Evie pulled out her magic mirror so that she could find Lonnie. She took a deep breath before asking it as Ben and Mal watched with bated breath, all hoping that it would be easy to find their friend.
"Mirror, Mirror, in my hand, where does my friend Lonnie stand?" She asked. They all watched as the mirror clouded up and then cleared to reveal Lonnie, looking sad. Next to her were Audrey, Chad, and Jane. That wasn't too much of a surprise. The biggest surprise of all was where they were, Mal had suspected it but never really considered that her mother would actually put them there. A shocked gasp escaped from both Mal and Evie.
"Is that…?" Evie said trailing off.
"The Isle of the Lost." Mal finished sadly. At this, Ben stiffened.
"She put them there? I thought she hated the place. Why would she put them there?" He asked as he began to pace back and forth. Mal walked over to him and put a hand on his arm to calm him. It worked, at least temporarily.
"My mother may have hated the Isle if the Lost but she hates the people that put her there even more. That's why they are the only AK's there, they are sons and daughters of the people who were detrimental in getting the villains put on to the Isle in the first place. Ben, if she had been able to capture you, you probably would have been put there as well." Mal explained. Ben seemed to accept this explanation and went and sat back down on a rock in the cave, pulling Mal with him.
"The question is, how are we going to get on the Isle of the lost?" Evie said. Mal stilled, she hadn't really thought of that. As far as she knew the only way onto the Isle was the bridge that popped up when you had the right remote. Maleficent would have likely had them all destroyed or within her grasp. No one besides her would have access to the Isle.
"Well, as Prince of Auradon, I always carry a remote with me, in case I ever need to be on the Isle of the Lost, whether it's to drop off a new villain or something else entirely." Ben said. The girls sighed in relief at this, now it was just a matter of sneaking on to the Isle. Maleficent probably had guards posted at the entrance of the Isle.
"I can use my magic to knock the guards out. Once we get through to the Isle, my mother won't have any guards posted, she wanted all the villains off the Isle. If we go under the cover of dark, no one will see us." Mal said. Ben and Evie agreed that this was a good idea. Now all that was left to do was wait for the cover of dark.
A few hours later…
"Let's go." Mal said. Quickly and quietly the trio made their way through the forest and soon found themselves at the edge of the forest looking at the Isle of the Lost. Just as Mal suspected there were two of her mother's goons watching for anyone who may dare to enter the Isle of the Lost. Mal got out her spell book from the bodice of her dress, where she had spelled it to stay earlier.
"In a deep sleep ye shall be, remembering not what I hide from thee. Magic work let this be, Let this spell work for me." Mal said as she pointed towards each guard in turn. As soon as they were sleeping the trio ran towards the bridge and Ben hit the button that would allow them to cross it, they crossed, quickly and quietly and soon found themselves on the Isle. Ben noticed that Mal and Evie were visibly tense and figured it had to do with them being back on the Isle of the Lost.
"Let's look for them in the morning, for now let's go to my mother's castle and hope that no one is there." Mal said. The other two nodded knowing that it would be easier to find their friends in the morning. As they made their way to the castle they could hear other people moving about but didn't see anyone. That meant that their friends were not the only ones on the Isle of the Lost. They soon reached Mal's old home and pushed open the door walking into the room.
"I didn't think I'd ever be back here." Mal said. Ben reached out to hold her hand, rubbing soothing circles over the back of it with his thumb.
"Me neither. It's unnerving actually." Evie said. Neither one voiced their thoughts about how they figured they would be aiding in taking over Auradon. The trio stood in silence for a few moments before they heard a crash from the other room.
"Someone's here." Mal said. The trio began to proceed with caution, searching each room for the source of the noise. Hoping to find it was just a breeze and not a person. They didn't know who they would find, or what. The noise got louder as they moved towards it, meaning that it was probably a person, Mal gripped her spell book, her magic may not work here but at least she could use it as some sort of weapon. The trio then heard footsteps moving towards them. A shadow then appeared from the doorway. Mal motioned for the others to get behind her, and while Ben would normally argue he knew that Mal knew how the Isle worked and figured that it was in his best interests to listen to his girlfriend and moved behind her. Evie though chose to stand on the other side of the doorway, a book she had picked up along the way in her hand, ready to strike. As the figure walked out of the door Mal and Evie moved as one to strike the person down. The figure gave a scream of surprise.
