A Merry Adventurous Christmas
DuckTales 2017 Christmas Special. If ever Disney plans a holiday special for the reboot, I'll be dying to watch it!
Chapter 1: Chills and Thrills
Winter season. The season where ice is formed and snow has fallen. Here in Duckburg, the whole place is blanketed by snow. In some case, school is cancelled(but really, does it ever happen in real life?)and it will be harder for the inhabitants to get to their workplace. The roads are blanketed and icicles formed on the edges of the roofs, balconies and even at the edge of the signs and billboards.
Now the conditions are chilly and all are expected to be in their winter attire. Snow is soft and kids can make snow angels, build snowmen and engage in snowball fights.(Maybe the gaming industry should do, "Call of Duty: Winter Edition" Ha! Ha! Ha!)
Normally that's what people do but for a group of ducks, they have something else to do regarding...

Treasure.
Already, it cuts to the plane as inside, Launchpad is flying it and behind, "They say the Diamond Mistletoe is one of the most valuable and rarest treasures here on Earth. It's also said to have a hidden power and by acquiring it, I can use it as a Christmas decoration." Scrooge briefed the other ducks. All were amazed by this. "And now, we approach Antarctica where the treasure is located. Make sure you all have your winter attire with you, wear gloves to prevent freezing hands and beware, the ice can be fragile and slippery." He added on as Dewey was full of excitement. "A mistletoe made out of diamonds? Wow, if ever you sell it, you can earn millions!"
"Actually, it's billions. The treasure consists of 10 diamonds and 3 crystal leaves. Unless it's made out of a single diamond, then it's millions." said Huey. "Well smarty pants. What's the difference between millions and billions?" asked Louie. "Millions have 6 zeroes while billions have 9 zeroes." Huey answered.
"In proper English you fool it all." Louie teased. "Hey!" Huey then pounced onto Louie as they wrestled but Donald broke them off. Nearby, Webby is alone looking from the plane window. "Hey, what are you looking at?" Dewey asked as he sat beside her. "Oh nothing. Just wondering about Christmas." She replied. "You ever celebrated Christmas?" asked Dewey. "Not very much. Before you and your brothers became part of the family, Christmas was only celebrated in a way my granny buys me presents and I just opened them to uncover what's inside. That's all."
"Is your grapple gun part of your Christmas gift?" asked Dewey.
"Nope. I ordered it and had it delivered to the mansion." answered Webby.
As they continued chatting, Scrooge and Donald observed them. "You know Donald, I never thought one of your nephews would really be interested with that lass."
"Aaah. You can say that again! Dewey's been hanging out with Webby more often." Donald pointed out and then, thought of something. "Is it just me or it is...
...
...

"Fate."
Scrooge stared at Donald. "Fate? You think it's fate that these ducklings are meant to be-"
Just then, "Hold on everybody! We're reaching Antarctica!" Launchpad reported. "Make sure you give us a safe landing!" Scrooge reminded him as a snowstorm blitzed through.
Soon enough...
On the ice, is a plane that landed and crashed onto it. Outside, "I told you Launchpad, safe landing!" Scrooge reprimanded. "Yeah...well at least I can still patch it up. Besides, it's just ice and I can at least thaw it out off the plane." said Launchpad. "Fine then. You get this sorted out while the kids and Donald accompany me to find the treasure."
"Uncle Scrooge, can I stay with Launchpad?" asked Louie.
"And sit this one out?" He asked. Then, "Well, in that case, those who accompany me to the find the treasure can also join me on a holiday at a ski resort."
That made Louie's eyes grow wide. "Yes, I heard you can ski and snowboard at the mountains, ice skate and play ice hockey at the ice rink, have fun in the snow and ease yourself at the hot springs and sauna and even get a relaxing massage that-"
"Say no more! Let's get this over with!" Louie shouted as he joined in with the others. "Ha! One good way to convince our brother." Huey whispered to Dewey. "But is it real?" Dewey asked via whispering. "Yeah it is, overheard Uncle Scrooge make plans to bring us there." Huey whispered back as in front of them, "According to this map, to get inside, there is a hidden door and a hidden switch. We need to find the switch to activate the hidden door." Scrooge stated as Donald who is shivering a bit despite wearing winter clothes leaned onto the mountain and, "CLICK!"
"Ha! Ha! Brilliant move Donald! Never lost your game huh?" Scrooge chuckled as a hidden door opened up. "I can feel the chilly air around us." said Huey as, "Thrill time!" Webby cheered entering the mountain first. "Wait! Do not-" Too late for Scrooge as a scream can be heard and all the ducks entered in.
Inside the mountain cave or sort...
"Webby! Where are you-WHOA!" Dewey nearly lost his footing in front of him and noticed a hand gripping onto the ice. "I almost lost my grip and now, I'm clinging on to survive." What a relief to see Webby as Dewey got her up and then, "Hmmm...there's no way up. In other words, the treasure is located down." Scrooge noticed. "So we're going down? But there's no way down." Louie exclaimed.
"Unless we make use of these?" Huey noticed a narrow path connected to the side of the mountain's interior that leads to another passage entrance and then, "I see now, the passage and path are linked as the only way down. Narrow they are so watch your footing lads and lass." Scrooge reminded the ducklings as he and Donald went first slidng on the icy path slow and steady when, "WIP!"
"WAAAAAAAAA!" Donald screamed as he slid onto Scrooge and they slid down to see, "Oh great. No end in front of us means, down we go and die." Scrooge exclaimed. Donald panicked until they're about to slide past the passage entrance when Scrooge used his cane and it hooked onto the side of it. He was near the edge as Donald was about to slide onto him but he managed to grab onto Scrooge's coat and managed to gain a footing at the passage entrance helping Scrooge up. "Thanks Donald."
"No problem Scrooge."
"And I forgot all about the slipperiness of the ice."
From above, "I got an idea." Louie slid onto the ice and then, Huey noticed that small cracks are starting to form up. "Not a wise move..." He thought as Louie slid onto Donald's arms. "That was fun." said Louie. "And risky." Scrooge added for he noticed the peril and likewise Louie. "Oops."
Back there, "We'll have to do this the harder way." Huey told Dewey and Webby as he gently slid down slow and steady. Good thing all the ducks are wearing boots that can resist the slipperiness of the ice as Webby went next and then, Dewey.
Halfway there, "Okay, gently slide a bit and-"
"CRACK!"
A small portion of the ice path cracked and fell off. "Careful lad. Step over the gap and don't step on the ice too hard!" Scrooge called out. Nervously, Huey stepped over the gap and then, "Okay...slow and steady..." Soon enough, Huey stepped over the gap. As for the other 2 ducklings, "Piece of cake." said Webby as she stepped over followed by Dewey.
The passage entrance is near as, "Almost there guys." Louie called out. As the remaining ducklings are near, "Oh boy, it'll be over soon enough." Huey thought when he made one wrong step. "CRACK!"
"Ah-oh." said Donald. "RUN!" Scrooge shouted. Huey panicked and reached the area and from behind, Dewey and Webby could see that the path behind is shattering all the way. Immediately, Dewey picked Webby up carrying her in bridal style and slid through the path with his boots as the ice behind him is very close to him as it shatters on.
Once he's near, he threw Webby onto Scrooge who caught her and jumped from a distance, all watched as Dewey landed right...

At the edge. He almost lost grip when he landed onto it but Webby pulled him up. "That's for just now." She stated. "Well that was close. At least we crossed through with no casualties." said Scrooge. "Yeah! It was a thrill to experience and encounter the perils!" Dewey cheered. "I know right!" Webby agreed as they hi-5 each other. Then, "Uh Scrooge? We got a problem." Donald pointed it out as all looked down to see several icy paths and passage entrances. "Definitely a long way down." said Huey. "And at the bottom is the treasure." said Scrooge. "Well, the adventure continues!" He announced as the ducks entered through the passage entrance. "Heh, it seems like it'll continue in the next chapter." said Louie as he entered through last.
"What did you say Louis?"
"Nothing Hubert!"
Yes, the adventure continues in the next chapter. Details will be, this story will have more chapters than the other story I worked on before, and then, first few chapters will be adventure and the rest will be fun and Christmas! Woo-oo!
