Back at the palace, Stefan was anything but a happy king. "You failed me." he told them sharply.
"The wall cannot be burned," The Captain of the Guard replied. "It is indestructible."
Stefan soon walked over to his captain and suddenly struck him in the face. "Nothing is indestructible!" he then snarled. "Not the wall! Not Maleficent! Not those brats she's saddled herself with! Not even her curse!" he then took out his knife and stabbed at the table in anger until he then realized something about the knife... It was made of iron... This gave him a new idea. "Bring me the iron workers." he soon demanded.
The next day it was a sunny day as everyone was out doing their own thing. The pixies decided to have a picnic since the day was lovely enough for one. Felicity held out her usual parasol to block from the sunshine since it was too much for her, but luckily, that was normal for her, so Chip wasn't too concerned.
"Do you know what this is, Aurora?" Aurelia smiled as she bonded with the girl who was now around the age of 5 as she put her hands together and showed a yellow-colored winged insect.
"Flutterby." Aurora said.
"That's right, a butterfly," Aurelia nodded before holding it out to her. "They're very beautiful bugs."
The butterfly began to fly off, causing Aurora to go after the beautiful bug.
"Aw... So cute." Aurelia smiled.
Maleficent rested against a tree as she saw what was happening and soon began to use her magic to cause more mischief for the pixies.
Flittle's hair was then suddenly pulled on from Maleficent's magic. "Ow!" she then glared, looking at Thistletwit and began to pull on her hair in return.
"Ow!" Thistletwit glared as she pulled on Flittle's hair next.
Maleficent then used her magic to throw Knotgrass's hat off her head.
"You!" Knotgrass glared as she soon began to hit Flittle and Thistletwit and the three began to fight like a bunch of children.
"Oh, will you grow up?!" Aurelia glared as she went to separate the pixies, turning away from Aurora then. "Honestly! You're all acting childish!"
"But they started it!" Knotgrass, Flittle, and Thistlewit told her while pointing at each other.
"I don't care who started it!" Aurelia crossed her arms firmly. "I am ending it! This can't be good for Aurora!"
Aurora continued to chase after the butterfly and was unknowingly coming towards the cliff at the end.
Maleficent soon looked over coldly as she noticed something. "Oh, look. The little beast is about to fall off the cliff." she then said.
Aurora was indeed about to fall while Aurelia and the pixies were too busy to notice and the girl yelped as she went over the edge. Maleficent then used her magic and had some branches catch Aurora before she would fall and then die as she kept trying to catch the butterfly.
"Well... That wasn't very evil..." Esabella remarked.
"Whew." Chip sighed out of relief.
Diaval, Felicity, Chip, and Esabella soon looked at Maleficent once Aurora was back on safe ground.
"What?" Maleficent shrugged at them in defense before she went back to lying down and relaxing.
"Hmm..." Esabella paused to herself as she muttered. "I suppose Mother made slight miscalculations about being among this Maleficent."
Maleficent took out a tiny item that looked like a dragon's foot holding an orb that nearly looked like her infamous scepter and lightly shook it as it sounded like a baby's rattle as she thought about something... Or rather, someone.
A while later, they were now in the forest as Maleficent used her magic to heal a tree, not knowing that Aurora was behind her.
"Mal certainly should bond with her mother more." Esabella smirked.
"What is with you?" Chip glared.
"Whatever do you mean?" Esabella shrugged.
"...You're up to some-" Chip glared before he glanced over and saw someone coming and looked wide-eyed once he saw who it was.
"Hello." Aurora smiled once she came up to Maleficent who soon turned around to see her.
"...Go away." Maleficent firmly said.
Aurora smiled at Maleficent and took a step towards her.
"Go. Go away." Maleficent demanded.
Aurora soon put her arms around Maleficent and held onto the woman.
"I don't like children." Maleficent glared firmly.
"Up. Up." Aurora smiled innocently.
Reluctantly, Maleficent picked Aurora up in her arms just to get it over with. Aurora soon began to feel Maleficent's horns as she seemed fascinated by them, even if she was only young before feeling the feathers on Maleficent's dress.
"Aurora? Aurora?" Aurelia's voice called out as she was looking for the little girl.
"Mm..." Maleficent said before she soon set Aurora back down on the ground. "Go along. Go, go, go."
Aurora soon turned around and walked away into the woods.
Aurelia looked panicked as she looked around before looking over with a relieved smile. "Oh, thank goodness," she then said. "Aurora, where were you?"
"'Way..." Aurora shrugged innocently before coming to go with Aurelia.
"I'm just glad you're not hurt." Aurelia whispered to herself as she went to bring Aurora back to the cottage.
"What was that about?" Esabella asked Maleficent.
"I have no idea, but think nothing of it," Maleficent replied. "I'll make sure that it never happens again."
"Well, that's good." Esabella said.
'I have a good feeling that Maleficent will start of let love back into her life.' Chip thought to himself.
"As Maleficent had said, Aurora did grow in grace and beauty." The narrator soon said as Diaval soon flew over to Aurora's window as the girl was a bit older now.
Aurora smiled as she saw Diaval from the window and hopped off of her bed and soon went to stroke his feathers. "Pretty bird." she then told him.
"Far away from the lofty palace that she remembered not..." The narrator continued as the years passed by. "And as the seasons changed and the flowers grew, so did she."
Aurora was then shown to be the same age as Esabella, Felicity, Chip, and Aurelia.
"However, her best friend, big sister figure, and #1 babysitter... Did not change." The narrator added as Aurelia stayed the same over the years.
"This must be part of the spell, even though we have gone into an alternate universe, we won't age." Aurelia said to herself.
"Do you really think so?" The narrator nearly deadpanned.
"Hey! I've never had a real adventure before, cut me some slack." Aurelia shrugged in defense.
"I'm not saying anything~" The narrator then teased.
One night soon came and Aurora was looking ready to leave the cottage.
"Going somewhere?" Aurelia asked Aurora.
"Just for a nightly stroll." Aurora smiled at her.
"Mind if I come with you? It'll give me a break from your aunts." Aurelia said.
"Okay," Aurora smiled. "I like hanging out with you anyway."
"Likewise." Aurelia smiled back as they went to walk into the forest together.
And as they walked into the forest, they kept going further in until they were faced with the wall of thorns. They were then given some company who romped through the snow. It was a little deer who soon came up to them.
"Oh... You remind me of a story I was once told about... Bambi..." Aurelia said once they saw the young deer.
Maleficent began to watch the girls as the deer ate from the palm of Aurora's hand since she was kind and gentle.
"That's it. There you go." Aurora said softly as she fed the deer until he decided he was done eating.
"She wondered at the world about her, and at what lay beyond the fearsome wall of thorns." The narrator soon narrated as Maleficent watched Aurora.
"It always amazes me of how big this wall of thorns is." Aurelia smiled as she walked beside Aurora.
"I know what you mean." Aurora had to agree after they said goodbye to the young deer.
Maleficent and Diaval, in his human form, watched the girls from the distance, though mostly Aurora of course.
"Hm. Curious little beasty, isn't she?" Esabella asked Maleficent.
"Indeed." Maleficent nodded in agreement.
"We have more company." Felicity said as she smelled blood from others that were coming.
"No doubt from the king's soldiers." Chip said.
"It would appear so." Felicity told her boyfriend.
"But she was not the only one who wished to get through." The narrator soon narrated.
Stefan's soldiers were soon shown trying to take down the wall of thorns when they saw Aurora and Aurelia both standing by the wall.
"Shh..." One soldier shushed the other as they quietly looked over to see the two girls with their backs turned. "Look. Is that her? Is that Maleficent?"
"I don't know and there's two of them." The other soldier replied.
As the two soldiers made their way slowly towards Aurora and Aurelia, Maleficent turned to Diaval.
"Bring them to me." The evil fairy demanded.
Diaval nodded as Maleficent then magicked him into a wolf instead of his usual bird form.
"Just two servant girls." The other soldier said once they saw that neither of them was Maleficent.
The howl of a wolf was soon heard which concerned the soldiers. The soldiers all looked around and they brought out their swords and tried to calm down their horses in the meantime. Maleficent soon used magic to put Aurora to sleep and soon began to float the girl back over towards her from behind the thorns.
"This should be interesting." Esabella said hopefully.
The soldiers soon saw a fearsome black wolf who snarled at them who was Diaval and soon ran towards them. The soldiers backed up and went to run away from Diaval before they were faced by Maleficent's figure right in front of them now.
"Oh, you men are in big trouble." Felicity smirked.
"Couldn't agree more." Chip said.
The soldiers looked trapped as they were surrounded by a wolf and Maleficent with no way out. Diaval soon barked at them as the men looked around to escape, though it looked nearly impossible. Maleficent soon made green magic appear in the palms of her hands and began to make the soldiers levitate in the air and she scattered them around with her magic and made them hit each other and get hurt, making her smile at their misfortune.
"This is fun." Esbella smirked.
"Oui, oui, mon ami." Felicity smirked back.
"Felicity!" Chip cried out.
"Whaaat?" Felicity whined.
"You're acting like Mal before The Cotilion!" Chip frowned.
Felicity glanced at him before she just shrugged nonchalantly and even used some of her own magic to help play with Maleficent. The magic soon made Maleficent and Felicity grin as they sent the soldiers flying against the trees and they soon fell from the trees and landed hard on the snowy grounds.
"Ouch. That had to hurt." Esabella smirked.
Aurelia saw everything that happened as she stayed by Aurora's side even if she was asleep and floating.
"Aurelia doesn't seem to be fighting this..." Chip said as he watched the blonde girl.
"Hmm..." Maleficent pondered as she came over to the soldiers' helmets and held out her hand on one before wincing as she realized that it was made out of iron.
Diaval soon came over to Maleficent and was soon changed back into his human form and stood up in disgust. "How could you do that to me?" he then complained to her.
"You said anything I need." Maleficent reminded.
"Yeah, but not a dog." Diaval scoffed.
"It was a wolf, not a dog." Maleficient clarified.
"You were good looking as a wolf." Felicity added snarkily.
"It's the same thing and I did not!" Diaval complained as they walked off together. "They're dirty, vicious, and they hunt birds."
"Then next time, maybe she'll change you into a worm." Esabella said.
"Agreed." Maleficent nodded.
"Well, I'll be a mealy worm, gladly," Diaval scoffed. "Anything but a filthy, stinking-"
Maleficent then suddenly turned Diaval back into his bird form.
"Maybe that'll settle you down." Esabella smirked at the bird.
Diaval glared at her slightly.
"Hmm... I wonder..." Maleficent pondered as she examined Aurora's floating, sleeping body, and soon took the girl over to the Moors.
Aurelia felt nervous about going back there, but she quickly followed behind as Maleficent took Aurora away just like that.
'What is she up to?' Esabella thought to herself.
'I have a good feeling about this.' Chip thought to himself.
Maleficent soon hid behind a tree and soon used her magic to wake up Aurora. Aurora gently fell to the ground before her eyes flashed open as she was somewhere far away from home.
"Good. You're not hurt." Aurelia said to Aurora calmly.
"Aurelia, are we where I think we are?" Aurora smiled.
"Depends, do you think we're behind the thorns that's not too far away from the cottage?" Aurelia countered.
Aurora nodded with a smile.
"Then yes." Aurelia smiled back.
"This sounds like a lot of fun!" Aurora beamed as she hugged Aurelia.
"I'm sure it'll be interesting for you." Aurelia said softly.
The creatures of the Moors were soon shown and came out to see Aurora before they began to fly off, feeling scared all of a sudden.
"It's okay. We won't hurt you." Aurelia smiled at the creatures of the Moors.
Aurora tilted her head before she looked to the trees and felt like she saw something. "I know you're there. Don't be afraid." she then said to the figure.
"I am not afraid." Maleficent chuckled.
"Then come out." Aurora lightly demanded.
"Then you'll be afraid." Maleficent retorted.
"No, we won't." Aurora reassured.
"Hm..." Maleficent paused before she soon stepped out of her hiding place and went to face Aurora and Aurelia.
"I know who you are." Aurora told Maleficent once she saw her.
"You do?" Maleficent asked her.
"You're my fairy godmother." Aurora smiled.
"Huh?" Aurelia asked.
"What?" Maleficent added.
Felicity, Chip, and Esabella shared a look with each other off that reply.
"Fairy godmother," Aurora reminded as she smiled at the dark fairy. "You've been watching over me my whole life. I've always known you were close by." she then explained.
"...How?" Maleficent asked as she started walking towards Aurora.
"Your shadow, it's been following me ever since I was small," Aurora explained. "Wherever I went, your shadow was always with me."
Diaval soon went to fly towards Maleficent as Aurora then saw him.
"I remember you," Aurora smiled at the black bird. "Pretty bird."
"This is Diaval." Maleficent introduced.
Diaval cawed before bowing with his wings spread out. Maleficent soon turned Diaval into his human form as Aurelia stood in the background. Aurora stepped back, surprised, but she smiled as she was still calm.
"Hello, Aurora," Diaval smiled at the girl before he approached her and kissed the back of her hand as he came to see her up close. "I have known you since you were a little one."
Aurora beamed as she was so excited to be here. "It's everything I imagined it would be," she then said. "Oh, it's just so beautiful! I've always wanted to come-"
Maleficent then decided to put Aurora back to sleep.
"What'd you do that for?" Chip asked.
"She's seen too much." Maleficent replied after she cast her magic.
"You will allow her to come back to visit, right?" Chip asked.
"Yes." Maleficent nodded.
"I'll show you back to the cottage." Aurelia told Maleficent.
"...All right." Maleficent nodded.
The two soon walked off together with Aurora floating behind them.
"Maleficent is getting too soft," Esabella tutted to herself. "Mother was right... At least the Prime Maleficent was always evil and had no good in her heart, if she even had one to begin with."
"This is getting interesting." Felicity said.
"Boy, I'll say." Chip nodded in agreement.
Esabella just rolled her eyes in the background as she thought out loud to herself.
The creatures of the Moors soon came out of hiding once they saw that Aurora was being taken away by Maleficent's magic. The thorny walls also began to open up as Aurelia walked out easily, relieved from the thorns a bit.
"Oh, it's starting to snow." Aurelia realized.
"Indeed." Maleficent said.
"Snow seems nice." Aurelia smiled.
"It can be... Most of the time..." Maleficent replied as they traveled together.
Aurora was soon levitated back into her bed in the cottage once Maleficent stopped walking.
"Good night, Beasty..." Maleficent whispered once she sent Aurora to bed.
"Guess I better get going too," Aurelia said as she went to the cottage. "Good night."
"Good night, Aurelia." Maleficent replied.
Meanwhile...
Stefan sat in his chamber staring at Maleficent's wings which were kept in a glass cabinet. "You mock me. I know what you're doing. I know exactly what you're doing." he then grumbled.
One of the servants soon opened the door and stood by the doorway. "Sire? Your presence has been requested by the Queen." he then called to his superior.
"Leave me." Stefan glowered.
"Sire, she is not well," The servant frowned. "The nurses are fearful that she won't make it through the night."
"Shh... Can you not see we're having a conversation?" Stefan shushed.
The servant soon looked across the room, then shut the door to the chamber.
Stefan then stood up and walked over the glass cabinet. "When the curse fails, Maleficent will come for me," he then said to himself hopefully. "And on that day, I will be ready."
Back with Maleficent and the others, Esabella looked over to Felicity and Chip who were asleep and she soon went off to sneak away somewhere else.
Chip opened one eye as he saw her and went to try to follow after her. "Now what is she up to?" he then asked himself.
Esabella walked deeper and further into the forest as she took out a glowing rose from her dress pocket.
"That rose..." Chip whispered to himself. "It looks so familiar."
"Time to check in with Mother..." Esabella told herself as she plucked one of the glowing rose petals and dropped it into the water she stood in front of as she began to use her magic to contact her mother.
After a short while, the magic soon began to work as the water showed Esabella's mother in the reflection. Esabella smiled before frowning firmly as she turned her head, feeling that she heard something. Chip hid behind a tree to make sure he wouldn't be seen or heard.
"What is it, my child?" Circe asked as she appeared.
"I thought I heard something, but it was probably one of those ugly little animals," Esabella said before turning around and faced her mother's image in the water. "Anyway, I'm here for my report... This Maleficent has high potential for evil and she's even encountered Sleeping Beauty... But she doesn't seem to be as vicious and cruel as her Prime counterpart."
"Hmm... Well, the universe you are in is an alternate universe so it would make sense that Maleficent is not as vicious and cruel as the Prime counterpart." Circe said.
"But you will be happy to know that I placed a spell on Felicity." Esabella smirked.
Chip gasped as he overheard that, but tried his best to stay quiet as he listened in on the two.
"Interesting..." Circe smirked back at her daughter. "You were able to cast it without flaws?"
"Yes, and no one really suspects anything yet, except for maybe that teapot's son," Esabella replied. "Though I was able to corrupt her like you did with her father during Prince Beast's enchantment before he met Belle and those adventurers."
"I'm really impressed, my little enchantress," Circe approved. "Maybe that'll work out after all if Felicity stays evil and rebels against her family when you return after your adventure is over."
"Yes and best of all, she hasn't gone looking for the final fairy trapped as a gem." Esabella smiled.
"What?" Chip whispered to himself with a glare.
"Speaking of which... Do you plan to do the same to Aurelia?" Circe asked her daughter.
"That, I am thinking about as well, especially since Aurelia is nothing like her Aunt Nettle," Esabella replied. "She's become quite a nuisance to me, especially since she left us to look after Sleeping Beauty with this world's Three Good Fairies... Who are really terrible caretakers by the way."
"Really? Well, it would have made it easier if Aurelia hadn't helped them." Circe said.
"Oh, I agree." Esabella nodded.
"You're becoming a wonderful little Enchantress," Circe said in approval. "I'm sure The Queen of Darkness is smiling from afar in her ancient world wherever she is right now."
"Will I get to meet her?" Esabella smirked.
"If all goes well in the end, of course," Circe nodded. "I'm sure she'll be excited... Especially for what she has planned for the mute dwarf's son and The Evil Queen's daughter in a land far different from The Disney Kingdom."
"Excellent." Esabella smirked.
"So she is responsible for what happened to Felicity." Chip whispered to himself.
Esabella turned her head again.
"I must go now, my dear, but congratulations on your best efforts." Circe told her daughter.
"Thank you, Mother," Esabella said as she bowed her head. "I'll keep doing what I must do so that we can all be happy, even if we have to wipe away the other Descendants of Disney in the progress. We failed with the others, but we might still have a chance, especially with the rate that Felicity is going."
"Yes and this will show that true love won't save the day this time." Circe smirked.
Chip narrowed his eyes. "I knew I recognized her." he said to himself.
Esabella soon signed off from her mother before she shot a blast of magic, trapping Chip in a bubble. Chip yelped and struggled.
"Teacup..." Esabella smirked as she walked over and levitated him with the magic bubble, moving it with her hand. "So interesting to see you~"
"You're the daughter of Circe!" Chip glared. "When I free Felicity from your spell and team up with Aurelia, we'll be sure to find the last Good Fairy!"
"Oh, like you're going to free Felicity from my mother's enchantment?" Esabella smirked. "Please... She used the same enchantment on Maestro Forte which was what made him angry and jealous of Belle all those years ago during the first Christmas celebration in 10 years in your home."
"I will save her and stop you," Chip glared. "Good always wins."
"Yes, how very boring, especially for the child of a villain," Esabella rolled her eyes. "This spell came from another reality... A reality that no one knows about... A different enchanted forest with different characters or friends your girlfriend's mother and her friend had met... No one can save her... Not even 'twoo wuv'." she then added mockingly.
"Evil never wins which is why in the end that I am positive that King Stefan will lose." Chip glared.
"The good King Stefan who wanted to protect his daughter?" Esabella smirked.
"This King Stefan is not good," Chip narrowed his eyes. "He's a terrible man... He took Maleficent's wings away."
"Yes, how dare he steal from a villainess who deserves to not have a happy ending... Isn't that right?" Esabella taunted. "You heroes are all alike, I swear."
"That's not true!" Chip glared. "I swear somehow, someway, I will foil your plan with help from Felicity and Aurelia!"
"Oh, yeah? And how are you going to do that? Help from a Pokemon?" Esabella smirked.
"Maybe I will, maybe I won't, either way you'll be stopped," Chip glared. "Who even is this Queen of Darkness anyway?"
"I bet you'd like to know." Esabella chuckled.
"Yes, I would!" Chip demanded.
"Too bad that I'm not gonna tell you or who the other Queens of Darkness are," Esabella smirked. "I should enchant you into a teacup and maybe stomp on you and shatter you like what should've happened when my mother cursed you and your family and Prince Adam."
They soon heard something moving in the forest behind Esabella.
"I don't know what that is, but I better get out of here," Esabella said as she narrowed her eyes at the bushes before smirking at Chip. "Good luck trying to be the hero of this adventure, Teacup."
"Don't call me that!" Chip complained.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Esabella smirked as she walked off.
Chip soon heard whatever it was moving in the forest coming towards him. He braced himself as he tried to keep calm and took some deep breaths, preparing for whoever or whatever it was. He just hoped it wasn't as bad as Esabella, The Enchantress, or even Maleficent herself. Soon enough, something came out and freed Chip from the bubble as he landed on the ground, he looked to see that it was a wild Pokemon.
"Who are you?" he then asked once he saw the Pokemon.
The Pokemon stepped out a little, resembling a bit of a green-colored chimp, brown tail and ears, and orange limbs and snout.
"Hi there, little guy," Chip said to the Pokemon as he sat on his knees, trying to be calm and gentle. "My name's Chip. What's your name?"
"Grookey." The Pokemon spoke to him.
"Well, thank you Grookey for helping me out of that bubble." Chip smiled.
"You're welcome." Grookey smiled back.
"You're by yourself out here, huh?" Chip guessed.
"I don't have much of a family anymore." Grookey frowned.
Chip frowned back and soon patted Grookey on the head. "Maybe you can hang around me for a little while," he then suggested. "I've seen a lot of Pokemon like you around, especially around my girlfriend and her cousins, but I've never had my own before."
Grookey soon went up to Chip and nuzzled up to him.
"I'll take that as a yes." Chip smiled.
"Where are we going now?" Grookey asked before Chip yawned.
"Probably back to sleep," Chip replied. "Oh, Grookey, it's been a little crazy for me and my future wife lately."
"I hope that I can be apart of your family." Grookey then said.
"I'll make sure of it." Chip smiled as he picked up Grookey and went to take him back to where he, Felicity, and Esabella slept while Maleficent slept in her own private space.
Once they arrived where Felicity and Esabella were sleeping, Chip and Grookey began to get some sleep. Esabella glanced over as she narrowed her eyes, but she kept sleeping through the night until the next morning came.
