Regardless || Carlos De Vil || B2 || ✔️

.:: Chapter 11 : It's Goin' Down ::.

.:: Uma's POV ::.

Harry walked up and brought his hook dangerously close to Ben, who was tied up against one of the poles holding up the sail.

"Harry, chill," I frowned. "We don't want damaged goods." He huffed, "You said that I could hook him!" he said through gritted teeth. "I said at noon," I rolled my eyes, looking over to see if Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos came with the wand yet. Harry grabbed his watch and dangled it by Ben's face. "20 minutes left~" he chuckled. "That says 30 minutes till noon," Ben frowned. Harry growled and walked off, probably to talk to (Y/n) down below.

A few minutes later, Gil shouts. "Hey guys! They're here!" Gil yelled, smiling."About time!" Harry came back upstairs and chuckled, caressing his hook."Finally!" I smirked, laughing. "Before you fork over the wand, I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of the pirate crew!" Harry chuckled, "I can't wait to see the look on the little dog's face when he sees who it is..."

.:: Carlos' POV ::.

I raised a brow suspiciously. "Should I be worried?" I whispered to Jay. "I think you should be very worried," Jay frowned.
"(Y/n)!" Uma yelled. My heart started beating rapidly, "Come on out."

(Y/n) cames walking out from below the deck. She was all decked out in pirate attire in blacks, reds, and whites. She chuckled, "Hello, Carlos." "(Y-Y/n)? What.. what happened to you?" I stuttered, walking forward. Mal held me back.

"Uma happened... she helped me realize who I really am. I don't want to be some prissy princess back on Auradon. Plus, who am I to soil my family's legacy by dating our enemy? Why not keep up the tradition~?" She stepped forward and motioned for me to come closer. I cautiously move over to her, "You told me that you loved me regardless of that," I said, worried to hear what she had to say in response. "This isn't you." She grabbed ahold of my shirt and pulled me just inches away from her face. "I ride with the tide, Carlos. The (Y/n) you loved? Is gone. You've only got me, now. The real me." she pushed me backwards. I stagger and nearly fell over, but Mal caught me. "Careful..." she muttered.

"Oh! And now I have someone who I actually love, Harry," she smirked at me, looking over at her new "lover". Harry smirked, walking over to her, and kissed her passionately. She grinned, kissing back.

Tears weld up in my eyes as my stomach churned at the sight, "What..? What about me? What about us?" "Alright, break it up, you two," Uma pulls them apart, chuckling."We're not together anymore, Carlos." she smirked, "Why don't you go run off with that Jane chick that broke us up before? I'm sure she'd love to get her hands on you," she laughed.

I remained completely silent - I was speechless. The girl I loved just dumped me straight up in front of me with my best friend's enemy?

That's it. My real, true girlfriend was gone.

.:: Your POV  ::.

"Let's get this party started," Uma began to say. "You need some motivation, Mal? Just look at Ben's face then ask yourself how long you think I remain patient! I'll throw him overboard and let him swim with killer sharks, you either hand over the wand or he'll be ripped apart!" Uma spat. "Now, let's all just be smart, although, for you? That must be hard," Mal smirks. "You'll get your wand - no one has to come to any harm! There's no need to intimidate, your bark is much worse than your bite!" Mal replied.

"Let's go, then. Bring it on, you better give us what we want. It's the wand for the crown, if you don't..." Uma said, trailing off. "Alright. Let's go. Make your move - peace or war? It's up to you. Give Ben up and do it now, if you don't it's goin' down!" Mal said in reply, eyes narrowing.

"We want the wand or else the king is gone," you said, crossing your arms. "Your time is running out, lads, you should really watch your mouth," Harry chuckled.

"Let's go! We'll stand our ground!" Jay said, throwing his fist in his air. "Put your swords up, it's goin' down!" Carlos said. I noticed the tears in his eyes and I smirked. So vulnerable. Poor little Carlos.

"Make the trade, or walk the plank," Harry grinned. Mal sighed, "Okay, look, this is not a conversation, Uma, it's a do or die situation. If you don't give me back the King, I'll have no hesitation to serve you right here! That way your whole 'pirate crew' could have a demonstration. Release him now, and we can go our separate ways, unless you want to deal with me, and the VKs?" Mal said, ready to talk this through without fighting. Uma laughed, stepping closer to her. "So that's your big speech huh? And empty ultimatum?"

"All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate him," Harry walked up to Mal, smirking. "Matter of fact? Make one wrong move and i'll debilitate you!" He turns over to Ben and Ben looks at him with fear. "And if you even start to slip, I'll eliminate you! All it takes is one wrong look and I'll-""Baby!" You said, walking over to him, "We get it, sexy. Chill." Harry chuckled and pecked your lips. "Whatever you say, Lass~"

"Hey!" Ben said. Everyone looked at him. "We don't have to choose. We don't need to. Mal? Whatever you do it's gonna be a lose-lose, there's gotta be a better way!" He looked at Mal then turned to Uma. "Uma! I promise I'll give you your chance, you'll have your say," he said. She laughed, "Silly, King! You? Give me? You're gonna give me a chance?" Uma walked over to him a knelt down at him, smirking, "Not a chance."

"Alright! Enough chatter! Let's get this battle started, NOW." Uma drew her sword and Mal did the same.

The Battle for the King has begun.

In other word, haha, I can't believe you guys thought Carlos was dead! It was just a dream sequence. He's still alive and well.

2019 author: Yeah... had to rewrite that scene because of Cam. It still doesn't feel real. I pushed rewriting this cause I didn't want to deal with knowing he's gone again :(
