(Fanfics 10: thanks so much! Your kind words really do mean a lot!

PopPotter777: to be honest, season 6 is my favorite of the entire show, but of course we can't all like the same things. About your questions, well, they're all answered in this chapter.

When I finished writing this, I realized that this chapter turned out to be huge and much bigger than what I was hoping, so I decided to divide it in two. Because I am not that much of a bad person, I decided to publish both parts on the same day. Hope you enjoy!)

When Adda walked back into his new house with Lily, he found a nasty surprise: both Cruella and Rumple were gone. Sure Adda liked Cruella, she was almost just like s recent self, but ultimately he cared for no one but himself. He hired a few minions, but that was only to try and dodge some attention from himself. And it seemed to be working because while Adda only had to wait a few hours to see his plan finally come true, the so-called heroes were opening portals to the Underworld. And Adda could almost bet his life that that was the reason why they took Cruella: so they could trade her life for Snow's. But it's not like Adda cared of course. Snow or no Snow, they still didn't have what it took to defeat him. And that would never change because he was just too powerful.

And while he was there laughing about how they thought they could defeat him, Adda's mind started slipping back into the past. Back to when he was first imprisoned. Merlin may have been a war hero turned prisoner, but Adda definitely wasn't. They say that in war every life counts, but clearly that hadn't been true for everyone. They were so desperate for more men to join the ongoing war between the two villages, that Adda's own people, his own friends murdered his wife and son, making it seem like it was the other side. Because in life there always has to be two teams and one can only stay neutral for so long, Adda joined the army to get revenge. That, until he found out the truth. They couldn't have a traitor amongst them, so they threw his ass in jail, not realizing they were the one who were traitors.

Adda vowed revenge on them all, and that was still going to happen because he wasn't happy when he saw all of them die. Not when most of them lived a long and almost happy life. But with his new power, he could do anything. He could change anything. He was so powerful, he could do whatever he wanted. And that was what was coming to them. To all of them who had any part in his family's murder, if even if didn't yet occur in the time he was traveling to.

He was ripped from his thought when he felt the shield around the house start weakening. And before he even got outside, he could feel his shield was gone. Could Regina and the others be so stupid as to have planned another battle against him? Because Adda was completely sick of them and their failing attempts to always be on top. He walked outside and wasn't surprised when he saw Regina in the middle of the road with an object he had never seen in her hands, almost like a small crystal ball. "Did you come here so I could finish you off? It seems your son isn't here to protect you this time!" Adda stepped outside and slowly started walking to her. The shield was down so there was no excuse to stay home. Not to mention that be definitely wasn't afraid of her. "What kind of little toy is that you decided to bring this time?"

Regina turned to him smirking. Her whole body shaking slightly with the adrenaline running around it. That was it. Even though maybe he didn't notice, those stupid opening words of Adda started the battle. In just a few moments, it would either be them or him. And whatever happened, Regina was glad knowing she at least tried. "Oh this? Just a little something a friend of mind brought all the way from New York. It sucks magic spells." With the ball in her hand, Regina smirked, looked at it and with just a thought made it shatter into a million pieces. "And now your little shield is gone. How are you gonna protect yourself from us now?"

Adda giggled at Regina's little joke. Why would he even need to protect himself from them? He had only created the shield to make sure they didn't break into his house when he was gone. "Protect myself from you? Why would I ever need something as foolish as that? You don't scare me Regina."

Adda could already feel what she was planning to do. With just a few hours before Zelena's magic returned to him, the heroes would throw everything they had his way. Maybe that could in fact turn out to be a problem, because Adda knew more than anyone that they did in fact had what it took to take him down. But unlike him, they didn't know what that was. And he was sure they would never even think about using it. Before Regina had time to do anything, Adda started calling Lily with his mind. Maybe she wasn't that powerful, but if they were gonna show what they had, Adda was definitely planning to do the same.

"Looking for me?"

Adda turned to his left, and saw Lily standing there right next to Maleficent. Maybe she wasn't as useless as he thought. After all, it seemed she did manage to recruit her mother. "Lily! Can you actually believe these people think they can take me down?"

"Maybe we can actually!" Maleficent raised an eyebrow to him and smirked. The moment Regina had left her house after she proposed an alliance, Maleficent knew she had to help. She couldn't just sit around while Adda manipulated her daughter.

Adda almost couldn't believe it. His own daughter and her mother were gonna sit with the enemy? Traitors! Adda may have felt betrayed, but he was still confident no one could stop him. "You're playing with the enemy now I see! You'll get what's coming to you. Cheaters never win." And then it hit him: of course she was working for them the whole time! How else would Regina and the others know Cruella and Rumple would be alone in his house?

After that, Adda started seeing lots of people come out of buildings, from the roads nearby… everywhere. They all walked and stayed beside and behind Regina. "Quite a squad you have there, Regina. But ask yourself this: do you think that will be enough to take me down? Because if it's not, be sure that none of you will come out of here alive!"

"Why wouldn't we win? We have everything it takes: power, family and the numbers, because just look around me" Regina opened her arms and smiled brightly, loving every single second of it "and look at you. All alone!"

Adda's smirk slowly started disappearing. He knew he couldn't lose. Not when he was so close to getting what he wanted. But Regina was right: he was definitely outnumbered. But maybe not for long. Adda closed his and a few seconds from then, about half a dozen doppelgangers of himself stood next to him. "Not so lonely now!" Adda looked back at Regina as he realized she totally didn't see that coming. They say that if you want something done right, you should do it yourself, and in that night, that was exactly what Adda was planning to do.

With Adda wanting to play a hard game, Regina knew there was no time to lose. She turned her head to the people behind her, and simply nodded. It was time.

Not taking her eyes off the real Adda not even for a second, Zelena walked straight to him and stopped when she was a few feet away. "Well, well, well! Come back to get your ass kicked?" Adda turned to Zelena in the moment his smirk started growing back. They were all so pathetic.

"More like to kick some ass. Your ass, if you didn't realize that yet!" Zelena smirked back at him and looked at her sister, ready to receive the 'go' at any moment.

Emma walked passed Regina and Zelena and stood in her position. She looked at her arm and the cuff in it, the one which was supposed to increase her powers a little. Everyone hated the idea of her fighting when she was so weak, but none of them dared to fight her stubbornness for long. First, because they knew they would never convince Emma Swan to do something she didn't want to. Second, because they needed all the help they could get possibly get. Maybe they could do it without Emma, but at the same time they couldn't risk it.

And with this in mind, everyone started walking to their positions. Rumple just couldn't wait to clean that little stupid smile off Adda's face. He would definitely love to end him once and for all, for everything he put him through. Meanwhile, like everyone Elsa, Adda was excited to finally put down that guy. Even though it didn't really seem so, that was also personal for her, because Adda hurt her friend. And Elsa would never let it go.

And while at this, everyone else found their own positions: the Dragon, Maleficent, Lily and the fairies, including Blue, Nova and Tinkerbelle. All of these forming a circle around Adda to make sure he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. "Oh, this is just adorable" Adda said, trying not to pass on that he was actually starting to fear they would succeed. Even with all his doppelgangers. Because even though they could fight, Adda knew he couldn't distribute his magic through them. He would need it all for himself.

All of them ignored Adda's comment, looking straight at Regina, and when she nodded, they all started blasting Adda with their magic: light magic, dark, ice… Adda was gonna get it all. But a few seconds after they started, they realized they hadn't planned for every scenario, because they surely didn't see that coming: the scenario where Adda actually started laughing, like they were doing nothing but tickle him.

With everyone forming a circle around Adda, the warriors of the team knew what they had to do: keep Adda's doppelgangers busy. They quickly divided themselves in 6 teams: David and Henry; Mulan and Belle; Snow and Robin; while Red, Hook and Dorothy fought alone.

And as matter of fact, Red really did make a fine team of her own, because as she was headed to one, she let down her cape and started running, her eyes starting to glow, and when she got to him she had already turned into a wolf, and she jumped to him.

But there was something they soon realized: it isn't easy fighting an immortal, even when he has no magic. No matter how many cuts they made, how many arrows they shot nor how much they teared them apart with their teeth, the Addas always kept standing and fighting back. And the weirdest thing about all of it was that, while the original Adda laughed inside the circle, all of his doppelgangers kept laughing along as they took the hits and tried to hit back. And it got to a point where it wasn't an amused laugh anymore, it was a very psychotic one.

"We can't fight them forever!" David screamed in the middle of all that chaos. He and Henry were actually being able to strike without being stroke back, the boy was really getting good, but, clearly unlike Adda, they were getting tired.

"We just need to hold them off till the others kill him. Once he dies, they will all disappear." What Snow had just said in that moment, didn't really add anything new, because it was clear to all that would happen. What they didn't even want to consider was what would become of them if the others didn't manage to kill Adda. Because then, they knew there would be no mercy on their part.

Like everyone else, Regina continued to blast Adda with everything she had. She even started fighting harder when he started laughing, but that didn't seem to have done anything. If Henry was right, that was their final battle, but while at it, Regina couldn't help but think that could have a whole different meaning, because that would be indeed their final battle if none of them survive to fight any other. Adda didn't seem to be getting much weaker, but everyone around him clearly was. There was only so much time they could continue with that, and if Adda didn't die before that happened, then they would all be the ones taking a one-way trip to the land of the dead.
