Melissa, Nadia, Tessa, Liv, Henrick, Emma, Hook, David, Henry and Regina are by the fallen clock-tower.
It's night time.
"You told her what?" Emma asked Regina
"To give him a chance." Regina said
"And you thought that was a good idea because?" David asked Regina
"Because we're family. And I'm trying to trust Zelena. She thinks she can change Hades." Regina said
"I'm sorry, luv, I missed the part where Zelena changed." Hook said
"You'd think the ex-pirate with a rum habit would cut my sister some slack." Regina said
"Well, you'd think that the Evil Queen would be smarter than to send the Wicked Witch to romance the most devious man alive." Hook said
"Yes. The devious man who torture my brother." Melissa said
"Easy, guys. We're not gonna win the war against Hades if we use all our ammo on each other." Emma said
Hades walking towards them.
"The Savior has a point." Hades said
"What the hell are you doing here?" Hook asked Hades
"Get behind me, kid." Emma said as she pushes her son behind her
"Oh, I didn't find you to hurt you." Hades said
"What do you want?" Melissa asked Hades
"I came for your...(Hades sighs.) Wow, this is hard. Help." Hades said
"What could you possibly want our help with?" David asked Hades
"Simple. I went to meet Zelena for our date and found this." Hades said as he holds a piece of parchment up
Regina steps forward and takes it. Opens and reads it.
"No." Regina said
Regina hands the parchment to Emma. She reads it.
"Zelena, she's been kidnapped by Gold and Pan." Emma said
"They're asking for a meeting tomorrow morning." Hades said
Melissa looks at the parchment.
"Gold wants you to tear up the contract for his unborn child." Melissa said
"So, do it. I just got my sister back. I'm not going to lose her now." Regina said
"Neither will I. I'll give them what they want, but I know the Stiltskins and their tricks. They're not gonna keep their word. Not unless I have an ace up my sleeve." Hades said
"Luckily for you, you got one." Regina said
"I'm sorry. You've been Zelena's doting sister for all of what, three hours? No." Hades said
"Who's going to be more motivated than me?" Regina asked Hades
Hades turns to face Emma.
"Emma." Hades said
"What? Why?" Emma asked in confusion
"If Zelena gets out of this alive, I'm prepared to offer you a deal." Hades said
"Don't trust a word he says, Emma." Hook said
"Now I agree with the pirate." Regina said
"If you help me save her, I'll take everyone's names off their headstones." Hades said
"So we can leave the Underworld." Emma said
"Yes." Hades said
2 hours now.
Melissa, Liv, Nadia, Tessa, Henrick, Emma, Hook, David, Regina, Henry, Zelena and Hades are at the graveyard, where the fallen clock-tower has now appeared. The hands continuously tick.
"How'd it get here?" David asked Hades
"The hands are moving." Emma said
"Is that a good sign or a bad one?" Melissa asked Hades
"It's a great one if you want to leave. When those hands spin fast enough in about an hour, it'll turn into an open portal back." Hades said
"Which we can't go through because of those. (Regina indicates to the graves) So, let's get on with it." Regina said
"Gladly. (Hades magically removes all their names from the graves) There. As promised. You're no longer tied to this realm." Hades said
"I told you love could change him." Zelena said
"I don't buy it. A man can't change that quickly." Hook said
"We're free to go through the portal when it opens." Nadia said
"People hasn't really escape the Underworld." Hades said
"You're telling me no one's gone to the Underworld and brought someone back? Even my magic can bring someone back." Melissa said
"Then again it will ruin your forces of nature." Hades said
"But in this underworld. They have." Melissa said
"A long time ago, there was a rumor. There's no proof it actually worked." Hades said
"Tell me everything." Melissa said
Melissa, Liv, Nadia, Tessa, Henrick, Emma, Hook, David, Henry, Regina and Zelena are with Hades in his private chambers. They are looking at myth that could help Melissa.
"Orpheus and Eurydice." Hades said as said as he hands the book to Henry
"I know this myth. She died, and he followed her to the Underworld to get her back." Hook said
"These are the only two souls who ever escaped my realm." Hades said
"How? I thought you said they broke the laws of nature." David said
"Orpheus helped Eurydice escape by feeding her ambrosia, the food of the gods." Hades said
"And where exactly do you get some of that? 'Cause I don't recall seeing it on the menu at the Blind Witch's." Regina said
In the library, looking at the same elevator Melissa, Emma and Regina tried to break into it. Hades removes the wall they couldn't, and reveals the shaft.
"An elevator? I'm the Traveler. I've got magic." Melissa said
"And I'm the Lord of the Underworld. That should tell you something. The ambrosia, it's powerful, and like a petty spoiled child, it wants all the power for itself. Everything else is shut down below. There's no hopping in and out in a puff of smoke. This is the only way, and once you're down there, you're on your own." Hades said
Melissa steps forward.
"And then what? We're knee deep in a field of ambrosia? Can't be that easy." Melissa said
"I'm not really sure. Even I've never ventured that far down." Hades said
"So I'm going to the one place in hell where the devil is afraid to go." Melissa said
"Not hell and not the devil." Zelena said
"And not because I'm afraid. There's a test to ensure that only those who are worthy of eating ambrosia can reach it, and it will require offering up your heart for judgment. (Hades takes Melissa's heart and she gasps. Hades places Melissa heart in a bag and holds it out to her.) My gift to you. Take good care of it." Hades said
Melissa takes the bag.
"Let's have this be the last time we do this today." Melissa said
"Just trying to help." Hades said
"You don't have to do this, Melissa." Emma said
"All of this was my fault. Jeremy shouldn't have to sacrifice his own life to save all of us from the Dark Ones. If someone deserves to be down here, it's me." Melissa said
"Don't say that. You had every right to save him. Not just him. But look what you did. (Both Emma and Melissa looked at Nadia, Liv, Henrick, and Tessa and they looked back at each other.) It seems that I'm not the only Savior now." Emma said
"I'm coming back." Melissa said
"We'll be right here waiting for you." David said
Henry steps forward.
"I love you, Aunt Melissa." Henry said
Melissa hugs her nephew.
"I love you, too, Henry." Melissa said
Melissa pulls back from the hug. She walks to the elevator, shutting the gate, before she start to go down.
The elevator slowly comes to a jerky stop at the bottom. She try to stay stable.
"Looks like this is my stop." Melissa said to herself
Melissa opens the gate for herself, and she steps out. She switches on her torch and she begin to make her way through the dark tunnel.
Melissa finally make it out of the tunnel. She come across a stone table with brass scales on. She attempts to read the writing. Melissa reads it with ease.
"Only a heart filled with true love can pass." The only question is, what the hell does it mean? (Melissa slowly places her heart on the scales and steps back. She stand looking at the scale and nothing happens.) It didn't work. (She tries to take her heart off of the scales, but is suddenly engulfed by flames. She realized something.) Now I know. (She closed her eyes and focused. She loved everyone in the past, present, and future.) I'm changing everyone's fate. Enemies become friends. (She thinks of Regina, Hook, Hayley, Luka, Mr. Martin, Tessa, Klaus, Rebekah, and Damon.) Siblings, mothers, fathers, Aunt, uncle, nephew, and ancestor finding each other. (She thinks of Emma, Henry, Jeremy, Elena, Isobel, John, Jenna, Grayson, Miranda, Nadia and Ingrid.) Friends who were lost with memory and none that weren't. (She thinks of Snow, David, Neal, Elijah, Lexi, Freya, Marcel, Camille, Stefan, Bonnie, Caroline, Tyler, Liz, Liv, Luke, Matt, Alaric, Jo, Harper, Pearl, and Anna.) I've created my own family. A husband, a daughter and a son. (She thinks of August, Jenna, and Baelfire.) (She looks at her heart for a few moments. The door to the Ambrosia tree opens and she looks in surprise.) I did it. (She smiles and ran into the Ambrosia chamber. She sees that all the fruit is dead and the tree has been cut.) No. (Picks up an Ambrosia and it turns to dust.) The ambrosia are dead. Unless...(She realized something.) Hades." Melissa said
Melissa is on her hands and knees looking for anything from the Ambrosia tree that could save herself down there. She stands a strong rumbling comes, knocking herself off balance. She run out of the chamber.
Melissa run back down the tunnel and towards the elevator and shuts the gate.
Melissa is in the elevator as it comes up to the top. The doors open and she lifts the gate and steps out. Emma, Hook, Nadia, Liv, Henrick, Tessa, David, Henry, Robin and Regina turn to face her, surprised.
"Melissa." Both Emma and Nadia said in relieved
Melissa hugs them both.
"I did it. But we have to hurry to get to the thing." Melissa said
"We can't. The Blind Witch cast a spell trapping us here." Regina said
"One guess, she got it from Hades. This whole thing has been a setup to keep us trapped in the Underworld." Melissa said
"You mean, the ambrosia..." David said as Melissa cuts him off
"It wasn't there. But we can still get out." Melissa said
"Yeah." Emma said
Melissa, Emma, and Regina use their magic and manage to blast open the library doors.
"You did it." Henry said
"It's getting late." Hook said
"Let's get out of here." Emma said
Henry grabs his backpack, and picks up the book with all the finished loose pages. He sets it down in plain sight.
"People will find them." Henry said
Melissa, Nadia, Liv, Henrick, Tessa, Emma, Hook, David, Henry, Robin and Regina run towards the portal.
"The portal, it's closing! Henry! Hurry! Hurry! Go!" Emma said
Henrick, Liv, Tessa, Henry, Regina and Robin climb through the portal. As David, Nadia, Emma, and Hook goes to go through, they notices that Melissa has stopped and is taking a step in the direction they just came from.
"When my heart was glowing as bright it made me realized that I was really helping others out there. Like they need it. It was part of my armor. I can't lose anyone else that I care about." Melissa said
"Let's go." Nadia said
Nadia, Emma, Hook, and David goes through the portal. Melissa pauses once more to look at the Underworld, she turns and about to go in. But Katherine, tackled her and pin her on the ground.
"You ruin my life." Katherine said as she punches Melissa
"Get off of me you bitch." Melissa said
Melissa blast her and Katherine was flying down. She gets up and ran through the portal. The portal closes, and the clock hands stop on 8:15, before ticking.
