Once they collected the fairy dust, they made their way to the forest and towards the wishing well. "You are certain the portal is going to open up all the way out here?" Regina asked.
"There," Mr Gold said, pointing to the right of him. Towards the wishing well. "This is where things once lost return to us. This is where Cora's going to come through."
The three of them reached the well, stepped onto the concrete platform, and looked down towards the waters below. The water was starting to bubble. A portal was beginning to form.
"Unless it is Mary Margaret and Emma," Regina stated.
The Professor shook his head. "I highly doubt they'd come this way. Through this portal."
"It's time," Mr Gold stated, as the water began to bubble increasingly.
"So what are we waiting for?" Regina asked as they stepped back from the well.
Mr Gold took the wand from his coat pocket again. He held it up to the sky, and the wand began to sparkle. As it did, dark clouds took to the sky, and thunder crashed around them. The sky lit up with green lightning, and Mr Gold used the wand to transform and guide it into the well. "It doesn't matter who comes through now. No one can survive this."
The well crashed and boomed in it, the lightning lighting the inside with a green hue as all three watched. Not noticing people turn up behind them.
"Mum?" Henry asked, and they turned around in shock. "You aren't helping Emma and Mary Margaret, are you?"
"It's not Emma and Mary Margaret," the Professor answered. "I can feel it."
"What are you talking about?" Henry asked.
"You're gonna kill them!" Ruby exclaimed. She proceeded to step closer, but Mr Gold pushed her away with magic, knocking her out cold.
"Sorry, dearie," Mr Gold said.
The Professor walked around to Ruby's body and knelt beside her. Placing two fingers on her neck, he nodded slowly. "Still alive," he mused to himself.
"Mum? What are you doing?" Henry asked.
"I can't let Cora came through the portal. You have no idea what she would do to us," Regina answered.
"Emma and Mary Margaret are going to defeat her. They're the ones who will come back."
"Henry, your mother's right. It's going to be Cora who comes this way," Mr Gold told him.
"No! It won't! Good always defeats evil. You should know that more than anyone," Henry said.
"What I know is my mother will destroy everything I love. And that means you. And I can't let that happen," Regina stated.
Regina grabbed hold of her son to stop her son from getting closer to the well.
"You can't!" Henry yelled. "Stop it! You can't! You're gonna kill them! Please! No! They're going to make it through! We must turn it off! You're gonna kill them!" He did get out of Regina's grasp and rushed over to the well.
"Henry! What are you doing?" Regina asked, going over to her son and pulled him away.
"Emma and Mary Margaret are going to defeat her. They will come back. I know it. You said you wanted to change, to be better. This is how. You want me to have faith in you? Have faith in me.," Henry pleaded, and Regina looked back at her son.
She pulled away and looked back at the well. Taking a deep breath, she approached it.
"Regina!" Mr Gold warned. But Regina didn't listen.
She placed her hands over the well as she began to absorb the magic from it until all of it was gone. But, Regina was thrown back in the air once she completed her task.
The portal was now gone. The air around the three was silent. The Professor walked closer to the well, and he looked down the well. "No one there."
Henry looked down. Depressed.
"I'm sorry, Henry," Regina apologised.
They were all silent until there was a sound coming from behind them. A sound that the Professor knew all too well. A wheezing, groaning sound. The Professor looked behind Henry. So did Mr Gold, as they began to approach the blue box solidifying right in front of them. The light on top stopped flashing, and the doors opened. And out emerged Emma and Mary Margaret. Followed by the Doctor.
"Mom?" Henry asked as he approached Emma.
Emma turned to Henry, who rushed over to her. "Henry!" And the two hugged. "I missed you."
"I missed you too."
"I missed you so much," Mary Margaret said, hugging them both.
The Professor walked closer to the Doctor. "How was it?"
"Oh, you know me. I proved my point in the end," the Doctor answered. "But, how does Cora know about us?"
"I suppose she does her research. You hang around with Rumple for long enough, people will know about you. If they know him, they'll know me."
"Right. I'll take you and Rumple back to the shop," the Doctor said.
