Firstly, I want to say I'm sorry this took so long to go up, I'll explain why at the end. Until then enjoy.
Jay, Carlos and Hugh all exited the Limo, and walked into Auradon Prep as quiet as they could, they would look very suspicious if anyone saw them getting out of the Limo.
"Hugh, are you alright?" Carlos asked Hugh concerned, he hadn't said a word since they got into the Limo, and he had the same angry look on his face the entire way to the school.
"I'll be fine once I bet Harry" Hugh responded.
Carlos and Jay shared a worried look, they hadn't seen Hugh like this in a while. They wanted to help but they knew it would be useless, it's very difficult to get Hugh out of his anger, unless you're a certain mermaid. The boys walked down the hall to their dorm. The second Dude saw his owner, he ran towards him with glee. Carlos picked up Dude and gave him a tight hug.
"Sorry I was gone so long boy, Ben got captured and that complicated things" he said.
Jay looked down the hall and noticed their door open. The boys looked at each other confused as they walked to their room. They stood in the doorway, when they saw what was inside they rolled their eyes and sighed in annoyance. Chad was once again using their 3d printer.
"You've got to be kidding me" Carlos said sounding very angry.
Chad turned around and faced the VKs who's room he was invading. "I knocked" he said awkwardly.
Carlos held out his hand with a stern look. Chad reluctantly took the key to their room out of his pocket and gave it to Carlos.
"What is that?" Jay asked looking at what was in the 3d printer.
"Oh, that's a Chad action figure" Chad said the picked it up and held it close to the three boys. "Well, minus the head"
"Oh cool, let me see" Hugh said with fake cheer, before grabbing out of Chads loose grip. He easily snapped it in two "There now you have two"
"Murderer" Chad said looking at the broken toy as if it was a real person.
Carlos pushed Chad out of the way and started 3d printing the wand. Chad was looking over Carlos' shoulder and saw him start the printing.
"Why are you guys making a replica of the wand?" He asked. Unbeknownst to anyone in the room, Lonnie was walking past the open door, and overheard them mention the wand. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she started eavesdropping.
The boys couldn't think of a good lie, they just let out "Ums" and "Uhs"
"Ben's been captured" Dude blurted out.
The dog's words shocked everyone who heard them.
"I was stalling" Carlos told Dude annoyed.
"I thought you forgot" he argued back
"What?" Chad said. "And wait, Dude can talk?"
"Don't tell anyone, Ben's life depends on it" Jay said affirmatively.
When Lonnie heard about the risk Ben was in, she left to go get her best sword.
"Okay. But if something bad were to happen, who do you think would be next in line for king?" Chad asked smugly, referring to himself.
"Is it just me or is that in really bad taste" Jay said dismayed at Chad's statement.
Hugh grabbed the Chad by the collar of his shirt, luckily for Chad he was being gentle, and escorted him out of his room and slammed the door on him when he was mid-sentence.
"Thank you" Carlos and Jay said.
They started the 3d printing process and stood there, waiting.
"I forgot how long it takes" Jay complained.
"I'm going to get some swords to bring" Hugh said before leaving
Hugh entered the workshop, where he kept all the swords he made. He looked at them all for a while, "Which one of these is the sharpest" he thought. Hugh grabbed the sharpest and strongest swords, he could find, put them in a bag, and slung it over his shoulder. He left the workshop and walked through the halls alone, still thinking of what he will do to his brother when he see's him. As he walked, he caught a glimpse of himself in one of the mirrors in the hall that, a certain daughter of a sleepy queen insisted be put up so she didn't have to go to the bathroom all the time to look at herself. Hugh looked at his reflection and was appalled at what he saw. The angry expression, the balled fists, the many weapons he was carrying, he had turned back into his old self. He was no longer angry at Harry; he was angry at himself for embracing his old rage because of Harry. "This isn't right, this isn't what I learned in Auradon, I learned to let my rage go, that's what I should have done but I didn't, this is why Melody would hate your past" he thought to himself. Suddenly, he heard the very girl he was talking about from beyond the corner. Melody was walking down the hall to her dorm, with her dorm mate. Hugh stayed silent; he didn't want her to see her like this.
"How are things going with Hugh?" her Dorm mate asked.
Hugh bit his lip in anticipation, for Melody to saw how bad their relationship was.
"Actually, really good" Melody said cheerily.
After hearing that, Hugh was struck with confusing and shock.
"He hasn't told me much about his life on the Isle or his childhood" Melody said "most people would find it hard to get to know someone who kept that stuff to themselves but, I get it. He grew up on the gruesome Isle of the lost, he's the son of the most feared pirate, It's totally normal that he doesn't want to talk about it. I just keep asking him, because I want him to know he can trust me, and my opinion on him wouldn't change if he told me. I mean, I love him"
Hugh felt a tear slide down his check and a smile linger on his face. He wanted to run out there and kiss Melody, but Ben needed him, the kiss would have to wait until Ben was safe. When he heard the door to Melody's room close, Hugh walked back to his dorm, prepared to face his brother with a different approach. When Hugh walked into his room and saw his two friends asleep, and the fake wand was finished. He woke his friends up, and they took the fake wand and headed back to the limo.
"I want to come" Dude said before they left
"No, you stay here" Carlos said with authority.
When they were outside, they pumped into Doug. Carlos quickly hid the fake wand behind his back.
"Hey guy's have you seen Evie?" the son of a dwarf asked.
"Uh, she went camping" Jay said quickly, then instantly regretted what he said, he knew that lie was unbelievable.
"Evie went camping. Evie as in I want to live in a castle sleeping on the ground with no place to plug in a hair dryer" Doug said with skepticism.
"You know how spontaneous she is" Carlos said with a fake smile.
"Yeah, one minute she's all strutting down a runway, the next setting a campfire by lighting hair extensions on fire" Hugh said backing up his friends lies.
The three VKs backed away with fake laughs, thankfully Doug wasn't persistent and left. When they turned around, they saw Lonnie standing in front of them with a strict look.
"I'm coming with you guys" she said.
"What, we don't need you with a sword at the waffle hut" Jay said. He knew that was a bad lie by the way Carlos and Hugh looked at him.
"You're going to the Isle to rescue Ben. Look it's either you bring me or, I'll tell fairy god mother" Lonnie said.
The boys didn't say anything, they just sighed defeated and signalled for Lonnie to follow them. Lonnie did just that with much excitement.
Hugh, Jay, Carlos and Lonnie, pulled up on the Isle where they decided to meet with Mal and Evie. The girls were a bit nervous about this fight. When they saw Hugh, Jay and Carlos exit the limo, their nerves were calmed slightly. When they saw Lonnie exit they were shocked. Evie didn't saw anything when she saw the daughter of Mulan, she was too surprised to speak.
"Lonnie?" Mal said.
"HI. I made them bring me" Lonnie said, explaining her arrival.
Jay covered the limo with the tarp, while Hugh and Carlos got the swords out of the trunk. When they opened the trunk, they saw a familiar face.
"Great. A stow away" Hugh said, annoyed Dude the dog managed to sneak on the Isle,
"You were supposed to stay" Carlos scolded his dog.
"I got worried for you" Dude said.
Carlos near instantly forgave Dude after he said that. He knew how to tug at Carlos' heart strings. Now the five VKs and Lonnie stood in a circle in silence for a few seconds, they were all nervous for this fight. Carlos was the first to speak.
"Here's the wand" He passed the wand to Mal.
"Wow. It's uncanny" She smiled optimistically. "Let's go"
The friends waked down to pirate's bay, grave expressions on their faces and holding their hidden weapons tight. They approached Uma's ship, the lost revenge, Gil spotted them from the crows nest and announced their arrival with glee, the pirate crew were dancing around psychotically, trying to intimidate the VKs.
"Welcome!" Harry shouted excited for this fight.
"Finally," Uma said with delight.
Harry eyed his brother as he walked towards the ship with a grin, he expected him to be staring back at Harry with rage and fury, but Hugh only glanced at him once, calm and unfazed. Uma and Mal got into a lyrical spat. Both insulting each other cruelly. The VKs and the pirate crew joining in once or twice, challenging each other to put their swords up, and fight. The fight hit its peak when Mal walked towards Uma, the wand in her hand and anger in her eyes. She only stopped when Ben called her name. He begged her not to fight Uma and tried to persuade Uma to stop this fight and come to Auradon. Uma being herself refused and her and her crew continued to diss and taunt Mal and her friends. The verbal argument ended, now the VKs and the pirates stared each other down, trying to be intimidating. Mal reached out her hand to give the wand to Uma.
"Hold up" Uma said suddenly, "I want to see it work first, and nothing to big or Ben is fish bait" when she said that Harry grabbed Hugh by the collar and held him over the water.
Mal turned around to her friends nervously, she had no idea what to do, her friends just looked back at her just as nervously.
"We're dead" Carlos whispered.
"Yup" Hugh agreed.
"shush It'll be fine" Evie said.
"No it won't" Jay added.
"Are you guys always this pessimistic?" Lonnie asked
Then in the corner of her eye, Mal noticed Dude walk up on an upper landing. Seeing him gave Mal an idea, for once she was thankful Dude flunked obedience class. She waved the wand at Dude and spoke.
"Although it sounds absurd, turn you're bark into a word"
Dude didn't say anything, Uma and her crew got even more suspicious.
"Talk dog" Mal whispered.
"Does this vest make me look fat?" Dude said.
Uma was shocked when she heard the canine talk, her crew cheered when they realized they had the real wand.
"Give me the wand" Uma demanded.
"Give me Ben" Mal shouted.
"Harry. Bring him here" Uma said.
"I never get to have any fun" Harry mumbled as he walked Ben to Uma. When he walked over to Uma Gil was passing on a message from Gaston for Belle and Beast. Mal and Uma counted down from three, the second they said one, they passed each other what they wanted. Mal and all her friends rushed away and prepared for the situation to escalate. Uma raised the wand in the air as her crew surrounded her.
"By the power of the sea tare it down and set us free" She shouted.
Nothing happened, Uma pulled the wand close to her and examined it, she noticed a crack in it, then she snapped it in two over her knee. She started to rage, it was a fake, everyone knows the real wand can only be broken by magic.
"You do not get to win every time" Uma screamed "Get them"
As soon as Uma said that the VKs took out their sling shots and smoke bombs and fired them at the large clusters of pirates. Some of them were so badly blinded by the smoke they stumbled and fell of the ship, that evened the odds a bit. Everyone paired off with someone. Hugh of course paired off with Harry. The two brothers circled each other like vultures, their swords were gripped tightly in their hand
"What's going on with you Hughy? You're not yourself, trouble in paradise?" Harry teased.
"No" Hugh said calmly "I'm just not going around like a raging bull"
"So Auradon did make you soft" Harry scoffed.
"No, it made me stronger. Because I knew something now" Hugh said before a pause. He looked directly into Harry's eyes; Harry felt a sudden ounce of fear at how serious Hugh was being
"You may be a part of my past, but you won't be a part of my future" Hugh finished.
Harry felt rage overcome him and spun toward his brother and slash down wards, Hugh stepped to the side and blocked Harry's strike. Harry tried to counter by striking Hugh in the stomach with his hook. Hugh grabbed the hook with his normal left hand, Harry's push was nearly strong enough to power through Hugh's block, but it wasn't. Hugh pulled Harry's hook to the left causing Harry to spin around, but he kept his balance and stayed on his two feet, then quickly turned back to face him. Just in time to see Hugh swing his sword low at Harry's shins, but he jumped over the sword and countered with an overhead downward slash. Hugh blocked it kneeling on one knee. Harry kicked Hugh in the chest hard enough to knock him on his back. Harry tried to stab Hugh, but Hugh rolled out of the way, leaving Harry's sword stuck in the wooden plank. Hugh shot back up on his two feet, elbowing Harry in the ribs with his metal arm. Harry released his sword from the wood and slashed his hook at Harry. Hugh dodged the slash then trusted his sword at his brother. Harry parried the sword to the left then tried to slash upwards, but Hugh used the momentum of Harry's parry, to change the movement of his sword upwards to block Harry's strike. Harry tried to punch Hugh with his hook but Hugh took his metal arm off his sword handle and caught Harry's hook under his armpit. The hook was now stuck between Hugh's steel arm and his ribs. Hugh headbutted Harry knocking him back and making his nose drip a few drops of blood. Harry ran at Hugh, jumped on the railings of the docks, slashed down with his sword and punched with his hook. Hugh was only able to block the sword, Harry's hook hit him across the jaw. Hugh spit out a small splash of blood. The two brothers continued to slash, strike, stab, parry, deflect, dodge, punch and kick at each other, grunting after every action with exhaustion. Sweet and blood jumped off their bodies when they made sudden movements. After a few dodges, Harry seemed to get the upper hand. Hugh was leaning against the railing, Harry pushing his sword against Hugh, holding his sword sideways with his weaker left hand while his metal hand held Harry's hook hand. Harry started to giggle, he was sure he would finally finish this fight, but suddenly, Hugh screamed an adrenaline powered scream. Hugh took Harry's hook and stuck it in the wooden railing. Then he got the top of Harry's sword in his metallic hand, and with the remaining strength he could muster, snapped it. Harry just stared at his broken sword in shock. Hugh took this opportunity to kick Harry in the knee knocking him onto his good knee. Hugh, pressed his sword against his brothers neck. When Harry felt the cold steel against his skin, he inhaled and closed his eyes, preparing for what Hugh would do. Then Harry felt the feel of the sword leave his neck, and he heard Hugh whisper "No" under his breath to himself. Harry didn't know how to process what just happened. Then he saw Hugh grab his hook and hold it over the water. Harry shot up and held out his hand, he was upset Hugh would through away his hook, especially since he knows why he wears it. Hugh dropped it into the water, intentionally close enough for Harry to get it while keeping him occupied. Harry instantly jumped into the water as the Hook dropped. Hugh ran to join the rest of his friends.
The VKs ran to the exist tunnel, not bothering to finish the fights, they improvised to just knocking and pushing people out of their way. As he ran Hugh heard something run up behind him. Hugh swiftly turned around and blocked a sword strike.
"Hey Hugh" Gil said strangely cheery for a man in a battle.
Hugh couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at Gil's constant innocents. "Hi" Hugh said.
Gil then uppercut Hugh very hard, knocking him against a railing. "Innocent by VK standards" Hugh thought to himself, before getting back up sweeping Gil's leg and pushing him into a few barrels. Hugh didn't know why, but he felt a bit bad for doing that, but he kept running to the exit. Jay and Lonnie were the first two through. Carlos tried to follow but was blocked by a pirate. That pirate blocking the exit lead to a block up, Carlos fought that pirate, Evie fought another, Mal fought Uma, and Ben fought the injured Harry. Hugh wasn't fighting at that moment, he then noticed Mal, struggling with Uma, so he rushed over to help his friend. He knocked Uma's sword away from Mal with his own.
"Back off Hugh. Stick with your own rival" Uma said enraged.
After she said that Mal pushed her into Harry. This gave Evie to perfect time to throw the last remaining smoke bomb. She threw it at the ground in front of the pirates, blinding them. The VKs ran over the bridge and through the tunnel, once everyone was past, Hugh punched the faulty bridge with his metal arm, causing it to collapse. Mal and Hugh stared back at their enemies. Mal gave Uma a cheeky chuckle before leaving, while Hugh looked at his brother with no emotion or remorse, before leaving.
The five VKs and the two AKs now sat in the Limo as it drives off the Isle. Unbeknownst to her, Mal had left something very important behind. Jay drove while talking to Lonnie, Carlos comforts Dude who was very worried if his owner would make it back to Auradon, Hugh held his wounds to relief some pain while Evie kept asking to look at them to see if he was okay, Hugh kept insisting he was fine, and he would be after a few painkillers. The former royal couple Ben and Mal sat in silence.
"I'm really sorry, that things didn't go the way you wanted them too" Ben broke the silence.
"I mean, as long as you're safe" Mal replied.
"Well at least I got to see the Isle. There my people too, Uma helped me see that" Ben said sounding upset.
"Ben, Uma captured you" Mal said seriously.
"She's an angry girl with a bad plan. That's not so different from you when you first came to Auradon Mal" Ben said.
Mal's mouth stayed agape, astonished at what Ben had said too her.
"Awkward" This time, it was Dude who was breaking the silence.
"Dude just because you can talk doesn't mean you should" Carlos whispered to his pooch.
Again, I'm sorry for how long it took me to go up, school has just been extremely busy recently. But regardless, please tell me what you thought of this chapter, it's always appreciated, and thank you for reading.
