Della Duck (Ducktales 2017)

**Della Duck** is one of the six main protagonists (alongside Scrooge McDuck, Webby Vanderquack, Huey McDuck, Dewey McDuck and Louie McDuck) of the *Ducktales* reboot series.

She is the twin sister of Donald Duck, the niece of Scrooge McDuck, and the mother of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck.

She was voiced by Paget Brewster, who also voiced Elise Pearson in *Dan Vs.*, Emily Prentiss in *Criminal Minds*, Amber Gold in *The Venture Bros.*, and Birdgirl in *Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law*.

## Appearance

Just like Donald mostly wears a sailor shirt, Della was typically sporting a pilot's outfit. In the past, she had short white hair and had both duck flippers. In the present, her left leg was cut off and replaced with a metal one made from rocket parts. During the ending of the season one finale, her hair grew much longer but was later cut back to normal after returning to earth.

## Personality

Despite the fact she was initially missing in action, Della was well-known for being a high-spirited, daring and courageous woman who loved going on adventure with her family. In many adventures, she has been shown to help others, and was a quick thinker that helped to get the family out of trouble, although she has also demonstrated that she can be quite a prankster, as shown in "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!".

Unfortunately, her thrill-seeking personality often blinds her to the dangers and consequences of her rash selfish actions, which later resulted in her becoming lost in space. She is shown to sometimes be more level-headed compared to her brother Donald, due to his hot-headed personality. However, other times, they can switch roles and he can be the more reasonable one, such as when he tried to talk her out of going on an adventure when they had triplets on the way, making a good point that it was *really* not a good time for that.

She's also frequently shown that she has the same short temper that he has, the only difference being that she's generally a bit better at keeping it under control.

## History

### Younger years

#### The First Adventure

Years ago, Donald and Della hatched together, but with Donald just a few minutes before Della.

One day Hortense McDuck, sister of Scrooge McDuck dropped off her kids-his niece and nephew Della and Donald Duck - at Scrooge's Money Bin.

She also left a note asking Scrooge to look after them, as their father Quackmore Duck had suffered an accident involving a firecracker exploding underneath his chair.

None too pleased at being forced to babysit, Scrooge soon found himself contending with another problem, as Beakley contacted him with news that F.O.W.L. was after the Papyrus of Binding. Reluctantly Scrooge set out to locate the artefact, even more reluctantly bringing along his young relatives.

Scrooge chartered a plane to the island where the papyrus was thought to be located, only for the pilots to turn out to be Bradford Buzzard and Black Heron. The two villains ditched the plane, but Della-already brimming with dreams of being a pilot-was able to safely land the aircraft.

The three made their way through the island's hazards, and in spite of himself Scrooge began to bond with Donald and Della, regaling them with the story of his defeat of El Capitán. They then arrived at their destination: the wrecked ship of Captain Yellow Beak, stranded atop a mountain peak. Making their way aboard using Scrooge's high-tech cane, they found the skeletal remains of Yellow Beak, driven to despair and madness after making ill-considered use of the Papyrus' power.

Heron and Bradford then arrived, seeking to claim the Papyrus for themselves, and conflict broke out between the rival teams. When Heron attempted to use the Papyrus to dispose of Scrooge's "sidekicks", the Papyrus' magic refused to act, and Scrooge realized that it was because Donald and Della were not his sidekicks, but family.

Thwarted, Heron instead used the Papyrus to animate Yellow Beak's skeleton, whom Scrooge engaged in battle while Donald and Della occupied Heron. Overcoming the malicious magical minion, Scrooge confronted Bradford, vowing that he would hunt him and his associates down with all his energy. Unfortunately, Bradford used the Papyrus to transport himself away, simultaneously erasing Scrooge and the kids' memories of his presence. Heron soon had Donald and Della at her mercy despite their spunkiness, and demanded that Scrooge surrender the Papyrus. However, Scrooge acted to insure that she would not possess it, instructing the Papyrus to appear only when his rightful heir came to claim it. As it flew away in obedience to his instruction, Heron attempted to snatch it but failed, seemingly falling to her death in the process.

Having renewed his taste for adventure, and moreover gained a taste for adventure alongside Donald and Della, Scrooge became determined to continue. As such, he sought out a CEO to take care of business affairs at McDuck Enterprises, and unwittingly selected his greatest foe, Bradford Buzzard.

#### Meeting her son from the future

In the episode "Last Christmas", we were introduced to a young Della Duck who was trying to capture Santa Claus in the back of McDuck Manor. When one of her traps accidentally ended up capturing her brother Donald and future Dewey instead, she refused to cut them down from the rope until Donald apologized to her for staying in his room all day rather than spending Christmas with her. After Donald apologized, the two were brought back to the ground, where soon after the three of them ended up taking on a giant monster that had been

tracking them down all night. Luckily, they were able to defeat it, and decided to bring it to the front of McDuck Manor to get Scrooge to deal with it. Although Dewey had tried to keep it a secret, Della and Donald were already aware that he was from the future, claiming they were of the Duck Family and had already experienced at least 4 weirder things on Christmas.

Dewey did try to tell his mother, Della about the tragic events that were to come for her in the future, but both her and Donald kept Dewey's beak shut, worrying that what he was about to tell them may end up changing the future in a catastrophic way. They then, went back into the McDuck Manor to get Scrooge, and during that time, the future Scrooge had come back to pick up Dewey.

Later that night, the twin siblings exchange gifts with Della gifting Donald an oversized Christmas sweater, something which Donald still wears every Christmas, and Donald gifting Della a brand new scarf, something which Della still wears to this day.

#### Adventuring with Scrooge and Donald

In the past, she and her twin brother, Donald had accompanied their uncle, Scrooge McDuck on many dangerous adventures up until 10 years prior to "Woo-oo!". Among these adventures were visiting the island of Ithaquack, where she was good friends with the goddess, Selene. She also once fought the Beagle Boys at a bank and strung them up like yo-yos. At a younger age, Della also fought a rampaging robot being called the Gilded Man; She slipped inside the monster's inner structure and broke its vital parts before the robot collapsed. Its painful gasp seemingly meant someone wanted to recreate the Gilded Man to hunt down Della and her family.

One of those adventures took place in a jungle with Della Duck accompanied by her Uncle Scrooge and Donald respectively. The trio came across an ancient city and temple, ruled by the mighty Monteplumage. Scrooge and Della make haste while they enter the temple, while Donald lags behind the group, making pessimistic quips along the way.

While walking down a hallway, Scrooge came across a bird-like artifact in a cage. Della examines the artifact while Scrooge recognizes the bird as the greatest treasure Montemplumage ever owned, the Golden Chicken. Much to the confusion of the group, the chicken came to life and begins to attack the group. Scrooge deduces that the chicken was not Montemplumage's greatest treasure, but actually his greatest nightmare. The chicken begins to grow in size as it continues to assault Donald while Scrooge and Della try to come up with a solution to stop the being.

Scrooge and Della uncover a room covered in ancient symbols. Scrooge was quickly able to learn what the symbols mean, recognizing them as the rules of a game and Della gets to work on trying to solve the puzzle. The two are able to solve the puzzle, but to their confusion and anger, it just seems to drop Cacao Beans from a vent located in a stone heads mouth. However, as Donald quickly realizes, the beans are magical and cause him to shrink after he eats them. Scrooge convinces the chicken to eat the Cacao Beans and causes it to also shrink. After several helpings of the beans, the chicken was small enough to fit in the cage. Sometime later, the trio is enjoying a train ride. Scrooge decides to keep the golden chicken as a keepsake.

#### Near Tragedy in Space

Having traversed the world, Della had hoped to make it possible for her sons (only eggs at the time) to be able to explore the stars. She designed a rocket-ship called the *Spear of Selene* but was opposed in her aspirations by her brother, as he knew that this would leave them without a mother. Wanting to surprise Della, Scrooge had the *Spear of Selene* built, intending to give it to her after the boys were hatched. However, Della discovered its existence earlier than expected and took it for what Scrooge believed was a test flight into Earth's orbit. Unfortunately, she ran into a cosmic storm, and decided to continue flying as Scrooge communicated with her through radio and screen transmission. A bolt of lightning struck the ship and Della was supposedly lost in space while losing contact with Scrooge as well, but was later revealed to have crashed on the Moon. As a result of Della's disappearance, Donald became the guardian of her three sons, and he and Scrooge were estranged for ten years.

Unbeknownst to both Scrooge and Donald, Della's learning of the Spear had been arranged by Bradford Buzzard, as part of his ever-evolving scheme to undermine Scrooge and put an end to adventure throughout the world.

### Castaway and Mystery

#### Life on the Moon

A day after the crash, Della had woken up, only to realize the predicament she was in with not just her ship crashing on the Moon, but that she was running out of the air with her helmet cracked. Luckily, she was able to retrieve Gyro's Oxy-chew invention, which provided her with not just a source of food and water, but oxygen itself although, she was not impressed with the flavour being black liquorice. She also soon came to realize her left leg was crushed and stuck under a heavy type of machinery that fell on her during the crash and desperately tried to free herself from her predicament but to avail.

Seeing no other option, Della was forced to amputate her own leg in order to escape from being crushed by parts of the Spear of Selene slowly crumbling down above her. Afterwards, she created a bionic leg for herself from the parts of the ship.

Two months after the crash, Della attempts to use the ship's transmitter to communicate with Earth and letting her family know that the storm caused most of the ship's systems to fail, but was able to activate a distress beacon in order to hopefully point anyone who could find her in the right direction.

She also explains her current living style, but also attempts to draw out what her newborn sons would look like as she was unable to see them hatch. She leaves a message to them saying that it was only a temporary situation, and would be back before they even knew it. Her recording is then interrupted when a giant bug monster starts attacking her ship but luckily survives.

Nine months after the crash, Della begins to grow weary that no one has come to save her after the transmissions she sent out over the months. She reveals that she brought her Junior Woodchuck Guidebook from when she was young and planned to create ideas from the book for communicating back to earth.

She then attempted to create messages from the scraps of the Spear of Selene for someone to see it on earth but ended in failure after the bug monster returned and destroyed her messages with its corrosive saliva.

One year after the crash, Della makes an attempt to wish her sons a happy first-year birthday with gooey rubble on the moon-shaped like a cake, and a flare as a candle. Soon after, Della spots one of Scrooge's ships looking on the moon for any traces of Della. Della attempts to get close to the rocket, but is blocked once again by the bug monster.

Her attempts to have the ship notice her ends up in failure as her brawl with the monster gets covered in smoke, leading the pilot of the rocket-ship to naively believe it was just a meteor strike on the surface of the moon and departs, leaving Della in tears.

She then decides to create a new plan to fix the Spear of Selene itself,

although her first few attempts fail.

Six years after the crash, Della was successfully able to repair the Spear of Selene and attempts to finally launch it, but the launching sequence failed. Della soon realized that it was because Gyro invented the ship's engine to be powered by gold itself, which unfortunately had run dry.

This leads Della to embark on a journey to find gold on the moon, believing that if there was any, she would find it.

Ten years after the crash, Della believed she had searched every spot on the moon for gold, only to turn up with nothing, angering her and blaming Scrooge for not leaving any spare gold to use in case the engine ran out.

#### After Della's Disappearance

After discovering a portrait of Della adventuring alongside Scrooge and Donald at McDuck Manor, Dewey set out to find what had truly become of his mother, assisted by Webby Vanderquack. In "The Great Dime Chase!" the two discovered a note from Della to Scrooge, in which she apologized for taking the *Spear of Selene*. This was among various other records of Della that had been collected and stored in a secret area of the archives in Scrooge's Money Bin.

In "The Spear of Selene!", Dewey and Webby cause the Sunchaser to crash-land on

Ithaquack, believing the *Spear* to be an artifact associated with Selene. However, upon encountering Selene, they learn she had never heard of it. She did, however, allay Dewey's fears about Della's character.

In "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!", the triplets discovered a note left by Della for Donald in Castle McDuck. Eventually, Dewey admitted that he had been researching their mother to his brothers, and they resolved to solve the mystery together.

In "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!", the boys and Webby attempted to piece together shredded documents from the time of Della's disappearance, which was around the time the triplets were born. Eventually, Dewey confronted Scrooge, who admitted the circumstances behind Della's disappearance, which he know so far.

Unfortunately, the shocked and angry triplets and their friends were quick to accuse Scrooge of recklessness and refused to believe Scrooge's claims that he had done everything he could to try and find Della after she disappeared.

#### Escape

Ten years after the crash in "What Ever Happened to Della Duck?!" and prior to the events of "The Shadow War!", Della began to get frustrated after having been away from her family for so long, as well as chewing the same gum during that time and eventually leading her to break a tooth.

However, she soon realized that the tooth itself was made out of pure gold, leading her to believe that the times Uncle Scrooge took her to the dentist was to make sure she always had a little bit of gold on her at all times. This brings hope into Della once more after believing she can use that tooth as fuel for her rocketship's engine, knowing that it runs on gold.

Soon after, however, the bug monster returns and began taking apart Della's ship once more. Della attempted to flee from the monster after realizing it was after her gold tooth but was knocked down and about to be killed until bolts of electricity were shot at the bug monster, causing it to flee.

Della then met two aliens by the names of Penumbra and Lunaris who were of a race known as Moonlanders that inhabited the moon. They then move on to the undergrounds of the moon where the bug monster had also taken Della's ship with it.

They eventually run into the bug monster and try to fight it off, only for the monster to spit acid onto Della's ship, seemingly to the point where it can no longer function.

This infuriated Della, which lead her run in and fight the bug monster hands-on, only to be interrupted by the sounds of squealing coming from inside the ship.

Della then came to understand that the squealing sounds was the bug monster's baby, and was only attacking them in order to find proper metal to feed her and her baby.

This lead Della to willingly give her golden tooth to the mother, knowing that a mother would do anything for the sake of her kid.

Even so, the baby was refusing the golden tooth their mother was trying to offer.

Della then tried to cheer the baby up by singing a lullaby she used to sing to her boys before they hatched.

The baby then cheered up and was able to eat the golden tooth, with Della also giving the mother and her baby the metal weapons Penumbra and Lunaris used to attack them, for extra nourishment. The mother and her baby then leave them peacefully, like them and Della waves goodbye to one another before moving deeper underground.

Lunaris praised Della for staving off the Moon Mites with words. However, Della seemed to resign herself to her fate fearing she would never make it home.

However, Lunaris offered her home within the Moon, saying that even though she can't get back to her own home, she can create a new one where they stand.

This brings Della to the discovery of an entire civilization of the Moonlander race, as they had kept themselves hidden on the moon using a hologram in order for no one on planet earth to bother them.

This brings Della to be overcome with joy after realizing that their main resource on the planet is gold, giving her further hope that she can still be able to fix her ship again and return back to earth and her family. At the end of the "The Shadow War!", it is revealed Della managed to get a TV connection to see her sons for the first time when they appeared alongside Scrooge, Webby, Mrs. Beakley, and Launchpad on the news after their success on stopping Magica and her shadow army.

In "Last Christmas!", Della is seen back on the Moon looking at an old family photo she had kept with her ever since she crashed on the moon. She wished her family a Merry Christmas from afar and hoped she would be seeing them again soon.

The screen fades to black as Della is seen working on something from a station she had created for herself from the parts of The Spear of Selene.}}

### Returning home

#### Back to the family

In "The Golden Spear!", for days, Della is bringing gold to the Spear of Selene and begins to weld it while almost falling asleep on the job. Lunaris gives her a place in Penumbra's home so Della can work on her rocket in the city.

Remembering when she used to bunk with Donald back home, Della works on being friends with Penumbra who seems irked by her presence.

While working, Della gains the help of other Moonlanders such as Gibbous and Zenith as she tells them of past adventures she had on Earth.

While Della says the Earth and the Moon can be great together, Penumbra nearly takes a shot at her. Della also tells of the wonders of Earth that she hopes to venture on with her family back home. After Della tests the rocket to see if it functions, it does and Penumbra jealously says for her people to try and explore Earth with her.

At first, Della feels it impossible as the ship is big enough for one crew. She then encourages the people to come to Earth with her. Della later promises she can protect the Moonlanders during their stay on Earth.

Still furious, Penumbra decides to solemnly activate the emergency launch and tells Della to get home to her family in Duckburg.

Lunaris assures that with the owner's manual, he can build more copies of the Spear of Selene for the Moonlanders to follow.

Della makes it back home to Duckburg at top speed and arrives at the outer grounds of McDuck Manor, never noticing her rocket has been launched again, only this time by Donald, who saw it and went inside to look for her, but accidentally activated it and ended up on the Moon himself.

In "Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!", Della finally arrives home at McDuck Manor, but before entering to meet her family again; especially, her own sons, Della tries practicing first impressions.

Just as Scrooge and the children are about to embark on a new treasure hunting adventure, they come face-to-face with a highly unexpected event in their path: Della Duck standing right at the front door, failing with the first impression again in front of everyone.

Though shocked, Scrooge is amazed and overjoyed to have his long-lost niece back as he quickly embraces her in his arms after she says hello to her uncle. When Scrooge asks her about where she has been, she replies to the Moon.

Knowing he has already searched there, Scrooge points the fact to Della, who, in return, gets into an argument with her uncle about him not trying hard enough and the dangers she faced including rebuilding the rocket with her tooth.

Nevertheless, the two reconcile as Della states that she missed her uncle's alliterations until Scrooge discovers her robotic prosthetic leg replacing the one she lost in the crash. Though sad and worried, Scrooge is impressed by her robot mechanic ingenuity.

Then, Della finally enters the mansion to meet her boys face-to-face for the very first time.

After Scrooge introduces the boys to their very own mother, Dewey becomes the first to embrace her.

Having learned that her kids have different names, she appears slightly confused and disappointed that her brother, Donald didn't use the names she had in mind for them: Jet, Turbo, and Rebel.

Later, Huey approaches Della and asks her questions, which she answers without hesitation while impressing him with her own Junior Woodchuck knowledge.

After Huey embraces his mother, Louie becomes a bit skeptic and somewhat scared; thinking that this event could be a trick, a curse from Magica, or a parallel universe until he finally learns to accept the truth and embrace his mother as well while bursting into tears.

Then, all triplets come for a group hug, which makes Webby cry with joy.

Later, Della enjoys a multiple line of home-cooked meals after only chewing on Oxy-Chew for so long. After finishing her meal, Della is surprised to find out that Mrs. Beakley is the new housekeeper now since Duckworth's passing despite the butler making a minor ghostly appearance.

The triplets overwhelm Della with multiple questions while Webby introduces herself to her, but Scrooge suggests they let Della rest after such a hard venture. However, Della states that she can't rest when there is so much lost time to make up for her boys.

After learning about Donald's "vacation", Della kneels before her boys and apologizes to them for all the past mistakes she had committed from getting into the rocket to missing their first steps and potty-training, letting them know that she never meant to leave them. She also asks for their forgiveness and acceptance when she tells them how she fought every day to make it back to this family for ten years and how she intends to fight to be a part of their lives every day. The boys accept Della as their mother despite Louie's skepticism.

Della vows to try the best she can to be the best mom that her boys deserve to have starting tonight.

So, Della begins baking cakes in a rather awkward way in order to make up for all the life achievements and holidays she missed in one night. After the boys minus Louie enjoy their cakes and their mother's puns, Della presents them with a fireworks cake loaded with fizzy rocks, which was actually claimed unsafe by the government to eat at some point. However, Dewey takes a bite but ends up with a stomachache.

After Della brings her sick but otherwise, happy son to bed, Della tries to make him feel better with a bedtime story. However, her choice of a story: The Princess and the Peacock proves to be a bit babyish, as pointed out by Louie since they are all grown-up now. Despite her sons' encouragements, Della decides to tell them a real-life grown-up adventure story starring her at their age and her battle against the android known as the Gilded Man at El Dorado, which she and her family stuffed in the garage.

But the story proves to be a bit too scary for them when they find it hard to sleep afterwards.

The next morning, after a decent haircut and complete make-over, Della wakes her sons up with one of her loud celebration horns. Della reveals she hid a few horns in a secret stash inside an armour away from Scrooge since he didn't want her to have them.

Then, Della proceeds to teach them shield-surfing, which excites and amazes the boys. Because Dewey is still sick, Della prefers if he rests while Huey becomes the first one to learn despite not being able to hear very well from all the noise made by the horns.

After an incident gone wrong, Della feels ashamed and embarrassed despite her sons defending her against Mrs. Beakley's judgement.

Later, Della enters Donald's houseboat where she takes a glance at all of her sons' pictures, adding her own family photo with them.

Della states that Donald did a good job raising the boys for her and that he really earned that vacation (with Donald having finally crash-landed on the Moon). With Della back home, she decides to take over from here until she notices Launchpad in one of the pictures.

When Launchpad comes in to introduce himself, Della gets upset after he tells her that he's a pilot too; naively thinking that Scrooge had replaced her since her disappearance. Upset, Della goes over to confront her uncle until she eavesdrops on a conversation in the dining room concerning her and her recent actions. Though glad that most of her sons defend her against all the results of her actions, she quickly becomes shocked when she learns that her son, Louie is terrified considering he's not used to having a mother despite being happy that she's back.

However, Della becomes even more shocked and heartbroken when she partially hears Scrooge saying that she is not a mother up to a point where she runs away while bursting into tears and crying.

Depressed, in the garage, Della reminisces about the good times she had fighting monsters while complaining about the results of her actions, which have led to Dewey being sick, Huey being injured, and Louie being terrified including the obstacles she had to face to make it back home. When asking herself whom does she have to fight to be a part of this family, she accidentally reactivates the Gilded Man after kicking it in anger.

Wanting revenge on Della and her family for defeating it years ago, the Gilded Man attempts to destroy her first. After temporarily subduing the robot, Della thinks that fighting it and saving her family will prove her worth and that she is a good mom to her kids until Scrooge angrily enters the scene.

Della is upset when she can't find what she's looking for to defeat the robot while Scrooge distracts it until she unwittingly causes the robot to go haywire momentarily by triggering Scrooge's car alarm. When Scrooge and Della hide, they get into a small argument until they find themselves being chased by the Gilded Man.

Making it out of the garage, Della and Scrooge run until the Gilded Man stops to seize the Sword in the Stone to use against them. After the Gilded Man somehow uses the sword, knocks out Mrs. Beakley, and Webby disarms it after trying in vain to crush Della and Scrooge, Della proceeds to try defeating the robot from the inside like she did last time, unaware that she has grown now when she finds herself stuck inside.

Then, the boys use their mother's horn against the Gilded Man just as it is about to crush Scrooge and Webby. Discovering the robot's weakness, Della tells her sons that it hates noise.

After the boys tape all three horns together, Dewey throws them at Della, who uses them to create louder noise with her robotic leg, which causes the robot to go haywire again while crumbling into pieces. Realizing that Louie is about to be crushed by the falling robot, Della tries to get out to save him, but finds herself caught by the robot's debris on her robotic leg. Luckily, Della disables herself from her robotic leg and jumps out to save Louie just in time.

Though the robot's arm partially falls on them, they miraculously survive. Touched by his mother's bravery and sacrificial attempt to keep him safe while risking her life for him, Louie finally accepts Della as his mother as he tearfully thanks and hugs her. Then, the other boys come in to hug their mother.

When Webby asks Della how she got free, Scrooge states that she coped with change and adapted to unforeseen challenges like any good parent would do while giving back her robotic leg. After reattaching her leg, Della admits to her boys that they are not used to having a mother and that she is not used to being one, but promises to figure it out as they go along in time.

After hugging her kids again, Della asks everyone what they want to do, to which they reply with joy about adventuring and treasure hunting. So, they decide to get started. Then, Della states that Donald sure is missing out on some quality family bonding time, when in fact, he finds himself captured by General Lunaris and the misguided Moonlanders on the Moon after chewing on Oxy-Chew.

### The Adventure of Motherhood

#### Journey with Dewey

In "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!", Della is out on an adventure with her Uncle Scrooge and her son, Dewey while flying on the Cloudslayer (formerly known as the Sunchaser) on the way to Boarway. However, Scrooge points out that their trip is more of a business venture than an adventure. Della and Dewey appear excited when they learn from Scrooge that they are on their way to the Doomsday Vault until he reveals that it's actually a sterile seed depository built and formerly owned by the late Ludwig Von Drake, now owned by his children: Corvus, Anya, and Klara, in case of an apocalypse. However, due to the damage caused by melting permafrost, Scrooge intends to convince the owners to hire his company to fix it.

After Della makes a rough and wild landing without crashing the plane, the three come face-to-face with Flintheart Glomgold having arrived to seal the deal as well.

During Scrooge's presentation on how he intends to keep the seeds safe, Della and Dewey become even more excited when they learn that the vault harbors golden seeds of the Fabled Money Tree of Oramorus. When they find out that Scrooge intends to lock them up for safety, they are disappointed, but decide to get a head start to take a good look at the money tree seeds anyway before Scrooge does otherwise. Seeing as to how her son thinks like her and is running toward adventure, Della states how proud she is for her son's love for adventure and then, challenges him to a race to the Cloudslayer.

After singing and listening to Powerline's "Stand Out" song on the plane's radio from an album case while flying straight to the vault, Della proceeds to ruffle Dewey's hair and kiss him. Then, she reveals that all she ever thought about was teaching her kids how to adventure during her times on the Moon (including avoiding horrifying Moon monsters), but clearly states that Dewey is already a natural at everything.

When Dewey refers to himself as a co-pilot, Della joyfully encourages him to take the stick and fly the plane instead as she refers to him as pilot material. Though Scrooge won't allow Dewey to do anything, Della tells him that he's her kid and believes he can do anything; much to Dewey's joy when he refers to his mother as the best. When Dewey has a hard time learning how to fly, Della comes over and kindly teaches him a few tricks. At first, all seems to be going well until Dewey accidentally crashes the plane into a cave. Though Dewey apologizes, Della couldn't be more proud of her son than she already is when she considers his first try perfect and hugs him. Then, Della asks him if he wants to exit the cave through the easy tunnel or the "fun" one, to which Dewey chooses the second option.

After having fun sliding through the cave's dangerous tunnel, they finally make it to the vault. Della stops Dewey from getting closer to the broken bridge and then, they jump over it.

Once inside, Della accidentally triggers the vault's security system, which keeps them trapped inside. Then, Della and Dewey listen to a recording made by Ludwig Von Drake on how to pass through the doors.

When the first door won't open due to the color code system being frozen solid, Della partially shows off her anger. When Dewey notices an air vent, Della decides to send Dewey inside so as to let her in from the next room; given his size. Once Dewey is in the next room, Della instructs him not to touch some panel or trigger, but it's too late. Then, the roof of the room comes down on Della as she tries to hold it back with her feet in vain and Dewey is having a hard time figuring out which wire to pick and disable despite his mother's encouragement. Luckily, Dewey manages to override the system with his sweat and is overjoyed to find his mother still alive and well. Della cheers for her son's "strategy" and "achievement" and they proceed further to the vault.

Once inside the vault, Della uses the computer to locate the drawer with the money seeds inside and the giant claw arm to retrieve them, but it malfunctions; much to her frustration and anger. Just as she is about to reluctantly give up on her first adventure with one of her sons, Della notices Dewey climbing on the claw and then, jumping straight on one of the drawers while the claw falls and breaks one of the glass containers containing growth serum. Knowing this could be dangerous, Della tries to talk Dewey out of it, but at the same time, shows slight confidence that he can do it as she allowed him to believe before. When Dewey loses his grip and slides down fast, Della is shocked until he finally gets a grip again and makes it to the right drawer. Unfortunately, after opening the drawer, Dewey accidentally drops the seeds and they begin to grow at an enormous rate once in contact with the spilled growth serum.

Later, Scrooge (shackled to Glomgold) arrives and realizes what Della and Dewey were up to. Then, Della tells Dewey to get some momentum going and swing himself out onto the nearest branch as she encourages him that he can do it. Unfortunately, Dewey can't do it and suddenly loses his grip again and falls.

Luckily, Della arrives just in time to save him from falling to his death.

As the Money Tree continues to grow, the ceiling begins to crumble and some heavy debris falls their way as they hold onto the claw. They land between Scrooge and Glomgold's shackles, thus, freeing Scrooge, only to get reprimanded and scolded at by him for all the trouble they've caused as a result of their actions. When Scrooge angrily asks Della if she even gave it a thought about how they were going to get out of this mess, Della, using the skills she learnt on the Moon, suggests they jump and slide down on the growing Money Tree with Glomgold following ahead.

After making it safely on the ground, Della shows them the way out; much to Scrooge's astonishment and confusion, considering she paid attention to her uncle's presentation with a map since she had been paying attention to Exit strategies after all these years she was stuck in space. Once they are all out, Della comes to Dewey, whom she notices is facing the ground and crying.

When Dewey tearfully apologizes to his mother for supposedly letting her down and not being the adventurer she hoped he would be, Della kindly promises her son that she will always believe he can do anything and assures him that he never has to prove anything to her. Then, the two hug each other with joy.

When Scrooge finds himself unable to fix this mess, Glomgold gloats at him until Della pushes him aside and suggests she may have a way out of this mess. Weeks later, having learned how to weld gold on the Moon, Della uses the gold from the Money Tree to rebuild the vault with success, thus, saving her grateful uncle millions in construction costs. When Dewey shows and accidentally drops a few money seeds they harvested on the floor, he decides it's best he let his mother put them back for safety instead.

#### Gaming with Huey

In "Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake!", while Louie is off scheming with Goldie at Doofus' birthday party, Della and Huey are having fun playing the computer game *Legends of Legend Quest Dereznaroth* in the T.V. room. Della is amazed that this computer game is still around, revealing she used to play it all night long while Scrooge and Donald went to sleep after an adventure every time.

Entering the game, Della appears as a tall warrior wearing a science-fiction gizmo uniform and armed with a laser cannon on her right hand and capable of creating a sword whenever a battle occurs. However, Della later seems confused when she finds Huey as a farmer farming as he creates a force-field around them to defend his crops, which he considers his "comfort zone". Wanting to go out on an epic adventure with another one of her sons while bonding, Della encourages Huey to join her on a quest, only to be reduced to helping Huey keeping his crops safe by destroying groundhoppers trying to destroy it using her laser cannon arm and collecting gold coins, which earned him 3 XP each.

Later while watering the plants, Della sees a checkpoint outside the force-field, which would allow Huey to cash in all the XP points he earns from bashing groundhoppers, level up, and really start playing this game, but Huey declines as he fears of dying and losing all his XP. Looking at the score, Della states that Huey could be the "Duke of Destruction" despite the risk. However, when Launchpad, has also entered the game, is seen riding a dragon, Della sees this as an opportunity to step outside and start playing the game for real, but so as not to disappoint her son, Della chooses to stay with him. Nevertheless, understanding his mother's desires despite finding it too risky, Huey allows Della to leave the force-field and join Launchpad in battling the monster, which she destroys with her laser cannon arm, and then, joins him at the checkpoint to level up and proceed to the next level after collecting some souvenirs from the battle.

Della is later seen battling cyborg ogres and collecting more souvenirs from each battle while Huey waits for his crops to grow after tending it. However, Della later appears excited when she learns that Huey is more than willing to step outside of his comfort zone and head to the checkpoint due to being bored since she sees this as a perfect opportunity to actually bond with her next son at last as they go out to face danger on their quest, telling him that every journey begins with a single step. But as soon as Huey brings the force-field down on his crops, a giant flying tentacled monster with numerous eyes appears and destroys his crops; much to his horror and Della's confusion.

Seeing how much the crops meant to him, Della chooses to help her son destroy the monster with her cannon, but the monster proves to powerful to handle even for her when she finds herself within its clutches. To save his mom, Huey heads to the checkpoint where he begins to level up; much to her amazement when she notices his power level is "over 9,000".

Having been powered up, Della is rescued by Huey as she watches him continuing to battle the monster, glad to see him out of his comfort zone.

However, realizing how Huey is overreacting and has gone wild with a vengeance and overboard even after having finally destroyed the monster, Della tries to pull him out of the game and calm him down as she states that he is "going in too deep".

##### Befriending with Launchpad and Webby

In "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!", Della is getting ready to fly the Cloudslayer to Fort Duckburg in order to sky-write the letter "C" in order to commemorate her ancestor, Cornelius Coot for his heroism in the past against the Beagle militia within 3 hours, only to find the plane missing until Launchpad reveals that it has been broken down into pieces, thanks to Launchpad's awkwardness; much to her chagrin. Despite her frustration, annoyance, and anger, Della does everything she can to keep calm and not offend Launchpad despite his idiocy.

Later, Della and Launchpad begin to rebuild the plane but Launchpad's clumsiness and methods involving gum and a hamster wheel prove to be too futile and ludicrous even for Della to handle as she tries fixing it properly, realizing he doesn't know what he's doing at all despite the latter reassuring her that everyone has his/her own way when it comes to planes; much to her annoyance.

Having finally finished fixing the plane with a few extra details added involving a new paint job, Della, not wanting to hurt Launchpad's feelings, allow him to take her objection personally, or offend him, tries the best she can to explain to him as to why she doesn't want him near the plane or how bad a pilot he is when it comes to crashing every time he flies.

When Della suggests that he should maybe take a few proper flying lessons, Launchpad naively gets the idea about volunteering to be her "co-pilot" and learning from the best despite the best way she can to dissuade him (saying "yes" without agreeing to this) without hurting his feelings further. Having no other choice, Della reluctantly decides to fly out with Launchpad as her "student".

In the sky, Della tries teaching Launchpad a few lessons but when his intellect proves futile, Della simply suggests that he stare out the window and see if they're still airborne. Later, annoyed by Launchpad's further antics and methods, Della tries the best she can to remain calm as she tries to focus on her mission until she is surprised by Launchpad who tries to calm her down when he notices how tense she is and tells her that "nothing matters" up to point where Della can't take it anymore and finally loses her temper as she tells him to sit down and not distract her any further.

After riding the sky like wild, when Della tries to see how the plane sky-writes, the plane suddenly starts to cough out the smoke exhaust, which blinds Della. But to make things worse, when Della states that they are going to crash, this encourages Launchpad to further naively initiate it.

After the plane crashes into a hidden cave, which ironically and momentarily saves the kids from the Beagle Boys, Della scolds and reprimands Launchpad until she notices her kids and Webby in the cave and in trouble with the Beagles.

So, Della jumps down to the rescue and ties up the Beagles with rope, which earns her heroic praise from her kids. Wondering why her kids are here and where Webby is, Della tells them to stay behind and safe while she goes after Webby.

Della finds Webby in the armory room, trying to find something as she tries to calm her down until she finds out that Webby, having grown envious of all the adventures she went on and conquered by the time she was her age and forced to confess, has been using her old journal in order to find the one treasure she herself could never find when she was Webby's age while involving the boys along so as to prove herself to be like her when the book falls out of her backpack and she questions her actions, namely, Cornelius' treasure known as "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot", which in the end, turned out to be just corn; much to her dismay and disappointment.

Noticing how disappointed Webby is as she calls herself an impostor much like Cornelius supposedly was, Della tries to cheer her up by stating how she made it farther than anyone else ever has and she only needs to be herself because she has her own unique and special ways of doing things without having to prove herself to anyone, which then leads Della to realize she should apologize to Launchpad.

However, during their talk, Webby's candle accidentally ignites a wire and sets off a chain of events that leads the room to start filling up with popcorn. Webby and Della then realize Cornelius' true strategy of fending off the Beagle Boys from the legend, which was heating up corn to make it sound like he was firing from all ends like an army, and thus, outwitting the Beagle Boys and making him a hero in his own way.

Then, when Della and Webby hear noises coming from the other room and as the room begins to overflow with popcorn, they decide to flee the armory and in the process, they use a nearby scythe to cut Launchpad and the boys down, having been strung up along with the Beagles minus Big Time (having been kicked out of the gang by Ma earlier) by his spiders; leaving the Beagles behind. As the wave of popcorn begins coming their way, Della, Launchpad, and the kids board the plane while Big Time strings up the other Beagle Boys into a ball to protect them from the impact. When Della can't seem to get the plane to move, she finally allows Launchpad to use it in his own way in order to escape, who then orders his hamster (who is revealed to be super strong) to move the propellers with his hamster wheel.

When Launchpad tells them to relax as they are about to crash, Della actually finds that statement ironically comforting in the end as she and the kids prepare for the inevitable. They finally crash their way out of the cave and fly off, letting the Beagle Boys escape as well with Ma allowing Big Time back into the gang.

Back at Fort Duckburg, while the boys are seen attracting tourists towards the attractions, Della and Webby are happy that they solved the mystery of Cornelius Coot's golden armoury together as they celebrate with Launchpad over a cup of raw buttermilk each. But as they begin to drink it, they finally spit it out at the last minute; given its raw taste as they watch with disgust as Launchpad surprisingly enjoy it despite spiders coming out of it.

#### Troubles and reconciliation with Louie

In "Timephoon!", while preparing for the El Pato hurricane, at the mansion, Mrs. Beakley tries to get Della to implement some tough love with her children as they get up to their usual antics. However, Della, still as stubborn, somewhat immature, and childish as ever, prefers to encourage their activities, claiming she should be supportive; much to Mrs. Beakley's annoyance.

Later, when the kids minus Louie find a caveduck named Bubba at their door, Della is glad that his presence will earn Huey a place in the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook on his report about caveducks despite Beakley stating that such unusual circumstances may lead to further unfortunate turns of events later on, which Della dismisses since it's just "one little caveduck". She later naively takes Beakley's metaphor about stepping on a butterfly in the past can have severe consequences in the future as something literal.

After the kids have some fun watching Bubba skateboard in the house, Mrs. Beakley sees this as a perfect opportunity to convince Della to start some serious parenting, which she executes awkwardly. Then, strange things begin to happen when Della and her family suddenly find themselves under attack by pirates. Later, more figures from the past are seen arriving either from the past or the future within the storm, dubbed by the news media as a "timephoon", circling above McDuck Manor. Through Scrooge and Mrs. Beakley's deduction and after a surprise visit from Dr. Gearloose who explains that someone stole his Time-tub machine, Della is surprised and shocked when Scrooge concludes that one of her kids is the thief, which she further dismisses despite Louie acting weird over that fact.

Then, Della and her family are visited by a ninja. As she and Beakley are fighting off the ninja, Mrs. Beakley points out to Della that one of her kids is, in fact, responsible for this mess despite being good kids with good intentions in their own way. After subduing the ninja in her old Santa trap, they are informed by Scrooge about French freedom fighters present on the roof. Later, Della finally admits that this is a big problem when she sees Bubba riding a triceratops named Tootsie in the hall, but before she can listen to Mrs. Beakley's advice, the latter disappears before her very eyes, realizing that the machine not only transports historical figures into their time but also present people into different time periods.

After Dr. Gearloose disappears, as Della watches in horror as her Uncle Scrooge and the kids taking on pirates, French freedom fighters, Tootsie, and cowboys, she notices that Louie is nowhere to be found. So, Della goes up to the kids' room to check up on him, only to find out that Louie is, in fact, the real thief having stolen and used Gyro's machine to steal treasures from different time periods as part of another one of his money-making schemes to get rich quick without any thought of the consequences it may lead to eventually; much to the shock of his mother despite the latter trying to set things right this time.

As Della and Launchpad bring the machine down to set things right, Louie tries to get his mother to calm down, but she only gets more distraught when she sees the others still fighting historical figures in the hall and the results of his actions, regretting not having listened to Beakley in the first place. Then, one by one, everybody including the kids and Della herself begins to disappear as they are transported to different time periods as well. Before disappearing, Della tells Louie to hurry up before it's too late.

After Louie sets things right once and for all, everybody forgives him as he apologizes sincerely, but Della finally decides to put her foot down and start acting like a real parent this time. Realizing how one of Louie's schemes nearly destroyed time, space, and especially, his own family, she reprimands him about taking off in that machine without thinking about the consequences or the people he would hurt. A remark which Louie barely takes offense to as he sarcastically replies about where he got that trait from, which not only shocks everyone but also upsets and breaks Della's heart up to a point where she decides to not only forbid him from planning anymore schemes, hunting for treasure, or making Louie Inc. a reality, but also grounding him indefinitely.

Nevertheless, after being sent to his room in anger, Della reveals how bad and sorry she feels for having been so hard on her own son until Mrs.

Beakley reassures her that a little tough love now will make her kids better people later no matter how hard it is when she states how it worked on her just now.

Della is seen the next morning with Beakley cleaning the mess outside from the hurricane.

In "GlomTales!", after having grounded Louie, Della takes countermeasures as she reveals that she has blocked his phone signal and replaced all his videos with a lecture on ethics when Louie tries to have fun in his time in his room with his phone and Huey's tablet. Della sets off on a new adventure at Big Rock Candy Mountain with her family, which Louie notices and wants to go to as well, but Della stills forbids him to leave since he is still grounded while reminding him what his last dream nearly cost him. As she sends him back to his room, Della tells him that he can come out when he learns that no good ever comes from cockamamie schemes.

During his time at home, Della also reveals that she had Gyro program the DT-87 to babysit and stop him from scheming when Louie tries warming his way out of being grounded. When Huey talks to Louie through the robot's screen, Della tells him not to describe anything to Louie since he hasn't earned it. Then, she and Huey notice the Hobo King on a golden silver climbing throne before hanging up.

Then, when Louie wonders what is wrong with an innocent scheme, through a recording on the robot, Della explains that ethics is concerned with how his actions negatively affect those around him, stating that his plans and schemes only lead to bad things for his family and that if he wants to be a part of this family, he has to stop.

Later, Della is present with her family at Scrooge's Money Bin as Scrooge is about to win his bet against Glomgold. Still, Della chooses to head to the mansion to give a Hobo souvenir to Louie as she starts worrying about him despite Huey reassuring her that everything's fine since the DT-87 hasn't reported a single scheme in 24 hours. However, their plan is cut short when Glomgold arrives, having formed his own "family" consisting of Scrooge's other enemies: the Beagle Boys, Magica De Spell, Mark Beaks, and Don Karnage to take on Scrooge and his family once and for all. Della fights the Beagle Boys while the rest handle the others but then, when Della and her family find themselves surrounded by the villains, they are surprised but later, shocked when they see that Louie has supposedly joined them. They are even more shocked when they see that Scrooge "lost" his bet after Louie convinced the villains to pull out all their resources and give them to Glomgold, with Louie as his partner in order to win more money than Scrooge.

However, Della and the others appear even more surprised and quite impressed when Louie, having actually conned the villains the whole time, reveals that his partner's real name is actually Duke Baloney and since Flintheart Glomgold is a false identity, the money goes to Llewelyn Duck instead.

Della and the others watch as the other villains vent their frustration on Glomgold who falls into the sea and swims away.

After the villains flee, Della confronts Louie, who apologizes for having messed up before while revealing that seeing the angles is what he's good at; much like his own mother.

Proud of her own son, Della embraces Louie then tells him not to hurt the ones he loves and in return, promises to help him with his angles.

Then, she insists that he turn the company back to Scrooge, but Louie, with greed on his mind, looks at the documents further.

##### Prelude to War

In "The Richest Duck in the World!", while Louie is enjoying his life as the richest duck in the world momentarily while evading a monster set to destroy both him and Scrooge, Della tries to contact Penumbra and all her friends on the Moon through a video recording while introducing her kids including Webby minus Louie as well. Della is later shocked when she finds out that all the video transmissions she tried sending to her kids back when she was still stuck on the Moon during those 10 years never reached them.

After Dewey accidentally destroys the camera, Dewey has a joy overload when he learns that Della is looking for someone who could help her transmit her message with cameras and stuff, which leads Della to appearing on Dewey's show, "*Dewey Dew-Night!*".

Throughout the day, Della recounts the tales she made during her time on the Moon while Dewey does his own thing on his show. Desperate to send her message now after Dewey has unintentionally delayed some time with his antics, Dewey allows her to finally transmit her message to Penumbra. When asked about Penumbra and their relationship, however, Dewey notes that evidence is in favour of Penumbra hating her rather than being her friend, making Della realize that maybe she and Penumbra were never really friends in the first place as she leaves the show in sadness and sorrow. Later, while packing her contact equipment, Dewey comes over to apologize to his mom about his earlier assumptions concerning her friendship with Penumbra, but Della simply brushes it off and reassures him that family is more important than Moon friends. However, the moment Della is about to unplug her contact equipment, she suddenly receives a message from Penumbra at the last minute; much to her joy and happiness.

The message, however, turns out to be a warning about Lunaris' upcoming invasion to destroy Earth as Della and Dewey learn that Lunaris is coming for them and their family first, much to their shock.}}

##### Alien Invasion

In "Moonvasion!", having received Penumbra's invasion warning, Della proceeds to inform her Uncle Scrooge of the news and at the same time, tries to keep him calm him down as numerous spaceships (designed after the Spear of Selene) enter the Earth's atmosphere. On the news, Della and her family watch in horror as the Moonlanders proceed to attack the city despite Gizmoduck's best attempts to ensure peace with the visitors by offering them pie.

Later, Della and her family drive in Scrooge's jeep straight to the impenetrable Money Bin in order to initiate the contingencies Scrooge had prepared for, which Gyro regretfully informs have each been taken down by the invaders as the first step of the invasion. Through a video transmission, they learn that Lunaris seeks to target Scrooge and his family as he lands on McDuck Manor and that Louie was responsible for destroying Duckburg's satellite defense system due to the whole Bombie incident the previous week.

Having no other choice, Scrooge, Della, and Dr. Gearloose send out an army of Lil Bulbs to gather all the allies they need to save the world.

However, realizing that Lunaris is coming for their family, both Della and Scrooge agree to take the kids somewhere safe by giving them the false impression that they are going to search the entire globe for more reinforcements while counting on Webby's skills, Dewey's gusto, Huey's know-how, and Louie's strategy as Scrooge and his allies set out to take down Lunaris and his army.

Flying in the Cloudslayer, their first destination is Egypt, at the Temple of Toth-Ra, only to find that the Moonlanders have already arrived there as a battle between them and the living mummies led by Amunet and Faris Djinn occurs. Knowing she can't keep her family safe and that the Moonlanders will invade the pyramid despite Amunet and Djinn's best efforts, Della proceeds to continue further without landing; much to the kids' confusion. When Amunet mentions some sort of god of the Moon through a Lil Bulb acting as a phone, Della and the kids get the idea of "recruiting" the Olympian gods including Della's old friend, Selene for help at Ithiquack.

However, once they reach Ithaquack, not only are they denied sanctuary at the temple by Zeus; much against Selene and Storkules' better judgement, but the Moonlanders also arrive in time to attack. So, Della and the kids retreat. Flying in the air while avoiding fire from upcoming spaceships, Della uses her prosthetic leg to keep the plane steady on course while she tries to find an abandoned location on the map for them to hide in, which confuses the kids even more.

Then, Della regains her leg and control of the plane after it took a slight hit. However, when the kids come to realize how their mission to recruit their allies back in Egypt failed and how Della was more determined about getting everyone in the temple at Ithiquack rather than recruiting reinforcements, the kids conclude that they are, in fact, running away. This leads Della to finally confess her real plan to them and about Lunaris targeting them, stating that they never would've agreed had she told them the truth in the first place.

But when questioned by her kids about leaving the rest of their friends and family behind, Della further states that *they* are her family whom she can't risk losing again until they receive another hit from a spaceship and crash-land on a deserted island.

On the island, Della and the kids come out as Della reassures them that they are safe until they come face-to-face with a highly unexpected event in their path: Donald Duck, scruffy and accompanied by a ventriloquist dummy melon shaped like Mickey Mouse (much like how Della once was after 10 years on the Moon), emerging from the undergrowth; much to everyone's shock and surprise.

Della and Donald have a moment of silence as they both approach each other until they suddenly lose their tempers due to Donald's long absence and Della not getting his message.

After restraining Dewey from attacking his uncle for not having named him Turbo like he was supposed to, Della and Donald finally confess how much they missed each other despite their anger and quickly reconcile and embrace each other at last until Della gets freaked out by Donald's strange new attitude involving a melon.

As Della and the kids watch Donald talking to the melon and performing some ventriloquism and learn about his situation, the family gather around for a group hug while concealing the fact that they were unaware of Donald's going missing.

When Donald and the kids aim to get back to Duckburg to help Scrooge, Della, still determined about keeping her family safe, tries in vain to dissuade them as she states that Scrooge knows exactly what he's doing.

Later, Della has finally made a home out of the crashed plane, only to find Donald and the kids trying to formulate a plan on how to escape instead. So, Della tries in vain to convince her family to stay on the island while temporarily losing her mind until she suddenly realizes how their current situation reminds her of how she was stranded on the Moon, which makes her kick Donald's melon into the ocean in a rage; much to his dismay.

Later, Louie approaches his mom as she sticks the photo of her kids back when she had to imagine what they looked like before meeting them.

Having lost her fighting spirit, Della tells Louie that all she could think about was being their mom and all the fun and adventures they would have back when she was stuck on the Moon, but was unprepared for the recent events.

After having a conversation with Louie, Della's spirit is finally rekindled when she hears Louie singing her lullaby, revealing that Donald used to sing it to them every night when they were little; much to her surprise. This motivates Della enough to *face the unknown* together as a family.

Determined to help Scrooge and wondering how to get back, the family suddenly receives an unexpected visit from their cousins: Gladstone on his Gladyear Blimp and Fethry riding Mitzy.

Then, after catching up with each other as Donald gets a decent haircut and make-over, the family heads back home while riding on Mitzy.

Della and her family arrive just in time to save Scrooge from the evil clutches of Lunaris as Mitzy proceeds to destroy the Planetary Engine, which forces Lunaris to retreat back into space in his flagship. Reunited with Scrooge and the rest of their remaining friends and family, Della and the kids signal to Scrooge not to mention anything to Donald about his "vacation" so as not to upset the latter.

However, their victory is short-lived when they learn that Lunaris, now more than determined to destroy the Earth without any thought of his own people being annihilated as well, is coming straight for them.

So, Della boards a nearby space ship with Donald, Scrooge, and the kids, while saying with a smile and a wink that she promised them a flight into space.

During the battle, Scrooge acting as the commander, Della and Donald fight over the controls of the ship while the kids take out Lunaris' laser cannons.

Through brief avoidance of Lunaris' laser turrets, Della ultimately takes full control over the ship and flies it straight up, as she then dives down towards the top surface of Lunaris' ship to disable his turrets. She then makes a U-turn and heads beneath the ship while destroying further turrets, as they then approach the back of the ship to destroy Lunaris' thruster engine.

But despite having destroyed most of his defenses, Lunaris' final line of defenses proves too much for the family and all hope seems lost for them as they are about to be destroyed. Knowing they were now trapped, Lunaris increases his thruster's power in order to overheat their ship and inevitably cause it to be destroyed. However, just as Lunaris is about to proclaim victory, another ship on his radar appears on alert and is seen coming his way.

Luckily, Penumbra arrives just in time to destroy the engine, leaving Lunaris stranded on his flagship serving as a second Moon, and rejoin the family; much to Della's joy and surprise. Then Lunaris attempts to activate his ship's backup engines, only to realize Glomgold's sharks have eaten away at the ship's circuitry. Selene then appears in front of him and informs him, much to his dismay, that not only has Storkules gotten Earth back into orbit with his strength, but the mothership he is aboard has now become the Earth's second moon.

Back at McDuck Manor, with peace between the Earthers and the Moonlanders having finally been achieved, Della and her family are happily reunited with the others who were in former custody as they celebrate their victory, confident that they can face any future difficulties as a family.

She then joins her family and friends in a group shot, unaware they are being watched by the criminal organization F.O.W.L. and Bradford Buzzard personaly.

He, after being tired of Scrooge and his family threatening his plans through their adventures, now intend to give the family their last adventure ever.}}

##### Search for Finch's treasures and other dealings

In "Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!", Della, wearing her old Junior Woodchuck uniform, is present with her family at Huey's senior woodchuck graduation as she expresses how proud she is of her own son.

When Webby asks where is Donald's uniform, Della sadly reveals that he was kicked out due to his anger and bad attitude about nature before the latter accidentally gets himself tangled by the camera's filmstrip. Then, learning from Launchpad that both Huey and Violet are going to have a challenge to see who wins to earn the Senior Woodchuck badge this year, Della and her family cheer for them.

After helping Donald out of his bonds, Della and her family admire a portrait of legendary explorer and Chief of Woodchuck Exploration, Isabella Finch while amazed by her adventurous tales told by Scrooge.

At first, Della and the kids appear upset when they see Scrooge snatch the treasure map off of Finch's portrait until he reveals that Finch actually left the map for future adventurers to find, thus, another treasure-hunting adventure is about to begin soon; much to their joy and excitement.

Later, Della and her family are present at the start of Huey and Violet's challenge and cheer for him when it begins. Then, the real adventure begins for the rest of the family. During their journey, they are being constantly pursued by an unusual bird whose song continuously annoys Scrooge. Unlike Scrooge, Della and the others watch with joy and amusement as Dewey imitates the Bird's song and dance. Then, Della runs after Donald when being tormented by a mosquito.

Later on, Della and her family take shelter under a log to avoid lightning rain falling down on them but Della gets constantly zapped by droplets, which eventually causes her to lose her patience and accidentally knock Donald out until they are visited by the Bird again and decide to follow it through the hollow log.

After making it out to safety and barely avoiding a bear attack, the group follow the Bird into a cave using a torch Della made due to the Bird having snatched the map off of Scrooge's hands; much to the latter's anger and annoyance. When the group can't seem to decide which way to go and follow the Bird as Scrooge complains and after a few speeches, Della and her family watch Scrooge imitate the Bird's call to know which way to go.

Eventually, the group follow the Bird straight to the finish line of the challenge. At first, thinking her son won, Della cheers for Huey before confronting Launchpad in anger when she learns from Huey that he in fact, lost. Della protests and claims that the challenge was rigged and that her boy deserves to win but, Huey admits he lost fair and square, as he then asks Launchpad for his failure badge, which Launchpad decides to offer him one of his own. After earning his badge while walking away with pride despite his defeat, Della angrily but naively hints out to Launchpad that she will be keeping an eye on him before leaving.

After cheering for Violet's victory, Della and her family are visited once again by the Bird; much to Scrooge's constant annoyance. Recognizing its call and song, Della and the others learn from Huey about the Bird's true species and the story behind it as it leads them to the true treasure: Finch's journal.

As Della and her family watch Donald continue running away from the mosquito again, they learn about Finch's Missing Mysteries in the journal and become more excited than ever, thus, getting ready for their next big adventure, unaware they are being watched by F.O.W.L. yet again through the mosquito revealed to be in fact, a mechanical spy bug. Its camera is seen being shown to agents of F.O.W.L. including Gandra Dee, Black Heron, Phantom Blot, and the Board of Directors. Through the camera, Black Heron points out their discovery to a journal holding access to the most mysterious relics lost to time, with Bradford adding that the race is on.

In "Quack Pack!", Della and her family, surprisingly acting strange and wearing new clothes, are getting ready for the family portrait. When Huey asks if Scrooge fixed his study already, Della and Louie back Scrooge up until they are dragged into his office where they find the study to be a complete mess. Unlike everyone else, Huey is the only one who suspects something strange is going on around here.

Later, as Scrooge tries to fix up his office himself, Della tells Louie to keep an eye on the door in case Huey and Donald come but are too late. Della calms them down when they begin to panic before Dewey comes along and takes Donald away to keep him calm. When Huey's Junior Woodchuck Guidebook appears blank for no reason while trying to make things perfect, Della tries to dismiss the fact with a made-up, ludicrous excuse. Then, Della and the others appear baffled when they notice Huey acting weird and running out of the study in panic.

Della and Louie watch as Scrooge tries fixing the office in vain until Huey barges in while pointing out that something strange is going on. When they notice Huey acting more "hysterical" as he points the fact that they are literally living in another universe, Della tries to calm him down as she relates to how she used to snap all the time back on the Moon, only due to sole-crashing loneliness. Luckily, Huey manages to convince them otherwise when they literally break the 4th wall. Realizing they are trapped in a T.V. show when trying to escape, Della and the others use various tools to dig their way out of this universe.

Della and the others finally dig their way down to the garage where they join up with Launchpad. When Donald, accompanied by Goofy, appears more worried about the photo, Della tells him to forget it when she points out that they are trapped in a T.V. show. Knowing they should be out adventuring instead, everyone tries to remember what happened on their last adventure. In a flashback, it is revealed that during their last adventure, one night, they were fighting giant scorpions in a cave after finding some treasure including the lamp of Collie Baba until Donald unexpectedly made a wish about having normal family problems that lead to his wish being granted by a genie named Gene; much to everyone else's chagrin.

Then, they meet Gene (having been in photographer disguise the whole time) again. Della and Scrooge demand that Gene undoes the wish but the latter can't because only Donald can undo it with the two remaining wishes he has left since he was the one who made the first wish in the first place. Though mad at him, Donald, however, believes the world isn't as bad as they make it out to be considering the problems they face aren't catastrophically dangerous, and at the end of the day, everything is resolved without anyone getting hurt (like in the kids' case), captured (like in Scrooge's case), or lost (like in Della's case). Regardless, Huey believes that's simply not who they are because they love the spirit of adventure, travelling the world, and defying danger. Angered, Donald storms out of the room with Goofy following him and proceeds to continue with setting up the family photo he's wanted to do from the start, thus, leaving Della and the rest of the family trapped probably forever.

Unfortunately, things get worse when Della and the others find themselves being attacked and chased by the audience revealed to be humans due to wanting to find a way to reverse the wish in their own manner; much to their horror. Unfortunately, they then trap themselves once again after falling into a room similar to the entrance room inside the mansion.

Wanting to know what's going on, Gene reminds them that Donald made the wish and that if they continue to fight it, the wish will only further attempt to preserve itself. Following Huey's suggestion, Della and the others try to look for the lamp until Launchpad finds himself confronted by illusions of his past girlfriends who then become hostile themselves. Luckily, Della, Webby, and Beakley help Launchpad defeat them single-handedly. Then, Della and the others are momentarily saved by Huey using a wave of the drink previously seen in the Pep commercial before the humans come back. Della and her family continue fighting the humans until Donald, having changed his mind, steps in and joins in the fight, saving everyone just in time while Goofy takes pictures.

After defeating the remaining humans and finally locating the lamp on a lamp (chandelier) and thanks to Goofy's clumsiness, Donald uses the lamp to undo his first wish, which returns everything back to normal and takes everyone back to where they left off on their last adventure.

After Gene shoots out of the lamp once more out of fun exhilaration for the *"episode"* that just happened,

Della and her family also discover Goofy in a corner of the cave, as they realize Goofy was actually real the entire time.

Gene then appears in front of Donald, reminding him he still has one more wish he can grant him, which he uses for a framed photo for himself of the entire family working together against the humans created by the first wish.

In "The Lost Harp of Mervana!", their next adventure takes them underwater in a submarine in search of the next treasure in Finch's journal, The Lost Harp of Mervana. Della reveals her mysterious animosty, fear, allergy, and disgust of fish and other sea life. Once they finally locate and arrive at Mervana and meet merducks, Della, still disgusted and somewhat paranoid, tries to arm torpedoes at them before her family stops her at the last minute through protests and objections.

Rather than to join her family on their next adventure due to her ichthyophobia, Della chooses to stay behind in the submarine. Later, Della plays X and O's with herself. Frustrated, Della reconsiders joining her family out there until she is visited by Dewey wearing tail fins he made himself, which suddenly makes her change her mind.

Later, Della tries the best she can to overcome her fear, which she almost does, until she is visited by King Honestus in sea monster form, which makes her quickly retreat into the submarine again.

Having finally overcome her fear momentarily, Della saves everyone just in time by knocking out King Honestus with one kick from her metallic leg before he can attack again.

Della cheers over her victory and overcoming her fear until she gets disgusted again and grosses out after smelling her metal foot she dismantles.

Then, Della joins her family as they watch the merducks and their king, fully-restored to his true form, learning to adapt to walking on land with legs again after staying in the water for so long before they leave to return home until their next adventure.

In "The Phantom and the Sorceress!", Della is only briefly seen entering the living room to inform her Uncle Scrooge that a floating goat is in his closet requesting the former's help back in the latter's realm as she watches both her uncle and kids leave on another adventure.

In "They Put a Moonlander on the Earth!", Della enters a hangar to check up on her friend, Penumbra, busy fixing her ship in order to return home on the Moon as soon as possible due to feeling homesick.

Though Penumbra appears slightly surprised and annoyed by Della's greeting and joke, Della does what she can to persuade Penumbra about staying and giving Earth a chance.

After Penumbra tells her about her previous disastrous date with Launchpad, Della appears distraught at the very mention of the experience her friend had; especially, since it involved Launchpad in it.

Then, Dewey and Webby enter as the former excitingly asks his mom's permission to put himself in a dangerous situation involving the newly-built Glomwheel at the pier in order to become more famous than a kid named Timmy Jenkins, which Della surprisingly agrees to as she further suggests taking Penumbra along for the ride; much to Webby's joy but Penumbra's temporary chagrin.

The next morning, Della is present with Dewey, Webby, Penumbra, Gibbous, and Zenith at a café as Gibbous recounts the tale of how Penumbra heroically saved the kids from danger and certain death. Then, Della joyfully states that she shouldn't have allowed this to happen in the first place as she surprisingly comforts her son in his time of anger due to Timmy having gained fame once again.

When Launchpad, having crashed the limo next to the café, arrives, Penumbra, having finally changed her mind about Earth, reveals that she intends to learn how to dismantle her ship from Launchpad and takes both Della and Dewey in her arms with Webby following her to the limo as well in order to help with the dismantling.

In "The Trickening!", dressed like a devil for Halloween while Donald is dressed like an angel, Della appears disappointed in not performing her usual scaring tricks on upcoming trick-or-treaters for a haunted house theme whereas Donald won't be able to give out candy at McDuck Manor either after Scrooge closes it for the holiday. After Scrooge and the kids go their separate ways, Donald tries to cheer up Della by telling her that Launchpad's house will be fun but to no avail since there will only be giving out candy and watching cheesy movies instead of scaring kids.

Having arrived at Launchpad's house, Della and Donald are suddenly spooked by Launchpad in a Halloween costume armed with a buzzsaw; thinking they're monsters at first. Admiring the authenticity and detail on Launchpad's house bound to scare any kid, Della is looking forward to spend Halloween at Launchpad's more than ever. Then, Della, Donald, and Launchpad await the arrival of trick-or-treaters as the former wonders what kind of haunted house they're running until Launchpad's latest scare and attitude towards kids leaves the twins puzzled, lost, and confused.

Then, Della and Donald, curious to know what Launchpad believes to be his fault, are brought inside where they are told the tale by Launchpad of how he "unleashed a monster curse" on Duckburg as a child that takes place every Halloween. Unlike Donald, however, Della is up for it; naively thinking that the kids will think the scare is real because Launchpad thinks it's real: a Halloween they'll never forget. Due to Donald's protests, the twins suddenly get themselves into another childish sibling fight.

However, when they realize how Launchpad's antics and actions are going too far up to a point where kids are nearly getting hurt for real with a bigger buzzsaw including having subdued Scrooge earlier and how he really doesn't know what Halloween is as he heads out somewhere, Della and Donald stop fighting and proceed to stop Launchpad at all cost by talking some sense into him at last.

Having arrived at what appears to be an actual haunted mansion filled with real monsters where Launchpad's mishap all happened years ago, Della and Donald unwittingly scare the real monsters while looking for Launchpad scaring the monsters and somehow saving Webby and the boys at the same time. As Della and Donald try to stop Launchpad, they notice him reading what he thinks is a "sacred text" to break the "curse" when what is, in fact, candy ingredients; much to their dismay and annoyance.

After clearing a misunderstanding and making peace with the monsters, Della and Donald give out free candy to children all night at McDuck Manor despite Scrooge charging admission while Webby and the boys explain to Launchpad about Halloween.

Finally, Della and her family including the monsters have a black and white photo taken together and hung at the haunted mansion to celebrate the end of another perfect yet scarier Halloween.

In "Escape from the ImpossiBin!" after the discovery at St. Canard that F.O.W.L. is back, that it was run by Bradford and they are out to get Scrooge, the Duck Family decides to take extra precautions to take on the evil organization. Mrs. Beakley informs the children that F.O.W.L. was thought to have been destroyed decades previously by S.H.U.S.H. Several possible F.O.W.L. agents are discussed, but none are identified as actual operatives.

At the Money Bin, Scrooge has Louie and Della test out his new defense system dubbed the "Impossibin", which he hopes will be effective enough against F.O.W.L.

They head into the first room, which is a hall filled with chainsaws and blades coated in ultraviolet lights, making it impossible to see. Della and Louie attempt to navigate through the corridor. Scrooge is satisfied, but cannot turn off the defense system after he forgets the password; trapping them in the room. They discover that the room is powered by a Little Helper Bulb and when criticized, briefly turns the room red and use it to escape.

The trio travel from room to room until they end up in a library covered in Rosa Runes. When they step on one, their force of gravity changes. They manage to escape the room and move on. Throughout the entire ordeal, Scrooge continues voicing his disapproval over how they are easily able to solve each of the rooms. Louie and Della criticize him for this as they are trying to stay alive and get out.

They eventually reach the main office where they face a robot version of Scrooge that transforms and attacks them. They manage to defeat this, too with Scrooge once again angered.

The robot is taken over by Bradford Buzzard who tells them that he is able to hack it with the help of Gandra Dee. He also reveals that Scrooge did not forget the password, but Bradford, through his hacking, had actually changed it. Della angrily asked what does he wanted naming him along the way "sour-pussed scavenger". Bradford replied that if he told them that, then he would not be effective shadowey nemesis.

He uses the robot to attack the three who navigate through the bin to escape it. Eventually, they make it back to the money bin where Scrooge and the robot fight on the ceiling due to the gravity runes. As they fight, Louie distracts the robot into blasting a rune straight towards Scrooge's fortune, causing it to rise and crush the robot while Scrooge swims through it to safety. Louie and Della inform Scrooge that nothing can stop them because they are adventurers and can face anything. Unfortunately for the Ducks, this attack proves to be intended as a distraction, as various operatives steal Missing Mysteries previously located by them.

Immediately after awareness of this Scrooge decides not to play in defence but to direct attacking against F.O.W.L. and continuing for serch of the remaining Missing Mysteries. The Ducks, feeling empowered by their recent adventure, know that they will do everything they can to beat F.O.W.L.

In "New Gods on the Block!" after Scrooge's, Huey's, Dewey's, Louie's and Webby's failed attempt to retrive the helmet of Henghis Kahn, Della comes and tells the kids that Scrooge will easily get over it, which he does.

However, he declares that he will gather a new team to retrieve the helmet. Hearing this causes the kids to feel bad and believe that Scrooge does not think much of them. At that moment, Selene and Storkules arrive with a powerless Zeus.

Selene reveals that they have taken Zeus' wreath crown from him because he has been abusing his powers and are looking for a new holder. While Selene wants to give it to Della, she suggests letting the kids try it so that they can feel important, and she reluctantly concedes.

Selene sets up auditions for the power of the Gods for the kids while Zeus tries in vain to retain his title. He makes a quick call to his brother Hades to release the Titan so that he can defeat it and regain his godly powers. However, Hades refuses mostly because it is ill-advised, but also because he finds Zeus' predicament amusing. Louie is the first to audition and the wreath grants him Midas golden touch abilities. He goes to Duckburg Park to try them out and quickly causes destruction when he accidentally turns everyone and everything into gold. Selene brings him back and turns everything back to normal. Huey is up next and is granted supreme intelligence and goes downtown to try it out. However, his abilities end up upsetting people around him due to his bluntness, causing his brain to get bigger every time he tells the future and is brought back to the house.

Webby is given the wreath and tries to use her powers to make everyone at the Duckburg Pier happy, but in her haste and forcefulness, she comes off as destructive and scares everyone. Dewey comes in to audition with a dance, completely forgetting that he was auditioning for God powers, and immediately fails. The kids all become hopelessly depressed.

Zeus encounters a mopey Storkules and hears of what occurred with him Donald and Daisy. He manipulates his son into releasing the Titan by punching a giant hole in the ground. The Titan and rises and immediately goes for Donald. Daisy, witnessing the event while driving away, turns around. Just as Scrooge is about to leave, he and the rest of the Duck Family rush out to see the commotion. The Titan devours Donald, angering Daisy who yells that it killed her "boyfriend", making Donald happy who is still inside alive. The Titan quickly devours Selene, Storkules and Zeus while Della and Scrooge argue with one another. Della informs Scrooge that the kids feel bad because he does not thank them or tell them how great they are.

Scrooge finally tells the kids that they will never be Gods, but that they are the best team to him and that they can solve anything regardless of having powers or not. As Scrooge and Della get eaten, Daisy confronts the Titan while the kids take the wreath and share it; using their powers to defeat the Titan and releasing their family and friends.

Donald and Daisy share a kiss as Storkules ineptly declares that the three of them will make a great team. Scrooge once again apologizes for not being up front with the kids.

Zeus pathetically regains his wreath, tosses a weak thunderbolt at the Titan and kicks it back into the crack.

As he claims that he defeated the Titan, he trips and falls into it as well. As everyone walks away nonchalantly, Hades can be heard laughing at Zeus' new predicament, much to Zeus' dismay.

In "The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!" Della is thrilled to see Dewey following in her footsteps, when he flies the Sunchaser into Cape Suzette under her supervision. But Dewey himself is less than impressed with the routine flight. Huey, nervous to have his brother at the controls, identifies the Stone lost by Kit as the Stone of What Was, another of Isabella Finch’s Missing Mysteries.

Thanks to a F.O.W.L. transmission intercepted some time previously, the Ducks know that the Stone was in enemy hands but lost in transit.

After a showboating Dewey makes a rough landing, the three approach the office of Higher for Hire, Kit’s company. Della notes that the business seems to be failing, but Dewey is awestruck by footage of a young Kit performing his namesake feat of cloudkicking.

The Ducks find Kit sleeping next to his plane, the Sea Duck, and Kit proves to be an old acquaintance of Della’s from flight school. Kit assures them that he is now an “ace pilot” comparable to their fellow classmate Molly Cunningham, whom Della recalls as a talented student pilot. Huey and Della try to find out from Kit where the Stone of What Was fell, but he insists on flying them there himself and being paid for the service. When Dewey expresses interest in learning to cloudkick, much to Della’s chagrin, Kit eagerly accepts the young Duck as his sidekick.

During the flight, Della soon evicts the irresponsible Kit from the cockpit after finding a map with the Stone’s drop site marked on it.

Kit then decides to begin Dewey’s training, but the young Duck finds cloudkicking to be more than he bargained for.

The Sea Duck is spotted by Don Karnage and his pirates, whom F.O.W.L. have hired to recover the Stone. Peg Leg Meg is able to dissuade Karnage from going after Kit, but upon spotting Dewey trailing behind the Sea Duck the Pirate giddily goes on the attack. Fortunately, Kit jumps out to Dewey’s rescue, and they are able to land safely in the sea near the island.

After Kit is both thanked and berated by Della, the four head inland.

Strange tracks prove to belong to a strange gorilla-rhinoceros creature, whom the four narrowly escape.

They then find the pirates attempting to secure the Stone, which proves to be the source of the unusual animals after it merges several pirates and animals into bizarre creatures.

Della begins to climb down to reach the Stone, only to get stuck on a large sticky patch on the side of the cliff. Impatient, Dewey decides to jump into action, tasking Kit with hijacking a pirate plane to carry off the Stone. This attempt goes badly, and the situation is further complicated when Della’s sticky patch turns out to be a cocoon.

A large butterfly-bear hybrid emerges from it, and soon ends up flying through the air with Della atop it and the Stone being dragged along behind it on ropes.

The pirates pursue Della as her companions head back to the Sea Duck, and Huey snaps at Kit and Dewey for persisting in attempting tasks that they clearly have very little skill for. Kit submits to this wisdom, and mounts his airfoil to launch a cloudkicking attack on the pirates while Dewey flies the plane.

Kit manages to disable most of the pirate planes before taking on Don Karnage.

Meanwhile Della, who was impressed by Kit's cloudkicking skills, is able to cut the Stone of What Was free, allowing Dewey to catch it.

She then lands on the Sea Duck, bidding farewell to her unusual ride and praising Dewey’s piloting.

Kit then crippled Karnage’s plane, leaving him to plummet into the sea.

Back at Higher for Hire, Kit loads the crated Stone aboard the Sunchaser while Dewey expresses his newfound resolve to become a pilot. Kit then broaches the subject of his service fee, desperate to pay his bank before they sell the Sea Duck. However, the plane’s new owner, Molly Cunningham, informs him that the sale has already gone through. She then offers him a chance to bring his cloudkicking skills to her Danger Woman's Death-Defying Sky Circus, an offer he accepts with some prodding from the Ducks. Karnage, floating on his wrecked plane, bemoans his defeat-until he spots and recovers a fragment of the Stone of What Was torn away by one of his harpoons...}}

#### The Last Adventure

A few months after the discovery that F.O.W.L. is back, at Funso's Fun Zone, the Duck family and various friends and associates are in the midst of celebrating Webby's birthday. In the course of things, Della learns from cousin Fethry that Donald is planning on going on a trip around the world with Daisy, news she finds difficult to take in.

As the partiers gather for cake, they are observed by F.O.W.L., now joined by Don Karnage, who quickly realize that something is amiss. Sure enough, B.O.Y.D., Lena and Gosalyn Waddlemeyer take out F.O.W.L.'s cameras, and the group spring into action. Scrooge, Donald, Della, the nephews, Webby, Beakley, Darkwing Duck, Launchpad, and Gizmoduck make their way into the ballpit, which conceals the entrance to F.O.W.L. headquarters.

Huey explains that Launchpad has been talking in his sleep, and has determined that the pilot somehow knows the complete layout of the secret base.

Based on Huey's plan, Scrooge and the kids go to find the "Missing Mysteries of Isabella Finch" while Donald, Della, Launchpad, Gizmoduck, and Darkwing set out to capture F.O.W.L.

However, the two teams soon determine that the base is virtually empty of personnel, with the Missing Mysteries nowhere to be found.

Startlingly, they come across two young Duck girls in a pair of tubes. Upon returning with them to McDuck Manor, they are able to verify that the pair, who introduce themselves as May and June, are in fact clones of Webby.

At the Manor while May and June were investigated Della told Donald what a exciting surprise happened and he have to be dumb to go on this vacation with Daisy now.

After May and June introduced themselves Donald tried to be kind to them, but Beakley forbids to anyone to interact with the clones.

Later Della has a heart-to-heart with Donald about his imminent trip. After confessing her feelings about not wanting him to leave, the two siblings share a hug, and then Della decides to go shopping with Donald in preparation for the trip.

June, sneaking onto Donald's Houseboat, then seizes the Sword of Swanstantine left there by Della, and is spotted by Huey.

Della and Donald get back from their shopping trip, Donald rocking his favored blue sailor suit, only to be crowded by Scrooge, Dewey, and Louie with news of Beakley, Huey, and Webby's absences. Having learned that Huey has left his Junior Woodchuck Guidebook behind, Donald is convinced that this is not an attempt by the family to make him stay, and becomes determined to join in one final adventure.

At the manor, Scrooge with his family and allies prepares to leave to confront F.O.W.L. aboard the Sunchaser, which later arrives at the Library of Alexandria, the F.O.W.L. main headquarters, and Scrooge's team parachutes down, only to scatter in various directions,

with Scrooge and his niece and nephew facing a horde of Eggheads.

Scrooge, Donald, and Della prove more than a match for the Eggheads, but face a more difficult challenge when Rockerduck ages Jeeves back to his massive adult size. Scrooge, Donald, and Della struggle against Jeeves, but defeat him with the surprise aid of an Egghead who turns out to be a disguised Beakley. Unfortunately, just as Scrooge has informed Beakley that F.O.W.L. has Webby, they pair are attacked and subdued by May and Black Heron.

Scrooge awakens tied to a chair and is approached by Bradford, who notes that Scrooge's other friends and relatives, including Della, have similarly been captured.

Later, during the fight between Scrooge and Bradford, who is now armed by the Sword of Swanstantine, Bradford reveals that he was secretly the one who leaked to Della that Scrooge had built the Spear of Selene. In doing so he is revealed to have helped cause the traumatic incident that broke up Scrooge's family and led the events of the first two seasons, for the successful purpose of breaking Scrooge's will for a number of years. Scrooge, in an act of rage, tried to strike Bradford but mighty vulture captures him and throws him through the roof.

Arriving on the library roof, Scrooge sees Della, Donald and Beakley captive and learns that the boys and Webby have also been captured. Bradford threatened Scrooge, that his family would be thrown into the Solego Votex, which eliminates everything that gets into it from existence, and offers him a deal: Scrooge can return home with his family, but only if he signs a contract written on the Papyrus of Binding to never adventure again. When Scrooge points out that getting rid of adventure and chaos would mean disposing of his own personnel, Bradford callously throws the rest of the Board of Directors and Black Heron into the Solego Vortex.

Huey, viewing the conversation through a video call, accuses Bradford of lying, as only Scrooge's heir can find the papyrus. When Webby admits that she found it, Ludwig reveals that as May and June were cloned from her, she was cloned...from Scrooge. Having learned that their only reason for being was to help Bradford get the last artifact, May and June are hurt and frustrated, but are persuaded to help free Webby and the others to save the family, which they are now a part of.

Scrooge, needing a strategey, attempts to delay his signing of the contract, but Bradford threatens to throw Donald into the vortex so Scrooge reluctantly agreed to sign it and to give up. Donald tries to dissuade Scrooge from it convincing that he can beat Bradford, but Scrooge replies that it's not worth of his nephew's death and signs the contract.

Now after Scrooge's constriction by magical chains, Bradford declares that he won: "The Great Scrooge McDuck is now just poor old man". Immediately after that, much to Scrooge's, Della's and Beakley's shock and horror, Bradford finaly gives in his villainous nature

and prepares to throw Donald in vortex anyway with words: "Normaly, I wouldn't indulge in petty villainy, but since this is a special occasion...". But suddenly much to their relief and Bradford's anger the vortex deactivated as Scrooge's rescued allies in the form of Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, May, June, Gyro, Gandra and Ludwig arrive. Furious, Bradford goes after Scrooge while screaming "NO! No more adventures!" but is stopped by Webby, who tells the Buzzard to "Get away from my dad!" much to Scrooge's shock.

As the heroes try to save Scrooge (Della and Beakley, for exapmle, tried to hold Bradford back with chains), the Sword of Swanstantine amplifies Bradford's inner evil into an increasingly monstrous form.

As Bradford saw it, he started to blame the Ducks for his transformation into a base villain, still denying his own villainous nature, which is now more than obvious.

He attempts to blast the still defenseless Scrooge, but Donald puts up a barrier

and is joined in holding it by Della (who tells to Donald that she has nothing against his trip with Daisy now, after Della almost lost him and her family again and in this time forever), Webby, Dewey, Beakley, and the reformed May and June.

As they back Bradford's power Huey and Louie analyze Bradford's contract, and discover a loophole: it says Scrooge can have his family if he gives up adventure;

however, as the McDucks always say, "family is the greatest adventure of all".

Bradford said it was the stupidious thing he had ever heard and expressed great doubts that this could work as a loophole. But contrary to his expectations the contract disintegrates, losing its validity, and Bradford in horror and despair trying to catch its remains loses the sword and is left powerless. He screams in despair that he will not lose to Scrooge, but Scrooge himself replies, that Bradford lost not to him but to his family - all of them.

After that Bradford tried to escape only to be caught by Magica, Glomgold, and the Beagles waiting for him. Ma Beagle expressed her disappointed displeasure not believing that Bradford was Scrooge's greatest villian. Glomgold adds that Bradford not even wearing a kilt. Bradford desperately tried to beg for mercy by saing that he is not a villain. Magica ironically confirms that he is definitely not a villain and then turns him into an ordinary Buzzard, and Scrooge's adversaries then depart rather than face his family, both genetic and found.

After that Scrooge and his entire family began to celebrate the victory over F.O.W.L. and during that Scrooge questions Webby about her use of word "dad", which she repeats, with the nephews confirming her words. More than pleased, Scrooge pulls her into a hug calling her "Webby darling". As Beakley fears Webby will reject her she leaves but is quickly reasused she will still have a place in their family.

Shortly after Scrooge, Webby, Beakley, Della, Donald and the boys reunited with warm hug.

As the whole group head back home aboard the Sunchaser, May and June are welcomed to the group, with Donald calling Daisy to see if she'd be okay with a couple more passengers on their trip. Scrooge, proving as overprotective a father figure as his nephew, is calmed by the assurances of his great-nephews and newfound daughter. Launchpad, thrilled by the group's success, leaves the controls to grab the Ducks in a group hug, with Della thankfully taking over steering before they can crash.

Relieved not to have made an even bigger mess, Launchpad accidentally hits the button to open the cargo door, sending the entire group flying out the back of the plane. Of course, the heroes soon turn it into an unexpected free fall into a skydive through the end credits, only proper for a family of adventurers.
