"Alright girls. We're going to free them from the villains. This time, they've crossed the line." Aurora firmly stated as the princesses were flying in the V formation.
"Maleficent will pay." Mulan angrily implied. The clouds were getting thicker now and started becoming a hint of green.
"There's her castle!" Aurora pointed down on Maleficent's ruins of a castle. The girls swooped down and planted their feet right down, at the front of the entrance. Maleficent's castle loomed over them. Maleficent's tower, behind the castle, was taller than any other structure in the area. The girls stood tall, and looked as if they were staring down the building. Lightning struck the skies, and Rapunzel gulped. "Let's go." Aurora ordered. The gates opened as if they were expected to arrive. The princesses confidently strode in with determined looks on their faces. There was nobody at the entrance hall. Upon entering the dark, cold, walls of Maleficent's home, there was a staircase that led lead up to a brightly, lit up room. That staircase lead them immediately to the throne room. The room was massive, and all around were curtains, lining the wall. There was a green bonfire, right in the center of the circular chamber. Around the bonfire were Maleficent's demons, dancing around. Cinderella motioned them behind a wall for them to hide behind. Seven of the girls followed instruction. Rapunzel and Snow White didn't listen and leaned in to have a better look, Mulan and Tiana pulled them back with them. The girls peaked at the sight, keeping their heads low. Not only were there demons, but Hook's pirates, some of Shan Yu's men, Scar's hyenas, shadow creatures, and all of other villain's henchmen were all rejoicing with each other, and not in a pleasant way.
"They're all...together..." Ariel whispered.
"They've joined forces." Belle cleared up.
"This is bad." Rapunzel whispered back.
"No. In fact, it's actually really good." The princesses' eyes widened and looked around for who had said that. The slowly turned around and saw a figure standing behind them. "Hello darlings, who knew working in a team will be so much fun." the villain laughed.
"What's this here Cruella?" Scar and Zira came from the other side of the hall and saw the princesses.
"Nothing. Nothing at all," Cruella chuckled and walked over to the two lions, "Just tell Maleficent her guests have arrived." she whispered. At that moment, the sound of an explosion was heard. On the throne, sat Maleficent, smiling a rather, twisted smile. She was tapping her fingers on the arm rest, and watching the goons celebrate. While this was all occurring, the princesses were in the process pf quietly tiptoeing behind a curtain. Cruella saw them from the corner of her eye and pulled the rope of the curtain. The hanging drapery fell with a loud "THUD" and the princesses froze in their tracks. Every villain saw and stared. Maleficent stood up and clapped slowly.
"It seems as our special guests have arrived. Good work Cruella, I didn't know you'd actually be useful." As soon as she finished clapping, the raven Diablo perched on her right shoulder. Cruella scoffed and folded her arms. "Would all of you, put them in their intended seats." Maleficent ordered her goons. The princesses tried to break free as they were being held down, but there were too many of them. The goons put out the fire and placed the princesses in chairs used for torture. Each of them, facing a particular curtain.
"Oh they're here!" Mother Gothel appeared out of nowhere in a cloud of smoke. She stood next to a curtain, that was purple, and had the same symbol of the sun Rapunzel's kingdom bared. Lady Tremaine and Drizella stood in front of curtain that all rags and a bit torn, but it covered what was behind it well.
"My my..." Dr. Facilier stepped from the shadows and stood next to his green curtain. Every princesses' foe stood before a personalized curtain. The princesses were confused and looked at each other for reassurance, but didn't have any. All of the other villains watched in amusement.
"Now then, let's get on with the real entertainment." Maleficent spoke, and everybody quieted down.
"Oh goodie. Who's going first?" Ursula played along.
"There must be an introduction first." Jafar interrupted.
"Introduction it is." Queen Grimhilde looked over at Maleficent who rolled her eyes.
"Princesses, we are having a magic and game show, and you are our lucky participants." Maleficent announced. The villains watching cheered and slowly simmered down.
"Let's have dear Cinderella go first." Lady Tremaine remained in her monotone, evil expression.
"Alright. Present yourself." Maleficent bowed her head. Lady Tremaine eyed Cinderella, who was looking anxiously at the curtain behind her stepmother.
"Cinderella I will open this curtain, and you will see the prize intended for you," Lady Tremaine walked to the right of the drapery, and held the rope. "Curtain number one..." She pulled on the rope and revealed Prince Charming all tied up, wearing nothing but black pants and a torn up undershirt, and a band over his mouth to muffle his voice. Cinderella closed her eyes and had no intention of opening them as long as that was in her sight. The other princesses saw it too. Snow White cried out of fear, Aurora got angry, and Rapunzel cringed.
"I get this." Belle told her friends. This is despicable. She thought. Cinderella kept her eyes shut, and the tears were leaking out.
"We'll just go clockwise from her so, Shan Yu, you are next." Maleficent told him. Shan Yu didn't even pull the rope, he tore down the cloth from the wall and there was Shang, on his knees, with his wrists and ankles chained. Shan Yu snickered and walked towards him. He then proceeded to beat him in front of Mulan.
"No!" Mulan, out of anger, frantically tried to get out of her chair. She broke the ropes using her strength and went for the stairs. Shan Yu's men held her down and put her back in the chair, finally restraining her. Shan Yu was beating Shang pretty badly, Maleficent stopped him.
"Now, save some for later." She ordered. Shan Yu turned to her, then back to Shang. He gave him one last kick in the gut and walked away. "Now then..." Maleficent looked over to the princesses, then looked at Queen Grimhilde and smiled. The queen pulled the rope and Prince Florian was shackled to the wall.
"My love!" he called out to Snow White. Snow White shouted something back, but no one could hear it clearly, for she was making a scene. The two didn't want to see each other in pain, but the villains couldn't care less. Queen Grimhilde grabbed a whip from one of the weapons on the wall. Snow White immediately squeezed her eyes shut, forcing the tears out. She heard one...two...three whiplashes along with Florian's screams of pain.
"That is enough." Maleficent stopped her. Snow White was thanking Maleficent for stopping it, for she couldn't bare it. But inside her, she hated everything that was happening at the moment. "Again, you mustn't wear yourselves out so quickly." she stated. Snow White refused to open her eyes. There were six curtains left. The princesses braced themselves for what would happen, but they knew it wouldn't make much of a difference. Rapunzel was next. Tiana was telling her not to look when Mother Gothel opened to the curtain. There was Flynn. He was on his knees, with his arms out because of the chain, and his head hung.
"Eugene!" Rapunzel called out. Flynn slowly looked up, the room was a blur to him, but he could make out Rapunzel's face.
"Rapunzel!" he called out.
"Quiet you." Mother Gothel slammed him on the head with a wooden club. Rapunzel couldn't help but stare and gasp. After she hit him, she had a psychopathic smile across her face. "Alright who's next?' Mother Gothel asked, throwing the club aside as if it were nothing.
"Alright, Dr. Facilier..." Maleficent turned to him. He rubbed his hands together, and his shadow came from behind him. The shadow happily pulled down the rope and Naveen was in some sort of voodoo chair. Dr. Facilier then started chanting out some words at Naveen. Naveen started going out of mind and his soul was being summoned right out of him.
"Naveen!" Tiana called. Watching Naveen's soul being sucked right out of him was traumatic. It was as if he was slowly dying, his eyes slowly turned white and his movements became less sudden until he wasn't moving at all. Suddenly his soul quickly came back into him, and Dr. Facilier laughed.
"I believe that's just a preview." He high fived his shadow, who was laughing wickedly.
"Alright." Maleficent looked to the left, at her best friend and bowed her head. Ursula laughed and used one of her tentacles to pull the rope.
"Eric!" Ariel called out in distress. She tried squirming out of her chair. Eric was in a tank filled with electric eels surrounding him. Ursula managed to crawl over next to Ariel. "Look at that poor prince-y of yours, feeling the jolt?" Ursula held Ariel's face towards the tank, forcing her to watch him being tortured. Eric tried finding a way of getting out of the tank, and became moved more quickly at the sight of Ariel. He was being stung all over, eventually getting him to go unconscious. Ursula returned back to her spot and admired her nails. Ariel was crying her eyes out. He didn't deserve this, none of the princes did. She wished it was all over.
"The show must go on!" Maleficent laughed wickedly and raised her arms up. All of the villains laughed, cheered, and jumped around excitedly.
"I can't take this." Jasmine whispered to Belle.
"Just...don't look." Aurora whispered to them.
"How can I do tha-" Jasmine was interrupted by a cough. It was Gaston, who was looking over at Belle. He started acting stud around her and Bell felt disgusted. She turned away quickly.
"I think you'd better pay attention Belle, you're in for a treat." Gaston tug on the rope and revealed Adam who was trying his hardest to free himself from the chains. His wrists were almost bloody from him trying to slip through. "What will you do now, Beast?" Gaston spat. "No matter what you look like, to me, you will always be, The Beast!" Gaston beat him like a rag doll. Adam couldn't do anything but think that he was taking these hits for Belle. Belle tried steal glances, but she just could not bare to watch. "I hope you're watching Belle!" Gaston called out as he punched Adam across the face. Belle was weeping, and Jasmine joined her.
"Enough!" Maleficent stopped him and pointed to Jafar. "We're running short on time, you, go!" she shouted. Jasmine panicked inside her head upon hearing this. Aladdin was next. Tears started pouring out of her face like a nonstop waterfall.
"Are you okay princess?" Jafar mocked, and laugh his maniacal laugh. "All we are doing is, exterminating the street rats!" Jafar pulled down the curtain and revealed Aladdin in his street clothes, without his little fez. He managed to get the cover over his mouth off of his face and shouted.
"Jasmine!" he called out. Jafar then shot him magic from his staff.
"Aladdin!" Jasmine screamed from the top of her lungs. She turned her head, up at Maleficent who was staring down at her. "Please! Take me, do anything, let him go! Just don't hurt him!" Jasmine completely lost it. She had an expression of imense pain on her face, and the tears just kept coming and coming.
"Jasmine no!" Aladdin yelled back at her, then was shot again by Jafar. Jasmine tried getting out of the chair, but only managed to bring her, and her seat down. She cried harder as she hit the floor. But Jasmine didn't care if her face hurt from hitting the floor, she just wanted Aladdin safe. But all this helpless princess could do, was sob.
"Cry all you want princess! Nothing will save your Prince Abu-bu now!" Jafar laughed maniacally as he continuously struck Aladdin with shots from his staff. After exactly a minute, every single villain was quiet. They were all looking towards Maleficent, who was looking down, straight at Aurora. The only sound that could be heard were the sobs of the eight princesses. Aurora knew what was coming, and was glaring up at Maleficent. It was like the two were having a stare-down contest with each other, and nothing could get in their way. Without taking her eyes off of Aurora's, Maleficent snapped her fingers, and her goons opened the curtain for her. Aurora didn't look away from Maleficent, but know what was behind her. The other princesses gasped. Prince Phillip was shackled to the wall, in the worst condition than any of the other princes. The princesses didn't want to say anything to Aurora, who was still locked on to Maleficent's eyes. Maleficent finally spoke,
"Take them away, to their own separate chambers." Maleficent stood tall and was still looking at Aurora. The minions took the wailing princesses away to their own chambers. As Aurora was being taken away, she still kept her eyes on Maleficent. She shook her head at the mistress and the tears flowed down as she glowered at her enemy.
