A/N: I do not own Descendants, and I do not own any dialogue from the movie.
Mal [Voiceover]: Once upon a time, long, long ago... well, more like 20 years ago... Belle married her Beast in front of 6,000 of their closest personal friends. Big cake. Yeah, so instead of a honeymoon…
"You guys didn't have a honeymoon?" Ben questioned.
"After Auradon was formed and everything was settled we did." Beast explained.
"He took me on a tour of all of the kingdoms." Belle grinned. "That's where we came up with the idea for Auradon Prep, seeing every kingdom schooling kids in their own way."
Mal: Beast united all of the kingdoms and got himself elected king of the United States of Auradon. He rounded up all the villains and sidekicks... basically all the really interesting people... and he booted them off to the isle of the lost with a magical barrier to keep them there. This is my hood. No magic. No wi-fi.
"No Wi-Fi?" Chad gasped in shock, making the VK's roll their eyes. "How does anyone survive like that?"
Mal: No way out. Or so I thought. Hang on, you're about to meet us. But first this happened.
AURADON
*Ben stands on a platform, getting fitted for a suit and crown. His parents, Beast and Belle, walk in.*
"I hate that." Chad frowned. "The suitors don't understand how hard it is to stand still."
Man: Sleeve. Head. Ah-ha!
Beast: How is it possible that you're going to be crowned king next month? You're just a baby!
"No offense Ben." Mal stated. "But 16 really does seem young to be king. I would have thought you would at least have to be 18."
"None taken." Ben shrugged. "I never really questioned it."
Belle: He's turning 16, dear.
Ben: Hey, Pops.
Beast: 16? That's far too young to be crowned king. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least 42.
"Wait, didn't you marry Belle at 28?" Aurora giggled, causing Phillip to sigh. He had also said something similar, however instead of giggling, Aurora made him sleep on the couch for a week.
Belle: Uh, you decided to marry me at 28.
Beast: Ah, it was either you or a teapot. (Ben laughs) Kidding.
Uma stifled a chuckle before her face morphed back into her scowl.
Ben (Moving forward): Mom, Dad.
Man (annoyed at Ben for moving): Ah! Nn-nnh!
Ben: I've chosen my first official proclamation. I've decided that the children on the isle of the lost be given a chance to live here in Auradon. (Beast and Belle shocked) Every time I look out to the island, I feel like they've been abandoned.
Jay shouldered Mal, and gave her a look. Mal sighed and turned to Ben.
"Thank you Ben for giving us this chance." Mal smiled slightly. "If it wasn't for you, we'd still be trapped on that island."
"Here, Here." Evie, Carlos, and Jay agreed.
Beast: The children of our sworn enemies, living among us?
Ben: We start out with a few at first, only the ones who need our help the most. I've already chosen them.
"I was wondering how you chose." Evie commented. "I guess that makes sense. It definitely worked out though. If Mal and Uma had been chosen, they'd both have been dead by the time the limo got to the school."
"Why do you two have bad blood?" Doug cocked his head, questioning.
"SHE left me to drown!" Mal spit out in anger as Uma shouted that Mal poured shrimp on her head.
"You two are mortal enemies because of pranks?" Audrey chuckled in disbelief. These villains were pathetic.
"My hair still smells like shrimp." Uma shivers.
"You couldn't wash it out?" Jane asked.
"We have no clean water." Carlos frowned. "We have to filter drinking water ourselves, and we don't have soap to wash up."
"What about our aid packages?" Aurora asked. "I thought Beast had arranged for weekly deliveries to be sent so the children wouldn't die!"
"I have been, every week." Beast frowned. "I have to check up on that."
Beast: Have you?
Belle: I gave you a second chance. Who are their parents?
Ben: Cruella De Vil... Jafar... Evil Queen... and Maleficent. (Everyone shocked)
Beast: Maleficent! She is the worst villain in the land!
"Why thank you, King Beast!" Mal smirked. "I'll pass the message along."
Ben: Dad, just hear me out!
Beast: I won't hear of it! They are guilty of unspeakable crimes!
Ben: Dad, their children are innocent. Don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life? Dad?
"Not at all." Chad grumbled, only for Lonnie to shoot him a look of anger.
Beast: I suppose the children are innocent.
Belle (To Ben): Well. Well done. Shall we?
ISLE OF THE LOST
*The four VK's go through the streets, causing mischief*
Mal: They say I'm trouble
They say I'm bad
They say I'm evil
And that makes me glad
"Not anymore." Mal smiled. "I like being good."
Evie shoots a look her way, but Mal purposefully ignores it. She didn't want to think of stealing the wand right now, especially since everyone else was about to find out.
Jay: A dirty no good
Down to the bone
Your worst nightmare
Can't take me home
Evie: So I got some mischief
In my blood
Can you blame me?
I never got no love
Carlos: They think I'm callous
A lowlife hood
I feel so useless
Misunderstood
Mal and Evie: Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all?
Welcome to my wicked world
Wicked world
"The daughter of the Evil Queen singing a song with the words "Mirror, Mirror." in it." Doug grins. "That is not surprising at all."
All: I'm rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core
Who could ask for more?
I'm nothing like a kid next
Like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the...
I'm rotten to the...
I'm rotten to the core
Mal: Call me a schemer
Call me a freak
How can you say that?
I'm just unique
Jay: What, me a traitor?
Ain´t got your back
Are we not friends?
What´s up with that?
Evie: So I'm a misfit
So I'm a flirt
I broke your heart
I made you hurt
Chad rolled his eyes. It was his choice to end things with Evie, she had outlived her usefulness after she screwed up his homework. He was with Audrey now, and happier.
Carlos: The past is past
Forgive, forget
The truth is
You ain't seen nothing yet
Mal and Evie: Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all?
Welcome to my wicked world
Wicked world
All: I'm rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core
Who could ask for more?
I'm nothing like a kid next
Like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the...
I'm rotten to the...
I'm rotten to the core
"Do you guys practice that?" Fairy Godmother asks wide eyed. "There is no way that routine was on the spot."
"We did it occasionally." Carlos answered.
"It was our way of letting everyone else know that we were coming." Mal followed up. "A way of saying to get out of our way."
Villagers: (laugh)
Mal: (steals the baby's lollipop, which Maleficent arrives behind the people, scaring away all villagers) Hi mom.
Aurora, Leah, and Phillip shivered. The 3 looked upon their arch nemesis in fear and anger. This was the monster that stole Aurora and cursed her. This was the monster that Phillip had to fight as a dragon.
Maleficent: Stealing candy, Mal? So disappointed.
Mal: It was from a baby!
Maleficent: That's my nasty little girl. (Mal gives Maleficent the lollipop and she spits it and puts it under her underarm) Give it back to the dreadful creature.
"EW!" Audrey gagged. "Now that has an armpit stink on it."
"You don't say no to my mother." Mal states.
Mal: Mom!
Maleficent: It's the deeds, Mal, that make the difference between mean and truly evil. When I was your age, I was cursing entire kingdoms. (Mal: "Cursing entire kingdoms.")
"I've heard that speech a hundred times." Mal sighes.
"All of our parents tell us stuff like that." Harry nodded at the VK's. "My father tells me that I need to be Captain even though I am happy as Uma's first mate."
Maleficent: You. Walk with me. See, I'm just, just trying to teach you the thing that really counts... how to be me.
Mal: I know that. And I'll do better.
Maleficent: Oh! There's news! I buried the lede. You four have been chosen to go to a different school... In Auradon. (Carlos, Jay, & Evie tried to run away, but Maleficent's minions stops them)
Mal: What? I'm not going to some boarding school filled to the brim with prissy pink princesses!
"We are not!" Audrey gasps in horror.
"You are literally wearing pink right now." Lonnie points out.
Evie: And perfect princes. (Mal looks at her) Ugh.
"Although I happen to think I know someone more perfect than any prince." Evie whispered to Doug, who blushed.
Jay: Yeah, and I don't do uniforms. Unless It's leather. You feel me? (About to high five Carlos)
Carlos: I read somewhere that they allow dogs in Auradon. Mom said they're rabid pack animals who eat boys who don't behave. (Jay sneaks behind him)
"I know different now!" Carlos defends at the horrified looks he was getting.
Jay: Woof! (Carlos hits Jay for scaring him)
Mal: Yeah Mom, we aren't going!
Maleficent: Oh, you're thinking small, pumpkin. It's all about world domination. KNUCKLEHEADS! (The knuckleheads followed her) (singsong) Mal... (The kids followed Maleficent)
MALEFICENT'S HOME
Maleficent: You will go. You will find fairy godmother and you will bring back the magic wand. Easy peasy.
Gasps were heard from every corner of the room. Accusations were thrown out by Audrey and Leah, defenses were put up by Ben and Doug, and others just sat quiet.
"LISTEN!" Mal shouted, her voice louder than all the others. "Do you really think our parents, who are evil beyond imagination, would let us go here without a scheme?"
"Mal is right." Fairy Godmother nodded. "We put my wand, along with other magic artifacts under special lockdown as we knew they would try something."
"You did?" Evie gasped. "Then why let us into Auradon?"
"Because you deserve better." Ben explained. "We can't force you to be good, you have to choose it."
Mal: What's in it for us?
Maleficent: Matching thrones. Hers-and-hers crowns.
Carlos: Um, I... I think she meant us.
Maleficent: It's all about you and me, baby. Do you enjoy watching innocent people suffer?
"Not really." Mal grinned, happy to finally be able to answer the question honestly. She had to put on an act in front of her mom. Sure, on the island Mal was evil, but that doesn't mean she was as evil as her mom.
Mal: Well yeah, I mean who doesn't?
Maleficent: Well, then get me the wand and you and I can see all that and so much more. And with that wand and my scepter, I will be able to bond both good and evil to my will!
Evil Queen: Our will!
Maleficent: Our will, our will. (snaps, which makes Mal looks back to Maleficent) And if you refuse, you're grounded for the rest of your lives, missy
Mal: What...mom... (Maleficent pretends squishing Mal's lips to make her stop complaining and they stared at each other, which makes their eyes turn green like a staring contest and Maleficent beats Mal) Fine. Whatever
"What was that?" Harry questioned to Gil, who shrugged cluelessly.
Maleficent: I win.
Evil Queen: Evie my little evil-lette in training. You just find yourself a prince with a big castle and a mother-in-law wing.
Evie and Evil Queen: And lots and lots of mirrors!
Evie: (Laughs in joy)
Evil Queen: No laughing. Wrinkles!
"She's just a kid!" Aurora shouted in anger at the screen. "She's not going to get wrinkles!"
Cruella: Oh, well, they're not taking my Carlos, because I'd miss him too much.
Carlos: Really, mom?
Cruella: Yes. Who would touch up my roots, fluff my fur, and scrape the bunions off my feet?
Growls were heard from across the room. Mal's eyes glowed green in anger, as Hades smiled in pride as he could feel Mal's power through her anger.
Carlos: Yeah, maybe a new school wouldn't be the worst thing.
Cruella: Oh, Carlos, they have dogs in Auradon.
Carlos: Oh no, I'm not going!
Maleficent: (Grunts)
Jafar (Looking through the items Jay stole): Well, Jay isn't going either. I need him to stock the shelves in my store. What did you score? Oh. Ooh. A lamp.
Jay: Dad, I already tried.
Jafar (dropping the lamp in disgust): Ah!
"He's still hoping for a genie?" Belle laughed. "There is no way a genie would be on that island, much less in a lamp."
Evil Queen: Evie's not going anywhere until we get rid of this unibrow, hmm?
Maleficent: What is wrong with you all? People used to cower at the mention of our names! For 20 years, I have searched for a way off this island. For 20 years, they have robbed us from our revenge... revenge on Snow White and her horrible little men.
Evil Queen: Ow!
Doug frowned. He grew up with tails of the Evil Queen. If she was to escape, he would now be on her target list. Hopefully Evie could talk her mom down if need be.
Maleficent: Revenge on Aladdin and his bloated genie!
Jafar: I will…!
Jay: Pops.
Maleficent: Revenge on every sneaky dalmatian that escaped your clutches.
Cruella: Oh, but they didn't get baby. They didn't get the... They didn't get the baby!
"That's… stuffed?" Audrey noticed, confused.
"Try telling my mom that." Carlos sighed.
Maleficent: And I, Maleficent...The evilest of them all, I will finally have my revenge on sleeping beauty and her relentless little prince. Villains!
Audrey's eyes widened in fear. The best and easiest way to get revenge on her mom would be through her. Could Mal be secretly working for Maleficent to kidnap her? It seems that Leah came to the same conclusion as she glared harder at Mal.
Evil Queen: Yes?
Jafar: Yes?
Maleficent: Our day has come. E.Q., give her the magic mirror.
Evil Queen (Pulls out a small mirror from her pockets and hands it to Evie): Yeah
Evie: This is your magic mirror?
"I thought it would be bigger." Chad frowned.
"So did I." Doug nodded.
E.Q.: Yeah, well, it ain't what it used to be, but then again, neither are we! It will help you find things.
Evie: Like a Prince?
E.Q. Like my waistline.
Maleficent: Like the magic wand! Hello!
E.Q.: Hello!
"Are they… okay?" Ben frowned.
"Well they definitely aren't sane." Hades chuckled. "That's one of the reasons I…"
Hades was about to say why he left her, but Mal's glare silenced him."
Maleficent: My spell book. My book. I need my... that book. Oh, ah! (Turns to a fridge, struggles to open it) The safe. The safe. Queen, help me! I never can figure this thing out.
"A fridge." Ben sighed. "That's a fridge."
"Yup." Jay laughed.
E.Q. (Pulls the fridge open with ease): Voila!
Maleficent: My spell... Come, darling. Come. Oh... ooh! Oh, Oh. There she is. It doesn't work here, but it will in Auradon. Remember? When we were spreading evil and ruining lives.
"I thought we took that!" Belle gasped, and Fairy Godmother frowned. The book grew heavier in Mal's pockets, knowing how everyone would react when they saw how she used it.
E.Q.: Like it was yesterday.
Maleficent (passing book to Mal): And now you will be making your own memories by doing exactly as I tell you. (Turning to the others as a car honks below) Door.
Evil Queen: Oh.
Jay: Whoo! Let's get this party started!
Cruella: Carlos! Come.
Evil Queen: Who is the fairest of them all?
Evie: Me.
Evil Queen: Ah!
Evie: You.
E.Q.: Yes! Let's go.
"She looks so fake." Leah scoffed. "How is that beauty?"
"For once I agree with you." Mal sighed.
Jafar: Now, recite our mantra.
Jay: There's no team in "I".
"That is not the saying." Jane laughed.
Jafar: Oh, run along. You're making me tear up.
Jay: My bag.
Jafar (Picking up random items to steal): Yeah.
Jay Dad!
Jafar: Coming!
"Is that safe?" Chad noticed. "Stealing from Maleficent."
"My mom wouldn't notice." Mal chuckled. He stole things every visit and yet she never even realized."
Maleficent: The future of the free world rests on your shoulders. Don't blow it. Mal!
ISLE STREETS
Evil Queen: Ah! Smells like common folk.
Cruella (Chasing Carlos, who dives into the limo) : Come back here, now! Carlos! Ingrate.
Jafar: Bye-bye.
Man/Limo Driver (Speaking into walkie talkie): The jackals have landed.
"Who insisted on that being the code?" Belle frowned. "That is pretty rude."
Jafar: Bring home the gold!
Cruella: Bring home a puppy.
Evil Queen: Bring home a prince.
Evie (In Limo, to Mal): You're looking a little washed out. Let me help you out.
Mal: Ew, stop. I'm plotting.
Evie: Well, It's not very attractive.
"I disagree." Ben flirted, causing Mal to blush deep.
Carlos (Eating a non brand peanut butter cup): Oh! These! It's salty like nuts, but it's sweet like I don't know what.
Jay: Let me see. (Carlos opens his mouth, Jay hits him) Ew!
"Boys." Lonnie sighed in disbelief.
Carlos: Ow!
Evie (Seeing the limo driving to the water): Look!
Carlos: It's a trap! (The Magic barrier opens, and a magic bridge forms under the car) What just happened?
"Why would he just drive you off a cliff for no reason?" Beast asked curiously.
"It could have been our parents for all we know." Evie explained. "It would be right up their alley."
Evie: It must be magic.
Mal (To Driver, waving a silver button she found): Hey. Did this little button just open up the magic barrier?
Man: No, this one opens the magic barrier. (Holds up a second remote) That one opens my garage. And this button…(Rolls up Barrier between passenger and driver)
Mal: Okay. Nasty. I like that guy.
"I will have a talk with him." Belle growled. "To treat you like that…"
"It's okay Queen Belle!" Mal grinned. "He actually made me laugh. I expected everyone in Auradon to be super, overly nice."
