As soon as they appeared in the sheriff station, the place shook everything in the room. Where Emma landed the ground had sunk with the force she had used to get there. She quickly ran over to her office, they followed her wondering why this 'book' was so important they watched as Emma forced open the desk drawer and picked up the metal binding book.
Her parents then knew that was what she had out earlier on her desk when they came in to ask her to lunch with made a satchel appear out of nothing and stashed the book inside of it, she put it on her then went to go grab things around the office that she would never leave behind. A photo of Henry,weapons, and her keys. She rushed to put them in the satchel, then from outside they heard the station doors being forced open.
"We know you are in their Swan!we are coming in!"
Emma went over to the door as quiet as she could, she went to go see how many were there. She saw Greg was their and his goons, she looked out the window to face them.
"GO to HELL"
Greg got mad and smashed in the window with his elbow, he got a hold of Emma before she could return to her parents and Neal. "Get off!" Emma elbowed him in his face making him sport a cut on his eyebrow. He let her go she ran back to her office as fast as she could she ran up to her parents and Neal.
"Take my hand hurry" They didn't even argue, they heard what had happened outside they were breaking in. They quickly disappeared in a bright flash of light, as soon as that happened Greg ran in the office in search of Emma with a pissed off face, he screamed angry that she got away.
They landed on the forest floor right in front of Gold, Nathaniel, Alexander, Elizabeth and Seraphina.
"Oh god"Emma groaned getting up from the ground, the others followed suit brushing off dirt from the ground they were just on.
"Do you have it?" Gold limped towards Emma to check, Emma lifted her satchel and took out the book from it to show him.
"Did you send me this?"
"Yes I did, you needed to know it is after all it was prophesied" Emma's parents stopped moving behind her hearing Gold's words.
"Emma what is he talking about?" Snow stepped towards her daughter, who turned around to look at her with small tears in her eyes.
"You will look after them?" Emma begs her 'friends' who were trying to hold in tears, Nathaniel nodded and stock out his hand for her.
"Always" Emma walked up to it and took his hand in hers bring him into a hug with her, Alexander and Elizabeth joined.
"Emma" David asked in a shuddered breath scared for what was going on. They separated from the hug, Emma turned to face her parents she looked at the ground then at them again.
"I need a minute... alone with my parents...please" Emma's friends nodded before flashing off to prepare for the fight on main street at their hideout, Rumple looked to his son then Emma then he finally left them alone.
"Em what's going on?" Neal approaches Emma taking her hands in his looking her in the eye, knowing that something bad was going to happen.
"What is it you know?!" Emma let's go of his hand and slowly walks away from Neal, so she could compose herself to say what she has to say.
"There's a reason they want me, the council. I think I have known for a while, and I think you have too"
"I'll go with you" Neal rushes over to her in a hug, with tears on his face as he hold onto her tightly knowing now that what he had suspected was right.
"I have to do this alone, this is the kind of job I have to do. I love you so much, if they were any other way I would take it but this needs to happen" Emma held onto him, the love of her life.
"I wish we had more time, I just got you back I don't want to lose you again" Emma rubbed his back as she hugged him, she tried not to cry she had to stay strong for them.
"I know I wish we had all the time in the world together. If there was any other way then I would take it in a heartbeat"
"Then don't" Neal whispers in her ear, begging her praying to anything out there that will stop this from happening. Emma let's go of him after a couple of minutes, he moved her hair out of her face and behind her ear with tears on his face. He knew she had to say goodbye to her parents, and he was going to have to let go of her hand. He did only for a short time, because he wasn't going to let go of it until he had to again.
Neal put his hands on her arms in encouragement trying to wipe away the tears he had on his face, Emma turned towards her parents who looked to have figured it out.
"Emma, Emma no" Snow whispered praying it wasn't so, that all they had been through had been for Emma to do what she was about to do. Emma didn't say anything, she looked into her parents eyes and then let her tears to softly flow down her face.
"Please tell me you aren't going to do what I think your about to do"
"I need to go now, people need me"
"We don't want to lose you again, we have lost so much already no one deserves this"
"It may seem that way, but the truth is I have always known deep down that this what I have to do and who knows it may seem over but things are never what they seem. Maybe instead of an ending it's a beginning of something great"
"We can't let you do this Emma, we cannot lose you again"
"I don't want to lose you ether but this will keep all of you safe, if it has to be at my expense so be it"
"We will find you, we will always find you"
"We will always be together, even when we are apart I learned long ago that the people who leave us aren't really gone there here the whole time with us, in here" Emma pointed to her heart in her chest to them explaining.
"Mom, Dad" Emma said to each of her parents who shared a look of shock,happiness, and sadness on their faces. Emma went and hugged her parents tightly, they gripped onto her holding her as they tried not to cry. Snow put her hand on the back of Emma's head bringing her closer to her, she stroked her daughter's hair trying not to cry as David held onto Emma just as much as she was. Emma tried to break from their grip so it would be less painful for her, it was better to stop like ripping off a band-aid. Her parents wouldn't let go of her, she didn't want to use magic on them so she resorted to words.
"You have to let me go" As Emma said this, she tried to not sound like she was saying it to herself then more to them but failed.
"Please mom, Dad" This made their grip less strong as she said those most precious words that they had dreamed of hearing for as long as she had been born and even before got out of their grip with tears on her eyes, she walked slowly away from them creating distance as she walked away she turned around to face them one more time.
"I love you Mom and Dad, I never wanted any of this to happen I wanted to think when I first learned this was going to happen that if I wished it away hard enough it would disappear... I guess I didn't wish hard enough"
"you are going to di..." Snow put her hand over her mouth to keep out her sobs, but failed she hadn't really tried to.
"I know, this is the job I have to do. Give my love to our friends they need you now you need each other"
"Rumpelstiltskin I summon thee"
"Are you alright Deary, you don't have to do this"
"I have my destiny and you have yours. Give it me" Gold smirked before taking a metal band out of his pocket, he threw it towards her.
Emma took a stance then held out her hand straight towards him, the ring spun through the air before sliding onto Emma's finger perfectly in place. The ring began to glow white, the word 'Savior' glowed brighter than the ring a bright light formed around Emma shooting up into the sky over the town and more. Emma could feel the power coursing through her veins, love all around her.
Emma's mind showed her a scene taking place, she couldn't do anything but watch.
In a large secret corporation building in New York city, a man shoots up from his sleep in his bedroom an agent outside heard this and came in to see what was the matter.
" Mr. Crane what is it?"
"The Savior...she wields the ring"
"What shall we do my lord?"
"Find her and Destroy her into darkness, we have a new like we are going to Storybrooke Maine and the plan will succeed, we will destroy the realms and plunge them into darkness for all eternity and no will stop us"
"Emma, are you alright?!"Snow ran over to her daughter who had fallen to the floor after she had stopped glowing, Emma laid there on the ground with her eyes open and glowing white.
She had just seen something that was nearly impossible to see for a normal person. Emma noticed her mom coming over to her to check if she was alright, she helped her up from the ground. Emma shook from what she had seen, this Mr. Crane was coming to her town and she didn't know how to stop him.
"I saw him" Emma whispered in disbelief, as she processed what she had seen she looked towards Gold who looked shocked as much as her.
"What did he say?"
"He is coming to Storybrooke he know's I have the ring"
"We have to act quickly, we have to go to my shop" Gold asked to the trees, a second later 'the Seekers' jumped down thirty feet like it was nothing and jogged over to Snow,Emma, David and Neal.
They found themselves in Gold's shop, Gold limped over to the curtained windows to look outside at the riot between the town's people and the agents that work for the council.
"Let's do this,I love a good fight" Alexander cheered seeing the fighting outside, he always found excitement in defeating council agents it was fun to him.
"He's right let's go, more people can get hurt" Emma declared clenching her hand into a fist touching the ring a little. They nodded at each other and the seekers let their leader take charge.
"Mary Margaret, David you go find Ruby, Granny, Blue anyone that can help fight. Neal I need you to go with your father to find Henry and make sure he and Regina are okay, if they are fine head back to main street to help us. Okay My crew follow me" Emma signaled for Nathaniel to come by her to help, she ignored her parents as they watched her take charge of the situation with her 'friends'.
"Nathaniel hand me the U.K.S" Nathaniel took the silver box out of his bag and gave it to the blonde who clicked a button which made a hologram map of main street appear before them, Emma and her friends seemed to be used to the technology but not Snow and David they watched closely as Emma started to explain.
"Okay agents are spread down main street, seems like an easy fix. After we take them out we need to check the perimeter of the town and have guards at all entrances, because if and when the big man comes we could use a little extra time on our hands to prepare the towns people for their safety to stay in their houses at all times unless it is safe again. I think we have everything covered, let move out!" Emma got up from being crouched down on the floor, she felt eyes on her so she turned around to find her parents still their.
"I thought you guys had left, you should go people are in danger" This shook them from their thoughts, they nodded to her then went to the backroom and out the back exit in which Neal and Rumple had exited earlier.
"Okay who is ready to help some people out"
"Us, but before we do lets change into more functional clothing"
"I agree"
They all snapped their fingers and changed what they were wearing with a flash of bright light, Emma was wearing a light weight white shirt with a red tunic on top with white flowers on it and a white stripe near the collar of it, she wore brown pants and boots as well. She also had a sword and sheath by her side the sword was special in any one else's hands it was an ordinary blade but in the hands of the Savior it held the strength of many, her hair was in a pony tail with a red tie.
Nathaniel wore a light weight white shirt and a plain blue tunic, Alexander wore a light weight white shirt and a green tunic, Elizabeth wore a light weight white shirt with a yellow tunic.
"all right let hit it" They disappeared in flash of bright white light.
Snow, David and their friends who some were considered family were fighting some agents. Ruby and Granny were taking down agents, the rest were fighting really hard but it wasn't enough they needed help. They fought them off until both sides formed ranks to continue the fight, the town knew they needed help. Some were shouting 'where was the savior' and 'where the hell the sheriff was'.
It had seemed Greg and Tamara had finally arrived to the fight on main street, they had formed ranks on each side of town the council on the side coming into town and the town's people on the other facing from the town itself. Tamara and Greg made their way through the agents to the front to face the town, Charming and Snow on the other in leading versing each other.
Greg was handed a microphone from an agent, he clicked it on and began to talk into it. "Give up the Savior now, or die"
"Never" Snow spat at him coming forward only to have her husband to pull her back to the crowd.
"foolish women, I am looking around and I see no Savior. I guess she abandoned all of you people to save her own ass" Greg laughed into the microphone, which made all the agents follow in his laughter.
"Come out, come out where ever you are Swan or watch as we kill your parents all over again. Poor orphan Emma, never could stop us" Greg waited for a reaction or response from Emma, waited for her to appear but she didn't so he did something to make her.
Greg sauntered over to her parents with four agents behind him, he walked over to Snow grinning evilly knowing he would win. He motioned for the agents to hold back David as he walked to snow, he fought them but the used a taser and finally restrained him in their grip, he had to watch this happen he struggled in their arms but couldn't break free.
Greg grabbed snow's arms, she kicked him hard in the knee's from a strength as her time as a bandit but it wasn't powerful enough to stop him. Greg held Snow in his arms, he took out a gun from his pocket putting it at her temple of her skull.
"This is a part of the Savior's heart everybody, even though no one can magically take her heart she keeps it in a person she loves the most" Greg spoke into the microphone knowingly to get a reaction from the savior.
"You know we killed her parents just like were going to kill you"
"Emma will kill you first" Snow spat at him in anger, Greg slapped her across the face and dropped her to the ground where she fell on her but, he pointed the gun at Mary Margaret.
Every thing went in slow motion, David was screaming and fighting the agents grip, Greg stood there victorious with the shadow's army behind him as he pointed the gun at Snow on the ground sitting.
Then there was bright light next to Greg's left, people were blinded so they couldn't really see what had happened. The light dissipated a little as a person steeped out of the white streams of light, they had blond hair.
They steeped over to Greg took his hand which had the gun in it and twisted it making the gun drop to the ground.
"GET AWAY FROM MY MOTHER!" Emma punched him in the face knocking him out completely, before holding out her hand for snow to help her up from the ground.
The seekers appeared the same way all around Emma and Snow in the middle of the ranks, they helped the agents off of David who ran over to Snow and Emma. David pulled snow into his arms checking her over for injury from the bastard who lied on the floor with a cut on his face.
Emma walked over to the town ranks with the Seeker's, her parents went over to Granny and Red who were watching Emma and they watched as well. Emma was dressed in enchanted forest clothing, they never saw her in anything besides clothes from this world, her friends wore similar but different colored clothing.
Emma stood in front of the towns ranks with her friends and Nathaniel at her side, her parents and their friends joined her creating a pyramid in front of the town ranks.
The Council agents were getting ready to fight as the town did, Tamara went over to Greg and woke him up pulling him back to the front of the ranks. The agents took out prods and night sticks like cops use, some took out swords as well to even out the towns people who sported the same weapons.
They were waiting for someone to say something or to strike on both sides, they needed to start the fight.
"Look who finally showed up, Poor pathetic orphan Emma Swan" Tamara spoke trying to diss Emma for hurting Greg, she looked at Emma the tip of the pyramid for the town with dagger can squash her like a bug if she wanted to, but that would make her just as bad as her.
"Get of MY TOWN, bitch"
"Make us orphan, your done as soon as HE steps into town and when he does this town will be swallowed by the darkness, and the light will cease to exist" Greg spat at Emma with blood on his mouth from the hell of a punch curtousy of Emma, to people in other realms being punched let alone touched by the savior was a blessing.
Emma put her hand to the hilt of her sword in its shealth, she gripped it wanting to stop them and the darkness. "There will always be light in the darkness, if everyone in this town believes in the light the darkness will never defeat us. Where ever there is a shadow in the dark light is near by"
"That maybe true, but what if there were no shadow's. It is the shadow's specialty to take them away from people who cross him Swan. No one shall defeat him!"
"He hasn't met me yet"
"We will see about that, GET READY!" Greg screamed to his side the council agents, the dark. Emma stood there trying to hold no fear at all,a flicker of light. She looked to her sides at her friends and Family, they looked scared at what was starting in front of them. Neal and Rumple made there way through the town people, Neal made his way to Emma's left side Rumple went over by Emma's parents.
"Is Henry safe!?"
"Yes, he is with Regina perfectly fine. Are you okay?"
"I am now" Emma knew how she was going to do this now, she had her strength with her. Her family was safe, they were together and she had the love of her life by her side. She was Emma Swan.
Emma turned her head to Nathaniel "Are you with me?"
"To the death" Nathaniel said with complete honesty and devotion.
Emma took out her sword from her sheath, she raised it above her head in a symbol for her side to get ready. Her side shook and shouted in encouragement to charge against the outsiders across from them.
Emma took her sword and brought it in front of her face as she mental prepared herself for what was going to happen even though it wouldn't work on making her feel any different.
"FOR STORYBROOKE!" Emma started to run towards the dark side to fight, everyone followed her trusting her with their lives. People screamed and shouted while charging, the other side began to run as well making Emma and Tamara the first to start fighting. Neal took on Greg by hitting him with his sword, Greg held a nightstick blocking the moves; Emma did the same with Tamara she was winning easily.
Tamara seemed to know she couldn't win against Emma, so she resorted to words against her. There were people fighting every where around them, Her parents and their friends, her crew everyone in town seemed to be fighting.
She fought Tamara hard, she cut Tamara's arm giving her a nice cut; she continued to fight for a while until she heard her father cry out in pain. Emma looked to find him and she did, he clutched his shoulder which was cut from an agent. Emma knocked Tamara down by swiping her foot out from under her making her fall, she ran over to her father to help.
Emma ran over to him throwing agents away from her with one swipe of light, she targeted her fathers opponent and continued to charge at him. Emma ran and jumped onto an overturned car then off of it slicing the agent in front of her father, he fell to the ground. Emma stood there in the fight they had won staring at her sword not wanting to look at her father, David stared at her in wonder at what she had done. Emma walked over to him and put her hand over his cut healing him with a bright light, she looked at him for a second before...
"Emma their getting away!" Emma looked over to the voice of Nathaniel, he pointed to Tamara and Greg trying to get in a car to drive away. Emma looked for Neal who was on the ground knocked out, she ran over to him on her knees and shook him awake.
"There getting away"
"Go get them I will be fine babe"
Emma helped him up and went to go, but Neal took her wrist before and turned her around bringing her in for a kiss. When they broke the kiss breathing heavenly, he smiled at her "Kick their ass for me". Emma smiled at him then ran over to the over turned car near her father who was with her mother at the moment, he was explaining to her what Emma had done.
They watched shocked as Emma ran over to the overturned car jumping on it then off it onto her broomstick that flew in for her, The seekers followed her on their's. No one comes into her town and get's away with it.
They were going down.
Emma flew close to the car, she slowed down near the drivers window. "Pull over now!, as Sheriff I order you to pull over"The driver turned the wheel trying to make the car hit into Emma, she tried fly away before they could hit her, but was slow the car hit her a little making her hit her head against it creating a nice cut on her head in the process. "Stop Mr. Crane wants her alive you dumb ass, lead her out of town away from magic!" Tamara yelled at the driver, hitting him angry.
Emma flew back over to the car pull over "You stop the car or I will make it stop" The driver increased in speed down the road out of storybrooke.
"You asked for it" Emma pulled out a gun from her belt, she shot it at one of the wheels which caused it to pop only before repairing itself with this weird green substance. They neared the town line, Emma ran out of bullets so she chucked the gun at the driver's face causing him to swerve and hit a tree.
Greg stumbled out of the car dragging Tamara who was knocked out at the moment. He dragged his girlfriend to the line then crossed, they watched as he did so. He looked to Emma.
"We will be back bitch, next time you will face HIM. The light will die, and ever lasting darkness will cover the realms, and it will be your fault"
"Forget it, there's no way the light will die as long as I love with my heart the light will never go out" Emma turned around away from him walking towards her broom stick exhausted.
"You will lead us into everlasting Darkness Emma Swan, and you will never see your family again" Emma turned around sharply at the words family and never again, she stared at Greg who was smirking.
Emma stared him down, she looked into his eye's then she knew. "Owen" Greg was shocked, how did she know his real name.
"What did they do to you?"
"Regina killed my father"
"I'm so sorry, I know how it feels to loose your parents to feel like a part of your heart is missing. It does get better you find someone new, to help you love again" Emma looked towards Tamara, then back at him.
"You don't have to hurt anyone like you have hurt, you can let the light in again" Emma asked him hopefully, but her smile dropped when he held a dark face.
"The darkness will consume all the realms, the light is weakness"
"No your wrong it's strength" Emma went on her broom stick feeling exashted, her headache was coming in now.
"There's still time to do the right thing" then she flew off leaving him there thinking holding Tamara in his arms, she started to wake up.
"Did she exit town?"
"No" Greg whispered to her having the thoughts of Emma's words in his mind 'there's still time to do the right thing'.
David and Snow had assembled the squad car and other cars as well, she noticed an ambulance, and some other cars on main street caring for the wounded. Emma flew over the brush of tree's and down main street towards her parents and Neal, she had a headache boy and it hurt like Tamara a bitch. Emma felt faint, her vision started going blurry so much so fell off of her broom
"Emma!" Snow ran over to her daughter who fell of her broom, snow went on the ground picking up the broom stick from on top of her daughter before taking her head in her lap. David and Neal ran over to her, and went down on their knees as well.
"Is she okay?!"
"Yes, she just fainted"
"Let's get her back to the apartment" David picked Emma up in his arms, he cradled her close to his chest, Snow carried Emma's broom stick in her hand standing next to him as they walked home and off of main street.
They had a lot coming up in the next days, Emma's birthday, Neal and Emma's wedding, and apparently this Crane guy was coming to destroy the town. Great, Snow looked down at her daughter's face as she sleep in her bed at home thinking how long did she have before she lost her baby again.
