Chapter 7: The war across time

The multiverse is gone. The Black Fairy has won the final battle now gaining unchecked powers to bypass the laws of magic, and change the universe to see how she sees fit. However she didn't know that the battle has not finished yet.

Henry Mills began to open his eyes, and sat up seeing nothing, but darkness till he saw that he is sitting on the streets of town square or what's left of it, and the sword Emma used in the final battle. His mom, Emma, Killian, Snow, David, Belle, Rumple, and Gideon along with the rest of Storybrooke gone, and dead ceasing to exist, but he was confused of how he is still alive. He then heard a noise, and turn around seeing Skylar beginning to sit up, and Henry was shock seeing Skylar that went to help her up.

"You okay?" Henry asked as Skylar got up. "Yeah. I thought we were killed by that cloud." She said seeing the darkness. "Henry, Skylar?" Said a voice that Henry & Skylar turn around seeing Alex. "Thank god you two are alive." Alex said to them. "Do you think anyone else survived?" Henry asked. "Hope so." Skylar said as well.

"I see Jake, and Aaron." Alex said as they rushed to their help. "Mikayla, Sophie, Camryn, Alex, KC, and Wendy as well." Skylar said as the three helped them.

"Where are we?" Mikayla asked as she got up. "Still in Storybrooke." Henry said to her. "Or what's left of it." Skylar said as Sophie. "I can't believe everyone we know, and love even those we rescued are gone." Sophie said. "So we lost?" Wendy asked them. "I guess it's hopeless the Black Fairy won." Aaron said seeing the darkness. "We can't just give up." Henry said. "Henry look around there's nothing left she won we lost." Alex said as Camryn calms her down. "So what do we do now?" Jake asked. "I guess nothing till the day we all die." KC said. "But something doesn't add up. If everyone died except for us how did she not overlook us?" Skylar asked. "Maybe she didn't know about the Aurins." Alex said. "Then there's going to the beginning. What does she mean by that?" Sophie asked.

It means she is going to the beginning of time. A voice said till a blinding light glow till it subsided revealing Emma in a white dress.

"Mom? But you died how is this possible?" Henry asked.

"Yes I did died, but I'm now reborn not as the Savior, but as the Watcher." Emma said revealing her new role. "When the original Watcher was dying she transferred her powers to me, and here we are." Emma said to them.

"But what do you mean by the beginning of time?" Henry asked her. "I would say it, but it's not safe with the last bits of reality crumbling, and with her hearing us." The minute Emma said that the last remaining structures of Storybrooke began to collapse that Emma uses her new powers to transport herself, and the Aurins to the last remaining safe haven as the last remains of Storybrooke cease to exist.

Earth-0

They all arrived in the last remaining location. "What is this place?" Henry asked. "This is Earth-0 the home of the Watcher, and the only earth outside of time & space." Emma explained. "So what were you saying about the beginning of time before we were all sent here?" Skylar asked Emma. "The Black Fairy with her unchecked powers she plans to time travel to the beginning of time, and create a universe were there is only darkness, and she would reign as a god." Emma said shocking them. "That's why we wer-." Alex asked. "Yes the 12 Aurins." Emma said. "Wait we never found the twelfth Aurin." Jake said. "Till now." A woman said walking up to them that Henry recognizes her. "This is Mulan the Aurin of Love." Emma said introducing the Mulan of their universe. "Now that we are all here it's time we take the fight to the Black Fairy in the beginning of time." Emma said as she conjures up a similar portal that Zelena try to use before. "With this we could go back in time to the beginning before she arrives." Emma said to them. "But the only way to activate the spell is the 4 keys courage, wisdom, love, and innocence." Henry said to her. "We do." Emma saids as she looks at Aurins.

"Skylar, Sophie, Mulan, and Camryn the four of you have to step on the four symbols." Emma said as they step on the symbols that began to glow, and reached the middle opening a time portal to the past.

"Everyone hold on to each other. Once we go through do not let go of each other." Emma said as they held each other's hands as they entered the time portal traveling back in time.

The beginning of time

The aurins, and Emma arrived in the quarry in the beginning of time. "This is the place." Henry said seeing the place.

"I'm surprised that you're all still alive." They turn around seeing the Black Fairy.

"Will make sure we would defeat you, and avenge our worlds, and friends." Skylar said to her.

"You have courage no wonder they left their fates in the hands of mere children, but since I will create a new universe for darkness I'll make sure that this will be your graves." She said as she began to summon shadowlike demons that looked like corpses. "I found these demons on my way here they will keep you busy till you all die." Fiona said as a way to break their spirits, and confidence.

"Listen to me. This is the only place we could end the clash with one result. Rebirth of the universe." Emma said to the Aurins.

"Let's do this." Henry said as he, and the Aurins began to fight the shadow demons. Skylar begin to shoot the the shadow demons with her blaster as Jake Long in his dragon form began to burn the shadows with his fire breath. Using blades both Henry & Mulan began to slice the shadow demons as Alex uses her wand to vaporize the shadow demons while the other Alex, Camryn, and Sophie began to use their magic to keep everyone safe while destroying the shadow demons. Mikayla stab the shadow demons with her spear while Wendy, Aaron, and KC use their skills to hit the demons.

As Emma reached a peak of cliff in the quarry watching the battle Fiona appear behind her witnessing the battle.

"I'm impressed that you're still alive, but it doesn't matter. You will all die, and I'll be eternal with a new universe under my control." Fiona said as a taunt to break her confidence.

"Will see about that." Emma said as they began to battle while the aurins continue to fight the demons.

"Has this ever happened to anyone before?" Mulan asked the others.

"Not like this." Skylar said as she continues to shoot the shadows.

"Stay focus were in the battle of our lives." Henry said to everyone as he takes down a shadow.

Emma continue to battle the Black Fairy. Both energies begins to clash at each other as Emma as pushes her light at Fiona causing the earth around to break apart with flames, and lava emerging around them. "LIGHT WILL NEVER BE DIE!" Emma yelled as ignites the most powerful tower of light to the sky. In the battlefield Henry, and the Aurins continue to battle the shadows till the shadows began to ceasing.

"Is everyone all right?" Henry asked them.

"A bit exhausted, but I'm okay." Sophie said as the others agreed.

"Wait where's Emma?" Mulan asked.

"Over there." Skylar pointed out the tower of light to everyone.

"What are we supposed to do with a tower of light?" Mikayla asked them.

"I think I got it. Since we're Aurins we have to unite, and focus all of our light to that tower." Henry said as he looks at the tower that Skylar & Alex held Henry's hands Jake grabbed Skylar's hand, Aaron grabbed Alex's as Mikayla, Sophie, Camryn, Alex, KC, Wendy, and Mulan held on as well. The tower of light began to glow brighter as Fiona & Emma gets consumed by the light till exploded shocking the Aurins.

"Oh my god." Mikayla said shock.

"We have to get to her." Henry said as they all race to her, and saw her injured, but okay with no sign of Fiona.

"Emma you okay?" Henry asked as Emma tries to set up.

"Yeah I'm okay. Look at that." Emma said as everyone looks up seeing the sky seeing the universe being created.

"It worked. The universe is reborn." Henry said as the light consumes them.
