ROYALTY | CARLOS DE'VIL

part 13

HARRY HAD BEN and I beside a plank, waiting for Mal and the others to join us.

"Ben, if anything happens-"

"Nothing is gonna happen, Bella," Ben assures me. 

"This is all my fault, Ben. If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't be here right now,"

"B, It's gonna be okay. Mal will save us. Carlos will be here," Ben says.

"Hey, guys! They're here!" Gil yelled.  The pirates erupted in cheers.

"Welcome!" Harry greeted.

"Finally!" Uma laughs. It all comes down to this.

( START VIDEO HERE )

"Let's get this party started.I swear I'm cold-hearted. There's no negotiation. I'm not here for debatin'. You need some motivation? Just look at their faces. Then ask yourself how long you think I'll remain patient. I'll throw them overboard and let them swim with killer sharks. You either hand over the wand or they'll be ripped apart" Uma exclaims.

"Now, let's all just be smart. Although for you that must be hard," Mal says. Uma laughs at her.

"You'll get your wand- no one has to come to any harm! Don't try to intimidate. Your bark is much worse than your bite. Who's the baddest of them all? I guess we're finding out tonight!" Mal yells.

"Let's go! Bring it on! Better give us what we want. It's the wand for the crown. If you don't, it's going down," Uma's crew challenges.

"Let's go! Make your move! Peace or war, it's up to you. Give them up and do it now. If you don't, it's going down," Mal and the others fought back.

"We want the wand, or else your reign is gone. Your time is running out! You should really watch your mouth,"

"Let's go! Pound for pound. We're prepared to stand our ground. Put your swords up, put 'em up! It's going down!"

"Oh, oh, oh, make the trade! Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank! Oh, oh, oh, make the trade! Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank!"

"Ok, look, this is not a conversation. It's a do-or-die situation. If you don't give me back the reign, I'll have no hesitation. I'll serve you right here, and I don't need a reservation. That way your whole 'pirate crew' can have a demonstration. Release them now, and we can go our separate ways. Unless you wanna deal with me and the VKs," Mal proposes.

"So that's your big speech, huh? An empty ultimatum?" Uma questions. Harry steps in.

"All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate them. Matter of fact, make one wrong move and I'll debilitate them. And if they even start to slip, I'll eliminate them! All it takes is one long look and I'll-" Harry stepped closer to Mal playing around her.

"Harry! We get it, chill," Uma grabs onto Harry and pulls him back.

"Let's go! Bring it on! Better give us what we want. It's the wand for the crown. If you don't, it's going down," Uma's crew challenges.

"Let's go! Make your move! Peace or war, it's up to you. Give them up and do it now. If you don't, it's going down,"

"We want the wand, or else your reign is gone. Your time is running out! You should really watch your mouth,"

"Let's go! Pound for pound. We're prepared to stand our ground. Put your swords up, put 'em up! It's going down!" Carlos hands Mal something. It's the wand. Mal takes a step but gets stopped by Ben calling out to her.

"Hey, we don't have to choose. We don't have to light the fuse. Mal, whatever you do, it's gonna be a lose-lose. There's gotta be a better way. Uma, I promise I'll give you your chance. You'll have your say," Ben reasons.

"Silly king! You? Give me? You're gonna give me a chance? Well, not a chance" Uma laughs.

"Oh, oh, oh, make the trade! Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank! Oh, oh, oh, make the trade! Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank" Uma finishes in front of Mal. Mal rolls her eyes and hands Uma the wand.

"Hold up. Mm. Too easy. Why don't you give it a test drive? We want to see it work," Uma teases. Mal laughs.

"You always were quite the drama queen," Mal chuckles. Evie and Carlos had a panicked look on their face as Mal looked at them. Carlos cocked his head towards Dude who appeared out of nowhere.

 "Oh, and nothing too big, or else their fish bait," My body slumped. I really hope they know what they're doing. 

Mal turns around and faces Dude, "Although it seems absurd, turn your bark into a word!" Mal says a spell and waves the wand around.

Dude stood there for a second, "Does this vest make me look fat?" Dude asks.

All the pirates burst into laughter, "Hey, does anyone have some bacon? Cookies?"

"Give me the wand!" Uma exclaims.

"Give us Ben and Bella!" Carlos jumps in time.

"Harry, bring them over!" Uma orders. Harry grabs onto me and then Gil grabs Ben. They both drag us over to Mal and Carlos.

"Cut them loose, would ya?" Uma demands. Harry sighs as he cut Ben loose.

"I never get to have any fun," He cuts us loose. Carlos grabs my arm and pulls me into his chest.

"We need to leave," Carlos says, "It all comes down to this,"

Mal hands Uma the wand as she grabs Ben quickly, "Ben, go!" Mal begs as she pushes Ben back. Uma finally has the wand, who knows what shes gonna do next.

She begins to chant a spell, but nothing happens. It's a fake wand, "You do not get to win every time!" Uma yells as she snaps the fake in half.

Smoke bombs were being throw from left and right, I couldn't see where I was going.

"Hey there, pretty lady," I turn to meet the eyes of Harry Hook.

"Get away from me, Harry or I'll..." I try to find words but nothing came out.

"Or you'll what? No one can save you now, Darling," He says stepping closer.

"That's where you're wrong," Carlos jumped down from nowhere and came between Harry and I. He fought him off with his sword and pushed him overboard. 

"Let's get out of here, yeah?" Carlos said. I nodded my head and grabbed his hand.

Soon everyone got into the car and we were on our way back to Auradon, "I'm really sorry that things didn't go the way you wanted them too," Ben apologizes.

"I mean, as long as you're safe," Mal trials off.

"Well, at least I got to see the Isle. They're my people, too. Uma helped me see that," Ben says.

"Ben, Uma captured us," I say to him, "You're defending her right now?"

"She's an angry girl with a bad plan. That's not so different from when you came to Auradon, Mal," Ben defends.

"Awkward," Dude pipes in.

"Dude, I know you can talk, but it doesn't always mean you should," Carlos whispers. The tension was starting to build.

Tonight was not gonna end well.
