There was something on Emma's mind about Anya and she finally decided to talk to the girl about it. Emma found Anya sitting in a booth at Granny's with a 'cellphones for dummies' book in her hands and a pot of tea in front of her. Without word or warning, she slid into the seat across from her. "We need to talk."

Anya lowered the book and set it aside. "About what?" She wasn't quite sure where this was going and found no point in beating around the bush.

"In the grand scheme of things I guess this doesn't matter, but I feel like you don't like me very much. I want to make sure that whatever my counterpart did to you doesn't cloud your judgement of me." Emma still wasn't sure how she felt about Anya one way or the other but she could see how quickly Anya was incorporating herself in everyone's lives.

Anya didn't answer the not liking her part, and simply answered with, "Well it does affect my judgement, Emma." Not wanting to discuss this any further, Anya lifted her book saying, "Now, if you'll excuse me I have some important reading to do."

Emma knew she just hit a brick wall with her. She didn't try to say anything further and silently took her leave.

When Anya heard the bell above the door jingle, she turned around and watched Emma go. It wasn't that Anya didn't like Emma – it was that she needed Emma not to like her. The reason why flash through her mind at lightning speeds…

"Why…why did they do that?!" Anya cried out as Emma tried pulling her deeper into the forest trying to get as far away from the Black Fairy as possible.

"To protect you, Anya," Emma answered, not letting her grief keep her from doing what was needed – keeping Anya safe at all costs. "Don't let my parents' deaths be in vain. Now run!"

Anya ran with Emma for awhile to the safe haven Gideon set up previously but Anya couldn't run any longer. She dropped to the ground, crying out in pain as she clutched at her chest. "It hurts!"

Emma knew what was happening and had to do everything in her power to stop it. She crouched in front of Anya and drove her hand into her chest to pull out her heart. It was cracked to the point almost shattering. If Anya's heart shattered then it would be open to Darkness and that is what the Queen of Hearts wanted.

Anya looked at her heart with tears in her eyes. "Crush it," she begged of Emma. "End this. Cora will stop if I'm dead. I'm the last of her bloodline."

"I can't do that, Anya." She held Anya's heart close to her chest and made herself clear. "My Light will mend your heart – hope will keep it mended. Love will heal it. Do not blame yourself for this." Before Anya could question it, Emma placed her hands on her heart and with white magic it started to glow and mend. Emma thrust the still glowing heart back into Anya's chest and there was a burst of light that radiated out of them both.

Anya's eyes adjusted after the light around them faded and she placed her hand on her chest already feeling better, and felt there was now a protection spell around her heart. She then looked down to see Emma's lifeless body on the ground. "Emma?" she tried to shake Emma awake. "No…Emma, no! Don't leave me, too! Emma!"

Anya was pulled out of her memory when she felt someone touch her shoulder and say her name over and over again. She looked up to see Granny standing there with a concerned look on her face. "You alright, hon?"

"I'm fine," Anya replied then answered her ringing cellphone. "Regina? I'm on my way." She placed some of the paper money Belle had given her on the table and left the diner without looking back because she hated to lie, and that was exactly what she'd just done.

Anya joined the others at the Sheriff's station where Zelena told them about the Black Fairy's visit and Zelena said presently, "I was just about to wring her scrawny little neck and then just she poofed away."

"Make sense she's headed for the Dwarf tunnels," Emma interjected, "It's an easy place to hide."

"And there are miles of them below Storybrooke," David added in. "Pinning her down in there won't be easy."

Regina thought for a moment before saying, "Well, the good news is, whatever her plan was for the Final Battle, she needs help. Which means we may have time to figure out how to stop her."

Hook pulled a piece of wood from his pocket. "Well, perhaps that's where this piece of wand comes in. Tiger Lily said it had been used to banish the Black Fairy once."

Anya looked at the piece of wand saying, "I wish I had that in my Realm." No such wand existed where she came from. "You only have half of it, so where do we look for the other?"

"I'm not waiting around for some piece of wand," Zelena interjected. "The only reason I didn't blast that noir-colored nit out of existence is because of Robin." She looked down at the baby carriage beside her.

Anya had a double-take moment. "Your daughter's name is Robin?"

"After her father," Zelena answered then realized how awkward that might be for Anya but didn't say anything about it.

Anya's mouth dropped a bit and her mind went blank; she literally couldn't function. "I – no, I can't process this right now."

"Don't hold it against Robin," Regina said to Anya and at Zelena's offended expression she said, "No offense, Zelena."

Anya rubbed her temples because this was so confusing and it was literally giving her a headache.

Zelena went back to the topic at hand saying, "If one of you would be kind enough to watch Robin, I'll do what I intended and go and take care of this."

Regina couldn't let her do that. "Well hold on. You can't just go down there alone and confront her."

"I'll go with her," Anya offered, stepping forward. "I want this Black Fairy dead as much as the rest of you." It wouldn't make up for anything in her Realm but it could prevent a similar fate in this one.

"I don't need your help," Zelena countered and at Regina's expression she scoffed, "What? You think I can't defeat her?"

"I'm speaking from experience here, Aunt Zel, the Black Fairy's magic is strong and vast. And if she's anything like Black Fairy Tinkerbell then she will be unpredictable, always with a trick up her sleeve. I know your power but you're no match for her alone." Anya waved her hand around them saying, "None of us are. That's how we failed in defeating her in my Realm. She was able to pluck us off one by one, diminishing our numbers, because our combined powers were no match for her." Little did Anya know was that wasn't the entire truth.

"Well we aren't in your Realm," Zelena shot back. "I'm more powerful than you. Than all of you."

Regina stepped in there saying, "Believe what you want, but you're not going down there alone."

Emma stepped in there saying, "Alright, sibling rivalry aside, Regina's right. We need to get the wand back before we go up against her, and when we do – like Anya said – we're going to do this together."

Zelena scoffed. "Okay, fine, have it your way. But you're going to do it without me." She picked up Baby Robin's carried and stormed out of the Sheriff's Station.

Anya pointed after her asking, "Okay, what in the world happened to this Zelena to make her this way?"

"I know how much you don't want to, but you should really read Henry's Book," Regina replied and when Anya went off she asked, "Where are you going?"

Anya stopped to say, "I have an idea. I'll let you know if it pans out." Before anyone else could stop her, she waved her hand and red some swirled around her, getting her out of there.

"I'm still not sure if I trust her," Emma said aloud. "Look, I know she's technically your kid, but…"

Hook was the one who came to Anya's defense. "Based off what you've all told me, love she's been through a lot."

Regina took a deep breath before saying, "We can worry about her later. Right now, let's focus on getting this wand put together…"

When Anya appeared outside Gold's shop she had a literal facepalm moment because she completely forgot to them about Gideon and the Black Fairy having his heart.

"Later," she thought aloud. Anya had other things on her mind now. She was just about to open the door but Zelena walked out before she had the chance.

"What are you doing here?" Zelena asked her accusingly.

"I'm doing for you what my Aunt Zel did for me," she answered matter of factly.

Zelena crossed her arms asking, "And what is that?"

"Try to defeat the Black Fairy. Zelena from my Realm died when she tried and I'll be damned if I let that happen again." Anya looked at her in a way that made it clear she wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer.

Zelena looked her over. "Why did everyone in your Realm die?"

Anya swallowed a large lump in her throat before answering. "Because of me. They were protecting my heart." That was all she knew, but she still didn't know why.

Zelena didn't understand. "What's so special about your heart?"

Anya didn't answer this. "Story time later, Aunt Zel. It's time to – what is the phrase here? Oh yes – go kick some Black Fairy ass."

With that said, Zelena waved her hand to transport both herself and Anya away to do just that.

They rematerialized outside the Dwarf mines and Anya's brows furrowed a bit at the sight of them. "This isn't exactly what I was picturing."

"Oh, really?" Zelena shot back, leading the way. "And what exactly were you imagining?" She sounded annoyed.

"Well, a cave – not a big metal door," she answered as they walked through it. Once in the tunnels it looked more like it but there being electricity in there kinda through her off a bit. "Where are all the crystals?"

"You have to mine for them," Zelena pointed out, looking at her like she was an idiot. "Don't you know anything?"

Anya scoffed then smiled, "Same sass. You know, I'm glad that's not different."

Zelena looked at her smugly before saying, "Now stop talking or you'll give our position away." With that said, she continued down the mines with Anya right at her side.

They managed get down a ways before they heard sounds coming from behind them. Anya instantly conjured up a ball of magic and turned around bit dissipated it once she saw it was Regina.

Regina was expecting to see Zelena there, but not Anya. "What do you two think you're doing?"

"What are you doing here, Regina?" Zelena asked in reply.

"Isn't it obvious," she answered, walking towards them. "I came to get you out of here before you get yourself killed." Waving a hand at her daughter – yes, Regina saw Anya as her daughter – she added in, "And Anya."

"I didn't ask her to come," Zelena retorted. "She chose to. And I'm not going anywhere, just get out of my way." She tried to get past her sister but didn't succeed.

"It's for your own good," Regina explained as she blocked her path.

Zelena scoffed. "Oh, so – so now you care about my own good?"

Anya had enough of this. "What happened between you two? My mother and Aunt Zel were closer than anything. Why…" Anya clenched her fists to keep herself from going any further. "This is between the two of you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Black Fairy to kill before my history becomes this world's future."

Anya stormed off to leave the sisters to deck it out if needed. Of course, she had no idea where she was going but once she turned a corner she stopped with a gasp because Gideon was standing right there. "Something else that's the same."

"You shouldn't be here," he warned her, his face completely serious.

"Oh, shouldn't I?" Anya asked, stepping closer to him. "What are you going to do if I stay? Kill me?"

"If I have to," Gideon answered, still very serious.

Anya looked him right in the eye and said, "I don't think so. You won't do anything to hurt me because that would break my heart and that is something no version of you could ever do."

Gideon couldn't explain why he felt connected to and drawn to this girl he had never seen before in his life, but she was right. He couldn't bring himself to do anything to her and he was afraid that the Black Fairy would so he said, "I may not bring you harm, but that does not mean I will let you get in my way." Gideon broke a potion at Anya's feet that made her fall asleep – not a sleeping curse, just a little nap – and caught her before she fell.

After laying Anya gently on the ground, he waved his hand over her to teleport her safely away. As far as he knew, the Black Fairy knew nothing of this girl's existence and he wanted to keep it that way.

When Anya awoke some time later, she was in an open cell at the Sheriff's station. She bolted upright to find Regina sitting on the cot with her. "I was afraid that was a sleeping curse for a minute there," she said to Anya. "Are you alright?"

"Gideon sent me away," Anya answered, getting off the cot. "What happened? Is the Black Fairy dead?"

"No." Regina walked out of the cell with her to join the others gathered. "The Black Fairy used Zelena's magic to turn all the fairy crystals in the mine to dark fairy crystals."

"She did what?" Emma asked incredulously. "You've got to be kidding me."

"Unfortunately I'm not," Regina sighed. "But don't worry, she'll no longer be a problem. And now that Zelena is back in Oz, I can focus on getting the other half of this Wand."

"Did she have the Onyx Heart?" Anya asked, her tone making it clear how important that question was. "Did the Black Fairy have the Onyx Heart?" Anya wanted to give her opinion about Zelena going back to Oz, but that would have to wait.

Regina had never even heard of that object before. "If she did, we didn't see it. But I've never even heard of such a thing."

"Because it doesn't exist here," Zelena stated as she walked into the Station with baby Robin. "And before you start in on me, I didn't agree to go to Oz but I was going to go. Then I changed my mind."

"Why?" Regina wanted to know.

"Because, despite what you may think, there's nothing for me in Oz," Zelena admitted. "Anyone who ever cared for me there now hates me. And…" she looked over at Anya, "I want to be Aunt Zel," she looked back to Regina, "and your sister. You and Anya are all I've got." Zelena swallowed a lump in her throat. "Going down to those mines was foolish and arrogant and I never should have put Anya in that position. And I'm sorry, but I think I can help now."

"How?" Snow asked, believing Zelena's wanting to help.

"The Black Fairy used my magic to turn those Fairy Crystals dark, so my magic's still tethered to it," Zelena replied.

"Well, how does that help us?" Hook wanted to know.

"Because it means we can destroy it." Zelena went into her bag and pulled out a box with a heart carved on the front of it. "In Anya's Realm it's the Onyx Heart, but here it's the Crimson Heart."

Anya stepped forward, closer to Zelena. "What does that do here?"

Zelena looked as if she was going to cry as she answered, "Destroy my magic."

Anya joined Zelena, Regina, and Emma down to the Crypt where the Crimson Heart was going to be put to use. "What did the Onyx Heart do?" Zelena asked, stalling a little bit as she opened the Crimson Heart's container.

"It drained all Light Magic my Realm," Anya answered, then got specific. "It was used in a Curse to drain Light magic in my Realm." As Zelena reached out for the Heart, she asked, "Is this going to harm you?"

Zelena didn't know the answer to that and looked at Regina. "If something should happen, promise you'll look after Robin."

"Of course," Regina answered then gave her sister's hand an encouraging squeeze. "But nothing is going to happen."

That wasn't good enough for Zelena. "Just promise."

Regina nodded in understanding. "I promise."

Emma did the same. "Me, too. She's one of us. We'll protect her with our lives."

Zelena took a deep breath and picked up the Crimson Heart. Her breathing turned heavy as the Heart drained her of all her magic and when the last bit was gone her magic shot out from the Heart and throughout all of Storybrooke – returning the Fairy Crystals to normal as it did.

When this was done, Regina asked her sister, "How do you feel?"

"Weak," Zelena admitted then turned to Anya. "Bet your Aunt Zel never looked weak."

Anya went over to Zelena and hugged her tight saying something she never thought she would but it was true, "You look stronger than she ever did."

Zelena thought she was going to cry at that and hugged Anya – hugged her niece – in return.

Now it was Regina's turn. "Zelena, I'm so sorry for everything." She hugged her sister. "I'm so proud of you."

Emma picked up the clear Fairy Crystal that was previously Dark and asked, "If this crystal is back to normal…does that mean all the others are, too?"

"Yes," Regina answered. "The Black Fairy is back to square one. The Final Battle won't be starting today."

Meanwhile, Henry was back in the Library looking for something to help decipher the symbols he'd written. He didn't find anything when he went with Emma, but he couldn't stop feeling like he'd missed something. So, he went back to look again.

Henry's eyes went over every book that was there, every shelf, and found nothing all over again. What was he missing?

Henry was on the verge of giving up when suddenly he felt the wave of Zelena's magic move through the Library. The force of her magic threw a book from an unknown location and slid it right to his feet.

This clearly happened for a reason, so he bent down and picked up leather bound journal with a matching leather string wrapped around it. Feeling curious, he unwound it and looked inside.

The journals contents resembled that of his Storybook but the writing was handwritten and the pictures were little sketches in the margins. Henry had never seen this before but it was something he was definitely going to read. He quickly brought it over to the table and sat down, his eyes scanning over the words about people he knew well, but they were not from his realm…

The Charmings, Regina, Robin Hood, Zelena, Emma, and the others who loved Anya very much all gathered around the table to discuss the turn of events.

"My mother ripped out his heart right in front of her," Regina informed them tearfully. "Just like she did to Daniel."

Robin took her hand and gave it a squeeze before finishing the tale of events. "Anya felt like her heart was breaking and it did. Her heart has a crack in it now."

"Is it still Light?" David asked, needing to know that before any sympathy could be given.

Regina understood this. "Yes, the Light is still there. My mother will do anything to break her heart completely. How did she get out of Wonderland?"

"She had help," Rumplestiltskin, wearing a suit of royal armor, answered as he joined them. "The Darkness found its host, a fairy by the name of Tinkerbell."

"Realm travel is only accessed by Light magic. How did she get from Neverland to Wonderland, to here?" Snow couldn't figure that out.

"None of that matters right now," Emma - young though she was, wise above her years – interjected. "We can figure that out later. Right now we have to keep Anya safe and make sure her heart doesn't break completely no matter what. If her heart grows dark then there will never be any Light magic in existence again – in any realm. I am certain we all know this."

"I can take her to Oz," Zelena offered. "The other witches and myself can protect her from any threat our mother and this Tinkerbell can throw at us."

"No," David ordered. "Separating her from her family, her home, that's just the thing to add another crack to her heart. And they killed her True Love, the only thing capable of repairing it."

"Our love for her will have to be enough. She's loved by everyone in the Enchanted Forest." Snow believed this would be enough.

"War is coming," Robin countered. "If we all die, what then? What will she be left with but more heartbreak?"

"Then we will have to send her across the divide," Regina regretted to say. "Place a spell upon Anya that will let our Others recognize her so she won't be alone."

"Why can't we do that now so we know she'll be safe?" Emma asked, looking around the table.

"Because that kind of spell can only be cast as a last resort," Rumple explained. "The spell won't be accessible until then – either of them. And…only one person can be in charge of casting the spell should the time come."

"Who should be the one?" Robin asked, looking at his wife.

"I will," Gideon answered. "Leave the spell with me."

Everyone agreed to that, then David made something clear "Now, remember, Anya is to never know of this meeting or the significance of her heart. She cannot have that weight on her shoulders."

Everyone agreed to that as well.

Henry closed the book with wide eyes because now he knew what everyone was trying to figure out in the backs of their minds – Why Cora and Black Fairy Tinkerbell were after Anya's heart. If it broke then Light magic would cease to exist forever.
