Hey everyone! I'm finally back with another chapter. Enjoy!
purpledolpin05: Thanks. It was a bit difficult figuring out how to add Hadie in because we only saw him in one chapter during Return to the Isle of the Lost, but I think I have worked out his personality now.
Meanwhile, across the Sea of Serenity, a girl with a purple tipped braid and wearing a red and purple jacket was working on her latest masterpiece: a silhouette of Dr. Facilier with the words "Long Live Evil" on it.
Molly:
They say I'm trouble
They say I'm bad
They say I'm evil
And that makes me glad
A boy with dark hair and a red overcoat jumped from the roof of one of the buildings.
Hudson:
A dirty no-good
Down to the bone
Your worst nightmare
Can't take me home
A girl in a blue dress and multicolored buns was strutting across a table as people were eating.
Dizzy:
So I've got some mischief
In my blood
Can you blame me
I never got no love
A boy with blue hair in a black leather jacket stole a read scarf and an apple.
Hadie:
They think I'm callous
A low-life hood
I feel so useless
All:
Misunderstood!
The four villain kids met up in the center of the Isle, where they continued to cause more mischief.
Molly and Dizzy:
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, core
Rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core, core
Who could ask for more?
I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the, I'm rotten to the
I'm rotten to the core
Molly:
Call me a schemer, call me a freak
How can you say that? I'm just unique
Hudson:
What, me? A traitor? Ain't got your back?
Are we not friends? What's up with that?
Dizzy:
So I'm a misfit, so I'm a flirt
I broke your heart, I made you hurt?
Hadie:
The past is past, forgive, forget
The truth is...
All:
You ain't seen nothing yet!
Molly and Dizzy:
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all?
Welcome to my wicked world, wicked world
[Instrumental Bridge]
All:
I'm rotten to the core, core
Rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core, core
Who could ask for more?
I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the, I'm rotten to the
I'm rotten to the core
The four kids laughed triumphantly as Molly stole a lollipop from a toddler in a wagon; however, as the crowd slowly dispersed, Molly heard a familiar voice call her name. "Molly!"
Molly sighed as she turned around, knowing exactly who it was. "Hey dad."
"Stealing candy, ba-Molly?" Facilier asked. "I'm so disappointed."
Molly was confused as to why her dad didn't call her baggage, but she decided to follow along anyway. "It was from a baby."
Facilier smiled. "That's my nasty little girl." Molly was even more confused, until Facilier took the lollipop, spat on it, and threw it at the toddler. Now that was the father she knew. "It's the deets, Molly, that make the difference between mean, and truly evil. Why, when I was your age, I was-"
"Scamming half of New Orleans," Molly said at the same time as her dad. She had heard that story numerous times. "But, why the whole 'evil' speech now? You never cared about me that much before." Which was true. Molly was the least favorite of all of Facilier's children.
"Nevermind that now ba- Molly!" Facilier snapped. "I believe somebody has some news for you." Once he stepped aside, minions appeared. Minions only meant one thing on the Isle: Maleficent. Molly and her friends tried to run away, but four minions appeared, as if out of thin air, and restrained them.
Once the two minions parted, Maleficent stepped forward. "It's true. I've buried the lead! You four have been chosen to go to a new school… in Auradon!" Hadie and Hudson continued to struggle, but Dizzy and Molly remained stationary, not wanting to look too hopeful.
"What?" Molly said. "I'm not going to… some boarding school filled to the brim with prissy… pink… princesses." She hoped she didn't sound too hesitant.
"And perfect princes," Dizzy sighed dreamily before Molly gave her a look. "Ugh." The truth was though, that Molly and Dizzy always dreamed of going to Auradon. It was all they ever talked about. When they were younger, they would even secretly pretend that they were real princesses in Auradon, like on the news. Of course, they couldn't let anyone know this; wanting to go to Auradon was frowned upon on the Isle. A child could even get disowned for even thinking of the idea.
"Yeah, and I don't do uniforms, unless it involves an eye patch," Hudson added. "You feel me?"
"And I'm perfectly happy with the arrangement I already have," Hadie said. Since Hadie's mother, Persephone, lived in Auradon and the Isle, they got shared custody of Hadie. "Stay on the Isle for spring and summer, then in the fall and winter, live in the underworld with mom. A new school could totally mess that up."
"Oh, you're thinking small, kiddies," Maleficent said as she smirked. "It's all about world domination! Knuckleheads!"
As Maleficent started to leave, Facilier turned to the foursome. "Better follow her, or else." Not wanting to get into further trouble, Molly, Dizzy, Hudson, and Hadie followed along.
"You will go, you will find Fairy Godmother, and you will bring back the magic wand," Maleficent instructed. "Easy peasy." They were now in Bargain Castle, aka Maleficent's house, with the rest of their parents. Maleficent's daughter, Mal, was standing in the corner.
"What's in it for us?" Molly asked.
"Matching thrones? Hers and hers crowns?" Maleficent suggested.
"Mom, shouldn't that be-" Mal started to say, but Maleficent held her hand up.
"Not now, Mal," Maleficent said. "You have already been a failure to me." Molly didn't know what Maleficent was talking about, but whatever it was had obviously affected Mal. Her shoulders dropped as she looked towards the ground.
"I think she meant us," Hadie said while motioning to himself, Hudson, and Dizzy, trying to change the subject.
However, Molly had more questions. "And why me? Why not my other sisters?"
Maleficent leaned over her throne. "Well, it's like this-"
"No, no, no," Facilier interrupted. "We agreed that she would be going to Auradon. Nothing was said about telling her the truth."
"Well, we wouldn't be in this situation if somebody had been more careful!" Maleficent retorted.
"It wouldn't have happened if somebody hadn't drank so much!" Facilier argued back.
Molly held up her hands. "Hold on, what are you talking about?"
Maleficent smirked at Facilier before turning back to Molly. "It's simple really. I'm your mother."
Molly's jaw dropped. Maleficent was her mother? That was impossible… She shook her head in disbelief. "No, that can't be true. My so-called mother left me on dad's doorstep…" Then, she put the pieces together as Maleficent continued to smirk. "Which is exactly what you would do."
Maleficent just shrugged. "I already had one daughter. How was I supposed to know she would be a failure?"
"Mom!" Mal exclaimed. Molly momentarily looked at Mal. the expression on her face showed shock, anger, and… jealousy? "How can you be so sure she's your daughter anyways?! There's no way you can keep track of how many men you've hooked up with!"
"And even if it is true, why would I assist you?!" Molly said. "You left me on my father's doorstep when I was a baby! Pick someone else to go!" Maleficent got up from her throne, staring at Molly as her eyes glowed green. Molly just glared at Maleficent, not aware that her eyes were glowing green as well. This staring contest went on for a few seconds, before Molly finally gave in. "Fine, whatever."
"I win," Maleficent singsung.
"Now Hadie, you just show those Auradonians what us gods are made of," Hades said to Hadie.
Hadie nodded. "I will dad."
"And more importantly, GET ME OUT HERE!" Hades yelled.
"Well, Dizzy isn't going," Lady Tremaine said in a cool, collected voice. "I would miss her too much."
Dizzy beamed as she looked at her grandmother. "Really grandmother?"
Lady Tremaine nodded. "Of course, who else would sweep up the salon, wipe the sinks and mirrors, and do her cousins' hair."
Dizzy sighed. "Fine."
"Hudson can't come either," Captain Hook said. "He needs to work on his sword practice."
"Dad, I know how to sword fight just fine!" Hudson protested.
"Maybe so, but we still have to work on your form," Captain Hook retorted.
Molly looked towards her dad. "I'm surprised you're not against this."
Facilier merely shrugged. "I'm just going along. Besides, she owes me a favor for dumping you on my doorstep."
"You're the one who owns me the favor, Facilier!" Maleficent growled. "What is wrong with you people?! People used to cower at the mentions of our names! For twenty years I have searched for a way off of this Isle! For twenty years they have robbed us of our revenge!" Maleficent turned towards Lady Tremaine. "Revenge on Cinderella and her horrible little mice."
"Ow," Lady Tremaine simply muttered.
Maleficent had already made her way to the next villain. "Revenge on Peter Pan and his flying speck of dust!"
"I will-" Hook started to say before Hudson calmed him down.
Maleficent sauntered over to Hades. "Revenge on Hercules and his bloated muscles!"
"I AM A GOD!" Hades yelled.
"Really dad?" Hadie asked.
Maleficent made her way towards her throne. "Revenge against Tiana and her frog husband."
"I would've gotten away with it if-" Facilier started to say before she interrupted him.
"And I, Maleficent, the evilest of them all, will finally have my revenge on Sleeping Beauty and her relentless little prince!" Maleficent exclaimed as her arms spread wide. "Villains! Our revenge begins today!" She started looking around frantically. "My spell book. I need that… The safe! The safe!" She started running towards a small, green refrigerator and yanked on the door. "Tremaine! Help me! I could never figure this thing out…"
Molly could hardly believe her eyes. "Please, I've been in Ursula's restraunt plenty of times to know that-"
Before Molly could finish, she felt a hard grip on her shoulder. She turned her head to see that Mal had suddenly appeared next to her. "Don't even think about saying anything."
Meanwhile, Lady Tremaine got the door open. "Voila."
Maleficent reached into the fridge. "Come my darling." Mal stepped forward, but Maleficent narrowed her eyes at her. "Not you. My other darling."
Molly rolled her eyes as she walked over to Maleficent. "Wow, after abandoning me as a baby all of those years ago, you're still calling me your darling. When I accidentally bumped into you at the market place last week, weren't your exact words 'wretched brat?'"
Maleficent gave Molly a strained smile before handing her the spell book. "Very funny, dear. Now, here it is. It won't work here, but it will in Auradon." Maleficent looked at Facilier. "Remember when we were spreading evil and ruining lives?"
Facilier nodded. "Like it was yesterday."
Maleficent turned back to Molly. "And now you will be making your own memories… by doing exactly as I tell you."
"Great…" Molly said sarcastically.
Meanwhile, Hades was passing his own item down to his son. "Here take this."
Hadie was mildly confused. "You're giving me your ember?"
"Of course, you're my son," Hades said. "After all, it is the only thing stronger than Maleficent's scepter. Just in case she goes nuts on you when this is all over."
"Okay…" Hadie drawled. "Just make sure you start going to therapy again. Remember what happened the last time you got fed up with your life and went mentally insane?"
"SSSHHHHHHHH!" Hades ducked down near Hadie, almost like a mini-huddle. "We do not talk about the real reason about why I did those things to Hercules!"
Hadie sighed. "I think they know that even a god can go mentally insane, and that it lasts longer than it does in humans."
"Still, I'm gonna be the laughing stock of the Isle!" Hades whispered-shouted. "Besides, I've been getting better!"
Hadie slightly rolled his eyes. "Fine, but mom still isn't happy about Meg."
Before Hades could say anything else, Maleficent spoke again. "Your ride to Auradon arrives tomorrow. Be here, or else. The future of the free world rests on your shoulders… don't blow it."
So, we now know who is the junior version of the Cour Four (I still have yet to find a better name): Hadie, son of Hades, Dizzy, daughter of Drizella Tremaine, Hudson, son of Captain Hook, and Molly, daughter of Dr. Facilier and Maleficent. I know Mal may have been a tad OOC in this chapter, but I think we can agree that while post-Descendants Mal would be generally accepting of Molly, pre-Descendants Mal would've been jealous that her mom went and had another kid. And I just realized that I didn't give Dizzy a lot of dialogue in this chapter. Don't worry, she will talk more in later chapters. Anyway, that's all for now! Have a nice day!
