The next day myself, Mal, and Evie were back at the old garage at the entrance to Pirates Bay when the limo drove up and out came Jay, Carlos, and... Lonnie?
"I'll get the swords"
Jay says as he goes to the trunk of the car
"Lonnie!"
Exclaims Mal
"I made them bring me"
Lonnie explains, I bow to Lonnie in a mocking fashion
"M'lady"
I joke, we share a laugh while Jay and Carlos grab the swords and... Dude, apparently
"I told you to stay!"
Carlos says exasperated
"I flunked obedience class"
Dude responds
"Great, and he can still talk"
Jay says sarcastically
"Your lucky I love you"
Carlos says as he takes the mutt out from the car along with the fake wand
"Ooh, here, let me see it"
Mal gestures for Carlos to give her the wand
"Wow, what a beauty"
"It's noon"
Carlos reminds
"Alright, are we ready?"
Mal asks
"Yeah"
Evie replies holding a backpack full of smoke bombs. We go down to Pirates Bay where Uma and the lost revenge crew were awaiting our arrival
"Hey guys, they're here"
Gil exclaims sing-songidly from atop the ship's mast, and Harry with his flair for Dramatics pushes the still tied up Ben to the side and outstretched his arms
"Welcome!"
He announced
"Finally!"
Uma laughed. Uma threatened Ben's life as Harry pushed him to the plank as "negotiation" began, though frankly there wasn't much negotiating just a lot of threatening, Mal and Uma threatened each other for god knows how long until Ben tried to be the voice of reason which quite frankly, he shouldn't have because it just made Harry want to kill him faster. Eventually the threatening ended and the switch began, Uma walked up to Mal as she handed over the wand
"Hold up"
Uma halted
"Too easy, why don't you give it a test drive, we want to see it work"
Mal scoffs
"You always were quite the drama queen"
Mal looks around hoping for a miracle as dude walks to the dock
"Oh, and nothing too big, or else Ben is fish bait"
Uma specifies
"We're dead"
Carlos squeaks, Evie leans over to him and whispers something in his ear when Mal turns around he gestures his head to dude who was standing a couple feet away, Mal turns to the dog and begins to recite a phony spell
"Although it seems absurd, turn your bark into a word"
She waves the wand and waits for dude to speak but, nothing
"Talk, dog"
She orders
"Does this vest make me look fat?"
Dude whispers, the Pirates erupt into laughter
"Hey, does anyone have some bacon? Cookies?"
Dude asks as the pirates continue the hysterics
"Give me the wand!"
Uma demands
"Give me Ben!"
Mal yells
"Harry, bring him over"
Uma order, Harry drags Ben over while Gil talks Ben's ear off, Harry drops Ben at Mal's feet as she gives a small look of fear
"Aw, cut him loose, Harry"
Uma orders
"I never get to have any fun"
Harry sighs as he cuts Ben loose, Mal gives Uma the wand and the pirates cheer and rejoice
"Ben, go!"
Mal orders, though Ben tried to push past her
"Go!"
Mal yells, Uma and the pirates gather around the deck of the ship while Uma recites a spell
"By the power of the sea, tear it down and set us free!"
Uma chants but nothing happens, Uma snaps the wand in two as she realizes it's fake and we all make a run for the smoke bombs and swords
"You do not get to win everytime!"
Uma yells, Jay tips over a barrel where he hid the swords and Lonnie tosses each of us a sword while carlos shoots smoke bombs at the pirates as a fight ensues, I end up fighting with a small jet black haired pirate, the sound of crashing metal near deafening, I knock the sword out of the pirate's hand, jump down to the lower part of the dock and over to Lonnie
"I have an idea but it's not a good one"
I say as I knock a pirate into the water below
"What is it?"
Lonnie asks, knocking the sword from her opponents hand
"Well, I could piss off Uma so she'll attack me and if she causes me enough harm it will distract Harry because he'll want to come save my ass and then y'all can make a quick get away and I can probably catch up with y'all"
I explain
"Yeah, that is a horrible idea"
Lonnie says kicking her opponent to the water
"Should I do it?"
I ask
"Is my opinion gonna stop you?"
Lonnie replies
"...Nope"
I say as I run off to Uma
"What are you doing?!"
Lonnie yells
"Something that's gonna get me killed!"
I yell back. I run to Mal and Uma getting in the middle of them blocking Uma's sword
"Hiya!"
I say sing-songidly
"Oh, Raina, your still alive"
Uma says sarcastically
"Mal, run"
I say under my breath as I push Uma's sword back into her
"Bargaining my cousin's life for a magic wand? That's just sad"
I say, egging on Uma
"Some may even say... shrimpy"
Suddenly Uma cracked, she pins me to the fence and stabs me through the abdomen
"Yeah... saw that one coming"
I wince and Uma tosses me to the water, the salt water stinging my open wound, I take a sharp panicked breath in and instantly regret it, I start coughing only resulting in more water intake which, mixed with the blood loss made my hearing distant and my vision fade
"Raina!!"
I hear from above the water, suddenly I see Harry's hook fall into the ocean followed by Harry, just as my vision goes dark he grabs the hook then comes for me. My vision returns and I see Harry looking down at me, panting while I start hacking out sea water, and I feel an intense pain in my ribs like they had just been crushed to pieces
"Love... Raina, are you alright?"
Harry asks panicked while he runs his hands through my soaked hair
"Yeah... yeah, I'm alright. Did I just die? Because my broken ribs are telling me yes"
I gasp, still wincing from the pain trying to heal the wound
"More or less. Here, let me help"
Harry takes a belt of red fabric from his waist and my dagger, tightly tying it around my wound creating a makeshift tourniquet and helps me to my feet
"Thanks baby"
I gasp
"Yeah no problem, I'm just glad your ok"
Harry sighs, he helps me back up onto the docks and he dives into the water, I see the VK's and Ben making a break for the garage with Lonnie trailing behind, she sees me struggling to walk and runs back over to me letting me use her for support as we make it to the garage where Jay had already started the car, me and Lonnie put our swords in the trunk and I stumbled into the back of the limo and continued to work in my still bleeding abdomen as the others run into the car
"Whoah, what happened to you?"
Ben asks
"What do you think?"
I pant, Ben just nods his head and turns to Mal
"I'm really sorry things didn't go the way you wanted them to"
Ben apologizes
"I mean...as long as you're safe that's..."
Mal trails off
"I mean, at least I got to see the Isle. They're my people too. Uma helped me see that"
Ben says
"Ben, Uma captured you"
Mal reminds
"She's an angry girl with a bad plan. That's not so different from you when you came to Auradon, Mal"
Ben reasons, the two sit in awkward silence for a couple seconds until we're all reminded Dude can talk
"Awkward"
Dude says, myself, Evie, and Carlos look down at the mutt in exasperated shock
"Dog... don't"
I sigh
"Dude, I know you can talk but it doesn't always mean you should"
Carlos lectures.
