Ben watched as the magic bridge disappeared, and he let out a mighty roar. He began to grow larger in size and started to grow fur. Not hair. Fur. Horns raised from his head and he roared again. He had transformed into a beast, possibly even more beastly than his father before him. He looked at himself in a mirror before letting out yet another roar. Belle and Adam rushed into the room to see what the commotion was, and were shocked to see their son in such a form.

"Ben! Ben please!" his mother begged.

"Ben, this isn't the direction you want your life to go!" Adam told him. "Ben, you have an unborn child to think about!"

But Ben couldn't hear them. He had already transformed himself and placed himself under a curse that he could not be saved from without true love and beauty in his heart.

"No!" Belle exclaimed, falling in despair. "No!"

But it was too late. Ben had already transformed into the same hideous beast his father had so many years ago. Evie, Doug, Audrey and Chad ran in to see what all of the noise was about. They gaped in shock when they saw their friend and king in the form of a hairy, scary beast.

"LEAVE!" he bellowed, and the party of six ran out of his room in terror.

"I have to go to the Isle and get Mal back here," Evie said.

"Evie, your mother is back there!" Doug argued.

"I say we all band together in a group and get them all back here," Audrey piped up.

"Audrey? Not you, too," Doug gasped, feeling betrayed.

"I hate the villains, but I want to give Maleficent another chance," Audrey replied quietly. "I can only imagine how she felt when my grandfather invited everyone but her to my mother's christening. He was selfish, and I want to be... the opposite of him. I want to bring everyone back home. If we don't do it now, they may get too settled in back on the Isle and turn. Let's bring them back, guys."

"Audrey has a point, guys," Uma points out. "It is literally now or never to save them all and bring Mal back here to save Ben."

"I can't believe I'm agreeing," Jay started, "but they're right. We need to go get them. Doug, I need you to get two limos for us. Audrey, Chad, go with Doug. Lonnie, you and I will go get the swords. Uma, Harry, Gil, I need you two to get a map of the Isle and mark the places we look and the places to avoid. Harriet, you pack food and water. Evie, I need you to whip up some Isle outfits for Doug, Lonnie, Chad and Audrey. We're in for a long ride. We meet by the limos in an hour. Let's go!"

"Okay, now we have the swords, let's get out of here!" Jay exclaimed to Lonnie.

"Where do you two think you're going?" Adam said, stepping in front of them.

"I-I... Sir, we need to lead a covert operation to bring Mal and the others back to Auradon to save them and Ben," Jay told him.

Adam nodded knowingly. "Kick Isle butt out there, Jay," he smiled mischievously. "You, too, Lonnie."

"Thank you, Sir!" they called as they ran off.

"Call me Adam!" he called after them.

Lonnie and Jay finally got to the limo. Evie handed Lonnie her outfit which she quickly ran inside to change into. Audrey, Chad and Doug were already changed into their Isle outfits. Finally, Lonnie came back, and, with hope in hand and swords in the trunk, they were off to the Isle of the Lost to bring back their friends. They crossed over the magical golden bridge and watched behind them as it closed. It was officially on. The Isle of the Lost was going down.
