Thank you for the reviews. I'm glad you are liking my little twists. Also want to thank to those who follow and favorite the story.

Really want to thank my beta, my cyber buddy, fiend89.

Enjoy


When Pan appeared in his campsite it was not much of a surprise to Wendy. When she felt the magic wave spread throughout the island, she knew Pan had obtained Henry's heart. Peter Pan has a golden glow vibrating off of him. She didn't think her hate for him could grow anymore, but it did. Pan has taken an innocent boy's heart for his own selfish ambitions.

Everyone freezes when it was Pan, not Emma and Regina, with Henry. No one dared to move a muscle as the teen leader had his eyes on Wendy.

"Ah Wendy," Pan smiles at seeing the hood finally off the girl, she always wore her hood up. He knew she conspired with the new group on the island, and has been planning against him. "I've missed you."

"I didn't miss you," Wendy says honestly. If it wasn't for her brother being wrapped around this bastard's finger, she would have never came back to this island.

"How can you say that when you came back?"

"You know why I came back," Wendy was no fool. She knew Pan knew everything that happens in Neverland. Nobody can hide from him. It's like the trees have eyes.

Pan turn to look at John and Michael Darling, Wendy's younger brothers. Having been heartbroken from Wendy's rejection, he wanted to make Wendy suffer. He convinced the two boys to follow him, and had them call for his shadow. One night, they call out "I believe" and they were brought here.

"This all could have been avoided if you just stayed with me," Pan points out, blaming Wendy's terrible decision to leave him.

"Neverland is a place for children to escape in their dreams. Not to escape their responsibilities in the real world," Wendy argues. This feels like deja-vu. The memories of the night she refused to stay in Neverland to be with Pan surfaced.

"No one should have to face what adulthood has in store for them," Pan snarls.

"But ripping them apart from their families and having them act like barbarians is better?" Wendy snaps at Pan. She wasn't going to take his childish views. He may be older, though he looks to be a teen, but she also lived a long time. She aged into a teen before finally finding a way back and she much more mature mentally.

"It matters not," Pan shrugs, not seeing a big deal. "I now have the power, and together we shall make this into a new Neverland. Rule together as long as we want."

"I don't care how more powerful you became," Wendy shakes her head. She rather die before being with him. Her heart still and forever will belong with Bael, even though he fall in love with another and had a child together. It is what she feels, and she's not going to change that. "I still don't want to be with you."

He grasps Wendy's wrist, clenching tightly, stopping her from escaping him. His eyes flash with the newly gained power burst. "You won't' have a choice."

"Hey!" Neal shouts, having come back from the journey to the Jolly Roger. "Let her go, Pan."

"You won't be taking her," Slightly states, a club in his hands.

"Back," a twin starts.

"Off," the other twin finishes.

"I am not smart," Cubby joins in the others in defending Wendy. "But even I know no means no."

Pan chuckles, finding this predicament funny. "And who is going to stop me?"

"You can't force someone to love you," Neal tells him from personal experience. Even though he found out Regina is his half-sister, he was still thinking of fighting for Emma's hand. He knew Regina would court Emma better than him, but he knew Emma wasn't that kind of girl. But when seeing the two together, and the way they look at each other, he knew he has no chance.

"That's what you think Baelfire," Pan laughs at how foolish the boy he knew a long time ago. Pulling Wendy against his body, who tried to fight against his grip as she tries to pull away from him, but he tightens his hold on her. "The boy who hates magic, thinks he knows about magic more than me, now that's funny."

"Don't do this Pan," Wendy asks of Pan to stop. "What happened to the Peter Pan I first met?"

"He died the day his love rejected him," Pan snarls, before disappearing from his campsite.

"No!" Slightly, the Twins, Nibs, and Cubby shouted, as they rush forward but were too late. Wendy wasn't in sight. Needing to take their anger out at something, or someone, they went to attack those who were still loyal to Pan.


Neverland

"Where the hell is Pan?" Regina grips the first lost boy she can get her hands on, pulling him close by his collar. Pan is going to pay for taking Henry's heart. She was tired of playing nice. He messed with the wrong villain's family. He is about to get the Evil Queen.

Charming takes Henry out of Emma's arm so she can go calm Regina before she murders everyone on the island. Emma places a calming touch on Regina's arm before her hand plunges into his chest. "Regina, wait. Let's save torturing for one person per mission. Save it for Pan, when we find him. Plus, I don't think torturing them is going to help this time."

"We tried cute and cuddly. It didn't work."

"It may be best not to use magic," Glinda warns, who still has Elphaba's head resting on her lap.

"What happened to her?" Regina demands an answer upon seeing her friend winded.

"Pan reversed the effect of magic," Tinkerbell fills her in. "Elphaba casted a spell and it backfired."

"Now I know what others felt when I sprang a tornado on their asses," Elphaba says weakly, as her head continues to spin.

"That's karma," Grumpy murmurs to himself, but Glinda heard it, and throws a dangerous glare at him. He lifts his hands in surrender.

"Henry doesn't have much time," Regina reminds everyone what is at stake. "We need to know where Pan is."

"You will never get the boy's heart," Felix mocks at their assumed defeat though the dwarf has his ax dangerously ready to chop his head off.

"That is enough from you," Grumpy growls, holding the teen against him, his ax sharply leaning against his neck. All he had to do was swing back, and he'll cut right through, detaching the teen's head from his body.

"I may know where Pan is," Neal speaks up. Neverland is a huge island. To get to one end to the other, it will take a week, and that's without stops to rest. He can be anywhere. But he remembers a specific place where Pan goes to think. It was where Pan took him some time ago, telling him how it was the place Wendy declared her love to him.

"Where?" Emma asks when Neal gets lost in thought.

"His thinking tree."

"You know how to get there?"

"Yes," Neal nods.

"Alright," Emma nods in thanks. "We should go as soon as possible."

Regina already came up with a game plan. There was no point for so many to face Pan all at once, and it best if some survivors go back to Storybrooke. She picks up a sea shell when they left the island. She whispers into it, listing a few directions that are needed to be followed to the tee.

"What are you doing?" Emma eyes her lover oddly.

"Ordering caviar," Regina rolls her eyes, sarcasm dripping from her voice. When Emma throws her a look, she sighs. "I am calling in a favor. Mermaids are the only creatures that can travel through different worlds as long there is water. I asked her to meet at the Jolly Roger."

"You know Ursula will have your head," Glinda warns the brunette.

"It will be worth it," Regina dismisses the warning.

"Why did you call for a mermaid?"

"Charming," Regina turns to face Snow White's true love. They very man who broke Snow's sleeping curse. Charming looks into her eyes. "I need you to take the rest of the Lost Boys back to the ship. There is no reason for so many to face Pan. Neal, Emma, Red, Glinda, Elphaba and I are enough. The rest of you need to get the rest of these boys and wait for us."

"I sense there is more," Charming comments, feeling that Regina has more to say.

She takes a watch out of the backpack, which was enchanted by Mary Poppins to carry all sorts of items, and hands it to him. "Henry has an hour. Once that hour is up, there is no saving him."

"I have faith you'll get Henry's heart back," Charming assures the brunette, believing that she can do it. Even if Regina goes all Evil Queen on Pan, she'll get Henry's heart back.

"It's just in case if we don't defeat Pan," Regina wasn't taking any chances. Everyone who risked their lives should have a way home. Her heart would be devastated if she fails not to get Henry's heart, and bring it back on time. She wouldn't have it in her to create a portal to go back home where all the memories of her life with Henry. "Rumpelstiltskin will know what to do when he sees the mermaid. I've asked her to bring a magic bean. You all will go back to Storybrooke. We'll distract Pan from stopping you."

"Regina," Charming sighs heavily, not liking what Regina was asking of him.

"As King, you will do this," Regina says in her queenly demeanor.

Charming nods sharply.

"Don't worry your pretty little head," Elphaba says, getting up on her jelly feel legs. "The boy has yet to meet the truly wicked."


Storybrooke

Ursula was walking down her psychotic halls when a magic wave hit Storybrooke. It wasn't anything that cause any panic over. It just made everyone stumble a step or two, nothing major. Ursula only lifts an eyebrow, but shrugs and went back to work.

"Master," Jetsam calls out to his creator, gaining her attention.

"I don't want to be disturbed," Ursula dismisses her once eel, now human minion.

"But there is a storm," Jetsam tells her.

"And how is this my problem?" Just because she can create chaos within the ocean, creating tsunamis and all kinda of ocean storms, doesn't mean she has control over weather. She's isn't Mother Nature.

"It's only above the ocean," Jetsam explains.

That gained her attention. Thinking back go to the magic wave that just went by and with the new addition information, there is a chance they are one and the same problem. Waving her hand, her trident lifts up from the cold waters that fill her basement floors and she sinks into the water to teleport herself to the docks.

"Took you forever," Maleficent mumbles when seeing the sea witch appear next to her. Holding down her head high as the wind whips hard in the air.

Ursula doesn't respond to the blonde, but instead absorb her surroundings. She never has seen the waves angrily roar so much, crashing hard against the docks. The winds had no sense of direction, blowing in any and all directions. The dark cloud above held a dangerous threat to release its hell.

But none of it caught her attention as much as when her eyes lands on a red hair standing alone close to the edge where all the boat and ships are docked. Her ancient blue eyes widen, and she forgotten how to breath.

"Ursula?" there was actual worry heard in her tone. "How bad is it? Am I going to lose a limb? You know how much I hate when I lose a scale..."

Maleficent trails off her ranting when she notice Ursula didn't register anything she was saying. Her eyes were locked on the red head and her mind was in a daze. Following the woman's line of sight, Maleficent does a double take.

"Wow," Maleficent comments, hoping to snap Ursula out of her daze. "Her hair is as red as your lips."

Ursula's heart was pulsing at a million miles per hours. She can feel her blood pressure rising as the anxiety build within her. She never thought this day would ever come.

Feeling a tug on her silk black strapless dress, she shakes her head, shaking away the daze. Looking down, she finds the crab she created before it was frozen as a golden statue at her feet. "Sebastian?"

The crab points his claws back at the red hair at the end of the docks.

"Is that truly her?"' Ursula was afraid of the answer.

"Her who?" Maleficent studies the back of the red head.

Ursula doesn't answer. If she told the blonde, she'll have to explain, and she had no idea how to. She is tongue twisted, and her mind is mush.

Daring herself to get closer, she walks down the dock. She heard Maleficent yelling to Regina's former general, her personal knight, to keep people away from the harsh ocean. She comments why Regina thought he was the best to command her armies was beyond her. Ursula would have laugh if it wasn't how serious matters are.

Taking careful steps, Ursula stops suddenly. She stiffens, standing regally and became confident once again when the red head looked over her shoulder, turning only her head.

"Hello Mother."

Ursula's breath got stuck in her throat, she freezes in place. Her eyes were like a dear in the headlights, she may have died. Slowly swallowing the lump stuck in her throat, she forces herself to recover. She's the sea goddess. She rules over the seas. She isn't going to cower away.

"Hello... Ariel," Ursula greets back. She grips tightens around her trident, happy that she had something to help stand, to keep her from going weak in the knees.

Ariel turns completely around, finally facing the woman that gave birth to her. Right away she looks head to toe or tentacles. She always wondered what Ursula looked like. Only having seen statues of her, and only heard tales, none of them ready her of what she's seeing.

Without the gold, Ursula has a tint of lite grayish purple skin tone. Short gray hair. Eyes as blue as the ocean and lips as red as her hair.

Nobody has seen the Sea Goddess in over a thousand years. If the tales were true, Ursula's body had no wrinkles to show the years of age. Her skin was smooth. Her body looked like she is in her prime. But when you study the ocean blue eyes, you can see the dullness, less full of life.

Despite Ursula having a tentacles, and gray hair, Ariel knew in her gut and heart that she was her mother. Her daddy always said that she had her mother's eyes and her hair remind him of her lips.

"How did you find out?" Ursula asks. She doubts Triton told their daughter the truth. She remembers seeing Ariel looking up at her as an icon, not as a mother, when she was imprisoned as a statue.

"Daddy told me you were killed by humans," Ariel chooses to tell her, but it didn't come to a surprise to Ursula. "But somewhere in my heart, I never believed him."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"I want you to have a reason to come and see me," Ariel tells her, guilty to hold information from her birth mother.

Ursula blinks a few times, flabbergasted to hear her daughter wanting to get to know her. How long has it been that she wished she could be given that chance? Only the other day she thought she'll never be able to comfort her child.

"I vow on the seven seas we will have a talk," Ursula promises. She wasn't going to let this opportunity go by. Maleficent will slap her to the next century if she let her daughter walk in her life and do nothing.

Ariel nods, thankful of the chance to get to know her mother. She lived most her life wondering who the woman that gave birth to her was. She never thought it would be the great and powerful Ursula, the sea goddess.

"Dear sweet child, get away from there," Ursula motions Ariel to step away from the edge. The waves were growing harsher and harsher. Ariel's hair has been wiping in all directions. Lucky she has short hair. She would be annoyed if her hair blocks her view.

"I can't," Ariel declines. "Regina is calling me, and I have to go."

"Regina is calling you?" Ursula back stiffens. "Why is she calling you?"

"Something has gone wrong in Neverland. Regina is calling from a sea shell," Ariel explains.

"You are not going," Ursula shakes her head. Regina will pay for thinking of calling Ariel to danger.

"I am, and you can't stop me," Ariel states with no room for argument. "I owe her a favor."

"A favor?" Ursula repeats, with a slight snarl. "She will be lucky if I don't chop her like sushi."

"She gave me legs," Ariel looks down to said legs, playing with a bracelet she hasn't taken off in thirty years. "And a life with Eric."

"What?" Ursula eyes narrowed, confused what Ariel was telling her.

"I'll explain later. I really have to go," Ariel says just as lightning struck.

"If there is a single hair out place on your head, I'll -" Usrula growls, her grip straining the golden staff in her hand.

"Tell Regina, she will be waking up with the fishies," Maleficent cuts her off, having decided to join the two half breeds.

"Will do," Ariel nods, before jumping into the water.

Maleficent had to wrap her arm around Ursula's waist to stop her from jumping after the red head. "She'll be fine."

"How are you sure?"

"Because she's your daughter."


Neverland

"Not too far ahead, guys," Neal says over his shoulder to the women who follow him.

"We are women," Regina corrects her newly founded half-brother.

Emma sighs mentally. Regina and Neal were doing this the entire time as they all head to Pan's thinking tree. They have been sizing each other up at every opportunity. She won't be surprise if they start discussing whose dick was bigger.

"It's a figure of speech, Regina," Neal sighs, rolling his eyes.

"Just like when you said just a few minutes ago that we were almost there?"

Neal is smart not to fall for the bait. He's been trying to figure out what Regina has of their father, and it finds that it is his sass. Always a step ahead. It is an annoying trait.

"Children," Glinda scowls, "compare dicks later when our lives aren't at stake."

Elphaba snorts.

"We are getting near," Red says out loud, having caught Wendy's scent. Her British smell couldn't be mistaken anywhere.

"Told you," Neal turns to face Regina.

Regina rolls her eyes and motions Neal to continue to lead them.


"It won't be true love," Wendy states when Pan finally lets her go. Looking at the tree, the very tree that Pan confessed his love for her. "It won't be real."

"It'll be real to me," Pan tells her. The details never have bothered him. As long he gets what he wants, nothing else matters. And if it didn't, he would be dying of guilt from the day he gave up his own flesh and blood.

Wendy studies him, watching his every move. She wonders how Pan is going to force her into loving him. Would it be some kind of enchantment? She isn't very well knowledge in all that regards magic.

Pan's heart skips a beat as he stares at Wendy. He's been praying for to see her face out of her hood, and she's been very careful to keep her face hidden. Now that he finally lays his eyes on her, he can't stop looking in awe. Her beauty has grown more since the last time. He didn't think he can ever fall more in love with Wendy Darling.

"You know, she reminds me of you a lot," Wendy comments, not seeing how much it is going to hurt when soon her mind won't be controlled by her. "She won't quit until she gets what she wants."

"The Evil Queen can try," Pan snorts.

"And will succeed," Regina's voice comes from behind him, dripping with venom as she and the others come from the forest. Neal and Emma have their swords ready by their side, Red has long left her red cloak with the others, Elpbaba and Glinda stand behind, holding their magical weapon.

"Come to join your son?"

"The only person who'll be joining death will be you," Regina stares coldly at Pan. He's going to pay for everything he has done. Taking him off guard, she thrust her hands forward, putting a lot of magic behind the spell, blasting him off his feet into the air, down hard. She stumbles a bit, being affected by her own magic.

The second Pan back touched the ground, and before Glinda cast a bubble around him, trapping him, he disappears. Appearing behind Regina, he taps her shoulder, and she quickly whips around to find him blowing some star dust in her direction.

"Regina!" Emma calls out, throwing her sword once more, forcing Pan this time to use magic to dodge the metal blade. She was a second to late, before Regina sneezed by the dark dust.

"Star dust," Neal says underneath his breath. Things just got serious. He couldn't imagine what Regina, the Evil Queen, conscious could do once it comes alive. He's sure that it isn't going to be a walk through a field of dandelions.

Morphing fast, Red tackles Pan to the ground, hard. Before she can dig her canine teeth, Pan throws her to the side. Rolling out of the way, Emma summoned her sword back into her hands and swung down, missing him.

"Regina..." Glinda dares a glance of worry over to the brunette who was walking away from the fight.

"She'll be fine," Elphaba assures her, as she takes another swing at the teen who dodge and avoids the brushes of the broom. She is careful in using magic, not wanting it to backfire back at her again.

Wendy watches, wishing she can join, but Pan froze her body in place. Not able to move a muscle, she has to watch terribly as they try to best Pan. They swing fast, and jump at openings, but Pan's new found greater magic made it harder to land a hit. Emma was lucky to have grazed him with her sword once, but he wasn't a fool to be touched again. Worse was Regina has been hit by star dust, and has snap out of its side effect.

As they fight to overcome Pan, Regina's world has gone completely black. As if she's fallen in the rabbit hole she read about in the story of Alice in Wonderland when she first came to Storybrooke. She wanted to know how the new world protrayed them. It felt like she was falling, and there was no end to it.

She knew she was leaning against a tree, as her breathing becomes heavy, as her body starts to sweat. Tinkerbell have warned to not be hit by star dust, but she didn't think much of it. Her mother is known to be the Queen of Hearts. She was molded to become a monster by the Dark One. She absorbed a death curse that was cast by a fairy's wand. And don't forget she was recently tortured. She was confident she could handle the star dust effects, but she was greatly wrong.

She feels sick to her stomach as the ground start to quake under her feet, as bodies come out of the dirt. Slowly creeping to their feet, cracking in their bones back into place, they keep their eyes lock with hers. If she didn't know any better, her heart would have jumped out of her chest at the sight her eyes were seeing.

She rather be electrocuted and strapped to a metal table then to see those who she ripped out their hearts come back to life. She sure she was in hell when Leopold's body pops out from the ground. She straightens her spine, she will never show weakness to that man. He wasn't worth to see her in fear. But hearing a familiar voice echo in her head, she turns to see the one person who makes her crumble.

"Daniel," Regina whispers, eyes wide, her heart fallen to her stomach, and the need to be struck by lighten has never been greatly needed.

"How could you do this?" Daniel's voice echoed in her mind, but his mouth didn't move.

"I..." Regina opens her mouth to defend herself, but she knew there was no good excuse. Daniel wouldn't have wanted her to go down the dark path of revenge. He would have wanted her to move on and find love again. But at the time she thought he was her true love, and one can only have one chance at it. And it didn't help her hatred to Snow grow day by day.

"You whore!" Leopold's voice snaps her attention, making her sharply turn. "Look what have you done!" Though the figure mouth didn't open, she can hear the venom behind the words. She flinches at the familiar tone.

"You monster!" the villagers, the innocent people who she didn't bat an eye when having them murdered, or killing them herself. These are the people who would beg to have her head on a silver platter. They would do anything for her to follow them to death so they have their chance of revenge, to make her pay.

As she fights her own demons, the others continue to fight against a masked devil, Pan. Red, when morphed into her wolf form, which is much larger than any other beast, so when Pan easily flick her body off of him, hitting a tree hard, it caused the tree to fall from the great weigh. The wolf whimpers, feeling its ribs break at the impact.

Emma scrambles back on her feet, her sword in her hand, charging at Pan. But he lifts her up with the palm of his hands and throws her as if she's a rag doll. Neal has done the same but the other side of Pan, however, the same result happened to him, getting thrown hard on the ground.

Glinda flicks her wand back and forth, shooting magic bubbles after magic bubbles at Pan. Having them explode when it made contact with the boy, but all it does is make Pan stagger in his steps. He became acclimated to the changed of magic on the land, and they aren't having the same effect as they should have.

Elphaba swings her broom just as Pan stumbles a bit, finally getting a solid hit on his back, forcing the teen fall forward. Once on the floor, she continues to throw down hits with her broom, hoping to make him winded so Glinda can wrap a bubble around him to trap him.

Wendy sees some hope in stopping Pan when Elphaba hit him to the ground, but it was taken away when Pan disappears in a blink of the eye, and just as Glinda was about release her spell, he appear beside her and blow star dust at her.

"Noooo!" Elphaba growls, rushing to Glinda's side.

Glinda blinks a few times, feeling a sneeze coming, but never comes out. Shaking her head to ease the nose pain from the sneeze that got stuck. Pinching her bridge her nose, squeezing her eyes shut. Feeling a comforting hand on her shoulder, hearing a name being called, but when she opened her eyes, she wished she never did.

"Glinda, my sweet?" Elphaba looked at Glinda worriedly. "What's wrong?"

Glinda's eyes were wide, her heart pound heavily, and she feels like she's about to faint. There was Elphaba, her green skin melting, staring her with those blaming eyes. Tears were threatening to fall, as she stares her worse nightmare.

"What's wrong, my sweet?" she hears Elphaba's husky voice echoing in her mind. "Does my site disgust you?"

"My sweet, speak to me," Elphaba starts to worry seeing how feverish her lover's skin has become, and sees the fear Glinda's eyes. She only saw that type of fear in her lover's beautiful blue eyes when Regina brought Glinda to the Enchanted Forest, to reunite them. It took a lot of convincing her that she wasn't dead, or a dream.

"Get away from me," Glinda almost screams, pushing Elphaba away from her.

"Hehehehehe!" Glinda hears the familiar dark crackle echo, as she runs away from Elphaba.

"Bastard," Emma picks up her sword as she got back on her feet, wrapping an arm around her abdomen. First Henry, then Regina, now Glinda? She's the damn savior, and she is going to save everyone. Pan is not going to take any more down with him.

With new found determination, her magic starts to pulse within her, she can feel Regina's magic at a distance, fear was vibrating, but did her best to ignore it. Regina would release her wrath if Emma worried about her, instead of keeping her focus on the important matter. Henry. She's going to save Henry. Along with everyone else.

She thought about her lessons. Don't think, but feel. Let your feelings guide the magic. Breathing in by her nose, and out by her mouth, her nerves started to settle. She feels the sparks at the tips of her fingers come alive. Letting the magic come out, casting it within the sword she holds. The sword starts to glow blue, as she eyes Pan laughing at the group around him.

"You are all a pathetic lot," Pan snorts. He thought the two of the most feared villains, a beast, the savior, the son of the Dark One, and a wand user would have been a challenge.

Wendy notices Emma plotting, and decides to help. "I thought you wanted me," Wendy distracts Pan from the others, choosing a less favorite topic of hers, but it was his.

Glancing at Red, who has morphed back into her human self, she communicates with her eyes, silently telling her plan. Red nods once, though she limps, she slowly circles around Pan. She motions Neal to do the same, who glares at Pan, but does what Emma tells him to do.

As Wendy continue to distract Pan, Red has carefully walked to one side of Pan, just as Neal walked to the other side, across from her. Emma stayed behind him, signaling with a quick motion of her head. Red moves faster than any human, though injured, she still moved fast towards Pan. Neal a second after, moving as fast as his sore legs can carry him. Emma grips her sword with both hands, as she waits.

Sensing Red a second before she can land a hit, Pan side steps, grabs her fists, and twists her arm behind her, snapping it out of place. Finding pleasure in the wolf shifter hiss of pain, he almost didn't notice Neal coming behind him.

Neal aims his swing to behead Pan, to finally end him, but before his sword can touch Pan's neck to slice through, his momentum stopped. He tries to move, but found out, rather quickly, Pan frozen the sword in mid-swing.

Finally getting an opening, Emma flings the sword with her all her might, just as she once done before back on Skull Island. Not wasting a second, she runs forward, stumping her feet heavily as she sprint forward.

Emma's sword flies straight, dead on at the chosen target. Pan only had a seconds to dodge the fast moving metal blade, but wasn't fast enough to dodge its dangerous sharp edges, seeing how it cut through his shoulder.

Letting go of Neal's sword, and Red, they move fast to put an end to Pan. Red twisted around quicker than a blink of an eye and punches Pan, feeling his jaw crack at the force of her fist.

Neal stumbles when his sword is release, not wanting to waste a golden opportunity, Neal goes to stab Pan in the stomach, just as Emma teleports above Pan's head, summoning her sword back into her hands as she swung downward, aiming to finish the job.

"This is enough!" Pan's eyes darken, as blood fills his mouth and gushes out of his shoulder. Just a millisecond before Neal and Emma could take the final blow; he reacts quickly, summoning the trees to grab those around him, holding them tight against its trunk.

"Let us go!" Emma fights against the vines that wrap tightly around her, bonding her to the tree.

Snapping his jaw in place, he locks his dark eyes at the blonde savior. "This tree is enchanted to wrap its vines to those who have regret," Pan informs them, placing a hand on his wound on his shoulder. Feeling the cut is deeper than the one that was cut across his chest.

"You weren't born to be queen," Leopold comes into view on the other side of Daniel. "You are nothing but a pawn. Someone to be used. You don't have what it takes to be queen." Leopold's voice continue to echo in her mind, building up her guilt and regrets within her. Staring at every person she ever tortured, killed or have ordered to have their lives taken away, the memories blind her once again.

"You are not the Regina I once I knew," Daniel's voice bypass the others voices that continue to chant all around her, as her Daniel, though half decompose, point his index finger at her heart. "The Regina I knew would have stayed strong, and take responsibility for all she has done. She doesn't regret nothing. Do you regret us? Do you regret Tinkerbell? Do you regret Henry? Do you regret Emma?"

Something didn't fit right at the mention of Emma and Henry. Something wasn't making sense.

"Oh yes, the past can hurt, but you can either run from it or learn from it," Graham's voice comes echoing in her mind, just as Graham stands besides Daniel, staring into her eyes. They were empty, representing that they no longer hold life. "Isn't that what you once told me as you declare war with Snow White?"

Blinking, Regina knew the fuzziness that has been covering her brain is stopping her from connecting the dots. But when she felt Emma's magic pulsing stronger, trying to fill the space her magic has created since being hexed by star dust. She remembers Tinkerbell's warning, and she knew this was all in her imagination, but she couldn't figure out how end it.

"Do you regret?" Daniel's zombie form gives her a look, never have opened his mouth.

"No," Regina answers with no hesitation, holding his gaze. She lifts her famous eyebrow, "I did cast a curse that devastated an entire population. I have tortured and murdered. I've done some terrible things. I should be overflowing with regret, but I'm not. Because it got me my family."

As she speaks the truth from her heart, every single zombie of her past sinks back into the ground one by one. Her vision slowly returns to reality, but before she fully awaken, Daniel smiles, "Love again," before disappearing. She comes face to face with Pan, who locks with her...

True to Pan's description of the tree's enchantment, Regina becomes free. Taking a dangerous step forward, and Pan takes a step backwards. "That isn't possible."

"I am the Evil Queen," Regina's voice drips with death that soon will come. "You will pay for messing with my family."

"If your Savior lover, and your weak friends couldn't stop me together, how are you going to stop me alone?"

"I'm not alone," Regina corrects him. "I am not the only one who has no regrets."

"Why couldn't you have come with me?" Elphaba's voice echoes, as she tries to erase the image of Elphaba melting in front of her. She knew that this was fake. "I thought you loved me."

"Why did you kill me?" She looks at Elphaba's dripping skin, having been thrown water at. The very thought had her sleeping nightmares at every night. It filled her up with guilt and regrets. Wishing she could have been able to do more. Have been stronger.

"I do," Glinda argues. She always wanted a fairy tale princess's life. Love at first sight, to live happy ever after. Thinking back when she first lay eyes on Elphaba, at first she thought it was unadulterated loathing, but later figured out all the stranger feeling was truly was love. And though they hit bumps, they are living a happy ever after. "I didn't kill you."

Sure she felt guilt at first. She truly thought Elphaba was dead, but that was until Regina came to her with an offer. An offer that lead her out of Oz and into Elphaba's arms. Elphaba explained how she plan it all.

"Didn't you promise you would keep holding on?" Elphaba continues to remind her mistakes of her past decisions. "Why are you always weak."

Glinda was on the edge to break. Her heart couldn't take anymore. When she was bonded and had to watch Regina being tortured and wasn't able to do anything, it bothered her. Or when Pan pointed out, she did her best to try to prove him wrong, having become some kind of use. But now, when Elphaba points it out, the one person who opinion matters to her, hit a sensitive nerve.

She was disgusted with herself. Ashamed.

"Do you regret our love?" Elphaba points a dripping index finger at her heart. She always wear her heart on her sleeves.

Glinda blinks away the confusion of change of question direction. Elphaba knows she never regret their love. She told her much the night Elphaba before her death. That no matter what happens, she will always love her.

"No. I don't regret out unadulterated love."

"It was our love that had me killed."

"If I had believed that, then everything we have done since we meet would never have happened. It was our love that had both parties fighting. It was our love that we wanted a life out of Oz. To be together with no unwanted stares. I didn't believe that than I wouldn't have a life with the person I love most. Green and all. So no I don't regret a moment. I have may have wished to be stronger, braver, but it doesn't change that I got my happy ending. And I. Didn't. Kill. You.

"I'm melting!" Elphaba finishes melting into the ground. The same image she once witness, but she knows it was all an act. Elphaba isn't dead. She never melted. It wasn't her fault.

"Plus I am not weak," Glinda states strongly, finally getting her vision back. She rips away from the hold of the tree with ease, how she doesn't have regret. With her wand pointing at Pan, her jaw clench, showing how piss she is.

"I was sure you regret something," Pan says sheepishly.

"I regret for not bubbling your pathetic British accent ass," Glinda states, coming to stand beside Regina.

Pan didn't have a chance when Wendy came behind him, interlocking her arms around him, holding him in place. Not having seen it coming, and became off guard, Regina pushes forward and ripped out Henry's heart out of Pan's chest. Once the golden heart was in Regina's chest, Glinda cast a bubble around Pan, keeping him from going anywhere.

Grasping for air, Pan knees buckle at the loss of Henry's heart. All the magic that he once processed was drained from his body. He scans the hourglass ticking once again, slowly emptying itself. Hitting the bubble barrier was a fruitless endeavor.

"You are no different from me," Pan spits out at Regina's smugness look. "We share the same blood. Rumple is my son and I know he is your father."

"You're Rumpelstiltskin's father?" Regina eyes widen in shock at Pan's statement.

"Rumpelstiltskin is my boy," Pan admits. "I traded him for youth. He traded his son for power. And you..."

"Traded my memories for my cursed memories," Regina finishes, thinking back to the potion she drank when she figured out Henry is the son of the Savior. The child that escaped from her clutches through the wardrobe. She didn't want to her fear of her curse being destroy stop her from fully caring and loving for her son.

"That's right. That would make me your grandfather," Pan smirks at his granddaughter.

"What the hell?" Neal curses.

"Oh, that right, I can't forget about my grandson," Pan smirks at Neal.

"You know Henry is Neal's birth father, and you tried to kill him," Emma points out to Pan. The teen, or should say an adult who didn't want to grow up, was more mess up in the head than she gave him credit for.

"Henry's family tree just more complicated," Red murmurs.

"Next we'll find out Charming's dad is Winnie the Pooh. And he's a long lost triplet is the tooth fairy," Elphaba makes a joke of the whole situation.

"This is no time for jokes," Glinda slaps Elphaba's arm.

"What the hell is joking?" Elphaba says seriously.

"I can't believe I am related to a line of low life pathetic cowards..." Regina trails off.

"Secretly I have a brother who is Santa Claus," Elphaba states.

"Is he real?" Emma has to ask. At this point she believes everyone who thought was fiction was actually alive.

"Yes. Ask the daughters of Eve, and Sons of Adam, they met them," Glinda nods.

"Narnia is real too?" Emma's eyes widen. Would that mean the talking animals are real?

Regina rolls her eyes at her lover's naive thinking. The first thing after taking a nice long bath, and getting plenty of rest in her comfy, she's going to educate Emma. The odd questions are starting to get on her nerves. There was no time for this topic, they need to get back to the Jolly Roger.

"Lets go," Regina motions everyone back to the Jolly. "We must get Henry's heart back into his chest."

Pan growls, slamming his fists against the bubble barrier that was keeping him from getting his hands on his granddaughter. He watches Regina cover a purple cloud around them, making them disappear out of his sight, teleporting them back to the ship. Damn them all. He was so close to get all he ever wanted.


The group race through Neverland back to where the Jolly Roger has set it sails. They have wasted most of a hour fighting Pan, but lucky for them, having spent over a week on the island, they knew their way around. Regina is able to teleport them onto the ship.

Charming was about to order everyone to be ready to set sail, when the purple cloud appear on the deck. Pulling out his sword, just as the others follow his example, ready to attack. But he sees his daughter, and the others, he lowers his sword.

"Did you do it?" Charming asks with hope.

Regina lifts her hand that was holding Henry's heart. "Where's Henry?" Regina demands, wanting to get to her son's side.

"He's below deck, in one of rooms," Charming answers, stepping aside to let Regina and Emma to go their son.

Together, Regina and Emma rush together blow deck, forgetting about everyone else. Entering the room they see Henry's body lay unmoving, lifeless. Taking a quick glance at each other, they waste no time going to their son's side. Emma takes a place at the foot of the bed, and put a comforting hand on her son's leg. Regina sits near his waist, running her free hand through his brown hair.

She grips the golden organ lightly in her hand, not wanting to accidentally crush it to dust, or cause harm. Regina takes a calming breath, before plunging her son's heart back into his chest. Carefully putting the organ back into its rightful place, she carefully pulls out her hand.

Emma is quick to snatch Regina's hand, gripping it tight as they wait to see if Henry wakes up. They pray together that they weren't too late. And they almost broke into tears when Henry took a gasp of air.

"Henry?" Regina and Emma question the boy worriedly.

"Moms?" Henry looks at his moms with hopeful eyes. Having spent a lot of time in Neverland, he thought he would never see them again.

They all pull each other into a family hug, holding tightly, never wanting to let go.

"You're safe now Henry," Emma assures him, holding tighter. Nothing is going to happen like this again. And if it does, she'll flip the world upside down to save her family. No more running away. She's the savior. Time to protect those she hold dear and love.

"We won't let anything happen to you again," Regina promises, happy to have her son back, safe and sound. Making the same promises and vows as Emma. She would even go as fast as making a deal with Rumpelstiltskin.

"Can we go home?" Henry was dying to sleep in his own bed, as he pulls away from his moms.

"Of course," Regina runs her fingers through his hair, having missed doing it. Getting up from the bed, she kisses his forehead. "Now Rest..."


"I see you were bested by your granddaughter," the Shadow mocks Pan, as it circles around the barrier that keeps Pan from escaping.

"Just come up and get me out of here," Pan snaps, banging his fits against the bubble, trying o break it with force

"And should I do that? Your time is almost up," Shadow reminds him of the hourglass that continues to the count down after Regina ripped out Henry's heart out.

"Because I am going to make them all pay," Pan growls. "I think it was time we go to this Storybrooke where they said they lived."

"And how are you planning to do that?" the Shadow questions. "They are leaving. And you have no magic to cross worlds. Plus you don't know where Storybrooke is."

Pan slams his fit once again against the barrier that was acting as his cage. "You must have a plan, or you wouldn't be taunting me."

It was the Shadow that convinced him to give up his son for youth. It was the Shadow that promise of magic that was powerful enough to get Wendy back and get her to love him. It was always the Shadow. It has darkened his mind and heart, making him his human host. What most would think he was being used, he thinks it is an equal trade. The Shadow has yet to lie all these years.

"I do," the Shadow replies. "And it involves you going to Storybrooke to get your revenge."

"I do love getting my revenge," Pan smirks, liking the plan already when the Shadow destroyed the bubble with a pop.

"We must act quickly. They are setting sail," the Shadow place itself on the ground, where Pan's shadow would have be cast if he had one. Together, Pan disappears to catch the ship before it left this world.


Regina and Emma break the wonderful news that Henry is okay and alive. They made it on time, and have been able to bring him back to life. Everyone was happy to hear their adventure into Neverland wasn't in vain.

"I'm glad you got your son back, Regina," Tinkerbell smiles at Regina. She had no doubt. Regina was and still is stubborn. The brunette was determined, and it all pay off in the end. "Seems the Evil Queen was able to love some after all."

Regina chuckles lightly, thinking back when they first met, and Tinkerbell told Regina that all she needs is life is love. At first she didn't believe it, having everything she hold dear been taken from her, and her world was taken out from underneath her. But she now hundred percent understand what Tinkerbell meant all those years ago.

"Yes, it seems you were right," Regina smiles back Tinkerbell.

"I knew you still had some good in you," Tinkerbell comments, having seen the good in Regina once, and knew it was still there. All it took was the right person to bring life back into Regina's eyes and heart.

Regina wasn't one for hugs. Unless it was Emma or Henry, otherwise she doesn't like receiving or giving hugs, but she makes an exception for Tinkerbell. Pulling the fairy blonde into a tight, friendly hug, thanking her for everything she did to help them save Henry.

"I would do anything for you, Regina," Tinkerbell promises to her once lover. "All you have to do is ask. That's what friends are for right?"

"The same promise to you, my friend," Regina felt odd to say the word friend, but it felt right.

Tinkerbell nods, keeping it in mind before she went to check on the Lost Boys.

Before Regina orders the flirting pirate to set sail the ship back home, Regina walks over to the side of ship, looking down to see the red head mermaid.

"Ariel," Regina greets the mermaid.

"Hello Regina," Ariel greets back.

"I need you go back to Storybrooke and warn the others of our arrival. We stall be arriving shortly," Regina orders the red head.

"Of course," Ariel nods before dipping to the water, traveling through the ocean back to Storybrooke.

"Ready?" Emma smiles at her lover when she came to stand by her side.

Regina smiles softly back, taking Emma's hand into hers. Their magic spark fireworks, as they once again create a portal with their love.


Storybrooke

The storm that was raging over the sea for near an hour has finally calmed. Everyone sigh in relief, having no idea what it entails. Soon this is going to be a normal coincidence, and nobody is going to bat an eyelash.

"Nobody can complain that this small town is boring," Maleficent comments.

A giant tornado that threaten to rip our homes into an unknown vortex? Whatever. An alien from space and doesn't come in peace. Cool. Snow White is dying from cancer. Oh. My. God. Call for a panic attack. Maleficent wouldn't be surprise.

"Welcome to Storybrooke, where supernatural is normal, and people turning into toads is an everyday must," Maleficent continues to belch out random thoughts. She's hoping to crack a smile on Ursula's face with her ranting.

Ursula has yet to blink over an hour, and it was starting to freak Maleficent out. She knew and understood the sea goddess's concern, but this was over the top.

"She's going to be fine," Maleficent tries once again to sooth the woman octopus.

"You don't know that," Ursula states.

Maleficent sighs in defeat. There was no trying to comfort Ursula until she sees Ariel with her own eye, unharmed and uninjured.

"Rest assure, I come with great news," Ariel comes walking out of the water, onto the sandy surface of the rocky beach.

"I pray all her hair is still attach to her skull," Maleficent mumbles to herself, watching Ursula walk regally over to her daughter. She can sense a dangerous storm will be cast, and Regina will be lost at sea.

"Regina told me to tell you that they are soon will be arriving shortly," Ariel smiles telling the great news to her mother. How many times did she wish to come home, and have her mother waiting for her?

"You are unharmed," Ursula sighs in relief, having checked for any sign of injuries. She didn't want to kill Regina, but she would have if anything happened to her child.

"I am fine," Ariel rolls her eyes.

"I didn't create Sebastian to keep an eye on you and keep you from trouble just for you to be hurt for nothing," Ursula states. Ariel may be an adult, and she wasn't in her life, but she was still her daughter. She still and always loved her daughter. She kept tabs though she was prison, and did everything she can, though restricted of most of her power, to make sure Ariel was kept safe.

"I can take care of myself," Ariel argues. She just met the woman, and already she was feeling like a child.

"I know you can," Ursula smiles softly. Ariel sure got her spit fire from her. "Doesn't mean I want to see harm come to you."


"Oh, I know that look," Regina smiles down at Henry's familiar pouting face. Having gone back to the room he was rest, she joined him at laying next him, leaning over him as they intertwining their fingers. "Its five hours of space paranoids and too much pizza."

"Pizza is good," Henry moans hungrily. He was dying to have real food. Having eaten berries the whole time when he was at Neverland. He doesn't think he could have gone another week with pizza.

Regina chuckles at how well Henry is taking everything. Sometimes she wondered if he was born with an adult mind in a child's body. At the age of eleven, the world can be ending, and he'll be worried about food. It reminds her of Emma.

"My little prince, we'll be home soon," Regina promises, as she feels the ship sailing.

"Can you tell me a story?" Henry looks at his mother hopefully. It has been awhile since the last time his mother told him a story. It was always been their thing. Whenever Henry was sick, or needed comfort, or had a nightmare, his mom always told him a story. It was her stories that had him loving reading. The life in the pages can have one living among the words.

Regina smiles, more than willing to tell her son a story. "Once upon a time there was a queen. And she cast a glorious curse that gave her everything she wanted. Or so she thought… She despaired when she learned that revenge was not enough. She was lonely. And so she searched the land for a little boy to be her prince and then she found him..."

Henry smiles at the familiar story, being his favorite, and having been told many times before. He didn't realize before how much it told her story of her life in Storybrooke before he was born. When all he can think about was to break the curse, he forgot how much his mom loves him. Even though he wasn't truly hers, she still raised him as her own.

"Thanks mom," Henry wraps his arm around her, pulling her close to him. He's never going to let go of her.

After some time, Regina finally pulls herself away from Henry, who is finally sound asleep. Wanting to check on Emma on deck, she makes sure to tuck Henry in, making sure he was comfortable. Turning around, she finds Rumpelstiltskin leaning against the door frame, his Mr. Gold famous cane in his hands, watching her.

Walking in front of him, waiting for him to step aside so she can walk by when Rumpelstiltskin place a hand on her cheek, a small smile form on his face. She fought against to slap it away, and stepping away in disgust, but his words hit.

"He's a strong boy, Regina. You raised him well," Rumpelstiltskin states honestly, proud of Regina's parenting skills. Especially how she didn't have any good role models, expect for Henry Senior, but he was also a coward. He wasn't sure if a child would have grown up to be a fine gentleman, but Regina proved him wrong. She is a great mother.

Regina swallows hard, and just nods, before squeezing by him, and heading up on deck.


Pan smirks evilly, as he holds tightly against the side of the Jolly Roger, having not been notice, or being a second thought. As the ship sail back to Storybrooke, he thinks how to get his revenge. One last game wouldn't hurt anyone, would it?

Pan chuckles evilly to himself, not wanting those on the ship to know he is coming along the ride.
