The increasing water gradually forms a storm, and it only gets bigger. Eventually, it explodes, drenching the boat and everyone inside with water. From below the surface comes Uma. Now her tentacles resembled those of her mother.

"The kiss of true love cannot overcome this. My name will be known worldwide! "Aaah!" Uma's tentacle whizzed by and began to upset the boat a little. Mal began to pace up and down, her emerald eyes growing brighter by the moment.

A purple fog rises, and Mal disappears. Rather, everyone backs up as a dragon now emerges. Uma is driven wild by Mal's fire spit, which makes her lash out at her with another tentacle. "Mal, hurry up! Let's get this resolved once and for all." Uma made fun of it all.

"Watch out!" Ben shouted. The boat was heaving side to side.

But Ben rushed to the edge to get a better look at the fighting. Suddenly, almost like a roar, Rowan heard Ben shout. With confusion, she frowned and wondered what Ben had planned. She was shocked to see him leap over the railing and into the ocean.

Now Ben appears of the water between Mal and Uma. "Mal! Uma!" With a quick look at the two girls, he said, "Stop! Give in."

"What are you gonna do, Ben?" Uma chuckles at that. "Splash me?" She asked, mockingly, as she placed her hands on her waist. She laughed harder the more she splashed the water.

Mal follows Ben down to the water's edge in case Uma tries anything further. "Enough now! It must end! This is not the solution. Ben yells, looking at Uma and then Mal in turn.

Uma swings back and forth, her eyes riveted on Mal. "The conflict needs to end! In this manner, nobody prevails! We must respect and listen to one another." The two girls continued to stare at one other as Ben talked.

"Let's have the courage to try even if it won't be simple. Uma, you want what's best for the Isle, I know that. Aid me in changing things." Ben looked up at Uma. Her eyes widened at him for continuing to treat her nicely.

Uma stepped closer to Ben's outstretched arm with the one curled tentacle, and Mal growled, warning him once more. Rowan watched Uma transfer a small item to Ben's hand. Then she silently lets out a tiny sigh and gives Ben a smile. She turns her back on him and plunges in.

After losing himself in his thoughts for some time, Ben swam back towards the boat. Before the two proceeded to grab Ben a ladder, Jay gave Carlos a brief slap on the arm.

As Jay and Carlos tossed the ladder aside, it clapped against the waves. Ben is moving upward as Rowan looks over the rail.

Ben put his crown back on his head and everyone applauded him on when he finally made it to the top. A loud screech pierced the air and everyone gazed up at the sky. With a soft thump, she landed on the boat and Rowan gazed up at the dragon that was descending, Mal. A plume of purple smoke surrounded her, revealing her return to human form.

She looked down at her new purple Cotillion dress and patted out the little fires that had started on her garment.

Ben chuckled a little and had a humorous exchange with Mal. Pulling herself together, she met Ben's eyes and smiled brightly, her palm resting over her lips. Then Ben lowered himself with his hands out to the sides while Mal took hold of her dress's hem and knelt down tastefully.

Mal approached Ben and looked down at her, and Ben smiled. Mal breathed a sigh of relief, but her breath turned into a gasp when Ben grabbed her by the waist and brought her in close for a passionate kiss.

"I owe you guys so much." Ben said, looking around him while he talked. Everyone laughed and nodded in good spirits, and Carlos clapped each of his shoulders.

"Just a little bit."

"If there is anything that you need, or anything I can do for you..."

"Um, actually, there is, Ben." As Evie spoke, the king turned to face her, and she said as much. "There is a girl I know who would adore visiting Auradon. It's Dizzy, Drizella's daughter. I consider her to be my little sister." Evie continued.

"Then she should come."

"Actually, um.. Ben, there's a lot of kids who would really love it here in Auradon. Kids just like us, who also deserve a second chance. Can I maybe get you a list? " she said to which Ben nodded which made her filled with excitement.

Rowan cast her gaze over the water to the island of the lost. She couldn't help but see how sad everyone was that these regulations had taken away their one opportunity at independence.

"I recognise that expression." She was caught off guard by a voice. She turned to see her dad standing there, grinning broadly as usual.

"Dad, you say that a lot these days." With a quiet voice, she turned back to face the lake.

"Your mother had the same look on her face when she was considering whether or not to come down from her tower." Eugene chuckled at the recollection.

Rowan looked across to her mother, who was raving about something that Evie had told her. She gave her mother's enthusiasm a small smile. "Sounds like her."

"So what's causing you to become unsure?" He leant on the railing and inquired, his eyes on his daughter.

"This is going to sound really awkward, but I find this person on the isle fascinating, but you know, he's from the isle, and I'm from Corona." she claimed, her father simply grinned at her for being so similar to her mother.

"Rowan, from my own experience, you have to have a leap of faith in order to achieve your goals. I pursued a crown but ultimately discovered what I truly desired. Go after what you desire if you have it." Before heading back to the celebration, he murmured this while planting a kiss on her forehead.

Harry Hook stood on the deck and stared out into the water while he thought about Rowan. Recalling the fair-haired princess. "This is not finished yet." He whispered.

"The end is not imminent." Before heading back in the direction of the gathering, she muttered to no one as she smiled to herself, Harry hook smirked to himself as he turned around to face the crew and barked orders in Uma's absence.
