Maddy, daughter of Maleficent, was furious when her sister and friends went to Auradon. Left to defend herself, she was offered a place in Uma's crew.
Now Mal is back and trying to ruin the family Maddy knows would never abandon her. Or at least, t...

Rushing through the halls of the palace, the VKs mission had gained a new sense of urgency. Passing sleeping and stone people filled Maddy with determination to take down Audrey. All her friends had been cursed and even worse, they couldn't find Ben.
Luckily, Dude hadn't been spelled and due to being a dog, his sense of smell was able to help them find Ben even faster. Following Carlos' little fur ball, they hurried down the long corridor towards Ben's office, calling out for the King.
Gil stood next to Carlos asking him questions about Dude the dog, and Maddy chuckled at the frustration on Carlos' face and the inquisitive look on Gil's. Making a note to get Gil a rescue dog once this was all over, she paid no attention to Harry when he sidled next to her.
Every now and again, the dark haired boy would open his mouth before rethinking his words and falling silent. It was both annoying and amusing.
Just as she was about to put the poor boy out of his misery, Uma spotted a sliced portrait and deep gashes in the wall that looked like claw marks.
"Any chance this was here before?" Uma inquired, nudging the metal frame with her foot.
Dude led them into a large room with suits of armour dotting the room. However, there was no sign of Ben. Trying to block out Uma and Mal's bickering, Maddy swore she saw a suit of armour shift slightly. Apparently, she wasn't the only one as Carlos asked her if she saw it move.
"Do you like a prince, Mal? How about a knight in shining armour? Or knights?" Audrey's voice resonated throughout the room.
Suddenly, the armour pulled out their swords and began closing in on the eight VKs, forcing them together. Unsheathing her sword, Maddy stood at the front of the group, ready to fend off the knights until the others had gotten their own swords.
'Watch your back, watch your back. Watch your back, watch your back. We can counter their attack hit 'em 'til the armour cracks.'
Throwing Harry a sword, he caught it effortlessly before the pair of them stood back to back, staring down the enemy. Just like old times. Ignoring the warmth of his body against hers, and the familiar muscles of his back, Maddy brandished her sword and took the first swing. Staring at the daughter of Maleficent as she smashed the knight atop his head, he swore he fell in love with her even more.
'This could get a little sticky, How to win this battle could be tricky but I know the best way. Fall back let me lead, you hold the line. And we'll bring them to their knees. Swords in the air if you're with me, They got us outnumbered one to fifty. But victory is ours 'cause I got a strategy, you take the left, And the rest of you can follow me.
(Un-uh) This is my crew This is my squad This is my turf. Oh my gosh, look guys. We've got bigger fishto fry. Put your differences aside, 'Cause right now we're on the same side.
Until the night falls, everyone. We'll stay together 'til the battle is done. Watch your back, watch your back. Watch your back, watch your back. We can counter their attack hit 'em 'til the armour cracks. Until the night falls, we're aligned, It doesn't mean that we're on the same side.
Watch your back, watch your back. Watch your back, watch your back. Hit 'em hard and hit 'em fast they're too heavy to react.'
As the battle raged around them, Maddy took a quick glance around the room to see how everyone was faring. Mal and Uma were fighting side by side, Jay was watching Harry's back, and Evie was helping Carlos with a trio of knights. Noticing Gil was outnumbered, she rushed to his aid, kicking back the first one before clashing swords with the second.
"Thanks, Mads."
"I got your back, Gil."
Getting lost in the happiness she felt, Maddy didn't notice the knight coming for her until he slashed her arm and threw her to the side. Yelping in pain, she let Harry pull her to her feet (who was by her side with ridiculous speed) and watched as Gil took down the knight.
Having defeated his own knights, Harry had been watching as Maddy defended Gil, admitting that she had vastly improved since leaving the Isle. She had learnt skills at Auradon that put her previous skill to shame. Auradon had been good for her. And that killed him. Not because she was happier or better but, because she could've gone to Auradon sooner if he hadn't held her back.
'Until the night falls everyone We'll stay together 'til the battle is done Back to back, back to back Back to back, back to back We can counter their attack hit 'em 'til the armour cracks Until the night falls, we're aligned It doesn't mean that we're on the same side Back to back, back to back Back to back, back to back Hit 'em hard and hit 'em fast they're too heavy to react
'Suit of armour strong and true Make this metal bust a move!'
Finally working together, the eight VKs managed to bring the suits of armour down. Relishing in their victory, they went to high five each other until remembering who they were, and their feud. Groaning, Maddy bumped her hip against Uma's before Gil swung an arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his side. Checking her arm, he pulled out a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the cut to stem the bleeding before thanking her for saving him once again. He was glad to have her back. Gil had missed his best friend.
Every time she had visited the Isle, he had wanted to go out and see her, hug her, and convince her to come back. However, Harry always ordered him to remain hidden and out of sight. Due to Harry being acting Captain, Gil had to listen to him, even if it broke his heart to watch Maddy leave. After fighting in battle together again, Uma and Maddy had silently mended the rift between the two. Sort of.
"You know, we could've taken them down a lot quicker if you'd used some of that hellfire of yours." Uma pointed out.
"Well, it's kind of a learning curve. I'm not really at the 'burn hunks of metal' stage." Maddy said, tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Guys, come on." Evie groaned. "This was so great. We were a team. We worked together. Come on."
Mal and Uma turned away from each other even more.
"You know what we should try? An icebreaker. You say something you really like about the other person, okay? I'll start." Evie said cheerfully.
Turning to look at the pirate trio, Evie analysed each of them. Pretending to be examining the ceiling, Harry hoped the perky girl would choose anyone but ut him. Alas, he was not that lucky.
"Harry."
Maddy snorted at the look on his face causing him to playfully narrow his eyes at her.
"Great accent."
Trying to contain her laughter behind her fist, Maddy let Mal and Uma decide the next course of action. Deciding that the boys would go and find Ben, and the girls would find Audrey, they said a quick goodbye to each other before parting ways, agreeing to meet at Evie's in two hours.
"Evie's right. Your accent is just so attractive." Maddy whispered to Harry before sauntering out the room, chuckling at the bewildered look on his face.
