HotXbun: I'm sorry that it's been nearly a week since I updated. I was working on another story.

We will meet a new character in this chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Descendants, Avatar The Last Airbender, The Lion King or Moana. But I do own Tala, the Temple of Leaders and a new OC introduced in this chapter.

Chapter 29 Ocean Adventure

Ben's POV

One Hour Later

I was trying to get Nathan to move. But he would not budge!

"Come on Nathan", I commanded. "Let's go!"

But Nathan would still not budge.

"Look", I started. "I'm sorry, but everybody else is not coming with us. If something happened to them, I would never forgive myself. So get your lazy butt of the ground and let's go!"

But Nathan would still not budge! [Saving Kingdoms Extra: You know what they say. Horses are stubborn creatures.]

"I think his lazy butt is trying to tell you something", I heard somebody say.

I turned around and saw that it was Jay.

"Please don't go Ben", Mal pleaded. "Auradon can't risk loosing you to the villains. And neither can I."

"But I have to figure out what King Mufasa wanted to talk to me about", I stated. "I need to get to the Temple of Leaders before the villains destroy it!"

I was about to leave...but my friends stopped me.

"We're not letting you go to the Temple of Leaders Ben", Mal stated. [Saving Kingdoms Extra: Oh no.]

"At least", Jay started. "Not without your friends. We've got your back. [Saving Kingdoms Extra: Phew!]

We've that Chief Moana walked up to me.

"You won't be able to get to the Temple of Leaders on horseback", she stated. "Come with me!"

With that Chief Moana led us to something...and I gasped when I saw it.

It was a boat!

"This is a boat that we found abandoned by a tribe of Kakamora", Chief Moana revealed. "It's yours now." [Saving Kingdoms Extra: (does spit take) What?!]

I looked at Chief Moana in shock.

"What", I said in shock. "Oh no. I can't take a boat from your people."

"You won't be if one of our people come with you." [Saving Kingdoms Extra: Huh?]

With that Tala came running up to us.

"My daughter will be coming with you", Moana revealed. [Saving Kingdoms Extra: (does spit take again) What?!]

"Wait", Chad said in shock. "She's coming with us?"

"Do you know to sail", Tala asked.

Chad opened his mouth, but ended up closing it.

"No", he replied causing Tala to smirk.

"There's something you must know my daughter", Chief Moana said. "You are not the only one going with them." [Saving Kingdoms Extra: Huh?]

"What", Tala said in confusion. "Oh please don't tell me HE is coming with me?"

"Who's he", I asked.

Before Tala could answer...I heard something.

I turned around and saw...a hawk?

The hawk flew to the ground...and transformed into a human! [Saving Kingdoms Extra: (does spit take again) Okay! Stop making me spit!]

It was aboy that had shoulder length, black, layered hair; tan skin and black eyes.

His body was covered in black tattoos.

He was wearing a white vest; dark blue, knee length jean shorts and black flip flops.

He was also holding a large fishhook.

"Hello Bane", Tala greeted the boy (who I now knew was named Bane).

"Hello Tala", Bane greeted. "Looking lovely as ever."

"Who is this", Chad asked.

"I am Bane", said person replied. "Son of Maui. Demi god of the land and sea and hero to all!" [Saving Kingdoms Extra: Oh. So that's who this is.]

"And why are you coming with us", Chad asked.

"Because every captain needs a first mate", Bane stated before walking onto the boat.

Tala turned around and glared at her mother.

"Sorry honey", the latter apologised. "But I thought you wouldn't go if I told you he was going with."

"Fine", Tala said in defeat.

"I have one more thing for you", Chief Moana said to Tala.

"Oh please don't tell me Hay Hay is coming with me", Tala asked in dread.

"Don't worry", Chief Moana stated. "I would never do that to you."

Tala let out a sigh of relief.

"Then what is it", she asked.

With that Chief Moana took off her necklace and put it around Tala's neck.

"You're giving me your necklace", the latter asked in shock.

"Yes", Chief Moana replied. "That way, you'll always have a piece of me with you." [Saving Kingdoms Extra: Aww!]

With that, Tala smiled at her mother before hugging her. [Saving Kingdoms Extra: Double aww!]

"I love you mom", she said.

"I love you too honey", Chief Moana said. [Saving Kingdoms Extra: Okay! Stop making me say aww!]

With that Tala let go of her mother before turning to look at my friends and I.

"Alright", she started. "Let's load up the ship!"

Ten Minutes Later

The ship was loaded and we were ready to take off.

"Okay", Tala said excitedly. "Bane, get those sails moving!"

"Aye aye captain", Band said.

With that Bane transformed into a hawk again and flapped his wings to get the sails moving.

Tala then looked at the ocean.

"Hey ocean", she yelled. "Can you give us a hand?"

With that the ocean...started pushing us!

My friends and I looked at Tala in shock.

"How did you do that", Carlos asked.

"Oh", Tala started. "The ocean is a friend of mine." [Saving Kingdoms Extra: That's a line from Moana.]

"Wait", Carlos started. "So you're telling me that the ocean has a mind of it's own?"

"Yep", Tala replied.

Upon hearing this...Carlos fainted.

My friends went to go help him.

I turned around and looked at the ocean.

"Please may we get to the temple on time."

HotXbun: I hope so Ben. I hope so.

Challenge: Tell me if you think Ben and his friends will be able to get to the temple.

My Answer: I hope so!
