The Crew of the Venture

The Crew of the Venture is a protagonistic group led by Zachary Delightful as they fight for the world and their lives as Zachary injected them in the necks with a nanite bomb that will harm them in any way upon trying to escape.

Preliminary
After Sherman's exposure as the killer and Scrooge McDuck's subsequent reveal as the man behind the deaths, Zachary enlists Aiden Romero, Meeko, Piper Willowbrook, Woodstock, Kiko, Splinter, Gale J. Griffin, Martha Wayne, Dr. Animo, Pickle Rick, Plagg, Red, Luke Skywalker, Gax, Mowgli, Chloe Bear, Zoe Lawton/Rena Rouge and Professor Raize Utonium to defeat the remains of Grizzly Empire with Zachary injecting nanite bombs into the necks of every member present barring the corporeal Aiden. Unfortunately, Woodstock and Meeko defect from the team and are killed for their trouble making them the first casualties to ever be on the side of good. The remaining members head into a jungle where Mowgli falls prey to Scrooge's trap and has his soul asleep for all eternity thereby killing him, making him the first Venture Crew casualty and showing an example for the members of the crew. They nonetheless remain undeterred and go on a helicopter ride to Macaw but things go awry as Plagg is abruptly killed by a now-deranged Blu who subsequently murders Animo in cold blood. Thankfully, Utonium manages to transform into a superhero known as Spider-Guin thereby fulfilling his wish and saving everybody else present.

Adventures with Zachary Delightful
Being horrified and disgusted with Scrooge's actions, they warm up to Zachary, as he does with them with Pickle Rick being temporarily recruited to the crew with Chloe Bear being reinstated along with him. Along the rest of the trip, the remaining members still find themselves in several mishaps, but each setback only strengthens their relationship with Piper Willowbrook and Luke Skywalker going physical.
