Five Hearts As One
Disclaimer: I do not own Descendants, Spyro or any of the characters in both
Author's Note: In this story, Spyro is Malefor's son and the jacket he wears resembles the one Jeffrey Dean Morgan wears in The Walking Dead
"Once upon a time, long, long ago..." A boy's voice began.
"Well, more like 20 years ago, Belle married her Beast in front of 6,000 of their closest personal friends... Big cake." A girl's voice said
"Yeah, so instead of a honeymoon, Beast united all of the kingdoms and got himself elected King of the United States of Auradon!" The boy picked up.
"He rounded up all the villains and the sidekicks-" The girl added.
"Basically, all the really interesting people." The boy interrupted.
"And he booted them off to the Isle of the Lost, with a magical barrier to keep them there." The girl continued.
"This is our hood." The boy said. "No magic."
"No Wi-Fi." The girl said.
"No way out." The two said in unison. "Or so we thought."
"Hang on. You're about to meet us." The girl said.
"But first... this happened." The boy finished.
Prince Benjamin and Cynder, who both grew up together and looked at each other as siblings and even called each other brother and sister at times, looked out to the Isle of the Lost as Ben was getting a fitting done for his coronation tux, as Ben was next in line to be crowned King of Auradon.
Cynder was in her human form, which was a teenage girl with pale skin, her chest length silver dyed hair with streaks of white tied back in a ponytail, emerald green eyes, a magenta short sleeved shirt, two silver bracelets on her wrists and a matching choker around her neck, dark jeans, and boots.
They both knew that some of the inhabitants of the island have kids of their own, and felt guilty, as these kids had done nothing to be locked away on that dreadful piece of rock.
Ben's parents soon walked into Ben's room arm in arm, smiling proudly at their son.
"How is it possible that you're gonna be crowned King next month?" King Beast asked. "You're just a baby."
"He's turning 16, dear." Queen Belle said then set to folding some of Ben's clothes with Cynder's help.
"Hey, Pops." Ben said.
"16?! That's far too young to be crowned King. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least 42." Beast joked.
Belle didn't look amused. "Uh, you decided to marry me at 28." She said.
"Well, it was either you or a teapot." The current King said, winking at Ben, who laughed a little while Cynder stifled a giggle. "Kidding." Beast then said, waggling his eyebrows at the two "siblings".
"Mom, Dad." Ben started, moving to step off the pedestal, but the tailor wouldn't allow it. "Thanks to Cynder's encouragement, I've chosen my first official proclamation." Belle and Beast exchanged a look before Ben continued, "I've decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost be given a chance... to live here in Auradon."
His parents were stunned, to say the least. Belle even dropped Ben's coat.
"Every time we look out to the island, we feel like they've been abandoned." Ben added, walking to his parents.
"The children of our sworn enemies, living among us?" Beast questioned, secretly thinking this was a joke that Cynder came up with, as the black dragoness had been known to play a prank or two.
"We start out with a few at first, only the ones who need our help the most." Cynder said, her tone indicating that she and Ben were far from joking.
Ben nodded in agreement. "And I've already chosen them." Ben said.
"Have you?" Beast asked sarcastically.
"I gave you a second chance." Belle reminded her husband then turned back to the two teens. "Who are their parents?"
Ben took a deep breath. "Cruella de Vil, Jafar, Evil Queen, Maleficent..."
It was that moment Ben's father spoke, "Maleficent?!"
"There's one more you should know about, Your Highness." Cynder said.
Beast took a deep breath and calmed down as he prepared to hear this final selected child's name. "Okay. Who is the sixth?" He asked when he was calm.
Ben and Cynder both took a deep then Ben replied with, "And Malefor."
Hearing that name made the tailor squeak.
"Malefor?!" Beast shouted, no longer calm again. "He is the worst villain in the land!"
"Dad, just hear me out here." Ben said, but Beast cut him off.
"I won't hear of it. They are guilty of unspeakable crimes!" He said as the tailor left the room.
"Sire, their children are innocent!" Cynder countered. "Don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life?"
Belle and Beast were silent after that. They and Ben knew Cynder was never afraid to speak her mind.
"I suppose the children are innocent." Beast conceded.
Belle straightened her son's jacket. "Well... Well done. Both of you." She praised them then she and Beast left Ben's room.
Cynder placed a hand on Ben's shoulder. "No matter what your folks think, I believe this is a good idea, Ben." She assured him, making him smile.
"Thanks, sis." He said then the two looked out to the Isle of the Lost again.
On the Isle of the Lost, two teens, one a boy with a muscular body who had hair as black as night under a red bandana, wearing a zipped up black leather biker jacket with spikes sticking out on the shoulders, which had an icon of a dragon's claws tearing through something, over a white shirt, dark jeans, and the other a girl with purple shoulder length hair, who wore leather with purple, pink, and green with an icon of a dragon heart on the back, one half a darker shade of green than the other half, along with combat boots, spray painted silhouettes of the villainess fairy Maleficent amidst green flames with the words Long Live Evil in green, and the villainous dragon Malefor amidst purple flames with the same words, only in purple.
Finishing their work, the two turned around, revealing the boy had dark and blood red eyes while the girl had bright and malevolent green eyes, but both had a smirk that went with the words they soon sang, with the boy as backup.
"They say I'm trouble, they say I'm bad, they say I'm evil, and that makes me glad..." They sang, the boy purposely shoving someone as they walked, ignoring the glare he received.
Not too far away from them, another muscular boy with longer brown hair, who wore a vest of yellow, blue, and purple in front, but red in the back with an icon of a cobra, and a red beanie, took up the tune. "A dirty no good, down to the bone, your worst nightmare, can't take me home..." He joined as he jumped from a roof and climbed a ladder down then opened a sliding door, much to the annoyance of a woman in passing.
At a long table where people were trying to eat, a girl with hair as blue as the ocean, while wearing a blue leather cape over a blue leather top, fingerless gloves, spiderweb-like stockings, and boots with an icon of a cracked crown on the back of her cape, strutted across said table like she were a model on a catwalk, flipping her hair as she sang in her fairest voice, "So I got some mischief in my blood, can you blame me? I never got no love..." as she slipped under a bar, giving a guy a charming wink before she stalked off.
Elsewhere, a boy with black and white hair while wearing black, white, and red with an icon of crossbones that were half white and half black darted out a window with a smirk on his puppy-dog face as he sang, "They think I'm callous, a lowlife hood, I feel so useless..." as he snatched a bandana from a man's pocket then took an apple from a little girl then then took a bite of it as all six shouted,
"Misunderstood!"
The three teenage girls joined up in an alley as a teenage purple dragon glided in from behind then landed next to the purple haired girl and transformed into the boy with red eyes without missing a beat, with the blue haired girl walking beside the purple haired girl with her hands on her hips and the girl with black hair next to the boy, who kept his dragon claws out as all four sang, "Mirror mirror, on the wall, who's the baddest of them all? Welcome to my wicked world, wicked world..."
All five soon met up at a chainlink fence, throwing it open as they began causing trouble while singing, "I'm rotten to the core, core, rotten to the core, I'm rotten to the core, core, who could ask for more? I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door, I'm rotten to the core, I'm rotten to the, I'm rotten to the core..."
The five banged sticks they had on metal barrels and pipes as they passed, whooping and laughing as they did so.
The boy with red eyes and the purple haired girl soon made their way to a shelter of various sheets and blankets, passing a bored fortune teller, two cans of spray paint ready, one for both of them as they sang, "Call me a schemer, call me a freak, how can you say that? I'm just... unique." while spray painting the letters 'M, and 'S' on a shower curtain then opening it before they took off, not caring that someone was in a bathtub behind the curtain, laughing.
The boy with the beanie did a flip from above two people at a table then he picked up a teapot as he sang, "What me, a traitor? Ain't got your back? Are we not friends? What's up with that?" as he jumped over the table, taking the tablecloth and teapot with him.
The blue haired girl walked through many scarves before pulling one off of a merchant as she sang, "So I'm a misfit, so I'm a flirt, I broke your heart? I made ya hurt?" then she disappeared into the scarves, flashing a smile at the man beforehand.
The black and white haired boy sped through the market, knocking over various barrels and baskets of fruit before putting an empty basket over a woman's head as he sang, "The past is past, forgive forget, the truth is..." then swung from a low bar as all five shouted
"You ain't seen nothing yet!"
The woman yelled at him and he laughed while throwing hay at her then he and the blood red haired boy jumped off a table, the red eyed boy doing a backflip in the process then he grew his dragon tail as he and the other muscular boy swung from a metal beam, the boy with the beanie using his arms while the other swinging boy used his tail while the two girls were above them and they, along with the red eyed boy, sang "Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the baddest of them all? Welcome to my wicked world, wicked world..."
The two swinging boys jumped off, the red eyed boy transforming into his dragon form and he flew with the running girls.
All five then met up in the main street and had a dance break, the blood red haired boy back in his human form again, before singing "I'm rotten to the core, core, rotten to the core, I'm rotten to the core, core, who could ask for more? I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door, I'm rotten to the core, I'm rotten to the, I'm rotten to the core."
The purple haired girl blew her bangs away from her face as the red eyed boy snatched a lollipop from a baby, laughing then he turned to his friends and the others with them and let out a triumphant roar while the others laughed, but then the crowd dispersed and the blood red haired boy picked an all too familiar scent then he cleared his throat and his smile became more forced as he turned to several creatures that held axes, but he addressed the one behind the four creatures.
"Hi, dad." He said and the creatures made a hole to reveal a man with yellow cat eyes and a hand on a sword.
The man did not look pleased. "Stealing candy, Spyro? I'm very disappointed." He said.
"It was from a baby, Malefor." The purple haired girl said to the man.
Malefor smiled wickedly at his son. "That's my boy." He said, taking the lollipop from Spyro, who laughed until Malefor spat on the lollipop then held it under his arm for a few seconds before handing it to one of his minions. "Give it back to the dreadful creature." He ordered.
Spyro sighed in frustration. "Dad..." He started.
"It's the deets, Spyro, that make the difference between mean and truly evil!" The Dark Master explained. "When I was your age, I was waging an entire war." He said, ignoring the fact that his son was mouthing the same words. "You!" He laughed. "Walk with me." He said then the two dragons walked a bit away from Spyro's friends. "Son, I'm just... I'm just trying to teach you the thing that really counts: How to be me."
Spyro nodded. "I know that. And I'll do better." He said.
His friends frowned, but the purple haired girl's frown was a bit deeper than the others'.
Silence followed for a second before Malefor said "Oh! There's news!" as he walked back to his minions, who walked behind Spyro's friends. "You five have been chosen to go to a different school..." Malefor started, pausing for dramatic effect before finishing with "in Auradon."
All but Spyro and the purple haired girl tried to run, only to be stopped by Malefor's minions.
"What?!" Spyro exclaimed.
"This better be a joke." The purple haired girl said.
Malefor shook his head at her. "No joke, Mal." He said.
"I'm not going to some boarding school filled to the brim with prissy pink princesses." Mal said.
"And perfect princes!" The blue haired girl said dreamily before feigning a look of disgust.
"Yeah, and I don't do uniforms. Unless it's leather. You fill me?" The boy with the beanie said.
The black and white haired boy looked scared. "I read somewhere that they allow dogs in Auradon. Mom said they're rabid pack animals who eat boys who don't behave." He saidx
The boy with the beanie snuck up behind the black and white haired boy and barked, making the latter jump then hit the more muscular one in the stomach.
"Yeah, Dad, we're not going!" Spyro overall ruled.
"Oh, you're thinking small, sonny-boy. It's all about world domination!" Malefor said then looked at his minions. "Idiots!" He said then started walking away as Spyro looked at his friends, before they all followed after him and his father.
In an apartment, the six teens were gathered with their parents, Malefor, the Evil Fairy and Malefor's "sister", Maleficent, the beauty obsessed Evil Queen Grimhilde, the former Agrabahn vizier, Jafar, and harridan extraordinaire, Cruella de Vil.
"You will go. You will find the Fairy Godmother, and you will bring us back her magic wand." Malefor said as Maleficent blew on her nails while she used a nail file.
"Easy-peasy." The Dark Fairy said.
"What's in it for us?" Spyro asked his father.
Malefor started to list a few things, but Carlos soon said "I think he meant us." He said.
"Yeah, the five of us, Dad." Spyro said, gesturing to himself and his friends.
Malefor simply beckoned his son closer and Spyro walked closer to his father while Mal walked closer to her mother.
"It's all about the four of us, baby." Maleficent said to Mal.
"Do you two enjoy watching innocent people suffer?" Malefor asked Spyro and Mal.
"Well, yeah." Spyro said.
"I mean, who doesn't...?" Mal started.
"Well, then get us the wand, and the four of us can see all that and so much more." Maleficent said, cutting her daughter off.
"And with that wand and my sword, I will be able to bend both good and evil to my will!" Malefor said.
"Our will." Evil Queen corrected.
"Our will, our will." Malefor corrected as Maleficent looked at her daughter.
"And if you refuse, you're grounded for the rest of your life, missy." Maleficent said.
"Same to you, young dragon." Malefor said to Spyro.
"Aw, come on, Dad!" Spyro started while Mal and her mother both had glowing green eyes, which meant they were having their usual stare down. Unfortunately, Mal lost, as usual.
At the same time, Spyro and Malefor, on the other hand, were both in their dragon forms, with Malefor easily towering Spyro and the two were snarling and growling at each other with Spyro ultimately bowing down, like always.
"Fine. Whatever." The two teens said in unison.
"I win." Malefor and Maleficent said at the same time as the two male dragons changed back into their human forms.
"Evie! My little evil-ette in training." Grimhilde called and the blue haired girl sat next to her mother. "You just find yourself a prince with a big castle and a mother-in-law wing." She started.
"And lots and lots of mirrors." The mother-daughter duo finished in unison with Evie smiling giddily and laughing, until her mother said "No laughing. Wrinkles." With that, Evie instantly stopped smiling.
"Well, they're not taking my Carlos, because I'd miss him too much." Cruella said, pinching the black and white haired boy's cheeks.
"Really, Mom?" Carlos asked, sounding a bit surprised.
"Yes. Who would touch up my roots, fluff my fur and scrape the bunions off my feet?" Cruella asked, kicking up her leg.
"Yeah, maybe a new school wouldn't be the worst thing." Carlos mumbled.
"Carlos, they have dogs in Auradon." Cruella reminded him.
Carlos's face instantly paled and he shook his head wildly at Malefor and Maleficent as he said, "Oh, no! I'm not going!"
Hearing this, the villainous dragon and evil fairy groaned in frustration.
"Well, Jay isn't going, either. I need him to stock the shelves in my store." Jafar said then asked Jay what all he got and Jay pulled out the various things he'd stolen, including a lamp. Jafar tried rubbing it, but stopped when Jay said he'd already tried.
"Evie's not going anywhere until we get rid of this unibrow." Evil Queen said, making Evie cringe a bit and cover the space between her eyebrows.
"What is wrong with you all?!" Malefor shouted, grabbing hold of his son's arm as he said, "People used to cower at he very mention of our names!" as Spyro sat down at the table. Carlos moved to hide behind his mother as the Dark Master continued. "For 20 years, I have searched for a way off this cursed island! For 20 years, they have robbed us from our revenge!" He said then looked at Evil Queen as he said "Revenge on Snow White and her horrible little men!"
Evil Queen scowled and Evie frowned as Malefor turned to Jafar and said "Revenge on Aladdin and his bloated Genie!"
Jafar looked furious as he said "I will..." as Jay calmed him down but Malefor ignored the turban wearing man and his son then turned to Cruella and said "Revenge on every sneaky Dalmatian that escaped your clutches!"
"Oh, but they didn't get Baby." Cruella said, squeaking the stuffed dog on her left shoulder and letting out a wheezing laugh as she said "They didn't get the Baby!"
Malefor turned to Maleficent and said "Revenge on Sleeping Beauty and her relentless little prince!"
Maleficent's eyes glowed green again as she said "Why, you ungrateful little..." but Malefor didn't let her finish as he said "And I, Malefor, the evilest one of all, I will finally have my revenge on those foolish Guardians for denying me my rightful throne." He finished as Maleficent sat on the Evil Queen's lap, holding a small mirror. "Villains!" He said, an echo of 'Yeses' following afterward. "Our day has come." He said.
"EQ, give her the Magic Mirror." Maleficent said.
Evil Queen handed Evie a small handheld mirror that had some pieces missing.
"This is your Magic Mirror?" Evie asked, a bit disappointed as she held it and looked at it.
"Yeah, well, it ain't what it used to be, but then again, neither are we." Her mother said, making herself and Maleficent chuckle, before she continued with "It will help you find things."
"Like a prince!" Evie breathed out.
"Like my waistline." Evil Queen said.
"Like the Magic Wand?! Hello!" Malefor snarled, clearly losing his patience.
"Hello." Evil Queen said, apparently oblivious to the fact that Malefor's patience was running thin.
The Dark Master soon had a look of thought. "Hmm, Maleficent, what did I do with that old dagger?" Malefor asked.
"Over there by the door." The evil fairy said and Malefor picked up a gauntlet, then said, "Come, Son."
Spyro walked to his father, who handed him the gauntlet. Spyro put it on his left wrist then made a fist, activating a purple dagger of energy and sliced through the air with it. "Nice." He thought aloud.
"Never go anywhere without it." Malefor instructed and Spyro nodded.
"My spell book. My book. I need my... That book." Maleficent muttered and Malefor pointed his tail at the refrigerator, and she looked at it. "Oh? Ah! The safe! The safe!" She said, but somehow, couldn't open it. "Queen, help me! I never can figure this thing out!"
Evil Queen got up and helped Maleficent open the refrigerator. "Voilà." She said.
"Come, darling. Come." Maleficent said, not even thanking Evil Queen as she simply reached in the freezer.
Mal walked to her mother as Maleficent pulled out an old book, bouncing it a bit because of how cold it was. "There she is... It doesn't work here, but it will in Auradon." She said before looking at Evil Queen. "Remember, when we were spreading evil and ruining lives?"
"Like it was yesterday." Evil Queen said as if remembering it fondly.
Maleficent turned her attention back to her daughter. "And now, you will be making your own memories..." She said then started to hand her the book until she pulled it back, saying "by doing exactly as I tell you." then she shoved the book into Mal's hands and Evil Queen shut the refrigerator door as a horn soon sounded. "Well, let's get this party started." Jay said as Malefor and Maleficent led their kids to the balcony.
"Carlos, come!" Cruella said.
"Who is the fairest of them all?" Evil Queen asked Evie.
"Me." Evie replied, causing her mother to make a sound and Evie corrected herself by saying "You."
"Yes! Let's go." Her mother said.
"Now, recite our mantra." Jafar said to Jay.
"There's no team in I." Jay said.
"Oh. Run along. You're making me tear up." Jafar said then the two headed out, with Jafar stealing a few things from the table on the way out the door.
On the balcony, Malefor and Maleficent walked out with Spyro and Mal as the four looked out to Auradon. "The future of the free world rests on your shoulders." Maleficent said to the teens.
"Don't blow it." Malefor said to them as he and Maleficent walked back inside.
Spyro scoffed quietly. "No pressure or anything." He muttered to Mal.
"Right?" She asked as the two were called back inside to get their things.
Next stop for these troublemakers: Auradon.
