Mal had gotten the ember and the VKs were walking back to the barrier. Jay pressed the remote to let it down. As they walked through, Mal used the ember to make sure the old hag curse was truly gone. As she did, her purple hair now had blue streaks.
"Whoa M, you got a little Hades going on."
"Yeah, this thing packs a punch, huh?"
The VKs didn't notice Harry and Gil jumping through the small hole before the barrier fully closed up, until it was too late.
"We made it." Gil and Harry hugged each other.
"Hey, guys," Harry said turning to the group. "We just came for... a wee visit."
Jay and Carlos pushed them back when they tried to walk past. This made Harry and Gil shove back, resulting in Carlos hitting Mal and knocking the ember out of her hand. Mal scrambled to grab it but it fell off the bridge. They all watched as the ember fell, only to be caught by a tentacle that shot out of the water.
"Uma?!" Gil and Harry questioned as they watched the young sea witch emerge.
"Drop something?"
"Uma, I can't get that wet! Give it back before it goes out!"
Uma smiled mischievously. She clutched the ember tight before disappearing under the water. A jet stream of water shot up into the sky as Uma landed on the bridge, in human form.
"Welcome back!" Harry greeted Uma.
"Uma. You swam off and forgot all about us." Gil sounded dejected.
"Yeah. Planning revenge, no doubt," Mal said, watching the pirates interact.
"It's not all about you, Mal. I was looking for a hole in the barrier to let everybody out. And you know what I found, boys? It's way better out there than we thought. There's this thing that looks like a furry rock called a coconut. And fish so big you could dance on their backs. And they've been keeping it all for themselves."
"Whatever. Uma, I need that back to break a curse." Mal held out her hand for the ember.
"Cast by Audrey, Sleeping Beauty's daughter," Carlos chimed in.
"Hmm. So the good guy's the bad guy? Well in that case, I might not give it back. See what happens."
"Uma. It's not the time for games! People's lives are in danger!"
Uma walked towards the edge of the bridge. "Guarantee me that every single villain kid who wants off this Isle, gets to leave."
"I can't do that."
Uma rolled her eyes. "Can't do that... how about now?"
Uma was dangling the ember over the water.
"Wait, Deal! Deal."
"Her word is good," Evie stood up for Mal.
Uma walked away from the edge. She tucked the ember into the pocket of her leather vest.
"I'll still keep this for the time being though. Because if you think I trust you to save the world on your own, think again. This is a job for pirates!"
Jay grabbed a pissed off Mal's shoulder. "We can always go back to hating each other when this is over."
"Fine."
"Where are the bikes?" Jay asked the pirates.
"Oh yeah... we crashed them," Gil said.
