Here is chapter three.

Two years ago...

It's Mal 14th birthday and she's having a party at her mother's castle. She invited every descendant on the Isle, especially Carlos. The only descendant she didn't invite is, of course, Evie. But that didn't stop the daughter of Evil Queen from arriving.

"Well, well, well. Look who decided to crash the party," started Mal.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the woman of the hour," Evie talked back.

"I don't remember giving you an invitation," said Mal sarcastically.

"I'm here for Carlos," said Evie.

"Your boyfriend? Now, where is he? Oh, maybe I left with some kids who like to pick on him," said Mal with a devious smile on her face.

"Why you...!" started Evie. She and Mal are in a stare-off until...

"Evie!" shouted Carlos. Evie quickly ran to the direction of the shout.

Three teenagers were bullying Carlos until Evie steps in. She comforts Carlos and looks back at the bullies.

"Alright, that's enough!" said Evie.

"Aww... worried about your boyfriend?" teased one boy.

"How 'bout we give them some alone time," teased another as he and his friends left Evie and Carlos alone.

Evie looks back at Carlos and asks him, "Are you okay?"

"Well, besides the damaged ribs, sore shoulder, and bleeding nose, I feel 100%," said Carlos sarcastically.

"Carlos!" scolded Evie.

"I'm sorry," apologized Carlos. "Thanks for being there for me, Evie."

"You were there for me when Mal left me to rot, now I'm here for you. Consider us even," said Evie. The two smiled at each other until Mal steps in.

"Aww, that's sweet," teased Mal. "Hey, Evie, if you need a bridesmaid for you wedding, I would be happy to volunteer."

"When are you going to stop?" started Evie.

"Hello, I'm Maleficent's daughter. I'm supposed to be mal-icious, mal-evolent, and mal-ignant. What do you expect?" retorted Mal.

"We're fellow up-and-coming villains. Do we have to be mean to each other?" said Evie.

"Do you want us to play nice? That's for heroes," said Mal.

"Stop it! Both of you!" shouted Carlos. "Look, Mal, I agree that playing nice is for heroes, but Evie's right. We're the next generation of villains. If we keep inflicting harm upon each other, none of us will be alive to live up to our parents' legacies. How 'bout you two shake hands and start over?"

Mal and Evie crossed their arms and looked away from each other and Carlos, with angry looks on their faces. Carlos decided to leave the party, but he felt a light bulb pop up above his head.

"I think I know how I can get those two to get along," said the son of Cruella de Vil to himself.


The sun was setting on this no-longer-ordinary day in Auradon. Audrey, Chad, Lonnie, Jane, and Doug, along with some guards from Castle Beast, see to it that every citizen in the kingdom is safely in their homes until King Ben confirms that the crisis has been averted. They immediately returns to the castle to report.

"You guys did it?" asked Ben.

"Yeah. Everyone is inside their homes until you give the word," answered Audrey.

"Any word from Mal? Or the others? asked Ben.

"I'm sorry, but no," answered Jane.

Ben hangs his head in response, worried about his girlfriend and his friends. Chad puts his hand on the young king's shoulder and said, "Calm down, dude. This is Maleficent's daughter we're talking about. You saw what she did at your coronation. She can take care of herself."

"I know, but I'm worried," said Ben.

"Well, you don't have to worry anymore," said a familiar voice. The king and his friends turned around to see Mal, along with Evie, Jay, and Carlos. Mal and Ben exchanged looks before walking towards each other. They gave each other a big hug, happy to be reunited. This puts a smile on the faces of everyone present in the room. When the couple retreated from the hug, Ben leans in to kiss Mal, but just like at the coronation ceremony, Mal turns her head and offers her cheek.

"Is it always going to be like this?" asked Ben.

"Be patient, your majesty," said Mal. "One day, you'll get your first kiss."

"Doug!" screamed Evie in delight. She rushes over to the dwarf and gave him a big hug, which he returns. The sight of this made Carlos hang his head in sadness.

Audrey approached Jay and saw the sword he brought from the Isle. "Is that a sword?"

"Souvenir," answered Jay.

"So, what happened?" asked Ben.

"Well, we were on a rescue mission to save Evie. Unfortunately, we had to make a deal with our parents. My spellbook for Evie. I had no choice," explained Mal. "They escaped and sealed us in the Isle, but thanks to Carlos' ingenuity, we made it out. I don't know what our parents are up to, but we have to find them."

"I think I may have an idea what they're up to," said Evie.

"How?" asked Mal.

"They said they needed Maleficent to lead them. After all, she is the evilest of them all," explained Evie.

After carefully thinking, Mal's eyes widened when she realized what the villains were planning. "They're going to turn mom back to normal and take over Auradon."

"Isn't your mom held up in the museum?" asked Jay.

"Yes," answered Mal. "We have to get there. Now!"


Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella de Vil have arrived at the Museum of Cultural History. They easily took out the security guard with Evie's sleeping perfume. While Cruella checks the security footage to look for Maleficent, Evil Queen and Jafar look at Maleficent's Spinning Wheel.

"Kinda looks dorky, don't you think?" said Jafar.

"Indeed," agreed Evil Queen and they both started chuckling, until Cruella interrupted them.

"Found her," she said. "She's in the Gallery of Villains."

Meanwhile, the Descendants have arrived at the museum. The first thing they saw through the front door was a sleeping guard.

"Sleeping perfume?" guessed Mal.

"Yup," confirmed Evie.

They enter the building and check the security footage to look for their parents. They found them heading for the Gallery of Villains.

"Alright, again. Is everyone prepared?" asked Mal.

"Lock and load," responded Evie, holding a sleeping gas bomb.

"I'm ready," responded Jay, showing his sword.

"Not really," responded Carlos, nervous and a little scared.

"Carlos!" yelled the rest.

Carlos sighs and shows everyone his stink bomb.

"Let's move out," ordered Mal. "But remember. Stealth." Her friends nodded in response.

The Descendants sneak through the museum to make sure their parents don't know that they're following them. They saw the villains taking the stairs to the Gallery of Villains. They were getting prepared to ambush them until...

SMASH!

Carlos accidentally knocks over a vase and it breaks into little pieces upon impact with the floor. The alarms sounded. Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella now know someone is on to them and rush to the villain gallery as fast as they can.

"Carlos!" yelled Mal, Evie, and Jay.

"Sorry!" apologized Carlos. "I can fix it."

"Carlos!" yelled his friends again.

Mal, Evie, and Jay rush upstairs while Carlos heads back to the control console to shut off the alarm. Upstairs, the villains arrive to the villain gallery and are stunned at the life-sized statues of themselves.

"Do I really look that fat?" started Jafar, looking at his statue.

"I look way more beautiful than that," criticized Evil Queen, looking at her statue.

"Does my hair really look like that?" questioned Cruella, looking at her statue. She saw the empty shoulder and exclaims, "Where's my precious?" She squeezes the stuffed dog on her shoulder. "Don't worry, little one. Mommy will never forget you."

"There's Maleficent," said Jafar, pointing at the lizard in a glass display case.

"Do you have the potion?" asked Evil Queen. Jafar responds by showing it to her.

"Stop right there!" yelled a familiar voice. The villains turn to see Mal, Evie, and Jay arriving to stop them.

"Where's Carlos?" asked Cruella.

"He fell back to shut off the alarm. The alarm he triggered," answered Mal. "Let me guess. That's what you needed the spellbook for? To make a potion to turn my mom back to normal?"

"Pretty much," answered Jafar.

"Hand it over and spare yourselves the trouble," threatened Mal.

"So this is how it's going to go down?" guessed Evil Queen.

"Good old-fashioned good vs. evil," finished Mal.

"So be it," said Jafar.

Before the battle could start, Carlos shows up.

"Well, alarms are off," reported Carlos.

"I think we heard," said Mal sarcastically.

"So, let's do this," said Carlos as he pulls out his taser and gets into his fighting stance. Evie takes out her sleeping gas grenade and Jay draws his sword.

"Forces of nature, hear my desire, give me power over fire," chanted Mal. Her hands are suddenly on fire. "Ready to feel the burn?"

"Keep them busy. There's something I need to get," said Jafar as he ran further into the villain gallery.

"Jay, go after your father," ordered Mal. Jay did so. "The rest of you, keep my mother out of their hands."

Mal shoots fire at Evil Queen, but she ducked. Mal shoots a fire blast at Cruella, but she hid behind her statue. Carlos and Evie each engaged their parents while Mal stands by her mother's statue.

"I just want you to know, mother, I'm gonna feel really sorry about this," said Evie as she gave her a punch to the face, knocking her down to the floor. She then sets the bomb to blow and drops it as she ran to a safe distance. The bomb explodes and unleashes sleeping gas, putting Evil Queen to sleep.

Carlos climbs up to his mother's statue and surprised his mother by leaping to the ground. Carlos activates his stink bomb, but before he throws it, he says, "Before I do this, I just want to say I'm sorry." He throws the bomb to the ground and the explosion covers her mother in a stink cloud, causing her to pass out.

Meanwhile, Jafar got what he was looking for. His scepter. Jay arrives and prepares to fight his father.

"Don't make do this, dad," warned Jay.

"You won't have to," said Jafar as he points the scepter at his son, hypnotizing him. "Now drop the sword." Jay obeyed. "Now, it's time for you to do your old man a favor."

Jay returns to his friends, but all of a sudden, he subdues Mal by keeping her from using her hands. Jafar arrives and runs towards the glass case holding Maleficent. He releases the lizard and pours one drop of the potion on her. The lizard begins to grow until it successfully transforms to Maleficent. Mal, Evie, and Carlos watch in horror as the evilest villain in history has returned.


Two years ago...

Evie arrives at the location where Carlos asked her to be. She read again the note he gave sent to her:

"Evie, can you meet me at Captain Hook's cabin?

- Carlos"

She hides behind a crate to avoid being spotted by the one-handed pirate as she waits for her best friend. But the first person she saw was Mal, who was trying to sneak into the cabin. When they saw each other, they immediately greeted each other with glares.

"What are you doing here?" asked Mal.

"What are you doing here?" asked Evie.

"Well, since you asked..." Mal takes out a piece of paper and shows Evie what it says:

"Up for a heist at Captain Hook's place?

- Jay"

"Funny, Carlos invited me here too," said Evie.

"I've been here for ten minutes and the master of thievery hasn't showed up," mentioned Mal.

"I just showed up," said Evie.

The two waited for their respective partners, but after twenty minutes, neither of them showed up. Evie decided to break the silence.

"So, how was your birthday party yesterday?" asked Evie.

"What business is that of yours?" questioned Mal.

"Well, Jay and Carlos haven't showed up yet and we've been standing here for a long time. Might as well start talking to each other," said Evie.

"Why would you wanna talk to me? We despise each other," reminded Mal.

"Yes, I despise you, but I kept thinking about what Carlos said yesterday. One of these days, you and I have to learn to get along," said Evie.

"You want us to be friends?" questioned Mal.

"I don't wish for that to happen, but I don't want us to fight for the rest of our lives," answered Evie.

"Okay, blue, what do you suggest? You treat me to a make-over? Your want to me try a whole new look?" guessed Mal sarcastically.

"I have something better in mind," said Evie as they looked back at Captain Hook's cabin.

Later, Mal and Evie exit the cabin with stolen food and treasure with Captain Hook and a couple of his goons chasing after them. Mal and Evie made a turn and quickly hid behind an alley, and they watched Hook and his fellow pirates become confused at the girls' split-second vanishing. As the pirates continued searching, both girls came out and started laughing.

"Why does everyone fall for that?" wondered Evie.

"This Isle has certainly turned the nastiest villains into the stupidest," said Mal.

"You're not including my mom, are you?" questioned Evie.

"Moving on!" said Mal. "I have to admit. You're good. Well, good at being bad."

"Thank you," responded Evie.

"Villains never say that," said Mal.

"Well, I'm saying it now," said Evie back.

"You're such a softie for a villain," said Mal.

"Well, I'm still young. But wait until I get older," said Evie. She then saw a familiar face across the street and immediately runs towards him.

"Hey! Carlos!" greeted Evie.

"Oh, hey, Evie," greeted Carlos back.

"Where were you? I thought you were gonna meet me at Captain Hook's place?" questioned Evie.

"I'm sorry. My mom... had me run another errand," answered Carlos. He then saw Mal. "Wait, did you and Mal just rob a house... together?"

"Yup," answered both girls.

"Why? If I recalled correctly, you two were at each other's throats twenty-four hours ago," wondered a confused Carlos.

"Well, Jay invited me to Hook's, but he didn't show up. Evie did," started Mal.

"We thought about what you said so... you know," finished Evie.

"So, you two are friends now?" asked Carlos.

"I prefer acquaintances. Villains don't have friends," said Mal. "But to answer your question, no." She looks at Evie and says, "If you want us to be pally-wallies, you're gonna have to prove to me you're rotten to the core."

"And how do I do that?" asked Evie.

After a few seconds of thinking, Mal answers, "You two meet me at Goblin Wharf tomorrow. 9 o'clock sharp."


"It's good to be back," said Maleficent.

She looks at the staff on her statue and realized that it's the real one. With a flick of her fingers, she removes the spell protecting it and takes hold of it. She unleashes a magical wave that awakens Evil Queen and Cruella from unconsciousness, but also frees Jay from Jafar's hypnotic control in the process.

"What happened?" asked Jay.

"Your dad hypnotized you into subduing me," answered Mal.

"Sorry," said Jay as he released Mal.

"Well, hello, Mal. Still being good? You do know that's not going to make me proud," started Maleficent.

"Say one more word, mom," threatened Mal.

Maleficent walks up to her daughter and looks at her in the eye. She tries to intimidate Mal with her dragon eyes. Mal tries to do the same to her mother with her own dragon eyes. In the end, Maleficent lost and she ended up on the ground, weakened.

"Good triumphs over evil. Keep that in mind," mocked Mal.

"Well, let's see if you're good enough to survive this." Maleficent unleashes a magical wave that put Mal and her friends to sleep.


Meanwhile, Ben, Audrey, Chad, Lonnie, Jane, and Doug were outside the museum waiting for the Descendants to accomplish their mission. They saw a magical wave and once it passed them, they fell asleep. The wave spread throughout the entire kingdom, putting everyone to sleep.

"Nighty night, Auradon," said Maleficent.

That's the end of the third chapter.
