"Robin?" said Regina who was quite in shock since he was supposed to be dead, "I said hand over your valuables!" shouted Robin Hood. "He's not real Regina, just an illusion like my parents and everything else here" said Emma in a reminding tone. "But….." Regina sighed and said "You're right, Robin's gone and magic can't bring back ones destroyed by the Olympian Crystal". "You do realize I'm standing right here, don't you?" Robin said in an irritated tone "You are but you're fake, an illusion created by the Evil Queen to make me suffer in hopes that I'll merge with her and become the Evil Queen again. But that won't happen… Do it Emma" Said Regina as she closed her eyes to not see Emma cast a disintegrating spell on Robin Hood. "Sorry you had to see him die again Regina" said Emma as she placed her hand on Regina "It's fine. He was just an illusion and we need to move on", said Regina with a small tear in her eye. "Kinda hard to do that without a portal, and I really don't wanna make another deal with Gold" said Emma, "Actually, we might not need to. If Robin was alive, then so is the Apprentice which means his wand will be here too" said Regina with a smirk

"G-gideon?" asked Belle in a surprised voice. "Yes mother, it is me" said Gideon in a dark and sinister voice, "What happened to you?" Rumpelstiltskin asked his son, demanding to know. "You abandoned me for power, like you did to everyone else" said Gideon, "And now you will die because of his lust for power" said a mysterious voice as the Dark One's Dagger pierced Gideon's throat. "Gideon!" screamed Belle as her only son fell to the floor, "Who are you?!" yelled Rumpelstiltskin. The figure removed his hood to reveal a teenager no older than eighteen years old "The new Dark One, you may call me Charlie" said Charlie.
In the alternate Enchanted Forest
Emma knocked on the door of the Apprentice's house, "Hello Emma, I've been expecting you for years" the Apprentice said as he let Emma and Regina enter his home. "We're sorry to bother you, but we need your wand. It's our only way to get home" said Regina calmly and politely, "Oh I know, Merlin told me you two would be here if the Evil Queen wished for Emma to not be the Savior" said the Apprentice. Then the apprentice turned around and grabbed his wand which was sitting on a shelf collecting dust, "Take it, Merlin said that if Emma was never sent through the Wardrobe, to never touch it until you two came here many years later" said the Apprentice with a sigh as he gave the wand to Regina. "Thank you sir" said Regina with a smile as she quickly opened the portal without a twister like Zelena prefers to do, "Now let's go home and kick the Evil Queen's ass" said Emma as she and Regina walked through the portal.

"You are not the Dark One, I am!" shouted Rumpelstiltskin, "You are, for now" chuckled Charlie. "What do you want?" asked Belle with a look of pure hatred and sadness, "Are you not paying attention? I said I want to become the Dark One, but first I have some pests to deal with" said Charlie as Emma and Regina appeared in Gold's shop through a portal. "Who are you?" asked Regina, "I am going to become the next Dark One, Stiltskin give me the Apprentice's wand and Zelena's wand!" shouted Charlie. "As you wish….." Rumpelstiltskin said with a growl as he used his magic to place both wands in Charlie's free hand, "Good boy" said Charlie in a devilish voice as he destroyed Zelena's wand and summoned a portal just as large as the one from the Dark Curse. "I hope you're ready to go back to the Enchanted Forest, Stiltskin. Because once we get there, the last thing you'll see is your dagger piercing your pitiful heart" said Charlie. "Who are you boy?" asked Rumpelstiltskin, "Your son had a son three years before Henry was born, that was me. He wasn't ready for a child so he sent me to an orphanage, the headmistress' heart was almost as dark as yours so her cruelty plus my dark blood turned me pure evil. A few days ago I heard about some big magic show in New York and saw your face under the headline, I did a bit of research and saw other magical things that were suspected you caused and escaped the orphanage to come here. After lurking in the shadows I found out you were the reason he abandoned me so now I will have my revenge" Charlie explained as the portal got closer.
