Prologue:
Regina watched them run away. A tear rolled down her cheek. She knew that she would never see Henry again. She hurt so many people and destroyed so many lives. She deserved to be called the Evil Queen. This is her time to prove to Henry that she can be good, even if it means dying. She was determined to make sure that Henry got to live the life he deserved.
Regina flicked her wrist. Vines exploded out of the ground and grabbed the lost boys, paralyzing them. Regina ran through the jungle, throwing fireballs behind her as she ran. She was exhausted. Every ounce of magic that she had she was channeling towards the lost boys. She had to admit that it felt good. Her magic had grown stronger since she was using it out of love for Henry and not for evil. An arrow came shooting towards her. Regina grabbed it out of the air and set it on fire, then she sent it back at the lost boys. She reached out her left hand and thrust it into someone's chest. She was unsure whose heart she had just taken, but she didn't care. She had to do whatever was needed to make sure that Henry got away. She crushed the heart and then threw another fireball.
They all ran as fast as they could. Hook was checking the trees as they made their way through the jungle. He had informed them that the only way to open a portal was to use pixie dust. Unfortunately, pixies aren't always generous. They had only been known to willingly give their dust to those who performed a worthy task. Since none of them had done that, they had no choice. They must steal pixie dust, and a lot of it.
"Will my mom be okay?" Henry asked for the fifth time.
"Your mother is going to make sure that we get out okay, and she is willing to do whatever she needs to." Mr. Gold said.
"But will she be o…"
"Henry, you must stay quiet. We don't want to scare off the pixies." Hook spat out.
Emma grabbed Henry's hand and pulled him through the jungle.
Regina saw Hook's ship as she broke through the jungle. She didn't understand. They should have left over an hour ago. She was terrified. All the magic she had been using was making it hard for her to keep going.
Regina turned around and faced all the lost boys. She thought of Henry and the ten years she spent with him. Every hug, every kiss, every time she watched him learn something new. She channeled every last bit of energy that she had and shot it towards the lost boys. Fire, wind, and electricity went shooting towards the jungle in a wave of pure magic. Then, Regina collapsed.
Mr. Gold, the Charmings, Hook , and Henry looked over the side of the ship and saw a wave a magic sweep through the jungle. It was amazing.
"I always knew she was powerful." Mr. Gold said in awe. He was deeply impressed. Regina had accomplished something even he might not have been able to do. Then, she collapsed into a lifeless heap on the ground.
A bloodcurtling scream came from Henry. "No! Mom!" He started to sob. Emma turned to Henry and caught him before he fell to the ground. Snow started to cry. Regina may have tried to kill her for years, but she still had love for her. She still held out hope that they could be family. Regina had proved that she changed. She had saved everyone's life multiple times since they came to Neverland. Snow looked up and saw a cloud of light.
Hook couldn't believe it. A fantastic cloud of magical light was shooting toward Regina. It picked her up. Magic engulfed her. It seemed to shoot through her. As she was lifted into the air, Hook could just make out forms. The magic was from the pixies. It was obvious to Hook that the pixies had deemed her actions that of a pure sacrifice. They may all be able to leave because of Regina. The pixies moved towards the ship and gently placed Regina onto the deck. She looked beautiful, like she was sleeping. As the pixies moved away Hook saw something on Regina's chest. It was a vile. He picked it up and examined it.
"Pixie dust." Hook said to the group.
"The pixies must have decided that Regina's sacrifice was noble." Mr. Gold responded.
Hook opened the vile and poured it into the water. A portal opened. Everyone grabbed onto something and Snow grabbed Regina. The ship rode into the portal. For a moment everything was dark. Once light came back they looked out over the water and saw land.
"I had Belle put up a protection spell to keep people out of Storybrooke. There seems to be enough pixie dust left for me to make a temporary break in it so that we may get through." Mr. Gold said to the group. Snow hugged her family.
"We're home." She choked out through happy tears. Hook started to steer the ship towards what he knew would be his new home. Storybrooke.
