Out From The Shadows/Transcript

## Part 1: A Strike Back

(The special begins with Shaduck on a call.)

Shaduck: Uh, yeah I'll be there in literally a few seconds. Bye!

Candle Man: Goin’ somewhere?

Shaduck: Yeah, Becca and Moose said they have a surprise for me at his lab. Probably, a prank.

Limefong: See you later, Duck!

(Shaduck teleports to Moose’ lab.)

Shaduck: Alright, what are you two up...to? I didn’t even know you knew each other.

Becca: He was in the fight with the Corrupted UCP!

Shaduck: Oh, right. So anyways, what’s this surprise you were talking about?

Becca: Show it to ‘im, Moosy!

(Moose pulls a cover off a table.)

Becca: Presenting…

Moose and Becca: Robo Duck!

Moose: Your own assistant robot I've created, it can help you with things you're bored of, or with two-men pranks if I'm busy!

Shaduck: Woah, that's so nice of you Moose. What's the occasion?

Becca: Oh ya know, just wanted to do something nice for ma starry leader!

Shaduck: Well, thanks! In fact, I'll use the auto pier I got a few weeks ago for my next prank with Robo Duck!

Becca: Ooh, can I join? What if it's a three-men prank! Or you know, one man, one girl, and one robot.

Shaduck: Sounds cool!

Moose: I'd join but I've got something to do. Have fun!

Shaduck: Byeee! (Teleports himself, Robo Duck, and Becca to the Candle House in his room.)

Becca: I have a plan!

Shaduck: Spill the beans!

Becca: So what if we scare the group with the robot, then you pie them from behind but since I have electricity I can basically use it like a vessel right?

Shaduck: Ooh, that's good thinking. Carry on.

Becca: So if I controlled it, I can use my electricity to also scare them by thinking I'm a haywire robot going to kill them.

Shaduck: Sounds great, let's go.

(Scene cuts to Candle Man, Mystic, and Limefong on the couch.)

Mystic: Why doesn't he just stay out of the way of the fire, he's being very annoying this episode.

Candle Man: Shaduck would probably like it, he doesn't care about that kind of thing.

Limefong: Speaking of which, where even is Shaduck?

Candle Man: Meh, he did assume he was gonna get pranked, maybe he is and is just cleaning up after it.

Mystic: Would treat him right.

(Suddenly, Robo Duck, now possessed by Becca, crashes down onto the floor. Everyone screams except her.)

Limefong: YOU’RE METAL NOW?

Candle Man: Was the surprise yoylecake?

Mystic: Mmm maybe with spikes in the inside would've been more justified .

Robo Duck: Greetings couch dwellers, I have arrived at this very location to inform you that I shall destroy you.

Mystic: Very funny Shaduck, you're not fooling anyone.

(Robo Duck then electrocutes Mystic.)

Mystic: OWOWOWOW!

(Robo Duck then slowly walks towards them.)

Candle Man: Wait, is he really a crazy robot?!

Robo Duck: I've killed Shaduck and now I will kill the rest of you.

Limefong: I think he might have…

Robo Duck: Must. Eliminate. Candle. Friends.

Candle Man: Oh no you won't, it's time to light it up! (Lights a fireball on his fin.)

Limefong: WAIT! Don't hurt him, Shaduck might still be in there.

Candle Man: He said he killed Shaduck!

Limefong: Jeah but what if it's buried really deep inside his mindscape or whatever.

(Mystic stands up, still woozy from the electrocution.)

Mystic: You've been watching too many sci-fi movies.

Robo Duck: Terminate.

Candle Man: Well, in that case it's time to light it outta here! (He grabs everyone else and runs at light speed out of the door, only to immediately get hit by the auto-pier.) What the…

(Shaduck becomes visible, holding the auto pier.)

Shaduck: You guys got pranked! And now it's going onto my and Dewey’s channel.

(Limefong wipes the cream off his face.)

Limefong: You guys run a YouTube channel now.

Shaduck: Yeah, and we've totally blown up! (Shows them the video of the three getting pranked with 100k people watching the video already.)

Limefong: Wow, you actually have.

Candle Man: Limefong! Shouldn't you be mad that he just PRANKED US!

Limefong: Eh, I've kinda grown numb to it. Also, (wipes some cream off his face with his finger and then sucks it off.) It's Key Lime Pie, my favourite.

Mystic: So Shaduck, who's the new addition to the dorkduck family?

(Robo Duck walks onscreen and electrocutes Mystic again.)

Shaduck: This is Robo Duck, the surprise Moose has invented for me but it was all the idea of Becca, who is currently possessing the machine with her powers.

Limefong: Woah, that's cool. How does it work?

Shaduck: I actually don't know, Becca was in it before we used it for anything out. Hey Becca, wanna see what this thing can do.

Becca: Yeah! Let me just try and get out! (She glows up but is unable to get out of Robo Duck.) Huh? Let me try again. (She strains again but she just can't get out.) Oh no!

Shaduck: Don't wear yourself out, Becc. I'm sure Moose can help with this!

(Scene cuts to Moose and everyone else in his lab.)

Moose: Yeah, I have no idea how to help with this.

Shaduck: WHAT?! But you made this! How can you not help?!

Moose: This has nothing to do with my machine! It's just magic! It seems that it's attracted to electricity and has trapped itself in it!

Shaduck: We know!

Moose: Yeah, well uh, I don't know what to do! Ask someone who knows about magic!

(Mystic wipes her face.)

Limefong: Allow me. (Licks her face clean, leaving behind nothing more than a “blank canvas”.)

Mystic: (Muffled speaking)

Limefong: Oh, sorry. (Takes Mystic’s face out of his mouth and splats it back on.)

Mystic: ...gross.

Candle Man: Ha, talk about dog breath.

Moose: Anyone else?

Shaduck: Uh, not many people who aren't somehow associated with Mystic…

Moose: Well, uh, how did Becca even get her powers anyways. Same with the rest of the Spooky Stars?

Mystic: I did also wonder about that. I only want to know the one and only moth.

Candle Man: Wow, Mystic. I know I'm loaded with powers but I didn't think you'd consider me a wizard.

Mystic: Uh, yeah, you.

Shaduck: Oh, yeah I got it from Magica De Spell’s book, I stole it after we banished her to Hell.

Moose: Well then, ask her!

Shaduck: What?! Did you just hear what I said?!

Moose: What other choice do you have than Mystic?

Shaduck: Ok, ok, fair point but how do we negotiate with someone we've murdered and trapped in eternal burning and suffering?

Moose: I dunno, don't you have a good social status. Couldn't you, like, get people to attack her, surely there are those kinds of scumbags in Hell who watch your videos. You are the hell bird.

Shaduck: Not after I lost it to save Candle Man.

Moose: Well, they'll still respect you. Hopefully…

Shaduck: Alright, fine. Is everybody ready?

Becca: Oh, yes. Ready as I'll ever be.

Shaduck: Then, let's go! (He teleports everybody into Hell.)

Moose: Huh, so this is Hell.

Shaduck: Yeah, it becomes the same old, same old after a while of being here many times.

Moose: Not surprised.

Candle Man: Time to activate my Candle Vision! (He does so and Magica is detected.) Follow me!

(Candle Man runs using his Candle Vision to find Magica and the rest follow him. Scene cuts to later, where they have found her.)

Shaduck: Wooh, are we there yet? Because my legs haven't been used to running this long in a long time!

Mystic: You’ve ran long way before? Surprised you haven't been teleporting all of your life.

Shaduck: Oh...uh, yeah…

Candle Man: Eh, probably just took him a while to master his powers, like me!

Limefong: Wait, is that Magica up there?!

(As started by Limefong, Magica is seen floating mid air with a large purple aura surrounding it.)

Shaduck: Is she using her powers?! But how?! She needs to use her spell book for that!

Moose: Maybe she's just flexing?

(Becca starts laughing maliciously as Magica floats down, her purple aura now gin but eyes still filled, and now Robo Duck’s as well as she continues laughing.)

Candle Man: What's happening to her?!

Becca: Oh, silly Candle, so thoughtless. I am Magica or I am controlling Becca. You see, I planned this all out. I requested that Moose make the machine so I could trap the girl you know as Becca inside it.

Shaduck: Let her out right now! Or else I will beat you to a pump!

Becca: I highly doubt that, at least if you want Becca to escape and not starve to death!

Shaduck: You sick monster.

Becca: Well, the bargain is that you return my book of spells in order for Becca’s freedom and survival.

Shaduck: No way, that would completely ruin putting you in Hell in the first place!

Becca: Well then, I suppose Becca shall just have to suffer the consequences of your decision.

(Shaduck turns around.)

Shaduck: Mystic, please?

Mystic: (Sighs.) Fine.

Becca: Actually, no. That will not be happening. (Uses her electricity to trap them all in a lightning beam.) If Becca wasn’t enough, you’ll now have to hand over the book or all of your friends will have it!

Shaduck: Fine!

Becca: Good choice.

(Shaduck teleports both of them and goes up to his room to get the book out, he teleports them both back to Hell with his friends and tosses his book over to the possessed Becca.)

Shaduck: Here's your stupid book, just let go of my friends.

(Becca gives the book to the unconscious Magica, and then snaps her fingers.)

Becca: Of course.

(The four are left three from the beam.)

Candle Man: Shaduck! You just gave her all her spells back!

(Becca wakes up.)

Becca: ...what did I do… (Faints but Shaduck catches her and picks her back up before she hits the ground.)

Magica: Indeed, Shaduck has. And now the first thing I will do is… (She zaps Shaduck, taking his powers away.)

Moose: SHADUCK!

Shaduck: (Glitching) Ugh! I knew I shouldn't have given you that book.

Magica: Oh, but you didn't. (She then flies away, using a portal to fly her out of Hell.)

Candle Man: Great, now what?

Limefong: You and Mystic should try and follow her, try and get up while her portal is still open, Moose and I will help Shaduck recover, like last time.

Candle Man/Mystic: On it.

(Candle Man uses his fire powers to boost him up inside the portal whilst Mystic transforms into her Phoenix form and flies up, the portal then closes.)

Moose: Good timing.

Limefong: How do we find a place for Shaduck to rest in Hell?

Moose: ...Make an area for him?

(Limefong raises an eyebrow as he looks at Moose.)

Moose: Sorry, man, I got nuthin.

(Shaduck continues to glitch, worse than usual.)

Limefong: Dang, he seems really messed up. I know he hasn't been like this in a while, but it seems like this has gotten even further downhill.

Moose: Has anything happened to him lately? Anything that would make him seem worse?

Limefong: Oh, he did lose his capability to fly…which is ironic.

Moose: Guess that explains it. Hope he can hold it in until Candle Man and Mystic get Magica.

(Meanwhile, with Mystic and Candle Man.)

Candle Man: You know, running sure gets tiring.

Mystic: (Her visibly taller and larger in this form compared to “The Candle Amongst The Stars”. Where in that special, her spreading out her wings to their full length showed her near the length of Candle Man’s waist, here she’s now around the size of Limefong’s head.) Oh, stop griping and keep getting a move on. We mustn’t be sluggish.

Candle Man: Right, right. Sluggish… that sounds like a slur.

Mystic: For you it does.

Magica: Would you stop following me and let me conquer the multiverse in peace? Oh wait, there is no peace in war! (Uses Shaduck’s lasers she had stolen to zap at Candle Man and Mystic.)

(Grabbing a hold of the frying pan with her beak, Mystic uses it to deflect the lasers back at Magica as she hands it back to Candle Man.)

Candle Man: Nice save!

Mystic: Thanks. Though, I have an idea for a new attack using both your fire and the frying pan that might just come in handy. (She winks.)

Candle Man: Really now? What is it?

(Mystic whispers it to Candle Man as his eyes widen.)

Candle Man: Oh my flick. It’s perfect!

Mystic: Try it out now.

Candle Man: Ok!

(Candle Man lights up a fireball in his hand as he throws it into the air, then hitting it with the frying pan like a bat as it burns up Magica’s cape.)

Magica: Hey!

Mystic: Yes! Exactly like that! How did that feel?

Candle Man: Awesome! It just came so naturally!

Mystic: Well, I’m glad to hear that. Now let’s light it up!

Candle Man: That’s my catchphrase!

Mystic: I know, buttt since both of us have access to fire powers at the moment.

Candle Man: I- good point.

Mystic: Come on!

Magica: Enough! (Teleports behind both of them and knocks them to the ground, they both groan as they try to get up. The scene cuts back to Limefong and Moose.)

Limefong: I think I can make a slime bed for him to lay down on but it’s kinda hard right smack in the middle of burn town.

UCP: Well, well, well, if we look at who it is here. The mutt, and dumb duck from the war… and companion. Where’s that stupid candle and his ever stupider girlfriend.

Moose: They’re busy.

Limefong: Screw off, grease head.

UCP: No, no, I don’t like the sound of that. How about I instead screw you up!

Moose: Go ahead and try, you don’t have any wanda, hypno gun, you don’t even hany any limbs! How are you gonna take on a shapeshifting, lightning and slime bender and a really buff moose?

UCP: Oh, that’s what you are. I thought you were an imp.

(Moose just stares at UCP, unamused.)

UCP: Well, anyways, a nice witchy friend of mine had an encounter with you similar to mine and now I share her spell book.

Limefong: Great.

(UCP then summons the rest of the Spooky Stars as Becca is still unconscious.)

Hank: Huh? What’s going on? (His eyes then turn all red as he and the rest of The Spooky Stars are possessed by UCP.)

UCP: Because this puny group was made from the book, I can control them too! And now it’s four against three, sorry, four against two.

(Shaduck, still glitching, glares at UCP angrily.)

UCP: Attack!

(Hank is the first one, encasing Moose and Limefong in ice. Moose flexes out of it and Limefong shatters the ice with his electricity. Pixie grows vines in the ground which hold Moose and Limefong in a knot. Limefong shapeshifts into an elephant in order to grow out of them. He uses his trunk to loosen their grip off Moose.)

Limefong: Speaking of changing into other animals… (Limefong’s paw and fur around him then turn white, a large emerald appears on his forehead along with him growing larger, his shirt and pants ripping as he emerges into his alternate form, Emeraldfong.)

UCP: Looks like this puppy has learnt a new trick. Well, how about you get a taste of this puppy!

(Hank creates crystal shards which he throws at Emeraldfong, EF creates a diamond wall which the crystals shatter at when it is smashed against. EF then pushes the wall at Hank which knocks him over.)

UCP: Alright, you may have taken him down but I’ve only used fifty percent of these guys! So, I’m just getting STARTED!

(Pierre, Pixie, and Bo both attack at the same time, all using their respective powers. Emeraldfong digs underground.)

Emeraldfong: DUCK!

Moose: Oh! (Picks up Shaduck.)

Emeralfong: Good now, DUCK!

(Moose jumps into the hole and the blasts the three stars have sent dodge them. Pixie then creates more vines from where they are in the ground and wrap them up. She then launches them afar and they crash onto the ground. The Spooky Stars walk up to them thinking they’ve been defeated before an emerald is pierced up from the ground.)

Emeraldfong: PSYCH! (He creates an entire emerald dome around them, covering the ground as well. Pierre uses his acid to melt the dome off.)

Emeraldfong: Oh… should’ve thought that through…

UCP: You’ll never beat us!

(Shaduck begins to squirm around.)

Moose: We’re sorry! We need to take down UCP before we can help you.

(Shaduck shakes his head and grabs a small shard of EF’s emerald.)

Moose: What?

(Shaduck scratches into the shard “element”. He holds it in front of the Spooky Stars, his hand and the crystal in focus, then pretends to grab it from himself and the Spooky Stars go in focus.)

Emeraldfong: Oh, I think I get it. UCP is controlling them through their element, we need to take it away from them in order to get them to stop!

UCP: Good luck doing that!

(Emeraldfong knocks Pierre out of guard then encases UCP’s tail and the rest of the group’s legs and arms in emerald.)

Emeraldfong: Now you have no way out!

(Moose runs around them and takes the elements away from each of the Spooky Stars.)

UCP: NO! NO! NO! STOP!

(The Spooky Stars go into the elements, them being their source of life.)

Emeraldfong: Now it’s two against one, and we still have the brain of one… well what was left of it.

(Shaduck frowns.)

Moose: Unfortunately, for you, you’ve lost.

UCP: NO! YOU’LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!

Emeraldfong: That’s not what the bad guys say. You’re supposed to say “this isn’t the end of me” and by the way, yes it is. (He raises the emerald up on UCP until he is nothing else but a shiny green statue.) Heh, and I thought the other two times would be the last of him.

(Shaduck grabs the elements from Moose, he then holds them in his palm and then punches his fist. He then points to Emeraldfong.)

Emeraldfong: Huh?

(Shaduck puts the elements on the ground and throws a rock on top of them, he points the rock and then at Emeraldfong.)

Moose: I think he’s saying that he wants you to destroy them.

Emeraldfong: What?! Really, Shaduck?!

(Shaduck nods his head.)

Emeraldfong: But why?

(Shaduck draws in the dirt, it somewhat represents Magica and then The Spooky Stars, Magica is seen holding a staff and then it blasting the group, with Shaduck adding frowning eyebrows onto the Spooky Stars which make them look evil.)

Moose: This might seem a bit outlandish but I think he’s trying to make out Magica, turning them evil.

(Shaduck nods frantically and then draws a book, he then adds two lines, one connecting to Magica and another connecting to The Spooky Stars looking like this:

Moose: This “spel bok” is both joint by Magica and TSS?

Emeraldfong: So you want me to destroy it cause they're connected to the book, which is connected to Magica.

(Shaduck nods again and he hands the elements to Emeraldfong.)

Emeraldfong: ....are you absolutely sure you want to do this?

(Shaduck nods a final time.)

Moose: It’s for the best, it’ll keep them and everyone else safe.

Becca: (Off-screen) I agree.

(Emeraldfong, Moose, and Shaduck turn around to see Becca, she has regained consciousness.)

Becca: It’s too risky for us to get controlled by Magica again or whoever she might share her spell book with next. We’d do things we regret.

Emeraldfong: I...ok....

(Becca takes her element out, she is reduced to energy as it then enters inside of the element and drops on the ground with the rest of the Spooky Stars’ elements.)

Emeraldfong: If that’s what you want…

(Shaduck turns away, not willing to see the death of his creations as the scene turns into a silhouette, the characters and objects all black whilst the background is a red. EF strikes the elements upwards with an emerald which shatters all of the elements. He turns back into the Limefong as well as the scenery going back to normal.)

Moose: Come on, let’s get you somewhere to relax.

(The scene cuts back to Candle Man and Mystic, they have also regained consciousness now.)

Candle Man: Ughh… no...no...NO! We lost Magica!

(The sky where they are is a gradient of red and purple.)

Mystic: But we know where to find her!

(Candle Man and Mystic then fly up to the sky, where they see Magica in a purple aura, as she is beginning to collect shadows. Mystic covers Candle Man, which covers his shadow. Mystic’s shadow is stolen and give to Magica for her army.)

Candle Man: MYSTIC! (As he shouts her name, suddenly the moon necklace that has been given to him in “Fire in the Blackboard” is seen and it begins glowing.) Huh? (The necklace spins around him and then lands on his neck as he then begins to transform into a completely new form.) Woah…this is so cool… The new look is nice, but let’s see what this thing can really do! (He summons a spiky moon rock.) Dang! (He keeps summoning them until it hits Magica, this makes her release some of her shadows including Mystic’s.)

Mystic: Wuh! Wait, Candle Man? Is that you?

Candle Man: Yeah! And it’s stopping me from going under Magica’s control!

Mystic: This seems like a new alternate form.

Candle Man: Ooh, you think I should name it?!

Mystic: Yeah!

Candle Man: Well, these spikes look like the moon kinda, so how about… Moonlight Candle!

Mystic: Nice ring to it. Now let’s… (beat) actually I don’t have some cool variant of you catchph-

Moonlight Candle: (Coming up with one on the spot.) Let the moonlight shine on!

Mystic: I- actually that works.

Moonlight Candle: Now to take Magica down! (He summons even more spiky moonrocks, growing larger as he makes more. He knocks down Magica with them, releasing even more of her shadows.)

Magica: This is becoming annoying! You know what, new objective. I want that necklace! (She sends more of her shadow army to attack Moonlight Candle but he stabs through all of them, which releases all of them.) NO! Alright, guess I’ll have to do this myself!

Moonlight Candle: Bring it, witch! (Helps Mystic up.)

(Magica blasts at MC and Mystic, MC deflects them. Magica teleports behind them but MC stops her with a stone wall which bashes her backwards. She continues to attempt to come near MC with her teleportation but he repeatedly blocks her.)

Magica: Gah! You little- (She stabs her staff into the ground creating an energy wave that knocks them both over.) Ha!

Mystic: You’re not getting it, it was a gift from my sisters!

Magica: I don’t care who it’s from, I WANT IT!

(Mystic blasts Magica in the face, Magica chains both Moonlight Candle and Mystic so they cant use their arms, Moonlight Candle breaks free using more moonrocks. Magica blasts at them and they deflect off the rocks, the beam bouncing everywhere off every surface.)

Mystic: (Creating some form of a shield with an appearance similar to Rose Quartz’s shield from Steven Universe.) Oh no, you don’t.

(She uses it to get the blast reflected back but as more come they get harder to reflect.)

Mystic: Oh starlight! MC, help me with these!

Moonlight Candle: I gotta have something more looked in here! (He charges up a big light, when he blasts it it wipes out all the lasers.) They're gone!

Magica: Just give me that necklace! (Teleports behind Moonlight Candle and grabs it)

Moonlight Candle: No! You better give that back right (reverts back to Candle Man) now. No! Not now!

Magica: Ha!

(Candle Man runs at the speed of light at Magica, and they both wrestle for the necklace.)

Candle Man: I just figured out how to use it!

Magica: I haven’t used it!

Candle Man: It’s not yours!

(Magica throws Candle Man off, but CM transforms into Lava Man and sends a wave over Magica. She protects herself in a purple bubble and then pops it, sending the lava back.)

Lava Man: W-What?!

Magica: You don’t know a thing about magic, do you?

Lava Man: Well I-

(Whilst Lava Man is distracted, Magica throws Lava Man away with magic, sending him far.)

Lava Man: Gah! (He then looks at a building.) NO, I’M GONNA CRASH! Wait a second… (He generates lava on his feet, which helps him stick onto the building and then uses it as a launching pad to jump off, sending him straight to where the fight was taking place.)

Magica: AAAAAAAAH! GO AWAY ALREADY!

Lava Man: Not until you are no more! (He blasts Magica with lava again but she stops it in place with magic. Lava Man grabs the necklace with it clenched in his fist. Magica puts the top of her staff on the hand Lava Man is holding it in but Lava Man uses his other hand to aim lava at her, leaving them stuck in place.)

Magica: Curse you!

Lava Man: No curse (He realizes that the power from the necklace is literally being sucked into his body) AAAAAAAHHH! GET OUT! NOT WHEN I’M ALREADY AS LAVA MAN! (He ends up as some hybrid between Lava Man and Moonlight Candle, having the lava body while also having MC’s darker color scheme.) Well… this (shakes from the instability of this situation) is weird.

Magica: NO! THE POWER! GIVE IT TO ME!

Lava Man/Moonlight Candle: Honestly I don’t know how. (Notices Magica’s staff still on his wrist.) Hmm, this looks nice. (He snatches the staff away from Magica, the hold turns into a moon grey whilst the top crystal turns orange.) Perfect just like me, I think I’ll use this for my form!

Mystic: Are you kidding me? That could be dangerous!

LM/MC: Oh stop being such a worried blob I’m fine. (Uses the staff to summon her spell book.) Oh, cool.

Magica: NO! NO NO NO!

LM/MC: Hey, Mystic. Wanna help me find a spell to get Shaduck’s powers back and destroy Magica? I think you’d be better at this than I would.

Mystic: Alright, Mr. Unstable. Pass me the book.

LM/MC: Gladly, Mystical. (Throws the book at Mystic.)

Magica: NEVER! (Launches at them and grabs the spell book before Mystic is able to catch it.)

LM/MC: HEY!

Magica: Thanks for the spell book back, moon lava thing.

(Magica teleports to escape, leaving Moonlight Lava and Mystic by themselves.)

LM/MC: Mystic! Pick me up and teleport us to Magica!

Mystic: Not when you're literally lava! I’ll die if I even touch a speck of you!

LM/MC: Wait, really?

(Mystic nods.)

LM/MC: Darn! Guess I’ll just have to-

(He turns into only Moonlight Candle.)

Moonlight Candle: There. Now let’s go!

(Mystic takes him, pulls out the Krystal Galaxia Wand as she looks towards him.)

Mystic: Let’s light it up!

Moonlight Candle: That’s my li-

(The scene cuts to show Magica, when the two teleport behind her.)

Moonlight Candle: Hey, witch!

Magica: GAH! How?!

Mystic: Simple. It’s called magic, drained dunce.

(Moonlight Candle sparks a flame on the wand. As Mystic blasts Magica, it seems she is gone for good.)

Moonlight Candle: Ha!

(Smoke clears from the blast and Magica is seen to be using a protection spell on her and takes her staff back.)

Magica: No matter what you try, you will never be able to take on me. This battle will keep going forever! And now, I will make sure that you never free your friend ever again! (Brings Shaduck, Limefong, and Moose from Hell to where they are.)

Magica: A drained dunce you call me? We’ll see who is drained after I take all of your powers!

Moonlight Candle: Oh yeah?!

Magica: YEAH!

Moonlight Candle: Alright. Bet.

(Magica opens a page in her book, her eyes glowing purple and tries to take the powers from Moonlight Candle, Limefong, and Mystic. Shaduck is seen being taken somewhere else.)

Moonlight Candle: Oh, no… you DON’T! (Creates a spike blocking the paths of each of them.)

Magica: Your pathetic rocks can’t stop me from achieving my goals! (She flys up and blasts at MC, but he dodges the beam.)

Mystic: Moonlight, remember the fight earlier?

Moonlight Candle: Now’s not the time to be reminiscent!

Mystic: No! When she tried to blast you, your rocks were deflective!

Moonlight Candle: So, you’re saying that if I…

Mystic: Use the rocks to deflect Magica’s attack, it will blast her instead!

Moonlight Candle: This is why I love you. (Kisses her on the cheek.)

Limefong: Sorry, interrupt your love birding but right now, WE GOTTA SAVE THE BIRD!

Moonlight Candle: Oh, right. Hey Magica, bet you can’t get me!

Magica: This is quite obviously a trap.

Moonlight Candle: Pfft, what? No!

Magica: Yes it is, why would you mock me? You know this is every cartoon stereotype ever.

Moonlight Candle: Well...I....

(Magica creates a purple electric prison around MC.)

Magica: Anyone else got a clever scheme? Good.

(More moon rocks pop out at random places.)

Magica: What’s that?

Moonlight Candle: I can’t see you! But I will find you! (He digs underground and then up onto Magica, steals her staff and the book.) Say goodnight! Uh, except. How do I use this book!

Magica: Yeah, idiot. What do you know about magic?

(Moose punches Magica down.)

Moose: Now, I know nothing about this kind of thing, but I’ve learnt a good blow to the head gets someone down!

Magica: Oh, you felt so smart saying that didn’t you?

(Limefong slimes Magica down while Moose and him hold her.)

Limefong: Guys! Quickly find a spell in that book to end this!

Moonlight Candle: Come to think of it, why do we need magic to take down this hag? We can just do this the old fashioned way. (Turns back into Candle Man, and lits a flame onto his hand.)

Magica: What? No, you aren’t serious!

Limefong: Trust me, when he gets the fire out, he’s serious.

Moose: Ooh, I’ve never seen Candle Man burn someone to death before!

Candle Man: Stand back everyone!

Magica: Don’t you try!

Candle Man: Oh, I will, gleefully! (He walks towards Magica but she slips her hand out and holds the staff, it glows and she teleports away, but everything else is left behind.) At least she didn’t get the staff.

Moose: Finally, that’s done and dealt with. Now, let’s get Shaduck back to his regular irregular ship shape and be heading back.

Limefong: Yeah. Shaduck?

Mystic: Where did that guy get off to?

Moonlight Candle: Oh, no… Did he die?!

Moose: Please, no!

Limefong: We should try and find him before we properly declare that.

Candle Man: You’re right, Mystic, teleport us there!

Mystic: I can’t carry all of you!

Moose: If only, I had the power…

Candle Man: (Lifting up the spell book.) Hold on, there must be something in this spell book to find Shaduck!

Limefong: You’re right. Go through it!

Candle Man: Alright. (He starts flipping through the pages.) Hm… let’s see here.

Mystic: Can’t you just use Candle Mating Call?

Candle Man: (Facepalms.) Why didn’t I think of that?

Limefong: In fact, you haven’t thought about that in forever.

Candle Man: Limefong. Shut up.

Limefong: Ok, sorry.

Candle Man: SHADUCK DARKBIRD! (A distorted figure comes out before teleporting back again.) What?

Moose: Wait, a second...

Limefong: Uh, try again, I guess?

Candle Man: Shaduck Darkbird! It’s not letting him come here!

Moose: Guys! We shouldn’t do this!

Candle Man: Why not? Shaduck is dying! He could be dead within a few seconds! We gotta find him as long as possible.

Moose: We can’t! He...he wouldn’t…

Limefong: He wouldn’t what?

Moose: I… I can’t say it.

Candle Man: Doesn’t matter, we just have to get to him right now! (Opens the book.) Ugh, this thing is massive! It’ll take ages to find anything that could be of use! Guys, come help me look! At least we can look at it faster.

(Mystic and Limefong walk over to read through the book with Candle Man.)

Candle Man: You look at the left, Mystical. Me and Lime will look at the top and bottom right, respectively.

(They flip through the pages of the book, Moose leans against a wall, looking at them sombrely.)

Mystic: Wait! Look, right there! (Points at a section on the book, it has a spell with “Finding Spell” labeled on it.)

Limefong: Yes!

Candle Man: Alright, hold hands everyone.

(Mystic and Limefong hold hands with Candle Man, Limefong keeps the book up with his telekinesis.)

Moose: I don’t think so!

Candle Man: What?!

Limefong: You’re not telling us something!

Moose: Yes, and I am keeping it that way! (Snatches the book away.)

Candle Man: Give it back!

Moose: I’m getting Shaduck by myself! You guys aren’t allowed to come! ...trust me guys, he would want it like this.

Mystic: Why are you being so weird? Weirder than usual.

(Moose turns around and looks for the spell.)

Candle Man: No! (Runs at speed light for the book but Moose keeps a strong grip on it.)

Moose: What are you doing?!

Candle Man: We have to come!

Moose: No, you’re not! Shaduck doesn’t want you there!

Candle Man: How would you know?!

Moose: BECAUSE I WAS THERE WHEN HE WAS CURSED!

Candle Man: What? Cursed of…

Moose: (Staff falls into Moose's hands and he starts chanting a spell.) Sill de fond um!

Candle Man: WAIT-

(Moose and Candle Man are transported, both of them disappearing from the scene.)

Mystic: So, want to go to the cheese store?

Limefong: What?!

Mystic: You know, so I can get a grilled cheese sandwhich and you can get a pizza.

Limefong: Mystic! Now is not the time to be thinking about food!

Mystic: Why? What’s the urgency?

Limefong: SHADUCK, CANDLE MAN, AND MOOSE ARE GONE!

Mystic: Eh, they’ll figure it out between themselves.

Limefong: WE NEED TO HELP THEM! We don’t even know where they are at the moment!

Mystic: Fine, we’ll go get my sisters then.

(Limefong just glares at Mystic, unamused before splashing slime into her face.)

Mystic: Gah! My hair! My luxurious hair!

(Limefong rolls his eyes. The scene cuts to a house not seen before, Candle Man and Moose fall down into the living room.)

Candle Man: What is this place?

Moose: Is this what I think it is?

Candle Man: What? What are you thinking? What’s happening? Please just tell me!

(Moose shakes his head before walking upstairs.)

Candle Man: Hey! Where are you going?

Moose: I’m trying to find Shaduck! (He gets to the top and opens one of the doors.)

Candle Man: We can’t just intrude on someone’s home!

Moose: If this really is what I think it’s supposed to be then it won’t matter.

Candle Man: Could you just stop being so vague!

Moose: No! That’s the point! You’re not supposed to know. I’ve already said too much.

Candle Man: Ugh.

(Moose opens the door and walks in, Candle Man follows and they find the distorted figure from earlier.)

Moose: SHADUCK!

Candle Man: Wait, that’s Shaduck?

Moose: Don’t worry, I’ll get you back to normal right now. (He flicks through the pages of the spell book.)

Candle Man: Gosh, without his powers he turns into this.

(Shaduck turns away from Candle Man.)

Moose: He doesn’t want you here.

Candle Man: But why? I’m his best friend!

Moose: It goes further back, even than before the war story.

Candle Man: Can I at least help?

Moose: Fine. You can go away.

Candle Man: Ugh. (Walks out of the room and goes downstairs.)

Moose: Finally.

Candle Man: (Sitting on the steps.) Stupid Moose. Not wanting me to help my own friend.

Moose: I HEARD THAT!

Candle Man: Well, I’m right!

Moose: Oh, I know. I can use the finding spell to find the spell! Sill de fond um!

(The book flips to a new page. It has the label “Transferring Powers” as a section title.)

Moose: Hm… let’s see here. Magie lunda!

(Shaduck’s powers are then sent back to him with Magica’s wand and he returns back to normal.)

Shaduck: Phew. Thank you, Moose.

Moose: You’re wel- (Shaduck gives his friend a big hug.) Alright, alright.

Shaduck: Thanks for uh, not telling Candle Man anything.

Moose: Oh, uh, yeah...

Shaduck: What? You didn’t say anything, did you?

Moose: Well…

Shaduck: Moose. Did you or did you not tell Candle Man anything?

Moose: I did tell him that you were cursed…

Shaduck: What?!

Moose: I had to otherwise… they just kept asking!

Shaduck: They?! You told the others as well?!

Moose: Uh…

Shaduck: I can’t believe this! I might as well have just turned back into… out of my way. (He picks up a sheet of paper from the dresser and leaves.)

Moose: Wait! I’m sorry!

(Shaduck hurries down the stairs, and trips on Candle Man who is laying on one of the steps with his eyes close, as he tumbles to the floor, as Candle Man opens a eye.)

Candle Man: Oh my god, Shaduck! Are you ok?!

Shaduck: I’m fine, you guys should go back home now.

Candle Man: But why though? I’m not leaving you here!

(Shaduck teleports Candle Man and Moose back to the Candle House. Limefong and Mystic are also teleported there as well.)

Mystic: Why are we here again?

Candle Man: Shaduck brought us back here.

Limefong: You’re okay!

Moose: About…

Mystic: Where’s the duck?

Candle Man: I don’t know, he took us here but I think he stayed.

Moose: Please, don’t go after him.

Candle Man: But he seemed so serious…

Moose: He is. That’s why you just need to let it go for now, don’t try and get him back. He’ll come back...if he does...in his own time.

Mystic: Yeah, Bot. Let him do his own thing.

Candle Man: Well, alright...

Mystic: Besides, there’s plenty of things for us to do while he’s away. Like trying to get you clo-

Candle Man: NO!

(Scene cuts to Shaduck.)

Shaduck: It’s so different. Ugh, I don’t want to be seen here. In fact, I can find it with the spell book! (He runs back into the house and upstairs.) Alright… (Flips back into the book until he finds the spell.) Alright, good. Sill de fond um! (He teleports out of the house, he finds himself in a room with two creatures, a glowing rock in between them.)

Shaduck: Huh?

Prince: Hey! How did you get in here?

Shaduck: It’s you! Well, anyway, I came here for that!

Prince: A lot of people need this thing. It’s been a whole thing discussed across the world.

Shaduck: No wonder my parents were looking for it. (Lifts up a piece of paper which he had gotten earlier from the house, a document about something called the “Crystalite”.) Prince: Aren’t you supposed to be banned from this place?

Shaduck: Yes, I know I’m banned. I just didn’t know, I’m in Gameopolis.

Prince: Well, you should get going.

Shaduck: Actually, I came here for the Crystalite and I’m here to take it.

Prince: No, you will not be.

Shaduck: I have to, it’s for my life!

Prince: You must leave before I am forced to take you away.

Shaduck: Give me that stone before I fire! (Charges a laser.)

Prince: Very well. (Walks towards Shaduck.)

Shaduck: I warned you! (Blasts at Prince.)

(Prince dodges the blast, but walks past Shaduck.)

Prince: Follow me.

Shaduck: You’re leading me to some sort of trap, aren’t you?

Prince: No.

Shaduck: I’m not that gullible.

(Prince transports the stone away.)

Prince: You want that thing? You must follow me.

Shaduck: Fine.

(The scene cuts to a hidden room in Gameopolis Castle, as Prince turns on a light, as in front of him and Shaduck, lies the Crystalite in a case.)

Shaduck: Whoa.

Prince: This is a private discussion room. We come here to discuss the events of the Crystalite, one of the most powerful artifacts in the multiverse. Right now, it’s powering the land known as…

Shaduck: Chirper…

Prince: Indeed. As of now, many people have been trying to obtain this item as it could give them ultimate power. The Gameopolis kingdom has been keeping it safe from unsuspecting foes, and we’ve been trying to find someone worthy enough to use it and keep it safe.

Shaduck: Me! Me! I can be the worthy one!

Prince: You? No. You’re the one banished from this place, you’re not even meant to be in here right now. I’m doing you a favour. However, you may try and convince a party to partner with you, help you with your current issue.

Shaduck: Okay, but how do I do that?

Prince: It is up to you to decide until then, if you somehow manage to accomplish this task, the Crystalite will remain in our hands. (Closes the case.)

Shaduck: Alright. Have a good day, pill head’s cousin.

Prince: Goodbye. (He opens a trap door, Shaduck falls through it and lands outside of the Gameopolis castle, a sign reading “You’ve visited Gameopolis. Come again soon!”)

Shaduck: Hm. (Pulls out his phone and calls Dewey.)

Dewey: Hey, Shaduck! It’s been a while since we’ve talked.

Shaduck: You bet. Oh yeah, wanna team up?

Dewey: Why? What’s wrong with those guys you usually hang out with?

Shaduck: I’d rather not be with them right now.

Dewey: Well, I would love to team up!

Shaduck: Cool. (Teleports to Dewey) Who else should we get on the team?

Dewey: Uh, what exactly is this team for?

Shaduck: Well, I need to get a special artefact but I need a group of people to get it for me.

Dewey: Hmm. Alright.

Shaduck: So, do you know anyone that could join?

Dewey: I don’t...but how about we check TVland? There’s bound to be some people willing to help ya.

Shaduck: Alright.

(They both teleport to TVLand.)

Dewey: Hey, recently I’ve been watching this show called FFDI! It is about contestants fighting for a prize. Each round someone gets eliminated if their team loses, this is repeated until there is only one winner!

Shaduck: Ok, should we find where they are at so they can be on our team?

Dewey: Yeah!

(Scene cuts to the two of them finding the FFDI cast.)

Shaduck: Look!

Four: Oh, X! As much as it has been fun having this break from a competition I'm sorta starting to miss hosting!

X: Well, Four. Why don't you just start a new competition?

Four: I would but don't know who the contestants should be. These guys deserve a break and I don't think anyone would like a repeat (Points at the remaining post split characters.) and the rest of the contestants are in TPOT!

X: Maybe-

Dewey; Hey, you two! We overheard you struggling and we'd like to propose an idea!

Four: Oh?

Shaduck: We're trying to get something and maybe you could help us get it?

Four: Oh so you want us to start a competition for that?

X: What exactly is this “something”

Dewey: Actually, I don't know. Duck?

Shaduck: Wait a minute, a competition? I don't exactly want to hold a competition for this, I thought we were just building a team!

Dewey: Don’t worry, it's just us two and then I'll let you win it!

Shaduck: Alright then!

Four: You were saying?

Shaduck: It's called the Crystalite and it's one of the most powerful objects in the multiverse.

X: Okay then! How should we start Four?

Four: I don't know, you two got any idea?

Shaduck: We could hold a game in the game centered place!

Four: Which is?

Shaduck: Uh, any of you got a hooded cloak?

(Scene cuts to Gameopolis, the four walk to Prince, Shaduck wearing what he had requested.)

Four: Hello there! We heard you were looking for an opportunity to hold the powerful object known as the Crystalite and I'd like to announce that we could be the ones who can declare who that should be!

Prince: Continue.

X: Me and Four hosts competitions, in each of them, one person will be eliminated! When there is one person left, they will receive the Crystalite!

Prince: Interesting but enough to please our parties? Let's see what the tri-kingdom has to say about it.

(A screen shows up, three icons on it representing the three kingdoms.)

Prince: Now we wait.

(An hour passes, Dewey and X are playing chess, Shaduck is asleep and Four is staring intensely at the screen.)

Dewey: Do you have an idea on how to play this?

X: Nope!

Dewey: Me neither.

(A ding comes from the screen, Shaduck wakes up suddenly.)

Shaduck: Wuzah?

Prince: The results from each kingdom have come through. Let's see the results. Galaxia Omega: Accepted. Gameopolis: Accepted. One reject can terminate this entire operation. Wikia...

Dewey: Hey, I got a notification that says that there will be a competition in Gameopolis.

Prince: NOOOO! YOU STOLE MY THUNDER!

(A black screen appears, it has text on it reading “To Be Continued…”)

## Part 2: Coming Soon!

Sneak Peek below!

Shaduck: Alright, let's start!

Four: (into a speaker) People of the tri-kingdom, be contestants in our competition for the Crystalite!

(In the Candle House.)

Candle Man: Wait, I heard Shaduck’s voice! He must be in Gameopolis! I'm going!

Moose: Wait, I'm coming too!

Whickey: Haha!

Candle Man: Whickey?! What are you doing here?

(Suddenly, someone teleports there.)

Kurswan: Hello there.

Prince: General Kurswan?!

Kurswan: Indeed it is me, the great Kurswan, wielder of the Crystark. I am no general, peasant.

Prince: Heh, I know but you can't be here! We know you want the Crystalite!

Shaduck: (Revealing himself from his cloak.) No! You can’t let that guy in this contest!

Candle Man and Moose: Shaduck!

Kurswan: Oh, hello there, Auddi.

Shaduck: Don't call me that, monster!

Dewey: What's going on?

Four: Form two teams of three!
