Meanwhile, Maven was shown to be on her computer until there was a rumbling around which startled her and she let out a bit of a scream as Iron John was soon shown with Rapunzel in his grip.
"Get the mayor... NOW!" Iron John told her sharply.
Maven let out a startled yelp as she ran off to do what he asked her to do.
"You can help a lot of people right now if you just let me kill him!" Rapunzel told Iron John as she tried to get free.
"Uh, Mr. Mayor?" Maven called nervously as she picked up her phone.
"Or you can kill 'em." Rapunzel grunted to Iron John.
"Kill the Mayor?" Iron John replied. "You almost sound like that Superdork guy I took on earlier."
"Iron John is here to see you." Maven said on her phone with a nervous smile.
"At least he has enough sense not to make a deal with Rumplestiltskin," Rapunzel told him. "That's how Rumplestiltskin wins, idiots like you."
"Okay." Maven said before hanging up.
"What did he offer you that you'd let him turn you into this?" Rapunzel glared at Iron John.
"Order." Iron John snarled.
"And you're the biggest idiot of them all," Rapunzel glared. "All he ever brings is chaos."
"John!" Rumplestiltskin smiled as he walked into the room to see his newest partner with one of the princesses.
"Mr. Mayor, Your Honor, sir, I called you-" Maven said as she started to panic.
"Maven..." Rumplestiltskin called as gently as he could. "John's our friend, remember?"
Rapunzel tried to hit Iron John, only for a clank sound to be heard.
"Oh... That's right..." Maven said with a sigh of relief.
"Why don't you take the rest of the day off?" Rumplestiltskin suggested as he put his hands on her shoulders to relax her. "Go visit that friend of yours, Selina Kyle?"
"Okay!" Maven smiled at that and soon walked off.
"Hello, Rapunzel," Rumplestiltskin said as he walked over before facing Iron John. "Where's the rest of 'em? And those kids?"
"They left, she stayed; if Superman hadn't gotten in the way, I would have been able to get one of those kids." Iron John said.
"Superman?" Rumplestiltskin replied. "Ah, yes, I've heard about him... So you got one out of seven."
Rapunzel glared as Iron John held on tight to her.
"Where are they?" Rumplestiltskin asked the long-haired princess who refused to talk to him. "Where's the mirror fragment? You know, this could be so much easier if I could just turn you into one of my thralls, wouldn't it?"
Rapunzel just stayed as silent as possible.
"You think your fair queen would give up her piece of the mirror for exchange for you?" Rumplestiltskin soon mocked.
Rapunzel then growled as she headbutted him from where she stood. Rumplestiltskin grunted as he backed away.
"She would never." Rapunzel glared at him.
Rumplestiltskin sorted himself out before grinning at Rapunzel. "No life is worth a kingdom... I guess not even yours," he then said to her. "It's a shame the girl child couldn't be here either... We all know how weak she is without her brother to help take care of her."
"You leave those kids alone." Rapunzel glared.
"But who's gonna protect you?" Rumplestiltskin smirked as he slid on a glove before striking her in the face which made her fall in the middle of the floor.
"Now what?" Iron John soon asked.
"Stay here with her until I get back." Rumplestiltskin demanded before he soon walked off to take care of other business.
Iron John looked over at Rapunzel who was unconscious before he looked to where Rumplestiltskin had left, thinking and wondering on if he had made the right choice.
Meanwhile, with Maven, as she was making her way to spend some time with Selina Kyle...
"Behold," Snow White said to the others with her. "Our newest target."
"...That's a friend of Aunt Selina's," Cherry recognized. "Her name's Maven."
"I'm sure your Aunt Selina's missed spending time with her." Mo remarked.
"Probably." Cherry said, a little unsure with the chaos that had been happening lately thanks to Rumplestiltskin.
"Well, now is the time to talk to her," Drell said. "I'll tell you about those Elements I've mentioned before at a later time."
"Alright." Cherry said.
They soon began to make their way to Maven to get her worker I.D. Cinderella and Snow White stood on the woman's sides and grabbed her arms to hold her down against a fence.
"Relax, Ms. Maven, we won't hurt you." Cherry said before snatching the woman's worker I.D.
"I need that for work." Maven replied sharply and didn't even seem to recognize Cherry, even though the woman was good friends with Cherry's aunt/legal guardian.
"What's wrong with her?" Cherry asked. "It's like she doesn't remember who I am."
"This is what he does to people," Snow White told her. "She's not a thrall, but she's under his spell," she then took the I.D from Cherry. "All right, I got what I wanted; come on."
"We are not leaving her under his spell; maybe Cinderella can free Ms. Maven from his spell." Cherry said.
"Better than her informing Rumplestiltskin about what just happened." Drell said.
"Cinderella, can you please help?" Cherry asked hopefully.
"We don't have time." Snow White said sharply.
"There's plenty of time!" Cherry whined. "I've had enough of your behavior!"
"Thank you," Maven seemed to smirk at Cinderella. "No thank you."
"You are seriously not helping your case." Drell glared at Maven.
"Maven. Maven, I am trying to help you," Cinderella told Maven before facing Snow White. "And maybe she can help us."
Snow White gave Cinderella a look.
"I don't care," Cherry glared at Snow White. "Cinderella, do whatever you can do to help."
Cinderella's eyes soon glowed as she took a hold of Maven.
"Oh, no!" Maven cried out in fear. "Oh, no, no, no... His Honor would not be happy if-"
"Come ON!" Snow White then said impatiently.
"No, no, no!" Maven panicked until Cinderella slapped some sense into her before she was quiet for a few moments.
"...Maven?" Cinderella called gently. "Maven?"
Maven blinked as she looked around before seeing the black-haired woman. "You're Snow White... You're looking for your friend?" she then asked.
"Yes, she is and we have to help too," Cherry said to Maven before asking. "Do you know who I am now?"
"Cherry, you shouldn't be on the streets like this," Maven soon said to the perky goth. "You could get hurt or worse."
"I'm alright; I have friends with me." Cherry said.
Meanwhile with Sleeping Beauty and the others with her...
"Don't worry; we're helping out." Zelda said to Sleeping Beauty.
"This is almost as boring as being asleep for a hundred years." Sleeping Beauty scoffed like a rebel teenage girl.
"Try being a cat for that long." Salem commented.
Some footsteps were soon heard coming down.
"Uh-oh, we have company." Mo whispered to the others.
"We can take him." Jack whispered back.
Jill went to hide in a corner and shivered.
"Whoa, whoa, it's gonna be okay, Jill," Jack soothed his twin sister. "I'm here... Remember? I'm here."
Sleeping Beauty tensed up a little from the sound.
"Sir, what are we looking for?" A radio voice asked.
"The Mayor had us install motion sensors down here," Officer Ernst responded. "Can't tell you how many times we lost that icy bitch in these tunnels."
"There's only one police officer." Atticus whispered to the others.
"Let's take him." Patch whispered back.
"Yeah." Mo whispered back.
"South quarter looks clear." The radio soon said to the officer.
"Figure she had a rat hole here somewhere," Officer Ernst said as Sleeping Beauty went away from Snow White's table. "Keep looking."
"Copy that," The radio replied. "Doubling back."
"All right, Officer Douchebag," Hilda narrowed her violet eyes. "Get ready to meet Hilda Spellman."
"Language, Hilda," Zelda warned her younger sister. "We have children present."
"They've heard worse from the Justice League, especially from that manchild Green Lantern." Hilda scoffed.
Atticus, Mo, and Patch nodded and confirmed in agreement on that notion.
"Sir, what do we do if we find someone?" The radio asked the officer as he kept searching around the secret hide-out.
"I'm not taking any chances here," Officer Ernst replied. "You see one of those 'princesses', you shoot to kill. Also if you see those two tykes, grab them, it's not like they'd fight back. Rumplestiltskin wants those two alive."
Hilda looked like her eyes were flashing as she looked like she wanted to use her magic on this officer while Atticus and Mo tried to restrain her.
Meanwhile with Wolf and Red as Rumplestiltskin soon walked in...
Red felt unfortunate, but she did her best not to look or feel scared.
"Still in one piece." Rumplestiltskin smirked as he approached the red hooded girl.
"I knew you'd wanna wait." Wolf said to his boss.
"Good boy," Rumplestiltskin approved as he touched the girl's face. "Quite the troublemaker, are ya? Just like those royal types who throw us commoners out to the wolves, huh? Where are they?" he then demanded lightly.
Red just turned away from him, refusing to speak.
"She won't tell ya." Wolf smirked slightly.
Rumplestiltskin soon made Red face him. "She won't have to." he then said.
Red just deeply scowled at him.
Meanwhile...
"All right," Drell said as Atticus made a red cloak with his magic. "Someone has to go distract Iron John with this to make him think Red is on the loose so we can go in and save Rapunzel."
"How do we decide that?" Thor asked.
"Simple," Drell said as he brought out a pack of straws. "Everybody pick a straw and the longest one has to go in."
Each one of the group soon picked a straw and pulled back to see which one had the longest straw. Cinderella soon picked the longest straw.
"Heh... Guess my luck's beginning to turn." Cherry commented dryly.
"Don't be scared, it'll be alright." Drell said as he gave Cinderella the red hood as she soon put it on and wore the hood to make Iron John think that she was Red.
"I just hope we can protect the twins," Atticus frowned. "It sounds horrible what's going on for them."
"Don't worry; they're in perfectly good hands." Drell said.
"Yeah, he's got us there." Mo said.
"Can you tell us about those Elements now?" Atticus asked.
"Hm... I guess I could tell you a little bit while we still have time," Drell said before poofing up a large book in his hands and cracked it open as there seemed to be a horseshoe on the front cover. "They come from a magical land known as Equestria and a group of six beings from Earth would combine with the Elements in Equestria."
"Equestria?" Cherry asked. "That land sounds like it's filled with horses."
"It's a long story." Drell replied.
Cinderella was soon shown getting into position and soon whistled at Iron John and that got his attention as he threw Rapunzel down to the floor and he soon began to go after her, thinking that she was Red Riding Hood. The dark-haired princess kept going and where Iron John let out a loud growl/scream.
"He's taken the bait." Mo whispered to Drell.
"All right, now some of us should go in with Snow White so she can freeze the floor when Iron John begins to chase Cinderella." Drell instructed.
Cherry decided to go with Maven and Snow White as Cinderella began to run away from Iron John while keeping the red hood on her head.
"Good to see she's using that bravery of hers," Drell approved as Cherry ran with the fairy tale princess and her aunt's best friend. "Just be careful not to slip, girls!" he then called out to them.
Snow White soon used her Ice Powers on the floor.
"Hope he likes ice skating." Cherry smirked quietly.
Snow White brought Cherry over to lean against the wall with Maven. Cinderella made it out, though Iron John stomped after her and soon slid across the ice and screamed before he crashed out the window.
"Oops." Cherry then smirked.
"Should we give him a softer landing?" Mo asked Drell.
"Maybe." Drell replied mysteriously.
"I think he'll be fine; after all, if he was able to fight Superman and survive, then he can survive a fall from way up here." Atticus said.
"That's true." Drell nodded.
Back with Sleeping Beauty...
"I'll be there in a minute," Ernst's voice said as the princess kept herself hidden from the police officer. "I've got one more place to check."
Hilda and Zelda held Salem close, making sure he would stay quiet.
"Ya hear that, Snow?!" Ernst soon called out as he slowly took out his gun. "If you're down here, you're dead!"
Hilda and Zelda hid a small smirk before Zelda shot her pointer finger at the radio to make something happen.
"I've got dispatch on the line here, over!" The radio then suddenly beeped which startled Ernst.
Jack and Jill simply laughed quietly from that.
"What is it?" Ernst asked out of frustration.
"City Hall is under attack!" The radio panicked. "All units back to base! I repeat, City Hall is under attack! All units back to base!"
"You guys hear that?!" Ernst then called out to his fellow officers. "Something's going on at base, let's move out of here!"
Salem soon poked his head out and looked back at the others behind him with a nod.
"Good, the coast is clear." Jack smiled.
"Whew." Jill sighed.
"Nice job." Patch smiled at Zelda.
"It's all in the pointer finger." Zelda smirked a bit, looking very proud of herself.
Sleeping Beauty soon grabbed the mirror piece and rushed off. "That won't hold him for long," she then said as she took a shallow and nervous breath before reciting, "Mirror, Mirror, where is Snow White? Is she okay?" she then asked.
The mirror piece didn't seem to do anything yet.
"What is going on?!" Sleeping Beauty asked, sounding panicked.
The mirror soon glowed before shooting a blast at her which hit her forehead and she fell to the floor.
"Sleeping Beauty!" Jack and Jill cried out.
"We might wanna tell Drell about this." Patch said.
Meanwhile back with Drell and the others...
The alarm soon blared and it was time to move as fast as possible. Cinderella soon joined the others as they came into the room and she magicked herself out of Red's cloak.
"Okay, we're not gonna get a better chance," Snow White said as she helped Rapunzel up to her feet. "That elevator leads up to his office. Are you ready for this?" she then asked the others.
"Absolutely." Rapunzel nodded once she regained consciousness.
"It's now or never, let's go." Cinderella said.
Maven was seen making a phone call, but wasn't going to squeal on them, she was actually going to find out where Rumplestiltskin was for them.
"Don't you dare call security on us!" Drell called to Maven sharply. "I'll wipe your memories!"
"Oh, isn't that a little harsh?" Cherry asked.
"Sometimes it's the only thing to do around stupid and thoughtless mortals." Drell replied.
"Hello, security? Hi, this is Maven; is His Honor in?" Maven asked.
Drell glared and was about to grab Maven and make her pay, but was blocked by Atticus as he had a feeling it was just to find out where Rumplestiltskin was. "Why that little, miserable, stupid-" The warlock growled.
"Shh!" Atticus shushed him.
"...Do you know what the penalty is for shushing me?" Drell asked.
"Yes, whatever it is, punish me after this, but I have a good feeling!" Atticus replied.
"Oh? Okay! Thank you! Bye-Bye!" Maven smiled on the phone before hanging up and rushed over to the princesses. "The Mayor's not here. In a minute, this place is gonna be swarming with security and you guys have to get out of here now. You'll have to come back," she then advised. "That asshole is gonna change the security codes after this, but I can get you in. I'll shut down security."
Drell soon went jaw-dropped as he didn't expect that while Atticus smirked as he knew they didn't have any reason to think Maven would call security on them.
"Great, thanks, Ms. Maven." Cherry smiled.
"Sure thing, Kitten." Maven smiled back.
"Only Aunt Selina can call me that." Cherry narrowed her eyes firmly.
"Oh, sorry." Maven gulped at Cherry's firm glare.
"You realize by helping us, he'll kill you." Cinderella warned Maven.
"He won't realize-" Maven said before gasping as if she heard something before facing them. "You have to go! They're coming! I'll text you as soon as he gets back."
"Thank you for helping us." Cinderella said, almost emotionally.
"No, thank you," Maven reassured. "All this time he's blinded me. You guys are heroes."
"Good luck, Ms. Maven." Atticus said before they soon left before they would get caught.
Maven nodded before she ran to the other side to divert the security guards. "Security! They went this way!" she then called out. "If you hurry, you can catch them!"
Meanwhile with Sleeping Beauty and the others...
"Come on, pick up, pick up." Hilda begged as she had her Spell Phone with her, waiting for Drell to answer while Jack and Jill began to try wake up Sleeping Beauty.
"Someone's coming." Patch warned.
Hilda bit her lip and soon went to hide away with the others, but kept a close eye on Sleeping Beauty. Red seemed to come to the blonde princess and picked up the mirror fragment from her.
"Oh... It's you..." Sleeping Beauty said softly as she looked up to see her red-hooded friend.
However, Red was shown, and she appeared to be corrupted like the rest of the townspeople who had become Rumplestiltskin's thralls.
"Oh, no..." Patch whispered.
"What do we do?" Hilda whispered back.
"Not much we can do right now," Zelda frowned to her sister. "Did you hear from Drell?"
"I'm afraid not," Hilda sighed sharply and worriedly. "I hope he and his group aren't hurt."
"Knowing him, he'll be doing the hurting if anything." Zelda advised.
"I guess you're right about that." Hilda softly said to her sister.
Luckily for them, Drell and the others arrived.
"Oh, thank goodness." Patch smiled.
Drell greeted Hilda with a warm hug and a kiss while Sabrina turned away in dismay and Thor playfully turned away. "What's up?" he then asked her.
"Nothing much..." Hilda blushed. "...I was worried, but now I'm fine."
"Great..." Drell smiled.
The two seemed to stare into each other's eyes for a few moments.
"Ahem... Ahem..." Cherry cleared her throat loudly before shouting at them. "HEY!"
"Oh, right, we have a job to do." Drell said as he returned to focus.
"Yeah and right now that job is to keep Red from getting away with the mirror fragment." Jack told Drell and the others.
"Rumplestiltskin must have had a thrall corrupt her, most likely after not getting any information out of her." Atticus said.
"Oh, it wouldn't surprise me after the war he caused during our visit," Drell said. "Not as bad as The Ogre Wars, but still pretty bad."
"O-Ogre Wars?" Sabrina asked nervously.
"Be lucky you weren't there," Salem commented. "I was a human warlock back then and I nearly got eaten when I tried to propose to Zelena."
The others looked curious.
"The Fairy Tale Realm's version of The Wicked Witch of the West," Zelda explained. "I'm just glad it wasn't her sister, Evanora: The Wicked Witch of the East."
"But yes, keep Red away from the fragment," Drell warned the Spellman sisters. "She's no good to us right now."
"Uh, funny story; she kinda already has it." Hilda smiled nervously.
"Oh, come on!" Drell glared.
"Well, come on, we gotta stop her." Jack said as he went to use his powers to stop Red and get the mirror fragment back.
Red was soon shown with the fragment.
"Get her!" Cherry called out.
Red soon brought out her quiver and shot a firecracker arrow right at Cherry, shooting just above her head.
"Ha! Ya missed!" Cherry smirked.
"I don't think she was aiming at you, dear." Zelda said nervously.
The arrow soon hit a tank which made some steam spill out and fill the room which made everyone else cough as Red took that time to get away.
"Where is she?" Mo asked during her coughing.
"She got out..." Cherry coughed weakly. "That... Little... Red-Hooded..."
"Gone... Dammit..." Snow White complained.
They soon came into the other room to see Sleeping Beauty, though someone seemed to be missing.
"What happened?" Mo firmly asked the blonde princess.
"I tried to find the mirror to find you," Sleeping Beauty replied. "I'm sorry."
"Now she has the mirror fragment and a head start." Atticus said.
"Yes," Snow White firmly agreed before pointing to her map. "We know where she's going. City Hall! This is it if we're lucky. Today is the day we avenge our kingdoms."
Mo raised her hand.
"And your city," Snow White then added. "As well as your friends in that League of Justice you talk so highly of. Today is the day we cure our people. Today we go home," she then continued. "Let's just hope Maven can do her part. Now let's move." she then said before leading the way out.
"Uh, where are Jack and Jill?" Mo asked as she noticed them missing.
"What?!" Hilda and Zelda looked wide-eyed.
"Weren't they right here?" Sabrina asked.
"Well, they were," Thor remarked. "Past tense 'were'."
"We'll find them," Snow White reassured. "I've been keeping an eye on those kids from my kingdom... Even when they never realized it ever since they lost their parents during the war."
"Alright, let's get going." Drell said.
They all soon began to make their way to City Hall while also looking for Jack and Jill.
Meanwhile, Maven was hard at work on her computer before flinching as her radio sounded.
"His Honor is on site," The radio demanded. "Lockdown City Hall."
Maven panicked a bit before she picked up her phone and began to text Snow White to hurry as Rumplestiltskin was on his way before she grabbed her stuff and peeked into one room on her way out before seeing someone on duty with the surveillance footage and soon knocked him out so he wouldn't see the others coming down to City Hall. The whole building was soon being put on lockdown until Maven began to stop the lockdown and undid all of the locks on all of the entrances on the keyboard.
Once that was settled and secured, she went to go back to her desk before gasping as Red was shown with murder in her eyes. "Do you have an appointment?" she asked nervously.
Red soon brought out her bow and arrows and began to shoot one arrow.
"No!" Maven gasped before the arrow was suddenly caught.
"Well, look who's here," Iron John chuckled as he caught the arrow and soon approached Red. "I'm gonna enjoy this."
"Heil, John," Rumplestiltskin's voice said as he soon walked in with Wolf. "Maven, do we have a problem?" he then asked as he saw the woman acting a little differently.
"Oh... No, Your Honor!" Maven grinned nervously.
"I've got a problem," Iron John spoke up to Rumplestiltskin. "Her. What is she doing here?" he then asked, referring to Red.
"She's delivering these," Rumplestiltskin said as the mirror shard was shown as Red brought out a rope with both Jack and Jill tied to it with handcuffs and bags over their heads with her free hand. "See, John, everyone ends up working for me."
"Only because you turned them into thralls!" Jack glared while having his and Jill's eyes closed.
"You are a horrible, horrible man." Jill said while her eyes were closed.
"SILENCE!" Rumplestiltskin snapped which startled them.
"She just tried to kill your helper." Iron John told him.
"What?" Rumplestiltskin then asked before looking at Red briefly. "She just... Tried to kill... Maven."
Maven began to panic while breathing shallowly.
"Maven..." Rumplestiltskin then called firmly before blowing the woman back with a glow from the mirror shard.
"What you do that for?" Iron John glared at Rumplestiltskin.
"Don't question me, John," Rumplestiltskin said firmly. "We have a deal, your order? It's my order."
"And what might that order be? The exact opposite of justice?" Jack asked sarcastically while having his eyes closed.
"I told you to shut up," Rumplestiltskin sharply told Jack. "Unless you want to end up like that one kid I found from that group who's with that League of Justice."
"I think it's just called the Justice League." Jill piped up.
"SHUT UP!" Rumplestiltskin snapped, slapping her which made her cry out.
Jack flinched before his hands shook a bit once he heard his sister in trouble.
"Get downstairs... Now." Rumplestiltskin demanded to Iron John as he soon left the room with Iron John following behind.
Maven was shown on the floor in the next room as Red kept a firm hold on the orphaned twins. Jack felt hurt on the inside and especially worse once he heard Jill's crying.
Rumplestiltskin and Iron John soon went downstairs with a group of men as they came into the parking garage. He soon took out the mirror shard and zapped it against the wall which opened a doorway before he walked away. "Guard it at all costs." he then told Iron John before he took his exit.
Iron John stood guard as an army of thralls began to come out through the portal from the Fairy Tale Realm.
Meanwhile, Atticus and the others began to make their way to City Hall...
"You guys should become honorary Justice League members after this." Atticus smiled.
"Maybe we'll even meet again," Mo added. "If we ever find Lionel."
"That would be interesting to think about." Snow White replied.
"Calling all units!" A certain officer soon called out to his radio as people swarmed all around down the streets. "This is Officer Laguardia! Anyone who still cares about this city! Get to City Hall!"
"What's going on?" Snow White asked Officer Laguardia.
"It gets worse from here; I knew he was crazy, but I never knew anything like this." Officer Laguardia told her.
"Watch out!" A man called out as one of Rumplestiltskin's goons looked ready to attack.
Officer Laguardia tried to shoot at the goon who had a blade.
"Get down!" Snow White called out as she tackled him down to avoid the blade.
Catwoman soon threw herself onto a building with her whip as she joined the other members of the Justice League on the rooftops to see what had happened to their city.
"These things are crazy." Mo said.
"Yeah, that's the thing about thralls; they just attack and kill anything or anyone in their way." Drell said.
"We might need some extra back-up." Cherry suggested.
"Perhaps." Drell replied ominously.
The thralls soon swarmed the group and began to attack and the group did whatever they could to protect themselves.
"Let's hope back-up comes soon." Thor said while they did what they could.
"I hope so too," Mo replied. "Especially for those kids, Jack and Jill."
"We should help them," Batman said from the rooftop. "We did promise to be extra help if anything were to happen."
"Yes, those kids are like our children," Catwoman replied. "You know how much Cherry means to us." she then said with a prying smile with pleading eyes.
Batman paused briefly before nodding. "We should help out our Young Justice members." he then said to his fellow Justice League members.
"Right!" The Justice League group replied before they came to help out the teenagers down below and they soon fought alongside the group against the thralls.
"We have to hurry to City Hall." Drell said.
"All right, Uncle, let's go." Thor smiled.
"You kids go on ahead," Drell decided. "We'll handle this with the Justice League."
"What?!" Thor cried with a frown. "We can't leave you and Salem and Aunt Hilda and Aunt Zelda!"
"Trust me, Junior; this is safer for you," Drell said, a little emotional himself. "Forget about us. Just go to City Hall before you get hurt!"
"And you think going to where Rumplestiltskin is safer with of how he has Iron John with him and Red under his control?" Thor asked.
"Just go!" Drell told him. "We'll hold these thralls off!"
Thor looked sad before he soon ran off with his friends.
"All right, you want some of this?" Drell glared. "I might not have been in Wonderland since college, but I can still take anyone on, especially that big-headed and big-boned Red Queen even if it means I have to go through you too!"
"If we don't act fast, the city will be crawling with these things." Snow White said.
"This is my fault." Sleeping Beauty sighed.
"There's only one person to blame for this," Snow White shook her head. "It's Rumplestiltskin."
Meanwhile, elsewhere...
Rumplestiltskin as he whistled as he came back to Wolf, Red, and his two prisoners, Jack and Jill, who still had their eyes closed, knowing all about his power. Red and Wolf looked over as their boss came in.
"It has started," Rumplestiltskin told the two. "She'll be coming here, along with the others, though it seems debatable on those witches and warlock we met centuries ago in our home world. It won't matter. All we have to do is wait." he then added as he put his hands on Wolf's shoulders.
"You won't get away with this!" Jack snapped.
Rumplestiltskin simply glared at him as he told Wolf what to do. "Hold them off, long enough for my thralls to tear apart this city," he then added to Red as he touched her face with a smirk. "Don't lose these brats... I should've known they'd risk their lives to protect their new friends... Just as their own mother died trying to protect them."
"What?" Jill asked out of surprise.
"Now with them by my side, whether they like it or not, I'll have their powers under my control." Rumplestiltskin said.
"Not while we have our eyes closed." Jack glared.
Rumplestiltskin chuckled coldly at Jack's attempt of being brave and tough. "I can also make sure that the impossible can even happen in this world... With a little help..." he then said before a tank was shown with a short figure inside who was lying on the floor and looked almost dead.
The figure was shown to be Lionel and he was unable to free himself and his powers seemed to be shot out, making him look hopeless, especially to be away from the only real friends he ever had, especially in this dimension.
Meanwhile, Iron John watched as more and more thralls left the doorway to invade this realm as they seemed more like a zombie invasion than an army invasion.
"You sure about this, John?" One goon asked the metal man. "I mean, I've never been called a saint, but this... Seems wrong."
Iron John kept watching more thralls coming out as he felt like one of his goons was right.
Meanwhile, back with Rumplestiltskin...
"There's an entire police force and my army of thralls between us and them," Rumplestiltskin said to Wolf. "They'll send The National Guard... The military... All to rescue 'Mayor Heart' and one-by-one; I will take control of them all."
"You'll never get away with this!" Jack glared.
"Why?" Rumplestiltskin mocked. "Are you meddling kids going to stop me?"
"We'll find a way and then Princess Snow White and her friends will stop you!" Jill said as firmly as she could. "Then she'll take her kingdom back as the queen and we'll all live happily ever after! You'll see!"
"I've heard just about enough out of you two," Rumplestiltskin said, snapping his fingers which made zippers appear on the twins' mouths and they zipped shut which made him smirk as Lionel let out a weak moan at that. "Secure the lobby. No one gets through." he then ordered to Wolf.
Wolf growled lowly in response to that.
"Why don't you head outside?" Rumplestiltskin smirked as he touched Red's face. "And when you see your friends or those little friends of the League of Justice, kill as many as you can. I'd prefer the strong warlock's soul which I hope to sell to the Underworld."
Red and Wolf soon did as they were told before the twins were thrown in the impenetrable tank that kept Lionel inside as he looked like he could waste away at any minute.
