Once upon a time, long long ago. Actually just like 20 years ago. Belle married her beast in front of 6,000 of their closest personal friends. Instead of a honeymoon, Beast united of the kingdoms and got himself elected King of The United States of Auradon. He rounded up all the villains, the sidekicks, (or as one of my best friends would say all the really interesting people) and he banished them all to The Isle of the Lost with a magical barrier to keep them there. As the daughter of Hades, this is my town. No magic. No Wi-Fi. No way out. Or so we thought. The day had started out normal, kids ruining around doing our own thing. Mal, daughter of Maleficent, was spray painting a silhouette of her mother surrounded by green flames with LONG LIVE EVIL! written on it.

They say I'm trouble
They say I'm bad
They say I'm evil
That makes me glad

A little further away Jay, son of Jafar, climbed down a ladder to the first floor of a building passing a spray painted silhouette of his dad in genie form with stars and a moon surrounding him with the words LONG LIVE EVIL! written on it.

A dirty no good
Down to the bone

Jay opened a large garage door styled sliding door to reveal me, Helena, smirking.

Your worst nightmare
Can't take me home

Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen, walked along a table where multiple were trying to eat.

So I got some mischief
In my blood
Can you blame me

I never got no love

Carlos, son of Cruella DeVille, popped out of a window and looked around.

They think I'm callous
A low life hood
I feel so useless

Misunderstood

I joined with Mal and Evie walking down an alleyway as Jay performed tricks on a pipe and slide down a rooftop. Carlos jumped over beds that held sleeping people waking them up.

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all
Welcome to my wicked world
Wicked world

We all joined up at a gate before opening it and interrupting people from doing their laundry by jumping in it and knocking them over.

I'm rotten to the core core
Rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core core
Who could ask for more
I'm nothing like the kid next
Like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the…
I'm rotten to the…
I'm rotten to the core

We all ran down a pipe covered alleyway, laughing before going our separate ways. Mal and I entered the area with gypsies giving fortunes and others.

Call me a schemer
Call me a freak

Mal spray painted a M on a sheet before pulling back revealing a man in the bath.

How can you say that?
You're just unique.

In another area, Jay flipped over onto the floor from a small upper area and pretended to pour tea to two people before jumping over it and stealing the teapot.

What me a traitor?
Ain't got your back?
Are we not friends?
What's up with that?

In the market, Evie was moving through the scarfs.

So I'm a misfit
So I'm a flirt
I broke your heart?
I made ya hurt?

Carlos jumped onto a table and knocked over potatoes, apples and other food items in their baskets.

The past is past
Forgive forget
The truth is

Y'ain't seen nothing yet

In a warehouse Mal Evie and I watched as the boys played around below us laughing.

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all
Welcome to my wicked world
Wicked world

We all ran out into a road where many people were walking around. Many people ran away from us because of who our parents, but a few joined us in dancing in the middle of the road.

I'm rotten to the core core
Rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core core
Who could ask for more
I'm nothing like the kid next
Like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the…
I'm rotten to the…
I'm rotten to the core

A woman was pulling her son in a red wagon in front of us and Mal bent down and stole the lollipop from him and held it above her head as a trophy. Everyone behind us cheered her on and laughed until we saw two goons walking towards us. Everyone behind us ran for it and Mal looked confused until I pointed behind her with my eyes. Her head fell but she turned and smiled at the person behind the two goons.

"Hi mom." He greeted sounding cheerful.

"Stealing candy, Mal. I'm so disappointed." Maleficent said with false disappointment in her voice.

"It was from a baby." Mal told her handing her the lollipop.

"That's my nasty little girl." Maleficent said with a sneer on her face. Maleficent took the lollipop from Mal, spit on it and put it under her arm pit for a moment. She then held it out to her goon. "Give it back to the dreadful creature." She ordered.

"Mom!" Mal said watching him do as he was told.

"It's the deets, Mal that make the difference between "mean" and truly evil!" Maleficent said waving to the mother as she pulled her child away in the red wagon. "When I was your age I was cursing entire kingdoms." She told her daughter, who'd heard this so much she said is lowly with her mother. "Walk with me." They walked away a few steps, but we could still hear them. "See I'm just trying to teach you the thing that really counts. How to be me." This was, of course the center of all our parents lessons.

"I know that." Mal told Maleficent. "and I'll get better." Evie and I shared a look before looking back at the pair.

"Oh! There's news! I've buried the lead!" Maleficent said moving back to where she'd been before as did Mal. "You five have been chosen to go to a different school, in Auradon." She told us. The reaction was immediate. Mal turned to us as we all attempted our own escape. Evie back right into a goon. Carlos turned to run but was grabbed. Jay tried to take out the goon, but that was a no go. And me, well, I turned and ran as well but the goon grabbed my arms and spun me back in place between Evie and Carlos.

"What?!" Mal asked her mother in shock. "I'm not going to some boarding school filled to the brim prissy pink princess"

"And perfect princes!" Evie said stepping up to our friends side, before getting a look from said friend. "Ugh."

"Yeah, and I don't do uniforms." Jay told her. "Unless their leather, ya feel me?" Jay said holding his hand up to Carlos for a high five, but Carlos ignored him and stepped up to Mal's side.

"I read somewhere that they allow dogs in Auradon. Mom said they're rapid pack animals who eat boys who don't behave." Jay moved to Carlos' side and barked like a dog making the smaller boy jump back and Evie start laughing.

"And let's not forget an entire pantheon of gods and goddess who will have no issue putting me in the Underwold." I pointed out.

"Yeah, mom we're not going." Mal told her.

"You're thinking small pumpkin. It's all about world domination!" she said before turning her smile on us. "Knuckledheads!" she called before walking away from us. "Mal!" she sang/called to her daughter as she walked to the castle where she and our parents resided. We followed her into the castle and up to the top floor where our parents were before as she sat in the throne. "You will go. You will find the Fairy Godmother. And you will bring me back her magic wand." She said fixing her nails before looking at the five of us. "Easy peasy."

"Easy peasy?" I asked her with my eyebrow raised in skepticism.

"Lemon squeasy." She said winking at us and I shook my head.

"What in it for us?" Mal asked her.

"Matching thrones." Her and hers crowns." Maleficent listed off.

"I think she meant us." Carolos pointed out as Mal pointed to us. Maleficent threw her nail file behind her, got off her throne, and motioned her daughter to get closer to her.

"It's all about you and me, baby. Do you enjoy watching innocent people suffer?" Maleficent asked her daughter.

"Well, yeah. I mean who doesn't?" Mal asked her.

"Well then get me the wand, and you and I can see that and so much more!" she said dreamily. "And with that wand and my scepter I will be able to bend both good and evil to my will!"

"Our will!" the Evil Queen said, putting her mirror down finally. Cruella pointed at Evil Queen as both Jay and Jafar looked at Maleficent and my dad gave her a look that would have killed back in the day.

"Our will, our will." Maleficent snapped to get her daughters attention once again. "And if you refuse, you're grounded for the rest of your life missy."

"Wha? Mom…" Maleficent snapped her fingers to cut Mal off and they did some kind of weird staring contest before Mal looked away. "Okay, fine. Whatever."

"I win." Maleficent said before I moved towards my dad.

"Evie." Evil Queen called to her daughter. "My little evilette in training. You just find yourself a prince with a big castle and a mother-in-law wing."

"And lot and lot of mirrors!" mother and daughter said together after which Evie laughed at the idea.

"No laughing!" her mother reminded her. "Wrinkles!"

"Well they're not taking my Carlos, because I'd miss him too much." Cruella said.

"Really mom?" Carlos asked his mother in shock.

"Yes!" she told him. "Who'd touch up my roots, fluff my furs and scrap the bunions off my feet?"

"Maybe a new school wouldn't be so bad." Carlos said.

"Carlos, they have dogs in Auradon." Cruella reminded her son.

"Oh no! I'm not going!" Carlos told Maleficent.

"Ugh!"

"Well Jay isn't going either!" Jafar declared. "I need him to stock the shelves in my store. What did you score?" Jay started pulling things out from gods knew where in his outfit, but once he pulled out the lamp everything else was in the back of Jafar's mind. Jafar rubbed the thing to death before Jay stopped him.

"I already tried." Jay said and Jafar tossed the lamp back to him in disappointment.

"Helena isn't going." My dad decided. "With Zeus, Hercules and the rest of the family kicking me and Cerberus out of the Underworld the minute they see her she'll be down there."

"You're really worried about me?" I asked him.

"Of course. Without you who else will take care of Cerberus and how will you be able to help me take Mount Olympus from the Underworld and all the duties as God." He stated and I sighed. Did I forget to mention dad got to keep Cerberus? Of course he isn't what he once was. The once giant three headed dog was turned into a single headed Doberman. According to dad, once I was born Cerberus saw it as his duty to protect me from anyone or anything.

"Well Evie's not going anywhere till we get rid of this unibrow." Evil Queen told her.

"What is wrong with you all?!" Maleficent asked the villains. "People used to cower at the mention of our names! For twenty years, I have searched for a way off this island. For twenty years, they have robbed us of our revenge. Revenge on Snow White and her horrible little men"

"Ow."

"Revenge on Aladdin and his bloated genie." She continued.

"I will…" Jafar started saying before Jay stopped him.

"Pop!"

"Revenge on Hercules and his little pet horse." She brought up.

"Not to mention his wench." My dad added thoughtfully.

"Revenge on every Dalmatian that escaped your clutches." Maleficent told Cruella.

"Oh, but they didn't get baby." Cruella told her before reaching for a small squeaky dog on her coat. "They didn't get the – they didn't get the baby!" she laughed making me roll my eyes. We all knew it was just a toy, but no one mentioned anything.

"And I! Maleficent, the evilest of them all," she proclaimed before sitting on the Evil Queen lap and taking her mirror to look at herself in it. "I will finally have my revenge on Sleeping Beauty and her relentless little prince. Villains."

"Yes?"

"Yes?"

"Yes?"

"Yes?"

"Our day has come. EQ, give her the magic mirror." Maleficent ordered.

"Here." Evil Queen said handing Evie a small hand held mirror.

"This is your magic mirror?" Evie asked her making a face.

"It ain't what it used to be." Her mother told her. "Then again neither are we." She and Maleficent shared a small laugh. "It will help you find things."

"Like a prince." Evie said excitedly.

"Like my waistline." Evil Queen joked.

"Like the magic wand! Hello?!" Maleficent added.

"Hello." Evil Queen replied to her.

"Spell book. My book!" Maleficent said. "I need my… that book." Evil Queen pointed to the fridge. "Oh ah! The safe! The safe! Queen help me!" the Evil Queen got up to help Maleficent with the door. "I never can figure this thing out." The Evil Queen opened the door for the fairy with a small flourish. "My spell… come darling, come!" she pulled the spell book from the freezer portion of the fridge and showed it to Mal who'd joined her by her side. "It doesn't work here, but it will in Auradon. Remember? When we were spreading evil and ruining lives?"

"Like it was yesterday." The Evil Queen told her.

"And now, you will be making your own memories." Maleficent told Mal. "By doing exactly as I tell you. Door."

"Door." The Evil Queen said as she closed the door and a horn sounded from below us.

"Let's get this party started." Jay said.

"Carlos! Come." Cruella ordered her son.

"Cerberus is downstairs waiting for you." Dad told me as I grabbed my things. Isn't it interesting how we didn't know we were going and our parents didn't want us to go, but our bags were packed?

"Who is the fairest of them all?" Evil Queen asked her daughter.

"Me!" She said happily looking herself over in the mirror.

"HA!"

"You."

"Yes, let's go."

"Now recite our mantra." Jafar told Jay.

"There's no team in I." Jay told him slapping his arm.

"Oh! Run along you're making me tear up!" Jafar told his son before they followed us down to the car.


When we got outside I was surprised to see a limo waiting for us.

"I guess we're arriving in style." I said as I packed my bags into the trunk, Cerberus at my side. Evie was the first in the limo followed by Jay, Carlos, me and Cerberus and finally Mal.

"Bye bye!" Jafar called out. "Bring home the gold!"

"Bring home a puppy!"

"Bring home a prince!"
