Mal and Carlos: "Hello Mother"
FG, Jane, Evie, and Jay took a few steps back from them
Maleficent: "Hello children, I've missed you so much in these past years" her voice was cold like ice
Mal laughed and Carlos smirked
Carlos: "How is Cruella?"
Maleficent: "Sometimes it's like she doesn't even remember you guys" she seemed genuinely upset while saying it "I spent so much time creating you too and she forgot it" she huffed "Well, it seems like you finally decided to act"
Mal: "You know Cruella isn't always herself, especially if she is with you"
Carlos: "You hurt Eddie, Mother, you know how much we cared for him" he seemed disappointed
Everyone around them saw in those minutes of conversation how Carlos and Mal resembled Maleficent, their voices were empty, their faces white, glowing eyes
Maleficent: "Oh Carlos, my poor child. You know what happens when I get angry.. your sister surely remembers how much it relaxes me to kill" she was smiling evilly at Mal
Ben growled a little at that, he clearly remembered how much that smile appeared in his and Mal's nightmares
Maleficent seemed to notice there were other people: "Who do we have here? Did you bring them to me?" Her eyes sparkled
Mal: "You won't touch any of them. You shouldn't have touch Eddie like Carlos said you knew we cared for him.." she was the one with the evil smirk "Now I guess I'll have my revenge"
Maleficent: "Is he your Prince?" she was watching Ben, her mood changed immediately "Well, he is surely handsome, but he is the son of the man who put us there, Mally" she looked at her daughter "You haven't forgotten that, have you? You died because of him"
Mal's body freeze
Maleficent smiled, sure that her daughter couldn't forgive Adam
Mal stretched her hand towards Maleficent throat and the woman seemed to understand how wrong she had been
Mal: "Ben is innocent and Adam didn't kill me, you are the one who killed me, I won't hurt them"
Maleficent: "You are too powerful, that boy is more human that Beast, you will never be able to be with him. Remember Mal, that night I told you the truth"
Mal was a little taken aback, but her hold was tight, Maleficent's eyes started to glow less and less with the passing of seconds
Carlos touched the ground and then looked up
Jane, FG, Evie, and Jay at this point were in front of the Royal Family
FG: "We need to bring her to the Moors"
Carlos turned to look at her and nodded
Ben: "What is Mal doing?"
FG: "Nothing that monster doesn't deserve"
The Royal Family looked at FG like she had grown two heads
Adam: "What is she doing?"
FG: "She is just getting some power like Maleficent did this morning to us" she was angry
Carlos: "We are ready FG" his voice sounded like two, almost like Mal was speaking through him
FG nodded, she looked at Evie: "Stay here, you will hear everything so you will know when it's over"
FG and Jane got near Carlos
Carlos's right hand reach for something at his right and a portal formed, FG and Jane crossed it, then Mal with Maleficent who didn't seem so powerful now and last Carlos who turned and bowed to Evie, Jay and the Royal Family
Ben understood what was happening too late: "NO MAL!" he started to run towards the portal that was closing but Jay stopped him
Jay's eyes were glowing and he growled: "You aren't going Ben, you would be a liability"
Ben: "We can't let them go like that"
Jay didn't calm down: "Yes we can. They have magic, and the Moors are powerful enough to protect them. To protect her. Mal is powerful and she knows what she is doing"
Evie: "Let's go back to the Castle and wait there. It's getting cold here"
The Rulers seemed too shocked to do anything besides follow instructions
Ben got up, he looked at Jay and then followed his parents
The portal closed behind Carlos
Mal was still holding their mother
Carlos: "What are we going to do?"
With the death of Eddie their plan had gone outside the window, they needed a plan B
Mal: "We need to reach the Lake"
FG nodded: "It's the best place to do it, but before we need to get approval" she looked around "they are coming, Mal, do you know the language?"
Mal nodded: "Carlos, will you please take my place?"
Carlos: "Happily"
Jane: "What if they are on Maleficent's side?"
FG: "Believe me. They aren't"
A fairy appeared and started to walk towards them, Mal put herself in front of FG and Jane and talked in a strange language
The fairy seemed taken aback but nodded and when she saw Maleficent her eyes sparkled
The fairy talked and everyone understood: "My name is Lilian, we will help you with the spell. Maleficent has done enough"
When she said Maleficent's name it was like it was poison
More faires appeared and approached Carlos and helped him
Carlos looked at Mal and let go, then with the evilest smirk that he could make he said: "Let's end this"
The group of magic users started to walk towards the Lake
In the Castle
Evie was telling Ben what was happening, this way he could calm a little
Ben: "What's so special about this Lake?"
Evie looked upset and angry, she turned towards Adam: "Why? Why do you think knowing about magic would be worse then not knowing is above me" she huffed "If they knew they wouldn't get in danger by trying to find out alone" she was pissed at the King
Jay looked at Belle and Ben, who was still confused: "The Lake is where magic is born. Their magic is pure chaos. It's dangerous for humans, that is why we aren't there. They will put Maleficent there in the Lake, where her magic will be absorbed again"
Adam: "But Mal said.."
Jay shooked his head: "In this case, magic won't be tamed. It's nothing like what you did. The Lake will simply take her magic, all of it and Maleficent.. well she won't be a problem anymore"
Belle: "Will she die?"
Evie: "Kind of. The part you know will die, she won't be able to do magic anymore. You will be able to put her on the Isle, if you want and if the Moors return her"
Belle nodded and asked Lumiere for some tea and biscuits
Jay: "They will be fine" he was talking to Ben, who started pacing
At the Lake
The eyes of every magic-user were glowing brightly, nobody there could be mistaken for a human
Mal took a breath: "This is heaven"
Lilian giggled: "For magic users, yes. Those Auradonians wouldn't be so happy here" from the way she said it, it seemed like she would happily put someone from Auradon there "That King Adam especially" she smiled wickedly
Mal smiled too, she didn't want to hurt Adam but she understood Lilian's feeling, she saw that Carlos and Jane were talking and she thought of Ben and about what her mother had told her, he wouldn't be able to stay there with her, that sobered her
Mal: "Let's do it"
Every fairy, every magic creature was there, they sat near the Lake, in a circle
Maleficent was being held: "You will regret this" she looked at Carlos and Mal "I'm the only one that can help you with your powers"
Mal and Carlos raised an eyebrow at the same time and said: "The Moors know everything, we don't need you. We never did"
Mal nodded at Lilian
Lilian smiled: "We are here for the return of Magic to the Lake" she looked at Maleficent "You Maleficent are found guilty of unspeakable crimes, the sentence provides your magic to be returned to the Moors, where it belongs"
Lilian pushed Maleficent inside the Lake "Let the spell heal yours and our wounds"
Maleficent started to float on the water and her eyes started glowing a bright green
Everyone shut up at that, the Lake was working, they took each other's hand and closed their eyes
Mal and Carlos were the only two that watched it, Maleficent's body seemed to be melting, she was in pain when the Lake reached to take her magic she screamed
Evie and Jay heard the scream, their eyes were glowing since the portal had closed
Evie: "It has begun, now we have to wait"
After what seemed like days, it ended
Maleficent never seemed so human
Mal and Carlos were silent while helping their mother getting out of the Lake; it didn't matter that they hated her, Maleficent was a human being now
Lilian watched them and then asked: "What will happen to her?"
FG: "There are two possibilities. You can keep her or we could send her back on the Isle"
Lilian: "Sent her back there"
FG nodded
Jane sat near Mal: "That was exhausting"
Mal smiled a little
FG looked at the kids: "Let's go back"
Lilian: "You can come here whenever you want" then every creature disappeared
Mal and Carlos lifted Maleficent's body, that floated between them and followed
When they were near the border of the Moors, FG created the portal, Jane went first, then Mal, Maleficent and Carlos, and FG crossed it last
The portal closed
FG: "Well.. that went well"
This is the end of Maleficent, hope you like it this way
The story clearly isn't finished
Let me know what you think
