Torn Into Pieces

The group drove onto the Isle and over to the crowd that was saying goodbye to the new group of V.K.'s. Malinda, Ben, and Mal went over to Celia who was saying goodbye to her dad. Evie went over to Dizzy who was saying goodbye to her grandmother. Carlos and Jay went over to Squeaky and Squirmy who were saying goodbye to their dad.

"Here, let me get this off you." Mal said as she started to help Ceila with her bag, causing Celia to give her a weird look before tossing her bag into the trunk. "Oh. Okay."

"Okay." Ben said as he closed the trunk. "Let's go and do..." Celia walked away as Ben was in the middle of talking. "This." Ben finished awkwardly causing Malinda and Mal to laugh at him as the others got into the limo before Mal followed them as Malinda and Ben paused and waved to the crowd before following the group into the limo.

As Jay started to drive away, Evie turned to Dizzy with an excited smile.

"So, as soon as we get to Auradon, you have to try ice cream." Evie told Dizzy with a soft smile, remembering how excited Dizzy was last year when they first talked about it.

"And go swimming?!" Dizzy asked excitedly.

"I can take you to the Enchanted Lake." Evie told Dizzy and they both squealed.

"I can't believe I get to live with you in your very own castle!" Dizzy gushed excitedly.

"It's just a little starter castle." Evie said as if it were no big deal.

"Here." Carlos said as he reached across Squeaky to grab a large Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and handed it to Squeaky, causing Squeaky to look at him hesitantly. "Go on. Trust me on this." Carlos gave Squeaky a soft smile, causing Squeaky to hesitantly take a bite causing his eyes to go wide. "I know. Dig in, dig in."

Celia turned to Ben and showed him her deck of tarot cards while looking at him with a smirk. Ben took a card with a smile before handing it to Celia as Malinda watched over Ben's shoulder, resting her chin on Ben's shoulder. Celia put her hands over the card while closing her eyes and nodding with a smile.

"You're going to be a wise and brave king." Celia told Ben as she showed him his card.

"He already is." Malinda told Celia with a soft smile as she gently grabbed Ben's arm.

"See? The cards never lie." Celia said with a grin as she held out her hand,expectantly as she gestured with her eyes to her hand.

"Ah." Ben muttered as he grabbed his wallet from his pants and pulled out some cash and placed it in Celia's hand causing her to get excited.

As they drove closer to the barrier, Jay pressed the button to open it as a crowd of people watched them leave. Evie looked back at them with a grin when all of a sudden she saw Hades shove his way through the crowd and ran towards the barrier. Just before the barrier closed, Hades shoved his hand, the one that was holding his ember, through the opening causing the ember to light up as it got its power back.

"It's Hades." Evie exclaimed, causing the group to turn in shock as Hades started to force the barrier open even more. "Stop the car, he's trying to escape!" Jay quickly stopped the limo and everyone quickly rushed out of it.

"I am a god! I don't belong here!" Hades shouted angrily as he tried to force his way through the barrier. Malinda, Evie, and Mal quickly pushed the kids back in the car and closed the doors behind them as the boys tried to rush at Hades, causing him to shoot them with his magic and they fell down to the ground.

Malinda looked at Hades in shock, not having seen him in years, as they locked eyes when all of a sudden she felt her eyes turn green as purple smoke started to surround her. Everyone watched in shock as the smoke cleared to reveal that Malinda had turned herself into a dragon. Malinda screeched at Hades as he looked at her with wide eyes, never having seen her do that before. Malinda flew towards Hades causing him to point his ember's magic at her, causing her to screech in pain. Her friends, fiance, and sister watched in shock and horror as Hades' magic affected her.
