Chapter 1: Prologue


Author's note: I'm baaackkkk! How's it going people? I've been trying to make new fics that aren't Descendants-related (or at least Ben-related), but I can't avoid it. So here I am, back with a sequel you guys are requesting.

Just a head's up―You have to read "Rotten To The Core" first, before reading this. It makes things clearer.


Disclaimer: I do not own Disney's Descendants or anything associated with it. I only own Hadrey and any other characters that come out here. Also, I don't own any of the songs featured in this book.

1. Starting Over - R5


Once Upon A Time, not long ago...
Okay, about a year ago.
A group of five kids who were born and raised by villains and pure evil went to Auradon due to an almost-kingly decree.
Emphasis on almost-kingly.
Yeah.
So, anyway.
The five had an adventure, eventually changed for the better and is now good.
Those five were us.
Sure, we had our moments, maybe even dragging the king along with our antics, but it was just silly child's play and we weren't planning on taking over Auradon anymore.
Ah, Auradon.
That's our place, now.
All sunshine, daisies and rainbows.
It lacked the dark factor that we were used to, but we were thankful for that.
And now, here we are.
Singing...
Again.


Soft sounds were heard in the gardens, before series of tunes followed.

Jay exited the rose garden.

Yeah, the same old scenery. Ain't round here, waiting for me anymore.

Mal exited the garden and skipped over to Jay with a smile.

Jay smiled as well, holding out his hand as he continued to sing.

Well, I-I-I'm onto something new. What I had before's out the door and it just won't do.

Mal turned and sang happily.

I gotta change it up, turn around, because I know what I need and now, I'm getting it now.

Evie and Carlos exited through the school's doors.

Gotta start it over.

The four laughed and danced around the empty gardens, reliving their times in the Isles.

Yeah, I gotta hit reset, begin again
Ain't never going back to where I've been, whoa whoa
Well, I'm starting over
Yeah, I'm gonna reboot, redo, check my flow
Keep moving along 'til I get where I wanna go, whoa
Cause I've been there, done that, ain't looking over my shoulder

Mal raised her head, staring up at the biggest dorm window, seeing it open.

I'm starting over.

A small laugh was heard through the garden, and a flurry of light blue was seeing flying down from the window.

A head popped out from the bush, harnessing a small grin.

Hadrey giggled and ran over to her friends.

I've been getting nowhere, and getting there fast, then a voice in my head said "you can't let this last".

Hadrey ran around, passing Jay who stood there, doing some silly dance moves.

That's all in the past.

Jay stopped dancing, holding his hands up to his mouth and echoing Hadrey, causing their friends to laugh.

That's all in the past!

Hadrey stopped running to roll her eyes and scoffing before running once again.

Sometimes you gotta take a chance, take a risk, find out everything out there that you've missed.

Hands wrapped around Hadrey's waist.
She turned her head to see Ben smiling down at her.

Start Over.

Ben laughed and twirled her around, singing along with her and her friends.

Yeah, I gotta hit reset, begin again
Ain't never going back to where I've been, whoa whoa
Well, I'm starting over
Yeah, I'm gonna reboot, redo, check my flow
Keep moving along 'til I get where I wanna go, whoa
Cause I've been there, done that, ain't looking over my shoulder

Ben pulled Hadrey and twirled her around before hugging her close.

I'm starting over.

Tunes played out even more louder, due to Mal and Hadrey swishing their hands around and playing with their magic.

Students peered out of their dorms, seeing the king and queen and their friends dance around in the school gardens like normal teenage people.

Students filed out into the gardens and danced along.

Ben pulled Hadrey close to him, putting his lips near her ear to sing.

Yeah, I'm gonna hit reset, begin again.

Hadrey smirked and twirled out of Ben's arms just as the music intensified.

Ain't never going back to where I've been woah-oh.

Everybody sang along.

I'm starting over.

Hadrey grinned and put her hands on Ben's shoulders.

Yeah, I'm gonna redo, reboot, check my flow.
Keep moving along until I get where I want to go.
Because I've been there done that ain't looking over my shoulder.

The music stopped, along with all the people dancing as they stared at Hadrey, who leaned in closer to Ben and sang alone.

I'm starting over.

The music started again, everybody cheering and dancing.

Yeah, I'm dreaming, something new.
Oh, and how we'll go, only you can do.

Ben smiled.

I'm starting over.

Jay, Carlos, Mal and Evie followed.

Starting over.

Everybody in the garden followed as well.

Starting over, yeah.

Hadrey hung there, only Ben's hands keeping her from falling as she smiled blissfully.

The rest of the people around her cheered as her friends lauged and enjoyed themselves.

And at that moment, that was all that mattered to Hadrey.

They were safe.

They were the Descendants.

They were the Saviors of Auradon.
