Jack and Jess stood, tied to a mast on the Sailing ship Columbia. Jack's hand curled around Jess's, trying to comfort her. They had been there for a good half hour as the ship was set into motion, sailing to the middle of the river by Captain Hook and a few pirates.
Jess let tears roll down her eyes. Neither of them wanted to become bait, but what other choice did they have? "It will be fine Jess. shill save us." Jack tried to reassure her.
The ship then jerked to a stop. Jess let out a shaky breath as they heard an anchor being thrown into the water. It was followed by the sound of footsteps and laughter making their way up from the gally. Out of the corners of their eyes, they could see the ship filled with various villains, including Tess who walked right up to them.
Tess took a good look at them, giving Tess a pitiful expression. "What's this? Is someone having a pity party?" Tess asked, grabbing her sister's chin. "Makes sense, you were the weaker twin."
"Tess please." Jess gulped as she tried to blink the tears away. "You don't have to do this. Think about what Mom and Dad would say if you went through with this?" she said with a shaky breath as she pleaded "There's still time to change."
But her pleas fell on deaf ears as her sister let go of her chin. "Oh time is still on my side, but for you, I'm afraid it's run out." They watched as Tess unsheathed her sword "I say it's time we let the crocodile have his meal!" she shouted as she brought it down hard next to her sister. It cut right through the rope that held them to the mast. The villains let out bursts of laughter and whistles as Jack pulled Jess close. He gave Tess an angry look, about to yell when her sword was brought in front of them. "Move it! Off to the plank with ya!"
That's when a voice called from the crow's nest "One girl off the port side."
Sarah flew fast towards the ship, clutching her lightsaber. Tink sat in her hair so as not to be seen. Thankfully she had made it in time, seeing her friends near the plank. But she wasn't fully expecting the ship to be crawling with villains. Sure she expected a few, but a crowd this big would prove to be a challenge. She flew up to the back, hovering just over the railing.
"Finely." Tess lowered her sword away from Jack and Jess as she looked up at Sarah.
(Descendants 2, It's Going Down)
The villains laughed as Tess smirked. "Huh, let's get this party started. I swear we're cold-hearted! There's no negotiation! We're not here for debatin' You need some motivation?" She used the hitchhiker's thumb to gesture to Jack and Jess. "Just look at your friend's faces! Then ask yourself how long you think will remain patient!" The villains Laughed again as Tess tightened her grip on her sword, pointing it toward them, forcing them to step back. "I'll throw them overboard and let him swim with a killer croc! You either hand over yourself or they'll be ripped apart!"
Sarah crossed her arms as she set herself down, balancing on the railing. "Now, let's all just be smart, Although for you that must be hard! You'll get what you want! They don't have to come to any harm!" she shook her head, glaring at the villains who gave her intimidating stairs "Don't try to intimidate. Your bark is much worse than your bite. Who's the baddest of you all?" Sarah glared directly at Tess "I guess we're finding out tonight!"
The villains snarled at this as they began to sing in unison. "Let's go, bring it on. Better give us what we want. It's yourself for your friends. If you don't, it's going down!"
Sarah joined in on the second chorus. "Let's go, make your move, Peace or war, it's up to you. Give them up and do it now. If you don't, it's going down!"
"We want yourself, Or else your friends are gone" Tess poked her sword in Jack and Jess's direction, forcing them backward, closer to the plank. "there time is running out, You should really watch your mouth."
Sarah then hopped onto the deck, glazing around at everyone, then Tess. "Then let's go, pound for pound, I'm prepared to stand my ground" Sarah then raised her lightsaber in the air "Put your weapons up, put 'em up, It's going down!"
The villains made a path for her so she could walk to Tess. She listened to their taunting chants as she marched forward. "Oh, oh, oh, make the trade. Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank! Oh, oh, oh, make the trade. Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank!"
When she made it to the middle of the deck. Tess took another swing at Jack and Jess, making them jump. giving Sarah a warning. She was giving Sarah a warning not to come closer.
Sarah put her hands up, signaling she wasn't looking for a fight. "Ok, look, this is not a conversation, It's a do-or-die situation! If you don't give me back my friends, I'll have no hesitation!" she pointed her lightsaber at Tess. "I'll serve you right here, And I don't need a reservation. That way this whole villain crew can have a demonstration!" she ignited her lightsaber as she looked at Tess, her voice was one of anger and hurt. "Release them now, and will all go our separate ways, Unless you wanna deal with me and that be the case!"
Maleficent merely laughed at Sarah's words. Sarah sharply turned her head to the wicked fairy who stood opposite Tess. "So that's your big speech, huh? An empty ultimatum?"
Tess then butted in, winging her sword again, forcing Jack and Jess onto the plank this time. Sarah's eyes widened, Tess really was serious about feeding them to the crocodile. "All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate them" she swung again forcing them further back "Matter of fact, make one wrong move and I'll debilitate them. And if they even start to slip, I'll eliminate them. All it takes is one long look and I'll-!" Sarah watched as her fist tightened around the sword.
"Tess! I get it, But-" Sarah began to stay before the villains began to chant again.
"Let's go, bring it on! Better give us what we want. It's yourself for your friends. If you don't, it's going down!"
Sarah took a step closer to Tess. "Let's go, make your move. Peace or war, it's up to you. Just give them up and do it now. If you don't, it's going down!"
"We want yourself, Or else your friends are gone. Your time is running out, You should really watch your mouth!"
"Let's go, pound for pound, I'm prepared to stand my ground" Sarah glanced at all the villains again, Raising her lightsaber into the air once more. "Put your weapons up, put 'em up, It's going down!"
Jack then butted in from the plank. His expression was scared, yet his voice spoke of bravery. "Hey, Tess shouldn't have to choose. She shouldn't have to light this fuse!" he called out then looked at Sarah "Sarah, whatever you do, it's gonna be a lose-lose, There's gotta be a better way!"
Jess then cut in, tears still in her eyes that never once left her sister. "Tess, Please come back with us. And all will be fine."
Tess merely laughed at her sister's offer. "Silly Jess! You? You think? You think it will all be fine?" she asked, laughing as she shook her head "It will never be fine!" she swung at them forcing them further onto the plank. As she sang the last part Sarah heard the villain overlap her last few notes."Oh, oh, oh, make the trade! Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank!"
Angry now, Sarah flew up into the air "Oh, oh, oh, make the trade, Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank!" she landed in front of the plank which her friends stood on. She looked up glaring at Tess, lightsaber active in her hand. "So you want to play dirty," Tess smirked as she raised her sword, but Sarah blocked it. She thought it would slice in half, but her sword had the same enchantment the pirates did at the House of Mouse.
"Now Tink!" Sarah shouted as she pushed against Tess's sword, stumbling backward. Tink flew from Sarah's hair and over to Jack and Jess, spraying them with pixie dust. Jack and Jess felt themselves float before pushing themselves into the sky. They watched as a battle unfolded on the deck.
Sarah heard the shuffle on the plank, but she didn't dare move, too engrossed in the sword fight. So much so, that she did even see Tess move her wand in the air. She heard her speak, but the words didn't register in her brain. Next thing she knew, she felt a bucket of water topple over her head, making her lose focus in the fight. "Sorry" Tess fake apologies "but we can't have you flying off."
Sarah was snapped out of the fight for a moment as she shivered. Water, Pixiedust's worst enemy. Since she now couldn't fly her way out of this, she was just gonna have to fight her way. Thankfully she was able to see Tess's next swing, spinning out of the way. As she did, she looked towards the open plank. Perhaps if she dove off-
"Sarah look out!" She heard Jack call from the sky.
Sarah turned her head over her shoulder, next thing she knew she was tossed to the ground by a bolt of Tess's magic. She let out an "oof" as she hit the deck, her lightsaber rolling out of her hand. She lifted her head slightly, about to reach out to pull it back when a green form of magic surrounded her.
"That's enough." She heard Maleficent say from the crowd as footsteps approached her.
Jack and Jess exchanged worried glances before taking off towards the castle to get back up. But Tink was fuming with rage. Sure she didn't want to come on this mission, but she also sort of liked Sarah, at least more than several of the other characters.
Tink flew down in a fury of madness. Her small hands filled with pixie dust, ready to toss it in Maleficent's eyes. As she was about to reach Maleficent's face, the fairy was caught in Tess's hands.
Maleficent smiled at Tess, nodding her head as she then walked around to Sarah. She bent down in front of her. "You really are a foolish girl, you know that?"
"Let me go, Maleficent!" Sarah said through gritted teeth.
Maleficent let out a smirk as she let out a spew of incoherent words. Next thing Sarah knew, a green spew of dust flew in her face and she fell unconscious.
Jack and Jess flew towards Sleeping Beauty's castle as fast as they could. As they flew over fantasyland they could see Arthur and Amy leaning against the castle. The two of them flew down, landing just outside of the castle.
"You're alive!" Arthur shouted with glee as he and Amy looked up at them.
Amy glanced between them, and then at the sky, and then back at them "Where is Sarah?"
"She's captured." Jess blurted out.
Arthur and Amy gasped at the news. Amy's face twitched into anger as her hand curled into a fist. "I told her not to go alone, I knew this would happen!" she said angrily as she pushed past Jack and Jess, storming off into the park.
"Amy, where are you going?!" Arthur called after her.
"To save my sister, that's where," she responded, not stopping.
"Amy, it's too dangerous alone, if Sarah can't face them, you're not gonna have better luck," Jack added.
"Well I can't sit around another 5 years before seeing her again!" she shouted, turning back to them. "I know it's dangerous, but she is my sister, and I'm not losing her again!"
