Just Magica! Just Magica! Just Just Magica! [magica x donald]

There were so many possible factors to this outcome that it was truly difficult to tell which one was right - or if they were all right at once.

That years of captivity in the dime had taken away the last bits of Magica's humanity.
That someone loving her, even under a false love, was something she'd never had before.
That the spell she used to finally defeat Scrooge cost her sanity.

But in the end, did it matter? Now Duckberg was under the rule of a madwoman, and her reach was beginning to spread. Scrooge and his nephews had managed to escape, if only thanks to Donald's intervention, and he was now paying the ultimate price. The once proud mansion owned by the McDuck family was now a terrifying castle like those of old, and no one could trust their own shadow. Every raven was a spy, every night lasting longer than the one before. No one knew how to remain safe. But even if they were told, they might not believe it.

Because now, instead of revenge, Magica only wanted one thing - and anything that was a threat to it would suffer.

Like, say, ex-girlfriends.

Magica sat upon her golden throne, made out of Scrooge's treasures, conjuring up a spell to search the globe. Once she'd find these silly, stupid women who didn't know a good thing when they had it, she'd get rid of them. One couldn't run the risk of Donald still loving these wretched harpies. No matter where they were, she'd find them, surely she would, and then she'd bring them here, and then she'd take care of them right in front of Donald.

Then he'd see. Then he'd understand, understand how much she loved him, and how if he knew what was good for the world, he'd never love anyone but her.

She cackled deliriously, waving her hand to get a closer look at countries and continents. "Thought you could hide? Not for long..."

He automatically cupped her cheek, even as he felt something inside him freeze.

"The...kiss at the lake?"

He blinked, his thumb gently rubbing her cheek.

"Really?"

He had still been under the impression that she had only been using him then, so he wasn't sure what surprised him more; the fact that she had wanted to kiss him, or the fact that she had wanted it more than revenge against his uncle.

It was exactly that train of thought that had his stomach twisting. If they had kissed that day...could that have stopped all this? Would she have given up her plan? Would she have decided to just...be with him?

Was it really his fault that all this happened in the first place?

He jumped slightly at that, even as he shivered at the sensation. He wasn't sure how she still managed to get him to react to her that way, even after all that happened, but he was starting to worry that she was going to drive him just as mad as she was.

"What, uh...What happened after that? After we...didn't kiss, I mean. What um...What'd you think about?"

He wasn't sure he really wanted to know, but...maybe he needed to.

He winced, then nodded.

“Of course, Mistress.”

[personal profile] allthebadluck 2018-09-09 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oops. He had think quickly for a response, especially because there wasn't really much he really could do.

"I'm...sorry, Mistress. I don't mean to seem ungrateful. It's only because you are so much stronger than I am. All I'm really capable of is being devoted to you."

He swallowed nervously, feeling his stomach twist again as he followed behind her. He'd always been afraid that she would make him do something.

He just hoped he would be able to do it.

It was exactly what he was afraid of.

Swallowing another lump in his throat, he murmured quietly, "...Yes, Mistress." Then he started making his way down the hallway, his heart racing as he tried to think.

Even if he didn't know whether he would see Scrooge again...what could he possibly destroy of his uncle's?

"Yes, Mistress."

As he continued down the hallway, he paused by one of the doors, reading the name of what was kept inside. Then, hesitating just a moment, he slowly opened the door.

Inside the room was what looked like a golden statue, hidden behind the glass of a display case on a pedestal. The statue, despite being gold, looked unremarkable by itself.

But as Donald stared at it, he felt another lump forming in his throat.

"Sometimes Uncle Scrooge keeps things for their sentimental value, no matter what it looks like."

He glanced at her, then eyed the ax. "...Actually, I think a mallet might be easier."
allthebadluck: (29)

[personal profile] allthebadluck 2018-09-09 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thank you." Taking the mallet, he grips it tightly in both hands as he turns to the golden statue.

There was just a moment of hesitation, his own memories of the statue flooding back to him. This treasure was from the very first - and possibly only - adventure that he and Scrooge had gone on together. It hadn't been easy without Della, because the two of them had argued a lot more. But they had still managed to come back triumphant with the idol.

To be honest, he hadn't realized Scrooge had kept it. But after all this...if things were to go back to normal...Scrooge probably would never want to see it again.

His eyes narrowing, he raised the mallet and swung hard, shattering the display case and sending the statue into the opposite wall.

[personal profile] allthebadluck 2018-09-09 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
He wasn't quite done yet, as he brought the hammer down on the pieces of the idol.

To be honest, he wasn't really doing this for her. But all the anger and frustration he had been feeling before had bubbled back to the surface, lighting the fire in him even for just a brief moment.

Because he knew...He knew that even if the world was to be fixed, his uncle would never take him back. Not after the part he played in all of this. And the boys would be ashamed of him, would likely hate him too.

But what made him angriest was his own self-loathing...because he knew he deserved it.

With one last swing, he tossed the mallet into the pedestal, sending both crashing into the back wall. Standing in the middle of the room, he took heavy breaths, just taking a moment to hold on to that fire.

It was all he had left.
