Duckvember Day 10: Wild Duck

This is for the classic Ducktales/Darkwing universe. My OC Faustina and @cataradical  OC Kage. They have shenanigans and adventures as kids in the Negaverse where they are from. :3

Faustina is the daughter of Nega Gladstone and technically Nega Magica. She’s a little trouble maker, let me tell you what. Little gremlin that one. 

Kage is a clone of Negaduck that Negaverse Shush tried to make to replace Negaduck because they want to take over St Canard or something. Luckily he got broken out of that place and didn’t have to do that lol. He got adopted against his will by Faustina’s family. 

No beta again of course I’m already BEHIND.

—----------------------

“Why are we going down to the vault?” Kage complained. This seemed like a waste of time to him. It seemed unrelated to what he had requested Faustina to do.

“Our papa can open new gates to the otherside by magic but I don’t know how to do that yet. BUT, I KNOW he mentioned there was some machine he confiscated  that could do the same, “ Faustina explained as she came to the vault door, “okay, lemme try to remember the passcode.”

“I’ve broken in here before,” Kage scoffed at Faustina’s delay.

“Yeah but you didn’t do it from the front door! Some stupid backway Papa has now patched up. Dummy,” the younger sibling shot back. She pulled a wand from her sleeve and held the point to her own throat. Faustina  then hit a green button on the vault door’s lock.

“What are you-” Kage was about to start. He usually only saw wands used as weapons so the sight of his sister holding it to her throat was very odd.

“HUSH!” she said at a very harsh whisper. To Kage’s surprise,  the next line Faustina spoke sounded like her father Grimstone’s voice, “Choose not what course you cannot escape, as the maelstrom holds tight the treasure of drowned men.” 

They both waited silently for the longest thirty seconds ever until the green light flashed with a singular beep. The bolts of the lock could be heard sliding before the door itself cracked open. Faustina took the wand off her neck.

“SEE!” was all the blonde duckling replied. Kage faked an unimpressed snort before pushing past Faustina to go into the vault first. She gave him a shove back, that was more a push further into the vault’s doorway.

Kage gave his sister another shove back in retaliation before his eye caught how big this place was, “I don’t remember this place being so big when I broke in.”

“Yeah, because we’re on the opposite side of it. It takes up the whole under the farm I think, “ Faustina explained before she returned his second shove with an elbow in the ribs. 

“HEY! Just take me to the machine you’re talking about,” Kage complained as he tried to grab Faustina in a headlock. Their roughhousing was per usual. Faustina already had a small rip on the shoulder of her light blue dress from fighting earlier that day. 

“Well, I don’t know WHAT it looks like, he just mentioned it,” Faustina stated as she weaseled out of headlock attempted.

“Then you’re wasting my TIME!” he complained back.

“Nah, I’ll find it. I’m good at finding things. And I have been here a lot with Papa, I know what it's NOT,” the blonde duckling replied.

Kage just followed with more grumbling. There was no other way he knew to get to the other universe so he was stuck  with Faustina’s plan, “lead the way then.”

Faustina didn’t say anything as she began to run off in the direction she decided was the best to start at. Kage made another annoyed noise but followed. He didn’t take off in a run like her though, but kept a pace so he didn’t lose sight of her. As his eye tracked her he also made sure to glance at the times in his line of sight. 

The horde of confiscated magic items and various machines was all organized in a grid so there were even pathways to explore. If anything, it was like going to a big box store of illegal items. He also noticed some items had large red or yellow tags on them. His eye caught one machine with a red tag on it. He broke this view of Faustina to take a look at it. It looked like a camera on  a stand. Just plain gray metal with a light on the top side of it that looked more like a satellite dish than a flash bulb. There was also a large lever on it. His first thought was a dumb ‘take a picture of your aura’ camera like his adoptive mother had. He stepped closer to it before he looked up in the direction he last saw Faustina. She was already long gone. 

Kage grumbled, deciding he would track her down in a minute anyways. She was so noisy it was hard to lose her anyways. While still in front of the camera lens the curious duckling then pushed the lever back. There was a bright flash of light and that was the last thing he remembered as an individual. 

Faustina had come to a locked cabinet of oddities. She smiled wide at it and went straight for the lock. She touched her wand and toit and just simply said, “Unlocky!”

To her surprise that magic word did not work. She swore that is what she heard her Papa say before. It was so dumb, but not someone from the outside would suspect. She tapped her wand several times and repeated the word over and over. Still nothing. 

She took a step back to rethink her process. The blonde ducking then let out a squeak in surprise when she bumped into someone right behind her. She turned accusingly.

“Kage! You scared me!” Faustina turned, pointing the wand at her brother. She gave a head tilt when he looked a little different. She was used to his usual black pants and shirt being roughed up and wrinkled. However, it looked more roughed up and more wrinkled? “What did you fall into? I guess I should warn you don’t touch stuff with red tags. Yellow tags can be fun though,” Faustina explained, not knowing the information came a little late. She then used her wand to point to the cabinet, “can you get this open for me?”

Kage, being unusually silent, then shoved Faustina into the cabinet.

“Hey! If we’re gonna crack it open with someone’s head it's gonna be YOURS!” the little witch yelled as she stepped to the side of the cabinet. She waved her want and moved the cabinet into  Kage. He didn’t take the hit though, instead leaping up and hitting the top of the cabinet so that the furniture fell flat on its backside. 

Faustina narrowed her eyes because the leap she saw Kage do seemed way higher than she had ever seen him jump before, “What did you get into???”

She let out a half-quack when her brother then leapt at her. The blonde duckling tried to step aside to avoid the attack but her shoulder was caught by one of his hands. He gripped her shoulder hard and tried to slap her body forward to the ground. It was at a force of strength Faustina never felt Kage capable of doing before. 

It did get her to the ground, but she was sure to grab Kage’s ankle and pull hard to get him to fall as well. While they were both on the ground, he kneed her in the beak. She stumbled back and wiped a little blood from her bill because of the hit. 

“Oh, somethings wrong,” she flicked the blood from her fingers onto Kage. He snarled and tried to make another lunge at her from the floor. With the little speck of blood she dropped on him though, she was able to wave her fingers in one hand and wand in the other to cast a spell. The spell teleported him to the other side of the warehouse. She ran in the opposite direction, towards the direction Kage came from. As she ran she looked for anything out of place that may have been the item that affected her brother.

She stopped when she saw the odd camera. That lever had definitely been touched. That machine usually had a little more dust sitting on it. Faustina’s thought process was the machine maybe flashed like picture that somehow made the person stronger. Her logic was flawed though, she was seven years old after all. 

“Now we’re gonna fight fire with fire!” She announced to herself before tucking her wand in her sleeve. She then pulled the lever and let herself get zapped. 

Once the light cleared she let out a devilish long giggle. The teeth in her bill felt sharper, bigger. Her hair was dissolved and the tear in her dress shoulder was much bigger now. She practically ran in all fours now into the direction she had teleported Kage to. 

Just steps away, somehow unseen by the other Faustina, was another Faustina. This one was in a perfectly ironed dress. The lace accents seemed more plush. Her bangs for some reason came over her eyes but did not seem to interrupt her sight. She smiled when from behind a large vase artifact stepped out Kage. This one had his shirt neatly tucked in and his belt buckled properly. Something that normally took much arguing from his adoptive mother to get him to do. 

“She was being deceitful about there being a gateway machine. She wanted to show him some artifacts in this safehold so that they could take the other verse to cause some immature pranks. That was the original plan for the evening, wasn’t it? After gathering those she was going to take him to the actual open gateway on farm grounds,” the very calm, evenly speaking version of Faustina explained. Her voice was definitely softer and less abrasive. 

“Marvelous. So, you know where there is a gateway?” This perked the well kept Kage's interest. 

“Yes, under the barn. I’ll take you there,” Faustina offered with a wide smile on her bill. Her eyes were still covered but it could be felt they were smiling too, “And what is the plan my dear brother?”

“We’re going to kill the other Scrooge Mcduck,” Kage answered with a little soft smile of his own.

Next part coming in another prompt. If I had more time to write I would make the positron Kage and Faustina’s speaking more like - colorful and nerdy shit lolol. F’n goobers.

Mei would grin at his own jest; the little humorous antics ran in each of her men a plenty. As she prepared the spread as he spoke, her hands would move carefully, she was a natural at her talent that she could be cutting and still keep her eye contact on Naruto. Placing the plates in front of him, she shortly accompanies by his side, taking her own gander at the swords that rested nearby. “They are true representations of their namesake.” Beautiful, it oddly matched their energies. And at his disposal, it sure had shown Naruto’s true calling of collecting the swords that were meant for him. “Eternal chakra, you have much of that. It’s like they were waiting for you.”

The Red Flash of the Mist would become his new nickname. At his exceptional rate, Naruto would be known by so many more, his prowess was infinite, and it was far from finished. “Is that why you showed off your teleport skills first thing? Or were you missing home just as much?”

Another little tease, but it greatly surprised Mei just how much Naruto had in his arsenal. She was no doubt the most protected Kage, not even the Hokage had this much defense with her million men army. No, seriously, their enemies, beware.

“Your promise, it continues to follow you even through all these years.” And in her calm, she softens, turning her knees to him. “You’ve been gifted with such a power that you made it all your own. I could not be any prouder, Naruto darling.”

Naruto was taking after all who had taught him and the inherent legacy he bore on his shoulders. A young man with an aptitude for cunning tactics. He did smile at the compliment while she spoke of how he was two steps. He was many steps ahead, but he'd keep that close to the vest for now. He was ushered to the kitchen where she would show what she set out. "Ah, yes. I mostly spent it training. I wanted to be big and strong." He half-jested. Physical training helped him a lot, but it wasn't all he did. He trained to master the power of the Kyuubi. He trained to further the craft of seals that his clan was known for. He even mastered his father's trademark techniques. "Ah. The swords." He glanced way over to where they are. "They are called, funny enough, Sun and Moon. Blades of my clan. I found them in the ruins. The...villages that attacked Uzushio didn't get everything." He looked back to her. "Twin katanas that were made with a special ore that's far more receptive to chakra and thus elemental affinity." Naruto had found his swords - making it clear which path he seemed to be leaning towards. "I uh...I also mastered my father's technique in a way that goes beyond the kunai he was known for. Given my chakra pool is vast." That was an understatement. "I can...teleport around and to greater distances. Truly a *red* flash across the battlefield if needed." The Red Flash of the Mist was a good calling if he wanted.

So in your alien au how does the courting process go down?

Theyre big on the show of being able to provide for their potential mate, as well as their potential offspring. Both males and females of their species take part in this, as even though the females cannot take part in the actual reproduction of their species, they can still provide.

The show of being able to provide happens several different ways. A prime way of going about courting would be to first show the intended that you can provide for them by making them food and gifting them nice fabrics that are warm and comfortable. After a period of that, bringing them to your home to show off how warm and cozy and homey it is. After that, if the intended agrees to move forward, it’s typically a conversation of varying length regarding who will be the main caretaker and who will be the provider. (Meaning who will bare and watch over the eggs in the fragile state and who will provide for the two of them while they wait on the eggs)

If they reach an agreement, one that can always change later of course, they move to the sheets at their own pace. The courting process can take weeks, months or even years depending on how quickly they wish to move. Marriage is not something they use to bond, but they do usually mate for life, so romancing your intended is important too.

All of this makes True and Kage highly admired, even though the general public of my alien au hardly gets a chance to gander at them before theyre snatched up. Them both being warm blooded, regardless of being unable to bare eggs for obvious reasons, makes them incredible caretakers in the eyes of the alien enders. So of course Splendor and Fen would be a little selfish.

Drabble: Do You Want to Shut Down Your Fire?

In a time which Sasuke is co-kage to Naruto even during the technological explosion in Konoha which had taken everyone by storm. Naruto in particular enjoyed the different electronic portals he had access too. Meanwhile, Sasuke made himself aware, but never used them if he could help it.

As a result of the electronic boom, the Light Hokage took a liking to the Kindle Fire in particular as a way of reading all the documents the Kages always got sent. The only problem is Naruto never seemed to know the technical names for any of the products he used. The slightly dense man typically just summoned Sasuke, explained what he wanted to do, and the Shadow Hokage would simply hand him the proper device.

The first time that the daily drain of paperwork led to severe frustration, Naruto attempted to shut off all the technology around him and relax a moment. He held the power button down on his favorite device, which resulted in a screen to pop up stating, “Do you want to shut down your fire?”

Horrified, Naruto powered up a Rasengan strong enough to blast through both the tablet and his desk.

Having heard the ruckus, Sasuke strolled in, took a gander at the room, smirked, and asked a simple, “What happened?”

“That awful device asked if I wanted to shut down my Will of Fire! I’m Hokage! Why would I ever want to do that?!” Naruto hastily replied.

Exasperated yet amused at the blonds antics, Sasuke gave his partner a dry stare, and stated in a voice tinged with slight sarcasm, “Well Naruto, that tablet you just Rasenganed… is actually a Kindle Fire and basically it was just asking if you wanted to turn the device itself off. Not your Will of Fire.”

Embarrassed by his overreaction, Naruto let out a sheepish chuckle, walked closer to the Uchiha and held out his hand, “I’ll leave this for tomorrow. Let’s call it a day and go home for the night, babe.”

Duckvember Day 23: Parallel Duck (Part 3 To Wild Duck/Otherworldly Duck)

I feel like I’ve been writing a lot with my OCs Faustina and Felicity lololol. Kage belongs to @cataradical . 

—----------

“Faustina! What is wrong?” Felicity seemed confused that her negaversion was attacking. They had met each other a few times. While their fathers had a very fragile truce, her and Faustina had always gotten along fine. She was easily able to side step Faustina’s pounce. The miss wasn’t caused by Felicity’s usual luck though. He found her blonde counterpart to be way less strong than she normally was too.

“Can you please be a dear and stay still so I can hit you!” Faustina growled and made another snatch at Felicity. The black haired duckling easily stepped aside from that grab as well. Felicity did notice when Faustina growled that her teeth were not their usual sharp selves. Something was wrong for sure.

Kage moved to attack Quackfaster but was thwarted when the secretary just grabbed the back of his collar like he was just a normal unruly child.

“Felicity, do you know these two rude children?”  Miss Quackfaster asked as she had a hold on Kage. Normally his next thought would be to bite the transgressor but this form of him did not have this instinct. 

“Yes! Ah- Well, I know Faustina more. But they’re not acting right,” Felicity explained, noticing how Faustina’s bangs covered her eyes. She looked a little nervous that Miss Quackfaster could just hold Kage back. The little she knew about him all just wasn’t right. 

“I demand you take me to Scrooge right now!” Faustina yelled, since her attacks were useless. 

“Why?” Felicity looked rather confused at her counterpart, “You just attack me and then want to see my great uncle? Why?”

“I was flying straight to his office when SOMETHING turned my flying device directly here Probably your fault!” Faustina accused Felicity.

“I didn’t do anything!” her counterpart returned, “What are you trying to do that would cause that? Trying to steal the dime?”

“No! We just need information! To help us defeat the Scrooge back home,” Faustina replied. It was a half lie. Felicity let out a little grumble, like she didn’t completely believe her negaverse version. However, she did know from little bits she picked up that the version of her great uncle there was a very bad guy. 

Kage stopped fighting against Quickfaster’s hold so the secretary let him go. Luckily he behaved, and was more concerned with straightening out his shirt after getting it roughed up in his attempt at fighting. 

“He’s in a meeting with my parents right now. Would you wanna go with us to lunch first? I’ll make sure you can talk to him after my parents’ meeting is done,” Felicity offered. She was still uncertain of the whole situation. The ducking did know if Faustina turned down food there was something seriously wrong. 

Kage and Faustina gave each other a glance. Though they did not speak they seemed to share the same thoughts about something.

“Yes, that sounds delightful. There will be dessert too?” Faustina asked with her voice suddenly changing being sweet.

“Uh, sure,” Felicity replied, “And uh- Kage is it? Coming along too?” 

“Yes, that does sound like a reasonable offer. I accept it as well,” Kage answered. Felicity was a little relieved the two had accepted those terms. She would not let her guard down then.

“Well then, off to lunch?” Miss Quackfaster said while giving a moment’s glance at the window, “Let me call this in so it can be fixed as soon as possible. Felicity, I’ll meet you and your friends downstairs, okay?”

Felicity gave a nod and headed over in the direction of the elevator. The two negaverse kids followed, but dropped behind a bit to discuss new plans.

“Brother dearest, I do believe without our other halves we are bark with no bite,” Faustina commented on their dismal attempts at fighting. 

“I agree, my precious sister. But, what do we do to solve this problem?” Kage murmured annoyed. He checked his pockets to find none of his knives that were normally on him were there. 

“I still have my magic, so once we’re done with lunch I think we can still do something about this Scrooge,” Faustina gave out that very vague plan. 

Felicity hit the down button on the elevator, then turning around to see where the other two were. She got a little jump scare when she saw they were right behind her. 

“Are we proceeding to a buffet? I adore buffets,” Faustina asked, acting unaware of being in Felicity’s personal space. 

“No… but if you stay longer we can go to one for dinner,” offered Felicity. 

“Amazing, wonderful, excellent!” Faustina gave a little hop in excitement. Felicity’s eyes narrowed a moment when Faustina’s movement had made the blonde’s bangs moved with the hop. She noticed something but did not let it on to the two negaversers.

The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Felicity turned to face the open doors only to see Faustina and Kage in the elevator. Her head turned to see the Faustina that was still beside her, and Kage next to her. 

“Well… Damn,” the Faustina next to Felicity spoke in a dry monotone.

Lolol part 4 on another prompt lawd

[toonqueen]

Duckvember Day 12: Mother Duck (Part 1)

Part 2 will come with the Wrong Duck Prompt haha.

SO THE SET UP FOR THIS STORY:

MY NEGAVERSE HEADCANON FOR SOME MAGICSTONE FAM 

Grimstone - Gladstone’s negaverse version. A hard working warlock and stuff. Lives at his (deceased) Grandma’s farm. Hates (Nega) Scrooge with a passion which has nothing to do with this story but it's a fact that needs to be known

Magica - a former Paladin (paranormal/witch hunter type) that was a light bearer in her former job (a term they used for healing and backup support/fighter type magic user. Because you can’t call them witches when working with paladins because witches are BAD.) Super nice stepford wife energy. Blonde for some reason because Negaverse rules you can’t make me change it. 

Faustina- Their daughter and a bundle of hellish joy. 7ish years old in this fic

Kage - @cataradical ‘s OC that in his is 10 years old. He's a clone of Negaduck made in a SHUSH lab that got destroyed. Faustina found him a few years ago and thought he was cool and would hang out at the dump. Then He broke into Grim’s secret storage at their farm. He looked at this cussing angry dirty child and was like, “this is my son.”

Oirn - also an OC of @cataradical Left at their doorstep as a baby by a jerk Paladin. Probably 2 years old at this point?? Very quiet Canadian goose that can stare into your soul. 

NO BETA BECAUSE IT'S A SURPRISE FOR THE PERSON THAT USUALLY DOES MY BETAING. 

Here's a pic of the fam minus Grimstone. A comission by @duckbutts69

—--------

“Why does your dad having us learn sword fighting? It's not the dark ages!” Kage complained as he dragged his training sword behind him. Faustina gave a shrug like she didn’t know. She then followed it with an answer.

“He told me once that his Great Grandma told him when he was a kid that the world is gonna end and there will be a breakdown of the supply chain and guns will become useless once bullets can’t even be made at home SO you can’t rely on just guns,” Faustina explained as he walked. She was giving her training sword a few swings, “Also good if my magic gets magic blocked. Then I can just stab them instead!”

Faustina proceeded to demonstrate with a few jabs in the air with her training sword. Kage rolled his eyes, still not impressed with the idea of sword fighting in general. 

“Whatever, I’m not gonna show up for training anymore. This is dumb,” he complained as they got to the storage shed they were told to put their weapons in after their training session.

“You’re just mad because I tagged you THREE TIMES in a ROW,” Faustina teased.

“I got you several times too!” Kage defended himself. Before Faustina could reply back they both heard the bell from the nearby farm house. 

“Ah yeah breakfast!” Faustina started to run to the house, “If I get there first I’m gonna eat ALL the bacon!”

“Oh NO you DON’T!” Kage replied as he ran to follow her.  When he started to pass her, she tried to elbow him. He dodged though, and got to the porch before her, “Maybe if you didn’t wear dumb dresses you could run faster!”

Faustina made a snort not that much different than an angry hog. Kage opened the farmhouse door before she then bum-rushed at him. He got a very strong head butt in the stomach from his sister. It knocked them both to the ground in the entryway of the house. He pulled on her hair to get her to back off. The response from Faustina was just a giggle as she got to her feet and offered to help him up. It was just the usual sibling rough housing. 

The two came to the kitchen table. Orin was already in his booster seat eating an apple fritter. There was a large plate of bacon and one with sausages. Magica was loading a serving bowl with freshly made scrambled eggs. As usually the table had the plates and silverware placed out like it was a fancy dinner. 

Kage and Faustina quickly sat down and started serving themselves.  Faustina put a piece of bacon in her mouth for every one she put on her plate. Kage noticed this and started to do the same with the sausage links. 

“Save some for your Dad!” Magica said to both of the eager children. She put some of the scrambled eggs on Orin’s plate before putting the bowl on the table. 

“He’s not my Dad,” Kage stated as he grabbed some bacon to add to his plate. 

“Oh, but you have called him Dad a few times,” Magica mentioned to contradict him. 

“UNDER DURESS!” the cranky kid replied, not quite pronouncing duress right. Kage may have misunderstood the meaning of the word too. The young duck knew he did call Grim Dad sometimes when he needed his attention right away.  He then gave Orn a glare even though he had nothing to do with the conversation, “How come he gets one of those things.”

“He has those all the time for breakfast since he doesn’t like all the bacon and sausage that much. Did you want one of the fritters? I made a whole batch,” Magica offered as she headed back towards the kitchen. She pulled out a container that had more of the pastries in them. 

“I don’t like them, I just want to know why he gets special stuff for breakfast,” Kage muttered with scrambled eggs in his mouth.

“Because he’s a baby picky eater,” Faustina answered before their mother could, “Babies get spoiled. Do you want to be a spoiled baby?” 

“N-No!” he stammered at the direct question. He then flung a spoonful of egg at Faustina. She didn’t complain at all about the attack. Instead she just ate the splattered egg off where it landed on her arm, “Ew.”

“You ate spilled pudding off the floor and say ew to me eating arm egg!?” Faustina retorted back.

“YOU ate it off the floor too!” Kage accused and he flung more egg at his sister. 

“Alright you too. You need to eat more than you’re throwing around,” Magica tsked as she pulled out a cloth napkin from her apron. She wiped off egg from Faustina’s clothes and her beak. She went over to wipe his bill as well. He was much cleaner than his erratic siblings but Magica just wanted to make sure. Kage grumbled and stuffed his mouth with a handful of bacon and chewed loudly. 

Grimstone finally came into the kitchen, “Sorry I was tidying up something and couldn’t come right away. I hope there is some left for me?”

“Oh yes!” Magica answered before she took a glance at the kitchen table. There wasn’t really much left, “Actually, I can cook you up some more.” 

“Ah, don’t worry about it dear. I can make something for myself. I know you need to go run some errands. I can feed myself,” Grimstone replied before giving Magica a light kiss on the cheek, “I’ll clean up the kitchen too.”

“Oh, thank you!” she replied as she took off her apron. 

“Taking Orin with you?” Grimstone asked. The youngest usually went wherever Magica went. 

“Ah, it's a short trip. He’ll be fine with you for a little while?” Magica asked.

“Of course,” Grim replied as he started to make  himself a pot of coffee. Orin, hearing he was not going with his mother on errands, made a soft noise.

“Oh don’t worry sweetie. I’ll be back before you know it. You keep your father and sister out of trouble, okay?” she said to the youngest child. Orin just gave her a stare as if to say he was not happy with this arrangement, “I’ll be right back okay?”

She gave Orin a kiss on the forehead. Kage let out a disapproving snort at the show of affection to the youngest. 

Magica left the kitchen to go get her purse and get ready to go out. As she was getting her keys by the front door, Kage walked by out of the kitchen.

“Oh, would you like to come with me?” Magica offered it to the boy.

“Uh… Sure. I’ll go grab Faustina,” he replied, a little confused by Magica’s sudden offer.

“She can stay here and help watch Orin. We can go just the two of us,” she explained while putting on her coat. Kage looked even more confused by this. He couldn’t remember a time just he and Magica went on an outing. She seemed to pick up on that, “Even Grim has taken Orin to the witches market without me.”

“Are we going to the witch market?” Kage asked. It was very hard to tell by his tone if he was asking because he liked that idea or not. 

“No, just the regular grocery store,” she gave a moment's pause, “I'll get you some junk food. Whatever you want.”

“Oh hell yeah let's go then,” Kage replied as he went out the front door. He already headed to the car. Magica grabbed his jacket, “You need to wear a coat! It’s a little chilly today!”

Kage grumbled and pulled out a pick to unlocked the passenger door before Magica even got to the car. He quickly got into his seat and waited for Magica.  She tsked at him.

“Couldn’t you wait two minutes for me to open the car,” she said as she got into the car herself.

“You should be glad I didn’t hotwire the car and already started going there myself!” he replied. Kage then hissed when Magica reached over to put on his seat belt for him. He didn’t stop her though.

It was a short quiet car ride. Quiet as in the two didn’t talk even though Magica asked Kage how his sword lesson was today. He just replied with a grumble. He then turned on the radio to some heavy metal station. Magica didn’t change it even though she normally would. 

Once parked at the grocery store, Kage was quick to get out to start running inside. Magica shouted after him, “Kage! Grab a cart for me please! Please wait for me.”

Kage grumbled but did as he was told. Surprisingly.

“You need to keep up with me!” Kage stated as Magic came up to the cart he pulled out.

“I’ll try my best,” she replied while pushing the cart, “Now we need to get the main stuff I came for first before you can pick out what junk food you want.”

“Oh like hell I’m doing that,” Kage responded before scurrying off towards the candy aisle. Magica sighed and proceeded to go to the fresh department first to start getting what she needed on a list.

It didn’t take Kage long to come back with his arms full of candy to dump in the cart. Magica didn’t object to the amount of candy he brought. However she did yell out a ‘hey!’ to him as he ran back to the candy aisle. She pursued him while pushing the cart, “at least get some chips too. Junk food isn’t only candy.”

She paused before entering the candy aisle. There was something in her peripheral vision that did not sit right. Magica was a well trained former Paladin and did not look directly at it when she perceived it. Instead she reached out at a display at the end cap of the aisle. For a moment she pretended to be very interested in the oatmeal displayed there. She grabbed a box of the apple oatmeal and put it in her cart before turning down the candy aisle like nothing was wrong. 

The aisle did have a camera with a little video screen for loss prevention purposes. It had thick static lines that went across the display. The set up clearly had many physical attacks to it in the past leaving it in rough shape. When Magica glanced up at it though, she was able to decipher what she saw. 

The person was not in uniform. However the way his clothes fit felt like one. An unwrinkled black dress shirt and pants. The canine's eyes scanned the area like he was looking for something. Magica could easily read he was someone looking for a target. Not any type of security officer though. It was obvious to her this person was on the hunt.

Magica didn’t make any friends when her and her brother left the paladin order she was in. The witch’s concern right now was this person was looking for her.

“Alright Kage. That’s enough for now. I think we’ll have a little change of plan for dinner tonight. How about we get pizza later for dinner instead. Or burgers. Any fast food you like.  Whatever you prefer,” Magica offered as she pushed her cart further down the aisle. Quite purposely away from the person on the hunt. 

She expected Kage to be happy with the offer of a fast food dinner. Instead he seemed offended, “Do you even know what I’d prefer?”

“Ah, well you have a wide variety of stuff you like. Let's go check out now and discuss it in the car, okay?” she looked behind her to make sure Kage was following  behind her. He was trailing behind her with a scowl on his bill. When she turned to look back in the direction she was going she noticed another unusual  gentleman glancing past every aisle. Same outfit as the previous person she saw, but now also wearing a tie. She turned to face away from him. Once again she pretended to look at a product on the shelf. Kage huffed at her sudden pause, not knowing what was going on. 

The man turned down their aisle but did not take any notice of Magica. However, he did take notice of Kage. He gave the grumbling child a glance as he kept walking past. The stranger then gave a tilt of his head signal to another person nearby. 

Magica had seen this and made the tactical decision to still pretend everything was normal. 

Grim and Faustina had given her vague details about Kage’ origins. The logical conclusion is this was ‘SHUSH’ looking for the boy. 

“What's going on?” Kage raised an eyebrow. He was young but not dumb.

“Dear, let's just ring out what you picked and I’ll explain once we’re headed home,” Magica said as she gave Kage a pinch on his cheek. He hated when she did that but he let her. 

“Are you trying to figure out my favorite things because you make the dumb baby whatever he likes all the time?” Kage stated as he followed Magica down the aisle. Though he would often refer to Faustina as his sister, he never really did call Orin his brother. Dumb baby was a better way to describe him.

Magica kept her eyes peeled for anyone else acting suspicious as she casually walked towards the check out, “I do realize that I assumed you like a lot of the same things Faustina does. I can make whatever you like the most.”

“Okay. What do I like the most?” Kage crossed his arms as he asked. Magica was busy unloading the cart for the cashier. She had noticed at least three other people acting suspiciously. The former paladin was all too familiar with how someone behaved when they had their eyes on a target.  

“Bacon butter cheese sticks?” she replied to the boy. 

“No,” Kage grumbled, “You even make stuff for when the stupid redhead or Macawber kid visits. You know their favorites and not mine!” 

“Like I said, I thought you like all the same things Faustina enjoys. I’m sorry I don’t know. I’ll make or buy whatever you like and keep it in the house. Okay?” Magica tried to still use her diplomatic mother tone. She wasn’t frustrated with Kage, but more the situation of having to discuss this while it was very possible there were agents planning an attack on them. 

Kage made a grumbing noise that wasn't any clear words. He stormed out before Magica could pay for the junk food. Magica said a soft sorry to the cashier before running out after him. She glanced to see at least two of the suspicious strangers were following them out. 

Magica was able to still run at a fast speed even in heels. She caught up with Kage in moments and picked him up under her arm like a sack of potatoes. He didn’t even have a chance to complain before she ducked with him behind a random parked car, “Go to the car and wait. I’ll take care of this.”

Kage opened his beak to try to complain again but was shocked when Magica handed him the car gets. It meant this was serious.  She pulled a pouch of dust from her purse and sprinkled it on Kage. The young duck sneezed at that which drew the attention of one of the strangers. 

From her purse she also pulled out a flask and whispered, “Una strega travestita da pecora è più di un avvertimento.”

“What are you doing?” Kage muttered, not as quietly as he could have. 

“Car, now!” she commanded him. Normally he would complain at being told what to do but this surprised him so much he went ahead and looked for the car. He had ducked behind a different car when he had seen the suspicious canine in a black shirt. Kage began to put together what was happening.

When he looked in the side mirror of the car he was hiding behind things got even more interesting. He could not see himself reflected in the mirror. He assumed the dumb glitter Magica had sprinkled on him had done that. The young duck was left to wonder why she hasn’t done the same to herself. 

That was answered for him as he saw HIMSELF a distance away coming into view. This other ‘Kage’ gave a whistle to get the attention of the now four suspicious men dressed in black.

“Hey, stupid heads! Are you idiots looking for me?” this other Kage waved his arms at the supposed SHUSH agents. 

“I do not sound like that,” Kage muttered to himself. Instead of heading to Magica’s car he was watching what was unfolding. None of the supposed agents spoke to the fake Kage.

“What are you here for? Little ole me?” the fake Kage stepped towards the one closest to him, “Who sent you? Tell them to bugger off!”

The real Kage grumbled to himself. He did not like this impersonation at all.  Other people going to the grocery store ignored the commotion. It was an average thing to see in the Negaverse. For all they knew it could have been security going after a shoplifter. 

One of the other black dressed men came behind the fake Kage. He raised a taser to fire at them. The fake Kage though had heard him and dropped to the ground. The taser fire then went to the other agent that had been in front of the Kage copy. 

The Magica-Kage let out a sinister giggle and got up to their feet in one gymnastic style motion. Despite being small in his form, her kick was still had full adult power when she attacked the man holding the fired taser. She heard the footsteps of a third agent coming behind her with a weapon as well. The disguised witch made another dodge roll to avoid what she assumed was another taser. 

However, she had miscalculated. Instead of a taser that could be dodged, it was some new-fangled energy pulse gun. It would knock out a target and could not be dodged since it was a sound not something that physically hit. The fake Kage was knocked out but still kept their disguise. The magic was from a potion not a spell so it wasn’t reliant on Magica being conscious. 

The agent that had been kicked to the ground got up while taking out ear plugs he had in.

“Good job. But where did the woman go?” the canine agent asked the one with the pulse gun.

“It's no concern. We just have to deal with the target. Let’s get him back to base,” the other agent replied. The real Kage, still invisible, was sneaking closer to them. One of the agents picked up the fake Kage and started walking to an ambulance parked nearby. 

He was very tempted to just attack the one closest to him. But he was smart enough to know that would just send the other three after him, invisible or not. He could get on the ambulance while invisible and see where their base was. Maybe there would be an opportunity to attack then if at any point Magica was left unattended. 

Kage also realized he didn’t have to go with at all. He could technically drive the car back to the farm and get Grimstone for help. He didn’t have to help Magica. He liked Faustina and Grim much more than her.  But what he knew of SHUSH, it would be better to act  ASAP and not waste the time it would take to get to the farm and back. And he didn’t even know where this base was. And Magica was kinda nice to him. And could cook. 

When they loaded the fake Kage on the real one was able to slip in quietly. To not be bumped into by the two other agents in the back he tucked himself in a corner by the backside of the driver's seat. There he waited to strike.

Duckvember Day 24: Adventurous Duck

So @cataradical and I have a thing with some Nega-verse OC kids going on adventures much like how the Ducktales Triplets and Webby go on adventures. Though, since it is the negaverse so they are allowed to roam wild more and do these adventures without adult supervision. Mainly because the adoptive ‘Dad’ of most of them is Gladstone’s Negaverse version. And he lets his kids run free because his uncle had him locked in the basement as a kid so HEY let the kids do what they want.  If I had time to write some full stories with them I’d be sure to have to be a parody of Stranger Things. Instead of them checking out paranormal stuff, they are the paranormal stuff.  Soooo I think listed oldest to youngest: PICTURE BY @cataradical

Rouenna: (tallest with the black hair) Negaduck’s and Nega Morgana’s accident baby. Usually stays with her mom but can be found running around with this group of kids. Even though Macawbers and Despells don’t get along, Magica is nice to her when she’s at the house. Its not her fault her mom is a subpar jerk. Teehee. Rouenna is @cataradical and its not mean to say she is dumb because cata says she’s dumb. ;-; She got good magics tho weh.

(Nega) Gosalyn: following the canon version we saw. She’s now a teenager and been taught light healie magic by Nega Magica. She wears a sailor moon style outfit at times. Whee. Still her normal bubbly self. 

Kage: Also @cataradical  but my char Faustina gave him his name. A clone of Negaduck that SHUSH made. The plan was to have him rapid grow in a tube to adulthood and then replace the real Negaduck with him so Scrooge to backdoor take over St. Canard somehow. Something like that. Nega Scrooge is worse than Negaduck soooo. Negaduck tho attacked the lab before that could happen, breaking Kage’s tube at him being 8ish years old? Kage lived on his own a bit before Faustina found him and they hung out because they’re both RAD. Of course Faustina’s parents then adopted him. Whee. Kage ends up being the leader of these hooligans. The only non-magic user in the group. I see him a lot as Robin in the Teen Titans. The smart strategist is surrounded by people with powers but handles himself fine without powers. WHO NEEDS POWERS WHEN YOU GOT CHAINSAWS AND BLADES BRO. Though he might be the one with smart plans he’s still as chaotic as Faustina and Rouenna though. So how is he gonna reel in those two when he can’t reel in himself sometimes lol. I’m sure Gos helps with that. 

Faustina:  She is Nega Magica and Nega Gladstone’s kid. She wears fluffy dresses and acts like a cute little Victorian child much like Nega Gosalyn. However, she does not have the same attitude. She is a little beastie that can use ‘blood’ magic and has been known to bite people. I mean the others in the group bite too but she has the worst bite hehehe. 

Orin: (not pictured)  He is Faustina and Kage’s adopted baby brother. He actually doesn’t come on adventures being that his is a wimpy BABY. His only job is not to narc to his  parents where the rest of them all went. Also Cata’s char. 

I see them going on a lot of the same adventures the 2017 duck kids go on. Also, Faustina needs to ‘consume’ a certain amount of luck before her 13th birthday or she implodes so a lot of the treasure hunts are for luck related artifacts too.

Day Five: Cagey Duck

I can’t help but take this literally and think of @cataradical 's  character Kage. A brat but he’s family. Haaa. A clone of Negaduck found as a kid by my OC Faustina who’s the kid of Nega Gladstone. Nega Gladstone takes him in as his son as well. Nega Magica accepts him too because HEY another free child even tho he has the energy of a feral rabid kitten lets gooooo! Nega Magica, being a sweet light mage probably doesn’t seem as cool to Kage as monastery warlock Nega Gladstone but someday I’ll finish writing a short story where Kage gets to see how cool Nega Magica is. Weh. 

I have Faustina and Nega Gladstone come from a bloodline that is demonically consumption cursed . What they mainly feed on is luck, like how Paddywack feeds on negative emotions. They also eat more than the usual when it comes to just regular food. I like the idea Kage eats just as much as them, and with his toothy grin people that know Nega Gladstone just assume Kage is biologically his.

Here’s art by @duckbutts69 of Nega Magica and her children. Of Course Kage and Faustina and then the well behaved child Orin that at least she can rely on Orin to take care of her when she gets old. Ha.

Father and Son bonding with Kage and Grim.

@cataradical

Funny enough they do break 😂

22. Garbage Duck

LOL just made me think of @cataradical  OC Kage again. He was a clone of Negaduck made by Negaverse SHUSH, but the lab was destroyed by SOMEONE before he reached full matured age so he was an 8 year old ready to cause trouble.  Ha. He lives in a broken down van in the dump if I remember correctly? And my char Faustina (Nega Gladstone and Magica’s kid) meets him and they do trouble making together. They become thick as thieves bro and sis. And then Kage breaks into Faustina’s home where he meets her Dad. 

And my Nega Gladstone (Grimstone as I have my headcanon for him called.) is like ah yeah free SON. Though Kage isn’t quick to warm up to be adopted into a family, Grim sets out treats and free knives like someone trying to tempt a wild kitten into being a house cat with some wet food. Ha. And in TIME IT WORKS somewhat. So don’t knock it!

A pic of Faustina and Kage as kiddos by @cataradical

More pics under cut!!!

Two more by @cataradical​

Even tho Kage isn’t a magic user he’s adopted by a fam of magic users and has this raggedy old cat that is some how his familiar and he needs to be nicer to them. Weh.

FOR SOME REASON MY CAPTIONS FOR THE PICTURES AFTER THIS ONE AREN’T SHOWING AFTER THE PICTURES SO HERE IS THE CAPTIONS FOR THE TWO NEXT PICS:

Kage taking care of sick Faustina. She ate something she shouldn’t have. Weh. I think we discussed if Faustina would try to feed off Primeverse Gladstone’s luck it would be too overwhelming and make her sick. Weh. 

Older Kage and Faustina commission by @duckbutts69​. Faustina is either plotting something or helping Kage by being his wingman to get him to hit on someone he may like. Who knows. :3

18. Womanly Duck

I guess all I can say for this is any char I make them in the way of long skirts and puffy dresses I end up following the trope that they are the most dangerous. Lol.

My Nega Magica dresses like it's the 1800s with big hoop skirts and lace. Her homelife behavior is like a 1950’s house wife, baked goods and making beds and cleaning around the house. 

Here a pick of her by meee:

Anyways, she’s actually pretty dangerous. She’s a ‘retired’ paladin that knows an array of healing and light spells, and is proficient in throating daggers/needles. Also can nerve pinch people. Ha. She also can do  mind control and use it for some very shady reasons.  

Her daughter Faustina has a fluffy style dresses and skirts as well. More modern dress  than Nega Magica but still the same vibe. Still gonna split open and eat annoying people with her tendrils. OH boy. She’s also a blood witch which is healing and also.. Pain causing magic. Hurray. 

Picture by @cataradical​   with Faustina and also includes her headcanon of Nega Gos that I love. Cute little light witch Anime Magic girl style but being trained by Nega Magica to also be dangerous. Woo. She’s too nice to hurt people tho, Faustina and @cataradical​ OC Kage will do the fighting. Woo.

[polluxdespell]

The Nega Gander/De Spell fam.

who else is in the mood to walk barefoot over the moors in a blood-red velvet ballgown w anguish in ur soul and wet leaves in ur hair while the wind blows moodily and dramatically?

[polluxdespell]

Yayyyy! Thanks so much once again! Beautiful clothing detail and background aaaaaah.

This is my headcanon for Negaverse Magica. She’s a sweet light mage and loving mom and wife and by no means hiding a dark secret from her husband Grimstone (AKA Nega Gladstone.) 

Blonde kiddo laying down is Faustina. She’s Magica and Grim’s daughter. She is a little brat and spoiled. Since her Dad dealt with being held captive as a child he lets her do what she wants and she gets whatever she wants. And she's thinking she’s pretty invincible let me tell you.

Kage and Orin belong to @cataradical. Kage, the bitey one, is a clone of Negaduck that Nega SHUSH was making that escaped. Became friends with Faustina. They run around and cause trouble with some of their other semi-siblings not pictured. Like a reverse Stranger Things instead of solving the strange things they be causing it. Heee. And of course since Grim as a kid met his Grandma by breaking into her farm house when Kage does the same he obviously takes that as ‘Oh, a free son. Awesome.” 

Orin was dropped off by one of Grim’s ‘business partners’ and its not really known the motive. Cuz he thought Grim’s fam would be a good fam for him? Just for shits and giggles? I dunno. Orin had some issues with fae and his parents getting killed so.. SWEATS. Orin is the sweetest child and while Magica loves all her children equally but she’s so glad that nice calm Orin will be there to take care of her in her old age. She can rely on one child for that. Except well…. HAaaaaa FUNNY STORY ABOUT THAT. *JUDGEMENTAL STARE AT ADULT ORIN*

Thank you ToonQueen for your immense support ❤️ totally forgot to upload this one 😱
