In a giant conference room, a bunch of adults sat in solemn silence. Amongst their ranks sat Aladdin, Quasimodo, King Beast, King Arthur, and Queen Aurora. Most of the council, for one reason or another, could not be there.

Aurora broke the silence. "So what do we know about last night?"

Aladdin spoke up. "Not much. We've got at least eight dead security guards. They took out most of the security cameras. But there was one they missed."

"Is there any footage on that camera that we can view?" asked Quasimodo.

King Beast looked up. "I was able to look at it earlier with Belle. I'll bring it up on the screen for us all to see."

Beast pressed a button. Next thing they knew, the giant monitor behind them was filled with what little footage the camera had managed to obtain.

"There's some footage that's a little grainy. But we should be able to at least make the identities of the assailants from last night."

Beast fast-forwarded until they say all four culprits on screen in the museum.

It was then that King Arthur spoke up for the first time that meeting. "Wait." He pointed to one of the figures: the one with the broadsword. "Is there some way you can zoom in on that one's face?" Ben pressed on his remote. Within seconds they had a better view his face. Arthur silently cursed under his breath.

"What is it? Do you recognize him?" asked Aurora, a tone of sympathy in her voice.

"Or course I recognize him. He's my own son, Mordred."

Soon there were murmurs amongst the rest of the council.

"Poor Guinevere's feared for him ever since the day he was born. Merlin always sensed much darkness in his heart. We thought that if we sent him to study under Merlin like he taught me, it would do him some good. But there was just so much hate in him. In the end he turned on us all and nearly killed Merlin. I've been trying to find him ever since."

King Beast pressed on with the footage. Next there was the young man with the rifle.

"Does anyone recognize this one?"

Quasimodo pulled out a dossier that he had found which contained the rap sheets of the various known criminals and repeat offenders that they had on record. He dug through it until he found one with a face that matched the one on the screen.

"Here we go. It says here his name is Carter Clayton, son of John Clayton. Like his dad he's said to be an expert marksman. According to Eugene, he's apparently responsible for a good amount of our dead guards last night."

Again there was more murmuring among the council.

King Beast then zoomed in on the young lady wielding the two cutlasses. Once more Quasimodo looked through his records.

"Says here her name is Katerina, daughter of Captain Hook. She's an expert swordsman and handy with firearms and explosives. Not above fighting dirty. Just like any other pirate."

And finally that left the young man in a trench coat smoking a cigarette. Quasimodo looked through his records one final time. When he thought he came to the matching one, he froze as if completely taken over by fear.

"What is it Quasi? Do you know who this guy is?" asked Beast.

"I have an idea, but it isn't pretty."

"Well out with it. We need to know who we're dealing with."

"You're not going to like this. According to this, the young man before us…is Pluto, son of Hades."

Everyone in the room fell completely silent.

Beast cleared his throat. "Well that certainly raises the threat level. Do we have any idea on what was stolen?"

Aladdin shook his head. "According to the reports, the only thing stolen was the spindle and Captain Jack's compass."

Aurora interjected. "Why go to all this trouble just to steal two invaluable things?"

Arthur raised a finger. "The spindle may not be much on its own, but if one is clever it may possess a talent few people even have knowledge of. As for the compass, remember that it can lead anyone to what their heart desires. And in this case I think I know exactly what he is after."

Beast spoke with a worried look on his face. "You don't think he's trying to fulfill the requirements of the forbidden spell, do you?"

"That's exactly what I think are his intentions. I just wish I knew what two items he intends to acquire next."

Suddenly the doors burst open and in came Eugene Fitzherbert, the new head of security after the untimely death of Frank.

"Hey guys just thought you should know while we continued our investigation we were able to find this. It looks to be some sort of list."

He handed it to Beast who then passed it around to everyone else in the room.

Aurora pondered what this meant. "What are these items on the list?"

"These are all potential items needed to complete the forbidden spell. Notice how the spindle is near the top of the list."

Aladdin pointed something out. "And look, this one at the bottom is circled."

Beast put the list down. "I'd say this is as good as any lead on where it is Pluto and his gang is headed to next. Now we must decide on how to proceed."

Quasimodo spoke up. "We should assemble a team to intercept them and bring them back here for punishment. The only question is who?"

It was Aurora's turn to speak. "I think it should be led by your son Ben. He's a natural leader and the one most suited to the task."

Beast shook his head. "'I don't like it. But of this needs to be done, then so be it. Anyone else?"

Quasimodo spoke up. "I believe it should be the villain kids. I've read their profiles; I think I can make it so they can agree to this mission without arousing too much of their suspicion. "

Beast frowned. "You're sure of this?"

"Yes."

"Very well then."

Beast turned to address Eugene.

"Eugene, find my son and tell him to get Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos to come to us as soon as possible."
