No one could believe what they were seeing, Maleficent was basically torturing her daughter. Mal was riving around on the floor, screaming in agony and what was worse was none of them could help her. They were each fighting their own opponent with it taking both Fairy Godmother and Mel to fight Diablo so he didn't seriously hurt one of them. Mal's screams were painful to listen to for everyone except Maleficent and Diablo, they seemed to be taking some kind of sick twisted joy from the sound.
It took a few minutes but Evie and Ben finally got the upper hand with the goons they had been fighting. They took a quick glance at each other before nodding. The pair knew they were going to help Mal. They couldn't leave her like that any longer. With a quick rhyme in her mirror, Evie summoned a force field around Mal before the two ran through it and knelt at the purple haired girls side.
Both teens were worried about their friend/girlfriend. She had stopped screaming since the force field had been produced, much to Maleficent's annoyance, but she had hardly moved and was clearly struggling to breath. "Mal?" Ben called to her. He was hoping for somekind of response from his girlfriend and was glad when she turneed her head a little to look at him. "We need to get you out of here." Ben told her.
"No." Mal breathed out. "I need to see this through and finish it." She managed to tell them.
"You need to go see a doctor." Evie stated. There was no way on hell she was about to let Mal kill herself by trying to fight Maleficent like this. To prove her point Evie made her mirror show Mal her ribs were broken. She turned the mirror to show her injured but regretted upon seeing Mal's grin.
Wincing Mal placed her hand oner the ribs that were hurting her. "Make it easy, make it quick, heal my ribs without a hitch." Mal breathed out. She couldn't help the gasp and wince she produced as she felt her ribs magically heal themselves. Seconds later her breathing no longer hurt. Other then a dull ache she felt completely fine. Slowly and with Ben helping Mal stood up and looked around. As she did she noticed the force field was starting to waver as maleficent kept blasting it with magic. Clearly she wasn't happy at not being able to continue whatever she had been doing to Mal.
"E?" Mal said causing the blue haired teen to look at her. "Move." Evie looked at her with a confused expression just as Maleficent succeeded in dropping the force field. Mal wasn't sure what Maleficent conjured but it was heading straight for Evie. Without thinking Mal moved in front of her sister and took the hit herself, not having enough time to deflect it. Surprising even Mal herself, the hit didn't hurt her. Sure the force of it made her take a few steps backwards, pushing Evie back with her, but other then that there was no effect.
Mal slipped her hand into her pocket and gripped the object in there tightly for a second, before releasing it. She couldn't let Maleficent see it yet or the Mistress of all Evil would know what the teens plan was. She hadn't told anyone else her plan, she had stayed clear of them all week long. It was about the only she could control herself with, because her magic certainly hadn't been complying with what she wanted. The young fairy was still unsure how she was going to adapt this plan to work on both Maleficent and Diablo but she would figure it out. She had to.
Seeing her mother's evil grin directed at Ben, Mal focused all her magic into her hands and sent the most powerful magic ball she could muster in the direction of the Evil Fairy. It took Maleficent by surprise, not having expected her daughter to retaliate and knocked the older fairy to the ground with a grunt. The noise, Mal noticed, was enough to distract Diablo for a second allowing Mel and Fairy Godmother to finally get the upper hand. The two hit him with Magic at the same time sending his flying over towards Maleficent, landing almost on top of her. That was when Mal got the idea of how she could work this.
Before anyone could say anything to the young fairy she ran over to the pair on the floor and erected a force field around herself, Maleficent and Diablo. She shot two magic blasts into the force field ensuring only herself could break or lower the force field and no one could enter or leave.
Mal watched as the two evil being stood up in front of her. "Well Mal, I have to say, this may just be the most stupid thing you've ever done." Maleficent stated, smirking at Diablo as she did so. The purple haired fairy saw her brothers had finally defeated Maleficent's goons and were standing with Ben, Evie, Mel and Fairy Godmother all six couldn't believe what Mal was doing.
"Do tell." Mal stated. The way she saw it Maleficent's magical hit had done nothing to her earlier so why would it now. Besides she had a little secret in her pocket that would hopefully ensure she came out of this. She just had to time it perfectly.
She watched as Maleficent raised an eyebrow at her. But it was Diablo who answered her. "You've trapped yourself in here with us without back up. I would say that is pretty stupid." He explained their logic and Mal couldn't help but chuckle. Of course they would think they had the upper hand. How many times does she have to best her mother and her minions before she understands Good will always be more powerful then Evil.
Once she stopped her chuckling Mal couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Oh please. I stepped in the way of whatever she threw at Evie and it didn't bother me. What else could you two possibly do?" She questioned. She knew she was goating them into attacking her but she didn't care. She just had this strange feeling. Like no natter what they did they couldn't touch her. She had felt like that since Mel had whispered advice to her earlier and she had truly accepted both her light ad dark magic. Besides the spell that had her in agony (although that only accentuated the pain she was already in) she had been right. Plus the look on Maleficent's face at the mention of her stepping in front of Evie was great.
"Mal! Don't do this!" Mel shouted to her little sister. None of them could believe she was deliberately goading them into this.
"I'll be fine." She responded, her eyes never leaving the two in front of her.
"Please, Mal. Don't do whatever you are planning to do." Ben pleaded with her. At the sound of his voice she couldn't help but turn and face him. She could see how upset he looked. Hell everyone looked upset but she knew she had to do this. This had to end now. Mal watched as shock spread across the faces of everyone there. Turning back to the two inside the force field with her she couldn't help but notice their shocked expressions too. It was then she noticed the magic balls in their hands and realized they must have been throwing them at her and she hadn't even noticed. Clearly she was right in her assessment. They couldn't do anything to hurt her. No matter how much they tried.
The thought made her grin as she once more reached her hand into her pocket, gripping the item inside there tightly. She knew this would work but for it to she had to make them both use their magic at the same time. "Surely you two can do better them simple magic balls?" She watched as the two exchanged a glance. "And you call yourselves powerful evil forces? Please." Mal said. She got the result she wanted however. But Maleficent and Diablo saw red and each raised their hands shooting magic at her. She didn't no what and she didn't care.
Mal slowly filled the force field with purple smoke obscuring the two from seeing what she was pulling from her pocket. But she also noticed neither of them were using their magic anymore. She heard various people calling out to her from outside the force field and she could swear there was a few new voices there but she couldn't focus on that right now. "Aww are the two big bad's going to let a little smoke stop them?" She taunted, grinning when she felt them both use their magic again.
She muttered a spell activating the emerald in her hands before placing another force field around herself and placing the gem on the floor. She felt herself grow weaker both physically and magically. The last thing she thought of was that she hoped her plan had worked before everything went black.
