[origins-ducktales-story]

Part 4 from my au

Ickis lay inside his bed.

Oblina and Krumm make sure Ickis is comfortable in bed, adjusting the blankets and making sure he has everything he needs

.

Oblina (concerned): get plenty of rest,Ickis. We’ll check on you frequently and bring you anything you need.

Ickis: you Don t need to be caring about me honey,you just had enough of the class lessons also scaring asigments.

Oblina shakes her head,her expression filled with concern.

Oblina: We’re your friends,Ickis. Of course we’re going to worry about you. And your health is more important than than anything than class or scaring humans. So just focus on resting and getting better,okay

Ickis: you are going to date a monster who is reckless.

Oblina raises an eyebrow and looks at Ickis with playful smile.

Oblina: what’s that supposed to mean Ickis

Are you calling yourself reckless

Ickis: I m calling myself a reckless honey

Oblina laughs softly and shakes her head.

Oblina:oh,Ickis. You’re not reckless, you’re just young and adventurous. But sometimes that curiosity can lead you into tricky situations. We just don’t want you getting hurt, that’s all.

Ickis: you worry to much and is not good for you because you will missing studies or worst being snorched

Oblina looks slightly sheepish as she nods.

.

Oblina: you re right, I m worrying to much. But it’s only because I care about you Ickis. We both do. It’s hard not to be concerned when one of our friends gets hurt.

Krumm pipes up,trying to lighten the mood after eating a bug.

Krumm(cheerfully): and don’t worry about us missing study,Ickis. We can catch up easily.

It was night time the three friends are sleeping.

~Flashback~

Ickis was a younger monster before he attended the monster academy and meeting Oblina and Krumm, his maternal uncle Scraw take him to show the red sewers the dangerous place where no monster do not return alive.

As Ickis follows his maternal uncle Scraw into the red sewers,an eerie atmosphere fills the air. The red walls and dim lighting cast a menacing glow. Scraw holds a kind of a lantern, providing some light in the encroaching darkness.

Scraw: do you know why this sewers are red.

Young Ickis shakes his head,staring ahead the red walls with wide eyes.

Ickis(curious): no,uncle Scraw. I don’t know why the sewers are red. Can you tell me.

Ickis s eyes widen wit a mix of fear and intrigue.

Ickis(nervous):so other monsters have gone in here and never come back

That sounds dangerous,Uncle Scraw.

He made a nervous sounds,glancing around the dimly lit environment.

Young Ickis face lights up with curiosity at the mention of his mother involvement.

Ickis(excitement):you mean,my mother discovered the sewers that’s amazing tell me more,uncle Scraw . Why did she find it so scary

He hangs onto every word,his imagination running wild with the possibilities of the mysterious red sewer

Scraw: well my older sister Diamond was dating your father,Slickis the great student from our generation,Diamond was wondering where was her lover and she find him enter the red sewer,something that her feels it’s dangerous she entered inside and saving your father out of that place.

Young Ickis eyes sparkle with fascination as Scraw delves deeper into the story of his parents adventure.

Ickis(eagerly): so, my mother,Diamond,saved my father from this sewers that’s incredible

What happened in here to scare her so much, Uncle Scraw did they encounter a monster or something even worse.

Ickis hangs on every word,enthralled by the tale of his parents bravery and the mysteries of the red sewers

Scraw: they found a dead monster inside those sewers it was,the Gromble s father,yes our master is the Gromble but he didn’t t know that his father died in.

Young Ickis gasped,his eyes wide with both amazement and simpathy.

Ickis(quietly): they found the Gromble s father and he died in here

That’s tragic. How did he die uncle Scraw.

His young mind processes the gravity of the situation, filled with a mix of curiosity and sorrow Mr.Gromble s father.

Scraw: well a monster hunter shoot inside the red sewer and hit Gromble s father and he died from an infection from his wounds.

Young Ickis covers his mouth with his hands,his eyes filled with a mix of shock, sadness, and horror.

Ickis(whispers): oh no,that’s horrible. The Gromble s father was shot by a monster hunter and died from infection. Poor Mr. Gromble,that must have been so hard on him.

Ickis s expression turns solemn as he ponders the weight of the story

Scraw: is getting late and I don’t want your mother wondering where you was.

Ickis nods,understanding that it’s time to return home.

Ickis( determined): you’re right uncle Scraw. Mom will be worried if I stay out to late. But thank you for taking me on this adventure today. It was both scary and exciting. I’ll never forget it.

With a mix of. Gratitude and excitement, Ickis waves farewell to Scraw as he prepares to head back home.

Flashback ends~

Ickis sheed a tiny tear…

Ickis: thank you uncle Scraw for your advise…

Sleeps back again.

Oblina,who had been listening intently to the story,gently wipes away Ickis s tear,her eyes filled with empathy and support.

Oblina(softly): it’s okay, Ickis. Your uncle words were wise. Now get some rest and let your body heal. You ll feel better soon, I promise.

She gently adjusts his blanket,making sure he s comfortable and warm

She brushes a comforting hand through his cheek offering him the reassurance he needs.

To be continued.

The Gromble from Aaahh!!! real monsters

[origins-ducktales-story]

Au part 6 a rescue operation....

ickis say his farewells to his uncle Scraw and his mother Diamond....

Ickis stands before his uncle Scraw and his mother Diamond, bidding farewell for the time being. He is visibly emotional, his eyes wet with tears as he gazes at his mother's loving face.

Scraw, noticing Ickis's sadness, speaks gently, placing a reassuring hand on his nephew's head.

Scraw (comfortingly) Ickis, my boy, there's no need to look so down. You'll be back here again soon, I'm sure.

Ickis: nodded, i know, but it will be some time later....

Start to fly off

Diamond watches through teary eyes as Ickis lifts off into the air, preparing to return to the monster academy. A mixture of love and pride fills her heart, knowing that her little one is growing up.

Diamond (voice thick with emotions) Take care, my darling. I know you'll do well. Come back and visit us whenever you can.

Later Ickis decide to take a look on the monster Gregor house he is outside buying groceries

Ickis, after completing his visit with his uncle and mother, finds himself flying near Gregor's house. As he glides through the air, he pauses, catching a glimpse of the familiar dwelling through the trees.

Curiosity piqued, Ickis decides to hover closer, floating just a short distance away as he observes Gregor purchasing groceries outside.

Hades: Help me please i been capture years ago.....

Ickis: !!!!!

Hey you are you ok

Hades, weary and exhausted from years of imprisonment, looks up from his spot, surprised to see another monster nearby.

Hades (weakly yet hopeful) Who's there? Is someone there? Can you help me?

Ickis: calm down i m a monster just like you, wait are you the missing older son of thriller and Lena....

Horrifica older brother

Hades' eyes widen as Ickis identifies him correctly. He nods weakly, confirming Ickis' assumption.

Hades (weakly) That's right... I am Hades, eldest son of Thriller and Lena... I've been captured and confined for years...

Ickis breaks the bars with his fangs

Ickis: lets hurry and i can take you to the city dump i know someone will be shocked to saw you

Hades, weakened and disoriented from his imprisonment, watches in amazement as Ickis effortlessly breaks through the bars. The sudden freedom makes his heart race with hope.

Hades (grateful) T-thank you... I can't believe you're helping me... but how do you know about the monster city dump, and who will be shocked to see me?

Ickis: you will find out

Hades looks at Ickis with both intrigue and curiosity, uncertain about what to expect, but grateful for the promised rescue.

Hades (weakly yet with anticipation) Alright... lead the way. I trust you, little one. Let's go.

Ickis guide him back to the city dump

Ickis: you re in home again

Hades follows closely behind Ickis, relying on his guidance as they make their way through the surroundings.

Hades (incredulous) Home... I cannot believe it. I thought I'd never see this place, or my loved ones, ever again.

Ickis enter inside the academy

As Ickis leads Hades into the monster academy, the sight of the familiar surroundings makes Hades' heart race with anticipation. He hasn't been to the academy in years.

Hades (with a mixture of excitement and anxiety) This place... it looks the same, yet feels so different after all these years...

Kriggle: is that the missing Hades....

Urbab: i will inform Horrifica about her long lost older brother

Galooth joins the conversation, expressing her observation about Hades' appearance.

Galooth (curiously) He really does look the same, doesn't he...? It's as if he hasn't aged at all since his disappearance.

Urbab enter where the girls are

Urbab: sorry for interrupting your talking between girls...

Dizzle,Hairyette,Ocka, Horrifica,Oblina

Urbab: Horrifica, Ickis found alive your long lost older brother hades

The girls in the room look at Urbab with surprise and curiosity, momentarily distracted from their conversation, as he enters.

Horrifica's eyes widen as she hears Urbab's message.

Horrifica (stunned, yet hopeful) W-what? Hades... my brother? Ickis found him? Is it true?

Urbab: yes he is walking with him this way

Horrifica can hardly believe what she's hearing. Her heart pounds with a mixture of joy and disbelief as she imagines the possibility of seeing her long-lost brother again.

Horrifica (quickly standing up) I-I need to see him... to make sure it's really him.

Urbab gives Horrifica a reassuring nod, understanding her eagerness to confirm the news.

With a mixture of excitement and nervousness, Horrifica waits anxiously for Ickis and Hades to enter the room.

Ickis: hey Horrifica look who i found alive

Ickis steps forward with Hades, bringing him into the room where the girls are gathered. The sight of Hades, though weary and slightly disheveled, is unmistakably familiar to Horrifica.

Horrifica (overwhelmed with emotion) H-Hades... is it really you?

Hades nodded

Horrifica's eyes fill with tears as Hades confirms his identity. She can hardly believe her eyes, seeing her long-lost brother standing before her after all these years.

Horrifica (tearfully) It.. it really is you. I can't believe it... after all this time...

Hades: i know, you never saw me when you. Been only a hatchling bonsty

Horrifica nods in agreement, her heart overflowing with a mixture of joy and sadness.

Horrifica (with a shaky voice) Yes... you left before I was even hatched. I only knew you through stories and old photos. I can't believe we're finally meeting like this, after all this time...

Hades: how are mom and dad....

Horrifica's expression hardens slightly as she considers how to answer Hades's question.

Horrifica (solemnly) Mom and Dad... they've been devastated since your disappearance. They've been searching for you all these years, hoping against hope to find you safe and sound.

Hades: i m going to write a letter to them wanna help me

Horrifica nods eagerly, her eyes still brimming with tears.

Horrifica (determined) Of course. I'll help you in any way I can. I can't wait for Mom and Dad to see that you're safe and sound. They'll be overjoyed.

Ickis: hey Gromble, look who i found

Gromble, busy in his office, is interrupted by Ickis's voice. He looks up, mildly surprised by the sudden interruption.

Gromble (slightly irritated) Uh, what is it, Ickis? Can't you see I'm busy?

Ickis: i found Hades

Gromble pauses, an expression of disbelief on his face.

Gromble (incredulously) Hades? You found Hades? Are you sure it's really him?

Ickis: yes sir

Hades: Hey, Gromble sir, i know i been absent but Ickis save me in time from Gregor

Gromble looks at Hades, taking in his tired yet familiar appearance.

Gromble (surprised yet pleased) Hades... I can hardly believe my eyes. You've returned after all these years... And Ickis found you, eh?

Hades: yes

Gromble nods, a mix of astonishment and relief in his expression.

Gromble (with a hint of weariness) I can't believe you're back, Hades. It's been too long

He takes a moment to collect his thoughts before addressing the lingering issue.

Gromble (serious) But Hades, what happened to you all this time? Where have you been?

Hades: Gregor capture me before my little sister hatch from her egg

Gromble's expression turns solemn as he absorbs the revelation.

Gromble (with concern) Gregor... he captured you? And you've been his prisoner all these years?

Hades nodded

Gromble's expression darkens, his face etched with anger and sympathy. He can only imagine the kind of suffering Hades endured during all those years in captivity.

Gromble (gritting his teeth) That Gregor... I should have known he was behind this. To think he had you all this time...

Hades walks to write a letter to his parents

Everyone in the room watches as Hades heads to the desk to begin writing a letter to his parents. The gravity of the moment hangs heavy in the air as they realize the magnitude of this reunion after all these years.

Hades finish the letter to his parents...

And send it

The letter arrive to the Grasslands...

One of the pride monsters hold the letter

Monster: Thriller, Lena, this letter is from your older son Hades

Thriller and Lena, who have been going about their daily activities on the Grasslands, pause when they hear the announcement.

Their hearts both skip a beat at the mention of their older son's name, and they immediately stop what they're doing and approach the pride monster holding the letter.

Both read the letter

As they read the letter, a range of emotions - disbelief, joy, relief - flicker across Thriller and Lena's faces.

Lena's eyes fill with tears as she finishes reading the letter, and she hugs it close to her chest.

Lena (trembling) He's... he's alive. After all these years...

Thriller, his composure faltering slightly, responds to Lena's remark with a shaky voice.

Thriller (incredulously) He's alive... our long-lost son is alive. I can hardly believe it.

He, too, is visibly moved by the contents of the letter, his emotions overwhelming his usual stern demeanor.

Monster: in the letter want you two to arrive the academy

Lena and Thriller exchange a glance as they hear this part of the message.

Lena (determined) He wants us to come to the Academy. We have to go. We must see our son.

Both carnivorous plant monsters go inside the academy

Urbab: are these two Hades and Horrifica s parents

Hades: they are here

Hades, seated on a bench, overhears Urbab's remark and quickly stands up as he processes the information.

Hades (eagerly) They're here? My parents are here?

His heart races with excitement, and he quickly glances around, searching for a sign of his parents.

Lena and Thriller wait anxiously in the same spot, their eyes searching the surroundings anxiously for any sign of their son.

As Hades finally approaches them, they freeze for a moment, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Lena (trembling, softly) Hades? Is that you?

Hades: yes mom

Lena and Thriller can hardly believe their eyes. They approach Hades cautiously, disbelief mixed with tears as they look at him.

Lena (almost in tears) It's really you... my baby boy...

Thriller, more stoic but no less emotional, puts a hand on Hades shoulder.

Thriller (with a shake in his voice) You're alive... we thought we'd never see you again...

Hades: mom i m not a baby

Horrifica chuckle

Lena, tears streaming down her face, rolls her eyes affectionately at her son.

Lena (choking back a sob) I know, sweetheart. But you'll always be my baby.

Horrifica lets out a amused chuckle, her laughter breaking some of the tension.

Hades: don t laugh at your brother sis 😏

Horrifica grins mischievously, clearly enjoying the moment.

Horrifica (teasingly) What? Can't help it, you just made a funny face.

She sticks her tongue out at Hades, reveling in the relief and joy of the reunion.

Hades: 🤪

Horrifica giggles at Hades's goofy expression, and even Lena and Thriller can't help but chuckle, the tension eased by the lighthearted moment.

Lena (snorting) You're as silly as ever, Hades.

Hades: Mom! Don t embarras me

Lena laughs aloud, enjoying the familiar banter with her son.

Lena (teasingly) Oh, I'm your mom, I can embarrass you as much as I want.

Thriller, who has been more reserved until now, grins and ruffles Hades head.

Hades: 🤧

Horrifica stifles a giggle at Hades's dramatic reaction, amused by his exaggerated sneeze.

Horrifica (teasingly) Aww, looks like Mom and Dad are embarrassing you too much today.

Thriller rolls his eyes, still smiling, and puts a playful arm around Hades.

Hades: i do sound more a adult, well is time for me to leave the academy, i need to remember the lessons in class that Gromble had taught me

The comment strikes a bittersweet note among the family. Lena's eyes cloud with sadness at the thought of her son leaving again.

Lena (softly) You're leaving... already?

Thriller puts a comforting arm around her, though his own expression betraying a hint of worry.

Hades: i m waiting for you two to come home.

Lena and Thriller exchange a glance, both clearly unhappy that Hades is leaving but understanding his decision.

Lena (with a mixture of sadness and acceptance) I see... We'll make sure to come home soon.

Thriller nods, squeezing Hades's shoulder reassuringly.

Thriller (gravely) Just promise you'll be careful, alright?

Hades: yes mom and dad

Lena nods, a small, sad smile forming on her face.

Lena (softly) Come here, my baby...

She reaches out, clearly wanting to embrace her son one last time.

Hades: mom you will see me in home

Lena nods, still teary-eyed but more accepting now.

Lena (with a hint of finality) I know, I know... just one hug before you go?.

Hades: ok

Lena hugs him tightly, her embrace full of love and worry.

Lena (sniffling) You stay safe, okay? And don't do anything reckless.

Thriller gently pats Hades on the back, a silent gesture of support.

Hades walk back to the grasslands....

Hades leaves the academy and begins the journey back to the Grasslands. The path ahead is familiar territory, and the sight of the grasslands stretching out before him bring both nostalgia and a sense of returning home.

Then Lena and Thriller do their farewell to their daughter Horrifica

Lena and Thriller reluctantly tear themselves away from their son's departure and turn their attention to their daughter.

Lena (softly) Horrifica... we have to go now.

Thriller gives her a hug, his embrace warm and affectionate.

Horrifica nods, understanding but clearly saddened that her parents have to go. She returns their embraces, her arms firmly hugging them back.

Horrifica (quietly) I know... Goodbye, Mom and Dad. I love you.

With a heavy heart, Lena and Thriller bid farewell to Horrifica and set off on their journey back to the Grasslands. They silently walk side by side, both lost in their thoughts, their departure tinged with melancholy and a sense of separation.

Hades steps into his birth home, crossing the threshold and breathing in the familiar scent of home. It has been so long since he left, and the sight and feel of the place fill him with a mix of melancholic nostalgia and a sense of homecoming.

After their journey back, Lena and Thriller step into their home. Weary but eager to rest, they look around at the familiar surroundings, a sense of relief washing over them to be home at last.

Lena and Thriller look in the direction of Hades's voice. They see him standing there, a sight that instantly brings a wide smile to their faces.

Lena (excitedly) Hades!

Thriller (genuinely pleased) Son, you're home.

Hade:yes

Lena and Thriller walk over to Hades, their expressions filled with relief and joy at seeing their son home again.

Lena (with tears in her eyes) My little boy... I can hardly believe it. You're really back.

Thriller puts a hand on Hades shoulder, a proud smile forming on his face.

That night they eat dinnerxand then lay together to sleep as a family reunion together

The family gathers for a dinner that night, the table filled with the aroma of a home-cooked meal. They all sit together, eating and sharing in each other's company, the atmosphere warm and affectionate.

As the night grows late, they settle into their beds, their tiredness from the day's events weighing heavily on them. But even in their weariness, a sense of contentment and unity fills the home, brought on by their reunion as a family once more.

Hades: mom, can i sleep with you

Lena looks at Hades with a tender smile, her eyes soft in the dim light.

Lena (soothingly) Of course, sweetheart. You can sleep with me.

She moves a bit to one side to make room for him, patting the space next to her to indicate.

Hades lay with her

Lena puts an arm around Hades as he settles in next to her, pulling him close and cradling him like she used to when he was young.

Lena (softly) You comfortable, sweetheart?

Hades sheed a tear

Seeing the tear slip out of Hades's eye, Lena's expression softens even more. She reaches up, gently wiping the tear away.

Lena (softly) What's wrong, sweetheart? Are you okay?

Hades: yes mom

Lena continues to hold him close, her touch gentle and soothing.

Lena (reassuringly) It's okay... you're home now. You're safe.

She gently runs her fingers through his head, trying to soothe and comfort him.

Hades yawns

Hearing Hades yawn, Lena smiles tenderly.

Lena (quietly) You're tired, sweetheart. It's alright... you can sleep now.

She gently pats his head, the gesture filled with a mother's love and protection.

Hades sleep

Lena keeps her arm around Hades, holding him close as he drifts off into sleep. She watches him for a moment, her eyes filled with love and a hint of nostalgia for the days when he was younger and more vulnerable.

Lena (in a whisper) Sleep well, my baby...

She continues to hold him as he dreams, her embrace protective and caring.

To be continued....
