Evie had told Uma everything that she had seen last night and what Mal had said to Fairy God Mother. Uma, looking down slowly pacing back and forth with her hand on her chin, thought it over. "We need to find Mal," Uma spoke up and headed for the door.
"Uma," Evie said standing up from the bed, "what are we going to do once we find her. I mean seeing us both together, Mal will know somethings up."
"Well, we'll deal with it in the moment," Uma said looking back at Evie.
"We can't just walk in blind without a plan," Evie said looking at Uma like she was an idiot, "What are we even gonna do when we find Mal?"
"We're going to stop her if Mal doesn't have the wand yet, we need to keep my mother from it and figure out a way to break the curse," Uma snapped back at Evie.
"Mal has magic and your mothers controlling her, how would we even catch her?" Evie was beyond frustrated with Uma.
"We'll figure it out!" Uma yelled back.
"No! You can't just run into everything blind Uma!"
"I'm trying to save Mal," Uma said a confused expression as to why Evie was so hostile.
"No, I'm trying to save Mal!" Evie snapped at Uma, "She's my best friend, and none of this would have happened if you hadn't taken Mal away from her family!"
Uma stood there silent in what Evie had just said. Evie had hit something in Uma that made her feel the guilt even more. Uma felt heavy, but at the same time she felt empty, and her eyes were beginning to sting from holding back the tears. None of this would have happened if Uma hadn't accepted the deal and secondly if she had never brought Mal to her mother.
"Your right," Uma said softly taking a deep breath, "It is my fault that I took away Mal," Evie looked up at Uma with a certain understanding sadness. She could feel the guilt in Uma's voice and the pain she was feeling on her face as she refused to look Evie in the eyes. "But that's exactly why I need to stop my mother. I need right my wrongs and fix what I did wrong. Also, I'm doing it for Mal. She didn't deserve any of this...she was just trying to be the hero."
Evie walked over to Uma and Evie finally understood why Uma was acting so different, why she wasn't even talking or acting like a villain when it came to Mal.
"You love her... don't you?" Evie asked placing a hand on Uma's shoulder. Uma looked up at Evie realizing that her secret had shown through her. Uma was never supposed to fall in love with someone; no one was supposed to touch Umas heart ever. Love was pain and weakness, that's what she had been told all her life, and besides, villains don't get the Uma, she had been Mals enemy for the longest time yet, she had always missed Mal during those days fighting against her. All she wanted to do was have Mal feel has she had felt, all the pain Mal had caused Uma, but when she finally had the chance, Uma found herself being unable to do the job. Mal was special, and Uma had no clue why after all this time she still loved her.
"It doesn't matter," Uma said looking back down, "we need to find Mal." Uma walked out the door leaving Evie standing there for a few seconds pondering over what she had discovered. Evie then escaped her thoughts walking out of the room to catch up to Uma.
*With Mal*
Mal had walked to the broken bridge looking at the Isle with an evil smile pulling out Fairy God Mothers wand from the back of her jacket. Finally, the moment I've been waiting for, after so many years rotting away on this godforsaken place. Auradon will be mine and I will once again not only control the sea, but also land. Ursula thought with excitement, she was so close to victory she thought she could reach out and touch it. Mal then proceded to use the wand to break the barrier between good and evil, that had once lived side by side. With the flick of her hand, the magic shot out like a lightning bolt from the want igniting the sky, looking like a lightning storm. However, the wand was powerful and Mal struggles a little to keep a hold on it, it would take all Mal had just to break the barrier. She gritted her teeth and growled pushing back on the magic trying to put everything she had into it. Finally, the sky seemed to shatter and the once green glow of the isle barrier curse evaporated into nothing. Mal stood there breathing heavily, she was exhausted and it had taken so much out of her, her magic was nearly drained. Still, Mal smiled at what she had accomplished, just like how Ursula said, but it was too early for victories because Uma and Evie had found Mal.
"Hey!" Uma yelled to get Mals attention. Mal turned around to face them, she wasn't afraid of them. "We need to get the wand away from Mal and then inject her with the sedative," Uma leaned over to tell Evie. Evie nodded her head and the two ran straight for Mal. Mal didn't have a lot of magic left, but it was still enough to make it hard on the two of them. She shot a mix of green lightning bolts at them, each one missing after the next as Uma dived and turned to distract Mal.
"What are you doing!" Mal yelled looking at Uma.
"I'm doing the right thing," Uma said running straight for Mal deflecting one of her lighting bolts with her sword. Uma then managed to twist around Mal and grab the wand from her back. Uma now had Mals full attention and Mals eyes were inflamed with red. "I'm sorry Mal," Uma said sincerely. Mal had completely forgotten about Evie, who had ran snuck up behind Mal stabbing her with the sedative in the shoulder. Mal was shocked and tried to turn around, but her knees started to buckle, her body became heavy as well as her eye and Mal collapsed. Evie gently lowered Mal to the ground as she collapsed once again in her arms. Evie looked up at Uma with relief and Uma, with the wand in hand, turned around firing the wand as the lighting flew toward the sky again recreating the barrier. Uma then bent over grabbing her knees in exhaustion, she had never done something like that before only small little things. She didn't even think about it, she just did it naturally and it worked, to Umas surprise. Then suddenly, Ben ran out from the trees as well as Carlos and Jay who stared at Evie and Uma for a second before running over. "What happened Carlos asked?" looking down at Mal.
"We'll explain on the way," Evie said, "but we need to get Mal out of here and somewhere she can't escape the sedative won't last long with her."
The boys all were confused, but Jay didn't waste any time picking up Mal from the ground. Ben had walked over to Uma who handed Ben the wand still out of breath, Ben patted Uma on the back taking the wand. Then they both ran to catch up with the others. "Where are we gonna take Mal?" Evie asked.
"The prison," Ben said thinking fast, " it's the closest and most secure."
"Now will you explain whats happening," Carlos asked concerned for what they were all doing and why Mal had to be put somewhere she couldn't escape. Evie then went on to explain what had happened to Mal and everything up to the present point.
*fast forwarding to when Mal wakes up*
Mals eyes fluttered open and she sat up on the bed being stared at from the other side by Carlos, Evie, Jay, and Uma."Hmmm," Mal said standing up from the ned walking over to the bars of her cell. "I must say I'm quite surprised you tricked me," Mal said running her hand over one of the cell bars. They all looked at Mal with blank faces not knowing exactly what to do. Mal looked at them all and started to laugh.
"Mal?" Evie said walking closer to her, "are you in there?"
Mal laughed again at Evie with a big smile on her face. "Mals gone, don't you see that!"
"I don't believe that Mal is strong," Evie said back.
"Yes she's strong that's why Ursula wanted her," Mal said, "her magic is beyond incredible, but she can't handle them and it wasn't had for Ursula to get her hands on Mal."
"What do you mean," Evie asked looking confused.
"Oh, she hasn't told you how Ursula got a hold of Mal, and how weak she was?" Mal said talking about Uma looking at her with an evil smile. Evie and everyone then looked at Uma who looked just as confused. "Mal, on the isle, was having trouble with her magic, it was killing her. So Uma decided to bring Mal to Ursula hoping Ursula could find a way to use Mals magic."
"No that's not true," Uma said walking over to Mal.
"Didn't you say yourself you could use Mal because of her magic?" Mal said.
"Yes, I did, but that was only to get my mother-" Uma tried to explain.
"You wanted to use Mal and that's why all this happened, you basically gave Mal to your mother," Mal said trying to make them all turn on Uma.
"NO!" Uma snapped back looking at Evie and the others, "Evie please, I told you I was trying to get Mal off the Isle."
"It was a perfect time, Mal was basically dying and had little to no strength left, making Ursula spell Mal a whole lot easier, thanks to Uma."
"No...no I never gave Mal to my mother. I was trying to protect Mal from her magic by asking my mother for help, then she took Mal as I was trying to get her home." Evie just looked at Uma with teary eyes and the boys looked blankly at Uma. "Evie please," Uma begged, but Evie just couldn't think straight. What had everyone done to my Mal? Evie thought.
