Over at Ben's castle, Adam and Belle were pacing back and forth as the spirits of Leia and Padme watched over Ben's body. Leia suddenly gasped as Belle heard it and asked, "What is it?" Leia looked over at Padme and asked, "Did you feel a shift in the Force?" "I did," Padme said. "She's reawakened." "Who?" Adam asked. Leia turned to Adam and said, "The other half of the dyad."

The VKs, Dude, and Chewbacca were still in Agathe's secret realm when the Force spirits of Luke, Han, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda appeared there and Luke said, "Welcome back, Rey." "Master Luke," Mal said. "It is great to see you again. And you, Han. Thank you all for helping Ben." "The pleasure is ours," Obi-Wan said. "But right now," Yoda said. "Auradon is our biggest concern." "He's right," Anakin said. "We need to stop Palpatine. We need to come up with a plan." "There is a place we can go," Agathe said, looking at Mal, who realized what Agathe meant. "Right," Mal said as she pulled out her Kyber crystal and focused on summoning the door to Ben's secret room. The door appeared and everyone in the room went through it.

C-3PO and R2-D2 were waiting inside and C-3PO walked forward and said, "Mistress Mal. It is good to see that you are safe." But Mal surprised C-3PO by walking up to the gold robot and hugging him saying, "I missed you, 3PO." Mal pulled away as C-3PO was confused for a second, then realized, "Mistress Rey! It's really you. Welcome back." R2-D2 beeped a few times in excitement as Mal giggled and said, "It's nice to see you to, R2-D2."

Mal then thought for a moment and said, "Ben told me once that he can summon anything to this room that he can think of. Maybe that can work for me now." She closed her eyes for a few moments. Suddenly everyone heard a beeping noise and they turned to see a little white and orange ball robot wheel through the room towards Mal, who opened her eyes and shouted, "BB-8!" She kneeled down to the robot, who beeped in excitement. Poe's spirit came out of Mal and said, "Good to see you, BB-8. I missed you, buddy." The spirits of Finn, Rose, and Maz also came out as Luke stepped forward and said, "As much as this is touching, we have to refocus here."

"Right," Mal said standing up. She walked over to the computers as the VKs followed her. Mal typed into the computer and got camera footage of different places in Auradon. "The guards have already started to round up people from the Isle," Uma noticed. "We need to free them." "Look at the guards at Ben's castle," Jay pointed out. "They look much more militaristic." "Like Stormtroopers," Mal commented. "Wait," Carlos said as he walked up to the computers and did some typing. "The computers are picking up something from the forest. Like something is growing underground." After some typing, the computers showed that several giant Destroyers were magically growing underground, along with clones. "He's making a new armada," Mal realized. "Through magic." "But how?" Evie asked. "He's been absorbing energy from both Uma and Audrey," Mal answered. "Which means he also absorbed magic from this world and combined it with his Force powers. He can create an armada over night. And it looks like he's growing another clone army as well. I bet that he is planning to unleash it tomorrow after Audrey's coronation and wedding."

"Tomorrow?" Harry asked. "Then we have to stop him now!" "OK," Mal said turning to everyone in the room. "If we are going to tackle all that Palpatine is throwing at us, then we need to split up. Uma, you and your crew will be in charge of rounding up those that were forced back to the Isle. I'll destroy the barrier using my dad's ember then you all will rally the VKs and villains to charge Ben's castle. And Uma, I may need your magic later on if that armada is released. Carlos and Jay, you two are going to sneak into the museum and borrow a few items: Evie's mirror and King Triton's trident. Meet Uma's crew at the water's edge and give her the trident. Then you two will meet Evie at Ben's castle and you all are going to sneak into Ben's castle. Evie will be the eyes and ears thanks to the mirror. Carlos, you are going to make a device that will latch onto Ben's Force cuffs and free him. And Jay, you are going to get Fairy Godmother's wand off of her. Dude, you will go with them and you are going to sneak in and find Hades." "What?" Dude shouted. "Why me?" Mal pulled out the ember and said, "I am going to give this to Agathe who will then give this to you after I destroy the barrier and you are going to sneak into the dungeons and give this back to my dad."

"Mal," Agathe said stepping forward. "Are you thinking what I am thinking about what you want Hades to do?" Mal nodded as Agathe continued, "While Evie, Carlos, and Jay sneak into the throne room, I can magically sneak to where Ben's body is being hidden and start the merging process once his spirit has been freed of those cuffs." Mal nodded and she walked over to all of the Force spirits and said, "Finn, Poe, Rose, and Maz, if Palpatine's armada is unleashed, then we are going to need some firepower to take that armada down." "Can you make ships out of thin air like Palpatine can?" Finn asked. Mal smirked as she pointed to the Millennium Falcon on the other side of the room. "Han and Chewie will fly that and I can cover the rest for you all. Uma will magically assist you from the ground." "Man," Poe said. "It will be good to fly a ship again." Han walked over and said, "I'm just happy that Chewie and I will fly the Falcon again." Chewbacca roared in agreement.

Mal walked over to the other Force spirits and said, "You four will hide near Ben's castle and keep an eye on the guards. No lightsabers on them. They are under mind control and I don't want any of them hurt." "Agreed," Obi-Wan said. "But if this clone army Palpatine is growing along with the armada," Yoda said. "Then action we must take." "I agree," Anakin said. "We'll take down his new clone army if they pop up." "What are you going to do Mal?" Luke asked. Mal smirked as her eyes glowed green and said, "It's time to let this dragon loose."

"But." Mal turned and saw Uma step forward. "Don't you have all those Force powers like Ben does now?" "I do," Mal said. "But I don't want Palpatine sensing me too early. Only when I confront him face to face will I do so. But now that you mention it, there is something that I need to do." "What's that?" Celia asked. Mal pulled out her Kyber Crystal and said, "I need to make a lightsaber."

Mal sat down in a meditative position and closed her eyes. Suddenly pieces of metal from around the room floated towards her, shocking the VKs. Mal started to float in the air as well. The pieces of metal formed around the crystal until a lightsaber was made. Mal floated back down to the ground and opened her eyes. She picked up the lightsaber and ignited it. A purple beam came out and Mal smiled. "Interesting," Mal said. "The one I had in my previous life was yellow." "It's because you have balance now," Luke said. "Balance of light and dark," Yoda added. "It shows that you and Ben are the dyad again," Anakin said. "Now you are ready," Obi-Wan said. Mal smirked and said, "Let's prepare. For tomorrow, we are going to take back Auradon!"

The VKs and Force spirits along with Agathe, Chewbacca, and Dude stayed up all night in the secret room. Mal was on edge as she hated the fact that Ben was sitting in a dungeon, probably in pain, but everyone helped keep her at ease.

Morning dawned as Auradon faced another day of Palpatine's reign. All of the villains and VKs had been gathered up the day before, thrown back onto the Isle of the Lost, and Fairy Godmother put the barrier back up. Preparations were almost complete for the wedding and Audrey's coronation. Chad, or rather Palpatine in Chad's body, strode through the castle and walked out into the gardens. He placed his hand on the ground and said, "My armada is nearly complete along with my army. After I wed and crown Audrey, I will unveil them and start the process of reclaiming the galaxy."

Solo was sitting in his cell next to Hades as he looked out the window at the sunrise. He was feeling weak from being away from his vessel for too long and from having the Force cuffs on, blocking his Force connection. Hades looked over to Solo and said, "We need to get out of here and stop whatever this Palpatine guy is planning." "We can't," Solo argued. "As long as these cuffs are on me, I'm powerless. Same goes for you. And you don't have your ember on you as well." Hades sighed and said, "I hate just sitting around and doing nothing." "You need to have hope," Solo said. "And have faith in the Force. And believe in Mal."

Suddenly guards came into the dungeon and one of them said, "Kylo Ren. You are coming with us." "Why?" Solo asked. The other guard answered, "King Chad wants you to have a front seat during the ceremony before your destruction." Both guards dragged Solo away. Hades looked out his cell window and whispered, "I know you can do it, Rey. I have faith in you."

Audrey was getting ready in another part of the castle for her wedding and coronation. The darkness in her was beaming with anticipation. Audrey looked at herself in the mirror when she was finished putting her dress and makeup on. She smiled and said, "The day I have been waiting for my whole life. I am going to become Queen of Auradon." "But you won't be with the man you love," a little voice in her head said. Audrey cringed, the goodness in her was trying to break the hold Palpatine put on her. She held her head and whispered, "No! This is the choice I am making. Stay quiet!" The little voice was gone and Audrey smiled an evil smile. A knock was heard on her door and a guard came in and said, "It's time, Your Highness." Audrey nodded and walked out of the room, ready for her wedding and coronation.

Meanwhile, Mal's plan was already underway. Carlos and Jay were at the entrance to the museum. They saw the old security guard and cracked the door open a little and released the sleeping spray. It took longer than they would have for the guard to fall asleep. Once done, they snuck in and turned off the cameras and alarms. They retrieved Evie's mirror and the trident then left. They raced to the water's edge where Uma, Harry, Gil, and Celia were waiting. "Took you lads long enough," Harry grumbled. "Sorry," Carlos said. "The sleeping spray took longer than we thought." "Just take the trident and get going," Jay said, handing it to Uma, who shrunk it and put it in her necklace. Carlos and Jay then ran to met up with Evie.

Uma, Harry, Gil, and Celia were at the water's edge looking at the Isle as Uma said, "I'll put a spell on all of you to breathe underwater. I will swim us to the cracks leading to Hades' cavern." "And I'll let my shadows there go so we can get through the cracks," Celia added. Uma chanted her spell and all four dove into the water. Uma transformed into her sea witch form and helped guide everyone to the cracks under the Isle. Celia pulled her shadows away and Uma, using magic, got everyone through the cracks and into Hades' cavern. "That was weird," Gil said. "Indeed," Harry agreed. "Come on," Uma said. "We need to gather everyone for the next phase." They ran to get out of Hades' cavern to above ground.

Evie and Dude were hiding outside of Ben's castle. They saw multiple people enter as Evie said, "The ceremony is going to start soon. Where are Carlos and Jay?" She looked around and saw Carlos and Jay running towards her. "What took you two so long?" Evie asked. "Sorry," Carlos said. "It took the guard a long time to fall asleep using the spray. But here." He handed Evie her mirror and Evie whispered, "I never thought I would be using this again. Mirror, mirror, in my hand, show us where Ben stands." The mirror showed Ben Solo being dragged by guards, then it showed Ben's body lying on a bed where his parents were watching over him, along with Leia and Padme. "Who are those two spirits?" Dude asked. "Probably other Force spirits," Carlos deduced. "But Ben's soul still has those cuffs on." He pulled out the gadget he made and said, "I need to get this on them so he can be freed. We need to keep track of where he's going so I can shoot this at his cuffs." "Hopefully Mal's destruction of the barrier will bee enough of a distraction," Jay said. "Then when Palpatine is distracted, we can make our move. And hopefully Agathe will make her way to Ben's body. She said that she will know when the cuffs are gone." "Where is she anyway?" Evie asked. "Probably in a really good hiding spot," Carlos suggested.

"So, how are we going to get in?" Jay asked. Evie smiled as she pulled out some clothes and makeup and said, "That's where I come in."

A little while later, the three stood near the entrance looking very different. They were all wearing pastel colors, Evie's hair was black instead of blue, Carlos' hair was brown instead of white with black highlights, and Jay's hair was in a bun. Evie used special makeup that would make people glance over them. "I hope this works," Jay mumbled. "It will," Evie hissed. Dude was hiding near the side entrance waiting for Agathe to show up with Hades' ember, then he would sneak in the way Chewie had so many times before. Evie, Carlos, and Jay took deep breaths and mingled with the crowd going into the castle.

Luke, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin were hiding near the castle and saw Evie, Carlos, and Jay go in. "They're in," Anakin whispered. "Now we wait," Obi-Wan said. "Cautious, we must be," Yoda said. "Something dark is coming, I fear." "Agreed," Luke said. "If Palpatine decides to unleash his new army, we'll be ready." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Uma, Harry, Gil, and Celia had spread word to have everyone gathered near the bridge. The four stood on the balcony overlooking Auradon and Uma shouted, "Citizens of the Isle. I know that all of you are angry they you have been dragged back here. But King Ben was not the one to do it. An evil spirit has taken over the throne and plans to spread his darkness through this world and beyond. We have to stop him." "Why should we?" one voice in the crowd shouted. "We're villains. Shouldn't we allow evil to reign?" "No," Uma said. "If this evil plan succeeds, we are goners. Everyone." The crowd murmured as Uma continued, "I know that some of you think that evil should overtake good. But you're wrong. Auradon was wrong when they thought good should overtake bad. Auradon needs balance. And Ben and Mal wish to bring balance back to this world. That was why they freed us in the first place. Now the king's life is in danger and our world is threatened. Do you want to rot here and wait for this world to be destroyed or do you want to fight back and take back this world?" The crowd roared, "Fight! Fight!" "Then listen to me," Uma shouted. "Mal is coming to free all of us again. Once that happens, this is what we do."

The throne room at Ben's castle was packed with people, the darkness spread by Palpatine fueling their actions. Fairy Godmother was standing next to the thrones as she was going to officiate the weeding. Jane was close by, blank expressions on hers and her mother's faces. Chad's parents, Audrey's mother, and Audrey's grandmother stood nearby. Evie, Carlos, and Jay were spread out amongst the crowd observing everything. They saw Doug, Lonnie, and several other Auradon Prep students with their families standing like they were in a trance.

Suddenly trumpets sounded and the doors opened to reveal Chad (Palpatine), wearing the King's crown, a royal suit, and a cape. Everyone bowed as Chad walked down the aisle, Evie, Carlos, and Jay even had to so that they could blend in. Chad reached the throne and turned to the crowd and said, "Citizens of Auradon. Today is a grand day. Today I start my reign as your king." The crowd cheered as Chad continued, "Today we will destroy the spirit who tried to cause chaos in Auradon. Guards, bring in the prisoner."

Another door opened and two guards dragged Solo in and placed him in front of Chad, the crowd murmuring to themselves. "Kylo Ren," Chad said. "You stand here guilty of treason. Do you have any last words?" Solo looked up at Chad and said, "That's not my name." Chad got confused and said, "Yes it is. You are Kylo Ren, Master of the Knights of Ren, Supreme Leader of the First Order…"

"Not anymore," Solo interrupted causing the crowd to murmur. "Yes, once upon a time, I was Kylo Ren, but not anymore. I renounced the dark side and reutrned to who I was born as, Ben Solo. I sacrificed my life to save the woman I love. I was reborn here as Prince Ben to save this world and bring balance back to it. I'm not the one who wants to cause chaos. That person is you." The crowd gasped as Solo's words made the darkness in them weaken.

But Chad angrily stepped forward and leaned down to Solo. He whispered in his Palpatinee voice, "You won't win, Skywalker. You are going to watch as I take away your precious kingdom and start my conquest of the galaxy once more. And I will find the other half of the dyad and crush her, wherever she is hiding. I sense that you don't have much time left as your connection to your vessel is breaking. So I'll make this good." He stood up and said in Chad's voice, "Guards! Hold him over here! He is getting a front seat to witness the start of my new reign before he's destroyed."

The two guards dragged Solo off to the side. Carlos saw this and slowly moved toward Solo so he could get in range to fire his gadget at Solo's cuffs.

Trumpets sounded as the main doors opened with Audrey on the other side, looking regal. Her father was standing next to her, ready to escort her down the aisle. They both slowly started to make their way down the aisle with everyone bowing as they walked past. They came up to Chad and looked up at him. Evie pulled out her magic mirror and whispered, "Mirror, mirror, tell her it's time to begin."

Meanwhile, Mal was standing on a cliff overlooking the Isle with Agathe standing next to her. "So," Agathe said. "Since you have reawakened, do you want to call yourself Rey again or are you going to stick with Mal?" "Haven't thought about that yet," Mal answered. "Right now, I just want to get Auradon back."

Suddenly they saw a flash of light in the sky and Agathe said, "It's time. Evie's sent the signal. I'll go to the castle and find Ben's vessel. Now remember, keep yourself closed off from the Force until after Ben's soul is reunited with his vessel." "Got it," Mal said. "Time to stretch my wings." Purple mist surrounded her and she transformed into a dragon and took off to the skies towards the Isle. She held Hades' ember in her claw and when she arrived over the Isle, she sent a blast from the ember to the barrier and shattered it.

The citizens of the Isle saw this as Uma shouted, "We have been freed. Now, let's take back Auradon!" The crowd cheered and rushed off the Isle on the bridge lending back to Auradon. Uma turned to Harry, Gil, and Celia and said, "You three need to get to Ben's castle. Now!" Harry, Gil, and Celia nodded and ran off the Isle. Uma ran to the ocean and dove in, disappearing underneath the waves.

Back in the throne room, Prince Phillip gave Audrey to Chad and walked over to his wife. Chad took Audrey's arm into his and they both faced Fairy Godmother, who said, "Today we unite these two in holy matrimony. King Chad, do you take Princess Audrey to be your wife and Queen. "I do," Chad said quickly. "And," Fairy Godmother turned to Audrey. "Do you, Princess Audrey, take King Chad to be your husband and king?" "I do," Audrey said without hesitation. "Then," Fairy Godmother said as Jane handed her the Queen's crown. "By the power vested in me, I hereby…"

Suddenly the main doors opened and a guard came running in shouting, "Your Majesty!" Chad growled, turned to the guard and shouted, "What? You just interrupted an important ceremony!" "But," the guard said. "The barrier around the Isle has been broken." "What?" Chad shouted, his eyes turning yellow for a second, the crowd gasping as the darkness in the room fed on their fear to power itself. Audrey huffed as Chad marched forward to the guard and got in his face shouting, "How? What happened?" "It appears," The guard answered. "That Mal has destroyed it in her dragon form. And the people on the Isle are coming this way."

Carlos meanwhile used this distraction to make his way towards Solo, who was being held by the two guards. Solo was smiling at the mention of Mal messing with Palpatine's plans. He noticed movement and looked over and saw Carlos, even through his disguise, slowly making his way toward him. He noticed a gadget in Carlos' hand and Solo thought, "He must have designed something that will unlock these cuffs. Good."

Chad turned and walked back up to the throne. He sat down on the throne and looked at Audrey, who was standing there with a scowl on her face. "My dear," Chad said. "Come sit with me." Audrey took the crown from Fairy Godmother and put in on her head before she sat on the throne next to him. "I apologize that the ceremony was interrupted, but you are now my Queen." Audrey smiled a creepy smile and said, "Thank you, my King."

Chad then turned to the crowd and said, "And now, as a gift for my bride, I want to unveil the first of my new armada." Evie then whispered into her mirror, "Mirror, mirror, let them know it's happening." Chad then raised his hand into the air and closed his eyes.

Suddenly the earth began to tremble and everyone in the throne room felt it. Outside, 9 Star Destroyers rose from the ground getting bigger as they rose to the sky. On them were mindless drones manning each part of every Destroyer. Also, mindless clones were rising from the ground, breaking the earth as they came up. They formed into a military lane outside the castle, blasters in their hands, ready for battle.

In the throne room, computers materialized out of nowhere showing everyone the new armada for the first time. Chad opened his eyes and said, "9 ships now fly in the sky, with more on the way. And right now in front of this castle is my new army. Ready at my command. The ships will deal with Mal and take off towards space and my army will take care of the people of the Isle coming this way. Today is the start of my new Empire with Auradon as its capital!" The crowd mindlessly cheered, Solo growling in frustration and Evie, Carlos, and Jay looking worried but hopeful that the plan will continue smoothly.

Dragon Mal, still up in the sky, saw the citizens of the Isle charge off the Isle towards Auradon. Suddenly she saw 9 giant Star Destroyers emerge from the ground, heading up into the atmosphere. She looked down at the ember in her claws and magically sent the ember to Agathe, who was on the ground at the cliff Mal took off from and Agathe then magically teleported to where Dude was hiding. Dude saw the Enchantress and asked, "Do you have it?" Agathe nodded and put the ember in a locket then tied it to Dude's collar. "Now," Agathe said. "I can sense that Hades is still in the dungeon. You need to sneak in there and give him the ember. Then tell him this." She leaned down and whispered in Dude's ear. She pulled away and the dog nodded. "Now, go," Agathe said and the dog took off, looking for the secret entrance that Chewie showed up long ago. Agathe looked up at the roof and muttered, "Now it's time to face a man I have not seen in over 20 years." She looked over and saw the clones springing up from the ground, so she magically snuck around to the rose garden and entered the castle that way, as they was no focus in that part of the castle at the moment.

She walked through the halls towards her destination. When she came across a guard, she waved her hand and the guard was knocked out. She came up to the door leading to Adam and Belle's suite and knocked out the guards with her magic.

Adam and Belle heard the noise from inside their room. Leia and Padme looked up and Leia smiled saying, "It's about time she got here." "Who?" Adam asked. Suddenly the doors opened on their own and Agathe walked through. Adam stood in front of Belle and shouted, "You! You have a lot of nerve showing up here after everything that you did." "And what did I do, Adam?" Agathe asked. "You are the cause to all of this!" Adam shouted. "If you didn't put that spirit in my son, then none of this would of happened." "Adam!" Belle shouted. Agathe sighed and turned to Leia and Padme and asked, "Did either of you two explain the situation to him at all?" "I did," Leia answered. "But he's stubborn. Like he's always been over the years." Agathe sighed and stepped forward saying, "Then, Adam, it was explained to you that I had nothing to do with the magic of this world punishing you for what you did. If I didn't step in and have Ben Solo reborn as your son, you would not have a son at all!"

Adam stepped backwards in shock as Belle stepped forward and said, "Please. Can you save my son?" Agathe looked at Ben's body and said, "I can merge Ben's soul back into his vessel. But I can't do that until he is freed from his chains. Those cuffs he wears right now as we speak are blocking his connection to the Force and to the magic of this world."

"Why?" Adam asked. "Why would you send a spirit to be reborn as my son?" Agathe turned and looked at Adam and said, "It wasn't my choice. It was Ben's. When his spirit first arrived here, I told him everything about this world and I gave him a choice. Either he could be reborn as your son or you would not have an heir and the crown would pass on to someone else, someone that would bring more chaos to Auradon. He wanted a second chance at life, based on a wish made long ago by his other half. You gave him that second chance. He loves both of you very much, I have seen that. He is happy with the life you two gave him. But he is also here to fix your mistakes, Adam. But no matter what, he is still your son."

Adam stood there for a moment processing all of this. Belle took his hand and said, "He is still our son, Adam. Yes, he kept all of this from us, but he is still the son we love." Adam looked into Belle's eyes and said, "You are always right, my dear." He looked up at Agathe and said, "Please help my son."

Agathe nodded and turned to Leia and said, "Leia. I can take over here. You need to help get Ben's soul here when he is freed. Keep your eyes on Carlos." Leia nodded and stood up. She phased out of the room as Agathe stood next to the bed. "Time is growing short." Padme said. "I cann feel that Ben doesn't have a lot of time left before the connection is broken between his spirit and his body. They must hurry."

The VKs, led by Harry, Gil, and Celia, ran through the streets of Auradon towards the castle. Harry especially wanted to get there so he could get his girl back. But they suddenly stopped when they saw Palpatine's clone army in front of them, guarding the castle. "Who are those ugly people?" Gil asked. "That would be the army Mal detected," Celia said. "And they have weapons," Harry added. The army noticed them and turned toward them.

Chad (Palpatine) saw this on the computer screens in the throne room. The crowd saw it too. "My army," Chad said. "Take out those villains."

The army marched forward towards the VKs, guns pointing at them. But suddenly Luke, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda appeared between the two groups with lightsabers in their hands.

"What?" Chad shouted as he stared at the screen. Solo smirked to himself.

"If you want these villains as you call them," Luke shouted. "Then your army has to get through us." The army started to open fire and the Force spirits blocked every shot back to the clones and one by one the clones turned to dust from the rebound shots. Anakin turned back to the VKs and shouted, "You three! Take your group and go around. We'll handle this." Harry, Gil, and Celia nodded and led the group around the army while it was distracted by the Force spirits.

Chad growled as Audrey stared at the screen. She saw Harry on the screen at the head of the VK group and the little voice in her head said, "There. That is the person you are meant to be with. Not this usurper. This isn't you. Fight it." Audrey shook her head to block out the voice as Chad shouted, "Guards. Bring forward the prisoner." The two guards dragged Solo back toward the thrones, much to Carlos' irritation as he was almost close enough to Solo to fire the gadget at his cuffs.

Chad stared down at Solo and said, "Before your destruction, I want you to watch as my armada takes to the skies towards new planets, new galaxies." Solo stared up at the screen as the 9 Star Destroyers were flying high in the atmosphere.

But one of them was suddenly engulfed in flames and slowly fell towards the Earth. Chad growled and saw on the screen that dragon Mal shot a blast of magical fire at one of the Star Destroyers and destroyed it herself. Solo smirked as Chad shouted into the computers, "Alert! Destroy that dragon. Use all firepower you have." Solo heard this and shouted, "No!"

The 8 remaining Star Destroyers started to fly towards dragon Mal. They fired lasers at her and she had to dodge each one and couldn't get another shot in. One laser nearly grazed her wing.

But then a laser fired at one of the Destroyers, wrecking part of its weapons. Dragon Mal turned and saw the Millennium Falcon along with some X-wings. She heard Han's voice shouting, "Over here, nerfherders!" Chewie was sitting next to him in the cockpit of the Falcon and roared. Finn, Poe, Rose, and Maz were in the X-wings surrounding the Falcon. "Red 1 standing by," Finn said. "Red 2 standing by and ready for some take down," Poe said. "Red 3 standing by," Rose said. "And Red 4 standing by," Maz said. Several Star Destroyers sent out TIE fighters to take care of the ships and the X-wings and Millennium Falcon took off and started the aerial dog fight.

Down below, Uma rose up from the water in her sea witch form and she summoned the trident from her shell necklace. "Mal!" Uma shouted. "We've got this. Go!" Dragon Mal roared as she flew towards Ben's castle. Uma used the trident to summon storm clouds and sent lightning at one Destroyer, blowing it up.

Back in the throne room, Chad growled and shouted, "Where did they come from?" Chad marched up to Solo and said, "I had a feeling other spirits helped you. But they can't help you now. Tell me, where is your other half?" Solo looked up at Chad and kept his mouth shut. "Fine," Chad scowled. He turned to Fairy Godmother and said, "Make him tell me." Solo looked up in shock. Sure he was immune to magic, but since he had the cuffs on, that immunity has been thrown out the window. Fairy Godmother stepped in front of Solo and held out her wand.

But before she could say her magic words, Evie muttered into her mirror, "Mirror, mirror, shine a bright light!" Evie held the mirror towards Fairy Godmother and blinded the woman. Jay used this distraction and easily moved through the crowd and jumped over Fairy Godmother, snatching the wand from her. Carlos put the gadget in a sling shot and fired it right at Solo's cuffs, hitting right on target. Solo looked down and saw the gadget latch on and he heard gears moving and the cuffs unlocked and fell at his feet.

"You brats!" Chad shouted as Audrey stood up and ran next to Chad. "My fellow citizens. Get those villains for me." Everyone in the crowd mindlessly turned toward Evie, Carlos, and Jay and started to run towards them. "Over here!" Evie shouted and Carlos and Jay fought their way towards Evie. "Give me the wand," Evie told Jay and Jay handed it to her. She called on its magic and formed a barrier around the three, with the mind controlled people pounding on it, darkness coming out of them, Doug, Jane, and Lonnie right in the front staring down the three with dark eyes.

Solo tried to stand, but he was weak from being cuffed for so long and from being away from his body too long. He heard Chad cackling and looked up to see the possessed king walking towards him. "You may be free from your chains," Chad said. "But you're not free from me. You never were, Skywalker." He held up his hand and lightning formed in it. "If you won't tell me where my granddaughter is, then you and your pathetic friends will suffer!" He sent a lightning attack at Evie, Carlos, and Jay, blasting a big hole in their barrier. He sent another lightning attack at Solo, hitting him dead on. Solo cried out in pain as Chad laughed evilly, Audrey standing there with dark eyes looking down at Solo.

Chad prepared another attack and sent it at Solo, but Leia appeared in front of him and blocked it, glaring at Chad. "You are done harming my family, Palpatine!" Leia shouted. "One half of Vader's offspring," Chad commented. "Finally protecting her son from big bad me. And you couldn't even sense me when I was in your boy's head all those years ago. Feel the guilt?" Leia glared at Chad and said, "Your time has ended, Palpatine. Leave this place." "Or what?" Chad taunted.

Suddenly they heard a dragon's roar in the distance and Leia smiled saying, "You're doomed." Dragon Mal crashed through the large window in the throne room and landed in between Evie, Carlos, and Jay and the mind controlled crowd. She roared loudly, causing people to cover their ears. Leia used this distraction and helped Solo to his feet and they both disappeared. "No!" Chad shouted. Dragon Mal glared at Chad and Chad shouted, "You will pay for this, fairy child!" Dragon Mal flapped her wings and sent the mind controlled citizens of Auradon to the floor. Evie let down the barrier and she, Carlos, and Jay ran to dragon Mal's side.

Suddenly the doors opened and in rushed the VKs, Harry, Gil, and Celia in the front. "Give me back my gal you monster!" Harry shouted. Audrey saw Harry at the other end of the room and the voice in her head shouted, "There he is! Go to him!" But Chad stepped in front of Audrey and said, "She's mine, pirate! You'll have to get past my army to get to her!"

He raised his hands and more clones rose from underneath the ground, breaking through the floor, but they looked more monstrous than the first bunch. "It's a shame they aren't finished yet," Chad commented. "But they can still take you down. Army! Get rid of those villains and destroy that dragon!" Dragon Mal roared as Celia shouted, "Charge!" The VKs charged in and started to fight off the monsters as Dragon Mal used her size to knock clones away.

While all of this was happening, Dude was sneaking through the different hallways in the castle towards the dungeons. He found the door, but didn't know how to get it. "Rats!" Dude said. Suddenly he heard someone from the other side come to open the door and hid off to the side. The door opened and a guard came out saying, "Who's there?" As the guard was looking around, Dude snuck by him and into the dungeons.

Hades was sitting in his cell trying to figure out what the heck was going on. He has heard people running, screaming, and he felt huge tremors in the Earth. "Will someone tell me what's going on?" Hades shouted.

"I can." Hades looked down and saw Dude standing in front of his cell. "You're Carlos' dog, aren't you?" Hades asked. Dude nodded his head and said, "Yep. Mal sent me here to give you this back." He nodded to the locket on his collar and Hades reached through his cell bars and got it. He opened it and saw his ember. "She's giving this back?" Hades asked. Dude nodded and said, "Yep. Mal destroyed the new barrier with it. She gave it to Agathe, who gave it to me, so I can give it to you. And I have to tell you something that Agathe wants you to do." "Go on," Hades said as he took the ember out and his hair went aflame.

Leia arrived with Solo back in Adam and Belle's suite where Agathe was waiting. "Well done, Leia," Agathe said. Leia smiled as she stepped away from Solo, who looked up and saw Padme sitting next to his body, and Adam and Belle staring down at him. Solo stood up shakily and said, "I know that you two deserve an explanation…." "We already have," Adam said. "Both Agathe and…your original mother explained everything." Solo sighed and said, "I am sorry. For everything. I am sorry that I lied to both of you for so long. If you don't want me to be your son anymore, then I understand." Some tears started to fall down Solo's face as Belle stepped forward and hugged him, surprising the spirit. "You are my son," Belle said. "You made that happen. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a child. You are my child, Ben. Reborn soul or not. You are my pride and joy." Belle's eyes were misty with tears as Solo hugged her back. Belle pulled away and turned to Adam and asked, "Do you have anything to say to our son?"

Adam stepped forward and said, "I am sorry. That I didn't defend you against Chad…..Palpatine. I didn't have faith in you like a father should to his son. You are my son. And I love you." Solo sucked in a breath as Adam came over and hugged him. He was surprised that his dad, as tempered as he is, still loved him despite everything. Solo hugged him back and whispered, "I love you too, Dad." Adam pulled away and said, "I am shocked that you are taller than me in this form." Solo chuckled and said, "Yea. I may not have this height now, but at least I don't have these ears."

Agathe stepped forward and said, "As much as this is touching, we are on a deadline. You need to merge back with your body before it's too late and you need to help stop Palpatine." "Right," Solo said. "Do it." Agathe nodded and started her spell. Adam and Bellee stood there in awe as Solo disappeared into his vessel. Agathe stopped the chanting and Ben opened his eyes on the bed. Padme looked down at Ben and said, "Welcome back, my grandson." Belle ran over and hugged Ben, "You're OK." Ben chuckled as he sat up saying, "Yea. Still getting my strength back. But we need to get to the throne room. The citizens from the Isle along with Mal are fighting Palpatine's monster army. I need to go!" "We will accompany you," Leia said as she and Padme disappeared into Ben's body causing Adam and Belle to gasp. Ben sighed and said, "Yea. I bet you seeing that I have spirits in my head is weird. But we have to go. Now!"

The battle of the Star Destroyers was still going on as the Millennium Falcon and X-wings gunned down several TIE fighters and Uma destroyed two more Destroyers. "We need to finish this now!" Poe shouted. Uma then got an idea and said, "All of you pull back. I have an idea." "You heard the lady," Han shouted as the Millennium Falcon and X-wings pulled away. Uma raised the trident to the skies and summoned massive lightning down on all of the TIE fighters and the remaining Destroyers, blasting them to smithereens. Uma shouted to the sky, "I'll go to the castle. You all fly there and surround it." Uma swam to the land and changed back into her normal self, still holding the trident, and ran to the castle while the spaceships flew overhead.

The throne room was still in chaos as dragon Mal and the VKs fought against the monster clones as the monsters dwindled down to none. Chad look over at the computers and saw the destruction of the rest of his armada. He screamed with fury and shouted, "Enough!" He released a massive lightning attack at the VKs, but dragon Mal flew in front of them and took the full force of the attack. She fell to the ground and transformed back into her normal self, unconscious. Evie, Carlos, and Jay tried to run over to her, but Chad Forced pushed them towards one of the walls. They collided with the ground, Evie holding her mirror and the wand firmly in her hands as she fell. Chad then Force pushed the rest of the VKs towards the walls of the room, leaving Mal alone in the middle.

Chad laughed evilly as he walked towards her. Audrey sneered and said, "Serves her right. Traitor! Make her suffer, my dear." Harry, from his spot on the floor, heard this and silently started to make his way toward the thrones without being noticed. "Gladly, my Queen," Chad said as he raised his hand and summoned a sword from one of the knights of armor in the room. Mal was starting to wake up as Chad said, "Goodbye, fairy child."

Chad raised his sword and swung down, but suddenly he was thrown away from Mal back towards the thrones, hitting the ground and the crown on his head knocked off, rolling towards Audrey. Chad groaned as he looked over and saw Ben standing near a doorway with Adam, Belle, and Agathe standing behind him. Ben's hand was raised towards Mal showing that he was the one to Force push Chad away from Mal. Ben used the Force to jump and land next to Mal. He knelt down to the ground and whispered, "Mal? Are you OK?" Mal mumbled a little as Ben smiled, glad to see that she was all right. He looked over at Evie, Carlos, and Jay and said, "Get to Doug, Jane, and Lonnie. You three can rid them of this darkness." Evie, Carlos, and Jay nodded and ran towards their loved ones.

Evie ran over to where Doug was lying down and kissed him firmly on the lips. Doug woke up and mumbled, "Evie? Is that you?" Evie nodded, tears coming to her eyes and hugged Doug, whiteout dropping her mirror or the wand.

Carlos ran over to Jane and cradled her in his arms, kissing her lightly. Jane opened her eyes and said, "Carlos. You came for me." Carlos nodded and put his forehead against hers, whispering, "I am just happy that I got you back."

Jay slid on the ground and picked up Lonnie, giving her a quick kiss on the lips to wake her up. Lonnie looked up at Jay and asked, "What took you so long?" Jay chuckled and held Lonnie tightly in his arms.

Chad growled as he stood back up, not caring that Audrey was trying to help him back up. Ben turned and glared at Chad saying, "Give me back my kingdom, Palpatine. And get out of Chad. Now!" Chad laughed evilly and said, "No can do, Skywalker. You will never get your kingdom back. Especially since I exposed you to everyone here." The mind controlled people started to wake up fully, but Agathe used her magic to eliminate the darkness put on them by Palpatine. They looked up and saw Ben and Chad staring at each other.

Ben then said, "You're right." Chad got puzzled as Ben continued, "Even when you are defeated, I may not become King of Auradon again. That depends on what the kingdom wants. Yes I am Ben of Auradon. But that is only one part of who I am."

Gold mist surrounded Ben and he turned into Ben Solo, dark Gary robes and all, holding his lightsaber in his hands. The crowd gasped as Ben finished, "I am also Benjamin Organa-Skywalker-Solo, formerly known as Kylo Ren. Yes I have done bad things in the past, no thanks to you, but I have been reborn here to become a better person and have a second chance at life. And I will protect my kingdom from you." Ben ignited his lightsaber and pointed it at Chad.

Chad laughed evilly as he summoned the sword next to him and changed it into a lightsaber and ignited it and charged in at Ben Solo and the two started their duel.

Evie ran over to Fairy Godmother along with Doug and Agathe released her from Palpatine's hold. "My goodness," Fairy Godmother said. "That was awful." Evie handed her the wand and said, "Here. Sorry that we took it." "Quite alright," Fairy Godmother said. "We must hurry," Agathe said. "Palpatine still has affected this world with his dark magic and there are more clones and parts of his armada being created underground. We must combine our magic to destroy it." Fairy Godmother nodded and the two magic users joined hands and closed their eyes, sending magic underground. Carlos, Jane, Jay, Lonnie, Gil, and Celia ran over and Carlos said, "We have to protect them while they do this. Maybe I can access these computers and try to shut them down. That might help." He ran over to the computers and typed away as the others looked over and saw Ben Solo and Chad fighting with lightsabers.

Chad pushed Ben towards the thrones and swung his lightsaber down, but Ben blocked him, holding the lightsaber back from his head. Audrey saw another sword lying nearby and walked over and picked it up. She started towards Ben and Chad, but then she felt someone grab her arm and she was pulled away. She looked up and saw Harry looking down at her and said, "Audrey. Stop this. Please. This isn't you." Audrey growled and said, "This is me. I am meant to be Queen of Auradon. And you…" Harry interrupted her by leaning down and kissing her. Audrey tried to pull away, but Harry held her firmly in his arms. The magic from the kiss started to melt the darkness away in her and Audrey started to reciprocate the kiss and her hair turned back into its blonde shade. Harry pulled away and he saw the spark in Audrey's eyes again. "Harry," Audrey whispered. Harry smiled and said, "I missed you." "Thank you," Audrey said, leaning her forehead against his.

Chad felt the magic of the kiss and looked over and saw that Harry had broken through and freed Audrey. He tried to push Ben aside and get to her, but Ben jumped in front of him and said, "You done enough damage to her. Leave her alone." Chad got angry and charged at the three, but then he was blasted off his feet into a wall nearby next to some ash remains of his monster clones. Ben looked over and saw Uma standing there holding the trident towards him. "Thought you could use a hand," Uma said. Chad stood up from the ground and shouted, "You! After everything I did to help you against your enemy. And this is the thanks I get?" Uma chuckled and said, "Shut up, Gramps." Chad growled and jumped toward Uma, but Ben intercepted and shouted, "Uma, go!" Uma ran towards the other VKs and Celia asked, "Can you help Agathe and Fairy Godmother?" Uma looked at the trident and said, "I could try." The trident glowed in her hands and she sent the magic into the earth.

Chad looked over and saw what the three magic users were doing and chuckled, "They aren't enough. The magic of this world is no match for the powers of the Force. I'll show them that." He summoned lightning and shot it at the three magic ladies, but Ben jumped in the way and took the full blast. His lightsaber deactivated and he fell to the ground in pain.

Mal fully woke after being blasted by lightning and looked up in time to see Ben, or rather him in his Ben Solo form, get blasted with lightning. She struggled to stand as Chad walked over to Ben and said, "Pathetic Skywalker. I should have made sure I ended you all those years ago. Time to fix my mistake and finish the dyad once and for all!"

"Hey!" Mal shouted making Chad turn around and Ben looked up at Mal weakly. "You've done him and his family enough harm. This ends now, Palpatine." Chad laughed and said, "Pitiful fairy child. You and your magic are no match against me." Mal smirked and said, "Think again." Suddenly gold mist surrounded her as she used the trick Ben showed her and turned into a form that Ben Solo hasn't seen in over 20 years. "Rey," Ben whispered as Rey stood there in the gray outfit she wore when they took down Snoke, her brown hair in its traditional 3 buns, and her new lightsaber in her hand. Rey smiled and said in her original voice, "Surprise, old man." Chad stood there and said, "Granddaughter. I should have known that the girl Ben cared for so much here was you. You hid yourself well. But it's time to end you once and for all." Rey ignited her lightsaber and said, "You first. But you need to let Chad go. Face me, coward." Chad laughed evilly and said, "You can't force my spirit out of this vessel. Even with your other half of the dyad." Rey smirked and said, "I can actually. But that honor belongs to someone else."

Suddenly Chad fell to the ground and clenched his chest. Rey looked over and saw Hades standing next to Adam and Belle, holding his ember towards Chad. Hades smirked and said, "Payback time, old man. You mess with my daughter, you mess with me." Chad started to convulse and a ball of light emerged out of his body and Chad fell to the ground unconscious. The ball of light formed into Palpatine, dark cloak and all, and the people of Auradon gasped and stepped backwards in fright. Palpatine looked up and said, "You may have separated me from that pitiful vessel, but I am still the most powerful Force user in existence." He sent lightning at Hades, but Rey and Ben jumped in front and blocked it with their lightsabers. Ben looked down at Rey and said, "Welcome back, Rey. I have missed that accent of yours." "It's good to be back," Rey said. "And I do love hearing your deep voice. Now, let's finish him. Together this time." Ben nodded and he and Rey charged in and Palpatine pulled out his lightsaber and another duel began.

Two purple lightsabers clashed against a red one, both sides powerful with the Force. Hades ran over to Agathe and asked, "What is happening?" Agathe opened her eyes and answered, "More of Palpatine's armada and army are growing underground. We are trying to use our magic to destroy it. But it is powerful." Hades smirked and grabbed her hand and said, "Then maybe you need some godly power to help you." He clutched his ember in his other hand and sent its power into the Earth, feeling the clones cry in agony and the ships being destroyed.

Ben and Rey continued to fight Palpatine, who was blocking all of their moves. Palpatine cackled evilly and said, "You two have never been a match for me." "We beg to differ," Ben retorted. "If I recall," Rey added. "You have already been defeated. Twice." Palpatine growled and said, "But there is one major difference. You have compassion for others. I do not." He then suddenly used the Force to bring some of the ceiling down on where Evie, Carlos, Jay, Doug, Jane, Lonnie, Uma, Celia, Harry, Gil, Audrey, Agathe, Hades, and Fairy Godmother were standing. Ben and Rey raised their hands towards the falling ceiling and stopped it with the Force and tossed it aside. Palaptine used this distraction to blast both of them with lightning, knocking the dyad to the ground.

Palpatine walked towards them and said, "You see? You care too much for others and that will always distract you. It's your weakness. I know that those people are trying to destroy my armada and army. And I know that there are some ships, including that miserable Millennium Falcon are flying right outside ready to attack. But they all will fail. I am the Emperor, ruler of the Sith and the greatest power in all the galaxy." He raised his hand and lifted Ben and Rey using the Force up a little ways into the air. "But you two. The long lost dyad. Two that are one. A power like life itself. I may have needed to use a vessel to start my new reign, but now, the power of two will restore the one, true Emperor."

He raised both hands towards Ben and Rey and started to suck the life force out of both of them. Agathe and Hades saw this and tried to send magic to stop Palpatine, but it bounced right off of him. Ben looked over at Rey and said, "He can't do this. Not again. We have to fight back. Together." Rey thought for a moment and said, "Maybe not just us. We are the balance of the Force. Let's use that balance and finish him off for good." Ben and Rey grabbed each other's hands. They closed their eyes and focused on the Force. Palpatine laughed evilly as his spirit form was slowly turning into flesh as he shouted, "I am all of the Sith. My power will reign supreme!"

"Last time," Rey answered back. "I said I was all of the Jedi. I was wrong. I am not a Jedi. But I am not a Sith. I am the gray. The balance. Along with the other half of the dyad. We are one with the Force. And the Force is one with us." Suddenly Luke, Leia, Anakin, Padme, Han, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Finn, Poe, Rose, Maz, and several others from Rey and Ben's past appeared around them as Force spirits. "What is this?" Palpatine shouted. Luke smirked and said, "You have done enough damage, Palpatine. To the galaxy. To my family." "I didn't make sure that you were destroyed when I threw you down that shaft," Anakin added. "This time, I will make sure you are gone for good." Palpatine cackled, but then a gold light shone around Rey and Ben, which spread to all the Force spirits and all of the citizens of Auradon that were in the room.

"What's happening?" Palpatine croaked out as his flesh was turning back into a spirit. "Your trick you used last time can't work twice," Yoda commented. "We are drawing power from you," Obi-Wan added. "Until you are dust underneath our feet," Leia said.

Ben and Rey opened their eyes, which were glowing gold, and they said together, "Sheev Palpatine. You have disturbed the natural balance for the last time. No more will the Force aid you in your conquest for power. You will be no more." They raised their hands towards Palpatine, channeled all the Force and magic from everyone in the room and the Force itself right into Palpatine. The old spirit screamed in agony as his spirit was shredding right before everyone's eyes. Ben and Rey's power was also going into the Earth, aiding in the destruction of Palpatine's growing armada and army, wiping them from existence and returning the Earth back to normal. Palpatine screamed his last as he was reduced to nothing, his spirit destroyed forever.

The space ships flying outside the castle disappeared one by one, Chewie was the only person still in one of them. When the Millennium Falcon disappeared, he fell to the ground, unharmed. He got up and ran to the castle.

The golden glow of the throne room died down and Uma, Agathe, Fairy Godmother, and Hades released their magic, feeling that Palpatine's forces were destroyed. The Force spirits disappeared around Ben and Rey as they gently come down to the ground. They looked at each other with love in their eyes. But then they fell to the ground, unconscious and close to death.

Adam and Belle saw this from their side of the room and ran over to Ben while Hades and the VKs ran over to Rey. "Ben," Belle said as she kneeled to the ground and cradled Ben's head. "Sweetheart. Wake up. Please. You did it. You saved Auradon." Adam kneeled next to his wife and said, "Come back to us, son." Hades kneeled next to Rey and cradled her head and said, "Rey. My sunshine. Open your eyes. I just got you back. Don't leave me." Evie, Carlos, and Jay started to cry and Uma, Harry, Gil, and Celia stood there in silence, trying to fight back tears. Chewbacca barged into the room, startling the other people in the room watching from the sides, as the Wookiee ran over and saw the dyad lying on the ground. He roared a mournful cry.

Agathe walked over and said, "They used up their life energy to channel all of the Force and all of the magic of this world to destroy Palpatine once and for all. They're slipping away." "Isn't there anything you can do?" Adam asked. Agathe smiled and said, "There is one thing." She waved her hand and the Force spirits of Luke, Leia, Han, Anakin, Padme, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Finn, Poe, Rose, and Maz appeared next to everyone. The Force spirits raised their hands towards the dyad as Agathe explained, "The Force does want to make sure that Rey's wish comes true." Energy flew into Ben and Rey, with everyone around them hoping that they would wake up. After a while, the Force spirits put their hands down.

Ben opened his eyes and saw his parents above him. "Mom? Dad?" Belle cried and hugged her son, Adam crying silently behind her. "My baby!" Belle cried. Ben looked over and saw Rey waking up, which made Hades start to cry. Rey opened her eyes and mumbled, "Dad?" Hades hugged his daughter and cried, "You're alright, my Rey. You're safe." Rey looked over and saw Ben looking down at her. Rey pulled away from Hades and pulled Ben into a hug. "You're here," Ben whispered. "You've reawakened. We're together again." Rey pulled away and said, "I was always here, Ben. It just took some time to regain what I had lost. But I am whole again. And our bond has reforged. The dyad has reunited at long last. Thank you for waiting for me, Ben Solo." Ben smiled and said, "I would wait another 100 lifetimes for you, Rey." He leaned in and kissed Rey on the lips, which she happily reciprocated.

A gold mist surrounded the dyad causing the people around them to step back. When the mist dissipated, they didn't see Ben Solo and Rey. Instead sat the King of Auradon in his royal suit and honey brown hair and his purple haired fairy princess. The royal couple pulled away from their kiss and saw that they returned as their Auradon selves. Ben stood up and reached his hand down to Mal and helped her to stand.

The VKs ran over and hugged the couple, glad to see that they were alright. Dude came bounding in, barking up a storm. As the VKs pulled away, Chewbacca grabbed both Ben and Mal and pulled them into a bear hug. He released them a little while later and Evie said, "Never do that again, Mal. You had all of us worried." Mal chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I don't think an evil Sith spirit will be coming to Auradon any time soon." "So," Uma said. "Now that you got your memories and Force powers back, what should we call you. Mal or Rey?" "I am Rey," Mal said. "But I am also Mal of the Isle. I am both." "Same with me," Ben added. "I am Ben of Auradon. But I am also Ben Solo. We are one and the same." "So," Mal said. "You can call me whichever. I will reply to both." "Then I'll just stick with Mal," Uma said. "Since that's what I've called you for so long." The other VKs nodded in agreement. "I always call you Rey," Hades said. "So I'm sticking with that." Mal giggled and hugged her dad.

Ben turned to the Force spirits behind him and said, "Thank you. All of you. For what you have done." "It was our pleasure," Luke said. "But now we must go." Mal turned and asked, "What do you mean?" "We were only meant to be with Ben until you reawakened," Leia answered. "Now that you have, you don't need us anymore." "But," Ben said. "I always need you." "Kid," Han said. "I don't think you want to have us hanging around in your head forever. Our time has come." "But we'll still be around," Anakin said. "Since the Force is still a thing." "So we will always be with you in spirit," Padme said. "And you can call on us at any time," Maz said. "That's what the Force does," Finn said. "But C-3PO, R2-D2, and BB-8 will still be in your secret room," Poe said. "So they can help keep you company if you need it," Rose said. "I understand," Ben said. "We'll see you around," Mal said. "May the Force be with you," all the Force spirits said before they disappeared.

Over by the thrones, Chad started to wake up and he looked around the room. "What happened," Chad mumbled. Audrey walked over to Chad and asked, "Do you remember anything?" "Pieces," Chad said. "I remember running out into the forest. Then there was that old creepy guy. Then nothing." He saw the King's crown in Audrey's hand and asked, "Am I king now or something? And you're wearing the Queen's crown. Are you my queen?" Audrey sighed and took off the Queen's crown and said, "I am not your Queen. I am not meant to be Queen of Auradon. And I am fine with that." "And," Fairy Godmother said while walking over, "This wedding ceremony wasn't finalized, so it never happened."

Ben broke away from the crowd around him and walked over to Chad and said, "You were possessed by an evil spirit, who exposed my other side to everyone and made himself king in your name." "Really?" Chad asked. "I kind of remember that happening. But it felt like a dream." Ben sighed and looked at Fairy Godmother and said, "He was crowned as King. Therefore I am not King of Auradon anymore." "Not necessarily," Fairy Godmother said. "You by all rights won back the crown. Since it was forcibly taken from you in the first place. It's yours." Ben looked out at the crowd, who were all staring at him.

He sighed and said, "I am sorry that I lied to you. The people of Auradon. It is true that I am a reborn soul. Like Mal is. But I am not here to cause chaos. I am here to fix the mistakes of the past and bring balance back to this world. I will leave the choice to you. If you do not want me to be your king, then I will step down and hand it off to the next heir, Prince Chad." People started to murmur. Doug stepped forward and said, "I vote for Ben to become King again." "So do I," Jane agreed. "So do I," Lonnie added. More voices from the crowd voiced their voice to put Ben back on the throne and the entire room shouted his praise. "I vote for Ben to regain his throne," Audrey shouted, her parents and grandmother agreeing. Chad nodded his head for his yes vote. The VKs shouted their votes for yes. Mal stood there smiling at Ben. Fairy Godmother then said, "It's decided." She took the King's crown from Audrey and said, "You are hereby reinstated as King of Auradon." She put the crown on Ben's head as the crowd clapped and they bowed to King Ben.

Ben then held out his hand towards Mal, who walked forward and took it, coming up to where he was standing. "And," Ben said. "Do you still want to become my Queen?" Mal smiled and said, "Yes. With all my heart." Ben smiled and kissed Mal in front of the crowd as they cheered. Mal pulled away and said, "But I'm not getting that crown until we have our wedding later this year. Like we planned to." Ben chuckled and said, "It's a deal."

"All hail King Ben and Mal!" Jay shouted. Everyone in the crowd repeated what Jay shouted over and over. Ben smiled along with Mal. He looked over at Mal and felt a song come onto his heart and sung it to her and Mal felt the same song come into her heart and she sung with him,

(Ben)

Suddenly you're here

Suddenly it restarts

Our two anxious hearts beat as one

Yesterday I was alone

Today you stand beside me

Something now so clear

Something that is here

Can go on

(Mal)

Suddenly the world

Seems a different place

Somehow full of grace, full of light

How was I to know that so much hope was held inside me?

What has passed is gone

Now we journey on through the night

(Ben and Mal)

Nevermore alone

Nevermore apart

You have warmed my heart like the sun

You have brought the gift of life

And love so long denied me

Suddenly I see

What I longed to see

Something suddenly

Can go on

They leaned in and kissed each other, feeling their bond through the Force thrum with love, power, and hope. Today will mark the first day that the dyad is reunited in full. They may have found each other again before they were both reawakened to the Force, and they reformed their love for each other without it, but now that Mal has reawakened as Rey, she and Ben will grow as the dyad reborn, just as the Force knew they would.
