"Ben!" I called as we roamed the halls of Beast's Castle. "Come on, Ben!"
"This way!" Dude declared.
"Ben could be anywhere in the Castle, asleep."
"Or turned to stone." Celia added.
"Ok…" Uma muttered, wrapping her arm around Celia's shoulders and placed her hand over our younger sister's mouth.
"Ben!" I shouted, taking a step forward.
"I got a scent, very pungent cologne, easy to track." Dude said. "Follow me people."
"That's great Dude." Jay complimented,
"FYI, I give great cuddles too."
"Really?" Gill asked as we all moved forward, "I never had a pet growing up. Except for the eld head in Dad's man-cave but that's not really-"
"Wait a minute." Morgan interrupted. They pointed to a ruined map of Auradon that was hanging on the wall. There were claw marks across the wood of the wall. "What in Hades is this?" Carlos stepped forward,
"Uh...any chance this was already there?" Carlos asked. I shook my head.
"And follow me!" Dude declared before scampering off. We all followed behind him. I was calling Ben's name the entire way. We soon made it to a hall filled with Armour.
"Stay here." Uma said, turning to Celia, "Just in case."
"Fine." Celia sighed. I walked into the hall, looking around the hall.
"Hey Sophia, bet you were tossing and turning every night thinking about me on the loose." Morgan taunted.
"No…" I mused, "I didn't even know you had left the Isle until Dad mentioned it. But, I always wondered what octopus tastes like."
"Ok, why do we not do this?" Evie sighed.
"So you wanna eat yourself?" Morgan laughed. "Also, why don't we split up to look for the prissy pink princess?"
"I believe we're being challenged." Harry commented.
"I'm a fish, not an octopus. And no, we're not splitting up, it makes no sense." I argued. "Unless you give Mal back her Ember, Audrey has full reign to spell you."
"People!" Harry barked. Causing us to turn to him. "We have a situation here." Harry gestured to the suit of armour in front of us. Only then, I noticed the pink haze around the armour.
"You like a Prince, Sophia?" Audrey's voice echoed through the suit, "How about a knight in shining armour? Or knights?" Audrey started to crackle as the armour around the room came to life.
Everyone -
Watch your back, watch your back
Watch your back, watch your back
We can counter their attack hit 'em 'til the armor cracks
Morgan -
This could get a little sticky
How to win this battle could be tricky but I know the best way
Fall back let me lead, you hold the line
And we'll bring them to their knees
Sophia -
Swords in the air if you're with me
They got us outnumbered one to fifty
But victory is ours 'cause I got a strategy, you take the left
And the rest of you can follow me
This is my crew

This is my turf

Watch your back, watch your back
We can counter their attack
Hit 'em 'til the armor cracks
Girls and Morgan -
Until the night falls, we're aligned
It doesn't mean that we're on the same side
Everyone -
Watch your back, watch your back
Watch your back, watch your back
Hit 'em hard and hit 'em fast
They're too heavy to react
Sophia -
This situation's getting kinda heavy
Hold your weapons tight keep 'em steady
'Cause if we stick together we can make it out alive
I'll cause a distraction, you attack them from the side
Morgan -
All my soldiers stand at the ready
We can cut 'em up like a confetti
We'll hit 'em from the front, you counter from behind
Don't forget the fate of Auradon's on the line
Everyone -
This is all out war, they got us outnumbered
The way the swords clash is the sound of the thunder
Sophia -
And we are not going under, we will never run for cover
Everyone -
We battle for the victory and ride for each other
Mal -
Until the night falls everyone
Girls and Morgan -

Until the night falls, we're aligned
It doesn't mean that we're on the same side
Everyone -
Back to back, back to back
Back to back, back to back
Hit 'em hard and hit 'em fast
They're too heavy to react
Uma and I shared a look and lifted our swords, infusing them with magic. We bought them down and they slammed into the sword of a suit of armour, causing a bolt of lightning to travel through them.
Sophia -
Suit of armor strong and true
Make this metal bust a move!
The Descendants of the Sea stepped onto the Dais in the middle of the room, swinging our hips in a synchronized dance. The shell necklace on my neck shone a faint teal as Uma, Morgan and I harmonised, moving our arms intracranially. Despite the hate our mothers had for each other, and the hate we had as well, they made us practice this in case of an emergency. What surprised me the most was when Celia joined in, singing in perfect pitch alongside us and joining in the dance. Well, more Siren Voices the better.
Evie -
Until the night falls, you can trust
Girls and Morgan -
I'm gonna help you win this battle because
Everyone -
I got your back, got your back
Got your back, got your back
All for one and that's a fact
Knights fall pitch black
When the armour had fallen, everyone cheered. I turned to Morgan and lifted my hand as they did. When we realised what we were about to do, we instantly dropped our hands. I glared at Morgan, my eyes turning blue. My eyes softened as I turned to Celia. "Come here Starfish." I pulled Celia towards me and hugged her. "How did you even know that song?"
"Dad told me to keep an eye on you and Uma." Celia started to explain, "Saw you practising it and...learned off that."
"Guys, come on. This was so great!" Evie stated. I turned to Morgan and gave them a blank stare. "We were a team, We worked together. Come on!" Evie pleaded. "You know what we should try? An ice-breaker." I sighed, my eyes rolling into the back of my head. "You say something you really like about the other person. Ok? I'll start." There is an overwhelming sense of time pressure but Evie decides to do ice-breakers. "Harry. Great accent. Now you go."
"Is she always this perky?" Morgan asked, looking past Evie so her gaze landed on me.
"It wasn't really your turn, but thank you."
"Ok, Evie, come here." Mal said, pulling Evie towards us.
"Yeah."
"E, we love you." I started,
"I love you guys too." Evie said happily.
"We love this energy, but we're very short on time." Mal finished. "Audrey clearly knows that we're here and we need to get out of here ASAP."
"Alright, where does this cheerleader bunk down?" Uma asked, crossing her arms. "Even if she's not there, we might be able to find some sort of clue as to where she is."
"Actually, she's still in the dorms." Evie revealed.
"You're right, because of Summer School!" Mal realized.
"What?" Harry laughed, "Summer School? Summer? School? No wonder she wants revenge!"
"Ok." I huffed, "Boys, you go and find Ben, ok? We'll meet back at Evie's place in two hours, ok? No more, no less."
"Wait, this sounds like my plan." Morgan commented, "Just sayin'."
"Ok, right now, Morgan, it's the obvious plan."
"Morgan said it first!" Gill pointed out.
"Exactly. So it's my plan." Morgan stated.
"Who in Hades cares?" I asked, turning on my heel and walking out of the room.
