Chapter 27 - Chaos
All eyes fell on Penny and she gripped onto Carlos and Mal's hand. Ben looked at his best friend and he sighed. "Penelope, please." "No." Ben then turned to Fairy Godmother and ordered her to take down the barrier, but she denied him once again. "I am your King!" "Obey him!" Uma yelled. "A request cannot be fulfilled unless I agree!" Penny yelled as she walked down the steps and faced Uma. "And guess what? I don't agree." The two glared at one another, but Penny was struggling for control. Uma noticed and she smirked. Mal looked from Penny and then to the stained glass window that Ben made for her. She looked at it then back to Penny and she knew what to do.
Mal rushed down the stairs and she pulled Penny behind her as she looked up at Ben. "Ben. . . Ben, look at me." "No, look at me!" Uma ordered. "You love me, remember?" The rest climbed down the stairs and Carlos pulled Penny to him, trying to calm her down.
"No, you don't."
"Yes you do!"
"Ben, look at me."
Uma turned to Fairy Godmother. "Bring down the barrier down, now!" Penny used her magic and she stood protectively in front of Fairy Godmother. "She doesn't take orders from you," Penny sneered and Uma glared at her before turning back to Ben. "Ben. . ."
"Ben," Mal spoke softly and Ben turned to Mal.
"I never told you that I loved you because I was scared. I thought that you were trying to turn me into someone I'm not. And I was terrified that once you saw who I truly am, you would leave me." Mal then motioned to the gift and Ben followed her eyes. "But Ben, that's me." Uma rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Please."
Mal ignored her and continued. "From the very beginning, you saw the real me and knew who I was. I'm part Isle and part Auradon. From the moment you made your first proclamation, you and Penny have supported us because you both knew who we were and who we could be. And you have never wanted me to be anything but myself."
Uma tried to get to Ben, but couldn't.
"Ben, you've taught me what love feels like. And because of you, I can finally admit to myself what I've been refusing this whole time. I love you, Benjamin Florian. I have always loved you." And to further prove her point, Mal leaned up and pressed her lips against Ben's lips.
Penny gripped onto Carlos and Evie's hands as they all watched. Ben smiled and slightly pulled away.
"Mal. . ."
Mal laughed happily.
"True love's kiss," Penny started.
"Works every time," Evie finished.
Uma, now angered, ran over to Fairy Godmother. "Give it to me!" Uma held her hand out for the wand, but Peter Pan stood in front of Fairy Godmother. "I don't think so, love. Guards!" Uma ran to the side of the ship and everyone surrounded her.
The VKs, Ben, and Penny rushed over. "Uma, you don't have to do this," Penny told the sea witch. Everyone noticed, though, that her necklace began to glow. "Uma, no!" But Uma jumped overboard. Everyone rushed forward, only to see a light shining under the water. The water began to spin as if there was a tornado in the sea, and Uma had reappeared in her true form, just like her mother. Everyone backed up and many either gasped or scream. "Come on, Mal! Let's finish this once and for all!" Uma yelled. Mal backed away from her friends and she began to breathe much more heavily as her eyes glowed electric green.
Purple smoke surrounded Mal before a full dragon flew up. Everyone looked up at Mal, well, the dragon, and Penny had a proud smile. "She did it." Uma shot a tentacle at the ship, causing the boat to rock on the water and for water to splash everyone. Everyone yelled and they all held onto something for dear life.
Penny couldn't take in anymore and she walked awyay from everyone.
"Penny?" Carlos called out.
She felt her eyes go black, seeing red again. Green smoke surrounded her and she was in a different outfit. She shot up into the air and glared at Uma. Looking back at the ship, she looked for her boys.
"Boys!" Penny called out.
The Lost Boys, Peter, and Felix stepped forward and looked at one another. They loved it here in Auradon, but if they have to fight Uma? So be it. Penny waved her hand and they all had either a weapon, a shield, or both. Everyone looked up at Penny, waiting for her command.
"Protect everyone on this boat!"
The lost boys, Peter, and Felix smiled up at her and they did as told. Penny flew over to Mal and the two were in the air, next to each other, as they faced Uma. Uma grew angry and shor another tenacle toward the boat, but Penny waved her hand, and it had hit a force of magic. Uma growled, but Mal blew fire at her.
Penny created a fireball in her hand and began to help Mal. Peter shot up into the air and he looked over at his daughter and Mal before forming a fireball and threw it at Uma. The three worked together and they now had Uma surrounded in a ring of fire. Uma went under the water and splashed her tentacles, making the fire go away.
A tentacle came toward Penny, but Peter used magic and pushed his daughter out of the way. Penny regained her balance and now steadily floated in between her father and her best friend. A tentacle made its way to the boat and Penny's eyes widened.
"Dad!"
Peter flew down and blocked the tentacle by creating a dome that surrounded everyone. The lost boys that had bowd and arrows aimed their arrows at Uma's tentacles and they fired. They had hit Uma, but it felt like a pinch for her.
Ben wanted to stop it, but didn't know how.
So he jumped overboard.
"Ben!"
"Idiot!" Penny muttered.
Ben resurfaced and he gasped for air then turned to Uma.
"Uma! This needs to stop!" Ben yelled and Penny flew down so she was close enough to protect the King.
Uma laughed at this. "What are you going to do, Ben? Splash me?"
"Uma, you don't need to fight against the entire world to be remembered and heard. But I know that you're doing this because you care about the Isle. You care about your crew. You want what's best for the island and for the poeple there." Ben took in a shakey breath and he held a hand out while the other one kept him up. "Help me make a difference," Ben practically pleaded. Uma looked as if she was actually considering his words, but as soon as she looked at the people on the ship, she knew what she had to do. She couldn't stay in Auradon.
No one would accept her. Sure, maybe the VKs, lost boys, and a few kids from Auradon, but they will never truly trust her. And yet, Ben is offering her a second chance. She slowly raised a tentacle and she dropped Ben's ring into his outstretched hand before giving a sad smile to everyone and disappeared under the water.
Mal roared as she flew back the the boat and purple smoke surrounded her. Penny sprinkled some pixie dust on Ben and the two flew up and landed on the ship. Penny then landed next to Mal and smoke surrounded them.
Penny helped Mal take out any patches of fire and the two girls laughed and smiled at one another. They then hooked their arms together and walked down the stairs. Evie met them at the bottom and she pulled her two best friends into a hug.
TWO MORE DAYS, GUYS!!! 😆
