WELCOME TO D3! Sorry, I'm just really excited about this. The trailers for D3 were the reason this story even came to be, and I've been waiting forever to write for D3. Anyway, this first chapter is with Heidi. The next one will be with Audrey and will have her POV. I wanted to write them like this so I could show the different storylines each will follow.
The crossover fic is expected to be uploaded soon, so please go check out SuperNova CO. That way you can catch the upload and not be rereading my chapters three or four times while my slow self takes forever to write.
As per usual, I don't own Descendants, only Heidi.
Welcome to Auradon! I am Heidi, Temp Goddess of the Underworld and the daughter of Hades! Now, you must be thinking, why are we doing this introduction thing again? Didn't we do this at the actual beginning? Why yes, yes we did. I just want to narrate again, and this is the only time I get to! Wait...where was I going with this? Oh, hold on...I'm not in Auradon at the moment. I'm on the Isle!
"Hadie! I swear to gods if you don't get your ass over here I will drag you away!"
Down in Hades' Cave, Hades was playing with a magic bouncy ball Heidi had brought him while she was preoccupied. The woman herself was chasing Hadie all around the cave and seemed to be very angry at the moment.
"I'm having second thoughts! I am not going to Auradon!" Hadie yelled back, dodging a fireball that was thrown his way.
I am so glad I'm immune to fire… Hadie thought, blanching at the idea of getting hit by one of Heidi's fireballs.
"Yes, you are! You filled out an application and Mal thought you were the right pick!" Heidi teleported in front of him, a scowl on her face while her eyebrow twitched.
Hadie skidded to a stop, nearly smacking into the older bluenette, "Well, I reject your offer! I can do that…" He paused, looking at Hades, who was still transfixed by the bouncy ball, "I can do that, right, dad?"
Hades caught the ball, looking at it in curiosity as it changed it's form, "Don't know, don't care. Listen to Heidi." He said, clearly distracted while he tried to see if he could destroy the ball.
"Hah!" Heidi grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted the much shorter boy, "I win!" She exclaimed, smiling victoriously while Hadie stuck his tongue out at her.
Hades rolled his eyes at the antics of his kids, Now I'll have no one...Is that a good thing or a bad thing? He wondered as the bouncy ball turned into a diamond that still bounced like a ball.
The god glanced over to see Heidi and Hadie glaring at each other, both of them with fire on the tips of their hair. Since Heidi was manhandling Hadie around, the dispelling properties of her necklace were also affecting Hadie, hence the fire head.
"Will you two cut it out? You're disrupting me time." Hades grumbled, causing both hotheads to look at him strangely.
"You're just playing with a bouncy ball." Hadie said through halved eyes.
"It's always 'me time', dad." Heidi stated, her expression mirroring her brother's.
He waved his hand at the two, "Shut it. I'm this close to figuring out how this thing works." He peered at the bouncy ball as it changed to a ball of magma, "Heidi, how does this work?"
Heidi looked at him in a deadpan, "Magic...One of the gods taught me."
Hades looked at her as he caught the ball, "You go to them and allow them to teach you but you don't help your old father out? Heidi, how could you?" He said overdramatically, feigning hurt as he looked at her.
"They were the ones who offered. The only one who was forced to participate was Ares." Heidi said, exasperation heavy in her voice, "As for you, my dear old father, we've been over this, I'm not helping you take down the barrier."
Hades scoffed and went back to bouncing the bouncy ball, "Then why are you still hanging around here? Don't you two have a limo to catch or something?" He asked, grumbling about how good for nothing his kids were.
Heidi began walking out, still carrying Hadie around by his collar, "Yes we do, Mal and the others are probably waiting for us by now." She said, glaring at Hadie who rolled his eyes.
Hades seemed to perk up at the name of his purple-haired daughter, "Mal's here?"
"Yep." Heidi said, looking at him in suspicion, "Don't try anything, dad."
As soon as she disappeared with Hadie, Hades got up and chucked the bouncy ball as hard as he could against the wall. The ball simply bounced back and smacked him on the head, "Damn thing." He muttered before looking at the stairs, Sorry Heidi, I have some stuff I need to do and I need to get off of this shitty island.
With Mal
Mal couldn't help but admire the ring on her finger, the countless diamonds plus glowing green crystals made it entrancing. While Ben wasn't saying who made it, Mal was sure it was Heidi.
Speaking of Heidi, she heard the woman and the sound of a boy yelling at each other.
"Hadie, if you didn't want to go why did you apply in the first place?!" The woman asked loudly, clearly frustrated with the boy.
"Dad told me to! He said "I need you to fill this out." and told me nothing else! I've been tricked!" The boy cried.
Mal saw the two approach the limo. Heidi was dragging Hadie by the collar while the boy looked straight up terrified. She looked at the two with halved eyes, So this is what she meant by "Good kid, but he's a huge chicken."
Heidi smiled at her, "Sorry I missed it, Hadie is more of a chicken than I thought. Not to mention I had to keep Hades busy." She said, shrugging her shoulders as she tossed her brother into the limo.
"No worries." Mal laughed, "Bouncy ball worked?"
"Like a charm."
Both girls high fived each other and Heidi allowed Mal in first. Heidi got in and closed the door, chuckling as she saw her scared little brother huddled up to a very confused Carlos. She glanced out the window as the limo began moving.
"Heidi, is he okay?" Carlos asked, eyes wide as he glanced at the frightened blue-haired boy.
Heidi smirked, "Yeah, don't worry about him. He's heard all kinds of stories about the gods and thinks that if he leaves the Isle they'll come after him." She explained as Hadie nodded in fear.
"T-They'll come and send me to the U-Underworld as well!" Hadie said quickly, shuddering as Heidi looked at him through halved eyes.
"Hadie, that's ridiculous. I'm the temp here, not you." Heidi deadpanned, grabbing a bar of chocolate and tossing it at him.
Hadie caught it and looked at it strangely, "What's this…?"
"It's a chocolate bar. Eat it, it'll calm your nerves." The goddess said, picking up another one and unwrapping it.
"Huh." He followed her actions and took a bite. His eyes widened and he looked up at his sister, "Holy shit!"
"Language." Heidi chimed, causing Mal to chuckle.
The purple-haired girl suddenly remembered something, "Oh, uh, Heidi?"
Heidi looked at her, "What's up?"
Mal frowned, "You need to talk to Audrey." She said, causing the goddess to raise an eyebrow. Mal shook her head, "I'm serious. She looked really unhappy earlier after talking with Leah."
Heidi sighed at the name of the queen, "Everyone is unhappy after talking with her."
Mal went quiet at that, knowing well what Heidi's relationship with Leah was like.
Queen Leah hated Heidi to a ridiculous degree and everyone agreed on that one. Audrey, who was desperate to make her family support her, disregarded most of what her grandma said. Heidi on the other hand...Heidi had to hold back from blowing a fuse whenever Leah was nearby.
Heidi tuned out the idle chatter of the others as they talked with the new VKs. What could Leah have said this time? Audrey is usually pretty good at ignoring her complaints and arguments. The only time she paid attention was when she announced our relationship.
"Um...Sis?" The words brought Heidi out of her thoughts.
She looked up, seeing the startled eyes of Hadie looking back at her. His hair was glowing slightly, We must have made it past the barrier.
The goddess noticed that he wasn't looking at her, but rather at something in the direction of the Isle. She turned her gaze towards the Isle and her eyes went huge.
Something, or someone, was barreling through the crowd and Heidi had a sinking feeling she knew who it was.
More and more people were pushed out of the way until Hades shoved two people aside and charged towards the barrier.
"Dad!" Hadie and Heidi said in perfect sync, one looking on in fear and the other in exasperation.
Evie looked back, eyes going wide as well, "Stop the car he's trying to escape!" She exclaimed, looking at Jay who quickly stopped the car.
The new VKs stayed in the car while the other six got out. Heidi looked at her father who currently had his arm stuck in the barrier while he tried to widen it with his free hand, "I told you not to do anything!" Heidi yelled at the god, eyebrow twitching as she pulled out her ember.
"Oh, please-" He laughed as continued to try and open the barrier, "-I am a god! You can't expect me to just sit on my ass and let this pass up. I'm not an idiot!" He lit up his ember while his hair flamed up
Jay, Ben, and Carlos all tried to rush forward but were thrown back as Hades shot a beam of energy at each of them. Heidi's hand immediately shot out, her own hair flaming up in response to the attack.
Hades ignored the threat and turned his attention on Mal who was stunned and glaring at him. He chuckled and smirked as her eyes turned green, purple mist surrounding her before she emerged as a dragon.
Heidi whipped around, Oh, Mal, you've fallen into his trap. She thought, looking back at her father who looked gleeful of all things.
The dragon roared at him and Hades simply laughed before firing a beam of energy at her.
The goddess knew what this beam was and, frankly, it was one of Hades' newer tricks. Of the few tricks he played, absorbing the magic of another happened at some point during the twenty some odd years.
Heidi supposed the reason behind such a spell had to do with the fact that the barrier he was currently trying to break through was a magic barrier. Maybe he needed some more power?
She shook her head, narrowing her eyes, "Dad, stop this, now!"
He shot her a glare, "You know I don't belong here, you know I have a mission!" He yelled, looking her over before his gaze settled on her necklace.
If I can hit it dead on it'll knock her out. He thought as he looked between both of his daughters, I'll have to make this quick.
In a split second decision, he stopped firing the beam at Mal and held his ember at Heidi. Heidi looked outright confused at this and didn't realize what he was doing until seconds before, "Wait, dad, no-!"
Then he shot a perfectly aimed bullet of energy at the necklace and the bullet hit the gem head on. The impact caused the gem to spark a bit until it sent an incredible amount of magic out. Heidi gasped in pain as the foreign magic zapped her, causing her to drop her ember as she closed her eyes at the sensations.
"Heidi!" Carlos exclaimed, rushing to her as she crumpled to the ground unconscious.
Mal looked as shocked as a dragon could, her large expressive eyes widened while her massive mouth was agape. Immediately, she turned her attention on Hades, her eyes turning to slits before roaring at him.
Hades simply laughed, "Bring it on, Mali." He said with a dark grin, pointing his ember at her once again.
Mal roared in reply and attempted to aim a fire blast his way, only to stop when the magic draining energy was focused on her once more. She made this helpless little growl of a roar as she struggled to keep flight.
By now, the younger VKs were already out of the car and were all gazing at the scene in fright. Hadie especially so.
How did dad take Heidi out?! He thought, looking at his unconscious sister while Evie and Carlos tried to awaken her.
"Heidi, you've gotta wake up." Evie murmured as she tried several tricks to wake the goddess.
Carlos shook his head, "This isn't working!"
Jay heard them and looked up at Mal, "Come on, Mal, blast him!" He shouted to the dragon.
Mal must have heard him as she gathered up what little power she still had and roared at the god. The breath attack caught the god off guard as his eyes widened while he was pushed back by the force.
He held on for a few more seconds before he wasn't able to no longer and was sent tumbling while the barrier finally closed.
Evie and Carlos picked Heidi up while also keeping an eye on Hades, "You got her?" Evie asked him quietly.
"Yeah." He responded, nodding as they walked the unconscious goddess towards the limo.
When Hades finally stopped tumbling, he stood up and glared at them all.
Mal descended and transformed back into a human, landing on the car as Ben and Jay helped her off.
Evie, who was assisting Carlos with putting Heidi in the limo, stopped and walked over to Mal, "Are you okay?" She asked, worried at the state of her friend.
Mal shuddered, her hand to her navel as she panted, "N-No. He was draining all of my magic with the ember and I felt...all of my power slipping away." Her gaze never left Hades', making sure to flare her eyes at him in warning.
Hades scoffed, turning away and departing as the crowd scattered.
Evie looked at the god as well before looking at Mal, "You're safe. He's back where he belongs."
"Yeah, for now." Mal muttered, her breathing still ragged as she turned her attention to Carlos, "Is she okay?" She asked, referring to the unconscious goddess.
Carlos shook his head, "I have no idea. I think she's just unconscious, but I'm not sure." He answered, looking nervous at the idea that Heidi might have been seriously injured.
Mal nodded as Ben and Jay guided her to the limo, "We should go." Jay told her, opening the limo door for her.
Mal took one final look at the Isle before looking at Ben and him, "Okay." She breathed out, her voice shaky as she got into the car.
Hades grumbled and kicked a can across the room as he stalked to his usual chair. His throne as his kids called it.
"Why do my kids always foil my damn plans?!" He yelled, slipping on his sunglasses he put his ember down on its little pillow.
He hadn't been expecting an answer, so when a chuckle sounded from nowhere he froze.
"Because your plans are terrible?" A male asked, sounding amused at Hades' predicament.
Hades head whipped up in time to see none other than Hermes flying above him.
"Hermes!" Hades exclaimed, sitting up in response to seeing the only god besides Hestia who didn't hate him. "What are you doing here?"
Hermes shrugged, "I was watching the show. Not every day you see two gods and a nymph duking it out while one is trying to escape a bubble." He said, smirking at the man, "There is one thing I don't understand, Hades."
Hades narrowed his eyes at the flying god, "What?"
"Why didn't you teleport?" Hermes asked, looking quite confused at the god, "You could have been in Olympus by now."
Hades blanched at the question. Yes, he could teleport...but, admittingly, he had completely forgotten that he had that ability. Hermes doesn't need to know that. He thought as he chuckled, "I was testing my daughter."
"Which one?" Hermes chuckled, folding his arms as he peered at the god. "You get around, man."
Hades scowled at that, "Mal." He resisted the urge to flip off the other god, "I just wanted to see what she could do. See if she got anything from my side." He stated, brushing off his jacket.
"Ah." Hermes said, though one could tell he knew the real reason behind Hades not teleporting. "Besides the whole 'fire thing', I think her mother's genes took over. It's only fitting since Heidi has most of your side." Hermes rubbed his chin, "Oh, well." He rolled his shoulders, "I should be going, Zeus just pinged me."
"That moron can't do anything for himself." Hades muttered, taking a seat as he watched Hermes zip away.
Hmph, I guess I'll just have to wait. Hades thought, folding his arms as he closed his eyes, Something tells me that Mal is gonna be coming back.
