Descendants: The Rise of Red

We're Out of Time

"ON MY COMMAND!" Bridget announces.

Makeficent's eyes flash green. In only a few seconds, the army of Goblins in the Forbbiden Forest flock to their side with a puff of green magic. This wasn't gonna end well. Ulyana was prepared to blast her enemy with her Wand and rid herself of that annoying Princess once and for all.

"NO! NO! STOP!" Ella runs in front of them before turning back to her friends. "Please, guys. You have to STOP this!"

"It's too late. She brought this on herself!"

Malik twitches his fingers. Surrounded by a green aura, Ella is paralyzed and tossed to the side. "Stop, please!" She pleads. "Let her go, we'll need a good swordsman" Ulyana nods at her lackey. Hook lets Chloe go and she runs to Red, Malachi, and Scarlett.

"We have to stop them."

"No way, I'm on their side" Scarlett smiles, licking his teeth. Malachi's eyes glow green.

"This actually looks fun" Red smirks.

"No, no, guys, this is not what we're here for!" Chloe reminded them, but they already tuned her out.

Soon enough, they heard screaming and fighting began. Malik flew into the sky and handled his sister, their green energy and fire lighting up the sky. Malik throws a flurry of savage bolts of green energy to his sister. Dragon Maleficent ducks and swerves, narrowly avoiding the crackling.

On the ground, the young villains were able to disarm some of the guards and had their own weapons. It was an all-out war.

Everyone was fighting. There was nothing but chaos. Taka leaped across them and found himself in a bottle with Morgie, his blocking his magic and Morgie blocking his deadly swipes. "Taka, stop!" Mufasa tries to intervene, but Taka kicks him away. "I prefer Scar now!"

A reminder of his mistake. And a promise that it'll never happen again.

Chleo lost sight of Red, Malachi, and Scarlett, who joined the War. She had to stop them. If this went on, both times would be ruined. No one wins this way.

"NO! STOP! JUST LISTEN TO ME!" Chloe pleads, trying to end it all, but she is pushed and shoved away. Through the havoc, she was able to spot Ulyana, who was in a battle with Bridget, their swords clashing.

If she could get through to Ulyana, this all ends. She jumps onto the ledge of the fountain to get her attention. "ULYANA STOP! You don't have to do this!"

"YES I DO!" Ulyana screams as she gains the advantage. Ursula would've finished this in a minute. What would she say?

"No, you don't! You just feel like you have to. Your sister makes you feel like you could never live up to her. She makes it feel like that's a bad thing. And I know how that feels, but together" She walks up to the two of them as they stop fighting and look at her. "You don't have to fight. You don't have to try and live up to her. You can be better. Make your own story. Together, you two can be great. Sometimes change...is a good thing" As the princess says this, she makes eye contact with Red, Malachi, and Scarlett, who stopped fighting to listen.

Suddenly, they felt the entire land shaking. the ground was rumbling, they tried to keep their balance. Cracks were forming on the school bricks. Malik and Maleficent dropped to the ground, Maleficent back in her human form.

" LOOK! " Scarlett shouted from below at the clouds opening. A gust of wind had swooped in a showed them a vision of Auradon. Ruined. The Queen of Hearts was shrieking "REEEEEEEED!"

"Oh, no" Red looks up in fear. "Guys, we have to go!" Red was able to swipe the pocketwatch from Ulyana while she was distracted and the four regrouped. She tried to close it, waiting for the golden energy to take them back home.

Nothing happened.

"Why won't it work?" Scarlett asks.

"Our parents must be trying to stop us," Red says. "How do we get back home?"

"Through there!" Chloe points up. "Maybe we could get up there."

"Is that...me?" Bridget walks up to them and asks. Red wasn't gonna tell her, but this adventure changed her somehow. She didn't know how, but she saw her mom in a whole different light. "Yes. That's you from the future and you're threatening to take over the Kingdom. We came back in time to stop whatever made you evil."

Ulyana looks up. She caused this? She looked around as Chloe's words got to her. True, this all would've made Ursula giddy, but would it do the same for her? All she wanted was to prove that she was better than Ursula, but is this the way to do it?

"Wait, Red! I have an idea!" Chloe says. "What if she came with us?"

"WHAT?" The three yell.

"Think about it. She and Malik. We can't talk them out of this cause it's just us. But maybe the only people who can talk them out of it is...themselves."

"Chloe, that is completely-"

"Brilliant!" Red smiles. As she grabs Red's shoulder, she turns back to Bridget and Malik. "Will you guys come with us?"

"Would we be enough?" Malik asks.

"Maybe not, but I will be" Ulyana walks up to them. "If what you're saying is true. That means I caused this. Your Princess is right. The only way to prove I'm better than Ursula is to actually be better, not be like her."

"Of course" Maleficent scoffs as the gang looks down at their "leader."

"You know what, Maleficent? You can lead the group. From what I'm seeing, your stories aren't really gonna work out."

"What about Scar?" Chloe asks, looking at Scarlett, who shakes his head. "There's no saving him from that poison. Let's focus on your parents. How do we get up there?"

"We can help! But we're coming with you!" Fay, Zellie, Aladdin, Jasmine, and Prince Charming run up to them. Malik looks over at Ella, still paralyzed. He snaps and frees her. "Ella, will you help us?"

"You guys go! I'll stay here and take care of our time, be safe."

"Thank you, Ella."

"Anything for my best friends" Ella gives her two best friends a tight hug. "Be safe."

"Okay..." Fay takes a deep breath before waving her Wand. "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" The group of teenagers levitates into the air, surrounded by a blue and silvery glittery aura. They vanish as the red clouds consume them.

Ulyana switched sides! Dud y'all think that was gonna happen? I don't know if it'll happen in the movie or not, but I bet Beast being...Beast, still imprisoned her on the Isle. Sorry I didn't write the battle as big as I promoted, but I hope it was big. It'll probably be big in the movie as Kyliee promoted. Now as fun as the past was, it's now time to return to the present and face the villains once and for all. They tried the easy way out, but now it's time to face it dead on. They got this...right? Stay safe and have a great day or night, wherever you are.
