It was a dark and stormy night. The rain poured down hard and the wind picked up strong gusts. The lightning flashed and the thunder crashed. As we took a look over at a city so beautiful, the streets were quiet and buildings stood tall and nothing was disrupted. In a nearby dark alleyway where some of the lights on the building were flickering, we saw a tent in the alley and it was blown away by the wind revealing a 17-year-old boy who was wearing a torn-up silk robes, a top hat, torn-up casual pants, work shoes and holding a cane. Unfortunately, he's suffering from depression.

????(Y/N): *Sniffling and crying as he moved under a very small shelter*

Y/N: "Yup, poor guy. Well you're not going to believe this, but this high-school-ish looking boy once had a good life. But he's not really a normal human being, he was rich. The richest man in the world. Oh yeah!"

????(Y/N): *Still crying as more rain fell down on him and from the un-supported shelter and slipped. He got up and hid himself in a large cardboard box*

Y/N: "This is his story. Well, actually my story. That's right, I'm that guy who's soaking wet from the rain and depressed. My name is Y/N, but my last name is McDuck, Y/N McDuck. You know, like Scrooge McDuck, the richest duck in the world? Well, Scrooge is actually my adoptive father and I used to be with him, but not anymore. If you're wondering why am I out here on such a dark, cold, gloomy and stormy night? Well... it's hard to explain, but here's what happened before I came here to this city and it'll all make sense."

What happened earlier...

This is Mount Vesuvius. It is the home of an evil witch, called Magica De Spell. She and Flintheart Glomgold have Scrooge where they want him. Scrooge has beaten up real badly as glared at the two villains with anger while they're holding Y/N hostage.

"Magica De Spell!" (Evil Enchantress!)

"Flintheart Glomgold!" (Second richest duck in the world & Scrooge's evil arch-rival!)

Y/N: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Magica De Spell & Flintheart Glomgold. My father's greatest enemies. As you can see, I fell for one of Magica's schemes, so she used me to lure my father to her home. She & Glomgold had enough with Dad's antics for the past many years now. Now my father is in serious trouble, and here's the worst moment I've ever witnessed."

Glomgold "Well, McDuck, looks like it's curtains for you and for your son.

Scrooge: *Grunts in pain* "Well, you two drive a hard bargain, Glomgold! Both of ye, release me son at once!"

Magica: "Not until you give me your Number One Dime, Scrooge."

Scrooge: "...All right, Magica. Before I give it to you, I want to say one last goodbye to me only son."

Y/N: "Dad! No! Don't do it!"

Magica: "Aw, Boo-Hoo. Isn't this so sad? Well, since you gave us a good mood today, we'll let you spare your last moment with your son."

Sure enough, Magica released Y/N and he ran over to Scrooge.

Y/N: "Dad!

Scrooge: "I'm sorry, son. I failed you and my family big time. It's for you to go now."

Y/N: *Shedding tears* "I don't want to lose you."

Scrooge: *Hugs his son, Y/N* "I'm dreadfully sorry, son. Truly I am."

Unaware of Y/N and the villains, they didn't see that Scrooge put his Number One Dime in Y/N's pocket without knowing

Scrooge: "Run, Y/N! Run! Launchpad's waiting to take ye to safety!"

Y/N: "I'm not leaving you!"

Scrooge: "You have to, but don't worry about me, lad. Just remember, I love you, no matter if you're a duck or not."

Y/N shed more tears as ran away to find his way out of Mount Vesuvius to Launchpad, leaving Scrooge behind as gave Magica an ordinary dime. Fortunately, fooled Magica entirely.

Magica: "Thank you, Scrooge. I guess I don't need anything else for you anymore! Goodbye, Scrooge McDuck!" *Laughs Evilly*

Glomgold: "It's been nice knowing ya, Scroogey!"

Within seconds Magica used her powerful magic to kill Scrooge and finally... the devious dirty deed was done. Y/N witnessed it all.

Magica: *Laughing wickedly* At long last, the Number One Dime of Scrooge McDuck is finally mine!

Glomgold: *Laughing wickedly* Now I, Flintheart Glomgold, am the richest duck in the world alive! I guess Scroogey is the richest duck in the undead world! Too bad his family can't do anything about it.

Y/N: "I'm afraid he jinxed it. Magica and Glomgold didn't realize I'd witnessed my father's demise by those two heartless murderers. As I got to Launchpad, I told him the grim news and soon reached Duckberg. My family was hosting a funeral of my father's death. I feel mostly guilty and responsible for this and I felt my family will never forgive me, but I was wrong..."

A few days later...

Y/N: "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Auntie Della Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie's long lost mother and young twin sister of my uncle Donald Duck. At first, my father and cousins believed that he was to blame for her disappearance, but ten years later, she survived ever since her blast off. Hard to believe, she is mostly a daredevil like Dad. After the funeral of Scrooge McDuck, she and the others began to worry about me ever since my father was murdered. She entered my bunker room that night as I was sulking in shame and depression in my bed."

"Della Duck!" (Daredevil Adventurer and Niece of Scrooge McDuck!)

Della: "Y/N? Are you okay?"

Y/N: "......."

Y/N didn't say a word. Della was worried about this. Losing her Uncle Scrooge is one thing, but losing her nephew from depression could make it worse. As she sat down next to him, she spoke out.

Della: "Y/N, I know we lost Uncle Scrooge, but it wasn't really entirely your fault.

Y/N: "...No, Aunt Della. It's entirely my fault. I was the one who fell for Magica's scheme and Dad's gone because of me."

Della: "Don't say thay, Y/N. Nobody in this family blames you. Not even Uncle Scrooge's employees. Everyday the boys, Webby, Mrs. Beakley, Launchpad, even my brother Donald are really worried about you.

Y/N: *Looks at the portrait of Scrooge* ".....I wish Dad didn't sacrifice himself."

Della: "I know, but I think it's time you need to accept it. If Uncle Scrooge is gone, perhaps it's time for you to take his place. Mrs. Beakley says that you'll have to claim as Y/N McDuck, the descendant of the McDuck and the richest duck in the world."

Y/N: "......."

Della: "Don't worry about it right now, (Y/N). I think you need some rest. Do you want to hear my lullaby you heard when you were just a baby?"

Y/N: "No thank you, Aunt Della. I need some time to think about it."

Della: "Okay. Good night, Y/N."

Y/N: "Good night."

As Della exited the bunker, Y/N laid back on his bed and remembered that Scrooge left his three cubic acres of cash. He didn't really want that, he's not interested in the inheritance. As he put his hands in his pockets, his right hand felt something, a coin. He took it out and it turned out to be a dime, but it's not just a dime it's Scrooge's Number One Dime earned!

Y/N: "Dad's Number One Dime?!?! How did it-"

Y/N: "It was that moment I realized my father put his first dime ever earned in my pocket while he gave his last hug to me since he accepted his death. It was clever of him, but I'm not sure if it was a good idea."

Y/N: "...Dad. *sigh* Can this get any more worse and complicated?"

Y/N: "Yep. I jinxed it as I turned the TV to watch something to clear my mind, the Duckburg news channel was on with something tragic to listen to."

News Anchorduck: "It was indeed a very sorry day when wealthy capitalist, Scrooge McDuck, was murdered by his two enemies, Magica De Spell & Flintheart Glomgold. The only witness who observed and reported this grim story was Mr. McDuck's only son, Y/N McDuck, the only last member of Clan McDuck and legally the richest in the world. In addition, with McDuck Industries having no CEO, Y/N McDuck is the light of hope for his clan and company's survival. Magica De Spell & Flintheart Glomgold have taken the gravest risk of becoming international criminals. People are advised that if they see sights of Magica De Spell and/or Flintheart Glomgold, please stand clear of them and report this to law enforcement and if they happen to watch this, they're highly recommended to turn themselves in immediately."

Y/N shut the TV off and began regretting making his biggest mistake yet.

Y/N: "...Oh no... If those two watch this, they'll kill me! I gotta get out of here before they'll find me!

Y/N: "I got onto my laptop and began to buy an airplane ticket to a flight somewhere far away from Duckburg where Magica & Glomgold wouldn't even try to find me. I looked at the flights, some of them were too cheap and some were too expensive. Just as I was about to give up, I saw a plane ticket in stock for free of charge."

Y/N: "A free plane ticket? This has to be another one of Magica's schemes or normal scams."

Y/N checked to see if the plane ticket really is a scam, and after a few minutes it wasn't a scam after all.

Y/N: "Okay, definitely not a scam.

Y/N: "Honestly, who put this free plane ticket in stock? Anyways, I looked carefully to see where the flight was going."

Y/N: "CN City? Miami, Florida? I've heard Miami is a tropical playground, but what is CN City? If it takes me far away from Magica & Glomgold, then it's my best bet. I hope my family understands it."

Y/N ordered his plane ticket and his flight will be ready within a week. As he packs his clothes, personal belongings and his father's Number One Dime, he feels sorrow and regret for doing this and remains hidden in his bunker until his flight is ready.

Meanwhile, on Mount Vesuvius...

Magica felt very proud of herself now that she and Glomgold murdered Scrooge and she got his 'Number One Dime.'

Magica: *Gazing at the dime* "Oh, Scrooge. It makes me simply sad that you gave up your life by giving me your dime. On the bright side, you won't be around to see that I use your dime to gain it's powerful magic to help me over the world!" *Laughs evilly*

Magica used her magic on the dime to absorb it making her the most powerful sorceress. Unfortunately... it backfired.

*KABOOM*

Magica was covered in ashes and looked at the dime in frustration and confusion.

Magica: "Impossible! This dime was given to me by Scrooge McDuck! His-"

It was at this moment that Magica looked at the dime closely and it was NOT really Scrooge McDuck's Number One Dime. It was an ordinary dime!

Magica: "Scrooge! That fool gave me an ordinary dime instead of his Number One Dime! That greedy foolish deadman! What else can go wrong?!"

Y/N: "Yep. Magica jinxed it."

Magica's crystal ball showed her the news that broadcasted all over the world earlier today.

News Anchorduck: "It was indeed a very sorry day when wealthy capitalist, Scrooge McDuck, was murdered by his two enemies, Magica De Spell & Flintheart Glomgold. The only witness who observed and reported this grim story was Mr. McDuck's only son, Y/N McDuck, the only last member of Clan McDuck and legally the richest in the world. In addition, with McDuck Industries having no CEO, Y/N McDuck is the light of hope for his clan and company's survival. Magica De Spell & Flintheart Glomgold have taken the gravest risk of becoming international criminals. People are advised that if they see sights of Magica De Spell and/or Flintheart Glomgold, please stand clear of them and report this to law enforcement and if they happen to watch this, they're highly recommended to turn themselves in immediately."

Magica was furious indeed.

Magica: "Well played, Scrooge McDuck. You made a complete fool and an international criminal out of me, but I will get your son and your dime if it's the last thing I do!"

Meanwhile at Glomgold Industries HQ...

Inside Glomgold's office, he was celebrating the demise of his rival, Scrooge.

Glomgold: *Gloated evilly* "Now that McDuck is out of the way, I, Flintheart Glomgold - am now the richest duck in the world and there's nothing anybody can do about it."

Y/N: "Unfortunately, he jinxed it."

Glomgold didn't realize he made a big mistake as he turned on TV to hear the news that he's now the richest duck.

News Anchorduck: "It was indeed a very sorry day when wealthy capitalist, Scrooge McDuck, was murdered by his two enemies, Magica De Spell & Flintheart Glomgold. The only witness who observed and reported this grim story was Mr. McDuck's only son, Y/N McDuck, the only last member of Clan McDuck and legally the richest in the world.

People are advised that if they see sights of Magica De Spell and/or Flintheart Glomgold, please stand clear of them and report this to law enforcement and if they happen to watch this, they're highly recommended to turn themselves in immediately."

Glomgold: "What?!? That's impossible! I should be the richest duck, not McDuck's wee son! Ugh! What else could go wrong?"

Just then, Glomgold's office phone rang. As he answered...

Glomgold: "Flintheart Glomgold speaking."

Clerk: "M-M-Mr. Glomgold, sir, you have visitors who would like to speak to you."

Glomgold: "And who are these visitors?"

(Duckburg Police Department Officer) D.P.D.O. : "Flintheart Glomgold, this is the Duckburg Police Department. Please report downstairs to us and will turn you in. This is your only warning."

Glomgold: *Hangs up* "Blast me bagpipes, that meddling son of that rotten McDuck has got me in a wild duck hunt! Well, I guess I have no choice but to leave! If I ever run into that young pesky rascal, I'll give him a real good talking too, then Clan McDuck will fall before Clan Glomgold!"

Sure enough, Glomgold sneaked his way out without getting caught by the police, but he didn't succeed and was immediately spotted.

D.P.D.O. #1: "Chief! There he is! Flintheart Glomgold, murderer of Scrooge McDuck!"

D.P.D.O. Chief: "Halt! Stand down! Put your hands up!"

Glomgold refused and as the police fired their guns at him, he made a break for it in his private aircraft and disappeared, leaving no trail behind.

D.P.D.O. #2: "Darn it! He got away!"

D.P.D.O. Chief: "Save your energy, soldier. This duck hunt has just begun. Alert the Capital, we have a greedy, bloodthirsty duck on the loose."

A week later...

Since Glomgold escaped from Duckburg a week ago, he became the most wanted international criminal in the world. At McDuck Manor, Mrs. Beakley was in charge of the place since Scrooge passed away. The only thing she's worried about besides keeping her family safe and everything else up and running is Y/N because she knew that he's been hidden in his bunker for a week straight. As she entered the bunker...

Mrs. Beakley: "...Mr. Y/N? I know Mr. McDuck gave his life to save us, but I'm starting to address you as Mr. McDuck since you're now the new CEO...?"

Mrs. Beakley noticed that Y/N was nowhere to be seen. Then she turned to his bed where she found a note and once she read it, she couldn't believe it.

In Scrooge's Office, everyone in Scrooge's family gathered in front of Scrooge's desk. Scrooge's family includes Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webbigail, Donald and Della. Launchpad McQuack, Scrooge's pilot and Darkwing Duck's alley, is also present.

Huey: "Mrs. Beakley, why did you call us here?"

Dewey: "Is it something that has to do with Y/N?"

Louie: "Yeah, what is it?"

Mrs. Beakley: "...He left this note which reads as follows:

"Dearest family and friends,

These last several years have been the best of my life, but I'm afraid things must move on right now. Ever since the death of my father, Scrooge McDuck, things are not just the same without him. To make matters worse, I've alerted the officials about Magica & Glomgold that they're the murderers and the news immediately spreaded all over the world. The main reason I left is because if they watched the news story a week ago then they'll get me and Father's Number One Dime. I regret that the only safe way is to leave Duckberg and never come back. It's best for the future of McDuck industries and your safety. I'm extremely sorry, but I have no other choice. I hope we can see each other again sometime in the near future. Goodbye, but not forever."

"Sincerely, Y/N McDuck."

Everyone in the room was shocked in disbelief.

Della: "Y/N's gone!?!"

Donald: "What!? Oh no!!"

Huey: "Why didn't he tell us before?! He could've said something!"

Dewey: Where can he possibly be?"

Mrs. Beakley: "Everyone, simmer down! We'll find him! Launchpad, we'll send out a Search and Rescue team. Can you help us?"

Launchpad: "No sweat, Mrs. Beakley. I'll search all around the globe to find Y/N before you know it."

Mrs. Beakley: "I'll alert the officials, the rest of you will go with Launchpad. I'll contact Fenton and Gyro to assist your search."

Della: "Sounds fair. We're gonna need all the help we can."

Webby: "I hope Y/N's okay."

Donald: "Believe me and Della, if he can survive an adventure with Uncle Scrooge, he can survive an adventure of his own!"

Louie: "I hope Magica and Glomgold won't find him before us."

Della: "Don't worry, Louie. They won't. I just hope that Y/N is not too far away from Duckburg."

Meanwhile...

At the Duckburg Airport, Y/N was wearing a black cloak where no one would see or recognize him. Once the announcement for flight for CN City, Miami, Florida was announced, this was Y/N's big step out from Duckburg on his own and into a life. As Y/N sheds tears unnoticed, he boards the plane in a crowd of passengers. Once everything was loaded up, Y/N's airplane took off as he looked out the window and sighed sadly as he saw the city of Duckburg one last time and headed for a new life in a new city.

Y/N: "Well, I know what all of you are thinking, me leaving home without saying goodbye to my friends and family. All of you asking me, "Y/N, why didn't you just stay, your friends and family are still strong even without Scrooge McDuck!" Well, there's a lot that doesn't make sense. Anyway, I think you guys heard enough of why I left Duckburg. I'll continue the story the next time we meet. Until next time..."

To be continued...
