Serene p.o.v 
I hopped onto the ship and headed to Uma, Harry and Gil.
"Hey guys," I greeted, stealing some of Gil's fries. I noticed the looks on their faces. They were looks of triumph.
"I know those looks, I've seen those looks, I like those looks, what did you do?" I asked, eagerly. Harry looked at Uma and she nodded. Harry walked off, nodding his head at me to follow him.
He led me to the ship and showed me, tied to the post, was King Ben. I smirked.
"Your highness," I said sarcastically. I turned to Harry. "I head off for five minutes and you kidnap the king of boredon?"
Harry nodded, pleased. But then his expression fell slightly.
"Mal, Jay, Evie and Carlos are coming with the wand, if you don't want to...,"
I interrupted him. "And miss out on my chance for revenge? Not gonna happen, I'll be here and we'll take them down, together," I said, determined. Harry nodded and walked off.
"You know them?"
I spun around to face the king. "Of course I do, they were family before you took them away," I accused. Ben looked at me, shocked by my outburst. "But I guess you wouldn't know that, they probably never mentioned me, right?"
The King was silent for a moment. 
"Who are you and who are your parents?" He finally asked.
"I'm Serene, my dad is Shere Khan, not that it really matters, and my mother is unknown, not many kids know who both their parents are I'm afraid,"
"You know you don't have to do this, you have a choice," Ben said, as I began to walk away. I turned around and glanced at him.
"Look your majesty, this is the Isle, you're evil or you're dead, simple as, you see, there is no choice, maybe there is back in Auredon, but this ain't your home," I started to walk off, I paused, not turning around. "And what makes you think I'll trust you? I don't trust anyone, not anymore,"
"What about your friends?"
I scoffed. "Didn't you hear what I said? This ain't your turf. You don't get friends on the Isle, you get robbed, attacked and maybe even killed, that is the life we have, the life you and your father left us with! So do not, ever, act as if I have a choice. I've never had a choice,"
That said I headed off, waiting for the VK's in the captains quarters. 
"Welcome!" Harry's voice yelled. They were here.
"Finally," I heard Uma say. Music started and an intense rap battle began.

'🎵okay look, this is not a conversation
it's a do or die situation                                             
if you don't give me back the king I'll have no hesitation                                                                       
I'll serve you right here, and I don't need no reservation
that way your whole 'pirate crew' can have a demonstration                                                               
release him now and we can go our separate ways (I opened the doors and headedout, Uma and Mal not noticing)                                             
unless you wanna deal with me and the VK's 🎵'
'My turn,' I thought. As I come into view, I see all eyes on me.
 '🎵So that's your big speech huh, an empty ultimatum🎵' Harry joins me.
H: '🎵All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate him🎵'                                                                                 
S: '🎵matter of fact, one wrong move and I'll debilitate him🎵'                                             
H: '🎵and if he even starts to slip I'll eliminate him    all it takes is one look and I'll...🎵'
'🎵Harry!, we get it. Chill'🎵
We continue to sing until Mal steps forward, holding the wand. Then Ben interrupts, but I don't listen until I hear my name.
🎵'Serene, I promise I'll give you a chance, you'll have your sayyy'🎵
Everyone looks at me, I make a decision. I smirk.

🎵'Silly king,                                                                     
you give me                                                                   
you're gonna give make chance                                 
well not a chanceeeeeee'🎵 I sing.

Uma and Harry grin, both pleased and proud, while Ben looks disappointed and hopeless. The VK's look at me, sorrowful.
"Wait," I say, as we finish singing. The VK's look at me hopefully. "Too easy," They instantly fall. Uma nodded.
"Test it," she commands. My eyes land on a dog. We don't have dogs on the Isle, do we? Mal follows my eyes and decides to spell it.
"All though it may seem absurd," she chanted. "Turn your bark into a word,"
The dog sits there, silent. Mal looks...panicked.
"Speak, dog," she orders, sounding urgent.
"Does this vest make me look fat?" It...he asked. I stared amazed.
"Give me the wand," Uma ordered.
"Give me Ben!" Mal yells back. Uma glances at Harry. He groans.
"I never get to have any fun," he muttered, cutting Ben loose. We traded and the crew huddled together. Uma raised the wand to the sky. I stared, excited.
"By the power of the sky and sea, tear it down and set us free!" Uma chanted. Nothing happened.
"It's a fake!' I shouted, outraged, Uma seemed to share my anger. She snapped the fake wand, screaming 'No!'
"You do not get to win every time,"
And so the sword fighting began, I saw Gil on the ground, Carlos standing over him. I rushed towards them. My sword clashed against Carlos'. 
"Gil go!" I yelled. He scurried off. Carlos looked at me.
"Serene I don't wanna fight you,"
"Too bad, cause I wanna fight you,"
Our swords rang as they hit each other. But just as I was winning, I felt am arm wrap around my waist and I was thrown over Jay's shoulder, my sword clattering to the ground. I saw that I was being taken with them.
"UMA!" I screamed. "HARRY! GIL!"
"SERENE!" Uma yelled, rushing over, but she was too late, Evie dropped a smoke bomb and the VK's escaped, taking me with them. Away from my crew.
