Twenty Six | Battle Plan
"We can't just give Uma the wand," said Evie. "We can't just let her destroy Auradon." Mal and Ava had quickly made their way back to the hideout, and they've informed the group of what happened. Ava had filled Harley in on the situation, but Harley had no clue on how to solve it. It's either Ben dies, or Auradon dies. Neither sounds better than the other. Mal and Ava were both pacing, and it seemed that the three were arguing. "Uma doesn't get the wand, then Ben is toast, guys," said Carlos. "Right. So we're going to give Uma, of all people, the wand," Evie shot back. "Do we have another choice?" Jay asked. "Guys!" Everyone stopped arguing and turned to Ava. "We have to come up with something, because Uma cannot get that wand, but we can't lose Ben, either. Trust me, neither is better than the other. So, any ideas?"
"Wait," said Mal as she stopped pacing and turned to Ava before turning to the boys. "Your 3D printer!"
"A phony wand," said Carlos. "In my sleep."
"Yes!"
"And the second Uma tests it, she'll know it's a fake," said Evie, pointing out the flaw in the plan.
"Well, we'll just get Ben out really fast," said Ava. "But we'll need some kind of diversion."
"Smoke bombs!" Jay yelled and Ava smiled before high fiving him. "Yes, Jay!"
"That's perfect! I'll get the chemicals I need from Lady Tremaine's place. That could work." Evie walked over to Mal, and stopped. "Oh, and sick hair by the way. Evil stepmom seriously stepped up her game," Evie complimented Mal's new hair. Ava wanted to compliment it too, but she figured that it wasn't the best time.
"Okay, you want to know something? Dizzy did this."
"Little Dizzy? Shut up."
"I know, I'm like loving it. It's really light." "I'm really proud of her," said Evie. Carlos wrapped his arm around Ava's waist as the boys and Ava watched the two girls talk about Mal's hair in disbelief. Jay cleared his throat and the girls turned to him.
"Hello?"
Mal clapped her hands. "Right. Carlos, Ava, Jay, meet us at pirate's bay, no later than noon. And you guys, losing? Not an option. 'Cause we're rotten."
"To the core."
"Let's do this."
All five of them walked out of the hideout, and the girls embraced each other. "Be careful," said Ava. Mal nodded her head, and she tapped her ear.
"I still have it on, so I'll let you know if something happens. Let us know if something happens to you guys." Ava nodded and Carlos grabbed hold of her hand. The three then separated from Mal and Evie, and they ran over to the limousine. By now, Ava no longer had her suit on. They quickly uncovered the tarp, and Carlos and Ava got in the back while Jay got in the driver's seat.
"Incoming call from Peter."
"Answer."
"Ava, how's the mission going? You bringing Mal back to Auradon?"
Ava sighed at the question her twin brother asked. "The mission changed. I do think that Mal is coming back, but we have a new problem at hand. Ben has been captured by pirates, and in order to get Ben back, we have to give Uma the wand. We're giving her a fake one, though, but I still think this will end in a fight."
"Do you want me to go? I'll skip the trip and go to Auradon right now," said Peter.
"No! You will go on that trip, and you will spend time with MJ. Peter, I know how much you like her. And don't worry about me, bro. I can take care of myself." Ava heard Pete sigh before he spoke again.
"Okay. But I swear, Ava, if anything happens to you - "
"I'll be fine, Peter. I have Mal and the others by my side."
"Okay. Good luck, Ava. I love you."
"I love you too."
Ava hung up and she smiled to herself. Jay looked back at Ava using the mirror and he smiled. "He's very protective of you, isn't he?"
"Yeah. Especially with everything that's happened to us. I mean, we've nearly died, we've been snapped out of existence, and we nearly died again. . . We may be superheroes and Avengers, but we can still get hurt."
Ava frowned and Carlos placed his hand on her thigh. "I won't let anything happen to you. None of us will. That, and I think Harley and Peter would kill us." The three laughed and Carlos turned back to Ava. "If they want to get to you, they'll have to get through us, first." Ava smiled up at Carlos and she leaned up and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Hate to break this beautiful moment, but we're here." Ava snickered at what Jay said, and the three got out of the car, and they ran over to the boy's dorm room. They were looking around when they noticed Dude. Dude walked over to them, whining.
"Hi," said Carlos as he picked the dog up. "I'm sorry I'm so late, Dude. Ben got captured." Carlos made to walk forward, but Jay stopped him.
"Don't. Why is our door open?"
Ava tensed up, and she was ready to fight someone. The three ran in front of the door, and Ava pinched the bridge of her nose.
"You've got to be kidding me."
Chad had jumped from his spot and turned off the 3D printer before turning around. "I knocked."
Carlos placed Dude in Ava's arms before holding his hand out to Chad. Chad sighed before digging into his pocket and placed the key in Carlos' hand.
"What is that?" Jay asked, and the four turned to the 3D printer. Chad chuckled and took the thing out. Ava noticed that it seemed to be a doll, but it's head wasn't there. "That's a little Chad action figure. Zoom! Well, minus the head."
"Sounds like an improvement. Excuse me." Carlos moved passed Chad and over to the 3D printer. Chad then approached Ava, but Jay quickly stood in front of the girl. "Don't even think about it." Jay then shoved Chad to the side, and Ava smiled at Jay before sitting down nex to Carlos. Dude was still in her arms, and Ava smiled down at the dog. Jay stood next to Carlos, and Chad looked over Jay's shoulder. "Why are you guys making Fairy Godmother's wand?" The blond prince asked. "Oh." "Uh, why are we making Fairy Godmother's wand?" Carlos asked Jay. "Because, uh. . ." Jay trailed off, not knowing what to think. "Ben's been captured!" Dude yelled, and everyone turned to the dog.
"What? Dude can talk?"
"I was stalling."
"I thought you forgot."
Ava placed Dude down and Jay hit Chad's arm. "Don't tell anyone! Ben's life depends on it."
"Really? So if something were to happen, you know, what I'm saying."
"Something bad, we get it."
"God forbid," continued Chad. "But if something were to happen, who do you think would be in line to be King?" Ava rolled her eyes and stood in front of Chad.
"Listen here, genius. I'm Ben's second in command. So the title would fall on me. And historically, a Queen is much more important than the King. Who do you protect in the game of chess? The Queen. So, if something were to happen to Ben, I would become Queen. I would love to have you as King. Can't. Love to, but can't. If you say a word on this whole situation, I will hunt you down, cut off your tongue, and lock you up where no one would find you. Now scram!"
Chad nodded in fear before running out of the room. Ava shut the door behind him, locked it, and turned back to the boys.
The boys looked at each other before looking at her. "Remind me to never get on your bad side," said Jay. Ava chuckled and she kissed Carlos' cheek. They soon had the wand ready, and they were making their way back to the limo. They had run into Doug, but Ava told the boy that Evie was at her house, making something, and she didn't want to be disturbed for the rest of the night.
They made it to the limousine when they heard a voice.
"I'm coming with you guys."
"What?" Jay asked Lonnie. "We don't need swords at the Waffle Hut."
"You're going to the Isle to rescue Ben. It's either you take me, or I'm going to have to tell Fairy Godmother."
Ava walked forward and she stared at Lonnie.
"Well played. All right, then, let's go."
