Welcome to the next one-shot! This was requested by another guest user, about the VKs running into another gang on the Isle. I'm a big fan of the idea, and it just so happens I have other villain OCs ready! Hopefully this will go well. Maybe the other gang could be making appearances in other one-shots, as well.

Rivalry

When most think of the Isle of the Lost, they think of the VKs, since they represented all Isle children when they travelled to Auradon. May don't realize that the VKs were not the only gang on the Isle. Far from it, actually. They were one of the smaller gangs around. In their part of the Isle, they were the most well-known because of Mal's lineage.

Other villain children allied together for survival, to take care of each other the way their parents didn't. On the coast of the Isle was the band led by Uma, but that wasn't all, either. In the center of the Isle there was a gang who called themselves the Street Rats. The Rats were a tight-knit group with their own stories. This is the retelling of the time they first met, and the beginnings of a rivalry.

Mal, Carlos, Evie, and Jay were walking down streets. They were looking for more trinkets to bring for Jafar's Market, and there wasn't much today in their part of the Isle. So Evie had suggested they moved towards the central Isle, hoping to find some new things.

"Hey, what about this?" Carlos picked up a gold pen someone had lost. It had engravings all over it, and looked expensive. Pens were also a rarity on the Isle; most of the children weren't literate, and anyone who could write used ink and a quill. This would sell quickly.

"Perfect." Jay put it in his satchel with some of the other stuff they'd found so far. They'd collected a watch, a locket, a rose someone had preserved by pressing it between pages in a book, and a ship in a bottle. At this rate, it was looking like Jay wouldn't be beaten at all tonight.

"Jay!" Evie cried suddenly. "A lamp!"

An oil lamp sat in someone's open windowsill, and Evie didn't hesitate to grab it. She turned the thing in her hands, and gave it a quick rub. To no one's surprise, nothing happened. "Oh, well." Jay dismissed. "It's still useful. Good catch."

Mal stooped down to pick up a glove that lay in the middle of the road. It was a crisp, white color. The clean white was a color rarely seen on the Isle. It also had a gold trim, and looked fancy. It would be worth a lot. There was only one problem. "There's only one." she said, with a frown.

Suddenly, someone was in front of them. She had fiery red hair and pale skin. She held herself regally, as if she were royalty. However, everyone thought they were worthy of royalty on the Isle. This girl wasn't special. "That's mine." she demanded. Actually, there were now two problems with this glove.

"Who are you?" Mal demanded, holding the glove tightly.

The girl, who was indeed only wearing one matching glove, stuck her hand out. "Give it to me."

"Not until you tell us who you are." Jay stepped forward. He kept a protective hand over his satchel while moving closer to his friends. It was a good chance they viewed the newcomers as easy pockets for picking.

The girl put a hand on her hip. "I'm Haylee, daughter of Hans. Who are you and why are you here?"

Hans, Mal thought. She knew they were no longer in VK territory, but she didn't think they'd wandered that far. "Mal, daughter of Maleficent." She was still holding the glove. "This is Evie, Jay, and Carlos."

Haylee's friends appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, staring them down. "This is Gigi, Landon, Luke, and Hart. We're the Street Rats. The VKs, I presume?"

"Yeah," Mal said. In the group, they were all equally important. But to outsiders looking in, Mal was the leader.

"Ha," she gave a laugh. "You're nothing here. Scurry back to your parts, huh? Oh, and, give me back my glove." she held out an expectant hand.

Carlos spoke up, "No. We have every right to be here."

The Rats began to circle the VKs, and Hart bumped into Evie, stealing the lip gloss out of her pocket. "Hey!" she yelled, twisting his arm and taking it back before he could get away. He seemed surprised, stepping back. "Don't mess with me," she hissed.

The redheaded twins were eyeing Jay's satchel hungrily. "What'cha got in there, huh?" one of them asked. The other chuckled lightly, watching Jay with interest.

"None of your business." Carlos answered lowly. They would not steal what they'd collected today; he wouldn't let them.

They looked ready to pounce, and the Hart boy was taunting Evie. She stood her ground defiantly, however, not to be intimidated by him. "Pretty princess," he cooed. "What are you doing all the way back here? Shouldn't you be back home in your castle?" She kicked him in the shins, and he yelped. Maybe this wasn't the best strategy, for the others seemed ready to fight now. The VKs prepared their defense.

Everything halted at Mal's shout of, "ENOUGH!"

"Leave, and it will be." Gigi purred. "But we could do this all day." She twirled a flower between her fingers lazily.

Mal looked around. They were outnumbered, and challenging another gang seemed like a bad idea, especially on Street Rat territory. "Let's go." she said, and they walked backwards to keep from turning their backs.

"But," Haylee interrupted. "I want my glove."

Mal hesitated, but stepped forward to oblige. The white glove was placed back in the girl's hand, and the VKs left. This wouldn't be the last they'd see of the Street Rats.

Sorry it was short. I just wanted this to be a first encounter. If anyone has any other requests involving the Street Rats, let me know! I write every suggestion I get, and will continue to for as long as I can. :) I hope you guys are liking this.

Leave a review, please! Constructive criticism is welcome, of course.
