{THIRD PERSON POV}
The next morning Madi and Ben met up with Belle, Beast, and Fairy Godmother.
"I think we all know why we're here," Beast told the group, "The people are in a panic about Hades," Beast told Ben and Madi. Ben scoffed as Madi stayed silent with her arms crossed, "He almost got out."
"Who knows what he would've done if he had escaped?" Fairy Godmother asked.
"We can't risk having another villain on the loose," Beast told Ben and Madi.
"I really feel like this is my fault," Madi told the group, "I'm supposed to protect Auradon."
"You did," Ben told Madi, "You do protect Auradon."
"Every time we open the barrier, we're exposed to danger," Beast told the teens, "Maleficent, Uma, Hades."
Then all of sudden Ben's phone went off, Ben checked the text he received before turning to the group, "Maleficent's scepter and the Queen's crown have been stolen," Ben told the group. Fairy Godmother and Belle gasped in shock.
"Uma?" Beast exclaimed.
"We don't know that dad," Ben told his dad.
"When the people hear this, they will never want to leave their houses," Belle said, "What do we tell them?" Belle asked the group before turning to Madi, "Madi? What do we do? How do we keep evil out of Auradon?"
Madi thought for a moment as everyone turned to look at her, "I think that there's only...one way to guarantee their safety and I think that there..." Madi hesitated for a second, "...can't be anymore going in and out. I think we have to close the barrier...forever," Ben shook his head in disbelief as the adults nodded in agreement.
"No," Ben said as he started to walk away.
"Son," Beast called after Ben.
"No," Ben muttered as he walked away.
"Ben," Madi said, softly, as she followed her fiance.
"No, no, no, no," Ben muttered as he still continued to walk.
"Ben, hey," Madi said as she stopped Ben and grabbed Ben's hands, "I do not want to take away your dream, because it was so beautiful and it is why I fell in love with you but as Queen and King, what is our duty?"
"To protect Auradon," Ben muttered as he looked at Madi, "But do you know what this means? All those kids? Are you prepared for that?"
"I know what this means..." Madi nodded her head, sadly, "...and no, I am not prepared for it. I just think that we have no other choice."
"Son?" Beast said, softly as he stepped forward as Ben and Madi looked at him, "Madi's right."
"I just don't think that we would forgive ourselves if something terrible happened," Madi said as she stepped away from Ben.
