30 Worlds: Megaforce, Episode XIII: "The Doctor and the Descendants"
CHAPTER FIVE
William and Jason approached Dragon Hall, the lone school on the Isle of the Lost. "Gloria is here," Jason said to William.
William activated his tactical eyepiece and accessed his PDA. On the eyepiece's display, William brought up the file.
Name: Gloria
Identity and Relationship to Villainous Parent: Daughter of Mother Gothel
Height: 5'3''
Weight: 114 lbs
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Jade Green
"Mother Gothel, huh?" William said. "You know of her?" Jason said. "Of course," William said. "She kidnapped Princess Rapunzel of Solaria when she was a baby and raised her as her own. Seemed that Rapunzel absorbed the healing powers of a strange flower that the King of Solaria used to heal his pregnant wife. Gothel had been using the power to keep herself young."
"I'm flattered that you have heard of me," a voice behind William and Jason said. William and Jason turned and saw Mother Gothel standing behind them. "Headmistress," Jason said, nodding his head in respect. "Mr. Sykes," Gothel said. Her eyes turned towards William. "Who is this?" she said.
"This is Prince William of the Kingdom of Cinnabar," Jason said. "He is the new head of the D.P.S.C." "The Descendants Project Selection Committee," William said. "Mother Gothel, I am here to speak to your daughter, Gloria."
"Why?" Gothel said. "Has she been selected for this year's class?" "Yes, ma'am," William said. "Evil Queen herself recommended Gloria for this year's class."
"Alright, then," Gothel said. "I'll take you to her."
Gothel led William and Jason to the library, where Gloria was reading a book. Gloria looked up from the book when she heard the library door open. "Hello, Mother," Gloria said. "I have been studying, like you said I should."
"That's not why I am here, my daughter," Gothel said, gesturing to William. "This is Prince William of Cinnabar, the head of the Auradon Descendants Project Selection Committee. He's here to speak to you."
William nodded at Gloria. "Gloria, Evil Queen has personally selected you for this year's class of D.P.S.C. beneficiaries," William said. "This is Jason Sykes. He's another recepient."
"You're Bill Sykes' kid," Gloria said. "Yeah," Jason said. "Gloria, listen to me," Gothel said.
Gloria turned from William and Jason to face her mother. "I want you to listen to Prince William at all times," Gothel said. "I learned my lesson here on the Isle. I just want you to prove it to them."
"Yes, Mother," Gloria said. "I shall do my best to please you." William smiled at Gloria. "Then, pack your gear, Gloria," William said. "We'll depart as soon as we gather the remaining three beneficiaries."
Gloria nodded and left the library. "Please take care of her, Prince William," Gothel said. "I swore to King Benjamin that I would protect all of the D.P.S.C. beneficiaries-with my life, if need be," William said.
"SInce your daughter is one now, the promise covers her as much as Jason or any of the others," William added. "Thank you, William. That means so much to me," Gothel said.
As William and Jason left Dragon Hall, Gloria walked up to them. "Prince William, a moment or your time, sir," she said. "Anytime, Gloria," William said. "There is a young man that I am in a relationship with," Gloria said. "I'd like to know if he's in the program."
"I'm sorry, Gloria, but according to the D.P.S.C. Charter, the identities of the Descendants are only allowed to be known to the King of Auradon, the leader of the Isle of the Lost and the head of the D.P.S.C.," William said. "Any of the three can reveal the identities, but it is up to them to do so. I just want to keep the identities secret until all five are gathered."
"I see," Gloria said. "Sorry for being so persistant." "No problem, Gloria," William said. "See you later."
Gloria walked out of William's eyesight. "William, we need to get to work," Jason said. "If what you told me is accurate, The Master will be here at any moment."
William nodded, then called up a file on the next subject they needed to find.
