Episode Title:
"Moonvasion"

Ah, Della,

what can I do for you
on this beautiful morning?

Uncle Scrooge,
remember how great you felt

when I came back from the moon
after all those years?

All the unconditional love?

More than
you'll ever know, lass.

I'll remember
that feeling always.

Great.

I need you to really
hold on to that feeling.



Curse me kilts!

Is that the Spear
of Selene?!

You promised
you wouldn't be mad.

The rockets
touched down just minutes ago.

It's still not clear
what they want,

but authorities urge everyone
to remain calm...

Come on, Carl.

All of Duckburg watches

as authorities send in
their top man.

Okay, Fenton,
it's just first contact

with life from beyond the stars.

Momentous.
Cosmically historic.

Totally manageable.

Uh, hi! We're Earth.

And you are?

Mm-mm! Mmm...

Oof! Maybe I misheard
Penny's invasion warning.

Lot of static in space.

Gizmoduck, watch out!

Ha-ha!

We are the mighty!

We are the Moon!

Aw, phooey.

Huh?

Run! Run! Look out!

Faster, Beakley!

The Bin is
the most secure place in town.

Dewey, this is it.

Saving Earth is
my dew-stiny.

Come face the chosen one!

Nerp.

Why are they doing this?!

They liked me so much!

Enough!

I have a plan.

Gyro! It's time.

Unleash...
the Unstoppa-Bomb.

The Moonlanders, um,

already found that
and stopped it.

What?
Uh, alright, then...

Activate the Doomsday Ray.

That was like,
the first thing they took out.

Okay.

I swore I'd never have
to initiate our worst weapon...

And you never will,
because they destroyed that too.

This was
a very well-planned invasion.

Greetings, puny Earthers,

I am General Lunaris

of the vastly superior
Planet Moon.

The moon's not a planet...

Yeah, it's
a whole thing with them.

For too long,
my people have lived in fear

of your Earth
hanging in the sky.

The time has come
for the Earth to fear us.

I now wish to speak
to Scrooge McDuck.

"Smarter
than the smarties," eh? Heh.

Perhaps on Earth.

You scurrilous
space scoundrel!

You've probably
just realized

that I've taken out
your defenses.

And you've retreated
to the strength

of your impenetrable
"Money Bin".

What you don't know
is that family...

But as we all know,
your family is

the greatest strength of all.

Which is why
I'm coming for them next.

Lunaris... has arrived.

We need to call for help.

Unless Lunaris took down

our communication
satellites too.

Uh, no. Louie did.
That was last week!

I didn't know there'd be
an alien invasion this week.

I may have a solution.

Lil' Bulb's Bulb-Tech
operates on its own network.

They can talk to each other
like walkie-talkies.

Find our allies!

Go, children.
Like the wind!

Uncle Scrooge,
Lunaris is coming for our family.

We have to do something.

Kids! Great news.

We're gonna heroically
face-off against the enemy?

Better!
While Gyro's Bulbs

search the town for fighters,
we're gonna search the globe!

I need Webby's skills,
Dewey's gusto,

Huey's know-how, and Louie?

I need you to see
the angles I can't.

I won't let you down, Mom.

To the Cloudslayer!

C'mon!

Mr. McDee needs me!

Why won't this start?

Oh, right... fire.

I am the terror
that flaps in the night!

I am the scream
you can hear in space! I am...

Anything dangerous in there?

Nah. Just some purple weirdo.

Move out!

Whaddyamean,
purple weirdo?!

Darkwing! You saved me!

This is Scrooge
McDuck, calling all forces to the Bin!

Ah, a call to action.

The city needs a savior and...

Repeat, all forces to the Bin.

Good idea.
You be my ears

so I can focus
on defending the people.

This is Scrooge McDuck,
calling all forces to the Bin!

This is Scrooge McDuck,
calling all forces to the...

What the craters is this?

Huey to Uncle Scrooge.

Our top secret mission
is underway.

Good thing
this is a secure line

or the Moonlanders
would know we're in...

I repeat,
we are approaching Egypt.

And our first stop:
the Temple of Toth Ra! Ugh!

We'll bring Amunet's army of
living mummies back to Duckburg.

My sources tell me our pal Djinn
is in the area too.

A regular ol' twofer.

Good thinking.
All part of the plan.

Huey, got
those bulb phones ready?

Mm, yeah...
Working on it!

There's the pyramid!

Perfect. We swoop down,

pick up our forces,
and get back to Duckburg...

before the invasion can...

..spread.

- H'boy. - H'boy. - H'boy.
- H'boy. - H'boy.

No. No.

Djinn, Amunet, it's Huey Duck.

You guys okay down there?

We'll be fine!

Moon, Sun,

or the North Star itself,

nothing will prevent me
from upholding my...

Ooh! My haunches!

Don't worry,
we're coming for you!

Where are the rest
of your people?

Safe in the pyramid.

Dewey, Webby,
watch for lasers.

Mom, take us down!

No, Ma, lower.

Go down.
No, the pyramid's the other way.

There's no place to land.

There's a spot.
There's another spot.

In fact, it is
mostly flat desert out there.

Djinn and Amunet can't
hold back them much longer.

The Moonlanders
will invade the pyramid!

But... what about the plan?

Reinforcements and...?

We'll find them
some place... safer.

I can't
believe we defeated a sun god

only to be attacked
by moon people.

If only there was some kinda,
I don't know, moon god.

Or goddess!

To Ithaquack!

We could sternly
ask them to leave.

Buddy, you are
a waste of magic.

Simple solution: clone army.

Why are we even still talking?
I'll get the clone spray.

Meantime, we throw Gizmoduck
out there as a decoy.

You hurt him, I hurt you.

Ha-ha! Thank you

for your concern,
random citizen!

Fenton, I'm a detective
and your mother.

I know you're Gizmoduck.

M'Ma! Secret identity.

What we need is a symbol
to strike fear in their hearts.

Smoke bomb.
An unknown figure appears.

Who's that?
Lightning! Chaos! Drama!

They surrender immediately
to Darkwing Duck!

I'm sorry, who is that?

Hi, I'm Gizmoduck.

When there's trouble,
you call me.

What's your name?

Guys, guys, I got it!

What we need... is a plan.

And that plan is Darkwing.

No
one ever won a battle by squabbling.

We need to stand united
under one foolproof plan.

Ahem. Lunaris did defeat

your first three
foolproof plans.

Aye. And he thinks
we're running scared.

The last thing he expects is
for us to run at him.

Yeah, cause it's crazy.

I know every inch
of that mansion.

If I can get up there,
I can sneak

onto Lunaris' ship
and take him down.

But we need a distraction:

our army will attack
his army head-on.

I'm sorry, what army?

My great-grandfather
used to say,

"Give me 12 highlanders
and a bagpiper

and I'll give you a rebellion."

We may be
a ragtag gang of underdogs,

but we'll survive
like we always do.

Because we're smarter.

We're tougher.
We're sharper.

Follow my lead, and we'll win
this battle square!

Ah, no... Stop...

I am man, you are machine.

Ow! Get off me!

Hello? Selene?

Goddess of the Moon?

Open the ding-dang-door,

ya pantheon of palookas!

We'd love
to help you,

but we're kinda grounded.

Father, please!
What of the Earth?

What of my Donald?!

No! We are not helping
Scrooge McDuck.

If the mortals jumped off
a bridge, would you jump too?

Yes, Father,
for I am immortal!

Please, let us in!

So we can figure out a plan
to stop the Moonlanders.

We need to hide!

...our plan from spies
so maybe we can talk it over

on the plane back
to Duckburg?

We can't ever go back
to Duckburg!

Without you!
I think?

Sorry, Mom,
I'm a little lost here.

Trust me, it's the plan.

You don't need to know
every part of the plan,

but it's a great plan.

Is part of the plan
saying "plan" a lot?

Look, what's
going on here, Mom?

Sorry! Call me later,

we'll hang out
if we're not all conquered?

Sir, we've secured
the only path to the mansion.

No one's getting through.

Very good.

It's all falling into place.

Ugh. He's launching some kind
of horrible sonic warfare!

Stick to the plan.

Everyone hold,
until I give word.

Hold. Hol-lllld...

Oh, no.
Sorry, everyone!

Oh, no. Oh.

Oh, okay...

There we go.

Oh, fine! Just go!

Launchpad and, uh,
purple guy...

Actually, it's Darkwing...

No time! Drive!

Yow!

- M'Ma!
- I got him!

You're embarrassing me
in front of the rebellion.

These aren't
some bank robbers.

It's an invasion!

What are you gonna do,
pollito?

Cream them.

Mmm! What is
this delicious flavor?

Lemon merengue.
Harpies love it.

Not bad, Gizmopollito.

Yeah!

Ah! Dr. Gearloose!

Don't worry.

That was a clone.

Okay.
That might have been me.

None of us
really know anymore.

Chaaarrge!

Mr. McDuck, I don't know how
much longer we can hold them!

Trust me,
Beakley, it's going just as planned!

I am the black hole that...

I am the supernova that...

Can you slow down please?

Nonsense!
I have to get to Lunaris

before he realizes I'm missing
from the battlefield.

But if no one knows
we're coming,

well, how can
they be terrified of me?

For the last time,
you ignominious egomaniac,

they're not scared of you.
Oh.

They barely
even notice you.

Okay. We can get
to the Dawson Mines.

Ooh! Or the caves
of Mt. Neverrest!

But those places
are abandoned.

I thought we were looking
for recruits to fight Lunaris!

I'm sure Mom's just,
ya know,

looking to set up
a second base to attack from?

Huey!

Don't worry. The hero
of Earth's here to save you.

And Webby is here to save me.

Dewey-Ex Machina!

Oof.

We have to go back
to Duckburg.

The plan's not working.

We had a chance to get Amunet
and Djinn, but we ran away.

And back at Ithaquack
you were more worried

about getting us in
than getting reinforcements out.

It's almost like...

The plan
isn't about finding help.

It's about running away.

We're being scammed!

Lunaris is targeting us.

If I told the truth,
you wouldn't have come.

So we don't fight back?

We leave
our friends and family?

You're my family.

I can't lose you again!

Almost... there and...

There's Scrooge McDuck!

Forget him!
Get Scrooge!

Halt, Earther!

Who's this?

I am sharper
than the sharpies.

I am tougher
than the toughies.

I am Scrooge McDuck!

Ooh, impressive entrance!

Huh?

And now prepare your...

Where did he...?
How did he...?

Oh! DW, are you okay?

They finally
paid attention to me.

I am a hero!

I am...

Who am I?

Darkwing Duck!

Alright.

I'm about to show you

who's really smarter
than the smarties.

There you are.

Took long enough.

You see, Scrooge,
my father taught me

that fear
is a powerful weapon.

Fear can motivate
the Moonlanders

to invade your planet.

Fear can make
the ridiculous people of Earth

put their faith in a foolish
old man's foolhardy plan.

Fear can drive away Della,
the one Earther

with any knowledge
of my people.

Fear can even distract
the great Scrooge McDuck

as I landed
this planetary engine!

Uh, behind you.

It's time your pathetic Earth
revolved around the moon!

You'll never
get away with this.

I just did.

No visible sign of life.

We're heading back to Duckburg.

Uh, we made it.

We're safe!
And stuck.

You'd have to be pretty unlucky
to be stranded here.

What?

Donald?

Della!

Hot dog! We've got company!

- Where have you been?
- Where have you been?

If you were home
when I got back,

you'd know
I was stuck on the moon...

Which, by the way,
is invading us!

I know! I warned you!

We didn't get a warning!

Stop yelling at each other!

I could've been named Turbo!

You owe me 11 years
of Turbo!

Don't change the subject!
Just because I missed you

doesn't mean
I'm not mad at you!

I missed you too, ya big dummy!

Aw, boy, I love a reunion!

Has the melon been a thing

the whole time
I've been gone or...?

No, that's new.

Maybe if I... Oh, no,
he'll take us out here...

Okay, what if I...?

There you are!

I thought we were meeting
at Thumbs,

not Chums,
because I wrote the name

of the emergency meeting place,

Chums, on my thumbs.

You can understand the mix-up.

Also everyone's been captured
by Moon guys.

Grrrrr... Blasted tartar sauce!

Uh, is he okay?

He's... strategizing.
Everything's fine.

Sure, we had an army before

and now there's
only an elite squad of five.

Four. I've decided
you're doomed.

My time
would be better be served

preparing your places
in the afterlife.

Cheerio!

Not reassuring
that he went down instead of up.

Well, wherever Della
and the kids are,

at least they're together.

Thank goodness you found us!

After Penumbra helped Donald
escape those evil Moonlanders,

why, he crash landed
on this island.

Where I met my best friend!

You met Penny on the moon?
Is she okay?

I miss her constantly
trying to impale me.

We've been
having a real good time.

Sharing sandwiches,

drinking sea water smoothies
to drown our sorrows...

You've been surviving
on sea water

and sand
this whole time?

But now I'm saved!

You must have
been searching for him for months!

Yes.
We totally knew

you were missing
and not on a cruise.

- Did we?
- Yes.

- Just like the melon said.
- That's why we're here.

I told you your family

would never forget about you!

Which is why you have
to go back, my friend.

Lunaris is a monster.

We have
to go help Uncle Scrooge.

And now
that we found you,

we can all fight
Lunaris together!

No way.
The plan is to keep you

as far away
from danger as possible.

Besides, Scrooge knows
exactly what he's doing.

Ugh, I have no idea
what I'm doing!

I cannae see
how to beat Lunaris.

Every plan I come up with,
he's one step ahead!

I'm afraid there's
no sane way to stop him.

Screech!

You all know me.

Know how I make my living.

You don't need a plan.

You need a scheme.

A cockamamie one.

What the blazes
are you doing here?

Didn't your last scheme
backfire so badly

you lost your fortune
to a child

and turned literally every
villain in town against you?

And I survived!

Like a Scottish cockroach!

And you can survive too,
if you listen to ole Flinty.

Well, we are all
out of good ideas.

Yes!

Ta-daaaaa!
Welcome home!

We can live here
as long as we need!

Look, kids,
you have your own rooms!

So let's see, we've got
this tree, sand and water.

Whole lot of both.
How can this get us home?

Oh! Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

Keeping in mind Dewey
can't surf us to safety

because he does not
know how to surf.

We don't know that
until I try!

Welcome back!

Who's up
for beach volleyball?!

Melon,
I'm looking at you!

'Cuz we're gonna need
a ball.

- No!
- We don't have time for games.

We need to get back
to Duckburg.

It's too dangerous.

We don't know what's
waiting for us back there.

But the Earth needs
our help.

Scrooge will handle it!

And how are we supposed
to survive?

It's fine!

Everything's fine!

We got a bunch of sand,

zero contact
with the outside world,

a crashed plane
we can use as a house, and...

Hey! Shoo!

Monster taking my stuff!

Ah! Heh.

Living here is great!

No offense, Mom,
but we might as well

be living on the moon.

What?

You must be delirious
from hunger.

Here, have some delicious
Oxy... chew...

Oh, no.

No-no-no.

This is the moon
all over again!

See ya real soon!

Noooo!

A Glomgold Industries Scheme,

a subsidiary
of McDuck Enterprises.

Things are bad.

Lunaris is manning
a rocket full of lasers

in the bay pushing
the Earth out of orbit.

That's causing
the Earth to freeze.

Our army
is being held captive.

But Earth still has its heroes.

Some bigger than others,
I see...

Sorry, do you not want
to survive?

Are we honestly going to trust
this maniacal knock-off?

Lunaris has a
counter for every one of my plans.

What else are we to do?

Surrender
and freeze to death?

Well, it does seem
less painful than this.

This is our last hope, people.

If you all blindly follow
my plan, we may have a chance.

Thanks to my ultimate weapon!

Is that shark
wearing a parka?

I call it a Sharka!

Because Papa doesn't want

his precious babies
getting sick.

No, I don't. Ah!

I'm going to miss
being a planet.

Hey, Mom.

I drew this
back when I had to imagine

what you boys looked like.

I think
you really nailed Dewey.

On the moon, all I could
think about was being your mom.

The adventures!
The fun!

I wasn't prepared
for all this.

Look, I hate surprises.

I like seeing every angle
of a situation

so that
I can take control of it.

But you can't plan
for everything.

Sometimes a robot boy
uses you as a piñata.

I think I'm losing
the thread here.

But sometimes the mom
you thought you lost comes back.

And that's a surprise too.

So you deal
with the bad surprises

because they may lead
to a good one.

But what if Lunaris succeeds?

What if I lose you again?
What if...?

You know, when I'm terrified,
which is often,

I try to remember
this old song.

♪ Face each new sun with eyes
clear and true ♪

♪ Unafraid of the unknown... ♪

♪ Because I'll face it all
with you ♪

I wrote that song
before I got lost.

How did you hear it?

Well, Uncle Donald used
to sing it to us

when we were little.

That's true.

I read that.

That's
a pretty good surprise.

Let's go face
the unknown together.

So any ideas
on how to get back or...?

Ahoy there!

Mitzi?

Cousin Gladstone?!
Cousin Fethry?!

Della? Donald?

Huey? Dewey?
Green kid?

Girl kid?
Airplane?

Palm tree? Mmm...

Hey, fam!
Want some melon?

...luckily my blimp
was blown clear

of the invasion
and out to sea.

That's where Fethry
and the lovely Mitzi found me.

And just as
I was getting peckish,

we saw these melons floating
in the ocean, which led us here.

Crazy, huh?

This is delicious!

You want some, Donaldo?

You guys need a lift?

Aw, man,
am I the Uncle Donald?

Go, my babies!

Eh, let me
get this straight.

The "Sharkas" eat through

- the tower supports under the ice.
- Obviously.

And Beakley is dressed
like this why?

How else would
we convince Lunaris

that this giant slingshot
is normal sized?

Ever heard of
an optical illusion?!

Ugh. It's gettin'
real hot in here.

Ooh! Ah!

Right,
because Lunaris

will think she's
just a... little boy,

allowing her to fire Launchpad,
who is a rock,

up to the tower's control room
and shut it down.

Now you're
gettin' it, Scroogey.

And, uh, what's
my part in this?

You'll distract Lunaris by
pretending to be the one person

no one would ever suspect
of deceiving them.

A man who everyone lets
into their home,

without question.

No. No!

You're only doing this
because you know I'll hate it.

Glomgold,
you've gone too far!

You animal!
The thing he hates the most!

Right. And how many
of your plans worked?

I can't believe my father

feared these Earthers.

They're pathetic.

What the moon devil is this?

Water beasts
in winter clothing?

Surely it would
only weigh them down?

Preposterous.

Is that Scrooge's housekeeper

holding a man dressed as a rock?

This is sad, even for Scrooge.

Unless... he wants me
to think that.

An idiotic cover for
a secretly brilliant strategy.

Oh, what am I not seeing?

Ho. Ho. Ho.

Merry invasion.

Scrooge, please.

Whatever
this "plan" you have is,

it's embarrassing us both.

Oh, it's not my plan.

"You have to talk
to the greatest,

"most handsome, tenacious,
honest, and noble boy

on the tippity top
of the Nice List..."

Flintheart Glomgold!

I'm sorry, who is this?

Nice try, Moonman...
Pretending not to know

Earth's greatest mastermind!

"Glomgold, my boy!

"Santa has a special present
just for you!

Takes out present." Oh.

"I'm giving you
your company back!"

Wait, what?!
Of all the...

Was this whole thing

a scheme to get me
to give up your company?!

Ha! No take backs
on Christmas!

It's not Christmas!

Then why is Santa here?!

Enough! No more tricks.

What is your plan?!
Is this part of it?!

Bless me bagpipes.
Flinty, I think it's working.

Of course it is!

What is working?!

What did you just do
with your hand?

I was a guy
this whole time!

What?! No!

You were prepared
for our best.

But not our dumbest.

And I'm the dumbest
there's ever been!

Wait...

How is this possible?

I will not be stopped!

Earth shall bow to my will!

Oh, go, Glom! Go! Ah!

Phew.

No! You will live
in fear of me!

I am the mighty!

I am the Moon!

Greatest of the planets...

Oof!
The moon's not a planet!

Stop. Saying. That!

Any last words, Earther?

Hi, kids.

Huh?

- Hi, Uncle Scrooge! - Hi, Uncle Scrooge!
- Hi, Uncle Scrooge! - Hi, Uncle Scrooge!

None of this
makes any sense!

Uh, no!

Pull, Mitzi! Pull!

Looks like we're out of luck.

Buh?

Oh! Oh! Hey!

No! No!

My plan is crushed!

About time you came home!

I hope you had
a relaxing vacation

while the rest of us
were defending the planet!

Oh, was he not on a cruise then?

If the Earthers won't live
in fear of the moon,

then they'll die in fear of it!

So, you guys got it
from here, right?

After I blow up the Earth,

then you won't be a planet!

He wouldn't
blow us up, right?!

Sorry, he's gonna blow up
where now?

Wait, are
we the bad guys?

Don't I owe you kids
a trip into space?

What? Who would dare?!

Alright, we have
to take out that engine

before he hits Earth.

Yes, sir.

Ow! Grr...

Ugh! But I can't near
that engine

while his laser turrets are on!

Kids, knock out those lasers!

Dewey, you aim, I'll fire!

Yeah!

Move over!
This is a ship.

I am a sailor.

This is a rocket ship, genius.

I'm a pilot!

Oh, bless me bagpipes,

have I missed this.

Dewey! Give me a turn.

One more round and we can
knock out that engine!

Ah, there's that
indomitable Earth spirit.

Can't wait to crush it
like I'll crush your planet!

Ha-ha!

There's no escape this time!

What are you doing?!

I can't find an angle out.

Farewell, Della Duck.

Penumbra?!

Hello, General.

Hiya, roomie!

Penny!
Didn't see that one comin'!

Anyway, this is my family,
you know Donald...

Let me in!
Oh, right.

No! I will not be defeated.

I've planned
for every eventuality.

Back up engines, activate!

I said activate!
That's an order!

Why won't you...?

What the...?

Hey, Selene here,
Goddess of the Moon.

Probably heard of me.

So, my brother Storkules

is setting the Earth
back into orbit as we speak.

Ah-ha!

Bad news... your ship is stuck
orbiting the Earth.

Oh, no. Not that. Not...

But good news:
Congratulations!

You're the Earth's
newest moon!

Aw, phoooeeeeeey!

Huh?

So, um, cool crash.

I don't suppose you'd like to
grab a coffee or something...

I could destroy you
easily.

So, yes?

Glomgold!

Glomgold! Glomgold!

Glomgold! Glomgold! Glomgold!

I did it!
I defeated Scrooge McDuck!

We were
on the same team!

Well, we survived that,
so what do we do now?

I dunno.
But we'll do it together.

This has gone too far.

The Ducks almost cost us
the world today.

And without the world,
who would we larceny against?

The pieces
are finally in place.

Time to come out of the shadows,
take control,

and end Clan McDuck.

If the McDuck family
wants an adventure...

we'll give them their last.
