The look of terror on the king's face was worth all the preparation and stress of their plan. Uma had worried how it would go down since only she and mal knew it and it was a little rocky for a second there, but mal pulled it off beautify, the king falling for their trap hook, line, and sinker.

Mal's crew along with Uma's continued to react to everything they had just learned. Uma didn't know if it was still a reaction to what the king had done or to her kissing mal, but she didn't really care at the moment, her arm around Mal and Ben tied up at their feet.

"Can I fuck him up now?" Uma looked hopefully at Mal, reminding her a little bit of a kid on Christmas.

"I would refrain." The fairy replied as she pointed to the isle gate. Uma squinted at it and saw it was open with many royal guards and another royal limo coming in through it. Uma raised an eyebrow at Mal, asking a silent question of their safety with those guards. Mal simply smiled in return for Uma's concern, making the pirate smile in return.

The two girls stood, waiting for the royal guards to reach them. Uma's crew gathered closer to Ben, seemingly expecting a fight for the king, while Mal's gang and Lonnie drifted closer to their leader, still not trusting Uma and hoping for a shot at Ben.

The guards approached the dock and got into a familiar formation. One that was meant to guard royals. All the Vks quickly straightened out and watched with wide eyes as queen Belle and king beast got out of the limo and made their way over to the docks.

"Mom! Dad" Ben cried out before Harry gagged him again, maybe a little more aggressively than the last time.

The king and queen didn't even spare their son a glance, keeping their eyes fixed on the Vks standing in front of him. As the pair got close, Uma moved so she was slightly in front of Mal, sword raised, growling lowly, looking every bit like the savage pirate the people on the isle called her.

Taking the pirate captain's hint, the royals stopped a respectable distance away and rolled out an official scroll that queen Belle began to read from. "Lady Mal," Mal made a confused face at the royal continuing to use her title. "We would like to formally apologize for what we allowed to happen to you in Auridon."

"Hmmp. HMMP" came the muffled protests of the gagged king. Protests that everyone ignored.

"As such we would like to offer you a permanent residency in any place of your choosing along with the resources to pursue whatever you wish, free from the threat of being sent back to the isle of the lost. We are deeply sorry for what had transpired, and we would like to make this right." Queen Belle finished her little speech with a sad smile directed toward Mal, who frowned in response.

The queen seemed to pick up on the fairy's hesitation as she then turned to Ben and continued to read. "As for the perpetrator of these crimes against Lady Mal, the former King Benjamin will be sentenced to life on the isle of the lost with all the other villains." Ben's eyes widened and he tried to protest, but couldn't manage to spit out the new gag, nor could he squirm away from Harry.

"No." everyone froze at the single work spoken by Mal, strong and loud. The fairy laid a hand on Uma's shoulder, giving her a gentle look, and moving in front of the royals. "I'm not going back. Not with out them." Mal looked over her shoulder at Uma and her crew. "After all, I have a promise to keep." The sea witch and the fairy share a look.

"Absolutely. We can make that happen immediately." King beast cut in. "We will get any villain children who wish to leave the chance. Effective immediately." All the VKs stared in shock and awe at the old king and queen negotiating with a villain. Negotiating for their freedom.

Mal turned and motioned to Uma for her to step forward. "What do you think?" Mal asked. Uma simply gave a minuscule nod in return, agreeing.

Mal tuned back to the king and queen. "I accept."

Ben's muffled protests got louder, causing Uma to look at Mal, her eyebrow raised in a silent question, which Mal answered with a nod. The pirate captain stalked over to the tied-up boy, pulling the gag from his mouth before swiftly punching him in the face.

"How dare you?!" Ben cried out "I am the king! And you WILL treat me with the respect I deserve!"

"Okay." Uma turned to look at Mal's gang. "Evie?" she motioned for the other blue haired girl to take she shot of the former king.

"With pleasure." Evie practically purred, sauntering over to Ben. "You hurt my best friend for MONTHS!" the king and queen flinched at the pure venom lacing the isle girl's voice. "Now, you get to know how if feel to be on the other side of a beating." The Vk then smashed her foot into Ben's face, finally knocking him out.

Evie walked back over to her friends. "That felt good." the girl said, earning a chuckle from her crew.

Queen Belle took a few hesitant steps toward Mal, stopping when Uma threw an arm around the girl's shoulders and shooting the queen a glare that would kill a lesser woman. "Mal I want you to know that we truly are sorry. We had no idea Ben was even capable of doing anything like that. We hope you can forgive us."

Mal shrugged, "He had a good mask. He even fooled me for a while." If Uma's arm tightened around Mal's shoulder, then nether of them mentioned it.

"Regardless, my husband and I are going to take over the leadership of Auridon again and do some digging to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else." Mal nodded her appreciation, but the queen was not done. "However, now that Ben is… unfit to rule, we will need to set up a new heir. I was thinking that after this… situation, the kingdom could use a break from being ruled by a king and instead it could be ruled by a couple of queens." Both Girls mouths fell open at Belle's words, not knowing what to make of the offer.

"It wouldn't be for quite a while, so feel free to think the offer over." The queen stuttered out hoping to not overwhelm the girls. "You earned your title Mal. Never let anyone else tell you otherwise." The queen told Mal sincerely before making her way back over to her husband and their limo.

Mal turned to Uma and her gang. "You guys ready?" all the Vks let out an evil smile, proptine their leader to do so as well. "Auridon won't know what hit them."

Epilogue

All the villain kids were transferred off the isle of the lost and into a boarding school set up through Auridon high and most became decent members of Auridon society, if still a little rotten.

Uma and Mal officially started dating after they arrived in Auridon and decided to make the most of the queen's offer to rule the kingdom together. They have brough all the kingdoms under their watch peace, both as just rulers but also as the first line of defense against new villains. Reports often came up all over the kingdom of a purple dragon and sea witch fighting back any new and old villains, but also taking to duking it out with each other from time to time. many of the Queens' royal advisors say that "they are just continuing their old turf war" so none of the kingdom's citizens get too concerned about it.

The two queens also created a rehabilitation program for minor villains so quite a few of the sidekicks, minions, and minor villains were able to finally leave the isle of the lost and make a new home in Auridon to do with as they pleased

Ben's sentence of life on the isle stood as he never qualified for rehabilitation. And if, withing the first week or two on the isle, someone showed up to the former king's run-down shack and beat him with fiery fists that left scorch marks both in the boy's house and on his skin, then the guards sent to patrol the isle didn't think it was important enough to report.

And so, everyone got their fairytale ending after all.

Except for Ben. Fuck that guy.

AN: that is the end of the story. I might post a couple alternate ending here or there as requested (you can request one in the comments if you like), but this is it. thanks for reading all the way to the end if you made it. Now go home.
