Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this chapter! :d


Chapter 2 -Auradonian Magic Chamber pt3-

Jay's POV

I woke up with my hands tied together with rope. I inspected the room, it looked like I was in a pyramid or something. I leaned up, the rope failed to hold me in place. I saw at the ceiling was a sharp sandy stalactite, and instantly figure out that was my way to free myself, but I needed to find a way to reach it.

Then I saw the ground - sandy ground - started to form a bump. The bump got taller and taller, until it got to the same height as me. The sand then fell off and revealed a person, that person was... me?

I gasped and watched as he smirked. I literally saw this as a chance, I ran towards him, but before he could react I jumped from his shoulder, did a backflip and successfully cut off the rope holding my hands together with the stalactite.

When I shook the rope off, I asked "Alright so, who in the auradon are you?" He smirked again and answered, "Isn't it obvious? I'm you." Then I said "I assume that I need to defeat you to escape this... pyramid?" He answered "You figured that out pretty quickly."

The scene quickly changed, it changed to a gigantic field with number pad-like grass patches. The other Jay said "You'll have to solve these math questions and try to push this button, if you want to escape."

I nodded.

He started off with, "What is the answer to 11(2)/2" I grinned and answered, "Easy" I jumped twice at the patch labeled with 1 and watched as two 1s appeared on the platform the other me was standing on.

Basically, it was waves after waves of math questions, and I started to lose my patience. When I reached the 10th question, I got it wrong. Instead of a smirk, shake of the head and a laugh, I was zapped.

I yelled "What the heck was that for?!" He answered, "That's your punishment for getting the answer wrong."

Then I arched my eyebrow and asked again "So I'm gonna be punished if I get a question wrong?!" he answered again, "Yeah, you will lose your life if you get 5 wrong answers, or fail 5 times in the rest of the puzzles."

I figured that these math questions are gonna be non-stop, so I decided to find another way to reach the button. He gave me another question, but instead of answering it, I flipped from patch to patch, and dodged the lightning bolts whizzing towards me. Eventually, I got to the button and pressed it.

The scenery changed again, then the other me teleported to another different platform, and stated "Very smart Jay, I wasn't planning on stopping any time soon." I answered, "And I wasn't planning on answering any more questions."

He smirked at me as I looked around, I asked "What the heck is this?!" I looked around and saw everything was block shaped, it reminded me of a game I used to love to play, DigBreak. He yelled again, "If you can take the apple off that pillar while dodging every arrow shot towards you, you'll pass this one."

I stated, "Easy." He shook his head then said "We'll see about that"

The arrows started shooting out of nowhere, I realized they were real arrows, ones that can actually kill you. I dodged them, but the closer I got to the pillar, the more dangerous it got. When I was about 5 feet away from the pillar, the arrows shot from nowhere were being ignited.

Now, instead of normal wooden arrows, fire arrows were being shot at me. I yelled "What the hell?!" while dodging for my life. I could head the other me laughing. When I got to the pillar, I saw no way of climbing it. I hid behind it for temporary protection, that's when I got an idea.

I ran around the pillar, successfully creating a stair of arrows leading up to the apple. I jumped from one to the other as the flaming arrows got faster and faster, then I grabbed the apple. When I landed back on the ground, nothing happened, so I bit into the apple.

Once again, the scene changed. It changed to a wrestling arena. The other me stood on a platform with a trophy, and said "The final test, if you can pass this one, you'll wake up."

"Wrestling huh? I'll past this with no problem!" I exclaimed. That was a giant mistake.

Two brutes who looked like they just got out of the gym after working out for 5 days appeared.

After about 2 hours of wrestling, I got tired. I couldn't defeat them with strength, and they looked like they could wrestler some more for about 24 more hours. I didn't notice this before, but outside of the little arena was void. There was basically nothing under us, so I had an idea.

Instead of strength, I used my brain. I made them charge at me with full speed, both of them, by taunting the 9 hells out of them. They literally got so furious, they charged at me with full speed, and I would be dead if I didn't dodge in time, thankfully I did.

They literally got flung backwards by the rubber-thingy (I don't really know what it's called :) even if they didn't, the thing would've snapped and they would have fallen into the void, so it was kind of a win-win situation for me. I looked up and saw the other me stand up, he clapped as I panted.

He swiftly teleported in front of me, then stated "Now you have to defeat me" I gasped and said "What?" He repeated, "You heard me, you have to defeat me, or you'll never see your friends again."

We fought for about 5 more hours, I tried using my brain but this time it was more difficult. The person I'm fighting is myself, of course I would know what I would do!

I remembered what the other me said, "The final test, if you can pass this one, you'll wake up." I had the last three words repeat in my head. I hoped that this would work.

I imagined the floor beneath us disappearing, and I imagined myself having wings. I watched as the other me fell into the void underneath, and I used my wings to fly up to the platform with the trophy. I grabbed the trophy, for a few seconds nothing had happened.

Then suddenly, an ominous voice called out, "You have passed this test Jay, son of Jafar..." I called out "Who are you? What is this?!" but it didn't answer. I looked around- more like flew around frantically and looked, but there was nothing. Just the platform and my trophy in my hands. The voice continued "You showed intelligence, you may pass through the barrier..."

All I remembered was everything turning white, and I fell into another sleep.


Carlos' POV

My eyes were puffy as I woke up. I yawned and scratched my head as I looked around, inspecting the odd place I just woke up. I whispered, "Where the heck is this place...?" I walked around and saw nothing but thorns. Thorny trees created a wall around the area I woke up in, followed up by even more thorny vines that covered the little crevices. I couldn't climb the trees to escape.

I kept walking around looking for the exit, as soon as I turned around I jumped as I was startled. I saw another me standing in the middle, he was a little bit different though. Instead of my now blue and white hair, he had completely white hair, the same one I had before I found out about my powers.

I called out "Hello?" but the other me didn't answer. He whirled around, and instead smirked at me. He said "Oh Carlos, look at you. You're pathetic." I replied by saying, "You're me, so technically you're pathetic too." He shook his head, "You used to be a De Vil. Now you're... you're just pathetic now."

He did some gestures, and suddenly Dude appeared out of nowhere. I yelled "Dude!", but it was as if the dog didn't even hear me. The other Carlos did more gestures, in a puff of smoke, another Ben appeared.

I let out a sigh of relief when I saw Ben. But then, I saw Ben walk over to Dude. I yelled "Ben, what are you doing?!" I watched as he picked up the whimpering dog by the neck. I also watched as Ben threw Dude forcefully towards one of the many thorny trees. Dude died as his body was struck with multiple thorns, I cried out "Dude!" as I watched Ben walk towards me.

This wasn't Ben. His eyes didn't have his usual warm emerald eyes, instead he had evil ruby eyes. Ben grabbed me by my neck and attempted to choke me. I whispered, "Ben, please, snap out of it!" But he didn't listen. He continued to choke me and lifted me up to the air. I looked up and realized that the moon was full, remembering what I had discovered, I whispered the spell.

I transformed into my Wolf counterpart and howled, as I pushed Ben away. I said "Ben, please, snap out of it!" Again, he didn't listen. Instead, he continued to fight me. He was surprisingly strong. I yelled at the other me, who was now smirking as he watched me pin down my boyfriend, "What did you do you Ben?!"

He answered grinning evil, "What do you mean Ben?" I looked down to see I was 'pinning' down a voodoo doll made of fur. The doll dissipated, I looked at the other me. I realized he had also transformed into a werewolf, he sprinted towards me.

I was easily overpowered by him, he ran his hand through the cobalt-blue fur on my head, then yanked my head up. The trees had formed a circle, I watched as an image appeared in the middle of it. I watched as all of my friends were killed one by one, that's when I snapped. I grabbed his head and smashed it forcefully into the ground, watching as the ground cracked.

When he got back up, there was blood running down his head. I wanted to run over to help him, but his would instantly healed and the blood disappeared. Once again, I was quickly overpowered. My insides were filled with rage, but the beating I received quickly turned it into despair.

I watched as my fur slowly disappeared, I returned to my original form. I closed my eyes, hoping this would all be over soon.

I was losing, fairy quickly.

Then, while my eyes were closed, I heard Ben yelling "Don't give up!" from somewhere in the distance. I looked around, still being beaten up by the other me, in his werewolf form. There were only thorny trees, no Ben. Eventually, I heard him yell again. The yell repeated, now with the rest of my friends' voice joining his.

I regained my energy, I trusted my instincts. As the other me stopped and returned to his original form, I stood up. I looked at him as he took out a knife, charging at me at full speed.

I trusted my instincts for real, instead of fighting back, which the old me would have done, I stretched my arms out, in a hugging manner.

I watched as the other me charged at me with a knife at his hand, and closed my eyes. I didn't know what was going to happen.

A few seconds later, I felt two warm hands around my back. The other me had returned the hug. I hugged him, as he whispered into my ears "Congratz, you've passed the test Carlos. I'm proud of you..." as he started dissipating.

When he completely disappeared, I looked around. Nothing else was happening. I called out "Hello? Is anyone there?!" I walked towards the dead Dude, but stopped in my tracks when I heard an ominous voice, "You have passed the test, Carlos De Vil, son of Cruella De Vil..."

I called out, "Hello?! Who are you?" but it didn't answer. There was a moment of silence instead.

The voice continued, "You have shown trust, you may pass through the barrier..."

All I remembered was watching everything around me turn white, and I fell into another sleep.


Ben's POV

I felt tears sting my eyes as I watched Carlos' screen turn black, they were tears of Joy. Everyone saw as Carlos almost lost hope, and would've failed the test. And if he did, I would lose the love of my life...

But I was ecstatic, up to the point where I basically cried when I saw Carlos pass the test. Their platforms lowered in the same fashion Mal and Evie's did. They stepped off the platform, then the floating platforms lost their magic and they pummeled down into the abyss. I saw Carlos flinch when he looked downwards.

I gave him a bear hug, so tightly up to the point where he turned purple. He yelled "Ben let go of me!" I heard the others laugh as I set him down on the magical silver path.

He gave me a pouting face as we started our journey to the main platform.
I said to Carlos with a commanding tone, the same one I used to make him do what I wanted him to, "Carlos, show me a happy face right now, or there'll be..." there was a pause in my sentence, then I finished "consequences."

He nodded and smiled at me, even though it looked fake I accepted it. We continued our journey to the center of the chamber, at the middle stood a unlit-ball. It was supported by four strong looking pillars that look exactly the same like the ones back at the Enchanted Lake.

Jane stated "These pillars look familiar." then Mal replied, "Yeah, they're the same ones back at the lake."

Carlos butted in and continued "The lake where I was dumped by Ben" and Jay decided to finish his sentence "Yeah, and where you almost died."

There was a moment of awkward silence, then I asked "Forgive, forget?" Carlos smiled and said "That was my line." and Audrey said to Carlos and Jay, "Thanks killjoys" and we all let out a light laugh.

We continued to inspect the middle platforms, there were 5 other smaller platforms around, but there were no ways of accessing it. I continued my inspection around the pillars.

When I finished, I said in conclusion "Alright so there's like, what, 8 odd looking pedestals around here?" There was a moment of silence as everyone nodded and continued our search.

A few seconds later, I asked Carlos "Hey pup, can you come here for a second?" he scurried towards me. I told him, "Look at this pedestal, does it look familiar?" He nodded. It was as if he read my mind, I thought 'Maybe the gem should be placed here...' Carlos took out the gem. The pedestal had an odd figurine carved into it, that figurine looked an awful lot like Ursula the Sea Witch.

Everyone gathered around us as I nodded to Carlos. He crouched down, then carefully placed the shining white-purple gem onto the pedestal.

The gem was encased in a beautiful sparkly bubble as it floated a few centimeters above it's pedestal. The gem inside started spinning slowly, a few seconds later it shot a beam towards one of the pillars.

I expected something huge to happen, but instead all that happened was the center of the giant ball emitted a faint light. We looked around with a look of confusion.

Doug took a look at his watch and exclaimed, "It's already 10:30 PM!" and we all rushed out of the chamber. I quickly took the key out of the keyhole, which was somehow on the wall now. I didn't have time to think about that, as soon as I pulled the key out the door returned.

Carlos quickly pushed the green button, and the exit appeared. We ran out, the last thing we needed was to get caught breaking curfew, but that was too late.

Fairy Godmother was already waiting for us at the entrance, we had to enter through the main entrance, there were no other exits in Auradon Prep. Unless you want to climb the hella' high dorms to sneak into your own rooms, which was not to mention dangerous.

Fairy Godmother awaited us, with a stern face and hands crossed. She asked "Where were all of you?" nobody answered. She asked again, "Jane? Care to tell me what happened?" Once again, there was an awkward silence.

I said to her, "I'm sorry but we can't tell you, but we can show you tomorrow morning." Fairy Godmother then shook her head and said "The rest of you, I forgive you, this time. Ben and Carlos, you will be spending 3 hours outside before you can come in."

Carlos shivered, everyone quietly entered their rooms. I accompanied Carlos to a nearby bench, and gave him my jacket. He refused and said "No thanks, I don't want two layers of jackets." I smiled but still wrapped it around him.

He smiled and said "Thanks..."

We sat down at the bench, I looked up and said "Look Carlos, that constellation looks like you" pointed towards the sky.

He looked up and let out a chuckle, "That does not look like me at all, my nose is smaller than that" jokingly.

Without realizing it, we spent 3 hours under the sky talking, bonding some more. Carlos had fallen asleep on my shoulders. I smiled as I caressed his white and blue hair. Fairy Godmother approached us and said, "Alright lovebirds, you can come in now. If I catch any of you breaking curfew again, you'll spend all night outside."

I nodded, she took a look at the sleeping Carlos and stated "Aww, he looks so adorable when he's asleep" I smiled at her, then I carried Carlos bridal style carefully, to not wake him up. I said to her, "Thanks." as I carried Carlos back to my room.

I gently set Carlos on the bed, and fell asleep with my clothes on. I cuddled with Carlos, and whispered "Sweet dreams pup, you've been through a lot tonight."

I fell asleep a few moments later.
