Underworld.
In Hades' underground prison, Jeremy is unconscious in a small space, before he suddenly gasps and wakes up. Screaming can be heard in the distance. Jeremy grimaces in pain as he manages to roll over and get onto one knee, clearly very injured.
"You got to be kidding me." Jeremy said
Jeremy manages to get to his feet, and goes to step off the small platform he is on, but is stopped by a female voice.
"Stop. This is not a laughing matter. Don't move. He wants you to think you can escape, but... you can't. No one can." Meg said
"We'll see about that." Jeremy said as he takes one step off the platform
"Don't! He'll hunt you down." Meg said
"Hades already torture me." Jeremy said
"I don't mean Hades." Meg said
"Who?" Jeremy asked Meg
"No. Just don't." Meg said
"My sister is coming for me." Jeremy said
"How do you know she's here?" Meg asked Jeremy
"I know! She would never give up on family and friends. Now, what's keeping us in here?" Jeremy asked again
"Something you don't want to face." Meg said
"Anything I can handle. (He steps off the platform and grunts) Time to go." Jeremy said as he begins to limp towards her
"Are you mad?" Meg asked again
"Maybe. (Jeremy holds his hand out for her.) But I'm the best chance you have. Come on. (Meg whimpers, before taking his hand and standing.) Let's go." Jeremy said
Both Jeremy and Meg begin running from the room they were in and instantly Cerberus can be heard growing from down one of the corridors. Meg is clearly scared and is panicking.
"I told you we'll never make it." Meg said
Jeremy stops her.
"You will. I'll hold them off. Find my sister, Melissa and tell her to find me." Jeremy said
"Ok." Meg said
"Run! Go!" Jeremy said
Meg runs away and Jeremy turns back to where the growing is coming from, and from in the shadows, a three headed dog appears, and slowly Jeremy begins to step backwards.
In the woods.
"It should be over here somewhere." Tatia said
"I thought you said you know a way." Melissa said
"Trust me on." Tatia said
"Robin. Killian. Take Henry with you. (They leave.) There's a trail of it. It's not dry yet. It's fresh." Emma said
"Jeremy?! Jeremy?! Jeremy?!" Melissa said
Melissa runs and follows the trail of the blood, and stops when she sees ruined cloaks.
"Not Jeremy, but I know him." Meg said
"Who are you? Where is he?" Melissa asked Meg
Melissa helps Meg up. In the distance, Cerberus can be heard roaring and the four look in the direction the roar came from.
"We have to get out of here." Meg said
"What the hell is that?" Regina asked Meg
"It's coming. Hide me. We have to go... now!" Meg said
They disappear in a cloud of smoke due to Emma's magic.
The five of them show up to Snow's apartment, which looks un-lived in. Emma takes a sheet off the couch for Meg. Emma picks up a photo in a white frame, which is a picture of Snow and David. Regina walks forward and takes the photo from Emma.
"Creepy, but that seems to be the case. I think we're safe here." Emma said
"It's officially a cold day in hell when I move in with the Charmings." Regina said
Melissa sits down next to Meg.
"Are you okay?" Melissa asked Meg
Meg still clearly shaken.
"I will be." Meg said
"And my brother?" Melissa asked again
"He's in the underground prison. I escaped through tunnels. They let out in a cave somewhere in the woods, and... next thing I knew, you found me. It's being guarded by a terrible monster." Meg said as she gasps in fear
"The three headed demon." Tatia said
"You know about it." Emma asked Tatia
"It can crush your bones with a single bite. And those eyes will burn right through your soul as it finishes you off." Tatia explain
Mary Margaret and David enters the apartment.
"That's not true. I know exactly what this beast is... and how we can defeat it." Mary Margaret said
"Tatia, stay here with Meg." Melissa said
Mary Margaret, Emma, Melissa, and Regina enter Granny's diner, seeking the Blind Witch's help.
"You really think she'll know where he is?" Melissa asked Regina
"Of course. We need someone who sees everyone. Hey, child-muncher. (Walks over to the counter) We're looking for someone." Regina said
"Why should I help you, Regina? You burned me alive." Blind witch said
"It was Hansel and Gretel." Regina said
"At your behest, and with your fireball." Blind witch said
"Fine. Fine. But you stole my apple. What do you think happens when you steal from a witch, witch?" Regina asked the Blind witch
"Fair enough. So, who are you looking for?" Blind witch asked them
"His name's Hercules." Mary Margaret said
"You know, from the myths." Emma said
Blind Witch chuckles.
"I know who Hercules is. He comes in here on his lunch break every day. And no matter how hard I try to fatten him up, his muscles are always bulging. It's a shame. He'd make a great Sunday roast." Blind witch said
"Lunch break from where?" Melissa asked the Blind witch
Melissa, Emma, Regina on Main Street. They see Tyler.
"Oh my God. Where the hell have you been?" Melissa asked Tyler as she hugged him
"Let's just say I have two rivals." Tyler said
Melissa stopped hugging Tyler.
"What do you mean two rivals? (Tyler didn't say anything.) Ty?" Melissa asked again
Both Isobel and John approaching them. Melissa looked shocked.
"Hello Melissa." Isobel said
Melissa looked pissed, tackles Isobel on the ground and starts punching her.
"You...manipulative...psychotic...bitch. (Emma gets her sister off of Isobel.) Em, get off of me." Melissa said
"Calm down." Emma said
Isobel nose is bleeding. Melissa walks away and Emma follows her to make her cool down.
"I guess family reunions is a issue." Regina said
"You have no idea." John said
"You're not Whale. But you do look like him." Regina said
"Yes. I get that a lot around here." John said
"I can see that she still hates me." Isobel said
"Because the two of you never told her the truth." Regina said
"We didn't know that it was her." John said
"You could've told Elena that she had a sister. But you couldn't tell Melissa because you didn't know that she was your other daughter as well?" Regina asked both John and Isobel
"We'll find some way to make it up to her." Isobel said
"Might be too late for that. Considering that you two are grandparents of her children. Which by the way, you'll never see them. Oh, more news too that. Emma, the woman who got Melissa off of you. That's also her adopted sister. Jeremy is here by the way." Regina said
"They know. They're going to help her bring him back." Tyler said
Granny's diner.
Melissa drinking whiskey at the bar.
"Can I get you another one?" Blind witch asked Melissa
"Sure." Melissa said
Emma comes in and sits with her sister.
"Thought you be here. You wanna tell me what happen back there?" Emma asked her sister
"Em, I told you everything. I mean you have a bond with your parents. But I don't. Elena didn't and she got over it. Isobel and John. I have nothing to say to them." Melissa said
"You can see that Regina never had a bond with her mother." Emma said
"Yes. And?" Melissa said
"You two have more in common then you think. (Isobel, John, Tyler, and Regina comes in.) We're gonna leave you three to it." Emma said
Tyler, Regina, and Emma wait outside.
"What do you want?" Melissa asked her parents
"You're drunk." John said
"Really? You think?" Melissa said in sarcasm
Blind witch gave her another one.
"This is a shock to you." Isobel said
"Ok. Um...two parents who abandon two daughters 21 years ago. Elena found out about the parents 4 years ago. What were you going to tell her? That her sister was dead or something?" Melissa asked again
"We had to keep you away from Elena cause of your Traveler abilities." John said
"Right. Cause all this time you knew. I should've guessed it. Katherine told you. That's just great. (Melissa starts too walk away. But stops and turns around.) And just for the record. I would never hurt anyone." Melissa said
Melissa gets out the door and sees Mary Margaret with them.
Two of Hades's prison guards, throw Jeremy to the ground in Hades lair. He is more bloodied and bruised.
"Oh, this is going to be quite an exciting day." Hades said
Jeremy groans in pain and rolls over slightly.
"It will be...when I kill you." Jeremy said
"Why does everyone say that? You can't kill me. I'm Hades. This... (Chuckling) this is death. (Hades bends down and inspects a puncture wound on Jeremy's neck.) Oh, I see you've...you met my pet. You're about to realize his master is not nearly as friendly." Hades said
Melissa, Tyler, Emma, Snow, Regina, and Hercules are in the tunnel which leads to Hades's prison, looking for Jeremy.
"This is the tunnel she said she came out of. Jeremy's in here somewhere." Hercules said
"All right, wonder boy, are you sure you can do this?" Regina asked Hercules
"Regina! (Places her hand on Hercules's shoulder in a supportive manner) I know you can do this." Mary Margaret said
"We'll find your friend. Don't worry. (Starts walking forward.) Wait for me here." Hercules said as he begins walking into the tunnel
In the Underworld Mines, Hercules is still making his way through them, looking for Cerberus. A loud growl comes and Hercules drops the sword as Cerberus comes into full view, and he turns and begins to run.
"Herc!" Mary Margaret said
"Come on." Melissa said
The group stops when Hercules runs around the corner, stopping behind them.
"Whoa." Emma said
The snarling continues, and Snow goes to draw her bow, when someone whistles, the dogs growling instantly stopping.
"What the hell was that?" Regina asked Hercules
"I called them off." Hades said as steps into view
"Who the hell are you?" Tyler asked Hades
"My uncle." Hercules
"Hades?" Regina said
"Don't look so surprised. (Stops in front of them.) Who'd you think was in charge of this place...your mommy?" Hades asked Regina
"Well, if this is your realm, maybe you can answer a few questions. Like why does this hell-hole look like Storybrooke?" Regina asked Hades
"I have my reasons, and I don't have to share them with you." Hades said
"Leave them alone, Uncle." Hercules said
"There's that famous courage people love to talk about. Oh, Hercules, did you really think you could face Cerberus again?" Hades asked his nephew
"Again?" Mary Margaret asked in confusion
Hades gasps.
"You mean he didn't tell you?" Hades asked Mary Margaret
"Cerberus killed you." Mary Margaret said
"Yeah, I didn't want you to know. Snow, I couldn't let you down." Hercules said
"Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of, nephew. After all, losing your life to my little pet is what finally brought us together as family." Hades said
"We're not afraid of you." Mary Margaret said
"Oh. Snow White. My nephew said you were a spitfire, but trust me, you should be quite afraid of me because the next time you interfere with my family, I will come after yours." Hades said
"Bring it. We're not gonna rest until we find Jeremy." Melissa said
"Oh, and that must make you the traveler. (Hades laughs.) Since your brother keeps trying to kill my monster. Now delivering messages. For him, I would deliver this one personally." Hades said as he holds up Jeremy's stake
Melissa looks worried.
"What the hell did you do to him?" Melissa asked Hades
"It's not what I've already done you should worry about now. It's what I'm about to do." Hades said
Hades drops the stake, before disappearing in blue fire.
Mary Margaret's Apartment.
Melissa sitting on a chair near the table and looking down. Tatia puts her hand on Melissa shoulder. Emma and Meg are still sat on the couch, whilst Tyler, Regina, and David are keeping an eye on things. David is looking at the window, when he clearly sees something that concerns him. Glass shatters from upstairs and Emma's bed comes crashing down on to the kitchen counter. Emma and Meg instantly jump up from the couch and so did Melissa and her ancestor, as it's Cerberus.
"Run! Just go!" Emma said
The seven quickly run out of the apartment and into the hallway, all quickly fleeing down the stairs. The group manages to clear out of the hallway, Cerberus bursts through the door. Melissa, Tatia, Tyler, Emma, David, Regina and Meg meet Mary Margaret and Hercules on one of the main streets.
"Where's the prisoner?" Mary Margaret asked them
"She ran when the hellhound attacked." Emma said
"We gave her a head start, but there was only so long we could hold it off." Melissa said
"We should split up. We have to find her before that monster does." Mary Margaret said
"Go." David said
Emma, David, Tyler, and Regina run off in one direction, whilst Melissa, Tatia, Mary Margaret, and Hercules make their way towards the clock tower.
"Come on." Mary Margaret said
Meg is crouched by the clock tower, clearly scared. Mary Margaret sees her and draws her arrow, the four of them make their way towards Meg.
"You shouldn't be here." Meg said
"We don't care." Melissa said
"We're here to help." Mary Margaret said
The growling gets louder and suddenly Meg's eyes widen and she points to Cerberus, who is now in full view.
"He found us." Meg said
"What now?" Hercules asked Mary Margaret
Mary Margaret spots the library.
"We get her in there." Mary Margaret said
Hercules helps Meg to her feet.
"Come on. (The five of them run into the library to hide from Cerberus and they try to keep away from the prowls outside looking for them.) Any bright ideas?" Hercules asked them
"Same as always. We shoot them in the head. Or three heads at one time." Melissa said
One of the windows shatters and Meg screams.
"How are we gonna do that?" Hercules asked again
"With her help. Give her your dagger." Mary Margaret said
Hercules holds his dagger out for Meg. She doesn't take it.
"No, no, I can't do that." Meg said
"Yes, you can." Mary Margaret said
The door to the library bangs, and the five of them jump back in shock, as Cerberus has found where they are hiding.
"You guys find a way. I'll distract." Melissa said
"No Melissa." Mary Margaret said
"Trust me. (Melissa gets out.) Hey you. You over-grown-demon-bitch!(Cerberus looked at her. He walked closer to her.) INCENDIA. (FIRE.) (He was burning but still alive.) Oh crap. I keep forgetting that this was hell." Melissa said as she trips
The door to the library bursts open and Cerberus enters.
"Now!" Mary Margaret said
Mary Margaret shoots one of the heads with her arrows, while Meg and Hercules stab the other heads with their weapons. After a moments, Cerberus disappears in a cloud of black smoke. Tatia helps her descendant up.
"Are you ok?" Tatia asked her descendant
"Yep." Melissa said
"Don't do that again." Mary Margaret said
"Sorry." Melissa apologize
Meg begins chuckling before she begins to faint.
"Whoa. Hey, hey. Hey." Hercules said
Hercules catches Meg, before she stands back up, breathing heavily.
"I guess I'm not used to all that excitement." Meg said
"I'm Hercules." Hercules said
"Megara. But my friends call me Meg." Meg said
At Granny's diner.
Meg is sitting at a table with a blanket around her shoulders, and Hercules sits in front of her, studying Meg. Melissa, Tatia, Tyler, Emma, Mary Margaret, David and Regina watch on-wards.
"Looks like Herc found a new friend." David said
"Mm. Maybe defeating Cerberus wasn't Hercules' only piece of unfinished business. Maybe he needed to save her, too." Mary Margaret said
"Especially I had to distract Cerberus." Melissa said
"You did what?" Emma asked as she was shocked
"I had to. Ok." Melissa said
"I'm gonna let that go." Emma said
Melissa, Tatia, Tyler, Emma, Mary Margaret, David and Regina are in the fire room, as Hercules and Meg prepare to cross to the other side.
"Do you think you can get to the prison through the tunnels?" Meg asked Melissa
"Yes, thanks to you." Melissa said
"If it weren't for Jeremy, I'd still be rotting in that cell. You'll tell him that I did the right thing? That he was right to trust me?" Meg asked again
"I will. Thank you." Melissa thanking Meg
"Are you sure you don't want us to stay and help?" Hercules asked Snow
"I think you've been down here long enough. And if you don't cross before your uncle finds you, who knows what he'll do?" Mary Margaret said
"I was right. You became an amazing hero." Hercules said as he steps forward and hugs Mary Margaret
Hercules stopped hugging Mary Margaret as he and Meg hold hands and begin to cross over the bridge. Olympus appears on the other side.
"Tatia? Why are you not crossing over?" Melissa asked her ancestor
"Because my job isn't done yet." Tatia said
"What do you mean?" Melissa asked again
"Soon you will find out." Tatia said
Jeremy is leaning against Hades's clock on the ground, still bloodied and bruised, as Hades walks towards him.
"The prisoner you aided in escape... she moved on from this realm." Hades said
"Good for her. (Hades magically produces a chiseling tool.) Go ahead. Do it." Jeremy said
"This isn't for you. (Hades chuckles.) It's for your sister and friends. (Hades forces Jeremy to take it.) Yeah." Hades said
"What the hell am I supposed to do with this?" Jeremy asked Hades
"Simple accounting, really. At first, I wanted them to leave. I really had such a smooth-running operation going here before they arrived, but now I've decided they've caused too much damage, so my vindictive side... Did you know I have one? It wants to punish them. So, from now on, for every soul your sister and friends free, one of them is going to have to stay. And, Mr. vampire hunter... you get to decide who." Hades said
Jeremy looks shocked, conflicted and saddened.
