The group was jogging rapidly towards the large, burnished entrance. Golden torches flickered at the end of every hallway as they whizzed around every stony corner to get out of this literal hell hole and back to Storybrooke. Charming and Snow were in their lead, bow and sword drawn, closely followed by Killian and Emma. Regina and Robin were following up the back closely while Davy hung back a few steps, in deep contemplation considering they could all bekillied in a split second.

Killian grabbed Emma's arm. "Why can't we just open the portal here, Emma". She shook her head. " You can't open a portal from inside The Underworld. We need to be off the shores, that's why we brought the ship". Killian nodded and squeezed her hand. "Don't worry, Love. We'll get home to your lad". She smiled lightly. "I know".

No sooner were the words out of her mouth when Snow called from the front. "Everyone get back as fast as you can". At the opening of the prison just several hundred yards in front were a half dozen Furies. Their leather wings outstretched, their ivory fangs bared and their cobalt eyes flashing dangerously like neon signs. Their turned back to run in the opposite direction, Robin and Regina now leading the party back into the depths of the confinement, only to be corned by another dozen Furies. They were outnumbered and there was nothing that they could possibly do. The Furies are creatures of Hades, they can't be killed.

***Several Hours Later***

Regina paced the cell from side to side, running her hand along the cold stone wall that each of them had been pushed through by some skeltal guard. She was deep in thought and trying to find some loophole in the enchantments that The Furies had placed on the cell door in the name of Hades, to stop her or Emma from using their magic to simply blast it wide open. They were moved from the prison just off if Asphodel to the dungeons deep below Hades Palace, which was only fit for the godly and the dead. It would nor be long until they had exhausted their oxygen supply.

Robin watched her helplessly from the wooden bench the ran closest to the entrance. Snow was talking quietly with Charming in one corner of the cell while Davy was looking out the small and barred window which opened out upon a sheer drop and a pit of flames, The Fields of Punishment.

The room seemed to be airtight. The dungeon of Hades was built for the dead not the living and it was getting harder to breathe. It was a truly nast place what with the sulphurous smell and the cries of tortured souls in the distance. Skeltal warriors guarded the only exit. The wore tattered US Army desertcombat fatigues and carried M16s.

Killian varied between throwing looks of shock and distrust towards his father and drawing small, soothing circles on the back of Emma's hand. She turned her head towards him and smiled sadly. Neither of them had to say anything. He has always said that she is an open book to him, well, the book opens both ways.

"You shouldn't have come, Love. You should be back in Storybrooke with your boy". Emma shook her head and to avoid what he said countinued. "Henry helped to plan most of this rescue mission, you know. He even called it Operation Phoenix. Killian smiled. "A very smart lad, just like his mother. Emma smiled. "And as for me coming here. I had to. I can't lose you, Killian. Point blank. You're keeping your promise". He shook his head in remberance of his vow to her to always survive for her and kissed the knuckle of her index finger. "Where would I be without you, Lass". She smiled and added."We're gonna get out of here and go home, somehow". He nodded, taking her hand with his good one. "Course we are, Swan".

Regina had just given up on finding a way around the enchantments when footsteps echoed in the hallway from what sounded like the other side of the wall. A hooded black figure floated through the stony pillar into the centre of the room. It's face was cloaked with flowing charcoal material. It's hands were ghostly white. The figure first turned to Killian and began to speak in a whisper so quiet it could be mistaken for wind, but the accent was unmistakable. "Brother, there's one way out".

Killian stared in disbelief as the hooded figure pulled the material from his face to reveal bright blue eyes just like his own and a jet black mop of unruly curly hair. He looked exactly as he had on the day he died only more transparent. Snow, Charming and Robin stood in shock while Regina shook her head as if to say their trip to The Underworld should have been renamed to be The Unofficial Jones's Family Reunion.

Emma looked from Killian to Liam, recognising him immediately from the stories that Killian had told her during their quieter moments last year when they were talking about their respective pasts, about what made them who they are today. She immediately knew that this was Killian's brother and biggest role model as a child.

Liam briefly looked around the room his eyes briefly landing coldly on his father and taking in the faces of the others present, smiling when his eyes fell on Killian and Emma's intertwined fingers. "There's no time for introductions" he said. "You all need to get out of her as soon as humanly possible".

Regina scowled. "How do we know we can even trust you. For all we know you could be another one of those Furies in a different form who is just going to trick us". Regina may have continued for longer but Snow held up a hand to silence her. "What other choice do we have". Emma nodded again looking from Killian to her parents to Liam's spirit. "We don't have much time anyway, a half an hour or more. After that all the air wil have left the room and we'll be screwed either way". Killian and David nodded in grim agreement.

Robin turned to Liam. "So what's this plan of yours". Liam glanced quickly through the wall to ensure the coast was clear. He turned back to the group whonwere looking at him expectantly. "There's a tunnel" he said. "Called the Labyrinth. It can take you anywhere in this world. It has several openings, entrances and exits all dispersed around you should be able to find a way".

Regina scowled. "That would be a brilliant plan if we were from this world. We came though a portal". Liam seemed unfazed by the lack of confidence."There's another opening not far from the harbour where you anchored The Jewel. You should be able to get to it".

Snow nodded, convinced. "Where do we have to go to find this entrance". She asked. Liam pointed towards the ceiling up above. "There is an entrance in Hades palace, it's a trapdoor in the grate of his fireplace". Emma looked upwards, concerned. "Are you sure there's no other way. From what I saw Hades palace looks like it's security is almost as good as The White House". Liam nodded not knowing what The White House is but getting the general gist. "Sorry Lass. There's no other way that I'm aware of".

Killian stared at his brother, the astonishment not yet haven worn off. "How did you come upon this, brother". Liam smiled humorlessly. "Completely by accident about a hundred years ago, little brother". Killian smirked, although he would have denied it, the nicknames and teasing was one of the things he missed most about not having Liam around. "How many times have I told you. I'm your younger brother".

Regina scowled half heartedly. "You two can catch up when we can all breath freely again. Let's get the hell out of here". Liam nodded. "All right then". So with a little assistance from Liam they were all at the other side of the wall and making their way down the corridor.

A/N: I know this chapter was a bit short but the next one will be up really soon.
