Evie Pov:
"It was supposed to be a normal visit. I had it planned out when I managed to get the right materials to help make the wristbands to allow us to travel through Wade's world without any worries. I was interested in visiting the shopping districts where I heard there was a woman called Janet Van Dyne who specializes in superhero clothing. But now? I'm kidnapped by someone who has a grudge against my father-in-law and wants all of us to go on a television program. It would be great since Trick and Mal told me that I'd look amazing on the big screen, this isn't one of the times I wish they hadn't said it. All I know is whatever this Mojo guy wants me to do, I'm not doing anything that involves belly dancing or trying to be his clothes designer. Because not even Fairygod Mother can make him ready for a ballroom dance."
Later-Mojoverse
Having been taken by Spiral back to Mojo's domain without recognizing where she was being taken. Evie was unconscious and taken somewhere that no one would notice as well as allow her to rest for when the show to start. The blue-haired woman opened her eyes in a dreary state before looking at what seemed to be a mirror in front of her to see a startling sight that made her think of hundreds of thoughts rushing into her head.
"What the hell am I wearing?"
Questioning the attire that had replaced the clothing she had on as Evie was wearing a costume that was a combination of Zemo and her mother. She wore a tiara on top of her head that resembled the headband that Zemo wears while having a balaclava that covered her neck, she had a crimson heart emblem on her chest with blue fur around her shoulders. She had on a belt with numerous vials that were connected to leggings and a set of matching black boots while wearing armored padded gloves.
"Someone, dressed me up? No one dresses me up except for Trick and Mal!"
Evie yelled in anger since this meant someone destroyed her other clothes when she was taken by Spiral. The mirror in front of her disappeared as she felt the floor below her feet start to rise upward to a light where Evie started to hear cheering. Making her way to the surface, Evie found herself in an arena where there were thousands of people cheering her as well as wanting to see the daughter of Grimhilde cause trouble.
"Great. A bunch of people who want me to fight in an arena, real original."
Speaking out at how this seemed like she was about to fight someone since the vials and potions around her belt seemed to be made for combat. Hearing the sound of another entrance opening up, Evie prepared herself for whatever might come after her as she looked at the person rising from the arena where it wasn't someone who would fight her out of instinct.
"Carlos?"
She spoke out as it was her friend who was wearing a combination of clothing that was based on his parents, Cruella and Doctor Octopus. He has on goggles that were based on his dad's design while wearing a jacket with black and white stripes leaving the boy confused as to where he and Evie was. The two noticed entrances opening up around them as they showed their friends rising with their specialized suits. Jay was wearing a metal suit that was based on his mom's armor design, but the scarab theme was based on his father who used a scarab to find the Cave of Wonders.
"How did I end up here? One minute I'm with Lonnie about to visit her parents, then out of nowhere some six-armed lady knocks me out."
Remembering the last thing he saw before waking up Jay noticed the scenery around him and the crowd cheering him on. They heard groaning coming from the side where they saw Mal having on a mix between Maleficent and Loki's wardrobe of being half Fae and Asgardian while Trick had on the suit that Wade had given him back in Auradon.
"We look badass! But it's not the right time because we're kidnapped. We still at least look ready to break shit, regardless."
Trick commented on their new looks before seeing another set of entrances opening up to reveal Uma and Gamma had been taken as well. The new principal of Auradon Prep had on Bioluminescence clothing mixed with Atlantean armor, Gamma was given a uniform that no one knew about but had a 'VK' emblem on his belt that confused the cyborg.
"Oh shit! Representing Cable with the classics!"
Someone shouted in excitement as the gang looked over seeing Wade in his costume and Eleanor who had a similar outfit but with a brown jacket and hood while Jeff walking by her side confused as to what was going on. Princess was looking around the arena and confused at what was happening, she decided to jump out of the arena but was shocked by a force field that was keeping them contained.
"Sorry poochie. But no zoomies yet, you got to wait until the show starts."
An announcer spoke over them as they were suddenly restrained from moving and forced to remain where they were while their host was getting the crowd's attention. Forced to look at a podium where the spotlight shined onto none other than Mojo and his assistants who waved kindly to his fans and servants who were excited to see the show that Mojo has in store for the VK and Wilson's.
"It's such a delight seeing you all here together. The Deadpool family with none other than the Villain Kids of Auradon! Let me just say that the audience has been dying to see you all together again."
Mojo spoke out with excitement before crawling downward to the stage with his spider legs as he saw how determined they were to break free. Taking a moment to get a better look at each of his contestants, the spinless one gleefully smiled at what they were capable of once he started his show.
"Nice to meet a psychotic fan of ours. Doesn't explain why the hell we're here in the first place."
Jay questioned him about the reason for being kidnapped and taken here in front of hundreds of people. The master of Mojo-verse responded by showing everyone on the jumbotron where it showed images of the VK's lives back home, everyone saw numerous moments that involved facing off against threats of both worlds as well as handling troubles amongst themselves. It was startling to see how far they've come from being troublemakers to the adults they are now, especially with coming to terms with their villainous heritage.
"Because you are unique! Something that my show needs, the combination of two world's villains mashed together to create a devious brat that can cause untold fighting all on television! Plus, everyone loves a reunion amongst family and friends."
He explained to the former thief what made him want to bring them all to the arena as the footage showed they were capable of surviving his ludicrous show. Mal attempted to use her magic to free herself from whatever was keeping her in place, only for Mojo to snap his fingers and cause her to not open her mouth.
"I don't care if we're going do the Moulin Rouge dance in front of everyone. You're going pay for interrupting my wife and not cast a spell!"
Trick shouted at him as he attempted to move his body which led him to snap one of his bones and collapse on the ground. It made the crowd laugh at the act of bravery and devotion he had toward his partner, it helped feed Mojo as their applause made him grow bigger and stronger with the praise.
"Now, now. I'm only doing this because I think you all have the right spunk to get my show back on the air, especially with the destination you'll be heading off to."
Responding toward the Oogie's hostility since he'd need it to survive the perils that lay ahead of them. Changing the footage on his jumbotron, Mojo presented his contestants and adoring fans to a world that he'd been working on for centuries. It was a mashup of various lands and had items that he had Spiral take from Earth to make the place dangerous and exciting.
"Mojo land the second! This beauty of mine has been on my vision board for a while and I've been waiting to bust it out, but the people I tried to find are well, oh how do I put this bluntly? Overrated!"
Shouting at the group at how there was a world brimming with costumed people, aliens, and monsters that would make great entertainment for Mojo's people. But that didn't satisfy them or the spineless one, they needed something unique and out of this world. A perfect spot for the VK's and Deadpool's family to run around in and boost up Mojo's ratings.
"Hey, lard ass. Much as I would thank you for the chance to have a playdate with my kids and daughters-in-law. Why in the hell would you think any of us would want to be a part of this wannabe Battle World show?"
Wade called out toward the host's ideal of bonding time since it was depraved and dangerous all the while being watched by Mojo's media-hungry audience. Smiling at the question and what would happen if they didn't participate, Mojo pointed toward the upper stadium where the group saw familiar faces that horrified them. It was their parents, all of them that had been bound in their chairs and had collars around their necks. Even Shiklah and Dracula had been captured to make sure Trickster would participate if he didn't want to see his mother harmed.
"Like I said. Family and friends reunion."
Mojo expressed crudely to show he had no issue in hurting them if the gang didn't cooperate. Noticing how they were expressing anger toward the host, the host decided to try and be humble for them since he needed everyone to be optimistic about the show.
"But we can be friends, right? Because. If you managed to survive my show, I can give you the one thing that not even Fairy Godmother and that wrinkled old man Yen Sid can offer. The truth, of how your worlds came together!"
Offering them the answers about how Earth's supervillains managed to travel to their world in the first place. Hearing that made each of the VK think about it as well as the speculations of how it started in the first place. While hearing about the true origin of how their parents enticed them, they were concerned with the safety of their parents. Mojo noticed their anger leaving them which left the spineless one to smile in a gleeful gesture as he could start his show.
"Here are the rules. At the center of my world is the means of winning and leaving the paradise I made. You'll be split up into three teams and will be forced to survive all things that are living in it. Including several VK from Deadpool's world trying to kill ya and other surprise guests that you'll get to meet."
Explaining how they could get out of his demented game and the individuals that would do their best to stop them from leaving. Just as he showed who would be paired off with who, the group was given a set of weaponry that matched their personality and would be used to survive the dangers they'd face. Deadpool and Trickster attempted to shoot Mojo but saw how their guns were unable to fire off any ammo toward him, the host laughed excitedly at not wanting to waste any time and get to the violence.
"I forgot to mention one small thing. Since you are all known for busting out in song, I expect each team to perform a song during their time on Mojo land. Otherwise, you'll be singing for your parent's wake."
Threatening them about hurting each of their parents if they didn't sing while surviving at the same time once they're in the game. Having been told about what they were acquired to do, Mojo teleported the eleven off-stage where they were taken to Mojo world where they would compete and survive to save their families as well as avoid being taken out at the same time. Meanwhile, with the parents, Dracula was confused as to what was happening as well as seeing Shiklah's ex-husband on screen with children who seemed unprepared for what awaited them.
"Of all the gods and monsters that roam our world. I fucking hate your ex-husband for bringing me into his mess."
The vampire spoke out at Shiklah's ex-husband having a hand in this as the succubus wasn't able to use her magic but was able to stomp on Dracula's foot for bad-mouthing him. Looking at the other parents who despite their could get out of this with their magic, they were unable to use them with the collars that were on their necks. All they could do was watch their children and see if they could bring up their villainous side to save them from impending doom.
Later-Mojo World 2
Across the mixed-up world that Mojo had spent centuries creating, the competitors that he'd chosen would have to venture through hostile territory to win his demented game. Traveling in an array of light, they were scattered across the corners of the land where the first team had managed to arrive at their destination. It was revealed to be Carlos, Jay, Gamma, and Princess who were dubbed the first team to be shown by the cameras that were recording them.
"Rough teleportation. But by the by, were in serious danger."
Carlos warned his friends and Princess about where they were as Mojo had given him Otto's Ocktoids. A set of mini robots that started to attach themselves to his back and resembled his dad's tentacles that would help him survive Mojo's world. Jay decided to check out his scarab suit as he tried to figure out how he'd use it in their situation.
"Danger? This hunk of metal is dangerous, I can't move around in this. Gamma, let's switch."
Offering to give it to Gamma due to him preferring to rely on his natural skills rather than needing a suit of armor to protect himself, only for his wrist to fire off a set of bullets from a machine concealed in his wrists. The cyborg VK defended reflected the bullets with his metal arm as they went toward a tree and cut it down within seconds.
"Never mind. This can come in handy."
Jay took back his statement by giving up his suit since the weaponry on it would help him get to the center of this land. Princess not wanting to wait around for them to get the way of the land, she decided to take charge and rush off through the forest to try and look for her family. The boys watched her running about crashing into trees and throwing rocks around in an attempt to find their scent.
"Carlos. You might want to calm her down before she gives out our location."
Gamma instructed him to settle her down before anyone found them and be considered an enemy. Princess made her way back to the boys as she panicked at no signs of her father, sister, and new brother who she wanted to spend time with. Shivering at not seeing her family again and appearing to lash out in fear Princess felt a gentle hand on her neck as it was able to calm the anxiety-filled wolf.
"Don't worry, Princess. This isn't our first quest in looking for our friends or getting out of a death trap. We just have to understand what this place is and how to make sense of it."
Reassuring her that the boys could get back with everyone before this place got the better of them. Gamma would take point due to the outfit that he'd been given by Mojo as they walked through the forest where they emerged to see a street with small buildings covered in plants and trees.
"This reminds me of the time when Papa told me about his travel to Genosha with Cable and the X-Men. Which is funny since your friend looks like him."
Princess told Jay and Carlos about how the scenery reminded her of the countless stories that Wade shared with her. Unfortunately, the setting that he'd told Princess was surrounded with sadness and death despite him making out alive and saving the day. Especially when it came to a laugh coming from above them where they were being watched.
"A wolf, scarab, octopus youngling, and reptile. An unusual set of animals to be lurking in the jungle by themselves."
The voice spoke out before leaping out of the tree to reveal himself as a VK that Mojo warned about when they were transported here. It was a blonde-haired woman wearing a lion vest and armed with numerous hunting weapons that appeared to be from Mojo, Carlos was able to recognize her as his friends noticed how scared he looked toward the huntress standing in front of them.
"Anastasia Kravinoff. She's the daughter of Kraven the Hunter, a hunter who enjoys chasing after costumed heroes. He passed away leaving his children to fight for his title, she killed her brothers."
He introduced her to the trio before they heard a screech from the air as they heard a growl coming from one of the buildings to show a large lizard crawling out by Anastasia's side. Just as they appeared in front of them, four more attackers decided to introduce themselves in a villainous manner. There was a girl wearing green and yellow spandex that was electricity-themed who was displaying her powers toward them and a man wearing a winged suit that was styled after a vulture, the other two members were animal-themed as it was a woman wearing a scorpion suit and a creature that was the combination between a man, boar, and bear.
"Papa told me about this gang! They're called the Savage Six, not like Carlos's dad's team. They aren't well known and rob banks. But the lizard is new."
Princess told her new friends about the team's identity except for the lizard boy who seemed to be forced into working for Anastasia. Carlos responded to the symbiote wolf with a nod since most of them were passed off by several members of Doc Ock's Sinister Six team that resembled Vulture, Electro, and Scorpion. Unsure of how to handle the surprise ambush, Gamma scanned each of them to find a weakness they could exploit in their fight.
"Despite being taken to somewhere that isn't like New York, the hunt will always continue. Right?"
Anastasia asked her team as they seemed willing to kill the four while ignoring the fact they weren't on Earth. Continuing to scan each member of the team, Gamma calculated the means to defeat each of them while allowing the gang to think they had the advantage.
"Carlos, Jay? While I and Princess could handle this group by ourselves, I think they realize who you two are. The real selves before becoming good."
He encouraged his friends on how to show the wannabe villains how they were brought up back on the Isle of the Lost. They smiled at what Gamma meant which made Jay curious about what other gadgets he had in his armor, he found a set of smoke bombs in his belt and fired several toward the crowd blinding everyone. Causing chaos among the Savage Six, they didn't see Jay flying up in the with new Vulture and Electra going after him in the air.
"Take it back to the place where you know it all began."
Jay started to sing to the duo while leaving Gamma and Carlos to ride Princess into the ruined street with Anastasia's team going after them. The huntress ordered the others to follow them as they saw Princess taking her friends into a building. Scorpia and Bearboar Guy looked around to see if they couldn't find any trace of the VK and symbiote wolf.
"We could be anything we wanna be."
Carlos's voice echoed through the shadows as Scorpia fired acid from her tail to try and take the VK out. It made her annoyed that she missed as Bearboar Guy sniffed out if there were around, only for him to see a red eye glaring at him through the shadows.
"You can tell by the noise that the boys are back again, together making history."
Gamma spoke at him as he pulled out a blaster that he'd been given by Mojo as it was strong enough to send him through the wall. Seeing their teammate through the building, Anastasia let the Lizard go after him to only be stopped by Princess who tackled him in the street. Above the air was Jay, who was testing out his scarab suit while trying not to be shot out of the sky by Vulture and Electra.
"It's time to show how to be a VK. Just like a showdown, between Hercules and Aladdin. We're the best, no doubt, doing it like we used to do This is our time and we're telling you all!"
He announced before firing several rockets from his back that brought down Vulture to the ground. Back in the street were Gamma and Carlos working together in handling the huntress and Scorpia who were shooting at them with either acid attacks or hunting weaponry.
"The boys are back; the boys are back! The boys are back and gonna do it again, going wake up the neighborhood! The boys are back; the boys are back! Climbing up the walls anytime we want, the word is out, the boys are back."
Carlos and Gamma sang while avoiding getting shot at as the Cruella boy used his tentacles to deflect the bullets that the huntress was firing at them. Continuing to use his metallic arms to his advantage, Gamma decided to handle Anastasia by himself due to being more experienced than Scorpia. She pulled out a set of machetes and tried to stab him, only for Gamma to block her attacks and use a knife that was on his belt to face her in close combat.
"Keep coming with the right, win the fight every single time. Undefeated here in our house, yeah."
Continuing the song which confused the huntress since she didn't know what the cyborg was doing and making a fool out of himself. They continued fighting while in the air was Electra letting out bolts of electricity at Jay whose suit was durable enough to withstand the attacks that she was discharging.
"We can rock, we can shock, anytime we like. And tonight we're going all out"
Jay yelled before reflecting the electricity to her causing Electra to fall out of the sky and hit one of the buildings. Looking down to see Carlos doing his best to defend himself from Scorpia's tail, Jay flew down to assist him but was taken in midair by the lizard. The Cruella VK had trouble managing the tentacles before realizing there was more to it than smashing and throwing stuff.
"It's time to show how to be a VK. Just like a showdown, keep the pedal to the metal. We're the best, no doubt, doing it like we used to do. This is our time and we're telling you all!"
Informing her as Carlos deactivated them to revert into Ocktoids as they flew over and swarmed around her. Unable to destroy them, they sprayed Scorpia in green slime then solidified her body making it impossible for her to break free. Before he could celebrate the win, Vulture and Bearboar Guy rushed him leaving the VK to do parkour over several items to avoid being assaulted leaving Scorpia to use her tail to try and melt the slime.
"The boys are back; the boys are back! The boys are back and gonna do it again, going wake up the neighborhood! The boys are back; the boys are back! Climbing up the walls anytime we want, the word is out, the boys are back."
The VK boys shouted toward the Savage Six before Anastasia let out a yell in frustration before grabbing a smoke bomb from her belt and blinded Gamma. It left him to fall back and get caught in a net she threw over him, Carlos was able to run over to help Gamma up as well as Jay who managed to get away from the lizard who regrouped with the Savage Six as they started to surround the trio.
"Here to save the world! To solve the mystery, fight the battle, and save our friends. No one can stop us now. We're the ones that make the rules!"
Jay and Carlos announced before hearing a howl coming from side to show Princess leaping through the air and landed by their side to protect them. Following the rhythm of their singing, the symbiote wolf lunged into action and was able to withstand all the Savage Six attacks and projectile assaults. She used her tendrils to flay them around violently where they took out Anastasia's weapons as well as her teammates, all in the while laughing in her fight.
"The boys are back; the boys are back! The boys are back and gonna do it again, going wake up the neighborhood! The boys are back; the boys are back! Climbing up the walls anytime we want, no need to worry!"
Princess joined their singing as they combined their skills to overwhelm each of the villains. From Jay taking out Vulture's wings to make him hit a tree to Carlos using Electra's powers against Scorpia who was electrocuted. Gamma was handling Lizard who noticed him wearing a collar on his neck which he rips off before slamming the reptile to the ground. The Huntress saw her team being taken down quickly and realized she'd be defeated.
"The boys are back; the boys are back! The boys are back, gonna do it again and we make it look good. The boys are back; the boys are back! Tearing down the walls, anytime we want. I'm sure that you know by now."
Jay and Carlos pointed toward Anastasia as they didn't notice Bearboar Guy coming up from behind in an attempt to kill them with a large boulder. It was short-lived by Princess eating him in one chomp, the wolf finished her meal as the four did a pose toward the huntress ready to finish their fight.
"The boys are back."
Finishing their song that made Anastasia confused at the fight she'd experienced. Looking at the remaining members of her team struggling to get up, the huntress called for a retreat as they ran back to the forest to recuperate from their humiliation. They left behind the lizard who groaned in confusion at what was happening as he noticed the boys and symbiote wolf.
"What's happening? Where am I?"
He asked them about what was going on which left the impression that the lizard was forced to participate in Mojo's game. Deciding to help him out and find a place to look for cover, they were being observed by Mojo's fans who were cheering at the fight and singing that they had the privilege of seeing. Mojo himself enjoyed the sight as well as felt his people's cheer making him stronger, it was a win-win situation for him whether the VK survived his game or not. All that mattered was his ratings and becoming all-powerful.
