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.

Author's Note, this story is not only my own interpretation of Descendants 2, but will also take place after the events of my first Descendant Story Core of Darkness which I highly recomend you read first before reading this one since it will be featuring my own OC character Malice who is Mal's twin brother, along with the possible appearance of Mal, Evie, and Carlos's father's along with Jay's mother. Hope you enjoy reading and as always please review!

Previously on Descendants - a huge dragon-like roar tore through the Isle shaking everything to the core so much everyone started to fear that the entire island would fall into the ocean. "Guess Mal decided to follow us." Lonnie said while clutching onto Jay's arm for support. "Don't worry about Mal." Evie replied raising her voice just slightly over the noise. "Leave her to us right guys?" She asked turning to both Jay and Carlos as the two boys nodded.

"We need to reach Mal with a spell." She replied. "Not a magic one, but one that comes from the heart." And with that, Evie closed her eyes and began humming a soft tune that suddenly began to play from deep inside, and when she opened her eyes again and looked at Mal, it was almost as if she could see right into her soul, which seemed to be torn with mixed emotions. Emotions of worry, hurt, and fear. That was where Evie knew she needed to reach. That was the part of Mal that she needed to reach and remind her that she and her friends were here for her.

"If I'm the sun then you're the moon," She began to sing as Carlos and Jay both looked at each other and nodded. "If you're the words then I'm the tune, yeah."

"If you're the heart then I'm the beat," Jay belted out as he looked into Mal's eyes.
"Somehow together we're complete, yeah."

Now it was Carlos's turn as he drew in a deep breath, and inside his head he now began to recall all the memories he had of Mal from the time they first met up until now and how much she has been there for him. "There are times my world is crumbling
And the rain is crashing down
But everywhere you are, the sun comes out."

Then as one the three of them began to sing, "Even when you're gone, I feel you close
You'll always be the one I love the most
You're in my heart, on my mind, you are underneath my skin
And anywhere, anytime, that you need anything
Count me in (uh uh uh uh oh)
Count me in, yeah."

Mal started to roar in pain now as her eyes began to flicker even faster now as she thre her head back against the force of the spell. Evie now knew that her plan had worked, and that the spell the three of them were singing was somehow reaching her. "Hang on sis." Evie then turned now to see Malice half walking and half stumbling over toward but at least the color was starting to come back to his face. "Malice, what are you doing?" Jay asked. "You should be resting." But Malice shook his head and reached out for Carlos's other hand which he took without question. "Mal's my twin." He said slowly trying to regain his composure. "If anyone can truly reach her it's me."

'And with that Malice drew in a deep breath and looked at the black dragon in front of him. "Cause we're two halves of the same heart
That beats to our own drum," He sang out as he started to feel his magic returning.
"You're the shadow, always by my side
You sometimes know me better than I know myself
And I wish that you were here with me tonight."

Mal once again let out a thunderous roar as her body now started to oulse and glow, as the group this time with Malice included sang out the final part of the spell.

"Even when you're gone, I feel you close
You'll always be the one I love the most (I love the most)
You're in my heart, on my mind, you are underneath my skin
And anywhere, anytime, that you need anything
Count me in (uh uh uh uh oh)
Count me in, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh uh uh oh, count me in
Uh uh uh oh, count me in."

A surge of bright light started to form around Mal's body surrounding and enveloping her like an orb as she let out another one final thunderous roar which now started to shift into her normal voice screaming out in pain. Her souless yellow eyes had now shifted back permantly to emerald green, nd her body slowly started to regain human form much to the shock and amazment of her friends. Her long hair which had shifted to black had slowly started to return to it's normal shade of royal purple. Her skin which had been covered in strange markings which resembled black thorns had started to receed, and once she was completly normal, she began to sway on her heels and her eyes started to flutter. "Mal!" Everyone all yelled at once as Ben quickly rushed to her side and managed to catch her just as she fell to the floor unconsious

NOW...

Chapter 21 - Everybody's Got A Wicked Side (Part 1)

Mal's head throbbed as she slowly opened her eyes expecting to find everyone upset with her, only to find it was the exact opposite. "Mal! Thank god your okay!" Evie squealed as tears streamed down her face. Mal slowly sat up to find herself lying down in a bed, and with a look of confusion to her friends she asked, "What happened? Where am I?"

"You're in the Isle of the Lost inside the Anti-Heroes club." Jay said as Carlos quickly explained further more about the situation. "So let me get this streight this has to do with what everyone here saw us do at the Coronation?" Mal asked as Carlos nodded. "Although more importantly I think it has to do with you defeating your mom."

"But I didn't defeat her!" Mal suddenly cried out alarming the others. "What do you mean?" Carlos asked his eyes growing wide at this unexpected news.

Mal sadly hung her head and begun to explain the events that had happened just before she began to lose control of her emotions. "I was in my old room thinking about what to do so I was about to use my magic to teleport to you guys when Zevon appeared. I tried to tell him I was leaving but he wasn't going to let me. He kept on using the arranged marriage contract against me, telling me that I had agreed to go through with it and that I couldn't go back on my word."

"So what are you going to do?" Evie asked as Mal just shook her head in response and couldn't even bring herself to take a glance at everyone around her including Malice.

"I guess after seeing my mother there, I just kind of lost it." She said as her voice started to break with emotion. "I didn't mean to, but I just couldn't help what I was feeling. I was so frustrated about everything that was happening around me and that I couldn't do anything to help, so I just gave in and let control of my emotions."

Evie's own brown eyes welled with tears as she walked over toward Mal and wrpped her arms around her embracing her in a loving hug, which was soon followed by Ben, Jane, Lonnie, Jay and Carlos. "We're all here for you Mal." Evie said softly. "We're here for you whatever you need." Mal let lose her emotions once again and began to break down into tears thrusting herself into Evie's arms and began crying into her shoulder while Evie gently began rubbing small circles on her back to keep her calm.

After a short while of tears and regret, Mal finally mustered up enough courage to pull herself together, as she pulled away from Evie and looked up to see Ben and his caring blue eyes staring at her full of deep concern. "What are you doing here?" She asked timidly as she slowly rose to her feet.

"I came because I was worried about you." Ben admitted softly. "I had no clue what was happening, and when I saw you in your dragon form I assumed the worse was done to you by that creep you were supposed to marry." Mal hung her head at Ben's words and knew that she couldn't put it off any longer. "Ben, it's not like I wanted to leave you guys it's just that I had contract to uphold, and if I didn't fulfill my end of it, I was afraid I was going to lose you."

Ben smiled and lifted her chin up with his hand so that her green eyes bore into his blue ones and for a split second Mal instantly felt a flurry of butterflies hitting her stomach, as Ben leaned in close and kissed her. There was an instant spark the moment their lips touched and Mal just closed her eyes as she gave into the passionate moment, before Ben pulled away from her with her hand still gently holding her chin. "You'll never lose me." He said softly. "I'll always be there for you no matter what."

Tears began to fill up in Mal's eyes again full of happiness before a rush of blue smoke suddenly flodded the room once more. "Now what's happening?" Evie asked her eyes wide full of surprise for a second before flashing to determination as she pulled out her magic mirror from her bag ready for a fight. Jay stood beside her in a fighting stance ready to pounce on the unexpected intruder. Malice at this pint with his eyes flashing emerald green took a fighting stance in front of Mal who stood protectively in front of Ben.

When the smoke cleared, Mal's eyes immediatly flashed to match her brother's as they all caught sight of of course none other then Zevon himself. His eyes sparkled the moment he looked toward Mal, and an evil smile spread across his face. "Thought you could just run away like that huh Malsey?" He gloated tauntingly as Jay groweld in annoyance. "Get away from her you slimeball. Can't you see that you already lost? Give it up already."

Zevon laughed at Jay's words and pulled out a vial full of dark purple liquid and threw it towards Jay's way, which shattered the moment it hit the ground by his feet. Dark purple smoke clouded the ground filling up all around not just around Jay, but around everyone else as they all started coughing and gasping for breath. Mal's eyes singed more darker shades with green as a surge of anger flodded through her, and at this point she looked over at her brother and said, "Leave this to me. Get everyone else out of here."

"Mal, you can't." Ben said grabbing ahold of her hand. "It's too dangerous, you could get hurt." Mal shook her head, and although she began to feel stabbing pains hitting her chest which reminded her of her mother's curse, she ignored the pain and focused all her rage on Zevon. "I have to do this Ben," She said softly. "This won't just go away. This has to stop, and it won't unless he's beaten for good."

Ben smiled and for a moment kissed her on the cheek just as she watched a swirl of green magic surround her brother's hand and in a flash everyone in the room were gone leaving Mal and Zevon facing each other on opposites sides of the room. "Enough is enough, this has to end Zevon." She said firmly, to which Zevon replied, "All you have to do is agree to the contract and I will undo what has been done to your friends."

Mal's eyes flashed once more in anger and a swirl of purple light began to swirl all around her filling her up both internal and externally as well with a surge of power she had never felt before. It was a rush of pure adrenaline and she could feel her body once again transforming into her dragon state, this time not out of fear or anger, but out of love and protection. This time she wouldn't run or hide, this time she was going to prove to herself and to everyone else that she was more then just Maleficent's daughter, even if that meant doing the unthinkable, Mal wasn't going to let anyone stop her from protecting her family and friends, and Zevon was about to learn first hand on what happens when you mess with the child of the most powerful dark fairy to ever roam the land.

TOO BE CONTINUED...Well it's all coming down to this everyone, I think I've done all I can go with this story, so the next chapter will be the last chapter for this story, but don't worry because I have plans for a next Descendants Story called Dark Descent, that will be both a prequel to my first story as well as a sequel to this one, so if you are interested in finding out more about that story and would like more information as to what I have planned please feel free to PM me and let me know.
