Its been 20 years since the end of the third film and Mal and Ben have become parents to a boy named Matthew. Then out of nowhere Mal's father says that Mt. Olympus needs their help, after that no one has heard from the core group since. 18 years later and Matthew is about to take charge of the throne when his grandmother Maleficent returns.

10. Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Now that we know the true reason why Mal, Ben and the others never returned, we return now to present day, and it's been a few weeks since we last left Matthew with his training with Phil.

…

"Come on kid, more backbone," shouted Phil, as Matthew tries to lift a huge boulder of the ground. Maleficent and Uma arrives. "Well?" asks Maleficent. "When you boasted about this kid's magical background, I had high hopes. But it's been weeks now and not a sliver of magic has come out of this kid," said Phil scratching his head. Maleficent looked at Matthew who gave up on trying to lift the boulder and is now sitting on the ground cross-legged. "Disappointing but not unexcepted," said Maleficent. "Enough for now, boy get over here," she said. Matthew ran up to them. "I found where your parents are being held, we are going to get them, then with their help we free Zeus and put an end to Cronos," said Maleficent. "How do you plan on entering Olympus?" asks Phil. "We go up," replied Maleficent. Maleficent then transformed into her dragon form and motioned them to get on. "I hate flying," muttered Phil as he reluctantly got on.

…

Persephone is in the underworld when she senses intruders on Olympus, she got out her crystal ball and waited for Cronos to answer. "Yes my lady?" asks Cronos. "I sense that we will be having visitors soon, I'm on my way, make sure they don't free Zeus," she said. "Yes my lady," said Cronos. Cronos waited until Persephone is gone and spoke to himself. "I'll play your games for a little while longer, soon I will have what's rightfully mine once again," he said. "Medusa," he said. A slithering sound indicated to Cronos that she's listening. "Stand guard over my granddaughter and her friend's statues, I have someplace to be," he said.

…

Maleficent and the others have made to the top of Olympus when suddenly a harpy came flying and screeching at them. Maleficent is far smarter and faster than a harpy and she quickly got rid of it by turning it to ash. Flying to the window of the throne room, it was up to Uma to smash the window. They jumped of Maleficent and landed right in front of the statues of Mal and the others. For the first time in his life, despite seeing only pictures of them, Matthew sees his parents. "Mother? Father?" he said. Maleficent looked at her daughter's statue and said, "So this is what you become my child? A statue? Being good made you soft." Not hearing what Maleficent said Matthew asks her "How do we free them?".

"We cut off Medusa's head," replied Maleficent. At that moment a slithering sound can be heard but nobody could see where it was coming from. Then from behind the statue of one of the palace guards Medusa appeared.
