A/N: Descendants has always been a property that I wish got darker and less Disney friendly, and because that will obviously never happen, I decided to write this. The idea is a simple "watching the movie" story, however I put my dark twist on it. Hope everyone enjoys!
"Hi there! I'm Mal, daughter of Maleficent and Hades. Where did we last see each other? Oh right, I had just broken down the barrier surrounding the Isle of the Lost. I thought eternal peace was going to be the result, and it might have been, if not for two people. When Audrey was sentenced to prison for her evil schemes, Chad Charming decided to break her out. Upon succeeding, Audrey went back and stole the crown and scepter once again, this time going straight to recruiting the other villains. Together, they awakened the Titan Lord Kronos, and his army of Monsters. War broke out and the gods were killed including my father. This war has lasted a long time. Nearly 25 years. Our story picks up at the very end."
Auradon Prep
The Far Future, 24 years after Audrey was released
Mal stood amongst the burning remains of Auradon Prep, not one part of the castle still stood. Tears flowed down her face, slightly burning as it ran along the open wounds across her face. So many good people died during the war that was almost lost. Belle and Beast were the first to fall, but soon no one was left. The VK's were gone, and even her husband Ben died on the battlefield. Only one other remained.
Uma stood stoically next to Mal, remembering Harry and Gil's face as swords pierced through their chests. All Uma could do was watch in horror, as she saw her friend and boyfriend die. Once Uma recovered from the shock, she wasted no time in returning the favor and slaying the Cyclops who killed them.
A roar from the forest sounded off. Uma looked at Mal, her face filled with horror.
"They found us." Uma said. "I don't know how, but they found us."
"Then this is our last chance." Mal responded, drawing her sword. Her new blade was forged of Celestial Bronze and Stygian Iron. Mortal Steel wouldn't hurt monsters, but these were godly metals. "Auradon has fallen, but the rest of the world remains. We must stop the Titan Lord here and now to protect the rest of the world. Even if it means dying ourselves."
Uma nodded, drawing her sword, and letting Ursla's necklace shine with power. Mal pulled out Hades' Ember and held it into the air.
"This is our last chance." Mal repeated. "This is extremely powerful magic I am about to unleash, and it wouldn't work without the godly blood in my veins."
"Do it." Uma ordered, holding Mal's hand, the Ember's and necklace's power combining.
"Those who fell in battle, defend this castle!" Mal shouted, her eyes glowing green with magic. The corpses around her rose, now fully dressed in battle armor. "They have their army of Monsters, now we have our army of zombies."
Lightning struck the ground, revealing the two remaining Villains stood smirking down at the new heroes. The first was Audrey, the Queen's staff that used to belong to Maleficent glowing with power. Next to her stood the most powerful being in all of the world. His eyes glowed gold, a golden Scythe in his hand. He stood taller than everyone, a black cloak covering all his features other than his eyes. This was Kronos, the Titan of Time, father to the Big Three Olympians.
"Hello Grandfather." Mal's eyes glowed green in anger. He killed her father Hades and Uma's grandfather Poesidon. Once the Gods got involved in the war, the heroes and VK's thought it would be over that day. However, Kronos had been awakened by the Villains.
"Hello there Mal, Uma." Kronos chuckled. "Ready to surrender?"
"Never!' Mal shouted in unison with Uma.
"So disappointing." Audrey chuckled, as the army of monsters exploded from the forest, the Minotaur leading the army.
Purple smoke surrounded Mal as her army of undead charged. Mal, now in her dragon form, went straight for the aerial opponents such as Griffins, Harpies, and even Stymphalian birds. Uma led the undead to attack the Cyclops and the Empousa. Uma herself went into combat with the Minotaur.
Fire erupted over the battlefield, Mal taking out all her opponents in one breath, the remains falling over the armies. Knowing Uma could take the others with the help of her army, Mal turned her attention to the two villains watching the entire thing. Mal's eyes narrowed, charging at the two through the sky.
Kronos smirked as he held up his hand, freezing Mal's dragon form in place. Kronos reversed time around Mal, reverting her back into human form, on the ground in pain.
"You can never defeat me!" Kronos laughs. "Audrey has told me every secret power you have, nothing can surprise me."
The Minotaur's head was thrown at his feet, the battle mainly over. Uma limped over to Mal's side.
"You are right." Uma growled. "You know our powers. However, you haven't faced our powers combined."
Mal's eyes widened, glowing green. She realized what Uma was saying. The two of them have Ichor, the blood of the gods, in their veins. All they needed was a little more and they could easily take the Titan Lord.
Mal's green eyes darkened as the bodies she woke up all dropped back to the ground. Blue energy surrounded her and Uma, coming from the bodies of all the other demigods and gods. The two demigods felt their powers grow immensely, Their blood was completely ichor now. They had the powers of all the gods that Kronos had slain.
"NO!" Kronos shouted, raising his scythe, however Uma, holding the Trident of her Grandfather, blocked his attack. Audrey shot a beam of energy at them, only for Mal to intercept it with one of Zeus's lightning bolts. The energy flew back at Audrey, disintegrating her, causing Maleficent's staff to hit the ground.
"See you later, Kronos." The two smirked as they decapitated the Titan.
"Titan Lord once Imprisoned, Into Prision you shall return." Mal spelled as a golden sarcophagus appeared where Kronos was, and then fell through the earth. "Into Tartaros you shall remain."
"We did it." Uma smiled. "We won."
"But at what cost?" Mal shook her head. "We may be gods now, but no one is left to have been saved."
"Maybe not." Uma frowned, before pointing to the Scythe of Kronos. "But who says we can't prevent this future?"
Auradon Prep
2015
Ben, son of Belle and Beast, saw his girlfriend being swarmed by Queen Leah. Knowing Audrey, she was doing nothing to calm her grandma down.
"Queen Leah, it's okay!" Ben interrupted. "Maleficent is still trapped on the island. This is her daughter Mal."
Mal looked over and sighed in relief. She wouldn't be able to control herself if Leah had continued. That is the woman who invited everyone but her mom to the christening of Aurora. She held a deep resentment for her.
All of a sudden, thunder clapped across the clear skies. Two figures appeared, both covered in cloaks, their eyes golden. One held the Trident of Poesidon, and the other carried the Scythe of Kronos and wore the Helm of Hades.
"Attention Auradon!" The first figure stated. Her voice was calm and quiet, however everyone heard her. "We are here from the future to stop Evil from destroying all that is good."
"Who are you?" Beast growled.
"That information is irrelevant." The second figure spoke. "We are simply here to put you on the right track away from evil. We will leave you with three movies that show the past, present, and future."
"These films will show you why you need to trust those descended from your villains." The first spoke.
"If evil takes over, how can we trust them?" Leah shouted in anger, as the second figure turned to her, eyes glowing green over the gold.
"Silence." She spoke. "The only reason we can change the future is because of the VK's. You need their help."
"We will teleport those required to a seperate area with a time freeze. That way no time passes while these films are being watched. There will also be a magic dampening spell."
"Once everyone is introduced, the movies will be sent to you. Not everyone that will be there is here, but they will also know what they are doing."
"Good Luck Auradon. If everything goes as planned, we will no longer exist when you are done." The two figures held hands and chanted something under their breath. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light and everyone got knocked unconscious.
Hades's Palace
Underworld
As one, everyone awoke. Getting to their feet, everyone looked around and decided to start introducing themselves like the two figures said to.
"How about all the kids from the Isle of the Lost go first." King Beast stated.
"I guess I'll go first." Mal spoke up. "I am Mal, daughter of Maleficent."
"Evie." Evie spoke in her flirty tone. "Evil Queen's daughter."
"I'm Carlos!" Carlos grinned. "Son of Cruella."
"Jay." Jay smirked. "Son of Jafar."
"Uma, daughter of Ursla." Uma growled, glaring at Mal.
"Shrimpy!?" Mal laughed. "It's been quite a long time."
"Don't call her that!" Harry Hook smashed his hook into the wall. "I'm Harry, son of Captain Hook."
"And I am Gil!" Gil grinned. "Son of Gaston."
Belle looked at Gil in shock. "That man had a kid, and he didn't name him after himself? I am shocked."
"Oh he did." Gil nodded. "I'm the youngest, but my brothers are Gaston Jr and Gaston the Third."
"That sounds more like him." Beast chuckles. "Well as everyone knows, I am King Beast, and this is my wife Queen Belle."
"I am their son." Ben stood up proudly. "Prince Ben."
"I am Aurora." The princess spoke up, smiling at her daughter. "This is my husband Phillip, my mother Leah, and my daughter Audrey."
"I am Chad Charming." Chad grinned proudly. "Son of Cinderella."
"I am the Fairy Godmother." The Fairy godmother spoke. "And this is my daughter Jane."
"My name is Lonnie." Lonnie stood. "Mulan's kid."
"And finally, I am Doug, son of Dopey." Doug smiled, blushing as Evie blew him a kiss.
Everyone sat down, Leah, Audrey, and Chad staring at the VK's suspiciously. All of a sudden, a pillar of fire erupted from the ground, and Hades walked into the area.
"Welcome to my palace." He grinned. "Luckily your two future guests have made me happy, so I will be joining you here."
Mal's face grew horrified, but only Evie noticed. The two met eyes and put fingers on their lips. Hades made the same motion. No one would know Hades was Mal's father.
"Let us begin!" Hades grinned as everyone sat down. The TV turned on, and the movie began.
