They were another hour in the cafeteria waiting for the all clear. Students were grumbling as it had never taken this long before, but Ben wanted his guards to make sure no one returned from the museum and hid in any of their rooms. Once they had word, the row boat was seen returning to Skull rock with three on board, they allowed them in, but the guards still stayed outside their rooms. Morning classes were cancelled to allow the students to sleep. As was the 7:30 Swords practice.

Later in the morning Ben called Mal and her friends to his office at the school. They all arrived, wondering what was up. One by one they entered the office. Along with Ben they met with the head of museum security. He had the footage of the museum, he had it set up to be on a TV screen in Ben's office..

"I brought you all here to see the footage inside the museum. I want to know if you can figure out if they got what they really wanted?" The head guard said. So they watched on a three way split screen, as Gil tried the wand, Harry the spell book and Uma the Trident.

"My guess is either the trident or the spell book." Jay said. "Do you have footage of them leading up to this?"

So they watched as Uma spelled the guard into letting them in. Mal made a mental note to watch the shell necklace and sure enough it glowed. The guard sat dazed, looking right at them on the screens, walk freely in the museum. They found the spell book first, as it was in the hall of villains. "Is there sound?" Evie asked, and the guard nodded and turned up the volume.

"Really, right out in the open, are they just asking for us to take it?" Gil asked Harry.

"Can't be that easy?' Harry replied. He then read the sign next to the book. "To the visitors of the Museum of Cultural History- This is a very special spell book. It once belonged to Maleficent, a powerful fairy who was cast out of this kingdom. The book was inherited by her daughter, Mal," At this Uma made a gagging noise. Harry read on " who was ultimately brought to Auradon on King Ben's orders. He founded an initiative to give Villain kids more opportunities in this land." He walked around the box, looking it over. He looked at Uma who was looking around the room, fuming that her mother wasn't even in the room.

"These Boreadon freaks will pay for not including my mother in here!" She said slamming the container that held Evie's mirror. Nothing happened, which caught Harry's attention. He tried the glass, and found it opened.

"Leave that, it's useless, only a piece of the real thing. It is like the shell before I put it together, you'd need all the pieces to get it to work, and I don't have time for that again." Uma yelled, "We have much bigger fish to find. We have the location of the stupid spell book."
"Why bother, you didn't even use it to spell Ben anyway?" Harry said. Mal jumped.

"Rewind that please?" Mal asked. He did and they listened to Harry admit that Uma didn't use Mal's spell book. "Well that is interesting, and tells me one thing."
"What?" Ben asks.

"The trident was their main goal." The other three VK's nod in agreement. "Continue please." Mal said. They watched them leave the Hall of Villains and head into the Hall of Heros. There they found Triton holding his trident.

"It can't be that easy, there is no way the statue is holding the real thing, these Boradon idiots aren't that stupid." Harry asked.

"Maybe they are?" Gil added, then pointed to the real, "fake", trident, in a display behind Triton. Suspended in midair just as the wand was.

"Wow these guys really are stupid." Uma gasped.
"Ok, let's find the wand." Uma said, not really looking over the setup of the tridents security.

"Strange, she didn't really check out the security of the trident. You would think she would have looked it over more." Pointed out Jay.

They traveled further and found the wand floating exactly where Mal and her friends had found it just seven months before. Uma stared at it longingly.

"I will admit their fake wand looked like the real thing." Uma said.
"Maybe this one is fake too." Gil joked. Harry glared at him, then Uma's face changed to anger, remembering the loss on the ship. Harry pushed poor Gil over.

"Ok, here's the plan Gil you stay here and grab the wand. Harry the spell book, and I'll grab the trident. I will start the countdown. This place seems to echo like the caves, we should hear each other. I'll say go. You each count to 3 then grab the treasure."
"Got it." Harry and Gil yelled. Harry ran to the Hall of Villains and Uma the Hall of Heros.

"Ready…..GO" Uma yelled and you could see each counting 1..2..3." Then they each grabbed their selected object. Gil was immediately sent to the floor, as Jay had when he had tried, the alarms now blaring. Jay laughed. Again they watched as Uma, had her hands on the trident, but was also sent flying to the floor. Harry was able to lift the heavy glass case that was over the spell book, but when he had his hands on the book itself, he was shocked by the book stand, but he fought it, and was able to grab the book.

"They will know it's a fake." Evie pointed out.

"How so?" Ben asked

"It was too easy for Harry to grab."

"The stand has an electrical charge, Miss Evie" The guard provided. "As does the stand that holds your mirror. He had several hundred volts shocking him."
"Maybe. But they may also think we either didn't have time to protect it as the others, or that we don't value it as we do the trident or the wand." Ben pointed out. "Remember it was protected, just differently than the other two, and the same as Evie's mirror."
"She won't think that, I know Shrimpy. I am more concerned why she choose, Gil for the wand and not Harry." Mal pointed out. "Harry's hook would have worked best for grabbing the wand."
"She didn't want it?" Evie pointed out.

"I don't think so no." Fairy Godmother added coming into the meeting late, she had, had to deal with another issue. "And visually the spell book will look the same to her. We are hoping she didn't have time to read the whole thing. The love spells are in there. But the spells themselves, all of them, are hexed to go wrong. Although Uma and the others will see it as if it happened the way the spell book says it should."
"We think the trident was her actual target. That's why she wanted to grab it." They all agreed.
"It's a good thing she didn't get it, she would know that one was a fake for sure. As with the wand. The spell book, at least will provide us with a little time to deal with them. If she had gotten either the wand or the trident,she would be aware we were on to them." Fairy Godmother stated.
"Yeah. They don't know about security monitors and the like. There is no way she would know they were recorded." Mal added.

"That's most likely why she spelled Chad to hit the alarm." Jay pointed out. "In case they were seen, Harry and Gil were kept out of sight."

"Jay's right. She thinks she has one up on us. Is there anymore?"

The guard hit play and they saw each of them running out on their own. They met up at the side door. They were now on the footage outside. You could hear the alarm still going off, but the guard Uma spelled with her shell, still just staring at the screens. "The guard?" Harry pointed out.

"He won't remember." Uma pointed out.

"The TV's had pictures of the different halls." Gil pointed out.

"Just TV's." Uma pointed out. "He watched, but again he won't remember. Who got something?"
"I got sent flying onto my butt." Gil admitted.

"Me too." Uma said.

"I got the book, and I can still feel the electric shocks they sent through me arms." Harry said producing the book, his arms shaking slightly.

"Guess these Auradon idiots really don't know what I can do with this baby and the shell." She said tapping the book. They heard running, so they scrambled. That was the end of the footage.

"She sounded an awful lot like she was trying to convince not only herself but Harry and Gil too." Mal stated.

"True. I wonder if she tried any of the spells before she just tried the shell on it's own?" Evie added. "Remember that Ursula told Lady Tremaine she didn't care if she ever got off the isle, she had all she needed as long as they kept the TV working."
"So what are you saying Evie?" Fairy Godmother asked.

"Unlike Mal and I, Uma wasn't raised for revenge, to cause chaos and evil if she ever got off the isle. Her mother never taught her magic. Never talked about the past. Never really explained to her about true love's kiss, never told her about her attack on Ariel and Eric. Unless she learned it at school, Uma is going on her own gut instincts and anger."

"This is her plan not Ursula's. Uma has magic that she has no idea how to control. She was never educated on what she can do." Mal pointed out. "And that could be a really bad thing."

"Yes, untrained magic can go ary." Fairy Godmother agreed. "I know Mal has used magic here, but it was with the spell book, therefore, it was guided."
"And mother used to train me, even if there was no magic on the isle, I was still told how to cast spells and so on."
"Mother also trained me. I was castle-schooled for a long time, that was really all my mother taught me was spells and vanity." Evie added.

"Uma's plans are all her own. That could be better or worse."

The drones were changed to watch more closely for any movement from the isle. Once they saw where the small boat the threesome took off Skull rock they were targeting that Bay.
