And now for the conclusion of what happened to Storybrooke in the last adventure already in progress. The purple smoke was swirling around the town as David and Ms. Blanchard were still in town together, embracing each other before a miracle in Storybrooke happened once the smoke was slowly clearing up for them once they could see each other again.

"What's happening?" Mary Margaret asked the blonde man.

"Let's find out." David suggested.

Mary Margaret nodded in agreement. Soon, the two held hands before they then began walking down the street, and encountered Ruby, Kiara, and Granny, their memories also regained, embracing each other until they saw that they had company.

"Snow?" Ruby gushed at the short-haired woman.

Mary Margaret beamed and gushed before hugging Ruby instantly. David and Granny then hugged and comforted each other while Kiara and Evie hugged each other while Mal sort of just stood there. Soon, Leroy and the other men who had been The Seven Dwarves soon approached the scene along with Nova and Dee Dee as Leroy was holding the blonde girl's hand.

"Your Highness?" Leroy greeted Mary Margaret who then smiled at the dwarves.

Soon, the dwarves bowed while Nova curtsied since she was with the dwarves. Dee Dee then also decided to curtsy like her new fairy mama before Mary Margaret then smiled and hugged the dwarves in a big group hug.

"The Curse, it's broken?" Nova then asked softly.

"It would appear so." David nodded before clasping hands with Leroy.

"So what do we do now?" Ruby then asked.

"Is there a Step 2 to this plan?" Kiara added.

"Now? Now I find my daughter." Mary Margaret replied.

"So it's true." Emma said as she soon appeared with Mal and Evie at her sides.

Mary Margaret turned around to her grown daughter and apprehensively, she touched Emma's face, then hugged her, tears in her eyes. "You found us." she then whispered tenderly as David hugged her as well.

Henry soon walked over to the adults. "Grandpa?" he then asked.

Mary Margaret laughed a little as that was true.

"Yeah, kid. I suppose so." David smiled, about to hug the boy who was his grandson.

"Henry!" Dee Dee's voice piped up before she suddenly zipped over and pounced on top of the boy to hug him as they both landed in the middle of the ground together.

The adults blinked before laughing a little bit, finding what the little kids were doing to be rather cute.

"Dee Dee..." Henry smiled at his best friend.

"Henry, I knew you'd be okay! I knew it!" Dee Dee beamed while hugging her best friend.

"Yeah... It's okay now, Dee Dee," Henry smiled before he looked up and over before Evie helped the kids back up to their feet. "Evie, Mal, and Emma did it. They saved you." he then told his grandparents.

"They saved all of us." Mary Margaret nodded.

"I... Well..." Emma stammered sheepishly.

"Uh, then why are we still here?" Leroy soon asked out of confusion.

"That, my friend, is an excellent question." David remarked.

Mr. Clark then suddenly sneezed as he was Sneezy the Dwarf. "And what was that smoke?" he then asked.

"Who did this?" Roy Avalon asked.

"And what was that smoke?" Scotty Macario added.

"And why?" Nova then wondered.

"And what was that smoke?" Jerry Coleman then asked.

"Magic," Mother Superior reported as she soon joined the group with Jane and Carlos following her. "It's here. I can feel it."

Mary Margaret then suddenly touched the woman's hands.

"I think I can feel it too." Jane spoke up.

"Oh, trust me, my dear. There is a very special reason for that." Mother Superior told the young girl then.

"Magic? In Storybrooke?" Carlos then asked.

"Yes, it would appear so." Nova told the freckled boy.

"But you're The Blue Fairy," Henry soon told Mother Superior. "Do something magical."

"It's not quite that simple, Henry," Mother Superior told the younger boy. "No wand. No fairy dust. Matters are complicated now."

"What do we do now?" Nova soon wondered.

"The only thing we can do," Leroy told her as he held onto Dee Dee's hand. "Let's go to the person responsible for bringing it. The Queen."

The other dwarves then nodded and voiced agreement.

"No. Wait. It wasn't Regina." Emma protested against them.

"Who then?" Mal then asked before looking around. "And where's my mom?"

Emma looked a bit soft and distant, apprehensive about answering that question right away since she knew very well what had happened to Maleficent.

"Where's my mom, Emma?" Mal demanded urgently.

"She... Uh... She..." Emma said softly as she still hesitated. "...I'll tell you later, okay?"

Mal glanced at Emma before she then nodded, trying to stay patient in finding out as she planned that she and her mother would leave Storybrooke together to live together in harmless mother/daughter bonding for the rest of their days.

"Speaking of Mom, I should probably go and see her." Evie suggested.

"Maybe in a little bit." Emma then told Evie.

"Okay, so if Mayor Mills didn't do all of this, then who did?" Dee Dee soon asked.

"I think I have a pretty good idea of who." Mal remarked as she raised an eyebrow then.

Meanwhile, back at the wishing well, Rumple continued to embrace Belle as she reunited with their son as he got to know the mother he never had time to know better.

"My darling Belle. You have to tell us what happened to you." Rumple said to his long-lost love.

"I was abducted." Belle stated, remembering what Jefferson had told her in the hospital when he helped set her free.

"Regina?" Rumple guessed gently.

"She locked me away until her curse," Belle replied as she nodded. "And I've been in the asylum ever since."

"For 28 years. All these years, you've been here. Alive." Rumple softly replied from shock and heartbreak.

"Is that... Is that why you did this?" Belle then asked him. "Why you wanted magic? For revenge?"

"Oh, no," Rumple replied until an idea was hatched from his brain. "...But it might come in handy."

"Dad..." Ben said in a warning tone of voice.

"No. No!" Belle cried out in protest.

"I cannot let this stand, Belle, I will not let this stand!" Rumple vowed to both his lover and son.

"Dad, no..." Ben frowned a bit in concern as his father started to sound evil.

"...Look," Belle said to Rumple, taking his hand to help calm him before he would do anything rash. "Promise us. Promise us you won't give in to your hate. Promise us you won't kill her."

Rumple then looked away from both Ben and Belle.

"Please Dad," Ben piped up with a small pout. "I know what Mayor Mills did was bad... But she's the mother of my best friend. Don't hurt her."

"Promise us and we can be together," Belle added tenderly. "All of us. As a family."

"Oh. Sweetheart, I promise." Rumple coaxed as he caressed his missing wife's face.

The two soon kissed and embraced while Ben stood there.

"Dad... Don't make it gross." Ben spoke up playfully.

"Benjamin, you mind your parents now." Rumple tutted and chuckled.

"Yes, maybe someday you'll do this with a special girl you love too." Belle added warmly.

"Well... That does sound nice," Ben replied. "If I ever do find the right girl."

"Well, what about Evie?" Rumple then asked. "You two have been hanging out together since you were in diapers."

"Dad... Evie and I are just friends," Ben insisted before blushing sheepishly at the idea of dating the mayor's daughter. "And... Well... We luckily became best friends again after she decided to stop showing off for The Pinkettes... Especially that girl Magda."

"Magda... Isn't she that girl who often acts like the center of attention?" Rumple then asked his son.

"You have no idea, Dad," Ben rolled his eyes. "I don't know what her deal is, but frankly I don't like it."

"Well, I wouldn't worry about her," Belle spoke up. "Just try to stay focused on the good people in your life... I know I have." she then said with a small smile and reached out to stroke her true love's hair.

"Mm... Indeed, my dear Belle~" Rumple nodded and grinned. "Things are going to be different in Storybrooke from now on. I promise both of you and Benjamin, I won't lose you like I lost my last chance."

Ben looked curious. "...Lost your last chance?" he then asked.

Rumple flinched a little nervously before biting his lip.

"...Is this about my brother you were gonna tell me about once?" Ben then guessed based on how his father reacted to that question.

"...Yes," Rumple admitted as he released a deep sigh. "I should tell you more about him, but later. All right, Benjamin?"

"...Fine, Dad. Just don't forget or act like you forget," Ben then said to his father. "We're family and we should help each other and be open about whatever is on our minds."

"And I thoroughly agree," Rumple nodded. "Eventually though."

"Good..." Ben approved. "I'll just try to be patient."

"Very good." Rumple replied as he kept a hold on Belle as she smiled at the very happy family reunion, especially since she had a son now.

"I've visited you in the hospital every day for as long as before I can even remember," Ben soon told his estranged mother. "I don't know if Gertrude the nurse ever told you, but I'd been leaving roses for you and I wanted to meet you, but I could never know who you were or even see you phsyically since I'm not 18 yet. Who would've guessed it was my mother all this time?"

"It was very sweet of you either way," Belle smiled warmly before she hugged the boy. "Thank you, Benjamin, and I can't wait to get to know you better after being locked up for 28 years."

"I look forward to it too... Mom." Ben smiled back.

Rumple smiled very warmly at the display between his lover and son as he could tell that they were all going to live happily ever after together.

"So, what should we do now?" Ben then asked his parents.

"Oh... Uh... Um... Hmm..." Belle paused thoughtfully, not sure what to say to that question.

"I have an idea," Rumple spoke up. "We'll head back to the shop."

"Shop?" Belle then asked.

"It's a long story." Ben told his mother who then nodded in response.

Soon, the Gold family left the forest and soon headed right for the pawnshop to get settled and comfortable together.

Rumple unlocked the door and let his lover and son inside the shop before he then faced Belle. "You, uh... You wait here, Belle. I'm gonna find you something to wear. You've spent enough time in these rags." he then told the woman kindly.

"Thank you." Belle nodded.

"Benjamin, you wait here too and get to know your mother better." Rumple then told his teenage son.

"That sounds like a good idea." Ben smiled and nodded.

Rumple smiled back at both of them before he soon went to go into the back of his shop. While he was in the back room which he always told Ben to never go into without permission, especially if he was away unless he was told to sweep up in there, he soon brought out a large cabinet and then unlocked it. He then put on a pair of black gloves while opening the cabinet and brought out a certain amulet that came from The Enchanted Forest. "Benjamin, I'll be back later, but you need to learn who your father is," he then whispered to himself. "You need to know your destiny... As the descendant of Rumplestiltskin."

Back on the main street of Storybrooke, Emma and the others continued to walk around together, wondering what to do next after the curse had been broken and people could now adjust to their new fairy tale lives.

"Is there anything that you wanted to ask us?" Mary Margaret soon asked Emma as they walked along together. "I mean, you must have questions."

"Such as where is my mom right now?" Mal added.

"I wasn't talking to you, but I'm sure Emma will tell you soon." Mary Margaret told the purple-haired girl.

"The only questions I have are for Mr. Gold," Emma soon said. "Why did he double-cross me, and what did he do to this town?"

Mary Margaret looked soft. "Uh... Shouldn't we talk about 'it' first?" she then suggested.

"What?" Emma asked her then.

"Us. Your life. Everything?" Mary Margaret clarified then.

"Can we do 'everything' maybe later?" Emma suggested. "Like, with a glass of wine. Or several bottles?"

"Dibs." Mal chuckled eagerly.

"Mal..." Evie sighed and rolled her eyes slightly.

"You got a problem with that, Princess Blueberry?" Mal teased.

"Hmph... I'm not sure about you sometimes..." Evie firmly pouted.

"Believe me, neither are we half the time." Carlos added, referring to himself and Jay.

"I know it's a lot to take in," David replied. "For all of us and probably the descendants too."

"Yeah... Like is my name even really 'Jayden Shahryār'?" Jay spoke up.

"And is my name even really 'Carlos Hellman'?" Carlos soon added. "I feel like there's more to our lives and we were just given different or new lives compared to other descendants."

"How do you think I feel?" Doug remarked as he followed his parents. "I'm the son of a dwarf and a literal cat lady... No offense, Mom."

"None taken, Kitten," Ebony smiled as she purred a little. "I'm just glad to be back in you and your father's lives again."

Dopey also smiled as he had to agree with that, even if he couldn't vocally agree but his face said it all.

"And we don't want to push, but we've waited for this moment for so long..." Mary Margaret soon said to Emma warmly.

"Yeah, so have I! I've thought about this moment my entire life. I've imagined who you might be, but of all the scenarios that I concocted, my parents being..." Emma replied before she looked back at her parents, still taken aback that she was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming before she sighed and decided not to say that. "I-I just need a little time. Th-That's all." she then added.

The two looked soft before everyone then jolted as a commotion was then heard.

"Snow?" David asked his wife in concern.

"Look!" Evie cried out and pointed out to see what the commotion was all about.

Many townspeople, including Dr. Whale, were running through the streets as Archie approached the group.

"There you are. Come with me, I need your help," Archie alerted the adults. "Dr. Whale's whipped everyone into a frenzy. They're going to Regina's house. They're gonna kill her!"

"Great. Let's watch." Leroy replied flatly.

"Leroy!" Nova pouted.

Leroy just shrugged in response as Dee Dee firmly pouted at him, so he sighed and gave in. "Sorry~" he then said so that the two women he deeply cared about wouldn't both be angry with him.

Mal looked like she was about to say something as she smirked a little before Evie put her hand on the other girl's shoulder and shook her head, knowing the purple-haired girl would say something very grim and dark.

"No. No, we cannot stoop to her level," Archie retorted. "No matter who she is or what she's done, killing her is wrong."

"He does have a point," Evie spoke up before looking at Emma. "You have to save my mother."

"Yeah. Please," Henry then added. "She's still my mom too."

Emma looked at Henry and Evie before she then looked at Mary Margaret. "We have to stop them." she then said urgently.

Mary Margaret then looked around before looking at David as he spoke to her next.

"If The Blue Fairy is right and magic is here, Regina could have her powers back," David warned Mary Margaret. "They could be marching into a slaughter."

The two then shared a glance before nodding at each other. And soon, the group took off down the street. Leroy ran so fast with Dee Dee that her feet barely touched the ground and her pigtails even flew with the wind.

Meanwhile, at the Mills' house, the mob of townspeople shouted outside as Dr. Whale banged on her front door.

"Open up! Open up or we're coming in!" Dr. Whale called out as he banged on the door a couple of times.

Regina then opened the door with an innocent smirk at the crowd in front of her. "Can I help you?" she then asked peacefully.

"That smirk isn't gonna last forever, Regina," Dr. Whale glared. "You took everything from us. And now-"

"What? Now you're gonna kill me?" Regina interrupted as she continued to smirk.

"Eventually, but first, you need to suffer." Dr. Whale retorted.

Regina soon stepped outside and shoved Dr. Whale. "Listening to you has been enough suffering for all of us," she then told the doctor before addressing the crowd. "That's right. You wanted to see your Queen? Well, my dears," she then taunted before slowly raising her arms and enunciating. "Here... She... Is!" she then flung her hands forward and the crowd cowered and ducked, all clearly expecting magic. However, nothing happened as she looked shocked and the crowd recovered.

"She's powerless!" Chad called out from the crowd, standing with Sean and Ashley who had Alexandra in a baby pink stroller.

"What...?" Regina muttered in concern.

"Get her!" Zevon yelled out, standing with his sister Yzla.

Dr. Whale and the crowd then moved toward Regina, shoving her up against a column. "Now, where were we?" he then asked, raising his hands towards Regina's throat.

However, luckily for Regina, Emma and the others soon arrived.

"Let her go! Let her go! Let her go!" Emma demanded as she grabbed Dr. Whale's arm.

"Why should I listen to you?" Dr. Whale glared at the blonde woman.

"Because I am still the Sheriff." Emma glared back.

"Because she saved you. All of you!" David added as he looked at the crowd.

"And because no matter what Regina did, it does not justify this!" Mary Margaret soon added.

"We are not murderers here." Evie then concluded.

"Well, we're not from this world." Dr. Whale scoffed at all of them, even to Evie.

"Yeah, well, you're in it now," Mal spoke up. "Even if Regina is responsible for my mother being trapped under this town for the past 10 years."

Regina then looked over and looked wide-eyed at Mal.

"Okay, Whale. We're done." David then decided, coming to stand between Emma and Regina.

"Back off! You're not my prince." Dr. Whale huffed.

David glared before he began to wonder where Dr. Whale probably came from back in The Enchanted Forest. "Who are you, Whale?" he then asked.

"That's my business." Dr. Whale defended.

"Well, my business is making sure this town doesn't go to Hell, so whether or not I'm your prince isn't the issue," David then said. "We have a lot to figure out. And this isn't the way to do it."

"And Regina's death won't provide any answers," Mary Margaret then added as she came to stand beside Regina. "She needs to be locked up. For her safety, and more importantly, for ours."

Evie frowned as she looked concerned for her mother. Mal appeared to look indifferent about the situation.

Soon, the main group of Emma, David, Mary Margaret, Dee Dee, Doug, Evie, and Mal met up at the Storybrooke Sheriff Department as David locked Regina in a cell.

"So, I'm a prisoner now?" Regina asked in a huff.

"If the curse is broken, why didn't we go back?" David retorted.

"Because there's nothing to go back to," Regina simply explained. "That land is gone."

Mary Margaret soon had an idea. "We should get to Gold." she then suggested.

The others nodded as they decided to get going.

"Wait." Evie said as she still wanted a little bit more time.

"You wanna say goodbye?" Doug guessed to Evie.

"Yes, I do," Evie nodded. "I'll try to make this quick."

The others then looked at each other before looking back at the now blue-haired girl.

"See that you do." David then told Evie.

"Yes, sir," Evie replied. "Can I have a little bit of privacy with my mother?"

"You want me to go too then?" Henry asked his big sister.

"Yes, if you don't mind," Evie said to Henry. "I'll to you again a little bit later, Henry."

Henry then nodded before he went with the others to go ahead and wait outside, but they would wait for Evie before they would do anything else like talk to Mr. Gold.

"Hey, Mom," Evie softly said as she walked over to the couch beside the cell and sat down. "How are you?"

"I'm away from home and locked up in a cell... How do you think I feel?" Regina firmly pouted before she took a second look at her daughter. "...Evie. You hair..."

"I know, it's different like Mal's," Evie nodded. "I guess that's just our magic being unleashed and returned to us somehow. Did we always have magic?" she then asked. "Me and the other descendants I mean?"

"Yes... You did..." Regina explained delicately. "It was locked away and hidden from you all to protect you from the curse in the new world when I cast that curse when you were all just babies and you grew up in Storybrooke along with Henry."

"I thought so... I even had to sacrifice my Penelope Dragon toy," Evie then concluded. "I'm not mad at you, Mom, just so you know."

"I didn't think you would be, my little princess," Regina replied softly. "These things just, unfortunately, happen even if I had been winning for the past 28 years after I vowed to destroy Snow White and Prince Charming's happiness if it was the last thing I'd do. These are just the cards we were dealt with in life... My mother was a Queen, I became one, and soon you will too as the next mayor of Storybrooke if we continue these stories in the chapter book we all call life."

"Grandma was a Queen?" Evie asked softly.

"Yes... I'll tell you more about her someday," Regina nodded. "But she was a queen, then you know I obviously became queen, and then someday, you will write your own story to become the next queen."

Evie looked soft as she looked like she wanted to tell her mother something about that with the idea of becoming the next Mayor of Storybrooke. It was her destiny and she was the daughter of The Evil Queen after all, but she really didn't want to do that with her life and had other things in mind even though she wasn't fully sure what she wanted just yet.

"Isn't that right, Evie?" Regina then continued since she expected a response from what she just said.

"Erm... Y-Yes... That sounds great..." Evie replied in a bit of a shaky and shallow voice as she tried to cover up her true feelings.

Regina seemed to frown slightly. "...Evie, is there something you're not telling me?" she then asked. "You do want to follow your destiny as my descendant to become the next Evil Queen, don't you?"

"I... Uh... Well... I..." Evie stammered.

Regina raised an eyebrow as she could tell that Evie had something on her mind that she was clearly trying to hide.

"Perhaps your princess realizes that magic is different here, dearie." Rumple's voice suddenly said, startling both Regina and Evie since they didn't know that he was there before they looked over at him.

"I noticed," Regina glared. "I assume this is all your doing."

"Most things are," Rumple replied darkly before facing Evie. "Young Miss Mills, while I'm glad to see you, I'm afraid your mother and I have some private business to discuss between we grown-ups. You understand, right?"

"That's quite all right, Mr. Gold," Regina spoke up. "Whatever you have to tell me, you can say right in front of both of us: me and Evie. Right, dear?" she then asked her daughter.

"I... Uh... I think I should go now actually..." Evie replied as she stood up. "You can talk to her, Mr. Gold. Just go easy on her, okay?"

"No promises~" Rumple grinned before he nodded his head at her. "You have a nice day now, dearie."

"Yes, sir. Thank you," Evie replied before looking at her mother. "We'll talk later, okay?"

"Okay," Regina said, trying to be understanding. "Take care of yourself and your brother then."

"Yes, ma'am. Goodbye." Evie nodded before she then stood up and left the station to go and meet the others back outside to discuss a plan together.

"Such a lovely young lady you have, Mayor Mills..." Rumple grinned as he watched Evie go before looking back at the cell. "They grow up so fast, don't they?"

"Get to it, Rumple. What do you want?" Regina demanded impatiently. "You here to finish the job?"

"No, no, no. You're safe from me." Rumple reassured.

"I feel so relieved." Regina replied rather sarcastically.

"I made a promise to someone that I won't kill you." Rumple then added.

"Who could elicit that from you?" Regina then asked.

"My son Benjamin's mother... Perhaps you've heard of her," Rumple replied. "Belle."

"She's alive?" Regina asked as her eyes slowly widened in response.

"You are a dreadful liar." Rumple replied with a dark grin on his face.

"I could have killed her... But I didn't." Regina defended.

"Yeah, you did much worse than that. You kept her alive, so you could kill her when it suited you," Rumple retorted. "A fate worse than death. Which, incidentally, is exactly what I've got in store for you." he then suddenly reached through the bars of the cell, grabbing Regina's hand and pulling it to him before producing the amulet from his shop and pressing it against her open palm instantly.

"Is that...?" Regina began nervously.

"Yes, dearie. The one thing no one can escape. Destiny. And I promise, yours is particularly unpleasant," Rumple grinned fiendishly before releasing Regina as she pulled back her hand and glared at him as he quietly and sinisterly chuckled at her misfortune. "Oh~"

Regina looked very unfortunate as she was now trapped, especially with the mark of a certain beast as the one who had marked her left to go back to his shop.

As Rumple went back into his shop, he went to get a certain other item and then hid it in his suit pocket before it could b seen.

"Dad?" Ben called as he stepped over into the back room. "Whatcha doing?"

"I have to run out for a quick errand," Rumple replied before he faced his son with a grin. "Why don't you accompany me? ...Where is your mother?" he then asked.

"She wanted to explore, I wasn't sure whether to go with her or not because she's a grown woman... I just hope she'll be okay on her own." Ben shrugged bashfully.

"That's quite all right, Benjamin," Rumple then said before grinning at his son. "Get your coat and shoes on. You can join me on this little errand."

"Oh... Uh... All right..." Ben said nervously. "I suppose I should be able to do that."

"Yes... Just come along and it will be just fine." Rumple insisted to his teenage son.

Ben then walked over to the coat rack and put his jacket on before he then followed his father out of the shop to see what would happen. "Where are we going, Dad?" he then asked.

"Oh, we're going to do something very important that a certain someone shan't forget." Rumple replied with a smirk.

"...Dad, did you hurt Evie's mother?" Ben asked cautiously. "You promised-"

"You and your mother that I wouldn't hurt her, yes. I won't," Rumple interrupted before nodding. "But this is important for you to see so you know who your father is. You're my descendant after all and this is what your story will be in the future."

Ben frowned as he looked unsure about that, feeling bad as his father was said to be a villain and he was destined to become one too. Or he could be a hero like his mother in a literal sense. He started to get an idea based on one forming before as he continued to follow his father into the woods of Storybrooke.
