(It starts off with the fire, crackling and burning any remains, the fire slowly die down, revealing the destroyed plane and the bodies of Ms. Beakley, Launchpad McQuack, Huey Duck, Dewey Duck, Louie Duck, and Webby Vanderquack. The plane exploded from falling straight to the ground, but the plane wasn't the only cause of the deaths of the mains. Some of them had gun and knife wounds, Launchpad was shot by the head, and Dewey was slashed in the neck, was shot in the head, and was stabbed in the back, with the katana sticking on his back. It flashes to the manor where Donald Duck, now dead, is floating on the pool as the camera panes to inside the manor with the mirror, covered in blood, and Scrooge McDuck, now dead on the floor, holding a gun. On the table, it had a note, with blood on it. It cuts to the funeral where the remaining characters are mourning for the death of the main ducks. It was raining and some of them have flowers in their hands. Goldie o’ Glit didn’t show any emotions. Paul Quacker, an officer, puts the flowers on the grave.)
Paul Quacker: I'm so sorry, Scrooge. I hope you rest in peace...
(They then left the grave, in sadness. As they left, some stayed.)
???: Should've stayed where you were...
(They left too. It cuts to 12 1/2 days later when the alarm went off. A raven hair figure wakes up and opens his eyes as he gets up. His room is dark and is almost empty.)
???: ... (He checks the calendar where it shows that it's time for his interview with Flintheart Glomgold and him to move to Duckburg.) Today's the day... I guess... (sighs) If I can't get this job, I have to go with Seth's job plan. (the paper shows "Plan B: Go paint watching or watch the neighbors' plant") They'll be worth it...(He gets his clothes, walked to grab the boxes on the floor and put them in his car. M.C. then calls Seth Damon) Look, I’ll be moving into the apartment where you lived. I know it’s a small place but it’s the only option on where to move… Plus, what’s wrong with a place with couches and office in the entrance, a hot tub, a pool, and that one room you mentioned. … About my what ? ... (rolls his eyes and then takes a deep breath) Seth, I'll be fine, sure I have a fear of clo- (stops and continues) And I’m schizophrenic, but I’ll make the most of it. Plus, they say it’s a peaceful and perfect place to live. And that is a tongue twister. I still can't believe I'm going back to my childhood hometown. I'll see what I missed, how everything changed when I left, maybe I'll make new friends, and I'll even find a therapist to help me with my disorder. And maybe... Just maybe... I'll reunite with my childhood friends... Gotta go, Seth. (hangs up, looks at the picture of Della and Donald when they were young) Can't wait to see you guys again...
(He then got into his car and drove from Anneville, passing the “You’re now leaving Anneville… See you real soon!”, to Duckburg, passing the sign “Welcome to Duckburg!” as he looked around the said city. In Duckburg, things have changed since he moved out from there. As he drove, he could see that something was off. The environment seems low and cloudy and some are smiling and have moved on and some are just saddened but are trying to move on. In the right by the stoplight, he could see that a female duck is putting up a poster about a rumor in Duckburg. M.C. looked at the girl with brunette hair and then thought to himself “Wait, they never told me about her randomly putting up these posters nor the environment…”. He was about to ask her when the light turns green. He sighed and drives to the interview as he decided to walk around town later on. As he looks around to see what else has changed, he saw that he’s now at Glomgold Industries and stops the car. He got out of the car and took a breath.)
???: Well, here I go...
(Inside the office, a short Scottish CEO spun and looked at the figure.)
CEO: Alright, Mr. M.C. Tristan. Is that correct or are you tryin’ to keep your real name a secret just to work for me?
M.C.: Well, it is my name but I’m only called that by my closest people… My name is actually Mercury-
CEO: Mercury?! I’m guessing that your parents had a thing for planets.
M.C.: Actually, my mom did have that interest but my dad was different since-
CEO: I don’t want to hear it. Are we gonna do this interview or just talk about your name and parents?
(M.C. sat right back down.)
CEO: Anyways, why do you want this job?
M.C.: Well, I was told by someone I knew back in Anneville, saying that there was a job interview opening so, I knew that I had to go there since I was moving to Duckburg at the same time. Isn’t that a coincidence?! (laughs)
CEO: Right… Do you have any weaknesses? If ya do, I won’t laugh nor insult you.
M.C.: Well, I kinda have a fear of clocks and couldn’t even look at it without having a mental breakdown…
CEO: (laughs) Sorry, but fears of clocks?! God! I can’t stop laughin’ from this statement. But, I’m willing to take out any clocks to avoid your mental breakdown.
M.C.: Okay.
CEO: Do you have a family?
M.C.: N-no! None, yet.
CEO: (stares at M.C.) Good, good, just checking… Otherwise, I would’ve been reminded by someone I used to know…
M.C.: Wait, who?
CEO: (doesn't answer the question) So, why don’t you talk about yourself?
M.C.: Well, I was actually born in Duckburg but had to move from this town all because of my dad was as my mom would put it, a little quacked up in the head, but she still loves him. We never had any family moments because of my dad’s condition but they never neglected me. But they never told me how they met and how they got marry...
CEO: I see… Well, I don’t have any more questions. So, I guess you’re hired. Welcome to Glomgold Industries, Mr. Tristan.
M.C.: Gee… Thanks, Mr. Glomgold…
CEO: (takes out a file) However, you might be given task, even if you’re new here. (gives file) Take it...
M.C.: (reads) ‘Many Reasons Why Flintheart Glomgold is the Richest Duck in the World’? Umm… I don’t know, sir. I mean isn’t it narcissistic?
Flintheart: No, it’s more of a self-promoting... But in all seriousness, you should get going and work on this or else!
M.C.: Y-yes, sir, sorry sir!
(M.C. quickly ran out of Flintheart’s office and was about to run back to the car when he bumps into a worker with glasses.)
???: OW! WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING! GOD!
M.C.: Sorry, I just need to get to the car to unpack some stuff for where my new house is.
???: Well, watch where you’re going next time… Say, you must be the new intern…
M.C.: No, I’m the new worker here…
???: Whatever… My name is Gyro Gearloose if you’re going to ask who am I… But call me Dr. Gearloose.
M.C.: I’m M.C. Tristan… But I would tell you my full name-
Gyro: Look, I can’t deal with anyone right now. I already had to deal with two horrible incidents and now I have to deal with a worker whose possible habit is bumping into people!
M.C.: Look, I was sorry. I was in a hurry- Wait, incident? What happened? Did anyone got hurt? Did anyone die? Who were the victims?!
Gyro: Did anyone died, you say?
M.C.: Uh, yes...
Gyro: (takes a sad breath) Look, I know you’re being a bit nosey but let me tell you this. Those two incidents are… just too hard to talk about… And even if I did-
M.C.: What? Why did you stop? You know you can always tell anyone…
Gyro: Uhh… FORGET WHAT I SAID EARLIER! (leaves)
???: I’m sorry about Dr. Gearloose. He’s not usually like that before.
M.C.: Well, that explains his attitude…
???: So, you’re new here right?
M.C.: Yes… I was told that this town is known for its… nature.
???: True, true. I’m Fenton by the way.
M.C.: Nice to meet you, F-Fenton… I preferred to be called M.C…
Fenton: Nice to meet you too, M.C., it’s great to see another intern here.
M.C.: Actually, I’m here as a worker, but same here. I just got one question…
Fenton: Sure, what is it?
M.C.: What does he mean by ‘incident’?
Fenton: What incident? There was no incident! Gyro was making this up just to confuse you!
M.C.: I don’t think he was making this up.
Fenton: He was! Really! It’s not like it’s true!
