"Please! Ben! I'm scared!" she cried. don't know what's-I don't know what's happening. I don't-I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go, Ben please. Please, I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go...I..."
"MAL NO!" Ben yelled.
"BEN!" Mal yelled out as she faded away.
He watched as his entire world turned dark and then...
"NOOOOOO!"
Ben bolted up gasped heavily.
He had just woken up from the same nightmare he had been having endlessly.
"Again?" a voice asked sitting beside him.
He turned to none other than Maleficent sitting on her "bed", which was nothing more than a pile of stones.
In fact, that was what everyone's beds were. Nothing more than stones.
No blankets, no warmth, just endless suffering and torment in the cage they all lived in.
Ben, Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, Cruella de Vil, Doug, Jane, Audrey, Chad, and Uma were all suffering.
They were the only remaining ten survivors of a crisis that occurred two years ago in the our homeland, Auradon.
A group of the most vile and horrid villains known as the Marvels, all children of former villains from a kingdom in another realm opposite of Auradon and led by the son of Thanos, came to Auradon seeking power items known as Infinity Stones.
The heroes all tried to stop them, but in the end, they failed. The heroes lost.
Xanos, the leader and son of Thanos, used the stones to completely alter the world, bringing forth what he called balance.
He used the stones to turn everything in Auradon evil. All the people. All heroes. Even the sky was now bright red and black to respresent evil.
And as for the heroes, or former villains and VKs, the Marvels erased them all from existence. Including the heroes amongst them that were very close and dear to the surviving ten.
They were all that was left.
Ben and all the others were the last of them.
Every other hero was evil, and everything else was erased from existence.
Even the four Descendants themselves, Evie, Carlos, Jay, and Mal, Ben's only true love, had been erased.
All a part of the Marvel's plan. To make them suffer in a world were only suffering and evil reigned.
One world remained good, and one became fully evil.
That was their definition of balance.
And that is what life has been like for the past two years.
Ben wrapped his arms around his legs and buried his face in them and started crying.
He had been having dreams and nightmares about Mal for so long. Both about beautiful memories of them, and about the day she vanished forever.
He kept thinking about the fact that that very day, Mal had died twice. Once when they had to stab one another to get the Soul Stone in order to stop Xanos, and then when they failed to stop Xanos.
He wasn't the only one suffering. Maleficent was too, for Mal was her own daughter.
Jane and Cruella suffered together for Carlos while the Evil Queen and Doug suffered together for Evie.
Jafar suffered alone for Jay, while Audrey and Chad suffered for their parents. They however seemed to get along better than everyone else for they were already a couple. But they still hurt very badly.
And Uma suffered just for everyone. She lost her family, her friends, her crew mates, and her own best friend, Mal.
Everyone suffered, and it was all for the Marvels' own entertainment.
"I swear to god, I will get out of this prison one day," said Ben. "And when I do, I will wring Xanos' neck with his own gauntlet!"
"At least you still have hope," sobbed Uma. "I've lost all mine."
"No Uma, I don't have hope," said Ben. "The only reason I haven't killed myself already is because first I want to kill Xanos. Then I'll gladly kill myself to be with Mal."
"Hey!" snapped Maleficent. "What kind of talk is that!?"
Everyone stared up.
"Look at us," she said. "We're all hurting, yes! We're all suffering, yes! But Xanos forgets one thing! We are heroes! Heroes do lose sometimes! Yeah! But they never give up! I have not given up one bit! I still remain hopeful that we will get out of here! And I remain hopeful that we can undo everything those demons did!"
"Wow," said Chad. "I've never seen so much...uh...hero in you!"
"Well just like heroes never give up," said Maleficent. "Villains don't either. So that will has stuck with me always."
"But Maleficent, how can we undo everything they did?" asked Jafar. "They erased and changed basically reality with a magic gauntlet!"
"Then that's what we need!" said Jane. "The Infinity Gauntlet! We need to steal it from Xanos and use it undo everything he has done!"
Everyone was standing up suddenly now fully of courage.
"I'm tired of sitting around and being used as a personal TV show for the Marvels so they can watch me suffer," said Doug. "I want my Evie back!"
"And I want to kill every single one of those kids," said Cruella. "I'll tear off all their skin and make human coats!"
Ben now was standing up too.
"Where has all of this hope and courage come from?" asked Ben.
"Maybe because we finally decided to stop suffering," said the Evil Queen.
"Well whatever it is, I'm in," said Ben. "Everyone may be gone, but we are still here! We can still fight! We will fight! We will do whatever it takes to bring everyone back! And I will not stop until I have Mal back in my arms! Who's with me!?"
Everyone cheered out loudly.
"Well first thing is first," said Audrey. "How the fuck are we going to get out of here? These cages are magically shut with magic from the Infinity Gauntlet."
"If only I had my mother's wand," said Jane. "That could destroy any magic from that wretched gauntlet."
Suddenly, everyone began to feel slight rumbling. It was coming from underground.
Everyone frantically stepped back against the walls.
The stones in the ground were moving.
"What is this!? An earthquake!?" Chad asked frantically.
Suddenly the stones in the ground burst out and made a hole.
And out from that hole, came a small furry dog.
"Holy shit! Finally!" the dog suddenly yelled, speaking English. "I finally found you guys!"
Everyone's jaws dropped.
"DUDE!" they all yelled.
It was none other than Dude, the school's mascot who became Carlos' own pet. And who learned to talk after a mistake from Carlos and Mal.
Ben grabbed Dude and began hugging and kissing him repeatedly. Everyone joined in and began petting him.
"I can't believe it!" gasped Uma. "You're still here!"
"Why weren't you erased with everyone else or turned evil?" asked Audrey.
"I guess because I was deemed insignificant," said Dude.
"Well you are so getting an all you can eat buffet after we fix the world," said Ben.
Dude cheered out and jumped out of Ben's hands. He then crawled back into the hole.
"Give me a second!" Dude yelled. "Gotta get something!"
He returned a few minutes later, with Fairy Godmother's wand, Maleficent's scepter, Jafar's staff, Cruella's smoke ring, and Doug's dwarf War Hammer.
Everyone frantically grabbed their prized possessions.
"I've been digging for two years, dragging those things around with me," said Dude. "I managed to use the wand for only a quick second to make it so I would never be able to starve until I could get one of you to fix it."
"Good dog!" Chad chanted. "Very good dog!"
"Who's ready to finally break out of here?" asked Audrey.
"And then we can go kill those kids," said Uma.
"Are you crazy!?" Ben yelled. "We are so not going after the Marvels once we break out of here!"
"What!?" gasped Doug. "What do you mean!?" Don't you want revenge?"
"Of course I do!" said Ben. "But we have no strategy. No plan. No idea how powerful these guys have gotten or anything. So after we break out, we find a place to hide out and then we make a plan."
"I don't really care what we do next," said Maleficent. "I just want out! So everyone back up!"
Everyone stepped back while Maleficent pointed her scepter at the magically enchanted cage door.
Then she blasted a magic beam at it and sent it flying right off its hinges and into the wall.
The heroes cheered out as they ran out of the cage.
"We're free," said Jane. "We're finally free."
"And now we start planning," said Ben. "Follow me. I think I know only one place we can hide out."
Everyone nodded and followed Ben as they all ran out of the dungeon.
"I will make those bastards pay," he thought to himself. "And I will find a way to bring Mal back. And if I can't, then I will damn well avenge her, and avenge everyone else!"
Happy new year Descendants and Marvel fans! Here is the first chapter in the sequel story, where the surviving heroes must take on the Marvels and hopefully find a way to bring everyone back! Stay tuned for the next chapter!
