CHAPTER 41

"Help me, Mal!" Celia calls out.

"Yeah, save your little friend, Mal!" Audrey yells causing Mal's eyes to turn green as she is covered in purple smoke before emerging as a dragon. Mal flies to the top of the building to find Celia and Audrey. Val runs after Uma and Harry for help. Mal blows a fire ball at Audrey, who uses the scepter to absorb it. Audrey then tries to zap Mal with the scepter.

"Help me, Mal!" Celia calls as Audrey grabs her.

"Careful not to fry your little V.K. buddy," Audrey taunts Mal, who then tries to ignite the ember with her flame.

"She doesn't stand a chance without the ember," Val says as she, Uma, and Harry watch from below.

"Help me, Mal!" Celia calls again. Audrey then zaps Mal's wing causing her to start falling.

"We're stronger together," Uma calls as her necklace starts glowing as Mal lands on the ground, changing back. "We're stronger together! I'm right here! Regain your might and ignite. I'm right here, girl. I'm right here. Regain your might and ignite!" Mal holds out the ember and it regains it's glow before she hands it to Val.

"Yes!" Harry cheers as Uma laughs excitedly. Val's eyes turn green as she is covered in green smoke coming out as a dragon.

"You want a piece of this, huh?" Audrey taunts Celia.

"No, no!" Celia cries as she cowers. Val appears behind Audrey, who turns towards her laughing evilly. Audrey tries to zap Val but she uses the power of the ember to fight back as her eyes start shining blue.

"Go, Val!" Celia cheers.

"Go, Val! You got this! You got this, girl!" Uma and Mal cheer on from below. The ember starts to over power the scepter and with a mighty roar from Val, the ember wins.

"Yeah! Come on!" Harry cheers before he and Uma hug. Val is covered in blue smoke as she lands on the roof.

"Val!" Celia says as she runs and hugs Val.

"Celia. It's okay. I've got you," Val says as she hugs her back. Val then walks over to Audrey, who hasn't moved. "Audrey? Oh, no." Val tries to use the ember to wake her before he father's voice plays in her head, 'You're only half Hades. The ember won't do everything for you two that it does for me.'

Ben, Evie, Carlos, Dude, and Jay are no longer stone.

"Come on. Let's go," Ben tells them.

"She's slipping away," Evie says from where she sits beside Val. Mal sits on the other side of Audrey's bed, as they watch over her. Mal shares a look with Val, who nods before Mal let's out a sigh.

"There's only one person in the world who might be able to do something about this, and that's Hades," Mal explains.

"Hades?" Ben asks. "He wouldn't do it. I wouldn't risk it."

"Actually, he might do it for us. He's our father," Mal tells him as she and Val look at each other causing everyone to look at them in shock.

"Okay. Well, I'll have to send guards to get him," Ben says as he tries to process everything.

"Maybe I can hitch a ride," Uma tells him. "The Isle is my home. Someone needs to be there to protect it."

"Well, then, you will need your first mate," Harry says as he walks over to Uma.

"The Isle will be in very good hands," Val tells Uma with a smile.

"Can Felicity and I go, too? I wish we could be in both places," Celia asks causing Mal to look down sadly.

"I really think that Evie and Val were right," Mal says as she stands up. "And... I do think that we could've been friends. And I'm really sorry that I lied to all of you guys. You deserved so much better than that."

"You were just trying to do the right thing," Jay tells her as Val walks over to him.

"Yeah," Uma agrees before Mal looks over to Evie sadly.

"I get it," Evie says as she stands as well.
