Pan's Cave
The Shadow swooped in and dropped Gold at Pan's feet, grabbed his injured lab, he reached for his cane, But Felix pulled it away
Pan laughed as he saw the former Dark One on the ground before him, "It's good to see you again Laddie"
Gold pulled himself over to a rock and leaned against it, "I….I'm sorry I don't know who you boys are….I don't even I know where I am"
Pan smirked at Felix "Did you get it?"
"Yeah I got it" he pulled out the dagger, "took me a while to figure out his combination….but I got it"
"What was it any way"
"2,3,5,12,6,9,20,5"
"hmm well Rumple are you sure you don't remember me?"
"No boy…I don't know you"
"Felix now"
Felix leaned next to Gold and whispered in his ear "Emma"
Gold closed his eyes for a moment, then grabbed his forehead, he rubbed his eyes as 250 years of memories came pouring back in to his head, Pan smiled as a purple aura surrounded Gold
Gold grabbed the rock he was leaning against and pulled himself up, his limp was gone, and his magic was returned to him
"Where am I!?"
"Well Rumple…your where you belong…in Neverland!"
"let me go!"
Gold charged a fire ball in his hand, Pan giggled to himself and waved his hand, a green aura covered Gold, and the fire ball disappeared
"don't you get it Laddie, your not leaving unless I want you to leave"
"Why did you bring me here 'Pan'?"
"really Rumple….220 years and you still won't call me my real name"
"you have long lost the right to that name….now return me to storybrook….I need to find my son"
Pan tossed the dagger in the air then caught it, "oh your gonna love me Laddie once you hear what I have to say"
The Beach
The green vortex opened and Emma and Bae fell to the ground, Bae softly chuckled as he stood back up "We're back Emma…"
"Yeah….now we need to find Henry"
"Okay but first things first, we need to return to our hut"
"Why?"
Bae smiled "just gotta trust me"
The Woods
Emma slowly followed behind Bae, neither of them had any way to protect themselves, and in Neverland that was a necessity
"What happened to August?"
"Well, the Forgotten Ones took him in, and they held Pan's troops off while I escaped, do you think he could die?….I mean I always figured, being made of wood made him sorta immortal"
Pan's Cave
Gold watched as Pan held the Dark One dagger, "So what are you going to do?….kill me?"
Pan started laughing "Kill You!?…..wow good to know you haven't lost your sense of humor Rumple, no I'm not going to kill you, I'm going to give it to you"
"Why would you do a thing like that?'
"Cause it's a game Rumple, Felix!…bring the boy" Felix left the cave for a moment and returned with the unconscious dark haired boy
"His names Henry, and I'm going to rip his heart out of his chest, unless…."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you let me keep the dagger and you get to keep the boy"
"what do I care for the boy?"
Pan could barely contain himself "he is the boy who will lead you to Baelfire, but as you know he will be your undoing"
Gold was shocked, Pan's evil smirk grew "and there a even juicier twist to all this, this young boy Henry, is Baelfire's son"
Gold couldn't hold back his shock, and his fear, he had pushed it away all these years, never allowing for a child to get close enough to him to be a threat, making sure the children he took were either traded away quickly or were just females, now his nemesis was sleeping in front of him….but it was his grandson
"I'll give you until sunrise to decide….oh and Rumple?"
"What?"
"here you look bloody ridiculous" he waved his hand and a green puff of smoke engulfed Gold, when it dissipated his suit was gone, replaced with a black scale jacket, and black pants, and shirt
"Now there's the dark one we all know and love….now start thinking tik tok 'dearie'"
Gold walked out of the cave, and pondered what to do, on one hand he had the ticket to making things right with Bae right in front of him, but the other his power
The Woods
Bae noticed there were no lost boys in sight, "Okay Emma the hut should be right this wa…..DUCK!" Bae leaped on top of Emma and the duo narrowly missed the arrow
"Bae what the hells going on!?"
"shh Emma, I'll draw there fire, you get to the hut….GO!" Emma leaped up and started running while Bae turned and charged at the Lost Boys
Pan's Cave
Pan watched as Gold ran his fingers through the curved blade of the Dark One's Dagger, "So Rumple have you made a decision?" Pan waved his hand and the dagger reappeared in his hand
Gold slowly pulled himself up, he had a smile one that most of the people of the Enchanted Forest knew, was never a good sign "I chose potion C" he snapped his fingers and suddenly his shadow flew from behind Pan tackling him to the ground and ripping the dagger from his hand
The Shadow offer the dagger to Gold, "No you take it and hide it where no one will ever find it…..not even me"
Gold then hobbled himself over to Pan, "I know exactly why you want the boy Papa, I can see the magic is already fading" Gold smirked as he noticed grey hairs forming on Pan's scalp "I'll take the boy now" he hobbled himself over to the outside of the cave where the unconscious Henry laid
Gold picked the boy up and started hobbling away, The Boy Will Be Your Undoing
The Hut
Emma ran into the hut and looked around, Bae and August definitely kept the place stocked, Emma found swords, shields, bows and arrows, everything they would need to stop Pan and get Henry back
?
Bae laid on the ground the barrages of arrows seemed never ending, but then he felt a surge of heat hit him and he was out like a light
Bae awoke with his forehead bandaged and his hands wrapped up, he pulled himself up and slowly left the room, he found his old sword next to the door, he grabbed it and ran outside, he found swarms of children roaming around the large gated community, they all were armed with swords and arrows
"Oh Good Your awake" Bae drew his sword and turned, August leaped back "Whoa Bae calm down your among friends here"
"Au….August is that really you" August smiled he was back to being flesh and blood.
"Come with me I'll tell you all about it buddy"
The Hut
Emma wrapped the thread around herself and pulled the sword to her back, she strapped 2 daggers to each of her legs, she then pulled out her wallet and ran her finger over the picture of Henry and wiped away the tears "I'm coming sweetie"
The Woods
sat against a tree and caught his breath, he couldn't carry the boy any more, he had to catch his breath, Henry started shaking asleep "shh boy, it'll be okay just go back to sleep"
"Where am I?" Henry's eyes were starting to close again, Hell Gold thought, they were in hell with no way to get home
