Chapter 15 Working as One.
Shortly after Emma enters the portal she created to go to the Dark Realm.
The blue sky in Storybrooke turned pitch black and the Black Fairy flys, out of the portal she used Gideon magic to open and the portal is slowing getting bigger!
The Black Fairy roams the sky blasting multiple buildings with her dark magic causing chaos!
Fiona destruction draws the people of Storybrooke, out from the convent and onto the streets of Storybrooke where they gasp upon the sight of Fiona.
"Oh, my god Fiona she free" Snow shouts.
"Hello, dearies it's time for the saviour to meet her end," Fiona says with a wicked streak in her voice.
"You will not harm our daughter" Snow and Charming yell as they run towards Fiona, Snow starts firing arrows at her but Fiona just evapourates them with magic just when Zelena and Regina are about to step in Elizabeth makes a gesture for them to stop before she walks in front of the crowd to face her sister.
"What is Elizabeth doing my mother is the most powerful dark practitioner of magic, of all time," Gold said.
"Dear, nephew don't worry I've fought my fair share of beasts" Elizabeth replies.
"I guess nicknames in our family stick" Fiona chuckles before firing a beam of magic at Elizabeth.
"What you have done for the past three centuries is beyond malevolent and cruel sister" Elizabeth snaps before firing a beam of light magic and the sisters magic collide!
"Elizabeth as a powerful witch she seems that she can't beat her sister," Regina commented.
"We can't let her kill Emma," Snow spoke while Fiona and Elizabeth fight Elizabeth finds her light magic weakening due to the dark magic coming from the Dark Realm and she struggles to keep up with her sister!
"Do you feel that Gina the light magic in this realm it's fading,"? Zelena asks.
"I can't hold out much longer," Elizabeth says trying to hold out longer than her sister.
"Time to go, Fiona," Hazel said as she pulls out her wand and makes a gesture and Fiona becomes devoured by brown smoke only to disrupt the teleportation spell with her dark magic.
"Enough" Fiona barks as she overpowers Elizabeth who has to jump out of the way as Fiona's blast was about to hit her Fiona makes a gesture paralyzing the people of Storybrooke with her dark magic.
"We can't move," Red spoke.
"Now, tell me where is the saviour" Fiona demands to know.
Meanwhile, in the Dark Realm, a portal opens up in Fiona's lair and Emma Swan steps out of it!
The moment Emma entered Fiona's lair all of Fiona's minions fled just leaving Emma with Gideon and Robin.
Emma first sees Robin in the sphere of dark magic and makes a swift movement with the enchanted sword channelling her power along with magic form the people of Storybrooke the sword releases a wave of light magic which frees Robin, Robin falls to the ground but is unharmed.
"Did anyone call a saviour?" Emma said.
"Oh, thank god you're here Emma" Gideon and Robin reply.
"You, have to break the mystic seal and the decipher on Gideon before it forces him to open the gateway between the Dark Realm and Storybrooke completely," Robin informed Emma.
"I don't think we have time," Gideon spoke as more of his magical energy was about to be released form him Emma acting quickly launches the enchanted sword straight at the magical decipher causing the decipher to be destroyed by the immense light magic the light magic from the sword then travels to the dark seal trapping Gideon and destroys it, however, the enchanted swords break in half from destroying the decipher and seal!
"You did it" Gideon mumbled before almost stumbling to the floor but Robin and Emma run to him and give him support on both sides.
"Guys, how do we get back to Storybrooke,"? Robin asks.
"The portal, I came in" Emma announced as she goes to point in the direction of the portal but finds it has closed.
"It's gone and we can't go through the portal Fiona went through the darkness would kill you guys instantly," Gideon says.
"What about the sword," Emma suggested.
"It's broken," Robin pointed out as she picks up the part of the sword you hold in your hand.
"If only we could restore the sword I felt so powerful with its magic flowing through me," Emma replied.
"Maybe we can maybe if we join our powers we could restore the sword and open a portal to Storybrooke," Gideon said.
"What no way" Robin snaps.
"Robin is right too much has already been taken from you," Emma says.
"It's what anyone in our family would do," Gideon replies.
"Fine, we'll try" Emma announces before Robin passes her the piece of the sword she picked up Emma holds that piece up high then Gideon places one of his hands on Emma's shoulder while his other hand touches the broken piece of the sword in Emma's hand and then the two begin to combine their magic causing a white gold magic to manifest from the broken piece of the sword and slowly inch by inch the enchanted sword becoming restored.
"It's working," Robin says however just a few seconds before the sword is about to be fully restored Gideon's condition worsens!
"Gideon maybe you should stop" Emma spoke concerned about her son's uncle.
"No, keep going" Gideon replies and not even a second later the sword is completely restored Emma quickly then opens the portal and the three enter the portal and make their way back to Storybrooke!
Back to Fiona and the people of Storybrooke, Belle and Baelfire who are now a species unknown to the world and surprise themselves when they're able to break free from the anti-movement spell Fiona placed on them!
Belle and Baelfire know from recent experience they can't be hurt easily and their strength and agility have been enhanced to a level all on its own.
Baelfire acts quickly by using his new agility, to surprise Fiona by jumping several feet off the ground grabs her before the two hit the ground bruising, Fiona!
"Ow, you actually managed to hurt me," Fiona shouts before blasting Baelfire with her dark magic causing Baelfire to go flying into a car and lands hard on the top of the car with a few cuts.
"You, will not lay a hand on my family" Belle snaps as she used her new supernatural speed to run up to Fiona before punching her in the face Fiona is stunned and stumbles a few steps back before Belle grabs her by the neck and then with her free hand Belle grabs Fiona's waist and throws her into the clocktower!
"I didn't know I could do that," Belle said the moment after Fiona crashed through the clocktower.
"I guess Gideon and Prue's spell came with a fighting manual," Baelfire commented as he got off the car and walked up to Belle.
"I'll make you two, suffer for your actions" Fiona shouts as she flew out the clock tower and before striking Belle and Baelfire with lighting the two are so badly hurt they have bruises over bruises and bleeding cuts all over their body!
In Storybrooke's forest, a small portal opens and Emma, Robin and Gideon enter the forest through the portal before it closes.
Gideon in attempt to relieve himself of the pressure to stand rests his back against a tree while Emma and Robin are standing perfectly.
"The sky it's pitch black," Gideon commented.
"It must be the extra power Fiona brought with her," Emma says.
"We need to find Fiona and put her down," Robin replied.
"No, correction you guys have to I'm going to stay here," Gideon announced.
"What no, we need to get you to a hospital or the convent," Robin snaps.
"Don't bother nobody will be at the convent or the hospital with Fiona here Emma needs to go and face Fiona and Robin you need to get your family and Rick out of here," Gideon said in between heavy breaths.
"What about you, Gideon you're injured"? Emma asks.
"Colette told me that me winning the fight against Fiona, didn't matter and I finally understand winning the war matters, not every battle Emma you have to face her you're the only one strong enough," Gideon explained.
"Fine, but straight after the battle I'm coming back for you," Robin spoke before Emma teleported herself Robin to the main street of Storybrooke in white smoke.
Fiona, who is now bored of waiting for the saviour to arrive decided to punish the people of Storybrooke.
But before she can cast another spell a wave of light magic hits her causing her to fall to the ground!
"Emma Swan," Fiona says with venom in her voice.
"Child snatcher," Emma snarls with the sword in her hand.
"I've been waiting for over three centuries to kill you," Fiona replied.
"Too bad you've had a wasted trip," Emma spoke before firing a beam of light magic at Fiona who deflects the attack the battle between Emma and Fiona carried on for minutes and with every minute the stronger Fiona got and the weaker Emma got from the extra darkness that is entering Storybrooke.
"Give in Saviour, and I'll end you quickly" Fiona snarls as she fires more dark magic at Emma who counters it with her light magic.
"No, for as long as evil like you pose a threat I will not stand down," Emma shouts only causing Fiona frustration.
"Then say goodbye to your precious loved ones" Fiona laughs as she fires a beam of dark magic at Robin who attempting to teleport her loved ones to a safe location unaware of the attack heading towards her, Emma without thinking runs in front of Robin letting her guard down and is hit by Fiona's dark magic!
"EMMA" The people of Storybrooke scream.
"Good riddance" Fiona snarls.
Meanwhile, back in Storybrooke's forest.
We have Gideon who has recovered a bit from his encounter with Fiona.
But knows that Emma needs all the help she can get since Fiona has a power boast from the dark energy from the Dark Realm, which Fiona brought here by using Gideon to open a portal.
"Gatekeeper, why do you stand alone," The voice of a mysterious woman said in the distance.
"Who said that,"? Gideon asks.
"I'm your friend your alley your partner" The mysterious woman replied walking closer to Gideon.
"I don't know you," Gideon says when he gets a closer look at the woman who has green eyes dark blond hair and is wearing ancient robes.
"We are one in the same both chosen to carry a great responsibility and you stand alone with no saviour by your side," The woman said.
"Speak clearly your name and why you're here," Gideon snaps.
"My name is Tamar and I am the original Gatekeeper," Tamar revealed.
"I failed and I don't know what to do," Gideon replies.
"No, not yet I fear the saviour hasn't got long left the balance between good and evil has been disrupted and as the keeper of balance, you have to close the portal to the Dark Realm," Tamar instructed.
"I can't I don't have the strength," Gideon spoke.
"Child you don't know your strength we gatekeepers are one but separate apart but together we have closed and opened many portals do it while you can" Tamar replied before vanishes in a dim light.
"I opened the portal it's time to close it I call upon all my power as the Gatekeeper close the vortex of darkness and take with it the darkness Fiona brought with her" Gideon commands and within seconds Gideon releases his remaining magic in the form of a largely concentrated beam of gold light that ascends to the sky of darkness and travels from the forest all the way to the main street of Storybrooke, where everyone apart from Gideon is.
Gideon collapses a moment later.
Back to the main street of Storybrooke, where everyone is witnessing Emma's final moments.
The people of Storybrooke try everything in their power to do something to stop Fiona but find themselves powerless.
Just when Emma feels her life about to slip away in pitch black sky the beam of gold light shines brightly getting everyone's attention when it collides with the portal Fiona created through Gideon!
The moment the beam of gold light hits the dark vortex all the extra dark magic Fiona brought to this world returned to the Dark Realm before the vortex closed within seconds.
Then the beam of light explodes and countless droplets of Gideon's magic falls down freeing the people of Storybrooke from Fiona's paralysing spell before the sky returned blue.
"My extra dark magic it's gone," Fiona shouts.
"We can move," Regina commented.
"No, matter make one single move and I will take you out one at a time," Fiona announced.
"I have an idea people of Storybrooke, channel whatever magic you have left into Emma," Rick instructed.
"Why Rick,"? Robin asks.
"Just do it like you did to me in the Theoriser," Rick shouted and within seconds the people of Storybrooke present who have magic fire their magic at Emma who absorbs it and finds herself growing stronger and the damage Fiona inflicted heals Emma stands tall as Fiona snarled in anger of her lost power boast.
"You were saying Fiona," Emma said.
"I will still pick you all off one at a time," Fiona barks.
"Look around Fiona, we're not coming for you one at a time," Emma replies as she fires all her remaining light magic along with the people of Storybrooke's magic at Fiona's dark magic and is quickly able to overpower Fiona, Fiona upon being hit by Emma's light magic Fiona's hands become chained with enchanted chains and falls to the ground only slightly injured before after's Emma's spell ends and the people of Storybrooke end, they're channeling.
"My magic what did you do"? Fiona demands to know.
"Saviours, don't kill Fiona, those chains I created bind your magic as long as you wear those chains your magic is non-existent," Emma explains.
"Not to spoil this precious moment but where did all the dark magic go and the vortex and what the hell was the beam of light,"? Red asked.
"That was Gideon or should I say the Gatekeeper," Emma said.
"Gideon, we have to go back to the forest he was weak when we left but after this," Robin says.
"Emma, teleport us there now," Gold almost shouted out of concern and within a second Emma makes a gesture teleporting Fiona to a cell in the sheriff station in a poof of white smoke while herself, Gold, Belle, Robin and Baelfire along with Rick and Elizabeth appear in the forest a couple of centimetres away from Gideon who lying on the ground.
Gideon's heavy eyes find themselves becoming less heavy.
Before what feels forever but is actually quickly Gideon's eyes flutter open and he lifts his head to see his immediate family around him all but Henry.
Gideon finds himself struggling to stand but not for long when Robin and Rick run up to him and give him physical support.
"Tell me this isn't a dream," Gideon said.
"It's not a dream Giddy you're back we're all back home," Rick replies.
"You, did it Gideon you closed the vortex of darkness just in time," Emma spoke.
"I'm so happy to be back the Lost Realm, needed to invest in comfortable mattresses," Gideon commented.
"Well, you won't miss your own mattress because you're grounded," Gold says expecting an outburst everyone just witnesses Gideon laugh for the first time in weeks.
"I guess Fiona, gave me more time with my mattress I should do it more often," Gideon jokes.
"Don't joke you shouldn't have gone alone we should have gone back here straight away" Rick lectured.
"Yes, I did I'm the Gatekeeper well not anymore and it was my duty to remain balance which Fiona threatened" Gideon replied.
"We're proud of you Gideon just doesn't plan to pull any stunts like this again," Belle said as she hugged her son with Gold.
"I think it's time to return to the main street and see what celebration Regina will have planned," Emma spoke up.
"I guess we better," Robin replied.
