This is basically a more realistic version of descendants, where the isle isn't just being an asshole. Also, there won't be much romantic shit in this story because that isn't what I want this to be about.

Now, on with the story.

Twenty years ago, King Beast captured all of the villains and imprisoned them on an island that later became known as the 'Isle of the Lost'. This island was home to vicious, ruthless villains, as well as petty thieves. King Beast didn't care about their crimes, to him they were only villains and they disrupted the peace in his precious kingdom of Auradon. Unfortunately, he didn't consider the fact that villains would have children. What did he expect, for them to just wallow in shame for the rest of their miserable lives?

It only took a few years for most of the major villains to have children, and they were not at all suited for parenthood; especially on the Isle where resources are severely limited.

But the villain children learned the ways of the Isle, and it became second nature to them all. Maleficent ruled the Isle, although all that entailed was her and her daughter getting a great amount of food and supplies; also everyone's fear but that was a small detail.

Mal loved living on the Isle, her mother had so much influence that Mal was basically royalty. The only person willing to defy her was her mother, but Maleficent wouldn't dare lay a hand on Mal. Mal was to be strong, physically and mentally. Maleficent only had to fix Mal's mind, so she gladly would scold her daughter when it had to be done.

When a letter was on Maleficent's doorstep, she knew things were about to change. Letters don't come often, and this one had an Auradon stamp.

"Auradon!" Mal's yell echoed throughout the castle, causing Maleficent to frown. "I am not going to a school full of prissy princesses and spoiled royalty!"

Mal knew there was an ulterior motive, but she didn't know it quite yet.

"I will explain the plan as soon as I collect your new allies. You weren't the only one invited, the letter states three others were chosen as well." Maleficent explained, giving her daughter a cold glare.

Mal stepped back, and sighed. "Go find them then."

Maleficent hated Jafar's shop, which also served as his home. She never visited, no matter how helpful he had been in the past when she needed a certain sea witch's necklace for blackmail purposes. She knocked on the door, and angrily waited as the man opened the door.

"What do you want!" Jafar widened his eyes at the sight of the evil Fae, "Why Maleficent, what can I do for you today?"

"Did you receive a letter from Auradon this morning?"

Jafar held a calculating look in his eyes, but then closed his eyes and grabbed the letter from his pocket. "I have. But I have zero intention of agreeing."

"Well Jafar, get your boy out here. I have a plan that'd benefit us."

Maleficent's next stop was the Evil Queen's home, which Maleficent wasn't looking forward to. She had banished Grimhilde a decade ago, and the woman had never went against it. There would obviously be tension among the two, but Grimhilde would quickly forget about it if the banishment was released.

It took only a moment after knocking for the door to open, and Grimhilde stood there shocked. "Why Maleficent, what do I owe the honor?"

"Did you receive a letter as well?"

She nodded, and motioned Maleficent to enter the castle. The blue haired teen gazed curiously at Maleficent, but quickly looked away upon meeting eyes.

Grimhilde picked up the letter from the counter, "It's a dream come true for Evie, but I just don't know if I should let her."

"Well, How about you join me at my castle for dinner, we can discuss some details over it."

Grimhilde quickly nodded, "We would love to, we wouldn't miss it!"

Maleficent turned around to leave, but looked back for one final second, "And I suppose your banishment is lifted."

"Why that is great news!"

Hell Hall was her last stop, and the one she had been dreading. Cruella de Vil was not particularly easy to talk to, any sense of normal had left her years ago. Cruella now was a psychotic woman, and it was rumored that her son was quite similar.

Maleficent went to knock on the door, but heard loud thuds. She shook whatever thought was in her head and knocked.

"GET THE DOOR." She heard Cruella yell, it was followed by an object being thrown.

It took only a moment for the door to open, and the boy himself stood there.

"I wish to speak with your mother." Maleficent demanded, deciding to ignore the condition of the boy.

He nodded and turned around, but Cruella was already walking over to them.

"Maleficent? Is there anything you need?"

Maleficent grinned, taking out the letter, "You received one of these, haven't you?"

Cruella stared at the letter for a minute, and then grinned maliciously, "Ah yes, that. Carlos and I were just discussing that."

"I heard." Maleficent impatiently replied. She needed to get back to her castle so she could plot.

"Yes, I was just about to burn it."

"You won't be doing that." Maleficent ordered, "You will come to my castle for dinner so we may discuss a plan revolving that."

Cruella frowned, but nodded anyways. "I just don't know what I'd do without my Carlos!" She grabbed the boys hair and dragged him in front of her, "Hell Hall would be such a mess!"

Maleficent glared at Cruella, "You will not disobey me. I expect to see you."

Cruella quickly nodded with a smirk, "I won't disappoint."

"Good."

Mal didn't have any friends, no one did on the Isle. Even so, she didn't have a gang or any allies. It was what her mother decided, she was the daughter of the worst villain in the land, and having any help in her evil deeds would state that she was weak on her own.

But now, her mother suddenly wanted her to work together with three random villain kids her age. There had to have been a good reason, but Mal just couldn't figure it out other than the fact that they were invited to Auradon as well. Maybe it was to make sure they don't snitch, but they wouldn't dare do that unless they wished to die a painful death.

"You four will have a mission in Auradon. Get Fairy Godmother's wand and release the barrier so I can rule Auradon!" Maleficent explained.

"What's in it for me?" Mal asked.

"You'd be next in line to rule, and you'd get anything you wanted." Maleficent explained.

"And what do we get?" Jay asked, gesturing to him, Carlos, and Evie.

"Large castles and many servants. I don't care." Maleficent rolled her eyes and returned her attention to Mal.

"I expect the task to be done swiftly, I don't like to be kept waiting." Maleficent hissed.

Mal knew it would be an easy task, so when the limo arrived she wasn't worried. She'd complete the mission before she even had to go to that dumb school. But still, she had to imagine why Auradon even wanted to try and have villains in their school? A public statement maybe, or maybe they would torture and kill the group to show villains and their people that they weren't messing around.

Mal was pulled from her thoughts by the ruckus outside the Limo.

"GET BACK HERE CARLOS, YOU AREN'T GOING!" Cruella de Vil was known to be psychotic, and her son wasn't any different. The boy jumped into the limo and smirked at his mother. "INGRATE."

"De Vil." Mal spoke, glaring at the boy.

He glared back, but didn't speak. He hadn't spoken since a certain incident involving a Doberman pinscher.

"Didn't you know that there are dogs in Auradon?" Mal teased, satisfied when she saw that he subconsciously held his hand to the nasty scar on his neck.

Jay and Evie just stared at them, silent. They were waiting for all hell to break loose, but it wouldn't happen. Not that Mal and Carlos didn't want to fight, but doing so in front of Maleficent was basically suicide.

"So, Fairy Godmother's wand. Here's my plan, Evie can find wherever they hid it, Jay can take care of any guards, Carlos can do whatever techy stuff needs to be done, and I'll get the wand and cast the spell."

"So basically, we do the hard part while you take all the credit?" Jay crossed his arms and glared at Mal. Jay was strong, and Mal didn't want him against her on this mission, but she wasn't going to change her plan just to please him.

"Exactly."

"None of us even tolerate each other, it'll be years before I'd team up with any of you." Jay hissed, looked at each teen.

"The feeling is mutual." Evie groaned, applying blush to her cheeks. The girl never seemed to stop looking at herself and painting her face with all that makeup.

A shushing noise came from Carlos, catching their attention. He rolled his eyes and pointed to a man in the driver's seat.

"Shit." Mal muttered. Had he heard them?

Jay analyzed the man before sighing, "He has earbuds in and I can hear the music, he can't hear us."

Ben was nervous, he normally was but he never usually felt like vomiting because of it. He was supposed to become king soon, and yet he still wasn't sure if he could make a smart decision. His proclamation had been a gamble, something he wanted but not sure how it'd end up.

He really didn't know what to expect, and that scared him. These villain kids were teenagers, three of them were sixteen and one was fourteen. They had their whole lives to become who they were, and they were surrounded by evil. Ben doubted any of them would be perfect angels.

"If you keep pacing like that you're going to start sweating, just relax. This was your idea so you should be prepared to face it." Audrey tried comforting him, she grabbed his arm and held onto it, Ben knew it would be a while before she let go.

If Ben were being honest, he didn't like Audrey. Sure, he had asked her out, but that was when she seemed like a great person. Now the girl never seemed to leave him alone, and that was an added pressure on him. He couldn't just break up with her, he'd just be criticized for it; but Ben wasn't happy with her. How could he be?

"Well, looks like they're here!" Fairy Godmother exclaimed, pulling Ben from his thoughts. "Alright, the band may now begin!"

The band began playing its music, and Ben couldn't help but think everything was over the top. All of Auradon prep was outside awaiting their strange new exchange students, hiding their fear so that they can give a warm welcome. Maybe they should've made it more private, but seeing as the limo just parked in front of them, it was too late for changes.

Ben plastered on the best smile he could, and prepared to greet them, but he couldn't. He just stared at the four teens exited the limo quietly. They seemed tense, they just stared at everyone and didn't even look at each other.

"Is this how you usually greet guests?" A purple haired girl asked.

Purple hair?

Ben realized he was staring at the girl from his dreams, he opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. The girl seemed to notice and just stared at him.

"Not usually, you guys are different. We normally don't have exchange students." Ben managed to say with a chuckle, "I guess it is a bit elaborate."

She nodded, "Yeah. Not really what I was expecting, though the most I know from Auradon comes from stories and that dumb channel."

Ben was confused by what she meant, but shrugged it off and looked at the other three. "Well, Welcome to Auradon prep. I'm Ben."

"Mal." Purple haired girl replied, she seemed to be the leader type. She was the only one who had talked. She had to be the daughter of Maleficent.

"The name's Jay." A boy with long brown hair said, his complexion was a bit more tan and he seemed to have a bunch of items stuffed into his pockets. Son of Jafar for sure. Jay winked at Audrey, who fake smiled.

"I'm Evie, daughter of the evil queen." A girl with blue hair and a v-braid smiled, bowing at him. Well, he didn't need to guess for that one, Not like there were many choices left.

Ben looked over at a boy with white hair and black roots. He was definitely the son of Cruella de Vil, if the fashion choices and hair hadn't been obvious. His face was also littered with freckles, which Ben though was ironic given the Cruella-Dalmatian situation.

Ben waited for the boy to speak, but was only given a cold glare.

"And that's Carlos, who for whatever reason doesn't talk." Mal explained, giving an angry glare to Carlos. Ben would have to mention that to Fairy Godmother, wherever she went.

"Well, welcome to Auradon, as I said I'm Ben,"

"Prince Ben!" Audrey interrupted, "Soon-to-be King!"

This was going to be a long day, and Ben wasn't excited for it.

"So this is where you'll eat dinner, which is right now. Go ahead and grab what you want from the table and bring it back to any seat." Ben explained. "I don't know how meals work on the isle, but I assume you guys know what to do?"

"Meals weren't really a thing on the isle. It was more or less eat when you have something to eat." Mal stated, grabbing a plate. Jay and the others copied what she did, seeing as they had no idea what to do. "Luckily for me, I had food more often than others due to my mother's status."

Jay couldn't help but feel like shit, he tried to ignore the stares he was getting but it was difficult. His instincts told him he was being watched, and on the isle that meant he'd have to prepare to fight. He couldn't fight in Auradon, they probably would just send him back to the isle if he did.

He did know one way for people to stop staring at him, but he realized it wouldn't work if everyone was staring at all four of them. He wanted to divert the attention onto Evie or Carlos, but he figured they weren't free from the stares either.

Jay grabbed one of everything from the table, they all looked so good and he had to try all of it. Maybe he could bring leftovers back to the dorm, he knew Carlos would so why not do it too?

Jay followed Mal to an empty table. He'd rather be sitting elsewhere but Mal was their leader and he had to sit with her. Evie and Carlos did the same, both had much smaller portions of food on their plates, but it was still more than what they got on the isle.

"So, anyone seen Fairy Godmother around?" Mal asked the group, "because I haven't found anything on her damn wand."

Evie looked up with a smile, "we could ask my magic mirror!"

Mal smirked and looked around cautiously, "we'll meet up in one of our dorms after dinner then, bring the mirror."

Evil nodded, and Jay couldn't help but notice the slight regret in her eyes.

"And if we can't find the wand, what'll we do?" Jay asked, hoping that there was an alternative. Jay loved some mischief, but getting that wand seemed like too much work.

"Well, our buddy Carlos over here can help out, right?" Mal grinned at the younger boy, who just glared at her, "you've tore a hole in the magic barrier before, haven't you?"

Jay's eyes widened, "He what!"

Evil stared in shock, but didn't make a sound.

Mal smirked, "Yeah, it's the reason my mother's bird returned."

Carlos continued glaring, and Jay couldn't help but wonder what else that psychotic genius had done. The barrier was supposed to be unbreakable, nothing could get through no matter what.. but yet that mute asshole could accomplish the impossible.

Jay really wanted to punch Carlos, but with others in the cafeteria, he decided against it.

"But let's hope getting the wand will work out fine." Mal sighed, eating a bite of food. Jay analyzed her, and he noticed she was analyzing everything around her. Mal was strong, that was obvious. Jay definitely didn't want to cross her, but he already had many times on the isle. He was on bad terms with all three of them on the isle, so it wasn't fun to see that he'd have to cooperate with them.

"Hello children, I'm Fairy Godmother. I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet you all when you arrived, but there was a situation I had to take care of." A woman explained as she walked up to their table.

Jay and the others looked over, staring at her. She didn't look like the hag that was described in history class in Dragon Hall. She looked younger, with brown hair, but she certainly looked like the uptight bitch that she was said to be.

"Hi, I'm Mal, that's Jay, Evie, and Carlos." Mal greeted, "Is there anything you needed?"

The woman nodded and but on a smile, "I needed to see Carlos. I was told he can't talk and I need to make sure his experience here is problem free."

Carlos rolled his eyes, but didn't stand up. He just looked at Fairy Godmother with a cold glare.

"Can you come with me dear?" She asked, fake smiling.

Carlos sighed and nodded, standing up and exchanging glares with Mal. Mal definitely wanted him to investigate the wand situation.

The boy walked away, and Jay felt the stares again, they were mostly on Carlos but still some people stared at Jay and the girls.

Jay really wanted to go home.
