Belle again started reading after mal told her to continue. Everyone was silent, eager and nervous to know what will happen.

"What do we have to do, Mal?" Ben asked as Mal turned around and faced him.

"Kill her, before she can kill me" mal mumbled, and thankfully no one heard her.

"I have a plan. Since the actual threat is made to basically all the royals, I think it would be safe if they go to the Moors, my homeland. Basically, today we will stay at our hideout on the Isle, and then we'll move to the Moors. But, in order to do that. We'll have to leave early in the morning to start our journey to the Isle of Doom, to the Forbidden Fortress because the gateway to the Moors is right behind it." Mal said as everyone nodded.

"I thought the moors was destroyed?" Evie said.
"No eve's, my mother kept moors safe for many years under hiding, and mal is technically in line for the throne" Audrey said while mal nodded.

"Indeed. That is a very good plan, Queen Mal." The Blue Fairy said softly as she walked towards the couple. Everyone bowed their heads in respect to the Blue Fairy.

"Yeah, we have to bow, cause she is one of the strongest fairy other than mom and Maleficent" jane said while the others agreed with her. Blue fairy smiled at them.

"Thank you."

"Okay, first part of the plan...Evie." Mal said making Evie step forward.

"Give all the men Isle wear and all the ladies except the Vk's any dress that can be suitable for this journey." Mal said as Evie nodded.

"You'll look quite handsome in isle clothes, bennyboo" mal smirked while Ben blushed and then kissed her lips. Even though they are adults they can't stop being like teens, acting all lovey dovey.

"Oh, and get our original Isle ware out. We'll need it."

"Yes, Ma'am." Evie said making Mal chuckle softly.

"Evie" mal said while the others laughed.

"Carlos. Harry."

"Yes, Ma'am."

"Again, you guys are gonna be the death of me" mal said whilst laughing while Carlos and Harry grinned.

"Get minimum food."

"Yes, Ma'am." Harry said as Mal shook her head and looked at Jay.

Mal shook her head in amusement.
These guys will never change . She thought.

"We will take 7 limos. Please see to that." She said as Jay nodded.

"Thank you jay, you're not acting like them" mal said while jay smirked at the others.

"Guys...We need to talk about something." Uma said to the Vk's as they all nodded and followed Uma to a corner.

"About what?" Gil asked.

"If we get short of food, the 7 of us can stay hungry. Because I don't want our children to stay hungry." Uma said as the others nodded.

"You all are not doing anything like that, if we are eating, you 7 will be eating too" hades said while the others agreed. Mal tried to open her mouth but one glare from Persephone silenced her.

"Of course we can. We've lived there basically half our lives." Evie said as Mal nodded.

"Now you guys don't have to" Ben said  like a comand while the other auradonians and Mal's family agreed.

"Yes, we can. I know we can do this. Meet back in 10 minutes?" She asked as the other nodded and they parted ways.

"This is gonna be interesting" Mallory said while the other kids nodded at her.

Mal walked towards the Blue Fairy and Fairy Godmother.

"Blue Fairy, can you and Fairy Godmother help me form a shield upon the town so that my mother won't be able to harm them?" Mal asked as the two Fairy's nodded their heads.

"That's a brilliant idea mal, you're a great queen. Always thinking about the others" FG praised her while mal blushed and waved her off. Ben smiled at his queen.

"Of course, Queen Mal."

"You guys know that right you don't have to call me queen mal?" She asked to no one in particular.

The three walked out and started working on a spell to protect the town.

Once they were done, Mal walked back into the room everyone else was in making everyone look at her.

"This will be the beginning of am adventure" jay said while Harry nodded to him.

"Alright. Everyone, meet me in 10 minutes." She said as everyone nodded.

"Prince Phillip." She called making the prince turn to her.

"Why are you calling Philip?" Ben inquired.
"I don't know about my future self, Ben" mal said in a matter of fact way.

"Yes, Queen Mal."

"Again with 'queen' mal?! It's only Mal" she exclaimed.

"Just asking...You know the way to the Forbidden Fortress, right?"

"He knows" mal answered to the everyone's unmasked question.

"Yes...Why?"

"Papa's confused" Audrey said with a laugh.

"Because if something happens to me along the way, I will want you to lead the way to the Fortress. I also believe you know the gateway to the moors, correct?"

"First of mal, nothing will happen with you, so don't think like that" Ben said and kissed her with love.

Hades and Steph hugged her and Hadie gave her one arm hug.

"Correct. And I know and believe that nothing will happen to you."

"Philip and my mentality is almost alike" Ben added with a chuckle.

"Yes, but still. For precaution. Also, to let you know. There's a password for opening the gateway to the moors. The password is the song you and Aurora sang but in a different language. I think Princess Aurora may know it." Mal said as the Prince nodded his head.

"The password is the song 'once upon a dream'?" Belle asked while mal only nodded to her.

"Of course, Queen Mal. Now go get ready dear. I will talk to Aurora."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me, you're like my daughter." Phillip smiled before taking off to look for his wife.

"Yes you're a sister to me mal" Audrey said and hugged her best friend pseudo sister.
"Yeah, you're a sister to me too" chad said and bro hugged her.

Ben smiled at the interaction between his best friends and his wife .

After 10 minutes, they all met Mal and Jay in front of the limos.
Everyone started boarding the limos as Ben walked over to Mal.

"Awwww...my bal moment" Evie squealed. While Ben and mal laughed.

"Jay will be driving the first limo and the other's will be following him. I will be in front on my bike." Mal announced before looking at Ben.

"Mal, please be safe on the bike." He said as Mal smiled and put her small hand on his face.

"Awwwwwwwww!!!!" All the girls gushed and then nudged their husbands to learn something from Ben.

Ben and mal blushed and then kissed each other again.

"I'll be on speed of 100 kilometers per hour, so...I'll be the first to reach there and I'll check if everything is okay. Alright?" She said as Ben nodded. She smiled before pecking Ben on his lips and leaving on her bike.

"Mommy, can I have your bike, when I grew older?" Mallory asked while mal nodded. Mallory jumped in excitement.

Mal left for the Isle in full speed as Jay got everything ready.

A few minutes after Mal arrived, she spotted Jay and the other's arriving in the limos.

"Our journey begins" announced Gil.

Everyone came out of the limos before following Jay towards the hideout. He threw a stone at the sign, allowing the gate to open before Jay lead everyone to the hideout.

"Wow, the entrance idea is cool. Who set it up?" Adam asked.
"We found it that way" uma answered.

Once inside, all the Auradonians and their children were amazed to see all the spray paintings on the wall that were done by Mal.

"I love those paintings" Ben said while mal smiled.

A few minutes later, everyone was settled down. Some were on the beds, some on the sofas, some on the floor, some on stools, and some remained standing.

"We have to make some more sitting arrangements there" mal said while the Vk's agreed.

Suddenly, Mal felt a sharp pain her head causing her to collapse. Before she could reach the floor, Ben caught her.

"What's happening?" Ben asked in a frantic manner worried for mal.

"What happened to her?" He asked.

"Ben, let belle read first" mal said .

"Mal? Mal? Are you okay?" He asked as everyone gathered around her.

Ben hugged mal close to him.

Hades, Hadie, and her children also called out her name.

Meanwhile, Mal had a vision of her mother talking about 9 evil talismans.

"No no no. Not them. No." Mal shouted while the others except for the former isle residence grew pale.

Suddenly, she shot up to see everyone looking at her with concerned faces.

"What happened? Is she okay" ben  asked.

Everyone sighed in relief once they saw she was awake.

"Mal? Honey, are you okay?" Ben asked as Mal nodded her head and stood up. Brushing herself off, she walked over to the Blue Fairy who was talking to Fairy Godmother.

"I'm fine Ben, don't worry" mal said to Ben who was clinging to her like a koala bear.

"What are the 9 talismans?" Mal asked making the Blue Fairy look down at her.

"Pls not them" mal shouted.

"Your mother was talking about the 9 talismans right?" She asked making Mal nod.

"That's her evil plan" mal growled at the mention of maleficent.

"There are 9 talismans of Evil.
Number 9 being Gaston's pride and joy...his gun.
Number 8 is the rudeness of Captain Hook...His first ever sword.
Number 7 is Ursula's necklace.
Number 6 is Cruella's Ring of Envy.
Number 5 is Evil Queen's Fruit of Venom.
Number 4 is Jafar's Golden Cobra.
And Maleficent has three talismans, the Dragon's Eye, the Dragon Egg, and the third one is unknown." The Blue Fairy explained as Mal nodded her head.

"I think I know what the last talisman is?" Mal thought but didn't said anything aloud.

"So... We know nothing about this but, I do remember reading a couple of books about it in the Athenaeum of secrets at Dragon Hall from the last time I was there." Mal said before turning around and looking at Evie and Jay.

"The time, when we broke I to there?" Jay asked.
"I guess" Evie said or more like whispered.

"So Jay. You along with Evie and I will head to Dragon Hall then to the Bergain Castle, okay?" Mal said as Jay and Evie nodded their heads.

"Why not me?" Carlos asked.
"I don't want you to be in danger. Not you nor Evie or jay. But they can handle themselves, and you are our little brother. So it's our job to protect you" mal said while Carlos hugged her and the other two tightly.

"Okay." The two replied as Adam frowned.

"Mal...Why are you going to the Bergain Castle?" He asked as Mal turned towards him.

"To collect something" mal said.

"To collect something." Mal simply said but with a look of seriousness

"Seriously?!" Mal exclaimed again while the others laughed and ben pecked her lips.

"So who'll read now?" Belle asked.
"I will" Hadie said and took the book.
