The King of Mean

Strike Back

| Third Person POV |

Things have not been the same since Carlos's shocking betrayal. Ben has enployed several security measures, Jay is now bunking alone and Jane is still trying to process the betrayal and how she unwittingly had contributed to Carlos's pain and rage that lead to it. Jay was sitting on his bed looking at a old picture of him and Carlos when he heard a knock on the door.

Jay: "Come in!"

Mal and Evie walked into the room.

Mal: "Hey...How are you feeling?"

Jay: "Not good...I feel so bad. I feel like this is all my fault. I was such a jerk to him on the isle and then when we came here I thought we patched things up with him but then I was a complete idiot and turned on him with no ground to stand on and this happened. I feel so horrible."

Evie: "Jay, don't just blame yourself. We all contributed somehow to this incident, including me. Im not innocent in this. All we can do Is stay on guard and just hope Carlos comes around."

Mal: "We can only hope though."

Evie: "M, I know deep down he still has that innocence we just need to-"

Thats when Varian bursted into the room

Varian: "Guys! Carlos has my dad."

Mal: "Ah yes. Kidnapping, I so believe he's so "innocent"."

Evie: "Well maybe not so much on the outside but-"

Jay: "How do you know Carlos has your dad?"

Varian took out a note from his bag and handed it to Jay. Jay read it and the group headed to Fairy Godmother's Office along with Ben, Audrey, Jane, Lonnie, Luca, Alberto, and the other heroes.

Varian: "He wants to see me, at midnight at the Museum for a "Pleasant Chat."

Luca: "Absolutely not. Carlos has committed theft and Kidnapping and you still think theirs good in him?! He'd kill you!"

Ben: "Now hold on, lets be rational.."

Dizzy: "Rational?! Your asking me to be Rational!! Carlos is a THREAT To Auradon!! We need to hunt him down!"

Evie: "Dizzy lets just cal-"

Dizzy: "Are you defending him?! I'd thought you were better then this..."

Evie: "And I thought you weren't petty."

Mal: "Enough! Doesn't matter if its the moonstone or not, Carlos is already becoming a major threat. He has Varian's dad.."

Varian: "Which is why I have to be the one to go! Im a former villain! I can reason with him."

Dizzy: "Uh your a former villian yourself.Put Former in qoutes, how can we even trust YOU?"

Varian: "OH YOU HAVE SOME NERVE TO SAY THAT AS THE GRANDAUGHTER OF LADY TREMAINE!"

Dizzy: "HOW DARE YOU?! GO BE A NERD SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU TWO FACED GOOGLES!"

Varian: "Looks like your makeup is going dry. I'd suggest you rush to the nearest vanity."

Pascal: "OH MY PEACHES ENOUGH!!!"

Everyone gasped.

Cassandra: "Um...Did he Just-"

Pascal: "Yeah I did. Look I agree you caused Him to turn agianst us but I trust Carlos almost as much as I trust Gothel and yeah...."

Ben: "Isn't that a little harsh?"

Dizzy: "That isn't harash enough..."

Cassandra: "Fighting isn't gonna get us anywhere. I agree with Varian. I been evil before and we turned around, same with Varian and Audrey. The three of us can maybe get to him. We just need to give Carlos A Chance. I know that innocence is still in him deep down. Someone is pulling the strings..and I think I know who it is."

Belle: "Zhan Tiri? But she's on the isle."

Cassandra: "People got out before. Maleficent, Uma, Hades nearly. Also speaking of Uma that helps my Point. Uma and her crew were evil but Mal gave them a chance and they turned good. Also say what you want about Hades, he did some reprehensible things like trying to Kill Hercules sure, but at least he's making up being a good father to her and Hadie unlike Gothel. I hate her so much I can't even call her my mom."

Eugene: "Are you sure speaking to him is a good idea?"

Cassandra: "Yeah...just Me, Varian and Audrey though. We don't want too many people."

Beast: "What about her parents? Her grandparents? Flora, Fauna and Maryweather? They'd all be worried sick."

Audrey: "Not a problem. I already planned on talking to him. Im ready."

Later at Midnight, Cass, Audrey and Varian all arrived at the front of the Museum.

Cassandra: "Why did Carlos say just you?"

Varian: "I didn't tell them everything. Carlos made it clear that if I didn't get him Fairy Godmother's wand, he'd kill dad. I'd didn't mention that part, everyone would loose their minds if they didn't already."

Audrey: "We can't give him the Wand Varian."

Varian: "I know that. I wanna try to get to him. Its not gonna be easy though."

Thats when Carlos walked out of the shadows towards the group.

Carlos: "I Asked for Varian only but whatever I guess.."

Cassandra: "We can't give you the wand."

Carlos: "(sigh) Such a pitty Cassandra. You know I sympathize with you. I really do. But you really do like making things difficult don't you? Let me guess, your friends told you it was a bad idea to go alone."

Varian: "Carlos! Please, Let us help you...please"

Carlos: "GIVE ME THE WAND VARIAN!!"

Spikes start rising from the ground

Cassandra: "Carlos! I know how it feels to be overshadowed by other people your entire life!! I been there! Carlos, you are so much more then a villain!"

Carlos: "Well....this is disappointing. I really wanted things to go smoothly but...you forced my hand."

Carlos poured a bottle of poisonous gas all over and quickly put a mask on. Varian tried getting to Carlos but Carlos knocked him back with spikes.

Varian: "C-Carlooo...Plea-Ugh"

All three past out right in front of Carlos. Gothel and Zhan Tiri appeared

Zhan Tiri: "excellent work Carlos."

Zhan Tiri snapped her finger and teleported the three away.

Carlos: "I did what I had to. Now they didn't cooperate, now what?"

Zhan Tiri: "we imprison them and tell Mal they will die unless they bring us the wand."

Carlos: "Why can't we just take it?"

Gothel: "as mentioned before only Auradon heroes may have access to it so we need to get someone to bring it to us."

Carlos: "I don't care what it takes. I'm getting that wand."
