Come Saturday Mal and Jay were at Priate's Cove.
"Where is Harriet?" Mal demanded of a short plump boy. "You will tell her we have arrived! NOW!"
The boy ran farther down the dock that they were on. He returned a minute later with Harriet.
"You made it!" Harriet said, happily. "Great, as promised here are your swords."
She helped them put the swords on their waists properly.
"There. Come this way."
Mal turned to her goblins.
"You and the cage stay here. Anyone under ten who losses this battle throw in the cage if a parent doesn't claim them." Mal ordered.
Harriet whispered to the plump boy to inform her crew of what Mal had just ordered her Goblins to do.
"You are wicked." Jay grinned.
"My mom says that evil is the only real way to live." Mal stated with a shrug. "C'mon lets got kick Uma's butt and hold under water until she gives up the clams."
Jay laughed and ran after her.
Maleficent and Jafar both smirked in approval of their children.
"I forgot to ask a question." Mal said, as she stood at Harriet's side sword out across from Uma's small crew and with Jay on her other side and Harriets tiny crew behind her. "What the rules? We're supposed to follow them for Pirate's battle right?"
"We are." Harriet confirmed. "Or we loose. My dad will give the rules in a moment."
Mal nodded and watched as the Goblins grabbed Anthony Tremain and forced him in the cage because he was alone. She also noted that Carlos and Evie were coming pulling on their parents to hurry up so that they didn't miss anything.
Captain Hook stepped up with a bullhorn that was in rather good condition. Mal figured she'd confisate it at some point.
"The rules for the Kids Pirate battle is simple!" He said, into it broadcasting his voice. "If you bleed your out, if you go in water you're out and will be rescued by Ursula who will spank you and you will have to spend an hour working at her shop. If the Captain starts to bleed or is knocked in the water the whole crew looses and has to work at Ursula's shop for an hour.
You are allowed to help your teammates so they don't get hurt or end up in the water. Those are the rules."
"I think I got it." Jay said, nodding. "What about you, Mal...? Mal?"
"Uma, if you win I will give you four passes to get out of jail free." Mal stated, "If I win you have to give Jay and me five clams each! Shake on it!"
"Deal!" Uma agreed shaking Mal's hand then returning to her side.
Maleficent wouldn't show it but she was very pleased with Mal's bargining skills even if it was only Clams. The girl was working with what she knew after all.
Auradon
"She's obbsessed." Beast said, shaking his head. "Good buisness sense though."
No one disagreed with him.
"GO, MAL!" Ben called as the battle began and Hook commentated. "Dad, I want to learn sword play too!"
Beast sighed to himself why was his son so interested in Mal? The attachment had been so sudden that it was worrying him.
"Of course, Ben. You can start your lessons first thing in the morning." Beast informed.
Mal jumped to the left suddenly as the whistle sounded. She was shocked to find that Uma's sword was right where she'd been standing.
Sense-1
Mal attacked back she had no formal training so she was wondering why Harriet wanted her on the team but then again she couldn't really care as long as she got clams out of it.
Sword Play-1
Mal and Uma darted in and out of the others fighting as hard as they could.
Mal snagged several things while still fighting Uma. Suddenly she noticed Jay about to go in the water. She dropped down to avoid Uma's sword then swiped her foot out knocking the kid about to beat Jay off of his feet. Jay grabbed the kid's arm and threw him into the water claiming his coin purse as a reward.
"That was close." Jay said, blocking Uma for Mal as she got back to her feet. "Good thinking."
"Naturally." Mal stated and re-engaged Uma.
At some point during the battle Mal decided that Uma was going in the water so she was doing her best to move her that way but Uma was being smart and avoiding getting caught in that kind of situation. Luckily Mal had a minion and Jay came to help out once he'd finished to help pull Harriet from face planting in the water. It had been a close call. Harriet was now yelling Harry at the top of her lungs and chasing her younger brother who was doing his best to outrun her.
Uma clearly got overwhelmed facing both Mal and Jay and was soon at the end of the pier. Jay fell back arms behind his head as Uma and Harry were the only one's still "standing" from Uma's crew. Mal blocked Uma's thrust, spun to the left, slashed, and pushed with all her might. Uma was bleeding when she hit the water and second later there was a second splash signaling Harry had finally been caught and thrown of the pier as well.
"WINNER, HARRIET'S PIRATE CREW!" Hook anounced and no one missed the tone of pride in his voice.
Mal looked around drenched in sweat, pockets bluging full of stuff she'd looted while fighting. Harriet had nine pirates, plus Harriet, Jay and Mal herself still on the pier. they'd done good. Mal giggled as she watched Harriet push Harry under the water again with her foot repeatedly. She decided to do the same to Uma so did.
Uma finally got the message.
"FIVE CLAMS EACH! I GOT IT! I GOT IT!" Uma bellowed.
"Good, " Mal nodded, sternly. "You have until my dinner to get them to us."
Mal and Jay compared their treasures with each other as they walked back down the pier to where Harriet was finally letting Harry out of the water.
"Jay and me..."
"Jay and I , Mal." Maleficent corrected.
"Jay and I agree that we had a lot of fun today." Mal informed. "Contact us again soon and we'll come down."
"Of course." Harriet nodded. "You two were great and I see you did some side buisness..."
"It's what we're good at." Jay shrugged. "Lets go get some coffee then make apples."
"Okay, it's almost time for our reading lessons anyway." Mal said, shrugging. "Bring the cage!"
The Goblins lifted the cage and followed Mal suddenly had a rope and was tying it around a ten year olds waist.
"You're too big for the cage." Mal reasoned and pulled the girl after her jerking every now and then to make her come.
Maleficent and Jafar hated to admit it but they were very pleased with their little off spring after today's battle.
