Author's Note: Hey Guys, sorry about the delay, I know I said I would have this chapter uploaded last week, but my brother got sick and I have to take care of him, so I hope you understand, sometimes things are beyond our control, something I picked up from Casey Jones on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 series). So here's the final chapter, and you should know what happens in this one, or is it the same? Read and see for yourselves and make sure to look at the news at the bottom this chapter when you're done.
Chapter 4: What's it Gonna Be?
Today is finally the day, the day everyone's been waiting for. It's time for Ben's Coronation, the day he's finally gonna be King of Auradon. Everyone who's in schools, castles or even a playground is by the Auradon Cathedral. Confetti was everyone, people are hollered in cheer and The current King and Queen of Auradon are waiting for their son to attend. And it's all going live on tv with Snow White as the reporter.
"At last, here we are, broadcasting from the Coronation where Ben will soon be crowned king!" Snow White said.
The Isle of the Lost
Maleficent, Evil Queen, Cruella De Vil and Jafar are currently watching the live broadcast from the comfort of Maleficent's castle.
"I'm Snow White bringing you up to minute coverage of who's the fairest of them all."
Evil Queen threw some popcorn they were eating at the tv in anger.
"Oh who's she kidding? She had work done." She said.
Auradon Cathedral
On the carriage that's on the way to the church, Ben is now riding on it, surprising along with two other guest. It was Mal and Audrey, in the backseat together.
"Wow! You don't see that everyday!" Snow White said.
The Isle of the Lost
Maleficent, who's watching the broadcast, was surprised to see her daughter right behind the soon to be king and with some other girl, who for some reason looks familiar.
"I know he's the king, but who's that girl in that bright color?" Jafar asked.
"Yes." Maleficent said. "Who is that?"
"Well it looks like Ben has brought two girls, including Mal, to this very special day." Snow White said on tv. "And Mal's dress is made by…"
She looks at the card a crew member gave her and with a confused look, she answered, "Evie. It's made by Evie, whoever she is."
"Evie!" Evil Queen said. "That's my daughter, Evie!"
"Woohoo, you're daughter made a dress." Maleficent said sarcastically. "Meanwhile, my girl's duped a prince and is this close to grabbing the magic wand, it's happening people!"
Then she and the other three villains shared an evil laugh.
Auradon Cathedral
As Ben, Mal and Audrey continue to ride to the church, Ben turns to Mal to speak.
"You doing alright?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, I mean it's not like everyone hates me." Mal said.
"It was just a misunderstanding, they'll come around and also…"
Ben looks directly at both Mal and Audrey.
"I'm there for both of you, no matter what anyone says about the two of you. Honestly, I'm not really upset that you broke up with me." Ben says to Audrey. "I just want you to be happy, and I'm glad you could find it with Mal."
"Thanks Ben." Audrey said to Ben. "Also, I'm surprised you want both of us to be next to you."
"It's the least I can do, and actually, it was because of Mal."
"What?" Audrey said then looks at Mal.
"I didn't really do much." Mal said.
Flashback
It was evening and Ben was in the library, prepping for his big day. Suddenly, he looked up from where he was sitting and sees Mal, by a bookshelf, looking sad, at least that's what she wants to look.
"Hey Mal." Ben greeted.
Mal turns to see Ben's concerned face and greets him back. "Hey."
"How are you holding up?"
"Couldn't be better." Mal said.
"I'm sorry how things went down, that was no excuse of what Chad did." Ben said.
"Maybe he's right, I might've stolen Audrey from you and I just couldn't find a way to apologize."
"There's nothing to be sorry about. To be honest, I wasn't feeling that much for Audrey, but I feel like that you do, just like she does for you."
"That doesn't matter to her granny." Mal said.
"She doesn't understand, that's all. She'll come around."
"I hope so, I just feel sorry for her that she's gonna be with her grandma and during the whole thing, there's gonna be a lot of…awkwardness."
"Hmm…" Ben starts to think.
"What's on your mind?"
"What if she doesn't have to feel that way if she's with me and you?" Ben suggested.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what if you two stand beside me with my parents when I'm being crowned?"
"You do that?"
"I just want everyone to know that I'm on your side."
"Wow, thanks, Ben." Mal said. "I'm gonna find Audrey and tell her the good news."
"Alright, see ya, Mal." Ben said.
And with that, Mal leaves Ben's side and exits the library, with Evie, Jay and Carlos by the entrance who were listening in the conversation.
"I can't believe that worked?" Jay said.
"Was there ever a doubt?" Mal said smirking.
"A little surprised, really." Carlos said.
"Well you can stop being surprised because we've won and we'll finally get the wand."
Present
At the steps to the church, Ben steps off the carriage, along with Mal and Audrey, who he helped down. They ascended up the stairs, with the crowd applauding at the three Auradon Prep students. They reached to Ben's parents, while the guards blow their trumpets. Mal and Audrey bows to Queen Belle while she does the same for them.
"Look, about yesterday…" Mal starts to explain.
"No need." King Beast said. "I told Ben this wouldn't be easy."
"But you also told me that a king has to believe in himself, even if it isn't easy." Ben said.
"I did?" Beast said.
Belle slapped him lightly on his arm.
"Kidding." Beast said laughing a little.
"Girls." Belle said to Mal and Audrey. "It doesn't matter to me, as long as you care about each other."
"Of course." Audrey said then looks at Mal.
"Wouldn't be the same without her." Mal said then looks at Audrey.
"We're very proud of you Ben." Belle said while taking Ben's hands into hers. "You keep listening to your heart."
"Thanks Mom."
Inside the Cathedral
Everyone's inside the church, watching as Ben walks down the blue carpet, with people bowing down to him. Mal and Audrey were next to his parents, close by though, then Audrey notices her grandmother shooting dirty looks at her and Mal, with Audrey's parents' expressions were either concerned or disappointed, Audrey couldn't even tell. Mal feels bad for how things went down the other day, so she grabs her hand in support then Audrey looks at Mal with a sad smile. Jay, Evie and Carlos watches from above as they see the coronation taking place and seeing how close Mal and Audrey are.
Fairy Godmother walks up to soon to be formerly King Beast and removes the crown from his head. Once Ben reaches to them and got on his knees. Fairy Godmother goes to him with the crown in her hands and slowly puts it on the top of his head. Beast removes the glass case that's holding the wand and Belle gives the wand to Fairy Godmother so she can bless Ben with it.
"Do you solemnly swear to guide the people of Auradon, with justice and mercy, as long as you reign?"
Isle of the Lost
"Oh grab the thing already!" Maleficent said at the tv.
Cathedral
"I solemnly swear." Ben answered while on his knees still.
"Then it is my honor." Fairy Godmother raps on Ben's right shoulder with the wand. "And my joy." She taps his left one. "To bless our new king."
But then a hand swipes the wand from Fairy Godmother, making everyone gasped at the moment.
Isle of the Lost
"Yes! Yeeeesss!" Maleficent said.
Cathedral
The hands uses the wand and the magic cane out, went out through the ceiling and busts barrier that surrounds the isle, bringing it down.
Isle of the Lost
An earthquake like movement shakes the isle, along with the villains.
"The barrier's broken." Evil Queen said. "We're free!"
Maleficent opens her doors to the balcony and gets into position.
"Scepter, now!" Maleficent said.
Her scepter floats to her and she turns into a green mist and leaves her castle into the air on her way to Auradon.
"Ahhh, Hahahahaaaa!" Maleficent cackled.
Cathedral
The crowd takes cover as the person was waving the wand uncontrollably.
"Child what are you doing?!" Fairy Godmother said.
It turns out that the person is her daughter, Jane, who seems to be unable to control her mother's wand.
"If you won't make me beautiful, I'll do it myself!" Jane said. "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" But she keeps on turning in circles, with the wand frizzing out.
"Take cover!" Beast said to everyone.
Mal thought this is her chance and decides to grab the wand from Jane.
"Careful, Mal!" Belle said.
After some tugs, Mal finally got the wand then Jane runs back to her mother. Then Evie and the others run from the balcony to get to Mal.
"Mal." Ben said. "Give me that."
"Stand back." Mal said.
"Mal…"
"Ben I said stand back!" Mal warned him.
"I knew it! You're just like your mother!" Queen Leah said.
Mal pointed the wand at her, making her and the people behind her scoot back, while Mal's friend run through the doors.
"Alright, let's go!" Carlos said.
"Revenge time!" Jay said.
"Mal!" Audrey said. "What's going on? Why are you doing this?"
"Audrey, get back, please." Mal said.
"No. Please don't do this." Audrey said with sad eyes.
"We have no choice, Audrey! Our parents…"
"Your parents made they're choice and look where that's gotten them! You've got a choice right now, you may think you don't, but you do."
Mal looks around the church, seeing people are waiting in terror of what's to happen next. Mal thinks hard with the short time she has, but she decides what to do next eventually.
"I think…I wanna be good." Mal said.
"You are." Audrey said.
"How do you know that?"
"Because, I believe in you, it's what I'm heart's trying to say to me." Audrey said.
Mal was surprised at how much someone believes in her, so that when she thought she should believe in herself and turns to her.
"My heart's telling me that we are not our parents, is that what yours are saying?" Mal said.
She turns to Jay.
"You love playing tourney and victory pizzas."
Then to Carlos.
"And you love scratching Dude's belly."
Lastly, she turns to Evie.
"Evie, you're the smartest people I've known and you don't need a guy for that." Mal said. "Also, I've decided to go to school, and be with with Audrey." She turns to Audrey. "Because she really makes me happy." She smiles with tears down her face while Audrey does the same.
"Mal." Audrey said.
Mal walks to Audrey and plants a kiss on her lips while Audrey kisses her back, making the people clap and cheer for them, even Leah slowly claps for them.
Suddenly, the green mist came and darkened the place, revealing to be Maleficent.
"I'm back!" Maleficent said.
"Go away, mother." Mal said holding Audrey back.
"Hahaha, your silly." Maleficent laughed. "Now, wand me dear."
"No!" Ben said.
"I won't!" Mal said.
"What's this I hear? You won't?!" Maleficent said.
"That's right. I'm not letting you do this." Mal said.
"Really? You want Auradon to still stand? This isn't what you want."
"You don't know what I want!" Mal said. "Mom, have you asked me what I want? I'm not you." She starts to tear up."
"Oh honey, you'll get there, just takes a long time."
"I will not! I'm already where I'm at now." Mal said.
She takes Audrey's hand into her own, making it official in front of her mother, who's starting to get the picture.
"No!" Maleficent said. "How dare you?! You actually dating my enemy's daughter?! In all the years, I've never thought you stood this low to upset me!"
"I didn't do this to upset you, I did this because I love her!" Mal said.
Now Maleficent was getting mad, with her eyes glowing and her teeth showing.
"Oh, you're going to regret this, now give me that wand!" She said.
"Never!" Mal said.
"Then you leave me no choice!"
Maleficent disappears in the green mist, which got bigger, and then came out in her dragon form. She roars after the transformation, with the crowd hollering and screaming. Mal gets in front of Audrey to protect her while Maleficent's eyes glowed and everyone froze, except Mal, her friends, Dude and Audrey.
"Let's go." Carlos said.
The kids runs, but not without Maleficent flying to catch them and breathing fire. Audrey trips on her dress, landing on her face. Maleficent was about to breath fire on her, but Mal got in the way and says a spell.
"On the field, make a shield!" Mal said.
A purple force field protected Mal and Audrey from the fire. Evie got up to them and pulls out her mirror.
"Magic Mirror, shine your bright light!" Evie said.
The bright light shines to Maleficent's eyes and she can't see where she's going.
"Evie, behind me." Mal said and Evie does so. "Leave me girlfriend and friends alone!"
Maleficent lands and stares intensely at her own daughter.
"This is between you and me mother." Mal said.
She starts to say another spell.
"The strength of everything is good as non, when stands before four hearts as one!" Mal said three times.
As they still have there stare down, Maleficent turns to green mist and appears to be shrinking, making the church lit up once more.
"What just happened?" Audrey said.
"I dont know." Mal said helping Audrey up.
The five of them run up to Mal's mom to see that she's been turned into a gecko.
"You're mother shrank to the size of her heart, that's why she so tiny." Fairy Godmother said, somehow got herself unfrozen.
"Is she gonna be like this forever?" Mal asked.
"You learn how to love, so can she." Fairy Godmother answered.
"I think this belongs to you." Mal said handing her the wand.
Fairy Godmother waves it around and says, "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" And everyone is now unfrozen.
"Roar!" Ben said.
"It's ok, it's ok." Mal said laughing. "It's over."
"Oh, next time I save you." Ben smiled.
"Let's hope there's no next time."
Queen Leah comes up to Mal and the others, wondering what's she's gonna say. It turns out she wants to bow to Mal, then she smiled at her. Mal decides to do the same thing in return.
"I'm sorry." Leah said.
"It's ok." Mal said.
"You two belong together and I was standing in the way of that."
Leah brings Audrey and Mal's hands together.
"Love is love. I've forgot about along time ago when your mother met your father." She says to Audrey.
"And it's love that keeps you going, no matter what type of person." Sleeping Beauty said.
"Granny, Mom, Dad…" Audrey starts to tear up.
Her family hugs her in acceptance, and Mal went to help Jane with her mother, who was being furious with Jane and Mal explains herself.
"I'm sorry for making you feel this way, you're beautiful inside and out, with a great mom." Mal said to Jane.
"Yeah, I got lucky in that department." Jane said then laughed along with Mal and her mom.
Later that day, all the students went to an after party and danced the night away, with Mal and Audrey dancing together to the beat and with Mal's mom put away for good, the barrier fixed, it turned out to be the best day ever.
