halt! who goes there?
it's us uncle scrooge, let us in

since when did he start to act like that?
days ago! he's nervous, agitated and preoccupied. more then usual, i mean. it's like he's possessed

"us" who? what's the password? no one enters this room if he doesn't know today's password. i just know someone's going to try and steal my number one dime, i know it in my bones

the password is trifle and nonsense. let us in uncle scrooge
he's convinced that his dime is in danger and doesn't want to let it out of his sight

how do i know you didn't steal the code and that you are not enemies ready to strike?


scrooge is right to be preoccupied, because a week ago in the palace of circe the witch

boooring

i need entertainment! after ulysses i lost interest for modern men

maybe i need an update
as the richest duck in the world, could you give some advice on how to make money quick to the readers of the "modern slap"?

please! i don't have time to waste with the likes of you
the richest duck in the world! hmm... he HAS to come to me! he won't be able to resist my magic charm

something's not right. i-i feel it
my number one dime. someone wants it

this explains scrooge's behaviour
donald! thank the heavens, i need your immediate help, until the danger has passed

you and the boys need to come with me in a remote place in the aegean sea. it's an ancient uncharted island


elsewhere, in magica's lair

what? circe is charming scrooge towards a cruel destiny?

it's... wonderful la la la

while he's in her grasp, i'll have a great opportunity to...

...steal his number one. but... but...

the number one, it's gone!

scrooge, that old reprobate, he took it with him

circe is the world's greatest witch. this is going to be the end for the number one.
i'll have to reach circe before scrooge does

once i'm there, i'll talk to her about it. as a fellow witch surely she'll help me
thankfully, i have a special emergency one-way travel talisman that will take me there...


...instantly

circe, my lady. the most ancient and powerful among us, i'm magica

i'm asking for a concession

whateve you intend to do with scrooge mc duck, let me have a simple dime, as a way to remember my enemy

scrooge mc duck?

it looks like my interest for the world's richest duck is already spoiling my fun

and so... let the fun begin

only a loving embrace and sincere kindness will break the spell

very improbable on THIS island hahahaha

meanwhile

the first part of our journey is almost over boys, that's the aegean sea

the second part will bring us to a hidden corner of this world

tie the ropes, [some ship jargon], helmsman

aye aye capt'n

what's our destination, uncle scrooge?

an uncharted island

uncharted? how is it possible that an island doesn't appear on today's naval charts?

how do I know?

especially in the aegean sea area?

again, how do I know?

all i know is that i need to reach that island. i-i feel it in my bones

alright, alright. try to relax uncle scrooge

the days go by
i wonder how long it will take uncle scrooge to feel what's the right direction for the island

yeah, that's a big problem

it's going to be hard to bear more than a few months of this boring fun

hey! what's up with these dolphins? i though they were friendly

maybe they're just trying to save you from this shark

watch out for that giant clam uncle donald

holy smokes, heeeeelp

pant, gasp, i was almost eaten alive by a

a rubber flipper and a tamed clam

you should have seen your facew uncle donald

you though that was fun uh? wait until i get my hands on you

bah, you'll never catch the three of us

alright, i'll be satisfyied with just one of you then

grrr, my ire will be terrible, you'll see

it was just a joke. can't you take one?

help, go away

hey

what? can't you take a joke?

uh oh, here comes a storm, we have to go back to the boat

hurry up uncle scrooge, the storm is almost upon us

end part one

here come scrooge, circe got him, but where are the other ducks?

i'll need their help to break the spell circe cast on me

come on! wake up! maybe he passed out

there's only one thing i can do to wake him up, bleh

no daisy, not now

thank the heavens, now we just have to find uncle scrooge, he has to be around here somewhere

somewhere...
so THIS is scrooge mc duck, the world's richest duck? he doesn't seem much. i hope he's worth the effort

how do you know who i am?

i am circe. the greatest witch the world has ever known. nothing can be hidden from me

what?

as long as you continue to amuse me, you'll live. but fail this task and...

you can be the queen of saba for all i care. i have more important things to care about. like find out what happened to my nephews

tsk tsk i expected something more creative from the world's richest duck. or at least something funnier. tickle tickle

funnier? what do you think i am? a dancing cow?

ahahahah

run, save yourselves

meanwhile, on the beach

there's no trace of uncle scrooge

where could he be?

come on, follow me, i know where he is

what's up with that dog?

have you ever seen a more ridicolously looking dog?

i dunno, she's so ugly she almost looks cute. besides, she helped me wake up

"she's so ugly she almost looks cute"? that's a good one

wow, even our junior woodchuck guide managed to reach the shore safe and sound

ah, perfect

hey

they have to follow me know

come back here, you little thief. we need that book

i'll wait for those slowpokes. i wonder why they care so much about this book

stay there, don't move

yeah, stay there so we can get our hands on you

i understand why the want this book, there's more power here than the one contained in the "proper wizard manual"

here, there's all i need

surround her, don't let her get away

good girl, doggy. come to papa

dog noises

she's using morse code! she's barking in morse code

dog noises

it's something about magica and scrooge. she wants us to follow her. come, uncle donald

later

so, that's how it is... circe captured scrooge and turned magica into the world's ugliest dog

all of this just to be amused

magica promised us that if we help her break the spell, she'll help us free scrooge

alright, but just to be sure, i suggest we remove the spell only after we find uncle scrooge

she tracked uncle scrooge's scent

what? but there's only cows in there

ehm, i don't think you fully understand the situation uncle donald

look at that cow

okay huey, i'll keep an eye out while you'll talk to the cow, if it's really uncle scrooge, he'll know morse code

on it

the cow said "you lot of insolent ingrates, i don't pay you 30 cents an hour to prance about with a mutt"

he also said "either you free me from this spell or you can milk me for some extra revenue"

that's uncle scrooge alright. let's free magica from the spell so she can turn him back before he starts squirting milk

ehm, but uncle scrooge, to remove the spell

magica said that you need to hug her and say loving and kind words

what do i have to do it?

because you have to! we are underage and thus unfit for this task

you're right guys, i'll gulp have to

how lovely you are, sweetie pie. i feel kindness and affection for you

that's what you call a hug? did those kind and loving words sound sincere to yu?

come on, this is the world's ugliest dog, remember?

then close your eyes and think about daisy, what would you say? what would you do?

ah, yes yes. my darling, come to me. let me fill your passionate soul with the warmth of a thousand suns...

...suns in a universe where everything that IS it's US, we are slowly fusing in a long moment of uniqueness...

...but it feels like an eternity. before we come back, reborn, like the first mallard and hen

gak urgh argh, for the rest of my life i don't want to suffer like this again

but, daisy likes it

we kept our words magica. now keep yours and free uncle scrooge from the spell

bah, not me, let the cicisbeo do it

alright, as usual, i'll have to do the dirty work

come one uncle scrooge, get yourself together

thank you nephew, i needed that

you're welcome

hey, that wasn't a hug and loving and kind words

i don't think it matters what you say, but how you feel when you say it

suddenly

ahahhahah you should bring your act around, it's formidable

help, she'll turn us into slugs and sell us to a french chef

stop right there witch, i don't know what happened but i think we're allies

come one boys, charge. she can't stop all of us before we get her

wait, wait, i surrender, you win

i'll piece together your boat and i'll let you leave my island, but please don't hurt me

but you have to leave now, before i die of laughter ahahahaha

naturally our next encounter will be much more fun if you won't remember anything about me or my island

what happened?

where are we?

scrooge?

might as well take the occasion to steal your number one scroogie

ah ah ah

keep your hands off my toys, sister

brr, a storm is coming to the horizon boys, i feel it in my bones

END
