I do not own The Descendants or the characters. All I own is the plot, the story and any OC that may show up at any point in the story. Mal and the rest of the descendants belong to Melissa De La Cruz, while Maleficent, Cruella, Jafar, Evil Queen, and all other Disney villians and Heroes belong strictly to the World of Walt Disney. Hope you Enjoy and Please review if you want to see more.
Previously on Descendants – "No." She murmured fearfully. "This can't be happening."
There on her chest resting in the place just above her heart, was a glowing dark green shaped pentagram. Mal's body shuddered in fear and with her hands trembling in terror she gently touched the pulsating mark, which only caused a small spark of pain as she did so.
She cried out softly and pulled her hand away just as she noticed an aray of tiny thorns began to sprout out from the haunting symbol and began to grow in size around her. "No!" She cried out as green eyes began to glow with power. NO!"
"I'd be careful if I were you little sis," He said softly to himself while grinding his teeth in pain. "Cause big brother's coming to set you streight."
"Name's Malice, son of Maleficent." He couldn't help but chuckle evily as he saw Doug's eyes widen in fear from behind his glasses. "M-M-Maleficent's s-s-son? How is that p-possible?"
"What is it that you request?" Doug asked in a deep trance like evil voice. "What I request first from you my minion," He said as he clapped a hand on Doug's back. "Is to locate my sister Mal."
NOW...
Chapter 4 - What's Wrong, What's Right?
Jay, Carlos and Evie all looked at each other exchanging worried glances as they all had only one thought on their minds. What was going on with Mal? "I don't get it." Carlos said sadly while stroking Dude's soft tan fur as he let out a sigh. "What could be causing this to happen?" Dude let out a whimper of sadness as he just laid there on Carlos's leg obviously feeling depressed. "Don't worry Dude, your not the only one feeling helpless right now." Carlos said softly into his ear. "It's gotta be something that we're missing." Jay said finally as he stopped pacing around the room and looked at them. "Maybe there's something in her spellbook that can help us?" "Like what?" Evie asked curiously looking up from her sewing machine as she stopped it.
Jay shrugged as his silvery eyes flashed. "I don't know." He admitted miserably. "It was just an idea." All three teens sighed heavily as they were all feeling the same things, sadness, confusion, and most of all regret. Could they maybe have stopped this from happening if they knew what it was ahead of time? More then likely not as Evie now thought. Suddenly a loud booming noise shook the entire school like an earthquake causing them all to fall over. "What the heck was that?" Jay asked with wide eyes. Carlos stood shakily on his feet while gently scooping up Dude in his arms. "Maybe it was from Mal?" He asked in a shaky voice. "Or something else?" Jay questioned. "Come on," Evie cried out. "We have to check it out. If it was Mal then she's probably in trouble!"
Without hesitation, the three friends took off out of the room and down the staircase to find everyone running in states of obvious panic. "What on earth is going on?" Carlos murmured softly beside Jay who just shruggled his shoulders in response. "Something's wrong." Evie whispered in a terrified voice. "There's a dark presence here, and it's not Mal's." The other two boys looked at her with their eyes wide. "Maleficent's?" Jay asked as Evie shook her head. "No, It's someone else. Somebody much more darker." Carlos began to shiver and shake in fear as Dude let out a whimper of terror as his ears began to hang low. "Great, I didn't think there could be anyone worse then Maleficent." Carlos replied his voice trembling in terror as Jay nodded in agreement.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The three of them turned now to see a tall boy about Mal's height, wearing all black clothes, with streight black hair with dark purple highlights falling into his glowing green eyes which sent shivers down all their spines reminding them of Maleficent. "Let me see if I got this right now." He said speaking in a venemously evil tone which gave them all shocks of absolute terror. "We have Evil Queen's daughter Evie," He said as he nodded over toward Evie with his eyes glowing supernaturally. "Jafar's son Jay," He said looking over at Jay before then turning to Carlos. "And you must be Cruella's son Carlos right? Aren't you supposed to despise dogs like your mother?" He asked noticing Dude's trembling form in Carlos's arms.
Carlos swallowed hard as the strange but terrifying boy came up closer toward them and Jay automatically stepped up in front of the others. His silver eyes staring at the other boy hard and defending. "You think you can scare me Jay?" The other boy let out an evil laugh as his hands began to glow with feint green sparks of light. "Oh I get it, my sister didn't tell you about me. How shameful of her. Well then allow me to introduce myself, I am Malice, son of Maleficent and twin brother to Mal."
"T-t-twin b-brother?!" Carlos stammered fearfully as his brown eyes widened in shock. "How is that possible?" Evie wondered. "Why would Mal hide this from us?" Malice's eyes glowed a bright shade of green as he wrapped his arm around Evie's trembling shoulder. "Well I guess you could say that it's because unlike my sister, I'm a lot like our mother. Truly evil and rotten to the core from now until the end of time." Evie moved away from Malice's grip just as they heard a female voice cry out, "Malice?! What are you doing here?!" The three of them along with Malice turned to see Mal with her eyes glowing the same shade of green as her brother. "Well, Well, I was wondering when you would show up Malora." He replied with a grin as Mal's eyes flashed in anger. "What are you doing here?" She asked her voice laced with anger. Malice rolled his eyes in sarcasm and anger as he replied, "Nice to see you too little sister, I was just looking for you."
"Mal? What's going on?" Carlos asked his voice slightly trembling in fear as he tried not to make eye contact with Malice. "Your real name's Malora?" Jay asked blinking his eyes in confusion as Malice shook his head and ignored him."I'm here to finish what you four couldn't do." Malice said raising his arms up to the sky as jolts of bright green electricity shot down. "By fullfilling my mother's wishes of taking over the entire world!" More lightning shot down from the sky causing Dude to jump in Carlos's arms. "Stop this Malice." Mal said narrowing her green eyes in anger. "You can't do this!" All at once Malice teleported in a flash of bright green light and suddenly appeared in front of his sister. "Watch me." He replied narrowing his eyes to match his twin.
"Hey! Get away from her!" Jay shouted out narrowing his silver eyes in anger as he charged toward Malice. The twins turned to see Jay running at Malice with a look of anger shimmering in his eyes. Mal held her breath and silently prayed, hoping that no harm would come to her friends. Malice on the other hand obviously had evil intentions. Raising his arms up to the air with sparks of green lightning shooting from his fingertips, and an evil smile crept on his face. Mal looked toward her brother and saw the look in his eyes and the evil smile on his face that reminded her so much of their mother it was almost sickening. Sparks of lightning flew from her brother's hands much to Mal's unimaginable horror. "No!" She screamed.
The image of her friends meeting their demise at the hands of her own brother sent a wave of fear coursing through her body as she began to feel a wave of power well up within her. She could feel her body beginning to glow with emerald green light all the way from head to toe. Closing her eyes she allowed herself to give into the mystical power that surged from within, and raised her hands palms upward toward the clouds. "Beware fore-swear, Strike down from the heavens! Strike down with all your might! For this kingdom I will protect!" As she channeled the spell, a beam of intense bright green light shot uptoward the cealing as Mal was then able to direct that massive beam that had formed into her hands and managed to focus the attack directly toward her brother.
Malice's green eyes which matched those of his mother and sister flashed with evil intensity as though he had predicted his sister to try and stop him. "Foolish as always little sister." He taunted as sparks of green magic then swirled from his fingertips. "It's no wonder why I was always mom's favorite and you were always second best since that's all you'll ever be. Isn't that right Malora?" Mal growled in anger at the mention of her true name and tried to force the attack into a stronger wave of power, but much to her horror, in a flash of bright green light had vanished.
Where did he go? A shiver of fear ran through Mal's body as she looked around for a sign of her brother, but with the attack she had formed now realeased from her hands, she knew it was only a matter of time before someone would become seriously injured. "E! get everyone you can to safety!" She called out toward Evie. "What about you?" Evie called back as her brown eyes shone with concern and worry for the safety of her BFF. "Leave my brother to me!" Mal called back. "This isn't up for debate now, just go! Carlos, you and Jay go with her!" Carlos nodded despite the fact that Mal could tell he was quaking in absolute terror, the truth was, she didn't blame him for being scared she was too. She was scared of becoming the perfect little doll her mother had raised her to be. that she would never be able to truly get rid of the evil blood that was swirling in her veins.
A million thoughts in my head
Should I let my heart keep listening
'Cause up 'til now I've walked the line
Nothing lost but something missing
I can't decide
What's wrong, what's right
Which way should I go?
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream?
Ah oh, yeah
If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be
Ah oh, if only
If only
As Mal watched her friends run together through the school with Dude at their heels, she couldn't help but feel a dark presence swirling around her the same one that reminded her so much of her mother. "You're too late Malice!" She called out as her green eyes sparkled with electric energy. "The others are gone, so now it's just down to me and you!" There was no response but the alarming presence was starting to get to her as she drew in a deep breath. Show no fear Mal. She kept telling herself. Fear won't get you anywere except nothing but misery and torment. A crackle of nearby lightning caused her to snap out of her thoughts as she snapped her head toward he direction of the noise to her left, but she wasn't fast enough as a powerful wave of green electric energy blasted her backward slaming her into a nearby wall of the school. Groaning in pain, Mal managed to make it back to her feet just as she heard the voice of someone that sent her heart in her chest thumping frantically with worry. "MAL!"
With her gaze casting toward the source of the person who hollered her name, Mal's eyes fell upon Ben who's blue eyes mirrored the same look Evie had given her only moments before. He must've heard the commotion of what was going on. She thought horrified. I can't let him interfere in this fight. This is between me and my brother. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to him. "Mal, are you okay?" Ben's eyes were filled witha mixture of great concern and anger. "I'm fine!" She called back. "Just help Evie and the others! Get the rest of the school out of here as fast as you can!" Ben shook his head and began making his way toward her but Mal held up her hand to stop him. "Please Ben, just go. This is something I need to take care on my own. I'll be fine I promise. Now please, just go!"
At that moment, a strike of intense green light surged all around her and nearly knocked her off her feet, but Mal was able to block the attack right back. "What's the matter little sister? Can't fight what you can't see?" Malice's voice taunted Mal and his voice seemed to echo all around her as though she had somehow found herself trapped in a haunted house full of mirrors. "Come on and fight me Malice!" Mal shouted as a wave of green magic began to bubble up within her due to pure anger. "Let's settle this once and for all!" An evil laugh seemed to soar all around her like a gentle breeze causing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand on end.
"Now where seems to be the fun in that dear little sister?" Malice's voice came so close now that Mal could feel his breath tickling her ear with every word that he was saying. "What do you say we make this fight much more fun huh little sister? Let's see how long it will take before you're precious boyfriend subcombs to the ultimate curse of death." Mal's eyes shone with absolute fear and it seemed as if her body now became rigid with cold as though she was somehow incased in a thick block of ice. "Please Malice," She begged softly. "Please don't hurt him. He has nothing to do with this, this is between me and you. Please just leave Ben alone." "If you want to save him Malora, then let's see if you can find a way to counteract the curse." Mal could tell by the tone in her twin's words that he was serious and that caused more fear to race through her.
"You know that there is no way to counteract a spell that powerful." She whispered softly as she heard her brother let out an evil cackle of triumpth. "Then it looks like I win after all." A surge of intense green light shot out of nowhere and now began racing toward Ben at lightning speeds, moving so fast Mal bearly had time to make it out. "Ben, watch out!" She shouted as her green eyes shone with tears of anguish. She reached out her hand to warn him, but it seemed as if Ben hadn't heard her. As Mal could now only watch as the blast of light hit her boyfriend square in the chest, she let out a fierce cry and nearly fell to her knees screaming,"NOOO!"
