I been expecting you, a woman said as she was sitting on a bar stool tapping her fingers on the bar with her legs crossed.
"It's Lily isn't it?" the woman said, stunned Lily said to her, you're not Emma.
thank you my dearest for making that quite obvious now, where were we?
we were nowhere! Lily yelled towards the woman, so you and the precious heroes aren't here seeking the delicate little savior?
I don't know what you're talking about Lily said firmly.
please my child why not make this easier on everyone, I don't know if anyone told you this but just in case, I'm let you in on a little secret you're not that cleaver.
I know you, both of the evil queen's, both Henry's as well as the famous Snow white and Prince Charming are somewhere lurking around, come on out now don't be afraid.
"we are not afraid…" Zelena and Maleficent said at the same time, as they along with Snow Charming, the two Regina's with both Henry's as well as Gold and Killian Jones as well as wish realm Hook and his daughter Alice walked in. where's our daughter Snow demanded as she pointed her bow and arrow at Gothel.
I must say I heard so many tales of the great Charming and Snow white, must say I'm so very much disappointed.
I'll show you disappointed if you don't take us to our daughter right now! Snow said still aiming her bow and Gothel. we won't ask you again, Snow said as she let go of her bow sending her arrow flying straight at Gothel direction who easily was able to poof herself out of the way causing the arrow to hit a wall.
Hey! one of the Regina's snapped. what? Snow asked. this is my bar Snow she spat back. oh, please Regina Snow said this place is probably not even real. it's as real as the air we breathe Regina answered back you were cursed Snow told her.
mom grandma guys young Henry said remember why we are here. aye, the young boy is right Killian said.
the savior is right here… Gothel said. where? Charming and Snow asked at the same time as they turned her face. we don't see anything, Gold said as he magically chokes the Gothel woman, telling her now you listen carefully and listen good. Gothel just started laughing, what? dark one you think you have what it takes to match my power? I'm more than thousands of years older than the black fairy, yes dark one I know all about your mommy dearest which as you know by now makes me older and far more powerful then you dark one believe me you would prefer me as an ally than an enemy. if that's true then why did you steal my mom's magic young Henry asked as he ran up to stand next to his grandpa Gold. careful Henry both Regina's and Snow and David said at the same time. on the contrary my lovelies Gothel had said, as she made a pouch appear out of thin air, opening up the pouch and turning it upside down to let the item fall into her hand.
the crimson heart, everyone said. yeah, a pretty little thing isn't it, but as you can all see I didn't steal the savior's magic. surprised thee dark one didn't tell you maybe he still playing catch up or better yet out of his element. no one can forcefully take the savior's magic it has to be done all by free will. you're lying Zelena said, as she took a step forward, I stole the savior's magic before. is that so, wicked witch of the east, Gothel said, because if I'm not mistaken didn't savior kiss the pirate of her own free will and I must ask did you really absorb it into yourself or into an item or did it go domatted. I know all about the adventures and misadventures of the savior. I probably know more about her then you all do.
if my daughter has to freely give you her powers, then you already lost Snow told Gothel. our daughter would never give up who is she. and who is she exactly? Gothel asked I simply thought she was Emma Swan daughter of the great late Prince Charming and Snow White does her magic make her who she is or does who she is make her savior?
you want her go and take her, Gothel said with a wave of her hand, causing all the lights in the room to flicker…
everyone looked around the room… just wait for it Gothel said as a Emma suddenly appeared before them laying on one of the couches in the bar.
Emma! both Snow and David called out as Killian called at Swan! with both Henry's calling out Mom! all running in her direction. No wait Gold said, but it was too late as everyone was sent flying back. What the blazing was that? Killian asked. that is a good question my friend David said as he helped his wife off the floor asking her if she was okay.
did you all, I think I would make it easy for you, Gothel said. as I told the girl I been expecting her and knew she wouldn't come alone either look around surprised none of you realized two of you groupies are missing I must say especially surprised at you young man. I didn't know the savior raised a fool, Gothel said speaking to the adult Henry… but then again she didn't raise you did she you probably take more after the evil queen after all you were what ten when you found your dear old mommy then left Storybrooke before you turned nineteen was it. What's your point Gothel both Regina's asked. the point is this Gothel said as she stepped out from behind the bar to show dear Ella and Lucy tied upside down. father! Lucy called out.
none of you even realized that they were missing. So, what is this the adult Henry asked you going to force me to choose between my daughter and wife and getting my mother back? not exactly Gothel said as she made another pouch appear taking out another item. Is that? both Henry's said how did you get that it supposes… destroyed? Gothel said, did either of you actually see the sheer of destiny get destroyed?
I'm here to give you a choice Henry Mills, one that doesn't have anything to do with your mother. you can either choose to remain fated and tied down to Ella, or if you chose to use these sheers to cut your fate from this woman and live. NO! I want to know how to save my mother! wait wait one of the Regina's said what do you mean live? are we seriously going to listen to this witch? Killian asked. suppose you are right captain guyliner… Regina said. it's actually simple my dear, Gothel said as she placed the crimson heart on the bar itself as you all are aware Henry here is destined to die when the curse does come to fruition, but as you all figure out by now his true love is the key and with these sheers, if he uses them it will free him for his true love.
you want us to believe Gothel, you going to have to give us something more… one of the Regina's said. I don't really care if you believe me or not, Gothel said as she took down the barrier blocking Emma from the others.
you want the savior there she is.
Swan! Killian said running over to her… love, can you hear me? did I forget to tell you I put Emma under a sleeping curse. Rapunzel made had gone about it the wrong way but she was right Emma isn't leaving this town intact.
…. that's nothing both Henry's and Snow and Charming said at the same time, Killian can wake her. I wouldn't be too sure about that, Gold said as he walked over towards the group. The savior as we know it she doesn't exist anymore her feelings for Killian went away the moment my future self did that spell. Well, I can do it both of Henry's said at the same time. actually, it has to be a bit more subtle than that, Gold said true love exists in many different forms. What's more subtle than a son's love for their mother? young Henry asked his grandpa.
do we know whether or not she remembers meeting you, my boy? why are you looking at me for me Lily asked Gold…
her? seriously? Regina said she tried to kill Emma's parents.
she was just returning the favor, Gothel said. what are you talking about? Lily turned to ask Gothel forget that Regina said why the hell are you still in my bar. because my dear I am enjoying the show and all of even combined are powerless to stop me.
Now my dear Lily, why don't you ask your mother why she can't leave Storybrooke without a magical tether. I know why I know my mother died and came back to life…
correction my dearest Lily, your friend Emma murdered Maleficent. So, I must ask are you sure you are the one to try to wake up the savior? anyone here will tell you true love has to be the same on both sides of the coin. y-you're lying… Lily said Emma she couldn't she wouldn't even hurt a fly, mother tell this crazy woman she is lying. even after she tried to kill you herself? Gothel asked. so, by all means, if you wake up Emma, I will let you all leave under two conditions produce to me my key to the garden and Emma must also accept the return of magic under the next full moon. How hard can that be? after all, she has at least four people who truly love her or at least should.
…. What did you do?! Dark one! Gothel yelled as she noticed she couldn't poof herself out of the club. it's a simple spell, Gold said. I don't know you and I don't care to know you either but one thing is clear you are the cause of all the realms magically problems and you're not leaving here until it is fixed. you really think you have the upper hand here? Gothel said as she let out a laugh uncloaking Roni's pub to show Queen Tine, Prince Naveen and Robin also hanging upside down... what do you say great dark one Ella, Lucy, Naveen, Tina and Robin's life for my own it seems like a fair trade.
