Chapter two:
Goodbyes and the VKs arrival at Auradon Prep
Isle of the Lost, Villainberg, Forbidden Castle, Villain's Hold, balcony overlooking the Forsaken Courtyard, August 30, 2014, 08:00
The next morning saw Mal, Maliva and their friends/family members with makeshift backpacks slung over their collective right shoulders, Mal and Maliva's were purple, Evie and Eva's were blue, Jay and Jack's were yellow with black stripes on them and Carlos and Carley's were white on black.
Mal and Maliva had packed their backpacks with all of their past birthday gifts and whatever clothing that they could have fitted into them. Looking around herself at the others, Mal couldn't have been prouder of them. Sure, Evie and Eva's dresses had grime and in such a state of disrepair from being overused, but still the two wore them with pride. Maleficent beckoned to Mal over to the balcony. Mal know this was another mob trial when she saw the entire population of the self-styled Kingdom of the Isles of the Lost.
"BRING OUT THE PRISONERS!" Maleficent roared at the knuckleheads who then brought three badly beaten prisoners out. All of whom looked very familiar to Mal and her friends/family members…
"James Hook, Harry and James Jr," Mal called down at them quickly adopting her customary supremely bored and "I don't care for anyone except myself" expression seeing as she was the Supreme Judge of the Isles, "you three have been found guilty of treason against the Kingdom of the Isles of the Lost. The sentence of death is to be decided by your follow Villains."
At this, someone yelled "feed 'em to the sharks!" which got the crowd to go nuts. Someone else's yelled, "feed 'em to the Crocodile!" which made crowd go even more nuts then before if that was at all possible.
"James Hook, Harry Hook, James Hook Jr," Mal said down at them, which get the crowd to quiet down, "you are sentence to die by being feed to the Crocodile."
Usually, she would have stuck around to see her judgment being carried out, but today she couldn't stomach the idea of going there as there no way in Hades that she was going to that gruesome pit if she could help it. Quickly, she turned and walked over to were her friends/family members where.
Mal then heard a very welcome voice from behind her friends/family member, her and Maliva's other and more normal mother, High Queen Belle herself. "Would someone like to explain what that was all about?" Belle asked in a tone of voice that told the eight villain kids in front of her that they better answer truthfully or else they would be grounded for a month.
"That was," Mal said on the other seven villain kids behalf, "how we on the Isles do justice. Honestly Mom." She added when Belle raised her eyebrows in skepticism, incredulity and suspicion.
"That might have been the case Mal," Belle said to her, "but I can assure that you eight will never set foot on these Isles again. Don't worry about what other kids in Auradon think about you eight."

"Ah! Smells like common folk." Evil Queen said as she looked Belle with disgust written on her face.
"Come back here, now! Carlos! Carley! Ingrate." Cruella said in disgust as her twin kids slipped away from her and into the limo after Belle.
Evie and Eva walked as calmly as princesses should towards the limo, Jay and Jack following close behind them after stealing a hood ornament from the front of the limo each of course.
Mal and Maliva walked slowly as they dared to towards the limo and getting in it as gracefully as princesses without a glance back. If they had glanced back, they would have seen Malevolence slip himself into the trunk of the limo alone with the Eight Villain Kid's luggage, not even the driver of the limo noticed anything out of the ordinary as he closed the trunk's door without a second thought.
"Bye-bye." Jafar and Evil Queen said almost ten seconds apart from each other.
"The jackals have landed." The driver of the limo said into his handheld walkie-talkie before buckling up his seatbelt.
"Bring home the gold!" Jafar yelled at the Eight Villain Kids, especially Jay and Jack who turned a deathly pale.
"Bring home a puppy." Cruella yelled at Carlos and Carley still a bit enraged they had escaped from her.
"Bring home a prince." The Evil Queen yelled at Evie and Eva, both of whom looked humiliated at the thought that their mother had just yelled that.
Unbeknownst to the nine passengers and the driver, a motorcade of a hundred strange solders armored in golden-yellow armor on motorbikes began to invisibly escort the limo. This is the First Company of the Tenth Golden-Yellow Legion of the Elite Golden-Yellow Guard of the Immortal Special Forces Corps, tasked with protecting Heroes and Heroines of the one billion Mortal Plains of Existence's realities at all cost.
Orbit of Luna, ZD-1258978 I.C.S.S. Benevolence, deck 33, Immortal High Command (I-HIGHCOM) Council/Council of Fates and Destinies Chamber, August 30, 2014, 08:20
A tall man, about three meters when he was standing, sat calmly in the lone high backed armchair that dominates the floor of the sixteen gymnasiums sized room that makes-up of the Immortal High Command Council/Council of Fates and Destinies Chamber (a mobile pentagon that could fit all one billion Immortal Military Officers of the Immortal Military Officer Corps as well as coordinate sixteen million operations simultaneously and breaking Immortal Enemies communications faster than one could blink a day), dressed in a navy-blue uniform that had a ten-star insignia at each of the shoulder pads, and a combat helmet on his head, calmly drinking Immortal Colonial Tea while the newest Officers panicked every time a shudder ran though the massive Zlatha-class Dreadnought as the ship's sixty million megawatt DCX drive core struggled to maintain the Immortal Class Clocking Device while also powering the ship's six DXC engines and power the ship itself. At his belt, Twin Plasma Pistols hung just out of sight. On his upper back, an M-62A-48 Assault Rifle, which could hit something within two hundred meters away from him, hung at his right shoulder, and an N-16A-14 Sniper Rifle, which could hit something up to ten kilometers away from him, hung at his left shoulder. On his lower back, an A-56P-64 Heavy Gun, which could hit a tank or anything with armor on it up to a hundred meters away from him, hung just above his tailbone.
This is Supreme Military Governor Stephmount of the Superterritory/the Home Quadrant, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Eighteenth Elite Army (comprising fifty-five billion Soldiers divided into Fifty-five Grand Armies, it is the second largest grouping of soldiers in the entire Immortal Confederation's Army), Lord Admiral of the Home Quadrant Defense Armada (comprising twenty million Starships divided into twenty Armadas, it is the largest grouping of warships in the entire Immortal Confederation's Space Navy), Lord Air Marshal of the Nineteenth Air Corps (comprising twenty-four billion Aerospace Fighters, twenty-four billion Interceptors, and twenty-four billion Bombers divided into twenty-four Fighter Grand Group, twenty-four Interceptor Grand Groups and twenty-four Bomber Grand Groups, it is the largest grouping of Aerospace Fighter, Interceptors and Bombers in the entire Immortal Confederation's Aerospace Force), Head of the Special Forces Corps (SpecForce), Heir Appoint of the Heir Appoint of the Immortal Confederation's Throne, Father of the Immortal Confederation's Constitution Act, Father of the Modern Immortal Confederation's Military Act, Father of the Immortal Confederation's Rights and Freedoms Act, Member of the Immortal High Command Council, Honorary Member of the Council of Fates and Destinies, Defender of Mount Congotowarrior, and the Hero of the Fifty Years Demons War.
"Helm," the Supreme Military Governor said into his built-in holographic communication device, "turn of the cloaking device. We're wasting fuel as it is just sitting. Also, we're scaring our newest officers whom have never left the Immortal Confederation's Plain of Existence in their lives."
"Sir, yes, Sir," the Captain of the Benevolence, the Mothership of the 9450.07 KM long Zlatha-class Dreadnought, said, "disengaging Cloak in ten…nine…eight…seven…six…five…four…three…two…one and decloak." If one where to look out a space station or even a spaceship's viewport, they would have seen a massive ship that was armed to the teeth with enough weapons to melt an entire continent in half like butter in a microwave for over five minutes appear out of thin air. Within seconds of decloaking, a ten-ship strong fleet of tankers and other support crafts began hooking up to the ship to refuel it and bring its crew food and supplies. Sometime later, a massive fleet of ship began to decloak around the Benevolence ranging from the twenty-five massive 9450 KM long Yorksara-class Dreadnought to the five hundred thousand tiny, tiny 100 M long Alpha-class Assault Craft/Patrol Ship. These are the personal flagships of the various military officers of the four branches of the Immortal Confederation's Military. One of the first ones into I-HIGHCOM Council Chamber was Lord Admiral Gurrowson, one of Stephmount's very few frenemies within the I-HIGHCOM Council.
"Lord Admiral Gurrowson," Stephmount said politely and courteously, "you've actually came. Usually, you attend meetings like this via Holographic form."
"Lord Admiral Stephmount," Gurrowson said, "I'm aware of that fact, thank you very. I'm here because the Immortal Parliament is aware of you latest project codenamed Operation Descendant Storm…and approve of it."
"Please everyone, have a seat," Stephmount said when the last Immortal Officer, a mere Captain, had entered the chamber, and then continued "I've called this meeting to discuss the possibility of Hades trying to use the niece of Queen Arial to reform his Army of the Dead back to what it was before his defeat at the hands of Hercules over twenty years ago towards the end of the Villains War. Lord Commander Rainson of the Tenth Golden-Yellow Legion has been assigned the ground defense of Auradon Prep where the Eight Descendants of the Most Feared Villains in the World are heading right now. I myself will provide a full Air Wing of the Infamous Emerald-Green Fighter Group under the command of Lord Air Marshal Thomason. I will also offer a naval support from onboard the Benevolence in we need bombard the planet to contain the growth of the virus that feeds the Army of the Dead with fresh soldiers after an hour being infected with it or if situation becomes unfavorable as in either all Eight are captured or the Eight are knocking on Death's door or the Army of the Dead becomes too numerous to be contained by the Tenth Golden-Yellow Legion. Any questions or additions to the operation? Lord Admiral Gurrowson?"
"Thank you, Lord Admiral Stephmount," Gurrowson said, "the Immortal Parliament has granted you and the Military Forces under you permission to uncloak to fight an open war against the Rebel Lord Hades starting tomorrow at noontime and you've been granted permission to train the soldiers in open view of Mortals, and if need be, evacuate the uninfected Auradonian Civilians before bombarding the living daylights out of epicenter of the outbreak, the United Magical Kingdoms of Auradon which as you know sits on top of an Immortal Iron Ore bedrock between the Land of Living and the Army of the Dead, and you also have permission to bring the Eight Heroes and Heroines of this Mortal Reality before the entire Immortal Parliament for a reconstituting session."
"Why thank Lord Admiral Gurrowson," Stephmount said in tone of surprise as it was a rarity that Immortal Parliament would grant him such a privilege and permission, "anything else? No? Then that concludes this meeting."

"Mal? Mal?" Belle asked the staring out into space Royal Purple haired teen in a panic thinking that the girl was having a panic attack, "Mal?"
"Belle," Evie nervously said to the brunette High Queen, "it's best not to ask when she get like this."
"Evie," Mal said to one of her blunette pseudo sisters, "it's ok. I was just thinking of what could happen this year until I get coronated as a High Princess straight after Ben's coronated as the High King, tis all mom. Anyway, what were you trying to ask me? I'm perfectly fine, mom." Mal had quickly added at the skeptical, suspicious and dubious face on Belle's gorgeous, lovely and very attractive face, which quickly fell at hearing the team mom from Mal's lips.
"Ben wants to though a Welcome to Auradon Prep tonight for you kids at the School's Gym," Belle explained to the teen which caused her to slightly panic, "that is if you kids want to go. I'm not going to force you kids to go. I know that you both hate parties, Mal and Maliva, but you will be coronated as High Princesses straight after Ben's coronation as High King, so it might be a good idea for both of you to go."
"Mom," Mal said timidly, "we've only hated parties because of Maleficent hates anything of joy… like a party. Last year at our birthday party, which I'm sure you remember as you and dad where there, she through a temper tantrum over the whole thing and punished us both for not throwing out your birthday gifts to us after you had left."
"Oh, Mal dear," Belle said wrapping the frightened teen in a motherly hug that the teen slowly returned, "I promise the two of you that she won't touch either of you ever again."
"Thanks, Mom," Mal stuttered out trembling lips, "and I promise that I'll look after Liv at the party tonight."
"Mal," Maliva whined at Mal's use of her much-hated nickname for her, "how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that? You know that I hate when you call me that."
"You let Mom call you that, L," Mal smirked at her twin only to get a handful of candy to the face, "Oh your so on."
It was at that moment of time that backseat of the limo became food fighting ground as everyone, and I mean literally everyone, started throwing candy at each other. It lasted five or so minutes before Belle put a stop to it so that they could watch the limo pass through the barrier, which didn't faze either Belle, Mal, Maliva, Evie or Eva as Mal had Maliva, Evie and Eva to expect it and Belle was used to it having traveled through it for years for Mal and Maliva's birthdays, but it did faze Jay, Jack, Carlos and Carley, though, as those four huddled in a protective embrace.
United Magical Kingdoms of Auradon, Auradon City, Auradon Prep, the Entry Courtyard, August 30, 2014, 10:00
An hour and half later, the limo pulled up at Auradon Prep and Belle, Mal, Maliva, Evie and Eva where the first to step out, gracefully I might add, to cheers, applauses, standing ovations and a band playing a very lively tune while Jay, Jack, Carlos and Carley just tumbled out and started fighting over somethings Carlos and Carley had found in the limo.
"Welcome to Auradon prep." a soft-spoken, motherly, absent-minded, gentle, optimistic woman in blue-gray outfit with a red bow at her neckline, "I'm Fairy Godmother, Headmistress."
Ben's turquoise eyes immediately locked onto Mal's green and Maliva's turquoise eyes momentary…but it was enough time for him to feel as though they were each looking into his very vulnerable heart.
"It's so good to finally meet you all," he said looking a kid in the candy store, "I'm Ben."
"Prince Benjamin." a jerky, arrogant, selfish, mean dirty blond and blue-eyed teenaged boy of about their age said insensitively, unsympathetically, heartlessly, uncaringly, hardheartedly, uncaringly, inhumanly, coldly, cruelly and pitilessly, "Soon to be king."
"You had me at prince. Evie and Eva said while curtsying towards Ben, "My mom's a queen, which makes me a princess."
"The evil queen has no royal status here," the boy said spitefully, unkindly, cruelly, malevolently, hurtfully, venomously, offensively and unpleasantly, "and neither do you."
"This is Chad…" Ben started to before being rudely interrupted by Chad.
"Prince Charming Jr." Chad said, "his BFF. Right, Benny-boy."
Ben and Belle looked a bit uncomfortable with Chad rude remarks and careless attitude, and by the looks of it everyone else was to. Case of point, Fairy Godmother stepped between them and said something that made Chad blanch.
"Ben and Ashley here," she said motioning to a girl that was slender, with fair skin, red lips, long red hair done up in a bun, aqua blue eyes and wearing a track outfit with an A access her chest with a running figure underneath the A and the word CAPTAIN written in gold and blue letters underneath the figure, over to their group, "are going to show you all around, and I'll see you all Monday morning. The doors of wisdom are never shut during the School Year. But the library hours are from 8:00 to 11:00. And as you may have heard, I have a little thing about curfews." Before sheparding the rest of the welcoming committee into the School leaving the ten students alone much to their relief.
"It is so, so, so good to finally me..." Ben started to said before punched in the chest by Jay and Jack when he went to shake their hands, but they shook Ashley's hands as they had been beaten to a pulp by Mal for hitting a girl in the chest region back on the Isles, "meet you all." he then paused at Mal and Maliva and shook their hands together and all three of them felt a jolt of electricity and maybe magic run between their connected hands, they stayed there dumbfounded for a good five minutes before Ben realized that Ashley was getting impatient with him, "This is a momentous occasion, and one that I hope will go down in history... Is that chocolate?" he asked of Carlos and Carley who just licked their fingers clear with a 'what the freak is chocolate' look on their collective faces, "As the day our two peoples began to heal."
"Or the day that you showed four peoples where the bathrooms are." Mal joked at him causing both Ben and Ashley to come back to her and Maliva, who was trying and failing to keep her laughter in at her elder twin sister's joke.
"A little bit over the top?" Ben asked them both, struggling to keep his own laugh in with much better results than Maliva who had tears in her eyes from laughing so hard.
"A little more than a little bit." Mal said.
"Well, so much for my first impression." Ben said.
"My aunt is Ariel." Ashley butted in, having had enough their lovey moments, "The Little Mermaid."
"You should tell your aunt that Ursula says hello," said Jay.
Ashley looked terrified at the mention of the old sea-witch's name. So, Ben decided to start the tour of the School.
