CHAPTER 16
They arrive on the Isle, where the new VK's and their families are waiting.
"I have so much to show you," Evie tells Dizzy excitedly.
"You're going to love Auradon," Mandy states as she smiles at Felicia.
"All right, boys," Carlos says as he and Jay walk up to Squirmy and Squeaky.
"Let's hit the road," Jay says excitedly.
"You're gonna see him soon, okay? Come on," Carlos tells the boys before they walk away from Smee.
"Do you have everything?" Lady Tremaine asks Dizzy as they stop at the trunk.
"Yes, I have everything," Dizzy answers her as she puts her bag in the trunk.
"Are you sure?" Lady Tremaine asks again.
"I'm sure, Granny," Dizzy answers.
"Oh, really?" Lady Tremaine says as she pulls out a glue gun.
"My glue gun," Dizzy says excitedly as she grabs it causing Mandy to smile.
"I don't know what you're going to do without me," Lady Tremaine says.
"I'll miss you," Dizzy tells her before looking at Evie, who nods. Dizzy then gives Lady Tremaine a hug. "Goodbye, Granny." Mandy smiles at the scene before Dizzy and Evie get into the car.
"Here, let me help get this off of you," Mal says as she, Mandy, and Ben lead Celia and Felicia to the trunk. Celia and Felicia both quickly take off their bags and sling them into the trunk.
"Oh. Okay," Mandy says as she and Mal share a shocked look.
"Let's go and do this," Ben starts saying before the twins walk off. Ben and Mal look at each other shocked as Mandy follows the girls, while glancing around for any sign of Harry. Ben and Mal get into the limo before they start heading back to Auradon.
"So, as soon as we get to Auradon, you have to try ice cream," Evie tells Dizzy causing Mandy to smile at them.
"And go swimming?" Dizzy asks excitedly.
"Mandy and I can take you to the Enchanted Lake," Evie answers her before they share a squeal of excitement.
"I can't believe I get to live with you in your very own castle," Dizzy says.
"It's just a little starter castle," Evie tells Dizzy.
"It's still amazing though," Mandy says causing Evie to smile at her.
"Great grip. You play sports?" Jay asks Squirmy, who is holding onto his arm.
"Here. Go on," Carlos says as he hands a Reese's cup to Squeaky. "Trust me on this." Squeaky takes a bite before looking at Carlos in amazement. "I know. Dig in, dig in." Celia fans out her cards as she holds them out to Ben, who picks a card before handing it to her.
"You're going to be a wise and brave King," Celia says before flipping the card over to reveal a king.
"He already is," Mal tells her with a smile.
"See? The cards never lie," Celia says before holding her hand out for payment. Ben hands her some money before she and Felicia look at each other excitedly. The barrier is then opened so they can go out. They get through the barrier before it starts to close.
"It's Hades," Evie calls as she looks back at the Isle. Mandy quickly turns to see Hades with a hand out of the barrier with his ember in it.
"Stop the car. He's trying to escape," Mal calls before Jay stops the limo. Hades is able to open the barrier enough to get his upper body out.
"I am a god. I don't belong here," Hades calls out as Ben, Jay, Carlos, Mandy, Mal, and Evie get out of the limo. Jay, Ben, and Carlos all run forward to get Hades back behind the barrier but Hades shocks each of them with his ember, sending them to the ground. Mal's eyes turn green as she is covered in purple smoke before emerging as a dragon. Hades looks at her in shock before zapping her with his ember. Mal screeches as she starts to feel her powers being drained away. Mandy's eyes turn purple as she sees her sister in danger, before she is covered in green smoke and emerging as a dragon. Hades looks at her in shock as well causing himself to loosen his power hold on Mal.
"Come on, Mandy, blast him," Jay calls out. With a roar, Mandy blows air at Hades, sending him tumbling back behind the barrier. Jay helps Ben up while Evie helps Carlos. Mandy is covered in green smoke before landing on the trunk of the limo. She quickly hops off as Mal is covered in purple smoke before landing where Mandy had been. Mandy and Ben help her down as she gasps and holds her stomach in pain.
"Are you okay?" Mandy asks her sister.
"No. He was draining all of my magic with the ember, and I felt all of my powers slipping away," Mal answers her.
"You're safe. He's back where he belongs," Evie tells her as they watch Hades walk away.
"Yeah, for now," Mal says as she leans against Ben, who holds her close.
"We should go," Jay says as he walks over.
"Okay," Mal says in agreement before they all get back in the limo.
