loses contact with Della.
    • Furious at Scrooge keeping this secret and losing his sister, Donald angrily breaks off contact with Scrooge, taking the eggs with him, and refusing any more support from him.
    • Della meanwhile crashes on the moon, surviving thanks to a supply of emergency Oxy-Chew to keep breathing. However, her left leg is pinned in the crash, and after some frustration, escapes the debris, but is forced to amputate her leg at the knee. To survive physically, she builds a mechanical leg out of rocket parts, and resolves to return home come hell or high water.

The 10 years of separation

One Month After Crash

• Della's 3 eggs hatch at last. Rather than use the names she chose, Donald names the 3 boys Hubert, Dewford and Llewellyn. However, since these names are a mouthful, they get the nicknames of Huey, Dewey and Louie.
  • Recognizing the danger his temper could pose to his boys, Donald begins seeing Jones the therapist to better manage his anger to be protective rather than abusive.

Two Months After Crash

• Della begins sending transmissions to Earth with her semi-functioning communications, though not a single one would reach Earth. She then tries leaping back to Earth, but the moon gravity keeps her grounded.

One year After Crash

• Scrooge begins sending fleets of ships into space to search for the Spear. Of course, due to the expensive fuel of gold along with training and building the rockets, this causes great financial strain on the company. Taking personal responsibility for this, Scrooge begins using the treasure from the money bin to pay for these expenses, slowly depleting his earnings to find his niece.
  • One such ship briefly passes by Della's position on the moon, but due to a dust storm she was creating fighting the moon mite, they write off the space as "no visible sign of life" to Della's despair.

9 years, 11 months After Crash

• Scrooge sets out with the kids, Beakley and Launchpad to find the Maltese Falcon in his plane "The Sunchaser". Unfortunately, due to his own inexperience at flying, they end up stuck on a mountain peak precariously perched just as the kids are about to discover the truth of the Spear of Selene.
  • Following a long and frustrating day, Dewey confronts Scrooge directly about the spear, and Scrooge tells them just about everything leading up to Della's disappearance. Saddened and then angry, the boys lash out at Scrooge, thinking him responsible for them losing their mom. Their arguing following this leads to the plane falling down, but landing mostly intact.

• Reaching the mansion, Magica pretends to be Lena, and gets close to Scrooge. Flummoxed by his lack of fire after his family left him, Magica toughens him up enough to feel self satisfied enough to grab hold of his dime just as the lunar eclipse begins. With this bringing her powers toward maximum strength, Magica's consciousness enters the dime, allowing her body to escape the dime once again, then transforming Lena's amulet into her magic staff.
  • While Magica is building her powers slightly, Lena and Scrooge talk. After hearing from Lena how much she wishes she had the love Scrooge truly shared with his family, Scrooge promises to bring Lena alongside if she helps. However, following this, Magica "reabsorbs" Lena back into herself, and imprisons Scrooge in his own dime.

• Donald gets his vocal chords fixed with Gyro's "Barksian Modulator" and forms a 4 pronged plan: while He, Beakley, Launchpad and the scientists attack the bin from air, sea and land, he tries to keep the kids safe so they could then sneak into the bin via the flooded lab.
  • During their search, the 4 ducklings discover the truth of Lena's origin, and how Magica plans to keep Scrooge imprisoned.
• In the land assault, Gyro is incapacitated, but thankfully Fenton arrives on foot to help, turning Lil' Bulb to a beam splitter for his ray gun to fight the shadows.
  • The plane is meanwhile caught, unable to reach Magica.
  • On sea, Donald sneaks in, but unfortunately Beakley is unable to protect the boat and it sinks. Again.
• Finally reaching Magica herself, the children attack with distractions and force. When Webby and Dewey are cornered, Webby's love of Lena allows Lena to escape Magica, holding her off until she's seemingly vaporized. Enraged, Webby causes Magica to lose the dime, and when she blasts Dewey holding it, it breaks her spell, allowing Scrooge to escape.
  • Making quick work of her, Scrooge disarms Magica. Donald then cracks the staff on his head, releasing its power and the shadows, leaving Magica powerless, and forced to flee after Launchpad lands on her with his body.
• Webby reattaches the friendship bracelet Lena made for her, and in doing so, allows Lena to link with Webby's shadow from the shadow realm. She will follow her around unseen for weeks to come.

• When Louie decides to give up on Louie Inc. after being hit with a minor obstacle in working to patent a car bed, Scrooge recounts the tale of his Old West time to get him back on his feet.

Upon learning about Doofus's exclusive party, Beaks pretends that B.O.Y.D. is his son and enters the party, but Louie figures out that B.O.Y.D. is actually a robot. Unfortunately, this makes B.O.Y.D. go on a rampage until Louie manages to stop him.

Though highly resistant for a while, eventually Scrooge's own real illness catches up to him, forcing him to rest, and then consult with the family about these unusual goings on.

• On a sleepover anniversary of Lena first meeting Webby, their sleep eventually leads to a shared lucid dream where Magica tries attacking Lena in her sleep to get her magic back.
  • Fighting her off in their sleep and then seeing the real Magica as a disheveled hobo forced to use technology for her schemes, Lena swears her off as family, more secure in her goodness.

Louie's Triumph

• Stealing the time tub, Louie steals lost treasures from across history to fast charge Louie Inc. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand time travel properly, and this causes a "Timephoon" that nearly unravels the space/time continuum.
  • Bubba Duck makes friends with the Duck family after being sent forward in time, confounding Huey as he's not acting like a "real" cave duck.
    • After seeing how cool Bubba is, Huey submits his observations to the Junior Woodchucks, but it's rejected as "unrealistic".
  • Along with Bubba, many subjects from throughout history ends up at the mansion by the Timephoon. Including a young Triceratops, called "Tootsie" by Huey, that goes on a rampage out of panic over being in unfamiliar surroundings.
  • When the storm gets to its worst, the ducks are scattered across time, and Louie has to finally able to send everything and everyone back. However, traumatized and angry at seeing her family almost lost, Della grounds Louie and shuts down Louie Inc. as punishment.
• Taking a vacation at the Big Rock Candy Mountain, Scrooge relaxes with a majority of his family about to win his bet with Glomgold. Louie though is kept at the mansion due to still being grounded.
  • Little did they know that Glomgold decided on a desperate last scheme to save his company: a "family" alliance with other villains to finally beat Scrooge and get his company. So, he recruits Ma Beagle and the main 3 Beagle Boys, Mark Beaks, Don Karnage and Magica (reluctantly) to finally defeat the McDucks.
    • They first attack the manor, not knowing that Scrooge was out of town, but on doing so, Louie finds out that Glomgold plans to kill his family. Thinking quickly, he offers an alternate solution.
    • Arriving at the Money Bin for his final confrontation, Glomgold's family actually manages to corner Scrooge's, but Louie then makes his play. He allowed the villains to pool their money to win the bet, but because Glomgold didn't put his real name (Duke Baloney) on the contract, Louie uses this legal loophole to steal Glomgold Industries and McDuck Enterprises for himself. Meanwhile, the rest of the villains furiously turn on Glomgold for attempting to steal their riches.
• Louie announces to Scrooge his intention to keep both companies as the richest duck in the world, but Scrooge laughs at him saying that he won't last long with all the hard work it would involve, and leaves him to it.
  • Louie makes some foolish business choices to reunite the Ottoman Brothers for an expensive emerald ottoman, then allows the vultures to turn off the magic for the Bombie's prison, which he promptly starts trashing to resume its hunt for the richest (and most arrogant) duck in the world.
    • Alerted by the escape, Louie is attacked by the Bombie with his "staff", and barely escapes, though loses defense satellites in the process. Still, the Bombie chases on. Infuriated by Louie's lack of smarts or humility, and having to deal with "reckless thrill-seekers" (Scrooge), "Madmen with the minds of children" (Glomgold) and actual children (Louie), Zan Owlson chews everyone out and gives her 2 week notice right there.
    • Accidentally getting thrown out of the Sunchaser with the Bombie, Louie runs into Scrooge in the streets and is finally fenced in with the Bombie. Out of options, Louie finally confesses that he shouldn't be the richest duck in the world, halting the attack, as he realizes what the secret to breaking the curse is: humility. The one thing a rich person needs to earn. So, shining the Bombie's shoes together, Louie and Scrooge break the curse together.
  • Meanwhile, Della fails to connect with Penny and realizes they might never have been friends, until she receives a transmission from Penumbra at the last minute: Lunaris is ready to move. And he's coming for the family.

The Moonvasion

• Lunaris launches his invasion. Thanks to years of preparation and the blind loyalty of his people, he takes out 3 of Scrooge's stationary defenses, lands his ships all over the world, and locks down Duckburg, capturing numerous civilians.
  • Realizing they need help (and safety for the children), Scrooge sends Della off with the triplets and Webby to find help around the world. He meanwhile sends out a team of Lil' Bulbs to get help from any and all associates of the family.
    • Eventually he gathers Launchpad, Beakley, the Ottoman brothers, Manny, Gizmoduck, Mama Cabrera, Mrs. Quackfaster, Gyro, Duckworth, Gabby Mcstabberson, Lena, Violet, and Darkwing Duck (going into the field for the first time) at the Money Bin for planning.
    • Soon, a strategy is settled on: while the bulk of their forces hold the Moonlanders down, Scrooge will infiltrate his mansion where Lunaris seems to be residing, and take him down.
• Playing the bagpipes, Scrooge launches his assault. Using cunning, teamwork, and force, Scrooge does indeed reach his office, but it's all for naught. Lunaris was never at the mansion. Instead, he was in his flagship, now landing on Earth, and using its immense propulsion to force Earth to orbit the moon artificially.
• Meanwhile, the search for help doesn't bear much fruit. Egypt is under attack already, and the gods at Ithaquack are forbidden to help due to Zeus's spite. Ultimately, Louie realizes that they're not running for help: they're running away from it all. Della's shock and fear of the situation turned her to protecting them rather than helping the world. Unfortunately, they're shot down on a remote island in the middle of nowhere.
  • Only, it's also the island Donald ended up on. After a tearful reunion and finding Donald went slightly insane by talking to a melon, Della still just wants to stay on the island safe, but then has a minor psychotic break realizing they've gotten stuck in a situation just like her experiences on the moon.
    • Louie has a heart to heart with her, showing how much they take their courage and love from her, and bringing her onboard to return and fight.
    • Just at that moment, her cousins Gladstone and Fethry show up, riding on Mitzy the giant krill and eating the melon Della had kicked away. Though slightly disturbed by the eating, the 6 strandees join with the other 3, and rush back to Duckburg to help save the world.
• Scrooge's mini army is gradually picked off one by one, leaving only him, Beakley, Launchpad and Manny in a slowly freezing Duckburg. Stymied mentally, Scrooge is mentally paralyzed without a plan until Glomgold comes in with his own silly scheme using a slingshot, sharks in parkas, and Scrooge dressing as Santa Claus.
  • Unexpectedly, this unconventional plan does make some headway, though Lunaris is personally too strong to fully overcome. Thankfully, the arrival of the cousins and kids allow for them to finally get the ship off balance and stop it pushing Earth.
    • Overcome with wrath, Lunaris then decides to just crash his ship into the Earth and destroy it. In response, Scrooge takes his immediate family in another Spear to battle.
    • Though when Lunaris traps them and it all seems hopeless, Penumbra comes in and crashes her ship into Lunaris's engines, saving the family and the Earth. Storkules and Selene then mop things up by putting Earth back into its proper orbit and locking Lunaris into orbit as a secondary moon for the Earth.
• Gathering outside the manor, the expanded McDuck family celebrate with employees, friends and family.
  • But meanwhile, F.O.W.L decides that this latest adventure was too far, and almost losing the world is enough to begin acting against the family. And so, assembling their agents, High Command says it's time to give the McDucks their last adventure.

Season 3

The Mysteries of Isabella Finch

• Shortly after the Moonvasion, the Drake parents decide to enroll their children, Doofus and B.O.Y.D. as Junior Woodchucks.
• At the Junior Woodchuck graduation ceremony, Scoutmaster Launchpad announces that both Violet and Huey have qualified to become Senior Woodchuck. But as per their sacred traditions, they must then compete with each other on an obstacle course using all their knowledge to gain that honor.
  • Running their course with an assortment of natural and supernatural obstacles, both scouts make their way forward, though Violet seems to demonstrate perhaps a greater proficiency.
    • Overcome with anxiety and frustration, Huey starts making several mistakes getting lost, forgetting tactics, willfully refusing to follow the JW code to get a personal advantage. After crossing a volcano, Violet willingly saves Huey's life when his tightrope bridge burns, and shares about her past failures to become a senior woodchuck. While offering to seek a way to make them both seniors, Huey admits that he bent and broke the rules, and needs his own failure badge instead to try again later.
    • Descending to the graduation cavern, Violet is heralded as Senior woodchuck by her adopted sister and dads with the Duck family cheering as well.
  • Meanwhile, Scrooge wants to follow the footsteps of his idol Isabella Finch by following a map her painting is hiding. Caught in a lightning rain, a brightly colored, melodious bird leads them on an alternate route, stealing the map in the process. While at first distressed, Scrooge is shown by his family that going off path is an adventure worth taking.
    • Funnily enough, their path takes them straight to the graduation chamber, where Huey identifies the bird as a Tittertwill which gives good luck and was descended from a pet of Isabella.
    • The bird then leads them straight to Isabella's secret chamber where she had her personal journal. Looking it over, the family decides that a good family activity going forward would be to solve the mysteries that Isabella never did.
    • Little did anyone know that F.O.W.L. was also spying on them for this, and decide to go after those mysteries as well.
• Following Isabella's journal, the family finds a treasure cave of the legendary Collie Baba, containing a magical lamp. Donald makes a wish to have a normal family from the resident of the lamp, Gene the Genie. However, with a little flair, he instead makes their lives a sitcom. Despite this venir of normalcy, Huey's ordered mind refuses to accept it. After some hijinks, the family realize that something is wrong and confront Donald about it, but Donald refuses to use his second wish to undo the first until his friend, Goofy, convinces him otherwise. After escaping the cave of Collie Baba, Donald uses his third wish to get a photo of his family.
• Next, the Duck family searches for the lost city of Mervana, where, according to Isabella's journal, the resident mermaids are in possession of a magical truth-telling harp. They find that the Mervanans have formed a hippie-like underwater society, and after finding the harp, they learn from it that the Mervanan king, Honestus, turned into a terrifying monster. The Ducks defeat Honestus and get him turned back into his humanoid form, and the Mervanans return to the land and try to rebuild their society.
• The following Missing Mystery on the list is the Fountain of the Foreverglades, a magical fountain that grants youth. Unfortunately, two other people beside the Duck family are also after the Fountain: Goldie O'Gilt, who just wants to beat Scrooge to it, and John D. Rockerduck, who survived thanks to cryogenics and now tries to restore his youth. However, they find out that the Fountain is drained, and Ponce de Leon, who initially discovered the Fountain, is now running a hotel nearby where he uses the Fountain's powers to steal other people's youth. A fight ensues, during which Ponce de Leon gets drained of his youth and dies from rapidly aging 500 years. Rockerduck still manages to restore his youth, and runs off with his Frankenstein's Monster valet, Jeeves, whom the Fountain turned into a baby.

New romance for Donald

• Panchito and José come to Duckburg, where they decide to re-form their band, the Three Caballeros. Unfortunately, they cannot get funding for concerts. For a share of the profits, Louie decides to get the Three Caballeros into Emma Glamour's exclusive party and make her put them on her "It List".
  • At the party, the plan runs into complications when they run into Glamour's assistant, the no-nonsense Daisy Duck. Stuck into an elevator together, Donald and Daisy get to know and become mutually attracted to each other, as Daisy, oddly, not only understands Donald's voice but finds it beautiful.
  • Unbeknowst to them, Mark Beaks hires Falcon Graves (again) to pose as a security guard at Glamour's party, who then takes everyone as a hostage, trying to steal Glamour's phone. In the ensuing fight, Donald and Daisy defeat Graves.
  • Although the Three Caballeros do not get on Glamour's "It List" due to Donald's awful singing voice, Donald and Daisy stay in touch with each other.
• Donald invites Daisy to his houseboat for their second date. To quickly clean up, he dumps his garbage into the swimming pool. Unfortunately, this is when Selene and Storkules show up to McDuck Manor, to find a substitute for Zeus, who has been dethroned by the other Greek gods.
  • Selene wants to pick Della as the new leader of the Gods, but Della convinces her to give the kids a chance to try themselves, as they're feeling insecure about themselves after they failed to retrieve the Helmet of Henghis Khan and Scrooge tells them he's considering recruiting new people to his team. However, each of the four kids fail their trials as gods.
  • Meanwhile, Storkules keeps interfering with Donald and Daisy's date and accidentally offending Daisy. To ensure that Daisy falls in love with Donald, Storkules even kidnaps Cupid and tries to shoot Daisy with his arrows, but he ends up sinking the house boat instead. Daisy angrily runs off as Donald wallows in the pool full of garbage. Storkules, feeling that he failed his mission, runs off to the forest crying.
  • Zeus, in an attempt to prove himself worthy of being the King of Gods, convinces Storkules to summon a titan from the underworld. The rampaging titan swallows everyone in his way, until Scrooge tells the kids that he believes in them and does not want to replace them. As Daisy holds the titan at bay, the kids use their godly powers to defeat it and rescue the people it swallowed. Donald and Daisy reconcile and share their first kiss. Zeus, in a last pathetic attempt, grabs his crown and regains his godly powers, sending the titan back to the Underworld, but he trips and falls after it.

Growing up and moving on

• BOYD begins malfunctioning due to Huey unintentionally reawakening Dr. Akita's original imperatives. Bringing BOYD to Gyro, Gyro is at first terrified, then angry, and finally offers to fly them to Tokyolk in order to repair him along with his assistants Lil' Bulb and Fenton.
  • Officer Tezuka tries to arrest Gyro on site, still bitter about the incident 20 years ago, but Lil' Bulb does some grafitti to draw her away. Arriving back at the lab, Gyro accidentally shorts out Lil' bulb on saying that a robot can't feel anything, and in the lull between, Gizmoduck works with Boyd and Huey to catch some thieves, with Fenton inspired that Boyd's combat capabilities could make him a hero like him.
  • Split up in the city, Boyd and Huey just to regular kid things experiencing the local culture, before reuniting with Tezuka, Gyro, Lil Bulb and Fenton, who all have their own suspicions of Boyd by this point.
    • However, at that moment, Akita decides to reengage with Boyd's programming, exiting his bunker, and doing a remote override to turn "2B0" back into a rampaging weapon.
  • Looking through Gyro's readout on Boyd's core programming, Huey discovers the truth behind BOYD's original rampage, causing a great battle to break out between Fenton fighting Boyd and Gyro doing a Slap Fight with his old mentor.
    • Finally overcoming Akita, Gyro manages to break through Boyd's original programming to reintegrate his new shells of knowledge, freeing him to be a "definitely real boy" again.
    • Overcome with relief in fixing My Greatest Failure, Gyro decides to give Fenton a formal promotion in his lab, and BOYD has his name formally changed to Be Only Yourself Dude!
• Scrooge takes the kids over the rainbow to fight Jormundgr. With him getting older, and not trusting Donald and Della to work together, he wants them to be the wrestling defenders of Earth now.
  • Dewey and Webby take on the job, and though Dewey at first is too easily swayed to play to the crowd, Louie manages to help the team get their heads together, and win another round for Midgard to stave off Ragnarok.
• The Moonlanders settle down in Duckburg and try to adjust to Earth life. One of them, Gibbous, even gets a job at Glomgold Industries. Penumbra is unhappy with this status quo and tries to rebuild her spaceship to return to the Moon, but after a day out with Webby and Dewey (where she needs to rescue the two kids from a deadly ferris wheel), she changes her mind.
• On Halloween night, Louie leads the kids to the Hazel House supposedly full of candy taken from kids of the past. They find a vampire, witch, frankenstein and wereduck who initially think of eating them because they didn't have any candy on hand.
  • However, due to stresses put on Launchpad by Della and Scrooge, he runs to the house, causing the monsters a fright, and accidentally being given a reveal that the "curse" he feels is just regular halloween.
    • As a way to celebrate this new equilibrium for all, Scrooge sets up a payed candy "drop in" site to hand out treats at Mcduck Manor for kids and monsters alike.
• Santa returns to the manor for the first time in years, seeking parley and assistance due to a "broken leg". Still angry at him, Scrooge only takes Webby with him, and subverts part of Santa's deliveries by finally beginning the coal delivery service he'd wanted for so long.
  • However, at the last house, Scrooge sees how much a child didn't think about practical concerns for using coal, and just wanted a toy to "warm her heart". Finally understanding St. Nick's perspective, Scrooge has his family split up on the reindeer to ensure they get the delivery together with proper presents, reconciling with Santa at last.
• After an incident with a replicating fuzzball, Scrooge and Louie are summoned to the Karma Court, where Scrooge is accused by his three greatest local enemies (Glomgold, Ma Beagle and Magica) of mistreating them and seeking retribution with Doofus Drake prosecuting.
  • However, with humility, cunning and recognizing all their true characters, Louie and Scrooge both prove his innocence and take responsibility for their actions. Even Doofus decides to drop his vendetta towards Louie due to his apology.

A F.O.W.L Conflict

• Brought over to Funso's by Launchpad and Dewey playing a new VR game, F.O.W.L. panics enough to send Black Heron and Steelbeak out to dumb him up and protect their secret base. However, their intelligence ray plan runs into some snags. Namely, Steelbeak ends up betraying Heron's plans to then turn the ray to make Duckburg so dumb they all die.
  • The other key thing is that Launchpad gets his intelligence boosted, and along with helping some suspiciously familiar intelligent rodents, foils Steelbeak, though at the cost of losing his newfound intelligence to protect Duckburg.
• The Phantom Blot, now a member of F.O.W.L., constructs a magic-absorbing gauntlet with which he intends to destroy all magic. He manages to steal Gladstone Gander's good luck and seeks out Magica De Spell, but before he can absorb the magic from Magica's amulet - that would also destroy Lena -, he is defeated by Lena and her friends Webby and Violet. Unfortunately, Magica also manages to retrieve her amulet and gets her magical powers back.
• In the St. Canard branch of McDuck Enterprises, scientists Thaddeus Waddlemeyer and Taurus Bulba work together on a device named the Ramrod, a machine that can bring and take objects and even people between alternate universes. Unfortunately, Thaddeus suspects that the Ramrod is unstable, but Bulba (who secretly works for F.O.W.L.) throws him into an alternate universe and then covers up the incident, claiming full creative ownership of the Ramrod. However, Thaddeus's granddaughter, Gosalyn, suspects that Bulba is behind her grandfather's disappearance.
  • Some time later, Scrooge and his family go to St. Canard to check out Bulba's invention. Though Scrooge and Louie are very impressed by the Ramrod, Huey suspects something fishy and wants to know more about the scientific principles behind how the Ramrod works, and asks Bulba to show him the Ramrod plans.
  • At the same time, Dewey and Launchpad visit Drake Mallard a.k.a. Darkwing Duck, who now resides in his secret superhero hideout on the Audubon Bay Bridge. They soon find out that Darkwing has no crime to fight due to Mayor Owlson clearing the city of crime. As they go on a night patrol, they spot Gosalyn trying to break in to the McDuck Enterprises laboratory and stop her from stealing the Ramrod key. For the successful action, Darkwing is awarded with St. Canard's city key, but Gosalyn breaks into Darkwing's lair and explains to him that she's trying to bring back her grandfather. Gosalyn, Darwking, Launchpad and Dewey return to Bulba's lab and successfully expose Bulba as a crook — just when Huey figures out that the Ramrod is unstable and dangerous due to using some mystical item called the solego circuit to activate the device.
  • Bulba, infuriated that his plan was foiled, imprisons Scrooge and his nephews, and uses the Ramrod to summon a quartet of supervillains, the Fearsome Four, from the Darkwing Duck TV show's reality. The four villains wreak havoc in St. Canard, and the police, along with Duckburg's resident superhero Gizmoduck, have difficulties fighting them off. Darkwing, Gosalyn and Launchpad attempt to fight the supervillains, also not to avail.
  • F.O.W.L. director Bradford Buzzard arrives to St. Canard to reprimand Bulba for making a spectacle. However, Bulba turns against Bradford and imprisons him just next to the Duck triplets. The triplets help Bradford escape, but he accidentally reveals himself as the director of F.O.W.L.
  • Gosalyn tries to use the Ramrod to bring back Professor Waddlemeyer as Darkwing and Launchpad fight off the Fearsome Four, but as the Ramrod becomes more and more unstable, she gives up and destroys the Ramrod, which sucks the supervillains back to their own reality. Drake asks Gosalyn to become his crime-fighting partner, and Launchpad joins them as their pilot and sidekick for the nights.

All Out War

• After the incident in St. Canard, Bradford begins moving towards the endgame with F.O.W.L., stealing a mecha, and cutting ties with McDuck Enterprises. He sends his agents to steal the Fountain of Youth, the Harp of Mervana, Gene's Lamp, and the Solego Key.
• The McDuck family heads to Istanboar to find the next Missing Mystery on Finch's list, the Split Sword of Swanstantine, before F.O.W.L. can get their hands on it. As Scrooge duels Black Heron, Dewey and Webby race Gandra Dee to get the sword handle from the top of a palace, Louie and Violet visit an underground spice bar where they participate in a contest with Rockerduck to win the crossbar, whereas Huey and Lena get in a brawl with Steelbeak to get the blade. As the Ducks have proven their inner strength, whereas the F.O.W.L. agents did not, the sword deems the former worthy and grants them its magical powers. Unfortunately, however, the agents manage to get what they were really looking for: a single feather from Webby Vanderquack to continue "Project 87".
• The family takes a trip to Castle McDuck, which reappeared early due to the magical mists getting removed by the Phantom Blot. Huey and Louie look for the Blessed Bagpipes of Clan McDuck, another one of the Missing Mysteries, not knowing that the Phantom Blot is also after it. Meanwhile, Dewey and Webby get caught in an inter-generational conflict between Scrooge, his parents, and his sister Matilda. Even the McDuck ancestors get involved in the bickering when the Blessed Bagpipes bring their statues to life. The family manages to team up again when Webby is menaced by the Phantom Blot, saving her and retrieving the Bagpipes.
• Fenton learns about Gandra Dee being a F.O.W.L. agent, but the two continue dating. Even though they're going through the motions of stopping each other for their respective organizations. They start working on a virtual reality space Fenton dubs "Gizmocloud". Gandra plans to quit F.O.W.L. once the Gizmocloud is fully operational as it's a safe space to simulate new inventions.
  • Huey, by accident, discovers the Gizmocloud and Fenton and Gandra's relationship, but upon learning Gandra's backstory, he agrees to keep the secret.
  • Unfortunately, Mark Beaks, whose company is tanking due to his phones catching fire, makes one last attempt to steal Gizmoduck's armor and breaks into Fenton's home. He connects to the Gizmocloud and imprisons Gandra and Fenton. Fortunately, Fenton can send a Morse code message to Huey, who asks Officer Cabrera and Gyro Gearloose for help. They rescue Fenton and Gandra, and the five of them defeat Mark Beaks.
  • Gyro fixes the glitch in the Gizmocloud (which is actually only due to Fenton minimizing the non-operational apps instead of closing them), which is now ready to be shared with the world. Gandra tells Bradford that she's leaving F.O.W.L., but he calls the Eggheads on her and orders them to take her to the Secret Library.
• To find the last of the Missing Mysteries, the Stone of What Was, before F.O.W.L. does, Della, Huey and Dewey contact Kit Cloudkicker in Cape Suzette, who agrees to take them on the island where he lost the Stone. Around the same time, F.O.W.L. hires Don Karnage to find the Stone. After a fight with the Air Pirates, the Ducks manage to deliver the Stone back to Cape Suzette. However, Don Karnage manages to break off a piece of stone and deliver it to F.O.W.L.
  • F.O.W.L. uses the Stone's shard to create two clones of Webby they name "May" and "June". They also use the water from the Fountain of Youth to age them up into pre-teens.
• Also, following Gandra's betrayal, Pepper and Don Karnage are promoted to the inner circle.

The Last Adventure

• On Webby's birthday, the Duck family rents Funso's Fun Zone. They invite Fenton, Gyro, Manny, B.O.Y.D., Launchpad, Drake Mallard, Gosalyn, Lena, Violet, Daisy, Gladstone and Fethry as party guests, with José and Panchito as performers. However, the family secretly plans to raid F.O.W.L.'s secret lair under Funso's, which Huey learned about when he heard Launchpad talking in his sleep.
  • Also, right before this time, Donald makes plans with Daisy to travel the world in an extended time together with his girlfriend. But Fethry blabs about it during the party, creating a bit of friction with Della.
  • Unfortunately, gathering so many "family" members together above one of the headquarters immediately sets off FOWL's concern, and so with their own initiatives prepared, Bradford begins The Last Adventure with Heron Protocols.
  • With Gladstone, Fethry and Daisy cheering them on, The Family enters the base, and begins their raid with twin goals of defeating the organization, and freeing Gandra for Fenton's sake. Unfortunately, Bradford's instincts put them one step ahead, and they evacuate almost the entire base, leaving nothing behind but disappointment....and two moles named May and June.
• Returning to the mansion, Donald starts packing for his trip, distressing Della due to still not feeling like she got enough time with her brother again. But after reassuring her that there will be more time again in the future, she agrees to help him pack.
• Meanwhile, Lena and Gyro determine that May and June are in fact perfect clones of Webby. This sets off an existential crisis for Webigail, who's baffled on why anyone would want to clone her.
  • Despite some strictness from the adults, and skepticism from Lena, Webby eventually starts spending time with May and June. They begin manipulating her to get sloppy with her family to steal the 2 missing mysteries the ducks still have: The Sword of Swanstantine and the Blessed Bagpipes.
  • Not helping is that Bentina refuses to tell what she knows about Webby in the process, and her paranoia causes her to go rogue on a solo mission against FOWL.
    • Eventually, June takes the bounce juice to fight Webby when she finds out, only to instead be knocked out so Webby can take her place to learn more about who she is.
    • Huey though watches them flee, and in a brave move, leaps onto Don Karnage's ship in pursuit, leaving behind his guidebook as a warning to his family that they need help.
• Meanwhile, across the globe, FOWL begins capturing every person connected to Scrooge. This are including but not limited to, The Greek Gods, Kit and Molly, The Rescue Rangers, Pennumbra, Santa, Goldie, The Vikings of Valhalla, Panchito and José. They are taken to FOWL's main HQ: The Library of Alexandria.
  • Also among the captured: The Duckburg trinity of villains. As Glomgold, Ma and the main 3 beagles, and Magica are captured and turned into mindless drones.
• Realizing that 2 of the kids are in the hands of FOWL, Scrooge reforms his impromptu team of Gyro, Manny, Della, Donald, Launchpad, Fenton, Drake and Lil Bulb. But, because of all their strong ties to their friends and family, BOYD, Gosalyn, Lena, Violet, Dewey and Louie also join in as the backup team.
• Launching their attack on the library, the group splinters as each has their own agenda. Unfortunately, this also gives space for everything to go wrong.
  • Gyro finds out about Manny's other life as an "apocalypse bringer" from The Phantom Blot and Pepper, which unfortunately gets Manny turned entirely to stone in the process, and Gyro captured.
  • Fenton, Launchpad and Drake fight with Steelbeak, but he gives himself an intelligence boost, proving more than a match for both superheroes and Launchpad.
  • Scrooge, Donald and Della beat most of the outer defense eggheads, but Rockerduck and a re-aged Jeeves prove a formidable match until Beakley immobilizes Jeeves. Unfortunately, they're all knocked out by Jeeves, May and Black Heron.
  • Huey is captured on arrival, and Bradford tries to persuade him to his side to get the last missing mystery: The Papyrus of Binding. Huey is momentarily convinced, but then runs into Ludwig and Gandra in captivity, revealing the truth about his master plan: to use a modified Solego Circuit to erase anything adventurous from existence; even people.
  • Webby meanwhile makes her way to the main computer to learn more about herself, discovering the science and magic that created May and June. Then, she finds out about "April", but gets prompted to interrogate Beakley before learning everything. Beakley then tells "June" about rescuing a baby from FOWL, and that baby...was Webby.
    • Outraged that her Granny didn't follow through on her promise not to lie, Webby reveals herself, and agrees to follow Bradford to learn what her true purpose is.
    • As the true heir to Scrooge, her presence at a central chest in the library causes the Papyrus of Binding to reappear as Scrooge had directed it, and Bradford taunts Webby that her purpose was to bring down Scrooge.
• But not all hope is lost yet. The kids defeat Don Karnage in a dogfight by playing a game of chicken and crashing the plane safely. Although Lil Bulb and Boyd have to join into one body to ensure continued work. Once inside, they split up, with Dewey and Louie rescuing Huey from immediate danger, but they're then tied up by May and June just like when they first arrived at Mcduck Manor.
  • The others reencounter the Blot and a frozen Manny, so Lena goes into her Super Mode as a defender of magic, getting Manny to reembrace his own power despite his previous vow to be normal.
    • BOYD also repairs the gizmosuit, though the auxiliary kids are then caught like the adults, with only Launchpad fighting Steelbeak and the duckburg villains. Given an inspiring speech by Fenton and Drake on how HE was their inspiration, Launchpad dons the Gizmoduck suit temporarily, freeing the prisoners and sending Steelbeak running.
• Meanwhile, in the main hall, Bradford reveals his own grudge against Scrooge, beginning their Final Battle with Bradford using the Sword of Swanstantine. They fight their way to the roof where the solego circuit is installed. Once there, Bradford makes his declarations of Hatred and Purpose, talking about how he prompted Della to steal the Spear of Selene, and how he plans to eliminate Chaos through erasing it from existence. To prove how serious he is, he kills his clone board members, and Black Heron.
  • This though proves to be a fatal mistake, as May and June are horrified seeing their "mom" killed like that. When Ludwig Von Drake then reveals that they're all based on Scrooge's genetics, Webby gives an impassioned plea about what Family really means, causing her "clone sisters" to understand what's at stake, and getting Ludwig, Gyro, Gandra and the Boys to get to the roof to save Scrooge, Beakley, Della and Donald.
• Scrooge refuses to let Donald be lost when Bradford threatens his existence, so he agrees to sign the Papyrus contract, literally becoming chained and unable to make a move from then on. However, then the freed prisoners arrive to cause a distraction, and beginning a grand conflict against an increasingly Tin Tyrant looking Bradford revealing his more monstrous side. Looking over the contract, Louie doesn't see any easy out, but then they all realize the obvious: Bradford said the contract would force Scrooge to give up Adventure for his Family.

  • Broken free from their brainwashing, the Duckburg Trinity of villains confronts Bradford in outrage for being used in such a way. And as a final punishment for his evil, Magica uses her polymorph curse to make Bradford Buzzard into a literal Vulture. The villains then leave.
• Regathering their family, the Ducks make their way back to Duckburg.
  • Fenton and Gandra reunite and renew their relationship.
  • Darkwing is convinced Launchpad was Gizmoduck all along to Gosalyn's chagrin.
  • Lena and Violet pledge to look after May and June, while Donald considers taking the twins with him and Daisy on their trip.
  • Scrooge begins better treating Webby as his daughter, though Beakley insists he lighten up because of all she's already experienced.
  • Then Launchpad accidentally opens the cargo bay door, sending everyone flying out. Thankfully, they group up with people who can fly or glide so they all land safely. Though the main kids and Scrooge go full Skydiving together on the way down.
