Neal was soon rowing a boat over to Skull Rock while containing Rumple, Regina, Emma, and Evie. Once they made it to shore, they got out of the boat.

Emma was soon looking down at the ground. "These are Henry's shoes." she then realized.

"So Wendy was telling the truth," Evie added. "Pan and Henry are here. Let's go get 'em then." she then narrowed her eyes in determination.

Emma nodded as she walked ahead of the others to the steps on the island only to get thrown back suddenly.

"Emma! Are you okay?" Evie asked the blonde woman out of concern.

"I think so." Emma grunted once she hit the ground.

"What the heck was that?" Evie wondered.

"Pan cast a protection spell." Rumple realized.

"There has to be a way to break it." Regina said before she conjured up a fireball and blasted it only for it to ricochet back towards them.

"Whoa! Careful with that!" Neal cried out as he and the others ducked down from the flames.

"Try all you want, but Pan's magic is too powerful. At least for you." Rumple advised the others before he walked right through the protection spell with no harm or penetration.

"Wha...?" Regina murmured in shock.

"How did you do that?" Emma wondered.

"The spell is designed to keep anyone who casts a shadow from entering." Rumple explained, telling them one thing.

"And you don't have one," Neal then realized. "You were telling the truth about ripping your shadow off."

"That sounds really painful." Evie commented.

"It's really not so bad and Pan knows that I did it," Rumple then explained to them. "That's why he cast the spell he did. This isn't about keeping you out. It's about drawing me in. He knows I won't give up the chance to finish what I came here to do."

"You really did come here to save Henry." Neal softly said to his father.

"I gave you my trust with that box," Rumple then said. "Now I need you to give it back."

"You better come through, Gold. Or I'll make whatever Pan has planned for you look like child's play. You understand me?" Regina warned and threatened the man.

"Well, a simple 'good luck' would've sufficed." Rumple soon said as he kept the box and with one look, he took off while everyone else stayed behind.

"So what are we supposed to do now?" Regina asked the others.

"What about the spell my father used to rip off his shadow?" Neal suggested.

"Yeah! Mom, you have to cast that spell on me too," Evie then said. "Henry's my little brother and I promised to protect him and keep him happy."

"You think if I knew how to do that, I wouldn't have done it already?" Regina retorted.

Emma looked up at the sky and suddenly had an idea. "The moon." she then said.

"The moon?" Regina repeated curiously.

"The moon is what causes our shadows, right?" Emma then rhetorically asked.

"Yes, of course," Evie replied. "There are three shadows with the moon after all: the umbra, penumbra, and antumbra."

"I was sure you'd know all about that, but what I'm saying is what if there was a way to block it out using magic?" Emma said to the teenage girl before she explained.

"What? You mean like an eclipse?" Neal asked Emma. "Is that even possible?"

"Maybe." Regina shrugged.

"So...?" Emma asked, expecting there to be more from that.

"I need help." Regina admitted.

"With magic?" Evie asked her mother.

"It requires a lot. I guess we're about to find out how much those lessons I gave you paid off," Regina explained to both the blonde woman and her daughter. "Follow my lead. Aim high, Evie."

"Yes, Mom." Evie nodded at that.

And so, Regina, Emma, and Evie began to create an eclipse together as their raised their hands in the air while Neal stood aside.


Meanwhile, Jay was made to stand with Gil once they were in front of the tower of Neverland. Enid was sitting by her window and brushing her hair with her golden hairbrush as she sighed to herself.

"So... We just stand around here and keep guard?" Jay asked Gil as he began to sound bored and annoyed after a while.

"Yep! Pan said so, so we gotta do what he says," Gil replied. "That's the way it's always been as long as Neverland has been around... at least to my knowledge which isn't a whole lot."

"You said that, not me." Jay rolled his eyes slightly.

"And I've been here since before I can even remember." Gil then said.

"Surely you're missing something, Gil," Jay said to him. "What about your parents?"

"Parents...?" Gil asked, almost like that word was foreign to him. "What's parents?"

"Oh, come on, Gil... Surely you know what parents are," Jay said as he faced the blonde teen. "As in the people who raised you, fed you, took care of you, and made you what you are today."

Gil paused thoughtfully before he seemed to shrug in response to that.

"Really?" Jay asked out of surprise.

"Sorry, I don't really know what you're talking about..." Gil replied. "What about you? What are your parents like?"

"...My parents...?" Jay asked thoughtfully before he looked around a bit. "Well... I... Uh..." he then paused, not seeming to know how to answer that question himself since his memories were woken up in Storybrooke and the life he thought he led with his father running a junk store was true but it was all just a lie cast by Regina until there was a sound heard from the distance.

"Wait... What was that?" Gil interrupted and asked as he tried to look focused and determined like a mighty hunter.

Jay soon looked around as he thought he heard something too.

"Wait here..." Gil told Jay as he walked into the jungle. "I might have some hunting to do."

Jay blinked before he looked around and waited underneath the tower and soon looked up. Enid was still brushing her hair and staring at her reflection. Jay kept taking a look around, hoping nothing bad would happen with him being alone right now, but he didn't leave his post because Peter Pan would probably do something horrible to Henry and he liked Henry like his own little brother since he, Carlos, and Mal were close with Evie and that included Henry.

"I gotta get you out of here, Enid... Someway, somehow." Jay whispered to himself as he looked up at the lonely girl at the tower who looked very unhappy to be there.


Gil was soon looking around in the forest, trying to look threatening and dangerous while investigating. "I'll figure out what's going on around here... No one's a great hunter like Gil LeGume," he then told himself before chuckling to himself. "Yeah... I like the sound of that... My father, whoever he was, must've been a great hunter too... After all, the apple doesn't fall too far from the river... or is that tree?" he then asked himself. "Who am I even talking to?"

The bear cub, raccoon twins, rabbit, skunk, and fox looked over at Gil in confusion as they continued to frolic through the forest of Neverland.

"Aw, who asked you guys anyways? It wasn't me, you can't prove that..." Gil said to the animals who were there before he continued along, humming to himself.

There was a rustling sound that came a bit closer and closer.

"All right... Whoever's there, just look out!" Gil warned as he tried to look serious and determined again. "I'm warning you!"

Someone soon snuck up behind Gil and tackled him down to the ground.

Gil cried out and panicked instantly once he was suddenly down on the ground and someone was pinning him down. "Don't kill me! I have so much to live for!" he then cried out. "I have a great recipe for a dozen egg omelette if you let me live!" he then looked up to see who was holding him down and looked a bit wide-eyed. "...You're a girl." he then realized.

"At least you're smart enough to realize that," Lonnie said as she held her sword against his throat and then moved it. "Now take it easy, I'm not gonna hurt you as long as you play along nicely."

"Play? There's no time to play in Neverland," Gil scoffed and rolled his eyes. "It's always war in Neverland... Pan said so even though he promised me that this place would be a great new home for me and the others."

"I'm sure whatever Pan told you was a lifetime of sunshine and rainbows, but I just wanna talk," Lonnie then said. "Peter Pan is not as good as he thinks he is... now we're just here to find the tower."

"We? I only see you," Gil said before looking confused. "Unless you're a princess and you're using 'the royal we'... Are you a princess?" he then asked her.

"No, I'm not a princess," Lonnie said as she got off of Gil once she saw that he wasn't a major threat. "I'm just here along with the others here to save Henry and Jay and bring them back home to Storybrooke. Now if you can tell me where I can find Jay, I'll just be on my way and no one has to get hurt."

"Oh, he's back at the-" Gil began to say until he stopped himself. "Wait... I'm not allowed to say."

"Gil, listen to me... This will be good for everyone if you tell me where Jay is and we can help you and the other Lost Ones find a better and new home far away from here," Lonnie told the boy. "I promise, we won't hurt you as long as you tell us where to find the tower of Neverland... It's a lot harder than it seems when I thought a tower would be an eyesore in a place like this."

"Oh, yeah, having a tower in your eye would make you sore..." Gil replied and nodded. "I mean, I haven't tried it, but it sounds painful."

"That's not what I mean..." Lonnie groaned and rolled her eyes slightly. "Okay, so don't tell us where exactly it is... maybe you can tell us where it's around?" she then suggested.

"Well... There are bright yellow flowers usually around it cuz of Enid," Gil began to say. "She has a way of growing Sundrop Flowers since they're very rare around anywhere else in all of the realms of magic."

"Bright yellow flowers... That should be easy..." Lonnie nodded before smiling.

"Did he tell you where to find the tower?" Goldie asked as she soon walked over.

"Ah! A grown-up!" Gil panicked.

"Relax, it's just me, Goldilocks." Goldie told the blonde boy, trying to calm him down.

"Ah! Goldilocks!" Gil panicked again.

"Not the sharpest crayon in the box, is he?" Goldie snarked slightly to Lonnie.

"You're telling me." Lonnie muttered and nodded.

"All right, we gotta look for bright yellow flowers," Carlos soon said as he came by with Carla. "That shouldn't be too hard."

"Whatever keeps me further away from Peter Pan." Harry muttered nervously.

Carla then squeezed his hand with a small smile out of comfort.

"I just hope Pan doesn't get mad that I told you where to find the tower," Gil frowned. "Please don't tell him what I did."

"You were very helpful, Gil, and we promise that we won't tell him that you told us." Lonnie reassured the blonde boy.

"Really?" Gil asked hopefully.

"Really, really, and we promise to give you a better chance for a happy ending in Storybrooke after all of this is over." Goldie nodded and smiled warmly.

"Wow... That sounds awesome... Thanks, guys." Gil smiled back hopefully.

"Come on, guys. Let's go find Jay and that tower." Goldie soon told the teenagers who were with her.

"Agreed." The group of teenagers nodded at that.


Meanwhile, Peter began to take Henry around Skull Rock. "This is it. The place where you're going to save magic." he then told the younger boy.

"Why does it have to be here?" Henry asked out of concern.

"Well, because this is the location from which Neverland's magic emanates." Peter simply stated.

"What's the hourglass for?" Henry asked as he looked to see a giant hourglass with sand pouring and it was being held by a large pile of golden skulls.

"Marks how much time we have left before Neverland's magic runs out." Peter informed.

"It's almost empty," Henry then pointed out as Peter began to look around, almost like he could sense something. "Is something wrong?" he then asked the older boy.

"No. Come with me," Peter replied as he had Henry sit down in an alcove. "There's something I need to take care of before we get started, okay?" he then told the younger boy.

Henry glanced at him before nodding as he stayed put for the time being. Rumple was soon making his way toward the room where Peter and Henry were as he pulled out an old doll he had since childhood.

Peter soon looked around before looking behind him as Rumple had arrived at the scene. "Hello, laddie. Oh, I see you've come bearing gifts." he then greeted and looked at the doll.

"Where's Henry?" Rumple demanded firmly.

"Oh, you mean my great-grandson? You still haven't told the others who I really am?" Peter scoffed in response. "Not even your own son. Why?"

"Because you're nothing but a coward to me." Rumple retorted.

"We both know if that were true, I'd already be in that box." Peter easily countered.

"You don't think I can do it?" Rumple glared. "You let me inside just to, uh, taunt me?"

"No. To see you again, to give you one last chance. Stay with me," Peter retorted. "Let this go. Let's start over. I hear you may know where Reul Ghorm could be." he then added with a dark smirk.

"Do you think I want to be with you?" Rumple scoffed. "That I could ever forgive you after you abandoned me?"

"I'm disappointed, Rumple. After all these years, I thought you'd be more... understanding, considering you did the same thing to your son," Peter tutted. "You traded Baelfire for the power of a dagger, and I traded you for youth. We're a lot more alike than you care to admit."

"We are nothing alike!" Rumple glared and snarled.

"Oh, of course we are. And it's nothing to be ashamed of~" Peter taunted. "Neither one of us was cut out to be a father, my boy."

"I regretted leaving my son the moment I let him go. I spent my life trying to find him, to get him back. And what did you do? You forgot about me." Rumple argued.

"I never forgot about you!" Peter glared in response. "Why do you think I call myself 'Peter Pan'?!"

"Don't think for a moment I believe it's because you care for me." Rumple glowered.

"But I do. All you have to do is put down that box, and you'll see it's true," Peter defended. "We can make the fresh start you always wanted, together, just as we planned."

"Oh, I'm gonna make a fresh start," Rumple retorted before dropping his voice low to a whisper. "Just not with you," he then added before trying to open Pandora's box, but it wasn't working. "...I don't understand."

"'Cuz you don't have it." Peter retorted as he brought out an identical box.

"You switched them?" Rumple gasped in realization.

"Follow the Lady. Still having trouble believing. In Neverland, all you have to do is think of something to have it. Even something fake," Peter chuckled darkly as he began to open the box. "But the real one... Well, let's see what it can do~"

"NO!" Rumple cried out only for him to be trapped inside the box against his will.

"I'm sorry, Rumple. You had your chance," Peter smirked darkly. "The choice was yours," he then set down the box before going to go and see Henry again. "It's time, Henry. Time to save magic, to save Neverland." he told the younger boy.

"What do I have to do?" Henry asked.

"You must give me your heart, Henry..." Peter said. "The heart of the truest believer."

"You mean... I have to believe?" Henry guessed softly.

Peter chuckled at that. "No, Henry. I mean, you need to give me your heart." he then explained a bit grimly.

"But... what will happen to me?" Henry asked out of concern.

"You'll become the greatest of all heroes." Peter reassured him.

"You can tell me the truth. I know all magic comes with a price," Henry said, knowing there had to be a catch somehow. "Saving it must come with a price, too."

"I would never lie to you, Henry. I mean, you're right. There is a price," Peter coaxed through his wickedness. "You have to stay here on the island with me. Neverland will become your new home. I know it's a huge sacrifice, but isn't it worth it?" he then added.

"Heroes have to make sacrifices all the time," Henry replied. "My family taught me that."

"Then they'd be proud if they could see you now, because you're about to save them all. Now are you ready?" Peter explained and then asked.

Henry paused for a few moments and then finally nodded. "Yes." he then confirmed his answer.

"Then let me help you." Peter said before he gave Henry some magic in the younger boy's hand.

Henry nodded and soon began to rip out his own heart after being enchanted by the older boy. He was just about to hand his heart over until suddenly...

"Henry, wait!" Neal cried out as he rushed over along with Evie, Regina, and Emma. "Whatever Pan's telling you to do, don't do it." he then explained to his son.

"Dad? You're alive?" Henry asked out of surprise once he saw who came to help him.

"I am, buddy," Neal reassured his son calmly. "And I need you to listen to me. Pan is lying to you."

"Oh, pleasure to see you, too, Baelfire," Peter scoffed in response. "Not to mention the Savior, The Evil Queen, and even The Evil Queen's descendant. How did you get past my spell?" he then demanded.

"Let's just say it's a little science involving an eclipse." Evie retorted with a rather smug smile on her face.

"Stupid girls. Why can't you just put on a nice clean dress and stay in the kitchen with your Mommy where you belong?" Peter scoffed and grumbled quietly.

Evie glared and stuck her tongue out at him in annoyance.

"Henry, you need to get away from him now," Emma told the boy urgently. "He's trying to hurt you."

"No. The heart of the truest believer," Henry countered calmly. "It's what's gonna save magic. It's gonna save all of you."

"No, it's not. This was never about magic, Henry." Regina argued.

"You have to believe us," Evie added. "The only person Pan's interested in saving is himself. He's not the same Peter Pan we grew up with."

"That's not true!" Henry pouted.

"'Course it isn't." Peter scoffed.

"Yes, it is! Pan can't live without you dying." Neal told Henry.

"If you give him your heart, it's gonna kill you." Evie added.

"They're trying to stem your belief, Henry, but don't let them," Peter told the younger boy. "Remember, every hero gets tested."

"Henry... I know what being a hero looks like, and this isn't it." Emma frowned.

"And you know you have to believe me, I'm your big sister," Evie added. "I would never lie to you, Henry."

Henry frowned thoughtfully and then faced Peter. "Why would they lie?" he then asked the older boy.

"Because that's what adults do, Henry," Peter told Henry. "You know that better than anyone. Besides, The Evil Queen would probably save her own child from blood than you for being adopted."

"Mom loves us both, Henry!" Evie cried out.

"Henry... you have to believe us." Regina added.

"Your parents and big sister don't care about Neverland, Henry. They know if you give your heart to save it, then you'll have to stay," Peter then told the younger boy. "They're being selfish because they don't wanna lose you."

"Henry, you have to trust us." Emma frowned.

"Trust? I'm the only one who's ever been honest with you, Henry," Peter scoffed as he continued before smirking darkly. "The only one who ever believed in you. This is your choice. Not theirs. You have to choose now. We're running out of time~"

"We believe in you, Henry." Neal frowned softly.

"Because we love you." Emma added.

"More than anything." Regina said.

"I would do anything for you and you need to remember that and I love you with all of my heart," Evie softly told her little brother. "Blood or not."

"I love you, too." Henry said at first.

Soon, Neal, Emma, Regina, and Evie began to look hopeful.

"...But I have to save magic." Henry then concluded as he was going to give up his heart.

"No, no, no!" Neal and Evie panicked instantly.

"I'm sorry." Henry said softly.

"NO!" Everyone else cried out as soon as Henry shoved his heart into Peter's chest.


A pulse of magic then spread throughout Neverland, leaving Skull Rock and knowing some others off balance once they felt that vibration. Enid even ended up falling out of her window and Jay panicked as he swooped in and luckily caught Enid in his arms and the two looked into each other's eyes, almost bashfully.

"You saved me." Enid whispered to Jay.

"Of course I did." Jay smiled softly at her.

Enid smiled back at him as this looked like the start of a beautiful friendship.


Meanwhile, Emma, Regina, and Neal ran towards Henry.

"Oh, my God! Henry!" Evie cried out as she knelt next to her little brother who was lying unconscious on the ground.

Peter smiled evilly down at them and soon floated around Skull Rock in victory. Emma and Regina were persistently trying to shake Henry awake, but he remained motionless.

"Oh, God, is he unconscious?" Emma asked out of fear.

"Henry, can you hear us?" Regina asked.

"Wake up, Henry. We gotta go home... We're gonna get you home," Evie added. "Why won't he listen to us?" she then asked, looking like she was trying very hard not to cry.

"He passed out as soon as his heart went into Pan." Neal replied.

"Is he breathing?" Regina asked.

"I don't know." Neal said in sorrow.

From the air, Peter soon came down to see the sad family.

"You!" Evie glared as she tried to lunge out at Peter, though Neal held onto her to restrain her. "You killed him!"

"Calm down, kid." Neal said as he tried to soothe Evie.

"Get away from him!" Evie continued to glare at Peter. "You killed him!"

"Oh, I didn't do anything, Princess. It was Henry," Peter retorted smugly. "He offered me his heart of his own free will."

"I'm gonna take it back from you." Evie glared as Emma then drew out her sword for added defense.

"I'll help you out, Evie," Emma added. "You want a thigh or a wing from this turkey?" she then asked.

"I don't think either of you has it in you. Rumplestiltskin didn't," Peter smirked as he tossed the box around in his hands. "Why should you?"

"Where is he?" Emma demanded, referring to Rumple.

"What did you do?" Neal added.

"Oh, he's right in this box. Safe and sound. And out of the way. Unfortunately for you, he can't hurt me anymore," Peter replied mockingly. "And neither can you."

"Really?" Emma glared as she lunged out and slashed her sword on Peter's arm. "How did that feel?" she then taunted.

"Like a tickle~" Peter retorted.

Evie grunted and soon got out of Neal's hold and put her hands behind her back. "Peter, how would you like a Hertz Donut?" she soon asked.

Peter turned to face her with a bit of a smirk.

Evie then tackled Peter down to the ground and punched him right in the face, trying to give him a black eye. "Hertz Donut? (Hurts, don't it?)" she then taunted him.

"Is that the best you got? My mother hits better than you~" Peter smirked as he kicked Evie off of him and then punched her face in return.

"Evie!" Regina cried out as her daughter yelped in pain.

"Unfortunately for you, I never listened to my mother when she said not to hit girls~" Peter smirked before he flew in the air and retreated.

"Are you okay, Evie?" Regina asked her daughter.

"I'll be fine... Henry is more important than I am right now," Evie reassured as she grunted and groaned a bit in pain. "Gosh... I guess he's actually useful in fighting back and I thought he was a coward who just flew away from his problems."

"I am not a coward!" Peter retorted as his voice echoed.

Regina and Evie soon came beside poor Henry as they weren't sure how to help him.

"How is he?" Emma asked softly.

"You're going to be all right, Henry," Regina promised the boy softly as she rubbed his chest. "We're gonna get you home."

"We can't just leave him like this, Mom," Evie said to her mother. "We have to help him somehow."

"Hmm... I might have something..." Regina replied as she began to use some of her magic. "This preservation spell can keep him in this condition for a while longer. Buy us time to get to Pan." she then said while casting the spell on the unconscious boy.

"You were a Lost Boy. Any idea where he went?" Emma soon asked Neal.

"Well, I-I know where he lived. Where his compound-" Neal began to answer.

"That's idiotic. We all know that," Regina scoffed. "Think he's stupid enough to go back? Please."

"Mom..." Evie frowned.

"Enough." Emma warned Regina.

"Don't tell me what's enough," Regina retorted. "My son is dying!"

"Our son. So, yes, I know how you feel." Emma countered softly.

"You have no idea what I feel. You have your parents. You have this person; a pirate who pines for you," Regina reminded firmly, gesturing to Neal and soon began to have tears in her eyes. "You have everything and yet you claim to know what I feel? All I have is Henry and I'm not about to lose him because he is everything."

Evie looked softly as she was a little left out of that equation, but didn't hold it against her mother.

"You're right. I don't know what you feel," Emma told Regina before kneeling down. "So what do you want to do? You want to run the show? Run it. How do we save Henry?" she then wondered.

"I don't know." Regina admitted quietly.

"This is not good." Evie whispered in concern.

"Even if we can find Pan, he was powerful before," Neal soon spoke up. "With Henry's heart, I-I don't know if we can hurt him."

Regina soon looked at Emma's sword. "Yes, we can. Look," she then said as she pointed out the blood on the weapon. "You nicked him. He can bleed. We can hurt him. And if we can hurt him, we can kill him. And we will." she then concluded out of strong determination.

"Let's get Henry somewhere comfortable." Evie suggested.

"Great idea," Regina nodded at her teenage daughter in agreement. "By the way, what I said about Henry... You know you're important to me too, right?" she then added.

"It's okay, Mom... I know," Evie insisted and nodded. "Adopting Henry and raising him never meant that you didn't love me."

Regina smiled softly as they began to move Henry away from Skull Rock.
