Emma, Madelyn and Henry were somewhere in the woods, Emma was frantically searching for Hook. "Mom, we already covered this trail. It was cold." Henry comment to his mother.

"Then we cover it again, and we keep going until we find a trail that's hot." Emma sighed.

"There is no use." Madelyn comment to her as Jack wasn't there, he was by the ships.

Just then, Regina and Robin walked up to them, both also been searching the woods. "You think there'd be more of those in the Underworld." Regina comment to them. "There's no sign of Hook in the North Woods."

Emma sighed. "Well, we have to keep going. Maybe out by the Troll Bridge."

"Wait." Regina remembered something.

Emma blinked. "What?"

"There may be a way to make our search quicker." Regina replied to her.

"How?" Emma asked to her.

"In Storybrooke, I have schematics..." Regina replied to her. "Maps... of the whole town. Every last inch of it."

"Could have said it sooner, my dear." Madelyn comment to her.

"So you think the equivalent maps of this town are here?" Emma raised an eyebrow at Regina.

"Everything else in Bizarro Storybrooke has an analog so far." Regina replied to her.

Just then, Emma walked off as Robin turned to look at Regina. "I'm on it. You keep working here. I'll go get you your Intel."

"Wait." Regina stopped Robin. "Take Henry."

Robin looked at her. "It might be dangerous."

"My mother's gone now." Regina looked back at him. "The office should be empty. And no one knows it better than Henry. He'll be fine. You'll be there to protect him."

Just then, Robin kissed Regina. "All right, come on. Let's go." Then, he and Henry walked off.

"All right, let's get back to it." Regina turned to see that Emma has already walked away. "Emma?"

"I don't know where she wandered off." Madelyn replied to her.

Just then, Emma shouted out load. "Regina, Madelyn, I found something!"

Regina and Madelyn catches up with Emma and saw the blood. "Blood."

"There's a trail of it." Emma told them. "It's not dry yet. It's fresh. Killian." Then she stood up. "Killian?! Killian?!" She runs and followed the trail of the blood and stopped when she saw ruined cloaks. Regina and Madelyn followed her.

A woman looked up at them. "Not Killian, but I know him."

"Who are you? Where's Killian?" Emma asked to her as then she helped the woman up.

Suddenly, in the distance, a beast can be heard roaring and the four looked in the direction the roar came from. "We have to get out of here." The woman told them very afraid.

"What the hell is that?" Regina asked to her.

"It's coming." The woman was panicking. "Hide me. We have to go... now!" Just then, they disappeared in grey smoke due to Emma's magic.

Emma transported the four of them to Mary Margaret's apartment, which looks un-lived in. "Your parents' apartment? Really?" Regina asked to Emma.

"Full of sheets." Madelyn muttered.

Emma took a sheet off the couch for the woman. "It's the first place I thought of. Here. Lie down."

Regina looked around her. "What if whoever... or whatever... lives here, you know, comes home?"

Emma picked up a photo in a white frame, which was a picture of Mary Margaret and David. "I don't think we have to worry about that."

Regina walked forward and took the photo from Emma. "So this place is just waiting for your parents to die so they can move in?"

"Creepy, but that seems to be the case." Emma replied to her. "I think we're safe here."

"Huh, Jack and I live on the Black Pearl." Madelyn told them.

Suddenly, Regina shuddered. "It's officially a cold day in hell when I move in with the Charming's."

Then Madelyn went over to the woman. "How rude off us, we didn't ask your name, what's that my dear?"

"Meg." The woman, Meg replied to her.

Emma went over to then and sat down next to Meg. "Are you okay?"

Meg stuttered, still clearly shaken up. "I will be."

"And Hook?" Emma asked to her.

Meg looked at her. "I... I don't know."

"Where is he?" Emma asked further.

"In an underground prison." Meg replied to her. "I escaped through tunnels. They let out in a cave somewhere in the woods, and... next thing I knew, you found me."

"Where is the cave? Could you find it again?" Emma asked another question.

Meg nodded. "Yes. But it's being guarded by something... terrible." Gasped in fear.

Emma looked at her. "What's guarding the cave?"

"It... It has three heads. Its... Its teeth can crush your bones with a single bite. And those eyes... they burn right through your soul as it finishes you off." Meg shuddered. "Nothing can defeat this monster."

Just then, Mary Margaret entered the apartment with David. "That's not true. I know exactly what this beast is... and how we can defeat it."

Mary Margaret, Emma, Madelyn and Regina entered Granny's diner, seeking the Blind Witch's help. Emma looked at Regina. "You really think she'll know where he is?"

"If not, I will snap with my fingers." Madelyn replied to her.

"Why?" Emma asked to her.

"You don't wanna find out." Madelyn replied to her.

"Oh." Emma looked at her and how serious she was, then she backed away from her a bit.

"Of course." Regina nodded, replying on Emma very first question. "We need someone who sees everyone. Hey, child-muncher." The she walked over to the counter. "We're looking for someone."

"Why should I help you, Regina? You burned me alive." Blind Witch hissed.

Regina sighed. "It was Hansel and Gretel."

"At your behest, and with your fireball." Blind Witch told her.

"Fine. Fine." Regina rolled with her eyes. "But you stole my apple. What do you think happens when you steal from a witch, witch?"

Blind Witch sighed. "Fair enough. So, who are you looking for?"

"His name's Hercules." Mary Margaret replied to her.

"You know, from the myths." Emma added.

"The young boy." Madelyn muttered to herself.

Blind Witch chuckled. "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."

Mary Margaret looked at her. "Lunch break from where?"

Somehow, Mary Margaret made Hercules agree as then now, Emma, Mary Margaret, Madelyn, Regina and Hercules were in the tunnel which leads to Hades's prison, looking for Hook. Emma looked for her. "This is the tunnel she said she came out of. Hook's in here somewhere."

Regina looked at wonder boy, Hercules. "All right, wonder boy, are you sure you can do this?"

Madelyn snickered. "Wonder boy."

"Regina!" Mary Margaret exclaimed as then she placed her hand on Hercules's shoulder in a supportive manner. "I know you can do this."

"We'll find your friend. Don't worry." Hercules started walking forward. "Wait for me here." Begins walking into the tunnel as then he heard it as he turned and begins to run.

"Herc!" Mary Margaret shouted.

"Come on." Emma called as then rushed over, but the group stopped when Hercules runs around the corner, stopping behind them. "Whoa." Emma exclaimed as the snarling continued and Mary Margaret goes to draw her bow, when someone whistles, the dogs growling instantly stopped.

"What the hell was that?" Regina asked out loud.

"Don't ask me." Madelyn replied to her.

"I called them off." Hades stepped into view.

Emma looked at him. "Who are you?"

"My uncle." Hercules replied to her.

Regina looked surprised. "Hades?"

"Don't look so surprised." Hades stopped in front of them. "Who'd you think was in charge of this place... your mommy?"

"Well, if this is your realm, maybe you can answer a few questions." Regina snarled a bit. "Like why does this hell-hole look like Storybrooke?"

"I have my reasons, and I don't have to share them with you." Hades replied to her.

"Leave them alone, Uncle." Hercules told him.

Hades looked at his nephew. "There's that famous courage people love to talk about. Oh, Hercules, did you really think you could face Cerberus again?"

Mary Margaret looked at Hercules. Again?

Hades gasped. "You mean he didn't tell you?"

Mary Margaret sighed. "Cerberus killed you."

Hercules nodded. "Yeah, I didn't want you to know. Snow, I couldn't let you down."

"Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of, nephew." Hades comment to them. "After all, losing your life to my little pet is what finally brought us together as family."

Mary Margaret stepped forwards a bit. "We're not afraid of you."

Hades gasped dramatically. "Oh. Snow White." Then gasped again. "Or is it Mary Margaret? 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."

"Leave my family alone." Madelyn snarled.

"Oh, Madelyn, remember what I did to your grandchild, I could it do to your husband." Hades gasped dramatically. "We wouldn't want a repeat of it."

But Emma wasn't afraid of him. "Bring it. We're not gonna rest until we find Hook." She stepped closer to Hades.

"Oh, and that must make you Emma." Hades chuckled. "Since your pirate likes to send you messages, I told him I would deliver this one personally." Holding up Killian's bloody hook.

Emma looked worried when she saw all the blood. "What did you do to him?"

"It's not what I've already done you should worry about now. It's what I'm about to do." Hades dropped the hook, before disappearing in blue fire.

Emma and Meg were sitting on the couch, whilst Regina, Madelyn and David were keeping an eye on things. David was looking at the window, when he clearly saw something that concerns him. "Regina?" David quickly stepped away from the window.

Regina looked at him. "What is it? Did Mary Margaret talk Muscles into giving it another go?"

"I don't think so." David replied to her as then glass shattered from upstairs and Emma's bed comes crashing down on to the kitchen counter. Emma and Meg instantly jump up from the couch, as it's Cerberus.

"Well, that's a party crasher." Madelyn comment.

Emma looked at Meg. "Run! Just go!" The five quickly run out of the apartment and into the hallway, all quickly fleeing down the stairs. "Let me guess the Cerberus?" Emma asked as then the group manages to clear out of the hallway, Cerberus bursts through the door.

"Party crasher." Madelyn muttered.

Emma, David, Regina, Madelyn and Meg meet Mary Margaret and Hercules on one of the main streets. Mary Margaret looked worried. "Are you okay? What happened?"

"Cerberus. He found us." David replied to her.

Mary Margaret looked around and saw that one of them was missing. "Where's the prisoner?"

"She ran when the hellhound attacked." Emma replied her mother. "We gave her a head start, but there was only so long we could hold it off."

Mary Margaret sighed. "We should split up. We have to find her before that monster does."

David nodded. "Go." Emma, David, Madelyn and Regina run off in one direction, whilst Mary Margaret and Hercules make their way towards the clock tower.

Not much later, the beast was defeated by Mary Margaret, Hercules and Meg as then they made their way to Granny's. When they arrived there, Hercules was sitting down beside Meg and then they were chatting away as then David comment, glancing at them. "Looks like Herc found a new friend."

Mary Margaret nodded. "Mm. Maybe defeating Cerberus wasn't Hercules' only piece of unfinished business. Maybe he needed to save her, too."

"You okay?" Emma asked to her mother.

"Yeah." Mary Margaret sighed. "You didn't know me in the Enchanted Forest, Emma, but... I was someone who took risks even when she was afraid. I was someone who... I guess, inspired people. An old enemy reminded me of that. I just don't want to ever run the risk of forgetting who I was again."

David looked at her. "What are you saying, Mary Margaret?"

"I'm saying I don't want to be Mary Margaret anymore." Mary Margaret relied to him. "I want to be Snow White again."

"Well, it's about time." Regina comment as Madelyn sneaked away from them, it's wasn't her moment with them, besides they didn't noticed when she sneaked away.

David smiled at her. "I think we can make that happen... Snow."

When Madelyn was outside, she disappeared in bright green smoke as then she appeared on the Black Pearl. "I'm home, my dear."

Just then, Jack walked up to her with a bottle of rum. "About time, love." He kissed her.

"Aye." Madelyn nodded, giving him another kiss.

And so one thing let to another and you all know the rest...
