Phineas couldn't believe his ears. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Your telling me that your mother is Maleficent. The Maleficent?"
"As in the evil fairy who put Princess Aurora to sleep?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah," Mal replied. "That's the one."
Buford frowned. "Wait, you're expecting me to believe that one of the most evil villains of all time had a kid."
"Yeah."
Buford shrugged. "Alright, I'll buy it."
"Um...," Baljeet started nervously, "...so does that mean you're like...um...evil?"
Mal laughed. "Not anymore."
"Before I became king," Ben explained, "my first official proclamation was to give the children of the worst villains of all time a chance at a normal life."
"Where are all the villains now then?" Phineas asked.
"After my father married my mother, Belle, 20 years ago, they rounded up all the villains..."
"Basically all the really interesting people," Mal interjected.
"...and they were sent to the Isle of the Lost, kind of an island prison where there was a magical barrier to keep them from escaping."
"That's where Evie, Carlos, Jay and I used to live until we were brought here."
"So you're all villain kids?" Isabella inquired.
"Yes," Evie told her. "I'm daughter of Evil Queen."
"I'm the son of Jafar," Jay said.
"And I'm Cruella De Vil's son," Carlos explained.
"My mind is blown," Buford said.
"So then how did your mother escape from the Isle of the Lost?" Phineas asked Mal.
"She originally escaped when the barrier was accidentally broken, but she was recaptured again and placed in Auradon Prison."
"That's where she was," Carlos added, "until this morning when that evil scientist guy let her out."
"So we'd better catch up to them fast!" Phineas said. "Where was she last sighted again?"
"Museum of Cultural History," Jay said. "We're almost there."
Ben and the "VK's" led Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Baljeet, Buford and Perry to the Museum of Cultural History. They walked through the entrance and up a flight of stairs until they reached the sight of the attempted robbery. Ben quickly introduced their new friends to Fairy Godmother and her daughter, Jane.
"Aren't platypus venomous?" Jane asked nervously.
"Yeah, platypus have poisonous spurs on their back feet, but Perry doesn't use them."
Perry chattered in agreement.
"Well, I'm glad you're here," Fairy Godmother said. "But aren't you bunch a little young to track down the most evil mistress of all time?"
"Yes, yes we are," Phineas said.
Fairy Godmother showed them the place where the Magic Mirror was stood. "I was up here, showing a new attendant around when this purple cloud broke through that window and Maleficent, the pharmacist and the robot man appeared. Then as the robot man tried to take the mirror, it broke free from the stand and the glass shattered into six pieces."
"You're the same Fairy Godmother that turned a pumpkin into a carriage, right?" Phineas asked. "Can't you just use your magic wand to make it reappear?"
"My magic has it's limitations. I could make a new mirror, but that won't help us get the old one back. And believe me, magic mirrors in the wrong hands are a very dangerous thing."
"What could she be doing with it?" Jane asked. "You don't think she's going to use it to find out what we're all up to, do you? I'd about die if I found out Maleficent was spying on me."
"Relax, Jane," Mal said. "I'm sure she's got something more evil planned than just spying on people."
"That's what I'm confused about," Fairy Godmother admitted. "Why would she try to steal the mirror in the first place? The mirror's magic can only be used to give information. It's hardly the most magical thing we have in this museum."
"Where are the other pieces now, then?" Baljeet asked.
"I'm not sure. After the mirror broke the six pieces floated into the air, the pharmacist grabbed one of them and the other five disappeared."
"Hey," Evie exclaimed. "Wait a minute. I still have my mirror."
"What's so special about it?" Buford asked.
"The mirror was originally broken into seven pieces, but my mother was able to retrieve this one piece." She took her handheld magic mirror out of her pocket. "We can use this to locate the other pieces of the mirror."
"Excellent," Fairy Godmother said.
Geyser the guard approached Fairy Godmother. "Ms, may I remind you that you still need to unfreeze the guards around Auradon Prison?"
"Quite right, excuse me everyone. I have some frozen guards I must attend to."
After Fairy Godmother left, everyone looked at the mirror in Evie's hand.
"So let me get this straight," Baljeet said, "you can ask that mirror any question and it will give you an answer."
"Only if you ask a certain way." Addressing the magic mirror, she said, "Mirror mirror in my hand, where are the other pieces of the mirror in this land."
The mirror briefly sparkled as everyone waited anxiously for the answer to Evie's command. A few seconds later, a teenage boy with blond hair appeared in the frame, looking at his face using a piece of the Magic Mirror. Evie groaned.
"Who is that?" Baljeet asked.
"That would be Chad Charming," Jay said.
"He like a prince or something?" Isabella inquired. "I've never seen anyone admire themselves in the mirror that much."
"He's Cinderella and Prince Charming's son," Carlos explained. "He inherited the charm, but not a lot of the there, there."
"I can see that," Phineas said.
"I guess we'd better get it back from him then," Mal said begrudgingly.
"But how hard could that be?" Jay asked.
"You're telling me this is from your precious magic mirror?" Chad asked. He smirked. "I think not. I found it."
"And where did you find it?" Phineas asked in a serious tone of voice.
"I found it in the garden, it was nowhere near the Museum of Cultural History."
"Come on, Chad," Ben urged. "Just give us the piece of the mirror and then this can all be over with."
"No way, man. Audrey already took my other mirror. There's no way I'm loosing this one too."
"Chad," Evie said, "I don't know why you need a mirror that much anyway. Not like it helps improve yourself any."
"Don't you realize that's a cultural artifact?" Mal asked. "Just hand it over."
"I'm going to have to command that you do as she says," Phineas added.
Chad asked, "Who's the triangle-headed kid, again?"
"Name's Flynn," he answered in a British accent. "Phineas Flynn."
"Yeah, whatever. But I'm not giving up this mirror just because you–"
"You listen here, Big Boy," Isabella said. "Maleficent is the one who was after that mirror and I'm sure that she'll try everything in her power to give it back. I take it you don't want to mess with the mistress of all evil, do you?"
Chad frowned. "But...I...I've got to..."
Jay suddenly snatched the mirror fragment from his grasp. "I'll take that."
"Hey!"
"That wasn't so hard, now was it?" Jay teased.
"Oh fine. Take it, I don't need a stupid mirror anyway." Chad walked away, fuming to himself.
"Oh, Chad!" Ben called. "Watch out for that–"
"Ah!" Chad exclaimed as he tripped over a trashcan.
"Well, that was easier than I thought it was going to be."
"See?" Jay asked. "Slippery fingers aren't only good for stealing stuff."
"We showed that guy who's boss," Buford said. "We've only got five more pieces to go."
Evie addressed her mirror once again: "Mirror mirror in my hand, show me where the other pieces of the mirror did land." The mirror showed two more missing pieces of the mirror. But there was no way of telling where they were. "Magic Mirror, not so close." The mirror's view zoomed out to show the entire planet earth. "Closer...closer...closer." After zooming it's view in, the right side of the mirror showed a vast grassland and the left showed a garden of trees with red roses.
"How are we supposed to tell where those places are?" Carlos asked.
"Wait a minute," Baljeet said, "I recognize some of those trees on the right side of the mirror. Those are acacia trees."
"So?" Mal asked.
"Acacia trees are from Africa."
Phineas snapped his fingers. "The Pridelands! Of course!"
"Wow, those fragments traveled far," Ben said. "I think I recognize those trees with red roses on the left."
"Aren't those the Queen of Heart's trees?" Jay asked.
"Exactly. That must mean the mirror fragments landed in Wonderland."
"It will take us days to get to each one of those locations," Buford pointed out.
"Not if we use the Dimensionator!" Phineas said. "Let's go get Candace and get to the Tri-State Area."
"Hey, we can help you guys?" Mal suggested. "This is my mother we're talking about, after all, and I know her like the back of my hand."
"Sure," Phineas said, "the more the merrier. Let's get going."
"I'm afraid I'll have to stay here," Ben explained. "I've kind of got a kingdom to run and no one is in position to take the reins if I were to leave."
"Audrey can handle things, right?" Isabella asked.
Ben, Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos shuddered at the thought.
Ferb tapped Phineas' shoulder. "Don't worry, I didn't forget about Candace and Stacy."
"So let me get this straight," Anna said, "you've been to Mars?"
"See my brother's built a portal to Mars to help one of their friends with a science fair project and I went through it and found these Martians. Then they made me their queen!"
"How did that go?" Elsa asked.
"Well it kind of backfired since they never wanted me to leave."
"Aw," Olaf said, "that's a bummer."
"Most of her plans to stardom backfire," Stacy added. "As do her attempts to bust her brothers."
"Yeah, it never fails. Every time they build some crazy invention, I try to show Mom but it always vanishes before she gets to see it. Everything from the roller coaster, the beach, the fashion craze they started...everything vanishes."
"Sounds like an interesting mystery," Anna pointed out. "Maybe you should get to the bottom of it."
Candace lit up. "Hey, you know? That's not a bad idea. Hear that, Stacy? I've been thinking about this all wrong! I've been so focused on trying to get Mom to see what they're doing that I've been neglecting an even bigger issue. Instead of trying to stop them from disappearing, I need to figure out why they disappear."
Stacy grinned. "Looks like you've got her started."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Elsa said.
Phineas, Ferb and Ben entered the room.
"Hi," Ben said, "I just wanted to make sure everything was OK."
"Everything's perfect," Elsa told him.
"Hey, Candace," Phineas said. "I hate to break up your chat-time, but we've got to get back to Danville."
"Already?" Candace asked. "You found out who the evil scientist is trying to get in contact with?"
"Yeah, we'll explain on the way. Come on."
Candace turned to Anna, Elsa and Olaf. "Well, turns out we have to go."
"Thanks for stopping by," Elsa said. "It was fun."
"Yes, yes it was."
