"So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right

Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white

After all you put me through

Don't say it wasn't true

That you were not the monster

That I knew..."

~Dear Evan Hanson, Requiem.

Huey:

Violet finished wrapping up the bandages around Huey's arm. "How does that feel?" she asked.

"A lot better, thanks, Violet."

Violet suddenly looked upset. "Llywellyn is going to pay for what he did today."

"Violet, this isn't Louie. I know you're upset, but Louie would never do anything like this on purpose."

"Think about it, Hubert! Llywellyn has always acted this way; a demon can't possess him forever, and when he's not, what do you honestly think he's doing? He is stronger than he's tried to lead us all to believe. If he wanted this to stop, he would've stopped it."

"Listen, Violet, I know you're worried about your sister, but I'm also worried about my brother. Maybe he has some control in the situation, or maybe he doesn't. I really don't care. He's my brother, and I'm going to help him find himself again."

"Look what he did to you and to Dewford," she said. "If he cared, he wouldn't have done that."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore," Huey said, leaving the room. "Not with you."

Louie:

"I never wanted to hurt them."

"I know...

But a few hurt feelings never killed anyone."

"It feels good to get it off my chest though, to yell at them."

"Yeah... it felt good."

"But it shouldn't... right?"

"Louie, you're allowed to feel... anyway you want to."

"But it's wrong. The way I feel is wrong."

"Well, they're wrong too.

They don't care about you. If they really did, you wouldn't feel the way you do. They deserved what they got and more."

"Did I do this? Did I really hurt my family? It all seems so blank to me."

"Louie, we need to focus on what happens next. I already told you my plan."

"More like half the plan."

"I won't start until you're ready..."

"Why do you care what I think?"

"I do.

But I'm not ready to tell you why.

I have plans.

The sooner we continue, the sooner you can figure it out."

"I don't care how much I already hurt them," Louie said. "I don't want to hurt them again."

"Louie... I won't let them hurt your family, I promise."

"Why should the demons take over anyway?"

"We need people to understand that we're people too. Surely you know what it's like to feel less than alive.

To be hated for who you are.

To be alone."

Louie took a long time to think about it.

What did he have to lose? His family didn't love him. If they did, they sure don't now... Lena's gone. How could they ever forgive him for all he's done?

Gad was the only one who understood him now; he thought Louie was worth something... Nobody has ever cared what he thought before. Louie needed a new life; it's too late to go back. "Okay, Gad," he said, "Go ahead."

Dewey:

He waited in the hall outside the lab for everyone. He was going to help, but everything seemed so hopeless. He wasn't going to be helpful anyway.

"Dewey, everyone's been looking everywhere for you. We think we may have a plan to help Louie."

"I wouldn't be much help. I'm not really good at planning or predicting."

Huey walked closer. "Are you okay?"

Dewey couldn't even face his brother. He just looked straight ahead. "Was he right? Is our family just using us for our abilities?"

"No. Of course not."

"Was he right about... literally everything else he said?"

"Dewey, listen, Uncle Donald just lied to us because he was worried, Della didn't mean to leave, and-"

"And what, Huey? Scrooge? Was Louie right? Are we just free labor to him? All these years and he's never visited, he's never even called."

"We don't know that."

"We don't know anything!" Dewey added, tears starting to pour down his face. "We don't know anything.."

Huey hugged Dewey as tight as he could.

"And now, Louie has betrayed us too. Who can I trust?" Dewey asked.

At the moment, Huey didn't know what to say to make this better. He didn't know what he could do to help Louie or fix this problem their family was facing, but he knew that he could be there for Dewey, and only for Dewey. He could hug him and just be there for him. "You can trust me, Dewey," he said.

Dewey said nothing.

"We'll get through this, together. Louie's just going through something. But we'll be here for him, and we'll help him get better".

"What if he doesn't come back?" he asked.

"He will."

"But-"

"He will."

"Why didn't he talk to us?" Dewey asked after a long pause.

"What?" Huey asked.

"If he was hurting so bad... why didn't he just talk to us? We would've listened."

"When you have a problem, Dewey, you know exactly where to go. Louie has always been idle... Dewey, he doesn't know how to ask."

Dewey thought about it for a moment.

"Guys, where have you been? There's an emergency at the bin!"

Huey:

"The demons are actually taking over, possessing people left and right," Scrooge explained.

"How could it go so wrong so fast?" Della asked. "I mean he's not even a teenager yet!"

"We need to keep the boys somewhere safe," Donald said.

"There's no place safer than here," Scrooge replied.

"Okay then. Kids, stay here, we'll-"

"No!"

"Excuse me?" Donald asked.

"I can't sit here and wait for things to happen," Dewey said. "I want to help find Louie."

Huey and Dewey looked up at Donald with pleading eyes.

Donald looked at Della.

Della got the message. "Dewey- Ah!"

Demons burst into the bin, possessing Gyro, Fenton, and even Manny.

"Dr Gearloose!" Huey yelled. "Fenton!"

"Headless Manhorse, nooo!" Dewey yelled.

Donald, Scrooge, Launchpad, and Della got in front of the kids to protect them...

The demons got closer and closer until they almost got to them then...

They stopped.

They tried, but they couldn't get to them.

"They- they can't hurt us!" Della said.

"But why?" Violet asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Huey asked. "Louie's protecting us!"

"I knew it!" Della shouted.

"So we're just going to pretend that the last couple hours never happened?" Violet asked.

"Not now, Violet!" Huey yelled.

Webby started to walk away from them, and she started growing a black patch of skin. "Webby!" Dewey grabbed her hand, and the patch faded quickly.

"Only blood related relatives are protected," Violet pointed out.

"No duh," Dewey said.

"Okay, new plan, we split up. Kids, grab on to each other's hands, and whatever you do, don't let go."

Violet wasn't happy that she had to hold Huey's hand, but Huey didn't care. He grabbed her hand and refused to let go of her.

"Find Louie," Scrooge said as he grabbed Launchpad's arm. "We'll fly around town on the Sunchaser. Kids, look near the bay, and Donald and Della, look through town. Meet back here in four hours."

Louie:

"You're not happy..."

"Sorry..."

"Louie... Why don't you just talk to me? You'll feel better."

"It hasn't worked yet," he said.

"Well..."

"What's this big plan of yours? If you're really as evil as they think you are, you know they'll destroy you!"

"What do you think? Do you think I'm evil?"

"I... I don't know..."

"Neither do I. In fact, we'll never know what's truly good and bad, not really... Where do we get the concept? It's just words society made up to justify themselves. I like to believe we're born with a bit of both, and in the end, we choose who we are. I also like to believe that someone out there knows what's truly good and what's truly evil. But for now, we only guess..."

Louie thought about that for a while. Gad sure liked to mess with his head.

"I guess it doesn't even matter now," Louie said. "I'm losing everyone I've ever cared about. What am I going to do with myself when this is all over?" Louie asked.

"Whatever you do will affect your life and my plan. I hope you make the right choice."

Huey:

The kids ran out to start their search. "Louie!" they yelled continually.

Huey found that every time a demon got close, he'd grip onto Violet tighter and tighter. He was upset, but he couldn't stay mad at her, no matter how much he tried.

"Look, Violet, I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier," he started to say.

"Don't apologize, Hubert, it was I who started it. I was the one being rude," she said.

"Yeah, but you were just upset, I understand," he said. "If it were my brother, I'd probably react the same."

"I appreciate the sympathy," she said.

"Violet!" she heard one of her dads yell.

"Father?" she yelled back.

"Indy, I found her!" Ty yelled.

"Where's Lena?" Indy asked.

"I-"

The demons came out of nowhere and took control of them.

"No! I can't lose them too!" Violet said and pulled against Huey.

"Violet, no! It's not safe!" Huey yelled back.

"Violet!" Webby yelled from behind them. "Don't do anything you'll regret."

She didn't care. She pulled away from Huey again and allowed herself to be taken.

"No!" Webby yelled.

"We have to keep going!" Dewey said.

"I'm slowing you down," Webby said.

"No, you're not. Webby, we need you."

Webby nodded and walked with them, but then Dewey tripped over a large rock and accidentally let go of her hand. "Keep going!" she yelled before being possessed.

"Webby!" Dewey yelled.

Huey grabbed Dewey's hand. "Come on, Dewey, the sooner we find Louie, the sooner we get the girls back," Huey said.
