Chapter 6
While Phil is training Matthew to unlock his magical abilities and Maleficent and Uma are figuring out a battle plan, let us go back in time to 18 years ago when Mal and the gang answered Hades's call for help…
18 years ago,
Mal, Ben, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Hades and a few palace guards arrived at the bridge connecting Auradon and the Ilse of the Lost were Uma was waiting for them. "Thank you for answering our call," said Mal, hugging Uma. "Anytime, what's with Hades and the back up?" Uma asked, nodding her head in their direction. "Olympus need our help apparently," said Mal. "Where are you going?" asked a voice behind them. Mal turned and saw the Beast and Belle walking toward them. "Didn't the messenger tell you?" Ben asked his parents. "Yes, he did, but I want to hear it from you," said the Beast looking angrily at Hades who shrugged his shoulders and turned his back on them. "We're going to Mt. Olympus," said Ben. "Why?" the Beast asked. "Cronos the Titan has escaped Tartous," replied Ben. The Beast said to Hades, "Your father? How did he escape?" he asked. Hades turned back to face him. "How should I know?" said Hades. "I've been on the Ilse ever since you put me there. I couldn't keep track on what's going on in the underworld," he said. The Beast walked up to Hades and glared at him. "You are saying that it's my fault he escaped," he said making a growling noise. "Well I would never intentionally release him, even if I do blame my brothers for tricking me to rule the dead, I would never ever release him for such petty revenge," said Hades. "If I was allowed every once in a while, to look at the underworld then he would not have escaped," he said. Before the Beast could say anything Mal interrupted them, "We can play the blame game later, I would like to get a move on so I can watch my son wake up tomorrow," she said her eyes glowing green whenever she's frustrated. Ben placed a hand on her shoulder, and she calmed down a bit. "Why does it have to be both of you?" The Beast asked. "Auradon needs a ruler," he said to Ben. It was Mal who answered. "That's why I called Uma, she's the only one, besides me, who have the power to protect Auradon while we're gone," she said. She turned to Hades, "Whenever you're ready dad," she said. Hades pulled out a knife and cut his finger, letting the blood cover the knife. He then drew a circle into the air and the portal to Olympus opened. Hades stepped through, followed by Evie, Carlos, Jay, Ben and the palace guards. Mal was about to step through when she looked at the Beast and Belle. "Look after Matthew while we're gone," said Mal. "Of course, we will," said Belle nodding her head, hugging her husband's shoulder. "We probably won't be gone long," said Mal. She looked at the castle to a window were her son is sleeping inside. She looked over at Uma who nodded her head and Mal stepped through the portal. Once she stepped through, Mal felt a sudden surge of power flowing through her and she fell to the ground in agony.
