Mal felt the prize slipping away from her, but at the very last second, she chanted the spell again, forcing her immense will on the trident. Suddenly, it hurtled toward her like a missile.

"Ooh, it came that fast."

Mal gasped as the trident slammed into her palm, and she clenched her fist around it. It jerked and twisted in her grasp, and Mal could see powerful energy waves around it, attempting to pull it in the opposite direction. Mal tried to hold it both hands, but the energy from Uma's necklace pulled off her left glove, sending it soaring away.

Mal yanked the trident through the hole in the barrier. "I've got it!"

"Yes, we can see that!" Emir said with a chuckle, as they celebrate.

"Wait, I thought you said that only descendants of you are the only ones that can lifted it?" One of his grandsons asked.

"It is," Triton said, a bit shock. Mal is more powerful than I thought.

"The barrier!" Carlos reminded her.

"Thank you Carlos." Beast muttered. He then rubbed his side after Belle elbowed him in the side for that being his main concern at a time like this.

"Elf and gnome, close this dome!" she yelled, and the hole in the invisible barrier shut with a snap. The magnetic energy around the trident immediately disappeared, and her hand dropped suddenly as the tension vanished. The shock of it sent her flying into Evie, who fell overboard.

"WHAT!"

M clutched the trident and crouched on top of the boat, searching the churning ocean. "EVIE!" she screamed. "EVIE, NO!"

Jay steered the boat around the waves as they frantically searched for their friend.

"EVIE!" called Jay.

"Evie, come on!" yelled Carlos.

Come back to me, Mal thought fiercely, hanging on to the edge of the railing. Come back, Evie. She wished so hard, she thought her head would explode; still there was nothing but the raging sea and the crash of thunder and lightning.

"You guys," said Jay. "The storm is just getting stronger. We're going to sink."

"Thank so much for making us all worry." Emir said sarcastically.

"I think I saw her over there!" yelped Ben. "Circle around."

"EVIE!" Mal cried. "Where are you?"

"I have the same question?" David said, very worried for his sister in law.

But still there was nothing. The largest wave they'd ever seen rose from the ocean and slammed hard onto the boat, throwing them against each other.

"I can't keep us afloat much longer!" Jay cried. Just when it seemed they were going to capsize, Evie emerged from the water, her arms flailing. Mal was spent from using her magic, and fell limply against the railing.

"Help her! I don't know what to do," she cried, keeping a tight grip on the trident.

"Yes please help her."

But her friends picked up the slack, moving with precise urgency. "We're too far away for her to swim," said Ben. "Quick, Carlos, grab a life ring. Jay, you have the best arm, throw it to her!"

Ben took the wheel of the speedboat while Jay tossed the orange floatie as far as he could. "EVIE! GRAB IT!"

Evie caught the ring with one hand and held on, keeping her head above the waves.

"PULL!" yelled Ben, steering the boat as Jay and Carlos tugged mightily on the rope, bringing Evie back despite the waves and the rain, inch by inch, until at last she was floating by their side.

Her family sighed in relief at the sight of Evie safe and sound, Snow White became un-paled at the sight of her little sister being safe.

"Evie! I thought we'd lost you!" Mal cried joyfully, tears of relief falling down her cheeks and mingling with the rain as she leaned over to help Carlos and Jay haul her back onto the boat. "Are you okay?"

"You're okay, you're okay," said Carlos, smacking Evie's back to help her cough up seawater.

"Good boy." Anita muttered, happy that the kids are safe.

"Here," said Jay, handing Evie a warm towel he'd run to grab from belowdecks and helping Carlos drape it over her shoulders.

Evie leaned on Mal, still shaky on her feet. "I'm okay, thanks to you guys."

"Make sure, she goes to the nurse just to check." Persephone suggested.

Mal gave Evie a tight hug. "I don't know what I would do without you! Don't ever scare me like that again."

"Ever again." said everyone who cares about Evie.

"You scared all of us," said Ben, letting Jay steer the boat once more. "That was intense. But you got it, Mal?"

"I got it," she said, handing him the trident.

"We did it," Ben said.

"That you did."

"We did it," she said, not quite believing it, as Ben held the golden trident in his hands.

Triton's eyes twisted in confusion, how did Ben left it?

"We did it together," He nodded. Then he turned to Jay, who was back at the wheel. "Come on, let's get out of here before we sink."

"You better do that because if you don't..." Emir began.

"You'll have us to deal with!" Akiho finish.

Then it hit Triton, Mal was first holding the trident, and she is clearly powerful to left it without having to be his descendant. Her powers made Ben been able to left it also not having to be his descendant.
