"Do we really have to deal with Regina now?", the Savior asked with a frown.

The Queen of Arendelle replied,

"Emma, the only way to remove Ingrid's binding is to destroy them with another's magic. Right now the only one who can do that is Regina. And since she's being affected by Shattered Sight, we'd have to make her angry enough to use her powers on us."

Emma gulped as she processed Elsa's plan. "Our mission: send the Evil Queen into a homicidal rage. Should be fun."

The two women combined their powers to lower the magical barrier surrounding Regina's crypt and warily stepped inside.

"Well", said Emma quietly, "I don't see her anywhere. Not sure if that's better or worse for us."

"It's about time, Miss Swan", came a sardonic voice from the back of the crypt. "I do hate being kept waiting."

Emma took a tentative step forward. "Look, Regina, I didn't come here to fight-"

"Of course you did!", Regina growled in a voice Emma had only heard when she saw the Evil Queen in action in the past. "The question is: about what? Did you finally get a clue about the Sheriff?"

Regina's response caught her up short for a moment. The Sheriff…but she was the Sheriff. Unless…

"Graham?" Emma felt a lump in her throat as she remembered the first man of many that died in her arms. The Evil Queen flashed a grin so sinister it bordered on psychotic.

"Is that what name was? Graham, Huntsman…Sex Kitten- all relative terms. He disobeyed me, and I punished him for it. You seem confused, so let me explain this in a way even you can understand: I killed him."

Regina casually pulled a box from a shelf while Elsa laid a gentle hand on Emma's arm; her whole body had begun to shake. The empty heart-box was covered in a thin layer of dust. Inside the inscription read 'Graham Humbert/Huntsman'.

"Ah, here it is", Regina announced with an unsettling gleam in her eye.

"My first kill since casting the curse. It was…invigorating! I can't believe you never pieced it together, Sheriff Swan. Did you really believe your Puppy-Dog predecessor bit the dust from a heart attack?"

Elsa could see the fury in Emma's eyes and blocked her view of Regina. "Remember what we came for, Emma. Please don't do anything you'll regret."

Regina shoved Elsa away with a flick of her wrist. The magical cuffs dragged Emma to her knees next to her. She didn't get up. Instead she looked down at the hands that held Graham as he took his last breath. She remembered clinging to him long after he'd let go. She now looked up into the gleeful eyes of his killer…and she let go.

Bursts of white-hot magic shot out from her hands, her eyes, and her mouth as she howled in grief. In heartbreak. In fury. Her fury guided her as she began striding towards Regina, towing Elsa along with her. Light bulbs exploded and sparks flew through the air as Emma stalked forward.

"You forced him into bed with you for twenty-eight years, and once he realized who you really were you murdered him!" Emma put emphasis on each word she spat at the Evil Queen.

"Every man I have ever loved has died in my arms, Regina! You crushed Graham's heart out of petty jealousy and spite to protect your damn curse. Because no one can ever be happy but you!" As she crept closer towards Regina she found herself shouting.

"You think you're entitled to a 'happy ending' when you haven't done jack shit to earn one! What about all the people you've killed? What about all these hearts you still have locked up? Where is their 'happy ending, Regina? You have ruined so many lives without paying a damn thing! But you will pay the price today."

Fury revved in both women at precisely the same moment. Fire connected with electricity so fiercely that all three of them slammed backwards at once. Elsa's powers shielded them from most of Regina's flames, but not before it'd reached their hands. Ingrid's bracelets were incinerated by the blow. Free of the restraint Emma immediately pounced on Regina, who was still recovering from the blast. Elsa attempted to pry her away, but a blind fury ravaged her heart the moment she realized the truth about Graham's fate.

Emma's fist crashed into Regina's face one, two, three times. Pretty soon she lost count. Regina kicked and scratched but remained pinned under her weight. She gathered a mouthful of blood and spat it in Emma's face. Regina got up and tried to escape when she was body slammed mid-teleport. The blonde yanked the former queen up by her hair and pressed a gun under her chin.

"Emma no!", Elsa screamed. She ran up to where they'd been fighting in tears. "This is what Ingrid wants; for everyone to destroy each other!"

"Shattered Sight doesn't affect me", she answered flatly. Her hand lingered over the trigger.

"But it affects her! It wouldn't be fair to kill someone under a curse in cold blood."

"Just like it isn't fair to slaughter villages, lock up innocent people, have a sex slave and kill him when he's no longer useful?"

The Savior grew eerily calm as she seriously contemplated killing Regina.

Elsa tried to get through to her friend one last time. "Emma, if you do this you will be just as bad as she is! Don't let anger and grief let you make the same mistakes that I did. I know you're hurting, Emma. But you can choose to walk away. You can choose love." She held out her hand, and her to joyous surprise Emma lowered the gun, released her grip on Regina, and took Elsa's hand. The two women disappeared in a flash of light, leaving a bloodied Regina glaring after them.
