Chapter 4: For Love I Will Gladly Perish
No One's Pov
For the rest of the night Killian walked around the dead streets, taking in as much as he could before he sent himself back to the Underworld. That place may have given him the worst pain he's ever experienced in his life but he would gladly face the flames again if it mean his loved ones would be happy. Neal, Emma and Hnery would be family for real this time and Snow and David would have their daughter be with the man they wanted in the beginning. He would even be giving the Dark One a happy ending by giving him back his son, maybe then his heart would be healed.
It was sunrise by the time Hook finished his tour so he made his way over to the pond, the last thing in life he would ever see. On the way over he made sure the steer clear of his former home, Regina's manor and the Charmings place. He hoped that he would not be caught until it was too late to stop him. They would hate him for it at first, then would come the sadness and finally they would find peace and move on. He knew his Swan, he knew that when he did this it would destroy any chance of Emma finding or even looking for love again. But he hoped that with Neal by her side things would be easier, she gave him a second chance so why not give one to the father of her child?
Speaking of children he was going to miss Henry. It had been a dream and an honor to be a father just once, even to a kid that wasn't his. But blood or no Henry was his son through and through, a true love that he has treasured even for a few short days. And yet he felt like he was being a burden now that there's a chance for him to have his real father back along with the other half of his heart. This way with all the danger he seems to get himself into he wouldn't be dragging Henry along with him.
Henry of course wasn't the only one he would miss. Neal, Snow, Charming, Robin, Belle, Regina and of course his beloved Emma. It broke his heart that he would be taking away her happiness yet again but with so much love already around her he hoped that one day peace would find her. But not matter what he would always love her, life and death meant nothing if the love is true enough. It's for that reason that his sacrifice will be worth it, because for love he's always willing to give his life.
The sunrise was upon him, painting the sky with beautiful colors, it was almost time. He stared out at the water and pulled out his trusty flask, he decided to drain it one last time. So for the next hour or two he took sip after sip till it was bone dry then he set it aside, a gift he hoped would be found by the prince. They had spent many nights drinking from it and letting go, whether it was during a time of peace or when they needed to relax during a time of stress, another thing he would miss when he left.
Another fog rolled in and with it came Hades, his hair set a blaze in a blue flame. Once he noticed who was standing there and alone no less the blames burned stronger and he smirked, a signature move that villains made when they acheived victory.
"Well well I must say I wasn't expecting this. And where's the cavalry, I was expecting magic, swords and arrows oh my!"
"I thought it best to do this alone"
"I bet they don't even know you're here. Oh this is too sweet! But since you're here I guess we should get this show on the road! Let's start with giving Henry that heart back" He moved forward and Killian was tempted to take a step back, go home and forget this ever happen but what's done is done. He made his choice so now it was time to go through with it despite his fears.
Hades plunged his hand into Hook's chest but before he pulled it out he had the decency to look at Killian as if asking one last time if this is what he truly wanted because after he took the heart out there was really no turning back.
"Do it"
"No!"
Hades was suddenly flung back and landed in the shallow water. They both turned sharply to see Henry, Emma, Neal, Regina, Belle ,Snow and Charming running towards them while Rumplestilskin trailing behind the group. Immediately Emma and Henry pulled Killian into a hug and practically dragged him away, then came the scolding from all parties. They all told him that he was crazy and doing something like this was stupid and irresponsible because he wasn't thinking about himself or the people who loved him and that's where he drew the line.
"Stop!" They all stared at him with stunned silence. This was good because it gave Killian the opportunity to finally let out what he's been feeling.
"Listen, I know you all think this isn't for the best and that I'm not thinking about you but you're wrong. The reason I am doing this is because I have been thinking about you. Emman, Henry, Bae: you all deserve to be a family again. So many things have torn you apart and that is not fair, this is a chance for things to change, for you to get what you've deserved for years and I want to make that happen so please let me go for your future. Snow and David, I know that in the beginning this is what you would have wanted and a part of me believes that you still want it because no one will ever be good enough for Emma, no me or Neal. But Neal is the father of your grandson and I'm just a reformed pirate with a hook for a hand, what do I know about family? Nothing, that's why Henry is keeping his father and not a father figure. You two are all about happiness and I believe this will one day bring Emma the most happiness and I hope that one day you'll forgive me for this and not because I'm your friend but because of the pain this will cause your daughter. Regina, I've treasured our friendship when we were villains and now as heroes. You are truly a remarkable woman and we've both come so far, from heroes to villains all for love and happiness and I truly hope that you stay on that path for me and for Henry. Belle, I will forever be sorry for the mess I've made of your relationship with Rumplestilskin and I know you don't blame me but I do. You are beautiful inside and out, I couldn't have found a better person to be my friend. You are one of the people who helped me when I was missing Emma and that's something I will forever be greatful for. All I ask of you know is to be happy, with or without me and with or without the crocodile. And speaking of the crocodile don't screw this up or I'll claw my way out of the Underworld and kill you"
Everyone was in tears, except Gold of course but he was stunned into a daze. One of his worst enemies was dying so he could have his son back, Captain Hook was giving him what he wanted willingly. He would never thank him but he would alwasy remember what he did.
Suddenly Belle was in a fury and no one was prepared for her walking over and punching her ex husband in the face. But Robin and David did have to stop her from trying to beat him into a bloody pulp. They pulled her away but that didn't stop her from screaming at him.
"This is all your fault! Killian is killing himself because of you! People who love him are losing him because of you! Haven't you done enough to him?! He's left you alone and you can't do the same! I don't know why I ever loved you! I hate you!"
Both her, Gold and Hook were all crying, everyone else was tearing up except Hades who was starting to look bored and annoyed.
"Okay now that we've got all of that out of the way let's continue where we left off shall we?"
"You will not!" a booming voice sounded from above. A bolt of lightening came down and when the flash died down a man could be seen where the bolt struck the ground. He was tall with a long grey beard and large muscles, no one had to guess to know who this was.
"Zeus"
