"It's Going Down"

I don't own Descendants!

Halina swung her legs as she kept watch for her former friends. It wasn't long before she spotted Mal's purple hair weaving through the crowd towards Uma's ship.

"They're coming!" She shouted.

Gil stood below her on a platform "Hey, guys!" He sang in a sing-song voice "They're here!"

Gil sung down and Halina's eyes turned to Harry as he pushed Ben towards the plank. Silently, she cast a spell.

"Welcome!" Harry shouted, spreading his arms.

Uma laughed "Finally!" She started to sing

"Huh, let's get this party started I swear I'm cold hearted there's no negotiation I'm not here for debating You need some motivation? Just look at Ben's face then ask yourself how long you think I'll remain patient. I'll throw him overboard and let him swim with killer sharks you either hand over the wand or he'll be ripped apart."

Mal joined in, singing her own song "Let's all just be smart although, for you, that must be hard" Uma laughed "You'll get your wand no one has to come to any harm don't try to intimidate your bark is much worse than your bite who's the baddest of them all? I guess we're finding out tonight."

"Let's go, bring it on" Uma's crew sang making Halina roll her eyes "Better give us what we want it's the wand for the crown if you don't, it's going down."

"Let's go, make your move" Halina's former friends sang "Peace or war, it's up to you give him up and do it now if you don't, it's going down."

"We want the wand, or else the King is gone." The pirates danced, swinging from mast to mast "Your time is running out, you should really watch your mouth."

"Let's go, double down." Mal and her gang pounded their fists into their hands "We're prepared to stand out ground, put your swords up, put 'em up, it's gong down."

"Make the trade!" Uma's crew demanded "Or walk the plank!"

Harry spun Ban around on the plank, making him almost lose his balance, before Halina caught him with a flick of her fingers.

"Make the trade! Or walk the plank!"

Gil leapt down from his perch and bowed to Uma as she walked down the bridge towards the former villains.

Mal spun around "Okay, look, this is not a conversation, it's a do-or-die situation. If you don't give me back the King I'll have no hesitation. I'll serve you right here, and I don't need a reservation. That way your whole 'pirate crew' can have a demonstration, release him now and we can go our separate ways. Unless you wanna deal with me and the VKs."

Uma laughed "So, that's your big speech, huh? An empty ultimatum?"

Harry grinned "All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate him, matter of fact, make one wrong move and I'll debilitate him, and if he even starts to slip I'll eliminate him. All it takes is one wrong look and I'll..."

"Harry!" Halina and Uma shouted, gaining his attention.

"We get it." Uma rolled her eyes "Chill."

Jay tried to step forward but Mal pulled him back as Halina waved her hand and magic sparkles flew from her fingers towards them. They fizzled out before the reached the VKs, though they leaned back in surprise that Halina would use her magic against them.

"Let's go, bring it on. Better give us what we want." The pirates sang "It's the wand for the crown if you don't, it's going down."

"Let's go, make your move. Peace or war, it's up to you. Give him up and do it now if you don't it's going down." The VKs sang back.

"We want the wand or else the King is gone, your time is running out, you should really watch your mouth."

"Let's go, double down, we're prepared to stand our ground. Put your swords up, put 'em up. It's going down."

Carlos passed Mal the wand.

"Hey!" Ben shouted "We don't have to choose. We don't have to light the fuse. Mal, whatever you do, it's gonna be a lose-lose. There's gotta be a better way. Uma, Halina, I promise, I'll give you your chance. You'll have your say."

"Silly King, you give me?" Uma scoffed "You're gonna give me a chance? Well, not a chance!"

"Make the trade, or walk the plank!" The pirates sang as Uma raised her sword "Make the trade, or walk the plank!"

*End of song*

Mal stepped forward and held out the wand. Halina focused on it and sensed no magic from it. Of course she knew they'd try this, but she had hoped the future she'd seen would be wrong. Halina shadow traveled down to stand beside Uma.

"Wait! Don't you think this is a little too easy?" She whispered to the pirate girl.

"You're right, H. Hold up." Uma stopped Mal "It is too easy. Why don't you give it a little test drive? We wanna see it work."

The VKs exchanged nervous glances that didn't go unnoticed by Halina. She also noticed a girl with black hair in Auadonian clothing. They must have decided to bring along backup.

Mal scoffed "You always were quite the drama Queen."

Halina's laugh echoed around the docks. Uma glared at her.

"What? You are a drama queen." Halina smiled, showing all her teeth.

A dog trotted down the bridge towards the ship.

"Oh, and nothing too big, or else Ben is fish bait." Uma threatened.

The pirates laughed as Harry grabbed the back of Ben's jacket and forced him to lean out over the shark infested waters.

"We're dead." Carlos muttered.

Evie leaned in to whisper something to the son of Cruella. Mal looked back and Carlos jerked his head at the dog.

"Uh-oh, better not let your mother find your pet, Carlos." Halina cackled softly.

Mal looked back at the two girls who held her former boyfriend captive "Okay." She walked to the side of the bridge and started to chant "Although it seems absurd, turn your bark into a word." She flailed the wand.

The dog sat there not saying anything. Uma and Halina shared a look.

Mal glanced back at them and quickly said "Talk, dog."

"Does this vest make me look fat?"

The pirates burst into laughter and Uma's eyes widened excitedly. Halina rolled her eyes and stepped back, she knew where this was heading. She felt a sinister smirk cross her face as she grabbed the hilt of her sword.

"Hey, does anyone have some bacon?" The dog asked "Cookies?"

Uma laughed and snarled "Give me the wand!"

"Give me Ben!" Mal growled.

Uma glared at the purple haired witch for a moment "Harry, bring him over."

The pirates jeered and booed.

Gil hurried up to Ben and Harry "And, before you go, uh, tell your mom Gaston says hi. And also tell your dad that my dad wishes he finished off your dad when he had the chance."

Harry forced Ben to his knees in front of Uma.

"Aw." Uma cooed at Mal's face "Cut him loose, Harry."

Harry sighed "I never get to have any fun." He complained.

He sliced Ben's bonds and he and Mal grabbed hands. But Uma placed a hand on Ben's shoulder, holding him back. She stretched out her other hand for the wand and Mal passed it to her. Uma let Ben go and Mal pulled him behind her.

"Ben, go!" She ordered.

"Okay, okay!" Uma shouted as her pirates crowded around her "By the power of the sea, tear it down and set us free!" She shouted.

Nothing happened.

Halina snorted "Idiots."

"No!" Uma broke the fake wand over her knee "You do not get to win every time!"

"Hurry, go!" Mal pushed Ben away.

Jay started pulling swords out of a barrel and Carlos took aim with a slingshot.

"Get 'em!" Uma shouted.

Carlos fired and blue smoke surrounded the pirate crew and Halina. Halina simply waved her hand and rolled her eyes. Carlos fired another shot at the pirates on the mast. As they fell, Halina wiggled her fingers and they slowed before landing on their feet.

"Ben!" Evie shouted, tossing him a sword.

"Go!" Uma shouted as the smoke cleared.

Mal fought against two pirates, tossing one into the sea. Luckily the spell Halina had cast earlier removed all the killer sharks from the waters. Mal sent another pirate flying head over heels behind her. Uma stepped forward to take her on.

"Not so fast." Halina hummed "She's mine."

"Be my guest, H." Uma laughed.

"Oh, sorry, I wasn't talking to you." Halina flicked her fingers and Uma was spun to face her.

Mal was shocked "What?"

"What fun is partnership without a little betrayal?"

Halina and Uma began to fight, swords clashed violently and Halina smiled, laughing wickedly as she and Uma moved back and forth across the deck.

Harry leapt in front of Jay, who was sneaking up to grab Halina from behind "Hello, Jay. Well, well, well."

The two enemies started to fight.

Gil swung across the water on a rope screaming and landed in front of Ben "Hey, Ben."

Mal joined in the fight against Uma and the three girls caught their swords "Hey, did you miss me?" Mal joked.

Suddenly, Halina heard a splash and glanced to see Jay had tossed Harry's hook overboard. She watched as Harry dove from the deck and landed in the water.

"Idiot! He can't swim!" She groaned.

"So, what's it gonna be, H?" Uma sneered "Fight me or save your boyfriend?"

"Firstly, he's not really my boyfriend. It was a ploy to distract you." Halina huffed "Secondly, who says I can't do both?"

She wiggled her fingers and the hook, and a sopping wet Harry, rose from the water. Uma yelled in frustration.

Mal kicked Uma, knocking her down, then stepped on her sword. Uma let go and followed Halina as she vanished and reappeared behind the pirate attacking Ben, knocking him out.

"Uma!" Harry shouted as he clawed his way up a ladder.

Uma stopped her chase and helped him up.

"Jay, take Halina and go start the car!" Carlos shouted.

"I'll meet you guys there!" Evie called.

Jay grabbed Halina's arm as she laughed maniacally "We need to go start the car!" He called.
