Chapter Seven
*Back in the Isle*
While Jay and Evie ran after Harry and Gil; Carlos, Mal and Celia went to get the key.
Walking by a T.V. Carlos put a coin in the slot.
It slowly turned on to reveal a news report.
"Alerts of a sleeping spell keep coming as it spreads though out Auradon" the news reporter said.
"Uh, Mal you better come see this" Carlos said.
"There are rumors that Sleeping beauty's daughter Audrey, is behind the spell. We're trying to discover who is responsible for these vicious lies and which villain was perpetrated this evil-- we have an update-- what? It's moving this way? It's moving this way!" The man freaked out as the t.v slowly faded to a black screen.
"Alright, let's go get that ember" Mal said looking at Celia with the key.
"Bye dad!" Celia waved as they exited the arcade.
"Imma go help Jay and Evie" Carlos said, "we'll meet you back at the barrier?"
Mal nodded as Carlos ran off.
"It's good timing too!" Celia said checking her watch, "it's his nap time"
Mal followed Celia through the allys until they arrived at a tunnel entrance with a gate with a weird face design.
On top were the words, "Get lost"
Celia inserted the key to open the gate.
"Hey" Mal said, "how big is that dog?"
"Oh, you'll see" Celia said, "and try to be quiet, it echos like crazy in here"
Mal nodded as they walked inside.
She followed Celia to a bike looking thing.
They put on helmets with flashlights to light their way and petaled through the dark tunnels.
Celia pressed her finger to her lips as they got off the bike.
They slowly and quietly walked to the blue light.
Mal saw the cave, for the first time, and it was empty.
She gave Celia a confused look, Celia shrugged looking just as confused as her.
Mal scanned the cave one more time.
No Hades.
"Where is he?" She asked Celia, as she walked down the steps to the main floor.
"I-I dunno" she said, "like I said, usually he's taking a nap at this time. He never leaves the cave"
"And the ember?" Mal asked.
"It's usually there" Celia pointed to the little coffee table, "but if he's gone then he probably took it with him"
Mal let out a frustrated sigh, "let's go find the others"
*********
Carlos ran to find Evie tied up and an unconscious Jay on the ground.
"E!" He exclaimed as he started to undo the rope, "what happened?"
He took the tag from her mouth, "it was Hades!" She said, "and the same girl from last week"
"The Chernabog's daughter, Y/n?" Carlos said remembering the information.
"Yeah, she took the control, Carlos! There going to escape!" She said getting to her feet.
"Jay come on buddy, this is no time for a nap!" Carlos tried shaking Jay awake.
"Y/n knocked him out" Evie said looking around and saw a mug of water, "here try this"
Carlos splashed the water on Jay's face.
Jay bolted awake, "woah! What was that for?"
"Sorry about, but we have no time come on!" Carlos said pulling him up to his feet.
"What happened?" Jay asked rubbing the back of his head, "my head hurts real bad"
"Y/n knocked you out" Evie said.
"Yeah and she took the control" Carlos said.
"The control? My control? To open the barrier?" Jay felt around his pockets.
"Yeah, her and Hades now come on" Evie said and they ran to the barrier.
At the barrier they met with Mal and Celia.
There you guys are!" Mal said looking extremely frustrated and worried, "Hades wasn't in his cave, so we don't have the ember"
"And we don't know where he is" Celia piped up.
"That's ok, we know where he is" Evie said.
"But your not going to like it" Carlos added.
"They knocked us down-" Evie said.
"They?" Mal asked.
"Yeah Y/n was with him" Jay said, "she took my control"
"So what, are we stuck inside?" Celia asked.
"Where are they now?" Mal asked.
"We know where they are" they heard a voice say.
"And we have something you need" another voice said with a heavy accent.
They turned to see Gil and Harry.
Harry held up the control with a wicked smile.
"Harry give it here" Mal reached for the control but Harry pulled it away and replacing it with his hook.
"Ah, ah, ah" he mocked.
"Harry we don't have time for this!" Mal said, "just give us the control!"
"Mm, I don't think so, you see, your taking us with you" Harry said.
"No, you two aren't going anywhere" Evie said.
"Oh, then I guess you aren't getting your precious control" Harry said turning to leave.
"Wait-"
"Yes?" He turned cocking one eyebrow up.
"Where did Hades and Y/n go?" Jay asked.
Harry signaled for Gil to tell them.
"They left the isle" Gil said, "we tried escaping with them, but the lady elbowed me really hard" he touched his nose, then said, "but I grabbed the control before she left."
Gil smiled proud of his story.
"You mean we have both Audrey AND Hades AND Y/n running loose in Auradon?" Carlos said running a hand through his hair.
"Where are our bikes?" Jay asked.
"Oh yeah," Gil said, Harry snickered, "we crashed them"
Harry, well Harry did this⬇️
Gil and Harry laughed.
"Ugh, whatever, let's just go" Mal said, she held out her hand.
"No, I have the control, so I open the barrier" Harry said looking at the control, clearly a little confused on which button to press.
"It's the top one" Jay said.
"I knew that!" Harry snapped back, making the barrier open.
"Press the bottom one to close it" Jay said as they all crossed the barrier.
"Stop telling me what to do!" Harry snarled closing the barrier behind them.
"You tell him Harry!" a female voice came from the waters.
Everyone looked over the bridge to see Uma in the waters and she looked more like her mom with the green-blue tentacles.
Harry and Gil looked at each other, "Uma!" they exclaimed!
"That's my name!" She said waving.
Then a bubble of water circled around her next thing you know, it bursts splashing water everywhere.
"Hi boyz!" She said from behind them.
They turned to see her standing on two legs.
Harry's smile widened, now that he had his best friend back, "welcome back" he walked over to stand next to her.
"Uma" Gil said a little sad, "you swarm off and forgot all about us"
"Yeah planning her revenge, no doubt" Mal said before Uma could answer.
"It's not all about you Mal!" she said, "besides if I were you, I'd start being a little nicer to me, if you want information"
"Information about what?" Mal asked.
"You know, Hades and the girl, who escaped from the isle earlier" she said.
"That was Y/n!" Jay exclaimed, "what do you know?"
"Oh, you know just their whole plan to take over Auradon, details and everything" Uma said shrugging, "but if you want to know their secrets, we" she circled her finger indicating Harry, Gil and herself, "get to tag along, after all this is a job for pirates!"
She laughed, joined by Gil and Harry as she knew there was no way Mal was saying no.
"Mal, we can know everything Y/n and Hades are planning, we can be one step ahead of them" Jay whispered to her, "we can always go back to hating each other after"
"Fine" Mal said.
The pirates celebrated, while M, J and C looked annoyed.
"Here's an thought, we could try to be friends?" Evie said, and everyone's focus was on her, "put our history behind us and celebrate our differences, yeah?" she took out a little pouch from her sleeve, "who wants gum?"
"Let's go!" Uma said loudly.
"Ah, no, I'm in charge" Mal said, "let's go"
