Azari's Lair

Yzma was going in a rampage to destroy everything in sight with magic, furious.

Azari and Isa were just watching her, bored.

"Yzma, are you quite done?" Azari asked.

Yzma laughed sarcastically, shaking her head. "No, no, no, no, no. Not done. Far from done. Not done at all!"

"Okay, crazy pants, can you stop destroying things long enough for us to come up with a plan?" Isa asked in annoyance.

"Unless you want to be turned back into a cat," Azari warned.

Yzma stopped, forcing herself to calm down, sitting down, arms crossed, glaring out at nothing.

Isa sighed. "Thank you."

Yzma huffed. "The clones should have worked. And they were working, until Yeva..."

"Until your daughter upgraded herself from voodoo princess to voodoo queen," Isa finished. "Yes, yes, we know."

Azari sighed. "She is definitely stronger than I thought she would be. Stronger than the voodoo queen that helped the first Guardian and group of demigods lock me away. Stronger than Facilier. Oh, and not only do we have to worry about Yeva, but we still have to worry about Celia, too."

"You leave those brats and their father to me," Yzma told them. "I'll find a way to make them pay."

"How are you going to do that when they're more powerful than you?" Isa asked.

"I can use what I told you to get under their skin," Yzma answered. "About Yzla, Zevon and Freddie Facilier. Don't you think that'll distract them enough to where I can destroy them?"

Azari turned to Isa. "Well, she's in a delightfully malicious mood. It was your idea to bring her back."

"You said that you were already thinking about doing so," Isa replied. "And we did ruin Yeva and Jay's wedding, didn't we?"

Azari pointed to a wall of cameras at the far side of the room. "No, we didn't."

They looked toward the recording of Yeva and Jay's wedding at the water mansion.

Yzma was seething mad, shouting. "We didn't even stop it?"

Isa closed her eyes in annoyance. "Would you shut the hell up? Calm down, Yzma. We still have a chance."

"A chance for what?" Yzma demanded. "To fail again?"

"Okay, first of all, today wasn't really a fail," Azari told her. "We did make Yeva and Jay's day the worst we could, you should've seen them before the fake wedding at the church. We didn't know that the others were setting up another wedding until it was too late, so just chill."

Yzma used air quotes. "'Chilling' is not something I'm used to doing."

"Yes, we know, you made that very clear," Isa told her. "Now can you please calm down so that we can think of something else?"

Yzma sat down, arms crossed again, grumbling to herself.

"Stop pouting," Azari told her. "You can stay focused on Yeva, Jay, Celia and Facilier if you want to. Me and Isa have to stay focused on one thing."

Azari and Isa nodded. "Izzy."

"And there's one thing standing in the way of Izzy truly becoming something like us, stopping her from potentially joining us," Azari told her.

"Yes, indeed," Isa agreed. "Harry Hook has been the bane of my existence for a long time now. Now it's time to make sure that he can no longer stand in our way."

"And how are you going to do that?" Yzma asked.

"Well, I've been involving the parents of those kids for situations like this," Azari explained. "Bringing you back to face Yeva, not to mention Jay, Celia and Facilier. Asking Cruella for help against Carlos and Ara, before she chose Carlos. Bringing Isa back was for me and for Izzy."

Isa nodded. "So it looks like we're gonna have to involve Harry's father. Captain James Hook has a bone to pick with him and his sisters, Harriet and Calista Jane. Otherwise known as CJ."

Azari pointed at Isa. "I like the way you think. Where do you think we can find their father? Been an awfully long while since I've even thought of James Hook. We just might have to help him with that fight that he is itching to have with his children. Not just Harry, but Harriet and Calista Jane/CJ as well."

Yzma smirked. "Well, color me impressed. If I know James, and I do, he's most likely at the sea, trying to get his ship to set sail again."

Isa nodded in agreement. "Indeed, indeed. Azari, why don't you go pay our old friend a little visit?"

Azari smirked. "I'd love to. If you and Yzma can do something for me later, Isa. It's something that you're going to love very much."

Azari, Isa and Yzma all smiled wickedly, laughing.

Izzy and Harry's Mansion - Kitchen

Izzy was cooking breakfast, which was like a big buffet, looking at an address on a notepad nearby, biting her lip, thinking. She turned the radio on to listen to some music, realizing it was salsa dancing music, dancing a little.

Harry walked in, seeing her, smirking. "Hmm, for once, I'm not walking in on you having a hallucination, an obsessive moment, or in a heavy thinking moment. No, instead, I walk in on you cooking and dancing away."

"Hmm," Izzy hummed sarcastically. "Hilarious."

"Well, I thought so," Harry told her smugly.

Izzy smirked. "Well, think again. What did you want for breakfast?"

Harry chuckled, walking closer. "You know, I'm never going to get used to this."

"Used to what?" Izzy asked.

"You and me, acting like a normal couple," Harry answered. "We're not a normal couple, Izzy."

"And is that a bad thing?" Izzy asked.

"No, it's a good thing," Harry answered. "Being different makes us better, love. Although, we're usually the more chaotic kind."

"Well, we've been getting better for a long time now," Izzy pointed out. "And I don't know, even with everything going on with my parents, with the hallucinations, because of you, I started to feel better, like myself again, and I don't want that to change now. I need to stay in the good, positive mood, or else I'm gonna lose my mind."

"Again," Harry told her.

Izzy nodded in agreement, tilting her head. "Again."

Izzy continued to dance and cook.

Harry walked closer, watching Izzy, smiling a little. "It's good to see you like this again, darling."

Izzy spun to face him, chuckling. "Well, it feels good to feel like this again."

Harry smirked. "You gonna eat all that yourself?"

Izzy chuckled. "I always make enough for a dinner party, Harry." Izzy held her hand toward Harry. Harry took Izzy's hand, kissing it, pulling her closer into a close, passionate dance. "What are you doing?"

"Joining in on the fun," Harry answered. "And making sure your mind stays off of certain things."

Harry spun Izzy around, leading her in a dance. They were both smiling while dancing the salsa, decent at the dance. Harry spun her around into a dip, pulling her back, continuing to spin her around. Izzy spun closer to where her back was to his chest, and his hands were on her hips, smiling, brushing her hair back out of her face. Harry trailed his fingers up Izzy's arm. Izzy turned to face him. They both looked at each other intensely for a moment. Harry brushed her hair back with his hook, kissing her, backing her into the counter behind her. Izzy returned the kiss passionately. Harry kissed her cheek and neck, causing Izzy to laugh lightly, until he saw something behind her, stopping in confusion.

"What?" Izzy asked.

Harry picked up the paper with the address on it. "What is this?"

"Um, Harry..." Izzy trailed off.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Um, I wanted to tell you before, but..." Izzy trailed off. "I didn't know how to, so I did the whole breakfast thing, and, uh... was hoping that it would soften everything up before..."

Harry turned to give her a look, curious and confused. "Before what, exactly? Little duckling, you should know that secrets don't stay hidden from me for long."

"One, enough with the 'little duckling'," Izzy told him. "Two, it's not a secret. It was a surprise. There's a difference."

"Is there?" Harry asked in amusement.

"Yes, there is," Izzy answered. "And now you've ruined the surprise. Not really, but now I don't know how to tell you because I know you're not gonna like it at first, but I think that you will like it soon. Maybe sooner than you think, and--"

Harry chuckled a bit, sighing, putting the paper down. "Isabella."

"Yeah?" Izzy asked.

"Out with it," Harry told her.

Izzy nodded sheepishly. "Okay. Um, well, do you wanna sit down and eat breakfast first? I put in a lot of effort into it. And there's a lot here."

Harry gave her a look. "No, I just wanna talk about whatever it is you're keeping from me."

Izzy sighed, looking away. "For one, I was never intending to keep it from you, just wanted to tell you after we could eat and so that you would be a little less grumpy when I told you."

"Izzy, I just danced with you while breakfast was making," Harry told her. "I'm not grumpy."

"You will be, trust me," Izzy told him. "Breakfast? Last offer."

"Then here's my last answer," Harry told her. "No."

Izzy gave a little growl/sigh. "Fine. Here goes." She took a deep breath. "I've been getting a couple calls... from people close to you lately... Harriet and CJ." Harry sighed, closing his eyes, looking down. "And they wanna see you."

Harry nodded. "You're right, I am grumpy now."

Harry turned away.

Izzy slid into his way, tilting her head. "Harry."

"What?" Harry asked. "Harriet and CJ left me on the Isle, managing to get away, and leaving me with our father. The only reason I could survive that was staying away from him completely and staying on the ship with Uma, River, Gaige and Gil. The only time that I ever had to deal with our father was because I was protecting Ettie and Cali from him."

"Yeah, exactly," Izzy told him. "So now that none of you are in the Isle, and they know my number now... not sure how they knew that, by the way... but they do wanna see you and talk to you."

"And why would I want to see or talk to them after they abandoned me?" Harry asked.

"Maybe you'll find out why they left you if you talk to them," Izzy answered. "I mean, come on. What damage could it do for you to talk to CJ and Harriet?"

"You're a bit biased in this, since you were practically best friends with CJ," Harry pointed out. "And you and Harriet, either the two of you were best friends or enemies, depending on your moods and if anyone was trying to pit you two against each other. Gaige and Gil were either the mediators for you two or the victims for your teasing and pranks."

Izzy tilted her head. "Come on, Harry. They really wanna see you. And I know that you wanna know why they left you on the Isle, no matter what you say."

"And how would you know that?" Harry asked.

"Because I know you," Izzy answered. "I might not be able to do anything about my family, but I can help you fix yours. If you want me to."

Harry sighed, knowing she had a point, looking away over the food, seeing that there was way more than there should have been, looking at Izzy suspiciously. "What is all this food for?"

Izzy pursed her lips together. "Well, Harriet and CJ knew that you wouldn't go to the address that they left for me to write down, and I knew that you wouldn't either, so I told them..."

"That they could come here?" Harry finished. "Are you crazy?" Izzy gave him a look. Harry shook his head. "Don't answer that." They heard a knock on the door, knowing who it would be. Harry gave Izzy a look. Izzy pressed her lips together, looking toward the door. "Don't answer that, either."

Izzy tilted her head. "Harry."

Harry gave a little growl, sighing, giving in. "Fine. Let 'em in."

Izzy smiled, walking over to the front door, opening it to let Harriet in. "Harriet. Where's CJ?"

Harriet pointed behind Izzy. Izzy turned around.

CJ was swinging from a rope that was in the mansion, going around the rope. "Hi! Sorry to interrupt." She jumped down, smiling. "No, I'm not."

"Hey, CJ," Izzy told her.

CJ put her hands on her hips, tilting her head, smiling. "Hey, Izzy. Miss me? Oh, I was gonna give up dramatic entrances. So flashy. But what can I say? I'm hooked."

CJ made a hook with her finger, laughing.

Harriet sighed. "Hi, Izzy. Did he act the way that we said he would?" 

"Exactly as we said," Izzy answered.

"Hmm, you're so predictable, Harry," CJ told him.

Harry sighed. "Harriet. CJ."

CJ beamed, smiling, holding out her arms. "Shoutout to our dad for making the best daughter ever."

"Congratulations to Harriet, then, CJ," Harry told her sarcastically.

Harriet ignored his sarcasm, smirking. "Thanks, Harry."

Harry just looked at Harriet and CJ grumpily, who both smiled nervously, looking at Izzy for help.

Izzy clapped lightly. "Okay. Let's eat. Could take a little of the edge off."

Yeva and Jay's Loft - Bedroom

Yeva and Jay were lying in bed, eyes closed, both in pajamas. Jay was holing her. Yeva was content, slowly waking up, her eyes permanently glowing purple now after awakening as a real voodoo queen, seeing Jay, remembering their wedding night the night before, smiling happily, purely.

Jay opened his eyes slowly, jumping slightly upon seeing the glowing eyes right in front of him, closing his eyes. "Man."

Yeva laughed lightly. "The eyes, huh?"

"Yeah," Jay answered. "I'm gonna have to get used to them glowing all the time now and seeing them the first thing when I wake up."

"Is that a bad thing?" Yeva asked.

"No," Jay answered, smiling. "It's a good thing."

Yeva smiled. "Good?"

"Really good," Jay answered. They relaxed in each other's arms. "Is this torture for you?"

"What?" Yeva asked. "No. Why would waking up in my newlywedded husband's arms be torture?"

Jay smiled. "Not that. Because waking up in my newlywedded wife's arms is not torture for me. I just meant, with everything else going on, and we're still here in bed."

"No, I'm so happy just lying here and doing nothing," Yeva told him. "Just... being with you."

Jay opened his eyes again. "Mm-hmm. You're just making a mental checklist of all the things we have to do, huh? About the trio. Debating whether you should accidentally kick me awake so we can go be heroes again?"

Yeva smiled, opening her eyes, turning to look him in the eyes. "Uh, did you say kick, or did you say kiss?"

Yeva held the back of Jay's head, pulling him close to her so that she could kiss him passionately. They kissed happily for a moment or so, pulling away.

"Wow, Yeva," Jay told her.

Yeva smiled, biting her lip. "Yeah, wow. There's no other place that I would rather be right now, Jay. The morning after our wedding day. We should just be able to lay here and do nothing all day, but given everything that the trio's doing..."

"Yeah," Jay agreed.

Yeva nodded. "Yeah. So until they do something, and until our friends need us, what do you say that we just stay here and relax? Together."

Jay smiled, nodding. "Together."

They continued to kiss.

Celia walked in. "Good morning, lovebirds."

Yeva and Jay rolled away from each other, sighing. "Celia!"

"Are you kidding me?" Yeva asked.

Celia smiled. "I got coffee. Free-range, over-priced. One cream, two sugars, just like you like it."

Yeva and Jay took the coffee, taking sips.

"Is there any reason as to why you are barging into our bedroom at the crack of mid-morning?" Jay asked.

"Why you grumpy?" Celia asked. "I thought you'd want to celebrate today."

"I'm not grumpy," Jay answered. "Just wondering why you barged in."

"Yeah, Celia, why are you here?" Yeva asked. "No offense, little sister."

"Hmm, halfway to brag about how I blackmailed you two to having a Valentine's Day wedding, even when the trio almost ruined the day completely, ruining the first wedding, and the fact that we got to surprise you guys with the real wedding that we got to make sure that no one would ruin," Celia answered. "Jay, Yeva, you're finally married, and Yeva was able to become a full voodoo queen by mastering her powers on her own and using them to stop Azari, Isa and Yzma. Izzy's not completely losing herself to the dark side or her parents. Izzy and Harry are both getting better at managing slight craziness. Bane is becoming a better Guardian. Anthony and Ben are no longer losing control to their beast sides. Carlos is getting a hang of his new power. Ara and Mari can still help us save Auradon and be with their boyfriends while still being queen of their realms with little issue besides exhaustion. Uma and River figured out how to grow tentacles without needing water or to fully shift. Gaige and Gil could use their strength to help save the day. Everything is coming up us, which means, we need to celebrate. That, and Dad wants to have a few voodoo teaching lessons now that you're officially a Facilier voodoo queen, Yeva."

Yeva sighed. "Of course. Dad's the one that sent you in here to drag us out of here, isn't he? Not just for your celebration reasons."

"Yeah," Celia answered sheepishly. "Sorry. Dad just thinks that you should be able to control your powers better with more training, now that you're a voodoo queen and need more training so we can eventually be able to take down all of the trio and lock Azari away, and then Isa and Yzma won't be much of a problem anymore."

Jay sighed. "Yeah. Smart move."

"Yeah, I guess," Yeva agreed. "I just wanted to spend a little time with you here today."

"It's okay," Jay assured. "We still can, soon. I promise."

Yeva sighed. "Looks like the relaxing period's over. You were right, Jay. We do have a lot to do."

"All right," Jay told her. "So go be a warrior Facilier voodoo queen, Yeva."

They smiled. Celia smiled at them like that.

Izzy and Harry's Mansion - Kitchen/Dining Room

Izzy was getting the table ready and working in the kitchen.

Harry, Harriet and CJ were in the dining room, in full view of the kitchen, glancing from Izzy to each other, all of them awkward.

"So, Harry, see that you're going steady with Izzy, finally," CJ told him.

"What do you mean, 'finally'?" Harry asked.

"You were always crushing on Izzy since we were kids," CJ answered. "Back when Izzy and Yeva were being friends with you, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil, and Mal, Malia, Evie, Carlos and Jay."

"You've been practicing to keep anyone away from your back about it since you were eight," Harriet told him. "Always mumbling about how you didn't have a crush on Izzy, but when I asked you 'how's your crush doing?', you said, 'she's great'. Dumbass."

Harry looked at them skeptically. "We haven't seen each other in a long time, and that's what you decide to use to break the tension? Wow."

"Well, Harriet's right, Harry," CJ told him. "We knew you two were crushing on each other as kids even when Izzy was forced to be a heartbreaker by Queen of Hearts, and she even had to hurt you, too. You even have pet names for each other."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Cali, me and Isabella don't have pet names for each other."

CJ nodded sarcastically. "Uh-huh. Right. Izzy might not have names for you, but I know that you do for her." She saw that Izzy was about to walk toward them with CJ's food, getting an idea, smirking, looking at Harry. "What is Valentine's Day the day of, the reason why Izzy said that Celia blackmailed Yeva and Jay to get married that day, the day of..."

"Love," Harry answered.

Izzy reached their table, putting CJ's plate in front of her, looking at Harry. "What?"

"Nothing," Harry told her. "CJ's just trying and failing to make a point."

CJ smirked. "I haven't failed yet."

Izzy looked between them, walking into the kitchen again to get Harriet's food.

Harriet played along with CJ's way to tease Harry, looking at their brother. "What's a baby duck?"

"Duckling," Harry answered.

Izzy brought Harriet her food, pointing at Harry. "And I told you this morning to stop calling me that."

Izzy went back to get Harry's food.

CJ looked at Harry. "What is a queen before they become a queen?"

Izzy walked over to bring Harry his food.

"Princess," Harry answered.

Izzy put Harry's food in front of him, tilting her head at him. "Told you that you could stop calling me that, too."

Harry pressed his lips together. Izzy walked back for her own food.

Harriet smirked. "And what's Wendy's last name? You know, from the story that Dad always told us."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Darling."

Izzy reached the table again to put her own food down, looking at Harry. "You really wanted my attention this time, didn't you? Cycling through all the names--"

"Okay, Izzy, not helping," Harry told her. Izzy smirked, sitting at the table. Harry gave her a look. "Were you part of that?"

Izzy, Harriet and CJ smiled.

CJ tilted her head, smirking. "You were saying?"

Harry sighed. "Okay, I get it."

Harriet clinked her glass to Izzy and CJ's. "And our work here is done."

The girls took a drink.

Harry shook his head, slightly amused, sighing.

Izzy smiled. "It's good hanging out with you two again. I missed having you two to team up with to tease Harry."

Harriet and CJ smirked.

"Hmm, yeah, me too," Harriet agreed.

"Oh, I'm glad that my girlfriend and my sisters can get along," Harry told them, half sarcastic.

"Hmm, Harriet, you still the parental figure?" Izzy asked. "Responsible, loving, caring but also mean?"

"Sounds like you, Izzy," Harriet replied. "Except for the parental figure and responsible parts."

Izzy shrugged. "Maybe. CJ, you still a massive flirt?"

"Oh, yeah," CJ answered. "I learned from you, Izzy, the best. The more revealing clothes the better. I remember when Harry refused to let me out of my room until I covered up, and I would just point out about his ripped shirt. Ettie was always encouraging my style which made Harry so annoyed, which made me even more smug."

Izzy pointed at CJ. "If you ever needed any tips for the boys or clothes, I am the one to go to, and--"

Harry rolled his eyes. "Izzy."

Izzy looked at him. Harry shook his head. Izzy sat back, pressing her lips together over a smirk, which caused Harriet and CJ to smirk.

Izzy sighed. "I'm used to giving him warning 'Harry's. Not used to this side of things."

CJ smiled. "Ooh, Harry, remember all our fights?"

"Oh, how could I forget how you would launch yourself on my back like a money or diving over a table to tackle me?" Harry asked sarcastically. "Harriet would only sit and read as we almost killed each other, however always drew the line when one of us started biting. Only Izzy and Ettie could ever stop our fights, Cali."

Harriet chuckled. "Hmm, speaking of past, remember all the times that Izzy and I would prank Gaige and Gil? And always teased River and Gaige."

Izzy smiled. "Oh, yes. That's if someone on the Isle wasn't trying to pit us against each other."

"Yeah, I never got why the Isle teens always tried to turn us from best friends to mortal enemies, which we could do within seconds," Harriet admitted.

"Maybe because they knew that they couldn't handle the Princess of Hearts and Captain Hook's oldest daughter, and captain of her own crew, when they were at their best," CJ answered.

Izzy and Harry both corrected what CJ called Izzy. "Princess of Diamonds."

Izzy and Harry exchanged a look. Harriet and CJ looked at them in amusement.

"Izzy, you sure that it's okay for us to be over?" Harriet asked. "I mean, everyone knows about Azari, and how you and your group explained about him being your father to all of Auradon, and that he released your mother Isa from the scepter that was driving you insane before, before they brought back Yzma..."

Harry looked at Izzy. "I know that they didn't hear all that from Anthony, Ben and Bane's royal news meetings to keep Auradon updated. You told them too."

"Yeah, a little," Izzy answered. "Maybe."

"The breakfast is really good, Izzy," CJ told her. "Thank you."

"Yeah, of course," Izzy agreed.

"There's no way that Izzy Hearts made this meal without magic," Harriet told them, taking a bite.

Izzy chuckled, smiling. "No, I might've used a little."

"A little?" Harry asked skeptically.

Izzy smirked. "Okay, maybe a little more than a little." The four of them chuckled, continuing to eat. "Hey, you three can have the whole rest of the day to yourselves, if you want."

"Why?" CJ asked. "Where you going?"

Harry gave her a look. "Yeah, Izzy, where are you going?"

Izzy tilted her head. "I promised Yeva, Mal, Malia, Evie, Ara, Mari, Uma, River and Celia that we can meet up and have a little magic training. So we can try and stop..."

"Azari, Isa and Yzma?" Harriet finished.

"Yeah," Izzy answered. "We have to be prepared. The last two times, we could only stop them because of..."

"Yeva and Celia," Harriet finished.

Harry looked at Izzy. "How much did you tell them?"

"I didn't tell them that," Izzy answered.

CJ smiled. "No, we saw it on TV. Celia and Yeva taking down Azari, Isa and Yzma down with their father Facilier's voodoo staff was all over Auradon news."

Harry nodded sarcastically. "I'm sure it was."

Izzy smiled awkwardly. "Okay, I'm gonna go." She stood, leaning closer to Harry to whisper in his ear. "Be nice."

"I am being nice," Harry replied.

Izzy smirked, kissing his head. "I'll be back soon. Harriet, CJ, I'll see you two later."

"Yes, you will," CJ agreed, smiling, tilting her head, winking. "Later, Izzy."

Izzy chuckled, leaving the mansion, and the three Hook siblings alone to talk for the rest of the day, while tensions were still high for the siblings.

-----

Jolly Roger

James Hook was trying to get his ship to sail. "Come on. Come on!"

Azari slowly sauntered onto the ship. "Hello, James."

James turned to face him, immediately becoming nervous upon seeing him. "Azari. Hello, mate. After hearing you visited Cruella, released Isa,returned Yzma to human form, I was sure that this was only a matter of time."

"Hmm, well, you were right," Azari told him. "About that, at least."

James scoffed. "What is it you want? Revenge? To kill me, torment me?"

Azari smirked. "Well, why would I want to do that?"

"Because of what me and the others did by helping Facilier lock you away," James answered.

Azari chuckled. "Well, Cruella thought that I was seeking revenge against her also, and I'll tell you what I told you. What you and the other parents did is nothing in the grand design. I just want to make sure that all our children can't lock me away again, and that means using their parents, like yourself, to destroy them to make sure that they don't."

"All our children?" James repeated. "You have a child?"

"Have you been living under a rock or under a boat, more correctly?" Azari asked. "You know that I went to Cruella, brought back Isa and Yzma, yet you don't know that I have a daughter?"

"I only knew that you went to Cruella, Isa and Yzma because of Mr. Smee's blabbering mouth," James explained. "Never saw anything or heard about it myself, but I believed Smee. And what the bloody hell do you mean, you have a daughter? Who is she?"

Azari smirked. "Oh, the irony of you asking me who my daughter is. It's rich."

"What do you mean?" James asked. "How is it rich?"

"Because my daughter is the one dating your son Harry Hook," Azari answered. "Isabella, or more correctly, Izzy, Princess of Hearts/Diamonds."

James looked at him in shock. "You and Isa..." Azari chuckled. "And now Izzy and my son Harry."

"Mm-hmm," Azari answered. "And I've been keeping a close eye on our children, Hook. I know that Izzy was speaking to your daughters Harriet and CJ, trying to spark a family reunion between them and Harry."

James scowled. "Harriet and Calista abandoned me and the boy when they set sail away from the Isle on Auradon business. And then Harry was never the same after the girls were gone. And he was even worse off in the mental department after your former lover made your daughter break him even more."

"So you have a favorite child, or do you actually hate your kids?" Azari asked.

James broke open a bottle, drinking angrily in a haste. "I'm sick of people asking me if I really do hate my kids. They are just jokes. Annoying jokes that were draining the life out of me and making me broke. Everyone asked me if I have a favorite child. I don't. They are all equal to me. I don't care for any of them. I hate them all, given that Harriet and Calista set sail, running away as soon as they could, and Harry never returned home after that, leaving me alone to rot and do everything myself."

Azari chuckled. "I figured as much. So how about an offer? From a shadow demon god that could grant you all your wishes."

James shook his head, starting to sing. "Dear old friend, your offer is meaningless / I don't give a damn 'bout your rank / Whatever's in your sack, well, it isn't worth jack / I should make you fool go walk the plank / Your offer would fill other pirates with glee / But none of those pirates are me / They're not me / Sing a yo-ho, keep your powers divine / Yo-ho, and your manners refined / 'Cause even more precious than rum in a stein / Is revenge, revenge, revenge / And it's gonna be mine / Revenge, revenge, revenge is gonna be mine."

"Revenge?" Azari asked. "How predictable. But something I can work with."

James continued. "I've savaged and pillaged and pilfered each village / My conquests I'm justly proud of / I'm proud of / Each town that I plunder I leave torn asunder / A pirate's life is one to love / Lots to love / And yet my heart's hardened as hard as a rock / Won't rest till I've skinned me those crocs / Sing a yo-ho, you can beg, plead and whine / But yo-ho, you are wasting your time / Those kids got away, wanna tear out their spines / Revenge, revenge, revenge is gonna be mine / Revenge, revenge, revenge is gonna be mine / Once I sailed toward a horizon, where I might find happiness waiting / Until those kids destroyed my life and filled me with hate unabating / Some say let it go, but I say hell no / I'm finally on the right path / Soon my children will feel / They will feel the fire of this pirate's wrath / Feel the fire of my wrath."

"I love the dramatics, Hook, but I'll have to cut this a little short," Azari told him. "If you agree with me on my terms, I can help you get revenge on Harry, Harriet and CJ, and tearing them away from Izzy in the process so that Isa and I can somehow get her back, even if it takes a long time to do it."

James looked at him in surprise. "Bloody hell."

"Captain, if you come with me now, I can make you young again, give you the skills, the power you need to make your children pay for what they did, while you take them out of the equation where Izzy's concerned," Azari told him.

James nodded in agreement. "Aye, mate. You've got a deal. Let's have a drink. Then we've got a date with destiny."

James and Azari poured drinks, clinking their glasses together to sip them, both singing. "Sing a yo-ho, I'll slaughter the swine / Yo-ho, must be fate's design / At last our tales will again intertwine / Revenge, revenge, revenge is gonna be mine / Oh, it's gonna be / Oh, it's gonna be / Oh, it's gonna be mine / Oh, it's gonna be / Oh, it's gonna be / Oh, it's gonna be mine!"

James and Azari shattered their glasses, throwing the pieces down, raising their arms in the air victoriously.

-----

Main Water Mansion - River's Room

River was sitting in her room, which had a glass wall that allowed a full view of the ocean beyond. She looked out over the underwater around her entirely, smirking lightly.

Gaige knocked on the door. "River?"

River turned to face him. "Yeah? Oh, hi, Gaige. Come on in."

"Aren't you supposed to be meeting Izzy, Yeva, Mal, Malia, Evie, Ara, Mari, Uma and Celia at Tails?" Gaige asked.

"Yes," River answered. "But it's still early. I have time."

"What are you doing?" Gaige asked.

River shook her head, looking out to the water again. "Just looking at the ocean and thinking."

Gaige nodded, walking closer. "About what?"

"About fighting back against Azari, Isa and Yzma, actually," River answered.

Gaige raised his eyebrows. "That is not what I thought you were gonna say."

River smirked. "Oh, yeah? And what did you think I was gonna say?"

"I'm not sure," Gaige admitted. "Just not that."

River sat down on her bed. "Well, you've gotta admit, taking them down is the only thing on anybody's minds lately after everything they've done and everything they could still do."

Gaige nodded in agreement. "True. Just... yesterday was Yeva and Jay's wedding, and we still can't seem to get a moment to calm down and relax."

"Apparently not," River agreed. "We can relax once the trio's stopped."

"Yeah, I guess," Gaige agreed. 

River sighed. "Yeva and Celia were both able to stop Azari, Isa and Yzma when they had the voodoo wand or staff. Bane was able to hurt them with the Guardian scepter/wand/sword thing. Izzy even has power over them and she'll continue to gain power over them as she learns more about her shadow demon demigoddess side. Me, Uma, Ara, Mari, Mal and Malia, even we can easily hurt Isa and Yzma, and have a little power over Azari, even if not as much as the others. And Ben and Anthony, they've both gotten the jump over Azari before too. And you, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Harry and Gil could also take out the clones with ease, but that was just clones."

"Right," Gaige agreed. "I know that we can do better than this once we all have our weapons from the prism."

River nodded. "Yeah, and then they won't stand a chance."

Gaige smirked. "Nope. I know the trio seems giant right now, so all we have to do now is prove that we can be just as giant and badass. And we've already proved that a lot, River."

"I know," River told him. "I know, Gaige, but this is a lot different than what we're used to."

"It is," Gaige allowed. "But it's nothing that we won't be able to handle. You and me have been able to handle a lot, River. Along with everyone else in our group. I think as long as we think like the giants, that we can beat them in the end."

"You really think so?" River asked.

Gaige nodded. "I know so."

River smirked, nodding, doing a little mellow rock song. "Oh, oh, oh / Whoa, whoa, whoa / Oh, oh, oh / Whoa, whoa, whoa / Moving up from the bottom / My start was rough / I still got 'em / I'm bigger than this / Whoa / I'm bigger than this / Whoa."

Gaige nodded. "They'll hear my voice / Know I'm coming / They'll have no choice / They've got nothing as thick as my skin / Whoa, 'cause I'm bigger than this / Whoa / When I have the dream / I think of it late at night / I distant memory / A flicker in your eye / It finally came for me / I felt electrified / We can live the dream / We could be big / We gotta fly."

River stood, swaying slightly. "We gotta live like giants / We can never stop / We gotta stand up / We can't be silenced / Stand up." Gaige stood. "We live like giants / We gotta keep on climbing / We'll make it to the top / We gotta stand up / We can't be silenced / Stand up / We live like giants."

Gaige chuckled, shaking his head. "Stand my ground / Hold back nothing / They flex their power / We come running / We're bigger than them / Whoa / We're bigger than them / Whoa."

River smirked. "We will win / Use our power to draw them in / Looking down / 'Cause we're bigger than them / Whoa / We're bigger than them / Whoa / When I have the dream / I think of it late at night / I distant memory / A flicker in your eye / It finally came for me / I felt electrified / We can live the dream / We could be big / We gotta fly."

Gaige spun River around. "We gotta live like giants / We can never stop / We gotta stand up / We can't be silenced / Stand up / We live like giants / We gotta keep on climbing / We'll make it to the top / We gotta stand up / We can't be silenced / Stand up / We live like giants."

"Like giants," River sang.

"Like giants," Gaige echoed.

"Like giants," River repeated.

"Like giants," Gaige echoed.

Gaige and River sang together, spinning each other around. "When I have the dream / I think of it late at night / I distant memory / A flicker in your eye / It finally came for me / I felt electrified / We can live the dream / We could be big / We gotta fly / We gotta live like giants / We can never stop / We gotta stand up / We can't be silenced / Stand up / We live like giants / We gotta keep on climbing / We'll make it to the top / We gotta stand up / We can't be silenced / Stand up / We live like giants."

River and Gaige finished close, looking at each other intensely. Gaige nearly kissed her, but River slipped past him toward the door. They turned to face each other, smirking.

River chuckled. "I gotta go meet the girls. We'll be talking about all of this and keeping hopes up. I'll be back soon."

Gaige nodded. River turned to leave, but she reconsidered, turning back to give Gaige a quick but passionate kiss, leaving the room quickly. Gaige was startled, but at the same time not surprised by the teasing/taunting edge of their relationship, smirking in amusement, shaking his head, chuckling.

-----

Tails

Izzy, Yeva, Mal, Malia, Evie, Ara, Mari, Uma and Celia were all already here, waiting for River to get here.

"So Izzy, Carlos, Anthony, Ben, Bane, Yeva and Celia all already got their weapons," Uma told them. "Only ones needing their weapons now are Mal, Malia, Evie, Jay, Ara, Mari, River, Gaige, Harry, Gil and me."

"You guys will get your weapons soon, Uma, trust me," Mal told her. "If anyone could handle a weapon like these things, it's you, River, Gaige and Harry. And me, Malia and Evie. Ara and Mari are mostly restricted to bows and arrows."

Ara and Mari shrugged in agreement.

"I don't see anything wrong with bows and arrows as a weapon," Ara told them.

"Yeah, except for the fact that Ara and I don't have our bows from before," Mari pointed out. "Remember, Cruella destroyed our bows when she went to kill Ara."

"True," Malia agreed. "But that doesn't mean that you and Ara won't get  your weapons back somehow, Mari. Never really pictured Uma, River, Harry, Gaige and Gil with anything but pirate swords, though. Not sure what Evie or Jay would get either. Or me and Mal."

River walked in. "Talking about weapons and fighting the trio, are you?"

"Yeah," Izzy answered. "Where have you been?"

"I was with Gaige, talking about the same thing you guys were talking about," River answered.

"Anything else?" Yeva asked teasingly.

River gave her a sarcastic look, smirking.

Evie chuckled. "It's fine. Glad you could join us, River. Izzy got here late too because she was with Harry and his sisters at her mansion."

Celia looked up from where she was practicing with her tarot cards in surprise. "I'm sorry, did you say Harry and his sisters?"

"Yeah, he has two," Izzy answered. "Harriet and Calista Jane Hook, AKA CJ. Harry calls them Ettie and Cali, though, when he's not mad, but he is still mad at them right now."

Uma nodded. "Yeah, I figured he would be. Harry wasn't the same after Harriet and CJ left."

"Or after Isa made Izzy break Harry to save his life," River added.

"Okay, River, Uma, not the way to make Izzy feel better," Yeva told them, helping Celia with her cards.

Evie frowned in confusion. "Yeva? Celia? What are you two doing?"

"Dad was training with us earlier about the voodoo/hoodoo, to help us get everything in control, especially now that Yeva's stronger since she became the voodoo queen," Celia explained. "Helping her practice her telepathy and voodoo beams, while helping me with the shadow magic and the divination."

"Can somebody explain to me what exactly is divination?" River asked. "I never got that. Can any of you teachers from the magic school explain it to me?"

"Divination is basically a practice of fortune telling or seeking knowledge of the future or unknown by supernatural means," Mari answered. "It's like what tarot card readers to, some of them are faking it, but others like Celia are the real deal and can use their powers to enhance their ability to read the future."

"There are many different methods of divination that we can choose to use to our uses right now, especially trying to figure out how to go up against Azari, Isa and Yzma," Mal told them. "Some people try many different types like Celia, but some are more gifted in one method."

"Celia's obviously better than most given her voodoo heritage," Malia told them.

"Well, most of the time, for ones that don't have powers like Celia does, the cards are just a guideline, and the reader is just interpreting the probable outcomes based on the forces presently at work," Yeva explained. "Using the tarot as a tool for awareness or reflection, rather than fortune telling."

"Okay, Yeva, did you just memorize that from all your voodoo teachings at the magic school?" River asked in amusement.

Yeva smirked.

Celia was making a set of Celtic Ogham sticks that she could use to help her more.

"Celia?" Uma asked. "You need some help with that?"

"No, I got it," Celia answered.

Mari set out stones. "Here. Some Norse stones too."

"You need some tea leaves, too?" Evie asked teasingly.

"You know, that could actually help," Ara told them.

Evie shrugged. "I was teasing, but okay."

"I'll get some," Mal told them.

"There's a pendulum somewhere nearby, too," Malia told them.

Mal brought over tea leaves to Celia, while Malia brought over a pendulum.

"I think that's all," Izzy told them.

Celia was reading the runes, the sticks, the tea leaves, and swinging the pendulum for answers.

"Celia?" Yeva asked.

"There's like a feeling of darkness and wildness, like a wilderness," Celia explained. "It feels dangerous and a little scary like normal when the trio comes and does something. I think one of us in danger."

"Do you know who?" Uma asked.

Celia looked into the tea leaves, frowning in concern. "I see a hook."

They all exchanged a look, looking at Izzy.

Izzy realized who was in danger. "Hook? Harry. Harriet and CJ."

-----

Izzy and Harry's Mansion - Living Room

Harry was annoyed, arguing with his sisters. "We have spent all day together. I would like some time to process the fact that the two sisters who abandoned me are now trying to build a relationship again."

"Would you just listen to me?" Harriet asked in exasperation.

"No," Harry answered.

CJ looked between them. "Okay, you two always butt heads."

"At least I never picked a wrestling fight with either of you, like you two did with each other all the time, and I usually had to stop the fighting when one of you started biting," Harriet replied.

Harry shrugged, not caring. "Well..."

"My point is, but even though when you guys fight, Harry always looked up to you, Ettie," CJ told her. "And you never gave up on protecting him."

"Or you, Cali," Harriet told her.

Harry rolled his eyes. "Although neither of us can talk about our father, avoiding it whenever we could, since our views are quite different upon him, although Harriet never flat out speaks her thoughts about our father."

"Okay, fine, I'll admit that," Harriet told him. "You practically worshiped our father before you realized what a monster he was, while i had to hold myself back from punching him in the face every time I saw him, because I always knew who he really was, but neither of you did for years, because I was protecting you from it. From him."

"Okay, that's rich, considering that I took most of the rage from the old man whenever I could to save the two of you," Harry replied. "And I've always loathed how you're an inch taller than me. Or got to be a captain of your own crew."

"What does that have to do with anything?" Harriet asked.

"And I hate how you always treat me like a child," Harry told her.

"Then stop acting like one," Harriet replied.

"Okay, Ettie, not helping," CJ told her. "Come on, Harry. Tell us how you really feel."

"Fine," Harry said. "You know what? I'll admit this. It actually hurt me that you two left, because no matter what, you had always had my back and told me that you believed in me, unlike everyone else. You leaving was your way of finally giving up on me, wasn't it?" Harriet and CJ exchanged a look, sighing. "What?"

"It doesn't matter, Harry," Harriet told him. "We're still family."

"Family?" Harry repeated, scoffing. "What is family? Family's not supposed to leave. Family damn sure isn't supposed to leave you without a goodbye or explanation."

Isa and Yzma appeared through whirls of red/gold and purple/black smoke.

Isa smirked. "Hmm, looks like we're not the only ones with raging family issues, are we, Yzma?"

Yzma cackled insanely, making the three Hook siblings jump from the insanely loud cackling laugh. "Certainly not, Isa. And they're about to face more of their family drama."

Harriet and CJ were surprised. "Isa and Yzma?"

Harry rolled his eyes, annoyed and exasperated. "Bloody hell. For the love of God, couldn't you two just leave me and my sisters alone to hash this all out? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, we're just here to lengthen the Hook family drama, Harry, between you, Harriet, CJ, your father," Isa answered. "You three all have your own ties with my daughter Izzy. And it's time to cut those ties so you can't keep Izzy away from me and Azari anymore."

Harry, Harriet and CJ all exchanged a look, drawing their pirate swords, lunging forward with yells, but Isa and Yzma just smirked, waving their hands, using magic to throw the three of them back into the walls, making them hit their heads hard and fall to the floor unconscious.

Yzma laughed crazily. "That was almost too easy."

"Well, it won't be later on, trust me," Isa told her. "Let's just grab them and go. Izzy will be home soon, and we don't want her to stop us before we get to where we need to go."

Yzma smirked. "Or Yeva for that matter."

Isa and Yzma exchanged a smug look and smirk, using magic to disappear with the three unconscious Hook siblings, turning into their colored smoke, disappearing with Harry, Harriet and CJ.

-----

Later

Jay, Carlos, Ben, Anthony, Gaige and Gil ran into the mansion.

Gaige called out. "Harry? Harriet? CJ? Hooks?"

"Did Izzy really set up a reunion between Harry with Harriet and CJ Hook?" Gil asked.

"Apparently," Carlos answered. "Not that that is the important thing right now, because the trio took off with them."

"Why would the trio want to take off with Harry, Harriet and CJ?" Ben asked. "I mean, I don't get why they would go after the Hooks."

"Maybe because Isa has a grudge against Harry and both Isa and Azari want him to stop being an anchor for Izzy so she doesn't fall to their wishes," Anthony answered. "And now they're taking it out on Harriet and CJ Hook too."

"Look, we gotta meet up with Bane and the girls back at the Tower," Jay told them. "Celia's power let us know that the trio was going after Harry, Harriet and CJ. Maybe her powers can help us find out what they're gonna do to the Hooks next."

-----

The Tower - Control Room

Jay, Carlos, Anthony, Ben, Gaige and Gil ran inside to join Bane and the girls.

"Hey," Izzy told them worriedly. "Thank you for looking through the mansion. You guys were closer to my place than we were."

"It's okay," Gil told her. "Izzy, don't worry. We'll find Harry, Harriet and CJ and get the Hooks back."

"I just can't believe that today, it's Harry, Harriet and CJ they're after," Carlos told them. "The Hooks."

"Yeah, they're going through each member of our group," Yeva agreed. "Guess it was just Harry, Harriet and CJ's turn. But we're gonna get the Hooks back."

"So do you know anything else?" Mal asked.

"No," Malia answered. "Nothing else."

"All right, how long has it been since they took the Hooks, Harry, Harriet and CJ?" Uma asked.

"Not long," Gaige answered. "We could still feel the tension in the air from magic when we got there, meaning that they must have just taken Harry, Harriet and CJ from the mansion. They took the Hooks."

"Okay, each time the trio targets someone in our group like this, of the VKs anyway, they always use a younger version of our parents, right?" River asked. "So that's gotta mean that Azari, Isa and Yzma recruited Captain Hook, who would want to basically kill Harry, Harriet and CJ."

Izzy sighed worriedly in horror, shaking her head in denial. "You don't think they killed Harry, Harriet and CJ, do you? If they killed the Hooks--"

"I..." Yeva trailed off, taking a deep breath. "I don't know."

"No, you know what?" Mal asked. "We're not losing hope. We're not losing Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook. We're gonna figure this out."

"Izzy, we're gonna save Harry, Harriet and CJ," Malia told her. "We're gonna stop your parents and Yeva's mother and Captain Hook."

"Yes, we are," Evie agreed. "We just have to figure out how to find Harry, Harriet and CJ, and to stop the trio and Captain Hook."

"Is anybody else seeing how ridiculously weird our lives have gotten?" Jay asked.

"Gotten?" Carlos repeated. "Our lives have always been ridiculously weird. What are you talking about?"

"Carlos, Jay, not the point," Anthony told them.

"Guys, focus," Ben told them.

"Celia, you knew that the trio was going after Harry, Harriet and CJ before anyone else," Ara told her. "You felt it, and you could read it in the stones, the sticks and the cards, and even the tea leaves. What do you feel now about the Hooks?"

"Nothing," Celia answered. "I feel like I can do this. But I don't know what to do. I don't know how to find Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook."

Mari sat with Celia. "I think I know how to help you. Close your eyes." Celia did. "Focus all your energy into reading what you see, not into trying to see anything into the future, okay? You just have to think of Harry, Harriet and CJ. Not the trio, not Captain Hook."

Celia nodded. 

"Just breathe," Bane told her. "Inhale and exhale. You can focus, train your mind to see what we need to see."

Celia sighed, hesitating, looking more over the sticks, the rune stones, and the tarot cards, along with the tea leaves, focusing all of her energy on figuring this out.

"How long do you think this is gonna take?" Uma asked.

"Show a little patience, can you?" Bane asked.

"We don't have time," River replied. "We have no idea what the trio or Captain Hook will do to Harry, Harriet and CJ."

"Uma, River, they're gonna be fine," Ara told them. "I promise, Izzy."

Gaige sighed. "Fat load of good a promise does if we can't see it through."

"You're not helping, Gaige," Mari told him.

Celia was trying to use her powers, seeming to see something.

Gil noticed first. "Guys. Wait. I think Celia's onto something."

"Does anybody have a piece of paper?" Celia asked.

"Yeah," Evie answered, grabbing a piece of paper and pen, giving them to Celia. "Why? What are you doing?"

"I saw a design in the tea leaves that kinda looks like a location," Celia answered. "But I have no idea what it is, but you guys might."

Celia showed them her drawing. Uma, River, Gaige and Gil exchanged a look, sighing.

"What?" Jay asked. "What is it?"

"Harry, Harriet and CJ used to show us drawings of that when we were kids, and maps from Captain Hook's adventures... to Neverland," Gil answered.

"Wait, you're saying that this is..." Carlos trailed off.

"Neverland?" Gaige finished. "Yeah, it looks like."

"Oh, great," Anthony told them sarcastically.

They heard a bang from outside.

"What is that?" Ben asked.

"Come on," Bane told them.

They all ran outside.

-----

Night - The Tower - Outside

The sun was setting into nightfall.

The group ran outside, seeing that James's ship was starting to fly away due to the fact that Chernabog!Azari was carrying the ship on his back as he was flying.

"Oh, you've gotta be kidding me," Izzy complained in anger.

"What do we do?" Celia asked.

"Try to stop them from getting to Neverland," Evie answered.

"River's and my ship is at the dock nearby," Uma told them. "Come on, let's go!"

They all ran to get to the ship.

"Harry, Harriet and CJ have got to be on Hook's ship with the trio and their father," Jay told them.

"So how do we get them back?" Carlos asked.

"Okay, what do we do?" Evie asked.

"Well, we don't stay here," Anthony answered. "We gotta follow them."

"Yeah, come on," Ben agreed.

"Mal, Malia, do you think you can distract the trio and the captain from getting to the second star long enough for us to get up there?" Ara asked.

"Yeah, I think so," Mal answered.

Malia nodded. "I know so."

Mal and Malia let their eyes glow green and a purple smoke to cover them completely as they transformed into their dragon selves, flying up fast after the Jolly Roger in the sky being carried along by Chernabog!Azari.

The others ran onto Uma and River's ship, The Lost Revenge.

"Yeva, Izzy, Uma, River, Ara, Mari and Bane got a spell to fly this thing?" Gil asked.

Izzy nodded. "I do. Gaige, Gil, man the sails." Gaige and Gil ran to do as told. Izzy turned to the girls and Bane. "Repeat after me. To get to the second star to the right in the sky, give this ship the ability to fly."

Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Celia and Bane repeated the spell. "To get to the second star to the right in the sky, give this ship the ability to fly."

With their combined power, the spell worked, as the ship started to come off the ocean.

Dragon!Mal and Dragon!Malia were chasing the Jolly Roger and Chernabog!Azari through the sky, trying to buy the others enough time to catch up.

Harry, Harriet and CJ were waking up on the Jolly Roger, tied up, being thrown around slightly because of the high speed chase through the air on the back of Chernabog!Azari. They saw that Young James was captaining the ship, while Isa and Yzma were hanging on for dear life on the edges of the ship.

Harry sighed in absolute exasperation. "Oh, bloody hell."

Harriet looked down at her hand and Harry's. "Our hooks are gone."

"We'll find them," CJ told them. "We have to get off this ship. We'll have to jump."

"We can't," Harriet told her.

"We have to," CJ replied.

"On three," Harry told them.

Harriet scoffed. "Harry, CJ, you two are the crazy ones out of the three of us. Fine. One, two..."

Harry, Harriet and CJ backed away from the railing of the ship, trying to jump off, but Yzma and Isa saw what they were doing, using magic to pull them back onto the ship before they could jump over board, pulling them back forcefully to the ground, making them hit the wooden floor of the ship hard, making them groan in pain.

CJ groaned. "Well, that didn't work."

"I told you," Harriet told them.

Harry rolled his eyes. "Shut up."

Isa and Yzma saw Dragon!Mal and Dragon!Malia flying closer, ducking before they could be burned with dragon fire. "Incoming!"

Dragon!Mal and Dragon!Malia hurled fire all over the ship to try and stop the trio and James, but they nearly ended up burning the three Hook siblings in the process. The three siblings ducked into safety.

CJ made a face of exasperation. "Oh, come on!"

"Hey, we're on your side, dragons!" Harry complained.

"You wanna barbecue them, have at it, but leave us off the menu," Harriet told them.

Chernabog!Azari tried to avoid Dragon!Mal and Dragon!Malia, swerving through the sky while carrying the Jolly Roger to make it fly, making it a very bumpy ride for Isa, Yzma and the Hook family on board.

The Lost Revenge was starting to sail more smoothly through the sky due to the group's spell, as it got closer and closer to the Jolly Roger, Chernabog!Azari, and the dragon sisters.

On the Lost Revenge, Bane, Celia, Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma and River were trying to use magic to help Dragon!Mal and Dragon!Malia bring the Jolly Roger to a stop, but Isa and Yzma were able to use their magic to deflect and protect the ship and themselves, while not caring about the safety of Harry, Harriet and CJ, while Chernabog!Azari was focused on avoiding the magic to carry the ship toward the second star.

The jostling of the ship threw Harry overboard on accident, as he used his tied hands to try and catch onto the ship.

Harriet and CJ reached out with their tied hands to catch Harry's to save him from falling. "Harry!"

A blast of fire from the dragon sisters set the side of the ship on fire, which was very close to where Harry was dangling off the side with Harriet and CJ being the only ones keeping him up.

Harry struggled to be safe from the fire, trying to blow it out, but not able to, turning to his sisters up above. "Pull me up!"

"We're trying!" Harriet told him.

Another jostle and swift turn from the ship threw Harry back up, right into his sisters, and making all three of them fall to the floor of the ship.

"The landing could've been a little better," Harry told them.

"Yeah, you're welcome," CJ told him sarcastically.

Harry just looked at them, breathing heavily. "You saved me."

"You're our brother," Harriet told him. "You're not gonna die on us, or I'm gonna kill you."

Harry, Harriet and CJ stayed low, taking cover while the fire/magic fight continued.

James was laughing at the thrill, getting the attention of his children.

"Is that... Dad?" CJ asked. "He looks so..."

"Young?" Harry finished. "Yeah, Azari has a thing of turning the villain parents younger again so they can stand a chance against us. Like he did with Isa and Yzma."

Carlos was trying to use his power on Chernabog!Azari, but there was too much of a distance between them for his power to control animals to work.

"Carlos?" Ara asked worriedly.

Carlos shook his head. "I can't. He's too far away. Maybe if we got closer..."

"We're as close as we can get because he keeps taking off," Jay told them.

Evie was hanging onto a rope tightly. "Hang on tight!"

On the Jolly Roger, James smiled wickedly. "Going up!"

Chernabog!Azari flew the ship straight up toward the second star, causing Harry, Harriet, CJ, Isa, Yzma and James to be pinned to the floor of the ship, making them yell, while Isa, Yzma and James were yelling happily at the adrenaline rush.

Dragon!Mal and Dragon!Malia, along with the Lost Revenge, followed the Jolly Roger right up higher in the sky, causing the rest of the group on the Lost Revenge to be weighed down like the ones on the Jolly Roger.

Chernabog!Azari was able to release a blast of shadow energy magic at Dragon!Mal and Dragon!Malia, injuring them enough to where they started to fall fast toward the ground below.

Evie, Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma and River called out worriedly for them, but couldn't help them. "Mal! Malia!"

Next, Isa and Yzma shot enough power into the Lost Revenge to make it turn sideways, causing everyone to scream and hold on for dear life. Izzy, Yeva, Uma, River, Gaige, Gil, Ara and Mari were able to hold onto the ship ropes, but Evie, Jay, Carlos, Ben, Anthony, Bane and Celia were forced to fall off the ship down toward Dragon!Mal and Dragon!Malia, while Izzy, Yeva, Uma, River, Gaige, Gil, Ara and Mari were left calling out worriedly in horror for their friends, family or lovers.

Dragon!Mal and Dragon!Malia were recovering enough to where they could fly up and catch the others  that were falling on their backs or in there hands, who all held on for dear life. Evie, Jay, Carlos and Celia were hanging onto Dragon!Mal, while Ben, Anthony and Bane were hanging onto Dragon!Malia, but the two dragon sisters were still injured enough to where they were being weighed down and pulled down toward the ocean, and knowing that they would all have a better chance of surviving if they weren't in dragon form, so in a swirl of purple smoke, Mal and Malia returned to human form, and they, along with Evie, Jay, Carlos, Ben, Anthony, Bane and Celia, all landed in the ocean with a big splash.

Chernabog!Azari flew the Jolly Roger through the second star, now flying a lot more calmly and easily now that the chase was mostly over. The Lost Revenge flew up through the second star as well. The passengers on both ships were floating a little, but they remained tethered to their ships. Their ships fell down quickly through the sky, then slowly when they reached the ocean down below, sailing toward a land that was called Neverland.

Izzy looked at the island. "Is that it?"

"Yeah," Gaige answered. "Neverland."

Izzy looked at the island in determination and anger to stop her parents and get Harry and his sisters back.

-----

Island

Azari was now in human form, standing with Isa and Yzma outside the Jolly Roger, alongside James.

Harry, Harriet and CJ were on the ship still, still tied up, trying to run. Azari, Isa and Yzma used magic to stop them.

James smirked. "No, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. Slow down, kids. You got nowhere to go. You should've known that this day would come after what you three did to me."

Harry, Harriet and CJ glared at their father.

"Pales in comparison to what you've done to us our whole lives, old man," Harriet replied. "Where is my hook, and Harry's?"

James held up the two hooks. "Right here, so you two can't use them to cut yourselves free. Got all three of your swords, too, so don't be getting any ideas."

Azari smirked. "Hmm." He looked at Isa, Yzma and James. "We three need to talk."

The four villain parents walked away. Harry, Harriet and CJ glared after them.

Isa smiled smugly. "We made it. Mission accomplished."

The three Hook siblings could still hear them.

"Are you sure about that?" CJ asked mockingly. "'Cause our friends are coming to get us. All of them."

"Not all of them," Yzma told them. "Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil, maybe, but Mal, Malia, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Ben, Anthony, Bane and  Celia no, because they got shot down before they could follow and help."

"And you might want to take a look around, children," James told them. "We're not in Auradon anymore."

"It doesn't matter," Harry replied. "We know that we're in Neverland, and that means that Uma, River, Gaige and Gil will know, too, so they, Izzy, Yeva, Ara and Mari can still save us."

"Harry and his friends have been able to stop people like you before, and they'll do it again," Harriet told them.

"Why the hell would you even take us here to Neverland?" CJ asked. "What does that accomplish?"

"It allows us to separate the little group of friends," Azari answered. "Isa and I can speak to Izzy."

"I can speak to Yeva, try to deal with my daughter on my own," Yzma mused, smirking evilly, tapping her fingers together maniacally.

"It's the mother lode of magic," Isa told them. "Azari and I can finally separate you, Harry Hook, from Izzy, and we can finally have her to ourselves."

Harry rolled his eyes, completely fed up with this. "If you need to separate me from Isabella, then you don't have her at all. Believe me, you never did."

Isa glared at Harry furiously, using magic to cause him pain. "Watch your tongue, boy. Lest you want me to remove your head."

Azari smirked in amusement, gently taking Isa's arm, lowering it to get her to stop. "Easy, Isa. We still need Harry to get Izzy to come to us."

"And you promised to leave my children to me," James reminded them.

Isa sighed, giving in. "Fine. I'm sorry. He just makes me so angry."

Harry chuckled. "It's something that I actually enjoy doing."

"Harry," Harriet hissed to shut him up.

"So you guys are taking turns in who gets to punish who?" CJ asked. "Or are you guys just masochists who like to torture your own children?"

Yzma raised her voice to the insanely loud volume that made the three teens jump. "That's not your concern! Just know that we take care of our own and that we always get what we want."

"Do you?" CJ asked sarcastically. "Because seems lately, it seems that Harry, Izzy and friends get the victory over you guys each and every time."

"Not every time," Azari told them.

"CJ, shut it," Harriet told her.

"That is very good advice for all of you children," James threatened. "Don't ask questions. Otherwise I'm going to hurt you ahead of schedule and ruin everything."

Harry smirked sarcastically, tilting his head, looking up at the sky in boredom, clicking his tongue. "You already ruined your own damn lives anyway and ours while you were at it."

Harriet elbowed both Harry and CJ to get them to stop mocking the parents so that they didn't get hurt again because of it, forcing herself to smile. "You guys go ahead and go along and talk about your own evil plans while I talk sense into my two idiot siblings Harry and CJ. Bye-bye."

Auradon

Main Water Mansion - Living Room

Having just gotten out of the ocean, Mal, Malia, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Ben, Anthony, Bane and Celia were trying to dry off while coming up with a plan.

"Is everybody okay?" Mal asked.

"Not so much," Malia answered.

"Mal, Malia, thank you," Evie told them. "I mean, you saved all of us when we were shot off of Uma and River's ship. Just wish that we knew what happened to Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Gaige, Gil, Uma and River, and Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook."

"No kidding," Jay agreed. "The day after my wedding, I'm not supposed to be separated from my wife like this, okay? I have got to know that Yeva is fine, and Izzy. Even though Gaige and Harry piss me off, we all need to know that they, Gil, Uma, River, Ara and Mari are okay too. And Harriet and CJ Hook."

"Yeah," Carlos agreed sadly, worriedly. "I can't believe that we all got knocked off like that. Is there any way that we could follow Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil to save Harry, Harriet and CJ, and the trio and Captain Hook?"

"I don't know," Ben admitted. "I mean, we didn't even see where the ships went through. We all know about the second star to the right, but we don't know how we could get through or what to do once we did."

"Well, whatever the case, we can't give up," Anthony told them. "Harry's out there Harriet and CJ, and we all know that Azari, Isa and Yzma only brought Captain Hook into it so they can lure Izzy and Yeva into their trap. Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil are along for the ride and they could get hurt in the process."

Bane nodded worriedly in agreement. "Yeah. I can't believe this. I'm the Guardian and I couldn't even stay on the ship to go with them to help save the day. Yeva may be the voodoo queen now, but she needs help, and Izzy... if she's not careful, she could lose control because of her worry for Harry, Harriet and CJ, and she could hurt Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil without meaning to. And the trio, and Captain Hook..."

"So what are we supposed to do?" Celia asked.

Evie pointed at Celia. "Actually, we should be asking you that."

"Me?" Celia repeated.

"Yeah, you," Malia answered. "Celia, your power figured out that the trio and Hook were gonna go after Harry, Harriet and CJ in the first place, and you helped us figure out the location that they were going, before we got separated from Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil."

Jay walked closer, sitting beside her. "Evie and Malia are right, Celia. You've got us this far. Maybe you can at least tell us if they're okay, even if we can't reach there."

Celia sighed, looking between them worriedly.

"Okay, how does she do it?" Carlos asked.

"Celia can just focus on Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil so that we can see if they can get to Harry, Harriet and CJ, and see if they can all get home safely, away from the trio and Hook," Mal answered.

"Okay, guys, maybe we should take it a little easy on Celia, okay?" Ben asked. "We're all worried, but we can't put that much pressure on her, or we're not gonna be able to make sure that Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil are safe from the trio and Hook, or Harry, Harriet and CJ for that matter."

"Ben's right," Anthony told them. "Celia, you can relax, don't push yourself too hard. We can't put all that pressure on you."

Bane walked closer, sitting with Celia. "I know you think that you can't do it alone, but maybe we can do it together. Okay?"

Celia nodded nervously. "Okay."

The Lost Revenge

Gaige was manning the helm, slowing the ship.

River was stretching, psyching herself up, leaning over to the side with her arm over her head, stopping when she saw Gaige watching.

Gaige smirked. "Oh, don't stop on my account."

"Wouldn't think of it," River replied sarcastically, standing up right.

Gaige looked at her curiously. "What are you doing?"

"Getting ready for a fight if we have to," River answered.

Gaige chuckled. "River, you've never needed to get ready for a fight. That's just a natural state."

"Why are you slowing down?" Izzy asked. "In case you didn't know, my boyfriend and his sisters's lives are in danger."

"Oh, we know, hot headed princess," Uma told her.

"Well, what's the plan?" Yeva asked.

River sighed. "The plan is to bring us to the far side of the island. Link up with the wildest part of the river and then we sail right through, take them by surprise."

"How do you guys know so much about this?" Ara asked.

"Pirate tails," Gil answered. "Plus, Captain Hook, on his drunken nights, would tell Harry, Harriet and CJ all about his Neverland adventures, and they told me, Gaige, Uma and River."

Izzy was pacing, angry and frustrated, trying to remain calm.

Uma looked at her in concern. "Izzy. What happened to Harry, Harriet and CJ? It's not your fault. You can't blame yourself."

"And you can't let it give the madness or hallucinations a chance to take control again," River agreed. "You can fight this, still, Izzy."

"We beat villains before, and we can do it again," Gaige told them.

"Even if we don't have most of the group with us," Gil agreed.

"Yeah," Mari agreed. "Without Mal, Malia, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Ben, Anthony, Bane and Celia, and us going to save Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook, we're at a severe disadvantage."

"True, but I believe that we can still succeed and save Harry, Harriet and CJ from Captain Hook and get back home safely," Ara told them.

"How can you guys be so optimistic?" Izzy asked. "My parents are bent on driving me mad and turning me evil like them, and they're bringing all of the other parents into the mix to try and take the rest of you out so we can't stop my father. And with me losing control and seeing things and getting more and more mad with each hallucination..."

"Because some of us have got to keep optimistic so everyone else doesn't lose hope," Yeva answered.

"I mean, sure," Uma told them. "Our lives have... well, they've sucked. But..."

"Okay, that's not helping, Uma," Mari told her. "But I think I know what you and Yeva and River are trying to say. The minute we let go of the belief that things will get better is the minute that we know they won't."

"We will find Harry, Harriet and CJ," River told them. "We're in Neverland. Where magic and imagination run wild. We have to start thinking like that so that we can get them back and stop the trio and Captain Hook."

"Yeah?" Gaige asked. "And how do you suggest we do that, River?"

River smirked, starting a song. "Whenever I was frightened / Or if I ever felt alone / I turned to the night sky / And a star I call my own."

Uma chuckled, shaking her head. "Somewhere I could run to / Just across the Milky Way / If you like, I could take you / It's just a lightyear and a day."

Gaige continued to sail the ship. "We can sail away tonight on a sea of pure moonlight / We can navigate the stars to bring us back home / In a place so far away / We'll be young, that's how we'll stay / Every wish is our command / When we find ourselves in Never, Neverland."

Gil did a few steps across the ship. "Through all my make believe / There's some reality / In your reflection / There's much more than you can see."

Uma held out her hands. "All that you hope for / You hope for today / It's the love someone gives you / In an unconditional way."

River stepped by Izzy, Yeva, Ara and Mari in turn, trying to cheer them up and get them into the song. "We can sail away tonight on a sea of pure moonlight / We can navigate the stars to bring us back home / In a place so far away / We'll be young, that's how we'll stay / Every wish is our command / When we find ourselves in Never, Neverland."

Uma and Gil sang together. "Picture a land you'll never have seen / Where life is eternal and ever green / Future of happiness all in your hands / All in this place we created that we call Neverland."

River and Gaige sang together. ""We can sail away tonight on a sea of pure moonlight / We can navigate the stars to bring us back home / In a place so far away / We'll be young, that's how we'll stay / And with your hand in my hand / I am closer now to finding Neverland / And with your hand in my hand / I am closer now to finding Neverland."

Everyone seemed a little more at ease and more determined and focused, even Izzy after the song, until the ship was attacked by oceanic creatures down below. Gaige struggled to control the ship.

"Gaige, what are you doing?" Yeva asked.

"Trying to keep it steady," Gaige answered.

"Hold on!" Gil told them.

Uma and River looked over the edge of the ship, looking down below, in shock, worried.

"Guys, we're in trouble," Uma told them.

"Be more specific," Ara told her.

"If you've got a weapon, then grab it," Uma told them.

"What's out there?" Mari asked. "Sharks? Whales?"

"Worse," River answered. "Sirens."

A group of sirens swam toward the Lost Revenge. Everyone was trying to keep the boat steady.

"Sirens?" Yeva asked incredulously.

"Yeah," Gil answered. "They look like monsters, if you ask me."

"You think?" Izzy asked.

"If lore's right, sirens are natural enemies to mermaids like me and Mari," Ara told them.

"They came here because they heard Uma, River, Gaige and Gil singing," Mari told them.

One of the sirens submerged from the water, hitting the boat.

"I'll try to outrun them," Gaige told them.

"How many of them are there?" Yeva asked.

Several sirens bashed into the Lost Revenge.

"Too many," Ara answered.

"We did not come all the way out here to be stopped by monstrous fishes," Izzy told them in frustration. Ara and Mari looked at Izzy. "Oh, Ara, you know I didn't mean you and Mari."

Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma and River were using magic to try and stop the sirens from attacking the ship.

Gil was using a net to catch a siren. "Caught one."

"One?" Mari repeated. "There are dozens of them."

Izzy rolled her eyes. "Enough of this."

The girls continued to use magic to try and get rid of the sirens.

"It's not working," Uma told them.

A storm began to surround the ship. Lightning and thunder started.

"What the hell?" Yeva asked.

"It's a storm," Ara answered. "Sirens can call them."

"Hold on," Mari told them. "Gaige, turn us around."

Gaige turned the ship around.

"Uma, River, Gaige, Harry and I are used to sailing on a dock in the Isle, not for real like this," Gil told them.

The ship lost balance. Everyone was caught off guard.

"Gaige, keep your grip," Ara told him.

Gaige struggled to control the ship. "It wasn't me, Ara. It was the ship. We're taking on water."

They all turned around to see a huge wave forming in the distance.

Yeva was worried. "No!"

"What the hell do we do?" Izzy asked.

The ship ascended the wave, and everyone grabbed a rope. Water soaked the ship and everyone on it.

"Gaige, can't you outrun a damn storm?" Uma asked.

"This isn't just a storm, thank you very much," Gaige replied.

Ara and Mari saw that the sirens were coming back to the ship.

Mari got an idea. "I know what I have to do. What we have to do."

"What are you talking about?" River asked.

Mari took off her mermaid necklace, handing it to Gil, diving into the ocean to turn into her mermaid form to fight off with the sirens.

Ara, Izzy, Uma and River ran to the edge of the ship worriedly. "Mari!"

Ara took off her mermaid ring, handing it to Gil, diving into the ocean to turn into her mermaid form to help Mari fight off with the sirens.

Izzy, Uma and River became exasperated with worry. "Ara!"

Everyone looked down in shock and worry, knowing that the sirens were going after Ara and Mari, and now that they went into the water, the sirens would try to kill them.

"Izzy, Yeva, Uma and River can get Ara and Mari up here, right, Gaige?" Gil asked.

Izzy shook her head. "We can't. Not in this storm. I can't even see them. We'll just bring up water and half their tails."

While underwater, Ara and Mari were using their mermaid power to push the sirens away from them. The sirens used their talons to scratch and claw Ara and Mari, trying to kill them, but Ara and Mari used their power to break free.

"Uma, River, they need help," Yeva told them worriedly. "Ara and Mari could die without your help."

Uma and River nodded in agreement, stepping up onto the ship railing, jumping into the ocean, using their power to transform into their octopus forms, to help Ara and Mari fight off with the sirens, using their tentacles to help free Ara and Mari, all four using magic to protect themselves and fight back, able to make them leave, saving themselves and each other by working together like this. Uma and River used their tentacles to grab the weakened Ara and Mari to lift them up and put them on the ship, turning back to human form within cyclones of water, so that Izzy, Yeva and Gaige could help them back onto the ship. Gil put Ara's mermaid ring and Mari's mermaid necklace back onto them so that they could return to human form in a shimmer of twinkling lights.

Mari sighed heavily in relief. "We did it."

Everyone was breathing heavily in relief, trying to calm down.

"Ara?" Gil asked. "Mari? You guys okay now that Uma and River helped save you?"

"Yeah," Ara answered. "Oh, we're okay."

"We're fine," Mari agreed. "Thanks."

Now that the sirens were gone, the storm cleared.

Izzy, Uma and River hit Ara and Mari on the shoulders.

"Don't scare us like that," Uma told them.

"I know that both of you are warrior queens, but still, you have got to let us know before you try to do something like that again," River told them.

"Seriously," Izzy told them.

Ara and Mari nodded in agreement.

"Okay," Ara sighed.

Mari smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

Yeva, Gaige and Gil chuckled in amusement and relief, smiling slightly.

-----

Jolly Roger

Harriet, Harry and CJ were still tied down, trying to get free.

"We getting s'mores anytime soon?" CJ asked sarcastically. "Always wanted to have s'mores in Neverland."

"Harry, Cali, can you two stop mocking this situation for one second before they actually try to kill us?" Harriet asked.

Harry sighed in annoyance. "They're not gonna kill us. We're bait to lure Izzy to Azari and Isa, and Yeva to Yzma."

"Yeah, and after that, what do you think's gonna happen?" Harriet replied. "Dad is gonna kill us. He was once a respected pirate captain, but now he's just a bait and tackle stand over, no more than a drunkard that can't even survive without us, and that's why us leaving him was the biggest betrayal and why he wants to punish us."

"I don't know why he's being like this so much," CJ admitted. "I mean, he didn't lose everything when we left him. He still had his crew."

"There's only one reason why his crew was still loyal," Harriet told them. "Where else were they to turn? He is going to kill us once Azari, Isa and Yzma get what they want with Izzy and Yeva."

"Well, if it's a fight that our father wants, it's a fight he's going to get," Harry told them. "And I'm fighting him alone."

CJ gave him a look. "Harry."

"Harry's right, CJ," Harriet told her. "You stay here."

"I'm talking to both of you," Harry told them.

Harriet and CJ both looked at him in surprise. "But..."

Harry gave them both a stern look. "Harriet. Calista. I'll fight him on my own."

CJ let out a huff, sitting down. "You're doing this for us again. You're saving us again, just like you always did. And you both got to know the real versions of each other, but you both had to put on a mask for me. You had to be strong... for me. I was just a burden to you. The cause of your suffering and devastation. The only reason you ever subjected yourselves to our father's evil ways, because of me. Why do you think I left, Harry? If I didn't leave, then you would've died because of our father long time ago. And it would've been all my fault. I couldn't have that on my head. I couldn't. I didn't know how to make you see that you didn't have to continue to take his wrath for me. I didn't know how to make you see me as anything other than a hopeless reminder of your pain. I knew that if I left, that it would devastate you, and it's because Harriet and I left that your mind got so bad, but if we stayed, it would be the death of you, or of Ettie."

Harry was absolutely stunned silent by the confession for a moment, taking a minute to regain his voice. "Cali, you were never a burden. And you were never a reminder of pain."

"Harry, we didn't leave because we gave up on you," Harriet told him. "We left to save you. And I know it made you angry, and it hurt you, and it made you a little mad... but it was better than seeing you dead. Leaving you was the hardest thing Cali and I've ever done."

Harry processed this all, forcing a smile, looking down. "Hmm."

"What?" Harriet asked.

"So my sisters Ettie and Cali left me to save me from our father, and the one I loved, Izzy, broke me before because otherwise, her mother would have killed me," Harry answered. "Why does it turn out that the girls I care about most left me to save me, unintentionally making me a little insane?"

The three smiled small, sad smiles, emotional.

"I'm not a pirate like you two," CJ told them. "Not really. I would never be able to be like either of you. Harriet, you're a captain of your own crew. And Harry's first mate to Uma like Gaige is first mate to River. I'll never be as strong as either of you. I never had any hope of making Father proud."

"To be fair, none of us did, Cali," Harriet told her. "And we're all here now. We're good." She looked at Harry. "We're good, right?"

"You two think that you can get away with telling me this only because you think we're about to die?" Harry asked. "You've got another thing coming. But we'll be able to talk about it after we get the hell out of here and back home. And then I'll decide if we're good or not."

Harriet and CJ smiled a little more.

"But what about tonight?" Harriet asked. "Harry, are you really gonna fight our father to the death?"

Harry shrugged. "It's better than letting him kill you two, and letting Azari and Isa get to Izzy and Yzma get to Yeva, while tormenting everyone else."

James walked onto the ship, aiming a sword at the three of them. "Up you go. You're all coming with me. We got a big journey ahead of all of us, so we better get to moving. Now!"

Harry, Harriet and CJ glared at James, but were forced to get him and go.

Beach

 f,

-----

Forest

Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil were making their way along.

"That ridge is just a few hundred paces up ahead," River told them.

"You really think we're gonna be able to see them?" Gil asked.

 "From there?" Uma asked. "We should be able to see everything. Including where Hook is keeping Harry, Harriet and CJ."

Izzy sighed in frustration. "We could be there in an instant if I could just learn how the trio does the smoke flying thing."

"Yeah?" Yeva asked. "Have you any idea what's up there? Or anywhere?"

"There could be dangers all around," Ara pointed out. "We have no idea what's out there."

Izzy was losing patience.

"Izzy?" River asked. "You okay?"

"Uma's right, River," Izzy told her. "Harry, Harriet and CJ are out there somewhere, under threat because of my parents and Yeva's mom and their own father Hook."

"And we have to survive if we're going to get to them," Uma told them.

"I know," Gil agreed. "I just hope we're not too late."

"There's one thing we've learned," Mari told them. "It is never too late."

Gaige sighed. "There's a speech I knew that either you or Ara would give, Mari."

Izzy trailed behind when she heard something, being the only one that could hear it, frowning in confusion. "Guys, do you hear that?" The others didn't hear her, walking on. Izzy was about to follow them when she heard the noise again, watching the others go, walking off on her own without telling them to go follow the sound. "You can stop making that annoying sound. I know that you two are creating it to lure me to you. Why am I the only one that can seem to hear it?"

Azari and Isa stepped out from behind trees.

"Well, that's easy, Izzy," Isa told her. "Only shadow demons like yourself and your father can hear that sound."

Upon seeing her parents, Izzy instantly used her red/gold/black energy beam magic to push Azari and Isa into the trees behind them, magically binding them with tree vines and leaves. "Where the hell are Harry, Harriet and CJ?'

Azari smiled. "Oh, she certainly has your fire, Isa."

"And from you," Isa replied.

"Where are they?" Izzy repeated forcefully.

"Harry Hook and Harriet and CJ are still alive, if that's what you're wondering," Azari told her.

"I know that you have issues with Harry because you thought he took me away from the path that you wanted me to be on to become you, Isa, but you have nothing against Harriet and CJ, so why the hell did you and Yzma and Captain Hook take any of them?" Izzy asked.

"It's the easiest way to get you to talk to us willingly, Izzy, and for Yeva to talk to Yzma willingly," Azari answered.

"So you put Captain Hook in a position to kill his own kids, my boyfriend and my friends from childhood?" Izzy asked incredulously. "If you actually wanted me to choose you two and to become part of your so-called family and team, you wouldn't be targeting the ones that I love, including Harry, Harriet and CJ."

Azari broke free from the vines and leaves that Izzy had used to trap him, also destroying the ones binding Isa in the process.

Isa smirked. "One way or another, you'll find that our methods are indeed mad, but effective, because you know that you'll eventually fall prey to our side."

Izzy shook her head. "I see that both of you are still delusional and dreaming. Just tell me where I can find my boyfriend and his sisters so I can go home, and then maybe I won't completely hate you."

"Actually..." Azari trailed off.

"Actually what?" Izzy asked. "Oh, let me guess what you're gonna say next. You're gonna tell me how I'm never gonna see Harry again? Or Harriet and CJ for that matter?"

"Well, after everything, I would love to say that," Isa admitted.

Azari gave Isa a look. "But we're not going to say that. We're going to help you find them."

"Excuse me?" Izzy asked.

Azari took out a map. "We'll give you a map." Isa rolled her eyes, sighing. "A map that will lead you straight to them."

"If this is some kind of trap..." Izzy trailed off.

Isa chuckled. "We may have upgraded to the most evil parents of your group of friends, but we mean this promise. The path to finding Henry, Harriet and CJ Hook is on that map."

"Why are you giving it to me?" Izzy asked.

"To prove that you can trust us," Azari told her. "That you can trust that part of you that is like me and your mother."

"I am nothing like either of you," Izzy told them furiously, reaching for the map.

Isa took the map before Izzy could. "Yes, you are. And the only way you're getting this map is when you admit it. That's the point of this for us, Izzy. To get the map to find Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook, you have to admit that there is some part of you inside that is like your parents."

Izzy swallowed, shaking her head. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Azari gave her a look. "Yes, you do. You used to love the feeling of being a heartbreaker like Isa raised you to be. Being able to have so much control over so many boys, and the feeling you got when you broke them like Isa wanted you to. You used to like it. And you feel the hatred and the anger that I feel every day, even if it's just half of what I feel. And with the hallucinations of me playing inside your head, trying to drive you madder, darker, you're becoming more like me than you ever thought you could be."

Izzy shook her head, avoiding their gazes, looking down, taking a deep, shaky breath. "No."

"Come on, Izzy," Azari told her. "You're only going to find Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook if you admit it. That there's a part of you that is like us."

"Izzy, don't you think that it would be easier if you just gave in and started to be like us for real?" Isa asked.

Izzy glared at her. "No."

Isa smirked, starting a little song. "Did I catch your attention? / You look like you've seen a ghost."

Izzy rolled her eyes, reaching for the map. "Just tell me what I need to know most."

Isa pointed at Izzy. "Don't you come at me green with an attitude / We leave all those who cross us black and blue."

Izzy scoffed. "That's funny, 'cause we're all rather black, gold and red / When I circle the room, the boys twist their heads / When I leave them behind, you can tell by the broken necks."

Azari and Isa were both pleased by the fact that Izzy was somewhat admitting what they wanted her to admit.

Azari chuckled, shaking a finger at Izzy. "Your mother thought she was teaching you to be your worst / But let me tell you something that actually works / 'Cause I've been here once or twice." He let his eyes turn red/black to prove his point. "Never worry about the eyes." Izzy backed away, startled and somewhat scared that she could or would get eyes like that. "Come on, don't you stand there staring / Try to move your feet." Azari pointed at Isa. "If you think you were better at being bad while being like her, you should try being like me / We can teach you, nice and easy / We can take the lead / You were bad while being like you, you can be worse while being like me / Being like me."

Izzy shook her head, turning away. "I don't need  teacher / I know my own way / I don't need you to teach me things I don't know / I can't take it all at once / I could overdose / Don't you bring any bull to me tonight / It's a whole new fight, between you and me."

Isa circled around Izzy to face her. "But you know that I'll steal the show / Uh-oh / 'Cause I've been here once or twice." She let her eyes glow red like Izzy's did when using magic. "Never worry about the eyes / Don't you stand there staring / Try to move your feet / If you think you were better while being like you, you should try being like me / We can teach you, nice and easy / We can take the lead / You were bad while being like you, you can be worse while being like me / Being like me."

Izzy was getting very overwhelmed, trying not to lash out or get angry so she didn't lose control. "I don't need to be like you / I like being like me / You don't need to go nice and easy / I can take the heat / And I'll take the lead / I don't need to be like either of you / I like being like me / Being like me / No, no, no, no / Yeah, yeah, being like me."

Azari and Isa sang together. "But you could be so much better being like me / Being like me / Don't you stand there staring / Try to move your feet / If you think you were better at being like you, you should try being like me."

Izzy shook her head, pointing at Isa. "I don't need to be like you / I like being like me."

Azari and Isa circled around Izzy. "We can teach you, nice and easy / We can take the lead."

Izzy glared at them. "You don't need to go nice and easy / I can take the heat / And I'll take the lead."

Azari and Isa stopped in front of Izzy. "You were bad while being like you, you can be worse while being like me."

Izzy pointed at Azari. "I don't need to be like you either / I like being like me."

Izzy, Azari and Isa finished together. "Being like me."

Izzy held her hand toward Isa. "Now give me the map."

Isa smirked, shaking her head. "You didn't admit it."

"What the hell did you think I just did?" Izzy asked.

"You literally just sang about how you didn't want to be like us," Azari answered. "But you didn't admit that deep down, a little bit of you... is already like us."

Izzy closed her eyes nervously, looking down. "If... if I admit it, you give me the map and you let us find them without interference?"

"Promise," Azari answered, giving Isa a look.

Isa rolled her eyes, sighing, giving in. "Promise."

"And what about Captain Hook?" Izzy asked.

"You have to get to Harry, Harriet and CJ before Hook can kill them," Isa answered. "So you might want to hurry and admit it. Come on, Izzy. Are you really going to let your pride win and make you too late to save those you care about?"

Izzy pressed her lips together, clearly hating herself for even saying this, but knowing she had to to get the map. "You were right."

"About?" Azari asked.

"I just said that you were right," Izzy told them. "What more do you want?"

"We want you to say it," Azari answered.

"Why?" Izzy asked. "What difference would it make?"

"All the difference, if you wanna find the Hook siblings," Isa answered.

Izzy glared at them, as distant and cold toward them as she could be, and toward herself because of what she had to admit. "Okay. I used to love playing the game with the boys that you got me to break, Isa. I used to revel in the power I had over them, that I was always in control. Even Harry in the beginning before everything changed between us. I warned him that I would break him like all the rest because I was hoping that I wouldn't have to if I warned him away, but it didn't work, and I fell for him. And I didn't want to break him or be with anyone else. And the whispers I heard from you driving me slowly to madness, along with the hallucinations that I got later on from..." She looked at Azari, but looked down. "Him. I feel the hatred and the anger and the darkness, and I wish to God I didn't."

"Why?" Azari asked.

"Because I'm terrified of giving into it, what I could do," Izzy answered. Azari and Isa were now satisfied with the answer, while Izzy glared at them, fighting back tears in her eyes to try and seem as unbothered as possible. "Is that what you wanted to hear? Can I get the map and go now?"

Isa looked at the map in her hand for a moment before handing it to Izzy. "That's all you had to say."

Izzy took the map, glaring at both her parents, shaking her head in disgust. "Screw you. Screw both of you."

Izzy stormed away.

-----

Forest

Izzy had met up with Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil again, explaining about the map. "They so like their games."

"Kinda like you, Izzy," Gil told her. Izzy looked up to give him a hard look. "Something I said?"

"So they gave us the map," Yeva told them. "How do we know that they won't use it to lead us straight into a trap?"

"Because they don't need to," Ara answered. "This whole thing was the trap."

"So Azari and Isa already got hold of Izzy by luring her to them for the map so we can find Harry, Harriet and CJ and save them from Hook," Gaige stated. "Yeva, have you heard anything from your mother? Yzma try to call out to you?"

"Not that I know of," Yeva answered.

Uma nodded. "Good. Let's keep it that way. Come on, we gotta go."

"Well, we got the map," Uma told them. "We'll find them. Hey. Don't give up."

"They're playing a game," River told them. "We can win. We always do. No matter how long it takes."

Gaige took the map. "Let me see that. The best of us can do the most with the least."

Gil nodded. "Good, because that's pretty much all I've got."

Ara sighed, marching on. "All right, come on."

As the group started to follow the map, Yeva looked up as if she could feel something.

"What?" Izzy asked. "What is it?"

Yeva frowned in confusion. "I don't know. I just feel... like something's pulling me to..."

Mari turned to face her. "Oh, no, no, no, no. I know that Yzma is trying to call to you, but you have got to stay here."

"Mari's right, Yeva," Uma told her. "Don't go wandering off like Izzy did."

Yeva started to disappear in purple/black smoke, disappearing as if she was being magically pulled away by somebody.

River tried to grab her to keep her there, but it was too late. "Yeah, doesn't look like she has a choice in the matter. Yeva! You've gotta be kidding me. Izzy?"

"What?" Izzy asked. "River, Uma, I don't have control over Yzma, let alone my own parents. Just ask Ara and Mari."

"Well, unlike your parents, who actually want a relationship with you, Yeva's mother Yzma wants to kill her, and Jay, Celia and Facilier, Izzy," Gil told her.

"We've gotta find Yeva, Harry, Harriet and CJ, save them from Yzma and Hook and get the hell out of Neverland," Gaige told them.

"All right," Ara sighed. "Come on. The sooner we find them the sooner we can get out of here to safety and save everyone and get home."

Uma smirked. "Who died and made you queen, Ara?"

"That would be a bit more funnier if it wasn't for the situation we're in, Uma," Mari told her. "Come on."

River sighed. "All right, all right, let's go."

-----

Auradon

Main Water Mansion - Living Room

The rest of the group was sitting around, waiting around, while Celia and Bane were focusing their power combined to try and see if they could see if the group in Neverland was okay.

Mal was pacing, anxious and worried, arms crossed. "I hate this waiting around."

"Me too," Malia agreed. "I'm used to being out there helping."

"Mal, Malia, they're gonna be fine," Evie told them. "Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil can and will save Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook and bring them back."

Mal and Malia sighed. "Evie..."

Jay sighed. "No matter how worried I am about Yeva, I know that she can handle herself against the trio. She proved that at the church. You know, when she went from voodoo princess to voodoo queen when she learned to control both her powers at once."

Carlos nodded in agreement. "Well, I'm worried about Ara, too, but I know that she can take care of herself. She could hold off my mother with magic on her own, so I know she can do so much more when Izzy, Yeva, Mari, Gaige, Gil, Uma and River are with her. Especially when they're all going to save Harry, Harriet and CJ from Hook."

Bane was very distracted. "Yeah, but I'm really worried about Mari, too. I always end up worrying so much about her whenever we get separated during major battles like these. Which is more often than not."

"Bane, Mari's gonna be fine," Ben told him. "Malia, calm down. Because guess what? Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil are gonna be okay, too. And so are Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook."

"Mal, can you please stop pacing?" Anthony asked. "You're distracting Bane and Celia, showing complete lack of confidence in them. They can find out if they're okay if you just let them concentrate."

Mal sighed, nodding in agreement, sitting down.

"Listen to Ben and Anthony," Evie told them. "As usual, they know what they're talking about."

Celia frowned slightly, seeing something.

"Celia?" Jay asked. "What do you see?"

"I think Izzy, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil are close to finding Harry, Harriet and CJ and saving them from Hook," Celia answered. "But Yeva... I didn't see or feel much about her. Not yet. I think she's with Yzma."

Bane sighed, nodding. "But they're fine. And they can come home. That's what matters."

They all nodded in agreement, still incredibly worried.

-----

Neverland - Forest

Yzma was waiting, summoning Yeva to her via spell.

Yeva appeared in the swirl of purple/black smoke, looking at Yzma cautiously. "Yzma."

"Hello, Yeva," Yzma drawled in her nasally, throaty, villainy stone. "I see your eyes are permanently glowing purple now that you've made yourself a voodoo queen, while fighting against me and your friend's parents. How ironic is that?"

Yeva tried to step toward Yzma, but she found that she was prevented by a circle surrounding her. "What the hell is this?"

Yzma smirked. "Don't waste your energy, dear. Azari and Isa helped me cast this circle so that it can be strong enough even to hold a voodoo queen like you. You should be thanking me. You wouldn't have even become a voodoo queen if it wasn't for me."

"Why are you doing this?" Yeva asked angrily.

Yzma scoffed. "Don't blame me. You're the one that turned me into a cat."

"Because you were trying to kill me and Jay and the rest of my friends!" Yeva replied. "After you lied to me about Celia and my father and threatened them to stay away from me all this time so that we couldn't be a family, because you were scared that this would happen. Let me out of here."

Yzma shook her head, smirking. "Hmm, no, I rather like the feeling of being able to put my daughter, even as powerful as you are now, in a figurative and literal time out. Maybe I'll keep you here while your friends leave to go home to Auradon."

Yeva scoffed, shaking her head. "They won't leave me here. We came all this way to save Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook, and they won't leave me here for the same reason that we came here to save the Hooks, because we love our friends, and we always save those we lose, and never leave anyone behind if we can help it."

Yzma shrugged, touching her cat necklace, which turned into her double swords. "Maybe I should make sure that they can't help it."

Yeva backed away to the edge of the circle, unable to leave it yet. "Yzma, wait. Please don't do this. I don't wanna have to fight against you again."

"Perhaps you should've considered that before you cursed me to live as a feline," Yzma replied.

Yeva glared. "You would've done the same. You tried to do worse."

"Perhaps," Yzma agreed, slashing the swords at Yeva.

Yeva ducked both sword strikes, touching her purple bracelet to make it magically turn into her voodoo staff, using it to amplify her power and break free from the circle, and in the process, she sent out a blast wave that threw Yzma to the ground and made her drop the double swords. Yzma used her magic to push Yeva back.

Yeva held out her hand, using her telepathy power to get into Yzma's head to make her stop, projecting her thoughts into Yzma's head. "Enough!"

Yzma had to stop, frozen in place from the type of mind control, stunned. "How are you doing that?"

"One of my powers," Yeva answered. "It's easy to get you to stop when I'm in your head."

Yzma realized what she could hear when Yeva was in her mind, glaring, suddenly speaking in the insanely loud voice again. "Get out of my head! Out, out, out!"

Yeva jumped, but she could still remain in Yzma's head, reading her thoughts, hearing what Yzma had told Azari and Isa before, looking confused at first. "Who's Freddie? And Zevon and Yzla?"

Yzma continued to raise her voice, struggling to get free from the mind control but couldn't move. "Get out! Get out, get out, get out!"

Yeva heard more of her thoughts, in shock. "You made Dad forget that he had another daughter, Freddie, because he tried to build a relationship with me before? You made Celia forget that she had another sister. You made them forget Freddie."

Yzma glared at her, trying to break free but unable to. "Get... out... of... my... mind."

Yeva looked even more in shock and denial. "And you had two other children. Zevon and Yzla. You just have them locked away somewhere because they weren't like you. And you were gonna lock me away like you did to Zevon and Yzla. I have three other siblings? Where are they? Where are Freddie, Zevon and Yzla?"

Yzma shook her head furiously. "You'll never find them. Never!"

Yeva scoffed softly, shaking her head. "I might not be able to get the answer from your head yet, but I--" Yzma was able to finally break free, using magic to shoot Yeva back, lunging for her double swords on the ground, picking them up, lunging toward Yeva. Yeva shot a voodoo beam at Yzma's hands to make her drop the double swords. "Not gonna happen, Yzma. See you another time."

Yeva slammed her voodoo staff on the ground, turning into black and purple smoke, flying away. Yzma watched her go, glaring after her furiously, unable to believe that Yeva could find out about her siblings with telepathy like that.

-----

Cliffs

Izzy, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil were following the map.

"Gaige, are you sure that if we find Harry, Harriet and CJ Hook, that we also find Yeva?" Gil asked.

"No, we're not sure, Gil, but it's the only thing that we can think of right now," Gaige answered.

"Come on," Ara told them. "We can find all four of them and go home."

Uma looked at Izzy skeptically. "And Azari and Isa are just gonna let us leave?"

"That's what they said," Izzy answered.

"Why would they go through all this trouble just to let us go?" River asked. "That makes no sense."

Mari shrugged. "Probably the same reason why Azari went through all the trouble of taking down two royal jets and exiling us on the island just so that he could take Izzy just to release her and cure Mal and Malia from the poison that he poisoned them with, and put a parasite on Bane that he knew Yeva would be able to help him take out, before Bane did it himself, and sent Cruella after Ara even though he knew that Ara and Carlos would be able to stop her."

Purple/black smoke flew closer, forming into Yeva, who was holding her voodoo staff, walking closer. "For whatever twisted reason, Azari and Isa are trying every wrong way to get Izzy's trust and for her to choose their side." They looked at her in surprise and relief. "While Yzma just tried to kill me."

"How did you do that smoke thing?" Izzy asked.

"And are you okay?" Ara asked.

Yeva pointed at Izzy to answer her question. "I'm not sure how I did that yet." She pointed at Ara to answer her question. "I don't know about that either, but I got away easily because Yzma underestimated me, and I found something out from her thoughts, but I'll tell you guys later when we get home, because I need to tell Celia and our dad first."

"Okay," Mari agreed. "Let's go then."

"You sure you're okay?" Uma asked.

"Yeah," Yeva said, reconsidering. "No. I don't know. I'm reeling, so I'll get back to you on that."

"Okay," River agreed. "We're just really glad you're okay, Yeva."

Everyone nodded in agreement, as they all shared an embrace with Yeva. 

Gaige sighed. "Let's get Harry, Harriet and CJ and get the hell out of here and away from Hook before Izzy and Yeva's parents get worse on us."

Gil looked at the map. "I agree, Gaige. So, according to the map that Izzy's parents gave her, there on Dead Man's Peak with Captain Hook. Look, there's Dead Man's Peak. That's where Harry, Harriet and CJ are. It's so far away." Gaige rolled his eyes, turning the map, which was upside down, upright so that Gil could look at it the right way. "And there it is again. We're so close."

Gaige hit Gil on the head. "Come on."

The group continued on their way to Dead Man's Peak.

-----

Dead Man's Peak

Harry, Harriet and CJ were facing their father, their hands still tied.

James was placing their swords on the ground in front of each of them. "Where should we start, children? No stopping me this time, kids. This is it. Don't make a move, not a step. I'm the one with the power this time. Don't try to stop me."

CJ rolled her eyes. "Oh, not again."

"This is it," James repeated. "Don't try to stop me, kids. Don't try to stop me this time. Don't you dare try to stop me this time. Okay, try to stop me. You'd better get up off your asses. Get up!"

Harriet ignored him. "Harry, Cali, don't listen to him."

James pointed his sword at Harriet. "My first born. You're supposed to be the greatest legend around. But no. What are you? A disappointment!"

"I'm sorry I'm not the perfect son you always had in mind," Harriet told him angrily in sarcasm.

"No, you're not," James agreed. He pointed his sword at Harry. "And my only son is a disgrace to my name. A first mate to some sea witches in training, alongside another first mate, one of the sons of Gaston." He pointed his sword at CJ. "And the little one of mine? Devastatingly hopeless. All my children turned out worthless!"

"It never mattered what we did," CJ told him angrily. "We would never be what you wanted. None of us."

James nodded in agreement, tilting his head. "Maybe it's my own fault. Maybe I didn't remind ya kids who you are enough. This is what I'm doing now."

Harry glared at his father, slowly rising to his feet. "By what? Kicking the hell out of us? It didn't work then, Father, and it won't work now. I used to worship you. Carried this hook to try and live by your name. It would do no good."

"You wanted a pirate queen, someone who was as ruthless as you had been," Harriet told him. "Someone who could bring back the golden days. A pirate queen was what you wanted, and a pirate queen is what I could never be, no matter how hard I tried. I tried so very hard, which required me to be away a lot. That left your mood swings to fall mostly on Harry and Cali, even though I knew Harry ended up taking them all. He would make CJ hide and he would force you to turn your anger toward him instead. If Harry and I left and I wasn't around, he made CJ leave too."

"I don't think I had ever felt the physical wrath of you, and I have Harry to thank for that," CJ told him. "And Harry always seemed to get it way worse than Harriet did. Him willingly agreeing to accept the label of a first mate instead of captain like Gaige did... on your ship, nonetheless. I know that made you angrier than Harriet failing to live up to the title of pirate queen. We realized the truth a long time ago, Father. Realized we would always be a disappointment to you. Why do you think Harriet and I left you behind? If we left, then Harry wouldn't have to see you again, and he would be able to be friends with Izzy, Yeva, Gaige, Gil, Uma and River, without having to face you so that he would be safe from you."

Harriet glared at James with tears in her eyes. "Do you remember the time that you beat CJ to hell just because a boy kissed her? Harry was with Izzy, Yeva, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil, which is why he couldn't stop it beforehand, and would have done a lot worse, but Harry came home, took your anger and sent CJ to me so I could patch her up. Harry and I tried to protect her from your wrath, and we had failed. And knowing that Harry was still with you, while you could have killed him, I went back, knowing that Harry would be pissed that I left CJ alone, that I would stop you from hurting him when Harry would rather take it so neither me or CJ would be in danger, I knew, but I didn't care. I couldn't take it. I couldn't stand back and do nothing."

James laughed sarcastically, pointing at each of them. "Now, listen, I know the three of you are very different from each other, in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as your father's concerned, you're all wastes. Yeah, I can prove it mathematically. Actually, let me prove it physically." He slashed through Harry's ropes on his wrists. "This has been a long time coming anyway. Pick it up, boy, and fight."

Harry instantly picked up his sword, aiming it at James. "You don't get to hurt Harriet and CJ anymore, Father."

James turned on Harry, his eyes deep crimson. "You dare talk to me in such a tone, boy?" He growled, stepping closer to Harry. "Who do you think you are?" Harry glared at him in rage, flashing his eyes. James laughed. "Are you challenging me, boy?"

James readied his sword, staring Harry in the eyes threateningly.

Harry readied his own sword. "Guess I am."

James laughed. "Then you shall die this night, son." He took the first stab. Harry was barely able to avoid it, countering with a thrust of his sword, which James expertly blocked. James continued to try to attack Harry, but Harry continued to block. James grinned wickedly. "Get your head in the game, boy."

"I'm focused," Harry replied. "On your end. Don't worry."

Harry and James continued to block and parry each other's blows.

James was getting the upper hand. "This is what happens when you're a first mate or a protector to women, like your sisters or that girl you call your princess. You get used to coming in second. You get soft."

Harry scoffed. "You're one to talk, old man." James growled, trying to attack Harry again. Harry smirked, dodging it easily, holding out his arms mockingly, tilting his head, grinning tauntingly. "Now who needs to get their head in the game?"

Harriet and CJ watched their brother worriedly. "Harry!"

"You're never gonna win this," James sneered. "You're never gonna be good enough. You're a disgrace to my name, Harry. You, Harriet and Calista. You don't deserve my hook."

James and Harry continued to parry with the swords. James knocked the sword from Harry's hand, taking a swing. Harry decided to dive for his sword, able to grab it, turning around just in time to raise the sword to block the next attack from James, using his sword to push James back, scrambling to his feet, trying to hold his ground. James knocked the sword from Harry's hand again, thrusting. Harry tried to dodge, but James caught his shoulder with the sword, making Harry groan in pain, laughing, slicing his leg, making him fall to his knees.

Harry glared at James. "You don't win. Not as long as Harriet, CJ and Izzy are still out there."

"Well, your girl won't be out there for long, boy," James mocked. "Her parents are going to turn her sooner or later. Taking you out of the picture..."

"Is a way of making her lose her mind," Harry realized, getting very angry. "I'm the one that was keeping her from getting worse."

James pointed at Harry with his sword. "Now you're getting it."

"Well, the only way you're gonna stop me from getting to Izzy is by killing me," Harry pointed out.

James smirked. "Got a better idea." He grabbed Harry's shirt, shoving him back against the wall. "You know, Harry, I really had big plans for ya. My only son. You really let me down, boy. Why do you keep trying? You will never win."

Harry glared at him. "Go to hell."

James laughed. "I'm already in it, boy!"

James sighed, going for a strike with the hook, but Harry dodged.

Harriet and CJ were getting even more worried but couldn't do anything about it while tied up, struggling. "Harry?"

Harriet found her hook and Harry's hook nearby, rolling over the ground toward the hooks, picking up hers so that she could cut herself free, tossing the other to CJ. CJ cut her ropes so that she could free herself, standing, slinging her rope over a tree branch, tying it down like that.

Harriet pushed James away from Harry back onto an old wooden table, making it break. James growled, trying to get up. 

CJ backed up, holding onto the rope, jumping up to swing down from the rope toward James to kick him hard in the head, making him fall unconscious. She managed to swing back the other way toward Harriet and Harry, jumping down next to them.

"Ettie?" Harry asked. "Cali? What the hell did you do that for?"

CJ rolled her eyes. "What does it look like, dumbass? To save you."

Harriet and CJ helped Harry over to a rock to sit him down. Harry collapsed onto the rocks, using the cliff wall behind him to keep himself propped up.

Harriet looked at him worriedly. "Oh, little bro."

Harry rolled his eyes. "It's not so bad." Harriet and CJ glared at him. "Okay, maybe it is, but he was way more cranked up than the past. And I'm not worried about me right now. Oh, we need to find Isabella, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Uma, River, Gaige and Gil. Make their jobs easier to find us."

"We'll find them, okay?" Harriet asked. "Just relax for a moment."

CJ looked at him in concern. "Why do you do it, Harry?"

"Do what?" Harry asked.

"You used to take on all of our problems," CJ answered. "Why do you always end up pushing his buttons like this?"

Harry shrugged. "You're my sisters." He smirked. "Why'd ya do it?"

"Do what?" Harriet asked.

"Contact Izzy, me this morning," Harry answered. "You guys left a long time ago. Why'd you come back now?"

Harriet sighed. "You're my little brother."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Only by a year."

Izzy, Yeva, Ara, Mari, Gaige, Gil, Uma and River climbed up the rest of the cliff, seeing them, running closer.

"Harry?" Izzy asked worriedly in horror. "Harry, oh, my God."

Harry sighed in relief. "Isabella."

Harriet and CJ smiled slightly. "Izzy."

Izzy ran closer to the Hook siblings to check on Harry, while she, Harriet and CJ were comforting each other.

"Hey, Harriet," River told her. "CJ. Long time."

"Yeah, it has," CJ agreed. "Hey, Rivvie." River rolled her eyes, giving CJ a look, causing her to correct herself. "River. Missed you, Yeva, Uma, Gaige and Gil."

Yeva sighed in relief. "Missed you guys too."

Ara was horrified and concerned by their appearance. "Oh, my God. Are you guys okay?"

"Obviously not," Uma answered. They noticed James unconscious on the ground. "Is he..."

"Just unconscious," Harriet answered. "Cali knocked him out."

Gil smiled. "All right, CJ." CJ grinned. "Hey, Harriet."

Mari sighed. "Can't believe we found you guys like this."

"Come on," Gaige told them. "Let's Harry out of here. Looks like he took the beating for Harriet and CJ again."

"Yep," Harriet answered. "Hey, Gaige."

Izzy, Harriet and CJ helped Harry up, while the others stood ready to help if they had to.

"Come on," Izzy told them. "We can still fix this."

CJ looked at Harry and Harriet. "I guess we'll always be three peas in a pod... or I guess three hooks in a pirate's hand."

The others chuckled in amusement.

Yeva sighed heavily in relief. "Let's go home."

"Are they really letting us go, after all that, just like that?" Harry asked.

"As far as we know?" Ara asked. "Yeah. Just like that."

"How?" Harry asked. "Why?"

"Long story," Mari told them. "We'll explain on the ship ride back home."

"Let's just go before they change their minds," Uma told them.

River led the way to the edge of the cliff. "Yeah. Come on. It's a long way down."

Gil chuckled. "Yeah."

-----

Auradon

The Lost Revenge was flying home, down to the dock, landing safely in the ocean. Mal, Malia, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Ben, Anthony, Bane, Celia and Facilier were waiting anxiously, but cheered excitedly in relief when they saw the Lost Revenge returning home. Once the ship was docked, Yeva, Ara and Mari quickly ran down from the ship to the dock.

Yeva quickly ran to embrace Jay, Celia and Facilier in relief, each one in turn, all of them sighing in complete relief. 

Carlos and Ara met each other halfway, embracing in relief.

Bane and Mari ran to embrace each other, holding each other tight.

Gaige and Gil were helping carry Harry off the ship, while Izzy, Harriet and CJ were helping them steady him. Uma and River followed worriedly.

Everyone was talking over each other in complete relief how they were so glad everyone was okay or glad to be back, until Mal, Malia, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Ben, Anthony, Bane and Celia saw the bad shape that Harry was in.

"Oh, my God," Evie said. "Is he okay?"

"What the hell happened to him?" Anthony asked.

"Our father," Harriet answered.

"Huh," Jay said. "Never thought that I would sympathize with Harry or Gaige, but today proved me wrong."

"Not the time for jokes, Jay," Ben told him.

"Um, get Harry to the Tower," Carlos told them. "I have the supplies there to help him."

"The Tower?" CJ repeated in confusion.

"Yeah," Mal answered. "We'll explain on the way."

"Come on," Malia told them. "Hurry."

"Come on, come on," Bane told them. "When there, me and the girls can use magic to help heal him."

"Okay," Celia agreed. "Come on, come on, let's go."

Everyone started to take Harry away to get him help.

-----

The Tower - Medical Bay

Harry was sleeping in bed, recovering from what James did to him while Izzy, Harriet and CJ watched him. The others were out of the room after using magic to help him heal.

Harriet sighed. "Izzy, I never got the chance to tell you, since the day turned out this way. At least the outside of your mansion is meant for you two. Red and black."

Izzy nodded. "And both of you wear red, black and white."

"Yep," CJ agreed. "And you have a huge as hell mansion. Way bigger than it has to be for you and Harry. You planning on a big future? Because I would be the coolest cool aunt ever."

Harriet smirked.

Izzy blushed slightly. "Harry asked me something like that before all this happened to cheer me up, but I wasn't ever thinking about that."

Harriet chuckled. "Oh, I'm sure." She slowly became more serious as she looked at Harry worriedly. "Izzy, you know that we left him because we were trying to save him, right?"

Izzy nodded in answer, looking down worriedly. "Yeah. I know the feeling."

CJ looked at Izzy. "Yeah, we know. Harry said that you were breaking him so that your mother didn't kill him."

Izzy nodded sadly. "Yeah."

CJ looked at her brother worriedly. "Harry was always so loving and protective with us. All of us. Just as he did for us, we wanted to keep him safe and living. Leaving was our way. At least now we know we'll be safe in Auradon. I mean, after the trio is dealt with. We took care of our father."

Izzy sighed. "Yeah. Harry almost died because my parents recruited your father and Yzma to kidnap you three and to kill Harry so that I would lose my mind. Even though my parents gave me the map to find you three as long as I admitted that I was somewhat like them, so that they could try and plant a seed of darkness in me. It's never going to stop until I turn dark."

Harriet tilted her head. "Izzy, don't you even think about giving in. If you gave in and we all lost you like that, then that would kill Harry more."

Izzy tilted her head in acknowledgement. "I guess you're..."

"Right?" Harriet asked. "I know. I always know."

Izzy smirked, rolling her eyes. "I know. It's an annoying habit of yours."

CJ smiled. "Izzy, you and I used to be so close. And you and Harriet, you two could either be the best of friends or the worst of enemies depending on your moods because of you both being so similar, and you could go from either friends to enemies within seconds." Izzy and Harriet smiled. "Just promise us that you won't give in."

Izzy took a deep breath, nodding. "I promise. I'll keep fighting. But I don't know how long I can keep fighting."

Harriet patted Izzy on the arm. "Well, you have two more people to help you now."

The three smiled, and looked at Harry when they heard him groaning, watching as Harry stirred in the bed and slowly sit up.

CJ sighed heavily. "Harry!"

The three girls walked closer to him in relief.

Harriet looked at him, managing a small smile. "How's the head?"

Harry narrowed his eyes at the girls, looking between the three of them. "Hurts like hell."

Harriet chuckled. "Figures. Always happens after seeing Dad. I think you're allergic to visits from Dad now."

Harry rolled his eyes, groaning at the poor joke, causing the girls to smirk as he tried to stand.

Izzy gave him a look. "Where do you think you're going?"

"You want me to lay in bed all day?" Harry asked. "Probably want to keep thoughts like that in check when in the room with Harriet and CJ, Isabella."

Izzy smirked. "Keep dreaming."

Harriet and CJ laughed lightly. Harry smirked.

-----

Outside

Izzy, Harry, Harriet and CJ walked outside to join the others, seeing that they were all sitting around a garden like place.

Mal saw them, sighing in relief. "Hey, guys. We were wondering when you were gonna come out."

"Or if you wanted to," Malia agreed. "How are you guys doing?"

"I hurt like hell," Harry answered.

"Well, at least you're still alive," Evie told him. "We're all happy about that, believe it or not."

"Yeah, even me, Harry," Jay told him. "You and Gaige piss me off to no end, but we got somewhat closer, so..."

Gaige smirked. "Yeah. Thanks for that, Jay."

"What are you guys all doing out here?" Izzy asked. "Was there a party that we didn't get invited to?"

"People should've invited us to the party," CJ complained.

Harriet smirked. "Cali."

CJ sighed. "I know, I know."

"We just wanted to sit out here and wait for you guys," Carlos answered. "We wanted you guys to know that you weren't alone after what happened."

Yeva whispered to Celia. "After this, I need to tell you and Dad something about something dealing with all of us and Yzma."

Celia nodded in agreement. "Okay. Why not tell me now?"

Yeva shook her head, putting a finger to her lips, nodding to the others to let Celia know she didn't want to bother anyone else until everything was better. Celia nodded in understanding.

The Prism of the Chosen Ones flew down from the sky, right up to Harry, making everyone stop, showing them that it was holding several tiny crystals inside, with six missing, and those missing six were the ones that were given to Carlos, Anthony, Ben, Izzy, Celia and Yeva. The main group was used to this, but Harriet and CJ looked at it in shock. 

"What the hell is that?" Harriet asked.

"That's the prism I told you about before," Izzy answered.

CJ nodded in understanding. "Oh, okay."

"Prism of the Chosen Ones," Bane clarified.

Mari smirked. "Bane needed to correct that before Braven gets annoyed at you again, Izzy."

Izzy rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Mari."

"Izzy..." Ara trailed off.

"I'm fine, Ara," Izzy told her.

"Who's Braven?" Harriet asked.

"Don't ask," Mari told them. "You wouldn't believe us if we told you."

Harry looked at Izzy. "So you told Harriet and CJ a lot more than you told me that you told them, if you told them about the prism." Bane cleared his throat. "Ignoring you. I'm not saying the full damn name." Bane rolled his eyes, nodding, having expected that response. Mari smiled slightly. Izzy, Harriet and CJ smiled sheepishly, which caused the others to smirk in amusement. Harry looked at the prism, sighing. "About bloody time I get my weapon. Only took for my father to nearly kill me and me to fight him."

Izzy nodded to Harriet and CJ. "I'm pretty sure it was more than that, Harry. You let them back in your heart and you late the anger go."

Harry sighed, looking between Izzy, Harriet and CJ, who all smiled slightly.

CJ looked at the prism. "So what do you do?"

"Harry just takes the one that's calling out to him," Yeva answered. "It'll create his own weapon for him and we'll be one more step closer to being able to stop the trio for good."

Harry leaned closer to the prism, looking at the crystals, pushing himself up, a little painfully. His sisters tried to help him, but Harry pushed their hands lightly. "Ettie, Cali, I got it." Izzy chuckled. Harriet and CJ smirked. Harry stepped closer to the prism, seeing that one of the crystals inside was glowing red/black/little white, the colors of the Hooks, shared with Carlos, though they used a lot more red. He slowly reached into the prism so that he could take hold of the crystal that was calling out to him, pulling it out. Once the crystal was out of the prism, the crystal was slowly turning into a set of nunchucks, like the crystal was creating the weapon specially just for Harry based on his personality, leaving the nunchucks resting in his hands as the crystal dissolved away completely. Harriet and CJ were in shock from seeing this, in awe, while the others were used to it, but smiling slightly at the fact Harry got his weapon. Harry smirked, swinging his nunchucks around. "Whoo-hoo."

"Nunchunks?" Gaige asked in amusement. "Like that's not gonna get you in more trouble."

The others all chuckled, smiling. As soon as it had appeared, the prism flew away up into the sky, disappearing. Harry relaxed back into his seat behind him, in between Izzy and his sisters.

Harriet looked in the direction that the prism flew away in. "That's a nifty little thing. You were right, Izzy, it is weird."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Maybe it is weird, but so far, it's the only thing that's giving us hope that we can stop the trio eventually," Uma told them.

"And finally find some kind of peace," Ara agreed.

CJ reached for the nunchucks. "Let me see!"

Harry took the nunchucks out of her reach. "Nuh-uh. Hands off, CJ. Mine."

They all smiled in amusement, chuckling lightly.

"So what is with the big group gathering?" Gil asked.

"Because of everything that happened lately," Ben answered. "We just needed a moment with all of us."

"Oh, are we gonna have a big group 'let's not give up hope' moments?" River asked, kinda bored but knowing they all needed this, causing the others to laugh lightly.

"Yeah, kinda," Anthony answered. "We all need this right now, River."

Bane nodded in agreement. "After everything that's happened with the trio and all the other villain parents, I couldn't agree more."

"True," Ara agreed. "I know that some of us are fighting it hard to fight." She looked at Izzy sadly, who looked down. "But we have to keep fighting."

"Yeah?" Uma asked. "And what else is new?"

"We're all praying for a miracle to help end this battle with the least amount of people getting hurt in the process," Mari told them. "Maybe we just gotta hang on a little longer."

Together, the main group started to sing, while Harriet and CJ watched them curiously.

Izzy took Harry by the hand, brushing back a bit of his dark hair, careful with his slight wounds that were mostly healed due to magic. "Do you see the end of the light? / At the end of the tunnel? / Flickering for you?"

Yeva held Celia's hands, leaning her head on Jay's shoulder. "If you hold on tight / You'll come out of the rubble / Stronger than you knew."

Mal took Anthony and Malia's hands. "It's hard to find the will to fight / When all you can do is survive / But it's waiting on the other side."

Malia held Mal's hand with one hand, holding her arm around Ben with the other. "It's gonna get better one day / The pain is gonna fade away / If you just hang on a little longer / Hang on a little longer."

Evie nodded slowly, sympathetically and caringly for everyone around her. "If you got hell to pay / Your miracle is on its way / If you just hang on a little longer / Hang on a little longer."

Jay put an arm around Yeva, as she leaned her head on his shoulder still. "Try to drown it out / But the whisper of hope rings loud / Echos in your room."

Carlos leaned forward, holding Ara's hand, tracing his fingers along her skin. "It's the only sound / The swallows all of the doubt / That tries to cripple you."

Ben had an arm around Malia, looking at Bane and Anthony as the three brothers nodded to each other. "'Cause when nothing in you wants to fight / And all you can do is survive / Just let it open up your eyes."

Anthony still held one arm around Mal, nodding to everyone. "It's gonna get better one day / The pain is gonna fade away / If you just hang on a little longer / Hang on a little longer."

Bane held Mari's hand in both of his, as the two looked at each other with small smiles. "If you got hell to pay / your miracle is on its way / If you just hang on a little longer / Hang on a little longer."

Ara leaned her head on Carlos's shoulder, holding Mari's hand. "It's waiting on the other side / If you open up your eyes / You can find the will to fight deep inside."

Mari held Ara's hand in one hand, and Bane's hand in the other, looking over everyone. "It's gonna get better one day / The pain is gonna fade away / If you just hang on a little longer / Hang on a little longer."

Uma nodded to all her friends, looking at River. "If you got hell to pay / Your miracle is on its way / If you just hang on a little longer / Hang on a little longer."

River relaxed in a old arm hold from Gaige, reaching out to Uma as well, while she looked at all their friends. "It's gonna get better one day / The pain is gonna fade away / If you just hang on a little longer / Hang on a little longer."

Gaige nodded, arm still around River, reaching out to share a handshake with Gil. "If you got hell to pay / Your miracle is on its way / If you just hang on a little longer / Hang on a little longer."

Harry was supported by Izzy, an arm around her, as he looked from her to CJ and Harriet, the four of them smiling a bit. "It's gonna get better one day / The pain is gonna fade away / If you just hang on a little longer."

Harriet and CJ sang with Harry for this line, "Hang on a little longer."

Gil patted Gaige on the shoulder, looking over everyone. "If you got hell to pay / Your miracle is on its way / If you just hang on a little longer."

Everyone sang together. "Hang on a little longer."

Celia smiled sadly as she finished the song. "Do you see the light / At the end of the tunnel? / Flickering for you."

As they all finished the song, they all looked at each other in relief that they were all okay for now, worried about the future, but also taking the message of the song seriously, that if they just could hang on a little longer, that things would be getting better soon.
